Message SlidesStanding Out in the Crowd - SwindollThe Liberty of Salvation - Edmund ClowneyApplication: 1 Peter 4:1-6 - Scot McKnightINTRODUCTION: Patterns for Preaching in Peter and PaulFollow this ExampleBe willing to suffer rather than sin.• Example: The suffering of Christ is the supreme example (4:1a).• Commitment: Be ready and willing to suffer instead of sinning. (4:1b).• Submission: Be ready and willing to suffer to live for the will of God (4:2).Do Not Follow This ExampleLeave your past life behind.• Out of Time: Your pre-conversion life is in your past (4:3a).• Out of Control: Your pre-conversion life was out of control (4:3b).• Out of Sync: Your post-conversion is strange to others (4:4).• Out of Appeals: Everyone will eventually give an account (4:5).• Out of Excuses: Everyone will be judged fairly (4:6).Choosing to follow in the footsteps of Christ's sufferingmay alienate you from the world as you avoid sinful livingbut provides you with the satisfaction of identification with Christ.‘Make the Application“Read the Scriptures, not as one who goes to a wardrobeto take an inventory of clothes, but as one who goes thereto find something to wear.” John DonneHome Church Questions1. Read Philippians 2:1-11. This parallel passage to Peter's teaching in 1 Peter 4:1-2 expands on the truth found there. Both passages encourage us to follow the example of Christ. How does Philippians 2:1-11 give you additional hope, confidence, and courage for your own suffering?2. In the Bible Belt, how do you resist the pull of the American Dream while still accepting that suffering is often part of God's will for us? How do you pursue faithfulness to Christ when the surrounding culture constantly pressures you to seek comfort, success, and security—especially when Scripture teaches that hardship and self-denial are frequently God's will for believers?3. In the most practical way you can, articulate what it means to “arm yourself” with the same attitude Christ had when He suffered? Can you give any examples of when you have done this?4. Jesus, far beyond any of us, suffered when He did not deserve it. How does this frame our response when we recognize that our suffering is also undeserved? Are we entitled to a life of blessing?5. Have you ever experienced rejection by a past community because you chose to live according to your Christian convictions? Have you ever remained quiet about your Christian practices in order to avoid this?6. What about your current way of living as a believer and faithful follower of Christ is seen by unbelievers as, in the words of Nijay Gupta's book, “Strange Religion?”UPG FOCUS: Pray for the Tai Do in LaosThe Tai Do are a small ethnic group living primarily in central Laos, with a few communities in Vietnam. They follow traditional animistic beliefs, seeking to appease spirits for protection and blessing. Only a small number of believers are known among them, and Scripture translation has just begun. Pray that the growing number of Tai Do Christians would remain strong in faith, that the gospel would spread to every village, and that many would come to know Jesus as Lord.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 03/01 22,132Giving For 03/08 48,141 YTD Budget 1,246,154Giving 1,588,461 OVER/(UNDER) 342,307Fellowship Men's MusterMen's Muster is April 17-19, 2026.

This week on Ask Farnoosh, Farnoosh kicks things off with a behind-the-scenes look at a whirlwind week in journalism and media. She shares highlights from her recent interview with Senator Cory Booker about his bold new “Keep Your Pay Act” proposal, which would eliminate federal income tax on the first $75,000 of income, and discusses what that could mean for working Americans. She also reflects on being featured in Kiplinger's latest issue on the best financial advice experts have ever received, sharing a career lesson that shaped her own path: learning to earn money not just from what you do, but from what you know. Plus, Farnoosh announces her upcoming free webinar on March 26 about how to land a big book deal (register using the link).Then, a quick breakdown of the latest money headlines that matter for your wallet: mortgage rates climbing back above 6% and what that means for today's “frozen” housing market, the widening K-shaped economy separating households that are thriving from those struggling with rising costs, and early signs that the once-hot job market may be cooling—along with why now is a good time for a financial check-up.In the mailbag, Farnoosh tackles listener questions including: • Should high earners prioritize Roth 401(k) contributions or diversify across other retirement strategies? • What to watch out for when a financial advisor pushes variable universal life insurance instead of traditional investing. • Creative ways families are making childcare and daycare costs more manageable. • How a teenager's part-time income and assets can affect FAFSA eligibility and college financial aid.

