In this episode of Counseling Through the Psalms, James Long, Jr. helps us explore how David moves from protest to praise—not by denying the pain of injustice, but by entrusting it to God's perfect justice.When your name is attacked or your heart is weary, this psalm shows you how to search your conscience, cry out for truth, and rest in the righteousness of God. It is a psalm for those who need both refuge and reassurance in a world where justice often feels delayed or denied.Key TakeawaysGod is both the righteous judge and a personal refuge for the wounded.Prayer can be a protest—not against God, but to Him.True vindication starts with humility, not self-defense.God's patience toward evildoers does not equal indifference.We can move from protest to praise when we trust God's justice more than our own vindication.Scripture FocusPsalm 7:1–17Deuteronomy 32:4Psalm 18:2Romans 2:4–6Proverbs 10:9Reflect and RespondHave you ever been falsely accused or misrepresented?

"When you align individual motivation with the broader mission, that's when magic happens and teams thrive.” - James ThormanWhat does it take to lead a team with purpose, ignite individual motivation, and build a thriving, high-performing culture? In this episode of Transformative Leadership Conversations, James Thorman, a seasoned leader with a wealth of experience from his time at A Place for Mom and other roles, joins me to dive deep into the core elements of effective leadership. He explains how understanding the unique motivations of individuals within a team is crucial for achieving collective success. Through thoughtful leadership strategies and a commitment to aligning personal and organizational goals, James explores how teams can be nurtured to reach their full potential. He shares valuable insights into building a team culture that fosters growth, collaboration, and high performance. From senior leadership lessons to practical tools for day-to-day team dynamics, James provides a comprehensive look at what it takes to lead a motivated team that is driven by both personal satisfaction and the company's mission.Hear James and I discuss:Understanding Motivations: James reflects on an early lesson in his career, learning from his colleague Tatiana that people's motivations differ and aren't always aligned with our own. He emphasizes how crucial it is to understand those differences to unlock the full potential of your team.Aligning People with Purpose: As leaders, it's vital to connect personal motivations with the greater mission of the organization. James elaborates on the importance of ensuring that individual goals align with company goals. When people are invested in the purpose and mission, their drive to succeed becomes much stronger.The Importance of Company Ethos: As you rise through the ranks, James explains the need to deeply understand your company's ethos and what it will take to achieve its goals. If leaders don't understand the mission, they risk setting their teams up for failure. He underscores how integral it is to create an environment that reflects and supports this ethos.Effective Leadership Strategies: James talks about some of the specific leadership practices he has found most effective in motivating teams. From setting the right tone at the top to helping employees identify what excites them, he discusses actionable insights on how to get the best out of your team.The Role of the Senior Leader: James shares his thoughts on the responsibilities of senior leaders in fostering team success. He talks about how understanding the broader company mission and helping employees connect to that mission is one of the keys to motivating a high-performing team.Building High-Performing Teams: One of the most rewarding aspects of leadership, according to James, is when everything clicks into place—when the team starts thriving, collaborating effectively, and engaging with each other. He talks about the iterative process of building a successful team, where learning and growth are constant, and how critical it is to have the right mix of motivation, mission alignment, and structure.Creating an Environment for Success: As much as individual motivation is important, James emphasizes that creating the right structure, cadence, and environment is just as critical. With the right team fit and the appropriate resources, teams are more likely to thrive in the long run.The Importance of Explicit Communication: James and Winnie discuss how senior leaders can create more effective teams by engaging in open, explicit conversations about motivation. They explore how asking team members what excites them or where they find their energy can lead to deeper, more productive discussions that help leaders tailor roles and expectations to each person's strengths.The Long-Term Rewards of Team Alignment: James reflects on the ultimate payoff when everything aligns—motivated individuals, aligned company goals, and a culture that supports growth and high performance. When this happens, teams not only succeed but thrive in ways that benefit both individuals and the organization as a whole.ResourcesJames Thorman on LinkedIn | A Place for Mum websiteWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack I Email - winnie@winnifred.org

Send us a textSilence isn't always golden, especially when it comes to standing firm in faith. Today, we're challenging the Church to break its silence on pivotal moral issues, drawing inspiration from courageous figures like the Hebrew midwives, Moses, and Queen Esther. These stories teach us that true faith cannot be hidden away; it demands public expression and unwavering courage. Let's explore how their examples urge us to confront modern challenges boldly and remind us that silence can sometimes equate to complicity.In a world where God-ordained institutions are under attack, Christians need a roadmap for resilience. The Book of James offers us five principles to stand firm, encapsulated in the acronym S-T-A-N-D. We'll discuss how these principles can help believers view trials as a gateway to spiritual growth and maturity. By focusing on God's sovereign plan, we can transform chaos into opportunities for our faith to thrive, resisting global pressures that aim to stifle our religious freedoms and moral compass.Words hold immense power, and today, we're harnessing that force for truth and love. With insights from James, we explore how the tongue, though small, can steer our lives toward wisdom or destruction. This episode is a clarion call for believers to act with conviction, letting their deeds speak louder than words, as demonstrated by Abraham and Rahab. As we reflect on the historical courage of figures like Sipra and Pua, we reaffirm our commitment to be lights in the world, praying for strength, integrity, and positive growth within our communities.
