The title of today's message is "Jesus Didn't Die for Our Mistakes." If that sounds a little odd to you because you've been listening to current Christian music, I encourage you to listen to today's message, especially if you think that maybe I'm wrong. I want you to see what the Bible has to say about Jesus dying, not for our mistakes, is, is to say that's the way we've always done it. I remember many decades ago our congregation was deciding whether we would keep 11 o'clock as our worship time, or move it to 10, and there were two main arguments to keep it at 11 o'clock. One was, because that's the way we always did it, the second was, well some other member of our denomination who may be traveling would get the wrong time. Sermon Notes Ephesians 2:1 We were dead in our trespasses and sins Romans 3:23 All have sinned and come short of God's glory Romans 5:6 – 8 While we were still sinners Christ died for us Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death 1 John 1:5 – 10 Denying our sins simply is self-delusional Romans 10:8 – 13 Confession and belief results in salvation Ephesians 2:4 – 9 Saved by grace through faith
Episode 30: Molley and Chad interview Missy Johnson, owner of Lake Girl Apparel. We're going to talk about her brand and how it was a perfect fit, given Missy's love for the water. Hey, if you're going to enjoy the Lake Life, you should look good while you're doing it, right? Be sure to listen to the end of the episode for a special offer! How Did Lake Girl Get Started? Missy lives in Minnesota (“the land of 10,000 lakes). Lake Girl started in 2002, in Detroit Lakes, MN. The original founder, Peggy, founded the store and focused more on a wholesale business model. About 5 years ago, another company, LakeShirts purchased the company and took the Lake Girl brand nationwide. Molley comments that Lake Girl clothes are available in the ship store at the State Dock Marina on Lake Cumberland, where she and Chad boat. She loves the quality and softness of the shirts and sweatshirts. Missy mentions how these products last forever, but people keep buying them because of the quality. How Did Missy Get Involved in the Lake Life? Missy begins my letting listeners know that there's a lake everywhere you turn in Minnesota. The state's nickname is, “The Land of 10,000 Lakes.” The Lake Life lifestyle is embraced throughout both the summer and the winter. During the warm months, people go boating and swimming. During the cold months, people are right back out there, ice fishing and ice skating. Missy admits she actually lives on a river, but that's perfect because Lake Girl also has a River Girl collection. She tells a quick story about recently taking a friend kayaking on the river. The experience helped her friend to get over her fear of the water and now, she's a River Girl. It's part of the power a great experience on the water and the surrounding nature has to change a person's life. Molley agrees. As soon as she and Chad get back on the lake, those deep breaths of fresh air melt away the stress and helps them to rebalance their busy lives. Chad talks about how this podcast got its start. They noticed there weren't a lot of podcasts focusing on lake boating, which is their passion. It's something for people who enjoy being out on the water having fun. There's a huge community out there and Lake Life with Molley and Chad is providing a way for people to connect, learn and just enjoy life in general. It's a big family. Molley adds that Chad tries to work in a boat ramp story on as many episodes as possible. That prompts Missy to admit that they spend time sitting back watching people try to put in or take out their boats, all the time. If you'd like to hear some funny stories, check out the following episodes: Don't Be That Guy!, Ramp Etiquette and Trailer Safety and Learn from Our Mistakes. Has Missy Always Been a River Girl? Molley asks Missy about this, noting that it gets really cold, really fast in Minnesota. Missy agrees, but then describes the surreal experience of having an actual bonfire on the lake. It's a wonderful advantage to having such cold weather. Another great reason Missy enjoys the colder weather is because it brings the opportunity to simply stand there and breath in that cold, fresh air while on or around the water. There's nothing like it. Missy's also looking forward to bundling up and paddling down the river to look at all of the autumn foliage and the wonderful colors. It's actually going to be here first time and she's taking the friend she mentioned earlier. They can't wait! Missy grew up near the Mississippi river and it was always a place she loved because it allowed her to cleanse her mind. Water has always been part of her life. Ironically, it's how she returns to feeling “grounded.” There's a funny story about how Missy and her boyfriend got to enjoy a waterpark with a lazy river. After that, she told him she wanted him to build one for her. A week or so later, they found a house for sale on a slow-moving river. Now, her boyfriend often asks, “How's this for a lazy river?” How Does Lake Girl Apparel Standout from the Competition? Missy starts by saying the Lake Girl is their brand and if you see clothing with that name, it came from them. They work with a specialty designer so the looks and products are able to change frequently. Currently, they launch roughly 4 different designs per month. They also have a Lake Baby brand. It's part of their Impulse Kids collection, which includes Dockboy collection, in addition to the River Girl collection, mentioned earlier. Missy returns to the important aspect of quality. She's received tons of stories from customers who constantly wear the clothing, without wearing it out. It's part of why, in her opinion, the Lake Girl brand enjoys so many repeat purchases from its loyal customer-base. Many of these customers love to visit their wholesale locations to see what's new. Here's a link to the store locator. Lake Girl Is About More than just Clothing Missy mentions that the brand's best-seller is their All-American brand caps. These are a customer favorite, year after year. Every lake girl has to have a hat on the lake. They've recently added drinkware and mugs. And, if you're looking for more Lake Girl swag, check out the magnets and keychains. After all, ever girl knows it's always about accessorizing, right? Missy also mentions their waterproof, tear-proof stickers. They'll make it through the dishwasher. They'll last on your car or take-along other surfaces. If you're decorating your she-shed with a Lake Girl theme, don't forget to pick up on of their signs and a bottle opener. What Inspired Missy to Add the Lake Girl Brand to Her Company? Missy's main company is LakeShirts. Truthfully, it kind of fell into place. The original Lake Girl warehouse was located across the street, so integrating the two made sense for the business, as well as the customers. Missy joined the LakeShirts company five years ago. She brought a lot of retail experience. Once the Lake Girl brand was added, it was a perfect fit for Missy (see what we did there?). Lake Girl has really benefitted from the infrastructure and reach that LakeShirts had already established in the market. Do the Employees Enjoy the Lake Life? Every chance they get. In fact, they just created a design, “Off the Clock, On the Dock!” Missy things the initial inventory was sold out just from staff purchases, even before it made it to the website. The company is full of lake enthusiasts who work and play together in their tight-knit community. There Really is a Detroit Lake The company is in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Missy estimates they have 5-7 lakes within a 15-mile radius. What's the Biggest Recreational Activity in their Area? Fishing is incredibly popular, because it can be done year-round. People fish from the bank, wading near the shores, off boats and yes, through the ice. The boating season in the Detroit Lake area last about 3 months. Missy admits you can stretch it to 4.5 months, if you're brave. Speaking of brave, they also have a polar plunge tradition. This is when people jump into the frigid water, during the winter. There's a health benefit, but more importantly, they've turned it into a charity event.

