Summary
Gumption - it's a word we don't hear much anymore. There was a time when many - if not most - people spoke of gumption. Some have, some don't, but all need it. Gumption is the self-initiative, aggressive moxie that has the courage to change the status quo. This lost key to success taps personal resourcefulness, provides bold enthusiasm, and persists in moving forward. It may sound like an old-fashioned idea but I believe the time has come for this concept to be renewed and restored. Got Gumption? Gumption is about taking responsibility, facing your shortcomings, and determining to grow. I didn't mention this during the episode but it occurs to me now...I find it interesting that gumption contains the name Gump, as in Forest Gump. Do you see the picture? Forest Gump never let his "slowness" keep him from the things he desired to accomplish, even if they appeared to be accidental. Forest was always thinking ahead and moving forward. He took life a day at a time, dealt with what each day brought him, and did not make excuses. I think there are some great similarities there that serve as instructional illustrations for us all. Gumption is not sitting back and just letting life happen to you. It's about taking charge of what you can - your attitude and actions - and making the most of it in living for Christ. Gumption is about increasing self-awareness that focuses you on what lies ahead and taking it on head on. In this episode, I discuss eight things you can do to increase your "gumption level" to realize your potential to transform your life. What You Can Do Use your mistakes as learning opportunities Celebrate your daily successes Avoid the traps of negative self-talk and others' negativity Remind yourself why you set this goal to start with Increase your resourcefulness Be persistent Increase your enthusiasm by being fit and healthy Be courageous - not avoiding fear but "doing it scared" Related Podcasts Commit To Who You Want To Be The Magic Power of Music

Creator & Redeemer – DTLC Radio 094
Release Date: 07/10/2019
Description: There is a difference in the ways we deal with God. God has "performed" three primary works: Creation, Providence, and Redemption. In these works God has three primary roles: Creator, Ruler, and Redeemer. Every person ever conceived deals with God in at least two of the three ways. Each one of us deals with God as Creator. Each one of us deals with God as Ruler. But only some of us deal with God as Redeemer. Instructions from the Creator As Creator, God has every right to give and expect obedience to His commandments. Those commandments He gives in His role as Creator are what Paul calls works of law or simply works. He uses this phrase throughout his letters, especially in Romans and Galatians. The question is: What constitute works or works of law? Answer: Anything done by creatures (i.e. you and me) in response to the law commandments. This necessarily includes both positive (obedience) and negative (disobedience) responses. The law codes given by God - either the creation law) Romans 1:21), moral law of the heart (Romans 2:14-15), or Law of Moses (Romans 2) - all provide law conditions. In fact, they require a single condition: absolute and total obedience. Instructions from the Redeemer On the other hand, in His role as Redeemer, God has also given instructions under grace. These "grace conditions" are instructions given by the Redeemer to sinners on how to receive salvation. This is a critical distinction, and one many fail to recognize. God has given us specific conditions by which we can receive His gift of grace and salvation. Law conditions represent "necessity of precept" while grace conditions represent "necessity of means". Actually, law conditions - if kept perfectly - represent both necessity of precept and necessity of means. What are we talking about? You'll have to tune in to this episode of DTLC Radio to learn more. ___________________________________ Study Romans From the Beginning

DTLC Radio 078 – Righteousness Defined
Release Date: 02/27/2019
Description: "For in it [the gospel] the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'But the righteous man shall live by faith'.” Romans 1:17. Critical Understanding It is absolutely critical to understand what righteousness is, whether our own or God's. If it is revealed in the gospel - and Paul says it is - then we must strive to understand it. To understand we must first rightly define righteousness, biblically. This has been the failure of the church for several decades. Instead of rightly seeing the righteousness of God in the gospel, many have concluded that God is ONLY love. This is neither true nor is it conveyed in Scripture. It has become commonplace to redefine terms or simply ignore them outright. Many "christians" believe the gospel is about social justice, liberating the oppressed of our culture, and making the goal material blessings in this life. This is NOT what Paul is describing in Romans. A Right Definition Righteousness has everything to do with the law. More specifically, the law of God. Human righteousness is about conforming to God's will and His law. you can also define righteousness as meeting the requirements of God's law. Therefore, by definition, sin is not keeping God's law or meeting its requirements. In fact, the Apostle John gives this very definition for sin in 1 John 3:4. Understanding righteousness is a primary component to understanding the gospel of Christ. It also helps us define "the righteousness of God" that is revealed in the gospel. This, we will address next time. In this episode, we explore the meaning of righteousness, how we fail to be righteous, and why this is a problem. ______________________________ Previous Episodes In This Series

