A Lifelong Song of Service: John and Lou Ann MohlerJohn and Lou Ann Mohler's story began on the campus of Cedarville University, where a Michigan girl met an Ohio boy in concert chorale. What started with a warm February day, a convertible ride to the Indian Mound, and a first date filled with talk of old girlfriends (John's idea of charm, perhaps?) bloomed into a 46-year marriage built on shared faith, music, and ministry.After college, the Mohlers began their careers as teachers — John directing bands and orchestras and Lou Ann teaching English and drama. But as their hearts leaned more toward church ministry, God led them to Patterson Park Church in Dayton, Ohio. In 1985, John stepped into a pastoral role, and what began as a small church of about 200 has flourished under their leadership.For 40 years, John has faithfully directed worship, blending hymns with modern praise songs in a way that draws generations together. With a full choir and orchestra — a rarity these days — the Mohlers have crafted a worship experience that is both reverent and joyful.Their legacy isn't just in music or programs — it's in the people. From small groups to mission trips to Albania, from raising their children in the church to mentoring younger pastors, John and Lou Ann have cultivated community all their lives. Even as retirement nears, John continues to teach future worship leaders, ensuring that what he's helped build will endure.In a fast-moving world, the Mohlers have been a steady presence — faithful, humble, and full of grace. And for those at Patterson Park, their legacy is more than music — it's love lived out loud.Learn more about this couple's amazing journey on the Cedarville Stories podcast.https://share.transistor.fm/s/070bb0dahttps://youtu.be/CqDD4krljeE

Trust. It's yet another essential ingredient in building and sustaining elite teams. This week on The Mark Divine Show, Mark does a deep dive into the art and science of trust, drawing from his rich experience with the Navy SEALs, and his book “Staring Down The Wolf”.    Mark shares tales that unveil the true nature of leadership when things go sideways, and unpacks the three foundational pillars of trust—transparency, humility, and relentless follow-through. He discusses how authentic leadership is forged by facing down fears—-particularly the fear of failure.    Using insights from the military and his own personal growth journey, Mark issues a call to action for leaders everywhere to look inward, trust themselves first, and lead with character and courage.   Key Takeaways:  Relentless Follow-Through: Understand that trust is cemented when leaders do what they say, support their teams, and make sure crucial lessons lead to real action and positive change.   Facing The Fear of Failure: Realize that  leaders who are afraid of failure tend to become perfectionists, procrastinators, or careerists, which ultimately weakens teams and limits growth. Authenticity Matters: Recognize that staying authentic, consistent, and operating from humility will spread trust throughout your team.   Trust is Critical in Team Performance: Discover how trust acts as the “glue” for elite teams, and the consequences of lacking it can be mediocrity and underperformance.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness. Mark's journey began in New York City, where his fascination with eastern philosophy and martial arts set the stage for a transformative path. After a successful stint as a consultant at PriceWaterhouse Coopers, he made the pivotal decision to join the Navy SEALs at 25. Over two decades of service, Mark commanded critical missions globally, retiring as a Commander in 2011. Mark has trained elite organizations including Google, Nike, SpaceX, Boeing, Harvard University, The Olympics, YPO, and many others.Co-founding ventures such as SEALFIT, Unbeatable Mind, LLC, and Coronado Brewing Company have allowed Mark to blend his military expertise with entrepreneurial spirit. SEALFIT, born from his SEAL training insights, revolutionized physical and mental conditioning, impacting diverse groups from executives to athletes.Inspired by his military service, Mark founded the Courage Foundation to support veterans in holistic healing and restoration of purpose. Advocating for mental resilience and compassionate leadership, he aims to impact 100 million lives, fostering a more connected and courageous world.   Mark's Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineshow  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/RealMarkDivine/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sealfit/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/markdivineleadership/    Sponsors and Promotions: Marley Spoon: This new year, fast-track your way to eating well with Marley Spoon.

