BH2O ((be.hope.2.her))

Jarrett — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:19:14 +0000

Some of our favorite people in the world Doug and Nicole Scott work for an incredible International Organization called NURU.

Nuru is relentlessly focused on solving the Water Problems that currently plague the Developing Third World.

They just kicked off an new Experience called BH2O – Be Hope To Her, where on April 23 you can experience a small taste of what it must be like to live in a world absent of easily accessible water.

I strongly encourage you to get involved however you can…for your own good…and for hers.

You can learn more about BH2O HERE // And about NURU HERE.

Yesterday with Andy and Craig (part.three)

Here are some thoughts from Craig Groeschel’s second talk on Personal Spiritual Momentum.

Craig shared this phenominal quote from Hybels that wrecked his life years ago,

The way I was doing the work of God was destroying the work of God in me. – Bill Hybels

Craig asked the question :: What can I do TODAY to create a heart open to God that allows me to live with Sustained Spiritual Momentum?

1) I will do Today, what I CAN do to enable me to do Tomorrow what I can’t do Today

:: Do something to defeat your darkside (what is your darkside?)

2) Create ARTIFICIAL ministry deadlines

:: Prioritize your Ministries around YOUR Priorities

3) Delegate what someone else can do

:: Don’t delegate responsibilities. Delegate AUTHORITY
- Delegating Responsibilities creates followers and dependency // Delegating AUTHORITY creates Leaders

4) Do something that only YOU can do

:: I’m the only one who can take time off and Sabbath
:: I’m the only one who can be a Husband to Jeanne and Father to our Kids
:: I’m the only one who can GET Broken and STAY broken

I definitely resonate with the idea of doing what ONLY I can do. No one else is going to tell me to stop. No one else is going to tell me to go home. No one else is going to tell me to put my family first. Only I can do that.

Your Turn :: Which of these is most challenging for your Spiritual Momentum?

We may have elected the Wrong President

First off, hello to all my conservative friends who are checking this blog out for the first time.

I found this clip a while back and thought that given our current Armegedon-esque National Chaos, maybe we missed the boat all together in this last election. Forget the Republican Party. Forget the Democratic Party. What our nation really needs is a House Partayyyy!!!!

Beside being one of my top 10 MC’s of all time, President Elect Mos Def has some brilliant ideas for what our country needs to get back on our feet and get fly.

Enjoy.

Your Turn :: If we could have any NON-POLITICIAN as President right now, Who would you want and Why?

five minutes with Dr. Cornel West

Jarrett — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 20:00:11 +0000

(This was clearly recorded on some dude’s VCR, but the goodness still comes through.)

As always, Dr. West says a lot, but what he has to say about the difference between Success and Greatness speaks powerfully to those of us who might be involved in Big and Successful things for God.

Dr. Cornel West is the Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton University and one of the most Powerful Christian Voices we have…that harldy any of my friends have ever heard of.

To learn more about him go here.
