Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl White sits down with Kevin Gillespie to explore an important leadership question: what works better, motivation or inspiration? They discuss how motivation can create an immediate push to take action, while inspiration can help people develop the internal drive and confidence to keep moving forward even when no one is pushing them. Carl and Kevin share examples from their own experiences and explain why great leadership is not about choosing one approach over the other. The key is understanding what your team needs in the moment. Sometimes people need encouragement and an example to follow. Other times they need clear standards, accountability, and a respectful push to take action. They also discuss why leaders should focus on the activities people can control instead of only measuring results like applications and closings. By coaching the right behaviors, setting clear expectations, and leading by example, leaders can help their teams improve while building a culture of personal responsibility. Whether you're leading a branch, managing a team, or looking to become a stronger leader, this episode will help you think differently about how you motivate, inspire, coach, and hold people accountable.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260831dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 No Comparison A diagnosis. An unexpected funeral. The loss of a job. A difficult marriage. Chronic pain. Loneliness. Anxiety. The daily struggle against temptation. The list can go far beyond the 400-word limit for this devotion. The Bible never denies suffering. Nor does it pretend or promise that Christians have an easier life. In fact, sometimes Christians have a more difficult life because they are Christians. That’s what the Bible call the cross—suffering for the sake of our faith. But when you place our crosses alongside the crown that Christ has prepared, there is no comparison. Imagine placing a pebble beside a mountain or a single candle beside the noon-day sun. The pebble is real. The candle gives real light. But beside something infinitely greater, they fade from view. So, too, the glory Christ won for us by his death and resurrection is so overwhelming that today’s suffering cannot be compared to tomorrow’s joy. That doesn’t mean our pain doesn’t matter. It mattered enough that Jesus entered it himself. He carried the greatest cross ever borne—the weight of the world’s sin, the Father’s judgment, and death itself. At Calvary, our Savior wore a crown of thorns so that one day we would wear the crown of life. Because Christ carried the cross first, your crosses are never signs that God has abandoned you. They are reminders that you are following the Savior who walked this road before you. More than that, they assure you that suffering is never the final chapter of your story. The day is coming when tears will be wiped away, and sin will trouble you no more. Your body will be raised in glory, and you will stand forever in the presence of the One who redeemed you. Until then, fix your eyes not on the weight of today’s cross but on the certainty of tomorrow’s crown. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when the crosses of this life seem too heavy to bear, lift my eyes to the glory you have prepared for me. Remind me that you carried the greatest cross so that I might receive the crown of life. Strengthen my faith to endure with hope until the day I see you face to face. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

Life is far too complicated to reduce a human being to a thousand decisions.But as a metaphor?I think there is something incredibly valuable here.Because so much of where we find ourselves today is the accumulated result of things that happened repeatedly before today.Not yesterday.Not last weekend.Not the last seven days.Often…years.And that is what I want to talk about all week.Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

You already are a light for someone today, even if you can't see it or haven't heard it yet.In this episode, Steph reflects on what it means to be a light in a world that can feel dark, and how our impact often reaches people in ways we never see. She shares personal stories that reveal the quiet power of presence, kindness, and intention, showing how small moments can ripple far beyond what we realize. This conversation is a reminder that positivity isn't a performance. It's a choice that shapes the people around us, often more than we know. Steph invites listeners to recognize their own influence and keep shining, even on the hard days.In this episode you'll discover:Why being a light in the world starts as an internal value, not an external performanceHow your presence can become a source of strength for someone else without you knowing itWhy the ripple effects of your actions reach further than you can seeYour takeaways:People often notice your impact without you knowing it.Small acts of kindness can make a bigger difference than you think.Your actions create ripples that reach far beyond your sight.Chapters00:00 Being a Light in a Dark World05:41 The Impact of Your Presence11:43 Creating Ripples of Change

Last episode we talked about removing interference--getting rid of those things that interfere with our Happy, with the direction we want our life to go. We want to continue on with that idea by talking about running interference, because when we run interference, we remove our interference. Not to mention, when we run interference for someone else and they win...then we win too. Listen as well as share with someone who has run interference for you and your life, you'll be Happy you did, and they will be Happy as well.

