This week, we explore traditional foods and identity with two amazing chefs. First, Food editor and author Monti Carlo talks about her visit home to Puerto Rico after many years away and how reconnecting with her roots shaped her approach to cooking traditional dishes, even adding her own spin, like her Bacalaíto Battered Onion Rings recipe. Monti Carlo is the Senior Food & Dining Editor at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and author of the latest book, Spanglish. Then, we get into the spicy, savory, sticky food of Laos with Saeng Douangdara. Saeng talks about his upbringing in Wisconsin, why sticky rice is a huge identifier of Laotian culture, and shares his favorite recipes, including his take on the Laab Taco. Saeng Douangdara is the author of The Lao Kitchen: Lao Flavors and Stories Told Through Family Recipes.Subscribe to @TheSplendidTable on YouTube for full podcast episodes and full-length video interviews!Broadcast dates for this episode:June 12, 2026 (originally aired)Generous listeners like you make The Splendid Table possible.

You can be a generous leader in a way that attracts people regardless of your title. The point is not comfort for comfort's sake; it is doing the right thing in the moment so people feel respected, coached, supported, and eager to contribute. I will show you that generous leadership is not tied to title. Whether you are the CEO or on day one, you can build a culture that feels clearer, fairer, and more trustworthy by how you manage people, measure work, give feedback, and recognize what really matters. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

God has called His children to walk with confidence in His goodness and provision, and not fall back into an orphan mentality. He's demonstrated being generous with us, so that we can be generous with others. In this message, we're going to continue our WE ARE series, and specifically talk about our call to live a life of generosity in all we do, think, and say.Visit us online at http://www.fathershouseportland.org

Generosity is an important fruit of understanding God's grace; it transforms us from accumulators into conduits of His blessings.

Ordinary Church 2: We are Generous | Rev. Amy Rowe by Incarnation Anglican Church

There was a version of me that did everything right. Generous, patient, never complained. Worked hard, provided, put her needs first. And Dawn hadn't truly desired me in years. This episode is about why. In this episode, I go completely off-script to share a stretch of my marriage to Dawn where, by my own account, I didn't exist. Not in the way that matters. I was there physically, going through the motions, doing all the things, but there was no actual person inside of it. Just a performance. A shape-shifting, approval-seeking, endlessly accommodating version of a man trying to earn something he could never earn his way to. I share what it actually cost me, what it looked like from inside the marriage, and the specific moment of humiliation that finally cracked something open. This isn't relationship advice. It's an honest account of what it took to go from a man Dawn could only tolerate to a man she actually craves. The difference wasn't a technique. It was becoming a real person. IN THIS EPISODE: The Noble Corpse: Why self-sacrifice doesn't make you generous or devoted. It makes you dead. The Performance Trap: Why being a "good guy" can leave you feeling completely empty and unlovable at the same time. The Humiliation Choice: The moment I realized I was trying to talk Dawn into wanting me, and what that moment actually meant. The False Blueprint: Why constructing a new and improved false self (the dominant man, the stoic man) doesn't fix anything. The Empty Home: Why your wife's lack of desire for you might have nothing to do with her, and everything to do with the fact that there's no one home inside your body.

What comes to mind when you hear words like generosity, mission, or supporting ministry? For some people, those words inspire gratitude. For others, they raise questions. Is generosity simply about giving more? Is mission about growing an organization? Or is there something deeper going on? In this opening message from our series The Generosity of God, we look at the surprising story of how the church in Philippi began. Before this church became known for its partnership, generosity, and joy, God was already at work. He opened a door for the Gospel, opened a woman's heart to receive it, and opened a life for His mission. At the center of this story is a truth that changes everything: Christian generosity does not begin with what we give to God. It begins with what God has given to us. Through Acts 16:6-15, we discover that generosity is not about earning God's favor or sustaining an institution. It is the natural response of people who have experienced the overwhelming generosity of God in Jesus Christ. Because before we open our lives to others, God opens His heart to us.

Sunday Night Potluck – In this unscripted livestream, I wrestle honestly with one of Jesus' most challenging commands: “Turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5 : 38-48). I explore the Old Testament background of “eye for an eye,” the surrounding context and how the early church understood this passage. I also confront the struggle to contextualize this verse in the modern context. How do we resist outrage culture and engage in the radical patience and forbearance that Jesus requires us to practice, even toward our enemies? In the final 30 minutes, I share my decades-long struggle to apply Matthew 5 to my own life.

