Why do we keep reacting the same way — even when we know better? Why do the same emotional cycles keep showing up in our relationships, careers, and self-talk? In this week's episode of Getting Through the Week, I'm diving into the emotional patterns we carry — the ones we often inherited, absorbed, or developed to survive. These patterns aren't flaws… they're echoes. And healing begins when we finally see them with compassion. We'll talk about: What emotional patterns actually are (and how they form) How your nervous system plays a role in your reactions The quiet grief of outgrowing old responses How to begin interrupting the loop with awareness, not judgment This isn't just about self-awareness — it's about self-liberation. And it all starts by looking inward, with honesty and gentleness.

Throughout our discussion, Michelle highlights key techniques such as "show me, don't tell me” and the importance of self-regulation, especially during stressful periods.

Getting Through the Tough Times Oh the nights are so tough! Have you been there? Have you laid in the utter darkness and the quiet is deafening, the pain is unbearable, and you feel like you will ever get through this moment of phantom pain? Yep, the reality is, we all go through it at some point or another, to varying degrees. The last two nights, for me, have started great, I feel asleep and wasn't feeling anything in the way of phantom pain. However, as soon as I shift, the sensations would start and the I couldn't shut them off! It's almost unbearable. To sit in the dark, feeling like your body is screaming out loud, and no one else knows. My husband, laying right next to me, has no idea what I am feeling or that I am even going through this.... and he won't know until morning. Have you experienced this? How about when you are out and about in a crowded store or venue, and your limb is on fire, or a sore within your socket is rubbing raw and stinging? And no one knows the pain you are feeling as you stand in line at the grocery store? Such is the life of an amputee. It comes and goes. Most of the time there is no warning, it just comes at you. So how do you deal with this, seeing as this is your life now? First off, we all deal with pain differently, what works for one person won't work for another. As you experience these "episodes" you will learn what works for you (oh, and for added fun, what worked last time for you might not work the next). You can only prepare yourself for the mental battles ahead. Communicate. Let the people around you know how you are feeling and what you need. They can't see what's happening within you and not everyday, all day is bad. Make sure you speak up and not assume they understand. Build mental toughness. Use positivity and positive self-talk to get through hard times. You can redirect how your brain process what you are going through by the way you address it, internally and out loud. Try not to fall back on medications every time you feel "out of sorts". This goes for people dealing with the average phantom sensations/pains. I do not know what you've been going through and what you have been prescribed, so you need to do what you need to do but I will tell you that I will only use Tylenol or Advil once in a blue moon, when all else fails and when I can't take anymore. There is no right way to handle an episode, but if you can stay away from prescription medication, and start leaning on your own devices to handle the mental situation, then do it. You'll be stronger in the long run and your body will thank you. These moments are truly times to develop your mental toughness. Sometimes we just need to hit them head on to become a stronger version of ourselves so we are ready for the next battle. Finding time for myself to breathe and let go, helps me thru hard times Don't forget you were made to fight, and survive. You are a Warrior, you just need to unleash its within you and believe that you are strong enough to handle it. Rise up, Warrior, and face your battles with inner strength! You can do it, and you are not alone! I pray you have a wonderful week ahead, And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love, Remember: You are Beautiful, so just Be-YOU!

After an exhausting year of politics and the re-election of Donald Trump, what is a faithful way for Christians to navigate the next four years? Should we continue to immerse ourselves in political news, or is it better to disconnect from the media? And should Christians join the political fights online, or unplug to better serve our local communities? The Holy Post crew responds to articles by a number of Christians leaders addressing these questions. Then, New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright, is back to discuss the book of Acts. Wright says an understanding of ancient temples is the key to the message of Acts. Also this week—the origin of F-words. Holy Post Plus Bonus Interview with N. T.

