There are 'hungry hyenas' out there wanting to distract you from your mission and vision! Better take care to Guard Your Mission!
It's back!
I am "re-booting" the Moment for Mission podcast! In this episode you will hear the 'why' behind my decision to do this. Perhaps my journey and struggles will help you along your mission journey
Episode 48 Summary:
In this episode, I talk about how just as bread or nourishment is essential to our body, so our mission can be vital to a full life of success and service.
Notable and Quotable:
Here are some of the questions I posit in the podcast--
1) What sustains our Mission? —
What inputs do I need to invest into my mission and vision to give it the energy and strength to go forward? When my mission and vision is ‘tired’ or even “hangry”—what do I need to do to get it revived, even resuscitated? Could I track this, much like you would enter data into a food or exercise log, to see if I can notice trends which make my mission more OR less effective, energetic, and empowered?
2) And...The more important question,
Does our mission sustain us?
Is my mission a burden?
Does my mission and vision sap my strength?
When I spend time and energies towards the fulfillment of my mission and vision am I empowered or exhausted?
Or
Does thinking about my mission fire me up?
When I ponder my vision and trajectories do I get excited and enthused?
As I put time and talent towards my mission and vision, am I growing and being strengthened?

Summary Episode 45
The Moment for Mission podcast series seeks to offer inspiration and encouragement in the pursuits of our mission in order to make a difference.
Today, I am continuing with part 3 of my reflections on “Your Mission in Times of Uncertainty.”
Here are some of the questions I suggested that we ponder during these times of forced sequestration:
Who am I ?
Who do I want to be?
What do I need to do to go from who I am to who I want to be?
Where am I?
Where am I heading?
What changes to I need to make in order to put my mission as a priority?
How can I better involve my team, my family, my community, my faith, in my mission and vision?

M4M Podcast Episode 43 Summary
In M4M Episode 43, I am going to be sharing the first part of a several segment long series titled: "Your Mission in Times of Uncertainty."
Our world is facing a terrible global pandemic with the unrelenting spread of the CoVid-19 virus. These are certainly trying times with the reality of the Coronavirus’ impact being played out daily in our newsfeeds--
Crises change everything.
I am in contact with some friends in various places in the world and this current global pandemic is a crisis that has almost everyone simply stopped in their tracks.
So, what about our mission? What happens to our vision in times of crisis?

Moment for Mission
Summary-- Episode 42
Sometimes in our lives, “stuff” happens. Of course, it may be of our own doing or it can be things that are completely out of our control. But whatever the ‘stuff,’ we end up with a “delayed mission.” That is my topic on this episode!

Episode 40 Summary
What do you do when you mission suddenly comes to a screeching halt? It happens to most of us! In this episode I give a couple of ideas that might be of use if you find yourself in such a situation!
Episode 39
Your Mission and Stress
Yikes! We all are stressed at some point. Our dear friend in Africa often tells us she is "stressed up." What happens when our mission gets stressful and we get stalled or upset? I give a few ideas on dealing with stress in our mission in this episode.
Summary Episode 38--
Today on Moment for Mission, I am looking at the other side of that coin (from last week's "Inward Mission" episode) , “Outward Mission.”
I use the analogy of the coin deliberately, because I think our mission and vision must have both those sides, the “Inward” and the “Outward” to be complete and useful. Just like the quarter in my pocket, if only one side is engraved, then it is really of no use and no worth. We can have the best Inward Missional inspiration, but without an Outward Mission manifestation or Outward vehicle to express it, it is not yet fulfilled.
Summary Episode 37
Our mission, whether it is our own personal quest, our family’s goal, or the mission of our organization is ultimately dependent upon things we cannot see and are hard to measure. However, this nebulous commodity has the power to float or sink any vision. This episode (37) of Moment for Mission, I consider “Inward Mission.”
M4M Episode 36
Have you ever noticed people that are really driven towards a goal? It seems they are able to focus on what they want to accomplish and often achieve amazing results. Today on Moment for Mission we are going to ask ourselves this question: “Are You ON Mission?”

