Finally—the first unit of reading this year! We are reading all kinds of English literature, from histories to plays, and even some poetry, and this is the episode I share with you what's on the list.When we decided to go on this trip to England, I thought this was a great time to combine an old routine of “pre-vacation reading” with my newfound enjoyment of old, classic, and even “great” books. This is the first time I've put together anything more than just one or two titles, though, and I'm interested to see how it works out.While I haven't finished everything yet, here is what's on the list right now:Venerable Bede—An Ecclesiastical History of England (Honestly way more fun than it sounds)Alfred the Great—A History of the Anglo-Saxon People (and Vikings!)Bijan Omrani—God Is an Englishman (modern history that talks about English Christianity and the Church of England)Henry Fielding—The History of Thomas Jones, a Foundling (I've never read anything that more embodies the word “rollicking”)Anne Brontë—The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (less rollicking for sure)The Book of Common Prayer (1662 Edition)Helene Hanff—84, Charing Cross Road and Q's Legacy (set in London but that's okay)James Herriott—All Creatures Great and Small (for Yorkshire atmosphere)William Shakespeare—Henry IV Parts 1 and 2; Henry V (the history England THINKS is true)I've already read many of these, but we are only leaving for our trip this week. So come with me while we see if this helps, was too much, or maybe I missed the mark entirely! What should I add for a trip to Yorkshire and Scotland?

This week we continued our series “A New Humanity” and jumped into Romans 14. Have you ever been so sure you were right... and it still went wrong?We live in a world full of strong, loud opinions, and if we're not careful, we can start valuing being right more than loving people well and that's where things start to break down. In Romans 14, Paul doesn't hold back. He challenges us to pursue unity in the middle of disagreement, stop majoring in minor things, and learn how to carry our convictions in a way that actually reflects Jesus. What if the goal isn't to win every conversation, but to build something stronger together? What if the way we treat people in disagreement actually says more about our faith than the position we hold?Romans 14 gets really practical about how we handle disagreements as followers of Jesus. Paul reminds us that not everything is a salvation issue, and challenges us not to judge or look down on each other over those non-essential differences. Instead, we're called to pursue peace and build each other up. Paul wants us to understand how to hold strong convictions while still loving people well, how to follow what God is leading you to do without forcing it on others, and how to choose unity even when it's hard. Tune into this week's message called, “When Being Right Goes Wrong.”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

As a divorced mom, I raised three sons, and for my two youngest, I was doing it completely without their father. I remember the weight of that and the realization that I wasn't "daddy" and I couldn't be, because nature just wasn't designed that way. But I learned a secret while struggling to come up with effective ways to get out of survival mode. Mothering solo doesn't mean parenting alone. I began co-parenting with God, relying on Him to fill the gaps that felt too wide for me to bridge.The strategy started with a hard truth we have to help our sons grasp: God is nothing like men. If an earthly father was absent or unloving, a boy's view of "Father God" is often fractured. We have to reframe that character through our own leadership and by diving into the Word to show them a Father who never leaves. But it doesn't stop with us. I remember when my youngest was 13 and terrified of the calling on his life. I prayed for a mentor, and God provided a youth pastor who was also a court attorney. He was a man of stability and integrity who stayed. Twenty years later, they are still friends. That mentorship didn't just give my son a role model; it gave him a blueprint for manhood.I've always prioritized conversation and community. People used to stop me on the train and ask, "Is that your son? You two talk like you're friends." I took pride in that because I knew I had to be the sum of his influences. Yet, as Jim Rohn famously said, “we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with.” With that in mind, being mindful of the company your sons keep is crucial int keeping him focused on what's important in life. I had to oversee his "circle of five," ensuring he was surrounded by godly peers. Note: The only reason I created a Facebook account was to oversee my son's action on social media. I was terrified that they would connect with unsafe people online. But I needn't worry and I realized I didn't need to keep on eye on them all the time. I encourage you also, to add another layer to your leadership when daddy is absent. Encourage your son to read about biblical role models like David, who was far from perfect but was humble. He recognized when he messed up and embraced God to help him escape trouble. Also, Joseph, who modeled integrity despite the many difficulties her suffered. Finally by building consistent spiritual habits—reading the Word and praying together—our sons can move from fearing their future to embracing their calling. We don't have to live continuously in survival mode. We can help our sons shake the legacy of absence and raise men who will stand strong for generations.While the heart of our mission is spiritual, we must also use the right tools to ensure this message reaches every mother searching for a lifeline.If the idea of God as your Father intrigue you, I encourage you to check out Day 12: God, Our Father in Courage to Believe 21 Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.

