Week 3 - The Wall or the Window:Is God a wall stopping you from what you shouldn't do, or a window revealing what you could do Willing to take a look?

Week 2 - The Directions or the Map:How do you think it works: God’s got everything planned in advance and your job is to figure that plan out and follow it?

Let’s figure this out together.If you want to view the video mentioned about dividing the chocolate bar, you can find it HERE. Find the other resources from Sunday at www.jacobs-well.net/leftovers

Week 1 - The Painter or the Coder:It’s time to do some rethinking and realize God isn’t so far outside and apart from reality that God can’t get involved with us without breaking things – like the laws of physics. In fact God fits. Here’s a ‘what if’ for you… What if God created the world to make more sense with than without God? What if the deeper and closer you looked at the world the more, not less God you saw? Maybe God is so natural to our world that God is SuperNatural.

Decisions, Decisions: Doing Right When You Don't Know the Right Thing to Do. We just spent five weeks talking about “This is Your Life” and amid all the encouragement and possibilities it still leaves us with the perennial dilemma of what to do at any given moment; that moment when it isn’t so clear what the right thing to do is. Our very own Nick Tasler joined Greg Meyer to talk about how we make decisions in an unclear, fast-paced world. Nick is a decision expert and author who works with major corporations and individuals.  Check out www.decisionpulse.com, and thanks for listening!Find more resources, like our GroupLife Discussion Guide and the filled-in outline from our Sunday Paper here www.jacobs-well.net/leftoversVisit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/jwmpls

This is Your Starfish: Your Life Matters! I can’t say it more clearly. No, you can’t do everything, but you do make a difference. In fact you are capable of things that the most influential politician, best athlete, amazing rockstar, super smart scientist could never do. Do you realize that? Are you finding ways to do it? What keeps you from making the difference you can, when you can, where you can? It's time to get a grip on how you make a difference because the world needs you, and God is counting on you.Thanks for listening!Videos from this message can be found here:How Wolves Change Rivers - http://youtu.be/ysa5OBhXz-QSplitting Watermelon with Rubberbands - http://youtu.be/Q1VoK0Ga36w?t=1m39sLaughter at the Bus Stop - http://youtu.be/xsyzC0MHH98Youth My5Words video - http://youtu.be/1Wj9sks4L8M

This Is Your Money.  This is about YOUR life, and whether you’ve ever thought about it or not, that means not letting your life be your money’s. It’s not as easy as you think to keep your money serving you rather than you serving it. It never has been, that’s why Jesus, Socrates, Confucius and others spent a lot of time talking about it. It’s time to take a good look at where it comes from, what it has to do with your life and what its purpose is.

THIS IS YOUR HOPE: All of us have stuff in our lives that needs to be fixed. We always have. We always will, and that's okay. This sounds a little Stuart Smalley, but it's true. Healing is as necessary to our lives as the air we breathe. So, how does healing become a reality for us, and what does God have to do with it all?

THIS IS YOUR NOW: People build lives on all sorts of things. Some things work better than others. One thing that every life that truly matters is built on is honesty. We’re talking real deep self-honesty; knowing who you are (and aren’t) and facing it. Can you put guilt, pride, embarrassment, delusions, denial and shame aside to discover your ‘now’? Or are you going to build a life on what doesn’t actually exist? Guess which God votes for? Thanks for listening to this podcast as we dig a lot deeper into what your now is all about.
