Leave a review! Let's be real, mom brain can be a little scary at times. We can feel mentally scattered, and physically drained, and lose sight of the calling that God has for us as moms. We can feel aimless. We're distracted. And that's why I invited Kasey Schuler on the show to help us find a clear focus on God's version of health through grace (even in the chaos of motherhood).  As a published Christian author and personal trainer, Kasey delivers practical tips and spiritual wisdom for approaching health from a place of alignment and peace. So, let's dive in! Next Steps: Follow Kasey on InstagramCheck out her bookI pray this blesses you!In His Strength, Laura Lindahl

Caroline is dealing with a dilemma so many sales professionals face this time of year: How do you shake off a mid-winter rut and regain your momentum when it's cold, dark, and everyone else seems to be dragging too? On this Ask Jeb episode, I offer practical, real-world strategies to help you thaw out from the winter freeze. Whether you're fighting the gloom of early sunsets, the aftereffects of holiday downtime, or the struggle to get your customers back in “buying mode,” these tips will help you power through and regain your momentum. Surround Yourself with Positive Inputs When you're in a mid-winter sales rut—especially in cold, gray weather—your environment can either lift you up or drag you down. The content you consume and the people you interact with have a direct impact on your attitude. Limit NegativitySkip cable news and doom scrolling. It's toxic and drains energy. Steer clear of co-workers who only want to complain. Instead, find colleagues or mentors who keep the conversation upbeat and productive. Engage in “Automobile University”Turn windshield time into learning time. Load up on podcasts, audiobooks, or uplifting content. If you're on the road for field sales, use that dead time to sharpen your skills or motivation. Pro Tip: Tune in to the Sales Gravy Podcast (yes, shameless plug!) or revisit classic audio programs by Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, or Jim Rohn for a quick confidence boost. Create a “Win” FileSave glowing emails, client testimonials, or kudos from your boss in one place. On days when you feel like a zero, open that folder and remember your wins. Believing in yourself often wavers most when external results are slow. A targeted self-esteem boost can snap you out of that funk. Read (or Listen) Your Way Out of the Slump When you can't rely on external circumstances (like sunny weather or a jam-packed pipeline) to motivate you, it's time to feed your mind intentionally. Pick Up a BookI once pulled myself out of a rut by alternating 10 minutes of prospecting with 10 minutes of reading No Bull Selling by Hank Trisler. That pattern helped him stay focused and eventually led him to top-performer status in his region. Audio AlliesIf reading a physical book doesn't fit your schedule, try audiobooks. Caroline mentioned she's listening to The AI Edge on Audible. Whether you dive into James Clear's Atomic Habits or any other self-improvement or sales guide, consistent listening can reset your mindset. Revisit (or Set) Your Goals and Business Plan Aimlessness often fuels a sales rut. Getting clear on why you're putting in the work refocuses your daily efforts. Craft a Personal Business PlanBreak your annual quota or goals into quarterly, monthly, and weekly targets. Then, identify the daily actions that lead to those targets. Write them down, review them often, and adjust as needed. Check In with Your Plan If you've already set goals: Take them out of the drawer and ask, “Am I doing what I said I would do each day?” If you haven't set goals yet: It's never too late to start. Use the lull to plan out the rest of your year. Try the “BTN” (Better Than Nothing) ApproachOn a recent Money Monday episode, we introduced the concept of doing something—even if it's small—to maintain momentum. One call, one follow-up, or one networking email is better than none at all. Doing a little bit every day builds massive momentum over time. Even if you're not closing big deals right now, small actions (e.g., 15 minutes of prospecting, 10 minutes of follow-ups) add up. “Eat the Frog” Early in the Day The Eat the Frog concept (mentioned in Fanatical Prospecting) is about tackling the hardest or most dreaded tasks first. If winter weather and post-holiday inertia already have you feeling sluggish, don't let procrastination compound the problem. Schedule Tough Calls in the MorningIf you tend to stall on prospecting, block out time when you're freshest. Once you conquer the hardest thing on your list,...

Desde el fantástico Pabellón Infantil El Menudo Castillo 603 nos llevó a uno de esos rincones en los que nos sentimos como en casa: el Pabellón Infantil de la Feria del Libro de Madrid. Ya hemos hecho radio y otras locuras muchas veces desde allí y siempre es una aventura divertida y maravillosa. Para un programa de radio de literatura infantil y juvenil es estupendo poder contar con este sitio para hacer radio de la buena. Y si tenemos para hacer radio infantil compañías como las de esta ocasión... es todo mucho mejor. Solo con estar en la Feria del Libro de Madrid ya sería la bomba, desde luego. Pero el Menudo Castillo 603 nos hizo tener en la radio a María Menéndez-Ponte, a Santiago García-Clairac, a Luján Fernández y a Mairena Ruiz. Casi nada, ¿verdad? Y tuvimos un programa divertido y muy loco. Y es que también nos acompañaron niñas y niños del CEIP San Vicente de Colmenar del Arroyo. Se vinieron hasta la Feria del Libro los peques de 4º, 5º y 6º de primaria para que el Menudo Castillo 603 fuese de verdad estupendo. No nos pudimos alargar mucho y estábamos todos un poco despistados, pero aun así el programa merece la pena. Hablamos de la nueva colección de María, de Mateo Molón (colección de Luján y de Mairena) y de Booki, un personaje genial de Santiago, que nos regaló hasta una pequeña pieza de teatro que grabamos en vivo. Ir a la Feria del Libro de Madrid siempre es muy divertido. Hacer radio desde la Feria del Libro de Madrid es aún más divertido. Este curso la hemos hecho con los peques de Colmenar del Arroyo, pero ¿y si fuera tu colegio? ¿Y si fueras tú? Todavía queda un año para que vuelva la fiesta de los libros en el Retiro pero, ¿no molaría compartirla?

In today's episode, I have a great conversation with the brilliant Rob Dobson from Northern Comfort about how to get the most out of your website.Rob has been building, designing and optimising websites for over 20 years and shares some great insights into the behind-the-scenes world of code and development and how to make sure your website is performing as well as possible for you.With this in mind, we chat about:The dark side of web development and some of the unethical practices that take place.How to measure a website's performance with tools such as Google Analytics or benchmarking.Why you should invite feedback from people who don't know your business. Get them to have a look and ask them some key questions such as:What's the product that you're selling?What is it going to do for you?What's the end benefit that you're going to get from buying this product?The importance of making your website as obvious and as clear as possible, you can never over-explain on a website, you can never be too clear.The Curse of Knowledge and how we can make assumptions about what we think people know about our business.And the interesting parallels that exist between the psychology on a website of explaining how to buy things and present products, and the psychology of magic tricks.Rob Dobson Resources:https://www.twitter.com/northerncomfortwww.linkedin.com/in/mrrobdobsonhttps://northerncomfort.co.uk/Lucy Rennie Resources:https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - find out more about Lucy, her work and get access to key downloadable resources.Join my mailing list - https://www.iamlucyrennie.com/podcastBuy my book here - https://www.iamlucyrennie.com/bookI'd love you to come and join me and lots of other small business owners like you in my FREE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommunicatewithPurposeResources Future-Proof your Business Webinar 18th April - sign up for my free interactive workshop https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and more information about how to work with Lucy.

You set the tone, the standard, and the culture.2) Put yourself in other people's shoes. See things from other people's perspectives. 3) Back to Basics 4) Know your audience. Remember that one size does not fit all. 5) Don't make assumptions. 6) Ask questions. It's not about you. 7) Authentic – be real. Don't try to be something you are not. 8) Be Vulnerable. Don't be afraid to show your weaknesses or admit it when you don't know something or if you get something wrong or make a mistake. 9) Listen to learn and be curious. 10) Language. Watch your language and tone. 11) Remember the little things. Show you care. 12) Sense check, measure, review, update, learn, and test things. And most importantly of all 13) It starts with you.

