Ever watched a viral cleaning hack and wondered if it's too good to be true? Shannon and Jamie, veteran cleaning business owners, expose the dangerous reality behind one of social media's most damaging cleaning trends: using toilet bowl cleaner on surfaces other than toilets.This eye-opening conversation dives into the chemistry behind why toilet bowl cleaner works safely on porcelain but causes permanent, irreversible damage when applied to stone surfaces, metal fixtures, window frames, and even house siding. The hosts share shocking examples of homes they've encountered where homeowners unwittingly destroyed expensive fixtures and surfaces by following misleading online cleaning advice."I see it at least once a week," Shannon reveals, describing the heartbreaking moment when she has to tell clients their fixtures are permanently damaged from toilet bowl cleaner misuse. The acidic nature of these products creates black marks, etching, and discoloration that simply cannot be repaired. Jamie adds her own cautionary tale about receiving a chemical burn from just a tiny splash of the product, emphasizing the health risks these powerful acids pose when used improperly.Beyond just identifying the problem, the hosts offer practical solutions for both cleaning professionals and homeowners. They recommend safer alternatives like Bar Keepers Friend and 5-in-1 cleaners while explaining the importance of understanding chemical pH levels and appropriate surface applications. Their expert advice helps distinguish true professional cleaning practices from harmful shortcuts that might look impressive online but lead to costly damage.Whether you're a cleaning business owner, a professional cleaner, or simply someone who wants to maintain your home properly, this episode provides essential knowledge to protect your surfaces, your health, and your wallet.

Our devices promise constant connection, but too often, they leave us isolated, anxious, and spiritually numb. When we lose signal or misplace a phone, we feel unmoored, unable to navigate, communicate, or find joy. That's the invitation at the heart of today's reflection: to ask, Am I truly connected? Not to Wi-Fi, but to God, to my values, to the people I love. Technology can serve connection, but it cannot substitute for it. We were made for something deeper.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Life's greatest lessons often come from unexpected places. In today's devo, John tells a story of a little boy in a developing village who hears about tithing for the first time. After giving a single fish to his teacher, he responds to the question “Where are the other nine?” with something unforgettable: “Oh, they're still in the river. I'm going to go catch them now.” That is how faith responds. It's a childlike confidence that God's provision isn't scarce or hidden, but abundant, always flowing like a river.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

This week on the PicklePod: Zane Navratil and T-Dog (Erik Tice) break down the final MLP regular season event in Salt Lake City, where the Utah Black Diamonds shocked the league, Christian Alshon was mysteriously benched, and the Orlando Squeeze might've been playing 4D chess. Grayson Golden delivered the ultimate one-match flex, and the Lifetime Ball is officially the new PPA standard — whether you like it or not.

When was the last time you were genuinely wowed? With all the content we consume on the daily it's getting more and more difficult to find these moments of amazement. But the truth is that we were made to be astonished. Whenever we neglect that part of who we are our souls shrink a little. Psychologist Jonathan Haidt observes that screen addiction damages our capacity for transcendence. His research and others' affirm what the Bible has been talking about for millennia: the heavens are telling the glory of God. Awe is a gateway to God.

We learn through imitation. This is why we have role models and icons. Those who have gone before us and shown us what's possible. Whether we know it or not, we are followers first. The Apostle John talks about this in 3 John, where he writes, “Do not imitate what is evil but what is good.” In other words, you will imitate what you watch, so watch wisely. From spiritual mentors to social media influencers, the people and patterns we imitate form our character and ultimately how we make our way in the word.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Ever had sweat dripping into your eyes while cleaning a client's home who insists "it's not that hot"? Shannon and Jamie tackle the critical but often overlooked issue of maintaining proper air conditioning during cleaning services - not just for comfort, but as a matter of safety and professional standards.Heat stroke presents a serious health risk for cleaning professionals, making workers permanently more susceptible to recurrence after the first incident. Shannon shares her systematic approach to client communication, beginning with friendly reminders in April before gradually establishing clear expectations that thermostats should be set between 70-73 degrees during service. The hosts explore practical solutions for handling resistant clients, from early morning scheduling to implementing cancellation fees equal to the full cleaning cost for non-compliance.The conversation delves into smart strategies for protecting both cleaners and clients, including taking time-stamped photos of thermostats upon arrival and departure to prevent disputes about energy usage. Jamie and Shannon also discuss parallel issues like client expectations around tidying before cleaning and maintaining reasonable rates that reflect market value, revealing how these boundaries directly impact business profitability.What emerges is a masterclass in professional boundary-setting that benefits everyone. By approaching temperature requirements as non-negotiable safety standards rather than personal preferences, cleaning business owners can maintain team welfare while building healthier client relationships. Ready to stop paying for the privilege of cleaning someone's home? This episode provides the practical tools and confidence to implement policies that protect your team and your bottom line.Send us a text Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

