For years it was believed in the personal growth community that it takes 21 days to develop a habit. 

Recently however, some scientific studies and experiments have proven this to be a fallacy.

According to Phillippa Lally; a health psychology researcher at University College London, a new habit usually takes a little more than 2 months — 66 days to be exact — and as much as 254 days until it’s fully formed.

Yes, it probably takes this long to mortify the flesh.

So, what are the 3 disciplines that the devil and his henchmen will do everything in their power to keep you from?

Well, it’s not rocket science. You probably know them already...

But just to be sure... you&apos;d better listen anyway. ;)

Oh, and I (Sebastien) also cover seven steps to develop a new habit to help you to be well on your way in resisting the devil!</itunes:summary><itunes:author>Elisabeth and Sebastien Richard</itunes:author></item><item><title>The TOP 6 Reasons People Leave Christianity</title><itunes:title>The TOP 6 Reasons People Leave Christianity</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent">Last week, Paul Maxwell, a former Desiring God writer and the author of the book </span><em style="background-color: transparent">The Trauma of Doctrine</em><span style="background-color: transparent">, has announced he is no longer a Christian.&nbsp;</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent">It shocked a lot of people, and yet, he was only one more who bit the dust in the last couple of years.</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><span style="background-color: transparent">Since 2019, we have seen quite a few BIG names renounce their faith and basically leave Christianity.</span></p><p class="ql-align-justify">These BIG names are just the ones we know about.

Well, in this week’s episode, we are exploring an important question for the remnant and the Christian truthers. The question is...

How much information (or truth) is too much? And, conversely, how can we navigate the barrage of information and disinformation that comes our way every day?

How much of the Enemy&apos;s plan should believers seek to know? How to know when you&apos;ve gone too far down the rabbit hole?

You see, I (Sebastien), used to be an avid truther, conspiracy realist, and information seeker. Through seeking and research, I unraveled and found incredible mysteries. But, after about a decade, I began to feel like all I was only focused on negative stuff. As a result, I became cynical, arrogant, and depressed. It’s not a good place to be, especially when you’re married, with children.

So, in this week’s Broadcast Episode, we tackle how to navigate the subject of TRUTH, and dare to question: How much of it can we and should we handle?

With everything that’s going on right now in the world, we felt that a balanced approach is quite needed at this time in the body of Christ. 

So, in this episode, we consider how to avoid extremes in both negativity and information. As you will see, being balanced in a time of information overload and disinformation is absolutely crucial in order to maintain a healthy view of the world, God, and events - even during the darkest times.

By the way, I (Sebastien Richard) shared this poem during the broadcast. I believe it will bless some of you:

THE RABBIT HOLE (by Sebastien Richard)

I went down the rabbit hole. I wanted to see just how deep it went.

I said to God, &quot;I&apos;ll hold your hand, just don&apos;t let go.&quot; So, down, down, I went.

I thought I would reach the bottom. The farther down I went, the more I learned, and yet the darker it got. As I spiraled downward, I kept holding God&apos;s hand - barely.

I gained much insight, unraveled mysteries, un-learned much, but still didn&apos;t reach the end of it. &quot;That hole is just too deep&quot;, I thought. It became just pitch dark.

When darkness was all I could see, that&apos;s when I told Him, &quot;Enough already! Hold my hand Lord, I&apos;m coming back up. I miss the light I took for granted.&quot;</itunes:summary><itunes:author>Elisabeth and Sebastien Richard</itunes:author></item><item><title>Prophetic Dream for Quebec, Canada-2021</title><itunes:title>Prophetic Dream for Quebec, Canada</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Sebastien Richard shares a prophetic dream he had on November 26, 2020.&nbsp;This is a warning urging you to prepare spiritually and physically for 2021.

With all that has been going on in the west, many think that the Church is in trouble. 

We’ve seen... 

church closures. 
Pastors losing their jobs. 
Governments forbidding Christians to assemble in church buildings. Etc.

But despite what we’re seeing, the Church is not in trouble at all. 

Jesus assured us in the gospels that the gates of hell would not prevail against His Church. 

So, what is going on then?

Well, I read a meme/quote on social media this week that sums it up nicely:

“God’s Church isn’t in trouble. Man’s church is.”

And what this means is that it&apos;s time for us (believers in the West) to rethink and reform the way we do church.

How does a Christian find strength during a season of spiritual warfare?

Many years ago, the Devil already knew what God wanted to do through us as a couple, but also as individuals.

In my early twenties, I suffered deep, repetitive, and debilitating depressions that brought me to the brink of suicide many times. It is only through God’s grace that I was made to overcome these.

