What does it look like when classroom learning moves beyond campus—and into real communities with real needs and major impact?In this episode of The Other Side of Campus, we're joined by Tanya Ratnani, an undergraduate senior in International Business and Business Analytics at McCombs School of Business (Class of 2026). Tanya reflects on her journey to University of Texas at Austin, her academic interests, and how experiential learning reshaped her understanding of business, service, and global responsibility.Tanya discusses her involvement with the Bridging Disciplines certificate program at UT, an interdisciplinary opportunity for students across campus to break out of their respective silos. Through this program, Tanya found Project Advance Austin, where students collaborate with community and global partners to apply their coursework to public-good initiatives. She shares insights from her work with Caring for Cambodia, highlighting what she learned through cross-cultural collaboration and what it means to learn with—not just about—communities.This episode is part of our ongoing exploration of how teaching, research, and service at UT Austin intersect to address pressing issues of the day—locally and globally.Check out more at the links below: Project Advance Austin: https://global.utexas.edu/engagement/project-advanceCaring for Cambodia: https://www.caringforcambodia.orgMcCombs School of Business: https://www.mccombs.utexas.eduAs always, thanks for listening!CreditsHosts: Stephanie Seidel Holmsten & Jen MoonMusic by various artists: Denys Brodovskyi, Alex ProductionsTheme track: "Soul Sync" by KetsaExecutive Producer: Michelle Daniel
“For they {Earthly Parents} disciplined us for a short time . . . but he {God} disciplines us for our good, that we may share his {God's} holiness" (Hebrews 12:10) MESSAGE SUMMARY: The Lord disciplines his children; therefore, so should we. Our discipline can take many forms, for example: 1) teach children a lesson, even hard lessons; and 2) it is OK to take away children's privileges. The Lord's discipline is out of love; and our discipline, for our children, should, also, be out of our love. Nobody likes discipline -- we do not like it; our kids do not like it. However, discipline works to bring righteousness and peace, and discipline brings fruit to us and our children down the road. In Hebrews 12:7-10, the author of Hebrews succinctly describes the Biblical perspective regarding discipline: It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as {His} sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they {Earthly Parents} disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he {God} disciplines us for our good, that we may share his {God's} holiness.".

Leadership breakdowns rarely come from a lack of effort or care. More often, they happen quietly — through drift.In this final episode of the From Laborer to Leader series, Joey Brannon and Mike LoBue explore why leadership growth cannot sustain itself on mindset alone. Even the most capable leaders will default back to familiar behaviors when structure disappears.This conversation focuses on the disciplines that protect leadership over time — especially as pressure, growth, and urgency increase.You'll learn:Why leadership drift is usually a discipline problem, not a motivation problemHow lack of structure pulls leaders back into technical workWhy owners unintentionally slow leadership growth by failing to protect leadership timeThe role of consistent check-ins, clear expectations, and feedback rhythmsHow systems reduce exhaustion and make leadership sustainableWhy leadership development must be intentional — not assumedThis episode provides practical insight for business owners, executives, and leadership teams who want to develop leaders that can carry responsibility without burning out or drifting backward.Leadership doesn't grow by accident.It grows when mindset, structure, and support work together.Download the Episode 172 Leadership Guide to turn these disciplines into practical tools you can implement immediately.
In today's episode, Gino shares a clarity that emerged during a personal retreat, bringing together two worlds he has spent decades working in: entrepreneurial leadership and the inner work of becoming a healthy human. He introduces the idea of the authentic entrepreneurial leader and explains why these three words, on their own and especially together, matter in every walk of life.Gino breaks down each component: authenticity, entrepreneurial spirit, and leadership, offering practical definitions rooted in honesty, emotional intelligence, responsibility, service, vision, and trust. While the framework speaks directly to entrepreneurs, the invitation is broader. No matter who you are or how you lead, the combination of being real, value-driven, and clear in direction creates meaningful impact. At its core, the message is a call to live it, model it, and let it ripple outward in service of something bigger.

