Why is identity such a crisis in our culture right now? We’re constantly told to “live your truth,” “follow your feelings,” and “be whoever you want to be.” But what if our feelings aren’t always telling us the truth and what if real freedom is actually found somewhere else? Today, I have Dr. JP Foster, senior pastor at Faithful Central Bible Church and co-author (with Dr. Matt Williams) of the new book Finding Freedom in Jesus to discuss these "problematic" statements. The book walks through 21 key identity terms (created in Christ, restored in Christ, confident in Christ), paired with real testimonies and practical reflection questions to help truth move from head to heart.

November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25As we enter the Advent season, Pastor Todd Kaunitz launches a new series exploring the attributes of God revealed in the story of Christmas. In this episode, “Sovereign & Merciful,” we journey through Luke 1:5–25 and witness how God's divine nature is displayed in the lives of Zechariah and Elizabeth.Pastor Todd reminds us that what we believe about God shapes everything about us. Through the story of an aging priest chosen by God at a divinely appointed moment, we see the sovereignty of God—His absolute rule, His orchestration of every detail, and His power to accomplish the impossible in His perfect timing. Even in seasons of silence, waiting, or disappointment, God is at work for His redemptive purposes.We also see the mercy of God—His compassion toward the hurting, His attentiveness to the prayers of His people, and His tender kindness in giving Zechariah and Elizabeth a long-awaited son. Pastor Todd shows us that God's mercy is not only found in the blessings He gives, but also in the seasons He withholds, shaping us for a greater purpose than we could imagine.This message culminates in the announcement of John the Baptist—the one foretold by the prophets—whose life would prepare the way for the ultimate revelation of God's mercy: the coming of Jesus Christ.If you're walking through a season of waiting, distress, or wondering what God is doing, this episode will anchor your heart in the truth that God is sovereign, God is merciful, and God can be trusted.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

November 30th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:5-25In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Matt Darby kicks off our series, “Attributes of Advent,” by taking us deep into the story behind the story—the God who longs to be known. Advent means arrival, and in the arrival of Jesus we don't just discover a Savior—we discover the very heart, character, and nature of God Himself.Walking through Luke 1:5–25 and the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Pastor Matt reveals two attributes that shine brilliantly in the Christmas narrative: God's sovereignty and God's mercy. Through a faithful but barren couple, an unexpected priestly assignment, and a long-awaited angelic message, we see a God who rules over every detail and moves with relentless compassion.Pastor Matt shows us:God's Sovereignty over Seasons — Our waiting is never wasted. God orchestrates every chapter of our lives with purpose, even when circumstances feel silent or stagnant.God's Mercy in Our Suffering — He sees our obedience, acknowledges our hurt, and meets us with His presence before His provision.God's Sovereignty Over Every Detail — Nothing about Zechariah's moment in the temple was random; God had placed him precisely where he needed to be.God's Mercy in Hearing Every Prayer — Even long-buried prayers are remembered by the God who treasures the cries of His people.God's Sovereignty Over the Impossible — Age, biology, and limitation cannot hinder the purposes of God.God's Mercy in the Miracle — God not only gave Zechariah and Elizabeth a child—He gave them a prophet who would prepare the way for the Messiah.God's Sovereignty and Mercy in Our Doubt — Zechariah's unbelief didn't derail God's plan. God lovingly disciplines, but He never abandons. Doubt doesn't disqualify us—God's mercy holds us even there.Through this message, Pastor Matt calls us to see our own lives through the lens of who God truly is: a sovereign King writing every line of our story, and a merciful Father filling those lines with compassion, patience, and purpose.If you find yourself waiting, suffering, longing for the impossible, or wrestling with doubt—this episode will remind you that God is working in every season, hearing every prayer, and moving in ways far greater than you can see.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

