Director by 35 was the plan. Now every missed milestone feels like proof that something's wrong with you. Map your path to Director https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrRe3O8KHSQ Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SWNwlHy9w5c I asked MIT engineer and CTO Mark Herschberg how often a project ends up exactly the way it was planned on day one. His answer was near zero. Scope shifts, a CEO changes direction six months in, and sometimes the whole thing gets cancelled because there's better ROI somewhere else. Nobody calls that team failures, but when your career plan slips, you call yourself one. A career plan should work like a project plan. It's clear for the next few weeks, fuzzy further out, and adjusted as you learn. A missed milestone is often a trade-off you made on purpose, like refusing to spend three years kissing the ring of a boss you couldn't stand. Most of Mark's career-planning questions aren't about work at all. They're about family, where you want to live, and the impact you want to have. In this episode: why a master's degree won't get you promoted, how ten minutes of negotiating can be worth $40,000, how to build a peer group that practices leadership the way athletes scrimmage, and the fantasy chess question that helps you work backward from where you want to be.

Without courage, our lives fall apart. Our society, our world falls apart. Selfishness and all the wickedness in the world that flows from it, is impossible to overcome without courage.In this fourth episode of the five-part series, Ryan Gilmore and Jonathan Winn explore courage as one of Oak Grove Classical Academy's four core virtues. They discuss why courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to face fear and difficulty with a clear vision of what is true and good, and why courage is essential for growth, learning, and pursuing truth. The episode also considers how parents and educators can cultivate courage by modeling it, pointing students toward Scripture and stories of courageous people, and helping them learn to do what is right even when it is difficult.https://www.oakgroveclassical.com/https://www.instagram.com/oakgroveclassicalacademy/https://www.facebook.com/OakGroveClassical/https://naumsinc.org/ https://classicalchristian.org/

How many women are waiting for the right moment to pursue an ambition they already know they're capable of?This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/HR leadership often demands compromise. In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day sits down with Stanislava Susla, CEO of XperienceHR, who stepped into the role while four months pregnant and refused to choose between ambition, motherhood, and building a global payroll technology company. From her NGO work supporting Ukrainian refugees to scaling a mission-driven business, Stanislava brings a rare, deeply personal perspective on what it really takes to lead, grow, and show up fully without false choices.Together, Nick and Stanislava unpack why so many parents, mothers especially, wait for the "right time" to chase their goals, and why that wait is so often driven by fear rather than a genuine lack of readiness.This conversation unpacks how Stanislava normalized working through pregnancy and early motherhood, and why focus and efficiency often sharpen rather than suffer under real constraints. Nick and Stanislava also discuss the difference between fear and wisdom in decision-making, and why quality time, not quantity of time, forms the real foundation of confident parenting.They also explore how psychological safety and honest feedback shape company culture, and why manipulation has no place in modern leadership. The discussion highlights the importance of boundaries between work and family life, and what separates healthy leadership from unhealthy leadership in both business and the wider world.In an era where ambition and caregiving are still too often treated as competing identities, this episode examines what it actually takes for working parents, and mothers in particular, to build both a career and a family without sacrificing either.A must-listen for HR leaders, working parents, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever waited for the "right time" to pursue something they already know they're capable of doing.Enjoyed this?

