A new MP3 sermon from Whitcomb Ministries is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: The Conversion of an Evolutionist (Part 1) Subtitle: (EGT) Biblical Distinctions Speaker: Dr. John Whitcomb Broadcaster: Whitcomb Ministries Event: Radio Broadcast Date: 5/10/2025 Bible: Matthew 12:39-40; Romans 8:28 Length: 25 min.
Can you imagine Dr. John Whitcomb—one of the founders of the modern Biblical creation movement—ever being an evolutionist?Well, he was at one time—many years ago—an unconverted evolutionist! But God had a different plan, and our speaker begins to unfold that story today.On this edition of "Encounter God's Truth," we begin a four-part look at how God worked providentially in the life of our speaker—first to bring him to faith in Christ and then to give him a foundation for a lifetime of study, service and teaching of creationism and apologetics.We trust that you will be encouraged by our program this week. Whitcomb Ministries presents it with appreciation to Grace Bible Church in Elkhart, Indiana, where this message was first given. We also bring it to you in the hope that it will strengthen your conviction that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end.
In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. He continues his look, that began in our previous program, at the proofs that Jesus is who He said He is…that He's God, that He rose from the dead, and is alive today. Main Points Did Jesus really exist?

Send us a textIn this episode of UX Leadership by Design, Mark Baldino talks with Chris Silvestri, founder and chief conversion copywriter at Conversion Alchemy. Chris brings a rare blend of backgrounds—software engineer, UX designer, and conversion copywriter—to tackle one of the toughest challenges in B2B: turning complex decision-making into clear, effective messaging. We dig into his AI-powered empathy framework, PATH, and explore how he uses customer research, simulated personas, and real language to help teams write content that connects. For anyone working in UX, product, or content, this is a masterclass in aligning messaging with how humans actually think, feel, and decide.Key TakeawaysEmpathy can be “engineered” – Chris shares his AI-powered PATH framework (Prepare, Articulate, Test, Harmonize) to simulate customer personas and deepen user empathy.Conversion is a series of micro-decisions – It's not just about a final click—every piece of copy should guide users through their decision-making process one step at a time.Vague messaging creates drop-off – If users can't understand what you do, who it's for, or why it's different in a few seconds, they'll bounce.Expectation-setting is everything – From homepage copy to “Book a Demo” CTAs, clear expectations can dramatically reduce friction and build trust.AI won't replace writers—it augments them – Used correctly, LLMs can simulate customers, test ideas, and accelerate iteration—if humans remain in the loop.UX, sales, and copy need a shared foundation – Chris's work helps unify these functions by anchoring messaging in customer research and decision psychology.Chapters00:00 – From Engineering to Empathy03:47 – Lessons from Dangerous Machines06:02 – The Pyramid of Conversion10:56 – Jobs to Be Done in B2B13:47 – Selling to the Whole Buying Team17:45 – Common Copy Mistakes25:45 – AI and Empathy: The PATH Framework31:00 – How Chris Uses AI Personas for Better Copy33:51 – AI as an Accelerator, Not a Replacement34:00 – From Copywriter to Conversion ArchitectResources & LinksConversion Alchemy Website, Newsletter, & PodcastConnect with Christopher Silvestri Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Fuzzy Math - B2B & Enterprise UX Design Consultancy
In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. If Jesus didn't rise from death to life, none of the other tenets of the faith matter.

It's an Emma-jority Wednesday and we've got 2 great guests for you. First though, Emma and Matt soak in some of the horrifying news coming out of Israel's siege on Gaza, where children are starving. The Trump administration has compounded the problem by continuing to support the Israeli military onslaught as they plan to intensify operations there. After that, Syracuse University professor Austin Kocher joins Emma to discuss the Trump administration's efforts to conscript local law enforcement to crack down on immigrant communities, as well as other extreme and unconstitutional tactics being taken by federal immigration enforcement agencies. Check out Austin's writing and research on his Substack: https://austinkocher.substack.com/ Then Dr. Kellan Baker, Executive Director of the Institute for Health Research and Policy at Whitman-Walker, gives his reaction to a new Trump administration report that endorses the widely discredited idea of so-called conversion therapy. He also talks about the barriers the Trump administration is fortifying to prevent trans people from getting the health care they need. In the Fun Half, Emma and Matt check in on the PBD podcast's reaction to the genius Trump idea of reopening Alcatraz as a prison. Their reviews are mixed folks! Meanwhile, Ben Shapiro is calling for the Trump administration to fire Peter Navarro and elevate Scott Bessent. All that and more on today's Emmajority Report!

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this solo episode, I'm sharing a powerful shift that's shaping how I lead, connect, and scale in 2025: building a community-first brand. If you've ever felt stuck in growth, unsure how to convert your audience, or disconnected from the deeper “why” of your business, this episode is for you. I dive into why creating a niche, engaged community—not just a large audience—is the most sustainable path to long-term impact and income.

I also share the messaging strategies I use with my clients to build retention, deepen engagement, and create a brand experience that feels magnetic and meaningful.