This week on Hope Prose, Tara has the joy of speaking with an author she recently discovered who resonates deeply with her own reading and writing passions. Originally from  Tasmania, Australia, Mikki Brammer now calls New York City Home. Her debut novel, The Collected Regrets of Clover, was a USA Today bestseller and has been published in over 27 languages. Her second novel, released this past May, Good Joy, Bad Joy, was picked for both  Barnes and Noble and Reader's Digest's Book Clubs. In addition to writing uplifting and life-affirming novels, Mikki also writes about art, design, and architecture for publications such as Dwell and Architectural Digest. Listen in as they talk about balancing losses with joys in both life and novels, how we can learn from those around us to write authentic, true characters, and how recognizing our fears can inspire us to do things we never thought we might. The Hope Prose Podcast's InstagramAlex's Instagram Tara's Instagram

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260830dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion The creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. Romans 8:19 Ten Minutes Sometime, give yourself ten minutes. Give yourself ten minutes for a profound teaching moment. Go to a place where you can let your eyes rest on a portion of God’s creation. If you’re near a shoreline, go to the water’s edge. If you’re near a trail that winds through a grove of trees, take a walk. If you’re driving past a scenic overlook, stop the car and put it in park. If you’re away from city lights and the night sky is clear, lie down on your back. For ten uninterrupted minutes, let God’s creation fill your field of vision. Watch it. Observe it. Study it. As you do, call to mind that God’s Word wants you to notice something about this portion of God’s creation. He wants you to notice that his creation is waiting. The oceans are waiting. The lakes, rivers, and streams are waiting. The trees are waiting. The mountains and valleys are waiting. The planets, stars, and galaxies are waiting. They are all waiting, the Bible says, in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. They are all waiting for that moment when the One through whom all things were made (John 1:3) will come back one more time. They are all waiting for the last day when all believers in Jesus will be identified. They are all waiting for that moment when the King of kings will come to roll up this broken place like an old carpet. They are all waiting for the moment when the Lord of lords will come to sweep away the presence and effects of sin once and for all. And when your ten minutes are up, realize that the creation before you now has ten fewer minutes to wait. For the One who entered this creation on our behalf, the One who lived a sinless life in our place, the One who died to wash us clean, the One who rose from death—this very Jesus has promised to return. And he always keeps his promises. Prayer: Lord Jesus, as I enjoy the beauty of your creation, let your Word show me that even your creation reminds me that you are in command, and that you will return. Amen.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260829dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.” Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.” Matthew 16:21-25 Following Jesus We put value on everything. How much we value someone, or something affects the decisions we make. If we value a certain piece of meat enough to pay thirteen dollars a pound for it, we buy it. If we value our pet enough to pay a thousand dollars for the surgery needed, we tell the vet to schedule the surgery. Jesus values you more than anyone has ever valued anything. He wants to spend his eternity with you. He knew that the only way he could do this was to go to the cross and spill his blood as payment for your sins. As Jesus said, he would have to “suffer many things.” But, for Jesus it was a simple equation. Lose his life or lose you. He chose to lose his life. And now, because of what Jesus did, all his followers will live eternally with him. Those who do not follow him will suffer separation from him forever. So, what are you willing to suffer in order to follow him? It is a simple equation. Lose him and you lose everything. Follow him at all costs. Carry whatever burden you must. Put up with whatever ridicule you must. Pass by whatever temporary pleasure you must. Follow him. Because when Jesus leads you to the glory of heaven you will exclaim, “It was worth it!” Prayer: Lord Jesus, I thank you that you valued me enough to suffer so much to save me. Amen.

Cory Dunham is an Executive Advisor, Business Growth Strategist, Speaker, and founder of Cory Dunham Advisory. He also serves as CEO of BDB Marketing Design, LLC.With more than 30 years of business and marketing experience, Cory helps service-based businesses grow through clearer messaging, stronger leadership alignment, and greater strategic consistency. His work focuses on closing the gap between the value a company delivers and how that value is seen, understood, trusted, and chosen in the marketplace.Cory brings a practical, people-centered approach to helping leaders strengthen communication, clarify positioning, align their teams, and create sustainable growth.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Cory Dunham to explore why clarity, differentiation, and human connection are becoming increasingly important competitive advantages.Cory explains that differentiation isn't simply about having a better product or service. Sales professionals must clearly communicate meaningful value while leaning into what technology cannot replicate—their stories, experiences, lessons, relationships, and human presence.Drawing from his experience as a private pilot, Cory shares lessons about self-awareness, situational awareness, and making the next best decision when circumstances become overwhelming. The conversation also explores how sales professionals can use AI, video, podcasts, and social media to become more human and visible—not less.Ultimately, Cory challenges salespeople to stop adding to the noise and get clear about who they serve, what customers value, and why they deserve a place at the table.KEY TAKEAWAYSClarity is a competitive advantage. Know who you serve, what they value, and how you create meaningful results.Your humanity is your differentiation. AI cannot replicate your experiences, stories, relationships, or perspective. Ask instead of assuming. Better questions and intentional listening reveal what truly matters to buyers. Use technology to humanize yourself. Let digital tools increase your visibility without replacing genuine connection. AI cannot fix confusion. Technology won't solve unclear messaging, positioning, leadership, or strategy. Make the next best decision. You don't always need every answer—you need enough awareness to determine the next right move. Meaningful value earns attention. Clearly articulating your value helps build trust and earn a place at the table. HIGHLIGHT QUOTESIn any given moment, you have the capacity to make the next best step.Two ears, one mouth. Let's use them in that proportion.No one has the exact story or has walked in your shoes one step.I think we're just all built as human beings to connect with other human beings.Clarity, clarity, and more clarity, both personally and professionally.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Kim Wiggins is a world-renowned painter from New Mexico, and one of the most recognizable artists working in the American West today. His bold, swirling canvases have made him one of the leading artistic voices of what's come to be called the New West. His work hangs in the Autry, the Booth, and the American Museum of Western Art in Denver, and this past year he won Best in Show at the Prix de West, the most prestigious award in Western art, becoming the first modernist ever to take it home. Kim comes by all of this honestly. Both sides of his family came west in covered wagons in the late 1800s and settled into ranching along the Pecos River. His mother was running two ranches and a nightclub in Arizona by her mid-twenties; his father was a photojournalist for Life and Sports Illustrated, and a bush pilot who once had to sprint back to his plane in the Amazon and count the arrows in the side of the fuselage. Kim grew up surrounded by creativity– Thomas Hart Benton paged through his sketchbook and he ate lunch with Georgia O'Keeffe at Ghost Ranch. He began focusing seriously on painting while stationed in Europe with the military and soon became the youngest member of the Society of American Impressionists — a career most artists would give an arm for, and one he walked away from completely. We talk about why he walked away, which starts with a moment at a show in St. Louis when he spotted one of his paintings across the room, hurried over, and discovered it wasn't his. We cover the lean years that followed, including knocking on doors in Lubbock in the summer heat with a car full of paintings. And we get into the ideas behind the work: why a loss of innovation is the death knell of a civilization, why he watches children in galleries instead of collectors, the paintings he made for the NAACP after his son asked him a question he couldn't answer, and his conviction that a gift, by definition, belongs to someone else. I first met Kim back in 2022 at Maxwell Alexander Gallery's ten-year show, where he was on a panel I moderated, and I've wanted a longer conversation ever since.

