Nothing can be certainly concluded concerning the nature of religious affections, that the relations persons give of them, are very affecting. The true saints have not such a spirit of discerning, that they can certainly determine who are godly, and who are not. For though they know experimentally what true religion is, in the internal exercises of it, yet these are what they can neither feel nor see, in the heart of another.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Eighteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 412The Saint of the day is Saint Teresa Benedicta of the CrossSaint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross' Story A brilliant philosopher who stopped believing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila that she began a spiritual journey that led to her baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Saint Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau, Germany—now Wroclaw, Poland—Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology–an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Husserl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922, when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her appointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis. After living for four years in the Cologne Carmel, Sister Teresa Benedicta moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands, in 1938. The Nazis occupied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta of the Cross in 1987 and canonized her 12 years later. Reflection The writings of Edith Stein fill 17 volumes, many of which have been translated into English. A woman of integrity, she followed the truth wherever it led her. After becoming a Catholic, Edith continued to honor her mother's Jewish faith. Sister Josephine Koeppel, O.C.D., translator of several of Edith's books, sums up this saint with the phrase, “Learn to live at God's hands.” Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross is a Patron Saint of: Converts to ChristianityEurope Learn more about Saint Benedicta of the Cross!

This week on VOMAus Radio, we hear part two of the interview with Carter Gates, leader of VOM USA's work in the Asia/Pacific Region. Some Christians in Malaysia—ethnically Chinese or Indian believers—have freedom to practise their faith. But if an ethnic Malay person becomes a believer in Jesus, he or she will face intense Christian persecution. As Carter meets with VOM's ministry partners, one shared key hindrances that keep Malays from following Christ and the questions he uses as he engages them in gospel conversation. One of those questions: are you ready to die for Jesus? We'll also share an update on the court case over the forced disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh in 2017. A verdict is expected in the case in November.

Some Christians in Malaysia—ethnically Chinese or Indian believers—have freedom to practice their faith in Christ. But if an ethnic Malay person becomes a believer in Jesus, he or she will face intense Christian persecution. The Malaysian government sees ethnic Malay people as off limits for evangelism and holds them subject to Islamic Shariah law. “To be Malay is to be Muslim,” says Carter Gates, leader of VOM's international ministry work in Asia/Pacific. “Ethnic Malay's can't even [openly] say they are interested in learning more about Jesus.” As Carter meets with VOM's ministry partners, one shared key hindrances that keep Malays from following Christ and the questions he uses as he engages them in gospel conversation. One of those questions: are you ready to die for Jesus? Gates says he was challenged as he thought about evangelism in free nations versus in Malaysia, Laos, Vietnam, China and other restricted areas and hostile nations. “This pastor is in a context where he knows what [sacrifice] means,” Carter says. “We should consider these costs in America too.” We'll also share an update on the court case over the forced disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh in 2017. A verdict is expected in the case in November. Listen to what Susanna Koh shared during her first visit with VOM Radio about how she and her family struggled after her husband's abduction. She also shares how the Lord helped her to forgive those who persecuted her husband. Please pray for truth to be revealed through this legal process and pray for the Koh family as they await the verdict. The VOM App for your smartphone or tablet will help you pray daily for persecuted Christians—in Iran and other nations—throughout the year, as well as provide free access to e-books, audiobooks, video content and feature films.

Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Start with a Sales Audit: Get a clear picture of how your team communicates, qualifies leads, and follows up—this diagnostic is the foundation for smarter strategy. Reignite Past Opportunities: Don't ignore old leads. Revisit past prospects with improved messaging and a consistent follow-up process to uncover hidden revenue.

Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Don't Over-Propose, Qualify More: Most businesses jump to proposals too fast. Spend more time understanding the prospect's real pain before pitching a solution.