What if “the other side” doesn't look anything like you thought it would?This week, Joe L and Lauren Barnes turn the tables and interview Rita about hearing God, prophetic words, obedience, suffering, spiritual comparison, and the story behind her upcoming record, The Other Side.Rita opens up about the danger of speaking too quickly when you believe God has said something—but also the cost of staying silent because you're afraid of getting it wrong. Together, they wrestle with why Christians can become obsessed with someone else's “oil,” whether we sometimes romanticize the wilderness, and why following Jesus was never a promise that life would become easy.Sometimes the other side isn't a change in circumstances. Sometimes it's discovering that Jesus is still Jesus in the middle of them.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------00:00 Intro01:14 Welcome + Turning the Tables on Rita05:10 How Rita, Joel & Lauren Met07:19 The Prophetic Word That Changed Their Story12:06 From Friendship to Family14:12 Finding the Courage to Hear & Obey God16:40 The Missionary, the Car & the Cost of Hesitation23:15 What Happens When People Don't Obey?26:33 When It Feels Like God Didn't Show Up27:40 From Fed by Ravens to The Other Side30:17 The Other Side Is a Mindset Shift32:53 Are We Selling the Wrong Gospel?35:15 The Unseen Battles Behind the “Oil”36:48 Recognizing Jesus in the Distance40:09 Revival, Repentance & the Wilderness42:53 Don't Chase the Wilderness for the Oil47:22 You Don't Know What Their Calling Cost48:16 Stop Comparing Your Calling to Someone Else's51:22 What Are You Actually Called to Carry?53:26 Find Your Own Fragrance55:55 The Light at the End of the Tunnel1:00:32 Can You Be Disappointed and Still Be Faithful?1:02:40 What Does Contentment Really Mean?1:04:44 The Story Behind “The Other Side”1:06:25 What the New Record Will Sound Like1:08:19 “I Just Want to Know Him More”If you're enjoying the show, please rate and review!Follow Rita on ALL Social Media: https://linktr.ee/ritaspringerIf you would like to support the Worship Is My Weapon podcast you can donate to Wearing Justice at https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=0f0e22b...
Ever wonder what it takes to earn the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award before you're 50? In this episode, Steve sits down with Jake Rademacher, for a story-filled conversation about courage, commitment, authenticity, service, and what it means to make the hard choices that move us toward a life that feels like our own. Jake traces his journey from walking away from a promising path in business to pursuing acting and filmmaking, eventually risking everything to tell the story of his brothers serving in Iraq. What began with a borrowed camera and an idea no one wanted to fund ultimately took Jake into a war zone, where he learned firsthand that courage isn't necessarily something we have before taking a leap- it can be something we build by continually choosing the next difficult step. The conversation also explores how Jake's understanding of courage has evolved. Today, it is less about putting himself in dangerous situations and more about having the vulnerability to ask difficult questions, hold space for someone else's story, and follow a conversation wherever it needs to go. Through his work and in partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation to support families impacted by war, Jake has learned how authenticity, curiosity, and connection can create opportunities for people to confront experiences they may have carried silently for years. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why some of Jake's greatest periods of growth began with failure or loss How an award-winning film began with a leap of faith, a borrowed camera, and total commitment Why courage is something we can build one difficult decision at a time How vulnerability, curiosity, and difficult questions can create deeper human connection Why being honest about where you're stuck can help you move toward a more authentic life Listen now and ask yourself: Your time is limited- what do you want to do with it? About the guest: Jake Rademacher is the Founder and President of Metanoia Films and Perseverance Productions. Between 2005 and 2007, Jake risked everything, including his life, to tell the story of his brothers serving in Iraq, filming the award-winning feature documentary Brothers at War. The film was released in theaters across America, premiered on Showtime, and was later released around the world. Jake then created the Brothers at War Resiliency Workshops, which have been conducted for more than 60,000 Service Members and their Families. With Gary Sinise returning as Executive Producer, Jake directed and produced the award-winning Brothers After War and currently leads a team conducting 45 events annually. Jake has also written, directed, and produced numerous commercials and short films. He is a recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the Distinguished Education Award from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Soaring Eagle Award from the National Veterans Day Foundation, and the Distinguished Service Award from The Caucus of Producers, Writers, and Directors. He is an honorary Colonel in the Oklahoma National Guard, a Canon Chasing the Light Filmmaker, a member of the Directors Guild of America, and a SAG-AFTRA member. As a performer, he has appeared in numerous theatrical productions and films and narrated hundreds of documentary series and commercials. He graduated cum laude with a degree in English from the University of Notre Dame and studied playwriting and drama at Trinity College Dublin. He lives in Los Angeles, where he is a dedicated father to his two children, Josie and Noel.

