S06E024, Pausing And The Back Burner, Andy B 2 Minute Video

Download - Listen - Transcription

Andy B explains the year-long gap in his two-minute videos, attributing it to the launch of Pure247Radio, a global Christian media initiative that required his full focus. He emphasizes that stepping away from certain activities isn't necessarily negative, but often reflects a shift in priorities based on God’s leading. Letting go of some roles or tasks, like his HGV truck driving credentials - or worship leading - can be necessary to make room for new opportunities.

Andy encourages viewers not to fear pauses or changes in their lives. Instead, he advises seeking God’s guidance to discern whether a season has ended or simply been paused. Returning to his videos after a break has been refreshing, demonstrating the value of reassessing and aligning one’s efforts with God’s will.

Just a thought...

So another Andy B two minute video, and there's been a gap of Andy B two minute videos. There's been about a year's worth where I haven't made any. Why? not because I couldn't be bothered. Not because life got too difficult. Not because, I just forgot. It's just not like that. The reason for the gap is a very positive thing.

We launched Pure24x7 Radio. And because of that, we pushed certain things away to the back burner of our lives in order to focus on this new thing. Pure24x7Radio. org. It's now a global media thing. It's awesome. We've been going for more than a year. It's amazing what God has done. But lots of things had to get pushed to the back burner.

Why? Because we needed to focus on the thing that God had brought right to the forefront of our lives. Don't be afraid when something that you do has been taken away from you. Don't worry about that so much. I just renewed my driving license. I've been a HGV driver for nearly 30 years. Why? Because my driving license has got letters all over it and they say I can drive big trucks.

When I renewed my driving license recently, I lost those letters. I haven't used them for eight years. I haven't been a trucker for eight years now. I don't need those letters, because I got no intention of driving trucks anytime soon. So I had to let them go, which made me a bit sad. It was a big part of my life.

I created a lot of income for our family through my working as a trucker. Don't be afraid to let go of things. Don't be afraid if things are removed from you. I've led worship for 30 years, haven't done it for a little while. I'm not worried. It's not that I refuse. It's not that I'm just not going to do that.

There's no opportunities right now. And that's okay. Because through Life S Seasons, Andy B Two Minute Videos, I've done, I think, a few hundred. And we're back on them again, because we've done a year of pure radio. And now I'm able to focus back on those things I used to do, which is exciting. Don't worry.

When things that you do come to an end, or when it comes to a pause, it's always worth double checking. Is this something, God, that you want me to keep doing? Am I just laying this down for a little while? Is it just going on a pause? Andy B Two Minute Videos, I love doing them, they're great fun. Bad of a year of a gap, but that's okay.

They're back and I'm enjoying doing them again. Sometimes it's good to let things go, to really work out is this what I want to do or am I just doing it because I've always done it? Always go back to God and say, is this your will for me? What are you asking me to do so we can be most effective for God?

Just a thought.
