Right now I am pumping the greens and Pre-workout and loving them both… Heres a secret “I’m on them right now as I do my podcast”.
Skin in the Game By Nassim Nicholas Taleb
What matters isn’t what a person has or does not have, it is what he or she is afraid of losing.
He goes on to say the more a person has to lose the more fragile they are.
Oh people can hide it with over confidence, arrogance, but thats a whole other topic.
But maybe he is on to something… I remember another author (author of life) who said
He who loses his life for me will find it…
Matthew 16
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
Peter was afraid of what he would lose… that is if he lost Jesus he would lose his place of authority when Jesus over threw the government or set up a dynasty or whatever grand plan Peter was thinking…. if he lost Jesus, he lost his future.
Jesus says something remarkable here… we typically miss it because we simply apply this verse to ourselves. Jesus said “he who wants to save their life will lose it… And we miss the point that Jesus within the next few days actually lives this out. He loses his life, he gives it up for the sake of Gods greater plan.
And then Jesus says “what good is it if you gain the whole world… i.e. you don’t lose anything, but only gain everything - but don’t lose your life to jesus- it means nothing.
If that doesn’t hit you what about this that ties the final bow on it. If you give up your life for Christ you then have the ability to do what Christ has called you to do and you get rewarded for it in Heaven. So if you don’t give up your life… well then you won’t be able to have room to do what he wants you to do and you will have very little in heaven.
My youngest son when he was 4 had a wood cigar box that had all sorts of worthless items in it. Broken toy pieces, a few pennies and a nickel, a little chain, a toy robot that was bent in half… you get the picture. So for Christmas I needed a box to put one of his gifts in. So I took that and emptied it out- never truly thought he would miss a small pile of crap BUT HE DID. I had to convince him that Daddy needed that box and needed it empty so that he could give him something better… it took a little convincing but he finally rested on that and couldn’t wait until Christmas.
You know the more crap you hang onto in your life, the less God can do in you and through you… its not even really a sin issue, but more of a space issue. You just don’t have enough bandwidth left in your life for God to do things… you are using it all for yourself.
I was training a client last week who is a recovering alcoholic. She said something I had never heard, but it hit me hard. She said “for years I fought for the right to hang on to one thing… my drinking. And it kept me from having everything I wanted in life. Now I have chosen to give up that one thing and I can experience all that I have wanted in life”.
You can chose to fight over keeping your life… God is a gentlemen- he won’t fight you for it. But in return all you get at the end of your life - is your life… and thats just not a very wise return.

Right now I am pumping the greens and Pre-workout and loving them both… Heres a secret “I’m on them right now as I do my podcast”.
Ecc. 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.
The Best things in life take time… Let say that again. The best things about a person in life take time. I love a man of integrity, character and loyalty. But those take time. Your reputation is built on these things, but you don’t get a reputation in a few months… it takes years… and in time with a good reputation you get character… in more time you get integrity and then finally loyalty - i.e. you are seen as having it and others also offer it to you as well.
Lets dumb this down for a second and make it real. What if I said I am starting a new online business where I am selling antiques. You begin to ask me questions… like one fundamental question: Where are you getting said antiques? I explain to you… I am making them in my garage.
There are some fundamental breakdowns here… first an antique and the value it contains is built on the fact that it is old, it has years behind it. It has stood the test of time. I guess I could make an antique if I was to finish making it and then hide it away for 100 plus years… Secondly, it must be in good shape… look I have a few antiques but they are falling a part, crappy no one will give me much. Calling something an antique - even if it is - does not mean it has value. unless it is in good shape
Finally, Even if its old, even if its in good shape the real value comes from who it used to belong to. I can sell an antique pair of reading glasses and I am sure I could fetch a pretty good price in value. But if they are glasses that belonged to Benjamin Franklin who actually invented glasses… well now we are talking about a whole other level of value.
Look you want integrity? Character? Loyalty? a Great reputation?
Understand it takes years, it must be in good shape from great decisions and finally it must be from someone who has led a valuable life (i.e. you lived for Christ)
In todays world we have confused heroes and superstars and rock stars and movie stars with people of character… These are horrible role models. A great role model is one who can teach you how to have a great reputation because they have years under their belt building a great reputation… In todays world it is not enough to just get amped up and excited by someone… you must have someone who can mentor you from a Godly reputation.

