Now breathe out and exhale the trials, concerns and circumstances of the day Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Tell him every detail of your life, believe your breathe is carrying every detail of your life... breath out pain and disappointment release confusion and worry release misunderstandings and problems Now move your breathe in relaxation Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. Holy Spirit we fasten our thoughts on every glorious work of God, and give You praise, amen thank you Holy Spirit Introducing a 26 foot sailboat fixed keel that sits on a trailer making her as tall as a semi truck. And interesting twist.This particular boat she hasn't been out of the harbor for the last two owners. Ah I know she needs some love. In the season of "Courtship," the focus was on being together make sense right? To change seasons we will have more responsibility more room. But there's a measure of risk in acquiring any recreational vehicle especially if we have to believe God that she is sea worthy. What does it mean in our relationships to be sea worthy.
What would it mean to you to live convinced of who you are in Him? What would that mean? And how would your life be empowered to live conscious of how he feels for you? Challenging our MINDFULNESSA sailboat has run aground, with its keel stuck in the sand as the tide retreats. This situation presents a challenge for our mindfulness. Instead of focusing on the negative, let's explore a different perspective. Picture two depicts massive anchors resting at the bottom of a crystal-clear, tropical ocean. How many interpretations can we derive from an image of an anchor? The term "anchor" itself conveys ideas of being tethered, weighty, and immobile. Alternatively, by maintaining a connection with a mindful state, we perceive the image in a new light – feeling secure, grounded, and protected in the midst of a storm. Forever is composed of nows.” —Emily Dickinson

The First Goal of Conversation: Understanding, not Agreement.”— Danny Silk Apple Podcast | Spotify | Audible
Let's talk about being a peacemaker. Our world is a bit rocky right now, with lots of division and conflict. That's why it's crucial for us to learn how to be peace superheroes in our communities, workplaces, and homes. The First Goal of Conversation: Understanding, not Agreement.” — Danny Silk x
Just a reminder: episode transcripts are included in Friday New Episode emails. Once and Done! Ciao. Don't mistake being a peacemaker as avoiding conflict. Conflict is a natural part of life, and it can be healthy if we handle it the right way. Being a peacemaker is about managing conflict in a respectful, empathetic, and productive way. It means seeking out opportunities to bridge gaps and reconcile differences. To be an ace peacemaker, we need to listen, really listen to others. This shows that we respect their perspective and are willing to understand their point of view. It's the foundation of trust and respect, which is crucial for conflict resolution. We also need to master effective communication. This means being clear and concise in our own communication while also understanding the communication styles of others. When we can effectively communicate our own needs and empathize with others, we can find common ground and work together towards a solution. The cherry on top? Practicing forgiveness and letting go of grudges. Grudges only add fuel to the fire, preventing true reconciliation. By choosing to forgive and move forward, we create space for healing and growth. So, let's show the world how it's done. By cultivating the skills of active listening, effective communication, and forgiveness, we can create a more peaceful world for ourselves and those around us. Thanks for joining me today!
Leadership 101As a Pastor and leader is it an honor to work with so many gifted individuals. In this episode we will balance both sides of the page in an effort to grow individually, relationally and discern the Spiritual Gift lending to Peacemaker verses growing in the Gifts of the Spirit in peace making. In many incidences people who are Peacemakers find there redemptive gifts are heavy on Mercy, Giver and Servant. Rightly so, they are selfless people. It is important to know that to left and right of this gift are Prophet, Teacher and Ruler. God purposes balance, ebb and flow, black and white. Personally, my redemptive gift Prophet needs the softness of Mercy and Servant to tame my black and white. Also as many of my dearest friends are peacemakers they are supported by the redemptive gift, Prophet to keep balance fending off enablement. Having PEACE Pour out all your worries and stress upon him and leave them there, for HE ALWAYS tenderly cares for you. 1 Peter 5 :7 Passion As we navigate through life, it's not uncommon to feel like we're constantly battling against stress and chaos. Whether it's with our own inner turmoil, the daily interactions we have with others, or our spiritual journey, achieving a sense of peace can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. However, it's important to remember that finding peace is not impossible. In fact, it's something we can all achieve with the right mindset and tools. First and foremost, finding peace with ourselves is crucial. It's easy to get caught up in our own negative self-talk and self-doubt, but learning to accept and love ourselves is key. One way to do this is through self-care practices such as meditation, journaling, or even just taking a few moments each day to focus on our breath. By prioritizing our own mental and emotional well-being, we can start to build a stronger foundation for finding peace within ourselves. Of course, finding peace with others is also an important aspect of achieving a more harmonious life. This can involve learning to communicate effectively, setting boundaries, and practicing empathy and compassion. It's important to remember that we all have our own struggles and challenges, and by approaching others with kindness and understanding, we can create more positive and peaceful interactions. Finally, finding peace with God or a higher power can be a powerful way to tap into a deeper sense of peace and purpose. This can involve prayer, meditation, or simply taking time to connect with nature or other spiritual practices. By finding a sense of meaning and connection with something greater than ourselves, we can tap into a sense of peace that transcends our daily struggles. Ultimately, finding peace is an ongoing journey that requires patience and persistence. However, by prioritizing our own well-being, practicing empathy and compassion with others, and connecting with a higher power, we can all work towards a more peaceful and fulfilling life. Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.” --Albert Einstein Binge Listens>>