M4M Episode 35 Summary
What do you do when you are moving along or at least getting started on your personal our organizational mission and… all of the sudden there is an unexpected turn of events that stops you dead in your tracks? Today on Moment for Mission, I am considering the topic—“When You Mission is Unexpectedly Disrupted.”

Summary Episode 33
The powerful forces of social media, news, and popular opinion can easily overwhelm us and cause us to drift far from our mission and vision. We are continuing our thoughts about things that can hinder us in our pursuits. So, today on Moment for Mission, I am considering this topic: “Going with the Flow” Can Be Detrimental to Your Mission.”

Summary Episode 32
Today on Moment for Mission, we are continuing our consideration of things that can be detrimental to our or our organization’s mission.
Have you ever been in a situation or a meeting when someone either by what they say, what they do, or how the attitude they exhibit simply ruins the experience or shuts down the flow of ideas and communication, or sows discord, discouragement, and division? I call these type of folks, “poison people” and today I want us to think about how “Poison People are detrimental to Our Mission.”
Today on Moment for Mission, we are continuing with our discussion on things that might be Detrimental to your or your organization’s mission. And the topic is “Self-Centeredness is Detrimental to Your Mission.”
M4M Podcast Episode 30 Summary
In the next several episodes of Moment for Mission, I am considering things that can be detrimental to our mission. Last week I considered how "Busyness Is Detrimental to Your Mission." Today we are considering another possible hinderance. Back in Episode 26, which I titled “Interruptions as Opportunities for your Mission,” I spoke of how many times those things that seem like intrusions can actually be helpful to our mission. Now today, I want to look at the other side of that coin and consider how “Distractions can be Detrimental to Your Mission.”
M4M Episode 29
In the next several episodes of Moment for Mission, I am going to consider things that can be detrimental to our mission. Today’s topic: “Busyness is Detrimental To Your Mission”
Podcast Episode 28 Summary
In M4M episode 28, I review the classic art instruction book, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Dr. Betty Edwards.
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode, you will hear how I think we should consciously and deliberately practice "MISSION on the right side of the brain."
Quotable and Notable
Edwards challenges us with this thought--
"Creativity is the ability to find new solutions to a problem or new modes of expression; thus it brings into existence something new to the individual and to the culture."

Podcast Episode 23 Summary
In M4M episode 23, of Moment for Mission, I talk about a concept I call, “TEAM BASED MISSION.”
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode 23, you may glean some helpful and encouraging ideas about how a shift from “I” thinking to “WE” thinking can benefit your or your organization’s mission.
Quotable and Notable
“Team Based Missions is the methodology and program involving specially selected and trained advisors who, along with a team leader, implement a missionally driven program with the goals of cultivating an understanding of, a commitment to and the achievement of the overall mission and vision of the endeavor.”
Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M Episode 23
“Great organizations demand a high level of commitment by the people involved. Eliminate politics, by giving everybody the same message. Keep a flat organization in which all issues are discussed openly. Empower teams to do their own things.”
Bill Gates
The Bible writer of Ecclesiates (4:9-12) wrote:
Two are better than one, because they have good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and fall and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? And though one might prevail against another, two will withstand one A threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Podcast Episode 22 Summary
In M4M episode 22, I took a look at our second WORLD CHANGER and offered a profile on a person that was enormously influential in my life, Shorter T. Strang, Sr., my late father.
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode, you will hear about a wonderful man whose mission in life was simply… to make a difference. And, you may be inspired by his life of simplicity and humility that truly made a impact on those around him and beyond.
Quotable and Notable
While not original to my father, he used to remind me often
“Do the best you can, with what you have, where you are.”
“There are very, very few of us who will become famous, have the chance to impact millions of lives with the stroke of a pen, or have our lives chronicled in the annals of history. BUT, we all, each and every one of us can make a REAL, substantive, long-lasting difference in the lives of those around us and even beyond.”

