Welcome to Run With Horses. My name is Norman and my goal is to help you Thrive as as follower of Jesus. The spiritual battles we face are real. The battles of the future will require you to be growing and trusting God even more than you do today. How can you be the person that you need to be to face the challenges of the future? One way is to apply consistent attention to your Spiritual Health. But your overall spiritual health is affected by more than just your prayer and bible reading. Let’s look at a few areas that need attention for us to be all that God intends for us to be.
 
God brings life to those who were once dead. That life has many aspects. Spiritual Life, Mental Life, Physical Life, Relational Life, and Emotional Life are five important parts of the person God has made you.
All of those parts can use attention from us as we follow Jesus. We will be looking at each one separately in the next few shows but today I want us to get an overview and consider the whole person.
Let’s look at a few definitions to get started.
 
Spiritual Life – The life lived in Jesus, in communion with God.
Basics – prayer, spiritual community, bible knowledge. Or three areas of spirituality – doctrine, affection (love) and experience.
 
Mental Life - Mental life includes emotional, psychological, and social aspects. It is how we think, feel, and act, and determines how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Includes education.
 
Physical Life – From conception to our last breathe we are physical beings. We don’t have control over much of our physical life but our choices do influence our health and ability. Exercise and diet are key.
 
Relational Life - Humans are interconnected. The family and community play an important role in our lives. Humans are meant to connect with others on a personal and emotional level and strong, fulfilling relationships help people build and maintain emotional health. We need people. Mentors, coworkers, friends.
 
Emotional Life - There are many types of emotional skills (aka emotional intelligence). These skills: like emotion regulation, gratitude, empathy, and kindness — help you relate better to others and yourself. Feelings don’t lead us but they do impact us greatly.
 
Thanks for joining me today. If you have thoughts or questions about your spiritual life, write me at norman@runwithhorses.net I would love to hear from you. Our lives are complicated with all five of these areas interacting in many ways. The good thing to remember is that God is using all of them in the process of sanctification, preparing us for the day we meet Him face to face.
Until that great day, keep running!
 

Is the Christian LIfe a Marathon or a Sprint? -EP.253

Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcastWhy do we struggle so much to consistently live the Christian life? It seems to be either a constant struggle or a sporadic sprint with long periods of stagnancy in between. Is this all there is? That is the question we address today.Welcome to Run with Horses. My name in Norman and my goal is to help you Thrive as a follower of Jesus. None of us live life perfectly, but if Jesus is at the center of our relationships, we definitely live life better. I don't think life has to be a drudgery or a mad dash. God is the God of patience and joy. If we delight in Him the slow times are sweeter and the periods of busyness are under His control. The question is, How do we live out a life that is devoted to Him and still move forward with day to day responsibilities to our family and community.Three challenges we face.1. Slow progress - we get discouraged when we don't see progress as quickly as we had hoped. Lasting change often takes time.Impatience can cause us to try to ourun God'd work in our lives.2.Life changes constantly - our situation is always shifting, forcing us to figure out new ways to fit in the needs of the day. Spiritual concerns are often moved aside for what feels more urgent right now.Example: move to USA to care for Grandma3. We often do have other pressing priorities - most of us do have things that are important that require our time and energy. It can be difficult to navigate a life that can feel overwhelming.
Finances, health concerns, relationships all give us headaches.4. Some face opposition from their family and friends - if those around you don't share your priorities, you may be criticized for your choices.So what do we do? How do you handle the challenges of life?
Keep the focus on growing. Your spiritual journey will take a lifetime. Commit to the long haul and do what it takes to bear fruit. Spiritual fruit will take you through any trouble.Fruit of the SpiritGalatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
 
1. Don’t worry about going slow. Keep putting consistent effort into your spiritual life and you will see progress over time.
 
2. Learn to embrace the challenge that changes bring. You have more opportunities to grow though challenge than you do through the smooth times. Look for the lesson.Galatians 6:7Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
 
3. Don’t forget your WHY. You will always have tests that force you to consider what is really important. Remember that the struggle is worth it. Jesus is working to make you like Him. The struggle is the way that He grows you. In the midst of the the trial, you have the opportunity to join His church in carrying out an eternal work. Keep an eternal perspective.
 
4. Remember that you are never alone. Even when the people around you don’t understand why you choose Jesus. He is always with you and will walk with you through your darkest night.
 
Thanks for joining me today. Let me know how you are doing at staying focused and motivated to keep on keeping on when it is difficult. Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net with your story. It may not be easy but following Jesus has eternal value. Keep running!
 

