Gift of Limitations part 2
There's two kinds of limitations: Limitations of DESIGN and limitations of DEFAULT. The gift hidden within the limitations of design is that once you accept them they free you to work on your limitations of default. Limitations of default are things your should never accept because they are man made and man imposed. Stop wasting your time trying to change a God given limitation that's like trying to teach a pig to sing, it's wastes your time and annoys the pig.

Hidden seasons are those times in your life where you can feel isolated and even invisible to others who used to notice you.

The Adjustment Bureau
The Adjustment Bureau is heavens alterations service. Sometimes the way that we interpret our lives is so inaccurate that God decides to intervene by editing our inner narrative. The way that Joseph saw his life was recorded in the naming of his two sons MANASSEH and EPRAIM. Manasseh his first born means ‘DELIVERANCE’ and Ephraim his second born means ‘FRUITFUL’. In other words Joseph perceived his life and journey as one where God delivered him from all his troubles which then enabled him to become fruitful.

Erroneous Transfers
ERRONEOUS TRANSFER was a term I’d never heard until I called my energy supplier to complain about my consistently high electricity bill.

They told me that these ET’S can go undetected for years and it’s only the consumer who can detect it because as far as the energy companies are concerned everyone’s paying them so they don’t care.

Following the feeding of the 5000 Jesus instructed the disciples to gather all the LEFTOVERS he was adamant that their should be no waste. There’s always a miracle in what you don’t want, need or have too much of. Leftovers are the for those who weren’t there, weren’t included or couldn’t make it and from the moment Jesus broke the first piece of bread he was thinking about the leftovers.

The Power Of Imaginary Friends
God told the 100 year old childless Abram to look up and try to count the stars because his descendants would be that numerous. Those stars became his imaginary friends, those stars were us and millions like us. We are the only species on the planet blessed with the amazing gift of imagination and yet as we age we use it less and less. Imagination is our off ramp from today’s cruel reality. Imagination is itself a huge act of courage and I want to share with you some of the imaginary friends who have jo...

Leadership - No Ox, No Achievement
Solomon tells us in the book of Proverbs that where there’s no OXEN the manger or work place is clean. I know that’s all a bit too agricultural for most of us but metaphorically it’s still so true today. In other words the OX is ugly, smelly, sweaty and poohs everywhere. But above all it’s PRODUCTIVE! No sweat no productivity...so don’t ever be afraid of or apologise for the ugliness of pure hard work. Thank you for listening to the Growing Big People with Paul Scanlon podcast, we want to...

Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance
TYRANNY IS THE DELIBERATE REMOVAL OF NUANCE. The word NUANCE is from the French word meaning ‘shades’ and in this very divided world we need to appreciate different shades more than ever. Everything has become either/or…for/against…good/bad…black/white…true/false….right/wrong…gay/straight…us/them….in/out…Brexit/remain…Republican/Democrat…guns/no guns…Palestine/Israel…etc… If you’re not convinced just try posting your shade of perspective on anything & prepare to be trolled.

Wisdom - They Devoted Themselves
If you could take an early church believer and put them into today’s church they’d be shocked at what most leaders spend their time doing. The book of Acts tells us that the early church DEVOTED THEMSELVES (Acts 2:42) to personal growth and community service. The reason the church exploded so quickly was because the devotion to God and humanity came from the grassroots up, not the top down. In Acts the leaders were free to lead because they weren’t worn out trying to persuade and remind people to be in church pray, give and serve. You...

Left handed leadership in a right handed world
Left handed leadership in a right handed world is about what the 90% right handed world can learn from the 10% left handers. Left handers despite their tiny minority have had a massive effect on human history. Militarily, architecturally, musically and in sports, politics and the highest levels of leadership south paws have had a huge disproportionate influence on mankind’s evolution. This message looks into the neuroscience of how the brain is cross wired and the implications of that for right handed left brain people vs left handed right brain people.

Bricks Without Straw
he difference between liberation and freedom is an enemy not a friend. Friends create comfort but enemies create movement. Without an enemy your present is permanent. God used Pharaoh and the bricks without straw scenario to force movement amongst a people who had become attached to an enemy they thought couldn’t get any worse. The problem wasn’t ‘Let my people go’ it was WILL MY PEOPLE LET GO? Liberation often requires an irritation for it to become freedom and a bricks without straw situation will always do the job.

Wisdom - Prison run by friends
Maybe you keep choosing to live in jail but don’t realise it. You don’t realise it because you feel ‘free’ in the company of friendly jailers. It feels safer living inside the cell of certain people’s acceptance and approvals, than it does to break out and risk their rejection.

Step Out of Stuck
STEP OUT OF STUCK based on the encounter Jesus had with the severely disabled man waiting for a miracle at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. This poor man was not only paralysed and stuck physically but also mentally emotionally and relationally. He was STUCK because he had spent decades at Bethesda, a place that was rigged for failure and disappointment. I’m using BETHESDA as a metaphor for anytime you’ve got stuck in your life. Bethesda can be any place, person or situation that promises breakthrough whilst locking you into a system, structure and culture that...

John tells us that Jesus wouldn’t entrust himself to people because he knew what people were like. (John 2v24) I call this always keeping a little 2% of you back that you never give to another person. A piece of you that you never entrust to anyone but God. That 2% is the management of your expectations about humans. It’s for your personal Gethsemane’s when they will let you down. It’s for the crosses that you must face alone.

Don't Despise the Day of Small Beginnings
God told Zachariah not to despise small beginnings, because small, fragile, unstable, and unsupported beginnings can be so despicable. If God warns us not to despise our beginning it’s because he knows something about beginnings that we don’t. He knows that hidden within the hardship of beginnings are things you can never learn in middles or endings and that despising robs us of discovering them. What you despise can’t grow you and the unique growth carefully concealed within our beginnings is too precious to surrender to the pain that results in a despising attitude. ...

Acceptance Precedes Change
This was ‘THE’ defining issue in the early church and in my opinion it’s still a huge issue for us.

Wisdom - Jesus was not a Christian
What we call Christianity was created by people not God. Jesus is bigger than Christianity, he’s not a joiner of groups or the head of a denomination. He’s not a fan of religion which Christianity has often been reduced to. All forms of tribalism were created by us including denominationalism. I’m a Christian but that doesn’t define me or Jesus or you. I love and follow Jesus but often Christianity tells me how, where and when to do that like an instruction manual for an object I bought.

Excellence - Q&A Interview
Excellence is the Cinderella of Church life. One of my greatest challenges as a pastor here in the north of England was to create a culture of excellence in everything we did. Having seen so many churches being run by the two ugly step sisters of ‘it’ll do’ and ‘good enough’ I was determined to at least attempt to build a place of excellence despite being volunteer dependent and having no corporate leverage. In fact the only excellence that counts is voluntary excellence ie excellence that comes from within not from some external coercion. It’s time...
