Dinner and a Bible, aka the funny things my kids say in front of Jesus.

We match what Jesus says is a joyful life and we match it with Forbes Magazines article.

We discuss a pretty well connected series of scriptures for Sunday. Then the kids became…teens.

Teens have this issue. Including myself when I was teen. In the end, Warren Buffet had it right and Jesus showed it works 2000 years before the Inc article was even written.

Interesting. It reveals where my daughter is. The lack of confidence and it “okay” to be dumb. Annoying how this digital age causes trolls to dictate who is okay or not.

We discuss counting the cost and wisdom.

The digital age brings a new addiction an it’s troubling.

We discuss why grief is a good sign. You know who couldn’t grieve? Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Dahmer.

Bring happiness to someone (smile and say hello) and they do the same. Even if you are indeed sad, the person smiling back at your kind words helps your own sadness go away.

We discuss teen angst, parental doubts, and what soldiers know to be true.

My daughter said I should name this Orangecicle with a side of “who are you to sit there?”

Meeting and understanding people is a precarious set of rules. First and last impressions, labels, and unfair accusations can falsely tag a person for a long time.

We discuss with the kids the Solomon wisdom of camaraderie. It’s very accurate. Hope you enjoy this episode.

Businesses that stay stubborn even after a revelation will walk a death march to bankruptcy. Plan a successful change, be passionate about the change, and execute with faith.

We read a story about an important item for most women. Bearing a child. She made a promise and even though it was painful, she went through with it.

We talk about Samuel and his older brothers. Why didn’t they all become blessed instead of two being sentenced to death by God himself?

Inc magazine and the Bible have the same process formula. A little faith, a lot of work in prep and learning.

The Jews of old had a basic understanding that only they were saved. From the old to the new, the message was that all that obeyed, born Jews or not, will be the sheep Jesus recognizes as his own. Yes, sheep. The Bible doesn’t say Jesus will recognize lions versus goats. Arrogance in today’s Christian’s is also ignorant talks of walking like lions for the lord. Who shepherd’s lions?

Theme is be a servant. Kids did a great job. Hear for yourself.

The Bible and psychologist agree, do something to remove negative emotions. Anything positive and anything that allows a person to be active.

Jesus told us how and what happiness is but we don’t like the answer. Our brain actually has two thoughts that are recurring issues to elude happiness.

Tough connection between the three scriptures. Let’s see if the audience is able to connect it.

A long dinner but a good one. Leadership is rare, great leadership is almost extinct. The devil really knows how to throw a wrench in the works. Don’t let hardships stop you from learning leadership. Either as an observer or the forced leader based on what’s right and compliant.

Kids lessons and it’s tough being a kid. We sometimes forget. Like how scary driving is your first time. After 45 years behind the wheel, I can barely remember the first week I drove and how scared I was.

We discuss worldly success and how God has instructions on what that means as a Christian.

We need encouragement from within our home. There is enough discouraging words outside of our house.