What is My part in Building a Church Community? -Ep.252

Take responsibility for your community.
1. Know your Purpose.
Build your community by keeping your purpose in mind and reminding yourself of how your contribution matters.
As a leader, provide people with vision and line of sight so they are crystal clear about the broader purpose of the organization and how their work fits into the whole.
2. Help others know that they Belong.
Plato said, “The part cannot be well unless the whole is well.” Communities take care of their members and vice versa. Stay in touch with people. Invest time and energy in maintaining your relationships.
As a leader, Have frequent meetings with your team so you can coordinate tasks and ensure people are making meaningful connections. Encourage relational ties.
3. Face Challenges well.
Strong communities adapt and become stronger as they cope together. Embrace conflict and diversity—working through differences of opinion and making space for civil discourse and the learning that occurs from appreciating multiple points of view.
As a leader, support people if they try something new and fail. Don’t let perfection get in the way of progress. If you’re not seeing some mistakes or missteps, your team may not be reaching high enough.

How to build community in your church.
1. Cultivate and support small groups.
The key is to build a time of prayer, a devotion and fellowship into each meeting.
2. Train small group leaders to do the work of pastoral ministry.
No pastor, no matter how caring, can provide personal attention to more than a dozen or so people at a time.
3. Be willing to give up expediency. Take time.
If we want to build authentic community, sometimes the labor-intensive choice is the best choice.
4. Preach and teach regularly on the importance of caring.
Caring means reaching out to new people in meaningful ways, like sharing a meal with them or inviting them on an activity.
5. Set a good example.
Be the first to show up at events and the last to leave. It takes time to build community.
It takes hard work, vigilance and a commitment to training laypeople to do the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Why is the Church Community so Important? - Ep.251

Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcastToday we explore community and why the church community in particular is so important in the life of a disciple of Jesus.
 
Welcome to Run With Horses, My name is Norman and my goal is to help you Thrive as a follower of Jesus. It is difficult enough to go through this life without attempting it on your own. We were created to live in community with others. It may not always be pretty and sometimes it gets downright ugly. But God created us to live in fellowship with Him at the center. And it is beautiful when the bride of Christ is in harmony.
 
We talk a lot about communities. But often, we struggle to live in them.
 
What is Community?
“A community is a social unit wherein its members share a common network. Common networks that unite communities include networks of values, interests, goals, and kinship.
It is common to classify communities into the following categories:
Communities of place
Communities of interest
Identity-based communities
Communities of need
Communities of practice”
*Reference
Chris Drew - https://helpfulprofessor.com/types-of-communities/
 
Why is Community Important?
1. Support and safety -fight feelings of hopelessness, supporting others also gives us a boost.
2. Connection and belonging - feeling we are part of something bigger can help give meaning to our lives
3. Influence - stop us from falling into unhealthy habits or thoughts
4. Sharing - Sharing activities, ideas and feelings reinforces not only our sense of self, but also adds worth and value to the community
5. Learning - can help us reach insights that we may not have reached on our own
6. Acceptance - acceptance doesn’t necessarily imply agreement
7. More connections, more chances of success

Why we need the Church community
Reason #1: It meets our basic need for belonging
Reason #2: A strong church community is a place for discipleship
Reason #3: We are held accountable
Reason #4: We need to be fed a diet that will allow us to mature in our relationship with the LORD
Reason #5: We are commanded by God to be part of a strong church community

Today we look at a few more questions that people sometimes have about the church. I am sure we aren’t going to cover every question you have so write norman@runwithhorses.net if you have a question!
 
Welcome to Run With Horses. My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. Life is often a crazy mess but in the middle of the chaos, Jesus offers to meet us with peace that isn’t tied to our circumstances. How great to know that there is more, and better, in store for us in the future!
 
All of us have questions at times. I have more than my share, believe me! The church is one of those groups of people who have drawn a lot of attention through the years, and rightly so. Often for good reasons, and just as often for bad ones. Either way the church has been a big part of history.
I am not a historian and tend to look more at today than the past. Preparing for tomorrow always seems like a better use of my time than complaining about the past. If you are looking for a deep dive into church history, you are in the wrong place, at least for today. If you are thinking about the church and your place in it, maybe, just maybe, you are in the right place.
 
