What does it mean to be clothed in the armor of light? The light of God's armor doesn't just expose the darkness - it expels it. In Episode 6 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff teaches one of the most vivid and practical pictures of spiritual warfare found in Scripture from Romans 13. Spiritual warfare is not fought through human strength, anger, or carnal weapons. It begins by casting off the works of darkness, putting on the Lord Jesus Christ, and learning to walk after the Spirit rather than the flesh. Our good works, integrity, love, and telling the truth are not passive virtues - they are our spiritual weapons. They penetrate the darkness by exposing it and ultimately expel it. The parallel drawn between putting on Christ and putting on the armor of light reminds us that spiritual warfare is not primarily about confronting external enemies but about the daily choice to walk after the Spirit rather than the flesh. Discover why the true battlefield is for the souls of men and how the gospel turns people from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. This is the good fight: standing firm in truth, walking in love, and letting the light of Jesus shine through our lives.

How can evil still prevail when Jesus stripped the devil, defeated the devil, and absolutely destroyed his power over us? Satan cannot devour believers unless they submit to him, and that submission often happens subtly through our thoughts and beliefs. When we exalt a philosophy, argument, or tradition above the Word of God, we are giving the enemy building materials for a stronghold.In Episode 5 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff reveals how strongholds are formed in the mind and how they can be torn down through the spiritual weapons God has provided. The battle is not fought with physical weapons. It takes place in our minds, homes, finances, relationships, and every area where we allow a secular worldview to oppose the truth of Scripture.Believers do not have to remain defeated by a defeated devil. Victory requires us to cast down arguments, take every thought captive, and make it obedient to Christ. Discover how to recognize strongholds, replace lies with truth, and stand firm in the good fight of faith.

What if one of the greatest obstacles to spiritual victory is fighting the wrong enemy? We waste our energy fighting the people around us, our circumstances, and even God, while the real battle remains hidden.In Episode 4 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff reveals that believers must identify the correct enemy, engage in the right battle, and use the spiritual weapons God has provided. Many Christians are losing unnecessary ground because they are unaware of the conflict, fighting against flesh and blood, or still living as though God is their adversary. God is not against us. He is the source of our strength and victory.The weapons of our warfare are not natural or carnal; they are mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments, and bringing every thought into obedience to Christ. These strongholds are false beliefs, philosophies, opinions, and ways of thinking that exalt themselves above God's Word. When lies are accepted and left unchallenged, they become fortresses where the enemy finds refuge.Discover how the Word of God exposes deception, dismantles strongholds, and sets people free. God has equipped you to engage in the battle rather than remain a passive casualty. Learn to stand against evil, resist the enemy, and fight the right battle with the right weapons.

(inform, inspire, & transform)You can find Bruce via his website brucebabashan.comAs the creator of Meet The Moment™, Bruce challenges one of the most common assumptions in leadership—that organizations succeed simply by developing exceptional leaders. His work argues that while leadership development is essential, it is only part of the equation. The organizations that consistently perform at the highest level also prepare for the reality that every leader is human. Drawing on experience in executive leadership, organizational assessment, and high-stakes decision environments, Bruce helps audiences understand why judgment, communication, and decision-making can change as complexity, uncertainty, and pressure increase—and why organizations should anticipate those moments rather than simply react to them. Instead of asking how leaders can become tougher or more resilient, Bruce introduces a practical framework for building leadership support systems that help preserve sound decisions, clear communication, and organizational performance when the stakes are highest. Bruce, thanks for sharing your many gifts and talents with people all over the world, thanks for continuing to grow as a leader, and thanks for being our guest on Life's Essential Ingredients…welcome to the show!TOTD – “As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few.

What if the greatest battle we face every day is one most of us never recognize we are in? "You entered a battlefield when you became born again." The Christian life is an ongoing spiritual conflict that requires us to understand our enemy, our weapons, our authority, and our source of strength.In Episode 3 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff teaches that the fight is real, but so is the victory already declared over us through faith in Jesus Christ. Believers must first submit to God and then actively resist the devil, steadfast in faith. To resist means to oppose, withstand, and refuse to back down when Satan attacks our confidence in God's goodness, love, faithfulness, and power.This battle is not against flesh and blood, nor is it won through self-effort, pride, or natural ability. Pride opens the door to satanic influence, while humility positions us to receive God's empowering grace. Humility is not weakness. It's the strategic posture of a wise soldier. As we yield to God and put on His whole armor, we are empowered to withstand every assault, stand our ground, and fight from the victory Christ has already won.