Track Activity, Not Just Results: Monitor sales activities like calls, meetings, and outreach—not just revenue—to catch issues early and keep your pipeline healthy. One action small business owners can take: According to Harriet Mellor, one action small business owners can take is to implement a structured follow-up process after every sales conversation—by setting the next meeting before ending the current one, they can maintain momentum and avoid losing warm leads.

it. It may be observed, that the more excellent any thing is, the more will be the counterfeits of it. Thus there are many more counterfeits of silver and gold, than of iron and copper: there are many false diamonds and rubies, but who goes about to counterfeit common stones? Though the more excellent things are, the more difficult it is to make any thing like them, in their essential nature and internal virtue; yet the more manifold will the counterfeits be, and the more will art and subtlety be exercised and displayed, in an exact imitation of the outward appearance.

What if the secret to skyrocketing your sales had nothing to do with tactics and everything to do with trust?  In this episode, Kevin Thompson sits down with Ari Galper, the world's number one authority on trust-based selling and founder of the Unlock The Game methodology. Ari shares a powerful, real-life story of betrayal during a sales meeting that transformed his approach and led to the creation of a heart-centered sales movement focused on trust, not pressure. For over 20 years, Ari has helped coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs eliminate rejection and stop chasing prospects by building trust from the very first conversation.  Ari is the author of seven best-selling books and a recognized thought leader featured in CEO Magazine, Forbes, Inc., and Financial Advisor Magazine. He is also the CEO and founder of AriAI, a 24/7 trust-based selling growth partner that acts as a “third brain” in your business, embedding trust into every conversation and decision. In this episode, Ari also honors his son Toby, who has Down Syndrome, as the inspiration behind his heart-first philosophy that's reshaping how business is done.   [00:00 - 02:30] The Origin Story: From Betrayal to Breakthrough • Ari recounts a sales call 20 years ago where, after accidentally hitting mute, he overheard prospects say, “Keep using him for more info, then buy cheaper.” • This moment exposed a fundamental dysfunction in selling and launched his mission to transform the sales process into one focused on truth and trust. [02:31 - 06:30] What Trust-Based Selling Means • Ari describes creating Unlock The Game, a trust-based selling approach that flipped traditional sales on its head. • Explains why ghosting happens, not because of the solution but because people don't trust your process. • Highlights that chasing prospects is a symptom of lacking trust. [06:31 - 12:00] Language That Builds Trust, Not Pressure • Why you should never use the word “follow-up.” • Replace it with, “Do you have any feedback on our last conversation?” • Shows how language either pressures people or invites the truth, changing the entire dynamic of the relationship. [12:01 - 18:30] Shifting from Pitching to Diagnosing • Ari unpacks his Doctor Framework, telling you to stop rapport-building chatter and start by exploring their problems deeply. • Offers questions like, “How long has this been a concern for you?” and “What have you done so far to address this?” • Emphasizes that trust is built when they feel truly understood, not when you start prescribing solutions. [18:31 - 24:30] Real Results: Why Trust Works • Ari shares examples from clients in high-ticket, long sales cycle industries who stopped chasing and started closing quickly. • Explains how leading with trust gets people to say, “How can you help me?” which flips the traditional sales script. [24:31 - 33:48] Honoring Influences and Lessons from Toby • Ari honors Dan Kennedy and Perry Marshall for shaping his understanding of marketing and systems. • Opens up about his son Toby, who has Down Syndrome, and how Toby taught him to be present, love without agenda, and lead with empathy. • “People don't want your pitch.

