The Drywall Podcast — Episode 172: Revisiting The 3way with Royce Lennox & Steve Brown Can you believe it's been three years? On this episode of The Drywall Podcast, we are doing one of my absolute favorite things: revisiting past guests to see just how far their journey has taken them. Back in 2023 on Episode 37, I sat down with Royce Lennox and Steve Brown just as they were launching what would become an industry-changing product: the 3way. Now, they are back for their second appearance, and we are diving deep into the grueling, rewarding, and fascinating world of product development and marketing. Breaking a new product into the drywall space is notoriously difficult. It's a traditional industry where pros stick to what they know. But Royce and Steve cracked the code. While Royce brings over 40 years of elite, hands-on drywall finishing experience to the table as the brains behind the product, it was Steve's visionary marketing perspective that changed everything. Steve persuaded them to take a massive leap of faith—not just by taking a financial risk on a new idea, but by essentially giving the 3way concept away to the masses to build an organic, unstoppable movement. What to Expect in This Episode: The Blooper Reel: We kick things off a bit differently this time. Enjoy a hilarious montage of technical blunders spliced together into a mosaic of comedy before we dive into the heavy hitting topics. The Marketing Grind: An honest conversation about the grit it takes to inject a brand-new tool into a stubborn market and win over old-school finishers. The Leap of Faith: How a brilliant idea transitions from a jobsite hack into a mass-manufactured, international product. Get Paid to Post: Find out how sharing your own experience with their product on Instagram could land a few hundred dollars in your pocket. Royce and Steve are truly as nice as they come in this trade, and by the time the credits roll, you might just find yourself planning to have a 3way on your next project.

Welcome to our Heidelberg Catechism devotionals! In this episode, Pastor Jason Van Bemmel of Forest Hill Presbyterian Church wraps up Week 22 by exploring Question #65. If we are made right before God by faith alone, where does that saving faith actually come from? Pastor Jason unpacks how God doesn't just demand faith, but actively provides it. In this episode, we cover: The Source of Faith: How the Holy Spirit actively works faith into our hearts. The Word and the Spirit: Why faith isn't generated by our own willpower, but is birthed through the preaching of the Gospel (Romans 10:17). The Power of the Sacraments: How Baptism and the Lord's Supper serve as visible, tangible confirmations to strengthen the faith God has given us. A Covenant Confirmation: Looking at how signs like circumcision and the Lord's Supper act as a seal of the righteousness we have by faith. To learn more about our church, visit: foresthillpca.org

What happens when your theology collides with reality on the mission field? In this powerful episode of Very Bold Radio and Podcast, host Steve Teel sits down with San Antonio native Steven Navarro, who has spent the last 11 years serving across the globe with Youth With A Mission (YWAM). Fresh off the plane from Amsterdam, Steven shares incredible, firsthand accounts of the supernatural—from a shriveled ear opening in a Bangkok street-food market to supernatural food multiplication at an orphanage, and the unexplainable appearance of gold dust and thick oil. But this isn't just a collection of wild miracle stories. Steven opens up about the deep "spiritual dissonance" that occurs when you witness God move in power overseas while your own family members are facing severe illnesses back home. Diving into Matthew 11, Steven unpacks the profound question John the Baptist asked Jesus from a prison cell, uncovering a vital truth for every Christian navigating the tension between hard realities and supernatural faith. Key Takeaways & Highlights The Bangkok Street-Food Miracle: Steven recounts the nerve-wracking moment he felt a prompt from the Holy Spirit to pray for a Thai street-food vendor with a completely shriveled, deaf ear—and what happened when he stepped past the cultural barriers to touch it. God's Power: Unpacking the phenomena of gold dust on Bibles and thick oil pooling in empty palms, Steven shares how his early skepticism gave way to viewing these unexplainable signs as gentle, encouraging "winks" of God's presence. Why Miracles "Split the Room": A fascinating look into why supernatural breakthroughs often stir up complex emotions, sometimes leading to half the room rejoicing while the other half struggles with frustration or offense. Navigating the Dissonance of Faith: How to handle the painful tension of seeing a stranger healed on the mission field while your own loved ones are still waiting for a miracle. The Blessing of Not Being Offended: A beautiful, slide-by-slide deep dive into Christ’s response to John the Baptist in Matthew 11: "Blessed is the one who is not offended by me." Learn how to choose trust and protect your heart from spiritual resentment when God's timing doesn't match your expectations. Connect with the Show: Missed an episode or want to share your thoughts?

