Fred Speaks

This episode is about rest for our souls. Rest for your soul is deeper than any other kind of rest we can experience. It’s not based on conditions or circumstances. It is rooted in our faith and confidence that we’re deeply and unconditionally loved, and held in his arms. True rest for our soul comes when we trust God fully, which is quite different from merely saying we trust God. Words will not give us the rest our souls long for. Trust will. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fred-speaks/support

This episode is about the best approaches to deal with the crossroads of life. Here are a few approaches to crossroads: Make a Major Change Crossroads can be approached lightly, but heading straight for it at full force may make the best path even better. Force the crossroad to give you the best path. Act Before You Think In any case, acting before you think gets you somewhere with immediate results whereas thinking before leaves you where you are and you are left to imagine the place you could’ve gone to, had you made the decision instead of overthinking it. Backtrack Backtracking may not always be possible, but in cases where it is possible and if it is necessary, it should be considered as an option. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fred-speaks/support
