Quotes from Episode 584

The perfectionist actually feels unworthy, and because they feel unworthy, they have to work hard and become a perfectionist to receive validation, to get recognition, to get praise. - @JonGordon11 Click To Tweet We spend billions of dollars in pain medications and other sources to try to mask the pain that we feel, to try to cover that hole in our soul, but it actually leaves us feeling more empty. - @JonGordon11 Click To Tweet You can't fill a spiritual void with physical things. - @JonGordon11 Click To Tweet If you look at the circumstance and you believe it has power over you, that lowers your state of mind, and now the circumstance has power and you become powerless. - @JonGordon11 Click To Tweet

Gloo

Are you ready to revolutionize the way your church connects with your community?

Then you’re going to want to learn about the Gloo Explorer Connection Platform.

Here’s how it works.

Gloo partners with renowned Christian outreach campaigns like He Gets Us, K Love, and Churches Care. These campaigns are already reaching and inspiring millions of people across the country.
When someone is inspired by these incredible campaigns to explore faith and wants to connect with a church, all they have to do is send a text.
That’s right! Just by texting in, Gloo’s innovative platform will seamlessly introduce them to a local church in their area.
A pastor, ministry leader, or volunteer receives a notification on the platform and can build a connection through texting.

What’s really inspired me to share this message is that Gloo has already made over 170k connections between explorers and local churches.

This just works!

So what are you waiting for? Create your account today.

People in your community want to connect with a church and now there’s an easy way to be there for them.

All you have to do is go to get.gloo.us/reach to sign up and join a growing number of churches that are transforming their outreach strategies and bringing more people into their church families.

Compassion

I’d like to highlight a ministry that is all about the local church – Compassion International. Compassion’s mission is to release children from poverty in Jesus’ Name and they fulfill their mission by partnering with churches located in areas with extreme poverty.

Did you know that every sponsored child, all 2.2 million, are cared for by a local church in their community? Every single one.

Compassion partners with over 8400 churches in the developing world, which means if your church partners with Compassion, you are helping a pastor and church reach its community with the love of Jesus.

If you are a church leader, Compassion provides valuable resources for your congregation, too.

As a pastor, Compassion offered our church an amazing opportunity for outreach. It allowed everyone in our church to be personally engaged in missions – I trust Compassion and they made it easy for me as a lead pastor.
