Life can feel heavy and faith can get hard. The book of Hebrews was written to people who were tired, discouraged, and thinking about walking away from God. When life entices us to drift, we need an anchor for our souls. Whether you're feeling stuck, searching for answers, or just need some hope, this summer journey through Hebrews will help you fix your eyes on Jesus, the one who started your faith and the one who will carry you through. Listen to more from Pastor Jared.  Also, we highly encourage you to download the Church Center App if you want more information about the church. The app will be able to guide you toward our Calendar of Events, ways to Give, and fill out a Connect Card. 

What if the best way to build a high-performing team wasn't through perks or policies, but by telling people the truth? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, HR consultant, speaker, author, and former Netflix Chief Talent Officer Patty McCord joins Michael Mogill to challenge conventional HR thinking and offer a candid take on what truly drives culture, leadership, and high performance. With decades of experience shaping iconic teams in Silicon Valley, Patty unpacks how honesty, accountability, and experimentation can redefine what it means to build a workplace people are proud to be from, not just at. Here's what you'll learn: Why retention is the wrong metric for building great teams — and what matters instead How “telling the truth up front” can eliminate legal issues, improve culture, and drive results What it takes to create a company where high performers thrive and mediocrity doesn't survive If you're ready to ditch outdated practices, build a team of adults who own their impact, and lead with context instead of control, this episode is your blueprint. ---- Show Notes: 00:00 – Introduction: Patty's Unconventional Path into HR 05:06 – The Call That Changed Everything: Joining Netflix at 2 AM 06:40 – Reinventing Work: Cutting What Doesn't Matter 08:06 – Creating a Great Place to Be From 12:00 – Building High-Performance Teams with Radical Clarity 17:18 – Problem Solvers vs. Problem Finders 20:14 – Giving Feedback That Drives Growth 27:11 – Metrics That Matter: P&L Over Perks 34:12 – Preparing for the Future: Do You Have the Right Team? 37:04 – Stop Empowering: Teach How the Business Works 38:29 – The Future of Work Is Now 40:15 – Redefining Leadership Through Context 41:22 – Final Thoughts: Stop Doing Stupid Stuff ---- Links & Resources: Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility by Patty McCord How Netflix Reinvented HR, HBR Article by Patty McCord Netflix Culture Deck “Google Ideological Echo Chamber” memo by James Damore ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Patrick Mollet hat nicht den Masterplan verfolgt, aber viele mutige Entscheidungen getroffen. Er gründete 2001 eine Plattform für Studierende, monetarisierte früh mit Werbung, überstand Marktveränderungen, gründete eine Agentur und später ein Start-up im Bereich Social Media Recruiting. 2016 folgte der Exit an Xing. Doch statt sich zur Ruhe zu setzen, investierte Patrick in sinngetriebene Projekte: Er war zwei Staffeln Investor bei „Die Höhle der Löwen Schweiz“, engagierte sich in der Start-up-Szene und stieg schrittweise operativ bei Great Place to Work Switzerland ein, wo er heute Mitinhaber und Consultant ist.

