She was in the ocean with her daughter when something happened. She crawled out of the water, turned around, and knew the woman who walked in that day was not the same woman who came out. That moment became the foundation of everything she teaches about why the stories we're most afraid to tell are usually the ones our audience needs most. Elizabeth Brett is a former NBC television reporter and creator of Story Alchemy™ a methodology built to move entrepreneurs beyond performative storytelling and into messaging that actually lands. In this conversation, she and George unpack what it means to tell stories with purpose, the sovereignty filter for knowing what to share and when, and why your story goldmine is bigger than you think. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why most people aren't bad at storytelling, they've been taught to perform instead of connect The four false beliefs about storytelling blocking your greatest business asset The Story Alchemy framework: how to step into your next era without losing what made you The sovereignty filter: how to know if a story is truly ready to be shared What makes a story pivotal and why it doesn't have to be life-changing The before-pivot-after structure for any story, in any format Why emotional honesty, not radical vulnerability, is the real differentiator in an AI world Key Takeaways: ✔️Most people aren't bad storytellers. They got trapped in the version of themselves that created early success and that mask became the performance. ✔️Story Alchemy is both inner and outer work: the inner stories you're ready to shed, and the outer stories your audience needs to hear from you now. ✔️The sovereignty filter asks one question before you share anything: is this in integrity for me right now? If it's not, find out why and don't push past it. ✔️You don't have one or two stories. You have a goldmine. If one isn't ready, find another, there are more than you can imagine. ✔️A pivotal story doesn't mean life-changing. It means a before and after. A shift in perspective. Even something that happened at Whole Foods on a Tuesday can be a story. ✔️Story structure in its simplest form: take us into the moment before, articulate the shift, and show us what opened up after. That's it. ✔️Storytelling with purpose goes beyond connection. Authority stories show your expertise in real time. They don't tell, they demonstrate. ✔️The story you tell yourself in the mirror will radiate into every story you tell the world. You have to fall in love with the story of yourself first.

As Jesus continues teaching in the temple in Holy Week, the religious leaders demand that Jesus state His authority for acting and speaking in the manner He does. Marvelously evading their trap, Jesus sets a trap of His own as He asks about the source of John's baptism. When the religious leaders refuse to answer, Jesus refuses to answer their question directly. Instead, He begins a series of parables that shows the faithlessness of the religious leaders. Although they should have been sons of God, they have refused to listen to God by refusing the preaching of both John and Jesus, while notorious sinners have been welcomed into God's kingdom for receiving their preaching joyfully.  Rev. Kale Hanson, pastor at Zion Lutheran Church and School in Bethalto, IL, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Matthew 21:23-32.  To learn more about Zion Lutheran, visit zionbethalto.org. “The Reign of Heaven Stands Near” is a series on Sharper Iron that studies the Gospel according to St. Matthew. The first evangelist proclaims that God has fulfilled His Old Testament promises by sending Jesus to bring the reign of the heavens among us. As the Son of David, Jesus is the gracious King we need, and as the Son of Abraham, Jesus is the blessing to all the families of the earth.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Pastor Appel serves at Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL.

What does it really take to grow a family business, build a trusted local brand, and compete in a market full of short-term competitors?In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, Adam McChesney sits down with Angi Hess, Vice President and General Manager of Spas and More, to talk about family business, leadership, marketing, company culture, and the evolution of the health and wellness market.Angi brings more than two decades of retail experience, including 19 years in management focused on human resources, payroll, and P&L management. Around 2016, she transitioned into the day-to-day operations of Spas and More as her father's health began to decline.Founded by her father in 2006, Spas and More has grown into a three-generation family business serving customers across Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois.In this conversation, Adam and Angi discuss:• Transitioning from retail management into leadership of a family business• Building Spas and More into a recognizable local brand• Shifting the company's messaging from luxury products to health, wellness, and recovery• Expanding beyond hot tubs into swim spas, infrared saunas, and cold plunges• Competing against fly-by-night companies through trust, consistency, and local service• Using home shows and expos as a major customer acquisition channel• Managing advertising internally to stay connected to performance data• Understanding how economic and political uncertainty can affect consumer buying behavior• Expanding across a large multi-state territory while keeping delivery and service in-house• Creating a family-first company culture with competitive wages and employee benefits• Leading from the front and being willing to do any job required to support the teamAngi also explains why Spas and More made the decision to build its own brand rather than relying exclusively on the Master Spas name. By emphasizing in-house delivery, service, and long-term customer relationships, the company has been able to differentiate itself in a competitive market.She also shares how the business has evolved alongside changing consumer priorities, positioning hot tubs, swim spas, saunas, and cold plunges not simply as luxury purchases, but as investments in physical health, recovery, and mental well-being.

