There is a notion, by some,that people need to be happy when bad things happen to evil people. Proverbs 24:16 - "Even if good people fall seven times, they will get back up."  Intense consistency is a characteristic that the best of the best seem to develop in themselves. Hebrews 12:1 - "Let us run with determination the race that lies before us."  Even when Paul was in prison he still had a “GAME ON” attitude! Our competitors are often our greatest benefactors. He that wrestles with us strengthens our muscles and sharpens our skills. “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” Arthur C. Clark   What if, what you believe is impossible…out of the question..really IS NOT!

Some of what I share, in the sermon is: People are highly motivated by the thought that they might lose out on something. When humans don't have enough of something, that fact dominates our consciousness….or the perceived lack of something. Greed shows up when there’s an assumption of lack…or scarcity.   Scarcity, mostly, is an illusion in a religious sense. Michael Neill - The scarcer the resource, the more we are willing to give up in order to get it; the more common the resource, the less we are willing to give up in order to get it. The FEAR of not having enough is a critical form of leverage to settle for less than God’s best. I share an interesting twist on the story of the "Three Little Pigs."

How many times have you been faced, not in such a dramatic way as in this story, an opportunity that you forfeited because you were afraid of what was behind the “door?” Jesus had a CHOICE. To face the fear (TERROR) or fulfill his destiny. These days, there are excuses that many people USE to run from what they are supposed to do in life. 1. It’s too late for me.   2. I’m not good enough. Seth Godin: “What we need to do is say, “What’s the smallest, tiniest thing that I can master and what’s the scariest thing I can do in front of the smallest number of people that can teach me how to dance with the fear?” Once we get good at that, we just realize that it’s not fatal. And it’s not intellectually realize – we’ve lived something that wasn’t fatal. And that idea is what’s so key — because then you can do it a little bit more.”  “If you RUN after your destiny, you'll escape your history!” T. D. Jakes The fear of falling on your face has kept MILLIONS of people from going back and facing their destiny and their fears!

For some of us being “STRETCHED” to consider embracing a new idea or new opportunities tend to be terrifying! Faith always means risk. Everything in life is a risk. Ecclesiastes 10:8 says, “When you work in a quarry, stones might fall and crush you! When you chop wood, there is danger with each stroke of your ax! Such are the risks of life” (NLT). The idea of the comfort zone goes back to a classic experiment in psychology. Back in 1908, psychologists Robert M. Yerkes and John D. Dodson explained that a state of relative comfort created a steady level of performance In order to maximize performance, however, we need a state of relative anxiety—a space where our stress levels are slightly higher than normal. This space is called "Optimal Anxiety," and it's just outside our comfort zone. Too much anxiety and we're too stressed to be productive, and our performance drops off sharply.  I've been honored to be Pastorr, since 1994, of Faith Outreach Chapel 1713 Rittenhouse Avenue Baltimore MD 21227 00:47:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoOut of my league,Church,John Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,SermonHave you ever felt like you were over your head?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/07/13/john-carver-show--land-on-your-feetSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/07/13/john-carver-show--land-on-your-feet/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/07/13/john-carver-show--land-on-your-feetWed, 13 Jul 2016 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Land on your FeetLife is full of twists and turns and, sometimes, there’s a tendency to fall flat on your face.

The theme is about how King David, in the Bible, was supposed to be at war with his soldiers. Instead he stayed behind, had sex with another man's wife then had the woman's husband killed to cover his tracks. The story is found in 2 Samuel chapter 11 in the Old Testament of the Bible. It's a really long story and I didn't have time to get into all of it including the "rated R" stuff. The bigger picture of this sermon is that you and I should be doing what we are supposed to do which will reduce the chances of giving into temptation.

Carver, Jr (almost 72 years old) shared a sermon called "Do It." The sermon is targeted toward the Christian community. My father comes from the Pentecostal group of the Christian faith so you will hear many phrases, typically, shared in that demographic. In his sermon he shares that some things just don't make sense. He shares Bible scriptures from: Judges 7 Acts 9 2 Kings 4:1-7 John 2 Jeremiah 18  He shares several stories of how he was challenged to make changes in his life when it did not seem to make sense at the time.

The theme is how many of us miss opportunities to lead when we ignore the needs of people all around us.  Here is a little of what you will hear on this show: There is a consistent pattern between Leaders and Followers.  This is the theme of today. I Believe Leaders see what followers don’t see…yet! Leaders see what’s ahead and makes ethical decisions accordingly. New Living Translation But Samuel replied, "What is more pleasing to the LORD: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.   In other words, doing the right thing is better than trying to repair a mess up. During the Nazi occupation of his country in WWII, King Christian X of Denmark noticed a Nazi flag flying over a Danish public building. He immediately called the German commandant, demanding that the flag be taken down at once. The commandant refused. "Then a soldier will go and take it down." said the king. "He will be shot," threatened the commandant. "I think not," replied the king, "for I shall be the soldier." Within minutes the flag was taken down. Today in the Word, August, 1991, p. 13. Leaders see what most of us cannot imagine.  "The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality." Leaders need to have a good picture of what is really going on around them. And they need to help others take an honest look at this reality." Richard J. Mouw, Uncommon Decency, p. 117.

One of the earliest “systems” that changed a culture is in the Bible in the book of Exodus: Exodus 20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) There are more than 600 WRITTEN laws, from the Old Testament, that SHAPED A CULTURE for thousands of years. These laws were read and repeated, daily, throughout the culture.  Systems were created to magnify the laws. There seems to be a connection to “written rules” that are repeated over and over again that changes cultures. The WRONG systems will devastate cultures.

Sometimes it’s just impossible to describe the emotional pain that you feel. Mark 5 (NASB) 21 When Jesus had crossed over again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him; and so He stayed by the seashore. 22 One of the synagogue officials named Jairus *came up, and on seeing Him, *fell at His feet   23 and *implored Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live.” 24 And He went off with him; and a large crowd was following Him and pressing in on Him. Desperation makes us reprioritize our feelings.  Desperation can place you in the deepest cave. God’s delays are not God’s denials. Robert H. Schuller  Angela Watson says, “When things go smoothly, that's my plan. When there are interruptions that I didn't forsee or even want, that's God's plan. He willed or allowed those things to happen. To fight them is to fight His permissive will. So, getting irritated or trying not to have interruptions is missing out on the joy of being part of God's plan. Interruptions allow us to bless someone else.  John Carver Faith Outreach Chapel P O BOX 39 Manchester MD 21102 john@johnwcarver.com   00:43:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn CarverLife doesn't move in straight lines!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/05/23/john-carver-show--mindful-of-the-currentSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/05/23/john-carver-show--mindful-of-the-current/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/05/23/john-carver-show--mindful-of-the-currentMon, 23 May 2016 19:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Mindful of the CurrentThis is a sermon I shared yesterday (May 22, 2016) at our church (Faith Outreach Chapel) in Baltimore Maryland.  Some of what I shared includes: I can remember, years ago, that we used to go to Rock State Park in Bel Air Maryland.  There were times when the water was calm (in the stream) while other times the current would knock me off my feet. The older I get the more I have come to learn that you and I are more in control of how we create our  “flow”…our “current” that I realized as a young person. In addition I have noticed that not too many people realize that they can control, to some extent, the “current/flow” in their own lives. Hebrews 12New American Standard Bible (NASB) 12 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 [a]fixing our eyes on Jesus, the [b]author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. This part of being proactive in US removing what’s getting in the way jumps out at me. The tendency, for many people, is to REACT versus being proactive in life. 00:48:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoFaith Outreach Chapel,John Carver,Church,SermonWe are in charge, for the most, part of how we respond to life's struggles.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/05/05/harmless-but-not-stupidSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/05/05/harmless-but-not-stupid/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/05/05/harmless-but-not-stupidThu, 05 May 2016 14:00:00 GMTHarmless but NOT STUPIDAutomaker Henry Ford asked electrical genius Charlie Steinmetz to build the generators for his factory. One day the generators ground to a halt, and the repairmen couldn't find the problem.  So Ford called Steinmetz, who tinkered with the machines for a few hours and then threw the switch. The generators whirred to life--but Ford got a bill for $10,000 from Steinmetz.  Flabbergasted, the rather tightfisted car maker inquired why the bill was so high. Steinmetz's reply: For tinkering with the  generators, $10. For knowing where to tinker, $9,990. Ford paid the bill.  Today in the Word, MBI, April 1990, p. 27. There are times when being the LOUDEST is not the way to impact people in your life. I believe the majority of people meander through life with no direction and no clue how to handle many of life’s struggles. If you leverage those struggles they can teach you HOW to respond to most things in life. There are times when the temptation to respond in the wrong way can be overwhelming. Matthew 10:16 –  The Message paraphrase puts it this way: 16 “Stay alert. This is hazardous work I’m assigning you. You’re going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don’t call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as a dove. 00:59:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoFaith Outreach Chapel,John Carver,ChristianityJesus taught how to deal with some people in life.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/04/25/john-carver-show--weapons-of-our-warfareSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/04/25/john-carver-show--weapons-of-our-warfare/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/04/25/john-carver-show--weapons-of-our-warfareMon, 25 Apr 2016 17:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Weapons of Our WarfareThis is a sermon I shared on April 24, 2016 while my youngest daughter, Juliana, was at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore Maryland for a bone marrow transplant.  Some of what I share, in this sermon, includes: There have been MANY Ancient weapons that have been used over the centuries. Land mines are explosive devices planted in the ground, and have been used in conflicts all over the world. During the Mongol invasion of China in the 13th century, Chinese inventors came up with the “Underground Sky Soaring Thunder”, a land mine so terrifyingly titled, it’s name alone should’ve been enough to force armies into retreat. The tenth century fire lance (or lightweight hand cannon) fired shrapnel at the enemy from a long bronze or iron tube small enough to be carried by a soldier. There were psychological attempts at warfare like those used by Sun Tzu (The Art of War): “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” 2 Corinthians 10 - New Living Translation (NLT) Strategic warfare does not happen by accident.  Life has a way of attacking you and trying to stop you in your track by design.

C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain Philippians 3:10 "[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him…understanding the wonders of His person more strongly and more clearly]…" (AMP). In the frigid waters around Greenland are countless icebergs, some little and some gigantic. If you’d observe them carefully, you’d notice that sometimes the small ice floes move in one direction while their massive counterparts flow in another. The explanation is simple. Surface winds drive the little ones, whereas the huge masses of ice are carried along by deep ocean currents. When we face trials and tragedies, it’s helpful to see our lives as being subject to two forces—surface winds and ocean currents. The winds represent everything changeable, unpredictable, and distressing. But operating simultaneously with these gusts and gales is another force that’s even more powerful. It is the sure movement of God’s wise and sovereign purposes, the deep flow of His unchanging love. to “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[e] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. 00:52:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoFaith Outreach Chapel,John Carver,GodI still don't get it...fully.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/04/03/john-carver-show--skip-the-rest-stop-sometimesSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/04/03/john-carver-show--skip-the-rest-stop-sometimes/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/04/03/john-carver-show--skip-the-rest-stop-sometimesSun, 03 Apr 2016 18:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Skip the Rest Stop SometimesThis is from a sermon I shared on April 3, 2016.  Some of what I shared is: Opportunities can be missed very easily. Groupon's Andrew Mason turned down a $6 billion offer from Google Andrew Mason turned down a $6 billion buyout offer from Google. Instead, he opted to take Groupon public. The IPO raised $700 million, and the company was briefly valued at more than $12 billion. But the stock promptly tanked after Groupon missed earnings forecasts and struggled with its accounting and in 2013, Mason was fired. Today shares are trading under $8 and the company has a market cap of about $5 billion. Source: Information found in National Geographic, May 2001. Marco Polo is one of the most famed explorers of history. It seems he inherited the travel bug from his father. In 1260, when Marco polo was 6, his father and uncle traveled to Mongolia (part of modern day China). When they arrived there the Mongol emperor revealed an interest in Christianity. He asked the brothers to take a letter to the Pope requesting as many as 100 wise men to spread the Gospel among his subjects. Three years later the brothers arrived home, and two years later set out on their return trek. Did they take the 100 wise men with them? No. Just two friars, for this was all the church felt they could spare. And even those two didn’t make it, turning back shortly into their journey. What a tragedy! Imagine if the Kublai’s request had been fulfilled. Perhaps the whole history of China may have been changed. So, Elisha followed/served Elijah for quite a while. This is a story of being given an opportunity to REST (“STAY HERE”) instead of continuing to keep moving forward. 2 Kings 2:1-14 - Parts of a story about Elijah and Elisha.   00:59:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach ChapelThere are times when it's tempting to take breaks way too often.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/30/john-carver-show--theres-more-left-in-your-tubeSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/30/john-carver-show--theres-more-left-in-your-tube/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/30/john-carver-show--theres-more-left-in-your-tubeWed, 30 Mar 2016 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - There's More Left in Your Tube!!I started the John Carver Show as a way to share information that can help you keep moving forward in your life.  I have to admit some of the shows are a reminder to me to keep going even when I wanted to quit and give up.  This is one of those shows.  It's a reminder to me...and I bet to you too.  I hope this show gives you encouragement and a new "second wind" to keep going!!   John Carver www.johnwcarver.com john@johnwcarver.com   00:14:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Angels for Juliana,Juliana Carver,Courage,MometumYou have more in you that you realize!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/20/john-carver-show--filling-in-the-wrong-blanksSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/20/john-carver-show--filling-in-the-wrong-blanks/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/20/john-carver-show--filling-in-the-wrong-blanksSun, 20 Mar 2016 18:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Filling in the Wrong BlanksThis is a sermon I shared on March 20, 2016.  Some of what I shared includes: Most of the time we hear or see something and our minds fill in the blanks for fill in the,  supposed, details. Today, I want to share 4 stories from the Bible that warn us about assuming too much. “Making assumptions simply means believing things are a certain way with little or no evidence that shows you are correct.” Lemony Snicket, The Austere Academy What if what’s possible makes no sense at all? The problem, with most people, is they start out in life with a clean sheet of paper and then “life” happens. John 6:5-7 When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.” (NRSV) “Advances are made by answering questions. Discoveries are made by questioning answers.” Bernard Haisch? Philip Houston   Most of the time we hear or see something and our minds fill in the blanks for fill in the, supposed, details. You are I assume so much about some people that we can’t see past the assumptions.   Rahab knew of the reputation of God and she knew to treat these men with respect.  How could have the spies knew that about Rahab that she would help them????

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.” – Robert A. Heinlein “No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.” – Elbert Hubbard Building a high school for molding female achievers in Kenya with a focus on life skills. Benard Didacus Opiyo uradi school Location: Uradi Village, Kenya-Siaya, Africa Why and How Ben is Making an Impact: The idea first came to me while talking with a close friend towards the end of 2008. We were discussing education trends in this remote village in Kenya. It was not pleasing, the poverty index is high, there is a high percentage of school dropouts and those who finish, only a minute fraction make it to the university. The situation of girls is even more dire due to early pregnancies and some lingering cultural perception that it is not worth spending a lot of funds educating girls. Something had to be done. It took the audacious step of beginning a school to change the trend. Out of this talk and some hard work we founded Uradi Girls High School with the motto of Moulding Achievers. We established it in 2010 and already have 98 girls! The whole design of the school when completed should be able to house 360 girls. The work continues! Our goal is to successfully keep the students in school no matter the challenges, and help them through university so that in 10-15 years time they are able to mentor others in this school and later be fruitful people in the business world, family and politics. http://liveyourlegend.net/10-surprising-case-studies-of-ordinary-people-doing-the-impossible-lyl-reader-spotlight/ John 20 New American Standard Bible (NASB) I share much more in this sermon! 00:49:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoFaith Outreach Chapel,John CarverWhat seems to be impossible could be possible.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/16/john-carver-show--a-lesson-for-survivalSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/16/john-carver-show--a-lesson-for-survival/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/16/john-carver-show--a-lesson-for-survivalWed, 16 Mar 2016 20:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - A Lesson for SurvivalOur stress comes because we are not in the moment but rather worried about the future implications of our choices. There have been countless people, for centuries, who have gotten “stuck” when faced with opportunities because they are worried about the (potential) negative implications of their actions. Analysis paralysis or paralysis by analysis is an anti-pattern, the state of over-analyzing (or over-thinking) a situation so that a decision or action is never taken, in effect paralyzing the outcome. "Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful." Mark Victor Hansen "Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don't let these feelings stop them." T. Harv Eker "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy."

Some of what I shared includes: Nothing, GREAT, happens unless there is follow through… No degree is earned… No Weight loss goal achieved… No Book read… No Book written… No Song recorded… No Building built… Or anything else in life until there is follow through. Our Daily Bread shared: The story is told that Andrew Jackson's boyhood friends just couldn't understand how he became a famous general and then the President of the United States. They knew of other men who had greater talent but who never succeeded. One of Jackson's friends said, "Why, Jim Brown, who lived right down the pike from Jackson, was not only smarter but he could throw Andy three times out of four in a wrestling match. But look where Andy is now." Another friend responded, "How did there happen to be a fourth time? Didn't they usually say three times and out?" "Sure, they were supposed to, but not Andy. He would never admit he was beat -- he would never stay 'throwed.' Jim Brown would get tired, and on the fourth try Andrew Jackson would throw him and be the winner." Picking up on that idea, someone has said, "The thing that counts is not how many times you are 'throwed,' but whether you are willing to stay 'throwed'." We may face setbacks, but we must take courage and go forward in faith. Then, through the Holy Spirit's power we can be the eventual victor over sin and the world. The battle is the Lord's, so there is no excuse for us to stay "throwed"!  I have been Pastor of Faith Outreach Chapel (1713 Rittenhouse Avenue Baltimore MD 21227) since 1994.  If you would like more information please go to www.johnwcarver.com 00:49:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoFaith Outreach Chapel,John Carver,Don't quit,Keep GoingMany people stop moving forward in the middle of their difficulties.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/03/john-carver-show--before-the-big-timeSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/03/john-carver-show--before-the-big-time/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/03/03/john-carver-show--before-the-big-timeThu, 03 Mar 2016 19:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Before the BIG TIME!Have you ever looked at famous people and forgotten what it was like before they became famous?   Mariah Carey: Salon Assistant Before hitting her high notes, Mariah Carey was down low – sweeping hair from a salon floor. It’s pretty hard to imagine her doing any kind of labor and she sure didn’t enjoy it. “It was the pits working in a salon, sweeping up hair,” she said about her worst job. Jim Carrey: Janitor The Canadian born comedian and actor dropped out of high school when he was 15 to work as a janitor to help support his family.  In a commencement speech he gave at Maharishi University of Management, Carrey spoke about his time supporting his family and lessons learned from his father. He said “you can fail at something you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance doing what you love.”     Nehemiah’s faithfulness as the cup-bearer and the courage to speak up allowed him an opportunity to changed history…to be in charge of rebuilding the outer walls of Jerusalem. Luke 16:10 says (NLT) - New Living Translation "If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won't be honest with greater responsibilities. Rick Warren said, “You will never arrive at the state in life where you’re too important to help with menial tasks. God will never exempt you from the mundane. It’s a vital part of your character curriculum. The Bible says, “If you think you are too important to help someone in need, you are only fooling yourself.

We were all given,earned and taught things that can help other people.  Some of what I share includes: I remember some people congratulating my camera for taking a good photograph.  They forget it’s the person using the camera as a tool to take a good photograph. Often times, people get a “big head” (stuck up) when their gift, used by God, gets attention. SHARE RADIO SHOW AND BLOG NUMBERS – IT WASN’T MY IDEA TO START EITHER OF THEM.  HOW CAN I TAKE CREDIT…I WILL NOT. Jesus, also, understood that he was a Gift to the world.  I will come back to that thought later. So often people forget the gifts that others have given them. Sometimes I forget that my mother was given a heart.  I am, POSITIVE, the family of the gift giver has NEVER forgotten.