What draws us to stories of soldiers and first responders isn't the action — it's the courage. The willingness to face something genuinely frightening and keep doing the job. And every one of those people, at their best, is an echo of the original: the one who looked at what freedom for humanity would cost and said it is finished — because he paid it in full.Paul opens Galatians 5 with a declaration and a command: it is for freedom that Christ has set you free — stand firm. Don't let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Maintaining freedom requires something. It requires the same thing every courageous person in history has needed: the willingness to face fear and act anyway. Freedom isn't a passive state you arrive at. It's something you hold onto actively, against real opposition.What that looks like for most people isn't a battlefield — it's the moment you refuse to complicate a simple faith. A SEAL team in Afghanistan let a goat-herding kid go rather than violate their core value of protecting the innocent, even knowing it would cost them. It did. That's what it looks like to stick with the truth when everything in you wants to make an exception. And in Karachi, a businessman commissioned a 150-foot cross in the middle of a city where being Christian is genuinely dangerous, simply because he believed it. The question worth sitting with is: where does your faith require that kind of courage — and are you finding it?Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

Where in your life right now does holding onto your faith require the most courage? Are you finding it — or are you avoiding it?2. The SEAL team did the right thing knowing it would cost them everything. Have you ever stuck with the truth when you knew it would cost you? What happened?3. "It is for freedom that Christ has set you free — stand firm." What does standing firm look like practically in your specific situation this week?
The best way to overcome the fear that keeps you stuck is by taking action, even if you are uncertain or afraid. In this episode of “Strong Mind, Strong Body,” licensed therapist and wellness expert Angie Miller dives into why people remain in uncomfortable or unfulfilling situations and how you can break through hesitation to make meaningful changes. Drawing inspiration from the book "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry," Angie explains how our brains are naturally wired to fear loss and prioritize safety, which often keeps us from making decisions that could improve our lives. You will learn how loss aversion and negativity bias influence your choices and how to build self-trust by taking small, actionable steps forward. Angie also discusses how your decisions impact not only you but the people around you, and why resistance from close others is a normal reaction to your growth. By listening, you will have practical tools to recognize your patterns, reflect on the real costs of staying stuck, and identify the first step you can take to create positive change in your life, both emotionally and physically. Chapters: 00:00 What makes people afraid to leave their comfort zones, and how do you move past fear? 04:02 Why is adapting to change different from choosing it? 07:07 What mental processes keep us stuck when we want to change? 10:34 What are the hidden costs of staying in an uncomfortable situation?12:16 How do small actions start the process of big change? 14:16 Why do doubts and discomfort make us question our decisions? 16:03 How do you build self-trust and take action without certainty? 20:29 Are sudden life changes really impulsive or do they build up over time? 23:03 How can you clarify your motivation for change and take the first step?24:04 How do your personal changes affect the people closest to you? 27:12 Why does meeting new people help you see yourself differently? 29:16 What role does support from others play when you lack self-belief?30:36 How can you start making changes, even when you overthink?

