Who is Jehovah Shaphat?Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as Jehovah Shaphat—The LORD, our Judge. His judgments are never corrupt, biased, or unjust. He judges with perfect righteousness, truth, mercy, and holiness. In a world where opinions constantly change and people are quick to condemn, God's judgment remains eternal and perfectly just.In this powerful message, we journey from the Old Testament to the New Testament to discover that Jesus Christ has been given all authority to judge the living and the dead. More importantly, we learn how believers are called to respond—not by living in fear, but in humility, repentance, and obedience.This sermon explores what it means to stand before the judgment seat of Christ, why every person will give an account of their life, and how the gospel transforms us from people who judge others harshly into people who restore others with grace. As followers of Jesus, we are called to remove the log from our own eye before addressing the speck in another's, remembering that the same mercy we have received should flow through our lives.If you've ever wrestled with questions about God's justice, eternal judgment, accountability, or what it means to live a life that honors Christ, this message will encourage, challenge, and strengthen your faith.Key Scriptures:• Judges 10:16• Judges 11:27• Genesis 18:25• Psalm 96:13• John 5:22-30• Romans 14:10• 2 Corinthians 5:10• Revelation 20:11-15• Matthew 7:1-5• Psalm 25:9• Galatians 6:1-3If this message encouraged you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Share so more people can encounter the truth of God's Word.Join us every week at Faith Chapel San Diego as we pursue Jesus, cultivate a culture like Christ, and experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Alex adds that most ultra-successful entrepreneurs wish they cared about the simple things.00:20:47Q: What is the Freedom Framework for founders?A: Jill Monaco presents her model: event, thought, emotion, belief, action. Every action comes from what you truly believe about yourself.00:26:45Q: Can you actually rewire your brain to break limiting beliefs?A: Jill Monaco uses the cornfield analogy. The old neural pathway is worn smooth, but carving a new path through consistency lets the old one grow over. Neuroplasticity is measurable.00:30:41Q: Why is listening more powerful than giving advice?A: Jill Monaco explains that people remember how you made them feel, not what you said. Alex tested this with clients and found deeper results.Subscribe so you never miss an episode of Founder Talk.

Church discipline is one of the most neglected—and misunderstood—teachings in modern Christianity. But what if avoiding it is actually harming the church?In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing walks through the biblical case for church discipline and why it has always been considered essential to a healthy church. Drawing from Scripture and the Reformers, this teaching revisits the three historic marks of a true church—and the one many churches quietly ignore. You'll see how church discipline is not about control or punishment, but about love, restoration, and faithfulness to Christ.This episode covers:• What church discipline actually is (and isn't)• Why so many churches avoid it today• The three marks of a true church• How discipline protects both the sinner and the churchKey passages: Matthew 16 & 18 Acts 5 (Ananias and Sapphira) 1 Corinthians 5 Revelation 2–3If you've struggled with this topic—or seen it misused—this episode brings clarity rooted in Scripture and hope grounded in the gospel.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Most founders think they're covered legally. They're not. Ana Casanueva, Founder of Casanueva Law PLLC, reveals the legal mistakes that will cost you money, deals, and peace of mind.Whether you're relying on handshake deals, using AI to draft contracts, or thinking about selling your business someday, this conversation breaks down what every founder needs to know to protect themselves and grow smarter.Key takeaways:00:00:00 Introduction00:03:52Q: Why do most founders skip contracts and rely on handshakes?A: Ana Casanueva explains that the friendly handshake doesn't survive growth. AI-generated contracts from ChatGPT look like term sheets but lack the legal clauses that protect you.00:06:30Q: What documents should you send to every new client?A: Ana Casanueva recommends a Master Services Agreement plus supporting documents like statements of work under that umbrella agreement.00:13:53Q: What will a buyer look for when purchasing your business?A: Ana Casanueva explains that buyers do due diligence on corporate governance, client agreements, vendor agreements, and accounting to determine how much to offer.00:25:35Q: Should you convert your LLC to a corporation before selling?A: Ana Casanueva shares that converting makes M&A deals easier because buyers prefer shares, which offer more flexibility in deal structure and equity.00:27:32Q: Can you have an LLC taxed as a C corp?A: Ana Casanueva explains that business structure and tax treatment are two different things. You can be an LLC and be taxed as a C corp.00:36:18Q: Can AI replace lawyers?A: Ana Casanueva says no. Lawyers are sometimes like therapists. Founders need human trust and accountability that AI cannot provide.Subscribe to Founder Talk so you don't miss what's next.