This show seems like the total opposite of "Pray then What?"  Some of what I share includes: Psalms 27:1 The LORD is my light and my  salvation;  whom shall I fear?  The LORD is the stronghold of my life;  of whom shall I be afraid? Often times, you and I (and the people in our lives), believe that no one has ever struggled with the struggles that we’re struggling. In A View from the Zoo, Gary Richmond tells about the birth of a giraffe: The first things to emerge are the baby giraffe’s front hooves and head. A few minutes later the plucky newborn is hurled forth, falls ten feet, and lands on its back. Within seconds, he rolls to an upright position with his legs tucked under his body. From this position he considers the world for the first time and shakes himself. The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she positions herself directly over the calf. She waits for about a minute, then she does the most unreasonable thing. She swings her long, pendulous leg outward and kicks her baby, so that it is sent sprawling head over heels. When it doesn’t get up, the violent process is repeated over and over again. The struggle to rise is momentous. As the baby calf grows tired, the mother kicks it again to stimulate its efforts....Finally, the calf stands for the first time on its wobbly legs. Then the mother giraffe does the most remarkable thing. She kicks it off its feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up! LIFE is all about getting knocked down in order to remember to get back up.   00:53:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoFaith Outreach Chapel,John Carver,CourageWhat happens when you have no where else to turn?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/02/07/john-carver-show--pray-then-what-this-was-very-tough-for-me-to-shareSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/02/07/john-carver-show--pray-then-what-this-was-very-tough-for-me-to-share/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/02/07/john-carver-show--pray-then-what-this-was-very-tough-for-me-to-shareSun, 07 Feb 2016 23:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Pray then What? This was VERY tough for me to share.I shared "Pray then What" with our church at Faith Outreach Chapel in Baltimore Maryland.  I wouldn't teach about prayer for YEARS because our daughter, Juliana, has been fighting cancer since 2007 and NONE of my prayers, and the prayers of thousands of people around the world have worked to cure her...so standing behind a pulpit and sharing that prayer works would mean I would have to be a hypocrite for which I am not. Some of what I shared includes: Wisdom from people much smarter than me: “Pray like it all depends on God, but work like it all depends on you.”  Dave Ramsey “The Christian should work as if all depended upon him, and pray as if it all depended upon God.”  Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Work as if everything depended upon work and pray as if everything depended upon prayer.” William Booth Toward the end of this sermon I shared a story.  I broke down in the middle of it because I felt like the little boy who is crying out for God to heal Juliana (unlock the door) and she still suffers with cancer.   00:56:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoPrayer,John Carver,Faith Outreach ChapelThis sermon I shared today was very hard.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/02/04/john-carver-show--more-than-you-thinkSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/02/04/john-carver-show--more-than-you-think/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/02/04/john-carver-show--more-than-you-thinkThu, 04 Feb 2016 22:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - More Than you ThinkThis is a sermon I shared on the importance of not thinking little of what you do for other people.  Here is some of what I shared: More than you Think “Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little.”  Edmund Burke “I’ve seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people living ordinary lives.” Tracy Chapman “I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catchers mitt on both hands.  You need to be able to throw something back.”  Maya Angelou “The great use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it.”  William James “It is the heart that does the giving; the fingers only let go.”  Nigerian saying There are some gifts that are given for one intent but received it with another intent. The wise men brought frankincense which was medicine but the Jewish people used it for religious ceremonies. There is something else that jumps out at me while I re-read this story.  The wise men offered their gifts with HUMILTY. There is so much more that I shared...please tune in and share with your friends and family. 00:42:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn CarverThose small things you do FOR people are NOT so small!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/01/29/john-carver-show--conscious-capitalism-ryan-mcshaneSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/01/29/john-carver-show--conscious-capitalism-ryan-mcshane/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/01/29/john-carver-show--conscious-capitalism-ryan-mcshaneFri, 29 Jan 2016 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Conscious Capitalism (Ryan McShane)Recently I interviewed Ryan McShane who has helped me tremendously.  Ryan opened my eyes to looking at how you can impact your workplace and your home.  Some of what he talks about is: There are four principles of Conscious Capitalism. 1. Conscious leadership Organizations mirror the actions and personality of the individual at the top. This is the kind of person people want to follow. The authentic, open person. Conscious Leaders are the ones who inspire loyalty and consistent high performance in their teams. 2. Stakeholder orientation Conscious leaders know the importance of taking into account all of their stakeholders. You’re never going to become a premium brand by only focusing on the shareholders. The really important factors for long-term business success are the employees and customers, and often the vendors and community as well. Take care of them and they will take care of you. 3. Conscious culture A values-based culture is one that is intentional about how people act and perform. When a culture is not defined and enforced, your people aren’t all moving in the same direction. Related: Can Etsy Make Money and Do Good at the Same Time? 4. Higher purpose Finally, the company should be in business to do more than just make money. Great leaders realize that in order to become successful over the long term, you must provide true value. That comes from passionate people getting inspired about their work.

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people. -Randy Pausch If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are? -T.S. Eliot I don’t run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your foot. -Nadia Comaneci Building ones strength doesn’t happen alone.  It happens through consistent resistance. “The true test of a warrior is how your 'stance' holds up after any 'circumstance'. Meaning, even after the stormiest weather, a true warrior will still reflect the brilliant rays of the magnificent sun through both his or her eyes. You may get hit by sudden lightning or take severe beatings from the cruel wind, but you will always get back up and stand strong on your feet again, soak in the sunlight, and be prepared to get hit by even the most merciless hail - time and time again.” ?

The Bible says we’re in a war “against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world.” And we can’t battle those spiritual forces that threaten to derail our lives if we’re not living with integrity. Essentially, we’re committed to taking the truth of God’s Word and applying it to all areas of our lives, such as our moral, financial, relational, and sexual lives. It’s why Paul tells us we need to put on the Belt of Truth before we go into the spiritual battles that are all around us. He says, “So stand ready, with truth as a belt tight around your waist” (Ephesians 6:14a GNT). The Belt of Truth holds up everything. Without truth, your life will fall apart, and spiritual darkness will take over. We put on our Belt of Truth by living with integrity. Integrity comes from the word “integer,” which means “unit of one.” Your life of integrity isn’t the pieces of the pie; it’s being the whole pie. 01:05:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoNot a popular subject these days.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/01/14/john-carver-show--the-willing-vs-the-waitingSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/01/14/john-carver-show--the-willing-vs-the-waiting/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2016/01/14/john-carver-show--the-willing-vs-the-waitingThu, 14 Jan 2016 17:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - The Willing Vs the WaitingInitiative is a word I rarely hear these days. “Talk does not cook rice. —Chinese proverb” in·i·ti·a·tive i'niSH(e)?div/ noun 1.the ability to assess and initiate things independently.

Everybody’s is different. Every marriage contains a unique blend of personalities, a unique history, a unique set of circumstances, a unique set of problems, and a unique set of joys. Despite the fact that every marriage is different, there are certain aspects of marriage that affect us all in the same way. There are some universal constants wired into us as people and into the nature of relationships. One of these universals is the power of expectations. As we’ll see in this session, understanding how expectations work will have a huge effect on the relationship between you and your spouse. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. How have the following affected your expectations going into marriage? With each, have you tried to copy or avoid this picture of marriage? a. What you have seen on TV b. What you have read in books or magazines c. What you have seen in other homes d.

Mother Teresa “Those who unlock your compassion are those to whom you've been assigned.” ? Mike Murdock A man was driving his car, when he saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road. He saw that she needed help. So he stopped his Pontiac near her Mercedes and got out. He smiled, while he was approaching her, still she was worried, as nobody had stopped for hours. Moreover, he did not look safe, as his appearance was so poor and shabby. He could see, how frightened she was, so he tried to calm her: „ I‘m here to help you, don‘t worry. My name is Bryan Anderson“. The tire was flat, so he had to crawl under the car. While changing the tire, he got dirty and his hands were hurt. When the job was done, she asked how much she owed him for his help. Bryan smiled. He said: „If you really want to pay me back, the next time you see someone, who needs help, give that person the needed assistance. And think of me“. At the same evening, the lady stopped by a small cafe. That place looked dingy. Then she saw a waitress, nearly eight months pregnant, wiping her wet hair with a towel. The waitress had a sweet friendly smile, although she had spent on her feet the whole day. The lady wondered how someone, who has so little, can be so kind and giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.

There’s no way around the fact that practice, practice, practice is the key. 2.  Stop the inner negative dialogue. “I can’t do this.” (Yea, I have said that too often, even while pregnant.) Our thoughts influence out actions so stop the negative self talk.  In quiet moments remind yourself — “I am the captain of my ship and the master of my fate.”  I’m not talking about ego or false pride. But you need to give yourself credit. This is especially true when you are religious, because you can feel down. 3.  “Get away from the people who tear you down.” In fact, that kind of thing can bring on the inner negative dialogue. Don’t hang with those who bring you down. Avoid negative energy. 4.  Acknowledge the good. Remember how you’re supposed to catch your kids doing good? We have a tendency to catch them doing bad. It takes work to remember to look for the good and ignore the things they didn’t do — like take out the trash. Give yourself credit for doing the good things. We all mess up but we don’t need to dwell on it.   00:18:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn CarverLearn a few tips to increase your self confidence.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/28/john-carver-show--jeff-bezos--the-real-story-of-amazoncomSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/28/john-carver-show--jeff-bezos--the-real-story-of-amazoncom/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/28/john-carver-show--jeff-bezos--the-real-story-of-amazoncomMon, 28 Dec 2015 19:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Jeff Bezos - The Real Story of Amazon.comJeff Bezos founded Amazon.com from, what was equal to, the size of a one car garage.  His parents invested some serious money while knowing they could lose it all.  Jeff persisted.  Some of what he has said, over the years, includes: 1.

William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure I chose NOT to take certain steps forward which, by default, killed what could have been achieved (born).

The highest ranking student in the class was a blind man named Overton and, when he received his honor, he insisted that half the credit should go to his friend, Kaspryzak. They had met one another in school when the armless Mr. Kaspryzak had guided the blind Mr. Overton down a flight of stairs. This acquaintance ripened into friendship and a beautiful example of interdependence. The blind man carried the books which the armless man read aloud in their common study, and thus the individual deficiency of each was compensated for by the other. After their graduation, they planned to practice law together.   5-7 That precious memory triggers another: your honest faith—and what a rich faith it is, handed down from your grandmother Lois to your mother Eunice, and now to you! And the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and prayed—keep that ablaze!

Kelly McGonigal is a health psychologist who is known for her work in the field of 'science help'—popular explication of scientific research—as it relates to achieving personal goals despite inner conflict.  Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal is a leader in the growing field of “science-help.” Through books, articles, courses and workshops, McGonigal works to help us understand and implement the latest scientific findings in psychology, neuroscience and medicine. Straddling the worlds of research and practice, McGonigal holds positions in both the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the School of Medicine. Her most recent book, The Willpower Instinct, explores the latest research on motivation, temptation and procrastination, as well as what it takes to transform habits, persevere at challenges and make a successful change. She is now researching a new book about the "upside of stress," which will look at both why stress is good for us, and what makes us good at stress. In her words: "The old understanding of stress as a unhelpful relic of our animal instincts is being replaced by the understanding that stress actually makes us socially smart -- it's what allows us to be fully human."

Let me lay a foundation of what the Bible says about terrorism (in all it’s forms): King Solomon has this to say in Proverbs 6 (NASB) There are six things which the Lord hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination [i]to Him: 17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil, 19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who [j]spreads strife among brothers. The Message Paraphrase: Here are six things God hates,     and one more that he loathes with a passion: eyes that are arrogant, a tongue that lies, hands that murder the innocent, a heart that hatches evil plots, feet that race down a wicked track, a mouth that lies under oath, a troublemaker in the family.   Terrorists invent a WHY so big some people follow it blindly without looking at the details! “Deceit, lies, manipulation and "mind-games" could be viewed as a, watered-down, version of terrorism. Fear is one of the foundations of terrorism and to shake the confidence of those they attack.”      01:00:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoIf you look at terrorism close enough the seeds of it are all around us.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/08/john-carver-show--george-lucas--how-did-he-get-to-star-warsSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/08/john-carver-show--george-lucas--how-did-he-get-to-star-wars/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/08/john-carver-show--george-lucas--how-did-he-get-to-star-warsTue, 08 Dec 2015 19:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - George Lucas - How did he get to Star Wars?I am a HUGE fan of Star Wars.  On this show I share a VERY short speech by Star Wars creator George Lucas as he describes how he reached his status in movies.  His advice can be applied in your own life.  He said joy is more important than pleasure. http://lucasfilm.com/   00:15:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,George LucasListen to George Lucas share how he got started.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/07/john-carver-show--how-to-stay-calm-daniel-levitanSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/07/john-carver-show--how-to-stay-calm-daniel-levitan/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/07/john-carver-show--how-to-stay-calm-daniel-levitanMon, 07 Dec 2015 18:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - How to Stay Calm...

Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” – Muhammad Ali Getting unstuck requires you and me to step out of what we've been “bathing in” for years and years.  In the ancient text it reads: "Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches." This was a thermal, intermittent spring, such as are still to be found at Jerusalem, possessing rare curative properties in cases of disease. "The blind, the halt, the withered," gathered round it, seeking shelter in the porches while they were awaiting "the moving of the waters." “I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool.” The man only perceived ONE WAY of being made well! 00:37:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoMany of us struggle with staying in a rut!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/03/john-carver-show--what-is-a-christian-andy-stanleySelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/03/john-carver-show--what-is-a-christian-andy-stanley/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/12/03/john-carver-show--what-is-a-christian-andy-stanleyThu, 03 Dec 2015 20:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - What is a Christian?

What you link to an experience is very important. What emotion or memory have you linked to an experience that needs to change for you to move on in life? For some, the definition they apply to their link becomes their reality. Think of my title as how a hyperlink works.  You click the hyperlink and you expect it to take you to a certain website. Here’s the kicker…you and I assign our own hyperlinks. Every “link” you have established, in your life, can be changed…by YOU! Discipline is what you must have to resist the lure of excuses” ? Brian Tracy, No Excuses!: The Power of Self-Discipline “You can make excuses or you can make progress. You choose.” ?

What emotion or memory have you linked to an experience that needs to change for you to move on in life? For some, the definition they apply to their link becomes their reality. Listen to the words of author Malcolm Gladwell from his book Blink: “Our first impressions are generated by our experiences and our environment, which means that we can change our first impressions…by changing the experiences that comprise those impressions.

Fear threatens me all the time.  I think I am not alone in this situation.  It threatens that the worst will happen and I will fail miserably. Fear has a way of making the small look big and the easy look impossible. The language of fear is always wrapped in lies and/or, at least, exaggeration.   Here’s what the temptation can be…to STOP doing what you know is the right thing to do because you’re a threat to other people. The temptation to stop can be CRAZY! Moses was a former PRINCE OF EGYPT!  Raised in wealth.  Had everything he ever wanted and, now, he’s living in the desert as a poor shepherd.

There have been times when I’ve seen many people waiting for “their ship (or fortune) to come in” or they play the lottery all the times hoping to strike it rich. I’ve seen people, “stuck,” with a problem and spend years waiting for the problem to resolve itself instead of the people resolving the problem. Too many people create a lifestyle of “meanwhile.” There is a tendency, for some of us, to assume good things will run us down and tackle us. The 5 Ps Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance Prior Planning Provides People Protection Proper Planning Provides People Protection Proper Practice Prepares Perfect Players Poor Planning Promotes Poor Performance There seems to be credibility places on proper preparation versus WAITING for good things to happen. “If you’re proactive, you don’t have to wait for circumstances or other people to create perspective expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own. – Stephen Covey I remember reading several stories about Jesus when he encouraged others to not wait around for what they want…tweak…believe…work and watch. A few weeks ago I shared Jesus was challenged with feeding 5,000 hungry people with just a few scraps of food.   There are times when you have to be proactive in leveraging what’s available to create a miracle in your life. Proactive people LOOK FOR miracles waiting to be birthed.     00:59:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,Do something,Make a DifferenceWhile you are working toward what you want in life there are some things you can do.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/11/05/john-carver-show--how-to-overcome-fear-in-your-marriageSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/11/05/john-carver-show--how-to-overcome-fear-in-your-marriage/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/11/05/john-carver-show--how-to-overcome-fear-in-your-marriageThu, 05 Nov 2015 14:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - How to Overcome Fear in your MarriageJimmy Evans shares, from a Christian perspective, how fear impacts your marriage. http://www.marriagetoday.com/     00:27:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn CarverThis is a talk by Jimmy Evans that will open your eyeshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/30/john-carver-show--i-am-the-stormSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/30/john-carver-show--i-am-the-storm/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/30/john-carver-show--i-am-the-stormFri, 30 Oct 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - I Am The StormI think many of us walk around being an umbrella….dodging the rain and the storms in our lives.  For me, it’s a constant struggle to remain on the offensive instead of the defensive.

Benjamin Franklin dropped out of school at age ten. Franklin's parents could only afford to keep him in school until his tenth birthday. That didn't stop the great man from pursuing his education. He taught himself through voracious reading, and eventually went on to invent the lightning rod and bifocals. Oh, and he became one of America's Founding Fathers.

The Temple Model is you-focused, but Jesus’ new covenant calls for a focus on the you beside you. So, what is required if we want to follow Jesus’ example and radically love the people around us? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Talk about a time this week when someone did a small act of kindness for you. What did it do for your day or your week? 2. What are some of the costs of Christians being more concerned with following rules than in the ways they mistreat others? How might it influence the way unchurched people view God? 3. During the message, Andy said, “Your devotion to God is illustrated, demonstrated, and authenticated by your love for others.” Do you agree with that statement? Why or why not? 4. Read Matthew 25:31–40. In what ways does this passage challenge your assumptions about God? What are its implications in your daily life? 5. What is one group of people that is different from you and that you find it difficult to love? Consider the words of Matthew 25:31–40 in light of that group. What are some obstacles you would have to overcome to love that group of people? 6. Think about a difficult relationship in your life. Within the context of that relationship, what does love require of you? Be specific. What can this group do to support you and hold you accountable as you move to love that person?  http://northpoint.org/messages/brand-new/what-love-requires/ 00:45:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoAndy Stanley,Love,John CarverAndy Stanley has a way to share what's really important in life.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/23/john-carver-show--a-broken-heartSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/23/john-carver-show--a-broken-heart/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/23/john-carver-show--a-broken-heartFri, 23 Oct 2015 16:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - A Broken HeartThere are so many distractions in our lives.  Some include: Money, Media, Bad Relationships, Fear, Anger, Pride, Routine among many more. Thank you to Andy Stanley for help with this sermon. The people living in the City of Jerusalem, the walls had been torn down for so long no one living there had ever lived in the city when the walls weren’t torn down and the gates weren’t burned.  NO ONE ELSE HAD THE INITIATIVE TO CHANGE THEIR OWN SITUATION!! So their entire national self esteem was tied to a city that was basically just open to anybody who wanted to come and anybody who wanted to go.  Side bar – you MUST be VERY careful who you allow to speak into your life! Nehemiah had to pull everybody off the wall, arm the men so some people would stand guard, others would work on the wall. Nehemiah Chapter 6, we find this encounter between Sanballat and Nehemiah as Sanballat tries to distract Nehemiah from the work and it’s within the context of that part of the story that we bump into this verse that really impacted our lives in a big, big way.

His story is one of resilience and redemption. At five years of age, Derek’s mother and stepfather (his biological father was in prison) abandoned him at a psychiatric facility where he was referred to the California foster care system,. Derek would spend the next thirteen years of his life, contending with rejection, humiliation, aggression, emotional distress and overwhelming anxiety. Yet through it all, Derek never gave up, and went from victim to victor by defying the artificial limitations imposed on him. Derek discovered that he had great amounts of inner wealth and made a choice to tap into it and not let his trauma driven past punish his limitless future.

There was once a grasshopper who loved life. He spent his time lazing in the sun, eating when he wanted to, sleeping when he wanted to, generally enjoying himself all the time. He lived like he did not have a care in the world. One day as he was sun-bathing, he saw an ant pushing a bread crumb across the ground. The grasshopper asked, "Hey brother! What are you doing?" The ant replied, "I am gathering food for the winter while the weather is still warm. Once winter sets in, I am going to stay home and just eat from my stock of food." The grasshopper made fun of the ant's dull life and went on sun bathing saying, "There's enough time for such boring work. You should take time to have fun like me." Soon the summer passed and the winter started to set in. As the weather became colder, it became harder for the grasshopper to get out. However, he soon started to feel hungry. He decided to brave the weather and find himself some food....   Mark 1:16 As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 19 Going on a little farther, He saw [l]James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away [m]to follow Him.

