Welcome to the conversations that matter podcast. My name is John Harris. I don't usually do

podcasts from the Lowe's parking lot, which is where I am today, but it's been pretty crazy lately.

For those who don't know, I've been renovating my house, mostly actually doing repairs on it.

I haven't lived in it for four years and before that it even needed some work, but as many homeowners know,

once you get involved in one project you find out about

ten other projects you need to do so I found out like my my heating ducks were all

rusted out and I had to change the heating lines and then I found out like two days ago that the

the beam that all my slats were sitting on in the back of my bathroom was

routed out so I had to take off the siding and

replace that so that's kind of what I've been up to lately with a lot of my time

and I've been trying to keep up with the podcast as best I can but that means

sometimes when things get tight like this week I have to do I have to work with what I have this weekend I'll be busy I have a wedding for a good friend of mine which is awesome

But I thought if I'm gonna put something something out it's going to be from the Lowe's parking lot so here we are and I appreciate those who are praying for me by the way

With releasing a book and moving and doing renovations.

It's just been a lot lately.

So thank you for your prayers, for those who are praying.

And just please keep me.

I know there's a lot to be praying about today,

so I don't want to be selfish but if you do think about me

just pray that we would have just a good balanced time management and prioritize things

correctly be efficient all of that good stuff.

So anyway, today we're going to talk about an article that was in the Gospel Coalition.
