Owen Strachan: You Can't Outwork Anxiety | Coach Me Up with Jimmy Dykes & Chris BurkeYou can't grind your way out of anxiety. That's the message from Dr. Owen Strachan — theologian, author, and Director of One Gospel — as Jimmy and Chris open year five of the podcast with a conversation that hits everybody, believer or not.Owen's new book, A Call to Cultivate, digs into why anxiety has skyrocketed in a world that promised technology would make life easier. He unpacks the "hamster wheel" we all step onto when we're afraid, why men so rarely admit they feel it, and the practical habits that actually move the needle instead of just making you busier.Jimmy asks the question a lot of high performers are afraid to ask out loud: can we outwork anxiety? Chris brings it to the field — what he learned about worst-case scenarios after getting to the big leagues, and why he doesn't actually want his kids' games to go perfectly. And Owen gets brutally honest about being a dad: he can't remove a single weed from his daughter's path, and pretending otherwise is the problem.Also in this one: growing up 5'7" in Maine, Stephen King buying his high school basketball team's uniforms, the "divine Wi-Fi," and the 32-minutes-of-heck defense he coached last season in Louisville.Owen's book, A Call to Cultivate: Overcome Anxiety by Thriving Where God Plants You:https://www.amazon.com/Call-Cultivate-Overcome-Anxiety-Thriving/dp/1510786597Listen to Owen's podcast, Grace & Truth:https://salempodcastnetwork.com/podcasts/grace-truth-with-owen-strachanAs always, we thank our title sponsor https://onecountry.com for making this podcast possible — catch every episode on the OneCountry app — and https://konexial.com for their continued support of the show.COACH ME UP TEAMhttps://onecountry.comhttps://konexial.comFollow us on Twitter:https://twitter.com/CoachJimmyDykeshttps://twitter.com/ChrisBurke02•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Hosted by Jimmy Dykes and Chris BurkeProduced by Jared Mark Fincher — https://jaredmarkfincher.comAll audio is subject to copyright 2026 Jimmy Dykes Inc.Contact us at coachmeuppodcast@gmail.com

Using Jesus' Parable of the Four Soils in Matthew 13, Pastor Mike Kai explores the powerful connection between our spiritual lives and what is happening within our minds. Just as the same seed produces dramatically different results depending on the condition of the soil, the Word of God can produce very different results in our lives depending on the condition of our hearts and minds.

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike explores the fruit of self-control from Galatians 5:23. Biblical self-control is not simply the ability to manage our behavior; it is the Spirit-empowered ability to say yes to God and no to anything that distracts us from His presence and purpose. True self-control comes from surrendering our desires, thoughts, and actions to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The counterfeit fruit is self-will —trying to control our lives through our own strength and determination rather than relying on God. The rotten fruit is an uncontrolled spirit —being ruled by our impulses, desires, and emotions. True self-control is not about being controlled by ourselves, but about allowing God to transform and lead us.

What do you think is one of the most powerful obstacles to business development success for lawyers? Despite their busy schedules, it isn't a lack of time. It's not about the lack of money, either. It's not even that you don't know how to do it, although law school certainly didn't teach it. Simply put, it's your mindset. It's the stories you tell yourself that stop you from taking (or fully committing to) consistent, targeted action. And it's the biggest impediment I've come across again and again with lawyers I meet. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge podcast, you'll learn 7 tips that will help you cultivate a successful business development mindset. I'll teach you a thought process that will inspire you to start taking action in the direction of your goals and stick with it consistently!

I gave God ten minutes. That's it... ten minutes of silence on a balcony in Caracas, with two highways roaring past and a stinky attitude about whether He'd actually say anything back. This conversation I have with Jody Hovda gets into what that experiment became, and where prayer went for her once she stopped telling God what to do and started listening instead.Jody has spent years walking with people through spiritual formation and discipleship, including her work with Cultivate. She's lived overseas, discipled women through hard seasons, and has a gift for helping people notice where God already is instead of chasing where they think He should be.Expect to hear the full story behind the ten minutes of silence that started it all, what changed when Jody moved from petitioning God to listening for Him, the story of a roadside decision that turned into an act of kindness, why she calls painful seasons "the manure" and how that framing actually produces growth, the difference between the two kinds of knowing God (intellectual and experiential), and how believing every person is an image-bearer changes the way you drive, parent, and stand in line at the grocery store, and more...If something in this conversation stirs something in you, I'd love for you to sit with it.

