Coach Mahr - Godspeed and Guideposts for Your Journey
Coach Mahr here serving as God’s Huckleberry to provide some inspiration and guideposts along our journey from where we are to where we need to be. This podcast will share his 4 decades of life experiences as a business leader, multi-faceted sports coach, community volunteer, and father with his faith to share insights gained, lessons learned to demonstrate where God’s prominence is interwoven through everyday life.
This podcast will use winsome anecdotes and imagery to create “stickiness,” while meeting people where they are in life, inspire them to reflect on their situation and discern where they need to be. Coach recognizes he is in his "Final 1/3," so his emphasis is on building up others and fostering ‘eulogy virtues’ as opposed to ‘resume virtues;’ a focus on being and not just doing; and understanding it is a privilege to serve our neighbors.

Creating a Welcoming Environment
We were commanded to live every day with love for each of our neighbors. To welcome them. The best we can today, then get up tomorrow and do it again. We must rise to the level of belonging. Belonging implies welcoming - acceptance and inclusion. Belonging is good for society. Creating a Welcoming environment in our community means loving those that live in our community, all of them. The foundation of welcoming is Love. The Bible does not say “tolerate thy neighbor” or even “be civil with thy neighbor,” it says, “love thy neighbor.” To love my neighbor is to welcome my neighbor. To welcome my neighbor is to see them through the eyes of God’s grace.
