Following God's Blueprint: Lessons from Creation

Episode Title: Following God's Blueprint: Lessons from Creation

Episode Description:

Ever wonder if you're on the right path? At 40 years old, I'm still asking that question. In this episode, we explore Genesis 1:1-2:3 and discover an unexpected framework for pursuing our dreams and finding God's will. From the seven days of creation, we'll uncover four practical steps to building a life that moves from good to "very good." Whether you're chasing a big dream or simply trying to figure out your next step, this episode offers a fresh perspective on trusting God's guidance while actively creating the life He's called you to live.

In This Episode:

  • Why we all struggle with knowing if we're following God's will
  • The tension between our dreams and reality
  • How Genesis 1-2:3 provides a practical framework for life
  • Four actionable steps from the creation account: Define your goal, add the details, recognize the "very good," and rest with purpose
  • Why rest isn't about stopping—it's about sharpening your tools
  • Understanding that life is built one day at a time, not all at once

Key Quote:

"Life isn't about waiting for God to hand us a map. It's about trusting Him to guide us as we create something good. When we build on these good foundations, we create a life that is very good."

About the Podcast

Leaving the Kid's Table
Do you remember the “kid’s table” when at family holidays or dinners? I do and that is right where I feel I am at, still, in my walk with God. Some look at it as being “ankle deep” in our walk. Either way, I am at a point where I am tired of being in this state. Every Monday at 6 am I will release short episodes where I am going to share what stood out to me in my time with God. At the end of the day it comes down to where scripture meets your story. You may be in the same spot as I am or you are sitting at the adult table or may need to join the kids table. Either option is ok, these episodes are to start the conversation as to “what stands out to you?” and not only grow myself but help others grow as well. "Here's the thing - leaving the kid's table isn't a one-time decision. It's a daily choice. And every day you choose to go deeper, I'll be right here with you."
