They discuss practical ways small business owners can start using AI, including training agents on SOPs, integrating with existing tech stacks, and focusing on high-impact use cases first.

The Lord's Prayer may be the most familiar prayer in Christianity—and the most overlooked. In this episode of InContext, Michael Easley sits down with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson of Walking the Text to uncover the depth, power, and biblical context behind the prayer Jesus taught His disciples. Drawing from years of study in Israel, pastoral ministry, and personal experiences of grief and suffering, Brad and Nelson show how the Lord's Prayer is not just something Jesus taught—it's the prayer He lived. From Exodus imagery and the “heavens” language to forgiveness, grief, and the kingdom of God, this conversation reframes the prayer as a daily blueprint for discipleship. Whether you've prayed the Lord's Prayer for decades or rarely stop to think about its meaning, this episode invites you to hear it with fresh ears—and to rediscover how it shapes our understanding of God, ourselves, and our purpose in the world.

Are you a military member planning to transition in the next 1-3 years? Tired of being told to "max out your TSP" and wait until 59½ to access YOUR money?Former military officers David Befort and Paul Fugere know exactly what you're going through—because they've been there. They faced the same financial handcuffs, the same "conventional wisdom" that keeps your wealth locked away when you need it most.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the TSP/401(k) might be costing you opportunities during your transitionHow to build a "bridge" from military to civilian life with accessible capitalThe truth about the Survivor Benefit Plan (and a better alternative)How to create your own banking system using dividend-paying whole life insuranceReal numbers: Why putting $416/month into SBP might be leaving $1.75 million on the tableThis is NOT about choosing between investing OR insurance—it's about having BOTH, with one critical difference: access to your capital when opportunities arise, emergencies hit, or you simply want to live your life on your terms.The Military-Specific Challenges They Solve:✅ "I want to leave the military, but I can't afford to lose the paycheck"✅ "I have money in TSP, but I can't touch it without penalties"✅ "I'm worried about finding the right job after transition"✅ "I need life insurance before the VA destroys my insurability"✅ "I'm tired of being told what I can't do with my own money"ABOUT YOUR HOSTS:David Befort separated from active duty in 2014 after serving as a military pilot. Four years before separation, he discovered Infinite Banking and built three whole life policies that gave him the financial freedom to be selective about civilian opportunities—not desperate. He turned down the military bonus money (the "golden handcuffs") because he had created his own capital to bridge the transition. Today, he helps military families build the same financial freedom he created for himself.Paul Fugere retired after 20+ years of military service, having discovered Infinite Banking during his final years in uniform. He watched colleagues become "28-year lieutenant colonels" who couldn't afford to retire because they'd locked all their wealth in accounts they couldn't access. Paul capitalized his own policies and transitioned with confidence, knowing his family had liquidity, not just paper statements.

Alli, who holds a seminary degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and just also released Spirit-Led Bible Study in February 2026 (this month!), breaks down how loneliness isn't about the quantity of relationships but the quality and variety of connection. Join us as we discuss how understanding these five relationship types can transform your marriage, friendships, and sense of belonging, and why so many of us are drowning in loneliness despite having more ways to connect than ever before. Christa also shares exciting updates and contests. Plus, we're giving away 5 copies of Alli's book Blueprint for Belonging.

In this episode, Julian is joined by Justin Fitzpatrick, former Irish international rugby player turned business CEO and creator of the Resilient Leaders Playbook. With 26 caps for Ireland and a Heineken Cup winner's medal with Ulster in 1999, Justin shares the hard-won lessons from his playing career and how they translate into building resilient teams in business. From handling the brutal highs and lows of professional sport to navigating his forced retirement through injury in 2010, Justin offers candid insights on what it really takes to bounce back — including his favourite Churchill quote: "If it's not fatal, it's not final." The conversation explores the power of pre-mortems over post-mortems, why feedback is simply "a vehicle to improve," and how psychological safety isn't about being soft — it's about creating environments where people can challenge each other and grow together. Justin also reflects on his transition from player to coach to CEO, building a professional rugby franchise in Houston from scratch, and why doing things that "make your heart sing" has been the thread running through every chapter of his career. Whether you lead a sports team or a business team, this episode is packed with practical wisdom on resilience, identity, and what it means to keep contributing when things go wrong.

