Sometimes the best theology is found on the back deck. A small bird on a simple patrol caught the attention of a friend, and in that moment the truth came to light. That mockingbird, later named “Jabez,” seemed to be extending its reach, enlarging its territory. And just like that, we're reminded of a prayer tucked quietly into 1 Chronicles 4:10, a prayer that asks God not for riches or comfort, but for blessing, for growth, for protection, and for freedom from pain. But it's not self-centered, it's a vision of hope in the face of the world's curse, a longing that our lives might be vessels of blessing for others.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Today, we're keeping the gentleness discussion going. We are invited to get out of our hurried, harsh, screen-ridden worlds and into God's world–the real world, full of life and joy. We're reflecting on this truth from Jesus in Matthew 11: “I am gentle and lowly in heart.” Gentle and lowly? What countercultural words. And this isn't the watered-down kind of gentleness; this is full-on fruit-of-the-spirit gentleness. Like John teaches, people can often misunderstand this. It's not softness, weakness, or meekness. Gentleness is steady, and it actually begins at home in overcoming our harsh inner critics.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
In our culture, revenge is pervasive. In fact, John unpacks research showing a hidden framework for understanding human revenge, rage, and violence. In practice, revenge actually operates like an addiction in our brains. The cycle begins with grievance. And every little grievance - from a driver who maybe cuts us off, to a coworker who forgets our name - can trigger imagined injustice. We indulge our outrage and a desire for revenge. But the way of Jesus - the fruit of the spirit, love - interrupts that loop. Love doesn't deny pain or injustice; it just refuses to use power to harm. It chooses to show up instead as gentleness and grace.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Today's journey of We Should Get Out More brings us to something a little different: a chat with Len Vanden Bos, chaplain of the Buffalo Bills– where John and Len visit one of the largest maximum-security prisons in the U.S. John and Nancy recently visited and what they saw was staggering. Angola holds countless stories not just of pain and injustice, but amazingly, deep transformation and freedom. Tune in for a meaningful chat about true surrender.

This week we're joined by a legend from the world of golf, Sir Nick Faldo. Faldo is a recent pickleball convert and is building a court at his Montana home. Faldo made news last year for using pickleball to roast LIV Golf's viewership numbers. We draw comparisons between golf and pickleball's different iterations of Tour Wars. Plus Erik Forsythe was the biggest story coming out of MLP New York. We hear about his experience stepping out of the crowd and onto the big stage. Finally, Zane recaps everything that happened in pickleball last week, including APP Newport Beach, PPA Malaysia, and roster moves around the league.

Today's episode of We Should Get Out More might just be an introduction to your new favorite Bible verse. It's an often-overlooked passage in Romans 16:22: “I, Tertius, who wrote down this letter, greet you in the Lord.” And while this might seem like a verse you'd look past, it's significant because it's Paul offering dignity to someone the world considered insignificant. Tertius was a scribe (maybe even a slave) whose name means “third.” In the ancient world, people were often reduced from a name down to a number. But counter culturally, Paul stops mid-letter to let Tertius speak. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Dr. Rick joins today to discuss what it really means to become a good person. Despite all his years of counseling, Rick shares that no one has ever walked into his office saying, “I want to be a good person.” However, by the end of their sessions, that desire is typically surfaced. It's the realization that we all want to become someone who is grounded. Generous. Integris.

Nicole's journey from exhausted solo cleaner to successful product creator exemplifies the power of resilience when facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. After years of physical strain from cleaning houses and working crime scenes, a pivotal moment came when she sat on a client's stairs, her body aching, and asked for divine intervention to find a new path forward.The COVID-19 pandemic, which devastated many cleaning businesses, became her unexpected catalyst for transformation. While clients paused services and her income plummeted, Nicole diversified by taking on specialized cleaning jobs and creating social media content. What began as survival tactics evolved into something far more significant when her cleaning videos unexpectedly went viral, opening a door she never anticipated.Rather than following the conventional route of white-labeling someone else's formula, Nicole created her 5-in-1 Castle Cleaner from scratch, initially mixing batches in five-gallon buckets at home. As demand grew, she scaled production to ten gallons at a time before ultimately partnering with a formulator to create a repeatable chemical formula suitable for commercial manufacturing. This development now allows her to plan production runs of thousands of gallons and expand into bulk sizes beyond her original 32-ounce bottles.The entrepreneurial wisdom Nicole shares resonates beyond the cleaning industry: "You are capable of doing everything any other human can... somebody invented everything out there. So why should I not be able to?" Her story reminds us that persistence through multiple failures often precedes breakthrough success – if the 16th attempt doesn't work, try the 17th.Ready to transform your cleaning routine with a product born from real-world cleaning expertise?

