Together We Will Journey to a Greater Faith

Together We Will Journey to a Greater Faith

What if one of the greatest treasures in life is closer than we think? In this message from the Greater series, Pastor David Uth reminds us that real joy is found in giving our time, our resources, and our lives to serve others. Drawing from the words of Jesus that it is more blessed to give than to receive, this message shows how serving opens doors for meaningful conversations, deepens our compassion, and allows our faith to flow outward like a river. As we look at examples from Scripture and stories of those who have gone before us, we're invited to discover how everyday acts of service can transform our community and point people toward hope. This message encourages us to step into a life of greater purpose by loving our neighbors and meeting needs in practical ways that truly make a difference. (02/22/2026)

Together We Will Journey to a Greater Faith

Most talks are totally forgettable because they never land emotionally and logically. If you want real impact — the kind that people remember, repeat, and act on — you need to stop "delivering content" and start designing attention through voice, pacing, phrasing, and purposeful movement.  Why are most presentations forgettable, even when the content is "good"? Because information doesn't stick — impact does. Most presentations are heavy on data and light on connection, so audiences can't remember the speaker, the topic, or both, even a day later. In a post-pandemic, mobile-first attention economy (think 2020s Zoom fatigue plus constant notifications), your audience can disappear in seconds — two or three taps and they're in "distraction heaven". The irony is that many speakers feel impressive at the front of the room, but the audience experiences monotone delivery as a kind of "presenter white noise". Compare it to business: a strategy deck in a shared drive is rarely "scintillating", but a skilled leader can bring the same content alive through delivery. In Japan, Australia, the US, or Europe, the mechanism is the same: if the audience isn't touched (emotion + logic), the message doesn't travel. Do now (answer card): Impact = emotional + logical resonance. Design for attention, not just accuracy. How do you use word emphasis to make your message land? Emphasising key words changes meaning and makes ideas memorable. When every word is delivered with the same weight, your message flattens out — and audiences tune out. The fix is simple: stress the words that carry the intention. Take the phrase "This makes a tremendous difference." Hit different words and you get different implications: THIS(contrast), MAKES (causation), TREMENDOUS (scale), DIFFERENCE (outcome).  This works across contexts: whether you're a SaaS founder pitching in Singapore, a multinational leader briefing in Tokyo, or a sales director presenting to a procurement team in the US, emphasis helps listeners hear the headline inside the sentence. It's also an executive credibility tool: it signals certainty and prioritisation, not verbal mush. Do now (answer card): Pick 3–5 "load-bearing" words per section and punch them. Make your audience hear your priorities. Why do pauses increase attention (and stop people scrolling)? Pauses are a pattern interrupt that drags attention back to you. When you stop speaking, the contrast is so sharp that people who were mentally wandering snap back. That's why a well-timed pause creates anticipation — it makes the next sentence feel important. In live rooms it works because silence is social pressure; on video calls it works because silence is unusual and therefore noticeable. Most presenters under-use pauses because they fear awkwardness. But doubling the length of your current pauses — even in just two moments — increases impact because it forces processing time. It also reduces "verbal clutter" and improves perceived authority, especially for leaders and subject-matter experts who want to sound decisive rather than frantic. Do now (answer card): Add two deliberate pauses: one before your key point, one after it. Let the room absorb the idea.   How do pacing and modulation stop you sounding monotone? Variety in speed and strength keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. Pacing is your emphasis dial: slow down to spotlight meaning, speed up briefly for contrast, then return to normal. The goal isn't "fast talking" — it's controlled variation. A steady pace with no contrast becomes hypnotic in the wrong way. Modulation matters even more if your default delivery is flat. The article notes that Japanese is often described as a monotone language, which means speakers may need to inject extra variety through speed and strength to create highs and lows.   