Podcasts about god's business

Sometimes, when we’re taking care of God’s business and serving in ministry, we are hesitant to acknowledge the gifts of other people in our midst.  We see them as an intrusion against our own ministry, instead of an infusion of help from God. And instead of seeing them as a threat, Pastor Ford will encourage us to begin to discover the gifts of others, help them develop their gifts and deploy them into service for God’s glory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Pastor Ford will help us identify some very practical ways we can tell if God has called us to a certain ministry, before we dive in headfirst to what we think we’ve been called to do.  We’ll learn how to discover our passions and priorities and identify our desire to glorify God and follow His guidance.

God calls those who have believed in Jesus to do the work of His ministry in the church and around the world.  They’re called by Him and God chose them because of their passion for certain ministries. But today Pastor Ford will explain that there are those who went but weren’t actually sent.  In other words, they were appointed to a certain ministry by man, but not anointed for it by God.  So, as we seek to take care of God’s business, we need to be sure we are called by Him to do what we’re doing.

Every business has a soul. The soul is the core of the heart, meaning, and purpose of why you're in business. God wants His business to Prosper.

How to deal with your racist family and friends I was asked by a good friend to do a podcast episode on the topic of how not to get triggered by our racist friends and family. We can all agree that we are a very divided country – we’ve been for a long time. And it doesn’t help that many people cling so tightly to their beliefs, don’t take responsibility and blame others which create a bigger chasm between us.   You may think of me as a calm yoga teacher, but I’m a very sensitive and emotional person. I cry a lot and can fly off the handle easily, especially when I deal with people I deem ignorant or mean.     I think that’s why discussing politics, religion, race, sex or anything that is highly emotionally charged can be so confrontational, causing feuds at family gatherings.   Right now, we are going through some major historical events: this global pandemic: those who are worried about health and those who are worried about businesses, racial protests and riots – those who support black lives and those who support macy’s. the fight for the rights of LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) people -- some may totally be on board with equality and others not so much.   Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but how do we NOT get triggered by those opinions that differ from ours?   I hate to break it to you, but you’ll never get rid of triggers, nor will you be able to stop the other person from triggering you.   Today on the podcast I’ll share with you 5 ways that help me deal with people who trigger the F out of me and see their different beliefs as portals to my own growth.   Triggers are teachers. In episode 80 I talk all about triggers. Triggers are all around us. We can’t avoid being activated by someone or something.   You know you’ve aligned with your ego when you feel inferior or superior to someone else. You’re stuck in comparison or judgement.   Rather than pointing the finger and being upset with that person, what are you learning about yourself and about them?   Our relationships are direct portals to our wounds, and awareness of our triggers can be portals to our growth.   If we can view our triggers as our greatest teachers, we can then heal our inner world to affect our outer world.   Ironically, we are most often highly triggered by those we care about or are closest to.   The challenging work is to watch and witness your thoughts. Most of our thoughts are recycled from our conditioned thinking.   We are triggered when the reality is not how we think it should be.    When I feel resentment, offended, hurt, or any kind of hot emotion, it’s an opportunity to turn inward, not lash outward.   Sit with the sensation so that the boiling emotion comes to a simmer.   Trying to avoid the sensation just creates more suffering.    In fact, reality has no emotional charge. The present moment is what it is. An event. A feeling. Some words. An action.   It’s us humans that create the emotional charge behind reality. Something about that thing activates something within.   Taking responsibility for how you show up and changing your beliefs by watching your thought patterns lead to freedom.   Anything that causes you to be in an emotional state is your spiritual teacher. Invite them in.   Detach from the outcome: How do you detach from the outcome when you’re triggered, hurt and outraged at a friend’s beliefs and actions? It’s hard.   This is the work, my friend.   