Today, we wrapped up the series where we discussed habits to lead like Jesus, and we talked about the habit of involving yourself in supportive relationships.

Praise Thursday!!

Today on the Afternoon Drive we continued to talk about Leading Like Jesus.

We have focused on 5 habits of leading like Jesus from the the book Lead Like Jesus from Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges.  Today we dove into the habit of Trusting in God’s Unconditional Love.

When you cast off your doubts and reservations about God’s love and accept that you can’t earn it, don’t deserve it, and can’t add to it or lose it, you can proceed in that reality to live and lead the confidence, humility, and true freedom. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

The word of the day is quidnunc a noun, which means, a person who is eager to know the latest news or gossip.

We had a winner for Song Poetry!

Ethan from Utica won two tickets to the Broken Hearts Tour featuring Mandisa, Newsong, and Danny Gokey! The convert is Thursday October 8th in Zanesville!

Have a great night!

Game Time Tuesday – 9/29

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive and I had 2 rounds of Song Poetry!

Julie from Fredericktown picked up two tickets to see Chonda Pierce on her Focus on the Funny Tour, by correctly guessing that the lyrics, And it’s a fight for my attention/I’m being pulled every direction/This world tells me trust what I can see/Lord, won’t You help me/Believe what I believe, belong to Love & The Outcome’s song, King of My Heart.

The second round of song poetry featured these lyrics:

We’re never given the spirit of fear
Only the power of love
We’ll keep on running and not grow weak
His strength is more than enough

We had a stumper with that round, so those lyrics will come back for next week’s Game Time Tuesday.

The Word of the Day was quotidian, an adjective meaning everyday or ordinary. You can read more on that here.

Don’t forget to head over here to find all the information for October First Friday and Dogtoberfest!

Have a terrific Tuesday evening!