Send a textHow do you guard your heart without turning intimacy into something tense, controlled, or exhausting?In this episode, Chelsey clarifies a critical distinction many Christian wives miss: biblical guarding is not the same as control. While Scripture calls us to guard against the flesh, the world, and the enemy, guarding was never meant to replace trust in God—or become a form of fear-based management.This episode teaches how to protect intimacy from a place of authority, peace, and right order—without hyper-vigilance, micromanaging, or emotional exhaustion.Inside this episode:The difference between guarding and controllingWhy fear-based vigilance damages intimacyHow heart posture determines whether guarding brings peace or pressureWhat biblical stewardship actually looks like in marriageHow to protect intimacy without becoming the Holy SpiritIf guarding your heart has started to feel heavy, anxious, or exhausting—this episode will reset your framework and restore peace. Support the showChelsey Holm | the Wife Coach "I help Christian wives surrender fully, live Spirit-led, and be set apart according to God's design in marriage, motherhood, and life."Ready for a next step? If this episode stirred something deeper and you're ready to move from insight into surrender, I created a short guided experience called From Awareness to Surrender. This mini course includes three short teachings, a guided exercise, and a prayer recorded over you to help you stop cycling and start responding differently—rooted in surrender, not striving.
Women in the ChurchGod's Blueprint for a Healthy Church1 Timothy 2:9-15Billy PoeWestside Chapel | February 15, 2026
When two companies merge, the announcement typically focuses on synergies, market share, and shareholder value. What gets far less attention, until it becomes a problem, is the intricate work of actually integrating two distinct organisations into a functioning whole. At the heart of this challenge lies something seemingly mundane but absolutely critical: policies and procedures. The integration blueprint for any merger or acquisition must address not only systems and structures, and also the fundamental question of how work gets done. It's here, in the weeds of operational detail, that many integrations stumble.

In this episode of The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, REB's Alex Whitlock sits down with Nick Georges, industry veteran and director of growth at the Wingman Group, to explore how innovation, relationships, and strategic thinking are reshaping property management. Whitlock and Georges unpack the widening gap between traditional approaches and next-gen operators, the influx of professionals from adjacent industries, and why tech-enabled, proactive property managers are becoming essential partners for investors. They reveal how property managers can add real value, beyond rent collection and maintenance, by aligning with owner goals, identifying investment opportunities, and maintaining regular, strategic communication. They also discuss how thoughtful, relationship-driven approaches can transform a rent roll into a scalable, saleable asset, and why those who embrace innovation are best positioned to thrive. The conversation also highlights the emerging "next-gen agency" model, the power of ecosystems within real estate offices, and practical ways to leverage teams, offshoring, and technology to maximise growth and retention.
There are plenty of opinions, both for and against the Pittsburgh Steelers, that go along with the majority. Sometimes it's good to pose a counter argument for ones that could be taking it too much to the extreme. Join Dave Schofield as he offers some unpopular opinions about the Pittsburgh Steelers that go against the general narrative. This week Dave looks at why the Steelers should not be following another team's Super Bowl blueprint.

Send a textWhat if marriage and intimacy were never meant to feel fragile?In this episode, Chelsey unpacks a powerful biblical distinction most Christian wives have never been taught: God did not originally tell man and woman to guard the garden—He told them to rule it.You'll learn why dominion came before defense, how guarding became necessary only after the fall, and why starting from fear instead of authority quietly suffocates intimacy.This episode reframes marriage through Eden's original design and shows how Christ restores us to rule under God's order—without anxiety, control, or performance.Inside this episode:Why dominion came before guarding in God's designHow fear-based vigilance damages intimacyThe difference between authority and control in marriageWhy guarding is necessary now—but not foundationalHow restored order brings peace, softness, and fruitfulness back to intimacyIf intimacy feels tense, fragile, or over-managed—this episode will shift your framework and restore peace.

