Bestie… some agents are losing referrals and don't even realize they messed it up.In this episode, I'm sharing two real stories: • One agent who completely fumbled a listing opportunity • And one blind referral that turned into a six-figure opportunityThe difference? Reputation, follow-up, and client experience.We're talking about:Why your name is already being spoken in rooms you're not inThe prayer I started praying over my businessHow agents quietly lose referrals through silence and poor communicationWhat “fumbling the bag” actually looks like in real estateThe framework that keeps referrals coming on repeatIf you want a referral-based real estate business, you can't rely on luck. You need faith and systems.And yes… we're talking about both.✨ The Prayer: “Lord, let my name be spoken in rooms I'm not in. And give me the courage and discipline to honor that opportunity.”If you're serious about building a business by design instead of by accident, this one is for you.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE

In this episode, I'm sharing how I think about value now, after years of refining my own pricing and helping dozens of people refine theirs. For a long time, many of us were taught to measure our work in hours and deliverables. But when I zoomed out, I realised my clients weren't paying for time. They were paying for what changed because of the work, what became easier, what started earning, what stopped feeling heavy. When your pricing doesn't reflect that wider impact, it creates pressure. You either feel underpaid or you overextend yourself trying to prove your fee.I walk you through the framework I created to solve this — TESSA. It's the system I've used for the last four years to help service providers stop guessing their rates and start pricing in a way that feels grounded and strategic.We look at Time, Energy, Skills, Specialism and Asset value, the five layers that exist in your work whether you're acknowledging them or not. When you price across all five, the numbers begin to make sense.If pricing has felt like the piece of your business that keeps wobbling, I recorded this for you. I want you to feel proud when you say your price. I want your business to feel expansive rather than draining. And I want you to have a structure that supports you long-term, rather than changing your rates every few months because you're unsure.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy pricing based purely on hours keeps you cappedHow clients actually experience valueThe link between undercharging and burnoutWhat I mean by “high energy tax”How your experience and training should shape your pricingWhy specialism increases your perceived valueWhen asset value and ROI should be factored inThe 5-part TESSA framework and how to apply it“When you only price on time, you either undercharge for the depth of your expertise or you overwork to justify the price.”If pricing has been the thing you constantly spiral over, the thing that makes you second-guess yourself, over-deliver, or quietly resent your work join my new pricing bootcamp, Rave Your Rates. Rave this way HERE! Step into my festival world...

Delivered by Evelyn from the Parish of Holy Spirit in the Archdiocese of Singapore. James 1: 12-18; Rs psalm 94: 12-13a.14-15.18-19; Mark 8: 14-21.STRONG IN FACINGTRIALS The title for our meditation today is: Strong inFacing Trials. In the New Testament of the holy scriptures, Jesus Christteaches us to be strong in facing trials. The experience of facing a trial or testcan be seen similar to a judgement, which means to test someone whether he isable to pass the trial or not. For example, in the Gospel of Matthew 26:41,which is the same as Mark 14:38 and Luke 22:40, Jesus reminds us to always bestrong in prayer and vigilant against the danger of falling into temptation.Our flesh or body is weak, so it is easy to become target and tempted byenemies. God Himself also reminded His people in the OldTestament to be strong against the temptations, trials and evil forces in life.When Moses faced Pharaoh in Egypt, he was truly in a severe trial. But he wasalso obedient to God's guidance and commands. By adhering to this principlethat God teaches and strengthens us, it is clear a  mere game or joke to assume that God alsotempts us. There is a presumption or preception among us that God disturbs andtempts us. This is just taken for granted as a kind of temptation that we humannormally face. But this is obviously impossible. How does the Lord strengthenus, however, He also tempts what He Himself ordains, strengthens and protects? Therefore Saint James in the first reading affirmsthat it is impossible for God to tempt us his beloved children. God does nothave a system of operation like any other human and spirit beings who have evildesire to try, to tempt, or to deceive others. The prince of tempters and evilspirits is the devil. This satanic power prioritizes his work on human behaviorthat is against God's way. Naturally humans have freedom, therefore, anybodycan choose to follow the influence of Satan. So man is tried and tempted by hisor her own desire that has been controlled by the evil one. When do we know that we meet a trial or temptation?The accounts in today's Gospel describe a common situation when someone fecestrials. When our minds and hearts begin to understand and consider that God isfar away or not with us. When we worry or presume that our fate will be indifficulty because there are so many challenges, difficulties, and threatsaround us. Moreover, we are deeply haunted by our inability to deal with all thechallenges and problems. So, temptations will reach us when there is only alittle faith, when there is assumption that there are many threats around us,and the view that God is far away. Therefore, this is the advice for us: that wemust be strong!Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O Almighty God,fill us with a brave and strong spirit of faith to face all the trials and temptationsin this life. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit... Inthe name of the Father ...

