Pastor John Ryan Cantu brings this week's message, “The Struggle." Links: Give to PNEUMA Church Key Verses: Genesis 32:22-28 NLT “During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River with them. After taking them to the other side, he sent over all his possessions. This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break. When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob's hip and wrenched it out of its socket. Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking!” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” “What is your name?” the man asked. He replied, “Jacob.” “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” the man told him. “From now on you will be called Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have won.”” Genesis 32:3-8 NLT “Then Jacob sent messengers ahead to his brother, Esau, who was living in the region of Seir in the land of Edom. He told them, “Give this message to my master Esau: ‘Humble greetings from your servant Jacob. Until now I have been living with Uncle Laban, and now I own cattle, donkeys, flocks of sheep and goats, and many servants, both men and women. I have sent these messengers to inform my Lord of my coming, hoping that you will be friendly to me.'” After delivering the message, the messengers returned to Jacob and reported, “We met your brother, Esau, and he is already on his way to meet you—with an army of 400 men!” Jacob was terrified at the news. He divided his household, along with the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups. He thought, “If Esau meets one group and attacks it, perhaps the other group can escape.”” Sermon Topics: Struggle

Ever wonder how you will achieve the monumental tasks required of you at work? Few people realize that they’re already surrounded by all the resources they need to reach their goals. There are people around you who would be happy to help. All you have to do is ask, but most people simply don’t make the request. Today, we’ve brought in an expert who has helped people and organizations successfully build cultures where anyone can tap into the giving power of what is actually a massive network of resources.  Dr. Wayne Barker is a Professor of Business Administration and Professor of Management & Organizations at University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and Faculty Director of the Center for Positive Organizations. His work focuses on social networks, generosity, values, and positive organizational scholarship. He is the author of All You Have To Do Is Ask: How To Master the Most Important Skill For Success as well as five other books and many scholarly articles. Today, Dr. Baker describes his findings surrounding generosity. He’s discovered that most people are willing and even eager, to help others. The disconnect often occurs because people are reluctant to ask for help when they most need it.  Dr. Baker discusses how organizations can best make use of generosity while making sure that everyone’s needs are met and acknowledged. This requires intentionally building a culture of generosity. To that end, Dr. Baker shares tools and strategies that any organization can use to help achieve this.  What are you working on and what do you need? Go ahead and ask in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode The innate generosity of human beings & the dangers of dysfunctional generosity  What it means to build a culture of generosity How joining a culture of generosity can change someone’s own sense of giving and receiving Specific practices for building a culture of generosity and guidance on how to formulate requests  Tools to help automate the question asking process Getting past the fear of asking for help, especially with “dormant connections”   Quotes “Everyone wants a culture of generosity. But it turns out the barrier is not that people are unwilling or unable to help, but that people are reluctant to ask for what they need.” [3:22] “The best workplaces make routines and rituals where it’s expected to ask for help and to give help.” [11:39] “Sometimes help comes from very unlikely places. It’s because we have networks. We have networks that extend way out into the world.” [18:58]   Links Give and Take Inc.