Most meetings fail because they waste time transferring information that could have been shared another way. This episode argues for a more generous kind of meeting: one that respects people's time and energy, creates real contribution, and moves work forward with clarity and momentum. My point is simple: meetings should not feel like a necessary evil. They should be a place where people can contribute, understand the mission, and leave with a clear plan. Generous meetings are not softer or longer, they are smarter, more focused, and more human. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

In this episode, we explore a question that feels more urgent than ever: what if healing ourselves and healing the planet are deeply interconnected?Monica is joined by author Lindsay Branham, whose book Heartwood: The Wisdom and Healing Kinship of Trees chronicles her personal journey through chronic illness and toward a deeper relationship with the natural world. Guest co-host Florence Williams, bestselling author of The Nature Fix, also brings her expertise on nature, health, and well-being to this wide-ranging conversation.Together, they explore the story behind Heartwood and the experiences that led Lindsay from a career as a war journalist and Emmy Award–winning documentary filmmaker to an exploration of ecology, spirituality, and embodied healing. The conversation delves into interoception – sometimes called our “eighth sense” – and how tuning into the body's internal signals may help us reconnect with ourselves and the living world around us.From chronic illness and nervous system regulation to reciprocal healing, belonging, and even erotic ecology, this episode examines why so many of us are searching for deeper connection in an increasingly disconnected world and what nature may have to teach us about finding it. If you're interested in the intersection of science, spirituality, and healing, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.Show NotesHeartwood: The Healing Wisdom & Kinship of Trees by Lindsay BranhamHeartwood InstituteLindsay Branham on SubstackFlorence Williams The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative by Florence Williams Key Words: biophilia, biophilic design, nature connection, healing, planetary health, human health, ecology, spirituality, interoception, nervous system regulation, forest healing, nature therapy, forest bathing, ecological connection, mindfulness, embodiment, emotional well-being, Florence Williams, Lindsay Branham, Heartwood, The Nature Fix, Biophilic Solutions, sustainability, conservation, healing through nature, wild places, environmental psychology, holistic health, connection, natural world, regenerative living, personal transformation, neuroscience, nature and well-being, eco-spirituality, environmental stewardship, intentional livingBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

God is generous because love is generous, and God is Love.

The Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 9, encourages believers to prepare in advance for generosity, emphasizing that it is a planned, joyful, and faith-filled act rather than an accidental one. This intentional giving reflects our trust in God's abundant provision and fuels His ongoing mission.

A listener recently asked us a question that many homeschool co-ops eventually face: What do you do when a family wants to participate… but simply can't afford the fees? Should co-ops offer scholarships or benevolence funds? If they do, how do you decide who receives help? Where does the money come from? And how do you create a system that is both compassionate and sustainable? If your co-op has ever wrestled with balancing generosity and responsibility, this conversation is for you.

Through practical wisdom and personal insight, Chad explores the difference between leading from abundance versus scarcity, explaining how generous leaders multiply influence, develop people instead of draining them, and build cultures that empower others to thrive.

Negotiation is something you do all the time, not just in formal business settings. You negotiate with family, with colleagues, with clients, and sometimes even with yourself, so the way you show up in those moments says a lot about your character and your leadership. This episode is about becoming a better negotiator by thinking generously. That does not mean giving everything away or pretending value does not matter. It means understanding the other side, protecting your own value, and moving through each stage of negotiation with clarity, respect, and good faith. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

