Well, it finally happened a couple of weeks ago, the podcast received its first one star rating. Want to know what happened when I found out? I celebrated what you were happy about a one star reviews? Oh, well, yes. And let me explain why. Because a one star review and rating represented that the podcast finally broke the sound barrier for its regular intended audience. The irony of it all was it came from the conversation I had with my brother on how to have conversations about your faith with people that disagree with you. And someone disagreed with that, which resulted in the one star rating. But here's the thing, I was grateful that they listened and felt compelled to leave a rating at all. Because the goal of this podcast is to have meaningful conversations that build us, or at least challenge us. That's all good news. In my mind, the bad news is that it just wasn't for them. Well, I shouldn't say it's bad news. It's just a fact, I've learned a lot about how to handle criticism on social media, and the like, within this past year. But here's something that really changed my whole mindset. If someone writes a negative review, or says a nasty comment about me, if I let it hurt me, then I'm deciding I agree with what they said. And quite frankly, I don't agree with what they said. That's why I won't let it hurt me. If you don't agree with what someone says about you, then they have no leverage over you. And I completely disagree with that one star rating because I thought it was an incredible conversation. They're entitled to their opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. But at the end of the day, whatever you do, and whatever you create should be something that you enjoy, so that regardless of what other people think you did it because you loved it. And I can't take the wind out of my sails. What I believe is that trolls and commentary and negative reviews really have typically more to do with that person than it does with you. It's really all based upon how someone else receives it, which is out of your control anyways. So I've decided to release the pressure from myself and stop trying to control how other people's perceive what I create, because I love what I create. And that's why I continue to do it. So here's some encouragement for you. If you're finding yourself in a similar situation where someone said something bad about what you created, or you got a bad rating or something to that degree, it just wasn't for them. That's it, no harm, no foul, so grateful that they took the time to experience whatever it was that we created, but it just wasn't for them. But to that one star, writer, and reviewer, if you're listening to this, thank you, thank you for actually taking time out of your day, to listen to what I created and come to your own conclusions about how you experienced it. I'm grateful for you. And I'm grateful for every single one of you that continues to listen every week and rates and reviews the podcast because clearly it really does help. I wonder if this can be the year where we don't let other people determine our value and worth. If you're a Jesus follower, then you would know that Jesus would not get five star reviews across the board. He had some people that would give him a one star review because there were some people that just did not like what he was doing. Jesus wasn't deterred by it. He continued to go on mission day after day, Jesus did not stop. So we shouldn't either keep creating content that makes the world go round. Stop being afraid because of what very few people will say negatively about what you can potentially birth and bring in to this world. Guys. I love you so much. We'll talk next week. I'll see you then.
