    <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>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.  This episode explores the freedom we can have in loving and preferring one another above ourselves without jeopardizing our own self worth. </itunes:subtitle>
