Episode Summary: This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I want to take some time to talk about something that is so important but often misunderstood—mental health, especially in the context of our faith. For too long, mental health struggles have been shrouded in stigma—especially in Christian circles. Maybe you’ve heard things like: “You just need to pray more.” “If you had more faith, you wouldn’t struggle.” “Christians shouldn’t be anxious or depressed.” Have you ever heard these statements? Maybe you’ve even said them yourself at some point. The problem is, these kinds of messages aren’t biblical, and they can actually do more harm than good. So today, we’re going to break the stigma surrounding mental health in the church. We’ll talk about: What the Bible really says about mental health Why struggling with mental health doesn’t mean you lack faith How we as believers can better support those who are hurting I pray that today’s episode will encourage you and help bring light to a topic that desperately needs to be discussed. Quotables from the episode: Some people believe that if we’re struggling emotionally, we must be failing spiritually. But that’s just not true. The Bible is full of stories of faithful men and women who wrestled with deep emotional pain: David, a man after God’s own heart, poured out his despair in the Psalms. He wrote in Psalm 42:5 (NIV), "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Elijah, a mighty prophet, was so overwhelmed with despair that he asked God to take his life (1 Kings 19:4). Job, a righteous man, suffered so much that he wished he had never been born (Job 3:11). Even Jesus Himself experienced deep sorrow. Isaiah 53:3 calls Him "a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief." The presence of mental and emotional struggles does not mean we lack faith. It means we are human. God doesn’t dismiss our struggles—He meets us in them. Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." If you’re struggling today, I want you to hear this: God sees you. He cares. And He does not condemn you for your pain. Can God heal? Absolutely.Does God answer prayer? Without a doubt.But does struggling with mental health mean you’re failing as a Christian? Not at all. Think about physical health. If someone has diabetes, do we tell them, “Just pray more, and your blood sugar will be fine”? Of course not! We encourage them to seek medical treatment, eat well, and take care of their body—all while trusting God for healing. The same applies to mental health. Anxiety, depression, and other struggles are not signs of spiritual weakness. They are real, complex conditions that can be caused by many factors—biology, trauma, stress, spiritual warfare, and more. Seeking help—whether through counseling, medication, or other means—doesn’t mean you lack faith. It means you are taking wise steps toward healing. James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Wisdom includes knowing when we need help—and being humble enough to receive it. If you’re struggling, please know this: Your pain does not disqualify your faith. Your struggles do not define you. God is not disappointed in you—He is with you in the struggle. So, how can we, as the body of Christ, do better in supporting those who are struggling with mental health? 1. Stop the Stigma Let’s be careful with our words. Let’s stop shaming people for their struggles. Often, people can figure out what to DO for someone, but they often stumble over what to SAY. In my private practice, and through my own personal struggles, I’ve found this to be a huge stumbling block. There are definitely things NOT to say: “It’s all in your head.” “Snap out of it.” “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.”(All of these things convey a lack of sensitivity to the pain they are experiencing. You’d never say these things to someone who has cancer, and depression is just as much a medical diagnosis.) “This too shall pass.”(That is true, but it doesn’t make someone struggling with depression feel any better. Even a tornado passes, but it leaves damage and devastation in its wake.) “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.”(First of all, many with depression consider suicide, so it’s never a good idea to joke about dying. Secondly, most with depression don’t care about getting stronger, they just want to survive.) “Others are worse off than you.”(Isn’t this true for everyone? But saying that doesn’t even acknowledge the pain the person with depression is in. And why is their pain any less valid?) “I know how you feel.”