In this episode, we’re reviving the Nourish The Dream Podcast! This is going to become a regular feature around here, and with today’s installment, we’re going straight for a very difficult subject.

How Have the Circumstances of Recent Years Affected You and Your Dreams?

With a rapidly changing, often difficult business climate for the last few years, many people have experienced hardships and dealt with circumstances they may have never previously imagined possible.

In today’s podcast episode, we address head-on the death of your dreams. Hopefully you haven’t dealt with some of the difficulties… loss of a business, bankruptcy, foreclosure, loss of a marriage, loss of a job. But if you have… or even if you’ve only been impacted in a small way, you may be hearing a message about you and about your future. And it may be time to take another look at that message.

Listen today and be encouraged!

For the final episode of our podcast in 2008, I wanted to share with you this interview that I conducted along with my good friend Michael Q. Pink a couple of months ago.

William Paul Young

Regardless of whether or not you’ve read the runaway bestseller, The Shack, you’ll want to hear what author Paul Young has to say as he tells the story behind the writing of the book. I will warn you that some material may not be appropriate for younger children, as Paul shares his own personal story in a brutally honest and open way.

If you haven’t yet picked up your copy of The Shack, go grab it from your local Christian bookstore, Amazon.com, or any major book retailer right away.

If you prefer to grab the audio, download it from EStudySource today.

In this episode of the Nourish The Dream Podcast, I’m posting audio from a message I shared recently in the pulpit of my good friend, Jesse DiMartino of the Freedom Center in Sarasota.

If you’ll forgive some local information and a brief personal story, you’ll hear the real heart behind the recent post, Cultivating a Heart that Listens to God. I’ve become convinced that despite all of the bad news in our economy, we’ve not yet heard — nor experienced — the worst. There’s more to come.

At the same time, if we will focus our energies on digging a well deep enough to retrieve the sustenance we need — out of relationship to God — we will be properly positioned to come through this season and the next.

(For the record, the story of the motorcycle accident was told to me as completely true story by someone whose word I trust. Please don’t try to use motorcycles as a weight loss program.)

Special thanks to Jesse DiMartino, Jacob Owens, J.R. Yoder and Andrew Owens… as well as to the entire Freedom Center family.