Hey, Family Brand community! We're trying something new on the podcast this week—new chairs, a new setup, and a conversation that started with something Chris wasn't actually planning to do. A couple of months ago, Chris got a new phone and, when he was setting everything back up, decided not to reinstall social media. There wasn't some dramatic social media detox or big declaration behind it. He just felt like he shouldn't put it back on his phone. What happened next surprised both of us. Chris started noticing that he felt more present—with me, with our kids, with his team, and even with himself. Then he took the experiment a little further. One Saturday, knowing he'd be spending hours doing tractor work, he intentionally left his headphones behind. No podcast. No music. No inspirational content. Just a few hours alone with his thoughts. And strangely enough, that felt uncomfortable at first. It made us wonder: when did being alone with our own thoughts become something we needed to avoid? That question led us somewhere much bigger. We both love books, podcasts, coaches, mentors, and personal development, and they've absolutely changed our lives. But Chris realized that some of the most profound ideas and breakthroughs he's ever experienced didn't actually come from someone else. They came during the times when he slowed down enough to ponder, pray, ask questions, and listen. Melissa has been experiencing something similar while preparing for an upcoming talk at church. By intentionally creating more quiet instead of immediately filling every empty moment with another audiobook or piece of content, ideas and clarity have started coming naturally. It made us wonder: what if the wisdom and inspiration we're constantly searching for is more available to us than we realize? And in today's world, this conversation feels especially important. We can outsource our thinking to influencers, podcasts, experts, social media, and now even AI. Those tools can be incredibly useful—we use them too—but they can't replace your own intelligence, intuition, faith, or understanding of your unique life. Sometimes asking someone else to tell us what to do is simply easier than doing the uncomfortable work of getting clear about what we actually want. Maybe we don't always need another answer. Maybe we need enough silence to hear the answer that's already trying to get through. So we're leaving you with a challenge this week: choose one time when you'd normally reach for stimulation—driving, working out, doing chores, or sitting down at the end of the day—and don't. Skip the podcast. Leave the music off. Put the phone away. Bring one of those questions that's been sitting in the back of your mind and give yourself enough stillness to actually think about it.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260828dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 16:19 An Open Door Have you ever been locked out? Perhaps you forgot your keys or found yourself standing outside a door you could not open. Jesus used the image of keys to describe one of the greatest gifts he gives: the “keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Keys open doors. The “keys of the kingdom” open the door to God’s forgiveness through the message of Jesus Christ. That may sound surprising. Many people assume Christianity is mostly about rules. The Bible certainly teaches right and wrong, but its central message is not, “Here are the rules.” Its central message is, “Here is your Savior.” Jesus came to unlock the prison of guilt, shame, and death. He offers forgiveness freely because he has already paid for our sins on the cross. No one is beyond his mercy. No mistake is too great. No past is too broken. Wherever the good news of Jesus is proclaimed, the door to God's grace is opened. What an incredible privilege it is to use these keys. The greatest gift we can offer another person is not advice, entertainment, or even friendship, important as those are. The greatest gift is Jesus Christ himself. The good news about Jesus Christ is “the power of God for salvation” because God himself works through his Word. The world offers countless temporary solutions. Jesus offers everlasting forgiveness. The world promises self-improvement. Jesus gives a new creation. The world speaks about success. Jesus speaks peace to guilty consciences. Someone you know needs that peace today. Perhaps God is inviting you to be the one who opens the conversation, extends the invitation, or shares the promise of forgiveness in Christ. The keys are meant to be used. Open the door with joy. “For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved'” (Romans 10:13). Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for opening the door to God's forgiveness. Help me trust in the gift you freely offer and lead me to know the joy of belonging to you. