Takeaways from this Episode
How do you find the nourishment in the scriptures that the Lord has planned for his people to enjoy, learn from and guide their lives? Chuck talks about how the Bible changed his life and how it can transform the lives of others.
- Be accountable. You should solicit the advice of a trusted family member and a friend who will be transparent with you.
- Take God very seriously, but don’t take yourself that seriously. You’re the only one who thinks that you’re a big deal, but it’s by the grace of God that you have a voice.
- Stay fresh. Keep thinking of the scriptures as if it was the first time you’ve read them. Chuck says that he still finds new epiphanies.
- Guard against familiarity. You’re dealing with truth all the time. If you’re not careful, it becomes perfunctory, business as usual. If that happens, you need a break.
- Quickly admit being wrong. Don’t hide it. Say you made a mistake or admit it. Call yourself out when you judged or lost your temper, and be forthcoming.
- Stay positive. Chuck said that he learned about the secret of happiness from a member on his team. He says that you have to have something to do, you have to have something to love, and you have to have something to look forward to.