Looking back, I now know the enemy was behind much of these attacks on my mind because he wanted me out of the picture permanently. He most probably knew where I was going to be later – today. In hindsight, I totally understand why he wanted me dead.

*** Satan never fights us for where we are, but rather for where we&apos;re going.

But how can believers stay in the kitchen when the heat gets so hot that it&apos;s almost unbearable? How can we resist the devil until he flees from us?

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 25:2:

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.”

A lot of believers decide it is too much work to desire the glory of Kings.

In other words: They do not wish to seek out matters. They prefer to seek out those who seek out matters.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

It is the reality of the world with which we are presented.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>During this COVID-19 crisis, many are being presented a version of reality that only creates hopelessness, fear, anxiety, and despair. You can choose to stay there by accepting what you are presented with - or you can choose to escape the matrix, or perhaps I should say… matrixes.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You see, there isn’t just one matrix that you need to escape from to free your mind, soul and spirit. <strong>There are three!</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this episode, we go where we’ve never been before because these are unprecedented times. We want you to live an empowered life and to walk with God. For this, some of you will need a paradigm shift. You need to reach a new level of awareness.

So many believers struggle with the fact that God really does want them to prosper. They struggle so much with it that they actually build an anti-prosperity and anti-success theology to make themselves feel better about staying broke. 

Others also have an unscriptural view of prosperity and teach lavish spending and opulence instead. 

Both views are unbalanced.

Today,we’ll look into this verse and consider the reasons why God really does delight in our prosperity. 

We’ll also take a look at what true biblical prosperity is.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Definition of Purpose: The reason for which something is done or created, or for which something exists.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but a life without purpose” - Myles Munroe</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.” - Myles Munroe</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You are not an accident! You were created </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">to fulfill a purpose. You are the answer to someone’s need!” - Coylette James</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In order to understand the purpose of a thing, you must understand and embrace what was in the mind of the creator when the creation occurred.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Myles Munroe</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"When God gives you these visions, understand that sometimes people are not going to 'get it'. But He found YOU special enough to give it to YOU!"</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-Crystal Davis</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The best leaders are proactive, strategic, and intuitive listeners. The best leaders possess the uncanny ability to understand what is not said, witnessed, or heard.” (Myatt 2012, page 1)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Foresight is a characteristic that enables the servant-leader to understand the lessons from the past, the realities of the present, and the likely consequences of a decision for the future. It is deeply rooted in the intuitive mind.” - Spears, 2010 (p. 28)</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” ~ Matthew <span>[13:44]</span>-46</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">If Satan had known what the death and resurrection of Jesus would accomplish, do you really think he would have accelerated the process?” ~ S. Richard</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Even once we have found our purpose, we still don’t know the ultimate destination ahead of time. He keeps us on this treasure hunt. Revealing step by step our path to purpose.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- S. Richard</span></p>

	<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Memorable Quotes:</span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We have to be able to entertain thoughts that we’ve never had before in order to change our reality.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - S. Richard</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Enemy wants the Church to be broke because when the Church has money the Church has power.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The reason some people are broke is because they’re blaming everybody else for their lack of success.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Action trumps everything! If you don’t like where you’re at, do something about it.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Understand that the authority to change your life is married to the responsibility you take of your life.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There is no tree that will ever grow a leaf unless the roots be buried in deep soil, and someone has to tend that soil. Someone has to be able to feed those nutrients into those roots.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Some will say: ‘If you’re rich and you call yourself a Christian you should be giving back to the poor. Now, hang on a minute! The first guy who was noted for saying that was Judas Iscariot.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you’re not able, that’s one thing. But if you’re not willing, that’s not my fault. So, my success does not mean your failure”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If we can get it through our minds that money is in the hands of ‘Jireh’ (God will provide); and money like mountains, like cancer, like the issue of blood, like the little girl who died while Jesus was on His way - they all answer to Him.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I love the T-shirt I saw the other day in a bookstore that said: ‘To leave the 99 in search of the one seems nuts… unless you’re the one.’'</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“God blessed us to be a blessing.” </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">- J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There’s a reason why the devil doesn’t want Christians to be wealthy… because once they are wealthy, they kill poverty. Christians who are wealthy fight abortion. Christians who are wealthy adopt young children. Christians who are wealthy give to educate, to empower, and they fight the social agenda of the gates of hell.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you think you understand quantum physics, you don’t understand quantum physics.”</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - J. Loren Norris</span></p>

