Day 2 of 90 - Dig Another Well Genesis 26:1-25 "Purpose is not tied to position, power, or prominence-purpose is about perspective. Purpose is an inner disposition, not an outward obligation. My friend, you are the gift. You are the favor that brightens the jobs where you work. You are the "it factor" that gives color and jazz to the rooms you inhabit." Perspective on Purpose: Have you ever felt like your purpose was limited by your job title or role? How did you navigate that? Overcoming Setbacks: Have you ever experienced a situation where you had to “dig another well” after facing disappointment or failure? What did you learn from it?

Biblical Examples of Solitude (1 minute)** - **Jesus sought solitude for prayer and renewal**: - *"Mark 1:35 says, ‘Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.'"* - *"Jesus made solitude a priority even amidst a demanding ministry."* - **Solitude before major decisions**: - *"Luke 6:12 tells us, ‘Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.'"* - *"Before choosing the twelve disciples, Jesus spent the night alone with the Father."* - **In moments of distress**: - *"In Matthew 26:36, Jesus withdraws to the Garden of Gethsemane, telling His disciples, ‘Sit here while I go and pray over there.'"* #### **3. Benefits of Practicing Solitude (1 minute)** - **Connecting with God**: - *"In solitude, we quiet our hearts to hear God's voice. Psalm 46:10 reminds us, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.'"* - **Strengthening faith**: - "Isaiah 40:31 says, ‘But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.' Solitude renews our spiritual energy." - **Aligning our will with God's**: - *"In the silence, we surrender distractions and refocus on God's purposes for our lives."* 4. Practical Steps for Practicing Solitude - Set aside intentional time: - "Start small—find 10 minutes in your day to unplug from distractions and focus on God." - Choose a quiet location: - "Like Jesus, find a ‘solitary place' where you can focus." - **Use the time to pray and meditate on Scripture**: - "Bring a verse like Psalm 62:5 – ‘My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.'" - "Solitude isn't about escaping life—it's about stepping away to reconnect with God so we can return refreshed and refocused." - "This week, take a moment of solitude and seek God's presence. Start with Mark 1:35 as your inspiration." **(23:00 – 0:00)* * PART 1 Intro: Living as a "new self" is not just an inward change but should be visible to others. Gratitude should be an outpouring of this new life in Christ. 1. Overflowing with PEACE: Gratitude Rooted in Unity (v.15) Paul calls us to let Christ's peace rule, promoting unity and gratitude within the body of Christ. Application: Gratitude fosters unity, while bitterness and self-centeredness tear it down. What actions come out of a Thankful heart and influence our unity? - promotes humility, readily forgives, lifts up others, etc 2. Overflowing with WISDOM: Gratitude increased as We Grow in the Word (v.16) When the word of Christ dwells richly in us, it transforms our minds, shaping us into grateful, wise people. Application: A heart filled with Scripture is naturally inclined toward thankfulness. The better we know God and understand what He has done for us, the more thankful we will be. 3. Overflowing with PURPOSE: Gratitude expressed in All We Do (v.17) Living in the name of Jesus, on His mission, means every act—big or small—is done with thankfulness to God. - Application: We can honor Christ in all things when we remember that everything we do is an offering of thanks. A person who sees their work, family roles, and daily interactions as opportunities to thank and glorify God. How does a Thankful Heart encourage us on the mission of Jesus? -reminded of what Jesus did for use -want others to share in the blessing **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2** Why Thankfulness Matters - It reflects a heart aligned with God's will and purpose. - Gratitude transforms our perspective, shifting focus from circumstances to God's goodness. The Command to Be Thankful 1. Biblical Foundations - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 - 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - Psalm 107:1: “Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” - Emphasize thankfulness as a command, not an option. 2. Thankfulness as Obedience - It's part of submitting to God's lordship. - Disobedience in thankfulness can lead to bitterness or discontent. Thankfulness in Difficult Circumstances 1. Biblical Examples - Job 1:21: “The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.” - Habakkuk 3:17-18: “Though the fig tree should not blossom... yet I will rejoice in the LORD.” - Philippians 4:6-7: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” 2. God's Sovereignty and Goodness - Trusting God's plan even when it's not clear. - Thankfulness as an act of faith and trust. The Fruit of Thankfulness 1. Influences Your Relationship with God - Deepens your relationship with God. (Psalm 50:23: “The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me.”) - Promotes joy and contentment (Philippians 4:11-13). 