BB&JT: Plea and thank you for ratings and review & for spreading the word via social media and word of mouth…

BB –  We are talking today about … “The Hump Of Uncomfortable”…

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind?

4. Bob – POINT: We area all called from time to time to go through periods of discomfort… how we view those times will make a difference in whether those times will make us better people or bitter people.

2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (ESV) — 16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

5. JT ------ OK THEN LET’S TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THAT as we bring up… WHAT’S NEW –  as we open Bob’s recent blog from bobbrubaker.com …

9. JT – This is the PowerBreak Podcast, I’m JT along with Bob Brubaker and this is the  –– time for some questions and answers. Feel free to submit your questions by EMAIL TO JT@bobbrubaker.com and we’ll get to the answer on an upcoming PowerBreak. Podcast…

10. JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

How do we prepare spiritually for uncomfortable times so we can view them as a mere speed hump instead of Mt. Everest?

11. Bob & JT discuss

Romans 8:14–17 (ESV) — 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

1 Peter 2:21 (ESV) — 21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

1 Peter 2:25 (ESV) — 25 For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Romans 8:18 (ESV) — 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

12. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

Same question then from a mental standpoint --- how do we prepare for uncomfortable times?

13. Bob & JT discuss

John 16:33 (ESV) — 33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (ESV) — 16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

14. (JT) Third Question …. Turning to the physical aspect of life….

How can a person reduce their training and still make gains?

15. Bob and JT discuss…
16. Test
17. Cut back on your frequency
18. TEST
19. Cut back on your volume
20. TEST
21. Cut back on your intensity
22. TEST

Bottom line is that it’s OK to tweek things in frequency, volume, or intensity but if you still want the results then you need to test before and after such reductions.

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline ….

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
