On the other side of the world lives Franziska Iseli. “Frankie”, as her friends call her, has built a life around chasing fear and turning it into freedom. The Swiss-born Australian entrepreneur has much in common with Ryan. She is a co-founder (Basic Bananas and Ocean Lovers), an author to a book about courage (The Courage Map) and an eternal optimist. Frankie joins Ryan to talk about what it means to live courage; not just write about it. She shares how a 12,000-kilometer motorcycle journey led to her book along with why she believes courage and curiosity belong together. She also opens up about conflict avoidance, kindness as a leadership tool, and how daily discomfort builds lasting confidence.

The Church today – in the West and the East – facesmany challenges, yet is called to a momentous mission – namely, the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As challenges mount for the Church, carrying out our mission proves difficult. Not only that, some of those tasked with leading the Church have proven soft or ill-prepared.The need for courageous spiritual leadership in today's Church is massive. But with too few of her leaders exhibiting these traits, what is the Church to do? Throw up our hands and pine away about better days? Absolutely not.Instead, Christians and churches must take steps to shore up our leadership gap. This requires us to lean upon the Spirit and the Word. There are also practical tips that can be applied to develop courageous Christian leaders for the days ahead.To speak to these important issues, Pastor Joel Wayne joins Andy on this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast. Joel shares helpful insights borne from his own experience leading churches and ministry efforts, both at home and abroad. Joel talks about the importance of partnership and strategic thinking, and also the simple willingness for leadersto pay a price if obedience to Christ so requires.If you find this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

The murder of Charlie Kirk has shaken both political and faith communities. It is fortunate that we interviewed Shirley Mullen a couple of months ago. We are glad to provide that interview now. She encourages us to take up the courageous middle in the midst of the kind of polarization that has led to this kind of violence. We are experiencing increased suspicion and animosity in our churches, our workplaces, and even our families. It has also led to a false sense that our options are limited to choosing only one side.When we look around us, we see people so extremely confident that they are absolutely right and that the opposition is not only absolutely wrong, but downright evil. Is there a better way? Are Christians called to be peacemakers and bridgebuilders? And can they do that without jettisoning our core convictions?Into the fray comes Dr. Shirley Mullen and her new book, Claiming the Courageous Middle: Daring to Live and Work Together for a More Hopeful Future (Baker Academic, 2024).Scroll down to learn more about Shirley Mullen.Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite app:Thanks for listening!Please share this podcast with your friends.

Pastor Luke talks about how the church in Antioch showed courage through their generosity of spirit. Scripture reading: Acts 11:19-30.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Michelle Schafer—a two-time restructuring survivor and career coach—to break down a practical playbook for navigating career transitions without burning out. We cover Michelle's three keys to career fulfillment (work that gives you energy, aligned company values, and non-negotiables), how to initiate effective career-development talks with your manager (even if support feels low), and realistic strategies to stabilize your mindset in a tough job market. If you're facing layoffs, quiet quitting, or decision fatigue, this episode gives you actionable, mental-health-aware steps you can use today.   About the guest  : Michelle Schafer is a career coach with 25+ years across HR, L&D, and community engagement. A two-time restructuring survivor, she's coached nearly 1,000 professionals to pivot into work they actually want, and she's the author of the upcoming Cultivating Career Growth: Navigating Transitions with Purpose (Feb 2025).   Key takeaways: The 3 keys to fulfillment: prioritize work that energizes you, company values that match yours (as demonstrated, not just stated), and personal non-negotiables like location flexibility. Energy is data: consistent end-of-day exhaustion signals misalignment—use it as an early warning to course-correct rather than push harder. Values in practice: assess how an organization shows its values with employees, customers, and partners; misalignment drives tension and disengagement. Own your growth: don't wait for annual reviews—book a 30-minute, stand-alone career conversation with an agenda (what you love, what drains you, where you want to grow, the support you need). When leadership isn't supportive:network internally (coffee chats, org charts, warm intros) and treat resistance as a values signal that it may be time to transition. Quiet quitting/quiet cracking: disengagement is a red flag for both employee and organization; psychologically safe dialogue can re-engage—or confirm it's time to move. Mindset in hard markets: job loss impacts mental health; separate hope from “toxic positivity.” Pair supportive self-talk with action (80% networking, 20% applying). The “Something Plan”: when stuck, do five minutes of something (walk, sunlight, read) to rebuild momentum. Take short, intentional breaks from the search and commit to a restart date to avoid losing traction.   How to connect with the guest  : LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelleschafercoaching/  Website:  https://mschafercoaching.ca/  Free offer #1: A free chapter from Michelle's book - sign up here: https://mschafercoaching.ca/cultivatingcareergrowth/  Order her book Cultivating Career Growth: Navigating Transitions with Purpose here: https://mschafercoaching.ca/cultivatingcareergrowth/  Free offer #2: Download the reflection tool Career Focus Framework here: https://mschafercoaching.ca/gain-clarity-and-confidence-in-your-job-search/  Email her here: michelle@mschafercoaching.ca Book a complimentary 30 min discovery call with Michelle here: https://calendly.com/coaching-with-michelle-schafer   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

