The Daisy Change Method - Clarity

I've given this a lot of thought and prayer. I've decided to take you through the Daisy Change Method which is our signature art of change management program, here in this blog. 


As the year comes to a close, you may be thinking about the year ahead. Starting to plan for what's coming and think about what you want in life. December is often a month of reflection. 

With that in mind let's get started on our art of change management process. 

First we need to get really clear on what we want and where we are going. 

Here are 12 questions to answer for yourself as the year closes. 

1. What have I learnt over the last year? 
2. How have I growen over the last year? 
3. What would I change about the last year? 
4. Who do I think I am now? 
5. What needs to change over the coming year? 
6. What creative solutions can I see for the changes needed in the coming year? 
7. How am I going to go about implementing this change? 
8. What are my skill gaps? 
9. How can I fill those gaps this coming year? 
10. What am I committed to this coming year?
11. What hurts? 
12. How can I heal? 

These questions are designed to help you get really clear on where you are , where you have been and where you are going. 

If you were sat in a mentoring session with me, I'd walk you through these questions one by one over a few sessions. There's a lot here and so we have to remember it's not a race, we can work at our own pace. 

Journal the answers to these questions down by hand if you can. They will really help you gain clarity on your current state. 

If you need help feel free to email me on my personal contact.

A Crash Course In Christianity

Today we are going to have a crash course in Christianity 

Why do this? Because apparently my audience want it. 

You're welcome. 

A Crash Course in Christianity: What You Need to Know

Christianity is one of the world’s largest religions, with over 2 billion followers across the globe. Whether you’re curious about its teachings or want a refresher, this crash course will walk you through the essentials of Christianity, explained from a Christian perspective.

---

What Is Christianity?

At its core, Christianity is a faith centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians believe in one God who reveals Himself as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—this is known as the Trinity.

The Bible, Christianity’s sacred text, is divided into two parts:

1. The Old Testament – The Hebrew Scriptures, telling the story of creation, the fall of humanity, and God’s covenant with Israel.

2. The New Testament – The story of Jesus Christ, His teachings, and the growth of the early Church.

The Story of Christianity

Creation and the Fall

Christianity begins with the belief that God created the world and declared it good. However, humanity chose to rebel against God (this event is called “The Fall”), introducing sin and brokenness into the world.

God’s Plan for Redemption

The Old Testament outlines God’s plan to rescue humanity through a chosen people, Israel, and the promise of a Messiah—a Savior who would restore humanity’s relationship with God.

The Life of Jesus Christ

1. Birth: Christians believe Jesus is God in human form, born to the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit.

2. Ministry: Jesus taught about God’s Kingdom, performed miracles, and called people to repentance and faith.

3. Death and Resurrection: Jesus was crucified, taking the punishment for sin upon Himself. Three days later, He rose from the dead, demonstrating His victory over sin and death.

The Early Church

After Jesus ascended into heaven, His followers, known as Apostles, spread the message of salvation. Despite persecution, the early Church grew rapidly, fueled by the belief that Jesus was alive and working through His people.

---

Key Beliefs of Christianity

The Trinity

Christians believe in one God who exists as three persons:

God the Father (Creator),

God the Son (Jesus, the Savior), and

God the Holy Spirit (the guide and sustainer of faith).

Salvation by Grace

A cornerstone of Christian faith is that salvation is a gift from God. Humans cannot earn it through good works; it’s freely given through Jesus’ sacrifice.

The Church

The Church is not just a building—it’s the global community of believers. It serves as a place for worship, teaching, and mutual support.

The Sacraments

Many Christian traditions observe sacraments, sacred rituals like:

Baptism: Symbolizing a new life in Christ.

Communion (Eucharist): Remembering Jesus’ sacrifice through bread and wine.

---

How Christians Live Out Their Faith

Worship

Worship is central to Christianity, including practices like prayer, singing, and reading the Bible.

Living a Moral Life

Jesus taught His followers to love God and love others. Christians strive to live by these principles, guided by teachings such as:

The Ten Commandments.

The Sermon on the Mount.

Sharing the Gospel

Many Christians see it as their mission to share the message of Jesus with others and serve those in need.

---

The Big Picture: Christian Denominations

While all Christians share the same foundational beliefs, there are different branches within Christianity, including:

Catholicism: Emphasizes tradition, the sacraments, and the Pope’s authority.

Protestantism: Focuses on Scripture alone as the ultimate authority.

Orthodoxy: Known for its rich liturgical tradition and emphasis on mystical worship.

---

The Christian Hope

The Return of Christ

Christians believe Jesus will return to judge the world and establish a renewed creation.

Eternal Life

The ultimate hope of Christianity is eternal life with God—a promise for all who trust in Jesus.

---

Final Thoughts

Christianity is a faith built on the love of God and His desire to redeem humanity. Its message is simple yet profound: God offers salvation to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ.

If this sparks your curiosity, consider exploring further by reading the Bible, praying, or connecting with a local Christian community. The journey is worth it.

A Christmas Stripped back

A Christmas stripped back.
For many of you Christmas is not a easy thing to celebrate. You're in hiding and there for unable to do the festive dance of Christmas without serious risk.

I want to be sensitive to that audience but at the same time acknowledge the holiday for those of you who do celebrate it. 

Happy holidays to one and all reading this right now. 

To those of you for one reason or another who are crystal ops right now. Well done for holding your position when all about you is tempting to break cover. You can do this. 

You have what it takes to be strong in the face of weakness. When you feel that strength is gone remember God can carry you if you ask Him. Your situation may not change but He will be your strength to get through it if you ask Him. 

