With the launch of “Catching Your Breath: The Podcast,” you can expect 30-minute episodes on self-help, self-compassion, and self-care. I’m going to take the principles from the book and make them as practical and action-oriented as possible for people just like you, living an extraordinary, ordinary life. I want to teach you how to cultivate calm in your everyday life. Think of it as a weekly breath of fresh air.

Masturbation and How to Stop Disappointing Jesus

Show Notes:

  • I don’t think Joel Osteen preaches on this very often.
  • What’s about to come after this is completely upside down and backward. Nothing about this is how society works.
  • Blessed are the poor in spirit? Blessed are those who mourn? The modern church doesn’t believe any of this.
  • “There’s more opportunity for God when you’re at the end of your rope.” What are you even talking about?
  • The Kingdom of God is a completely upside down reality. The path of Jesus is the path of downward mobility.
  • Grace is a level playing field, whether you like it or not.
  • “Grace isn’t opposed to hard work, but it is opposed to earning.” Dallas Willard
  • You can’t buy or earn your way into God’s Kingdom.
  • When you’re poor, you don’t have much to defend.
  • When you’re mourning or meek or a peacemaker, you aren’t trying to defend things.
  • We mentally ascent to these words, but we keep them at arm’s length.
  • What does “righteousness” mean? I think Jesus is talking about an inner posture.
  • If you deal with the internal life, the external life will take care of itself.
  • Prohibition just increases the temptation.
  • When righteousness is your posture, everything else takes care of itself.
  • “To the extent that you live in fear, that is the extent to which you don’t know that you are loved.” -Paul Young
  • Sometimes hungering and thirsting for righteousness might be calling the therapist.
