God gives us assignments that are for a moment, season, or lifetime. As we are doing an assignment, we may not know which time frame it falls into. Therefore, it is important to stay connected to Holy Spirit and not assume an assignment from God is forever so that we can be open to hearing if (or when) a change in assignment comes. This is important because God's anointing for success follows His assignments. __________ Matthew 15:24 KJV, Matthew 10:5–7 KJV, Matthew 28:18–20 KJV, Acts 1:8–9 KJV, Acts 8:1 KJV, Acts 10:10–16 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

Just three days ago, Jason celebrated 20 years in an automotive journalism! The industry has changed in a number of ways - most noticeably, with video taking over as the primary consumed content medium over print. Jason's career started at the beginning of the end of the print heydays - a time vastly different than the one we're currently living in. Jason's story starts in Ann Arbor, MI in 2007 - where actually, it almost stopped completely. Very quickly, he's thrown into the middle of a pyramidal power struggle between the domain name-owning agency Automotive.com, and his in-person editorial team. From getting a speeding ticket on his first day with a press car, to getting fired by one internal team and immediately re-hired by another, to living in a place he struggled to call home, Jason nearly threw in the towel. But automotive legend Jean Jennings - his (real) boss at the time - is one of the reasons you see him with us today. And a trip from New York to New Orleans in a $250 Cadillac Fleetwood Limo cemented - but almost shattered - their relationship. This episode, amongst other parts of Jason's career - is primarily about that perilous journey. Jason recounts his time in a broken-frame Cadillac limo with Jean and another automotive legend - Sam Smith - with nearly 100 breakdowns, bruises, burns, pink tutus and tuxedos, rubber ducks, and unbearable heat. But somehow, they made it - and you can read more about it here from the original airing of the article in Automobile Magazine in 2007: http://bit.ly/4vqFvhw (Also, a link to the 1983 Car And Driver Mexico Torture Test - you'll understand why later in the show: https://www.caranddriver.com/photos/g17857487/escape-from-baja-mexican-sports-sedan-torture-test-archived-comparison-test-gallery/ ) All this and much more on this special episode of The Carmudgeon Show.

Hebrews 11:8-16 "Our Assignment is Here, Our Home is There" by Chaplain Braswell
What if every failure, dead end, and "wasted" season of your life was actually God building something you couldn't see yet? In this episode, Lance Wallnau unpacks convergence — the moment God's blueprint for your life, forged through years of mistakes and hard lessons, finally locks into your ultimate divine assignment. Is your greatest season still ahead of you? Lance breaks down the four key elements of convergence and why the decade from 2026 to 2036 may be the most critical window of your life — where your calling sharpens into a singular, irreversible contribution that outlasts you. In this episode: * What "convergence" really means — and why your past failures aren't detours, they're data * The Hebrew concept of yeter — the "excellent spirit" that causes you to jut out above your competition * Why praying in the Holy Spirit keeps you on the road to your calling even when you feel completely lost * David's slingshot strategy: how natural talent + supernatural anointing becomes your unique methodology * The Medici Effect — how God uses cross-domain insight to give you first-mover advantage in your field * How to identify the MAJOR role God has for you — not the minor ones * Why specificity of calling is power, and how to get radically clear on your ultimate contribution Your past failures weren't the end of your story. They were the curriculum. Podcast Episode 2170: How God Uses Your Past Failures to Unlock Your Ultimate Assignment | don't miss this!