(If you’ve never struggled with depression, you don’t know how they feel. Even if you have experienced depression, the situation and symptoms and complicating factors may be entirely different. It’s better not to even try to compare.) Helpful things TO say: “I love you.”The person with depression often can’t love themselves much less believe that others love them. They need to hear this now more than ever, even if they don’t believe it. “I’m here for you.”Someone struggling with depression feels so alone. They need to know that others care enough to be present with them in their pain, rather than trying to fix it. “You are important to me.”When struggling with depression, self-esteem is often at risk. They feel all alone and need the assurance that their standing in your eyes and your life doesn’t change just because of the depression. “I’m sorry you’re hurting.”While I do not recommend saying you know how someone feels, I do suggest you offer kindness, compassion, and concern for their pain. “Is there something I can do for you?”Often, our actions speak louder than words. When you offer to help, you enter into their pain. They may not know how you can help, but by asking the question, you open up the opportunity for dialogue. “You may not believe this now, but you won’t always feel this way.”When one is struggling with depression, the whole world looks black, and the future seems to offer only more of the same. It can be helpful to encourage them that this is a season, and they won’t always be in this place. “What might help you feel better?”This can help them start to think pro-actively about things that help, and can clue you in on how you can support them. For example, if they mention that they always feel better after a walk, offer to walk with them. “What might be making your depression worse?”This can help them step back and take a look at things they need to change (e.g. sleeping too late in the morning may leave them feeling lethargic and sluggish all day, so setting an alarm to get up earlier might combat that), and can also help you better know how to support and pray for them. “We will get through this together.”Depression can leave one feeling incredibly lonely, isolated, and as if no one cares or understands. This simple statement conveys support. You aren’t trying to change them or solve the problem, just be present.Remember, someone else’s experience with depression isn’t your fault and you can’t “fix it” for them-only God can do that. But you can support. Say nothing.Words get us into trouble so often, when really, just being present often conveys much greater support than having the perfect thing to say or advice to try to make things better. 2. Encourage Professional Help God has gifted counselors, therapists, and doctors with wisdom to help. Seeking help is not a lack of faith—it’s an act of wisdom. 3. Offer Practical Support Mental health struggles can be isolating. A simple text, meal, or kind word can mean the world to someone who’s struggling. While we can be prone to feel helpless to help someone with depression, particularly if we have never experienced it ourselves, there are some practical things we can do to help: Enter into their experience with them and be present. Offer to make a doctor’s appointment for them, and offer to go with them. Make plans with them. Even if they decline, keep offering. Ask how you can pray for them, and pray with them. Remain encouraging and positive. Meet tangible needs (i.e. car pool, pick up grocery items, run errands). Be willing to just sit and be with them. Convey there is hope. Pray With and For Them Prayer is powerful. Instead of saying “Just pray more,” Pray with and for them. But let’s not use it as a substitutefor real support. Let’s walk alongside those who are hurting. Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Let’s be a community that lifts each other up, rather than tearing each other down. Friend, if you are struggling today, I want you to know: You are not alone. Your mental health matters. Your pain does not define you. And God has not abandoned you. If you need help, please don’t suffer in silence. Reach out to a trusted friend, pastor, counselor, or doctor. You are worthy of support and healing. And if you know someone who is struggling, I encourage you to be the hands and feet of Jesus to them. Let’s break the stigma. Let’s create a church culture where it’s okay to not be okay—because that’s where healing begins. Scripture References: Psalm 42:5 (NIV), "Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Galatians 6:2 says, "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Reverend John Jegasothy, a long-serving priest in the Uniting Church and a dedicated servant to the Tamil community, sheds light on these questions. - உலகெங்கும் விமர்சையாகக் கொண்டாடப்படும் கிறிஸ்மஸ் விழா உலகிற்குத் தரும் செய்தி என்ன? கிறிஸ்து பிறப்பின் அர்த்தத்தை நாம் எப்படி புரிந்துகொள்ள வேண்டும்? விளக்குகிறார், பல வருடங்களாக Uniting Church மத குருவாகக் கடமையாற்றியவரும், தமிழ் சமூகத்திற்கு தொடர்ந்து சேவையாற்றி வருபவருமான அருட்திரு ஜோன் ஜெகசோதி அவர்கள்.