Gal. 4:27 / Isaiah 54:1
What a great verse to quote in a time of need AND THEN TO PRACTICE IT.
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”
THIS IS GOD TELLING SARAH TO REJOICE IN THE MIDDLE OF A VOID/LACK/UNANSWERED PRAYER
Galatians 4:29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.” 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

Rachel, Ellie, Rihan and Elliot… great hearing from you!
My favorite line in Rush Hour with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker is When Chris Tucker’s character looks at Jackie Chan and says “Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth”?
Its a great question… why? Because communication is primarily the responsibility of the listener.
Most of the times the persons communicating is doing the best they can to communicate… is it good? Maybe not, but it is the way they know best… is it healthy? Maybe not, but its the only way maybe that has been modeled to them.
So rather waste time talking about communication lets take a minute to talk about listening.
point one: Where is the relationship at?
Ever want to say something to someone but you fear their reaction?
Communication without a healthy relationship is like juggling grenades with the pins out… you just can’t take a chance letting go.
If you want to work on listening, work first on your relationship with the person… and take a hard look at yourself in that relationship as well.
Second: Enter their world.
What is it like to be them approaching you?
The little girl who climbs up on her Daddy’s lap and says Daddy you are handsome…. He is so charmed by his little girl. Then she says, and Im grettal… lets play.
What exactly do I mean? Validate their feelings as they communicate. I hate when parents are listening to their kids and say things like “its not the end of the world… you are missing the point- to them it feels like the end of the world.
Pretty soon they will no longer feel safe to talk to you.
Finally: Listening is learned.
When Coke a cola first introduced their product in China… they had massive world wide success- China was the next market to monopolize. they simply put the chines characters that sounded out the word Coke a cola on the bottles… but what it meant in Mandarin was “Bite the wax tadpole”. Massive failure.
So they went back to the Chinese experts and shoppers and asked questions and learned, they did tons of research to help communicate their product.
How much time do you spend researching the best way to listen to your spouse? Kids? Boss? Pastor? Parents?
The truth is, you learned from your parents… and the scary news is that your kids will learn from you.

The three biggest cripplers of your days and dreams.
Disappointment -
Disappointment
The main emotion of the adult American who has had all the advantages of wealth, education, and culture is disappointment. -John Cheever
DISAPPOINTMENT
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off
the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade
winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain
Broken expectations - you expected more of yourself. Do people know what you expect. Are your expectations logical or rational. Accept the disappointment. Change your mindset to seeking solutions.
Realize disappointment is not there to destroy you but rather to teach you.
Resentment
Resentment is the warm pie filling of
Anxiety
Frustration
Failure
Depression
Resentment comes from a form of these, but with the twist of betrayal. HOW COULD THAT PERSON DO THAT TO YOU…
Here are 5 steps to release and let go of resentment:
- Acknowledge Resentment. ...
- Identify Where You Have Power. ...
- Take Action Where You Have Power. ...
- Release Anything Over Which You Don't Have Power. ...
- Make Gratitude a Daily Habit.
Fear of Man
The fear of man creates an unusual appetite for the approval of man.
Love casts out all fear, Gods love creates a freedom in us to be who we were meant to be, say what we want to say, do what we want to do, dress the way we want to dress etc…
Growing up I had such a solid sense of my parents love for me there was no such thing as peer pressure. My parents were cool, and they loved me unconditionally, hugged me, told me, showed me… I could careless - I honestly couldn’t give a flying squirrels nut who didn’t like me or what you thought of me - I STILL DON’T BUT NOW IT IS BECAUSE I KNOW HOW MUCH GOD LOVES ME.
**Now thats freedom!
That is what we should all shoot for.
Eph. 3:16-21 Gods unfathomable love for us… allows his power to work greater thru us and freedom to be ourselves.
The next secret ingredient against fear is this…
FEAR HATES… HATES… HATES ACTION!
If you take steps toward what you are afraid of, it silences the fear in your head- and it empowers you to even go further than you thought! It is the steroid to your self esteem problems.
Learn these two lessons now:
First - When you die God is not going to ask you why you didn’t pander to more peoples opinions and judgements… he’s not going to ask you why you were not more like some other person… he is going to ask you why you were not like the person He created YOU to be.
Secondly - you will never resolve every problem, you will never resolve every differing opinion, you will never resolve every pain or obstacle. They are endless. So you must choose to be you above these and choose to be happy in spite of these.
Follow God no matter what… sounds simple until you truly study your motives and actions in real time!