Today, John talks with Glenn Packiam about how resilience begins with recovery: the ability to return to a place of spiritual rest. Like a stress test measuring how fast your heart returns to normal, true spiritual health isn't the absence of struggle, but the speed at which we return to God after it. There is no such thing as a life without trouble, which is why Jesus promised that he would be with us to the very end of the age.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
This week on PicklePod, we break the news that fully automated line calling is coming to pro pickleball. No more arguments, no more missed calls — just cold, hard tech making the decisions. Finally! Andrea Koop joins the pod to talk about ESPN bringing SportsCenter to the Beer City Open. How did Grand Rapids land the spotlight, and what does this mean for pickleball's mainstream future? We also dig into the biggest on-court drama of the weekend: Jessie Irvin vs. Genie Bouchard. Tension during warmups led to a full-blown walk-off and some major lineup chaos. We have the inside details. Connor Pardoe stops by to explain the new UPA contract extensions, prize money structures, and what the future holds for signed and unsigned pros. Some are calling it smart business. Others aren't so sure. Plus, we get into trade rumors, breakout performances, and which teams are quietly becoming title threats heading into the back half of the MLP season.

These small moments that look like savoring a meal, noticing a sunset, holding a loved one's hand, or hearing from a friend are more than pleasant.

This week, the team tackles the most common myths about the Tri-Booth – the portable recording solution trusted by countless voice actors and audio pros. From misconceptions about its sound isolation, to confusion about setup and portability, we dig into what's real and what's just internet chatter. Andrew shares his first-hand experience using a Tri-Booth on the road, Robbo explains how it compares to permanent studio spaces, and George breaks down the physics of why it works (or doesn't) in certain environments. If you've been considering a Tri-Booth or wondering whether it's worth the investment, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make an informed choice. Highlights: What the Tri-Booth can and can't do for your sound How real users set it up successfully Why some people expect miracles from any portable booth The biggest mistakes people make when judging its performance How it compares to purpose-built spaces Episode Resources:
When your employees rarely see each other face-to-face, how do you build a strong company culture? Michelle from White Rhino Cleaning Company joins us to reveal the strategies that have helped her 56-employee commercial cleaning operation thrive for nearly three decades.Building culture in field-based businesses requires intentional design. Michelle walks us through White Rhino's approach, from their collaboratively developed core values (community, quality, excellence, equity, and integrity) to their comprehensive communication strategy. The monthly newsletter featuring employee spotlights, regular leadership gatherings, and annual appreciation events create connection points that overcome the isolation field employees often experience.What sets White Rhino apart is their commitment to professional development. Michelle explains how they've implemented DISC assessments to improve team dynamics, created specialized training for "live" versus "closed" cleaning environments, and developed protocols for handling unexpected situations. Her approach to giving feedback—using the "sandwich method" and emphasizing that corrections are "for the business, not personal"—demonstrates emotional intelligence that permeates the organization.The conversation offers practical takeaways for any service business owner, from leveraging free community resources like library meeting rooms to participating in local chambers of commerce. Michelle's insights on community involvement, including sponsoring holiday light displays and participating in local festivals, showcase how external engagement reinforces internal culture.Whether you're leading a commercial or residential cleaning operation, this episode provides a blueprint for creating a cohesive team that delivers consistent, high-quality service—even when team members rarely work in the same physical space.

Happy Fourth of July from Become New! Today marks not only a holiday, but also a shift in direction for us. As we sat with the title, You Should Get Out More, for the past few weeks, we noticed something felt off. It's a single word, but it makes all the difference. We should get out more. As we explore this topic, know that we aren't pointing the finger your way; we're learning these concepts right along with you. So together, let's get out more, and let's dive into today's topic: kindness. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
The word of the day is patience. The kind that reshapes your soul over time. A long faithfulness. As we continue You Should Get Out More, John invites us into something countercultural: living as pilgrims, not tourists. Tourists pick their destinations, stay as long as it's fun, and move on when they lose interest. Pilgrims, though? They're going somewhere. They're going to God and the path for getting there is through Jesus. Digital life trains us to expect everything instantly: food, updates, approval, progress. But the fruit of the Spirit, especially patience, grows at a much slower speed than scrolling.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Today's thought is kindness. And if that sounds a little too soft for your inbox this morning, hang tight because what we're covering today isn't shallow or merely sentimental. John is joined by Kara Powell, the Executive Director of the Fuller Youth Institute, and they're discussing the kind of radical, steady, others-focused kindness that can actually change us and change the world.Find out more about the Fuller Youth Institute at: FullerYouthInstitute.org/BecomeNewBecome New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Take a deep breath. Remember, patience is a fruit of the spirit. It's about living with an unhurried spirit. Often, people confuse patience with a lack of urgency but the truth is, patience is the ability to live with calmness and poise in the face of obstacles and delay. It's living with an unhurried spirit in a sped-up world. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

The invitation for today is to live at peace, but not the kind you might think. This isn't only silence or stillness, but rather the deep, soul-rooted type of peace that Jesus offers in a world full of noise and division. As we continue our series, You Should Get Out More, John contrasts peace and contempt, which is what pastor and author Jay Kim says are actually opposites. Contempt is a mindset that abounds in digital spaces and it erodes our ability to love and empathize. As followers of Jesus, we're called to a higher standard.

