Jase offers a painfully funny account of a pre-dawn mishap that leaves his family jewels in serious jeopardy and the rest of the room somewhere between laughing and wincing. Al celebrates turning 61 and reflects on feeling healthier than ever—even as Jase's story proves that the margin for error gets slimmer with age. The guys lay out an overview of 1 John, as well as an account of John's remarkable life. They also dig into why the early church had to defend the truth that Jesus really appeared in the flesh, not as an idea or symbol, but as a living, tangible person.  In this episode: Proverbs 6, verses 26–29; John 20, verses 30–31; 1 Timothy 3, verse 16; John 17, verses 20–26; 1 John 1-5 “Unashamed” Episode 1242 is sponsored by: https://chministries.org/unashamed — See why Christians are ditching health insurance for good.

The fastest way to kill momentum in business is scaling before you are ready. We learned that the hard way. For a long time, we thought growth meant doing more. Hiring faster. Adding systems. Spending money to buy speed. What we didn't realize was that piling more on top of a shaky foundation doesn't create momentum. It quietly bleeds it. This episode is a candid look back at what the past year actually taught us. Not the highlight reel, but the moments where things felt like they were moving forward until the numbers told a different story. We talk about where we scaled too early, the investments that didn't pay off, and how chasing growth almost cost us focus, profit, and clarity. We also break down what changed everything. Slowing down. Cutting complexity. Doubling down on what was already working instead of chasing the next shiny tactic. The real unlock wasn't more effort. It was better decisions. You'll hear how we're thinking about money, time, and energy heading into 2026, the filters we're using before making new investments, and how simplifying the business has created more leverage than any new system ever did. If you're building a business, investing in real estate, or trying to scale anything while juggling real life, this episode will help you spot where momentum leaks actually come from and how to fix them before they get expensive.

Willard and Dibs join Steiny and Guru on a Tuesday edition of the Crossover. The guys react to last night's Warriors loss to the Clippers, the officiating that marred the fourth quarter of that game, and more.

Leading others doesn't begin with a title—it begins with self-leadership. Too many men chase influence, authority, or recognition before they've learned how to lead themselves. That's where imposter syndrome creeps in—of course you're not as good yet; leadership isn't a destination, it's a discipline. It's not just tactical execution or getting things done—it's service, responsibility, and the relentless pursuit of getting better. Leadership at home, leadership with your kids, leadership over your own habits and standards. In this episode, I talk with leadership expert, Kipp Sorensen. Today, we break down the three traps of self-leadership that quietly sabotage men: the Victim, the Persecutor, and the Rescuer, the dark side of influence, how to get your own wishes and desires met, how to be aware of "polite manipulation," and why honoring agency (yourself and others) is the key to leading well.

Zach sits down with couples therapist and author Colette Jane Fehr and her husband Steve Fehr for a candid conversation about second marriage, difference, repair, and what therapy really does—and doesn't—solve. Colette and Steve met later in life after very different first marriages and divorces. She's an emotionally expressive, extroverted therapist from New York; he's a reserved, analytical CPA from Kentucky. On paper, they couldn't be more different—but from their first night talking for hours at a diner, something clicked. They talk openly about blending families with four teenage daughters, the strain that season put on their marriage, and how therapy became not a last resort but an ongoing resource. Steve reflects on learning—slowly—to speak up before resentment builds, while Colette names her own pattern of over-explaining and chasing understanding when she feels disconnected. The conversation explores how repair actually works in real marriages: who apologizes first, why pauses matter, how shame gets in the way, and why growth is measured in years—not moments. They also share what they're navigating now: demanding careers, a major book launch, and the need to reinvest in their relationship after a season of borrowing against it. This episode is an honest look at what long-term partnership looks like when both people stay willing to learn, practice, and keep showing up—imperfectly. Key Takeaways Therapy isn't a referee – Real change happens when each person does their own work, not when someone “wins.” Quiet creates distance – Avoiding small conversations leads to resentment and emotional shutdown. Pausing prevents damage – Taking space can be protective when emotions run hot. Repair matters more than perfection – Apologies don't require total agreement—just ownership. Different nervous systems need different timing – One partner may need space while the other seeks immediate connection. Growth is gradual – Being better than five years ago counts—and so does staying open to future growth. Relationships require reinvestment – Work seasons drain connection unless time and intention are restored.

