Gregory Copley evaluates the new "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, which aims to counter Iranian influence despite mutual distrust among the members. The discussion also explores the massive transformation of global trade routes, including China's "Ice Silk Road" through the Arctic and Russia's International North-South Transport Corridor. Copley notes that these routes aim to bypass vulnerable maritime choke points like the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, he provides a report on King Charles III's summer activities and public engagements in Scotland. (5)

Today on Notable Leaders Radio, I sit down with Damaris Melo-Gyasi, architect, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and author of Making My Way: A Story of Grit and Grace. Her story isn't simply about building a successful business. It's about learning to create a life that reflected who she truly was, rather than the limitations others expected her to accept. Growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, in a working-class Pentecostal family, Damaris was surrounded by love, discipline, and faith—but also by unspoken expectations about what was possible. At just seven years old, seeing a female architect for the first time expanded her understanding of what her future could hold. That single moment of possibility became the beginning of a journey that would take her across countries, cultures, and careers. Through scholarship opportunities, entrepreneurship, and countless moments of uncertainty, Damaris learned that making your own way isn't about having all the answers. It's about having the courage to keep moving forward, trusting your values, embracing your strengths, and creating opportunities not only for yourself, but for others. Together, we explore how leadership is less about achieving perfection and more about becoming the person capable of creating meaningful influence and lasting impact. Together, We Explore The Power of Seeing New Possibilities Sometimes transformation begins with a single moment that changes what we believe is possible. For Damaris, seeing a woman working as an architect at seven years old quietly challenged every expectation she had inherited about her future. That experience reminds us that expanding our vision often begins long before we possess the confidence to pursue it. When Excellence Replaces Perfection Perfection promises safety but often keeps us from fully stepping into our potential. Damaris shares how releasing the need to have every answer allowed her to lead with greater confidence, authenticity, and resilience. Excellence isn't about flawless performance; it's about consistently bringing your best while continuing to learn and grow. You Don't Have to Be Everything Many leaders believe success means mastering every skill themselves. Damaris discovered that sustainable leadership comes from recognizing where others are stronger, trusting their expertise, and building teams whose collective strengths far exceed any one individual's abilities. Leadership grows when we stop proving ourselves and begin empowering others. Redefining Success Through Influence Titles, promotions, and financial success can open doors—but they don't always create meaningful impact. Building her own architecture firm allowed Damaris to redefine success, shifting her focus from external achievement to creating spaces, opportunities, and communities that improve people's lives. Influence became more meaningful than recognition. Leading with Courage and Conviction Our values matter most when they're tested. Whether advocating for her employees or navigating difficult conversations with clients, Damaris demonstrates that leadership requires the courage to protect people, uphold boundaries, and remain aligned with what matters most, even when those conversations feel uncomfortable. Respect is often earned through conviction delivered with grace. A Moment That Changed Everything Sometimes the moments that shape our future seem almost insignificant at the time. For Damaris, it wasn't receiving a degree, launching a business, or publishing a book. It was seeing someone who reflected a future she had never imagined for herself. One small moment expanded her vision of what was possible. Years later, she would become that example for countless others. Leadership often begins when someone helps us believe that our future can be larger than our circumstances A Final Reflection Every leader has a story they didn't choose. Our upbringing, our circumstances, and the expectations placed upon us all leave their mark. But those experiences do not have to become the boundaries of our future. Damaris reminds us that making your own way isn't about rejecting where you came from. It's about honoring what shaped you while choosing, with courage and intention, the path you're meant to create. The most influential leaders aren't those who follow someone else's blueprint. They're the ones willing to write their own. Carry This Forward Notice Where in your life or leadership are you still waiting for permission that no one else can give you? Reflect What story about yourself has quietly outlived its usefulness? Act Choose one courageous conversation or meaningful action you've been postponing. Take the first step this week, trusting that clarity often comes through movement, not certainty.

Malcolm Hoenlein discusses a new mutual defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan that has emerged to counter Iranian influence and the Muslim Brotherhood. Meanwhile, in Gaza, empirical data from UNICEF and the WHO challenges international narratives of famine, showing malnutrition rates are actually lower than in many neighboring countries. Theft of aid by Hamas remains a primary obstacle to relief efforts. In Iran, the regime faces severe domestic instability due to energy and water shortages, yet it continues to make extreme "non-negotiable" demands of the U.S., including $300 billion in reparations, while escalating public executions to silence internal dissent.

