šļø INTRO
Shalom, and grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome to The Notes I Leave podcast.
The Hebrew word āshalomā signifies more than mere peace; it signifies wholeness, completeness, well-being, harmony with God and others. All of which, I wish for you.
The purpose of this podcast is to share the diverse experiences I encounter as a professor, teacher, entrepreneur, student, father, son, brother, and follower of Christ Jesus. These notes are intended for you, now and in the future.

š MAIN MESSAGE
š This weekās theme:
In this episode, I discuss how the Lord has placed on my heart the testing of this world but our citizenship of His kingdom.
š Anchor verse(s):
15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, āSimon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?ā He said to Him, āYes, Lord; You know that I love You.ā He said to him, āTend My lambs.ā 16 He said to him again a second time, āSimon, son of John, do you love Me?ā He said to Him, āYes, Lord; You know that I love You.ā He said to him, āShepherd My sheep.ā 17 He said to him the third time, āSimon, son of John, do you love Me?ā Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, āDo you love Me?ā And he said to Him, āLord, You know all things; You know that I love You.ā Jesus said to him, āTend My sheep.
John 21:15-17, New American Standard Bible, 1995
š Application or takeaway:
The Lord has placed on my heart the need to feed His lamb/sheep.

š TRANSITION TO MEMBERS
That is the heart of what the Lord laid on me this weekābut for those of you walking this journey further with me, there is a deeper side I want to share; in the members-only section, Iāll be opening up about how this career change challenged me as a father and a disciple.
But first, I would like to leave you with a quote and question.
š Quote:
āThe church that cannot worship must be entertained. And men who cannot lead a church to worship must provide the entertainment.ā
āA.W. Tozer
āļø Question:
Are our actions contributing to entertainment of the goat or feeding of the sheep?

šÆļø PRAYER AND BLESSING
Father, thank You for guiding usāeven when the path is not clear to us. Teach us to walk in humility, trust, and obedience.
Until next time, may the peace of Christ dwell richly in you and may I express āmaranatha,ā which is an Aramaic word translating to āCome, Lord Jesus.ā
