Jesus cares
Through the years growing up, the author has discovered that everyone experiences hurt in different ways throughout their lives. Some hurts are minor while others go deeper and leave lasting scars. Many people hide what they've been through so that even those closest to them don't know their pain. These past hurts hold people back emotionally, relationally, and even spiritually. God wants to heal every hurt and restore what has been lost or stolen. Jesus wants to heal people from the inside out, even things they don't want to face or deal with. Getting healed from past wounds is necessary to fulfill one's God-given purpose. God's love is the cure for every wound.

Swami Shivkrupanand's (Samarpan Meditation) Guru Poornima 2021 Q and A with Kids and Teenagers, www.gurutattva.org Translation by Eshita, Toronto
Truth lies and manure
This document discusses how to renew one's mind through truth rather than lies. It encourages offering one's body as a living sacrifice to God by transforming one's thinking. Several examples are given of how core beliefs can influence feelings, thoughts and behaviors either positively or negatively. The importance of truth over lies is explored, with lies said to come from the enemy while truth comes from God. Addressing the roots of issues through identifying lies and replacing them with biblical truths is recommended as part of spiritual growth.
All you need is kindfulness - A collection of Ajahn Brahm's quotes
I'm so much of a fan of Ajahn Brahm. And here is the great collection of his quotes for meditation and all. Hope you enjoy it. It's originally posted here http://www.dhammaloka.org.au/books.html.
I Cannot Do This Alone
The document is a meditation on a prayer by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in which he acknowledges his own darkness, loneliness, weakness, restlessness, and bitterness, but finds help, light, companionship, strength, peace, patience, guidance, freedom, and purpose through God, who he asks to restore and enable him so that he may live for and praise God each day, no matter what it may bring.
Truth Within Part 1.4
The document discusses the ego and its role in separating humans from the Truth/Mahanam. Some key points:
1) The ego, or sense of "I", keeps people apart from Mahanam and makes them think they are the doers rather than instruments of God.
2) Ego is the root cause of suffering and bondage. Complete surrender to God is needed to rid oneself of ego.
3) Ego and superstition are the greatest sins as they divorce humans from Truth. Ego must be cast off to attain the Kingdom of Truth.
4) The individual sense/ego intensifies life's difficulties and shuts out awareness of constant communion with God. Surre

Pursuit of Positiveness
This document discusses positive thinking and provides tips to develop a positive mindset. It defines positive thinking as expecting and visualizing desired outcomes as facts. While positive thinking is not limited to happiness, it can provide mental, physical and environmental benefits.

The document recommends self-talk, positive affirmations, and changing negative thought patterns through meditation to cultivate positive thinking. Practicing these techniques regularly with patience can help overcome negativity.

Freedom and Knowledge
Jobelle Gonzales reflects on how her understanding of freedom and knowledge has developed through taking a course in fundamental moral theology. She realized that freedom comes with responsibility and choices have consequences in determining one's morality. Prayer and discerning God's will have helped her make choices aligned with her goal of living a God-directed life and strengthening relationships. Knowledge requires using both intellect and heart to think critically about perspectives and take responsibility for one's actions and influences. She finds truth only in seeking and being with God's presence.
Operating with Precision
1) Jesus, as the light of the world, exposes sin, directs people to safety, and diagnoses spiritual sickness.
2) In his exchanges with others, Jesus uses the light of truth to examine the darkness still inside them, cutting away a little more each time.
3) True discipleship involves believing Jesus' words of truth, listening and obeying, and experiencing freedom from error as understanding of truth grows.

Summary of Points of Swami Shivkrupanand's (Samarpan Meditation) Q and A on Guru Poornima 2021 by Jaymin Patel
Waging%20 spiritual%20warfare[1]
The document discusses spiritual warfare and dealing with "garbage" that attracts demons. It states that ongoing sin, unforgiveness, and negative behaviors/attitudes are types of "garbage" that invite demonic activity. To be free of demonic influence, one must identify and remove these issues through genuine forgiveness, ending sinful habits, and changing bad behavior and emotion patterns. The document also warns that without fully removing all sources of "garbage," demons may eventually return, even after an initial deliverance.
The Spirit of Comfort
The Holy Spirit provides relief from pain and negative emotions by giving us a new perspective on past experiences, replacing them with positive experiences, helping us heal and forgive so we are no longer bitter, and enabling us to generate positive emotions regardless of our circumstances, bringing us to a place where love is our lifestyle and way of thinking so we can love our way out of pain, bitterness, sadness, and depression.

