How do you respond when crisis hits?

I’m guessing that for many of us the answer might be, “That depends.” How we respond depends on whether we have experienced a crisis like this before, whether we have the skills and knowledge to respond effectively, and what kind of emotional and spiritual energy we have when the crisis hits. One critical component of responding well in a crisis is the training we’ve had beforehand. When we are well trained, we are well prepared for whatever comes our way. We see this in our vocations and in our physical lives. But, what about in life in general?

How are you training to be ready for life?

If you’ve ever found yourself caught off guard and overwhelmed by a crisis in life, if you have ever wanted to feel more prepared for when life throws mud in your face, be sure to connect with Centennial Covenant this Sunday as we continue our study through the book of Acts. We will be studying Acts 18 and learning how Paul’s training had prepared him even for the major crises that came his way.

In this episode we are continuing our series in Acts chapter 17:16-31. Here Paul gives a model for us on how to contextualize the Gospel and the way in which we should engage in conversation with non-believers.

Two questions I want to ask and explore are: How do we engage in non-combative conversations about crucial topics? Furthermore, how do we share the Gospel and engage in the secular world that we live in?

What do you do when you encounter division?

Whether we’re simply observing it around us or facing it personally, division is unpleasant. More than just discomfort, it is also a challenge to know how to respond when division rears its ugly head. We all have default reactions to which we turn, and most of us would admit that our default responses are often unhelpful.

If you want a healthier way to respond to divisions in your own relationships, make sure to join us this Sunday as we continue studying the book of Acts together.

Where are you going?

I raised this question in the last episode, and this week we will dive even deeper. If you don’t know exactly where you are trying to go, you are going to have a terribly hard time getting anywhere! While the decisions we make ultimately determine our destination, the opposite is also true. Wise people make sure that their intended destination determines the decisions they make. So, let me ask you again,

As you look at the year ahead, do you have a clear sense of where you are trying to go in life?

In this episode we will ask that question as a church. We’ll spend some time looking back on – and even celebrating – the year 2020. Then, we’ll focus on answering this critical question for our entire church: Where are we going?

We’ll end with a big request that I am going to make of everyone who calls CCC their church home.

Are you making any major decisions in the new year?

At the beginning of every year, we’re inundated with information about setting goals and making resolutions. Books have been written and podcasts dedicated to this annual ritual. This is all incredibly important stuff. It turns out, however, that the best wisdom for making great decisions - whether at the beginning of a year or anytime - discovered by modern content creators. Rather, it has been in front of us for thousands of years. This Sunday, I want to give you…

Four Tips for Making Great Decisions.

If you’re facing any critical decisions, I believe this podcast will help you make them with more clarity and confidence.

What is your 20-21 Vision?

I can remember so clearly all the “20-20 vision” jokes last New Year’s Eve entering the New Year. If only we would have known all that the year would have had in store for us. As we enter this New Year, what does “2021 vision” look like?

This Sunday we will be exploring Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 to understand how we can think about and live through affliction as we enter 2021.