Master shaper, Coronado native, and lifelong surfer, Dan Mann, joins Dave Prodan on The Lineup to pull back the curtain on a career that has taken him from shaping his first boards in the 1990s to working alongside Kelly Slater, Firewire and Slater Designs on some of the most refined high-performance surfboards in the world. Dan Mann has spent nearly three decades chasing the perfect surfboard, and breaks down his path into shaping, the influence of legendary San Diego shapers, like Rusty and Xanadu, the evolution from hand shaping to CNC technology, and why consistency and engineering have become such important tools in modern surfboard design. He also goes deep on his decade-long relationship with Kelly Slater, including the development of models like the FRK, S-Boss and other Slater Designs boards. Mann also takes Dave behind the scenes of Stab in the Dark X, where he built a board for Kelly Slater under intense time pressure, and discusses the aftermath of seeing his work and personality portrayed in the series. He reflects on the follow-up Ethan Ewing edition, where his board earned major praise and helped showcase the depth of his shaping philosophy. The conversation gets deep into the details of surfboard design, from PU vs. EPS and Firewire construction technologies to twins, quads, rocker, bottom contours and fin placement. Dan talks about his current Mannkine and Firewire projects, the possibility of helping develop the next generation of CT surfers, and how “not thinking as much” is his next state of happiness.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when two practitioners with decades of experience stop trying to provide answers and start exploring the questions?In this episode, I reconnect with longtime friend and performance therapist Gerry Ramogida for a wide-ranging conversation about performance therapy, Reconditioning, clinical reasoning, and what it really means to work with complex human beings.Gerry has spent nearly three decades working across the NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, and Olympic sport, contributing to championship organizations including the Seattle Seahawks and Golden State Warriors. Today, he continues to work in professional hockey with the Vancouver Canucks while educating and mentoring practitioners around the world.We explore why diagnosis matters but can never tell the whole story, why understanding the demands of the person in front of you must precede intervention, and why practitioners need to continually observe, intervene, reassess, and remain willing to change direction. We talk about manual therapy as an input rather than an outcome, the importance of creating ownership after an intervention, and the danger of becoming so attached to our tools that everything begins to look like something we know how to treat.Perhaps most importantly, we talk about uncertainty.After almost thirty years of practice, Gerry makes the observation that certainty simply does not exist when working with complex human systems. Expertise may therefore be less about knowing exactly what will happen and more about developing the knowledge, curiosity and humility to explore what might.Our conversation eventually moves beyond performance and into something even more important: service, relationships and remembering the people who provide the foundation that allows us to do this work in the first place.This is a conversation between two old friends who have spent much of their lives trying to understand human performance and who remain fascinated by how much there is still to learn.

Ilana Golan knows what it feels like to lose everything. After climbing from the Air Force to Intel to VP in a Silicon Valley startup, she thought she had made it.

Wat als je ego zich niet alleen laat zien wanneer je dominant doet, jezelf overschat of altijd gelijk wilt krijgen? Wat als perfectionisme, pleasen, onzekerheid en geen nee durven zeggen óók manieren zijn waarop je ego de controle probeert te houden? In deze nieuwste aflevering van de Tijdwinst Podcast spreekt time management expert Björn Deusings met Marieke Rademaker, medeauteur van het boek De Egofluisteraar. Wat komt aan bod?Wat het ego werkelijk is en waarom een groot ego maar één mogelijke uitingsvorm isHoe pleasen, perfectionisme en onzekerheid door het ego kunnen worden aangestuurdWaarom oude ervaringen nog steeds invloed hebben op je reacties in het hier en nuHoe je herkent dat je ego het stuur heeft overgenomenHoe het zoeken naar goedkeuring je energie langzaam leegtrektWat het verschil is tussen handelen vanuit je ego en vanuit je natuurlijke zelfIn deze aflevering van de Tijdwinst Podcast spreekt productiviteitsexpert Björn Deusings met Marieke Rademaker, mede-auteur van het boek De Egofluisteraar. In de aflevering hebben Björn en Marieke het over het ego. Je ego zegt niet alleen: “Kijk eens hoe goed ik ben.” Het kan je net zo goed influisteren dat je niet goed genoeg bent, dat je harder moet werken, dat je niemand teleur mag stellen of dat anderen je pas waarderen wanneer je alles perfect doet. En... voor je het weet ben je voortdurend bezig met wat anderen van je vinden.“Het natuurlijke zelf geeft energie. Het ego kost ontzettend veel energie.”Björn en Marieke bespreken waarom het ego ooit een nuttig beschermingsmechanisme was, maar je op latere leeftijd juist kan tegenwerken. Ze laten zien hoe ervaringen uit je jeugd kunnen uitgroeien tot automatische patronen. Patronen die ervoor zorgen dat je jezelf klein houdt, snel geïrriteerd raakt, anderen veroordeelt, geen grenzen aangeeft of verantwoordelijkheid neemt voor dingen die niet van jou zijn.Daarnaast spreken Björn en Marieke over de cirkel van invloed, het stellen van grenzen en de populaire oproep om jezelf altijd op één te zetten. Want moet je werkelijk afscheid nemen van iedereen die je energie kost? Of is het slimmer om eerst te onderzoeken waarom die persoon zoveel bij jou oproept? Misschien hoef je niet harder aan jezelf te werken. Misschien mag je vooral beter leren luisteren naar wat er onder al die drukte, gedachten en verwachtingen al die tijd aanwezig was.Interesse?

