Q&A from the April 4 sermon, "Why Do We Need the Resurrection?" with Matt Cabot and Steven Chitty
Why Do We "Need" to Fix Others?I want to start out by saying that human beings are fixers!We love to fix things!As parents, many of us have come to believe that it is our job to fix our teens. Coupled with our years of experience and all our time, love and resources invested on our kids, we think we have the duty and right to change and fix our teens. When we try to fix or change our teens, what it really means is that we think there is something wrong with them and that they are not good enough.Our teens often feel like there is something wrong with them and that they are not good enough. As parents we often feel shame, embarrassment, frustration when we think that our teen "should be . . . "How This Often Looks In The ModelBelieve it or not, this is the #1 problem that parents come to me for help with. Their teen is "pulling away," or "We're not close anymore. We just don't like each other," or "I can't watch them throw their life away!"Here's a recent model with one of my clients:Circumstance- Son's friends smoke weed.Thought- My son needs better friends or he'll ruin his life.Feeling- FearAction- Ban his friends from our house. Result- I push my son away.Circumstance- Daughter gets a D in mathThought- She should be getting A's in math.Feeling- FrustrationAction- Ground her for a week.Result- I'm trying to fix my daughter.When we try to fix them, we're actually pushing them awayOften times our teen adopt our thoughts and beliefs into their own models. Circumstance- Friends smoke weed.Thought- I need better friends or I'll ruin my life.Feeling- FearAction- Worry that my friends will ruin my life.Result- Struggle making friends.Circumstance- I got a D in mathThought- I should be getting A's in math.Feeling- shameAction- Negative self talk like, "I'm stupid."Result- Don't try in classes.Trying to fix our teens often has the opposite affect. In fact, trying to fix or change them often supports their suspicion that they are not good enough. Here's 2 Things You Can Do Instead#1 Connect With Your Teen Right Where They Are!I know it's hard. We want our teens to have the best possible life. And, sometimes it's hard to see how things will work out in the end when their current circumstances seem so bleak. BUT, I promise things WILL work out for the best! ALWAYS!!Every circumstance that you experience with your teen is an opportunity for connection. Your teen has friends that smoke weed . . . . . . Find a way to connect with them right there!Your teen is struggling in school . . . . . . Find a way to connect with them right there!Rather than trying to fix them, connect with them. Sure, you can invite them to change, but I promise connecting with them will have a more powerful impact in their life!#2 Shift Your Focus to YOU!I say this all the time, but be the change you want to see!You can't change your teen, but you CAN, 100%, change you. Rather than focusing on what you want THEM to do differently, focus on what you want YOU to do differently. This will empower you. This will help you reconnect with your teen.

Sabbath School for Second Quarter 2020 Lesson 6 Why Do We Need to Interpret the Bible?;
Knowing the Bible for Yourself (Pt. 1) As one opens the Bible, one quickly comes to discover that what they hold in their hand is not a single book, but a volume of ancient literature (some 66 books). In fact, there are some 780, 000+ words all found sitting within a careful and purposeful grammatical structure with the oldest sections being more than 3 ½ thousand years in age and the most recent, 2000 years! There are many different ways in which God could have communicated his will to mankind; he could have appeared at a given location every fifty years to speak to man in person or sent an angel to speak on his behalf. Instead, God in His sovereign wisdom has chosen to communicate His message to mankind through the medium of written language. In this first teaching part, we ask the question; “Why do we need to interpret the Bible?” As soon as one begins to read any literature, the need for interpretation comes immediately into play!! This not only applies to the Bible, but all pieces of literature, because the underlying question that inevitably will arise is; “What does that mean?” You cannot escape this question, and as soon as one asks this question, one by default has moved into the realm of interpretation. The aim of all true Bible study is to uncover the plain meaning of the text so as to arrive at the proper understanding of truth. Having understood what God’s Word was to those first receiving it, we are then in a position to correctly apply the Word of God to our lives.

Why Do We Need to Know Our Customers? Answer: So we can effectively and efficiently meet their needs through the products and services we produce. However, business owners are often not intentional about attracting their ideal customers. We simply put out a product or service, and sell to whoever shows up. And we become frustrated, because it seems the process is completely out of our control. But that is an unfocused and generally unsuccessful way to do business. The most successful businesses clearly identify their customers and meet their needs. Absent that, we keep producing podcast episodes, courses, and coaching programs that do not resonate, nor generate sales. It also means we’re not helping as many of our potential customers overcome their top challenges as we could, which is the basis for our business in the first place. In today's podcast episode, I describe the methods I use to get to know my customers. To identify my customers’ needs, I ask them to articulate them. Please note that I’m using the terms needs and wants interchangeably. I know that that is not always true. But when buying something, customers usually only buy what they think they need. Basically, there are only so many ways to elicit information from readers, listeners, clients and customers. In this week's podcast episode, I describe in detail the five ways that I get to know my customers' needs. And I explain a second, not so obvious, reason that doing so is critically important. I also introduce the free tool that I use to create awesome headlines, titles, and email subject lines.
