Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down last week's oral arguments in Wolford v. Lopez, which saw a majority of the Supreme Court justices express skepticism toward the legality of Hawaii's "Vampire Rule" gun carry law. We also talk about the ATF's new proposal to redefine who counts as an "unlawful drug user" for the purposes of federal gun law.

Definition and Sources of Oxalates- Oxalates are natural compounds produced by plants and found in various foods. - High consumption of oxalates can lead to toxicity, particularly affecting calcium absorption. - Common sources of oxalates include sweet potatoes, spinach, and certain nuts, which can exacerbate health issues.Health Implications of Oxalates- Excessive oxalate consumption can correlate with numerous health problems, including kidney stones and connective tissue disorders. - Sally Norton shares her personal journey, linking her health issues to oxalate intake, particularly from sweet potatoes. - There is a growing recognition that many individuals may be affected by oxalate toxicity, often without awareness.Dietary Recommendations - A low-oxalate diet is crucial for managing health issues related to oxalates, especially for individuals with a history of kidney stones. - Increasing calcium intake can help mitigate oxalate absorption in the intestines, thus promoting excretion. - Foods high in citrate, such as lemon juice, can also support kidney health and help prevent stone formation.Role of Supplements- Vitamin C and collagen supplementation can elevate endogenous oxalate production, which can worsen oxalate-related health issues. - Calcium supplements are beneficial but should be approached cautiously to avoid exacerbating oxalate dumping symptoms. - Potassium is essential for restoring health impacted by oxalates, aiding in vascular and kidney function.Symptoms and Management of Oxalate Dumping- Oxalate dumping can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, fatigue, and changes in mood, often exacerbated by dietary changes. - Strategies for managing oxalate dumping include carefully timed oxalate intake and monitoring bodily responses. - Observing physical signs such as cloudy urine or skin irritations can indicate oxalate clearing and guide dietary adjustments.Long-Term Considerations and Conclusions - Understanding the long-term impact of oxalate consumption is still evolving, with limited longitudinal studies available. - The complexity of oxalate-related health issues necessitates a personalised approach, as individual responses vary. - Continuing education on oxalates is crucial, as many dietary guidelines may promote foods high in oxalates, potentially harming health.00:07 - Oxalates are natural compounds that can cause health issues when consumed in excess.02:24 - Dietitians are undervalued, leading to misperceptions about the importance of nutrition.06:39 - Health consequences of misunderstood dietary advice on oxalate-rich foods.08:43 - Oxalates can lead to connective tissue disorders and chronic pain.13:14 - Oxalates and uric acid contribute to kidney stones and gout inflammation.15:16 - Oxalate dumping can cause extreme discomfort and requires mitigation strategies.19:06 - Understanding oxalate management in a carnivore diet.20:53 - Tea strength and citrate are key for managing oxalate levels.24:30 - Dietary shifts impact metabolism and may lead to tooth sensitivity.26:21 - Oxalates can significantly impact heart and kidney health.30:02 - Calcium helps excrete oxalates but requires careful management.31:45 - Oxalate affects calcium regulation and can be managed with dietary adjustments.

Most leaders understand the importance of health—but few actually live it out consistently.  In this episode, we're continuing our series on The Five Spheres of an H2 Leader with a focus on the second sphere: Health. This isn't just about eating better or working out more. It's about living integrated and aligned to your values and needs. Here's what we unpack: The Definition of a Healthy Leader A healthy leader lives integrated and aligned to their values and needs. Integrated means what you say matches what you do. Aligned means nothing is wearing down in the background—no misalignment that causes pain elsewhere in your life or leadership. Aspirational vs. Actual Values Most organizations have values on the website. But are they aspirational (who we want to be) or actual (who we really are)? If you say you value rest but never take a day off, that's an aspirational value—not an actual one. This episode challenges you to audit the gap between what you say and what you do. Understanding Your Needs: Heart, Soul, Mind, Body Leaders have needs. You're not a machine. You're a human with limitations. Using the framework of heart, soul, mind, and body, we explore what drains you, what fills you, and where you're neglecting recovery. High-octane leaders need high-quality fuel and recovery—just like world-class athletes. The Cost of Ignoring Health When leaders don't take care of their needs, there are always consequences. You might feel the pain in a different area—like a misaligned car that wears down the tread. Burnout, decision fatigue, and lost trust are just a few of the costs. The Benefits of Getting Healthy When you increase your health, you increase trust. Trust increases speed and momentum in your organization. You decrease decision fatigue. You build rhythms that feel natural instead of forced. And you become the kind of leader people want to follow—not because you demand it, but because you model it. Reflection Questions: • What values in your life and leadership are aspirational but not actual? • What personal needs do you have that you're not meeting? • Where are you disintegrated—saying one thing but doing another? If you're ready to lead healthy and high-impact in 2026, this episode is your wake-up call. Listen now and take your next right step toward becoming an H2 leader.

