Romans 3:22-6:23 We are in the Church Stream today as we continue reading from the Lexham English Bible. 7streamsmethod.com | #7Streams | @7StreamsMethod | @serenatravis Commentary by Dr. Drake Travis 3 - this is the finale~ of this chapter. Romans 3 is not just the heart of the power of the gospel chapter. Chapter 3 of Romans is the main heart valve of the gospel. Bible smuggling was mentioned last week regarding Romans. I'll conclude that comment this week by saying that when only a small piece of paper could be smuggled in; something the size of a 3X5 card, then the core of it all needed to be included, the content was Romans 3! It is a marvel what hinges on this chapter. Christ expels our sin and appeases its effect upon our soul and destiny. The new bridge to the "Amazing Grace" song bursts upon the mind; "my chains are gone, I've been set free." Romans 3 is good news that makes sense to us. Paul makes the crucifixion make sense. It is intriguing that the disciples (and everyone else) didn't understand what was happening as Jesus was dying. We do however thanks to Paul's writing to us. 4 - Abraham is the illustration employed here. All to whom Paul is addressing here have top regard for Abraham. The old school Jewish crew that Paul is addressing specifically need to understand God's role in salvation by remembering that Abraham was justified by faith and completely so. He believed and was justified. Done. Circumcision was a ritual done later by Abraham and his son Isaac. Yes, it was the first next thing Abraham was required to do, but it was done after Abraham was justified. To become "children of Abraham", if that is how they were to perceive it, then one needed to simply believe God - like Abraham did. And believing God (like Abraham did) was to now follow Jesus v.s. follow Abraham in circumcision. Abraham's faith in God is what guided him, not his circumcision - that was only incidental. This is vital to put it lightly. New Believers needed to be welcomed by the older believers and welcomed in faith like Abraham was. The issue is not that God made the Jews and the Devil made the Gentiles. This two-leveled stigmatism could become so severe that it would morph into a mental template of Jews circumcised and Gentiles uncircumcised (thus the Gentiles don't really even deserve to be here) that it would become a problem that would hobble the church forever. Paul needed to explain what we find in ch. 4. 5 - is a "wow" chapter. It is loaded with the verses we memorized in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. It's one of those 'gold mine' chapters with no many good finds and discoveries that it needs to be gone over slowly and repeatedly. The theological backdrop is that we find ourselves enswirled in a world of sin living a life of sin. We didn't ask to be born. We simply realize that we are here and it was not our choice. Invariably we opt to sin somewhere along the way and then cannot undo what we have chosen. Adam, much the same way, had to have a horribly sobering moments (perhaps many) during his centuries of life when he slumped onto a rock or chair and groaned, "I just ate a piece of fruit ... I didn't know it would lead to all this mess. I didn't know it would ruin everything for everyone. Is there no remedy? Will it be this way forever?!" Adam's choice cements our choice to disobey. Now, since Christ's righteousness is offered on behalf of all, choosing Him remedies the fact that Adam's choice brought death. Adam chose death and it extends to us. We can choose Christ for His righteousness also extends to us to cancel death. 6 - Life and grace and gratitude and Christ's covering for us are to be our motives in living. To think, "hey, I'm eternally forgiven, no matter what. I'm free, therefore, to keep living in sin for God will redeem me" is wrong thinking. It is desperately immature and a smack in the face who gave His Son for us at a costly price. Someone who is thinking this way, [and there have been many] is oriented completely wrong. It's s reckless to think this way. It's as wrong headed as a rich brat continuing to meddle in crime and saying, "it's fine, my old man will keep paying bail and the attorney fees. I can get out of any mess. No need for me to reform my ways." ... really? A net under a high elevation work site is there in case we fall. It's not installed to be moronically played on all day like a trampoline. Sin has wages that must be paid. Yet greater than death is God's gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and He must be received by us. We didn't choose to be born. We didn't realize that our sin would lead to such a death. But it's all true and it engulfs us. We do have the ability to choose Christ, and we must do so to cancel our eternal death. The Thread through the Streams for this week - "Take it to God" - Moses is thrust into a terrible face-off with the world's most powerful man at the time. Moses has some serious questions and he takes it to God. We see a Moses who is coming to God and coming against a Pharaoh who is fighting against the God who is about to make a move. -David (in I Sam.) is running for his life and takes each day and each event and each step in his heart to God. This scenario v.s. a Saul who doesn't come to God for anything. -The Psalms this week are such a celebration as David is rejoicing in His Lord. He takes his joy to God who gives him joy. And when feeling forsaken, David goes straight to God with it. -Isaiah tells all who are thirsty, hungry, broken, unsatisfied, seeking righteousness to do what? ... to come to God. For His salvation is near. The wicked also are called out for their wickedness. -Hosea is calling for his wife to come back to him just as Israel is called to come back to the LORD: "afterward the children of Israel will return and seek Yahweh their God and David their King." Mark - tells of disciples who are called to Jesus, others are coming to Jesus, craving to get to Jesus, longing to be touched and healed and saved by Jesus. It's beautiful pictures; one after another. Paul's letter to Romans explains the thinking of God and the intricacies involved, the theory of what it is and what allows for us to be able to get to God. It's mind bending and inspiring. Very motivating writing that the world must know

He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do. The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, for they heard the voice but could see no one. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus. For three days he was unable to see, and he neither ate nor drank.

