 1. Best Coaching Advice Ever ReceivedDon't give advice—facilitate the client's best thinking.Tempting as it is, offering solutions disempowers clients.Coaching should affirm that the answers are within the client.Advice-giving is ego's playground; humility is the path.A coach's real job is to create space, not control the outcome. 2. Advice for Being a Good ClientTreat coaching like your life depends on it—because it kinda does.Investing your own money increases commitment and transformation.Coaching is about what you want, not what you need.Full engagement includes prep, reflection, and accountability.If you're not ready to lean in, coaching won't work. 3. What He's Still Working to Improve in CoachingCultivating deeper humility.Avoiding ego-driven behaviors (like showing off credentials or jargon).Letting silence do the heavy lifting—“holding space” is a superpower.Resisting the urge to offer answers disguised as help.Constantly choosing presence over performance. 4. Most Outrageous Thing in a Coaching SessionUses wild brainstorming to stretch clients' imagination.Embraces ideas like hang gliding from San Francisco to San Mateo to break linear thinking.Believes in shaking people out of limiting assumptions.Coaching is about thinking new thoughts, feeling new feelings.Asks “What impact do you want to have in 500 years?” 5. What Still Makes Him Uncomfortable in CoachingSeeing someone who has a great life but can't see it themselves.Feeling the pain of their unconsciousness or negative lens.Encourages gratitude as a mindset-retraining tool.Uses practices to shift attention from lack to abundance.Believes coaching's core purpose is to raise consciousness. 6. Advice for Aspiring CoachesFirst, become a great client—receive coaching deeply.Pay for coaching so you'll truly value it.Go all-in with prep, reflection, and documentation.The more seriously you take it, the more transformative it is.Price your coaching to match the seriousness you want your clients to bring. 7. Something He's Had to ConquerADHD: a gift and a challenge.Commitment to one path—avoiding shiny object syndrome.Balancing persistence with knowing when to pivot.Recognizing fear when it masquerades as logic.“Your fear is not your best thinking.” 8. How He's Using AI in CoachingSees AI as a major unlock for coaching accessibility.Focused on using tech to enhance—not replace—human connection.AI can extend great coaches' reach but can't replicate empathy.Built apps and tools to embed coaching into daily life.Believes the coaching-AI combo will reshape personal development. Bonus: What He's Learned Through CoachingLearned how to consciously create the life he wants.Coaching helped him uncover his evolving desires.Sees life as an ongoing process of creating the best version of himself.Wants to be “in creation mode” until he's 120.Lives with curiosity, optimism, and awe for what's coming next.

Welcome to Eclipse Season! This cosmic period is all about beginnings and endings happening simultaneously, and it can initiate a powerful six-month cycle of change. While the start of this season can feel drastic or dramatic, both on a global and personal level, being aware of these energetic shifts can help you take the edge off and embrace the process. This year, the energy is amplified by September being a "9" month in a "9" year. In numerology, the number 9 represents surrender, letting go, trusting, and acceptance, which perfectly mirrors the feeling of eclipse season. It’s a time to honor the sacredness of closure, even when it feels wobbly. Grief and grace can arrive hand in hand, and it's okay to let yourself feel all of the emotional waves that come with this powerful transition. The month is marked by several key astrological events: Saturn Retrograde in Pisces (Sept. 1st): Prompts you to revisit and finalize lessons from the past, dissolving old patterns and beliefs. Mercury in Virgo (Sept. 2nd): Encourages practical, precise communication and is a great time to organize your life and refine your routines. Uranus Retrograde in Gemini (Sept. 6th): Brings unexpected insights and "cosmic downloads" that can guide you toward freedom. Lunar Eclipse at 15 degrees of Pisces (Sept. 7th): Triggers a six-month cycle of closure and release, urging you to honor your emotions. Mercury in Libra (Sept. 18th): Fosters harmonious communication and creativity. Venus in Virgo (Sept. 19th): Focuses on practical love and relationships, a good time to refine your finances. Solar Eclipse in Virgo (Sept. 21st): A powerful time to set new intentions and take practical action. Mars in Scorpio & Fall Equinox (Sept. 22nd): Deepens your passion and creative drive while the equinox brings in a theme of balance and harmony.

On today's program, David E. Taylor—the self-appointed apostle of Kingdom of God Global Church and head of Joshua Media Ministries—was arrested this week for forced labor and money laundering. If convicted, he could face more than 20 years in prison. We'll have details. And, a Kentucky church has encouraged their members to check books out of their local library, and not return them—ever. The books, many of them geared toward children, promote LGBTQ lifestyles, and the church is framing the thefts as an act of civil disobedience. We'll take a look. Plus, Dauphin Way Baptist Church used to be the largest Baptist church in Alabama. Now, it is selling its property and plans to downsize. But first, a PCA church in Newport Beach, California, is reeling after one of its elders was arrested for sexual assault. Redeemer Church of Orange County in Newport Beach, California, a 325-member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), informed its congregation last week that one of its elders, Michael Maxwell, had been arrested by Irvine police for sexual crimes against a minor.  The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Daniel Ritchie, Yonat Shimron, Mark Wingfield, and Christina Darnell. A special thanks to Baptist News Global for contributing material for this week's podcast. Until next time, may God bless you.

