What if the struggles you're facing aren't proof that God has forgotten you—but evidence that He's still shaping you?This week, we explored how God's grace doesn't just save us. It transforms us. And every day, we're invited to choose what we love most.

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World. Earlier this year, Jimmy Eat World unveiled the 25th anniversary tour of Bleed American — a landmark album that wrapped their sophisticated, heartfelt storytelling in giant hooks and polished production. Before their headlining run kicks off next week, the frontman stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to discuss the right way to finish a song, growing up in the '90s, and their ability to fit anywhere. “I don't know how, but we've definitely done tours where it's like nine ska bands and us or eight hardcore bands and us,” Adkins tells Madden. “Somehow we don't get chased out of the room.” ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!

"With animal welfare, we're basically waiting till the roof falls in — when the animals are at the shelter, that's the roof falling in. We have to catch them earlier." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Kitten Conference. What if the animal welfare system stopped waiting for families to walk through the shelter door — and started showing up before they ever got there? That's the question driving BJ Adkins, disabled veteran and founder of Animal Angels Foundation (AAF), a prevention-first nonprofit serving seven counties in central Alabama. After years of fostering and watching intake numbers refuse to budge, BJ decided to stop patching the system and start rebuilding its missing layer. AAF isn't a rescue organization. It's prevention infrastructure: programs designed to solve the problems that force pet surrender before surrender ever becomes an option. Those programs include SNIP, a spay/neuter assistance initiative with a $100 stipend for income-qualifying owners; The Bridge, which addresses the financial and housing barriers that most often precede surrender; Finder-to-Foster; Adoption Boost; Landlord Partnership; and Sniff and Greet. Connecting it all is the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) — a shared technology platform that replaces organizational silos with real-time coordination across shelters, rescues, vet clinics, and community partners. Three participation levels and no cost to join means even change-resistant organizations can get on board. To measure what's working, BJ is partnering with a University of Tennessee researcher to build the evidence base for prevention-first animal welfare — while already fielding calls from Colorado, Tennessee, and the Canadian SPCA. The data is being collected. The network is growing. And if BJ has anything to say about it, the roof won't have to fall in anymore. Press Play Now For: Why BJ compares the current animal welfare system to waiting for the roof to fall in — and what "upstream" intervention actually looks like A breakdown of AAF's six core programs and how each one targets a specific point of failure before shelter intake How the Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) replaces organizational silos with a shared, real-time coordination platform The SNIP program's $100 stipend model and why removing financial friction matters for low-income pet owners BJ's strategy for bringing change-resistant organizations into the network — with three levels of participation and no cost to join How AAF is partnering with University of Tennessee researchers to build a data-driven case for prevention programs Practical advice for new nonprofit founders: research first, build relationships, and find the gap nobody else is filling Resources & Links Animal Angels Foundation Website Animal Welfare Resource Network (AWRN) Maddie's Pet Forum (where Stacy and BJ connected)

Adkins shares details on this year's schedule, including the mule pull, horse show, demolition derby, wrestling, truck and tractor pulls, rodeo, horse racing, and the return of crowd favorites like minnow snatching and catfish wrangling. He also talks about new attractions like pig racing, affordable gate prices, and the strong community support that helps keep the fair one of Russell County's biggest annual traditions.

In this episode of Monday Matters, Will Parker brings together a group of school leaders from Ohio who participate in an ongoing Impact Mastermind in partnership with the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, Adkins & Company, LLC, and Principal Matters, LLC. The conversation centers on how collective coaching and collaboration strengthen leadership practice and help leaders better develop others. Meet the Ohio Impact Mastermind This week’s guests (pictured above) include Kelly M. Brodzenski, Breen Slauter, Julita (Julie) Flowers, Danielle Morris, and Renee Holt. Additional members mentioned but not present include: Jared Hawk, Allison Shardell, Joe Weisend, Ken Goodrum, and Chris Brooks. I'm grateful for each of them, and I'm excited to share lessons from our regular sessions together. Let's Keep Learning as Leaders A key theme throughout the discussion is that leadership can feel isolating, but being part of a trusted community creates space for honesty, reflection, and growth. The leaders describe how regular mastermind sessions provide: A safe, non-evaluative environment to process real challenges Opportunities to learn from others' experiences and apply solutions proactively Support in navigating emotionally complex decisions, especially around staff and school culture Accountability to stay focused on professional growth and reflective practice Several leaders highlight how coaching has sharpened their ability to: Listen deeply and ask better questions rather than rushing to solutions Separate emotion from evidence when making difficult decisions Build confidence and clarity in high-stakes leadership moments The group also emphasizes the practical impact of this work. They are not just learning—they are translating these strategies back into their schools by: Using coaching questions with assistant principals and staff Creating more reflective, people-centered staff meetings Encouraging team growth beyond just data and performance metrics Modeling collaboration and continuous learning within their own organizations Another major insight is the distinction between typical school meetings (focused on data and outcomes) and mastermind conversations, which focus on the “how” of leadership—mindset, decision-making, and personal growth. Parting Words of Wisdom As the conversation concluded, each leader offered a meaningful parting word of advice for fellow school leaders, reinforcing the importance of connection, growth, confidence, and purpose in the work. Danielle Morris reminded listeners, “You are not alone—seek out community.” Julita (Julie) Flowers encouraged leaders to remain grounded in their development, sharing, “Stay committed to growth to sustain leadership success.” Breen Slauter added the importance of trusting oneself while continuing to learn, noting, “Trust your instincts while remaining open to learning.” Finally, Renee Holt brought the focus back to purpose, urging leaders to “Always reconnect to your ‘why' for leading.” Let's Wrap This Up Great leaders don't grow in isolation. They grow through intentional, collaborative learning with others who understand the work. If you're interested in learning more from these leaders, reach out through their websites listed in the introduction. If you'd like to connect about opportunities for coaching, mentoring, or Masterminds for yourself or your leaders, reach out to Will at will@williamdparker.com Until next time, thank you for doing what matters!

