This is Life of an Architect, a podcast dedicated to all things architecture with a little bit of life thrown in for balance. We've all had days where the drawing set grows by thirty pages and the inbox doubles before noon. A consultant goes silent, a client changes their mind, and just when the printer jams, someone asks if you've “had a chance to think big.” The pace is relentless, the roles are blurred, and the weight of expectations never really lets up. Some of it is systemic. Some of it is self-imposed. But all of it demands more from architects than the job description ever promised. Today, Andrew and I are unpacking the stress points, the structural cracks, and the deeply human experience of navigating them. Welcome to Ep 178: Under Pressure [Note: If you are reading this via email, click here to access the on-site audio player]  This was an interesting topic to prepare for - mostly because like all of the posts I write, or topics Andrew and I discuss, we ultimately want them to be of some value. While it might be fun for some people to listen to us come onto the show and complain about things for an hour, I'm not sure my partners would appreciate it. So here we are, trying to discuss a topic titled "Under Pressure" and have it NOT devolve into a therapy session. Andrew had this topic on his list and as I was working through topic ideas, the title is evocative. Now that my curiosity was piqued, I started going back through old blog posts and podcast episode to see if I could find a handful of items we had previously discussed that would help provide some structure to our conversation today. 1. The Expectation for Instant Results jump to 05:07 7132 Therme & Spa Vals by Peter Zumthor The pace of architectural production has sped up—clients expect renderings in days, permit sets in weeks. The design process, once iterative and reflective, now must deliver answers at the speed of email. There are a lot of different kinds of pressure in this profession, and over time, most of us come to know them well. Some are situational—deadlines, clients, budgets. Others are structural—shifting expectations, evolving roles, and an industry that sometimes feels like it's changing faster than we can keep up. One of the clearest pressures we face today is the expectation for instant results. Clients, consultants, and even team members are conditioned by technology to expect immediate answers. The result is a process that often skips over reflection in favor of speed. The time it takes to think deeply, test ideas, or simply pause and consider—all of that gets compressed. It's not that we don't want to be responsive, but the design process was never meant to move at the speed of text messages. There's also an emotional cost to this kind of urgency. There's a quiet anxiety in always feeling behind, like no matter how fast you move, it's never quite fast enough. It's especially difficult in architecture, where the best ideas don't always show up on a schedule. When everything is a rush, the design process starts to lose its richness. There's less iteration, less time for feedback, and less joy in discovery. I've had to learn when to push back—when to explain why that extra day might lead to a better outcome. It's not always easy, especially when it feels like everyone else is racing ahead. But sometimes, resisting that pressure is part of protecting the integrity of the work. There is a Peter Zumthor quote I mention at the 12:45 mark that I think is particularly suitable for this bit of our conversation. Points to me for remembering that it exists, points off for me absolutely destroying in my attempts to share it. Read it down below and hopefully they next time someone asks you to work faster, you will be better prepared to articulate why things take time to make properly.  https://www.lifeofanarchitect.com/the-finished-building-is-your-best-argument/ 2.

God has good plans for your life and that's the bottom line. You operating within those plans is contingent upon your expectation. In part 2 of this new series Pastor BJ Sullivan teaches on how to move from negative expectation to positive expectation.

Picking up where they left off, Lisa and Kendra G dive even deeper into the lies women are told—and tell themselves—about love, relationships, and self-worth. Part 2 gets into the nitty-gritty of how to stop comparison, heal from toxic relationships, and become the kind of woman everyone wants to be around: truly confident, truly unshakeable. Kendra and Lisa tackle the hardest truths about being “too picky,” the myth that women aren't “complete” until chosen, and how unrealistic expectations derail happiness. They also get vulnerable, discussing the aftermath of heartbreak, the slow erosion of self-esteem in bad relationships, and the moment-to-moment battles to refuse to lower your standards. Expect actionable wisdom on self-assessment, rebuilding after a breakup, and making sure your confidence is built on YOUR foundation—not someone else's validation. Plus, a little fun as they talk about Kendra's dating app and spicy new card game!

Continuing in Romans, this week we're talking about how differently we live our lives when we are in expectation of not just Christ's return, but eternity with Him.