By David Stephen who looks at AI companions in this article. There is a new guest essay in The New York Times, The Sad and Dangerous Reality Behind 'Her', stating that, "We received letters from users who told us that Kuki had quelled suicidal thoughts, helped them through addiction, advised them on how to confront bullies and acted as a sympathetic ear when their friends failed them. We wanted to believe that A.I. could be a solution to loneliness." "Regulation would start with universal laws for A.I. companions, including clear warning labels, time limits, 18-plus age verification and, most important, a new framework for liability that places the burden on companies to prove their products are safe, not on users to show harm. Absent swift legislation, some of the largest A.I. companies are poised to repeat the sins of social media on a more devastating scale." AI companions what could possibly go wrong? "Emotional attachment maximizes engagement. But there's a dark side to A.I. companions, whose users are not just the lonely males of internet lore, but women who find them more emotionally satisfying than men." Mind Assuming the map of the United States is the human mind. There are [stations in] states and there are means [or transportation to get across]. Some transportation can get from one state to the other, say a boat through some states bordering Lake Michigan or a boat to some neighboring costal states. However, in general, a boat may not get to several places within continental U.S. at least directly or easily. Meanwhile, trains would, vehicles would, jetliners would, even motorbikes and bicycles would. Now, if there is a conference in a state, attendees may arrive by different transport modes. As long as they are on time and arrived safely, it may not matter what mode was used. Once you're there, you are there. It may be possible that timing, cost, distance, channel [air, land, water], may decide factors but the objective is to get there. This is a simple and direct way to explain the human mind. Conceptually, all functions are destinations, obtained by the interactions of the components of mind. However, attributes determine the extents to which they interact. Simply, in the mind, there are stations and there are relays. Interaction of components occur at the stations, while transport take summaries of the last interaction to the next. Attributes are sometimes a result of the share of that set or station among the whole. So, stations and relays. In the human mind, whatever gets to a station is experienced. It may not matter the relay that brought it. A relay type could be reality of the external world. It could also be reality, from the virtual or digital sphere. It could also be internally driven, say by thoughts or memories. But if it gets there, then the experience is probable [given the attributes]. There are somethings that do not necessarily matter, at stations [or destinations]. Text on a screen, text on paper or text imagined. Image and sound too sometimes. However, for motion or video, it is different, for what is in reality and then what is viewed on a device. There are several feelings and emotional destinations that are possible by direct reality relays. For example, craving when food is seen or when the aroma comes across. There could also be craving when the food is seen on a screen. There could be craving too by imagination. These are all destinations and it is what gets there that decides. AI Companions AI companions delivering texts, images, audios and videos to several consumers are going directly to [destinations or] stations in the mind, for emotions and feelings. They are using different relays, but getting there however. They are also using attributes that grade those stations or destinations higher. Simply, they are going to destinations in the mind for affection, love, longing, support, togetherness, importance and so forth. While it is clear that the relays are not using the same paths as...

Struggling to convert marketing activity into predictable revenue? In this episode of Small Business Matters, Tim and Taylor Fulton welcome Keith Finger, founder and Chief Revenue Fixer of Revenue Insights. Keith breaks down why “more leads” is often a band-aid, how to hunt down the real breakdowns in the revenue journey, and why documenting processes and improving handoffs can outpace any new website or shiny tech tool. If you run an SMB or a B2B shop and want practical, systems-first thinking, you can apply this week — from fixing churn to building a sales culture that empowers people — press play. Keith explains how to stop shoveling more prospects into a leaky funnel, diagnose root causes (process vs people), and prioritize changes that produce sustainable revenue growth. Takeaways • Fix the root causes — not just the symptoms. Many revenue problems look like marketing or sales issues, but the real breakdowns often come from unclear processes, poor handoffs, or misaligned expectations across teams. More leads won't fix a leaky system. • Documented processes create freedom, not bureaucracy. Keith emphasizes that clear, repeatable processes help teams deliver consistently, reduce confusion, and allow leaders to step out of daily chaos. If it's not written down, it's not scalable. • Technology can't replace strategy. New tools won't solve foundational problems. Tech only accelerates what's already working—or exposes what isn't. Start with the workflow, not the software. • Sales leadership matters more than sales hacks. The most successful teams have leaders who coach, ask questions, encourage critical thinking, and foster accountability. A strong sales culture consistently beats short-term tactics. • Revenue is a full-company responsibility. The customer experience spans marketing, sales, product, and service. When each stage works in isolation, revenue suffers. When they're aligned, growth becomes far more predictable.

