Live Your Calling:
I have learned that God's plans for me are more extraordinary than anything I could imagine for myself. Amazing things will happen as you learn to recognize God's signposts in your life, put your feet on His path, and commit yourself to follow where He leads.
I heartily recommend Live Your Calling as a guidebook for dreaming the dreams God has created you to pursue, and equipping you to fulfill them.
-Ken Wales, Veteran filmmaker, and Executive producer CBS Television series, "CHRISTY"
The Book
Live Your Calling: A Practical Guide to Finding and Fulfilling Your Mission in Life is a pragmatic and inspirational guide to help you identify and use your God-given gifts to find significance, direction, and joy in your life and work. Kevin and Kay Marie Brennfleck help readers develop a theologically sound understanding of calling while providing practical tools and an innovative, intriguing process for discerning your "God-sized" calling:
Complete six assessments to identify key "puzzle pieces" of your unique design including your most-enjoyed skills, core values, personality traits, preferred roles, spiritual gifts and compelling interests. You can then record your results in your Life Calling Map™. Your Life Calling Map will be an important tool for clarifying your God-given design and discovering your calling within your work, home, church, community and the world at large.
Enlarge your vision of what you can do. Most people have dreams for their lives that are too small, limited by lack of vision, fear, and everyday concerns. God calls us to undertake tasks and roles we cannot accomplish on our own so that we can see his power at work. Your Life Calling Map can be used to identify and explore options for work and ministry/service activities that are in alignment with your God-given design. Utilizing strategies for brainstorming, "dreaming big," and investigating possibilities will help you expand your vision of what God is calling you to do in the world.
Learn how to make good decisions within God's will for your life. Your calling doesn't "just happen" without your participation. Partnering with God to live your calling requires making decisions. Learning to make good decisions about life choices is an essential part of spiritual maturity.
Consider emotional, psychological, spiritual and lifestyle issues that can get you stuck as you seek to find and fulfill your mission in life. You can assess if any of these "calling blockers" are hindering you in discerning or living your calling. The book provides "calling catalysts" you can utilize to conquer your personal calling blockers.
Motivate yourself to take action. Learning how to take appropriate action is a key part of becoming people God can fully use. You will have the opportunity to create personal mission statements, set achievable and compelling goals, and develop an action plan to create the life God is calling you to live.
Learn how to live your calling successfully. Your life matters in God's majestic plan. Many people are inspired to pursue their calling; fewer persevere to live it faithfully over the course of their lives. Tapping into God's power and resources, creating a vital support system, and more fully developing the characteristics of a called person will enable you to fulfill the mission that is yours alone.
This book will be a terrific resource for you if you are seeking to find direction in your life, and/or if you are in a helping profession. (Live Your Calling includes a detailed 12-week small group guide, making it a perfect choice for small groups and classroom use.) People in mid-life, "empty-nest" or retirement transitions, high school and college students, homeschool educators, career counseling professionals, teachers, college professors, pastors, counselors, lay ministers, and small group leaders alike will find it invaluable.

ABOUT US
BARB McEWEN, PRESIDENT
20/20 EXECUTIVE COACHING
Background
Barb McEwen is a well-known Master Executive Coach and Organizational Development Consultant who works with senior executives from around the world to help identify and assess developmental opportunities for both organizations and individuals.

