Reaching For Real Life

Riots at the Capitol, Trump boycotted from Twitter, Trump boycotting the Inauguration, one week left of Presidency and Congress is pushing for impeachment...what in the wide, wide world of sports is a going on here? Pastor Sean Azzaro (930AM The Answer San Antonio) calls on the always level and quick-witted Mark Davis of The Mark Davis Show in Dallas Texas (660AM The Answer Dallas) who says the first priority is prayer which is how he starts every one of his daily programs. Enjoy the conversation.

Goals for 2021: How can I make myself a better person in 2021 - read the Word. How can I hear the Voice of God - read the Word. How can I find God's will for my life - read the Word. How can I grow in maturity in my faith - read the Word. Where do I start? Pastor Sean has a plan - it's to read the Word - inside this podcast Sean talks about his rhythm in reading the Word and shares the tools on how to do wisely. That Bible reading plan is at www.reallife.org

After missing a week of the podcast, the mystery is solved when Sean reveals he caught the COVID - and 2 weeks before Christmas no less. How bad was it? Was it as horrible as the media says or was it a nothing-burger. Everybody's experience is different - but Sean says one thing remains the same. Enjoy his great story - plus stick around for the pre-show smack after the podcast.

Despite election drama lows and new spikes in COVID, Religious Freedom and Liberty score a big win in the Supreme Court. Pastor Sean talks about the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn vs. Andrew Cuomo case, plus how blessed we are to live in Texas. And oh by the way, in the midst of all this...unto us a Child is given...who is Christ the Lord. And listen to end on how you can win an autographed copy of A Pilgrims Guide To The Spirit Filled Life by Sean Azzaro.

Sean Azzaro has been on the radio circuit doing interviews promoting his debut book "A Pilgrims Guide To The Spirit Fill Life", and had an especially good experience on Very Bold Radio with Steve Teel of Very Bold Ministries and the Peanut Butter Bowl (listen to Reaching For Real Life Podcast #247). Enjoy!

After a short celebration of the Audible release of The Pilgrim's Guide to the Spirit Filled Life, Pastor Sean digs deep into the spiritual importance of gratitude during this special week of Thanksgiving, despite the headlines, the cancel culture, who won or lost the race, and who starts as quarterback for the Bears. Plus there's a hidden bonus track on this podcast.

If "It's the Economy, Stupid" then what will the next administration do with it? Will repealing the tax cuts help or hurt? GDP / The Stock Market - How does it really work and why does it matter? Pastor Sean called upon Dr. Ann Gillette, Professor of Economics at Kennesaw State University to answer these questions and more. Probably the most intelligent conversation ever on The Reaching for Real Life Podcast with a reminder that God is your provider.

What a week! COVID is worse, and yet the media announced a new vaccine. We elected a Present...but yet ONLY the media has announced that! The week continues...and Pastor Sean announces a bigger headline and the bottom line - In Psalms 2 God says "I have installed MY KING upon Zion, my Holy Mountain." Enjoy this episode with some inspirational smack.

"The problem is not systemic racism, the problem is systemic guilt." - Dr. Shelby Steele as heard on The Reaching For Real Life Radio Show and Podcast.

Lessons learned inside here - now watch what happens next when you know you're called.

After Sean breaks the big news of new church plant from River City, Pastor Stuart Perryman of Agape Christian Church joins the conversation. Pastor Stuart had the vision to unite SA Pastors in this election season to keep our eyes on Jesus, to preach Jesus and Him crucified...it's about the Gospel. Sean goes over a document created for city pastors and leaders with 10 important points in this vision for Unity. You can find it and more on the Facebook page: The Christian Leadership of San Antonio.

Todd Starnes also shares his faith and the hope we still have if good Christians do what three Hebrews did back in Daniel's day.
