A Few Favorite Podcasts
I love to learn. I love to listen to words of wisdom. Words of life & truth that lift me up. A practical tip that’s helpful. An encouraging scripture that can turn everything around.
i’ve learned:
Whether its a church message, podcast, book, or music — it influences me. Who I am & the way I act. & In order to be the wife, mother, business owner, friend, person I want to be, I must fill my mind & heart with words of truth & life. At the same time, I must also filter what I listen to & choose wisely.
it goes like this:
I listen during a drive. I listen at home. While wiping down the countertops. Or folding towels. & then I make a note. I write what I want to remember.
here’s what I’m getting at:
I’ve come to love the opportunity of podcasts. The ability to make the most of my time in the midst of every day life.
This a shortened list, of course. I find value in most, if not all the episodes.
Find the ones you love. (It’s okay to delete the ones you don’t.)
Here are six I’m currently enjoying! Feel free to share your favorite podcasts too. I’d love to hear!