Acts 16:6-15They went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. When they had come opposite Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them; so, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of Macedonia pleading with him and saying, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.' When he had seen the vision, we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good news to them.We set sail from Troas and took a straight course to Samothrace, the following day to Neapolis, and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district* of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city for some days. On the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had gathered there. A certain woman named Lydia, a worshipper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul. When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, ‘If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my home.' And she prevailed upon us. This weekend kicks off not only the start of summer for so many, but it also serves as the unofficial beginning of graduation season. In the office this week, I asked the question: what gift should you get a graduate? I told them about a friend's mom who would give monogrammed towels as her graduate gift. +Mark and Amanda informed me that I should not pick up that tradition. Money was the consensus, just get a card with some cash. I don't disagree, but I am warning you graduates now, I can almost guarantee that someone will give out a copy of the Dr. Suess classic, “Oh The Places You'll Go”. And it is a fitting tribute for the occasion:“ Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the person who'll decide where to go.”It is a remarkable feeling, no? To be on the precipice of what comes next and then to set off on the journey. It is so exciting, perhaps a little frightening, if not for you, then for your parents or grandparents and other loved ones. Timothy likely felt this same way when he began his journey with Paul and Silas. In our text, the “they” we hear is in reference to those three Paul, Silas, and Timothy, maybe more. Timothy just joined the group. In the passage immediately before this, Paul and Silas stop in Lystra, where they hear about this young disciple named Timothy. Among believers in Lystra, Timothy is well spoken of. So Paul asks Timothy to join him on this mission. Timothy probably thought “oh the place I'll go”. And go they did, from town to town, the churches were growing, everything was great!That is until they came to Phrygia. Paul and crew want to go to Asia. They think, “that's where God is calling us to proclaim the Gospel. So that must be the right place for us.” So they went to turn left and head to Asia, but the Holy Spirit forbade them to go. That's strange… why would the Holy Spirit not let me go? And what does that even mean? Did a giant wind push against them every time they tried to turn left? Did their compass only point them east? However it happened, they couldn't go into Asia. So the crew thinks well what do you do when you can't turn left… you go right! And so they try to turn right and go to Bithynia, but the Holy Spirit doesn't allow that either. With no other options left, they go to Troas.If you are Timothy, you've got to wonder what went wrong? Everything was so good? We were going to all these places, the church was growing, we had a great plan! But just when everything seemed great, suddenly it wasn't anymore. Graduates, this will undoubtedly happen to you. Surely everyone gathered has had a time like that: when everything seemed to be going great, you thought you were doing what God wanted you to do, but suddenly your plans changed (or they were changed for you), and the roads you wanted to take became blocked. Maybe the major you'd hope for didn't work out. Or you didn't get that job you thought you always wanted or were let go of the job you loved. Maybe that relationship you never thought would end came to a close. Or an unexpected trip to the doctor makes you put everything on hold. Despite your best efforts you ended up in a place you never wanted to be. We've all been there. As Dr Suess says: “I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you. You can get all hung up, in a prickle-ly perch. And your gang will fly on. You'll be left in a Lurch. You'll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you'll be in a Slump. And when you're in a Slump, you're not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.Yet, it is at those places you never wanted to be, in the times you least expect, that something will happen or someone will come and help and get you unslumped. For Timothy and crew their unslumping came from a vision that Paul had while in Troas: a man saying “Come to Macedonia and help us.” The three of them got up and immediately headed to Macedonia, “convinced that God had called them to proclaim the good news there”.They set sail from Troas, landed in Samothrace, and then came ashore at Neapolis. Neapolis is this wonderful little seaside town, the kind of place you want to land in, and maybe put down some roots; enjoy the sandy beaches and nice weather. I could imagine Timothy saying to Paul and Silas, “we don't really need to follow that vision, that dream, that call, right?” But Paul and his companions don't stop and stay there. It's nice, but they know it's not where they are supposed to be. You'll have your own Neapolis too, places and opportunities that seem really nice, the city or job or relationship you could see yourself in. And the temptation to stay will be strong, yet you'll know it's not right. Heed the voice, the vision, the calling God has placed on you. There will be a reason you move on, even if it is not clear in the moment.Finally Paul, Timothy, and Silas land in Philippi, even though that was not the original goal. Remember Paul wanted to spread the Gospel and grow the church in Asia. But listen to how this part of Paul's mission ends. On the sabbath they all go to the river, hoping to find people praying. They join a group of women and among them is Lydia, likely a wealthy business woman with great influence. She listened eagerly to Paul, had herself and her whole family baptized, and then opened her home to Paul and Timothy and Silas. Lydia is from Thyatria, which is in Asia, the very place Paul hoped to spread the gospel in the first place. Through all the travels, the wrong turns, and the change of plans, Paul does in fact fulfill his mission of growing the church in Asia, just not where and how he expected too.Despite our best efforts, God's calling and leading come through mistaken directions and failed attempts, which can certainly be frustrating and make discernment difficult.We'd like to think “we are the one's who decide where to go”. As Dr/ Seuss puts it. But that's where he's wrong. As Paul, Timothy and Silas attest, it is an illusion to think it's all up to us. God is in charge of the journey you're on. At times, it won't look the way you want or lead to the places you'd hoped. But thankfully Jesus promises us an Advocate, the Holy Spirit, that helps us in discernment and guides us to where we need to go, what we need to do, and who we should meet along the way. For Paul and Timothy, the journey nor the destination were likely what the team imagined. The wandering, the rejection, the vision in a dream, and the people they met. They did not expect a woman, that wasnt what the vision showed. Yet, in the end God's will was done, not their own, which is what we all pray for.Graduates/young people, it's okay if your journey in life looks like this. Parents/grandparents, it's okay if your young person's journey looks like this. God is still at work in the mess of it all. The reality for not just graduates but for all of us is our own journeys will be less like us deciding the places we go, and more like the wanderings of Paul and the rest: ending up in places we didn't expect, receiving direction in ways we didn't anticipate, and meeting people we never predicted, but trusting that God is still leading.“Plans are made. Plans come apart.” Says Kate Bowler, “New delights or tragedies pop up in their place. And nothing human or divine will map out this life, this life that has been more painful than I could have imagined. More beautiful than I could have imagined.”Amen.