Send us Fan MailAnxiety has a way of convincing us that if we just plan harder and grip tighter, we will finally feel safe. Jonathan Adkins shares what happened when that strategy stopped working and he hit a low point that forced an honest admission: control is not the same as peace, and it never was. His story will resonate with a lot of Christian men who grew up around church, drifted in college, and later realized something essential was missing.Most men fight a battle no one sees—their thoughts.

Crimson Desert is the most talked about Game of 2026. It's insane scope, coupled with deep combat and incredible graphics surely make it a candidate as one of the highest scoring games of the year. Well, that is not the case, so we sent Adkins to find out what is really going on under the hood.From Knockout Kings, to Ready to Rumble to Fight Night, boxing games were once a staple of a gamers diet. However, as the sport spluttered and MMA rose to prominence, they seemed to fall by the wayside. In 2024, enter Undisputed and their attempt to bring back a Boxing video game. Biff decided to step into the ring and report back on what to expect.  Mixtape fired out the blocks as one of the highest rated games of the year. Critics cited its incredible soundtrack and emotional narrative as a potential new watermark. As time went on, the scores corrected themselves and Mixtape was snarled up in some controversy. Adkins cuts through all the noise to deliver the final verdict.With GTA VI closing in, Paper decided it was time to catch up on a gap in his Rockstar Games shame list. Paper rewarded himself with Red Dead Redemption 2. Seen as one of the greatest games of all time, this 2018 release is still being spoken about today. Paper continues that with his view on this classic. If you weren't into Mario Kart World, chances are you were looking at Donkey Kong Bananza as your most anticipated Switch 2 game of 2026. It took a bit of time but Adkins finally got time to blast through this ambitious platformer.Timestamps:00:00:00 Crimson Desert01:02:24 Undisputed01:45:36 Mixtape02:10:40 Red Dead Redemption 203:19:54 Donkey Kong Bananza

When life gets loud, our hearts drift. Anxiety grows. Gratitude fades. We forget what God has already done.Psalm 103 is a reminder to preach truth to your own soul: Don't forget His goodness.

When I was a boy, I loved watching Star Wars. I thought it was incredible when Jedi masters like Obi-Wan Kenobi or Luke Skywalker could persuade others through thought or outwit opponents through their use of “The Force.” Sometimes, I like to describe amazing educators as “Jedis” in their own work. You know that teacher who seems to master any classroom setting, or that inspiring principal who can be both firm and caring at the same time? It's hard to describe what makes them so effective, but good teaching and leadership is both an art and science. In this week's Monday Matters, I'm sharing a recording with one of my longest-running Mastermind groups—a group of Jedi educators. Six years ago, Sheila Vitale at the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce reached out about working with Ohio charter school leaders. We began with a series on my Hats for Leadership, and many of those leaders later transitioned into a Mastermind. For this episode, I invited the group that has been together the longest to record a session with me about how collaboration, coaching, and applying ideas have supported their growth. The takeaway for other leaders is simple: your commitment to collaboration, mutual mentoring, and coaching can protect you from isolation and inspire stronger connections with your teachers, students, and community. As we wrapped up the conversation, I asked each leader for a parting word of advice. I've included their insights below along with their school information.

Psalm 51 reminds us that even our worst failures don't put us beyond the reach of God's mercy. King David's story is messy, painful, and deeply human, but it points to a powerful truth: mercy begins where excuses end. If you've ever wrestled with regret, shame, or consequences from your own choices, this message is for you.

