Most Christians know that they believe — but far fewer can clearly articulate why. Matt Ward, founder and CEO of BeliefTrack, built a free web-based platform to change that — and what started as a personal faith inventory has grown into a powerful discipleship and leadership vetting tool for churches. In this episode of Ministry at Scale, Chad Williams sits down with Matt to explore how a simple question — "What do I actually believe?" — became a tool that has tracked over 115,000 individual Christian beliefs.Key TakeawaysA personal faith journey sparked a ministry-sized tool. Nearly 10 years ago, Matt began wrestling with his own beliefs as a young adult — not what he was taught, but what he could confidently own. That process of honest self-reflection became the foundation for BeliefTrack's nearly 300 theological questions, spanning beginner to advanced doctrine.The confidence rating is one of BeliefTrack's most disarming features. Rather than simply asking "do you believe this?", users rate their confidence on a scale from 1 to 10. It's a simple mechanism that creates honest self-awareness — and opens the door to deeper study, better conversations, and more confident outreach.BeliefTrack has nearly 800 registered users and has tracked approximately 115,000–116,000 individual Christian beliefs — a number Matt says far exceeded his expectations, driven by people's genuine hunger to go deeper with their theology.Churches are using BeliefTrack as a leadership vetting and discipleship tool. The recommended church rollout starts with the pastor crafting their core beliefs, then having leadership go through the same process — creating a transparent, side-by-side comparison that surfaces theological alignment and gaps before someone steps into a teaching role.The platform reveals a surprising reality: congregations aren't as theologically aligned as pastors assume. Matt's experience with users from across denominations shows that even within a single church, meaningful doctrinal diversity exists — particularly on topics like eschatology and inerrancy. BeliefTrack helps pastors see those gaps clearly and respond with targeted discipleship rather than assumptions.AI played a supporting role in refining the platform's questions. As a software engineer, Matt used AI tools to help audit his question bank for unintentional bias — ensuring that users are genuinely guided toward reflection rather than nudged toward a predetermined answer.BeliefTrack is free — and Matt wants to keep it that way for small churches. Church accounts are available now, and the long-term vision is for small churches to always have free access to the platform as a discipleship resource.Does Your Church Know What It Believes?If you've ever wished you had a window into what your congregation actually believes — or if you're a ministry leader wanting to equip your people with tools for deeper theological engagement — this episode is for you. BeliefTrack is the kind of simple, mission-aligned tool that could transform the way your church approaches discipleship.

In a world flooded with competing narratives, truth can feel buried beneath emotion, media influence, and cultural pressure. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar sit down with Eliana Solomonn, who goes by Ellie, along with Shaya Leban and Chad Williams, to unpack the battle for truth surrounding Israel and the rise of modern propaganda. The guys explore how misinformation spreads rapidly, especially among younger generations, shaping opinions before facts are examined. Ellie shares firsthand experience of growing up in a Jewish community, moving to Israel, and witnessing the realities of conflict that many only see through filtered headlines. Her story highlights how easily truth can be distorted when narratives are driven by emotion rather than reality.The conversation dives into the growing influence of propaganda and how it is shaping public perception on a global scale. The guys discuss how outrage and emotional manipulation are often used to sway opinions, especially through media and social platforms. Ellie and Shaya explain how even firsthand experiences can be misrepresented, recalling moments where real events were reported in ways that barely resembled the truth. This disconnect reveals how powerful and subtle misinformation can be. The guys emphasize that discernment is critical, especially in a time when many are told what to think rather than how to think.Ellie shares the personal impact of the October 7 attacks and the emotional toll of witnessing her country in crisis. She describes the fear, confusion, and heartbreak as sirens sounded and daily life turned into chaos. In the aftermath, she attended funerals, comforted grieving families, and saw the weight of loss across her community. The pain was compounded when she saw people abroad protesting Israel, revealing a stark contrast between lived experience and public perception. Her story underscores the importance of hearing real voices rather than relying solely on the media.Finally, the guys bring the conversation back to the deeper spiritual reality behind the conflict. They discuss the role of evil, the influence of Satan as the source of deception, and the need to combat lies with truth. The gospel becomes the ultimate lens through which to understand both the world's brokenness and the hope of redemption. The guys emphasize that truth is not relative but grounded in God, and that believers are called to seek it, share it, and stand firm in it. In the end, the conversation points to the power of truth to cut through deception and the hope found in Christ alone.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!

