Send us a textWhat holds when everything else breaks? We walk through Job's story to confront loss, fragility, and the stubborn hope that grows where our strength ends. Instead of sugarcoating pain, we name it, sit with it, and ask better questions about God's purpose when explanations don't arrive on our schedule.We start with the shock of Job's total collapse—wealth, status, children, health, and friendship stripped away in a blink—and the mental and spiritual whiplash that follows. From there, we push back on the comfort myth of karma and the cultural idol of self-will. If life is just moral math, grace is unnecessary; if God is only a gift dispenser, faith crumbles when gifts go missing. We offer a different path: begin by thanking God in the middle of hardship. Not because pain is good, but because meaning can precede understanding and sovereignty can steady the soul before answers come.Anchored in Job 6:12, we explore why admitting “I am not brass or stone” is not defeat but wisdom. Human weakness is not a flaw to hide; it's the doorway to dependence. We unpack how depravity humbles our confidence in self-salvation and why new birth turns desire toward God. Along the way, we challenge harmful counsel that suspects secret sin and instead model presence, patience, and truthful encouragement. Strength is made perfect in weakness not by gritting our teeth but by leaning into the One who sustains us when we can't stand on our own.Listen for a grounded, tender exploration of suffering, sovereignty, and hope. If you're weary, wounded, or wrestling with God's will, you'll find language for lament and a pathway to resilient faith.

“Relief seeking often turns into relief dumping, where we offload our stress onto someone else without even realizing it.”In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession calls out a year-end pattern that drains our nervous systems and strains our relationships at work. As the holidays approach and the pressure to “get everything wrapped up” intensifies, many leaders unintentionally pass their stress onto someone else. Rebecca breaks down why this happens, how our bodies interpret the season as a threat, and what it looks like to lead with humanity instead of urgency.Through storytelling, science, and a grounded understanding of human behavior, she offers a compassionate yet firm reminder that most tasks can wait, our nervous systems need space, and our people deserve grace. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and choose rhythms that honor real human capacity during the busiest time of the year.In this episode, you'll learn:Why year-end urgency pushes teams into activation and overwhelmHow relief-seeking turns into stress-dumping and what to do insteadPractical steps to lead with clarity, softness, and shared humanityThings to listen for:(00:00) Introduction(00:43) The year-end hot potato problem(01:59) The overstimulated brain(05:01) Understanding displaced activation(06:53) Grace and humanity during the holidays(10:26) Practical tips for year-end planning(15:40) Reflection questions for leadersConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/

We begin with a trigger warning, this week we talk about the results of people apparently catching fire spontaneously and the gruesome remains that sometimes leaves behind. We attempt to go easy but still if you find yourself challenged by some of these descriptions, feel free to skip the episode. You matter. What a week! This week we tackle the burning subject (quite literally( of spontaneous human combustion. We dig into historic cases both fairly mundane and incredibly strange. We discuss cases and theories from ancient to modern, including the wick effect and how it literally demands the person sit in one place, unmoving while they burn to mostly ash. We discuss the very strange case of Mary Reeser and so much more and we also talk to author, and friend of the show, Dan B. Fierce about his upcoming plans.

Handing over a project is one of the most underestimated and misunderstood phases in manufacturing and industrial automation. In this episode of Manufacturing Hub, Vlad and Dave sit down to break apart real stories from the field covering MES rollouts, line commissioning, SCADA and ignition development, operational adoption, and the very real consequences of poor knowledge transfer. Most conversations online focus on the technical build, but very few people emphasize the point where engineering lets go and the operations team becomes the true owner of the system. This episode brings forward examples of both well executed handovers and catastrophic failures that every engineer, integrator, or manager can learn from.Vlad begins by walking through his experience building MES and data collection systems for food and beverage facilities where each plant had different architectures, legacy systems, undocumented networks, and obsolete PLCs. These initiatives required deep assessments, phased modernization, server deployments, KPI development, and the long journey from data collection to actual operational use. The most important insight is that success rarely comes from the technology alone. It comes from the extent to which operators, supervisors, and CI teams are trained, empowered, and aligned to use what has been built.Dave then shares a story from a multi year track and trace project that technically worked but failed at the operational handover stage because the one scheduler refused to schedule inside the system. The entire project was mothballed despite millions of dollars invested. The lesson is simple. Technology cannot compensate for missing stakeholder alignment and poor discovery. Human influence can halt even the most well engineered solution.Timestamps 00:00 Welcome and episode setup 01:20 Host introductions and backgrounds 04:00 Vlad's MES and data rollout projects across multiple plants 18:10 Biggest wins and failures from MES handovers 26:20 Dave's chocolate factory MES and traceability project 29:30 The scheduler says no and a multi million project gets mothballed 36:40 Lessons learned about scope creep and realistic timelines 42:00 Vlad's multimillion packaging line rollouts and OEE based handover 49:20 Internal versus external teams and who really owns change 58:50 Connected workforce at an orange juice plant and knowledge capture 01:15:00 Where project handovers are heading in the next three to five years 01:19:00 Career advice, books, and final thoughts HostsVladimir RomanovFounder of Joltek.

