Fourteen hours of excruciating pain, a hospital emergency room, and a curtain separating her from another patient's groaning and complaints — and then, just as the medicine began to kick in, a quiet and unsettling invitation in Kelly Balarie's mind: doesn't it feel good to be taken care of? Doesn't it feel nice to finally get the attention and compassion you've been needing? In this raw and spiritually perceptive episode, Kelly describes the moment she recognized that voice for exactly what it was — and refused to sign the contract it was offering. The paralytic man in John 5 had been lying on his mat for thirty-eight years. He had reasons, excuses, and circumstances that seemed to justify staying exactly where he was. But Jesus did not coddle his pain or validate his helplessness. He simply said: get up, pick up your mat, and walk. Kelly draws a clear and challenging parallel between that man's mat and the mat of self-pity we can each find ourselves lying on — sometimes without even realizing it. Pain is real, need is real, and suffering deserves compassion. But there is a difference between receiving care and making a home in helplessness. The invitation from Jesus is always the same: rise up. Take a step. Walk. Bible Verse "Then Jesus said to him, 'Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.'"— John 5:8, NIV Ponder Today Self-pity can masquerade as a need for compassion. The enemy is not above using real pain and real vulnerability to lure us into a posture of ongoing helplessness. Recognizing the difference between genuine need and self-pity is a spiritually important act. Looking to people for what only God can provide will always leave us empty. When we seek from others the validation, attention, and care that only God can truly give, we set ourselves up for deeper disappointment and deeper need. Pain is often healed as we take a new step. Healing rarely comes in full before we are asked to move. Like the paralytic who rose and walked, sometimes obedience to the command precedes the complete restoration we are longing for. Reject the enemy's contracts early. The invitation to stay down, stay sick, and stay sorry for yourself is subtle and can feel reasonable in a moment of vulnerability. Identify it, name it, and refuse it — just as Kelly did in that hospital room. A Prayer for You Today Father, help us when we feel down and out — when it seems like there is no way forward. Show us Your way instead. May we rise up according to Your strength and not our own. Help us not to look to people for what only You can truly provide. May we be strong in the power of Your might, and may we have the courage to pick up our mats and walk. In Jesus' name, Amen.

If you've taken time away from your career and you're wondering how to come back without explaining the gap or apologizing for your time off, this episode is for you. Caroline spent 17 years at one of the Big Four firms before hitting full-on burnout. After years of being passed over for promotions and navigating a system that forced competition over collaboration, she woke up one day and thought, "I can't do this anymore." She resigned. Took two years away. Moved countries. Completely reset her life. Then she had to figure out how to come back. This wasn't a standard return-to-work story. Caroline used a strengths assessment to identify her transferable value, named exactly what she wanted instead of apologizing for the gap, turned down the first offer that didn't fit, and ended up with a role at a mid-size entrepreneurial company working three days a week, 24 hours split across her schedule. This episode unpacks how to return to work after burnout and a career break, why your transferable skills matter more than your job titles, and how Caroline negotiated her way into flexible part-time work that fit both her home life and her work life. What you'll learn: How to translate years of corporate experience into a compelling value proposition after a career break Why year 8, 13, or 18 at the same company often becomes a breaking point (and how to spot it before you hit it) How to use a strengths assessment to rebuild confidence and articulate your transferable skills Why stating exactly what you want works better than apologizing for your time away How to negotiate flexible part-time work even when the first offer doesn't fit   Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

When a meeting becomes tense, your natural instinct might be to calm things down.But when emotions start rising, the real problem usually isn't the conflict itself. It's that something important is at stake, and the conversation has shifted from solving a problem to defending positions, competence, or credibility.In this episode, I explain why trying to smooth things over or bypass the hard stuff by “taking it offline” often makes things worse. You'll learn how to recognize what's really happening when discussions become emotional, why tension can be a useful signal rather than a threat, and how to help a group move from arguing with each other to working on the problem together.I also share a real example from a meeting where I wasn't the leader in the room but still had an opportunity to intervene. You'll learn three practical steps for slowing down heated conversations, uncovering the real issue beneath the disagreement, and helping teams make productive progress without shutting conflict down.By the end of this episode, you'll have a simple framework for navigating difficult moments in meetings and the confidence to step in when everyone else is waiting for someone else to act.Conversation Topics(00:00) A meeting that became more heated than anyone expected(01:06) Why most people freeze when conflict escalates in a meeting(02:05) The hidden issue underneath emotional disagreements(02:52) Why "let's take this offline" often makes things worse(03:32) Emotions are information, not a problem to solve(04:25) Why don't you need authority to help with a difficult conversation(05:40) Step #1: Slow the conversation down without shutting it down(06:00) Step #2: Identify the real concern underneath the disagreement(06:43) How to redirect emotional energy toward solving the problem(07:11) Step #3: Decide what happens next so the issue moves forward(08:00) The difference between burying a problem and intentionally parking it(08:50) [Extended] How to repair trust after an emotional reaction at work (09:20) [Extended] Why apologizing alone often isn't enough to rebuild credibility

