What is enough? How do you know when you have enough? Is the answer: “Just a little more . . .”? If so, you're not alone, but you're also on a dangerous road. From the rich fool who built bigger barns to the algorithm that lives in our pocket, something has always been working to convince us that the next thing is the thing that will finally make us secure. But Jesus names a deeper truth: greed isn't really about money at all. It's about where we go for safety, and whether we trust our stuff or our Father to be the ground beneath our feet.

Sermon Transcript South Run Baptist Church | Springfield, VAPastor Eric GilchrestMark 3:1–6; Matthew 5:21–22; Exodus 34:6–9; Jonah 4May 10, 2026 — Mother's DayThis is a full sermon transcript from South Run Baptist Church in Springfield, Virginia. In this message, Pastor Eric Gilchrest preaches on anger and wrath as part of the ongoing "The Jesus Way" transformation series on the seven deadly sins. Drawing from Mark 3, Genesis 4, Exodus 34, Jonah 4, and Matthew 5, this sermon takes the congregation on a biblical tour of what Scripture says about anger — the difference between righteous and unrighteous anger, what Jesus' own anger reveals about the nature of God, and how to keep the fire in the fireplace. Announcements: Bridge Walkers and a Joint Service on May 31stGood morning, friends. It's good to be with you. Before we get started, there's just a couple things I want to say. There's something that I haven't alerted you to yet, but this is as good a time as any. So a few weeks ago, right before Easter, I was invited into a group of pastors who met over the course of two days, and there was an evening together. We stayed at a hotel. There was a grant connected to it. And it was a group of white pastors and a group of black pastors in the area here, in the Virginia, D.C., Maryland area. And the hope of this — it's a group called Bridge Walkers, which gets its name from the walk from Selma to Montgomery back in the 60s. And as somebody who lived right outside of Selma in Marion, Alabama, I know the scene well. In fact, I was there at the 50th anniversary of it in 2013, and it was a really powerful event. And so the meeting was one that I definitely wanted to participate in. And as we gathered together, we had some really frank discussions about race in the United States and in the church, and how we can be, as a church, agents of reconciliation.And so the fruit of this and the hope of where this all goes is for our churches of these pastors to do some things together over the coming year or two. And so the first of these is coming up May 31st, which happens to be the exact same day as the picnic. I did not get to pick this, it just kind of happened this way, which is in part why we are holding the picnic immediately after the service. And Jeff was right. I will be dressed for the part, and I need you to be dressed for the part too. The picnic will be fun. We'll have games. We'll drag stuff out. But then we wanted to give enough time for those of you who would like to attend this service to get home, maybe take a nap, or do whatever you do on your Sunday afternoons. And then at 6 p.m., it's up in Glen Arden, Maryland, we will have the first of these services together. I don't know what to expect, but I do expect that God will move, and I expect the Holy Spirit to be present, and I expect some of our preconceived notions to be challenged. I expect transformation is always beckoning us, and I am deeply hopeful for what might come out of this. So put that on your calendar. This is May 31st, just right around the corner, and it is 6 p.m. that evening.Happy Mother's Day: A Childhood Binder and a Mom Who Saw All of YouToday is Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to the mothers and the spiritual mothers in the room. I was trying to think of what to say at this point, and what came to mind was a collection of photos that I found from my childhood that my mom had gathered together. It was one of those binders that back in the 1998 time frame when I graduated from high school, that people would put photos into and they'd put words about what was happening at that time. And my mom was way into this. And so she chronicled my whole childhood from zero to 18 and then presented me with this big binder. And now as a father of an 18-year-old, I think about that a little differently.And I think about what it means to be a dad, only because I can't think about what it means to be a mom, because I'm not one. But I know this much on the receiving end of it all. I had a wonderful mom who looked after me in ways that I don't think I'll ever be able to fully appreciate. She saw every last bit of me and who I was, and she was there every step of the way, even if I didn't realize it. And so for all the moms in the room, I am grateful. We are all grateful. And for those of us who have moms who are still alive, may we reach out to them today and give them the thanks that they deserve.Let's begin with some prayer. Heavenly Father, I pray a special prayer of blessing over the mothers in this room today. Lord, the kind of love that you call us into, that agape love, a self-giving kind of love, I can think of no better human example than what mothers do on a day-to-day basis for their children. And so, God, may we all aspire to that. We give you thanks for them, and we give you praise for that kind of love, and may we be drawn into being those kinds of people too. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.The Jesus Way Series: Vanity, the Seven Deadly Sins, and Today's Stop — Anger All right, we are — if you don't know — we are on a road together, a path, right? And this began a few weeks ago. Well, I mean, it kind of began a long time ago, but we're on this transformation kick. But then since Easter, we've been walking in these two ways. And I've been trying to show you that there is this narrow way, right? It's the way that Jesus is drawing us into. It's narrow because fewer people choose it. It's a little hard. There's more friction to it. It requires something of you to be on it. But it is the way to life and to fullness of life and to eternal life. And this is what Jesus is trying to get us to do. But then there is this other way. There's this broad way. It's bigger and wider, and it's much easier to find yourself on it. And it's marked by a number of things. And so two weeks ago, we talked about vanity as one of the markers of this way. And it's easy to just kind of slide into vanity. And then today, we're talking about the broad way again. And I want to talk about anger. And I know it's Mother's Day. So apologies ahead of time for this. I do want you to know there was a toss-up between this and gluttony. And so I put gluttony on Father's Day. So, you know, you can get ready for that too. And I'll say, all of the analogies are aimed at the men in the room today. So all the stories — you know, like I'm looking at guys here — women, you get the day off. So you're welcome. All right, so just clarify a couple things up front. I originally had the name wrath for this sermon, and I was afraid that it might draw up like the wrong image for you. But here's the truth of the matter. The word anger and the word wrath — actually, it's the same thing. The roots of these are the same, like the down deep parts of it. They're just two different words for the same thing. The goal of what I want to accomplish in this sermon today is to really lean into the middle section of this rotten tree that stands before you. We've already touched on vanity, the far left, and we'll get to each of these branches at some point over the weeks here. And then just to remind you, at the base of all of this is your pride and your ego. It's kind of the thing that is the last thing that will die in this earth, right? Because if you could just simply root that part out, then it would take care of the rest. But pride is much trickier than simply just plucking it out like a weed. It has roots that go much deeper than you or I can really frankly imagine. So today we're just focusing on the middle one. We're talking about wrath or anger. And I have thoroughly enjoyed this. Maybe I enjoy it too much. I'm realizing this right now as I said that. I have like a thousand things I want to tell you, and I will only tell you maybe ten of those. And so if you think to yourself, well, Pastor Eric, I wish you had talked about this — I probably could have and maybe should have. But I'm glad that you're leaning in and you're really digging into what you need to know about anger and wrath. Also, it's a pitch to come to Sunday morning Bible study where we do go deeper for a whole hour on this topic. The goal of the sermon is, with the theme of roads and ways and all, to take you on a tour — like a driving tour of your Bible — and the things that it has to say about anger. Think of it this way. We've got a few key destinations I'm trying to get us to. And then as we go to those destinations, there's like bathroom stops I want to point us at, or maybe just a couple things that you should have in your view as we head to these main stops. First Stop — Mark 3:1–6: Jesus Gets Angry in the Synagogue The first stop is the one we read already, which is Mark chapter 3. And so I'd encourage you, please, open your scriptures, open your Bibles to Mark chapter 3 as we dig into what Jesus demonstrates for us about anger. Mark 3:1 to 6. Again, he entered the synagogue, and a man was there with a withered hand. And they watched Jesus to see whether he would heal him on the Sabbath so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man with the withered hand, come over here. And then he said to the Pharisees, he said, is it lawful? Does the law permit? Does your Bible tell me that it's okay to do good or harm on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill it? He's asking them, how do you read your Bible? What's the right thing to do here? But they were silent.And then he looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart, and said to the man, stretch out your hand. And he said, I'm going to teach you how to read your Bible. And I'm going to teach you what it looks like to keep the Sabbath. And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored. And the Pharisees went out and they immediately held counsel with the Herodians against him how to destroy him.There are two angry parties here. Jesus gets angry and clearly the Pharisees do as well as they seek to destroy him by the end. There are just a few things that I want to point to in this passage that will become important. And the goal as we make these stops on this journey together is to maybe build up a case of the kinds of things we can say about anger based on what we find in our scriptures. The first would be simply that Jesus does get angry. And it's actually okay for you to be angry too sometimes — with a huge caveat around it. Because anger is actually one — it's the only sin on the list of the seven deadly sins — that it's okay to, we'll say, participate in when it's not a sin. The sin looks a whole lot like the not-sin. It's the only one that looks like this. Knowing how to distinguish