Welcome to today's sermon podcast. In this episode, we explore the significance of recognizing and utilizing the unique gifts that God has bestowed upon each one of us. Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:3-8 and Ephesians 6:19, we delve into the story of Malcolm Mitchell and his unexpected journey to becoming an avid reader, highlighting the importance of hard work and dedication alongside natural talents. Join us as we discuss how everyone is a gift with a gift, equipped by God to serve and bless others. Through examining our spiritual gifts and understanding their divine origin, we are encouraged to use them diligently for the glory of God and the benefit of the community. Whether you're a long-time believer or new to the faith, this message aims to inspire you to discover and activate your God-given abilities. As we continue our series, "You Are Gifted for More," we invite you to evaluate your gifts, recognize their source, and commit to using them effectively. Let's embark on this journey together, seeking to fulfill God's plan for our lives and our congregation. Amen. ---- With Pastor Mike Curry Everyone Is a Gift with Gifts Romans 12:3–8 NLT   MAIN IDEA: Everyone is a gift with gifts.   GOD HAS GIVEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE DIFFERENT GIFTS…   It is wise to evaluate your gifts. (v. 3) Realize that different people have different gifts. (v. 4–5) Your gifts have a unique and specific function. (v. 6–8)   HOW DO WE RESPOND TO BEING GIVEN GIFTS:   Evaluate what gifts you have been given. (v. 3–5) Recognize where our gifts come from. (v. 6a) Use your unique gifts. (v.6b–8)   ACTION STEPS: Do a thorough evaluation of the gifts that you have. Combine this reflection with the results of your SHAPE Assessment and conversations with those closest to you. Recognize how your gifts can be best used in your life (among your family, vocation, community, church, etc.). Thank God for his benevolence in giving you gifts.

Advertising is an important part of marketing your law firm. Especially with the prevalence of Google Ads in this day and age, you must at least consider investing in ads. However, if you only have a certain amount of money budgeted for advertising, what is the best use of your funds? This is a question Mark and his team at GNGF get all the time. The typical answer is, “It depends on the firm.” However, one suggestion that gets brought up every time is local service ads. In this episode, we're doing a deep dive into local service ads. We'll discuss how to qualify for them and set them up as well as what you should be monitoring each month to maximize your ROI. Join us to learn it all and start spending your advertising dollars in the right place! Show Highlights: What local service ads are. The difference between traditional Google Ads and local service ads. Why local service ads are so beneficial for firms with smaller advertising budgets. How to set up your local service ad. How much these ads actually cost per lead. How local service ads are ranked and how to get your firm higher in the ranking. What you should be monitoring each month to maximize the ROI of your local service ads. Subscribe and Review We'd appreciate you subscribing to this podcast and leaving an Apple Podcasts review. Reviews help others discover and learn what Law Firm Next is all about. It only takes a second and helps us out a lot! Supporting Resources: nextlevel.legal ads.google.com/signup 4.gngf.com/nextlevel-LSA https://nextlevel.legal/episode/lfn006/ https://nextlevel.legal/episode/lfn016/ https://nextlevel.legal/episode/lfn015/ https://ads.google.com/localservices/signup https://google.com/business Action Steps: Do a few Google searches where you Google your practice area and geography area or even just “Practice Area Near Me” or “Divorce Attorney Near Me.” See if Local Service Ads are coming up in your market. On the desktop, there will typically be three ads showing a law firm partner's image, the number of reviews, and stars. If you hover over it, you will see that they are usually “Google Screened.” If so, you can likely have your firm there in that valuable ad space and only have to pay if someone calls the firm. Go through the process to be approved and verified for the Google Screened badge even if you decide to set a very low budget or immediately pause the ads after they start running.  Be sure your Google Business Profile and Reviews are in stellar shape. If you need a refresher, go back to episode 14 and episode 16 where we cover Google Business Profiles and Online Reviews. Make sure you have the processes in place to follow up with leads quickly. A 24/7 outsourced call service like Smith.ai or AbbyConnect could be a wise investment as the internet is a 24/7 world.  *** Episode Credits If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