2. Your Thankfulness Influences Others - Thankfulness is contagious and glorifies God before unbelievers (Matthew 5:16). - It fosters unity and encouragement within the church body (Ephesians 5:19-20). 3. Practical Challenge - Write a letter of thanks to someone who has blessed you. Closing Thoughts 1. Key Points - Thankfulness is God's will for you. - It's not dependent on circumstances but rooted in who God is. - It transforms your heart and your witness. 2. Challenge - Memorize 1 Thessalonians 5:18 this week. - Start a blessing journal, remember what God has done. **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine of the Month - Doctrine of Man Humanity's Purpose - *“Have you ever wondered why you were created? What is the purpose of life from God's perspective?”* - *“Today, we're exploring humanity's purpose according to the Bible. From the beginning, God designed us with intention and meaning.”* - *“Let's look at Scripture to understand why God created us and what our lives should be about.”* #### **2. Humanity Was Created to Glorify God (1 minute)** - **Primary purpose: To glorify God** - *Isaiah 43:7*: *“Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”* - Emphasize: *“We are made to reflect God's glory in our words, actions, and attitudes.”* - **What does glorifying God mean?** - To glorify God is to honor Him and display His character. - *1 Corinthians 10:31*: *“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”* - *“Every aspect of life—work, relationships, and even recreation—can glorify God when done with the right heart.”* --- #### **3. Humanity Was Created for Fellowship with God (1 minute)** - **God's desire for relationship**: - *Genesis 3:8*: *“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.”* - *“This verse shows that from the beginning, God desired close fellowship with humanity.”* - **Sin broke fellowship, but Christ restores it**: - *John 17:3*: *“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”* - Explain: *“God's purpose is for us to know Him intimately, not just as Creator, but as Savior and Father.”* --- #### **4. Humanity Was Created to Serve and Steward Creation (1 minute)** - **Stewardship of the earth**: - *Genesis 1:28*: *“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.'”* - *“This means we are caretakers of God's creation, managing it responsibly for His glory.”* - **Good works as part of our purpose**: - *Ephesians 2:10*: *“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”* - Connect: *“Serving others and fulfilling the tasks God gives us is part of our God-given purpose.”* --- #### **5. Humanity Was Created to Enjoy God Forever (30 seconds)** - **Eternal joy in God's presence**: - *Psalm 16:11*: *“You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”* - Explain: *“Our purpose includes delighting in God, both now and for eternity.”* - Summarize: *“God didn't create us out of necessity but out of love, to share His joy and glory with us forever.”* - Recap the key points: - *“We were created to glorify God, enjoy fellowship with Him, steward His creation, and ultimately experience the joy of His presence forever.”* - Call to action: - *“Take time this week to reflect on these truths. How can you glorify God in your daily life? How can you grow in fellowship with Him?”* - Encourage with Scripture: - *“As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, ‘And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.'”* **(1:00)** - “Thank you for listening today!

Lisa Messenger has lived a full range of entrepreneurial emotions – the ups and downs over the course of being in business for over 21 years. In this episode, Lisa covered quite a bit, including the idea of finding your purpose, knowing why you're going into business, how to fail fast, and how to assemble and work with a team even if you can't pay them at first, and finally, the numbers that matter. This is actually all in her book, “Start Up to Scale Up,” which makes a great graduation gift or if you simply want to give somebody something that will help spark up an idea within them. (Use the discount code Melissa20 to get 20% off of any of her products. Lisa also shares how she is currently getting to know the North American market, considering the nuances between the U.S. and Canada, especially compared to the Australian market. Finally, Lisa dishes out some actionable insights into when we should share our big business ideas, how to stay ahead of the curve if someone has already done what we wish to accomplish, and getting to know your customer avatars. Enjoy this conversation and share this with an aspiring or new entrepreneur who could really use raw and positive wisdom to keep them going. Whether it's a mom with a spark of a business idea or a recent college grad who wants to turn her purpose into a sustainable business – today's episode is suitable for both!

