Sermon Podcast: Peace To Your World

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 00:31:25 +0000

Please partner with us for the Kingdom of Jesus, here in Orange County California by helping us Fund Forward Church. Please go to www.fundforward.church and hear our story about what God is doing in Irvine, California. You can invest in the move of God and because of your generosity, lives will be changed for eternity and the work of the gospel of Jesus would continue in more strength than ever before. We live in an area that is starved for community, and at the same time numbed by the sheer density of the population around us. There are few things more intriguing and refreshing than witnessing the love and authenticity of a community marked by the Gospel. We want to be a community of faith where the Orange County myth of building an image for yourself is debunked and real, raw and authentic community is cultivated among people. We want to be a community of different looking sinners, in need of the same looking cross. We want to be a church where indifferent Christians begin to move forward with their faith and those that don’t know Jesus, would get to know him on a personal level as their Savior And Friend.

FFL 087: A Tribute To Billy Graham

Bogdan Kipko — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 05:24:32 +0000

In this episode, I discuss the passing of the greatest evangelist that America and most likely the world has ever known. Billy Graham preached to more than 250 million people in his life time and he influenced everything we know today which is under the umbrella of “evangelicalism.” One of Billy Graham’s most encouraging quotes that I heard is when he said: “The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me, or help me.”

Let me know how Billy Graham impacted you by connecting with me on Instagram, here.

FFL 085: My Interview With PCSBA About Trip To Moscow

Bogdan Kipko — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 05:15:38 +0000

I had an incredibly blessed time traveling to and speaking at the largest Baptist Youth Conference that happens in all of Russia, this past February 1-4, 2018. The conference is called “Generation For Christ,” and happens in the center of Moscow, every year, led by Vitaliy Zanin (President of Youth Department). Thank you to Vitaliy and to the Russian Baptist Union for their gracious invitation. This event drew 1500 young people into the city of Moscow, to listen to ten sermons, thirty seminars and four non-stop days of worshipping Jesus, together. For more information about this event, go to: www.imolod.ru.

One of the most memorable moments during this conference was during the last evening, when I got done preaching the final message and right after we all prayed together for God to send a fresh new revival to all of Russia, we sang “How Great Thou Art,” with all 1500 conference participants in the middle of a city that is the capital of a country that was under a communistic/atheistic regime for nearly seventy years. The significance of that, cannot be overstated. The following is audio about my trip to Moscow, Russian. I hope you enjoy it and are blessed by it.

FFL 080: Matt Krachunis On Church Planting In The Least Churched Area In America

Bogdan Kipko — Wed, 07 Feb 2018 10:05:11 +0000

On this episode, I interview my friend, mentor and all around incredible human being, Pastor Matt Krachunis. Matt and his wife Crystal planted Faith And Victory Church in Auburn, Washington almost 15 years ago and today, it has grown to 500 people in attendance on Sundays.

Matt is incredibly unbridled in his passionate desire to let everyone know that Jesus is Lord and is worthy of giving Him your entire life.

Matt says about himself: “Typically, in a Pastor bio you would find out about schools of thought and theological positions and such, but that’s not really me. I just love Jesus and the Bible. I’m still trying to figure it all out and try my best to love everyone I meet. Its not easy, but I try. I probably do things that aren’t very pastor like all the time, but I try to follow Jesus and not some other guy who happened to write a book that made a best seller list. It seems to be working so far, and I look forward to seeing what I’ll be able to accomplish before Jesus comes back.”

This is going to be well worth your time investment to listen to this interview. A lot of gold in here, including a ton of leadership nuggets that you won’t find anywhere else. And the best part is that Matt is exactly who he is. He doesn’t not hold anything back and this is probably one of the most honest, transparent interviews I’ve ever done with a public figure.

On this episode, I interview my friend Yuri Doroshuk about how he views his vocation as a mission field. Yuri shares his testimony about what led him to Jesus and his formative years growing up in Sacramento.

Yuri currently lives in Dallas, Texas, is happily married to Anna, has three kids, holds a Th.M. from Dallas Theological Seminary and has an extensive background in ministry, preaching and teaching. He was the founder of Preach Truth Better, a website dedicated to pastors and speakers to develop their craft to deliver a better message about Jesus to their listeners.

This was truly an insightful interview as Yuri shared his heart behind how he views the marketplace through the gospel lens. We also discuss what he thinks leaders of Slavic churches should do to lead their people through the transition into the English language to be better equipped to serve their communities.

FFL 077: Michael Ivanov On Living An Extraordinary Life By Sharing Your Story

On this episode, I interview my friend Michael Ivanov. Michael was born in Soviet Russia and came to the United States at two years old with his parents and siblings as a political refugee. He grew up in the small town of Washougal, near Portland Oregon, and still calls the area his home. He continues to pursue his dream of writing and speaking in hopes of helping people discover a better way to live.

In this interview, we discuss Michael’s new book “The Mount of Olives: 11 declarations to an extraordinary life.” Combining courage, faith, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The Mount of Olives takes readers for an emotional ride through the life of a boy who’s search for better becomes a discovery of something extraordinary.

FFL 068: Six Ways To Stay Focused During A Busy Season

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 09:05:10 +0000

I just came out of a super busy season in my life where there was significantly more on my plate than usual. I found that when you encounter a busy season in your life, your main priorities or things that actually get you the most important results in life, they go by the wayside and you begin to neglect them because other “more important,” matters take precedence – or you are too busy focused on “putting out fires,” and usually the first things to go are the most important things to go.

Maybe right now, you are in that season and you feel like you have no breathing room and you are being crushed by the weight of responsibility on your shoulders. I hope to provide you with encouragement and inspiration as I share with you these six ways to stay focused, in this podcast episode.

FFL 067: Seven Seemingly Small Shifts That Will Produce Major Results

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 09:05:04 +0000

Life is not made up of one gigantic decision but rather thousands of seemingly insignificant decisions that you make every single day.

Most people fail not at making the big decisions correctly but rather at not making enough small decisions, consistently.

It is these seemingly small, discreet and often unnoticeable decisions that we make very day – that ultimately make up the entirety of what our life looks like and what results we are producing.

In this episode, I am going to talk about seven small shifts you can make today that will produce major results.

Bogdan Kipko — Wed, 04 Oct 2017 17:58:48 +0000

Pursuing or seeking to be successful is not bad, so long as you don’t make a good thing into a god thing. Success and healthy habits in your life are a by product of your desire to glorify God with your life, not the foundation upon which God’s love for you is built.

In this podcast, I talk about seven deadly sins that I noticed in people who are highly successful.

FFL 064: How To Hack Your Energy Levels To Crush It All Day

Bogdan Kipko — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 15:59:00 +0000

In this podcast, I discuss six things you must do to hack your energy levels so that you can crush it all day. Recently, I had two very intensive weekends in which I was doing over three talks a day and I was with people the entire time. Although I love what I do, it does take a lot of energy out of you. Speaking or listening sometimes feels like you are dispensing a ton of energy since both times you are either absorbing information or dispersing information. Each day was at least a 16 hr day. But each day, I did not crash nor did I experience any fatigue or weariness or sluggishness. Listen to this episode to find out exactly what I do to achieve this.

FFL 063: Twenty Five Years In America And Lessons Learned With Mariya Gusenkov

Bogdan Kipko — Thu, 23 Feb 2017 22:33:06 +0000

February 18, 1992 will go down in history as the day when my family immigrated to the United States. This past Saturday, we celebrated twenty five years since we moved to the best country in the world.

To commemorate this occasion, I invited my sister Mariya Gusenkov to join me on the 63d episode of the Fuel For Life Podcast to talk about the faith of our parents as they made the decision to move to the US. I also ask Mariya what it was like to leave the former Soviet Union, right after she graduated high school.

FFL 062: Ten Ways To Embrace Minimalism In Your Life

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 13 Feb 2017 19:50:45 +0000

I’ve recently embraced minimalism and I couldn’t be happier. What is it? It is the subtle art of minimizing the things you need to have and the choices you need to make in pursuit of focusing on the things that matter and the things that are eternal in nature.

Minimalism in a way can return you to a state where you can perceive purely. So minimalism is essentially having as little as you require. It is basically saying that everything I own, serves a purpose or brings me joy.

In this podcast episode, I discuss ten things that I did in my life that radically simplified my daily options, uncluttered my mind and allowed me to focus more on the things that matter in life, namely my relationship with God, my relationship with my wife, my church and my online community.

FFL060: A Conversation About The Millennial Mentality And Work Ethic

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 30 Jan 2017 23:27:25 +0000

On this episode, I am joined in the studio by two great friends of mine. Mark Rybikov (media director at Forward Church) and Bogdan Shova (student at Biola University). We discuss the reasons behind the existence and often lack of commitment and work ethic, specifically with the millennial generation. We also discuss the challenges and successes of growing up in the United States as a child of immigrant parents.

FFL059: Six Avoidable Mistakes All Public Speakers Make

Bogdan Kipko — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 07:17:57 +0000

Everyone listening will inevitably have to speak publicly in front of an audience. The size of the audience or the setting doesn’t really matter because all of the same principles apply. You still have to prepare for your talk and you still have to deliver it in a way which will capture the attention of the audience and more importantly, convey the information or content that you are speaking about and also it needs to be communicated in a way in which it will be memorable and sticky. I read a quote recently that goes something like this: “The incredible illusion we have about communication is that it actually took place.” This can be very frustrating, especially for someone who speaks publicly for a living. These six mistakes to avoid that I will be sharing with you in this podcast will hopefully make your talk stickier and more memorable. If you have made any of these mistakes, then you are in good company because I have certainly been guilty of this entire list. The greatest compliment and encouragement I could receive from you is if you would share this podcast with your friends and family and on social media.

FFT055: What Makes People Leave The Faith And Become Atheists?

Bogdan Kipko — Fri, 19 Aug 2016 05:36:10 +0000

Former atheist turned follower of Jesus Tyler Vela joins me on the Fuel For Life Podcast for a five part discussion where we talk about the most common questions that people want to ask someone who used to be a former atheist. During our five part talk, we discuss the following items:

What made Tyler become a theist in general and a Christian theist in particular?
What were some of the most convincing arguments?
Why Christianity when there is a lot of other religions?
Why does God exist?
What were Tyler’s strongest arguments in defense of atheism when he did not believe in God?
How would he answer those arguments now?
Why would a gracious, loving God ever send people to hell?
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Is it worth arguing with atheists since they already believe what they believe and we can’t change their mind?
What makes people leave the faith and become an atheist?
What does Tyler think about the viral video that supposedly undermines all atheist arguments with a simple circular diagram?