She discusses how many people confuse actions with results, leading to procrastination and feeling stuck. By creating a detailed plan with specific actions and scheduling them, individuals can achieve their desired outcomes more effectively. Josselyne encourages listeners to identify their goals, list the necessary actions, and organize them chronologically to enhance productivity and performance.Create Your Year: https://beunmessablewith.thrivecart.com/create-your-year/ TakeawaysYou can't accomplish a huge task in one bite.Actions must be broken down into smaller steps.Finishing a project is a result, not an action.Identify specific actions needed to achieve results.Scheduling actions increases the likelihood of completion.A detailed plan is essential for success.Hopes and wishes without a plan lead to stagnation.Creating a team can facilitate achieving goals.Practice breaking down your goals into actionable steps.Engage with resources like workshops for further guidance.About Josselyne Herman-SaccioJosselyne Herman-Saccio is a master coach in the Art Of Being Unmessablewith no matter what life throws at you.She has spent over 30 years as an entrepreneur, author, coach, course leader and curriculum designer of transformative programs.

Send us Fan MailThis video is about My Feedback can be difficult to hear, especially when it conflicts with how you see yourself.You believe you are confident, but someone describes you as dismissive. You consider yourself collaborative, yet colleagues experience you as closed off. You think you are being decisive, but your team sees you as unwilling to listen.That disconnect may feel unfair. However, it can also reveal one of the most important factors affecting your leadership growth: the gap between what you intend and what other people experience.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I examine how the leadership perception gap can influence your reputation, professional relationships, promotion opportunities, and career advancement.I am recording this episode after delivering the closing keynote at NextUp's Rising Stars Conference, where participants used feedback from a 360 assessment to strengthen their leadership development. That experience reinforced something I see repeatedly in my coaching and speaking work.Most mid-career professionals do not lack skill, experience, or commitment. What they often lack is accurate, actionable feedback from people they trust.Why Self-Awareness Matters for Career AdvancementLeadership is not defined solely by what you intend. It is also defined by what other people experience when they work with you.You may intend to challenge your team, but they experience you as overly critical. You may intend to give people autonomy, but they experience a lack of support. You may intend to demonstrate confidence, but others experience you as unwilling to consider different perspectives.Your intentions matter, but they do not erase the impact of your behavior.This is why leadership self-awareness is essential for anyone seeking a promotion, greater influence, or a more strategic role. You cannot close a perception gap you are unwilling to examine.Why “You're Doing Great” Can Stall Your CareerSome of the most limiting feedback mid-career professionals receive sounds positive.“You're doing great.”“Keep doing what you're doing.”“You're reliable.”“We can always count on you.”These statements may be sincere, but they do not necessarily help you grow.Being reliable, trusted, and busy does not automatically mean you are viewed as influential, strategic, or ready for the next level of leadership. Vague praise can prevent you from identifying the behavior changes required to advance your career.In this episode, I explain how to look beneath general compliments and ask better questions about your leadership effectiveness, visibility, and readiness for greater responsibility.How to Process Difficult Feedback Without Becoming DefensiveTough feedback can trigger embarrassment, frustration, anger, or self-doubt. It is easy to dismiss the feedback, question the other person's motives, or immediately defend your intentions.Instead, I share a practical process for evaluating feedback more objectively:Pause before responding.Treat the feedback as a data point rather than an absolute truth.Separate your emotional reaction from the information being offered.Look for patterns across different people and situations.Identify what the behavior may be costing you.Choose one specific behavior to change.One person's opinion may be an outlier. When several people describe a similar experience, however, you have a pattern worth examining.The goal is not to change everything about yourself. The goal is to identify one behavior that could improve your leadership presence, relationships, credibility, or promotion readiness.How to Get 360-Style Feedback Without a Formal AssessmentYou do not need access to a formal 360 leadership assessment to receive valuable feedback.You can begin by having intentional conversations with your manager, peers, direct reports, mentors, former colleagues, and trusted professional contacts. The key is to speak with people who will offer honest insight rather than simply validate what you already believe.Consider asking questions such as:What is one leadership strength I should continue using?What is one behavior that may be limiting my effectiveness?When have you seen me at my best as a leader?What do I do that may make it harder for people to work with me?What would I need to demonstrate for you to see me as ready for the next level?Do not collect feedback merely to prove that you are doing well. Use it to understand how others experience your leadership and where a small change could create a meaningful difference.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why unclear feedback can create confusion and stall leadership developmentHow 360 assessments reveal leadership strengths and perception gapsWhy leadership is shaped by what people experience, not only by what you intendHow positive but vague feedback can quietly limit career advancementWhy reliability, trust, and busyness are not the same as influence and strategic valueHow defensiveness and poorly delivered feedback prevent meaningful growthHow to decode vague praise that may signal a leadership limitationA step-by-step process for responding to difficult feedbackHow to identify patterns instead of overreacting to one person's opinionHow to gather honest, 360-style input without using a formal assessmentHow changing one behavior can improve your leadership reputation and career opportunitiesBuild the Leadership Reputation You WantThe feedback that frustrates you most may contain the insight you need most.You do not have to agree with every comment you receive. You do need to remain curious about the patterns shaping how others experience you.When you learn how to separate intention from impact, you can make more strategic decisions about how you communicate, lead, and show up at work. That self-awareness can help you strengthen your professional relationships, increase your influence, and position yourself for your next career opportunity.Listen to this episode and identify one perception gap that may be affecting how you are seen when you are not in the room.Bring This Conversation to Your OrganizationI speak to organizations and professional associations about career advancement, leadership effectiveness, communication, and how we SHOW UP at work.If you know an organization that is looking for a keynote speaker or workshop facilitator, I would appreciate an introduction.

