The Strategic Living Podcast with Brian Holmes

I see great value in reflecting on a previous season, and identifying the major lessons one has learned, or the landmarks one has crossed. Sir Winston Churchill once said, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Today, I want to look back on last year and share with you 5 Pivotal Lessons I Learned in 2014.

It is an honor for me to introduce to you Wayne Jacobsen. Wayne travels the world helping people sort out what Jesus really taught, helping them find a freedom from performance-based religion to embrace a relationship with God deeply rooted in the Father's affection.  A former pastor, Wayne now hosts Lifestream.org, which provides resources for spiritual growth and a podcast at TheGodJourney.com to encourage people thinking outside the box of organized religion.  As a writer his most popular titles include He Loves Me:  Learning to Live in the Father's Affection, So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore, Finding Church, In Season, and A Man Like No Other. He was also co-writer and publisher of The Shack, which sold over twenty million copies worldwide.  Two of his books are now being adapted into movies for theatrical release.  His books, podcasts, and international travel have inspired countless people to a more vibrant faith and a greater understanding of living in the church Jesus is building in the world. In this episode, Wayne and I are talking about the transformative power of coming into a personal revelation that 'God Loves You'! This conversation will enlighten you, and bring you into an awareness that God is less interested in what you can DO for Him, and more interested in you being in relationship WITH Him.

We Have "Them and Us" Syndrome One of the greatest travesties I've witnessed in my lifetime is intentional separation between the church and the marketplace. This mindset has crippled our ability to bring heaven on earth, and has paralyzed us in becoming relevant change agents in the culture. On today's program, I want to share with you the importance of Convergence: When Ministry Meets the Marketplace.

We behave and act out of habit As we embark on another year, one of the most important things we can do is evaluate our habits. Habits, when formed, become second nature DRIVERS for our lives. These habits produce results; so when the results you are presently experiencing in you life don’t match up to what you want or know you are capable of, you must, as RAFIKI said … LOOK CLOSER! ON today's program, I want to share with you 'The Power of Habits, Rituals, and Routines'

Nothing Changes Until Something Changes! Another year has come and gone, and with all of our ideas, plans and even dreams, WE have to change if our results are going to be different than 2014. So many people can imagine themselves out of debt, healthy and at an ideal weight, making more money, owning THAT house or vehicle, or starting that business, YET, so many struggle to make the necessary internal changes that bring about lasting and positive results. The issue is not the WHAT, and sometimes it is not even the WHY. The real issue is that WHAT WILL YOU DO? The real issue is are we willing to make necessary changes, adjustments, re-arranging our priorities, applying discipline, structure, coaching, counsel? Are we willing to SHIFT our ways, so that we can SEE the change we desire? Someone once said, we have to BE the change we desire to see. In this episode, I want to challenge you with this idea: It's Another New Year ~ What Will You Do Different?

FORGET THE PAST, and look to tomorrow Another year has com to an end, and we ALL are thinking about the future and what it might hold.  Some of us are lamenting over what ‘could have been’;or goals you did not hit; or struggles you may have experienced this year  No matter where you are today, or where you hoped you would have been at this date in time, there is a future that God has planned for you  You may have to make some adjustments; you may need to re-focus or even renew your commitments, but in any case, the future is bright. ON today's program, I want to share with you '10 Things You Can Do to Finish Strong, and Focus Forward'

Experience what it is God wants you to experience. I truly believe it's success on every level in your life - health, wealth, relationships... This is a common time of year for most people to be thinking about "New Year's Resolutions". I believe "commitment" is a better word than "resolution". Resolution has become overused and lost it's meaning. So this year I want you to make a new "commitment" to the things God has laid on your heart. ON today's program, I want to share with you 'What's Keeping You From Pursuing The Desires of Your Heart?'