What if your beliefs about feedback and coaching timelines are holding you back? Guest host Colum Lundt, CEO of CoachEm, takes the helm to interview our regular host, Matt Benelli! Both are co-founders of CoachEm and share the myths and misconceptions about coaching sales teams. Matt dismantles the notion that coaching yields immediate results, likening this misconception to expecting instant mastery in swimming. They advocate for feedback that strikes a balance, highlighting strengths while pinpointing areas for improvement, and the power of self-assessment that transforms coaching into a nurturing ground for growth.Navigating the murky waters of management can be daunting for new leaders. Our discussion uncovers the universal struggle of setting expectations and the weight of maintaining accountability within teams. Through candid anecdotes, they uncover why some managers shy away from difficult conversations and the all-too-common trap of wanting to be liked. By modeling self-accountability and utilizing strategies like setting clear goals, holding regular one-on-one meetings, and providing timely feedback, managers can foster an environment of responsibility and success within their teams.Finally, Matt explores the art of leadership through preparation and engagement. We highlight how leaders like Mike Myers and Bill Belichick exemplify humility, discipline, and adherence to team values. These seasoned mentors teach us the importance of thorough preparation, the strategic use of "commander's intent," and conveying messages from higher-ups in an inspiring way. Matt reflects on how building a team around shared values paves the way for long-term success.Chapters:(00:00) Building Coaching Cultures(15:27) Accountability and Effective Management Strategies(31:48) Effective Leadership Lessons Learned(43:32) Coaching Lessons and Leadership AttributesTakeaways:Long-term Investment in Coaching: Sales coaching is not about immediate results. It's a long-term investment in behavior change, similar to learning a new skill. Sales leaders should approach coaching with patience and commitment, focusing on gradual improvement over time.Balanced Feedback: Effective feedback should be balanced, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. Encouraging self-assessment among team members can create a more constructive and positive coaching environment, promoting growth and development.Accountability and Modeling Behavior: Sales leaders must hold themselves accountable before they can effectively hold their teams accountable. Modeling the behavior they wish to see in their teams is crucial for setting clear expectations and maintaining accountability.Structured Management Strategies: Implement structured strategies such as setting clear goals, tracking progress, and providing timely feedback. Address underperformance immediately to prevent issues from escalating, and maintain regular one-on-one meetings to reinforce accountability.Leadership Beyond Directing: Leadership involves preparation, engagement, and composure under pressure. Convey motivational messages effectively and focus on building inclusive environments. Use the "commander's intent" concept to guide teams towards common objectives.Learning from Notable Leaders: Emphasize humility, positivity, and adherence to team values as demonstrated by leaders like Mike Myers and Bill Belichick. Investing in managerial training and focusing on shared team values can lead to long-term success.Commitment to Self-Development and Curiosity: Encourage a commitment to self-development and foster a culture of curiosity within the team. These traits can be developed and are essential for continuous improvement and effective leadership.Effective One-on-One Meetings: Maintain the importance of one-on-one meetings with team members.

Dark and light side of Venus in relation to the spirits of Mercury vs the straw and stubble Arcana Coelestia 7170. The spirits of Mercury appeared at the left in a ball, and afterward in a roll stretching a long way, and next in a mass extending in length; and I wondered whither they desired to go, whether to this earth or elsewhere, and presently I observed that they bent themselves back to the right, and by unrolling themselves approached the earth Venus, on the side that is turned away from the sun. But when they came there, they said that they did not desire to be there, because the inhabitants were evil; therefore they bent themselves round to the other side of that earth, which looks to the sun, and then said that they desired to stay there, because the inhabitants were good. When this had taken place, I felt in the brain a remarkable change, and a strong operation from there. From this it was given to conclude that the spirits of Venus who are on that side of the planet were in accord with the spirits of the planet Mercury, and that they have relation to the memory of material things, which agrees with the memory of immaterial things, which the spirits of Mercury constitute; and therefore a stronger operation was felt from them when they were there. 7131. To gather stubble for straw. That this signifies to find some truth of memory-knowledge, 1 is evident from the signification of “stubble for straw,” as being the truth of memory-knowledge, for “stubble” denotes such truth as is accommodated to the memory-knowledge that is signified by “straw.” That “stubble” denotes such truth is because it is the stalk in the top of which is the seed, and by “seeds” in the word are signified truths and goods; thus by the stalk which is beneath them is signified the general vessel of truth, consequently the truth of memory-knowledge; for the memory-knowledges of faith and charity are indeed truths, but general truths, thus are the recipient vessels of particular and singular truths, as can also be seen by everyone. For example: it is a truth of memory-knowledge that charity toward the neighbor is the essential of the church; also that faith cannot be except where charity is; and likewise that truth and good can be conjoined, but not truth and evil, nor good and falsity; besides many similar truths, which are truths of memory-knowledge. That these can be enriched with innumerable things, can be seen from the fact that volumes can be written about them, and yet the singular truths, which are the interior things of faith, can never be described, for these can only be seen in the light of heaven, and do not fall into natural words. These truths are like charity, which is spiritual affection, and which for the most part cannot be expressed by words, except its most general things, namely, those which put on a natural dress, and which can be compared with such things as are in the world. These things have been said in order that it may be known what general memory-knowledges are. The planets in relation to the spiritual sun vs the spirits in relation to the head 7171. Be it known that the sun of this world does not at all appear to any spirit, nor anything of its light; for to spirits the light of our sun is like thick darkness. This sun remains in perception with spirits solely from having been seen while they were in the world, and it is presented to them in idea as something that is intensely dark, and this behind them, at a considerable distance, in altitude a little above the plane of the head. The planets within our solar system appear in a fixed position relative to the sun: Mercury behind and a little toward the right; the planet Venus to the left, a little behind; the planet Mars to the left in front; the planet Jupiter in like manner to the left in front, but at a greater distance; the planet Saturn wholly in front at a considerable distance; the Moon to the left rather high up; the satellites also to the left,

