Driving Notes

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!

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.

Today was Mystery Monday on the Afternoon Drive!

Joe hid something in the Mystery Box, and after I gave clues that the item was small, light, cylindrical, and smelled like a mix of fruit and chemicals, Kristina from Fredericktown called in and correctly guessed that the item was a scented (grape) markere.

We also had another edition of “Where In The World Is Colton Dixon?”, and Ashley from Mt. Vernon called in and guessed that he was in the public square in downtown Mount Vernon.

Our Word of the Day was apophasis, and you can read about that here.

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.
