John Kosar discusses the “Asbury 6” as it turns bearish. The Asbury 6 is a measurement of various market metrics, including S&P 500 rate of change, volatility, trading volume, and market breadth. 5 out of the 6 are negative right now, with the S&P 500 rate of change the only one in the green. Most of the metrics have changed over during April. He discusses how the Asbury 6 can show the “quality of the market” in these times of uncertainty and volatility.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Women are leaving the church in droves, while men are coming back into the church. In previous years, women have been attending churches in larger numbers. There is a desire for both men and women to be revived spiritually. However, what does a true revival look like? Is it tied to emotion and music, or is there more to it than that?This program includes:1.

What if humility isn't about shrinking, but about seeing clearly? Zach Meerkreebs knows something about unexpected transformations. A Jewish kid from the East Coast who became a Christian pastor, he found himself at the epicenter of the Asbury outpouring - a spiritual moment that swept through a small Kentucky campus, touching 100,000 people - after delivering what he initially thought was a "stinker" of a sermon. In this episode, Zach takes us on a deeply personal journey through grief, faith, and the radical nature of Jesus' humility. From losing a daughter to navigating a profound spiritual awakening, he offers a raw, unfiltered look at what it means to walk with God when life doesn't make sense. We'll explore how true humility isn't about being small, but about understanding who we are in relationship with God. Get ready for a conversation that may reshape the way you think about pride, pain, and the transformative power of seeing yourself through God's eyes. This is an invitation to a different way of living - one marked by grace, honesty, and unexpected hope. So join us as we go lower. Zach Meerkreebs is the proud husband of Kristin and father to three little girls: Eden, Esther, and Mercy. He is thankful for the opportunity to have served within churches by coaching and catalyzing church plants, traveling and speaking, and most recently had the gift of a lifetime as he preached on February 8, 2023, where he had a front row seat to see God moving amidst the Asbury outpouring where a small town and university experienced sixteen days of unending prayer and worship. More than one hundred thousand guests from around the country--and the world--experienced the peace and power of God.Zach's Book:LowerZach's Recommendations:How to FastBeholding and ThirstingSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Dr. Ellen Marmon serves Professor of Christian Discipleship at Asbury Theological Seminary. For years, she served on the leadership team of Asbury's Doctor of Ministry program, and helped so many pastors work their way through dissertation projects. She has lived the discipling life through and through, so it is a pleasure to introduce her to the Art of Holiness community. We talk about the culture of discipleship, evangelism, and some other things. I hope you listen. 

John Kosar updates viewers on the Asbury 6, all of which turned red as of March 3. However, “about half” of the indicators are “1-3 days away” from turning positive again. He walks through a chart of the SPX, which he says might be in for a downtrend. He points out “major overhead resistance” at 5740-5773 and “primary tactical support” at 5403.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

What makes a campus fall to its knees in worship for 16 straight days? Why do some places become sacred spaces where God repeatedly pours out His Spirit? Join us as we welcome Rev. Dr. Suzanne Nicholson, Professor of New Testament at Asbury University, to reflect on the remarkable 2023 Asbury Revival two years later and discuss her new book “Cooperating with the Holy Spirit.” From the initial 16-day outpouring that captured global attention to the lasting impact on campus life and beyond, Dr. Nicholson shares unique insights as both an eyewitness and scholar studying revival movements. We'll explore the theological foundations of revival, practical lessons for stewarding moves of God, and how this historic event fits into both Asbury's legacy of revivals and the broader context of spiritual awakening in America. Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classesSupport the showABOUT THE REMNANT RADIO:

On February 8, 2023, Zach had a front row seat to see God move in what has been called the Asbury Revival or the Asbury Outpouring, where a small town and university experienced sixteen days of unending prayer and worship. More than one hundred thousand guests from around the country—and the world—experienced the peace and power of God there in that place. Zach is the proud husband of Kristin and father to three little girls: Eden, Esther, and Mercy.