Detaching doesn’t mean you avoid the conversation or become numb or check out.   One of my favorite quotes is “When you’re upset, don’t eat.” Wait. No. That’s for another episode.   My favorite quote by Bryron Katie that I live by, especially when I’m triggered is, "There's your business, Other people's business and God's Business"   Most of the time I’m in someone else’s business that’s out of my control.   We spend too much energy replaying someone else’s actions and trying to influence someone else’s life, when in reality it’s their life and their choice of how they want to show up. We have no control over them.   Detach from the idea of converting anyone. You will never change anyone by forcing your own opinion and criticisms on them.   These battles about race, politics, humanity, and equality or any other disagreement are like a game of tug-of-war, where our Egos hold so tightly to what we believe to be true.   The more you pull and think you’re right, the harder the other person pulls to prove their right.   But…If you let go, you win.   The Ego wants to be right. Our heart wants to be understood.   Intentionally listening Ok so if you get that triggers can be teachers and you’re working on letting go, how do you make peace with the other person who is upsetting you?   LISTEN. Intentionally listen.   Rather than mentally formulating your next objection before the other person has finished their sentence, listen with the intention to hear their view. I know this is hard, especially when steam is fuming out of your ears and your heart is seething with rage. Come back to step 1. Triggers are your teachers. Right now, your teacher is guiding you to generously listen.   Instead of speaking AT your friend, speak to what she said so you can have a constructive conversation and learn from both ways vs locking down and having a blowup fight.   Just like you have particular beliefs that you’ve learned, she has too.   When you can detach from trying to change your friend or family, and can listen to understand their viewpoint and learn their background behind their beliefs, you will learn something about them you never knew.   I saw this on @southasians4blacklives and loved this point: Instead of calling them out, call them in Our Ego wants to be right, by trying to convert them, or point out their flaws and prove why they’re wrong or how they’re a bad person. This only makes the other person defend who they are even harder.   No one wants to feel judged, wrong or unimportant.   Once you take the tug out of the tug-of-war, they feel seen, understood and significant.   Everyone wants that.   When they feel seen and heard, they’ll be more open to listening to you too. Their wall to defend themselves has come down a bit, and so has yours.   Sometimes they won’t be open or they’re just rude to the core, and, you know what, that’s a different choice (like a long term) choice you may need to make about your relationship and the boundaries you extend to that person.   But if they’re in your life to stay, like your good friend or a family member, and if you think they’re a good person and you would like to keep them in your life, why not make it pleasant as possible and stay open to learn from each other.   So instead of calling them out, call them in. Rather than pointing out their shortcomings, share with them your personal experiences, your own blind spots and what you have learned that they may not know.   By focusing on you and inviting them in to see your vulnerability and transformation, this may help them be less defensive and more open to learning about their own blind spots.   Hopefully by staying open and communicating from your heart space of loving on them, instead of your Ego that wants to perfect and prove, they also become teachers and share what they learn with others.   See this is as practice In Sanskrit Svadyaya means “self-study.”   The real yoga starts when you leave your mat and get into the world.   Each step forward is really just a step deeper into yourself.   Every relationship is a mirror to teach us something about yourself.   Instead of preaching, controlling or forcing your opinion, see these moments of fury as opportunities to stay open, intentionally listen so you can learn about the other person (and about yourself) and fine tune your communication skills   By sharing from your heart, rather from the Ego, your light will inspire them to do the same.   And if it doesn’t, then you will have changed for the better because of it   This is the real Yoga.   to stay present to the simmer pause in stillness, listen with intention to hear both sides, study yourself so you can know yourself and speak from your heart and be the change you wish to see in the world.   I love hearing from you on my blog + instagram! How has this helped you?   If it has helped, I appreciate you sharing this with your friends.  