Barb is accustomed to coaching both high-potential individuals and those requiring new skills to help them enhance their leadership competencies. Her coaching deepens the client's awareness of his or her unique strengths as a foundation for improvement. She helps them to gain personal insight and to recognize the requirements of the organization in which they work. Barb capably leads her clients through a process of setting realistic goals and then demonstrates how to achieve those goals in common sense and practical terms. Her toolbox of sensible strategies guarantees success.
You will learn how to: Understand the Great Game of Business and organizational dynamics so that you can win when you are playing in someone else's ball park
Create a Leadership Development Plan or blueprint for your life
Transform personal inefficiencies
Control your time and eliminate interruptions
Convert your image from boss to leader
Gain insight into your strengths and weaknesses
Eliminate fear, worry and needless stress
Through Executive Coaching it is possible for anyone to learn these strategies, alter their attitude and perceptions and create success on their own terms.
Experience
Barb's corporate background includes founding 20/20Executive Coaching and for the past ten years she has been helping clients from all over the world. Her many years in business are distinguished by significant accomplishments in a wide range of senior positions. She has served as the Executive Director of Regional Tourism, a Senior Executive with the Ministry of Economic Development and Vice-President of a major marketing firm. She has also taught Women in Management at both the college and university level. With diverse experience in human resources, organizational behavior, international marketing, communications and strategic planning, her clients find her an excellent resource and mentor. She has managed budgets in excess of $15 million and has been responsible for upwards of 200 staff. She continues to run two successful companies and knows first-hand the excitement and challenges that business people face.
The Road to Executive Coaching
Throughout her professional life Barb has been a committed volunteer and served on numerous boards and committees. For many years she has taken a special interest in palliative care and in 1993 began pursuing her Master of Divinity degree specializing in pastoral care and spiritual direction. It was while attaining her certification as a Clinical Pastoral Counselor that she was able to explore the "Big Question" and discover her life's purpose. The Big Question for Barb is not so much about "Why are you here?" But it has more to do with, "Are you happy about what you are becoming?" Asking helps end the conflict between who we are and what we do.
This combination of self-discovery and hands-on management experience enabled her to quickly integrate spiritual principles with typical rapid-results management techniques. She enjoys assisting others in bridging the gap between their personal and professional lives and to help them not only grow but also to thrive in today's fast paced world. Seeing herself as a lifelong learner, she then began her coach training. This multi-year experience confirmed her desire to support other executives and help them make a difference where they are.
Barb has written and spoken extensively about what she has come to understand about business, about people, and about life. It is these insights that give depth and meaning to her work. Like so many people, her greatest strengths have been developed through the lessons learned while in the trenches. It is these lessons -- learned from her mistakes and failures -- which she enthusiastically shares with clients. Her goal is to help reduce your learning curve and to help build and develop capability for both individuals and organizations. She has a special interest in sharing techniques on how to break the glass ceiling and balancing home, family and career.
Her Style
Barb is someone who makes life happen. She believes the everyday choices we make have a significant impact on whether or not we will live out our dreams. She likes to inspire others to look at the way they work, live and think. As a coach, she is passionate about what she does. She is a good listener, intuitive and not afraid to ask the difficult questions. She dares others to examine their own situations and to stretch to fulfill their dreams.
Training Certified Master Business Coach, B\Coach Systems
Strategy Focused Developmental Coaching Systems
Certified Executive Coach, Worldwide Association of Business Coaches
Post-graduate studies University of Winnipeg, Master of Divinity
Certified Clinical Pastoral Counselor, Good Samaritan Hospital, Phoenix
Lakehead University, BA, Industrial Psychology
She has also taken numerous business seminars and specific training in areas of HR, Management; Communications; Strategic Planning; Marketing; Growth & Development.
Interests
Barb is a competitive tennis player and an avid golfer. She is a keen bridge player, a ferocious reader and a strong proponent of personal development. She believes each of us is here for a purpose and it is our task to discover and live out that purpose. She and her husband love to travel, entertain, and enjoy time with their family.
PERSONAL EXECUTIVE COACHING
Today, many people are accessing the support of a Personal Executive Coach. The reasons vary.

Experience

Her many years in business are distinguished by significant accomplishments in a wide range of senior positions. She has served as the Executive Director of Regional Tourism, a Senior Executive with the Ministry of Economic Development and Vice-President of a major marketing firm.

The Road to Executive Coaching
Throughout her professional life Barb has been a committed volunteer and served on numerous boards and committees. For many years she has taken a special interest in palliative care and in 1993 began pursuing her Master of Divinity degree specializing in pastoral care and spiritual direction. It was while attaining her certification as a Clinical Pastoral Counselor that she was able to explore the "Big Question" and discover her life's purpose. The Big Question for Barb is not so much about "Why are you here?" But it has more to do with, "Are you happy about what you are becoming?" Asking helps end the conflict between who we are and what we do.
This combination of self-discovery and hands-on management experience enabled her to quickly integrate spiritual principles with typical rapid-results management techniques. She enjoys assisting others in bridging the gap between their personal and professional lives and to help them not only grow but also to thrive in today's fast paced world. Seeing herself as a lifelong learner, she then began her coach training. This multi-year experience confirmed her desire to support other executives and help them make a difference where they are.
Barb has written and spoken extensively about what she has come to understand about business, about people, and about life. It is these insights that give depth and meaning to her work. Like so many people, her greatest strengths have been developed through the lessons learned while in the trenches. It is these lessons -- learned from her mistakes and failures -- which she enthusiastically shares with clients. Her goal is to help reduce your learning curve and to help build and develop capability for both individuals and organizations. She has a special interest in sharing techniques on how to break the glass ceiling and balancing home, family and career.
Her Style
Barb is someone who makes life happen. She believes the everyday choices we make have a significant impact on whether or not we will live out our dreams. She likes to inspire others to look at the way they work, live and think. As a coach, she is passionate about what she does. She is a good listener, intuitive and not afraid to ask the difficult questions. She dares others to examine their own situations and to stretch to fulfill their dreams.

