2 Timothy 1:1-13 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, a beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Timothy's Faith and Heritage I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Not Ashamed of the Gospel Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Be Loyal to the Faith Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/biblebulldog/message

Thinking back to our episode on The Great Resignation ("I Quit"), we consider the pros and cons of Loyalty. The pros, you say, are obvious: strong relationships, deep trust, better communication, authentic personalities... Yes. We agree. But, if we know that we want these traits, why we sometimes dip our toes into the cons of loyalty. The cons? How about: "yes men," a reluctance to speak truth to power, lack of creativity, selfish behaviors. In short, Darth Vader ran a tight ship with legions of people getting the job done, but I doubt Death Star's culture was flourishing. So, how do you strike a balance with loyalty?

2 Timothy 1:8-14 (CSB) Not Ashamed of the Gospel 8 So don't be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me his prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 10 This has now been made evident through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher, 12 and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me[c] until that day. Be Loyal to the Faith 13 Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 14 Guard the good deposit through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.

2 Timothy 1:8-18 New King James Version   Not Ashamed of the Gospel 8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher [a]of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. Be Loyal to the Faith 13 Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. 15 This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. 16 The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 17 but when he arrived in Rome, he sought me out very zealously and found me. 18 The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day—and you know very well how many ways he ministered [b]to me at Ephesus.

In my book Sell From Love I do a deep dive into the five protector strategies we use when we feel fear, uncertainty, doubt, guilt or the pressure to meet expectations.  The 5 protector strategies are perfection, pleasing, proving, performance and punishment. I've fallen prey to these more often than I'd like to talk about, and overtime have learned what I need to pay attention to and the triggers that activate one of these protection strategies. It's made it easier to manage and even avoid because I know whenever I do something outside my comfort zone, inadvertently I can evoke a need to prove, perform and please. My guest today, Nancy Smith is a licensed Professional Counselor with eleven years in private practice and has spent over two decades working as a counselor and coach. She is an expert in High Functioning Anxiety where she helps successful, driven, type A professionals see through their perfectionism, people-pleasing, and tendency to compare themselves to others as a manifestation of their high functioning anxiety. In this episode Nancy enlightens us on what the difference is between trusting ourselves and being loyal to ourselves like we would to others. You may not always trust or believe in yourself in that moment however as you move forward to that goal, task or conversation. However when you approach it with a loyalty towards yourself where you are kind and compassionate to yourself no matter what the outcome is - your presence, power and leadership are transformed. Nancy gives us a way forward a simple 3 step process on how to overcome the tendencies to please, compare and be perfect and manage the voices going on in our head so you can go out there use your brilliant difference to make a meaningful impact to your clients and company. I can't wait for you to listen to this episode and get inspired to be as loyal to yourself as you are to others Nancy Smith shows us her way.   Episode 10: Be Loyal to Yourself, Even if You don't Always Get it Right With Nancy Jane Smith appeared first on Sell From Love.   PS: If you loved this episode please head on over to Apple Podcasts to rate and give us a review.

In this episode, I discuss the Crown Act and how it effects women of color with Natural hair, in the workplace or at school. It's a very crazy thing for something like this to have to be in place, simply because Natural hair isn't deemed 'kept' enough to be presentable in certain spaces. I talk about my own natural Hair journey and some simple products I use for my routine. This week's shout-out goes to the Beautiful Naptural85, Ms. Whitney, and all her Natural hair efforts as a vlogger. She also has a natural hair care line 'Melanin Care' that you should check out as well. Get into ALL she's doing and support her. Like & Share this podcast.

In this message, Pastor Zachary Rainey shares a thought-provoking message titled, “Be Loyal” as part of our series Luke: Jesus in Action. Join us as we read Luke 22, verses 1 through 6 and examine the choices and actions of Judas who betrayed Jesus. We will discover that loyal followers of Jesus will contend for their good name, consult with godly people, not consent to bad influences, and consecrate their personal resources for the cause of Christ.