(Dr. Laura)Today's show is an interview that was done on Dr. Laura a few years ago.   Dr. Laura agrees there are things worth whining about! A certain amount of whining allows for some venting of reasonable pain, disappointment, fear, frustration, or frank rage. However, staying stuck in whining mode can become a life-long problem. This is where Dr. Laura steps in with Stop Whining, Start Living to help folks conquer the temptation to retreat from living life to the fullest. As she reveals in her introduction, "No matter what you've suffered or continue to suffer, while you are alive you have the opportunity to get something from this life, and I'm going to do my best to help you with that...I know of what I speak, as this has been my torturous journey also." Building on the principles developed during her long career as a licensed marriage and family therapist, and addressing the chronic struggles of so many of her listeners and readers, Dr. Laura issues an important message in the no-nonsense but compassionate voice that is her trademark: If you don't like your life, quit talking about your unhappiness and try to fix it, no matter how difficult or impossible your situation seems. http://www.drlaura.com/pg/jsp/community/bookdetail.jsp?detID=-547188684474069642 00:12:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoWhine,Whining,Dr. LauraWhen you find a purpose these is no time to whine.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/09/john-carver-show--unbelievable-focusSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/09/john-carver-show--unbelievable-focus/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/09/john-carver-show--unbelievable-focusFri, 09 Oct 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Unbelievable FocusI cannot get over the intensity of some people to stay focused for years and decades until they reach what they’re striving for in life. “Be on guard. The road widens, and many of the detours are seductive.” ? David Foster Wallace “Knowing the Techniques of Survival........ Life has a way of knocking you off balance and even knocking you down from time to time. There’s many verses, in the Bible, that talk about focus.   Psalm 42:1-2 - “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?”   Can you hear the desperation on the writers words? Psalm 63:1-4The Message (MSG) A David Psalm, When He Was out in the Judean Wilderness 63 God—you’re my God!     I can’t get enough of you! I’ve worked up such hunger and thirst for God,     traveling across dry and weary deserts. 2-4 So here I am in the place of worship, eyes open,     drinking in your strength and glory. In your generous love I am really living at last!     My lips brim praises like fountains. I bless you every time I take a breath;     My arms wave like banners of praise to you. Desperation, many times, causes intense focus! Washington Post (Feb 2014) - Earlier this week, fishermen near the Marshall Islands in the western Pacific found 37-year-old Jose Salvador Alvarenga adrift in a 23-foot fiberglass boat. Alvarenga had a fantastic story: He'd been lost at sea for 13 months, after setting off for a day of shark fishing near the Mexican coast where he lives, 5,500 miles away. Some have expressed skepticism about his story, but he would have been far from the first to endure such seemingly unendurable odds.   www.johnwcarver.com 00:51:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Hero,Vision,FocusListen to some ways others have struggled with staying focused.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/08/john-carver-show--sounds-of-september-11-2001Self Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/08/john-carver-show--sounds-of-september-11-2001/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/08/john-carver-show--sounds-of-september-11-2001Thu, 08 Oct 2015 11:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Sounds of September 11, 2001September 11, 2001 changed our lives forever.  I found a YouTube video, which I edited, that shares a few minutes of the sounds of September 11, 2001.  I was training a new employee in downtown Baltimore Maryland when my parents called me with the horrible news.  The purpose of this show is to remind all of us what happened on that horrible day and the people who still want to kill Americans haven't stopped... 00:15:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,September 11,September 11 2001May we never ever forgethttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/05/john-carver-show--want-to-be-happy-be-gratefulSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/05/john-carver-show--want-to-be-happy-be-grateful/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/05/john-carver-show--want-to-be-happy-be-gratefulMon, 05 Oct 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Want to be happy?

Born in Austria in 1926, Br. David came of age during the Nazi occupation. Years later, he would write of the brutality of this experience as compelling him to contemplate, "the existential situation designed to hide, to disguise, and to camouflage our confrontation with death." “The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful.”  “Look closely and you will find that people are happy because they are grateful. The opposite of gratefulness is just taking everything for granted." “Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.”        00:18:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,www.johnwcarver.com,Grateful,Gratefulness,No FearSuch a great reminder to be grateful!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/02/john-carver-show--fearlessness-happensChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/02/john-carver-show--fearlessness-happens/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/10/02/john-carver-show--fearlessness-happensFri, 02 Oct 2015 19:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Fearlessness HappensI think most of us, at some points in our lives, have been overcome with fear.

The dark Judges 6 Living Bible (TLB) (Roughly 1191 BC) 6 Then the people of Israel began once again to worship other gods, and once again the Lord let their enemies harass them. This time it was by the people of Midian, for seven years. 2 The Midianites were so cruel that the Israelis took to the mountains, living in caves and dens.  3-4 When they planted their seed, marauders from Midian, Amalek, and other neighboring nations came and destroyed their crops and plundered the countryside as far away as Gaza, leaving nothing to eat and taking away all their sheep, oxen, and donkeys. 5 These enemy hordes arrived on droves of camels too numerous to count and stayed until the land was completely stripped and devastated. 6-7 So Israel was reduced to abject poverty because of the Midianites. Then at last the people of Israel began to cry out to the Lord for help. 8 However, the Lord’s reply through the prophet he sent to them was this: “The Lord God of Israel brought you out of slavery in Egypt, 9 and rescued you from the Egyptians and from all who were cruel to you, and drove out your enemies before you, and gave you their land. 10 He told you he is the Lord your God, and you must not worship the gods of the Amorites who live around you on every side.

We’re all imperfect. There are no perfect relationships because there are no perfect people. 2. Sin disconnects us. Adam and Eve had the first broken relationship and disconnected themselves from God and from each other. We’ve been excusing ourselves and accusing the people we love ever since. 3. The more disconnected we are, the more fearful we become. We crave intimacy, but we fear vulnerability. We crave acceptance, but we fear rejection. You are a product of your relationships. Study after study shows that our identity is largely determined by what we think the most important people in our lives think of us. That’s why you should make sure that Jesus is the most important person in your life, because he will love you unconditionally. We all have different connections: some healthy, some broken, some non-existent. It’s important to have healthy connections because it plays such a large role in determining your identity. People who have healthy relationships don’t have to ask, “Does my life matter?” 01:03:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Rick Warren,RelationshipsLearn a thing or two to help you with almost every relationship.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/28/john-carver-show--failing-until-you-succeed-seth-godinSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/28/john-carver-show--failing-until-you-succeed-seth-godin/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/28/john-carver-show--failing-until-you-succeed-seth-godinMon, 28 Sep 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Failing Until You Succeed (Seth Godin)This is an interview of Seth Godin done by Bryan Elliott."  Seth says, “I made videotapes that didn’t work, books that didn’t work. My lesson was: If I fail more than you do, I win. Because built into that lesson is this notion that you get to keep playing. If you get to keep playing, that means you get to keep failing, and sooner or later, you’re going to succeed. The people who lose are really the ones who don’t fail at all and get stuck, or the ones who fail so big, they don’t get to play again.” “If you have a job with a boss, you need to think about whether your boss is asking you to do a set of tasks, because if your boss is, they’re going to try to find someone cheaper than you to do them, which is not good. Or, is your boss asking you to solve interesting problems? And if that’s the case, now you have your work cut out for you.” “Take appropriate risks — and by appropriate risks, I mean risks that that keep you in the game even if you fail.” http://dreamdolivelove.com/live-it/business-live-it/jobs-careers/seth-godin-on-failing-until-you-succeed     00:24:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Seth Godin,Failing,SuccessMost people quit before they succeed!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/25/john-carver-show--our-buttonsSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/25/john-carver-show--our-buttons/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/25/john-carver-show--our-buttonsFri, 25 Sep 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Our ButtonsToday's Show is a recording of a sermon I shared by the same title on September 20, 2015.   There are some people, in the world, who “push my buttons.” The older I get the more I realize it is ESSENTIAL to hang around the people who pull and push you FORWARD!

Find something that gets you so excited that the sun can’t come up early enough in the morning because you want to go do your thing.” “The future was uncertain, absolutely, and there were many hurdles, twists, and turns to come, but as long as I kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, the voices of fear and shame, the messages from those who wanted me to believe that I wasn't good enough, would be stilled.”  “Others may question your credentials, your papers, your degrees. Others may look for all kinds of ways to diminish your worth. But what is inside you no one can take from you or tarnish. This is your worth, who you really are, your degree that can go with you wherever you go, that you bring with you the moment you come into a room, that can't be manipulated or shaken. Without that sense of self, no amount of paper, no pedigree, and no credentials can make you legit. No matter what, you have to feel legit inside first.”  00:19:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoChris Gardner,Persuit of Happyness,John Carver,Goals,ObstaclesLearn how to overcome obstacles from a man who has overcome them!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/22/john-carver-show--muhammad-alis-wisdomSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/22/john-carver-show--muhammad-alis-wisdom/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/22/john-carver-show--muhammad-alis-wisdomTue, 22 Sep 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Muhammad Ali's WisdomThis is an OLD recording of Muhammad Ali.  He shares, in eight minutes, that you have to do GOOD THINGS in your life.  He talks about heaven and hell.  He talks about creation and so much more.  Here are some of his words that have been shared over the years. “Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.”  “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”  “I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.”  “Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn't matter which color does the hating. It's just plain wrong.”  “Don't count the days, make the days count.”  “Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”  00:14:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoWisdom,Ali,John CarverHow many years are you going to waste in your life?http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/21/john-carver-show--fear-not-andy-stanleySelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/21/john-carver-show--fear-not-andy-stanley/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/21/john-carver-show--fear-not-andy-stanleyMon, 21 Sep 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Fear Not (Andy Stanley)From Andy Stanley: During his earthly ministry, Jesus announced a new covenant, unhitched from the Old Testament. He initiated that new covenant when he died and rose from the dead. Suddenly, commandments that had sounded extreme when he gave them to his followers weren’t extreme at all. Thou shalt not fear. We all want to keep that commandment, but too often it feels impossible. There are legitimate reasons to fear some of the obstacles and setbacks in our lives. But if it were possible not to fear . . . that would change everything. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Do you tend to take risks or avoid them? How has that tendency influenced the direction of your life? 2. Have you ever known someone who missed out on opportunities because of fear? If so, what did you learn from observing that person? 3. Talk about a time when you were paralyzed by fear. What happened? 4. During the message, Andy said, “Because of Jesus, you don’t have to be afraid, even when there’s something to be afraid of.” Does that statement give you comfort? Why or why not? 5. Read Matthew 14:22–31. Talk about a time when you or someone you know pushed past fear and took a bold step to follow Jesus. How did that event affect your faith? 6. What do you fear right now? What is one practical thing you can do this week to remind yourself not to be afraid because Jesus is with you? What can this group do to support you? MOVING FORWARD What do you fear? Be specific, and then remind yourself to fear not—not because there’s nothing to fear but because Jesus is here. You don’t have to be afraid . . . even when there’s something to be afraid of.

"These are the two conditions in order to follow Jesus, hear the word of God and put it into practice. This is the Christian life, nothing more," Steven Cole shares: “A man had just put the finishing touches on a fresh concrete driveway. He went inside to enjoy a glass of lemonade when, to his horror, he saw his little neighbor boy playing in the fresh concrete. He went outside and yelled angrily at the boy. After he had fixed the concrete and come back inside, his wife said, “Why did you yell at him? I thought you loved little boys.” The man replied, “I love little boys in the abstract, but I don’t like them in the concrete.” Many Christians are like that when it comes to spiritual truth. We love it in the abstract, but we don’t like it in the concrete. When truth gets too specific, when it means that I actually need to change my life, that’s going too far! With Linus, we can echo, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!”  Believing and doing “stuff” have to go hand-in-hand for it to work. One day actor/producer Will Smith was being interviewed by 60 Minutes.  Part of what he said was: I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working. While the other guy's eatin'? I'm working…” Belief has feet!

"Intuition" is one of those good words that has gotten a bad rap. For some reason, intuition has become a "soft" notion. Garbage! Intuition is the new physics. It's an Einsteinian, seven-sense, practical way to make tough decisions. Bottom line, circa 2001 to 2010: The crazier the times are, the more important it is for leaders to develop and to trust their intuition.”  ? Tom Peters “If I read a book that cost me $20 and I get one good idea, I've gotten one of the greatest bargains of all time.”  ? Tom Peters Tom Peters has so much knowledge.  His bluntness is refreshing and educational at the same time. 00:30:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoTom Peters,John CarverThis is a short interview done with Tom Peters about Leaders!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/14/john-carver-show--think-fast-talk-smart-matt-abrahamSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/14/john-carver-show--think-fast-talk-smart-matt-abraham/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/14/john-carver-show--think-fast-talk-smart-matt-abrahamMon, 14 Sep 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Think Fast- Talk Smart (Matt Abraham)Anxiety management So let’s get started with anxiety management. 85% of people tell us that they’re nervous when speaking in public. And I think the other 15% are lying. Okay? We could create a situation where we could make them nervous too. In fact, just this past week a study from Chapman University asked Americans, what are the things you fear most? And among being caught in a surprise terrorist attack, having identity, your identity stolen, was public speaking. Among the top five was speaking in front of others. This is a ubiquitous fear, and one that I believe we can learn to manage. And I use that wordmanage very carefully because I don’t think we ever want to overcome it. Anxiety actually helps us. It gives us energy, helps us focus, tells us what we’re doing is important. But we want to learn to manage it. So I’d like to introduce you to a few techniques that can work and all of these techniques are based on academic research. But before we get there, I’d love to ask you what does it feel like when you’re sitting in the audience watching a nervous speaker present, how do you feel, just shout out a few things, how to do you feel? Uncomfortable Uncomfortable. I heard many of you going, yes, uncomfortable. It feels very awkward, doesn’t it? So what do we do? Now a couple of you probably like watching somebody suffer. Okay, but most of us don’t. So what do we do? We sit there and we nod and we smile or we disengage. And to the nervous speaker looking out at his or her audience seeing a bunch of people nodding or disengaged, that does not help. Okay. So we need to manage our anxiety.  http://www.singjupost.com/think-fast-talk-smart-communication-techniques-by-matt-abrahams-full-transcript/ http://www.nofreakingspeaking.com/ 01:02:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoMatt Abrahams,John Carver,Anxiety,Manage fear,TerrorLearn some tips on how to contact, quickly, with people.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/11/john-carver-show--10-great-powers-jim-rohnSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/11/john-carver-show--10-great-powers-jim-rohn/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/11/john-carver-show--10-great-powers-jim-rohnFri, 11 Sep 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - 10 Great Powers (Jim Rohn)The late Jim Rohn was a GREAT teacher, coach and author.  On this show I share: 1. Purpose. Learning the power of purpose. Meaning. Magnificent Obsession. Something that pulls us into the better future. This is powerful. The more powerful the purpose is, the more powerful you are being pulled into the better future. Without a purpose, it is easy to being pulled by the bad day, bad month or bad year. So, the clearer your purpose is, the more dynamic it is, you’ll have a better future. 2.  Self Confidence. It comes from not neglecting the small daily discipline. Lack of self-confidence comes from neglect. Self-confidence is willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve. Ability to rise above circumstances. Do whatever it takes. Keep on going. 3. Enthusiasm. It is a power is coming from the inside (90%) and from the outside (10%). It is coming from the purpose. It is coming from the self-confidence. It affects people. Not from being loud. It comes from the inside. It is created by genuinely helping people. A lot of it is quiet. A lot of it is unheard. 4. Expertise. One thing to excel in all of the skill. Outstanding performance. Be the best in your field. Be the best that you could possibly be. Doing that best possibly you can. Excellence in skills. 5. Preparation. Well-prepared. Big part of our lives is getting ready. It seems like long excruciating time. It takes time to get ready. Those are the decisions that will last for a lifetime. To prepare yourself for success. Ask yourself, “What can I do to make myself ready?” Life is not designed to give us what we want or need.  Life is designed to get what we deserve. Every value in life must be paid for.  PLUS MUCH MORE! 00:28:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Jim Rohn,ExpertiseLearn some of the secrets to get to the top from the late Jim Rohn!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/08/john-carver-show--fearless-like-a-child--jack-kavanaughSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/08/john-carver-show--fearless-like-a-child--jack-kavanaugh/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/08/john-carver-show--fearless-like-a-child--jack-kavanaughTue, 08 Sep 2015 13:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Fearless Like a Child - Jack KavanaughJack Kavanagh, 22 years old, suffered a spinal injury little over two years ago diving into the sea, something that he had done so many times before as a beach lifeguard and watersports enthusiast. As a result he is now paralysed from the chest down with limited use of his arms and hands, but is not let this stand in his way. He has beaten the odds thus far through determination and by making the right choices repeatedly as hard as it may be. Having returned to college little over a year after his injury, he continues to push himself both physically and mentally. His story and how he challenges himself every day has inspired many as he strives to create what he calls "a new normal" for himself and everybody around him.  Jack had just finished first year pharmacy, was a qualified lifeguard and windsurfing instructor (and fanatic), and had a future full of promise ahead of him. Now his life journey will be very different to what he originally envisaged, but he is determined to overcome the challenges and have as full and normal a life as possible. Just one year after his accident Jack started back at college. Trinity College are being very supportive in facilitating his completion of his pharmacy degree over an extended period. There are significant issues surrounding this, not least of which is the need for appropriate accommodation, 24 hour care and an assistant to help him with his lab work.  See his Facebook and Trust website below to follow his story so far. http://www.jackkavanaghtrust.com/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMvMW6YNXxI 00:17:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoCourage,John CarverWhen you hear Jack's story you will see your life very differently.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/07/john-carver-show--living-an-honest-life-francis-chanSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/07/john-carver-show--living-an-honest-life-francis-chan/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/07/john-carver-show--living-an-honest-life-francis-chanMon, 07 Sep 2015 16:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Living an Honest Life (Francis Chan)If you're like me you know people who don't tell the truth all the time.  There are some people who just don't ever tell the truth.  Walking in integrity is a path made for people who choose to do the right thing all the time.  Francis Chan shares a sermon on that very subject.  It's EASY to lying.  It's EASY to tell half-truths.  It's EASY to stretch the truth.

Here’s the solution to the equation then I will jump into its parts: P X 4 stands for Problems, Pruning, People and Pressure. What’s the final P?  PERFORMANCE In order to reach a high level of performance there is a long road that you have to travel. Each of these “Ps” (Problems, Pruning, People and Pressure) has a way of PUSHING you to PERFORMANCE! Isaac Settles in Gerar – Genesis 26 26 Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; [a]stay in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Sojourn in this land and I will be with you and bless you, for to you and to your [b]descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to your father Abraham.  PROBLEMS have a way of creating steel in your spine or jello in your soul. 2nd P = Pruning.  To grow we must be willing to be cleaned up from time to time so we will grow. Toward the end of my talk I share the "OPs" that you and I can leverage. There are many people who fail to leverage their problems, pruning, people and pressure thus turning them into excuses or stumbling blocks in their lives.   Most of the time EXCELLENT performance is a result of Problems, Pruning, People and Pressure.  I would say 90% of the time. You can either WASTE those situations or USE those situations. 00:54:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,SermonsThere are 4 P's that you need to reach the top!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/03/john-carver-show--transitions-of-life-dr-dale-bronnerSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/03/john-carver-show--transitions-of-life-dr-dale-bronner/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/09/03/john-carver-show--transitions-of-life-dr-dale-bronnerThu, 03 Sep 2015 20:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Transitions of Life (Dr. Dale Bronner)I love how Dr. Bronner makes the complext sound simple.  Welcome to Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral, a family of loving believers who are striving to make a difference every day.  Thank you for choosing to be our guest today.  We believe that you were divinely led to share with us to receive something from the Lord so that you can be a blessing to someone else.  We encourage you to never give up but always give back!  We offer a variety of ministries here to serve you.

Living Bible - 4 If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.[b] 5 God’s ways are as mysterious as the pathway of the wind and as the manner in which a human spirit is infused into the little body of a baby while it is yet in its mother’s womb. 6 Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow—perhaps it all will. Ecclesiastes 11:1-6 - The Message (MSG) 11 Be generous: Invest in acts of charity. Charity yields high returns. 2 Don’t hoard your goods; spread them around. Be a blessing to others. This could be your last night. 3-4 When the clouds are full of water, it rains. When the wind blows down a tree, it lies where it falls. Don’t sit there watching the wind. Do your own work. Don’t stare at the clouds. Get on with your life. 5 Just as you’ll never understand     the mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman, So you’ll never understand     the mystery at work in all that God does. 6 Go to work in the morning     and stick to it until evening without watching the clock.

David reached an end to his discouragement, got up and FOLLOWED GOD’S DIRECTIONS! There’s a HUGE difference between staying down when you get knocked down and getting back up when you get knocked down. "In America, failure is considered a disruption in progress," says Scott A. Sandage, a history professor at Carnegie Mellon University who teaches a course on success and failure. "Even as the understanding of economic challenges increases, there's an intensification of shame around failure." Jesus Christ (0AD - 33 AD) Jesus stuck to the truth of his message, despite the consequences. On many ocassions, he had the opportunity to escape or change his message. But, he felt the right thing to do was to suffer outer humiliation and pain in order to leave a legacy of spiritual truth. William Tyndale (1494 – 1536) - Translated Bible into English, which at the time was forbidden. For his controversial views he was later arrested and executed. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”?

