Send us a textReady to transform your teaching with multicultural resources that actually reflect all your students? You've just found exactly what you've been searching for.Representation isn't just a buzzword—it's a critical component of effective teaching. When students see themselves in learning materials, they engage more deeply, connect more meaningfully, and ultimately achieve more academically. Yet finding high-quality, standards-aligned resources that authentically celebrate diversity remains challenging for even the most dedicated educators.That's precisely why I've created over 70 culturally responsive lesson plans that take the guesswork out of inclusive teaching. From "Your Name is a Song," which helps students explore the beauty and significance of diverse names, to "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind," which incorporates engineering concepts through William Kamkwamba's inspiring story, these resources seamlessly integrate cultural awareness with academic rigor. The "Cinderella Around the World" unit introduces students to various cultural versions of the classic tale, enhancing critical thinking while exploring both universal themes and unique cultural perspectives.Shop Lesson Plans in this episode:1) Your Name Is A Song Lesson Plan:  https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/your-name-is-a-song-lesson-plan-4/2) I Am Enough Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/i-am-enough-lesson-plan-3/3) The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind Lesson Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/the-boy-who-harnessed-the-wind-lesson-plan-2/4) Cinderella Stories From Around The World Unit Plan: https://jebehedmunds.com/shop/lesson-plans/cinderella-stories-from-around-the-world-unit-plan/Sign Up for Our Inclusive Educator Newsletter to get a coupon code for all lesson plans only for our subscribers: https://tremendous-motivator-3920.kit.com/a46bfbcba3 COME SAY Hey!!

Welcome everybody who's here, everybody who is chiming in online. My name is Andy, I'm one of the pastors here along with Pastor Jan and Pastor Shane. If you are new, we do want to connect with you. We have the connection card for that. We have some in the lobby here in person. If you fill one out and just give us something for your information, ask us any questions we'll get back to you. And if you do fill it out and you're a first time attendee, we would be happy to send you a gift online, you can fill out that card on our website on the Facebook stream, probably. And you can fill it out on our phone app, so we want to connect with you. We know that we might have some people chiming in around the Christmas season for the first time in a while.Today, we are going to continue in the book of Matthew. We have been in Matthew the last four weeks for our Advent series and we're going to continue in Matthew for the next several weeks. And Matthew, this section Matthew is really relevant at this time of year. Matthew is setting the stage for what life is like in Christ's new kingdom. He has come he has been born, the Word became flesh at Christmas and it's a changing of the age. It's the time of the New Covenant for the Kingdom of God and with that comes changes with Christ's kingdom. And so, in the beginning parts of Matthew, Matthew is laying the framework for what life in Christ's kingdom is like. So, as we turn into the New Year, this is a great book, great section of scripture to just refocus ourselves on the Word of God and get some redirection, realignment to His direction.So today, I have the privilege of preaching through Matthew 3:1 through 12, and this is about John, the Baptist coming and preparing the way for Jesus Christ. I wish I could say I grew my hair out in honor of his bohemian nature, but I just have not been able to get a haircut yet, in this busy season. But we're going to read from Matthew 3:1 through 12 as our word from scripture today.In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.'" Now John wore a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."Thus sayeth the Lord. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we praise you for this day. We praise you for this season of Christmas that reminds us of you're coming into the world, man, us, we by our own power, we have tried to justify our being. We've sought righteousness on our own accord and we've received, we've landed in nothing but darkness. But you Lord, you came, you broke through the darkness and into the light, you revealed your power, and Lord, for those of us in Christ, we are free from the darkness in which we once lived. Lord, we praise you for the hope that we have in this message, but today, Lord, let your power be made clear to us, Lord, shake us to the core by your power and remind us of the power that is working within us as we march forward as your servants in your kingdom in this life. In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.So, what a lovely Christmas passage. There's just enough fire and brimstone in here to scare anybody away who's in this Advent, in this Christmas season, just been inspired to come back to church after maybe a hiatus. I'm joking, I'm joking. We can derive a lot of encouragement and edification from this passage