Engage, Give

10/12 6am power w/Elvis

Engage. I love starting off with core. It get me balanced and set for practice right away. Really, your core should be engaged the entire time. Core brings warmth and depth. It's a fundamental. It's the same reason, really, why I have "remember Jesus" on my forearm. If you lead a Bible study, sing in the church, serve the homeless and mentor youth but forget the saving gospel of Jesus Christ, your faith isn't alive as it looks. Jesus is the cornerstone of the Christian life. Forget Him, and watch the kingdom you've built for yourself crumble.

10/12 noon power w/Devyn

Give. Today, Devyn had some sad news right before class. As an instructor, you want to give your best to your class, and sometimes it's really really hard. You'd rather be anywhere else. But you have to do what you have to do. Elizabeth likes to say, "If you can't get out of it, get into it." Class today was even sweeter to me knowing that it came from a raw place in Devyn. When you give yourself like that, people respond. And you might find that you've received even more than what you gave.

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. Jim Elliot 

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10:39