I almost never talk about the old stories, but today I'm pulling one back out because I think it might be exactly what you need right now. When I moved to Dallas fresh out of Baylor University with $63 to my name and no real plan, I had one thing going for me: I believed in the person in the mirror. What came next was unglamorous hustle through Craigslist free sections and Half Price Books, and it taught me something I've never forgotten about desperation, discipline, and investing in your future even when you're in survival mode. The real lesson here is not about what I did to survive. It is about why I never stopped building while I was just trying to get by. Key Takeaways Belief in yourself is a strategy. When I had no plan, no money, and no clear path, belief in the person in the mirror was the one asset I held onto that made everything else possible. Plan B is just making sure Plan A works. Do not build an exit strategy out of your own dream. Your fallback should be doubling down on yourself. Desperation and discipline both produce solutions. People who want it badly enough and people who are committed enough will find a way forward even when it is not pretty. Effectiveness matters more than appearance. Stop asking if something looks good and start asking if it works. Unglamorous effort that gets results beats a polished plan that goes nowhere. Even in survival mode, invest in your future. Put a portion of whatever you have toward where you want to go, or you will burn out running a hamster wheel with no destination. Action Steps Look yourself in the mirror today and honestly assess whether there is real fire behind your goal or whether it is just something you say. If the fire is gone, find out why before you take another step. Identify one unglamorous but effective action you can take right now to generate momentum toward your goal, even if it is something you would never post about on social media. Set aside a defined portion of your time or money, even if it is small, and commit it specifically to building your future self rather than just managing your present circumstances. Notable Quote If you truly want it bad enough, if you look yourself in the mirror and you literally see fire in your eyes, you'll find a way. It's not always glamorous, but you'll find a way.