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260827dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “The gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Matthew 16:18 Hope that Defeats Fear Jesus promised, “The gates of Hades will not overcome it.” Jesus never promised his church an easy path. Christians experience persecution, temptation, suffering, and spiritual warfare. Satan constantly seeks to discourage believers and undermine the gospel. Yet Jesus assures us that hell itself cannot overcome his church. Notice that the gates belong to hell. Gates are defensive. Jesus Christ is advancing his kingdom as his gospel reaches hearts throughout the world. Satan cannot imprison those whom Jesus has redeemed and set free. That promise extends personally to every believer. There are days when guilt weighs heavily on us. We remember sins we wish we could erase. The devil whispers that God could never forgive someone like us. But Jesus has already answered those accusations. Through his death and resurrection, he has defeated sin, death, and Satan. The enemy may accuse, but he cannot condemn those who belong to Jesus Christ. This confidence enables Christians to live courageously. We need not fear the future because our Savior reigns. We need not fear death because Jesus has conquered the grave. We need not fear Satan because Jesus has already won the victory. Perhaps you’ve spent much of your life trying to avoid thinking about death or eternity. Jesus invites you to face those questions honestly—not with fear, but with hope. He came precisely because death is our greatest enemy. By dying and rising again, he has opened the way to eternal life for all who trust in him. The Christian message is not that good people earn heaven. It is that Jesus has opened heaven through his death and resurrection. That is a hope worth exploring. As the Bible says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” (Romans 10:11) Whenever fear threatens your heart, return to Christ’s promise. The battle belongs to him, and he has already secured the outcome. Prayer: Jesus, my Savior, when fear and temptation surround me, remind me that you have defeated every enemy. Keep me confident in your promises and steadfast until eternal victory is fully revealed. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

You're evolving into a new reality. In order to continue being adaptable and teachable, you' have to move saturated dense energies that are no longer useful out of the way.

Cette semaine, j'ai l'immense privilège d'échanger avec Claudie Haigneré.Médecin, chercheuse, première femme française et européenne à avoir voyagé dans l'espace (à deux reprises !), Ministre de la Recherche puis Ministre des Affaires Européennes, Claudie avance guidée par le désir de mettre sa connaissance, sa curiosité et son engagement au service du collectif.A épisode exceptionnel, durée exceptionnelle. Cet épisode est coupé en deux parties, tant il y avait à dire. Après une première partie très personnelle où Claudie est revenu sur son parcours et son expérience exceptionnelle dans l'espace, nous nous attardons dans cette deuxième partie sur les bouleversements et les enjeux majeurs du spatial aujourd'hui. Avant de préparer cet épisode, je n'avais pas conscience de la transformation brutale et profonde qui se jouait depuis quelques années dans l'Espace. Et a quel point cela impactait notre avenir.Hier domaine institutionnel et coopératif, l'espace est devenu depuis quelques années le nouveau terrain de jeu de quelques puissances et géants privés.- Aujourd'hui, des milliers de satellites sont envoyés par Starlink, avec la possibilité donnée à un acteur privé de choisir qui reçoit Internet.- Les projets de data centers spatiaux promettent de repousser nos propres limites énergétiques et écologiques, faisant miroiter une humanité qu'aucune limite planétaire ne vient entraver.- Le Traité de l'Espace de 1967 qui définissait l'espace comme un bien commun de l'humanité semble dater d'un autre monde. Cette nouvelle ère de la conquête spatiale est menée tambour battant. Reste une question fondammentale : à quel prix et au service de qui ?Le regard de Claudie Haigneré sur ces sujets est exceptionnel d'intelligence. Claudie nous rappelle qu'il est essentiel de :- Préserver l'espace comme bien commun  : derrière les milliers de satellites privés qui saturent l'orbite basse, Claudie rappelle la nécessité d'une régulation internationale ambitieuse, permettant de défendre le principe de zéro déchet en orbite, de garantir la neutralité et l'accès pour tous, d'imposer une responsabilité aux industriels et aux États.- Refuser la fuite en avant technologique : l'envoi de data centers dans l'espace ou la multiplication des méga-constellations ne peut pas être un prétexte pour contourner les limites de la Terre. Tout commence par le fait d'accepter et nommer la finitude de notre planète comme une donnée inamovible, non comme une prison mais comme une boussole. Il faut assumer ces limites et intégrer la lucidité et l'éthique à chacun de nos choix.- Redonner du sens au projet européen : l'Europe porte une autre idée de l'espace : coopération scientifique, données ouvertes, priorité à la connaissance et à la compréhension, défense du multilatéralisme. Les missions spatiales européennes sont à la pointe sur le climat, la compréhension de l'univers, la modélisation des systèmes vivants. A nous de nous battre pour faire entendre la vision de l'Europe et faire de l'aventure spatiale européenne un élément fédérateur du projet Européen.Cette discussion m'a passionnée. On aborde toutes ces questions avec une simplicité déconcertante et une conviction ancrée qu'on peut marier rigueur scientifique et éthique, progrès scientifiques et humanisme. Extraordinaire !Vous avez aimé l'épisode ? Partagez le largement autour de vous.

