Ich hatte das Vorrecht, in meiner Kirche zu predigen und will diesen Input gern mit dir hier teilen. Für die ganze Predigt und den kompletten Gottesdienst, schau auf Youtube vorbei: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jvzt3xKrjMs Hier ein paar Zitate: „Wir wollen nicht einfach nur möglichst viele Menschen anziehen - wir müssen sie in ihrem geistlichen Wachstum unterstützen, damit sie lernen, Gott zu lieben und zu Triebkräften des gesellschaftlichen Wandels zu werden.“ Alan Platt, City Changers Wir sollen so leben, dass unser geistliches Leben in all unseren alltäglichen Tätigkeiten sichtbar wird. „Das Evangelium ist in der Gesellschaft wie eine Ladung Dynamit.“ Richard Foster Die christliche Gemeinde unser größter Schatz. Sie besteht aus Gemeinschaften, in denen man einander liebt und annimmt. Gemeinden, die Freiheit leben und frei machen. Die Hoffnung und eine Perspektive bieten. Die weiterhelfen und zur Verantwortung rufen. Lerne, dich schnell zu entschuldigen. Übernimm Verantwortung als Verwalter der Ressourcen und Mittel, die dir an vertraut wurden. Stelle Fragen und lebe mit mit offenem Herzen und offenen Armen. „Die Bereitschaft, anderen tatsächlich zuzuhören und in einer Welt voller Besserwisser seine Unwissenheit zu zeigen, ist ein mutiger Schritt, der jetzt einen Namen hat: intellektuelle Demut.“ Bruce Grierson, Psychology Today Wie würde Jesus an meiner Stelle leben? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lebenjetztundhier/message

What does it mean to stay "young"? What does it mean to become "old" before your time? Is age chronological, or is it a state of mind? Is aging inevitable? Or is it a conscious choice, one informed by our sense of what’s possible and by the premium we put on unmitigated joy?In “Young Up,” we’re let in on the secret to turning back the clock, thanks to three ageless women who’ve followed their hearts to extraordinary second acts: Kittie Weston-Knauer, a retired school principal and oldest female BMX racer in the U.S.; The Grindmother, a 69-year-old grindcore singer who counts Ozzy Osbourne among her fans; and Greta Pontarelli, who became the world’s oldest international pole-dancing champion after discovering her beloved hobby at age 59. With a dash of priceless wisdom from 8-year-old Anabel Dixon Lee and 9-year-old Scarlett Day, this episode also features social-science writer Bruce Grierson, who explains how our ideas about our own potential and limitations undeniably influence the rate at which we age.

