What if the path to peace isn't avoiding hardship, but embracing it? In this episode, we explore what it means to “love the mat”—to welcome the falls, failures, and discomforts that come with a life of faith and growth. Drawing from scripture and insights from psychologist Reid Wilson, we see that real strength is formed not in comfort, but in repeated encounters with challenge. Jesus never promised we wouldn't hit the mat—He promised we wouldn't be alone. When we stop fearing failure and start trusting His presence in the middle of it, we begin to live with an untroubled heart.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

We're back! Welcome to a special continuation of the Untroubled Heart teaching series that we are calling, Untroubled Heart P.S. Join us for one more week (May 26–30) of learning to live with God's peace in a troubled world. We thought the series was over until we realized that there are still more questions that need space. One of the biggest? “If I really believed God was in control, I wouldn't be so anxious… right?” But maybe that's not quite the right approach?Take the Untroubled Heart PEACE SURVEY Part 2: https://bit.ly/UntroubledHeartAfterJoin the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Force of Nature represents a revolutionary shift in how we approach cleaning – both for professionals and everyday consumers. This groundbreaking product transforms simple household ingredients – water, salt, and vinegar – into hypochlorous acid, a powerful antimicrobial agent that kills 99% of germs while remaining gentle enough for virtually any surface.For professional cleaners constantly navigating specialty surfaces like marble, granite, teak, and bamboo, Force of Nature offers a compelling solution to the ever-present challenge of finding safe, effective products. The versatility is remarkable – from kitchen counters to bathroom fixtures, children's toys to pet areas, and even toothbrushes. The absence of chemical fragrances makes it particularly valuable for clients with sensitivities, while its effectiveness against pathogens satisfies even the most hygiene-conscious customers.Beyond practical cleaning applications, Force of Nature represents a meaningful business opportunity. The company offers specialized business packages for professional cleaning services, providing a competitive advantage in marketing eco-friendly, "green" cleaning solutions. In an industry where chemical exposure can lead to sensitivities over time, this gentler alternative helps protect the health of cleaning professionals without sacrificing cleaning power.The initial investment includes a starter kit with the electrolysis device, though the ongoing costs involve just the simple capsules containing the basic ingredients. For cleaning businesses looking to differentiate themselves and expand their client base to include the increasingly eco-conscious consumer, Force of Nature offers both practical cleaning advantages and compelling marketing opportunities. Try it yourself to experience how traditional cleaning chemicals might become a thing of the past.https://www.forceofnatureclean.com/ref/shannonmiller/?campaign=podcastAmber Elise Interview link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2155653/episodes/13428722-episode-16-meet-cleaning-content-creator-amber-elise.mp3?download=trueSend us a text Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

Ron Papke's journey from addiction and homelessness to building a thriving cleaning restoration business is nothing short of inspiring. With just $2,500 and a few lawn mowers, he laid the foundation for what would grow into a million-dollar company specializing in water restoration, mold remediation, air duct cleaning, and more.What makes Ron's success stand out is his mastery of organic marketing—achieving massive growth without relying on hefty advertising budgets. His company's leap from $500,000 to its first million in revenue came largely from a simple yet powerful strategy: customer yard signs. By placing signs at every job site and leaving them up until a client objected (which almost never happened), he created an unstoppable local presence. The proof? His business boasts over 700 Google reviews, while his nearest competitor has just 40.Beyond marketing, Ron's business approach is full of game-changing strategies. His innovative “scheduling close” technique shifts the focus from price to value by first asking if customers qualify for special discounts (like first responders, teachers, and veterans) before offering time-sensitive pricing incentives. He also requires a $50 deposit on every job, which not only reduces last-minute cancellations but reinforces his company's professionalism.Ron is a firm believer that strong communication skills are key to success—so much so that he recommends every business owner join Toastmasters. Not only does it refine public speaking, but it also serves as a powerful networking tool with management-level professionals. He also leans heavily into video marketing, stating, “People trust videos on a whole other level.” His email campaigns are equally strategic, with segmented messaging that tracks engagement to fine-tune follow-ups.Perhaps one of Ron's most impactful business practices is how he nurtures relationships with referral sources. Whether it's insurance agents or property managers, he keeps his business top of mind through thoughtful, memorable gestures—homemade jerky, bottles of liquor that double as constant reminders of his brand, and seasonal gifts that create natural touchpoints throughout the year.Want to revolutionize your cleaning business?

