Amazing Snippets from Jan:

Meditate on these Guest Snippets to see the useful wisdom that might come from God's voice and resonate with your heart and be implemented today on your journey.

1. I wonder why the guy next door, who is pretty wicked, why does he have a great life and great kids and why is not my life any better? It's not about being partners with God and walking in his kingdom. It's like, okay I'm doing this, and okay, where's the payoff?
2. People are just reading (the Bible) to get to the bottom of the page and playing games that they don't even know they're playing. So I do all the right things and then God is supposed to give me all this cool abundant life and I don't even know I'm playing it until my will life falls apart.
3. I have this conversation with God in the morning and then we began throughout the day and then God does just the wildest things and I say, "I saw that, I saw that!"
4. When you grow up in a lot of chaos you just try to control the world and it hurts the people you love.
5. My job is to do whatever it looks like to connect with God today which may be to go on a walk and may be to just cry out to God all the things that are making me crazy.
6. Where we get into trouble is we try to be good and we strain and struggle and everybody around us knows we are trying to be good and they wish we would just be ourselves.
7. I like the phrase that God likes partners not puppets. So we are partnering with God and advancing the kingdom of God. We are partnering with God and what it is like to love people around us.
8. The first one is about believing that God really loves me because I find that this is the central issue behind every problem we have.

Key Points Discussed:

Amazing Snippets from Mike:

Meditate on these Guest Snippets to see the useful wisdom that might come from God's voice and resonate with your heart and be implemented today on your journey.

1. You can fast-track a lot of things because you have transferable skills into other industries
2. A lot of people have a very weak definition of faith I don't think the opposite of faith is doubt, it is certainty.
3. Every journey we read about in scripture or in our favorite movies or stories, the story is of no interest if the hero doesn't have any fear, anxiety, or uncertainty.
4. People hide behind faith and God a lot, not within Him, and there is a big distinction to me.
5. I think when we step out in faith and we have courageous steps, we are in abiding God and hide under the shelter of His wings, but that doesn't mean we stay where He is and that doesn't mean He wants us to stay where we are.

Key Points Discussed:

• Mike's Career Pivot Story
• The Pivot Course
• How you can make a successful life transition/pivot
• Sensing God's emerging purposes for you

1. Being successful in life is being successful in all areas of life and I break that down into 7 areas.

3. Stay focused on what's most important in life and not about obtaining more things but in obtaining more values within life.

Key Points Discussed:

• Leaving a legacy
• The 7 Important areas in life
• Advice for those starting out in business
• Advice for those growing a business
• The Proverbs Challenge
• Your Life Plan Blueprint http://wisdom-trek.com/resources/

Guthrie's Take-Away Wisdom that leads to action today:

Take the Proverbs Challenge: Start daily reading of one chapter in the 31 chapter book of Proverbs. Read the chapter that corresponds to the day of the month. During months with less than 31 days, double up at the end of the month.

Romans 12:2 tells you, Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will. The Proverbs is the Bible's "book of wisdom" that can help you do this - renew your mind.