Welcome back! In this episode, we're diving into the world of managing challenging behaviors—a topic every parent can relate to. We often think of behavior as just an action, but today's guest, Dr. Andrew Kahn, highlights that behavior is a form of communication. By reframing how we understand what our children are trying to express through their actions, we can open up new possibilities for positive outcomes for both parents and children. This shift in perspective can be a powerful tool for responding to even the most challenging behaviors in ways that support growth and connection. Dr. Kahn also emphasizes the role of self-regulation, a skill that is valuable for both parents and children. Dr. Kahn describes how parents can model self-regulation by managing their own emotions first, taking a moment to pause before addressing a challenging behavior. Listen on for practical advice on adjusting expectations and being realistic about the consequences we set for our children. This episode is full of insights to empower you as a parent in handling challenging behaviors with empathy, patience, and in a way that allows your child the room to fall and learn. Show Notes: [1:56] - Understanding a child's behavior can lead to more positive outcomes for parents and children. Behavior is communication. [3:02] - As adults, it is hard for us to remember the frustration and other emotions associated with not being understood as children. [4:44] - When people are upset, especially children, they revert to the behavior of a younger child, which creates frustration for parents. [7:01] - Self-regulation can be a primary barrier to being able to think and problem solve. [8:54] - Taking a moment to regulate your emotions as a parent is a form of modeling, as long as you return to the moment and explain. [10:44] - There's no instruction manual, and parenting a child with learning differences certainly does not have a rule book. [13:26] - It is incredibly important to parents to understand their child's differences. [16:07] - As parents, we like to think we have a bag of tricks, but some of these tricks don't work every time. [18:00] - Social media is great in creating a sense of community. But the information there is not always vetted and can have a lot of misinformation. [20:58] - Resources at Understood.org are completely free and accessible. [23:51] - One strategy is to reflect on how realistic our expectations are regarding a child's behavior. [25:30] - Consequences for behaviors need to also be realistic based on the situation, the child, the behavior, and whether natural consequences take place. [26:37] - If you can't handle your child being in distress, as a parent, you will be in more distress. [28:06] - If a parent does not give their child moments of failure, they will feel invincible as they grow up. [30:16] - It is important for parents to care for themselves. This is also an important modeling opportunity for children. About Our Guest: Dr. Andrew Kahn is Understood's Associate Director of Behavior Change and Expertise, and is a licensed psychologist. He focuses on ADHD, learning differences, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, behavior, executive function, and emotional regulation.

Sometimes it feels like talking to a wall when we make recommendations to patients. We want so desperately to help them, it's actually IMPERATIVE for their health that they listen, but how do we help anyone that doesn't want to hear what we have to say? Mark Goulston's book, Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone, teaches us how to draw people in so that they can't help but listen - but surprise, turns out WE'RE the problem that needs fixing first. The answer lies in this mistake you're repeatedly making, thinking this is how you get people to listen when you're only driving people farther away. In this episode I unpack some of the incredible communications/business lessons from this book and tailor them to our scenarios every day at work as healthcare providers - here is how to ACTUALLY reach people and be heard.

New PODCAST RELEASE - INTERVIEW with Australian Singer / Songwriter (and now resident of Nashville) IMOGEN CLARK! Rob and Matt had a great fun conversation with the greatly talented Imogen Clark. We had a ton of laughs (which is always a good thing). Besides bringing up Springsteen, Colin Hay, Sheena Easton and Sheryl Crow we talk about her big move to Nashville, the inspiration behind her newest video for THE NOISE, the time she played a mining town of only men, writing and recording with Colin Hay (Men at Work) and much much more! ******** JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IMOGEN CLARK: From an early age, Imogen's life was steeped in music. From just eight years old, she was trained as an opera singer, the foundation for her roof-raising vocal power and range. By the age of twelve, she had transitioned to the guitar and piano and the start of her songwriting journey. Raised on a cocktail of Bruce Springsteen and Violent Femmes, her musical palette expanded with influences from contemporary artists like HAIM, Maggie Rogers, and the indomitable Taylor Swift. Her father, a former punk rocker and now retired high school teacher, also played a pivotal role in shaping her musical inclinations. His influence, combined with her own experiences, gave birth to a unique and timeless sound, blending pop-rock and indie-pop. Imogen's determination is evidenced by