Get ready to be inspired like you’ve never been before Fuel For Life Nation because on this podcast, we have with us Nikita Skorykh who is doing incredible things for God at a very early age of being just twenty years old.

In our interview, I ask Nikita the following questions:

How he met Jesus and where does his passion for following Jesus come from.

How his background and parents helped shape who he is today.

How and why he got involved with Nick Hall and the Pulse Organization.

What happened at the Together 2016 event which gathered almost one million people in Washington DC on July 16, 2016.

Why the event was ultimately shut down on that day and what was the response of the organizers.

What is the best piece of advice that Nikita has ever received.

What are Nikita’s big dreams and goals for 2017.

What Nikita would like to say for every millennial and every other generation that is listening that might think that God is not mightily using them yet.

What would you say to the girls or women listening who are on Instagram or Pinterest and they are falling short of reaching that particular perfection standard that’s often displayed in social media?

What characteristics do you think are important for a wife to have in order for her to be supportive of her husband?

What would you recommend to someone who’s listening whose husband doesn’t really want to go to church, doesn’t want to read Scripture, doesn’t want to lead his wife as he should – what do you recommend they do?

What do you think the biggest issue is or the biggest problems that are facing women today?

What do you think is the most common myth that people have about wives that are married to a pastor?

How do you personally stay grounded and keep your relationship with Jesus alive when a lot of your time is spent being poured out for the benefit of other people in church, ministry and mentoring others?

Did you always want to get married to a pastor?

How Churches Can Use Snapchat To Reach More Millennials

Bogdan Kipko — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 04:11:28 +0000

If you think Snapchat is only for teens or millennials, then you are completely wrong. It might have more millennials on it, but that doesn’t mean that it’s the only group of people who are using it. I believe that churches can use this medium to reach more millennials for Jesus. Here is why and how

The audience on Snapchat is completely different from Facebook and Instagram. If you haven’t added me on Snapchat yet, click here and I will add you back.

Snapchat is primarily a much younger millennial user base.

Here is how I diagnose it:

Facebook is sort of the party where all the parents finally got around to coming to. Once the parents came to that party, they quickly realized that all the kids have already left that party.

Instagram is the party where parents are slowing making their way to, but the kids caught on to that and so they bailed from there as well. The kids know that the parents won’t ever figure out what in the world Snapchat is (or at least will be super slow to adopt it and use it), so that is why they are all there.

In case you haven’t yet figured out where I am going with this, Snapchat is where the real party is at.

And at real parties, the gospel of Jesus must absolutely be present.

A few weeks ago, I decided to conduct an experiment. I had one of my deacons Snapchat my entire sermon.

If you are on Snapchat, you know how crazy that is.

Each of my snaps was 10 seconds.

My sermon was thirty minutes in length.

That’s 180 snaps.

Towards the end of that Sunday, I decided to check how many people actually watched every one of my snaps from the people that follow me.

To my great surprise, over seventy percent of the people who follow me on Snapchat watched 100% of my snaps from my sermon.

Can you imagine how the gospel can penetrate the heart of the young person when in that ten second snap that they watch, they hear a gospel-drenched truth that will change the entire trajectory of their life?

If you are a pastor or a church leader and you are not on Snapchat, what are you waiting for?

FFL 049: Alexey Dolotov On Creating Openly Transparent Music

Bogdan Kipko — Thu, 24 Mar 2016 02:39:48 +0000

I am super pumped to publish this podcast interview I did with Alexey Dolotov, aka “Doloto,” on the Fuel For Life Podcast. For more information about Alexey, click here to visit his website and go buy his new album which came out on March 22.

In our interview, I spoke with Alexey about his immigrant roots, his love for music and what his creative process looks like when he was launching this album. In his words, here is what Alexey says his new album “Positive Convictions,” is all about:

Never in my life would I imagine to invest so much time, resources, relationships, personal vulnerable testimonies in making an album such as this. In the journey there were things lost and gained, relationships weakened, chances with potentials ended, friendships made and strengthened, faith tested and matured, new lessons learned, and false identity sacrificed with the true identity developed and enriched. This is a slight description of what the album Positive Convictions is all about. It is the results that follow spiritual discipline of being broken and restored. Positive Convictions is aide to the believer’s walk of faith.

Alexey’s inspirations for the album include Joe Thorn, Nickels, Braille, Propaganda and Social Club. Alexey and I had a ton of fun doing this interview. In it, you will also hear snippets of his tracks plus he performs live, right on the podcast – which I believe is a first for the podcast.

FFL Nation, get ready to be inspired and encouraged by this interview and by Doloto himself.

Share this post with your social network and let’s get Doloto to open for Propaganda and Lecrae in the near future.

Five Ways Churches Can Use Social Media To Reach More People

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 20:42:33 +0000

The way people consume content and the amount of times people actually come to church has changed dramatically in the last few years. It is now considered normal for even the most committed church attenders to attend church a maximum of two times a month. And attending church twice a month is considered by those attendees as being super committed to the local church. This is happening because the way in which people do “church,” is taking on new forms.

The bottom line is this: The methods have changed but the message has always stayed the same. If you are a pastor or a church leader or care about your pastor or church leader, you need to pay attention to the seismic shift in human behavior. In this post, I want to help church leaders and those that care about the message of Jesus to be heard by as many people as possible, five ways to reach more people using social media.

So here is my philosophy. And I will use a story to illustrate my point. I’ve cleared this illustration with my wife and she totally loved it and approved of it:

Suppose she is making a meal at our home for a group of friends that are coming over. Let’s say there are five people coming over. So she creates the meal for five people and I of course help her out. Suppose that we have twenty people coming over. We then create a meal for twenty people. Suppose we have fifty people coming over. You get the idea. Now, let’s say that we invited fifty people to our home for dinner. The night when we created the meal to feed fifty people, only about ten showed up. What do we do with all the amazing and delicious food that was not served to the forty people who did not show up? Simple. We go out and we find people that day who are hungry or who have not eaten in a while or those who want a hot meal or those who simply don’t have the funds or the resources to have dinner at that time. And we feed them.

This is exactly the way in which I look at sermon delivery and sermon preparation. The sermon that I prepare can feed ten people, one hundred people, one thousand people or even ten thousand people. Why would I ever let that amazing spiritual appetizer, entree and dessert not be “tasted,” and “experienced,” by as many people as possible.

As a pastor in the trenches, I know exactly how long my fellow pastors labor and work on their weekly messages. We prepare for 5-25 hours a week just to prepare one thirty minute message. So I believe that every pastor should do everything they possibly can to get that amazing “meal,” into as many ears as possible, by using social media.

Here is the thing. As a pastor, I spend a ton of time preparing for the sermon. I preach close to 52 messages a year. As a communicator of the gospel, my desire is for the message to reach as many people as possible for the fame of Jesus’ name. And here is the reality. The amount of time it takes to prepare a message that you are preaching to thirty people is the same amount of time it will take you to prepare a message to preach to three hundred people, the same for three thousand people or even thirty thousand people. You get the picture. Why not then get the message that took you over twenty four hours to prepare to as many people as possible, using social media.

Here are five ways churches can use social media to reach more people for Jesus. At Forward Church, we are doing all of these and seeing great results.

1. Facebook Live Stream. Just this last month, we started live streaming the Sunday sermon that I am preaching on Facebook. This live streaming feature has only recently become available to the general public. This is actually super simple to do. All you have to do is log on to your Facebook app from your phone and choose the live stream feature. What I also do is ask my people in church to “share,” the live stream from their Facebook app once the sermon goes live. This increases the amount of people who watch and also creates a diverse group who watches the sermon. Just recently when our people shared the latest live sermon stream, I’ve received messages from people who were far away from God decide to renew their relationship, simply because their friend “shared,” the live stream and they tuned in and watched the message. Praise God for that. When the sermon was streamed this last Sunday, we had 134 people log in to watch the live stream. That was almost three times the amount of people that were in the room at our location. But the thing is that the impact is just as much if not more. The people who are physically present and those who are watching online are still getting the same content, the same message and the same application. This gets even better.

Facebook archives the video message and people can watch it, even after you are done live streaming. So for example, the message from this past Sunday now has over three hundred views on Facebook. If you add the amount of people that listened to the audio message that we post of the sermon onto the Fuel For Life podcast, this brings the total amount of people that listened to the sermon to well over 500 people. Basically this means that every week, over 500 people attend Forward Church, either in person or via our online sermon content that we distribute. This is super encouraging and a bit overwhelming at the same time, considering the amount of responsibility this is. If you want a step by step guide on how to do this, click here to read a more detailed post. And by the way, if this post is your first interaction with me, click here and check out the “about me,” page so we can get to know each other better.

2. Podcast Sermons. All of the sermons that I preach on Sunday are then uploaded to the Fuel For Life Podcast. This allows people who could not make it to the church physically to catch up on the messages during the week. This also allows our church people to share the podcasts with their friends who are considering coming to our church. I’ve literally had people show up to our church who I’ve never met before face to face who say that the only reason they came to our church is because they checked out my Youtube channel, listened to the Fuel For Life podcast, watched the live stream and finally decided to come in person. Whether you want to admit it or not, people are shopping your church while they are hanging out at a coffee shop or laying in bed while on their smart phone. If you aren’t podcasting your sermons, you totally should start as soon as possible.

3. Snapchat. The audience on Snapchat is completely different from Facebook and Instagram. If you haven’t added me on Snapchat yet, click here and I will add you back. Snapchat is primarily a much younger millennial user base. Here is how I diagnose it. Facebook is sort of the party where all the parents finally got around to coming to. Once the parents came to that party, they quickly realized that all the kids have already left that party. Instagram is the party where parents are slowing making their way to, but the kids caught on to that and so they bailed from there as well. The kids know that the parents won’t ever figure out what in the world Snapchat is (or at least will be super slow to adopt it and use it), so that is why they are all there. In case you haven’t yet figured out where I am going with this, Snapchat is where the real party is at. And at real parties, the gospel of Jesus must absolutely be present.

