Rooted Man - July 06, 2022 03:00 - 25 minutes ★★★★★ - 13 ratings
As a Christian,  I'd like to think that my life is fully devoted to Jesus and serving Him.  Doesn't mean I dont make mistakes and not sin, because I do.  What it means is that I am continually striving to get the crap out and insert Jesus in every aspect of my being.  The Lord has been after me ...

Rooted Man - June 07, 2022 05:00 - 26 minutes ★★★★★ - 13 ratings
I gotta tell yall that the Lord has really been challenging me to look inward at my motives on situations.  Why do I do the things that I do?  What is the intent behind it all... or as the Word calls it "the heart".  The Father will always know my heart and see what is behind the rhyme or reason...

It was a blast going a bit deeper in the Word!  I had never heard the term "Olivet Discourse" or what it meant, but it is written in the first three gospels.  Its so important to take the scripture and read it in context to try and understand the true meaning of it.  In this episode I talk about...

Got some deep quality time with my Father.  He continues to work on my heart with certain things in my life.

Rooted Man - April 27, 2022 04:00 - 25 minutes ★★★★★ - 13 ratings
Was able to get into the word a little bit this past week in Tacoma, WA.  The Lord is continuing to work on me and iron out some details in my life.  But a lot of times, He will simply remind me of things I've already learned, and this week was no different.  I was reminded that my sinful nature...

Rooted Man - April 20, 2022 22:00 - 23 minutes ★★★★★ - 13 ratings
Not a bad week fellas!  The Lord had to remind me about being peaceable and humble when it comes to those who are in authority over you.  There are going to be people in these positions that do not know Jesus, they are set in their own ways, and they may not have tact in how they critique you.  ...

Spring Training is over, and now the season begins.  Home for one day, and I was reminded of how much my son Levi loves me.  He wanted ME to do everything with him, ME.  Sure I was gone for a while, but there was no doubt that my boy desired to be by my side.  The love I felt was overwhelming.  ...

Had a great week in the word because I made sure to prioritize my time with the Lord.  Was I tired a little?

Rooted Man - November 15, 2021 04:00 - 18 minutes ★★★★★ - 13 ratings
Martin Luther King had a great quote about "content of character".  It really struck me and inspired me to speak about it a bit.  This week was still inconsistent a little with the "quiet times", and its still frustrating.  But, the Lord is still speaking to me, so that's good!  I also read abou...

I had more "quiet time" opportunities this week (3), then I've had all month.  I'm still figuring out how to incorporate more of those as the days continue to progress, but I feel like I'm gaining steam to a degree.  I can look at myself critically and see what adjustments I need to make.  Adjus...

Still just finding routine with the change in lifestyle.  It's not been the easy part of the year, that's for sure.  Any time there is change in your life, you have to develop consistent routine or it's just going to be tough to find any rhythm.  There is no doubt that this is crucial for me and...
