COT/Bullhorn:
Spoke to the PAX about operating in an environment and thought process of fear, specifically from a position of a fear of failure as a business leader, husband and father. Also being mindful of allowing guilt and shame to creep into our self talk. Jesus never spoke, and never speaks, to us in the form of fear, shame and guilt. These are workings of the devil. Big Bang and Razor offered some additional words of wisdom here for the group. Much appreciated. Closed in prayer for our fellow brothers and to live today in a way that honors God.
It was a pleasure to lead you men this morning. Thanks for coming out on a cold, snowy morning.
Peace out,
Umbrella