"Everything you think you see in me, everything I’ve accomplished, everything you think I have – and I have a few things," said Washington. "Everything that I have is by the grace of God. Understand that. It’s a gift." In leading up to those remarks, the star of such films as Malcolm X, Training Day, Glory, The Book of Eli, and The Equalizer, said, “When I was young and started really making it as an actor, I came and talked to my mother and said, ‘Mom, did you think this was going to happen? I’d be so big and I’ll be able to take care of everybody and I can do this and I can do that.’" "She said, ‘Boy, stop it right there, stop it right there, stop it right there!" he continued.  "She said, ‘If you only knew how many people been praying for you.’ How many prayer groups she put together, how many prayer talks she gave, how many times she splashed me with holy water to save my sorry behind." Towards the end of his speech, Washington repeated some of the comments he has made over the years about reliance on God. He reminded that crowd that no matter how much you attain in material goods, "you will never see a U-Haul behind a hearse." He also told the graduates of the small, private, historically black college in New Orleans, "I pray that you put your slippers under your bed tonight, so that when you wake up in the morning you have to get on your knees to reach them." “And while you’re down there, say thank you," he said.  "Thank you for grace, thank you for mercy, thank you for understanding, thank you for wisdom, thank you for parent... 00:16:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoDenzel Washington,Wisdom,John CarverWords of wisdom from Denzel Washington!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/08/14/john-carver-show--turned-it-aroundSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/08/14/john-carver-show--turned-it-around/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/08/14/john-carver-show--turned-it-aroundFri, 14 Aug 2015 14:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Turned It AroundThis show will challenge you.  Throughout history and up to the present day thousands upon thousands of people have made it through some really hard times.  This is a sermon I shared recently that illustrates that life hands us all some very difficult times but there are some who push through them to bigger and better lives. Victor Frankl in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, found meaning in his suffering while in a Nazi concentration camp. Here are some ways you can find a meaning in your situation to move past it: What has it taught you? Has it made you stronger/kinder/wiser? Even simply enduring a bad moment has meaning in making your happy moments better. “A challenge only becomes an obstacle when you bow to it.” ? Ray A. Davis Joseph was seventeen years old. He was a shepherd. He did not participate in his brothers’ misconducts. In fact, he brought the reports of their mischief to his father, Jacob. He was the favorite son of Jacob. Jacob loved him more than all his brothers. Jacob made a coat of many colors for him. His brothers hated him for this reason and could not even talk with him well. Joseph was rather naive to tell his dreams to his brothers about his future supremacy and his brothers’ submission to him. That intensified their hatred towards him. So, when the opportunity came at Dothan, they planned to kill him. But Rueben tried to rescue him by persuading them not to kill him. His brothers sold him to the caravan of Ishmaelite going to Egypt. His life was changed in a moment, from being the beloved son to the slave in an unknown land, Egypt. Joseph was sold to Potiphar, the captain of Pharaoh’s guard.  Potiphar’s wife accused Joseph of attempted rape.       00:40:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,StruggleThis show is to encourage you that when sometimes life SUCKS there is hope!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/31/john-carver-show--leadershipyouve-got-itSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/31/john-carver-show--leadershipyouve-got-it/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/31/john-carver-show--leadershipyouve-got-itFri, 31 Jul 2015 16:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Leadership...You've Got It!I’ve met so many people who think Leaders are born or they need to have a title or a position.  I don’t buy that idea. Leadership is shown by your actions and not your words. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) – Galileo was willing to challenge the orthodoxy of the church through his own scientific discoveries. This commitment to truth and science came despite personal threats to his well-being. Witold Pilecki (1901 –  1948) During WW2 Pilecki joined the underground Polish resistance. In 1943, he volunteered to smuggle himself into Auschwitz concentration camp so he could report on the holocaust to the allies. He then escaped Auschwitz and took part in the Warsaw uprising of 1944. In 1948, he was executed by the Stalinist secret police for retaining loyalty to the non-Communist Polish government. I cannot get my head around this method that God chooses. The older I get the more I realize more people watch your life than you can imagine. “One of the hardest places, in leadership, is what you DO with what you KNOW when you THINK what you KNOW isn’t WORKING.  What you DO, when you’re DOWN, can determine the OUTCOME!”  Me Repeating - The older I get the more I realize more people watch your life than you can imagine. Job made a choice that I really don’t know if I could have made…22 Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God. Leadership is standing when you feel like falling on your face in anguish and staying there. Leadership is NOT a title. Leadership is about influencing others in your life with your words, habits and actions. “Leadership is an action, not a position.” ~ Donald McGannon 00:51:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Leadership,LeadSo many people assume you need to be a big shot to be a leader.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/30/john-carver-show--question-everything-andy-stanleySelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/30/john-carver-show--question-everything-andy-stanley/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/30/john-carver-show--question-everything-andy-stanleyThu, 30 Jul 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Question Everything (Andy Stanley)NTRODUCTION What if there was a question that would clarify your best option for ninety percent of the decisions you make in life—a question that answers just about everything? It would have the potential to foolproof your relationships, marriage, finances, calendar, pace, and health. It would reduce the complexity of your life. It would save you time, money and tears. You would carry around less regret. And best of all, you wouldn’t have to apologize nearly as much. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? If so, what are you going to do to make sure you follow through on them? 2. What are some ways you’ve seen people allow their emotions and desires lead their decisionmaking? 3. Read Ephesians 5:15–17. What are some of the cultural currents that make it difficult for people today to make wise choices? 4. How might your life be different if you made decisions in light of your past experience and current circumstances? 5. During the message, Andy said, “Personal vision is often a catalyst for wise decisions.” Think about your future hopes and dreams. What are some opportunities you’re in danger of missing if you make unwise choices? 6. What is one area of your life about which you need to ask, “What’s the wise thing for me to do?” How can this group support you in asking that question? MOVING FORWARD Of every invitation, opportunity, relationship, or decision, ask “What’s the wise thing to do?” If you were going to do the wise thing, what would it be? By asking that question, even if you don’t follow through, you will discover something about you. You owe it to yourself to know the answer to that question. CHANGING YOUR MIND Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

She is interested in understanding how people think, and how they can think better. Her research, which is funded by the National Science Foundation, investigates how certain ways of thinking about an issue tend to stick in people's heads. Her classes on social psychology focus on understanding the way people think and behave in social situations, and how to harness that knowledge to potentially improve the social world in which we all live. In her short talk which was first shared on a TEDx stage she confirmed everything I have been teaching.  Specifically, it's harder to get going after you hear bad news than only focusing on the good news.  Her talk is short, to the point but will make you think about the people you allow to speak into your life. 00:14:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Negative People,Alison LedgerwoodYou MUST stay away from negative people.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/22/john-carver-show--the-big-secret-nobody-wants-to-tell-bruce-muzikSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/22/john-carver-show--the-big-secret-nobody-wants-to-tell-bruce-muzik/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/22/john-carver-show--the-big-secret-nobody-wants-to-tell-bruce-muzikWed, 22 Jul 2015 21:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - The Big Secret Nobody Wants to Tell (Bruce Muzik)And as we drive along the coast road to the beach, a bus fares down towards me and above the driver’s head is a big sign that says Whites-only. As we arrive at the beach, there is a big fence down in the middle of the beach dividing the beautiful white big sandy section into a small little black rocky section. So I turn to my mom and I say, “Mommy, where is there a fence on the beach?” And she says, “Honey, that’s to keep the white people separate from the black people”. So I am 10 years old and on this journey alone, I have already learned that black people are dangerous  because they might hijack our car. And black people need to be kept separate. I am 10 years-old and I’m already a racist. Later in his story he says: So imagine the scene, I’m driving down the street at 10 o’clock on a Monday morning two weeks later to move into this new house that I’ve never seen before. And the street is deserted except the two men sitting drinking beer on beer crates. And I open the door to my new house. I am thinking, “Wow, several steps down from the house I used to live in, right, which was that one. But I’m pretty grateful because I could have been living in that with no running water. So I got out of my car to unload the boxes off my car. And as I do, a crowd started to gather around the car. I’m thinking oh, man – it must have been 10 to 15 black people standing there. And a woman comes forward to me and she says, Umlongo, what are you doing?

It’s pretty hard to imagine her doing any kind of labor and she sure didn’t enjoy it. “It was the pits working in a salon, sweeping up hair,” she said about her worst job. Jim Carrey: Janitor The Canadian born comedian and actor dropped out of high school when he was 15 to work as a janitor to help support his family.  In a commencement speech he gave at Maharishi University of Management, Carrey spoke about his time supporting his family and lessons learned from his father. He said “you can fail at something you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance doing what you love.”   I’ve learned that the people who finally “make it” look at their struggles DIFFERENTLY! Many of them, also, deconstruct what’s getting in their way to be able to overcome smaller hurdles easier. Also, and this is a big one, many of them master FAITHFULNESS and look for opportunities to make a difference in other people’s lives via their faithfulness. Robert Morgan writes, “Faithfulness isn’t defined by a solitary act or achieved in a single day; it’s a long obedience in the same direction.” Eugene Peterson puts it this way, “If we string together our days of faithfulness like small jewels on a golden chain, we’ll arrive at the end of our earthly span to present the treasure to our Lord and exchange it for a crown.” I've been pastoring (in addition to many other things I do) since 1994 at Faith Outreach Chapel 1713 Rittenhouse Ave Baltimore MD 21227   www.johnwcarver.com   00:47:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoBig Time,John Carver,Faith Outreach ChapelBefore reaching the "BIG TIME" most people have years of struggle.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/15/john-carver-show--nick-vujicic--every-reason-to-complainsaddlebackSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/15/john-carver-show--nick-vujicic--every-reason-to-complainsaddleback/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/15/john-carver-show--nick-vujicic--every-reason-to-complainsaddlebackWed, 15 Jul 2015 21:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Nick Vujicic - Every Reason to Complain/SaddlebackToo often we get our eyes on our own problems when others have far worse problems.

When will you wake up? 10 “Let me sleep a little longer!” Sure, just a little more! 11 And as you sleep, poverty creeps upon you like a robber and destroys you; want attacks you in full armor. “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” ?

In this show I share a short talk by a man that reminded me to leverage my strengths.  Some of what Marcus Buckingham has said about maximizing your strenghts:“If your senses are numbed with delusion and denial, you will stop looking for these true strengths and wind up living a second-rate version of someone's life rather than a worldclass version of your own” “You cannot learn very much about excellence from studying failure.”  “Define excellence vividly, quantitatively. Paint a picture for your most talented employees of what excellence looks like. Keep everyone pushing and pushing toward the right-hand edge of the bell curve.”  “Spend the most time with your best people. ... Talent is the multiplier. THe more energy and attention you invest in it, the greater the yield. The time you spend with your best is, quite simply, your most productive time. ... Persistence directed primarily toward your non-talents is self-destructive. ... You will reprimand yourself, berate yourself, and put yourself through all manner of contortions in an attempt to achieve the impossible.”  ? Marcus Buckingham Identify a person's strenths. Define outcomes that play to those strengths. Find a way to count, rate or rank those outcomes. And then let the person run.”  To learn more about Marcus Buckingham go to https://www.tmbc.com/ 00:42:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,StrengthsMaximize how your WIRED!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/07/john-carver-show--deconstruct-any-skill--timothy-ferrissSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/07/john-carver-show--deconstruct-any-skill--timothy-ferriss/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/07/07/john-carver-show--deconstruct-any-skill--timothy-ferrissTue, 07 Jul 2015 14:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Deconstruct ANY Skill - Timothy FerrissI was, first, introduced to Timothy Ferriss through his book "The Four Hour Work Week."  It totally transformed how I work and what I think is possible in getting accomplished in a day, month or year.  Since that book has been released Timothy Ferriss has gone on to master MANY areas in his life by deconstructing how those things are accomplished. Some of what he has said in the past include: “For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.”  ? Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Workweek “But you are the average of the five people you associate with most, so do not underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends.

You know, this was a father that you absolutely worshipped and loved and he did you, and to see those pictures, it must be emotional. I don’t think there’s anything surprising about you reacting like this.” Bear continued to add that his sister was correct in saying that “you kind of definitely bottle stuff and a put a lid on it”, before needing to pause the interview. He continued: “Yes it’s just very raw. I think it’s raw.

There have been countless people, for centuries, who have gotten “stuck” when faced with opportunities because they are worried about the (potential) negative implications of their actions. Analysis paralysis or paralysis by analysis is an anti-pattern, the state of over-analyzing (or over-thinking) a situation so that a decision or action is never taken, in effect paralyzing the outcome. "Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful." Mark Victor Hansen "Successful people have fear, successful people have doubts, and successful people have worries. They just don't let these feelings stop them." T. Harv Eker Our stress comes because we are not in the moment but rather worried about the future implications of our choices.

In a blog he writes: Momentum is the greatest of all change-agents. When a leader has it, organizational change comes easily, for it’s much simpler to steer a company that’s already experiencing success than to jumpstart one that’s stagnant. On a team that’s thriving, growing, and delivering results an aura of excitement permeates everything. The momentum is almost tangible. Yet even though we can feel the momentum, it’s hard to define. Let’s take a momentum to pin down where it comes from. The attitude of the leader + the atmosphere of the organization + the accomplishments of the people = MOMENTUM Leaders who court momentum display a set of attitudes that help them reach new altitudes. First, they take responsibility for outcomes. They don’t blame failures on their people or on forces beyond their control. Second, leaders who generate momentum operate with an empowering sense of hope. They shape their surroundings instead of merely being shaped by them. They believe in the possibility of change instead of complaining about challenges to it. Finally, leaders who drive momentum have unfailing enthusiasm. They’re convinced of the importance of their work, and this sense of purpose propels them forward. Leaders build a culture favorable to momentum in the following ways. First, they believe the best about their people—concentrating on developing their strengths rather than on fixing their shortcomings. Second, they provide an inspiring vision that’s contagious. They share it confidently and talk about it continually, until everyone on the team sees it almost as clearly as they do. Third, they remove the fear of failure. They invite risk and affirm innovative ideas—even if they don’t always work.   00:31:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Momentum,John Maxwell,LeadershipJohn Maxwell has been a teacher of Leaders for many years.  In this show he shares how MOMENTIUM can be your BEST FRIEND!

Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre.” “My pain is my badge of honor.” “The greatest opportunity in the world is found here today… We already know what yesterday has got for us. It’s already gone. Tomorrow, too far away. What about right now!” “I prepare so no one can take what is mine, no one can replace my mind, my heart.” “You take five fingers. Individually, I can pin any one of them, but if I pin them together (makes a fist), it’s damn near impossible to turn this around.” “You have to get back to being kids again.  You can’t never get tired.  I have something burning inside me.  I am a kid all over again.” “The day you think you can beat me, show me.  Then move on to the next challenge.” “All I know is grind.” “In any war who pulls their general out?

There have been times, when I sat down on the bike at the gym, to glance over and see the guy next to me up to five, six or seven miles.  For a second, I think I can’t catch up until I remember he started peddling about 15 min before I sat down. A company chartered a ship for its top sales people. When they arrived at the dock, they swarmed aboard and headed for their cabins. A minute later one salesman was on deck demanding to see the Captain. One of the officers asked if he could help. "My friend has a much better cabin!" the salesman said. "I did as good a job as he did and I want a cabin just like his." "Sir," the officer replied, "The cabins are identical." "Yeah," said the man, "but his cabin looks out on the ocean and my cabin looks out on this old dock." The man had become so absorbed with playing the comparison game that he became blind to the obvious-the ship would soon be on the ocean and all the views would be the same. Have you ever noticed that we are perfectly content with what we have-until we compare what we have with what someone else has?   2 Corinthians 10:12 Living Bible (TLB) - 12 Oh, don’t worry, I wouldn’t dare say that I am as wonderful as these other men who tell you how good they are! Their trouble is that they are only comparing themselves with each other and measuring themselves against their own little ideas. What stupidity!

In his talk from 2013, former Secretary of State Colin Powell shares his personal thoughts on why it's so important to invest in children by giving them structure, responsibility, and a good start in life.  He talks about how today's kids will be the next generation of leaders and he shares how the military helped to shape him into the man and the leader that he is today.   I can't imagine ever seriously asking my kids to stand at attention when the talk to me, but then again, I'm not a General and former world leader.  And I certainly do see his point that our children's education begins well before we send them off to school.   He says: "I want to talk about young people and structure, young people and structure. This was last Wednesday afternoon at a school in Brooklyn, New York, at Cristo Rey High School, run by the Jesuits. And I was talking to this group of students, and take a look at them. They were around me in three directions. You'll noticed that almost all of them are minority. You'll notice that the building is rather austere. It's an old New York school building, nothing fancy. They still have old blackboards and whatnot. And there are about 300 kids in this school, and the school's been going now for four years, and they're about to graduate their first class. Twenty-two people are graduating, and all 22 are going to college. They all come from homes where there is, for the most part, just one person in the home, usually the mother or the grandmother, and that's it, and they come here for their education and for their structure."

Her classmates are in a single-file line at the pool's edge. They're practicing jumping in. The little girl is at the front of the line and she is frightened. She's in position. Knees bent. Arms reaching forward. But her toes curl tight over the tiled rim of the pool, and her little face wears worry. Her instructor is in the water, with her arms also stretched forward. She's offering words of encouragement and the safety net of her catch. But the tiny girl stands frozen, unable to jump. She's bound to the edge of the pool by invisible cords of fear... Edward Teller said,  “When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.” “Faith consists in believing what reason cannot.” ?

Now what more can he have but the kingdom?” 9 Saul looked at David with suspicion from that day on. There is a fable of an eagle which could out fly another, and the other didn't like it. The latter saw a sportsman one day, and said to him: "I wish you would bring down that eagle." The sportsman replied that he would if he only had some feathers to put into the arrow. So the eagle pulled one out of his wing. The arrow was shot, but didn't quite reach the rival eagle; it was flying too high..... 00:54:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,Jealousy,Envy,HateOn Sunday, May 24, 2015 I shared a sermon called "Why Some People Hate You."  The bulk of my talk came from the Biblical story of King Saul and David.  Here ishttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/28/john-carver-show--use-your-own-mind-jim-rohnSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/28/john-carver-show--use-your-own-mind-jim-rohn/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/28/john-carver-show--use-your-own-mind-jim-rohnThu, 28 May 2015 14:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Use Your Own Mind (Jim Rohn)Jim Rohn was an EXTRAORDINARY man.  He grew up on a farm and met one man that helped him learn how to change his life.  In this short talk Mr. Rohn shares how sad it is when people blame everything except for themselves for not making it in life.  Some of his most famous stories include: Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple but powerful concept - the ant philosophy. I think everybody should study ants.  They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way.  They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.  Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important perspective. You can't be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.  An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer." Why do we need that advice?

He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the ocean, wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farmhand?" the farmer asked him. "Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work. Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!" (LISTEN TO THE SHOW FOR THE REST OF THE STORY) Trust impacts us 24/7, 365 days a year. It undergirds and affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, every work project, every business venture, every effort in which we are engaged. It changes the quality of every present moment and alters the trajectory and outcome of every future moment of our lives—both personally and professionally. In business, trust is established through reputation.  Jesus has been our “brand” for some years and we still have trouble being an unpaid advertiser for Him.  Do we distribute Christ’s trust in the marketplace?  Look at EBAY…millions of people trust complete strangers EVERY year.    00:32:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Trust,Faith Outreach ChapelWHEN THE WINDS BLOW  “Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.

The impact shattered two bones beneath Androus’ knee into six pieces, causing "unbelievable pain," he recalled. He was taken to INOVA Alexandria Hospital where surgeons stabilized the fracture, inserting a titanium rod through the center of his tibia. Androus spent a month in bed and three months in a wheelchair recovering from the injury. Androus, who wore leg braces as a child to correct a congenital condition and survived a head-on car crash on the George Washington Parkway in 1989, said he had to set a goal for himself in order to get well. His goal was running the 2000 Marine Corps Marathon. "Life is about making choices," Androus told the assembly. As an Ireton student, he didn’t see the point of studying geometry or trigonometry and remembers begging math teacher Richard Bulcavage for a C, but publicly thanked him last week for giving him a D, the grade he deserved. Androus said he regretted never having had the chance to thank the late Coach James McGrath for his influence. "You have people here who care so much about you," Androus said."