Every cleaning business owner eventually faces the dreaded moment when they must decide whether to keep struggling with a difficult employee or let them go. This raw, candid conversation dives deep into the realities of employee termination, offering practical wisdom for those agonizing over toxic workplace situations. We have all worked in a toxic environment at one point in our working careers.We also share the precise warning signs that indicate it's time to part ways with staff members – from the employee who consistently gives "underpaid vibes" complaints to those who damage client relationships through poor communication. The unmistakable red flag? There is also a reference to Dan Kennedy, ad copy guru, he has a famous saying for when it's time to part ways with a client's that mis behave. "When you find yourself waking up three mornings in a row thinking about an employee problem. As the saying goes, if they're consuming that much mental space and you're not sleeping together, it's time for them to go."The cornerstone of successful termination is proper documentation. We walk through exactly what this means: starting with verbal warnings (which you must document in your calendar), followed by written documentation, and finally termination if behaviors don't improve. Without this crucial paper trail, you're vulnerable to unemployment claims that can significantly increase your tax burden. Beyond the legal considerations, we explore the human elements of termination – conducting the conversation in a public place rather than your home office, ensuring you have a witness present, providing final payment properly documented as "last and final pay," and maintaining the employee's dignity throughout the process. Your approach during these difficult moments not only protects your business legally but preserves your reputation in the community.Listen for crucial distinctions between handling W-2 employees versus 1099 contractors, state-specific employment laws you must know, and strategies for preventing problem employees from contaminating your entire team culture. Managing staff effectively isn't just about finding great cleaners – it's about creating systems that protect your business when relationships don't work out.This is not the book that mentions the Dan S Kennedy quote, but it is an interesting topic: https://amzn.to/4ld7Owg or here: https://amzn.to/4iKZp1cSend us a text It can be crowed when trying to figure out who you are going to learn from Erica Paynter is the brains behind My Virtual Bookkeeper, a bookkeeping firm for cleaning companies, and the creator of Clean Co.

In this message, John speaks to those facing anxiety and heartbreak, urging them to “not let your heart be troubled,” because love—true, sacrificial love—is the only way to live with peace in a troubled world. Rooted in Jesus' command to “love one another as I have loved you,” John draws on Scripture, personal stories, and cultural references—from Inside Out and Saving Private Ryan to ancient Roman values—to show that the most transformative kind of love is the one that suffers willingly for others. Unlike Greco-Roman ideals that reserved sacrifice for the worthy, Jesus offers a love that dies for the unworthy, changing the meaning of suffering and friendship forever. Whether through a friend's call, a stranger's kindness, or Christ's death on the cross, we are invited to live in love and be shaped by it.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Today's reflection from John centers on the theme of joy—not as fleeting pleasure or a product of desire, but as the deep, lasting joy that Jesus offers. Speaking on the eve of his crucifixion, Jesus emphasizes joy more than ever, urging his followers to remain in his love, trust God, and obey his command to love one another. Real joy, John explains, is often found not by pursuing it directly but by living in love, in connection, and in the presence of God. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and personal stories, he reminds us that joy is a gift already at our door—not something to merely talk about, but something to live.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

In this message from John 15:9–10, we're invited to remain in God's love even when trouble hits. Drawing on James 1 and personal stories, the talk explores how challenges—like criticism, stress, or a flooded bathroom—can either cause us to resist and ruminate or become moments of spiritual growth if we welcome them as friends. Instead of stuffing emotions or avoiding discomfort, we're encouraged to abide with Jesus in the present moment, trusting that trials are a way to build endurance and deepen our character. The simple practice? When trouble hits, pause and say, “Welcome, friend.”Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

John Ortberg invites us into a gentle, grounded reflection on Jesus' words from John 15:4–8 — “Abide in me.” It's not about trying harder or achieving more, but about learning to rest our minds and hearts in God's presence. John encourages us to let go of tension, notice where our thoughts dwell, and choose to place them in the love, peace, and life of Jesus. Fruitfulness, he says, begins on the inside — love, joy, peace, patience — and flows out from abiding, not from effort. With a quiet and humble image of the marsh hen building its nest on “the greatness of God,” John helps us see that we too can root ourselves in something steady and true, even in a messy or uncertain world. Today can be a quiet adventure in abiding.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