3.  Magpie Breeding Causes Bird Substitution: Dallas the Dog Meets the Courageous Currawong Family Guest:Jeremy Zakis Dallas the dog was "absolutely dumbfounded" before dawn when he found a family of currawongs on the back lawn instead of his usual magpies. Currawongs are similar in size to magpies but resemble crows, retaining some white feathers. They appear to be substituting for the magpies, who are now dedicating more time to their nests during breeding season. Dallas eventually became accepting of the currawongs. These substitute birds are courageous, sometimes standing at the kitchen window looking in at eye level. Furthermore, the destructive cockatoos ("cockies"), known for stripping pine trees and dropping debris like half-eaten pine cones and sticks, are also staying away during their own breeding cycle, offering a "nice little reprieve."

When fear and weakness threaten to overwhelm us, God calls us to courageous obedience. Just as He told Gideon in Judges 6:13-14 to “go in the strength you have,” the Lord invites us to trust His power, not our own. Jennifer Slattery shares how God’s presence transforms impossible situations into testimonies of His strength and victory. Highlights Gideon’s story shows God calls ordinary, fearful people to extraordinary purposes “Go in the strength you have” reminds us our weakness is the stage for God’s strength Personal story of stepping into a difficult calling with limited resources God doesn’t expect perfection—He expects obedience and trust True victory comes from God fighting our battles for us Join the Conversation What’s one area where God is calling you to step out even though you feel weak?

October 5, 2025 : Strong & Courageous Hosea 2:13-15 | Joshua 1:9

As we go through the book of Acts, we learn in chapter 21 that the Apostle Paul stood firm in his commitment to follow God's direction regardless the cost. As family and friends tried to talk him out of doing what was right, he stood firm. Unchanged. Courageous. Ready for whatever laid before him. 

About This Series"Strong & Courageous" is a four-week journey through the life of Joshua, an ordinary man who followed an extraordinary God with bold, unwavering faith. From the moment he stood against the crowd to the day he challenged a nation to choose who they would serve, Joshua's life shows us what it looks like to trust God, obey boldly, and lead with courage even when the path ahead is uncertain. In a world full of fear, noise, and pressure to conform, this series will challenge you to step up, step out, and follow Jesus with conviction, purpose, and strength for whatever lies ahead.This Week's EpisodeJoshua's story begins before the Book of Joshua, with his faith-filled response as one of the twelve spies. While ten saw giants, Joshua saw God's promise waiting to be fulfilled. We live in a culture of compromise, but when others give in to fear, we are called to be courageous.Ready For More?Check out firstchristian.com to find opportunities to connect and grow.We'd love to see you this coming Sunday on-campus or streaming online at 9 and 11am.Follow @fcccanton on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay connected!Support the show

On this encore of episode 454 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Maria Smilios, the author of ⁠The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis⁠. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Ms Smilios discuss how numerous Black nurses fled the Jim Crow south in search of opportunity in the non-segregated north, and how many ended up working at Sea View Hospital on Staten Island, a facility focused on the treatment — and to a large extent the warehousing — of thousands of TB patients. Listeners may be shocked to learn that the American Nurses Association barred Black nurses from being members until they gave in to pressure in 1949, despite Black nurses' impressive contributions to the development of the profession. A native of New York City, Ms. Smilios holds a Masters of Arts from Boston University in Religion & Literature where she was a Henry Luce Scholar and a Presidential Scholar. She also taught Essay and Research writing in the university's writing program.  In 2007, she left Boston and moved back to New York City to teach at an all-girls high school. There she created and ran an intensive summer writing program for teens.  Maria formerly worked as a development editor in the Biomedical Sciences editing books in lung diseases, pediatric and breast cancer, neurology, and ocular diseases. It was during this time when she read a line in a book that led her to discover the story of the Black Angels.  Through writing the book, she has become in involved in advocating for affordable and accessible TB drugs in TB-heavy countries, working with and supporting organizations such as EndTB and Partners in Health. In the past, Ms. Smilios has written for The Guardian, American Nurse, Narratively, The Rumpus, Dame Magazine, and The Forward among others. The Black Angels is her first book.

Steven Bernstein has spent a career proving that risk and creativity go hand in hand. The award-winning director and cinematographer behind Decoding Annie Parker, Monster, and Like Water for Chocolate has shot nearly 50 films and written projects that have drawn actors like Rhys Ifans, John Malkovich, and Samantha Morton. In this conversation with Ryan, he shares how radical honesty drives trust on set, why character always comes before plot, and how his unorthodox process led to his latest novel-turned-film GRQ / Get Rich Quick. His message is simple: stop waiting to be ready, finish the work, and put it into the world.