What makes us part of Israel? When we follow/fulfill the commandments of the Father.   John 14:15-21 Names of God Bible (NOG) 15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another helper who will be with you forever. 17 That helper is the Spirit of Truth. The world cannot accept him, because it doesn’t see or know him. You know him, because he lives with you and will be in you. 18 “I will not leave you all alone. I will come back to you. 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. You will live because I live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me and that I am in you. 21 Whoever knows and obeys my commandments is the person who loves me. Those who love me will have my Father’s love, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.” Deuteronomy 4:1-6 Names of God Bible (NOG) Moses Reminds Israel to Be Loyal to the Lord 4 Israel, listen to the laws and rules I am about to teach you. Obey them so that you will live and be able to enter and take possession of the land that Yahweh Elohim of your ancestors is giving you. 2 Never add anything to what I command you, or take anything away from it. Then you will be able to obey the commands of Yahweh your Elohim that I give you. 3 With your own eyes you saw what Yahweh did at Baal Peor. Yahweh your Elohim destroyed everyone among you who worshiped the god Baal while you were at Peor. 4 But you were loyal to Yahweh your Elohim and are still alive today. 5 I have taught you laws and rules as Yahweh my Elohim commanded me. You must obey them when you’ve entered the land and taken possession of it. 6 Faithfully obey these laws. This will show the people of the world your wisdom and insight. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, “What wise and insightful people there are in this great nation!”

