Kindness
Where does your motivation lie when it comes to kindness? Do you do it for yourself or for other people?
Fake it till you make it is a useful tool when it comes to kindness. Try doing a random act of kindness the next time you are having an "off" day.
Luke 10: 25-37
"How you behave is better than what you believe"
Religion literally means to connect us to a lost part of ourselves or spiritual foundation.

Patience
In today's world, patience is far and few between. This week Verlyn and Cameron discuss patience and how it affects our spiritual, professional, and personal lives. Try to carve out time for yourself to sit and be patient. Always try to go into a conversation or confrontation with the mindset of being patient enough to truly hear what the person is saying.

Peace
Shalom is the Hebrew word meaning Peace
There seems to be a connection between rugged individualism and religion when viewed through the lens of Peace
"Let there be peace on earth and let it start with me"
If a community is responsible for peace, who does the responsibility lie with? - Everyone. Start today. Start now. Be kind.

Joy
Sometimes assigning words or values to emotion detracts from their genuineness. Try just mediating and enjoy the feeling of Joy.
Brain Lock - https://www.amazon.com/Brain-Lock-Twentieth-Anniversary-Obsessive-Compulsive/dp/006256143X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=brain+lock&qid=1591805840&sr=8-1
Joy is often accompanied with realizing the blessings of your life.
“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
― Rumi

Loving Others
Given the events of the weekend, Verlyn and Cameron thought it would be appropriate about how we can best love others.
Behind Love is knowing and understanding. You can never truly love someone to the highest quantity. Love continues to grow and is endless.
Love is going to require some self sacrifice, make sure you are emotional available to accept that before entering a relationship.

Ambiguous Loss
Podcast Notes:
Writing is a tool that can be used to help process emotions, especially grief.
"Song Sung Blue" - Neil Diamond
Every Decision has gains and losses. When you experience certain losses, you can even lose a piece of your identity. Allow yourself to process everything in order to heal.
Aging is a daily reminder of a reoccurring compounded loss.
"Our memories help define us but they can also confine us"

Citizen of the Kingdom
This week I welcome my dad on the podcast!
Podcast Notes:
We are in the same narrative that Jesus was in.
"Be as wise as a serpent but as innocent as a dove"
Richard Rohr - "The Art of Letting Go"
The narrative is what it is. There is no changing it.

GoodBye
This Week's Podcast Notes:
The illusion of death is that it is "one and done". Try viewing it as the start of a nontraditional relationship.
"Life after the death of a loved one doesn't get easier, it gets more familiar."
It will take years of creating new experiences without the loved one that has passed away. Embrace these new experiences and create new memories with the ones still around you.
The 5 gifts that death brings us are not meant to be benchmarks of healthy grieving. They are just coping tools to help you and your loved one heal in an uncomfortable time.