Ever wonder why some podcasters get zero results from their content… while others effortlessly turn listeners into paying customers? This one thing increases your chances significantly! Today we sit down with the legendary Alex Sanfilippo to crack the code on podcast calls-to-action that actually convert. This session was streamed during Podcasting Made simple (a Podmatch event) in front of more than 1,000 people and the feedback was incredible! We are very grateful that Alex and their team are letting us share this private episode :) We're pulling back the curtain on: - The “Six Steps” that make ANY CTA irresistible (not just for podcasts!) - Wild case studies and real-life mistakes most hosts and guests make (and how to avoid them) - The power of keeping it simple, specific, AND sticky - The surprising thing you should NOT ask for at the end of your episode - Why Fonzi believes “short and sticky” wins every time (and what on earth Taylor Swift has to do with podcasting…) Whether you're struggling to convert listeners or just want to refine your strategy, this episode is packed with practical insights to help you drive traffic, grow your audience, and monetize your content effectively! Enjoy! Timestamped Overview: [00:00] Alex intros the special PodMatch Event and sets the stage for discussing powerful podcast CTAs. [02:30] Luis & Fonzi join in — sharing background on how this framework was developed and why most CTAs fail. [04:30] Why “no results” from podcasting usually isn't a content problem — it's a CTA problem. [06:10] Step 0: Develop Know, Like & Trust on the episode — give away real value, don't hold back. [10:15] Step 1: Keep your CTA singular — don't overwhelm your listeners with too many options. [11:35] Step 2: Make it relevant — your CTA must match the content of the episode. [13:40] Step 3: Ensure it's evergreen — so it doesn't expire or confuse future listeners. [17:05] Step 4: Keep it simple to understand — clarity > cleverness. Use “It's like…” analogies. [20:30] Step 5: Make it easy to follow — sticky domains, memorable URLs, or SMS options. [23:55] Test creative ideas: surprise CTAs at the end of episodes, gamification, secret codes. [25:00] Sticky examples: funny URLs, dynamic insertion intros, and Taylor Swift-style rollouts (!). [27:20] Step 6: CTA destination should add value immediately — don't gate everything behind an opt-in. [30:45] Optimize the experience post-CTA: what happens after someone clicks matters. [33:30] Every CTA should reflect your business stage and goals — make it strategic. [34:10] The Biz Bros share details on launching their new community: BusinessCreator.Club.

I started working as a content marketer at a digital agency, and I stayed there for about four years. While I was there, started to kind of dip my toes into copywriting, and that's when I realized, hey, this is a lot of fun. I really like doing this, but I didn't really get into it until I broke off to do my own thing. So that was about four and a half years ago that I, you know, became freelance, and I started to Basically to learn everything I possibly could about copywriting. I went through copy school, which I'm not sure if you'll are familiar with that, but basically the most comprehensive copywriting training on the internet today. Got certified in a bunch of their courses, read as much as I could about marketing and psychology and copywriting. And yeah, they just started putting everything into practice, working with clients. Over the last two years, I started working more and more with law firms in particular, and that work felt really meaningful to me. I really enjoyed it, and I felt like I was making a positive impact by helping those firms. So that's why I decided to specialize in legal marketing.   Lindsey: And so how did you end up working with PPC ads and landing pages for PPC ads?   Mary: Yeah, so I had one client in particular that we worked on a Google ads campaign for him, and we got some... Amazing results. And I felt like, you know what, there's, as I looked at more and more PC campaigns, I was like, there's a lot that I can do to help optimize these campaigns to help these firms bring in more qualified leads. And we can talk about that a little bit more later, some of the biggest mistakes I see. But yeah, I saw a lot of room for opportunity there. And it's something I really enjoy doing is kind of digging through that data and, you know, figuring out, okay, what can we do to bring in not only more clicks, but more, you know, qualified leads. And yeah.   Lindsey: And PPC is so complicated. And you're right, there are so many things that can go wrong with it.

The church is designed to be a gospel-centered community where believers live in authentic, loving relationships rooted in humility, accountability, and discipleship. Rather than simply attending services, Christians are called to live out their faith daily in fellowship, service, and mutual support. The guys point out that even within the church, many still experience deep loneliness, often because church has become more about performance than connection. True accountability means being both known and loved—helping one another grow into Christlikeness with grace rather than judgment. The guys emphasize that discipleship is not just about sharing information but about sharing life, inviting others into your everyday rhythms and walking together in faith. A healthy biblical community practices redemptive discipline, offers forgiveness, and fosters unity among people who might otherwise be divided but are now bound together by Christ. When believers open their hearts and homes, speak into each other's lives, and share a common vision for reaching the lost, the church becomes the vibrant, transformative community it was always meant to be.Send us a textThanks for listening!