In a world where AI can write, speak and even imagine on our behalf, what does it really mean to understand human stories? In this episode, Andy Goram is joined by James Warren, founder and CEO of Share More Stories and the team behind SEEQ, a platform that helps organisations read, interpret and quantify the emotional depth inside customer and employee experiences. James argues that stories aren't just communication, they're how we form relationships, build community and create meaning. They're emotional code. And if leaders can learn to listen properly, stories reveal the truth people often can't or won't put in a survey. Together, Andy and James explore how AI can help leaders understand thousands of stories at scale without replacing or sanitising the human heart behind them. They get into the nuance of emotional data, connection, belonging, trust and the danger of letting machines fabricate “ideal employees” through synthetic responses. It's a conversation about preserving humanity in an increasingly machine-shaped world and why the future belongs to leaders who combine technology with vulnerability, deep listening and genuine openness to the stories their people share. ----more---- Key Takeaways Stories reveal emotional truth leaders can't get from surveys. Stories contain emotional “code” that shows what people value, fear and hope for. Connection creates a shared “we”, the foundation of real change. Without connection, organisational change becomes something leaders do to people, not with them. AI can scale human understanding, but it must not replace humans. SEEQ helps reveal emotion in stories at scale, but synthetic data crosses an ethical line. Human nuance matters more than ever in an AI-shaped future. Imperfection, emotion and authenticity are trust signals machines can't replicate. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:01:26 – Stories in a machine-shaped world 0:03:39 – Meet James Warren 0:05:16 – Why stories explain the “why” behind experiences 0:06:06 – Storytelling as human survival & connection 0:08:14 – Humanity, belonging and collective wisdom 0:11:59 – Navigating change with empathy and clarity 0:18:24 – Connection and the power of “We” 0:19:49 – SEEQ and quantifying emotional data 0:32:59 – The meaning layer: why emotion matters 0:34:24 – Imperfection, realism and trust 0:41:52 – AI, nuance and future guardrails 0:44:15 – Synthetic data and ethical boundaries 0:46:42 – James's 3 Sticky Notes of advice ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow James Warren on LinkedIn here Find the Share More Stories website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Are you living at your best—or simply getting by? For many believers, chronic exhaustion has become a quiet norm. Yet Scripture reminds us that burnout isn't a badge of honor. It's a warning light. When life feels out of balance, it may be a sign we're pushing beyond the limits God lovingly designed for our good.Today, we sat down with Carey Nieuwhof—pastor, bestselling author of At Your Best: How to Get Time, Energy, and Priorities Working in Your Favor, leadership expert, and host of the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast, as well as the founding pastor of Connexus Church—to talk about how Christians can pursue biblical rest and renewed purpose. Carey's insights come not from theory, but from the deepest valley of personal experience.When Success Masks ExhaustionCarey's story began two decades ago, during a season of explosive ministry growth. His church was thriving, opportunities were multiplying, and by every outward measure, life was “on top.” But amid this success, his inner world was collapsing.After returning from a high-profile speaking event, Carey hit a wall:“It was like I fell off a cliff. I lost motivation, passion, and energy. I met all the symptoms of clinical depression. My body declared a finish line I had refused to acknowledge.”People around him saw the signs. He didn't. And that's often the story behind burnout—others notice the warning lights long before we do.Carey describes burnout as “the gap between what you're capable of and what you're