Three weeks ago, I decided to conduct an experiment. I had one of my deacons Snapchat my entire sermon. If you are on Snapchat, you know how crazy that is. Each of my snaps was 10 seconds. My sermon was thirty minutes in length. That’s 180 snaps. Towards the end of that Sunday, I decided to check how many people actually watched every one of my snaps from the people that follow me. To my great surprise, over seventy percent of the people who follow me on Snapchat watched 100% of my snaps from my sermon. Can you imagine how the gospel can penetrate the heart of the young person when in that ten second snap that they watch, they hear a gospel-drenched truth that will change the entire trajectory of their life? If you are a pastor or a church leader and you are not on Snapchat, what are you waiting for?

4. Video In Bite Size Format. The average attention span of a person using Social Media is shorter than the attention span of a gold fish. If you have read this post up until this point, you are in the 1% of people who still have a normal attention span. Almost no one I know will watch a 40 minute sermon that is posted online. What we have done at Forward Church is nothing new but it amazes me how many churches still don’t do this. We chop up our video sermons into three to four minute time segments and then upload them to Facebook. People consume this content and are blessed and encouraged by it during the week.

The reason that I don’t link my sermons to Youtube from Facebook is because engagement for outside links is very low. The best thing for you to do is to upload your sermon video content “natively,” into Facebook. This guarantees that the maximum amount of people will watch it. For research purposes, I watched about five different live streams of churches on Sunday that were being streamed on Youtube. The majority of them had less than ten viewers. If that church simply had someone with their iPhone use the live stream feature as described above, hundreds more would have been exposed to the gospel gold that was being preached from the pulpit.

5. Create An App. I was fortunate enough to befriend the incredibly talented Eddie Kaiger who built the Fuel For Life App which is now available in the Apple App Store. Huge thanks to him – thank you brother! You can actually download it by clicking here. So far we are getting close to the one hundred download mark. This means that close to one hundred people have downloaded the app and are now experiencing centered content, right at their finger tips. I don’t need to convince you of how addicted we are to our apps on our phone. I believe consuming content, especially content that helps me follow Jesus more faithfully is most conveniently done via an app. If your church or ministry does not yet have an app, you need to ask yourself the question, why not? Because if your people people are not being discipled by you, they will be discipled by someone else.

If you have questions about any of the above ways that you, your church or your leaders can leverage social media to reach more people for Jesus, feel free to reach out to me. Just hit me up on any social media channel and I would love to connect with you and help you in any way that I can. Seeing as how the biggest Sunday of the entire church year, Easter Sunday is barely a week away – this would be the best time to use these methods to reach as many people as possible with the greatest message that could ever exist – namely that Jesus Christ is alive and that He alone is enough to satisfy our deepest desires and He alone is worthy of our utmost devotion and worship.

It is with a heavy and broken heart that I deliver this news that my beloved brother in Christ, friend, nephew, worship leader, young adult leader and the absolute best angelic human being that has ever lived on this earth, has been taken by the Lord last night. My heart is broken, our families hearts are shattered and so is the @forwardirvine church. We are devastated we know that God’s timing and God’s wisdom is infinitely better than ours and because of that, we can find peace during this gut-wrenching, unconscionable time.

My Top Ten Tips For Traveling Smart In Europe

Michelangelo’s Dome At St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City

I wrote this post while at an airport in Rome en route to Paris. My goal was to provide value to people who would be planning a Europe trip. We had no idea what we would experience next.

Our flight from Rome arrived in Paris at approximately 9:20pm. At that exact time, the first terrorist attacks were launched virtually simultaneously, with two explosions close to the Stade de France.

I will be working on a full post and podcast recap of our time here in Paris and what we through while Paris, France experienced the worst tragedy since World War II and the deadliest in Europe since the 2004 Madrid bombings.

This year my wife and I are traveling through Europe. If you want to listen to a podcast I recorded along with my wife about our Europe trip last year, click here and take a listen. In this blog post, I want to share our top ten tips for traveling smart when in Europe.

If you are planning a trip to Europe, I believe this post will help you. If you found it helpful, please share it with your social network.

When taken out of your every day element and your everyday routine, you begin to see things clearer and your perspective becomes sharper. This is the moment that I’m currently in.

For the past few days, I’ve created countless new projects and thought of at least a hundred different things I want to do differently in 2016. But one concept remains sure. That without hard work, without diligence, without perseverance, without consistency – all of that will remain bits and pieces within my mentality, words for the wind, bullet points in my Evernote journal, scribbles in my Moleskine, ink on paper, effortlessly proclaimed cliche phrases which garner occasional eye rolls, and nothing more than that.

So that’s why when immersed into unfamiliar territory, you begin to gain fresh revelations, experience a second wind and develop a tenacity you thought wasn’t there. All the while being wrecked by realizing that God isn’t done working with you, He has just begun working on you.

So taking a trip and exiting your familiar surroundings is actually therapeutic and highly effective at pressing the proverbial reset button on your mentality.

Now, onward to the practical side of things.

Here Are My Top Ten Tips for Traveling Smart in Europe:

1. Go To Europe In The Fall. The fact that we went to Europe in November was not coincidental but rather intentional. We purposefully wanted to avoid the crowds, the tourists, the delays, the long queues, the hot weather and the general misery of having to travel during hot weather. Since we live in Southern California, we already have the great weather year around, the beaches and anything else that has to do with the sun. Going to Europe in the fall or towards the end of the year is awesome for multiple reasons. The weather is mild and perfect and very pleasant. Europe is beautiful this time of year. There are fewer people traveling because it is the off-season. There are less tourists everywhere. There are less crowds everywhere. It’s almost like Europe is all yours personally for exploring and enjoying.

It took us less than ten minutes to enter the Colosseum in Rome. It took us less than thirty minutes to enter into and also ascend to the top of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City (551 steps in total).Were we to go in the summer, both of the aforementioned places would most likely have taken us three or more hours, depending on the queues. The streets are not overcrowded and you can walk around at your own pace, not having to worry about lines, queues or swarms of people everywhere.

2. The Euro Has Fallen. This is caused by a number of factors not least of which the recent terrorist attacks in Paris. When we were in the airport in Rome this year, I bought an Acqua Panna (bottled water), a Pellegrino and a cappuccino and my total was 5.70 euros. That is $7.53. If you go to any airport Starbucks in the United States, you will pay at least $13+ for a bottle of water plus a latte. So if you are planning a trip to Europe, monitor the Euro, the Franc or whatever other currency of the country you will be visiting so that your dollar can actually go a long way.

3. Advance Purchase Of Tickets Is The Best. Like I mentioned before, we wanted to go see the Colosseum. So I purchased two tickets in advance, the night before. The queue for advanced purchased tickets literally had no one in it. It was really cool to walk past about two hundred people who were waiting in line for their tickets. If you simply go online and buy the tickets for whatever sight-seeing destination you want to visit, you are fall less likely to stand in a long queue.

4. Invest In A Comfortable Pair Of Shoes. This might sound obvious but I’ve heard so many horror stories from friends who were miserable because they did not have comfortable shoes. Honestly, the best way to see Europe is by walking. My wife and I literally walk close to six miles per day and it’s great to see everything up close and personal. My comfortable shoes of choice were the Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max. I ordered them right from the Nike website. The color that I got was white and I just checked and they don’t have the white anymore. However, all the other colors look super good too. These shoes are also unisex. I wore these shoes the entire day, walking over six miles and my feet felt like they were on pillows the entire day. Now, I did have loafers with me but I wore those out to dinner in the evening and not during the day.

5. Portable Phone Chargers Will Save You. The worst thing that can happen is for your iPhone battery to die in the middle of you taking that epic selfie with your spouse at the Eiffel Tower. I know, #firstworldproblems. I personally have an iPhone 6 and the battery still drains pretty quickly. Two things I do to help prolong the battery life is to turn on the setting on the phone that puts it on Low Power Mode and I turn down the screen brightness to about thirty percent. In addition, I have three fully charged block chargers along with my usb cord. So if my iPhone or my wife’s iPhone battery dies during our outing, no need to panic. In Europe, charging stations are not as prevalent as they are in the United States. So having these charging packs is super helpful.

6. Book Everything Early. This includes hotels, airline tickets, train tickets, whatever you can book early, do it. I love to plan ahead so that is the way that works for me. Generally speaking, booking early and ahead will be more economical.

7. Ignore The Sales People. In most popular tourist destinations, you will always encounter a gang of people that are trying to sell you a selfie stick, an umbrella, a useless trinket or something else that you don’t need. Just say no in whatever language of the country you are in and keep moving along. The slightest bit of interest you show will immediately energize them to keep selling you.

8. Musicians Aren’t Playing For You For Free. When you are sitting down at a cafe or restaurant, there will be occasional musicians that come around on the street and begin to play music for you. This might also happen if you are traveling on a city train or a bus. If you are inexperienced, you will begin to enjoy the music and will make eye contact with the musicians. That is completely fine. Except for the fact that they expect, nay, demand a tip for their performance. If you enjoy the music and want to leave them a tip, that’s awesome. But just know that this is what they expect. If you don’t want to leave a tip, simply keep scrolling through Instagram or Snapchat and they will find another target. Also, keep in mind that when you eat at a restaurant or a cafe, you don’t necessarily need to leave a tip because if you look closely at your receipt, you will see that the gratuity has already been included within the price of whatever you purchased.

9. Learn Basic Phrases In Each Language. Knowing basic phrases in each language actually goes a long way. Just download an app on your phone and practice these phrases while you fly to your destination. The locals really appreciate you knowing even the simplest of phrases in their native language. Plus, you won’t come across as a basic tourist who doesn’t know anything other than your own native culture.

10. Keep A Travel Journal. Whether you like writing on paper or you like typing on a laptop, I highly recommend keeping a travel journal. This is an excellent way to etch your great memories into a device or a journal so that you can revisit them later. Trips and vacations usually pass by super quick and often our greatest moments from the trip are immediately forgotten. Even if you aren’t a writer, simply jot down a few bullet points every day of the places you visited, the foods you have eaten, the moments you enjoyed and the highlights you experienced.

