Eddie James discusses the significance of Thanksgiving as a time for families to come together in the United States. However, he acknowledges that amidst the busyness and hectic schedules, it can be challenging to truly connect with family members, especially older generations like grandparents.
Eddie emphasizes the importance of taking the time to sit down and listen to the stories and values of grandparents during Thanksgiving. He recalls the cherished “sofa times” of the past when families would gather around and attentively listen to their grandparents share their experiences and wisdom. These moments hold great value as they allow younger generations, such as Eddie’s teenage daughters, to learn about their family’s history and values.
Furthermore, Eddie James acknowledges the obstacles posed by today’s technology-driven world, where teenagers often find themselves engrossed in smartphones and tablets. This constant distraction can hinder genuine listening and engagement in meaningful conversations.
In another segment of the episode, Mike Saunders and Eddie James delve into the concept that the steps of a righteous person are guided by the Lord. They discuss how, at times, it may be challenging to comprehend how various experiences and life choices fit together. However, with time, the bigger picture becomes clearer.
Eddie shares his journey of initially feeling uncertain about pursuing a career as a financial planner or advisor, believing that such roles were beyond his capabilities. Yet, upon reflecting on past experiences, he realized that God had been equipping him with the necessary skills and knowledge, even without his awareness. He mentions that serving in the kingdom and participating in spiritual gifts classes were integral parts of the process that eventually led him to his current profession.
Ultimately, the episode emphasizes the idea that although people may not always comprehend how different experiences and steps in life align, God is guiding and ordering their path. Through reflection and trust, they can begin to see the bigger picture and understand the purpose behind their journey.
Eddie shared: “Shepherding you to an impactful standard of living and standard of giving.”
