00:02:07 or is your with family and friends to reflect on the meaning behind this season. In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world and everyone went to their own town to register.
00:02:31 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea Toe Bethlehem, the town of David,
00:02:40 because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child while they were there.
00:02:52 The time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her first born Ah son.
00:02:59 She wrapped him in close and placed him in a manger because there was no guest room available for them.
00:03:06 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over the flocks. At night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
00:03:14 and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were terrified. But the angel said to them,
00:03:22 Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David,
00:03:31 a savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, The Lord. This will be assigned to you.
00:03:40 You will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger. Suddenly, a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel praising God and saying glory to God in the highest heaven and on earth,
00:03:54 peace to those on whom his favour rest. When the angels had left them and gone into heaven. The shepherds said to one another,
00:04:04 Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about. So they hurried off and they found Mary and Joseph and the baby who was lying in the manger when they had seen him.
00:04:17 They spread the word concerning what have been told them about this child and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherd said to them.
00:04:26 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen,
00:04:37 which were just as they had been told on the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child he was named Jesus and the name the Angel had given him before he was conceived.
00:04:50 I hope this short reading of the passages from Luke find you healthy and happy at this time of the year.
00:04:58 I pray that if you're traveling, you have safe travels and return home safely. I pray if you're with family and friends that you enjoy this time and take some time with each other,
00:05:11 know that I'll be taking some time to travel for my family as well. And I wish you a Merry Christmas.

In today’s spiritual foundation episode about investing in others, I talk with you about Ecclesiastes 3:1 "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven".  I share why this doesn’t mean you are passive.  I also talk about how do you recognize the season.

Join in on the Chat below.

00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:05.389

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:24.720
Music.

00:00:24.759 --> 00:00:33.458
Move on so what ever season your hand when you reflect on it breaking is the season that your hands.

00:00:33.977 --> 00:00:46.853
Recognize that everything has a purpose everything has a season this season is one that you are blessed will need to learn to be faithful work and the growth through.

00:00:48.102 --> 00:00:51.777
Welcome and thank you for joining us in the inspired stewardship.

00:00:52.990 --> 00:01:02.652
If you truly desire to become the person god wants you to be more then you must learn to use time your talent and your treasures for your true calling.

00:01:03.036 --> 00:01:12.069
Any inspired stewardship podcast learn to invest in yourself invest in others and develop your influence so they use.

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:18.160
Music.

00:01:18.025 --> 00:01:23.204
Spiritual foundation episode about investing in others i talk with you about.

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:31.459
E-class the chapter three verse one y this doesn't mean that you need to be passive.

00:01:31.934 --> 00:01:37.410
And how you can recognize the season that your hands.

00:01:38.865 --> 00:01:47.745
What are those passages in the bible that just about everyone knows if for no other reason than because it's the lyrics of a popular song as well.

00:01:47.967 --> 00:01:53.632
Yes for everything there is a season a time for every activity under heaven.

00:01:54.241 --> 00:02:04.165
This passage from a class is a wonderful idea from the bible with the idea that everything,

00:02:04.189 --> 00:02:19.838
around us everything in the world comes with this season a time when you're supposed to be focusing on certain things and a time when your not a time when you're growing and a time when your not where your succeeding in a time

00:02:19.628 --> 00:02:25.950
where are not what are the things that happens to us sometimes we think about this passage.

00:02:26.397 --> 00:02:39.391
We begin to look at it and something where we're meant to be paso where the seasons of the world come upon us and our only job is to simply respond to those

00:02:39.361 --> 00:02:47.448
and the truth is it's not necessarily like that first off lot of different seasons come into our life,

00:02:47.544 --> 00:02:54.181
sometimes we can even throw dry seasons sometimes we come through seasons of of waiting,

00:02:54.304 --> 00:03:05.407
sometimes we have seasons of busy ness and other tires we have seasons with test and trials and pain and sometimes we have tests,

00:03:05.566 --> 00:03:18.028
where we are being awarded feel put upon and am fairly strong way in and all of these cases were meant to do things during that season,

00:03:18.133 --> 00:03:24.267
it's not about being positive it's about being active but it's about being active.

00:03:24.804 --> 00:03:32.603
No way that does it feel worse reality but instead responses to the season that your in

00:03:32.483 --> 00:03:46.097
you're not telling off season in your life you know that's because you begin to feel distant from god you begin to feel sometimes that maybe that voice that use to be easy but here are is very far away

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:55.568
this is where we have dryness in our life and things are going away and we got struggles and trials and regulations

00:03:55.484 --> 00:04:03.004
we need to recognize first off they were such a season and then secondly begin to actively try,

00:04:03.136 --> 00:04:08.675
you reach out and closer to god ourselves you got your distance,

00:04:08.762 --> 00:04:21.917
i often times instead it's we distance from god we stopped i'm missing ourselves and where we stop reading scripture we stopped on our prayer time we haven't been quiet and listened

00:04:21.815 --> 00:04:27.256
for that voice we've got stuck in a rut where we just kind of.

00:04:27.433 --> 00:04:39.373
Going through the motions but we are really drawing deeper into ourselves we selected our physical health or intellectual growth or other areas of your life are we

00:04:39.262 --> 00:04:47.052
hello and our relationships allowed them to suffer sometimes too we have seasons of waiting

00:04:46.986 --> 00:05:01.347
and waiting is one of the hardest things because automatically waiting feels passive when god is telling you that the answer is not no but is instead not now that's actually wanted the hardest,

00:05:01.497 --> 00:05:09.629
messages to ever hear from god sometimes i was waiting periods can be short sometimes thinking bee along.

00:05:10.320 --> 00:05:12.024
But even here.

