Idols can turn your life inside out. The problem is, you rarely recognize that you're idolizing something in the moment. It usually takes a shock...like a messy separation...to see things clearly. The point of today's episode is to save you from a shock of your own, because I think you'll be able to learn from my story. I had a number of idols in my life that were a big part of my separation and all that's happened since. Now, God is so gracious and has given me so many gifts in this time that I never would have had if I didn't go through this, but obviously it would have been 100x better if I'd learned them withOUT the pain. This is your chance. This is an interview I did on the Grace in the Breaking podcast with Elizabeth Harper. In this episode: 0:00 Intro 2:19 From seeking validation to true peace 11:19 Idols 15:52 Rejecting the old and new Vince 26:15 The difference in parenting 30:02 New business direction 36:27 How this has impacted the kids ---

To some Americans, it looked random. To others, it looked reckless. But today we walk through the timeline that led here: nuclear ambitions, long-range missile development, 223 attacks on U.S. bases, and three American troops killed in Jordan. From the 2015 nuclear deal to the October 7 attacks and the renewed funding streams to Tehran, we connect the dots between sanctions relief, proxy warfare, and the targeting of American personnel. Why did the strikes on U.S. bases surge after October 2023? What role did frozen assets and overseas transfers play? And why does President Trump say, “I was the hunted — now I'm the hunter”? This episode lays out the argument behind the operation to dismantle Iran's missile infrastructure and prevent a nuclear-armed regime from threatening U.S. troops, allies, and potentially the American homeland. Primary Entities & Figures Discussed Donald Trump Joe Biden Mike Pompeo Barack Obama Hamas October 7 attacks in Israel U.S. base casualties in Jordan Financial transfers routed through Oman Episode Breakdown 1️⃣ Nuclear Ambitions & Missile Expansion Iran rejects opportunities to curb its nuclear program Continued development of long-range missile systems Potential reach into Europe and eventual U.S. homeland capability 2️⃣ October 2023 Turning Point Surge of 223 attacks on U.S. and coalition bases 186 casualties reported 130 traumatic brain injuries 3 U.S. troops killed in Jordan 3️⃣ Sanctions, Frozen Funds & Billions Released Trump-era economic pressure campaign Biden-era asset releases reportedly totaling tens of billions Debate over whether financial relief enabled military expansion 4️⃣ Proxy Warfare & October 7 Role of Hamas as an Iran-backed proxy Claims of Iranian financing, training, and logistical support Renewed transfers following the attacks 5️⃣ Assassination Claims & Domestic Security Alleged Iranian plots targeting U.S. officials Debate over federal response “Hunted vs. Hunter” framing from Trump Signature Soundbite “I was the hunted. Now I'm the hunter.” Core Argument Presented The episode argues that military action was not sudden escalation but a culmination of: Repeated base attacks Ongoing missile expansion Financial resuscitation of the regime Alleged assassination threats The stated objective: Destroy missile capability, dismantle infrastructure, and prevent a nuclear-armed adversary from threatening American troops and territory. Call to Action Was this necessary national defense — or dangerous escalation?

