   Episode 136: Has The Bible Been Rewritten?

   Our regular contributor Sabrina McDonald is back—and once again, she’s answering tough questions, sharing her wisdom, and digging deep into her knowledge of the Bible. In this episode, Larry will ask a few questions, but for the most part, he’s going to try to stay out of Sabrina’s way and, as his grandson James likes to say, “Let her cook!” Has the Bible been rewritten? Has Scripture been changed, altered, or manipulated over the centuries? Can we trust that the Bible we read today accurately reflects the original writings? People change their minds—but does God? Why do Bible skeptics sometimes build their arguments around half-truths or incomplete information? Did the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls help confirm the reliability of Scripture, or did it create even more controversy? And what about the so-called “lost” or “extra” books of the Bible? Were books deliberately removed or excluded—and if so, why? Larry and Sabrina tackle these questions and many more as they examine one of the most important questions a Christian—or a skeptic—can ask: Can we trust that the Bible we have today is the Word of God that was originally given? Whether you’re a lifelong believer, someone struggling with questions, or a skeptic who doubts the reliability of Scripture, this promises to be a full-throttle conversation that will make you think. Bring your questions. Bring your doubts. Bring an open mind. Has the Bible been rewritten? Let’s find out.

   Episode 135: Be Positive: Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life

   Be Positive: Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life Your attitude affects how you see your problems, how you respond to adversity, how you treat the people around you—and ultimately, the direction of your life. In this episode, Larry explores the power of developing a positive attitude. Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring reality, pretending problems don’t exist, or believing life will always be easy. It means learning to face life’s challenges with faith, wisdom, confidence, and the determination to keep moving forward. Drawing from Scripture and lessons learned through years of business and life experience, Larry breaks the process down into six practical principles. What are you allowing into your mind? Who are you surrounding yourself with? What kind of words are you speaking? And when adversity hits, are you looking for an excuse to quit—or an opportunity to grow? You may not be able to control everything happening around you, but you can work on how you respond to it. Change your attitude, and you’ll change your life!

   Episode 134: Balance Your Life

   It’s easy for work to take over and consume your life. In fact, this may be one of the most important episodes I’ve published yet—and I’m serious! As a small business owner who has started several companies, I know firsthand how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing that working harder, longer, and doing everything yourself is the price you have to pay for success. I’ve lived it. In the short term, that workaholic lifestyle can produce results. You work more hours, push harder, make sacrifices, and watch the business grow. But long term, it can become a prescription for disaster—leading to burnout, damaged relationships, declining health, and even stalled business growth. Yes, success requires sacrifice. There are seasons when we have to work harder, stay later, and pay the price to accomplish our goals. But there also comes a point when we have to ask ourselves: What is all this success costing me? Work should be an important part of your life—but it shouldn’t become your entire life. We need to recognize the benefits of creating a healthier balance between our work, family, relationships, health, faith, and personal lives. Because if we don’t take control of our lifestyle, eventually a personal crisis may change our lifestyle for us. In this episode, I share three practical steps that can help you regain control, reset your priorities, and bring some much-needed balance back into your life. Are you controlling your schedule—or is your schedule controlling you? Let’s find out. Balance Your Life.