This week’s Pulm PEEPs Pearls episode is a focused discussion between Furf and Monty about non-pharmacologic techniques for airway clearance in the non-Cystic Fibrosis bronchiectasis population. This is a focused, high-yield discussion of the key points about airway clearance, including practical tips and a discussion of the evidence. This episode was prepared in conjunction with George Doumat MD. Goerge is an internal medicine resident at UT Southwestern and joined us for a Pulm PEEPs – BMJ Thorax journal club episode. He is now acting as a Pulm PEEPs Editor for the Pulm PEEPs Pearls series. Key Learning Points 1) Why airway clearance matters in non-CF bronchiectasis Non-CF bronchiectasis is defined by irreversible bronchial dilation with impaired mucociliary clearance, leading to mucus retention. Retained sputum drives the classic vicious cycle: mucus → infection → neutrophilic inflammation → airway damage → worse clearance. Airway clearance techniques (ACTs) are meant to interrupt this cycle, primarily by improving mucus mobilization and symptom control. 2) What ACTs are trying to achieve clinically Main benefits are: More effective sputum clearance Reduced cough/dyspnea burden Improved activity tolerance and quality of life Effects on spirometry are usually small. Exacerbation reduction is possible, but evidence is mixed—some longer-term data suggest benefit for specific techniques. 3) The main ACT “families” and when to use them Breathing-based techniques (device-free, flexible) ACBT (Active Cycle of Breathing Technique): breath control → deep breaths with holds → huffing. Pros: portable, adaptable, good first-line option. Key requirement: teaching/coaching to get technique right. Autogenic drainage: controlled breathing at different lung volumes to move mucus from peripheral → central airways. Pros: no device, can work well once learned. Cons: more technically demanding, needs training and practice. PEP / Oscillatory PEP (stents airways + “vibrates” mucus loose) PEP: back-pressure helps prevent small airway collapse during exhalation; often paired with huff/cough. Oscillatory PEP (Flutter/Acapella/Aerobika): adds oscillation that many patients find easy and satisfying to use. Good fit for: people who benefit from airway stenting, want something portable, and prefer a device. Mechanical/manual techniques (help when patient can't self-clear well) HFCWO (“the vest”): external chest wall oscillation; helpful for high sputum volumes, dexterity limits, or difficulty coordinating breathing maneuvers. Postural drainage/percussion/vibration: caregiver/therapist-assisted options; still useful but consider: GERD/reflux risk with certain positions Hemoptysis risk with vigorous techniques 4) How to choose the “right” technique (the practical framework) There is no one-size-fits-all. Match the tool to the patient: Sputum burden (volume/viscosity) Strength, coordination, cognition, dexterity Comorbidities (GERD, hemoptysis history, severe obstruction/airway collapse) Lifestyle + portability (what they'll actually do) Cost/access and availability of respiratory therapy/physio support A key mindset from the script: this is not a lifetime contract—reassess and adjust over time with shared decision-making. 5) Evidence takeaways (what improves, what doesn't) ACTs reliably improve sputum expectoration and often symptoms/QoL. QoL/cough scores (e.g., SGRQ, LCQ) tend to improve modestly, particularly with oscillatory PEP and some vest studies. Lung function: typically minimal change; occasional short-term FEV₁ benefit is reported in some vest trials. Exacerbations: mixed overall; the script highlights a longer-term RCT of ELTGOL showing fewer exacerbations at 12 months vs placebo exercises. Safety: generally excellent; main cautions are hemoptysis and reflux (depending on technique/positioning). 6) Special population pearls Hemoptysis / fragile airways: start with gentle breathing-based ACTs (ACBT, controlled huffing); avoid overly vigorous oscillatory/manual methods if concerned. Severe obstruction or early airway collapse: PEP/oscillatory PEP can help by keeping small airways open on exhalation. Mobility/coordination barriers: consider HFCWO vest or simple oscillatory PEP devices to enable daily adherence. During exacerbations: keep it simple—1–2 reliable techniques, prioritize daily consistency, and re-check technique. 7) The “real” bottom line Start with simple, self-manageable options (often ACBT ± PEP). The “best” ACT is the one the patient will do consistently. Reassess technique and fit over time; education and demonstration are part of the therapy.