In this week's episode, I'm talking about the importance of really listening to your clients and making sure that you're delivering what they really want, and not what you think they want. I ask the question, “Are you really listening?”And introduce you to the wonderful Nancy Kline and her book “Time to Think” that literally blew my mind and changed my life as I realised just how rubbish we all are at properly listening to each other. "The quality of your attention determines the quality of other people's thinking." Nancy Kline.I share with you more about what it means to get intentional about listening to people and talk you through 5 key benefits that good listening can bring to your business which are:1) Building trust with your clients and creating a real connection with people.2) Adding value by delivering what they really need and beyond.3) Ensuring customer retention and fixing your leaky bucket.4) Making sure your business stays ahead of the trends and is always looking to improve. And5) Strengthening your brand and reputation and helping you Future-Proof your business.Lucy Rennie Resources: Nancy Kline - Time to Think - https://amzn.eu/d/56bPnOchttps://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and free downloadable resourcesJoin my mailing list - https://www.iamlucyrennie.com/podcastBuy my book here - https://go.lrcomms.co.uk/bookI would love to invite you to come and join me and lots of other small business owners like you in my FREE Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommunicatewithPurposeResources Future-Proof your Business Webinar 18th April - sign up for my free interactive workshop https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and more information about how to work with Lucy.

In this week's episode I'm asking the question: How easy is it for people to buy from you? If you know that you're doing a good job, if you really care about what you're doing, then there's no reason why people shouldn't want to come and buy from you, unless you are putting obstacles in the way?I share nine ways to make sure that the right people find you and buy from you as easily and smoothly as possible: Do you assume that people know what you do, and what products and services you sell?Are you communicating in the right way with your customers? Do your people feel like you're in their head and talking directly to them?Are you providing all the relevant information that someone needs in order to buy from you? Are you clear on your pricing? Be that person that puts their prices out there, be transparent and confident about it.What about your buying process? How easy and simple is it to make a purchase? Are you actually sharing your products and services with people? Or are you the world's best kept secret?So you sense-check what you do? It's simple, be ethical in everything you do.And finally I'm challenging you to ask your clients and audience for feedback. Be brave, get fresh eyes on your website and offers and ask people ‘How easy is it to buy from you?'Lucy Rennie Resources:https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and free downloadable resourcesJoin my mailing list - https://www.iamlucyrennie.com/podcastBuy my book here - https://go.lrcomms.co.uk/bookI would love to invite you to come and join me and lots of other small business owners like you in my FREE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommunicatewithPurposeResources Future-Proof your Business Webinar 18th April - sign up for my free interactive workshop https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and more information about how to work with Lucy.

Originally from Philadelphia, she currently lives near Richmond, Virginia, with her husband and three children.In this episode, Sadeqa and I discussed how she married family history and a loose YA idea to come up with The House of Eve. We talked about how she navigates history as an author and a second point of view in The House of Eve that begged to be unearthed. Finally we talked about the story within a story that nudged its way into the bookI loved this conversation with Sadeqa, and I took so much away from it, notably how intuitive she is. Her stories, her ideas, the way she pieces parts of The House of Eve together…she was open to these changes. She even had mentioned it with Yellow Wife…that that story chose her, and it was the catalyst that nudged her off the contemporary fiction path to historical fiction. It felt like so many aspects and features of The House of Eve chose her too. To me, this episode was a reminder to keep my ears and eyes up. Maybe heed those nudges. Perhaps not self-reject quite as quickly. And as a storyteller, listen to what our characters are trying to say. At the moment, I'm editing my first book in my Harlequin series coming out spring of 2024, and re-listening to this conversation came at a perfect time.

In today's episode, I'm talking you through an exercise that I love to do at this time of year with my clients and for my business where we can take some time out and reflect on the last 12 months.It's the run-up to Christmas and the end of the year, so these past few weeks have been crazy busy with so many plates spinning and lots going on, whether that's in business or at home.I want to encourage you to pause, take some time out to breathe and to reflect and finish the year in a way that feels good, that allows you to enjoy the festivities, recharge your batteries and be in the best place to move into the new year.In this week's episode I invite you to ask yourself these questions and see what comes up for you and what you notice:What have you achieved this year that has made you happy?What are the three things that you've learned about yourself this year?Who are those key people who have really been there for you? Who have you loved being around?As you move forward into 2023 what are the things that you are going to STOP doing, START doing or do MORE of?Lucy Rennie Resources:https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and free downloadable resourcesJoin my mailing list - https://www.iamlucyrennie.com/podcastBuy my book here - https://go.lrcomms.co.uk/bookI would love to invite you to come and join me and lots of other small business owners like you in my FREE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommunicatewithPurposeResources Future-Proof your Business Webinar 18th April - sign up for my free interactive workshop https://www.iamlucyrennie.com - free downloadable resources, other episodes and more information about how to work with Lucy.

Welcome to our Christmas special!Also special as we recorded this episode in front of our first audience at the Henley Community Garden with the Gladesville Happy Hens. We hope you enjoy listening to us talk about our book advent (list below) while also prescribing something to eat and something to read for two letter writers. The list of books discussed is below and there will be more information about this and the recipes discussed in the Shownotes.Thank you for listening to us this last year, and we look forward to returning with a Summer special in January. Until then, happy holidays to all.Sophie & Germaine xxWe started our episode by offering a couple of sweet treats taken from books we have both loved and talked about this year. Sophie and Nigel Slater's Christmas CakeIt was always going to be a Christmas cake for me. And always, my favourite recipe by Nigel Slater from the Christmas Chronicles (but also available here online).Germaine and Ella Risbridger's Three Ingredient BrowniesI was intrigued to try such an easy recipe after we read The Year of Miracles: Recipes about Love, Grief and Growing Things in Season 2, Episode 4 so decided to try it. It is easy. And tasty! Simply Nutella, eggs and flour. Here is a similar recipe to Ella's if you haven't read her book. Book List* Advent by Anja Dunk * Christmas Days by Jeanette Winterson* Festive Spirits by Kate Atkinson (Lucy's Story)* How to End a Story by Helen Garner* Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling* The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller* The Christmas Chronicles by Nigel Slater* Seeing Other People by Diana Reed* Small Things Like These, Clare Keegan* Overheard: the art of eavesdropping by Oslo Davis* Wombat Divine by Mem Fox* Cooking for Claudine by John BaxterLetter 1Thank you for this! I am emerging from a marriage break up and I need some lightness and happiness in my life. Maybe a bit of courage too.Germaine's book prescriptionMaira Kalman's The Principles of Uncertainty is one of my favourite books that I return to whenever I am feeling in need of a reminder that life always contains lightness alongside the need for courage. Kalman is perhaps best known for her children's book illustrations and as a contributor to the New Yorker magazine, however this illustrated memoir is a different way of reflecting and understanding the meaning of her life. Her quirky illustrations, existential questions and melancholic observations are very powerful. I prescribe it as a completely different way of reading about life. Kalman walks the streets of New York and draws the people she sees. Her daily walks in Central Park with an old friend also impact on her sense of wellbeing. She reminisces about her childhood and the past. It's a visual journey through her mind!Sophie's recipeI think it has to be cake. Specifically, a sponge, though one with structure so it won't deflate on you or be finicky about travelling. Something you can cut and come again and keep in the fridge. Take to work to share, take to a morning tea with your friends. You can't not be cheered by a sponge. And you can take courage that this recipe will work! As Nigel Slater says in Christmas Chronicles, “there was something about the way my mother would put a cake on the table that made me feel all was well. Safe. Secure. Unshakeable'Here's my sponge cake recipe, please try it, fill it with jam, cream, curd, love, whatever you have to hand!Letter 2I am going ‘home' for Christmas for a number of reasons. It may well be our last - or only-  ‘family' holiday with all 6 of us that we will remember, as my eldest is 19 and will be moving on with his life - a fact we celebrate and mourn, and my youngest is 11, and therefore too young to remember our trips before the Covid years.  Included in the trip are 2 weeks in the UK to have our first English Christmas with my family, and our first one all together in 7 years. It is always a little bittersweet without my Dad, whose presence is long missed, but it is definitely a time for celebration.What will make the trip a little more interesting, and is making my mother slightly apprehensive, is a history of tension between my brother and sister - I refuse to get sucked in to any drama and can smooth almost any situation - but I want her to feel excitement and eagerness about spending this time together, so do you have a suggestion for a book that celebrates the joy of family reconnection, or something that will bring light to dark winter evenings? Something fun, but real would be grand. And she is always fond of a murder.In terms of asking for something to cook, I am being held responsible for an Australian style brunch - limited by available ingredients so sadly no mango unless I smuggle them in (which I may), and need something sweet, but light to finish the traditional croissants and smoked salmon, and that won't compete with pavlova and Christmas pudding that will be served after late lunch. Also, my mother loathes cream and milk, unless cooked into a cheese sauce, so yoghurt is out.Hope that's not too prescriptive? I love listening to you both, and hearing your discussions.Sophie's recipeWhat about a warm Christmas crumble? In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together about 2 cups frozen (or fresh berries) with about 2 cups rhubarb, apple or stonefruit (depending on season and taste. Add 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp vanilla paste and the juice of one orange or lemon and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the fruit is soft. Transfer to a bowl and pop in the fridge to cool or if cooking the crumble straight away, tip into an oven-proof dish.For the crumble topping, in a medium bowl, combine 50g unsalted butter, cold and cubed, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla paste, 1/2 cup almond meal, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup shredded coconut and 200g marzipan. Work everything together with your fingers and crumble together. Preheat oven to 180C and crumble the topping over the layer of fruit and cook for about 20-30 minutes or until the topping is golden. Serve hot with cream, yogurt or ice cream. Germaine's bookI rose to the challenge with this letter and managed to find a book that is about family and reconnection, with humour and depth. Also, there is a missing person! I'll let you discover if it's a murder or just a side mystery… When God Was A Rabbit by Sarah Winman is a family story about bad things happening to good people and good things happening to good people! This is the poignant tale of Ellie and her family from her childhood in the 1960s through to her adulthood in the early 2000s. There is a cast of quirky characters, all damaged and all loveable who feel very real. Winman also writes beautifully about sibling bonds, “I am here but I am not yours”. While the characters (like families) frustrate, make you laugh out loud and also cry, ultimately, they express the love and hope within us all, no matter what has happened.Thank youOur thanks to Emma and her volunteers from the Gladesville Happy Hens for organising our event and for being so generous with her time and energy.As always, thanks to Kristy Reading for producing every episode of our podcast!We acknowledge that the land on which we work and live is the traditional land of the Wiradjuri Nation and Wallumedegal people.