carrying.” Early in ministry, he assumed that increasing responsibility meant increasing hours. It was an unsustainable equation.Yet today, two decades later, he leads a much larger platform with far more influence—without living exhausted. Why? Because he restructured his life around a biblical rhythm of rest, limits, and intentional focus.Managing Energy, Not Just TimeMany Christians feel that better time management will fix their overload. But as Carey points out, time is a fixed asset—everyone gets the same 24 hours. Energy, however, rises and falls.Every person has what Carey calls a “green zone”—a few hours each day when they are at their best mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. For him, it's morning. For others, it might be midday or evening.His challenge is simple: Do what you're best at when you're at your best.When he writes in his green zone, he gets exponential results. When he tries the same work in his “red zone,” productivity crashes. This principle applies to everyone—from CEOs to parents, pastors, and business owners.Stewarding energy also requires boundaries. That means saying no—not out of selfishness, but out of faithfulness.Carey explains:Saying yes to every request eventually forces you to say no to the people who matter most.Delegation is a spiritual discipline.Some opportunities, even good ones, don't align with God's call in a particular season.By categorizing his decisions—like eliminating breakfast meetings that compete with his green zone—Carey reclaimed the margin he had been missing for years.Rest Is Not a Reward—It's DesignFor many Christians, rest feels like something we “earn” after working ourselves to the edge. But biblically, rest is part of our calling.Carey describes Sabbath not just as rehab after exhaustion, but prehab—something that prepares and strengthens us for faithful work. He points to the way elite athletes build rhythms of sleep, diet, and intentional recovery before they step onto the court.Even God modeled this for us—delighting in His creation and resting not from exhaustion but from joyful completeness.For Carey, the principles of rest and margin extend well beyond the calendar.A free Saturday protects family time. A healthy emergency fund protects the home from crisis. Limits are not restrictions—they are blessings that allow us to flourish.Margin creates room to love well, give freely, and listen to God's direction.Living at Your BestCarey's journey from burnout to renewal is a grace-filled reminder: God never asked us to outrun His design.He calls us to work diligently, rest faithfully, and live within the good limits He created for our flourishing. Carey's whole story—and the principles he teaches in his book At Your Best—offer a roadmap for anyone seeking balance, health, and spiritual renewal.For more wisdom from Carey Nieuwhof, explore his book At Your Best and visit the Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast. And if you're an advisor, he'll be joining us at Redeeming Money, our conference for financial professionals, in February.May you learn to live—not at your limit—but at your best, in the freedom and rest God provides.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Can you explain the pros and cons of taking Social Security at 62 versus waiting until full retirement age? By 62, I'll be mostly debt-free, and since longevity doesn't run in my family, I'm wondering if it makes sense to claim early while my quality of life is higher and still work within the income limits.When should someone update their will? I'm 58, debt-free, still working, and have a solid 401(k). Should I consider setting up a trust, and how do I know when that becomes the wise choice, especially since it costs more?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)At Your Best: How to Get Time, Energy, and Priorities Working in Your Favor by Carey NieuwhofDidn't See It Coming: Overcoming the Seven Greatest Challenges That No One Expects and Everyone Experiences by Carey NieuwhofThe Carey Nieuwhof Leadership PodcastRedeeming Money 2026: A Kingdom Advisors ConferenceWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