“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” - Corrie Ten Boom   We live in a crazy time right now. I know I’ve said this a several times this year. Have you guys been to Costco lately!? I went to 3 stores looking for toilet paper yesterday. Shelves were empty. Lines everywhere. Streets and shops bare. People looked fearful and were rude, quickly pushing their way through the stores.   We are country rampant with fear and uncertainty, rapidly following Italy, Iran and China’s rates of infection.   The COVID-19 virus is scary because it’s spreading so fast and there’s no cure. This pandemic is affecting all aspect of our lives. Just yesterday, the state of Washington closed all restaurants and bars. People are getting laid off, or are asked to stay home for several weeks with no pay. Schools are closed. Events canceled. The FED reduced interest rates to zero. All of this creates a finacial ripple effect for each person and business.   I know, you’re already bombarded with COVID-19 updates from everywhere you look and I don’t mean to be Debbie Downer! Our spiritual work though, is to be conscious, to awaken and to lean into what we fear and see it through a conscious lens instead of turning away, hiding or numbing.   This episode is inspired by my friends @courtneyjburg, @marybethlarue and @simplyrealhealth who always provide soulful insight and help ground me. Check on their recent IG posts on how to create more calm, how to create actions of what you do have control of, and 28 ways for self-care, all of which we could use right now.   Today on the podcast, I’m sharing 3 ways to help you stay grounded and curate calm during times of unease and uncertainty. Showing up for yourself is one way to spread much needed love during this time of increased fear: Focus on what you DO have control of   Whenever I feel anxious and untethered to my center, there is a quote by Byron Katie that always helps ground me: "There's your business, Other people's business and God's Business"   When I realize what I don't have control of, this quote helps release worrying or anxiety (even for a little bit).   So often we focus on what’s out of our control.   We talk about other people’s choices or criticize someone’s actions. We spend our energy trying to influence someone else’s life, when in reality it’s their life and their choice of how they want to show up.   We worry about what is uncontrollable and is in God’s hands, like a natural disaster, or the weather or this outbreak.   We have no control of the outcome of this pandemic, but we spend so much energy worrying and being fearful of what is not in our control. You can’t worry or control other people’s or God’s business.   What you can focus on is what you do have control over. Especially in chaotic times, this is the only thing that will empower you and tether you back to your place of center.   So ask yourself 2 questions: How do you want to feel now? Empower yourself by taking action to feel that. What’s not serving you? Release what is creating angst.   It may be time to delete some social apps or watch less news, so you stay sane. Or make space to rest and renew. You can’t control the outcome, but you can control your thoughts, words, actions and energy. Attuning to this emboldens and liberates you to be the person you want to be and feel how you want to feel.   Create sacred time to connect   To me, self-love is a verb. It’s an action of fostering support for yourself, checking in and asking how are you doing, what do you need and connecting to your heart to honor how to best support your well-being.   Self-love is the nurturing of your spirit.   Get quiet and tune in to your heart that is your internal GPS whispering where to go and what to do next. Although we’re regulated to stay indoors and practice social distancing, sacred time may look like: getting out in nature (provided its safe), getting fresh air, journaling, meditation, living room yoga, spending quality time with loved ones, trying out a new recipe, learning a new hobby, finally sit down to write that book you’ve been wanting to write for years.   What does Self-care and Self-love look like for you?   Take care of yourself, so you can take care of each other   Practice Saucha, the first of the Niyamas of Patanjali’s eight limbs of yoga. Saucha is cleanliness of your body, and also cleanliness of your environment, mind and spirit.   We’re all fanatically cleaning our hands until they feel like alligator scales, and by the looks of the grocery store shelves, we’re Lysoling everything in our home. So, you may be practicing cleanliness of your body and home, and you can also practice saucha by de-cluttering your mind, cleaning it of worry and anxiety.   Yes, we have a pandemic to fear. But recycling the what-ifs and replaying a scenario in your head don’t serve you.   On a spiritual level too, practicing saucha is extending cleanliness and clarity to others through kind thoughts towards each other instead of hostile judgment and guarded haste.   Walls can be built and borders can be closed to keep people out, but this pandemic is showing us that we, as a world, are closely connected.   We are a country that is more and more divided, but it’s up to you have you show up. Empathy goes a long way!   We are all in this together. Take care of yourself, so you can take care of each other.   Peace begins with you. I’m thinking of you and sending you love and support. You can do this!   I hope today’s episode was helpful to help weather this storm. If it was, I would appreciate you reviewing this podcast and sharing it on IG!   To support you, I’m also hosting FREE online yoga and meditation videos on IG @blissfulaudrey every day for the next 2 weeks. And, I’m working hard to get my mini-course to help with anxiety and raise you up out of scarcity mindset and will be offering this mini-course for only $6 because I want you to have the tools to help you create calm and ground you at uncertain times like these.   Sign up for my newsletter on audreysuttonmills.com to be the first to know about this launch.   Also, my signature online course, Soul School, which launches April 20th with a free webinar and a discount just for you, helps you come home to your Truth: you are enough and you matter and guides you to live your most inspired life and be the person you want to be.