U.S. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey joins us for a wide-ranging conversation recorded in one sitting for both podcastsSenator Booker first rose to national prominence as the mayor of Newark, where he built a reputation for hands-on leadership and bold policy ideas. He has now served more than a decade in the U.S. Senate, becoming one of the most prominent voices in the Democratic Party.He's also entering a new chapter personally: Booker recently married and is expecting his first child—something that clearly shapes how he thinks about issues like childcare, family economics, and investing in America's future.Our conversation comes as Senator Booker unveils a new proposal called the Keep Your Pay Act—a plan that would eliminate federal income taxes on the first $75,000 of income, a move he says could dramatically increase take-home pay for many middle-class families. In this conversation, we discuss:• The Keep Your Pay Act and how it could affect American households• Why Senator Booker believes the tax system is “rigged” against working families• The rising cost of childcare and early education in America• Immigration reform and the climate of fear many immigrant families feel today• The growing power of big media companies and why independent creators matter• The economic implications of the war in Iran, including rising energy costs• Whether Booker sees a presidential run in his futureCalculate how much Booker's proposed tax act could save your household.

A pair of bills would increase monitoring of publicly funded child care centers.

Are you feeling stretched thin in your child care business right now? You're not alone. In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey get real about the struggles every owner faces — and more importantly, how to handle them in a way that strengthens your business instead of sinking it.   Tune in as they unpack the most common pressure points child care owners are dealing with today: enrollment dips, financial uncertainty, leadership challenges, broken systems, lack of diversification, partnership tension, and cultural struggles. From increasing tour conversions with proven strategies from The Art of the Tour, to building a six-month financial safety net, to defining clear leadership lanes with your spouse or partner, this episode is packed with practical tools you can apply immediately.   Listen in as Brian and Carol share lessons learned the hard way — from early financial mistakes to expansion during economic downturns — and explain why living below your means, mastering your numbers, strengthening systems, and developing leadership skills can position you for long-term stability and growth. They also discuss why diversification and strong operational systems are critical if you ever want to expand beyond one location.   If you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or even questioning whether you want to keep going, join us for this encouraging and action-focused conversation. This episode is designed to help you regain clarity, rebuild confidence, and fall in love with your child care business again.     Mentioned in this episode: GET TICKETS to the Child Care Genius LEGACY Conference:  https://childcaregenius.com/legacyconference/   Need help with your child care marketing?

If you've ever looked at the FIRE movement — Financial Independence, Retire Early — and thought, that sounds great… but what about kids? — today's episode is for you.For years, the assumption has been that FIRE works best for people without children: dual-income professionals willing to live extremely frugally in pursuit of early retirement. But what happens when you want both financial independence and a family?My guest today, Kristy Shen and Bryce Leung are some of the pioneers of the modern FIRE movement. The couple retired in their early 30s with over a million dollars invested and inspired thousands of people to rethink the traditional path of working for decades before enjoying life.But even after achieving financial independence, Kristy found herself confronting a new financial question: Could they afford to have a child?In their new book, Parent Like a Millionaire, Kristy and Bryce explore what it really takes to raise a family while maintaining financial freedom. From resisting the pressure to overspend on baby gear, to rethinking housing, childcare, and education, their approach challenges many of the assumptions we've been taught about the cost of raising kids.In this conversation, Kristy and Bryce share practical strategies for making your money work harder as a parent — and how thoughtful financial planning can reduce stress and create more freedom for families.We also explore the deeper emotional layer behind financial independence. Kristy grew up in poverty, and her pursuit of FIRE was driven not just by the desire to retire early, but by the need for security and stability. What happens when someone who has worked so hard to escape financial instability decides to raise a child? Can financial independence help break cycles of generational money trauma? Hosted on Acast.

Do you say "centers," "houskeeping area," "show and tell," or other common early childhood words without thinking about whether they matter?

Then, she moved to New York City to pursue an art career.Her time in The Big Apple didn't go as planned, leading her back to New Hampshire, where she began to see her home state through a completely different lens.Now, as the Executive Director of Stay Work Play, it's her job to convince young professionals to have the same epiphany she once did.Today, Benfield joins host Troy Farkas to share her story: Why she came back to N.H., the endless opportunities afforded to young people in the state, and the "master narrative" that's driving so many young people away.

One reason we can be confident in God in our suffering is that Christ also suffered (1 Peter 3:18). Why should it encourage us in our suffering to know that Christ also suffered? 3. What are some examples of ways that our suffering is like His suffering? Read 1 Peter 3:18 and highlight some ways Jesus' suffering is different from our suffering? 4. Have you ever considered walking away from the faith because of suffering you have experienced? What encouragement would you give to someone who was wrestling with this?5. While we might not be able to answer all the questions we have about this passage, one clear point is that we should be encouraged in our suffering because of Christ's victory (1 Peter 3:22). Since God is in control in our suffering, we can learn some valuable lessons. What are some lessons God wants us to learn in our suffering? What are some lessons you have learned?6. Another reason we can be confident in our suffering is that it is the path to glory. Christ's suffering led to glory, and we are called to follow in his steps (1 Peter 2:21). One way we follow Him is by getting baptized (1 Peter 3:21). Share with the group about your baptism experience and your understanding of what it means.7. We experienced communion this past Sunday, and we said baptism and the Lord's Supper are related. What are some similarities between baptism and the Lord's Supper? How should our experience of baptism and the Lord's Supper encourage us when we are suffering? Pray for the Unreached: The Deha in IndiaThe Deha are a small Hindu people group in northern India who speak Hindi as well as their own community language. Traditionally known for weaving winnowing fans, many now sell cloth and work in small trades. They worship Hindu deities such as Kali and rely on their own religious specialists for ceremonies. Though the Bible and gospel resources exist in Hindi, there are no known believers among them. Pray for spiritual openness, growing literacy, and for the Deha to discover lasting hope in Christ.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 02/22 30,796Giving For 03/01 22,132YTD Budget 1,211,538Giving 1,540,050 OVER/(UNDER) 328,512 Fellowship Youth & College Silent Auction | TONIGHT | 4 pm - 6pmJoin us tonight for a fun and meaningful evening as we support our mission trips to Arlington, TX, and the Czech Republic!

