Upward Together Podcast

The guys invite you to take some time to reflect about what it means that God inserted Himself into your story of leadership and faith. Luke 2 tells us that Mary pondered and treasured what God was up to. They think it would be a good for you as well.

When we say ‘yes’ to God’s invitation to live for Him we can be sure the circumstances of life will rarely go as we anticipate. Look at what happens to Mary & Joe at the time of Jesus’ birth. The guys suggest an adventurous spirit will be helpful at times…

The guys ask: How might it impact your encounters this holiday season if you entered them expecting God to do something amazing both practically and spiritually? Careful.. God might surprise you with how He chooses to show up!

What might it take and look like in your life during this busy holiday season to be generous with what you are good at – with your super power that God has given you to influence others for Jesus? This is being generous with what is truly valuable.

The holiday season seems to be a time that magnifies our inner reality – whether great joy or deep sorrow and pain. Yet we have the privilege of speaking life to all those we encounter this season. The guys suggest ways to be filled with grace to give grace.

Practicing gratitude is a powerful tool to help us live the life of influence we leaders seek to have. Dave & Chris remind you of some of God’s ‘why’s’ and suggest simple practices to improve your gratitude game.
