The Morning Cruise Replay - Making The Connection

Carmen's gonna feel like she has a missed connection once football season is done. She had a bit of that feeling over the weekend even though the Pro Bowl was on.  She may use the downtime with the football off-season to reconnect with The Chosen. Many made their way to the movie theatres as Season 4 of The Chosen was shown on the big screens nationwide.  Connecting with each other through service is an important part of our relationships with each other and the Lord as Bill reminds us with Galatians 5:13.  Bill tried to do a new game with his Mental Madness Monday but Dave and Carmen were more interested in connecting over their love of sports. When he did get around to playing the game, he wanted Carmen and Dave to intentionally miss the connection when they filled in the blank.  Carmen spent this Sunday connecting with others at the new campus of her church and related to that the message was on relationships. One surprising statistic that Pastor Aaron Burke was on the divorce statistics for couples that pray together.  20 years ago, people started connecting with each other on Facebook. Dave shared some news articles from the early days of the social media platform. And you can connect with us on Facebook and Instagram.  It's that time of year again...FriendRaiser 2024 is right around the corner!  Bill and his wife went to Willa's 1-year-old birthday party this weekend and he missed the opportunity to see the birthday girl as he had the time of the party wrong.  With it being the Super Bowl this week, Carmen shared one of her favorite recipes for the big game. And then quickly made the connection with a certain pill she takes to help after that meal.  And since she was thinking about  cheese, she was curious to find out about a new interest in rotary cheese graters.  00:32 The Drought Before The Bowl  03:20 The Chosen: Season 4 in theatres this past weekend  06:26 Serve One Another (Galatians 5:13)  08:00 The Chosen: Season 4 - #2 at the box office  09:34 Mental Madness Monday - Fail!  11:41 Mental Madness Monday  14:31 Opening Sunday and relationship teaching  20:57 Divorce stats for praying couples  24:10 Facebook's 20th Anniversary  30:34 Connect with us on socials  31:30 FriendRaiser time once again  35:51 Bill at Willa's Birthday Party  38:35 Buffalo Dip and Poop Pills  42:17 New Cheese Grater?  44:29 Bill's BIG Word

The Morning Cruise Replay - All Is Not Lost

It's the last day of January but all is not lost! Carmen reminded us that even though the first month of 2024 is done, there is an opportunity for a reset and you can always pick up the Bible and read again as it does not change!  Dave's train of thought might have gotten lost for a second but he did manage to tell us that one of his granddaughters just lost her first tooth!  Bill's youngest son celebrated his birthday yesterday and received all sorts of gift cards. Now he just has to make sure he doesn't lose them.  Feeling like you're in a season of loss and a bit of a "tear down"? Paige Brown addressed that in last week's session of her Bible study on Daniel.  For decades, Amelia Earhart and her plane have been lost. But some explorers think they found the plane deep in the ocean.  With the colder weather today, it was not lost on Dave that today is National Hot Chocolate Day.  Carmen is on the hunt for a no-bake protein energy ball recipe. Some of the responses were sweeter than she was looking for. Dave, on the other hand, wants the sugar in the form of a brownie from Jimmy John's.  If you had resolved to conquer a particular sin in 2024 but have already given in, Bill has a post from The Gospel Coaltion on what to do "When You Can't Conquer Sin by January 31st".  And if you are feeling lost, prayer is the best way to get back on track. Carmen shared some thoughts from Pastor Aaron Burke on his recent sermon series on prayer.  00:32 Last Day of January - Reset  05:34 Books don't change  07:52 Emmie loses first tooth  11:27 Payton's gift card birthday  13:42 Paige Brown - Daniel "tear down"  17:32 The gospel - we aren't a "tear down"  21:06 Amelia Earhart's plane found?  26:10 National Hot Chocolate Day  28:34 No-Bake Protein Energy Balls Recipe?  33:26 Responses and Jimmy John's Brownie  36:18 When You Can't Conquer Sin by January 31st  40:34 Trust in Jesus Work, not ours 43:45 Bill's BIG Word

Prayer Points on The Lord's Prayer

Carmen shared some instructional points on The Lord's Prayer from Pastor Aaron Burke of Radiant Church in Tampa. 