Have you ever wondered about what could be the real reasons why we're sick, tired, and overweight? It's a fully-loaded episode with Dr. Stephen Cabral as he talks about the real reasons why we're unhealthy and what we can do about it. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode176. Topics Discussed in This Episode: The real reasons why we're sick, tired, and overweight, and what we can do about it Environmental toxins and how we can remove and reduce them from our body and our environment The power of intermittent fasting What we need to be conscious of when doing intermittent fasting in regards to our hormonal health, thyroid, and adrenals  Ayurveda and how it can help to accelerate our health results   Key Takeaways: The two most common things that make people sick, tired, and unhealthy are gut imbalances and stress. Women are more exposed to toxins than men. The average woman is exposed to 126 different toxins before leaving their home in the morning, and half of those are carcinogenic. If something's off on your blood work, it means there's something wrong with your body. If you get bloated after eating, it's not the food's fault if it's healthy food. It's a digestive issue of too much candida, too many bacteria that are fermenting the food. You're not a static human being. The same meal eaten on a different day can have a different reaction in your body. Ayurveda is the oldest form of medicine in the world. It became the basis of all other forms of medicine. It literally translates to ‘the science of life', so it looks at an individual and their constitution.   Action Steps: Do a 7, 14, or 21-day functional medicine detox. Then, maintain your results by trying to not be exposed to as many toxins and eating cruciferous vegetables. Get blood work done. And if there's something off on your blood work, look at the root causes to see why it's off. Do intermittent fasting. Consider doing a one-day reset diet where you're doing daily nutritional support shakes every four hours.   Stephen said: “A functional medicine detox. Is a game-changer for most people… It's simply the best thing that we've seen work in our practice.”   “I believe that the closest thing we have to the fountain of youth is fasting… The very best time to not eat is at night, and you'll get tremendous health benefits from that.”   Thanks for listening!   Important Announcements: Check out our NEWEST program, The Adrenal Reset 28-Day Program.

Now that the majority of people are working from home, how does the idea of the digital commute come into play? Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: How the absence of a commute has affected people’s daily life and wellbeing The idea of the digital commute What my digital commute looks like Key Takeaways: A lot of people used the time they spent on a commute to decompress or to gear up and gear down for work. Beyond just getting to and from work, the time that people spent commuting was an opportunity for them to get their head together as well as decompress. The digital commute is people creating time for themselves to have the “commute” that they used to have by simulating their journey to work and use it as an opportunity to get some headspace and think and plan ahead. Action Steps: Do your own version of the digital commute. Do things that fit the DOSE principle: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins. Reverse the digital commute at the end of the day and do something to decompress, so when you walk back into the house, you feel like you’ve had a bit of distance between work and finishing. Leanne said: “Whatever you do, make sure it fits with this principle of DOSE… which is dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins. Something like human touch, human contact, produces lots of DOSE.” “Don’t wait for [your employer] to mention the digital commute. This is something you can carve out of your own time or just have the autonomy to carve out of the day.” If you want to register your interest in some of the ideas that I’m putting together with Bodyshot Performance, send an email to anne@bodyshotperformance.com.

What happens when you have high estrogen levels, and what can you do about it? If you want to learn more about estrogen dominance, this podcast is chock-full with the information that will help you avoid it or heal it, and inspire you to make that change to hormonal health! You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode09/ Topics Discussed in this Episode: What is estrogen dominance? What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance? What are some causes of estrogen dominance? What can we do to heal estrogen dominance? Key Takeaways: Estrogen dominance for women is the condition of having far too much estrogen in relation to other hormones, in particular, progesterone in the body. With the overexposure that we have to plastics, chemicals, environmental toxins, food toxins, and stress, there is a good chance that many people are dealing with estrogen dominance. One of the main reasons why there has been a noticeable rise in estrogen dominance among women is because the use of the birth control pill has become so popular. The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen you will make. And the more estrogen you make, the more fat you will store.   Action Steps: Do a DUTCH test or a saliva test to find out where your hormone levels are at. Limit your soy and coffee intake. Find a healthier alternative to the birth control pill. Avoid personal care products that contain xenoestrogens and other toxic chemicals. Filter your water and drink out of glass or stainless steel. Eat enough fiber and choose organic as much as possible. Dry brush. Ditch the plastic. Manage your stress. Take supplements that can help with estrogen dominance.   Samantha said: “The pill is really going to create the perfect storm for hormonal imbalances.” “It’s really important to support a healthy body weight and to support detoxification overall.”   Thanks for listening!

