Podcasts about say no to take control

Hey Friend, Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet. In this episode, I am stepping into a guest host seat on the Gen Truth Podcast to share something that has shaped every area of my life, including my business. The Holy Spirit is not only your helper for spiritual growth. He is your helper for real, everyday challenges, and that includes the work you are building. Anchored in Romans 8:26 to 27 NLT, I walk you through how the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, and I open up about the areas where He has helped me personally. From the mental health struggles I carried when I was younger, to my marriage, to building healthy habits, to the strategies that keep me focused and productive in my business, I share the real moments where I asked for help, and He answered. You will hear the story of how I first discovered the Holy Spirit as a child watching my mom, the strategy He gave me to get focused work done, and the simple practice I use to invite Him into any problem I am facing. If you have ever felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder that you are not alone. With the Holy Spirit, everything is figureoutable. I pray this blesses you. .

Is it possible to help your adult children in a way that actually keeps them from growing? It's a difficult question, but an important one. Many parents want to support their children well, especially when their children face setbacks, financial stress, or uncertain times. Yet the way we offer help can shape not only their circumstances, but also their character. The goal isn't simply to make life easier. It's to help in ways that strengthen them rather than sideline them. When Love Needs Wisdom For many parents, this is a tender place to stand. You love your children deeply. You want to see them flourish. And when they struggle, every instinct says, Step in and fix it. That instinct often comes from a good place. But even good instincts need wisdom. Consider a baby bird hatching from its shell. It may seem compassionate to help it break free, but if you intervene too soon, the bird may not survive. The struggle of pushing through the shell is essential. It develops the strength and coordination needed for life outside the egg. The struggle isn't the problem. It's part of the preparation. In the same way, when we remove every difficulty from our children's lives, we may step in at the very moment when growth is meant to happen. When Support Slowly Becomes Dependence Most parental help begins with simple acts of care: Covering an unexpected bill Helping with a car repair Letting them move back home Offering temporary financial support None of these is inherently wrong. In many cases, they are loving and appropriate responses. But over time, those moments can accumulate. And eventually the question changes from How can I help? to Is this actually helping? Are you helping them move forward—or delaying lessons they need to learn? Are you offering support—or carrying responsibilities that now belong to them? That tension is real, and one of the hardest parts of parenting adult children is knowing when to step back. Support in Ways That Move Them Forward Healthy support should encourage progress, not prolong immaturity. This is an act of stewardship—not only of your resources, but of their formation. The goal is not to eliminate every hardship. Often, maturity takes root in the soil of challenge. Consider tying support to clear next steps, such as: Progress toward employment Pursuing education or training Contributing to household responsibilities Taking increasing ownership of personal expenses Working toward specific financial goals Support like this doesn't replace responsibility. It reinforces it. An adult child living at home is not automatically a sign of failure. Throughout history, including biblical times, multigenerational living was common and remains normal in many cultures today. The better question is not Where are they living? But are they growing in responsibility? Are they contributing? Learning? Planning? Taking steps toward independence? Those are the indicators that matter most. Burdens and Loads: Knowing the Difference Scripture offers a helpful framework for discerning when to step in and when to step back.  Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another's burdens.” Yet Galatians 6:5 says, “For each will have to bear his own load.” So which is it? The answer is both. A burden is something too heavy to carry alone—a crisis, deep hardship, or overwhelming circumstance. A load is the ordinary responsibility each person is meant to carry—daily choices, obligations, and personal stewardship. This distinction is helpfully explained in Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. They note that healthy relationships require clarity about what belongs to us and what belongs to someone else. Wisdom is knowing the difference. When parents consistently carry what belongs to their adult children, they may relieve pressure in the moment—but unintentionally prevent the growth that responsibility can produce. Protect Your Marriage and Financial Foundation Before offering significant financial help, it's wise to pause and talk with your spouse. Pray together. Discuss what you can realistically give, what you cannot sustain, and what patterns you want to avoid. Unity matters. So does financial stability. Just as flight attendants remind passengers to secure their own oxygen mask first, you need to protect your own financial foundation if you hope to help others well. Helping your children should not come at the expense of wise stewardship or unnecessary strain in your marriage. Trust God With Their Story Supporting adult children isn't about getting every decision perfectly right. It's about faithfully stewarding your role in this season—with wisdom, grace, and trust. God is at work in their lives even more than you are. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is help. Sometimes it is to wait. Sometimes it is to say no. And often, the greatest gift you can offer is not rescue—but the opportunity to grow through responsibility, perseverance, and dependence on the Lord. Want to Go Deeper?

