    175: Winning When Life Is Difficult

    175: Winning when Life is Difficult Theme Scripture 2 Corinthians 6:4 In everything we do, we show that we are Gods servants by patiently enduring troubles, hardships, and difficulties. I. Opening Thought - Life often throws challenges when were just gaining momentum. - The real question isnt if well face difficultiesits how we respond. - Our response is a mirror of our emotional and spiritual maturity. II. Biblical Perspective: Paul’s Example - The Apostle Paul faced constant trouble in his ministry. - He never gave up on Gods dream for his life. - Paul had an eternal perspectivehe endured because he saw beyond the moment. - Key Lesson: Patient endurance is the key to success. III. Three Common Mistakes That Set Us Back 1. Listening to Bad Advice - God has already spoken direction over your life. - Dont let worldly experts talk you out of a God-given assignment. - If advice contradicts Gods Word, ignore the expert and trust the Eternal. 2. Following the Crowd - Popular doesnt equal purposeful. - Everybodys doing it is not a spiritual strategy. - Most crowds are movingbut not always thinking. - Courage comes from going with God, not the group. 3. Relying on Circumstances - Every open door is not a divine opportunity. - Circumstances can be misleading. - Ask God for clarity before you: - Take the job - Accept the invitation - Commit to the relationship - Discernment > convenience. IV. Closing Encouragement - Difficult seasons dont disqualify youthey develop you. - Winning doesnt always look like success; sometimes it looks like endurance. - Stay focused on Gods dream for you. - When you walk with God through the fireyou dont come out smelling like smoke, you come out shining like gold.

    172: Ways to Engage Jesus in everyday life

    Episode 172: Ways to Engage Jesus in Everyday Life How do we engage Jesus in the process of everyday life? 1. To engage Him in our day to day activities, we must invite Him in and ask for His help. 2. We should engage Jesus in our daily decisions. Invite Jesus in and ask for His wisdom and His help as you make simple decisions and difficult decisions. 3. We are to engage Him in all areas - including our finances, filing our taxes, etc. - and let Him guide us. 4.. As you set goals, make plans, or take your next steps - engage Jesus into the process of setting these goals, making these plans, and taking these steps. Allow time to pray - maybe even 30 days - praying and listening. 5. Engaging is talking, listening, and reading God's word. Allow some quiet time and wait to hear from Him. Practice engaging the presence of Jesus. 6. Engage Jesus in the hard season. Seek Him - not for the answer - but because He IS The Answer. Engage Him because this is the time that you can grow and see your faith strengthened. He wastes nothing and He redeems everything. 7. Engage Him and ask Him to help you lead others to Him.Scripture Reference: Hebrews 1:1-3 We hope this is an encouragement to you.

    171: Exchange your Destructive Criticism for Constructive Criticism Starting Now

    171: Exchange your Destructive Criticism for Constructive Criticism Starting Now The Saboteur of Success is Destructive Criticism. How can we exchange destructive criticism for constructive criticism? Here are 7 tips to start implementing today. 1. Protect the Individual's Self Esteem. Be gentle with your words and careful to not deflate the person you are speaking to. 2. Focus on the Future and Not the Past. Use words like "next time", "in the future", "today is a new day", etc. 3. Focus on the Behavior or the Performance and not the Person. Replace the word "you" with a description of the problem. 4. Use "I" Messages to Retain Ownership of Your Feelings. I feel (insert a word like angry, hurt, frustrated) when you do (insert problematic behavior). 5. Be Clear About What Needs to Change. Be specific, solution oriented, and decision based. 6. Offer to Help. Model the best behavior you expect from others. Serve others, care about others, and give help. Let them know they are not alone by saying "we" - here is what we are going to do. 7. Assume the Best about the Other Person. We hope you enjoy these tips. Share them with your friends. We can all choose to be gentle with our words and be an encouragement to others.

    170: How Can I Balance my Faith with My Challenges?

    170: How Can We Balance Our Faith with Our Challenges? We encounter all types of challenges. As believers, as we encounter challenges, we should react differently than the world. We are commanded to cast all of our cares on Jesus, for He cares for us. We are not to wear worry and overwhelm like a blanket. 7 Steps to Shift our Focus from our Challenge to a Solution. 1. Shift your focus from worry to wisdom. Seek Jesus first. Place your trust in Him and heed His advice. His way is wise. Be obedient to His word. 2. Shift from complaining to Christ-centered problem solving. God is moving in our life. We forget too quickly and go back to complaining. Instead, ask God to use you in the midst of your challenge, seek to learn what He is teaching you, and experience growth. Be honest with yourself about where you are and learn to live victoriously. We cannot be looking down, having a pity party, and leading people up the mountain to Jesus at the same time. 3. Shift your focus off of what you can control and focus on surrendering. We are not in control of anything; He is in control of everything. Invite God into every area of your life and surrender it all to Him. The only thing we can control is our attitudes, our actions, and our prayers. 4. Replace fear with faith-filled action. Instead of sitting paralyzed in fear, ask "what step of faith are you asking me to take today, God?" Take the next right step in His strength. 5. Speak life over the problem. We say a lot of negative things about ourselves, our situations, and our plans. Look forward and step into your purpose. Speak life over your situation and let God walk forward with you. 6. Use trials as training grounds for leadership. (James 1:2-4) Trials grow us and strengthen us. Here is where we learn who God is and that He is faithful to be with us. 7. Seek wise counsel and community. Do not isolate. What can you do to move forward? 1. Find yourself a Christian Coach. They will help you identify your blind spots. 2. Get in Bible Study with a leader who will encourage you, challenge you and inspire you. 3. Find friends who love Jesus and speak truth into your life. You were created for such a time as this. It's your time to look up and start leading others to Jesus!