Empower by Example   Episode 5 - Michelle Walker, Founder  Walker Philanthropic Consulting www.walkerphilanthropic.com   Show Notes   Michelle spent 20 years working in the nonprofit sector before starting her own firm, Walker Philanthropic Consulting.  She has been instrumental in the founding and operation of The Rock Family Foundation, and her expertise and insights help to shape and guide our strategies and initiatives.  Michelle wants to help you fight the apathy that is rampant in our world.  She specializes in helping individuals participate in philanthropy in the ways that work best for your life.  And we are both happiest when we are challenging your preconceived notions about philanthropy!!   You can find Michelle Walker on social media on:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-walker-259661b/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/walkerphilanthropic   In this episode we talk about how long it took us to feel “good” including when we could take care of ourselves physically, emotionally and financially.  This question has been pinnacle in our conversation with funders, program officers and the lay community as we impress the importance of considering this personal inquiry when they consider the expectations we are putting on young people who are exiting state and county run systems.   We discuss how important it is to look at these populations needing assistance from an asset perspective instead  from the traditional deficit lens where we are only considering basic needs, which are vital, and not realizing that they need community connections and mentorship.  Connections to different ideas, careers, hobbies and education paths.  We typically freely give items that we have used, hand-me-downs and castoffs, but what would it look like to freely give away new, beautiful items?  If it is good enough for us, if we give ourselves the best we can, then why aren’t we doing this for others?   Action Steps: Do you have experience in the hospitality sector?  Would you be willing to have a phone call with young women who have exited foster care in Pittsburgh to speak with them about your industry?  Email us at rockfamilyfoundation@gmail.com and we will help to set it up.   Music by Buscrates (https://www.instagram.com/buscrates/?hl=de)

What’s the one thing you can do that’s going to help you lose weight? Well, that doesn’t exist. Losing weight doesn’t work that way. But if you want to learn some strategies that you can implement and to make better choices, you’ve come to the right podcast. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode76 Topics Discussed in this Episode: How you might be approaching weight loss in the wrong way Getting your mindset right when it comes to weight loss and going beyond the food Strategies to overcome night-time snacking The delayed gratification technique 3 key things to losing weight:   Key Takeaways: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to losing weight. It’s a combination of multiple things that makes weight loss successful. Night-time snacking is one of the reasons why people gain weight. Can diet supplements be helpful? Absolutely! But that doesn’t mean they’re a magic fix. 3 things that are key to losing weight: You need a plan to follow. You need accountability. You need a support network.   Action Steps: Do away with diet pills. They won’t get you anywhere. Anticipate the feelings that lead you to night-time snacking and come up with an activity that’ll interrupt that pattern. Implement the delayed gratification technique. Instead of getting up and grabbing the food that you’re craving for right away, take out your phone and set the timer for five minutes, and sit with that uncomfortable feeling. Create a clear and compelling vision for your future health. Declutter your space. You want to be in a space where you feel calm and confident. Find outlets that will help you deal with stress.   Samantha said: “When you can better yourself and show up more powerfully in your life, you will make better choices that are in alignment with the life that you truly want.” “You have to show up for yourself. You have to take action. You have to make yourself a priority. You have to invest in yourself. Sometimes that can be really scary but nothing changes if nothing changes.”   Thanks for listening!   Important Announcements: My podcast has been nominated for Podcast of the Year!!!

