It happens slowly. Then all at once. Small compromises. Quiet trade-offs. One day you wake up and realize your life, your leadership, or your organization has drifted from what it was supposed to be about. The mission that once drove everything is now just words on a wall.Peter Greer wrote the book on it — literally. In How Leaders Lose Their Way, he unpacks why drift is the default and what it takes to stay anchored. Peter is President & CEO of HOPE International and has spent years helping leaders finish well — personally and organizationally.In this conversation, we unpack:→ What personal and organizational drift actually looks like (and why it's so hard to spot)→ The difference between "resume virtues" and "eulogy virtues"→ Why Peter writes his eulogy every year — and how it recalibrates everything→ The dangers of success, speed, and isolation→ Why you need friends who love you enough to tell you the truth→ How good organizations lose their mission — and why growth can't be the ultimate goal→ Practical guardrails you can put in place this weekIf you want to finish well, this conversation will show you how to fight the current.—

Content Warning: This is a severely moany podcast. Jack is joined by Jon Bass to pick through the wreckage of the shambolic performance against Sunderland. But if you are on the hunt for catharsis, this is the place to find it. We discuss Thomas Frank's dreary outlook and demeanour, arguing that he is dragging the club down and simply has to go. But we also acknowledge that the buck doesn't stop with him, even with Daniel Levy gone, where is the vision from the club's hierarchy? It feels like the same old story. We then look ahead to the summer and debate the rumours of a Mauricio Pochettino return, weighing up the pros and cons of one last dance with El Jefe. Finally, we look ahead to tomorrow's opponents, Bournemouth, and ask if Spurs missed a trick with Antoine Semenyo seemingly off to Man City, or if we were right to pass.

Guide: Katie Krimitsos Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me.

Most marriages don't fall apart because of one explosive moment. They slowly drift. In this episode of Operation: Thriving Marriage, Bryon and Jennifer Harvey talk about one of the most common—and most overlooked—threats to marriage: busyness. Not the dramatic kind that feels like a crisis, but the everyday, socially acceptable kind that fills calendars, eats attention, and quietly pushes connection to the margins. The truth is, many couples don't realize anything is wrong until something small suddenly feels overwhelming. By then, the relationship has already been weakened—not by one big failure, but by a long season of being stretched thin. One of the biggest misunderstandings couples have is confusing proximity with connection. You can be sitting right next to each other, working at the same table, scrolling on the same couch, or sharing the same space—and still feel emotionally disconnected. Being close physically doesn't automatically mean you're close relationally. Marriage doesn't thrive on shared airspace; it thrives on shared attention. Another trap couples fall into is waiting for the “right time” to reconnect. We tell ourselves things will feel better on the next vacation, after date night, or when life slows down. But big moments can't carry the weight of a relationship that isn't being nourished day to day. If connection isn't happening in the ordinary moments, even the best getaway won't fix the distance. That's why Bryon and Jen emphasize something they call marriage CPR—Connection, Positivity, and Resilience. The goal isn't adding more to an already packed schedule. It's choosing small, intentional habits that keep the relationship alive even in busy seasons. These aren't grand gestures. They're doable rhythms that fit real life. Sometimes it starts with the morning. A few calm minutes together—sharing coffee, saying a short prayer, or simply acknowledging each other before the rush begins—can set the emotional tone for the entire day. It doesn't have to be long to be meaningful. Connection can also happen while you're apart. A quick text that isn't about logistics—a meme, an encouraging word, a simple “thinking of you”—can remind your spouse they matter in the middle of the workday. Small digital check-ins can keep emotional closeness alive when physical closeness isn't possible. They also talk about the importance of individual resets. Taking time to recharge on your own isn't selfish; it's how you make sure you're bringing your best self into the marriage instead of what's left over. A rested spouse is usually a more present spouse. Another powerful habit is guarding just one screen-free moment each day. It might be dinner, a short walk, or sitting together for a few minutes in the evening. Phones down. Distractions away. Those protected moments often become the most meaningful points of connection. And finally, there's the end of the day. Checking in matters—but so does timing. Gratitude, prayer, or a simple emotional touchpoint can be powerful, as long as it respects energy levels. If one of you is exhausted, forcing a deep conversation can do more harm than good. Connection should feel life-giving, not like another obligation. What this episode ultimately reminds us is that thriving marriages aren't built by big fixes—they're sustained by daily faithfulness. Life will always be full. The real question is whether your marriage is being fed. When couples choose small, consistent moments of connection, they build resilience. And when resilience is strong, the marriage is far less vulnerable to the slow erosion that busyness so often brings. If your marriage feels stretched thin by life right now, this episode isn't about guilt—it's about hope. Not through dramatic change, but through simple, intentional habits that work right in the middle of real life.

