Epic Every Day is about transforming each moment from the inside out, creating margin in that moment by using the CSC's. Living in the CSCs is a state of being; being calm, surrendered, centered, connected, and complete. They are an adaptation of Peter Ralston's Tai Chi principles and can also be found all over the Bible. Being in the CSCs can transform each moment into a place of freedom and enough-ness, no matter what your circumstances are.

Submit ReviewIt’s our 160th episode and our final show for a while. We’re talking about what we’ve learned about being complete today after talking about it every Friday for a year. Evan talks about being more willing to take imperfect action and how freeing that is. Liz talks about helpful it is to use her whole self in the current situation. You can always go back and listen to our other episodes! We have enough for you to listen daily (week days) for an entire year.

Are you working hard on ministry but know inside that you’re lonely? There is a way to stay vulnerable and keep reaching out. The CSCs are the way out of that isolation. Today we’re talking about connection, but really, all the CSCs (Calm, Surrender, Centered, Connected, & Complete) give us the ability to be connected to God and others in a healthy way. You don’t want to have to wait 35 years to ever express your feelings, especially if you’re suppressing resentment—that just looks like lashing out in bitterness.

When you are centered, you are freed up to act in spite of the chaos, to shine like a light, to be whatever God designed you to be. Liz talks about her favorite homework that keeps her centered, and Evan talks about how nice it is not not be a social chameleon. It is important to distinguish within yourself the hard-wired things you can’t change and the caught and taught stuff that can and should be changing as you mature.

Surrender is the quickest route to peace—way more effective than squashing emotions. When we try to control our situation, it just ends up getting us stuck at point A instead of getting us closer to point B. It is possible to have much better self-talk through surrender. We don’t want to be double-minded.

You grab onto Calm by letting go, and it just takes a second. This week we are reflecting back on what we’ve learned making the show for an entire year! It used to seem normal to be swept away by overwhelm. It also seemed like staying calm depended on circumstances. Evan & Liz discuss how their thoughts have changed.

In 2 Corinthians, Paul talks about how the troubles of the world are not eternal—how he fixes his eyes on what is unseen because what is seen is temporary. Through prayer, we too can have a real-world perspective.

When God says ‘no’ to our prayers. We’re asking in faith for the best things we know how to ask for, and yet God still says ‘no’ sometimes. Our understanding of good and God’s understanding of good are different, but they should be growing closer together as we grow spiritually.

Despair is disconnect from reality. Your reality is full of hope because you have been created by God for a purpose. Unfortunately, it’s too easy in our culture to get swept away with distraction and get caught up in despair. Try to remember the unseen things like God’s faithfulness because, like we said earlier in the week, hope is invisible.

Hope is anchored on the person of Jesus, not our situation. God is sovereign. Job talks about no plan of God being thwarted. God loves us. Wants the best for us. Works everything for the good of those who love Him. God is holy. He uses His power perfectly and will never take advantage of us.

The instructions are a short-cut to get us where we want to go. But how often do you try to blaze your own trail instead of trusting the designer? Being in scripture will always remind us to remember. If you don’t have a plan and method to remember God’s faithfulness, you’re going to drift.

Lack of hope freezes you in life. Things are overwhelming without hope. This week, we talk about how hope is invisible. It’s tricky because hope requires faith. Without hope, calm is impossible. We can trust that God is working things out now, not just in the future.

Jesus is emotionally available. How often do we avoid going with someone into their emotions? In the story of Lazarus, we see Jesus weeping over His friend and for others’ loss. We are called to take the time to explore our emotions with others—to accept them from others, even when we don’t understand them.

Bitterness, isolation and jadedness are aspects of the darkness getting in the way of our connection with God and others. We’re looking at the stories of Mary and Martha today. In the first story, Martha can only complain about Mary not working with her. In the second story, Martha is looking for a connection with Jesus over the death of her brother.

Our culture values the “you deserve it” and “watch out for #1” attitude. Of course, this kills relationships. Therefore, selflessness gets noticed because it’s very unusual. Christianity is the only religion we’ve found that balances love of God, self, and others. Discipline is a great way to combat selfish tendencies.

Our need for grace and a savior never changes, no matter how much we change in our spiritual development. The darkness in the way of surrender is pride, independence, & individuality. These three areas are a lie—a mask across reality. Being a light-bearer in the arena of surrender is going to stir up pain. The light we need here is humility, dependence, and vulnerability.

Your ministry is to shed light in a dark world. The darkness takes many forms. The darkness that steals your calm is busyness and feelings of overwhelm. We live in a loud world, so using quiet in your ministry may be a path to peace. It’s certainly counter cultural! We look at examples from Jesus’ ministry when He was able to remain calm in stressful situations.

