Exploring faith amid the chaos with Daniel Smith UN-Faqs
-
- Emprendimiento
Episode 14 - My next guest is a wonderful, deeply caring and charismatic man of faith. Daniel Smith is a pastor and teacher in the Comox Valley, British Columbia who currently serves on staff at both Northgate Church and Phil & Jennie Gaglardi Academy.
Daniel and his wife, Mariah, are passionate about working with and empowering young leaders, caring for the needy, and ensuring that everyone in the Comox Valley and beyond has the opportunity to discover their best selves.
Daniel is currently working on his Master's Degree in Christian Studies at Regent College, a UBC-affiliated school of Theology, and desires to see the world become a better place through the love of Jesus and inspiring leadership.
By way of hobbies, Daniel loves going for runs and playing sports, hanging out on a patio on a sunny day with Mariah, and taking in a good podcast or book. Indeed we talk mention a few including:
The Holy Bible - Daniel's favourite book of all time!
Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, Angela Duckworth
Many wonderful takeaways from this episode. Here are five worth sharing. I hope you also get some more great takeaways to apply right away in your life.
Empathy - Ensuring to address and relate with people with a degree of understanding of their position and their own personal relationship and experiences with the pandemic.
Consistency - Being consistent in our character, energy and joy.
The Flaw of Self-Focus - Fear, worry, depression, and any egotism actually flowed from an over-emphasis or focus on self. Stop focusing on the self because it is destined to make mistakes. Instead, turn to the one source of abundant joy and energy
Resilience - It takes an element of 'grit' to push through hard things and a degree of patience. In fact, resilience "is best built by patience."
Clear and Transparent Communication - One of my objectives in life and serving in serving my client's public relations needs. Even when you don't have all answers, be honest, open and clear with those you lead. It instills trust and helps dispel the often-imagined "mirage of information."
No matter where you are in life, what your spiritual journey may be, the team at North Gate invite you to come explore your faith. Join their Sunday service online or watch on-demand throughout the week. Visit www.ngate.ca.
In the episode I mention The VIA Survey of Character Strengths, a free self-assessment that in less than 15 minutes provides intriguing results too help you understand your best qualities. Visit https://www.viacharacter.org
