Wisdom Catchers: Recent Episodes
Coastlands Community Church
Wisdom can be gained through personal experiences or it can be learned from others who have gone before you on this journey of life. Life is too short to learn everything from experience but when the application of knowledge is passed down from those who have gone before, a richness emerges that is not possible when one does it alone. We hope the Wisdom Catchers podcast helps you apply truth to your life as you pass along to others what you have learned.
We obtain wisdom from two primary sources: our own experience and the experience of others. Sometimes we learn what to do and sometimes we learn what not to do. As we gain wisdom from those who have gone before us, it is especially good to learn from those who are nearing the end of the journey so we can receive a perspective that few of us have as life culminates in so many ways. Today we hear from John and Barbara Myers who have been married over 68 years and have served their church and community in so many ways. They have two daughters and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Generosity
The focus of this podcast in the Walking in Financial Freedom series is generosity. Von and Teri give testimonials that highlight the 'aha' moments in their walk with becoming more generous. They discuss the scripture which says God owns the “cattle and a thousand hills” and how being generous has been a blessing in their life.

Debt
The conversation continues focusing on debt on the Walking in Financial Freedom series. Pastor Durant, Von, and Teri discuss scriptures and what God says about debt. The conversation embraces topics such as compounding interest, contentment, social media, and snowballs. The most important message is there is hope to get free from debt if you follow a proven plan and have mentors to coach you towards debt-free living.

Budgeting is not a bad word; it leads your family to freedom. Von and Teri continue the Walking in Financial Freedom series discussing the importance of intentionality in your money decisions. They discuss aligning personal or family values in creating budgets that stick. Scripture instructs us to have a plan for money, lest it disappears as quickly as it is received. Getting a budget started is usually the most challenging first step. They offer suggestions for removing low-hanging fruit in developing priority areas in your financial plan

God created us for a relationship. Though that relationship was broken by sin, Christ repaired the way back. Prayer is a relationship building tool with God the Father. We remain in constant relatonship through prayer and abiding in Jesus. John 15:5, sermon by Chris Alix
We live in a very broken world surrounded by many broken people who need the wisdom, life, and redemption of heaven. God has specifically placed us in positions where we have the opportunity to influence people for the Kingdom of Heaven. The souls of people are hanging in the balance and He is calling us to not only pray but to be involved and to rescue people from the helplessness and harassment they are experiencing by proclaiming the Good News. Matthew 9:35-38 Sermon by Durant Kreider
There are many directions we can go as we navigate through the decision-making processes of life and not all of them lead to God's best. Many times we let good things rob us of His best. In this episode, we look at who we are becoming through God's process rather than just focusing on what is to come. It is important to ask yourself these two wise questions as part of this prayer process: What's below your waterline? and Who's powering your boat? Philippians 1:9-11
Have you ever felt like life is lived on the edge of spinning out of control? Christ is the one who brings a steady hand to the wheel of life to keep us progressing on the road to life. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega, and His wisdom is all-knowing. How will you trust in the one who has His hand on everything, including you?
