You've heard it before—70% of Americans over 65 will need long-term care. While that number is technically true, it's also misleading. Because here's what many people don't realize: the vast majority of retirees will never face a catastrophic, six-figure care event. In fact, nearly two-thirds will spend ZERO out of pocket during their lifetime!

Our coaches address the common question of why your friend may be faster when doing less training than you, as well as why your experience level or race category probably doesn't indicate how much you should train. We look at the different returns on investment with training volume vs intensity, selection and survivor bias in cycling, a survey of power and training volume with racing cyclists in the US, and why comparison can be the thief of joy, but when it can be a useful tool for goal setting. We also answer your listener questions on genetics, time in zone progression, training time as a limiter, and more.

Have you been pushing through life, from one milestone to the next, with little rest in between?If so, you're not alone. In the early years of establishing a private practice, ambition often outweighs quality of life and self-care, but it doesn't have to be that way, and it definitely doesn't have to stay that way...During this coaching episode, I help Kellie explore what life can look like now that she has moved out of survival mode, built stability in her private practice, and shifted into a space where she's actually living and beginning to thrive.Kellie reflects on her upbringing, which focused on doing the right thing and being perfect rather than exploring what truly brought her happiness, and recognizes she's now at a place where she's giving herself space to explore and discover what it is she loves and actually wants to do.If you've spent your life trying to get through one thing just to make it to the next thing, constantly hustling, unable to slow down, yet always just scraping by, but you see yourself working towards being in a different place -- one where you're living and thriving -- this conversation is for you. Together, Kellie and I discuss creating opportunities for curiosity, taking personal time to explore what Kellie's interests might be, and setting boundaries within her client schedule to facilitate the freedom she desires. Tune in for more ideas on how to start to enjoy the stability that you've built in your business and shift into the next phase of life. Shifting Mindsets: Survive To Thrive with Curiosity (00:08:34) Thriving Through Mentorship and Giving Back (00:11:56) Exploring Personal Passions for Fulfillment and Joy (00:14:42) Curiosity and Present Mindset for Fulfillment (00:25:32) Rooted Foundation for Sustainable Growth (00:27:37) Embracing Mindful Curiosity for Self-Discovery Prioritizing Self-Care Through Setting Work-Life Boundaries (00:14:32) "What do I love? What brings me life? What is not about other people's opinions or judgments? It's just like, well, what do I want to do?" - Kellie Murry Kellie reflects on how the anxious part of her occasionally overbooks her day, leaving her without a break and feeling exhausted. Linzy uses the metaphor of a tree to illustrate the importance of having firm roots for growth and expansion, suggesting that stability is key to thriving. Ultimately, slowing down and embracing self-compassion helps improve your quality of life and discover your values and passions in this new phase of success. Action Steps to Help You Shift from Surviving to Thriving: Reflect on your current practice. Are you still in survival mode with anxiety and fears running your daily schedule? Or have you begun to shift toward boundaries and more personal time? Start daydreaming about what the next five years COULD look like. Begin to envision and write down your desires and some actions that can help get you there. Set boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being. Determine the number of clients per day that you can see without compromising your needs. Make self-care a priority in your daily routine. Ensure you have time for curiosity, self-exploration, and personal growth alongside your professional responsibilities. Take time to get to know yourself and what truly lights you up. Allow yourself to explore your passions and interests outside of work to enhance your quality of life. While it's important to have ambitious goals for your practice, remember to enjoy the present moment and make life rich and meaningful now. Find a balance between...