between the sinful version of anger and the righteous version of anger, it takes wisdom and it takes maturity. I don't recommend it to the littlest ones among us. It's a little bit like holding a knife. Like, you want to teach someone how to do this and to train them well, or they're going to do what? They're going to cut someone, maybe themselves. And anger is much the same way. And we need to learn how to use it in a controlled manner.But Jesus does get angry. And then I'll say this about his anger. If you read closely, what is he angry at? It's actually remarkably precise here in Mark. He's angry at their hardness of heart. He's not precisely angry at them, just generally, as if Pharisees are awful people or something like this. No, he's angry at something specific. The object that he's directing his anger at is their hardness. There's something in them. And he says there's something really wrong with that. And it provokes some anger in him.The other thing I'd say is that his anger is connected to justice, which is what anger is always connected to, by the way. Usually — well, actually both in the righteous form and the unrighteous form. When something's gone wrong in the world, righteous anger says, something's wrong with the world, and I want to fix it. When anger is unrighteous, usually you're saying, something's wrong with my world, and I want to fix that. The last thing I'd say about this passage is maybe the most important of them all, which is that if you really look closely at verse 5 there, it says this: he looked around at them with anger, grieved. Two emotions are sitting together — anger and grief. Anger and grief. How does one have anger and grief sitting side by side? Well, the only way is if you manage to find empathy for the one you are angry with. It's when moms and dads say it — and I promise they mean it, kids — when they say, this is harder for me than for you. Well, they mostly mean it. I feel grief over having to discipline. I feel grief because I want your world to be right. And Jesus here is feeling grief for the Pharisees, saying, I wish your hearts were not so hard. I could teach you a better way. I could teach you a way to life.Thumos and Orge: Two Greek Words for Anger in the New TestamentAll right, let's keep going on our journey here. Actually, let me pause one more minute. This is a good opportunity to introduce two words that appear in our New Testament. Both of them are words for anger, and they are thumos and orge. It's a hard G. We're still talking about the sin of anger here. Thumos and orge.I want you to think about anger as a fire. This is the metaphor for anger often. And fire, much like a knife, is something that can do damage or it can do good. Thumos is the damaging kind. It flames up quickly. It's the road rage. It's somebody getting upset, right? And it's named specifically in Galatians 5:20 and Ephesians 4:31, if you want to look those up. Galatians 5:20 is right next to the fruit of the Spirit. You know the fruit of the Spirit? These are the ones we love to talk about. But there's the fruit of the flesh right before it. And in this fruit of the flesh is thumos. It's that anger that rages up, right? This is what we're trying to avoid.But the one next to it is orge. And orge — sometimes it is unrighteous anger, it's not always righteous — but it is a controlled anger. It has some measure of control around it, as I say, a controlled burn, right? There are times where if there's a fire in your fireplace, that's a great thing, and it's controlled. But if that fire jumps out of your fireplace and is uncontrolled and creeps up the walls, now we've got a different kind of problem. Our goal today is to learn how to keep that fire in the fireplace.Pit Stop — Genesis 4:3–7: Cain's Anger and the Sin Crouching at the Door All right, we'll move on. We need to take a quick pit stop, however, on this journey and look at Genesis chapter 4, verses 3 to 7. This is the famous story of Cain and Abel. You probably know what happens to Abel and then maybe to Cain. Cain murders his brother. But before he does, we read a little bit about how this gets set up.In the course of time, Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground. And Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering. But for Cain and his offering, he did not And so what happens? Well, Cain was very angry, and here we see the burning starts, right? The fire begins to burn. And Cain's face fell, and the Lord said to Cain — the question you should be asking yourself this morning — which is, why are you angry? Why are you angry? When you get angry, why? What is under that for you? It's a very good question. And why has your face fallen? And then he says — God says to him — if you do well, won't you be accepted? And if you do not do well, and here's the key, "sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must master it."And what is the sin here? The sin is anger, and it's burning in him. And he says, you must master it, you must keep this in the fireplace. And if you don't keep this in the fireplace, it's going to destroy everything. We know exactly what happens. The sin that was crouching does what? It leaps out of that fireplace, and Cain kills his brother. And we have the first murder in all of Scripture.Murder is a terrible sin. It's actually not one of the deadly sins, is it? It's not one of the seven. Because underneath murder — and Jesus teaches us this in Matthew 5 — underneath murder sits the thing that's in our heart. We call that anger. Second Stop — Exodus 34:6–9: God Reveals His Nature as Slow to AngerAll right, the next stop on our tour is Exodus chapter 34, verses 6 to 9. I would encourage you, go ahead and pull your Bibles there now. Exodus 34:6–9. This is where Moses is up on the mount, Mount Sinai. He's getting the Ten Commandments. But in this very important scene, God reveals his nature to him. And he tells us, and he reports to us, what kind of God he is.And I'll say God is angry at times. God can have wrath. I do not deny this, and I don't want to even diminish this in any way. But I'd encourage you as we read through this to recognize a very important fact — that even for God, maybe especially for God, who is perfection and the thing that we are trying to strive for — God's wrath and anger flows from his love. Love is the primary, and out of that flows his anger. You might wonder, well, Eric, how in the world does that work? That doesn't seem obvious to me at all. But I would point us back to maybe Mother's Day or the fathers in the room. When you get angry as a parent, like in a good way, a good angry, when you see your child being hurt by somebody and that mama bear rage wells up — why? Because you want to protect your child. An injustice has happened or is about to happen and you want to protect them. God is not dissimilar. He knows what is good for us. He knows when the world is off kilter. He knows when you are off kilter. And he knows that when it is and when you are, that this is destructive to you. And he wants to save you from your destruction. And we call this anger. And it's him maybe punishing or reaching out and trying to fix the situation. And sometimes — and parents know this — the discipline requires something harsh.So it goes like this in verse 6. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed. And this is what the Lord is saying about himself. "The Lord, Yahweh" — and he says it twice, Yahweh, Yahweh — "I am a God who is merciful and gracious, and I'm slow to anger." And there it is, right? I'm not quick to anger. I am slow to anger. I am gracious. I'm merciful. I'm slow to anger. I abound in this. The word here is hesed. It's a steadfast love. It is a love that never quits. It is like a mother's love — like, you can do all kinds of things, but your mom is just going to love you throughout and throughout and throughout. And this is what God is saying of his very self, that he has this kind of hesed love, a steadfast love, of faithfulness. And he keeps steadfast love for thousands. And more than that, he's forgiving. And he forgives all the kinds of words for sin that appear in your Old Testament. Sometimes we call it iniquity, sometimes transgression, and sometimes sin. And he says, I'm willing to forgive all of these things. He then does go into the fact that he is a just God, and there needs to be justice. And so he says he doesn't clear the guilty just by virtue of wiping it away. And he, in fact — and this needs some explanation, and fortunately this is going to have to wait for another day — he visits the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children so that the third and the fourth generation, they sometimes feel the effects of the father's sin. I think you know this to be true just if you look through your family history and you think about your father and his father and his father and the ways in which their failures have a way of creeping through a family line. I think that's what God is teaching us here.And so Moses quickly bows his head toward the earth and he worshiped and he said, "If now I have found favor in your sight, oh Lord, please let this God — let you, God, the one who is merciful and slow to anger — that is the God we need in our midst. Because we're a stiff-necked people and we need you to pardon our iniquity."This is a remarkable passage in its historical context. There are lots of gods in the ancient world, if you don't know. There's a group that's praying to a God named Asherah at this point. And that God happens to be really good at fertility matters. Or there's the folks who are crying out to Baal. And Baal is one of these like really fickle gods who may get angry with you and then doesn't. And you never know who you're going to get with Baal. Or if you fast forward in time, you might get the God of Mars, who is the God of war. And that's the God you're going to meet in the pages of history.But this God, Yahweh, is unlike all the other gods. There is no other God named in history, certainly at this point, who describes himself in the ways that our God describes himself. This description literally changes the course of history. Because we should look to our God, to this God, and say to ourselves, thanks be to God that you are the God who is all of these things, and especially the God who is slow to anger.This passage is, again, as I said, one of the most important in all of the Old Testament, and we know this with certainty because — I've just got a couple here, Psalm 30 and Micah 7 — but you could do a Google search later on how many passages from the Bible as a whole, but especially our Old Testament, appeal to and quote from Exodus 34, and you'll be amazed. The Bible repeats this part of the Bible over and over and over again. Psalm 103, Nehemiah 9, Psalm 86, Joel 2 — or the next stop on our journey, Jonah chapter 4.Third Stop — Jonah 4: HOT Anger and Everything Jonah Gets WrongLet's turn there together. Jonah chapter 4. Jonah is a troubled prophet. I would encourage you, whatever you do, do not look to Jonah as an exemplar. He will let you down. Jonah is one of these — actually he's the only prophet who I can really say that about. The