53 | 🙈 Is it an inconvenience or a handicap?

Where you are isn’t who you are. It’s just the present location in which you find yourself. 📍 I love Myra’s stories about Carl… … he blind husband. (Myra has helped blind Veterans for 30+ years and started a nonprofit, Rewind for the Blind) that elevates this mission… 🚀🚀🚀   “He was going to do whatever he wanted to do,” she said, speaking of Carl. … “even if it took a little patience and figuring.” You see? Where you are is NOT who you are. Nor is it where you must remain. But it is where you must begin… ⭐️   Carl notably said, “Light is overrated.” It tracks with Charlie Boswell’s statement that “Blindness is an inconvenience— not a handicap.” It’s quite a perspective… ✔️   And that leads me to this… Meet people where they are. Blind. Sighted. Whatever. We all carry untapped superpowers and we all have areas that might be— according others— seen as odd, unique, weak, different… Meet people where they are. And then move forward together… 🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌     __________ Links you need to know about = ⛳️ Rewind for the Blind = https://rewindfortheblind.org [https://rewindfortheblind.org]  ⭐️ Donation link for Rewind for the Blind = https://rewindfortheblind.org/donate/ [https://rewindfortheblind.org/donate/]  ______________ 🎙️ GY6 events = www.GY6.online/events [http://www.GY6.online/events]  📳 The “best of” Soul Wholeness audio = www.Jenkins.tv/best [http://www.Jenkins.tv/best]  (free audio course) 🔗 One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC [https://www.jenkins.tv/PC]

52 | ⛳️ How to golf if you're blind

How do blind golfers actually golf? And, then… … to make it more applicable for all of us… … what can we take away from that and apply to all of life…? 🤷‍♂️ I’ll let you in on it. I found three things that make the magic work… ⛳️⛳️⛳️   1️⃣ = The swing. That is, you must have the correct mechanics. (That’s true whether it’s golf or anything else.)   2️⃣ = The goal. You’ve got to know where the hole is… How far is it away from you know? How long does it reasonably, actually take to get there… (In life, a lot of people flounder out too soon b/c they didn’t actually prep to go the distance.)   3️⃣ = The direction. This one is about alignment. Doesn’t matter if you have the right mechanics (i.e., the right kind of swing— on golf or anything else) or the ability to go the distance (i.e., endure) IF you’re moving in the wrong direction… Enduring in the wrong direction? Just means you move further off course… Doing with the right mechanics? Just means you’ll be more efficient at the chaos….   🚌 Oh, and a pro tip… You’ll find it FAR easier if you do it WITH the right people. Connection and community matter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yeah, this was about golf… … and now about golf. It works in every area of life.       __________ Links you need to know about = ⛳️ Rewind for the Blind = https://rewindfortheblind.org [https://rewindfortheblind.org]  ⭐️ Donation link for Rewind for the Blind = https://rewindfortheblind.org/donate/ [https://rewindfortheblind.org/donate/]  ______________ 🎙️ GY6 events = www.GY6.online/events [http://www.GY6.online/events]  📳 The “best of” Soul Wholeness audio = www.Jenkins.tv/best [http://www.Jenkins.tv/best]  (free audio course) 🔗 One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC [https://www.jenkins.tv/PC]

51 |❤️‍🔥Your problem may be your purpose

The problem you’re facing may be the very platform God will use to facilitate your purpose and serve others at a higher level… Sounds strange, for sure. We often want to run FROM struggles… 🤷‍♂️ Charlie Boswell expected to become a pro baseball player. But then something happened. A draft delayed the contract. And then that got punted forever when he was injured in combat… 💥 In time, he adapted the skills he learned from the past… … placed them INTO the struggle he was facing… … and lived a life exponentially greater than anything he might have imagined. ⭐️   Doesn’t mean it was easy. In fact, it was harder… ✔️   But, this is where GRACE kicks in… When we’re weak, God moves in even stronger (2 Corinthians 12:10). Or, to say it another way, grace moves towards weakness…. 💪   Now… The details of your story are likely very different than Charlie Boswell’s. But the story… … it can be the story of all of us. That’s how redemption works.     __________ Links you need to know about = ⛳️ Rewind for the Blind = https://rewindfortheblind.org [https://rewindfortheblind.org] ⭐️ Donation link for Rewind for the Blind = https://rewindfortheblind.org/donate/ [https://rewindfortheblind.org/donate/] ______________ 🎙️ GY6 events = www.GY6.online/events [http://www.GY6.online/events] 📳 The “best of” Soul Wholeness audio = www.Jenkins.tv/best [http://www.Jenkins.tv/best] (free audio course) 🔗 One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC [https://www.jenkins.tv/PC]