If you're in the thick of eating disorder recovery right now and wondering if it's ever going to get easier, this episode is for you. Maybe you had a rough week with food. Maybe you're exhausted from fighting the same battles in your head every single day. Maybe you're wondering if recovery is even worth it because right now it just feels so incredibly hard. In this episode, Lindsey gets real about hard times in recovery and shares a truth that will change how you see your struggle: there are only three possible outcomes when you're going through something hard, and what you choose determines everything about your recovery and your future. This isn't a "just think positive" pep talk. This is truth-telling, no-nonsense guidance about why hard times don't last forever—but only if you refuse to stay stuck in them. If you're ready to stop waiting for recovery to magically get easier and start building the resilience you need to actually get better, this episode will show you how. What You'll Learn: The only 3 possible outcomes when you're in a hard season of recovery (and why understanding this changes everything) Why quitting doesn't actually end the hard time—it just makes it last longer The difference between "it getting better" and "you getting better" (and why only one leads to lasting freedom) How to stop waiting for circumstances to change and start actively participating in your own healing Why hard times only end when you decide they end—not when you feel ready How to make decisions from your healed self instead of your wounded self What it really means to move through hard times instead of staying stuck in them The 3 Outcomes of Hard Times: Outcome #1: You Quit Quitting looks like going back to restriction because it feels safer. It's skipping meals after a bad body image day. It's choosing what's familiar over what will set you free. When you quit moving forward, the hard time doesn't end—it just becomes your new normal. Outcome #2: It Gets Better Sometimes circumstances change and the external situation improves. But if YOU don't change? You're just waiting for the next hard time to come along. You'll always be one comment away from spiraling, one trigger away from old patterns. Outcome #3: You Get Better This is where your power lives. This is where transformation happens. When YOU get better, you learn to nourish your body even when you don't feel deserving. You challenge food rules. You sit with emotions instead of controlling them through food or exercise. You make decisions from your healed self. Key Takeaways: ✨ Hard times don't last forever—but they also don't end just because you want them to. They end when you choose to move through them. ✨ There are only 3 outcomes: you quit, it gets better, or you get better. Only one leads to lasting freedom. ✨ When you quit, the hard time doesn't disappear—it just continues and becomes your normal. ✨ Relying on circumstances to improve keeps you at the mercy of triggers and external situations. ✨ You getting better means actively participating in your own healing, not just hoping things change. ✨ The hard time becomes your identity when you refuse to move forward—it becomes who you are instead of something you're moving through. ✨ Choosing to get better is hard, but staying stuck is harder. Wake up a year from now in the same place or choose to do the work now. Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "Hard times don't last forever. They don't. But only if you refuse to stay stuck in them." "Hard times end when you decide they end. Not when circumstances are perfect. Not when you feel ready. Not when it's easy. They end when you decide to keep moving forward even when it's hard." "When you quit, the hard time doesn't actually end. It just continues. It stretches out. It becomes your new normal." "When YOU get better, it doesn't matter as much what the circumstances are. When YOU get better, you have tools to work through triggers." "You don't have to stay here. You don't have to live in this hard time forever. But you do have to choose to move through it." "The hard time you're in right now? It's not forever. It's not your ending. It's not your identity. It's just a chapter. And you get to write what comes next." Real Talk: This episode delivers no-nonsense truth: the eating disorder wants you to believe you'll always feel this way, but that's a lie. You don't have to stay stuck. But you do have to choose outcome #3—to get better. That means showing up when you don't feel like it, doing the opposite of what the disorder tells you, and trusting the process even when you can't see results yet. What's harder than doing the work? Waking up years from now still fighting the same battles because you never chose to get better. Questions to Ask Yourself: Am I quitting on myself in this moment? Am I waiting for circumstances to change, or am I choosing to change? Am I making decisions from my healed self or my wounded self? What would it look like for ME to get better, not just for IT to get better? Am I refusing to move forward and making this hard time my identity? Ready to Choose Outcome #3? If you're ready to stop staying stuck and start getting better, you don't have to do it alone.

You'll discover why that expensive serum might contain the same basic ingredients as drugstore alternatives, learn about the shocking differences between technical-grade and cosmetic-grade ingredients, and find out why even professional chemists can't always tell what's in a product just by reading the label. This episode will completely change how you approach skincare shopping and empower you to ask the right questions, rather than trying to decode every ingredient name.