That You May Believe, Part 5 John 2:12-25 John 2:12-25 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days. 13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. 15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” 17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” 18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?” 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. 24 But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people 25 and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. John 2:12 After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days. John 2:13-14 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there. John 2:15-16 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. 16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, “Take these things away; do not make my Father’s house a house of trade.” Mark 11:17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.” Psalm 118:1-4 Oh give thanks to the Lord for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! 2 Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the LORD say, “His steadfast love endures forever.”  John 2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” Psalm 69:7-9 For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach, that dishonor has covered my face. 8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother’s sons. 9 For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.   John 2:18 So the Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”   Malachi 3:1-3 “Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.” John 2:19-22 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. John 2:23-25 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. 24 But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people 25 and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. Luke 16:31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.' Jesus is the new and greater temple.   Haggai 2:9 “The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.” Matthew 12:6 I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. Hebrews 9:11-12 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.   Hebrews 10:19-22 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. The church is the temple of God. 1 Peter 2:4-5 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ   1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.   1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.   What is the purpose of the church?   1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.     Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.   Psalm 51:16-17 For you will not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it; you will not be pleased with a burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.   Respond | Connect | Next Steps The post John: That You May Believe appeared first on Charleston Baptist Church.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, history is repeating dangerous patterns from the 1930s, when advanced Germany descended into Nazism and mass murder through citizen denial, weak politicians' acquiescence, and failure to take threats seriously. Today, Tucker Carlson is echoing Goebbels-style propaganda, siding with Iran and Putin against America while pretending patriotism. Why aren't top Republicans throughout Washington calling out Carlson.  They need to stop whispering about him and speak openly and publicly. The same goes for too many in the media, some of which promote him and some of which field his leaks. Also, how does diplomacy work with a hostile regime that prefers war, terrorism, and has killed over a thousand Americans while maiming tens of thousands? Iran cannot be trusted and any progress in talks or deal is meaningless since the regime will not uphold agreements.  Later, Steve Hilton calls in and discusses his run for California Governor. California has failed after 16 years of one-party Democrat rule. The state has the highest poverty rate, highest unemployment, and highest cost of living - it's time for change.  Finally, Mark Penn calls in and praises President Trump's State of the Union speech as exceptionally powerful, with its effective storytelling, patriotic rhetoric, and emotional-policy blend - contrasting it with past speeches like Bill Clinton's. He also explained that the Democrats appearing to win by losing amid widespread voter unease with the economy and both parties. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles made up one of the greatest linebacker duos in the long history of Ohio State football, and this week at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, the two former Buckeyes put on an absolute show. Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss the ridiculous numbers that Reese and Styles put up, which could lead to both players going in the top-10 or even top-5 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft.

If you live with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or another chronic mental health condition, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is trying to be normal.Normal does not equal healthy.When your brain is prone to going rogue, you cannot afford the same habits most people can. What works for them may quietly destroy you.Society is not built to protect your mental health. And you cannot fix a mood disorder by acting like you don't have one.If you have substantial mental health needs, you need sustainable systems — not quick fixes.This comes from experience. I tried to live “normally.” It did not go well.If my podcast has helped, my new book, The Light Between the Leaves, goes even deeperNext Steps:

The Boston Celtics secured a convincing season sweep of their historic rivals with a 111-89 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Jaylen Brown led the charge with a stellar all-around performance, tallying 32 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists. However, the story of the night was Payton Pritchard, who caught fire from deep to score 30 points, including six 3-pointers. Pritchard's clutch step-back triple with just over three minutes remaining iced the game and sent the Los Angeles crowd to the exits early.This podcast is brought to you by me, Guy DePlacido.

Beyond the scoring outbursts from Brown and Pritchard—who combined for 38 points in the second half alone—the Celtics' defense was stifling, holding the Lakers to their second-lowest point total of the season. Boston now looks to carry this momentum into Tuesday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns as they continue their West Coast road trip.

Domination Derby: Arsenal Destroy Spurs 4-1 Away from Home as Eze Delivers, Raya Recovers and the Premier League Lead Returns to Five PointsArsenal respond in the only way that matters.After pressure built following Manchester City's win, the North London Derby became more than just another fixture — it became a test of control, intent and composure. And from the opening minutes, Arsenal delivered one of the most dominant performances ever seen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.We break down the starting XI decisions, the absence of key names, and the early intensity that set the tone. The discussion then moves into the opening goal — Saka's persistence, Eze's sharp finish — and the familiar frustration of conceding immediately after taking the lead.There's an honest assessment of Declan Rice's error, David Raya's positioning, and whether Arsenal are gifting opponents moments rather than being broken down. But this episode isn't about collapse — it's about response.We analyse Raya's in-game recovery, Gyökeres' growing confidence in front of goal, and the structural adjustments that kept Arsenal on the front foot instead of retreating into caution.