They talk through leadership growth, hiring, delegation, and how to maintain vision while scaling, with direct parallels to church leadership. Key Topics & Timestamps Vision as the Foundation (00:00–05:32) Why clear vision needs to come before leadership development Churchfront's mission: "Equip church leaders in spaces with innovative solutions for thriving ministry." The importance of a mission statement, vision statement, and core values A two-day workshop at Ramsey to clarify and communicate vision Natural progression from YouTube creator to leading a 10-person team Key Quote: "If there is no clear vision of where you're trying to bring that organization, then everything else that we're about to talk about with leadership development and scaling an organization is kind of irrelevant because nobody knows where you're going." The Transition from Hands-On to Hands-Off (03:23–07:54) How Jake went from knowing everything to empowering team decision-making Building systems so problems get solved without senior leader involvement Decision-making frameworks around mission, vision, values, and finances When leaders should stay involved vs. when to delegate Team members now have authority and clarity to address issues independently High-risk or costly decisions still require senior leader involvement Key Quote: "It's so cool that my brain, even though I can keep up with a lot of things, I can no longer keep up with all of the cool things that are happening in the business and probably some of the headaches." Hiring A-Players (07:54–13:04) Essential hiring criteria: Mission alignment — genuinely excited about equipping church leaders Self-leadership — evidence of personal discipline (health, appearance, habits) Character references — take time to call references and vet thoroughly Working Genius Assessment — using Patrick Lencioni's framework to build balanced teams Team vetting — multiple team members interview candidates Churchfront Focus: Churchfront only works with churches (not corporate AV, DJ setups, or other venues). Candidates need to genuinely care about the local church. Working Genius Details: $25 assessment (WIDGET acronym) Identifies whether someone leans toward Wonder/Invention vs. Tenacity/Galvanizing traits Helps place people into roles that fit their strengths Recommended for church staff to understand their "genius zones" Key Quote: "If you can't lead yourself, you can't lead others very well." The Challenge of Letting Go (13:37–16:56) Why control is tempting but unsustainable for growth Long-term vision motivates delegation Media/marketing was Jake's original specialty and the hardest area for him to delegate to Matt Over time, Matt learned Jake's standards and expectations Hiring people who are better than you in specific areas Real Examples: Chris installs, rigs, mounts, and runs cable better than Jake Spencer models and drafts 3D spaces faster in Vectorworks James creates better schematics Senior Leader Principle: Leaders should understand all departments without controlling them. Spend a few hours learning the basics so you can make informed decisions about major investments. Church Application: Senior pastors should take Churchfront courses (a couple half-days) to be more informed than most lead pastors when making major AV decisions. Key Quote: "I'm motivated by the long-term vision of where this is going and how big the organization has to go that I'm just like, 'Yeah, I don't need to control everything. I don't want that life where I feel like I have to because I'm just going to be miserable about that.'" Present Leadership Without Micromanaging (17:46–19:40) Weekly team meetings where everyone shares what they're working on Asking: "What did you do last week?" and "What are you working on this week?" (3–10 minutes) Five minutes with each team member can make a huge impact Being present builds trust across the org chart Service businesses succeed based on team health and performance Jake shifted from solo productivity to supporting team members Key Quote: "That five minutes of interaction with one of your team members a week, no matter where they're at in the org chart, goes a long way because they're like, 'Oh wow, our senior leader knows me. I can trust him.'" High-Leverage Activities (19:50–23:16) Definition of leverage: low input, high output—like a tool that multiplies your strength. What Jake focuses on now: Pre-design client conversations — 2–3 hours per project that sets the trajectory for large-budget projects (using Wonder/Invention/Visionary strengths) Media creation — 30 minutes to a few hours can reach thousands (what built Churchfront over 8–10 years) Leader development — multiplication only happens as the team grows from 10+ toward 20–30 For church leaders: Sunday preaching — communication at scale (in-person and online) Developing other leaders — especially in areas where you're less gifted Key Quote: "What can I put lower input into and gives me high output? That's what a lever or a tool is." Leadership Evolution (23:23–25:23) John Maxwell's Five Levels of Leadership (applied): Position — title alone (doesn't get you much) Permission — relationships; people give you permission to lead Productivity — "Follow me because I produce results" (how Churchfront started) Leader development — "Follow me because I'll equip you