It's June, your tomatoes are climbing, your corn is waist-high, and the internet is full of fertilizing advice—most of it missing the most important variable: timing. In this episode, we dig into what your vegetables need right now at mid-season, why nitrogen timing is the thing most gardeners get wrong, how fruiting crops and leafy crops have completely different needs, and when fertilizing can actually hurt instead of help. We'll cover how to read your plants for deficiency signs, how to side-dress correctly, and why the most common mid-season mistake isn't under-fertilizing—it's fertilizing at the wrong time with the wrong form. Grounded in university extension research and my own experience farming through Missouri summers, this one will give you a clear, crop-by-crop picture of what to do right now. Let's dig in. Crop-by-Crop Quick Reference: Mid-Season Nitrogen Timing LEAFY CROPS (lettuce, kale, chard, spinach, collards, arugula, basil) When to side-dress: 3–4 weeks after transplanting or when 2–3 inches tall; repeat every 4–6 weeks for heavy-harvesting crops Goal: steady nitrogen supply throughout season Note: don't exceed recommended rates—excess nitrogen increases pest/disease vulnerability COLE CROPS (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) When to side-dress: approximately 30 days after transplanting, during active vegetative growth Hold off once head formation begins TOMATOES When to side-dress: when first fruits are approximately one-third grown (golf ball size) DO NOT apply nitrogen at transplant or during early fruit set—drives vegetative growth at expense of fruit Second application: 2 weeks after first ripe fruit; third: 4 weeks later Rate: 0.5 lb actual nitrogen per 100 feet of row per application PEPPERS When to side-dress: early vegetative growth before fruit set Pull back after fruit is setting SWEET CORN When to side-dress: when plants are approximately one-third grown (knee-high) Apply alongside rows, not into the whorl of leaves May benefit from a second application before tasseling CUCUMBERS / SQUASH / MELONS When to side-dress: after vines are well-established and fruit is setting regularly Not during early flowering window For squash with blossom drop only: do not add nitrogen—address pollination instead BEANS / PEAS (inoculated) Mid-season nitrogen side-dressing generally not needed if seeds were inoculated Extra nitrogen causes excessive leaf growth and reduced pod set If not inoculated: apply light nitrogen early in vegetative growth only Side-Dressing How-To Move mulch aside before applying; replace afterward Keep granular fertilizer 4–6 inches from plant stems to prevent burn Work granular into top 1–2 inches of soil Water in after application—nitrogen moves into the root zone with moisture Organic options: blood meal or alfalfa pellets (work in lightly; slower to show results); fish emulsion (liquid, faster uptake, more frequent application needed) Signs of Nutrient Deficiency Nitrogen: yellowing starting on oldest, lowest leaves; stunted or stalled growth Phosphorus: stunted growth; reddish-purple tint in leaf tissue (often triggered by cold soil, not low soil P) Potassium: browning at leaf edges, starting with older leaves Note: many of these symptoms overlap with stress from crowding, insufficient sun, compaction, waterlogged roots, or nematode damage—rule those out first Common Myths Addressed Myth: More fertilizer = more production. The research is clear: overapplied nitrogen causes excess vegetative growth at the expense of fruit, increases pest and disease vulnerability, and leaches into groundwater without benefiting plants. Myth: If plants look off, they need fertilizer. Nutrient deficiency symptoms look almost identical to symptoms of watering problems, compaction, pH issues, root damage, and pest pressure. Identify the actual cause before applying anything. Myth: Tomatoes need nitrogen all season long. Timing matters. Nitrogen during the early fruit-set window drives vegetative growth and reduces yields. Wait until fruit is sizing up before side-dressing. Myth: Beans and peas are heavy feeders like corn. Inoculated legumes fix their own nitrogen from the air. Additional nitrogen pushes leaf growth at the expense of pods.

DOC is on the hunt to take a DNA sample from a dolphin spotted cruising in Northland waters, in order to determine whether it is a Hector's or Maui dolphin. Either would be special, but a Hector's has only been spotted in Northland three times in the past 100 years. University of Auckland Associate professor in biological and marine sciences, Dr Rochelle Constantine spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode, Ryan Steuer challenges the conventional wisdom that leaders need full buy-in before initiating meaningful change. He explores how the quest for consensus often slows down momentum and argues that true buy-in develops from progress, not from waiting for unanimous agreement. Drawing from real-life examples and experience guiding educational leaders, Ryan outlines actionable strategies for moving schools toward student-centered, project-based learning—even in the face of hesitation and imperfect alignment.Main PointsWaiting for 100% consensus often delays or derails important initiatives.Directional alignment—not perfect agreement—gets the ball rolling.Identify and empower early adopters to build momentum and demonstrate success.Progress, transparency, and sharing wins accelerate broader buy-in.Customized implementation plans tailored to each school's unique context drive sustainable change.Sustainable systems and internal capacity are critical for long-term success.Notable Quotes"Consensus becomes a mechanism for delay. And we're just waiting for the perfect storm to happen.""You don't wait for buy-in, you build it. You actually get buy-in or ownership from progress."Call to ActionReady to see where your school system stands and take the next step?