In this episode of Founder Talk, Alex Sheridan sits down with Adam Hodge, founder of Farr and Swit, to unpack how a microbrand watch company grew in a saturated market by competing on identity, nostalgia, and meaning instead of pure utility.Key Takeaways:00:00:00 Introduction00:06:30 Why do people still buy watches when phones and smartwatches already tell time?Answer: Adam argues the best watches are not about utility alone; they signal identity, create conversation, and become “magnets for memory.”00:09:15 Can a premium brand launch cheaper products without damaging its positioning?Answer: Adam says it can work when the lower-priced line has a clear role, distinct design language, and still reinforces the broader brand mission.00:17:55 What makes an affordable product feel differentiated instead of generic?Answer: Design originality, emotional resonance, and a strong story can make even a low-cost product feel memorable rather than commoditized.00:24:30 How can founders use scarcity without faking demand?Answer: Limited runs, waitlists, and real stock constraints can validate interest, increase urgency, and reveal whether the market truly wants the offer.00:31:25 What do founders misunderstand about brand?Answer: Many treat brand like decoration instead of building it around a real differentiator, customer outcome, and consistent experience.00:41:45 Does brand story actually matter for conversion?Answer: Yes, when the story connects to the customer's mission, it gives the brand a point of view and makes the buyer feel part of something bigger.00:49:30 How does a founder build a business that runs without becoming the bottleneck?Answer: Adam shares that better inventory systems, support operators, and stronger financial oversight are the next steps to free him up for design, sales, and brand building.Watch the full episode and subscribe for more authentic founder interviews, and go watch Joe Barron's guesting on the Founder Talk here! https://youtu.be/ebMGuJaesns

Scott Barry Kaufman is a big inspiration to me in research and the human sciences. He is a humanistic psychologist, the creator of self-actualization coaching, and simply a refreshing person who brings a sense of “keeping it real” to the world of self-development.Scott is a professor of psychology at Columbia University, the director of the Center for Human Potential, and among the top 1% most-cited scientists in the world for his research on intelligence and creativity (= wow, the academic sisu this has required).He also hosts The Psychology Podcast. With over 25 million downloads, it's one of the leading psychology podcasts globally.Scott's foundation lies in humanistic psychology, which emphasizes the importance of meaning, wholeness, and the lived experience of being human. Rather than sinking into all sorts of neurosis over what the ego likes to label as “good–bad” or “right–wrong,” this perspective invites us to feel into all the complexity (and wonder) that comes with being human.We spoke about a wide range of topics, such as creativity, human potential, feeling like an impostor at times (and why it can actually be a good thing), his hopes and hesitations about the future, and what it means to be true to your heart.Last year, Scott published his 11th (!) book, Rise above! You can explore Scott's work and many valuable resources at scottbarrykaufman.com. I warmly recommend checking it out. The site is a treasure trove of insight.The conversation we had moved something in me, which I felt afterward. What I can make of it is that witnessing authenticity stirs us, brings us closer to our center and to each other. It feels grounded and safe, and we are indeed finely tuned to sense it.Especially in the context of a recorded conversation, where we tend to seek to perform and give “the right answers” (which is, of course, very human), it felt beautiful to witness such realness.The discussion brought back a thought my Aikido teacher once shared with me: “It's easy to be clever. It's much harder to be loving.”Thanks for listening and for being part of the sisu journey