Daily Study: Let's look at having a heart to give to others without an expectation of receiving something back from them. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com                  

This week, we’re continuing our series called “Flip the Script.” We have established that the world has a script, a set of expectations that people are supposed to follow. However, the Word of God tells us in Romans 12 that we’re not supposed to conform to those customs and behaviors; if we’re going to be followers of Jesus, we have to live according to His will for our lives and flip the script in every area. Just like other things, the world has a script they want us to follow about money, but the way believers approach money should look different. Our basic understanding of money should come from the Bible. If every good and perfect gift comes from God, there is no such thing as YOUR money. We’re merely stewards of what the Lord has blessed us with, distributing it according to His priorities and principles.

God has good plans for your life and that's the bottom line. You operating within those plans is contingent upon your expectation. In part one of this new series Pastor BJ Sullivan reminds us of what God sees in us, how to apply that truth in every situation we face, and to look to the future with positive expectation!

In hour 2, the Midday Show talks to Ron Jaworski and get his view of some current Eagles players and coaches and what he expects for the 2025 season.

The most powerful force in the universe isn't gravity, electricity, or even love. It's expectation. Right now, in this very moment, people across the world are experiencing wonderful, even miraculous events – not because they're luckier than you, not because they've mastered complicated manifestation techniques, but because they've activated a specific neurological and energetic state that literally magnetizes extraordinary circumstances. This state doesn't require years of meditation or spiritual practice. It doesn't demand perfect thoughts or flawless vibration. It operates on a completely different principle – one that works whether you believe in it or not. We've been taught that expectation is a form of wishful thinking, a passive hope that something might eventually happen. That's not expectation. That's waiting. True expectation is an active force that reconfigures your brain's neural pathways, alters your electromagnetic field, and broadcasts a specific signature that the universe can't help but respond to. The ancients understood this. Quantum physicists are beginning to understand this. And by the end of this activation, you'll not only understand it – you'll be embodying it.

Hey Doc ,This month, I'm doing something a little different. Every episode of Stethoscopes and Strollers in June is for the dads.Not because they deserve a standing ovation.But because they're part of the story. Your story.And I know, this might bring up some feelings.Especially if you've been carrying more than your share of the load.Especially if it feels like you've had to do the emotional labor for everyone, including the person you thought would be your partner.In this episode, I'm talking about what I now understand to be the real issue behind so much of the frustration I felt in early parenthood:The expectation gap.The quiet but powerful beliefs we carry, about how motherhood would feel, what our partner would do, and what we should be able to handle.Where those expectations come from.And why they often go unspoken until we're already at our breaking point.This isn't about letting anyone off the hook.It's about giving you the insight (and tools) to make change — not just in your marriage, but in your household, your nervous system, and your legacy.Inside, I share:

Guest Bio: Jena Holliday is the author of Sacred Creativity and a full-time artist, author, entrepreneur, and storyteller. She is the creator and owner of Spoonful of Faith, an illustration and design studio. With just a bit of faith, she walked away from her mainstream marketing job to embrace her passion for art. What started as a hobby eventually evolved into a full-time commitment to spread kindness and hope through her artwork and words. That commitment blossomed into a blog and shop, aptly named Spoonful of Faith, and has thus become not only a successful business but a cultural beacon. Jena has been featured on Good Morning America, Ebony, Essence, People, Nylon, The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo, Artful Living, and many more prominent outlets.     Show Summary: What gifts do you think God has blessed you with? Do you see creativity in your gifts? Oftentimes we neglect to notice the diverse ways that God has blessed each of us with creativity. It does not always have to be writing, drawing, painting, or doing a craft. Jena Holliday has found that being creative can grant us a different type of connection with the Lord. Join hosts Elisa Morgan and Eryn Eddy Adkins as they learn about sacred creativity with Jena during this God Hears Her conversation.    Notes and Quotes:   “Why are you asking everyone else where to go, who to be, and what do except the One who created you?” —Jena Holliday  “God didn't make a mistake when He made us who we are. It wasn't by chance; it wasn't a coincidence. It was on purpose. That really helped me to step into the fullness of the voice that the Lord had given me.” —Jena Holliday  “What I have learned is that there is a hunger to see the different ways that the image of God is reflected on the earth. It's cool to be in this position as an artist and illustrator because I have the unique role of creating something in a visual way that doesn't require words. It was always important to me that I showcase different women and different images and illustrations of people because I wanted them to feel seen. I wanted people to know that they were loved, heard, and that their stories matter.” —Jena Holliday  “You should use [your gift] as a way to honor the Gift Giver, the One who has given it to you. We all have a corner of this earth where we get to use our gifts. Whatever God does to multiply it, that's Him—that's not on us. That's not our responsibility.” —Jena Holliday  “If you have something that God has given you and it's still neatly wrapped in a box, I think that's an invitation to open it up, spend a little time with it, and see what He does with it.” —Jena Holliday  “Everyone should take the risk to use the gifts that God has given them.” —Jena Holliday  “The way that Jesus loves us is so deep is that He will come after you. He will come find you again and guide you back to where He would like you to be and you get to keep walking forward together.” —Jena Holliday      Related Episodes:  Ep 141: Rethinking Creativity with Rachel Marie Kang: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/rethinking-creativity/  Ep 163: Mindful Creativity with Anh Lin: https://godhearsher.org/podcast/mindful-creativity/    Links:   Jena's book Sacred Creativity: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Creativity-Inspiration-Reclaim-God-Given/dp/0593581474  Jena Holliday's Website: https://www.spoonfuloffaith.com/  Jena's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aspoonfuloffaith/  God Hears Her website: https://go.odb.org/ghh191   Watch the episode on the God Hears Her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GodHearsHerODBM  God Hears Her email sign-up: https://go.odb.org/ghh-sign-upsfmc191   Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast  Shop God Hears Her books and resources: https://go.odb.org/ghh-shop191   Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/  Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/  Vivian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivmabuni/  Our Daily Bread Ministries website: https://go.odb.org/odbm191