In this study of Romans chapter 3, we examine the Apostle Paul's argument regarding humanity's spiritual condition and the necessity of the gospel. The passage clearly outlines that all people—both Jews and Gentiles—are under sin and that no human being can be justified by the works of the law. Key topics covered: The Purpose of the Law: How the law brings the knowledge of sin and holds the world accountable to God. Universal Unrighteousness: An examination of verses 10-18, emphasizing that "none is righteous, no, not one." Justification by Faith: How the righteousness of God is manifested apart from the law and given as a gift to all who believe. Redemption and Propitiation: Understanding Christ's sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and absorb the wrath of God. The study concludes by explaining how justification through faith alone eliminates all human boasting, pointing entirely to the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Measure of Faith | How to Grow What God Has Already Given You God has given every believer a measure of faith—but what you do with it is up to you. In this message, we learn that faith isn't a feeling, a formula, or something reserved for the spiritually elite. It's a muscle we can build. And it grows when we lean into God's Word, pray in the Spirit, worship through uncertainty, and trust God more than our own strength.

Faith - How you handle the Word of God matters.

In this powerful and deeply compassionate episode of the Thrive Today Podcast, host Natalie Born sits down with trauma-trained therapist and faith-based speaker Ciara Freeman to explore what healing truly looks like when faith and psychology work together. Ciara unpacks how unresolved trauma shapes our behaviors, relationships, and spiritual lives—and why avoiding pain often keeps us bound rather than free. Through biblical wisdom, clinical insight, and personal experience, this conversation reframes healing as a courageous, intentional choice. From emotional regulation and nervous system awareness to surrender, discipleship, and renewed identity in Christ, this episode invites listeners to stop numbing, start noticing, and choose the hard road that leads to freedom, wholeness, and lasting transformation. [00:00 – 03:00] Why Healing Is a Choice - What Ciara means by “choosing your hard.” - Why staying stuck can feel easier than healing. - How avoidance quietly reinforces bondage. [03:01 – 06:30] Trauma, the Nervous System, and Faith - How trauma lives in the body—not just the mind. - Understanding fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses. - Why spiritual practices alone don't always heal trauma. [06:31 – 10:00] When Faith Is Used to Bypass Pain - The difference between faith and emotional suppression. - Why “just pray about it” can sometimes delay healing. - How God works through both Scripture and science. [10:01 – 13:30] Renewing the Mind Requires Safety - Why regulation must come before transformation. - How safety creates space for truth to land. - What renewal looks like beyond positive thinking. [13:31 – 17:00] Identity, Attachment, and Belonging - How early attachment impacts adult relationships. - Why trauma distorts our view of God and ourselves. - Returning to identity as sons and daughters—not survivors. [17:01 – 20:30] Discomfort as a Pathway to Freedom - Why healing often feels harder before it feels lighter. - The cost of numbing versus the cost of obedience. - Choosing growth even when emotions resist. [20:31 – 24:00] Integrating Healing into Daily Life - Practical tools for emotional awareness and regulation. - Creating rhythms that support nervous system health. - Partnering with God in the healing process. [24:01 – End] Hope, Freedom, and the Courage to Begin - Why freedom is possible for everyone. - Trusting God with the process—not just the outcome. - An invitation to take the next faithful step. Quotes ; “Freedom doesn't come from avoiding pain—it comes from facing it with God.” – Ciara Freeman “Healing isn't about fixing yourself; it's about allowing truth and safety to meet.” – Ciara Freeman “You can love God deeply and still need help healing your nervous system.” – Ciara Freeman About the Guest: Ciara Freeman Ciara Freeman is a trauma-trained therapist and faith-based speaker passionate about bridging the gap between psychology and Christianity. With over five years in private practice, she helps individuals experience emotional healing and spiritual restoration through a Biblical lens. She is the author of Choose Your Hard: The Road That Leads from Bondage to Freedom, where she invites readers into honest, courageous healing that leads to lasting freedom. When she's not counseling or leading worship, Ciara enjoys spending time near the water with her pup, Diego. Guest Links

