Listen "Stay Ready"
Episode Synopsis
As the speaker struggles through early school-year exhaustion and strict morning routines, they argue that preparedness prevents rushed, frazzled lives. Small daily habits — waking early, planning, and steady routines — create stability and opportunity.
They connect this to the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25): the oil symbolizes genuine spiritual readiness, and the wise maidens who brought extra oil are contrasted with the foolish ones who were unprepared.
The episode invites listeners to cultivate a deeper relationship with God through prayer, Scripture, serving others, and living out faith so that, like the wise maidens, they are ready when the bridegroom returns.
