Title: Practicing the Way — Living Out Your CallingMain Texts: Ephesians 2:8–10; Matthew 3:16–17; Acts 9; Romans 1:1; Colossians 3:23–24Big Idea: You were created on purpose, for a purpose. Your identity is rooted in Christ, your calling flows from that identity, and your assignments are how you live it out.Key Points:Identity: Who You AreYour identity is not based on your performance, people's opinions, or what you have.It is anchored in the grace of God—“By grace you have been saved… not by works.” (Eph 2:8–10)You are God's poiēma—His workmanship, His masterpiece, His new creation.You are not what you do—you are who God says you are: beloved, child, disciple.Jesus' Identity Before MinistryBefore Jesus did anything public, the Father declared: “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”Our identity is not achieved—it's received.Everything Jesus did flowed from who He already was. The same is true for us.Calling: Your WhyYour calling is how you carry your identity into the world.It is shaped by your story—your pain, your passions, your personality.Calling is not a job title—it's a theme that shows up wherever you go.You are called to embody and express the love of Jesus in every sphere of life.The Apostle Paul is a powerful example: God didn't erase who Paul was—He redeemed it and used it for His mission.Assignment: Your Where and WhatAssignment is the current way your calling is being expressed.Assignments change—calling does not.Paul was a church planter and a tentmaker. In every season, he lived out his calling—even when the setting changed.What seems small or unspiritual might actually be sacred in God's plan.What About You?Are you neglecting your current assignment because it seems beneath you?Are you bitter that your role doesn't look like your dream?God might be using this “ordinary” assignment to prepare you for something eternal.Colossians 3:23–24 reminds us: Whatever you do… do it for the Lord.Final Challenge:Step into your identity. Clarify your calling. Embrace your assignment.And if you're unsure where to start—just start serving. God already has good works prepared for you. Your job is simply to walk in them.

If you're serious about growing people, building culture, and learning how to lead with both clarity and heart—this one's for you.Key Takeaways:Intentional Coaching Pays OffDustin emphasizes that real coaching goes beyond performance reviews—it's about investing time, asking the right questions, and helping people discover their own solutions.

Dustin reflects on the importance of personal relationships in leadership and why caring deeply builds trust that translates to business success.Leadership Is a JourneyDustin shares how his leadership style has shifted over the years—from a driver mindset to one focused on development and vision.

Shame in Supervision – Creative Learning During an Academic Break In Episode 342 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore the art of apologising as a counsellor - why it matters, how to do it effectively, and how to avoid making it about yourself. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Dr. Ruth Birkbeck about a powerful and often unspoken topic: shame in supervision. We explore what it looks like, how it can impact both supervision and client work, and what can be done to repair it. And lastly in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken look at how you can make the most of your academic break with creative learning - offering tips for staying engaged without overwhelming yourself or contaminating your core training. The Art of Apologising as a Counsellor [starts at 03:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore what makes a meaningful apology in the therapeutic relationship. Key points include: Apologising isn't part of most training, yet it's crucial when a rupture occurs in therapy. A well-placed apology can strengthen the therapeutic relationship and model healthy repair. An apology should focus on the client's experience, not your own discomfort. Avoid justifying your behaviour or offloading guilt onto the client. Principles of a meaningful apology: Clarify your intention – Why are you apologising? Acknowledge the impact – Understand how your action affected the client. Resist the urge to justify – Don't make excuses or shift the focus. Take ownership – Use “I” statements to show accountability. Invite the client's response – Open the door to dialogue. Don't expect forgiveness – That's the client's choice, not your right. Repair the rupture – Explore what can be done to rebuild trust. Tolerate discomfort – Apologising can feel hard, but it's part of ethical practice. Shame in Supervision [starts at 29:12 mins] In this week's Practice Matters, Rory speaks with Dr. Ruth Birkbeck about the impact of shame in supervision. The key points of this discussion include: Shame in supervision can silence supervisees and damage the working alliance. Common causes include: Judging or criticising supervisees' clinical decisions. Idealising supervisees and ignoring their vulnerabilities. Expecting them to know everything, especially in second trainings. Shame often results in withdrawal, silence, and loss of trust. Supervisees may internalise shame and stop bringing important issues to supervision. How to avoid shaming supervisees: Be aware of your own power and possible transference. Stay curious rather than critical. Show your own vulnerability, e.g. by talking about past mistakes. Openly name and repair ruptures if you suspect shame has occurred. Create an attuned, safe supervisory relationship that allows for growth. Shame often arises not from what was said, but from how it was experienced. Creative Learning During an Academic Break [starts at 53:10 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken offer advice on how to use your academic break effectively without overwhelming yourself or stepping outside your core training model. Tips for creative learning: Avoid cross-modality contamination – If you're training in one modality, don't dive deep into others during a break. Focus on areas that are universal and always useful: Counselling skills Personal development Professional ethics Use your break to: Review past material to reinforce what you've already learned. Read ahead if you know the next module topic. Connect with peers through study groups or online communities. Watch live skills demos to see techniques in action. Other ideas: Explore special interest CPD (e.g. grief, young people,