In today's episode, I want to talk to you about how I believe that to build a successful business you need to be in it for the long game.I'm busting the myth that says you can build a successful six or seven-figure business overnight and I'm calling out those gurus who are selling their magic formula to making millions.I share my views about the hustle culture and the pressure out there for small business owners to scale and grow and how I believe nobody can tell you what success looks like for you except you and I look at the question of ethics, doing the right thing and looking after our clients, and how no matter how large or small your business, delivering value should be our priority.I want to offer an alternative and more sustainable approach to growing a successful business and it's a long game..

In this episode I'm going to talk to you about a subject that I'm really passionate about, and it's called 'The TripAdvisor Effect.'People are four times more likely to buy from you when they've been referred to you by a friend. (Nielson)The TripAdvisor Effect is about building know, like and trust with your existing customers so much that they become super fans, shout about you from the rooftops, and market your business for you.

In this episode, we discuss how exposure to disagreement changes how we think. Our guest's research highlights the perils of consensus and the value of dissent for the quality of decision making and the creativity of solutions.Charlan Nemeth is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at UC Berkeley. She has taught in the areas of persuasion, team decision making, scientific creativity, corporate culture and innovation. Her most recent book on decision-making, “In Defense of Troublemakers,” pulls together decades of research on influence processes with particular attention to raising the quality of individual and team decisions. Listen as Charlan and Greg talk about listening to the other side of a position, 12 Angry Men, groupthink, and diversity.Episode Quotes:Mission behind her work & bookI think the most important message of our work and the book is that when you hear opposing views that come from a majority, this consensus thing we're talking about, it isn't just whether or not you follow it, which is persuasion. It's how are you thinking as a result? On the diversity of demographic and viewpointThe only way that diversity of demographic works is if there's some kind of a correlation between the diversity of the demographic and diversity of viewpoint.What does diversity really mean So if you just look at the demographics, they're very diverse. But that doesn't get you the stimulation that you're after, because what you really want is diversity of views. The only way that that diversity of demographic works is if there's some kind of a correlation between the diversity of the demographic and diversity of viewpoint. Namely, is it the case that if I bring, say different races that I'm going to hear a different viewpoint? Not if they're all on the same page and have the same motivations and the same ideology and whatever.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Asch conformity experiments - WikipediaCarl Wagner - Strathmore University Business School12 Angry MenAlex F.

Excerpt from the foreword of Tim’s upcoming bookI first came across Craig in the Summer of 2001. He said to me, “Hello. Welcome”. At the time I thought his turn of phrase to be strange, along with much else about him. He seemed to always walk around with music playing, but not in an annoying way. He wasn’t playing ‘rap’, or whatever the kids call it these days. He seemed to be attempting to soundtrack his movements and make ‘features’ (his words) out of his every day life. As I said, I found much about him to be strange.He seemed to carry a soundboard around with him attached to his back. When he heard a funny conversation or turn of phrase, he’d ask the person to repeat it, then he’d record it straight into his soundboard. At a later date he would play the soundbite back to the person, whilst staring deep into their eyes. They always looked bemused, often offended. But Craig seemed to know something they didn’t.I witnessed many such strange activities. I caught him—and admonished him—many times playing an extremely loud censor beep into people’s faces. When somebody would say ‘value’, he would hit his censor beep and stare deeply into their eyes. Never a smile, never an indication of a purpose. Craig, again, seemed to know something they didn’t.When he began to play music, he became obsessed with playing heavy metal music out loud. He never listened to a full song, and seemed never to settle on one. When he’d finished playing the music, he mumbled something about ‘naval gazing’ and wandered off. I witnessed him listening to hundreds of different pieces of heavy metal music, as if he was looking for the perfect piece, never to be found.As he moved through the years at the Polytechnic, he appeared to have developed an invisible friend called ‘Off Mike’. When I asked him who he was talking to, he would tell me he was talking Off Mike. At first, I never quite understood whether he was assuming the role of Off Mike, or he was talking to Off Mike.Many years later after he’d left the Polytechnic, I got an email. It was from a Craig Burgess, somebody who I’d remembered as the slightly odd student. In the email was a link to The Wednesday Audio, a podcast he’d claimed to have been recording for a year.It was at this moment I spotted his genius. All his oddities, all his foibles, all came together to make sense. He had been preparing for the biggest role of his life. That role was a little-known, little-downloaded podcast called The Wednesday Audio.This book has been written with the approval and help of Craig, but not by him. Only a critic of the arts such as myself could dissect the myriad messages Craig has left us in the year of episodes 1-55 of The Wednesday Audio.I trust you will enjoy my analysis as much as you will enjoy reading the transcripts of the episodes. I truly believe Craig is set for stardom, destined to be as big—if not bigger—than Ken Dodd.Tim Angler, Head of Comedic Studies, Barnsley PolytechnicJune 2022 This is a public episode.

Here is the audio and text content from one of Judith Briles’ new 3-minute videos featured in her Author & Publishing Tips in 3 Minutes or Less playlist on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhXzmXm7u15joaoEPy23ASD2mCXtW-c-f). That playlist currently features 37 videos. Here’s one that got my attention:Use Amazon Search Inside to Add to Your BookHow many of you have used Amazon? I bet most of you do.Have you ever looked inside the book when you're looking at the details? Most books have the look inside or search inside feature in the book listing.Now, go to a comparable book like yours, a bestselling book on your topic? Take a peek at how the look inside feature is laid out. Usually it has a table of contents, or what we now call the contents page.Take a look. Does any of that book’s content match what you're thinking about including in your book? We're not talking about doing a copy paste, copy paste of content. We're looking for noodling. Is there something maybe you hadn't thought about to include or something that sparks your thinking?You know, that seems so old, everyone has it? Maybe I need something with a unique twist. The search inside feature is very, very helpful on Amazon to spur your own thinking and planning for a bookI would also read the back cover to look for bullet points that pop out at me. Does any of the back cover copy speak to me in what I'm writing about?I can't tell you how many times I've watched movies or a TV show, and there's a line in it that pops out and reminds me that I need to include something like that in my book. And then I end up writing an entire chapter on eight words that I heard that became the golden egg.And now that you’re read the edited text and listened to the podcast audio, watch Judith tell the same story in her YouTube video:Judith is using the power of YouTube playlists to showcase a series of related videos and, in essence, creating a YouTube podcast via an integrated playlist of related videos. Cool!I might steal this idea from her or, more likely, copy some of her idea to create a new playlist for myself. You could create a series of related short videos as a playlist for your nonfiction book, novel, memoir, children’s book, or podcast.Here are my two main playlists about book marketing:Book Marketing Success Podcast (a playlist that syndicates many episodes from my Book Marketing Success Podcast): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBmBDUpR8MYLB0AIBTk3Zau82aW0Y9cZ5.Book Marketing Tips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBmBDUpR8MYJccMHTCuq-loHZ5ORYPso3.Listen to my Book Marketing Success Podcast: https://bookmarketing.substack.comWebsite: https://www.bookmarketingbestsellers.com1001 Ways to Market Your Books: https://amzn.to/3ICjpAsSnipFeed: https://snipfeed.co/bookmarketingAsk me a question and I'll answer back with a video: https://snipfeed.co/bookmarketing/shoutouts/U2hvdXRvdXQ6NjIxZjBmNDFkNTVjODUwMDIzZWQxMzk5Book me as a podcast guest or be a guest for my podcast.