It has been said, “Fruit does not grow on mountaintops, but in valleys.” “We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed and broken. We are perplexed, but we don’t give up and quit. We are hunted down, but God never abandons us. We get knocked down, but we get up again and keep going” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) NLT  C. M. Ward said, "…no two people are meant to carry identical loads." The "Iron Sharpens Iron" principle says that if you have someone in your life that does not have similar objectives, goals, integrity and character than they will not be effective in sharpening you. Sometimes we get "dull" in our life quests and we need someone with like-motivation to encourage us to keep going. If you have someone with no drive or who does not understand that life is lived "on purpose" they will not be effective in helping you over hurdles.  As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend. (Proverbs 27:17) When we don’t have friends that challenge us and encourage us to grow, we grow dull.   00:31:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver Show,Faith Outreach Chapel,John Carver,Juliana Carver,StruggleI, first, shared this show when our daughter, Juliana, was going through cancer treatments for the 4th time.  I was having some pretty rough days dealing with shttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/15/john-carver-show--when-you-walk-out-that-doorSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/15/john-carver-show--when-you-walk-out-that-door/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/15/john-carver-show--when-you-walk-out-that-doorFri, 15 May 2015 16:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - When you Walk Out that Door...On May 3, 2015 I took my son Tim and daughter Juliana to see Avengers – Age of Ultron.  I believe most people live life on the DEFENSIVE instead of the OFFENSIVE!   Joshua 1:6-7,9 the Lord says three times to Joshua, "Be strong and courageous." Many people, I have met, think life is a passive walk in the park. “The hands that help are better far than lips that pray.” ? Robert G. Ingersoll, The Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Vol. IV “You have the choice to either pray then plan or pray and wait; but keep in mind miracles are usually accessed somewhere between the 11th hour and resurrection.” ? Johnnie Dent Jr. Repeating - Clint Barton: [to Wanda] If you step out that door, you're an Avenger. Jesus story about the man who built his house on the sand.  The houses looked almost alike except for the foundation. Matthew 7:24-27New American Standard Bible (NASB) The Two Foundations 24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and [a]acts on them, [b]may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the [c]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not [d]act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, and the [e]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” “Rain” and “wind” are GOING TO HAPPEN!  How are you going to build your house? The man who built his house on the sand may have been lazy and didn’t want to do the “hard work” of digging into the rock. 00:31:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Walk out that door,Age of Ultron,Avengers Age of Ultron,Rock or SandOn May 3, 2015 I took my son Tim and daughter Juliana to see Avengers – Age of Ultron.  I believe most people live life on the DEFENSIVE instead of the OFFENSIVhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/13/john-carver-show--erase-the-pastSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/13/john-carver-show--erase-the-past/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/13/john-carver-show--erase-the-pastWed, 13 May 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Erase the PastI've known a lot of people who get stuck looking at past mistakes and allow those mistakes to cloud their future.  The temptation of looking back can be overpowering.  On today's show I will be sharing some ideas that can help you start fresh and release all the baggage from the past that keeps tripping you up.

That we see can hide what is NOT seen!   Psalm 23 comes to mind that reminds me that God is doing stuff FOR US that we can’t even see. Psalm 23 Living Bible (TLB) 23 Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need! 2-3 He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most. 4 Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.[a] 5 You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest;[b] blessings overflow! 6 Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home. This paints such an amazing picture of a relationship with God that can exist in your life and my life. Throughout the Old Testament of the Bible there seems to be a single thread that says to those who follow God.  That thread is God saying “Trust me.” There’s a side note that goes with what I just said.  Trust, in God, doesn’t equate to doing nothing.  It suggests trusting as you’re doing stuff. The fear of being wrong keeps so many people from doing what seems to be impossible. The fear of not knowing the full story keeps millions of people from reaching toward unseen potential and unseen blessings. Is what we SEE all there is to SEE?  NO!

Erma Bombeck: “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me'.” Winston Churchill: “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” Sometimes you don’t know what your education, training, difficulties will do for other people until you’re called to “Make a difference.” Dr. David Jeremiah: "So if you believe in something that's good, honest, and right, stand up for it." Deuteronomy 6:18 – “And you shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord.” From Ann Landers’ column: The difference between Winners and Whiners is – The Whiner says, "I don’t know, and I’m sure nobody else does either." The Winner says, "Let’s find out." When a Whiner makes a mistake, he says, "It wasn’t my fault." When a Winner makes a mistake, he says, "I’m responsible and I’m going to see what can be done to set things right." When a Winner makes a commitment, he honors it. When a Whiner makes a promise, he keeps it if he doesn’t change his mind.   I pastor at: Faith Outreach Chapel 1713 Rittenhouse Ave Baltimore MD 21227 www.johnwcarver.com     00:42:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Courage,Faith Outreach ChapelEvery single day there is a temptation to FALL…to get off course…to get distracted.  Some days you’re challenged to stand up for what’s right!   Living Bible -http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/05/john-carver-show--make-your-minutes-count-andy-stanleyChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/05/john-carver-show--make-your-minutes-count-andy-stanley/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/05/05/john-carver-show--make-your-minutes-count-andy-stanleyTue, 05 May 2015 13:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Make Your Minutes Count (Andy Stanley)Today's show is a talk given by Andy Stanley (http://northpoint.org/).  He is the son of Pastor Charles Stanley.  Andy's style has opened my eyes so many times to look at things differently.  Today's show is no exception.  "Make your Minutes Count" is about prayer.   When was the last time you heard someone teach a lesson on how to pray, why we should pray and so much more information that could get you to look at prayer in a whole new way.

Simon Sinek says, "Do you know your Why? The purpose, cause, or belief that inspires you to do what you do. Simon Sinek's online Why Discovery course can help you learn and live your Why." Imagine a world where people wake up every day inspired to go to work, feel safe while they are there, and return home at the end of the day feeling fulfilled by the work they do, feeling that they have contributed to something greater than themselves.  Described as “a visionary thinker with a rare intellect,” Sinek teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. With a bold goal to help build a world in which the vast majority of people go home everyday feeling fulfilled by their work, Sinek is leading a movement to inspire people to do the things that inspire them.

We did it because people want to be touched, noticed, and connected.” Seth wrote: On making a ruckus in your industry Bring forward a new idea or technology that disrupts and demands a response Change pricing dramatically Redefine a service as a product (or vice versa) Organize the disorganized, connect the disconnected Alter the speed to market radically Change the infrastructure, the rules or the flow of information Give away what used to be expensive and charge for something else Cater to the weird, bypassing the masses Take the lead on ethics (Or you could just wait for someone to tell you what they want you to do) Get more info on Seth Godin at http://www.sethgodin.com/sg/ 00:23:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Seth Godin,What's now,Distrupt your lifeSeth Godin stretches my mind.  I've read several of his books and each one of them challenged me to believe that I have more to share with the world.  On this shttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/24/john-carver-show--more-than-enoughSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/24/john-carver-show--more-than-enough/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/24/john-carver-show--more-than-enoughFri, 24 Apr 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - More Than EnoughToday's show is called "More than Enough."  In the show I attempt to paint a picture that you have more capacity and opportunity than you can imagine.  It's from a sermon I shared by the same title.  Some of what you will hear includes: I think, sometimes, people believe God runs empty!  God wants us to take ownership of the power that we have in God! “There was a man who was cleaning up his desk one Friday afternoon when he noticed an envelope that had been opened. Someone must have placed it there while he was on the phone. He opened it and read it, and to his shock and dismay it was a notice of being terminated, being laid-off from his job. His entire department was being eliminated along with his position. After all the years he had given to his corporation, he found himself filled with resentment and the sense of being victimized. The man sat slumped in his chair in utter despair. He began to think of all the terrible things that were going to happen to him. His entire lifestyle would have to be altered. He thought, "I'll have to sell my house; I'm too old to get another job; I'm useless; I'm all washed up." At that moment, the man noticed a spider on his desk, and without thinking he brushed it off.

[Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind, But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 14] “What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” ? John Lubbock “The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.” ? Criss Jami “Remember, you see in any situation what you expect to see.” ? David J. Schwartz Attitude William James said: “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitude of mind.” Dear Friend: As I circle overhead, I can see that you are about to give up. It looks to you as though there is no way up and no way out. You feel trapped, with no place to turn. I understand. You see, I have been there. I also, walked where you walk, and I, too, experienced the feelings you are experiencing now. I have dropped this letter and this map to encourage you. There IS a way of escape. What I can see from MY vantage point you cannot see from yours. To you, that boulder is immovable and unscalable. From down there it would appear that way.

We want to make a contribution, to be a part of something noble and purposeful. But many people wrongly believe significance is unattainable. They worry that it's too big for them to achieve. That they have to have an amazing idea, be a certain age, have a lot of money, or be powerful or famous to make a real difference. The good news is that none of those things is necessary for you to achieve significance and create a lasting legacy. The only thing you need to achieve significance is to be intentional. And to do that, all you need to do is start. You can't make an impact sitting still and doing nothing. Every major accomplishment that's ever been achieved started with a first step. Sometimes it's hard; other times it's easy, but no matter what, you have to do it if you want to get anywhere in life. In INTENTIONAL LIVING, John Maxwell will help you take that first step, and the ones that follow, on your personal path through a life that matters. http://www.amazon.com/Intentional-Living-Your-Pathway-Matters/dp/1455548170 I am sure you will find ideas you can use in your own life. 00:27:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,John Maxwell,Intentional LivingJohn Maxwell has been a Pastor and a Leadership expert for many years.  On this show I am sharing a min-sermon he did called "Intentional Living."  He has a boohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/17/john-carver-show--when-you-reach-itChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/17/john-carver-show--when-you-reach-it/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/17/john-carver-show--when-you-reach-itFri, 17 Apr 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - When You Reach ItGod doesn't let you see it until you trust to reach a specific point. On April 1, 2015, I was praying for a good parking space at Gold’s Gym parking lot. I didn’t see any spots open but I had this hunch to keep driving closer to the front door area.  THAT’S when I saw a very close parking spot.  I couldn’t see the open parking place until I got closer to what I hoped was going to happen…a close parking space. There are times, in your life, when you would like something to happen but the “noise” that you allow in your life drowns out the “hunches…the direction” that you need to get what you desire. There are times, when you need to be quiet, in order to LISTEN/FEEL/KNOW which path to take in your life. I will repeat this often today…there are times when we become so busy we MISS the opportunities to come to a place or turn a corner and our lives are changed forever. There are situations and people that, if you allow it, will push you right past the moments that will change your, entire, life.   Proverbs 3:5-6 - Living Bible (TLB) -  4-5 If you want favor with both God and man, and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely; don’t ever trust yourself. 6 In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success. Mark Twain once said that, “If the first thing that you do when you wake up in the morning is to eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that’s probably the worst thing that’s going to happen to you all day long.” People allow life’s situations to control their direction instead of having an inner compass that controls their reactions to their situations.     00:53:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,I Samuel,Faith Outreach Chapel,When you Reach ItGod doesn't let you see it until you trust to reach a specific point.

Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”  “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.”  “We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.”  “The keys to life are running and reading. When you're running, there's a little person that talks to you and says, "Oh I'm tired. My lung's about to pop. I'm so hurt. There's no way I can possibly continue." You want to quit. If you learn how to defeat that person when you're running. You will how to not quit when things get hard in your life. For reading: there have been gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you could have--with your parents, with school, with a bully. There's no new problem that someone hasn't already had and written about it in a book.”  “Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life - will come to your.

Here are some of his quotes from his books and speeches.: “If you can't get a miracle, become one.” “If I fail, I try again, and again, and again. If YOU fail, are you going to try again? The human spirit can handle much worse than we realize. It matters HOW you are going to FINISH. Are you going to finish strong?”  “It's a lie to think you're not good enough. It's a lie to think you're not worth anything.”  “Life isn't about having, it's about being. You could surround yourself with all that money can buy, and you'd still be as miserable as a human can be. I know people with perfect bodies who don't have half the happiness I've found. On my journeys I've seen more joy in the slums of Mumbai and the orphanages of Africa than in wealthy gated communities and on sprawling estates worth millions. Why is that? You'll find contentment when your talents and passion are completely engaged, in full force. Recognise instant self-gratification for what it is. Resist the temptation to grab for material objects like the perfect house, the coolest clothes or the hottest car. The if I just had X, I would be happy syndrome is a mass delusion. When you look for happiness in mere objects, they are never enough. Look around. Look within.”  “I never met a bitter person who was thankful. Or a thankful person who was bitter.”  “If I fail, I try again, and again, and again”  http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/ 00:28:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Nick VujicicNick Vujicic has touched, by some estimates, BILLIONS of lives around the world.  He was born without arms or legs and has gone from despair to making a differehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/13/john-carver-show--keeping-first-things-first--david-jeremiahChristianityhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/13/john-carver-show--keeping-first-things-first--david-jeremiah/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/13/john-carver-show--keeping-first-things-first--david-jeremiahMon, 13 Apr 2015 16:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Keeping First Things First - David JeremiahPastor David Jeremiah is a teacher that I love to learn from a follow regularly.  In this show he shares how quickly our priorities can get out of whack.  He shares a simple example of a jar and some rocks that illustrate, perfectly, how our priorities get all confused.  He says: "Every day you exchange a day of your life for something. It’s as if at the start of life each of us were issued a certain number of coins. They’re hidden inside a large machine so that we don’t know how many we were issued or how many we have left. Each day, the machine issues us a new coin. It may be the last coin we get, or we may get many more. All we know is that the average person in America gets between 70 and 80 years’ worth, but some get far less; a few may get more. You take each day’s coin and exchange it for something: a day at work or school, shopping, church, leisure, or whatever. Once spent, you can never get the coins back to spend them differently. The art of living wisely is largely a matter of spending your coins on the things that really matter in light of eternity and not frivolously wasting them. Living wisely is difficult because often the choice is not between the bad and the good, but between the good and the best."

If you make the effort to do the best of which you're capable, to try and improve the situationthat exists for you, I think that's success. And I don't think others can judge that. I think it's like character and reputation. Your reputation is what you are perceived to be; your character is what you really are. And I think that character is much more important than what you are perceived to be. You'd hope they'd both be good, but they won't necessarily be the same. Well, that was my idea that I was going to try to get across to the youngsters. So I did believe on time. I believe starting on time, and I believe closing on time. And another one I had was, not one word of profanity. One word of profanity, and you are out of here for the day. If I see it in a game, you're going to come out and sit on the bench. And the third one was, never criticize a teammate. I didn't want that. I used to tell them I was paid to do that. That's my job. I'm paid to do it. Pitifully poor, but I am paid to do it. Not like the coaches today, for gracious sakes, no. It's a little different than it was in my day. Those were three things that I stuck with pretty closely all the time. And those actually came from my dad. That's what he tried to teach me and my brothers at one time. 00:21:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Coach John Wooden,John Wooden,Basketball,UCLAThe late Coach John Wooden was a LEGEND in college basketball.  This show features a short talk at a TED conference where he highlights the difference from Winnhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/07/john-carver-show--how-to-become-best-friends-gary-smalleySelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/07/john-carver-show--how-to-become-best-friends-gary-smalley/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/07/john-carver-show--how-to-become-best-friends-gary-smalleyTue, 07 Apr 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - How to Become Best Friends (Gary Smalley)Dr. Gary Smalley has taught couples how to have better relationships for decades.  His, real life, experiences and the lessons he has learned from other couples has enabled him to frame how relationships in an easy-to-understand manner.   In 1979, Gary & Norma Smalley started an organization focused on helping families.

The following letter was found in a baking-power can wired to the handle of an old pump that offered the only hope of drinking water on a very long and seldom-used trail across Nevada's Amargosa Desert: "This pump is all right as of June 1932. I put a new sucker washer into it and it ought to last five years. But the washer dries out and the pump has got to be primed. Under the white rock I buried a bottle of water, out of the sun and cork end up. There's enough water in it to prime the pump, but not if you drink some first. Pour about one-fourth and let her soak to wet the leather. Then pour in the rest medium fast and pump like crazy. You'll git water. The well has never run dry. Have faith. When you git watered up, fill the bottle and put it back like you found it for the next feller. (signed) Desert Pete. P.S. Don't go drinking the water first. Prime the pump with it and you'll git all you can hold." Today I am talking about WALKING YOUR TALK! In Matthew Chapter 5-7 Jesus made this long discourse on how we are supposed to live our lives. Think about what just happened.  Jesus just taught HOW we should live and NOT he’s faced with a situation to LIVE what He just TAUGHT! In ancient Rome the "centurion" meant "captain of 100", and the Roman centurion was captain over 100 foot soldiers in a legion.

RowlingJ K Rolling is the author of the Harry Potter series of books.  Interesting that she's a BILLIONAIRE still gets nervous in front of people.  In her talk she says: There are benefits of failure.  Imagination is very important in life.  Her parents hoped she would get a "real job."  J. K. Rolling pushed to live her dream.  The moment you are old enough to take the wheel the responsibility is up to you.  Poverty enails fear, struggle and depression.  It means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships.  Climbing out of poverty is difficult. What she feared most was failure.  Talent and intellegence is not always enough.  In her twenties she was almost homeless and broke.  She thought she was a huge failure. She had no idea how long she was going to be broke. Failure is stripping away of what's not important.  She began to direct all her energy to what she was meant to do...write books.  She had a big idea.  "Rock bottom was the solid foundation on which I built my life." J. K. Rolling invested every waking hour developing her skills.  She says," The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned." Truly, a lady who didn't give up.  Here is the text of her speech: http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2008/06/text-of-j-k-rowling-speech/     00:23:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,J K Rolling,Harry PotterJ K Rolling is the author of the Harry Potter series of books.  Interesting that she's a BILLIONAIRE still gets nervous in front of people.  In her talk she sayhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/01/john-carver-show--winning-with-people-john-maxwellSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/01/john-carver-show--winning-with-people-john-maxwell/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/04/01/john-carver-show--winning-with-people-john-maxwellWed, 01 Apr 2015 19:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Winning with People (John Maxwell)One of the biggest skills, in life, is to get along with people.  John Maxwell wrote a book called "Winning with People."  In the book he shares: The Lens Principle Who you are determines what you see and the way you see it. What is around us doesn’t determine what we see: What is within us does. And who you are determines how you see others. If you are a trusting person, you will see others as trustworthy. If you are a critical person, you will see others as critical. If you are a caring person, you will see others as compassionate. The way you view others is determined by who you are. If you don’t like people, that really is a statement about you and the way you look at people. Your viewpoint is the problem. If that’s the case, don’t try to change others. Don’t even focus on others; focus on yourself. If you change yourself and become the kind of person you desire to be, you will begin to view others in a whole new light. And that will change the way you interact in all of your relationships. The Mirror Principle People unaware of who they are and what they do often damage relationships with others. The way to change that is to look in the mirror. Consider these truths that we must learn about ourselves: Self-Awareness. Human nature seems to endow people with the ability to size up everybody in the world but themselves. The Big Picture Principle People who remain self-centered and self-serving will always have a hard time getting along with others. To help them break that pattern of living, they need to see the big picture, which requires perspective, maturity and responsibility. Here are some steps to follow: Get out of your “own little world.” Go places you have never gone, meet the kinds of people you do not know, and do the things you have not done before.  Today's Show features a LIVE talk John Maxwell gave on this subject. 01:09:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Winning with People,John MaxwellOne of the biggest skills, in life, is to get along with people.  John Maxwell wrote a book called "Winning with People."  In the book he shares: The Lens Prinhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/31/john-carver--the-cash-flow-quadrantSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/31/john-carver--the-cash-flow-quadrant/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/31/john-carver--the-cash-flow-quadrantTue, 31 Mar 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver - The Cash Flow QuadrantRobert Kiyosaki is the author of "Rich Dad/Poor Dad."  It's an eye opening book about the four different ways to earn income in the American system.  He says, "On the left side of the quadrant are Es and Ss. They pay the most in taxes and trade their time for money. On the right side of the quadrant are Bs and Is. They pay the least in taxes and create or invest in assets that produce cash flow for them even when they’re sleeping. It’s my belief that the dividing line between those who are struggling in today’s economy and those who are prospering is the line between the two sides of the CASHFLOW Quadrant. In this downturn, it is employees and self-employed people who are struggling as jobs are scarce and the cost of living is rising. Because they have only their time to trade, and that is not in high demand, they are at a disadvantage. Additionally, the products they need in order to live like food, gas, and more are becoming more expensive. On the other hand, those who own big businesses and who invest are becoming richer and richer. Corporations are sitting on piles of cash and investors are cherry picking the best assets at rock bottom pricing. Many in the E and S quadrants are holding on for the economy to pick up, and if it does, they will do well as the demand for people’s time—employment—goes up. That being said, the will still pay the highest in taxes and still be under the mercy of their employers and the economy. Until then, they will struggle because they have nothing else to offer and no other way to make money. Employees and self-employed always do badly in a down economy.       00:21:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver Show,Cash FlowRobert Kiyosaki is the author of "Rich Dad/Poor Dad."  It's an eye opening book about the four different ways to earn income in the American system.  He says, "http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/30/john-carver--how-to-keep-from-stressing-out-rick-warrenSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/30/john-carver--how-to-keep-from-stressing-out-rick-warren/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/30/john-carver--how-to-keep-from-stressing-out-rick-warrenMon, 30 Mar 2015 17:00:00 GMTJohn Carver - How to Keep from Stressing Out (Rick Warren)There have been times that I thought I was going to implode because of stress my life.  Everyone has stress and most people handle it differently.  Rick Warren is pastor of Saddleback Church.  He shares a unique viewpoint on how to handle stress.