Steve is joined by Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a wide-ranging New Year conversation about setting big goals and the real challenges of running a business, where too often you're putting out fires instead of building for the future. They look ahead to 2026, reflect on the strength of Trump's winning economy, then shift to a troubling story of a grocery store collecting biometric data, scanning faces and eyes, and tracking what you buy.

Brian From reflects on a deeply personal parenting moment as his children head out on mission trips, exploring the bittersweet reality of releasing them into independence. Drawing lessons from sports heartbreak, he examines how public failure can feel defining—but why, in Christ, our worst moments do not get the final word. The episode closes with a thoughtful challenge to hustle culture, questioning whether nonstop work is something to admire, and inviting listeners to consider healthier rhythms rooted in grace, rest, and identity rather than achievement.

The Money Deep Dive: Loans, Leverage, and the Cost of Day ZeroEpisode Summary: Happy New Year! We are officially in 2026, and we are kicking off the year with a masterclass in startup finance. To celebrate our recent win as Course Karma's 2025 Best Facebook Group for Business Management, we are diving straight into the "Day Zero" realities of Dr. Toni Torres and Bloom Dental Co.In this episode, Toni pulls back the curtain on the phase before the lease is signed. We explore the terrifying transition from being an associate to asking a bank for nearly a million dollars. If you have ever wondered how to negotiate with lenders, what insurance you actually need, or how to survive the first 90 days of "insurance lag," this episode is your tactical manual.Time-Stamped Highlights[11:20] – Dental School Doesn't Prepare You for This [12:30] – The First Phone Call: The Rep Connection [14:10] – Approval Before the Search The golden rule of startups: Do not look for a location until you know your budget. Toni explains why she prioritized the loan approval process to understand her square footage limits and avoid "exhausting" herself looking at locations she couldn't afford.[15:45] – Interviewing the Banks: How to Negotiate Terms Toni interviewed four different banks. She breaks down the "vibe check" of lenders and how she used a competing 14-year loan proposal to negotiate her preferred lender's monthly payments in half.[18:30] – Specialized Lenders vs. Big Banks A look at the difference between general banks and medical/dental specific lenders. Why specialized lenders understand the "insane" overhead of dentistry (plumbing, compressors, $130k CAD/CAM setups) that general business lenders might not.[20:10] – The Collateral and the Spouse's Role The weight of the "Personal Guarantee." Toni discusses signing for the loan with her husband, putting their home and investments on the line, and the emotional pressure of having a partner who fully believes in your vision.[22:00] – The Insurance Quadrant: Four Pillars of Protection Lenders won't release funds without these.

