When Saul first came to Jerusalem to meet with the Apostles, they initially didn't trust him because of his past history of persecuting the Church. Barnabas, whose name means “son of encouragement,” advocated for Saul to them. He championed Saul's calling as an Apostle to the Gentiles, and later sought Saul's help in the revival at Antioch.

Dr. Jack Peebles | Ecclesiastes 4:1–12The Teacher says that in a world of pressure, comparison, and quiet loneliness, life “under the sun” can leave us isolated - even among others. Companionship is a gift, but it cannot satisfy our deepest longing for meaning. It points us beyond ourselves to the God who alone gives life its purpose.

Following God was never meant to be a solo journey. Discover why community isn't just a nice add-on to the life of a Jesus follower — and what it might be costing you to go it alone.

Exhaustion. Fatigue. Lack of Motivation. Apathy. Overwhelm. How do you know if you're burnt out – or if you're just dealing with hormones? Because we know that sometimes the two can feel like the same thing! Today I'm joined by Gina, who is calling in to process whether she's burnt out from a demanding career in full time ministry over many years without a break, or because she's in the middle of menopause? Which one is it, and how do you know the difference? And then – what do you do about it? We process how to differentiate between the two, as well as some of the overlaps between the two – and then we end with some practical advice, suggestions, and next steps for her as she commits to getting her body back to baseline and learning to care for her soul. Listen to this entire episode, and share with someone you know who might be in the thick of it right now!

Join Kosta and his guest: Chad Gilbert, Cookeville City Council Member and Candidate for Cookeville City Council.In this episode: Less than 30% of registered voters in the City of Cookeville vote. As a sitting City Council Member and Candidate, what's your message to the 70% of Cookevillians who don't see the purpose or benefit in voting? Why does local government matter? As we said in the introduction, you're a current member of the Cookeville City Council, you've served for the past 4 years, and are now hoping to serve another 4. What do you see as your greatest accomplishment and what's still left to be done? One of the loudest concerns I'm hearing from voters in this election cycle is about jobs. We're bringing in hundreds of new jobs with large retailers like Home Depot, Target and In-N-Out Burger, but these are the same low wage careers we've provided our workforce for decades. How do we bring high paid, skilled professions to Cookeville? Find out more about Chad's Campaign for Cookeville City Council:https://chadgilbertforcookeville.com/Register to vote, check your registration or update your voter registration: https://sos.tn.gov/govotetnImportant Putnam County Election dates and information:Putnam County General Elections will be held on August 6th with early voting from July 17th to August 1st.All early voting takes place at the Putnam County Election Commission on 705 County Services Dr, Cookeville, TN 38501.For more information visit on Putnam County polling locations visit: https://putnamcountytn.gov/election-commissionBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy.Find out more about Aspire Barber and Beauty Academy:https://aspirebarberandbeauty.com

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. I was talking with Kristiane Roca, EE's National Director of Bolivia, and she shared something encouraging: “We are currently training local churches. We are quite immersed in the implementation process, actually accompanying the churches one by one. As a result of this work that is being done, many churches have started wanting to unite to even go out and evangelize as a group.” I love that picture. You know, sometimes we think sharing our faith is something that we do alone. But throughout Scripture, we see believers serving and witnessing together. There's something powerful that happens when churches unite around the Gospel. So let me encourage you—join other believers in sharing the Gospel. Go with a team, your community group, or a discipleship class. And watch what God does. To get involved in seeing the Gospel go to nations like Bolivia, visit ShareLife.Today.

Join Kosta and his guest: Brett Knight, criminal defense attorney, pastor and author of From the Gavel to Grace: Setting People Free From Addiction and Into Healing. In this episode: The symptoms of addiction begin long before the actual addiction. We've hosted many guests in and around the recovery community, and the throughline is: there's always more to the story. What do you hope readers will learn about the complexity of both addiction and recovery? One of the central themes of From the Gavel to Grace is that punishment alone fails. Alternatively, compassion without structure collapses. Accountability and mercy aren't opposites. As an attorney and pastor, what do you wish more people understood about what it actually takes to change behavior? The book speaks to three very different audiences: families, the legal system, and the faith community. Did you find the message had to evolve depending on who you were writing to, or is the core the same for all three?Find out more about Brett Knight:https://brettknight.com/Purchase From the Gavel to Grace: Setting People Free From Addiction and into Healing on Amazon:https://amzn.to/4ahC5WWBetter Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.This episode of Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is made possible by our partners at Miss Sallie's Market.Find out more about Miss Sallie's Market:https://www.misssallies.com

