Now available on #OCFCrosspoint: S4E3, “Rebuild Now available on #OCFCrosspoint: S4E3, “Rebuilding your beliefs on a foundation of truth”: Understanding betrayal trauma with CAPT Brent & Nicole Breining, USN (Ret.), Local Leaders for Jacksonville OCF and staffers with @puredesirepdmi

In part 3 of this series with Brent and Nicole, we discuss how the symptoms and effects of betrayal trauma present uniquely in different individuals, then Brent and Nicole share their personal experiences with betrayal trauma. Above all, the Breinings remind us that this betrayal trauma falls under the category of inevitable struggles Jesus promised we’d face in this life, but they remind us of our hope we have in Him.

How do we forgive in the workplace? Is forgiveness How do we forgive in the workplace? Is forgiveness measured out by good or bad performance? Too many headlines read like this: Commander Jones was relieved of his duties because leaders lost confidence in his ability to effectively lead and perform assigned duties.

There is no question leaders have a responsibility to uphold workplace performance standards and maintain good order and discipline. Consequences properly follow violations, but Jesus’ admonition to forgive also pertains to workplace justice. Marginalizing or devaluing one who has erred or denying such a one a path to restoration of workplace fellowship is not Christ’s brand of forgiveness. Leadership fosters growth out of genuine value placed on each person.

It is best to let the mind of Christ guide workplace forgiveness and restoration acts. Whether in a personal relationship or in the workplace, Jesus’ admonition to forgive remains. As servant leaders, how we forgive and restore is a mark of obedience to Christ’s commands.

From today's #OCFPowerinPrayer reminder: D-Day | T From today's #OCFPowerinPrayer reminder: D-Day | Today we pause to remember the service and sacrifices of all American military and Allied forces, especially those who gave their lives, on the beaches of Normandy in France. The Nazi stronghold on Europe was broken and helped bring an end to World War II.

“Phones in the OCF office ring throughout the da “Phones in the OCF office ring throughout the day as people call from all parts of the U.S.: prayer, information, publications, change addresses, make link-ups… Our concept of ownership is that God is the owner. We are His stewards. Pray that all the activities here will bring honor to Him. The building is a tool for His service, a place of worship, and a support base for OCF members everywhere.” 

With this excerpt from a 1984 OCF Newsletter in mind, our home office team in Colorado gathered to decommission the 3784 S Inca St building, which served as a small nerve center for OCF operations for nearly 40 years. We’re grateful for all the Lord has done in and through this building since 1984, and we look forward to how He’ll continue ministry efforts from our new office in Colorado Springs.

Why would the Lord not allow something that seems Why would the Lord not allow something that seems a good thing for His people? We most often only perceive what is in front of us, and our tendency is to make decisions based on what we see—the facts. God, on the other hand, has all wisdom, knowledge and understanding and acts according to our best interests, based on more than is apparent to mortal man.

Little by little, in God’s time He performs His purposes. Some leaders, thrust into positions of greater responsibility as a reward for a job well done, fizzle in their performance because they lack the wisdom that seasoning and time bring.

The route to success is through recognition of the One who is really creating the headway: “The LORD your God will.” God does the heavy lifting. Joshua could not take credit for his victorious army; God fought for Israel. Our best plan should be to cooperate with God in recognition of our mortal limitations: “You will not be able to put an end to them quickly.” Is not our challenge to recognize there is more to matters than what is in front of us? God acts on behalf of those He loves, and He has a wonderful plan for us despite present circumstances.

Each chapter of the #OCFHandbook casts vision for Each chapter of the #OCFHandbook casts vision for military ministry, explains OCF, discusses the military Christian life, encourages personal spiritual growth, and gives ideas for executing member-led ministry. 

Chapters are organized into sections, ranging from the big OCF picture to equipping and engaging one another in Biblical fellowship at the local level to the ministry’s organization. After these 37 chapters of material on military ministry, the Handbook concludes with bonus content that includes governing documents and, for those who love a checklist, a few single-source references and checklists.