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Gino and Rob unpack a powerful new definition of “SHIT” shared by healer Gabe Roberts: Suppressed, Hidden, Influential Traumas. Together, they explore how buried emotions manifest in our bodies, relationships, and leadership, often showing up as fear, tension, and disconnection from peace.They break down each part of the acronym, revealing how unprocessed pain becomes trapped energy that shapes the way we live and lead. Gino shares how releasing these emotional blocks through awareness and presence allows our True Self to shine, while Rob offers insight into the fear that keeps us from facing what hurts.This conversation invites you to look inward, shed what no longer serves you, and rediscover the quiet strength of clarity, peace, and trust.

Rocky and Bryan ring in the new year with a discussion about the value of making plans and setting goals as we enter a new year. Is setting goals a lack of faith or is it an example of discipline? Hear their perspective as you process your own soul and your plans for 2026.
In this episode, Gino reflects on the role advice plays in growth and why discernment matters as much as openness. He explores three types of advice: Too Much Outside Advice, Too Little Outside Advice, and the often overlooked Voice of Inner Wisdom. While growth requires learning from others, Gino shares how over-seeking can create overwhelm, erode confidence, and pull us away from our True Self.Drawing on Shine principles, personal experience, and insights from his sabbatical, Gino invites listeners to consider when it may be time to pause external input and listen inward. He also addresses the relationship between advice and confidence, highlighting the balance between humility and self-trust. At its heart, the conversation points toward trusting your own wisdom, honoring your timing, and allowing yourself to become your own guru.

Disciplines that leads to Godliness by The Chapel Port Clinton Campus
Message from Rev. Dr. John Yates III on January 4, 2026
Could consciousness be more than an illusion? Could it be the very fabric of reality itself?The Mind-at-Large Project is a three-year conference series, with associated film and other media, that investigates consciousness and its role in reality. The project seeks to challenge the common yet unnecessarily-restrictive worldview that posits that brains alone are required for consciousness. The first gathering, “A New Dawn,” inaugurates this unfolding inquiry. Convening April 15-17, 2026 at the University of Exeter, thought leaders and emerging scholars will come together to explore the deeper nature of mind- from the quantum to the ecological, from the human to the transpersonal.We invite papers that engage creatively and critically with the re-emerging paradigm of “mind-at-large,” traversing multiple thresholds of philosophical, scientific, and cultural discourse, including but not limited to:- Philosophy of Mind: panpsychism, idealism, dual-aspect monism, process philosophy, nondualism- Mind & Matter: quantum theory, observer participation, the metaphysics of measurement- Biology & Consciousness: cognition in plants, animals, and bioelectric systems- 4E Cognition: embodied, embedded, enactive, and extended mindIndigenous and Animist Perspectives: relational ontologies and ecological mind- History of Science & the Disenchantment of Nature: recovering participatory modes of knowing- Theology & Cosmology: panentheism, pantheism, and the divinization of nature- Extraordinary Experience: psychedelic, mystical, and psi phenomena as windows onto a wider consciousness

In this episode of Shed and Shine, Rob and Gino explore what it means to truly find your community. Rob opens the conversation by reflecting on how driven people often go it alone, yet many crave a space where they can be vulnerable, grow, and shed what no longer serves them. Gino shares his decades-long experience with peer groups, from early mentor circles to YEO, Strategic Coach, and the EOS Implementer Community, and how each shaped his growth and awareness.They discuss the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people who both challenge and reflect your True Self. The conversation touches on vulnerability, evolution, and the courage to start your own circle when none feels right. Whether you thrive in solitude or community, this episode invites you to ask: Who helps you see yourself more clearly?