and it's hard to see through, just to read this text. There's a lot of intense details, but I think what Matthew is getting straight at is he's asking, "What are you seeking?" That's what he's asking you in this little section of scriptures. Still at the beginning of his chapter, what are you seeking in Christ in His Kingdom? If it could be put more plain, "It's why are you here today? Why are you viewing today right now?"If you're seeking anything other than the true and good King, the Lord Jesus Christ, looking to lead a lifestyle that is glorifying to His name, His kingdom, if you're not doing that, your motives are wrong, you're coming with the wrong heart. So, why is this important to Matthew? Matthew's writing in the decade or two after the ascension, the life, the ministry and ascension of Christ into heaven and Matthew has seen people fall away at this point. Matthew is a Jew. His gospel is primarily to Jews of his day. That's his target audience. He's seen a lot of them come with the wrong motives. He's seen some thinking that the Messiah would come and we can keep our traditions.We can keep our temple life, our worship life, just add a little bit of Jesus, here and there, incorporate those hard teachings only when it's convenient. And when the gospel is pushed against the lives of these people, he has seen them fall away. He's seen those false motives come out. And Matthew at the beginning of the gospel, he's putting John right here to call us, take this seriously. So, again, I ask, "What are you seeking?" That's what Matthew's asking. That's what I'm asking you today. "Why are you here today?"I have to start with this intensity, too because it fits the nature of the text. That's what John, "Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand." He's an intense guy, so I have to begin with the tone of the text. Are you coming to continue to live a life of clean religion and only incorporate the hard teachings of Jesus particularly to repent? Matthew gives us this imagery of Christ's kingdom being ushered in by a bohemian in the wilderness. He dresses in wool and animal skins, eats bugs and honey to tell us that you are not in the right place.Gone are the days where worship is centered at the beautiful ornate temple. And now, the means by which God is going to do his work, the way he's going to get his message out, takes new form in the preaching of the gospel by simple men, not priests. Are you coming here simply to dabble into Christianity? See what all the hype has been about through history. Maybe like the Pharisees and Sadducees. You heard there's a good preacher here? I'm sorry, Pastor Jan is not preaching today, but you want to come and see what the hype is about. Maybe you're thinking as many teachings have been helpful to me in my life, maybe Christianity provides something it's had quite a track record in history, maybe you'll pick it up like your yoga or CrossFit phase.Matthew communicates clearly that through John's message, he calls them brood of vipers of these evil snakes. Just even sometimes the babies will kill their mother, I've read in my research. Now, this insult, these are evil intentions. And then he takes at the end of this section, he takes him to the eternal stakes that are involved when one considers Christianity. Its eternity with life with Christ or its unquenchable fire. Christianity isn't just something you dabble into. We get a lot of international students that come in and out throughout the year. It's like taking up the arts. It's like taking up a new course of study to them. No. Christ wants your worship. He wants you to acknowledge him as King with every era of your life.Are you here because of Christianity or Judaism or even both are in your family heritage? And you really just want to retain that heritage of that part of your family's history. I mean, at Christmas, that's the perfect time to chime into a sermon to experience the nostalgia of life. With those in your life who are actually real Christians. You miss them, but God doesn't want just empty worship. He doesn't need his self-esteem build up. He's altogether sufficient, satisfied in himself. The text says, "If He really wants worshipers, he can turn stones, raise them up into worshipers." God doesn't need you. He wants a relationship with you because He loves you. If He really is the all holy, all powerful, all knowledgeable, unchangeable, eternal being of the universe, the best thing he can do is give us to him.Maybe you're here because you simply want help. You want help with your problems but you don't really want the teachings of God or God Himself. Maybe you're just attending to avoid hell. This seems a little more innocent, but Matthew gives the second half of verse seven. He says, "Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" He's saying that sarcastically to the Sadducees and Pharisees, the perennial opponents of Christ and the New Testament. They're not coming out with the right motives. They're seeing, "Can this be something that I add to my life." They're not really thinking about their sin, their need for a Savior, a Messiah, a King to come to bear the burden further sin and God just crushes that down.So, we're not to come to Christianity. John and Matthew, they make