Do you often feel angry, sad, frustrated, annoyed, drained, confused, or just…some kind of way when you interact with a certain friend or friends? Maybe you need to check your boundaries. Boundaries are the physical, mental, emotional, and other limits that protect our personal space and define how we interact with others. They help us feel safe as individuals in all areas of our lives. They help us protect the people and things that are important to us, including our finances, our time with family, our self care - the list goes on and on.    How do you know you need a boundary? I'll give you a hint. Pay attention to that icky or uncomfortable feeling you have after you interact with someone. Take note of the confusion you feel when you're together, then do something about it.    Join Ashley Cook, Associate Marriage Family Therapist (AMFT133670), and me for a talk about boundaries - what they are, why we need them, and how we establish them. Why? Because healthy boundaries are a huge part of maintaining healthy friendships and protecting personal peace.   Additional Resource: Boundaries Updated and Expanded Edition: When to Stay Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life - by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend   Other Episodes Referenced in This Episode: 1.

Boundaries are invisible lines that define what behaviors are acceptable between people. They can be physical, emotional, or based on time or space. Boundaries are important because they can help prevent feelings of resentment or being taken advantage of. They can also help people feel comfortable opening themselves up to close relationships and intimacy.

Today's episode of GrievingVoices takes a deep dive into the complex emotion of anger, especially for us Human Design Manifestor-types navigating loss and trauma. I open up about my battle with anger following life's curveballs and how it can be misunderstood or mishandled.As someone who has walked through the fire of personal loss and trauma, I've learned firsthand how anger can be both destructive and transformative. It's not just an outburst; it's a signal calling us to introspection. Why does this affect me so deeply? What boundaries have been crossed?Many turn to short-term fixes or STERBs (short-term energy-relieving behaviors) like anger to cope with grief. But these are merely band-aids on deeper emotional wounds. The key lies in processing anger constructively. This isn't about suppressing emotions but rather understanding them—identifying what needs protection or restoration within ourselves before we react impulsively.Key Takeaways:-Anger should prompt introspection rather than projection onto others.-Short-term coping mechanisms like STERBs provide temporary relief but do not address underlying emotional pain.- Constructive processing of anger involves self-protection and restoration efforts.- Emotional intelligence grows through understanding our reactions and setting healthy boundaries.Establishing clear boundaries emerged as another critical theme. The absence of boundary-setting skills during childhood can lead to adult challenges such as unchecked anger. To navigate this complex terrain, the book "Boundaries" is recommended for those seeking guidance on creating and implementing boundaries.Engagement with our emotions in real-time fosters balance and wellness. Tools like visualization and mindful breathing are practical strategies for dissipating anger without confrontation. We pave the way toward transformative life changes by embracing self-awareness and actively managing our emotions.Join me in embracing self-awareness and mastering emotional management as pathways toward transforming our lives after loss.RESOURCES:Human DesignBook | Boundaries Updated and Expanded Edition: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your LifeYouMapGrief RecoveryEpisode Sponsor: Magic Mind | Use the code "GRIEVINGVOICES" to receive one month free with a 3-month subscription.

In December, we spend every Monday morning in a series where we process and pray through the year. Each week, the focus will be different, but the theme of processing and praying will remain the same. We started this series by looking at the goodness of God by reflecting on our victories. In this episode, we are pausing to process our personal boundaries this year. Pray: “Jesus, what boundaries do you want to encourage me to set in my life?” Process: What boundaries did I establish that went well this year? What unspoken boundaries did I find myself frustrated with when people broke them? Sometimes, a boundary is not a boundary unless it is spoken.  What areas of my life might need new boundaries this coming year? Boundaries can change with seasons.