God will push us beyond our comfort zone, but He will never push you to not be yourself. We look at the story of Naomi and Ruth today as an example of quiet but powerful leadership. In the body of believers, God will push you to change, but you will never grow out of being an “eye” or a “toe” or whatever your calling is.

Every leader has volunteered to put aside their own personal safety and agenda for someone else’s benefit. Powerful examples include parents, pastors, scout leaders, and coaches. It’s no cake walk. It’s important for every Christian to realize they are leaders, whether they want to be or not. And if we spend our energy trying to avoid suffering, we will not be an effective leader.

Being a leader is the call of every Christian. But when we take our eyes off Jesus and get distracted, we make our lives difficult and lose calm. Unfortunately, stress is contagious. Fortunately, calm is contagious too—like Jesus when he was sleeping in the boat during the storm.

“The degree of our faithfulness is a direct result of our regard for God’s faithfulness” ~ Beth Moore. Faith is about your actions, not your feelings. God’s desire for you is to develop into your best self—the person He designed you to become. His desire for you is to lack nothing like it says in James 1:2-8.

There is room, even in prayer, for doubt. Our attitude when we come to God is important. We can come to break down or build-up our connection to God. Greater faith goes through a process of filtering out doubts through investigation and prayer. So be encouraged in your doubts; if you come honestly to God with them, He will sort them out and your faith will grow. We discuss James 5:1-8 and John 20:24-31.

We read in James 1 that the way to ‘lacking nothing’ is by asking for wisdom. Does that make any sense to you? What we are asking God for shows us what’s in our hearts. Are you using prayer to attempt to change circumstances or to mature in faith? Liz shares about how once God changed her ‘be,’ she was able to be calm for the first time in her life despite similar circumstances.

Do you dare ask God for the things you want or need? What if He says ‘no’? But Jesus says we have not because we ask not. What would it take for you to ask God for anything in faith? We discuss James 1:5-8 again as well as James 1:16-18. The James passage talks bout God as the father of lights, giving every good thing his children. When we understand God’s character, we are freer to ask Him for the good things He wants to give us.

Stress is an indicator of a lack of faith. Too harsh? Just ask yourself the question, “Do I trust God in [insert thing you’re stressed about]?” Your answer may surprise you. We’re not called to blind faith. We have many examples of God’s faithfulness to observe and base our faith on. This should eliminate doubt. We discuss James 1:5-8 and Mark 9: “I do believe, help my unbelief!”

“What’s so important in His sight that is has to be done this way?” Ever ask yourself that? Everyone in the stories we’re discussing today is wondering the same thing. Why did God set up the world to work this way? Sometimes it makes no sense to us. Two powerful illustrations as to why meekness is more powerful than evil are The Book of the Dun Cow by Walter Wangerin, Jr, & A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L’Engle.

We’re talking about or favorite literature this week. Today Evan shares a couple Jack Gilbert poems and Liz reads some Frances Hodgson Burnett. We love fiction because, in a way, all communication is fiction. We cannot communicate the truth like God can because of our limited understanding. Art, poetry, and fiction often get us closer to the truth than attempting to speak about the issue head on.

Have you ever attempted to slog thorough your emotional baggage—the hangups and hurts from when you were younger? Maybe you’ve put off doing this because you figured time itself would sort it out? But time does not heal all wounds. Putting off this important work actually causes a division within yourself—you become a fragmented person. Today Evan and Liz talk about how to begin putting those fragments back together.

Development is always part of the plan. A baby can’t stay a baby; it grows into an adult. Likewise, your spiritual muscles need a workout and discomfort to grow strong. Self-discipline leads to a better life. It’s too easy to be constantly low-level discontent but doing nothing to change your situation. God wants more from and for us than that.

Frantic, panicky energy feels productive and easy sometimes, but it’s really just setting you up for a more difficult time later. If you can engage in calm during the storm, the task at hand will be less difficult as will future repercussions. Everything you do has an opportunity-cost and, in that way, everything you do is hard. Don’t get stuck in the trap of doing what seems easy in the short-term only to have a more difficult task later.

The story of the prodigal son should be renamed “Two Lost Brothers.” The sin of the older brother is his refusal to hit bottom and accept his father’s ways. Hitting bottom solves self-fragmentation, worry, and regret. It’s also a reality check. Growth and change get us through life’s problems. When we stop growing, we stop being able to deal with problems.

It’s time to put the shovel down and admit you’ve hit bottom! Come out of the pig pen. It’s time to accept reality: you still need God’s grace. When we refuse to hit bottom, we refuse to see ourselves in the light of truth. We also accumulate a backlog of emotional compound interest, and we’re just not made to handle that.