Many association leaders volunteer because they genuinely care about helping their industry grow. The challenge is simple. Most volunteer leaders already have demanding full-time jobs, leaving little time to create new programs, improve member engagement, and think strategically about growth. In this episode of Grounding AI, Donna Peterson shares practical ways leaders can use artificial intelligence to help industry associations work smarter while building stronger member relationships. You will learn how AI can help organizations: • Review and repurpose existing content • Improve outdated webinars, presentations, and educational materials • Create stronger member surveys • Generate better event ideas based on member interests • Identify new audience segments for membership growth • Build stronger engagement through more personalized experiences The goal is not replacing human relationships. The goal is helping volunteer leaders save time so they can focus on building stronger communities. AI works best when it helps organizations think better, communicate better, and serve people better. If you lead an association, nonprofit, membership organization, or volunteer leadership team, this episode will give you practical ideas you can apply immediately.

Are you getting the most out of your RSS feed?To figure out if you are, you first have to understand how a podcast workflow works, which means you need to understand:what an RSS feed ishow you make onewhere you get the best feedand how you make sure you're getting the most out of itDon't Make These MistakesIn this episode, I'm going to explain some of the mistakes I see people making with RSS feeds, especially when it comes to getting the most out of transcripts. In some cases, people aren't putting their transcripts into their media host, which means their transcripts aren't going into their feed. That is not something the best way to maximize your show.Where Do I Get an RSS Feed?Your RSS feed comes from your media host. For me, the best RSS feeds come from dedicated media hosts. Places like Captivate, Buzzsprout, rss.com, and Blubrry. All of these do one thing: they host your files, they provide an RSS feed, and they provide statistics.Make Sure Your Transcripts are In Your RSS FeedWhile having transcripts on your website is good, you are missing another opportunity by having them in your feed (which can be used in Podcast apps). When it comes to Podpage, having the transcript in your feed put it into a place where Podpage can grab it and put it on your site.Don't Hire Your Dentist to Work On Your CarOther places like Riverside are trying to be a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. I don't want someone who's not a master of the RSS feed. The RSS feed is like the blood in your veins; it is your veins, and you don't want your veins to be Scotch-taped together. You want an RSS feed that is fully compatible with all the features available for podcasters.Directing People To Your SiteWhen I recently tested Riverisde, you could not direct people at the episode level to your site. This is a missed opportunity.This means that, when somebody is consuming your content in an app, usually there is a link to go to the website, which takes them to, (if you're doing it correctly) your website. On the episode page, I'm offering the ability to follow the show easily on Spotify, Apple, Pocket Cast, etc. If you don't have that link, you're missing an opportunity to send the audience where you want them to go. I need to email Riverside because this just reeks of a company who doesn't really understand podcasting getting into podcasting. Consequently, I know it's nice to have everything under one login, but how hard is it to login to more than one account (especially if you have 1password).No RSS No PodcastPeople keep asking what a podcast is. I'm not sure why. It's audio, video delivered via RSS. This means YouTube is not a podcast. It's a show. Radio is not TV. Both are content. When we blur the definition it messes up all of our reports. People have asked, "Well, the audience thinks YouTube is a podcast are we supposed to tell them they are wrong?" The answer is yes.Then we could have separate reports on YouTube vs Podcasts.If someone hears me listening to the band Sum 41, and says, "I love blink 182," I would say, "That's not Sum 41, it's blink 182. You're helping them not look stupid in the future. You would do the same thing if they called a banana an apple.Other Hosts I Don't RecommendSpotify: From their lying to their original partners, to making features that only work inside of Spotify (ignoring the open podcast system), and often eliminating features shrtly after they launch (never worldwide). I could go on for hours. Yes, it's free but so is RSS, Buzzsprout, and Red Circle.Soundcloud: Soundcloud, to the best of my knowledge hasn't implement features that were introduced in 2017. You can buy soundcloud plays (Google it) so consquentially you will never have sponsors while you use Soundcloud.Mailbag: AMP 30 Second RuleThanks to Mark for pushing back on my math. In the end (as of this date) AMP can't decide what their definition is (As they've already changed it). Also one of their "hidden" companies was YouTube. I'm sorry, if you're not doing anything wrong, why are you doing it in secret?Defined in their original press release as “30 seconds of content played, audio or video, once per user per session”, the corrected text drops any definition of a session length, becoming just “30 seconds of content played, audio or video”. - source Podnews.Mailbag: How Are Your Updating Your Question of the Month?Rob from Softball Central asked how I was having the current question of the month appear in episodes that are years old. For the last two years I've hosted on Captivate. I love their business model (Multiple shows for the same price - and their super flexible dynamic content system). Dynamic content doesn't always have to be ads.