Speaker or Performer: Bob & Julie Petersen Scripture Passage(s): Philippians 3:13 Date of Delivery: December 30, 2018 Redeeming RegretWhat is Regret?Regret is a negative cognitive/emotional state that involves blaming ourselves for a bad outcome, feeling a sense of loss or sorrow at what might have been or wishing we could undo a previous choice that we made.Do People Living in the U.S. Experience Regret More Than in Other Cultures?Regret is higher in cultures such as the U.S., where individuals have more choice over their life's course, versus in cultures with arranged marriages, where family have much more control over life choices.Dictionary:Regretfeeling sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity).sorrow aroused by circumstances beyond one's control or power to repairJulie: “I felt the regret of not having a girl”Studies show that regret is the second-most common emotion people mention in daily life, And it’s the most common negative emotion.-Psychology Today► Regret is actually a God given tool in our learning process.► It is actually healthy for us when we use it as a learning process and not live in it.Sometimes a past mistake is useful as a growth-op and sometimes it isn’t. The wisdom is in knowing the difference. -Bruce Grierson, a social-science writerJulie:We can learn to deal with what causes regret so we don’t have to suffer loss in heavenPeople are afraid to evaluate a situation. 1 Corinthians 3:10-15According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,each man’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward.If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.Joel 2:25-27“Then I will make up to you for the yearsThat the swarming locust has eaten,The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust,My great army which I sent among you.You will have plenty to eat and be satisfiedAnd praise the name of the Lord your God,Who has dealt wondrously with you;Then My people will never be put to shame.Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future. - Early 20th Century journalist Fulton OurslerJulie:Different personalities - perfectionistDon't live your life regretting yesterday. Live your life so tomorrow you won't regret today. -Author Catherine PulsiferWe must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regretor disappointment. - American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker Jim Rohn► Regret is an emotion that needs to be managed properly.⇔ Studies using (MRI) to scan the brain in real time while participants performed computer tasks that asked them to choose between different options for investing money.When participants were shown how they could have done better with alternative strategies (to incite regret), there was decreased activity in the area associated with processing rewards.There was also increased activity in the part of the brain that generates immediate emotional response to threat. Dangers of regret:Stops you from trying things.Can lead to depression.Can cause physical problems such as ulcers.Keeps you from properly evaluating error in situations.The less opportunity one has to change the situation, the more likely it is that regret can turn into rumination and chronic stress that damages mind and body.- Melanie Greenberg, Ph.D. (Clinical Psychologist)Keys to handling regret:Can you do something about it now?Don’t emotionally take on others regret. You can offer suggestions but don’t internalize it.Retrain your mind to force it away from the thoughts of regret that you can’t do anything about now.Believe that God can redeem anything!Julie: People make statements like “I’ll never get over it” or I’ll never be the same”Sometimes there is a process in the redeeming process.We have to recognize actions or words that caused regret♦Philippians 3:13Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead♦Is There Any Value in Regret?Study 1Researchers scanned the brains of three groups of subjects using fMRI technology: Young people with average age 25, healthy older people with average age 66, and depressed older people, also 66 on average. All participants worked on a computer game during the brain scan in which they had to decide whether to keep opening boxes or rest. Each box could contain an amount of money or could contain a devil emblem that meant they lost all their money and ended that round of the game.To incite regret, researchers showed people after each round how far they could have gone to earn more money.There were substantial differences in brain functioning between the healthy elderly and the other groups. On both appearance of the devil and being shown lost opportunities, the young and depressed elderly showed decreased neural activity in the ventral stri-a-dem, the area associated with reward processing. The healthy elderly did not, however, show this regretful pattern when they were shown how far they could have gone; only when they actually lost all their money. Instead, when faced with their missed alternatives, this group actually showed increased neural firing in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex, an area involved in emotional regulation and control.This suggests that their brains were actively working to successfully regulate the pain of regret.Study 2Researchers at Northwestern University, a leader in the field of regret research, found that younger people have shown that regret was rated more favorably than unfavorably, primarily because of its informational value in motivating corrective action.​​​Interestingly, regret was rated highest of a list of negative emotions in fulfilling five functions:(1) making sense of the world(2) avoiding future negative behaviors(3) gaining insight(4) achieving social harmony(5) improving ability to approach desired opportunities

The first question before that, of course, is “Can people really change?” Well the answer is “yes,” but we've all heard about those Road to Damascus changes that leave us scratching our heads and waiting for them to change back, right? Well, Bruce Grierson, author of the book, all about these kinds of changes, and entitled “U-Turn,” is going to talk to us about the mystery of this kind of complete 180 degree shift in a person's consciousness. I read his wonderful article in the March 15, 2015 issue of Psychology Today, entitled “Eureka,” and knew I had to get him for this show. This one is going to be fascinating. Don't miss it.

Bruce Grierson, author of What Makes Olga Run, talks about the life of Olga Kotelko.

Olga Kotelko (see video below) is not your average ninety-five-year-old. She not only looks and acts like a much younger woman, she holds over twenty-three world records in track and field, seventeen in her current ninety to ninety-five category. Convinced that this remarkable woman could help unlock many of the mysteries of aging, my guest on today's podcast, Bruce Grierson, set out to uncover what it is that’s driving Olga. He considers every piece of the puzzle, from her diet and sleep habits to how she scores on various personality traits, to what she does in her spare time to her family history. In the book "", Bruce details how Olga participates in tests administered by some of the world’s leading scientists and offers her DNA to groundbreaking research trials. What you'll get to hear today is not only a tremendously uplifting personal story but a look at which parts of our health and longevity are determined by the DNA we inherit at birth, and which parts we can shape ourselves. You'll discover how your genes, opportunities, and choices forge the course of your life, especially during your golden years. During our discussion, you'll discover: -The fascinating story of Olga and how she has defied aging... -How to discover if you have the the Superstar gene, the Worrier gene or Warrior gene, and how this affects your longevity... -One big myth about stress, adversity and aging... -What Bruce thinks about the new class of telomere activating drugs... -Why plaques in your brain may not be as big an issue as you may think... -The single cognitive-boosting activity that is far more important than Sudoku, crossword puzzles and brain games... -When it is too late for exercise to make a difference... -The surprising truth about exercise intensity... -Why sleeping steadily 8-9 hours through the night may not actually be necessary for longevity... -A trick that Olga does with an old wine bottle that keeps her joints young and supple... -The single most important personality trait for achieving long age... -How you can change your living and working environment to maximize longevity...