Today's We Should Get Out More brings us to this phrase, straight from Dallas Willard: Bless what you dread. We were blessed by God and we are made to be a blessing. For fun and to put this into perspective, we're taking a lesson from the Hokey Pokey song and applying it to blessing others: you put your whole self in. (Sing it with us: You put your right foot in, take your right foot out…) To truly bless is to do so intentionally and with your whole heart and spirit. The very act of blessing is something we see in the Bible from the beginning of time. God creates, God gives, God adds value. He blesses the trees and the seas and the sky and the earth. The world exists to be blessed, and you were made to be a blessing.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Have you ever felt like you wanted to change… but couldn't? Sometimes, change isn't possible by the flesh alone. True change is often only available with God's help. That's what today's lesson highlights as we continue our journey through We Should Get Out More. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

The PicklePod is back with one of our most jam-packed episodes ever.

Today's episode of We Should Get Out More features an interview with Andy Crouch, one of the central thought leaders of this series, whose work we've been studying together. He's a partner for theology and culture at Praxis and the author of several books like “The Tech-Wise Family” and “The Life We're Looking For.” Today, Andy and John discuss the intersection of technology and human flourishing. Tune in for a chat about how our “glowing rectangles” (as Andy refers to smartphones) are sometimes forming us in ways we're not fully aware of. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Today, as we continue through We Should Get Out More, we're talking tech, but not just the usual doom-scroll warnings. John sits down with Pat Gelsinger, a tech mogul and lifelong follower of Jesus, to talk about how faith and technology don't have to live in separate worlds. In fact, Pat argues this moment in history is a “Gutenberg moment”: a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the Church to use technology to spread goodness, beauty, and truth. So instead of running from it, what if we stepped into it, with wisdom and courage?Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Ever wondered what happens when a cleaning professional with a quirky sense of humor finds her voice on social media? Samantha Mancuso takes us on a delightful journey from sworn teenage resistance to the cleaning profession ("I don't want to scrub anybody's toilets!") to becoming a viral cleaning influencer with over 300,000 TikTok followers.The path wasn't straightforward. After stints as a dental lab technician and school lunch lady ("the best, worst job I've ever had"), Samantha impulsively ordered business cards on her lunch break in 2015 and launched her cleaning business. Her social media presence began as a mental escape during her mother-in-law's cancer treatment, initially featuring just her hands cleaning surfaces. As she gradually became comfortable on camera, her authentic personality and practical cleaning advice resonated with viewers.What makes this conversation special is Samantha's passionate advocacy for solo cleaners. "I never want anybody to look at the solo cleaner like they're just some Betty with a bucket," she declares, challenging the perception that solo operations are merely side hustles. She shares how professional solo cleaners can earn substantial incomes while maintaining the flexibility to prioritize family commitments.Behind the scenes, Samantha balances content creation with maintaining high standards for her clients, filming in their homes with permission while respecting their privacy. She's transparent about the realities of social media monetization, acknowledging it's not consistent enough to replace her cleaning income. Her commitment extends to supporting small, family-owned businesses in the cleaning industry, using her platform to elevate others alongside herself.Ready to connect with a cleaning influencer who keeps it real?