Whiskey Review: Knob Creek Rye, 7 year Topic:  1 Corinthians 16:13–14 Follow us on all your podcast platforms and: Instagram: @manhoodneat X: Manhood Neat (@ManhoodNeat) / X Youtube: Manhood, Neat Podcast - YouTube Reach out: manhood.neat@gmail.com   Show Notes:   Scripture: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13–14 (ESV) “Be Watchful” What does Spiritual Vigilance look like? ““Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion.” — 1 Peter 5:8 (ESV)” Being watchful means being alert — guarding your home, your marriage, your heart. Spiritual drift happens slowly; vigilance prevents it. Modern distractions (screens, busyness, comfort) dull our alertness. Thoughts on why this is the first command from Paul How can we stay spiritually awake when the world wants to lull you to sleep? “Stand Firm in the Faith” How do we stay anchored in truth and not be tossed around by opinion? “Stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel.” — Philippians 1:27 (ESV)” Standing firm means knowing what you believe and why.  Is it arrogance or conviction? Is it rooted in grace? The faith here is the faith. The truth revealed in scripture.  What truths have we compromised because standing firm felt uncomfortable? “Act like Men” Paul's command “act like men” means be courageous, mature, and responsible.What does that look like? “Be strong, and show yourself a man.” — 1 Kings 2:2 (ESV)” Real men don't run from responsibility, they bear it.  The call to manhood is a call to maturity.  Why does biblical masculinity get labeled as “agggression?” Why can't it be moral and spiritual bravery? What responsibilities has God placed in your life that require courage today? “Be Strong”    Godly strength is dependence on grace, not self. “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.” — Ephesians 6:10 (ESV)” Paul isn't saying “man up” or “try harder.” He's saying “rely on God's power.”  Why do we miss this? Strength that isn't spirit-filled becomes pride. Weakness is the doorway to divine strength.  This is counter-cultural “ Let All That You Do Be Done in Love” Love is what keeps strength from becoming hardness “And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” — Colossians 3:14 (ESV)” Love balances authority with gentleness. Real leadership is servant leadership. What does this look like? Love is not weakness, it's the might of Christ expressed in humility How can your leadership reflect both strength and tenderness?

In this video, Christian Barrett explores the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament — The Shepherd of Hermas, The Apostles' Creed, and The Didache. Each of these ancient texts reveals what the early church believed about repentance, baptism, discipleship, and the nature of faith. Learn how early Christians practiced believer's baptism, confessed their faith through creeds, and sought holiness in a pagan world. Perfect for anyone studying early church history, patristics, Christian doctrine, or Protestant theology. Lastly, Christian highlights why Protestants should rediscover the wisdom and devotion of the early churchDiscussion Questions:1. How could the early church's writings help believers remain unified as the gospel spread across the Roman Empire?2. Tertullian said that the “Rule of Faith” came directly from the Apostles. What does this say about the continuity of the Christian faith?3. What stood out to you about the early Christian practices of baptism, fasting, or communion?4. What does the “Two Ways” (the way of life and the way of death) teach us about discipleship today?5. What do these three writings together teach us about what the early church valued most?