Does He not love us? Will He not help us? How do we deal with feeling abandoned in hopeless darkness? Written while imprisoned, St. John of the Cross, a 16th century monk from Spain, composed this spiritual masterpiece. In <em>Dark Night of the Soul</em>, he takes readers on a deeply spiritual journey through hardships and temptations to complete union with God. In a step-by-step process, he shows how God can use this "dark night" to eventually bring our human spirits into greater illumination, revealing heavenly wisdom and the passion of divine love.</p><p><strong>ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS (1542 1591)</strong>, born Juan de Yepes Alvarez, was a Spanish mystic, Catholic saint, Carmelite friar and priest, from Fontiveros, Old Castile. A reformer of the Carmelite order, St. John of the Cross urged them to return to a life of prayer. He is considered, along with St. Teresa of Avila, as a founder of the Discalced Carmelites, men and women who dedicated themselves to a life of prayer. He is also known for writing <em>Ascent of Mount Carmel</em> and<em> A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul</em> and the <em>Bridegroom Christ</em>. His works are highly regarded and widely studied by the church today.</p><h3>Something to put on your wall to remind you that:</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://www.thrivingonpurpose.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/299258-300x300.jpg" alt="In Christ-You-Are" height="300" width="300"></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?event=AFF&amp;p=1203735&amp;item_no=299258" target="_blank"><strong>You Are Framed Art</strong></a></p><p>Framed Scriptures to give strength and courage on life's journey, arranged in designer collage format and set in classic dark frame, 7" x 7".</p><p>At the center is the subject of all the featured Bible verses; embellished with small cross inset.</p><p><em>You Are..

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jim Rohn, the late great business philosopher said: </span><b><i>“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”</i></b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Kingdom believers and ambassadors of Christ in our culture, we are called to a high level of influence. To do so, we must learn the value of discipline.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Our Lord called us to be <strong>His </strong></span><strong>disciples</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a word closely associated with </span><strong>discipline</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But what exactly is discipline? What does it consist of and what does it require? Is it really painful like Jim Rohn said?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this week’s episode, we’ll look at the ingredients of a disciplined life for the believer and what it means to avoid a lifetime of regret. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most of us are familiar with the parable of the prodigal son. It’s the story of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">us</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">… when we came to our senses and came back to the Father in repentance, right? It’s a story about the lost becoming saved. The wretched being forgiven. It is all of this, of course.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s the way we’ve been taught this timeless parable of our Lord in Sunday school, and then later in Church by most pastors.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But when we take the time to read the story, study it, and consider how most Christians lead their lives, we notice something very peculiar - even troubling. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There seems to be something we’re missing about this story - something vital. And there is!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we’ll look at what that peculiar thing is, and how, by understanding it, we can correct our thinking, our walk, and our results. </span></p>

	<h2><b>Memorable Quotes:</b></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> “The father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. </span></i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.” </span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Luke <span>[15:22]</span>-24</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When we do what we want instead of what God wants, we are living like pagans.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD.” </span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">-</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">1 Samuel <span>[15:23]</span></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The unbeliever is in open rebellion against the Father because He seeks to live life His way and do His own thing.”</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“In many ways, when God granted human beings free will, He gave them a ‘share of the estate’. ”</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If you yourself, or if you’ve ever witnessed a friend or relative who became backslidden, the first thing they do is put some distance between themselves and holy influences in their life.”</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">If life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. And if you get up, you can stand up. And if you stand up, you can fight for your dream once again.” </span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Les Brown</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“If there are 1000 steps that separate us from God and we make one small step towards our Father in heaven, He will cover the 999 remaining steps as He runs towards us. He covers us with His grace and embraces us.”</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We love to talk about the repentance of the son and the forgiveness of the Father, but we seem to miss the part about the son’s restoration.”</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Excessive humility is just another form of rebellion.”</span></i></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ve probably heard the saying, </span><strong><i>“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.''</i></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is especially applicable to those of you who attempt something great. Whether it’s writing a book, starting a business, or planting a Church, there will be times when the going will get so tough that will will want to quit and get back to your comfort zone. But is your comfort zone really that much more comfortable… or are you just deluding yourself?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we depart from what we know to embark on a journey with God into the unknown, it is often done with great enthusiasm despite our initial fear. When God gives us the green light to go in a specific direction, it ignites great fervor in our hearts. Few people lack motivation in the beginning of a great work or project.</span></p>

