In this podcast episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Barb Raveling, author of The Renewing of the Mind Project.

Whenever we talk about managing our times in more effective ways – ways that bring glory to God – we are talking about more than simply behavior changes.

Changing behaviors and habits starts with changing our thought patterns. And Barb is an expert at what scripture says (and doesn’t say) about how to go about that process.

Dealing with procrastination is often a highly individualized endeavor. Everyone procrastinates for different reasons; everyone finds victory with slightly different solutions.

Today, I get a little deeper into some of these more personalized issues, answering some questions sent in to me.

These questions were based off of my new (and free) ebook, Your Procrastination Solution – which I encourage you to download if you haven’t already.

I had the honor of speaking in this episode with Dr. Don Whitney, author of the recently revised Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life – an accessible yet deeply edifying book on bible study, prayer, fasting, fellowship, worship, and much more.

Dr. Whitney is a man that doesn’t need much of an introduction. He is a leading expert on the biblical basis and practice of the spiritual disciplines – and his Spiritual Disciplines book is a classic that is heartily recommended by every Christian leader and teacher I’ve heard.

Take a listen to this episode to hear Dr. Whitney’s wisdom on incorporating the spiritual disciplines into our busy lives in an authentic and powerful way – and how to avoid many of the errors of thought or action that many experience with the disciplines.

In the first chapter of James, we’re promised that God will give us wisdom when we ask. Not only that, but we are commanded to pray for wisdom.

This isn’t just wisdom to make the major decisions of our lives, but wisdom to handle even the seemingly insignificant situations.

In this podcast episode, I talk about this promise from God – as well as about the connection between wisdom and time management that is all throughout scripture.
