In this episode, Pastor Karl kicks off a new 10-week sermon series diving into the letters of 1st and 2nd Timothy. Speaking on Mother's Day, he highlights the powerful influence of faithful mothers and grandmothers, drawing from Timothy's own story, shaped by his mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois. Pastor Karl emphasizes the core theme of these letters: what a Jesus community believes—its doctrine—directly shapes how it lives. Exploring 1st Timothy Chapter 1, he unpacks Paul's charge to Timothy, a young leader in Ephesus, to remain steadfast in a challenging environment, teaching sound doctrine and resisting cultural confusion. Pastor Karl outlines six reasons to "remain" in faith: hard places need hard truth, God's people are needed, God uses unworthy people, we serve a great God, the battle for faith is too important to surrender, and some have already fallen away. With passion, he calls the church to stand under Scripture, guard doctrine, and trust in God's grace to live faithfully. Join us for an inspiring start to this series, urging believers to press in and stay committed.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

From Combat to Calling: How Chris Jung Found Faith and Fatherhood   In this deeply moving episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Chris Jung, a military veteran, husband, and father, for an emotional journey through war, trauma, healing, and redemption. Chris opens up about his deployment to Afghanistan, the loss of a friend in combat, and the invisible wounds of PTSD that followed him home.   From the adrenaline of firefights and close calls with death, to the heartbreak of watching a friend's life taken in an instant, Chris shares the harrowing reality of military life with raw honesty. But the battles didn't stop when he came home. Like so many veterans, Chris found himself trying to survive civilian life with trauma he didn't know how to process—turning to alcohol to numb the pain, isolate, and escape.   What followed was a hard-fought climb toward healing. Chris talks about the darkness of suicidal thoughts, the moment he picked up the phone instead of the gun, and the powerful role his wife played in helping him face his demons. Their story of love, resilience, and faith is a testament to the strength of community and the power of accountability.   Nick and Chris dive deep into the challenges of marriage after trauma, the lessons learned through fatherhood, and what it means to break generational cycles. Chris also shares how he's turning pain into purpose—leading his family with intention, serving on his local fire department, and giving back through his business, Stuff Etc. in Waterloo, which is donating 10% of Father's Day sales to the Domestic Dad Project.   This episode is a must-listen for veterans, parents, and anyone navigating trauma, grief, or the long road to becoming the person they were meant to be. Chris's story is a reminder that no matter how broken you feel, healing is possible—and you are never alone in the fight.   00:00 Introduction and Greetings 01:10 Childhood Memories and Challenges 04:49 Struggles with ADHD and School 13:21 Reconnecting with Estranged Father 21:10 Joining the Military 24:53 Deployment to Afghanistan 30:35 Patrolling the Sangar Valley 31:27 The Tragic Loss of Donny 33:25 Dealing with the Aftermath 36:28 A Lighter Mission 36:59 Unexpected Firefight 40:16 Battle of Dab 47:35 Returning Home and Coping 49:34 Struggles with Alcohol 52:37 Meeting My Wife 57:31 Adjusting to Family Life 01:00:16 Battling Depression and PTSD 01:03:39 Therapy and the Role of a Supportive Spouse 01:05:43 The Importance of Honesty in Marriage 01:11:29 Parenting Lessons and Disciplinary Approaches 01:16:58 The Role of Faith in Overcoming Fear 01:19:30 Memorable Moments and Lessons for Children 01:26:52 Advice for Veterans and Community Support   ⸻   Website: www.domesticdadproject.com YouTube: @DomesticDadProject Facebook: Domestic Dad Project Instagram: @the_domestic_dad_project   ⸻ Connect with Chris: https://www.facebook.com/chris.jung.7712