Tyler Goss, from Tampa has two critical sales questions: 1) How do we achieve those "crazy" prospecting numbers I talk about in my books? 2) When should a lead become a pipeline opportunity? In this podcast I break down these answers in plain English. When to Create a Deal: Finding the Sweet Spot There's no shortage of opinions on when to create a deal in your CRM. Some sales leaders will tell you to create a deal before you even make the first call (ridiculous). Others won't let you create one until the contract is practically signed (equally absurd). Here's my take: Both extremes are problematic. You need a pipeline that gives you meaningful data. Here's how we handle this at Sales Gravy: For Inbound Leads: We categorize inbound leads into three distinct groups: 1. List Leads These are people who sign up for our newsletter or download basic resources where we only ask for a name and email address. They're joining our community, and while some may become customers down the road, they're not pipeline opportunities yet. 2. MQLs (Marketing Qualified Leads) These folks have given us more detailed information through webinars or content downloads. They've provided their phone number, email address, company, role, etc. There's an implicit understanding that we might reach out, but they haven't expressed a direct interest in buying. I don't want these in my pipeline yet. 3. Hot Leads These people come to us with their hands up, saying things like: "We've got a team of nine and want to do sales training" or "Our SKO is in February, and we want to hire Jeb. How much does he cost?" These leads have an open buying window and go straight into the pipeline. We'll close 95% of these because they've already self-identified as buyers. For Outbound Prospecting: When prospecting outbound we only put opportunities into the pipeline after the prospect has agreed to a first time appointment (FTA). Here's why: First-time appointments are your Money Ball metric – they indicate the health of your prospecting efforts. When an FTA is in your pipeline, you can measure critical data points like: Show/no-show rates by rep Advancement rates from FTA to next stages Conversion rates from FTA to closed business If I have a rep setting tons of FTAs with only a 10% show rate, I need to diagnose that problem. If another rep is advancing 50% of their FTAs to the next stage, that tells me something completely different. The qualification point is simple: both parties have agreed to step into the sales process. That's when it becomes a pipeline opportunity. Some organizations resist this approach because they only want "fully qualified" opportunities in their pipeline. I get it – but you're missing valuable data if you wait too long. Consider this example: If you work in an industry where everyone's under contract, and you know contract expiration dates, you might be tempted to automatically add prospects to your pipeline as their contract end dates approach. I wouldn't do that. Wait until you've had a conversation where they agree to meet with you to discuss options. That agreement to step into the process is your trigger. If you're putting everything into your pipeline, you're diluting your data. If you're waiting until deals are practically closed, why even have a pipeline? The sweet spot is somewhere in between – and for most B2B sales organizations, it's at the first-time appointment stage. Maximizing Prospecting Efficiency: How We Make So Many Calls Tyler also asked about those "crazy" prospecting numbers I mention in my books. How do my teams make hundreds of calls during designated call blocks? The answer boils down to three key principles: 1. Separate List Building from Prospecting Research and building lists is NOT prospecting. When we're prospecting, we're just chopping wood. We have our lists ready in advance, and when it's time to prospect, that's all we do.

In this episode of the I Love Coaching podcast, hosts Adam Roach and Jess Webber delve into the intricate relationship between pricing and value in the coaching industry. They discuss the common fears coaches face when setting their prices, the importance of confidence in articulating value, and how community and proximity can enhance a coach's worth. The conversation also touches on the psychological aspects of pricing, the impact of rejection on sales, and practical strategies for coaches to effectively price their services.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend author, podcaster, and former Episcopalian priest Andrew Petiprin to talk unpack one of the biggest misconceptions about the Catholic Church: that Catholicism is simply another Christian denomination. With aplomb, charity, and with Scripture and the history books in hand, Andrew explains exactly what's wrong with thinking of Catholicism as just another denomination, why that matters, and why it's abundantly clear from history and Scripture that the Catholic Church is unique in a sea of Christian choices.Plus, we unpack the danger of thinking of the Church as an institution, the notion of the "rules" of Catholicism, and so much more. For more from Andrew listen to his complete conversion story way back on Episode 69 of the podcast.You can find Andrew's book, Faith Unboxed at Catholic Answers or any fine bookseller.

SummaryPastor Campbell discusses the challenges faced by church kids, emphasizing the importance of true conversion and the dangers of entitlement and offense. He shares personal anecdotes and insights from others to illustrate how upbringing in the church can lead to a lack of appreciation for faith and community.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Personal Reflections01:32 The Challenge for Church Kids09:55 The Importance of True Conversion14:33 The Shift in Perspective20:45 Entitlement and Appreciation26:29 The Danger of Offense32:04 The Father's Heart vs. The Elder Brother's Heart34:29 Processing Life's Challenges36:42 Conclusion and Call to ActionTakeawaysThe challenge for church kids is often conformity without true conversion.Many church kids know the language of faith but lack a personal relationship with God.True conversion involves a heart change, not just outward behavior.Church kids can feel entitled and may not appreciate the value of their upbringing.Experiencing life outside the church can provide perspective on its value.Offenses can be inherited from parents and must be dealt with individually.Living in the Father's house does not guarantee having the Father's heart.Processing life's challenges is essential for spiritual growth and maturity.Church kids have the potential to change the world if they embrace their faith.Conversion comes with a price and requires a commitment to God.Show NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the wounds to the unity of Christ's one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church. The Catechism emphasizes that people on both sides of this division are to blame for this broken unity. God did not intend for the disunity of Chrstians that we see today, but rather, intended for the unity of all Christians. Fr. Mike, therefore, concludes with asking us to pray and hope for the miracle of the unity, once again, of all Christians. Today's readings from the Catechism are paragraphs 817-822. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
