Kurt Fredrickson and Cameron Lee are on the faculty at Fuller Theological Seminary.  In this episode, our conversation centers on the theme of resilience and the willingness to adapt.  What does it mean to be resilient?  And how do we become resilient leaders who are not only able but willing to adapt when called to do so?THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Kurt Fredrickson leads the Doctor of Ministry and the Doctor of Global Leadership programs at Fuller Theological Seminary.Cameron Lee is the Professor of Marriage and Family Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary.For Cameron, it’s painful to see how the coronavirus has divided the church this past year.Kurt Fredrickson noticed that when you have to adapt, you adapt. And the church adapted.Visiting various online church services is not really church.  The missing component is community.Kurt Fredrickson's biggest fear is that we’re just going to go back to church as it used to be—over-programmed and under-discipled.A crisis like this pandemic exposes the things that we tend to take for granted.To lead after Covid, leaders need to cultivate resilience, gratitude, and the ability to hold things loosely.Ministry leaders need to practice Sabbath.  But it can be hard to practice Sabbath when one day bleeds into the next (as it seemed during the pandemic).Kurt Fredrickson defines resilience in terms of its opposite—the inability to snap back or be flexible.Cameron Lee connects resilience to the ability to manage stress.Cameron Lee shares how Covid has personally affected him, including the loss of his mother.To find out more about Kurt Fredrickson’s work, visit his Fuller Seminary profile page.You can find out more about Cameron Lee’s work by visiting his Fuller Seminary profile page or his blog, Squinting Through Fog.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books mentioned:Tempered Resilience, by Tod BolsingerThat Their Work Will Be a Joy, by Kurt Fredrickson and Cameron LeeSurfing the Edge of Chaos, by Richard Pascale, Mark Milleman, and Linda GiojaKurt Fredrickson:Fuller Seminary profile pageCameron Lee:Fuller Seminary profile pageSquinting Through Fog blogRelated episodesEpisode 72: The Edge of Chaos, Part 1: Why Your Church Needs DisequilibriumEpisode 73: The Edge of Chaos, Part 2: Fresh New SolutionsEpisode 74: The Edge of Chaos, Part 3: Slowly, Then All of a Sudden— Links to Amazon are affiliate links.Support the show (http://patreon.com/markuswatson)

Twisted Twos: Joanne Cameron and Dylan Redwine Tales of hauntings, murder, and scary mysteries. Every week Twisted Two's dives into a pair of uniquely terrifying stories that are worthy of a more in-depth look. For this week, we focus on the story of Joanne Cameron, the woman who can feel no pain and the mysterious disappearance of Dylan Redwine. Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s. Joanne Cameron - For many of us, pain is a troublesome burden. Figuratively and sometimes physically, many would do anything they can to stop themselves from feeling any. While it seems impossible, at least one woman knows what’s it’s like. Seventy-two retired teacher from the Scottish Highlands, Joanne Cameron, is a person who feels no pain. She knows the word, understands people are in pain but has never felt it herself. She hasn’t felt rage, grief, anxiety, dread or even fear often associated with pain. For Cameron, the only time she realizes her skin is burning is when she smells it being singed. What’s more, when she recently had to have hip surgery, there were no trigger signs because she didn’t feel pain. Her husband and family noticed she was walking funny and insisted she go to the hospital. Once there, they ran her through X-Ray and foudn her hip to be mangled. Her doctors were amazed she hadn’t complained about pain at all. Dylan Redwine Born to Mark Redwine and Elaine Hatfield, Dylan Redwine was only 13-years old when he was reported missing in southeastern Colorado on November 2012. The couple was in the middle of a huge divorce and custody battle. The young boy disappeared after he went on a court-ordered visit at his father's home just outside of Durango. According to Mark Redwine, he went out on morning errands on November 19, 2012. When he returned home four hours later, his son, Dylan, was gone. The disappearance triggered hundreds of people to assist in search efforts hoping to find the young boy alive. But winter came and the search efforts were put on hold.

Shortly after the death of her daughter, Emily, Angela Kennecke got an email from Fiona Cullinan Firine. Fiona had lost her son Cameron to fentanyl poisoning just a couple of months before Emily died. She was discouraged by the lack of criminal prosecution against the dealer who supplied Cameron with what looked like and Oxycontin pill. Fiona wrote Angela out of frustration and Angela encouraged her to fight for her son and find other parents who had also lost children in this way. It turned out that Connecticut did not recognize fentanyl as a narcotic. After Fiona discovered that, she gathered a group of parents, who had lost children to fentanyl poisoning, and they banned together to change Connecticut's law. Fiona and her family also started a non-profit called, "For Cameron." Through their organization they are raising money to educate law enforcement and provide software for detectives to unlock phones. They also have a scholarship for students studying addiction, which was what Cameron was doing before he relapsed and died. Fiona has channeled her grief and anger onto changing the world.