There is a battle being fought all around us, and whether we realize it or not, every one of us is in the middle of it. If you are a believer, you are under constant assault from the forces of darkness. In Episode 1 of "The Good Fight", Duane Sheriff explains why tribulation, persecution, and hardship often arise when believers choose to live under the rule and reign of Jesus.Tribulation and hardship are not random. They are a direct result of the kingdom of God living inside of us. In Acts 14, the Apostle Paul was stoned and left for dead, yet returned to strengthen the believers who watched it happen and encourage them to continue in the faith. Tribulation is not evidence that God has abandoned us, but a part of the spiritual resistance that accompanies lives fully surrendered to Christ.Jesus promised that we would face tribulation in this world, but He also assured us that He has overcome it. As a result, faith cannot remain passive. It must be active, steadfast, and prepared to resist the opposition that comes. The question is whether we are prepared to pay the cost. Discover how to endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, stand firm against spiritual opposition, and fight the right fight, the right way, from a position of victory rather than defeat.

“There is a battle raging whether you engage or not.” In Episode 1 of "The Good Fight," Duane Sheriff introduces the reality of spiritual warfare and explains why the Christian life was never meant to be passive. Many believers are ill-equipped, unprepared, or even unaware of the battles raging against their families, churches, and faith.Spiritual warfare is real, but our authority in Christ is greater. Most believers will either overestimate the devil and become demon-focused or underestimate the enemy and become needless casualties. Our battle is not against God, flesh and blood, or one another. It is a spiritual fight that requires spiritual weapons and active, aggressive faith.What makes this a good fight? Through Christ, believers have already been declared winners. We do not fight to obtain victory through our own effort, but from the victory Jesus has already secured by grace. Discover how to recognize the true battle, fight the right enemy, and lay hold of everything Christ has provided.

2 Timothy 4:7–8 | Funeral Sermon for William “Bill” SchmidtIn this funeral sermon for William “Bill” Schmidt, Pastor Rojas reflects on St. Paul's words: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” Bill's family knew him as a fighter. He endured hardship, sacrificed for his family, and through it all held fast to Christ.But Bill's fight wasn't what saved him. Jesus fought the greater fight. He faced sin, death, and the devil, went all the way to the cross, and shed His blood for our forgiveness. We hold onto Christ only because Christ first laid hold of us.That truth became especially visible in Bill's final days. Even as dementia took away memories and words, he could still pray the Lord's Prayer. And when his family came to him, they found him clutching a crucifix so tightly that it had left an imprint in his hand. His hand held the crucifix because his heart held the Crucified One. More importantly, Christ was holding him.Now Bill's fight is finished. Faith has become sight. Hope has become fulfillment. He rests with Christ, awaiting the resurrection of the body and the crown of righteousness promised to all who love Christ's appearing.Subscribe & Share if this sermon strengthened your faith.

Send us Fan Mail  In today's episode, we discuss how Paul encouraged all believers to “fight the good fight of faith” and to “lay hold on eternal life.” Paul emphasized that this struggle is spiritual, because it is to preserve the faith. Timothy is charged “in the sight of God” to keep his confession “without spot, unrebukeable” until Christ's appearing. Paul then Jesus as the only Potentate and the King of kings. He is the one alone who possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, worthy of all honor and power… we invite you to come study God's Word with us today!