What if growing in your career doesn't require choosing between ambition and humility? In this special BOLDLY Breakout Spotlight episode of the Moving Forward Podcast, Melissa Harrison sits down with Ellie Nieves, a leadership coach, public policy professional, and author of The Career Playbook for Christian Women, for a practical conversation about pursuing professional growth while remaining grounded in faith. Ellie shares that becoming a Christian didn't make her ambition disappear. Instead, it invited her to examine what was driving it. As she explains, "He wasn't calling me to be less ambitious, he was asking me to filter my ambition through my faith." That shift helped her see career growth as an opportunity to use her gifts, serve others, and glorify God. For the woman considering a bigger role or a new opportunity, Ellie offers encouragement: you don't have to know everything before taking a step forward. Recognize the experience you already bring and trust your ability to learn. She also explores how remembering God's purpose for your presence in the workplace can help you respond to feelings of inadequacy. The conversation becomes personal as Ellie recalls a season when she and her husband were both laid off shortly after moving into a new home. While the uncertainty was real, that season also strengthened their marriage and gave her the vision to launch her coaching business. She encourages women navigating setbacks to make room for grief, reflection, and prayer—and to ask God what He would have them do next. Ellie also challenges the assumption that excellent work will always speak for itself. Communicating your contributions can be done with humility. She shares a simple practice: keep a record of accomplishments and positive feedback so you can clearly explain both your work and its impact. Together, Melissa and Ellie explore how influence develops through credibility, meaningful relationships, and an understanding of how an organization works. Ellie explains the difference between mentors who offer guidance and sponsors who advocate for opportunities—and why following through on advice helps build trust. This conversation is about becoming more intentional in your career: bringing your ambitions before God, recognizing the value you contribute, and taking your next step with faith and confidence. In this episode, we get into: Bring your ambition before God. Examine your motives and pursue growth from a place of purpose. Communicate your value with humility. Keep track of your accomplishments and share the impact of your work. Influence grows through relationships and credibility. Build meaningful connections, seek guidance, and follow through. Ellie also shares how community has supported her through the responsibilities of work, leadership, and caring for an aging parent. Through 4word's Executive Women's Forum in San Diego and the DC executive cohort, she has found space to rest, receive encouragement, and connect with women navigating similar experiences. For the woman who feels stuck, Ellie recommends beginning with quiet reflection: sit with your Bible and a journal, invite God into the process, and ask what one step you can take. Her encouragement is clear: "She doesn't have to sit on the sidelines of her own career." 4word is excited to welcome Ellie to BOLDLY this October in Dallas, where her breakout session will explore building influence and navigating workplace dynamics from a godly perspective.

This episode explores the balance between solitude, good company, and independent judgment.Hume and Seneca both saw value in stepping away to think clearly, then returning to relationships that strengthen character and enrich life.The danger is not society itself, but surrendering our judgment to the crowd and mistaking popularity for wisdom.If you'd like to practice these principles, this Micro Morning Meditation will be helpful:☀️ Micro Morning Meditation: Do You Value Both Solitude and Company?https://whatisstoicism.substack.com/p/micro-morning-meditation-do-you-value Hosted on Acast.

Hello to you listening wherever your feet touch the ground. Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Everywhere in the world women are living their lives unrecorded. What's up with that? What's the use of unrecorded lives? What are we afraid will happen if we put pen to paper to set down one memory moment of our lived experience? If we had the courage to venture into the depth of inquiry that guides a nice essay to a memorable story, what unexpected magic, freedom, or self-understanding might happen next? The depth of inquiry into our personal narratives moves even the best essays away from a nice recounting of facts and events and what happened to what did it all mean? There's more to your story than facts and events. Our stories become memorable when we deeply explore our lived experience, become curious about our motivations, what was at stake, the choices we made, the risks we took, and then reflect on how those experiences earned us a hard-won lesson. To get started recording a lived memory moment experience you recall—maybe the first job you ever had or the first time you stood up for yourself—set down the time, place and setting of the facts and events as you remember them. Next, capture highlights of the character (that would be you), who she was, how she was living her life, and why we might care about her. What was the event that upended her daily routine and set her up to want something different for herself? What was the problem that got in the way of what she wanted and how did she overcome it? Now we're embarking on the depth of inquiry. We focus our attention on the character's underlying emotions, feelings, fears, doubts, struggles, and values. These personal truths help us understand the meaning of what has happened when her routine was upended, what was at stake for her, and why she chooses to do what she does to get what she so keenly desires, come what may. When we dig deep into our lived experiences by asking difficult questions, refusing to accept our initial reactions, and allowing the story to lead us, we transform surface answers into self-awareness, self-understanding, and self-affirmation. With this first step we have begun to live a recorded life. What was the experience like for you? What is your next story?

