The Study Skills Handbook: How to Ace Tests, Get Straight A's, and Succeed in School (Learning how to Learn Book 17) By: Peter HollinsHear it Here - https://bit.ly/StudySkillsHollinshttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B099QWGNNGThis video delves into effective studying techniques drawn from "The Study Skills Handbook: How to Ace Tests, Get Straight As, and Succeed in School" by Peter Hollins. Learn how to make your study sessions fun, easy, and successful. We'll discuss Chapter 2 topics including subject mastery, teaching others, and The Learning Pyramid. Discover the power of The Protégé Effect in enhancing your learning experience. Join us as we unravel these valuable strategies to help you reach your academic goals."Studying Techniques: Unlocking Your Full Potential - Study Skills Handbook"**Tags/Keywords:**- Study Skills Handbook- Peter Hollins- Studying Techniques- Subject Mastery- Teaching Others- Learning Pyramid- Protégé Effect**Learning Through Teaching:**- Deepens our understanding and retention- Discovers richer appreciation for concepts- Effective strategy to improve recall and comprehension**The Protégé Effect:**- Students who teach others perform better- Incremental learning, responsibility, egoprotection**Analogies in Teaching:**- Powerful tools for conveying new concepts- Use various analogies for different topics- Clarify purpose and reserve them for complex ideasJoin us as we delve into the fascinating world of learning through teaching. Discover how this approach deepens our understanding, enhances recall, and leads to better comprehension. We'll explore the protégé effect, a phenomenon where students who teach others thrive in their academic journey. Lastly, we'll unpack the power of analogies in teaching – an essential tool for effectively conveying new concepts. Stay tuned as we dive into these topics and more! • By learning to teach others, we deepen our own understanding and retention, since we uncover a richer and more fundamental appreciation of the concepts behind the material. Compared to other strategies, teaching others may have the highest chance of improving recall and comprehension. • The protégé effect is the observation that students who teach others do better, perhaps because they learn incrementally, take responsibility for the learning process, and are “ego-protected” from the prospect of failure. • Analogies, examples, and metaphors are powerful tools to convey new concepts. To use them effectively in teaching/learning, make use of as many different analogies as possible and mix them in frequently, using examples to illustrate. Only use those analogies that actually work (i.e. don't forget their purpose) and reserve them more complex topics, since they may only confuse simpler ideas. **Key Takeaways:**- Teaching others deepens your own understanding and retention of concepts- The protégé effect: students who teach others perform better- Use analogies, examples, and metaphors to convey new concepts effectively - Use multiple analogies for complex topics - Avoid confusing simpler ideas with overly complex analogies**Additional Notes:**- Teaching others enhances learning experience- Protégé effect: students take responsibility and are protected from failure- Analogies provide effective illustrations, but use them wisely.