What is self-control? Is it trying through blood, sweat, and tears to make ourselves miserable? Maybe not. Maybe, a miserable life of constant resistance isn't a God shaped life. The Apostle Paul calls self-control the final fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5), not because it's least important, but perhaps because (maybe) it takes the longest to grow. At its core, self-control is about spiritual renovation. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Reality is where life happens. It's where we learn, fail, love, and find hope. It in our nature to be out in nature. On a quiet deck in the presence of birds, dogs, and laughter. We've said it a lot in this series, but we will keep saying it, “We Need to Get Out More.” Not just for exercise or aesthetics, but for spiritual formation. Today John and Nancy have a conversation about a recent hike in Yosemite's Vernal Falls. The grandeur was recalibrating to the soul. Nature, with all its gratuitous beauty and unnecessary joy (like ducks, as Dallas Willard once noted), reminds us that God is both powerful and delightfully good.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

When Tiffany and her husband Cam moved across the country to pursue their dream of running a mountain camp, they had no idea what was waiting for them. A financial crisis, a pandemic, wildfires, floods, and windstorms. They had to deal with one disaster after another. Each event felt like a reason to give up. But looking back, those same struggles became the soil where deep spiritual resilience took root. Instead of running from discomfort, they stayed and as a result they witnessed God bring life from ashes and strength from suffering. That's the strange grace of challenge: it forms us in ways comfort never can.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

God didn't design us to live behind glass, protected, isolated, or untouched by risk. That's the danger of our screen-saturated, control-craving world: we can build an “unrisky life” that appears safe but leaves our spirits weak. John draws out a striking metaphor from Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation, where he talks about trees planted in a perfectly controlled environment that grew fast but fell before maturity because they lacked the stress and strain of wind. Without this stress, they never developed the “stress wood” that would make them strong enough to withstand life. You and I need wind too. We were made for challenge.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

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.

Pricing mistakes can cost your cleaning business thousands of dollars and countless hours of frustration. In this candid discussion, we break down a real-world example of a cleaning professional who found themselves working for less than $10 per hour after failing to properly communicate their pricing structure.The cleaning industry is booming with new entrepreneurs, but many struggle with the crucial skill of setting clear expectations from the start. We examine how vague initial quotes, lack of proper contracts, and the absence of deposit requirements can lead to painful financial lessons. When a cleaner quoted a maintenance rate of $250-300 but only vaguely mentioned the deep clean would be "higher," they set themselves up for disappointment when the client simply left $250 on the counter after 21+ hours of work.We share practical strategies for avoiding this common trap, including implementing non-negotiable deposit requirements, creating time-limited quotes, clearly differentiating between maintenance and deep cleaning rates, and utilizing proper contracts or digital agreements. As seasoned professionals, we emphasize that confidence in your service value is essential - remember that clients called you because they need your expertise.Perhaps most importantly, we stress that proper business systems need to be in place before you begin serving clients. While it may feel uncomfortable to discuss money or require deposits, especially for people-pleasers, these boundaries are what separate sustainable businesses from those that struggle. Whether you're a solo cleaner or running multiple teams, these foundational business practices will help you build a cleaning business that's both respected and profitable.The July 2025 Promo Course is this link:https://klean-freaks-university.newzenler.com/courses/best-seller-pricing-blue-print-master-classWhat pricing mistakes have you made in your cleaning business?

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 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.

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.

Today, John talks with Pastor Steve Cuss who shares his practice of “tripping over God's presence” 10 to 12 times a day through intentional micro-habits. 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. They are reminders that life is good and full of God's presence if we could notice, tune in, and appreciate what has always been there under all the noise.Get more from Steve Cuss here: https://capablelife.activehosted.com/f/29Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Social media loves to make promises. Promises about optimizations, quick fixes, the perfect skin, the perfect parenting hacks, and on and on. These promises are tempting, but the problem is that social media rarely delivers on the promises it makes. This keeps us consuming more and more looking for the next best hack. We arrange our lives around this pursuit, only to find out—sometimes painfully—they're not real. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

What if you stopped doomscrolling and started life-scrolling instead? In today's message, you'll discover a better way to navigate screens and the bad news cycle — by tasting real goodness, practicing gratitude, and sharing hope like the bees do their waggle dance. Let's get out more, root ourselves in God's presence, and bring goodness into the real world together.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

John invites us to consider how our digital lives often differ from kindness and tend toward condemnation. All one needs do is get online and look at the Subtweets and group chats that exclude others. There are endless examples of passive-aggressive stories and soft blocks. We've been trained to cancel people but Jesus did something different. He didn't cancel people, he canceled sin. Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

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.
