Driving Out the Counterproductive | Coffee in the Shop ☕️

Jeff reflects on a morning reading from Deuteronomy, where Moses prepares Israel to enter the Promised Land while warning them against adopting destructive practices from the surrounding cultures. Exploring themes of judgment, blessing, and personal responsibility, Jeff connects these ancient lessons to modern life and the habits that quietly steal our time, purpose, and potential. From watching the same television shows out of comfort, to avoiding challenges because they bring fear, Jeff examines how seemingly harmless routines can become barriers to growth. He shares observations from a courthouse arraignment, a missed coffee meeting, and an unexpected request to help build a plywood casket—each illustrating the reality that every choice means choosing one thing over another. This thoughtful reflection encourages viewers to examine their daily decisions and consider whether their habits are moving them toward God's calling or simply keeping them comfortable. Sometimes the path forward isn't revealed all at once; it unfolds one faithful decision at a time. #JeffGould #AmericasStoryteller #CoffeeInTheShop #Coffee #Faith #ChristianLiving #Deuteronomy #PersonalGrowth #Purpose #Habits #LifeChoices #storytelling Learn all about America's Storyteller on his website: https://www.ilikethatstory.com Buy Jeff's books, CD, and audio book: https://www.ilikethatstory.net/shop Get urgent one-on-one coaching with Jeff now: https://calendly.com/jeffjgould Connect with Jeff on social media: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/jeffgould LinkedIn:   / jeff-goul.  .
