How to Have Fun and Win Like Bryson DeChambeau & the Boston Celtics Bryce Johnson and guest co-host, James Metsger, unpack how Bryson DeChambeau ended up winning the U.S. Open while having fun…and how, as followers of Jesus, we can enjoy life and have fun with Him. Today's Questions: 1. What does it look like to have fun in a way that brings glory to God? 2. How do we balance having fun with taking our responsibilities seriously? 3. Does finding enjoyment in life mean that we have to put aside emotions such as sadness and mourning?

03.17.2024: 'Forrest Allen Ward's Words,' a daily column ... intended to encourage and support. "With all the fervent fluff bouncing around about God, when do we settle on the truth that God is our Creator? He has not harmed us but woos us into a direct relationship for our lives to work better and our relationships to thrive boundlessly. We are not alone. We should hold spiritual truths to be sacred. Once we experience that God is always our constant source of what is right in this life, then we see His Handiwork everywhere. Moses became a sheepherder for his father-in-law. While tending those sheep, Moses had the experience of God being with him. He reasoned that if God is inside me, then He is in the hills, the air, the waters ... He is Present in and with everything. Why? Because God made it all. Though terrible things may happen, our strength comes from God being our Source. Every evil comes from our departure from God and His Presence. God is alive and draws us closer to Himself every day. We always do well when we humbly come to God and praise Him for His Blessings toward us! God never leaves us but draws us toward Him ... to be in fellowship with Him. We have the gift of God every day. Hold fast to your faith. We are not alone, so why attempt to say otherwise? May each experience align you with His Being." - Forrest Allen Ward #ussuccesscenter #newpossibilities #leadership #significance #success #executiveleadership #leadershippresence #results #powerconnector #authenticleadership #network #globalcollaboration #leadership #workplaceculture #corporateculture #leadershipdevelopment #salescoaching #salesdevelopment

People.

Recently have been my busiest period of the year, both in my volunteer and professional responsibilities. Over eight years of my professional career and volunteer work, I always strive to be the best. I believe everyone is the same, giving their all to achieve excellence. I am now 29 years old, and since I was 18, I often find myself standing up for what I believe is right. I genuinely feel good when I successfully make compelling arguments. Winning is addictive because it feels good. While driving alone last week and contemplating the events of the past days, I realized that sometimes, in our quest to be the best, we forget to be good people. I started to question whether being right always means that I have truly won. Reflecting on my spiritual beliefs, I remembered that as Christians, we know our Savior Jesus Christ was always correct. However, He focused on being good rather than merely being right. Despite being spat upon, mocked, and crucified, He remained good, knowing He was right. So, let me ask this question again: Knowing that you are correct, did you win? It may depend on the situation, but I am certain that if we forget to be good and focus solely on being correct, we might be considered winners, but we risk losing a friend, a colleague, peace of mind, or the people we love. One of my favorite books, "Preach My Gospel," mentioned, and I quote, "Humility is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of strength." Be humble, be patient. Remember that a good man cannot be put down.

His Promising Orders Always Leads in the Right Direction

Ironically goes both ways.

You have a spiritual enemy who is out to steal the goodness God has planned for you. In this study we will study the strategy the enemy uses to try to steal your blessings and how to counter those strategies. May this teaching of the Word bless you and your family. Blessings and Love, Pastor Walter

Welcome to May, everyone! Let's start this month with the powerful message: "Go ahead, be fully engaged in pursuing your assignment. Be assured that you will succeed because God is with you." This message conveys courage and faith, encouraging us to confidently go out there and fulfill our purpose. Remember, taking action is crucial! "You must go out there" insists that we should actively pursue our purpose and throw ourselves in it. Your life cannot be left to chance. You must go to it; it will not passively come to you. Have faith in God, and it will be a strong foundation for confidence. Having faith in God will release the courage to step outside our comfort zone and pursue our goals. But we must also have a clear understanding of our purpose, as it defines our assignment and guides our actions. Collaboration is key, and we should engage others to help us. Besides, fulfilling our purpose involves serving others in some way. Let's be confident, use our faith, and pursue our goals with all our hearts. Remember, "God is with you!
