The faithfulness of the ultimate Covenant Keeper – Yahweh Himself – continues to be the only redeeming element in this account of covenant succession and patriarchal blessing. Isaac's negligence in this regard is evident in contrast to the testimony of his father. Though Abraham had his share of faults and failures, he had no delusions as to God's purposes in messianic lineage. He understood and affirmed the sovereign election of God in choosing Isaac as the child of promise. He proclaimed this to his family via covenant meal at Isaac's weaning in chapter 21. He obediently followed the voice of God to Mount Moriah with his son (Gen 22), his only covenant son – Isaac. Here father & son heard the Word of God unequivocally affirming His sovereign purposes through the son of promise. Our text today, however, documents the devastating confusion and consequences when the Word of God is obscured in the hearts of men on account of their fleshly preferences. There is a showdown in these circumstances between the Word of God and the word of sinful man, God's Word wins in the end, but it is brought to bear with discipline and judgement. For Isaac and Jacob, these events would provide necessary rebuke and correction. Yet for Esau, in his state of un-repentance, there remains only curse and condemnation Our response to this record of God's divine intervention preserving the plan of redemption in spite of sinners could well be the climatic confession of the 'Hallel' Psalms we have studied recently: “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good: for His steadfast love endures forever! (Ps 118:29)

Isaac Sabas Part 3   What were some of the challenges that you've faced as the CEO of Pandora Labs and now VP for Product of Bolton Labs? How did you overcome them? The most common would be nonperforming leaders. Those that do not perform according to Isaac's expectations.  What he does is he has an honest conversation with them. Isaac reiterates their mission and vision, as well as the expectations. Then, he gives options that they can take because if the person isn't a perfect fit for you, they might be a perfect fit elsewhere. Another issue revolves around trust. For Isaac, the best way to earn trust is to trust first. He's not saying that you shouldn't be too trusting, rather you have to be careful with setting the right controls because in dealing with people, many things can get mixed up, many things can lead to change. Isaac has experienced people that he trusts to leave him and do things he is not proud of. At the end of the day, it hurts him because he truly trusted these individuals. He does see these as learning experiences. They do happen, and people need to be prepared when they do.   I want to share something that I realized during my trip to Singapore. Look at airports. These places have so many checks that every person needs to pass through. I'm sure that 99.99% of the people who go through airports are civilians, tourists, and businessmen. None of them I dare say are drug dealers. All of the checks—Security, Immigration, and all the little things that we do just to pass through airport security are not there to make the experience worse. They're there to keep everyone safe; To keep the 0.001% that are drug dealers or any other dangerous person from boarding a single airplane.  In a company, that is what should happen. Unlike in the airport, however, the 0.001% is more common here and we need these rules and regulations to keep things in line. This means everyone is affected, so that the 0.001% will not enter, or will easily be found. This will protect the company. True leaders will accept these rules, and the minority of undesirable people will be forced out by them.   Isaac has his own set of core values that somewhat summarize the standard that he and his team members should uphold. He would ask his team to think about these things before they act while on the job.  We are Disciplined people. Because we are disciplined people, we have disciplined thoughts and we have disciplined actions.  It always starts in us. Disciplined people no longer need the rules, but this idealistic point-of-view is too good to be true. Even Netflix, with its Netflix culture, has its own rules for some situations.    The importance of these rules, as we go back to the airport metaphor, can be seen in a few tragic events. One was the horrible incident of 9/11. In that flight, the 0.001% got through; and unfortunately, all the passengers of that plane and the vast majority of those who were within the World Trade Center died. In business, the 0.001% can lead to your business crashing down. Nobody wants this to happen to your business, your culture, or anything really.   What kind of culture did you have in Pandora? Pandora had a very open culture. One of our primary aspects is that logic wins. Isaac encourages a lot of people, disregarding their position to always speak their mind in a slightly filtered manner. Having that open communication where logic is upheld is key. This is because at work there can't be any opinions.  The company must not have multiple opinions as it might derail the company from achieving its goal. Isaac welcomes ideas from his team. He always follows logic and data. So if a team member su Support the show (https://tribe.leadershipstack.com/)

