Today we look at Jesus and His disciples. Jesus is perfect. Disciples are not. How is that supposed to work? In fact, in Mark 9, there are at least 5 shortcomings of the disciples. They are not Pharisees. Their hearts are good. But their walk was imperfect. Let's look at that list and appreciate how gracious and kind Jesus is! But there is also a call to growth. He is patient but He also has expectations. I hope you can look at this list today and pick some things you want to grow in out of gratitude to Jesus. Asserting instead of Listening with Patience (Mark 9:1-8)Failing instead of Succeeding through Faith (9:14-29)Missing instead of Understanding His Plan (9:9-11, 30-32)Disputing instead of Serving with Humility (9:33-37)Opposing instead of Receiving in Fellowship (9:38-41)May we be a people who grow through this to greater faith:Listening with PatienceSucceeding through FaithUnderstanding His WillHumbly ServingReceiving in Fellowship

What does it mean to follow Jesus or to say, "I am a Christian?" With the recent Asbury Revival igniting new conversations around faith, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender decided to share the highs and lows of their individual faith journeys and getting to know Jesus. Darlene grew up in a strict church environment with a lot of rules, while Julie's Methodist church emphasized the importance of relationships and feeling connected with others in the house of God. Both took paths that brought them closer to Jesus but encountered moments of pride and self-righteousness in their faith that they later learned couldn't prevent real-life heartache. They chat about the beauty and difficulty of having a relationship with Jesus, the beauty in our imperfect lives with Him, the hope and comfort He offers us, and why we need to learn to trust Him when He says He loves us unconditionally. Quote of the episode: “This is why we need Jesus: because we cannot be perfect.” —Julie Bender Resources Related articles: —Battered Faith: Holding On To Hope Even When You Struggle —Building Faith: Growing In Your Relationship With God Related episodes: —Does The Bible Need To Be Part Of Our Lives? with Steve Wiggins – 173 —If You Want To Grow In Faith, Try These Simple Things – 144 Follow Us on Social Media!

Knowing how hard it can be she also understands how easy it can be to want to quit. But when God calls you to it He will equip you through it!   Now her desire is to encourage other families to take the leap and homeschool. Tiffany wrote "I Quit! Confessions of an Imperfect Homeschool Mom" to help you step into this journey, and stay the course even when you want to pull your hair out!! In her book she shares how when you start seeing your children have AHA moments or start to produce fruit from the seeds you have planted, it is so worth it.    Top three takeaways  Homeschool isn't this prison where everything has to be ridged and stressful. Homeschool can be a place of rest, peace, and freedom.  Homeschool doesn't have to be this big scary monster, but it can be a place of fun, freedom, and family.  Most of the time, our children tend to overcommunicate in public and have to reign it in from time to time. Homeschooling does not equal children who lack social skills.    Call to Action  Tiffany Wasson Website    What is Next!  Thank you for supporting this show by listening and sharing with friends! If you like this podcast please rate and write a review of how this show has impacted or helped you!   Great ratings will accelerate the show's visibility to the nation so others can learn more about homeschool and find quality curriculum and the potentially join the homeschool community thus change the face of education forever!!   Who would have thought that we could change the education world with a click and a share!  Also if you would like to hear more about any specific educational topic please email me at realedtalk@gmail.com I would love to support your families educational needs in all areas!!   Bex Buzzie  The Homeschool Advantage Podcast

God honors faithfulness, endurance, obedience and sacrifice. In today's teaching, Pastor David Maestas reads through Luke 1:6-1:16 and reminds us that we are not responsible for the results of our obedience, we are simply responsible for our obedience. God searches for the willing and the faithful. God changed the world with deeply imperfect men who believed in Him, He equipped them and prepared them, and led the way. He did this so that He received the glory; people were able to see the good works that God could do through the men the world considered 'weak'. He calls the hotheads, doubters and tax collectors. He simply calls you to come. Are you willing?

When it comes to being used by God or having a purpose, we expect it to go perfectly. God is perfect; so if we're following Him, we think our lives will be perfect. Then, once things go differently than we thought they would, we begin to doubt God's ability to use us. Once we fail, make a mistake, end up in a different direction than we thought — we view our purpose as over. However, God never said that our lives had to flow smoothly to be used by Him (just look at Moses, David, Abraham, JESUS). He will still use us, as long as we don't get stuck and frustrated when things don't go according to plan. God has a plan; but by the time it's all said and done, it won't look perfect.

Rahab was not living what most would call a “morally-pure” life when the Israelite spies met her. In fact, many would claim that disqualified her from being used by God. However, she was the one God used to protect the Israelite spies and help them escape Jericho. Her history didn't disqualify her as most would think; but rather, it prepared her. You may think that what you've done has disqualified you or counted you out from being used by God; but if you'll flip the perspective, you'll often find that it prepared you.

Scripture: Matthew 4.23-24, 5.1-5.About the Series, The Lives We Actually Have: We often think spirituality is waiting until some future date when our lives are less of a mess; when the problems are overcome and the conflict is resolved; when the anxiety and fear are quieted; when the doubts and questions are answered; when our bodies ache less; when the pain and grief soften. Our days are complicated by feelings and frustrations that don't seem altogether spiritual. During this Season of Lent as we walk with Jesus, we will lean into the promise that in the actual days we live – pain-filled, lovely, ordinary, garbage days – there are hidden blessings.Join us each Sunday, 10AM at bendfp.org, or 11AM KTVZ-CW Channel 612/12 in Bend.  Subscribe/Follow, and click the bell for alerts.At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually.

