Encouragement Starts Here

In today's episode, we discuss the topic of "what's YOUR Gravity?". What is holding you back from achieving your dreams? What keeps pulling you back towards your past failures? Identifying YOUR gravity is the very first step in getting into full momentum, or orbit, and achieving YOUR dream. Because, only after you identify YOUR gravity will you be able to figure out what it will take to break free and achieve everything you have been designed to do and created to be.

In this episode, I talk about two great pastors, my Pastor of MyAnchorChurch.com Jeff Jenkins and the Pastor of RefuseLongBeach.com Kris Langham who's ThroughTheWord.Org Bible Study lessons I listen to all the time. Today I tackle fear head-on and ENCOURAGE all of us to reject it and turn to our FAITH. To quote my Pastor Jeff Jenkins, "it is times like these that believers were born for...to walk by FAITH and not by sight".

So many of us find ourselves blessed, healthy, and doing well right now during these trying times. However, there are neighbors that are truly struggling to survive and just feed their families. Now more than ever, it is so important for us ALL to find a way to PAY IT FORWARD and become part of the solution. 

Just like Acorns have everything they ever need in them to become a mighty oak, we all have things inside us that were put there to help us become who we were meant to be. Today's episode encourages you to take a little time and figure out what is in your acorn!

Today's episode talks about how our current circumstances can be related to the world over 2000 years ago when Christ had been crucified and his Disciples thought that all was lost. As we struggle through the dark times of this Corona Virus, it is important to know, on several different levels, that SUNDAY, IS, COMING!!!

For all of you that have kids that want to do something to encourage others during this crisis, give a listen to this episode and find something so simple that even a 9-year-old, or 5-year-old, kid can do it!

As Pastor Kris Langham of Refuge Long Beach said it best, "Hope is like a shot of adrenaline to your soul"! Today, on Palm Sunday, we focus on that message of hope and a promise of getting us through.

Today instead of focusing on all of the negative death tolls, infected, and jobless reports coming in, I encourage you to take some time and truly think about who you were created to be. The negative stuff will take care of itself today...find a little time to do something positive for yourself.

As we get towards the end, Day 14,  of the 15 Days to flatten the curve of the Corona Virus, we have talked to several close friends that seem down right now. My hope is that this word today can help some of those folks find purpose and meaning during these very trying times.  As our Pastor said this morning, NOBODY ELSE CAN CHANGE YOUR WORLD LIKE YOU CAN!!!

One of the easiest things to do in times like this is to forget our physical fitness. One of the MOST important things we can do to stay healthy for us and our families is to keep the blood moving, stay active, and sustain some level of physical activity between binge-watching our favorite shows.