Temptation is everywhere. In fact, it may be lurking in places that we are not even aware of. Let's put this in perspective: Who do you claim to be? If you answered that you claim to be a Christian, then the next question is, who do you serve and in whose footsteps are you therefore to walk? Our answers should be that we serve God and are walking in the footsteps of Jesus our Lord! Now here's the test: Let's think about our associations, our work or school environments, our friends, the shows we watch, the influencers we follow, the music we listen to and the posts we make and read. Where are all these things drawing our minds to? What percentage of all these things are in exact alignment with God our Father and Jesus our Lord? Think! Be honest! You see, temptation IS everywhere! How to identify temptation? It doesn't always arrive with flashing lights or obvious danger. More often, it begins quietly—like a seed dropped into the “soil” of our hearts. What matters most is what we do with those seeds. Left unattended, they can take root and pull us off course. But when recognized early, they can be uprooted before they grow into something that harms our spiritual life. The New Testament describes temptation as a proving ground—a pressure that reveals what is already inside us. That pressure can either weaken us or build us, depending on the desires we allow to take root. Even Jesus faced temptation, showing us that the battle itself is not sin. The danger comes when desire is fed, entertained, or justified. Whether it's the “lust of the flesh,” the “lust of the eyes,” or the “pride of life,” temptation always begins with something that looks appealing and promises more than it can deliver. Because temptation is subtle, how to identify temptation becomes our first line of defense. We're called to examine our thoughts, emotions and habits with honesty. Are they drawing us closer to God or quietly nudging us away? Scripture encourages us to “submit to God,” “resist the devil,” and “draw near” to the One who provides strength and clarity. When we recognize the early signs, remove ourselves from compromising environments and reassess our emotional state, we create space for God to reshape our responses and strengthen our character. Temptation is universal—but so is God's faithfulness. With humility, vigilance, and a willingness to grow, we can face temptation with confidence and shut it down before it takes root. Key Takeaways • Temptation begins as a seed—often subtle and easily overlooked. • Desire is the catalyst. Temptation gains power only when it connects with something inside us. • Awareness, honesty and early action are essential to stopping temptation before it grows. • Scripture provides a clear process: submit to God, resist the devil, draw near and reshape our responses. • God always provides strength, clarity and a way of escape for those who seek Him.

Episode Summary:In this message, Pastor Brad continues The Gospel Of series by teaching on the gospel of the Kingdom. Using Mark 1:14-15, he shows that Jesus did not only come to secure heaven for us later; He came as King, bringing a present Kingdom that gives believers purpose, authority, and power now. This message invites us to repent from performance-based thinking, believe what Jesus has finished, and live as people who carry His righteousness, peace, and joy into the world around us.Main Scripture:Mark 1:14-15Isaiah 9Ephesians 2:10Big Idea:The gospel of the Kingdom is the good news that Jesus is King, His Kingdom is present now, and believers are empowered to live from His authority and purpose.In This Episode:Why the gospel is more than a message of salvation later and includes purpose, identity, authority, and life in Christ now.How Jesus preached the Kingdom of God and announced that the Kingdom is at hand because the King has come.Why repentance means changing the way we think, especially when we drift back into performance, fear, pressure, or religious striving.How the Kingdom of God confronts the ways of the world by serving instead of forcing, humbling instead of dominating, and transforming hearts instead of merely changing appearances.Why the Kingdom must never be separated from the King, because principles may change behavior, but only Jesus changes the heart.How the Kingdom reveals purpose and empowers believers to bless others, change environments, and walk out the good works God prepared for them.Reflection Questions:Have I understood the gospel mostly as going to heaven later, while missing the Kingdom purpose Jesus gives me now?Where do I need to repent from old ways of thinking rooted in performance, pressure, fear, or self-effort?Am I trying to advance God's Kingdom with old kingdom methods such as force, control, image management, or comparison?Do I see the Kingdom as a present reality, or have I pushed it off until heaven or the afterlife?Where do I need to stop asking God to do what He has already empowered me to walk in through Christ?Have I made the Kingdom more about principles than about the King?What environment has God placed me in where I can bring righteousness, peace, joy, encouragement, patience, and love?Next Steps:Read Mark 1:14-15 this week and ask God to renew how you think about His Kingdom.Identify one area where you have been living from performance, and choose to trust the finished work of Jesus instead.Pray, “Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven,” over your home, workplace, family, and daily responsibilities.Look for one practical way to serve someone this week as a reflection of the upside-down Kingdom of Jesus.Stop carrying the pressure of being the center of your world, and intentionally make your life about the King.Walk into one environment this week believing that Christ in you can make it better because you are carrying His life and power.Closing Line:Listen in, share this message with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe for more gospel-centered teaching from The Gospel Unfiltered.

