Hi, we’re Ryan and Beth, followers of Jesus, just like you. We just happen to be on the radio and we’re doing life with you in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. It’s a great place to live…yeah, sure, ya betcha!
Ryan is married with seven kids. Beth is single and has a dog. We’re two very different people, just on the same path to be more like Jesus. We invite you to come along!
Burning Question:
When did honesty get you into trouble?
Morning Devotional:
Yesterday afternoon was absolutely crazy! I was rushing around but getting nothing done while people were wanting me to get things done. My phone was ringing, my dog Abbie was demanding my attention and my to-do list was getting longer and longer. I finally had to say enough is enough!
I forced myself to stop for five minutes. No music, no talking, no tasks whatsoever – just five minutes of silence. In that short bit of time, something changed. It wasn’t my to-do list. It was my perspective.
In 1 Kings 19, Elijah looked for God in a great wind, an earthquake, and a fire, but God wasn’t there. God was in the still, small voice. Those five minutes of silence allowed me to hear His voice again, which was exactly what I needed.
Our lives get busy and loud. We can’t always discern what God is saying or stop the chaos around us, but we can always find His peace in it.
– Beth