It deserves the care that honors your rights, your choices, and your profound capacity for strength, trust, and pleasure." —Debra Pascali-Bonaro Ep 168 Description: Every birth tells a story, but too often those stories are shaped by fear, misinformation, or lack of choice.

In this hosts-only episode of Uncover the Human, Cristina and Alex dive into one of the most overlooked—and costly—gaps in organizational life: activation, the critical phase between having a great idea and actually implementing it. Drawing on real stories, humor, and plenty of personal experience, they explore why teams so often leap straight from strategy to execution, leaving people confused, overwhelmed, and unintentionally sidelined. From missed communication to unclear roles and “zoning sign” announcements nobody reads, they unpack the ripple effects of skipping activation and how it quietly derails even the best-intentioned changes.Cristina and Alex also share what effective activation really requires: empathy, clarity, honest conversations, and the willingness to slow down long enough to bring people along. They examine the signs activation has been skipped, dispel the myth that communication or training alone is enough, and offer insights on how leaders can better prepare their teams for change. Whether you're navigating a restructure, launching a new initiative, or simply working with other humans, this episode is a relatable, energizing reminder that sustainable change isn't an event—it's a journey.

From the Spirit's role in Jesus' conception to His comfort and guidance of Mary on her journey to Elizabeth, we see that God's presence is not limited to grand, miraculous moments but extends to the quiet, unseen steps we take in our lives. Cynthia also notes that even in the last moments of silence preceding Jesus' birth (the 400 years between Malachi and the Gospels), the Spirit is waiting and then speaks to unlikely people—Mary, Zechariah, Elizabeth—signaling God's readiness to move.Both Stéphanie and Cynthia share an affinity for observing—paying attention to the details that God reveals. Cynthia describes herself as an “observer” who seeks to notice God at work, longing to discover and dig deeper. She invites us to do the same: to live lives marked by holy expectancy, always searching for evidence of God's presence through His Spirit. The conversation encourages listeners to be lifelong learners of the faith—not settling for what we've always known, but continually growing in our understanding of Him.Cynthia offers to expand our understanding of the gospel: it is not only about Jesus or the Father, but involves the entire Trinity. The Father sends the Son, and the Son sends the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is integral, taking the words of Jesus and illuminating them for us, deepening our comprehension far beyond what we might realize. This broadening view challenges us to recognize the Holy Spirit's involvement not just during Christmas, but throughout all of Jesus' ministry and in every aspect of our faith journey.So, Stephanie and Cynthia invite YOU to make space for the Holy Spirit during this Advent season. Cynthia suggests that we sometimes need to let go of traditions or activities that crowd out our capacity to ponder the real meaning of Christmas. The invitation is to intentionally prepare our hearts, not just our homes, so we don't end Christmas feeling empty or disappointed but deeply satisfied by God's presence.Cynthia also brings attention to the overlooked figures in the Christmas story—the innkeeper, the cloth weavers, and countless unnamed helpers. These reminders inspire us to appreciate every person's role and to look for God among the unnoticed and ordinary.Ultimately, Cynthia and Stéphanie challenge us not just to trace the Holy Spirit through Advent, but through our entire lives. Reflect on how God's Spirit has been working—generations back, in your own childhood, and through every season. The Spirit of Christmas is an invitation to continual discovery, deepened intimacy, and expectation for what God will reveal next.Get ready for Advent: As you move through Advent, intentionally seek and observe the Holy Spirit—both in the Christmas story and your daily life.

We want a warm, welcoming atmosphere to journey ever deeper into the heart of God. We believe it is the ultimate calling of the Christian life, and I like to summarize it with my motto, God's glory, our delight. That is why we invite you to “taste and see” that the Lord is good. And we have been doing this every day since 2019. We need YOU to keep Gospel Spice alive and growing. Financially speaking, we rely on people who understand this vision and who understand that we cannot function without a minimum budget. We run an extremely tight budget. For example, I work full time but don't draw a salary. And yet, we have expenses – for example, the equipment and technology we use, and also the wonderfully gifted staff who make it possible to deliver high quality content all around the globe, and then the necessary occasional promotional budget to make it possible to be discovered by those who seek to live a life spiced with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

And so we commit to giving the majority of what we receive, once all of our administrative costs are paid, to organizations that fight human trafficking on the front line. There are many worthwhile causes in the world, so why this one? Because I have always personally felt deep compassion for victims of human trafficking – maybe because I have never been its victim myself, so I feel a responsibility to help those less fortunate than me. Also, because Jesus tells us to love our neighbor. Human trafficking is modern day slavery, and that is something that revolts the heart of God. We want to play our part in raising awareness and then financially supporting those who fight this great evil. So, we do some due diligence. We pick organizations who have proven themselves trustworthy of our support. And then we give money to these Christians organizations that fight human trafficking.So would you consider paying us forward at gospelspice.com/payitforward?Your hard-earned money is always well used at Gospel Spice. Ultimately, you are giving back to the Kingdom, a portion of what Jesus has given you. We are well aware of the privilege to steward your partnership.