I answer more questions and provide more coaching about investor pitches than anything else. Once you decide that you need investment to grow your company, your task as a founder is to convince investors to give it to you. The first step in that process is a pitch, and getting it right is essential to the future of your business. In this blog, I will share with you my five-step process for building a killer pitch.Read the blog: https://ftb.bz/33B Watch the video: https://ftb.bz/33VThese steps are a process, not a recipe. I don’t have template slides where you just fill in the blanks because we are not playing Mad Libs. Your pitch needs to be unique and crafted to highlight your company’s strengths and relative advantages.As you create your deck consider its purpose and your objective. It exists to get you the next meeting, nothing more. If you generate enough interest and excitement to move forward with due diligence, you have succeeded.The five steps are:· Gather – capture all the information investors might want to learn· Focus – Zero in on the key elements· Organize – Layout the flow of your presentation· Build – Create the actual slides· Polish – Refine your presentation until it singsGatherStart by pulling together all the information that your deck will probably require.Jot down your answer to each of the following questions. Some may require time, research, and analysis to answer well. Here is a link to a worksheet with all five steps and these questions: https://ftb.bz/pitchdeck-worksheet1. What is the business?a. What problem are you solving?b. How are you solving it?2. How will you growa. Go to market plan3. What is special about it?a. Any secret sauce, unfair advantage, etc.4. Why is this defensible?a. Moat, defensible IP, network effects, etc.5. Who is the customer?a. Why do they need the problem solved?6. Competitiona. Why much better?b. Why not just use an existing solution?7. Business modela. How do you make money?b. If not now, eventually.c. Key economics8. Financial projections & roadmapa. Can you survive?b. When do you need more investment?9. Why now?a. Market trends?b. New technologies?c. New opportunities?d. New problems?10. Why this team?a. If there are gaps, own it and answer how you will fill them.11. Current statusa. What have you accomplished so far?b. What exists, and at what level of maturity?c. Customers and traction?12. What is the deal?a. Amountb. Structure – equity, note, SAFE, etc.c. Valuation if setd. Terms – discount, interest, preference, etc.If you don’t have satisfying answers to these questions, you might not be ready to pitch. It would be better to spend time researching, testing, and refining the business rather than pushing forward with developing your deck. With most investors, you only get one bite at the apple. Don’t waste it by going in half-assed.FocusNow that you have all the information that might go into your deck, you need to bring some focus to your presentation. Try to highlight what your audience needs to hear, not what you like to talk about. I wrote a blog on the nine things angels want to see in your pitch: https://ftb.bz/31BTry to keep your explanations at a high level. If the audience wants to know more, they can ask questions or dig deeper in due diligence. Don’t get into the technical details of your product unless it is absolutely required. On the other hand, DO state the obvious. Things about your business or market that are obvious to you may not be to most investors.Thinking of your business as a whole, and referencing the list you made in step 1, what are the best things about your startup? Do you have any business superpowers? What are your particular strengths or aspects that make you stand out? Make a note of that to ensure you highlight it during the pitch.Then, look for a few other things about your company that the audience must understand and remember. Limit yourself to just a few. After a few days, most people only retain 3-5 items from a presentation. Choose yours carefully and make them count.Look for and remove details or trivia that does not need to be in the deck. If the investor does not need to know something to understand your business at a 60,000 ft level, it should go. Every slide, every word, every idea, needs to fight for existence in your pitch. Be brutal in your focus.OrganizeNow you need to pull all those ideas into a coherent structure. A pitch is just a special kind of presentation. For a deeper dive into presentations and presenting in general, check out my hour-long presentation training video: https://ftb.bz/P2VYou won’t be able to get away with creating just one deck. Different contexts require different decks. One size will not fit all. You will frequently need to adjust your deck to fill the amount of time they give you. You should never need to rush or stall to hit your allotted time.You will also need to customize your deck for each audience. If you are addressing a random group of angel investors, you will need to explain some things that are blindingly obvious to you.However, if it is a group of industry experts, they might be