Welcome to EPISODE 200 of Unapologetically Unstoppable!

In this heartfelt episode of The ME Show, Ali Medel sits down with Jacob for a raw and powerful conversation about childhood adversity, the weight of responsibility, and the resilience it takes to grow into the person you're meant to be.From growing up in Long Branch with financial struggles and complex family dynamics to navigating grief after the loss of his father, Jacob opens up about how discipline, spirituality, and gratitude helped him weather life's storms. He shares how faith became an anchor later in life, how injury challenged his identity, and how the legacy of family shaped the man he's become.This is more than a story of personal growth—it's a reminder that it's okay not to be okay, and that healing, purpose, and strength often emerge from life's hardest moments.

In this episode of The Leader's Journey Podcast, Jim sits down with Houston-area pastor Melissa Emerson to explore what it means to live faithfully in the midst of deep church change. After stepping into leadership of Mosaic Community Covenant Church following her father's sudden passing, Melissa and her husband have led their community through a nomadic, experimental journey—redefining what church can be in the most diverse suburb in the U.S. With honesty, wisdom, and a heart for justice, Melissa shares what it's been like to shed institutional expectations, rediscover community, and follow the Spirit's leading in uncharted territory. If you've ever felt disillusioned with “church as usual,” or if you're discerning a new way forward, this conversation offers courage and clarity for the road ahead. Melissa Lee Emerson is a third generation Chinese American woman co-pastoring Mosaic Community Covenant Church with her husband. Mosaic meets at a YMCA in the most diverse suburban county in the United States. Passionate about the intersection of faith and justice, Melissa dedicates her energy to the church, to Mosaic Learning Center, and raising her two daughters. She has a masters of divinity from North Park Theological Seminary with an emphasis on intercultural ministry and a bachelors in psychology with an emphasis on sociology and human development. She enjoys multicultural learning spaces and trips, especially if food is involved.  Conversation Overview: The shift from institutional church to a nomadic, mission-focused church Creative approaches to discernment  Developing missional partnerships Embracing Unlearning Rebuilding culture: resisting performance-driven worship and prioritizing outreach The role of emotional maturity, spiritual formation, and slowing down in adaptive leadership   Resources:  Mosaic Covenant Community Church Unlikely Nomads: In Search of the New Church by Terry Walling A prophetic and pastoral look at the shifting landscape of the North American Church and how leaders are navigating toward new expressions of faith. Shattered Dreams – a sermon by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A profound reflection on disappointment, surrender, and trusting God's larger purpose through unfulfilled expectations. Acts 1:8 Model A biblical framework used to guide outreach and mission—beginning in one's immediate community (“Jerusalem”) and expanding outward to the world.

Ever wonder what it takes to write a hit song? Try writing 84 of them. Ashley Gorley has accomplished what many thought impossible – becoming the most successful commercial songwriter of all time, surpassing even Paul McCartney's legendary catalog. This record-breaking achievement didn't happen overnight; it was built on years of dedication, countless hours in writing rooms, and an unmatched work ethic.From his humble beginnings making DJ remixes and blending acapellas with different musical backings, Gorley developed a versatile approach that would later serve him across multiple genres. While Nashville's country music scene became his primary canvas, his talents have extended far beyond, crafting hits for artists ranging from Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen to Bon Jovi and even earning a Grammy nomination with Weezer.What separates Gorley from other songwriters? Perhaps it's his unique process – often writing without touching an instrument, focusing purely on melody and lyrics before anything else. Or maybe it's his remarkable ability to sense a hit, though he admits being surprised when experimental songs like "That's My Kind of Night" and "T-Shirt" became massive successes. More likely, it's his philosophy of originality: "Don't write B versions of what's already out there... what can you bring to the table that we don't already have?"Despite his professional triumphs, Gorley's priorities remain firmly rooted in faith and family. Rather than chasing material possessions, he's invested his success in experiences, taking his children on meaningful trips around the world and mentoring the next generation of songwriters. Through his publishing company, he's helped foster another 50 number one hits beyond his personal catalog.For aspiring writers, his advice is both encouraging and sobering: find your creative community, be open to criticism, and prepare for rejection. The path isn't easy – Gorley wrote for seven years before his first hit – but for those willing to put in the work and offer something unique, Nashville still offers that rare opportunity where a great song can be recorded simply because someone loves it.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

From college football dreams to pickleball excellence, Dorion Brown's journey to becoming head pro at Pickleball Kingdom in Plano, Texas is a masterclass in perseverance, emotional intelligence, and dedicated practice.The second part of our conversation with Dorion dives deep into what transformed a recreational player from Wilmington, North Carolina into a 4.8-rated competitor with professional aspirations. With nearly 56,000 teaching hours under his belt, Dorian shares the "neurological hacks" that have helped him elevate countless players from 3.0 to 4.5 ratings through focused training techniques.At the heart of Dorion's philosophy is a refreshingly humble approach: "Pride always comes before the fall," he reminds us. His emphasis on selflessness extends to his training methodologies, where he advocates for deliberate practice on hitting walls, using sweet spot finders, and understanding your optimal striking zone through concepts like the "one-foot force field." These aren't just technical tips—they're mindset shifts that transform how players approach the game.Particularly fascinating is Dorion's stance on the power versus placement debate. "Placement over power wins," he insists, encouraging players to "live for another shot" rather than forcing high-risk plays. His advocacy for rally scoring during practice creates accountability that traditional scoring lacks, preventing players from repeating the same mistakes without consequences.What truly distinguishes Dorion is how he's woven his faith and values into his coaching approach. The transition from "Team Dorian" to "Team Pickleball Kingdom with Dorion attached to it" reflects a maturity that extends beyond the court. His commitment to the facility's core values—"faith, family, and work"—creates an environment where pickleball becomes more than sport; it becomes community.Whether you're battling the yips with your serve, struggling to find consistency in your dinking game, or looking to take your skills to tournament level, Dorion's insights offer a roadmap to improvement through intentional practice and mindful play. Listen now and transform not just how you play, but how you approach the mental game of pickleball.Want to find out for yourself? Download the Aim7 app today.
