The conversation emphasizes the importance of accessibility and comprehension in scripture study. Key Insights The Church’s handbook now states that while members should generally use a preferred or church-published edition of the Bible, other translations may also be used, reflecting a shift towards inclusivity and understanding. Many individuals struggle with the King James Version due to its higher reading level, which can hinder their engagement with the scriptures. Simpler translations can provide clarity and accessibility. Various Bible translations, such as the English Standard Version (ESV) and New International Version (NIV), can help bridge the gap for those who find the King James Version challenging, making the scriptures more relatable and understandable. The discussion highlights the importance of using different translations in teaching settings to enhance comprehension and engagement, particularly for youth and those unfamiliar with the King James Version. Leaders are encouraged to create an inclusive environment in classes where all translations are respected, fostering a space for discussion and learning. Leadership Applications Leaders can promote the use of various Bible translations in their classes to help members better understand scriptural principles, especially for those who may struggle with traditional texts. By being aware of the reading levels of different translations, leaders can guide individuals to resources that suit their comprehension needs, ensuring that everyone can access the teachings of the scriptures. Encouraging open discussions about different translations can help create a welcoming atmosphere in church settings, allowing members to feel comfortable sharing their insights and questions without fear of judgment. 00:02:44 – Guest Introduction: John Hilton III 00:03:26 – Classroom Applications of Bible Translations 00:04:08 – John Hilton’s Projects with Scripture Central 00:04:50 – Changes in Church Handbook Regarding Bible Translations 00:08:34 – Discussion on Handbook Changes 00:14:33 – Historical Context of Bible Translations 00:19:07 – Addressing Concerns About Modern Translations 00:21:18 – Recommendations for Bible Translations 00:24:31 – Using Different Translations for Comprehension 00:26:04 – Importance of Accessible Translations for Youth 00:28:01 – Anticipating Classroom Dynamics with Various Translations 00:30:21 – Creating a Respectful Classroom Environment 00:32:51 – Teaching Strategies for Engaging with Scriptures 00:41:18 – The Role of Listening to Scripture 00:44:10 – Speculation on Future Translations of Church Scriptures 00:47:44 – Encouraging Leaders to Support Comprehension in Others The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

When was the last time you really let yourself DREAM? Like, gave yourself full permission to get wild and audacious about your future?If you're like me, you might think you're a big dreamer—but you're actually thinking smaller than you're capable of.  In this solo episode, I'm getting nerdy about the relationship between dreaming big, hope, and your future self. And here's the surprising discovery: hope isn't an emotion—it's a learnable skill. What you'll learn: Why hope is a state of mind, not an emotion (and why that matters for goal-setting) How hopeful people are better problem-solvers with more cognitive flexibility The concept of "utopian performances"—how imagining your future changes your present Why dreaming big might feel arrogant or dangerous (but your utopia always includes community) The 5-year dreaming activity that challenged me to think bigger Here's what the research shows: Hopeful people are more motivated, better at problem-solving, and have brains that can imagine multiple possible futures. The coolest part? Hope is trainable. I geek out a bit on performance studies (my research area!) and talk about how theater creates spaces where people rehearse living different futures. Brazilian theater practitioner Augusto Boal used "Theater of the Oppressed" to help people literally rehearse for revolution. The Big Question: Are you holding back on a goal because it seems too scary? Does naming it out loud feel too hopeful—like you're setting yourself up for disappointment? Your Challenge: Before you set your next goal, check your state of mind. Are you feeling hopeful? If not, cultivate a hopeful mind first—one that's motivated, good at problem-solving, and able to imagine your ideal future self. By just dreaming, you'll find yourself acting differently in the present. Your future self will come together faster than you ever thought possible. Mentioned in this episode: Mitch Matthews (Dream Think Do & Encouraging the Encouragers podcasts) Brené Brown's "Atlas of the Heart" Jill Dolan's "Utopia in Performance" Augusto Boal's "Theater of the Oppressed" Resources: Sense the Possibilities Planner & Journal (20+ worksheets to help you connect with yourself before setting goals) Plan Goal Plan 2026 Weekly Planner Quarterly Plan Goal Plan Your Year Retreats (dates at plangoalplan.com/retreats) Connect with me: Email: support@plangoalplan.com Facebook Group: Join Here Website: PlanGoalPlan.com LinkedIn: (I post most here!) www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-mcgeough-phd-

When elected officials tell residents to “show up” and “protect their neighbors” from immigration enforcement, that isn't compassion — it's recklessness.In this video, I break down why recent comments from Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey — with Governor Tim Walz standing beside him — cross a dangerous line. Encouraging civilians to interfere with law enforcement isn't protest. It isn't free speech. And it isn't harmless.Interfering with federal officers is a felony under federal law. When politicians imply immunity, deny backup, or shift blame onto officers for enforcing the law, they create chaos — and put both civilians and law enforcement at risk.This isn't about defending ICE as an institution. It's about accountability, public safety, and the rule of law.⬇️ Watch, think critically, and decide for yourself.

