During this time in our world with COVID-19 and social injustice, I challenged the PAX to practicing the art of listening for understanding not just to respond. Best thing you can do right now is to be a good listener. Being a good listener shows others respect and helps them feel cared about and valued.

The same is true in our relationship with Jesus. Psalm 46:10, instructs us to “Be still and know that I am God.”  Be still and listen to God for understanding!

    Without a community, you are simply a community.” A commodity is something that can be removed, replaced, be made better.

    Lead and build your community. Create a place of belongship.

    “Belongship is about creating a community that is based on three things: trust, safety and care. If you nail that, you’re going to build an amazing organization.” – Sangram Vajre

    Keys to Positive Disruption (LeaderCast 2020)

    1) Picture of success depends heavily on Clarity. Focus on your problem, rather than the product.

    2) Extreme Focus. Own the narrative for momentum. When you create a community, the people drive the change. Give it away!

    3) Authenticity Trust and credibility are the multipliers. Whoever cares the most wins!”

    4) Kindness “Double down on kindness.” It’s a basic human need.

    “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less” -CS Lewis

    Final Charge: Don’t become a commodity, fight hard to become the community you desire to be

      “A negative attitude is like a flat tire, before you go anywhere you have to change it,”
      I consider myself a positive person and I fight the urge to get sucked into negativity. However, when I am not intentional about it, I tend to be received as supporting negativity. And sometimes, I do allow myself to get sucked in.
      I cannot tell you how many times I have dreaded a workout because I was tired physically or mentally and yet pushed through it and afterward was glad I did.
      If you ever stop pushing yourself, you will cease know what you are truly capable of. Embrace the suck. What people will always remember is not what you said but rather your attitude when you were faced with difficult times and change.
      Be a difference maker by choosing to have a good attitude in all that you do!

        Get off to a fresh start in 2020! The other day blindside, challenged us from the pulpit to “do 1 more!”  He got it from reading A workout book by Arnold Schwartzeneger. I challenged the PAX with pushing themselves to do one more rep, push through the tough times and go the extra mile. Go the extra mile in relationships with friends, family, spouse/significant other and in general. You are all leaders, so lead!

            Be Thankful. 3 verses from the Bible I think of when being thankful!

            1. For God’s steadfast love endures forever
            Psalm 136:1

            “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”
            Psalms 136:1 ESV


            2. Be thankful for God who gives us Victory through Jesus Christ because He was victorious over the grave. He is Risen!
            “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
            1 Corinthians 15:57


            3. Be thankful for those whom God as put in your life!

            “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,”
            Philippians 1:3 ESV