What does it look like to open a door that changes everything?In this episode of Undercurrents, we trace the remarkable story of how Canada became a world leader in refugee welcome — and why that legacy matters more now than ever.Host Ken Ogasawara sits down with Mike Molloy, retired Foreign Service officer and one of the architects of the world's first private refugee sponsorship program, to hear how a small clause buried in a 1976 immigration act became a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the Indo-China wars. And how MCC became a foundational partner in making it all work.We also hear from Kaylee Perez, MCC's Global Migration and Resettlement Strategic Initiatives Lead, who brings both professional expertise and deeply personal roots to this work. Her insight: the antidote to fear is proximity.Together, their stories remind us that welcoming the stranger isn't a radical idea, it's foundational to our faith expression.In this episode:Why Bill Janzen's "drop the rope" approach to government negotiation built something extraordinaryWhat Hearts of Freedom — 170+ interviews with former refugees — reveals about gratitude, belonging, and Canadian identityWhy 66% of Canadians still support refugee welcome, even if you'd never know it from the comments sectionHow the We're Better Together campaign is equipping everyday people to shift the conversation in their own communitiesThe data is clear.

We're pairing up our favorite attractions, restaurants, lounges, and experiences from across Walt Disney World to create the ultimate theme park duos. These are the combinations that just belong together—whether it's because of their theme, location, storytelling, or simply the way they complete one another. We travel through all four parks, matching iconic attractions with the dining and experiences that elevate them even further. From grabbing a drink at Beak and Barrel after sailing through Pirates of the Caribbean, to enjoying Garden Grill before a relaxing ride through Living with the Land, we discuss the pairings that have become must-dos for us over the years. Along the way, we share why Jungle Cruise and Skipper Canteen are the perfect Adventureland combo, why Expedition Everest and Yak & Yeti feel like they were made for each other, and how attractions like Rise of the Resistance, Frozen Ever After, Flight of Passage, and Kilimanjaro Safaris become even better when paired with the right food, drink, or experience nearby. We also debate some underrated combinations, revisit a few classic favorites, and ultimately rank our Top 5 Theme Park Duos from the entire list. Will Pirates and Beak and Barrel take the crown? Can Garden Grill and Living with the Land claim the top spot? Or will an Animal Kingdom favorite climb to the top of the rankings? If you're planning your next Walt Disney World vacation or just looking for new ways to experience the parks, this episode is packed with ideas to help you create your own perfect Disney pairings.

Over the past few weeks, we've explored protein, carbohydrates, and fats individually. This week, we're bringing it all together and looking at how these three macronutrients work as a team.It's easy to label foods as "good" or "bad," but your body wasn't designed to run on just one macronutrient. Protein helps build and repair, carbohydrates provide energy, and fats support everything from hormone health to nutrient absorption.The real magic happens when they work together.Join us as we wrap up our macronutrient series and discuss why balance, not restriction, is often the key to building meals that keep you satisfied, energized, and feeling your best. ✨

What does it mean to be a people marked by prayer? In this episode of In All Things, Dave Strunk, outgoing Moderator of the 45th General Assembly and Thursday morning worship speaker, reflects on the theme of prayer through the story of Hezekiah and Isaiah. Drawing from scripture and his experience serving the EPC, Dave offers encouragement for leaders and churches to seek the Lord with humility, dependence, and trust. As we gather for General Assembly, this conversation reminds us that our strength as a church is found not in ourselves, but in the Lord, and that we are “Better Together” when we come to Him in prayer.

