Cultural Challenge 9

Public witness to that which we value the most.

Spiritual Awakening:
Today’s culture declares silence for those who would talk about their God. The cultural bias is that such silence is needed, to protect the rights of those who do not believe in God. However, experiential story telling open to all to share that which they value the most is culturally inspiring, and practical. Talking about that which one values the most levels the playing field for all. Once the playing field is leveled and all share that which they value the most, the God story gets out in a culturally acceptable manner.

This public witness thru interfaith dialogue can occur at work, in a village or town, or in any public venue to share that which we value the most. The dialogue permits each to focus on each other’s story of extreme value from God for the common good. Many stories are made into videos “Where Work Meets Faith.”

Charism Unfolding | Donald Brayer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-88Kd4P7Ko8
10 minutes

Donald Brayer, Insurance Expert Witness, will share 3 examples of being called by the Holy Spirit. Hear how he responded and a gift of the Holy Spirit, or charism evolved. Unlike a gift or talent used solely to benefit one’s self, a charism is always outwardly directed for the good of the community.

A Ninth Spiritual Awakening – public witness to that which we value the most

The Seminar Series content is consistent with natural law and our faith. A Seminar Series Guide included in the 999 digital retreat kit provides a communication protocol that permits public witness in a context of a house of worship or in a context of the public at large, a

s for example in a work group. And in both contexts if the group helps us to accomplish that which we value the most, group loyalty, group support, and cohesiveness are maximized. Small groups of both types can help us to accomplish that which we value the most.

The Seminar Series is about using the gifts given to you centered on an area of meaningful expansion for yourself to build up community. Each series will feature presenters who will tell real life stories and how their faith played an important role. Hearing many different stories in our Seminar Series may increase connections among us that will bring us all closer together increasing our sense of community.

The event’s social benefit is getting to know each other better. The more we know about each other, the more opportunity we have for being connected.

Every person who presents on a subject of God’s goodness, where work meets faith, reclaims out of confusion and chaos, a true real life understanding of the goodness of God. That true understanding of the goodness of God is our testimony across America.

Consultants…Many presenters are Consultants who offer free appointments for up to one hour of consultation on a topic of God or work expertise from their presentation. The initiative is accompanied by an honorary ethics association membership for qualifying presenters as a lay association. Many Presenters become Consultants. To be a member of the lay association, Consultants agree to support each other’s faith gifts, defined as extreme value from God for the common good, agree to support the Seminar, and seek to lead a more faithful life, defined as loving God and loving neighbor.

Become a presenter in a context of the public at large sharing that which you value the most.

Today’s culture declares silence for those who would talk about their God. The cultural bias is that such silence is needed, to protect the rights of those who do not believe in God. However, experiential story telling open to all to share that which they value the most is culturally inspiring, and practical. Talking about that which one values the most levels the playing field for all.

Loquate provides a communication protocol for story telling about that which you value the most. Once the playing field is leveled, the God story gets out in a culturally acceptable manner. Loquate.tv media is a pure channel to that which you value the most. God is the ultimate goal of life for those who claim to serve Him. Since 92% of Americans believe in God according to a Gallup survey June 3, 2011, for one who claims God as the center of their life, God is that which one values the most.

And the example of one who has found their story in God’s story, always wins on a level playing field because God is God. It is God who evangelizes.

When that which we value the most is shared in a group of which we are a part, a significant increase occurs in our engagement with the group, provided the group does not reject that which we value the most.

Storytelling is possibly the most fundamental avenue for connection among humans. Many 20 to 50 year olds come from broken homes and seek God centered faith groups. In modern society today we are bombarded with all kinds of media that is focused on a superficial story. That story can be detrimental to real community. Feeling isolated is something so common today that everyone experiences it at some point. When we listen to the stories of others, and share our own we create connections. We realize that we are not alone in despair, in struggle, and in triumph.

“Where Work Meets Faith” creates a safe environment for us to share our experiences. Some of us are further along on a path of connection and belonging to the community, and hearing the stories of people at all different stages in life helps us in our own lives. Each presenter draws his own crowd of attendees. We all play a part in this world. It’s how we choose to be a part that makes all the difference. Come hear others’ stories and come share your own.

The far goal of God is peace thru total inclusion, not exclusion of any. We start with our small group and move outward from here.

“Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.” Colossians 3: 11