Send us Fan MailHow do you make a nonprofit ‘investable' to today's philanthropic donors? Carol Wick, president of Sharity, explains how stronger planning, financial discipline, outcome measurement, and revenue strategy can help nonprofits attract larger, longer-term investments.Traditional fundraising often sits apart from operations. Carol argues that this separation leaves organizations chasing gifts without building the infrastructure donors increasingly expect. Drawing on 40 years in the sector and Sharity's work across 37 countries, she outlines five elements that help philanthropic investors—and boards—feel confident: a functional business plan, a multiyear budget, the right team, measurable outcomes, and a sustainable revenue strategy.Carol reports that roughly 75% of nonprofits do not have a strategic plan guiding daily operations. She also shares that Sharity clients following its model average a 200% revenue increase within 24 months. Those results begin with a shift in thinking: donors are not only asking whether the mission is inspiring. They want to know what the organization will accomplish, how success will be proven, what it will cost, whether the team can deliver, and who else is committed."Nonprofit is a tax status, not a goal,” Carol says. That mindset requires leaders to understand the real cost of every program, identify funding gaps, and confront services that may be ineffective or financially unsustainable.The conversation also separates outputs from outcomes. Counting meals, bed nights, or counseling hours shows activity. Investors want evidence of what changed because those services were delivered. As Carol puts it, donors “do not want to just know that you were busy.”Key Takeaways: * Integrate fundraising with operations, outcomes, budgeting, and long-term strategy.* Build a three-year business plan, organizational chart, and budget—not a shelf-bound retreat document.* Measure the change programs produce, not merely the volume of services delivered.* Calculate the full cost of programs, including wages, benefits, overhead, and depreciation.* Cultivate both present-focused donors and future-focused investors seeking societal change.* Use strategic planning as the cultivation foundation for a comprehensive campaign.00:00:00 Making a Nonprofit a Smarter Investment00:01:24 Sharity's Scaling Model and 200% Revenue Growth00:03:03 Why Fundraising Cannot Be Separated from Operations00:06:12 How Modern Philanthropic Investors Evaluate Nonprofits00:09:00 The Five Factors That Build Donor Confidence00:10:18 Teams, Outcomes, and Sustainable Revenue00:12:04 Confronting Programs That Lose Money or Miss the Mission00:16:16 Present-Focused Donors vs. Future-Focused Investors00:19:23 Turning Strategic Planning into Donor Cultivation00:22:31 Stop Chasing Dollars and Return to the Mission00:24:45 Nonprofit Inc.: Scaling with Purpose00:27:25 The Work Required to Scale Successfully#NonprofitStrategy #PhilanthropicInvestment #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this episode, I sit down with Julie Wilson from Women Doing Well to discuss how biblical generosity begins with the heart, not your bank account. We explore why waiting until you're financially successful to give is a myth, how God transforms a scarcity mindset into one of abundance, and what it truly means to steward everything He's entrusted to us. Julie also shares insights from groundbreaking research on Christian women and generosity, revealing how women are increasingly shaping Kingdom impact through their influence, leadership, and faithful stewardship. If you're a Christian entrepreneur who wants to build a business with open hands and an eternal perspective, this conversation will both encourage and challenge you. __________________________________________________________

Sometimes God's presence and glory seems separated from everyday life, but what if daily grace can be experienced in the mundane? In this episode, Arlene talks with beloved author and artist Ruth Chou Simons about her new book, This Moment Matters: 100 Ways to Cultivate a Grace-Laced Life.

Rev. Enya Sapp continues with the theme of cultivating faith and trust in the Buddha's teaching. The Practice frees us from the obstacles of our suffering, but we must have the trust to be willing to put the teachings into practice.

We're not simply to stand our ground; we're to plant our ground.