That’s when we start to think that perhaps this wasn’t such a good idea. And, in the worst case scenario, that’s when some of us begin thinking about doubling back - heading back to our comfort zone. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When our dream or calling becomes very difficult, we look back to our old comfort zone, our Egypt; and we may even miss some of its comforts while forgetting the crack of its whips and the sweat dripping down our brow. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In church on Sunday, we are often told to teach our children daily about the Bible and about God. This, for sure, is something every believing parent </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">should do</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It is crucial to the spiritual development of our children. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But…</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b><i>Is it enough to make your children into leaders?</i></b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While teaching them about God and Scriptures will make them more solid in their faith and understanding, sadly, it is no guarantee that they will grow strong in their </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">leadership</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s be honest… We’ve all met this type of believer: Christians who are loving, kind, and very deep in their knowledge of the Bible, and yet, who are zero in the areas of boldness, self-confidence, and leadership. These types of believers seem to rely on God, the Bible, and religion more as a crutch than as a source of empowerment.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, we’ll address eight key principles that will ensure that won’t be the case with </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">your child</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Eight key principles that, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">if applied</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, will forge your kids to be the head, and not the tail. Principles that will make your kids more confident, willing, and capable. Principles that will make them into… leaders!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We are often told that great leaders reproduce themselves in others - that they make other great leaders. The best place to start is by implementing strong leadership lessons in your own children and by how you raise them.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter your kid’s age, It starts TODAY!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the steps taught in this podcast episode might stretch you as a parent, which is good - right?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Right.</span></p>

Christianity operates in reverse: we get the position without merit, and then we are called to fill it by doing the works God prepared in advance and in accordance with the position.”</em></strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p class="ql-align-center"><strong><em>“Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things.

<p>I really like using the Kindle app to read most of my books for two reasons;  I really like the kindle app to get some extra bedtime reading done. It's practical and convenient and you don't need a flashlight to read when your spouse is asleep...lol</p>
<p>(p.s. you can dim the light so it's not too bright)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, it's a great way to get your reading done and not have all your books piling up on your night table. We already have 5 bookshelves full. Only the "elite" books dwell there </p>

<p>I really like using the Kindle app to read most of my books for two reasons;  I really like the kindle app to get some extra bedtime reading done. It's practical and convenient and you don't need a flashlight to read when your spouse is asleep...lol</p>
<p>(p.s. you can dim the light so it's not too bright)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also, it's a great way to get your reading done and not have all your books piling up on your night table. We already have 5 bookshelves full. Only the "elite" books dwell there </p>

<p>We are part of a social era that teaches us to conform to this world, that being vulnerable, raw and real is the best way to build your business online, right?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Are you being taught a method that is displeasing to your Father in heaven?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Is this social media method destroying your Influence as a Leader?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Where do you draw the line?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You want to please God but you're not sure what a Kingdom Entrepreneur should look like in this social media era of online Influencers...</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two main trends taught on social media nowadays in order to gain followers in today’s market:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>One is to show yourself in the raw and as vulnerable. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The problem with this approach is that some go too far and lay out all their dirty laundry (i.e. sins) in the open. In doing so, they claim they’re only human and that it’s o.k. because people can relate to them better this way. According to many experts, this method makes your followers feel like you “understand them” and makes you more “relatable”.</span></li>
</ul><br/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><b>The second approach is known as the “Fake it till you make it”. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">This method is used to portray yourself as someone who has it made, even though you may be struggling. This is basically lying about your success and pretending to be something or someone you’re not in order to attract followers and/or clients. </span></li>
</ul><br/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nobody likes a fake. And yet, so many entrepreneurs out there behave as if they are multi millionaires, and the truth is they are broke, in more ways than one.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s just plain wrong.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As kingdom entrepreneurs God calls us to be honest, truthful, and yet to maintain our posture and integrity.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> There is a definite and delicate balance between being real (raw) and keeping your posture (influence). </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t always easy to do because you have those down moments when you may feel as if you can’t deliver what’s expected of you. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We get it. We feel your pain. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, this week’s podcast is all about being real and keeping your <strong>posture</strong>: How we should act as <strong>Kingdom Entrepreneurs.</strong></span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For decades, even centuries, a spirit of poverty has invaded the Church. What is a spirit of poverty, you ask?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Simply this: A spirit of poverty is a collective and religious mindset that believes the following:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The poor are virtuous, the rich are sinful</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">God doesn’t want you to be wealthy</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having money will lead you to hell</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jesus was poor and so should you</span></li>
</ul><br/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we will take a biblical look at what some have called "The Prosperity Gospel" to find out if riches really do lead to vice, or if we were only taught so.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We will also discuss the financial situation of our savior during His ministry and find out if He was really as poor as advertised.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the end, you will find out that as a Christian Entrepreneur, having money is not only necessary, but a very real and useful thing in order to fulfill your unique God-given assignment. After all, there is a reason why: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">God delights in the prosperity of His servant </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">(Psalm <span>[35:27]</span>).</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To paraphrase Al Capone, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You can go a lot farther with godliness AND money, than with godliness alone.”</span></i></p>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having money will lead you to hell</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jesus was poor and so should you</span></li>
</ul><br/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode, we will take a biblical look at what some have called "The Prosperity Gospel" to find out if riches really do lead to vice, or if we were only taught so.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We will also discuss the financial situation of our savior during His ministry and find out if He was really as poor as advertised.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the end, you will find out that as a Christian Entrepreneur, having money is not only necessary, but a very real and useful thing in order to fulfill your unique God-given assignment. After all, there is a reason why: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">God delights in the prosperity of His servant </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">(Psalm <span>[35:27]</span>).</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To paraphrase Al Capone, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You can go a lot farther with godliness AND money, than with godliness alone.”</span></i></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i>“Children </i><i>are not surprised by the miraculous, they expect the miraculous.”</i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>“</em></strong>In many ways, as adults we have become adulterated (corrupted) and lost it (our childlike faith) along the way. In many ways, to have Kingdom Faith we must unlearn what we have learned.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b>“The Kingdom of God is made up of citizens that are childlike.”</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“The less our kids ask from us, the less they get. That’s pretty simple isn’t it?”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“The best way to figure out how we should have childlike faith is by observing how small children operate.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“Our children get good things from us when they behave and obey us. When they cooperate with our will. It’s the same thing with God. <strong>He blesses and rewards obedience.”</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>“Our Father is the King. He is the smartest, strongest, and richest one there is.”</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, <strong>Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.</strong> Verily I say unto you, <strong>Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.</strong> And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.” <strong>~ Mark 10: 13-16</strong></p>