Where is God in the middle of our pain and brokenness? Where is God in our trauma and tragedy? That's a real question that Jermaine Wilson had to face as a young man in his 20s – facing years in prison, and months in complete isolation. Jermaine's avoidance of his pain, led him down a life of more pain – facing prison at the age of 15. He spent over seven years in prison, much of that in complete isolation – where he was FORCED to face his pain in a way many will never have to. Where is God in the middle of our pain? Where is God when we cry out to him in our lowest moments? Does He even hear us? Does He even care? Jermaine's story of pain and wrestling with God will challenge you, and it will bring you to tears to see the hand of God in the middle of some serious and heart-wrenching pain. You will see God show up in ways you couldn't have imagined – and it will give you hope in your own pain. Jermaine's story is a reminder of the pain and brokenness that's happening every day behind closed doors – and a powerful look at the church INSIDE and what God is doing even in the most darkest places.  Friends, this on-air counseling session is especially meaningful to my heart – because my family and I are spending the weekend serving with Prison Fellowship at their Angel Tree Sports Camp, and getting a front row seat into what God is doing in some of the most difficult pain people are enduring.

PCSing isn't just about moving boxes or checking off a to-do list.  It's about navigating uncertainty, waiting on timelines, and learning how to move forward when you don't have all the answers yet.  In this first episode of the PCS Survival Series, we're starting at the very beginning: The Waiting Game. That space between knowing a move is coming… and actually having orders in hand. It's the part where: • You can't fully plan • You don't have clear timelines • And everything feels a little up in the air For many military spouses, it's one of the most mentally and emotionally exhausting parts of the entire process. In this episode, we talk about: • Why uncertainty feels so difficult during a PCS • The mindset shift from control → acceptance • How to make plans (without holding too tightly to them) • Letting go of perfection, especially when it comes to your home and belongings • Why your nervous system needs support during transition seasons • And how to stay grounded when nothing feels certain If you're in the middle of a PCS (or know one is coming), this episode is for you.

Today on the show I'm joined by Angie, who's greiving the fact that her adult daughter went “no contact” recently, withdrawing from family activities and isolating her daughter from seeing her grandma. Angie is grieving both the loss of her relationship with her daughter as well as her granddaughter, and wondering if there is anything she can do to move toward reconciliation and connection. I talk her through the building blocks of a safe relationship,what she can and what she can't do, and what it means for her to work on creating a space of safety and security for her adult daughter and their relationship with one another, even through their differences. According to Angie, their differing political views have kept her daughter away, so we spend some time talking about navigating the difficult territory when there is a stark contrast of views and perspectives between two people, whether politically, theologically, or otherwise. This episode is more important in this generation and culture than it ever has been before, so take the time to listen, process, and learn alongside Angie.

In addition to the fairgrounds, we've completed and opened the Putnam County Convention Center, with the new Expo Center under construction. How do you see the new location impacting our fair's success for the next 100 years? For most of us we walk through the gate and have no idea what it takes to make that happen.

Today on the show I'm joined by Melissa who is calling in to get help dealing with her anger issues. She's noticing that her anger outbursts are getting less controlled, and has noticed losing her temper in the car as well as in public – at the bank, for example. She's not sure where these patterns of anger have come from, and she feels like she's tried everything to try and break free from her anger with no success. We process what her anger means, what emotions it represents, and then we look for trigger patterns to trace what may be the underlying root of her anger issues. We make some serious progress in this session, as I help her track the underlying issue that's been holding her back. If you struggle with anger, listen to this episode and start putting the pieces together in your own life so that you can respond to the signal of anger instead of simply reacting to it.

Sensitive Content Disclaimer: The following conversation includes sensitive information, covering themes of abuse. Today on the show I am joined by my friend Tim Ross for an on-air counseling session as we process the concept of vulnerability in relationships. What does it mean to be vulnerable? I guide him through the analogy of seeing vulnerability like a pool – equipped with both a shallow end and a deep end. Vulnerability means to go first, to take that first jump, and to invite people to the deep end of your life, and share authentically. He opens up about the moment that changed everything for him, where he decided that he will never keep a secret again, and his journey toward being open and honest in every part of his life. We process through both the benefits and the risks of vulnerability, how to find friends who are willing to go there, and why being open and honest is not a gender thing – it's an invitation to all. This episode is filled with lessons to learn and things to process about your own life, and what holds you back from sharing authentically. Don't miss this on-air session, and then go deeper with your relationships by grabbing a copy of People Skills.  The Debra Fileta Counselors Network: Book a counseling session at the Debra Fileta Counselors Network and get started on your healing journey from the inside out TODAY!
