John Kralik was in a bad place. The LA attorney was generally miserable…divorced again, broke, and living in a dingy apartment with no air conditioning. He was also struggling to pay his employees because clients wouldn't pay him. Not exactly glamorous, but then John did an amazing thing. He decided he would concentrate on things to be grateful for, and follow that up with writing a thank you note every day for an entire year.Over time, and not too slowly actually, John's life began to improve. Life looked good again. One of the greatest outcomes has been the influence he's had on others. His book, “A Simple Act of Gratitude: How Learning To Say Thank You Changed My Life” sold like crazy. He said that the year-long thank you notes helped him prioritize good things, and helped him focus on that.John also has noticed a really interesting thing. A person's natural tendency is to focus on nine things that go wrong. Yet what would happen if we focused instead on even a single good thing? He understands that we all can help each other. Rising tide lifts all boats, as they say. Just as we can help others form the discipline of gratitude, they can be our accountability in a very real way.Every day we can text, email, call, or otherwise communicate to friends and family things that we're grateful for. In turn, we can receive their good reports. Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in one body and be thankful.”Whether it's a community of believers or simply the wider culture, we can help each other every single day by passing along what we're grateful for. There's power in telling another what they mean to you, or passing along thanks for something as simple as a shared meal. Such a choice doesn't cost anything, but it piles up spiritual treasure for us. Pretty soon you'll be grateful just for being grateful.Let's pray. Father God, your blessings to us are endless. From the perfect distance from the sun for proper warmth and light to the love that you placed in our hearts for family and friends, you're a good God, and you're deserving of our praise. We look forward to a glorious future with you. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Pascal Papathemelis: From Waterfall to Agile—A Multi-Level Change Strategy Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal describes a successful agile transformation where he collaborated with a fellow coach in the IT department of a large organization with a waterfall history and heavy documentation-driven processes. The two coaches worked together effectively, sharing information and scouting for opportunities to take action. They began with an assessment and discussions across IT, business, and management levels to understand the current state. Using the Cynefin framework to understand complexity, they conducted a two-day workshop to introduce Agile vocabulary, covering concepts like Push/Pull and process waste.  The coaches operated at multiple levels simultaneously - working strategically with leadership who typically pushed excessive work to the organization, while also helping teams visualize their processes and clarify priorities. At the team level, they acted as Scrum Masters to demonstrate the role while mentoring the actual Scrum Master through one-on-one sessions. They also supported the Product Owner in understanding their role and used story maps to help visualize and organize work effectively. Self-reflection Question: How might collaborating with another coach or change agent amplify your effectiveness in leading organizational transformation?

Have you ever had a problem getting along with someone you work with? Most of us have, and it surely can cause a lot of grief, can't it? I can tell you Christians certainly are not immune to these interpersonal conflicts. We need some biblical principles to guide us. Let's consider the problems that arise when we deal with a negative coworker. Dealing with a negative coworker Our worlds are full of negative thinking and talking people. It seems they have nothing good or encouraging to say about anything or anyone. If you've ever had to work closely with a very negative individual (and who hasn't!), you know just how tough it is to be around that person. This is one of those times when you need lots of compassion, because compassion lengthens your tolerance and helps you think about where the other person is coming from and what's causing them to be so negative. I think without Christ, I'd be negative in this world most of the time. There are a couple of proverbs which apply here. A cheerful look brings joy to the heart (Proverbs 15:30). One way to fight the irritation is to keep your own spirits up, and a smile on your face will help do that. Have you learned the secret of smiling? I know when I'm feeling down, frustrated, or irritated, if I can make myself smile, it starts to change the way I feel. I think God gave us the ability to smile to keep us going in the middle of tough situations. I encourage you to try smiling a lot more. An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up (Proverbs 12:25). Some kind words spoken to that negative person might be the key to getting him or her to open up and share their real feelings with you, and in so doing, you may discover their negative attitude is a cover-up for fear or anxiety. If they can share that with you, it gives you an opportunity to be of help to them. It doesn't always work that way, but it's worth a try. Give them some kind words, in spite of their negativism. One warning here. Be careful you don't allow them to bring you down to their negative levels. Fight back by humming choruses to yourself. Quote Scripture to yourself. Change the conversation to something positive. Often, we allow negative people to set the tone and drag everybody else down with them. Guard your own mind against the onslaught of negativism.