Fr. Mike expands on the passage we read in Proverbs, and emphasizes how important it is to surround ourselves with people who are striving towards holiness. He also reflects on the book of Isaiah, and how these last couple of stories show that God's justice is always aligned with his infinite mercy. Today's readings are Isaiah 63-64, Ezekiel 21-22, and Proverbs 13:17-20. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Some of the thoughts running through your mind were never yours to begin with, and this is becoming more and more clear through experiences of telepathy - of which I have had some mind-blowing experiences recently that I will share in this live.  In this episode of Soul Elevation, I bring together two of the most fascinating frontiers of consciousness: heightened telepathy experiences and our continuous interaction with the astral realm. These topics not separate. When our psychic senses open, we start picking up on subtle frequencies we don't always realize originate outside of us. And once you can recognize that, a vital question rises: whose voice and influence are you actually listening to? Let's explore how the mind becomes a receiver to the astral plane, how lower energy forces and entities can benefit from us mindlessly accepting ideas that serve them but not us, and how to tell the difference between your own intuition and an energy that's borrowed, implanted, or secretly influencing you. Discern the source of your impressions, protect your energy, and interact with the astral realm from a place of clarity and power. The last livestream I did where I talk about the astral realm: https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/astral-travel Geraldine Orozco episode: https://www.soulelevationpodcast.com/geraldine-orozco

In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Hugo Navarro - Founder and Editor of the Undervalued and Undercovered newsletter on Substack and fund advisor at PEQUITY U&U Global Opportunities - to dig into how a 19-year-old from Spain built a six-figure research business and a fund advisory role by going where almost no one else was looking. We break down his process for finding names that look bad on the surface but are cheap for the wrong reasons, how he thinks about separating a real catalyst from a story that just sounds good, and a hard lesson from Intellego that taught him when a sniff test beats 100 hours of due diligence. We also get into two current ideas he's watching closely.

Why do some people command influence while you stay invisible, no matter how hard you work? Influence is not a performance you switch on in the room, it is the compound result of three habits. You are paid for how well you perform. The next level pays for how deeply you influence. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What are the three habits of influential people? The three habits of influential people are the practices that build genuine influence rather than the appearance of it: prioritizing personal growth over performance improvement, treating influence as a learnable ability, and developing wisdom instead of accumulating knowledge. Performance keeps you valuable as an implementer, but influence operates through communication, presence, energy, and the network you build, which is why influential people invest in who they are becoming rather than how much they produce. Influence itself is the art and science of moving an audience to change their own perceptions and behaviours because of what you communicated, which means it is a skill developed through time and consistent action, not a privilege granted or a status you can demand. Wisdom is the final habit, mastering a skill set so thoroughly that it becomes second nature, so you lead in your domain with confidence because you influence by the depth of your understanding rather than the size of your knowledge base. Key Concepts Personal growth over performance: The first habit is investing in who you are becoming rather than how much you produce, because influence runs on communication, presence, and connection rather than output. Influence as an ability: Influence is a skill, the art and science of moving an audience to change their own perceptions and behaviours because of what you communicated, developed through time and consistent action rather than granted or demanded. Wisdom over knowledge: The third habit is developing mastery so deep it becomes second nature, because you influence by the depth of your understanding of what you know, not by how much you know. The implementer versus the influencer: The implementer is valued for performing tasks well, while the influencer is valued for shaping how people perceive and act, and the two are rewarded at different levels.