For Ivory Mathews, affordable housing has always been personal. Growing up housing insecure in rural South Carolina shaped not only her career, but the kind of leader she chose to become. In this episode, Beth Baar talks with Ivory about lessons collected through more than three decades in affordable housing and leading housing authorities across the country: choosing courage over comfort, listening deeply before acting, telling the truth to build trust, turning losses into learning opportunities and remembering that leadership is never about being the smartest person in the room. Ivory also shares why the little girl she once was still walks into every boardroom with her, and why women should stop waiting until they feel perfectly ready to take their seat at the table. Since this conversation was recorded, it was announced that Ivory has been named the next Executive Director of the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh, beginning October 1. Congratulations to Ivory on this exciting next chapter!
The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga explores a provocative idea: much of our unhappiness comes from living according to other people's expectations. Drawing on Adlerian psychology, the book asks what might change if we stopped seeking approval, accepted responsibility for our choices, and found the courage to live on our own terms.Please email your thoughts to penpositive@gmail.com and connect with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinodn/On Social MediaPenPositive YouTube Channel @PenPositive Instagram at @penpositiveMy Professional Blog: https://penpositive.comMy Personal Blog: https://vinodnarayan.com/
What does courage look like when there is no guarantee that a decision will work?In this fifth video essay from She Leads the Way: What Women Leaders Teach Us About the Leadership Higher Education Needs Now, Melissa Morriss-Olson draws from conversations with five women leaders who made consequential choices without the comfort of certainty.Kate Smith recalls the night she stood alone after speaking up at a campus forum. Carol Christ describes moving forward with plans to build student housing on People's Park at Berkeley despite intense opposition. Pat McGuire reflects on opening Trinity Washington University to students from the city'spublic schools, even as critics accused her of abandoning the institution's mission.Lisa Vollendorf shares what she learned while leading through devastating wildfires at Sonoma State University. Lori Carrell remembers leaving a safe and familiar teaching position, buying a truck, and driving the Alcan Highway alone toward an uncertain future.Their decisions were different, but they shared the same leadership discipline: moving before certainty arrived and accepting responsibility for what followed.At a time when higher education's old playbooks no longer provide reliable answers, waiting can feel prudent. But delay is also a decision, and sometimes it is the more dangerous one.Read the full essay, “Decide, Not Delay”:https://ingeniousleadership.org/Hear the full conversations:Kate SmithCarol ChristPatricia McGuireLisa VollendorfLori CarrellAs Melissa concludes:“Courage in higher education right now rarely looks like certainty. The old maps for a lot of these calls don't exist anymore, and waiting for one to appear is its own kind of choice, usually the wrong one.”Decide, not delay.She Leads the Way: What Women Leaders Teach Us About the Leadership Higher Education Needs Now is coming soon from IngenioUs Leadership Press and will be available on Amazon.About the seriesShe Leads the Way brings together ideas and voices from Melissa's conversations with more than thirty women presidents and senior leaders featured on the IngenioUs podcast.

What does healing ask of us when understanding our patterns is no longer enough? In this Integration Duo conversation, Gloria Lybecker and Gail Donohue gather the threads running through Episodes 348 to 351: healing as relationship and presence, the quiet ways healing itself can become another form of self-abandonment, the fear of disappointing others, and the courage to take the next honest step while fear and grief are still present. Together they explore the difference between understanding healing intellectually and living it relationally. Insight alone does not change a nervous system that learned belonging depended on being agreeable, helpful, quiet, and endlessly capable. What changes us is practice: noticing the moment we leave ourselves, meeting that moment without shame, and returning with honesty and care. That returning, again and again, is how self-trust is built. Gloria and Gail trace the four movements these episodes reveal, relationship and presence, recognizing self-abandonment, risking relational truth, and courageous aligned action, all held by one deeper question: Can I remain in relationship with myself here? Near the end, they offer a brief reflective practice with questions you can carry into your own life, including one small, honest, life-giving step you might take next. If you are somewhere between knowing your truth and living it, this conversation offers companionship for the next honest step.

