As one of Peloton's founding instructors, Hannah Corbin has helped millions move their bodies. But her new mission is just as bold: helping people slow down. Her new book Did You Stretch Tho makes a powerful case for rest, recovery, and treating yourself like someone worth caring for. In this episode, Hannah joins Ryan to talk about what it takes to stay soft in a world that rewards hardness. They discuss how she overcame imposter syndrome to write her first book, how an autoimmune diagnosis changed the way she leads, and what it really means to move with intention. Hannah opens up about the pressure to be “on” all the time, how she stays grounded in community, and why her biggest creative leaps often come with a quiet voice of doubt—and the courage to keep going anyway.

TODAY'S LESSONYou're not just raising girls; you're shaping generations. The loudest sermons your daughters will ever hear are the ones they watch you live—how you talk about people in private, how you handle disappointment, how you return to the Word when emotions run hot. Proverbs tells us, “Train up a child in the way he should go.” (22:6). Training isn't lecturing; it's modeling and practicing—repeatedly.Give them language for God's presence: “Let's ask Jesus together.” Turn anxiety moments into prayer labs. Let them catch you worshiping when no one's watching. Read Scripture at the table and ask questions that spark discovery: “What does this show us about God? What can we obey today?” Celebrate obedience more than performance. Correct with dignity, not shaming. Give them a vision for femininity that is strong, holy, and joy-filled—not reactionary to culture, but radiant under King Jesus.And for spiritual daughters—young women in your church or circle—offer mentorship. Invite them to serve beside you. Tell them stories of God's faithfulness. Give them opportunities to lead and fail forward in safety. Daughters rise when mothers and mentors lift.

In this episode of the Mindset Matters podcast, Patrick and Steffany unpack one of the most profound truths about personal growth: everything worth having comes with a cost of entry. Creating a life by design requires more than intention or vision—it asks for commitment, awareness, and the willingness to pay the invisible prices of self-mastery. Patrick introduces the Seven Costs of Entry as essential truths for anyone pursuing growth and transformation. Each cost represents the discomfort required to evolve into the best version of yourself: Uncertainty is the cost of achievement. True success has no guarantees. If you need certainty, you'll trade your dreams for comfort. Imposter syndrome is the cost of growth. Feeling unqualified means you're stretching into new territory. Loneliness is the cost of transformation. As you evolve, not everyone will evolve with you. Embarrassment is the cost of progress. Growth is messy, and fear of looking foolish keeps many people stuck. Courageous conversations are the cost of meaningful relationships. Authentic connection requires honesty, even when it's uncomfortable. Criticism is the cost of excellence. The higher you climb, the more visible—and judged—you become. Boredom is the cost of success. True mastery is built on repetitive, often unglamorous consistency. Through relatable stories and practical insights, Patrick and Steffany connect these seven costs to the MindShui Way—clearing mental clutter, embracing discomfort, and aligning with purpose. Their message is simple but powerful: the world belongs to those willing to pay the real price of growth. Tune in to explore how reframing discomfort as the natural cost of progress can help you step into clarity, confidence, and a truly meaningful life.

By the time you implement “best practices,” they've become boring practices, and B2B sure doesn't mean boring to business. In this episode, Drew talks with Udi Ledergor (Gong), author of Courageous Marketing, the book that challenges B2B marketers to stop playing it safe. Together, they explore what it means to lead with creativity, confidence, and courage. Udi also shares how Gong earned attention by building an audience that wanted to engage, not just be targeted. With every executive, from the CEO to the CFO, invested in the story, marketing became a company-wide advantage instead of a department.  Three B2B Marketing Traps Udi Warns Against:  Following industry best practices instead of breaking them  Letting marketing own brand alone  Hiring for experience over potential Plus:  The punch-above-your-weight framework that makes a startup look enterprise-ready  Why brand must be led by the CEO and modeled across the exec team  How to hire for curiosity, learning speed, and potential  How to sell the 95–5 content mindset to your CEO and CFO If you're done blending in, this conversation will remind you why courage still wins in B2B. Udi will be speaking at the CMO Super Huddle in Palo Alto on November 7th, 2025. All attendees will receive a complimentary copy of his book, Courageous Marketing, and can get it signed in the morning!  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.Haec mando vobis : ut diligatis invicem. 18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.Si mundus vos odit, scitote quia me priorem vobis odio habuit. 19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.Si de mundo fuissetis, mundus quod suum erat diligeret : quia vero de mundo non estis, sed ego elegi vos de mundo, propterea odit vos mundus. 20 Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.Mementote sermonis mei, quem ego dixi vobis : non est servus major domino suo. Si me persecuti sunt, et vos persequentur; si sermonem meum servaverunt, et vestrum servabunt. 21 But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me.Sed haec omnia facient vobis propter nomen meum : quia nesciunt eum qui misit me. 22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.Si non venissem, et locutus fuissem eis, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem excusationem non habent de peccato suo. 23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.Qui me odit, et Patrem meum odit. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.Si opera non fecissem in eis quae nemo alius fecit, peccatum non haberent : nunc autem et viderunt, et oderunt et me, et Patrem meum. 25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.Sed ut adimpleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est : Quia odio habuerunt me gratis.The holy Apostles Simon, a Cananean, called Zelotes (the Zealot) and Jude Thaddeus, a brother of St James the Less, a cousin to Jesus, called Lebbeus (the Courageous), preached the Gospel, the first in Egypt, the second in Mesopotamia. They both suffered martyrdom in Persia in the fist century. St Jude wrote a short Epistle in which he exhorts the faithful to beware heretics.

