Most if not all of us are experiencing our first pandemic. So, how should we live and lead through this crisis with hope, confidence and effectiveness? Well, here are some key principles/practices from Philippians 4 to help us do just that.
Steps:
- Process the Pandemic
- Experience His Presence
- Practice His Power.
Key Takeaways:
- A microbe is ravaging the planet, but at least our gallows humor & memery is strong. I share some of my favorites.
- I thought the storyline of this pandemic sounded familiar even though nothing similar has happened in my lifetime. Then, I remembered The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, which was published in the late 1800s. Here’s why that story is still relevant.
- Why Philippians 4, written by Paul from a jail cell to people living in a center of the defeated Greek empire, is especially relevant during this crisis.
- A story about chicken wings and my brother’s incredible ability to live joyfully despite a crushing (and I do mean crushing) childhood disappointment.
- Awesome quote from the Lord of the Rings: “I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
- Why we should be like toilet paper in this pandemic.
