It's not hard to believe that both you and Nancy have an awesome work ethic, because you continue to send out your messages even on your vacation. It's also such a pleasure having Nancy on this week as well. I'm telling the people I encounter this week its coffee with John & Nancy in God's country. I love these messages. DG

Thank you DG. Great point about their work ethic. - Brad

[@cheryloechsle1880]

So wonderful…will have to listen again…so many practices to find myself BACK TO GOD.

[@BecomeNew]

Yes, Cheryl. I often relisten. Thanks for your note! - Brad

[@jackiefeeney9135]

Once again just so graciously helped by God through your hearts openness and honest simplicity. I started listening to Dallas Willard I had never heard of him probably because I was a Pentecostal thank God my eyes are being opened to the richness He meant for us to realise in the gift of each other. 🇨🇮 blessings from Ireland

[@BecomeNew]

Hello Ireland! What a wonderful note. - Brad

[@brucebaker111]

Thank you both for a great way to start my morning. ❤ Today, I was reminded to take moments throughout my day to pause, breathe, and be mindful of God's presence. Short moments of quiet reflection help me to stay connected to Him.

[@BecomeNew]

Yes, I agree. Whenever someone is encouraged, we are as well. - Brad

[@cindylms]

“One of the most important practices is finding our way back to God.” - beautifully said 🙏🏼💜

[@BecomeNew]

Thank you Cindy. - Brad

This is encouraging to read, Laura. - Brad

[@maryasher8846]

Amazing how our lives change when we look outward rather than inward. Thank you so much for our daily gifts.

[@BecomeNew]

So true Mary! We are touched when we remember we are not the only person in the room. Thank you for sharing. Bucky

[@Karen_richwillo]

The honest simplicity of this is so helpful - I’m human I’m not God - find my way back to God. So many simple truths. Love hearing Nancy again. I also think it’s so valuable to hear about the value of our work! When I started out in church the only place of value was in church and the value of the minister. It was years later that I realised God was with me in my work and that work was my ministry, that all my life was ministry and valuable. Again,thank you both.

[@BecomeNew]

Yes yes, this is so true! Your whole life and all your work is as valuable as any one in any church related occupation. - Brad

[@robynrainwater]

I cannot express how this message was important and transformative to my spirit today. I need this reminder far too often. Thank you for the bread crumbs!

[@BecomeNew]

Glad it was helpful Robyn - we appreciate you sharing you heart. Be Blessed Bucky

[@lisajones-tw8dc]

It is disconcerting sometimes to see the distance between belief and trust...It's good to know that God waits for us!

[@BecomeNew]

Great insight Lisa - thank you for being part of our Become New Community. Bucky

[@cindyburfield7464]

I find this, particularly the words of Brother Lawrence, so beautifully humbling

[@BecomeNew]

Hi Cindy. Thanks for your comment. - Brad

[@terifactuar]

Finding my way back to God…… this is something I do everyday. Dear Father, thank you for loving me anyway ❤🙏🏼

[@susane919]

John and Nancy are so good together - great talk today . Thank you.

[@BecomeNew]

Glad you enjoyed it -we appreciate your kind words. Bucky

[@lvshope]

Mind blowing the # of times occupations are mentioned in Scripture.

[@BecomeNew]

It truly is! - Brad

[@mistysmith2378]

"We believe that God loves us, but we don't trust that God loves us." - Wow. Yeah. Lord help me in my unbelief.

[@BecomeNew]

"I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief" Mark 9:24 You are not alone in your story - thank you for sharing Misty Bucky

[@kaseyberg4022]

So good to see you two this morning 💖 this really hit home! We are in a new series here in Rockford, “Pursuing the Presence of God” with Steve Carter. It’s so good!

[@BecomeNew]

This is nice Kasey. All our love to you. - Brad

[@RobertaKC1]

Loves these conversations that include Nancy. I can so deeply relate to her stories.

[@BecomeNew]

Good! We're hearing this a lot, about Nancy joining in the conversation. - Brad

[@elizabethclark4722]

It's always the return trip for me! That lovely song that says "I have a heart that's prone to wander…" I come back quicker these days though… And I don't go as far as I did before noticing .... It doesn't seem as if I'm punished as much for my character defects, as I am BY them!

[@BecomeNew]

You are loved Elizabeth. God doesn't punish you or anyone for character defects. We're all broken. Every human is broken. Jesus came to begin the mending process, to little by little make us whole again. Thanks so much for your note. - Brad

[@ChristaMatthews]

One of my favorite topics, love the real life stories!

This is nice to read. Thank you! Please know you are loved and valued as part of this community. - Brad

[@TLTC2010]

Great message! I would love to hear more from Nancy about "spiritual practices," why she prefers that term, if anything, and avoiding the d word. :) I think she offers a unique and refreshing perspective.

[@BecomeNew]

We love hearing from Nancy - such a fresh and beautiful perspective - we are grateful she is part of our Ministry Bucky

[@tracykamemoto4602]

Wonderful Episode! Thank you Nancy for your story - very impactful & it offered me a new perspective on my own experience with work + faith.

[@BecomeNew]

Thank you, Joy! This is nice to hear. - Brad

[@elaineh1041]

Good afternoon 🌞 whew, tough to get out of the way & recover…oddly I can’t recall a time at work, (maybe too many,😮) but as a mom, I put effort to stop in the midst of deboning chicken or cleaning the toilet when one of the girls would say, “hey mom, you got a minute?” Earlier days as a mom, I’d interrupt them and say “just a minute…” then when I remembered to get back to them, the response was “Never mind, forget it”. That phrased broke my heart-that time will never come again. For me that is the worst epic fail. I seek him first daily just because I know my weaknesses 🤦🏻‍♀️…

[@BecomeNew]

So honest, and we can all relate to what you're describing. You are so loved, and your humility and heart for God are very evident. - Brad

[@barbsimmons4185]

I love the videos! Thank you. Short enough I can take time, long enough to be full of content that keeps us going. GOD IS SO GOOD! Unconditional love. Always turn back to Him. Blessings

[@BecomeNew]

Love that! Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us. Bucky

[@paulkick7870]

God is waiting for us to find Him again and glad that we are back!

[@BecomeNew]

Yes Paul! This is it, so true. - Brad