Delivered by Cendani from the Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption Mamajang in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. James 1: 1-11; Rs psalm 119: 67.68.71.72.75.76; Mark 8: 11-13.ENJOYING THETEST The title for our meditation today is: Enjoying theTest. In all aspects of our lives, the test takes place in a process to prove aresult in both quantity and quality. Whatever the form and character of thetest, the basic condition that we knowledge is that the person who takes thetest is being tried or tested for a standard of qualification.  There is a common attitude or reaction seen in the onewho faces the test. This is about the state of the mind and body of the one whofaces the test, namely the negative or positive reaction. People can benervous, palpitating, scared, insecure, and complaining. People can also bebrave, concentrated, focused, confident, exited to face and finally pass thetest. The situation can be seen on their faces, but even more exciting is intheir souls. Both of these situations illustrate how one enjoys the test. People behave negatively when facing tests due tovarious reasons. The most common one is because the person concerned hasinsufficient knowledge or basically unprepared. Mental or emotionalunpreparedness usually causes the human body nervous, shaking, sweaty, andweak. In such circumstances, surrender perhaps becomes impossible when forinstance the person concerned does not refuse to face and proceed to take itwith the risk of an outcome below expectation. This proportionally contradicts with the positive andoptimistic behavior when someone facing tets, namely the person concerned isready in spirit and body. In fact, this readiness is expressed with anexcitement and longing to anticipate the test. This behavior can prove that theperson concerned is confident on the results to be achieved with satisfactionand meeting expectations. Hopefully this behavior also represents a mental characterin those who believe that good or bad results are not their concern, but anopportunity to learning and trainning to maturity. These two positive behaviors are shown by our tworeadings today. Saint James in the first reading advises that the tests in lifemust be faced and passed that we may be able to remain in perseverance in thepath to perfection. Jesus was constantly tested by the Pharisees and thescribes. But usually Jesus silenced them. He is God, so there is no need for atest. But what He considers to be a setback is that those who tested Him hadproved to gain nothing. It means that Jesus is always ready, whereas they werenot prepared to face test. So the basic law is certain: before the actual test,you must first start with many warm-up exams, namely preparations andanticipation in all ways and forms.Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord JesusChrist, teach us to put the right and appropriate words and actions in everyopportunity we face the various tests of life. Hail Mary, full of grace... Inthe name of the Father ...

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. 2 Samuel 6: 12b-15.17-19; Rs psalm 24: 7.8.9.10; Mark 3: 31-35.REJOICE, GODEXISTS!  Our meditation today is entitled: Rejoice, God Exists!Believers believe that God exists. God also works to protect, nurture and savemankind. The evidence that God exists and is always working for us isundoubted, namely in the scriptures with all their narratives and explanations.Believers need to always read and meditate on the scriptures so that they canhave more faith that God exists and continues to work. Apart from reading and hearing God's words, there aremany other ways used by believers to acknowledge that God exists. One of themis to live in joy. Although we are not free from sins and sufferings of life,joy is always a strength that we desperately need. On this day we are taught tostrengthen our joy and grow in the spirit of joy and happiness. Why?  Because joy in us often passes away quickly, flieswith the wind, lost in the seasons. When work and busyness pile up, joy islost. When we have illness and find difficulties, joy goes away. When competinghelplessly in the pursuit of sustenance, achievements, and propectful progress,joy seems difficult to present. When failure comes, joy disappears somewhere.  David, when entering holy city with all the people, herejoiced in carrying the ark of God to be put in its proper place. The joyfulresponse of David and his people was certainly extraordinary. All the elements andsupports for the celebration were complete. Their joy was full. All rejoicedbecause God was with them. Jesus Christ assures us that He is with us. Heassures us that the words he is speaking enter into every one who hears them.And when it is implemented in one's life, joy grows healthy and develops withinhim. The Word is the person of God Himself, as says theevangelist John. He comes in and dwells in us, then embraces and unites us allas brothers and sisters in the one Lord Jesus Christ. Here lies the great joybecause we are all united as one people. When there is separation, division andclaim of one group to be better and more privileged than another, joy loses itsmeaning and value. The holy Eucharist must be the most importantexperience that always strengthens our joy as believers. We receive the Wordthrough the reading and reflection of the scriptures, then we come to the HolyCommunion where the Word becomes flesh for our meal; this is where joy comes tous. Our joy becomes complete. So if you want to fill yourself with the joy fromthe Lord, come to the Eucharist. There is no other way. Let us pray. In the name of the Father... O most loving Father,may we be blessed with the fullness of joy in the celebration of the Eucharistin Your Church. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit... Inthe name of the Father ...

