PTSD is a lasting consequence of traumatic ordeals that cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Examples of things that can bring on PTSD include sexual or physical assault, the unexpected death of a loved one, an accident, war, or natural disaster.

And they ravaged the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.2 It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?” 4 So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5 And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.”6 So David sent word to Joab, “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David. 7 When Uriah came to him, David asked how Joab was doing and how the people were doing and how the war was going. 8 Then David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” And Uriah went out of the king's house, and there followed him a present from the king. 9 But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house. 10 When they told David, “Uriah did not go down to his house,” David said to Uriah, “Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?” 11 Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field. Shall I then go to my house, to eat and to drink and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.” 12 Then David said to Uriah, “Remain here today also, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 13 And David invited him, and he ate in his presence and drank, so that he made him drunk. And in the evening he went out to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.14 In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, that he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died. 18 Then Joab sent and told David all the news about the fighting. 19 And he instructed the messenger, “When you have finished telling all the news about the fighting to the king, 20 then, if the king's anger rises, and if he says to you, ‘Why did you go so near the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall? 21 Who killed Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman cast an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, ‘Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'”22 So the messenger went and came and told David all that Joab had sent him to tell. 23 The messenger said to David, “The men gained an advantage over us and came out against us in the field, but we drove them back to the entrance of the gate. 24 Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall. Some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” 25 David said to the messenger, “Thus shall you say to Joab, ‘Do not let this matter displease you, for the sword devours now one and now another. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.' And encourage him.”26 When the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she lamented over her husband. 27 And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.We can, bravely, put on a uniform to protect community, and country, but relinquish our duties as brave parent(s), and leader(s), to the culture of unchecked wokeness.-Watson Prunier, SOChttps://www.fatherly.com/love-money/why-its-so-hard-men-say-i-love-you-to-fathers“He Makes it So Awkward”: 8 Men On Why It's Hard to Tell Their Dads They Love Them1.

We have a lot of crazy ideas about God. Lots of them. We talk about His discipline- and how harsh it can be. How he scourges us to get us “in line.” As if God is very much like the high school hall monitor that was always waiting to catch us… … but on a cosmic level, one with bigger ramifications.

Jesus is the Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. He Makes us a Kingdom, and Priests. He is Worthy of all Glory and He has Dominion over All.

Have you ever considered loving yourself unconditionally? No strings attached. Getting up each day, happy about who you are, and looking forward to what the day would unfold? Have you taken the time to think about who you want to be, where you want to go, and write down your ideal-self characteristics, values, and morals and looking into the future of the happiness, peace, prosperity, and accomplishment that you have and achieve? The best way to do that is to start with spending time with God. Get to know Him and who He is. When you see God, you will see who you were created to be—made in His image and likeness. Take time each day to connect with God, letting Him know He is your priority. Spend time in His presence, developing a solid relationship with Him. Learning and depending on His: Character Power, Grace, Wisdom, Love, Compassion Simply spending time in His presence, not asking for anything other than spending time with Him. I won't keep you long today because I'd like for you to take a few moments and pull aside and focus on God. Make Him your priority. Get rid of all distractions. Mute your phone and lay it face down. Turn off the television. Find a quiet place and pull aside. Tell God how much you love Him and how you can't live without Him. Tell Him what He means to you. Remind Him how He Makes you feel. Make it clear to God that you can't live without Him. Bask in the love and intense emotions and feelings that spring up inside you that you can't explain, and their intensity catches you off guard. I Challenge you to Love on God. His nature is so kind and wonderful that before you can finish telling Him how you feel and what you think, He will overwhelm you with the love and feelings that He has for you. I've tried to outlove God several times. And have been reduced to a pile of joyous tears and unspeakable happiness. God is Amazing. I'm tearing up now, just thinking about His love. CONCLUSION I challenge you to start with one minute – 60 seconds. Start telling God how much you love Him and what He means to you and watch Him overtake you with His love. Psalm 22:3 says, “God inhabits the praises of His people.” Be prepared to be overwhelmed!