Innovators always seem to have a special superpower that allows them to see things that no one else does… But their real secret power is that they are risk takers. But understand God is the ultimate innovator and risk taker… yes it may be in our DNA… but God is the source of our DNA.
Think of all the creative ways God had his will performed and his theology is explained. A whale, foxes with tails on fire, A meteor, A blind man, A father, a whore, a talking serpent, rags that heal people, a staff, A mother hen, a lion, a goat, sheep, the sand, Statues of salt, the stars… on and on God is creative and innovative.
All of these were ways he made himself known to mankind.
My question is why do we limit ourselves to how we can serve God.
We pray, read, attend church, witness and maybe get involved in a ministry at church….
Thats it?
Look there are no rules in the ways we can serve God… i.e. we can pray for innovative ideas.
Here are just a couple I can think of…
Every time you pray pull out a small blank business card and write out a prayer or spiritual blessing, put it in your pocket and have a few of them. When God says give it to someone you do- even if you don’t know them.
Ask God when you go to the store what you should buy and drive around your neighborhood until God tells you which house to drop it off at… trust me you will start a conversation.
Grab a couple of scripture verses, create a picture to post them and send them out via airdrop to anyone on the bus, or in your office who wants to grab it.
Do you create stuff? Pray over your goods and then give some away for free to people God tells you to.
Grow some stuff in your garden and pray over it and ask God what to do with it. Maybe people eat it and are healed.
Pack up clothes you don’t use and pray over them, put bible verses in the pockets and go pray over who to give them too… no don’t just drop them off at a thrift store… make it a mission.
Look there are a million ways to do this…
I have a friend who is a chiropractor who prays over his patients as he is adjusting them. He has had many people tell him there is something healing about his hands that goes beyond just snapping a few vertebra in and out.
Sing a song and post it on FB etc…
Paint or draw a picture and pray over it and give it to someone
Don’t limit God. Let him innovate how you serve him… and take a risk and do it.
You being used by God is not limited to you simply wanting it… you must be willing to try something about it. don’t limit yourself, don’t limit god… don’t limit what you can do for God and don’t limit how you can be used by God.