A reading of the inner cover, dedication and the introduction of the bookI have been gathering data and researching the subjects since 2001. That said it took me 56 years to write the book.The information in this e-book is important for all of us and our health.In particular, the initial research was about cancer, and what it really is and how to work with it to recover.  Cancer is not something to be frightened of, it is something to be understood.The research then became something much greater, exploring many avenues of health and the intimate relationship and influence our thoughts and feelings have in our health and well being.To learn more: https://alternativeprinciplesforhealth.info/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/adrianr)

Thanks for reading or listening to this week’s issue of The Gnōmic. It goes out mid-week every week (although I’m a little later this week) and is reserved for paying subscribers. This one is free, and if you’d like to receive it each Wednesday, consider becoming a supporter of Sunday Letters. Thanks for being here.A ThoughtI spend a lot of my time observing people. I ask myself, why does this or that person behave as they do? Why do I behave as I do? The reactions are responses to conditions both in and out of our control. In that sense, Skinner was right, but in favour of a reductionist version of reality, he missed the underlying root cause. These conditions could be the most insignificant everyday occurrences, like bumping into someone when you weren’t looking or the choice of whether or not to let someone into your line of traffic. Or they could be catastrophic, like a car accident or the loss of a loved one. In all of these incidents, we show ourselves. And that self we show can be measured and pre-meditated, or it can be unguarded and reactionary. But in all of that, there is the traumatised individual. It is ultimately unavoidable and forms what Jung referred to as the shadow.Every one of us is traumatised to varying degrees, and it stays with us throughout our lives. We hide it. Some of us hide it very well, and others not so well. Then it explodes in a fit of rage or implodes in a depressive episode and perhaps a suicide attempt. In the homeless drug addict, for example, or the dysfunctional teenager, it may be obvious. It’s easy to see on reality TV; My 600lb Life, Love Island, or any one of the hundreds of reality shows that serve only to commoditise and glorify the most acute manifestations of trauma. We don’t see it in the face of the forty-something mother of three until one afternoon she takes the lives of her three children to save them the pain of her perceived reality. We don’t see it in the everyday actions of the farmer until he kills his lover then burns her on a bonfire of tyres because she was going to leave him. Nor do we see it in the self-employed architect who drops his kids to school every morning, or indeed, in our own compulsive behaviour behind closed doors.As Freud said, “He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.” And so, although we try to hide our own personal trauma, it always finds its expression. Obsessive or compulsive behaviour, neuroticism, addiction, fits of rage, depression and anxiety, feelings of elitism and irrational self-confidence, the pursuit of success and material wealth; all manifestations of a self that hides from the reality of its own experience. Desperate to conceal from itself the trauma of its own past, often convincing itself of its triviality, the self goes about the business of life.I have been traumatised, and I, in turn, have traumatised my children. If I could be a new parent all over again, I would do it very differently. However, I must also recognise that parenting, as it is with all areas of life, cannot be polarised. Too much support, and we make our children over-reliant and weak. Too much stimulation, and we kill their individuality and creative abilities. Just as the obscene is a response to trauma, so are the creative and innovative aspects of human behaviour. There must be balance in every aspect of life, and we can only ever act to achieve that balance now–not yesterday or tomorrow.We can reflect on our actions and decide to act differently, or we can keep doing what we’ve always done. The latter teaches us nothing. There is no growth in that, so we must be willing to address our individual trauma. To learn is to change, and to change is to recognise that life has two sides and that our own personal trauma exists on that darker side. The one that we’d rather not face.On a final note, some may suggest that the above view takes an unnecessarily negative perspective of life and ultimately doesn’t serve us. I would counter that by saying that unless we do, in fact, face that which underlies our behaviour–both positive and negative aspects–we learn nothing about our motivations. The dominant voice on matters of self-care and mental wellbeing calls for positivity, but positivity without perspective is, as I wrote the other week, merely lipstick on a pig.A Quote“Unfortunately, there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be. Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. If an inferiority is conscious, one always has a chance to correct it. Furthermore, it is constantly in contact with other interests, so that it is continually subjected to modifications. But if it is repressed and isolated from consciousness, it never gets corrected.”Carl Jung, Psychology & Religion, 1938.A BookI have several books on the go at any one time. It’s how I read. It has a downside in that by the time I get back to one I started last week, I have forgotten where I was. So I rarely finish anything. It’s not always the case, though. Last summer, I finished Peak by psychologist Anders Ericsson. Although the content was interesting, overall, it was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe I was expecting some kind of revelation, or maybe I just wanted to read him take a chunk out of journalist Malcolm Gladwell for misrepresenting his research.

What I mean by this is do you use words of encouragement such as:I am so proud of the effort you put in todayYou did a great jobIt may not have gone as you wanted but you learned somethingOr, are you making comments like this:You are so stupidYou will never be good at thatYou are not worthyMost people tend to slip into the second category without even thinking about the effect this is having on their self-esteem. We are harsh on our self but we would never dream of saying those things to other people, would we. Why is this? Why are we okay chastising our self when we would not be happy saying the same thing to someone else?Why do we value the feelings of other people more than we value our own?The “Golden rule” tells us to treat other people as we would want to be treated and this is a great thing to remember. My question to you is this: Why would you talk to yourself in a different way than you would want other people to talk to you?Before you start beating yourself up about this I want you to understand that this is a natural response because we have not been taught to value our self as we would value others. I cannot answer why this is the case and in reality, it doesn’t matter what has happened in the past, the important thing is that you start to change it today. I know that this has been my reality and I didn’t realize this until I was 50 years old! I always wanted to please others and would do so at my expense. What I didn’t know was the effect this was having on my confidence and self-esteem. On the surface I appeared confident and self-assured but underneath I was anything but these things. The effect of this was me not loving myself and living in a perpetual state on underlying unhappiness. A mentor of mine, John C. Maxwell, says that you cannot give what you don’t have. So, you may ask, what does this have to do with self-talk? Well, conventional thinking teaches us to love others and while this is true, we have to learn to love our self so that we can give love to other people. In other words, we need to experience the emotion and feelings so that when we do something to make other people feel the same it is a genuine action. I want you to think about the people you admire the most. What do they do that makes you admire them? If you were to meet them what would you say to them?Now the key is to transfer these feelings into how you behave and what you say to yourself. Here are some things that you can do every day to improve your confidence and self-esteem:Write down 3 things that you are grateful forWrite down one thing that you did today which you are proud ofWrite down one lesson that you learned todayWrite down 1-3 things that you said to other people that made you feel goodWrite down 1-3 things that other people said to you that made you feel goodRead 10 pages of a personal development bookI understand that this is going to feel a little strange to start with but I want you to persist. Once you do this for 21 days without missing one day it will become a habit and when this happens it will become natural. I don’t expect you to do all 6 to start with so start with one that speaks to you and master that before adding another. The important thing is that you make a positive change and keep that momentum going. When you do this, you will start to see a difference in your life and I promise you that other people will notice this too. Final message from Chris: Your current circumstance does not define who you are. You are special, you are loved, you are a unique being with unlimited potential so now is the time to rise up and maximize your potential every day.You can connect with me at:Website: www.Chris-J-Baker.comEmail: Chris@Chris-J-Baker.comFacebook Group: Developing Tomorrow's LeadersLinkedIn: Chris BakerInstagram: Chris J BakerTo purchase my book 10 Steps 2 Freedom from Amazon click here.To purchase my book Organizational Culture and Leadership click here

It's not all doom and gloom across the travel industry, that's for sure.And, perhaps as a surprise to many, some travel startups are using the opportunity to shore up their strategy and take advantage of the support that a few governments have offered in order to prop up young businesses.One such company is FindHotel, a Netherlands-based hotel booking platform, which has survived the coronavirus outbreak from an operational perspective, is actually hiring and seeing a fairly bright path forward in the months ahead.The company's CEO, Oz Har Adir, speaks to us on the latest episode of InPhocus about the situation in the Netherlands for startups and how he has managed to keep the brand's team in place, monitor the market and look at new opportunities.There are additional details in a post that he wrote here on Medium.Hosting this week's episode are Charuta Fadnis of Phocuswright and PhocusWire's Kevin May.

