With a background in education and a heart for helping at-risk youth, he embodies the spirit of entrepreneurship that seeks to uplift and empower others.“If you haven't considered whether or not you're actually adding value and bringing something to the marketplace that people will pay for, it might not end well for you financially, and you may end up hating what was a hobby that you loved.”“At the end of the day, it's not just about bringing home money in a bank account, right? It's like being present and helpful and contributing to those in the community, those in your very close community, your family, right?”“I feel like to be a successful entrepreneur, yes, you've got to have vision. You've got to have a desire for sort of impact and be a little stubborn to bust down some walls sometimes, but you have to be willing and humble to listen.”Adversities Justin had to overcome:· Born prematurely at 2.5lbs, deaf and with cerebral palsy· Financial struggles when starting his business· Relationship challenges with his wife· Addiction is his most personal adversity· Got laid off from his jobAbundance Justin created:· Finding freedom through Christ· Was able to build his first website and was offered a job by a local company· Rebuild trust with your life partnerLessons from Justin adversities· Being present and always adding value· Evaluate your career path and whether it aligns with your passions or solely focuses on financial gain· Be open to trying new things and being adaptable in your career, even if it means taking on multiple jobs or roles simultaneously to provide for your family· Consider your own journey through adversity and how finding a purpose greater than yourself can lead to a more fulfilling life· Recognize the importance of being part of something bigger than yourself and the impact it can have on your personal growth and sense of purposeThe value of abundanceAbundance, as a concept, extends beyond mere financial wealth. It also encompasses emotional and spiritual well-being, relationships, and personal growth. Achieving a sense of abundance requires individuals to shift their focus from material possessions to finding fulfillment through inner peace, love, and service to others. Maintaining a mindset of abundance encourages personal satisfaction and supports the pursuit of a satisfying and meaningful life. In the podcast episode, Justin Rule speaks about his definition of abundance, emphasizing that it's not merely about amassing wealth but about living a whole, free life and serving others. His experiences and insights demonstrate that a focus on character, relationships, and personal growth can lead to a richer, more fulfilling existence. By sharing his journey, Justin encourages listeners to reflect on their understanding of abundance and strive for personal satisfaction through genuine connections and a dedication to serving others. The Importance of Listening and HumilityListening and humility are essential attributes for entrepreneurs to succeed and grow personally and professionally. Active listening contributes to better understanding customer needs and building strong relationships with partners, employees, and clients. Additionally, humility enables individuals to acknowledge their strengths and weaknesses, accept constructive criticism, and remain open to learning from others. These qualities create a collaborative and growth-oriented environment that benefits everyone involved. In the conversation with Jamie Bateman, Justin Rule emphasizes the value of listening and humility in his entrepreneurial journey. By being receptive to feedback and remaining grounded in his values, Justin was better equipped to pivot when necessary and adapt to the changing business landscape. His example underscores the importance of these qualities for both personal and professional growth, and serves as a reminder for listeners to prioritize listening and humility in their entrepreneurial pursuits.Books and ResourcesGood to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don'tWild at Heart Expanded Edition: Discovering the Secret of a Man's SoulConnect with Justin Rule:WEBSITE: https://launchkits.com/LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejustinrule/Connect with usWEBSITE: https://www.adversity2abundance.comLeave us a rating or review: https://www.adversity2abundance.com/reviews/new/ or hereGot comments, feedback or suggestions?

Soteriology 101: Former Calvinistic Professor discusses Doctrines of Salvation
Dr. Leighton Flowers, Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists, gives a brief 10 minute overview of Ephesians 1 from a Traditional/Provisionist perspective as in contrast with the typical Calvinistic reading. The first chapter of Ephesians is a hotly contested passage regarding the doctrine of salvation. The first verse reveals that Paul’s audience is “the faithful in Christ Jesus.” In fact, the “in Christ” theme introduced in the apostle’s opening sentence continues through this entire section of the text. He repeats this phrase, in various forms, ten times in just thirteen verses. I would like to pose a question for objective consideration. Let’s drop any preconceived ideas we have about this text and attempt to answer the question as honestly as we can. How does one come to be “in Him?” Does this passage state that he chose us individually to be effectually placed in him, or does it simply state, “he chose us in him?” Does it teach that Christ redeems us individually so that we might be irresistibly put in him or does it only teach, “In him we have redemption?” Does it say that God has chosen individuals to be in him, or does it say, “in him we were also chosen?” Has God chosen individuals to be placed in Him? Or, has God chosen individuals who are in Him? Put another way… Has God predetermined the individuals to be in the group? Or, has God chosen a group of individuals for a predetermined end? Some focus so much attention on the first 12 verses that they fail to see the last two verses where Paul gives an answer to this vital question; “How does one come to be in Him?” 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. First question: When were they included in Christ? Was it before the foundation of the earth? What answer does the text give? “…when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation.” Let’s continue to read: When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Second question: When were they marked in Him? Was it before the world began and without any regard to their response to the gospel? What does the text say? “When you believed, you were marked in him…” The text seems to clearly indicate that God has predetermined that the “the faithful in Christ Jesus” (vs. 1) will become “holy and blameless” (sanctification – vs. 4) and they will be “adopted” (glorification – vs. 5). (Note: Romans 8:23 clearly indicates that Paul sees “adoption” as a future hope for all who come to faith.) How do we know that we, believers in Christ, will be sanctified and glorified? Because God has marked us IN HIM and given us His Spirit as a guarantee of what he has purposed for all who believe. This passage is not about God predetermining which individuals will be in Christ. It is about God predetermining what will become of those who are in Christ through belief in His truth.