Piero Tozzi and Gordon Chang explore the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) "long arm" influence in the U.S., specifically regarding a Purdue University professor pressured to cancel a speech at a Catholic conference. Tozzi explains that the CCP uses "patriotic churches" to "sinicize" Catholicism, which involves forcing the religion to conform to Party dictates. Tozzi criticizes the Vatican's "accommodationist approach" under the 2018 Sino-Vatican Accord, noting it neglects the persecuted "underground" church. He highlights that figures like Cardinal Zen and Archbishop Cordileone have been vocal defenders of figures like Jimmy Lai. Tozzi argues that the Catholic hierarchy must understand the totalitarian nature of the CCP, which seeks absolute control over all institutions. The discussion emphasizes that Chinese officials use intimidation to project dominance even within American universities and religious organizations. (4)

BB28 Thursday Live Feed Update August 6, 2026 Watch the podcast on YouTube! Big Brother 28 gets tense as the house faces uncertainty over the upcoming eviction and shifting alliances. Host Taran Armstrong recaps Day 30 in the house with guest Jacob Jones, breaking down the complex vote math and social strategy brewing before the pivotal eviction night. Haley is Head of Household, with Drew, Melody, and Lyric sitting on the block. The episode covers Dee's push to flip the vote and keep Drew, aiming to make Haley believe it's her own idea—a move that works well at first. But Kamu voices his preference to keep Lyric over Drew, creating a split in the alliance. Yash, realizing his final two with Lyric could be at risk, spends the day pushing votes in her favor. Meanwhile, Melody feels defeated, barely campaigning, which Taran and Jacob note as a missed opportunity, though her vulnerability draws viewer empathy. Social dynamics get attention, too, with Angela subtly pretending to be left out of decisions, and Taylor making game-winning moves by mending fences and pitching new alliances. The question of whether Dee can change minds and flip the Lyric vs. Drew vote remains open as the houseguests brace for eviction night. Dee's strategic move to keep Drew hinges on convincing Haley to feel ownership of the plan (raised by Taran). Yash actively works all day to keep Lyric, showing renewed game energy (discussed by Jacob). Angela pretends to be out of the loop to strengthen her social standing (noted by both). Taylor repairs her relationship with Drew and pitches alliances, quietly improving her position (highlighted by Taran). Haley's direct and sometimes off-putting approach to alliance questions impacts her relationships (Jacob's observation). With the vote still unsettled and several houseguests jockeying for influence, it's unclear whose agenda will win. Will Dee get her way and shift the target, or do the numbers fall in someone else's favor? Tune in to hear Taran and Jacob's full breakdown as eviction night approaches and the next HoH looms.

Bill Courtney grew up the son of an NYPD cop, followed his father's footsteps onto the force in the mid-1980s, and spent his career working DEA task forces taking down cartel traffickers in New York City before the rise of rap and the specific world where organized crime and the music industry collided became the defining chapter of everything he did behind the badge. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what working DEA cartel cases in New York City really looked like, what the rise of rap in the 1980s and 1990s produced in terms of street violence and organized crime, what investigating the 50 Cent shooting actually involved, and what the investigation that eventually took down Kenneth Supreme McGriff — one of the most feared and most connected figures in New York street and hip hop history — actually required of the detectives who built it. He also opens up about flipping informants, making deals, the Murder Inc investigation, and the complete truth about corruption inside the music industry that most people who followed those stories from the outside never heard described honestly from the detective who worked them. _____________________________________________  #50cent #nypd #truecrimestories #cops _____________________________________________  Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick:  https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en  https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Meet Bill Courtney, NYPD Detective 00:20 Growing Up in New York and Joining NYPD 01:45 The Violent Era of New York in the 80s and 90s 03:13 Comparing Crime in Different Generations 05:09 Robbery Culture, Fashion, and Juvenile Crime 06:09 The Crack Era Changes Everything 06:25 Rap Music's Influence on Crime and Culture 09:25 The Anti-Police Sentiment in Rap 10:39 Rap Violence: From Streets to Studios 11:39 Becoming the 'Rap Violence Guy' for NYPD 12:39 From Robbery Squads to DEA Task Force 15:15 Inside Major Drug Interdiction Operations 16:50 The Stash House Busts: Mistakes and Breaks 18:35 Money, Seizures, and Law Enforcement Tactics 23:18 Cooperation and the Federal System's Double-Edged Sword 29:08 Informants, Witness Protection, and Prison Realities 33:33 Managing Informants and Their Pitfalls 36:56 The Supreme Team: Origins and Street Power 42:41 50 Cent, Murder Inc., and the Violent Feud 49:20 Investigation Breakthroughs and Major Arrests 55:00 Building the Supreme Team Case and Trial Pressure 01:02:26 Hip-Hop, Fame, and Street Gang Connections 01:06:26 Music Industry Corruption & Tupac's Shooting 01:11:11 Celebrity Crime and Near Misses—James Woods' Story  01:17:12 Why Do Wealthy Stars Risk It All? 01:20:44 Changing Tides: New Rap, Old Crime, and Industry Shift 01:31:31 Life After NYPD and Podcasting 01:37:08 Family Fallout from Long Sentences 01:42:42 Reflection on Sentencing and Changing Perspectives 01:44:08 Legacy, Training, and Changing Police Culture 01:47:46 Closing Thoughts and Farewell _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