to lead others" (current focus) Multiplication — creating leaders who create leaders Jake's journey: 2016: solo entrepreneur and highly productive individual Read leadership books and understood the growth track Started with productivity to get things off the ground With 10 people (and aiming for 20–30), he must focus on leader development to reach multiplication Key Insight: Leadership maturity means realizing it's more people-focused than anything else. Advice to 2016 Jake (25:44–28:06) What Jake would tell his younger self: "Buy more Bitcoin" (half-joking) With what he knows now, he could do in 2–3 years what took 10 But he wouldn't rush it—focus on the journey Be a man of good character Follow God Keep sustainable work-life balance Care for spouse and kids Don't rush—God multiplies right inputs into massive outputs Seek wise counsel on business strategy and online marketing Show up and do the work every day For young 20-somethings Jake mentors: Focus on self-leadership and the basics Better strategies exist—learn from wise voices Put in consistent daily work People don't see the late-night edits and behind-the-scenes grind Key Quote: "A lot of people see Churchfront and they're like, 'Wow, it's like 300,000 subscribers. It's a decent sized little business growing a lot.' It's like, yeah, that's after eight to 10 years of just showing up and doing it every single day." Main Themes Don't Throw the Baby Out with the Bathwater As church culture shifts away from overly corporate/produced approaches back toward authenticity, it's still worth keeping the leadership lessons that help organizations run well—especially because leadership often isn't taught deeply in Bible school contexts. Parallels Between Business and Church Leadership Churchfront is a Christian business that prays before meetings and focuses on serving the local church. The leadership principles Jake uses translate directly to church staff leadership, especially for teams of 5–15. The Secret Sauce In service businesses (and churches), the team and people are the product. That's why leader development and team health matter so much. Natural Progression Growth happens in stages. Jake went from being intimidated by the idea of 10 staff members to progressing through each hire and stage—each step building confidence for the next. Practical Takeaways for Church Leaders Clarify your vision first—mission, vision, and core values you return to weekly Hire A-players only—take time, use assessments, and get team input Build decision-making systems so your team can solve problems without you Stay present without micromanaging—even five minutes per person per week helps Focus on high-leverage activities—preaching, leader development, strategic decisions Understand all departments without needing to control them Invest in education—leaders should understand the basics of major spending areas Progress through leadership levels—from productivity to multiplication Prioritize character and self-leadership—in yourself and the people you hire Think long-term—consistent daily effort over 8–10 years creates remarkable results

Definition of Catechism Catechism refers to a structured summary or manual of religious doctrine, typically presented in a question-and-answer format   History of Catechism Early origins The practice of catechesis, or systematic instruction in Christian faith, traces its roots to the New Testament era, where the Greek term katēchein (meaning "to instruct orally") was used for forming disciples and preparing converts for baptism. The earliest known written catechism is the Didache, a brief anonymous treatise composed between 60 and 85 AD During the patristic period (2nd to 5th centuries), key figures contributed foundational works: Cyril of Jerusalem's Catechetical Lectures (4th century) for baptismal preparation, Basil of Caesarea's The Morals, and Augustine of Hippo's Enchiridion on Faith, Hope, and Love (early 5th century These emphasized core elements like the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments, focusing on faith, hope, and charity Catechesis during this time was rigorous, often lasting months or years, to ensure converts were assimilated into Christian life and doctrine. Reformation Era The Protestant Reformation in the 16th century marked a significant revival of catechisms, driven by the need to combat ignorance of basic doctrines among clergy and laity. Martin Luther published his Small Catechism in May 1529 for households and children in 1528 John Calvin followed with a catechism in 1537 Catholics produced the Roman Catechism (also known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent) in 1566 Modern Era Today, catechisms persist across denominations—Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Anglican, and Orthodox—serving as tools for discipleship, though with less emphasis on memorization and more on relational teaching.   So, it's for Children? No it is part of discipleship grounding individuals in truth fostering spiritual maturity guarding against heresies. deeper Bible engagement prayerful reflection accountability through catechism studies. clear Q&As make teaching relational and memorable integrating head knowledge with heart transformation. combats modern challenges like relativism building resilient faith in disciples of all ages.