The sisters are ecstatic to build with writer, activist and historian Rebecca Solnit. Her latest book is No Straight Road Takes You There: Essays on Uneven Terrain.They talk about how solidarity is always across difference and about the things we have in common mattering more then the things we don't, how liberation is contagious, prioritizing where to pour our energy, a politics of inseparability vs. the politics of division, our default response of turning towards each other in a crisis, how it turns out that even when your world has fallen apart you can light up with joy because you found the meaning and connection that's been missing in everyday life, a world with an abundance of time and security rather than abundance as neoliberal rhetoric, how there's no shortage of anything, just distribution problems, hunkering down for the likely reality of climate collapse and how we can't save everything but that doesn't mean we can't save anything.---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TRANSCRIPT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT OUR SHOW⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow---HTS ESSENTIALS⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT Our Show on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Endoftheworldshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠PEEP us on IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/endoftheworldpc/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week on the show, Marit Chervier de Ruiter brings her expertise in combining commercial structure with psychoanalytical principles to help businesses achieve long-lasting results in negotiation and sales. We dig into the critical differences between negotiation strategy and tactics, Marit shares game-changing tips for high-stakes negotiations, and how to cultivate stronger, more collaborative relationships with clients. She also shares her top dos and don'ts in negotiation and offers a real-world example of navigating a challenging deal with grace and success. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Build value step-by-step in negotiations to create stronger long-term relationships. [05:33] Know your audience, predict reactions, and stay agile. [06:48] Choose negotiation strategy based on relationship: competitive for one-off deals, collaborative for long-term relationships. [12:03] Be cautious about sharing too much information in negotiations to prevent the other party from using it against you. [10:13] Marit's top three negotiation dos and don'ts. [13:44] A real-life scenario where Marit's informal strategy resets the negotiation tone. Strategies and Tactics for High-Stakes Sales Your strategy is your overall plan: the “why” and “what” behind your negotiations. It's about defining your end goal and determining the outcomes you hope to achieve. Tactics, on the other hand, are the practical steps and techniques you employ during the negotiation—the “how” that helps implement your strategy. Marit brilliantly uses the analogy of the board game Risk. Your strategy might be to conquer the most territories in Asia, but your specific moves—where to place armies, which battles to pick—constitute your tactics. This symbiotic relationship between strategy and tactics is at the heart of effective negotiation. Incremental Value Creation as a Powerful Negotiation Strategy When entering high-stakes deals, Marit's go-to strategy is incremental value creation. Rather than rushing in to claim as much as possible, she advocates for building value collaboratively and step by step. This approach aims to expand the “pie” for all involved, rather than fighting for the largest slice of a smaller one. Incremental value creation doesn't just lead to higher deal outcomes—it also lays the groundwork for strong, long-term relationships. As Marit notes, being able to foster trust and collaboration through this approach is just as important as the immediate value of the deal itself. Tactics for Gaining Leverage in Complex Deals Marit's experience has equipped her with three favorite negotiation tactics that consistently deliver results: Giver's Gain & Reciprocity: By giving value upfront, you trigger the powerful psychological principle of reciprocity. When you offer something, the other side is often compelled—sometimes unconsciously—to give in return. The Power of Silence: Marit emphasizes that listening is critical. Silence can be uncomfortable, leading others to fill the gap with information. The insights gained from simply listening can be incredibly valuable in steering negotiations. Never Go Alone: In high-stakes negotiations, going as a team allows you to multitask during meetings—you can observe nonverbal clues, take notes, listen attentively, and strategize in real time. Solo negotiators simply can't do it all; teamwork is a tactical advantage. Collaborative vs. Competitive Approaches Marit highlights the importance of tailoring your negotiation strategy to the context. If you're pursuing a one-time transaction, a more competitive stance may suffice. But if you're aiming for a long-term relationship, collaboration and value creation take precedence. However, what if your counterpart takes a competitive approach despite your collaborative intentions? Marit's advice: acknowledge the approach, reset the tone, and strive to steer the discussion toward shared value rather than mere positional bargaining. Marit wraps up the episode with a real-world example: facing a key client who violated a contract but remained strategically vital. Instead of severing ties, her team reset the relationship through informal conversation before formal negotiation, split roles as “good cop, bad cop,” and found a mutually acceptable solution. The outcome? A salvaged relationship and a creative, trust-based agreement.