This week we celebrate the release of All Your Life: What It Really Means to Live for Jesus (InterVarsity Press, Aug. 4, 2026). In this special episode, Lina reads Chapter 8 of the book, "Your Influence." In a world obsessed with followers, platforms, and personal brands, it's easy to believe that influence is measured by numbers. But is that how God defines it? If you've ever wanted your life to matter, wondered how to make a difference, or struggled to navigate today's influencer culture, this episode will help you discover a biblical vision of influence.  You'll learn why true influence isn't about becoming well-known but about faithfully reflecting Jesus wherever He has placed you.   Helpful resources: 

HardLore is joined by Ryan George & Todd Jones of CARRY ON for a thorough deep dive into the complete history of the band, following their long awaited return this past June at Tied Down fest, and on the eve of their hometown return at Sound & Fury festival.From beginning as a metallic band called Persevere in Atascadero, California, to changing their name (and their many lineups), recruiting Todd, Corey Williams and Nick Jett in the band, finding their musical identity on their Roll With The Punches 7", refining it on their one and only album A Life Less Plagued, and Ryan infamously deciding to stop being straight edge, quickly ending the band... This is a fascinating window into a band Bo and I grew up listening to and loving for 20+ years, and it was honor to be in the room as these two shared so much about such a beloved band.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when you refuse to stop asking questions?In Episode 491 of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Steven Copobianco—better known to many as "Capo"—to explore a career that has been defined by curiosity, continuous learning, and a relentless desire to better serve people.Steve is a clinician, educator, innovator, and co-founder of RockTape. A graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic West with a Diplomate in Rehabilitation and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist designation, he has spent more than two decades teaching clinicians around the world to think differently about movement, rehabilitation, and performance.But this conversation goes far beyond credentials.We trace Steve's journey from growing up on a farm near Barrie, Ontario, to his love of hockey and the Boston Bruins, through York University, Florida, Palmer West, and eventually to building one of the most recognizable education companies in rehabilitation.Along the way, we discuss the value of observation, why you don't need to be an expert in every sport to understand movement, how working with individuals with cerebral palsy changed the trajectory of his career, and why the best clinicians eventually stop treating body parts and start seeing the person in front of them.We also talk about entrepreneurship, fatherhood, community, and how success often comes from being willing to leave the comfort of what you know in pursuit of what you might become.If you're a clinician, coach, therapist, or simply someone who believes that growth begins with curiosity, you'll find plenty to take away from this conversation.Enjoy Episode 491 with Steven Copobianco.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com 