Guest: Dia Bondi Guest Bio: Dia Bondi is a Communications Catalyst for high-impact people. In her private coaching and programs, she works with C-level leaders, VC-backed founders, and ambitious professionals, helping them find their voice and lead with it. Her workshops and talks are hosted by corporations including Quartz, Salesforce, Google's X-team, and Dropbox. In global sport, she helped Rio de Janeiro secure the 2016 Summer Olympics. After attending auctioneering school for fun, she translated the techniques she learned into a program that prepares ambitious professionals, and especially women, to ask for more and leave nothing on the table, called Ask Like an Auctioneer. She's been featured on CNBC Make It, Forbes, and Fast Company. Her book, Ask Like an Auctioneer: How to Ask for More and Get It, is available now.​   Key Points: Dia's Backstory & Career Path Started her career in fitness, where she loved helping people feel powerful and embodied. Then, transitioned into training and development (professional development) after college. She discovered her passion for storytelling and communication while observing a workshop for finance leaders. Dia founded Dia Bondy Communications in 2009 to help leaders and VC-backed founders communicate effectively in high-stakes moments.   "Ask Like an Auctioneer" Concept Inspired by her side work as a fundraising auctioneer. The key principle: ask big enough to get a “no”, because a “no” signals you've reached the upper limit of what's possible. In business, people often limit their asks based on what they think they can get, leaving money and opportunity on the table. Instead of selling to the first yes, push further to uncover maximum value.   Overcoming Fear of Asking Fear of rejection keeps people from asking boldly. Many assume rejection damages relationships, but often it doesn't. Leaders should teach teams that discomfort (the Zofo—Zone of Freaking Out) is a signal of courage and potential growth. Reframe rejection: it's information about value, not a judgment of personal worth.   Lessons from Auctioneering for Business & Sales · Price = a reflection of value, not worth. The same item can sell for vastly different amounts depending on the audience. · Know your “reserve.” Like an auctioneer's minimum acceptable price, know your bottom line before asking. · People are irrational. Decisions are often emotional, even in data-driven environments—so storytelling is critical.   Four Types of Asks That Drive Growth 1.     Money – dollars, budgets, contracts. 2.     Influence – visibility, access to networks, platforming yourself. 3.     Authority – positioning yourself to make important decisions. 4.     Balance – aligning deals and clients with the kind of work you actually want.   Why People Struggle with Asking Fear of rejection. Lack of clarity on what to ask for and when to ask. Sometimes people make asks that are too small, too vague, or to the wrong audience.   Framework for a Strategic Ask (first 4 of 6 steps) Define your main concrete goal. Identify the next big move toward that goal. Determine the ask that advances that move. Ensure the ask is big enough to risk rejection. Storytelling Framework: “Blocker Buster” What your audience wants. What's blocking them from achieving it? How do you remove the blockers? Your ask (to move them forward).   Big Takeaways Asking boldly is a skill that can be learned. The most powerful ask live in the Zofo—the zone of freaking out. Rejection is not failure; it's valuable feedback about what the other side values. Asking strategically, with courage and clarity, maximizes opportunities for growth, influence, and alignment.   Guest Links: Connect on LinkedInCon Connect on Instagram https://www.diabondi.com/salesology Download The Powerful Ask Plan, a free tool to help you design a strategic ask.     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Send us a textReady to transform your weekly productivity in just five minutes? Discover the powerful three-part reset system that has revolutionized my approach to work and life.At the heart of this transformation is the After Action Review (AAR) – a military-inspired reflection technique I learned during a leadership retreat in Utah. Each weekend, I dedicate time to answer three critical questions: What went well? What didn't? How can I improve next time? This simple practice creates consistent iterations that compound over time, generating remarkable results through small, continuous improvements. Most people never experience the full benefits of this approach because they don't perform enough iterations to witness their own development.The second game-changer involves strategic weekend work – not grinding through entire days, but dedicating 2-3 focused hours on Saturdays and Sundays to your highest priorities. Whether you're learning new skills, tackling operational work, or advancing important projects, these intentional sessions create the mental headspace needed to enter each week with clarity and confidence. The magic isn't just in the additional productive hours; it's in the psychological preparation that eliminates Monday anxiety and creates momentum before the week even begins.The final component – gratitude – provides the essential foundation for everything else. Taking time to appreciate the opportunity to try, the freedom to pursue your goals, and the gift of being alive transforms your relationship with challenges and setbacks. When combined with reflection and strategic preparation, gratitude creates a powerful framework for sustainable success and fulfillment.Ready to reset your week? Try implementing these three practices this weekend and experience the difference in your productivity, mindset, and results. Your future self will thank you for the small investments that yield extraordinary returns.