Live from ILTACON | Sponsored by Steno Legal AI isn't just creating new technology. It's creating new roles, new responsibilities and entirely new career paths. Live from ILTACON, David Cowen sits down with Leigh Zeiser, Director of AI and Automation at Troutman, to trace her journey from becoming one of the first Legal Process Engineers in the U.S. in 2018 to leading AI and automation today. Their conversation goes beyond titles. What happens when responsibility grows faster than authority and resources? How do you earn the trust to lead? And what separates the people waiting for the next opportunity from those creating it? Lee also shares what Troutman is learning as Generative AI adoption grows, why deterministic layers matter in legal, and how the firm's agentic AI platform, Athena, is evolving. In this episode: How new Legal AI roles are emerging in real time Why a title without authority and resources isn't enough What happens when AI adoption increases demand instead of reducing it Why career growth requires speaking up, not waiting to be asked How curiosity, accountability, trust and resourcefulness create opportunity Why "everybody owns AI" at Troutman Why deterministic AI may be critical to legal adoption How agentic AI is changing the way lawyers access tools and knowledge Why AI cost, token usage and responsible adoption are becoming leadership issues Chapters 00:10 | From Legal Process Engineer to Director of AI and Automation 01:33 | Eight Years of Emerging Legal AI Roles 02:20 | The Arrival of the Applied AI Manager 03:09 | Role, Responsibility, Authority and Resources 03:28 | Why AI Adoption Is Actually Increasing Demand 04:35 | How to Advocate for Authority and Resources 05:15 | Lead From Any Role 07:00 | Why Speaking Up Creates Career Opportunity 08:12 | Resourcefulness and Learning to Trust Your Talent 09:10 | Everything Is White Space: Don't Wait for the Assignment 10:29 | Why Everybody Owns AI 10:38 | Why Legal AI Needs Deterministic Layers 11:43 | What's Next for Legal AI in 2027? 12:08 | How Troutman's Athena Became Agentic 13:00 | AI Economics, Token Costs and Responsible Adoption 14:24 | Looking Ahead to SOLID Atlanta The Career Signal "You can't wait for anybody to assign it to you." Legal AI is creating white space across the industry. The roles, responsibilities and career paths are still being defined. The people who see an opportunity, step into it, earn trust and advocate for the authority and resources to execute may be the ones who define what these roles become.

In this powerful panel conversation I sit down with two incredible women from my mastermind community, Lori Pine and Stacey Salyer, for an honest conversation about what it really means to step into your authority as a leader. Both women bring decades of corporate experience (Lori ran a billion-dollar business; Stacey came out of the male-dominated property management industry) and are now navigating what it looks like to build their own brands and become the go-to authorities in their respective fields. We get into the responsibility of authority, why a casual "oh, I love her" can carry more weight than we realize, and how to have the tough conversations when someone isn't who they seem to be. We talk about Stacey's ego-driven belief that she could just make a course and have hundreds of thousands roll in, Lori's expensive coaching investment that felt like burning cash in a bonfire, and the "electric fence" moments that shaped who they are now. We unpack the "Cheesecake Factory of consultants" trap, why niching down is terrifying but necessary, and the bow-and-arrow metaphor that will change how you think about the restriction phase you might currently be in. Make sure to come back for Part 2, where we go even deeper into what it takes to lead at this level. Liked this episode?