Mike King started his career on patrol and SWAT with the Ogden City Police Department in Utah before becoming the lead investigator in the 1991 Zion Society case, involving a 120-member polygamist doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed prophet Arvin Shreeve. After a member came forward and revealed what was happening inside the group, Mike and his team launched a secret 24-day investigation that ended with coordinated raids on multiple homes, 32 children being removed from the group, and Shreeve and several members ultimately going to prison. Mike later led multi-agency task forces, served as Chief of Staff to the Utah Attorney General, trained in criminal profiling, and created Profiling Evil. _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP & HIMS for sponsoring this episode: Cash App: Download Cash App Today: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/6pao71et #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Political division is rampant. But what if courage, not just compromise, could help bring us back together? Marine Corps veteran and author Rye Barcott explores what we can learn from ten veterans who put principle ahead of party.
Courage is an essential companion every child of God needs in order to stand for the Lord and what is right. Without courage, we will certainly find ourselves cowering to the pressures of the world. In this sermon Brother Luke looks at the importance of courage and how to find it. 09.20.26.Courage.Luke.Hagler

From a 400-person room to a 1,000-person room to twelve chapters in two countries, in nine years, on a formula nobody wrote down.That is the middle chapter of the GEDfest story, and this is the episode about how it actually happened. GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest. It was born in Calgary shortly after Gord Downie passed away in 2017, and it is now the largest fundraiser in his memory in the country. The jump from one hometown night to a national organization did not happen because somebody drew up a plan. It happened because people kept walking up and asking how they could help.Julie Johnson was in the audience on night one while Keith was on the drum stool, which means she saw something he could not see from up there. A woman came up to her in that tiny bar and started talking about a Canadian art gallery and all the images The Tragically Hip put into people's heads, and whether there was room for that next year. That was the first sign. There have been a lot of them since. This episode is Julie, Keith, Jaime McNichol, and Darcy McLeod trying to name the exact moment the snowball stopped needing to be pushed.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• Keith's confession about 'Courage'. It is not the confession you are expecting from a man who runs a Gord Downie tribute festival, and the night it changed is very specific.• Julie on the one thing you cannot do if you want to scale something like this. It is the opposite of what most organizations try.• The 2020 GEDfest. Masks, social distancing, two shows in one day, a capacity cut to the bone, and Dave Harris singing from inside a phone booth. Then the thing the host said afterward that opened the door to every chapter that followed.• Darcy on the green room at the Blind Beggar, and why beers that arrive without you asking are a bigger deal to a working band than they sound.• Jaime went to her first GEDfest in 2021 carrying something heavy, and found that a room full of people singing was the thing that helped. She says it plainly here.• Three different people give three different answers for when the tipping point was. One of them says the Palace. One says it was the moment a stranger in Kelowna described a night they had never attended, exactly.• The hip tribute band in the Netherlands who reached out, and the language barrier standing between them and a chapter.• How Neil got Edmonton, and how a guy from Manulife got Kelowna. Neither one involves a job posting.• Keith on the secret sauce, which is a two-word answer and is not the music.THE PANEL• Keith Dyck, co-founder of GEDfest and the drummer in Trickle Down, from Calgary. Reads 'the present' in "The Never Ending Present" as a double entendre, which is a level of thinking jD readily admits is above his pay grade.• Julie Johnson, founder of GEDfest, from Calgary. Keith's wife, and the one who was standing in the crowd the first night. Went way off the board with 'Fight' as her current favourite, and had a reason at the ready.• Jaime McNichol, GEDfest director, from Calgary. Julie's parents live next door, which is how she heard about a band called Trickle Down in the first place. Missed the first one because of the weather and has never quite gotten over it. Did three GEDfests last year.• Darcy McLeod of DC and The Struggle, from Calgary. Opener, after-party act, ambassador, and self-described jack of all trades. Came to The Hip through a friend in junior high who put on 'New Orleans Is Sinking' and was, in his words, the coolest cat.GEDFEST 2026GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest, and in its ninth year it runs in twelve chapters across Canada and, for the first time, in the United States. Every chapter picks a cause in its own community and raises money for it. Find your city at gedfest.ca. jD runs the Toronto chapter, playing the Horseshoe Tavern on Saturday, October 17, with Grace, 2 on stage, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Fear often shows up whenever life asks us to grow. This meditation gently helps loosen the grip of uncertainty, ease anxiety, and strengthen your trust in the unfolding path ahead. You don't need all the answers to take the next step. Love,
