Silencing the Noise of Distraction

"Anxiety in a man's heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad." (Proverbs 12:25) This verse provides hope to anyone drowning amidst the heaviness and burden of anxiety, worry, and fear. A good word has the power to set us free and allow all those who are weary and heavy-laden to enter the rest promised by Jesus Christ in Matthew 11:28-30. But what is a good word and how exactly does it make us glad?

In the first of a five-part podcast on "A Good Word", we discover how Jesus silences the noise of distraction in our lives and realigns our focus back to Him. By studying the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10:38-42, we uncover how Jesus not only regains our attention, but also protects us from the onslaught of "noise" trying to attack our lives. Are you ready to have the weight of anxiety lifted? Are you ready to discover "A Good Word"?

You are loved. If you don't read anything else today, please walk away with these words. These words took me 33 years to even begin to understand and grasp. This is not because I wasn't loved; rather, because I couldn't comprehend why anyone would love me. Everything around us today is designed to try and change us into who we "should be" rather than celebrating who we were made to be. That is why I am doing this podcast; to help show you that you are loved just as you are. You are enough. You are a child of God.

I am not a pastor, religious leader, or spiritual guru. I am a person, just like you. I have seen the darkness of despair and lived the brokenness that comes out of it. Yet, I have experienced the transforming power of freedom that only comes from the love and grace of Jesus Christ. It is that love and grace that I believe and live with that is there waiting for you. Whether you need a pick-me-up or freedom from bondage, I pray these podcasts will help. Thank you for joining me and remember: You are loved.
