"Missed Opportunities, Part 2: Who Would You Be If You Were Paying Attention?"

You have a plan for almost everything. Do you have one for loving your neighbor?

In Part 2 of the "Missed Opportunities" mini-series, host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and his wingman Christy Mendelow pick up where they left off—and get practical. It is one thing to recognize a missed opportunity. It is another to figure out who you need to be so you stop missing them.

The conversation moves into the difference between what and who. Most of us focus on what we did wrong. But the deeper question is this: Who are we when we are not at our best—and who is Jesus calling us to be? If you are anchored to Him, your eyes open. If you take your eyes off Him, like Peter on the water, you start to sink.

Marines do not go outside the wire without a plan. They do not let the enemy choose their behavior. They act according to their mission, their commander's intent, and the values they serve. As a Christian, the mission is the same: love God, love your neighbor. The plan is what makes it possible.

Missed opportunities are not just failures. They are invitations to grow.

Listen in and find out what it looks like to show up with a plan—and become the person who does not walk past the need.
