Part Four: Circles
We live in an addictive society. There are so many parts of our lives that can take over and become unmanageable: drugs, food, sex, credit cards, work, and alcohol can all create havoc in our lives. In this talk we look at the root of addictive behaviors and ways we can create balance in our lives. ]]> 00:45:12 no http://www.mosaicdayton.org/podcasts/mosaic-20120429.mp3 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:00:00 EST
Part Three: The Triange

Part Four: One Day at a Time
One thing that steals our peace is trying to live in the future. There are a couple of different ways that we do this, and both of them prevent us from being fully engaged with life today. In this talk we learn how to increase our serenity by focusing on the present. ]]> 00:27:00 no http://www.mosaicdayton.org/podcasts/mosaic-20120318.mp3 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST
Part Three: Facing out Fears
The path to serenity involves changing the things that are within our power to change. But often in life our fear causes us to accept things that we have the power to change, and this impacts our lives and the lives of those around us. What do we do when we are stuck in our fear and can't seem to move forward? ]]> 00:23:35 no http://www.mosaicdayton.org/podcasts/mosaic-20120311.mp3 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:00:00 EST

Part Three: The Real Thing
One of the challenges of prayer is we are talking to someone we cannot see. Because of this, we can be tempted to turn God into an imaginary friend. Jesus has some compelling things to say that help us make sure our prayer is a real relationship with the real God. ]]> 00:24:44 no http://www.mosaicdayton.org/podcasts/mosaic-20111204.mp3 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:00:00 EST
Part Two: In the Moment