[teaching text]7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;     wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear joy and gladness;     let the bones that you have broken rejoice.9 Hide your face from my sins,     and blot out all my iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,     and renew a right[b] spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from your presence,     and take not your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,     and uphold me with a willing spirit.13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,     and sinners will return to you.14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,     O God of my salvation,     and my tongue will sing aloud of your righteousness.15 O Lord, open my lips,     and my mouth will declare your praise.16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;     you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;     a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.Psalm 51:7-17On Feb. 8, 2023, what began as a routine Wednesday morning Chapel service with the student body turned into a multiweek Outpouring that some have described as a revival. Led by students, the services attracted college students from hundreds of other colleges and universities, beginning as soon as Wednesday evening. Then, news of the continuous services spread around the world, and attracted people to Wilmore from as far away as Russia and Japan. Media outlets arrived en masse to cover the spiritual awakening among young people. Countless reports of life change, salvation, and re-dedications to Christ were some of the amazing results of the Outpouring events. Asbury staff, faculty, students and volunteers worked tirelessly to welcome the visitors to campus, with orderly lines to get into Hughes extending a half mile long around campus. The events lasted for 16 days, culminating in a service specifically for Gen Z students on Feb. 23, 2023. Yet, the Lord continues to move across the Wilmore community, Kentucky, the United States, and the world.Asbury UniversityGOD COMES WHERE HE'S WANTED7 Where shall I go from your Spirit?    Or where shall I flee from your presence?8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!9 If I take the wings of the morning    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,10 even there your hand shall lead me,    and your right hand shall hold me.Psalm 139:7-1020 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.Revelation 3:20ALTARS OF THE HEART, HOME, CHURCH, AND CITYAltar of The Heart10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,     and renew a right[b] spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from your presence,     and take not your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,     and uphold me with a willing spirit.Psalm 51:10-12Now, some people think the Bible is a book of rules, telling you what you should and shouldn't do. The Bible certainly does have some rules in it. They show you how life works best. But the Bible isn't mainly about you and what you should be doing. It's about God and what he has done. Other people think the Bible is a book of heroes, showing you people you should copy. The Bible does have some heroes in it, but (as you'll soon find out) most of the people in the Bible aren't heroes at all. They make some big mistakes (sometimes on purpose). They get afraid and run away. At times they are downright mean.Jesus Storybook Bible16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;     you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.Psalm 51:16WORSHIP HAPPENS AT THE ALTAR16 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;     you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;     a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.Psalm 51:7-17GOD WANTS A BROKEN HEARTIf you and I have a broken spirit, all idea of our own importance is gone. What is the use of a broken heart? Why, much the same as the use of a broken pot, or a broken jug, or a broken bottle!Charles SpurgeonThe idea of “nakedness” is far more than mere nudity. It has the sense of being totally open and exposed as a person before God and man. To be naked… and not ashamed means you have no sin, nothing to be rightly ashamed of, and nothing to hide.David GuzikGod cannot transform the person you are pretending to be.Jon TysonYou will never make yourself feel that you are a sinner, because there is a mechanism in you as a result of sin that will always be defending you against every accusation. We are all on very terms with ourselves, and we can always put up a good case for ourselves. Martyn Lloyd-Jones13 David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die. 2 Samuel 12:135 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

This $1.34 billion deal includes 33 dealerships, 52 franchises, and three collision centers, adding to Asbury's nationwide footprint.The acquisition represents $2.9 billion in revenue in 2024, making it one of the most significant transactions in the industry.Herb Chambers will retain ownership of Mercedes-Benz of Boston but will step into a Special Advisor role at Asbury.The deal is expected to close late in Q2 2025, pending customary approvals.Asbury's CEO David Hult praised the move, saying, “Herb is an icon in Boston, and he has built a world-class organization.”Herb Chambers reflected on the sale: “As I look back on the last 40 years in business, I do so with immense pride, and as I look forward, I will do so with great satisfaction knowing what we built together will be in trusted hands,”The possibility of Honda and Nissan merging to form the world's fourth-largest automaker is back on the table—but with one major condition: Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida must step down, according to the Financial Times.Talks to create a $60 billion company collapsed last week, deepening Nissan's struggles amid hybrid shortages and Chinese competition.Renault and Nissan's board are reportedly pushing Uchida to exit, with informal discussions on his departure already underway.Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe has ruled out a hostile takeover but is open to renewed negotiations under new Nissan leadership.Mitsubishi shares jumped 8.6% on the news, as a Honda-Nissan deal would stabilize its position, reducing its dependence on Nissan.Analyst Tatsuo Yoshida sees a potential Honda-Nissan partnership as a win-win, but warns that Nissan must first “get its act together.”Despite its dominance in e-commerce, Amazon continues to stumble in physical retail, as detailed in a Wall Street Journal report. From Amazon Go to Amazon Style, the company has repeatedly failed to make stores work, raising questions about its brick-and-mortar strategy.Amazon Go now has just 16 stores, after cutting half its locations since 2023.Amazon Books, Amazon 4-Star, and Amazon Style all shut down within the past three years."Just Walk Out" tech was removed from Amazon Fresh stores in April 2024, as customers preferred Dash Cart smart shopping carts instead.Critics argue Amazon “doesn't understand retail,” with poor store design and a lack of clear purpose in past concepts.Whole Foods remains its one success story, with Amazon making price cHosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Zach Meerkreebs, author of "Lower," talks about what shockingly happened before the Asbury outpouring a couple of years ago, and also how radical humility is so essential for personal and communal revivial.  Vibrant Faith's Rick Lawrence, author of "Editing Jesus," talks about how when God transforms us, it often can be painful, but in His kindness, he's breaking down the hardness of our hearts. Do we have that same kindness to lean into their hardness and willing to allow the pain? Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support. Give now: Click here    

