You Have Encompassed this Mountain Long Enough
As followers of Christ, we can confidently rest in the promise of His guidance. When we get off course, we can trust Him to get us back on track. If you’re longing for clarity, don’t focus on your circumstances. Keep your eyes on God, and He will direct your steps. Though you may feel like you’re going in circles, you can gain clear strategy for your life journey when you seek Him!
Taken from the message, "The Three Harbor Lights Of Guidance," Jeanne looks at lining up Circumstances, the Word of God, and the Peace of God when looking for God's Guidance.

We all deal with the daunting questions sometime in our lives like, "What's next?" ... "How do I know if this is God's will for my life?" ... "What are the ways Gods speaks?" As these are all BIG questions, it becomes sometimes overwhelming to think of where to even BEGIN in directing our students.
In this Source, I share a story that has anchored me when seeking Divine Guidance, both on small and large decisions. We all want to know that our "spiritual navigational system" is accurate so we don't crash from wrong decisions or wrong turns in our life. It's really pretty simple. Just make sure that the THREE HARBOR LIGHTS OF GUIDANCE are lined up as one and you can be confident that the Lord is directing your decision and keeping you ON COURSE.
Committed to staying on course,
It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and instead of working our schedules; our schedules begin to work us. Between family, work, problems with money and problems with colleagues, it seems so easy to forget what we are fighting for. Dreams seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but a dream that is truly fought for, a dream that is made into a reality, is a rare breed.
This message is a parallel between our lives and the dream cycle we see modeled by the ultimate biblical example of a dreamer, Joseph. Listen in on a night of fun and a lot of laughter as we at Oxygen, "Dare To Dream."
Still fighting for my dreams,
All of us come to crossroads in our lives where we face into the question, "What is God's will for me?" We begin the search to find the difference between what's "good" and what God's will is. However, in those moments, we often find ourselves complicating what God has for us. We think too much and pray too little, or we look to the advice of our friends more than God.
In this Source, "De-Mystifying God's Will For Your Life," we show students that the will of God doesn't need to be complicated. With some amusing skits, three "guidance keys," and a few simple principles that we like to call the "harbor lights," we help to remove some of the mysticism of discovering God's will. This Source is a way to help your students choose not to just accept every "good" opportunity that is placed in front of them, but instead, step into God's best for them!
Lovingly,
As leaders, it’s easy to make divine guidance too complicated. But I don't think it has to be. In fact, I believe the supernatural will of God, is actually more super natural. Yet, it's so easy to over-think it or wait for the heavens to open and yell down to us and tell us what we are meant to do.
In this month's Youth Leader's Coach, "Divine Guidance In A Complicated World," I'm sharing with you three GUIDANCE KEYS to help us navigate the Lord's leadership both in our PERSONAL lives and in our MINISTRIES.

Researchers at Stanford University conducted an experiment at an upscale grocery store to learn more about how people make choices. By offering samples of 6 different types of jams on one day and on an alternate day 24 different types, they discovered with 24 different types of jams, that people became overwhelmed and it was much more difficult to pick just one! So often our students are in such a similar mindset in their lives, that with so many choices of what to do next, that they are asking themselves the overwhelming question, "What in the world am I supposed to do for the rest of my life?!" It is up to us to help guide them in that decision making process!
In this Source, I honestly share that finding God's will for your future is often pretty unglamorous. I demystify the process by sharing "The Sacred 7." Thought provoking things to consider including key questions like...Does it align with God's Word? Is there an internal peace associated with it? Do the circumstances (money, parents, opportunity) line up? I leave them with some life-giving Scriptures to pray to the Lord as they seek His guidance and challenge them to write down a few of their "Jam Options."
It's painfully true that people who “have dreams” are COMMON. But the people who are willing, over the test of time, to pay the price tags to move that dream into a reality, are FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. They earn their own position in the “Halls of Destiny.” And, those people are rare indeed.
Lovingly,