We're going to be talking with Johnny hunt. Clint Clifton: Yeah, Johnny Hunt!Josh Turansky: the famous.. the Infamous Clint Clifton: Infamous Johnny Hunt. Yeah. He's a. Man, alive wire just you know, very rarely did I get to rub shoulders with somebody who has been in Ministry so long and had such a consistent impact over the years and Johnny's impact is in large part what he's done to develop pastoral leadersMenu system amazing. He's got in everywhere. You see him. He's rolling deep. He's got guys with him and he's had a long Ministry of mentoring young men and know where do I go around the country that I don't meet people that were his interns or that worked with him and they're doing incredible things in Ministry today, so, He's not just a ferocious evangelist and a great apologist and a good spokesman for the kingdomHe is he's a mentor to a lot of guys and that that says a lot to me. Josh Turansky: He is a yeah this interview that I had the conversation with him and you'll hear that in a second but he's very patient because he had a hard time finding where we were going to meet. Yeah, and I really appreciate his tenacity and chasing us down and Clint Clifton: he didn't have a hard time finding it as much as we kept changing itJosh Turansky: Oh, that's right. Clint Clifton: That's right. It wasn't that wasn't his fault. Let's make him make that clear was our fault. Yeah. Josh Turansky: Yeah and his he's got a great assistant that helped him find a way so. This is going to be this is this is a great topic where we touch a little bit on evangelism. We talked about the fact that he's got people that are following him around and being trained by himClint Clifton: Yeah Josh Turansky: uhmmm.. great. Great material anything else you want to highlight with Clint Clifton: I would just say some of the listeners some of the podcasts guests that we have here are not on the podcast because they have planted a great church themselves or anything like that, but they're on the podcast because they're a champion for the church at large and theyAre a fan and a champion of church planting and that's Johnny for sure. I mean his story is he pastored really large church for a really long time and led them to great ministry. He led that church to plant many churches. He's been, you know, not to real category. I mean the Pastor that.. Passion to me for church planting is never planted a church himself and I think that if you're a pastor and you're listening to this and you hear all the talk about church planting are just like that's not me, man.God may use you in a way to mobilize people and plant churches. That's far beyond what you could accomplish as a church planter yourself. So that's a real category one. You should embrace and that's Johnny's contribution to the church planting World Josh Turansky: Strong point. Excellent. Okay, let's jump right into the episode with Johnny Hunt.Johnny Hunt:So you want to lead your church to multiply, but in order to do that, you have to raise up new potential leaders from inside your congregation. But how in the world are you supposed to do that with all the other plate you have spinning? Well, the North American Mission board is created a tool to help you equip the Saints for the work of the ministryIt's called the multiplication Pipeline and it helps you identify and train missional leaders, potential church planters and potential church planting team members from right there inside your own congregation the pipeline starts with a simple assessment tool and a three-year online training system follows to equip missional leadersLearn more about the multiplication pipeline by visiting their website: namb.net/pipelineJosh Turansky: Alright! Here we are. At the SBC convention with Pastor Johnny Hunt you have been a pastor for years and you've got the best smile in the SBC convention. Johnny Hunt: They can't see it.Josh Turansky: and recently you made a transition of leading your church to in this leadership role with NAMB overseeing evangelism. You have this incredible history of raising up leaders, helping guys plant churchesSo let's let's talk a little bit about this recent transition help help people understand. What is your new role? And what what compelled you to take on this role? Johnny Hunt: Thanks Josh. At Woodstock until the end of the year. So I'm helping transition a new Young Pastor Jeremy Morton and it's going fabulousWe're seven or eight months in and I will leave their Lord willing to end of December. And so I've dreamed of year for years of what I'd like to do in the last quarter of my life and two major areas is pastoral leadership, which I've done through Timothy Barnabas for 25 years. I've also mentored two pastors a year at my office for the last 25 years. So that's been a given in my life. And then evangelism, our church is always in every church I've served in 43 years have been leaders in evangelism. So I would like to challenge Southern Baptists to once again put evangelism on the front burner. And so I'm doing dual roles because I'm trying to do less at Woodstock and then I'm doing more with NAMB, but then come January 1 it will be 1 job. Josh Turansky: Wow. Okay, so you were talking a little bit about your involvement interaction with church planting in LA some specific observations that you may tell us a little bit about that story Johnny Hunt: NAMB asked me a few years ago, if I would become lead Pastor for LA Initiative and Woodstock would become lead church so I did, so I began to work with some of our NAMB employees out there. And so what they would like me to do is to go out and bring about eight of the pastor's in close to us and I would take I took over 200 passengers out there to see the work asking to be involved. So we would have like Banquets Town meetings for lunches and we would or even go to the campuses and say to the young Church Planters,Tell us what God's doing how long you been here who you're trying to reach tell us about your ministry. Tell us about your needs because these guys were joining with them and I regret to say this but many of them had been there two and a half years. They went to you meet. We don't know. Sometimes we meet once a month sometimes as every other monthWe're not meeting regular right now and try to get together with the guys. And so so what is your core group like it, you know right now as far as what we can depend on we've got seven I'm thinking, you know, there's 19 million people out here 19 million second largest city next to New York proper and I'm thinking wow and you know, You there's a way to say itSomeone says you can't see the forest for the trees do a reverse play. You can't see a tree for the forest. Sometimes such a mass - that you don't see anybody and so God help me today to see what you see feel what you feel love who you love so I would see that but then when I meet when I say we tell me about you know, what you're doingI mean. Who are you witnessing to? Who is it your real passion about and it seemed like it turn more to demographics distances the people that live in that building, but it was it was all shaped in such a way that it was it was not personal and then on the other hand we would talk to those that were really on the move and it was, Hey pray!Well, we've got these three families in our neighborhood that we're after we've invited him into our home. We're praying. We're carrying through prayer. I shared the gospel of first time with this one, but they had names they were after people we're in the people business and like saying relationship, so, take Matt Lawson at our church there in BurbankI was just with him a few weeks ago. He had neighbors but he would be out in his yard and he would think Boyd a moment make it look I'm speaking and they just walked right by winning look, but then he began to think everyone's walking their dogs. So he took his children out in the yard and he put bowls of water and even some like dog biscuitsI thought it was so cool and in all the dogs would have go to and say, ‘Hey come and join”. I mean everybody around here's got a pet and while they were sitting and drinking the water and all then he would engage them or hey cute sun bear and they begin we've got a little boy and been engaging and they were always thinking of events they could do but to engage people to build relationship because I sent him out thereHe had only spent a half a day in LA in his life. So this is not like I've lived out there that visited their lot gots capture my heart. He Supernatural is called, you know plant Advanced Pittman in Las Vegas 17 years ago 18 now, but Vance was an associate pastor had left a pastoring and I was preaching but I had got it laid Las Vegas on my heart and it was the fastest growing city in America 18 years ago, and I thought we don't have a significant Southern Baptist work out thereOr not enough. Thanks some I shouldn't put it that way. They were some significant changes, but Ian we planted him with three families? That was it has three families from Alabama For Heaven's Sake move into to the. And now, they enjoyed over 3,000 on the weekend of started over 40 churches from that oneSo we have planted over a hundred church at Woodstock and we're not counting like he has to like say if we could there are grandbabies, but if we included those are Church plants probably pushing 300 well in others that we don't planted Paul godhardt out there. I mentored him for a year. So it's been encouraging but we've got to be in the people businessThere's an old song that says God love people more than anything. That's the truth. Josh Turansky: Wow. So just we're just having the numbers come out for the Southern Baptist in regards to baptisms confessions of faith, and the numbers are down and that's a trend that's been going on for almost a decade and you're stepping into this new role emphasizing evangelism and so tell me the story about the origins of this new role. Johnny Hunt: Basically, that is a problem last year to Southern Baptist convention. They were lots and way of resolutions on the floor about hey, let's hold them accountable. They ought to be leading out and evangelism and sometimes gotten a mixed signal owners life way lead this or this NAMB, but the bottom line is the pastor is going to have to lead it. But someone does need to be out beating the drum keeping it in front of us is. We do with I am be or any other Ministry before us so in that context JD Greer begin to talk about who's your one and I had written material back in like 2007 just entitled one and so it resonated in my heart the biblical text and all and I thought this will work and we really we really have itI shared it with 280 leaders yesterday, which was encouraging I was with our. Associational missionary strategist formerly the OMS and basically is the largest gathering they've ever had in the history of their movement. And so it really encouraged me hopefulness, but their boots on the ground across the convention and we've got a major major strategy, but here's what's going to have to happenWe got to stop the bleeding. We are bleeding. We're at a 1940 love. Oh in baptisms, so in continuing to get worse each year. The grace of God will stop the bleeding and then I really do believe we can turn it around and someone might say, well you really believe you can turn around. Oh, no, we can turn it aroundIt's going to be the pastor's of the Southern Baptist convention. So bottom line is I believe it all my heart they'll buy in and if they don't buy in we won't move the needle a moment, but if they do, I think we could see significant change just as we've seen significant change in the wrong directionJosh Turansky: Well, so you have this background of working with one-on-one with developing leaders, which I want to talk with you about in a second. But as you come into this role of leading this Initiative for evangelism, it seems like a very high-level role. But the example of your ministry is very is mentoring one-to-one. So how do you affect change from such a high level into across 4747 thousand churches?Johnny Hunt: Yeah. Yeah. That's a great question. So just like yesterday and really I thought about my message for a year to be with those guys yesterday and it's significant to be in that room because I got a text message last Sunday morning at like 5 o'clock in the morning said, pray for this pastor his mother just died and pray for this pastors follow just at who else knows that state execs can't know it national level can't know it sometimes pastors don't even know it but DOMs know what churches are open what churches are growing. I mean, they really are the boots on ground.They're the ones that are messaging thee local church. They're the ones that can pick up the phone, go worship with them, visit them. So we want to keep it personal so it's really bottom-up still. So if I get with them and convince them of something that's reality. Number one, I love you, I'm for you, You are importantI mean, I don't know that I've heard a lot of people trumping lately that Association missionary strategies were the DOMs are really important. But I believe they can be important to our movement then. Secondly, I've made it a Ministry of training pastors a platform where a lot of pastors come to my Timothy Barnabas schoolsSo I engage with them we say we don't have a green room. I'm always with them. So I'm messaging them, but I'm also there. You know, giving them details of how they can be involved. Then you certainly tomorrow on our platform will give more of a national challenge. But when we go to a city for instance in our Hoosier want or have great music the churches we go to really really are already on the move but want to go to a new level and then we will really message not just for that state but within a hundred-mile radius.My team at the name is going to really I mean just we're going to let those people know who should be in that room. And I'm of the conviction time will tell that will need our AV team to be set up for overflow and simulcast I believe everywhere we go the younger.Josh Turansky: well, can we talk about evangelism philosophicallySo there's a lot of different images that come to people's mind when they hear evangelism. You've got Crusades, you have Street evangelism. In my church. We kind of make a point of saying hey our primary means of evangelism is relational just being normal with people God's put around you. What are you emphasizing as you're talking with pastors? Obviously, one-to-one sounds highly relational.Johnny Hunt: right? Yeah. And really in a way if we're going to really change the trend it's going to be all of the above. But the truth is it is relational. For instance. When we have one of the most beautiful stories of five significant New Testament people converted and seven verses of scripture in 1st John chapter 1 verse 35 through 42, it's here that Jesus undoubtedly leads Andrew to the Lord Jesus leads Philip to the Lord, Andrews goes in his brother, we got to get back to being faithful to share the gospel with our family what we say across the country is families the hardest people in the world witness to that becomes a self-fulfilled prophecy, which they think is an excuse not to share the gospel with a family who under Heaven could love my mother, my father, my siblings more than me are so I want to I want to I want to speak into a live at needs to go back to hell where it came from.Number two, when Philip got converted he went for Nathanie,l who's Nathaniel his friend. So basically, I think it's friends, relatives, work associates, neighbors in the old days and seminary. It was the concentric circles. I'm at Starbucks regular have I ever shared a word we go on first name basis. I give them a gift at Christmas so that is it, it is a relationship, but then there's lots of people got put you in touch with I travel almost every day of my life. I'm on a plane, I'm engaged and I am engaging, sometimes I'm sleeping. But but I want to I want to be relational in our church the most effective witness and visits are somebody comes through and I say, hey stop by our connect desk.I wrote a new book believe it or not. It actually was good and I want to give you a copy of it. They go by and get its tangible expression of our love and appreciation for them, 99% of a give us all the information we want because we've engaged them there and hey first time whatever and then we take those cards and they certainly are the easiest either make an appointment with or to drop by and say hey we simply came by to say thank you for coming however, in my travels people are telling me that churches they go to and fill out cards eight out of 10 of them never follow up. So it don't matter to you have the information if you're not after it, but then we we at Woodstock still do door-to-door visitation and we but it's We Care through prayers exactly what we just did when over 10,000 homes here at crossoverSo it's both an it's Rick gauges and county seats that just had 8,000 people as crusading. 