Generosity can begin with a simple gift, but when it becomes a family rhythm, its impact can last for generations. Most parents want their children to grow into generous adults—people who see what God has entrusted to them as something to be stewarded for His purposes and the good of others. But generosity rarely develops by accident. It is cultivated over time through example, experience, and intentional practice. Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors and Co-Founder of Women Doing Well, joins the show today to encourage families to begin teaching generosity early and continue nurturing it through every stage of life.  The goal is not simply to raise children who give money, but to help them discover the joy of living generously with everything God has provided. Start by Modeling Generosity Young children may not understand much about money yet, but they are always watching. That makes the early years an ideal time to model generosity through simple, tangible experiences. Parents might take their children grocery shopping for items to donate to a local food pantry, allowing them to choose the food and deliver it. The lesson is simple: We have something we can share, and together, we can use it to help someone else. Families can also find creative ways to connect generosity with celebrations. Sharon suggests hosting a “reverse birthday party,” where guests bring items for a ministry or charity the child helps select. Another simple practice is keeping blank cards nearby so children can draw pictures or write encouraging notes for someone who may be lonely, sick, or going through a difficult season. None of these activities requires a child to understand complex financial concepts. They simply allow children to see generosity in action. Give Children Hands-On Opportunities to Serve As children grow, parents can begin inviting them into more direct experiences of giving. One powerful approach is volunteering together at a local ministry, especially an organization serving other children or families. Serving side by side allows generosity to become something children experience personally rather than merely hear about. Families might also consider sponsoring a child through a trusted ministry. Sharon shared how her own daughter began sponsoring a child at age five and continued that relationship as they both grew older. Experiences like these can help children recognize that generosity is relational. It is not simply about transferring money from one place to another. It is about seeing people, caring about their needs, and responding with compassion. Connect Generosity to a Teenager's Passions As children enter their teenage years, their interests and passions become clearer. That creates an opportunity to help them connect generosity with the things they already care about. A teenager who loves the outdoors, for example, might become interested in supporting a Christian camp ministry. A young person passionate about sports might enjoy serving through an organization that uses athletics to mentor children. Families can also make service part of their normal rhythms. Spring break or other holidays, for instance, can include opportunities to serve together. Sharon shared that her children participated in spring break mission trips while growing up. Those experiences became so meaningful that they continued serving during college because generosity had simply become part of what their family did. That is one of the most powerful lessons parents can pass along: Generosity is not an occasional project. It can become part of the way we live. Let Generosity Involve Sacrifice Biblical generosity often involves more than giving from what is left over. Sometimes it requires choosing to give something up so that someone else can benefit. Teenagers are old enough to begin experiencing that kind of sacrifice intentionally. One creative idea is a “pantry challenge,” where a family spends a period of time eating primarily what is already in the house while limiting grocery purchases. The money saved could then be given toward a ministry or someone in need. Practices like this help young people understand that generosity involves choices. We may choose to spend less so we can give more. We may give up some of our time to serve. We may share our skills, possessions, or opportunities with someone else. Sacrifice helps generosity move from an abstract idea to a lived experience. Encourage Generosity Into Adulthood Parents can continue encouraging generosity even after their children become adults, but their role begins to change. Rather than directing their children's giving, parents can create opportunities for them to make their own decisions. One option Sharon suggests is helping an adult child establish a donor-advised fund. Parents might provide an initial amount and even offer to match what their child contributes toward charitable giving. The purpose is not simply to create another financial account. It is to encourage intentionality. What causes do they care about? Where do they see God at work? How might the resources entrusted to them become part of that work? Questions like these help adult children develop their own convictions about generosity and stewardship. Expand Your Family's Definition of Giving Perhaps one of the most important lessons families can learn is that generosity is about far more than money. We can give our time. We can offer our skills. We can share our relationships, possessions, influence, and opportunities. This broader understanding allows generosity to become what Sharon describes as “whole-life, purpose-filled generosity.” And that means every member of the family has something to give. A young child can draw an encouraging picture. A teenager can spend a Saturday serving. An adult can use financial resources, professional skills, or relationships to help others. Generosity begins by asking a simple question: What has God entrusted to me that I can use for the good of someone else? Generosity Is Often Caught More Than Taught Parents can certainly talk with their children about giving, but some of the most powerful lessons will come from what children see practiced consistently at home. When they watch their parents give joyfully, serve willingly, and hold their resources with open hands, they begin to understand that generosity is not merely something Christians do. It is part of who we are becoming as faithful stewards. And when families practice generosity together—from childhood through adulthood—they plant seeds that may continue bearing fruit long after the original gift has been given. A generous family legacy is ultimately about more than what we leave to the next generation. It is about helping prepare the next generation to faithfully steward whatever God places in their hands. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I have an annuity and want to borrow $200,000 to buy an investment property. I've been told I could qualify for the loan based on my assets, then withdraw from the annuity to pay it off without owing taxes because the withdrawal wouldn't be earned income. Is that correct, or would the annuity withdrawal still be taxable? I set up a trust for my wife while she was living with Alzheimer's, and she passed away a couple of years ago. How often should a trust be reviewed, and should I update or redo it now? I have about $250,000 in home equity and a 3.85% mortgage, so I don't want to do a cash-out refinance. Are home equity sharing agreements a legitimate option, and what should I know before considering one? I'm 62, single, and have property and investments. I want to get my estate in order. What's the difference between a will and a trust, do I need a power of attorney, and what's the best way to get these documents set up?