insulted by that kind of remedial level information but want to see more details of your solution.Finally, and I have ranted about this in a past blog, create different decks for presenting in-person vs. emailing to be read alone.I want to make a radical suggestion; resist the urge to start using any kind of presentation software at this point. I use 3X5 cards, mind maps, or sticky notes to organize my presentations.The key is making it as easy as possible to reorganize your deck. You need to be able to see everything all at once and shuffle it around with zero effort. For simplicity, I will just talk about my process with cards.Another advantage of jotting just a couple of words on each card is that you can cultivate a Buddhist detachment towards them. You spent no time making them, so it is easy to rip them up and replace or change them. Keep the process as frictionless as possible.Capture on the cards all the information you decided to keep in the presentation and lay them out in what seems like a reasonable order. Mark the headline and key point cards so you can see if they are getting the emphasis you want.The first and last things an audience hears will be the most memorable and carry the greatest impact. If you can, put your headline in one or both of those places. I did a blog on nailing the opening of your pitch here: https://ftb.bz/17BThink about your pitch as a story. Narrative is far more memorable than data, particularly if you invest it with emotion. Is there a way of organizing your presentation so that it tells a story about you or your customers? It could be a story about how you came to found the company or a story about a real or imagined customer. One of my portfolio companies created a children’s picture book to illustrate their product and found it to be incredibly effective in all kinds of contexts. Try to connect all the content in your pitch with a single thread running throughout the presentation.Next, consider the transitions between each concept. Walk through the cards in order and think about what you will say as you advance through them. Does each one follow logically from the one before? Do they build a narrative? Do you make any statements or claims before showing the supporting information or context to understand them? You may need to change the order, add, or remove cards to make things flow smoothlyNow, start practicing the pitch. Do it right from the cards while everything is still easy to change. Present or read (depending on whether it is a delivered or emailed deck) all the way through, making notes and changes as you go. Continue to feel for those awkward transition points. Look for places where the pace drags. Notice if you are spending too much time on less important things. Check whether the key points stand out and are positioned for maximum impact.Fix the problems you found, then do it again and again until it feels good.BuildIn many ways, this is the easy part. You know all the slides that will be in the deck, why they are there, and what you will say about them. Now, go create those slides. I usually start by making a blank slide with the tiny bit of text that was on each card.From there, I start zeroing in on the exact content for the slide, of which there should not be much. Slides must be clean and uncluttered, even for read-alone decks. For delivered presentations, the audience must be able to read it from across the room in a couple of seconds. When someone is reading a slide, they are not hearing what you are saying. Your spoken words carry much more weight than the text on the slide.In a presentation, slides only exist to support and enhance your words. They need not, and should not, stand alone. Steve Jobs was a master of this. When he introduced the new MacBook Air, he talked about how small it was, not with numbers but by pulling it out of a mailing envelope.And the computer on an envelope was all you saw on the screen behind him. Focusing on and reinforcing that one concept made it memorable. Every article written on the launch used that example.If you have enough artistic talent to make the deck look fantastic, great, get to work!If not, mockup the slides, create rough diagrams, and find appropriate graphics or images. Then hand it off to a designer who can make it look professional. With all the content planned out and prepared, it should not cost much to get it looking fabulous.PolishNow is the time to start polishing your pitch to a fine edge. If you will be delivering the pitch verbally, whether in person, video conference, or recording, make sure you know the content inside and out. Don’t memorize the words you will say, but rather the message you want to deliver. Internalize the point and purpose of every slide. A memorized presentation often feel awkward, wooden, and over-rehearsed. The only exception is the opening, which can lead to stumbles, so knowing the first few sentences word for word can help. Practice until you can consistently deliver the pitch, in your improvised words, within the time limit.Next, get feedback from as many people as you can. Ideally, use people who are not familiar with your company, so they better reflect the mental state of your real audience. Find people who are willing to hurt your feelings. You want them to tell you, in great detail, why your baby is ugly. Embrace the power of frank feedback. For read-alone decks, let them read it without you in the room. For presentation, present just like you would in the real meeting.Afterward, don’t just ask what they thought about your pitch, pose specific questions.