Send us a textIn this compelling episode of Navigating the Customer Experience Podcast, we speak with Jay Sapovits, a dynamic and resilient entrepreneur with a flair for reinvention. Jay's journey began with a bold move across the country at age 18, setting the tone for a life rich in unconventional choices and high-profile experiences. With a knack for spotting opportunity in adversity, Jay has built a career rooted in innovation, grit, and human connection.From Retail to Revolutionary: The Ink Stores StoryJay is currently leading Ink Stores, a full-service promotional company specializing in on-demand webstores. Originally a traditional storefront business, the pandemic forced a dramatic pivot. In response, Jay transformed the company into an online powerhouse that builds, hosts, and fulfills custom merchandise stores for businesses—with no inventory, minimums, or upfront costs. This reinvention not only helped Ink Stores survive but thrive in a competitive, post-COVID market.Real-World Impact: Swag Without the HassleJay shares a powerful client use case involving a holiday employee gift initiative. Rather than requiring HR to manage sizing, style, and distribution of branded jackets, Ink Stores created a custom online portal. Employees could independently select sizes, styles, and colors, and orders were shipped directly to them—eliminating friction, protecting employee dignity, and freeing HR from uncomfortable sizing conversations. It's a prime example of how Ink's model prioritizes autonomy, convenience, and a seamless experience.Jay's Must-Have Business Tools & BooksWhen asked about a tool he can't live without, Jay simply answers: Email. He's responsive to a fault—often replying within seconds—and views this real-time communication style as a core operational strength.Two books stand out in shaping Jay's business philosophy:Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty by Harvey Mackay – A classic on proactive networking.How to Become a Rainmaker by Jeffrey Fox – Jay's all-time favorite sales book, packed with short, punchy insights on winning and keeping clients. He frequently recommends it to job candidates and young professionals.Strategic Priorities in Uncertain TimesAs 2025 unfolds amid economic pressure and political shifts, Jay remains grounded. His three focus areas:Stay connected with customersFollow industry trendsPrioritize team culture and employee well-beingNotably, Jay refuses to raise prices despite rising supplier costs. He views opportunistic pricing as short-sighted and is committed to rewarding loyal customers with price stability—or even reductions. His values stand in contrast to what he calls “price gouging” across many industries.What's Next? A Leap Into TechJay is currently expanding his capabilities through tech and AI by interviewing candidates for data science and development roles—areas outside his comfort zone but essential for scaling customer experience. His willingness to push into unfamiliar territory speaks volumes about his growth mindset.Words to Live ByJay shares a simple but profound quote taped to his computer: “If you promise someone something, keep it.”He explains that success is a series of doing simple things right—choosing the next right action, over and over again. In Jay's eyes, life isn't about making mistakes unknowingly; it's about consciously choosing right versus wrong. Stacking up the right choices, he believes, leads to a meaningful, impactful life.Connect with Jay Sapovits:

In this insightful episode of "Father and Joe," Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks delve into the complex yet enriching journey of cultivating trust and fostering meaningful relationships with ourselves, others, and God. They explore the intricacies of trust—how it's built step-by-step through integrity, dependability, and consistency, and how it's intrinsically linked to vulnerability. The hosts candidly discuss the challenges around rebuilding trust, especially for those who have experienced trauma, and highlight the importance of being open to growth in relationships.Father Boniface provides a profound perspective on how our daily, seemingly simple interactions are rooted in unexpected levels of trust. Whether navigating a complex journey through a foreign market or simply shopping at a local store, trust silently governs many aspects of our lives. Joe emphasizes that understanding trust starts from within, analyzing our past interactions, and being conscious of the behaviors that foster or hinder relational growth.Listeners are invited to envision their relationships as a canvas, where the practice of mental preparation can be as impactful as the actions themselves. Drawing parallels from sports, Joe illustrates how champions attain mastery not only through physical prowess but through mental agility—foreshadowing their moves and understanding their counterparts' strategies. This analogy extends into relational dynamics, where understanding others' preferences can significantly enhance our interactions and emotional bonds.The conversation further deepens into self-reflection's role in improving relational and spiritual lives. It highlights Pope Francis's teachings on losing touch with our hearts due to societal distractions, advocating for a slower pace that allows for introspection. The two hosts reiterate the need for reflecting on questions of identity, purpose, and divine relationship to maintain a more fulfilled and engaged life.Father Boniface and Joe eloquently conclude that just as much—or even more—growth occurs through thoughtful reflection and genuine communication. They