The Disruptors Episode 11: God Ideas and Witty Inventions

2/13/2018

Our topic for this episode is “God Ideas & Witty Inventions.” In honor of Black History Month, our Bible study included how God used the ingenious Dr. George Washington Carver to change the agricultural economy of Georgia and the Southeastern United States. We discuss how his story is reminiscent of another scientific miracle that occurred in the Bible. Enjoy and share!

You can watch it here or listen to the audio of The Disruptors Podcast in my mobile app. I also encourage you to join us for our next live broadcast next Monday at 8:30 PM est.

3 Reasons Why Your Vision Board Could Be a Waste of Time

1/3/2015

It's "that" time again. What is "that" time you ask? At the beginning of the year it is very common to see many coaches and trainers offering vision boarding workshops and seminars as a way to help people visualize their dreams and goals for the year. Vision boarding can be a very powerful tool if utilized as part of an overall process of transformation, but it definitely is not as a silver bullet for success. Just because you create a vision board doesn't mean you will accomplish that vision - even if you look at it every day all day.

Your vision boarding exercise will be a frustrating waste of time for the following three reasons:

No written plan with specific goals and deadlines. A vision without a written plan is a fantasy. Without clarified vision, measurable goals, specific tasks, and trackable timelines, your vision board will become a nightmare of dissatisfaction and unfulfilled potential. This is a key reason why most people's New Year resolutions are in shambles before the end of January.
No structured system of accountability. Without a written process and people to help you stay the course, your vision will be like a balloon that floats high in the sky and then pops. Your vision board will be full of nice pictures, but your life will lack the reality of what you envisioned. Ideally after you have complete your vision board you should connect with another person or group of people who are all committed to helping one another stay focused on utilizing a written plan to implement the vision. This is also critical because according to Habukkuk 2:2-3, a written vision and plan will attract people and resources, and allow you to delegate tasks to those who are most qualified to assist you with accomplishing your vision.
Does not align with God's vision for your life. I save the most critical reason for last. Proverbs 16:2 teaches us, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps." And Ephesians 2:10 states, "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." You can spend a lot of time creating a vision board - and you may even accomplish many of those things - but if God is not the source and the center of what you're doing you could in essence "gain the world and lose your soul." This doesn't mean you're pursuing bad things. However, it could mean that you are pursing things that weren't God-ordained for you and cause you to waste precious time.

I'm definitely a proponent of vision boards, but I'm not of a fan of getting people hyped up and started on something and then not equipping them with the tools they need to finish the process. If you don't have a God-directed plan, structured process, and committed team of people your implementation will be lacking and your vision will fail to come to pass.

If you're interested in taking the next step from vision boarding to Dream Mapping please contact me today at [email protected] or (678) 310-3017.

7 Biblical Strategies to Monetize Your Imagination

12/2/2014

Special Teleconference Recording

Everything that we experience in life is the manifestation of an idea. The universe, earth, and mankind were all once ideas in God's imagination before they came into being. In fact in Genesis 1:1-3, God gives us His formula for bringing ideas into reality, and it starts with your imagination. Why? Because how you utilize your imagination is central to manifesting the resources need to accomplish God's vision in the earth.

Your God-given imagination is more powerful than you realize. And when it's under the control of the mind of Christ and the tutorship of the Holy Spirit your possibilities are endless, including how you create income streams for your business and household. After all, He gave us the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18), the knowledge of witty inventions (Proverbs 8:12), and He said He would lead us in the way that is profitable (Isaiah 48:17). Even your faith is connected to your imagination based on Hebrews 11:1.

Recently I recorded a teleseminar entitled, 7 Biblical Strategies to Monetize Your Imagination. The focus of this training session was to help you understand how to unlock the incredible gift He gave you to accomplish the strategies and plans that He has for you.

This MP3 is available for only $4.90 if you include the 30% discount (more than likely less than you'll pay for lunch today :)

Don't sit on your potential any longer. It's time to unleash what God gave you!

I look forward to your feedback. Please leave your comments below...

Why Men Need Visions and Dreams by Dr. Myles Munroe

11/11/2014

A few days ago a major shock reverberated through the Christian world. Dr. Myles Munroe, his wife, and 7 other precious lives were killed in a tragic plan crash in Freeport, Bahamas while on their way to a leadership conference. Dr. Munroe was more than just a TV preacher. He was one of the most profound Biblical teachers the world has ever known. His books, such as Kingdom Principles, In Pursuit of Purpose, and Maximize Your Potential, helped me develop a deep understanding of the Kingdom of God on the earth and my role in it.

In this message below, recorded a few years ago at Bishop T.D. Jakes Manpower Conference, he discusses the profound need for men to have dreams and visions that are connected to their God-given purpose. Watch and apply...

Dr. Munroe will definitely be missed, but his powerful Kingdom teachings for men and women of God will live on.

The Deception of Good Ideas

7/31/2014

This is an excerpt from a chapter of my highly anticipated new book, Inc. My Dream: A God Inspired Process To Turn Your BIG Into A Dream Business. Learn more about this resource for business startups and those who need a fresh start in your business at www.incmydream.com.

************

You have probably heard it said that good ideas are “a dime a dozen.” It is really fairly easy to come up with a “good” idea for a business. However, while these ideas may seem good at the time of conception, they are not necessarily good for you. Why is that?

Every idea that comes to your mind is not meant for you to do. Moreover, ideas you see working for other people may not be meant for you to do. You must identify what God has called you to do and stick to that. Many Christians spend a lot of time dealing with trial and error in their businesses, because they don’t take the time to get all the needed instructions from God. And while He redeems our time and experiences, some trials could be avoided and time could be saved by only doing what God has truly told us to do, not just allowed us to do.

Do you realize that having the mind of Christ is more than helping us think pure thoughts and make the right decisions? Although, these aspects are critical to a holy human life, they are not the only qualities of Christ's mind that were meant to benefit us here on the earth.
