Podcast appearances and mentions of David Osborne

It's time to abandon outdated models and rethink everything.Accounting Influencerswith Rob BrownThe accounting profession is standing at a critical juncture. In a powerhouse panel for the Accounting Influencers Podcast, three industry leaders—David Osborne, CEO of Conga and former Caseware chief; Tom Hood, EVP of Business Engagement and Growth at the AICPA; and Katie Thomas, owner and founder of Leaders Online—called for a radical reimagining of how the profession recruits, retains, and empowers talent.More Rob BrownHood doesn't mince words. “Technology has always been the biggest driver of change in our profession,” he says, pointing to generative AI as both a threat and a massive opportunity. Yet, he warns, “We're hearing parents tell students not to go into accounting because it's going away. I actually happen to think the exact opposite.”Hood also zeroes in on what he calls the “moose in the room”-- the profession's leaky talent pipeline. “Pay has not kept up, and we keep talking to students about how hard accounting is. That culture doesn't resonate with this generation.”

In his powerful kickoff to SZN 2, Revival Through Reason, Pastor David Osborne delivers a faith-building message titled God Did, rooted in Romans 5:1–4. With bold declarations and deep biblical insight, Pastor David reminds us that everything we are, everything we've endured, and everything we hope for is possible because God did the work through Jesus Christ. From the tribulations that shape our endurance, to the character refined through trials, to the hope that rises from the fire—this message challenges us to reflect on the "why" behind our revival. No matter the circumstance, we can live, thrive, and move forward because God Did!

In this message titled Standing in Faith, we explore how faith—like Abraham's—is the foundation of a life anchored in God's promises. Drawing from Romans 4:16–21, this sermon reveals that faith isn't about perfection, but about persistence: it makes you a believer, fills you with hope, and gives you strength to endure. Even when time tempts us to doubt, true faith believes in what is unseen and trusts God to do the impossible. Whether you're waiting for a promise to come to pass or pushing through discouragement, this message will encourage you to stand firm, trust deeply, and let your faith produce fruit that only the Spirit of God can grow.

In Prerequisites to Living, we discover that revival begins at the empty tomb and that real life in Christ often comes through what feels like the end—despair, doubt, and even death. Based on Luke 24:1–7, this sermon reminds us that before the resurrection, there was confusion and heartbreak—but Jesus overcame it all. If you've ever felt hopeless, discouraged, or spiritually lifeless, you're right where new life begins. Through faith in who Jesus is, what He said, and what He did, you can experience true, abundant life. Resurrection isn't just an event—it's the entry point to revival.

In Made Right, we dive into Romans 3:21-31 to understand how we are justified—not by works, but by faith in Jesus Christ. This powerful message reveals that God, in His righteousness, made a way to turn His wrath from us through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. He is both the just Judge and the gracious Justifier. Our right standing with God doesn't come through law-keeping, pride, or performance, but through the “law of faith” that levels the playing field for all—Jew and Gentile alike. When we believe, we fulfill what the law could never accomplish on its own: true righteousness through Christ alone.

In Palms of Praise, we explore Luke 19:28–40 and the powerful moment Jesus entered Jerusalem as the Prince of Peace, riding humbly on a donkey to fulfill ancient prophecy. This message reminds us that praise is more than a response—it's a weapon. Our lifted hands and loud voices invite Christ into our broken places, honor His mighty works, and shake the enemy's confidence. From the house of affliction to the foundation of peace, Jesus chose to enter our lives. When we praise Him in faith—especially in advance—we declare victory, confuse the enemy, and honor the King who came to save us.

Bowman, Executive Director and CEO of Professional Educators of Tennessee, to explore a groundbreaking model of public sector labor relations: collaborative conferencing. Bowman explains how Tennessee moved away from adversarial collective bargaining toward a more cooperative, teacher-driven process that empowers educators while avoiding exclusive representation and political entanglements.They discuss how the model works in practice, its bipartisan origins, the role of multiple organizations at the table, and why it might serve as a blueprint for reform in other states like Pennsylvania. With stories from the field and a clear-eyed view of the pitfalls of adversarial labor relations, this conversation offers a compelling case for a new path forward in teacher representation.

In Standing Right, we explore Romans 3:21-26 and the foundation of our righteousness through faith in Christ.