IntroductionWhat happens to your sense of self when the earthly roles you play, mother, professional, spouse, suddenly shift, fail, or disappear entirely? In this lesson, we will explore the liberating shift from asking "Who am I?" based on temporary labels, to discovering "Whose I am" in Christ.Here is what you will discover in this episode:Realize the danger of "pigeonholing" your self-worth into temporary earthly roles.Learn how life disruptions can reveal hidden "identity holes" and how to heal them.Understand your standing as an adopted child of God through key biblical scriptures.Shift your mindset from a lonely "it's just me" attitude to a confident "I belong to the Father" reality.My Story: A Wake-Up Call in a London ChurchRecently, I found myself wrestling with a deep, unsettling question: Who am I?It all started during a church service in London back in 2023. A new member was introduced who shared my last name and came from my home country. I felt a sudden rush of excitement thinking we might be related. But just as quickly, a painful thought hit me like a physical blow: How could you be related? You don't even know who your father is.Even though I was 63 years old and didn't "need" a father in my daily life, that moment revealed a massive, unhealed identity hole. It made me realize how easily our sense of self can shatter. We often build our entire identities on what we do or who we are related to. As the Scripture tells us:"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." — Proverbs 23:7When our earthly connections or roles crack, our entire foundation can fall apart. Let's explore how we can build an identity that can never be shaken.Why Earthly Labels Place a Limit on Your PotentialWhen someone asks who you are, what is your go-to answer? Do you say, "I'm a mom," "I'm a writer," or "I'm a secretary"? While these roles are wonderful, tying your identity solely to them is incredibly limiting.If your identity is tied to your marriage, what happens if that marriage ends in divorce? If your identity is tied to your career, what happens if you lose your job? When I was laid off from my Wall Street job in the middle of a massive financial crisis in New York City, everyone expected me to panic. But I didn't. Why? Because my identity was never tied to my job title.When we define ourselves strictly by our circumstances, we easily fall into a lonely, defensive mindset of "me, myself, and I." We start asking ourselves fearful questions like: If I don't earn this money, who will? Who will help me make these hard decisions? Who takes care of me when I'm exhausted?By framing our life as "it's just me against the world," we limit our options and block ourselves from receiving divine help.Finding My Identity in ChristThe real game-changer in my life was shifting my devotion from my temporary labels to Christ. That is where we answer the deeper question: Whose am I?Here are the powerful truths that define who you are in His eyes:"But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God." — John 1:12"See how very much our father loves us for he calls us his children and that is what we are." — 1 John 3:1"For all who are led by the spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you receive God's spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him Abba father." — Romans 8:14-15When my husband left me to raise our two- and four-year-old sons on my own, I had to learn how to rely on God as a literal partner. I co-parented with Him. He gave me wisdom for hard decisions, provided rent when money was tight, and filled my home with peace. Because I understood whose I was, I knew I was never truly alone.Think of it this way: If your own child is thirsty, they don't knock hesitantly on your door; they burst right in because they belong to you. You are their parent, and you naturally care for them first. God does the same for us as His children.

Bring the tissues for this one. ❤️ We sit down with the incredible people behind the now Emmy-winning short documentary “The Last Gift: Jim's Courage, Our Hope”—a beautiful, heartbreaking, and deeply inspiring story about one man's extraordinary final gift to HIV research. (The Last Gift Study) We talk about Jim's legacy, the remarkable strides being made in HIV/AIDS treatment and cure research, and the humanity behind the science. And THEN…director Ryan Neisz actually let us hold the Emmy!