Who is the church for, just Christians?Church membership is limited to those who have placed their faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Attendance is open to all in most churches for most meetings.Is church attendance required if I am a Christian?The answer is No! We have freedom in Christ and there are few requirements for Christians, we are not under the law. However, while no one will hunt you down for not attending church, Jesus is building His church and does want you to be part of it. We are told not to avoid getting together but to use our gifts to build up His church.Are politics important in church life?
They should not be! Politics only are of value in the here and now. If we really believe that we should be working for eternity, politics have a very minor place. Not to say completely irrelevant, just minor.
Should I go back if I have been hurt by church?
Yes, but . . .
Why is it so hard to find a healthy church?
Good question!
Real answer. Sin.
Teaches Bible, Promotes loving relationships, is focused on being and making disciples, The Gospel is celebrated, etc

What’s Wrong With The Church? -Ep.247 -Run With Horses Podcast

Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcastIt has been said that christianity can be summed up in one word – relationships. Today we look at the relationships that make up the church.
 
Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you Thrive as a disciple of Jesus. You have a lot of choices to make every day. Thanks for including me in your journey of following Jesus.
 
Recently I have been thinking about the church and particularly the relationships that make it up. Regularly I have seen news and info about church relationships that are broken on an almost weekly basis. From pastors and leaders in the church to ,members who are behaving badly, we seem to be struggling to get along and to act like Jesus with each other.
 
It is really a matter of spiritual growth and maturity at it’s core. Our sin nature aggressively drives us from God and unfortunately wins many of the daily battles. The result is that the church, instead of being the beautiful bride of Christ, is a soiled mess that looks almost identical to the world. The world expects the church to be different and is either surprised and disappointed or overjoyed when it is not.
 
Our relationships don’t look like God intends for them to look. And the problem begins with the primary relationship that we have, our relationship with God Himself.
 
Our relationship with God is possible because of the blood of Jesus, applied to our lives, removing our sin, providing us with the righteousness of Jesus Himself. The result of receiving such an underserved gift should be a heart overflowing with Thanksgiving. That thankful heart lifts up the name of Jesus and praises the God from whom all blessings flow. Worship is a natural outflow of the Thankful heart. A heart turned to God glorifies Him through heartfelt obedience and pursuit of holiness. We long to be like Him when we see Him as He is!
 
This heart, in tune with God, pursuing His righteousness and holiness, is filled with a peace and joy that cannot be explained outside of the work of Jesus. It is incredibly calming to know that God is in control. To know Him is to know His love, His grace, as well as His patience and long-suffering. A true relationship with God requires for us to KNOW Him, not just know ABOUT Him.
 
Paul challenges Timothy to pursue godliness and righteousness. We are invited to pursue God in all His glory. He invites us into His presence.
 
A genuine relationship with God changes us in many ways but one of the most important is the way in which it changes our relationship with other people. Our relationship with the church, like our relationship with God Himself, is only healthy or even possible in Christ.
 
The church is a special group of people who are united by a special bond through the power of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately this bond doesn’t prevent us from sinning against each other time and time again!
 
A relationship that should be marked by a deep and abiding love, is severely tested by our selfishness and focus on our own desires. The world looks at the church expecting to see a kindness and grace that is missing in their own lives but instead see a mess that looks a lot like the one they are in. Why is it this way? In part, many in the church struggle to really know God personally. While weekly sermons give information in abundance, a genuine relationship with the True and Living God is more difficult to find. So we struggle.
 
And we take that struggle to the world. Our relationship with the world, rather than being marked by grace and loving truth, is always tainted by our own sin and make more difficult because we struggle to see God as He is and see His hand at work in the world. And we really struggle to BE His hands at work in the world. Rather than bringing grace and truth to the world and seeing Him change people into His image, we go into the world and take on the characteristics of the world rather than our Savior.
 
How do we change that?
1. Release control of your life to God. He bought you with a price! What does it mean to live His life? If you aren’t wrestling with that question, you might not be living the life God intends. It’s not easy though. God isn’t making cookies so there is no cookie cutter approach to following Jesus. My guess is Peter and Matthew were vastly different in their personalities, gifts and ministry. You and I will be different too.
 
2. Pursue Jesus. Really seek to get to know Him. This is the path to righteousness, godliness and holiness. To really KNOW Jesus. Not just about Him. Are you wrestling with how to know Him better? You should be, it is one of life’s greatest joys and journeys!
 
3. The humility of Jesus asks us to consider others better than ourselves. We are asked to submit to one another. Are you wrestling with how to do that in your home, in your church, and in your community? You should be. It does not come naturally for sinful hearts.
 
