Get it? Jesus came to seek and save “that” which was lost, not just “those” that were lost. I’m not playing a game of semantics. This makes a HUGE difference. Basically, three things were lost in Adam and Eve’s fall in the garden: 1) Man’s vertical relationship with God, 2) Man’s horizontal relationship with people, and 3) The marketplace was cursed (thorns and thistles).

OK, so what difference does that make? When Jesus rose from the dead 2000 years ago, He redeemed all three things that were lost. However, because of free will, it’s our responsibility to reclaim those.

I am convinced that the Body of Christ as a whole must develop a new mindset in order to reclaim the marketplace for Jesus Christ. Way too many followers of Jesus have a poverty mentality which is keeping them from fulfilling their God-given assignments. Where do you stand on this?

Yesterday morning I received an email from Kevin Nations titled “If you EVER want to make money with teleseminars – Get on this call TODAY…” Kevin is well known in top Internet Marketing circles as “The Big Ticket Guy.” In his email, Kevin wrote:

“Do you really want to make a small fortune working from home and helping people by sharing your ‘gift’? Ever thought – “If more people knew about what I could do for them, then I’d be able to help more of them and make a TON of money in the process?” The BEST way I’ve seen to get this message out and to connect with a large audience with your personal message has been through teleseminars. And Lisa Sasevich is holding a training today that is a MUST HEAR if you EVER plan to use teleseminars in your client-getting efforts. Drop whatever you’re doing and get on this call today!”

I chose to receive the blessing that God was passing along through Kevin. As a result, I participated in the outstanding FREE teleseminar by Lisa Sasevich titled “”5 Simple Secrets to 6-Figure Teleseminars: How to make BIG FAST MONEY doing what you LOVE!” Wow! Wow! Wow! I discovered the reason Lisa is known as “The Queen of Sales Conversion” in the Internet world.

Before going to bed last night, I discovered that Lisa will be doing an ENCORE TELESEMINAR on Saturday July 25 at 1:30 PM EDT (10:30 AM PDT). This morning, the Holy Spirit prompted me to share the blessing with YOU.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28: 18-20)

The following thoughts require the need for a “paradigm funeral” of old school thinking and a renewed mind of defining success the Jesus way. These thoughts are intended to get some conversations going in your part of the world:

1. Jesus defines “success” as the bottom line of whether or not we are making disciples.

2. Discipleship is almost entirely relational in a combination of small group and one on one culture, outside of church meetings, and especially through the influence of healthy conversations from healthy families around the table.

3. Discipleship assumes we are “going into all of our world” (most of what we do outside of church meetings) to make #1 and #2 above happen. That makes “sending capacity” a better benchmark of success than “seating capacity”.

4. The end game of discipleship is for nations to be discipled (Rev. 21:24-27) so the “burning bush vision” for the church is to equip members to make disciples in the places that shape a nations; at work in the major spheres of vocations that shape the culture.

5. We have made discipleship more of a “teaching commission” at the expense of a “training omission” (v.20). Action steps that integrate and align our daily behaviors with kingdom values and Jesus commands is more hitting the mark than “fill-in-the-blank” lectures or sermon series. (Note: It only takes 45 minutes to read the teaching content of Jesus words given us in scripture.)

Recently Bill Hybels of Willow Creek authentically announced that his “seeker-friendly”congregation did not produce transformational change in the lives of its members; meaning they were not discipled. George Barna’s extensive research in the discipleship deficit in the American church brought him to the unfortunate position of an anti “organized church” position. I believe that Lifeforming can offer a way forward in this debate.

I am giving my life to the core value that Transformational Coaching is a key to making more and better disciples in our nations. Here is why:

1. It consistently targets the core factor of making a disciple; hearing God’s voice. Every religion makes disciples but a disciple of Jesus is led by Him personally (not just His principles) and has the “unfair advantage” of knowing that voice (John 10:3) in the unique design that we are created to respond to that voice (Psalm 139: 13-16).

2. It consistently maximizes the core delivery to make a disciple; a non-judgmental relationship with someone who seeks to 100% believe in you as the Father does, 100% work with you in what the Spirit is prioritizing, and 100% enable you to take ownership for your own development and progress.

3. It consistently models the authentic spiritual authority of stewarding transformation to another by first having been transformed ourselves in the same manner (2 Timothy 2:2). UNTIL SPIRITUAL FATHERS AND MOTHERS ARE DISCIPLED THEMSELVES TRANSFORMATIONALY THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON PROGRAMS AND METHODS THAT ARE INFORMATION TRANSACTIONS MORE THAN LIFE TRANSFER.

4. It consistently produces the kind of community that is compelling and engaging of the spiritual hunger in our cultures that are seeking life-giving spiritual relationships when they turn to Christ. Lifeforming’s Transformational coaches know how to catalyze authentic relationships in organizations that shift those cultures to environments that accelerate personal development in the context of the organization’s mission.

