Join the conversation in our community at https://butjesusdrankwine.com/community. We're re-releasing one of our most popular episodes—Episode 13: Did Jesus Drink Wine? With Pastor David—because some truths are worth hearing twice. Or ten times. This episode gets to the heart of a phrase many of us used to justify the habit: “But Jesus drank wine.” It's not just the name of our podcast—it was a story that kept us stuck in a nightly-ish drinking cycle. So today, join us in the studio as they welcome a very special guest: Meade's pastor, David Walters, who joins us as our resident biblical scholar to tackle the burning question: Did Jesus really drink wine—and does it matter? David bravely and graciously unpacks this question and so many more, including: What does Scripture actually say about wine and drinking? What does it mean to “take our thoughts captive”? Why is the heart mentioned over 800 times in the Bible—and what does that have to do with the lies we believe? What are false idols, and how do they relate to alcohol or anything else we turn to for comfort? How do we uncover the deeper truth beneath the stories that keep us stuck? And yes… what do kids and CrossFit have to do with any of this? This episode is packed with spiritual depth, practical wisdom, and powerful applications for anyone on the journey to freedom—from alcohol, or anything else taking up too much space in your life. And don't miss the end of the episode—this week's “tiny TINA” might just be the most brilliant yet. Whether you're new to the pod or you've heard this one before, hit play with fresh ears. Because this might be the replay your heart needs right now. #ButJesusDrankWine #FreedomFromAlcohol #BiblicalTruth #FaithAndFreedom #TheMissingPeace #RenewYourMind #ChristianWomen #ReRelease Join our private, small-group coaching space, The Missing Peace, and get BJDW all-community access for free! https://butjesusdrankwine.com/coaching Order Christy's book now available!

Send feedback for the showWelcome back to Rizzology! In this episode, Nick and Tom DeGiuli are hanging out in the studio. We kick things off talking about live podcasting, crazy travel schedules, and how Hyrox is blowing up as the new CrossFit.From there, it's a wild ride: they swap stories about fitness cults, the Liver King scandal, influencer marketing gone rogue, and just how weird social media can get—yes, including selling bathwater and OnlyFans drama. There's plenty of joking around, some surprisingly deep talk about chasing trends, being real with yourself, and what it means to actually be happy with your body and your life, even as the internet keeps changing the game.00:00 Live Streaming & Travel Reflections07:25 "Wrestling with Authenticity and Persona"14:56 Marine Biologist's Thrilling Passion19:54 AI Creations Need Watermarks22:22 Social Media Overload Impact27:13 Fragmented Follower Engagement Issues32:08 "Lion or Sheep Dilemma"38:24 "Seeking Connection and Attention"45:16 Gym's Next Chapter: Jiu Jitsu?47:44 Training Girls in Self-Defense57:24 Finding Personal Happiness in Fitness01:02:37 Life Choices and Expansion Dilemma01:03:27 Expanding for Business Growth01:12:40 Transformative Late-Night Workouts01:16:10 Designing an Innovative Gym Space01:19:31 "Consult God Before Church Visit"Support the showYouTubeInstagram Tik Tok We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode!

Summary In this episode of the Conquer Athlete Podcast, Ryan Bucciantini and Jason Leydon discuss their recent experiences in mentorship and coaching. They explore the importance of continuous learning and the various stages of development that coaches go through. The conversation delves into the challenges posed by the information age, emphasizing the need for practical application of knowledge. They also share insights on when to implement new techniques with athletes and the value of collaboration in the coaching community. The episode concludes with a discussion on upcoming mentorship opportunities. Takeaways Mentorship is crucial for continuous growth as a coach. There are distinct stages of learning in coaching: apprentice, craftsman, and mastery. Coaches should always seek to elevate their knowledge and skills. The information age has changed how coaches access knowledge, but it can hinder deep understanding. Practical application of knowledge is essential for effective coaching. Timing is key when implementing new techniques with athletes. Collaboration and sharing information among coaches is vital for community growth. Personal experiences and mentorship shape coaching philosophies. Coaches should be open to learning from various sources and experiences. Continuous education is a lifelong journey for coaches. Topics Bear Hunting and Coaching Insights The Journey of a Coach: From Apprentice to Master Navigating the Information Age in Coaching Sound Bites "This is how the strong gets stronger." "You're never above learning from someone else." "The more you continually look to elevate who you are." "You should absorb as much free education as you can."

For Rob Merto, signs were just the family business.Then, he found CrossFit (and a warehouse gym in dire need of wall-ball targets) and what started as a summer job became an art — and the go-to signage and brand-packaging solution for CrossFit gyms and competitions around the world, including the CrossFit Games. Athlete placards, lane markers, floor decals, banners — if you've seen it on a wall or the competition floor, Rob (and his team) probably made it. “There was that one year at the Games where we had to do the rig reveal,” Rob says. “We had to basically hide a rig. We called it the barbecue cover.”But while often considered little more than an afterthought, signage plays a pivotal role in the customer experience, Rob says. “There's so many things you could talk about when you walk into a gym,” he says. “Like, maybe you have an entryway that has a neon sign, or a cool desk with a sign on it right when you walk in. So we try to think through those types of things as you come into the gym. … How can we make it look cool, and how can we give that customer, or that new athlete, a journey as they walk through your gym before they even take the first class?”Listen in as Rob and co-hosts Tony Ronchi, Cary Hair, and Andrew Charlesworth swap stories from the old days of CrossFit — and discuss how something as seemingly simple as a sign can help affiliates tell their stories. --CHAPTERS0:00 Intro.5:11 Rob's origin story.7:31 Serendipity and the 30-hr project.17:04 Is AI the death of designers?27:70 Hiding the A-frame and the nostalgia of CrossFit culture. 37:03 Signage and brand identity: the quintessential afterthought.45:48 Brand identity and the customer journey. --Signs Rx: https://www.signsrxusa.com/--Infinitely Scalable Podcast: Helping entrepreneurs, creatives, and humans everywhere find freedom.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Brandon DaCruz, an online nutrition and physique coach, educator, and science communicator, for a deep dive into one of the most debated models in metabolism research: the constrained energy model proposed by Dr. Herman Pontzer.Together, they unpack the nuances of Pontzer's hypothesis, challenge some of the prevailing interpretations, and explore how it compares to the traditional additive model of metabolism — where exercise is believed to directly increase total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). Brandon offers his take on how constrained energy expenditure has been misrepresented to suggest that exercise is ineffective for weight loss, and he brings both data and coaching insights to the conversation.They also explore the concept of metabolic adaptation, sustainable metabolic scope, and what the research really says about the relationship between physical activity and body composition over time. This conversation is essential listening for anyone navigating the complexities of energy balance, fat loss, and exercise science.Brandon DaCruz at his website https://www.brandondacruzfit.com/, and on Instagram @brandondacruz_Chasing Clarity https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lyle-mcdonald-challenging-the-constrained-energy/id1619611966?i=1000709417044Brandon DaCruz is an online nutrition and physique coach and sports nutritionist.