In this episode of the Stronger Sales Team podcast, Ben Wright tackles the challenge of hiring and retaining top B2B sales talent during uncertain economic times. He highlights the need for adaptability and continuous learning as global markets slow, urging leaders to seek candidates who can thrive under pressure. Ben introduces three key strategies: testing for grit, assessing a salesperson's ability to connect, and verifying strengths through referee checks. His insights emphasise the value of resilience and relationship-building in sustaining sales success. The episode reinforces Ben's commitment to equipping teams to not only withstand adversity but excel in it.Key Takeaways: • Focus on identifying candidates who have demonstrated resilience and determination in various aspects of their lives, not just in their professional experiences.• Determine if the candidate is someone that customers would want to buy from, focusing on traits such as trustworthiness and relationship-building capabilities.• Use the critical question, “Would you hire them again?” during reference checks to gain objective insights into the candidate's suitability.• Recognize the challenge of hiring professionals who may not have faced difficult sales environments and find ways to assess their adaptability.• Encourage an ongoing commitment to training and development among sales teams to help navigate complex economic shifts.Time Stamps: 0:00 Intro2:00 Hiring5:00 3 Areas To Focus on With Hiring5:45 Recruiting For Skill6:55 Grit10:10 Would You Buy From That Person?12:55 Validating The Decision15:59 Recap17:08 OutroRate, Review, & Follow If you're liking what you're hearing, make sure you ‘follow' the show wherever you listen to your podcasts…so you never miss an episode!

Es la imagen del día: el apretón de manos en la Casa Blanca entre el primer ministro israelí y el presidente estadounidense. Benjamin Netanyahu ha aceptado el plan de paz de Donald Trump para Gaza. El texto asegura que Israel no ocupará Gaza ni expulsará a sus habitantes, se contempla el desarme de Hamás, la liberación inmediata de los rehenes y el cese de las hostilidades.El plan consta de 20 puntos sobre los que Hamás todavía no se ha pronunciado. En RNE, lo analizamos de la mano de Jesús Núñez, codirector del Instituto de Estudios sobre Conflictos y Acción Humanitaria. "La Autoridad Palestina no ha sido consultada para nada, ni ha participado en este supuesto plan. Tampoco Hamás, que ahora con la mediación de Catar y Egipto, tendremos que ver lo que responde", apunta Núñez. "Lo vimos en enero de este mismo año y hace un año y medio, fue el propio Netanyahu el que lo rechazó. Él está en otra dinámica. Si ahora ha mostrado cierto acuerdo con lo que le dice su principal aliado, Trump, es porque entiende que sigue contando todas las bazas en su mano", añade. Si el primer ministro israelí lograse recuperar a los rehenes, ganaría cierta popularidad frente a la opinión pública, opina el analista. Por otro lado, sigue estando en su mano calibrar en cada momento y hasta dónde llega o no llega el desarme de Hamás y puede "volver a reabrir la violencia" en el momento que lo desee. "No son condiciones para un acuerdo de paz. Si no termina la ocupación israelí de Gaza y Cisjordania, no hay la más mínima posibilidad de que una cosa como el Estado palestino sea viable. No hay nada en este plan que determine el final de la ocupación", sentencia el codirector del IECAH. Entrevista completa en RNE Audio.Escuchar audio