7/3/2026 THE ASSIGNMENT MENTALITY - PUBLIC SERVICE VS SELF SERVICE EPISODE 1816“Too many leaders suffer with destination disease. When I get there.. to that level, to that promotion, to that title - THEN I will have arrived…” J Loren Norris (paraphrasing John Maxwell)The Assignment Mentality: Public Service vs. Self Service:Most leaders need to refocus their view of leadership as a distinct assignment rather than a personal destination. Viewing your role as a servant on assignment changes daily operational execution by keeping the focus on how your efforts benefit others. Viewing leadership roles as a personal destination changes loyalty and commitment levels to focus on rewards, future opportunities and visible accomplishments. When a leader understands their assignment they understand “It's not about you!” It's about the team. It's about the big win. It's about helping others to achieve and become. Otherwise, it's not leadership it's just competition to see who can amass the most titles and awards. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:
Tyler and Sanjana kick things off this week with their take on Netflix’s Office Romance: The Brett Goldstein–Jennifer Lopez movie that features Betty Gilpin delivering one of the great rom-com best-friend performances in recent memory. Then Lyla Sage joins to talk about cowboy romance: fantasy vs. reality, writing about rural communities with actual texture in this political moment, and how atmosphere and landscape do the heavy lifting in her books. And, at last, Tyler assigns Sanjana The Idea of You by Robinne Lee, a romance-adjacent cult favorite that gives them much to discuss. On Office Romance (streaming on Netflix): what J.Lo brings to the rom-com that almost no one else can, why Betty Gilpin’s supporting role is the opposite of window dressing, and what Brett Goldstein’s whole body of work tells you about the kind of story he’s obsessed with telling. Lyla Sage is the author of the Rebel Blue Ranch series and the Sweetwater Peak duology, Soul Searching and the forthcoming Free Falling.

Lose your job at 25 and someone will help you find another. Lose it at 55 and the talk quietly turns to how you might wind down towards retirement.Policymakers tend to assume job search training works for the young and not the old, so they rarely spend money trying. Bas van der Klaauw (Tinbergen Institute) thinks they got that wrong.In this week's VoxTalks Economics, he tells Tim Phillips about a Dutch experiment that put older unemployed workers through an intensive programme built on one idea: teach people over 50 to find work the way younger workers already do, by working their social network.Participants left unemployment faster, there was a 10% increase in job finding, and the savings in benefits more than covered the cost. The catch: it helped the better educated most and was tested in a recession. Will it work just as well in today's labour market, where even the young and well-educated are struggling to find good jobs?The research behind this episode:de Groot, Nynke, and Bas van der Klaauw. 2026. "A Randomized Experiment on Improving Job Search Skills of Older Unemployed Workers." CEPR Discussion Paper 21464. (Gated)To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Bas van der Klaauw. 2026. “Helping the over-50s find work.” VoxTalks Economics (podcast). About the guestBas van der Klaauw is professor of economics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and director of the Tinbergen Institute. An applied microeconometrician, he uses causal methods to study labour markets, education and health, and is a research fellow of CEPR and IZA. His work on unemployment insurance, active labour market programmes and job search includes several field experiments run with the Dutch benefits administration.The paper is co-authored with Nynke de Groot, an economist at the National Health Care Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland) who took her PhD at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her earlier work with van der Klaauw includes a study of how cutting the unemployment insurance entitlement period affects job finding.Research and concepts discussed in this episodeOlder workers and long-term unemployment. Older unemployed workers tend to have job finding rates around half those of younger workers, and during the recession the study covers, more than half of older job seekers risked becoming long-term unemployed. Van der Klaauw attributes the gap to a combination of factors rather than any single cause: more generous and longer benefit entitlements that weaken the incentive to take a lower-paid job quickly, and employers who favour younger hires expected to grow with the firm over a longer horizon.STEP (Successfully to Employment Program). A Dutch job search assistance programme developed during the post-2008 recession for unemployed workers aged 50 and above who had not found work within a few months of claiming unemployment insurance. It ran to 10 group sessions of around four hours each plus two individual meetings, covering interview practice, CV writing and social media, with a particular emphasis on activating the participant's social network. Participants were encouraged to have at least one conversation a week with a contact about possible work. The programme cost roughly 470 euros per participant.The experiment. The study covers everyone aged 50 to 63 who entered unemployment insurance in the Netherlands between November 2014 and July 2015 and remained unemployed for three months, about 50,000 people. Assignment to treatment or control was based on the last digit of the social security number, putting roughly 20% in the control group. Because participation was voluntary (an encouragement design), the authors report both the effect of being offered the programme and, using random assignment as an instrument, the effect of actually taking part. Around 54% of those in the treatment group took up STEP.What it did to job search behaviour. The job application register lets the authors watch how people searched. Participants made fewer applications to posted vacancies and did more networking, exactly the shift the programme was designed to produce. The change in method did not raise the number of job interviews, but it was accompanied by faster exits from unemployment.Cost effectiveness. Participation cut cumulative benefit payments by about 715 euros within 18 months, comfortably above the 470 euro cost, making STEP cost effective for the benefits administration. For participants, the lost benefits were almost fully offset by higher earnings from working sooner, so there was no large income gain to the individual, but no loss either.Who it helped. Effects were strongest for the better educated, those with higher pre-unemployment earnings and those not previously working through a temporary work agency. There was little or no effect on the lowest educated, who also had the lowest take-up. The authors find no significant difference by gender or by age band within the 50 to 63 range.Trainers and group composition. Effectiveness varied significantly across trainers, but no observed characteristic (gender, age, experience, contract type) explained which trainers did better. Group composition mattered too: participants did better when their group contained some lower-educated members, which argues for mixed rather than streamed training groups. One reading is that trainers may concentrate their attention on the more employable members of a group.Does it generalise? Two caveats. The programme was evaluated in a recession, when people were losing jobs through no fault of their own (frictional unemployment), and it may do less when work is easier to find. And it was designed for that kind of unemployment, not for the structural problem of workers whose skills no longer match available jobs, where van der Klaauw suggests training or retraining, rather than job search help, is the relevant tool.
Register for School of the Prophets 2026 In this week's episode of Cultural Catalysts, Lindsay Reiman sits down with author and prophetic leader Bethany Hicks for a conversation that's part interview, part activation. Have you ever felt exhausted—not because you're doing too much, but because you might be carrying something you're no longer meant to carry? Together they unpack one of the most important questions every believer must answer: What season am I in, and what is God asking me to do in it? Bethany shares practical keys for discerning your current season, recognizing the assignments God has given you, and letting go of the ones He never intended you to carry forever.

