Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!Markus Watson and Tod Bolsinger unpack the fascinating connection between the Latin roots of “prayer” and “precarious”—suggesting that it's often in our most uncertain moments that we're drawn into deeper dependence on God. Together, they explore how precarious situations not only shape our leadership but also form and mature our prayer lives. You'll also hear practical wisdom on leading others in prayer through times of change and how discernment, rather than just asking God to bless our plans, is central to a healthy approach to leadership.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Jeff Hoffmeyer in Ep. 246: Have We Forgotten to Pray?:"The Latin word for prayer is the same root for ‘precarious'. So, I think when we're in a precarious situation, God's desire is that we'll be driven to dependence on prayer."THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Leaders cultivate their prayer lives in the midst of precarious situations.Leaders experience spiritual formation when they become aware of their dependence on God.Leaders guide their congregations into discernment by seeking God's voice together.Leaders model a deep prayer life by honestly acknowledging their limitations.Leaders resist making plans independently and instead invite God to direct their path.Click HERE to get my FREE online course, BECOMING LEADERS OF SHALOM.

Send us a textThank God I Don't Fit In – God's Upside-Down Selection ProcessHave you ever felt like you don't quite fit in? Maybe that's not a flaw—it's your calling.In this bold and confronting episode, Reverend Ben Cooper takes us deep into 1 Corinthians 1:26–31, where the Apostle Paul describes a kingdom where God chooses the foolish, the weak, the lowly, and even the despised to shame the wise and powerful. This is more than encouragement for the underdog—it's a wake-up call to a generation shaped by credentials, conformity, and cultural approval.With raw conviction and prophetic clarity, Pastor Ben challenges the Church to examine how deeply it has mirrored the world's systems. “We are being led by CV people,” he declares, “not by theologians, not by evangelists, and not by Holy Spirit-filled pastors.” This message pulls no punches as it questions the motives behind how Christian leaders are chosen and how spiritual maturity is often overshadowed by polished résumés.Drawing attention to the gravitational pull of “the crowd,” Ben dives into the dangers of spiritual and cultural conformity. Whether it's in church culture, social media, or the workplace, the call to fit in is strong—but God's call is often the exact opposite. Using real-life examples and scripture, he exposes how crowd-pleasing leads to spiritual compromise and warns that the cost of following Jesus often means being misunderstood, rejected, or overlooked.But the power of this message isn't in the critique—it's in the revelation of God's upside-down kingdom. What the world considers a weakness may be your divine qualification. Your background, brokenness, or lack of influence may be the very reason God can use you. “Thank God I don't fit in,” Pastor Ben proclaims, boldly embracing the role of the misfit, the outlier, the one set apart.Whether you've felt unqualified, too different, or spiritually sidelined, this message will awaken purpose in your perceived imperfections. Join us for this truth-filled journey into God's radical method of choosing people, and learn how to stand strong in a world that demands you conform.1 Corinthians 1:26–31 – God chooses the foolish to shame the wise, the weak to shame the strong

In this powerful and timely message, Pastor Travis Greene reminds us that the mission of a true disciple is not just to be connected to a church—but to make meaningful connections outside of it. Drawing from Mark 1:40–45 and the Great Commission in Matthew 28, Pastor Travis breaks down the 3 C's of Going Outside: Capacity, Compassion, and Courage.Jesus didn't just wait for people to come to Him—He went out. He touched the untouchable. He loved the unlovable. And He did it with purpose and power. This sermon is a call to action for every believer to live out our faith boldly in the world, not just within the four walls of the church.

Send us a textWhat happens when you've spent your whole life thinking your heart condition was "fixed," only to discover it's actually a lifelong journey? Elle Pendrick shares this profound revelation that came after her fourth open-heart surgery, forever changing how she understood her congenital heart disease.Born in 1983 with complex CHD in rural Australia, Elle's early years were defined by long journeys to Sydney for medical care. Growing up as the only person with a serious cardiac condition in her small town of Wagga Wagga created an isolating experience—one that shaped her understanding of her own health. The shocking realization at age 21 that her heart disease was not cured but rather a lifelong companion became a turning point in her identity and purpose.Elle takes us through her remarkable transition from viewing CHD as something to hide to embracing it as part of her story. Her evolution into advocacy work led her to help develop Australia's groundbreaking Standards of Care for Childhood Onset Heart Disease, which includes world-first mental health and neurodevelopmental standards. This unified approach shows how Australia's tight-knit CHD community has created comprehensive care models that focus on whole-person wellness rather than just cardiac function.The conversation explores fascinating comparisons between Australian and American healthcare systems, drawing from Elle's recent visit to the United States. Her insights reveal how different funding models, advocacy approaches, and support organizations shape patient experiences despite serving the same medical needs. Elle's perspective offers valuable lessons for anyone interested in healthcare policy and patient advocacy.Most powerfully, Elle describes transforming her medical journey into resources for others. Her book "Your Ultimate Surgery Success Guide" and her platform "Adulting Well" address practical challenges faced by those with chronic conditions—from workplace conversations and financial planning to mental health support. By sharing her expertise on navigating healthcare systems, Elle demonstrates how lived experience becomes a powerful tool for helping others.Join us for this inspirational conversation about resilience, advocacy, and finding purpose through personal challenge. If you're facing a chronic health condition or supporting someone who is, Elle's wisdom offers both practical guidance and heartfelt encouragement.Global ARCH's leadership training opportunity: https://global-arch.org/advocacy-training/ Elle's Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCV2TCQZElle's Website: https://www.adultingwell.au/Elle's Blog: https://www.adultingwell.au/BlogElle's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adultingwell/Support the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite

Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
Scholars of the Apostle Paul have long debated the so-called center of Paul's theology, focusing on themes like justification by faith, reconciliation, union with Christ, and the apocalyptic triumph of God in Christ. But what if love really is the heart of the gospel that he preached?In this episode of the Attaching to God podcast, we welcome Nijay Gupta, the Julius R. Manti Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary, to discuss his new book The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology.

