In 2007, while working to disarm a roadside bomb (IED) in Afghanistan, he was injured by a secondary IED resulting in the amputation of his right leg above the knee.-In the years following his injury, Adam endeavored to find meaning and purpose. Ultimately, he found that running, sports, and advocacy work was his path to fulfillment and self-actualization.-He is a seven-time Guinness World Record holder, became the first above-knee amputee to complete a 100-mile ultramarathon within 30 hours in 2016, has five 100-mile finishes, and set an amputee record time of 16:13:43 for 100 miles in 2024.

He saw the myriad ways that people handled the process of recovery, many using sport to not only overcome their new adversity, but to rise to a higher level of functioning in the aftermath of trauma. By the end of his stay at Walter Reed Medical Center, he made a pledge to himself that he would utilize his experience, understanding, and compassion to help others overcome their individual physical and emotional challenges to reach their maximum potential.-He completed a Master's degree in Rehabilitation and Clinical Counseling from George Washington University and a second master's degree in Sport & Performance Psychology from the University of Denver.

http://bible.com/events/49095103 Church of the Nazarene - Harrisonburg Living The Jesus Life: Part 8 A Panel Discussion of Philippians 4:1-9 Living The Jesus Life This series is a part of our annual practice of spending time focusing on one book of the Bible. In this case, the study is of Philippians – the letter Paul wrote from a Roman prison to the church at Philippi, the first church Paul started in Eastern Europe (see Acts 16). The people at Philippi were facing the resistance of Rome but remained a vibrant community of faith. Philippians is a letter that speaks to living life as a disciple of Jesus in 2023. That's why we've entitled the series, 'Living the Jesus Life'. Today's focus is Philippians 4:1-9 ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭9 ‬‬Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends! I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Today, our focus is on Philippians 4:6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. To focus on that directive, "Do not be anxious about anything," we've assembled a panel of experts to address some of the key issues and provide tools for overcoming anxiety. Joining us this morning are: Ashlea Link: Ashlea is the School Social Worker for Rockingham County Schools and is married to Jared, Campus Pastor for our East Rockingham Campus. Learn more about her here: https://www.cotnaz.org/podcast/06-14-20-wbtx-program-ashlea-link-testimony/ Pastor Margaret Michael: Margaret is Outreach Pastor for Church of the Nazarene and Pastor of our Celebrate Recovery Ministry.

Anxious for Nothing is a four-part group/class designed for those ministering to others who deal with anxiety or those experiencing anxiety themselves.

Spaces are limited for the group, so please register soon: https://cotnaz.churchcenter.com/groups/connect-groups/anxious-for-nothing 1 Peter 5:7 ESV Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. John 14:27 ESV Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Matthew 6:25-34 ESV “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

We've all probably gone through a time when we feel like we want to change careers. The challenge is, how do you know if it's really time for a change? Change can be intimidating, and making a career switch can be daunting. However, if what you are doing isn't fulfilling your needs or providing value in your life, that just might be your sign that it's time to jump into something new! I'm so excited to share today's podcast guests, Maddison Husted and Mallory Vredeveld, Owners of The Five Forks located in Jackson, MI. I recently met them at our two day GSD event at The Collins Off Main in Chelsea, MI and their story is amazing! After some unforeseen career shifts, Maddison and Mallory have grown a business, while utilizing their strongest personality traits to ensure growth and efficiency in their business. Listen in to learn more about their journey! Main Topics: *Remember to have fun while building a business from your passion *The best results sometimes come out of the biggest challenges *Defining what you have to do in your business and delegating the rest Key Takeaways: *Remember that change can be good *Set boundaries, they work! *Don't be afraid to ask for help More About Our Guest: We are two sisters, Mallory and Maddison, who for different reasons both ended up becoming stay at home moms during COVID and wanted something we could do for ourselves! We love making special treats for all different occasions and do most of our baking and creating after our five kids (the five forks!) go to bed! The oldest was born in 2014 and the youngest in 2020 - so we always have something going on! The kids are our best taste testers and take their jobs very seriously! Baking has always been a creative outlet for both of us - even as kids! Being able to create cakes for such special occasions inspires us every time to make our newest favorite design. From flavor testing, to design and color mixing then finishing with perfectly paired sprinkles or a custom topper - we love every step! Except maybe the dishes.  Mallory is the older sister and is definitely the planner and task oriented one. With a Master's Degree in Clinical Counseling, she spent 14 years in clinical and leadership positions in the mental health field before becoming a Stay at Home Mom and Small Business Owner. Mallory brings lots of creativity and outside of the box thinking to the business (and is also a strong advocate for family balance). Mallory and her husband Dan have three of the Five Forks, Emelia, Eloise and Elliot. Outside of cakes, Mallory enjoys other creative hobbies, traveling and spending time with her family and friends!  Maddison is the perfectionist. With a Masters degree in Chemistry and a little over eight years working in biochemistry. Every single one of our recipes are written out with measurements down to the gram and baking times measured depending on the season all because of her left brain approach to the world. Maddison and her husband Keir have two of the Five Forks, Thea and Posey. While Keir doesn't enjoy cake (who knows) Thea and Posey are happy to pick up the slack! Maddison loves trying new recipes and keeping up with current trends to always bring unique yet personal touches to all of our cakes!

Have you ever had a moment when you know you are in the presence of a true sage?  Well, that is exactly how I felt in the presence of Scott Anderson. In today's episode, Scott will openly share about his family's three generations' struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, and how these addictions can not only cause deep suffering, but also profound humility and grace. Scott not only openly talks about his “cracking open” moments but also shares with us how his personal story has brought so much more depth to his professional life. Scott built 3 for-profit businesses, including an agency that he ran for over 25 years and later sold to his employees. He has combined his business acumen with his experience as a licensed mental health therapist to establish the not-for-profit, AtEaseUSA.org, which develops and deploys leading-edge PTSD treatment technology in partnership with Tel Aviv University and the Israeli government. Scott's experience in business is matched by his premier training in coaching and therapy. He trained at the preeminent Coaches Training Institute and is certified by the International Coaching Federation (IFC).He also graduated summa cum laude with a master's degree from the University of Nebraska School of Clinical Counseling. Yes, Scott has all the degrees and accolades but, in the end, this sage teaches us that what matters most in life is making a daily choice around asking yourself one question, “How am I going to live knowing everything one day is going to go away?” Today I would invite you to live by soaking in Scott's story about sobriety, survival, and most importantly love.Learn more about Scott Anderson here: https://doubledareyou.us/Find Scott on Social: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottandersonms/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottandersonmentalhealth/Learn more about Molly Carroll here: https://molly-carroll.com/Get your free Body Emotion Map: https://mollycarrollprograms.com/mapFind me on SocialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mollycarrollinc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Molly-Carroll-Inc-420796934793507