whole book is an upside-down prophet. He's not doing what he should be doing, and he's doing what he should not be doing, and we see this ever so clearly in chapter 4 here.We'll read it. For the sake of time, I'm not going to spend nearly as much time in it, but what we see is an angry prophet. Now, prophets are actually often angry. You should know this. The other prophets are too. They're just angry, typically in the righteous kind of way, because again, if justice is the name of the game for anger — the prophets are looking out and they're seeing injustice and unrighteousness everywhere. And they're shouting at their people, you got to fix this. And they're angry with them. And they say, the world's not right, and it should be. And you need to be doing something about it. Jonah is angry as well, much like the prophets. But he is, we'll say, more self-centered than he should be. And so it goes like this. If you don't know the story of Jonah, the lead up to this point is that he has taken his word of disaster to the Ninevites, and he has said, you need to repent. And they said, okay, we will. And they did. And then God relents, and he does not destroy them. And Jonah is not pleased with this. Chapter 4, starting in verse 1: "It displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry." There you go. It's just kind of on the face of it. He's displeased. He's angry. What's he angry about? That God was the merciful God. He wanted the war God, the wrath God. He wanted Mars. He wanted Baal. But instead, he got Yahweh. And he prayed to the Lord. And he said, "Oh Yahweh, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish." If you don't know that part of the story, he didn't even want to go to Nineveh at all, and so he fled. And so he says, this is why I left. I didn't want to come here. And then he just says it outright. "I knew you were a gracious God. You were merciful. You are slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and relenting from disaster." He said, this is why I didn't want to come. I was looking for Mars. I was looking for the God of war. I wanted you to come in and destroy this whole place. And I knew, I knew you wouldn't do it.Jonah's upset. Does he have a righteous anger? Let's all say it together. No. No, he doesn't. He's showing us all the wrong ways. And he goes on: "Therefore now, Lord, please take my life from me." Twice he's going to ask for this — "for it's better for me to die than to live." And then God asks him the same question, or a similar question to the one Cain gets, right? Do you do well to be angry? Again, the question maybe you're being asked right now. Do you do well to be angry? And Jonah went out of the city, and he sits east of the city, makes a booth for himself there. He sat under the shade till he should see what would become of the city. And the Lord God appointed a plant to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head to save him from the discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of this plant. But when dawn came the next day, God appoints a worm that attacks the plant and it withers. And when the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that again he might die and said, it is better for me to die than to live. And God asks another time, do you do well to be angry for the plant? And Jonah says, yes. Wrong answer, Jonah. But he says, yes, I do well to be angry, angry enough to die. And the Lord said — and here's the convicting part — he says, you're angry about all the wrong things. Your anger is an unrighteous anger. You're targeting the wrong targets. You are not upset about what I get upset about. Your anger is self-serving. This is what he's saying when he says in verse 10: "You pity the plant for which you did not labor, nor did you make it grow, which came into being in a night and perished in a night. But shouldn't I have pity on Nineveh, a great city in which there are more than 120,000 souls? Shouldn't I care about that? Shouldn't I have pity on those people? And shouldn't you too, Jonah?"And then the story ends very abruptly. It's kind of one of these where you feel like maybe there's a missing chapter somewhere and someday we'll uncover it. But for today, this is what we get.Diagnosing Your Anger: The HOT Framework — Wrong Heat, Wrong Object, Wrong TimingThere's a few things from this that I want to kind of put into your cap to maybe help you remember something about anger that will help you diagnose it later on. I'm calling this HOT — H-O-T — hot, Jonah's hot anger. So there's the wrong heat, which is to say the wrong heat level. He gets too angry about the wrong things. His anger is the wrong intensity — he gets so angry about this plant. But he's not angry about the right things with regard to the people. And then the wrong object, right? The wrong object of his anger. So he's angry not about what is just or unjust. He's instead angry at God. He's angry at God's mercy and ultimately at the loss of this plant. He's very interested in this plant. And then lastly, the timing of it all is wrong. He stays angry for too long and it burns for too long. He's still upset about leaving Tarshish. He brings that back up, right? That was sitting somewhere in his heart that he didn't even want to go at all. And so he's mad at God for taking him out of Tarshish and his own land and heading over to Nineveh. And he's holding this grudge.But all of this speaks something to your anger and my anger, which is sometimes our anger is too hot for the situation. And when the kid spills the milk at the table and you blow up — is that the right heat level? No. No, it's not. The object of our anger — maybe you do blow up at the table, Dad. And you get angry with the kid in that moment. But that's not even the object of your anger. You're angry from work earlier that day where your boss said something to you that you didn't like. And now you're upset generally speaking, and then when the kid spills the milk, you yell at him. That is not the object of your anger. Don't take it out on him. Or the timing of it all — maybe you've been holding this grudge for years, and you've just been gathering it over time. This is why we need to forgive, and we need to reduce our resentments. And if we are going to walk this Jesus way, the way that leads to life, it is going to require some wisdom around all three of these things. Final Stop — Matthew 5:21–22: Jesus on Anger, Murder, and What's Sitting in Your HeartAll right, one more stop on the way. This one's Matthew 5:21 and 22. This is Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. This is perhaps the passage maybe I should have preached from, so I am. "You have heard that it was said to those of old, you shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to judgment. But I say to you that everyone who is angry" — and there Jesus is just calling it out for us, even if you've got anger in your heart — "will be liable to judgment. Whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says you fool will be liable to the hell of fire."There's a lot in this passage. A lot can be said, so I'll just keep it simple. If anger is sitting at the root of this and it's sitting in our hearts, there are any number of fruit that can come out of that anger. Sometimes it's murder. I hope that's not the case for any of us. But sometimes it's just calling someone, you fool, you idiot. Or maybe it's just the rolling of your eyes at that person you think is an idiot. Or maybe it's you online. Maybe it's what you're saying in the comment box, right? To say, you don't know what you're talking about. And it's a self-righteous kind of anger. And it sits there and it burns.And here's what I'd say about all this. There is a destruction that is happening. Jesus calls this the way of destruction for a reason. Because you are aiming at God, believe it or not, when your anger is unrighteous. Because you are saying, the world is not as it should be, and I don't trust God to fix it. So I am going to fix it myself. And then the damage you're doing is all around you too. This one's a little more obvious — if you walk through the world and you're an angry person, constantly throwing barbs at other people, you are affecting them. You are changing the climate of the room when you just simply walk into it. But then also, what may be missed is that you — you are destroying yourself from the inside out.And it may actually feel good to be angry. I learned this. I didn't realize. I am a non-confrontational person by nature. I don't like conflict. But I have learned over the years some people love conflict. They actually like the fight. To them, it feels good. It feels like you're alive. But what's happening in that situation, and really any situation where anger is burning within you, is that from the inside out, you are being hollowed out. Three Antidotes to Anger: Soft Answers, Lament, and HopeThere are some antidotes to anger, and I will keep these brief, and three. One, Proverbs 15:1 tells us that a soft answer turns away wrath. Jesus teaches us the gentle way, the gentleness, gentle startups. This is always the first step forward. Anger might come way down the road, right? But you need to be slow to it. Number two, lament. Learn to grieve like Jesus grieves in Mark 3. Learn to grieve even alongside your anger. And I would encourage us mere mortals — unlike Jesus, us mere mortals — we should probably start with grief and allow the anger to follow, because it's going to be a much more trustworthy form of anger if we do. And the last thing is hope. Hope. You see, the angry person, as they rage at God — Jonah, as he rages at God — ultimately is saying, I don't trust you, God. I don't trust your way to be the right way. But we need to be people of hope and people of faith who trust that even though it seems like the world is all cattywampus — and it is, like it's all upside down — we hope and we trust that the God of the universe is fixing all the things. And we play our part. And we live as people who expect the unrighteous to receive their due reward and for the wrongs to be made right again. And that we only have control over ourselves and our hearts. And so we better take control of them, lest that fire jump out of the fireplace and begin to burn the house down all around us. Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, you are a passionate God. We are to be passionate people. And some of the angriest among us can show us something about what it means to have passion. But God, it can be dangerous to hold that fire. And so, Lord, we ask for your wisdom. We ask for people who will gather around us and be honest with us about the nature of our anger — whether it's the slow-burning anger that leaps out of the fireplace eventually, or whether it's the kind that just flares up all the time. God, you are teaching us a better way, a narrow way, a way that leads to life. May we walk with you down that. Lord, we pray this in your holy name. Amen.‍ ‍South Run Baptist Church | 8712 Selger Drive, Springfield, VA 22153 | Sunday Worship at 11am Serving Springfield, Burke, West Springfield, Lorton, Alexandria, Fort Belvoir, and Franconia, Virginia.