400 professions of faith in like three nights. It's not either/or. I mean we're going to focus on our local churches in different ones, but elect support all thank God for Franklin Graham Southern Baptist. Thank God for Rick. I mean Greg Laurie that we've partnered with and Southern Baptist life 3,000 professions of Faith last year in Dallas. It's a follow up. And we can pick and say 3000 who's going to follow up. I'd like to say this it is no greater burden that we call accountability follow up to 3000 and the fact that we follow it with the one that responds at our church somethingJosh Turansky: Okay. So let's. Get a little bit into the weeds just for the sake of listeners, okay? So in as I think about my congregation looking at people on Sunday, I have most of the people there have a relationship with the Lord. And they enjoy church, but my frustration is getting more people to translate their faith into the day-to-day.So we have a couple of things initiatives, but I just don't feel like I'm getting traction with my congregation. They love the Bible, they Love to Worship, but in terms of Monday morning living out their faith in an Evangelistic way on Mission just don't feel like I'm getting traction. What would what would you say if you stepped into that setting?Johnny Hunt: First of all, I commend you for sizing it up because sometimes people don't even know where their church is. And if you're going to lead them to where you feel they need to be, you need to know where they are and then secondly, the commendation is, you're not satisfied with that. I think we have fallen into lethargy in our denomination because if I were to say to a congregation. Pray about God laying a soloing heart the way we used to pray it is this Lord lay some poor soul upon my heart and love that Soul through me.So it's like Jesus when he talks about we need more workers in the Harvest. He said pray to the Lord of the Harvest that he would send more into his Harvest. Well, if I'm the one praying about Harvest, I think he's going to send me, I mean is it likes going burden somebody else if I've got the burden. Josh Turansky: Right. Yeah.Johnny Hunt: You know, so I'm going to God. If I were in your church right now, I would magnify the Hoosier one. I mean number one, you got our prayer God. Why did we do a prayer guide? Because it's not resources as much as they need a change of heart. Think about this if I stand up and just what you described and I would describe a lot of that it would stock.All right, so I know where they are and they're not really engaging if I were to say to them. I want you to pray over the next week about not just anyone but Hoosier one. Is there somebody God's laying on your heart actually burdened about not just hey, that would be neat if I could witness that person and wind them, but somebody you really burdened about is it a sibling, is it a parent, a grandparent, a cousin, is it somebody you work with, somebody go to school with? All right, so they but the fact that they have to think for week or two to even think of a critical witness to who are they by passing? Really not being ugly, but maybe we need to be jolted in the jolt needs to be you don't know your neighbors, you know, yeah, make it an effort who lives in front of you who lives on either side of you who lives on your street.Have you ever done anything? To engage the people in your street or your neighborhood. So the fact that they don't even have anyone on the radar. It just shows where we are. Josh Turansky: Yeah.Johnny Hunt: How can we turn the trend? We were not even thinking lostness and I someone's asked me to think about it and it is it's good fault in that.Are we even messaging wrong? Like hey, we got so many unreached people. Yes, they are unreached. But guess what? Jesus said they're lost. If you want to go step father. Jesus said that he that believeth not is condemned already. Not that they're going to be condemned. There are t in the state of being condemned just waiting to be cut off so that helped me with my father when I thought you know, if I don't get to Dad soon debt that's going to be condemned one day now dad already has condemned. He's in a state of of headed hell right now instead of he's going to go to hell he is going to hell. There's a difference so it really caught more. So you do the journal and then we give out the card and then we begin to really pray and you know, if they want to put with his first names you can put them on a board, have different prayer meetings where people come and then really celebrate when they come. So what if every one of your congregation was encouraged and listen to this, Josh? When I'm trying to cast this Vision, I'll talk about it tomorrow Lord, Wellington whole convention. When I try to cast this Vision we baptized west of 450,000 people this year. We average in southern Baptists Life 5 million 2000 people and some change in our morning worships average in southern Baptists lifeIf 10% of your congregation 10% of mine 10% of our denomination only 10 Baldy in the Hoosier one just just use that and say we're going after one and be able to say, hey, I'm averaging a hundred. I've got 10 of my people and they were to be successful and win one this year. Not only will be double baptisms in one year.We would baptize morning. We baptized in any given year since we were Southern Baptist convention since 1845 that is not rocket science. If only one-tenth how often do I want a cast vision and be satisfied but only 1/10, you know, hey, I would like you all to be here tonight. I'm casting Vision.How did it go? Hey 10% of them came back. You'd be you'd be home crying asking. Your family too, you know pat you on the back rub your head. Josh Turansky: Yeah. No man, that's powerful.So it sounds like you're referencing some tools and resources are those things on a website or how do people connect with this initiative.Johnny Hunt: WhosYourOne.com Only sees to tour where I'm going to go to the cities all across America over the next two to three years. Lord willing. And we'll be in major cities in a close to hopefully everybody when it's all said and done we're encouraging to come in for. First of all, I think we're not even inspired to win people to Christ. There's something to be said about inspiration but also instruction, so I'll travel would say new song Charles Billingsley or alikes. And they all saying 1520's engage everybody in the congregation and worship and then I'll bring a message of real clear biblical message about where we are. And then the next morning feed you great breakfast all name and then at about 8:30 to 12:00 that we're going to have four in different cities different people some of the best instructors they are, that are doing it that will not only give you material whether it's a Jimmy Scroggins and he says, here’s 3 circles. Or whether it's James Merritt were putting together his four questions. So we're going to give resources but we do still know this, If God does it do a work in the heart give us a passion resources is not the answer but for those who are already passionately doing what they can with what they have. We're going to give them, encouraging resource stand with them. Steve Gaines has put together a three-hour teaching session that he can teach in about an hour. Just flying through it to give you a gist because guys are thinking when I get back home like say for instance if you said you were going to do your, who's your one, we will encourage over about five weeks? Whether it be some testimonies of people that have led people to Christ, messages challenging messages of God, aligning our hearts with his, he came to seek and to save that which was lost. What is the Great Commission these statements? The gospel is good news only if it gets there in time, you know, I don't want the people in the community to not be warned.He's he killed three Ezekiel 33 all the various reasons we ought to. But the main thing is, you know, God break her heart for what breaks yours what breaks his he went every time he wept it was over Nations people. So we think that we can not only give a Clear Vision of how to get there and what we want to do but resource you to do it as well.So we feel like we've answered all the questions but there you can download the devotions free, you can download the the Who’s your one cards. Testimonies there provide videos for you to just share in your church to just really emphasize them. Like one by JD, one by me. This 45 seconds is just emphasizing just one just one and then we're already hearing the stories of a.. in three weeks, I got focused. God’s turned my heart and one one one young pastor called the other day and said alright going to give my testimony. I'm not would not baptize anybody for years. He said in the last three months we baptized. That will turn the trend because most of our churches are small the vast majority have of our church is about vocational but good leaders.Josh Turansky: Yeah,men great. Okay, so we'll link to those resources also in the show notes when this goes out. Let's let's turn to leadership development because this is another passion that you have. And you've been doing this for years. It's not just something that you're talking about from an ivory Tower, but it's something that you've practiced and modeled years and years and years.. Why is this something you care about? Johnny Hunt: Yeah, you know, basically, I am what others have invested in me. I mean when you look back over your life, you know, they say the older you get the more you reflect. The lips love to read the Psalms the Psalms are very reflective and oftentimes, it's David telling a story of his tough time but how he won the victory. I mean, they really are Psalms of ascent. I mean it's once he got out of it, but it tells what he went through so I reflect a lot and I look back on it, I think I can, I'm 23 years old. I don't even have money to go to school and raised by single mom. Dad checked out when I was seven, raised in a project, you know High School Dropout and then God saved me and here comes a guy named Alfred Joiner and I've got a question and he's got an answer. I've got a Bible but it's brand new to me. And he begins to teach me the Bible, he begins to take me out and I'm able to observe him witnessing but he did something I need to do better and he threw me in threw me and he just be out talking to some rough guy and he'd say hey, I'm glad Johnny's with me because Johnny Johnny wants to take a moment to tell you what happened to him three weeks ago.And that really is what witnesses doing is telling what happened to you how you fit into this is God's story. So I look back on that. And so three years,I went never mentioned anything about Alfred now. I hardly ever preached a sermon especially in discipleship. Don't talk about Alfred investing in me and we're still connected even though we're in different states and all and then the person God raises up to say, hey the Lord laid it on my heart to pay for your education, buy you some clothes. I mean, God's met me just like you met Elijah with bread and the water flowed in the brook and God provided for him sent Ravens to feed him with these are the Ravens of my life. They just two legged and. In skin so I mean the develop me so I look back on it and at every point somebody was there pouring into me.So I wrote a lesson out of my heart entitled, The Stewardship of Influence. So here's what I ask five questions. And fifth question is why I lead? who influenced you? when? why? how? Here’s the question? What have you done with the influence? Have I allowed that to be a deposit in me that's given this given a return and so basically I feel that I need to take what they put in me and then do the same thing for others.So my wife and I have practice helping someone to stay in seminary a college ever since we got on our feet because someone did the same thing for us. So we want to do for others what has been done for us. So we did that and then I look at that and I think most people research it shows does not have someone to believe in them.Most don't believe in themselves. If you do believe in someone they will know it and know what they know it. They'll do everything they can to make you proud of them. So I have taking young pastors. Some people always ask me, what did you Santana just teach him. No? Jesus and his discipleship, the key word is he was with them.So I just let them go with me. They got a deacons meeting with me then go to a finance committee. We got my staff meetings. My staff retreats, travel overseas with me. I do some pretty decent expenditure in library that I say you need to read these books or are there some books you want to read and I want to purchase.And then it's as they hear me in daily life. Then when we're together by herself. They begin to say Hey, you made a decision there and I just knew when they asked you to question you were going to say this, but why did you say this? You know how I make decisions? They're able to see how if I do practice Grace in dealing with some hard situations that are brought up and staff.So they learn that way. So after this meeting today, I'm entered a guy probably 10 years ago. He's now Seminary graduate been pastoring for years. So I'm in the gym this morning. Oh my God, I can't believe I ran into you. So we're going to meet after my meeting here and to again continue your mentoring so it goes on and on and on. So these guys, you know remembered her over 50 some years, I did three because I did International students just an international student just graduated from Southwestern Seminary, but when I trained him that was not on the scope, so it's helped them to believe in themselves and which most don't and they know I believe in them. And so I've kept an open line so my phone's inbox always full of emails. Answer calls or texts in from what guys say. Most people won't return your call. Most people don't answer your emails. I personally answer all of my own emails. And so that's why I can't sleep late late at night. And so but I really stayed engaged with them and I think that may be why God helps to platform.I've done so much. I've traveled so many years. I've done State evangelism, Pastors conference, convention, led to Convention, led to pass camera. I've been there but I've been there on a level of knowing them and I'll give you this piece when God began to bless me Jimmy Draper in his 80s now and he just wrote a bookI wrote the forward to it is entitled. Don't quit before you finish great great book, but basically he said to me when I was in my 30s late 30s God. Seems to really be blessing you. Would you really pray about bringing Next Generation with you? But it just kind of like, okay, what the hell does that mean.So I had to make my mind up? Today, I could be in some significant meetings, you know special meetings of the large Church round table or whatever, but I may choose to be with the guys in the two hundred churches for lunch and that type thing the younger leaders and I've done that for so many years.Well, now those young leaders are becoming the nationally known leaders. So now I can continue to network with them and maybe even influence them to be effective in the ones coming behind them. But I've watched God raise people up people can say boy that Jeff Crook is quite a leader in my heart. I can say I've been mentoring him over 20 years. Boy, look how God is using John Cross been with him for over 20 years. Wow, the Devon's done well. Spend a year with him, we continue to mentor the young man that is becoming the map and the pastor of my church. He's started following me and he was 17, 20 years ago, 10 years ago started coming almost schools. Three years ago started saying, well I meet with him like on a monthly basis or so to speak into his life.I didn't know he was going to be the one to follow me. I mean, so yeah, God was raising them up. Josh Turansky: so the push back your get you probably get is I'm a pastor. I'm so busy. How do I have time for that? Johnny Hunt: Yeah. Number one. We all have the same amount of time and it really and I write in this area in leadership is time management and a lot of people just aren't managing their time well.We really have time to do everything, we consider important. I encourage guys that if you got someone you less you always I really really want to do this, but I'm just so busy. I can't get to it. I said you're really frustrating yourself take it off the list because it's not important that you would have done it.You know, I'm date my wife every week. It's important. I'm going to have special times with my children and grandchildren. It's important. I know I need to meet my staff. I want to be very prepared when I preach so you got to do that. So I sleep. I'm not a six and a half seven our guidance all I require but I go to bed at 10:00 and I'm normally up about five so I get into the day people need to know their best time today.My best time today is in the morning. So I give my mornings to the Lord to my research. And that type thing. So this year, I'm producing three books different areas help with a lot of help with some of them, but you can do it, you know if it's a priority and you know how to work with deadlines and yet I want to learn to really practice margins.So when I leave here, got some couple speaking engagements, a week away when my wife next week, speaking engagements.Take July off. But what I do in July I think a lot of reflecting a lot of, write a lot but but only in the margins of the day, you know, I'm an early riser. My wife is a night owl. So I got me a good three or four hours and one for she gets up.So go to work and when she gets up, Hooo! Just been waiting on you.Josh Turansky: So listening to you talk about this. It sounds like you have no regrets of mentoring guys for years and it's been really rewarding. Johnny Hunt: Yeah, 90 year olds were asked recently. If you could do life over again, what would you do different and though we get the more you think about it? Wow, what would I do differently.Here's what they said. I take greater risk. I would reflect more but I would invest more in that which will outlast me. How could you possibly when you talk about your church and how you can leave them? The greatest investment you'll ever make is in them because the day will come that you have a generation your age and you will be much older.And they will continue.. able Hebrews 11:4 through his dad yet. He speaks people will still be speaking that we invested in. I love to quote my dead friends. I mean honestly like to say I want to say it Adrian Rogers said it forever and I want to say it for him now that he's with the Lord. And I quote him I do the same thing with Ron Dan with Ben Hafner, with John Phillips.You know, I heard John so many times when I'd say, I'll never forget here. John saying it hear John say it again through me, you know, so Josh Turansky: awesome. Well Pastor Johnny, thank you so much for giving us 30 minutes of your time investing in future Church Planters current Church Planters on both these things evangelism leadership development those..That's that's right where the rubber meets the road for these guys that are out there.

