AI makes us smurt

You may have noticed this in yourself or someone else: the trap of using AI and feeling smarter than we really are. Here's the lurking danger of using AI without being aware of what it does.   Go to www.theforged.org/subscribe [http://www.theforged.org/subscribe] to check out our newsletter. and, if you're looking for The Forged's social media, here it is: Instagram: @become_the_forged Facebook: www.facebook.com/becomeforged [http://www.facebook.com/becomeforged] Youtube: www.youtube.com/@becometheforged [http://www.youtube.com/@becometheforged]

Discipling/mentoring is not about enabling people

Being a pastor (discipling, mentoring, guiding) is not about saving people. It's about guiding those who choose to be guided. Not everyone actually wants to heal or find solutions.   Go to www.theforged.org/subscribe [http://www.theforged.org/subscribe] to check out our newsletter. and, if you're looking for The Forged's social media, here it is: Instagram: @become_the_forged Facebook: www.facebook.com/becomeforged [http://www.facebook.com/becomeforged] Youtube: www.youtube.com/@becometheforged [http://www.youtube.com/@becometheforged]

Stop making the wrong decisions

If you feel like you constantly make the wrong decisions, then it's probably a result of you making decisions based on some of these factors.

It's not about the past or future: it's about living out the journey

We spend a lot of time and energy focusing on things outside of our control. We consume ourselves with the past and the future. We believe that "next week" or "next year", we'll really live. And we tell ourselves that for a lifetime. It's time to embrace the journey and to find our satisfaction from it.   Go to www.theforged.org/subscribe [http://www.theforged.org/subscribe] to check out our newsletter. and, if you're looking for The Forged's social media, here it is: Instagram: @become_the_forged Facebook: www.facebook.com/becomeforged [http://www.facebook.com/becomeforged] Youtube: www.youtube.com/@becometheforged [http://www.youtube.com/@becometheforged]