Ephesians 5:1-21Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, asChrist also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrificeto God for a sweet-smelling aroma.Today we are looking at Ephesians 5:1-2, where the Apostle Paul gives us theclear admonition to walk in love. Also in in these two verses, Paul also givesus several reasons why we should walk in love. First, he tells us in verse 1 to“be imitators of God as dear children.” As the children of God, we areto be reflectors of who He is. God is love, and therefore we should reflectthat love—the love God has for us and for the world around us. Themost quoted verse in the Bible, one we all know so well, tells us: “For Godso loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” God is a lovingGod, and because He is love, He is also a God who gives. As His children, weare called to love and to give of ourselves sacrificially for His glory. Ilove the phrase Paul uses here, “as dear children.” Sometranslations say, “as beloved children.” Remember, at least twicein the Gospel of Matthew, the Father speaks from heaven and declares His lovefor His Son. At the baptism of Jesus in Matthew chapter 3, and again on theMount of Transfiguration in Matthew chapter 17, God says, “This is Mybeloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Nowthink about this—we too are His beloved children. 1 John 3:1–3, tells us, “Beholdwhat manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be calledchildren of God.” In Romans chapter 8, we are told that we cry out, “Abba,Father.” We have an intimate, personal relationship with our Father inheaven. Because of that relationship, and as proof of it, we should desire toshow forth His love to the world around us as imitators of God and as Hisbeloved children. Ialso think about what Jesus prayed in John 17:23. He said, “I in them, andYou in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may knowthat You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”Jesus prayed and said, “Father, just as You have loved Me, You love them.”Can you imagine that? Jesus is the beloved Son of God, and He tells us that theFather loves us in the same way He loves Him. How much does God love you? Heloves you with the same love He has for His beloved Son—whom He gave as asacrifice for the sins of the world. So,we see several reasons here for walking in love. We are children of God. Weshare in His nature, and His nature is love. We are beloved children who desireto please our Father in heaven. We cry out, “Abba, Father.” And then we see athird reason in verse 2: “Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us,an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Thisphrase, “a sweet-smelling aroma,” is very meaningful. Our reflection ofChrist's love is pleasing to God—it rises as a sweet fragrance before Him. Inthe book of Leviticus, chapters 1 through 3 describe the three sweet savorofferings: the burnt offering, the meal offering, and the peace offering. Theburnt offering pictures Christ's complete devotion to God. The meal offeringreflects His perfect character. The peace offering shows Christ making peacebetween sinful man and a holy God. Thesin offering and the trespass offering, found in Leviticus chapters 4 and 5,are not sweet savor offerings. Why? Because sin is not sweet or beautiful. Sinis what put Christ on the cross. Sin is what condemned us and would send us toa devil's hell apart from Christ.  Oh,my friend, today let us remember who we are. We are dear children ofGod—beloved children—loved with an unimaginable, unconditional, selfless love.Therefore, let us walk in love as “His beloved children” Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day.

If you want 2026 to feel different, your systems have to change — not your personality, not your caffeine intake. In this episode, I'm walking you through the practice systems that actually save time, reduce chaos, and keep you out of that constant “I'll fix it later” mode.I break down what a system really is, why most private practice owners don't realize what's broken, and how overwhelm usually shows up right when your practice starts growing. Whether you're brand new or already busy, this episode helps you build a foundation that can scale without burning you out.We focus on the three core systems every practice needs from day one: how potential clients become real clients, how you communicate in a way that's ethical and sustainable, and how money moves through your business without stress or confusion.In this episode, I cover:How to design a “potential client to client” system that reduces friction and increases show-upsWhy your communication system has to be HIPAA-compliant and fit your nervous systemHow to build a money exchange system before your first client ever walks inThe difference between “shiny” marketing and “sticky” systems that actually convertIf your practice feels reactive, scattered, or harder than it needs to be, this episode will help you rebuild your systems so your business can support you, not drain you.If you want ongoing CE credit, leadership support, and real-world training you can actually apply, the Step It Up Membership is where this work deepens over time. Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

Delivered by Celine from the Parish of Santo Marinus Yohanes in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. 1 Samuel 9: 1-4.17-19; 10: 1a; Rs psalm 21: 2-3.4-5.6-7; Mark 2: 13-17.STRATEGY TO CHANGE ASINNER The title for ourmeditation today is: Strategy to Change a Sinner. Jesus' preferential optionfor the sick, paralyzed, poor, possessed by evil spirits is as strong as Hiscompassion for sinners. Sinful persons are those who are spiritually sick.Public sinners such as thieves, rapists, prostitutes, and tax collectors, areseriously sick because they destroy and damage many people's life. Societyconseder them as bad as rubbish. Public sinners areactually those who sin openly in the community and even to their own families.They are controlled by a system applied in society. Men or women prostitute,for example, they are controlled by the burden of life and living system is thesociety they belong to. Today's Gospel introduces us a life of a public sinner,namely Levi the son of Alphaeus. He was a public tax collector who served theRoman authorities. Of course he wasconsidered very sinful because in dealing with public taxation, he cheated muchin collecting people's money and goods. People in the society really hated him,but he continued to sin because law was protecting him to do so. Levi was knownin the circle of the twelve apostles by the name of Matthew. The evangelistMatthew calls him the tax collector. Public sins are very painful and heavy forthe community and the sinner himself or herself cannot avoid it. Therefore Jesus mustinterfere in this matter. The technique that he used was to come face to face,called him by name, and not just invited but ordered him to stop that sinfullact. This implies sins that not only cause self-harm but are very harmful to manypeople and become serious sins. These kind of sins must be stopped. Serious bigsins should not be allowed to develop and spread. If they are not controlledand stopped, the one who involves in it can be considered collaborating withDevils or working for Satan. Israel as a nationwas not allowed to continue their stubborn and sinful ways. God stopped this bymaking Saul their king. A new system came to bring necessary goodness and theold system must be left behind. Jesus changes the sinners like Levi, so did thesame with many others such as Mary Magdalene and Paul, because they had thepotential to become great criminals and could harm many people. They must beused positively for the new system of faith that Jesus uses. Through baptism,Jesus Christ makes us part of the new system that He has created. The sins thatwe committed after baptism are many and of various types, but the Lord Jesushas a way to change our lives. The Church carries out this duty by becoming aninstrument for changing people's lives.  Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Jesus Christ, deliver us from bad and negative habits that often plungeus into sin. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... Inthe name of the Father ...