In this powerful episode, I dive into a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to live with grief—not fix it, rush it, or silence it. Drawing from personal experience and the themes we explore in this episode, I unpack how loss reshapes identity, challenges faith, and forces us to confront the parts of ourselves we often avoid. We talk about the waves of grief that return years later, the guilt and unanswered questions that linger, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward. This conversation is for anyone who has ever wondered, "Why does this still hurt?" or "Am I grieving the right way?" Together, we explore how grief evolves, how love continues, and how healing isn't about closure—it's about learning to carry both the pain and the love with intention. If you're navigating loss in any form, this episode offers validation, perspective, and reassurance that you are not alone—and that your grief, in all its complexity, is human.   Check out the book!  The Luckiest Unlucky Couple   Welcome to New Ways Barre.

Over 100 wins. Youngest slalom gold medalist ever. More than a decade at the absolute top.And she's still in disbelief about all of it.The moment that stopped me: when she thinks "I want to win," she never wins. Other athletes can win just by wanting it badly enough. For her, wanting to win is the kiss of death.So what does she think about instead? Making really good turns. That's her entire philosophy. She even calls it boring. But that boring focus built the greatest skiing career in history.She figured this out at age eight, watching her idol Bode Miller get torn apart after disappointing Olympic performances. She saw how pressure and public opinion crushed even the greatest athletes. Right then, she decided: focus on the craft, ignore the glory.That decision protected her from the thing that destroys most champions—believing their own hype.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The wrong business partner will cost you everything. Here's how to know who to trust. Most businesses fail not because of a bad idea, bad product, or bad timing. They fail because of bad PARTNERS. People who don't share your values. People who steal. People who see you as a paycheck instead of a partner. People who make "doggy bags" to take home instead of building the table with you. In this raw conversation, Eric Thomas, CJ Quinney, Karl Phillips, and Jemal King break down the brutal truth about business partnerships - what destroys them, - what makes them work, - Why starting small is the only path to building big, - And real proof this approach works (six-figure real estate checks, zero student debt, generational wealth from $50/paycheck).

Snacks make up a quarter of what most people eat. Yet most of us never question them. In this episode, Professor Sarah Berry, ZOE's Chief Scientist, explains why snacking is not the problem and how seven snack swaps can lower cholesterol, support gut health, and reduce heart disease risk. Most snacks are high in sugar, salt, and saturated fat, and many carry “health” claims that hide this. Sarah breaks down how to spot this, explains what makes a good snack and why snack timing matters. You'll walk away with seven simple snack ideas that help improve cholesterol, blood sugar, and heart health in weeks. If you're a snacker, this may be the easiest place to improve your diet.

It sounds like "who do I think I am?" when you dream about a relationship where someone truly loves you, when you consider financial freedom, when you think about that creative project your friends think is crazy.Lewis gets raw about the inner critic we've all trained. The voice that says you're not smart enough, not talented enough, that you're a failure. He breaks down why we turn failures into identity instead of feedback, why we learned to overwork and overachieve just to feel validated, and why we self-sabotage right before things go well. The shift isn't about ego or thinking you're better than anyone. It's simpler and more profound: worthiness is believing you don't have to punish yourself to deserve a good life. You failed at walking as a baby a thousand times and never called yourself a failure. That same truth applies now. Stop blocking what's trying to reach you.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