There are a lot of places to find dark skies in Oregon, but relatively few that are set up to let you gaze deeply into the cosmos. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to Paul Poncy, observatory manager at the Sunriver Nature Center and Observatory in central Oregon, which is one of the state's best places to go stargazing. Aside from the dark skies, the observatory also has several telescopes and good educational programming, all found in the vacation town of Sunriver, just south of Bend. It's a good destination for anyone interested in space, or an add-on activity for those in the area. Here are some highlights from this week's show: Protecting dark skies is important for the people, plants and animals of central Oregon. How astrotourism has brought more people to Sunriver. What can visitors see through the observatory's telescopes? What's the deal with Sunriver's defunct dark sky designation?

On this episode of the Customers First Podcast, I engage in a deeply insightful conversation with Jaime Raul Zepeda, a Workplace Culture Architect and Executive Leader. Jaime brings a wealth of experience in enhancing employee engagement and cultivating high-performance environments. We delve into the connection between cultivating a people-first culture and driving business success, exploring how organizations can maximize their potential through strategic people-centric practices.   Jaime shares his journey into this field, sparked by a transformative reading of Dan Pink's "Drive." He emphasizes the importance of making work a fulfilling experience since we spend more time there than anywhere else. We discuss the domino effect of workplace culture on overall happiness and fulfillment, affecting employees and their subsequent interactions in their personal lives. Jaime's passion for fostering environments where people thrive radiates as he outlines his experiences at notable organizations like Great Place to Work and LinkedIn, which ultimately led to his current role in Best Companies Group.   We shift our focus to what a redesigned employee experience could look like. Jaime passionately advocates for a holistic view encompassing the triple bottom line: people, profit, and planet. He challenges leaders to remember that focusing solely on profit can lead to disengagement and high turnover rates. Instead, he asserts the importance of feeding the people within the organization to maintain engagement and commitment. Citing the importance of dignity and fairness, Jaime insists that leaders must prioritize their people's fulfillment to excel in business truly.   Throughout our conversation, we explored the misconception that employee happiness is synonymous with engagement. Jaime argues for a deeper understanding of growth and fulfillment, emphasizing that real challenges, rather than mere perks, lead to meaningful employee commitment. He invites leaders to invest thoughtfully in their people, fostering growth that stimulates pride and mastery rather than temporary satisfaction.   We further examine how organizations can cater to diverse employee motivations by distinguishing between those who seek rapid career advancement and those who prefer steady growth. Jaime explains the importance of personalized development paths tailored to the individual's desires and goals, reinforcing that genuine growth leads to a stronger organizational culture.   Jaime and I tackle the common pitfall of senior leaders focusing too heavily on top performers while neglecting the rest of their teams. He encourages a balanced approach to leadership that equally values all employees, asserting that fostering a culture conducive to everyone's development will fortify the organization against future challenges.   As we conclude, Jaime reminds us of the integral link between employee satisfaction and customer loyalty. He encourages leaders to actively engage with their teams to understand their needs and expectations better. Our discussion leaves listeners with a powerful reminder that adopting a people-first mentality is not just a feel-good approach but a strategic imperative leading to increased organizational success. Jaime's insights are invaluable for any leader looking to create a thriving workplace culture that sparks employee engagement and customer loyalty.   Jaime's Contact Information: LinkedIn: @jaimezepeda Website: https://jaimeraulzepeda.com   Tacey's Contact Information: Website: taceyatkinson.com All Socials: @TaceyAtkinson    Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to having more valuable conversations together in the future.

