Many of us want to talk about our faith with others, but we feel unprepared and uncomfortable. Sharing our story of Jesus doesn’t have anything to do with rote lines, preachy words, or guilty feelings. On Wednesday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Grammy-nominated recording artist and songwriter, Babbie Mason urges her readers to explore Matthew 5:16, "The Great Mandate" in her new interactive book, Each One, Reach One: Everyday Ways You Can Shine God's Light. Babbie encourages each of us,"Use this book as a personal evangelism tool, to increase your passion and share your God story with confidence."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can We Really Be Digital Missionaries? This is the heart of the conversation with Dave Ferguson today. Dave, and his brother Jon, recently released a book B.L.E.S.S. which details how people can be a missionary in physical space… “Begin with Prayer, Listen, Eat a Meal Together, Serve, Share Jesus”… Recently the question was asked: Can we do the BLESS practices digitally? Can BLESS become the framework for a Digital Missionary. So, we invited in a bunch of digital pastors and digital planters and asked them the question: As you're looking at BLESS, how would we do this digitally? Some things make perfect sense on how this could apply as a digital missionary. Other parts, well, needed adapting. How do we adapt it? I think we made solid headway… Dave Ferguson's BLESS is All About Intimate Relationships that Point to Jesus. How Do We Do that Digitally? The biggest issue we found? How do you eat together digitally? in the metaverse? What do we do there? Dave's solution is fascinating. So, let's jump into the conversation with Dave Ferguson as well as Pastors and Planters from Digital Church Network, as we join the conversation centered around creating a Digital Missionary Culture.

Strengths, which align with your innate talents, allow you to see multiple paths for living your calling. You can follow different paths since your strengths relate to the motives that help you carry out an action, rather than the logic directing you on which action to take. Even in your free time, your strengths are influencing your behavior and choices. Today, we talk about Practical Strengths for your calling. Jo Self is on a mission to ensure talent is not wasted, potential is realized, and happiness is contagious. She has a diverse background in business, which includes developing award-winning employee programs for international brands, starting her own event business, and after moving to Peru from the US, creating a tourism business that was recognized as a top startup in that country. In 2015, Jo had a revelation that changed everything and set her on a new path. In 2021, Jo published her first book in the Practical Strengths series, Practical Strengths: Parenting: A CliftonStrengths® Guide for Everyday Ways. She recently published her second book in the series, Practical Strengths: Career Success: A CliftonStrengths® Guide for Everyday Ways. At this point, Jo understands that her diverse career has a common thread in its nonlinear path. Reflecting on life experiences, Jo emphasizes that your purpose is in your strengths. If you want to feel more aligned to your life, there is a need to understand your strengths and figure out how to apply them. Jo uses her personal talents to explain to everyone how strengths don't work alone in isolation, but together throughout separate aspects of life. Listen as Jo talks about her Practical Strengths series and her journey as one of the first Spanish-speaking Gallup® Certified Strengths Coaches. Knowing your strengths will help you understand the way you interact with others. It's a way to give yourself and others grace, and avoid possible stress or conflict. More than that, your strengths help you recognize the roles that let you thrive. Jo uses personal experiences in this episode, so you may find this conversation particularly helpful if you share similar strengths with Jo: Strategic, Activator, Maximizer, Communication, Ideation. Consider how the strengths affect all aspects of your life for you to fully live your purpose. Being aware of how you operate is personal leverage to propel you forward.

Could Everyone in Your Church Become a Digital Missionary? What if your Physical-, Digital-, or Metaverse- Church used Digital as the training ground to release Digital Missionaries? What if we utilized the strength of digital to train, activate and release people to reach their circle of influence physically, digitally, or even in the Metaverse? Maybe, just maybe, digital can provide the spiritual purpose that many churches are missing beyond the content-driven Sunday mornings, and help us move from a knowledge-based Discipleship format to an obedience-based Discipleship framework. As aggressive as everyone in your church becoming a digital missionary is, maybe we're not that far off. Enter Jon Ferguson into the conversation. Jon, and his brother Dave Ferguson, developed a framework called BLESS to help empower and activate people in physical space. What if that framework works digitally? Jon Ferguson & Jeff Reed Talk BLESS, Figuring Out How to Apply The Framework to Digital- and Metaverse- Spaces. So let's learn more about Dave & Jon's BLESS Practices. Let's hypothesize more about how to make BLESS the foundational piece of Digital Missionaries, and maybe (just maybe) we'll help some churches find some opportunities along the way.

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.” - Winston Churchill In today's episode of the Unlimited Potential Show we dive into the topic of courage and confidence, and how you can use these two virtues to create a mindset that will never stop chasing your dreams. Some of the world's most courageous leaders have felt fear before, the difference is they've embraced the feeling of uncertainty and vulnerability and used their own personal ambitions for success to guide their paths towards their goals. We dig into the mindsets of powerful leaders like Tom Brady, Conor McGregor, and Brene Brown to see what exactly holds us back and how we can overcome it. Listen in as we talk about the importance of vulnerability, how fear can't stop you, the difference between a good success and a great success, and how going after your natural passions will accelerate your growth. We discuss the aspect of shame and how it can distract us from what we truly want, how to combat this shame and understanding that even if nothing is perfect it's still progress. This episode is full of encouragement to embrace your vulnerabilities and tips to grow your confidence naturally. When we start changing our mindsets about the hurdles we have in our lives, we start making life changing decisions and we believe these two things are the keys to unlocking your unlimited potential!
