Who’s your confidant?

confidant

We continued our series today on good habits we can start or renew in 2016.  The last one from the book, Lead Like Jesus, by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges, is the habit of involving ourselves in supportive relationships.  This is also called the habit of intimate community.

This can be your Sunday School class, a lunch group, small group, men’s group, women’s group, band of brothers, etc.  Let’s face it – sometimes we don’t view feedback positively. We look at it as a bother or irritant.  Blanchard and Hodges remind us that feedback is a gift! Don’t remove the trusted messengers in your life that can speak truth, lovingly, into your week. Oh, and return the favor!  Be a truth-teller in their life, too.

Some good verses on this topic: Hebrews 10:24-25; Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12

Today’s Word of the Day was related to our discussion – CONFIDANT (CAHN-fid-ahnt), which means a close friend or associate to whom secrets are confided; with whom private matters and problems are discussed.

Thanks for listening!

The Study and Application of Scripture

Some call this ‘dwelling’ in the word.

1 – seek opportunities to HEAR the word
2 – make room to READ the word
3 – find resources that help you STUDY the word
4 – look for passages you can MEMORIZE
5 – find time to MEDITATE on the word
Our Word of the Day was presenteeism, a noun meaning going to work when you are sick. You can read more on that here.
Have a great evening!

Praise Thursday – The Habit of Prayer

Today was Praise Thursday on the Afternoon Drive! We continued our topic of habits for the new year by talking about the habit of prayer.

We shared the ACTS Model of Prayer from the book, Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges:

ADORATION –all prayer should begin here; tell the Lord you love Him and appreciate Him for who He is (I Chronicles 29:11)

CONFESSION – this is where we confess our sins in response to the fact that we adore God (I John 1:9)

THANKSGIVING – this is the heartfelt expression of gratitude to God for all He has done in creation, in redemption and in our lives. (Ephesians 5:19-20)

SUPPLICATION – this is where we sometimes start…but we should finish here. This is simply a big word for asking what you need. (Matthew 7:7)

We need to think about this question: ‘How’s Your Prayer Life?’

 

Our Word of the Day was hebetude, a noun meaning the state of being dull. You can read more on that here.

Have a great evening!

Mystery Monday – 12/7

Today was Mystery Monday on the Afternoon Drive!

Since it is Food For The Hungry week, I had a mystery question about Food for the Hungry. I asked how much money and how many truckloads of food were collected in the first ever FFTH drive in 1982. We didn’t receive a winner for this question, but $1,600 and 7 truckloads of food were raised at the 1982 drive.

I also told you all about the various events happening that benefit Food For The Hungry, and you can find all of that information over here.

I hid something in the Mystery Box, and after the hearing, smell, and taste tests, Stephen from Mt. Vernon called in and correctly guessed the item in the box was Chick-fil-a Sauce.