Isaac Sabas Part 2   From being someone that calls the shots to becoming a Vice President, what are some of the biggest lessons that you've realized so far? How has the transition been? One of the nicest things that happened was that Isaac built up trust with his partners. The trust was, in a sense, a deep understanding of one another. That both of them were on the same page, particularly in their commitment to reach and attain their goals. Isaac also realized how important communication is. Messages must be clear. Everyone needs to make sure that they're on the same page. There's also the significance of having time to just discuss and see what options are available and hear the opinions of the others. Isaac, as a first-time founder-turned-Vice President, treats all of this as a learning experience. He enjoys the journey, but he also keeps himself grounded. Most of the things around him are moving too fast, and sometimes, he needs to stop and take in everything meticulously just to keep up. Another lesson that Isaac learned was that people have to accept that there is a lot of pain. Having this kind of mindset will allow people to be responsive to these changes and adapt and eventually make the right decisions moving forward. All of this was happening while even more were happening in the background. Isaac Sabas has recently been married, is going to be a father soon, and is in the process of moving to a new home. He is also investing in several new startups as well.   Can you share a few leadership lessons that you learned along the way? Isaac also shared a point in decision-making. For you to not regret a decision or make others feel bad about it, is that you should always allow logic to win the argument. You also want your management team to be vocal and be able to share their insights and thoughts. Having that environment where logic and data win allows two things. First, it makes your team better at thinking; and second, your team will trust you more. Another lesson that Isaac learned was that being a CEO doesn't necessarily mean that you're the top guy. He would always head into the office and ask what problems he can solve daily. Through servant-leadership, Isaac prioritizes serving his employees to help them grow which directly leads to the whole company grow.   How are you able to juggle all of these things together? For the first question, the number one point that Isaac mentioned is to make sure that you marry the right person. Bear in mind that one of the biggest decisions that you have to make is whether or not you will choose to marry someone. For Isaac, his wife is his biggest blessing. When you're sure that you and your significant other see eye-to-eye on the important things, then you'll know that you've got yourself a keeper. It's also one of the reasons why Isaac was able to juggle everything that was happening in his life. In a survey talking about the similarities of the top millionaires in the world, the 4th point is having a supportive spouse. Much like me, Isaac is someone who loves to brainstorm ideas and innovation, and much like my wife, his wife is the one who keeps Isaac grounded. There may be healthy conflicts now and again, but at the end of the day, everything balances out. It's our spouses that bring the best out of us and always keep us aligned with our goals.   Was the merger sort of a lopsided decision where you had too many pros and too little cons or was it a 50-50 chance? As Isaac weighed the pros and cons of the merger, he believes that all of his planning and theorizing led to a 60-40 spread, leaning towards the merger. The 40% was mainly because the nature of the merger was high risk and high ret Support the show (https://tribe.leadershipstack.com/)

This week's guest Isaac Irvine, a personal branding expert, will talk to us about how we can balance the promotion of our employer's brand (or clients) without neglecting our own. Be sure to tune in for this show, which will be sure to have tweetable nuggets. Join the live chat for an opportunity to ask Issac your questions, too!Isaac Irvine@theisaachttps://isaacirvine.com/Social and Community Manager at GoDaddy. I love talking about #PersonalBrand | #EmployeeAdvocacy | #StarWars. #Podcast host. Opinions are mine. Bridget: Sometimes working for a brand is like a marriage – if you get divorced, then what becomes of your identity? Shawn Pfunder told Isaac his personal brand is ‘cheerleader (for the company)… no one really knows what you’re about’ – he was devastated at the time, because he realized he didn’t have an identity outside of what his personal facebook friends saw https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/isaac-irvine-the-unexpected-personal-brand-coach_us_59371d69e4b04331b6694a4d https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dad-teaches-9-year-old-son-important-lesson-about-bullying/ Ask yourself “what do I really want to be known for” … talk about what you are passionate about! If it lines up with your brand, that’s great, but don’t hide who you are! Bridget: “Don’t be a paper