Every individual carries a unique calling from God that is birthed directly out of their identity, not their skill set. Walking out this divine purpose requires navigating a process of deep soul transformation, character refinement, and enduring heavy real-world resistance. By understanding Jesus's parable of the sower, we can identify internal hurdles like superficial roots or worldly distractions and learn to fully mature the seeds of truth planted within our hearts.

No one wants to feel like a sucker. In fact, the very thought of being one – of playing the fool – shapes our behavior in powerful ways. But what if our fear causes us to make choices that aren't good for us? Or worse, what if people weaponize our fear in order to dominate or disempower us? Tess Wilkinson-Ryan has written a stunning book on the topic called, Fool Proof: How Fear of Playing the Sucker Shapes Our Selves and the Social Order and What We Can Do about It. A psychologist and law professor, Tess helps us understand what this fear is, why we have it, and how it plays out in law, politics, and everyday life. She also shares how to overcome it and make the decisions that are aligned with our goals. It's a book you'll keep thinking about long after you've read it.

In this episode, Preston sits down for a profound, deeply vulnerable conversation with former Dallas Cowboys star and NFL Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware. They explore the intersection of elite athletic success, intense personal pain, and ultimate spiritual transformation. For years, DeMarcus was one of the most feared defenders in NFL history. But his greatest transition didn't happen on the field—it happened in his heart. In this transparent conversation, DeMarcus opens up about moving past a surface-level belief into a life of total surrender, finding his true identity outside of football, and stepping boldly into his new, divine assignment. What You'll Learn: The Trap of "Believing" vs. "Following": DeMarcus breaks down why simply believing in God isn't enough, and shares the exact moment he realized he was a fan of Jesus rather than a follower. When the Lights Go Out: What happens to your identity when the thing you've done your whole life is suddenly gone? DeMarcus gets raw about the quiet, difficult transition out of the NFL spotlight and into the unknown. Spotting the Enemy's Game Plan: DeMarcus shares tactical spiritual wisdom on how the enemy tries to use our greatest strengths and successes against us—and how to spot the trap before it springs. The Ultimate Audible: How do you react when God completely changes your trajectory? Learn how DeMarcus embraced a "new assignment" that required more courage than any situation he ever faced on the gridiron. If you are trying to navigate a transition, trying to figure out your next chapter, or trying to find the courage to fully submit your plans to God, this episode is for you.