What do you do when the role that defined you disappears?Many people struggle with mental health challenges not just because of trauma, stress, or anxiety—but because they've lost a sense of identity and purpose. In this episode of Normalize The Conversation, host Francesca Reicherter sits down with Jeremy Stalnecker to explore how identity, purpose, and hope shape our mental wellbeing.Jeremy shares his personal journey transitioning from the United States Marine Corps into civilian life—and the unexpected emotional struggle that followed. After leaving a career that gave him structure, mission, and identity, he found himself wrestling with the same questions many people face after major life changes: Who am I without this role? Where do I fit now? Why am I here?Together, Francesca and Jeremy unpack how identity loss can impact mental health—from military transition to career shifts, life changes, and even the pressure young adults face when figuring out who they want to become.This conversation explores:Why identity loss can feel like hopelessnessThe difference between who you are and what you doHow purpose can create resilience during difficult seasonsWhy negative environments (including social media) shape our self-perceptionHow community, mentors, and self-reflection help us rediscover meaningJeremy also shares practical ways to begin reconnecting with your sense of purpose—from identifying your strengths to asking meaningful questions about what motivates and energizes you.If you've ever felt lost, uncertain about your future, or disconnected from your sense of purpose, this episode offers a compassionate and grounded perspective on how to move forward. Because mental health isn't just about managing thoughts—it's also about finding meaning in the life you're living.