New York City is staring down the barrel of another self inflicted crisis and this time it is coming straight from City Hall. Mayor Mamdani is now pushing for higher taxes while simultaneously calling for a raid on the city’s so called rainy day fund. That fund exists for emergencies. Instead he wants to burn through it to prop up a failing fiscal vision built on bigger government and heavier burdens on the very people who keep the city alive. On this episode of Stinchfield, Grant exposes how this dangerous combination of tax hikes and reckless spending could accelerate the unraveling of New York’s already fragile real estate market. Property owners are squeezed. Developers are hesitating. Small landlords are being crushed. And when the cost of living skyrockets, it is not just billionaires who leave. It is police officers, firefighters, entrepreneurs, and families who simply cannot afford to stay. The result is predictable. As New York doubles down on policies that punish productivity, states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are preparing for another wave of Americans looking for freedom, affordability, and sanity. Real estate agents in those states are not worried about a slowdown. They are preparing for an influx of former New Yorkers who have had enough. Grant connects the dots between ideological governance and economic reality, explaining why policies rooted in redistribution and government expansion often hollow out the very tax base they rely on. When the middle class flees, the city does not get more equitable. It gets poorer, weaker, and more divided. This is not just about New York. It is a warning for every major city tempted to follow the same path. If you want to understand how quickly a financial capital can be pushed toward decline, you do not want to miss this conversation. https://TheMaverickSystem.comhttps://GrantLovesGold.comhttps://www.EnergizedHealth.com/Granthttps://www.PatriotMobile.com/Granthttps://Twc.Health/Grant Use code Grant for 10% offhttps://VRAInsider.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most leaders say they value trust. It shows up in mission statements and team meetings. But when trust breaks down, few can explain why performance slows, collaboration frays, or innovation quietly disappears. Dr. Paul Zak doesn't treat trust as an abstraction. As a behavioral neuroscientist with over 25 years of research, he studies trust the same way an engineer studies load-bearing structures. His work has identified the specific neurochemical, oxytocin, that drives human connection. And the behaviors that trigger it are simpler than most leaders expect. In this episode, Paul breaks down what trust actually looks like day to day, why autonomy outperforms surveillance, how recognition needs to happen to actually stick, and why human connection matters more than ever in a world shaped by AI and remote work. Whether you lead a team of five or five hundred, this conversation will change how you think about the small moments that drive performance.   Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 2:00 What trust actually looks like at work 3:30 The role of oxytocin in team performance 4:48 Why moderate stress builds stronger teams 6:42 The adjective hack for better Monday conversations 8:32 Why emotional states are contagious 9:48 How the brain values experiences (and the 20-minute rule) 12:28 The real cost of micromanagement and surveillance 14:30 Coaching to high performance (and firing with dignity) 16:22 Why forward-looking reviews beat backward-looking ones 18:08 How home life and work life feed each other 19:30 Trust in hybrid and remote work environments 21:40 Vulnerability as a leadership superpower 23:12 Ovation: How to celebrate wins the right way 25:20 How to tell the difference between trust and manipulation 27:30 Why recognition needs to be fast, personal, and peer-driven 28:48 Celebrating failure to accelerate learning 29:30 Why human connection matters more in the age of AI 32:30 The loneliness epidemic and rebuilding social skills 34:30 Simple trust hacks every leader can use today 37:20 Where to find Paul Zak and the Six app https://pauljzak.com/   Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR Host: Brandon Laws In Brandon's own words: "The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.