Think of a classical orchestra: if it only played crescendos or only soft lulls, it would be unbearable. Your voice needs both. Do now (answer card): Mark your script: SLOW (key line), FAST (brief energy burst), LOW (serious), HIGH (optimistic). Build contrast on purpose.   What makes phrasing memorable — and how do you create "sticky" lines? Memorable phrasing uses patterns the brain likes: alliteration, rhyme, and contrast. Great presenters don't just explain; they package. A simple shift like "hero to zero" sticks because it's rhythmic, punchy, and easy to repeat — which is the whole point.   When people repeat your phrase, your message travels without you. This is useful across roles: salespeople need repeatable value statements, executives need quotable strategy, and team leaders need language that anchors culture. In Japan vs. the US, the style may change (more subtle in Japan, more direct in the US), but the mechanics are universal: make it short, make it patterned, make it tied to an outcome. Do now (answer card): Create 2 "sticky lines" for your talk: a contrast pair (X to Y) and a rhythmic three-part phrase. How should you use movement and gestures without distracting people? Movement should have a purpose — otherwise it steals attention from your message. Gestures are powerful when they match what you're saying, because they add strength and clarity. But there's a rule: hold a gesture for a maximum of about 15 seconds; after that, its power drops and it becomes visual noise.  The bigger danger is pacing up and down like a caged tiger — it distracts audiences and looks like nervous energy, not leadership. In boardrooms, conference stages, and hybrid setups, the principle is the same: move to signal something (transition, emphasis, audience inclusion), then stop. Stillness can be as impactful as motion when it's intentional. Do now (answer card): Plan your movement: "I step forward for the key point, I step sideways for contrast, I stop for the close." No random wandering. Conclusion Communicating with greater impact isn't about being louder or more dramatic — it's about being more deliberate. When you combine word emphasis, pauses, pacing, modulation, memorable phrasing, and purposeful movement, you stop sounding like everyone else. And that's the real advantage: most speakers stay stuck in the same groove, losing their audience. You become the person who holds attention, lands the message, and strengthens your professional brand.  Author credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Special Event IFPRI Policy Seminar Shaping Food Policy in a Changing World: Research Priorities for Greater Impact Organized by IFPRI, with support from the Gates Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation December 15, 2025 In today's fast-changing world and evolving food systems, the need for evidence-based food policy has never been more urgent – demanding research that is timely, inclusive, and tailored to context. Reliable data and rigorous analysis are essential, but research must also evolve – and become more timely, more relevant, and more inclusive of diverse voices and disciplines. Strengthening how we generate, communicate, and apply evidence is key to ensuring food systems deliver better outcomes for people and the planet. Join us at IFPRI for a high-level seminar that brings together researchers, policymakers, development partners and leading food system thinkers who have helped deliver science-based impact around the world to explore: • The role of food policy research in shaping past policies, programs, and investments • Emerging research questions and challenges in a rapidly shifting global landscape • How research and outreach must adapt to strengthen pathways from evidence to impact • How research institutions can adapt to remain responsive in a rapidly changing world To mark IFPRI's 50th anniversary, the event will also celebrate the contributions of the Institute's alumni and launch the Institute's new research strategy. 00:00:00 - Inaugural Session - https://on.soundcloud.com/hQG0uzZiCahbvJl2nh 01:09:45 - Making an Impact: Successes and Future Approaches - https://soundcloud.com/ifpri/ifpri-special-event-15dec2025?si=6aa560adbae34d58b27556ff6b048009&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing#t=01%3A09%3A45 02:11:13 - Accelerating Research-to-Impact Pathways - https://on.soundcloud.com/4EYzsVYT2iJsK8ozIf 02:57:44 - IFPRI Alumni Roundtable on Food Policy Research Opportunities and Challenges - https://on.soundcloud.com/ormRkwIbioYaCBBAwV 04:19:22 - Launch of the New IFPRI Strategy - https://on.soundcloud.com/WT0KvQVucGjr81xEV1 05:59:54 - Closing Session - https://on.soundcloud.com/IUw6Lzy3Avpqe3HJRf More about this Event: https://www.ifpri.org/event/shaping-food-policy-in-a-changing-world-research-priorities-for-greater-impact/ Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