A former police officer tells of the tactics of roving bands of thieves: “They enter the store as a group. One or two separate themselves from the group, and the others start a loud commotion in another section of the store. This grabs the attention of the clerks and customers. As all eyes are turned to the disturbance, the accomplices fill their pockets with merchandise and cash, leaving before anyone suspects. Hours—sometimes even days—later, the victimized merchant realizes things are missing and calls the police. Too late. There are times when the temptation to STOP doing a great work is GREAT! Nehemiah, in the Old Testament, saw that Jerusalem was in ruins.  His heart ached.  He found a way to recruit a team to rebuild what was torn down and ruined for so many years. Nehemiah 6 (NASB) 2 then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, “Come, let us meet together at [a]Chephirim in the plain of Ono.” But they were planning to[b]harm me. 3 So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.

In the book he shares: Gary Smalley is one of the world's foremost speakers and experts on love and relationships. His gift for helping couples create more meaningful communication and deeper understanding so that they can establish an unwavering bond is the inspiration behind Secrets to Lasting Love, the culmination of Smalley's decades of work. In it he outlines the three essential skills that move couples to the highest levels of intimacy:    Respect your spouse for all of his or her individual qualities and differences from you.Communicate with each other in a way that moves conversations into deeper realms of understanding.Renew and recharge your spouse emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually -- constantly. It is not easy to recognize and then apply these skills. But Secrets to Lasting Love shows everyone how to do just that, so they can reach what Smalley calls the fifth, or ultimate, level of intimacy -- where there's a marital bond strong enough to withstand the inevitable highs and lows of life. With Gary Smalley, you will have the tools to create a heightened sense of commitment that will allow you to reach your spouse's heart and spirit.

(Andy Stanley)Matt 4:18-20 18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him. Andy Stanley makes this observation: When Jesus called his disciples, he told them what he wanted to make them to be. He didn’t say, I want to make you to be more disciplined (although that would have been great). He didn’t say I want to make you more religious. He didn’t say, I want to make you more theologically astute so you can answer any questions about the mysteries of the universe. He said…I want to make you to be something very special and very specific. I want to make you fishers of men. Now it makes sense that he would use this metaphor. We know that at least four of his 12 disciples had been apprenticed in the fishing industry: James, John, Peter, and Andrew. Three of those four were actually in his inner circle (Peter, James, John).  It also makes sense that he would use this comparison because when he called them they were actually fishing at that moment. So he said, you have been an apprentice in the fishing business, and its great that you are good at catching fish and selling them for profit. But I am going to apprentice you in a brand new business with profit for eternity. I am going to teach you to do what I do and make you fishers of men. This is still one of the primary objectives that Jesus has for his followers.

Jakes shares concepts from the Biblical stories of King Saul and the eventual King David. He talks about serving and ducking. The basis for Bishop Jakes teaching, on this show, is found in the Old Testament scripture.. 2 Samuel 5:24 - And let it be, when you hear the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then you shall bestir yourself: for then shall the LORD go out before you, to smite the host of the Philistines. Other concepts he shares in this short talk: Don't neglect the gift that God gave you to serve where you're serving now. King David in Power - He never forgot to serve. Values formed in the youth matter. Your choices matter. Being Seen or Be Connected What you choose is what you value. Leaders see the big picture. King David prayed alot. Are you fighting battles that are not your fight. Some things out to leave broken. David attributes his success to God's permission. David was told to wait for the sound before he went into battle.   00:28:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Courage,Battle,King David,T D JakesTo get the context of this show I suggest you read the first few chapters of 2 Samuel in the Old Testament in the Holy Bible.  Bishop T.

The one-time White House intern, now 41, has largely remained out of the spotlight since her affair with then-President Bill Clinton made her name known across the world and almost brought down his presidency. The talk, in Vancouver, marked her most public appearance to date, though last year she wrote an essay for Vanity Fair about life after the Clinton affair and has recently taken part in some conferences. "At 22, I fell in love with my boss," she told the conference, according to media reports. "And at the age of 24, I learned the devastating consequences." Ms Lewinsky said she went "from being a completely private figure to a publicly humiliated one worldwide." As she recalled her own experience, she said that, while in the 1990s there was no name for it, now it would be called "cyberbullying". "There were mobs of virtual stone-throwers," she recounted. s Lewinsky went on to describe other examples on online shaming, saying that public humiliation had become a "commodity" in the Internet age. At times emotional, Ms Lewinsky also at times told jokes. At one point she said she's "the only person over 40 who does not want to be 22 again". She ended on a positive note, telling "anyone who is suffering from shame and public humiliation" that "you can survive it". 00:26:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Monica Lewinsky,Bill Clinton,Bullying,IntimidationIf you're old enough you remember that President Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky.  I think, often times, we allow our past to define our future.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/20/john-carver-show--48-hours--bullying--words-can-killSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/20/john-carver-show--48-hours--bullying--words-can-kill/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/20/john-carver-show--48-hours--bullying--words-can-killFri, 20 Mar 2015 20:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - 48 Hours - Bullying - Words Can KillThis show is from the CBS News Show called "48 Hours."  Middle school can be a place for learning, discovery and friendships. But for some kids, it can also be a place of cruelty, loneliness and fear. Aislyn Doeur: "You're supposed to feel comfortable. And like you're scared to walk in the hallways. ...I was scared that I wasn't going to have any friends." Jacob Kaufman: "It just got to that feeling of desperation, and pretty much hopelessness."   Genesis Johnson: "I was so scared I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who to go to."

Johnny Cagno is an eighth grader at Birchwood Middle School in North Providence, Rhode Island. The school opened its doors last winter and gave "48 Hours" unprecedented access. "48 Hours" spent six months at Johnny's school because middle school is often ground zero for bullying. "You're judged constantly," Johnny told CBS News correspondent Tracy Smith.

Geller begins by asking three simple questions: Can we do it? Will it work? And finally, is it worth it? Answering "yes" to all three questions indicates that we feel competent, a quality which is likely to lead to higher self-motivation.  Geller follows the question of competency with another C-word: choice. Those who feel like they have more autonomy will become more self-motivated. When we work for a pleasant consequence, we are more likely to feel as though we are working towards something. On the other hand, when we are working to avoid a negative consequence, we are more likely to feel controlled and limited. Geller encourages us to be mindful of the choices and opportunity we have available to us, ultimately becoming "success-seekers" rather than "failure-avoiders." 00:20:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Self Motivation,Scott GellerIn his self-motivation talk, Scott Geller explores how we can inspire and empower ourselves to go beyond the call of duty.

It’s a great line, but it wasn’t really a line. I was just desperate for something to say. Out of my mouth comes, “Hey, have you ever done any modeling?” What a great line that is. I’d never used it before or since, because we started dating and that was it. When I asked her that question, she answered yes, but the way she said yes, I sensed that maybe there’s a story there, and since were out of stuff to talk about, I kind of plunged in and said, “Well, tell me what happened.” And so she told me a story that was … this is, I think, when I fell in love with Sandra. The significance of the story may seem small today, but it was huge. I’ve shared this before, but you’ve never heard her share it. SS: Since I would live downtown, I had some opportunities to do some just little modeling things at the Atlanta Apparel Mart. It was just a few blocks away. I had a friend who had a showroom there, and so every now and then during the big shows I would come down and do some things for her, and through that I got invited to do this other little modeling thing that I didn’t ask enough questions about ahead of time. But I got there and it was in this hotel ballroom. So I got to my dressing room and I went out and did the first runway thing, came back, changed clothes, went out again and came back and looked at the next one and I thought, Oooh, I don’t really think I want to wear that.  Don't miss this show!   00:45:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Guardrails,Boundaries,Husbands and wives,Any StanleyOn Today's Show I will be sharing some, real life, advice from Andy and Sandra Stanley about Guardrails.  Some of what you will hear includes: So we’re drivinghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/16/john-carver-show--david-and-goliath-malcolm-gladwellSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/16/john-carver-show--david-and-goliath-malcolm-gladwell/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/03/16/john-carver-show--david-and-goliath-malcolm-gladwellMon, 16 Mar 2015 16:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - David and Goliath (Malcolm Gladwell)The biblical story of David and Goliath is probably the most well-known underdog story in the world. Goliath is a giant warrior who battles a much-smaller shepherd boy, David. David shoots him with a stone and a sling right between the eyes, Goliath topples over, and David kills him. David and Goliath is "a metaphor for improbable victories," Gladwell explained during a Ted Talk in September. "Why do we call David an underdog? Well, we call him an underdog because he's a kid, a little kid, and Goliath is this big, strong giant. We also call him an underdog because Goliath is an experienced warrior, and David is just a shepherd. But most importantly, we call him an underdog because Goliath is outfitted with all of this modern weaponry, this glittering coat of armor and a sword and a javelin and a spear, and all David has is this sling." The first mistake history has made when retelling the tale of David and Goliath is to assume that David was a helpless boy who only had a wimpy slingshot to protect himself, Gladwell said. That's because there were three types of warriors in ancient times: people who fought with slings and archery (David), foot soldiers who were good at up-close combat with swords (Goliath), and people on horseback. Goliath was a foot soldier; David was a slinger. When put this way, and you note that Goliath and David were fighting from somewhat of a distance, it makes David's weapon choice seem smart. He's good at attacking with accuracy from afar. It also makes you understand why Goliath was in trouble the moment David whipped out his sling. If David never got close to him, how could he attack and defeat him? "Goliath is a sitting duck. He doesn't have a chance," Gladwell concludes.

Proverbs 3:5-6 - “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” The Message says, “Trust God from the bottom of your heart;  don’t try to figure out everything on your own. "You live in a time that if you lift up your feet and flow with the culture you will end up in a place you don’t want to end up." Andy Stanley The easiest person for you to deceive is YOU!  You get yourself into trouble.  We all know how we got ourselves into trouble via a series of unwise choices. What’s ok for me to do might not be ok for you to do.   What’s ok for you to do might not be ok for me to do….because of our PAST EXPERIENCE! Think about what happened…last time “it” happened or the last time you made that choice. What is the wise thing for you to do? Most people believe they can manage OUTCOMES!  “I can handle it.”  “I’ve learned my lesson…this time it will be different.” Wisdom is one of the “dominos” that will impact your life in a HUGE way.  Without wisdom the “domino” will impact your life in a HUGE way! Questions To Ask 1. Acknowledge that you have “blind spots.” 2. Honestly assess your motives, both good and bad. 3. Give others permission to speak in to your life. 01:02:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,Wisdom,Strength,St. PaulThe decisions you make daily, impacts more than you think in your life.

It gets pushed whenever someone puts us down or harshly criticizes our best efforts or makes fun of us...ridicule, scorn, slights, insults....they all hurt and often their toll is so great that the little confidence we had managed to build up disappears until we finally stop trying to do better.....Just don' let it happen to you anymore.

Eric Speir writes: In studying the lives of these great people, I've discovered 4 reasons God makes us wait: 1. Waiting Reveals Our True Motives Waiting has a way of bringing out the best and worst in people. People who don't have good motives won't wait long because they're not interested in the commitment it takes to see something through. They're too interested in short-term gains or success. Most of us have good intentions, but a lot of what we want to accomplish is an attempt to make a name for ourselves or for our own egos. It hurts to say this, but it's often true. 2. Waiting Builds Patience In Our Lives Patience in waiting for small things leads to having patience in the bigger things. If we can't wait for God to do a small thing, we certainly can't wait for something bigger. 3. Waiting Builds Anticipation Why do children get so excited around Christmas? Because the wait has produced anticipation. We tend to appreciate things the longer we have to wait for them. 4. Waiting Transforms Our Character Waiting has a way of rubbing off the rough edges of our lives. Most of us know the story of Moses delivering the Israelites from the Egyptians. It's a grand story of God doing great miracles. We married in 1988 and began our family in 1998.  Those ten years were very long and painful.  There was a purpose in the waiting.  We just didn’t see it or want to see it at the time. One of the biggest difficulties, for some, is to keep moving forward while you wait…to constantly be learning in the waiting room. Do you take opportunities to learn something while you wait? 00:52:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,Wait,WaitingMaybe life’s “delays” are meant for us to exhaust every human means possible?!?!

(Andy Stanley)You probably don’t remember the first prayer you prayed in your life. Most prayers are about asking for stuff.  Is there more to it than focusing on me? All people, who pray, run against God NOT doing what God should do. We don’t know why things don’t work out.  If we are honest, sometimes, prayer is like a “good luck charm” for some people. God seems to answer the weirdest prayers and ignores many of the serious ones.  God doesn’t seem to make sense. It would be nice if we can figure out the “code” to get our prayers answered. What if the point of prayer is NOT about getting stuff? Jesus actually taught people how to pray.  Just because you’ve been praying all your life doesn’t mean you understand it. Jesus said, “Don’t pray like the hypocrites do.” It seems location was important to Jesus when people prayed.  Jesus didn’t have respect for people who prayed, in public, to be seen. Jesus said don’t pray to be seen.  He says to pray in private.  The connection comes when you pray at one place…alone with you and God. Jesus says that God sees what we do in secret (pray) and it will be rewarded.  This is a foundational principle that Jesus taught about prayer. The God who sees you in secret will reward you!!   God doesn’t get impressed by the quality or quantity of your words.  God is NOT moved by such things. Prayer can be so simple and so heartfelt.  It’s not about how long you pray or the “floweree” words.  The pressure is off. 00:47:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Andy Stanley,Prayer,PrayingYou probably don’t remember the first prayer you prayed in your life.

He teaches that all success is based on certain principles.  It can be duplicated.  Most people are missing ingredients to be successful. Replicability is key to duplicating success in your life.  Nature is neutral.  It doesn’t care.  Based on cause and effect things happen based on those rules.  All business skills are learnable. The critical thing is to find out the skills you need in life.  Imagine you have a magic wand.  It’s a way of thinking.  Imagine if you wave a magic wand everything you want would happen. Imagine you have no limitations.  Project five years ahead and list what it would look like…write it down. The more actions you take towards your goals make you confident.  Constantly take action. Each time you fall down pick yourself back up.  To start something new the first step is the hardest. Once you get started momentum is in your favor.  When you take the first step it’s easier to see the second step.  Successful people are action oriented.  Most people are passive.  What one skill would help you in your business?  If you’re not getting better you’re getting worse.

Is it the words we use? What about the place or the time? As we examine the words of Jesus in Matthew 6, we are often surprised at the answers. God wants us to connect to him in a growing, living relationship, and this requires us to take actions we may not have considered before.Jesus launches into a discussion on prayer.  Could it be that there is more to prayer than we thought? Two thousand years ago, Jesus pulled his disciples aside and taught them to pray. In examining his instructions, we find a disconnect between his teaching and the way we typically approach prayer. We discover that there are some things about prayer we think are important but aren't; and there are some things we don't think are important that are. Perhaps prayer is not about getting what you want for your life. http://www.northpoint.org 00:41:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Andy Stanley,Prayer,The Lord's Prayer,Talking to GodAndy talks about prayer in this broadcast and talks about the differences in prayers.  Isn’t prayer just talking to God?  So what is important when we pray?

Likeability is not just an accident of nature, however; it is a set of skills that can be learned, practiced, and perfected. Tim writes: The choices other people make about you determine your health, wealth, and happiness. And decades of research prove that people choose who they like. They vote for them, buy from them, marry them, and spend precious time with them. The good news is that you can arm yourself for the contest and win life’s battles for preference. How? By raising your likeability factor. The more you are liked, the happier your life will be. InThe Likeability Factor, business guru Tim Sanders shows how to build your likeability factor by teaching you how to enhance four critical elements of your personality: Friendliness: your ability to communicate liking and openness to others Relevance: your capacity to connect with others’ interests, wants, and needs Empathy: your ability to recognize, acknowledge, and experience other people’s feelings Realness: the integrity that stands behind your likeability and guarantees its authenticity Get a bunch more information about Tim at http://www.timsanders.com/ 00:37:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Tim Sanders,Being Likeable,Likeable,How to get people to like youTim Sanders has been around for quite a few years.  The Likeability Factor defines “likeability” as “an ability to create positive attitudes in other people thrhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/27/john-carver-show--stop-bullying-nick-vujicicSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/27/john-carver-show--stop-bullying-nick-vujicic/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/27/john-carver-show--stop-bullying-nick-vujicicFri, 27 Feb 2015 17:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Stop Bullying (Nick Vujicic)Nicola Menzie writes, " Nick Vujicic, a Christian evangelist born without limbs who has inspired millions around the globe with his story of faith and perseverance, is using his new book, Stand Strong, to speak to the 3.2 million U.S. teens, and countless others around the globe, who say they have been bullied. "This is written specifically to teenagers sort of in their language. I'm very passionate about the standing strong against bullying message," Vujicic told The Christian Post. Vujicic's passion for the subject stems from his own experiences with being bullied as a child due to being born with no arms and no legs, a condition called tetra-amelia syndrome. The Australian-born evangelist has often testified of dealing with depression and attempting suicide at age 10 due to his disabilities and being targeted by bullies. Vujicic: I just tell teenagers everywhere that if three people tell you you're a bully, then you're a bully. Pretty simple, right? Even sometimes we hear someone gossiping about someone and we laugh along with it… If I start a fire in a room and you help me spread the fire, you're just as bad as I. Knowing that we don't know what our victims are going through at home, we don't know what's going on in their mind and their heart, I don't want to be someone's reason to hate their life.

R. Covey)The Speed of Trust is a book I read a few years back and it helped me see the importance of trust in every relationship.  Today's show features a short talk by the author Stephen M. R. Covey where he shares just the highlights of how critical trust really is in your life and mine. Some of the authors quotes (from his book) include: “Over time, I have come to this simple definition of leadership: Leadership is getting results in a way that inspires trust.” “I know it is possible not only to restore trust but to actually enhance it. The difficult things that we go through with the important people in our lives can become fertile ground for the growth of enduring trust – trust that is actually stronger because it’s been tested and proved through challenge... “One of the fastest ways to restore trust is to make and keep commitments – even very small commitments – to ourselves and to others. “The reality is that everybody makes mistakes. The issue isn’t whether you will make them, it’s what you will do about them. It’s whether you will choose the path of humility and courage or the path of ego and pride.” “When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you’re pledging your integrity.” “How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life? A humble person is more concerned about what is right than about being right, about acting on good ideas than having the ideas, about embracing new truth than defending outdated position, about building the team than exalting self, about recognizing contribution than being recognized for making it.” https://summaries.com/Platinum/The%20Speed%20of%20Trust.pdf (Click this link for a summary of the book) 00:19:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,The Speed of Trust,Trust,Trustworthy,Stephen M R CoveyThe Speed of Trust is a book I read a few years back and it helped me see the importance of trust in every relationship.  Today's show features a short talk byhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/23/john-carver-show--communication-in-marriage-jimmy-evansSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/23/john-carver-show--communication-in-marriage-jimmy-evans/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/23/john-carver-show--communication-in-marriage-jimmy-evansMon, 23 Feb 2015 21:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Communication in Marriage (Jimmy Evans)Jimmy and Karen Evans are the founders of Marriage Today (http://www.marriagetoday.com/about/jimmy-karen/) Since founding MarriageToday in 1994, Jimmy and Karen Evans have encouraged and coached countless couples in building rewarding marriages and healthy homes.

Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”  ? Lou Holtz I liken many people’s lives to a 16oz glass.  They only fill it with just a trickle instead of filling it all the way to the top.  Maybe they don’t see the glass as 16oz…maybe they only see a 2oz glass. “Imagine what your life would be like if you were completely uninhibited by fear, pride, or procrastination. What would you be capable of? Anything.”  ? Richie Norton “If I believe my ability is small, then my efforts will be shallow and my push weak. If I think I am not capable, I will not try with energy. Without strong belief, I won’t seek the knowledge required to achieve my goals. I will not launch out into the deep or push against obstacles with the force that confidence brings.” ?

From Chris' Website: " Chris Widener is widely recognized as one of the top speakers in the world today. He has spoken all over the world in places like Germany, Spain, Russia, China, Egypt, Singapore, Australia and of course, all over the United States and Canada. Chris speaks to groups as small as 100 and as large as 25,000 people. His clients are a “who’s who” of American businesses and organizations, including notables like General Electric, Cisco Systems, Microsoft and the Harvard Business School. Chris’ dynamic, practical and engaging speeches will have your audience laughing one minute and learning timeless truths of success the next. Chris was hand selected by two of the legends of the speaking world to work with them and he now carries on their legacy. Jim Rohn, one of the most successful speakers of the last 50 years, and also known for being Tony Robbins first mentor, made Chris his last protege and worked with Chris the last seven years of his life. Chris and Jim co-authored the Jim Rohn One Year Success Plan as well as Jim’s last book, The Twelve Pillars, which has become an international best-seller. Jim called Chris “The Leader of the next generation of personal development and leadership experts.” On today's Show I am sharing a portion of Chris' talk called "Becoming a Person Others Want to Follow." Go to Chris' website and learn so much from him.  He has, literally, stood on the shoulders of giants.  Learn from him.   00:32:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Chris Widener,Jim Rohn,Mentor,ChrisWidener.comI was, first, introduced to Chris Widener (http://chriswidener.com/) by watching videos and listening to audio material by people like Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Dehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/17/john-carver--if-jesus-lived-in-my-neighborhood-dave-stoneSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/17/john-carver--if-jesus-lived-in-my-neighborhood-dave-stone/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/17/john-carver--if-jesus-lived-in-my-neighborhood-dave-stoneTue, 17 Feb 2015 18:30:00 GMTJohn Carver - If Jesus Lived in my Neighborhood (Dave Stone)Back in the 1990's I heard a talk given by Dave Stone on Jesus living in a modern neighborhood.   Mark 10:35–45 offers several reasons why we should be servants in our community, in our work environment, and in the neighborhood in which God has placed us. Jesus said that he did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many. But what took place before Jesus said those words? Why did Jesus break into a seemingly impromptu speech on servanthood? A few verses before, in Mark 10:32–34, the disciples and Jesus are walking to Jesus' neighborhood in Jerusalem. He's explaining what is going to happen to him there: I've got some news for you. The religious leaders are going to arrest me; they're going to mock me; they're going to spit upon me; they're going to kill me. Three days later I'm going to come back from the dead. This is the opposite of a smooth segue. Jesus tells them he is going to be put to death. In verse 35, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, ask Jesus to let them have whatever they ask for. Just like a little kid says, "Hey, Mom! Just say yes, just say yes," these disciples asked for permission ahead of time. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked. They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory." Talk about being presumptuous. James and John felt they deserved seats of honor. I'm so glad none of us ever worry about things like that. We never worry about the corner office. We never ask to be first. We never want our favorite choice for dinner. Actually, we're just like these two guys. Jesus looks back at them and says: You guys don't know what you're asking. Do you drink the cup that I drink?

Procrastination Told by Supreme Master Ching Hai at the Tien Shan Center in Hong Kong (Originally in Chinese) Who Is The Laziest? There is a funny story about laziness. Three young men were lying by the roadside doing nothing. A person passed by and asked curiously, "Ah! What are you three doing here?" They said,"Oh! We are very lazy, so we are lying here. We do not want to work." The person said, "Well, if this is so, you tell me how you are lazy. I shall give one dollar to the laziest person." If one wants to be lazy, one might as well be completely lazy so that others have nothing to say. One of the lazy ones said, "I am very thirsty. I am both hungry and thirsty. I have a pear in my pocket, but I am so lazy that I cannot take it out."  Are you any better than he is? The next one said, "Well! That is nothing. The sun keeps shining in my eyes. It hurts my eyes, but I am too lazy to turn my head around."  The third person said, "Well, the two of them are not so bad. I am the laziest." He continued, "I want to go to sleep very badly. I am exhausted! But I am too lazy to close my eyes."  One of the biggest stories I share is about a boss who asks three people to invest his money.  One of the guys didn't do so well.

Notes from “The Ultimate ‘Extreme Makeover’” by Dr. David Jeremiah – Turning Point – www.turningpointonline.org Notes compiled by Jan Smith – www.wordblessings.com Page 1 QUESTION: What will our resurrected bodies be like? Paul puts before us a question: 35 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” (1 Corinthians 15:35) In the next several verses, Paul gives us some contrasts between our current bodies and the bodies we’re going to have some day. First requirement for a resurrected body is: you have to be dead. 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. (1 Corinthians 15:36) John 12:24 says this: 24 Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. (John 12:24) The second thing he’s going to teach us is that the result of resurrection is a different kind of body. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. (1 Corinthians 15:37-38) He’s saying that the body that comes out of the grave is different from the body that went into the grave. Example: if you put a kernel of corn into the ground in order for it to grow, what comes out of the ground is not the kernel, it a green stalk that looks very different. It’s a part of the kernel; it represents the kernel, but it’s not the same.  To read more from this talk to go http://www.wordblessings.com/audio/The%20Ultimate%20Extreme%20Makeover-summary.pdf   00:29:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Heaven,David Jeremiah,Extreme MakeoverThere is something about the teaching of Dr. David Jeremiah.  In this show Dr. Jeremiah is sharing a Christian's point of view of Heaven.  He talks about how thhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/10/john-carver-show--power-of-empathy-helen-reissSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/10/john-carver-show--power-of-empathy-helen-reiss/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/10/john-carver-show--power-of-empathy-helen-reissTue, 10 Feb 2015 15:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Power of Empathy (Helen Reiss)Empathy is doing something for someone and not just feeling sorry for them.  Empathy as about getting our needs responded to.  Ms. Reiss says, "Empathy is like, getting underneath the skin of another person, to merge temporarily with their experience, then getting out, to reflect on the experience.  Empathy can be taught, although a certain endowment may be inborn, research shows that it is a mutable trait.

There are financial goals...all these desires have "I" in common.  Every bride and groom walk down the aisle with a box of desires. Once the marriage happens, and without really knowing what's happening, married people take all their history and expectations on their new spouse.  Good desires become expectations.  That kind of pressure can be dangerous to a marriage.  They dynamic, instantly, changes because there are two big "I's" in the marriage. Selfishness, in a marriage, can destory expectations and can erode trust. In some marriage the "dominant" spouse thinks they're in control. It's very easy, for me, to be me.  It is very easy for you to be you. Conforming to someone else's expectations is very stressful.  We are individuals. Some marriages are based on compromise.  It goes good for a while then it starts to implode. Your focus of your attention has to be about each other.   When you settle in to compromise the marriage is an "I" marriage. Discontent can destroy what brought you and your spouse together. A desire migrated into an expectation where you say "You owe me" then romance suffers greatly.   You can get a lot more information on Andy Stanley at http://northpoint.org/       00:27:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Andy Stanley,MarriageAndy Stanley has a way of sharing insights on so many subjects.  This talk on marriage is no different.  In this talk he shares: New husbands and wives and drehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/06/john-carver-show--who-is-in-your-circleSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/06/john-carver-show--who-is-in-your-circle/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/02/06/john-carver-show--who-is-in-your-circleFri, 06 Feb 2015 18:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Who is in Your Circle?Ever since I was a kid I stuttered.  I've given more than 650 speeches and it still drives me CRAZY that I still stutter.  This sermon I stuttered quite a bit.  In fact, I edited out the times I stuttered (got stuck) the worst.  Often times I have been so discouraged and wonder why I was "chosen" to do my best to impact the world. I , literally, HATE the fact that I stutter. Regardless, I keep moving forward. In this sermon I share many stories including a story about a man who was catching crabs, there could have been doubts by some of Jesus' followers about others who were following Jesus, a story about a man raised in South Africa who moved to the USA and went to a baseball game, a bucket of water story and much more. Also, two quotes that grabbed me: “Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. “The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: 'If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?' But...the good Samaritan reversed the question: 'If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?” ?

Lessons from this talk: Stop putting others down. What you treasure is where your heart will be. Be devoted to one another via love. What you dishonor your spouse you lose affection for and from them. Anger is fear, frustration and hurt feelings. There’s a pearl in every pile of crap. Your feelings come after your thoughts. We are ALL flawed. One of the biggest traps is to get angry and stay angry. Anger is like a python…it squeezes the life right out of you. You are 100% responsible for the quality of your life. It’s not other people’s fault that you’re unhappy. Turn your worries into concerns and don’t worry about it.

Here is some more of what she said: "Acting — pretending was a matter of survival. High school is kind of like the real-world sometimes. But in the mental hospital, there was no pretending. The zig was up. We had classes about how to express how we really felt through music and art and writing. We had classes about how to be a good listener and how to be brave enough to tell our own story, while being kind enough not to tell anybody else’s. We held each other’s hands sometimes just because we felt like we needed to. Nobody was ever allowed to be left out. Everybody was worthy. That was the rule just because she existed and so in there, we were brave enough to take off our capes. All I ever needed to now I learned in the mental hospital. And so I’ve learned that if I honor my feelings as my own personal profits and instead of running I just be still but there are prizes to be won and those prizes are peace and dignity and friendship. So I received an email last week and let’s now take to my computer at home. And it just said, “Dear Glennonm, it’s braver to be Clark Kent than it is to be Superman. Carry on Warrior”. And so today I would say to you that we don’t anymore superheroes. We just need awkward, oily, honest human beings out in the bright, big, messy world. And I will see you there."

Jared Brock Jesus, even in his last hours, cared for one that society didn’t value. You would think that the people who were there to arrest Jesus would have paused and reconsidered.  They had an agenda.  They were being threatened. Jesus didn’t allow the moment to distract His momentum! John 6:38 - "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. Either you run the day or the day runs you.  — Jim Rohn The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.  — Mark Caine Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing  -  “Every time we look at the clock, we must learn to feel a sense of urgency. We must learn to realize that “now” is happening and will very soon be gone. We must look at the digits on the display and be overcome with an urge to do something before those digits change. Before “now” slips through our fingers. We must look at the ink on the calendar and see an immediate opportunity to do something wonderful, incredible, or beautiful. It’s that simple. We need to change our thinking from “when the number changes” to “before the number changes”. “Chances are no matter how bad your troubles seem to be, someone somewhere, with less resilience, has successfully conquered a more severe version of your problems.” ?

Are you moving toward what you want…or away from it? Here are ten ideas (or reminders) that can help you create and maintain momentum towards what really matters. 1. Take some time to clarify your desired future outcome. Success is seeing what you want and moving toward what you see. What is important to you? Who are you becoming? How will your intention contribute to others? 2. Use visual reminders of your intention. Get some magazines and cut out pictures and words related to your goal. Put them where you’ll see them on a regular basis, like on your bathroom mirror, in your wallet, next to your computer screen, or on a poster board. 3. Set clear goals with clear timelines. Write down what the goal is, how you will know when you have achieved it, and a date when you will have achieved it. 4. Be action-oriented. When an opportunity presents itself that fits with your vision, respond to it immediately. 5. Ask yourself, "How much and what kind of fun will I have with this project?" This will help raise your energy. If you’re dreading the process there’s a good chance your momentum is going to get stifled.

As Dr. Laura's legion of fans know and appreciate, the radio host, nationally syndicated newspaper columnist, and perennial New York Times bestselling author never skirts controversy, and here she offers an incisive and unsurprisingly plain-speaking look at the hot-button topic of how to deal with the traitorous, backstabbing "sharks" we confront in our personal and professional lives. "Every single human being on the face of the earth has been betrayed, backstabbed, undermined, screwed over, or had their reputation attacked at least once in their lives," Dr. Laura writes. "It's a horrible experience, leaving you stunned, seared, sad, and very, very angry." When subject to a stealth land shark attack, the first reaction is shock and disbelief. When attempts to shut down the betrayal fail, the typical next response is to strike back.  So, what is the source of betrayal and how do you survive it? How do you keep other peoples destructiveness from destroying you? Why some people are good and some are badThe motives that drive people to betray their friends and colleagues, including possessiveness, entitlement, competition, defensiveness, greed, jealousy, unhappiness, expedience-and just plain evilHow to know whether you've truly been betrayed, or whether you are at fault for letting it happenThe difference between daydreaming about vengeance (good) and actually seeking revenge (not so good)Adopting a philosophical approach to revengeWhen to forgive and forget (if ever)Getting on with your life after you've been betrayed00:30:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Dr. Laura Schlessinger,Betrayal,BetrayedBorn out of her own highly public encounter with betrayal and its emotional aftermath, Surviving a Shark Attack (On Land): Overcoming Betrayal and Dealing withhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/01/19/john-carver-show--paul-mckenna--i-can-make-you-confidentSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/01/19/john-carver-show--paul-mckenna--i-can-make-you-confident/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/01/19/john-carver-show--paul-mckenna--i-can-make-you-confidentMon, 19 Jan 2015 19:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Paul McKenna - I Can Make YOU Confident!On today's show I am sharing the first part of Dr. Paul McKenna's book "I Can Make You Confident." Dr. McKenna demonstrates the latest techniques to stop fear and desperation and create massive amounts of confidence and self-belief instantly, whether it's mastering the fear of public speaking or feeling more self-assured in social, business, and romantic situations.  I have to tell you, up front, that I do not believe in the hypnosis part of his material but the rest of it is OUTSTANDING. Publishers weekly says: Celebrity self-improvement guru McKenna (I Can Make You Rich) says there are only four things one needs to practice to become a naturally confident person: talk to yourself in a confident way, create positive mind pictures, use your body as if you were already confident, and take at least one risk every day. He expands on these "mind programming techniques" in such chapters as "Self Belief," "You Really Can Do Anything," "Public Speaking," "Dating and Sex," and "Leaving a Bad Situation." Throughout, he punctuates his advice with anecdotes about stressful situations involving such prominent figures as Bruce Springsteen, Buddy Hackett, and Steve Jobs, along with a sprinkling of encouraging quotes, such as Cher's comment, "If you really want something, you can figure out how to make it happen." Chapters conclude with visualization exercises, and the book is accompanied by a "Guided Hypnosis" CD. McKenna's ideas are hardly original, and many pages are redundant and written in a simplistic manner, but his followers may find this book of value nevertheless.

On the flight there were four servicemen. Before the door on the plane was closed, the pilot announced we had a number of special guests on our flight (the servicemen in uniform) and asked us to show our appreciation to them. The plane erupted in applause and cheers. It was a wonderful way to begin a flight.  A few moments later, a man and a woman in first class, got up and came back to two soldiers in the coach cabin and said, "Would you like to sit in first class?" The look on the soldiers' faces was priceless. So was the look from others in first-class looking back and many of us in the coach section. The two soldiers stood, got their bags from the overhead compartment and walked up to the first-class section and took their new seats. Amazingly, a few minutes later, another couple got up from first class and came back and did the same thing for two more soldiers. To say the least, it was a very moving experience.  As our plane lifted off and began to climb into the clouds, I couldn’t help but admire the four common, ordinary people, who may not have even been Christians. They did something uncommon and extraordinary. They served, rather than waiting to be served.”   Naaman pictured what the prophet was going to do for him and how he was going to do it. Naaman ALMOST blew it if it wasn’t for a few more “unnamed” people. Mary Hallet reminds us that “one of the most amazing things about Bible stories is their sheer restraint. With one or two deft strokes a scene is painted, a character is sketched, or an incident described....

Things that can RUIN our life and make us miserable, if we DO NOT control them. Charles Andrew "Andy" Stanley is the senior pastor of North Point Community Church Andy Stanley says: "I want to talk about the internal tension that all of us carry that’s associated with our appetites. It’s an internal tension that we carry because we all want MORE. The only word for the “appetites” in your vocabulary is MORE. When we talk about appetites, we immediately think about food or hunger, but there are a lot of appetites. There’s food and sex and….I’m sure there are a lot more. For me, I’m just looking through the lens of a guy because that’s all I’ve really been, but for you ladies who a trying to figure men out, they only have three appetites: food, sex and sleep. Just kidding. God has designed us in such a way that we are really just a big bundle of appetites and desires. And appetites also include security, and appetite for love, an appetite to be respected, to be cherished, to feel successful...All these things God designed us with, but each one of our appetites creates tension. The reason you feel tension in your life, is because one or more of your appetites are clamoring for MORE. 1. All of us in leadership have an appetite for progress. We want to see our churches or companies move forward. 2. We have an appetite for greater responsibility. You probably wish you had more responsibility, but here’s the interesting thing. Every time you get more responsibility in your organization, what do you want? MORE! 3. We want respect-recognition for what we’ve accomplished.  To learn more about Andy Stanley go to http://northpoint.org/   00:45:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Andy Stanley,Extreme,AppetiteAndy Stanley talks about OUR APPETITES.

I think life…God…brings people and situations down your path to change/mold you for the better. Years ago, we were driving home on a two lane road heading south.  Two lanes heading south and two lanes heading north.  I noticed a truck’s trailor separate from the back of his truck and was heading right toward us.  My whole family was in the car.  I yelled “Hold on!!”  I kept my eyes on the run-a-way-trailor.  I heard nothing.  I saw nothing but that trailor heading right for us.  As it got closer I swerved at just the right moment.  It missed us but hit the car behind us.  I stopped to help. There are times when you have to be thrown into a situation because you wouldn’t CHOOSE to go through that situation on your own. There are times when you are chosen to do the extraordinary for a VERY extraordinary cause.   There are times when what you are called/chosen/tasked to do there is REALLY no competition.  So, when you and I strive to become like what we think are people to emulate and copy we could be ignoring our own area of expertise…our niche. When we get our eyes on the “competition” we ignore the people God has placed in your life to make a difference. The time we are losing focused on the people who we think are our competition we become dragged away from our own development.

I once read a story that beautifully illustrates the value of cracked pots:  A water bearer in India had two large pots hanging at the ends of a pole that he carried across his neck. One of the pots was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house. The other pot had a crack in it, and by the time it reached its destination, it was only half full. Every day for two years the water bearer delivered only one and one-half pots of water to the master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments—perfect to the end for which it was made. The poor little cracked pot was ashamed of its imperfections and miserable that it could accomplish only half of what it had been designed to do. After two years of what the imperfect pot perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer and said, "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you....... All the perfect people are in heaven. “You are not weird, you’re a limited edition and God wants to use your story” Patsy Clairmont “Normal is just a setting on a dryer.” Patsy Clairmont David lost hope on many occasions.     00:54:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Broken,Broken by GodPsalm 34:18 – “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”       “Break” or “Broken” is a word that is very sensitive tohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/01/05/john-carver-show--are-you-fear-lessSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/01/05/john-carver-show--are-you-fear-less/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2015/01/05/john-carver-show--are-you-fear-lessMon, 05 Jan 2015 18:00:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - Are you Fear-LESS?I have seen, in my life, and probably your life that sometimes FEARS stands in the way of “going for it.” You want something REALLY bad in your life and FEAR stands up like a guy stopping traffic for a construction zone holding up a big STOP sign. Fear has a way of making something you want look SO SCARY that you cannot imagine overtaking it. Fear is the foundation of most people NOT reaching for their best in life. You and I have read how so many people have been held down because of FEAR in the leadership in their countries.  It goes back thousands of years. “To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.” –American teacher, writer and philosopher Bronson Alcott (1799-1888) So many times people build their LIVES on foundations that are not PROVEN…NOT SOLID! There is a FOUNDATION of FEAR that must be discovered and overtaken! The past can be a FOUNDATION OF FEAR!!  Sometimes how we FRAME the situations of our past can enable to overtake situations in our present. Living in FEAR is like building your house on Sand…not a good idea. Your deepest fear is that you may not reach what you’re striving for but what if you did make it.

This book picks up where others leave off, going well beyond observing body language clues. The first part offers a catalogue of forty-six clues to deception, divided into seven sections. Some of the clues involve the fundamentals of body language, while others use more advanced techniques and processes such as psycholinguistic emphasis and neural linguistic choice perception. Each section concludes with a summary for easy reference. The Language of the Eyes No or little direct eye contact is a classic sign of deception. A person who is lying to you will do everything to avoid making eye contact. Unconsciously he feels you will be able to see through him—via his eyes. And feeling guilty, he doesn't want to face you. Instead he will glance down or his eyes may dart from side to side. Conversely, when we tell the truth or we're offended by a false accusation, we tend to give our full focus and have fixed concentration.

