Discover your God given Purpose with indie author John JR Rennie

Discover your God given Purpose with indie author John JR Rennie

in this episode we talk to author John "JR" Rennie As the founder of a 30+ year business software company, I thought I was going to ride off into the sunset and retire. All that changed in 2015 when God decided to redirect me to my True Purpose. Promptings, new understandings and inspired guidance brought me to founding the BrushFires Ministry. A ministry that helps other Believers discover their God Given Purpose and Destiny, just like God had led me to mine. The BrushFires Ministry has created a program and toolset that allows believers to discover their strengths and weaknesses. Once they have done this for themselves, then they can discover this for their family, friends and other ministry members. There is nothing worse than feeling you are being misunderstood, overlooked and spinning your wheels as a Believer. I should know. Our program and services can help the believer to find their jam and achieve that joy filled state of mind that only The Lord can provide. In 2023 the BrushFires program is expanding with the following new services; BrushFires Digital WorkShop - an online video series to lead individuals, couples, small groups, churches and orgranizations through our WorkShop materials. The Graduate Training programs - through three new workbooks (Mentoring Manual, Graduate Workbook and the Instructor's Manual) we delve into deeper design insight, counseling tools, group dynamics and Church Body Building techniques. This is also facilitated through Zoom conference training for the leaders. Church Leadership Traing programs - using the Graduate Training materials, we coach church leaders to implement the BrushFires curriculumn and to facilitate the BrushFires program inhouse. This is also facilitated through Zoom conference training for the leaders. The ReKindle coaching program - Follow up with Design Discovery Meeting graduates to help them to pursue their purpose. Ignite Ministry Coaching - a facilitated Motivated Role exercise to help ministries brainstorm to new solutions, new ministries and new endeavors.

Unveiling Truth and Forgiveness: 'Letters from East of Nowhere' with indie author Kennerly Clay

Join us on "Conversations with Indie Authors" as your host, Brittani Starr, engages in a captivating dialogue with the talented Kennerly Clay, author of the compelling memoir, "Letters from East of Nowhere - Daddy's Words to Live, Drink & Die By." Kennerly Clay's story is a deeply personal exploration of life's consequences when lived free of commitments, set against the backdrop of a turbulent era defined by wandering, music, and overindulgence. Inspired by the free-spirited lifestyle romanticized in Jack Kerouac's iconic 1957 novel, "On the Road," Kennerly's father embarked on a journey that led to a lifetime marked by failed relationships, encounters with the law, and a relentless battle with alcoholism. Amidst the chaos of his life, one constant remained—the love for the written word, expressed through letters, poetry, and undying affection for his children. In "Letters from East of Nowhere," Kennerly Clay masterfully finds her own voice. Her memoir offers an unflinchingly honest reflection on life, delving into the passionate madness of the Sixties while navigating the challenging terrain of loving a father who consistently chose alcohol over all else. During this insightful conversation, Kennerly Clay will share her journey of finding her voice and the profound significance of speaking one's truth in the art of memoir writing. Her story touches on themes of forgiveness, healing, addiction, recovery, and complex family relationships, making it a captivating and relatable exploration for all listeners. Prepare to be inspired and moved as Kennerly Clay takes us on a poignant journey through the pages of her memoir, revealing the power of resilience, love, and ultimately, understanding.