Podcast Episode 20 Summary
In M4M episode, I look at the idea of "Living Your Mission.
Quotable and Notable
When our mission becomes part of ourselves, a part of our “living,” then, we start to embody our values and vision so that they are visible and viable in most every aspect of our lives. Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M Ep 20
Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, author of the huge bestseller When Bad Things Happen To Good People wrote, “You don’t become happy by pursuing happiness. You become happy by living a life that means something.”
Some questions I consider when aligning my mission and my living, when developing, adjusting, the mission for myself, my company, the organization I serve, my mission-service work are:
Is what I am seeking morally sound?
Is the Mission for myself or my organization JUST?
Does it exhibit mercy?
Is equality a part of this vision I / we have?
Does this Mission benefit others in meaningful manner?

Podcast Episode 18 Summary
In M4M episode 18, look at “Excellence in Mission” – Is excellence a forgotten commodity?
If you take time to listen to episode, you may be inspired and encouraged towards excellence as you pursue your life-mission.
Quotable and Notable
If we are truly committed to our mission, then we should want it to be the absolute best it can be! Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M Episode 18
Robert Baden-Powell: “The Scout Motto is: BE PREPARED which means you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your DUTY.”
Maya Angelou writes, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.”
The writer of Ecclesiastes in the Bible says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might;” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
Philosopher John Gardner wrote: The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

Podcast Episode 17 Summary
In M4M episode # 17, I address the dilemma we may face at some point, what to do “When Your Mission is REALLY Big?”
Quotable and Notable
Take a BIG task, vision, goal, and BREAK IT DOWN into smaller, more manageable, more achievable bits. “ Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M Ep 17
Daddy used to tell me:
“If you have to swallow a frog, it is best not to look at him too long.
If you have to swallow a lot of frogs, you’d better swallow the biggest on first.”
US President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important, and the important are never urgent.”

Podcast Episode 16 Summary
In M4M episode 16, I take a look at the topic of “Accomplishing Your Mission.”
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode, you may gain insight into some helpful ideas and suggestions surrounding how you can be about the business of “Accomplishing Your Mission.”
Quotable and Notable
American humorist, Mark Twain remarked,
“There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.”
16th President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln wrote,
“You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.”
Andrew Carnegie, Scottish-American industrialist, steel magnate, and philanthropist, wrote, “If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.
Philippians 3:14, “Putting all else behind, I press on towards the mark, the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

Podcast Episode 15 Summary
In M4M episode 15, I take a look at the topic, “Persistence in Mission.”
If you listen to episode you will hear some of my thoughts about why is it important to ‘hang in there’ and How do we manage to do it?
Quotable and Notable
Albert Einstein wrote, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States, wrote:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
Galatians 6:9 “Do not grow weary in doing what is right for we will reap at harvest time, as long as we do not give up.”
“I do not have to all-of-the-sudden, TODAY, right now… do some great and marvelous thing! My missional journey is made up of many, many small steps. And, I think yours is as well.” Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M Episode 15
“Many little people in many small places undertaking many modest actions can transform the world.” African Proverb
Hellen Keller wrote, “I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”

Podcast Episode 14 Summary
In M4M episode 14, we have our first Moment for Mission Book Review!
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode 14, I am going to give you a snapshot of an interesting foray on the subject— The book is Life on Purpose by Victor Strecher.
Victor Strecher works in Public Health at the University of Michigan. In 2010, after living with a rare cardiac illness for years, his 19-year-old daughter succumbed to a sudden heart attack. In his book, Life on Purpose, Strecher recounts how dealing with a chronically ill child and her eventual death changed his perspective on life and how he was to engage it. Reading this book you will find a mash-up of personal reflection, uplifting stories, and reports of recent science on the topic of ‘purpose’ that has emerged in recent years.

https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/8pnfnz/Cecily_w_Maasai_School_Children.jpg
“The dynamic process of aligning yourself with your life purpose requires energy and willpower: wind in your sails to move you forward, and a strong rudder to prevent being blown off course.” Victor Strecher, Life On Purpose
Strecher concludes, “If I were you, I wouldn’t wait around for more research. I’d just get a purpose.” “The scientific evidence supporting the benefits of one is extremely promising, and, at the risk of sounding a bit alarmist, we need it.”
In so much of living a life-on-purpose, we must constantly be about the business of translating the KNOWING what to do into the DOING what we know!