The CIA infamously experimented with LSD, but few know that the same MKULTRA program involved sub-projects that included experiments with caffeine, nicotine, and marijuana. Since 2020, caffeine consumption and nicotine vaping has increased dramatically in the United States, alongside approximately 3 solid years of Yale University-CIA behavioral nudging for pharmaceutical company products, just like the ones that supplied the CIA with their abundant LSD. The CIA Operation Midnight Climax, which involved drugs and sex, is another infamous experiment in depravity and mind control. Combining the two experiments involving stimulants and sex, and the associated trauma and tensions induced alongside in the projects, paints a clear picture of our society today. A country addicted to caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, and prescription drugs; a country fed constant propaganda about war, disease, terrorism, politics, social injustice, etc.; a society that is spied on through cell phones, televisions, and computers, and increasing sexually perverted entertainment; a country in which every home has been turned into a 225 Chestnut Street. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode, Bart sits down with Sara Murray, founder & CEO of Murmaid International, sales trainer, keynote speaker, and host of Prospecting on Purpose. This conversation explores Sara's journey from corporate to entrepreneur, her “ABAV” philosophy (Always Be Adding Value), the mindset behind confidence, abundance, and authentic connection, and the simple human behaviors that create massive business impact.Sara shares candid stories about positivity, self-belief, gratitude, and what happens when you consistently show up as someone who notices, connects, and overdelivers.Major Takeaways / Learnings“Always Be Adding Value” (ABAV) is the game-changerSara's foundational philosophy: every interaction is a chance to make an emotional deposit. Add value before you ask. Add value even when you don't need anything. Add value when it costs nothing. This is what builds reputation, trust, and opportunity.Confidence isn't arrogance, it's earned through actionSara teaches how to “jump up on the pedestal” instead of shrinking in front of high-value clients. Confidence is built by collecting experiences, learning from people, and trusting your strengths.Abundance > ScarcityEven in competitive industries, there's more than enough success to go around. Sara and Bart connect over the idea that generosity creates momentum. When you give without expectations, the world opens up.Sales isn't pushing, it's helpingIf your product or service genuinely improves someone's business or life, then outreach isn't “bothering” people. It's informing them of value they deserve to know about.Listening is the new superpowerPeople miss opportunities because they're too busy “performing.” Listening deeply to needs, hints, frustrations, vacations, or tiny details, creates connection. It's rare. And therefore powerful.Personal touchpoints matter more than automationAutomation is fine. Humanity wins. A review. A thoughtful suggestion. A follow-up based on something they said. Most people don't do these small acts, which is why they stand out.Entrepreneurship requires patience and faithSara emphasizes that the first few years are harder, longer, and more demanding than expected. But with patience, belief, and staying aligned with your “why,” the payoff is life-changing.Your childhood shapes your strengthsSara's ability to talk to anyone came from sitting next to strangers on flights as a Delta employee's kid. Every interaction became a data point that built confidence, empathy, and curiosity.Value before ask, every timeOne of Sara's favorite examples: she once recommended two novels to someone going on vacation. It got her booked a full year earlier than expected. Human > transactional.Helping people first is the business modelWhen you focus on helping, not hustling, you attract the right clients, create impact, and build a career you're proud of.Memorable Quotes“We're at your service, we're not your servants.”“Everyone's trying to jump on the pedestal. You don't have to take anyone off… just put yourself up there too.”“Abundance starts when you stop asking and start adding.”“If your service genuinely helps people, they need to know about it. That's not bothering them, that's doing your job.”“Patience and trust, that's the hardest part of entrepreneurship.”“Changing someone's life wasn't my why at first… but it became my why.”Why It Matters / How to Use ItModel Sara's A-BAV approach: Look daily for no-cost, meaningful ways to surpass what “most people don't” do.Shift from scarcity to service: Helping without keeping score amplifies everything, your brand, referrals, confidence, and results.Lead with humanity: Automation can draft. You deliver the emotion.Be confident by being curious: Ask more. Listen more. Notice more.Build emotional bank accounts before withdrawals: Look for tiny deposits that compound into trust.Resources:LinkedIn: Sara Murray | LinkedInWebsite: Sara Murray
