Common sense--sound, practical judgment, is a wonderful tool for life--but the born-again believer finds there are times when he/she must go beyond common sense. Most of what we call "walking with Christ" isn't very practical for this life but the benefits are out of this world!
These podcasts, like my blog (wandamacavoy.com) are based on lessons I have learned while walking with Jesus.
When God hands you that "bitter pill" situation, what will you do? This little story is based on Acts 9:26-27 "And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. "
But what about those believers who had lost loved ones during Saul's havoc?

When Hope is Gone
If life is easy-peezie for you, this is not the podcast for you (unless you want to hear the start of my next book: "Journey of Faith."

What is the Meaning of Life?
It's probably a question we all ask at one time or another. Perhaps the better question is, "Where is your focus?" Our focus adds clarity to the question of life's meaning!

The Hills and Vales of Life
At times, life can be a rollercoaster ride. Mountain highs and living "down in the valley" are a part of every life, but can't we just live on the mountaintop? Why does God send us through those tough times and what are we to learn?
