Praise Thursday!

Today was Praise Thursday on the Afternoon Drive.

We continued to talk about the leadership habits of Jesus from the book Lead Like Jesus.  We discussed the habit of study and application of scripture.  It’s important to hear the word, read the word, study the word, memorize the word, and meditate on the word.

Bible stands for Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The Bible is intimate love letter to us from God that helps us in our everyday life.  We must go deep within the scriptures to listen to God.

The Word of the Day is, adduce which a verb meaning, to cite as evidence.

Where is the World is Colton Dixon: The last day is tomorrow! Make sure to tune in to The Morning Thing Friday morning from 6-9am for clues.  Also check out our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

Have a great Thursday Evening!

Praise Thursday and Colton Dixon

Today on Praise Thursday we continued to discuss the five habits to help us lead like Jesus from the book Lead Like Jesus. We focused on solitude which is being completely alone with God.

Jesus modeled solitude for us:

  • When preparing for the tests of leadership and ministry, Jesus spent forty days alone in the desert. (Mathew 4)
  • Before Jesus chose His twelve apostles from among His followers He spent the night alone in the desert hills (Luke 6)
  • When Jesus received the news of John the Baptist’s death he took a boat to a lonely place. (Mathew 14)
  • After the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus went up in the hills by Himself. (Mathew 14)

It was in these times of preparing to lead, making important decisions, handling bad news, and dealing with praise and recognition that Jesus modeled for us the value of spending time alone to seek re-calibration of our spiritual instruments for finding the “true north” of God’s will and pleasure.

Where in the World is Colton Dixon?

Game Time Tuesday – Aladdin Jr. & Emergency Preparedness

Today was Game Time Tuesday on the Afternoon Drive,  and Faith and I gave away some Aladdin Jr. tickets!

We played song poetry with the lyrics, Yeah, it’s like a new day/ Woke up to hear You say/ I came to give you life/ So spread your wings and fly. Lisa from Fredericktown called in and guessed that those lyrics belong to Jamie Grace’s song Do Life Big.

We had a buzzword stumper for the word “after”.

We also told you it was Get Ready Day, a day where we are reminded to make emergency preparedness plans. You can read more on that day here. We also told you about this website, where you can find tons of information on how to plan, and what exactly you should even plan for.