You don't need more willpower. Your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do. And once you understand this one thing, avoiding your goals will never feel the same again.Everything you do, every goal you chase, every habit you avoid comes down to one simple principle: pain vs pleasure. Your brain is wired to move toward what feels good and away from what feels uncomfortable. The problem is, most people have it backwards, and it's keeping them stuck.In this episode, you're going to learn why you find some things effortless and others nearly impossible, how to flip the associations that are holding you back, and exactly how to use this to finally go after the goals you keep putting off.Here's what you'll learn:What your brain is actually doing when you procrastinate, avoid, or keep saying no to the things you know you need to doHow the pain and pleasure associations you've built around your goals are either working for you or against you Why two people can look at the exact same goal and have completely opposite reactions to it, and what that means for how you need to approach changeThe simple mindset shift that turns hard, uncomfortable things into something you can actually stick with, so your goals stop feeling like punishmentHow to apply this directly to speaking, leading, and showing up in the rooms that matter most for your career>>>Book an Executive Presence Call at https://speakandstandout.com/executive-presence>>>Get the Expert's Edge delivered to your inbox at https://speakandstandout.com/news

Denise Chapman Weston is a Playologist, therapist, inventor, and deeply imaginative thinker whose work invites us to look again at one of the most misunderstood parts of being human: play.In Part 2 of this conversation, Denise takes us beyond the story of her own childhood promise and into the deeper question of what play actually is. Not just fun. Not just recreation. Not just something children do before they grow up. For Denise, play is one of the clearest ways we can understand who we are, what comes naturally to us, and how we find our way back to ourselves.She shares a simple but powerful exercise: remember how you played when you were around seven. What did you love doing before you were trying to be impressive, productive, sensible, or useful? Maybe you built things, made up stories, climbed trees, dressed up, organised objects, created worlds, or found joy in something no one else quite understood. Denise believes those memories are not random. They hold clues about your natural skills, your instincts, and the way you were already learning to belong in the world.This conversation moves through so many unexpected places: Tupperware lids, Disney Imagineers, bone flutes, punch cards, theme parks, magic wands, technology, imagination, and what Denise calls the “arm pretzel” — the person who is physically present, but not yet ready to join in.Through it all, Denise returns to a beautiful idea: play is not separate from life. It is woven through how we invent, connect, create, remember, and become more fully human.At its heart, this episode is about play as wisdom. It is an invitation to look back at what once delighted you, not with nostalgia, but with curiosity. Because the way you played may still have something to teach you.In This Episode, You'll DiscoverWhy play is much more than fun, recreation, or something children doHow the way you played at seven may reveal something about who you areWhy childhood memories can hold clues about your natural skills and instinctsWhat a Disney leader's love of matching Tupperware revealed about her workHow play, music, invention, and technology are more connected than we thinkWhy some of humanity's greatest inventions may have begun with pleasure and playHow Denise moved from therapy rooms to museums, toys, attractions, and theme parksWhy imagination is our “original operating system”What Denise means by the “arm pretzel” and why reluctant participants matterHow play can help us remember what makes us humanChapters 00:00 Denise on wisdom, AI, and play as a skill01:31 What role does play have in living a bountiful life?03:28 What childhood play can reveal about your skills05:58 The Disney Tupperware story10:12 Play as a compass13:34 What is play?16:45 Bone flutes, punch cards, code, and invention24:11 Remembering what you loved to do29:03 Denise's work with theme parks and large-scale play experiences33:10 Imagination as our original operating system36:48 The “arm pretzel”41:18 What to do if you are in an arm pretzel moment43:22 Quickfire round47:50 Denise turns the questions back on SianGuest Bio Denise Chapman Weston is a Playologist, therapist, inventor, author, and Adjunct Professor at Purdue University.

Have you ever wondered why people in your audience don't think of you when they're ready to buy — even though you've been showing up, creating content, and putting offers out?Here's the hard truth: it's probably not your audience size.

One day, your kids are going to sit around with people…and tell them what it was like to grow up with you.Not every detail.Not every moment.But the ones that stuck.In this episode, Drew and Jimmy explore a simple but powerful realization:

What gets you arrested in a self-defense situation… even if you were right?Most people believe that if they're justified, they're safe.They're not.In this episode of The John Hallett Podcast, we break down the critical gap between feeling justified and being legally justified — and why that gap is where people lose everything after a fight.We cover:Why intent doesn't protect you — actions doHow excessive force gets people chargedThe moment your legal justification endsHow escalation turns self-defense into mutual combatWhy your words before a fight can make you the aggressorThis is where most training falls apart — not in technique, but in decision-making.If your self-defense training doesn't include legality, awareness, and control under pressure… it's incomplete.