If you've developed a pattern of people-pleasing, it can feel impossible to break free of it, especially in our core relationships. It often begins when someone in our childhood in authority communicates that their needs trump our needs. We become driven by the need to avoid conflict or deflect from the shame we feel about ourselves. But when we don't look for other ways of relating, we can stunt our growth and deprive other people of the chance to grow.  I'll share how God exposed the people-pleasing habits in my life and why learning practical ways to set boundaries transformed how I felt about myself and related to others. I'll unpack the roles of the “drama triangle” and how you can identify which roles you play in this dynamic as well as what you can do to get unstuck here.    In this episode you'll learn: Why it's so tricky to distinguish between a need and a desire Why it's unhealthy to believe it's our job to stop anyone from experiencing negative emotions How people pleasing can feel so rewarding at times Evidence for why tolerating abuse is not an expression of love Why we can feel stuck believing we have no choices   Grab your copy of Lifted From Shame Order your eBook or print book on Amazon here.

Welcome to Episode 142 of the Being Human Podcast: How to Start Healing an Unhealthy Relationship (A Relationship Series, Part Five) This week, Dr. Greg follows up on last week's episode about the warning signs of emotional abuse to answer the question “What can I do if my relationship is unhealthy?” In this episode, he breaks open three practical steps you can take to help you navigate through the challenges of a difficult relationship.   Highlights from the episode:  The subtlety and invisibility of emotional and psychological abuse;  How the parts of us that believe “if only the other person would change, my life would be better” can overshadow other more helpful parts;  Free will and self-determination as integral parts of our humanity that cannot be taken away;  The importance of identifying where we still have freedom to make a choice; The fruitlessness of attempting to change another person's behavior;  Understanding boundaries as necessary when making decisions in and about a relationship;  How there can be parts of us that put up roadblocks to our growth and development due to fear; The way we react, respond, and participate in relational dynamics as a result of our personality formed in childhood;  Growth in self-awareness as essential in the process of healing;  How courage and greater strength come from support and community.    Resources mentioned or relevant: Last week's episode: Seven Signs of Emotional Abuse (A Relationship Series, Part Four);  Need help?

Do you hate Christmas, and you don't know quite the reason? Or do you obsess about the Christmas season going overboard, over budget and over-stressed? Or maybe you go with the flow to avoid the Christmas conflict? Today we're continuing our Christmas movie series, and we're talking about what the Grinch Who Stole Christmas can teach us about out relationships. So, I'm talking to you today if: If you're ready to discover the true joy of Christmas…and life. If you're ready to let go of the stress and strains of the Christmas seasons…and life. If you want to enjoy life for yourself. Today is all about relationships. So we're going to be pulling out the Grinch. Surprisingly Dr. Suess based the Grinch character on himself. It was the day after Christmas, and saw his grinch face in the mirror. You know, sour, cranky and unhappy. He'd lost the spirit of Christmas and decided to get it back, which inspired The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I want to show you how four characters took a journey to discover the true meaning of Christmas and life. Christmas and life are all about relationships–our relationship with God, family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc. Rich relationships make for a rich life. 1. Grinch Grinch hated Christmas because he'd been hurt as a young child. He lost connection with others and then hid himself to keep himself safe. How about you? Have you put up a wall to keep yourself safe? To have connections, you must first work through the hurt. Then you need to show yourself friendly. Be the first to reach out. 2. Who's The Who's liked Christmas a lot…busy with competitions, shopping, eating and the trappings of commercialism. But they lost the meaning of Christmas–relationships. True relationships get vulnerable and deep. When you're the first to be open and vulnerable, you create a safe space for others to do the same. Now you can go deep into relationships and really enjoy what matters. 3. Max the dog He's Grinch's loyal companion, ready and willing to help. But Max is a doormat. Are you, like me, afraid of conflict? Do you just go with the flow to keep the peace? That's no way to live…under someone's feet. We need to set boundaries to tell people how they are allowed to treat us. I know it's hard, so if you need help with that, * check out Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend. https://amzn.to/3P4vEKK 4. Cindy Lou Who Cindy lost her love of Christmas and didn't know why. She was searching for her first love. When Cindy started searching, she discovered the potential in others, including the Grinch. She helped him see what he could be instead of what he currently was. And through all that, she literally saved Christmas and help each person develop deeper relationships with one another. So who are you, and what do you need to do to grow deeper in your relationship and discover the true meaning of Christmas and life? Rich relationships make for a rich life.