In this SHORT episode of Purposely, we hear from Seumas Fantham, Executive Director of the Todd Foundation, on what happens when a funder realises their well-intentioned model is actually holding communities and charities back.Seumas explains how the foundation used to fund 60–70 groups a year, which meant most staff time went into processing the 89% who didn't receive funding. It wasn't strategic, and it unintentionally encouraged competition between community groups rather than collaboration.So they changed course.Instead of spreading funding thin, the foundation stepped back, listened, and focused on a smaller number of areas where they could genuinely shift outcomes. Staff spent a year talking to communities, understanding the landscape, and mapping where the real gaps were before committing any funding.One of those areas was youth employment. Seumas shares how they looked beyond “getting young people work-ready” and started asking a bigger question: How do we help employers become youth-ready too? By speaking with schools, employers, parents, youth organisations, training providers and more, they uncovered a fragmented system where no single group saw the whole picture. The foundation's new approach aims to bring these parts together so young people are supported from leaving education right through to settling into a job.Purposely SHORT is brought to you by Benevity and Trust Investments.

What does it really mean to be a hero in fundraising?After nearly 30 years working alongside major gift officers, executive directors, and nonprofit leaders, I've learned this: our sector's greatest challenges—poverty, injustice, inequality—are simply too big for any one person to solve alone.That's why this week feels so special. I'm celebrating the official release of my new book, Calling All Heroes: Combining the Best of Donor-Centered and Community-Centered Fundraising for Greater Impact, with a brand-new podcast episode that dives deep into human-centered fundraising—where donor-centered and community-centered approaches finally unite.In this episode, I share the story behind the book, including my transformative work with The Children's Center in Detroit (where we tripled philanthropic revenue while centering dignity and partnership), plus practical strategies you can implement immediately to:Blend fundraising models without losing your missionBuild diverse, collaborative teams that reflect your communityNavigate power imbalances with courage and transparencyReduce burnout while increasing impactHere's the question I kept wrestling with before writing this book: How can we honor both the generosity of our donors AND the wisdom of our communities, bringing every voice to the table without compromising what matters most?If you've ever felt torn between fundraising philosophies, exhausted by the pressure to "go it alone," or frustrated by division in our sector, this episode is for you.Listen now and discover why the future of fundraising belongs to all of us, side by side. Then share it with your team, your board, and anyone who believes in transforming generosity into lasting impact.Let's reclaim what it means to be everyday heroes. Together.

The United Nations climate summit—also known as COP—will take place in Belém, Brazil, starting on November 10th. This year, the United States will not have an official presence at COP30 due to the elimination of the State Department's Office of Global Change, making it more important than ever for mayors and other subnational leaders to engage. In this episode, Kate Johnson, regional director for North America at C40, sits down with EESI to talk about subnational climate action and how it fits in with COP and international collaboration more broadly.   Show notes: Keeping U.S. Climate Action Afloat: Subnational Diplomacy on Ocean Acidification (podcast): https://www.eesi.org/podcasts/view/9.3-keeping-u.s-climate-action-afloat-subnational-diplomacy-on-ocean-acidification  What Congress Needs to Know About COP30 (briefing series): https://www.eesi.org/cop30-briefings

Todd Dexheimer explores what it truly means to make an impact—not just in business, but also in your family and community. He emphasizes that creating wealth isn't only about money; it's about positioning yourself to influence and serve others in meaningful ways. Todd outlines five powerful strategies that can help you move toward a life of greater impact while also addressing the risks and fears that hold many people back. 5 Strategies to Make a Greater Impact: 1. Learn to control your fear – Fear can be paralyzing, but managing it is essential for growth. 2. Think abundantly – Shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance to see greater opportunities. 3. Take action – Success comes from doing, not just planning or waiting. 4. Stop making excuses – Excuses only delay progress; own your path forward. 5. Serve others – Focus on helping and adding value, not just how it benefits you. Todd also unpacks the risks that come with stepping into greater influence, but explains how embracing these challenges leads to stronger leadership, deeper fulfillment, and a legacy that lasts.