Lifeforming Leadership Coaching has a key role to play in restoring the Great Commission in Matthew 28. We are about the Father’s business of making disciples the Jesus way. This is not an option; it is a mandate.

Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips. (Proverbs 27:2)

How much value do you place on the testimonies
of those who a person well?

The praises and testimonies you are about to read all came from friends who know me very well – people who have personally experienced the fruit of my journaling. I met nearly all of them since reading “The Greatest Salesman In The World” in 2000. Next to the Bible that book influenced me more than any other I have ever read.

Each person sharing his or her praise has made a big difference in my life and I have made a big difference in theirs. That is what covenant relationships are all about – two-way relationships in which people meet the needs of one another and bless one another.

Our God is a “covenant God” – a God of covenant relationships. Very few followers of Jesus fully grasp the significance of this in terms of their relationships with other people and their success in the marketplace.

One of the five laws of sowing and reaping is that you reap where you sow. In other words, if I sow good seed into your life, it is reasonable to expect a harvest from you. To put it another way, when someone blesses me, God expects me to bless them.

One of the reasons the Jewish people prosper so greatly as a whole in the marketplace is they understand covenant relationships and the principles of sowing and reaping.

The Holy Spirit prompted me to include hyperlinks to the websites and blogs of those who have impacted me greatly because I am a CONNECTOR IN CHRIST. Though me, God is connecting YOU to these life and world changers. Contact them as the Holy Spirit leads you. These people can and will open doors for you. They will partner with some of you. As the Nike slogan says, “Just do it!” Or as God says, “Be strong and of good courage!”

“I don’t know anyone that has become a student, or master, of journaling to the level of Randy Peck. He has a passion for sharing with others, the gifts of journaling – some of those gifts include focus, organization, personal life impact and the simple yet powerful capture of life’s moments and memories.

Randy has probably spent a good part of a year distilling, developing and perfecting how to best communicate, share and teach others the life transforming skill of journaling. He conducted several online webinars/seminars that gave him the opportunity to optimize the best way to share his material. In addition, he now has several testimonies of people that have benefitted from learning and applying journaling in their lives. Many are now reaping the life changing impact of this powerful habit, that Randy himself has benefitted from personally for several years.”

There is so much to be said about the spoken word. The Bible says in the beginning God spoke and the Holy Spirit was hovering over the water to respond to the spoken word. In the same way the prophets prophesied and the Holy Spirit was there to respond to the word. Through journaling, the word is written, again the Holy Spirit is there to respond to the word. I see an incredible awakening in the spirit of people who journal. Thoughts are written and later reflections in the journal reveal how the Holy Spirit has intervened. It’s amazing. It’s supernatural. It’s a real spirit builder. Scales begin to fall off your eyes and humbles one to desire the will of God.

I met Randy right around the time that he began his faith walk with Jesus. We struck up a friendship that has lasted and grown. I may have been one of the first people to introduce Randy to journaling. Randy, though, is a voracious and quick learner. What I casually suggested as a simple tool and habit, Randy has latched onto, perfected, and used as the cornerstone of personal and spiritual growth. Today, I am learning from him in the arena of journaling and personal leadership. Randy may be the most organized, focused, productive person I know. He attributes most of his personal development and success to journaling, and as a close friend who would love to achieve half of what Randy accomplishes, I would agree: Journaling is the lead domino in his life.

You are the power networker who has brought us all together. Thank you for being such a willing servant.

You are the most positive person I know… I’ve admired your perseverance this year … you have touched so many lives and God has given you convergences with the leaders in social marketing. God has trained you for this and He’s going to use you in consulting projects that are Kingdom building and exactly in step with the desires of your heart. With your intercessors on board I feel it happening right now!!!

Randy is the greatest dreamer I have ever known!

LORD, help us to be better Samaritans… That is our primary command . And this story (Good Samaritan) is the essence of the MTC story… And this is the story that we ask You to help us tell the world… And as I was thinking about this word Samaritan, I can’t think of anyone who better exemplifies ‘Samaritan’ than Randy.” (Virginia’s prayer on Feb 10, 2009)

I have developed strong relationships with almost every coach I have ever been blessed to work with, but the relationship between Randy and me has proved to be very special. While he has been an extremely receptive student of coaching, I would have to say that I often feel I have learned more from working with Randy than he could possibly have learned from me. He has truly become my peer mentor.

You can’t be around Dr. Randy Peck very long without hearing him tell about how journaling has impacted his life. Randy shares freely and frequently with all how journaling has, time after time, helped him to put together the “pieces of the puzzle” and brought him clarity on how God is speaking to him. As he puts it, journaling continues to be the “lead domino” of his life. The benefits he has realized from recording his own daily walk of faith have led him to develop a system which can be taught to others.

