    Coffee with Phil

    CWP.8. Storms Are Preparation.

    Life truly throws us challenges, doesn’t it? Life can sometimes feel like a storm. In this podcast I want you to hear me say, “storms in life are preparation for something!” You are being prepared for your future, and the future is good.

    At the beginning of this podcast you’ll hear me explain how this audio impacted me 12 months after it was recorded. And here we are, another 12 months on, and it’s impacting me again. I hope this message impacts you in a positive way.

    This episode of Coffee With Phil includes a recording of a message I spoke at Zion and you can hear me referring to an image I’m drawing while I’m speaking. If you know me well, you’ll know that I often teach and/or speak using images. While you can’t see that image, you will clearly get the message as I share it. there are may bible references in this message. Don’t let that put you off – often the bible speaks to us in ways we need to hear. So, stay listening and grab the gold that’s in this episode.

    If something in this message strikes you and you want to chat, reach out to me via this website of my Facebook page, Phil Strong – Author.

    Coffee with Phil – an interview with Mary Wanhill

    CWP.7. Live Life Wide Open.

    When you race a motocross bike you want to have the throttle “wide open” as much as you can.  That’s because you want to be the fastest in order to win.  But what about when your life shifts?  What does it mean to live life “wide open”?

    Mary Wanhill and her husband Joel lead an organisation called Youth Encounter, where they invest in young people to help them discover who they are and how to succeed.  As Mary says, “When you try and uncover the gold in someone they don’t mind when you remove some of the dirt.”

    Before Mary worked with youth she had a career racing dirt bikes and then as an international athlete completing massive jumps and tricks in the air while on her bike.  No wonder they called her “Scary Mary”!

    Enjoy this interview with Mary – her stories are bound to encourage you.