Today, Paul M. Neuberger grabs hold of a truth the world keeps trying to stuff in the closet—public prayer isn't polite, it's powerful. When believers bow their heads and call on Jesus in public, it shakes the enemy's grip, rattles the chains of fear, and stakes a flag for Christ where darkness wants dominion.Cost? It's guaranteed. Criticism, awkward silences, HR emails, pushback. But comfort isn't our mission—obedience is.Scripture says it best: “Am I now trying to win the approval of man, or of God?” (Galatians 1:10). Jesus is still Lord—boardroom to breakroom, lunch table to locker room.So the question remains: What will YOU do when the world says “sit down, stay silent”? Will you pray louder?Buckle up. This one's raw, real, and rooted in truth.Episode Highlights:02:03 - Culture did. And here's the uncomfortable truth that we're going to have to confront today. If prayer were powerless, no one would care whether you did it publicly or not. The resistance itself proves the power. So today, we're going to tear down the lies, expose the fear, confront the compromise, and reclaim. Prayer is what it's always been, a public declaration of dependence on God and defiance against darkness.10:13 - When prayer is removed from public life, faith slowly retreats from decision making, from culture, shaping from influence. Christians didn't stop believing in prayer. They stopped believing that it was worth being seen. And that's exactly where the enemy wants us. The pressure to keep faith private is rarely announced, rarely written down, and rarely enforced directly. That's what makes it so effective. It operates in side glances, awkward pauses, corporate language, and cultural assumptions that never have to be spoken out loud.30:33 - It says fear doesn't come from God and therefore does not have authority over you. Fear is a signal, not a command. The enemy wants believers to interpret fear as wisdom. Maybe this isn't the right moment. Maybe someone else should do it. Maybe silence is the loving thing. But fear dressed up as wisdom is still fear. And obedience delayed by fear is obedience denied.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite

What's actually happening to the church in America and why does it matter beyond Sunday morning? In this episode I'm joined by Ryan Burge, a social scientist who studies religion in the U.S. and brings long-term data, charts, and lived pastoral experience into a conversation often driven by fear or nostalgia. We discuss his book The Vanishing Church, the quiet decline of the moderate church, the rise of polarization inside Christianity, and how broader cultural tribalism has reshaped faith communities. We also explore the growth of the religious “nones,” why church closures are happening steadily but largely unnoticed, and what's lost when the church can no longer function as a space where people learn how to live together across difference.Ryan Burge is professor of practice at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis. Before that he was an associate professor of political science at Eastern Illinois University, and was also the graduate coordinator. He has authored over thirty peer-reviewed articles and book chapters alongside four books about religion and politics in the United States. He has written for the New York Times, POLITICO, and the Wall Street Journal. He has also appeared in an NBC Documentary, on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, as well as 60 Minutes which called him, “one of the country's leading data analysts on religion and politics.” He served as a pastor in the American Baptist Church for over twenty years, leading First Baptist Church of Mount Vernon, IL for 17.5 years until its closure in July 2024. He has been married to his wife Jacqueline for over seventeen years. They have two boys.Ryan's Book:The Vanishing ChurchRyan's Recommendation:DominionConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

You know what to do. Do you turn away or step forward? Sometimes the easiest choice is to stay comfortable. This teaching explores two responses to being guided—one shaped by avoidance, the other by attention—and how choosing comfort can quietly cost us more than we expect.  POD 283 1 Samuel 3.

