    I listened to this podcast all week and it was great. Thanks for all of the insights. My aha! moment was about planning if the friendship took a different turn. I never thought about that! Emmanuel was a great guest and I learned a lot. Sometimes I miss the one-hour format but I’m glad to get the knowledge however it comes!
    I also liked the parts about going to God first with your problems. I’ve been so busy lately and I’ve neglected meditation (not prayer, though) so I’m going to that in about 30 minutes. I like that this podcast keeps me on track with the things I should be doing!

      Thank you so much for listening Autumn! I am so glad that you enjoyed the discussion with Emmanuel. He shared so many great insights.

      The insights he shared about planning and having a vision got me thinking too. It was such an enlightening experience for me.

      You’re not the only one. It can be challenging to remember to go to God first. I suppose the key is to keep doing it until it becomes a habit or second nature for us to do so.

      I am so happy that you are enjoying the podcast. Thank you for your continued support!
