Teshuva - What Do You Know To Do?

Uncategorized Sep 02, 2022
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.

We are almost a week into the 40 Days of Teshuva. Teshuva = turning or repenting. This is an amazing time of year for answered prayer and making adjustments. 

These 40 days are a reminder to make adjustments and course correct any areas that are off track. It's also a reminder to DO WHAT YOU KNOW TO DO. What are you procrastinating on? This is the time to take action

One of the areas of focus on taking action is in the area of finances. This month our focus is on financial stewardship. Are there any financial steps that you know to take... specifically any relationships that are being strained because of financial reasons. If so, how can you take a step to make it right?

Here is this week's filter(reminder) to write at the top of our journals each day... Teshuva - What do you know to do?

I am praying for you. 

Daniel

P.S. The Yearly Cycle Calendar for 2022 is down below.

In September we are starting a new focus with The Financial Stewardship Challenge...

Over the next month we are going to focus on becoming great stewards who manage, multiply, and greatly increase all that God has entrusted to us.

One of our first steps is to take an accounting of what has been entrusted to us. 

Here is an action step to take sometime over the next couple of days...

List out all of your current assets, liabilities(debts). Then list your expected expenses and income for this month. 

We will talk more about what to do with these this month. 

While we are working on this step, here is an important principle for Financial Stewardship... Money Likes Speed.

Having had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with millionaires and a few billionaires these people make fast decisions when they know what to do. They don't drag their feet.

This month we are going to be looking at the Parable of the Talents and the Parable of the Minas as...

For some people looking at financial statements is not their thing.. so in today's communion we are asking God for help to become consistent in tracking our finances. 

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Let's take an accounting of our health and fitness. How are we doing in our fitness... Where are we currently on basic things like ability to do pushups, pullups, squats, situps,...

The Connection Challenge Part 5

Uncategorized Aug 31, 2022
 

Listen to the Podcast

This month our challenge is to connect on a new level... With God, our purpose, our loved ones, and community.

Here is what we have worked on so this month.

  1. Bringing a new level of awe and presence to our time of connecting with God
  2. Connecting spirit, soul, and body
  3. Connecting with our loved ones. 
  4. Connecting with our community.

Here are a few of my key takeaways from this month...

  • Connecting spirit, soul, and body helps to see God's beautiful solutions show up in our lives.  His solutions are the perfect seamless fit. 
  • Don't force connection take a gentle natural approach.
  • Think of catching and throwing bids as playing defense and offense. When we catch bids from others, we are playing defense and defending them from hurt, frustration, anger, etc. We can play offense by proactively looking for a way to be a blessing.
  • A connected community takes the pressure off of one another and increases the capacity for more to be done.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Our bodies are another thing we can steward. As we meditate on financial stewardship, lets also take a moment to evaluate how we are doing in stewarding our health. 

I am praying for you.

Peace and Joy

This month our challenge is to connect on a new level... With God, our purpose, our loved ones, and community.

Here is what we have worked on so far...

  1. Bringing a new level of awe and presence to our time of connecting with God
  2. Connecting spirit, soul, and body
  3. Connecting with our loved ones. 

This week we are focusing on connecting with our community. 

Today's communion is a much shorter and very simple one... but also very powerful. Today we are focusing on peace and joy during our time of communion. Something I have learned is that when we are truly in faith, peace comes right along with it. The two go together. And when we are present there is joy. Therefore, peace and joy can be our indicators of taking communion with faith and presence. 

As we take communion today, let's ramp up our gratitude for the body of Jesus, which should lead to a great level of peace immediately during and after taking the bread. Then while taking communion...

  2. Connecting spirit, soul, and body
  3. Connecting with our loved ones. 

This week we are focusing on connecting with our community. 

 

At the start of The Connection Challenge a client shared some new research with me about how when we take a moment to think of other people our hearts begin to entrain with one another and beat on a similar rhythm.

There have been times where I would bring people I knew to mind while praying and it would start a chain reaction of bringing someone else to mind, then someone else, etc. 

And praying like this seemed to build a connection with those people because after praying our paths would often cross in unexpected ways. 

Today's communion is a time of gratitude that by...

Joyful Thanks to the Father

  2. Connecting spirit, soul, and body
  3. Connecting with our loved ones. 

This week we are focusing on connecting with our community. 

One of the verses that started off The Connection Challenge this month is 1 John 1:7 which says that if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with God and with one another. One of the biggest shortcuts to walking in the light is simply to be thankful. But thankful for what?

Colossians 1:12 says we should be... Giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.

Today's communion is a time of joyful thanks to the Father for qualifying us to share in the inheritance in the kingdom of light....

So far, we have worked on bringing a new level of awe and presence to our time of connecting with God, connecting spirit, soul, and body, and connecting for our loved ones. 

This week we are focusing on connecting with our community. 

One of the verses that started off The Connection Challenge this month is 1 John 1:7 which says that if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have fellowship with God and with one another. We have talked a lot about walking in the light over the last year and one of the biggest shortcuts I have found to walk in the light is simply to be thankful. 

Being thankful in all circumstances helps us stay positioned in the light so that we have fellowship with God and with one another. It takes a decision each day to stay positioned in thankfulness.

Teshuva - Turn it Around

Uncategorized Aug 26, 2022
 

Listen to the Podcast

Here is this week's Yearly Cycle Update.

The 40 Days of Teshuva start tomorrow 8/27/22. Teshuva = turning or repenting. Teshuva is an amazing time of year for answered prayer and making adjustments. 

The next 40 days are a reminder to make adjustments and course correct any areas that are off track. Something to pay attention to is anything that is knocking us out of thankfulness. If you find yourself stepping out of thankfulness turn it around quickly.

These 40 days are also a reminder of God's standard for our lives... To do good all the time.

We all have a tendency to retaliate, avoid people, or give others the silent treatment when others wrong us, but this time of year is a reminder that God has gave us grace even when we didn't deserve it and we are to do the same for others. We can turn tough situations around by choosing to handle them in a beautiful, graceful way. 

Here is this week's filter(reminder) to write at the top of our...