Cozy Game has caught fire and blindsided both Adkins and Apps. Where does Pokémon Pokopia rank in the Cozy Game list and does it have potential to be one of the best Pokémon games in the franchise?Paper loves an obscure indie game and nothing says obscure indie game more than Coffee Talk. Set in a fantasy version of Seattle, Coffee Talk lets you take the role of a barista as they listen to laundry list of problems the shops various customers have. With a vast range of colourful characters and problems to try and solve, does Coffee Talk hit the heights of some of Paper's favourite obscure Indie Games?With Saros just around the corner it was time for Apps to dive into Returnal. Housemarque's attempt to transition their tight combat into a Third Person Perspective was met to critical acclaim. Returnal's brutal Roguelite (or is it a Roguelike?) mechanics certainly filtered people but did their commitment to their vision ultimately hurt the game overall?Hall's traditional return to the podcast is for our rebranded Game of the Year chat, now called, Gaming's Best.

What do you do when life starts falling apart and nothing feels stable anymore?This message breaks down one of the most powerful passages in the Bible and shows how to stay grounded when everything around you feels chaotic. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, uncertainty, or a situation you can't control, this will challenge the way you think about fear, strength, and where real stability comes from. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in your thoughts, or afraid of what's next, this is for you. There's a different way to face crisis and it might not be what you expect.

@1QLeadership Question: Is compliance leadership superpower in college athletics? This episode of the One Question Leadership Podcast follows Erin Adkins' journey from law school to becoming Executive Senior Associate AD for NIL Strategy and Initiatives at UCLA. It explores how compliance, instinct, and relationships prepare leaders to guide student‑athletes and coaches in an era of NIL, the transfer portal, and high‑stakes competitive success. Path to college athletics Erin shares how growing up an Arizona fan, choosing law school, and trying both pro sports and college internships helped her realize that collegiate athletics was where she could directly impact the "product" every day. Why a compliance background is a leadership superpower She explains how compliance touches every corner of an athletic department, giving future sport administrators a 360‑degree view of people, processes, and problems—and making it an ideal launchpad for leadership roles Leading through relationships in the NIL and transfer‑portal era Adkins describes how intentional presence, quick responsiveness, and small daily interactions with coaches and student‑athletes build trust, which then underpins everything from navigating NIL to keeping elite teams—like UCLA baseball's veteran junior core—together and thriving One Question Leaderhsip Podcast - Stephanie Garcia Cichosz - Tai M.

When your usual coping strategies stop working… where do you turn?This message dives into Psalm 61 and shows how David responded when he hit the end of himself.Instead of controlling, blaming, or spiraling, he ran to God: “Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”God is not distant in your struggle. He is your refuge, your perspective, and your strength when you don't have any left.

What if the pain you carry is shaping how you see God? In this message, we step into the story of the empty tomb and discover how Jesus meets people in their darkest moments, calls them by name, and offers real freedom from the past. If you've ever felt stuck, hurt, or unsure where God is, this is a reminder that He may be closer than you think.

Palm Sunday is often seen as a celebration—but underneath it, there's tension.  The same crowd praising Jesus would turn on Him just days later. Why?Because they were looking for the wrong kind of Savior.In this message, we unpack how expectations shape what we see, how God often works differently than we want, and why following Jesus is less about control—and more about trust.

In this next episode in the BaseCamp Live series exploring classical Christian education, Davies Owens welcomes Dr. Michael Adkins for a thoughtful conversation about what classical Christian education really is and why that question matters so much for families, schools, and the future of society. Dr. Adkins brings both historical depth and practical insight as he explains that classical Christian education is not primarily about training students to do more, but about forming them to become a certain kind of person. In contrast to modern models that often focus on utility, credentials, and workforce preparation, this conversation highlights an older and richer vision of education, one centered on truth, goodness, beauty, wisdom, and virtue. As part of this ongoing series, the episode helps listeners see that classical Christian education is not a trendy alternative or niche experiment. It is part of a much larger tradition that has shaped the West for centuries. Davies and Dr. Adkins trace the historical shift from a largely biblical and classical model of education to the progressive philosophy that reshaped modern schooling, showing how those changes affected not only academics, but also the way students understand freedom, authority, responsibility, and the purpose of life itself. This episode is both a defense of classical Christian education and an invitation to better understand its roots, its goals, and its lasting relevance in a modern world that often feels confused and disordered.

Most contractors don't lose money because they're bad at the work. They lose money because they don't actually know where it's going. In this episode, I sit down with Cody Adkins of Tri-State Outdoor Living to talk about what it looks like when you're winning jobs, staying busy, and still coming up short, especially when winter hits. Cody shares how square foot pricing left him negative on jobs, the pressure of going into winter with four kids, and what changed once he started breaking down labor, overhead, and profit instead of guessing. We also get into running lean crews, paying guys more to produce more, and why efficiency matters more than chasing bigger jobs. If you've ever thought, "We're slammed, so why does this still feel tight?" this one will hit close to home.