In corporate finance, we often focus on balance sheets, cash flow, and NPV. However, there is an "invisible factor" that dictates whether those numbers hold up: Corporate Culture. While it doesn't have a line item, culture acts as either a precision tool for financial discipline or a toxic liability that destroys enterprise value.In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, hear how to move culture from the HR office to finance, exploring how trust, psychological safety, and accountability translate into hard dollars and cents.The 4 Financial Levers of CultureA strong culture isn't just about "feeling good" it's a performance multiplier that impacts the bottom line through four direct channels:Productivity & Execution: High-trust cultures move with incredible velocity. By cutting through bureaucratic "sign-off" layers and blame-avoidance, high-trust teams can reduce decision cycle times by up to 40%, accelerating time-to-market.Decision-Making Quality: Healthy cultures encourage "robust debate." When employees feel safe to voice concerns (Psychological Safety), leadership avoids the catastrophic blind spots that lead to failed mergers or flawed product launches.Cost of Human Capital: Employee turnover is a massive recurring expense. Replacing an employee can cost 50% to 150% of their salary, but the hidden costs—lost institutional knowledge and training dips—are even higher.Risk Management & Compliance: Fear-based cultures suppress bad news. A culture that encourages surfacing risks early lowers the company's risk profile, directly reducing the Cost of Capital (the interest rates you pay) demanded by lenders.Culture in Strategy: Accuracy, Discipline, and InnovationCulture fundamentally changes how a company executes its financial planning and growth:Forecast Accuracy: Transparent cultures provide cleaner, earlier data. Surfacing a risk is rewarded, leading to fewer "end-of-quarter" surprises.Cost Discipline: Cultures of high accountability drive Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB), moving away from "entitlement spending."Innovation: Real innovation requires the safety to fail. If failure is punished, employees only pursue safe, incremental ideas, stifling disruptive growth.Resilience: During market shocks, trust enables rapid cost-cutting and resource reallocation that low-trust competitors cannot match.Case Studies: Triumphs and TragediesNetflix (Success): Their "Freedom & Responsibility" model enabled massive capital shifts from DVDs to streaming via extreme strategic agility.Google (Success): Psychological safety powers an R&D engine that prunes failing projects early, saving billions in "sunk costs."WeWork (Failure): A culture of unchecked exuberance ignored financial controls, erasing tens of billions in paper value.Theranos (Failure): Suppression of dissent led to massive misstatements and total corporate obliteration.The Finance Professional's Cultural DashboardFinance teams should track cultural health using these granular data indicators:Turnover by Function: High churn in Internal Audit or Compliance is a massive red flag. Forecasting Behavior: Are teams "padding" budgets to create easy beats? This is a symptom of low trust. Project Delivery Metrics: Consistent delays in cross-functional handoffs often signal a collaboration problem, not a funding one. Ethical Indicators: Spikes in whistleblower reports or audit findings are leading indicators of catastrophic financial risk.

High in the Cordillera Huayhuash Reserve of the Peruvian Andes, two British climbers attempt the first ascent of the West Face of Siula Grande. The mountain is remote, unforgiving, and lethal to mistakes. After reaching the summit, a catastrophic accident during the descent forces a decision that places survival and death on opposite ends of a single rope.

Gerard Parvilus and his wife had been married for two years and shared a young son. Both were members of the U.S. Air Force and were stationed at Holloman AFB. But by 2007, their marriage was unraveling. The couple separated geographically, each taking short overseas tours. She went to Kuwait. He went to South Korea. During that separation, Gerard's wife asked for a divorce. Then she admitted something else: while deployed, she had met another man. That confession alone was devastating. But it wasn't the end of it. She later revealed that she had become pregnant by her lover, Pierre Smith, and terminated the pregnancy after returning to New Mexico.  The fallout from that confession was immediate. Gerard spiraled. He then went AWOL from Kunsan Air Base. What happened next would leave one man dead, shock everyone involved, and ultimately reshape New Mexico law. Dig in with Margot as she unpacks this love-triangle murder case involving a dual-military couple, an affair, an AWOL airman, two kidnappings, and a legal precedent that still stands today. ⸻

Welcome to the final episode in the 7-part RESET IN 20 series.

It's about reclaiming your agency and choosing what thoughts get access to your lighthouse.Whether you're burned out, uncertain, or just need a reminder of who you are, this episode equips you with a simple but profound way to come back to center and protect what matters most.This isn't just a reset, it's a revival of your inner guard.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why unchecked thoughts become mental prisonsThe difference between reaction vs. response (and why it matters)How to build your “medicine cabinet” of mindset toolsWhat Jim Rohn, Mike Tyson, and Stephen Furtick all have in common (hint: perspective)Why strategy fails without perspective and how to avoid that trapA live, behind-the-scenes window into how George rebuilds from adversity Key Takeaways:✔️Stand guard at your lighthouse: Protect your mind, heart, and perspective like your life depends on it, because it does.✔️Perspective is the difference between power and prison. You can have the right strategy, but the wrong mindset will sabotage it.✔️Choose to respond, not react. Your past does not deserve to lead your present.✔️Build your mental “medicine cabinet.” Fill it with the tools, books, videos, and reminders that bring you back to center.✔️Clarity doesn't come from chaos. Emotional spirals don't lead to solutions, presence does.✔️Community matters. Surround yourself with a triage team who can remind you who you are when you forget.✔️You only lose when you quit.