A rainy Wednesday to everyone and I hope that you are well, safe, and dry. For today's episode, we talk about ways to overcome self-doubt. There will always be a point in our lives wherein we will be asking ourselves if we are doing enough. I mean, you may be wondering "kaya ba today?" Self-doubt is a feeling of being uncertain about ourselves. More often it attacks our confidence and we tend to curve in our shells. Some will relate that introversion is equal to self-doubt but there are introverts that have full confidence in the field that they are in so that already nullifies such claims. Speaking of self-doubt - before releasing this blog and podcast I always have this mental battle wherein I talk to myself asking " Who am I to share stuff about personal development? Empowerment to others where in fact I also struggle to such?" But I still did it, because #1 if I will not be creating such content then I will not be getting any money on the side ( Sa totoo lang tayo) then # 2 Is I actually have some listeners already that leaves wonderful comments on my contents. According to what I have read, one of the factors that affect self-doubt is trauma and experiences from childhood and sometimes with concerns about attachments. A child that was raised by parents that supports them and were natured well without any judgment tends to do well and have very little chance of self-doubts. Versus children being told by the primary caregiver that they are not good and their efforts are not enough. Have you experienced such remarks before when growing up? It doesn't matter if it is from your parents or other people. Our Mistakes in the past sometimes haunt us. More often we just shrug off the experiences that we have in the past but not the tragic ones. Bad experiences always leave a bad taste in everyone so as our confidence. Imagine yourself stuttering in a report that you had prepared for days when you are studying at school. Your classmates laugh at you get ridiculed for how you speak and how you mess up. These such instances create a mental scar in someone's life wherein hinders the growth and if there's a chance to report again more often than not you will just volunteer to write everything in the manila paper or just hold the props but never - ever again try to speak in front. ( True experience yarn?) No normal person will be immune to doubting oneself ( unless you are a narcissist ) and now we are going to talk about how we can get the best stuff still while we are doubting. Doubt Your Doubts. Will you believe if I tell you that self-doubts are something that our mind processed to protect us rather than harm? However, such doubts start to take a toll in our lives and we are eaten by the fear of trying new stuff. Always remember these doubts are not the truth and probably these are the scenarios that were played in our minds multiple times until these become our shackles to accept what we are capable of. Ask yourself rather than doubt what if I am thinking the opposite? What is your biggest "why"? Start whatever you have right now.

We all have money mistakes. Some of us have more and bigger mistakes than others....(slowly raises our hands to both). FAILING FORWARD John Maxwell has a wonderful book called Failing Forward. What he emphasizes is one of the most valuable lessons one can learn in life and it is this... Failure in and of itself is not bad. The most important thing is how you respond to failure. You can learn from it and try again and get better or you can walk away and let it prevent you from growing. Most of you know our money story and know we've made quite a few money mistakes. The biggest one of them being student loan debt. The stress and magnitude of our student loan debt has been a barrier, mentally, emotionally and financially for years. The enormity of our debt was also one of the catalysts for us to seek out help and eventually find the financial independence community. We now have hope. Hope not just for ourselves - but for a different future for our children. We have had lots of time to think about the things we would have done differently and steps we will be taking to ensure our children do not follow in our footsteps when it comes to debt. OUR MISTAKES: 1. Lack of knowledge and options about how to pay for school without debt. 2. Taking out more money than we needed. 3. Not aggressively paying them off immediately after graduation. 4. Not taking advantage of the Public Student Loan Forgiveness programs (PSLF) WHAT WE WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY AND WHAT WE ARE DOING DIFFERENTLY FOR OUR CHILDREN: 1. Talking with our children and educating ourselves about options with how to pay for college. Scholarships Extra-curricular scholarships Military 2. Options for College. Community College Clep Testing Trade Schools 3. Defraying Costs for College 529 Plans Stay at home!
