UNDERSTANDING YOUR IDENTITY AND PURPOSE John Bradbury

How do we grow, mature, and stay healthy? How do we fulfill our calling, adding significant value to the world around us? And how do we discover truth, humility, righteousness, love, and unity?
By embracing diversity!
When we seek out people who do not look, think, feel, talk, or act like us, it challenges our "normal." When we travel, we discover ways of doing things that we didn't know existed. If we listen to teachers, influencers, and friends who disagree with our perspectives, it helps us see our belief systems objectively.
Diversity is critical to health, healing, and wholeness. Without it, we remain shallow, narrow-minded, isolated, and useless. I challenge you to intentionally diversify your life. Find the voices, experiences, and places that are different from the culture you grew up in and embrace the problems that arise. Over time, you, and the world around you, will be so much better off.

What if there is a way to do everything that required no compromise, anxiety, or unnecessary discipline? What if we could discover God's design for our bodies, relationships, communities, and businesses? What if there was a way to do things that worked with no downside?
In Genesis 1, after each day of creation, God looked at what He made and said it was good. God perfectly designed every living thing, the plants, animals, people, and the earth itself. We are good. The world is good. There is nothing broken or flawed in the way God made things.
But what about original sin? Didn't Adam and Eve mess things up for everyone? Yes, but that means we live disconnected from God, others, the earth, and the design until we choose to reconnect through Jesus. There is nothing wrong with the ground, humanity, or our bodies. We are still made in His image and likeness, and the way God intended things to function remains intact.
When we humble ourselves and discover how life works, everything changes. Health, wholeness, intimacy, purpose, provision, and peace become our new normal. I challenge you to question the areas of your life that don't seem to be responding to all of your effort and discipline. Could there be a better way, based on original goodness, that you can do life that works with God's design instead of fighting against it?

How do you produce the results you want? How do you fulfill the calling on your life? What is the process, and how does it work? How does God's kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven?
In today's episode, we talk about manifestation, or the process through which spiritual things become manifest in the natural world. Your true self is a spiritual being who directs your attention, intentions, desires, and imagination. You can use that ability, and your relationship with the Holy Spirit, to intentionally cultivate a fertile emotional state, expand your comfort zone, choose your thoughts, develop skills and relationships, and walk with God. If you do, you will manifest God's will and nature on the earth.
But if you don't, if you allow your life to go unattended, or remain unconscious, your life will be random and unfruitful. Choose to live spiritually aware, let go of any ego attachments, and develop a relationship with God's Spirit, and you will reveal God's nature to the world.

Are you trying to control your circumstances or your response to those circumstances? If you want to bear much fruit, you must accept the way things are so you can respond accordingly.
In today's episode, we discuss radical acceptance. Using the examples of improv comedy, tennis, and judo, we talk about what it means to allow things to be as they are so you cooperate instead of resist. Nothing good comes from resistance. It steals your focus by directing your attention, imagination, intelligence, desires, and intentions on things you can't control instead of what you can.
To live a fruitful life, and make the world a better place, you must do it on your turn. First, you accept the situation you find yourself in, and then you choose to think, feel, and act in such a way that improves it. In sports, business, relationships, and life, you can't change things by wishing they were different. You have to accept the way things are, then make them better when it's your turn to respond.

Why do I keep sabotaging myself? Why can't I lose weight, maintain healthy relationships, or make enough money? I know there's a calling on my life, but I can't seem to get out of my comfort zone and fulfill it. How do I stop undermining my success and become who God created me to be?

In today's episode, we cover three specific ways to stop sabotaging yourself. First, it's all about taking responsibility. When we see ourselves as the gardener, the spirit who tends to the garden of our lives, we stop trying to change our circumstances and change ourselves instead. Next, we accept reality. Only after you accept the way things are and the design of God can you make significant progress. Finally, we stop isolating ourselves. We can only find meaning, abundance, and fulfillment in the context of the whole body.

You can do this! Stop sabotaging yourself today and begin to live the fruitful life God intended. You don't want to miss this one!