Before D. L. Moody became the greatest evangelist of the 19th Century, he ran a storefront Sunday School to reach some of the street kids of Chicago. The story is told of one tough little guy who was seen on Sunday after Sunday. He lived a long way from his destination. Well, on one brutally cold and snowy Chicago day, one man saw the boy walking into the wind, making his usual Sunday morning journey to Moody's Sunday School. He asked the boy why he would make that effort every Sunday, even on a day when no one else was out, especially when he passed by a lot of churches that were a lot closer to his home. The boy's explanation was pretty clear and pretty simple, “I go there Mister, because they really make a fellow feel loved there.” I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “A Leader's Real Assignment.” The first portrait of Jesus I can ever remember seeing as a child was one that portrays Him as the Good Shepherd, with His sheep following Him closely and this one little lamb cuddled in His arms. Interestingly enough, now that I'm in Christian leadership, I realize that picture is also what I'm supposed to be about. And you, too, if God has entrusted you with any kind of influence or direction in people's lives. Your template is supposed to be that of a shepherd of whom people say, “He or she sure makes a person feel loved.” Listen to 1 Peter 5, beginning with verse 2. It's our word for today from the Word of God, and it's a picture of leadership worth planting deeply in your heart. Writing to those in leadership God says, “Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, serving as overseers...” OK, quick timeout here! Notice whose sheep your people are—your children are. They're God's; they're not yours. Don't ever start acting like they're yours. And notice, too, that they are given to you to be under your care, not under your thumb. Peter goes on: “Not because you must, but because you are willing…not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.” OK, what's the Biblical picture of being a leader? Right, shepherding. Leading the sheep, not lording it over them. Loving the sheep, not using them for your own ends. Modeling more than demanding. So if you're a shepherd, what should you be doing? Well, a shepherd always leads the sheep to what they need. If you've been entrusted with people to lead, it's your job to gently direct them to what they need emotionally, spiritually, physically, mentally, and to know when they need encouraging, and when they need correcting, and when they just need loving. Christian leadership is all about you meeting their needs, not them meeting yours. Shepherding also means keeping your sheep from wandering—establishing clear boundaries and pulling them back at the first sign of wandering. Being a shepherd also means protecting your sheep from the enemy. A few verses later in this passage, Peter talks about resisting the roaring lion who's looking for someone to devour. It is the Christian leader's job to keep his eyes open for where Satan might get in and then to defend his flock from the stalking of the lion. And Jesus taught us one other thing the “good shepherd” does. He said, “He calls His own sheep by name” (John 10:3). I love that! In other words, if you're a good shepherd, you will give each of His sheep individual attention, the kind that street kid in Chicago must have felt at D. L. Moody's Sunday School. Make each one feel like the most important person in the world when they're with you. There's nobody else for you right now, than them. Don't treat them just like another nameless face in the flock. Jesus was a shepherd, and now He's called you to be one, trusting you with some of the sheep that He died for. Your children, your grandchildren, your church, your Bible study. All those people under your leadership. Is leadership worth the price you pay? Is it worth the sacrifices you make? Listen to the bottom line in 1 Peter 5:4 - “And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory, that will never fade away.”