Et si voir la Terre d'en haut était la plus puissante des leçons d'humilité ?Cette semaine, j'ai eu l'immense privilège d'échanger avec Claudie Haigneré.Autant vous dire que j'étais intimidée.Claudie représente pour moi un mythe vivant.Médecin, chercheuse, elle est la première femme française et européenne à avoir voyagé dans l'espace (à deux reprises !). Je me souviens avoir suivi avec fierté et une pointe d'inquiétude ses vols en 1996 à bord de la station orbitale russe Mir puis en 2001 à bord de la Station Spatiale Internationale. Pendant quelques jours, la France avait arrêté de respirer, unie par l'émotion de la voir dans l'espace. Devenue ensuite Ministre de la Recherche puis Ministre des Affaires Européennes, Claudie incarne la croyance dans la science et l'innovation, la coopération internationale et l'Europe, l'éducation et les femmes... Autant de valeurs aujourd'hui attaquées, qu'il faut défendre ardemment. A épisode exceptionnel, durée exceptionnelle. Cet épisode est coupé en deux parties, tant il y avait à dire. Dans cette première partie, Claudie nous raconte le chemin, qui l'a amené à s'envoler dans les étoiles et à réaliser ce rêve qui semble inaccessible !Elle nous embarque dans la sélection, la préparation et surtout la réalité de ces jours passés dans l'espace.Elle nous raconte l'émerveillement ressenti à la vue de la Terre, la conscience de son extraordinaire beauté et de sa fragilité, et e sentiment d'urgence de préserver notre planète, ce vaisseau commun si unique. Dans une conversation a battons rompus, Claudie nous rapporte tout ce que l'espace a à nous apprendre, et notamment l'importance de la diversité, de la coopération, de l'éducation, de la conquête spatiale, des science et du progrès.Quelques idées fortes que je retiens de cette première partie :- Oser l'inattendu : ne pas renoncer à candidater, même lorsqu'on est « hors format », car une trajectoire n'est pas toujours tracée d'avance.- Éveiller et préserver la curiosité : enseignants, parents, institutions, nous avons tous un rôle à jouer pour cultiver le désir de savoir et d'agir- Coopérer au-delà des frontières : la science reste l'un des rares lieux où une collaboration internationale authentique résiste aux tensions politiques- Retisser la confiance : c'est à la fois une question d'esprit d'équipe, de complémentarité et de rites de passage pour endosser ensemble la responsabilité du futur- Protéger notre planète : il n'y a pas de planète B ! Si cet échange vous a inspiré, allez vite retrouver la deuxième partie, elle est déjà disponible. On y a parle des enjeux du spatial d'aujourd'hui. C'est passionnant ! Et bien sûr, partagez largement ces épisodes autour de lui et notez-les 5* sur vos plateformes d'écoute préférées. Si vous me découvrez, je suis Delphine Darmon. Toutes les 2 semaines, j'échange avec des personnalités inspirantes pour questionner les récits qui façonnent notre monde, et ouvrir des pistes concrètes de futurs plus désirables.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260826dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion (Jesus said) “I will build my church.” Matthew 16:18 A Church Built by Jesus Many people have mixed feelings about the Christian Church. Some have wonderful memories. Others have painful ones. Some think churches are full of hypocrites. Others wonder whether organized religion is even necessary. Jesus knew his followers would not be perfect. Peter himself would later deny knowing Jesus three times. Yet Jesus still said, “I will build my church.” Notice that he did not say, “People will build my church.” The Church belongs to Jesus. Christians are not gathered because they are better than everyone else. They are gathered because they know they need forgiveness. A hospital is filled with sick people, not because sickness is good, but because healing is needed. The Church is much the same. It is a place where people hear God’s promises, receive his forgiveness, and grow in faith together. Sometimes Christians and Christian churches become discouraged. We may wonder whether our efforts matter. Jesus reminds us that the Church’s foundation is not human wisdom, popularity, or impressive programs. The Church stands on the confession that “Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16) Wherever Jesus Christ is faithfully preached, there his church is found. Buildings may crumble. Congregations may struggle. Cultures change. Yet Jesus Christ continues to build his church through his gospel. The foundation of your own faith is equally secure. Your confidence is not in your consistency or strength, but in Jesus Christ’s unchanging promise. He remains faithful even when his people struggle. So, if you have stayed away because Christians have disappointed you, remember this: Christianity is not built upon perfect people. It is built upon a perfect Savior. Jesus gave his life for imperfect people. He welcomes doubters, failures, and sinners. When you visit a faithful Christian congregation, you should not expect to find flawless people. Instead, you should expect to hear about a flawless Savior who loves broken people enough to die for them. That is the Church Jesus Christ continues building today. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me look beyond the imperfections of people and see you. Lead me to a church where your Word is faithfully taught and where I may grow in knowing you. Amen.