This week, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul continued their joint push for universal child care, announcing initial seats for 2-year-olds rolling out this fall in neighborhoods across four boroughs, excluding Staten Island. NY1 political reporter Bobby Cuza, political director Bob Hardt and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan discuss the plan and Albany lawmakers' recurring debate over taxing millionaires and corporations — an idea that polls well with voters but faces resistance in an election year. After that, the New York City Council ethics committee is moving forward with possible disciplinary action against Queens Councilwoman Vickie Paladino for some of her inflammatory posts on social media. The lawmaker says any such move would violate her First Amendment rights. The "Off Topic" team digs into the fight.

"It's education's best-kept secret." During Women in Construction Week, we're going beyond the recruitment posters to talk about what it actually takes to build a career in the electrical industry. Joining the America's Work Force Union Podcast is Diana Limon, Director of Women Recruitment and Support at IBEW Local 11 in Los Angeles. Diana didn't follow a family pipeline into the trades—she found her way through a newspaper ad in 1995 after realizing college wasn't delivering the stability she needed. Now, she's leading the charge to ensure the next generation of women doesn't just enter the trade, but stays there. In this episode, we discuss: The Retention Gap: Why recruitment is only half the battle and how childcare remains a structural barrier to women in construction. The ERiCA Grant: How California is finally putting real resources toward childcare support for apprentices. Apprenticeship Readiness: The role of MC3 and WINTER programs in preparing women for the physical and cultural realities of the jobsite. The Union Advantage: Why collective bargaining is the only way to guarantee equal pay, pensions, and a path to leadership. Listen in to hear how IBEW Local 11 is moving the needle on workforce capacity and true equity on the jobsite.

Is the “Texas Miracle” still alive — and what does it take to keep Texas competitive in 2026 and beyond? In this episode of Texas Talks, Megan Mauro, Interim President and CEO of the Texas Association of Business (TAB), joins Brad Swail to break down the state of the Texas economy. As the state chamber of commerce representing businesses of every size and industry, TAB sits at the center of Texas' pro-growth policy debates. Mauro explains how Texas maintains its reputation as a top business destination — from no personal or corporate income tax to regulatory consistency and recent property tax relief for small businesses. She discusses HB 9's business personal property tax exemption increase, why consistency across Texas' 254 counties matters, and how the Legislature is approaching affordability and housing challenges. The conversation also dives into: Why Texas is the 7th largest economy in the world Attracting corporate headquarters while protecting small businesses The importance of USMCA for Texas trade Workforce alignment between industry and education Childcare as a workforce issue Why data centers and AI are both economic and national security priorities Texas' “all of the above and below” energy strategy Mauro makes the case that a thriving business climate isn't just about corporations — it's about livelihoods, job creation, and ensuring Texas families can continue building the American dream. As the 90th Texas Legislature approaches, this episode explores what policies will shape the next chapter of the Texas economy.   00:00 — Introduction and Megan Mauro's background 01:12 — What the Texas Association of Business does 03:13 — Light regulation and pro-business principles 04:35 — The Texas Miracle and economic growth 06:29 — Why industry diversity matters in Texas 10:01 — Data centers, AI, and national security 14:53 — Tech policy and regulatory consistency 18:47 — Balancing legacy industries with innovation 21:01 — Property tax reform and small business relief 27:10 — Affordability and housing challenges 29:21 — Energy policy and grid reliability 30:59 — Advocacy in Washington and USMCA 34:45 — Workforce development and childcare solutions 38:37 — TAB Foundation and education initiatives   Watch Full-Length Interviews: https://www.youtube.com/@TexasTalks

Women in Construction Week is about more than just a recruitment campaign—it's about a workforce reality. Joining the America's Work Force Union Podcast is Krissy Webber, Business Manager of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers Local 97 in Illinois. As one of the few women leading a construction local, Webber offers a blunt assessment of why the industry must evolve to meet modern labor demands. In this episode, we discuss: The Union Advantage: Why equal pay, healthcare, and pensions starting on "Day 1" make roofing a middle-class stabilizer. The Retention Gap: Why the "4:00 AM reality" of construction start times makes childcare the #1 barrier for women in the trades. Leadership Representation: Why having women in less than 1% of management roles stalls recruitment momentum. Career Transitions: Webber's shift from the burnout of retail management to the security of a union career. Webber's message to women is simple: The trades are a present workforce necessity, not a future goal. Get involved, find your allies, and start building your retirement today.