Pursuing Your Purpose in 2026Pastor Kacy Benson | Bannockburn ChurchIn this message, Pastor Kacy Benson challenges us to begin the new year with clarity, intention, and spiritual focus by pursuing our God-given purpose. Rather than drifting into another year on autopilot, this sermon invites us to magnify God in every area of life—worship, relationship, service, mission, and eternity.Rooted in Scripture, this teaching reminds us that our lives are meant to point beyond ourselves. When we worship God fully, walk with Him daily, serve faithfully, and live with eternity in view, our lives begin to magnify what matters most.This message explores how we magnify God through:• Worshiping God with our whole lives, not just our words• Building a daily relationship with Him, not occasional visits• Serving others with the gifts God has entrusted to us• Representing Christ faithfully in everyday life• Living with an eternal perspective that shapes our prioritiesAs we look toward 2026, this sermon calls us to a deeper commitment—one that aligns our purpose with God's glory.Key Scriptures:Mark 12:29–30Psalm 34:3Ephesians 2:10Joshua 24:151 Peter 4:102 Corinthians 5:20John 14:1–3If you're seeking direction, renewal, or a fresh sense of purpose for the year ahead, this message offers a clear and biblical vision for living a life that magnifies God.Need prayer?

It's essential to recognize that faith in God is not only the foundation of our salvation, but it's also fundamental to our spiritual growth. It's easy to think that our faith is why God wipes away our sins, but after giving us a new start that we're on our own. In fact, it's natural to revert back from faith in God to faith in ourselves. But we're not called to live a "natural" life; we're called to a supernatural life! Scripture Used in Today's Message2 Peter 1:2-7Hebrews 11:7Galatians 3:2-3If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.CampusAmerica.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

I love huge trees.Full-grown oaks and sycamores are so majestic. And if you've never seen the giant redwoods in California, you must put this on your bucket list. These ancient trees project strength, stability, and perseverance. They didn't achieve their greatness overnight; these granddaddies were planted long ago and have endured acts of nature that would have taken out lesser trees. Needless to say, these stately trees inspire me. I hope someday people will say of me, "Tom was like a mighty oak -- an oak of righteousness!"I hope that will be said of you, too.Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessageIsaiah 61:3If you've not read my book, Takin' it to Their Turf. request a copy on my website, www.CampusAmerica.com.You'll be inspired, encouraged, and learn plenty about evangelism and spiritual warfare through the 70+ stories I share of my campus evangelism experiences.We send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email. Who do you know that needs to hear today's message? Go ahead and forward this to them, along with a prayer that God will use it in their life.To find Tom on Instagram, Facebook, TiKTok, and elsewhere, go to linktr.ee/tomthepreacher To support Tom Short Campus Ministries, click herehttps://www.tomthepreacher.com/support************ Do you want to have all your sins forgiven and know God personally? *********Check out my video "The Bridge Diagram" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Kjwrlind8&t=1sCheck out my website, www.CampusAmerica.com, to learn more about my ministry and sign up for my daily email.

Marriage has the power to bless deeply—and wound deeply. The closer the relationship, the sharper the sting when things go wrong. Words spoken in anger, seasons of silence, broken trust, or unmet expectations can leave scars that don't fade quickly. But here's the good news: God doesn't ignore those wounds—He heals them.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3If you're hurting in your marriage—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally—know this: God sees. He sees the tearful prayers you haven't told anyone about. He sees the aching silence. And He's not asking you to cover it up. He's asking you to bring it to Him.Healing isn't pretending it didn't hurt. It's choosing to bring your heart into the presence of the One who knows how to bind it gently.And yes—healing takes time. Just like a physical wound, emotional wounds need cleansing, care, and patience. Some might require conversation and counseling. Others might start with confession and forgiveness. But every healing journey begins with surrender.You don't heal by demanding your spouse fix you. You heal by letting God restore what's been torn. That might mean laying down bitterness. That might mean inviting accountability. That might mean trusting God again… even before your spouse changes.And if you're the one who caused the wound—don't harden your heart. Own it. Apologize with humility. Then let God shape you into someone who no longer wounds, but builds.God doesn't waste pain. And He never leaves wounds untreated. When you place your brokenness in His hands, He doesn't just patch it—He makes it stronger than before.Question of the Day:What wound have you been carrying in your marriage that God wants to begin healing today?Mini Call to Action:Take a quiet moment and write down what's been hurting. Invite God into it. If it's time, share it gently with your spouse.Let's Pray:Lord, You are the healer of broken hearts. We bring You every wound, every scar, and every pain. Bind us up with Your love. Teach us how to walk in forgiveness, restoration, and grace. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!God doesn't just heal what's broken—He redeems it for His glory.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.