This week I will be offering 3 VIP Moms In Business Coaching spots for moms who wish to build a resilient business capable of bouncing back after any family interruption.

This opportunity is unlike any other because it syncs up what you deeply desire out of motherhood with the needs of a business at every stage; it's what I've picked-up and refined over the course of an 11-year plus entrepreneurial career that has grown with my family of three young boys.

Sign-up today ( https://go.oncehub.com/ClientSessionMelissaLlarena ) for a complimentary 15-minute connection Zoom call to see if it's the right fit based on your income goals in the next 9-weeks. About Lisa Messenger Lisa Messenger is the vibrant, game-changing founder, CEO, and editor-in-chief of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013, with no experience in an industry that people said was either dead or dying. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, events, and education – all of which serve to ignite human potential. Five years and 52 issues into the print magazine Lisa made the courageous move to “break” the very thing that she started – the print magazine – enabling her to take some time and space to evolve into the next iteration and again disrupt this space. Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to get out of their comfort zones, find their purpose, change the way they think, and prove there's more than one way to do anything. She encourages creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit, and lives life to the absolute max. Most mornings, she wakes up and pinches herself at how incredible her life is, but is also acutely aware and honest about life's bumps and tumbles along the way. Highlights Humility: If you're new to the entrepreneurial space, stay humble but put little teeth into it. Don't be shy about growing your business and asking for guidance. Discovery: Spend time getting to know your customer avatars. Drill down into who they are, what they eat or shop, etc. Understand who your market is and who is not. Feedback: Get feedback or suggestions from the right people. Not only are you opening up to criticism, but that person might take your idea. Urgency: It's important to have a sense of urgency so you can bring your idea to the market faster and make it unique to who you are and let it show up authentically. Humor: A lot of people take themselves too seriously and business has got to be fun. It's got to be purpose-driven and you've got to be able to play. You have to go through life where you find the joy and the upside in things. Purpose: Have a sense of what your purpose is and what your why is. Root very deeply into that so when things get tough, you can go back to why you're doing this and be reminded of this. Otherwise, it's really easy to just go, Fail Fast: When you fail fast, then you can test things very quickly, especially in a market where everything is changing so fast. And if it doesn't work, you can just move on. People: Surround yourself with a great team. If you don't have the money, consider bartering or doing a collaboration. Finance: Think about the financials – a lot! You need to understand things like cash flow, profit and loss, how to read a balance sheet, and just the fundamentals. Otherwise, you can have cash flow issues very quickly. Ideas: No idea is a new idea. It's how you synthesize it, what you bring to it, and what your unique take on something is. Don't be too protective because your ideas already happened in some way, shape, or form. Competition: There will be copycats. Focus on the next thing you can do so you can stay ahead of the curve. Creativity: Learn from other sectors and other people in other cultures and countries as to how they do things. Leverage: Build relationships with the right people who can open the right doors and have already built the networks and can help to fast-track everything. Ask: If you're very specific about what you need, it is much much easier for people to help you.

