We can't fool God. He knows how we feel and what we want to say to Him. Hiding our feelings and holding our words doesn't help anything. Psalm 42 and 43 challenge us to feel what we need to feel and say what we need to say. We don't stop there! We can praise Him again. 

Rebecca Lynn Howard stormed into country music with “Forgive,” a powerhouse ballad that turned heads and proved her voice was the real deal. Not long after, Trisha Yearwood heard her play a song and asked to cut it on the spot—years later, they’d co-write Trisha’s latest single, “Girls Night In.” Rebecca went on to form The Loving Mary Band, which became Steven Tyler’s personal band—showing she could crush it in any genre, on any stage. But behind the music was a deeper journey: grieving her father, reclaiming her health, and coming back stronger than ever. Her new album, “I’m Not Who You Think I Am,” is raw, real, and full of hard-won truth. This is Rebecca—bold, honest, and completely unforgettable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Romans 14:1-12 The post Getting Real With God & Man appeared first on Calvary Chapel Chino Hills.

Yes!  You are in!  Are you a strong man?  Are you a strong woman?  What is a strong man?  Whoa, lot's of questions.  That's what we do here.  Getting Real and Pursuing Truth, oh and if you dig that opening hook, that is Marcus Rogers, Best Life, please buy/subscribe his music, here you go...Thank you Robert D. Wooten, making his debut as the play of the day on FriDudes.  NPHX not your debut yet major kudos for having that strong man speak.  I strongly encourage you to listen to the rest of that message, which can be found at this link in the show description...https://youtu.be/5bneMdVZHxM?si=nhoBZHQ4eDIFhkHGWays of the world will judge and say what is toxic.  Toxic masculinity?  You know what I call toxic?  Saying that if you are a certain gender or race that you are automatically toxic.  That is discrimination.  The Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., a black life with whom we celebrate and even honor with a national holiday says, "Let us select by content of character...not by color of skin.".  Gender can apply to that statement too."I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Didn't we just have an episode on about not judging?  Yes!  And I so appreciate MLK Jr.'s words.  If we are to be judged, let it not by something trivial like skin color or gender, etc.  Character.  ISo let's get real and pursue some truth more.  We know the danger verse of judging (if not, back up one episode).  We know that verse that we are all flawed...Rom 3:23.  So we know there is no perfect character.  Yet we also know there are stronger characters than others.  We know a stronger character will show fruits of the spirit...Galatians 5:22 NLTBut the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulnessNLT: New Living Translationhttps://www.bible.com/bible/116/gal.5.22So a Strong Man = Strong Character.  Same with a strong woman.  Think about your favorite people.  Do you love people that take advantage of you or treat you with respect, the fruits mentioned above with character?  Yes, I love rhetorical questions.  Confession, at times, I have not been a Strong Man.  Avid listener, you know my dirt....if not back up, perhaps even to episode 1...if you dare.  Yet a Strong Man will confess in order to be healed, James 5:16.  A strong man will turn where needed and correct what can be corrected.  In progress right now.Are you worthy to be served/submitted?  Many religious like to point out wives submit to your husbands.  Not many point how it opens in Ephesians 5.  21 And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.  Eph 5:21https://www.bible.com/bible/116/EPH.5.NLTConfession, it is much easier to serve one another when we have our A games.  However, on the days we don't, what did/does your Jesus Christ do for you?  Does he forgive you?  If you believe and choose John 3:16 and Rom 8:1, then, yes, absolutely.  That's a Strong and Amazing Grace Savior.Matt 22: 36-40

Matt Zeigler and Ben Tuscai of Sunpoint Investments take a different approach to wealth management. Instead of just managing money, they combine deep financial planning with investment consulting to build real relationships and help clients make smarter decisions.Their paths into the industry were unique—Matt was a music major, and Ben worked for the Phillies before spending eight years at Vanguard. That experience helps them think more broadly about client needs. At Sunpoint, they helped redesign the firm's service model to go beyond portfolios and address the full picture of a client's life.They work with everyone from young professionals to billion-dollar families, applying the same core principles: track cash flow, build strong balance sheets, plan for life events, and manage risk. For ultra-wealthy families, they focus on education—teaching kids as early as sixth grade to understand money and avoid entitlement.They call it “garden glove service”—hands-on, practical, and focused on building something meaningful. They also emphasize five types of capital: financial, human, intellectual, social, and wisdom.Their planning helps clients avoid tax mistakes, close insurance gaps, and navigate big life transitions. As Matt says, they often just “stand between clients and stupid.”You can follow Ben on LinkedIn or The Advisor Dads YouTube channel, and Matt on Linkedin and Twitter @cultishcreative.Music in this episode was obtained from Bensound.

Often, the effectiveness of a communication exchange isn't so much what's said as how it's said. I've had some really amazing conversations in the past few days, some of which really surprised me. One in particular wasn't planned, and with that spontaneity a really enjoyable connection was enhanced. What are you noticing about the conversations and dialogues, discussions, debates, that are happening around you, with you, for you? In this episode I mention the Enlightened Leadership Lab (www.enlightenedleadershiplab.com) as well as the book "The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership" by Dethmer, Chapman, and Klemp.