00:05:12.435 --> 00:05:21.981
You need to be active in the process of waiting to you need to begin to make sure that you're laying the ground work that god is calling you

00:05:21.888 --> 00:05:27.454
tell me because odds are really good after a period of waiting comes up busy season,

00:05:27.505 --> 00:05:37.942
a time not when your busy the way the world and talk about business or you just getting everything done and there's way to much to do on your to-do list is way too long but a busy ness

00:05:37.867 --> 00:05:49.681
godly way where your being called to do something that is way beyond what you are ever able to do you being called and equipped by god to do things

00:05:49.543 --> 00:05:54.893
hey god in a way that is beyond anything you can do.

00:05:55.205 --> 00:06:07.019
That oftentimes he is the grind season the busy season this season of spiritual growth and often if we have it laid the foundation in earlier periods.

00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.656
We find ourselves over stretched.

00:06:11.076 --> 00:06:21.864
Remember god can equip you god can do anything but you have to do your part as well that's part of what god calls us to do to be your hands and feet of christ.

00:06:22.752 --> 00:06:31.100
And lastly sometimes you recognize that you're in a test trial period a period of struggle and you need comfort,

00:06:31.115 --> 00:06:40.894
and that's what you need to actively seek out god and the community around you so that we can begin to lift you up and walk with you through that time.

00:06:41.441 --> 00:06:45.522
Can you can begin to grow and heal and move on.

00:06:46.266 --> 00:06:53.101
So what ever season your fun when you reflect on that you recognize this season that you're running.

00:06:53.378 --> 00:06:58.305
Recognize that everything has a purpose everything has a season.

00:06:58.545 --> 00:07:08.297
And this season is one that you are blessed with and need to learn to be thankful for and growth through thanks for listening.

00:07:08.970 --> 00:07:17.417

In today’s spiritual foundation episode about investing in yourself, I talk with you about Romans 12:2 and how this transformation requires active processes.  I share why reviewing your life is part of transforming your mind.  I also talk with you about why this is a key to a spiritual life.

Join in on the Chat below.

[0:00] Thanks for joining me on episode four ninety seven of the inspired stewardship podcast.

I'm Daryl Lyons author of "Eighteen to Eighty" I challenge you to invest in yourself and others develop your influence and impact the world by using your time your talent and your treasures,

you're calling having the right behavior with your money is he doing that in one way to be inspired to do that so listen to this.

The inspired stewardship podcast with my friend Scott Maderer.

[0:34] Music.

[0:42] So i call you again as we do this annual review process is beginning to look at how things have gone in twenty nineteen me get to think about moving forward to twenty twenty.

Actually take this to heart and treatments when your life by the renewing of your mind.

[1:03] Welcome and thank you for joining us in the inspired stewardship.

[1:08] If you truly desire to become the person who god wants you to be can you must learn to use your time your talent and your treasures for your call.

Any inspired stewardship podcast learn to invest in yourself invest in others and develop your influence so you.

[1:27] Music.

[1:36] It's spiritual foundation episode about investing in yourself i talk with you about romans chapter twelve verses to.

Why reviewing your life is part of transforming your mind and why this is a key,

really developing your spiritual life.

Romans 12 to use a passage that i come back to time and time again both when i'm working with others as a client as well as myself it's one of a handful of passages that i look at as key for my own life.

Robin spell to says 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.

This idea of transforming your mind renewing your mind something that speaks to me

i'm sorry that is very focused on the mind and sometimes it

gets in the way of dealing with things like my faith and i love the fact of this passage

allows you to connect the two that it's by renewing your mind that you are transformed away from the pattern of this world.

[2:55] Are you able to determine the will of god,

are you able to hear the voice of god whatever you go through this hard work of transforming and renewing of your mind,

yesterday we talked about doing an annual review but i talked about how i do this constant state of reviewing all different levels daily weekly monthly quarterly and annually.

And one of the things i talked about it is

this idea of what i do while i struggle within in the third question was what things am great full for,

see i do this daily reflection of gratitude that i do this weekly and monthly and quarterly and annually

and i tried to constantly reflecting refund how my mind thinks about the things that are happening to me.

I gotta talk a little bit in the rest of this week about some other examples of deaths but this idea of reviewing your life.

Can be part of renewing your mind

c more past seven we simply go through life and we let it happened to us and we don't actually taken,

roll looking back and checking on what's happening in making sure that things are in alignment and more going in the direction we want to go

they're not really.

[4:21] Transforming our cells will not really renewing our minds and our mind is just going through the same pattern time and time again day after day.

[4:31] And that's really not what this is talking about this is challenging us to be an active participant in our life,

bring ourselves into alignment with what god wants us to do that romans 12 who is talking about at least to me

end that that action that idea of constantly reviewing and reflecting on using and planning and executing of doing it time after time after time is the key

tell me to having a life of gratitude to having a life where you really focus on others to having a life will you take the spiritual center

bring yourself more into alignment with what god is calling us to do.

[5:15] That's what i feel like reviewing your life and reviewing it over and over again.

He's part of developing a spiritual mindset without this active process if you just set back and let life happen to you,

never really able to move your center to where you become more in alignment with what god wants us to do not because that,

is it something that god can do to us or for us but it's because.

God wants a relationship with us he wants us to be an active participant in this process any fear of passive participant.

If you never actively paying attention to what you're doing and how it affects things that is really hard to renew your mind and transform yourself.

[6:07] So i call you again as you do this annual review process as you begin to look at how things have gone in two thousand nineteen and begin to think about moving forward into twenty twenty,

actually take this to heart and transform your life by the renewing of your mind thanks for listening.

Yo are thanks so much for listening to the inspired stewardship podcast.