Probablement le plus anticonformiste des coureurs.Depuis plus de 10 ans, Alexandre Boucheix est chef de projet chez JCDecaux le jour et superstar de l'ultra-trail la nuit.Son nom de scène : Casquette Verte.Aujourd'hui connu comme le loup blanc dans le monde du trail, il rassemble plus de 140 000 personnes sur son compte Instagram sous ce nom, documentant ses courses et ses aventures avec sa fameuse casquette verte.Son approche de la course est complètement délirante. Il refuse toute méthode ou programme et se concentre sur le volume : “Jamais de fractionné. Je ne m'entraîne pas, je cours.”Auparavant la course le rendait indifférent, il préférait répéter 3000 fois une figure de skateboard plutôt que de sortir courir.L'aventure commence par un acte manqué, après une soirée arrosée. Alexandre candidate pour son premier ultra-trail, La Diagonale des Fous : 175 km avec plus de 10 000 mètres de dénivelé sur l'île de la Réunion.Il parvient alors à entrer dans le top 100. Depuis, il multiplie les projets, tous plus insensés les uns que les autres.Finir dans le top 10 de la Diagonale des Fous. Faire 100 km autour du Parc des Princes en tournant en rond. Courir 490 km dans le désert d'Atacama. Inventer l'Ultra-trail de Montmartre.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260825dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus replied . . . “This was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.” Matthew 16:17 Faith Is a Gift Many people think becoming a Christian is simply a matter of deciding to believe. Jesus tells a different story. After Peter confessed that Jesus was the Christ, Jesus said this understanding did not come from Peter’s own intelligence or effort. God had revealed it to him. That is encouraging news. Jesus does not tell you to manufacture faith by trying harder. Instead, Christianity teaches that God comes to us. He speaks to us through his Word. He reveals his Son. He creates faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, where there was none before. “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ” (Romans 10:17). Think about every important relationship in your life. You only know another person because they chose to reveal themselves to you. The same is true of God. We cannot climb our way up to him. He must come down to us. And in Jesus, he has done just that. That is why Christians gather around the Bible. We believe it is God's own message, revealing his love through Jesus Christ. The wonderful news is that God is not hiding from you. He wants you to know him. He wants you to know that your sins are forgiven because of Jesus. He wants you to know that death is not the end. He wants you to know that you are invited into his family—not because you have earned it, but because he loves you. As you face today’s challenges, remember that your hope rests not in the strength of your faith, but in the object of your faith—Jesus Christ himself. He is the Rock of your salvation, the One who never changes, and the Savior who keeps all his promises (see Psalm 18:1-2). So, keep reading the Bible, asking your questions honestly, and being filled with the Word of God at a faithful Christian church. God has a history of meeting people through his Word. Prayer: Heavenly Father, reveal your Son to me. Help me understand the message of the Bible and lead me to trust in Jesus as my Savior. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

What separates a leader who simply manages people from one who truly understands them? Curiosity. On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black goes deeper into the People Business, exploring what happens when leaders become curious about how people are wired, how relationships shape us, and why connection can be one of the most powerful forces for change. At the center of the conversation is Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB), an interdisciplinary approach that brings together neuroscience, psychology, attachment theory, sociology, trauma research, systems theory, and more to better understand the connection between the brain, mind, and relationships. The core idea is powerful: we are shaped through relationships. Mr. Black explores the importance of attunement, the ability to genuinely see, hear, understand, and respond to another person. Great leadership isn’t simply telling people what to do. It’s creating the trust, safety, connection, and accountability that allow people to grow. This episode explores: How relationships shape the brain, beliefs, identity, and behavior Why neuroplasticity means our patterns are capable of changing How people help regulate one another through presence, empathy, and connection Why integration of emotion, logic, identity, relationships, and purpose matters The importance of becoming a safe person through presence, grace, and truth How understanding people helps leaders build healthier people, cultures, and organizations And while human behavior follows recognizable patterns, every person is still completely unique. That’s why leadership requires curiosity. You cannot assume you already know someone’s story, motivations, fears, strengths, or internal wiring. People are not problems to manage. They’re people to understand. If you want to build better organizations, stronger relationships, and healthier cultures, become curious about the people in front of you. Because we’re all in the People Business. Inspiration. Education. Application. When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the biggest reasons why many men are suffering with loneliness is their lack of emotional intelligence and emotional