The Daren Streblow Comedy Show Mini-Cast 100: Running Kids, Bob Smiley & Bob Stromberg Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Experts say that today’s youth do not get enough exercise, but I disagree… vehemently!  I have three boys and all they do is run.  They just sprint.  They never walk anywhere.  They never learned how.  We’ve tried to work with them for years, just teaching them to walk in a way that isn’t destructive. “Walk firmly, in a straight line.  Allow time for braking.  Assume five feet of braking time for each mile-per-hour that you are striding.  Double that on a slippery surface. Instead, they go from... Read more

Imagine a path that no one walks through. Without the clearing caused by traffic, all places are equal. But, as one person, then another, then several hundred more walk along the path, then they become worked into the forest itself and eventually become a fixed place where traffic moves through. The same can be said about our beliefs, habits and experiences. These patterns become like paths in our brains that we naturally “walk down” and naturally behave accordingly. Another example:... Read more

Reflections of Grace 90: Life Purpose Coaching - When the Enemy Attacks Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
The room was very dark as the movie played on a huge screen right in front of my face.  I had never watched the Lord of the Rings series, and since my ankle hurt that day, I decided to ride the bike in the gym’s movie room instead of the treadmill in another area of the gym. I fumbled in the dark and felt my way to just the right bike for me and because I couldn’t see, just... Read more

Blending Your StepFamily 56: Intimacy with Christ Helps With Relationships [ 8:41 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Relationships can be difficult. If they were easy, we wouldn’t have broken families, divorces, broken hearts, misunderstandings, lack of forgiveness and bitterness, and the list could go on. But relationships are also a gift, it would be a lonely world without them. A key I have found to successful relationships is intimacy with Christ. Through intimacy with our Creator we can learn so much. What is intimacy with Christ? It’s getting to know Him through pursuing a relationship with... Read more

The Daren Streblow Comedy Show Mini-Cast 99: Daren Is Sensitive, Matt Falk & John Branyan Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Women are often reported as wishing that their significant other were more sensitive. They want someone who will enjoy the latest Nicholas Sparks movie with them without complaining that no one is getting beat up, there are no explosions nor any robots… or exploding robots getting beat up! Yet, despite his affinity for superheroes, I am actually the sensitive type. For instance, while recently taking in a subtitled Japanese Anime feature, I found myself getting emotionally choked up; which... Read more

4:00 am is a really interesting time of day.  It’s at that hour where creative people like Richard Everett start getting some really interesting ideas.  But, by 9:00 in the morning, Richard looks back at what he had previously thought were strokes of genius  and wonders, “What the hell was that??”  But, as his grandfather used to tell him, while ideas that come in the middle of the night shouldn’t be trusted, there still may be something there of value. The truth is... Read more

From the UK Mirror: Every relationship has its ups and downs, but none more so than Linda does because she is married to a seventy-ton roller coaster named Bruce. Now, this is Britain, remember, so I’m not sure whether or not they started out on a first-name basis when they began dating.  Perhaps she was a proper lady and addressed him as Mr. Curly-tracks. Linda, who is 56, fell in love with the 70-foot tall Bruce 26 years ago, when... Read more

Have you ever suffered from burn out?    I have and when I was in the middle of it I didn’t know what was going on…until I talked with a friend, who happens to be a  therapist, and she said it sounded like I was suffering burn-out. I felt like everything was the same as always, but, in actuality I had been experiencing major blows of loss, emotionally, in my personal life… family, and disappointments and lack…that just kept happening with... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. One “script” of pornography is that “All women want sex from men”. Ask any woman… well, maybe not ANY woman… make sure it’s someone you have a safe relationship with. But almost any woman would tell you that this simply isn’t true. Yet, one of the messages that porn sends is that women are simply on standby, simply waiting for any man to ask them to have sex.... Read more