As we work on our new season of Becoming the Vision, we're thrilled to feature an episode from the new podcast, Nonprofits Now: Leading Today from the good folks at The Chronicle of Philanthropy. SUBSCRIBE TODAY!--As nonprofit leaders grapple with increasingly dire threats to their funding and missions, it's more important than ever to understand what it takes to lead resilient organizations.For a look at what skills are most important, we hear from Vanessa Priya Daniel, who interviewed 45 social-justice leaders for her new book, Unrig the Game: What Women of Color Can Teach Everyone About Winning.Daniel combines her extensive research for the book with her own experiences as an organizer and founder of Groundswell Fund and Groundswell Action Fund — which together have distributed more than $100 million to over 200 organizations led by women of color and transgender people.In a conversation with Chronicle CEO Stacy Palmer, Daniel says her interviews led her to identify three all successful change agents possessed: • Bold ideas. Incremental solutions don't add up to enough to solve the tremendous challenges of today and tomorrow.  • Generosity. Daniel says an “ethos of rising by lifting others” is what makes the women she interviewed successful. • 360-degree vision. There's never just one cause of a problem that's complex and worth solving.---You can find a video version of this episode at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugOjpCJ3ChE&t=81sNonprofits Now: Leading Today is hosted by Stacy Palmer. It's produced by Emily Haynes at the Chronicle of Philanthropy and from Reasonable Volume, Mary Dooe is the producer, Mark Bush is our engineer, and Rachel Swaby and Elise Hu are executive producers. Additional support comes from Margie Fleming Glennon, Andrew Simon, Nick Adams, Krista Niles, Amaya Beltran, and Kyle Johnson.

Summary The conversation covers various themes including the dangers of social media trends like the door kicking challenge, reflections on Independence Day, the impact of overprotective parenting on youth behavior, and ongoing discussions about gun control and the NRA's role in advocating for Second Amendment rights. The speakers emphasize the need for personal responsibility among youth and the importance of political engagement to protect civil liberties. Takeaways Social media trends can lead to dangerous behaviors among youth. The door kicking challenge poses serious risks to homeowners and participants. Independence Day serves as a reminder of the importance of freedom and rights. Overprotective parenting may hinder children's ability to learn from risks. The NRA is undergoing changes to strengthen its advocacy for gun rights. Political engagement is crucial to counteract leftist agendas. Youth need to understand the consequences of their actions. Gun control discussions highlight the ongoing battle for Second Amendment rights. The importance of community and parental involvement in youth activities. Incremental wins in legislation can lead to larger victories for civil rights.

In this episode of 21st Century Water, we sit down with Matt Stouder, Executive Officer of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) in Oregon, to explore how his leadership is driving operational resilience, environmental stewardship, and innovative thinking in wastewater management. We begin by learning how Matt's rural upbringing and early exposure to water chemistry inspired a lifelong commitment to environmental protection and public service. His path from stormwater engineering to leading a regional utility reflects a deep-rooted belief in stewardship, collaboration, and giving back to the community.We then dive into the scale and structure of MWMC, which serves about 275,000 residents across Eugene and Springfield. Despite owning over $500 million in assets and operating a major treatment plant with a peak capacity of 277 MGD, the commission itself has no employees and operates through intergovernmental agreements—Springfield handles the administration and capital projects, and Eugene manages the operations. Matt emphasizes how strategic coordination is key to balancing daily operations with long-term capital investments, especially as the infrastructure ages.We discuss MWMC's shift from expansion to asset renewal, including a strong focus on asset management and funding strategies. Incremental rate increases and a rate stabilization fund have helped buffer financial volatility, allowing the utility to maintain steady investment without burdening ratepayers. Matt also shares MWMC's approach to innovation through projects like the biocycle farm, where biosolids are applied to hybrid poplar trees for local reuse, and a renewable natural gas facility that generates new revenue streams while reducing emissions.Communication and education emerge as central themes. From community partnerships and public outreach at local fairs to an award-winning Clean Water University program for fifth graders, MWMC prioritizes transparency and awareness. Matt's engineering background doesn't limit his commitment to public engagement; instead, it reinforces it.As we shift to environmental goals, Matt outlines how MWMC embraces a circular economy mindset. Instead of costly infrastructure like chillers, the utility addresses thermal pollution by planting trees along the McKenzie River, effectively reducing river temperatures while supporting watershed health. He also highlights how climate change is affecting local precipitation patterns, forcing the utility to adjust infrastructure capacity and operational readiness.Looking ahead, Matt is focused on a $300 million infrastructure renewal plan, transforming biosolids into a higher-value Class A product, and potentially expanding MWMC's services to nearby communities through regionalization. He views himself as a custodian of the system, aiming to leave the utility stronger than he found it and prepared for the next generation.More:Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC): https://www.mwmcpartners.orgOregon Association of Clean Water Agencies (ORACWA): https://oracwa.orgNorthwest Natural Gas (NW Natural): https://www.nwnatural.comWillamette Riverkeeper: https://www.willametteriverkeeper.orgNational Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA): https://www.nacwa.orgPacific Northwest Clean Water Association (PNCWA): https://www.pncwa.org Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

In the world of motor encoders, there are two main types – incremental and absolute. Incremental encoders do not retain their actual position upon power-up, whereas absolute encoders do. They both give position feedback, which the motion controller can use to calculate velocity, acceleration and jerk. These parameters are necessary for a fully capable motion control system. In this episode of Control Intelligence, written by Joey Stubbs, editor in chief Mike Bacidore discusses absolute encoders.

