120: Create a Bible-Reading Habit Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

Show Notes:
Are there times when you feel like what you’re creating isn’t having the impact you desired? When you are making a project that you think many, many people will be happy to receive and you launch it to crickets?

If that's you, I know exactly how it feels.
But I want to encourage you. It's not over, it may be time to bring those things forward and repurpose them. Polish them, use them in a different way.

Today’s episode is from a recording that I’ve repurposed, and it was my baby effort to be a coach, speaker and influencer. I'm sharing how I was working on developing a Bible reading habit, using very specific steps, like setting time, and using a word for word method of writing down a verse every day and then paraphrasing it and then applying it.
Well, guess what? I still do the exact same thing today. Listen in and be encouraged that maybe now is the right time to bring back some of your old project, dust it off and see how you can put it to use today.

119: Believe God Can Turn It Around Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Show Notes:
Today's episode is going through an obscure story from the Bible that not a lot of people teach on or preach on. But there is so much rich encouragement here that is specifically for our time. This passage talks about prices being sky high, which is the case today. And the title of this episode, Believe God Can Turn It Around, is as true for us in this day and age, as it was back in the Bible times when prophets were announcing to God's people that he was with them, no matter what.
Their message that God could turn it around is the same for us today. So as you are building your business and trying to benefit your family and your local church, recognize that there is no hard time that God can't see you through.
Believe that God can turn it around.

118: Hold On Tight Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

Show Notes:
If you've been in business very long, then you know there are some up and down seasons and those seasons can be difficult to weather when we're trying to balance our home life, our church, life, friends and family, and the business that God has given us to steward.
During those times, I found that I turned to the word more than ever. In the lesson that I have for you today, I'm describing how I hold on to the word of God during the times when I need him the most.
And of course that spills over into times when it's not as difficult to run my business and things seem to be going smoothly. The habit during the hard times becomes the habit during the good times as well.