In this episode, I sit down with my 10-year-old son for a simple, honest conversation about our mornings, our home life, and the rhythms we're still learning as a family. We talk about what self-discipline looks like for him in the mornings. He shares the areas in which he hopes our family can still grow this year. We also touch on homeschooling, how we talk about faith in our home, and what sharing the gospel looks like as a kid. If you're a parent navigating discipline, routines, faith, or simply wondering what your children are absorbing from your home, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down, listen, and give yourself grace.
December 28, 2025 In this week's sermon, Pastor Brett Romisch looks to Paul's letter to his protege Timothy and highlights the disciplines of a Godly life.
In this episode, Gino explores a truth that sits at the root of Shedding and Shining: honesty. He shares why being open and honest with yourself and with others is not just a value, but the foundation for freeing your True Self. Drawing from his sabbatical and the book Radical Honesty, Gino introduces three levels of telling the truth: revealing the facts from the past, being honest about current thoughts and feelings, and exposing the fiction of the ego or persona.He reflects on how performance, people pleasing, and fear pull us away from authenticity, and why truth, even when uncomfortable, ultimately brings clarity and freedom. The episode closes with a passionate reminder that honesty does not equal cruelty. When truth comes from the heart, it is an act of love. Gino invites listeners to practice openness, demand honesty in their relationships, and trust that the truth will set them free.

In this episode, Rob and Gino explore Discipline #10: Be Humble. The conversation begins with a simple question: what does true humility really look like? Gino shares that humility often shows up through laughter, especially the ability to laugh at yourself, to laugh in disagreement, and even to laugh when you realize you're wrong. Together, they unpack how humility and ego can coexist within driven people, and how awareness transforms that tension into growth.Rob and Gino also discuss recognition, authenticity, and how to stay grounded when others misunderstand your intentions. Gino reflects on his evolution from craving validation to simply being grateful for it. The episode closes with reminders to embrace imperfection, release judgment, and remember that humility is not weakness; it's the quiet strength of knowing and accepting your True Self.

In this quiet and intimate Riff, Gino invites you into a deeper encounter with your True Self. He begins with a guided exercise from Shine, asking you to strip away every role and achievement until only you remain. In that stillness, you notice where you sit on the spectrum between peace and pain. That awareness becomes a doorway into knowing yourself more honestly.Gino then shares the story of his four day personal retreat, a stretch of time without identity or distraction. He wrote his life story, journaled, rested, met long-forgotten teachings, and sat in silence with himself. There was introspection, beauty, and a real shift at the core.He leaves you with a gentle question: What would happen if you created even a small retreat of your own?

