Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy.\xa0Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1485 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged.\xa0This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today\u2019s trek.\xa0Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today.\xa0So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:
Today\u2019s quote is from \xa0Zig Ziglar, and it is: \xa0\xa0If people like you they'll listen to you, but if they trust you they'll do business with you.\xa0\xa0
Trust is Earned
If you desire for people to like you, then you need to be likable.\xa0In other words, you need to practice the golden rule Luke 6:31 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206%3A31&version=NLT) Do\xa0to\xa0others\xa0as you would like them to\xa0do\xa0to you.\xa0Once you do that, you will have their confidence to listen to what you have to say.\xa0That in itself is good, because if what you have to say is worthwhile, then a person will like you.\xa0Gaining someone's trust goes much deeper.\xa0If you wish to partner with someone, or do transact any business, you must be trustworthy.\xa0Trust cannot be demanded and should not be initially expected.\xa0Trust is earned over time, by keeping your word, your commitments, and loyalty.\xa0Trust must be earned over time, but can be lost in an instant if you prove yourself untrustworthy.\xa0So make sure all of your interactions with others are built on integrity, honesty, and truth.\xa0So like others and treat them right, and over time you will be considered trustworthy.
Here is a passage of what type of a person a church leader needs to be, but it also applies to all areas of life.

1 Timothy 3:1-5 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Timothy+3%3A1-5&version=NLT)
This is a trustworthy saying: \u201cIf someone aspires to be a church leader,\xa0he desires an honorable position.\u201d\xa0So a church leader must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife.\xa0He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach.\xa0He must not be a heavy drinker\xa0or be violent. He must be gentle, not quarrelsome, and not love money.\xa0He must manage his own family well, having children who respect and obey him.\xa0For if a man cannot manage his own household, how can he take care of God\u2019s church?
