Happy Thanksgiving 2024!

This episode is part of our Legacy Builder series called “Count Your Blessings” because Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to think about all you have been blessed with in the past year.

What traditions do you have at Thanksgiving?

In our family, we have Turkey Tom/Tina. This tradition was started by my wife years ago. She brings Turkey Tom/Tin out at dinner a few weeks before Thanksgiving. She gives us each one or two paper feathers. She asks us to write out the things we feel blessed to have in our life on the paper feathers. My wife collects them all and glues each one onto the paper turkey.

This year has been one of the worst because of our family’s health trials but God carried us through it!

Life is hard, but we aren’t made to carry the burden alone.

I hope you find encouragement in the podcast. Here are some songs that encouraged me to trust God with this trial.

Rest For Your Soul

I Still Believe 

Faithfully

Evidence

The Jesus Way

Our God Will Go Before Us

153 | Leadership Leaves Scars – Patrick Booth

Leadership is hard. Leading others well is risky. It means taking the chance that things could go poorly, or failure could happen, people could be hurt, or you could be hurt.

But it’s worth it.

I have many more scars now, which I’m very proud of because it means that I took the risks I needed in business. 

I’ve noticed a lot of the scars I have fall into one of these three categories:

SCARS from unfair assumptions

SCARS from my emotional reactions

SCARS from broken trust