With the tech boom has come concerns that we are constantly under surveillance, or being watched. And maybe that's not all a conspiracy theory. But no one in the world knows everything about us. There is still some privacy, some places we can go away from prying eyes.Except…Psalm 69:5 says, “O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.”We know that we serve the One True God, the One that made everything we see. Part of His infinite knowledge is every single thing about each person. That's a mind-bender and can actually seem a little scary, but ultimately it's for our own good. If we mess up, He is there to restore us and heal our shame.While others gather data on us that could be embarrassing, God wants only what's best for us. He holds us up to the light of His righteousness, and that reality should be all the motivation we need to live holy lives.Let's pray.Lord, we can feel very, very foolish in your eyes. But we thank you for the accountability you give us, for our own good. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

The real conspiracy is that modern conspiracy theory is nothing more than the infiltration of the mind, a gaslighting operation, a dis and mis information campaign. After massive flooding in Texas, strange storms over Lake Tahoe, floods in Pakistan, and even in Dubai a year previous, the discussions of weather always become divided between two groups: weather does not exist because of government control programs or all weather is climate change. People try to convince you that geoengineering is the same as altering your home's temperature with an AC, but only after denying its existence. Deny until acknowledgment, then take control of the narrative when the truth comes out. Many have claimed Peter Thiel owns a company called Rainmaker, which was cloud seeding in parts of Texas that recently flooded. But that is not true; Thiel's fellowship only gave that company's CEO Augustus Doricko $100,000, something he has done for other companies. Countless articles and social media accounts share the former without noting the latter. Doricko has also been highly vocal about cloud seeding, but only to deny his company could produce such large quantities of rain while the UAE is leading the world in such things.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

seven commitments outlined in his book, Staring Down The Wolf—--alignment. Throughout the episode, Mark peels back the layers of what alignment really means on the battlefield, in life, and in business.    Mark demonstrates how elite teams thrive when they are radically transparent, relentlessly communicative, and connected to a shared vision. He highlights real-life stories from SEAL team leaders and methods such as daily huddles that break down silos and speed up innovation and execution.    Along the way, Mark makes clear that alignment is about far more than just meetings or sharing information. It's about cultivating an environment where vulnerability is encouraged—-where every team member has the courage to communicate openly, rally around the mission, and keep themselves radically aligned for success.     Key Takeaways:  Relentless, Transparent Communication: Alignment can't come without honest and open communication. Open information sharing and the sharing of visions, challenges, and where support is needed accelerate team trust and execution.    Focus Amidst Information Overload: Recognize that while staying informed is crucial, true alignment comes from narrowing one's focus. It's important to ask: does this align with the team's vision?    Maximize Sharing: Expertise, resources, and information should all be shared openly within one's team. Hoarding knowledge can only hurt alignment and trust.   The Importance of Self-Reflection: Discover how regularly reflecting on one's alignment, focus, and potential distractions help teams and leaders stay true to their goals.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness. Mark's journey began in New York City, where his fascination with eastern philosophy and martial arts set the stage for a transformative path. After a successful stint as a consultant at PriceWaterhouse Coopers, he made the pivotal decision to join the Navy SEALs at 25. Over two decades of service, Mark commanded critical missions globally, retiring as a Commander in 2011. Mark has trained elite organizations including Google, Nike, SpaceX, Boeing, Harvard University, The Olympics, YPO, and many others.Co-founding ventures such as SEALFIT, Unbeatable Mind, LLC, and Coronado Brewing Company have allowed Mark to blend his military expertise with entrepreneurial spirit. SEALFIT, born from his SEAL training insights, revolutionized physical and mental conditioning, impacting diverse groups from executives to athletes.Inspired by his military service, Mark founded the Courage Foundation to support veterans in holistic healing and restoration of purpose.

