Roundtable: The Importance of Morning Routines


How you start your day is incredibly important to your productivity and overall well-being \\u2014 but what works for you may not work for someone else. Our guests share what they like best about their morning routines, what they\\u2019d like to change, and the gains they\\u2019ve seen from structuring their mornings (even a little bit). If you\\u2019re looking to craft a better start to your day, you\\u2019ll definitely want to tune in.


Culture: JP Pokluda on Breaking Bad Habits (Part 1)\\xa0\\xa0


In Romans 7, the Apostle Paul is candid about his struggle with sin: \\u201cWhy do I do what I don\\u2019t want to do?\\u201d Pastor Jonathan Pokluda asks the same question in his latest book (titled exactly that!). We can all relate, but what do we do about it? Is it possible to replace vices with virtues and bad habits with good ones? Is it possible to not let sin have mastery over us? In part one of our conversation, JP will share how Christians drift into sin, and tackles two of the book\\u2019s main themes: replacing pride with humility, and choosing self-control over lust.