You're at a networking event and someone corners you. For the next ten minutes, they talk nonstop about their vacation, their dog, their new car. You're not having a conversation. You're trapped in their monologue. You're annoyed. You tune out. You start looking for the exit. That's exactly how your prospects feel when you make yourself the star of the conversation. What Is Sales Main Character Syndrome? Sales main character syndrome is when you position yourself as the hero instead of your prospect. You see it everywhere: On the phone: You launch into a five-minute pitch about your company history before asking a single question. In email: You send giant blocks of text about features without mentioning their actual problems. On LinkedIn: Your connect request immediately hits them with "Here's my product, here's my calendar link, let's meet." No matter the channel, it all leads back to the same place: your product, your company, your agenda. Prospects don't care about your product yet. They care about their problems, their goals, and what's at stake in their world. When you make it all about you, you trigger resistance. Buyers feel sold to instead of collaborated with. And that leads to ghosting, objections, and stalled deals. Nobody wants to sit through a feature dump. People need relevance. They want to feel heard and know you actually get them. The Real Cost of Sales Main Character Syndrome Sales main character syndrome has consequences that will wreck your quota. Prospects disengage. When you focus on yourself and your product instead of the buyer and their needs, they tune out. Calls feel like lectures. Emails read like brochures. Messages get deleted without a response. Lose their attention, and you've lost your shot. You miss the real opportunities. By making the interaction about yourself, you fail to ask the right questions. You don't hear what's actually going on in their world. You can't identify the true pain points, the real goals, or what's actually motivating them. So you pitch solutions that don't align with what they need. You waste discovery time chasing the wrong problems. Destroy trust before it's built. Your prospects stop seeing you as a helpful guide. Instead, you're just another salesperson pushing a product. Without trust, everything gets harder and long-term relationships become impossible. The cost is too high. So how do you flip the script? The Mindset Shift: From Hero to Trusted Guide Your job is to be a trusted guide, not the hero. Think Yoda, not Luke Skywalker. Your prospect is the hero of their own story. They're the ones facing the challenge, making the decision, and living with the outcome.  When prospects feel like the main character, they engage more. They open up. They trust you. And trust moves deals forward. Here's a simple three-step framework you can use in every conversation. Step #1: Change Your "I" to "Why" Stop starting conversations with: "I want to show you..." "I'd love to introduce..." "I think you'll like..." Your buyers don't care about your "I." They care about their “why.” Why should this matter to them? Why is it relevant right now? Why does it solve a problem they're actually facing? Lead with "why," and the focus shifts from your agenda to their reality. You'll stop sounding like a salesperson and start being seen as someone who understands their world. Before: "I'd love to show you our new platform and walk you through all the features we've built." After: “Companies in your industry are losing 20% of their pipeline to manual data entry errors. Here's how to fix that." One is about you. The other is about them. Step #2: Define What You Solve, Not What You Sell Most salespeople can rattle off what they sell. A platform. A service. A software solution. That's not what your buyer cares about. Buyers don't wake up thinking, "I need a new vendor today." They wake up thinking, "I need to fix this problem that's making my life harder." When you define the problem you solve instead of the product you sell, you build immediate value. You position yourself as a partner in their success, not just another pitch in their inbox. Product-focused: "We're a sales engagement platform with email sequencing, call tracking, and analytics." Problem-focused: "We help sales teams stop losing deals to slow follow-up and inconsistent outreach." Stop leading with what you sell and start leading with what you solve. Conversations convert faster when prospects see themselves in the problem you're addressing. Step #3: Listen to Hear, Not to Respond The biggest mistake in sales? Listening just long enough to jump in with your answer. Most reps wait for their turn to talk. They're mentally preparing the pitch while the buyer is still speaking. It feels efficient. It's actually ineffective. Listening to hear means shutting up long enough to understand. You catch the nuance. You pick up on the emotion. You uncover the hidden pain points that competitors miss because they're too busy pitching. Slow down. Tune in. Let your buyer feel heard. That's when trust starts to build and when real opportunity opens up. Your Challenge: Put It Into Practice This Week The shift from sales main character syndrome to trusted guide isn't complicated. But it does require awareness and intention. You have to catch yourself when you're about to launch into your standard pitch. Pause and ask, "Am I making this about me or about them?" Your prospect is the hero. Your job is to guide them to success. Make it about them. Lead with relevance. Listen deeply. Watch what happens when you get this right. Because the most successful salespeople aren't trying to be impressive. They're trying to be useful. Make your prospect the main character in every conversation. Do it consistently, and you won't have to chase attention. You'll earn it. -- Stop getting tuned out. Download the Free ACED Buyer Style Playbook and learn how to speak your buyer's language.