When I look at our 2014 Europe Trip journal, I am reminded once again of the amazing time that my wife and I had. I again begin to re-live the experiences. Plus, when telling your friends or family about your trip, it really helps to have a journal because then you can easily reference the places you went and the favorite things that you have experienced. Imagine twenty or more years from now, your family can read your travel journal. I personally would have loved to read the travel journal from my parents when they were my age. Now you can create the same experience for generations.

Bonus Tip. Invest In Noise Canceling Headphones. If you’ve ever experienced noise-cancelling headphones, you know exactly the beauty and value of them. If you are going to be traveling to Europe from the United States, at the very least, your first flight will be about nine hours.

I recommend that you invest in noise canceling headphones. The reason being is that they eliminate the majority of airplane noise during your flight and they make the flight significantly more enjoyable. I personally have the following two types of noise canceling headphones and I recommend both of them, depending on what your preference is. I also believe that these headphones are the absolute best of the best in terms of what the current market has to offer. I have tried many different types and these are the clear winners. I have the Bose QC 25 Noise Canceling Headphones and the Bose QuietComfort 20i In-Ear Headphones.

My wife prefers the Bose QC 25 because they are “over the ear,” headphones. They cover your entire ears while you are wearing them and they provide excellent noise canceling, not to mention the amazing sound quality of the music you will listen to or the movie or show you will be watching on your device.

I personally prefer the Bose In-Ear Headphones. These go directly into your ear and they come with a small noise canceling adapter that does need to be charged. I like the In-Ear model because they are so small and compact. But if you don’t like the In-Ear model, the over the ear model is amazing.

Here is the thing though: I know that both of these types of headphones are a bit on the high-end in terms of the price. But I believe that the investment you will make into these headphones will be well worth it. I personally would rather invest in something that is higher quality, than continuously have to buy more of the same type of low quality headphones because they quit working or experience a malfunction. In the end, you will end up paying the same as you would for the high-end headphones, or worse, much more. Think of it this way: If you are spending five dollars a day on a latte, how about skipping buying that latte for fifty nine days and then, taking the money you saved to purchase these headphones?

I often hear people complain that certain high-end items, such as headphones, are way over-priced. My philosophy is that I am too poor to buy cheap products. We’ve all experienced buying something that was super cheap, only to have it break on us prematurely. Whether you buy these headphones or not, it’s entirely up to you. I just want to help you make a decision if you are in the market. I do believe that noise canceling headphones, especially the Bose brand, are the best out there and it will make your flight incredibly more enjoyable.

So there you have it. My ten tips for traveling smart in Europe. Be sure to stay tuned for the upcoming podcast where my wife and I will recap our trip and the adventures we had.

FFL 039: How I Got Serious About My Health And Lost Twenty Pounds In Two Months

Bogdan Kipko — Wed, 04 Nov 2015 06:52:19 +0000

So I want to get right into the show, and in this podcast I want to talk about how I got serious about my health, and how I lost 20 pounds in two months. So I’m going to start with this story: about 3 years ago I was super focused on my health and fitness and nutrition. And I found a program called P90X. Now, for those of you guys who are familiar with it, you know what I’m talking about. A guy named Tony Horten does it. It’s basically a 50-60 minute session that you press play on a DVD, you watch it, you do the exercises, you can do it straight at home. And it gives you amazing results. So I did that 3 years ago and I experienced amazing results, it was awesome, it was great.

Now, since that time, things changed a little bit and this year, at the beginning and kind of towards the tail end, or the middle of the year, I pretty much wasn’t really at my fitness game the way I should be. And so, I’ll never forget what happened about 3 months ago. I was walking into a meeting and somebody saw me who saw me 3 years ago. Basically, they saw me at the peak of me doing P90X. And I was fit as a fiddle, looking awesome, and when they saw me, this person, 3 months ago, they exclaimed… I mean, this is not a joke. This is what they told me. They looked at me and they were like: Wow, Bogdan, you gained so much weight! And this person wasn’t trying to be mean, they were just basically being honest. And you know what? I needed that. I needed a swift kick of honesty to be dropped on me.

After that person said that, I was at first thinking: I wonder why they’re saying that? And then I remembered that when they saw me 3 years ago, all I was eating was little snacks here and there and pretty much working out every single day. So I was like ‘Wow! Things did change!’ and I knew I got a little bit heavier, but I did not think it was that noticeable. So anyway, it was. And I thought to myself – you know what? There needs to come a point in my life where I make a radical change. Not just go on a fad diet, not just do things that are basically 3-4 months in and then stop doing it. No, I want to do a completely different lifestyle change. And 3 months ago, I was feeling sluggish, I was feeling tired, worn-out and I know the reason. It was because I was eating like junk. I was eating too much processed food, I was eating late at night, I was eating things that were not giving me energy or the things took energy away from me.

So what I did was, I decided to get serious about my health and about my nutrition. And I was able to lose 20 pounds in 2 months. Now, this was done with no ridiculous diets, no meal plans, no frozen dinners, and no lean cuisine – none of that stuff. And it cost me absolutely nothing in gym fees or membership fees. So in this podcast, I’m about to tell you exactly what I did and how I did it. And my goal with this is, I hope it inspires you. If you’re looking for a radical change in your life, this is your wakeup call to just go and do it. Now, keep in mind, if you don’t agree with things I say in this podcast, or you think gyms are awesome, or you lost a bunch of weight using shakes, meal plans or another program – that is completely cool. Whatever works for you, that’s just not me! So I’m going to tell you about my story, and what I did, what I was able to accomplish in the last 2 months with hopes of inspiring you to do the same.

Now, keep in mind: I’m not a health expert; I’m not a nutritional expert; I’m not a medical doctor. I’m just a simple guy who decided to change his life. So let’s begin.

Spiritual: I want to talk first about the spiritual part of it. And when we read the Bible, Proverbs 25:28 says this: A man without self-control is like a city broken in two and left without walls. Another version says it like this: Like a city that is broken in two and without walls is a man who has no control over his spirit. Jesus constantly talked about self-denial. And I believe that going through a radical lifestyle change is all about self-denial, it’s about self-control. And I think the problem we have in America, we don’t have a problem of what to eat, we have a problem of what not to eat. And I believe if you become disciplined in one area of your life, this will inevitably impact every other area.

The Food Philosophy: So I have a food philosophy, and here it is: the food culture in the US, it’s positioned strategically to make you overweight, sick and nearly dead. And this is not a new thing that I’m telling you because there’s been countless documentaries made about this. There are places where people live that are food islands, that don’t provide any healthy food and all it is, is fast-foods. There’s chemicals in food that have been proven that they make you feel hungry. There’s a reason why after you eat pizza or you eat Taco Bell or whatever else, you feel literally hungry 30 minutes later. It’s because they’re chemically designed to make you feel hungry. It’s food that basically rents space in your body for a very short period of time.

And when we talk about grocery stores, it’s 90% of grocery stores are filled with processed foods and the problem is the only healthy items in grocery stores are on the periphery. Have you ever noticed that? Think of the last time that you walked into a grocery store. Immediately, there’s rows and rows and rows of processed food; however all the veggies, all the meats, all the proteins, all the healthy stuff is on the periphery. A grocery is made up of 90% unhealthy food, 10% healthy food. Again, strategically designed to make you unhealthy. Not only that, but healthy food is very expensive. If you ever shopped at Whole Foods for example, I don’t know where you’re listening from, so in California, in Southern California we have Whole Foods. I think there’s a few in Washington as well. Whole Foods is incredibly expensive, because they do sell a lot of healthy food. And so, basically, in America, it has become more expensive to eat healthy food. I can either go to a fast-food restaurant, buy 10 burgers for $10, or I can go to a grocery store and barely buy 1 avocado for $10. Now, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit, but you understand my point.

So we have these organic, grass-fed, farmer-aced foods that are incredibly more expensive than your average run-of-the-mill food that’s not going to be as healthy. And basically, here is what I did. This is what my diet consisted of in the last 2 months. And I’m not going to call it a diet, because it’s not. It’s a lifestyle change. And so my wife and I radically changed the way we consumed food. We basically cleaned out our entire pantry, our fridge and dumped all the junk from there. And honestly, in this podcast, it’s easier for me to tell you what I eat instead of what I don’t eat. Because what I do eat, that list is very short and what I don’t eat is practically everything else.

What My Diet Looks Like: Basically, my diet consists of protein, such as chicken or fish, and basic vegetables. Steamed vegetables or just basic salad. Sometimes I will eat Chipotle. I believe that out of all the fast-food choices, Chipotle is the healthiest one. You just get basically a salad with meat in it and never with the tortilla. I always, 100% leave it out, it’s super clean. And so, I have a food philosophy that if it doesn’t have a mother, or if it did not come from the ground, I’m not going to eat it. So basically, my diet has been completely reduced to exclusively protein and vegetables.

What My Liquid Intake Looks Like: In regarding liquid intake, I only drink 3 things: water, about 3 liters a day which is just under a gallon; sometimes I will drink a full gallon a day. I drink Perrier or Pellegrino mineral water and, of course, coffee. And I don’t drink any of those sugary coffee drinks, none of those Frappuccino’s, white chocolate mochas – nothing of that sort. Just straight expresso with milk. That’s basically it. So that’s pretty much been my diet. It literally can fit in one sentence what I’ve been eating and I feel amazing! I feel great! More on that in just a moment.

What My Eating Schedule Looks Like: Now, some of you might be wondering what’s my eating schedule? I eat twice a day. Once around 2 PM and once around 6 PM. Then, I don’t eat after 8 PM at all, ever. And I don’t eat until 2 PM the very next day. Now, some of you are wondering: Wow, this is blasphemy! How can you not do breakfast? It’s the most important meal of the day! In fact, I would say breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. And the fact that we have believed this for such a long time has been the biggest myth. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. I have not eaten breakfast in the last 2 and a half months and I feel absolutely amazing! And what this is, is called intermittent fasting. And intermittent fasting actually bolsters your brain power, and if you’ve never heard of intermittent fasting, it’s because it’s not mainstream yet. But it’s going to become mainstream very, very soon.

