For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake and the gospel’s will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God]. [Matt 10:39; Luke 17:33; John 12:25] For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world [with all its pleasures], and forfeit his soul? For what will a man give in exchange for his soul and eternal life [in God’s kingdom]? For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Do you long for a safe place to encounter God amid the noise of your day? These guided audio meditations will help you rediscover what it means to rest in the divine presence of God. The first meditation is about searching after the peace of God. The second meditation is about following the sacred path to God. And the third meditation will help you encounter God in all His creation.
Frederick Buechner once wrote that "the place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet." Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your purpose and path to God. These guided audio meditations will help you reflect on following the highest path, denying yourself, setting aside selfish interests, and marking yourself as a follower of Christ.
If you ever wonder what it means to really follow Jesus, you’re not alone. We tend to make this harder than it is. In this short Plan, we will learn how Jesus calls us to follow Him, and His heart behind making such a bold request.
We live in tumultuous times, and life can come at you relentlessly. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. But God is not surprised by where you find yourself, and He has made a way of escape for you to overcome—every time. The closer you walk to Him, the more you have access to His answers in every situation.