Every professional cleaner's nightmare unfolded in real-time as Jamie and Shannon recounted horror stories of damage caused by TikTok cleaning hacks gone wrong. At the heart of their discussion was a cautionary tale about a cleaner who used a pumice stone on a glass shower door after "seeing creators do it on TikTok," resulting in permanent, expensive scratches that the mortified cleaner had to confess to their client.The hosts didn't hold back on the harsh realities facing cleaning professionals who experiment with untested methods in clients' homes. "Shower doors can be fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars," Shannon emphasized, highlighting that insurance won't cover such damages when they result from negligence or improper technique. Both hosts agreed that such mistakes "scream unprofessionalism" and can permanently damage your reputation through negative word-of-mouth, even when clients appear understanding in the moment.Beyond the financial consequences, Jamie and Shannon explored the deeper issue of education in the cleaning industry. They stressed that true professionals understand the science behind cleaning—that it's fundamentally "various forms of friction with lubrication"—and know which tools are appropriate for different surfaces. They recommended resources like the American House Cleaners Association for proper certification and training, noting that "knowledge is power" that no one can take away once you've gained it.Ready to elevate your cleaning business beyond amateur mistakes? Stop experimenting in clients' homes, invest in proper training for yourself and your team, and remember that true professionals test new techniques at home first. Your reputation—and your clients' expensive fixtures—will thank you.Send us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

The lines between physical and digital reality are increasingly blurred, especially for children. Today's conversation between John and his daughter Laura, reminds us that spiritual formation and family life are happening at the same time. Often in the midst of unprecedented technological change. The challenge, then, is not to fear technology but to become wise in how we use it, especially when it comes to guiding the next generation. We need parents, mentors, and spiritual friends, who are willing to help young people stay grounded in the real world—where eye contact, touch, boredom, and community shape our souls far more deeply than curated images or trending videos.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Doesn't it seem like everything is hyperconnected, screen-centric today? In a matrixed existence how are we meant to find pockets of peace in the day? It can feel almost impossible to grasp. The peace has a hard time flourishing in an online environment that usually amplifies outrage, judgment, and anxiety. Leading voices today have noted that social media gives us the power to express contempt with increasing ease. It's not pretty out there. And too often, Christians have joined the chorus of division and often led it. But Scripture reminds us: peace is not found in being right, it is a fruit of the Spirit. It grows not from surrender. Peace is not about willpower; it's something we experience as we let go of judgment, hurry, and the illusion of control.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
Today, I interview Junie Moon, who grew up bright and bubbly, until one look from her mother made her feel unloved. Her free spirit met a controlling household where even a glance could silence her. By eight, she had learned to dim her light just to stay safe. Being cheerful and expressive got her labeled, and rejected.Bullied through middle school, silent in high school, Junie carried this fear of being seen well into adulthood. It shaped her relationships, her body, and her belief that her voice didn't matter.But something changed. A moment came when she couldn't stay quiet any longer—not for herself, and not for the person she loved most. That moment set her on the path to healing.Today, Junie helps women uncover the hidden fears that silence them and teaches them how to build trust in themselves again, so they can speak up, show up, and call in lasting love.__________________Junie Moon is the CEO of Midlife Love Out Loud, a Global Love Mentor, bestselling author, women's empowerment leader, and Certified Shadow Work® Coach.

Joy is not an accident. It's a fruit of the Spirit that grows from attention, action, and cultivation. In contrast much of our online lives are lived passively comparing ourselves to others without even thinking about it. Algorithms are designed to keep us longing for what we don't have, by showing us lives just out of reach. This is an upward envy that creates a downward disdain and erodes joy. But God life with God gives us the good work of Joy. Joy is deep, personal, and often tied to the relationships that reflect God's love and goodness.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Jay shares his personal experience, as well as his pastoral perspective, on the mental, emotional, and spiritual costs of being chronically online. The issue is not the existence of technology, but how subtly and deeply it forms us into distracted, image-obsessed and ultimately hopeless people. The point of the conversation is to remind us that our digital tools are using us often more than we are using them. Our attention is being bought and sold, and the cost is our contentment, resilience, and joy.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
In a world shaped by online personas, it's easy to mistake what looks good for what really is and emotion for identity. We have been conditioned to scroll through the highlight reels of others' lives, unaware of the building loneliness and pain that is masked by the doom scroll of online life. But the truth is that social media is not truly social, a fact we must remember because while it promises connection it usually delivers isolation. That is the work of a follower of Jesus in the digital landscape.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

