Control Issues: How Letting Go Reduces Anxiety | Sharon Hodde Miller
Today we are going to be talking about “How we long for control.” I think it’s safe to say that a lot of people strongly desire control. Control over their relationships, control over their jobs, and over their kids. The list could go on and on. We crave control and self-sufficiency! But wanting to constantly be in control can leave us hurting, drained, and anxious. Our guest today, Sharon Hodde Miller, author of the new book, “The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, The Anxiety It Gives Us, And the Real Power God Promises, will be talking about our relationship with control and why our culture is chronically anxious, and most importantly, she will talk about the real power God has given us in Jesus, to exercise influence over ourselves and our lives.Coffee and Bible Time Prayer JournalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer BinderCoffee and Bible Time Church Group Special - (Promo Code: PODCAST) to receive offer to buy 9 Prayer Journals or Prayer Binders and get the 10th one free when you purchase either the How to Pray Using the Prayer Journal course or the How to Pray Using the Prayer Binder course.Alabaster Co. - Use promo code CBTPROMO for 10% offBook: The Cost of ControlIG: @sharonhmillerYouTube: Sharon Hodde MillerGot a question or something on your heart?

How to Love Immigrants and Refugees | Josh Sherif & Sarah Lew Tierney
Today we are going to be talking about “How Immigrants and Refugees Strengthen our churches today” Our country has a long history of immigrants and refugees seeking a better life and finding it in America. For Americans that brings an incredible opportunity to spread the gospel, both individually and also through our local churches. God has called us all to welcome strangers, love our neighbors, and even our enemies, and make disciples of all nations, but sometimes we fail to see the least of these as God does – immensely valuable. Our guests today, Josh Sherif and Sarah Tierney have teamed up to write the book, “The Stranger at Our Shore,” which largely recounts Josh’s journey out of Egypt and Islam to the United States and conversation to the Christian faith. Josh and Sarah help us understand the importance of receiving immigrants into not only our society but lovingly into our churches.Coffee and Bible Time Prayer JournalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer BinderCoffee and Bible Time CoursesAlabaster Co. - Use promo code CBTPROMO for 10% offChurch Group Special - (Promo Code: PODCAST) to receive the offer to buy 9 Prayer Journals or Prayer Binders and get the 10th one free when you purchase either the How to Pray Using the Prayer Journal course or the How to Pray Using the Prayer Binder course.Book: The Stranger at Our SGot a question or something on your heart?

How to Discern God’s Will for Your Life | Brittany Ann
Today we are going to be talking about “Following God’s Will.” While Scripture is full of wisdom and advice, it isn’t always easy to know how God’s Word in the Bible—written thousands of years ago—should apply to our lives now. As a result, many Christian women wrestle with the question, “What does God want me to do—both in general and in specific situations I face every day?” Our guest today, Brittany Ann, author of the upcoming book, “Follow God’s Will: Biblical Guidelines for Everyday Life,” will help us answer these types of questions to boldly pursue God’s will for our lives and find practical ways to live out our faith on a daily basis while helping us understand God’s written Word and how it applies to us today.Visit our blog comment section to share your thoughts on this podcast episode:https://www.coffeeandbibletime.com/post/how-to-discern-god-s-will-for-your-lifeCoffee and Bible Time Prayer JournalCoffee and Bible Time Prayer BinderCoffee and Bible Time CoursesFaithful Counseling (sponsor) - Get 10% off your first monthAlabaster Co. - Use promo code CBTPROMO for 10% offBook: Follow God's Will: Biblical Guidelines for EveryGot a question or something on your heart?