Sandra Stosz is the author of “Breaking Ice and Breaking Glass: Leading in Uncharted Waters.” Sandra is a retired U.S. Coast Guard Vice Admiral who served for over 40 years, including 12 years at sea. She often led all-male teams and was the first woman to lead a U.S. Armed Forces Service Academy. In this episode, Sandra shares with humility some of the leadership lessons she learned in the Coast Guard. She shares humorous stories, and reveals things she learned early that shaped her remarkable career, and why she baked cakes for her staff!   https://bit.ly/TLP-313   Key Takeaways [1:36] Jim introduces Vice Admiral Sandra Stosz, Retired, tells of her background, and welcomes her to The Leadership Podcast. [2:08] Sandra's nephew Hunter Stosz is a Lieutenant in the Coast Guard, serving as the Combat Systems Officer on the Coast Guard National Security Cutter JAMES out of Charleston, S.C. Hunter was a cadet at the Coast Guard Academy when Sandra was the Superintendent. That was his leadership crucible! [3:01] Sandra's hobby is baking cakes! She would bring them into the office and give people a break to stop what they were doing and gather in the conference room to talk and laugh. [4:35] Sandra talks about the Coast Guard Academy, where she was Superintendent from 2011 to '15, and the Loy Institute for Leadership. She retired from the Coast Guard in 2018 but she is a trustee of the Loy Institute for Leadership, which is the Academy's agent for leadership development. [6:16] The Coast Guard Academy, like all the service academies, is a 200-week program, meaning four full years of school. A lot of the Academy's leadership development happens during the summer. Training is given through a framework called LEAD: Learn from theory, Experience through practice, Analyze using reflection, and Deepen understanding from mentoring. [7:09] It's a virtuous cycle of leader development. It starts with cadets learning in a classroom from Posner and Kouzes's Leadership Challenge for leadership theory. Then they put the cadets on the water for experiential leadership development through seamanship in sailing programs, and small boat practice, all on the water. The more senior cadets use a practicum that tells them how to instruct. [8:19] After a day on the water, the cadets analyze through reflection. They sit down and “hotwash” what happened; what they want to repeat next time, what they want to avoid next time, and what they learned. Then the cadets deepen their understanding through mentoring. Everybody who learns continues to mentor somebody else, making it a virtuous cycle. [8:48] Sandra shares a story of leadership learning. The cadets sailing a ship tacked suddenly without warning the cook in the galley, the only female cadet on board. Hotdogs flew all over the deck and what seemed funny to the cadets on deck upset the cook who felt laughed at and disrespected. Leadership also means inclusion and respect. [11:18] You can learn to lead through practical experience. The Coast Guard Academy collects data from performance reviews to measure leadership development over the four-year program. It's hard to measure leadership development over four years but they are on a mission to do that and they are getting closer every month. [12:15] The Coast Guard Academy LEAD framework is built upon the Coast Guard framework of leading self, leading others, and leading the organization. Cadets learn to lead themselves and lead others. They do not advance to leading the organization at the Academy. Sandra tells a story of a cadet who carelessly filled the fuel tank with water. He will never do that again, having learned by experience. [15:12] Officers in the Coast Guard learn to lead the organization, which is strategic. Sandra has seen senior leaders fall short and fail when they did not mature from tactical thinking to strategic thinking. Strategy is looking over the horizon to anticipate threats that might come over that horizon, and then adjust, adapt, and be agile. [16:15] At the organizational level, you face crises where the easy decisions and actions have been made at the lower levels; if it ends up in your hands, it is a big decision. You've got to be strategic and decisive. A lot of people aren't strategic or are not decisive. They haven't learned how to move from leading others to making decisions that affect the organization and how the organization relates to others. [17:59] Jim highly recommends Sandra's book. It addresses the balance between power and control. Sandra speaks of the responsibility of the individual and the team to find ways to power through crisis and adversity. There is leadership at all levels. It's not just about the top boss. Sandra mentions Extreme Ownership. [19:50] It is popular now to blame others for everything wrong so you don't have to own up to it. Sandra was thinking about that when she wrote her book. She was grateful when someone gave her a Serenity Prayer plaque at a difficult point in her career. She was trying to control everything and having trouble letting go of things she couldn't control. She carried that prayer to every duty station. [20:50] The balance between control and power reminds Sandra of Aristotle's Golden Mean, which is the balance between extremes. The most powerful thing you can do is release your control and give your power away. Giving power away empowers others. You don't lose anything by giving power away. You gain the respect and trust of those you empower. [22:12] Control originates from humility and power originates from hubris. Sandra explains why humility is hard to maintain as you advance in rank. The more senior she became, she tried hard to build trust and earn respect and not use her position of power. [23:59] Sandra