Introduction Here is your 2-minute tip wrapping up the 30-part series based on the book, “Plain speaking: How to preach and teach effectively" by David Bercot. I'm not going to attempt a comprehensive summary, but instead offer a charge. Preach Christ John the Baptist heralded the Kingdom, Jesus preached the arrival of the Kingdom, and he sent his followers to do the same. The good news is that the kingdom is here, and all can enter to receive the life of Christ. Make that the core of what you preach. In other words, teach doctrine, but preach Christ. Explain the text and its meaning, but do not make the text the point - instead elevate Jesus. Convey your convictions, but do not let your personal agenda obscure Jesus. Contemplate these statements of the Apostle Paul: 1 Corinthians 1.23 - “but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,” 2 Corinthians 4.5 - “For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.” Galatians 1.16 - “to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, my immediate response was not to consult any human being.” When preaching, ask yourself how Jesus will be glorified by your lesson. What are your thoughts on the today's tip? Conclusion Next week I have some tips for when you are asked to speak outdoors. Has today's tip been worth two minutes of your time? I hope so.

Don't lose your readers. Just tell them what time it is.The passage of time seems intuitive. It just happens, right? (Like, whether you want it to or not. Time and tide wait for no man, etc.)Here's the thing, though. If you don't tell your readers that time is passing in your novel . . .. . . they won't know.It seems wild, I know. It feels like time passing should be obvious. But I promise you, it's not.Luckily, conveying the passage of time to your readers is simple (and it doesn't take a lot of words to do it!). And in this episode, I'll tell you exactly how it's done.You'll learn:Why you need to both show and tell time passing in your story2 ways your readers understand that time is passing3 techniques to “tell” your readers time is passingAnd more!This is one of those elements of storytelling that feels tiny, inconsequential, like your readers will catch on without you needing to think too hard about it.But trust me, it makes a big difference. I've read so many manuscripts that are missing any indicators of time passing. And they make me as a reader feel completely lost.Don't lose your readers.

SHOW NOTES: On this show…we are exploring a puzzling problem; why does communication still fail in a hyper-connected world? Even though the workplace has more modes of communication than ever before, 86% of employees and executives cite the lack of effective collaboration and communication as the main cause of workplace failures. Are we trading convenience for connection and clear communication? If you frequently feel overwhelmed and misunderstood have you ever stepped back and asked, “How much can my brain safely and accurately compute?” The average office worker receives about 121 emails per day and sends out 40 work-related emails daily, contributing to communication overload and potential miscommunication. Studies suggest that people misinterpret the tone and intent of emails and texts about 50% of the time, leading to misunderstandings and conflict.  Over 70% of employees report feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information they receive at work, leading to decreased productivity and communication breakdowns.  It doesn't take long for me to become distracted. I envision an octopus with eight arms all preforming tasks at the same time and in the center of it all, the googley eyes are spinning and steam is coming from it's head. Picture it, you're watching a program>while reading the subtitles>you get a text> that asks you to jump on social media to check out a post or video>someone asks you a question>your phone rings>it's your mother and she can't understand her banking app>you open a web browser to see why she's stuck……I literally could go on and on.  Does all this convenience and distracting multi-tasking come at a cost?  Would you be able to go “old school.”  A study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that frequent digital media use involving social media, gaming, texting, and streaming movies, music, or TV increases one's risk of developing ADHD symptoms by nearly 10 percent. Put a pin in that and we'll come back to it.  Over at Preply, Matt Zajechowski shines a line on a Study showing Americans are becoming less effective communicators At Recuiter.com I found more information on The Negative Impact That Growing Up Digital Has Had on Communication At HelpGuide.org I found Effective Communication -Improving Your Interpersonal Skills Have you ever heard of the snowball effect? The term refers to how small issues can escalate and accumulate leading to larger problems and potentially significant consequences. Now let's start a lack of communication or miscommunication snowball down the hill. Here's how it typically unfolds: Misunderstandings: Initially, there might be a small misunderstanding or misinterpretation of a message, which is not addressed or clarified. Assumptions and Errors: Without clarification, people may start making assumptions or errors based on the initial misunderstanding, leading to further confusion. Missed Opportunities: As misunderstandings grow, opportunities for collaboration, innovation, or problem-solving may be missed, affecting productivity and efficiency. Conflict: Unresolved misunderstandings can lead to conflicts, as people become frustrated or feel ignored, further hindering effective communication. Distrust and Resentment: Persistent communication breakdowns can erode trust and breed resentment among team members, damaging relationships and morale. Impact on Performance: Ultimately, the snowball effect can impact overall performance, leading to decreased productivity, lower quality work, and potentially even business losses. CHALLENGE: Clear communication is crucial for effective collaboration and understanding in both personal and professional settings, fostering stronger relationships and minimizing misunderstandings. Convey your ideas accurately, ensuring everyone is on the same page to drive successful outcomes. I Know YOU Can Do It!