It’s back-to-school time. Today, I have friends walking their baby into kindergarten for the very first time. And I have other friends helping their baby move into a college dorm. Those two days feel worlds apart… until you’ve lived them. Those of us a little farther down the road know the truth. One day you’re zipping a backpack that’s almost bigger than they are. The next day you’re hugging them goodbye in a parking lot, trying not to cry until they can’t see you anymore. The days are long. The years are unbelievably short. And that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be. We aren’t raising children to keep them. We’re raising them to release them. But before that day comes, God gives us something incredibly sacred. Influence. During the school year, our children will spend nearly half of their waking hours at school. Nearly half. Half of their conversations. Half of their friendships. Half of their victories. Half of their disappointments. Half of the voices speaking into their lives. As moms, that realization can make us want to tighten our grip. We want to protect them from every hurt, every bad influence, every disappointment, every temptation. But we can’t. We can’t walk beside them every minute. God can. He’ll be in the classroom before they arrive. He’ll be standing in the hallway when they feel alone. He’ll be at the lunch table when they’re wondering where they belong. He’ll be on the bus ride, at practice, during the test, in the hard conversation, in the moment they need courage, and in the split second when they have to choose right over wrong. There isn’t one place your child will go where God cannot meet them. But here’s the beautiful and really really important thing… We get to invite Him there. We’ll buy the new shoes. We’ll pack the lunches. We’ll label the notebooks. But before we send them out the door… Let’s send them covered in prayer. Our my greatest assignment as a mother was never to control my children. It is to continually talk to God about them. Not lecture them more. Not yell louder. Not worry harder. Prayer is the most powerful thing you will ever do for my children. James 5:16, “The prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” Do we actually believe that? If we do, then let’s pray like it. One of my favorite pictures of bold prayer comes from Joshua and the walls of Jericho. Jericho looked impossible. The walls were too high. Too thick. Too strong. Humanly speaking, there was no way through. But God didn’t hand Joshua a cannon to blast through the walls – He gave him marching orders. “Walk around it.” Once a day for six days. Seven times on the seventh day. After the 7th circle on the 7th day, have the priest blow their horns, let the people shout, and those walls will just fall down. Read the story in Joshua chapter 6. The battle plan from God sounded foolish. Marching doesn’t knock down walls. Trumpets don’t break stone. But obedience invited the power of God. And when God’s people obeyed, the walls that looked impossible suddenly came crashing down. Ever since reading The Circle Maker, I’ve loved the picture of praying circles. Sometimes I literally walk around the thing I’m praying for. Sometimes I simply picture it in my mind. Not because there’s something magical about circles. There’s not. The power isn’t in the walking. The power is in the God we’re walking with. The circle simply reminds me that I’m surrounding something with persistent, believing prayer. Mama… This school year, your Jericho may be the very building your child walks into every morning. So go make a circle. Walk around that school. Pray over every classroom. Pray over every teacher. Pray over every coach. Pray over every bus. Pray over every lunch table. Pray over every child who walks through those doors—including the ones who have no one praying for them. Pray that truth would be louder than lies. Pray that kindness would overcome cruelty. Pray that lonely kids would find friends. Pray that teachers would have wisdom and patience. Pray that they would have JESUS! Pray that your child would have courage to stand for what’s right. Pray that God would place divine appointments in their path. Pray that lives would be changed. Pray that walls would come down. But this isn’t just a call for mom’s with kids in school – this is a call for every single one of us listening. Listen to me – at a school near you, there are children inside those walls who desperately need someone talking to God on their behalf. THEY HAVE NO ONE PRAYING FOR THEM! Someone is carrying burdens no one else knows. Someone is terrified. Someone is lonely. Someone is one encounter away from discovering Jesus. Someone needs heaven to move. And prayer still has the power to move heaven. WHY NOT BE THE ONE WHO PRAYS FOR THEM? So let’s get to marching. Let’s get to praying. Let’s circle our schools until the God who brought down the walls of Jericho does what only He can do. Because while our children may spend nearly half of their waking hours at school, they never have to spend one moment there without the presence of God going before them. Could your prayer really make a difference? Absolutely. Read James 5:16 again: “The prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” Do you know who that righteous person is? You. Not because you’ve done everything right, but because Jesus made you right with God. Through Him, you have been given the incredible privilege of approaching the throne of God with confidence. You don’t have to wonder if you’re worthy enough to pray. Jesus settled that once and for all. Now pray. Pray boldly. Pray specifically. Pray expectantly. Your prayers aren’t empty words floating into the air. They are powerful conversations with the God who moves mountains, breaks chains, opens doors, and brings down walls. So start praying your circles. Circle your children. Circle their school. Circle their teachers. Circle the principal. Circle the coaches. Circle the staff. Circle the lonely kids. Circle the hurting families. Invite the presence of God into every classroom, every hallway, every bus ride, every friendship, and every decision. Because your prayers have great power and God still produces wonderful results. If you don’t know what to pray, you pray scripture! Yes, pray God’s own word, declare his promises over the school. I have a easy guide in the transcript of this devotional at biglifedevotional.com. (Thank you, Darlene!)