Konnor Griffin will start his rehab assignment on Wednesday. Poni believes even at 20 years old and less than 100 games, he's overall one of the Pirates best players. He's a .270 hitter despite the 2 week slump after being promoted.
Like the mission NASA received from President Kennedy in 1962—“put a man on the moon before the end of the decade!”—our mission as Christians is also impossible. And we simply can't do it in our own human strength. But, the key is found in realizing that He CAN do it. When we finally come to the end of ourselves and our ability (realizing that we CANNOT), then we are prepared to allow God (the only One who CAN) the position of Savior, Deliverer, and Doer of the Impossible. He desires to do it in and through us. ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more resources, books, and sermons from Eric Ludy by going to: https://ellerslie.com/about-eric-ludy/

Today's Devotional "Assignment Brings You Into Alignment"lmjministries.org6/15/26
What is the assignment for our generation in this unique window of history? In this message, I use the story of God's call of Jeremiah to share seven key truths about the mantle we are called to take up as believers in this time.
In this sermon, Pastor Rick teaches that lasting fulfillment comes from discovering and pursuing God's purpose rather than chasing temporary success, relationships, possessions, or achievements. Using Jeremiah 29:11 and the life lessons of Solomon, he challenges believers to align their lives with God's assignment, recognize the influences shaping their purpose, and evaluate whether they are producing the results God intended.
DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?! TEXT US!Welcome to a new season of The Seek and Find Podcast. This season we are digging deep into God word through our lifestyle and testimonies in the outdoors. Obedience Brings Blessings!In this episode, Reese and Amber Richards dive into John 1:19–34, exploring the testimony of John the Baptist and the importance of knowing your God-given assignment. As religious leaders questioned John about who he was, he remained steadfast in his purpose—not to draw attention to himself, but to point others to Jesus, the Lamb of God. Together, we discuss what it looks like to walk in humility, remain faithful to your calling, and keep Christ at the center of your life and ministry. Join us as we unpack how John's example challenges us to live with purpose and boldly direct others to Jesus. Whether you're discerning your calling or seeking encouragement to stay focused on God's mission for your life, this conversation will strengthen and inspire your faith.Support the showPRAISE GOD! ✝︎Seek And Find Tv on YouTubeSeek And Find Tv on Carbon TvSponsors:Coffman Outdoors: E BikesBearded Outdoors USA:Beard Care ProductsNEW "In The Cabin" scent out now!OFB Veteran Fundraising BanquetInfo and Tickets to eventFREE Beard Care for veterans

In this excerpt from Office Hours, Pastor Amos uses a football analogy to explain that a "loss" or a closed venture (such as his Atlanta church) does not mean God did not call you to it. It may simply mean the venture was mismanaged and requires reviewing the "game footage" to learn from the experience and try again. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

It is critical for us to stay aware of God's current assignments in our life. This is important because when God ends one assignment and instructs us to undertake another, He removes His anointing from the old assignment and transfers it to the new one. If we miss the transition, He does not force us to stop the old assignment. He will allow us to keep going without His anointing. However, this is not a good situation for us because without the anointing, that same assignment that used to be fun and full of success will turn bitter, stress us out, and drive us to depression. __________ Samuel 9:15–16 KJV, 1 Samuel 10:1 NIV, 1 Samuel 11:1–2 NIV, 1 Samuel 11:6, 11 NIV, 1 Samuel 16:12–14 KJV, 1 Samuel 17:8–11 NIV, 1 Samuel 28:15–16 NIV, 1 Samuel 31:3–4 NIV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________
In 2017, five men digging in an open pit found the third largest diamond ever unearthed in West Africa. It was dubbed the Peace Diamond, in memory of the brutal civil war that had ravaged large parts of the region in the 1990s – a war driven in part by factions competing for control of the diamond trade. When the Peace Diamond sold for $6.5 million at auction in New York, the government pledged some of the profits would provide solar power, a clinic, a school and a road connection for the Sierra Leonean village where it was found. Each of the diggers and the pit's owner also got a small share of the spoils. Nine years on, Ed Butler returns to Sierra Leone to see how much the government kept their promise and to what extent the discovery really did transform the lives for those involved for better, or for worse. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Assignment.
In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Noah Herrin of Way Church of Nashville, TN, to talk about faith, obedience, and what it means to stay close to Jesus in every season.