What “Take Captive Every Thought” Means“Taking every thought captive” refers to actively gaining control over your mind rather than letting thoughts run unchecked. It involves: Identifying and challenging thoughts, ideas, or arguments that oppose God's truth or knowledge of Him (such as lies, doubts, temptations, fears, or worldly philosophies). Submitting those thoughts to Christ's authority—evaluating them against Scripture and aligning them with obedience to Jesus. Listen in so we can take a deep dive and provide some helpful thoughts.

Submit. Possibly the hardest word in the English language.We've all watched authority go bad – the boss, the coach, the leader who let us down. So this isn't a sermon about politics. It's about a deeper question: How do I live in a world I didn't design, under leaders I didn't choose, next to neighbors I didn't pick?Romans 13 doesn't fix the crisis of authority by giving us a perfect leader – there isn't one. It fixes it by lifting our eyes to the one Authority who used His power not to take, but to die. We'll talk about honoring people we didn't vote for, learning our neighbors' names, and staying awake to the King who's coming.Tune into this week's message titled, “Honor. Love.

Have you ever had one of those moments where you realize you've been carrying something you were never meant to carry?Maybe it's trying to hold your life together. Maybe it's trying to fix yourself. Maybe it's the pressure of proving your worth, securing your future, or becoming the person you think you should be.The truth is, most of us spend a lot of time trusting ourselves to do what only God can do.This Sunday, we continued our series “A New Humanity” in Romans 11. Paul tackles a difficult question: What happens when people reject God's way? Is mercy exhausted? Is the story over?His answer is surprisingly hopeful.Romans 11 reminds us that mercy isn't God's backup plan. It IS the plan. While we often double down on self-reliance, God continues to pursue people with patience, grace, and an invitation to come back home.If you've ever wrestled with disappointment, control, self-sufficiency, or wondered whether God's grace really applies to you, this message will encourage you.Tune into this week's message called, “Mercy Is The Master Plan”!Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Episode Summary:In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I tackle the profound weight of financial uncertainty and the fear that so often grips single mothers. When every day brings a new blow to your bank account, how do you stretch a single income? Before offering quick, micro-solutions, we dive into the macro-spiritual battle against anxiety.This episode answers the question many solo mothers ask:"How can I stretch a single income to cover rising food and housing costs?"I've tried to answer this question 2 ways:1) By sharing my own personal journey as it relates to Fear: Leaning to Trust, which is Day 1 in the devotional; and2) Providing micro tips and strategies to stretch your budget and create additional (or some) means of income.Sharing my own raw, lived experience from the height of the 2007 financial crisis, I recount how I packed my two youngest sons into a Toyota Camry and drove 900 miles from Atlanta to New York City for a job guaranteed for only two weeks. Through obedience, sudden shifts, and total reliance on God, that temporary job unlocked 17 months of provision and set up a 14-year career.If you are a solo mom feeling overwhelmed, scared, or isolated, this episode is a reminder that God sees you, holds your hand, and promises to uphold you. Tune in for spiritual grounding, followed by practical steps to shifting from survival mode to absolute transformation.Key Takeaways & Reflection Questions:The Grip of Financial Fear: Financial pressure breeds fear of the present and the future, often driving us to make desperate, impulsive decisions we later regret.The Anatomy of a Faith Leap: True trust means following God's leading even when the plan changes unexpectedly, or when others think your choices are crazy.God is a Consistent Provider: God doesn't just hand you a breakthrough and leave you to fend for yourself; He protects, stays with you, and handles the long-term aftermath.Actionable Self-Reflection: Grab a notebook and map out: What exactly am I fearful of losing? Is it shelter, a job, or control? Pinpointing the root helps you hand it over cleanly.Scripture MentionedIsaiah 41:10 (NKJV): > "Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."Resources & Links Mentioned in this Episode:Read the Devotional: This episode expands on Day 1 (Fear) of the Courage to Believe: 21-Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms.

This Sunday we jumped back into our series in Romans with chapter 9. This is the chapter that has ended more friendships than any other passage in Scripture. Pastors skip it. Scholars fight over it. And this Sunday, we went straight in, why? Because the Holy Spirit included it for a reason.We're going to wrestle with a question that's bigger than any theology debate, one that confronts us every single day: Does God actually get to be God? Not God as a concept we manage, not God as a consultant we call when things get rough, but God as God. Sovereign. Mysterious. Trustworthy. This passage is going to stretch us, challenge us, and honestly — if we let it — it's going to set us free. Tune into this week's message called, “Does God Get to Be God?”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

In this episode pulls a theme from Day 5 of the Courage to Believe Devotional, and our focus is a heavy but deeply necessary one: Grief and Coping with Loss.Most people automatically connect grief with a funeral. We think it only belongs when someone passes away. But as today's interview with Coach Chi illustrates, grief happens profoundly when we lose a relationship through divorce.The brain processes the loss of a mapped-out future the exact same way it processes a physical death. You are mourning a timeline that suddenly no longer exists. Because we build such strong emotional connections, a breakup hits us with a physical, devastating force. And if we don't realize we are grieving, that hidden pain will eventually find a way to show up in other areas of our lives.This episode is for you if you're having trouble coping with the loss of your relationship.Curious about what Day 5 of Courage to Believe 21 Day Christian Devotional for Single Moms covers?