it clear, we're not to come to Christianity for the sake of tradition, to try to improve our lives, to carry on aspects of our religious or family heritage or even escape hell. What's the point then? Why consider Christianity why consider a lifestyle with repentance from sin at the center? There certainly seems to be a lot of opportunity costs. We might be missing out a lot in life by taking this path. Why take this path of repentance that John, the Baptist that Jesus Christ called his followers to? And that's exactly what I want to talk to you about today. That's the last few verses of the section of the Scripture.One to nine call readers to really evaluate their motives of what they're bringing to Christ and 10 through 12, there's a second emphasis. Verse 10, there's talk of a chopping axe. There's talk of the might of Christ. There's talk of the Holy Spirit and fire that believers received from Christ. Verse 12, there's talk of the winnowing fork and unquenchable fire. This is talk of the power of God. I want to talk about the power of God today because heading into 2021, sorry. Heading into 2021, this is a topic that we need. Passing on rightly preached on the hope that we have and through our faith in Christ alone on Christmas Eve, but I want to remind us that as Christians, we have access to the power of God.One of the great tragedies about Christianity is that people don't know Christianity is powerful. There's a lot of believers that are limping through life. Just, they're afraid to even talk about this topic for appearing too charismatic or crazy, but a lot of people in the church, we don't really see other believers exhibit this knowledge of the power at work within them and outsiders. They certainly don't see that from us, but the reality is that any of us here who know the power of God personally know that that is the distinguishing feature the selling point of Christianity. It's what makes it unique. It's what gives us the ability to not just persevere, but to thrive in all seasons of life. It gives us joy to lead lives of repentance while living for the glory of our king. Like John, it gives us the courage to go before others, to call them to repentance, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.So today, I want to talk about the power of Christianity. I'm going to ask two questions, what is the source of Christianity's power? What does the power of Christ actually bring to our lives? So, what is the source of Christianity's power? And so, notice in our passage, how John has described. It really does not tell us about his personality. Yes, we can read into it, we can apply like he's this mystical guy with this unique dress, but that doesn't really talk about it. We just know that he preached, "Repent, the Kingdom of heaven is near." Furthermore, we find that he had a good following. People from all Judah, and Jerusalem and the Jordan River. People flocked to him. Some modern theologians think he had a following that tapped into six figures.There was something powerful about his ministry. He was the first prophet that entered into the course of redemptive history in 400 years for the people of God. So, people were thirsty. They were starving, but we should read that he's a simple man and really the one thing that we have, the description of him that really we should be focusing on is John is a voice crying in the wilderness. Mark and Luke, they talk about John, the Baptist. They give us a little more background information. Matthew intentionally keeps it plain. He's a voice crying in the wilderness. Sorry, Boston life is getting the best of me.Matthew has shown us throughout John's ministry, the power of Christianity is not in the messenger, not in the mastery of the teachings by a person, not in the complexity of words, but with which the message is delivered, not in the location in which it is delivered. The power of Christianity is in the message of Christianity itself. I've heard it said before, Christianity says it's not what you do, but the gospel does to you. It's not something that I take up, it takes me up.Romans 1:16. We rarely go week without talking about this here at Mosaic. The gospel is the power of God and to righteousness to the Jew first and also the Greek. What's the gospel? It's the Greek word evangelion, it means "Good news." It's not the message. It's that I must muster up strength and save myself. That's not good news. Okay. How many of you tried that for years? I did that years, 23 years of my life, just got nothing, but despair and exhaustion. How many of you tried that in 2020 over and over? Lord, how am I going to have the strength to do this? What's the message?God has done something about my salvation. In his infinite glory and holiness with full knowledge of every rebellious deed that I've done, every prideful thought that I've had, He has chosen to do something to save me. That's why we celebrate Christmas, that's why we make such a big deal about it every year. God has visited his people. Despite man's failure, his tendency to lean on of all his own wisdom, He has come. All of man's sin and efforts and failure to find God on his own, they bring him to darkness, but he enters into creation, he brings the light he brings the power. The Bible is