If not, rest assured - you&apos;re not alone. Developing Kingdom faith is a process. While we, as believers, were all given a &apos;measure of faith&apos;, it&apos;s what we do with that measure of faith that will determine what we accomplish for the King. In this episode of the Thriving on Purpose Podcast, we&apos;ll teach you just how you can have the same faith as Paul, Peter, and Moses. They too were given a measure of faith, but they understood the dynamics and working out of their faith. And that, dear friends, is what makes the difference between moving mountains... or moving molehills. &lt;br /&gt;

<h2>Memorable Quotes and Verses:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In order for you to understand how to operate in The Kingdom of God, you need to understand How The Kingdom of God operates.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-Sebastien Richard</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Kingdom of God, His influence, His rulership, has now been restored within the hearts and lives of men who are serving the King to this day. And these men and women take back territory from the enemy, for the King, everyday by doing and fulfilling God’s will. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.”</span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - Hosea 4:6</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”    </span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">- John <span>[18:37]</span></span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” </span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Revelation <span>[17:14]</span></span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; The world and all it contains, You have founded them.”</span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Psalm <span>[89:11]</span></span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How the citizens of a Kingdom behave reflects on the goodness and character of the King. It makes a kingdom’s glory shine before other people and other nations. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">We, in the same way, are citizens of the Kingdom of God by birth. We were born into the Kingdom of God at our New Birth. </span></p>

<p>God is good... all the time! We say it, all the time, but do we really mean it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yes, God is good, most definitely, and in this 4th episode of God's Kingdom Purpose for Man, we'll prove it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We'll dig deep into how the problems of life, pain, and suffering do not originate with God or His will for us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We'll also examine how our false beliefs, corrupt understanding, and lack of faith have lead us into believing lies about our good good Father in Heaven.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the end, you will understand (and hopefully believe) that you cannot have what heaven has unless you think like heaven thinks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, you wanna move mountains? Sure you do. Who wouldn't?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But, the Bible says you need mustard seed-size faith to do so. And for that, you need to really believe that... God is good, all the time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It all starts here!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>God is good... all the time! We say it, all the time, but do we really mean it?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yes, God is good, most definitely, and in this 4th episode of God's Kingdom Purpose for Man, we'll prove it!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We'll dig deep into how the problems of life, pain, and suffering do not originate with God or His will for us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We'll also examine how our false beliefs, corrupt understanding, and lack of faith have lead us into believing lies about our good good Father in Heaven.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the end, you will understand (and hopefully believe) that you cannot have what heaven has unless you think like heaven thinks.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, you wanna move mountains? Sure you do. Who wouldn't?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But, the Bible says you need mustard seed-size faith to do so. And for that, you need to really believe that... God is good, all the time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It all starts here!</p>