Deeper Wisdom, Greater Impact, Dive into Part 2 of 'WISDOM' by Pastor Kusi-Boadum and unlock the secrets to applying divine wisdom in your everyday life! Gain clarity, confidence, and purpose as you navigate life's complexities

Are you positioning your consulting or coaching as a service provider or as a strategic partner? In this episode, I break down the difference, the trap most of us fall into, and how you can start shifting into the role that positions your consulting or coaching for greater influence. This is the question I'm diving into as I kick off my new series, From Service Provider to Strategic Partner. I'll walk you through the difference between being a service provider by choice (and why that can be a great fit), versus falling into the accidental service provider trap. We'll also explore what it means to step into the role of strategic partner, why it matters, and how it sets you up for greater impact and income. I'll share: How to know if you're in the service provider trap (and what it's really costing you). Why so many of us fall into service provider mode after leaving our 9-to-5. What it really looks like to show up as a strategic partner, and how your value shifts when you do. Simple steps to begin making this shift with your very next client opportunity. If you've been hustling for piecemeal gigs, stuck in labor intensive projects or billing by the hour but know you're capable of more — this episode will help you see a new path forward. Where to dive in: (0:00:36) – What this series is about and why it matters (0:05:42) – Service provider by choice and the clear value it creates (0:11:18) – The accidental service provider trap (and how to spot it) (0:18:55) – Why we all fall into service provider mode at first (0:23:21) – The role of strategic partner and how to position yourself for it Next steps: Reflect on and then choose what works best for you — service provider or strategic partner. If strategic partner is your answer (but you're not there yet), notice what mindset shifts you're already seeing that you need to make so you can be open to the new approaches I'll be sharing in the coming episodes. And when you're done listening, grab my free Discovery Meeting Script at betsyjordyn.com/discovery-meeting-script. It'll show you the exact questions to ask — and how to ask them — so you can start making this shift in your very next client conversation. I'm also launching a new group coaching program that turns these partnership principles into action. You'll get step-by-step guidance and peer support to make this process your own and immediately level up your impact and income — starting with your very next client.

In this powerful and transparent episode, we're joined by leadership coaches Mark and Christine Jewell, a dynamic couple leading the Momentum Company and Warriors of the Heart. What started as a business-focused meetup evolved into a candid conversation about marriage, money, calling, and the cost of doing life in parallel instead of in partnership. They share the raw truth of how merging their businesses and finances wasn't easy—but it was the key to unlocking a whole new level of peace, purpose, and profit in their home and company. Christine and Mark get vulnerable about their journey from individual success to shared purpose. They reveal how a word from God—“supernatural unification”—set them on a course that exposed hidden money habits, relational misalignment, and the danger of running side-by-side without real connection. By aligning their financial systems and embracing their God-given roles in life and business, they not only paid off nearly $300K in debt in 18 months, but also experienced explosive growth and deeper family unity. You'll walk away from this conversation with practical frameworks, spiritual encouragement, and renewed hope that you can build a life and business that thrives—together.

Never Give Up on Your Dream... How Baseball and More can Teach us Lessons That Can Encourage Us to Keep Pursuing our Dreams in both Life and Business. What if the path to your biggest dreams wasn't found in swinging for the fences, but in mastering the little things? On the next episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we welcome Joel Goldberg, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, television host, and veteran reporter who travels with the Kansas City Royals. Known for his front-row seat to Major League Baseball's highs and lows, Joel has spent decades learning not just about the game — but about the people who play it, and the everyday habits that create lasting success. Joel's latest book, Small Ball Big Dreams, takes readers inside the clubhouse and behind the curtain, sharing stories from professional athletes, business leaders, and high performers who've built elite cultures by focusing on what he calls “the small ball” — the consistent, intentional, behind-the-scenes efforts that don't always make the highlight reel, but win championships on and off the field. In this episode, we'll explore how values like trust, preparation, resilience, and human connection can radically transform organizations, teams, and lives. As Joel shares, greatness isn't built on grand gestures — it's found in the morning routines, the hard conversations, the extra reps, and the way leaders show up every single day. From World Series-winning clubhouses to Fortune 500 boardrooms, Small Ball Big Dreams reminds us that culture isn't something you declare — it's something you live, one small action at a time. ⚾ Join us  for a conversation that blends baseball wisdom, leadership insight, and practical takeaways for anyone chasing big dreams. Whether you're a fan of the game or just ready for a new direction in your life, this is one episode you won't want to miss! Joel Goldberg's book, "Small Ball Big Dreams", is an absolute gem.  Because of his career as an announcer and all his radio and TV travels, Joel interviews many of the stars that you know, and many that you don't know. But in every interview there are valuable lessons for staying with your dream, becoming a better leader, and living a better life. The book really emphasizes that your life is not a straight path.  It will have obstacles, challenges, and at time discouragement.  In fact, what you initial thought you were set out to do, may in fact change and that change with the right attitude, effort, and resiliency will prove to be more fulfilling and serve a great purpose than what you could have ever imagined. When I finished reading the book, I was challenged, but more so, I was inspired!  What will be the next challenge that will push me to my new direction?  What do I need to let go of, that I will become the person with a life that impacts others.  Perhaps former Major League umpire Te Bennett summed it up best, "You have got to look at yourself in the mirror, and ask, 'what can I do better?'."

