Do you have your life planned out? What will you be doing 1 year from now, 5 years, 10 years...?

Have you planned anything at all, or are you winging it?

Plan too much and you might struggle when the curveballs of life get thrown your way, but if you don't plan at all then you might just end up nowhere at all. Remember, failing to plan is planning to fail, and if you aim at nothing then that is what you just might get.

In this episode, Brian and Aaron discussed life planning and stressed the importance of being intentional in thinking about our futures and how our lives can have a positive impact.

What will you do with your life?

Things to think about this week:

How do you know what you value? Why do they matter? How do we figure all of this out?

Values may go stated (words like 'courage' and 'integrity' and 'innovation' plastered on staff room walls) or they may be hidden, lurking beneath the surface of every decision we make. Quite often, our values only become evident when something happens that conflicts with those values we didn't realise we had. And sometimes they simply shape the culture of our workplace or the particular way we do things. But we all have them.

In this episode, Brian and Aaron chat to Bec Oates (the incoming CEO of Tearfund Australia) about values. Bec brings a wealth of experience from her work with NFP's and running her business. She shared three values: Integrity, Justice, and...you'll have to listen to found out the third, but it's a surprising one!

Things to think about this week:

• What do you value?
• What values would someone see when they look at you?

Work is supposed to be good. To go to work, to toil and labour, is to reflect the creative and productive character of God. It brings purpose and meaning, and allows us to make the world a better place and be custodians of God's good creation.

But work, for so many, does not inspire. It's a drain and a dread. They knuckle down and get on with the workweek just looking to get home or for Friday evening to come around.

So how can work be good? Why is it not good for so many? How can we make it purposeful?

Brian and Aaron chat through these questions and talk, theologically, about the nature of work.

Things to think about this week:

• How can you make sure that you good some good sleep?
• How can you - in whatever position or role you currently occupy - make you workplace a positive and redemptive place?
• How can you ensure the smile of God?
• If you could do anything, and money was no issue, what would you do?