Can hard work be... restful?? Absolutely. Join me this week and we'll talk about how. (If you missed my episode releases the last couple weeks, it's because I was... resting! It was one of those "He MAKES me lie down in green pastures" things, as I was recovering from dengue fever. Beautiful Jesus has now healed me. So we continue our series on Rest for Your Soul!)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He MAKES me lie down in green pastures.

Subject: Experiencing God Speaker or Performer: Don Pucik, NSBA Missions Strategist Scripture Passage(s): Luke 5:1-11 Date of Delivery: May 3, 2020 NOTESReality #3: God invites you to become involved with him in his work.He Makes the First Move.

The Resurrection of Christ is the Most Important event in the History of Mankind. Without it, nothing fits. With it, everything fits. The resurrection is the true essance of the Easter Holiday, not a little bunny rabbit with chocolate eggs. Jesus rose again and is seated on the Throne. He defeated sin, death and the Grave. Becasue He lives, we live! Because He rose, we too shall rise again! All those in Jesus Christ are a New Creation. Behold, He Makes all things New! This was our Resurrection sunday message for 2020.

I was in Houston for the Spark Christian Podcast Conference where I was speaking. It was a great event for the first time out of the gate and I met some really cool people. My buddy Sunny from the IPN asked me if I wanted to go see Joel Osteen who runs the largest church in America and is also an author and someone I refer to as "Happy Jesus Man." Jole is incredibly successful (his church is the building where the Houston Rockets professional basketball team played. It's a stadium that holds 16,800 people).  I have listened to Joel on and off over the years. I went to feed my spiritually, but I was also there to observe and look for the clues of his success. You don't get this big without doing something right. Time Codes 01:08 Spark Christian Podcast Conference Review 02:38 What Podcasters Can Learn from Joel Osteen 30:52 How did you get over your self Doubt? 41:10 Free Webinar on Equipment 42:19 Have you surveyed your audience? Joel Started As A Geek Joel was the technical person in his church working with his father. He was the lighting tech and worked for his Dad. Joel Did Something Different There is a style of preaching in the church known as "Hellfire and brimstone." This is where you explain to your audience that if you don't accept Jesus you are going to Hell where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Instead of peaching about the horrors of Hell, Joel went to the bible and found all sorts of scriptures that point out how God wants you to prosper. Some have deemed this the prosperity Gospel, and because it's different than what people previously did, this has its critics. This has not swayed Joel from his message. He is covering the bible the way he wants to. He Makes it Easy for First Time Visitors Sunny and I had walked into what appeared to be a side door, and weren't exactly sure where to go. It was easy to identify who the staff was and we just walked up and said, "Hi this is our first time here." The worker knew exactly what to do and before I could blink I was given to a person who was giving me a tour of the building and explaining that there was a book store and if I wanted to buy anything Joel would sign it at the end of the night. He then escorted us to fourth-row center stage seats. I felt lucky. I felt special. The sanctuary was beautiful. They had cool lights in the ceiling and an amazing backdrop behind the band, and a choir made of people of every shape, size, and color. He Honored The Heritage of the Church and What They Believed in He played clips of his father who started the church and acknowledged those who came before him. Oh, I'm sorry this isn't for you... It's for the academy of podcasters. Let's move on. It Was a Well Oiled Machine There were no lags in the presentation. You didn't see the praise band ask, "He should we move on to the missing thing" and then someone says "Yeah, let's do the missing thing. Let's roll the mission intro." When the song was over, the mission people came out, the spoke about a conference that had just wrapped up. They introduced the video about how they were helping with Ebola in Africa and the video clip came on. Everyone knows what was next. They Through in a Curve Ball Their band did two praise songs (very upbeat - very easy to sing along) that engaged the audience. Then one of the soloists on the stage snuck into the audience at the end of the song. She then launched into an old Christian classic "Nothing but the blood" from the back of the auditorium so the people in the back now get the same view as those in the front. Most music performers pull this trick in concerts. They went back to singing more songs from the front of the stage. Pacing and