My media channels all go to Garth Heckman 

Text me 30 second interviews of you asking people “whats it take to be a man”

Quick intro… before I head a different direction… don’t let the new incoming president cause you to believe that life will be better… it will only be better when we have a revival in our country and world. Keep pushing, praying and sharing Christ with those you come in contact with. 

The largest game of Simon Says involved 12,215 participants at the Utah Summer Games Opening Ceremony in Cedar City, Utah, on June 14, 2007.

To play simon says you have to follow simon and you have to know your body

parts.  Same with God and his body.  Or your out!

But think about when your growing up and your siblings play copy cat and it

drives you nuts. We can do that in the body of christ and it's frustrating for

both people!  "Theres something different about you.."  That used to be a sly

way cutting someone down but really in gods eyes that's a compliment. 

Romans 12:4,5 Each one is a part of that body, and each part belongs to all the other parts. We all have different gifts, each of which came because of the grace God gave us. 

Look we all have arms… but that doesn’t mean we all have big biceps, we don’t all have the same flexibility, we don’t all have the same skin color, we don’t all have the same skill set with our arms… I can’t juggle, but I can throw a knife…

Point is - quit trying to be someone else. Find out who your are supposed to be in Christ and be that. 

You might have the gift of wisdom, but it might be best used with teenagers… you humor, your insight, your ability to connect etc… might rub adults the wrong way, but may be exactly what teens relate to. 

My thought specifically on this is that the worst thing about social media is that it tells us who we should be, how we should act, what we should believe, what our strengths should be, what are gifts should be… 

When was the last time you followed an influencer that was huge who’s gifting was the Mercy or compassion or hospitality… 

What if God was Simon… would he tell all of us to be the same and do the same? That would be a pretty boring noncreative God. But thats not him, he is the original originator of the pure creative… he creates stuff out of NOTHING… NOTHING. He can use your gifts to do the unbelievable. 

Give him some space to be God and to show him who you ought to be