Mats Steen spent most of his short life indoors in Oslo. To his parents he looked like a young man with no one. When he died, hundreds of people reached out to say they had known him for years, inside World of Warcraft, as a character named Ibelin. His parents had no idea.That story sits at the center of this episode, and so does the question underneath it: how much of what games actually do is invisible to the people measuring them?Recorded on a rooftop in New York at Games for Change 2026, this episode brings together three people running the organization.

For this episode, host Bill Calkins is joined by Jeremy Webber, an ornamentals crop team member at Koppert. Jeremy has experience in propagation and finished plant production, as well as more than a decade of leading a team that works with growers across North America to develop holistic IPM approaches customized for each greenhouse and growing situation. At his core, Jeremy is a plant guy through and through and wrote an excellent article for the 2026 GrowerTalks Biosolutions Guide. For the guide, Bill challenged him to put a unique spin on how bio-IPM strategies lead to plant health, which in turn means fewer crop losses and a reduced need for rescue missions to save plants from pest and disease. Jeremy titled his article “The End of Rotation Anxiety (Stop Playing the MOA Game with EPF)” and explored an angle he's truly passionate about—that although rotating crop protection products is definitely a key part of IPM and resistance management, it's sort of an old school way of thinking. If this sounds bold and raises questions in your mind, we're with you. Which is why Bill sat down with Jeremy at the July 2026 Cultivate event in Columbus, Ohio … to dig deeper into the article to better understand what Jeremy is advocating for.

What if the real question isn't whether to use AI, but where to use it? ------------Mike Schmitz believes the best creators aren't choosing between AI and human creativity. They're learning where AI adds value, where it gets in the way, and how their own taste remains the one thing no tool can replicate.Mike shares his "AI is a dial, not a switch" philosophy, introduces his Creativity Flywheel for turning ideas into original work, and explains how a personal knowledge management system can help creators build better content over time. We also explore Obsidian, second brains, AI-assisted writing, and why consistently creating, not just collecting ideas, is what develops your unique voice.Key Points:AI is a dial, not a switch. The key is knowing which parts of your creative process to hand off and which to protect.Your taste, judgment, and voice are what make your work stand out in a world of AI-generated content.The Creativity Flywheel: Capture, Curate, Connect, Cultivate, and Create.A second brain should help you generate ideas, not become another place to store information you'll never use.AI works best when it's given your own notes, ideas, and context instead of a blank page.Publish consistently. Creating regularly is how you develop your taste and sharpen your creative instincts.Remove friction when capturing ideas, but add intentional friction when deciding which ideas deserve your attention.Resources:Mike Schmitz: Website | YouTube | Focused Podcast | Bookworm PodcastCheck out his LifeHQ, a Life Operating System inside Obsidian!Paul Gowder: Website | Facebook | Powwows.comPaul's got an awesome Facebook Challenge going on right now!Books MentionedSteal Like an Artist by Austin KleonCo-Intelligence by Ethan MollickHow to Read a Book by Mortimer J.