Are our lives and ministries truly being shaped by the Spirit, or are they shaped perhaps by our insecurities, disappointments, our own ambitions, and our other baggage? In this week's conversation on FrontStage BackStage, host Jason Daye is joined by Zach Meerkreebs. Zach had a unique experience on February 8, 2023, when he preached the sermon at the chapel service at Asbury University. This led to a 16-day spiritual revival, now known as Asbury Outpouring, which had ripple effects across the country and even around the world. Zach now serves as the Pastor in Residence at Asbury, and his most recent book is entitled Lower. Together, Zach and Jason explore how we can invite the Holy Spirit in to help us assess our feelings, whether negative or positive, that surround our ministry activities and how we engage in serving others. Zach also shares from his personal experiences of grief, loss, vulnerability, and humility and provides some essential spiritual practices that can help us empty ourselves as we prepare to serve.Dig deeper into this conversation: Find the free Weekly Toolkit, including the Ministry Leaders Growth Guide, all resource links, and more, at http://PastorServe.org/networkSome key takeaways from this conversation:Zach Meerkreebs on the importance of authenticity and vulnerability in one's relationship with God: "​​If I don't hide, He can work with whatever I bring."Zach Meerkreebs on the significance of humility and surrender in our faith journey: "It's hard to be filled with the Spirit if you're full of yourself."Zach Meerkreebs on the foundational role of God's love in our ability to love others: "We couldn't love horizontally to one another without experiencing it vertically from God."----------------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

In this episode, Alan sits down with author, pastor, and speaker Zach Meerkreebs to explore the journey of humility, pain, and redemption that led to his powerful new book, Lower. Zach shares how God shaped his life through challenges, failures, and moments of transformation. The conversation dives deep into themes like radical humility, the crushing seasons of life, and finding God's presence in unexpected places—whether it's cleaning windows or working at a donut shop. Zach offers raw, heartfelt reflections on grief, leadership, and the power of embracing the low places to let God work in profound ways. Key Moments: Childhood & Faith Journey: Zach's unique story of growing up in a Jewish household and finding Jesus through authentic relationships with mentors like Alan. Lessons in Leadership: Insights from Zach's experiences at the Asbury revival and how 16 days transformed his understanding of humility and spiritual leadership. The Crushing & Formation: Zach shares candidly about personal failures, the painful process of restoration, and how God uses "compost moments" to cultivate growth. Radical Humility Defined: A deep dive into the biblical concept of humility as "agreeing with God's assessment of who we are and who He is." Living in Tension: Zach talks about the paradox of writing a book on humility and navigating the challenges of staying grounded while sharing his story widely. Quotes to Remember: "Humility isn't about thinking less of yourself; it's agreeing with who God says you are and trusting Him to lead." "You can choose to let suffering deform you—or let it form you into the image of Christ." "Radical humility is one of the most countercultural and compelling traits Christians can live out today." A Message for the Weary: If you're in a season of crushing, Zach offers encouragement rooted in Ephesians 2:10: "You are God's workmanship, created for good works." He shares a powerful reminder to trust the process and let God's Spirit testify to your adoption, even in the midst of hardship.

When Zach Meerkreebs finished preaching at a university chapel service February 8, 2023, he texted his wife to say he felt like his sermon hadn't gone well at all. Four hours later, he wept into a voice memo, asking her to load up their kids and head his way as soon as possible. What we now know as The Asbury Outpouring was beginning. Meerkreebs, a pastor and author, describes what it's like to be part of a supernatural movement that takes on a life of its own. He and Steve talk about the shame many preachers feel after giving sermons they feel went poorly and how Meerkreebs has learned to steward his emotions in those moments. They talk about the vulnerability of grief, how God has met Meerkreebs at various moments throughout his life, and their hopes for the discipleship of Generation Z.