Istrouma Baptist Church (ASC) Aug 24, 2025 ========== August 24 - Field Guide Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo Guidlines for Corporate Worship 1 Timothy 2:1-15 ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭15‬‬ First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control. 1. Corporate prayer Supplications - Praying for healing in broken families. Prayers - Adoring God's sovereignty in uncertain times. Intercession - Praying for unbelieving friends and families with childlike trust. Thanksgiving - Gratefully recounting God's provision or deliverance. First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions. 1 Tim. 1:1-2a 2. Godly conduct 3. Roles and responsibilities Takeaways for the modern church - Fosters unity and mission focus. - Promotes holiness in worship. - Upholds biblical order for flourishing. - Encourages humility and submission.

 Dr. Jeff Gross — Board-certified neurological surgeon, biochemist, biohacker, founder of Celebrate Regenerative Medicine, and longevity/biohacking consultant based in Las Vegas & Southern California. Medical & Health Longevity Background: Dr. Gross trained at UC Berkeley (Biochemistry & Molecular Biology), George Washington University School of Medicine, UC Irvine (Neurosurgery), and UNM (Spinal Biomechanics). He has decades of frontline experience in spine surgery, sports injuries, regenerative medicine, and now consults on biohacking and longevity. Biohacking & Longevity: Biohacking is essentially circles back to ancient wellness wisdom (eat well, sleep, exercise)—but enhanced by modern science (measuring phytonutrients, leveraging tech like red light, hyperbaric therapy, protein timing, etc). Emphasizes that “prevention” is still the number one defense against the four top causes of death in Western countries; early proactive screening and lifestyle habits remain critical. There is increasing crossover between “traditional medicine” and “naturopathic”/“functional” approaches—Dr. Gross sees this convergence as positive and overdue, but notes resistance still exists in mainstream medicine. Emerging Business Opportunities in the Wellness Space: IV centers, cryotherapy, and retail biohacking clinics (hyperbaric O2, red light therapy, peptides, weight loss clinics, etc.) are booming, especially in health-conscious cities. Low-barrier options: health coaching, nutrition consulting, affiliate/online influencer businesses—Dr. Gross notes people he knows personally earning seven figures as wellness affiliates. Innovations: Short-form EMS (electro-muscular stimulation) workouts, “blood flow restriction” exercise systems, and more. Cancer screening clinics: Now possible with advanced genomics and blood-testing—these are in demand but not widely available through traditional doctors/insurance, opening more avenues for direct-to-consumer providers. Supplementation & Biohacking Basics: “Non-negotiables” for almost everyone: Vitamin D3 (& often K2): Most people are deficient; optimal blood levels promote longevity, reduce inflammation, and lower all-cause mortality. Magnesium: Especially at night for recovery and cellular repair. Creatine: Improves muscle mass, heart health, and brain health; well correlated with longevity. Probiotics: Modern lifestyles make gut health challenging—good probiotic support is important. Nicotine: Can be a cognitive enhancer in low doses and proper delivery (gum/patch, NOT smoking)—but is highly addictive. Other Business/Money Ideas: Successful affiliate and influencer businesses for those passionate about health and wellness. Emphasizes supplement sales (with high trust and real value), personalized coaching, and education are evergreen opportunities. Industry Critique: Criticizes health insurance as a “legal mafia,” noting it often adds cost and hassle while limiting real preventive care. Encourages listeners to be their “own best advocate” for health—don't rely only on five-minute mainstream doctor visits. Connect with Dr. Jeff Gross: https://recellebrate.com/

Welcome to the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! This week's quick hit episode picks up where I left off in the last episode about the six steps of manifestation, zooming in on what I believe is the most crucial—and overlooked—part of the process: clearing out subconscious blocks and negative beliefs. This episode explains why just “feeling it to receive it” isn't enough, and dives deep into practical techniques like NLP, breathwork, EFT tapping, hypnosis, and journaling that can help you truly shift your mindset for real results. I also share insights on how uncovering and clearing what's really standing in your way can unlock new emotions, beliefs, and the confidence to manifest your biggest goals. Whether you're brand new to manifestation or looking to breakthrough your next big block, this episode is packed with empowering, actionable advice to help you step boldly into the life you desire. Key Takeaways: That "feeling it" isn't enough without deeper work. Encourages listeners to build achievable bridges between their current reality and their ultimate goal. Importance of being curious about discomfort to uncover limiting beliefs needing to be cleared.

What if the right words, shared with the right people, could create $30 million in just 30 minutes?