“Last words I ever told him was I love him and keep fighting. So that's what I'm gonna live by from now on, just keep fighting, keep going no matter the circumstance but just keep on going.” Jack Bech We try to find the right words to capture the impact and emotion of this episode, but this is one, that when you listen to it, you'll understand how rare and special of a human Jack Bech is and why any NFL team who drafts him, will instantly be better for it. Whether you're an athlete, a dreamer, or someone rebuilding from a loss, this episode is a reminder: the pivot isn't the end — it's where growth begins. Ryan, Channing and Fred visit Lafayette, Louisiana, home of the Bech family and sit with Jack at the place his football career all started, St. Thomas More Catholic High School. Recent tragedy struck his family as his older brother, Tiger, was a victim of the Bourbon Street New Year's Eve attack. Jack opens up on the horrific moments of that night as he reflects on losing his brother who he idolized in every aspect from football to his faith to being his best friend since he was a young boy. In a special moment, he reveals something that he hasn't publicly shared yet about losing his brother and why now is the right time to share, With Jack projected to be a day two pick in the upcoming NFL draft, he shares that NFL teams are getting a two-for-one special as he is no longer just playing for him, but his brother too. As a wide receiver, his football journey has been anything but linear. From LSU to TCU, Jack opens up about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the headspace it takes to bet on yourself when the world starts doubting you. Coming off a dominant final year in college ball, Jack shares how he's turned grief into grit—navigating injuries, transfers, and the pressure of expectations while holding tight to his love for the game. His family's heartbreak is added-fuel towards fulfilling his dream of a long successful NFL career and names a few star wide receivers he admires and models his game after from Cooper Kupp to LSU friends Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Malik Nabers, taking pieces of their style to craft into his own. Jack is ready for wherever his journey takes him next and his guardian angel will be there to join him in any NFL city he calls home, and if you don't believe him, just watch. The Pivot Family will be rooting for Jack and his family this weekend as his football fate is determined. Don't forget to subscribe and comment below. Learn more about your ad choices.

After about a decade of being frustrated, depressed, and unsatisfied with how much her lack of social skills and social anxiety was stunting her personal and eventually her professional growth, she had had enough of constantly avoiding social outings just to prevent potential social interactions. Her story is a little more unique because of her experience with being autistic, which was the source of many social and communication deficits. Because she was able to overcome her social and communication skills deficits despite being on the autism spectrum, she uses her platform and her 1-on-1 coaching services to help fellow introverted misfits who struggle with socializing and finding community – whether they are autistic or not – learn how to connect with others, create fruitful relationships, and have a manageable social life – without acting extroverted! ___________________________________________________________________________CONNECT with Lori: Facebook: @LoriMJewettInstagram: @jewettloriThe “80HD Book” - ORDER HERE! This isn't just another podcast—it's a deep dive into the raw, unfiltered power within YOU.

Send us a textWhat happens when you're born into a family of powerhouse singers, but you're the one who can't carry a tune? For Valencia Smith, better known as DJ Jodi Jo, that dilemma became the catalyst for discovering her true calling behind the turntables. In this heartfelt conversation, we explore how a music-loving girl from Louisiana's 318 area transformed from playing songs on an iPad to commanding dance floors across the region.DJ Jodi Jo takes us through her remarkable journey, from those early days when two uncles recognized her budding talent to her breakthrough moment at a Shreveport casino when she realized DJing could be more than just a hobby. With candid humor, she describes growing up in a family where "all them Smiths be singing" at church and community events, while she handed out programs from the sidelines. That musical heritage, though initially intimidating, ultimately inspired her to find her own unique path of expression.The conversation delves into the rich musical landscape of northern Louisiana, where zydeco rhythms energize crowds at everything from nightclubs to children's birthday parties. As a 4'10" female in the male-dominated worlds of both technology and DJing, Jodi Jo shares her ongoing challenge of asserting her expertise without reinforcing stereotypes. Her approach to music selection—balancing her personal love for 80s and 90s classics with contemporary trends—reveals a DJ committed to reading rooms and energizing audiences rather than simply showcasing technical skills.Throughout it all, faith remains her anchor. "Whatever talent God blesses you with, he's going to get the glory," she explains, framing her career as a divine calling to bring joy and positivity to communities. Whether she's discussing how TikTok helps her stay current or reflecting on her unexpected success, DJ Jodi Jo's authenticity and passion for music shine through—proving that sometimes the most meaningful contributions come from following the unexpected path.Want to experience DJ Jodi Jo's unique musical vision for yourself?