What happens when a client calls about your 24-hour or 48-hour cleaning guarantee? This question surfaces regularly in cleaning business communities, and for good reason—it tests your operations, employee management, and customer service philosophy all at once.The cleaning business model thrives on trust and satisfaction guarantees, but the logistics can get complicated, especially when working with part-time staff who may not be available for immediate re-cleans. We tackle this challenge head-on, offering practical solutions for business owners caught between client expectations and employee scheduling constraints.At the heart of successful re-clean management is clear communication. Your cleaning technicians need to understand from day one that honoring your satisfaction guarantee is a non-negotiable part of the job. When customers report missed items, your response must be swift and solution-oriented—not focused on convenience or blame. The responsibility ultimately falls on you as the business owner to ensure customer satisfaction, even if that means grabbing your supplies and handling the re-clean yourself.We explore the proper way to address quality control issues with employees, emphasizing the importance of documented verbal warnings followed by written documentation if problems persist. This approach balances accountability with respect, avoiding the pitfalls of public shaming that can damage team morale and company culture.The most successful cleaning business owners recognize that client complaints aren't just problems to solve—they're opportunities to demonstrate your commitment to excellence. By personally addressing re-cleans when necessary, you transform potential negative experiences into powerful relationship-building moments that can actually strengthen client loyalty.Ready to transform how you handle re-cleans?

The word today is love. Not the polished, curated kind we post about online, but the messy, risky, vulnerable kind that can only happen in the real world. In today's video, John reminds us: the opposite of love isn't hate—it's self-centric despair. It's the temptation to retreat inward, escape discomfort, and protect ourselves from heartbreak. But real love demands we show up, with our weaknesses, awkwardness, and all.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
What if the best version of you could speak to the most distracted version of you… Except before you scroll? Today we're joined by Royce Branning, founder of ClearSpace, who's asking questions like these.

John reminds us that even the word “technology” echoes Jesus—“tecton” (craftsman) and “logos” (word). Jesus was both. He's not against our tools. But he is against anything that masters us. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.
This week, it's all about the front end — microphones for voiceover. George recently ran a live webinar comparing a wide range of mics from the Audio-Technica AT875R to the mighty Austrian Audio OC818, and we're diving deep into the results. From self-noise to low-end roll-off, polar patterns to punchy midrange, we break down what makes a great mic for VO, including:
Tackling popcorn ceilings might seem like a straightforward cleaning task, but as experienced professionals reveal in this candid discussion, it's anything but simple. These textured ceilings, popular in the 1970s as apartment sound barriers, present unique challenges that can quickly turn a standard cleaning job into an expensive nightmare.The conversation dives deep into why popcorn ceiling cleaning requires specialized techniques and careful consideration. Most importantly: keep it dry! Attempting to clean these ceilings with liquid or a damp mop will likely result in ceiling damage, as the plaster material easily absorbs moisture and begins to crumble. This creates a cascade of falling debris that can damage floors, furniture, and your business reputation. The proper approach involves gentle vacuuming with specialized attachments and extraordinary patience, making this a job that's not scalable for teams but rather an owner-operator specialty service.Pricing strategies and liability protection take center stage as the hosts emphasize the importance of charging appropriately for this labor-intensive work. Starting at a minimum of $250 and potentially reaching $1,000 or more depending on square footage, this isn't a service to undervalue. Smart business owners will have clients sign liability waivers, create detailed equipment checklists, and carefully track time spent on these specialty jobs. Understanding your insurance coverage and deductibles becomes critical, as damage resulting from improper popcorn ceiling cleaning could easily exceed standard deductible amounts of $1,500-5,000. The message is clear: if you lack experience with popcorn ceilings, either decline these jobs or practice extensively in your own home before offering this as a commercial service. Your business reputation and financial stability may depend on making the right choice.Send us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

This week on The Pro Audio Suite, we dig into the lab-tested results of our very own PASport VO, the portable audio interface designed for voice talent and podcasters. George took it to a respected LA repair shop for an independent bench test, and the results? Minus 89 dB of self-noise. Translation: it's dead quiet. The Jasmine™ preamps inside impressed the pros, even when compared to far more expensive gear. And the design? Tough, tiny, and travel-ready. But here's the kicker: unless there's enough demand, there won't be another production run. If you missed out the first time, now's your chance to change that. We want this thing back in production, and Michael at CEntrance needs to hear it from you.