Paul reminds us of the motive behind each of the five admonitionsof sins that we are to “put off”. The admonition “to put off lying”.Why? The motivation is because we are members of one another, and therefore weare to speak the truth to one another. The next admonition is, “Be angry, anddo not sin; do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to thedevil.” The motivation is to remember that whenever we allow anger to get thebest of us—when anger turns into bitterness and malice, and then is released inwrath—it brings harm, hurt, and destruction to others and even to ourselves. Atthat point, we have given place to the devil. Itis important to understand that the emotion of anger itself is not sinful.Anger is actually a good thing because it reflects that we have a sense ofjustice, that we all have, because we are created in the image of God, Because Godis a God of justice, He must punish evil. The Bible tells us that God is angrywith the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11). In that sense, our emotion of anger reflectsa God-like concern for what is right and should be rewarded, and what is wrongor evil and should be punished. However, Scripture teaches in both the Old andNew Testaments that we are to let God take care of vengeance. Paulclearly speaks of how as believers we are to responded to evil and offences in Romans12:17-21: “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in thesight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceablywith all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place towrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says theLord.  LetGod take care of the offense or pain you feel in your heart or life. When youdo, you are able to display the character of Christ by forgiving those who harmyou. Stephen did this when he prayed, “Lay not this sin to their charge.” Jesusdid the same when He said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what theydo.” We take the hurt, the pain, and the offenses committed against us andchoose to forgive. In doing so, we are like Jesus. We are following Hisexample. We are allowing the light of God and the life of Christ to shinethrough us.Itis very human and very natural to respond in anger when we are hurt, because wedo have a sense of justice. But we must allow God to be the Judge. He is theOne who will take care of the vengeance we feel in our hearts. We are not toget even as the Gentiles do—saying, “I'll pay them back.” No, my friend, youdon't need to pay them back. God will take care of that.Inthe meantime, instead of giving place to the devil and allowing him to ruin andwreck your life, you give place to God. You worship God instead of Satan. Youare saying, “Lord, I want You to rule and reign. I want You to display Yourpower and Your glory in my life.” Remember David in the Old Testament,particularly in the Psalms. He expressed his anger, but he took it to God. ReadPsalm 109. David gave it to the Lord and said, in effect, “Lord, I place this in Yourhands.” Romans 12:21 teaches us. “Do not be overcome by evil,but overcome evil with good.” You have the opportunity to do good to thosewho hurt you and cause you pain. In doing so, you demonstrate that you trulytrust God to handle the justice, the consequences, and whatever needs to bedone in the life of the one who hurt you.Oh,my friend, we have the privilege of walking as Christ walked and living asChrist lived because we have His power—His Holy Spirit—living within us. If itis possible, as much as depends on you—and remember, He lives in you—you simplyyield yourself to Him. Trust Him. Determine to obey His truth. As you yield tothe Holy Spirit, love, joy, and peace will be displayed in your life, and thepeople around you will see Jesus in you—especially when you are hurt. Insteadof giving place to the devil, you give place to the Lord Jesus Christ, and Heis displayed and glorified through your life.

Delivered by Christine Gunawan from the Parish of Saint Joseph Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Pontianak, Indonesia. 1 John 4: 19 - 5: 4; Rs psalm 72: 1-2.14.15bc.17; Luke 4: 14-22a.LOVING GOD IS LOVINGNEIGHBORS Our meditation today isentitled: Loving God Is Loving Neighbors. On April 15, 2018, Pope Francisvisited a church in the city of Rome and he had a dialogue with the children.Emanuelle, an 8-year-old boy, walked forward and asked the Holy Father aquestion. "A few days agomy father passed away. My father was an atheist. But he is a very kind father.We four children were so loved by him. He took us all to church to be baptizedinto Catholicism. And so, is my father now in heaven?" Emanuelle asked thequestion in heavy words because he was crying. Pope Francis gave asatisfying answer and strengthened the heart of Emanuelle with his threebrothers and mother. The Pope said that God brings a good person with kindheart to heaven. Anyone in this world who does goodness to others is verypleasing to God. He or she is certainly so loved by God. He or she must be inheaven and not anywhere else. The problem is thatEmanuelle's father is not a believer. He is an atheist. In other words, ingeneral understanding, he does not love God. But in the reality of his life heis a kind and loving person. He even did a very great act of love, which was tobring all his children to the Church, to Jesus, and to God. This means he knowsthere is God. He entrusted his family to God. He was actuallyloving a God he is not believing. We must call this a hidden faith, an implicitfaith, or faith known only to God and his own deepest heart. Even he himselfdid not realize that in his subconscious and deepest heart there iscommunication with God. Therefore this father could not help but already havelove for God, so with sincerity and love he offered his children to God. Saint John in thefirst reading today confirms that whoever loves God, he must also love hisfellow brothers and sisters. The love he gives or shares to others is the samelove that he receives from God, because God first loves him. The experience of anatheist father for his four children is enough to give us awareness andunderstanding that we as believers surely love God and we also love ourbrothers, sisters and neighbors. These are all the fulfillment of thescriptures as expressed by the Gospel reading of today. When love is expressedand shared, the scriptures come true and fulfilled. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Jesus, make us diligent and faithful with Your Word, then we areencouraged to fulfill Your mission on earth. Hail Mary, full of grace ... Inthe name of the Father...

