  • Max Lucado Daily Devotional - To Meet Our Greatest Need

    Listen to Today's Devotion

    Christmas cards. Punctuated promises. On this day, can I share words from my favorite Christmas cards?

    “He became like us, so we could become like Him.” “Angels still sing and the star still beckons.” And from Isaiah 9:6, “God has given a Son to us. His name will be Wonderful Counselor, Powerful God, and Prince of Peace.”

    And my favorite: “If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.”

    Merry Christmas, everybody!

  • Maxwell Leadership Podcast - Acknowledge Your Humanness

    Brené Brown said, "Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it's the thing that's really preventing us from taking flight." And in this week's episode, John Maxwell is showing how that's true — and how acknowledging your flaws frees you to become a high road leader.

    After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow explore practical ways to develop self-compassion, laugh at yourself, and believe in your unique potential, so you can apply John's insights to your life and leadership.

    Key takeaways:

    • Confident humility allows you to believe in yourself while still questioning your strategies.
    • If you don't show yourself kindness, you won't be able to extend it to anyone else.
    • The world needs you to embrace your humanness and step fully into your unique leadership greatness.

    Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Acknowledge Your Humanness Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/Acknowledge and clicking "Download the Bonus Resource."

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - December 24th - Luke 2:4
    Luke 2:4
    Because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home.
    Jesus was born in the little town of Bethlehem. Even today, it’s not a particularly large town with only about 30,000 people – the size of a small market town. However, Bethlehem was full of significance – it was here that Samuel anointed David. The prophet visited the town on God’s instruction to find a king to replace Saul. God told him to visit the family of Jesse, and the proud father happily presented his sons to the prophet. One by one, they met with Samuel, but, impressive as they were, God didn’t consider them suitable. The prophet had to learn that: “People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). David was the youngest of the sons, and such an unlikely choice. They hadn’t even bothered to invite him in from the fields where he was watching over the sheep and goats, but as soon as he came in, the Lord identified him as the new king.
    David may not have seemed a likely candidate for the role of king, but he went on to become a formidable military commander and a wise leader of his people. In the centuries that followed, the nation continued to look back on David’s reign as the high-water mark in their history. What the people of Israel learned was that God often works in surprising ways, and Jesus coming from David’s family line is a further illustration of that. Who would have thought that the Messiah would enter the world in such a humble way and at such an awkward moment in the nation’s history? Surely the Messiah would be welcomed by kings and rulers, or at least by the chief priest and his entourage, but it was not to be. Jesus came to a young couple who had no profile or seniority, and well away from the important people in the land.
    This God of surprises whom we meet in the Christmas story is the one we worship today. Time and again, he comes not to the leaders and the powerful, but to the humble people who simply agree to do his will. In a society in which style, profile and image mean so much, we need to remind ourselves that although we tend to look at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart.
    Question
    How have you seen God working in surprising ways in your own life?
    Prayer
    Lord God, help me not to be fooled by people’s appearance, but to see them as you do. Amen