often misunderstood. It's often depicted as a chronicle of man's pursuit of God. That is wrong. That is not Christianity. That's not why we take up this pursuit. That's not the Christian message.The central message is that man has sinned against God as Adam did in the garden, so we all do and God comes after us, seeks us, as He did with Adam and Eve. He covers our sin. When we get physically baptized, we're participating in something that does not show the end product of our pursuit of God, but reveals that God has pursued us. It's an outward sign of an inward change that was completely initiated and carried out by the Holy Spirit of God, simply because God chose to love us. Christianity, the power is in that God always makes the move to save man. It's in believing in this message that we may know the power of resurrection in our own lives. Like just by faith, we get access to this power, this knowledge that God saves us.Scripture says that before Christ, it's a life of powerlessness, Ephesians 2:1 through 4. I think I forgot this in the slides. "And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience - among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind."Life apart from Christ, we are powerless. We're just following. Satan is labeled as the prince of the power of the air. We're just following the course of the wind and the world. Whatever is thrown at us without the ability to discern what is right and wrong, without the ability to truly love what is of God, but that is us no more. We have lives of power. Paul, in Ephesians 1:16 through 20, he wants readers to grasp the power that has come to us in our salvation."I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places."Let's meditate. Do you know this power, the same power that rose Jesus from the grave is what caught us out of the darkness, the death to our sins in which we once walked. We have newness of life. We don't just get it at salvation. It continues. The gospel is the power of God. It seems too simple. It seems too simple to believe. I was watching a movie, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, on Netflix. It's really out of character as a Netflix release, very wholesome entertainment.And just the boy, he goes to school his whole life while his family are farmers in Malawi, probably age 12, 13, and a severe drought comes to the land and he has to stop going to school, but he still gets access to the library and he reads about power. He reads about windmills with the drought, as famine starts lots of rioting in the land. And he goes to his dad and he says, "Dad, if we build this windmill, I can power a pump that will pump water from our well constantly. We won't be dependent on the seasonal rains." And the tension of the movie is that the dad because he's not educated, he just can't understand that this power from the wind can be transformed into electrical power that powers the pump.And that's just the view of a lot of people with Christianity. It's the simple message: Salvation in the life, death, resurrection, ascension and return of Jesus Christ that is offered in Christianity is can give us power, can give us peace that we don't know apart from it. It can give us full knowledge of ourselves. It can give us freedom from the sins that have weighed us down all of our lives. It's too good to be true to simple, but it's the Word of God itself. So, we need to just meditate. The gospel is the power of God. If you are saved in Christ, you have, you know this power.But I want to say, what does the power of God do? More specifically, how does it work? What does the power of Christ actually bring to our lives? Verse 10, through 12, again, it taps into it's like an axe laid to the root of the trees, it chops down. We are baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire. It's like it burns with unquenchable fire. From this text today, it says, "The Power of God chops things down. It burns things up."Matthew 9:16 through 17, Caleb prayed this text, tapped into it. There was no talk between us. Jesus talked about the effect of the power of God, the power of gospel as it interacts with something. Matthew 9:16 to 17, "No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment and a worse tear is made. Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."The power of God rips. It blows up everything that it mixes with. You can't put new wine into old wineskins. The power of God represented here by the fermentation. It's going to burst. The power of God is a destructive power. If a person, a spirit, an idea, a law goes or stands against it, ultimately, the Lord is going to burn it up like chaff. Why? This is what John said, "Christ alone is Savior and King." There's only one way to God, one way to salvation, that's the King Jesus Christ, the Promised Messiah of all the Old Testament prophets, the one who fulfilled the law. He alone conquers and reigns over everything in his path. Nothing in the world has blown up things like the gospel.Jesus came and even the law of God comes to an end. He doesn't abolish it, but he is the only person in history who had the power to fulfill it. Paul, I tapped into this a couple of weeks ago, the wisdom of the world can't stand against the power of God. I preached about