In this episode of The Westminster Podcast, Nate Shannon speaks from Istanbul with Göksel Erdoğdu, the first—and so far only—graduate of Westminster Theological Seminary from Turkey. Göksel shares his remarkable personal story as a second-generation Christian in a predominantly Muslim context, recounting how the gospel first came to his family amid social pressure, cultural shame, and political instability. From his upbringing in the Turkish church to his theological formation at Westminster, Göksel reflects on God's faithfulness in sustaining both faith and witness across generations. The conversation explores the present state of the church in Turkey, including the legal challenges facing Protestant congregations, the need for sound theological resources, and the growing hunger among younger believers for serious engagement with Scripture. Göksel also describes his current ministry work as a pastor, publisher, and translator, and explains how Westminster's emphasis on biblical foundations, apologetics, and cultural engagement has shaped his approach to ministry in a Muslim context. The episode concludes with a call to prayer and partnership, inviting listeners to consider how God may be at work in Turkey—and how the global church can faithfully support that work.

Don and Steve are back with another round of Business & Bullsh*t, where real entrepreneurs break down wins, screwups, and what actually moves the needle, without the corporate fluff.It starts with a simple question. What is the most you would ever pay for a cup of coffee?That question gets real when a café in Dubai offers a $980 cup made from rare Nido 7 Geisha beans, with only 400 cups available worldwide. Absurd, or brilliant?From there, the conversation opens up into a deeper look at business reinvention, brand fatigue, and the real cost of change. Don and Steve unpack Panera's return to its “apex,” focusing on value, menu refreshes, and the decision to prioritize food over flashy tech. That leads into a broader discussion about innovation versus human connection, and what brands risk losing when they chase trends instead of trust.