What if the secret to transforming your life isn't found in radical changes or overnight success stories, but in the power of small, consistent actions? In this episode of As the Leader Grows, I'm excited to share the philosophy that helped me lose nearly 100 pounds of body fat and build a thriving business ecosystem - "incremental, not monumental." This powerful concept reminds us that small, daily, disciplined decisions over time always equal monumental results.Drawing from my personal health journey that began five years ago when I weighed over 300 pounds, I reveal how this mindset shift has become the cornerstone of my success. You'll discover my exact morning routine that sets each day up for success - from worship and Bible study to intentional goal-setting and affirmations that rewire your thinking.I share the surprising practice that's been fundamental to my success: writing down my goals twice daily, which means I'm focusing on my vision at least 600 times each year. This level of consistency is what separates those who achieve their dreams from those who merely wish for change.Whether you're struggling with health challenges, building a business, or seeking personal growth, this episode will equip you with practical wisdom to implement the power of incremental habits in your own life.

rwh10may Ep.363 – Run With Horses Podcast – A Growth Mindset for Disciple Makers Podcast: rwh.podbean.com Website: www.runwithhorses.net Youtube: https://youtube.com/@rwhpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RWHpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rwh_podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcast Author pages with links to all books on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BCSDDVLB – James Norman Smith https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BMGW51FW – Susan Jane Smith   1. The Growth Mindset in a Christian Context Paul challenged believers to put effort into their spiritual life. Change is a part of growth and we should desire to be more like Jesus. A Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit who is working to make us like Jesus. Change will happen. The joy is that we can embrace it and benefit from working with God instead of against Him. A growth-minded believer: Welcomes challenges as opportunities for sanctification (James 1:2–4 NKJV). Perseveres under trial, knowing endurance produces spiritual maturity (Romans 5:3–5 NKJV). Seeks feedback and correction, recognizing rebuke refines faith (Proverbs 27:17 NKJV; Proverbs 12:1 NKJV). Celebrates others' growth, rejoicing when fellow believers flourish (Romans 12:15 NKJV). 2. Discipleship and the Great Commission Jesus' charge to “make disciples” frames our growth-oriented calling: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:19–20 (NKJV) A growth mindset fuels the “teaching” phase: we believe learners can grow in knowledge, obedience, and Christ-likeness. It also shapes our own approach, as we accept that our skills in evangelism, teaching, and mentoring improve through practice, prayer, and reliance on God. 3. Spiritual Growth is a Process Scripture depicts growth as a journey: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” —2 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection…” —Hebrews 6:1 (NKJV) “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” —Philippians 3:14 (NKJV) These passages underscore that maturity takes intentional effort—exactly the outworking of a growth mindset in the spiritual realm. 4. The “One Another's” and Growth Mindset Command Scripture (NKJV) Growth-Mindset Connection Love one another John 13:34–35 Encourages perseverance in relationships even when hard. Serve one another Galatians 5:13 Builds humility and stewards gifts for others' growth. Encourage one another 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Puts others first. Admonish one another Colossians 3:16; Romans 15:14 Welcomes correction for mutual sanctification. Bear one another's burdens Galatians 6:2 Cultivates perseverance and compassion. Spur one another on Hebrews 10:24 Motivates toward good deeds and spiritual progress. Pray for one another James 5:16 Invites God's transforming power in growth. Be kind and tenderhearted Ephesians 4:32 Gives mercy to those who need it, we all do! Together, these “one another's” form the relational soil in which a growth mindset flourishes—each believer both a learner and a teacher, giving and receiving grace, correction, encouragement, and accountability. 