doll.” Sometimes we forget, as people, that it’s okay to talk about ourselves A good place to start – Google yourself and see what comes up – ask if those are the things you want to be known for … if not, it might be time to start giving more attention to your personal brand Think about a few things that you’re passionate about and make a list – then go from there, pick a few topics that float to the top and ask yourself “Can I come up with 10 articles/blog posts about this subject?”For Isaac, the thing that stood out to him that he loved was ‘Star Wars’! He could come up with articles, videos, cosplay etc.. endlessly – it takes 0 effort for him to talk about it! If he is going to be authentic, he is going to talk about Star Wars and engage with others about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB0wzy-xbwM Naturally people will want to talk to you on social media about your job because they perceive you as an expert, but you need to remember to open up and be yourself too If you run an agency/business, it’s a really good thing to have your employees active on social – if people are connected to your employees, then they are more likely to trust your business – because they trust their friends and their authenticity. People can immediately tell if someone isn’t being authentic – you can’t fake that sort of thing. The more employees talk authentically about what they’re passionate about, the more it reflects positively on your brand. If you want people to share your content… 1) make it good and worth sharing 2) be authentic Don’t talk about your official job/roles too much on your social accounts, no more than 20% – talk about what makes you – YOU!  What are you interested in, what do you care about?  That’s what people need/want to see! Get comfortable sharing your stuff! Don’t self-censor so much that you’re no longer who you are. His son started growing out his hair so he could donate it. He was having some trouble getting bullied at school.  Isaac asked him what was going on and asked him to talk about it – he only agreed when Isaac offered to record it and share it! (he loves the idea of becoming a popular YouTube video personality).  Isaac posted the video and didn’t think anyone would watch it, but the next morning, his phone was overflowing with notifications – the post went viral! Over 14,000 views in 8 hours!!! By that night, there were 2 news trucks outside to interview his son.  By the next day it was on CNN, Fox News and Yahoo! By the end of that week it was all over the globe. A lot of people suggested he should start blogs / video series about bullying – there was the temptation to think “this is part of my brand now”.  But he’s not an expert on bullying – he’s not going to capitalize on that because it’s not authentic to his brand – it was a great parenting moment, but it’s not a passion of his.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dad-teaches-9-year-old-son-important-lesson-about-bullying/ When building your brand, ask yourself “is this something I can really carry forward – am I passionate enough about the subject to keep this going?” A lot of people will give you advice about what you should share or how you should communicate – be sure to be true to your own brand – if it doesn’t feel right for you, don’t pursue it. Isaac’s biggest advice is use what feels natural to you – don’t force it. Find the platform that works best for you. It doesn’t have to be Facebook or Twitter, etc…. If you’re comfortable with it and you’re engaging with your followers then stick with it. Don’t be afraid to share who you are on LinkedIn too!  People may be following 100 other people in their industry and they are all posting/sharing the same things – if you post something different / unique – you stand out! Jason’s dog instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lincydincydoo/ We live in a world where people change jobs on average every 2 years, so your personal brand matters more than ever! Try asking yourself “If you could do anything – what is it that you’d really want to do?” Listen to that and pursue those passions, make that part of your personal brand “Make your content so good that they want to share it!” – Isaac “Find your tribe, hang out, and make yourself welcome!” – Isaac Cool pick of the week https://www.ILovePDF.com  – tools to help you do everything you need to do with your PDFshttps://Unsplash.com  – free stock photos for creative use / blogging, also have a wallpaper appInstant Images plugin – One-click Unsplash images for your blog!https://droplr.com/ – lets you capture and share instantly what’s on your screen Show notes contributed by:Greg Shaw – @greg1usaCheryl LaPrade – @YayCherylSherie LaPrade – @HeySherieJames Tryon – @JamesTryon The post WPblab EP92 – Maintaining your personal brand while building another. appeared first on WPwatercooler.

“Among all his actions there is none which is not entirely a matter of mercy, love, and compassion: this constitutes the beginning and the end of His dealings with us” -St. Isaac of Nineveh On the pilot episode of season two Ryan dives head first into the thoughts of St. Isaac of Nineveh on the nature of God and his dealings with humanity.