The word for today is: Pruning. In today's episode, John Ortberg invites us into a deep and honest reflection on what it means to live with an untroubled heart—even in a troubled world. Joined by Susie Lipps, he explores Jesus' words from John 15: “I am the true vine… and my Father is the gardener.” Together, they unpack the spiritual practice and painful beauty of pruning—how God lovingly cuts away what is unnecessary so we can bear real, lasting fruit. With wisdom from C.S. Lewis, Dale Bruner, and ancient voices like Irenaeus, this teaching reframes hardship, loss, and frustration as invitations to deeper growth. Whether it's traffic delays or soul-level disappointment, this episode will help you see where God may be shaping you through it all.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

The MLP season is officially underway and we've got a lot to cover after an exciting opening weekend. Orlando Squeeze owner Ryan DeVos provides a behind-the-scenes look at the new standard for MLP events. Christian Alshon was the center of attention again as new serve rules were challenged throughout the weekend. Alshon weighs in on the switch from rally to traditional scoring and hopes that we don't see any more orange courts in the near future. Will Howells was on court with Anna Leigh Waters and Hayden Patriquin when chaos erupted. He provides his firsthand account of the events and shares why the unique coed format of MLP creates a dynamic not typically seen in sports. Finally, Ben Padula from Real Clear Stats breaks down the data and has a recommendation that might just appease MLP players and spectators. Performance, comfort, and style in one effortless collection.

In this honest and deeply thoughtful conversation, Susie Lipps and John Ortberg sit down to explore the real weight and meaning of Good Friday. They unpack the political pressure, religious tension, and personal cost surrounding Jesus' final hours — not just as a historical moment, but as a mirror to our own lives. With compassion and clarity, they challenge us to sit in the discomfort of the cross, to wrestle with why Jesus was really killed, and to see how this ancient story still confronts power, pride, and injustice today. If you've ever wondered what makes Good Friday truly “good,” this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

In today's teaching, we reflect on Jesus' words, “Do not let your heart be troubled,” spoken even as he faced the ultimate darkness of the cross. Jesus warns of "the prince of this world" (the devil), emphasizing that evil, while real and deeply damaging, holds no power over him. Drawing from C.S. Lewis and psychiatrist Scott Peck, the talk explores how evil often hides behind lies and self-deception, yet remains parasitic on the good that God created. Even in the face of heartbreaking darkness and cruelty, Jesus' love for the Father and his obedience shine through, showing that God's goodness ultimately triumphs. No matter how deep the brokenness, we're invited to trust God and live with untroubled hearts.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

In a world full of troubles, Jesus offers not just any peace, but his peace—a soul-deep, unshakable assurance that transcends circumstances. Peace isn't found in perfect conditions but in trusting God's presence and sovereignty. Stories of courage, studies on happiness, and reflections on suffering all point to the same truth: we don't need a peaceful life to have a peace-filled heart. True peace grows when we stop resisting hardship, step into it with trust, and find God waiting for us there. Today's call is simple but brave: want what you've been avoiding, and find peace inside the struggle.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Memory runs deeper than facts—it's how we stay rooted in faith, identity, and love. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit as a living reminder, guiding us back to his words. From ancient genealogies to remembering cucumbers in Egypt, scripture shows how memory shapes desire, regret, and belonging. In moments of deep spiritual connection, like Jimmy in Oliver Sacks' account, memory transcends biology—soul and spirit align, and we remember who we truly are.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Jesus offers a deep, intimate promise: if we love him and obey his teaching, he and the Father will make their home in us. That's not just poetic—it's personal. This message, paired with Paul's reflections on contentment and Neil Warren's metaphor of the control booth, paints a picture of inner peace that's both spiritual and practical. We all stand in the middle of complex inputs—emotions, memories, people, culture—and need wisdom to choose well. But in that mix, Jesus offers strength, presence, and peace that doesn't shift with circumstances.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Jesus tells us, “Don't let your heart be troubled,” and that message still hits hard today. We're invited to assess the peace in our hearts and the hopes we're holding onto—are they big enough, true enough, real enough? There's humor in a fake inheritance letter and a deep reflection on the life of Daniel Kahneman, but it all leads to this: real hope isn't found in money or even in philosophical strength—it's found in the resurrection. Jesus doesn't promise immortality of the soul like the Greeks did; he promises resurrection, real life after death, because he lives. So don't fake hope, and don't give up—just get back on the ladder, like Michelangelo, and trust that the hunger for hope exists because hope is real.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Commish previews the opening of the 2025 season, explains the updates behind expanded distribution and owner-hosted events.