<h2><strong>Memorable Quotes &amp; Bible Verses:</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"There is nothing more scary to Satan than a believer who knows his authority." - Sebastien Richard</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The definition of<strong> purpose: </strong>The reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"People who know God and their specific purpose, you will notice, are the ones who are the light of the world. The others live in utter darkness."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">- Sebastien Richard</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Christianity is the greatest religion in the world, but it is such a shame that its never been lived out."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near." - Matthew <span>[4:17]</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"At daybreak, Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. But he said, <strong>" I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other towns also, because</strong> <strong>that is why I</strong> <strong>was sent."</strong> And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">- Luke <span>[4:42]</span>-44</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. <strong>"The time has come,"</strong> he said. <strong>"The kingdom of God has come near. repent and believe the good news!" </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">- Mark <span>[1:14]</span>-15</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">As a side note, it seems to me a scary prospect that since the Church isn't busy preaching <strong>" The good news of the</strong> <strong>Kingdom"</strong>, we might this way be postponing His second coming.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-Sebastien Richard</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Our problem is that we spend so much time telling people how to get into the Kingdom that we rarely teach them what to do once they get inside." -</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Myles Munroe</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">" It will be done to you according to your faith (Matthew 9:29). If you do not believe the word of God concerning what you were given through the Holy Spirit, you will not experience it."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">- Sebastien Richard</p>

<p>Three hundred years ago, Jonathan Edwards penned his life's resolutions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These have stood the test of time and proven to be far superior to the New Year's resolutions that most of us make today.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In all, he wrote 70 life resolutions - all of which could transform anyone's life today if they were to apply them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The proof is in the pudding: Jonathan Edwards' life legacy still stands as proof positive of the immense impact he had on religion, philosophy, academia, and even politics.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this episode, find out how New Life's resolutions will always trump New Year's resolutions, and how, like Jonathan Edwards, you can make them too and leave a legacy of your own.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We will NOT go through ALL 70. We chose 15 of his Resolutions to talk about in this episode.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, we did prepare your very own PDF of Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions below which do include all 70!  In an English we can all understand </p>

<h3><strong>Memorable Quotes:</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>"If you are fully sold out to God, He will take your weaknesses and work them into strengths."- S.Richard</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“If you don’t go within, you will go without.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Our wish and prayer for you on this New Year is that you would <em>“prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” ~ 3 John 2</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.” - Jonathan Edwards</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>"When we work on our character instead, these other resolutions (like lose weight, or quit smoking, or make friends) usually take care of themselves."</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>"A strong moral character, seasoned with the pursuit of God, will enable you to accomplish so much more every year than anything that is done outwardly in your own strength as a New Year’s resolution."- S.Richard</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"And this goes very well with the values we espouse here at Thriving on Purpose, which are best summed up by our tagline of "<strong><em>Digging Deeper to Climb Higher</em></strong>. "</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>"As I read though Edwards’ resolutions, I realized that any one of those is not only a challenge, but would actually contribute a great deal to building up Godly character."</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>"Did you make an outward resolution or are you inwardly RESOLVED? The choice is yours and so will be the results."</em></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter what you are trying to achieve in your business, you will need a strong team to do it. You can only go as far as your supporting cast will take you. Sports stars and oscar winners know this to be true.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jesus also knew this, which is why he put together the most impactful team in the history of the world: His twelve apostles.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These twelve seemingly ordinary men set the world on fire. It’s not because they chose to follow Jesus, but rather because He chose them to follow Him. This difference is huge in team building dynamics.</span></p>

<div></div>
<div>Did you know that most business owners do not know how to identify their target market?</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>While some of it is their own fault, we could also blame the types of philosophies we are generally taught in business. The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is in thinking they can market or sell their product or service to just anybody. That just isn't the case.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>In this week's episode, we'll talk about how important it is to know who you are and what you're about in order to identify your ideal customer - your avatar.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>As you will see, there is no such thing as over-targeting. We'll also get into some powerful yet counter intuitive ideas, such as: <i>The people you repel are just as important as the people you attract.</i></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>We prove, from the life of Jesus Himself, just how true that is!</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>So, if you think an avatar is a big blue giant creature from a James Cameron movie, you definitely need to listen to this week's episode!</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>If you're a Home Business owner, Online Business Owner or Network Marketer, you'll get tons of value out of this episode </div>

<h2>Memorable Quotes and Verses:</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">It is interesting to note how Jesus didn’t want just anybody to follow Him, and neither should you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-Sebastien Richard</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A strong sense of personal brand awareness will make you avoid wasting time with the wrong people.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Who we are is who we attract."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">-Sebastien Richard</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>-<strong>2 Corinthians <span>[2:15]</span>-16 </strong></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables<strong><sup> </sup></strong>so that,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">“‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,<br />
and ever hearing but never understanding;<br />
otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mark <span>[4:10]</span>-12 </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>John 6: 25-27</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"If your target audience isn't listening, it's not their fault, it's yours."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>-Seth Godin</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Choose your customers, choose your future."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>-Seth Godin</strong></p>

