We discuss what makes a career in associations so rewarding, with 89% of association CEOs reporting high job satisfaction while also addressing the challenges leaders face, including exhaustion, conflicting priorities, and limited budgets. Sarah shares stories from her interviews with association leaders, highlighting the dedication, purpose, and community spirit that sustain them despite the obstacles. We also discuss what needs to change to attract and support the next generation of association leaders and how associations can position themselves as meaningful and viable career options.

Brad Wise is a husband, a father, a creative, and the founder of Boonrise - a video production company that exists to tell a better story through videos, experiences, and workshops that spark hope and action. Brad loves looking at things one way and asking if there's a better or different way to do it; this intrigue and passion started in his adolescence when, instead of writing a paper on the effects of steroids, he asked to do a video instead. What began as a way to make his friends laugh and do work he actually enjoyed has turned into creating space and content where people can share and listen to each other's stories. Brad shares, “When we tell our stories and we listen with kindness and imagination, something transcendent happens.” In this episode, Brad shares his own definition of creativity and art, and how everyone can belong within that world. Hear about a woman named Joan he could listen to for hours and the story she shared that is one of his favorites, what exactly Boonrise means, and why Brad and his team chose it for their organization, and what is next for their team and why he is excited for what's to come.

Have you ever gotten into something that you had every intention on hating? Neil and Christopher did just that with Bespoken spirits Bourbon and Rye. Can you reduce the aging process of whiskey down to just a few months and get a palatable and enjoyable product?

We have a special episode for you!! This week we had the privilege to record with Stu and Martin, the co-founders of Bespoken Spirits. With 7 different unique bottles to choose from, they have a bottle for pretty much everyone. The coolest thing about them is they use a proprietary technology to improve and shorten the aging process. Not only can they speed it up but also focus in on the flavors that come through. In the episode, we try the Straight Bourbon (aged a minimum 2 years before going through their process) and the Rye (aged a minimum of 3 months before going through their process). We could not believe how much flavor their process brings into whiskeys that would otherwise seem young. Listen in for our thoughts on the whiskey as well as our conversation with Stu and Martin. As always, thank you for listening and "Keep it neat friends".

The whisky industry is steeped in centuries of tradition be it here in the US, in Scotland, Ireland, and more recently in the 20th & 21st centuries in dozens of countries around the world.   The 21st century, however has brought on a new phenomenon: accelerated aging of spirit or, in the case of Bespoken Spirits, "craft aging". Will this new process replace centuries of tradition or live side by side it comfortably.   Listen in as Joshua and Jason have a deep conversation with Stu & Martin of Bespoken Spirits discuss this very topic.    ...as usual, have a seat, have a pour, and listen in. Unless you're driving. If you're driving, be smart and stay sober but be sure to listen into the conversation!

On this episode the boys lament the appearance of "Steve!" and drink two whiskeys from Bespoken Spirits a bourbon and a Rye.  Along the way they talk about pizza dough, Demanda, and Robby gives Cole bad news.  On WWN we read an article about the resurgence of American Whiskey in the EU and retalitory tarrifs.  On WWWYC we ask the question of what whiskey is the best on ice.

One quarter of self-professing Evangelicals believe that religious belief is a matter of opinion, not about objective truth. Although this sentiment has been expressed in a new way in our postmodern age, the question of objective truth has been asked throughout history. Even Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, “what is truth?” (John 18:38). On this episode, Jay, Ryan, and Matt discuss how the Bible and Christians throughout history have thought about truth, especially as it relates to the content of the Christian faith.Have questions or ideas for a future episode?

Roughly 40 percent of self-professing Evangelicals agree that God accepts the worship of all religions. They are not alone: many today believe that all religions are different but valid paths culminating in the same life after death. But the Bible paints a different picture, one that insists on the glory and singularity of Jesus Christ, the one mediator between God and man, and the plan that God is working through Christ to renew the world.

In this new series, Jay, Ryan, and Matt discuss some of the findings of Ligonier Ministries' State of Theology survey. About one third of self-professing Evangelicals believe that Jesus was a great teacher, but he wasn't God. Questioning Jesus' identity as fully God and fully man has deep historical roots. Why might this belief be so prevalent today, especially among those who claim to be Christians?

Francis Grimke turned down a university presidency to continue pastoring. He helped found the NAACP. And he had some prescient words for white churches in his day and in our own. His message was exceedingly simple – (1) preach, believe, love, share, and treasure the gospel; and (2) obey it with all of your might. Grimke's understanding of the church's role in broken hearts and a broken society has much to teach us today.

Amanda Berry Smith emerged from slavery and great hardship eager to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. She traveled to Britain, India, and Liberia to do just this: she worked with and supported churches, all the while proclaiming Christ to all who would listen. She later founded the first orphanage for black children in Illinois, funding it partially out of her own pocket. In word, Smith proclaimed true religion; in deed, she exemplified it.

Jay and Ryan are taking a break, so we begin a new series with Matt Gilleskie (our producer) flying solo. In this episode, Matt introduces you to Lemuel Haynes, a remarkable pastor and activist living during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Haynes was the first African American ordained in any religious body in America, the first to receive an honorary graduate degree, and a pastor of character, commitment, and intense hope in the Sovereign God.

Restrictions on gathering during the pandemic call for robust reflection on the church's life together. That's why Jay, Ryan, and Matt are investigating the theological and practical import of the physical gathering of the local church. This episode takes the theme in a slightly different direction than previous episodes in this series. Jay, Ryan, and Matt talk about the spiritual practice of feasting — not gluttony - but celebrating over a meal with friends. How does God work through such a practice? Is that even in the Bible?

Since its inception, CHBC has been known as a gathering of believers from diverse backgrounds of thought and culture. And, while such diversity is often a blessing; loving agreement in Christ between those who disagree politically presents unique challenges for pastoral shepherding. In this episode, Jay and Ryan discuss those challenges. They name the difficulties and the joys associated with pastoring a diverse congregation. They clarify other statements that the church has made on the riot at the Capitol. They discuss the "how" of communication (the means used to deliver a message). And they examine and explain their motives and intentions, which have guided their responses.Near the end of the episode, Pastor Jay references a sermon by Zack Eswine called, "What Does Jesus Say About God and Country?"

Restrictions on gathering during the pandemic call for robust reflection on the church's life together. That's why Jay, Ryan, and Matt are investigating the theological and practical import of the physical gathering of the local church. This episode builds on the conceptual foundation of the previous episode. Given that the physical gathering of the local church is essential to being a church and discipleship in the way of Jesus, what place do internet and digital media have in church? Can these complement the physical gathering of the local church? Do these detract from the life of the church? Jay, Ryan, and Matt try to understand the proper uses and limits of technology in the church's regular, gathered worship.Have questions or ideas for a future episode?
