The night before he died, Jesus chose to spend the evening with his closest friends. He broke bread with them, and gave them a special insight into what that unleavened bread meant to them and to the entire world of mankind. Like the bread that materialized in the night-time, Jesus provides nourishment. Like the matsos eaten by the apostles at the annual Passover celebration, the bread was broken. This symbolized that Jesus' body was shed on their behalf.In this podcast Todd Alexander shares his understanding of the last supper and its bittersweet qualities. What Jesus was thinking, and the important lessons of humility and service he wished to teach his disciples that night.This episode emphasizes the element of "communion" or common participation -- the special fellowship of the spirit which all true followers of Jesus share.

Whether we think about it or not, we all leave a legacy behind us as a result of our life and experience. Sometimes that legacy can be rich with wisdom, accomplishment and example, and other times our legacy can be a sad tale of unfulfilled potential, broken dreams and a trail of “if only” and “why didn’t I?” The thing is, we choose much of what our legacy will look like! What if you thought about your legacy in the context of leaving something behind of great value to your grandkids? Aside from material things to give them physical comfort in life, what would you want them to learn? What would you want them to know so that their lives could blossom with fulfilled potential and with true contentment? Even if you don’t have grandchildren, let’s suppose that you do and are writing them a letter with words of wisdom…what will you say? For example, Elijah in the Old Testament left us an amazing example. Most likely, one of the primary things we would focus on would be to attempt to transfer the wisdom we have attained through years of experience to the exuberance of youth they are now uncovering. It would be so cool to be able to package such wisdom up into a box of gummy bears so our grandkids would gladly ingest it as another treat from grandma or grandpa, but you and I both know that’s just not going to happen. For us the delivery of wisdom to young minds and hearts will take a much more clear and concerted effort on our part. We would need to not only have a clear picture of what we want to impart, we would need to think through how to impart it (gummy bears notwithstanding) and how to deliver such important gems in a way that will be attractive and understandable. We might even want to add a bit mystery. After all, we are dealing with kids, and curiosity is a great tool! Let me suggest that we begin with an age old truth, an age old equation that has over the last few generations begun to lose its footing. This simple addition exercise is: The honoring of God + the honoring of your parents = a beautiful character. The wisdom here is fundamental in its placement and staggering in its results. If we teach our grandkids that God is the center of their world and they are not, it provokes a dramatic pause. If we teach our grandkids that honoring their parents is their best path to get to God, it provokes an understandable process. If we teach our grandkids that these two things added together will promote a healthy and contented life, it can once - it takes hold - provoke motivation. Check out our January 2nd 2018 podcast, “What Would You Want Your Grandchildren to Know?” and join us as we, with the help of our special guest Todd Alexander, walk through this whole process of imparting wisdom to future generations. This podcast is sure to waken some of the biggest and best ideas you already own regarding creating a legacy of wisdom and power for those you care about!
We all would like to think that we are special in some way before God. We want to be sure of His love for us and His guiding hand in our lives. For most of us, being special translates into a feeling – an emotional response that produces a sense of security. But is that all there is to being special? For the Christian at least there is much more to it. We know that everyone is not called to follow Jesus and we also know that according to the Bible, God does specifically call some to follow. How does this work? How does God get your attention and touch your heart and mind? What makes us want to respond to God and what might make us shy away from responding to Him? Is it easy to recognize when God is seeking us out and trying to touch our heart? I would love to be able to enthusiastically say, yes, it is easy to recognize! When God wants your attention the message will come with power, persistence and persuasiveness! While this can be the case, most often it is not, for God’s ways of drawing us to Him in this age are filled with subtlety and searching. In this podcast our guest Todd Alexander laid out for us a pretty distinct process of how God finds us and draws us to Him. It turns out this process has five steps. You'd think the first step in God drawing us to Him would have everything to do with some kind of emotional awakening. You'd think it would be one of those epiphany moments in our lives when the stars align, our emotions are high and our hearts are primed and open. You’d think. Actually, the first step in God drawing us to Him is simply being able to perceive truth. This means coming to a knowledge of God, His sovereignty, His handiwork and His attributes. Simple. You might think – but where are the bells and whistles? Where is the dramatic unveiling? The fact is, God does not use emotion to initially draw us to Him, because he knows emotions come go and change at the whim of our perceptions. God draws us based upon things that are unchangeable. He draws us based upon the rock solid truth of His very existence! Look at the miracle of human life, the weather cycles that sustain all living things, the incomprehensible vastness of the universe or the delicate balance of flowers, bees and pollination. God begins to draw us based on the very essence of life as He created it! To perceive truth is just an introduction as it only whets one's appetite for understanding. Perception and understanding of truth are the first two steps in this five-step process. The bottom line here is that God knows how to draw us to Him in such a way as to afford us an opportunity to genuinely respond. Listen to this podcast to hear just how this works. You never know, God may be seeking you out!