But that's not me.Graphene has the potential to revolutionize industries with its remarkable properties. A single layer of carbon atoms, graphene is lighter, stronger, and a better conductor of electricity and heat than any other material. Bradley Larschan, CEO of Avadain, Inc., explained, “When you reduce graphite, which is the mother material, to a single atomic layer, it behaves completely differently. It can be the strongest material ever discovered... the best conductor of electricity, the best conductor of heat... What that means is that we have the ability to transform thousands of products with this material.”Graphene's environmental potential is particularly exciting. By incorporating it into products like wind turbine blade coatings or electric vehicle batteries, waste and inefficiencies can be significantly reduced. Larschan shared, “We can replace critical minerals or enhance them through a clean, environmentally responsible process.” This allows for longer lasting and more efficient products, reducing the need for invasive mining practices and cutting carbon footprints across industries.Avadain's patented technology produces defect-free, high-quality graphene at scale, making it accessible for widespread adoption. With applications in construction, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics already realized, the possibilities for graphene appear endless.Avadain is currently raising capital via a crowdfunding campaign on NetCapital. As Larschan noted, “Through democratizing the fundraising, we've raised more than $15 million so far... It's exhilarating and uplifting to have this much support.”Graphene isn't just a breakthrough material—it's a tool for creating a cleaner, more sustainable future. The possibilities presented by this tiny, yet mighty discovery inspire individuals and industries alike.tl;dr:Graphene is revolutionizing industries, offering applications that range from EV batteries to sustainable construction.Avadain's patented graphene production process is clean, scalable, and supports a more sustainable future.Bradley Larschan's perseverance led to breakthroughs in graphene production despite massive scientific and logistical challenges.Crowdfunding on NetCapital has raised over $15 million, enabling the transformative efforts of Avadain.Bradley's resilience and tenacity serve as models for innovators seeking to tackle global challenges.How to Develop Perseverance As a SuperpowerBrad defines his superpower as perseverance: “Pushing the envelope of physics” and pursuing solutions with tenacity against all odds. He elaborated, “There are so many bumps in the road... It's just so much easier to say, okay, let's quit or let's do something different. But that's not me.” This perseverance has enabled Bradley to advance groundbreaking innovations, even in the face of countless challenges.Brad shared a key moment in Avadain's journey. In 2019, after years of painstaking research, they finally proved their graphene production technology worked as intended. What followed was another multi-year process of scaling up. Despite unexpected delays, including upscaling their reactors by 2,000 times, Bradley's commitment ensured the project stayed on course. In the upcoming year, he anticipates launching a pilot plant and achieving full production within two years—milestones made possible by his resilience.Tips for Developing Perseverance:Constantly evaluate your goals to ensure you're on the right path.Focus on the mission and remind yourself of its broader impact.Cultivate tenacity by viewing challenges as opportunities to innovate.Build a resilient team to weather obstacles together.Embrace step-by-step progress, even in the face of daunting timelines.By following Brad's example and advice, you can make perseverance a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileBradley Larschan (he/him):CEO, Avadain, Inc.About Avadain, Inc.: Avadain's large, thin, defect‑free (LTDF) graphene is a breakthrough nano-material engineered to unlock the full potential of graphene by delivering industrial‑scale flakes that are stronger, lighter, more conductive and more durable than anything previously available.

Have you ever sensed a strong nudge to call someone, avoid a situation, or step toward an opportunity—and then chalked it up to coincidence? Those moments may not be coincidences at all. They may be the quiet, unheralded working of the Holy Spirit in your life. Pastor Chuck Swindoll draws from Scripture to examine the Spirit's subtle but powerful ministry of inner promptings—those hunches, convictions, and flashes of clarity that guide believers toward God's purposes when they are paying attention. Cultivate your sensitivity to the Spirit's voice. Identify His promptings, trust them, and respond with faith and obedience.

#961. Jaclyn Johnson has built businesses, sold them, bought them back, started over, and learned that success doesn't always look the way you think it will.This week, Jaclyn joins Kaitlyn for a refreshingly honest conversation about the highs and lows behind building Create & Cultivate, what it actually felt like to sell the company she poured everything into, and why buying it back became one of the biggest full-circle moments of her career. She opens up about navigating burnout, a breast cancer diagnosis that shifted her perspective, moving back to New York, and the lessons she's learned through every major pivot along the way.Plus, Kaitlyn puts Jaclyn's investor instincts to the test in a game of Invest or Pass, pitching everything from startup ideas to some of the biggest brands we all know as Jaclyn reveals what she'd invest in, what she'd pass on, and why.Whether you've followed Jaclyn for years or this is your first introduction, this conversation goes far beyond business. It's about reinvention, resilience, taking risks, and finding the courage to bet on yourself—no matter what chapter you're in.If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!

What if the peace and presence you long for is already here—closer than you imagine? In this guided meditation, we explore the practice of awakening an intimate presence with life as it is. Through mindful awareness of the body, breath, heart, and senses, we gently release habitual striving and return to the living reality of this moment. As we soften into a receptive awareness, we discover a natural spaciousness that can hold whatever arises with kindness and ease. This meditation invites you to: ✨ Relax into embodied awareness and presence ✨ Cultivate a gentle, friendly attention toward your inner experience ✨ Sense the aliveness of the body from the inside out ✨ Rest in the stillness and openness of awareness itself ✨ Deepen trust in the loving presence that is your true nature Whether you're new to meditation or a longtime practitioner, this practice offers a pathway home—to the intimacy, peace, and awake heart that are always here.
