Hey Neighbor! Food is essential for survival—and in this episode, we dig into a serious question: could you make it through a food shortage? With rising grocery prices, ongoing supply-chain issues, and concerns around future crop production, being prepared matters more than ever. We break down what's happening behind the scenes—from increased wheat and corn costs to fertilizer and labor challenges—and why planning ahead with even a 3-month food strategy is a smart place to start.We also share current garden updates (multiplying onions, aspabroc, sweet magnolia peas, Detroit dark red beets, carrots, and spinach) and introduce a new standout variety: FanciPak Hybrid Pickling Cucumber F1, bred for high yields, strong disease resistance, and perfect pickling size in just 50 days. Finally, we cover practical ways to prepare: start a garden (even indoors), learn food preservation methods like canning, freezing, fermenting, and pickling, and consider small livestock like chickens. Preserving food helps reduce waste, save money, extend seasonal flavors, and build real self-reliance—skills that matter whether times are uncertain or simply expensive.

Matthew 13

What does a good coworker look like when the stakes are real, the calendar is packed, and life crashes through the door? We share the story of a year that stripped leadership down to the studs and revealed a team stronger than anyone realized. When personal loss shook the top, our crew didn't freeze—they stepped in, made decisions, and carried the load without keeping score. That experience reframed how we think about support, accountability, and the space leaders must create for others to grow.We dig into a practical playbook for everyday teamwork. First, act when you see a need, even if it's “not your job.” That see something, do something mindset compounds into a culture of ownership. Then, speak up with hard truths in a soft way. Don't triangulate; go direct. We talk through scripts, timing, and tone so feedback feels like maintenance, not warfare. Civility matters, especially when the default is blame and name calling. And timing matters even more—address issues early, before resentment builds and voices rise.We also unpack the other side of feedback: receiving it. Most workplaces reward defensiveness and perfection theater. We want the opposite. Curiosity, clear asks, and next steps create momentum and trust. Leaders have a special role here: stay small longer so the team can get big. It's uncomfortable, but it's the fastest route to discovering hidden capacity and building resilience that lasts beyond any one person. If you're ready to cultivate coworkers who are co-builders, not bystanders, this conversation gives you the language, habits, and mindset to start today.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a teammate who needs it, and leave a quick review so others can find it. What's one hard truth you'll say softly this week?

If you're a nonfiction author — especially a coach, consultant, speaker, or thought leader — you've probably wrestled with the question:"Should you focus on building your author brand first, or writing the book first?"In this episode of Your Path to Book Publishing, we slow this question down and look at what actually keeps capable authors stuck — and why the answer isn't as simple as choosing one over the other.You'll learn why waiting for clarity often creates more friction than progress, how author voice and positioning are shaped through action, and why the most successful nonfiction authors allow their book and brand to develop together over time.This episode reframes the question entirely and offers a practical way to move forward without feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in planning mode.In this episode, you'll discover:Why “brand vs. book” is often the wrong question to askWhat truly prevents authors from getting startedHow author voice and positioning are developed through use, not theoryWhy focusing on one platform early can accelerate clarityA simple way to build momentum in both your book and your brand at the same timeIf you've been waiting to feel ready before starting your book or building your platform, this episode will help you rethink what readiness actually looks like.Learn more about Your Path to Book Publishing by visiting Juxtabook.com and discover if traditional publishing, self-publishing, or hybrid publishing is right for you.

Your kid is technically an adult, but still looking for–or needing–parental guidance. And maybe you still have your own parents weighing in, too. Parenting through this “in-between” stage can be complicated: How much guidance is too much? When do you let go? How do you stay close without taking over? In this encore episode of “Ask Lisa: The Psychology of Raising Tweens and Teens,” psychologist Dr. Lisa Damour and journalist Reena Ninan welcome Dr. Laurence Steinberg to discuss his book “You and Your Adult Child: How to Grow Together in Challenging Times.” Together they discuss how parents can make sense of the shifting roles that come with launching young adults while also managing relationships with aging parents. It's a heartfelt, insightful look at what it means to be part of the “sandwich generation” today.

Kevan Chandler is an author, speaker, and the voice behind We Carry Kevan and The Hospitality of Need. Kevan lives with muscular atrophy, a rare neuromuscular disease. Through his writing and storytelling he invites people into a countercultural way of seeing need, dependence, and community, not as weakness, but as gift. Kevan shares his story of growing up with muscular atrophy and how, over time, he's learned that serving others and being served are not opposites—they're intertwined. We talk about how our needs can become doorways into deeper relationships, the difference between simply asking for help and intentionally inviting people into our need, and how it's possible to give and receive at the same time. This conversation is thoughtful, challenging, and a reminder that vulnerability around our needs can lead to deeper connection with others.

We share three practical ways to build that connection—starting with short, simple prayer, adding a daily Scripture rhythm, and ending with a weekly family devotional that brings it all together.

Whereas the mission and direction of a company, philanthropic organization, or corporation might change over time, the mission of Christ's church is unwavering and unchanging.

It is made up of natural enemies. What binds us together is not common education, common race, common income levels, common politics, common nationality, common accents, common jobs, or anything of the sort. Christians come together, not because they form a natural collocation, but because they have been saved by Jesus Christ and owe him a common allegiance. In the light of this common allegiance, in light of the fact that they have all been loved by Jesus himself, they commit themselves to doing what he says—and he commands them to love one another. In this light, they are a band of natural enemies who love one another for Jesus' sake.” - D.A.

In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of God or spiritual-type thing to worship — be it J.C. or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan mother-goddess or the Four Noble Truths or some infrangible set of ethical principles — is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.” - David Foster WallaceLife Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who treasure Christ, grow together, and live on mission.

Send us a textThe walls separating churches often seem to rebuild faster than we can tear them down. Why is that? In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we dig into what keeps faith communities divided and how true servant leadership might be the answer.Our guest Andrew Houltzhouser joins us as we explore how unity breaks down when church leaders prioritize status over service. "It's like we tear down a wall and within six months, the new wall has barbed wire on top," we observe. Most troubling? The barrier to togetherness often starts in the pulpit, not the pews.We share personal stories about navigating relationships with people completely different from ourselves - from marriages between opposites to ministry partnerships that shouldn't work on paper but thrive in practice. The common thread? Humility. Leaders who vacuum floors, stack chairs, and mow lawns create cultures where everyone serves because they've witnessed authentic service from the top down.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as we contrast formally educated ministers with those who learned by doing. While seminary provides valuable knowledge, we've observed that some of the most effective church leaders are those who "stacked chairs for years" before taking leadership positions - they understand service because they've lived it. This isn't about dismissing education but recognizing that credentials without humility create division rather than unity.Perhaps most powerful is our examination of surface-level connections versus deep, sustained relationships. Churches often unite for conferences and special events but fail to maintain those connections afterward. As one of us puts it: "We're not walking together, we're walking the same way and every now and then bumping into each other."Want to experience what true togetherness looks like in action? Join us for Together Conference 2025, where we're putting these principles into practice. In the meantime, how might your leadership approach change if you focused less on titles and more on towels?