Black Freethinkers: A History of African American Secularism (Northwestern University Press, 2019) by Christopher Cameron, an Associate Professor of history at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, is a precise and nuanced history of African American secularism from the early nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. This text is written with economy and clarity as defined by four concise chapters that detail the major moments in African American history including some discussion of Reconstruction, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Civil Rights-Black Power era. Traversing nearly two centuries of black thought, from the Antebellum period to the demise of the Black Power era, Black Freethinkers is the first comprehensive historical survey of black free thought. For Cameron, free thought encompasses atheism, agnosticism, deism, paganism and other non-traditional modes of thinking. Cameron's work focuses primarily on the ideas advanced by African American men and women of letters such as Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, Lorraine Hansberry, and James Baldwin to support his core argument that freethought and “unbelief” have been key elements of Black thought since the era of enslavement to the institutionalization of free thought oriented associations in African American society. Cameron's work forces us to rethink the way we study the era of enslavement and African American culture, and the place of Douglass as an American intellectual central to this history, as well as the role of religion in Black life more generally. In many respects, his text presents a more humanistic portrait of African American thought and culture from a historical perspective that goes well beyond most texts on this subject. Hettie V. Williams Ph.D., has taught survey courses in U.S. history, Western Civilization, and upper division courses on the history of African Americans at the university level for more than fifteen years. Her teaching and research interests include: African American intellectual history, gender in U.S. history, and race/ethnicity studies.

It’s been said that you can’t grow personally or professionally without developing self awareness. Knowing how you’re perceived by others, what your strengths and weaknesses are, how you handle stress, and how you impact those around you, are just some of the elements of self awareness, that can go a long way in helping all of us reach enjoy success at work, and also at home.For Cameron Doan, the Head Professional at Preston Trail in Dallas, this pursuit of developing self awareness for himself and his staff members, has paid huge dividends. For Cameron, he’s been able to lead each team member with a higher level of effectiveness, since he knows their individual needs and how they will respond in certain situations. As he tells us, this has also allowed him to raise his level of self awareness and understand how his staff members perceive his actions.As the 2018 National Bill Strausbaugh award winner and a recent inductee into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame, Cameron has spent his career devoted to getting the most out of staff and helping them achieve their personal goals, no matter what those goals may be. He's mentored countless PGA Professionals onto successful positions throughout the industry. You’ll hear him describe the methods he uses to achieve this and plenty more valuable insight. You'll also hear Cameron's thoughts on the most critical skills for PGA Professionals, you'll learn the six types of motivation, and the four areas he focuses on, which he learned from a Hall of Fame basketball coach. This episode is a little longer than normal, but I thought it was too good to split up into two episodes. This conversation is a wealth of knowledge from an expert in development and mentorship, and contains a lot of great lessons for all of us.