A quiet "integrity crisis" is unfolding in the lives of many Christian leaders and prophetic voices. We are living in an age where wealth is prioritized over wounded souls. Influence is measured by followers, numbers, platforms, and revenue streams rather than the heart of a leader who faithfully stewards God's flock. The Spirit of Mammon has crept into pulpits, churches, Christian leadership circles, social media platforms, and prophetic spaces. What once centered on shepherding souls has shifted toward building brands. What once demanded integrity is now too often replaced with image, strategy, and financial gain. This kind of leadership destroys God's people, erodes prophetic purity, incentivizes compromise, and tempts leaders to prioritize wealth over souls. A truthful question every leader must ask: Are you being led by God … or influenced by the enemy?   Blessings-  Melia's Services -> Faith-Based Services Melia's Books ->Best-Selling Books Hire Melia for Event -> Melia's Media Kit Melia's Courses -> Vertical Relationship Academy    

What separates elite performers from everyone else isn't skill, strategy, or preparation. It's psychology. Collin Henderson knows this firsthand. A former Division I wide receiver at Washington State University, seven-time author, and host of the Master Your Mindset podcast, Collin has spent his career cracking the code on peak performance — training number one NBA draft picks, Heisman football finalists, and top sales teams at Nike, Amazon, Salesforce, and Alaska Airlines. His new book, The Oz Method: Psychological Secrets of Influence for Sales, Leadership, and Life (IdeaPress, 2026), delivers a parable-driven framework inspired by L. Frank Baum's classic — and it just might change the way you sell, lead, and communicate forever. In this episode of the Business of Story, Collin reveals why sales psychology beats sales strategy every time. We unpack his five-part story framework — Set the Scene, Establish the Challenge, The Growth Journey, Face Your Fear, Resolution — and explore why the brain is hardwired to respond to problems before solutions. Collin also shares why your identity is the hidden ceiling on your performance, how "trauma, drama, daddy and mama" shapes the way high achievers either freeze or fly under pressure, and why boring will put you out of business faster than any competitor. This is a masterclass in the psychology of influence, the neuroscience of storytelling, and the courage it takes to communicate when the moment gets biggest. What you'll discover in this episode: The five-part story framework every seller, leader, and communicator needs to master. Why psychological readiness trumps preparation in high-stakes moments. How to close the gap between what your team can do and what they actually deliver Connect with Collin Henderson at thecolinhenderson.com and on LinkedIn and Instagram @ColinHendersonCoach.

Hear from Sammy Braybrooke, as Owynn is joined by Matt Piper & Phil Holloway.

Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Charlie Puth has spent the last decade topping charts with hits like “See You Again,” “Attention” and “We Don't Talk Anymore”. He also shares about performing the national anthem at the 2026 Super Bowl, drawing inspiration from Whitney Houston's iconic rendition. Puth sits down with Willie Geist at a New York City jazz club to discuss his fourth studio album, “Whatever's Clever,” an orchestral pop record influenced by late 1980s and early 1990s yacht rock, while reflecting on the pivotal moments that shaped his rise from accidental pop star to global headliner. Plus, he opens up about a recent conversation with former President Barack Obama about the importance of music education, how Taylor Swift's “The Tortured Poets Department” lyric pushed him to be more vulnerable and how marriage and fatherhood have reshaped his songwriting.

How should Christian men think about ambition, success, influence, and vocation? In a culture obsessed with fame and personal achievement, Scripture points us toward something deeper: faithfulness.In this episode, I discuss why ambition is not the enemy, but why it must be directed by virtue, responsibility, and God's calling. We explore the importance of faithful men, local community, vocation, influence, contentment, and how to discern what God would have you build during your lifetime.This discussion is based on my latest Substack article, What Should I Do? A Christian Man's Guide to Ambition, Influence, and Faithfulness.If you have ever wrestled with questions about career, purpose, legacy, or whether you are making the most of your life, I hope this conversation helps.Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/00:00 Why Ambition Matters05:36 Defining Success10:42 Faithfulness Over Fame16:08 Vocation and Calling21:54 Building What Lasts28:17 Influence and Responsibility34:06 Accepting Your Limits39:11 Planning for Legacy43:28 Final ExhortationSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