The battle for the next generation is real—and it starts with education. I'm joined today by Jonathan Brush, President of Unbound, to talk about the crisis on our college campuses and why we need a new way forward. You'll hear how Unbound is equipping young people with real-world skills, deep faith, and the courage to lead in a culture that's hostile to truth. This is a conversation every parent needs to hear!

From Cowards to Courageous Leaders, the story of the early church in Acts shows how ordinary people found courage, boldness, and true freedom in Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.This message wraps up the 35-Day Challenge and sets the tone for Be Free, Flatirons' next bold step of faith. Jim gets real about leadership, unity, and what's coming next for the church. Drawing from Acts, he shows how the early church exploded with courage and power—not because they were perfect, but because they were filled. Filled with the Spirit. Filled with boldness. Filled with a mission. The same Spirit that transformed Peter and Paul is calling us, right now, to something bigger.If you've ever felt disqualified, disillusioned, or afraid, this is for you. This isn't just a history lesson; it's a calling. Jesus didn't build His church with polished professionals; He used screw-ups, cowards, and skeptics who got filled and went first. And that's the plan for Flatirons moving forward. It's time to decide: Are you in? Fully in? Because the next move of God might come through your story, your scars, and your obedience.

"Let's be honest—most of us avoid tough conversations because they feel risky or uncomfortable. But the truth is, the conversations we're most afraid to have are often the ones that matter most. Whether it's standing up for yourself, advocating for someone else, or addressing an issue that's been swept under the rug, courageous conversations are how we create real change in our lives and communities."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/motivational-mondays--4180173/support.

Revelation 2:12-29 ESV To the Church in Pergamum12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.'To the Church in Thyatira18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.19 “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. 25 Only hold fast what you have until I come. 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

Our Courage Brands Spotlight is back, and this time Ryan, Billy, and Nicole put three very different brands under the lens. Billy kicks things off with Gymshark—the billion-dollar fitness brand built on TikTok and influencers instead of ads.  Billy shares how a teenager's side hustle turned into a global movement that connects physical and mental health. Nicole brings Oreo to the table, breaking down how a century-old classic stays fresh with bold flavor experiments, scarcity plays, and collaborations that keep people reaching for the blue package. Ryan closes with Liquid Death, the canned-water disruptor that proves purpose and playfulness can go hand in hand, from Spinal Tap spoofs to a mission of “murdering plastic.” Together, the team explores what makes these brands stand out, why courage often means resisting overthinking, and how clarity and conviction separate brands that lead from those that follow.

Welcome to this episode of Becoming Unshakeable! If you've been a follower and fan of Leadership with Heart, you're in exactly the right place. From here on out, Becoming Unshakeable will be the new name of my show—and I can't wait to bring you invaluable insights on what it means to lead with clarity, compassion and courage. Ed Rahill's story begins with a grandmother's steady voice and a childhood that could have gone either way. He learned early that fear can freeze your future, and that believing in something bigger than ego keeps you moving when life tilts. In this conversation, we trace his path from broken-home beginnings to the relay anchor leg that changed everything, where a single decision to run for dignity and team turned self pity into grit. That moment became a template for how he leads himself and others. We follow Ed into boardrooms and high-stakes turnarounds, where respect and clarity, open doors that force will never crack. He explains the quiet moves that earn trust, how to disagree with grace, and why every person wants to feel seen and essential. His “mile relay” philosophy becomes a leadership framework. Receive the baton of wisdom, run your leg with courage, then pass it on stronger. Caring leadership shows up not in slogans, but in the way you help people take ownership of the win. Then there is the race. A coast-to-coast endurance run, arrests, breakdowns, and a moment on the shoulder of the highway where he almost quit. Ed describes turning the ignition with a new rule for life. One mile at a time. That mindset set a record and reset his compass. Preparation mattered. Faith mattered. Choosing courage over fear mattered most. If you are becoming unshakeable right now, Ed's lesson lands simply. Go back to your first principles, remember who taught you to stand tall, and act from values instead of ego. Write down your story from the start and look for the pattern of growth. Lead yourself first, speak with respect, and move one mile at a time.  

Michael Federer is the son of William & Susie Federer. Also, he is a trainer and a YMCA Director, and a dedicated Christian. Michael had a couple of good personal testimonies coming from his work with men as a trainer, and how athletics trains the body, but also has a salutary effect on the soul, and builds Christian character.

Remembering Charlie Kirk, who was senselessly murdered yesterday at an event in Utah. Did video catch the shooter on a campus roof? Two people were detained, and both have been released. Kirk was so effective in changing hearts and minds. The greatest explanation of how America is a Christian nation courtesy of Charlie Kirk. Congress can't even agree on a moment of silence. MSNBC and CNN showed their stupidity yesterday. Remembering the horrific day that was September 11, 2001. The evil among us is reprehensible to behold.
