Do you ever have those moments where you know God is in the story that is unfolding for you? In this weeks podcast we sit down to talk about the presence of God in our everyday moments and  the people he is using to influence you through the power of their story. We are influenced daily through social media, podcast, audio books, and the endless marketing for our time and attention. It's time to filter through and see God's vision for our life versus what the world is trying to dictate. www.leadwithcoffee.com Email us @ [email protected] Follow us: Facebook  Instagram

It's a new year and if you haven't already, it's time to start setting the goals you want to accomplish in 2023.  We have been talking about dreaming big since we first attended Bob Goff's Dream Big Conference in February of 2020.  What we learned at the conference was to think outside of our comfort zones and go after things that are seem impossible.  The only way to go from impossible to reachable is to take the first step.  That first step could be writing down the dream.  Or if you have it written down already then decide what is the first thing you can do to move toward that goal?  It could be as easy as watching a YouTube video on how to do something.  It could be making a phone call to someone that can help you.  Or it could be updating your resume and submitting it to that company you want to work for. Accomplishing our goals doesn't happen in a day.  It takes time to get to where we want to be.  If you take a small step toward them each day, you will be able to look back to see how far you have some.  So get out there and starting dreaming, and then step into it!

2022 was hard for a lot of us for so many different reasons.  If we are not careful, we can get stuck on all of the bad things happening around us.  Things that we can't even control like politics, cost of living, and sometimes its unexpected health issues or problems at work.  It takes a conscious determination to focus on all of the good that we experienced throughout the year.  It takes a shift in our mentality to decide how we are going to react. So instead of focusing on the bad, what if we close out last year by reflecting on all the growth that happened. If you journal, take notes, or have a To Do List, spend some time going through them to help remember all of the experiences you had.   I use the Full Focus Journal for this.  Write a list of your wins from 2022.  You can even use social media and review your posts from last year.  We usually only post the good stuff anyway!  Spend some time reflecting on those wins.  Keep the list and look at it daily as you begin to plan your goals for 2023. www.leadwithcoffee.com Email us @ [email protected] Follow us: Facebook  Instagram   Full Focus Journal - https://fullfocusstore.com/  

Today we are pulling an episode from the vault.  This discussion is related to something we listened to in the middle of 2020.  Donald Miller was discussing the difference between being a hero and being a guide.  One goes for all of the glory and the other helps someone else get the glory.  As a leader, which role do you play?
