Jim Keena | Guest Speaker Referenced Scripture: Romans 7:14-25 & Galatians 5:17-23 Reflection Questions: 1. In which areas of your life is your “spirit willing,” but your “flesh weak”? For example, is it exercising, organizing, cutting out junk food, or filing your income taxes by April 15th? In other words, what is something you've tried really hard to change in your life but find yourself falling back into old patterns? 2. Read Romans 7:14-25 aloud. What stands out to you in Paul's description of his inner conflict? In the sermon, Jim mentioned that when he was 19 years old, he appreciated Paul's honesty and vulnerability. How do you respond to Paul's vivid portrayal of his internal struggle? 3. Verse 15 states: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” Can you relate to this? How have you experienced this tug-of-war in your spiritual journey? 4. In Romans 7:16-17, Paul describes the source of our struggle as “sin that dwells within me.” This “indwelling sin” refers to the constant presence and influence of sin in a believer's life, even after they have been justified and regenerated by faith in Jesus Christ. Why is it beneficial to recognize this as a spiritual reality for all Christians? 5. Romans 7:22 states, “For in my inner being I delight in God's law.” How can a person genuinely delight in God's law yet still struggle to live by it consistently? What does this reveal about the journey of spiritual growth? 6. Romans 7:24 states, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?” How does this verse express both despair and longing? Have you ever experienced that kind of desperation in your relationship with God? 7. The sermon emphasized that Romans 7:24-25 could be referred to as Paul's Four Steps. How do these steps connect to the struggle you face between your flesh and spirit? Have you taken these steps?They are:* HONEST CONFESSION: “Wretched man that I am!” (7:24a)* DESPERATE QUESTION: “Who will deliver me from this body of death?” (7:24b)* GOSPEL DECLARATION: “Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:25a) * OPEN ADMISSION: “So then, I serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh, I serve the law of sin.” (7:25b) 8. Tim Keller writes, “The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time, we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.” How does Keller's quote relate to Romans 7:14-25? How does his quote relate to you? What's your next step? * Connect: We'd love to connect with you!

Steve from Portland, Oregon, faces and an all-too-common consultative selling dilemma: how to sell to prospects who claim they already know everything, have already “done the research” and question what value he can bring. In this Ask Jeb episode we break down what true consultative selling entails, how to detach from “always be closing,” and why being a genuine expert is more vital now than ever. From Information Scarcity to Information Overload Not long ago, salespeople had the upper hand simply by having more data or insight than their prospects. Today, everyone has a blog, video, or TikTok to help them “figure it out.” This can leave a buyer believing, “I know just as much as you—so why should I trust your approach?” That's where consultative selling comes in, but only if you do it right. Consultative selling isn't about showing off your expertise. It's about guiding the customer to understand the real nature of their problem—often one they didn't fully realize or that's more complex than they initially thought. What True Consultative Selling Looks Like Consultants by definition don't barge in declaring, “Here's the solution.” They start by asking informed, open-ended questions and listening for patterns. They bring a sense of curiosity—an acknowledgment that they can't help until they deeply understand the client's unique environment. Four Steps of a Consultative Approach Assess and Analyze: Listen, observe, and probe with specific questions. Gain clarity on how the business operates and where potential issues lie. Design or Develop Solutions: Tailor ideas or strategies based on the actual problems your client is facing. No cookie-cutter templates here. Integrate and Implement:Work with the client to fold your solution into their workflows. Show them the path forward, not just a list of theoretical bullet points. Optimize and Operationalize: Stay engaged. Help the client refine and sustain the changes for long-term success. The Power of Detaching from the Outcome When you're obsessed with “the close,” you risk pushing your own agenda rather than uncovering the client's real challenges. Buyers can smell desperation a mile away. Detachment works with consultative selling because: It builds trust. You're not rushing to pitch; you're learning and diagnosing first. It reveals the real issues. Prospects open up more when they sense you're genuinely trying to see if you can help, not just bulldoze them into a sale. It prevents the “sleazy” vibe. Instead of coming off like yet another sales rep bragging about your knowledge, you show you're a collaborator ready to craft a solution if—and only if—it fits. Being the Expert Without Acting Like a Know-It-All In today's age of surplus information, it isn't enough just to learn a skill once. You have to remain curious and update your knowledge constantly. That's especially true in fields like digital marketing, sales tech, or AI—areas that can evolve daily. You'll be more credible when you Commit to ongoing learning. Read, watch, and listen to everything you can, including contrary opinions. Embrace nuance. Real expertise means recognizing that not every trend or hack will work for every client. Use informed questions. The best proof of your knowledge is the quality of the questions you ask. Clients can tell when your questions hit the root of their problem. Addressing Distrust in Competitive Industries In spaces like digital marketing, where so many agencies promise miracles, skepticism runs high. By entering a conversation with a consultative mindset, you set yourself apart from the noise: Focus on your prospect's specific context. Don't lump them into one-size-fits-all solutions. Acknowledge the client's prior experiences. They may have been burned by poor service or overhyped promises. Show empathy for their concerns.

Summary: In this episode of "Conversations with Kristi", Anna Sonoda discusses the grooming process that can occur with children and emphasises the critical role that adults play in recognising and interrupting this harmful behaviour. She highlights the importance of legal consequences and the need for adults to be vigilant in protecting children from potential harm. Key Takeaways: Every adult can interrupt the grooming process. Grooming often starts off appearing sweet. Grooming involves pulling children away from normal activities. Adults must be vigilant in recognizing grooming behaviors. Legal consequences are necessary for protecting children. Extended family may not always act in the child's best interest. Creating space between a child and their support system is a red flag. Opportunities to break rules can be a grooming tactic. Awareness of grooming is crucial for all adults. We must be the cornerstone of support for children.

Most entrepreneurs think they're chasing success. Could they actually be addicted to the struggle?   Alex Raymond is joined by Dr. Nona Djavid, the founder of eLIVate Club, to discuss why so many business owners feel stuck in cycles of burnout, even when they seem to be thriving. Dr. Djavid built a successful business, but instead of feeling fulfilled, she found herself exhausted and trapped. That realization changed everything. She wasn't chasing success; she was hooked on the struggle.   Why does overwork feel normal? And how do you break free from it? Dr. Djavid explains how subconscious beliefs and nervous system patterns keep entrepreneurs locked in hustle mode, even when they know there's a better way. She shares a four-step framework to shift from burnout to real, lasting success, starting with setting an unreasonable vision and ending with bold, aligned action.   For anyone tired of grinding toward the next milestone, Alex and Dr. Djavid's discussion offers a different path.