The practice of people self-identifying as Indigenous has come into sharp focus after a number of high-profile cases of “pretendians” claiming to be Indigenous without evidence. However, far less attention has been given to Indigenous people being wrongly labelled as pretendians. In a recent article for Policy Options, Debbie Martin argues that the rush for Indigenous identity policies at universities has led to people with legitimate claims to Indigeneity being swept up in policies that will cause lasting harm. Debbie Martin is Inuk and a member of Nunatukavut. She is a professor in the school of health and human performance at Dalhousie University and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples' health and well-being. We spoke in November.

God wants that best for us! Jeremiah 29:11 speaks of that! For the plans He has for us is to prosper us not hinder us. Yet, oftentimes we encounter spiritual roadblocks in life that can either benefit us or stagnate us depending on how we handle them. We can either let go and let God or hold on and dig ourselves into a deeper situation. And even then, through Christ, we can still come out victorious, but it takes denial of self.Ultimately, Our Heavenly Father wants us to be spiritually healthy, faith filled, and obedient to His purpose and plan for our lives. 3 John 1:2 tells us this very thing. "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers". That includes every obstacle or spiritual roadblock that we will ever encounter. Afterall, Jesus paid the unrepayable price so that we can live righteously, victoriously, and experience eternal life.Series: How To Identify Your Spiritual Roadblocks

The person you turn to on your worst day isn't the funniest or the smartest. They're the one who makes you feel understood. That skill has a name: super communicator. And according to research, it's not a personality trait. It's a set of learnable habits. The same way anyone can learn to read. Charles Duhigg is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection. He spent years studying what separates the people we love talking to from everyone else, and what he found will change how you walk into every conversation. Every discussion is actually three conversations layered on top of each other: a practical one, an emotional one, and a social one. When you're having a different one than the person across from you, connection breaks down before it even starts. Super communicators know how to identify which conversation is happening and match it. They also ask 10 to 20 times more questions than the average person. Not to interrogate, but to signal: I'm here. I'm listening. You matter.

One of the deepest beliefs driving people pleasing is this — if someone reacts badly it must be because of something I did wrong. But other people's reactions belong to them. Their disappointment, their anger, their withdrawal — those are their emotions to manage, not yours to prevent. In today's episode, Celeste draws a clear line between what is yours to own and what was never yours to carry in the first place. Today's shift: Identify one reaction from someone in your life that you've been taking responsibility for — and practice giving it back to them today.

You're not just a people pleaser. You're running a survival response your nervous system learned to keep you safe. Most of us were taught that being agreeable, flexible, and endlessly giving was a virtue. Meg Josephson, a licensed psychotherapist and author of the New York Times bestselling book Are You Mad At Me?, says that pattern is actually a trauma response, and it's running your relationships, your sense of self, and your inner world without you even realizing it. The fawn response is the fourth threat response, alongside fight, flight, and freeze. It's the one we never get punished for. We get applauded. And that applause is exactly what makes it so hard to break. Meg breaks down the six archetypes it can take: the peacekeeper, the performer, the perfectionist, the chameleon, the caretaker, and the lone wolf. What it costs you isn't just your time or your boundaries. It's your identity. When you spend years morphing yourself to be liked in every room, you stop knowing what you actually want, feel, or believe. Meg went to a store after college and realized she didn't know her own favorite color. That's the depth of self-erasure people pleasing creates. The path out starts with one counterintuitive skill: learning to tolerate discomfort. Not fixing, not performing, not self-optimizing. Just pausing long enough to notice what's happening beneath the fawn response, and choosing something different. Are You Mad At Me?

