The Necessity of Admitting, Acknowledging, Recognizing Problems — on the Way to Overcoming Them

Well, today I talk about the Necessity of admitting, acknowledging, recognizing problems  on the way to overcoming them. Indeed, the only way to solve problems is to know they exist. One must look squarely at the problem, if only for a short time. We do not idolize our problems. We do not deny our problems. We do not wallow in our problems. But we do acknowledge our problems — on the way to solution.

Unfortunately, rarely done. Societal problems often  exist precisely because this is not done. Many situation exist because someone whats them to exists. Other situations exist because people think nothing can be done.  However, nothing is impossible with God.

Of course, nothing is impossible to God, we know that. God has turned some thing over to us. Problems may be too big for us, so we work with God and God with us.

We acknowledge the problems. Then we ask for God’s help. Then we get it!

Today, let’s just admit we do have some problems.

Then, let’s see if we can hold on to that idea for just a couple of weeks. Then, yes, I will tell you a story of victory.

Overcoming Learning Problems

Here at the Great Shalom Broadcast, we don’t say “learning disabilities”; we say “learning problems” — because problems are to be solved. Disabilities sounds like something that must be resigned to; something that is permanent; something like a death knell.

Here, we like to solve problems. I believe in healing and I will take it any way it comes. Might be miraculous. Might be innovative. We like them all.

Now, I have been mocked — publicly — for saying “overcoming” in relation to learning disabilities. Come and here my heart, my experience, and the great overcoming of some others. I think you will be pleased — and encouraged.

So, yes, we really mean “overcoming” learning — problems. It is good news. And yes, we know the lay of the land. Come and find a way through, rather than be stuck with others in the slough of despond. 

Defining The Great Shalom

Today, let’s go over what our aim is here. What do I mean by “great shalom”? Why is this podcast called “The Great Shalom”?

How does that fit in with salvation and life?

How is it that I have such confidence that we can solve all kinds of learning problems?

Today….. defining.

Please like and share — and tell your friends. The need has grown to all parents and all educators now.

Success Principles for the New Year from Carl Sommer of Advance Publishing

Following up from Carl Sommer, teacher to educational reformer, to machine shop guru, to award winning publisher and Christian broadcaster, Carl Sommer has had a wonderful life. It didn’t start out that way. He had a rough start from his home of origin. Then, he served New York as a teacher, until he took off a year to study what was wrong. His book on the subject made an impact and he moved his family to Texas. There, he decided a teacher’s salary couldn’t support 5 children, so he started a machine shop. In 2017,when I interviewed him, it was the best and biggest in the nation. One son ran that while the other ran the publishing house.  Great books, suitable for public school libraries that snuck in good values. He was also producing children’s programming for TBn at the time.