Join us on the Your Message Received podcast as host John Duffin interviews Aurora Winter—MBA, award-winning author, TV executive producer, and strategic brand showrunner—about why “the message sent is not the message received” and how concise messaging can transform a business and a life. Aurora shares how seven words (“five weeks of sun, fun, and tax shelter”) generated $3 million in one week in her yacht charter business, and how a practiced 20-minute pitch at the Banff Media Festival sparked a bidding war and launched her screen career, while teaching her to prepare what to ask for when success arrives. Aurora dives a little deeper, as our guest explains her 64/4 rule focused on high-leverage communication, her work at Same Page Publishing to “launch thought leaders” by building audiences before book publication, the “movie trailer” and “Netflix series” mindsets, her four human superpowers (stories, style, presence, coaching).Stay until the end for a great free incentive-a free 20-question quiz at thoughtleaderlaunch.com.00:00 AI Scale or Destroy00:14 Brand Showrunner Strategy00:54 Podcast Intro and Guest04:13 Fractional Showrunner Explained04:38 Communication Origin Story06:11 Seven Words Breakthrough08:39 Overexplaining and Clarity12:57 Pitch That Changed Everything17:19 Practicing the 20 Minute Pitch22:11 64 4 Communication Rule23:57 Ask for the Next Step25:44 Leaving Money Behind26:55 Guts to Build29:19 From Grief to Book30:50 Grief Coach Academy33:02 Secret Sauce Advantage36:49 We Launch Thought Leaders39:41 Brand Bible Process42:20 Trailer vs Series45:05 Quiz and Book Bonuses48:17 Four Human Superpowers50:31 Closing Thanks

This weekend we dove into two of the most memorized, most known, most powerful verses in all the Bible… Romans 12:1-2 tells us to "not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.”Let's be honest… The pattern of this world is pretty chaotic. It's not very hard to find bad news. Because of that it becomes easy as believers to live, not in response to the grace of God, but in reaction to the chaos of the world. When we constantly consume the chaos, we will conform to the chaos. It gets into our minds and soul and affects every part of our life. Yet Jesus, the Prince of Peace, walks into the middle of our chaos and offers relief. He urges us to live in reaction, not to chaos, but his mercy. These verses help us to better understand how what we consume shapes who we become, why chaos is constantly fighting for our attention, what it means to become a “living sacrifice.” Scripture urges us to take chaotic thoughts captive before they take us captive, and how can we allow Jesus to renew our minds and form us into people of peace. Tune into this week's message as we unpack this in a message called, “No Longer Conforming to Chaos.”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 5pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

A Dialogue with Justin Jackson and Alban BrookeJust in Jackson from Transistor.fm is so enthusiastic about Apple's new way to add video to their platform (called HLS). I have felt "Meh" about it since it was announced (I'm worried about using API's instead of using the RSS feed). So I wanted to see if I was missing something that might lead me to feel more like Justin.Later that same week Alban Brook from Buzzsprout reached out and so I combined the interviews to show multiple points of view about Apple's HLS implementation not that more hosts are being approved to connect to Apple via their API.Justin's View is Based On Younger PeopleWhile I have no children Justin has a few and he explained how watching them he sees them move from watching video to switching to audio. So the HLS video in Apple supports this (and it's already available on YouTube music, and Spotify. This explains why Justin would have a viewpoint different than mine.Dialogues are amazing, and you just might learn something. Try one today. They are free!Alban's View on The "Give People What They Want" focus of Apple PodcastsWhen you go to YouTube, they drown you in options as they try to get you to click on anything. With Apple's new video options, when you log into Apple, you primarily see the shows that you've told Apple you want to see. Consequently, it may be a better experience. Kevin Finn on the Buzzcast show compared YouTube and the horrible experience to going to the movies, where everything is overpriced and the floor is sticky. The experience isn't as good.Don't Take on Too MuchIf you're a video creator already, adding your show to YouTube seems like a no brainer, and Alaban and Just both mentioned that when people signed up to be beta testers, many of the people chomping at the bit were already video creators.Justin mentions that much like coloring, you start with three colors and learn how to keep people engaged. Then start adding more colors. With podcasting it may make more sense to start with audio, and then add video.We are in a Wait and See PeriodWe don't actually know if this is going to take off. While we don't expect Apple to topple YouTube, we are interested to see just how many people jump on board.