Reclaiming Independence   What if the thing holding you back isn’t the possibility of falling, but the fear of what happens if you do? As amputees, we talk a lot about mobility, prosthetics, and recovery. But there is one challenge that often doesn't get enough attention: the fear of falling. In this week's episode of BAWarrior Podcast, I share my own experiences as an above-knee amputee and explore how fear can quietly limit our lives if we allow it to take control. The truth is, for many of us, the fear of falling isn't really about the fall itself. It's about everything we think might happen afterward. We worry about losing confidence, losing independence, or proving our fears right. We wonder what other people will think if we stumble. We question whether we're strong enough to keep going.     I've been an amputee for more than seven years, and I have fallen while learning new skills, while using my running blade, and while pushing myself beyond my comfort zone. Even today, there are moments when fear tries to creep in and convince me to play it safe. But I've learned something important: the more we avoid challenges because we're afraid of falling, the smaller our world becomes. Fear doesn't just stop us from taking a step. It can stop us from living.     Throughout this episode, I share how I learned to trust my prosthesis, build confidence through repetition, and move beyond the fear that so many new amputees experience. I discuss the importance of physical therapy, consistent practice, and creating safe opportunities to challenge yourself little by little. Confidence isn't built overnight. It comes from showing up every day, taking one more step, and proving to yourself that you can do hard things. One of the greatest lessons I've learned is that the best parts of life often exist on the other side of fear. Whether it was learning to run, trying adaptive sports, surfing for the first time, or simply trusting my body again after amputation, every meaningful milestone required me to face uncertainty and keep moving forward anyway.     If you're struggling with fear—whether it's fear of falling, fear of failure, fear of judgment, or fear of the unknown—I want you to know you're not alone. Every amputee faces these challenges in some form. The key is not waiting until fear disappears. The key is taking action despite it.     This week's Warrior Challenge is simple: What fear is holding you back right now? Identify it. Acknowledge it. Then take one small step toward facing it this week. Remember, courage isn't the absence of fear. It's moving forward in spite of it. You are stronger than you realize. Don't stop before you give yourself the chance to prove it. Keep moving forward, warriors.   And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!!   Much love,

In this episode of the Lead Ministry Podcast, Josh Denhart and Vance Martin from Slingshot Group introduce a powerful framework for leading up: the Four P's. Every senior leader filters decisions through a primary lens — People, Progress, Pennies, or Process — and learning to speak that language is the difference between getting a yes and getting shut down. If you've ever made a great pitch and watched your leader's eyes glaze over, this episode will give you the diagnostic tool you've been missing. Key Topics CoveredThe People Lens – Driven by stories, transformation, and life changeThe Progress Lens – Driven by vision, growth, and taking the hillThe Pennies Lens – Driven by stewardship and return on investmentThe Process Lens – Driven by systems, fairness, and precedent Key Quote“You're using the wrong key for the lock. You're not going to unlock the door.” Scripture ReferencesProverbs 16:21 – The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction1 Corinthians 9:22 – Becoming all things to all peopleColossians 4:6 – Let your conversation be full of grace, seasoned with salt TakeawayYour leader isn't blocking you. They're filtering for what they value most. Identify their lens, reframe your pitch through their language, and you'll start hearing yes more often than no.

Pedicures and massages aren't cutting the mustard anymore. Society is crying out for self care. How can we fill our cups to continue supporting our families? In May Planning Day, I thought about what I wanted to do for my own self care. Sometimes it's the smallest things but we don't realize doing that thing would fill your cup. So I am sharing my ideas in this episode.  10 Self Care Ideas  10. Get time outside doing what you enjoy - for me I will be enjoying our deck, our back yard, and sunsets 9.  CEO Days - I will take time, once a month on a Monday, to plan how I will take care of myself, run my home, and have peace of mind because I had focused thinking and planned. 8. Identify and Protect project time - once I realized a 4 hour chunk of time on Saturdays for projects, I have protected it to keep it for myself. 7. Exercise - you get old due to lack of movement. I don't want that. I want a healthy body to support me into my 100's. 6. Have Strategic Time with Humans - those people you want to spend time with. Make calendar dates to keep your marriage strong, see friends, support your children in a way that is gratifying to you, and whoever else you want to catch up with. 5. Learn - I got a book series I loved in the past. I plan to devour it this summer. But think about what you like and get books reserved, podcasts downloaded, order books through amazon, put together your watch list on your preferred streaming service. Like what would you like to learn about? 4. Try New Foods - I have my chicken salad meal but I am thinking about exploring alternatives. But maybe you like to cook? Or maybe you are wanting to eat healthier, what does that look like for you? I will also be setting the habit to meal prep on Sundays.  3. Personal Reset - Go through your personal spaces like your closet, bathroom, or nightstand and decide if the things in there are supporting where you are going and who you are becoming. Discard or donate the rest. 2. Medical Deep Dive - I have a feeling most will skip this one but I am all about my medical binder this summer. I want to see where there are well test gaps and get the screening or baseline numbers from the tests I have avoided. We don't let our kids skip these things so why do we skip them for ourselves?  AND NUMBER ONE: Join Escaping Quicksand Self Care Retreat! You can join in person or virtually.
