Our encouragement today comes from a very simple concept.

It's simple but oh man, does it have powerful consequences.

The concept is simply "changing your perspective." I give you

a number of examples and then challenge you to discover your own!

Our encouragement today comes from an observation

I made about God's proactive, positive nature. This podcast

just might lift your spirits and help you to be proactively positive

and loving. If it does, you'll be encouraged and changed!

Our encouragement today comes from an observation

that my friend Dennis made about our uniqueness. It made me stop

and think, so I hope it makes you stop and think, too. In an

encouraging and hopeful way.

Our encouragement today comes from another observation

about flash mobs. I originally posted encouragement by a flash mob

in August of 2021 and I encourage you to listen to that one, too, but

I have a second observation about the one who started flash mobs over

2000 years ago. Listen, follow, and be encouraged.

Our encouragement today comes from a simple little event

in my iPhone calendar. You'll be surprised at what this little

event got me to do and the deeper thinking I did on accountability.

I don't mention it in the podcast, but you can be more productive in

life by setting up more systems of accountability in your own life.

Our encouragement today comes from another encouragement from God

to get up and do one thing! Just get busy and do one thing. You'll be

pleasantly surprised at the power of doing one thing. Listen to the

many supporting examples of doing one thing. Then, get busy with your own.

Our encouragement today comes from a dream or God whispering to

me. God's Spirit turned my attitude upside down in a very good way!

If you have a tendency to beat yourself up for your mistakes, listen to this

podcast. It just may give you the boost you need to be encouraged.

Our encouragement today comes from an email I received from

from the motivational speaker, Akash Karia. Instead of using resolutions

for the new year, he uses a word or phrase to guide his actions. Listen to

to what I chose. It will be challenging for me, but I know it will be rewarding.

Our encouragement today comes from a shocking statement

made by Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham. Mrs. Crawley

said, I'll be fine until I'm not. Listen to my reflections on this and

be encouraged!

Our encouragement today comes from a short meditation

I gave at the Christmas Eve service at West Grove Presbyterian Church

on Christmas Eve in 2016. It still touches my heart in very powerful

ways. My hope is that it touches your heart and changes your life!