shares a story on the paradox of control about giving away power. Her Captain gave his power to her, a young lieutenant, to give an important brief to a Commandant of the Coast Guard. She had never given a speech before! For the rest of her career, she worked to give her power away to younger officers. [27:26] Jan cites an Arthur Brooks article, “Being special vs. happy: What success addiction looks like and how to recover,” that discusses motivation and happiness. What would Sandra's advice be to her 27-year-old self? She would tell her younger self that prevention comes before response and remember the importance of establishing boundaries. [31:41] The four types of exhaustion or wellness are physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Don't allow yourself to be exhausted in all four of these areas at the same time! You can manage your wellness with a structure of boundaries built on a foundation of values. If you can't manage your wellness, you can't manage your team's wellness. [36:15] One of the chapters of Sandra's book is “There's no secret ingredient.” — Kung Fu Panda. Sandra sees 10 leadership lessons in Kung Fu Panda and Kung Fu Panda 2.[37:26] Sandra shares a foundational story from serving on her first ship, an icebreaker sailing to Antarctica. She learned the Three Ps of Power: Personal, Professional, and Positional. Lean on the first two and go to the third only as a last resort. Your personal power is your EQ. Your professional power is your work ethic and values. Your positional power is your rank or leadership role. [39:44] Use your personal and professional power every day and you will build trust and earn respect. People will want to do their jobs because they feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves, they feel shared values, they know their purpose, they have pride and passion, and they want to end each day deeply content, satisfied, and feeling good about themselves, their work, and life. [41:12] Leadership is not all in a textbook. It's hard to learn it and hard to teach it. If you're trying to understand leadership and finding it not easy, your symptoms are normal. Jan shares a message with new listeners. Jan and Jim use the tagline, “We study leaders.” After interviewing 300 leaders, we're still learning. It will be our lifelong pursuit. [43:02] Sandra's advice for people in transition from one chapter of their life to the next: Watch out for becoming part of another “me” generation. The people who will be happiest, in the long run, will be are going to look at how they can contribute as part of a bigger purpose with values that they share. They're going to persevere. They're going to put in more than they take out. They're going to be contributors. [45:20] Sandra's last words are about life-long learning. She stayed for 40 years in the Coast Guard because it gave her opportunities to train, advance, and go to the Kellogg Business School, the National War College, and a Capstone program. She continues to read and develop herself. Life-long learning is key to your ability to succeed in a meaningful way. [47:06] Jan closes with a quote from Amelia Earhardt on the decision to act.   Quotable Quotes “Every once in a while, you need a reason to laugh when you're at work and you're in a really tough job. I think the cakes helped build that camaraderie and that's one thing I like about in-person workplaces.” “We expect the cadets to make a mistake when they're learning how to lead themselves. It's trial and error. And this is the time when we give them leeway to fail and pick themselves up, and make mistakes, admit them, and try not to repeat them.” “I've seen senior leaders fall short and even fail if they keep on with the behaviors that made them successful while leading self and leading others and they move into leading the organization but don't mature to strategic thinking.” “Be strategic and be decisive. A lot of times, people … haven't learned how to move from leading others to making decisions that affect an organization, ... the programs, and how that organization relates to others. … Move up into the strategic decision-making realm.” “Type “A”s out there, hear me! You want to control everything and it can drive you crazy. And if you don't let it go it will burn you out.” “The most powerful thing you can do is to release your control and release your power and give your power away.” “The best leaders cultivate their humility, which is really hard to do as you advance up in the ranks. Whether it's the military or if it's a private sector, or public non-profit, the more senior you get, people are treating you a little differently up in the ranks.” “What you should be seeking is deep contentment and satisfaction. That comes with a different way of looking at life. It comes from balancing and this becomes the response.” “People never make good choices; they always have to learn from experience, right?” “So many people are in the leadership space and trying to teach leadership and it's not easy. … If you are trying to understand leadership, how to be a better leader, and finding it not easy, your symptoms are normal.” “The people who are going to be happiest, in the long run, … look to find out how they can contribute as part of a bigger purpose with values that they share. … They're going to persevere. They're going to put in more than they take out. They're going to be contributors.” “Lifelong learning is key to your ability to succeed in a meaningful way where you're meeting all of your objectives and you're staying motivated. Otherwise, you lose the meaning of life if you don't continue to focus on life-long learning.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Vice Admiral Sandra L.