Intermittent Fasting: Now, why does intermittent fasting work for me? It works with my schedule, so I don’t have to worry about having 8 small meals throughout the day. So basically, what happens is my body is in a fasted or non-fed state for about 18 hours. And once I week, I do a 24 hour fast; and this is basically what it typically looks like. So, I will eat a dinner on Sunday night, at around 6 PM. Then I won’t eat until Monday at 6 PM, which basically gives me a 24 hour time period when I’m fasting. Now, when I’m not doing a 24 hour fast, when it’s just my everyday diet, here’s basically how it looks like: I’ll wake up in the morning, I’ll have my double shot expresso, I’ll have a few bottles of water and I don’t eat my first meal, I don’t intake any food at all until about 2 PM. Now, when I intake food at 2 PM, my body has been in a fasted state for about 16-17 hours because, keep in mind, I have not been taking in any food since 7 PM or 8 PM the night before.

And so, I’ll eat at 2 o’clock. Usually it’s the same thing pretty much every single day: it’s going to be a small portion of veggies and it’s going to be protein. Whether it’s meat, chicken or fish. Then, I will usually do a workout – 40 to 50 minutes, sometimes 60 minute workout, and then I’ll have dinner around 6 or 6:30 PM and again, the dinner will be similar. It’s going to be veggies, and it’s going to be meat. And that’s it! So once 7 o’clock hits or once 8 o’clock hits, I do not eat until the very next day.

Are You Crazy? Some of you are listening to this and you’re saying: It’s crazy! How are you not able to eat? Honestly speaking, the culture in which we live in, the mass-media, the marketing from food companies, they make us think that we have to be eating all the time, because of course, it’s what they want us to do. Why? Because they’re going to make more money and we’re going to buy more hot pockets, and we’re going to buy more string cheese and we’re going to buy more of this stuff that they’re trying to sell to us through commercials, through marketing in grocery stores and here’s the thing. For thousands of years people did not eat like the way that we eat. If you think back to caveman days, people basically ate when they were able to go hunting. If you don’t hunt, you don’t eat. So basically, the men would go out and hunt, right? They would bring back food for the family to eat. Now, what would happen if the people went out and they hunted for food, and they didn’t catch anything? That means that the family did not eat for 3-4-5 days! So the intermittent fasting, not eating for 16 or 17 hours a day and having your body in a fasted state for that long of a time, it’s actually very, very normal. The problem is we’ve just been conditioned to think the opposite way.

So when we talk about, in the New Testament, Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days and we know that even though he got hungry, he did not eat anything! Now, the Bible is silent on whether he drank water or not, but it is proven that humans can survive for 40 days without water. So I would venture to say that Jesus did not drink water. And like I said before, culture has dictated to us that we need to us. It’s marketing companies, they’re doing this so they could make more money and honestly, if you were to go shopping with my wife and I and you would look into our grocery cart, you would see how simple it is. It’s super, super simple.

That’s basically what my eating regiment looks like and what I eat. And keep in mind, once I’m talking about this, I would love to tell you anything you would want to know about this, about intermittent fasting, so if you have questions, please hit me up on any social media. I’ll answer for you, I want to inspire you with this as well. I wish somebody would’ve told me about this earlier. Now, what does my exercise look like? If you’ve followed my content, Fuel for Life for some time, you know I’m a big fan of P90X. It’s pretty much what I do. I do a P90X session 4 times a week and twice a week I’ll run 2 miles. And here’s my personal opinion: so if you do this, don’t get offended. I love you still. It’s just not for me. I think gyms are a waste of time and they’re a waste of money. I think classes that people take, that people pay money to, to lose weight, they’re also a waste of money. I’ve done all of that and I found that for my wife and I, personally for us, P90X works the best. It just works the best.

Don’t Buy Into The Gimmicks: Now, I want to warn you: don’t buy into the gimmicks. The fitness industry is massive, and I want to tell you that you don’t have to spend a dime of your hard-earned money on all the gimmicks. And one thing that I did which was horrible in terms of the result, because actually it resulted in nothing, there was a fitness gym next to my house. And basically, you pay for a session, you go in there, you exercise for like 60 minutes and you have an instructor, you do different sessions, you do different stations and then your heartrate monitor is up in the screen and you kind of compete against other people. I did that, and the thing is it provided so little variance that I didn’t even get any result. And to boot, I paid money for that. And another thing that they did to scam you for your money is basically, they said: If you register for a class and you don’t show up, they’re going to deduct the cost of the class from you, which is horrible. So one time I didn’t make it and I had to pay money for pretty much nothing. Well, somebody made money off of me, I didn’t – that’s why P90X, I do it on my own time. When I want you, how I want you and I just press Play. So it works for me. Now keep in mind – a lot of you listening, you love gyms. You go there, you workout, you bulk up, you’re part of this whole generation – that’s completely fine. I’m just telling you from my perspective that P90X works for me, it’s the best thing for me.

More Fitness Gimmicks: Now, besides gyms and different classes that are a complete scam, the other thing that the fitness industry wants you to do is that they want to help you track your calories and track your steps. And what they offer is a bunch of different fitness watches. Now, I also found out that these were a complete gimmick. Now, keep in mind, if you use one of these fitness watches, awesome! More power to you! Maybe it’s something that you need to do. However, for me, I was not happy at all with them. So I had a Fit Bit Charge HR and a Fit Bit Surge. Now, if you know what Fit Bit is, you know exactly what model names I said to you. That was the medium-based model, the Charge HR and the higher-end model, the Fit Bit Surge. And I’ve also had the Apple Watch. Now, all these things are really cool, but here’s the thing, friends. If you’re not actually going to put in the work, those things are useless. Like if you’re not actually going to eat healthy, if you’re not going to continuously put junk in your body but you’re wearing a Fit Bit or you’re wearing an Apple Watch, it’s not going to help you. It’s going to function as a placebo effect.

Now, I will have to admit those things were fun. Once I were my Fit Bit while I was preaching and it told me that I burned like 220 calories in 30 minutes. Okay, that’s really cool but that’s not real information that will get me anywhere. And keep in mind, this is coming from a numbers guy. I love data, I love analyzing data, spreadsheets, graphs – but if you’re not going to eat healthy, which is literally 80% or more of where your success comes from, then don’t bother spending money on these gimmicks. They don’t do anything. It’s like somebody buying a treadmill, putting it in their garage and never using it, or dumbbells, putting them in the garage and never lifting them. If you’re going to work out, if you’re going to eat clean, it needs to be a lifestyle change. You’ll be fit and healthy and you will lose weight, regardless of whether you know that you burned 400 calories during that workout or not. So when I go out in the morning for my 2 mile run, I know I’m going to burn calories. So whether a Fit Bit tells me I’m going to burn calories, or it doesn’t tell me, it’s going to happen either way. It’s just another thing on my wrist trying to vie for my attention when I have a bunch of other gadgets and things that are already vying for my attention.

Now, the other gimmick is, I believe, is inputting how many calories you are consuming into your phone. Like I’ve literally witnessed people sitting down at dinner and for 30 minutes, fumbling with their phone and putting in how many calories they’re consuming. Honestly, that takes so much time, so much effort and I believe it’s going to lead to frustration more than any success or more than any results. You have to understand your body, you have to understand the rhythm and you have to get into the rhythm and then, eating healthy, working out and having a lifestyle that’s very healthy and fit, it’s going to become like second nature.

Tips, Tricks And Hacks: By this time in the podcast, I hope I’ve inspired you. Maybe you’re fit as a fiddle. Maybe you’re amazing. Maybe you can teach everybody Fuel for Life community. Maybe many amazing things, but maybe not. Maybe you’re looking for some tips, tricks and hacks. And I’ve learned a few things along my short two month journey that I believe will help you achieve your fitness goals. Now first, here’s what I’m going to say: if you do this particular lifestyle change, if you say: You know what? I’m going to do intermittent fasting, I’m going to eat clean, I’m going to eat twice a day, I’m not going to eat after 8 PM, I’m not going to just intake water, mineral water, coffee and I’m going to eat super clean, no junk, no sugary drinks, none of that horrible, nasty, icky stuff – you’re bound to run into some challenges. Okay? And here’s the thing: intermittent fasting, when you first start doing it, it puts your body into a fasted state for a very long time. Probably longer than you’ve ever been before. Here’s how you survive, here’s how I survived.

The first thing is I drink mineral water between my fasting times. So I’ll get up, have my coffee, have my water. Around 10 or 11 AM I’ll drink some Pellegrino or some Perrier mineral water. Then I’ll have my lunch, after lunch I’ll drink some mineral water again. I’ll have my workout, I’ll have dinner and then after 8 o’clock I’m not eating anymore because I’m intermittently fasting, plus I’m not really hungry. And if I do get hungry, when I drink mineral water, it makes me feel full because of the bubbles and basically you’re good to go. That kind of quenches your hunger. Because your body doesn’t actually need as much food as you think it does. So for me, here are my 3 saviors during times that I get super hungry. So the first one is I drink mineral water throughout the day. The second thing is, I’m a huge chocolate fan. I love chocolate so much and so I obviously I can’t eliminate that. And that’s the other thing I wanted to say.

When we talk about intermittent fasting and it’s a lifestyle change, it’s not saying you’re never going to have any more of your favorite foods. It’s not saying you’re never going to have a piece of chocolate, it’s not saying you’re never going to have fries, or a burger, pizza, pasta – it’s just having those things in moderation. That you’re not eating pasta and burgers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So besides mineral water, because I’m a huge chocolate lover, I love the chocolates – they’re called Green and Blacks, I think they’re out of the UK. That’s the brand. And so basically, I’ll stock up on those and if it’s 8, 9, 10 PM at night, I get super hungry, I get the munchies, what I call them, I’ll have one or two squares of chocolate with some mineral water. And it’s amazing – I feel full, I don’t need to eat. So that’s what I do.

Another thing is a brand of chips called Pop Chips. These things are amazing, they’re super low calorie and they’ll fill you up super fast. So get a bunch of different flavors with those if you’re supper hungry, you’re doing this, it’s late at night – throw in a couple of chips, a couple of chocolates and you’re good to go. And now you’re thinking: Oh my goodness! This guy’s crazy! He’s eating chocolates and he’s eating chips and he lost 20 pounds in 2 months? Yeah! And it works!