“The whole wave knocks you over, the spray just gets you wet” ~ Tai Chi proverb. Today we’re talking about how fragmentation takes away your power and compartmentalization is really hypocrisy. However, there are lots of powerful ways to break out of the cycle of inauthenticity and we go over a few on today’s show.

Through faith we’re plugged into God, and this is where we get our power. It’s like an electric plug—if there’s something in between the plug and the outlet, no power is getting through. Or it’s like how movement works. Every movement action requires force from the earth—every step forward, every time you lift your groceries, every time you stand up from your desk, etc., etc., is impossible without the earth there to push off of. Our spiritual lives work the same way.

Have you ever prayed something like this: “How do you see me God? What’s really going on?” Liz says, “God made you you for a reason. Every moment you spend trying to be someone else is a wasted moment.” The best version of you is you fulfilling God’s plan for you life.

We discuss the spiritual application of the Tai Chi principle of relaxation. This involves the scary idea of letting go of control, of surrender. There are lots of ways to surrender, but one easy way is to picture the things you struggle to release as being held with an open hand. This is a true representation of these things because we don’t really control the outcomes.

Calm is not emotional suppression. It’s about having a way out of anxiety when it comes up—because anxiety is part of life. Anxiety comes when we’re unsure about the future, when we get too busy, and when those around us sin (we live in a broken world). So calm is a method to move through the anxiety into freedom, abundance, and peace—which is part of our birthright as children of God.

Who are we to think we’ll ever be done growing? This is how we act though, isn't it? We wait around for some stability to or some point where we’re just resting, but this is an unreal fantasy future. Today we talk about being complete in God’s gentleness, and share a powerful story from Beth Moore about brushing a huge knot out of her daughter’s hair.

We tend too be thin-skinned. We think getting our feelings hurt is harm—that we’re being damaged. Christians need to distinguish the difference between hurt hand harm. When we approach others without gentleness, the pain we can cause may turn into harm. But God in His grace has the power to heal and redeem hurts as well as harms.

Humiliation is really shame, but unfortunately some Christian groups tend to think of it as synonymous with humility. There’s no room in the Church for anyone to have to eat humble pie. Real humility is having a correct view of yourself—not putting self down or getting lost in shame. True humility is a guard against humiliation.

“What’s so important in His sight that is needs to be done this way?” This is one of Evan’s favorite quotes and it’s all about surrender to God’s plan. Today we’re talking about gentleness. Do you trust God to be gentle? We never fully understand the plan, so this takes a lot of surrender and faith.

Anger is a warning light on the dashboard of our emotional cars. We tend to respond in one of two ways: ignore it, or rage about it. Both are destructive and an attempt to control outcomes. Both feel like they give us power but don’t. Gentleness the true path to deal with anger. Gentleness neither ignores the issue or exaggerates. God in His gentleness is our example.

Jesus says the truth shall set you free, not niceness. God, our perfect father, has a more long-term growth plan designed for us, full of goodness and grace. Things like reproof, correction, and teaching are the tools He uses in His good way to change us. We wrap up our week on goodness talking about the importance of self-examination when God’s goodness feels like hurt.

Goodness, in the biblical sense, is often unpopular. It’s constantly pushing for growth and change. It’s a light exposing things about ourselves we don’t like. There is an edge to goodness that is opposed to the high cultural values of the rugged individual and group identity. When we cross these lines in goodness, sparks can fly, but it’s important to push through for the sake of healthy relationship.

What does it look like to want what’s really good for another person? To act in a good way toward them? Part of it is laying down your desire to be right all the time and picking up a desire for them to be right—as in right in line with God’s design—what’s best for them. We also discuss how being nice is not something the Bible teaches.

Goodness in action sometimes feels bad, because it may be rebuke or a correction of some kind; we need to change and God’s goal is to help us change and grow. The things we’re really after in life, like peace and abundance, comes from discipline which grows out of God’s goodness, things like God getting us back on track.

When God is good to us, we change. We grow. When we’re good to each other, it causes growth and change too. Eph 2:10 says God has created good works for you to do in your life, so what are those good works? How do you choose what do to? What about building margin into your life? What does a brick day look like for you?

Waiting is hard because we’re also designed for glory—we catch glimpses of the way it should be and get heartsick having to wait. We struggle so much in the meantime—but if there wasn’t a “meantime” to struggle/pray/worship God, it would not be as full of a life. Patience is the difference between choosing to wait well and being stressed and anxious and in a hurry all the time.

Part of the definition of patience is having the power to act but refraining from doing so. This is a skill we all need to learn.