*This episode speaks about sexual abuse. Discretion is Advised* Hello everyone! Today I interviewed Latarsha Haughton an Inspirational Author, Transparent and Authentic Speaker, and Transformational Coach. She is the founder of Breaking the Silence… Healing the Pain, who has endured decades of trauma – including sexual and emotional abuse. With the help of God, prayer, and trauma-informed therapy, after 30 years, she broke her silence. Now, Latarsha transforms that pain into purpose and creates community for other survivors. Latarsha came on to speak about how she was sexually abused by her father, got pregnant by him and had her son, and STILL forgave him! This was a powerful story and an episode you do not want to miss!

In this episode we discuss Discovery Day, one of the most painful days in the life of a wife who discovers her husband has been viewing pornography or is compulsively acting out sexually. The day of discovery is typically called D-Day, because just like the Normandy Beach invasion during WWII, this day is full of death, wounding, and trauma. D-Day is not the end of the story, though! We will leave you with hope. Your hosts are: Pam Blizzard of Recovered Peace Lyschel Burket of Hope Redefined Bonny Burns of Strong Wives We will be discussing: What comes to mind for each of us personally as we think of Discovery Day?

At this time of year – New Year's resolutions have worn off - they are sort of pushed to one side while we get on with the job of living.  We have got through nearly 2 years of Covid so we may almost resent the idea of New Year's Resolutions.  How can we do less but accomplish more? But we can be fearful – it is not to eliminate the things you care about from your life.  It's simply to get laser-focused on why they matter to you. We cannot do it all – that idea – we cannot do it all is a wonderful reminder or wake-up call for us women who often feel guilt-tripped into precisely doing it all – the perfect Mum, wife, or girl-friend, perfect career woman. We have a list of expectations as long as our arms and frankly, they are unfair and unjust and can lead to great frustration.  We wanted in this podcast to talk about some questions we can ask ourselves that could help our listeners to think about what they need to do less to accomplish more. That is different for everyone.Resources: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, Greg McKeownBoundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life, Henry CloudAtomic Habits, James Clear Why You Need Essentialism?

