CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When leading, if we put others ahead of ourselves and our own needs, the process is natural and fulfilling. If we are worried about how we will look, or how we will be perceived, we will be riddled with anxiety and our ability to lead effectively may be hindered.

Philippians 2:3-4

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

All tagged, also one FNG (Hype)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Everybody point North with me (I point south). Everyone pointed south at first and then got confused and tried to figure out where north was by looking around.

What just happened? You all looked for evidence of where north was. At first you looked at me, but evidence of the sun contradicted my account.

When you are looking for truth, you don’t close your eyes and try to feel it out. You look for evidence, but you also have to test that evidence with other sources of truth.

My main source of truth is Jesus who made the claim, “I am the way, the truth, and the life”.

I challenge you all to test that truth claim and see how it holds up. And see how it changes the way you live.

Anniversary stuff coming up soon!