Monday, 29 September 2025   But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” Matthew 13:23   “And the ‘upon the good earth having been sown,' this, it is ‘the word hearing and comprehending' who surely he fruit-bears and it yields – some indeed hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus explained the state of the one who is like a seed cast into a thorny spot. He next continues the explanation of the parable, saying, “And the ‘upon the good earth having been sown.'”   This is the person first described in verse 8, which said, “And others, it fell upon the good earth, and it gave fruit. Some, indeed, hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty.” This is the aim of all gardeners (or Bible teachers in this case): to find good soil and plant there. This is because the anticipated result, which is that “this, it is ‘the word hearing and comprehending.'”   A new word, suniémi, to comprehend, is seen here. The word comes from sun, with or beside, and hiemi, to send. Thus, it signifies “to put together.” When someone puts things together in his mind, he then comprehends the information that has been received.   Interestingly, the word used to describe the process in Mark is paradechomai, to receive (as in accepting), and in Luke it is katechó, to hold down (as in retaining or keeping in the memory). Thus, the explanation, and therefore, the meaning, by default, must be interpreted differently in each gospel –   Comprehend Receive Retain   As for the person who comprehends the word, Jesus says he is one “who surely he fruit-bears.”   While the others may be saved, depending on the circumstances as given in Matthew, they never bore fruit. In the case of Israel, Jesus scolded the nation for not bearing fruit, telling them that their vineyard would be taken from them and the owner would “lease his vineyard to other vinedressers who will render to him the fruits in their seasons” Matthew 21:41.   However, Jesus has been speaking of individuals in Matthew. Therefore, the analogy to be derived is certainly that of individuals in response to hearing the word. When someone is like a seed in good soil, he bears fruit, “and it yields – some indeed hundred, and some sixty, and some thirty.”   A couple of new words are seen here. The first is dé, indeed. It is a particle of emphasis or explicitness. The second is karpophoreó, to be fertile and thus, to bear. The seed is the same. Despite this, different harvests result. The difference is not in the word. Therefore, the circumstances in which the seeds find themselves must be what causes the change.   Seed in one part of the field may get more fertilizer, water, loaminess of soil, and etc. This can be equated to different people receiving the word with different abilities, availabilities, amounts of determination, etc. Those things, along with the directive hand of God, will be realized in different increases –   “Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.” 1 Corinthians 3:5-8   Life application: The word has been given, the gospel is available, and the various soils (or lack thereof) are out there. Not only can you be more productive by improving your own soil, you can be productive by sharing the word with others and then prompting them to receive the word gladly and in a manner that will bear fruit.   This life is our one chance to prepare for the eternal state that we will find ourselves in. How willing are you to forego the present things that can choke out your productivity, deprive you of moisture, or steal the word away from you entirely?   Eyes on Jesus! Open your ears and allow the word to enter! Think about what you hear! Receive what is proper and reject that which will not benefit. Determine now to be the best fruit-bearer that you can be. This is the sweet spot in your walk with God.   Glorious God, how great You are to allow us to share in Your goodness and to allow us to decide what our walk with You will be like. You offer heaven, and You do so in any measure we choose to receive it. Help us to have prudence in our walk before You, bearing fruit for Your eternal kingdom. Amen.

This month we are delighted to be joined by Markus Kröger, professor of Global Development Studies at University of Helsinki. Markus has joined the show before as a founder of the EXALT Initiative and as a PI in the Trees for Development project. This time Markus is here to talk to us about his new book from University of Cambridge Press, Clearcut: Political Economies of Deforestation. This open access book will be published open access in October 2025. Markus gives us a sneak peek into the key topics of the book, primarily the mechanisms of regionally dominant political economies (RDPE) and the role they play in driving extractive sectors. To make this novel theorization, Markus looked at cattle capitalism in Brazil, narco-gold in the Amazon, and paper pulping in Finland. Markus shows how these three different RDPEs drive deforestation in their respective locations.  Interested in reading Clearcut? https://www.cambridge.org/fi/universitypress/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/environmental-policy-economics-and-law/clearcut-political-economies-deforestation?format=HB&isbn=9781009389549  Interested in learning more about Markus' work? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/markus-kr%C3%B6ger  Interest in the Trees For Development Project? https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/trees-for-development