This could be the most encouraging sign for the housing market in years. It's the final month of 2025, and the housing market has flipped from this time last year. Real prices are down, mortgage rates are near a percent lower, inventory is stabilizing, and affordability…it's actually improving. But hints at a wave of underwater mortgages are making people nervous. With the number rising, is this the “distress” signal many have been waiting for? We're getting into it all: home price, mortgage rate, and inventory updates, plus a new seller trend that is causing serious confusion, and could be the final nail in the “housing market crash” coffin. With sellers doing what nobody expects, next year could get interesting. More homeowners are falling “underwater” on their mortgages. Is this a 2008 repeat or just a blip on the real estate radar? Some economists are worried about rising delinquencies, but a high-level view of the data could point to an entirely different conclusion. In This Episode We Cover Sellers do what nobody expects, and it's killing the “crash” narrative Underwater mortgages are surging, but are homeowners really in danger? The best news we've had in three years? A massive win for housing affordability Mortgage rate momentum and whether now is the right time to refinance The key affordability improvements we've seen since the start of 2025 And So Much More!

411 Encouraging Change and Growth   In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Rachael Bohns discuss the significance and necessity of change as well as the importance of acknowledging and catering to the strengths of yourself and those around you.    Highlights Doing what's best for you even if no one knows, and especially for your own sake. Collaboration and commitment instead of obligation. Driving desire.    Quotes "Most of the time change is thrusted upon us." "Change is individual to people." "Reward is individual."   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, My question for you is what will you do with this information? When you think about the ADKAR framework; the Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement, what example can you come up with from your life, where you had something that needed to change and you went through that process, or what if you had gone through that process would it have changed anything in your change? Made it more successful or faster. And then think about a change that's going on right now in your life, personal or professional or both, and use the ADKAR framework to see where you are in that spectrum. Are you at the beginning, are you at the desire stage, are you already at the reinforcement stage of your change and now you just need to consistently keep it?    And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Rachael (from her LinkedIn) Passionate Industrial/Organizational Psychologist that believes in the importance of a healthy workforce.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

Episode Summary. If you are disheartened, battered, discouraged or weary from fighting the good fight because of all the heartache and spiritual bruising my hope is that this episode will give such a clear picture of the colossal triumph of Messiah Jesus—and our part in that victory, that in some small way the pain is lessened, because we GRASP the ENORMITY of our WIN. For Further Prayerful ThoughtHow does Jesus' title Prince of Peace reinforce the truth that the gospel has four chapters, creation, fall, redemption, restoration and not just two, fall and redemption?What stood out to you about the meaning of the Hebrew word, shalom? Why would it be biblical to say that shalom is the answer to all the levels of poverty in the world?Why would you support the argument that one of the highest callings of Christians is to spread the kingdom of righteousness in their vocations?What aspects of kingdom righteousness in the workplace stood out to you?For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

Bold Prayers And Encouraging Perseverance Sermon By FBO Next Gen Pastor Will Spivey

The Family Brand New Year's Kickoff: A Tradition That Builds Culture Every year, right after Christmas — during those quiet, in-between days when no one quite knows what day it is — our family slows down and does something that has become one of our most meaningful traditions. We reflect. We celebrate. And we intentionally step into the new year together. In this solo episode, Melissa walks you through the Family Brand New Year's Kickoff, a simple, free activity that hundreds of families download every year — and come back to again and again. This year's version has been fully updated, and families continue to share how impactful it's been, from sparking meaningful conversations to even becoming the moment they announced a new baby to their kids. Melissa explains why reflection matters just as much as goal-setting, and how looking back before looking forward helps families build clarity, gratitude, and momentum. She shares how to use the reflection questions with kids of all ages (even toddlers), how to keep the process light and pressure-free, and why there's no "right" way to do this — just a way that works for your family. She also breaks down two of the most loved parts of the kickoff: Choosing a family word (or phrase) for the year — a shared language that shapes how your family shows up The annual Family Award Ceremony — a powerful moment where each child (and spouse!) is recognized not for achievements, but for who they are and how they showed up Melissa shares a deeply touching story about a family friend whose son, now leaving on a two-year mission, named this New Year's award ceremony as one of his favorite family memories — a reminder that these small traditions often leave the biggest impact. Finally, she walks through how they create vision boards as a family, why perfection isn't the goal, and shares a beautiful personal story about a vision board image that unexpectedly showed up for her on a bridge in Spain — a moment that felt like a quiet wink from God. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and start the year with intention — not pressure. You don't need a perfect plan. You just need a moment to pause and ask: Who do we want to be this year, together?

In this episode of The Motivatarian Exchange, Dionne Woods is joined by Saskatchewan-based artist Michele Rogers, whose powerful portrait work honors Indigenous First Nations women and reflects her Métis heritage through stories of strength, memory, and generational resilience. Michele's paintings give visual voice to grandmothers, granddaughters, and female warriors—women whose lives and legacies shape cultural identity. Her work is deeply intuitive and emotionally layered, rooted in storytelling rather than surface aesthetics. Through her art, Michele explores what it means to remember, to honor, and to create from lived experience. In this conversation, Dionne and Michele explore: How cultural heritage informs creative identity Painting as a form of remembrance and resistance The responsibility and reverence of telling women's stories through portraiture Finding confidence, leadership, and voice through the creative process Encouraging others to step into creativity without fear of outcome Michele shares reflections from her journey as a lifelong entrepreneur, community artist, and educator—from large-scale window installations in her hometown to teaching paint parties designed to build confidence and curiosity. She also speaks about recent career milestones, including award-winning work, gallery exhibitions, and her participation in The Art of Becoming, a documentary series exploring the evolution of creative women. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and consider how art can carry history, identity, and truth—especially for women navigating creativity, leadership, and becoming at every stage of life.