Life's a Desert Mosaic of Redemption Essential Church July 27, 205 SUMMARY  The message revolves around themes of faith, life's challenges, and spiritual growth. It draws on biblical stories and metaphors to illustrate the journey of life and the importance of faith in overcoming difficulties. 1. **Biblical References and Metaphors**: The message frequently references biblical stories, such as Moses striking the rock to bring forth water, symbolizing God's provision in times of need. It also discusses the metaphor of life as a desert, where God is the rock providing shelter and sustenance. 2. **Life's Challenges**: The narrative explores the idea that life is inherently challenging, comparing it to a desert where nothing grows easily. It emphasizes that even those who seem to have everything, like Tom Brady, can feel unfulfilled. 3. **Spiritual Growth and Faith**: The message encourages turning to faith during difficult times, suggesting that these moments can either distance one from God or bring one closer. It highlights the importance of seeking God in the wilderness of life's challenges. 4. **Community and Baptism**: There is a call to community and spiritual renewal through baptism, inviting people to participate in this act as a symbol of faith and new beginnings. 5. **Reflection and Acceptance**: The message concludes with a reflection on the grace and joy found in a relationship with God, urging listeners to accept life's metaphorical desert and recognize God as the source of life and sweetness. Overall, the message uses a blend of personal anecdotes, biblical stories, and metaphors to convey messages of resilience, faith, and the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment amidst life's inevitable challenges. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. **Biblical Metaphors**: - How do the biblical stories and metaphors used in the message help in understanding the challenges of life? - In what ways does the metaphor of life as a desert resonate with your personal experiences? 2. **Life's Challenges**: - The message mentions that even successful individuals like Tom Brady can feel unfulfilled. What does this suggest about the nature of fulfillment and success? - How do you personally cope with life's challenges, and do you find any parallels with the strategies discussed in the message? 3. **Spiritual Growth and Faith**: - How does the message suggest that difficult times can either distance us from or bring us closer to faith? - Can you share an experience where a challenging situation led to spiritual growth or a deeper faith? 4. **Community and Baptism**: - What role does community play in spiritual renewal, according to the message? - How do you perceive the significance of baptism as a symbol of faith and new beginnings? 5. **Reflection and Acceptance**: - How does the message encourage reflection on grace and joy in a relationship with God? - In what ways can accepting life's metaphorical desert lead to a more fulfilling spiritual journey?

This week, we're diving DEEP into some real talk that Blackwomen (and honestly, everybody) need to hear: ✅ The Power of “No” — Inspired byMichelle Obama, we're reclaiming our peace by setting boundaries without guilt.✅ Faith Without Cancellation —Disagreements in the church? They should lead to real dialogue, not division.✅ Purpose Reimagined — Yourpurpose isn't about meeting society's standards; it's about personal growth andauthentic living.✅ Trusting God, Even When YouQuestion Him — Faith and questions can coexist. Trust the journey.✅ Media & Faith — How what wewatch and listen to shapes our views of God, community, and even ourselves.✅ Identity Check — We are morethan our church roles. We are multifaceted, complex, and fully known by God. We're also breaking down lessons from the film 'Sinners' —navigating community dynamics, holding everyone accountable (without idolizingthem), and staying grounded in who you are. 

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Friday Claymore! There's an awakening happening among young men today - a rediscovery of the sacred against seemingly impossible odds. Having grown up in perhaps the most toxic, propaganda-filled culture in history, many are now rejecting moral relativism and asking the fundamental questions that have driven men throughout all ages: What is the truth of things? How should I live?Here are 4-5 discussion questions based on the episode:1. Rediscovering the Sacred – Young men today are rediscovering the Sacred despite a culture that opposes it. What do you think is driving this spiritual revival among young men?2.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 720 Could ignoring your emotions be the hidden barrier keeping you stuck and disconnected from your true potential? Rick William, Emotional Intelligence Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 720, to unpack why most of us were never taught how to process our feelings and how this unconscious avoidance can fuel anger and shape our relationships, and how intentionally facing your vulnerabilities, setting up internal boundaries, and curating simple daily practices can open the door to your most authentic self. "If we don't have the capacity to feel a sense of love and connection to ourselves and to one another, that's the neurochemistry of suffering. And that neurochemistry of suffering is what leads us to reach and grab for whatever it might be to. Whether it's too much food or too much sex." - Rick William

Our guests discuss ways they’ve learned to step out of their routines, build community, and be a light for Christ. Leave Us a Voicemail Culture: First Christmas, Then Herod If you were part of our Advent text experience, you heard regularly from John Greco.