DTLC Radio 066 – The Success Equation
Release Date: 09/20/2018
Description: The Secret to Success Well, there isn't one! There is no secret to success. Some of it is what you know - knowledge. Sometimes it's who you know - network. Some (actually all) of it is Divine Providence - God's will - what He performs, prefers, or permits. More of it is skill and ability. The truth is, it is all of the above. In nearly any and every area of your life, success is determined by the combination of knowledge, skill, and ability. Just knowing "stuff" isn't going to get the job done. You have to do it! Knowledge + Skill + Ability Many, too many, believe that knowing and knowledge will be enough to get them through. Not true. Knowledge with no work ethic, no will or desire to apply yourself, and no skill or ability to accomplish the tasks will lead only to utter disappointment. There is a good kind of failure and in fact, we discuss it during this podcast. The world no longer cares what you know. The world cares about what you can do with what you know. Do you have the skill, ability, and determination to rightly apply your knowledge? A lot of people are afraid of being tried and tested to see if they have the ability. Don't be. That fear is generally rooted is fear of failure. Failure should not be feared but embraced. Why? Because failure means you're trying and moving forward. For most people, failure means falling down along the way and having - by necessity - to go back to the beginning and start over. Who does that? You don't do that when you're teaching your children to walk. They fall down - you pick them up right where they are - and help them continue forward. We need to learn to see failure as an iteration - an act to be repeated and built on - as part of a process toward a desired goal. You don't have to re-start from scratch. Move forward from the point at which you failed. Learn. Grow. Move ahead. Failure As Foundation Failure is foundational for the development of self-confidence, self-evaluation, and self-motivation. The knowledge and experience of recovery after a mistake or failure provides the fuel for moving ahead. Bettering yourself can only happen in the context of failures experienced, not ongoing successes. You learn for more from failing than you ever do from succeeding. _________________________ Related Keys to Successful Living

DTLC Radio 064 – Your Theology Matters
Release Date: 08/30/2018
Description: Theology matters. Knowing what you believe and why you believe is foundational to being able to live a life pleasing before God. It is also a cornerstone principle to my work as a Christian life coach. I encounter people on a regular basis - Christians - who do not know the basic doctrines of the Bible. That means they don't know what the Bible teaches and therefore have little basis for their beliefs. In other words, they've built their lives on sand. Theology Matters Doctrine is a term that many Christians - and too many preachers - are steering away from. Doctrine simply means teaching. In this case, Christian teaching or biblical teaching. Under this general umbrella are two other branches: theology and ethics. Theology deals specifically with the study and knowledge of God and His Word. What He wants us to believe. Ethics addresses how we are to behave. If you want your living to be right, your beliefs and thinking have to be correct first. Theology = What is true Ethics = What is right Right believing will lead to right living and both will be pleasing to and in keeping with God's will. Therefore, apart from doctrine, you cannot know who God is or how to please Him. Doesn't that seem fairly important, especially if you call yourself a Christian?! College Words Many people are reluctant to study theology because they fear the terminology. They are under the false impressions that learning doctrine and theology are exclusive to academics and bible scholars. Not true! In fact, Scripture makes is very clear that every Christian bears responsibility for knowing biblical doctrine and living in accordance with it. How can you live it if you don't know what is expected? And yet, millions of Christians are following the lead of churches and preachers who continually downplay and steer them away from God's Word. This divorce and separation between theology and right living cannot be found in the Bible. As a matter of fact, Paul especially condemns such practice. Nearly all of the New Testament letters present doctrines followed by how to live them out. How can you live in obedience to unknown laws and expectations? These and other issues relative to theology are discussed in this episode. _______________________________ Related Episodes What You Believe About God Affects What You Believe About Yourself What You Believe Matters