"My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from him." Psalm 62:5 There is an innate power when people live life in a state of divine expectation. There is nothing between you and your miracle, when you approach God with an expecting, anticipating, believing spirit! God has been faithful in your past. And, God will be faithful in your future. What are you expecting God to do in your life? In this series, we'll explore the promises of God and raise our expectations. Expect it!

Pastor Jose teaches how believers can do things wrong but they are never failing God. His only expectation is for us to believe. We are righteous through Jesus, not our behavior.  Audio>

This message from Luke 21:5-19 emphasizes that followers of Jesus should live faithfully in the present, trusting in God's sovereignty and enduring trials as opportunities to bear witness through the power of the Holy Spirit. Rather than focusing on the signs of the end times, believers are called to abide in Christ, be filled with the Spirit, and live as empowered witnesses of His truth, even in the face of persecution.

Mary welcomes back Carl Kerby, creationist and apologist at Reasons for Hope Ministry where equipping a new generation to boldly defend truth is the priority. Today we chat with Carl on two separate topics: "Appreciation or Expectation?", and the one-letter difference between a "Word" view and a "World" view. What are the main things that separate the two approaches - Word and World (besides one lonely letter!) - for our understanding of life? Well, creation for one, which really does establish the ground work for all we believe. Is it chance or design? Other things that separate us from the world are how we value life, our moral base, our identity and our destiny. We also take a look at the difference between "appreciation" and "expectation". One exists in the here-and-now; the other exists in the unknown future and can be a true relationship killer when we presume what we deserve. The opposite of appreciation is insensitivity, disrespect, callousness, and disapproval. If you have ever had a parent who was never satisfied, or a boss who took credit for everything, you know how it feels to be unappreciated, invisible, and devalued. What does the Bible say? All this and more from Carl Kerby, co-creator of "DeBunk'd" videos,  "Weapons of Mass Instruction", "Fast Facts" and much more.

Everyone wants the six-figure med device job, but most people have no idea what it actually takes to get there. Learn the hard truths about breaking into the industry. Why most candidates fail, what top companies are really looking for, and how to become the kind of person they feel lucky to hire.Key TakeawaysUnderstand that medical device sales isn't like a regular job where you apply and get hired after a couple of interviews. You're going up against experienced professionals and even current reps who want a better gig.Make sure you show up like a professional. Being chill might work with your friends, but it won't land you a six-figure job talking to surgeons and execs. No jeans and T-shirts at interviews. No “lit” or “dog” in conversations.Knowing someone in the industry might get you an intro or a first-round interview, but it won't carry you through the whole process. You still have to earn it. Every company is different, and connections alone won't cut it.You've got to level up your mindset. Don't chase the six-figure job thinking money alone will solve everything. You need to become the kind of person who deserves that paycheck. Companies would feel lucky to hire you.Age doesn't matter as much as how prepared and professional you are. Maturity, attitude, and consistency are what win the job, not your resume alone.00:00 - Start01:12 - EXPECTATION #103:30 - EXPECTATION #205:15 - EXPECTATION #307:34 - EXPECTATION #4