In Episode 1619, Sean Woodley is joined by Richard Stayman (Locked On NBA Big Board) to chat about the state of the 2024 NBA Draft class, the Toronto Raptors' muddled pick situation and some potential players who could be snug fits in Toronto with the Indiana Pacers pick and/or the Detroit Pistons pick at the top of the second round. Off the top, Sean and Richard discuss whether not this draft class is as light on talent as it's been suggested in the lead-up to the Draft, why Alex Sarr is the only higher end prospect he truly believes in having substantial upside, and the notion that the best players in this draft will probably come from outside the Top-10. Next, Sean and Richard tap into the biggest debate of our time: To Keep, or Convey the Raptors' Top-6 protected pick. Of course it's entirely out of the Raptors' control, but should Raptors fans be rooting for the team to hang onto this year's pick at 6, or convey it now and make their pick in 2025 wherever it may fall? Lastly, they run through some potential fits with the Raptors in the late teens or at 31 with their other two picks in this draft, including Tristan da Silva, Isaiah Collier, Kyshawn George, Ryan Dunn, Tyon Grant-Foster, Ulrich Chomche and more! Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/anFCzCkxSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends. Download MONOPOLY GO! now free on The App Store or Google Play.Yahoo FinanceFor comprehensive financial news and analysis, visit the brand behind every great investor, YahooFinance.com.NissanOur friends at Nissan have a lineup of SUV's with the capabilities to take your adventure to the next level.

In Episode 1606, Sean Woodley is joined by Vivek Jacob (Sportsnet, Raptors in 7) to chat about Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett both being on track to the return to the Toronto Raptors lineup on Tuesday night against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as the decision to hold out Gary Trent Jr. for rest. Off the top, Sean and Vivek chat about IQ and RJ's returns, and what they're hoping to see them bring to the lineup after they both missed extended time grieving the losses of loved ones. Next, they get into the decision to rest Gary Trent Jr. on Tuesday against the Lakers, unethical tanking, and the Raptors' seemingly leaning into the hopes of keeping their first-round pick this season. Lastly, Sean and Vivek revisit the Convey or Don't Convey debate and reiterate why they think it's healthier for the franchise as a whole to convey their pick to the Spurs this summer and wipe their outgoing pick slate clean going into this summer, as well as the potential ramifications if they do in fact keep their pick and draft in the Top-6 in the 2024 NBA Draft. Join us over on the Locked On Raptors Discord server! https://discord.gg/rvgmP4SASupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Amazon Fire TVFire TV recently created Fire TV Channels to deliver a constant supply of the latest videos from your favorite sports brands, all for free.