Thefirst of the five sins Paul tells us to put off is lying. We must always beaware of the danger of lying. Lying is rooted in the deceitful nature of Satanhimself. He uses lies to lead us astray, to make us believe that the wrong pathis the right path. Jesus warned us that “broad is the way that leads todestruction, and many go in by it.” My friend, the devil is a liar. Jesussaid in John 8:44 that Satan is a liar and the father of lies. He also said inJohn 10 that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy—and the primary way thedevil does this is through lies. He lies by placing deceptive thoughts into ourminds. I am convinced that the fiery darts of the devil mentioned in Ephesians6 are his lies. That is why we are told to take up the shield of faith, whichof course, is the Word of God that we have in our hearts and can quote back to thedevil's lies like Jesus did in Matthew 4 when He was tempted. Inthe end times, 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12, tells us that the Antichrist will comewith lying wonders, deceiving those who reject the truth because they takepleasure in unrighteousness. They will believe the lie. My friend, we arealready seeing how lies work all around us—how they deceive people and leadthem into destructive paths. As Jesus said in John 10:10, “the thief (thedevil) has come to steal, to kill and to destroy”. That is why we see suchviolence, chaos, and brokenness in our world today. People are believing thelie when what they desperately need is the truth. Thisis it is so important to Speak the Truth! It is no accident that Paul lists lying first. Lyingdestroys. Truth builds up. If we want to live a life that honors God, we mustlearn how to build truth into our lives. Weonly have a few days left before we begin a new year. This is often the timewhen people make New Year's resolutions. But instead of resolutions, I want toencourage you to make a commitment—a complete surrender to the will of God tobe the person He wants you to be. How do you do that? We all desperately dailyneed God's grace to do what we ought to do. The best way I know receive God'sgrace is to put yourself in the path of God's grace by getting into God's Word andHis Truth that sets us free on a daily basis. The truth is Jesus. The Truth isfound in His Word. Living in the Truth means abiding in Christ (John 15). Thelie of the devil is that you don't have time for God's Word—that you are toobusy, that other things are more urgent. My friend, that is the tyranny of theurgent, where immediate demands crowd out the most important thing: time alonewith the Lord in His Word and prayer. And we must discipline ourselves spirituallyto do that! Years ago, by the grace of God, I made a determination todiscipline myself for godliness, as Paul instructed Timothy (1 Timothy 4:7-9).The only way to do that is to commit to a daily quiet time with the Lord. Thedevil will whisper his lies into your ears and mind: “You don't need to pray. Youdon't need to read through the Bible. You don't need every Word of God.” Theseare his lies! That is why I do everything I can through this Pastor's Chat andthrough my website to encourage believers to stay in the Word. I post dailydevotionals such as Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest, ExperiencingGod by Henry Blackaby, and Dr. Elmer Towns' 365 Ways to Know God. I personally alsoread other devotionals by Andrew Murray and others. These help me focus eachday on God's truth instead of Satan's lies. Forover 50 years now I have read five Psalms a day, and I post them on my websiteso you can read or listen along if you wish. We also provide Bible readingschedules—two different plans—to help you stay disciplined in God's Word. Todaywill you make the decision by God's grace to say: “I am not going to try. I amgoing to do this.” My friend, if you will do this, you will find that next yearwill be a completely different year.

Sometimes the plan for the episode… totally sucks. In this conversation, I scrap my original idea mid-recording and bring you into what's actually alive in my world right now: parenting an 11-year-old, navigating big emotions, asking scary questions, and coming back (over and over) to my values as a mom.We talk about what it means to hold space for your kids' real struggles, why “because I said so” isn't a value, and how to stay in the room when your child is wrestling with belonging, insecurity, and the very human fear of not being liked. It's an honest peek into how I'm fumbling, regulating, repairing, and choosing relationship on purpose.TOPICS & TANGENTS:Life updates: Colorado snow, moving (again), and starting 2026 in a new homeParenting an 11-year-old: hormones, friendship dynamics, and fitting inThe conversation no parent wants to have: asking your child directly about self-harmWhy kids need us to ask the hard questions out loudCreating safety: therapy for boys, emotional literacy, and modeling vulnerabilityWhy “because I said so” is not a parenting valueMutual respect, consequences, and holding boundaries after a big emotional momentCuriosity as a parenting tool: better questions than “How was your day?”When your child's biggest fear mirrors your own (and what to do with that)Remembering: you can't be the parent you want to be from a dysregulated statePOINT OF THE STORY:You will never feel “ready” or fully qualified for the version of parenting you're in, it's all first-time territory. But when the plan falls apart, coming back to your core values, staying curious, and being brave enough to ask the hard questions builds the kind of relationship where your kids actually bring you their real life.Are you loving it?