We check the markets often—but how often do we check our hearts? Most of us approach investing with calculators, not character. Yet Scripture calls us to a deeper way. What if investing isn't just a financial activity but a spiritual practice—one that shapes who we're becoming?Tim McCready, Head of Global Advisory at BrightLight (part of the Eversource Wealth Advisors team), has been helping both Kingdom Advisors and FaithFi develop a theological framework for investing that aligns our portfolios—and our hearts—with God's purposes. His recent work explores how timeless spiritual disciplines can transform how believers think about investing.Why Investing Requires a Spiritual LensTim begins with Jesus' words in Matthew 6: “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” That's not just a warning—it's an insight into spiritual formation.“Our investment decisions aren't just a reflection of faithfulness,” Tim says. “They're shaping who we're becoming as we seek to be like Jesus.”When we invite God into our investment decisions, investing becomes more than strategy—it becomes worship. It becomes one more place where we ask God to form us into faithful stewards.The Ignatian Prayer of Examen—For InvestorsOne of the most compelling ideas Tim introduces is applying the historic Ignatian prayer of examen to our portfolios.For centuries, believers have ended their day with this reflective practice—examining God's presence, confessing sin, noticing grace, and preparing for tomorrow.Tim suggests: What if investors practiced something similar?Rather than viewing portfolios strictly through analysis or performance, the examen helps us approach them with discernment, surrender, and spiritual attentiveness.Step One: GratitudeGratitude quiets the noise and recenters us on God's generosity. Before looking at performance or market movements, Tim encourages investors to pause and thank God for His provision.It might sound something like:“Heavenly Father, thank You for the gifts You've entrusted to me—including my investment portfolio. Speak to me about my stewardship, challenge me, and remind me of Your faithfulness as I draw near to You.”Gratitude reframes everything. It reminds us that portfolios are gifts to steward—not trophies to admire nor securities to cling to.Step Two: ReviewJust as the daily examen invites believers to review their day, the investing examen invites us to review each line of our portfolio with prayerful reflection.This simple discipline lifts our eyes beyond numbers to the impact our investments have on people, communities, and the world.As Tim notes, “We may find both joy and conviction—joy where God is pleased, and invitation where He's calling us to change.”Step Three: Repentance and RenewalThis is where the examen moves from reflection to transformation.Perhaps we discover that we've placed too much security in our portfolio. Perhaps a certain investment feels misaligned with God's desires. Perhaps God prompts us toward greater generosity.Repentance helps us acknowledge these areas honestly—and renewal invites us to receive God's forgiveness and step forward in faith.A simple prayer might be:“Gracious Provider, rule over every part of my life, including my investments. Forgive me for trusting wealth over You. Give me courage to act where You lead, and joy in following Your plan for my life.”This step reorients our trust away from the market and back toward the One who “owns the cattle on a thousand hills.” (Psalm 50:10)Step Four: Community and AccountabilityThough investing can feel private, it was never meant to be isolated.We grow best in community. Sharing a budget or portfolio with a trusted friend or mentor is humbling—but powerful. Accountability exposes blind spots, clarifies values, and encourages faithfulness.Whether through a small group, a stewardship class, or a community like the FaithFi app, transparency invites God's wisdom through God's people.Step Five: Fasting from Market NoiseWe live in an era of constant market updates, by the day, hour, and minute. Tim points out that this flood of data gives the illusion of control while feeding anxiety.A spiritual practice of “fasting” from market noise—checking less often, turning off notifications, stepping back from constant updates—helps us rest in God's provision instead of reacting to every market swing.Jesus' question echoes here: “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” (Matthew 6:27) Or, as Tim puts it, “add a single cent to your portfolio?”Step Six: ServiceSpiritually formed investors naturally turn outward. Financial experience is a gift meant to serve others—whether through mentoring, teaching budgeting, serving on a church finance committee, or helping younger believers develop healthy habits.Service transforms stewardship from something we manage to something we multiply.A Holistic Vision of Faithful InvestingWhen we bring together gratitude, review, repentance, community, fasting, and service, we begin to see investing not as a sterile financial exercise but as a rhythm of worship.“Investing is faithfulness,” Tim reminds us. “It forms us. It shapes us as disciples. A biblical approach to investing isn't measured only by returns, but by spiritual formation.”In other words, investing becomes a way to follow Jesus. A biblical worldview of investing doesn't start with performance—it begins with the heart. When we invite God into our investing, He uses even financial decisions to form us into the likeness of Christ.May our portfolios—and our hearts—reflect the One who has entrusted everything to us.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I worked hard to raise my credit score to about 730, but a miscommunication with my student loan led to a late payment and brought it down to 548.

This week on Shed and Shine, it's time for another Coffee Shop Conversation! Both topics in this episode reflect on recent transformative experiences. Rob shares insights from his annual Do Nothing retreat, where five days of stillness stripped away the noise and brought everyday moments into vivid presence. He reminds us that we rarely sit with our own thoughts, and when we do, it can unlock a quiet clarity.Gino recounts his yearly deep dive in Boulder with two lifelong friends, led this time by a soul-connected meditation guide. Through visualization and raw conversation, he found a renewed sense of connection, clarity, and most importantly, patience. These unplanned, soul-level check-ins are what make Coffee Shop Conversation so special: raw, real, and always pointing us back to the quiet truth within.

This week, they shift to operational discipline: the actual behaviors and systems that high performers use to win.This isn't about overhauling your entire life.
