Summary
"If you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will." As Christians, we have the clearest and most compelling reason to live life differently by design. Except, so many of us live just like everyone else: prioritizing this life and the things of this world over eternity and the things above. In this episode we'll kick off our series on priorities by looking at what the Bible says about "First Things" in the Christian life. We hope it helps and blesses you!

| 0:00.0 | Fierce listeners, all right, hear this one thing. |
| 0:02.6 | If you hear nothing else for this episode, if you don't prioritize your life, someone else will. |
| 0:08.6 | Now that was a quote by Greg McCowne. |
| 0:10.7 | It's from a book called Essentialism. |
| 0:12.4 | I think it summarizes fairly succinctly what we're trying to get at with this episode and indeed this entire series. |
| 0:19.7 | And we are covering priorities priorities what do you think about |
| 0:22.9 | priorities selina what say you uh sometimes i feel like they're really strong and we're nailing it |
| 0:30.0 | and then other times i question every single decision in my life so that's kind of where the |
| 0:36.7 | pendulum's cold real hot and cold yeah i think the reason for that is a lot of people |
| 0:42.2 | don't truly understand their priorities, let alone what priorities are in general or what they |
| 0:47.7 | should be. Well, should they clash? And if they do, then which one do you choose, right? It's like... |
| 0:52.3 | Well, yeah, I think they naturally do clash, but... Should they, |
| 0:55.5 | though? Like, that's... Like, if you have an order of priorities, shouldn't things go in that order? And then they |
| 1:01.6 | would just, like, work integratingly and not be so conflicting with each other. Yeah, so that's a good |
| 1:09.3 | question. And we're going to talk about that, mainly around general priorities. |
| 1:12.9 | That'll be this episode. |
| 1:13.8 | And then we're going to get into the weeds in terms of how those priorities filter through |
| 1:18.8 | into the life of your marriage, your life as a husband, your life as a wife. |
| 1:23.1 | And so we're hoping to bring some clarity in this area because now more than ever, we as Christians need to have clear priorities that we are executing with conviction and clarity. |
| 1:33.3 | And we're going to talk about that today. |
| 1:34.4 | We'll see you on the other side. |
| 1:35.3 | Welcome to the fierce marriage podcast where we believe that marriage takes a fierce tenacity that never gives up and refuses to give in. |