Todaywe are moving into the final section of Ephesians chapter 4:17–32. In theseverses, we learn that the Christian—the believer in Jesus Christ—is not onlycalled to walk in unity within the body of Christ (vv. 1-16), but also to walkdifferently from the world around us, from those who are unsaved. Paul refersto these unbelievers as “the Gentiles”—those who do not know God, who do notfollow Jesus Christ, and who have never been spiritually regenerated. Inthe first part of this section, verses 17–19, which we will be looking at overthe next few days, Paul gives a vivid description of how the Gentiles walk—howthey live. And his message is clear: as followers of Jesus Christ, we are to bedifferent. In verse 17, Paul exhorts believers not to walk as the Gentileswalk. He describes their lives as empty in their thinking, darkened inunderstanding, alienated from the life of God because of ignorance andspiritual blindness. He goes on to describe a lifestyle marked by moralinsensitivity, impurity, and greed. (Read the above verses again.) Myfriend, that is a very apt description of much of America today. Many peoplehave little understanding of spiritual truth—of the Bible, of God, or of livinga life marked by respect and responsibility. Instead, they live selfishly,seeking only to please themselves, always wanting more—more possessions, morestatus, more of the newest and the best. That is exactly what Paul isdescribing. And he makes it clear that as believers, we should be different.Yes, we are to walk in unity as a body of believers, but we are not to walk asthe Gentiles walk. Ibelieve the Bible is a book written to be obeyed, not merely studied ormemorized. That is why we repeatedly encounter words like “therefore” and“wherefore.” In fact, between Ephesians 4:1 and Ephesians 5:24, those wordsappear at least eight times. Paul is essentially saying that because of whatChrist has done for us—especially in the first three chapters and the firsthalf of chapter 4—there is now a clear responsibility for how we are to liveand walk for Jesus Christ. TheApostle James reminds us of this truth in James 1:22-25, where he tells us tobe doers of the Word and not hearers only. Otherwise, we are like someone wholooks in a mirror, notices what needs to be fixed, and then walks away withoutdoing anything about it. That is not how God intends us to live. Jesus Himselfwarned that hearing the Word without obeying it is like building a house onsand (Matthew 7:24-27). Our lives should be different. Thefact that we have been called in Christ (Ephesians 1:18) should motivate us towalk in unity (Ephesians 4:1–16). The fact that we have been raised fromspiritual death (Ephesians 2:1–10) should motivate us to walk in purity(Ephesians 4:17–5:7). Paul also reminds us in Romans 6:4, that because we havebeen identified with Christ in His death, we are now called to walk in newnessof life. It is a different life altogether. Weare alive in Christ. We are no longer dead in our sins. Therefore, we are toput off the old self and put on the new self (Ephesians 4:22-24). Just as Jesuscommand that Lazarus have his grave clothes removed (John 11:44), we too are totake off the old grave clothes of our former life and put on the grace clothesof our new life in Christ. We are to walk in God's wonderful and marvelousgrace. AsPaul begins this section of Scripture in verses 17–19, it comes as a strongwarning—a negative admonition. We are no longer to walk as the Gentiles walk.We will be exploring this more in the coming days. Itrust that today you will determine with all your heart to be a follower ofJesus Christ who lives a different life. Godbless!

What if the agencies that crush Q1 aren't working harder in January, they're making one  or two critical decisions right now, in December?In this solo episode, Dan reveals why Q1 consistently catches agencies off-guard and what separates those who stumble into the new year from those who hit the ground running. The secret isn't about working through the holidays or setting ambitious goals—it's about installing a systematic referral system during Q4's quieter moments. What You'll Leave With:Why trust, not awareness, became the scarce resource after 2020 and how it changes your approachThe four stages agencies move through and how to identify which phase you're stuck inThe "high school gym vs. NFL stadium" test for choosing the right lead generation strategy based on market sizeHow to structure connector calls to get 2-5 quality referrals from a single conversationThe simple human emotion that makes people actually follow through on promised introductionsA two-pronged outreach system that keeps your pipeline full even when you're buried in client workWhy making it easier for people to help you eliminates the awkwardness of asking for referralsThe one free data tool you need to get started without expensive SaaS platformsTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction: The strange Q4 gap period and what's coming[02:33] The Cobbler's children phase and why most agencies get stuck there[05:00] The four stages of agency growth and how they're detached from revenue[09:15] The 2020 trust recession and why cold outreach stopped working[12:30] High school gym vs. NFL stadium: Choosing the right strategy for your market[16:45] The systematic referral framework: How to generate warm intros weekly[21:20] Structuring connector calls to get 2-5 referrals per conversation[24:10] The emotional game changer that makes introductions actually happen[27:17] Common objections: "This seems like too much work" and "I'm worried about asking for help"[29:35] How this scales beyond your initial network (sprint, jog, run phases)[31:54] The Referral Engine Program and Referral Network Diagnostic offerQuotes: "A lot of agencies end up in level two, which we call the Cobbler's children phase. They have a track record, they've produced results for clients, but new business is very reactive—it's very much catch as catch can." — Dan Englander"After 2020, we saw a massive shift. Trust became the scarce resource, not awareness. Everyone's inbox is full, everyone's LinkedIn is saturated, and people have gotten really good at tuning out anything that feels like cold outreach." — Dan Englander"If you're getting on a call a day—like an apple a day keeps the doctor away—or five calls a week, that is usually more than enough to hit 99% of sales goals." — Dan Englander