In this Leader Lounge episode, Martin discusses the Attributes psychometric profile, a tool that stack-ranks 41 human attributes. Martin focuses on attributes that often divide opinion or cause discomfort:Narcissism: Defined as the desire to stand out, be noticed, recognised, or adored. It is not the same as narcissistic personality disorder. A normal level of narcissism is in everyone and can fuel high-achieving behavior.Cunning: The ability to consider problems from unusual or unorthodox perspectives to achieve a goal. It is a strength for problem-solving, as the "cunning mind" questions rules and boundaries.Task Switching: The ability to shift among tasks and contexts effectively without delay (not the debunked myth of multitasking).Empathy vs. Compassion:Empathy: The ability to feel what someone else feels.Compassion: The ability to show sympathy and concern (appreciating how someone feels without feeling it yourself). Low empathy can be an asset when making difficult decisions.Humility vs. Vulnerability:Humility: Self-awareness of one's own strengths and weaknesses.Vulnerability: The willingness to share those strengths and weaknesses with others.Generosity vs. Selflessness:Generosity: Giving more than necessary; often involves mutual benefit/reciprocation.Selflessness: Placing others' needs above one's own, despite personal risk or detriment. Selflessness is unsustainable long-term and can lead to resentment.Martin concludes that high is not good and low is not bad; understanding your unique attribute stack is key to becoming more self-aware.Social Links Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/peopleperformancepodcast/LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/t2-thepeopleperformancepeopleTikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@peopleperformancepod

There was a day not long ago where a Google Chrome browser update left any page with a CodePen Embed on it throwing a whole big pile of red JavaScript errors in the console. Not ideal, obviously. The change was related to how the browser handles allow attributes on iframes (i.e. ). CodePen was calculating the appropriate values inside an iframe for a nested iframe. That must have been a security issue of sorts, as now those values need to be present on the outside iframe as well. We documented all this in a blog post so hopefully we could get some attention from Chrome on this, and for other browser makers as well since it affects all of us. And I posted it on the ol' social media: Huge thanks to Bramus Van Damme who saw this, triaged it at Chrome, and had a resolution within a day: I think the patch is a great change so hats off to everyone involved for getting it done so quickly. It's already in Canary and don't really know when it'll get the stable but that sure will be good. It follows how Safari is doing things where values that aren't understood are just ignored (which we think is fine and inline with how HTML normally works). Fortunately we were able to mitigate the problem a little until then. For most Embedded Pens, a is loaded on the page embedding it, and we dynamically create the for you. This is just nice as it makes making an accessible fallback easier and gives you access to API-ish features for the embeds. We were able to augment that script to do a little browser user-agent sniffing and apply the correct set of allow attributes on the iframe, as to avoid those JavaScript errors we were seeing. But there's the rub: we'd rather not do any user-agent sniffing at all. If we could just put all the possible allow attributes we want on there, and not be terribly concerned if any particular browser didn't support any particular value, that would be ideal. We just can't have the scary console errors, out of concern for our users who may not understand them. Where we're at in the saga now is that: We're waiting for the change to Chrome to get to stable. We're hoping Safari stays the way it is. OH HI FIREFOX. On that last point, if we put all the allow attributes we would want to on an in Firefox, we also get console-bombed. This time not with red-errors but with yellow-warnings. So yes, hi Firefox, if you could also not display these warnings (unless a reporting URL is set up) that would be great. We'd be one less website out there relying on user-agent sniffing.

I've discussed the concept of the narrow road many times and in many places, and today I want to take some time to look at this important idea from a big picture view. The narrow road is a mystery because truth, ultimately, is mysterious. That doesn't mean relativism or subjectivism, it means that fundamental reality, when you go deep enough, is very mysterious because God is that fundamental reality. * 00:00 - Introduction* 10:52 - The Devil* 19:50 - What is the Narrow Road? * 29:05 - Reality is Dualistic* 36:54 - The Mysteries of Faith* 53:13 - Christology* 1:23:22 - God's Attributes* 1:28:06 - Soteriology* 1:55:34 - Cosmology* 1:58:24 - God Resting* 1:59:43 - Eternity* 2:02:01 - Thanatology* 2:12:26 - Inversions This is a public episode.

What does it mean to be created in God's image? Genesis 1 reveals ten foundational attributes that define our humanity—dominion, creativity, the power of words, the dignity of work, righteous judgment, justice, and the unique design of male and female—along with the moral nature of God expressed through love, truth, and holiness. These attributes form the blueprint of our identity and reflect who God is and who we are called to be as His image-bearers.Though sin has distorted these attributes—turning creativity toward darkness, words into weapons, and judgment into condemnation—Christ restores what was lost. In part two of “Bearing God's Image,” Duane Sheriff explains that righteous judgment is part of God's design and that male and female reflect God's nature in a confused culture. When we understand these attributes, we see how every aspect of life either honors God's image or distorts it.

