  • The People: On Complaining

    The Nation Doth Complaineth Too Much!

    As the people of Israel leave Egypt and cross the sea, they become habitual complainers, or at least so it seems. 


    Why is that?

    And why do we complain so much? Is it ever constructive or valuable or even helpful?

    Can we change our habits? I hope so!

  • Moses: On Expectations & Excuses
    • Why do we set the bar so low on our expectations of ourselves?
    • Why do we constantly make excuses for ourselves? Is that ever ok to do?
    • What does Moses have to teach us about these two issues and why does he mention again the idea that he cannot speak?

      • This week we go deep on expectations, excuses, impostors, and self-handicapping as we continue to Coach Through The Bible!


      Happy Learning!

    • Moses: On Beginnings

      Why are 'All Beginnings Difficult'?


      We know that statement to be true from our own experiences, but why is it so and is there anything we can do to reduce the difficulty and succeed sooner?

      Let's learn from Moses this week and his first meeting with Pharoah! Exciting stuff!

    • Genesis: Upon Reflection

      Summarizing all that we learned during our 12 weeks inside the Book of Genesis. 

      Reflecting gives us a moment to appreciate, give gratitude, grow, and learn again both from what did and did not do well the first time through the book.

      We covered key personalities and went 'deep' on the following topics:


      1. Accountability
      2. Growth vs Comfort
      3. Passion
      4. Leading Up
      5. Loyalty
      6. Grit
      7. Gratitude
      8. Self Confidence
      9. Team Building
      10. Listening
      11. Perspective
      12. Failure

        13. Great list and more to come!

      13. 12 Tribes: On Blessed Failure

        When Jacob comes to bless his children at the end of his life, he is quite tough on sons 1 through 3. In fact, it might be hard to even view what he tells them as blessings!

        In truth, we learn deep lessons about honesty, integrity and perhaps most importantly, growing from failure from what it is Jacob says to Levi and then how the descendants of Levi play that out over time.

        Learning to succeed from our failures!

      14. Joseph: On Perspective

        How do we learn to develop or even change our thinking on anything? How do we grow to evolve our perspective on life's events good or bad?

        Joseph gives us a window into perspective when he forgives (twice) his brothers and tallies it all up to God.

        Let's learn!

      15. Joseph: On Listening

        Let's learn about listening from Joseph in his first interaction with Pharoah. See how he displays incredible 'active listening' skills that get him to the place where he can provide the ultimate piece of interpretation and advice!

      16. 12 Tribes: On Team Building

        We don't typically think of the 12 Tribes in terms of being a 'team', yet so much of the literature and research on team-building and its opposite (dysfunction) can be extracted from their story, and in particular the beginnings of the story of selling Joseph down to Egypt.

      17. Jacob: On Self Confidence

        What is happening to Jacob when he is alone in the night? Who is the person he wrestles with? How is he different than he was before the fight happens? 

        This week, we explore the ideas surrounding confidence and the role it plays in Jacob's life and in ours. Enjoy!