This book picks up where others leave off, going well beyond observing body language clues. The first part offers a catalogue of forty-six clues to deception, divided into seven sections. Some of the clues involve the fundamentals of body language, while others use more advanced techniques and processes such as psycholinguistic emphasis and neural linguistic choice perception. Each section concludes with a summary for easy reference. The Language of the Eyes No or little direct eye contact is a classic sign of deception. A person who is lying to you will do everything to avoid making eye contact. Unconsciously he feels you will be able to see through him—via his eyes. And feeling guilty, he doesn't want to face you. Instead he will glance down or his eyes may dart from side to side. Conversely, when we tell the truth or we're offended by a false accusation, we tend to give our full focus and have fixed concentration. We lock eyes with our accuser as if to say "You're not getting away until we get to the bottom of this."

Gen. Charles Krulak, US Marine Corps. Krulak was appointed the 31st commandant of U.S. Marines Corps on July 1, 1995, a post he held until his retirement June 30, 1999. As the senior leader of the Marine Corps, he was a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with overall responsibility for recruiting, training, operational readiness, and welfare of more than 220,000 active and reserve forces and 20,000 civilian employees. During his tenure, he annually increased the USMC share of the Department of Defense budget by $1.5 billion to initiate a modernization effort that continues to benefit troops today. He also instituted the Marine Corps Fighting Laboratory, lengthened and strengthened recruit training, and fathered the concepts of "Three Block War" and "The Strategic Corporal" to help Marines better understand and prepare for warfare in the 21st century. The most important leadership trait is to be a man or woman of Character. Here, I define Character as 1) being selfless, 2) having moral courage and  3) having Integrity. Most leadership traits are "gifts"...either heredity or, if you believe in God, they are God-given. Character is a choice. You choose to be a man or woman of character. Leaders are in the inspiration business and anyone who seeks to inspire must have the character to inspire.     00:30:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,General Charles Krulak"You cannot lead by memo, you cannot lead by shouting, you cannot lead by delegation of your responsibility -- you must lead by example."

Living Bible - 1-2 Before anything else existed,[a] there was Christ,* with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. 3 He created everything there is—nothing exists that he didn’t make. 4 Eternal life is in him, and this life gives light to all mankind. 5 His life is the light that shines through the darkness—and the darkness can never extinguish it. Why would a co-creator choose to step down and become His creation?  LOVE!!!! Jesus could have chosen to appear as a fully grown man and walked into town as a wanderer but He chose to be placed in one of the smallest places possible…a mother’s womb…the creation’s womb. The co-creator who is everywhere all the time DECIDES to limit himself to a human body. We see much later Jesus…the co-creator…washes the feet of the creation and then places Himself on what He co-created and took upon Himself the penalty of sin that He didn’t commit. For me, it’s a symbol of what I need to do everyday.  That is, to surrender what I want to do for something greater. Paula White said, “Jesus stepped down to humanity to bring us up to ?divinity.” Jesus emptied Himself and became obedient to His parents…a creation themselves.

Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 "She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins." 22 Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: 23 "BEHOLD , THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL ," which translated means, "GOD WITH US." 24 And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, 25 but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus. NASB Sometimes looking for the good in a situation forces us to make tough choices.   Doing what’s right isn’t always the easy thing.  Joseph, Jesus’ adoptive Dad, could have dismissed his dream on “bad lamb” that day.  He chose to follow…   Integrity enables us to do what’s right even if no one is looking.  “It’s a terrible thing when you violate your own heart”.  Jack Hayford 00:26:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Faith Outreach Chapel,Harvest in the Forest,Christmas StoryThere's a harvest in the forest if you hunt for it.

Much of what happened in the Bible stands in the face of “normal” and “logical.” Often times our ASSUMPTIONS are WRONG! How you perceive things may not be reality! Most of us are afraid if we can’t see, feel, touch, smell or taste “it.” I once heard a sad story. There was an elephant at a circus that was chained to a pole as an infant. He tried to break away, but was not strong enough to. Over time, he became monstrous. One day, the circus accidentally went on fire, and the elephant died. He was enormous, and could have easily ripped the pole out of the ground to run away to safety, but there was a SELF-LIMITING BELIEF IN HIS MIND that told him he would not be able to do it, and so he didn’t even try. I love the words of Dick Staub: “Even the Virgin Mary didn't believe the angel who told her she would bear a child; she had never been with a man, so it would, she said, "be impossible." The angel chided her saying, "With God all things are possible." Jesus is willing to take on the impossible task of transforming us into new creatures; he can take on the world's most impossible situations and accomplish the impossible by revealing what is possible.” Who really defines what’s possible or impossible? 00:55:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Nine Feet and 1500 pounds,Faith Outreach Chapel,Impossible,PossibleSome things stand in the face of logic!

Sun Tzu said, “constant distraction of the enemy provides opportunity • probing and testing the enemy is an essential preliminary to combat • war must be thoroughly studied; weapons are only to be used when there is no alternative; where the enemy is strong, avoid him • all warfare is deception; a skilled general conceals his true disposition and ultimate intent. The Builders Complete the Wall  15 So on October 2 the wall was finished—just fifty-two days after we had begun. 16 When our enemies and the surrounding nations heard about it, they were frightened and humiliated. They realized this work had been done with the help of our God.” In her book, “A Practical Guide to Prayer,” Dorothy Haskins shares a tip that she learnt, from a noted concert violinist, about the secret of her mastery of the instrument. This is what she said, “There are many things that used to demand my time. When I went to my room after breakfast, I made my bed, straightened the room, dusted, and did whatever seemed necessary. When I finished my work, I turned to my violin practice. That system prevented me from accomplishing what I should on the violin. So I reversed things. I deliberately planned to neglect everything else until my practice period was complete. And that program of planned neglect is the secret to my success.” Haskins says we need to prioritize and do what is important. We need ‘planned neglect’. Learn to drop that which is not important.

"While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water. He came closer still and called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?” The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.” The old man smiled, and said, “I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.” Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, “But, young man, do you not realise that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely.

Proverb "This is the time when you need to build your beliefs in the face of contradicting evidence." Lisa Jimenez' Sometimes the risks you and I take lead to extraordinary experiences. “When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.” Edward Teller Your physical eyes simply weren’t created to work in the spiritual world. Walking by faith is living by what you KNOW versus what you see, feel, hear, smell and can touch. Recently, we received about an inch of snow.  When I was clearing the driveway I noticed some deer tracks.  I didn’t see the deer but I KNEW the deer had been on the driveway. God knows how thick the “ice” is in our lives. Faith is a voluntary anticipation.  Clement of Alexandria. “What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.” ? C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew “God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars.” ? Elbert Hubbard “Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark. If we truly knew all the answers in advance as to the meaning of life and the nature of God and the destiny of our souls, our belief would not be a leap of faith and it would not be a courageous act of humanity; it would just be... a prudent insurance policy.” ?

Billy Graham - "Heart Disease"On Today's Show I am reading Rev. Billy Graham's sermon called "Heart Disease." William (Billy) F. Graham Evangelist and Chairman of the Board Evangelist Billy Graham took Christ literally when He said in Mark 16:15, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” Mr. Graham has preached the Gospel to more people in live audiences than anyone else in history—nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories—through various meetings, including Mission World and Global Mission. Hundreds of millions more have been reached through television, video, film, and webcasts. Since the 1949 Los Angeles Crusade vaulted Mr. Graham into the public eye, he has led hundreds of thousands of individuals to make personal decisions to live for Christ, which is the main thrust of his ministry. Born November 7, 1918, four days before the Armistice ended World War I, Mr. Graham was reared on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina. Growing up during the Depression, he learned the value of hard work on the family farm, but he also found time to spend many hours in the hayloft reading books on a wide variety of subjects. In the fall of 1934, at age 15, Mr. Graham made a personal commitment to Christ through the ministry of Mordecai Ham, a traveling evangelist, who visited Charlotte for a series of revival meetings. “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead.  I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and help me to do your will. In your name, amen.” 00:30:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Billy Graham,Heart DiseaseOn Today's Show I am reading Rev. Billy Graham's sermon called "Heart Disease." William (Billy) F.

Here are some quotes from this amazing book: “Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.”  “You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times.  There's life in a nutshell.”  “Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.”  “Many people find it hard to understand what it is about a mountain that draws men and women to risk their lives on her freezing, icy faces - all for a chance at that single, solitary moment on the top. It can be hard to explain. But I also relate to the quote that says, Iif you have to ask, you will never understand.”  “To me, my Christian faith is all about being held, comforted, forgiven, strengthened, and loved--yet somehow that message gets lost on most of us, and we tend only to remember the religious nutters or the God of endless school assemblies. This is no one's fault, it is just life. Our job is to stay open and gentle, so we can hear the knocking on the door of our heart when it comes. The irony is that I never meet anyone who doesn't want to be loved or held or forgiven. Yet I meet a lot of folk who hate religion. And I so sympathize. But so did Jesus. In fact, He didn't just sympathize, He went much further. It seems more like this Jesus came to destroy religion and to bring life.”  “If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”  00:34:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Bear Grylls,Mud Sweat and Tears,Champion,courageOn today's Show I am sharing a small part of Bear Grylls book "Mud, Sweat and Tears."

Carrier, described in Part One, Chapter 2, solve all worry problems? No, of course not. Then what is the answer? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are: 1. Get the facts. 2. Analyse the facts. 3. Arrive at a decision-and then act on that decision. 1. When trying to get the facts, I pretend that I am collecting this information not for myself, but for some other person. This helps me to take a cold, impartial view of the evidence. This helps me eliminate my emotions. 2. While trying to collect the facts about the problem that is worrying me, I sometimes pretend that I am a lawyer preparing to argue the other side of the issue. In other words, I try to get all the facts against myself-all the facts that are damaging to my wishes, all the facts I don't like to face. So I banish about ninety per cent of my worries by taking these four steps: ? 1. Writing down precisely what I am worrying about. ? 2. Writing down what I can do about it. ? 3. Deciding what to do. ? 4. Starting immediately to carry out that decision 00:30:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Dale Carnegie,How to stop worrying and start living,John Carver Show,www.johnwcarver.comDale Carnegie's book "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" has impacted millions of lives.   Will the magic formula of Willis H.

The DECLARATION PROCEEDS THE LEAP! “Faith has to do with things that are not seen and hope with things that are not at hand.” Thomas Aquinas. 2 Corinthians 5:7  - "We walk by faith, not by sight." "So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight." This is the ESV translation; other versions use the word "live" instead of "walk". Either way, it means the same thing. "Walk" is a metaphor for the way a person lives his or her life. Donner Atwood: One night a house caught fire and a young boy was forced to flee to the roof. The father stood on the ground below with outstretched arms, calling to his son, "Jump! I'll catch you." He knew the boy had to jump to save his life. All the boy could see, however, was flame, smoke, and blackness. As can be imagined, he was afraid to leave the roof. His father kept yelling: "Jump! I will catch you." But the boy protested, "Daddy, I can't see you." The father replied, "But I can see you and that's all that matters."

Greed shows up when there’s an assumption of lack…or scarcity. Eldar Shafir writes, “it appears that poverty (or poverty of mind) itself reduces cognitive capacity. We suggest that this is because poverty-related concerns consume mental resources, leaving less for other tasks.  Shafir calls this problem bandwidth poverty. When you're bandwidth poor, you're thinking about how to pay for food and make rent today — and it's almost impossible to think about the future.” Michael Neill - The scarcer the resource, the more we are willing to give up in order to get it; the more common the resource, the less we are willing to give up in order to get it. The FEAR of not having enough is a critical form of leverage to settle for less than God’s best. Maggie Haydock shares a familiar story with a twist: Once upon a time there were three little pigs. When they turned 18, the little pigs left home to seek their fortune. Their first priority was finding shelter. The first pig built a house out of straw that he found scattered on the ground. The second pig built a house out of sticks that he scavenged from the woods....

Price was born in England in 1887. His mother died when he was two and his father later remarried a woman that Charles loved and respected. He attended college at Wesley College, in Oxford England. He immigrated to Canada in search of work with a law firm, but could not find work and ended up on a railroad crew. In frustration he went to Spokane, Washington hoping to find work there. He went to a church service at a Free Methodist Mission and was converted. He decided to stay with the mission as a worker and was eventually ordained a Methodist minister. Dr. Price came under the influence of "modernistic" or liberal theology. The teachings included the lack of belief in the bible as the Word of God, and a repudiation of the miraculous. He left the Methodist church and became Congregationalist pastor. Later he would describe this period of his life as one who was 'spiritually blind, leading his people into a ditch'. He pastored this way for twelve years. Dr. Price had the privilege of ministering under the unction and anointing of the Holy Spirit in a ministry unparalleled in these days of "signs following," where the lame walked, the blind received sight, and cripples were made whole. His God-given ministry of faith -- the faith of Jesus Christ -- continued until three days before his departure to be with his Lord on March 8, 1947. Dr. Price was known for his simple, gospel preaching that exalted Christ. He was also known for his word pictures, in which, under God, he was able to paint the tenderness and love of his Master with such clarity that those who sat under his ministry were brought into personal contact with their Lord. Although Dr. Price has gone on to be with the Lord, his message continues to be taught through the pages of his magazine, "Golden Grain."

He said that he made himself sick with worry because he hated his position in life, which he attributes to wanting to figure out how to stop worrying. The book's goal is to lead the reader to a more enjoyable and fulfilling life, helping them to become more aware of, not only themselves, but others around them.

Progress Magazine, December 14, 1992: When Billy Graham was driving through a small southern town, he was stopped by a policeman and charged with speeding. Graham admitted his quilt, but was told by the officer that he would have to appear in court. The judge asked, "Guilty, or not guilty?" When Graham pleaded guilty, the judge replied, "That'll be ten dollars -- a dollar for every mile you went over the limit." Suddenly the judge recognized the famous minister. "You have violated the law," he said. "The fine must be paid--but I am going to pay it for you." He took a ten dollar bill from his own wallet, attached it to the ticket, and then took Graham out and bought him a steak dinner! "That," said Billy Graham, "is how God treats repentant sinners!"  Psalm 118:1 - Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love (mercy) endures forever.  “Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.” —Max Lucado As Erwin Lutzer said... “Only those who see themselves as utterly destitute can fully appreciate the grace of God.”  While we were sinners, Christ died for us, said Paul, who called himself the chief of sinners.  With his background, Paul understood grace.

The most influential Americans -- the ones who tell their neighbors what to buy, which politicians to support, and where to vacation -- are not necessarily the people you'd expect. They're not America's most affluent 10 percent or best-educated 10 percent. They're not the "early adopters," always the first to try everything from Franco-Polynesian fusion cooking to digital cameras. They are, however, the 10 percent of Americans most engaged in their local communities...and they wield a huge amount of influence within those communities. They're the campaigners for open-space initiatives. They're church vestrymen and friends of the local public library. They're the Influentials...and whether or not they are familiar to you, they're very well known to the researchers at RoperASW. For decades, these researchers have been on a quest for marketing's holy grail: that elusive but supremely powerful channel known as word of mouth. What they've learned is that even more important than the "word" --what is said -- is the "mouth" -- who says it. They've identified, studied, and analyzed influence in America since the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey (now Exxon) hired Elmo Roper himself to develop a model for identifying opinion leaders, and in The Influentials, they are finally ready to share their results.  You can order a copy of this amazing book at http://www.amazon.com/The-Influentials-American-Tells-Other/dp/0743227298   00:29:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,The Influencials,Become Influencial,Influencial,John Carver ShowIn today's show I am sharing parts of Ed Keller and Jon Berry's book called "The Influencials."  ne American in ten tells the other nine how to vote, where to ehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2014/11/11/john-carver--bob-farrell--give-em-the-pickleSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2014/11/11/john-carver--bob-farrell--give-em-the-pickle/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2014/11/11/john-carver--bob-farrell--give-em-the-pickleTue, 11 Nov 2014 17:30:00 GMTJohn Carver - Bob Farrell - Give em the PickleI heard this talk years ago and want to share it with you today. Born in beautiful Brooklyn, New York, in 1927, a bouncing baby boy named Bobby Farrell was introduced to the world. His grandfather, Patrick Farrell, owned a successful auto parts company and life was good in "the old neighborhood." When the stock market crashed in 1929, it took its toll on the business and the family. Bob Farrell's father took his own life when Bob was only four years old. His mother couldn't cope and placed him and his sister in an orphanage. It was a safe place run by loving people. "I remember crying when I arrived and crying when I left," Bob would later recall, "I'm sure I gave those poor people a harder time than they gave me." His mother remarried five years later and got her children back. In 1973, Bob Farrell sold his fifty-five store chain of ice cream parlors to the Marriot Corporation. He remained as its spokesperson and they added nearly a hundred more stores. It was during this time that he developed a speech for new employees called, "Give 'em the Pickle!", based on a letter he received from a disappointed customer. This speech began the third chapter of his career as a highly sought-after motivational speaker and author.

He began his writing career at age 13 as a "mountain reporter" for small town newspapers and went on to become America's most beloved motivational author. His classic work, Think and Grow Rich, continues to inspire millions to believe and achieve and is a cornerstone of the modern self-actualization movement. Before passing, Hill established the Foundation as a nonprofit educational institution whose mission is to perpetuate his philosophy of leadership, self-motivation, and individual achievement. Think and Grow Rich is the number one inspirational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals by learning from important figures in history. The text read in this audio book is the original 1937 edition written by Napoleon Hill, and while it has often been reproduced, no updated version has ever been able to compete with the original. It has been used as a roadmap to achievement by countless individuals. The 13 Steps to Riches offers the shortest dependable philosophy of individual achievement ever presented for the benefit of anyone who is searching for a definite goal in life. Hill interviewed 504 people, including Ford, Wrigley, Wanamaker, Eastman, Rockefeller, Edison, Woolworth, Darrow, Burbank, Morgan, Firestone, and three United States Presidents. The process of conducting these interviews required an investment of 20 years of Napoleon Hill's life.

If you do that, you’re in control of your life. If you don’t, life controls you.” – Tony Robbins “One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.” - Tony Robbins “The only problem we really have is we think we’re not supposed to have problems! Problems call us to higher level- – face & solve them now!” - Tony Robbins “Your past does not equal your future.” - Tony Robbins “For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent.” - Tony Robbins “I discovered a long time ago that if I helped enough people get what they wanted, I would always get what I wanted and I would never have to worry.” - Tony Robbins This show shares just a few segments from Tony Robbins "LIVE WITH PASSION!"  Pick up a copy at  http://www.amazon.com/Live-Passion-Stategies-Creating-Compelling/dp/0743525213   John Carver johncarver@wildblue.net     00:37:00THEJOHNCARVERSHOWnoJohn Carver,Tony Robbins,Live with PassionIn the 1990's Anthony Robbins (http://www.tonyrobbins.com/) produced "Live with Passion."  Here is some of the wisdom from Anthony (Tony) Robbins: “The secrethttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2014/11/05/john-carver-show--how-the-world-sees-you-by-sally-hogsheadSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2014/11/05/john-carver-show--how-the-world-sees-you-by-sally-hogshead/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thejohncarvershow/2014/11/05/john-carver-show--how-the-world-sees-you-by-sally-hogsheadWed, 05 Nov 2014 17:30:00 GMTJohn Carver Show - How the World Sees You by Sally HogsheadOnce you know what makes you valuable to others, you’re more authentic and confident and more able to make a positive impression.

The last 20 yards from the opponent's goal line. It's difficult to score there because the defending team can concentrate its efforts. Likewise, the offensive team has less area in which to maneuver. It takes the focused and precise execution of all players doing their assigned tasks to advance the ball in the Red Zone and score. In business and in every other area of life, we encounter many Red Zones-situations where the pressure is on and our "wiggle room" is limited.  A STRONG AND SUCCESSFUL LIFE NEEDS A SOLID FOUNDATION!

Malcolm Gladwell redefined how we understand the world around us. Now, in Blink, he revolutionizes the way we understand the world within. Blink is a book about how we think without thinking, about choices that seem to be made in an instant-in the blink of an eye-that actually aren't as simple as they seem. Why are some people brilliant decision makers, while others are consistently inept? Why do some people follow their instincts and win, while others end up stumbling into error? How do our brains really work-in the office, in the classroom, in the kitchen, and in the bedroom? And why are the best decisions often those that are impossible to explain to others?
