Dr. Joel Martin recently participated in the filming of the exciting “next step” in transformation through film. It is called The Answer and it has been produced by Ed Madison and Dr. Ray Blanchard. There is a trailer that you can view on YouTube. You will likely want to learn more, know more, and see more as a result of this short intro. There will be screenings during October so stay tuned.
In terms of the subject of this blog, I am be interested in your response. I suggest that the answers lie within, the internal, then go to the external. Is this perspective culturally driven? Likely.
Here’s a quote from Ed.
Can we really live a life without limits? Some critics of metaphysics say we sell people the false hope of “having it all.” What do you say? Does life, by its very nature have limits? Or can anyone REALLY have it ALL? Ed Madison
But…in terms of having it all struggle is a fact of life and not necessarily a “bad” thing. Pastor Benjamin Thomas, Tanner Chapel in Phoenix, says, “Until you’ve been through something, you can’t be a witness” and that there are two sides of a crisis, “danger and opportunity.”
In the midst of our challenges, I believe that it’s up to us to frame events in a way that serves us no matter how difficult this may be. Given the choices available, choosing to feel that a crisis is an opportunity can lead one to a more abundant, happy, and healthy life experience.
