Talk and Pray for Life and BusinessTalk and Pray for Life and BusinessT&P 55: Leading is ListeningA vital component to great leadership is listening! Jesus was an active listener, and He responded with empathy, solved people's problems, commended them for their faith only after He'd given them His ear. Register for the latest information about Qualified (A Mastermind on Leadership), coming soon, at Qualified Mastermind.2024-10-1015 minTalk and Pray for Life and BusinessTalk and Pray for Life and BusinessT&P 54: Time Is On My SideTime is a precious commodity, and how we spend it—invest it!—will determine whether we have the abundant life Jesus promised. I refer in this episode a powerful classic book, Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence for Every Believer by J. Oswald Sanders. You can find it here: Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders. I only touch on Time in this episode, but this book is rich in leadership principles.  The old blog post I allude to is here: A Different Drummer (Cheaper Than Therapy Quilting).

What does it mean to have a work ethic? And what's with the trend of "quiet quitting"? You'll be surprised to learn that an ADHD strategy is the answer to quiet quitting or the impulse to do less than our best work.  References to Genesis, Paul's letters to the Corinthians, Ephesians and Colossians, all have words of wisdom about our work.

I find that habits can rescue me from being stuck, or easing away from tried and true practices can create stuck until I revisit what worked before! I found three habits in particular that help me get going when I've plateaued. Here are three hints for the habits: The Sounds of Silence, The Rhythm is Gonna Get You, and I Dare You to Move!

Celebrating Mother's Day brought up quite a few memories of my mother, but also evoked the realization that all mothers are not alike. The wife of Abraham—Sarai who became Sarah, the mother of many nations—responded to the news that she would be a mom with laughter, but it wasn't all that funny!  Today, mothers are no laughing matter... we all have challenges, but God is faithful through them all!

A new (to me) Song was really an oldie, but a goodie, and what I learned while hearing it the first time stuck with me.  It was a workshop for sales, and a video about goals, and the background music was... awesome.

I've watched Top Gun: Maverick a bunch of times. It's a feel good movie, and I think I know the reason why! Don't we always love unlikely heroes!? The people who overcome the odds and win.  There's a story of an unlikely victory in the Old Testament book of Judges. A prophet predicts a victory not at the hand of a general, but by a woman... and it's not who you think at the beginning of the story! Like Maverick, the hero makes us proud, and brings peace to Israel for 40 years!

It's in my Top 10 list of Christmas movies, and its themes reveal much. Who iknew that so many of the things we want, and even acquire, can leave us feeling empty and lacking, wanting more. It's the classic quote from the movie: "You guys had enough? Or are you thirsty for more!?"

Besides overthinking it, I worry about that "first impression" thing. But the reality is that, like the spiel I spent time refining, we are also in a state of constant refinement. Every day is a new opportunity, a do-over with more skill, more understanding, more wisdom that we had yesterday. And if we allow the Supreme Silversmith, Jesus (author and perfector of the faith!) to work his work, our refinement will result in an image that looks very much like Him!

Do you know where you're going and how to get there? Is it possible to get there if you don't really know the destination? just that it's "out there....somewhere"? Often God calls us to go without giving up all the details, and He desires to teach us to trust Him in the journey.  Can we "boldy go where no one has gone before" with His directions and step-by-step directions?