Leave the Mind-Boat (P1)
A few words of advice from a true Guru.
“It is needless for me to repeat that disease is caused by past karma and it goes away when the karma has been undergone.”
“Before one is born he is credited with a fixed number of breaths, morsels of food and amount of water. Karmic law is complete, and till the whole credit is used up, there is no power that can touch him.”
“It is easier to pay the karmic debt on the physical plane and it is more advantageous to pay as much of it as possible here as to carry it to the planes within.”
The body is a covering only. The soul took it from Kal and the borrowed thing is to be returned. We return it at death.
Guruma Guru Poornima 2021 Discourse 24july 2021
The document discusses developing complete faith and forgiveness.

It emphasizes having faith that children will be born with pure souls, and developing positive faith in family. It also stresses the importance of forgiveness in spiritual progress and purification, giving examples of how apologizing can help trees bloom again. The document encourages readers to forgive others for past wrongdoings, see challenges as opportunities to progress, and instill generosity and faith in children from a young age.
A Leap of Faith
The document discusses taking a leap of faith by listening to your inner voice and heart. It encourages embracing your deepest calling with conviction despite potential skepticism from others. While faith can inspire positive actions, fear is the greatest barrier to faith.

How to Develop a Great Church Brand & Digital Strategy
In todays fast paced, distraction prone, and busy world, it's important that your church can capture the eye and attention of those you seek to impact. Join us to learn about church brand fundamentals and how to effectively build a digital strategy around that brand so you can reach as many for Christ as possible.
Learn why it's important to:
Think about your church brand
Focus on your core audience
Establish Direction
Be Proactive vs. Reactive
Maintain coordinated, consistent efforts
Make wise ministry decisions
Save time and money
Ministry Branding Charles Collie
Was Jesus a branding expert? Did Paul reposition the church’s brand to attract Gentiles? Does your church have a brand?
If you think your brand is just a logo, a tagline, a website, a facebook fan page and some brochures, you’re only looking at some of the clothes your brand is wearing.
In his presentation, “Ministry Branding”, Charles revealed a way to see what’s at the intersection of what the Bible says about the church’s mission and the skills, desires and personality of your congregation. The real power of branding comes from standing for biblical truths in a way that is relevant to your congregation, your community and the world.
How to Do Effective Church Communications & Marketing
You'll walk away with deeper knowledge and practical tips on:
* How to make effective communication part of your core strategy.
* How to structure your communication to bring people from online to offline.
* Real world example of how one church is seeing results using a strategic digital approach.
*** Plus we will give you templates, ebooks and access to the tools we used in the real world example so you can take action quickly.
By Jason Alexis, Co-Founder at FaithVox. As ‘articulate’ as Moses and as ‘polished’ as Peter, Jason just loves passionately sharing ways churches can replicate their offline experiences, online. As a former mechanical engineer turned stay-at-home ‘Mr. Mom’ (2 boys and a loving wife), he relies heavily on data-driven, digital marketing to help churches achieve their goals. You would "click" with him if you want to remain biblically conservative but bold in the ways you share Jesus, digitally.
YOU Are the Church
In this sermon, we'll examine how we often use the word "church" to refer to a building. But this creates passiveness in us. God wants us to be active--he is actively forming and shaping us into his holy temple where he dwells. We need to be active, to participate, and to add value.
Are You A Welcoming Church (Hamilton)
This document discusses how to create a welcoming church environment. It emphasizes the importance of establishing a clear vision that promotes welcoming and communicating that vision to leadership, staff, and members. It also stresses that every aspect of a church communicates something about its brand, so elements like facilities, volunteers, signage, services, and communication should all reflect a welcoming message. Specific recommendations include training greeters, providing follow up for visitors, measuring success through goals and surveys, and keeping members informed. The overarching message is that intentionality, consistency and clear communication are needed to build a church where all people feel welcomed.
8 reasons some churches experience low visibility
The document discusses 8 reasons why some churches experience low visibility in their community. These reasons include having little to no hands-on outreach, no website or online presence, not publishing news stories, rarely inviting the community to events, lacking outdoor signs, inconsistent communication, no partnerships with other groups, and ministries focused inward rather than outward. The author is Lynette Hawkins, an ordained elder and church consultant who provides resources on hospitality, marketing, and growth.
Branding and advertising of financial services
This document discusses branding and advertising of financial services. It covers topics such as branding, brand image, brand personality, brand equity, the purpose of branding to differentiate products, and how brands create promises to consumers. Advertising strategies like informative, argumentative, and psychological appeals are also covered. The key aspects of branding discussed are using symbols and signs to create meaningful associations that position the brand and develop relationships with customers.