Mark 12:41-44

Our mind’s job is to stay busy. To protect. To analyze. To make sense of things But when our mind runs wild, it can take us into places that aren’t good for us. Byron Katie says, there's “Your Business, Other People’s Business and God’s Business.” Our Ego loves to be right, so it compares us to others. We judge others, we worry about others – their opinions, their actions. How they wronged us, how this person should do something different than what we want, worrying over someone and their choices. We have no control over other people. These stories of others play over and over in our head exhausting our energy. It’s Wasted time of energy. Makes us small. When I tell someone “I just want you to be happy, you should do this, I wish He was like this, I care about you that why I tell you should do X,” this is me getting into someone else’s business. Gossiping about someone is an obvious way we are getting into someone else’s business. It’s low level energy and does absolutely nothing for our soul. In fact, it depletes it with judgement, negativity and smallness. But even sharing information about someone else’s life is a way, our minds keep us busy. I used to talk about other people because I didn’t think I had much to share about myself and it made me feel important that I knew what was going on with other people’s lives. It’s not productive or important. I have no control over it. We worry about things that are in God’s hands – call it source, the universe – things like the weather, catastrophes, life and death. Things we have no control over. We spend our energy on these things and they actually can sway our feelings and moods. Think about it: the weather is rainy, so it ruins your day. YOUR day? Or you get angry over a catastrophe and let your mind ruminate over it for days. Or the injustice of something that is completely out of your control. While it’s good to feel your feelings, worrying about anything that you don’t have direct control over is futile. It causes conflict in your mind. It keeps you stuck in business that is exhausting. The only thing we have control over is ourselves. Our thoughts, actions, words. When you focus your energy on what YOU do have control over, life shifts and your perspective changes. You no longer need to feel in resistance to what’s going on in life. you can feel, accept and let go. You no longer need to feel like a victim, because you know you have the power of your thoughts, choice and actions. You no longer need to hold on to resentments and judgement. You can be free to let people be who they are, and you focus on you. I don’t know about you, but that sounds pretty liberating! I’ve let other people, my grudges, opinions, the weather, outside circumstances control me, because I’ve been trying to control it. The Invitation this week is to notice when your mind drifts to putting in energy somewhere that you don’t have any control. Check in with yourself and see if this is a good place for your energy. Is it the most productive and healthy place to spend your thought? Redirect it to only things you have control over. This will help refocus your mind from mindless chatter, what ifs, worry, fear and comparison. It will help you step into your authentic power of what you DO have control over. This is ultimate power, this is ultimate love, this ultimate living in the present moment.

Are you doing God's Business? Where not talking about money. What has God entrusted to you? Are you doing what He expects or has asked? Are you even doing the minimum or are you just wrapping it up in a handkerchief and hiding it? Want to do something big for God-prove your obedience by being willing to do the small stuff.

Since the first Easter Day, disciples of Jesus have felt fear. In these days, too, Christians may have good reason to be fearful. But Jesus comes with four words that change everything. [Organ - Easter 2]

Acts 12:6-16 When you have enough time with Jesus under your belt, you develop the peace of God that goes beyond whatever circumstance you may be facing at any given time. When you have spent enough time with Jesus, you know who holds the future.

With all that is going on in the world today, many are starting to doubt, fear and panic. One thing we must do is get back into our word and remember God is Real. We must get out of his way and remember that God is in control. The Bible is clear when it states that God's will happens exactly as He purposes. With that being said, "God Can Handle His Business." Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as he provides biblical teaching as it relates to this topic today live at 11:30am Pacific. For questions or to join in on the conversation call 516 387-1914

Are you on fire for the lord? Are you taking care of God's Business? Are you so consumed with the world til when it comes to your relationship with God you are on empty? As Believers many have a misconseption when it come to being an active Christian. When I think of the word lazy several forms of laziness came to my mind other than being Church Lazy or a Lazy Christian. Yet today we have so many Lazy Christians.  Many would say, " I attend church every Sunday." " I feed the poor and pay my tithes." These are just to name a few. So what does it mean to be a lazy Christian? Can one be so busy yet still be a lazy Christian? Let's examine this question. Become aware by acknowledging and breaking bad habits. Life is too short to be lazy.  Join Pastor Daniel Estell and I as we discuss this topic. Let's be about God's Business and be active for the lord. Live 10/9/18 at 11:30am.
