In this episode of Tempo with Chris Thomas, we dissect Ralph Waldo Emerson's timeless essay “Compensation” and reveal how it's more than just poetic philosophy, it's a spiritual law, a personal mirror, and a blueprint for elevation.From universal justice to personal accountability, Chris breaks down how every action, word, and intention creates a ripple effect; one that pays you back in character, consequence, or compensation. This episode connects Emerson's thoughts with biblical scripture, modern-day stats, and real-life examples of how people rise, fall, and rebuild based on what they give to the world.Topics Covered: • What Emerson really meant by “every sweet hath its sour” • Why you can't cheat the system — because you are the system • How pain becomes payment and obedience creates overflow • Scriptural parallels to every major point in the essay • Real-life stories of justice and elevationFeatured Scriptures:Galatians 6:7, Numbers 32:23, James 1:2-4, Philippians 2:8-9, Ecclesiastes 11:1, Proverbs 19:3For more Transformative Demonstrations & Insights: Tempo Mastery Programhttps://www.paceset.org/product-page/tempo-mastery?origin=shopping+cartUNTapped: The Power of Personal Development Bookhttps://www.paceset.org/product-page/untapped-the-power-of-personal-development?origin=shopping+cartUNTapped Self Analysis Worksheet https://www.paceset.org/product-page/self-analysis-wrksht?origin=shopping+cartFREE: UNTapped Personal Development Planhttps://www.paceset.org/product-page/pdp-wrksht?origin=shopping+cartTempo Capital: Trade w/Chris Workshop https://www.paceset.org/product-page/mid-day-trade-with-chris?origin=shopping+cartEMP Bible Study: to join email us! email: thomas@paceset.org 

The guys play audio from Chris Thomas' interview with Dan Orvlosky on how this Falcons offense is being predictable at the moment, and how that predictability is leading to some bad habits from Michael Penix.

HR3 - Zac Robinson must simplify offense for Michael Penix without making it vanilla In hour three Mike Johnson and Beau Morgan let listeners call in and talk about who their favorite person to listen to talk about football is. Mike and Beau also let listeners give their predictions to the Falcons versus Commanders game and the Georgia versus Alabama game in the Wake Up Call! Then, the guys spend some time with former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, and now analyst for the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network Dave Archer! Mike, Beau, and Dave discuss how the Falcons prevent one bad loss from turning into two bad losses, if Dave thinks being in the pistol formation or shotgun formation a lot promotes bad footwork for quarterbacks, being in the pistol formation having nothing to do with running backs being able to or not being able to press the hole, Falcons' Offensive Coordinator Zac Robinson saying he might need to simplify the offense for Michael Penix Jr., how the Commanders' offense changes if Jayden Daniels is playing quarterback versus if Marcus Mariota is playing quarterback, how Dave thinks Commanders' Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury will try to attack Defensive Coordinator Jeff Ulbrich and the Falcons' defense and how he thinks Commanders' Defensive Coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. will try to attack Zac Robinson and the Falcons' offense, and how he's feeling about Team U.S.A's chances in the Ryder Cup. The guys also give their final thoughts on the Atlanta Falcons' home matchup with the Washington Commanders on Sunday, let you hear some of what ESPN NFL analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky had to say about Falcons' quarterback Michael Penix Jr. struggling with his footwork right now when he joined Chris Thomas tonight last night, react to what Orlovsky had to say, explain why they think It's possible that the pistol formation could be throwing off Michael Penix Jr.'s timing with his wide receivers, give their final thoughts on the Georgia versus Alabama game tomorrow, and then close out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!

HR2 - Zac Robinson & Michael Penix must help each other have bounce back game In hour two Mike Johnson and Beau Morgan continue to preview the Atlanta Falcons' home matchup with the Washington Commanders on Sunday, talk about how the problem with Zac Robinson's playbook and the Falcons' offense is that there's no depth to it right now, let you hear some of what ESPN NFL analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky had to say about thinking the pistol formation promotes bad footwork when he joined Chris Thomas last night, react to what Orlovsky had to say, explain why they think Zac Robinson's offense isn't the reason for Michael Penix Jr.'s bad footwork, react to the latest news, rumors, and reports in the NFL as they go In The Huddle, make their picks against the spread, and then close out hour two by playing a round of Fair or Foul!

Are we raising strong disciples or just filling church seats? In this explosive episode of Tempo with Chris Thomas, we pull back the curtain on a hard truth: many believers are overchurched and underdeveloped.Week after week, millions attend services, yet when adversity strikes, their faith folds. Why? Because attendance is not application. Worship is not a concert. And the sanctuary was never meant to be a social club it's supposed to be a training ground.With hard-hitting stats and national surveys, Chris exposes the shocking gap between the effectiveness the church should have and the results it's actually producing. From outreach failures to shallow discipleship, the data proves it: we've mastered the rhythm of church but neglected the work of growth.This episode isn't about bashing the church; it's about calling it to the blueprint. You'll discover why so many believers crumble under pressure, what scripture says about true development, and how to break free from spiritual stagnation.If you've ever felt like something is missing between the pulpit and your personal growth this episode is your wake-up call.

INXS recorded their biggest album, Kick, in Sydney and Paris, produced by Chris Thomas. Atlantic Records didn't like the record offered them $1 million to go back to Australia and record another album. The band said no. Good call. Kick was released in October 1987 and peaked at No. 1 in Australia, No. 3 on the US Billboard 20, and had four top 10 singles But they had more than Kick. INXS' music filled a niche, on the radio and in your head  They were a band that was electrifying live, had a charismatic frontman, and a mix of rock, pop, and funk.  And they were knocked around more than a little because they weren't simply a straight-ahead rock and roll band. Seems unfair to be judged based on what others sounded like, because INXS was unique: A rock band that had grooves and thump and a full dance floor.  And Hutchence is one of the great frontmen of the rock era. I wanted to travel their album path and hear the before and after around Kick. I found some gems and underappreciated rockers.  I also explore why they were not always loved by critics. Let's go. And let's rock, because INXS does. Turn it up