In this week's episode, we dive into Part II of "Saints Ain't", exploring what it truly means to live as saints set apart for Christ. Drawing from Romans 1:1-7 and Matthew 4, we confront the lies of materialism and the fleeting nature of worldly prestige, reminding ourselves that we belong to Jesus Christ, not to our belongings. Through Scripture and reflection, we uncover how possessions and popularity can distract us from our true identity in Christ. Join us as we challenge the cultural obsession with status and stuff, and learn how prayer, fasting, and seeking God's kingdom first can loosen the grip of worldly desires. This episode is a call to live unshaken by the opinions of others, rooted in the truth that saints ain't what they have or what others think—they are defined by God's love and purpose.

In this powerful episode, "Saints Ain't", we dive into Romans 1:1-7 to explore what it truly means to be set apart as saints of God. Pastor David Osborne unpacks the transformative truth that sainthood is not about performance, tasks, or titles—it's about identity rooted in Christ. Drawing from Paul's introduction to the Romans, this message reminds us that our calling, roles, and assignments are not the source of our identity. Instead, we gain purpose and security through being who God has called us to be. Discover how to step off the stage of performance and into the freedom of belonging to Jesus.

The message, "This Kind of Heart," rooted in Romans 2:1-4, explores the transformative power of a heart aligned with God's grace and humility. It calls for revival through repentance, emphasizing that condemning others only brings judgment upon ourselves, as true brokenness leads to compassion for others. Recognizing God as the ultimate judge liberates us from judgmentalism and hypocrisy, fostering an emotionally healthy spirituality characterized by vulnerability, kindness, and humility. God's patience and kindness are not to be overlooked but embraced as an invitation to turn from sin and experience lasting change. This kind of heart reflects God's mercy and leads to obedience that aligns with His will.

In this powerful New Year's Revival Celebration episode, we dive into Joshua 8:1-3, 25-29, where God's promise to Joshua and the Israelites demonstrates how faith, family, and future are restored and reignited with Jesus. Learn how we can Run It Back for our faith, rebuilding and reigniting it through God's commands, and how our families can submit to His will, secure victory, and claim the inheritance He has promised. Discover how God gives us the vision for our future, fulfilled through His revival, bringing forth blessings and restoration. This message inspires us to embrace the power of revival with Jesus in every area of our lives.

In this episode of Soar Like Jesus, we dive into the battle between Israel and Ai, drawing parallels between the dangers of artificial idols, distractions, and influences in our lives today. Using the story from Joshua 7:1-5, we explore how misplaced trust in technology, like self-driving cars and virtual assistants, can lead to disappointment and confusion. We learn how unchecked desires and artificial interests can distract us from our true purpose, and how the pursuit of temporary gain can ultimately discredit us. This powerful message reminds us that we need the Lord not just in times of struggle, but especially when we're winning, gifted, and blessed.

In this uplifting episode of Soar with Jesus, Pastors David and Lydia Osborne reflect on the timeless message of Christmas from Luke 2:8-21. They explore how the birth of Jesus brings joy to the world and emphasizes that, despite life's busyness, we should overlook the small distractions and focus on the love of Christ as the greatest gift. With insights into the powerful role of faith, peace, and gratitude, this conversation invites listeners to celebrate the true meaning of the season and soar in the joy that only Jesus can provide.

SURVIVAL OR REVIVAL? Are you surviving or truly living?

Drawing from Scripture, each episode dives into reviving dreams, vision, and lifestyle by embracing God's purpose. Join us as we move beyond survival and step into a thriving, Spirit-led life!

In this episode, "Stand and Stones" inspired by Joshua 4:1-9, 21-24 (NLT), challenges and inspire you to anchor your faith through trials, celebrate God's miracles, and build a legacy that declares His power. Key Takeaways: Stand in the Middle Explore the act of unwavering faith as the Israelites stood in the middle of the Jordan River, an impossible feat made possible by God's command. Learn why standing firm in the midst of adversity and seeking God's wisdom is essential in today's complex world (James 3:15-18). Stand with Your Stone Discover the significance of the memorial stones carried by the Israelites—symbols of miracles that remind us of God's faithfulness (Psalm 18:1-3). Reflect on how your personal “stones” can serve as testimonies of God's past deliverances and unending strength. Stand with Your Stone Story Understand the importance of sharing your story. Just as the Israelites were instructed to tell future generations about their crossing, we too are called to share our journeys of faith to inspire others and honor Christ, the Chief Cornerstone (Psalm 118:22-23, Ephesians 2:19-22). Join us as we explore how standing firm in faith and memorializing God's work in our lives can uplift and sustain not only ourselves but generations to come. Embrace your stones—for they testify to the miraculous and point to the eternal foundation, Jesus Christ.