Megan Rudolph talks about her career journey; developing a team through hypergrowth; the challenges & opportunities for parcel in 2026; & finding inspiration.    IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [02.15] An introduction to Megan and Saddle Creek Logistics Services. [03.00] Megan's early career dream of sports journalism, how graduating during the recession led her to take a sales job at UPS, and what she found so fascinating about logistics. "There was a great structure. I worked under multiple female leaders – some of the people that probably don't even know how much they mentored me still impact me today." [05.31] How having the opportunity to wear many different hats helped Megan find her niche, what she learned from her time working for both UPS and DHL, and the experience that led her to discover the power of authenticity. [10.36] A day in Megan's life as the regional senior director of parcel operations at Saddle Creek Logistics Services. "There was an opportunity for me to delegate more, and that was tough for me… But, as the team grew, bringing in people I could trust really got me away from 12 meetings a day, and I got a more balanced workload... My team manages up very well, and I'm thankful for that!" [13.07] How Megan successfully grew her department through 'hypergrowth,' and her advice for other leaders looking to supercharge their own teams in 2026. "One of the best things that served me was hiring a diverse group of people that balanced my skillset. I'm pretty risk averse, data-centric, I want to have all the questions solved before we even hit go. So I needed individuals that were great at solving while in action…. Don't hire people that think like you." [16.00] Megan's perspective on the parcel industry, and the big challenges and opportunities she's thinking about for 2026. "Cost continues to increase year over year, for us and our clients. So the only way to really drive savings is through optimization." [19.26] What Megan loves about the industry. [21.01] Megan's experience as a woman in the industry, how she learned to trust her instincts and speak up, and why she's so passionate about starting conversations and opening up perspectives. [26.17] What being an industry trailblazer means to Megan, and how she's using it to empower others. [28.05] Megan's biggest inspirations in her life and career. [29.56] The future for Megan.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   You can connect with Megan over on LinkedIn.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer delivers a powerful solo message on what it truly takes to become the best version of yourself in 2026. Drawing from a decade of personal growth, leadership, and faith-driven refinement, Justin challenges the idea that transformation comes from doing more—and instead reveals why lasting change comes from doing the right things. He unpacks the difference between survival and identity, exposing why most people don't lack ambition or goals, but alignment, capacity, and character. This episode serves as a wake-up call to stop outsourcing responsibility and start intentionally becoming who you were created to be.Episode Highlights● Radical Ownership: Ownership isn't blame or shame—it's truth without defense. Transformation begins the moment you fully own your rhythms, decisions, and patterns. ● Relief vs. Change: Most people don't actually want transformation; they want relief. Ownership forces you to confront what your life is revealing about you. ● Obsessive Obedience: Growth requires radical obedience to both God and wise mentorship. Stillness, listening, and accountability unlock direction and clarity. ● The Power of Alignment: Alignment occurs when values, behaviors, schedule, and body are no longer at war with each other. Alignment must come before assignment. ● Character Before Calling: God won't bless what your character can't sustain. Capacity is built through intentional obedience and alignment over time.Action Steps● Ask yourself: “Am I becoming who I'm called to be—or just getting better at surviving?” ● Practice radical ownership by identifying one daily pattern that's working against the future version of you. ● Create stillness each day—five minutes of silence to listen before you act. ● Identify a mentor who is aligned in values, ahead of you in growth, and willing to hold you accountable. ● Audit your calendar: does it reflect what you say matters most? ● Before saying yes, ask: “Does this decision support the future version of me?” ● Choose alignment over speed—clarity, peace, and power follow obedience.Chapters00:00 Introduction — Becoming the Best Version of You in 2026 01:30 Survival vs. Identity 03:00 Why Information Doesn't Create Transformation 04:45 Radical Ownership Defined 06:00 Patterns, Responsibility, and Personal Power 07:45 The Dangerous Prayer for Character 09:15 Obsessive Obedience Explained 11:00 Stillness, Listening, and God's Direction 12:45 The Role of Mentorship and Accountability 14:30 Alignment Before Assignment 16:15 Values, Calendars, and Contradictions 18:00 Misalignment, Fatigue, and Compromise 19:45 Asking Better Questions Through Alignment 21:30 The Cost—and Reward—of Alignment 23:30 Ownership, Obedience, and Alignment in Practice 25:00 Closing Challenge — Choosing Who You're Becoming===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

In this message from the book of Philemon, Pastor Josh Slautterback explores the powerful and often challenging call to forgiveness. Through the story of Philemon and Onesimus, we see how unforgiveness can keep us trapped behind emotional and spiritual fences—much like prisoners who remained in POW camps even after freedom was declared. Paul's appeal to Philemon reveals that forgiveness is not just a spiritual ideal, but a practical, costly, and freeing act of love. This sermon walks through three essential steps to forgiveness—releasing the offense, redeeming the relationship, and remembering the grace we've received—while exposing how bitterness, when left unchecked, takes root and spreads. Ultimately, this message calls us to live in the freedom Christ offers, become peacemakers in broken relationships, and extend the same grace we have been given.

In Episode 282 of the Pool Nation Podcast, Edgar breaks down why financial clarity—not activity—is what actually creates control in your pool business. If you've ever felt stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure why your business feels heavy even when it's growing, this episode will hit home. Edgar explains the illusion of control that many pool pros live in and walks through the three numbers every pool business owner must know to build a stable, profitable operation: Average rate per pool • Cost per pool • Net margin This episode is designed specifically for January, when pool businesses finally have breathing room to slow down, think clearly, and make intentional decisions before the busy season hits. Edgar shares real-world lessons from his own journey—from running routes himself to scaling a business—and explains why avoiding your numbers doesn't eliminate problems, it only delays them. If you're serious about building a pool business that pays you, protects you, and doesn't rely on constant hustle to survive, this episode will help you reset how you think about money, growth, and leadership in 2026.