The Doctrine of Balaam: Exposing Corruption in the Modern Prophetic Movement | KIB 547 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM: EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE MODERN PROPHETIC MOVEMENT Kingdom Intelligence Briefing — Episode 547 What does the biblical account of Balaam reveal about the modern prophetic movement? Balaam presents one of Scripture's most sobering examples of supernatural gifting separated from godly character.  He could encounter genuine supernatural revelation.  He could speak words God placed in his mouth.  He even delivered a remarkable prophecy concerning the coming Messiah.  Yet Balaam's supernatural experiences did not transform his character.  His heart remained vulnerable to money, honor, influence, compromise, and access to kings.  That creates a critical warning for the Church today: ·      Prophetic accuracy does not necessarily equal divine approval. ·      Supernatural power does not equal holiness. ·      Revelation does not equal character. ·      Gifting does not equal maturity. ·      Anointing does not equal obedience. Jesus taught that fruit remains essential in discerning spiritual ministry. In KIB 547, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake undertake a biblical examination of Balaam and discover that the New Testament gives us three powerful categories for understanding prophetic corruption: THE WAY OF BALAAM — 2 Peter 2:15 THE ERROR OF BALAAM — Jude 1:11 THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM — Revelation 2:14 Together, these passages provide a biblical framework for evaluating modern prophetic ministry. The episode examines how genuine or claimed spiritual gifting can become corrupted when joined with covetousness, ambition, political influence, celebrity, sexual compromise, financial manipulation, and the commercialization of spiritual authority. One of the deepest theological observations in the episode is this: Balaam wanted God's power without God's government. That same temptation remains possible today: ·      Prophecy without holiness. ·      Power without obedience. ·      Gifts without character. ·      Authority without accountability. ·      Revelation without Scripture. ·      Anointing without crucifying the flesh. ·      Kingdom authority without submission to the King. True biblical prophetic ministry cannot be separated from covenant faithfulness and obedience. THE WAY OF BALAAM Second Peter 2:15 identifies Balaam as one "who loved gain from wrongdoing." ·      The problem is not legitimate financial support for ministry. ·      The danger begins when money starts influencing ministry. ·      When access to a prophet is sold. ·      When prophetic words become commodities. ·      When larger offerings produce more favorable prophecies. ·      When invitations, platforms, donors, and political connections begin determining what a minister will—or will not—say. ·      At that point, the gift is being monetized. Biblical ministry may receive support, but God's gifts must never become merchandise. THE ERROR OF BALAAM Jude 1:11 exposes another dimension. A minister can begin assuming that because supernatural manifestations continue, God must approve of the minister's character and conduct. Balaam destroys that assumption. Something supernatural happening does not prove that God approves of the vessel. The question must move beyond: "Was the prophecy accurate?" We must also ask: ·      Does the ministry exalt Jesus Christ? ·      Does it submit prophetic claims to Scripture? ·      Does it produce holiness and repentance? ·      Does it strengthen covenant faithfulness? ·      Is there humility? ·      Is there financial and sexual integrity? ·      Is there meaningful accountability? ·      Are failed predictions acknowledged? ·      Does the ministry create dependence upon Christ—or dependence upon the prophet? ·      Does it produce mature disciples—or prophetic consumers? And perhaps one of the most important questions: Will the prophet speak the truth when doing so could cost the prophet money, popularity, political access, followers, conference invitations, or the entire platform? The episode contrasts Balaam with Micaiah, who was willing to suffer rather than alter the word God had given him. THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM Revelation 2:14 takes the warning even further. Personal corruption eventually becomes doctrine. Balaam discovered that he could not directly curse the people God had blessed. Instead, Israel was enticed into idolatry and sexual immorality. The pattern becomes: ·      Gift ·      Revelation ·      Opportunity ·      Desire for reward ·      Compromise ·      Rationalization ·      Prophetic corruption ·      Teaching others to compromise ·      Covenantal judgment The compromised minister eventually becomes an architect of compromise in others. DON'T THROW OUT THE TRUE BECAUSE OF THE FALSE This episode is not an argument for rejecting biblical prophetic ministry. Quite the opposite. The existence of counterfeit ministry makes biblical discernment even more important. Jesus places the doctrine of Balaam inside the Church in Revelation 2:14. The warning to Pergamum therefore provides a serious pattern for examining what the Church tolerates. The answer is not cynicism. The answer is testing. "Prove all things." Return everything to Scripture. Reject the false. Hold fast to what is good. And allow God to restore genuine biblical ministry. The closing message of KIB 547 is ultimately one of hope: God is preparing His remnant, exposing what is false, and calling His people back to Christ, His Kingdom, His Word, holiness, and covenant faithfulness.