Anticipation This is a great tip for those narrative style storytellers. They kept the service moving with the music, but about five songs into their performance their backdrop which looked like the galaxy with millions of stars started to reveal the word JESUS in big bright letters as the band hit a crescendo. The place erupts into applause, the band plays louder, hands are raised into the air and as the final notes of the song fade out Joel Osteen takes the stage and opens his message with prayer. Everybody Knows and Does Their Part The band multiple guitar players, keyboardists, and hundreds of backup singers, they all worked together to deliver the song in the best way that connects with the audience. The security for Joel was extensive. They were very good and kept him safe while allowing people to meet and greet him after the service. If you have a show with a host and a co-host someone is driving the show and someone is color commentary. Know Your Point and Back It Up Joel's message could be boiled down to this. "When you're in a bad situation you should still help others who are having problems." All of these scripture references helped illustrate his point. This is similar to the book I recommend Secrets of Dynamic Communications: Prepare with Focus, Deliver with Clarity, Speak with Power by Ken Davis. Explain Things with a Personal Story After sharing some examples from the bible, Joel explained a story about hos his Dad was trying to raise money for a new auditorium but heard about a smaller Spanish church had run out of money for their church and this "Half a church" was just sitting there gathering dust. Even though Joel's Dad needed the money for his project he gave it to the smaller church. Anytime you can make your point with a personal story, I recommend you do it. This gives your audience a chance to get to know you. Joel Was Vulnerable At the end of the story about Joel's father, Joel explained how he is still benefiting by the step his father took. In the middle of the sentence, he paused, tried to say the sentence again, and again he had to stop. His emotions were deep in his thought. He put his hands over his eyes and turned his back to the audience. He said, "I'm sorry yall, I cry to easy, and I cry too much. Nobody booed. Nobody shouted, "HOW UNPROFESSIONAL" and instead they cheered him on. He turned back around with his red eyes, and grabbed a tissue and wiped his eyes. I can't find another way to explain it besides saying this was a "real" moment, and instantly felt more connected with him. Later in the service that I watched on Sunday (where he did the same service), he started one line and said, "Did I say that right? I'm going to say it again." Joel Knows His Why and It Aligns with his Call To Action Joel's goal is to get you to know Jesus and accept him. At the end of the service, he has a call to action to accept Jesus. He Promotes Subscriptions and Makes it Easy During the service and at the end, they put a link to their website on a giant screen with mentions of their podcast. Joel is a Collaborator I see on his website he is doing a service with Kanye West. He SERVED His Audience At the end of the night, he went through hundreds of people meeting them, signing books (or not) and treating each and every person like they were his favorite person in the whole world. He had his crew borrow their phone and snap pictures so they could share it on social media. So they could easily share what a great time they had a Lakewood church. By the time he had made it to me, there was talk he might shut down the line as it was long. He made it through. He was visibly tired. He had just performed a service and was probably feeling the dip as the adrenaline of preaching in front of thousands of people had left his body, but instead of instructing his team to send us home he waved us in knowing it would just add another 30 minutes or so to his evening. Whenever you have a chance to meet your audience to do it and say thank you. How Did You Get Over Self- Doubt To Start Your Podcast? 12:56 Dan Kreiness of the Leader of Learning podcast uses himself as a target audience member. If it holds his attention, it probably holds someone else's attention as well.  John DeRosa of the Classical Theism podcast likes the idea of having guests. If people didn't want to listen to you (they do) they might listen to your guests.  Paul Cheall from Fighting through World War II change the question from nobody would listen to Would they? His downloads are getting a few downloads a day (it features memoirs from his Father).  Holland Webb grom The Afterword podcasts didn't care about others opinions. They did it to have fun talking to each other and if other people want to listen - fine.  Thomas from Novel Marketing had my favorite answer, "When you love your audience more than you care about your own pride you will take steps to publish your show."