The crazy part is that when I shared this with a friend recently, he said: You know what? It took me like almost a year to lose this amount of weight. And so, this is how powerful I think intermittent fasting is. So that’s what I recommend. So Pop Chips, Green Blacks chocolates and mineral water. Those are kind of like things that will help you through. Now, the other thing that’s very important to know is a thing called calorie cycling, or zig zag dieting. Now, here’s what happens. Your body is highly intelligent. I still can’t believe that there are atheists out there who don’t believe in God. I mean, I don’t understand how, when you look at the human body, but I digress, this is for another podcast. So when we being to eat less and you being to eat clean, your body will require less food. So what might happen to you is you might hit a plateau with your fitness goals and your metabolism will slow down. Here’s how I hacked the system: once a week I will have a cheap meal, and I call this calorie cycling or carb loading. And I’ve shared this before on my Snapchat. By the way, if you’re not following me on Snapchat, just search for my name and add me. And you can see highly exciting life: drinking coffee and mineral water and being sad with my salad and chicken. And it’s funny because I was traveling a few weeks ago and one of my friends, when we met up for dinner, he’s like: Hey, so is it calorie cycling day? So they kind of see what it looks like.

Calorie Cycling: So here’s how calorie cycling looks for me: one night a week, I’ll eat a huge burger. I’m a big burger fan, like honestly, before I started intermittent fasting, I did a burger once every other day. Now it’s once a week. So I’ll eat a huge burger, bacon, cheese on it, everything, fries, onion rings and what happens is after that meal it tricks my body into thinking I’m back to eating things that are not the healthiest for me. So this actually speeds up my metabolism. Also, when I eat this food, the intensity of the flavors is so climatic and mind-blowing that now I can sense, and smell and taste food much more clearly because I’m not eating all that junk that will mess up your sense of smell and taste and everything else. So cheat meals once a week are a great way to go, and cheat meals get you something to look forward to. And here’s the thing – there’s going to get to a point where you’re not going to want to have food that’s not healthy because your body is going to be repulsed by it.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’ll say: you know what? What about when you’re at a party or when you’re at a social gathering, or you basically live in a household where people are not going to cook food for you that is going to be to your specifications? What you can do is just choose to eat the healthiest option out of all the options that are available and you’ll be good to go. Keep in mind: I’m from the Slavic culture. We love food – all of our food has either mayonnaise or sour cream in it. And a lot of it! And I totally understand that. So when you go to a party or you go to a social gathering, choose the healthiest option. And it’s okay to have food that you love, but just don’t make it your entire meal. Remember: it’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change. And you’re going to be so happy that you did it!

Life Style Change: Which brings me to my next point. After you being to eat clean, you won’t want all that junk, garbage food that you used to eat before because your body will be repulsed by it. I’m going to tell you a personal story. One of my absolute favorite drinks ever was Diet Coke. I loved Diet Coke. I just loved it so much, I loved the way it would taste. And so I would go to dinner with friends and I would basically drink like 3-4 diet cokes. So when you go to dinner to a restaurant, you get free refills so I was just getting more and more diet coke. And people already knew, okay – Bogdan’s on his 3^rd or 4^th diet coke, means he’s had a really stressful day. That’s horrible! I would drink sometimes 12-24 ounces of diet coke a day. And now, I can’t even take a sip of it without gagging. It’s disgusting! Now, keep in mind, if you love coke, if you drink soda, whatever – that’s completely fine. I just don’t, I just don’t drink it. It’s something that I do not like, you’ll never go wrong with water, you’ll never go wrong with mineral water and most definitely you’ll never go wrong with coffee. And this is what I noticed: when I began to do intermittent fasting, when I began to completely clear my diet and everything from all these garbage junk foods, I began to have such a clarity of thought, I began to think clear. My thoughts became much richer, much deeper and I began to notice that I was a lot more alert because all these different foods were not going into my body and all of these different foods were not affecting my thinking process.

The Power Of Pattern: I mentioned before the power of pattern, and it’s basically doing the same thing over and over and over again, and that’s how you basically achieve great results. And I mentioned in blog posts before that one of the ways that I simplify my life is when I’m basically doing my business meetings or just having meetings in general, if you would see me during the weekday, you would only see me wearing two types of shirt: either it would be a white shirt, or it would be a checkered shirt. I cleared out my entire closet and just let either white or checkered shirts. Why did I do that? So I don’t have to make these decisions in the morning. The decision for me has already been made, it’s all about minimalism and I believe with food it’s the same type of thing. And if you look in my fridge, it’s very, very empty. It has mineral water, it has water, it has veggies and it has protein. And that’s all it has, and I believe we has humans can survive on that, in fact we can excel on that and I think that’s how we were created to it. But unfortunately, marketing and everything else pretty much ruined it and we’re brainwashed into thinking we don’t have to. So that’s my little rant about that.

And I love intermittent fasting because my mind is super clear. I get my best work done in my fasted state because my mind is clear and it’s not clouded by any type of food particles. So anyway, that’s what I would say. Now, keep in mind: this is a lifestyle change. And if you do decide to do intermittent fasting, don’t expect everyone around you to agree with you. In fact, I would probably venture to say that as you listen throughout this podcast, there were maybe points you didn’t agree with me on. And it’s completely okay. Not everybody’s going to be on-board with you, and that’s okay. You don’t have to convince people to get on-board with you, you have to do you. Do what works best for you. That’s what pretty much works best for me, for my wife, and that’s pretty much what we decided to do.

If you have any specific questions about any of the things we talked about, my diet, the things I eat, the things I don’t eat, what my eating schedule looks like, what my exercise schedule looks like, I mention all of these things in the podcast and I’m going to try to get this podcast transcribed into a PDF, that way if you are more of a reader than an audio listener, you can read that. But if you have any questions, still, please feel free to message me on any social media and I will respond right away. I hope this will help you and inspire you to be a self-controlled person and not allow culture or the world to dictate to you how you handle fitness and nutrition. So I’m praying for you and my God bless you in this journey.

That’s it, friends! This is the podcast where I talked about how I got serious about my health and lost 20 pounds in 2 months. And this was an amazing lifestyle change, it’s not even about the pounds being lost, it’s about the lifestyle that was changed and I feel great, I feel amazing, I feel like I can be more alert for my family, for my church, for my work – everything that I do. So it worked for me, I hope this podcast inspired you. If you have any questions, let me know and thank you so much for listening!

Why Having Too Many Options Is Actually Making You Unhappy

Bogdan Kipko — Wed, 21 Oct 2015 04:28:50 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I cannot work in a cluttered environment. Whenever I come into my office and sit at my desk, I must have it in immaculate condition. A clean, un-cluttered work space serves as a mental stimulant for me that now I can begin doing work and being productive. I have on my desk my phone, my double shot Nespresso, a Pellegrino, my laptop and my headphones. I take a sip of the Pellegrino to cleanse the palate, then take a sip of the perfectly pulled espresso. A beautiful and lingering aftertaste tells me the shots were just right. There we go. Now I am ready to do some good work.

Maybe you are different. Maybe you thrive in a chaotic environment and are highly efficient. Paperwork, writing instruments, multiple screens and a flurry of devices are what can keep you sane and on track. We are all wired differently and that is completely fine. As long as you find whatever it is that helps you be all that God created you to be.

I believe that the world in which we live in has gotten chaotically cluttered. In the last century, there have been more technological advancements than ever before in the history of humanity. In the previous generation, the litmus test for figuring out whether a person was progressing intelligently was realizing if they could read.

I believe that in this generation, the litmus test for maturity as a human being will inevitably be your ability to choose. To make a choice. To make a decision. To pick something.

I recently declared a war against options. I decided to simplify my life. I did this so that I can spend more time thinking and being, instead of spending my time choosing and deciding.

One of my favorite verses is found in Psalm 90:12 where the psalmist says the following: “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” The endless choices and options that we are faced with on a daily basis are sucking the life out of us. They are making us creatures that are slaves to devices, unable to master the simple act of making a choice.

Here are ten things that I did in my life that radically simplified my daily options, uncluttered my mind and allowed me to focus more on the things that matter in life, namely my relationship with God, my relationship with my wife, my church and my online community:

1.Nutrition: If it doesn’t have a mother or if it did not come from the ground, I won’t eat it. When I walk into a grocery story, I will only shop on the periphery of it. Ninety percent of most grocery stores are filled with food that is not good for you.

2. Clothing: I got rid of and donated ninety percent of my closet. The only thing I left was either white or blue collared shirts, black slacks and simple casual wear. Every morning I don’t have to decide what to wear because it is pre-determined. It will be black slacks, either a white shirt or a checkered blue shirt or a checkered gray shirt.

3. Devices. I use Apple products such as an iPhone and a Macbook and a Mac Mini. Not because they are cool or trendy but because they are useful. What my life requires (writing, reading, creating new content), those devices work perfectly and they sync flawlessly. I don’t want to learn a new system or complicate my life even more. It doesn’t matter to me what new product is made by another company. I am sure it’s amazing. But for me, Apple works. I like simple.

4. Beverages. I have simplified my hydro intake to the three following things. Coffee first of course, as you read in the introduction of this post. Then it is plain and simple non-exciting bottled water and Pellegrino. No soda, no juices, no shakes. If those things work for you, that’s awesome. For me it was about simplifying my life so that I can make less choices and focus more on what matters.

5. Social Media. I stick with Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter. I have a Pinterest account but I never use it. My wife is on Pinterest and she’s awesome. How do you pin stuff? See, that’s too complex for me.

6. Entertainment. On Netflix, I only watch The Office And The Simpsons, so that I can relax my brain after a long day. Yes, pastors do that. I know it’s unbelievable. I don’t follow any other shows simply because it’s too complex for me. If you do, that’s awesome and I applaud your patience. I just don’t have that kind of patience.

7. Opportunities. I get many opportunities to do things that I most likely would do well. I don’t just want to do something well. I want to do something great. If that opportunity does not align with my life mission and vision statement, then I simply decline it. I say no to good things so I can say yes to great things.

8. Bible Translation. I stick with the ESV. I know there are a lot of other great versions out there. For me, the ESV works. I will definitely use other version when I am studying or preparing for a sermon or a talk. But for my daily reading, I stick to one version. Less complexity and more simplicity.