After a long break, the podcast is back!In this episode, Lucas and Alex sit down to talk about something that's becoming impossible to ignore how you speak about what you do.They share stories from their own experience and how to create real connection in a world full of AI noiseThe big realization?It's not about having more information, it's about being able to make people care.They talk about:Why most people struggle to explain what they doHow energy and presence change everythingWhat happens when you stop “presenting” and start communicatingThe reason why your ability to speak might be the difference between being remembered or ignoredIf you've ever struggled to explain what you do, felt like your message isn't landing, or wondered why others seem to get more traction with similar ideas, this episode will shift how you think about speaking.Follow us on social mediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headgain.co/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thepublicspeakingchannelWebsite: https://headgain.com/Join our communityFree skool community: https://www.skool.com/beginnerPaid skool community: https://www.skool.com/speakConnect with Alex Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jarlung/Linkedin: https://se.linkedin.com/in/alexander-grabner-jarlung Connect with LucasInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mr_reuterstig/ Linkedin: https://se.linkedin.com/in/reuterstig Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Matty sits down with Glen Thurston, the founder of MentalHunts, for a conversation that goes well beyond hunting. Glen shares his journey through mental health struggles that started early in life, including an attempted suicide at 18, years of self-medicating through alcohol, and eventually hitting rock bottom while running a growing business. From the outside, things looked like they were working, but behind the scenes, it was a different story. What followed was a complete shift. Glen opens up about getting sober, starting medication, and rebuilding his life from the ground up… Including time spent working on a high country farm, reconnecting with purpose, and finding stability again. But the turning point that led to Mental Hunts came later… when Glen made the decision to be proactive about his mental health and was punished for it. After seeking help, he had his firearms license revoked. That experience exposed a much bigger issue, one that affects hunters across Australia and New Zealand, where people are now hesitant to seek help out of fear of losing their livelihood, identity, and connection to the outdoors. From there, Glen set out to create change. This conversation covers the realities of mental health within the farming and hunting communities, the importance of being proactive, and why time in the bush can act as a powerful reset — not just physically, but mentally. It's an honest, raw conversation about what's really going on beneath the surface — and why more people need to speak up.  What We Cover: Glen's early struggles with mental health and suicide attempt at 18The culture of alcohol as a coping mechanism in trade environmentsBuilding a successful business… and burning out in the processGetting sober and the role medication played in stabilising his lifeMoving rural and finding purpose through physical work and huntingThe moment everything changed. Firearms license revocation after seeking helpWhy fear is stopping people from going to the doctorThe lack of consistency in legislation around mental health and firearmsThe real difference between “mental health” and violent intentWhy being proactive about your mental health mattersThe role of hunting as a form of meditation and mental resetBuilding Mental Hunts and advocating for change at a legislative levelWhy storytelling is more powerful than telling people what to doHow to actually have conversations around mental health with matesThe importance of listening and not trying to “fix” someonePhysical tools: exercise, cold exposure, nutrition, time in the bushWhy what you put into your body (food, alcohol, media) matters Key Takeaway Hunting isn't just about the outcome… It's one of the few places where everything else switches off. For a lot of people, it's where clarity comes back, where conversations happen, and where you can actually process what's going on in your life. But if people are scared to seek help… that becomes a bigger problem than anything else.

If you've ever walked into a hard conversation already braced for impact — this episode is about what happens in the sixty seconds before. Presence in conflict isn't about staying calm. It's about who is in the driver's seat.Most people prepare for conflict by preparing their words. They run through scenarios. They anticipate responses. They build a case. And then the conversation begins — and the nervous system, which has been on alert since the preparation started, takes over before the identity can get there.Staying present in conflict is not about staying calm. Calm is a feeling. Presence is a practice. You can be fully activated — heart rate elevated, body clearly aware that this conversation matters — and still be present. What presence requires is not the absence of activation. It requires that identity, rather than threat response, is in the driver's seat. And getting identity into the driver's seat is a somatic practice before it is a verbal one. It starts in the body, before the words, before the room.This episode is the Reinforcement stage of Week 12 on conflict. Reinforcement here means practicing a new way of being inside a hard conversation — not through technique or script, but through the intentional, pre-conversation regulation that allows identity to lead rather than threat response to drive.In this episode you'll recognize:Why staying present in conflict is not the same as staying calm — and why that distinction changes everything about what you're trying to doHow anticipation of conflict activates the nervous system before the conversation even begins — and what that costsThe pre-conversation practice of prayer, breath, and conscious body relaxation — and why sixty seconds before the call changes what happens inside itWhy presence is a somatic practice before it is a verbal oneWhat it means to still be in the practice — not as failure, but as faithfulnessToday's Micro Recalibration:Before your next hard conversation, take sixty seconds. Pray or orient — remember who you are before the room can tell you otherwise. Breathe intentionally, signaling to your nervous system that you are not under threat. And consciously relax your body — find where you are holding and release the bracing before the conversation begins.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Schedule a conversation with Julie to see if The Recalibration is a fit for you→ Learn about The Recalibration Cohort→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

What Is an Art Foundation, Actually?The word “foundation” appears quite frequently in the art world, but I feel like most people, including those already working in the sector, would perhaps struggle to define what one actually is. This episode attempted to tackle that definition, and it may have clarified some things, but I also think it made things more confusing.

Most traders don't struggle because they lack knowledge.They struggle because they don't trust themselves when it matters.In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford unpacks the real source of trading confidence – not bravado, not certainty, and not pretending you know what the market will do next, but self-trust: the quiet confidence that allows clean execution under pressure.If you've ever hesitated on a valid setup, felt knocked off balance after losses, or found yourself second-guessing a system you know works, this episode will change how you think about confidence in trading.You'll learn:Why hesitation isn't a discipline flaw, but a confidence gap that can be trainedThe critical difference between confidence and overconfidence – and how each shows up in live tradingHow self-trust is built after the trade through execution, exits, and reviewWhy drawdowns test confidence more than winning streaks ever doHow concepts like Lagom (the power of “just enough”), hyperbolic discounting, and reversed effort quietly shape trader behaviourA simple self-trust check you can use to assess where confidence breaks down in your own tradingThis episode is for traders who want consistency without drama, discipline without force, and confidence that holds up in real market conditions – not just on good days. Take your first confident steps toward building a trading process you can trust, one execution at a time.--------------------------------------------Louise Bedford is a best-selling author of six sharemarket books, host of the Talking Trading podcast, and founder of TradingGame.com.au, one of Australia's leading trading education communities. For over 30 years she has helped traders master trading the Australian sharemarket, technical analysis, and trading psychology so they can build long-term financial independence. www.tradinggame.com.au www.talkingtrading.com.au.FacebookYouTube TwitterLinkedIn

When Hope Feels Buried | Jesus Is the Resurrection and the Life | John 11Sometimes the hardest places in our lives are the ones we've quietly declared finished.In this episode, Ted Coniaris explores the powerful story of Lazarus in John 11 and Jesus' stunning declaration: “I am the resurrection and the life.” Before raising Lazarus from the grave, Jesus does something unexpected—he enters the grief of Mary and Martha and weeps with them.This message reminds us that Jesus does not stand outside our pain offering explanations. He enters our grief, invites us to believe before we see, and calls life out of places that seem permanently sealed.You'll learn:Why Jesus waits in the Lazarus story—and what that means for our own painThe difference between believing resurrection as a doctrine and trusting Jesus as a personWhy faith often means rolling away the stone before we know what God will doHow the community of Jesus helps people step out of the “grave clothes” that still bind themIf there are places in your life that feel buried—hope, faith, relationships, or calling—this episode offers a powerful reminder: no tomb is sealed tightly enough to keep out the voice of Jesus.