Welcome to episode #1046 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Dr. Liane Davey has spent her career helping leaders and teams perform at their best. As an organizational psychologist, bestselling author,  trusted advisor to companies around the world and dear friend, she has long explored what separates high-performing teams from those that quietly struggle beneath the surface. Her latest book, Thoughtload - Manage The Madness And Free Your Team To Do Great Work, introduces a deceptively simple but powerful idea: the biggest challenge facing today's organizations isn't workload... it's thoughtload. While most leaders focus on reducing tasks and increasing productivity, Liane argues that the real drain on performance comes from the invisible cognitive, emotional, and energetic burden people carry every day. In this conversation, we explore why organizations have become obsessed with measuring outputs instead of outcomes, how constant urgency creates the illusion of productivity while undermining effectiveness, and why many of today's workplace frustrations... from endless meetings to return-to-office debates to AI-generated "work slop"... are symptoms of a much deeper problem. We also discuss what thoughtful leadership looks like in an era of intelligent machines, why collaboration breaks down when people are cognitively overloaded, and how AI might eventually become a tool for reducing thoughtload rather than amplifying it. More than a conversation about burnout or workplace wellness, this is a discussion about attention, focus, judgment, and what it will take to build organizations where people can once again do their very best work. Liane is also the author of You First and The Good Fight and have been a guest of this show countless times. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 51:58. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

Before his role on Apple TV+'s hit comedy "Shrinking," Michael Urie was a native Texan active in Speech & Drama all through high school. He trained in theatre studies at Collin County Community College before being accepted at the Juilliard School, where he was the recipient of the John Houseman prize for excellence in classical theater. In 2006, Urie joined the cast of ABC's dramedy UGLY BETTY, appearing as Marc St. James, the assistant of Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams). Twice he and the cast were nominated for Screen Actors Guild awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Urie has also appeared regularly on other hit shows such as YOUNGER, PARTNERS, THE GOOD WIFE, and THE GOOD FIGHT. He's returned often to his theater roots, making a Broadway debut in the second revival of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING. His performance in the one-man show BUYER & CELLAR won him a Clarence Derwent Award and Drama Desk Award. Additional theater credits include TORCH SONG on Broadway, THE TEMPERAMENTALS, and HAMLET with the Shakespeare Theatre Company.

In this episode, Lukie and (Jason) Lagendorf talk about the return of Errol Spence Jr., who faces Tim Tszyu in Australia on pay-per-view. Three years ago, this would have been massive; now it just is what it is. A solid fight, but a lot of lingering “What ifs?” Does Spence still have it? (He hasn't fought since the Terence Crawford fight)Can Tszyu absorb punishment from a high-level fighter? The answers we don't know.An undercard bout with Jermall Charlo is now off, as he couldn't obtain a visa. Stephen Fulton's official lightweight debut against Liam Wilson will serve as the co-feature, with Australian talent rounding out the rest of the card. Then, we have two high-profile names back in action.Tyson Fury will fight Mariusz Wach in Thailand. As of now, I don't think they have announced how to watch it. Also, on pay-per-view, Anthony Joshua is facing Kristian Prenga. Is it safe to say Joshua is in the unserious part of his career? The pay-per-view card is shockingly thin. WBO super middleweight champ Hamzah Sheeraz will face Simon Zachenhuber. Zachenhuber lost to Pawel August on the previous Fury fight card, but August is buried on the undercard facing Jacob Bank, the man who stopped William Scull. Make it make sense. IBF welterweight champ Josh Kelly returns against Caoimhin Agyarko, which is a good fight, and Ukrainian Olympic gold medalist Oleksandr Khyzhniak will fight. He is more Serhii Bohachuk than he is Lomachenko. Nishant Dev is always a nice treat to see on a card as well. Also, on Sunday at Zuffa Boxing, Edgar Berlanga will make his promotional debut against Steven Butler. Richardson Hitchins will face Ricardo Salas, not an easy debut, and middleweight Sergiy Derevyanchenko will open the main telecast against Jalil Hackett. The undercard is solid with Otto Wallin facing Vladyslav Sirenko, and the promotional debut of Dominique Francis. A good 50-50 fight between Arnold Gonzalez and Emiliano Moreno, and as always, featherweight Troy Nash Jr is must-see TV as he faces unbeaten Ethan Perez.This week, we saw Diego Pacheco stop Immanuwel Aleem. Now, we ask more questions… For my mailbag, I was asked if Pacheco looked different than when he fought Trevor McCumby. Lazily, I will ask Dakota. Buddy McGirt now trains Pacheco; did we see a difference? People seem divided on Pacheco – can we make sense of it all?Also on the undercard, Andy Cruz stopped Abraham Montoya in three rounds and appears headed to the junior lightweight division. Featherweight Albert Gonzalez stopped Aaron Alameda in two rounds. WOW! Also, Bruno Rios and Saul Sanchez had a classic that might get forgotten. You can visit The Good Fight here: http://TheGoodFight12.Substack.comTimestamps0:00 intro and thoughts on The Good Fight11:15 Too many pay-per-views ( Joshua and Spence vs. Tszyu)17:35 Spence vs. Tszyu30:32 Joshua and Tyson Fury fight previews37:24 Why I am mad for Pawel August 46:40 Thoughts on Diego Pacheco59:50 Bruno Rios vs. Saul Sanchez 01:03:50 Zuffa Boxing thoughts01:20:08 Andy Ruiz releases a rap song