9. Fitness. I believe that gyms are a waste of money. I prefer p90x. Just press play and do your thing. I’ve completed it multiple times in the last few years and it’s super simple. If gyms work for you, that’s awesome. They don’t for me and I want to do what works for me.

10. Paper. I intentionally own a paper Bible. I preach from a paper Bible. There is something about bringing a paper Bible to the pulpit with you that cannot be replicated with an iPad.

If you’ve made it this far in the list, you have amazing patience and I am thankful that I’ve piqued your curiosity about my life.

What specific things have you personally done to simplify your life?

Dear Justin Bieber: I Agree With What You Said About The Church

Bogdan Kipko — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 02:23:57 +0000

Dear Justin Bieber, I am so pumped for you bro! It is really encouraging to hear that you want to live like Jesus. In one of your recent radio interviews, there was definitely a different spirit about you, one of healthy temperament and also a passionate desire to turn your life around and life for Christ – for this I applaud you and will pray for you to continue forward.

After reading your Rolling Stone magazine interview, I will say that I agree with your statement about the church. You’re right, you don’t “NEED,” to go to church. In fact, I would say that you actually “GET,” to go to church. To tear asunder the understanding of a follower of Jesus and the church is ultimately a complete fallacy.

One of the primary characteristics of someone who has faithfully decided to follow Jesus is a deep hunger and desire within that person to BELONG to a local church, which is basically the body of Christ (Jesus’ bride). So to separate Jesus from the church is to separate Jesus (the groom), from the bride (the church).

Going to church isn’t just for experiencing community (although that is a part of it), it is actually God’s will for your life (Heb. 10:25).

Here are ten things you aren’t able to do if you decide to follow Jesus but not be an integral, committed part of a local church:

1. Obey Jesus as He himself said that He will build His church and that it is a part of His will for you to be a part of one.

2. Encourage people in your local church by spurring one another to love and good works.

3. Sit under the preaching and teaching of pastors (who are put in that place specifically to care for your soul).

4. Serve other believers with the gifts and talents that God has given you.

5.Be a part of the “body,” by being involved in ministry.

6. Instruct others with love and grace.

7. Honor other believers.

8. Exercise compassion and kindness to fellow believers.

9. A deep joy as you are knit together in love with your fellow brothers and sisters.

10. Be a part of the “living stones,” that are built together into a “spiritual house,” the church.

Justin, I believe that the church needs you.

With the incredible platform that God has given you – please modify your pulpit so that your message and your mission unilaterally proclaims from packed out concert arenas to elite/lavish parties – that Jesus Christ is the God-Man who came to earth to die on a cross two thousand years ago in order that the sin of humanity would be paid for and that anyone and everyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be saved.

And that those who reject the message or the good news of the only God who is Jesus Christ, will perish and will not experience eternity with Jesus.

Justin, I am rooting for you brother. In the words of St. Paul, keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Your incredibly obscure brother in Christ,

Bogdan.

FFL 038: Seven Reasons You Need To Stop Dating Different Churches

Bogdan Kipko — Wed, 08 Jul 2015 23:41:20 +0000

So there has been an issue on my mind that I have been thinking about for a while. Recently it’s come to the forefront more and I am going to devote this entire podcast to it. It has to do with the habit of some people going to a large mega church for the Sunday service, but not being able to connect with any people there, plugging in to a small group that is tethered to a small church. So what tends to happen is the Sunday service at the mega church is attended, but during the week, the “community,” aspect is being taken care of by a group from a smaller church. I think that this is a real issue and a real problem. More on why that is in the podcast so please have a listen.

How Should Christians React To The Supreme Court Ruling On Marriage

Bogdan Kipko — Fri, 26 Jun 2015 17:38:57 +0000

Today, by a vote of five to four the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that same-sex couples may now marry in all 50 states, striking down the bans of states who have attempted do so. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jim Obergefell in Obergefell v. Hodges, a conglomerate of cases suing for the recognition of same-sex marriage.

There is no other issue that more clearly defines our cultural crisis as does the issue of homosexuality. This is also an incredibly difficult topic to discuss because it is emotionally charged for people on both sides of the debate. If you are alive and breathing, most likely you have a very strong opinion on this subject. So the question I would like to answer in this post, is the following: How should the church approach homosexuality?

When I lived in Washington state, I worked in the financial industry, in an area of Seattle called Capitol Hill. Eighty percent of the people who I worked with for a short time while there, were either gay or lesbian.

Even as I write this, I do have gay friends and acquaintances. I believe that I don’t have to agree with you, to be friends with you.

I want to mention this at the onset of this post because it’s not like I am writing about these issues, ensconced in an ivory tower, oblivious to the reality of life. This is coming from a place of deep conviction for me, but also from a place of love and concern for the global church, that I love and have committed to serve, because of Jesus and to the glory of Jesus.

As a pastor, I can’t think of a better place to start answering this question than the Bible, which is the literal Word that God has prepared for people.

What is sin?

Sin is defined as going against the law of God (1 Jn. 3:4 ; Deut. 9:7 ; Joshua 1:18 ). Doing something contrary to what God’s law requires or says. Sin is an attempt to fill a legitimate need, using a non-legitimate method. Sin is any activity that harms the relationship with God and with other people.

We were created and designed by God to act and respond to Him in a certain way, that is best for us. Sin breaches that connection, rejects the counsel of God, and ultimately rejects God Himself. But a life freed from the control of sin does not guarantee a life free from sin. There will still be a struggle with this – and this is one of the primary indicators that you are an authentic follower of Jesus.

Is homosexuality a sin?

The Bible defines homosexuality as a sin, in a long line of sins (Gen. 19:1-3 ;Lev. 18:22 ; 20:13 ; Rom. 1:26-27 ; 1 Cor. 6:9-11 ). It is a desire to fill a legitimate need, in a non-legitimate way. The Bible is clear about God desiring for a sexual relationship to stay between one man and one woman.

Why didn’t Jesus talk about homosexuality?

Some people say that while Paul did mention homosexuality, Jesus did not. SoPaul is accused of being a legalist while Jesus is positioned as someone having a loving nature, specifically towards this type of lifestyle. Here is why this is an invalid argument:

Jesus spent the majority of His ministry in Jewish lands, surrounded by Jews who were very familiar with the Old Testament Law.
Jesus generally dealt with sin on a case by case basis (woman caught in adultery; the Pharisees’ hypocrisy, just to name a couple of instances).
Paul worked with the gentiles, specifically Romans, in a culture where homosexuality was frequently practiced.
Paul’s audience had no familiarity with the Old Testament or its practices.
Paul needed to go out of his way to explain certain cultural issues, some of which were idolatry, adultery and alcohol abuse.

In addition, just because Jesus did not condemn homosexuality specifically, it does not mean He approved of it. Jesus did not specifically mention a lot of things that we know to be wrong, like bestiality or torture, but that does not mean He approved of those things.

What Jesus does is quote from Genesis to proclaim God’s design for marriage as the basis for His own teaching on divorce (Mark 10:6-8 ):

But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh.

For two men to become one flesh would be a violation of God’s created order and intent. God created man and woman to be permanently united in marriage, not two men or two women.

Does the Bible forbid homosexual activity?

The Bible is pretty consistent in forbidding homosexual behavior. So, if God’s will is expressed in the Bible, it then follows that homosexual behavior is against God’s will.

Five streams of churches and their approach to homosexuality:

1. Theologically Liberal. These churches have capitulated to the demands of the homosexual movement and now accept homosexuality as a fully validated lifestyle. These types of churches usually do not believe that the Bible is the full Word of God, or do not read it literally, citing historical context for many Biblical commands.

2. Theologically Unstable. These churches have not yet capitulated to the movement, but are on the brink of doing so. If not infused with pastors and leaders who hold to an orthodox view of the Bible, they will potentially begin to bless what the Bible condemns.

3. Theologically Neutral. These churches do not accept or agree that this is a legitimate lifestyle, but they do not have a desire to make this publicly known. Their position is that of a safe neutrality. Seldom if ever, this issue is talked about from the pulpit.

4. Theologically Conservative. These churches hold to the traditional and historical Biblical view about homosexuality. Much like what was described in the beginning of this post. However, these churches are still attempting to find a way to approach this with truth and love, instead of only truth and a love that is non-receptive by the people espousing this lifestyle.

5. Theologically Relevant. These churches affirm that homosexuality is a sin, but it is no more a sin than any other sin. They not only affirm that this sin is forgivable and conquerable through the power of Christ, but they have also found ways in which they can compassionately and courageously approach this subject – and bring people in – instead of pushing them out.

How should the church approach homosexuality?

Here are eleven practical suggestions on how the church can speak on this subject in love and with truth:

The church should approach homosexuality in the same manner we would speak of every other sin.
We need to speak the truth in love, as we would on any other sin plaguing the church today.
The church should speak the Biblical truth about the topic, in a loving way, providing a safe place for doubt and dialogue.
The church will sin if it calls homosexuality something other than sin. The church will also sin if they say this sin is not forgivable by Jesus.
The church must teach that the gospel of Jesus Christ is powerful enough to not just be an addition to your life, but that it is the total transformation to your life. This includes a gradual decrease in loving sinful desire and a gradual increase in loving what God loves.
The church is not a place where sinners are welcomed to remain in their sin. The church is a place where sinners are welcomed to repent of their sin.
The church must teach the basics of Biblical morality to those who come to church, so that they will be ready to give an adequate answer to anyone who asks.
The church must teach young people on how to lovingly engage in dialogue with people who espouse this lifestyle – encouraging dialogue, instead of debate.
The church must teach what it means to be a man or a woman, based on how the Bible defines it.
The church must talk about God’s gift of sex and the sacred covenant of marriage.
The church must not just explain the “what,” but also adequately and relevantly explain the “why,” and the “how.”

Every church is almost guaranteed to include people struggling with same-sex attraction. What the world is waiting to see from the church, is what we will have to offer after affirming that homosexuality is a sin. After this, then what?

The church can’t change its message to meet the modern standards of a demand for a different message. At the same time, the church needs to approach this subject in a way in which it invites people to dialogue, instead of shutting people out because of argumentative debate.

Authentic compassion is demonstrated when people are told about the truth of their condition with love.