<p>There exists 10 simple principles that dictate if a Christian Entrepreneur will succeed or fail.</p>

<p>"When the Bible tells us that God rested on the seventh day, it's not because He was tired. It is because He ceased His work of creation."</p>

<p>Since you've decided to become an entrepreneur, you've probably realized how much more challenging your life has become. If you're married, your spouse has probably realized this as well. Maybe your spouse is very supportive. If that's the case, good for you! If not, just know you're not alone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, maybe you're one of those who comes home to a disgruntled and critical spouse day after day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You want to do God's will, and you truly believe this is the next step in your life, but your spouse doesn't see things the same way you do. We get it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This can take a toll on your marriage. Stats say that entrepreneurs have a higher rate of divorce than the norm.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But hey, you don't want to become a statistic and choose your business over your spouse, right?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is why this week's episode is so important. In fact, for some of you, it could save your marriage!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let's face it, if you're an Entrepreneur at heart, it's not easy to be married to you!  </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs can be impulsive, over-excited, or on fire when they have a project in mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They may even try many different business ventures or home businesses in their lifetime.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This episode will help you in two ways. We'll help you understand your spouse better, and we'll help you to show your spouse just how great this vision of yours can be!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And, if you're the <em>mompreneur</em> in this marriage and your husband always has something negative to say about your business... you're going to love this episode too!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So, put away the kleenex, your marriage is far from over. It's all going to work out. Hey, we've got your back!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” - Jerry Seinfeld</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"What we fear in public speaking is not the act per-se, but the rejection that could come from it."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There are two types of speakers: those that are nervous and those that are liars.” - Mark Twain</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest.” </span></i></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Winston Churchill</span></i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"In order to be convincing, you need to be convinced."</span></em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Always keep this in mind: There will always be someone more knowledgeable than you in the audience. And some of them can call you out on inaccurate information… sometimes even publicly."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog gone it, people like me.” - Stuart Smalley</span></i></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Preparation eliminates agitation."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"You don’t want to be shaking when you go on stage… you want to shake them. Figuratively speaking."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"The reason we have performance anxiety when speaking is that we focus more on our performance than our audience."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"You are to act as a servant, a waiter, serving your audience. And your message is the dish you are serving."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Our biggest problem when speaking – mine and yours, is that we seek the praise of men rather than the glory of God."</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"When we are called upon to speak in public, we are there to add value to others, but we anguish over how our own value may be affected in the process."</span></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">"Ultimately, our fear of public speaking is because we have “</span><b>I”</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> troubles.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"There are plenty of other platforms to tell a story or share ideas, and not all should be in book format. These should be considered carefully before you opt on book writing."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"If you’re in it for the money, you might be disappointed. A book, by itself, will rarely make you rich."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"I believe that writing a book is something better done with altruistic motives than with profit in mind."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Don’t write a book because it’s the popular thing to do as an entrepreneur. Write a book because you have a burning message to tell that could set the world on fire."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"You might be knowledgeable in your field. But, do you have enough knowledge to pack into a 200 page book?"</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Maybe you do have a book in you, but is it ready to come out just yet?"</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"If you have no books at home, don’t particularly enjoy reading, and have no real appreciation for books in general – allow me to be straightforward: <em>You should probably find another platform to tell your message."</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Writing a book in the non-fiction realm is a lot like a PhD dissertation. It requires a BIG idea to be explored at length."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"The first few weeks of a book are crucial in determining its future success."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"I believed, and still do, that my book can change lives. So, I marketed like crazy that first year."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Marketing a book is not like it used to be. Publishers don’t do much unless they know it will provide an insane ROI. So, that means it’s up to you."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"You can only write a life-changing book if you are willing to change your own life first."</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great." - Zig Ziglar</p>

They are the plague of the Entrepreneur. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They come to you under all kinds of guises: emails, screaming toddlers, phone calls, social media; and they even come to you disguised as good things such as church ministry, interesting offers, or palpitating events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do you, as an Entrepreneur, learn to sift through all of these and determine what is worthy of your attention? How do you determine what should shift your focus?  How do you manage your life in such a way as to prioritize what is important over what is urgent? And most of all... how can you develop the inner fortitude to say &apos;NO&apos; without feeling guilty?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this Episode, we will look at all of the above and then some as we give you four proven strategies to prioritize your Life and Business. Your Success depends on it!&lt;br /&gt;