Bob Schwahn  |  Lead Pastor  |  January 18, 2026 Referenced Scripture: Luke 9:23-24, Ephesians 5:25, Mark 1:14-15, James 2:18-19, Revelation 2:1-5 Reflection Questions: Luke 9:23Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 1) WhoeverWhat were the requirements and pre-qualifications to be a follower of Jesus? Give some examples.What does that say about God that the bar to entry from a cultural perspective was really low? What thoughts might you have had in observing who Jesus chose to be his closest followers? Explain. 2) Wants to be my disciple“Wants” implies it is a choice that we make to follow Jesus or not. Why do you think Jesus would give us a choice and not demand that we love and follow Him? Can love be forced? Explain. 1 John 4:19We love because he first loved us. 3) Must deny themselvesWhat do you think Jesus meant by this? What does this NOT mean? Explain.What has it cost you to follow Jesus? Why is it important to know up front that following Jesus can and will be costly?Is there an area of your life that you find difficult to surrender to Jesus (or an area you find it difficult to follow)? Explain, why? 4) Take up their cross daily and follow me.What did the symbol of the cross mean to a first century person? How is that different from how we view the symbol?Why does that appear to be a “bad marketing” strategy by Jesus? What do you think he was trying to be clear about?How have you experienced humility, suffering, and death as a follower of Jesus?Do you ever experience FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) because you are a follower of Jesus? Explain. Luke 9:24For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.5) Explain what Jesus is promising in this statement. Have you experienced the reality of this promise? Why or why not?6) How do you need to take up your cross TODAY in order to follow Jesus? Why do we need to do this DAILY?7) What do we do if our heart grows cold, hard, tired, or apathetic? Read Revelation 2:1-58) Why is repentance always the answer when we are off track in following Jesus?9) Being an ALL IN follower of Jesus is about DIRECTION and NOT PERFECTION.What does that statement mean?

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. What do you think about when you think about God? Is God tall or short? Mean or kind? Present or distant? Angry or content? All of the above? At some point, we all consider what God is like. Even the most confident atheist had to come up with an understanding of God that they would decide to reject. So, one more time, what do you think about when you think about God?  What you believe about God also shapes how you see yourself. If God is loving, then you are lovable. If God is merciful, then you are more likely to forgive yourself. It doesn't stop there. The way you think about God determines how you love people. A God who keeps score often produces relationships marked by judgment and comparison. A God who delights in mercy forms people who are slower to condemn and quicker to restore. We tend to treat others the way we believe God treats us. So the question matters deeply: What do you think about when you think about God? Because that belief doesn't stay in your head—it moves into your prayers, your self-worth, your relationships, and the way you move through the world. Change your understanding of God, and over time, you change the way you live.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ongk6NssNzQ Premiered on 9 Jan 2026 The IHRA definition of antisemitism was 'declared adopted' by Wes Streeting, UK Health and Social Care Minister in November 2025. Right to Protest Ltd. has launched a judicial review to stop this measure, and defend the ability of all who support Palestine, and opposed genocide to speak freely. Please donate to the legal fund: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/def... The IHRA 'working definition' was NOT designed to be a tool to fight racism. Just the reverse. It is a tool to make ILLEGAL the criticism of Israeli racism: Israeli apartheid, occupation, ethnic cleansing, torture, and mass-murder amounting to genocide. All of which is carried on with full backing of US and Britiain, and our own Labour government. These are the most dreadful and heinous international crimes, in which Wes streeting himself is complicit. The definition is therefore a corrupt tool of political repression behind which he can hide HIS OWN, and the LABOUR GOVERNMENT's complicity in genocide. 1.4 million NHS workers will be subject to its political censorship and repression. The target will be all pro-Palestinian British workers (60-70% of British workers are in sympathy with Palestine, despite the years of incessantly hostile media), and particularly Palestinians, Arabs and muslims. Therefore the IHRA definition, is in fact a RACIST tool of repression, which is already being used to attack pro-Palestine activists, and facilitate the Zionist attacks on progressive, pro-Palestine, anti-genocide British workers.