her achievements of the last three years, especially her two acclaimed EPs, 2020's "The Making of Me" and the AIR-nominated 2021's "Bastards". After recording “Bastards” over Zoom amidst the COVID lockdowns in Sydney, Imogen was determined to flip the script completely for her album. After writing over a hundred songs, she embarked on a musical pilgrimage, traveling to cities that have inspired her musically - London, Nashville, and Los Angeles. This journey took her to some of the world's most iconic recording spaces including Peter Frampton's Studio Phenix in Nashville, Abbey Road in London, and East West in Los Angeles, where the legendary "Pet Sounds" was recorded. The forthcoming album “The Art of Getting Through” is proudly genre-agnostic, encapsulating Imogen's range as a songwriter and recording artist. The lyrics are her most bracingly personal and vulnerable, the music more powerful and anthemic than ever. From navigating her identity to touching on the shadows of an eating disorder, each of Imogen's songs unfold like a chapter in a deeply personal diary, capturing moments, memories, and confessions from her journey. It's no wonder collaborators from Alex Lahey to Colin Hay to Steve Poltz to members of Gang of Youths, Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello's Imposters, Dawes, My Morning Jacket and more have lined up to collaborate with an artist whose dynamism, relentless creativity and striving to be the most fully evolved version of herself, both in and out of the studio, shows her as a force to be reckoned with, and one who is just getting started. ************ You can find IMOGEN at imgogenclarkmusic.com.au , Facebook and Instagram (@imogenclarkmusic) Be sure to look for her upcoming 3rd studio album "The Art of Getting Through" on May 31st, 2024! ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found on Podbean (host site), Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and almost anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Mentoring Week #11 How to pray for your children (CLICK HERE for info on mentoring)Welcome to this week's Mentoring Session! Tonight I will talk about how to pray for your children. If you do not have children, you can use these suggestions to pray for nieces and nephews. your friend's children, or all the children of the world. All children need our prayers. We can see how badly our own children or those close to us need prayers. Now, imagine they didn't have anyone praying for them. There are so many children out there who have no one praying for them. Tonight, I will start with our kids, or those close to us, because I know many of our hearts our heavy with worry for our children.First, let me begin by saying there is no right or wrong way to pray for your children. What I will be doing today is going over several things I have learned over the years while searching for various ways to pray for my boys. I have three boys who are 15, 18 & 19 right now. They are all stable compared to where they have been in the past, yet they could still all use prayers. I have learned over the years not to worry about them too much as I know God is looking out for them. This trust has come through growing closer to the Lord and also through counseling.I say counseling because sometimes you need someone else to point things out to you. When my boys were younger I would stress about their future. One of them was physically abusive towards family members and I would worry that would mean he would be an abusive husband and dad. I had another son that did many unsafe behaviors and I was worried he would accidentally kill himself. You can see how that would be pretty stressful. I had a counselor who explained to me that it doesn't do any good to worry about the future because so much could happen between now and then.For instance, at the time, it would be at least seven years or more before my boys were adults. She said a lot can happen in those seven years. They could grow out of the behavior, get help for the behavior, or have someone come into their lives and change. Basically, why worry about something that may never happen? At the same time as I was learning this, I was also learning to trust the Lord more. When I let what my counselor was telling me really sink in and then I also realized God loves my boys more than I ever could imagine, I was finally able to release almost all the worry that I have for my children. It was truly freeing and I pray each of you listening learns how to turn your worry over to God and release it. If you want help, let me know.Now, just because I don't worry about my children's futures doesn't mean I am not praying for them. I am still praying for them and for the things I would like to see happen in their lives. Tony and I wrote a prayer for the boys about two years ago. We said it daily for a week or two, and then I said it on my own for a bit, and then we slowly forgot about it. I found the prayer the other day and looked through it to see if any of the things we prayed for had come true yet. Almost all of the prayers had been answered. We have seen many positive changes in the boys and many of them were listed in our prayer. I hope you can see the power of our prayers for our children. When we ask, God answers. So start asking specifically what you would like to see. I am a big believer in praying specifically because then God gets all the more glory. It is much easier to see when God has answered a