underline that life's challenges invite us to continuously learn, adapt, and nurture our relationships spiritually and interpersonally.This episode serves as a compelling reminder that opening our hearts and minds can transform relationships, weaving trust into the very fabric of our lives. By integrating these elements into our daily practices, we not only enrich our connections with others but also create more space for a profound union with God.Tags: Spiritual Direction, Relationship Building, Trust Development, Self-Reflection, God, Faith Journey, Mental Preparation, Personal Growth, Prayer Practice, Relationship Dynamics, Emotional Intelligence, Trust in Relationships, Vulnerability, Integrity, Dependability, Spiritual Growth, Building Trust, Emotional Connection, Mindfulness, Personal Relationships, Communication Skills, Trustworthiness, Self-Awareness, Reflection, Spirituality, Overcoming Trauma, Religious Guidance, Heartfelt Conversations, Everyday Trust, Relationship Skills, Emotional Growth, Connection with God, God's Will, Christian Faith, Relationship Analysis, Spiritual Practices, Church Life, Engaging Faith, God's Teachings, Podcast SeriesHashtags: #FatherAndJoe #SpiritualDirection #Trust #RelationshipBuilding #FaithJourney #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #Communication #EmotionalIntelligence #TrustInRelationships #Vulnerability #Integrity #Dependability #SpiritualGrowth #Mindfulness #PrayerPractice #ConnectionWithGod #ChristianFaith #EmotionalConnection #UnderstandingOthers #GodsWill #RelationalDynamics #ReligionAndFaith #HeartfeltConversations #PersonalRelationships #SpiritualPractice #EverydayTrust #RelationshipAnalysis #SelfAwareness #GodsTeachings #FaithAndLife #FaithPodcast #ReflectiveLiving #BuildingTrust #OvercomingTrauma #EmotionalGrowth #EngagingFa

In Week 4 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt walks us through Jonah 3, where we see the ripple effects of repentance across an entire city. Sin has immediate impact and long-term consequences—but the grace of God meets us in the middle of our rebellion with an invitation to turn. In Nineveh, even imperfect obedience from a reluctant prophet leads to radical transformation. Through Jonah's flawed witness, we're reminded that repentance isn't just regret—it's turning toward life. In a world shaped by distorted contexts and broken systems, the gospel breaks in with hope, power, and new direction.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Week 3 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt takes us into the belly of the fish—Jonah's lowest moment—to reveal a surprising truth: there is good news at the bottom. As Jonah cries out from the depths, we're reminded that God hears us in the worst places and saves us to the best place—His presence. Through raw prayer, deep repentance, and surprising mercy, Jonah discovers what we all long to know: we are never beyond the reach of God's love. Even in our darkest places, Jesus is there, offering grace, hope, and rescue.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Saw a fantastic list that got me thinking about things that not only money can't buy, but also realizing these things are more valuable than money AND they are all things that I (and maybe others) need to keep getting better with.  From Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) This list here shows “Things money can't buy: 1. Manners 2. Morals 3. Respect 4. Character 5. Common sense 6. Trust 7. Patience 8. Class 9. Integrity 10. Love.” The other thing that I noticed about this list is that the world needs more people living more and more in their everyday lives.  Also remember that since there are not many people living these - when we do live things on this list, we end up looking better - all thanks to those that choose not to be examples.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Send us a textSteel tariffs have officially arrived, and their impact is already reverberating throughout the metal building industry. In this candid conversation, Jared and Eric dive deep into how these economic changes are reshaping business practices, pricing structures, and customer relationships.The duo shares real-world examples of how some dealers are responding to economic pressure with questionable tactics – from hidden contract clauses that allow price changes after deposit to refusing to disclose manufacturer information until after payment. One particularly alarming story involves a customer who nearly fell victim to a bait-and-switch scheme until discovering the fine print allowed the company to arbitrarily increase prices after commitment."The quality of the industry will rise if everyone gets together and says we have to be better," Jared emphasizes, highlighting how economic challenges might ultimately strengthen the industry by rewarding transparency and ethical business practices. Both hosts stress the importance of due diligence for customers and integrity for dealers during this transitional period.The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Jared reveals a surprising TikTok shop experience where a customer purchased a $30,000 building with a single tap without speaking to anyone – demonstrating both the opportunities and pitfalls of evolving sales channels. This leads to a thoughtful discussion about trust, consumer behavior, and adapting to changing market conditions.Whether you're a metal building professional navigating tariff impacts or a potential customer wondering how these changes affect your building purchase, this episode delivers the straight talk and practical wisdom you need.

