One of the biggest yet obvious lessons I learned or re-learned about productivity and the Christian life this year is this: You know what to do, but you’re not doing it. You allow yourself to be confused. Often, to be productive people who please God, we don’t need more information; we need the strength and courage to take action. At least, this is what I’ve found in my own life. I love acquiring information. Books, podcasts, and YouTube videos are among my favorites.

gospelrelevance.com Updated Jul 29, 2024 I wouldn’t call myself a prayer warrior, but I’ve made tremendous efforts to grow in prayer over the past several years. All Christians are commanded to do so, and few hours of the day are more enjoyable than my quiet alone time with the Lord. Over the years, mainly through suffering and good resources on prayer, I’ve learned that I must pray for myself regularly.

gospelrelevance.com Updated Jul 05, 2024 Do you despise your job? As a Christian, it can be hard working at a job that you hate. Even worse, it can be hard to thrive in a dark work environment— an environment where sin is not just discussed, but openly celebrated. The road is difficult. But it’s not impossible. I started working at age 14. Since then:-I’ve had bosses that were severe micro-managers. -I’ve been cheated out of money.

George Mueller is one of the saints from church history who has most inspired me to trust God. He’s famous for his work with orphans and his dependence on the Lord in prayer. His autobiography is filled with hundreds of pages of prayers and the record of God’s faithful answers (he reports over 50,000 answers to prayer). He has been the subject of many biographies, and for good reason. Mueller’s life of faith was characterized by a deep trust in the goodness and sovereignty of his God.

When I became a Christian in 2005, the Emergent movement was near its apex. That loose-knit group of church leaders, writers, and provocateurs embraced a new kind of Christianity for the postmodern mindset. I didn’t see the appeal, but many who grew up in the church did. An entire cottage industry developed around the movement’s high-profile voices, with book deals and speaking tours to help them share their “bold vision” with the world.
