This is a message that I shared with The Gathering at Victory Acres, and I wanted to share it with you as well.

Living prepared for the inevitable storms of life is the lesson that I am gleaning this week.

Sharing some stories from my own experience and some principles from Scripture.

In this episode I share about our time as a family at Serenity Cabin in Galax, Virginia. We are deeply grateful!

I also share about the need for connection. In a world awash in content, many are lacking genuine connection.

What about you? Who is your Paul, your Barnabas, and your Timothy?

Avoid the habit of doing too much by taking these four steps:

Evaluate, Eliminate, Delegate, and Automate

Do you have a habit of avoiding conflict?

Practice Matthew 18. Avoiding conflict will rarely make a bad situation better.

Virtues are specific habits of excellence, and the four Cardinal Virtues are:

1 - Temperance

2 - Courage

3 - Justice, and

4 - Prudence

There are many "sub-disciplines" of these virtues that will make our lives better.

Coaching can challenge our thinking. "The problem with success is that you rise to a level that people stop challenging your thinking." - Charles Duhigg (author of How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection.)

In this episode, I talk coaching, conversations, and self-awareness as leaders. (Yes, it's just me rambling again.)

For the 100th episode, Kaylynn is back! We review the top 10 episodes from the first 100 published. A good time was had by all.

Here is a report on the time that Samuel and I spent recently in South Africa and Lesotho. It was an adventure, and we are grateful for the opportunity that we had to travel and to share.

Here are some highlights and lessons...

While in South Africa, we had the opportunity to interview missionaries Matt Smith and Ben Peters. While my equipment malfunctioned on the interview with Ben and I only captured the first question, I wanted to share it with you.

These are great young leaders, and it was a honor to serve with them.

Sam and I share from South Africa about our trip and the lessons God is teaching us along the way.

This is a message that I delivered to The Gathering at Victory Acres in 2022 and I'm sharing again today on this last Sunday of Advent 2024.

I hope that it will be a blessing to you.

I wanted to share some things that help make my days more happy and productive. I know that for some this might be a TMI episode, but since this podcast is really just me talking about whatever I jolly-well please, here you go.

"Curious people are rarely cynical, and cynical people are very rarely curious." - Carey Nieuwhof

While one are you? Are you actively inviting other trusted people to take the "red pen" to your life? Are you interested or interesting?

As a leader, humility and curiosity are essential. Are you a leader who is growing in relationship and building trust?

Sharing from some of my experiences in third-world contexts and statistics from A Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns, I make the case for seeking the Shalom of God for the world in which we live.

We cannot dismiss it, and to whom much is given, much is required. May God help us to seek the peace of the places where He has led us.

This episode of Gleaning is a message that I shared with 500+ men in Seymour, IN in mid-September at Men Arise. Sharing on the edge of this lake in a huge amphitheater at dawn is an experience I hope I'll never forget.