As we head into the solstice- that moment when the sun stands still—whether you're in the northern hemisphere where we have the longest day, or the southern, where it's the longest night—this solstice feels like a moment of transformation. The world is turning over, turning a page. The old system is visibly—palpably—breaking apart. A new system will arise from the ashes, because there is always going to be a system. The question is what it looks like, works like, feels like. We are a prosocial, communitarian species, but our culture has shattered from our knowing of our integral place in the All That Is, so it's possible we might end up with a system predicated on hatred, underpinned by fear, where a small number of incredibly frightened people let their traumatised parts run a scorched earth policy in an effort to hold back everything of which they are most afraid, but I am increasingly hopeful that what we're seeing in places is the extinction burst of the old system: its death throes if you like. As I record this, there has been an estimated turnout in the US for the No Kings rallies of between ten and twelve million. This is an astonishing number. If it's true, it's well within shouting distance of the 3.5% of the total population that was considered a tipping point in previous social movements in our recent history: the abolition of slavery in the UK, the civil rights movement in the US, gay marriage in too many nations to count. The difference is that these numbers are based on a pre-internet age. We genuinely don't know what happens when people can see the images on their phones and realise how many of the people around them share the common values of decency, compassion, integrity, generosity-of-spirit.  So if this is potentially a turning point in the making in the US, how do we make this bigger, grander, more of a global movement?  We know we need total systemic change, but how do we make it happen?  How do we create lasting change in our ways of organising everything from food to water to shelter to education. How do we sort our mess of a governance system so we can find those with the greatest wisdom and give them as much power as they need and no more, at all the levels of our culture? As ever, I think the answer lies in our narratives - when ideas become common currency, then we begin to build them into our visions of how the world is and has been and could be. If we can become bold, evolutionary imagineers and craft stories of a different way of organising, loving, relating, caring…then we can live it into being. Which means we need to know in the marrow of our bones what this feels like. Imagination begins in our perception of the possible and part of the horror of the Trauma culture is the systematic stifling of possibility. From our books to our movies to our TV to our TikTok videos, so much is predicated on Trauma Culture narratives of scarcity, separation and powerlessness.  We are told this is the way the world is. That it is human nature to  lack all morality and engage in zero sum strategies that belittle, disempower and crush everyone around us.  Which it isn't. Nonetheless, predatory Capitalism is designed to keep us from imagining things differently. If we're stressed about earning enough to survive while at the same time being hooked on the things we absolutely have to have to feel better, and are being steadily more sedated by the incessant dopamine drips of social media…then we literally cannot step out into other ways of being. So this is our task now - to wean ourselves off the stuff we neither need nor (really) want; off the dopamine drips, and onto things that make our hearts sing so we can build new stories predicated on connection, agency and sufficiency; stories where we are self-conscious nodes in the web of life, and it's our job to ask 'What do you want of me?', listen to the answers, then carry them out to the best of our ability.  That's it. Easy to say. Harder to do.  But we can boil things down to 9 basic concepts:Three Values: Integrity, Compassion, Generosity-of-SpiritThree Baselines: Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil Three ReWoven Connections: between all parts of Ourselves; ourselves and Each Other; Ourselves and the Web of Life. What happens if every single thing we think or do or say or dream is based in these three sets of three? How would our days change? This isn't going to happen overnight, but we can make the commitment to live by them now. Here. This moment.  It's not going to be easy: changing behaviours never is. But we have baselines to work from.  And we might focus on one at a time.  