Hier zum Video Jeder Human Design Typ zeichnet sich durch ganz bestimmte Fähigkeiten, Wahrnehmungspotenziale und damit verbundene Aufgaben aus. Kein Typ kann des Job eines anderen Typen übernehmen. Das gilt für veränderungsintensive Jahr wie das Übergangsjahr 2026 ganz besonders. Denn abhängig davon, welcher Typ Du bist, ist schon die Art und Weise, mit Wandel und Instabilität umzugehen ganz unterschiedlich ausgeprägt. Vielleicht wunderst Du Dich manchmal, warum manche Menschen ganz einfach Neuerungen in ihr Leben integrieren können, während andere dafür mehr Zeit brauchen und manche sie am liebsten ganz vermeiden würden. Vielleicht fragst Du Dich, wohin es für Dich in 2026 und darüber hinaus gehen wird oder welche konkreten nächsten Schritte jetzt für Dich anstehen. Dann ist diese Podcastfolge für Dich. Die Energie der Typen hängt von den definierten Zentren ab - und dabei spielt das Sakral-Zentrum die wichtigste Rolle, denn seine Definition prägt die sakrale Welt - den Typus den Generators und des MGs. Diese Menschen sind ja die Erbauer und dafür zuständig auch die neue Welt zu erschaffen. Interessanterweise: das Sakral-Zentrum ist, aufgrund seiner Torqualitäten aber gar nicht dafür bekannt, sehr flexibel und veränderungsbereit zu sein. Nur 2 Tore aus dem individuellen Schaltkreis des Wissens treiben die Mutation voran. Fast alle anderen sind aus Schaltkreisen - dem Kollektiv und dem Stamm - die eher das Vertraute lieben und sich nicht leicht und gerne auf ganz Neues einlassen. In dieser Folge gehen wir erst dem Sakral-Zentrum und dann den Typen mit ihrer ganz spezifischen Ausrichtung auf den Grund. Du erfährst, warum Generatoren und MGs sich klassischerweise etwas schwerer tun mit Veränderungen, während Projektoren, Manifestoren und Reflektoren geradezu darin aufblühen können. Auch gehe ich darauf ein, welche Rolle jeder einzelne Typ im Veränderungsprozess 2026 hat, worauf Du achten darfst und was Du besser vermeiden solltest. Ich wünsche Dir viele gute Erkenntnisse und hoffe, Du kannst viel mitnehmen. Wenn Du Lust hast, mit mir und meinem Team auf Human Design Reise zu gehen, meld Dich jetzt zum nächsten Living Your Design Kurs an. Wir starten am 23.1.2026.

Today we are here to dive deep into the realities of balancing professional success with personal fulfillment with my guest growth strategist, leadership advocate, Tedx and keynote speaker Chantell Preston.   From founding, scaling, and exiting several ventures to overseeing multimillion-dollar facilities to serving on multiple boards, Chantell has made it her mission to advocate for authenticity among women leading in the workforce. She has won many awards for her leadership work and has been featured in numerous news outlets such as nbc, abc, fox, you name it.    Misconceptions high achievers have about work-life balance?