literacy. Dr. J.J. Kelly, the Punk Rock Doc, is a clinical psychologist who runs a practice called The Unorthodox. She is the author of the Holy Shit book series and recently wrote a piece for Vice on why men are so damn lonely. In this returning appearance, she joins Jon and Will to make a blunt, funny, and genuinely useful case: the male loneliness epidemic is about emotional illiteracy. The good news is that emotional intelligence is a set of skills anyone can learn if they are willing to do the work. This common challenge stems from limited opportunities to develop these vital skills earlier in life. Fortunately, emotional intelligence and emotional literacy are abilities anyone can strengthen through consistent practice. Men who cultivate these capacities gain the tools to identify their feelings, communicate with honesty, and form authentic connections. This growth supports men's mental health and creates space for deeper friendships and brotherhood. Mindfulness and emotional awareness practices further enhance resilience and a sense of belonging, leading to richer relationships, greater purpose, and happier, healthier lives.IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:1.  Why emotional illiteracy — not circumstance — is the root of male loneliness2.  Insight is not a skill: why reading every book changes nothing until you practice3.  Name it to tame it: validation and acceptance before change (the backbone of DBT)4.  The values exercise: behaving according to your values even when you're activated5.  Eating your shit sandwich with dignity, and why courage rarely backfiresMore about Dr. J.J.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260824dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “But what about you?” [Jesus] asked. “Who do you say I am?” Matthew 16:15 The Most Important Question If someone asked you, “Who is Jesus?” how would you answer? Many people would say he was a great teacher. Others would call him a prophet, a revolutionary, or an inspiring example of love. Even those who do not consider themselves Christians often admire him. When Jesus walked the earth, people had many different opinions about him, just as they do today. But his question to his disciples was personal. He asked, “Who do you say I am?” The apostle Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). This confession is at the heart of Christianity. Christians believe Jesus is much more than a remarkable man. We believe he is God who became human to rescue us. Why? Because every one of us has something we cannot fix on our own. We all carry guilt. We all have regrets. We all fail to love others—even ourselves—the way we know we should. The Bible calls this sin. Rather than leaving us separated from God, Jesus entered our world. He lived the perfect life we have not lived. He died on the cross to pay for our sins. Three days later, he rose from the dead, proving that sin and death no longer have the final word. Jesus did not come merely to teach people how to live. He came to save them. Perhaps you’ve never considered Jesus in that way before. Or perhaps you’ve dismissed Christianity because of disappointing experiences with Christians or Christian churches. If so, don't begin with Christians but with Christ himself. Read one of the Gospels. Ask honest questions. Consider his claims. The Christian faith ultimately rests on one person: Jesus Christ. And the question he asked Peter is still the question he lovingly asks every one of us today. Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to know you. Open my heart to understand who you are and what you have done for me. Lead me into your truth. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Your voice is the most temperamental instrument you’ll ever own, and this week Victor Carrillo Tracey – original company member of Broadway’s The Outsiders – walks you through what it takes to keep one working eight shows a week. Hydration and sleep swap places at number one, alcohol and caffeine cost more than you think, and inspiration doesn’t get a vote when downbeat is 8pm. You’ll hear how a single college voice lesson with a head cold taught Victor to navigate around a compromised instrument years before he needed it on Broadway, and why nerves usually answer to preparation rather than talent. Book the room. Play your opener as the last song of soundcheck. Always Be Performing starts well before anyone’s watching. Then it gets nerdy. Victor breaks down what a swing actually is (think relief pitcher), and how he covered nine tracks at once before working his way up to playing Paul full-time. You’ll pick up forced perspective, the staging trick that tells an audience exactly where to look and translates straight to your own stage. Plus the band sealed in the pit under the apron, monitor wedges in the floor and sidefills in the wings, a rig that tracks each voice around the house, watching a Broadway book get written in real time, and Dave’s case for mixing your in-ears in stereo instead of piling everything up the middle. Victor’s last Outsiders show is October 11th, right around performance number one thousand…and he still tells himself this is the best job ever before every show. 00:00:00 Gig Gab 548 – Monday, August 24th, 2026 August 24th: International Strange Music Day Guest co-host: Victor Carrillo Tracey 00:02:45 The voice is the most temperamental instrument 00:06:04 The benefits of an education Always Be Learning – Beginner's Mind 00:08:54 Learning to navigate around your voice when things are non-optimal 00:13:28 Taking care of your voice The most important thing is hydration.

