What if you decide to live differently? What if you decide to be the master of your life? What if you stop being a doormat?
These are questions Rev. Michael Carson wants people to ask themselves. The pastor of First Friends Church and victim assistance counselor is hoping to find people ready to be disruptive in their own lives as they join him in a summer book study and guided meditation, beginning Mon., July 10.
The first class will run from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Kokomo Family YMCA, 114 N. Union St., and it will meet each Monday through Aug. 21 at that time.
The book study is focused upon “Disruptive Thinking,” by Bishop T.D. Jakes, which offers “a daring strategy to change how we live, lead, and love.” Carson explained that the study will be spiritual, but not religious, and that everyone is welcome to participate, no matter where they are in life.
“It's about helping persons to be disruptive, but being disruptive is not a bad thing,” said Carson, “It’s about helping people do better in life, to be disruptive and not just accept the norm, to embrace a more healthy lifestyle and a more positive outlook on who they are. Don’t be a victim anymore. You don’t have to believe the label people put on you.
“For most of our lives, we are encouraged to trudge along the well-worn paths of those who have come before us. We learn the rules – in our families, in our schools, in our workplaces, in our churches – and most of the messages we receive tell us that following the rules will allow us to arrive at the lives we desire.”
Carson said that changing the way a person thinks and acts – breaking the rules – is how a person moves forward. It is that challenge of disrupting the norm in one’s life that the summer book study hopes to address.
In his book, Jakes “illuminates the pathway to encouraging and unleashing disruptive thinking and provides the wisdom and practical skills we need to evolve our most original and potentially transformational ideas from vision to reality.”
Carson explained that participants will need to obtain a copy of “Disruptive Thinking” and have the first two chapters read before the start of the first class. There is no other cost to attend. For additional information, call Carson at 765-434-1701.
The book study and meditation takes place with the support Howard County Community Supervision, First Friends Church, and the Kokomo Family YMCA.
Project Access recognizes Herbst as Provider of the Month