This episode offers crucial advice for homeowners seeking to hire pond contractors, aiming to prevent them from being exploited by unscrupulous individuals. Your host, Eric Triplet, along with his team, outlines ten essential questions homeowners should ask a contractor before engaging their services. These questions cover vital aspects such as licensing, insurance, warranties, project timelines, and communication protocols. The discussion emphasizes the importance of due diligence and recognizing red flags, drawing on real-world examples of homeowners who faced significant losses due to unreliable contractors. Ultimately, the podcast seeks to empower homeowners to make informed decisions and ensure a positive experience when investing in a pond project. Key Takeaways: Always verify that a contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured, as this provides accountability and protection. Be willing to pay for a contractor's initial site visit or design consultation, as this often indicates a service-oriented approach rather than a desperate, persuasive one. Clarify all guarantees on workmanship and how the contractor handles product warranties, understanding their protocol for addressing issues after installation. Establish a clear project timeline and daily communication expectations to stay informed about progress and avoid misunderstandings. Ask to visit completed projects and speak with past clients to gain firsthand insight into the contractor's work quality and customer satisfaction.

Send us a textSPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingAll good things must come to an end. After 187 episodes spanning more than three years, we're signing off with our final Question of Faith podcast. But don't worry—this isn't a somber farewell, but rather a reflection on life's transitions and what truly matters.We open with a profound realization that's hit each of us at different points in ministry: while we take our work seriously, the Church continues regardless of our individual contributions. As Fr. Eric puts it, "If I don't do my job, there'll still be people in the Seminary, because it's God who calls, not me." This humbling truth has taught us to hold our roles with a "loose grip," recognizing that our legacy isn't found in buildings bearing our names or possessions that burden others after we're gone.The timing of our finale coincides with organizational changes within the Diocese of Cleveland, where divisions are being combined and new ministries are emerging. While we can't share all the details just yet, we're excited about what's next. And how fitting that we record just after Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit empowered the apostles to spread the Gospel in new languages—a beautiful redemption of the Tower of Babel story that once divided humanity.SPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingAt Briefcase Marketing, we create marketing that inspires action and delivers results.  We will:Clarify your message to attract the right audience.Streamline your website to convert more visitors into customers, donors or volunteers.Create consistency to build trust and deepen relationships across every marketing platform (Emails, Ads, Social Media, Etc).Check out some of their  successful clients and their most recent client, Doyle Med.WomankindTheology of the Body CLESt. John Cantius ParishBetween theological reflections, we answer one final question about fasting before Communion (it's one hour before receiving, not before Mass begins), share softball league updates, and reminisce about memorable moments from our podcast journey.