On Sunday, July 19, 2026 Brother Darrell Mercer brought the message "The Good Fight for The True Faith" to the congregation at Faith Fellowship Church. Be blessed as you enjoy this encouraging message.

Francis Fukuyama, Linda Chavez, and Rachel Janfaza join Yascha Mounk to discuss what a radical liberal agenda might look like today. In this week's episode of The Good Fight Club, Yascha Mounk, Francis Fukuyama, Linda Chavez, and Rachel Janfaza explore whether Gen Z's political instincts are genuinely liberal, what a renewed liberalism needs to reclaim from the republican tradition, and how to rebuild a culture of public-spiritedness in an age of anti-establishment politics.  Francis Fukuyama is the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University and the founder of American Purpose. His latest book is Liberalism and Its Discontents. Linda Chavez is the Vice Chair of the Renew Democracy Initiative, founded by Garry Kasparov. She previously served in the Reagan administration and has been a syndicated columnist and political commentator for decades. Rachel Janfaza is the founder of Up and Up, where she researches and writes about the political beliefs and cultural attitudes of Gen Z. This conversation was recorded at the Liberalism for the 21st Century conference in Washington, D.C., which is organized by the Institute for the Study of Modern Authoritarianism.

In this message from 2 Timothy 4, Pastor Kirt Anderson unpacks Paul's final charge to Timothy to "preach the word" no matter the cost. Drawing on his seminary training under theologian Bruce Metzger and the Barmen Declaration written in 1930s Germany, Pastor Kirt asks what it looks like for the church to stay faithful to Scripture when culture pushes toward compromise, and why we should ask why a fence is there before we tear it down.Pastor Kirt closes by turning to Paul's own words near the end of his life: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." He reminds us that our hardest battle for faithfulness isn't found out in the culture around us, it starts within our own hearts. Join us as we consider what it means to fight the good fight today.

Before we begin, please visit The Good Fight (http://thegoodfight12.substack.com). It is an independent boxing collective that is worth reading. Oh, and I am involved.(2:00) We begin with Austin Trout, the former junior middleweight titleholder, who defeated Miguel Cotto and fought Canelo Alvarez. We reflect on his boxing career while talking about his fight on BKFC Friday against Benjamin Bonner for the vacant lightweight title. Trout has strong opinions about boxing; let them be known. (19:50) In the second half of the show, we are joined by Adrian Clark, the manager of many top boxers. We touch on the Edwin De Los Santos stoppage loss to Jose Valenzuela. The issues that arise from it. Then, we talk about what is next for Brian Norman Jr., Frank Martin, Justin Pauldo, as well as other fighters he works with.

A @Christadelphians Video: In this **thought-provoking** and **insightful** exposition, we delve into Paul's urgent charge to Timothy from 1 Timothy 6. What does it mean to “keep the commandment without spot” until Christ's appearing? This **outstanding** and **revealing** study challenges us to flee worldly distractions and passionately pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and meekness. Join us as we uncover the **wonderful** secret of godliness – Christ himself – and discover how his faithful confession before Pilate and God's power to raise the dead become our guarantee of hope. A truly **inspiring** message for every believer seeking to run the race with purpose.**Chapters** 00:00 – Introduction: Refocusing Through the Memorial Meeting 01:50 – The Charge to Timothy (1 Timothy 6:13-14) 03:15 – Why Was This Epistle Written?