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Cameron Brown. Cameron is an award-winning composer, international speaker, and founder of Thriving Collective a world-wide movement dedicated to helping people reach their true potential. Cameron has been featured everything from TEDx to ABC and Millennial Magazine. He was born in the outback of Australia and started playing piano at a young age. His story has a lot of ups and downs and twists and turns which he will share with you today. In 2016, he sold or donated 99% of the things he owned and embarked on a global initiative called the “Impact diaries” to inspire people to make a greater positive impact in the world. And just this year, he official partnered with National Geographic as a National Geographic Explorer. Cameron has a developed a very compelling and unique way of speaking and teaching through what he calls Multi-Sensory talks where he speaks to audience while mixing in playing piano and a complete video experience embedded in. Cameron credits all of his success to the incredible impact that curiosity can have on your life and we break that down with him in this episode. www.ThrivingCollective.com @AskCameronBrown on social Cameron says he’s had a number of big defining moments in his life. One of them was in mid-2010 when they heard screaming from his neighbor that her son had just killed himself. He and another went running through the house and found the deceased. Cameron remembers most taking care of the siblings and pretending like nothing was going on, playing with them to keep them occupied, but to then see the father come home with a look of helplessness and the rest of the family. Cameron took away some very important truths from the experience. First, not one should ever have to go through that type of experience. Second, that there are others ways out and that there had to be a way to help people that are going through these tough times. With a couple months, Cameron had enrolled in his first coaching course on personal development to help people. He learned a lot about himself and started to help people have breakthroughs. This grew and allowed him to start working with businesses to help them overcome their biggest challenges around the country. Cameron’s work and other experiences lead him to ask 2 really important questions: What do I really want to experience out of this life? Am I really living? The answer to the 2nd question was “no.” He made significant changes to his business to allow him to live more fully and begin to enjoy all aspects of life instead of just being focused on work. He traveled and had had adventures, tried new things, met new people…and this really made him realize that life really is about experiences and he decided to find a way to blend helping others and companies with doing through a great experience. What is the most important thing you have learned on your journey to this point? Earlier on, it would have been about taking responsibility for your life. Today, curiosity is the most valuable thing to nurture because it takes you into the unknown and helps to grow as a person. Pay attention at the 9 min mark as Cameron talks about the benefits of curiosity in our lives and how it serves as the gateway to creativity and innovation. At the 13 min mark, Cameron answers the question” How did the music side come to be in your life and how does it work with what you do?” Cameron’s favorite question to ask is “If it all ended today, what would the one thing you would regret not doing?” For Cameron, this was having a grand piano on stage while giving a talk. He set out to do it and visualized it daily. 3 months later, it was reality. Music often gets around the conscious mind to the subconscious and opens us in different ways. Talk to us about the process of manifestation – how does someone go from visualization to get the real result? First, you must believe it is possible to achieve what you desire. One you believe, you can visualize. Then practice G.O.Y.A. Get off your ass! Take the inspired action. Be relentless in your pursuit. At the end of the day, it is about your being in alignment with who you want to become. What did growing up in the outback of Australia teach you about how to succeed in life and business? The power and potential that technology has to allow to achieve things we would not necessarily be able to achieve. Because of growing up in a rural environment. Cameron took his singing lessons by phone because there wasn’t a singing teach in town. The value of time by yourself. As entrepreneurs, things can get lonely. Learning to be ok by yourself is a great skill to learn. The power of the mind to drive creativity. What should people know about maximizing technology in their lives? We are already hybrid beings. Things may not be in us, but our phones, tablets computers, etc. are extensions of us. We have an operating system and it is either performing at its best or not. Our lives are the same and we must upgrade as technology allows us. You can choose how you can use or not use technology to upgrade your operating system. Things that hold us back are the scrolling through the social media feed or surfing the net or responding to every notification that comes up on our phone. To maximize your life, first audit and look at what areas you have that you don’t feel like you are in control. Can you use technology to close the gaps? Can you schedule “sprints” of uninterrupted work? Look at how you can create space in your life to make sure the technology does not run you. Other advice? We have to prioritize ourselves and not the external world dictate who we are or what we do. If you don’t fill your calendar, someone or something else will. Treat yourself as your very best client. You wouldn’t cancel time you have with them. The first thing that goes when we get busy is our time for ourselves. What are the 3 Impacts? We make an impact on our lives We make an impact on others’ lives We make an impact on the planet The big insight is that you can be succeeding in your business and taking care of others, but if that is out of alignment with taking care of your environment – then what you are doing in the other 2 areas, you can still have a negative impact. Doing even the smallest things can have an impact. Tell us about curiosity and being comfortable with being uncomfortable… Curiosity is one of the most valuable and least used skills we practice The quality of your life will be in direct correlation with the amount of uncertainty you can handle Outside of your comfort zone is the unknown, a sometimes scary, but untapped unknown with endless possibility. Curiosity can bridge the gap between these two areas. Audit your believe systems to see which ones give you more level of certainty in your life vs. keep you from doing what you could do. Curiosity allows you to dream up what you could do. Ask yourself, “What could I do?” Listen at the 44 min mark as Cameron really dives deep on curiosity and curious language and tonality… What is Meercat Syndrome and why should people understand it? It’s the same as shiny object syndrome You get to into all the things you can vs. picking a few and focusing intently on them This is how curiosity can get you stuck, so you have to beware seeking too many opportunities and not focusing and acting on a few.   Best Quote: “Become comfortable with being uncomfortable.”    Cameron's Misfit 3: Responsibility. You must take responsibility because those who take responsibility get to create the change. Those who blame stay with the pain. Courage. Develop the courage to go for what you believe in – even in the face of fear. You have to become and make peace with the worst case scenario - nothing can hold you back. Curiosity. Learn to nurture your curiosity as a skill. It is the bridge between where you are now and infinite possibilities.

There's a certain amount of photo library maintenance that comes around once a year. For Cameron that means creating spreadsheets to organize his binders of negatives, so that he can find them by film and camera type. For Tyler that means creating new Lightroom catalogs and buying new hard drives. Always more hard drives.