In C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan tells Lucy, “Things never happen the same way twice.” It's a good reminder that life brings changes. They're unavoidable, but how we choose to meet them is up to us. Sharon Epps joins us today with sage advice about preparing for life's transitions.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.Lessons from NarniaC.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia holds a surprising amount of wisdom for real life. In one poignant scene, Aslan comforts Lucy Pevensie about the changes she and her siblings are facing. “Things never happen the same way twice,” Aslan tells her. Change is constant, and each new season requires fresh wisdom. Even when we're no longer in school, the rhythms of August to May still shape our lives and planning.When Life Goes Into Transition, Money Goes Into MotionFinancial author Mitch Anthony says it best: “Money goes into motion when life goes into transition.” Whether you're sending a child off to college, caring for aging parents, or planning a move, each change brings financial decisions with it. Here are five strategies to help us steward these moments well:1. Pray for WisdomEvery new season needs fresh wisdom. You can learn the hard way through pain or the better way through prayer. Proverbs 3:6 reminds us: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”2. Seek Godly CounselLearn from those who've been there. If you're sending your first child to college, ask parents of graduates what they'd do differently. Their experience can save you time, money, and stress.3. Plan the Financial Details of the TransitionWith college, for example, have you clarified who will cover living expenses? Will your child work part-time? Will you offer a monthly stipend? Define expectations now to avoid confusion later.4. Prepare for the UnexpectedThings rarely go according to plan. What if your child runs out of money mid-semester? Do you have an emergency fund? Thinking through these “what ifs” now builds resilience.5. Communicate Ahead of TimeGood communication brings clarity and accountability. Whether you're dealing with a child, a spouse, or a realtor, the earlier you clarify financial expectations, the smoother the transition will be.These five practices are simple but powerful. They'll help you stay grounded through every kind of life change. And remember, God doesn't just care about what we go through—He cares about how we go through it. Let's walk into our next season with prayerful wisdom, godly counsel, and faithful stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm new to investing and want to understand the basics of the stock market, as well as how to avoid scams.I'm considering buying precious metals to pass on to my children and grandchildren. What's the best way for them to sell or redeem them in the future?If I give to animal charities, does that count as tithing?

Ever feel like creativity is reserved for “real” artists? Rick Rubin's 12 rules say otherwise. They're for anyone who wants to live and create with more honesty. Rubin, the legendary producer who can't play an instrument, built his career by helping others strip away what's fake and tune into what's real. His rules aren't about being clever; they're about noticing, subtracting, and getting comfortable with discomfort. I'll share how Rubin's approach helped me stop overthinking and start making things that actually felt like me. Think of creativity as tuning a radio: your job isn't to invent the music, it's to find the right frequency. Notice inspiration everywhere—train yourself to be amazed by the ordinary. Make a mess first, judge later—let ideas breathe before you kill them. Change your environment to change your mind—move your desk, move your thoughts. Tune in to discover how to make your work (and life) feel more like you. ---- Advertisers BetterHelp The world's largest online therapy provider ⁠⁠BetterHelp.com/GrowthMindset⁠⁠ - 10% off 1st month Liquid I.V.