Yesterdaywe talked about what it means to be apostle. Those were the 12 that Jesusoriginally chose (Matthew 10:1-4). Specifically, these Apostles had to be a witnessof Jesus life and ministry since His baptism and also His resurrection (Acts1:21-22). These were specially chosen men we read about in the Book of Actsthat laid the foundation of the church. But also other special group thatassisted in laying the foundation of the church in the first century were menwho were called the prophets. Nowwe usually think of a prophet in the Old Testament of someone that predicts thefuture. God gave these men special revelation and insight to talk about thingsto come. But in the New Testament, the prophet was someone who forthtold theword of God. Remember in the first century New Testament church in the book ofActs, they did not have a New Testament. Most of the believers did not havecopies of the Old Testament. Those were on scrolls and these were in thesynagogues. Therefore, they needed the office of a prophet who also laid thefoundation of the church along with the apostles.  Thesepeople were gifted by the Holy Spirit with special knowledge and wisdom. Weread in 1 Corinthians 13:2, "Though I have the gift of prophecy andunderstand all mysteries and all knowledge…." This gift and officegave them special insight to God's truths. They could proclaim to the localchurch a direct revelation from God that would help the early believers to knowand understand the truth and will of God concerning the mystery and ministry ofthe church along with specific application of God's Word concerning theirlives. At the same time many of these gifted men, like Paul, also gave revelationabout future events concerning the future of the church in the last days asthey were inspired to write letters to the churches. Inthe book of Romans 12:4-8 we find that there are seven spiritual gifts that arementioned. The first one that is mentioned in Romans 12:6 is prophesy alongwith instruction on how to exercise the gift. I believe that as important andnecessary as it was for all the spiritual gifts to be exercised in the localchurch that it also appears that these gifts are listed in order of theirimportance as far as their use in the church. Here in Ephesians 4:11 the giftand office of Apostleship is of course the first one. And as far as this giftand office is concerned, it was for very a specific purpose and for a veryspecific time period at the beginning and foundation of the church. Nextin importance would be the gift of prophecy.  In 1 Corinthians 14:1, Paul writes: “Pursuelove, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy”. Thenhe goes on to explain what the purpose of prophecy is in verses 2-5: “But he who prophesies speaksedification and exhortation and comfort to men. Sothis spiritual gift of prophecy was given to the men to come alongside the menwho had the gift of Apostleship to specially lay the foundation. You see thisin Ephesians 2:20: “Having been built on the foundation of the apostles andprophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone”. So they preached JesusChrist. They taught that Jesus was the head of the body, the chief cornerstone. Ibelieve that today it is possible the gift of prophecy is still able to beexercised, but it has to do with a person who is able to lead the church insuch a way that he understands and has special discernment of what is right andwrong in a specific way and is able to call out evil. Still, other Biblescholars believe the gift of prophecy expired with the early church when the NewTestament was completed. What matters today is that we still have love andunity and make the name and salvation of Jesus known to everyone we can! Godbless!

How to talk to the Vengeful Martyr, Evasive Expert, Divisive Immortal, Hungry Shapeshifter, Righteous Bully, and The NothingIn this second part of the “Communicating with Villains” series, Kristina and Anna get very practical about how to actually talk to people who are running these archetypes, including when you are the one in the villain seat.They move from real stories about teeth, genetics, and breast health into concrete language, strategies, and “do not do this” warnings for each villain.This is the “how to handle them in real life” episode.In this episodeKristina and Anna explore:How the Vengeful Martyr shows up in health, caregiving, and self neglectWhy dental and breast health can become a mirror for martyrdomThe role of Divisive Immortal catastrophizing in medical decisions and

things no one sees, like gums, pap smears, and internal healthA concrete shift: flossing, water picking, changing dentists, and choosing a provider who does not shame herA genetic test that revealed increased risk for breast cancer and skin cancer, and her decision to act now rather than “martyr” herself by ignoring itWhy she is seriously considering prophylactic bilateral mastectomies as an act of self nourishment, not fearKristina reflects on:The symbolism of breasts as sources of nourishment and pleasure, and what it means to “retire” the functional side of them in order to care for the

express emotion, or explode when emotion finally leaks outClassic tells: “I do not know how I feel,” or answering questions with cerebral analysisWhy approaching them with pure emotion makes them disappearCommunication tips for Evasive Expert:Lead with logic, not dramaPresent the impact as a logical chain: “A and B happened, which led to C and D, can you see why I might be upset”Use “logic