Can health and fitness improve your life without becoming your entire identity?In this episode of the Almost Daily Podcast, I explore the idea that while health and fitness are incredibly important, they are only one part of building a fulfilling life.Inspired by my friend Chad Williams and the work he's doing to create more inclusive communities through fitness, I discuss why some of the most meaningful things we can do involve supporting others, creating connections, and using our experiences to contribute to something larger than ourselves.We talk about the role fitness plays in personal growth, why recovery and longevity matter, and how health and fitness can serve as a catalyst for building relationships, discovering new interests, and creating positive change in the lives of others.I also share my thoughts on why it's important to avoid making fitness your entire identity and how focusing on community, encouragement, and connection can lead to a richer and more meaningful life.Topics Covered:• Making fitness bigger than yourself• Building community through health and fitness• Why connection matters• Supporting and encouraging others• The importance of recovery and longevity• Finding common ground with people• Health and fitness as a catalyst for growth• Avoiding an all-consuming fitness identity• Creating a fulfilling life beyond exercise• The future direction of Your Level FitnessEmail Daryl:daryl@yourlevelfitness.comHealth and fitness can help you build a better life, but the goal isn't simply to become healthier. The goal is to create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and worth living while bringing others along with you.

As we start a new week, I've been reflecting on how much my approach to health, fitness, and life has changed over the years.For a long time, I tried to force my way through everything. Whether it was training, work, or simply navigating life with cerebral palsy, I believed that pushing harder was always the answer. What I've learned recently is that recovery, rest, sleep, and hydration may be just as important as the effort itself.In this episode of the Almost Daily Podcast, I talk about the importance of recovery, why I'm finally prioritizing rest without guilt, and how that shift is helping me move through life from a calmer headspace and at a more deliberate pace.I also share why I'm excited about the future of Your Level Fitness, the importance of building inclusive communities, and why supporting and encouraging one another is one of the most powerful things we can do.We also discuss Chad Williams' Doing Hard Things My Way Virtual 5K, why I created the YLF Community Team, and how events like this can help bring people together while promoting inclusion and awareness around cerebral palsy.Topics Covered:• Recovery and rest• The importance of sleep and hydration• Living with cerebral palsy• Moving at a deliberate pace• Building an inclusive fitness community• The future of Your Level Fitness• Why connection matters• Supporting and encouraging others• The Doing Hard Things My Way Virtual 5K• Building something bigger than yourselfLinks Mentioned:Join the YLF Community Race Team:https://runsignup.com/Race/Register/RaceGroup-1?raceId=187209Journal Prompts:https://yourlevelfitness.com/emailEmail Daryl:daryl@yourlevelfitness.comThank you for listening to the Almost Daily Podcast.

She also shares her passion for disability advocacy, creating awareness, and helping others better understand what it means to live with a disability.Throughout the conversation, Gillian opens up about overcoming self-doubt, finding confidence in her own voice, and why she refuses to let a diagnosis define who she is or what she can accomplish.Topics Covered:• Growing up with cerebral palsy and epilepsy• Being born premature and overcoming long odds• Physical therapy and adapting to daily challenges• Disability advocacy and awareness• Writing as a form of self-expression• Living with seizures and mobility limitations• Social media and finding community• Public speaking and storytelling• The importance of self-acceptance• Why disability does not define a personGuest Links:Gillian Jasper Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gillianjasper_Cerebral Palsy Through My Lens:https://www.jewishnewhaven.org/press-releases/cerebral-palsy-through-my-lens-the-hand-i-have-been-dealtHost Links:Chad Williams:https://www.instagram.com/chadwillia1Daryl Perry:https://www.instagram.com/daryltperryThank you for listening to The Cerebral Palsy Perspective Podcast.