After bursting onto the scene in 2017 with their breakout debut album Hallelujah Nights, and 5X Platinum hit Greatest Love Story, Lanco rocketed to country music stardom. Fueled by chart-topping hits and infectious energy, they found themselves living at the top of the game—touring nationwide, appearing on late-night shows, and rubbing shoulders with celebrity friends. It was a whirlwind of success, and for a while, it seemed like nothing could slow them down. But life has a way of shifting the spotlight. In the years since their debut, the band faced the quiet that follows the noise. The fame faded into reflection, and instead of chasing the next big thing, they regrouped. The members of Lanco—now all fathers—took a step back and started asking deeper questions: What does success really mean? What kind of legacy do we want to leave? Their long-awaited second album, We’re Gonna Make It, is the raw and redemptive product of that soul-searching journey. It’s a record rich with perspective—an honest reflection on family, faith, failure, and the fight to stay grounded in a world that constantly pulls you off your feet. We’re Gonna Make It is the sound of a band that’s grown up, gotten real, and finally found what matters most.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome today fellow griever. I appreciate you, I see you and thank you so much for listening and if you can, please ---Support the showToday, I'm taking you behind the scenes — not just of the podcast, but of why I do all of this.Spoiler alert: it's not about making six figures. Not even close to what it's about! It started with a mic, a grieving heart, and the hope that I could create the kind of podcast I couldn't find after losing my son Alex to suicide. And in many ways, most ways that matter, it still is about that same 'seed' that was planted when the podcast started... the desire to create the space i couldn't find and to walk alongside others on this journey.In this episode, I share how The Leftover Pieces was born — and how everything that's followed (coaching, community, books, retreats…) has grown out of real conversations with other survivors like you. We talk about how I approach grief support differently, why I resist cookie-cutter coaching models, and how I've built this space with heart, not hustle.Yes, I left a full-time job to do this.No, I don't have sponsors or ads.Yes, this work is sacred.And yes — if the podcast has helped you, you can support it (there's a button on the website) — but this episode? It's just me, being real, with no pitch. Just truth. The link is also here in the show notes (top and bottom) BUT I would love you to check out all of the new and newly "spruced up" things on the website! I have been working hard and am so proud of what you will find there.Take what serves you, leave the rest. And thank you — truly — for being here.

In this episode, Monick Halm gets real about the early mistakes that nearly derailed her real estate investing journey. From confusing HGTV with actual strategy to losing money month after month and trying to figure it all out alone, Monick shares the hard-won lessons that transformed her portfolio—and her purpose.

Naomi grew up off the grid—one of 11 kids living in a converted school bus, traveling the country, and even spending time in a cult. She learned guitar as a child, playing at gas stations to help her family afford life on the road. Now a wife and mother, Naomi is opening up about the full truth of her past—and the moment that changed everything. After nearly dying during childbirth, she gained a profound new perspective on life. That experience sparked a deep inner shift, awakening a fierce feminine strength and emotional clarity that flows through her latest work. Her new songs, “Bricks Make Houses” and “Mama Ain’t Jesus,” are her most honest yet—music that embraces both the pain and the beauty of the road that led her here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to episode 87 of the One for the Money podcast. Retirement is the ultimate dream for many, but there are realities of retirement that everyone needs to be aware of. Better retirement planning will incorporate these realities so it leads to a better life in retirement. In the tips, tricks, and strategies portion, I will share ten tips when you are 10 years from retirement.In this episode...Your Biggest Expense Isn't What You Think [2:08]Your Biggest Fear is Misplaced [3:20]Regret is More Common Than You Think [4:40]The Real Risk Isn't a Market Crash [5:08]Your Most Expensive Years Are… Surprising [5:59]Your Health = Your Wealth [6:26]Identity Crisis Incoming [6:48]Estate Planning is About More Than Money [7:30]We often forget that retirement is only a recent invention. It hasn't been around for that long. For most of human history, people worked until death or until their family could care for them when they were unable to work any longer. Retirement allows one to enjoy a life of leisure even though one is still capable of work. It really is a more amazing concept than we give it credit, and it truly is an absolute luxury of both the modern and first world. It's amazing to think that a person can work and invest for 30-40 years and then live off that work for another 30-40 more years. Your great-grandparents would've thought that was science fiction. And honestly, for billions around the world, it still is.If you are literally and figuratively fortunate enough to enjoy such a dream as retirement, here are the most important retirement realities as I see them.

Zach Windahl grew up going to church, but it wasn’t until a low point in 2014—when he seriously questioned if Christianity was even for him—that his faith became real. He packed up and moved to Australia for an intensive Bible study, spending 12 hours a day, six days a week in Scripture. Within a week, everything changed. That transformation sparked a calling: help people actually understand the Bible. Zach launched The Brand Sunday, which went on to become one of the fastest-growing brands in the country. Now, with The Bible Simplified, he’s making the storyline of the Bible clear, accessible, and deeply relevant—no fluff, no pressure, just real truth for real life. His mission? To meet people where they are, simplify faith, and show that the Bible isn’t just for scholars—it’s for everyone.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let me tell you about my friend Gabrielle — she’s honestly something out of a miracle story. Gabi is a true conduit for healing energy, like the real deal. After going through her own journey of breaking chains and healing herself — spiritually and physically (yes, literally healing her body and others’ too) — she realized she couldn’t keep these gifts to herself. She had to share them with the world. What’s wild is where her journey started. Believe it or not, Gabi first tapped into her gifts as a sex phone therapist. Crazy, right? But here’s the beautiful part: what she discovered was that the men calling her weren’t actually looking for what you might think — they were craving something deeper. They needed real healing. They needed someone to listen, to see them. That opened a door for Gabi. She realized that healing isn’t about fixing people — it’s about helping them remember their own power. Fast forward to today, she’s this incredible force, teaching others how to break free from their chains, reclaim their power, and heal themselves, just like she did. It’s powerful. It’s inspiring. It’s pure magic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