We need to infuse our courage of telling the truth with a compassionate way of telling that truth. We need to make sure our compassion is full of courage.

At the end of the day, the gospel of Jesus is for sinners – for homosexual sinners as much as it is for heterosexual sinners.

At the most basic level, when someone looks at an individual who professes to be a Christian, all they want to see is Jesus.

The world is waiting for the church to practice what it preaches, with courage and compassion.

Thirty One Lessons I Learned From Being Alive For Thirty One Years

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:21:27 +0000

I woke up this morning to hundreds of notifications from friends and family, wishing me a Happy Birthday. I have to admit that it is very encouraging to know that many people actually remember your birthday. Even if Facebook is the only reason someone remembers, it is still great. After downing my first single shot espresso macchiato of the morning, I knew that I had to write this post. I knew that if I don’t get these thoughts out of my mind, they will be gone forever. Time is a fleeting thing and shows no mercy. Time does not sympathize with my schedule nor is it a respecter of my to do list. Time just keeps going. It doesn’t stop for anyone. This is why Saint Paul emphatically tells us to make the best use of our time (Eph. 5:16). But the frustrating thing about time is that it is not elastic. I can’t stretch it. I can’t contain it. I can’t pause it or store it to use later. My only option left is to use it, before it is gone forever. So my inventory list of things I learned in the last thirty-one years is my feeble attempt of trying to press pause on time and reflecting on what I have learned and how much more I still have to learn.

Jesus is in love with the current version of you, not the improved version of you. There is not a moment where God loves you less than He does right now. This overwhelming grace continues to press into me as I get older. I only hope and pray I can become more and more effective at overwhelming others with the same grace as I receive.
Your spouse is the most important person in your life after Jesus. If you are a man, you have to learn to lead your wife in such a way where she is beyond thrilled about helping you do what you have been called to do. I’ve said before that theologically and methodologically compatible spouses will shake continents and move mountains. Do whatever you can to make your spouse a priority in your life. If you don’t, someone else or something else will.
There is nothing more important than people. If you work with people in any capacity, you are in the people business. If you have to make inconvenient concessions in your life in order to serve people, it is totally worth it. Be the practical Jesus to people in your life. Bring the proverbial better wine to the party and clean up the mess afterwards. Just like Jesus.
Time is not on your side. All of us have one life to live. God has given us gifts, talents and abilities. Some hone their craft while others squander it. Everyone gets to use the same amount of time but not everyone uses the time in the way in which it should be utilized.
It is fine if people are not excited about your vision. Many times, God gives people visions and plans that far surpass the understanding of other people. Not everyone will be pumped and on board with what God is calling you to do. That should neither devastate nor discourage you. You do you and let others be who they are.
Put in the work. Paul said that he worked harder than anyone else but it was God’s grace that worked in him and through him. I believe that then harder we work, the more opportunities we will receive. We need to put ourselves directly into the pathway of God’s favor and blessings. And that comes with hard work.
Say no to good things so that you can say yes to great things. Not every opportunity that comes my way I have to agree with. Many things I have to say no to. About ten years ago I figured out exactly what God has called me to do and if an opportunity doesn’t fit into that sphere, then I decline it.
When you sense the wave of the Holy Spirit in your life, ride that wave out as much and as long as possible. You don’t know when the next one will be coming along.
If some people don’t get along with you or don’t want to work with you, then find those who do and those who don’t, will find others that are more compatible.
Most people who are more successful or more accomplished than you don’t really know much more than you and are not more intelligent than you. They are simply more hard-working than you.
Persistence is more important than intelligence.
You can’t out-give God. The more generous you become, the shockingly more generous God will become. Be bold. Generosity is the new currency.
You don’t own anything. Everything I have and you have is God’s.
Keep a loose grip on your possessions. Have your possessions but don’t let your possessions have you.
Surround yourself with positive people. Intentionally put yourself in environments where people bring out the best in you.
Some people in your continue to suck the life out of you. It is better to move on from those relationships.
The best thing a person can do in their life is to commit themselves to a local church. There is no greater return on investment than being all in within a local church.
Don’t wait for change to happen and become the change you wanted to have happened.
Be bold and dream big. Whatever you think in your mind right now that you would like to accomplish, exponentially increase that. We serve a big God and I see no reason why God won’t accomplish much more than we could ever imagine.
Push through to the next level in all that you do. Whatever art or craft or skill that you have, continue pushing the envelope. Hustle hard and leave the results to God.
Enjoy the process more than the result. Find pleasure in doing what God called you to do, in serving people, in being in the center of God’s will. Don’t worry about the results.
Find that one thing that makes you feel most alive when you do it and figure out if that helps anyone else. If it does, spend the rest of your life doing that and getting better at doing that one thing.
If someone doesn’t like your idea, find those that do and work with them. There is still people who don’t know Jesus and people who need help. Find your area of influence, pour your heart out into that area and excel at it.
Just because you don’t feel God’s presence, it does not mean that He is not present.
Be yourself and quit trying to copy other people. There is no other version of you out there so be the best version of who God created you to be.
Money is a gift and not a God. Steward it wisely and hold it with a loose grip.
Figure out what God has called you to do and spend as many hours as possible learning and molding and shaping your craft. Be utterly obsessed with what you do so that you can be a better servant to other people, using your gifts.
Continue building relational equity with people. Even when it is painful, when it is not convenient and when you get nothing in return. You are in the people business. People matter to God and people matter to you.
Don’t let success go to your head and don’t let failure go to your heart.
Sometimes, your biggest setbacks pave way for your biggest breakthroughs. Take huge risks. You only live once. Go all in and pray like crazy that God would bless it.
Inspire people, empower people and let people loose to do exactly what they love to do. This is the best way to work with teams and to inspire teams.

If any of the above inspired you in any way, would you please share your feedback and share this post with others? Thank you for reading this – I appreciate you!

It’s Official. We Are Going Forward To Reach Irvine For Jesus

Bogdan Kipko — Mon, 02 Mar 2015 17:24:46 +0000

Hi guys,

I am so excited to let you know about the expansion of our ministry.

Beginning Sunday March 29 at 10:30am, we are launching a brand new worship experience, specifically designed and strategically located to reach Irvine and surrounding areas.

We are naming this brand new worship experience Forward Church because it describes exactly the movement that God is perpetuating within this community.

Click play on the video below to watch a short introduction to The Forward Church:

We are going forward with the gospel of Jesus, to a context in need of radical redemption.

I have spent the last ten years working in the business and entrepreneurial world and in a local church.

This has given me an amazing opportunity to share the gospel with people who never darkened the door of a traditional church.

I feel like God has been preparing me for this very moment during this last decade.

There is this unwavering and undisputed call that I have in my life to preach the gospel, to share the message of Jesus and to help others realize that there is no other god that can give you joy and contentment in your life, except for Jesus.

This is also why I believe that now is the time to reach young professionals, young families, business people and entrepreneurs in the place that some call the Second Silicon Valley, Irvine California.

But why launch another gathering when there are so many amazing gospel-centered communities in South Orange County?

Over 3 million people live in Orange County.There are many amazing churches in existence already.

Even if all the churches in South Orange County reached their maximum capacity in attendance, there would still be over 80% of the population who are not followers of Jesus.

That is roughly over 2 million people.

This speaks volumes to the fact that we need more new gatherings and more communities that would go forward to reach more people for Jesus.

No matter how connected the young professionals and entrepreneurs are, there is still a sense of loneliness and lack of authentic community that shapes their daily life.This is why the Forward Church will be strategically located in order to shape, form and cultivate real life community so that the narrative that God has written for each person would visibly be realized.

More than 10k people live within 3 miles of the location of Forward Church.
The largest demographic of people living in Irvine is aged 18–24 (31.44%)
Coming in at a close second is aged 25-44 (24.1%).
40 percent of those people work in the Irvine Spectrum Area which is in the heart and epicenter of where the church facility is located.
Irvine was named the best-run city in the U.S. by 24/7 Wall Street
Irvine is ranked as the fifth best place to live in America
Irvine is consistently ranked as the safest city in the United States.

With all of it’s glory and impressive statistics, Irvine is a dark place because an overwhelming majority of people living there are not followers of Jesus.

What does it matter if Irvine gains the whole world but loses it’s soul by not acknowledging Jesus as Lord.

This is why I believe with all of my heart that the relentless and resolute call placed within me is to reach the people of Irvine and it’s surroundings with the message of Jesus.

The vision of Forward Church is simple: We are a community of faith, centered around Jesus. We want to help people realize the promise of God’s good news, for every part of their life.

Having said that, here are some practical and logistical details:

We covet your prayers for every one of these items because we believe that Jesus can do and will do far more than we have ever imagined.

By God’s grace, we have secured an amazing space in which to gather, about three blocks from The Irvine Spectrum Center.
The address is 90 Pacifica, Irvine CA 92618.
The folks over at Irvine Spectrum Double Tree Hotel were gracious enough to allow us to use one of their beautiful spaces to hold our worship services in.
If you know anything about The Irvine Company or The City Of Irvine, this in and of itself is a huge miracle and we thank God for that.
We are so pumped about Shea Dalton joining us as one of our worship leaders. Please be in prayer for Shea and our other worship leaders as they prepare to lead people in the worship of the true and living God.
We also received news that another solid young guy is basically taking a huge step of faith and moving across the country from the East Coast to Southern California to be a part of this community. Paul Kostyukov will be helping me with many of the pastoral duties. Please be in prayer for Paul as he transitions.
Our first official gathering will happen on Sunday March 29, beginning at 10:30am.
Our Easter Celebration Service will happen the following Sunday April 5th, at 10:30am.
We will have regular Sunday Worship Experiences every Sunday at 10:30am.

We want to be a community where the Orange County myth of building an image for yourself is debunked and real, raw and authentic community is fostered among people.

We want to be a community of different looking sinners, in need of the same looking cross.

We want to be a church where indifferent Christians begin to move forward with their faith and those that don’t know Jesus, would get to know him on a personal level as their Savior And Friend.

Most of all, we want to rally around a risen Savior – Jesus Christ and boldly follow Him wherever He leads.

The best is yet to come (Eph. 3:20-21).

In Christ,

Bogdan Kipko.