When I first came upon Booki Vivat's book series, "Frazzled", I instantly knew I wanted them. I was vending at a market and decided I was going to buy them from my book seller neighbor, (but Camilo said I bought enough books... then later bought them for me for Christmas, so it was a win!) Not only is she an author/illustrator (win again!), but she’s obsessed with pastries. It was so exciting to get to interview someone who (also) wrote and illustrated a book for middle grade kids, and Booki’s story is super interesting! Make sure to listen to find out how she went from working at a publishing house, to becoming a published author, without even pitching any books!! As always, thank you SO MUCH for listening!I’d love to hear from you! @jenipherlyn or @rainydaydiariespod www.jenipherlyn.com

I speak to Author Stone Wallace about his great biography of George Raft- The Man That Would Be Bogart. I was not the biggest George Raft fan but I thought he was fascinating. After reading his bookI felt I knew George and liked him a lot. He was a complex man. He was sensitive, insecure and one hell of a dancer. We talk his hardscrabble upbringing in Hells Kitchen. How he got into dancing. When and how he got into movies. The broads and dames he loved and lost. I truly felt sad for George. His hanging with gangsters made his life harder then need be. My armchair shrink thinks he wanted away from these guys but was afraid of what they might do. We talk it all. Thanks so much to Stone Wallace for coming on the show.Thanks so much to the listeners. Even if you don't really care about George Raft I think you would like learning about him.Thanks tons,xoxoGraceStonestonewallace.nethttp://www.noiroftheweek.com/2008/06/red-light-1949.htmlhttp://www.noiroftheweek.com/2008/08/rogue-cop-1954.htmlhttp://www.noiroftheweek.com/2008/04/they-drive-by-night-1940.htmlOther podcastswww.thebroadsway.podbean.comwww.inyourfacewithdonnieandgrace.com/newsAll  podcasts are on iTunes and podbean app. ​