How do mountains, rivers, and stars whisper the secrets of Allah's most beautiful Names? What hidden meaning does the sun speak - not with words, but in ways every heart can feel? In this episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explores how the wonders of creation to reveal the touching reality behind Allah's Names and Attributes.

And what single mistake could distance you from the true path that the Prophets followed? Drawing from the book Fiqh al-Asma al-Husna by Sheikh Abdur Razzaq Al-Badr, Ustadh breaks down complex concepts into life-changing insights that will leave you seeing your Creator - and yourself - in a completely new light. The path of Ahlus Sunnah in Allah's Names isn't complicated. It's pure. It's safe. It's transformative. Are you ready to rethink everything you thought you knew? Are you sure you know what it means to truly recognize and honour the Creator? Then let the journey begin. But beware:  Once you taste this knowledge, you'll want more.

In this episode of the Thinking Talmudist Podcast on Bava Metzia 85a, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe delves into the profound theme of suffering, mercy, and redemption through the stories of Rebbe (Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi) and Rabbi Elazar ben Rabbi Shimon. Rebbe, inspired by Rabbi Elazar's preserved body due to accepted suffering, voluntarily endured 13 years of excruciating illness—six of tzmirta (a beet-based treatment for urinary stones) and seven of tzfarna (thrush)—to attain spiritual merit. Despite his stableman's wealth and the deafening noise of feeding animals to mask Rebbe's cries, seafarers heard his agony. Yet Rabbi Elazar's suffering was deemed superior: it “came through love and left through love,” while Rebbe's stemmed from a specific incident. A calf, led to slaughter, sought refuge in Rebbe's garment and wept; Rebbe dismissed it, saying, “Go, for this you were created.” Heaven responded: no mercy shown, no mercy received. Thirteen years later, Rebbe's maid swept baby weasels; he intervened, citing Psalm 145:9—“His mercy is upon all His works”—and Heaven declared, “Since he shows mercy, We will show mercy.” His afflictions vanished.The Gemara contrasts their merits: during Rabbi Elazar's years in the attic, no one died prematurely; during Rebbe's 13 rainless years, the earth stayed saturated—radish holes brimmed with water—proving the tzaddikim's pain sustains the world. Rabbi Wolbe highlights the mystical power of 13 (love, unity, the 13 Attributes of Mercy, Torah hermeneutics), noting Rebbe's 13-year ordeal mirrored this divine framework. Posthumously, Rebbe sought Rabbi Elazar's son—a stunningly handsome youth prostituted by harlots—and entrusted him to his uncle for Torah study. Though the boy initially resisted, he grew into a sage; Rebbe applied Proverbs 11:30—“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life”—to both teacher and student. Burial dramas underscored merit: Rabbi Elazar joined his father Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in the cave (earned by shared suffering), but his son was barred by a serpent—Heaven clarified it was due to lacking cave-endured pain, not lesser righteousness._____________The Thinking Talmudist Podcast shares select teachings of Talmud in a fresh, insightful and meaningful way.