This is Episode 75 of The Jesus Society Podcast, and today I want to talk about dealing with difficult people. And the reason I want to talk about this today is that I've been dealing with some difficult people over the last few weeks. If you don't ever have any problems dealing with difficult people, then perhaps you can just skip this episode, but if, like many of us, you struggle to know how to deal with difficult people, then you might just find a few things in this episode that'll help. Join me today as we discuss: 1. Some of the types of difficult people we encounter. 2. Some biblical guardrails to help govern our interactions with difficult people and at least keep us from getting off into the ditches. 3. The tricky business of dealing with fools. 4. How the book of Nehemiah can really help us when it comes to difficult people. ______________________________ As always, we'd appreciate it if you'd tell others about the podcast.

In today's episode we look at what it means to pursue WisdomIntentional Optimism - a refresher Optimistic - hopeful, positive, proactivePresent - having a sense of wonder, generous, kind/openCourageous - lead, adventure, resilientEnergetic - industrious, energetic and life-focusedWise - understanding, words, respectIntentional - sense of purpose, plan, growTopics discussed in this episode: How do you pursue wisdom?Understanding [2:58]SpiritualRealisticSee all the sidesWords [5:56]CarefulWorth Listening ToEncouragingRespect [9:10]Role model itBoundariesEarn itNow what?Do you want to pursue wisdom with me?What difficult lessons are you resisting or putting off?  Is it the Reality piece you need a better handle on?  Trust me, you're only delaying the inevitable. There's a saying in the personal growth world - “what we resist, persists.”  Maybe it's your Words… How well does your “thought bubble to speech bubble” filter work? Perhaps - like me - you need to start drafting emails or social media responses prior to “going live.”  The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians suggested these “true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, of moral excellence and praiseworthy” - how's THAT for a filter? It's pretty easy to demand others Respect us, but how easy is it to model out the kind of behavior that promotes respect both ways? What do your boundaries look like? Do you recognize the boundaries of others? I always recommend the book Boundaries by Cloud and Townsend, we'll put it in the show notes.Perhaps Understanding yourself is the place to start.  When you do, it's easier to begin to understand others.Resources mentioned in this episode:  (As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)Blog Post: When I grow up I want to be… [1:52]Philippians 4:8  [12:31]Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life by Cloud and Townsend (#CommissionsEarned) [13:03]Get involved!Gab your FREE “Ultimate DISC communication Cheat Sheet”Get your own DISC Assessment, and don't forget the 10% discount (code "PODCAST") at check out!Email me at andrea@theintentionaloptimist.com  so I can be your professional encourager!Join the Intentional Optimists Facebook GroupFollow on Instagram @theintentionaloptimistLinked In Andrea JohnsonSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AndreaJohnson)

What is the church? Have you ever thought about that? Really thought about it? Maybe you'd say it's the collection of saved people? And you'd be right. Maybe you'd say it's the bride of Christ (Eph. 5:25-27)? Right again. Or maybe you'd use Paul's language in 1 Tim. 3:15 and say the church is the pillar and support of the truth. Well who's gonna argue with Paul. Of course. All those things are true, but I'd like to suggest there's something even more basic. AND, I'm gonna suggest that if we don't get this right, the church is never gonna be any of those other things we read about. And if you've been listening to this podcast from about Episode 2 on, you might know where I'm going here. But to flesh this out, let's start on Day 1 of the church, which we read about Acts chapter 2. Join me today as we discuss: 1. Being adopted by God 2. Acts 2 and the first Christians. 3. The relational ways the New Testament describes coming to Christ. 4. What relationships are supposed to look like in the family of God. 5. The idea of fellowship in the New Testament - it means more than potlucks. 6. Independence vs. Interdependence. 7. The characteristics of Jesus Society Relationships 8. The virtue of being non-manipulative 9. Living love without agenda   Resources For Today's Show: I've just created a Facebook group for the Jesus Society Podcast, and I'd invite you to visit us there.
