Notes:
Gratitude changes everything. So embrace a grateful mindset and heartset, focusing on what you have. Experience the mysterious magnetism that increasingly attracts what is good and aligns with God's purpose in your life.
To whom or what are we grateful? Can we be abstract or vague about gratitude?
I believe that as we are first grateful to our Creator, then we condition and position ourselves to be authentically grateful to others … in whatever context we relate to them: family, friendship, business/work, our place in the larger world, and so on.
Gratitude is like PRIMING a PUMP. Surprisingly, as we decide to be thankful, it releases a spring of gratitude, a flow of thankfulness.

Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
Wednesday Mar 23, 2022
It takes a village, right? Not in the Kingdom. The "village" is probably in the way of you experiencing the best and highest as an apprentice of Christ! The real potential is likely in small Kingdom clusters. Do you need to move the needle on something? What is your "village?" Learn how to deal with it as Jesus and Peter did.

Your Mountain Move (Godspeed Episode! Ep 173)
Thursday Feb 25, 2021
Thursday Feb 25, 2021
Moving mountains in your world are related to something much greater than yourself. "Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low ... and the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together" (Isaiah 40 NIV). Ultimately, mountain moves in our lives are about the fame of the Lord and a Larger Story. What Jesus said about Mountain Moves is astonishing. (Part 1 of 2)

076: Kingdom Smart: Your Tongue Steers It All -- Brent & Pastor Bruce McLaughlin
Thursday May 30, 2019
Thursday May 30, 2019
Not too long ago, the Holy Spirit prompted me to get and stay in the "Rudder Zone." See James 3:4 in the New Testament -- James writes that the tongue steers our life like the rudder on a ship. Even in the face of opposing, circumstantial winds. Don't flinch in the face of difficulty. Don't budge, yielding to negative incidents. Stay consistent with your faith language ... and you will journey in Christ's Big Story with Godspeed!