specific prayer than a generic prayer. For instance, if you are praying for your kid's behavior to get better, what is the measurement of better? How will you know if it is better, especially if the improvement is there, but small and you are around it all day? How about if you prayed that your child would go a whole hour or a whole day without doing a certain behavior? Then would you notice if that prayer was answered? What about praying that your child would make a really good friend at school? Would you know when that prayer was answered? Do you get what I am saying? The more specific we are with our prayers, the more we will be able to praise God when He answers them.I also strongly believe that we should write down our prayer requests—not just those for our kids but those others have asked us to pray for as well. When we write down our prayers, we have a record of all the things we ask God for, and then, if we periodically go through the book we wrote them down in, we can see all the prayers He has answered for us. This is extremely helpful when we are going through a really hard time. When we are struggling, and it feels like God isn't answering any of our prayers, we can look through our book or prayers and see all the ones He has answered for us in the past. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” If He did it before He will do it again.A few years ago, I started a notebook with prayer requests in it. When I write a prayer request in the book, I leave several blank lines before I write the next request. These blank lines are so that I can go and update the request with a praise report when it is answered. I also highlight all the requests that have been answered so I can go back and look at them whenever I need to be reminded that God answers prayers. I also look back when I am feeling down and need a little pick me up.Now that you know being specific in your prayers and writing down your prayer requests is important let's discuss specific prayer points. (SLIDE) I read a book called The Power of a Praying Parent by Stormie Omartian. This book really opened my eyes to the various things we can pray for our children. She prayed very specifically, and for things, I had never thought of before. I would highly recommend this book. At the end of each chapter, she has a specific prayer written out for the subject of that chapter. Here are the chapter titles so you can get an idea of what I am talking about. Releasing my child into God's Hands, Securing Protection from Harm, Feeling Love and Protected, Establishing and Eternal Future, Honoring Parents and Resisting Rebellion, Maintaining Good Family Relationships. Attracting Godly Friends and Role Models, Developing a Hunger for the Things of God, Being the Person God Created, Following Truth & Rejecting Lies, Enjoying the Life of Health and Healing, Having the Motivation for Proper Body Care, Instilling the Desire to Learn, Identifying God-Given Gifts and Talents, Learning to Speak Life, Staying Attracted to Holiness and Purity, Praying through a Child's Room, Enjoying Freedom of Fear, Receiving a Sound Mind, Inviting the Joy of the Lord, Destroying an Inheritance of Family Bondage, Avoiding Alcohol, Drugs, and Other Addictions, Rejecting Sexual Immorality, Finding the Perfect Mate, Living Free of Unforgiveness, Walking in Repentance, Breaking Down Ungodly Strongholds, Seeking Wisdom and Discernment, Growing in Faith, Getting Through the Teenage Years Successfully and Praying for Your Adult Children.Did you hear any titles that took you by surprise? There were several that I would not ever have thought to pray about and yet when I did, I saw changes. One I can think of off the top of my head is the chapter on praying for my kids to have the motivation for proper body care. We had three teenage boys who weren't that fond of showering, and with all the other issues we had going on in our house, this was the least of my worries. Yet, I didn't want them to be the “smelly” kid in school. I wanted them to have friends, and that is difficult when you smell bad. Tony and I added this into our daily prayer for the boys for a bit and now they all take better care of their hygiene. I wouldn't say they are where I want them to be, but they are doing much better and I didn't have to nag them all the time. I just needed to pray for them. What specific prayers can you start saying to see changes in your kids?Another suggestion I have received recently is to pray in my children's rooms after they go to school. I was told to go into their room and bless it and to bind any spirits that might be there. You have authority over all spirits that are in your house. All Spirits, good and evil, are bound by our free will. If we tell them to leave, they must obey. Your prayer can be as simple as Lord, I bless this room, and I bind any evil spirits that might be here, and I send them to the foot of the cross. However, there is a prayer in the book I mentioned a few minutes ago for praying in your child's room, and it is really good. You can part of it, or all of it depending on what fits for you. It says,“Lord, I invite your Holy Spirit to dwell in this room, which belongs to (name of child). You are Lord over heaven and earth, and I proclaim that you are Lord over this room as well. Flood it with your light and life. Crowd out any darkness which seeks to impose itself here, and let no spirits of fear, depression, anger, doubt, anxiety, rebelliousness, or