Over and over again, I've witnessed the power of a single conversation. Sometimes it happens over the course of an hour or more. Other times, it happens in less than twelve minutes. That's what you'll hear in this episode. Recently, I joined my friend Ray Edwards during one of his live streams. We had no plan for what we would talk about. He invited me into the conversation, and within moments he asked me a simple but profound question: “Cliff, how do you discover limiting beliefs?” That question opened the door to a live demonstration of the exact process I use with my clients when we're dismantling the lies that hold them back. In this episode, you'll hear me walk Ray through the four steps required to completely destroy limiting beliefs: Become consciously aware of the limiting belief that's holding you back. Determine the source of that belief so you can see it was never really yours. Create an empowering alternative belief that aligns with who you truly are. Condition that new belief until it becomes your default way of seeing and experiencing the world. With Ray, we didn't just talk theory. We discovered four limiting beliefs in real time. Beliefs that were keeping him from stepping back into his calling of speaking and traveling. Together, we exposed them, reframed them, and replaced them with empowering alternatives. By the end of the conversation, Ray went from: “I'm embarrassed and afraid I'll be too weak to speak.” to “I want to go. I want to speak. Let me at 'em!” And all of that happened in under twelve minutes. This is the power of awareness, truth, and presence. But we didn't stop there. After the conversation, I took the transcript and turned it into a song. It's what I call a Soul Song. Instead of using affirmations in a document that are easy to set aside, I now condition my empowering beliefs through music. Songs created directly from the conversations where the shift took place. You'll hear that song in this episode as well. It's a living reminder that even in trembling, even in weakness, there is profound strength. Here's my hope for you as you listen: You'll see yourself in Ray's story. You'll recognize the limiting beliefs that may be silently dictating your choices. You'll realize that you don't have to keep agreeing with them. I'll also share with you the exact five journal questions you can use right now to uncover your own limiting beliefs and begin dismantling them. Because sometimes, one powerful conversation is all it takes to change everything. If this resonates with you and you'd like to experience a conversation like this for yourself, send me an email at Cliff@CliffRavenscraft.com with the subject line: A Single Conversation. I look forward to hearing from you. Cliff The Five Questions What is it that you want to experience in life that you are not currently experiencing? What is one or two things that you already know that you could do to get you closer to living that experience? Why have you not already done this/these things? (Each answer is an excuse (aka Limiting Belief) What is one or two things that you know you already need to stop doing that would get you closer to living that experience? Why have you not already stopped doing this/these things? (Each answer is an excuse (aka Limiting Belief) Lyrics To The Song: The Miracle Breaking Through [Verse 1]I thought the stage required perfection,A flawless voice, a steady hand.But even trembling holds a message,A deeper truth than I had planned. [Chorus]This is strength: to rise while shaking.This is power: to speak through pain.Like David Ring, like Nick before me,My brokenness becomes the flame.Even if my body falters,Even if my words are few,The bedsheet screen, the slides keep shining,And my presence still breaks through. [Verse 2]The old belief said, You're not able,Cancel now, you can't be strong.But every stutter is an anthem,Every tremor shines with song. [Chorus]This is strength: to rise while shaking.This is power: to speak through pain.Like David Ring, like Nick before me,My brokenness becomes the flame.Even if my body falters,Even if my words are few,The bedsheet screen, the slides keep shining,And my presence still breaks through. [Bridge]It's not perfection that brings the freedom,It's the courage just to be.Every tremor tells the story,Of God alive inside of me. [Final Chorus]This is strength: to rise while shaking.This is power: to speak through pain.I am not weak, I am unbroken,Every struggle speaks His name.Even if my body falters,Even if my words are few,My voice, my life, my very being Is the miracle breaking through.