Motherhood as Temple The beautiful and divine mystery of woman. Who was the first temple of Christ? Welcome to The Light of Christ weekly podcast. Light of Christ Anglican Church is located in Georgetown, Texas at MLK and University Avenue. We are a modern expression of the ancient faith. You can learn more about us at lightofchristgeorgetown.org.Last Sunday was Mother's Day and I am thankful for mothers. On today's podcast, we have the sermon from Evening Prayer on what motherhood teaches us about being temples of God. Temples, that's the theme of the Gospel that we read this morning and is the theme that we see here in First Peter chapter two. Peter the apostle tells us that we are living stones being built together to be a house for God. We know from what Paul says that this does not only include us corporately but this idea of temple includes us personally. Our bodies are temples of the image of God. Our bodies are temples of Christ. This is an appropriate topic for Mother's Day. Who was the first temple of Christ? Was it not the blessed Virgin Mary, a young lady who in that moment when the angel came to her with the message of the Lord, of God's love for her, "Blessed are you among women." She said yes to God's love.And in her, Christ was conceived. Christ dwelt in her. She was the first temple. She was the first Christian. You see, women can do something men cannot. And it's a beautiful, beautiful mystery that they join in the very act of creation, the act of creating, not just anything, but creating a person within them. Think about that. An image of God, a little tiny itsy bitsy, little image of God inside of the woman is created and she co-works with God in this creation of an image of God within her. And in this, in her body, she is a temple of the image of God, bringing a life into the world and each and every one of us. (Whether our biological mothers were involved in our life or not is one question) but we all do owe our life to a mom. We owe our lives to this incredible mystery of the female body.Now, not all women have physical children, but all women are called to be mothers. Let me explain. Some women are called to celibacy as their vocation, called to live out their life single for the purposes of God. Mother Theresa is an example of this. Some women are past the age of childbearing. Others never find a husband and others have the great struggle and heavy burden of infertility. Yet motherhood is a much larger thing than just having physical kids. Mother Theresa reminds us that spiritual motherhood is no less real and no less powerful than physical motherhood. All women are called to this beauty that we see in Mary, called to be a temple. And I encourage you mothers out there, spiritual mothers and physical mothers, women who are growing into their spiritual or physical motherhood, to embrace this, that your body is a temple of Christ, a sacred space, and God has called you and invites you to say yes to his love, to let Christ reside in you so that you can bring life to those around you, to your world. Let us thank God for our physical and spiritual mothers.Thank you for listening to the Light of Christ weekly podcast. Let us end our time together with a prayer from The Book of Common Prayer. "Oh God, you have taken to yourself the blessed Virgin Mary, mother of your incarnate son. Grant that we who have been redeemed by his blood may share with her the glory of your eternal kingdom. Through Jesus Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit. One God now and forever. Amen."
Valerie Browning on the choices that led to her life among the Afar nomads of the Ethiopian desert. --- “Why do you protect yourself? Life without risk is not life, it is simply not life.” Valerie Browning is a nurse and midwife who has spent the last 30 years among the Afar people of Ethiopia. She has endured civil war and snakebite, extreme heat and malaria, and nearly died in childbirth. She daily takes on the hardships confronting her people: famine, cholera, infant mortality, illiteracy, climate change, and the real causes of poverty. It’s an unexpected path for someone who was born in England and grew up in country NSW. In this interview, Valerie explains what’s wonderful about Afar life, explains how she keeps going in the face of overwhelming need, and puts us all on the hook for the choices we make in our affluent Western context. “I see in the life of the Afar almost the life of the four Gospels. Where was Christ? Was he sitting in a very comfortable chair? Did he iron his clothes every day? Did he wear perfume? I don't think so. I really don't think so. Because he was with those who were the most neglected in the society. He seemed to be having a good time actually … It's up to all of us, in our own responsibility, in our own belief, to find out whether we're on the right path or not.” --- You can learn more about Valerie’s work and support it here: www.barbaramayfoundation.com Listen to our interview with Valerie’s nephew Andrew Browning here: https://www.publicchristianity.org/missionary-doctor/ Photo credit: Joni Kabana.

The book of Galatians says, the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Exactly what law was a schoolmaster to bring us to faith in Christ? Was it the 10 commandments like so many Christians suppose?
As we continue on with Holy Week, many people will see Jesus on a cross, they'll picture Him as a lowly servant, and one who was meek and lowly. But remember, that is who Christ WAS not who He IS NOW! He is coming back as a CONQUERING MESSIAH!
