Sunday Recap With Ryan Meeks
*Ryan Meeks, pastor of EastLake Church in Seattle, spoke on Sunday. It was one of our best Sundays yet! Thanks to all of you who commented afterwards, "If Ryan started a church in Kenosha, we'd kiss Great Lakes Church goodbye." I love you too.
*Ryan was lying when he said that I must be the first pastor in Kenosha, he knows of, who has undergone a sex change.
*I am not lying when I say that Ryan looks like the love child of Ben Stiller and Jason Lee (from My Name is Earl).
Here are five great thoughts from Sunday's talk, "What To Do When... You're Discouraged":
1 - Discouragement makes us more vulnerable to temptation.
2 - When you're discouraged, the first thing you should do is schedule rest. Tired people are prone to discouragement.
3 - Discouraged people need to make it a priority to encourage others! (Proverbs 11:25) Encouraging others changes us.
4 - Your discouragement won't last forever! Never lose that perspective. God is always with us! (Psalm 43:5)
5 - You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Don't hang with people who are "downers"!
In closing, here's a classic "Debbie Downer" sketch from SNL...