The Israeli minister of defense said 3 days ago that they are preparing for war. and then said if they go to war with Iran that most likely Russia and Turkey will counter attack on the side of Iran. This is spoken about in Ezekiel as the battle of Gog and Magog. Very striking that this is so closely tied into the end times. Prophetically spoken a few thousand years ago and now taking place before our eyes.
Genesis 18:12 So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
Sarah laughs… at Gods promise and then again at the angels that speak of this miraculous child…
Why does she laugh?
Does she laugh because of Abrahams lifestyle… he has handed her over to rulers in the past 25 years a few times saying she was his sister… So maybe she is thinking my Husband who would rather toss me out to the sharks is going to get me pregnant?
OR
Is is because she is past child bearing age… she no longer has her menstrual cycle and it seems absurd.
OR
She laughs because she knows that Abraham is enamored by Hagar and the son she has bore for him.
OR
She laughs thinking that her husband who is even older than her could now perform in bed and maybe even the thought of any type of passion is simply silly.
OR
Maybe she laughs simply because a child at this point is absolutely ridiculous
OR
She laughs at the thought of her womb which has been closed for years… could possibly be fertile ground
But why ask why?
Sarah laughed… and I guess I can’t really blame her given the circumstances… but what about Abraham- NOW HERE IS THE REAL STORY!
Romans 4:20-21 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
Abraham never doubted… you say but he had sex with his servant to get a son… but that was because Sarah pestered him to do it. She knew Abraham wanted a son, she knew time was ticking away and Abe was probably not going to be having to many more high fives in the bedroom. She asked him to do it. He did it not because he did not believe God was not going to come through, but rather to shut up Sarah.
How did he continue to believe after all these years? I guess the same way he believed when God told him to take his only son Isaac up on the Mountain and sacrifice him… believing well God will either bring him back to life or again get Sarah pregnant again.
HE HAD FAITH BECAUSE IT WAS A PROMISE FROM GOD.
His faith in Gods promise strengthened him.
And he gave God the glory before it ever came to pass.
Lets dumb it down in case you missed the point.
While Sarah was laughing
Abe was believing in Gods word
Trusted his word and was strengthened by trusting
Bragged to God about God and what would happen to God - and then gave him praise before it ever happened.
Thats the formula for faithful living!

Erosion… always thought of in a bad way.
Its power is that it goes unnoticed until it’s too late. We had a bridge in Minneapolis a few years ago collapse, not because it was built wrong… but because of erosion.
It’s subtle, its consistent and it does not track itself by emotions or feelings or circumstances… it will produce results.
but what if erosion had a positive side. So you are broke and you don’t have any money for retirement…
Try eroding your debt and your lack by using the same techniques as erosion.
Subtle… every week take out your phone and buy $10 of Crypto and $10 of a stock and put $10 in a savings account to later drop into a CD - You don’t talk about it, you just quietly do it.
Consistent… you do it every week, you put it on your calendar, you put up a sticky note, you have someone ask you weekly how you are doing.
Free of emotions or circumstances… if you don’t have the money then cut something out to have the money… if there is nothing to cut out get an extra part time job to put the money into your erosion project… regardless it will happen no matter what outside forces tell you.
It’s proven over time. I invested a tiny sum of money into crypto… its now sitting at around $130k I never even looked at it until a few years later… wow.
Every month I put a set amount into my stock portfolio… it does not matter how my stocks go… up or down. I picked relatively safe long term stocks… and yes I have an investor to help me.
1 These. 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil. 1:6 And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Here is the danger in neglecting the process… it does not start as habitual. One of my favorite trainers Just Transgrud of JT strength and conditioning - follow him on twitter and instagram…
he had a great point today on his post… he said its not that Thanksgiving can ruin your diet or even missing a day of training will mess you up… he said the problem is you start to lie to yourself… you say, well Im going to eat like a pig on Thursday so its not a big deal if break my diet today, and tomorrow and the day after… Im going to miss my work out Thursday due to TG, so I will take Wednesday off as well and friday… and then Monday morning rolls around and you find it harder and harder to do the right thing… Erosion.
it works on both ends.
Make small deposits today for God. Prayer, scripture, worship, sharing a kind word… and then do it every day.
My biggest influence when it came to training was a man by the name of Mike Morgan… huge dude. When I told him why I missed a training day, he looked at me - almost glaring and said “kid if one excuse will work, any excuse will work.” I can say I have just about never missed a day since then… truth!
And so today… never miss a day with God… let your bad habits erode as you set in new habits and watch them erode even more your other bad habits - I hope you didn’t miss that.