This is a session from the Practical(ly) Pastoring Conference. Chad Williams, lead teaching pastor at Building 28 in Clearwater and former church planter and Chick-fil-A leader, argues that many churches accidentally build discipleship like a corporate ladder. The result is efficiency without formation, status without maturity, and a system where people feel stuck. Using the 1911 South Pole race as a vivid illustration, Chad reframes disciple making as lanes, not levels: same destination, different pace, different proximity, different responsibilities. He grounds the model in Jesus' own practice with the 72, the 12, and the 3, then offers a practical framework for churches to clarify the destination, define disciple focuses, identify lanes, and implement resources at different speeds.Key takeawaysA shared destination does not require identical movementLevels organize people, lanes develop peopleLevels unintentionally create status and shame, Jesus' leadership is about carrying, not climbingJesus discipled in concentric circles, 72, 12, 3, same mission, different proximity and paceThe goal of discipleship is not a position, it's a person, ChristlikenessBuild a clear destination language, then choose a few disciple focuses for everyoneLanes let people change pace without feeling demoted, seasons change, lanes can tooPotential is found in the gap between vision and execution, most churches do not have a vision problem, they have an execution problem

Interview with Keith Boyle, Director & CEO of New Found GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/new-found-gold-tsxvnfg-high-grade-strategy-meets-near-term-cash-flow-8695Recording date: 9th January 2026New Found Gold is executing a comprehensive transformation from pure exploration company to emerging gold producer, driven by a complete leadership overhaul and strategic acquisitions designed to accelerate the path to cash flow.The most significant change began with a complete board renewal in December 2024, followed by the appointment of CEO Keith Boyle in January 2025. "They brought me in January of 25, the mandate being let's get the gold, let's get to production," Boyle explained. "We were an exploration company and had been doing that for five years since discovering the Queensway deposit and so it was time to make that shift."The new leadership team brings proven operational credentials. Chief Operating Officer Robert Assabgui previously served as VP of Hudbay's Manitoba division, where he brought the Lalor mine into production. CFO Hashim Ahmed brings project financing expertise from Mandalay Resources and Jaguar Mining. The board now includes former Newfoundland Premier Andrew Furey and experienced mining executives Tamara Brown, Chad Williams, and Allan Palmir.A pivotal strategic move was acquiring Maritime Resources' Hammerdown mine and milling facilities. Hammerdown is targeting steady-state production by mid-2026, providing near-term cash flow that will reduce external financing requirements for the flagship Queensway project. "At these gold prices, it really is going to help us in being able to manage the amount of money that we have to raise externally," Boyle noted.For Queensway, the company released a mineral resource estimate and preliminary economic assessment in July 2025, which helped secure $87 million in financing. Final Investment Decision is targeted for H2 2026, with environmental assessment submission planned for Q1 2026. The company expects favorable permitting timelines in mining-friendly Newfoundland, potentially enabling construction commencement in late 2026.Despite the production focus, New Found Gold maintains aggressive exploration commitments. "We still want to keep the drill bit turning to find that game-changing, that Swan Zone, that next big one, because it will create that additional value for us," Boyle emphasized, highlighting the camp-scale potential of the land package.View New Found Gold's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/new-found-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

In this episode of The Your Level Fitness Podcast I am catching up with my friend Chad Williams from Doing Hard Things My Way. We start with some football talk and Bengal and Dolphin emotions, then move right into what it looks like for Chad to keep running through a cold northeast winter while managing cerebral palsy, back pain, tight muscles, and the mental side of wondering if each new injury is the big one. Chad shares how he is trying to find a better balance between running, the gym, recovery, and assisted stretching so he can keep moving without ending up back in the dark place he was a few years ago.We talk about what it really means to have a home base gym when you have CP or any visible difference, why environment and support matter, and how easy it is to slip from a little back pain into full shutdown when you stop reaching out. Chad walks through the story behind Doing Hard Things My Way, how a Spartan race invitation showed up right when he needed it, and how that personal motto has grown into races, community, and real impact for other people with CP.We also dig into Chad's plans for future races, including pushing an athlete in a wheelchair, his involvement in adaptive running events, the launch of the Doing Hard Things My Way adaptive athlete scholarship, and his ongoing work on a memoir that aims to give younger athletes with cerebral palsy a powerful sense of possibility.If you are someone navigating chronic limitations, long term injuries, or the mental weight of staying active into your thirties and forties, this is a real and honest conversation about balance, fear, support systems, and refusing to let circumstances decide your story.Links for Chad:Follow Chad on Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/chadwillia1/Learn more about Doing Hard Things My Way.https://doinghardthingsmyway.com/Support the Doing Hard Things My Way Adaptive Athlete Scholarship Fund.https://bold.org/funds/doing-hard-things-my-way-adaptive-athlete-scholarship-fund/Komuso affiliate link shared by Chad.https://affiliate.komusodesign.com/CW1Links for Daryl:Visit Your Level Fitness.https://yourlevelfitness.comListen to The Your Level Fitness Podcast and other shows.https://yourlevelfitness.com/podcastFor questions comments or collaboration ideas email.daryl@yourlevelfitness.com