Leadership lessons from Dean Smith, applying faith-based principles while leading in a secular environment, the importance of failing and more!   Bio: When you think about leaders throughout the history of sports, it wouldn't take very long to get to University of North Carolina Men's Basketball Coach Dean Smith. And today, we have a guest with us who not only played for Coach Smith, but has become an extraordinary leader in his own right. David Chadwick is the senior pastor at Forest Hill Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, a church that has grown to over 6,000 congregants on multiple campuses since he first arrived in 1980. He hosts a weekly radio show, and is also the author of: “It's How You Play The Game – The 12 Leadership Principles of Dean Smith,” as well as his newest book: “Hearing the Voice of God.” David and his wife Marilynn have three children and four grand-children. Interview: Let's get the important things out of the way first: how do you expect the Tar Heels to do this season? Three starters back and three reserves back, so should be pretty good Freshman Tony Bradley is expected to be great We have a relatively young audience, many of whom didn't have the opportunity to observe Dean Smith while he was still coaching. Can you tell us about him both as a man and as a coach? Began at UNC in 1962 Lost a lot early; student body wanted him gone twice Brought in a great class in '65, including the first African-American player at UNC and in the ACC – Charlie Scott; Coach felt program integration was important based on his Christian beliefs Led to three straight final fours in '66-69 The 70s were huge with great players before winning his first NCAA title in 1982 with Michael Jordan Won the title again in '93, before retiring in ‘97 ESPN studied the greatest coaches (all sports) between 1975 and 2000, and Dean Smith was #1 Won more against Coach K than Coach K did against him Won 879 games, two national titles, Olympic Gold Medal (1976), NIT title Let's talk about your book It's How You Play The Game. Since we won't have time to go into all 12 principles, could you mention each of them here at the top so our listeners know what we're leaving out if they want to go get the book and fill in the gaps. Be loyal, Provide a family environment, Be a friend forever, Put the team before the individual, Be flexible with your vision, Get better, and the team gets better, Speak positive words, Pass on what you know, Be a person of good character, Make failure your friend, Know who really is in control, Commit yourself for the long haul Three overarching core principles People are first Mark 10:45 – “Son of man didn't come to be served but to serve.” Coach Smith gave himself to his players Creating family environment Example with starting point guard accused of some trouble; Coach played him and kept him in the game even though he didn't play well at all. Lost the game and was okay with that in order to build up that player. Be Loyal (p. 31-32) I was struck by Ademola Okulaja's quote when talking about how Coach Smith would encourage players who were ready to go ahead and leave, even though the team would take a short term hit: “It's different here…coaches really do put us number one…Many programs squeeze the players out like an orange and then throw them away. But there is respect and honor here…therefore, there is a certain obligation not to let each other down.” Talk if you would about that culture Ademola is highlighting. Coach Smith always said if IBM offered you $10M for three years I would say go and set yourself up for life, and then come back for your degree. He encouraged players to do what was best for them, even though it would hurt the team in the short term But that created loyalty from the players to the coach, and the team was better, and he was able to recruit other players Provide a family environment (p. 57) – Could you tell us a bit about the relationship between Coach Smith and Pat Sullivan, as it pertains to Pat's father? Michael Jordan quote – “Other than my parents, there is no one bigger influence in my life than Coach Smith.” Pat's father was an alcoholic and was not part of Pat's life But when his father was going through a difficult time and Pat was struggling with whether to help him out, Coach Smith encouraged him to do so; to love his dad even if it wasn't earned Put the team before the individual – In some ways this may seem to contradict some of the prior discussion about championing the wishes of the individual players (i.e. going pro early). Can you talk about how those two work together? Not a contradiction Overarching core value is people are first, but then also the team is first If he gives loyalty to the individual, they know it is there, and then they play harder than ever for the team Empowering the individuals create such a loyalty among the players that they play harder for him and go through a brick wall (follow-up) re: taking standing by your players to far? Leads to third overarching core value – character first Believes that a person's name is more valuable than anything else Must honor God before anything else Not afraid to fail Extreme humility Would never operate in a way that would impugn his character or his faith in God that would make God look bad; so when confronted with those tough situations, he would work it out in a way to support his player but do so in an open/honest way; this would teach the player to operate with character as well Make failure your friend – Talk a bit about how Coach Smith viewed failure, but also if you could share some of the personal story you tell in the book about the transition you attempted at your church. In third overarching core value of character first, he though one of the ways character was formed was through failure Believed failure only bad if you didn't get back up and learn from it 1964 team – question was whether Coach Smith would make it through the season. He said your reputation is what other people think of you; your character is what you think of yourself; Coach Smith then went home and read “Beyond Ourselves” by Catherine Marshall. Much of life is out of our control When he realized he couldn't control how others thought of his coaching, it was profound, and all he could do was trust God through failures, and trust the results would come. And think about that it was 18 years from 1964 to his first national title in 1982…so that is long time of living by faith and through failures before seeing the ultimate goal achieved. When David led his church through a transition: Hear your people, learn from them, keep moving forward Celebrate the process once completed Make failure your friend; only a problem if you refuse to get up again Know who really is in control This may be a tough one for many of our Type A leaders out there. Walk us through what this looks like. Focus on process and not outcomes Day-in/day-out disciplines, principles and choices If you do the right thing over and over again, trust God with the outcome Avoid the snare to compare How should our faith impact or influence how we lead, particularly in a secular organization? Jesus is the example If you are one of his followers, we are called to follow/imitate him Mark 10: 35-45 – when James and Mark asked to sit at his right hand; Jesus told them to serve John 13: 1-13 – when disciples are arguing over who is the greatest; Jesus came in and washed their feet (served them) Jesus submitting himself to his Father by coming to earth as a human man in order to serve Our call is to use our position to serve people and help them to be the fullness of Christ in their positions and their jobs as best you can; to wash their feet; to discover their gift and help them succeed in that gift They will then want to work hard for you to help the organization be the best it can be You have a new book out Hearing the Voice of God. Why did you write the book and what can we expect from it? Purpose is to use the gospel of John as a daily devotional to hear the voice of God Best way to know whether God is speaking to you is through his Word Divided the book into a four month devotional Reflection of David's heart Help people sit down and listen to God each day. Do you have any habits or routines that have been key to your success? Daily protocol that builds healthy habits Habit of hope in your heart is key David's morning routine Exercise/job – just 30 minutes means a lot Quiet time – 30 minutes with the Lord; reading scripture; what is this saying? What is it saying specifically to me? Breakfast This creates physical, spiritual and mental health (follow up – Daniel asking about whether David is the ringer on the staff basketball team) Where can people go to learn more about you and where can they pick up the books?
