Grace, Gratitude, and the Glory of God in 2025 (2 Corinthians 4:15) - Morning Sermon
Amidst the fast pace of life, this episode dives into the transformative power of small yet profound actions. Guest Michael O'Brien shares his inspiring journey from a near-fatal cycling accident to becoming a beacon of resilience, mindfulness, and intentional living. His framework, GRACE—Gratitude, Reflection, Awareness, Community, and Energy—emphasizes the importance of reframing adversity, finding gratitude in the present, and using breath as a tool to navigate life's challenges. Highlighting the ripple effect of kindness and connection, Michael demonstrates how embracing moments of pause can lead to deeper self-awareness, better relationships, and a life aligned with purpose. With practical insights and heartfelt anecdotes, this conversation motivates listeners to slow down, breathe, and focus on what truly matters. Key Takeaways How the GRACE framework serves as a practical tool for navigating challenges and fostering a mindset shift. The concept of "Pause, Breathe, Reflect" interrupts reactive behavior, allowing for thoughtful responses in moments of stress. How reframing traumatic experiences can shift the narrative from "happening to me" to "happening for me," fostering personal growth. Building a strong community or “peloton” of support for recovery and resilience. Utilizing breathing techniques, such as box breathing, as simple yet effective methods for grounding oneself in high-stress situations. About the Guest: Breathe in…Breathe out… It's time to Pause, Breathe, and Reflect with Michael O'Brien. Michael is like a reactive mind circuit breaker who helps leaders prevent a bad moment from turning into a bad day so they can perform at a higher level. He's a survivor of a horrific near-death cycling accident called his Last Bad Day and years in the corporate executive suite, and in 2022, he used the power of mindfulness, grit, resilience and his peloton to ride his bike across America. www.michaelobrienshift.com Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco Thanks for listening!

What does it look like to live a spirit-filled life? If we are truly empowered by the Spirit, shouldn't that be noticeable in our work life, in our relationships, in our witness? If so, how?Far too many of us live lives that are too much like our friends and neighbors who don't follow Christ. We're living an everyday life when a supernatural life is available to us. We're living beneath our privilege as sons and daughters of God.Project Rescuehttps://forms.ministryforms.net/embed.aspx?formId=fa9ab3d6-70fd-403a-ba47-fd5b63d77a8a

Raise your hand if you look at the world today and think to yourself, "surely this is the worst time in history." You are certainly not alone and the reality is- there are in fact some very difficult things happening in our culture and around the world. This worldview has caused many of us to lose hope, and see the world through a lens far from optimistic. We invited on our friend Zach Windahl, the author of See the Good to talk through what actually is happening in the world around us and help us to change the narrative. Through this conversation you will hear: - Why it feels like the world is worse now more than any other time fun history - We're born with a negativity bias and to always be on edge: This profound phenomenon explained - Steps for the person who is not naturally an optimist: How we can all see the good without minimizing difficult things- What it means to evaluate who is at our table, and extend invitations to those outside of 'cultural norms' - What some of the best ways are to help those around us to see the good-How to navigate reoccurring negative thoughts about a particular person or place Whether you are a person of faith, consider yourself a pessimist or optimist...This conversation is one that applies to humanity as a whole! My hope is that you listen to the episode in entirety for the sake of finding renewed grace, gratitude and optimism in your everyday!