Lord Chelmsford who had scurried off to the east in support of Major Dartnell only made it back to the slopes of Isandlwana at dusk on the day of 22nd January 1879. As the nervous British soldiers advanced, they could see dense masses of the Zulus retiring with herds of cattle and their wagons up on the skyline to their right. About 800 metres from the Isandlwana battle site, they stopped and formed into a line. The guns were in the centre on the road, with three companies of British infantry, a Natal Native Contingent battalion and a portion of cavalry on each flank. The mounted police were in reserve. Chelmsford ordered the guns to fire on the nek of Isandlwana, while Major Wilsone Black advanced up the right to seize a koppie overlooking the battlefield that the British named Black's Koppie. IT was about 7pm. Black signalled the main force to advance, and Captain Harford who marched up with the 2/3rd NNC noticed the grass had been trampled flat and smooth by the size of the Zulu army. Soon they began to stumble as they tripped over bodies and Harford admitted later “… nothing on earth could make those who were armed with rifles to keep their place in the front rank, and all the curses showered on them by their offices could not prevent them from closing in and making up in clumps…” The darkness spared the soldiers the magnitude of the disaster but not the details … Captain Penn Symons reported later that they constantly stumbled over the “Naked, gashed and ghastly bodies of our late comrades….” The Zulu opened up the bowels of the dead to allow the soul to depart, but to the English eye, this was an act of desecration of a body. “After killing them,” said Kumpega Qwabe, one of the warriors later “we used to split them up the stomach so that their bodies would not swell.” Zulu traditional belief recognized the frustration of gases produced by a decomposing body as a spirit of the man unable to leave its earthly form. If the killer did not open the stomach, the spirit's wrath would attach to him and he would suffer all manner of misfortunes, his own body might swell like a corpse, and he would be driven mad. Chelmsford visited Harford and his NNC during the night, and asked if they thought the Zulus would attack again. Harford said yes, he could not know that the Main Zulu army was exhausted, they had also taken terrible casualties and were in no mood to continue battling the British. As I mentioned last episode, some warriors left immediately, most remained in the area for three days waiting for as many of their wounded as possible to recover sufficiently for the march over 100 kilometers back to their homes. Chelmsford had made up his mind to abandon the camp before dawn the next morning and later he would be condemned for not staying long enough to buy the dead and salvage what he could from the wrecked camp. What critics would gloss over was the fact that his army was in a terrible shape. They had no spare ammunition, all had been seized by the Zulu, the main depot was Rorke's Drift. They had no food, only a few biscuits. Some of his men had not eaten for 48 hours, all had marched more than 40 kilometers in 24 hours, none were in any state for any sort of exertion. The smell's of war are always the most visceral, and the most telling. The sights, the sounds are tough to bear, but it's the smell's that get you. That night, as his column of 1700 24th Battalion survivors, Natal Native Contingent and colonial mounted troops bivouacked, the odour of death and destruction seeped into their consciousness. During the night, British and Zulu warriors had come across each other, bumped into each other — some drunken Zulu on one of the wagons had been bayoneted, too motherless to escape. The soldiers from both sides exchanged words — cursing each other in a language neither could understand but the meaning was inescapable.

The Danger of Drift Hebrews 2:1-4 Pastor Sam Bay

At the height of his reign, Solomon enjoyed wisdom, wealth, peace, and God's favor. But a quiet shift was taking place that eventually led him to worship other gods. In this lesson, we will look at the the choices that pulled Solomon away from God so we don't make the same mistakes. You may think you could never turn away from God, but I'm sure Solomon thought the same thing.

This discussion features: Judah Thomas, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh and James Gowell. Edited by: Tim NicholsonThis episode kicks off with an update on Johnny (thank you for your continued prayers!), and James sharing what stood out to him in Hebrews 3; "Don't harden your hearts" and aligns with an example of a callous, how it forms over time, how it protects from the pain, but it also blocks us off from feeling. James then asks, what is that one thing you have been putting off that God is nudging or asking you to do?Judah then shares about the importance of delayed obedience is the same as disobedience. The entire crew then begins to share examples of how God protected them, acknowledging God's miracles, not just shaking them off or worse yet, forgetting about them.We then find ourselves talking about spiritual drifts, aka drifting, the slow process of "drifting" away from God. Conversation goes full circle and we land on the miracle of God's Grace, how we have a direct line to Jesus via the Holy Spirit and there is no need for a intermediary.This is a page turner episode so come along for the ride...it's a great conversation!

