When helping people make sure you realize that you are not God, and that you aren’t the one doing the saving, that job is left to someone much greater. Do you want to be someone who keeps asking for fish, or someone who can fish on their own? Protect you energy - Don’t place too much of your own energy on things you can’t control. God teaches you how to fish - Prayer is not just about what God can give you, it’s about what God is helping you become. If something in your life is missing those things won’t make up for it, they are just band-aids. Material things can’t fill voids - We must look for something deeper than the cars, watches, money, and jewelry to be fulfilled. Everyone has their own path, respect what you’ve been able to do by not measuring it to other peoples timelines. Here are my takeaways: Comparison nullifies what you conquered - Being proud of your accomplishments only goes so far if you keep comparing it to what others have. We learn a lot from Darnell in this episode, so whether you a Christian or not there are plenty of gems to soak up. It was this process of reconciliation that made him a better man, husband, father, and leader. He himself had challenges and one of his largest was discovering who his birth parents were. Darnell is someone who would tell you his life wasn’t perfect either. It’s no secret entrepreneurs and business owners are taking a hit during this time so hopefully, something you hear in this podcast ministers to you. I wanted to ask some hard questions to a man of faith, to speak to those who may actually be losing theirs. This week I speak with Pastor Darnell Barrett of Hillsong Church on the power of prayer, especially in hard times.
