In this powerful and deeply human episode, we explore how movement, mindset, joy, and authenticity can completely change the way we experience aging. In this inspiring episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, hosts Marnie Dachis Marmet and Stephanie May Potter sit down with Leslie Fhima - fitness instructor, dancer, and fan-favorite from The Golden Bachelor. Leslie shares her extraordinary life journey, from professional figure skating and fitness entrepreneurship to stepping onto reality television in her 60s with confidence, courage, and joy. Through honest storytelling, humor, and vulnerability, Leslie opens up about loss, resilience, reinvention, and how dance and movement helped her survive life's hardest moments. This conversation reframes aging as an expansion - not a limitation - and offers practical inspiration for anyone feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what's next.

What happens when a metal comedy creator reaches 1 million followers on TikTok and chooses to boldly rep Jesus along the way?In this episode, my good friend Matt Reed shares how he grew a massive platform without preaching but instead used humor, creativity, and scripture in captions to become a bridge between faith and heavy metal culture. We also dive into the power of asking and why bold faith requires bold requests, how opportunities open when you stop playing small, and what happens when you ask God (and people) for more.This conversation is honest, funny, and encouraging for anyone trying to live out their faith, pursue purpose, and trust God with the next step.

It's Christmas week, and the perfect time to reflect on your future as a leader. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I'm answering one of the biggest questions I've been hearing to close out the year: How do I cast a bold, inspiring vision for 2026 without overcommitting or losing trust when I can't deliver it all at once? If you've ever wrestled with that tension, this episode will help you lead with both clarity and confidence. I walk you through how to cast a magnetic vision and pair it with grounded execution, so people believe in both your future and your follow-through. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Merry Christmas & Setup – A holiday message and the big question: how do I balance big vision with realistic execution [01:00] The Tension Every Leader Feels – You're dreaming big for 2026, but also wearing 5 hats and carrying the weight of everything you already do [01:30] Vision and Execution Are Not Opposites – You can lead both, if you hold them in tension with transparency [02:00] Vision Should Stretch You – If your "vision" only covers the next 30 days, it's not vision. It's a task list [02:45] Execution Builds Trust – Your actions must reinforce your words. Belief comes from consistency, not hype [03:10] Real-World Example – Casting a boutique leadership vision even when you're just starting solo, and grounding it with small Q1 steps [03:45] Avoid the Extremes – Some cast vision with no follow-through. Others get stuck in the day-to-day and stop casting vision entirely [04:30] What Great Leaders Will Do in 2026 – Inspire people with clarity, then walk them there step by step [05:00] Brand and Content Must Reflect the Balance – Be honest about where you're going and what you're doing now [05:15] Your Vision Will Evolve – That doesn't mean you were wrong. It means you're leading in real time [05:40] Final Challenge for Year-End Write your 2026 vision (team, culture, impact) Identify 2–3 steps you'll take in January Decide how to communicate that to your current team and future recruits Key Takeaways You Don't Have to Choose Between Big Vision and Real Execution – You just need to lead both with clarity and consistency Vision Without Steps Creates Skepticism. Steps Without Vision Create Stagnation – You need both to build belief Let People See the Journey – Share the North Star, but also the next two steps toward it Your Leadership Brand Should Reflect Both Your Belief and Your Process – That's how trust compounds It's Okay if Your Vision Evolves – Stay rooted in your values, and you'll always find alignment People don't need you to be perfect.

December 22, 2025Today's Reading: John 1:19-28 Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 43:1-24; Revelation 9:13-10:11“I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,' as the prophet Isaiah said” (John 1:23)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.The Pharisees sent priests and Levites to scope out the preacher, the first of many encounters between God and His enemies recorded in the Gospels. Their questions aren't for idle curiosity and genuine desire for the truth. The higher-ups want to know what they're dealing with and who the new preacher in town is, drawing the people away from themselves to Bethany across the Jordan.We know from Matthew and Luke that John knew this wasn't a harmless delegation when he called them a “brood of vipers.” Still, he doesn't shy or shirk from his duty. Boldly, John confesses that he isn't the Christ, but rather a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy. He is “the voice” calling people to readiness before the coming One Whose sandals he's not worthy to untie.The blessed Christmas season highlights the birth of Jesus, and as we reflect upon His coming by the virgin Mary in a stable, John's words are for us to hear: “Make straight the way of the Lord.” We crumple and break the ways of God in our sin. We know the Law, what God commands us to do, but daily our pesky, wretched Old Adam gets the upper hand. Try as we might, the Law still convicts, and our reliance before God can only be the One about Whom John boldly testifies and confesses. John calls us to straighten things out, get on the right path, and stop twisting and turning. In other words, John calls us to repentance. Christ is coming, the theme of Advent, and our lives anticipating His return for Judgment. Christ is coming on the Last Day and comes even now in Word and Sacrament. Repentance and faith define the life of the baptized believer, availing Himself of Christ and His gifts whenever possible.Finally, we should note John's courage to confess in the face of enemies. It happens when the Christian knows persecution from those asking questions with evil intentions is coming. The Truth, however, prevails, and it's another fruit of faith to be bold in the face of danger, knowing the One Who comes is the One Who has saved us from sin, risen from the dead, and gives to His Church that hope and freedom the devil and God's enemies cannot overcome.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Once He came in blessing, All our sins redressing; Came in likeness lowly, son of God most holy; Bore the cross to save us; Hope and freedom gave us (LSB, 333:1)Author: Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, senior pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Brenham, TX.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev. Richard Heinz, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lowell, IN.Work through the first ten chapters of Matthew and learn more about who Jesus is. As you move through this study, you'll ponder the theological, practical, and historical considerations of the text.