Until he passed away in 2021, Colin Powell was revered as one of America's most trusted and admired leaders. Jeffrey J. Matthews' Colin Powell: Imperfect Patriot (U Notre Dame Press, 2019) demonstrates that Powell's decades-long development as an exemplary subordinate is crucial to understanding his astonishing rise from a working-class immigrant neighborhood to the highest echelons of military and political power, including his roles as the country's first Black national security advisor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and secretary of state. Once an aimless, ambitionless teenager who barely graduated from college, Powell became an extraordinarily effective and staunchly loyal subordinate to many powerful superiors who, in turn, helped to advance his career. By the time Powell became chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he had developed into the consummate follower--motivated, competent, composed, honorable, and independent. The quality of Powell's followership faltered at times, however, while in Vietnam, during the Iran-Contra scandal, and after he became George W. Bush's secretary of state. Powell proved a fallible patriot, and in the course of a long and distinguished career he made some grave and consequential errors in judgment. While those blunders do not erase the significance of his commendable achievements amid decades of public service, we can learn much from his good and bad leadership.

It has been one year since Russia launched its escalated invasion of Ukraine that has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and millions of Ukrainians displaced, exiled, or kidnapped. We have been covering the Kremlin's genocidal ambitions and how Ukraine has been used as a petri dish for operatives to experiment with attacks on democracy since we launched Gaslit Nation in 2018. This brutal escalation was a long time coming -- and Ukraine knew it, which is why Ukrainians were able to fend off Russian invaders while the West offered only belated and limited support. We discuss what's changed since February 2022, what Ukraine still needs to win, Biden's recent visit, and the geopolitical consequences of the war for the rest of the world. We also discuss the importance of US territorial integrity and sovereignty as insurrectionists here seek to divide and conquer in a way reminiscent of (and often financially backed by) Kremlin operatives. The rest of our episode is an interview with Ukraine expert Yana Prymachenko of Princeton University. From the university's website, “A native of Ukraine, Yana Prymachenko received her Ph.D. from the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. She was a research scholar at the Institute of History of Ukraine from 2003 to 2022. She joined the faculty at Princeton as Visiting Scholar in the fall of 2022. Her research interests vary greatly, ranging from the Soviet culture in the 1920s-30s, the history of the Second World War, the memory politics in Russia and Eastern Europe to the study of Soviet propaganda and informational wars.” For our bonus episode, available to Patreon subscribers at the Truth-Teller level or higher, we answer questions sent in by our listeners! We discuss whether Merrick Garland's failures are a feature or a bug, what to do when good causes get hijacked by bad actors, the continued attacks on LGBTQ Americans, the discrepancy between Biden's foreign and domestic policies, and much more! Gaslit Nation is funded entirely by listeners and we need your support to survive. If you appreciate what we do -- and would like bonus episodes and other perks – please join us on Patreon.

Leading A Life Of Impact With Tony Whatley

Tony Whatley bought his first car at the age of 14. The 1969 Camaro was a rusty, 20-year-old car, but Tony had a vision for it. Before the days of eBay, Tony and his dad would hit up swap meets and junk yards to restore this car to its former glory. It was through this process that Tony developed his love for cars, which would lead him to pursue a mechanical engineering degree. While pursuing that, Tony worked full-time, hustling and grinding. Always sleep-deprived and broke, Tony hated that time in his life but knows that it was crucial in making him who he is today. Further inspiration came when Tony had a near-death experience while racing in 2015. Having faced death, nothing else could scare Tony anymore, other than leaving this world without making an impact. Since then, he's no longer afraid to share his bold opinions, but only after he's done his research to back them up. He believes fundamentals, like consistency and discipline, will take you far. With 12 of his former staff members going on to build 7, 8, and even 9-digit businesses, Tony has literally written the book on how to be a Sidehustle Millionaire. His company 365 Driven encompasses his roles as a podcast host, author, mentor, and coach. Through 365 Driven, Tony hopes to inspire others to remain driven every day. 365 Driven is a movement that takes entrepreneurs to the next level. Tony recognizes the biggest regret of entrepreneurs is that they didn't start sooner. So many of us are afraid of the potential critics that we find ourselves waiting until everything is perfect before we begin. Spoiler alert: nothing will ever be perfect. Imperfect action beats overthinking every time. Tony helps entrepreneurs to get out of their own heads to either start or grow their businesses. Tony has a true knack for creating an emotional connection so that the lesson or takeaway really sticks. What You'll Learn: What freedom of speech really means. What the rules of debate are and why they matter. How to have emotional control and why it's important. The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Favorite Quote: “The people that make a lot of impact in this world are emotionally stable.” -Tony Whatley How to Get Connected: 365 Driven

Let's discuss the value of imperfection. We often get caught up in a cycle of perfectionism when it comes to succeeding in life. We strive to not make any mistakes, to get everything right the first time, and to put our best foot forward. But what if I told you that imperfection can actually be an asset? The power of imperfection lies in the fact that it allows us to learn and adapt to new situations. Embracing imperfection gives us the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them, instead of being afraid of falling short and letting that fear limit our growth. Instead of resenting mistakes, use them as tools to help you understand different concepts and problem-solve more effectively. My goal with this episode is to help you realize that there's no such thing as perfect. Embrace the unknown and keep pushing yourself further. I promise you, it will be worth it. Takeaways

Dismantle the idea that imperfect means unworthy, and heal the wounds of perfectionism.  Renew your mind and embrace your worth from your journey, rather than on the outcome you earned or what you did.  Lessons come from the errors and imperfections, and it's the "flaw" that can become the beautiful trademark that makes one "perfectly" unique. Be a Recovering Perfectionist,. and eschew the idea that anything short of perfect is wrong.  Approach and enjoy life more as an open-ended rhetorical question instead of a fixed and finite multiple choice test!