The Morning Cruise Replay - Time Will Tell

As Jules watches her daughters grow, she can tell that the time with them is fleeting but she's doing her best to make memories with her family. That includes playing dodgeball with Nana, homecoming dances, and learning from them as well.  These times we are living in can certainly be a cause for fear. But Carmen shared some thoughts from Pastor Aaron Burke's message on a Freedom From Fear.  Remember that time when dad drove the car through a pedestrian zone in Munich? That'll be a story that one family will tell throughout time as their video went viral.  When Dave's got one of his sons in town around Thanksgiving, they are planning some time to spend at Epcot. And it's been some time since Dave and Bill have been to the theme park. But you can tell when it will rain, even if you don't have a meteorology degree.  As Carmen spent some time in her own Bible study, she shared how "Jesus answered his thoughts". Bill followed that up with a chat about hard places and family history.  And speaking of family, Bill let a little too much time pass to celebrate his son's birthday!  Is it time to start decorating for Christmas?  It's been quite some time since the Beatles released a song, but thanks to technology they have a new song coming out.  Monday morning signals the start of T-Shirts For Turkeys time!    00:32 Jules - Dodgeball  03:03 Jules - homecoming  05:34 Jules - lessons from kids  08:28 Carmen - Fear sermon  13:25 Family drives in pedestrian zone  16:32 Kids and storms at theme parks  20:13 Jesus answered his thoughts  25:36 Hard places and family history  28:09 Grady's missed birthday 31:01 Christmas creep decorating  35:56 New Beatles Song  41:35 T-Shirts on Monday Morning  45:04 Bill's BIG Word

The Morning Cruise Replay - Go! Go! Go!

Today is the last day before Sharathon tomorrow and we asked for your help to get the momentum going today. You came through in a big way!  Dave also told us how he lost sleep as he was watching college football late Saturday night.  Bill's son couldn't go very far with a broken down vehicle on the side of the road but that didn't stop them from watching NFL football yesterday.  Carmen shared from Paige Brown's latest message from her Fall 2023 Bible Study on Jonah.  Bill can't go up north right now (with Sharathon starting and all...) but that isn't stopping him from checking out fall foliage cameras!  How much do you think a Bob Ross painting would go for at auction? You might be surprised to hear just how much the first painting from his show is going for!  If you've got a dysfunction or two that you would like to see go, Carmen recommends the message she heard yesterday from Pastor Aaron Burke on Defeating Your Dysfunction.  Bill shared how his pastor spoke on marriage yesterday and he also shared a blog post from The Gospel Coalition on 5 Bad Reasons To Get A Divorce.  00:32 Last Day before tomorrow!  04:08 Momentum  07:27 Dave stayed up late for Colorado football  10:46 Bill on I-75/ Shaq Barrett  14:10 Sharathon pre-giving 17:28 How To Pre-give  18:27 Jonah clip from Paige Brown  21:17 Sharathon warnings  25:30 Fall foliage cameras  28:43 Bob Ross painting at auction  33:08 Pre-giving update  36:46 Defeating Your Dysfunction  40:13 5 Bad Reasons To Get A Divorce  44:03 Sharathon pre-giving totals  46:24 Bill's BIG Word

The Morning Cruise Replay - Discerning Tastes

After re-sharing our conversation with Pastor Aaron Burke on his book, The Unfair Advantage, the show was focused on taste and discernment.  Dave found out about a job as a taste tester for Buc-ee's. Bill told us about a one-of-a-kind giraffe that was born without the spots they are known for. There is a naming contest and Bill's suggestion for a name isn't quite what the zoo staff was discerning.  Speaking of discerning, Carmen and her Bible study group have started with Discerning The Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer and she shared a bit about what was said in regards to obedience.  If you're a longtime listener of The JOY FM or brand new and just starting to get a taste of what we are about, you can help us shine a light with Sharathon this year.  Fashion tastes were a big focus towards the end of the show as Dave brought in the hat he bought that was not what he was expecting. Bill continued the discussion on men's fashion with ties. And Carmen shared her thoughts on jeans for all body types. Bill capped off the fashion talk with his BIG Word of the Day.  00:32 Buc-ee's Taste Tester Job  04:32 Spot-less Giraffe 06:59 Discerning The Voice of God  12:07 Obedience  16:42 Sharathon - You Can Shine A Light  20:49 Dave's hat  23:48 Ties and other fashion  28:30 Jeans for all body types  33:20 Bill's BIG Word