Podcast Episode 13 Summary

“What is NOT your mission?
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode 13, I will tell you some of the “why” I think it would be important to consider, “What is NOT your mission?”
Quotable and Notable
Engineer, Author, Designer, Inventor, and Futurist, Buckminster Fuller wrote,
“The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it’s really a different kind of life.”
“Ask yourself, How badly do I want my mission to be achieved? If it is not bad enough to say “NO” to some things in order realize your vision, then maybe it is your mission that needs review, rather than the ‘what is NOT your mission.’”

Podcast Episode 12 Summary
In M4M episode 12, we consider why and how we might incorporate others in our Mission.

Quotable and Notable
Fred Foy and Maasai Children Near Kimana, Kenya
Rev. Dr. Fred Foy Strang speaking with Maasai children, Kimana region, Kenya
(Yes, that is our cool Land Rover in the background!)
“When members of a community understand life as a response to a large and generous world, created by a great and merciful Providence, will the possibilities of life together become more fully realized. (P 196). … But with this spirit of vocation, this conviction that we are not, after all, our own, but belong to Another, the world opens up, becomes a place for others, and is illuminated by a spreading and abiding hope.” (196) A.J Conyers in The Listening Heart: Vocation and the Crisis of Modern Culture.
In order for our mission to have broader impact, and sometimes in order for it to be able to be achieved at all, we must involve other people. Here are a few points to consider today:
- Present our mission with passion;
- Invite others to join us in the journey;
- Involve people as genuine partners in the mission;
- Console one another when setbacks come;
- Celebrate together successes along the way;
- Don't ever worry about who gets the credit;
Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M, Episode 12
Mahatma Gandhi said this: “A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of human history.”

Podcast Episode 10 Summary
In M4M episode 10, I am profiling our first “World Changer”—Amy Carmichael.
If you give 10 minutes to listen to episode 10, you will learn about an amazing woman who pursued her mission through many difficulties and discouragements and made a real difference in the world of her day and continues to inspire others even today.
Quotable and Notable
“Let us not be surprised when we have to face difficulties. When the wind blows hard on a tree, the roots stretch and grow the stronger, Let it be so with us. Let us not be weaklings, yielding to every wind that blows, but strong in spirit to resist.”
Amy Carmichael (1955). “Edges of His Ways: Daily Devotional Notes”, p.30, CLC Publications
It is not the place where we are, or the work that we do or cannot do that matters, it is something else. It is the fire within that burns and shines, whatever be our circumstances.
Amy Carmichael (1955). “Edges of His Ways: Daily Devotional Notes”, p.218, CLC Publications.
Amy Carmichael echoed this thought when she wrote:
Let nothing be said about anyone unless it passes through the three sieves:
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Podcast Episode 9 Summary
In M4M episode 9, I discuss the importance of communication in our pursuit and accomplishment of mission.
In listening to episode 9, you will hear the importance of “Communicating Your Mission.” And, by the conclusion, I hope you will have a bit more confidence to positively present Your Mission, your Vision for yourself or your organization to others.
Quotable and Notable
As we realize movement, change, advance, setback and then success, it would be of enormous value to communicate that with others. Communicating our mission is paramount to its success.
If you are leading an organization, or church, or school, you have to work diligently to keep the mission before your people. People have short memories and are easily distracted—weekly reminders of our corporate mission are not only appropriate, but much needed.
If you are pursuing you personal life-mission, you must discipline yourself to communicate both your struggles and your success with a confidant or a group of trusted folks. These trusted friends will empathize with you, encourage you, advise you, challenge you so that you can keep on the course of your mission. And, if you are like me—and I bet you are, I have a short memory and I am easily distracted!

