Shine
Jeff and Ally Davidson
At the end of every podcast, we like to ask our guests to share what God has been teaching them in this season of life. Jeff and Ally Davidson shared how God is using them to be a bright light.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16 ESV
Every year we come up with a company theme and it's something kind of in the season that we're in and something that fuels me and Ally. And we think that it will resound throughout the company. And this year's theme is we’re reading in Matthew and Matthew 5:16, where they talk about let your light shine before others so they may see your good days and glorify your father in heaven.
And we decided to roll out with our theme word for this year as shine. And we just wanted to keep in mind that the way we keep score a lot of times on earth is based on numbers or revenue or growth. But that's not really the way to keep score. You'll see the impact you're making. God wants to see the way that you're loving your neighbor and the way that you're being a positive influence on your community. And if you do that well in this fairly dark world that seems to be darkening by the day, you can provide a bright light and shine.
You know, and each time a senior trainer is out there on the field or the location opens up in a new parking lot. We just sort of like that metaphor as we can abide by our principles and our values and have great customer experiences.
It's just one more way that we can try to brighten up the lives of our communities and try to shine. So that's something that's fueling a lot of us this year and a theme we're trying to build on and just remind ourselves of that’s how we keep score.
