Episode 14 – A Fresh Perspective on Different

With whom do you think of differences as being refreshing? That neighbor with a political sign different than yours? That coworker who does things in the hardest way possible? The one who is always finding fault? Or always positive? The family feuds? The one with the cup half full? Or empty? Differences are perspectives. For those who don’t hold your views, are you the one different? Or are they? The answer to both those questions is yes. It is all perspective. And here’s the game changer. Realizing differences don’t have to create enemies. I am excited to share with you an opportunity I had this week to engage in a conversation with someone VERY different from me politically and spiritually. But the similarities so far outweighed the differences that by the end of the conversation, the differences didn’t matter. I have a new friend. And I don’t care who she is voting for! This is what I want you to hear: Your personal life can be better. Your community can be better. Your business can be better. All by prioritizing the discovery of similarities. Set aside the differences and see the impact it makes! Who could stretch you out of your comfort zone? Where could you glean some fresh perspective? What could be possible if you just laid down that difference? If you found similarities much weightier.

Episode 13 - Yes, You Are a Leader!

Leadership is for all of us. It is how we lead ourselves. It has to do with how we look at those around us who need assistance accomplishing what they are called to do just as much as it has to do with positions or titles. We all have opportunities to lead in a way that encourages and makes a way for others when they can’t do it alone. In this episode I want to share with you three specific examples of people who lead well and lead in a way we can emulate. I call it Relational Leadership. Along with those examples, I want you to see the common thread in each one. Each of these leaders:

- Stepped into difficult situations first

- Made a way for others to get through the difficulty to their destination

- Came along behind them and sealed the deal

The bottom line is that you can do this. And the more you do this you will realize not only can you do this, but you get to do this. Leading relationally is what we are all called to do! Who comes to your mind as you listen to this episode? Has anyone led you in this way? Is there someone that comes to mind whom you can lead?

Episode 12 - Unoffendable and Responsive

In this world we live in, it can be hard to stay calm, loving, and peaceful. Especially when situations that anger, grieve, and sicken us are all around. I have been given the message of “loud is not a language” and yet, this past week has been one of the hardest ones I have had to live that out. To not be loud in attitude or reactions. But those who follow Jesus have been given a mandate. One to surrender our own ways to His. And that’s just nothing but hard. Until we do it. Then the peace that accompanies that surrender reminds us of the better way.

In this episode I want to remind you and me of 3 things: God doesn’t need us to defend Him. He wants us to listen and respond accordingly. This is the only thing that will bring lasting change. What could the world look like if collectively we remained unoffendable, listened for God’s voice (not what we think God would say, but what He really says), and responded accordingly to what we heard?

We have truly walked into the beginning of what scripture talks about when it says everything that can be shaken will be shaken. Those structures we have held dear are toppling, and it is time to re-examine who built those structures. And why. And what we need to do now. In this episode we will look at:

- Our own hearts Man-made structures we have exalted

- What the toppling of those structures might mean

- What is our responsibility in it all

I don’t pretend to have the answers. But I am sharing my heart around the table with those of you who might be experiencing some of the same questions, revelations, and shakings. I believe that together we are better. That’s why Jesus calls us “the body”. And it is my hope that together, unified in Him, we can rise up to be the light He originally intended.

See you around the table!

To own our mistakes, to take responsibility for them, is hard sometimes. Especially when we struggle with admitting we are wrong. A natural human reaction is to deflect error and blame other people or adverse circumstances. That is a victim mindset. A place where we give others power over the choices we made. We can shift our mindset to one of power by taking responsibility for our actions, the consequences to those actions, and the correction to those actions. Those are the humble and courageous acts of very few in this world we live in. But they cause others to pay attention and take notice. They create space for positive influence. There is power associated with taking responsibility. Giving credit to others is something else we don’t see enough. People want to take credit for themselves and give responsibility to others. But it is in the noticing of others, the calling out of their good and helpful deeds, the giving of credit to those positive things we see that we begin to build relational trust through an integrity that doesn’t have to be first. An integrity that doesn’t have to be first itself, but enjoys seeing others rise up. Taking responsibility and giving credit require a personal accountability that leads to greater integrity, influence, and positive change. In this episode we talk about three ways taking responsibility can impact us and others:

- Personal Growth and Accountability

- Fostering Trust With Others

- Inspiring Others to Make a Difference Doing the Same

I invite you to listen with an open and courageous mind to discover how to better rise up in your personal power, stop giving it away to others, and encourage others to do so as well.

Episode 8 - ELECTION TENSION DOESN’T HAVE TO BE RELATIONAL TENSION

For too many years, election season has been a source of contention for families and other important relationships. The issues about which we are passionate have become the measuring stick for our relationships, and I am not sure when this all started but I have certainly had it in my face since 2016.

What is it about issues that we allow them to rise higher in priority than our relationships? Do we believe we ARE the issues we stand for? Have those things become our identity? Granted, the issues we stand for are important. I am not belittling them. I greatly value the freedom we have to vote for them. I am simply suggesting their importance not be prioritized above people.

Three things I share around the table in this episode are:

• How to stay true to your convictions and still value relationships with different convictions
• How to value people as people despite differing issues
• How to simplify what we have complicated and build up what we have torn down a bit

All we really want as humans is to be seen, heard, known, and loved. We can give those gifts to others without compromising a single value. This episode talks about how. I invite you to come join me around the table!