hatred (name anything you've seen manifested in your child's behavior) find any place here. I pray that nothing will come into this room that is not approved by you, Lord. If there is anything here that shouldn't be, show me it so it can be taken out. Put your complete protection over this room so the evil cannot enter here by any means. Fill this room with your love, peace, and joy. I pray that my child will say, as David did, "I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set nothing wicked before my eyes" (Psalm 103:2 to 3"). I pray that you, Lord, will make this room a holy place sanctified for your glory. In Jesus's name, I pray.” I forgot all about this prayer, and yet I am definitely going to start saying it tomorrow when my boys get on the bus. Actually I will probably start today in the room of my oldest because he will be at work later today. Another suggestion was to fill a spray bottle with holy water and bless your whole house with it. We do this before each prayer group meeting. One of us walks through the hallway and the empty rooms of the building we are using, and we ask the Lord to bless the house. We bind any evil spirits that are hanging out and we send them the foot of the cross. We also ask the Lord to protect the space we are in and to prevent anything that is not of Him from entering while we are using that space. You can do this in your house, and you can do this in your children's homes if they are older and have their own place.You might be wondering why I am suggesting to bless your house with Holy Water. Holy Water is a powerful spiritual armor in times of temptation. St. Teresa of Avila, whose temptations were as terrible as anyone's, has left us these wise words of counsel: “I have found by experience that there is nothing from which the devils fly more quickly than from Holy Water. They also fly from the Cross, but they return almost immediately. Certainly, the power of Holy Water must be great; for my part, my soul feels particular comfort in taking it, and very generally a refreshment and interior delight which I cannot express.” Long before St. Teresa of Avila, Holy Water was a sacramental in the Catholic Church. Water, which as a symbol of purification held a high place in biblical times, has retained its rich symbolism.According to the Apostolic Constitutions, a document dating back well over 15 centuries, the use of holy water is attributed to a recommendation issued by St. Matthew, the apostle and Evangelist. The lives of the saints are packed with instances of heavenly protection and blessing secured through the reverent use of holy water. If you want more information on holy water, just let me know. If you are interested in blessing your house with Holy Water, you can go into any Catholic Church and fill up your spray bottle or any bottle with it. It is free and there for all to use. The next suggestion that I just learned about, so I have not tried it yet, is to pray over our children's pillows. When you are blessing their room, spend a minute praying over their pillow. Pray that the Lord grants them good dreams, speaks to them in their dreams, and encounters them in their dreams. Pray that the Lord protects them from nightmares and any evil thoughts. (SLIDE)Another really important thing that the book talks about that I didn't even think of before is to pray for our children to follow the truth and reject the lies. The enemy is constantly speaking lies over our children. He is whispering in their ears that they are unloved, they are unwanted, they are not enough and so on. We need to pray that they will reject these lies. We need to pray that the Lord will protect their mind from believing these lies. We need to pray that the lies others tell them will not take root. We need to pray that the Lord will fill their mind with who they are in His eyes. We need to pray that the Lord will replace any lies they believe with His truth of who they really are. We also need to pray that they know how much God loves them. Everyone is searching for love these days, and I don't think it is any different for kids. We live in a broken world, so even if we have parents who love us, they aren't always great at showing it, and we aren't always great at accepting it. Kids feel more alone than ever these days; even though we live in a world where kids have constant contact with each other, they don't tend to have meaningful relationships with each other. Also, with all the constant contact that means those who are mean to you also have constant access to you. We need to pray that our kids can feel our love, but more importantly, we need to pray that they feel God's love. God's love is perfect. If they knew how much God loved them, they would have all the love they needed. We can pray that they know no matter what they do, God will always love them. We can pray that they know they don't have to do anything to earn His love; they already have it and will never lose it! Most of the things we have covered so far are geared more towards our younger children who are still living at our house. Now I would like to give you a few ideas of how we can pray for our adult children. I am just entering this stage, so I am new to this. My oldest is an adult, however, he is living at home with us. Many of the things I talked about earlier in this session apply to our adult children as well. Meaning that we can pray for them to know God's love; we can pray God protects their