Hungry Shapeshifter, they discuss:The need for attention, lightness, and performanceHow calling out their shifting identities can feel humiliating, not helpfulWhy dramatic outbursts are often releases, not always indicators of deep relational ruptureCommunication tips for Hungry Shapeshifter:Let them perform, be the audience rather than the critic in the momentNotice patterns over time, not just one dramatic sceneWhen they are calm and grounded, take them more seriously than in full performance modeInvite coherence by asking, “Which part of you feels most true right now”Righteous Bully: conviction, protection, and curiosityFor the Righteous Bully, Anna shares how working this arc has changed what even triggers her, and why things that used to set her off no longer land.They

We are thrilled to bring you the next episode of our monthly special in cooperation with the Journal of Democracy. Inthe framework of this new partnership, our editors discuss outstanding articles from the newest print issue of the journal with their authors. In this discussion with Nate Schenkkan, an independentauthority on human rights and global authoritarianism and former senior director of research at Freedom House,we examine the growing issue of transnationalrepression—a practice wherein states pursue individuals and groups beyond their own borders whom they regard as threats to those in power. Although much of the international public's awareness stems from prominent incidents such asthe assassination of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul, our discussion underscores the significance of more routine methods, including digital intimidation and attempts to suppress dissent among diaspora communities. We examine the factors that contribute to the rise of transnational repression and outline strategies to protecttargets, such as digital security, diaspora organizing, and theimportance of local-level initiatives in building community defenses against state harassment.

In This Deep Dive Episode:We're tackling the hardest and most expensive problem in chiropractic growth: getting from “great idea” to “real implementation.”Drawing from a powerful masterclass by Dr. Noel Lloyd and insights from clinics just like yours, we cover:

Todaywe're moving on to a new chapter, Ephesians 4. As we look at this chapter, weactually are beginning a new section of the book of Ephesians. The first threechapters of Ephesians dealt with doctrine, with knowledge, primarily our positionin Christ. The key word was the wealth that we have already in Jesus Christ. Ithink it's interesting that in the Old Testament, God would say to the nationof Israel, if you obey me, I will bless you. But here in the New Testament, inall Paul's epistles, God is basically saying to the believers, now that I haveblessed you, “therefore”, now walk in me, walk in my love. Live for me like youshould. So we see the first three chapters are doctrinal where the last threechapters of Ephesians are duty. God gives us the doctrine, the knowledge first.What we now know about our position in Christ and in His body, the church,we  should apply these truths to ourlives in a practical way everyday. Some Christians say, "It doesn't matterwhat I believe, just as long as I live right." My friend, it does matterwhat you believe because what you believe determines what your walk will be. Jesussaid, "From out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks".  Thefirst three chapters are about our wealth, our riches in Christ while the lastthree have to do with our walk in Jesus Christ. In chapters 4 through 6, wewill see the word walk will appear several times. We are told to “walkworthy of the calling” (4:1); “walk in love” (5:2); “walk aschildren of Light” (5:8); “walk circumspectly” (carefully) (5:15).  Pauluses two important words in the first verse of chapter 4. The first is “therefore”,and the second is “beseech”. “I therefore a prisoner of the Lordbeseech you”. “I therefore”, by that He means what I have already saidbefore, based what I've said before concerning the knowledge the wealth andriches you have in Christ. Paul uses this same reasoning in Romans 12:1-2, “Ibeseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present yourbodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonableservice. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by therenewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable andperfect will of God.” Inthe first 11 chapters of Romans, Paul basically gave us the doctrine ofsalvation. Then in chapter 12, he exhorts us to now live a sacrificial life forChrist, which in the only reasonable thing to do because of His love andsacrifice He made for us! We first know Christ, then we begin to live Christ,to love Christ, now we are to walk Christ. This is so important.  InEphesians 4 we see this walk that Paul is writing about to us to have is a walkin unity. Walk worthy of the calling to which you are called. How? “Inlowliness and gentleness and longsuffering, bearing with one another in love.” Paulis asking us to walk in unity (4:1-6, walk in purity (4:7-5:17), walk withharmony (5:18-6:9), and in walk in victory (6:10-24). Again,the main idea in these first sixteen verses in Ephesians 4 is the unity ofbelievers in Christ. This is simply the practical application of the doctrinetaught in the first half of the letter: God is building a body, a temple. Hehas reconciled Jews and Gentiles to Himself in Christ. The oneness of believersin Christ is already a spiritual reality. Our responsibility is to guard,protect, and preserve that unity.  Godhas given us such a marvelous calling in Christ; now it is our responsibilityto live up to that calling. Maythe Lord help us to do that today! Godbless!