Podcast Episode 7 Summary
In M4M episode 7, my topic is “Mission--Vision--Vocare”.
If you give 10 minutes of you time to listen to episode 7, you will begin to see how an informed understanding of “vocation” can inspire us in our Mission and focus our vision to press on.
Quotable and Notable
“A vocation is something that goes deeper than economy; it embraces the whole of our being. Doing something we love, something we feel we were made to do, ‘called’ to do, something that give us and others life, something that draws us together as community rather than pushing us apart with violence enacted from our unabashed demand for freedom of choice— these ideas begins to get at the essence of ‘vocare’.”
Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M Episode 7
Steve Jobs – Founder of Apple Computer spoke these words to students at Stanford University, in 2005: “You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”
The Latin word 'vocare' or vocation is significant as we consider our individual and corporate Mission-- this word means responding to a 'calling' or 'direction /directive' to invest in something significant. When I can put aside my 'career' aspirations which essentially get nowhere, and focus on listening to a 'call' from a Higher Power to some task, quest, or meaningful use of my gifts and talents for the betterment of others and this world then I am much more content. I think Frederich Buechner said it well "The place where your deepest passion and the world's deepest need meet is the place you will find your calling fro God and the most fulfillment in life" (paraphrase).

Podcast Episode 5 Summary
In M4M episode 5, we have a special treat as I am interviewing a good friend in East Africa, Benjamin Turarri. Recently, Benjamin discussed with me what he calls his “Vision.” He has some helpful perspective for our discussion on Moment for Mission.
If you give 10 minutes to listen Episode 5, you will hear a determined man share how he is overcoming many hurdles to begin realizing his mission and vision. I think you will find his story inspiring and the ‘on location’ recording is just fun!
Quotable and Notable
I summarize 6 important ‘take-aways’ from my interview with Benjamin:
- Moment for Mission 1: Do what you know, are good at, and enjoy.
- Moment for Mission 2: Don't grow weary; accomplishing our Mission will take time.
- Moment for Mission 3: It is OK to start small. The important thing is to start.
- Moment for Mission 4: “But People…” there will always be naysayers and criticizers. Don’t listen to them or be beat down by their negativity. Press on!
- Moment for Mission 5: When opportunities come, take a risk, step out in faith, be excited the chance to augment your mission.
- Moment for Mission 6: As we pursue our mission, take every chance to help others along the way.

Podcast Episode 4 Summary
In M4M episode 4, “Developing Your Mission,” I discuss the concept of “Developing Your Mission” -- In a past episode, I said--
The first step to being a person or organization ‘on mission’ is simply to have a mission!
So, here in episode 4, I begin to think about the question, “How do I get a “mission?”
If you spend 10 minutes to listen to Episode 4, then you will hear some of the things you need to consider in order to “Develop Your Mission.”
As you will hear, there are many factors to consider when you are “Developing Your Mission.”
- It takes wisdom and discernment.
- It takes carving out adequate time for careful thought.
- It takes the discipline of writing down ideas, editing, revising.
- It takes advice and vetting with trusted friends and colleagues.
Quotable and Notable
A MISSION is a deep, broad, encompassing, significant undertaking.
Dr. Fred Foy Strang, M4M, Episode 4
It is important of have the end in mind AND to realize there is a process to getting there.

Cardiologist Randy Cohen, MD, medical director of University Medical Practice Associates at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City. “Reviewing data from ten studies involving 136,000 men and women, Dr. Cohen and his colleagues found that people with a low sense of purpose, as measured by psychological surveys, were more likely to have a stroke, heart attack, or coronary artery disease requiring a stent or bypass surgery. Individuals with a high sense of purpose had a lower risk of developing the same conditions. “

Podcast Episode 2 Summary
In M4M episode 2, we explore some thoughts surrounding the question,
“What is Your Mission?”
In Episode 1, I stated that “direction is important.”
If you listen to this Episode 2, then you will begin to be equipped to genuinely ask, “Do I know where I am heading?” and have a few tools to help you answer.
Getting up to go to work to make some money to buy some stuff to go home to go to sleep to get up to go to work to make some money to buy some stuff to go home to go to sleep… is NOT a life pattern that makes one fulfilled nor does it help other much.
Quotable and Notable
Some writers help us to try to remember the important things.
Theologian, Frederick Buechner, wrote-
“Vocation comes from the Latin vocare, to call, and means the work a man is called to by God. There are all different kinds of voices calling you to all different kinds of work, and the problem is to find out which is the voice of God rather than of Society, say, or the Super-ego, or Self-interest… Neither the hair shirt nor the soft berth will do. The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