46 | ✝️ "Church people" and trauma

In the final of three talks, Beau Armistead and I discuss “church people” and trauma. The church should be the safest place for hurting people to go. Many times, it’s not… … and that’s not necessarily because “church people” are bad. Rather, it’s because we don’t train people in the church to address soul health— any more than we train them to deal with physical health. 🤷‍♂️   We are all spirit, soul, and body… … and each part, though connected and interrelated, matters. 🧩   To achieve total wholeness, we need training on addressing all three parts. That is— back to where this thing began two episodes ago— we need info that is: 🙏 Scripturally solid 🧬 Scientifically accurate 🧐 Simple to understand & apply     _______________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG [http://www.GY6.online/FG]  Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events [http://www.GY6.online/events]  The “Best of” Soul Wholeness, free audio = www.Jenkins.tv/best [http://www.Jenkins.tv/best]  Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV [http://www.Jenkins.tv/SWV]  Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC [https://www.jenkins.tv/PC]    Links to Sojourn Counseling ⭐️ https://www.sojourncounseling.org [https://www.sojourncounseling.org]  ⭐️ https://atease.org [https://atease.org]

45 | 😎 Three awesome (and weird) therapies that actually work

Beau Armistead, the founder and Executive Director of Sojourn Counseling, gave me a quick whirlwind / 30,000 foot overview of three awesomely odd (but helpful) healing modalities. We talk about— 👇   1️⃣ EMDR / Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — super-effective therapy that alleviates (and even eliminates) traumatic distress by using bilateral stimulation… … and mimics what your brain does while you’re in REM / Rapid Eye Movement sleep.   2️⃣ Brain Spotting— — a deep dive (i.e., if EMDR is snorkeling, this is scuba diving) into specific areas of distress, based on WHAT & WHERE hurtful / harmful memories are stored… … sometimes, it creates a “spot” on the brain. If we can find that PLACE, we can heal the “stuff” that’s there.   3️⃣ Micro-current Neuro Feedback (MCN) — a means of rebalancing the brain through small electrical currents (i.e., think: whereas drugs / pharmaceuticals provide chemical relief, most of the issues in the brain are electrical… so, often, what we do is the equivalent of calling in a plumber when we really need an electrician. Turns out, your brain is neuroplastic. It can be rewired. And, in the same way it can be rewired based on hurts, it can also be rewired based on healing…   ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 For clarity… … I’m not trained or licensed in ANY of those. I’m a teacher, a communicator… Beau is the pro in counseling / therapeutic arena. So, I learned into his wisdom / experience to relay what we could acquire and pass on. _______________ Links referenced See the GY6 resources, referenced here: www.GY6.online/FG [http://www.GY6.online/FG]  Upcoming GY6 workshops = www.GY6.online/events [http://www.GY6.online/events]  The “Best of” Soul Wholeness, free audio = www.Jenkins.tv/best [http://www.Jenkins.tv/best]  Access the Soul Wholeness video course = www.Jenkins.tv/SWV [http://www.Jenkins.tv/SWV]  Coaching One-to-one personal coaching = https://www.jenkins.tv/PC [https://www.jenkins.tv/PC]    Links to Sojourn Counseling ⭐️ https://www.sojourncounseling.org [https://www.sojourncounseling.org]  ⭐️ https://atease.org [https://atease.org]