Stephanie here! I have often found that, when I'm discouraged, or when I struggle to see things from the perspective that God might have on a situation, a relationship, maybe my own heart, I find it so useful to dig into Scripture and look at the stories of people in Scripture who may have experienced something similar. I also find that, beyond Scripture, it is useful to look at the lives of faithful men and women in history, saints who have really clung to God, and who have experienced so much of his goodness, his holiness, his beauty, his faithfulness, his kindness, his generosity. I love to spend time through biographies of these people of faith. I'm looking forward to meeting them in heaven and learning from them even more. Which means,  I love when a new book comes out that invites me to do just that. And the book Portrait of God by Jack Mooring does just that. I'm welcoming Jack today. And he experienced the same thing that I'm describing to you. His book is a bit of a guidebook. It uses the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis, Saint Augustine, Fanny Crosby, and so many more, to help us, believers, find stability in our faith amidst the chaos of this world. He and I chat about the fact that this world is pretty chaotic right now. This book and this conversation hope to be one of the tools that equips us in this ever-changing turbulent world we live in. Now, to recognize God's goodness in the midst of chaos, well, I know it can be challenging. Our faith can so often seem like a roller coaster as a result of that. Jack says, “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering. I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us, forgetful people, that this is God whom we love and he really is who he says he is.” MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “PORTRAIT OF GOD In an ever-changing, often turbulent world, recognizing God's goodness can be challenging. Many Christians describe their faith as a rollercoaster, with seasons of feeling close to God and having a clear sense of His presence, and others where He seems distant. Author Jack Mooring experienced this personally, and by reflecting on and learning from the lives of the faithful men and women in history, he uncovered powerful reminders of God's unchanging truths. Mooring's new book, Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People (David C Cook, August 6, 2024) serves as a guidebook, using the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine to help modern-day believers find stability in their faith amidst the chaos of the world. In Portrait of God, Mooring provides thought-provoking questions and a list of further readings about each faith leader, allowing readers to dig even deeper into the truths about the unchanging character of God. “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering,” writes Mooring. “I grew up in a rich tradition of truth, but life's lies have often buried those true ideas about God. So I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us forgetful people that this God we love is really who He says He is. This book is an attempt to rediscover our wonder about who He is. For each attribute of God, I chose a person in church history who actually experienced that part of God's nature. The goal is that, as we hear the stories of these people, we can get a glimpse of God through their eyes.” Each chapter explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature, applying it as a brushstroke to our portrait. Readers will uncover: ●           Faith: How an all-powerful God worked miracles in the life of Kathryn Kuhlman. ●           Holiness: What Augustine of Hippo's life in a secular world teaches us about God. ●           Compassion: How William and Catherine Booth's service to others radiated God's love. MORE ABOUT JACK MOORING Jack Mooring is a pastor, speaker, songwriter, and author. Beginning in ministry from an early age with his family, he and his brother went on to start the band LEELAND. Signing to Provident Music Group (A division of SONY BMG), the band released seven records, four of which received Grammy Nominations for “Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.” After touring full time and ministering around the world from 2005-2014, Jack left the band in order to pastor full time. For several years he served on the pastoral staff of two different churches before planting Celebration of Life Church: Nashville. Jack continues to make music as a songwriter signed with Integrity Music. As both a pastor and creative, Jack is passionate about communicating the gospel in a post-Christian culture.

- JOHN STREGE: "The Intersection of Sports and Faith - How it Can Shape the Culture for the Kingdom!"

Welcome to another episode of "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." Today, we're diving deep into understanding how the Holy Spirit communicates God's will and guidance for our futures. Anchored in John 16:13, we explore the profound truth that the Spirit of truth not only dwells within us but also imparts wisdom about what lies ahead.Our springboard for today's discussion is: "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will tell you about the future." - JOHN 16:13The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in our spiritual journey, not as a fortune teller but as a divine guide who provides insights into God's plans for us. This guidance isn't about revealing every detail of our futures but about empowering us to make decisions aligned with God's will. The Spirit's revelations are given not to satisfy curiosity but to strengthen our faith and direct our paths in alignment with God's overarching purposes.Steps That You Can Take:* Cultivate a Listening Habit:* How to do it: Set aside a specific time each day for prayer and meditation, focusing on listening rather than speaking. Use a journal to record any insights or directions you feel the Spirit is imparting.* Why it matters: Regularly tuning in to the Spirit's voice helps us become more attuned to His subtle whispers, making it easier to distinguish His guidance from our thoughts.* Test and Confirm the Guidance:* How to do it: Measure what you believe the Spirit is telling you against Scripture and the counsel of spiritually mature mentors. Ensure that any direction received aligns with biblical truths and the character of God.* Why it matters: This step prevents deception and self-deception, grounding our understanding of the Spirit's messages in the solid foundation of God's Word.* Act in Faith:* How to do it: Take small, practical steps towards implementing the guidance you've received. Start with actions that have minimal risk to build confidence in your ability to hear from God.* Why it matters: Faith without action is dead (James 2:17). Acting on the Spirit's guidance confirms our trust in God and often leads to greater revelations as we prove faithful in little things.Conclusion: The Holy Spirit is not a distant, mysterious force; He is an active and present guide in our lives, eager to lead us into all truth, including truths about our future. By learning to listen to and act on the Spirit's guidance, we step into a dynamic, faith-filled life that continually aligns more closely with God's will.Call to Action: This week, challenge yourself to follow these three steps. Begin each day by asking the Holy Spirit to guide you, and end it by reflecting on any new insights or confirmations you received. Let's grow in our confidence that God speaks to us through His Spirit.Question of the Day: What is one area of your life where you need clarity about the future, and how can you actively seek the Holy Spirit's guidance in that area?Let's Pray: Father God, thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to be sensitive to His whispers and courageous in following His guidance. Teach us to discern His voice clearly and to trust in Your perfect plans for our lives. As we seek Your will, may we be filled with the peace and assurance that only comes from You. Amen.Thank you for joining us today on "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." Remember, the Spirit is speaking—are you listening? Keep seeking His voice, and may your steps be firmly planted in the path He has for you.

