Closing out the Awakening Series, special guest Pastor Steve Ulmer touches on our only responsibility in the Lord's prayer, that is to forgive.  But we first have to get that we are forgiven.  We see that often it takes desperation for us to cry out for help.  But the question is where do we go for help?  Do we go to the Lord or do we go to the temporary band aides of sex, drugs, money, TV, or other self soothers?  We see that the greatest pit of despair is our sin and our greatest need is for forgiveness.  We dive into not only what it is to accept God's EPIC and eternal forgiveness but also how to experience it.  07.15.07 (video iPod friendly)

Special guest Pastor Albert Moore talks about something we all deal with, worry.  We all worry about something but the reality is that the accomplishments of our worry is usually nothing.  Statistics show that 92 percent of what we worry about has nothing to do with the problems we are facing right now.  The root of all worry is us trying to play god.  We see what it means to take the Lord as our shepherd and how He can take care of us through His provision, protection, and guidance.  07.08.07 (video iPod friendly)

In this episode, we look at 3 eternal truths that come to us through God's invitations.  God is inviting us into a relationship, into a friendship, with Him so that we can see that there is more here than meets the eye.  That we are at war and fighting for something greater than ourselves.  God invites us to stand our ground and dig in our heals.  God invites us to offer hope to those around us not through judgment but through participation in the process by playing our crucial role in His adventure.  07.01.07 (video iPod friendly)

As we wind down this series on the Awakening to an EPIC life, we look at the I and the C, Image-Rich and Connective.  We know were made in God's image but we only reveal that to the world by doing what He designed us to be and do, no matter how small we may think that is.  He made you to be the best at what you do.  But you can't be that alone.  It is others that encourage and help to bring that out in us.  Stepping into our own design in turn provides a space for others to shine as well.  What is it that God has called you to be good at?   06.23.07 (video iPod friendly)