Have you ever said to yourself, “Why am I not learning patience quickly enough!?” It’s hard to be gentle with ourselves. We’re often our harshest critic. But we don’t have to do that to ourselves. God is all about giving us room to grow, to practice patience. After all, if God just granted our prayers as soon as we prayed them, we wouldn't need patience.

You’re going to be waiting, but will you be patient or not? Waiting often leads us to ask “why?”: Why is this not happening faster? Why did that delay or hang-up happen to me? We need to surrender and have faith like in the song It is Well With My Soul where it says “when my faith shall be sight.” God has given us a way to learn to trust and be patient. We get there through prayer.

It’s almost impossible to slow down and be still—let alone be patient with the process. We demand fast computers, phones, and transportation. There’s very little time built into our culture where we’re OK with waiting. Though waiting happens, patience is not automatic, it’s part of the fruit of the Spirit that must be cultivated in our lives.

There’s also a lot of forgiveness work we need to do between us and God, and also between us and our community. This all takes pushing into discomfort, but the benefits are out of this world!

Forgiveness and reconciliation are different, but a lot of Christians tend to think of them as the same thing. Forgiveness is something you can do by yourself in your heart, but reconciliation requires cooperation from the other person. Forgiveness is mandatory for Christians, reconciliation is a command as well, but we can only do our part.

Minimization is another huge enemy of true forgiveness and grace. But we do it because we can’t face the pain of owning our sin—whether it’s against God or others. Fear of strong emotions also drive us to minimization. Who wants to admit they’re depressed or an angry person? But God can take all of this and fold it into His work on the cross.

Do you feel comforted or angry knowing God commands us to forgive others or we won’t be forgiven ourselves? This is so key to our faith, we don’t want to end up like the pharisees, thinking there is nothing wrong. Once we understand the depth of our sin and the completeness of God’s work on the cross, we have no reason not to forgive others.

It takes faith to get our mind out of the cultural spirit of the age and into the real world—the reality God is part of. There are lies about nearly everything trying to take us down. But the Bible gives us tools to practice discernment. Some are listed in James 5:13-16. EFT is also a good way to reprogram our subconscious with what we know to be true.

Love means letting go, right? Letting them choose their path. God even does this for us. He could force us to obey Him, but He doesn't. It’s hard to apply this in our own lives though. We want those we love to make good choices and so sometimes it just seems easier to try to force them. We’re talking about how love is not control today.

Evan and Liz Frerichs discuss this balance and how to strive for spiritual growth without forsaking our hardwiring. We’re still discussing the fruit of the Spirit: Self-Control. Join us!

Who loves conflict? We all probably dread it to some extent, but when we center our life around avoidance of conflict, trying to soften everything, we become a ghost with no impact on anything. This is the obvious opposite of self-control and today Evan & Liz Frerichs are talking about the importance of assertiveness and self control which is a fruit of the spirit for Christians.

What is self-control? Is it just beating the flesh into submission? Christians tend to think this is what it means; that we’ve got to attack our fleshly desires head on. Evan & Liz believe it’s more about nurturing the spirit. Christian self-control is about putting aside our will and taking on the Holy Spirit’s will.

Brene Brown says Serpentining is what we do to avoid POTENTIAL shame and hurt. We all do this either through procrastination, falsely positive emotions, or distractions from stress of life. We all know life is stressful and full of problems, but after we’ve avoided our problems for a little while, it’s amazing to see that the problems are still there after we finish our evasive actions.

There’s a difference between putting your toe over the line & dashing across it. It is possible to use vulnerability as a shield against healthy relationships. You’re the only one who can tell if you’re sharing to foster or repel relationship. Evan & Liz Frerichs continue their conversation about Brene Brown’s Vulnerability Armor from her book Daring Greatly.

Trapped in Woulda, shoulda, coulda… Whether you’re trying to be perfect or just not mess up at all, no one can maintain that level of performance! The pressure on yourself is another kind of vulnerability armor we use to shield ourselves from shame & judgment. We need to realize that the standard of perfection is subjective, so even if you always please yourself, others may still deal out judgment.

If there ever was an activity where the all-important key to understanding it is to ‘know thyself,’ it’s this one. Today we’re talking about the things we do to take the edge off. There are a thousand different ways, like TV, candy, alcohol, tobacco, business, gossip, or news just to name a few. Any of these can conceivably be just fine, but we know, if we look hard, if our heart is looking for self-care or an escape.

What do you think about when you hear the word “vulnerable”? Weakness? All week we’re going to talk about what Brené Brown calls vulnerability armor—the methods we use to avoid vulnerability. Today we’re talking about foreboding joy, i.e. rehearsing tragedy and perpetual disappointment.