I will stop at these three for today. They are all huge if you take them seriously and really attempt to live them out. Jesus didn’t call us to an easy life. He called us to a meaningful one. You choose every day how you will live. Choose real value that lasts. Choose to follow Jesus and learn from Him. Choose to help His family be what it can be.
 
Thanks for joining me today. Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net with your questions or comments or just to say hi. I would love to hear from you. My prayer is that you reflect the glory of God into the world around you every day. The journey is worth the effort, keep running!

Today we are thinking about the church and who is responsible for it.
 
Welcome to Run With Horses! My Name is Norman and m goal is to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. He invites you to follow Him and there is no choice you can make that is more worthwhile.
 
After a summer of travel and never ending upheaval in our lives, we may have the end of this stage in sight. Part of that transition is working on an office for me to use as a home base for the next year or so. I am in the space I will be using today and it is mostly empty and very large so if you hear an echo, it si the natural reverb of a large space, much like an empty warehouse. But it is a blessing to have access to it so I am not complaining. A room is in the planning stages and a generous supporter is working to make it happen as soon as the next few weeks. More info to come!
 
The church is something we talk often about and today I wanted to cover a few of the basics.
 
What is the church? A group of believers. Saved by grace through Faith.
Romans 15: 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus, 4 who risked their own necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house.
 
Colossians 4: 15Greet the brethren who are in Laodicea, and Nymphas and the church that is in his house.
 
Ephesians 1:22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
 
Acts 20:28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. - NKJVJesus Builds His Church. - Matthew 16:18 - On this Rock I will build MY church.
 
Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus said, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.”
 
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples,“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
 
The church, as the hands and feet of Jesus in the world today, has an important role to play.
Gospel witness, Equipping of more workers ( the process of disciple making), bring worship of the True and Living God to every corner of the globe and every street in every village.
What is your part? Not always easy but always worth it!
 
Thanks for joining me today! Write me at norman@runwithhorses.net with your questions, comments or just to let me know you are listening. Keep your eyes on the prize and keep running after Jesus.

Every tree is full of acorns, making thousands of them every year. Forests are full of trees that came from similar tiny acorns. Each one making it's way somehow from the branches of the tree to the ground somewhere. Some hit the ground in a great spot, sprouted and grew in to anther massive tree. Others landed in spots with poor soil, little water, too much shade or for any of numerous other reasons, failed to thrive They sprouted and grew, even produced a handful of acorns of their own, but they are a far cry from the big tree that gave them a start.Why are we talking about trees today? Because like every tree produces the seeds that are needed to produce more trees and every seed has the potential to produce a new tree. Every Church is designed by God to produce disciple makers and every disciple maker has the DNA to produce another church.Welcome to Run With Horses. My Name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a disciple of Jesus. And today, we want to check your DNA!The church is to be an acorn producing machine!Disciple makers are the fruit of a healthy church and the seed of new healthy churches. It' sin their DNA!That means you are a church planting nut! Right?What if we aren't? Churches die. Churches decrease in number and health. New churches aren't started.SO what should I do?Grow where you are planted! or where you fell. Just grow where you are!Healthy spiritual growth results in seeds of the gospel taking root in peoples lives. The Gospel changes people. Seed, sprout, seedling, young tree, fruit bearing tree, forest.How do I grow?Pursue Jesus yourself and invite others to go with you. Embrace the challenge of living for Jesus in the world today. It isn' t easy and Jesus never said that it would be. He did say that it glorifies God though!Learn to see the world through the eyes of Jesus. People are lost. They are hurting and looking for something to make life worth living for. People want hope. They want to think that this all means something. See the world with the compassionate eyes of Jesus and recognize that He is the Hope that the world needs. God offers the meaning that we all seek after and He offers healing for the pain we all feel.Get to know your community and the people who are barely surviving in it. Be a friend to the friendless and a help to those in need. Share your Hope through your life into your relationships and make it clear in your words.Be an acorn. Don't try to control where you are planted but make the best of the ground you are given. Some soil is hard. Soften it by digging your roots deep into the Word of God and draw life giving water from Him. God is able to grow fruit on trees that are connected to Him wherever they are planted.Pray for your church to be a tree full of acorns sprouting across your community. Each one carrying the DNA of the church and the potential to change every person in their path.God is a big God. He is never limited. You may be a small seed, but dream big and trust a bigger God to use you to build His church.Thanks for joining me today. We serve a Big God. Trust Him to do the work in your life to make you like Him and to use you to work change in others. You may be a small seed in a large field, but God is more than able to use you to build His church. Commit to growing and never stop running after Jesus.
