I've been married to my wife 25 years this Tuesday. I've learned a lot along the way. I prepared a message for our church with just 5 of those things. The audio in this podcast is from that message.

 When people aren't beautiful, influential, affluential, or successful does it matter to you? Jesus says how we treat others matters. This episode is from a message preached at Rise Church in San Antonio Texas. 

This episode comes from a sermon at Rise Church in San Antonio Texas.   

We answer the question of how to change. There are three attitudes (have to change, want to change, able to change) and three steps (know yourself, change your thoughts, change your surroundings) to change that we cover in this sermon.    

Recruiting, it's like doing the laundry; no one loves doing it and you're never done with it. 

How did Jesus recruit? Let's go to scripture and see. A special thanks to Jim Wideman for this inspiration. 

The story of Cain and Abel. I was always confused about it but recently I've seen something new. Why was Cain's gift not accepted? Does God not like fruits and veggies? How we give to God matters. I shared this during our church's Sunday leadership huddle.

Why do we struggle with correction? Why do we feel like what we do, feel and think are who we are?

Can you lead when you're not on the field? Can you lead when you're not on the platform? When you don't have a title? When you're not in charge?

We like to use words that denote absolutes:

Never... always... no one.. everyone...

Do do we mean it?

Taken from a leadership moment to our volunteer team.