Introduction:The message "I'm Down for Whatever" calls believers to a wholehearted commitment to Jesus. It draws inspiration from the Israelites' obedience in Joshua 1:10-17, challenging us to embrace a mindset of radical faith and surrender. We identify three key takeaways for those ready to be "Whatever Warriors" for Christ: 1. Whatever Jesus Has Done, Tell People! Joshua 1:11a encourages us to "go through the camp and tell the people." Sharing your testimony isn't just a duty; it's a powerful act that strengthens the faith of others and emboldens your own. Revelation 12:11 reminds us that we overcome "by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony." This means being prepared to give a reason for our hope in Christ with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15-16). 2. Whatever Provisions You Need Are in His Word Just as the Israelites were instructed to prepare provisions before crossing the Jordan (Joshua 1:11), believers today must feed on God's Word for spiritual sustenance. Whether milk for the immature (1 Corinthians 3:1-3) or solid food for the mature (Hebrews 5:12-14), God's Word equips us for the journey ahead. In our walk with Christ, we must progress from spiritual infancy to maturity, developing the discernment to handle life's challenges. 3. Whatever Rest You Need Is in Jesus Joshua 1:14-15 speaks of a rest given by God, which echoes Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Rest isn't simply a state of physical relaxation; it encompasses soul, mind, spiritual, and physical rest. It requires humility and casting our anxieties onto Jesus (1 Peter 5:5-7). True rest is found not in our past struggles, but in releasing our burdens to Him. Conclusion:The "Whatever Warrior" is ready to do whatever Jesus commands, trusting in His promises and resting in His provision. As we soar with Jesus in Season 3, let's cast off what no longer serves us—our worries, pride, sin, and past—and fully commit to following wherever He leads. Response:Declare to the Lord, "I'm down for whatever!" Are you ready to be a Whatever Warrior?

In this powerful service, we call on the warriors of faith to rise and prepare for battle. Drawing from the inspiring words of Joshua 1:1-11, where God commands Joshua to lead His people into the Promised Land, we reflect on the themes of courage, unity, and readiness for spiritual warfare. Message Highlights: Warriors are Tribal for UnityAs God told Joshua, “Now then, you and all these people…” (Joshua 1:2), we are reminded that warriors are not lone fighters but are formed together in unity. Just as Philippians 1:27-30 teaches us to strive as one for the faith, we are a tribe, bound together to fulfill God's mission. Warriors are Trained to Be ReadyLike Joshua was instructed to cross the Jordan into the land God promised, we must be prepared to fight for the promises God has set before us. Psalm 144:1-2 reminds us that God trains our hands for battle, preparing us to face the challenges ahead. As we soar with Jesus, we equip ourselves with His Word, prayer, and worship to stand strong in spiritual warfare. Warriors are Territorial for VictoryGod promised Joshua, “I will give you every place where you set your foot” (Joshua 1:3-4). As warriors, we are called to claim the spiritual territories God has set for us. Through availability, teachability, and flexibility, we increase God's glory and His work in our lives. As Romans 11:33 says, God's wisdom is beyond measure, and He calls us to remain humble and open to His divine guidance. Our Weapons: The Word of God: Our sword in spiritual battles (Ephesians 6:17). The Spirit in Prayer: The power behind our prayers (Ephesians 6:18). Worship as Our War Cry: A shout of victory, rallying warriors for God's triumph (Isaiah 42:10-13). Final Call: Warriors, the time is now to step into your calling. Rise in unity, be ready for the fight, and claim the victory that God has already promised. "Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9). Warriors, Come Out to Play!

The NEA included the question within its May 2024 National Educator Survey. The poll question states: Below are some statements about Joe Biden. For each one, please indicate whether this statement raises very serious concerns, serious concerns, minor concerns, or no real concerns about Joe Biden. Biden has given Benjamin Netanyahu billions of dollars in weapons, including 2,000-pound bombs that have killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza. He continues to support Israel's war in Gaza even though they've killed 14,000 children and babies and children are starving to death, according to the United Nations.

Join host David Osborne and guest Christian Barnard (Assistant Director of Education Reform at Reason Foundation) as they delve into the intricate dynamics behind the stagnant teacher salaries despite soaring investments in education. In this thought-provoking podcast, they dissect the complexities of benefit costs, labor policies, and union subsidies that divert crucial funds away from instructional salaries. Through insightful discussions, they shed light on how addressing these systemic issues could pave the way for a much-needed reevaluation of teacher compensation. Later in the episode, the focus shifts to the challenges faced by teacher unions in advocating for fair wages, exploring topics such as incentives, compensation structures, and the fiscal impact of pension obligations. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping teacher salaries and the path towards meaningful change in education.