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That’s the intangible leader summed up.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Do you have one on your team? Someone with great qualities, but who seems to fall short in the numbers category?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In today’s episode, we want to help you to identify those intangible leaders around you or on your team, because failure to do so will eventually hurt your team, your organization, your leadership, and your legacy as a leader.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First of all, the intangible leader is not about the obvious stuff you can put on a spreadsheet. His contributions are NOT quantifiable. Let me repeat that: The intangible leader’s contributions are not quantifiable. So, he’s not about:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The Greatest Results</li>
<li>The Greatest Numbers</li>
<li>The Most Sales</li>
</ul><br/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>That said, this can make him hard to identify on any given team or among your employees.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, his contributions go far beyond what you can readily see and observe. As an entrepreneur, business owner, and leader, it is your duty to identify and build up those under-the-radar and potentially transformational leaders.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the world of leadership, we are taught that true leaders bring results, period. We are taught that leadership brings quantifiable results: more wins, more sales, more followers, etc.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>But you have to learn to see farther than numbers if you are going to build a legacy...</p>

With the theory of multiple intelligences, Howard Gardner revolutionized the field of Quantitative Intelligence (I.Q.) when his theory (and book) was released in 1983.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, if you&apos;ve never heard of the theory of multiple intelligences, get ready for a personal growth treat! After listening to this episode of The Thriving on Purpose Podcast, you&apos;ll inevitably reach two conclusions: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1- You&apos;re smarter than you thought&lt;br /&gt;
2- Others are not as dumb as you thought&lt;br /&gt;
Either way, this is a win-win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, dear fellow Christian Entrepreneur, make sure you download your FREE RESOURCE that goes with this teaching, you can use these teaching notes to teach others and you&apos;ll also get the link  to do the FREE Multiple Intelligences Test!&lt;br /&gt;</itunes:summary><itunes:author>Elisabeth and Sebastien Richard</itunes:author></item><item><title>Episode 9: How to Find Your Purpose</title><itunes:title>Episode 9: How to Find Your Purpose</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<h2 class="ql-align-center">The 4 Key Questions that Will Unlock Your Destiny</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This week’s <em>Thriving on Purpose Podcast</em> Episode is going to be about this most important question: <strong>How to Find Your Purpose</strong><strong>.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Of course, with a name like <strong><em>Thriving on Purpose</em></strong>, this was not only inevitable but also necessary for us to address.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Many, many entrepreneurs, even many of whom are very successful often ask this very question…</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3><strong><em>How do I find my purpose?</em></strong></h3><p>Sometimes, it shocks us.

&lt;br /&gt;
We strongly believe the main cause of most of these failures is usually not the a bad product, inadequate marketing, or lack of funds – although these do come into play. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our contention is that the most common reason for these business failures is: ... the leadership of the individual entrepreneur. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything rises and falls on leadership. And as we will see in this episode... that&apos;s especially true of your small business.&lt;br /&gt;

<p>Have you ever heard this popular definition of Church:</p>
<p><em>"Church is a nice place where nice people gather every week to hear a nice sermon by a nice man teaching them how to be nicer to one another."</em></p>

I thought being nice was the equivalent of being godly; of being like Jesus. As a result I was stuck in the friends zone, couldn&apos;t get a date. Thank God I grew out of it! Mostly out of necessity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 In this episode, we explain the differences between a &quot;Nice Guy&quot; and a &quot;Good Man&quot;. It&apos;s important to know the difference to have a strong marriage. Find out what God expects of us, as men.&lt;br /&gt;

In this episode of The Thriving on Purpose Podcast, we debunk the myth that Spiritual Development is all you need as a believer. As you will see, Spiritual Development and Personal Development are not at odds with one another but work together to make believers reach their highest potential for God&apos;s glory.

Although leadership experts can agree on what makes for good leadership in the larger sense, the number of characteristics deemed as necessary for it can vary greatly.

So, depending on how general or detailed you choose to analyze leadership, the numbers will vary. That’s because leadership defies a permanent and static definition – it cannot be boxed. It’s always recognized by people when they witness it, but the varying styles of influences which makes it up can make it hard to pin down. It’s a bit like trying to predict the weather.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a Christian, and even more so as a Christian Entrepreneur, chances are you have been to God’s Bootcamp – maybe more than once. Maybe you are in it right now. If so, you’ll love this first episode of <em>The Thriving on Purpose Podcast</em>! You see, God’s Bootcamp is the training grounds where God preps us by teaching us and getting us ready for fulfilling our mission in life. What sucks about God’s boot camp is that it can be extremely grueling and full of hardships. What’s great about it is that you can’t imagine your life without it… once you’ve been through it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn from the life of Moses and how his 40 year-long Bootcamp was necessary for his exceptional mission.</li>
<li>Learn how you are molded through your own Bootcamp to become the person you are meant to be.</li>
<li>Learn how Elisabeth and Sebastien’s lives were transformed through their particular Bootcamp.</li>
