Happy Thanksgiving! Beyond the turkey and gathering of family, what reasons do we have for Thanksgiving?

There are many benefits to giving thanks and operating with gratitude. In part, that's why are we encouraged to cultivate an "attitude of gratitude".

Today on the blog, Darren shares a reflection on the practical impact of gratitude and encourages us to create a habit of gratitude.

Mid-life can’t be all that bad 🤣

👉🏻Good laughs from our Mid-life Leaders Getaway 👏🏻

Enjoying a BIG God at our Mid-life Getaway for Christian Leaders.

When we are not clear on what is most important, we fall prey to the "wander". There are 5 key habits that will help you flourish and someday finish well. These habits provide the needed framework to run with more and more purpose in every step.

In today's blog post, we walk you through these 5 habits.

Are you a busy Christian leader who would love to have helpful ways to really flourish in mid-life - but, well… you’re just SO BUSY?

I don’t know an intentional leader who doesn’t want to thrive and grow. And yet, soooo many of us juggle a demanding calendar, an exhaustive to-do list… and many legit reasons that have us respond, “Seriously,
I’d love to, but I don’t think I can. I’m so jammed right now!”

Hey, I get it. I did this same thing for years. Until a dear friend nudged me a said, “but who’s voice is that you’re hearing. It is of God or someone else?”

If this is you, may I encourage you with a little something?:

FACT: Science proves only lasting, habitual change happens when you’re "in the press". It doesn’t happen when you finally have down-time.

HERE’S 3 REASONS WHY:
1. If you want enduring change, the studied results show the best time to start is when you’re busy. Whaaa? Yep. Learn how to make it work in the challenging times and it’ll STICK IN THE BEST TIMES!

2. Too often you won’t won’t find yourself less busy anyways. Look at the track-record. Great intentions delude our thinking. Quite frankly it’s the devil’s great ploy. If he can’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy - so you can’t move towards goodness and growth.

3. If you’re waiting for when you’re "less busy” to start a new habit or program, it assumes that when you get busy again, you’ll stop. Starting when you’re less busy is a recipe to quit when life gets busy again. It’s a reality.

Do you have a stirring that whispers for more? That’s why we’ve designed a Mid-life Getaway (next week) for Christian Leaders who feel the impact of life’s busyness and brokenness. And yet, want to flourish spiritually, relationally, and practically in the second half of life.

If this Event is right for you… don’t let “busyness” get in the way. That’s too easy.

In speaking with other business leaders that are struggling in mid-life… I have come to realize that one of the common realities of mid-life is a weighted load that is burdening their soul. This is like a wagon that has accumulated many items over time.

In today’s blog post, we invite you to unhitch that wagon. And live life the way God designed you to live it.