· Where did they get confused?· Where did they lose interest?· Did the pitch make them excited about the business opportunity?· For a presentation, how was your delivery in terms of energy, eye contact, body language, and vocal tone, and filler words?· Did the visuals and layout of the slides help with their understanding?· Ask them to explain your business back to you. Did they understand the key points you wanted them to?· Watch your audiences for clues as to where they are more interested, dubious, or checked out.Lather – Rinse – Repeat. Keep improving the deck and showing it to new audiences. This process never stops. No pitch is perfect, you can always find ways to improve it, and your company will be continually evolving, requiring you to adapt your content.PitchPitching is not your core business, so it seems unfair that your success or failure could depend on something so unrelated.But it does.Your pitch needs to be amazing because the competition is intense. I see lots of good companies fail to raise funds because of weak presentations. As hard and wasteful as it can sometimes seem, take the time and invest the effort to make yours sing. You may even find that this process helps clarify your thinking about the business.If you use this process to build or revise your deck, I would love to take a look. As an incentive, I will give the first ten submissions detailed feedback over a coaching call. Warning, I am one of those people willing to tell you that your baby is ugly, sometimes in gory detail.
Stay hungry... It was the summer of 1980. I was 13 years old. And I was the hungriest I'd ever been in my life. I was in the middle of my "ordeal," an initiation exercise to gain entrance into a special group within the boy scouts known as the "Order of the Arrow." There was a group of 25 of us who were invited to participate. It was an honor and I was glad to be there. But it was difficult for a 13 year-old because we had to: Spend the weekend working at the camp Remain silent the entire time Sleep by ourselves out in the woods, with no tent or sleeping bag Not eat any food for 2 days Weird? Maybe. Consider it an early testosterone-laden initiation. But you can see why I was so hungry. Staying hungry impacted my thinking Of course, I was nowhere near as hungry as many people in the world are every day, but for a teenager who'd never missed a meal in his life, it felt like I was starving. Though I was plenty busy, it only took about 12 hours of not eating for my thoughts to be on one thing only - food. I wanted to eat. Badly. I couldn't sleep because my growling stomach kept me awake. I was consumed with the thought of consuming something, anything, to satisfy the gnawing in my belly. And to make matters worse, the light at the end of the dark hunger-tunnel was that we were promised that if we made it to the end, we'd be given a lavish banquet. That focused my thoughts on food even more. Staying hungry as an adult When I hit adulthood I began to hear the phrase "stay hungry" in a variety of circles. Because of my boy scout "ordeal" I had a pretty good idea of what was meant by it. Hunger drives you. Hunger keeps you focused (on the thought of food). Hunger won't let you rest. So when I heard sports figures or business gurus say that success requires that you "stay hungry," I knew exactly what they were getting at. They meant that you had to set a goal and keep it before you at all times. You had to desire something, one thing, more than you'd ever desired anything before. They meant you had to become obsessed with that one thing. How should a Christian business person stay hungry? All of that is great advice... if you are your own man or woman. If you call the shots in your life. If you don't answer to anyone. Ever. But those are not descriptions that fit a Christian. [tweetthis]We have a LORD (Jesus). He's made claims on our lives. Yet, He still wants us to "stay hungry."[/tweetthis] How? Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. - Matthew 6:5 It doesn't really matter what your lot in life is (business, homemaking, trench digging, plumbing, etc.), you have the same calling as every other Christ-follower. You are to stay hungry - for righteousness. Nothing can take the place of that desire. Nothing should outshadow it. It's difficult to be THAT kind of hungry in business because there are so many other things to be hungry for... so many other things that vie for that place of obsessive attention: success fame notoriety money growth reputation a greater market share and the list goes on. So what do you do? It's not easy, but it begins at the beginning of every, single day. Getting hungry in the morning Your morning is vital to your day. Even non-Christ-following people know this to be true. (See this post from Lifehacker called, "Do you have a morning ritual?" and this one, "5 morning rituals" from Entrepreneur Magazine.) Whether you've ever taken to a morning "quiet time" or "daily devotional" is not the point. The point is that morning is the time you've got to set your mind and heart for the day ahead. In the context of what we're talking about, the morning is when you've got to stoke your hunger - for righteousness. If you don't do it then, I can guarantee you the competing options that rise up through the busy business day will squelch it altogether. [tweetthis]You've got to set aside some time at the beginning of every day to get your head and heart right...[/tweetthis] ...to put yourself in a place where God is able to create the hunger in you that you desperately need. I'd suggest you create some sort of regular, methodical routine that you follow consistently. For me, it's my "Morning Mindset Reset" which you can read about at this linked post. Whatever it is that you do, you've GOT to do something. If you don't you'll become hungry for other things. You will. Believe me. I've seen it too many times in my life and in the lives of those I've coached or counseled. Staying hungry throughout the day Morning is good. But it's not enough. [tweetthis]Morning can't be your sole time of spiritual hunger. You've got to carry it with you throughout the day.[/tweetthis] This is where it has to get practical. You've got to resort to small, simple things to remind you to say a quick prayer, open the scriptures for a quick bite of spiritual food, or take a deep breath as you rely once again on the Spirit of God. Here are some suggestions: 3X5 cards in your pocket with pertinent verses or quotes to inspire you Sticky notes on the dash of your car or inside your cubicle Alarms on your phone to remind you to rest in Christ, abide in Him, or say a quick prayer Use a service like Follow Up Then to prompt your hunger via email You get the idea. The main point is that YOU have got to do something to remind yourself to be hungry for righteousness. Please don't take this lightly. You won't like the results that come from being hungry for other things. Everything else you hunger for will turn to sand in your mouth and sourness in your belly. The result of staying hungry for righteousness The scripture I quoted earlier is pretty clear. If we hunger and thirst for righteousness, Jesus promises... they shall be satisfied. The clear implication is that we'll be satisfied with what we hunger for, RIGHTEOUSNESS. That's a great deal. One I want in on every, single day. It's my prayer that you do too. (Yes, I am really praying for you as I write this.)
Summary: In this episode I talk about my last week in Las Vegas including putting my back out, how I engaged during my trip and the highlights and insights I encountered. I also discuss the current workout regime I've just started. My current workout is 2 hours and 24 mins per week and looks like this: HIIT you can do twice per week. You can get an app called "Interval Timer" Set it to 12 mins. 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off Jumping squats/ Push ups/ Running on the spot/ Crunches. And repeat! For the weights routine it's twice per week also: Day 1 - DB Press (better for shoulders than bench press) Squats Weighted pull ups (or start with machine that helps you) work up to heavy 3X5 for each one. Day 2 - DB Press Deadlifts Weighted pull ups Aim of approx 2 mins of rest between sets Links: Get The Anxiety Journal here: http://www.timjpcollins.com/journal/ Become an Anxiety Podcast supporter: https://patreon.com/anxietypodcast Subscribe to my Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/timjpcollins?sub_confirmation=1 To get my Toolkit to Overcome Anxiety go to - http://timjpcollins.com/free Please click here to leave a review -http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1031117023 Join the Less Anxiety More Life community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/lessanxietymorelife/
I tend to be a big list maker. Mostly due to the fact that my thoughts are pinging around in me head at a rate that doesn't often allow me to accomplish things in the moments that I think of them. A regular saw me jotting some notes on a 3X5 card I've started carrying with me and led into a conversation that really opened me up to some new angles of looking at the same issue. So much so that I have been super pumped on sharing. The comment he made, I'm sure with no idea that he would be altering how I look at life, was “what are you doing writing down ll the reasons you're so amped up and happy” I jokingly explained I was writing down a to do list before the idea leaked out of my ear. But I started to really think about this contrast. I am a physically imposing person. So much so that customers will often times in passing wonder at what is wrong, what kind of upset I might be or, even if I am mad. 99% of the