(Psalm ‭95:1)‬Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. (‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95:2-3‬) Know and recognize, and understand that the Lord is God! (Psalm 100:2-3)‬It is He Who has made you, not youself and You are His! You are His chid and a sheep of His pasture. The Good Shepherd Who risked and layed down His Own Life for you. The Good Shepherd; Whom you know and recognize (John ‭10:11,14) ‬as a Member of His Own Body. (1Cor 12:27)Who in His love He chose you, actually picked you out for Himself as His own in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy, consecrated and set apart for Him and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. (Ephesians ‭1:4‬) For you are God's Own Workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, (Ephesians 2:10) born anew of the Spirit of God, (John 3:5-7) The Spirit of Adoption (Gal 4:5-6) that Cries Daddy God! The Spirit of God Himself thus testifies together with your own spirit, assuring you that you are the child of God.(Romans ‭8:15-16)‬ You are the child of God! (1 John 3:1) to do those good works which God planned beforehand for you to do, taking paths which He prepared ahead of time, thatyiu should walk in them, living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for you to live. (Ephesians ‭2:10‬)He formed your inward parts; He knotted you together in your mother's Womb. Confess and Praise Him, for you are fearfully and wonderfully made by His Hand; Marvelous and Wonderful are His works, And that my soul knows very well. (Psalm ‭139:14)‬Your frame was not hidden from Him when you were being formed in secret skillfully wrought, intricately and curiously wrought in the depths, the lowest parts of the earth.(Psalm ‭139:15‬)His eyes saw my unformed substance, and in His book all the days of your life were written before one day ever took shape, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalm ‭139:16)‬ Therefore Come Boldly and Confidently into the LORD's Presence. Enter into His Gates with Thanksgiving and His Courts with Praise! Be Thankful and say so to Him, Bless and Affectionately Praise His Name! For the LORD is Good; His Mercy is Everlasting, His Faithfulness and Truth Endure to All Generations.(Ephesians 3:12, Psalms 100:4-5)Be Joyful in the LORD; Rejoice in His Deliverance. After All, You are The Body of Christ, a Member of God's Household, His child, Holy and Blameless and Acceptable Before Him in Love, with His Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit. (Psalms 35:9, Ephesians 2:19, Romans 14:17)Because of Christ Jesus Finished Work on the Cross, you have a Glorous Future and Hope in Christ Jesus that is Guaranteed by God Forever, Who Stamped you with the Seal of the Holy Spirit. (Col 1:20, 27; Jer 29:11; Eph 1:14)Continually Give Thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has Delivered and Drawn you Out of the Dominion of darkness and Transferred you into the Kingdom of His Son He Loves, in Whom you have Redemption by His Blood, the Forgiveness of your sins. (Col 1:3,12-14)Rejoice in the LORD and again i say Rejoice; be Joyful in the Victorious God of your Salvation! The LORD God is your Strength, your Personal Bravery, and your Invincible Army; The Sovereign LORD is your Strength and Salvation.

In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me, Your comforts cheer and delight my soul! (Psalm ‭94:18-19‬)Rejoice in the Lord always, delight, gladden yourself in Him; again I say, Rejoice! (Philippians ‭4:4‬) Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.‭‭(Psalm‬ ‭37:4‬)‬He makes you to ride on the high places of the earth, and you feed on His promises for you and His Faithfulness (2 Tim 2:13) your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. (Isaiah ‭58:14‬) And Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken. All came to pass.‭‭(Joshua‬ ‭21:45‬) The Word of God which lives and abides forever. (I Peter‬ ‭1:23‬)Reoice in the LORD When you are Weak, for the LORD is your Strength, when Overwhelmed You are My Helper, when I am Sick You are My Healer, when I am Distressed You are my Comforter. When I was Lost, you Found me and When I was Dead You Saved me. THANK YOU! LORD!