In this week's episode, host Mike Horne explores how leaders can thrive amidst rapid change, ambiguity, and emotional turbulence. He emphasizes the importance of "calm authority"—a leadership style grounded in judgment, steadiness, and humanity—to create environments where people can perform their best despite uncertainty.   Key Points: Leadership is shifting from a focus on activity to a focus on judgment and environmental influence. Traditional leadership qualities can fall short in modern complexity. "Calm Authority" offers a disciplined and intentional approach to leadership. Leaders' emotional states influence the organizational climate. Leaders must create clarity even when the future is uncertain. Trust and effective conditions help teams perform at their best. The environment shapes both leadership behavior and organizational culture. Judgment, discernment, humility, and curiosity are qualities that cannot be outsourced.    Links:  Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike

What if the thing you've spent years trying to hide is actually the source of your greatest authority?Your story isn't valuable because it was dramatic. It isn't valuable because you suffered more than someone else. And it isn't valuable simply because you survived.It becomes valuable when you understand what those experiences changed in you—and then turn that understanding into something useful for someone else.In this episode, Kellan Fluckiger explores why your authority isn't what happened to you. It's what you became because of it.Key Takeaways:Why your story is more than a chronology of eventsThe difference between a memoir and the story of your becomingWhy your experiences are not emotional baggageHow surviving difficult experiences creates real-world authorityWhy your story may be exactly what someone else needs to surviveThe importance of examining what you thought then versus what you think nowHow choice, conflict, cost, revelation, and transformation make a story powerfulWhy your authority comes from what you became—not simply what happenedTurning lived experience into a framework that can help othersHow to transform private wisdom into public serviceWhy a book can become the foundation for products, programs, and servicesThe power of time compression when you organize what took you years to learnWhy survival alone isn't enough—you must turn survival into serviceHow your story can become both an impact vehicle and an income-producing asset

My dad had a giant church history timeline hanging in his office wall when I was a kid. And if you are a pastor's kid, you learn a lot watching how your parents handle the church member who shows up to run an inquisition. Somebody would come in and say, "You said X, but the biblical answer is not X," and Dad would point up at that timeline and start naming people. What about this guy? What about her? Eventually he would land on the line: "Look, I don't feel like cutting verses out of the Bible or saints out of our history." That is basically this whole conversation. Craig Allert teaches religious studies at Trinity Western University in Canada, he is a friend of Myron Penner (which is its own recommendation), and he has written two books that do the same work from different angles — one on the actual formation of the New Testament canon, and one on how the early church fathers read Genesis 1. The through-line is what D.H. Williams and Robert Louis Wilken call historical amnesia: we do not know who we are because we do not know where we came from, and the version we were handed is not the whole story. The real history turns out to be thicker, stranger, and considerably more invigorating for faith than the drop-out-of-the-sky version. Also, at some point I explain how modern scientific naturalism is a covert theology that kept the cathedral of creation and evicted God from it. Craig, generously, did not stop me. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Craig D. Allert is Professor of Religious Studies and Coordinator of the Christianity and Culture Program at Trinity Western University in Langley, British Columbia. He is a historical theologian specializing in early Christianity, patristics, and the formation of the New Testament canon. His books include A High View of Scripture? The Authority of the Bible and the Formation of the New Testament Canon ; Early Christian Readings of Genesis One: Patristic Exegesis and Literal Interpretation; and Revelation, Truth, Canon, and Interpretation: Studies in Justin Martyr's Dialogue with Trypho. JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together.

Some days it feels like there's a ton of different voices in your head—each one saying something different. Which do we listen to? One says, "Do this," while another says, "No, stay here," and then guilt, fear, or another emotion gets added to the mix. In this episode, we're talking about where those competing thoughts and emotions can come from and how to make sense of them without automatically believing, obeying, or shutting them down. We'll look at the different parts of our inner experience, why emotions, predictions, beliefs, and needs aren't all the same thing, and how our past experiences can influence what feels loudest in the moment. Most importantly, we'll talk about what it looks like to bring all of those voices before the Holy Spirit, allowing them to be heard without allowing them to lead. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN [00:00] Why It Can Feel Like You Have Conflicting Voices Inside [02:00] Understanding the Different Parts of Your Inner Experience [05:00] Emotions, Predictions, Beliefs + Needs Aren't All the Same [08:00] When Your Past Experiences Get Loud [10:00] Bringing Your Inner Noise to God Instead of Shutting It Down [14:00] Letting Every Voice Have a Seat—but Not the Head of the Table [17:00] Knowing What to Process With God + What to Bring to Someone Else [20:00] Taking Your Thoughts Captive Under the Authority of Christ RESOURCES: Emotional Confidence Club This month's Emotional Confidence Club topic goes deeper into how to make sense of the different voices inside, what to do when one voice gets especially loud, and how to discern what God may be asking you to do.

