    <description>The objective of "This is Life" is to help answer the almighty question, "Why?" We all go through life’s ups and downs. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where you could listen to everyday people talk about everyday experiences and gain wisdom on how to handle your own life's battles? We can learn so much from each other if we just listen. This life that we have been given is not only a gift, but a tool to use the experiences of this life and make it better for others. It is our duty as mankind to execute the power inside of us to create peace, love and goodness to this world. Every living soul is worth of unconditional love, respect and kindness. God's love knows no boundaries and neither should ours.</description>

  <itunes:subtitle>After hearing that a fellow believer is telling everyone he is going to sue the NFL over the halftime show because it "puts his soul in danger of hell-fire", i just couldn't stand by and not say anything.  Why are we so afraid of the world? Furthermore, why do we expect the world to behave like anything else but...the world? Stand in the power of God's grace and don't be so afraid of sin that you become slave to it once again.  </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>During the last week of October, I was facing one of the hardest decisions of my life.  I was saying goodbye to my best friend and sidekick, my English Bulldog Isabela.  I put this episode away and figured eventually I'd be ready to release it.  Being that in the coming week we will celebrate the greatest gift of all in Jesus Christ, what better time to teach and hear about the goodness of God's grace even when we are burdened by the weight of this world.  </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>What would it look like for us to say "You are more important than me"? Can you imagine a world where a majority of people preferred others more than themselves?  This is exactly the kind of world that God has instructed us to live in.  Even when we are hurt by someone or they are caught in a sin, we are instructed to restore that person gently.
