        <description>Living well requires wisdom. When we are young, we rely on the wisdom of our parents, but as we grow older and take on more responsibility, we need wisdom of our own. That is why we choose to discuss ways to align ourselves with Biblical wisdom that will allow us to flourish as God intended. On the Sage Reverie podcast, we seek sage wisdom in holy reverie and have some fun along the way.</description>

Join us as we explore the intersection of faith, politics, and responsibility.</p>
<p>In this episode, we discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li>️ <strong>Is Voting a Christian Duty?</strong>: Should Christians feel obligated to vote, or is it simply a civic privilege?</li>
<li> <strong>What Did Jesus Say?</strong>: How Jesus' life and teachings inform our involvement in politics (or lack thereof).</li>
<li>⚖️ <strong>Justice and Mercy</strong>: Why voting can be a way to seek justice and care for the least of these.</li>
<li> <strong>When Not Voting is Okay</strong>: Exploring situations where Christians might choose not to vote—and why it’s not always sinful.</li>
<li> <strong>Biblical Guidance</strong>: What Paul and the Bible say about obeying governing authorities and how it applies to us today.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians should engage in politics or if it’s okay to sit out an election, this episode will provide biblical insight and practical guidance.</p>

                    <![CDATA[<p>️ With elections around the corner, we’re tackling a provocative question on this episode of the Sage Reverie Podcast: <strong>Is it a sin not to vote?</strong> Do Christians have a biblical mandate to engage in politics, or is it just a civic duty? Join us as we explore the intersection of faith, politics, and responsibility.</p>
<p>In this episode, we discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li>️ <strong>Is Voting a Christian Duty?</strong>: Should Christians feel obligated to vote, or is it simply a civic privilege?</li>
<li> <strong>What Did Jesus Say?</strong>: How Jesus' life and teachings inform our involvement in politics (or lack thereof).</li>
<li>⚖️ <strong>Justice and Mercy</strong>: Why voting can be a way to seek justice and care for the least of these.</li>
<li> <strong>When Not Voting is Okay</strong>: Exploring situations where Christians might choose not to vote—and why it’s not always sinful.</li>
<li> <strong>Biblical Guidance</strong>: What Paul and the Bible say about obeying governing authorities and how it applies to us today.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you’ve ever wondered whether Christians should engage in politics or if it’s okay to sit out an election, this episode will provide biblical insight and practical guidance.</p>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>Anger is everywhere—in our personal lives, relationships, workplaces, and even in the world around us. In this episode of the Sage Reverie Podcast, we explore how to deal with anger as Christians. What makes us angry? Is it always sinful? And how can we overcome it without letting it control us?</p>
<p>In this episode, we cover:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Righteous Anger vs. Sinful Anger</strong>: When does anger become sinful, and when is it justified? We look at examples from Scripture, including Jesus' anger in the temple (John 2:13-17) and <strong>Romans 12:19-21</strong> on leaving revenge to God.</li>
<li> <strong>Practical Tips for Managing Anger</strong>: From taking deep breaths to renewing your mind, we share ways to slow down and make better choices when faced with anger.</li>
<li> <strong>Spiritual Maturity and Anger</strong>: How focusing on God can reduce our self-centered, sinful anger and lead us to care more about the things that anger God.</li>
<li> <strong>Planning Ahead</strong>: Learn how to recognize anger triggers and pray before entering situations where you know anger may arise.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Key Verses:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ephesians 4:26</strong>: "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."</li>
<li><strong>Romans 12:19-21</strong>: "Never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God."</li>
</ul>
<p>If you're struggling with anger, this episode offers both biblical insights and practical tools to help you overcome it and stay focused on God.</p>

<p>In this episode, we discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Investing vs. Gambling</strong>: Is investing in the stock market the same as gambling? What does the Bible actually say about it? (Warren Buffet’s take inside! )</li>
<li> <strong>Biblical Perspectives</strong>: Surprising examples in Scripture where risk and stewardship go hand-in-hand—like casting lots and the parable of the talents.</li>
<li> <strong>Caution in Investing</strong>: Why we shouldn’t make getting rich our goal. Instead, it's about creating stability and wisely managing what God has entrusted to us.</li>
<li> <strong>Dave Ramsey’s Advice</strong>: How consistent investing is more important than trying to predict the market.</li>
<li> <strong>Budgeting with Purpose</strong>: How you can find balance between giving, saving, and spending—taking a note from John Wesley’s famous advice: <em>"Earn all you can, save all you can, and give all you can."</em></li>

From awkward handshake time to repetitive worship songs, we’re airing out the things that make us cringe in church.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this episode, we’ll dive into some funny, relatable, and maybe even a little controversial topics like:</p>
<p> Handshake Time: Small talk, germs, and awkward moments</p>
<p> Long Announcements: Potlucks, MOPS, and kids singing…again</p>
<p>⏰ Starting Late or Ending Late: The balance between scheduling and “letting the Spirit move”</p>
<p> Overly Spiritual Language: When "God told me" becomes filler</p>
<p> The Pew Police: Yes, they really exist</p>
<p> The Prosperity Gospel: Broken promises and consumer Christianity</p>
<p> Repetitive Worship Songs: How many times can we sing the same line?</p>
<p> Repetitive Sermons: Why is it always about Moses?</p>
<p>Join us as we share some laughs and discuss why these pet peeves might matter more than we think.</p>

Why is it important to distinguish loving someone for what they can do versus loving someone for who they are? What implications does this have for our society as a whole?