Visa Europe : eCommerce strategy
Please find here the presentation I've realised for VISA EUROPE for my 2d interview of the hiring process :
Initial subject : What position would you recommend to allow Visa to maintain its leadership in payment e.commerce?
Context : 7 days to realize it with my current job
Visa's conclusion of my presentation :
- Presentation was not enough VISA centric (sorry that eCommerce is not focus on Visa)
- I was supposed to explain more the V.me solution which is not yet released/official in Europe : V.me = Paypal copycat (this was not the subject !)
Very good exercise, but very disappointed with Visa methodology and behavior.
Anyway, the presentation is not perfect, but I should have charge VISA Europe.
Because, I 'm not a Visa collaborator, I can share this presentation I've realised.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

One Woman to Another
One woman offers a helping hand and support to another. She shares what little wealth she has through acts of kindness. As friends and sisters, they face challenges together, sharing stories and finding comfort in each other's company over a cup of tea. Though life brings difficulties like facing mortality, the bond between women helps them get through hardships as they support one another.
Behind the Eight Ball
The poem describes being in a difficult situation like being the eight ball in a game of pool, waiting helplessly for the opponent to take their shot. The speaker feels targeted and afraid, as if waiting for some unknown fate or lesson to be delivered by a powerful force they cannot control or understand. They hope to either find meaning in their predicament or a way to change their unfortunate circumstances.
Born to Love the Thrill
1. The poem describes someone who loves the thrill of moving fast and flying high, yet struggles with letting others get close due to a fear of being vulnerable.
2. They experience a thrill from taking risks but also crash when those risks lead to overwhelming fear before "waking".
3. There is a tension between craving excitement and adventure while also fearing intimacy that could reveal their human side and lead to emotional connection.
Between Shadows
A woman who wanders from dusk and storms restlessly knows mourning. She addresses her masked face and the quarreling race within her. As a beggar of time and fallen grace, she gathers weeds to her breast as if they were flowers, seeking rest in shallow waters. To walk between heaven and earth, one must first walk between shadows.
We Are Strong
We women carry a legacy of destroying what we can as effete pawns. Though we were given fruit at our table whose innocence drove us there, we tore apart God from birth. As women who have fathered our men, we know we are strong, willing, and able to pick up the pieces and mend what we can. We women need pardon for the hurt we have caused.
My Brother's Keeper
This poem explores the narrator's need to experience both the highest highs and lowest lows in life in order to fully understand themselves and others. They freely venture to both heaven and hell to dwell within souls and heal hurts. The narrator feels they could never truly know another if they did not feel their heart. They are not afraid to carry others or go to the places that make us real. The narrator describes themselves as their brother's keeper, sharing the same name and experience of the ups and downs that define life and the grace found within.
Mystery Fall to Wing1
1) A bird is perched on a branch above the narrator, tapping to rouse them from sleep.
2) The bird shakes feathers from its wings that come falling down on the narrator's head.
3) The narrator gathers the feathers in a bouquet, touched by the bird offering this piece of itself, and does not want to lose or let the feathers fly away.