minds from the lies of the enemy and fills them with His truth. You can spray Holy Water and bless their house if they say it is ok or if you are there when they are not home. However, there are some things you can pray over your adult children that you don't necessarily have to do for your young kids.For instance, you can pray over your children's marriages. You can pray that they are loving and caring spouses. You can pray they are faithful and help each other grow closer to the Lord. You can pray that the Lord is part of their marriage. You can pray for specific things that apply to your children. For instance, if your adult child has a bad temper, you can pray they learn to control their temper. You can pray that the Lord fills them with the peace of Christ. When you go over to their house to visit, before walking through the door, you can say a quick prayer imparting peace on them. Dear Lord, I impart peace on this house and all who are in it. If there is a lot of anger, frustration, and so on in this house, you could walk around the outside of the house and just impart peace on the house and all the land around it. God gave Adam dominion over all created things. This means you can pray for peace into their house; you can pray for peace into the soil around the house, and you can impart peace all around their house, inside and out.You can also pray for your adult children's jobs. Pray that they have a job they love, one that lights them up inside. Pray that they have a Godly boss and coworkers who encourage them on their faith journey. If they don't seem to be on any faith journey, pray that they encounter someone at their job who waters the seed you have planted and helps it to take root and bear fruit. You can pray they have a good work ethic.I read an article about praying for our adult children. The author talked about how she used to pray generally for her kids. However, now that she knows the Lord more, she realizes how intimately He cares about every detail of our lives and our children's lives. Here are some of the specific ways we can pray for our adult children, especially if they have fallen away from God.Ask God to show up in their lives in ways they can't deny. Ask Him for big miracles and little miracles, but most of all, ask Him to open your kids' eyes to what He's doing.Ask God to give them peace that isn't natural. In our world today, it seems like everything is stressful—from the price of groceries to going out in public. We are surrounded by news reports that feed our fears. Feeling a sense of peace in the midst of this is supernatural.Ask God to act specifically. If your child has a need, take that need to God on their behalf. Don't prejudge if the request is too small or too large. Give it to God and watch what He can do.Ask God to bless them in an exact way. Are they struggling with finances? Ask God to act. Are they trying for a work promotion? Ask God to work that out.Use Scripture to pray for them. God's Word is powerful. When we pray Bible verses for our children, we can be assured that God is listening.Ask God to show them something. Perhaps they didn't get the work promotion they wanted; ask God to show them why that was a good thing instead of a bad one.Ask God to draw them to Him. We can ask God to make our children so uncomfortable without Him that they'll come running back.The article I read says letting our kids know we are praying for them is just as important as actually praying for them. The author states that it is important to be specific in letting them know how we are praying for them. Here is what the author said: Tell them you're praying for an exact answer to something they've shared. Perhaps they're worried about car repairs. Share that you'll be asking God to provide all they need. By being specific, we've primed them to notice a specific answer.Share with them that every morning you pray for their safety. When we let them know when and what we're praying it makes our prayers more real to them. This is also a great way to model the fact that you spend time with God every morning.Point out the answers to the things you've asked God for on their behalf. When your child shares that they received something you've prayed for, point it out. It's not important to make a big deal about the answers, just mentioning how we've seen God work is enough. The impact comes when we do this consistently. As our adult children see God answering our requests regularly it can be life-changing. In addition, by letting them know we were praying for that exact answer, we show them how God answers prayers.Share specific verses from the Bible that you've been praying. If you've been praying for God to make your child's next steps obvious and the Bible verse you've been praying is, “In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:6, share that with them.Ask your adult children how you can pray for them. As they see the power that comes from spending time with God in prayer, they will often begin to open the spiritual door wider. When that happens, we can ask for ways they'd like us to pray for them.It is hard to see our adult children heading down the wrong path. Sometimes we can get discouraged and feel helpless. We can say things like, “All I can do now is pray.” Prayer is more powerful than anything else you were doing on your own. Prayer is the most powerful thing you can do. Once you enlist the help of God, you no longer have to worry because He is in