"All 14 of our clients got the product. We got them onboarded and they all loved it and paid a fee to use it, which was incredible." Robin Alex, Founder of HighLevel. Usually, it takes a long while for a B2B software product to find traction. That wasn't the case for today's guest, who by luck and brilliant vision found success from the get-go. A lifelong entrepreneur, Robin joins The Deep Specialization Podcast to share his founding story, going from building companies in his dorm room to a successful exit. While his early career days were spent working for a few startups, Robin quickly realized that his technical and IT skills could be turned into services, and he started offering advertising and consulting help to small businesses. What started as a phone call with his soon-to-be co-founders quickly evolved into a product seeing immediate success, and today, HighLevel, a company that empowers businesses to grow their businesses by generating reviews from their customers, managing their listings across 80+ sites on the web. Robin and Corey discuss how HighLevel skyrocketed to 60,000 customers in just five years. Remarkably, Robin and his co-founders conducted onboarding calls personally well up until the 10K customer milestone, gathering feedback and insights that turned the company into a flywheel of growth, attracting a sizable outside investment in 2021. Here's what we cover in this episode: Founding story and selling to an entire room at Mastermind as a launchpad. What an immediate product-market fit looks like. Scaling a company to 60K customers, and bootstrapping much of the success. Taking 60M from a minority investor. Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders: Be nimble with your sales efforts during the early days, and adjust your pitch as you go. Networking through authentically helping others is the best way to build lasting business relationships. Onboarding calls give you valuable insights to better define your ICP, sales process, and product. Convey a culture of service where customers truly feel like they are taken care off, and you'll win.

In this episode, you'll also hear:Why the gifts you have been given aren't actually for youWhat resilience and vision really mean for Christian leadersHow one member of our community leads with perseverance and commitment to her visionHow to move forward even in times of uncertaintyThe Journey of Faith-Driven Leadership“The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.” C.C. ScottToday, we're diving into a theme that resonates with every leader's journey: rising with resilience and vision. You see, it's in the crucible of trials that authentic leadership is refined. Resilience, then, is what allows us to emerge from those trials with a vision that transcends the immediate to embrace God's greater purpose.Before we further explore the concepts of resilience and vision, however, let's ground ourselves in Scripture. 1 Peter 4:10 says, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in various forms.” This means that whatever gift you have received is not just for you — it's for others around you. We must stay focused on using our gifts for others each day. When we do that — when we focus on the people we are called to serve instead of on ourselves — we arrive at a place of resilience and are inspired to “walk by faith and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). This is the journey of faith-driven leadership. The Meaning of Resilience & VisionSo, as Christian leaders, what does it mean to have resilience and vision? Let's break down each of those terms.ResilienceResilience isn't just about bouncing back. It's about growing, learning, and thriving, and often, that happens in the midst of adversity.Honestly, I haven't learned much from my successes. Instead, the things that could be perceived as failures have caused me to learn and grow the most. I wouldn't be who I am today, or where I am today, without those setbacks. Remember, setbacks can simply be setups for comebacks. So as you reflect on your own leadership journey, consider how pressure and challenges shape your ability to lead gracefully with conviction and fortitude. VisionA leader's vision acts as a guiding star. It illuminates the path not just for the leader, but also for those they lead. Thus, a clear, compelling vision inspires action, provides direction through stormy seas, and mobilizes people toward a shared goal.An Example of PerseveranceTo illustrate the importance of resilience and vision, let's take a look at the example of a remarkable member of our Christian Authors Network community: Aleta Allen. In just four years, Aleta has published two books and is working on her third. Her mission is to encourage everyday people to open their Bibles and let the Holy Spirit guide them, and she constantly shares on social media to support that goal. Despite her dedicated effort, however, Aleta has faced challenges in reaching her intended audience. Yet her resilient spirit stands out. She joined us for our 2-day workshop in February, then for a 90-minute social media workshop in March, and now she's taking her commitment a step further by joining the Christian Author Success School so she can learn how to connect with her audience online.Aleta's spirit of perseverance is a vivid example of James 1:12: “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”Resilience is about staying committed to the vision even when the path is unclear. As Proverbs 29:18 reminds us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Aleta's clarity of purpose and faith guides and inspires us to consider the power of vision in our leadership. Thank you, Aleta, for being such a powerful example of perseverance and commitment to your God-given vision!The Power of VisionTake a moment now to reflect on your own vision for leadership and the challenges you have faced. How has your faith guided you through these trials?What vision propels you forward?How can you commit to remaining resilient in the face of adversity?Then, inspired by Aleta's journey and perseverance, take some time to identify your vision and consider one step you can take this week, despite any challenges you're currently facing, to move closer to that vision. Remember, resilience is embracing each setback as a step forward towards your greater purpose. True leadership and faith are forged in the fires of trials with a vision that sees beyond the immediate to God's greater purpose. Let's keep these words close to our hearts as we navigate our paths to leadership. And let's look to Aleta's story as a beacon of resilience and vision — one that reminds us that our faith and commitment can guide us through the trials, toward the impact we aspire to make.  ALETA'S BIO:Aleta R.