Interference is for real. In football it can change the outcome of the game. From winning to losing with one whistle from the referee. It is one of the most detrimental penalties in football. The same is true in life as well. The interference we allow, can quite literally change the direction and outcome of our lives. When interference happens in football they keep playing. That's the good news. For the way to overcome interference and win in life is the same...we keep P.L.A.Y.ing and who doesn't want to do that? Listen to see what we're talking about.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260823dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16 Who Is Jesus? More books have been written about Jesus Christ than any other individual in history. One website estimates the number in the tens of thousands. As one might imagine, these books contain just about every opinion imaginable. Some view Jesus as God in human flesh. Others view him as a great human teacher. And some even claim that Jesus never existed at all. What about you? What do you believe about Jesus? That was the question Jesus asked his closest followers one day. There were all kinds of rumors floating around about this amazing Rabbi named Jesus. Although there were differences of opinion, everyone agreed that there was nothing ordinary about him. In fact, Jesus' words and miracles were so amazing that many people thought he must be one of the prophets of old who had come back to life. Peter, one of the men who knew Jesus best, understood why Jesus was so amazing. Jesus was none other than God himself, who came to earth in human flesh. Jesus was the One God had been promising since Adam and Eve had first rebelled against him. Jesus was the One who would repair the relationship between God and his rebellious children. Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He still is. Jesus is not simply a great human teacher. He is not just an interesting historical figure. He is not one religious leader among many. And he most certainly exists. He is your God. He is your Savior. He is your hope for a life beyond this one and your hope for a life of meaning and purpose here and now. Finally, it doesn’t really matter what a website says about Jesus. What matters is what you say about Jesus. Who do you say he is? Say he is your Lord and life and love—because he is. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for revealing yourself to me as my God and my Savior from sin. May this belief be reflected in everything I do and say. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260822dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. Matthew 15:23-28 Persevere A Canaanite woman came to Jesus with her humble plea to help her daughter who was tormented by a demon. But Jesus did not answer a word. It wasn’t that she just asked Jesus once; she continued to beg and plead for mercy. Yet Jesus acted as though he didn’t hear her. When the Savior pretended not to hear the woman’s plea, Jesus was not rebuffing her or being rude to her. There was no unwillingness to help her, but through his silence he sought to test and strengthen her faith. Jesus wanted her to persevere in her plea by the strength supplied from God through the promise of his Word. Jesus will use life’s circumstances for the great benefit of humbling us and teaching us to steadfastly cling to the promises of God’s Word. A persevering faith is for our good so that when our Savior comes back, we will not have disowned him in unbelief. But, by the power of God, we will have remained faithful to Jesus so that through him, we will enter eternal life. We praise our Savior that though there are times we always don’t understand the way he treats us, we know that he has our best interests in mind. So, in all circumstances we thank Jesus for helping us persevere and grow in our saving faith. Prayer: Jesus, the most important thing for me is to have faith in you as my Savior. Through testing and trials leads me to cling to the precious promises of your Word so that my faith will be sustained until the end when you will take me to glory of heaven. Amen.

Pamela Potts is an executive coach, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of Every Leader Is a Coach.She is the creator of the Leader Coach Approach™ and OMO Method™, helping founders and senior leaders build trust, strengthen accountability, and multiply their impact through coaching-based leadership.With more than 25 years of experience building and scaling high-growth technology and ed-tech companies, Pamela brings a practical, human-centered approach to developing people and creating sustainable performance.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Pamela Potts to explore why effective sales leadership is less about directing people and more about developing them.Pamela explains why successful salespeople don't automatically become successful leaders. Leadership requires a different skill set—listening deeply, staying curious, asking better questions, and helping people develop solutions they genuinely own.She introduces her OMO Method: Observe, Map, and Optimize, a practical framework for coaching without judgment, uncovering what is really happening, and helping people create their own path forward.The conversation also explores accountability, trust, consultative selling, and self-coaching. Pamela challenges leaders to stop becoming the bottleneck and become the multiplier—because great leaders don't simply manage people. They develop them.KEY TAKEAWAYSTrust starts with self-awareness. Understand your own perspective before trying to understand someone else's.Become a multiplier, not a bottleneck. Leadership is about developing capability in others. Great sellers don't automatically become great leaders. Coaching requires a different set of skills. Choose curiosity over judgment. Listen to understand instead of immediately trying to solve. Ask better questions. “Tell me more” can unlock insights that advice never will. Use the OMO Method. Observe, Map, and Optimize to turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Let people own their solutions. People are more committed to ideas they help create. Accountability belongs in coaching. Clear commitments, follow-up, and feedback turn conversations into action. Coach yourself first. Self-coaching creates the awareness needed to effectively develop others. Treat failure as data. Use setbacks as information for improvement rather than reasons to stop.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWe stop being the bottleneck and start being the multiplier for our teams.What we're doing is listening to actually hear instead of solve.What we solve and what we contribute to is what we own.We're not going to manage people.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260821dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” Matthew 15:21-22 Don’t Think You Are Not Welcome This woman had every reason to stay away from Jesus. She was a Canaanite. Jesus was a Jew. For centuries, there had been a separation between Jews and Gentiles. The Canaanites were not part of Israel. They were not heirs of the Old Testament covenant in the same way the Jewish people were. Yet she came anyway. Desperation certainly played a role. Her daughter was suffering terribly. But there was something more. This woman believed that Jesus could help. She even addressed him as “Lord, Son of David,” recognizing him as the promised Messiah. Somehow, she had come to trust that this Jewish teacher was more than a teacher. He was the Savior. What happened next might seem discouraging at first. Jesus initially remained silent. Then he spoke of being sent to the lost sheep of Israel. Yet the woman did not give up. She continued to plead for mercy. She trusted that Jesus’ compassion was greater than the barriers that seemed to stand between them. And she was right. By the end of the account, Jesus praised her faith and granted her request. Her daughter was healed, and the outsider was welcomed. What a beautiful picture of God’s grace toward us. By nature, we too were outsiders. Sin separated us from God. We had no claim upon his favor and no right to stand in his presence. Yet he came to save the world. Through his perfect life, sacrificial death, and glorious resurrection, he opened the door of salvation to all people. Like the Canaanite woman, we approach Jesus empty-handed. We come seeking mercy, not deserving rewards. We come confessing our need, not our worthiness. And like that woman, we discover that Jesus welcomes us. So come to him boldly. The mercy you seek is found in him, and his welcome is greater than you ever expected. Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for welcoming me into your family through your saving grace. Amen.