Mark 1:9–13

OLLOW: Walking the Narrow Way is a spiritual formation journey designed to move Liberty Church from believers to disciplesFrom spectators to participators, from saved to surrendered, from interested to invested. This series calls our church to return to the original invitation of Jesus: “Come, follow Me” (Matthew 4:19)Following Jesus is not a moment, it's a lifestyle. It's not casual, it's costly. It's not cultural…it's countercultural. Jesus described it as the narrow way, a path few choose but all are invited to walk.This series will challenge, stretch, and grow our church. It will confront casual Christianity, deepen spiritual hunger, and raise the standard of what it means to be a follower of Jesus in a culture of convenience.But more than challenge, it will inspire hope.Because the narrow way is not walked alone—it is walked with Jesus.And where He leads, He transforms.FOLLOW: Walking the Narrow Way is more than a sermon series.It's an invitation.It's a calling.It's a formation path.It's a turning point for Liberty Church.#discipleship #churchonline #follow #walkingthenarroway #sundaysermon Subscribe to receive our latest messages: • Latest Sermons To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://www.lccleveland.com/giveIf you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE:https://share.fluro.io/form/623355a72...Liberty Church is located in Cleveland, TX, and is led by Pastors Preston and Paige Bostwick.Stay ConnectedWebsite:https://www.lccleveland.com/Liberty Church Facebook: https:// / lcclevelandtx Liberty Church Instagram: https:// / libertychurchctx Click here for our latest sermons: / libertychurchcleveland CCLI License: 22259469Used with permission under CCLI License.

Series: A Generous Spirit  Title: The Generous Church Speaker: Pastor Corinne Gunter Date: May 24, 2026 SERIES OVERVIEW What if generosity isn't something God wants from you… But something He wants to form in you? In this sermon series, we'll discover that generosity is not about pressure, guilt, or obligation—it's about transformation. When the Holy Spirit fills your life, He reshapes your heart, reorders your priorities, and begins to flow through you in powerful ways. This series will challenge the way you see God, your resources, and your purpose. Because the truth is: You don't manufacture generosity— you receive it from God, and it flows through you to others. Together we will discover that generosity isn't just something we do—it's who we become when the Holy Spirit fills us.

What does it actually take to build a sustainable kingdom culture as your business grows? This week I'm joined by Stephanie Smith — CEO of Inspiration Travel, the premier Christian international travel company that has been creating custom-designed Christian travel events for over four decades. Stephanie is a second-generation CEO, a servant leader, and one of my own coaching clients — and she brings both deep wisdom and refreshing authenticity to one of the most important conversations we can have as Christian business leaders. If you are scaling, bringing on new team members, or simply wondering how to keep the culture the Lord gave you alive as your organization grows — this episode is for you. In This Episode: How Inspiration Travel's mission, vision, and five core values show up in their work Why Stephanie believes the purpose of her company might actually be the impact she makes on her employees What stewardship really means for a Christian CEO,  and why it goes far beyond finances The three C's of sustaining culture: clarity, consistency, and accountability Why nobody just absorbs culture — and what you actually have to do to build it intentionally Five practical ways Christian leaders can sustain culture as the business grows Why abiding with the Lord every morning is the foundation on which everything else is built Biblical Truth for Business:  Servant leadership is modeled after Jesus Stewardship of people, finances, and purpose is what makes culture thrive Operating in your specific God-given gifts and strengths is critical for leaders Stephanie's Five Practical Ways to Sustain Kingdom Culture: Hire and promote well — You can teach skills, but you cannot teach values Make your culture visible — Bring your values into every meeting, email, and conversation Invest in your team — Develop, encourage, and equip the people already in your organization Don't avoid the hard conversations — Accountability protects the culture you've built Anchor yourself in the Lord — Starting your day with Him is the foundation of everything Inspiration Travel's Five Core Culture Words: Meticulous. Generous. Intentional. First in class. Dedicated.  Key Takeaway: As Stephanie said, culture doesn't just happen — it is built intentionally through clarity, consistency, and accountability. And it starts at the top. If you want your team to be servant leaders, you have to be a servant leader first. If you want excellence, you have to model excellence. And sustainability all starts with being anchored in Jesus.  This Week's Reflection: Are you clearly communicating your culture or assuming people will just absorb it? Are you hiring and promoting based on values alignment or just skill level? What hard conversation have you been avoiding that could actually protect your culture? How would your mornings change if you started each day saying, "Lord, I'm giving you my day"? Connect With Stephanie and Inspiration Travel: Website: inspirationtravel.com Instagram, Facebook & LinkedIn: Inspiration Travel God made you ambitious. He did not make you for business as usual. And that means the culture you build should reflect him in every word, deed, and every open door.