In all of history, no one has ever projected the authority that Jesus had. People were either drawn to Him, or they wanted to kill Him.  In this message from Hebrews 1, Pastor Lutzer describes how Jesus uniquely reveals who God is as God Himself.

If we hear God's voice and then let reasoning talk us out of it, what good is it? We must remember the enemy tempts us with reasoning. When reasoning speaks, there is a motive and a thought against the character of God intertwined with his words. When your mind demands control, it is difficult to hear God's voice. We have to be sure we want God's voice more than our own opinions. Christianity is not a mental religion. It is a deep connection to God with your heart. Hungering for God means you are searching for what He has to say more than what the world and the experts have to say. Even facts can lead you astray. God considered facts evil when the children of Israel refused to confront the giants in the Promised Land. They believed in the reality of the giants more than the reality of their God. Facts without faith are dead works. God is not impressed with the facts of our current reality. He is wanting His Voice to create a new reality in our lives.

What happens when we stop and think about the consequences of what we consume, believe, model, and allow to influence our lives? In this episode, the conversation starts with some laughs about magazines, pagers, Palm Pilots, Dolly Parton, and a trip to the Kentucky State Fair—but eventually turns toward a much bigger question: Are we teaching ourselves and the next generation how to think critically? The conversation explores critical thinking, self-awareness, cause and effect, parenting, social media, artificial intelligence, online influences, and faith. What voices are shaping our children? Who have we allowed to influence our own values? And are we willing to question not only what other people believe, but also what we believe ourselves? The group discusses the growing influence of social media and online personalities, the challenges parents face in monitoring what their children consume, and why simply giving kids rules isn't enough. Parenting requires both authority and influence—and that influence has to be modeled long before the teenage years. The conversation also connects critical thinking to Christian faith. Rather than accepting everything we see online—or simply assuming that something is true because it comes from a source we trust—we're challenged to ask questions, examine sources, recognize what we don't know, and develop wisdom alongside knowledge. Recorded in the context of a church community in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, this episode is a candid conversation about living faithfully and thoughtfully in a world where information, entertainment, social media, and technology are constantly competing for our attention. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, Christian, educator, church leader, or simply someone trying to navigate today's culture with wisdom, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. Topics include: Critical thinking and self-awareness Parenting in the digital age Social media and children Artificial intelligence and misinformation Cause and effect in everyday life Online influencers and role models Knowledge vs. wisdom Teaching children to ask questions Modeling the behavior we want our kids to learn Faith, values, and cultural influence Setting boundaries with technology Authority vs. influence in parenting The Kentucky State Fair and plenty of completely unrelated conversations along the way Listen in for an honest, funny, and sometimes challenging conversation about faith, family, parenting, technology, culture, and what it means to think for yourself while following Jesus.

Donald Trump's decision to launch military action against Iran raises a fundamental question: what happens when presidential war-making bypasses the constitutional checks designed to restrain it? Since joint U.S.-Israeli strikes began on February 28, 2026, 18 American service members have been killed and hundreds more wounded. This illegal war is a reminder that constitutional checks, professional statecraft, and rigorously vetted intelligence are not merely bureaucratic obstacles.

What if the call you've been waiting for is already coming from God?In this episode of This Is Kingdom, Grace, Talon, TJ, and Hollis dive into the For the Strength of Youth lesson, “You Are Blessed by Priesthood Keys and Authority,” and explore what it really means to answer God's call.From accepting and investing in Church callings to recognizing the small “errands” God places in our lives, the conversation is a reminder that service isn't just about what we accomplish for others—it's also about who we become in the process.The crew shares personal stories about callings, serving in wards, experiences in Tonga, and finding closeness to God during busy seasons of life. Sometimes God's call can feel like one more thing on an already-full schedule, but stepping into His work may be exactly where we find Him.This week's challenge: If you have a calling, invest a little more into it. If you don't, look for an opportunity to serve. When God calls, answer.This Is Kingdom is a Good News Brand podcast.