God has inspired Randy to set some “God-sized” goals for his personal life, one of which is to impact one billion souls for Christ. I believe that his development of this journaling system falls right in line with this goal, in that the intent is to influence every recipient in such a way that they too will begin to see more clearly through journaling how God is speaking to them each day, that they will therefore be able to share these God-experiences with others. Thank-you, Dr. Peck!

When we look back in American History it seems evident that more than a few of our founding fathers really had a deep love for the new nation. It is increasingly rare to find leaders today who give you a sense that they really love their city, state or country. More often than not civic leaders today seem more concerned with themselves and their political careers than with the people they supposedly serve. I had the privilege of meeting someone recently who actually appears to genuinely love the city and state in which he resides. He is Dr. Randy Peck. Randy has such a love for his city Culpeper and Virginia that it exudes out of him in almost every conversation he holds. It is said that one speaks out of the abundance of his heart and I can testify that Dr. Peck has both Culpeper and the state of Virginia deep in his heart. I have never met someone who has such a genuine love for his city and state as this man.

Hi Randy & Julia, AJ and I can’t thank each of you enough so that you would know how much you blessed us over the weekend. You are such a great couple. Your hospitality was tremendous and we really enjoyed just being in your home and company. Your group really blessed AJ and me. It is truly the first success story we have had. We have never had anyone come alongside us like the two of you. It is truly a God send. Randy, you have an amazing gift that transcends any single gift. You go wide and deep in your thinking and planning. Your mind doesn’t stop.

Hi Randy, Thank you so much. Your group was far and away the best group I have ever met. I’ll never forget the meeting we had following the process. (January 29, 2009)

Dr. Peck brings many innate qualities that are essential for a successful person. His organizational skills are without equal – no one I’ve ever met has been more organized yet thoughtful of any task before him… An outstanding personal character trait is the simple- his word is his bond, he always did what he said he would do and worked tirelessly to fulfill his obligations both on an administrative and personal level… A great team player he gave freely of himself to instruct, but was also willing to listen to others- he could see the Big Picture through the prism of all the necessary details.

P.S. If you’re a small thinker and don’t want your faith to soar, this book is definitely not for you. But if you believe in a BIG God who has destined you for greatness, then you’ve come to the right place.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19a)

What is your dream?
What people, ideas, and resources do you need to help you achieve that?

In my devotional on November 7 titled “Discerning the Voice of the Lord,” I mentioned that I would be sharing part of a fantastic story that is unfolding. Little did I know that God would quickly add several more chapters to His-story in such a short while.

In the morning on November 8, Jeff Bernstein, my Messianic Jewish friend with a ministry to Jewish people in the New York City metropolitan area, called to ask if he could visit me in Culpeper on his way back home from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. He arrived at our home around 9:30 PM and stayed overnight. This was the first time Jeff stayed at our home.

The next morning after a few hours of delightful conversations, my wife (Julia) and I took Jeff for breakfast in downtown Culpeper. Pranas Rimeikis, the mayor of Culpeper, happened to be eating breakfast at this same restaurant. To my amazement, God opened the door for Jeff to minister to him and begin a faith discussion. This in turn opened the door for me to mention to Pranas that Stephanie Klenzig, the mayor of Elk River Minnesota, was planning to visit Culpeper in February 2008. I told Pranas I’d like our local government officials to meet her and for him to read The Elk River Story book to learn more. I’ve been praying about this for months.

At 7 PM on November 8, Michael Stay and I had a short phone conversation with Ted Baehr. Afterwards we called one another to discuss our impressions and where to go from there.

During our conversation, Michael told me that Ron Paul recently raised $4.2 million in 24 hours from 35,000 people for his Presidential campaign. That quickly got the attention of media leaders, opening the door for Ron Paul to be interviewed on CNN and other major TV networks. I’ve been following Ron Paul for a while and in my professional opinion as an Internet marketing specialist, he is doing the best job by far of any political candidate to use the Internet effectively. His tremendous results demonstrate the power of social (viral) marketing.

Michael also told me that he is going to do a prestige introduction for me to Gary Edmonds, the head of Breakthrough Partners [www.breakthroughpartners.org]. I learned this organization does three things: 1) Catalyze – new initiatives, 2) Connect – people, ideas, and resources, and 3) Coach – churches to wholistically impact their communities. That’s amazing because it’s very similar to what I do.

So what? What does all this have to do with you? Lots. By sharing my journey as God’s story unfolds, it’s my hope that you will better recognize God’s hand in your life, your dream will become clear, you will get connected to people, ideas, and resources to help you achieve that dream, and that you will choose to be coached and coach others.

Prayer Power
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Let the heavens rejoice! Father, thank You for You. Thank You for Your presence and Your favor. Thank You for all these breakthroughs in my life, which come from Your doing, not mine. Inspire my readers to expect and experience many more breakthroughs in their lives. Teach them to catalyze, connect, and coach. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
