What's the difference between a tree that survives a drought and one that doesn't? It's what's happening underground, long before the dry season hits.In this episode, we kick off a new series on the practices that form a disciple, starting with Scripture. We look at Psalm 1's tree planted by streams of water, unpack what 2 Timothy means by Scripture that "equips" us, and dig into John Wesley's own life — why his Oxford classmates mocked him as a "Bible moth," and what he meant calling himself "a man of one book." Plus, a simple, centuries-old method for reading Scripture you can use this week.Whether you're new to reading the Bible or you've been at it for years, this one's an invitation to send your roots a little deeper.

What controls you?In week 5 of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we start looking at what spiritual growth actually produces in the life of a Christian - beginning with the real fruit of self-control.In Galatians 5:13-17 we see that Jesus came to free us from being controlled by our sinful desires so that we can live by the Spirit and choose to love God and others.But, what does that look like when you really want to keep scrolling? When you want to send the angry message? When you want to fit in with the crowd, or get your own way?In this episode, we explore what self-control looks like in te life of a Christian. Surprisingly, it's not so much about becoming really good at controlling yourself. Instead, It's about letting Jesus be in charge and discovering the freedom that only He brings.Speaker: Sam FosterSeries: Deep Roots, Real FruitTopic: Self-ControlBible Passage: Galatians 5:13-17Date: 21/08/26 T3 W5Website: restawe.com
This episode is a supplementary full interview with Associate Professor Jonathan Robins from Episode 3 of the Edible Empire podcast series. Here, we trace the global impact of the palm oil industry from its indigenous roots to modern supply chains.

“Maybe there’s a person who’s written a book, or a professor who’s done some kind of research, and then they build a curriculum based on that perfectly wonderful approach to things. But that is not the Hoffman Process, right? Because, really, Bob Hoffman understood things more intuitively. …This is a wisdom tradition program.“ – Jo Mattoon Welcome to season 13 of Love’s Everyday Radius.

That we are human beings. We are part of a much larger whole. Moment by moment, we are doing the best we can, learning and trying with care and love. If we learn this, things become much easier to deal with. Kristin also writes about Fierce Self-Compassion, as diagrammed below.

Can you really follow Jesus on your own?In this week of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we look at church - not as a building or an institution, but as God's people gathering together. From Hebrews 10:24-25, we see that Christians aren't meant to do life or faith alone. God grows his people as we encourage, challenge and spur one another on toward love and good deeds.But why do we need other Christians? And what happens when we decide we don't need church?We explore how God has made us relational beings, why the Bible describes the church as a body with many different parts, and why our differences aren't a problem to overcome but a gift from God. You need the church - and the church, perhaps, needs you.Church isn't about finding a bunch of people who are just like you.It's about gathering around Jesus with people who aren't.Speaker: Sam FosterSeries: Deep Roots, Real FruitTopic: ChurchBible Passage: Hebrews 10:24-25Date: 14/08/26 T3 W4Website: restawe.com
I've known Jack Bark since he was a little kid; when he would be onboard his dad's escort boat during the Catalina Classic Paddleboard Race. Jack is one of the four children of paddling icon and master board builder, Joe Bark; so he's been immersed in the paddling world since birth. It is definitely in his blood. I've been around to watch him go from a young gun to becoming one of the most accomplished prone paddling athletes of his generation. The apple has not fallen far from the tree. Jack shares the stories of growing up in the awesome Bark household; surfing, fishing, spearfishing, paddling, growing up on boats and in the water from a very young age. If you know the Barks, you know Jack is part of paddling royalty; and the coolest, most inclusive and humble people you'll ever meet. Jack has established himself as one of the world's premier prone paddling athletes and has earned multiple prone paddling championship titles in the sport's most prestigious races. With wins in the Molokai to Oahu race (M2O) he went on to a defining competitive achievement in 2024, when he won the Catalina Classic Paddleboard Race and broke the 25 year long course record. The same year his sister Emily won it. Amazing. With this win he became the first person ever to complete the crossing in under five hours. If you've ever paddled the Catalina Classic, or crossed the Catalina channel on a prone paddleboard you know just how fast that is. Still in his early 30's, Jack is coming up on his 15th Catalina Classic, which is already an incredible accomplishment. It's a family affair as all of the siblings have paddled this iconic race. We'll have to wait and see if Jack pursues his dad's record of completing 38 Classics. You never know… and I would not be surprised. On top of all of this Jack has a long list of extreme endurance, adventure paddles and runs; and he shares the stories, and his why, in this interview. On top of the paddling, Jack is a firefighter, a board builder, a husband (to an amazing waterwoman) and a new dad. It's a heck of a life, and a hell of a story… and it's really just starting. 0:00 – Introducing Jack Bark 6:45 – Jack's Background & Early Life 14:10 – Discovering His Passion & Direction 21:35 – Early Challenges & Defining Experiences 29:05 – Career Turning Points & New Opportunities 36:40 – Overcoming Setbacks & Difficult Moments 44:20 – Discipline, Preparation & Personal Growth 52:05 – Memorable Stories From the Journey 59:50 – Relationships, Community & Mentorship 1:07:35 – Lessons Learned Through Experience 1:16:10 – Future Goals & What Comes Next 1:26:25 – Final Reflections & Closing Thoughts