As followers of Jesus, we've been given spiritual authority to live on mission and bring His Kingdom into the world around us. Discover what it looks like to live aligned with Jesus and walk confidently in the authority He gives us.

Psalm 82 confronts us with a God who sees injustice and calls His people to see it too. In a world where power can be misused, where the vulnerable can be overlooked, and where justice can feel out of reach, this Psalm reminds us that God stands above every authority and holds every ruler accountable. What does it look like to live faithfully when the world around us feels anything but fair? Psalm 82 invites us to trust the God who judges rightly and to take seriously His call to defend the weak, care for the vulnerable, and pursue what is good. But Psalm 82 ultimately points us beyond the broken systems and imperfect people around us to the perfect King who is coming. Our hope isn't found in human power, political influence, or our ability to fix everything ourselves. Our hope is found in Jesus—the One who reigns with perfect justice, brings redemption where there is brokenness, and calls His people to live differently in the world. As we sit with Psalm 82, we're invited to ask not only, ""What's wrong with the world?"" but also, ""How is God calling me to live in it?"" Join us as we discover what it means to trust God's justice, reflect His heart, and live faithfully under the reign of Jesus.

Home Church QuestionsRead Mark 1:14-28“The Kingdom of God is at hand.” (1:15)1. The “Kingdom of God” was at hand because the King was present. What does this truth mean for you today and tomorrow?“Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.” (1:17)2. When did you get serious about your walk with Christ? Tell the story of when you decided to accept Jesus as your Savior. Was there a different time when you decided to follow Him as His disciple?“…astonished at His teaching”; “…amazed…the demons obeyed.” (1:22,27)3. Do you find yourself more captivated and intrigued by the powerful teaching of Jesus or the powerful works of Jesus?4. What is the difference between “being amazed” and actually “following”? “Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere.” (1:28)5. Why did the news spread? What lesson can we learn from this? What steps can I take to make it real?“Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” (James 1:22)6. What did you learn about God in this passage? How does this affect you?7. How are you encouraged or challenged by this passage?8. How will you respond to God this week? Missions FocusUPG FOCUS: The Kalu in BangladeshThe Kalu are a Muslim people group in Bangladesh with a long history in farming and traditional oil production. They follow Sunni Islam, and many rely on folk spiritual practices for guidance and protection. Although Scripture and gospel resources are available in their language, there are no known believers there. Pray that the Holy Spirit would draw the Kalu to Jesus, raise up disciple-makers from among them, and use both practical care and the gospel to reveal Christ's love.

The ancient Greeks believed the human soul had three parts: reason, appetite, and something called thumos. Thumos is difficult to translate into English. It encompasses anger, noble spiritedness, pride, ambition, a sense of honor, and the drive to act. The Greeks thought it was essential to living a life of manly virtue, and my guest thinks we could use a lot more of it.His name is Mike LeBlanc, and he's a decorated Marine, a Harvard Business School grad, a tech founder, and the author of What If Anger Is the Answer? Today on the show, Mike and I discuss how the angry energy of thumos can help you close the gap between who you are and who you should be. We discuss why physical training helps cultivate thumos, how it can be an aid in overcoming appetites, overthinking, passivity, and cynicism, and the role it can play in being an effective leader.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Article: Got Thumos?AoM Article: 10 Movies That Inspire ThumosAoM Article: Soundtrack for Your ThumosAoM Article: How to Make Anger Your AllyAoM Podcast #1,083: Good Anger — Harnessing a Misunderstood EmotionAoM Series: The Life of Jack London as a Case Study in the Power and Perils of ThumosConnect With Mike LeBlancMike's websiteMike on LinkedIn0:00 Introduction1:42 Meet Mike LeBlanc: Marines, Great Books & Robotics5:45 A Letter to His Son: What It Means to Be a Man8:07 Socrates' Metaphor: The Little Man, the Hydra & the Lion15:26 The Attributes of Thumos: Dignity, Pride & Shame17:36 Thumos and Action: The Soul's Three Parts at Work20:19 Thumos in Defending Boundaries25:31 Thumos and the Physical Body31:36 Thumos vs. Overthinking: The 70% Solution36:03 Thumos, Power & Authority in Leadership44:42 Overcoming Cynicism with Thumos49:46 Raising Boys with Thumos & Where to Find the BookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