How can we use essential oils to balance our hormones and support ourselves throughout the day? Dr. Mariza Snyder is back in the podcast and we talk all about essential oils and hormones as well as supporting thyroid health. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode58 Topics Discussed in this Episode: How Dr. Mariza started her research journey on essential oils What to look for in essential oils and what to pay attention to in essential oil companies and brands Essential oils to combat sugar, salt, and fat cravings Morning, daytime, and evening rituals to sustain your energy Essential oil blends for the thyroid and the liver Phototoxicity and photosensitivity with essential oils Essential oils for PMS support The uses and benefits of copaiba Essential oils for bloating and digestive support Essential oils as air fresheners Key Takeaways: 98% of the essential oils in the market are synthetic to some degree or adulterated. It takes a lot of plant materials in order to create really therapeutic, beneficial, organic, and powerful plant essential oils. Peppermint is such a great appetite and craving suppressor. Dr. Mariza’s “Sugar Be Gone” blend contains 8 drops each of grapefruit, lemon, and peppermint. And her “Instant Energy” blend is a combination of peppermint and citrus (grapefruit or wild orange). Oils have a way of shifting your emotions and shifting your stress and shutting up that mental chatter. Dr. Mariza’s thyroid blend is 5 drops of frankincense, 5 drops of lemongrass, 5 drops of myrrh, 5 drops of clove, and 6 to 8 drops of lavender. For the liver, it’s turmeric and castor oil. Your go-to oils for PMS are clary sage and lavender. For the blend, use 10 drops of clary sage, 8 drops of lavender, 8 drops of geranium, 4 drops of bergamot, and 4 drops of ylang-ylang. For bloating, if it’s a duo, it would be 10 drops each of peppermint and ginger. If it’s a trio, it would be 7 to 8 drops each of peppermint, ginger, and phenol. Action Steps: Do your research on essential oil brands and companies. Know your trigger points when it comes to cravings and always have your essential oil blend to combat them. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, set a timer on your phone for every 90 minutes or every hour where you just take a moment, stand up, and reset. Dr. Mariza said: “The cool thing about essential oils… is that they’re anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-bacterial… because these chemical constituents are secondary metabolites on plants and their job is mainly to protect the plant from environmental threats…” “Self-care is really just giving yourself permission to pause.”   Thanks for listening!   Important Announcements: Don’t forget to grab a copy of Dr. Mariza's book, The Essential Oil Hormone Solution here on Amazon!

You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode50. Topics Discussed in this Episode: How Lauren handled getting diagnosed with breast cancer at age 26 Estrogen dominance and why hormonal imbalance is not to blame for when you get cancer The beneficial qualities of phytoestrogens The DUTCH test and why you should take it The effects of chemotherapy on your hormones and ovarian health The dietary changes that Lauren started to implement early on after her breast cancer diagnosis Commonalities among anti-cancer diets that we can all benefit from Lauren’s non-negotiables when it comes to health and wellbeing Mammograms and thermography   Key Takeaways: Managing your internal environment and managing your mindset can play a really pivotal role in your health and whether or not a disease can manifest in your body. When you get breast cancer, your hormones are not the problem. It’s not the hormonal imbalance that’s causing cancer but the misalignment in other areas of your life. If you have a symptom of estrogen dominance, it’s really just a sign to take a closer look at the message that this imbalance is showing you and look at the other areas in your life that could be contributing to this imbalance. When it comes to breast cancer, especially ones that are estrogen receptor-positive, it is important to look at the estrogen picture. Estrogen is actually a parent term and there are many different estrogen metabolites. Some of these metabolites are very protective, and some of them are more harmful. Any good breast cancer prevention protocol is going to address several things. It’s going to boost the immune system, it’s going to be super high in antioxidants, it’s going to be very anti-inflammatory, and it’s going to work on balancing blood sugar. Alcohol is absolutely something that should be addressed as part of any anti-cancer protocol. When it comes to breast cancer, there really is no safe amount of alcohol that can be consumed.   Action Steps: Do a breast self-exam. Know where your breasts are now and how they are when they’re healthy, and knowing what they feel like so that you can really monitor some changes. Pay attention to your cycle. It is a window into what’s really going on with your hormonal health. Test your hormones, especially after a breast cancer diagnosis. Make present-moment food choices that honor your highest self. Attend to your soul needs and do things that bring you joy.   Lauren said: “The best anti-cancer diet for anybody is one that serves them the best. “By taking care of yourself, you are saying yes to yourself. You are saying yes to the universe that you matter and you choose YOU. That is such a powerful message that can be sent… And when you choose YOU, you end up creating more space in your life to serve others.” Thanks for listening!