5. Practical Implications for Disciple Makers Model a growth mindset by sharing your own struggles and progress in Bible study, prayer, or ministry skills. Set incremental goals for disciples (e.g., memorizing Scripture, leading a small group), celebrating small wins to build confidence (Zechariah 4:10 NKJV). Cultivate “one another” rhythms in your church—regular accountability groups, prayer partnerships, and service teams. Teach the biblical process of growth—explain that sanctification involves trials, correction, and perseverance, rooted in passages like James 1:2–4 (NKJV) and Hebrews 12:11 (NKJV). Encourage reflection—have disciples journal progress, confess weaknesses, and plan next steps, reinforcing that effort and dependence on Christ yield transformation.   **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2**   The Holy Spirit reshapes how we think about challenges, our own abilities, and the process of sanctification. 1. Confess Fixed-Mindset Thinking and Renew Your Mind “I can't change,” “I can't do that.” and the like are big hinderances to spiritual growth. Lies need to be brought into the light and exchanged for truth. The question should be, “What is God doing? What does HE want me to do?” God empowers His people for His work. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” —Romans 12:2 (NKJV) Practice: Keep a “mindset journal.” When you catch yourself thinking “I'll never grow in this,” write it down and pray: “Lord, show me Your truth here.” Replace it with a Scriptural affirmation (“I can grow by God's grace”—Philippians 4:13). 2. Meditate on God's Word Daily A growth mindset flourishes when immersed in truth. Scripture both reveals God's power to change us and gives the roadmap. Read, Think Deeply about,and put it into practice. “…but his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.” —Psalm 1:2 (NKJV) Practice: Start with 5–10 minutes each morning reading a short passage (e.g. one chapter of Proverbs or the Gospels). Ask: “What does this teach me about God's promise to strengthen me?” 3. Pray for Wisdom and Perseverance Growth requires divine enablement—both insight and the grit to keep going. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally…” —James 1:5 (NKJV) “Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.” —James 1:2–3 (NKJV) Practice: Begin each day by asking God for wisdom to see opportunities for growth and the patience to endure them. When trials come (at work, in relationships, in ministry), thank Him for the refining work He intends. 4. Engage in Christian Community Even if attendance has been spotty, intentional fellowship is vital for encouragement, accountability, and skill development. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another…” —Hebrews 10:24–25 (NKJV) “As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” —Proverbs 27:17 (NKJV) Practice: Commit to attending at least one fellowship gathering (Sunday service, small group, men's/women's Bible study). Ask a mature believer to meet monthly as a “growth partner” for prayer and feedback. 5. Set Small, Measurable Goals for Spiritual Disciplines SMART goals Growth rarely happens overnight. Incremental victories build confidence that God can grow you further. “For who has despised the day of small things?…” —Zechariah 4:10 (NKJV) Practice: Choose one discipline (e.g., Scripture memory, daily prayer journaling, service) and set a tiny goal: memorize one verse a week, pray five minutes daily, serve once a month. Celebrate each completion by recording it in your journal and thanking God. 6. Welcome Correction and Feedback A growth mindset leans into rebuke, knowing it produces maturity. “The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.” —Proverbs 15:31 (NKJV) “But exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” —Hebrews 3:13 (NKJV) Practice: Invite a trusted mentor or friend to give you honest feedback on your spiritual habits. When you receive correction, respond with “Thank you—help me understand how to improve.” 7. Practice Gratitude and Celebrate Others' Growth Focusing on progress—both yours and others'—reinforces a mindset that abilities can expand. “Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.” —Romans 12:15 (NKJV) “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” —1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV) Practice: Keep a “gratitude list” of spiritual wins you see in yourself and others. Send a quick note or text to encourage a fellow believer when they share a breakthrough. 8. Rely on God's Strength in Weakness A growth mindset isn't self-reliance; it's dependence on Christ, who is at work in us. “…when I am weak, then I am strong.” —2 Corinthians 12:10 (NKJV) Practice: In moments of discouragement (“I failed again…”), confess your weakness and ask Christ to work through it. Memorize 2 Corinthians 12:9–10 and speak it aloud whenever you feel stuck.     **(5:00 – 1:00)** Doctrine Today Jesus and His Present Ministry The Holy Spirit's Role in Disciple Making. Dispensational Baptist view of the End Times Understanding Theology is Important The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making Church Role in Discerning God's Will Barriers to Disciple Making Spiritual Warfare Jesus – Incarnation God's Sovereignty God's sovereignty means that God reigns over all things with perfect wisdom, power, and love, and nothing in our lives is outside His control. 1. God's Sovereignty Brings Peace in Uncertainty When life feels chaotic or unjust, God's sovereignty assures us that nothing happens apart from His knowledge or plan. “The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.” —Psalm 103:19 (NKJV) “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” —Romans 8:28 (NKJV) Why it matters: Even suffering and confusion have purpose under God's rule. He's not reacting—He's reigning. 2. God's Sovereignty Fuels Evangelism and Disciple-Making Because God is sovereign over salvation, we can evangelize boldly, knowing He draws hearts to Himself. “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.” —John 6:37 (NKJV) “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…” —John 6:44 (NKJV) Why it matters: The results of disciple-making aren't on your shoulders. You sow and water; God gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6–7 NKJV). 3. God's Sovereignty Grounds Our Identity and Purpose You are not random. You are created, saved, and called intentionally. “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.” —Psalm 139:16 (NKJV) “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” —Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) Why it matters: Your life, your calling, and even your challenges are part of God's good and sovereign plan. 4. God's Sovereignty Produces Worship and Humility When we recognize God is in control and we are not, we bow in awe and dependence. “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all.” —1 Chronicles 29:11 (NKJV) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. —Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) Why it matters: Sovereignty reminds us that God is God—and we are not. 5. God's Sovereignty Guarantees His Promises Will Stand We can believe God's Word with full assurance because no power can thwart His will. “Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?” —Isaiah 43:13 (NKJV) “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.” —Psalm 33:11 (NKJV) Why it matters: Our eternal hope is secure because it rests in God's unshakable rule.   **(1:00)** It's important for all of us to see the big picture in life. God IS working and He WILL complete His work in you. Daily remind yourself that God is drawing you to Himself and He invites you to be an active participant in your spiritual growth. Reject the lie that you can't change. See the person God wants you to be and put real effort into doing your part, trusting that God will always do His part.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Power Shift is an experiment in dialogue that puts decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions in honest, one-on-one conversations about the aid sector's inequalities. ___ In the second episode of Power Shift, we continue our candid conversation between Grand Bargain ambassador Michael Köhler, formerly a senior leader of the EU's humanitarian aid arm, and Nadine Saba, founder of a Lebanese grassroots NGO. As the global humanitarian system faces unprecedented challenges – from donor cuts to accusations of colonial structures – they explore whether the system can truly be reformed, and if reform is enough. Saba speaks passionately from the front lines, sharing how communities are losing faith in a system that often delivers only "Band-Aid" solutions while failing to address – and often instigating – root causes. Köhler acknowledges the system's shortcomings while defending its foundational merits. “Would anything be better without the Grand Bargain? I think no. Would it be worse without the Grand Bargain? I believe, yes,” Köhler says of the major humanitarian reform process, “because we wouldn't have this kind of platform that reminds us [of] the need to get better, to reform, to open up, to share power.” Saba, who represents Global South NGOs, expressed doubt that there was sufficient will for the Grand Bargain to live up to its potential. "When things get difficult, people go back to old habits,” she argued Saba. “I do see that change is incremental. But I fear that it's getting so much incremental that it's not happening.” Their conversation reveals a fundamental tension between Köhler's technical approach to humanitarian response, and Saba's close-range exposure to the politics of crises. As this experiment in dialogue came to a close, Israel's campaign of airstrikes in Lebanon loomed, lending greater urgency to Saba and Köhler's attempts to come to a common understanding of what it would take to shift power in humanitarian response. ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search “The New Humanitarian” in your favourite podcast app. You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: If you've been stuck between 5K and 15K months and wondering why you're not scaling, this episode is for you! Today, I'm breaking down the incremental growth trap—why doing more of what's already working isn't enough to create real momentum. I'll share the key shift that separates those who stay stuck from those who scale to 20K, 30K, and beyond without adding more work to their plate. We'll dive into why constant tweaking, playing it safe, and waiting for the “perfect time” are actually holding you back—and how high-level refinement, not more effort, is the real solution. Plus, I'll walk you through how my Revenue Accelerator helps entrepreneurs make this shift, so they can create consistent, predictable income with ease.

You are caught in what is called incremental growth.” - Julie Solomon “  One of my private clients, when she came to me, she was making about 8 K to 12 K months consistently, but she felt like she had to push so flipping hard every single month to get there and she was doing all the things. She was tweaking her content, her offers, her pricing, always looking for the perfect formula. She would show up to things. She would invest a little in there with things, but what she really needed wasn't another tweak. It was honestly a complete shift in how she positioned her authority. And the moment that we leaned into that together, boom, she had her first 18 K month, then scaled to 25 K months within 90 days with less effort but more focus, let that sink in.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

As a service-based business owner, setting the right price for your expertise might seem like an impossible task. While many freelancers might undervalue their services, it's important to periodically assess and adjust pricing to align with your growing expertise and business goals. Let's explore how you can strategically raise your rates with existing clients without losing them, ensuring that your business not only survives but thrives.Topics Covered In This Episode:Raising rates can align your pricing with the value and results you deliver to your clients, particularly in ad management where value is easily quantifiable.Evaluating your existing client contracts is crucial before raising rates, focusing on how long they have been with you and the results they've achieved.Approaching price increases should involve a structured communication plan, possibly including a good, better, best pricing approach.Price increases should be viewed as a benefit to both the freelancer and the client, allowing for more focused service with fewer clients.Price anchoring is an effective strategy in communicating new rates, helping clients perceive the value difference.Facing pushback from clients requires standing firm on your value and being prepared with alternative options or downsells.Raising rates can prevent burnout for freelancers, aligning your client workload with your financial and business goals.Incremental rate increases or new contracts with existing clients are ways to achieve better financial stability without completely disrupting your current client relationships.Find the full show notes at:  https://brandimowles.com/248Loved This Episode?

This week, Jake and Bob continue their conversation and focus on the primary mechanisms of our human nature when it comes to change. We are a composite of body, soul, and spirit, but many times we isolate change and healing to only one part of our nature. While this can lead to some change, when integrated on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level we can experience greater progress. Jake and Bob discuss incremental vs transformational change, how the Sacraments pour out grace into our lives, and share stories of experiencing change in their lives.   Key Points: If you want to take care of yourself, you first have to understand yourself We are a composite of body, soul, and spirit and healing largely occurs when we integrate all three There are two types of change: incremental and transformational Incremental change often precedes transformational change Being in relationship with others is a healing experience The Sacraments pour out grace into our lives that aids us in making a change   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