What happens if Clean Water is our priority? How does it change how we live?  What happens if we make Integrity the heart and soul of every interaction through our days - beginning with ourselves? What does it feel like to commit to re-weaving clean, clear, courageous, compassionate connections between all parts of ourselves, ourselves and each other, ourselves and the More than Human world? Clearly I think the inner work is the foundation of everything, though I am aware that this isn't the case for everyone: if you work better in the outer world, if you'd rather lead with head than heart, that's fine, truly.  Go for it.  Find the Values that speak to you and the Baselines you can work with and go for it.  If the Inner Work speaks more to you then know that we in the west need to heal ten thousand years of Trauma Culture in half a decade. It's been at least that long for some of us since our ancestors knew themselves to be an integral part of the web of life. This is the work of the spiritual warrior. It's going to take astonishing levels of courage and commitment. Nobody is pretending this is easy.  But it is essential.And because this is the water I swim in, I'd like to share the basics of how we might get there. It starts with Grounding - with having a clear sense of our physical presence in the world, the flesh and the bones and the teeth of who we are; with sensing the solid earth beneath us as support, containment, holding, as the reality of who and what we are. When our feet are on the earth, there is nowhere left to fall. When we have a sense of roots going down into the earth, we have connection, holding and an open path from the heart of the earth to our heart. If we connect it on up to the heart-mind of the Universe, we have the three hearts in alignment. Just doing this is huge. But then, as we begin really to live in our bodies, so we can begin to recognise the places where trauma sits; the frozen places, the stuck places, the parts of ourselves that leap to our own defence - and are brilliant and wonderful and creative - but who are probably defending against threats that occurred decades ago, if not longer. We carry generational trauma, civilisational trauma. And the healing is ours to do: the good news is that there's a lot of help out there - that just as we really need it, we're beginning really to get to grips with how healing can happen. One to one work is good if you have the means: the time and the money, but many of us don't - and that doesn't mean we can't do the work.  If you'd like to work in groups there's a huge amount.  We offer Gatherings and the Membership, but there's Listen to Thomas Hübl Mystic Cafe — I'll link to his podcast Point of Relation in the show notes —Tara Brach, Michael Meade, Bill Plotkin, Jon Young…a host of others are offering online work that helps you to reconnect to yourself and the land. You have to find out what helps you best, but there's a lot out there. So we do the inner work. And in doing it, we become the still point in the whirling world that...

In this thought-provoking episode of My Simplified Life, Michelle Glogovac and co-host Stephanie Hockersmith (aka Pie Lady Books) dive deep into the world of book influencing, shining a light on what integrity and authenticity really mean in today's crowded literary landscape. From spotting trustworthy book influencers to discussing the true impact of genuine engagement, Michelle and Steph unpack how staying authentic can shape careers—and conversations—around books. They explore why quality engagement trumps follower count, how transparent reading habits build community trust, and why emerging voices in the book world shouldn't underestimate the power of staying true to themselves. Whether you're a reader, author, or aspiring book influencer, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about preserving the soul of storytelling and championing diverse, authentic literary voices. What We're Talking About Trust is built through genuine engagement with book influencers. Integrity is essential for lasting influence in the literary world. Books have the power to change perspectives and foster empathy. Authenticity in recommendations is crucial for building trust. Emerging voices in the book community should stay true to themselves. Quality of engagement matters more than quantity in influencing. Reading can provide insights into diverse experiences and cultures. Influencers should be transparent about their reading habits. The literary world is competitive, but authenticity can set you apart. Every voice in the book community matters, regardless of their following.
