Spiritual Foundations
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, or hopeless… help is on the way.
Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you.
I’ve called your name. You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you’re between a rock and a hard place,
it won’t be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That’s how much you mean to me!
That’s how much I love you!
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back,
trade the creation just for you.
So don’t be afraid: I’m with you.
Isaiah 43:1-5

Hey thanks for the great post and the shout out about my Mastermind eBook. I’m sitting in Michael Hyatt’s Launch event in Vail, CO. Great event. I told everyone here they need to be in a Mastermind group.
Well, Dan, your eBook really is excellent. I appreciate you, my friend!
You my friend are a great mentor and I cannot begin to even explain the value of being in a Mastermind group. My heart, mind, and soul have been elevated to new heights. Gratitude beyond belief.
Thanks Jason!
Absolutely Phil!
@Ray_Edwards:disqus, Great podcast. I’ve been seeking out a mastermind group ever since launching my personal platform several months ago. I’ve already found accountability with several podcasters / marketers / bloggers I’ve connected with and I know that a mastermind will take me to even new heights.
Planning on purchasing @disqus_jUfj1DHMwB:disqus’s ebook tonight and diving right in.
Keep up the great work Ray. You’ve helped me with the launch of my personal platform more than you know. I’d love to connect soon! Be blessed.
@Ray_Edwards:disqus…thanks for this podcast. I’ve read Think And Grow Rich and I know about Mastermind Groups…but I never entertained the thought of actually forming my own. But because you and this podcast, I am seriously thinking about it. Thank you.
Great lesson. I bought @disqus_jUfj1DHMwB:disqus book yesterday. I will be using it (with permission) to help outline the steps of a Master Mind Group that I will facilitate. Between this podcast, Dan’s work, and the work of Michael Hyatt and Platform University I feel like I’m ready to increase my impact in 2014!
There’s some buzz up here in NJ about an up and coming dude contemplating starting his own MM group……… Thank you for your inspiration!