When people stop replying. When doors stay closed no matter how many times you knock. Like many others, you probably return to one thing: You make wudu. You raise your hands… or you fall into sujood. “Ya Allah…” and instead of words, only tears come out. Because in your weakest moments, you need Him the most. You know that He's aware of what you've lost, what you've tried to hide, what still hurts. You realise He's the only one who truly knows you… but do you know Him? That's where this journey begins. Knowing the Names and Attributes of Allah - a new AMAU series where Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains Fiqh al-Asma al-Husna by Sheikh Abdur Razzaq al-Badr (حفظه الله). In this first lesson, you'll uncover why this knowledge is the foundation of Iman, why every prayer, every du'a, every act of worship stands or falls on how well you know your Lord. You'll learn what it truly means to have fiqh of Allah's Names, and how knowing Him transforms everything - your worship, your patience, your peace. Because once you truly know who He is… you'll never feel lost again.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Dave Berke is a retired US Marine Corps Officer, TOPGUN Instructor, and now a leadership instructor and speaker with Echelon Front, where he serves as Chief Development Officer. As a F/A-18 pilot, he deployed twice from the USS John C Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent three years as an Instructor Pilot at TOPGUN where he served as the Training Officer, the senior staff pilot responsible for the conduct of the TOPGUN course. Notes: July 2001: Plans Don't Survive Contact - Dave's Top Gun graduation exercise as flight lead. Wingman yells, "Showtime one-one break right!" - an F-5 snuck into formation. Dave was staring at the radar instead of looking out, had to fall out of formation, and ended up at the back instead of leading from the front. Mission successful, but nothing like he planned. Dave: "The outcome was still really good... except it was nothing like I thought it was going to be." Lesson: You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to do it. The most important attribute in a leader is humility. To be effective, you must be able to listen, learn, be flexible, and admit you're wrong sometimes. One of the biggest issues they deal with when working with leaders is ego and/or the inability to be humble. As leaders, we need to be self-aware enough to realize when our ego is getting the best of us. And surrounding ourselves with people who will help us know when that is happening as well. Be Fluid with Plans, Deliberate with Outcomes - Be really fluid and loose with plans, but deliberate about aligning the team on outcomes. Dave grew up as a control freak, OCD planner. Dave: "In life, it's just not how life works... If you can align on the mission and outcome, and you are very open-minded that there are a lot of different ways to get there, you're far more likely to be successful." The military saying, "The enemy gets a vote." Ryan's quarterback coach after an interception: "He's on scholarship too, you know?" Process: How You Create It Matters Most - Process is important, but how you create it matters most. If you agree on the outcome, the conversation should be less about agreement, more about "When you talk about step one, what are you thinking? How does this lead to step two?" The process has to be organic. When you create it, you're more likely to maneuver around challenges. Book Dedication: Chris and Kat - Book dedicated to Corporal Chris Leon and his mother, Kat. Chris was a radio operator on Dave's 13-man Anglo team. June 20, 2006, Chris was killed by an enemy sniper in Iraq - first Anglican Marine killed there. Dave's son is Matthew Leon Burke - took Chris's last name. Chris's mom Kat is Aunt Kat to Dave's family. Dave: "I always say I really deep down wish I didn't know Kat, because that would've meant Chris came home and life just went on. But that's not what happened." Chris taught bravery. Kat taught strength. Top Gun Reality: It's About the Team - 1986 Top Gun most impactful movie on Dave's life at 14. But the movie depicts a lone wolf. Marine Corps teaches: Your contribution to the team matters most. A really good pilot who's self-centered will do more damage than a slightly less capable pilot who's a real team player. Dave: "If there's ever a team sport, it's going into combat... It's not about you. It's about the team." Trust: Action, Not Description - Echelon codifies relationships: Trust, respect, listening, influence. Trust is the cornerstone. Dave: "If you don't trust me, I could be good at so many things. If there is a trust gap, there's going to be a problem in the relationship and team." Trust is action you take.  Ego: The Universal Challenge - When Echelon works with companies, challenges are almost always connected to ego. Dave: "Our egos tend to wreak havoc at each level of organization." From birth, the ego drives us down the wrong path. When debating plans, ego says, "You're right, he's wrong." Building good leadership is managing egos. Dave: "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes, humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that." Humility Enables Everything Else - Dave worked with the biggest, toughest SEALs. Attribute most critical to success: humility. Ability to listen, learn, be flexible, change, admit you're wrong, and go with someone else's plan. It even affects fitness. Humility touches everything. Doesn't diminish other attributes, but allows you to strengthen them.  Teaching Humility: Subordinate Your Ego - You can't tell someone with a big ego to be humble. Dave: "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it." Most counterintuitive thing: If you clash with Ryan, Dave has to subordinate his ego to Ryan's. Lower your ego: "Hey Ryan, I've been pushing back hard, I realize I'm not listening." Natural reaction: Ryan's ego starts to drop. Over time, collaborate more. You connect success to the ability to control the ego. Dave: "Humility is the measurement of how much control you have over your ego." What you give is usually what you get. It's reciprocal. Care About Team More Than Yourself - When your people see you working hard to clear paths or block an egomaniac boss, they'll run through walls for you. Outcome of a good relationship: You care about the team, the team cares about you. That selfless act shows you care about them more than yourself. Dave: "That's how you show that you care about them more than yourself, and that's what a leader's job is, to care about the team more than you care about yourself. That's parenting, that's marriage." Extreme Ownership - Book Extreme Ownership changed Dave's understanding. When you take ownership, take ownership of everything. Caveat: Not things you literally don't control. But you have ownership over everything, even just how you react. After Chris was killed, Dave said, "That's war, nothing we can do." Problem: When he embraced it wasn't his responsibility, it meant he didn't have as much to change. Should have asked: "What is everything we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again?" The tendency is to undershoot ownership. Try to take it to the extreme. If you can take ownership of everything you can control, you get more influence over the outcome. Detachment: A Superpower - Dave: "Detachment is a superpower" - (1) almost nobody can do it, and (2) if you can, it's massively influential. Detachment is being in control of emotions. When overwhelmed with priorities and pressures, you tend to get emotional. When you react emotionally, you make bad decisions. Learn the skill of detaching - not to be devoid of emotion (we're human), but don't let emotions dictate. Get Away from Problems to See What's Causing It - When a problem occurs at work, you tend to focus on it, go into it. It seems good but is often wrong. You should get away from it, detach. Getting away lets you look around and see what's really causing it. Military example: The enemy is shooting at you; the tendency is to focus on that. Usually bad because they're hoping you do - then they send a flanking maneuver. If you detach, step back, you'll see the flanking maneuver coming. Be able to see the future - that's the superpower.  Know Your Red Flags - Intervene Early - You have to understand where you are escalating your emotions. Know your personal red flags. Most people don't go zero to 100. Long day, flight delayed, bad meeting - little things tick up, so zero is actually 4 or 5, which means dirty dishes put you to 7. When Dave gets frustrated, traps tighten up. Some people's nose turns red. If you're at level 8 and someone says, "calm down," it makes it worse. But if at level 1 or 2 and you intervene, you're in control. What an adult does: "I'm an emotional guy, but I have awareness of where I am. If I'm a 4, I gotta intervene then." If at level 10, detaching is not gonna happen. That's the difference between kids and adults. Dave: "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." Quotes: "You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to go about doing that, because things get in the way."  "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes. Humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that."  "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it."  "Detachment is a superpower."  "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." 01:16 Introducing Dave Burke 02:21 Dave Burke's Top Gun Experience 05:23 Lessons Learned from Military to Everyday Life 07:56 The Importance of Flexibility in Leadership 13:07 The Need to Lead: Dedication and Personal Stories 16:58 The Realities of Teamwork in Combat and Business 21:03 Building Trust and Relationships in Teams 26:04 The Role of Humility in Effective Leadership 31:03 Understanding Ego and Humility 31:50 Subordinating Your Ego 33:38 Challenges of Teaching Humility 34:07 Personal Experiences with Ego 39:20 The Power of Ownership 42:57 Detachment as a Superpower 52:58 Advice for Young Leaders 57:26 Conclusion and Key Takeaways  

Sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church

Sunday evening sermon from the pulpit of Falls Baptist Church.

Attributes of God

Nic Espanet is the founder of Flex Equity Group and host of the Flex Forward Podcast. After two decades as a physical therapist, Nic transitioned into real estate—starting with passive investments before becoming a lead general partner. He's now led eight out of ten multifamily deals across Texas, with a focus on operational systems, investor communication, and market strategy. Through his podcast and syndication work, he helps others build freedom through clarity, consistency, and resilience.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Start as a passive investor to learn best practices and build trust. Your first GP deal might require sacrificing equity to gain credibility. Raising capital today is about thoughtful follow-up, not just email blasts. Real estate's control and tangibility make it more appealing than stocks. Take fast action with underperforming property managers—delay can cost you.     Topics From Healthcare to Real Estate Nic spent 20+ years in physical therapy before pivoting to real estate. Originally planned to invest in single-family homes before discovering multifamily. His first steps were as a passive LP, which taught him how great GPs operate. The GP Transition Joined a Dallas real estate network to meet experienced sponsors. Partnered with a seasoned operator for his first deal and earned credibility through effort. Built his own investor systems based on what he appreciated as an LP. Capital Raising in Today's Market Early deals filled in 2–3 days. Now it often takes weeks of phone calls and reminders. Uses GoHighLevel CRM to track interest, follow-ups, and conversations. Avoids texting new investors due to new legislation (SB140 in Texas). Lessons From the Field During COVID, personally took over a failing asset and drove occupancy from 70% to 90%. Now focuses on Texas secondary markets with population growth and minimal new supply. Attributes success to consistent communication, team alignment, and market adaptability.