Book recommendation: Who Stole My Church?
I recently received an advance copy of Gordon MacDonald's new book, Who Stole My Church? What to Do When the Church You Love Tries to Enter the 21st Century, from Thomas Nelson publishers. I was happy to receive a book from my friend, Gordon MacDonald, but this title surprised me a bit. It certainly seemed a departure from his previous books, such as, A Resilient Life and Ordering Your Private World, which were more about the individual's inner life. This new title was clearly not about the inner life. In this new book MacDonald has attempted to tackle one of the most divisive topics in the 21st Century church, the topic of change.
His title not only surprised, but it worried me. I always love MacDonald's books, but I was afraid that I wouldn't like this one. As a church planter I have encountered the angry church goer who thinks the church belongs to them and resists any change to its tradition or culture. As I looked at the book's cover I hesitated to open it.
I had recently acted as MacDonald's chauffeur, driving him from the airport to a speaking engagement and back to his hotel. On the one hand, I observed him to be an early adopter and very innovative in his thinking. He seemed more adept with his Palm PDA than any twenty something. He made good use of his laptop while projecting powerpoint images on a screen to illustrate his talking points. Yet, after a rousing time of contemporary worship lead by a young, blue-jean wearing, guitar playing, worship leader, MacDonald began his talk by asking everyone to sing an old hymn with him. He explained that he really had difficulty worshiping to the new songs. He wanted to sing something to which he and those fellow, "gray-haired" members of the audience might relate.
His hymn singing preference didn't worry me, I'll soon be 50 years old and I still love the occasional old hymn too. Certainly, MacDonald at age 66 deserved to sing the songs that touched his heart. But now as I held his latest book in my hand, I wondered if his taste in music had colored his view of change in the church.
I shouldn't have worried. Gordon MacDonald's new book was a joy to read. It is not a reactionary response to change. It is a very relational and mediating view of how an individual church congregation might face and respond to the changes in today's culture. The book is a real page turner too. MacDonald wrote this book as a kind of "dramatic form of semi-fiction." In it he tells the story of how he leads a fictional church in a New England town to respond to the cultural changes around them. I found myself relating to the conversations and struggles of this fictional church. MacDonald may be writing fiction, but it is certainly based on real life experience.
MacDonald's character in the book (he plays himself) decides to bring together a group of disgruntled church leaders to discuss the changes the church is facing. He calls it a "Discovery Group." In their weekly meetings they discuss nearly every cultural shift of this generation. They discuss the change of their church name. They struggle together with the elimination of their church choir and the ensuing "worship wars" that go with having a contemporary band leading on Sundays.
But their journey is more than having to lift their eyes from hymn books to projected words on screens. Gordon's character leads them to confront their own view of the church and more importantly, to whom the church belongs.
The book begins with one of the members of MacDonald's Discovery Group named Yvonne saying with great sadness, "All I know is that someone stole my church and I'd like to get it back."
The book is about the journey that led this same woman and many of the members of the group to change their view. Along the way they discovered that the church never belonged to them anyway. It had always belonged to Jesus.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the church. Those who feel called to help transition an existing church to reach this generation will find much to encourage them. While MacDonald has not attempted to write a "how-to transition a church" book, he does offer a kind of paradigm for working with a church that has already begun the journey.
For those that are familiar with the coach approach to leadership, they will find many valuable "powerful questions" that may be used in leading people towards change. MacDonald's character often uses questions and active listening to pull resistant people forward. Although not everyone in MacDonald's fictional church is able to make the change, everyone is listened to and heard.
MacDonald admits that not everyone is shaped for leading a church through this kind of change. In one of his final chapters, he says:
Our experience leads me to say that if you want to be part of a church that is radically different from anything you've ever known, then plant one... But if you are willing to be patient in one of those old churches (like ours) that is pretty high up the S-curve, then put your head down and go to work. Be patient, be prayerful, seek allies, build alliances with other generations. You'll probably have to convince a lot of people, and they'll come dragging their feet like the members of our Discovery Group. But as time passes, somehow the Spirit of God will grab hearts, and you just may see a miracle-- a hundred-year-old church that acts with the spirit of an enthusiastic teenager. That's what happened to us.
I shouldn't have worried about Gordon MacDonald's latest book. He gets it right. The church is not ours. It belongs to Christ.