In this week's episode, Jaclyn and Sam explore key insights from Craig Groeschel's transformative book, The Power to Change. They break down essential strategies for making lasting changes in habits and behavior, emphasizing why so many of us struggle to sustain the improvements we desire. With impactful quotes like, “You do what you do because of what you think of you,” and “Your calling is more about who you are becoming than what you're doing,” they encourage listeners to shift their focus inward with an emphasis on building a relationship with God - recognizing that true transformation begins here. Through this meaningful discussion, they highlight the concept that finding your passion is less about discovering an activity, and more about understanding and nurturing who you are becoming through that journey.Book:The Power to Change by Craig GroeschelSupport the showDOWNLOAD THE FREQ APP:www.thefreqapp.com VISIT THE SHOP:www.thebeckonsouk.com CONNECT ON SOCIAL:Instagram: @beckonliving, @jaclynsteele, @samthurmond_reiTikTok: @beckonliving JOIN THE HIGH FREQUENCY SOCIETY:Text us at 480-531-6858 and type the word FREQUENCY to receive periodic uplifting, high frequency text messages from Sam and Jaclyn.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I talk about something that can feel overwhelming for a lot of us: taxes and bookkeeping, especially if you're a self-employed person. I share why having a positive mindset around money stuff really matters and how it can actually make tax season a lot less stressful. I also introduce my new workbook, which is designed to help you move past some of those mindset blocks that can make dealing with taxes feel so heavy. Throughout our chat, I offer practical tips, like why it's so important to have a separate bank account for your business, and how setting up just a few basic expense categories can make a big difference in staying organized. Join me in this episode and feel empowered to take small, proactive steps with your finances so you can ditch the stress and focus on the creative work you love. Also mentioned in today's episode:  03:22  The Importance of Bookkeeping 07:13  Setting Up for Success: Business Bank Accounts 09:57  Mid-Year Check-In and Action Steps   Takeaways The mindset around taxes can significantly impact financial management. Bookkeeping should be done consistently throughout the year. Procrastination in bookkeeping leads to increased stress at tax time. Having a separate business bank account simplifies financial tracking. Every transaction needs to be categorized for accurate tax reporting. Doing any bookkeeping now reduces work at tax time. Mid-year is a great time to assess your financial organization. Setting up expense categories can be done easily with a spreadsheet. A visual guide to tax deductions can help streamline the process. Taking small steps now can lead to greater financial peace later.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!  Every review makes a difference by telling Apple or Spotify to show the Sunlight Tax podcast to new audiences.   Links: Link to pre-order my book, Taxes for Humans: Simplify Your Taxes and Change the World When You're Self-Employed.

It's almost universally believed that tech guru Steve Jobs floated into mega success with Apple, the company he co-founded with Steve Wozniak.Job's first go-around at Apple didn't end well in 1985, when he was forced out. His next effort wasn't a home run either, yet Jobs put his head down like a fullback and plowed ahead. Next up for him was founding Pixar and finally, more than a decade after his humiliating exit from Apple, Jobs returned there as CEO and revolutionized the way people interacted with computers.Writing about him after his death, Jason Demur said that, “Steve Jobs is lasting evidence that you should never count somebody out—even yourself.” In other words, even if someone pushes you back, you have to keep moving forward. Believe it or not a fellow tech icon, Bill Gates, also had to learn the hard way. His first venture with business partner Paul Allen was a complete failure, but Gates said many times in the years since that learning from failures leads to success, and Microsoft is proof of that.Christian Ministry leader Jo Walls has some interesting things to say to Christians who have perhaps grown too comfortable in their faith, and she addresses herself first. She says, “God's been talking to me lately about being too comfortable. He's challenging me in some ways that I'm not real thrilled about. He's pushing me to grow,” and in fact, He's telling her to ‘cheer up buttercup—life can be a grind,' and that's when we need to push through.Even though it can sometimes sting when someone tells us to chin up, it's ultimately for our good. And let's face it—most of us know it feels good to overcome something really difficult.Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” When your life is spent following Jesus, fear disappears in the light of God's reassuring love. He has a plan for you, and you don't have to walk in the shadows when God's got your back. Every moment of every day is brighter knowing our Heavenly Father watches over us.The unknown doesn't have to be cause for worry. It's an opportunity for God to work on your behalf. Hand the details over to Him and wait patiently and faithfully for His good plan to come to fruition. The joy of knowing we can always depend on God is a message worth sharing.Let's pray.Lord, we need your strength every single day. We know that some things just don't come easy. Thank you for bringing us along the way you do. We pray and believe. It feels good to emerge from difficulty and realize that the strength you gave us pulled us out of despair. In Jesus' name, amen.  Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we meet Kristy and Annette—two inspiring women who completely transformed their lives after retirement. In 2015, they sold everything they owned, bought an RV, and set out to live life on their own terms. What began as a “retirement gift” hike on the Colorado Trail quickly evolved into a bold new chapter of full-time adventure. Since then, Kristy and Annette have completed the Triple Crown of Hiking—the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail—and spend each year splitting their time between life on the road and life on foot. Together, they share their journey of choosing freedom, rejecting fear, and expanding the limits of what life after 50 can look like. This episode is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to chase your dreams, explore the unknown, and live life unapologetically.