Quick overview of Mind Mirror for those who missed the first podcast. Artificial intelligence is used to give a risk assessment of someone who potentially has a concussion. Correlation is one element used to determine if the patient has a concussion Coming straight in from bright light, which could restrict the pupils, but the correlation should be the same. Light intensity, fatigue, and cold can affect pupils. Taking Nyquil or something that makes you groggy or sluggish will negatively impact the test results. Hit the maximum restriction in one second or less; it should not be three or more seconds. The Athletic Trainer needs to know what is currently going on with the athlete.  Age can also have a very slow response, which is why the app looks at other factors. PLR - healthy score indicates a high probability that the athlete does not have a concussion. A score lower than .8 indicates a high probability that the athlete does have a concussion. Caffeine's effect? Caffeine can constrict the pupils; in Emma's case, her pupils were very constricted due to a possible combination of the caffeine and light restriction.  You can use a light meter to help tell if the pupils are restricted. Mind Mirror's Indoor versus Outdoor differential? Try to do it in a shaded area or inside, and try to do it in an area that does not affect pupils Does it matter if you do the baseline test or the after-incident test? Exact same test, just allows them to segment the data.  Will the administrator be able to see the results in the app? Yes When using the Mind Mirror app it asks test result is normal or not normal before we see the results. Should we be able to see that before? SOAP, what did you observe? Did you observe things in a normal or abnormal state? Are things normal? They will be removed in the next version. Clarify the colors a little more.  One of our results showed .09 and was orange. Color scheme: green, light orange, to red An extremely low score should have shown up in red Will look into why it did not come up as red, yellow ,or orange is trending toward higher risk How is the new prototype with more biomarkers coming along?  Starting development, exposing to customers, they do their observation and send notes back, send observations ,the advance score of the risk probability, the advanced model is now currently being combined into the app Does the environment of the test matter?  It seemed we got different results from indoors vs. outdoors in the shade.  Lighting does matter Is there any more research you would like to do in the future? What do you want to prove?  There are very few studies on female athletes and brain studies, not a lot of info, looking into studies on female rugby, looking at a lot of studies of different ages, not a lot of info on studies  How do you intend to begin selling the product when it is ready? Will it be a monthly service? A one-time fee? Discounts for bulk pricing(multiple accounts)?  A variety of pricing models, the goal is to get it into the hands of as many people as possible Youth leagues and high schools are a bulk price, $5.00 for 1 year or $2.50 for 3 years Could you ever see Mind Mirror being bought out and implemented in one of the other concussion testing systems? Have had conversations with Sway to provide them with an objective measurement.  Healthy Roster, incorporating MindMirror results into the system. The goal is to add sensors to help tell if protective gear should be added, and telehealth  The next model will have biomarkers for risk, age, and other health issues Contact: Mind Mirror - info@mindmirror.health Glenn Bowers - glennb@mindmirror.health Ben Stephenson - https://www.instagram.com/_benstephenson/ Emma Gunnin -  Jeremy - @SportsMedicineBroadcast on IG

We all want teams that are energized, engaged, and operating at full potential. The key? Tap into what truly drives people. When we leverage strengths and give flexibility around how work gets done, we create an environment where people don't just perform—they thrive. It starts with knowing our team members well and aligning their work with what lights them up. From there, we shift from rigid expectations to empowering autonomy—keeping the “why” and “what” clear while letting the “how” be a co-creation. Trust deepens when we take the time to connect beneath the surface, share our own leadership purpose, and show real vulnerability. That's when teams bring their best—not because they have to, but because they want to.Key Takeaways:1. Lead with Strengths. Recognize and align work with what energizes each team member to unlock resilience, flow, and creativity.2. Flex the How, Anchor the Why. Be clear on purpose and outcomes, but flexible on the path forward to fuel ownership and innovation.3. Know What's Below the Surface. Get curious about what drives behavior and create space for deeper understanding and connection.4. Lead from Your Legacy. Clarify your leadership purpose and use it as a consistent thread that inspires and guides your actions.5. Vulnerability Builds Trust. Showing up authentically encourages others to do the same and strengthens team engagement.

Send us a textSPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingCould Orthodox and Catholic Christians finally reunite after centuries of separation? As both traditions celebrated Easter on the same day this year, we explore the fascinating possibility of reconciliation between these ancient branches of Christianity.The calendrical quirk that aligned Orthodox and Catholic Easter dates this year isn't just a mathematical curiosity – it's a powerful symbol of potential unity. While Orthodox Christians typically use the Julian calendar (placing their Easter about 13 days different from the Gregorian calendar used by Catholics), this year's synchronization recalls the shared foundation established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.  More on this at this link.Pope Leo, whose papal crest bears the motto "In Christ we become one," is continuing dialogue started by Pope Francis regarding a permanent alignment of Easter celebrations. With the 1700th anniversary of Nicaea approaching and Pope Leo planning his first papal trip to Turkey for the commemoration, the momentum for meaningful unity seems stronger than ever. This historic moment coincides with what we're calling a "springtime in Christianity" – a period of renewal marked by increasing interest in faith traditions among younger generations seeking meaning beyond what secular culture offers.SPONSOR:   Briefcase MarketingAt Briefcase Marketing, we create marketing that inspires action and delivers results.  We will:Clarify your message to attract the right audience.Streamline your website to convert more visitors into customers, donors or volunteers.Create consistency to build trust and deepen relationships across every marketing platform (Emails, Ads, Social Media, Etc).Check out some of their  successful clients and their most recent client, Doyle Med.WomankindTheology of the Body CLESt. John Cantius ParishThe moving story of the Four Chaplains – Catholic, Jewish, Reformed, and Methodist ministers who gave away their life jackets and died together praying for others as their ship sank during WWII – provides a powerful model for interfaith cooperation. Their example reminds us that unity doesn't require uniformity, but rather mutual respect and shared purpose.Whether through local ecumenical efforts like joint Good Friday services or international dialogues between church leaders, these steps toward reunification represent healing for one of Christianity's most significant historical divisions. Could this be the moment when the Orthodox and Catholic traditions finally find their way back to communion? Join us as we explore this question and its profound implications for the future of faith.