[caption id="attachment_1620" align="alignleft" width="170"] Spiritual Maturity photo credit: Pragmagraphr 366 • 103 • Now and then via photopin (license)[/caption] What am I to do? What is my Purpose? Have you ever been on the wrong path, knowing what you are doing or into is not really your truth? There are expectations of every human being which are not our own. Families and communities try their best to give us a way to fit into the cog of society. Often these steered directions don't resonate with who we are. Funny, but true, may humans live a life feeling as if they are missing their true direction. I can clearly remember in my youth, people I would meet who's parents had a predetermined path for their children. Only to find them washing out of whatever endeavor their parents had set for their future. Debbie N. Goldberg's Journey [caption id="attachment_1617" align="alignleft" width="300"] Debbie N. Goldberg - Finding Purpose[/caption] Debbie Goldberg had the very similar scenario. She was working herself to death in a career she felt was missing something. The big question for every human has been, including Debbie is, what is my purpose. There is a common understanding we are alive/living beings. The acts related to being alive and experiencing a certain reality is an understated spoken fact of truth. Lingering from the moments we can construct a full thought is what is the point of being here on Earth. Debbie found herself working like a slave and in the process slowly killing herself on all levels, mentally spiritually and physically. Something had to change and she needed a kick in the pants to make that change. Physical Maturity versus Spiritual maturity. Society considers and recognizes us humans as an adult based purely on reaching a number of years on the planet for the most part. Reinforced during the interview with Debbie was maturity is more than just a physical age. Our spiritual being also has a maturing process. Common in most languages is the term "Old Soul". Well, that is a real manifestation. Recently I began hearing the term of a "Young Soul". Debbie laid it out during our interview regarding the maturity of souls and her journey. She stated, living here on earth is an exercise for experience, growth, and learning. Some humans have been on this planet in various incarnations while others are relatively new to the physical occupation. Life for Debbie began to change well into her adulthood. She had a successful business and was working with too much drive for success and to prove herself to others. She had not defined the goal of success. In essence, she was working hard to be working hard. The pivotal moment came when she had a falling out with her son and his wife in 2014. THe situation cause some heartbreak. Debbie did something most people can't. She questioned herself, asking what is it I'm doing to cause this problem? Enter Jesus. During a guided meditation session Debbie met Jesus by a pool. Yes, I said that correctly. During her meditation, Jesus shows up and began hanging out. Over time, continuing the meditation the relationship developed. There is one item I must mention Debbie recognized herself as a cultural Jew. So Jesus showing up was a little confusing for her. Initially, verbal communication did not occur until she began by saying "hello" to Jesus. After verbal acknowledgment began, the information dialogue began to flow. You may say that is crazy, but it is not if you open your thought process. [caption id="attachment_1625" align="aligncenter" width="206"] Jesus Spiritual Guide Finding purpose even to non-believers-photo credit: translator, artist, Renaissance scholar thorns via photopin (license)[/caption] The Guide The conversations with her new found guide in Jesus began a new path in life and basic lessons. Earth is a playground for souls to mature toward higher levels of consciousness. Life is an Illusion. The ego is her to protect us but can hinder our progress. The Soul is in human form and also connect universally. The Soul has a contract with the source to learn in THIS lifetime. We all have a purpose. Everything we experience is a reflection of what is inside of us. We are all connected to each other and the universal consciousness. We are all Devine. Sometimes we look so hard for a complex answer if the obvious is missing. Debbie Goldberg has a clue for us to move forward and find our direction and purpose. The interview I had with Debbie was an affirmation related to how the construction of organized religion has skewed our sense of spiritual essence. She spelled out how our ego can be with all of its good intentions hinder spiritual progressing. The Ego Eckhart Tolle talks a great deal about the EGO's negative effect on living. Debbie affirmed many of Eckhart's theories. The ego is her to protect us, much like an overbearing parent. THe ego is pulling from a time when life on this planet was extremely harsh. Dangerous situations were everywhere compared to modern living. The ego evolved to keep us in safe conditions. In doing its work, the Ego can hinder your growth by limiting the learning process, by limiting experiences. The Interview. Here are a few point played out during the interview. Finding purpose is easy if you are open. Meditate to get away from the Ego. Think inward. Hear with your heart, where the soul resides. God talks to us through our heart. If you don't know your purpose then Ask. Life is an illusion you can control. We are all connected. If you want to talk to the spirit, invite a good spirit to communicate with you. Learn to breathe properly, breathing correctly opens your energy. To contact Debbie.