Love Boldly By Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli September 7th, 2025 "Vision" Series
Many Christians long to share their faith but struggle with fear, uncertainty, or a lack of confidence. Yet Scripture shows us that bold evangelism begins not with a strategy, but with a heart captivated by Jesus Himself. In Luke 2, the shepherds encountered the newborn Christ and immediately “spread the word,” becoming some of the first evangelists in the New Testament. Their example challenges us to consider what passionate witness could look like in our own lives. When we truly love Christ, we naturally want to talk about Him—and God uses ordinary people to make His extraordinary news known. Main Takeaways You’ll learn why the shepherds’ response to seeing Jesus models bold, joy-filled evangelism. Discover how passion for Christ fuels our desire to share the gospel with others. Understand why plans and formulas have value, but real witness begins with loving Jesus deeply. See how God consistently uses ordinary men and women—shepherds, fishermen, everyday believers—to spread His good news. Reflect on how your own enthusiasm for Christ can become an invitation for others to know Him.

Fill my heart with a deeper love for You—one that naturally overflows into conversations and actions that point others to Your grace. Make me bold like the shepherds who joyfully shared the news of Your birth, and like the disciples who testified fearlessly through the power of Your Spirit. When I feel uncertain or afraid, strengthen me. When I struggle for words, guide me in truth and grace. Let my life reflect Your goodness so others may be drawn to You.Amen. Want More?

Send us a textPeople like to sort life into neat, tidy categories. And Christians are no exception, we often like to sort life into straightforward ways of approaching things, tidy categories: right and wrong, black and white, faithful or unfaithful. Maybe we assume too easily that if someone trusts the Lord, they will always walk in integrity. Surely a believer who lies must not be trusting God in that moment… right?But what if I told you that a man of sincere faith — a man who deeply loved God, a man the Scriptures themselves describe as having a heart after the Lord — once found himself in a place of great fear, and in that moment… he lied. Boldly. Blatantly. No nuance, no half-truths — a proper, old-fashioned whopper of a lie.The man I'm talking about is David.

A closed throne room is the world we expect; Hebrews reveals a throne of grace that welcomes us with confidence. We open the door on what bold access really means, why the torn veil changes prayer from a cautious ritual into an honest conversation, and how Jesus' ongoing advocacy turns our weakest moments into encounters with mercy.We start by reframing the roles of priest and prophet, clearing up a common modern confusion: a priest represents the people to God. From there, we trace the high priest's humanity and weakness under the old covenant and contrast it with Jesus' sinless solidarity. He knows our condition from within, yet without guilt, which is why he deals gently and intercedes powerfully. We also unpack why no one takes the honor of priesthood for themselves and how Christ, like Aaron in calling but unlike him in order, was appointed by the Father.The takeaway is deeply practical: when the need is urgent and the heart is heavy, the way is open. No gatekeepers, no queue, no fragile mood to navigate. You approach a sovereign who loves to give grace and mercy in real time. That changes how we pray, how we endure suffering, and how we resist the pull toward lesser mediators. If Jesus is both king and priest forever, then the verdict over your approach is settled: come boldly.If this helped you see prayer and access in a new light, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find it.

Today's Mass Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/111925.cfmIn today's homily, Fr. Mark Baron reflects on the harrowing story from 2 Maccabees: a mother witnessing the martyrdom of her seven sons for refusing to abandon God's law. As Fr. Mark highlights, the woman's courage was rooted in hope—hope in God's providence, mercy, and the promise of eternal life. This hope allowed her to endure unimaginable suffering, guiding her sons to remain steadfast, even in the face of death (2 Maccabees 7:1–31). The passage underscores the dignity of choosing God over worldly life and reminds us that our faith calls us to something greater than ourselves. Fr. Mark draws a parallel to the early Christian martyrs, who drew inspiration from these events to face persecution with unshakable resolve. He also challenges modern believers to live boldly for the truth, resisting “weenieism” or compromise in a culture often hostile to God's law. Our ultimate confidence comes from knowing God Himself: omnipotent, merciful, and the source of all goodness (Ex 3:14). By fixing our hearts on Him, we too can face trials with courage and trust in His divine plan. Let the witness of the Maccabean martyrs inspire us to serve God faithfully, to prioritize eternal life, and to live nobly for what truly matters.

I AM Beautiful Wild Free: A Guided Affirmation and Meditation Podcast
[Season 6, Episode 19] In this empowering episode of the I AM Beautiful Wild Free Podcast, we declare with confidence: I AM Sharing My Faith Boldly.
Inside each of us, God has placed a unique combination of gifts — a divine mix of talents, passions, and personality that reflects His creative design. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, so often, fear holds us back from using them. We compare ourselves to others, worry about failure, and hide our gifts instead of letting them shine for God’s glory. In today’s meditation, Whitney Hopler reminds us that fear does not come from God. Instead, He gives us power, love, and self-control to boldly live out our purpose. When we step out in faith, relying on God’s strength, our gifts become like a blazing fire — illuminating His truth and love to a world in need. If you’ve been hesitant to use your gifts, today’s prayer invites you to ask God to reignite that holy fire within you. Let His Spirit empower you to serve with confidence, courage, and joy. Today's Bible Reading:“… I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” – 2 Timothy 1:6–7, ESV