Mohini Kissoon: When Politeness Becomes the Enemy of Team Growth—Escaping the Conflict Avoidance Trap Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Conflict isn't the enemy. It's when we're avoiding conflict that it becomes an issue for teams." - Mohini Kissoon   Mohini shares a story about the worst self-destructive pattern she has witnessed: teams that are overly polite to avoid addressing conflicts. She worked with a team that prided themselves on being collaborative and drama-free, but beneath that politeness was a hesitancy to have difficult conversations. It started small—in sprint planning, the Product Owner would propose unrealistic scope, and people would just nod and accept. Someone might say "that's quite ambitious," but no one would actually push back. In retrospectives, feedback was always wrapped in layers of positive framing. When a developer consistently delivered work that didn't meet the Definition of Done, no one called it out directly—they just quietly fixed it or worked around it. After three months, side conversations started emerging where people would pull Mohini aside to share concerns they would never voice in the room. The team was skipping the storming phase of the Tuckman model, and this avoidance eventually led to missed deadlines and frustrated stakeholders. The key learning: healthy conflict brings the energy teams need to innovate and grow.   In this segment, we talk about the Tuckman model and why the storming phase is essential for team development.   Self-reflection Question: Is your team's harmony genuine collaboration, or is it a facade hiding unspoken frustrations that will eventually surface at the worst possible moment? Featured Book of the Week: Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet Mohini discovered Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet at a time when she was working with multiple teams and feeling exhausted from being the person everyone looked to for answers. She thought that's what servant leadership meant, but she was actually creating dependency rather than capability. The book tells the story of how Marquet took command of the worst-performing submarine in the US Navy and transformed it into the best by fundamentally changing how leadership worked. "Instead of the traditional leader-follower model, he built a leader-to-leader structure where everyone was expected to think, decide, and own their work," Mohini explains.  The key insight was that we don't just empower teams—we need to build an environment where they can grow and don't need permission to excel. This shifted Mohini's approach: instead of saying "here's what I think we should do," she started asking "what have you tried so far? What do you intend to do next?" The book also emphasizes that pushing decision-making down requires providing the knowledge and context teams need to make good decisions.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Building a Resilient Faith: A Synthesis of Key Themes Executive Summary This document synthesizes the core themes from a sermon delivered on the first Sunday of 2026 by Zach, a youth pastor. The central argument posits that the start of a new year should not be viewed as a simple "reset," as life's troubles do not magically disappear. Instead, the focus should be on building a resilient faith—the capacity to press on and grow stronger through struggle and hardship. Grounded in the scripture of John 16:33, the message presents two definitive truths: trouble in this world is inevitable, but this trouble is not final because Jesus has "overcome the world." This victory makes peace and confidence possible even amid life's most difficult seasons. The sermon provides a practical, three-question framework for developing this resilience: identifying the specific trouble ("What's happening?"), shifting focus to foundational truths about God ("What is true no matter what?"), and taking ownership of one's response ("What can you do?"), primarily through prayer and engagement with a church community. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. The Premise: Rejecting a "Reset" Mentality The sermon begins by challenging the conventional notion of the New Year as a monumental fresh start. It argues that while the calendar resets, personal burdens and ongoing struggles are carried over from one day to the next. • Critique of New Year's Superficiality: The speaker describes New Year's as a "weird holiday" where "nothing magically, like, disappears when it's January 1st." Problems from the previous week or year do not vanish when the clock strikes midnight. • Introducing Resilience as the Core Focus: Instead of concepts like "refresh or reset," the proposed theme for the new year is resilience. • Definition of Resilience: Resilience is defined as "our ability to move forward and grow stronger after we've struggled or failed or faced hard stuff in our life" and "our resolve to press on even when we feel so worn down or just ready to throw in the towel." II. The Challenge: Doubt and the Temptation to Quit The message explores how hardship and a lack of immediate results can lead to doubt and the temptation to abandon one's faith journey. This is illustrated through the speaker's personal anecdotes of quitting karate, soccer, and reading The Lord of the Rings as a child because he "couldn't see the value in moving forward" or "couldn't see the results quick enough." • The Slippery Slope of Doubt: When individuals feel worn down, doubt begins to seep in, particularly in their