Claude Silver is the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerMedia — one of the largest independent agencies on the planet with over 2,000 employees globally. What started as an unexpected conversation over breakfast with Gary Vaynerchuck turned into a decade-long mission to build what he calls "the greatest human organization in the history of time."Her only job description? "Touch every single human being and infuse the agency with empathy."Claude never wanted to be in HR. She started in grocery stores, survived the dot-com boom and bust, built a career as a digital strategist at some of the world's biggest agencies, and stumbled into the most human role in business almost by accident. Today she leads a global people operation and has written the book — literally — on what it means to show up as yourself at work.In this conversation, Claude and Jessica Neal go deep on why most workplaces are quietly breaking people, why the traditional path to leadership is fundamentally broken, and what it actually takes to build a culture where people don't just perform — they thrive.In this episode you'll learn:Why psychological safety disappears long before performance numbers start droppingThe difference between culture fit and culture addition — and why mixing them up destroys teamsThe "Lie Exercise" Claude uses to dismantle imposter syndrome in real timeWhy promoting your best people without coaching them is one of the most damaging things a company can doHow to scale empathy across a 2,000 person organization without losing the human touchWhy heart-led leadership isn't soft — it's the fastest path to real accountability and zero dramaWhat cynicism, politicking and late night Slack messages are really telling you about your cultureWhy the loneliest role in any company might just be the one responsible for everyone else's wellbeingThe moment that changed everything: At 19, Claude left college, strapped 80 pounds onto her back and spent 93 days on an Outward Bound wilderness program in the Colorado Rockies. No tent. No toilet paper. No way out. What she came back with wasn't just confidence — it was a blueprint for servant leadership that still runs through everything she does today.On the book: Be Yourself At Work is Claude's answer to watching talented people shrink in the workplace — just like she once did. It's a practical, honest, deeply personal guide to self-awareness, team dynamics, and leading with courage. Part memoir, part playbook, part mirror.Claude Silver's book Be Yourself At Work is available now everywhere books are sold.

"I have tried to delegate but it is just easier to do it myself." If you have said this even once in the past month, this episode is for you.Most founders approach delegation backwards. We hand off tasks, expect people to read our minds, then jump back in when it does not go perfectly. The result? Our team learns helplessness instead of ownership.The shift you need to make is from task delegation to outcome delegation. Instead of telling someone WHAT to do, you tell them WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE—and let them figure out the how.In this episode, I am breaking down the task delegation trap, the four elements of effective outcome delegation, and giving you the 5-step Ownership Handoff Framework. You will also learn how to navigate the hard parts: when they do it differently, when they fail, and when you are afraid to let go.IN THIS EPISODE:Why "just easier to do it myself" is killing your growthThe fundamental difference between task delegation and outcome delegationWhat outcome delegation actually builds in your businessTHE TASK DELEGATION TRAPWhy delegating tasks keeps you as the bottleneckThe hidden cost of telling people exactly what to doHow task delegation creates dependency instead of capabilityReal examples of task vs outcome delegationTHE SHIFT TO OUTCOME DELEGATIONWhat outcome delegation looks like in practiceBefore and after examples across different scenariosTHE FOUR ELEMENTS OF EFFECTIVE OUTCOME DELEGATIONElement 1: A clear outcome (what does success look like?)Element 2: Defined boundaries (guardrails, not micromanagement)Element 3: Available resources (budget, tools, team, your time)Element 4: Check-in cadence (support, not control)THE OWNERSHIP HANDOFF FRAMEWORKStep 1: Define the Win - Get crystal clear on the outcome, not activitiesStep 2: Explain the Why - Give context that creates capabilityStep 3: Set the Boundaries - Establish guardrails for decision-makingStep 4: Request the Plan - Let them propose the approachStep 5: Establish the Rhythm - Set up outcome-focused check-insNAVIGATING THE HARD PARTSHard Part 1: When they do it differently than you wouldHard Part 2: When they fail (and how to respond without taking it back)Hard Part 3: When you are afraid to let go (the control trap)YOUR CHALLENGE THIS WEEKConvert one thing you are doing into an outcome delegationHow to pick the right first delegationWhat to watch for as you step backKEY TAKEAWAYS:Task delegation creates dependency; outcome delegation creates ownershipThe four elements: clear outcome, defined boundaries, available resources, check-in cadenceUse the Ownership Handoff Framework: Define the Win, Explain the Why, Set the Boundaries, Request the Plan, Establish the RhythmLet them do it their way if it will achieve the outcomeWhen they fail, debrief and adjust—do not take it backTrue delegation means decisions happen without you in the roomRESOURCES:Download the Delegation Roadmap TemplateAccess the Ownership Handoff Framework GuideTake the free Leadership Assessment (3 min)Book a Strategic Discovery Audit ($997 engagement)Learn more at thedevaincollective.comCONNECT WITH THE DEVAIN COLLECTIVE:LinkedInInstagramWebsite: thedevaincollective.comCONNECT WITH SHEENA:LinkedInInstagramSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/beautifullycomplicated-podcast.

Learn how state-level decisions directly impact your seasons, access, opportunity, and conservation funding.Host Dr. Mike Brasher sits down with Kayleigh Leager of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and Swanny Evans of Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever—two policy professionals working daily inside state capitols to protect hunting, fishing, trapping, and shooting traditions.Most hunters understand federal policy like the Duck Stamp or the Farm Bill. But far more decisions—from Sunday hunting to conservation funding and public‑land access—are made in state legislatures. This episode explains how the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses works, why states are “laboratories of democracy,” and how small bills can create big downstream impacts on opportunity.In this episode:What the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation and NASC network doHow state bills—good and bad—spread across the countryWhy Sunday hunting reforms matter for access and R3Conservation funding: how license structures and federal match dollars really workWhy discounted or free licenses can unintentionally hurt state wildlife agenciesThe case for resident‑rate licenses for nonresident college studentsHow DU, PF/QF, and partners collaborate to stop harmful bills and advance positive onesListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Purina Pro Plan: The official performance dog food of Ducks UnlimitedWhether you're a seasoned hunter or just getting started, this episode is packed with valuable insights into the world of waterfowl hunting and conservation.Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