this two weeks ago. It's blown up. It's proven foolish. I talked about how the birth of Christ. God shows man's foolishness in sending his King to be born in a small town like Bethlehem.Paul says in 1 Corinthians 1:18 to 20, "For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?"Jesus ultimately chops down, smashes everything working against him. Take His power seriously. This is what John is saying, "Anyone coming to baptism with the right motives, anyone coming to salvation in the Lord knows this." John says, "He is mightier than me. I am not worthy to carry the sandals of his feet." In those days a student might carry the sandals of his rabbi or his teacher. They were basically lower than a slave. John says, "I am not even worthy to do that when you consider the power of this King, Jesus Christ." and Jesus tells John, says that John is the greatest of men at one point in Scripture when he affirms John's ministry.The power of God destructs everything that opposes it, but even as Christians, we know this, we know this destructive power of God. If you don't know anything about the destructive power of Christ personally, you don't know anything about the power of the gospel at all. Every true Christian knows that when Christ comes into your life, He immediately starts burning up all of the infirmities, the remnants of you, the remnants of the old man that are left from your old life. You're declared righteous upon salvation, but we're not fully holy.That won't come until Jesus Christ returns until we die, until Jesus Christ returns in a spiritual sense and in a physical sense, upon his re-establishment of creation. Jesus Christ, He burns up these remnants of our old selves and as we're spiritually reborn, just like Adam and Eve experienced in the garden, the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin, leaves us guilty and hopeless, clung to cover up our shame, all knowledge that we based our lives off of, our wisdom of the world that we're rooted in and it explodes, our understanding of our own goodness thrown out the door. What does Paul say about his own righteousness? The most holy, the Jew of Jews, the Pharisee of Pharisees. He considers all of his goodness as dung, skubula. But the Spirit of God doesn't stop there.Having burned us, smashed us, God begins creating us anew, like the new wine fermented in the new bottles. We're convicted of sin, stripped of our pride, proven weak, unable to help ourselves, and then the Son of God takes hold of us. We finally see our need for him to be our Savior. He needed to go to the cross for us. We need it to be given his righteousness, we need in return to make him Lord and honor Him as God. We begin to see life in a new way. We see God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, life, death, everybody else in this world anew.And that's the work the text talks about. We receive the Holy Spirit upon our baptism, but the fire continues after our salvation. It's a purifying fire for the rest of our lives. It's this power that separates Christianity from all other religions. We actually experience it. We actually can change in this life. We actually can thrive in not just the peaks of life, but in the valleys. When we experience the resurrection power of Christ in one season, we know that we will have it as we march on.Like I am so tired from 2020. It's been in this situation with kids at home most of the time. We have COVID still continuing, we have just who knows what's going to happen with the election results, just lots of other tensions, and by God's grace, I haven't had to deal with a lot of the troubles that a lot of people have dealt with in this year, but I'm tired. Like where do we derive strength? Where do I get it? Where do all of us get it to march forward and in a faithful manner that honors our Lord and Savior? Like we have it already.It's this power that John called the Pharisees and Sadducees out about, he knew they didn't have it when they came to see him. How can someone have it? In verse eight, John provides the answer. Bear in mind with keeping with repentance. What is repentance? Metanoia, the Greek terms it means to change one's mind. It can be from the right thought to the wrong thought. In Scripture, it takes on a new aspect. It's a complete change in one's ways. It means to forsake evil, prideful, sinful ways in order to live rightly to God, out of thanksgiving for what he has done for you in Jesus Christ.Just more formally, I just love this, the Westminster shorter catechism says, repentance unto life as a saving grace. We can only do it because of God's help. Whereby a sinner out of a true sense of his sin and apprehension of the mercy of God and Christ does with grief and hatred of his sin turn from it unto God with full purpose of and endeavor after new obedience. There's a change in mind, which leads to a change in heart, which leads to a renewed and vigorous commitment to the ways of God. I've rebelled against Jesus as Lord over my life, but now I receive his reign over my life. Lord, let your kingdom come, let your will be done in my life.Why must we keep with repentance? In keeping with repentance, we're saying, "God, I trust you, as I always should have. I trust your ways. You are my King. You are my