faith. This doubt manifests as a series of challenging questions directed at God. • Questions Arising from Hardship: The sermon provides specific examples of questions that emerge during difficult times: ◦ "Is God still worth following? If my family still is broken..." ◦ "Is God still loving? If I'm still battling with depression..." ◦ "Is God still as good as he says he is? Even when I don't see him showing up the way I want him to..." ◦ "Why should I keep doing this?" III. The Theological Foundation: John 16:33 The sermon's central argument is built upon Jesus's words in John, chapter 16, verse 33. This scripture is presented in the context of Jesus preparing his disciples for his imminent betrayal, arrest, and crucifixion—what the speaker calls "some of the worst trouble that his disciples have experienced in their lifetime." John 16:33: "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcome the world." This verse is broken down into two definitive, non-negotiable statements. A. The Certainty of Trouble: "In this world you will have trouble." This is presented as a fundamental truth of the human condition. • An Inescapable Reality: Trouble is not a possibility but a guarantee in a world described as an "incomplete" and "broken" plane of existence. Therefore, experiencing hardship should not be shocking. • Historical Context: The disciples, as "lower income Jewish men living in the Roman Empire," would have deeply resonated with this statement. For them, every day was a battle, and speaking against authority could lead to death. • Jesus's Own Experience: Jesus himself was speaking these words just before he would be "arrested, flogged, beaten, crucified." He was about to experience "the worst trouble." B. The Proclamation of Victory: "But take heart, I have overcome the world." This statement is the essential counterpoint, offering hope and a foundation for resilience. • Trouble is Not the End: Jesus's victory over the world through his death and resurrection ensures that trouble "is not going to be the end all be all to your life." As the speaker states, "Trouble is not the end for you, church. Whatever you face in your life, it's not the period in the sentence of your life." • Peace Becomes Possible: Because of Jesus's victory, peace is accessible regardless of the season or hardship one faces. This is a peace that comes from a "God who has been through it, who walks in it with you, and who has made a way for that trouble to only be temporary." • The Nature of Resilient Faith: A resilient faith is defined as "one that never gives up on God" because it is rooted in the truth that God has overcome life's worst struggles. IV. A Practical Framework for Building Resilience To move from theological principle to practical application, the sermon offers a three-question process to guide individuals through moments of trouble. QuestionPurpose & Explanation1. What's happening?To be honest and specific about the trouble being faced. This involves identifying the source of the struggle, whether it's a person who caused disappointment, an event beyond one's control, or even a fellow Christian whose actions have caused questioning.2. What is true no matter what?To shift perspective from immediate circumstances to the unchanging truths of God. This is not a "quick fix" and does not make the trouble less real, but it helps one focus on the reality that God is loving, in control, good, and present.3. What can you do?To focus on controllable attitudes and actions in response to trouble. While one may not be able to fix the entire situation, one always has a say in their personal response. V. Key Actions for Cultivating Resilience The framework leads to two specific, actionable steps for building a resilient faith in 2026. A. Prioritizing Prayer Prayer is presented not as a final, desperate act, but as a proactive first step. • Prayer as a First Step: A key quote emphasizes this point: "Prayer is not a last resort. Prayer is not a Hail Mary we throw when we feel like we have no other option. Prayer is a first step..." • An Invitation to God: Prayer is the act of bringing a situation to God and inviting Him to "have his way in it." The message reassures that God is not "scared by your questions or your doubt" or "thrown off by it." B. Engaging in Community Deep involvement in the church body is highlighted as a critical component of resilience. • The Role of the Church: The speaker encourages the congregation to "go deep into life with such a group of people" to lean on one another for support. • Refocusing and Growth: The community serves to "help refocus ourselves when things seem too troublesome and hard to see the truth." Mutual support is essential for growth and maintaining perspective. VI. Conclusion: The Call to Respond The sermon concludes with an invitation for the congregation to respond to the message in a tangible way. • An Invitation to Prayer: Attendees are invited to pray, either alone or with designated individuals (wearing green lanyards), during the final song. • Unburdening and Discovery: The moment is framed as an opportunity to be "open and honest with him about what you are walking through" and to "unburden yourself." It is a chance for one's resilience to grow by discovering a Jesus "who is here with us now and who has overcome the world." • Final Affirmation: The closing prayer reaffirms God as one "who sees us, who has met us where we are," and who has overcome life's troubles so that believers might know "real peace and have real eternal life."