Research suggests it benefits our physical and mental health, but it might not seem like it when conflict arises and couples struggle to co-manage a household.

In this episode, host Samantha Laine Perfas talks with business professor Debora Spar, psychiatrist and family counselor Richard Schwartz, and bestselling author Eve Rodsky about the role of marriage in modern society.

On this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we celebrate Women in Construction Week with a deep dive into the intersection of public policy, labor power, and gender equity. Our guest, Carol Kim, Business Manager of the San Diego Building and Construction Trades Council, shares the "San Diego Story"—a blueprint for how labor can reverse anti-union legislation to build a massive, stable pipeline of work. Key Topics Covered: The Long Game in San Diego: Carol details the strategic campaign to "flip" the city council and pass a ballot measure with 58% voter support to overturn the region's long-standing ban on Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). The $1B Pipeline: How a citywide PLA covering the capital improvements program is creating economic stability for more than 30,000 union workers and expanding apprenticeship slots. Women in the Trades: A candid assessment of why women's participation has climbed from 2.5% to nearly 10% in the region and the cultural shifts still required to reach equity. Childcare as Workforce Development: Why California's ERICA program (Equal Representation in Construction Apprenticeships) is a game-changer for retaining women who are primary caregivers. From Teacher to Labor Leader: Carol reflects on how her background in education and HIV prevention shaped her approach to organizing and why she views labor as the most effective tool for fighting structural poverty. What You'll Learn: Why the nature of construction makes citywide PLAs essential for worker stability, and how intentional mentorship is transforming the face of the San Diego job site.

What if the most powerful shift you could make in your child care business didn't start with strategy, staffing, or finances — but with what's happening inside your own mind? In this episode of the Childcare Genius Podcast, Brian and Carol Duprey invite listeners into a conversation sparked by their time in Florida, where the scenery may be inspiring, but the message is universal: mindset isn't about surroundings — it's about perspective. Tune in to this episode as they explore how attitude shapes leadership, culture, and the outcomes you experience every day in your center.   Listen in as Brian and Carol unpack the idea that your attitude determines your altitude — and why leaders set the emotional temperature for their entire organization. Drawing parallels from sports, business, and real-world challenges facing child care owners, they discuss how external pressures like funding changes or daily operational stressors are unavoidable, yet how you respond to them influences your directors, teachers, and ultimately the children you serve. Join us as they share practical guidance on checking personal stress at the door, leading with confidence, and creating a culture grounded in positivity and accountability.   Tune in as Brian and Carol share practical mindset strategies tailored for child care owners, directors, and leaders looking to strengthen culture, improve leadership impact, and stay resilient through challenges. From shaping daily habits and managing self-talk to setting vision and pursuing personal growth, this episode delivers straightforward encouragement and actionable perspective.

Families in rural areas of New York say it is increasingly difficult to find child care. According to a report from the Children's Agenda, seven rural counties in Western New York shows can be characterized as child care deserts, where there are more than three children under the age of five per licensed child care slot for children in that age group. Structural and funding issues are contributing to the challenges, and providers point to low child care educator pay as a critical factor in the availability of reliable care. So what can be done? Our guests discuss it: Pete Nabozny, director of policy for The Children's Agenda Rachel Bonsignore, executive director of Liftoff Western New York Kathleen Valley, executive board member for Praising Kids Child Care Center in Medina  Taryn Moyle, child care resource center program manager for Community Action of Orleans and Genesee, Inc.

Choosing childcare isn't one-size-fits-all — and no one really prepares you for the emotional, financial, and logistical reality of it. In this episode, Annabel and Dale break down the most common caregiving options (live-in and live-out nannies, part-time help, daycare, and au pairs) and what it's actually like to navigate each one.We talk real costs beyond hourly rates, coverage gaps, PTO, last-minute cancellations, burnout, maternity leave, flexibility, and how different setups impact your work life, mental load, and family rhythm. Whether you're pregnant, newly postpartum, managing multiple kids, or rethinking your current setup, this episode will help you feel more informed, supported, and confident in choosing what works for your season. Because motherhood is hard enough — you shouldn't have to figure childcare out alone.