Chad Williams joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss how to protect children in an increasingly wicked world. The conversation begins with Chad's powerful testimony. Though Chad completed Navy SEAL training, he was struck with a deep emptiness. Becoming a SEAL had been his life's goal, but achieving it left him hollow. He realized no earthly accomplishment could satisfy the soul. It was through confrontation with Scripture that he began to understand the depth of human pride and sin. Only Christ can take away sin and cover His people with grace and mercy.Chad shares how, from the moment of his salvation, he was a changed man. He immediately began proclaiming the gospel and eventually crossed paths with Ray, who encouraged him to try open air preaching. That initial step was difficult, but it launched Chad into a bold and public faith. The guys talk about a clip of Chad engaging a skeptic with clarity and conviction. Mark recalls a humorous but intense moment when someone tried to steal Chad's ID during a preaching event—only for Chad to chase the man down and recover it. Chad's faith would soon lead him into another kind of battlefield: local politics.Now a city councilman in Huntington Beach, Chad stepped into office after seeing how far the culture had shifted. Once elected, Chad focused on defending the defenseless, particularly children. He and the council took action after discovering sexually explicit books in the children's section of the library. In response, they made plans to form a review board made up of community members to flag and relocate inappropriate materials; however, this initiative sparked backlash, with critics labeling it censorship and a book ban. One deeply disturbing organization sued the council over the committee's formation.This legal battle has reached a critical point. On June 10, there will be a vote on whether to preserve or dissolve the committee. The opposition is determined to shut down any effort that brings community accountability to public content. The guys along with Chad emphasize that this is not just a local issue—it is a spiritual battle with eternal stakes. If parents are not discipling their children, the world will. He reminds believers that discipleship is lived out daily. If sin isn't named, it will be renamed and rebranded as progress. He urges listeners to pray, support, vote, give, and reach out to those in Huntington Beach. The time to act is now. Children are watching, and their future depends on how boldly this generation stands.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Dave Raley of Imago Consulting works with nonprofit and business leaders to help them growrevenue profitably. His mission is to help nonprofits and businesses identify and understandopportunities, develop new strategies, and launch new products and initiatives.In this episode of The Ministry of Scale podcast, Chad Williams interviews Dave whoseupcoming book, The Rise of Sustainable Giving, explores how the subscription economy modelis transforming nonprofit fundraising. Raley draws parallels between the widespread adoption of subscription services (like Netflix or Spotify) and the increasing comfort with recurringdonations. He explains how organizations can tap into this trend by creating a strong recurringgiving program.Dave outlines foundational steps for nonprofits to build these programs effectively. First,nonprofits need internal focus on recurring giving—assigning someone responsible for itsgrowth. He stresses that nonprofit tech stacks, especially CRM and donation platforms, shouldsupport scalable and ongoing donor engagement. He also highlights that recurring donations,unlike one-time gifts, benefit from a well-communicated value proposition, showing donors thelong-term impact of their support. By building strong, personalized donor relationships,nonprofits can see exponential growth in recurring giving.Resources:sustainablegiving.orgDave on LinkedIn

When Philly's Friday Saturday Sunday won the James Beard Foundation Award as Outstanding Restaurant in 2023, it was the culmination of chef Chad Williams' slow, patient development, of both his talent and craft, and of the restaurant he co-owns and co-operates with his wife Hanna Williams. In this conversation, recorded at The Chef Conference in Philly last month, Chad takes us through his career, which he approached in a decidedly old-school way, working in kitchens around the city, country, and world for well over a decade, before feeling ready to declare himself a chef. He also describes the growing pains he and Hanna experienced at Friday Saturday Sunday, and the act of desperation that, ironically, helped the restaurant round the corner towards its current success.Please join Andrew and spirits writer Robert Simonson on June 2nd for their book party at Swoony's restaurant in Brooklyn.

It was 10 years ago when his now wife Hanna Williams introduced the thought to Chad to buy the Rittenhouse Square staple Friday Saturday Sunday.