How often do we cling to the familiar simply because it makes sense to us and is logical?”  In this episode of the She Impacts Culture podcast, we explore how to move beyond comfort and predictability to embrace the change God's calling brings. Today's episode is all about Beyond Logic & Embracing Change.Today, Jen is specifically chatting through:Logical Thinking vs. Faith: How does logical thinking sometimes hinder us from stepping into uncertain opportunities that God calls us to?Clinging to Comforts: Identifying the good things in life (job, home, etc.) that can become comfortable crutches, preventing us from accepting God's calling into a new season of life.Faith Over Familiarity: How can faith give us confidence to move forward even when we don't have a clear view of the destination?Friends, God's calling often leads us beyond what's comfortable and familiar. Embracing faith over logical thinking allows us to step into the opportunities He has prepared for us, even when they challenge our sense of predictability. If you're feeling the tension between clinging to comforts and following God's calling, I encourage you to listen to this episode, reflect on your relationship with change, and boldly trust that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Reflection QuestionsWhat good thing are you holding onto that might prevent you from experiencing God's greater blessings?Is there a familiar comfort or success that you find hard to let go of, even though God may be calling you to something new?Is logical thinking keeping you from stepping into what God is calling you to, simply because it doesn't make sense to you?Can you give up what's predictable, sensible, logical, and good for what God is calling you to?Nathan Metz: The Other Side of the Lake Sermon: https://youtu.be/a-VYHm5HaA8?si=1nPzKXD3fkKxt1Qg Connect with Jen:Website: https://drjenbennett.com/ #BeWorthFollowing Book: http://amzn.to/2H4gn9m Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjenbennett/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjenbennett/Dr. Jen Bennett is a passionate educator with over two decades of experience.

There's actually a one-for-one energetic vibrational frequency connection to how we feel within ourselves, the things that we're choosing, and the effect that the things we choose, have on our body or consciousness." - Ronnie Landis The Addiction Symptoms "We live in a culture that values stimulation, overwhelm, and stress. These are things that are symptoms of a deep problem that we are starting to acknowledge but nobody really knows what to do about it because we're also addicted to the compounds, the substances, and the patterns that produce the symptoms themselves." - Ronnie Landis Addiction Probability "The probability of something becoming addictive is how much dopamine it produces and how easily accessible it is to you in any given moment." - Ronnie Landis Dopamine + Anticipation of The Experience "Dopamine is produced as an anticipation for a future event. You get dopamine from the anticipation of a particular experience that's posed in the future. But once you have the experience, that dopamine baseline goes down. You get a little bit of a hit upon the moment of arrival but then the more you do it, the less of the pleasure you get, and then you need to do more of it to keep the dopamine baseline steady." - Ronnie Landis Links From Today's Show  Ronnie Landis W+W 349 Ronnie Landis | Rethinking Veganism: The 10 Year Journey Back Home W+W 122 The Truth About Nutrients – Ronnie Landis The Addiction Free Lifestyle by Ronnie Landis Gabor Maté A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Richard Rudd 462 Ben Greenfield: Should You STOP Using Plant Medicines?

Every single cell needs NAD+. It's what you're doing to transfer energy into a cell from the mitochondria and get each cell to work properly.