Jesus invites us into an untroubled heart, not by avoiding life's chaos, but by walking with the Holy Spirit—our wise advocate. This Spirit brings peace, encouragement, and truth in a world full of deceptive brain messages. With a nod to neuroscience, we learn how the Holy Spirit helps us recognize patterns of fear and worry and instead leads us to five relational gifts: acceptance, affection, appreciation, attention, and allowing. We're reminded through the ancient Aaronic blessing that God's face shines on us, bringing deep affirmation and care. Today, lean into the truth and live with integrity, supported by your forever friend.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Jesus says, “If you love me, obey my commands,” and today's message unpacks how obedience isn't about lifeless rule-following—it's about living with a peaceful, untroubled heart. Even a dog like Baxter can show us something about trust and surrender. When we obey Jesus, not out of fear but out of love, we tap into a joy-filled life that aligns with what's truly good. Obedience is really about trust—it's trusting that Jesus is right about everything. It's not mechanical, it's relational, wholehearted, and deeply freeing. So today's challenge? Do one thing just because Jesus said so—and let that shape you into a more loving, calm, generous person.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Jesus invites us to live with untroubled hearts in a troubled world by joining his mission of love, peace, and redemption. In John 14, he urges us to ask—ask God for help, strength, and wisdom—not just for our own gain but as part of his greater work. That promise to “ask in my name” comes with both hope and mystery, especially when prayers go unanswered. But Jesus himself, and others like Paul and Joseph, show us that sometimes the answers are “no” or “not yet.” Still, we're called to pray with faith, not as consumers chasing comfort, but as people shaped by love and purpose. So today's simple but bold challenge is this: ask God. He's listening.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Jesus' journey through the Triduum—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—reminds us that in between death and resurrection is the silence of Saturday. While Friday is full of suffering and Sunday bursts with hope, Saturday is the day of waiting, uncertainty, and God's apparent absence. For Jesus' followers, it felt like failure and abandonment. Yet, even in the silence, God was at work. We all live in “Saturday” seasons—those in-between moments where despair and hope wrestle. In these times, we are invited not to deny or despair, but to wait on the Lord, trusting that our story, like Jesus', might just be a third-day story too.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Jesus' death on Good Friday wasn't just a random event or some law-driven requirement—it was the intersection of political agendas, religious tension, and deep spiritual purpose. As he prepared to die, Jesus told his followers not to be troubled, because he knew what was coming. The world around him was full of messiah-hopefuls, violent revolts, and religious leaders trying to preserve power. Unlike others, Jesus refused to fight, withdraw, or compromise. He stood silent when it would have saved him and spoke only when it sealed his fate, showing that he was in control all along. From the garden to the cross, his choice to love, not retaliate, changed everything. This Friday isn't just about what happened—it's about who really held the power, and why Jesus laid his life down.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

In today's deep and hopeful conversation, John sits down with John Burke to ask the age-old question: what really happens after we die? What unfolds is a powerful journey from skepticism to faith, sparked by near-death experiences from across the world—all pointing to light, love, and a vivid, personal encounter with Jesus. This isn't just abstract theology—it's a call to embrace heaven as a real, rich, promised future. Through stories of spiritual transformation and glimpses of resurrection life, this episode challenges us to trade our vague hopes for a bold, anchored trust in the life to come.Be sure to take the PRE-SERIES SURVEY here: https://bit.ly/UntroubledHeartBeforeJoin the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Don't let your heart be troubled.

Welcome to the very first episode of Sunday Strides – the new weekly series from the Daily Strides Podcast designed to get your mindset right before the week begins. These episodes are short (under 5 minutes), unscripted, and packed with the motivation, truth, and tough love you need to get back in the saddle—even when it's not perfect. In this episode, we're talking about the trap of waiting for the “perfect time” to ride and why that's costing you real progress with your horse. Because here's the truth: You don't need a perfect plan. You need to just get on.

Jesus invites us into peace in the middle of a stirred-up world—not by avoiding trouble, but by trusting Him. The Greek word teraso paints a picture of our hearts like murky water, and Jesus offers clarity through stillness and connection. Science even shows our hearts beat in sync with others when we're close, a reminder of the deep relational design we're made for. Jesus, who embodies vulnerability as both God and man, calls us to recognize His presence in the weak, the overlooked, and the fragile—because peace isn't found in control but in surrender. Let your troubled heart rest in His love.Be sure to take the PRE-SERIES SURVEY here: https://bit.ly/UntroubledHeartBeforeJoin the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!
