    Episode 002: Lead With Clarity, Strength and Abundance

    Lead With Clarity, Strength, and Abundance In this episode, host Shane Kennard dives deeper into the vision for "Finding Life" and how a relationship with Jesus provides the ultimate fuel for the soul. He explores the concept of Zoe (eternal, abundant life) and challenges listeners to move beyond simply "going through the motions." Key Discussion Points The Source of Life: Shane explains that God breathed life into every soul, and Jesus is the ultimate source of the "infinite life" our souls were designed to run on. Overcoming Burnout: Addressing the common feelings of being "shapeless, empty, and dark," Shane discusses how finding life in Jesus provides a light that gives direction and purpose. Finding Your Purpose: Every person has a God-given reason for living. Shane shares his journey of creating a 30-day Purpose Course to help others discover their identity and mission. Leading with Clarity, Strength, and Abundance: Clarity: Understanding your identity and following the "North Star" God has for you. Strength: Distinguishing between power (which takes and pushes down) and strength (which gives and lifts up). Abundance: Realizing that the life Jesus offers is not a "trickle" but a flood that allows leaders to flourish and inspire loyalty in others. Core Pillars of Finding Life Shane emphasizes three practical ways to hear and follow Jesus daily: The Word: Engaging with Scripture. Prayer: Consistent communication with God. Community: Growing alongside others who share the same mission. Upcoming Opportunities Shane introduces several ways to engage more deeply with these concepts: The Purpose Course: A 30-day experience to define your life’s direction. Group Cohorts: Collaborative environments to reflect and speak into each other's lives. One-on-One Coaching: Personalized help to find what brings you alive. Team & Organizational Intensives: Helping groups move beyond "just showing up" to living out a shared purpose. Reflective Question "What is your impossible prayer? What is the one thing you’ve heard today that makes you say, 'I need more of that' or 'I want to get rid of that'?" Connect with Finding Life Subscribe to the Finding Life podcast.
