In life, it is quite easy to develop a poor attitude. Spending your life online will give you a poor attitude. Listening to nothing but news programs will strain your attitude. Developing a skeptical mindset, a critical spirit, and a cynical, sarcastic tone will sink your attitude into the abyss of a bad attitude. This will lead you to carry the weight of the world on your back and to develop the habit of blaming others for everything in life. Then all of a sudden, you adopt a victim mentality: Everyone is beating you up. God has a better way.

Today, I am going to really do a 180 on you, because I am going to talk to you today about some 7 TAKEAWAYS FROM THE 2026 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. While events began on Saturday, both Sunday and Monday were full as well. All was pointing to last Tuesday and Wednesday in Orlando, Florida. These two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, are traditionally reserved for the Southern Baptist Convention's Annual Meeting.

The summer season is completely different from the other seasons of the year. At times, it seems summer slows life down, so you can breathe, take some personal time, and renew yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. At the same time, summer can be very busy, filled with extra activities, days of travel, and perhaps even many different experiences. Parents with kids at home still have to navigate personal schedules, plus camps, perhaps Vacation Bible School, and other special opportunities children are afforded today.

One of the most important duties of a leader is to build a self-sustaining culture that builds teams and mobilizes people. Otherwise, the leader spends their time and effort going uphill endlessly, relying on their own leadership ability. I want each of you, as leaders, to build teams that mobilize people toward a common vision and mission. So, tell your friends and colleagues about this episode and its subject, and we will all grow together. My name is Ronnie Floyd, so stay tuned right now for the For Leaders Podcast 95th episode titled: LEADERS BUILD TEAMS AND MOBILIZE PEOPLE.

God has my heart locked in as I am preaching through the book of Nehemiah for 13-weeks. While I am studying that and then going through preparing for this Commencement Message God gave to me last week, I have been thinking so much about vision. So much about dreaming about the future and God’s will and intention for us. God uses all things to move along and I am convinced this subject today will encourage you to become all God wants you to become in your life. So let’s get started today! Have you ever been around someone who is truly possessed by a vision? Someone who can see it before others see it with their human eyes? Dreaming and visioneering about the future are life-giving.  What is visioneernig? Here is a definition I found...

My subject today is: “5 POWERFUL THINGS THAT HAPPEN WHEN YOUR BURDEN IGNITES YOUR VISION.” These things become evidence that something is happening in a special way. Obstacles are removed, and circumstances change. I cannot wait for you to hear me talk about this with you today.

In the past two months, we have experienced fresh wind and fresh fire in our church. We have seen God answer our prayers above and beyond what we could ever have imagined. Our TOGETHER We Pray Ministry launched on January 1 this year. I did believe the Lord would begin to work in ways we had not seen. Additionally, we observed 21 Days of Prayer in January. Hundreds of people participated. Prayer was the turning point. Right now, we have 354 PEOPLE WHO ARE A PART OF OUR TOGETHER We Pray Ministry. To be a part of this ministry, wherever you are, you commit to allocate 30 Minutes each week to pray for our church specifically, using points of prayer I personally prepare and send to you monthly. Join us today, and let's climb over 400 praying for 30 minutes each week for our church. Join now! Prayer is the greater work. The more we pray, the greater God will work in us and through us. Due to what God is doing among us, I felt deeply compelled to call us to understand the significance of this moment.

When you are facing DECISIONS in your life, what do you do? When you are facing DILEMMAS in your life, meaning problems, challenging situations, the choices are not good, and you feel as if you are in between 'a rock and a hard place' ... what do you do? When you are facing DIFFICULTIES, like troubling situations, major obstacles, and hard times, what do you do? Each of us, personally, in our families, in our careers, in our workplaces, and even in our church, at times faces decisions, challenging dilemmas, and difficulties that seem insurmountable. This is why I want to share this podcast with you today.
