Let the judging begin!
Posted by: | CommentsThis past weekend I was in Denver, Colorado, enjoying the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and speaking to a great group of leaders.
And apparently many of YOU were leaving comments on my last blog post. Wow! 1,090 entries in the Big Case Giveaway!
Now a group of Thomas Nelson employees has the job of determining the best comments – what they consider the 20 most effective and creative ideas for using a case of Everyone Communicates, Few Connect.
The judges expect to be done by the end of next week, and as soon as they give me the list of TWENTY winners, I’ll post them right here and contact them via email.
Thank you for taking the time to share your creativity and strategy with all of us in the comments. While only 20 commenters will “win,” I’m confident that many more will influence the connecting ability of blog readers around the world.
P.S. If you’d like another chance to win – this time a single signed copy of Everyone Communicates, Few Connect – then go visit the personal blog of Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers. He’s giving away 100 of them this Friday, April 16. Details and instructions can be found on his blog.

Posted by: | CommentsGetting ready to help me with my book? Only two weeks until the first chapter goes up right here on this blog.
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw my posts about opportunities to view my teaching on TV and online last week.
But trust me: I, of all people, understand anyone’s reluctance to adopt yet another piece of technology. So if you don’t get my Twitter updates, here’s where I was on TV last week (and can be seen online now):
God Will Give You Hope, 8/9
Joyce Meyer’s Enjoying Everyday Life
View recent episodes: Attitude Adjustment 1 and 2, 8/10 & 8/11
Praise the Lord with Matt and Laurie Crouch on TBN
View episode from 8/13
I hope these videos serve you well. I’m not used to being on television that much, but I certainly appreciate the opportunity. On TV, here on this blog, and on Twitter, my primary goal is to add value to your life.
And if you’re ready to take the plunge into social media, take a look at my tips on Twitter for Dummies (i.e. ME) at the bottom of this post.

Chatting with Dave Ramsey about dreams and financial peace
Posted by: | CommentsMy trip to Asia is still going well. I’m in Shanghai, China for the next few days. Thank you for the prayers, kind thoughts, and warm welcomes you’ve sent my way.
But for today’s post, here’s an interview I did last month (May 12) with my friend Dave Ramsey for his TV show on Fox Business Network. I love spending time with Dave, and I think his message about wise money management is especially needed in today’s new economy.
As you might expect, we talked about dreams. I hope it serves you well:
Entire episodes of the Dave Ramsey TV Show are available for viewing on hulu.com. (This episode is not yet posted, but it will be eventually.)
And on DaveRamsey.com, you can listen to his daily three-hour radio show live (or download a podcast). Plus the site itself offers a wealth of resources to help you get out of debt and be a wise steward of your resources.
Where am I this week?
Posted by: | CommentsThis week I’m enjoying time with extended family for Easter. The kids and grandbabies are here, and we’re having a wonderful time making memories.
But here are a couple places you can find me both online and in person in the near future:
I spoke about a very famous dreamer at the Crystal Cathedral recently.
Two of the four messages I taught at are live on The Hour of Power.
For free, you can watch on streaming video or read transcripts. Also check your local TV listings for the next two episodes.
In south Florida this weekend? I’ll be preaching at Christ Fellowship Church for Easter Services.
Saturday evening: Royal Palm Campus, 5 and 7 pm.
Sunday morning: Stuart Campus, 8 am, 10 am and 12 pm
Click here for directions to all campuses. (Note: Different service times for Easter.)
Want to discuss my new book with others online?
The folks at Crystal Cathedral have started a book club with Put Your Dream to the Test as its first selection. Join the discussion here.

Have a wonderful week and a meaningful Easter celebration.
