John Barclay wrote a book Paul and The Gift

The gift that one person gave another when they wanted to have an ongoing relationship with one another. The receiving of the gift was saying yes, I want to be a part of this relationship.

Grace means...

You are my favorite.

You are special.

And, I want a relationship with you.

noun. Charis. GK: an undeserved state of divine virtue, favor or unmerited sanctification

b: the ongoing invitation to live in response to the Lord’s delight

c: the relational and practical position we have as God’s special and favorite without earning

Ryan Reger - Is Profit Good? For a family business?

022 Ryan Reger - Is Profit Good? For a family business?
My Dad has been a part of a community called Proven Amazon Course with Jim Cockrum at the helm. My dad has shared with me over the years the possibility of starting a business online. In one email that my dad forwarded to me it was a podcast with Ryan Reger.
I ordered Ryan's book and listened to the audio book.
The book is short and sweet and gave me hope and inspiration that this would be possible for me and my family. Due to my Dad's encouragement and modeling, Sungshim and I believe and want to see Zachariah & Zoe start an online business before they graduate high school.
Part of this journey is building relationships with people we can learn from. Ryan is a great guy who seeks to share what he has learned.
We had a lot of fun in this conversation. And, we integrate how God can speak to us and lead us. May you be blessed and inspired to take action on what God has put in your heart.
Remember, you are loved!

"What if God could use me to teach people to dream again and become financially free?"
This is what I wrote in my journal in September of 2009. Since then I’ve had the pleasure of helping thousands of people create multiple streams of income.
I want to help YOU too!
Let me help YOU create multiple streams of income!

024 - Designed To Heal (w/Jennie McLaurin)

024 - Designed To Heal (w/Jennie A. McLaurin)

A doctor and a scientist reveal how to heal relational and emotional wounds by exploring the amazing restorative processes of the body.

I had so much fun dialoguing with Jennie. She is woman full of wisdom, faith and love.
I think you’ll wholeheartedly enjoy this conversation. I feel as though I gained a sister in Christ.

Our bodies are designed to heal. We fall off our bikes and skin our knees―and without effort on our part, the skin looks like new in a few days. But while our skinned knees easily heal, it can sometimes feel like our emotional and relational wounds are left gaping open, broken beyond repair. If our bodies instinctively know how to heal physical injuries, could they also help us understand how to restore painful emotional and relational ruptures?

In their groundbreaking debut book, physician Jennie McLaurin and scientist Cymbeline T. Culiat write Designed to Heal: a fascinating look at how the restorative processes of the body can model patterns we may adapt to heal the acute and chronic wounds of our social bodies. Through engaging patient stories, imaginative travels through the body’s microcellular landscapes, accessible references to current research, and reflections on the image of God, Designed to Heal offers a new perspective for healing our social divisions. By learning how the body is created with mechanisms that optimize a flourishing recovery from life’s inevitable wounds, we are given a model for hopeful, faithful, and enduring healing in all other aspects of our lives. Our wounds don’t have to have the last word. [Taken from https://www.jenniemclaurin.com/books ]