Bacopa monnieri SaunaSpace - 10% off using code "JOSH10" Paul Chek: All Is God Power Quotes From The Show NAD+ as Brain Fuel "To give the brain proper energy levels that it needs to focus, concentrate, do all of the things it does within a day, let us breathe, we don't even know about half of it. It's happening without us doing anything. But it's taking up energy. You need to power the brain. NAD+ is probably the most critical element in powering the brain. If you look at it from that standpoint of "what do you need to have a productive day?" To have a day where you don't lack energy and mental clarity? All these things that so many people are facing right now. That's NAD+." - Caspar Szulc Your Diet + Lifestyle Should Matter to Doctors "Doctors don't believe nutrition as anything. That is not a factor at all. We've got drugs, we've got surgery, you're good. You don't need to talk to the patient even about their diet or their lifestyle. If you changed the educational system where doctors came out and started more on this functional basis of "tell me about you and what you're doing on a daily basis, I'll show you the results of the labs and we're going to meet in the middle somewhere." We're going to plan something where we start with lifestyle changes. We don't start with heavy drugs and cutting you open. Those are the last resorts. And if you look at medicine, that's their first resort. That's disease care medicine, that's not health care." - Caspar Szulc Biohacking vs Modern Medicine "I truly believe biohacking is just the difference between where medicine should be and just the starting point. What I mean by that is you usually biohack when you're healthy and get super healthy from it. Whereas in medicine you usually start at a sick point and you get to a healthier point." - Caspar Szulc Improving 1% Every Day Is Enough "If you made just 1% improvement every day for a year, at the end of the year, you'd be 37 times better as a whole because of that 1%. Don't think that you have to change so much in one day. Don't think if you can't sleep, you're eating poorly, you have these symptoms, and you're fatigued, that you need to change that within a month. The reality of the story is you've probably been leading up to that for years and years. So it's going to take some time to unravel. And that's ok." - Caspar Szulc Our Health + The Health of The World "We are the microbiome of the world. If we are unhealthy, the world is unhealthy. If we are unhealthy, we don't care that we use plastic everywhere and that we corrupt everything with chemicals. I don't want to put chemicals in my body. I won't give my money to people that produce chemicals. That's then going to the environment and kill it. We're part of the environment. We detach ourselves from nature. We're one and the same. You want to be an eco-warrior?

When you have more intellectual bandwidth and mental capacity, it reflects in every area of your body. Instead of having this radical hormone flood, fight or flight, during a perceived negative event, you can look at the event without all of that emotional overhead. Because instead of your head thinking: “Oh crap, this event's happening, it's going to wipe me out, and I'm not going to be effective…”, you can look at it, almost laugh about it: “Ok, bring it… Let's do this thing. - Mark Effinger Are You Stressed Out Lately?

He is successful in industries from marketing to lasers to software. Companies turn to him for his clear grasp of the startup-to-sellout process. The death of Mark's former wife from a painkiller overdose put him on the path to creating high-performance nutritional supplements. After 4 years of development, he released a product called “Limitless NZT-48,” as in the movie Limitless, with 3,500% growth over the first year (now 5,100% over 29 months). Mark considers the biggest challenge with nootropics to be that everyone's brain chemistry is unique. For the first time ever, Nootopia has solved this with a personalized process and product. They use your information to evaluate your goals and brain chemistry, then customize their nine core blends. Whether you want to say goodbye to afternoon energy crashes, increase your verbal fluency, boost your emotional intelligence, or reach other optimization goals, Nootopia gets you 100% personal help every single day. The system even comes with an app that guides you every step of the journey and allows you to give feedback to customize your blends even further. Mark's vision is for the resources from the company to move the needle in terms of making a difference while they make healthy profits. He firmly believes that Nootopia can add value both locally and globally.  

Functional cranial release drops the default mode network, just like psychedelics do. You experience this balloon inflation. There's this very calm sensation people will experience. And so there's kind of a window for people to have emotions that will come up, being able to be objective or empathetic towards those emotions. So there's a lot of utility for not just treating the brain and neurological conditions, but also with mental, emotional, spiritual applications. - Dr. John Lieurance Are You Stressed Out Lately?