Wir wurden bei "Great Place to Work" ausgezeichnet – und darauf bin ich wirklich stolz. Denn diese Auszeichnung ist nicht nur irgendein Titel, sondern das Ergebnis jahrelanger Arbeit an uns selbst, an unserem Team und an unserer Unternehmenskultur. In dieser Folge teile ich 5 konkrete Tipps, wie auch du mit deinem Unternehmen zu einem der besten Arbeitgeber Deutschlands wirst – und nicht nur auf dem Papier, sondern in der Realität.

Brian K. Reaves is the EVP and Chief Belonging, Equity, and Impact Officer of UKG, where he leads the company's global belonging, equity, and impact program, expanding existing initiatives while working to strengthen a culture built on trust, fairness, and equality, so every U Krewer can thrive in every stage of their career.  In this episode of the Allyship in Action podcast, we dive deep into the power of employee resource groups (ERGs) and how they're not just a "nice to have," but a "must-have" for any company serious about thriving. Brian's work at UKG shows us the power of inclusion work and ERGs on business impact. Here are the key takeaways from our conversation: The Superpower of Unique Experiences: Brian emphasized that everyone's unique lived experience is a superpower. ERGs are spaces where these superpowers can be shared, celebrated, and leveraged for innovation and growth. It's like having a room full of superheroes with different powers, but they all work together to save the day!   Intergenerational Collaboration is Key: The "RISE" ERG at UKG highlights the importance of intergenerational collaboration. It's about breaking down the silos and creating spaces where different generations can learn from each other. Like Brian said, it's about being the "cool mom" or "cool dad" by understanding and connecting with the younger generation.   ERGs Drive Business Impact: Brian shared compelling data from Great Place to Work and UKG's own research that shows ERGs drive higher engagement, retention, and innovation. They're not just feel-good initiatives; they're smart business strategies.   Allyship Through Understanding: Brian advocates for joining ERGs that are outside one's immediate experience to foster understanding and allyship. It's about stepping outside your comfort zone and learning from others' perspectives. As he put it, "The power will come when you join the one you have least affinity to." ERGs as Proxies for Customer Base: Employee resource groups can act as a direct line to your customer base. They can provide honest feedback and insights into accessibility and market demographics that might otherwise be missed. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: If you're a leader, take the leap and become an executive sponsor for an ERG. And if you're an employee, consider joining an ERG that stretches you beyond your comfort zone. You'll be amazed at what you learn and how much you grow. Insightful Quotes: "That uniqueness is our superpower." "The power will come when you join the one you have least affinity to." "It's about creating spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued – like finding your tribe in the middle of a corporate jungle." "We can't live everyone's life, but we certainly can have empathy and listen to someone else." "These people will tell you the truth. And if you include them in the story, they'll continue to be more engaged." You can find the UKG ERG Playbook that Brian referenced online here, and you can find Julie Kratz at https://www.nextpivotpoint.com/

In this episode of The E1B2 Collective, I unpack the biggest signals from the 2025 Great Place to Work Summit—from trust as a business strategy to the rise of human-first AI—and connect them to a bold conversation about the boomerang employee. What if 15% of your best alumni came back stronger, sharper, and more aligned? We explore how forward-thinking companies are re-engaging former employees through authentic storytelling, high-frequency employer branding, and re-onboarding strategies built for growth—not nostalgia. If you believe in trust as a talent magnet and culture as a comeback story, this one's for you.