KINGDOM OF GOD
Acrostic of KINGDOM OF GOD
K ingdom of God
I s not about meat and drink;
N ot of the material world!
G od's righteousness, peace
D eep joy in the Spirit
O these
M ake, constitute the Kingdom!
*O nly by grace, [&]
F aith we can see
G od is ready
O to lift us &
D eliver us!
SIng to the tune of "Seek Ye 1st the Kingdom of God"
* refrain
========================================================
Pastor Sunday Adelaja: WHAT IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Rom. 14: 17, KJV).
The kingdom of God has nothing to do with the material world. The appellation kingdom of God does suggest that the Lord is the creator of the entity designated. Therefore God’s kingdom is intimately associated with the Lord and his intrinsic qualities such as peace, righteousness and joy. Many people hold a deeply erroneous belief that the kingdom of God can experienced only after death. On that score, Jesus said to his disciples the following words: "But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God" (Lk. 9: 27, KJV).
As evident from the above, to see the kingdom of God without tasting death is to experience it during one’s earthly life. If you expect it to come in a visible way, then you are mistaken. In Luke 17:20-21 he makes a statement that defies any conventional wisdom "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (KJV).
If one is hostile to God, their efforts to find peace, joy and peace are in vain. These things can be experienced only when you have yourself reconciled with the Lord, who bestows good things of his kingdom on those turning to him.
God is ready to accept any person, deliver them from all life’s burdens and give peace, joy and righteousness in place of anxieties, tears and sinful habits. In other words, he wants to give things that make the kingdom of God.
Verses to reflect on: Luke 17: 20-21.
A verse to remember:
"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost" (Rom. 14: 17, KJV).

A ll richest gain I count but loss
Y es! for the knowledge of Jesus!

"HEAR THE KINGDOM’S CALL" =
H eed the Great Commission Call!
E very part of the world -
A ll
R eached &
T he Gospel preached!
H is Spirit
E mpowering!
K neel
I n His presence,
N ow pray!
G race
D riving out
O ur fear;
M ay the love of CHrist
S hine bright through us
C all of the Lord – His Kingdom let’s seek first!
A ll the nations – go and make disciples!
L et His salvation - eternal life bring
L ift up His Name & glorify!
tune of "Hear the Kingdom's Call"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story behind the song (by Keith, Kristyn & Stuart):
‘We wanted to write a song that we could send people out with at the end of a service, one that would be a call to go out confidently and positively as salt and light to the world. Verse one considers how we respond first and foremost to the cross, coming into the Kingdom of Christ and seeking to praise Him. Verse two was inspired by the Sermon on the Mount, where Christ teaches what it means to be children of the Kingdom – loving righteousness and justice, walking in humility, with mercy and letting His light shine through us. Verse three reminds us of our call to declare the Gospel and the Kingdom to the lost. The chorus is our response to follow and ultimately, in all we do – helping the sick, feeding the hungry, working for justice, explaining the faith – our aim is to proclaim salvation in Jesus’ name’.
HEAR THE CALL OF THE KINGDOM
Lift your eyes to the King
Let His song rise within you
As a fragrant offering
Of how God rich in mercy
Came in Christ to redeem
All who trust in His unfailing grace
Hear the call of the Kingdom
To be children of light
With the mercy of heaven
The humility of Christ
Walking justly before Him
Loving all that is right
That the life of Christ may shine through us
King of Heaven we will answer the call
We will follow bringing hope to the world
Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim
Salvation in Jesus' name
Hear the call of the Kingdom
To reach out to the lost
With the Father's compassion
In the wonder of the cross
Bringing peace and forgiveness
And a hope yet to come
Let the nations put their trust in Him

There is a hope - acrostic
There is a hope
Stuart Townend / Mark Edwards
Key: C
Tempo: slow
THERE IS A HOPE that burns within my heart,
That gives me strength for every passing day;
A glimpse of glory now revealed in meagre part,
Yet drives all doubt away:
I stand in Christ, with sins forgiven;
And Christ in me, the hope of heaven!
My highest calling and my deepest joy,
To make His will my home.
There is a hope that lifts my weary head,
A consolation strong against despair,
That when the world has plunged me in its deepest pit,
I find the Saviour there!
Through present sufferings, future's fear,
He whispers 'courage' in my ear.
For I am safe in everlasting arms,
And they will lead me home.
There is a hope that stands the test of time,
That lifts my eyes beyond the beckoning grave,
To see the matchless beauty of a day divine
When I behold His face!
When sufferings cease and sorrows die,
And every longing satisfied.
Then joy unspeakable will flood my soul,
For I am truly home.

GIFTED FOR LEADERSHIP
Biblical truth—We always look at leadership issues through a biblical lens.
Reality—We are realistic about the issues, struggles, challenges, opportunities, and joys women leaders face.
Honesty—We are committed to addressing reality with honesty and without apology.
Redemption—We express ourselves without bitterness. When speaking from personal pain, we point to hope and healing—even if our healing process is incomplete. This is not a forum for mere arguments or expressions of personal anguish.
Love—We care about women in leadership and want to make personal connections with them.
Equipping—We help women get better, and more confident, in what they do.
Encouragement—We want women to feel good about the gifts God has given them, and we help them see how they can use those gifts. We love and root for the church and its people.
Challenge—We challenge women to use their leadership gifts, pursue spiritual growth, and think deeply.
Unity—We help women rise above the arguments and judgments about where they should lead. Instead, we agree that we are all obligated to use our gifts in the ways God has called us to do so.