The good news of Jesus changes the way we live. In Acts 2, we see a community so transformed by God's generosity that they freely shared their lives, gifts, and resources with one another. In this message, we explore what it means to live open-handed lives shaped by the generosity of Jesus. As we close this series, we are invited to consider how God may be calling each of us to serve, give, and participate in His mission through the life of the church.⚫CONNECT WITH US:

From airplane propellers in WWI to water pumps to hydrotherapy, entrepreneurship ran deep.12:00 — The Jacuzzi family sold the business in 1979 at a bad time; infighting over share distribution led to the undoing. Mike's father passed away suddenly when Mike was seven, reshaping his childhood.16:00 — Stepfather John introduced frugality and discipline. The $1/week allowance ledger, $5 lawn mowing, and a grandfather's advice — "Sounds like you need some new customers" — sparked Mike's entrepreneurial instincts.20:00 — Sailing discovery: learned on a chalkboard, walked onto a college team with zero experience, eventually pursued competitive offshore racing. Sailing opened doors and became a lifelong thread.27:00 — In New York prepping a sailboat, Mike stumbles into Brian H. Lawrence's investing circle at Oak Cliff Sailing. Lawrence seeds Top Mark Capital with $100,000; Mike had $10,000.33:00 — Joel Greenblatt sighting at the Lawrence office. Brian Lawrence Jr. guides Mike through fund setup. "I just did it" — filed Delaware entities, opened Interactive Brokers, built it from scratch.40:00 — Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: static vs. dynamic quality as a framework for value investing. Value investors hunt for dynamic quality; dogma is dynamic quality that became static.45:00 — Top Mark's asymmetry thesis: buy quality businesses with unrecognized option value exposed to long-arc trends. Venture capital's trend-identification applied to public equities.53:00 — "Software is eating the world" evolution: from cloud to AI/ML to the current harness phase — Claude Code, Cursor, Perplexity. Enormous infrastructure demand ahead.59:00 — Healthcare disruption: genomic sequencing costs dropped from $1 billion to ~$200. Diagnostics + AI will reshape the care model before patients even see a doctor.1:07:00 — Partnerships over transactions. Buffett told Brian Lawrence only 1-2% of world capital is invested this way — and Berkshire is half of it.1:10:00 — Success defined: Mom's family had love without wealth, Dad's family had wealth with problems, the Lawrences had both. "Surround yourself with good people."1:12:00 — Restoring what was lost: the Jacuzzi fortune, Polish communism — generational wealth as inspiration, not entitlement.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC. All statements and opinions expressed are based upon information considered reliable although it should not be relied upon as such.

Most people were taught to survive pressure. Get through the week. Keep pushing. Stay busy. Protect what's yours. Hope things get better. But what if pressure is not just something to survive? What if pressure is revealing what is really happening in your heart? In this episode of Cashflow Legendz, Nate and Brandon talk about the idea of generous resilience: the ability to endure pressure, disappointment, and difficulty without becoming guarded, bitter, isolated, or contaminated by it. The conversation centers around one powerful question: When pressure hits, do you become generous or guarded? Nate and Brandon unpack how pressure exposes the difference between ownership and stewardship, fear and faith, scarcity and abundance, surviving and pouring into others. They also talk about the importance of accountability, the danger of chasing opportunities without prayer and wisdom, and why every person is leading something, whether it is a business, a household, a family, or their own personal ecosystem. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why pressure reveals what is really happening in the heart The difference between being resilient and being generously resilient How scarcity shows up through fear-based decisions, hesitation, and isolation Why stewardship is different from ownership How faith should shape financial and business decisions Why accountability and trusted relationships create faster growth How optimism can be realistic without becoming fake positivity Why leadership is not just about surviving the week How to decide who will be better because of you this week This episode is a reminder that pressure does not have to shrink you. It can stretch you. And when you respond with faith, generosity, stewardship, and resilience, the pressure you are facing can become part of the testimony God uses to encourage someone else.

We live in a world that constantly tells us we never have enough—more money, more success, more security, more stuff. Excess isn't just present in our culture; it's the goal in our culture. But the Kingdom of God calls us to live by a different economy: not accumulation, but generosity; not ownership, but stewardship; not “what can I keep,” but “what can I release for the good of others.” As followers of Jesus, we are called not to fit into this world, but to become an otherworldly witness in the middle of it — Generous in a Culture of Excess.