In this episode of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we look at prayer - what it actually is, why Christians pray, and how Jesus teaches us to pray in Matthew 6. Prayer isn't about using the right words, impressing God, or treating him like a vending machine. It's about talking with our Father and growing in our relationship with him.We explore the Lord's Prayer and how Jesus teaches us to put God, His name, His kingdom and His will first. We also look at some of the reasons we struggle to pray, from doubt and distraction to thinking we can handle life on our own.If God has spoken to us through His Word, prayer is our chance to respond.Speaker: Sam FosterSeries: Deep Roots, Real FruitTopic: PrayerBible Passage: Matthew 6:5-15Date: 07/08/26 T3 W3Website: restawe.com
In week 2 of Deep Roots, Real Fruit, we explore the bible! why do Christians believe the Bible is God's Word and why does it matter for our lives? Looking at 2 Timothy 3, we see that the Bible isn't just a book of human ideas about God, but God revealing himself to us so that we can know him, be changed by him, and grow as his people.But why trust it? The answer ultimately comes back to Jesus. If Jesus really rose from the dead, then we can trust him, and if we trust Jesus, we can trust what he trusted.God has spoken. The question is: will we listen?Speaker: Sam FosterSeries: Deep Roots, Real FruitTopic: The BibleBible Passage: 2 Timothy 3:14-17Date: 31/07/26 T3 W2Website: restawe.com

How do you grow as a Christian? Can you become a better person just by trying harder?The Bible's answer might surprise you. Before it talks about growing good fruit in our lives, it says something far more confronting: dead things don't produce fruit.In the first talk of our new Deep Roots, Real Fruit series, we explore the heart of the gospel. Looking at Ephesians 2, John 15, and Galatians 5, we see that Christianity isn't about making ourselves better. It's about Jesus bringing dead people back to life. Only then does lasting change begin.Real fruit doesn't come from trying harder. It grows naturally in people who are deeply rooted in Christ.Speaker: Sam FosterSeries: Deep Roots Real FruitTopic: Deep Roots 1 - The GospelBible Passage: Ephesians 2:1-10, John 15:1-5, Galatians 5Date: 24/07/26 T3 W1Website: restawe.com
How do leaders remain faithful, fruitful, and grounded over the long haul? In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling sits down with Eric Geiger, Senior Pastor of Mariners Church and author of The Rooted Leader, to explore what it means to cultivate deep roots as a leader. Drawing from the life of Nehemiah, Eric shares why leadership failures rarely happen overnight, what causes leaders to drift from their deepest convictions, and how healthy rhythms help leaders remain steady through seasons of pressure, challenge, and change. Together, Alan and Eric discuss the hidden work of leadership, the importance of tending our inner lives, and why lasting fruitfulness grows from roots that are nourished over time. Whether you lead a church, nonprofit, business, team, or family, this conversation offers wisdom for anyone seeking to lead from a place of depth rather than hurry, pressure, or performance.

Big Idea: 3 deep roots hold stronger than 300 branches. I. Go deeper than virtual.Acts 2:44-46Now all the believers were together and held all things in common. They sold their possessions and property and distributed the proceeds to all, as any had need. Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with joyful and sincere hearts…II. Go deep with only a few.Hebrews 10:24-25And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.III. Go deeper with Jesus.Deuteronomy 31:6Be strong and courageous; don't be terrified or afraid of them. For the Lord your God is the one who will go with you; he will not leave you or abandon you.”Next Steps: Believe: I surrender my soul to Jesus today.Become: I will join a small group this week.Be Sent: I will invite someone into my group this week.Discussion Questions: What makes people hesitant to open their hearts to others?What makes meeting in a small group different from being in a social media relationship?What does it look like to “provoke love” in someone else?How has God grown you through your relationships with others?What are some obstacles that prevent real depth in small groups?Is it possible to grow into the follower Jesus wants you to be while living as a hermit? Explain your answer from Scripture.Pray for someone who is isolated from Jesus's people this week.