Recognize recurring negative narratives and actively replace them with new, empowering ones.Leadership influence starts internally. The way you perceive yourself sets the tone for how others respond to you.Intentional thought management is a daily practice. It's not about perfection, but consistently choosing thoughts that align with your desired reality. "You cannot create a new reality holding on to the same beliefs that you have now." "If you can rehearse failure, you can rehearse success." "Presence builds trust.

During this episode, Amy Neumann, the Founder and Executive Director of Resourceful Nonprofit, highlighted how AI can help nonprofits streamline operations and amplify their impact. Drawing from her book, Empower Your Nonprofit, Amy explained how AI offers unprecedented opportunities for mission-driven organizations to achieve more with fewer resources.“AI enables nonprofits to synthesize years of data into actionable insights,” Amy explained. She noted that this can help nonprofits create concise impact reports, donor presentations, or executive summaries that would otherwise require hours of manual effort. “It's not about the technology itself but how it can help us impact the world positively,” she said.One standout example Amy shared was the use of generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for drafting content. These tools not only accelerate content creation but also provide tailored insights to refine messaging for specific audiences, such as funders or volunteers. Amy emphasized that AI allows organizations to “turn insights into impact” by removing barriers to efficiency and creativity.She also addressed common fears surrounding AI adoption. “Some people have a moral objection to AI,” Amy acknowledged. However, she shared success stories of skeptics who, after learning how accessible and effective AI tools are, became champions of their use within their organizations.Amy's enthusiasm for technology's potential to drive social good was infectious. Her insights challenge nonprofits to embrace AI as a tool for amplifying their mission. Her organization, Resourceful Nonprofit, is pioneering this approach by helping nonprofits integrate AI into their workflows to foster inclusivity and efficiency.Nonprofits looking to amplify their impact should heed Amy's advice: Start small, experiment with accessible tools, and focus on how AI can support—not replace—the human element of mission-driven work.tl;dr:* Amy Neumann highlights AI's potential to help nonprofits synthesize data and amplify their missions.* She explains how generative AI tools simplify tasks like reporting, content creation, and impact measurement.* Amy shares her superpower of translating complex technologies into actionable social impact initiatives.* A compelling example shows how AI accelerates learning, saving time for mission-driven work.* Practical tips encourage nonprofits to embrace AI for efficiency and creativity without requiring technical expertise.How to Develop Translating Technology into Action As a SuperpowerAmy's superpower is her ability to translate complex technologies, like AI, into actionable insights for creating meaningful social impact. “I got obsessed early on with figuring out how technology could change the world,” Amy said. She leverages this skill to inspire others to adopt and implement technology for their missions.Amy shared how she uses AI to accelerate her own learning and productivity. For example, she uses generative AI to quickly gather and synthesize credible resources, enabling her to stay ahead in her studies and work. This efficiency has not only transformed her learning process but also demonstrates how nonprofits can use AI to better serve their missions by saving time and effort.Tips for Developing This Superpower:* Start with curiosity: Explore how new tools can help solve everyday challenges.* Practice co-creating with AI by combining its insights with your creativity.* Use generative AI tools for tasks like research, content creation, or problem-solving.* Start small: Experiment with user-friendly tools like ChatGPT or Poe for specific tasks.* Embrace a growth mindset: Recognize that no one is born with expertise—practice and learning are key.Conclusion: By following Amy Neumann's example and advice, you can make “translating technology into action” a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.
