Over the last four months, Nay and I have had several times of particular difficulty. Hannah Gadlage asked a great question about what Bible verses we use to get through tough times. In this show I mention Nay’s Testimony of how God healed her, and here is a link to that.
This Week’s Podcast
Verses I mention in today’s podcast:
Isaiah 43:2-3
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
Luke 6:38
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Proverbs 21:21
Whoever pursues righteousness and love
finds life, prosperity[a] and honor.
Psalms 37:4
Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
“So, should it be Mexican or wings tonight?” The right answer is not “yes” (unless you want Mexican wings…) . In this podcast, Terry talks about the real question and the basis for much of our political disagreement today.
How lunch with some friends led to a shopping trip, and how that trip changed my life.
Just a reminder that we need to be able to receive in order to be good givers.
Last week I shared several ways to ensure failure as a life-long learner. This week, I help you find success!
I always thought humility meant that I was to be humiliated. But according to a recent lesson from Kris Vallotton from Bethel Church, this is the idea: “God is opposed to the proud but he gives grace to the humble” – James 4:6
“To be humble does not mean to think less of yourself, it means to think of yourself less” – CS Lewis.
From the devotional: Here are 15 signs of true humility:
1. You are teachable.
2. You are influenceable.
3. You can be corrected without defending yourself.
4. You rejoice when others are celebrated.
5. No job is too small for you.
6. You don’t have to be right.
7. You naturally seek the advice of others.
8. You actually do pray.
9. You freely admit your flaws, mistakes, and failures.
10. You live to help others succeed.
11. You aren’t entitled.
12. You are patient.
13. You don’t promote yourself.
14. You let other people have a better story than yours.
15. You honor other people when they are talking.

I’ve talked a bit about this before, but this time I give it a more spiritual look. God has a purpose for each of us, but we have to ask.
With recent proclamations by companies as big as Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines, Terry has some thoughts on the appropriateness of discussing politics at work and your company taking a political stance.
Terry shares several examples of strong vision and one that is of a billion-dollar company that totally lost it.
Good friend and consultant Traci Bakenhaster from Design and Renew Consulting asks the ultimate question when seeking a vision for your life: How Do I Get a Vision. There is a difference in Vision and Mission, and there are a couple of vital steps you need to pursue when seeking your ultimate purpose.