Mary and I had a fun, wonderful and amazing time with our guest Paul Sheldon. For me personally the thing I love about Paul’s writing is his amazing ability of writing with creativity and using a lot graphic descriptions, symbolic meaning (Metaphors and allegories) in his work to get across an idea in your mind. I really love his messages and stories and think he has a wonderful way of conveying the moral OR the Christian message behind each and every one (You can see his illustrative ideas in your mind very easily). I love his transparency not only in his stories but in him as he tells us his life God and Jesus and his own life experiences. For someone who claims he never started out as a writer, I feel he has an amazing gift. God has blessed him. I really feel that if anyone wants to read a illustrative and wonderful book they should pick up a copy of Paul’s bookI feel this testimonial will bless you, it’s a good account about how God can do amazing things in your life.

Whitney Cummings joins Sophia to discuss her latest bookI'm Fine and Other Lies; a memoir about being diagnosed as co-dependent, . Along the way, she blends hilarious anecdotes with thought provoking commentary on feminism, sex and body dysmorphia. 

Booki Vivat (@thebookiv), debut author illustrator of Frazzled: Everyday Disasters and Impending Doom, stops by the podcast to talk about doodles taking over the pages of her planner, being the kind of kid who is always freaking out, and trying to figure out who you are and where you belong.

As Genevieve Georget and I began talking through the high-level details of her book (scheduled to launch September 30, 2016), she understandably had lots of questions. Many of them are, perhaps, questions you've had as you thought about writing a book.Will anyone want to read it?How will I market it?How do I find a good printer?Do I sell through Amazon?How do I get book signings (and do they really even matter)?I promised her that we would address each and every one of her questions and concerns but first, I had one very important question I needed her to answer. Without knowing the answer to this question, it would be challenging for us to move forward and be confident that we were on the “right” path for her project.And that question was:In the series premier of THE MAKING OF A BESTSELLING BOOK, Gen and I discuss:Why she REALLY writesHer honest opinion of the post that so many instantly lovedHandling the haters (because they WILL come)Her own personal WHY when it comes to the writing and publishing of her first bookI'd love to hear from you! What publishing questions do you have? Bring 'em on in the comments below! I read every single one.

Scripture reference: Ruth 1:1-6 (ESV)Naomi Widowed1 In the days when the judges ruled there was a famine in the land, and a man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there. 3 But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. They lived there about ten years, 5 and both Mahlon and Chilion died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.Ruth's Loyalty to Naomi6 Then she arose with her daughters-in-law to return from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the fields of Moab that the Lord had visited his people and given them food.---• Themes in the bookI.