Small Town, Deep Roots: Amy Eckert on Building Gideon Realty in Marion, IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town, Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, introduce sponsors, and interview Amy Eckert of Gideon Realty. A lifelong Marion resident, Eckert shares her family background, memories of Marion's downtown-to-mall-to-downtown shift, and her path from part-time jobs and 10.5 years in local radio to homeschooling her sons for 16–17 years after feeling called to do so. She describes leadership experience in multi-level marketing, earning her real estate license in 2017 with mentor Joanna Farrell, later obtaining a managing broker license, and in May of the prior year launching the intentionally small “boutique” Gideon Realty after guidance from Ethos and attorney Martin Parsons. Eckert emphasizes personalized, local, relationship-based service, education for buyers and sellers, and her trademarked tagline, “Small Town, Deep Roots,” and shares how to contact her via Facebook or 618-922-8820.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://www.facebook.com/RealEstateSouthernIllinois/

Key Takeaways: A New Way to Invest: Investing is shifting away from complex financial products and back toward real, tangible assets. This means thinking differently about where you put your money. Focus on Strong Assets: Assets like gold, Bitcoin, and productive land hold real value and can grow over time. These “high-energy” assets are becoming more important in today's economy. Borrow Carefully: Using debt can be helpful, but too much is risky. Keeping borrowing at a safe level—like 20% or less of your assets—can help protect you during market swings. Skills Are Always Valuable: Your skills can't be taken away and will always have value. Continuing to learn and improve helps you stay adaptable in any economy. Avoid Hype and Empty Promises: Not every opportunity is real. Learning to spot the difference between solid investments and misleading offers helps you make smarter financial decisions.

Week 2: Good Soil Needs Deep Roots5/3/2026Main passage: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23There are times when it's easy to follow the Lord. But that's not all the time. If true growth is going to occur then we will need deep roots. Otherwise the trials of this world will scorch our faith and wither our relationship with Jesus. Instead we need to sink roots deep down into the gospel to endure and even thrive in hard times.

This episode of the Green Side Up Podcast is a lively, story-packed conversation featuring Jordan, Jason, and returning guest Erin Alvarez. The trio starts with weekend plans—kayaking, manatees, race car–themed kids' parties, daddy–daughter dances, and tax woes—before drifting into hilarious side tangents about trolling lettuce for manatees, oversized margaritas, and the realities of squeezing tree crews through tight access. From there, Erin shares her winding journey into the green industry: growing up outdoors, bouncing between zoology, political science, and English at UF, burning out on office life at the student newspaper, rediscovering herself through hands-in-the-dirt yard work, and ultimately finding her home in Environmental Horticulture. They dig into UF horticulture culture—plant ID war stories, cheating (or trying to) in physics, the love–hate relationship with Landscape Architecture, and the birth of Deep South Landscaping (DSL) with all its youthful hustle, tax dodging, and terrible-but-memorable merch. The episode wraps by connecting Erin's past to her current role in business development at SkyFrog Landscape, touching on long-game relationship building, commercial maintenance bidding cycles, and future growth, all while maintaining the loose, funny, and unfiltered vibe that defines the show.

When you look at the top restaurants around the world, no matter what cuisine they may focus on, there's one commonality they all share, and that's deep relationships with those who grow and raise the very best ingredients. It's the same in beer—you can't be the best at what you do without the meaningful, personal, financial, and long-standing relationships that ensure the brewery has access to the very best quality ingredients. These relationships don't materialize overnight, but for Firestone Walker, they're the product of 30 years of work. In this series, we highlight a number of these crucial growers, brokers, and processors who have played a role in the world-class beer that Firestone Walker makes. *Episode 2: Deep Roots & Twisting Bines * One of the keys to maintaining a consistent supply of the very best hops is long term relationships and deep commitment paired with the very best analytical science and process improvement, and the purpose of this series is to explore just what that means with some of the key players in this story of ingredient quality. In this episode, Firestone Walker Head Brewer Dustin Kral and Bud Hollingbery of hops broker Hollingbery and Son talk about the way that Hollingbery has worked closely with Firestone Walker for decades now to source and process hops, how current dynamics in the brewing and hops industries are impacting hops growers, and a lot more. Over the years, Bud has seen some remarkable change in the hop industry, and he's not afraid to tell you exactly what he thinks. Intro music: VintageGroove / Pond5
Key Takeaways: Traditional Savings Are Losing Power: Savings accounts and many retirement plans often struggle to keep up with inflation and low interest rates, which can slowly reduce the value of saved money. Bitcoin as a Long-Term Asset: Bitcoin is often seen as a strong investment because its supply is limited. This scarcity can make it useful for long-term savings and wealth growth. Rethink Your Investment Strategy: Instead of relying only on cash savings, some strategies focus on using credit carefully and investing in assets that are scarce and less affected by inflation. Build Strong Financial Roots: A stable financial system stores value in assets that can hold their worth over time, helping protect wealth from inflation. Manage Risk Carefully: Borrowing against investments should be done conservatively. Keeping debt at safe levels helps protect against market changes and financial uncertainty.