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?

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.

When the going gets tough—and the battles don't end as quickly as we hoped—it's easy to grow weary and discouraged. That's where Israel found themselves in Joshua 11. Victory didn't come in a single day or even a single campaign. It took years of relentless struggle.After conquering the land in central and southern Canaan, Joshua turned his focus to the north. There, he was confronted by a huge coalition army. Not only was Joshua outnumbered 7-to-1, but for the first time in battle, he faced horses and chariots—terrifying and effective war machines of the Bronze Age.Yet despite the odds, Joshua and his army ultimately triumphed. It didn't happen easily, and it didn't happen quickly. Estimates are that the Northern Campaign took more than seven years – seven painful, bloody years.Here's what we need to understand.  There is no record in chapter 11 of any sort of dramatic supernatural intervention. No rivers that parted…no walls that fell down…no hail from the sky…and no sun standing still.  For seven long years, God's people had to fight day after day after day.And that's something we need to grasp in our day.Sometimes God demonstrates that He is with us by moving in dramatic ways, which result in a quick victory. Other times, God demonstrates that He is with us by enabling us to doggedly fight on over the long haul.What can we learn from Joshua that can help us keep going when the going gets tough? 1.     Joshua demonstrated an unwavering trust in God. Joshua trusted that the God who had promised him ultimate victory would eventually take him there—even though there was pain and struggle along the way. Courageous faith soldiers on.  2.     Joshua demonstrated an uncompromising obedience to God. When the going gets tough, it's easy to begin cutting corners. A bit of compromise here or there. But Joshua recognized that the end does not justify the means. Obeying, even when it was difficult or didn't make sense, was the key to success.3.     Joshua demonstrated an unfaltering perseverance with God. When the going gets tough, it's no easy thing to keep on fighting day after day after day. Yet, during those long years of struggle and battle, Joshua never gave in…he never gave out…he never gave up.  And in the end, he realized victory. Text: Joshua 11 Originally recorded on October 30, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

In this sermon by Carolyn Wilson on Reformation Sunday, the focus is on the enduring impact of the Protestant Reformation and its central theological pillars, known as the "five solas." Wilson begins with a historical overview, describing how the early Christian church endured persecution and how, over centuries, its rise to power in Europe led to widespread corruption and spiritual neglect. Courageous reformers like John Wycliffe and Jan Hus challenged these abuses, laying the groundwork for Martin Luther and the Reformation movement. Carolyn highlights each of the five solas: grace alone counters self-sufficiency; faith alone frees believers from the pressure to earn salvation; Christ alone affirms Jesus as the exclusive mediator; Scripture alone stands as the infallible authority; and to God alone be the glory places all honor with God rather than personal achievement. She connects these principles to challenges in contemporary culture, urging believers to maintain vigilance, humility, and faithfulness. The sermon concludes with a call for continual reformation within the church, emphasizing that the Reformation is not just history but an ongoing movement. Carolyn encourages believers to anchor themselves in biblical truth and live out these principles so that the light of Christ can shine brightly in today's world.

We explore how avoidance, disguised as politeness, slowly erodes trust — and how courageous conversations can actually strengthen relationships and performance. Katherine breaks down what “calling out the elephant” looks like in practice: reading the emotional landscape, choosing timing over impulse, and speaking truth without weaponizing it.From emotional intelligence to communication frameworks, we examine how leaders can replace fear with curiosity — and transform tension into alignment.TL;DR* Avoidance kills trust faster than conflict ever will.* Clarity + compassion = productive honesty.* Name the issue early — silence grows resentment.* True kindness includes telling the truth.* Courageous dialogue builds stronger, safer teams.Memorable lines* “Kindness without honesty is just avoidance in disguise.”* “The longer you avoid the elephant, the bigger it gets.”* “When you name what's real, people finally exhale.”* “Courage isn't about comfort — it's about connection.”Guest: Katherine Lazaruk — Founder, LZRK Consulting | Executive Coach & Keynote Speaker LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katherinelazaruk/ Website: https://lzrkconsulting.com/Why it mattersEvery organization has its unspoken truths — unaddressed conflicts, performance gaps, or cultural tension. Leaders who learn to name those realities, with empathy and clarity, create workplaces where honesty isn't feared but valued. The courage to speak the unsaid is what separates management from leadership.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.