Relationships are hard especially challenging in chaotic environments. People may unknowingly trigger each other based on past trauma or unresolved issues. If you're committed to the relationship, be patient and compassionate—your partner may carry emotional baggage. Healing in relationships involves gradually addressing and softening past pain. Sometimes, past experiences create "gremlins" or roadblocks that affect current relationships. Communication is key—learning new ways to communicate can transform your connection. Both partners need to be able to give and receive emotionally and practically. Jeremy Roadruck emphasizes: “Work on yourself first.” Personal growth can be painful, but it's necessary for healthier relationships. Start small—when listening to relationship advice in this video podcast, apply one or two suggestions at a time. Watch the video here to learn more from Matthew P.

Gratitude isn't a garnish! It's the main dish. In Part 2 of our conversation with “The Gratitude Guy” Kevin Monroe, we roll up our sleeves and get practical. This episode is all about turning appreciation into action — without falling into the traps of toxic positivity or meaningless thanks. You'll learn how to deploy gratitude as a leadership strategy, how to make it part of your workplace rhythms, and why it transforms not just your team culture but your people's *entire lives*. (And honestly, yours too.) If Part 1 was the “why,” this one is the “how.” This isn't about feel-good fluff. It's about building a joy-filled, high-performing workplace on purpose.

Start deploying: Three steps to use gratitude well. 15:46 The 4S Formula: The four parts every "thank you" needs to actually land. 20:04 The Big Bocks: How to deploy gratitude today. One thing you can do to create a and why generative workplace that wins. Here's the real real? Cultures that prioritize joy and gratitude don't just "retain" employees. They freaking energize them.

Gratitude isn't just a warm fuzzy feeling — it's a leadership superpower. But most of us are doing it wrong… or at least, doing it on autopilot. Ready to learn how real gratitude can transform your team, your culture, and your own leadership mindset? Let's dive in. In this episode of The Joyosity™ Podcast, Jenn Whitmer welcomes Kevin Monroe — globally known as "The Gratitude Guy" — to explore how gratitude isn't just nice-to-have, it's a game-changer at work. Kevin shares his personal story of accidentally becoming a gratitude expert, the difference between genuine gratitude and transactional thankfulness, and why seeing people — and we mean really seeing them — is at the heart of leadership. This isn't about gratitude jars gathering dust or robotic thank-yous at checkout lines. It's about sparking real human connection, even in the toughest seasons of leadership. Here's what we talked about: 06:12 The Pit of Despair Can Be a Launchpad: Kevin shares how hitting a personal low point ignited his extraordinary work around gratitude — and how struggle often plants the seeds of deeper joy. 09:40 Gratitude ≠ Thankfulness: Thankfulness can be transactional and automatic. Gratitude requires human connection, recognition, and intentionality. 16:05 The Kmart Card Problem: Forcing gratitude isn't going to work for you…or your people 19:55 Connection Powers Engagement: Leadership isn't about checking the “gratitude” box. It's about creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and valued. 28:48 Gratitude Empowers: Simple shifts — like asking “Who made your day better this week?” — can build trust, retention, and authentic workplace culture. If today's conversation sparked something in you, imagine what a life infused with real gratitude could unlock. Share this episode with a leader who needs a reminder: seeing people — truly seeing them — changes everything.

And that tends to show up in self talk.” Zbierski: “You can always get into the rut on your own, but you need help to get in the groove.” Roger Knecht: “Live life with curiosity and gratitude. That'd be a great place to start.” Behind the Story: Rob Zerbinsky shares his journey from the bicycle industry to becoming a mindset expert, detailing how he learned to master his own mind and help others do the same.
