Learning How to Do Life Well
Want do you want to happen personally in 2012? Do you want to just survive the year…or do you want to thrive?
Tim explores the foundation of what it takes to thrive and experience the “rich, satisfying life” that is God’s purpose for every person.
We begin a new teaching arc – Smart People, Dumb Choices – that explores the choices we make and why we fail to choose wisely, especially when we know better.
Today Tim gives the introduction for the series and covers the basic categories of dumb choices.
Here is a list of some our sources for this series:
We don’t necessarily recommend any of these sources, but we are drawing some information and illustrations from each of these. Scripture remains as our primary source.
Here is the video clip from class today. It is from CloudTownsend.com and encourages us to not treat people like they are projects.
We only used one clip this week, which was a short bit from the Newhart Show via www.Hulu.com.
But the media clip we really wanted to share was the recording of the sound of our class during the clip. You’ll enjoy this.
We used three clips for our talk on “Six types of conflict, part 1.” The first was an introductory clip, that shows a couple of types of conflict, from the old Dick Van Dyke Show. While we only watched the first couple of minutes, you can see the whole episode here. (via Hulu.com)
The second clip was shown to support the point about communication…and how men and women react differently. This was from Dr. Henry Cloud and the CloudTownsend.com website.
The final clip was shown at the end of class. This also was from Dr. Cloud.
Here is the setup video we used for class today. This is actually from the Florida Department of Health. I was surprised to see a “local” funny video that I had never seen before.