Send us a textMany people find that as they move through life that they have to shift gears…a new job, a new career, family, divorce, move. Many people are looking for that “new path” when they study NLP. As we prepare for these shifts, a great way to start is to develop a set of presuppositions and guiding questions to steer the change. This will ensure that the change will stay in place. This is the step before any planning or goal setting, or even belief changes.This episode is a 5-step process to help you develop these presuppositions and guiding questions. Support the show

One of the great lessons we learn from the Book of Job and the life of Peter is, the devil cannot do anything he wants in your life, ANYTIME he wants to. This is because there's a hedge and a bloodline around you he can't trespass. That's why he seeks to deceive you first. In this week's message on ‘Chains or Change', we explore the spiritual impact and importance of agreement.

Send us a textWe often think standing unashamed for our faith means making bold, public declarations—but what if it starts in private, consistent, quiet obedience? In this episode of More Than a Song, we take inspiration from Matthew West's song “Unashamed” to explore the gospel in Romans 1 and examples from the book of Daniel. Discover how a heart resolved in private can stand firm in public…even in the fire or before the lions.Key PointsWhen Paul says he is “unashamed of the gospel,” he follows it up with why — because it is the power of God for salvation.Paul's identity as a servant (Greek: doulos) shapes his purpose and obedience. He belongs to Christ and is sent out by Him.Daniel and his friends didn't stand in anger, but in resolved obedience—a posture developed over time through daily faithfulness.Being unashamed isn't just about standing in public moments—it's about living faithfully in private ones.The gospel is not a New Testament invention. Paul shows it was promised beforehand, centered on Christ, and rooted in Scripture.Scripture ReferencesRomans 1:1–6 – Paul introduces himself as a servant, apostle, and one set apart for the gospel.Romans 1:15–16 – Paul declares he is not ashamed of the gospel.Daniel 1–6 – Daniel and his friends live faithfully, respectfully, and courageously in a pagan culture.Acts 26:15–18 – Paul recounts his calling and commissioning by Jesus.Hebrews 3:1, John 20:21, Acts 1:21–22, Mark 3:14 – Context for the role of apostle.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) UsedRead in context – Don't pull verses in isolation; read the surrounding chapters.Make a list – Especially helpful in unpacking Romans 1.Do a word study – Greek terms like doulos (servant), apostolos (apostle), and euangelion (gospel).Use multiple translations – Compare how key terms are rendered across versions.Slow down – Meditate on phrases and ask, “What does this really mean?”Additional ResourcesLyrics - New Release TodayFree Episode Guide – Download it to interact more deeply with this week's Scriptures and BITEs.BibleHub.com (for free word studies and translation comparison)Learn more about my favorite Bible Study Software with a 30-day free trial and links to my favorite Bible resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate Link resources - Logos Bible Software Affiliate LinkThis Week's ChallengeSpend some time working your way slowly through Romans chapter 1.

Slip over to Daniel and read the first six chapters. Get caught up in the story. Remember that the men described in these pages were real. They determined in their heart to obey God and follow His ways amid a dark and pagan culture. They stood their ground, and God blessed them in the midst of it.
