Many corporations do team-building exercises. It is the process of building a cohesive group that works productively together. The intended outcome is to create a strong team by forming connections and bonds. Many benefits can be derived from this. They include employee collaboration, planning expertise, motivation, trust, and increased communication. One of the most popular trust activities is the trust fall. It involves having team members fall backward into the arms of other team members. The purpose is to build trust between team members, which is an essential part of effective teams. It's incredible that a person would fall backward with their arms crossed, completely trusting in people that they have limited knowledge of. They do this because of the other exercises that have led up to that point. They have learned how to build trust with each other. As Christians, we do this every day. We don't know what tomorrow may bring, or what the next minutes will bring. Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart.

Harriet Tubman was nicknamed “Moses.” Just as Moses helped to deliver the people of Israel from Egyptian captivity, she led many expeditions where she freed slaves. Her first courageous act was escaping herself to freedom. There were many obstacles against her during that time. There was always the chance of her being captured and possibly killed. Although faced with those dire consequences, she returned several times and helped others escape. She is quoted as saying, “I said to the Lord, I'm going to hold steady on to you, and I know you will see me through.” We must do the same just as Harriet used her faith to help her through scary and uncertain situations.

Back in the early 90's, Publisher Clearinghouse was very popular. It offered the opportunity to become a millionaire. The TV ads were so entertaining and very persuasive to many. Some of us dreamed of the day when Ed McMahon would knock on our door with that big check! It was quite enticing. The catch is that you had to purchase magazine subscriptions. Some ate the bait and purchased countless magazine subscriptions to win big, while others did the minimal requirements. Sadly, the latest statistic I saw online said that it was a 1 in a 7 billion chance of winning. As Christians, our odds are 1 in 1. Philippians 4:19 clearly states that God will supply our needs. It didn't say that there was a chance that God would take care of our needs. The Bible states that God will. All we need to do is be faithful. Romans 2:6 lets us know that God honors faithfulness. Joshua reminds us of God's faithfulness when we are grounded in doing His work.

There is a song that the late Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson sang. It was titled “Be Right”. A part of the song says, “When you see me walking along, I just want to be right!” When others look at your demeanor, what is their perception of you? We all know that a person's perception may not be reality. But what if many are saying the same thing? Lamentations 3:40 tells us to test and examine our ways. Ultimately, Christians ought to be a reflection of Christ's nature. He is righteous, so we must be, too. He knows your heart. You may be able to fool me or others, but God can never be fooled. He created you, and he knows everything about you (Ps. 139:1-4). Noah found favor with the Lord. What a testament of his life to be declared righteous before God. Just as God responded to Noah with grace, which is unmerited favor, let us also desire that. Let us to emulate the righteousness of Christ by faith.

Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

Are you a risk taker? Jesus asks us to take risks for him. He challenges us to lose our lives for the sake of the Gospel. He warned us our lives might incur hard times and persecutions, just as his did. But you can be sure of this: It is better to lose your life than it is to waste it. Let me quote from John Piper's booklet, Risk Is Right: “Therefore, it is right to risk for the cause of Christ. It is right to engage the enemy and say, ‘May the Lord do what seems good to him.' It is right to serve the people of God, and say, ‘If I perish, I perish!' It is right to stand before the fiery furnace of affliction and refuse to bow down to the gods of the world. At the end of every other road—secure and risk-free—we will put our face in our hands and say, ‘I've wasted it!' But at the end of the road of risk, taken in reliance on the blood-bought promises of God, there will be fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.” The kind of risk-taking we should do for Jesus is not the impulse of being a hero, or the lust for adventure. If our motives are to heap praise and glory for ourselves, we are doing it for the wrong reasons. And we don't take risks for Jesus to earn his acceptance or gain his approval. It has to be about doing it for the love of Christ—nothing more, nothing less. For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). When the love of Christ compels you, then the risk is a no-brainer. You just have to do it because Jesus loves you so much, and he has redeemed your life and given you hope and purpose. And now you have the privilege to do something risky out of love for him. Regardless of what God is leading you to do, I can promise you it will be bigger than you are, and it will be risky. It will require you to live by faith and not by sight. It will test you and frighten you, but that's where the blessing is, where the abundant life is. Don't miss it. If God is for you, who can be against you?

Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

Do you know someone who has taken a big risk for Jesus? We've looked at two women in Scripture who took great risks—Esther and Deborah. But what about a contemporary risk-taker? Let me tell you about my dear friend, Donnita Travis, who left her very successful career in marketing to begin an after-school ministry for under-served children in the poorest neighborhoods of Chicago. In 2001 she began with 16 children, coming three days each week to our church for tutoring, teaching, and nourishing. Now there are over 1,200 children involved in By the Hand Club in four different locations in our city, and it is absolutely mind-boggling to see how God is using this ministry to bring children hope and love and help them reach their potential. These children not only improve in their schoolwork, but they also hear the gospel clearly and are loved by the staff. The success stories are abundant. You can learn the whole story by going to bythehand.org. I look at Donnita and think, if only I had faith like she does, or if only I had her management and marketing skills. And of course, she is uniquely gifted. But it's much more than that. Donnita heard God's call on her life, and she simply said, like Esther, “God has put me here for such a time as this.” She took enormous risks and for over twenty-five years has boldly moved forward with ever-growing impact on our city. But let me tell you one more thing: It's been loads of hard work, long days, many serious safety and legal issues to resolve. It's not an easy road. There are days I see her and know she is simply tired to the bone. But she keeps doing what God has put her here to do, and God is blessing. I know God doesn't call all of us to such highly visible tasks, but I know he calls each of us to step out on faith, take a risk, and be willing to let him do through us what he alone can do. Are you standing on the brink of a new challenge? Does your heart tell you this is what God wants you to do? The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it (1 Thessalonians 5:24). Don't miss the great thing God has for you to do because you're not willing to take the risk.

Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

Do you know the story of Deborah, who was a judge in Israel? Deborah was a risk-taker for the Lord. This woman was way ahead of her time. She had to take an enormous risk—and that was to go herself and lead her army into battle. Barak was the leader of the army, but he said, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don't go with me, I won't go.” Maybe he thought she never would agree to go into battle and that would get him off the hook. If so, she fooled him. She said, “Very well, I will go with you. But because of the way you are going about this, the honor will not be yours…” Obviously she recognized he was not the brave leader he should be. So, she took a risk. You can read her story in Judges 4—an amazing story of how God gave her and her army victory over their much larger enemy. I wonder what it is that makes one person willing to take a risk for God and another is not. Isn't it true we are prone to trust those we know, but if we don't know someone too well, we're less willing to trust them? No doubt our trust in God has a lot to do with our willingness to take a risk for him. It's at these times—when there is some risk involved—that we find out just whether we trust God or not—or how much we trust him. God wants us to take risks as he leads us and allow him to do through us what we could never do on our own. We should attempt something so great for God that only he could do it. You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way (Psalm 18:36). Ron Hutchcraft tells the story of how he had to overcome a fear of walking across a slippery pipe to cross a stream so he could see an incredible waterfall. He was afraid to do it and was ready to back out, but his friends encouraged him to walk across the pipe so he could see this beautiful waterfall. He finally took the risk and made it across. And he reports the risk was more than worth it because the view was awesome. When we start across a pipe that looks risky, that "faith pipe" that will take us to new territory for Jesus, the pipe becomes a broad path, and our ankles don't turn! Jesus broadens the path beneath our feet. I love that image. Walk across the pipe today. Don't miss the view. Don't miss what Jesus wants to do in you and through you. Don't stay where it's comfortable. Be willing to be an entrepreneur for Jesus. That's where the abundant life is—doing what only he can do through you.

Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

Be a risk-taker! The Bible is full of stories of risk-takers. Esther took a great risk to rescue her people from annihilation. This young, inexperienced woman literally took her life in her hands and approached the king. Before doing that, she asked all the Jews to pray and fast for her. That's a good principle. We don't go headlong into some risk without being fortified in prayer, knowing God is leading us. But once Esther knew she had to take this risk, she said, “I will go to the king even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.” Esther was a meek, humble young woman. She was not equipped for such an assignment. She could have given any number of legitimate excuses why she just could not take this risk of approaching the king to save her people. But she knew it was a unique opportunity, and she knew it was the right thing to do. She did face the possibility of failure; she knew the extent of the risk she took, but she knew she had to do it. She said, “If I perish, I perish.” Many are very willing to serve Jesus as long as it's comfortable and not terribly demanding. They have their life plan in place, and they've put Jesus in the schedule. Yes, they love him, but they think things like: We're not all called to be missionaries, right? They go so far but no further. Would that describe you—maybe in part? Do you see some people who are taking risks for Jesus and doing amazing things, but you rationalize and tell yourself that it's just not your thing? God is looking for believers who are so in love with him—soul, heart and mind—that the risk doesn't scare them. Or if it scares them, they go ahead anyway! When God is opening a new door and I know he wants me to take the next step, I usually feel very overwhelmed, inadequate, and just plain scared. Scared of the risk of failure, scared I won't be able to do it, scared I'll make a fool out of myself. But I just tell God I'm scared, give my fear to him, and take the next step. John Piper says, “Doing nothing needs forgiveness as much as doing the best you can and erring.” It is right to take a risk for Jesus.

Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

Are you a risk taker? Some people would tell you not to ever take a risk, because it's risky! Play it safe would be their motto. Taking risks is not always a smart thing to do. But if you were to talk to any successful person in any field, no doubt they would tell you about some time in their life when they took a risk. They exposed themselves to failure and maybe even ridicule, but that's what it took for them to be successful. As we live our lives for Jesus, there will be times when we need to take a risk, move out of our comfort zones, attempt something that looks difficult, and even run the possibility of failing. For example, maybe God has been prompting you to share your faith with a coworker, but you've been reluctant to do so because it's risky. You think: That coworker may react negatively, or I may botch it and say all the wrong things, or maybe it's against the law to share my faith on the job! And so fear keeps you from taking the risk. Have you ever thought about how many times you've missed out on so much of what God wants you to do and the blessings that come when you obey, simply because you were not willing to take a risk? Obviously, you should always proceed with prayer and caution, but if you're afraid of any risk, you will simply never do all the good things God has put you here to do. You'll miss so much of God's blessing in your life. In his insightful booklet, Risk Is Right, John Piper says his aim is to explode the myth of safety and deliver us from the enchantment of security, because it's a mirage. It doesn't exist. None of us know what the next moment holds, not to mention tomorrow. God never takes any risks because he knows the end from the beginning. We don't know the end, and God doesn't tell us. He intends for us to live by faith not by sight, and so our lives are risky.[1] Fear of risks keeps many of us paralyzed. Bonhoeffer wrote: “To delay or fail to make decisions may be more sinful than to make wrong decisions out of faith and love.”[2] I'm exploring people in the Bible who took great risks, and I hope you'll be inspired to step out on faith and take whatever risks you need to in order to follow Christ and his plans for you. -- [1] Piper, J. (2013). Risk Is Right. Crossway. [2] Eric Metaxas. (2010). Bonhoeffer : Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy. Thomas Nelson.

He contrasts wise investment with gambling, urging believers to continually sow—whether in work, evangelism, or generosity—while recognizing both the uncertainty of outcomes and the certainty of God's sovereign plan. With death as the ultimate risk, Pastor Reece calls on listeners to invest their lives purposefully, recalling their Creator in youth and living boldly in light of judgment and eternity.

We humans are designed for risk. When we're risking with intention, we're living our lives for something bigger than ourselves. In Matthew, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as like treasure hidden in a field. It comes only when we're willing to risk everything for it. In the Beatitudes, when Jesus says, blessed are, he's actually saying happy are. He actually addresses negative emotions like mourning, sorrow, brokenness. The happiest people in the world embrace their sadness. It is about celebrating life all the time. The happiest people in the world are the ones who have a reason to suffer. The apostles left the Sanhedrin rejoicing, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name. We are designed for adventure. If you begin to make choices where you're adverse, then you're not happy.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Bernardo Huberman, Ph.D., a research physicist, expert on quantum networks, and vice president of CableLabs' Next-Gen Systems. We discuss his journey into science, beginning in South America, how a curiosity about physics led him to the United States, and how his hunger for studying novel problems guided him into fields like physics, computer science, biology, economics, and, most recently, quantum computing. He explains relativity theory, chaos theory, fractals, and quantum internet in terms anyone can understand. We explore how curiosity has continually guided his decisions about what to study and how to live, and how researching hard, even abstract, problems can serve as a model for staying grounded and enjoying everyday life. We also discuss meditation, spirituality, and why continually asking questions about how the world is organized can bring about an immense and lasting sense of meaning and joy.

Lynn Schmitt's journey began in Chicago, where she cultivated her love for art. After attending Bradley University as a Fine Arts major, she went on to graduate from the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and Roosevelt University with a BFA in Interior Design. For 30 years, Lynn thrived as a commercial interior designer, contributing to high-profile projects like O'Hare Airport's Delta Concourse (now Terminal 3), international endeavors in Kuwait and Egypt, and numerous commercial spaces across Chicago. In 2005, while working at A Touch of Amish, a quilt shop in Barrington, IL, Lynn shifted gears. Her first quilt pattern was published in Fons & Porter's magazine in 2006, and in 2010, she launched her own studio, A Different Box of Crayons. Lynn quickly became known for her fresh approach to quilting, blending unexpected fabrics and techniques to push the boundaries of traditional design. Her work has appeared in multiple quilt publications, and she's contributed to several quilt books, including projects for Needl'love. When Lynn isn't designing, she enjoys an active lifestyle, embracing everything from knitting and kayaking to cross-country skiing with her husband, Gerry Gallagher. She's also eager to dive back into her early love of painting through upcoming mixed media art classes. Today, she calls Glen Ellyn, IL home, where her creative spirit continues to inspire those around her. Episode Highlights:(2:27) Early Beginnings: Growing up in Chicago, Lynn discovered her love of sewing early on. She reflects on how taking risks from a young age laid the foundation for her future success.(4:24) Interior Design to Quilting: Lynn shares stories from her career as an interior designer, including favorite projects in the corporate world and abroad.

Plus, get the inside scoop on her 1890 farmhouse. Oh, if those walls could talk!(19:34) Creating an Atmosphere: Visiting A Different Box of Crayons is like stepping into Lynn's home—warm, inviting, and full of character.