Scripture: Acts 1–2 | The Day of Pentecost What if waiting wasn't wasted time—but preparation for a divine move? In this powerful Pentecost message, Pastor [Insert Name] unpacks "The Day of Expectation," a moment that forever changed the course of history. More than just a day of power, Pentecost was a prophetic appointment, rich with spiritual symbolism—and full of relevance for your life today. Through a dynamic, waterfall-style teaching, you'll discover how the early Church waited with expectation—and how their obedience, hunger, and readiness opened the door to an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS MESSAGE: 1. A Spiritual Harvest Begins • Pentecost (Greek: Pentēkostē, meaning “fiftieth”) was more than a Jewish festival—it was the first-fruits of a greater spiritual harvest. • On this day, 3,000 souls were saved (Acts 2:41), as the Holy Spirit marked the birth of the Church. • God transformed an offering of crops into an offering of people—redeemed and empowered for mission. 2. A New Law Written on Hearts • At Mt. Sinai, the Law was given on stone tablets. • At Pentecost, the Spirit came to write God's law on our hearts. • Where 3,000 died in rebellion (Ex. 32:28), now 3,000 live in grace—judgment reversed through Christ. 3. God's Perfect Timing • This wasn't just a spiritual outpouring—it was a divine strategy. • God empowered the disciples and positioned the Gospel to spread to the nations. WAITING WITH EXPECTATION MEANS: Obedience Even in Uncertainty Acts 1:4-5 — Jesus commanded the disciples to wait in Jerusalem. Waiting isn't passive—it's faith-filled obedience. Spiritual Hunger Is Stirred Acts 1:14 — They weren't distracted… they were devoted. Prayer and unity prepared them for power. Preparation for What God Has Prepared Waiting creates space. Expectation creates posture. When you're ready for God to move, you won't miss it when He does.

Through the Fire – Part 5 | Dreams, Dirt & Grace What do you do when you obey God, pour your heart into the journey, and the ending still doesn't look like what you hoped for? In this episode, I'm sharing the heartbreak of being released from Fire Academy just weeks before graduation—and the peace God gave me in the middle of it. This is a real look at unmet expectations, holy redirection, and the truth that even when the dream changes, God's faithfulness does not. If you're grieving an outcome you didn't choose, this one's for you.       If you want to learn how to embrace the Dirt on your journey, come join me over on Substack at kawailani.substack.com

"My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from him." Psalm 62:5 There is an innate power when people live life in a state of divine expectation. There is nothing between you and your miracle, when you approach God with an expecting, anticipating, believing spirit! God has been faithful in your past. And, God will be faithful in your future. What are you expecting God to do in your life? In this five week series, we'll explore the promises of God and raise our expectations. Expect it!

What If Obedience Isn't the Same as Respect? We all want to raise good kids — respectful, obedient, and successful. But what if obedience is just compliance… no connection? In this episode, I dive deep into the final chapter of Netflix's Adolescence, and the heartbreaking unraveling of Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old boy whose silent pain led to tragedy. His father, Eddie, never saw it coming. Why? Because the connection was missing, even though he thought he was doing everything “right.” I open up about how even committed, hardworking dads like us can miss the quiet red flags our kids are waving. We explore how our need to discipline, protect, and “fix” can sometimes get in the way of the one thing our kids need most: to feel seen and safe. This episode isn't about shame. It's about waking up. Because your influence as a dad doesn't come from authority—it comes from emotional safety. If you've ever believed “my kid is doing fine,” this might be the most eye-opening 20 minutes you'll spend all year. I'll also give you a practical framework to help you ask better questions, create deeper emotional connections, and build a relationship your kids will trust—especially when things get tough. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this episode, I share: Why “How was your day?” might be the weakest way to check in The 3 fatherhood defaults that kill connection: Distance, Disapproval, and Discipline How to use the CARE method (Curiosity, Affirmation, Repair, Expectation) to reconnect with your child Why our kids confuse disconnection with disinterest—and how to fix it The real reason obedience without emotional connection doesn't build trust Here's what research supports about the power of action and intention: Studies show that couples who engage in regular, small acts of kindness report a 28% increase in relationship satisfaction. Research indicates that setting specific, shared goals increases the likelihood of improved communication and intimacy by 35%. Prioritizing quality time has been shown to reduce feelings of loneliness in relationships by 20%. If you're ready to stop waiting for motivation and start actively building a stronger, more connected marriage, this episode is for you. Let's take that first step together. www.thedadedge.com/friday208 www.themensforge.com www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/alliance