Praying for you, 

Stay savvy sweetie love Hayley

From Polished to Persecuted - Our new direction

 Having reviewed my stats I can see that most of you following this blog are not OG.

So when I refer back to posts I've done, its your first time reading them.

This is freeing because it means I can move on from the last era of blogging and bring you fresh new content that is designed for the audience I now have. 

This blog aims to serve, we have had several topic shifts in the past and im happy to shift again.

What I need to know is what do you want? 

I'm looking at my audience and I have some idea of what you need but to do this im going to have to shift again.

See, most of you live in eastern countries and I am a westerner. I can and have written content for the east but im very aware that you need different things then we do in the west. 

In order to serve the audience I now have, I think we need to take things back to where Daisy Change originally started , mental health and faith, Christian faith. 

Not the shiny packaged faith of contempery christianity, but the grittier real soulwrenching faith that is going to get you through what you are facing.

I know that most of you reading this are in a situation where you don't have the luxury of being out and proud about your faith in Jesus. You are facing some very real dangers.

I want to be sensitive to that audience, so from now on we build you up so you can face the day. 

To the persecuted church reading this, thank you for trusting me. I will work hard to ensure the posts going forward are sensitive to your needs. 

To any westerners reading this, the content will still be for you, but with that sensitive slant on it for our persecuted brothers and sisters in eastern countries.

We're going back to authentic faith.

Let's go!

The Gospel of Jesus Christ for Iran

A Message of Hope and Love: The Gospel of Jesus Christ for Iran

Dear friends,

We come with a message of hope and love, rooted in the eternal truths of God. It is a message that transcends borders, languages, and cultures—a message of peace and salvation through Jesus Christ.

God's Love for All People

The Bible teaches us that God created the world and everything in it, including each of us. He knows you personally and loves you deeply. The Scriptures say, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). This love is for everyone—every nation, every tribe, and every individual.

Our Need for God

Each of us has sinned and fallen short of God's perfect standard. Sin separates us from God, but He does not leave us without hope. He desires a relationship with you and has made a way to reconcile us to Himself.

The Good News: Jesus Christ

Two thousand years ago, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world. Born of a virgin, Jesus lived a sinless life, teaching love, forgiveness, and truth. He willingly gave His life on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. On the third day, He rose from the dead, defeating death and proving His power to save.

The Bible promises, "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9). This salvation is not something we earn; it is a gift from God, received through faith.

What This Means for You

Jesus invites you into a personal relationship with Him. He offers peace for your heart, forgiveness for your sins, and eternal life in His presence. As you trust in Him, He will guide you and fill your life with purpose and joy.

Iran has a rich spiritual heritage, and God’s hand is at work among its people. Today, you can be part of His unfolding plan. Will you open your heart to Jesus?

A Simple Prayer to Begin

If you want to invite Jesus into your life, you can pray this prayer:

Lord Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God. I believe You died on the cross for my sins and rose again to give me new life. Please forgive me for all my sins. I invite You into my heart. Be my Savior, my Lord, and my guide. I choose to follow You. Thank You for Your love and grace. Amen.

A New Journey

If you prayed that prayer, know that you are now part of God’s family. He promises to be with you always. We encourage you to read the Bible, seek fellowship with other believers, and grow in your faith.

God is calling His people in Iran to be a light in the darkness, sharing His love and truth with the world. May you find peace, hope, and life in Jesus Christ.

With love in Christ,

Your brothers and sisters in faith

How To Honer The Ultimate Ancestor

A Message of Hope: The Gospel for a Japanese Audience

In Japan, the beauty of nature, the values of harmony and respect, and the deep longing for peace and purpose reflect something profound about the human heart. These qualities point to a greater reality—a Creator who made us and everything around us with love and purpose.

This Creator, whom the Bible calls God the ultimate ancestor, is the source of all life. From the beginning, God made us to live in a close relationship with Him, experiencing His peace (what Christians call shalom) and joy. However, we see that the world is filled with suffering, conflict, and emptiness. This separation is because of something called sin—our tendency to live apart from God's ways and design.

In the Bible, God reveals His love for all people, including the Japanese people. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to restore what was broken. Jesus lived a perfect life, full of compassion, wisdom, and power. He healed the sick, welcomed the outcast, and taught about God's Kingdom—a kingdom where justice, love, and peace reign.

But the greatest act of love came when Jesus willingly gave His life on the cross. He died to take the punishment for our sins, so that we could be forgiven and made whole. His sacrifice was not the end of the story—Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death itself. Through His resurrection, He offers eternal life to anyone who believes in Him.

What does this mean for you?

Forgiveness: No matter what your past holds, God offers forgiveness through Jesus.

Purpose: Your life has meaning because God created you uniquely, with a role to play in His plan.

Hope: Even in the face of life's struggles, Jesus promises to be with us and lead us to eternal peace.

Becoming a follower of Jesus is not about abandoning your culture or traditions. Instead, it is about letting God bring His light and love into your life, transforming everything from the inside out. Just as a cherry blossom tree blooms in season, God desires for your life to flourish in a new and eternal way.

If this message speaks to your heart, you can respond by turning to God in prayer.

> A Simple Prayer

"God, I want to know You. Thank You for loving me and sending Jesus to save me. I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness. I choose to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him. Please guide me in this new life. Amen."

This is the beginning of a journey. God invites you to walk with Him daily, learn more about His Word, and find encouragement through others who follow Jesus.

The Gospel is good news for all nations, including Japan, and it is an invitation to the life of peace, purpose, and hope that only God can give.