On this very busy day, Jonathan and Ryan record the show while also playing Castle Crashers. Jonathan shares some of his early life experiences growing up with videogames as a retreat from his real life and Ryan says that real life is better than Minecraft. A few different videogame genres are discussed before landing on the small number of genres that all games can be classified as.

Greater Heights opened in early December 2024 in Fitchburg, Wisconsin—which is right around Madison—and has ropes, boulders and auto belays. The climbing walls at the gym are from Rockwerx, the flooring is from Asana, and Rock Gym Pro is the management software. John and Jonathan chat all about the origin of Greater Heights and the origin of Jonathan's involvement with the gym. They discuss Jonathan's outlook on how climbing gyms are like a subscription service, in a way. They also focus on the Midwest as a good region for a climbing gym, and Jonathan, as a lifelong Midwesterner, offers some keen insights on getting one started.

In this episode, I sit down at the Jamaica Stock Exchange to talk about what's really happening in Jamaica's investment scene.

IF you recall a few episodes back, 204 to be exact, we were introduced to the conflict between the sons of Mpande kaSenzangakhona, Cetshwayo kaMpande and Mbuyazi kaMpande. Mpande had moved Cetshwayo and his uSuthu regiments away from their northern power zones and Mbuyazi and his iziGqoza to the south east in an abortive attempt at reducing Cetshwayo's growing power. There had been a mock hunt organised supposedly to sort out the differences between the two, but the iziGqoza had melted away when they realised how many more warriors had pitched up to fight with Cetshwayo. It was in November 1856 that Mpande had made the move, and upon arrival in the north, Mbuyazi began throwing his weight around, provocatively clearing nearby homesteads and ordering the local clans to pay him tribute. Eating up the opponents as it was called. Many of the cattle he began to expropriate technically belonged to Cetshwayo. Maphitha, who as advising Cetshwayo, suggested it was time to sort things out finish and klaar. “…You will never be king if you do not act at once..” He told Cetshwayo in late November. Where Dingana and Shaka had held total control over their cattle, Mpande had begun to lose his grasp over the amaZulu nation. Senior chiefs Masiphula and Mnyamana joined forces with Cetshwayo's brothers Ndabuko and Silwana, along with half brothers Dabulamazi, Shingana, Ziwedu and Hamu and marched to Cetshwayo' Great Place at oNdini. Cetshwayo plotted his next moves. He had the luxury of a bigger army thought to number between 15 000 and 20 000 men. The odds were in his favour, but Mbuyazi was the nominated successor to Cetshwayo and obligated to fight for his honour. Cetshwayo formed up his uSuthu regiments, and proceeded to march south. By now, Mbuyazi had turned to the white traders for help. He gathered up his people, men, women and children, as well as all his cattle and other livestock, near iSangqu — and near a mission station run by Norwegian missionary, Hans Schreuder. I have mentioned him before, six feet tall, powerful, and with a very short fuse. He did not take too kindly to Mbuyazi arriving lock stock and barrel at his mission station, with Cetshwayo imminent arrival at iSangqu which is near the town of Ntumeni. Schreuder was relieved when Mbuyazi continued south with his plan to cross the Thukela River. But it was early summer and the rains had begun. The mightly Thukela was already flooding, it's yellow and orange waters leaping in giant swirling rapids, in places five metres deep. All of the hullabaloo had reached the ears of one of the most important characters of the mid-19th Century South Africa. John Dunn. His tale and those of his significant descendants will weave through our story from here on and for good reason. As a British trader, he had decided that the ways of the amaZulu were more to his liking.