As 2025 comes to a close, many school leaders find themselves pausing and asking a quiet but important question:How did we end up here?In this episode of the Schools of Excellence Podcast, Chanie Wilschanski unpacks one of the most overlooked leadership challenges in schools, drift. Not burnout. Not laziness. But the subtle loss of alignment that happens when leaders lose connection to the rhythms and anchors that once kept them steady.This conversation is especially for school owners, directors, and leadership teams who are preparing to step into 2026 and want to do so with clarity, steadiness, and intention — not pressure or performative “new year” resets.Chanie introduces two distinct types of leadership drift that show up in schools:Calm Drift — when things are going well, systems feel stable, enrollment is strong, and leaders quietly loosen the rhythms that protect culture, leadership, and sustainability.Chaos Drift — when life, grief, stress, or operational overwhelm slowly erode boundaries, clarity, and leadership presence over time.Rather than offering another system, checklist, or reset plan, this episode reframes excellence in leadership as the ability to return — again and again — to the rhythms that anchor school leaders through every season.This is a grounding conversation about leadership, humanity, culture, and the systems that support sustainable growth in schools.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why drift is a normal part of leadership — even for strong, experienced school leadersThe difference between burnout, laziness, and leadership driftHow calm seasons can quietly lead to complacency if rhythms aren't reinforcedWhy chaotic seasons cause leaders to over-function and lose themselves over timeThe role of rhythms (not perfection) in restoring clarity, confidence, and leadership presenceWhy consistency in leadership is about return, not flawless executionHow anchored leadership protects culture, operations, and retention in schoolsWhat school leaders should focus on before turning the calendar page to 2026A Note for School LeadersYou don't need a new plan.You don't need new software.You don't need to overhaul your systems.What most school leaders need as they move from 2025 into 2026 is a return — to the rhythms that already work, the leadership standards they already know, and the anchors that keep their school steady through both calm and chaos.Next Step for LeadersIf this conversation resonated and you want clarity around where your leadership — and your school, may be drifting, we invite you to start with awareness.Take the 5 Gear DiagnosticThis free diagnostic helps school leaders identify which of the five core leadership gears — Enrollment, Financial Health, Staff...

As we close out the year, it is easy to focus on career wins or financial goals, but how did you perform as a husband? In this video, I encourage every married man to take a step back, reflect on the last 12 months, and honestly assess the state of his marriage.We often track our workouts and our bank accounts, but we rarely track our relational health. I'm going to walk you through a simple process to review your accomplishments, identify where you dropped the ball, and determine if you truly showed up for your wife and family this year. This isn't about guilt; it's about awareness. You cannot improve what you do not measure.If you want to enter the new year with a clear vision for your relationship, you need to start by looking in the rearview mirror. Let's do the work to ensure next year is your best year as a husband yet.------You can contact me at:Email: husbandcoach2020@gmail.comTwitter: @HusbandCoach

Hebrews 2:1-4Rev. Clay Holland

SummaryIn this episode of the Text Driven Podcast, hosts Timothy Pigg and Carter Jurkovich discuss the concept of 'Digital Church' and the associated theological drift that arises from the demand for viral content on social media. They explore how the pursuit of short, engaging clips can lead to a shallow understanding of complex theological concepts, ultimately risking the integrity of core doctrines. The conversation emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong doctrinal foundation and the challenges pastors face in a digital age where attention spans are short and the temptation for popularity is high.TakeawaysEvery church needs a doctrinal statement.The church is the pillar and buttress of truth.The digital church gives an easier path to drifting.You can't explain concepts of a transcendent God in 60 seconds.Once it's out there on social media, you're not getting it back.We want to be like the viral pastor with the great video.We're just supposed to be mere donkeys.Jesus was hated for what he said, and it was truth.It's spiritual temptation. I fight, you fight it.We need to be faithful to the text, driven by the text.Sound bites"Every church needs a doctrinal statement.""The church is the pillar and buttress of truth.""We're just supposed to be mere donkeys."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Digital Church and Theological Drift02:09 Understanding Theological Drift05:24 The Impact of Digital Culture on Theology09:52 The Dangers of Clickbait Theology13:54 The Call for Faithfulness in PreachingText-Driven Resources LinksTEXT-DRIVEN WOMENApple: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-women/id1638626764⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/39bprfuuuoBdiu3qpbNbSS⁠TEXT-DRIVEN PODCASTApple: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/text-driven-podcast/id1558036179⁠Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/58S8Z1wSnubt8AVFkH3e1k⁠TEXT-DRIVEN BIBLE STUDIESThe Book of Philippians (Text-Driven Bible Study) (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/1oypSB7⁠Foundations: Genesis 1-11: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/b77kWZA⁠The Book of Titus: Text-Driven Bible Study (Text-Driven Bible Studies) https://a.co/d/4RAQaalThe Seven Churches of Revelation: Revelation 1-5 (January 2026)CHURCH/FAMILY RESOURCESThe Local Church Matters https://a.co/d/5HNqbiQThe Seven Characteristics of a Text-Driven Woman (April 2026)Text-Driven Evangelism (January 2026)DEVOTIONALKnowing Jesus at Christmas: A 25-Day Devotional through the Gospel of Luke ⁠https://a.co/d/6YMm0a9⁠Text-Driven Wisdom: A 31-Day Devotional through Proverbs https://a.co/d/17UC6jt

In this Friday Field Notes episode, Ryan Michler delivers a direct and uncompromising message: success never happens by accident. He challenges listeners to confront the ways they may be drifting through life, reacting to circumstances rather than intentionally leading themselves. Ryan explores how comfort, avoidance, and distraction quietly compound into years of lost potential, and contrasts that with the strength and freedom created through discipline, structure, and brotherhood. This episode calls men to choose hardship on purpose, define their standards, and begin taking directional action immediately instead of waiting for motivation to arrive.