Sometimes the best conversations happen when you throw out the script and just see where things go, and that's what I'm doing in this episode of Leaving the Nest!  You'll hear that the “wheel of topics” decides to acknowledge the fact that starting a new job can feel overwhelming. You have new coworkers, new management styles, unfamiliar commutes, and all the anxieties that come with leaving your comfort zone. But I'll highlight how, rather than rushing into decisions, it's important to give yourself time to adjust. Determine whether the discomfort is just temporary or something deeper. We also discuss some practical ways to reframe the experience: remembering why you left your last job, focusing on the excitement that made you accept this one, and even writing out reminders of what you didn't like about your old position. There is so much value in talking things out with the right people - trusted friends, partners, or even your manager, who likely wants you to succeed just as much as you do. Most of all, though, we strongly urge professionalism. Whether you decide to stay or eventually move on, how you handle the situation truly matters. Burned bridges can close doors, while respectful conversations can open new ones. If you've ever felt uneasy in a new role, or are going through it right now, this episode offers both reassurance and actionable advice, and we remind listeners that new job regret is common, often temporary, and always worth approaching with patience, honesty, and perspective! Key Takeaways:  Identify the root cause of new job regret, whether it be coworkers, management, commute, or overall discomfort. Give yourself at least three months before making major decisions about leaving. Revisit why you left your old job and what excited you about the prospect of this new one. Talk it out with the right people such as trusted friends, your manager, or your recruiter. If leaving does become necessary, do it respectfully to avoid burning bridges and protect future opportunities. Thanks again for listening to Leaving The Nest!

Midweek Service: Salvation is not earned by our good works or right behavior but is a gift from God received through faith in Jesus Christ. While behavior does not determine salvation, genuine salvation produces transformation, freeing us from the power of sin and leading us into a new life of righteousness. True believers don't use grace as an excuse to keep sinning; rather, they live in a way that reflects their new identity in Christ. Persisting in a lifestyle of sin shows a lack of a genuine relationship with God, while practicing righteousness demonstrates the evidence of being children of God. Salvation is by grace through faith, but authentic faith results in a changed life that honors God.

Today, we continue our series on healthy relationships, and we're talking about managing difficult relationships. There's a wonderful scene in the classic film To Kill a Mockingbird, when the attorney Atticus Finch is confronted by the father of a girl who has accused a black man of rape. The father, enraged, walks up to Finch—played perfectly by Gregory Peck. He spits in Finch's face as the attorneys' children watch. You can see the anger in Finch's face, but he slowly and calmly maintains his composure. He simply walks past the man, who now looks pretty small, and everyone's eyes. God has given us the power over difficult people. It's called not letting them set the rules. 1 Peter 3:9 says, “Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing because to this you were called, so that you may inherit a blessing.” Not always easy, definitely, but we're capable of it. Remember that. This life is very much about winning and losing. Determine that a difficult person in your life is not going to win by controlling you and getting under your skin. In wrestling terms, don't let that person pin you. Is that obnoxious person in your life really all that obnoxious, or are you a grouch, letting yourself get caught in what is really only a difference in personalities? Go home from work one evening and think about that. Make your mind up to start out the next day by being nice to that person. You'll be surprised how that can change the equation. And that's what Colossians 4:6 is talking about when it says, “Let your speech be always with grace seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man.” Or maybe you're a man frustrated with the relationship between your wife and your mother. This is always a potentially difficult situation. Maybe you think your wife should be more adaptable, but have you forgotten what God told the man in Genesis 2:24? It says, “This is why a man leaves his father and mother, and is united to his wife. And they become one flesh.” Your responsibility in that situation is to your wife, not to making sure your parents' feelings come first in all situations. So you see, often that difficult person you're dealing with is you, or at the very least a different perspective will help you see where the fault really lies. Finally, in 1 Corinthians 5, we read that Paul advises for really difficult people, a cooling-off period is legitimate. For example, the person who is causing real strife in a church should not be allowed to go on like that indefinitely; bad behavior sometimes must be confronted for the good of the community. And even for the good of the offended person, this is sound advice. So if we stick to what the Lord has already told us, and our tried and true methods for dealing with difficult people, we can get to a better place. Let's pray.Father God, a person who is angry or troublemaker creates chaos for everyone. Help us analyze each of these situations as unique so that we know how to handle them from Your Word. And most especially help us make it a habit to pray for those who are difficult, so that we might see their lives changed, and brought into harmony and unity. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima talk about Quinshon Judkins missing Wednesday Browns practice for a meeting with the NFL, and whether Judkins can determine where the Browns go with their running back room.