Now they have the best restaurant in the country. Next up, not only is Jamila Robinson the first Black female judge on the World's 50 Best Restaurants panel, but she's also the chair of the James Beard Foundation's Journalism Awards program. She also knows a thing or two about Philly's culinary scene and how it can change communities.

Many of us think that we know all there is to know about W.E.B Du Bois was the early 20th century's most significant thinker, writer, and philosopher of the U.S. civil rights movement. He saw an extraordinary opportunity during World War 1 to advance the rights of black Americans. He encouraged them to “close ranks” and support the Allied cause in World War 1, enlisting to fight in the war. This decision would haunt him for the rest of his life. Seeking both intellectual clarity and personal atonement, for over two decades, Du Bois attempted to write the definitive history of black participation in World War 1. His book, however, remained unpublished. Today's guest is Chad Williams, author of “The Wounded World,” an account of Du Bois's efforts to complete what would have been one of his most significant works of history. He reveals Du Bois's struggles to reckon with both the history and troubling memory of the war, along with the broader meanings of race and democracy for black people in the 20th century. He also addresses larger questions of why lynchings against black Americans spiked following the war.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

Over 350,000 African American men joined the United States military during World War I, serving valiantly despite discrimination and slander. Historian and civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois had hoped that their patriotism would help them gain respect and equality, but after the war it was quickly evident that would not be the case. Du Bois spent the next several decades attempting to tell the full story of Black soldiers in the Great War, but despite a vast archive of materials entrusted to him and his own towering intellect, Du Bois was never able to craft a coherent narrative of their participation.  Joining me in this episode to discuss Du Bois and his relationship with World War I is Dr. Chad L. WIlliams, the Samuel J. and Augusta Spector Professor of History and African and African American Studies at Brandeis University, and the author of The Wounded World: W. E. B. Du Bois and the First World War. Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

From Dr. Williams' website: When W. E. B. Du Bois, believing in the possibility of full citizenship and democratic change, encouraged African Americans to “close ranks” and support the Allied cause in World War I, he made a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Seeking both intellectual clarity and personal atonement, for more than two decades Du Bois attempted to write the definitive history of Black participation in World War I. His book, however, remained unfinished. In The Wounded World, Chad Williams offers the dramatic account of Du Bois's failed efforts to complete what would have been one of his most significant works. The surprising story of this unpublished book offers new insight into Du Bois's struggles to reckon with both the history and the troubling memory of the war, along with the broader meanings of race and democracy for Black people in the twentieth century.   Drawing on a broad range of sources, most notably Du Bois's unpublished manuscript and research materials, Williams tells a sweeping story of hope, betrayal, disillusionment, and transformation, setting into motion a fresh understanding of the life and mind of arguably the most significant scholar-activist in African American history. In uncovering what happened to Du Bois's largely forgotten book, Williams offers a captivating reminder of the importance of World War I, why it mattered to Du Bois, and why it continues to matter today.   Where to buy:   https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-wounded-world-w-e-b-du-bois-and-the-first-world-war-chad-l-williams/18402495?ean=9780374293154 The BFWWP is on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BattlesoftheFirstWorldWarPodcast.    Any questions, comments or concerns please contact me through the website, www.firstworldwarpodcast.com.

In 1935, W. E. B. Du Bois, scholar, public intellectual, and social and political activist, published his magnum opus: Black Reconstruction in America. In it, he tackled the subject of the American Civil War and, especially, the decade or so that followed, a period known as Reconstruction. During Reconstruction it seemed, for a time, that the South and the United States as a whole, might be remade as a radically more equitable society. What was achieved during Reconstruction and why these efforts ultimately failed, is what concerns Du Bois in Black Reconstruction. He was also concerned with challenging and correcting the racist histories of Reconstruction that were prevalent in both popular and academic circles in his day. Black Reconstruction is a widely respected and celebrated book today, but many of its early readers were dismissive, perhaps none more than the academic historians who Du Bois was justifiably calling out. The American Historical Review, for its part, ignored the book entirely. No review. Well, until now. Almost a century later, the AHR just published a review of Black Reconstruction in the December 2022 issue, penned by Yale historian Elizabeth Hinton. Professor Elizabeth Hinton serves as our guide exploring W.E.B. Du Bois' Black Reconstruction. We also hear from Eric Foner, Chad Williams, Sue Mobley, and Kendra Field.
