Ray Edwards Show

It's another Faith Friday, and today we're tackling the question: as a Christian, is it wrong to promote yourself? If it is, what does that say about marketing and advertising? These are questions that trouble thoughtful Christians. I believe that you can get more clarity about the difference between marketing and self-promotion by remembering 5 keys […]

Depending on who you ask, it seems over 90% of people think they "have a book inside". So why is it that less than 2% of people ever manage to get that book outside? Why is it so many never get that book published, let alone become a best-seller?

My deep-dive Conversation this week is with Chandler Bolt, who has cranked out 5 (yes, five) best-selling books. He has a system for reproducing this result. Reliably. Like clockwork. Chandler reveals exactly what he does, and how he does it. You can do it, too!

In This EPIC Conversation with Chandler Bolt…

• How Chandler went from college dropout to best-selling author in a matter of months.
• The tragedy that led to triumph.
• Why there's never been a better time to become an author.
• The very solid reasons you may want to forget about getting a "traditional" book deal, and self-publish instead.
• What kinds of books sell the most (it's probably not what you think).
• Why this method of writing and publishing will work for you even if you hate writing.
• … and a whole lot more!

You Must Have a Vision Before You Can See It

"Where there is no vision, the people perish."
Proverbs 29:18 KJV

Oswald Sanders' book, Spiritual Leadership:

"Those who have most powerfully and permanently influenced their generation have been the "seers" – men who have seen more and farther than others… Vision includes foresight as well as insight."

"Eyes that look are common. Eyes that see are rare."

"Vision includes optimism and hope. The pessimist sees a difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees an opportunity in every difficulty."

"The man who sees the difficulties, so clearly that he does not discern the possibilities will be unable to impart inspiration to his followers."

"Vision imparts venturesomeness, the willingness to take fresh steps of faith when there is a seeming void beneath."

"A vision without a task makes a visionary. A task without a vision is drudgery. A vision with a task makes a missionary."

3 Decisions That Release Vision

• Decide to seek both foresight and insight.
• Decide to be optimistic and hope-filled; to see an opportunity in every difficulty.
• Decide now to never have a vision without a task, and to never have a task without a vision.

Last week's Faith Friday episode, What's So Amazing About Grace? sure stirred up some commentary. And some questions. And some outright disagreement.

A few of the questions raised by that episode:

• Is it true that I, Ray Edwards, do not pray for my sins to be forgiven?
• Did I really say that nothing Jesus said before His resurrection applies to Christians today?
• Do I think it's okay for Christians to live a life of sin because they are "under Grace"?

"Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace, be still!' And the wind ceased and there was a great calm." (Mark 4:39, NKJV)

 "A storm is coming."

How do you respond to life's storms?

Jesus was in a boat on open water when a massive storm arose… and then the most remarkable thing happened…

Tip of the Week

What kind of day you have is up to you. A good way to get a grip on this is to Journal.

I use Day One and a template with questions.

You might use the 5 Minute Journal, or John Lee Dumas's Freedom Journal (highly recommended!)

What to do: Get a journal. Take a look at TheFreedomJournal.com

Feature Segment: 7 Sentences to Change Your Life

You can determine the quality of your days, which do the same for weeks, months, years, decades, destiny by following theses 7 simple directives. You can make your own, but make sure it's a DIRECTIVE, an action sentence that guides your actions…

1. I will create as much value for as many people as possible.
2. I will make good decisions faster, and never leave the scene of a decision without taking an action to move the decision forward.
3. I will own my attitude, actions, and response to circumstances, no matter what they may be.
4. I will choose joy.
5. I will serve, praise, honor, and treat gently the people in my life.
6. I will speak only what I want to see show up in my reality.
7. I will spend less than I earn, pay myself first, and invest so that money works for me.