Many philosophers have contemplated the inevitability of death and taxes. But despite knowing both are coming, most people avoid planning for either until it's too late. What happens when you die without a proper estate plan? What's the difference between a will and a trust? And why does the government already have an estate plan for you—whether you like it or not?This episode tackles estate planning head-on. Hans walks through the foundational concepts from his CLU coursework while Brian shares the painful reality of navigating Pennsylvania's probate system after losing his mother. The contrast is striking: life insurance proceeds arrived within a week, tax-free and hassle-free. Everything else? A year-long nightmare involving shyster attorneys, arbitrary timelines, and a state government eager to collect its pound of flesh.The episode also addresses a critical oversight many families make: naming minor children as contingent beneficiaries on life insurance policies. Insurance companies cannot pay minors directly, which reintroduces the exact inefficiencies you were trying to avoid. One possible solution? Establish a trust and name it as your contingent beneficiary.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment02:00 – Why estate planning matters for everyone03:30 – Brian's probate experience in Pennsylvania07:30 – The one-year waiting period and attorney fees11:45 – Life insurance: the easiest transfer by far15:00 – Definition of estate planning: accumulate, manage, conserve, transfer17:30 – Effective vs. efficient transfers explained19:45 – The three places your assets can go24:00 – Federal estate tax: 40% above the exemption29:00 – The five-year thought exercise37:00 – Minor children as beneficiaries: the hidden problem43:30 – What would change if you had five years left?54:00 – Heritage over inheritance: passing down more than money59:05 - Closing SegmentKey Takeaways:You Already Have an Estate Plan: If you haven't created one, the government has a default plan for you—and it prioritizes creditors and bureaucratic process over your family's needs.A Will Is Not Enough: Wills direct the probate court on asset distribution, but assets still go through a lengthy, costly, public legal process. Trusts bypass probate entirely.Life Insurance Skips the Mess: Death benefits transfer directly to beneficiaries, tax-free, within days—no court involvement, no waiting periods, no attorney fees.Don't Name Minors as Beneficiaries: Insurance companies cannot pay children directly. Name a trust as your contingent beneficiary to maintain efficiency and control.The Five-Year Exercise Changes Everything: If you knew your exact death date, your priorities would shift immediately. Use that clarity now—maximize protection, spend time with family, stop deferring what matters.Estate Planning Is for the Living: Half of estate planning—accumulation and management—happens while you're alive. This isn't just about death; it's about building and protecting wealth today.Visit https://remnantfinance.com for more informationFOLLOW REMNANT FINANCEYoutube: @RemnantFinance (https://www.youtube.com/@RemnantFinance )Facebook: @remnantfinance (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560694316588 )Twitter: @remnantfinance (https://x.com/remnantfinance )TikTok: @RemnantFinanceDon't forget to hit LIKE and SUBSCRIBEGot Questions?

Is chaos something to fear or something we can leverage? Kevin sits down with Kevin Black to discuss why chaos isn't inherently good or bad and how leaders can prepare to succeed in it. Kevin Black explains how natural behaviors, deeply rooted in our personality and life experiences, influence our reactions to chaos and shape team dynamics. He shares his chaos model, which features a taxonomy of control outcomes, from anarchy to deliberate resistance, and how leaders can identify and respond to each stage. They also discuss the four components of constructive chaos and how mishandling these can lead a team into destructive chaos.

Annika Sala lebt zwischen Welten: geboren in Mexiko, verwurzelt in Europa, und jedes Jahr mehrere Monate in China, um Kung Fu zu trainieren. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Disziplin, die sich nicht wie Zwang anfühlt, sondern wie Freiheit. Über Stille, die Klarheit schafft. Über Schmerz als Lehrer — und darüber, wie Struktur den Geist beruhigt und den Weg sichtbar macht.Annika erzählt, warum sie ihren Komfort bewusst reduziert hat, wie sie Kung Fu ohne Sprache lernt und weshalb „Zuhause“ kein Ort ist, sondern ein Zustand im Herzen. Es geht um den Mut, sich von Erwartungen zu lösen, um die Rolle von Frauen in der Filmwelt, und um eine neue Definition von Disziplin: als Kunst, ein ewiger Schüler des Lebens zu bleiben.Eine Episode über Fokus, innere Ruhe und die Frage, wie man in einer lauten Welt integer bleibt.
