    Episode 514. Learn to Travel Light in Life with Light Watkins

    Episode 514. Learn to Travel Light in Life with Light Watkins
    Do you ever feel so stressed that you just want to stop? We’ve all been there. Burnout is a real thing that happens to anyone and everyone, especially when we’re burdened by so many responsibilities. People’s advice is usually to start mindfulness and meditation — but be honest, did this really work out for you? Chances are, you think meditation is all about carving a big chunk of your time for it.

    In today's episode, Light Watkins is here to finally set things straight about mindfulness. Spiritual minimalism is all about ‘traveling light’ without internal baggage and becoming more attuned to your intuition. This means becoming aware of your day-to-day life, not an hour-long meditation session.

    If you’re struggling with internal baggage and want to finally be free from them, this episode is for you!

    Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode:
    1. Discover how to travel light and what spiritual minimalism means.
    2. Understand the importance of listening to your intuition and how to use the split test to assess whether it’s your intuition's voice or just noise.
    3. Learn how to practice spiritual minimalism in other areas of your life like walking, laundry, and even packing for travels!
    Episode Highlights:

    [01:29] What is Spiritual Minimalism?
    [05:24] How Meditation Helps You
    [10:23] The Voices We Hear
    [14:52] The Split Test of Your Heart Voice
    [22:44] Following and Listening to Our Intuition
    [28:25] What is Exercise Minimalism?
    [37:21] What Alcohol and Coffee Does
    [45:46] The Practice of Handwashing Clothes and Packing

    S5, Ep 6: Learning to Listen for God’s Voice

    This season we’ve been talking about how to experience true revival in our everyday lives by understanding who God is, who we are in Him, and the kingdom of God that He is calling us to. In our last episode, we talked about how we can experience revival each and every day by learning to stay aware of God’s presence and inviting Him into everything we do. 

    In this episode, we’ll continue the conversation and talk about how we can practice recognizing God’s voice in our lives, begin to share our own thoughts and feelings with God as we go about our day, and learn to listen for and submit to the Holy Spirit's leading in our lives. 

    Hosted by Summer Shore and Melissa Campbell.

    A Life of Listening with Leighton Ford-CMAW096

    A Life of Listening with Leighton Ford-CMAW096

    What You'll Hear:

    • Leighton was adopted, but didn't find out about this until age 12
    • His mother was a devout Christian and raised himwith a spiritual grounding
    • His adoptive parents ran a jewelry store, he looks back and is thankful for the love and provision, but his parents did not have a loving marriage and fought a lot
    • When he was age 14, his mother left for a while and during that summer Leighton went to a Blue Water Bible Conference put on by a local business man.  A speaker talked about praying out loud from the Psalms and this was a turning point for Leighton. He felt God knew and understood that teenage boy
    • That year a man named Evan Hedley, came to his hometown to start "Youth for Christ" there and Leighton was appointed to be president.  Evan was a business man who had been in insurance.  He wasn't a preacher but he was an organizer and a mentor.  Evan lived to age 90 and 60 men including Leighton who had been mentored by Evan came to his funeral.
    • At age 16, Leighton met Billy Graham through Youth for Christ.  Billy was speaking and the auditorium was full, but Leighton was disappointed that no-one came up to give their life to the Lord.  Billy put an arm around Leighton's shoulder and encouraged him and prayed for him.
    • "Our seeming failures are not always God's failures"
    • Billy Graham gave Leighton a letter of recommendation for Wheaton and Leighton didn't get it in, but he transfered later and majored in Philosophy. He met Jean, Billy Graham's sister, there. They fell in love and married. Jean had a soft voice from Polio.  This soft voice was very important to Leighton, especially since it was in contrast to Leighton's mother's voice.
    • "Out of the many voices we hear....as we listen for that still, small voice of the Lord, we begin to find our own voice"
    • The best definition of a Christan is one who hears the voice of Jesus and follows His way
    • BREAK1-17:09 
      “"The Classic Christian Rock podcast by WildMan & Steve encompasses all a Christian Music fan would want in a podcast. They interview Christian Rock artists twice a month- those from the past and the musicians who are rocking for Christ today. On the same podcast is a weekly radio show called Metal Talk where you will here great talk about politics, current events and faith- all while listening to great Metal music.

    • "We're in a time where people are paying continuous partial attention"
    • Honor the Saabath as well as small Saabaths during the week
    • Dallas Willard said "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry"
    • We can be a workaholic and a thinkaholic
    • Take advantage of pauses in our day and pauses in our life
    • The monks have certain times durign the day when they pray. Leighton sets the alarm on his watch to go off and remind him to pause and listen.
    • "99% of Christians in the world will never be in a pulpit and never be a missionary, but they will have daily work"
    • Leighton's son-in-law is a doctor and prayed with a man and led him to Christ just before he died, and the family asked him to speak at his funeral.
    • At age 50, Leighton stopped and took inventory and he and his wife began to say "I wonder if there's something different" and prayed for 2 years.  During that time their son Sandy died from heart problems.
    • They felt led to lead the next generation to be what God wants them to be. Younger people want an older person to listen to them and help them.
    • To find someone to mentor, pray about it.  Start a GGTW (Guys and Gals to Watch) list. Be available not to give them advice and tell them what to do but a genuine interest in them.
    • "God's an artist.  He doesn't do copies, He only does originals."
    • Recommended prayer to start your work day "Lord, you're in my mind, think your thoughts in me. Be my wisdom, knowledge and insight.  Be in my eyes, see through me. Be in my voice and speak through me with silence or whatever is needed, and let me live this day in the reality of You in me.  I trust you for making it so."

    Driven and the Ugly Butterflies

    Driven and the Ugly Butterflies
    Do you know how to listen to your still small voice? The one that says somethings not quite right here. Often they say change, caution, or immenent danger ahead, run to safety and fast. Do you feel the dancing butterflies in your stomach? Is it instinct, self preservation (in part)? Is it the Voice of God (💯)? Join me for this off the cuff car cast where I catch a case. Oh, and this particular case of butterflies as it turns out they ended in a way I won't forget, nor will part of the world. With a name now etched in history forever beginning with letter Delta. So just press play ...