control, and He will make sure they end up on the straight and narrow eventually. It is all in God's time, not our own. God's ways are not like our ways, and his thoughts are not like our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8)I have noticed more change in my boys once I started to stop nagging them all the time and worrying about them all the time and started praying more and going to God with my fears. Nagging will not change our children. Telling them what they are doing is wrong will also not change our children. I did not see real changes in my kids' behaviors until I started leading more with love and prayers. When I could see they were acting out, I stopped punishing them so much and started loving them more. I came alongside them and let them know I understood how they were feeling. I let them know what they did was wrong and yet they are still good kids. I loved them no matter what they did. If they were doing things that scared me or I started to worry, I would bring it to God and pray about it. He would always calm my fears and assure me that all would be ok. You can do this too.I know you are sure you know what is best for your children, just as I am sure I know best for mine. However, the truth is that only God knows what is best. Often times we let our fears get in the way of what we want for our kids. For instance, we don't want them playing video games because it won't lead to anything, and yet God could be using that gift your child has to invent the next best-selling video game. You think he or she is wasting time and yet God is preparing him or her in the same way He is preparing you for your destiny. Turn your kids over to the Lord. Give Him your worries. When you are afraid your kids are making a mistake, bring it to God first. If he wants you to bring it to their attention, He will let you know. If He doesn't, then He will let you know that too. Take the time to stop and turn to God first. I bet if you do this one small thing you will see your relationships begin to change. I bet your kids will start to seek you out for advice because you listen to them and because you aren't nagging them. God will prepare their hearts to hear what you have to say if He wants you to say it. He will also tell you how to say it if you ask Him.

Transitioning through the death zone requires careful execution and a focus on profitability. The $3 million dollar mark is a critical milestone for businesses, and many struggle to push through it. In this episode, Dan talks to Greg Crabtree, author of Simple Numbers, Straight Talk, Big Profits! about how founders can push through the death zone (otherwise known as the messy middle) and grow their profit far beyond that $3M mark. Some of the common mistakes made by founders include not understanding profit truth, not investing in finance and accounting, and not effectively managing labor efficiency.

When our policy doesn't protect us, we need to take on more responsibility in our aim to stay healthy. With the US allowing its youth to fall prey to predatory marketing and selling tactics by a company with a critically damaging product, we're now enduring the need to protect our own kids and future. Luckily, we have Meredith Berkman, a co-founder of Parents Against Vaping e-cigarettes, or PAVe, her to help us do exactly that: to pave the way to protecting our young peoples' health and wellbeing as the powers that be haven't done so. Even if you don't have a young person you're close to, this story hits home hard on our need to be alert and agile consumers and citizens.

In this episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, we discuss how the purpose of helping others started them in their original careers (ministry and psychiatry, respectively), and how they continue following that purpose through the practice of thought leadership. Ryan shares how he spent 20 years in ministry focused on community, and how he found his purpose in helping people find a sense of purpose in their everyday lives. Mark comes from a background of psychiatry, and after his own brush with depression while in med school, rose to specializing in suicide prevention so that he could help others discover hope and meaning in their lives. Our guests have traveled parallel paths, helping others live happier and healthier lives through their work. Now, they're bringing those insights about hope and meaning to the corporate sphere. We learn how Ryan built a Culture of Good and how that philosophy gets companies to create a meaningful and fulfilling workplace that also improves the bottom line. Mark works with executives and leaders, teaching them to carve away the negative aspects that create a culture of mistrust, fear, or hopelessness at an organization, and build trust and purpose into the everyday life of the org. Our guests today provide actionable advice on how you can change the culture of your company and employees, and live a more meaningful life — starting today! Three Key Takeaways: Every leader — from thought leaders to the organizational C-Suite — needs to be authentic, caring, and purposeful, and strive to be the type of person others want to follow. Keeping a journal of thought and ideas can build a deeper understanding of everyday insights, and might even create the basis for your thought leadership! Doing good and making money doesn't have to be at odds. A profitable business can use its strength to create and fulfill a meaningful purpose.
