Live Well. Finish Strong.

Last week we started talking about 3 Emotional Epidemics raging through our culture. There's a vaccination and a treatment plan available. They really do work...But you have to learn to "work" them.

I found a vaccine for the 3 epidemics raging among us. With COVID-19 still around we’re all mindful of the dynamics of disease and it’s spread. I believe there are 3 sources of unhealthiness that are deeply affecting our culture, our relationships, and our health. Have you been vaccinated?

Great friends having a great conversation about a great topic - POWER! I've wanted to talk about these issues for years. You have more power than you realize. It shows up in your relationships, your plans and dreams, and in how you feel about yourself. Check it out. We're using Andy Crouch's book, PLAYING GOD. Get it and join us.

“You make me mad!” Most people don’t realize the power they are giving away when they make statements like that. Let’s talk about the power you have to manage your emotions.

We’re starting a new conversation about POWER. What is it? Who has it? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? What does God say about it? What does it have to do with my everyday life? If I had more of it would I handle it any better than the people I believe have it right now? Why don’t we trust it? What’s gone wrong?

Hey, do you ever stop to see if you’re where you wanted to be when the year started? You should. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." If you keep doing what you're doing right now will you end up where you want to be?

The #1 one relationship mistake most of us keep making. Why are so many of our relationships challenging, disappointing, and downright unsuccessful at meeting the needs we thought they would meet. I believe there’s one thing most of us keep doing that sabotages our relationships. Let’s talk about it.

Never THIRST again! Let’s follow up from last week and talk about the ONE THING we could do during this weird COVID-19 thing that would make the most difference in our lives.

ONE THING! Make it about your ONE THING. What is the ONE THING that IF I do it makes this a good day of progress?    

FIND THE EDGE... where is God inviting you into an adventure of growth and expansion? In what area of your life, your heart, your soul, your relationships is God saying, “Chipper, I’ve got something really special for you. But you have to come and get it.” Here’s a good place to start.

Find the edges of your comfort, confidence, and competence. Idnetify and embrace your growth opportunities buried in this season. Put COVID-19 on your payroll. Make it work for you. Here’s a practical idea on how to get some good out of this weird, troubling, once-in-a-lifetime situation.

Making COVID-19 work for us! In virtually any situation there is good that we can walk away with. Even if the situation is bad. Let’s talk about how to use this awkward time to move us forward.
