"What you do is ultimately out of your control, but how you do it is entirely in your control"...very profound.

[@newt1872]

So glad I came across this teaching(originally heard on naked bible podcast). What a powerful word and needed in this time.

[@marcusdumitru]

Dr. Carmen, you are so witty!
I enjoy very much the clarity and fluency of your eloquent discourse.
To me it proves your point: doing your job with excellency matters much more than what the job is.

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

Carmen
Thank you so much for this message. I have found this after listening to your recent interview with Tim & John. What a great way to model discussion with others on understanding scripture. This message has come just at the right time for me, a time of work transition and I have found it to be very helpful and a real encouragement. Thanks so much. Steve from the UK

Wonderful Reminder of the Power in knowing WHO we are WITH! Your name was brought up and a paper from you quoted at a women's conference this week by Dr. Maggie? (she said she knew you from Wheaton College) I had to look you up & came across this RICH video. Would love to read that paper you wrote in regards to our gifts being wrapped in suffering… You listed multiple examples.

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

Hello, Heather! So glad you enjoyed the video! The article she shared is from my blog. Here's a link: carmenjoyimes.blogspot.com/2013/12/naming-gifts.html

[@adnan2072]

Encouraging, thanks for sharing.

[@gdavispsi]

This was great. I"s this from one of your books?

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

Yes! I was speaking on my latest book, 'Bearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still Matters' published by IVP. Here's a link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/0830852697?pf_rd_r=5A67RW38YYNS29SPTD8X&pf_rd_p=edaba0ee-c2fe-4124-9f5d-b31d6b1bfbee

[@gdavispsi]

Ordered your book. Looking forward to reading it. I think the OT is much neglected in the church today.

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

@@gdavispsi agreed! I hope you enjoy the book! Maybe you could gather a group of friends (virtually, if needed) and read it together! The book has discussion questions, links to Bible Project videos, and suggested Scripture readings for each chapter.

[@gdavispsi]

@@CarmenJoyImesPhD Cool. I have an Adult Bible Study Group that I am always looking for fresh material. I use a lot of the Bible Project videos. Did I hear you on another video that you have a companion guide?

[@CarmenJoyImesPhD]

@Gary Davis, yes! You can find companion videos here (by subscription): seminarynow.com/programs/bearing-gods-name?rfsn=4460421.0a21f3
