THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST
THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST “This Is The Life” is an authentic blend of storytelling, songwriting, devotion, and front-porch wisdom for the Lord. Rooted in family, faith, and the sacred beauty of everyday moments, This Is The Life captures the art of slowing down, listening deeply, and finding God’s fingerprints in the ordinary. It is a brand built on legacy moments, where songs become memories, podcasts become conversations, and devotionals become lifelines. Whether through heartfelt lyrics, reflective Bible studies, children’s stories inspired by the grandkids, or acoustic-soul melodies shaped by a lifetime of experiences, This Is The Life reminds people that a meaningful life isn’t found in the rush, but in the moments we choose to cherish. It is the celebration of love, family, Grace, and the beauty of simply embracing every moment. Be Blessed Eddie

2 Corinthians 12:8-10
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for C...
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble…”
There are moments in life when we look back and honestly wonder how we made it through some things.
Seasons where the weight felt so heavy, the nights were long, and the road...
“Live Like You’re Restored”
Galatians 5:25
“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
As we come to the final part of this series, maybe the biggest lesson we’ve learned is this: God never restores us just so we can go back to living the same way we always have. He restores us so we can live differently.
“Guarding What God Restored”
One of the most important lessons we learn in our walk with the the Lord is this:
Not everything that is restored automatically stays strong.
Some things must be guarded.
The someone returns they find mercy, restoration, identity, and peace again.
But there always comes a season where they must learn how to protect what God has rebuilt inside them.
Because the enemy will alw...
“Embrace Your Identity”
One of the hardest things for many people to do after returning to the Lord is learning to stop seeing yourself through the eyes of your past.
Many people come home to God, they’re able to remain faithful, but still carry the mindset of the far country or the life they left behind. But if you still see yourself like that then you really haven’t left it all the way behind.
Many sti...
“The Voice Inside”
John 10:27
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”
After you’ve made your way back home and you’ve started learning to stay, something begins to happen on the inside. It may not be loud. It may not be sudden. But it is very real.
You begin to recognize a different voice. The voices up to this point have been trying to lead you astray, further from the Father, fu...
“Learning To Stay”
Last week the Lord spoke to us about coming back to him.
That moment when everything starts to become clear again.
When grace meets you right where you are… when you feel the weight of life begin to lift and the peace return.
But after the return, a question starts to settle in:
“What’s next for me?”
The answer is simple—but not always easy:
John 15:4
“Abide in me, and I in you. As t...
“There Will Be A Celebration”
Luke 15:22-23
“But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:”
By the time the son made his way back home, he had already prepared himself for less. Less position. Less privilege. Less identity. In his mind, he wasn’...
“You Will Face Resistance”
Luke 15:25-28
25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
28 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore...
“Some Things Will Never Be The Same”
Luke 15:17
“And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!”
There’s a turning point in this story that doesn’t get much attention, but it sure gets deep, that is the fact that “ he came to himself.”
That moment didn’t just change his direction… it changed him. It had to be his choice....
“Some Things Will Never Change”
Luke 15:17-20
There comes a moment in a person’s life when the chaos of our choices settles down just enough for truth to be heard again.
In Luke 15, the prodigal son had reached such a moment,
Luke 15:17-20
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my fa...
2 Timothy 1:5
“When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.”
To me, there’s something very powerful about memories.
Not just recalling moments, but truly feeling the emotion of where you came from, who poured their lives into you, who prayed over you, and believed in you before you even...
Proverbs 4:25-26
“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.”
These verse this morning reminds us that the direction of our life is often determined by the what we choose to focus on.
Where our eyes settle… our mind begins to follow. And where our mind goes… our steps are not far behind.
The Psalmist say...
As we approach six years of This Is The Life Podcast this coming June, it still feels a lot like sitting on that front porch, looking back at where the Lord has brought us from, and quietly listening for where He’s leading us next.
What started as a simple step of faith has become something far greater than we could have ever planned.
And yet, it still carries that same purpose...
God has a way of opening doors at just the right time. Not our time, but His.
And when He does, it is not by accident or coincidence. It is intentional, prepared, and placed right where you are at the moment. The key is learning to recognize when that open door is from the Lord and not a distraction trying to pull you away from your purpose.
Now there are seasons in all of our lives when it feels like nothing is mo...
John 13:34–35
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”
There is defining moment here when Jesus said these words.
He did not say the world would know we belong to Him by our titles, our talents, our knowledge, how much we Praise , pray, or ...
Romans 8:16–18
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
There’s something deeply reassuring ab...
We talked last week about Romans 8:28 and how God is working in the middle of our pain, confusion, heartache, and even our failures. God showed us that even the hard places of life are never wasted in His hands.
Every wrong turn can become wisdom. Every valley can grow strength. Every scar can become a testimony that helps someone else keep from falling in the same area of life.
That verse reminds us that G...
Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
There are some seasons in life that do not make sense while we are living through them.
Some days feel like the road turns without warning to a place we never wanted to be.
We begin to question things, our minds wrestle with confusion, and we wonder why thin...