If you've ever felt like you know stress is impacting your health (but don't actually know what to do about it) this episode is for you.In this conversation, I'm joined by somatic practitioner, fitness coach, and functional nutrition specialist Joelle Reyes to unpack what somatics actually is, how stress lives in the body, and why “just managing stress better” often isn't enough.We dive into the nervous system from a physiology-first perspective, explaining why chronic stress keeps so many women stuck in symptoms like bloating, fatigue, anxiety, hormonal disruption, and stalled progress even when nutrition and training look solid on paper.This episode bridges the gap between what you intellectually understand about stress and what your body is actually experiencing, and explains how learning to close the stress loop can make everything feel easier — from digestion and recovery to emotional regulation and training results.In this episode, we cover:What somatics actually is (and what it's not)The difference between top-down (mind-based) and bottom-up (body-based) stress regulationWhy your body doesn't know the difference between work stress and physical dangerWhat it means to “close the stress loop” and why most people never doHow chronic fight-or-flight impacts digestion, hormones, recovery, and metabolismWhy you can't think your way out of nervous system dysregulationHow strength training, rest periods, and awareness can become somatic toolsPractical ways to start reconnecting with your body without doing anything extreme or uncomfortableWhy feeling your emotions isn't the same as being overwhelmed by themConnect with Joelle:Instagram: @joellereyesBeyond the Weights Coaching: @beyondtheweightscoachingPodcast: The Beyond the Weights Podcast

Prompting AAC is abuse? Let's talk about that and a few other AAC conversations that keep coming up again and again.In today's solo episode, I'm diving into five hot topics in AAC that have been surfacing repeatedly in my recent calls, trainings, and collaboration meetings. After more than 20 years as a speech therapist and being dually certified as a BCBA, I've seen how confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes divisive AAC conversations can become. I also remember very clearly when AAC felt intimidating to me too.This episode is about cutting through the noise, grounding ourselves in research, and having better, more collaborative conversations about AAC. I share real scenarios clinicians are facing right now, from AAC evaluations that drag on far too long to device access barriers to strong opinions about prompting that simply don't align with the science. My goal is to help you feel more confident, more informed, and better equipped to advocate for your students and clients.Whether you're newer to AAC or have years of experience, these topics matter. AAC is a student's voice, and we have a responsibility to protect, support, and expand it in thoughtful, ethical ways.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:Why AAC evaluations should be thorough, but not take nine months, and what may be going wrong when they doHow to approach parent-purchased devices, including those bought online, with collaboration instead of fearThe ongoing core versus fringe vocabulary debate, and why research supports using bothWhy prompting is a teaching tool, not abuse, and how misinformation can harm collaboration and progressMentioned In This Episode:Earn CEUs with a community of peers.

In this episode, we're talking about the money mindset patterns that quietly hold designers back: fitting into client-imposed budgets, internalizing numbers as personal feedback, disqualifying opportunities too early, and negotiating against yourself before you even have the facts.If you've ever lowered your fee without being asked, assumed a client “couldn't afford you,” or walked away from an opportunity before fully qualifying it, this conversation will change how you think about pricing.In this episode, we cover:Why client budgets often feel emotional, and how to stop taking them personallyHow designers create constraints in their own minds before clients ever doHow disqualifying opportunities too early keeps your business stuck This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series on money mindset, pricing, and boundaries.

In this episode, Kathy sits down with Vinayasri Nidadavolu, a specialist engineer in offshore wind energy at Siemens Energy. Vinaya's story spans continents, megawatts, and life stages — from earning a rare degree in wind engineering to climbing offshore turbines hundreds of kilometers out at sea, and now navigating her career as a new mother.Vinaya takes us inside the fascinating world of offshore wind turbines — explaining how today's turbines have grown from 2–3 megawatts to an astonishing 14–15 megawatts, and what it actually looks like to work on machines that can produce enough energy for two households with a single blade rotation.We talk about what it really takes to work offshore: the extensive safety and survival training, life aboard service vessels for weeks at a time, and what it feels like to climb, ride lifts, and work inside turbines that are now larger than many apartments. Vinaya shares vivid details about the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the job — and why she still considers it the best career decision she's ever made.The conversation also explores Vinaya's path into engineering, beginning with childhood curiosity and fixing broken appliances, through being the only woman in her mechanical engineering class, to choosing sustainability and renewable energy as her long-term focus. Her story is a powerful reminder that representation matters — and that girls belong everywhere curiosity leads them.As a new mom, Vinaya reflects on balancing motherhood with a demanding technical career, why she chose not to “compromise herself” professionally, and how leading by example matters more than ever. Her reflections on identity, resilience, and modeling possibility for the next generation are honest, thoughtful, and deeply relatable.In the Ask the (Not) Expert segment, Vinaya shares practical, no-nonsense advice on how to ask for a raise — especially for women — emphasizing documentation, advocacy, and the importance of asking more than once.We wrap up with rapid-fire questions that touch on self-care (never underestimate a single cup of coffee), courage, and why Vinaya believes her own life story may one day become her favorite STEM “book.”This is a wide-ranging, inspiring conversation about engineering at scale, renewable energy, confidence, and choosing not to shrink — even when life changes.Topics We Cover:What offshore wind engineers actually doHow wind turbines have evolved from 2 MW to 15 MWLife, safety training, and work on offshore service vesselsThe physical reality of climbing and working inside turbinesChoosing sustainability and renewable energy as a career pathBeing the only woman in the room — and staying anywayMotherhood, identity, and not compromising your careerHow (and why) to ask for a raiseLeading by example for the next generation of girls in STEMMusic by Kay PaulusSupport the show

Hey friend — this episode is a bit of a rant, because honestly, I just can't take it anymore. There is some really bad fundraising advice floating around the nonprofit world, and one piece in particular absolutely drives me up the wall. You may have heard it before — “If you want money, ask for advice. If you want advice, ask for money.”The idea behind it is that you should ask donors for their input first as a “relationship building tactic,” and then eventually you'll be able to ask for money. But here's what actually ends up happening: nonprofit leaders avoid asking for financial support altogether. They keep having meetings, asking for advice, collecting feedback… and meanwhile, the mission is still under-funded. I see this constantly with EDs, CEOs, development staff — and it's not relationship-building. It's manipulation. It's having a hidden agenda.And I don't do hidden agendas.In this episode, I talk about why “ask for advice to get money” is dysfunctional, manipulative, and ultimately ineffective in raising sustainable funding. I share why honesty is the real trust-builder, why clarity is more respectful than tip-toeing around your intentions, and why being direct is not rude — it's actually generous. If we're asking for support because our work matters, then we don't need to hide that.We also talk about:Why confidence matters more than perfectly scripted asksHow “advice collecting” is often just procrastination dressed up as strategyWhy you should only ask for advice from people who have actually done what you're trying to doHow implementing someone's feedback (and reporting back) is what actually strengthens relationshipsWhy direct, honest asking raises more money faster — without the emotional exhaustionIf you've been told to “build the relationship first” but were never taught how, this episode is going to feel like taking a huge breath of fresh air. You don't need to manipulate. You don't need to disguise your intentions. You don't need to be scared of asking.You need courage, clarity, and clean communication — and we talk about all of that here.Take a listen — especially if you've been avoiding the ask.