In March 1976, Ted Bundy was convicted of the aggravated kidnapping of a young woman near Salt Lake City, Utah. Bundy had not been accused or convicted of any violent crime except this one. No one knew then how many women Bundy had murdered, and many thought him incapable of doing so. Dr. Al Carlisle was part of the 90-Day Diagnostic team at the Utah State Prison when Bundy was sent there after the trial. Dr. Carlisle s assignment was specific: Determine to the best of his ability, without being biased by any of the reports previously done, whether Ted Bundy had a violent personality. The judge would use this information in deciding whether Bundy should serve time or be released on probation. In Violent Mind: The 1976 Psychological Evaluation of Ted Bundy, Dr. Carlisle takes the reader step by step through this previously-unpublished evaluation process, and shows how he concluded that Bundy had the capacity to commit aggravated kidnapping, and perhaps much worse. Violent Mind contains never-before-seen interviews with Ted Bundy and those who knew him, including a letter Bundy wrote to Dr. Carlisle that has been locked away for more than 40 years.https://amzn.to/3IcPC76Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Colin Fisher: The Collective Edge Since his days as a professional jazz trumpet player, Colin Fisher has been fascinated by group dynamics. Today, he is an Associate Professor of Organizations and Innovation at University College London's School of Management, researching the hidden processes of helping groups and teams in situations requiring creativity, improvisation, and complex decision-making. He is the author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups (Amazon, Bookshop). Most of us assume that the best thing we can do for our teams is to be a great coach as they're working together. That absolutely helps, but the research says that only 10% of group effectiveness is what we do once the team is underway. In this conversation, Colin and I explore how to get a lot better at the other 90%. Key Points The house always wins. If the structure isn't right for the team to succeed, little else matters in the long run. Leaders tend to put a majority of their attention on coaching teams in progress instead of the more significant work at the start of structuring and launching teams. Work on fixing structural problems before you focus on fixing the process. 60% of group effectiveness is determined by structure, 30% by the launch, and 10% by expert coaching. Critical for structure is the team goal being clear, important, and challenging. Be sure to document it. Negotiate roles, tasks, and jobs to support structure. Determine early how to articulate progress and highlight small wins. Ask yourself if the group has the right people to achieve the objective. Deep diversity that supports the goal is essential. Surface discussions about norms at the start, especially related to communication and storage of information. At a team launch, articulate why everyone is there, discuss key norms, and schedule a midpoint to reflect and align.

Greg adds another thought to the objection he addressed in the last episode, then he answers questions about possible proof Proverbs 21:30 is objectively true, drawing lots to get a message from God, grace for sanctification, and blaming God for bad things that happen.   Topics: Commentary: Man's free will doesn't determine the course of the universe. (00:00) Does the fact that reason, logic, and deduction seem to be irreducibly complex prove that Proverbs 21:30 is objectively true and not just religious jargon? (06:00) How should we take the Acts 1:23–26 passage, where they drew lots to get a message from God about who should replace Judas, and when is it our place to challenge leaders who are teaching something that isn't biblical? (14:00) Does the Bible teach that grace is required for sanctification? (29:00) Why does God get the credit for all good things but doesn't get the blame for bad things (like natural disasters or disease)?