What happens when you have high estrogen levels, and what can you do about it? If you want to learn more about estrogen dominance, this podcast is chock-full with the information that will help you avoid it or heal it, and inspire you to make that change to hormonal health! Topics Discussed in this Episode: What is estrogen dominance? What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance? What are some causes of estrogen dominance? What can we do to heal estrogen dominance? Key Takeaways: Estrogen dominance for women is the condition of having far too much estrogen in relation to other hormones, in particular, progesterone in the body. With the overexposure that we have to plastics, chemicals, environmental toxins, food toxins, and stress, there is a good chance that many people are dealing with estrogen dominance. One of the main reasons why there has been a noticeable rise in estrogen dominance among women is because the use of the birth control pill has become so popular. The more fat cells you have, the more estrogen you will make. And the more estrogen you make, the more fat you will store. Action Steps: Do a DUTCH test or a saliva test to find out where your hormone levels are at. Limit your soy and coffee intake. Find a healthier alternative to the birth control pill. Avoid personal care products that contain xenoestrogens and other toxic chemicals. Filter your water and drink out of glass or stainless steel. Eat enough fiber and choose organic as much as possible. Dry brush. Ditch the plastic. Manage your stress. Take supplements that can help with estrogen dominance. Samantha said: “The pill is really going to create the perfect storm for hormonal imbalances.” “It’s really important to support a healthy body weight and to support detoxification overall.” Thanks for listening!

What has your spiritual awakening been like for you? Spiritual awakening is different for everyone and there are levels of intensity. There is a darker side to it, too. And sometimes, it can be messy. Join me as I talk about what this journey and process of spiritual awakening could be like and help you get to an understanding of what it means to you. In this episode you will learn: What is spiritual awakening? Why do some of us get into a slump as we go through the process of spiritual awakening? Why are some of us so driven to find the truth of existence? 3 Key Takeaways: Spiritual awakening is basically about having a new level of awareness and understanding about who you are, about purpose, about a connection to God, about existence, about things that can bring us a lot of joy and love. While you may have these moments in the process of spiritual awakening where you lose clarity, where you are assimilating some new information and may get off-kilter, it’s okay. If we are really understanding who we are, our power and our God connection, that should be a joyful moment and there should be more ease coming into life. Action Steps: Do things in spirit. If you find yourself in a worse state as a result of truth-seeking, reconsider that and think, “If I were really lining up with the truth of who I am, wouldn’t that mean that life got easier and better?” Quotes: “Always at my root, always at my foundation is my love for people, is my love for life, is my love for myself.” “Spiritual awakenings are, in my opinion, a messy, messy work.” You might have noticed that there’s a been a temporary shift in the release of podcast episodes.

Do you want to learn more about food sensitivities and how they are related to your hormones? Perk up your ears as the creator of the Maxim Movement, Dr. Andrea Maxim shares so much goodness on today's podcast.Topics Discussed in this Episode:The first step towards treating and supporting our hormonesCauses of inflammation in our gutHow we can reintroduce foods that we avoided during the treatment of our gutWhy we should pay attention to skin care and the importance of getting off the dead top layer of skinNutritional protocols for women suffering from things like estrogen dominance, PMS, and PMDDHerbs and homeopathies to treat hormonal imbalanceWhat we can do in our everyday life that's going to create this healthy foundation for healthy hormonesKey Takeaways:When it comes to hormonal problems, everything stems down to your digestive system.Food sensitivity is the number one thing we have to be ruling out and treating.A food sensitivity is not an allergy. It's based more on the immune system's reaction to the proteins in those foods so it's not something that you're always going to have the exact same reaction withMost of the skin cancers that happen are actually at the dead skin layer right at the top surface of your skin. If you don't do exfoliation or any type of skin treatment to remove that dead skin layer, malnourished, misshapen cells could actually start to lend to worse things like skin cancers.Natural remedies and natural ways of treating the body are not drugs and so they take a longer time to work.When your body is starting to show you these signs and symptoms, like fatigue, brain fog, skin changes, joint issues, etc., one of the big factors that you might be missing or not taking into consideration is giving your body the basic nutrients that it needs.Women's brains don't compartmentalize very well and are constantly all over the place (logical, emotional, spiritual, personal, etc.). We' re using up our resources at a much faster rate, so we have to be nourishing our body.Action Steps:Do gentle exfoliation two to three times a week and get skin treatment like wet microdermabrasion once every two to three months.Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lots of waterUse herbs in combination rather than just one on its own.Eliminate any form of dairy in your diet.Nourish your body well.Go to bed before 10:30.Dr. Maxim said:“Acknowledge how busy or stressed out your lifestyle is and nourish accordingly.”“Learn to just be unwaveringly selfish.”Thanks for listening!I would love to hear from you!