Every enterprise is building an AI stack, but most are doing it wrong. In this episode, Ross breaks down a tactical, use-case-driven framework for building an AI stack that actually works. If you're a marketer, operator, or executive looking to leverage AI strategically (without blowing your budget or ignoring compliance), this episode gives you the structure you need to win. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Hard Truth About Enterprise AI - Most companies choose AI tools based on hype, not strategy. - Vendor pitches and social buzz are driving long-term contracts. - Locking into the wrong platform can create scaling and security nightmares. - The AI landscape changes weekly, three-year commitments require serious thought. 2. There Is No “Best” AI Tool - The right question isn't “What's best?” but “What's best for this use case?” - Different teams (marketing, engineering, finance) need different tools. - Constraints, industry, and goals should guide tool selection. - Build a stack…Don't look for a silver bullet. 3. The 5-Layer AI Stack Framework - Layer 1: Writing & Communication Tools - Layer 2: Research & Analysis - Layer 3: Code & Technical Execution - Layer 4: Automations & Workflow Integration - Layer 5: Security & Compliance 4. Training, Ownership & Continuous Improvement - AI adoption fails without real, ongoing training. - Appoint an AI stack owner responsible for optimization and updates. - Create internal systems (e.g., Slack channels) to share prompts and workflows. - Capture institutional knowledge so it doesn't leave with one employee. 5. Start Small, But Start Strategic - Don't wait for “the perfect moment.” AI is already reshaping competition. - Experiment but build security and compliance from day one. - Budget realistically for training, tools, and maintenance. - Strategic AI adoption is a long-term competitive advantage.

FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: – Megyn Kelly’s Bad Bunny rant on Piers Morgan – Kid Rock calls JZ was a “DEI Hire” – DHS and ICE chiefs (refuse to) answer questions at a Congressional Hearing – Trump’s Tariffs cost American families $1,000+ in 2025 – Congress reviews unredacted Epstein Files and Ghilaine Maxwell testifies. President Trump brought in Black History Month with the now-infamous “Ape Video,” a clip he posted to Truth Social of the Obamas’ faces superimposed onto apes… The public was understandably outraged but NLP was not surprised, this behavior is nothing new for Trump, America, or Republicans. What never ceases to amaze are the skin folk (not kin folk) who rushed out to defend the president’s heavy-handed racism.

Airbnb isn't broken—but it's getting harder to win.Rich Somers sits down as a guest on Brad Lea's "Dropping Bombs" podcast for a candid conversation on why short-term rentals are becoming more regulated, more competitive, more operationally complex, and what experienced operators are doing to stay ahead. Rich breaks down the shift from Airbnbs to boutique hotels, how regulation is reshaping supply, and why commercial zoning and scale are changing the game.They also dive into risk, leverage, and why betting on yourself—through skills, relationships, and long-term thinking—often beats playing it safe. This episode offers a clear-eyed look at where short-term rentals are headed and how smart investors are adapting before the market forces them to.

When Bad Bunny took the stage at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, it wasn't just a performance — it was a masterclass in modern brand growth. In this episode, we break down why Bad Bunny's halftime show resonated so deeply with audiences — and what brand leaders, CMOs, and growth marketers should learn from it. Because this wasn't just about music. It was about: Cultural relevance Identity-driven marketing Audience intimacy And building brands that reflect the communities they serve Too many brands chase growth through scale alone. But Bad Bunny's moment on one of the world's biggest stages revealed something more powerful: growth today belongs to brands that understand culture, represent real people, and remove friction between identity and experience. If you're a marketing leader navigating: Slowing ROI Fragmented audiences The limits of traditional growth marketing Or the tension between scale and relevance This episode will show you why cultural alignment — not just campaign optimization — is the blueprint for brand growth today.