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Nayeema Raza, creator and host of the newly launched podcast Smart Girl, Dumb Questions. With a background spanning global consulting, documentary storytelling and top-charting podcasts, Nayeema decided it was time to create something entirely her own. In this episode, she shares how a childhood shaped by constant change made her comfortable with reinvention, and why staying still has always felt more foreign than starting over. For Nayeema, comfort has never been the goal. It's the cue that it's time to move on. Her path has been guided less by long-term plans and more by instinct: when something starts feeling too safe, that's her “clue to unlock the next thing.”She opens up about what drew her to launch a show built on curiosity, and why asking the “dumb” questions out loud matters more than ever. We talk about what it means to redefine ambition on your own terms, the pressure of being both the business and the brand, and the surprising freedom that can come from a failed milestone. Whether it was ending a long-term relationship, starting over in New York at 31, or launching a podcast from scratch, Nayeema's path proves that reinvention isn't just possible, it can be joyful, curious and entirely your own.From navigating the realities of running her own show to reshaping what mastery looks like, Nayeema is creating a space where not knowing isn't a weakness, it's the starting point. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the smartest thing you can do is ask the question everyone else is too afraid to say out loud. Thank you for listening!

With the exception of Chris's podcast who you may have seen, no one else shows up on coaching calls on a weekly basis more than Juan. He's done so for 9 years in this glorious conscious community. Growing, expanding, healing, yes... and yet not experiencing a big Quantum Leap non-linear jump...yet. That was until two things happened: the first was I offered my 7-week Become the One Mastery $1,997 program complimentary to all my current clients and Juan showed up for virtually every call. There he had a massive breakthrough explaining so many of his previous challenges. The second piece was that I invited him, an architect in training with two exams still to go, to speak to a long-term architect, a woman in my inner circle. I'm so grateful for her because she had no prior knowledge of Juan's history and simply told him to get his ass to the annual retreat, this year in Mexico. She provided a perspective that I hadn't considered, that it had been 20 years since graduation for Juan to get his exams done. What was the holdup? Create a situation for a breakthrough! Go to the retreat! This was the magical combination that unlocked his Soul's trajectory, the need to heal the trauma that revealed itself in Become the One Mastery mixed with going beyond his comfort zone showing up with 17 people in an Intimacy Retreat, a transformational portal. I'm so grateful for my inner circle client's sass because I've been consistent reliable encouraging challenging but not like she was, an in your face sacred demand for a breakthrough! It literally took both of our energies bookending this man to get his ass on a plane and join us in Cancun and man, did he ever have a breakthrough! And what a huge contribution he was to the event:-) In this podcast we talked about his long-term Journey with feeling unseen and unmet by his father, romantic relationships that didn't value his worth, striving to be somebody he wasn't... and now how he's become so self-reliant, confident and fully self expressed that he'll go to a club alone, listen to live music and chat up anyone! He's learning that the big guardian angel that has his back, is him! He's savoring moments dancing in the kitchen with his mom:-) In Mexico he even chatted up two gorgeous bikini-clad gals from Argentina! Juan's heart is the size of Jupiter, his desire to create glorious homes for clients to enjoy is inspiring. His willingness to start his own business and give his gifts to the world is his Soul's contract. I know a solid heart-centered relationship is around the corner for him and I admire how he's savoring each step along the journey of getting his exams finished and living with his mom while he blesses our beautiful community. We Champion him every step of the way! I can barely express the exuberance my heart felt being able to hug him in person for the first time after seeing him every week on Zoom for close to a decade. I lost my shit!!!! In the best of ways :-) he's my soul brother. He is soul family. Pinching myself for the blessing of walking with him as he evolves into his best self. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Tom sits down with entrepreneur and venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale for a thought-provoking conversation about American resilience, defense innovation, and the values shaping our future. Joe shares his journey from grappling with the ethics of building defense technology at Palantir to championing a new wave of patriot-driven innovation at Anduril. Together, Tom and Joe tackle tough questions—like the morality of maximum lethality, the changing threats facing the West, and how America can regain its competitive and cultural edge in a rapidly shifting world. Joe doesn't shy away from controversy, offering candid insights into the dangers of “suicidal empathy,” the rise of China, and why internal dysfunction poses as great a risk as any foreign adversary. They dig deep into how to instill a culture of excellence—both in business and government—discussing what it takes to bring back courage, merit, and strong leadership in institutions. Along the way, Joe draws on personal stories, shares lessons from leaders he admires, and explains why developing advanced manufacturing and AI are crucial to safeguarding the country's future.