"Limbic isolations are really really important because they either synchronize or asynchronize a whole wealth of pathways on the brainstems that keep us healthy and vital. And when we don't have that, it shuts it all down, so a lot of people might find they have a lot of anxiety, and there can be a lot of neurological confusion that happens with the brain." - Dr. John Lieurance   Releasing Hidden Fears "We carry a lot of fears that are based on thoughts that we believe are true like 'I'm not good enough' or 'I'm not loved.' What might be covering that up are thoughts like, 'My father doesn't respect me' or 'I'm going to be late for this appointment and they'll be made.' Those thoughts are covering up all of these hidden fears that we all carry and when you start to get into psychedelics or breathwork or even this endonasal treatment that I do, they take us back to a calm state and help us let go of those fears as they de-regulate our default mode network."- Dr. John Lieurance   Holding The Breath = Holding The Trauma "When we hold our breath, that's the veil. You have trauma, you hold your breath, it's going to push it into the subconscious. It's going to be there and it's going to control you in a way that's probably not going to be positive and create suffering." - Dr. John Lieurance   Links From Today's Show  Ultimate Cellular Reset RUNGA 436  Dr. John Lieurance | Melatonin Miracle: Supra-Physiologic Dosing, Sinus Health & Ending Inflammation 449 Hearts Wide Open | Identifying & Healing Core Wounds To Live Your Vision: Luke Storey, Cal Callahan, Dr. John Lieurance & Josh Trent Quadcast 468 Joseph Anew | Becoming an Intuitive Warrior: Developing Courage to Face Obstacles + Why Vibrant Health Starts in the Heart (RUNGA) It's All in Your Head: Endonasal Cranial Therapy by Dr. John Lieurance Melatonin: Miracle Molecule by Dr. John Lieurance Weston A.

And I'm aware of them. That's why they are blind spots... It's recognizing that actually, you might not even know what you don't know right now. But if you have faith in community, if you have faith that by putting yourselves around other people that have honorable intentions, like we say be a family man with a business, not a businessman with a family, that is a filter for what type of person we're looking to surround ourselves with." - Jon Vroman   The Strongest Foundation for Growth "I reframed what rock bottom is in my world, and rock bottom is also a foundation. Rock bottom is the strongest foundation for growth." - Jon Vroman   Playing With The Feminine And Masculine Energies "The realization for me lately has been range. It has been expanding my range of possibilities, truly tapping into this. Openness, the feminine energy, this receiving energy… just letting the world give to you, fully receiving, curiosity… I also thrive in the masculine, what I would call this driving energy where I want to be in my car going somewhere, focused, with a direction, achieving… And how fast can I move back and forth between those energies? How can I accept those energies and play with them?" - Jon Vroman   Links From Today's Show  Front Row Dads The Front Row Factor by Jon Vroman Front Row Foundation 021 Master Your Mindset: Life In The Front Row With Jon Vroman Dumbing down Dad: How media present husbands, fathers as useless Kelly Flanagan Tony Robbins Paul Chek | All is God Cutko Knives 194 Rob Dial: Peace, Purpose, & Psychedelics John Rullan Tatyana Vroman 369 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Front Row Retreat David Packard - HP The Tetris Effect: The Game that Hypnotized the World by Dan Ackerman Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath Matt Sharp - KidStrong 435 Dr. John Gray | Wellness In Relationships: Testosterone, Estrogen, Semen Retention & Sexual Polarity Rewire Retreat 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage 438 Justin Donald | Why Wellness Is A Pentagon: The Art of Financial Intelligence & Lifestyle Investing 009 How To Live An Extraordinary Life With Hal Elrod Loveable, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell by Kelly Flanagan Power vs. Force by David R.

In 2005, he co-founded Front Row Foundation to help create front row moments for people facing life-threatening illnesses. To date, the charity has raised over $1,000,000 and has been instrumental in over 60 life-changing experiences. The same year Jon started Front Row Global, where he travels across the country to speak with college students and corporate teams about how they can move from the back row of life to the front row. The mission is to capture the key ideas individuals need for their personal growth and change through the idea of being a participant, not a spectator. This encourages individuals to step out of their comfort zone and live life to the fullest. In 2017, Jon published The Front Row Factor: Everything You Can Learn About Life From Those Fighting For It, a story about the magic that happens when good business is fully integrated with good work.
