Episode 79 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 5 - Living One Day At A Time Episode 79 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 5 - Living One Day At A Time Are you living in yesterday’s regret… or tomorrow’s anxiety? In Part 5 of our Serenity Prayer series, we explore two powerful phrases: “Living one day at a time. Enjoying one moment at a time.” Many pastors and ministry leaders struggle with replaying conversations from the past or rehearsing fears about the future. Shame and insecurity quietly shape how we lead, speak, and show up in relationships. In this episode, we imagine the same pastor in three different mental locations: • Living in the past • Living in the future • Living fully in the present We unpack how worship and prayer realign the heart, expose hidden idols, and restore peace. When we seek God’s face, shame loses authority. Fear loosens its grip. And clarity returns. Scripture anchors this conversation in: Isaiah 43:18–19, Matthew 6:34 and Psalm 118:24 If you are tired of spiraling thoughts, insecurity, or mental over-rehearsing, this episode will gently guide you back to what matters most — today.  🎶 At the end of the episode, Jon invites listeners to enter into worship through the new Stone and Mercy album, Greater Still, available wherever you stream music under “Crashing Lyrics.”

Episode 78 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 4 + Original Worship Experience with Stone & Mercy Episode 78 - The Serenity Prayer | Part 4 + Original Worship Experience with Stone & Mercy In Part 4 of our Serenity Prayer series, we focus on one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — lines: “…and the wisdom to know the difference.” As pastors, many of us are wired to fix things. We carry responsibility. We step into chaos. We try to help. But what happens when we confuse what is ours to do with what only God can do? - In this episode, we talk about discernment born from closeness to Christ. - About the sin of omission. - About fear, comfort, insecurity, and self-deception. - And about how wisdom comes not from trying harder — but from staying nearer. God will not do what He has clearly given us the power and responsibility to do. And we cannot do what only He can accomplish. We end this episode differently — with an invitation into extended worship. If you’d like to stay and sit with the Lord, the final 25 minutes include music from the Stone & Mercy album, created as a space for reflection, surrender, and listening. You can listen, pray, or simply be still. Sometimes wisdom begins in silence.