At some point in almost every woman's health journey, the difficulty of the process starts to feel like evidence that something has gone wrong. Like the struggle itself is a sign she's not cut out for this, or that it shouldn't be this hard, or that other women have it figured out in ways she doesn't. I want to gently, firmly challenge that story. I make the case that struggle is not the obstacle to growth. It is the mechanism of growth. The discomfort of changing deeply ingrained patterns, of learning to treat yourself differently, of rebuilding trust with your own body — that discomfort means something is actually happening. Something real. This episode is for the woman who is in the middle of the hard part and wondering if it's worth it. It is. The only way out is through. And the through changes you in ways the easy path never could. Want to keep going?

PASTOR CLAUDE STAUFFER Mary welcomes back Pastor Claude Stauffer to talk about the importance of being a dad of integrity. What is usually the message on our greeting cards and in our Fathers’ Day sermons? We can’t say because we probably don’t remember. But when it comes to biblical exhortation for dads, Jesus always brings it down to the heart of the matter – taking up our cross and following Him and seeking the kingdom, because then everything else falls into place. But that cross – that is where everything becomes clear. What is parenting if not a cross, where we die to ourselves and lay down our lives for little people who may never love us in return, or run off without even so much as a thank you? Once that baby is brought home, we are instantly brought low and in need of trusting in God. We talk today about integrity, keeping our word, being providers, loving our spouses, handling tough times, and standing for truth. All things our children need to see in us to best model the heart of God.       Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Liane Davey: Thoughtload For the past 25 years, Liane Davey has researched and advised teams on how to achieve high performance. She is the author of You First and The Good Fight and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. She is the author of the new book Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work (Amazon, Bookshop)*. We all love to hate our task lists. However, we can do a lot better with just a bit of strategy. In this conversation, Liane and I explore how to make our task list work for us instead of against us. Key Points Often it's not really the workload that's crushing – it's more so the thinking about all the workload. That's what thoughtload is. The problem with a to-do list is that everything goes on it. Thus, to-do lists are terrible for managing your attention. Instead of one task list, keep a limited amount of tasks on three priority lists. Category 1 list: your most important outputs and outcomes. Category 2 list: what you do to help others achieve their most significant outcomes. Category 3 list: administrative stuff. Four questions determine what gets on your lists: Important (an activity that will add value to a key output or outcome)? Urgent (something with growing negative consequences if you wait)? Targeted (a task that no one can do as efficiently or effectively as you)? Essential (core to creating the critical value, not just a nice-to-have)?

What if most of our defeats happen before we ever start the fight — because we couldn't see the outcome? Graham Cooke opens a new arc on the anatomy of a good fight, walking us through the three areas of our lives that have to align with God's intentionality: perception, mindset, and language. Discover why intimacy is the most intimidating thing we bring into any battle, and why worship is our weapon against the enemy's first tactic.Key Scriptures:+ 1 Timothy 6:12. "Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses." + 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard... God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." + 1 Samuel 17:45. "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts." + Psalm 22:3. "Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel."

Burnout in Canadian workplaces is reaching critical levels. As of early 2026, nearly 62% of workers report feeling burned out—up sharply from 47% in 2024—putting both retention and productivity at risk. At the same time, while 68% of employees say their workplace feels psychologically safe, nearly a quarter disagree, and 70% express concern about their overall psychological well-being on the job, according to Mental Health Research Canada. In this episode, we explore the hidden weight behind these numbers—the part of work that isn't captured in job descriptions or performance metrics. Because the hardest part of work isn't the work itself—it's the conversations people avoid, the assumptions they carry, and the cognitive and emotional strain that makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Joining us is Dr. Liane Davey, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Fight and You First, organizational psychologist, and co-founder of 3COze Inc. Known as “The Teamwork Doctor,” Liane works with leaders and teams across industries—from Amazon and Walmart to TD Bank and Sony PlayStation—helping them navigate what she calls “thoughtload”: the mental and emotional burden that often exhausts people more than the work itself. Together, we unpack how thoughtload contributes to burnout, why productive conflict is essential for healthy teams, and how leaders can balance accountability with empathy in an era of constant change. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to build stronger, more resilient teams while protecting their well-being in today's demanding work environment.