Lord. You are my Savior. You make my path straight. I will even say no to things that I desire in the flesh, things that the old man still wants, apart from you, because I trust that following your way is better for me, and more glorifying to you. I was made to function in this way." Repentance is the enactment of faith in one's life. "Christian, do you repent? Is repentance, the posture of your life?"I was talking to a person recently, grew up in the church their whole life and they're telling me that the only time they think of the gospel, that Jesus Christ came and lived the life that they could not, that the death that they deserve, that rose from the dead, conquering sin once and for all, ascended to the right hand of God the Father and will come again, this humbling, humbling story that I said, it's God coming to us, pulling us out of the darkness. They said, they only think of that when they commit a sin.As Christians, this can't be the case, it has to be our daily meditation. "Lord, I am saved by your grace. Apart from you, I was a child of wrath pursuing my own way, yet you stepped in and saved me." And when we have that posture constantly, we want to please God, we want to live under his commandments, we have compassion for those people in our lives who don't know this grace, who don't know this power, who are walking into 2021 dead and have no reserves. Is this the posture of your life? It needs to be constant? Wake up and say, "Lord, I'm your child. I don't deserve this. Help me to live in a way that is honoring to your name and acknowledges your grace to me."Nonbelievers, what do you think about Christianity? Why are you listening? Why are you here? Going into a New Year, do you think turning a new leaf, turning a new page is sufficient for the change that you want in your life? Are you still looking at your own weakness and yet trusting in your own power? Are you still looking at Christianity as a means to add to your repertoire for tools of self-improvement?"Repent, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. His winnowing fork is in his hand and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." You don't have to face that you can trust in Christ. That's really what John is communicating through the intensity. Imagine a life filled with the power of God. If you're a Christian, and you've forgotten the taste of that power, upon your salvation, upon being reborn in Christ. Imagine the power of God not working against you, but for you. Let the power of God destroy you. Let it make you anew and keep with repentance. Let me pray.Lord, we are humbled that by your grace, we are your children. We have rebelled against your rule in our lives. We can look to the heavens. We can look within ourselves and know that there is a creator. Yet, we've suppressed that truth in our lives. Even those of us who you have saved already, Lord, we still rebelled against your power. Lord, you are gracious to us. You are long suffering with your love toward us. You are steadfast in ways that we are not steadfast.Lord, help us to lead lives of true thanksgiving for what you have done for us. Let us enjoy the freedom Let us enjoy the burn of the sanctification that we have. And Lord, just let us have true compassion in this coming year for those of us, those neighbors around us who are hurting, who are hopeless, who are fighting the sin in their heart, who are weighed down by the guilt, embarrassed by the shame of their sin and don't know how to deal with it. Lord, let us be the means by which you introduce others to your power. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

We're back! For this week's episode, we have one of Sanika's close childhood friends, Sandhya, as our special guest! This week we discussed the law of attraction and it's power in our everyday lives. We also touch on whether the law of attraction could be applied to whole societies for larger issues and the effect what we call "negative manifestation." The movie Sanika mentioned at the end is called The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, and it relays the story of William Kamkwamba, who built a wind turbine to save his Malawian village from famine. It's a really inspiring movie, and we would definitely suggest watching it. Thanks again for tuning into this week's episode!

I'm someone that will often draw inspiration and wisdom from all over and I have to say that the movie "The Boy who Harnessed the Wind" was full of things to inspire. Much kudos goes to Chiwetel Ejiofor. Three things that stood out to me wre tips that could be used for any business owner or speaker. The only spolier here is that the movie was excellent. 1. Act and people will invest 2. Ideas always sound crazy when they are still an idea3. Sometimes you have to change your surroundings.

Enchanted by electricity as a boy, William Kamkwamba wanted to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that devastated his family's farm and left his parents destitute. Unable to pay the eighty-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died. But William refused to let go of his dreams. He embarked on a daring plan to bring his family a set of luxuries that only two percent of Malawians could afford--electricity and running water.
