Have you ever heard the statement, "If I only had..., then I could...!"  In this episode, we continue around the topic of what to pursue in life and get to the basics.  Moving beyond boredom, immediate gratification and grandiose ideas into real simple kingdom concepts that build the future we have been called into.  

If you are wondering about your future, goals and where to start this episode will have something to unlock what is hindering you from moving forward.

We have been inundated in our western culture about pursuing our dreams or you can be anything you want to be, etc.  The one that has made a mark in the church world has been the pursuit of purpose.

In this episode, we take discuss and explore this idea from a kingdom or God perspective.  What should we pursue?  What is the measurement of its success? More importantly how to end your life with fulfillment and the boldness to say I have successfully finished my course.  

I believe the conversation will find you stepping beyond what we have thought to have understood about this subject.

The crew take an under the hood look at the heart of mentorship and its affect on theirs and others lives.   The discussion goes into what it is and and what it is not.   What is the role of the mentor and the role of a mentee?  The conversation explores how to position yourself to find a mentor and how does God look at mentorship and if it is even needed.  This is an important conversation for both those looking to mentor and to be mentored.  We bring three generations together to explore this critical idea in this day and age.

The podcast crew introduces themselves and the reason behind the podcast.  The conversation goes into the power of mentorship and how Mission: 300 has affected their lives and those around them. 

The discussion comes around to seeing how Identity produces strength, which brings forth courage and is the force that influences the world around us.   Take an inside look to how this has transpired in their lives and how real mentorship brings that out.

This is part two of the discussion about stories.  In this episode, we take a look at the clinical research on how our beliefs are changed not by information, but by stories.  We explore how stories affect us and how if we understand a truth, we can bring it into a story. Also, discussed is how Jesus used parables or stories in order to bring framework to the truths he was conveying.

Link to the research mentioned:

Consider the time when your perspective or belief has changed.  Was it information, data or was a story involved that took it beyond your brain into something more personal?  In this episode, we explore what happens when we connect to a story and how change is affected. It is through stories that relationships are grounded and community is established.  This and more in this discussion with Jayson, Tommy, Caleb and Bryan.

How does change take place in the systems of our world?  How about on a business level? What about personally?  These are questions we take on in this process.  We attempt to take a look at all sides of this process by addressing a news article from CNBC -Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: ‘Is curing patients a sustainable business model?

As we explore we address the different view points and often are view of life is narrowed based on our role or responsibilities.  As we dive deeper, we see that many want to do the right moral action, but have become so normalized to how the world functions we become entangled ourselves.

We bring it back to how to function "Moralized, Stabilized, and Normalized" effectively in a system with a mechanism to change, freeing us to be solid in our decisions without the hidden change of conformity.
