Rejection is one of the biggest confidence killers in sales—but it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Ray Higdon explains how to stay confident after rejection and why most salespeople take rejection far too personally. The truth is, rejection is not a sign that you are failing—it is a normal part of growth, success, and mastery. Ray shares powerful perspective shifts that instantly remove the emotional sting of rejection, including why top authors, actors, and entrepreneurs faced massive rejection before succeeding. You will also learn how detaching from outcomes, focusing on activity, and reframing rejection as progress can dramatically increase your confidence and consistency. —  

Sexual addiction is often treated as a behavior problem. Stop the behavior. Remove the temptation. Try harder next time. But what if the behavior is not the real issue? What if the patterns that bring shame, secrecy, and self-sabotage are actually revealing something deeper about the story you carry? This week on Win Today, therapist and researcher Jay Stringer joins me to unpack the anatomy of sexual addiction and unwanted sexual behavior. Drawing from research involving more than 3,800 men and women, Jay explains why these patterns are rarely random and how the unresolved parts of our past often shape them. We talk about why shame keeps people trapped in destructive cycles, why curiosity is often the first step toward healing, and why grief has the surprising power to reshape what we desire. Sexual struggles are not simply moral failures to suppress. They can become a roadmap that leads us toward the healing we have avoided. If you are stuck in patterns you cannot explain, if shame has kept you silent, or if you've tried to manage the behavior without understanding the story behind it, this episode will help you see why real freedom begins with honesty. Guest Bio Jay Stringer is a licensed therapist, minister, and researcher who helps men and women understand and outgrow unwanted sexual behaviors. He is the author of the award-winning book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing, based on a multiyear research study involving more than 3,800 men and women exploring the roots of sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behavior. Jay is also the creator of the Sexual Behavior Self-Assessment and The Journey Course, a five-month program designed to help individuals identify and transform the deeper drivers behind destructive patterns. He holds an MDiv and a master's degree in counseling psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and completed post-graduate training under Dr. Dan Allender while serving as a Senior Fellow at The Allender Center.

Ever notice how the smallest trigger in your relationship—a tone of voice, a lingering look, or a forgotten chore—can suddenly feel like a five-alarm fire? The truth is, most couples aren't fighting about the dishes or the laundry; they're struggling against the undercurrents of stress, anxiety, and unspoken needs that simmer just beneath the surface. When these emotions erupt, it's not just about the task at hand but the deep human urge to be seen, valued, and connected. Left unchecked, these survival-driven stress responses can turn moments of misunderstanding into cycles of blame, defensiveness, or painful silence. In this episode, you'll discover a refreshing reframe of stress in intimate relationships—not as a signal to run or shut down, but as an invitation to meaningful connection and growth. Learn how to recognize your triggers, transform heightened emotions into curiosity and constructive action, and tap into the power of vulnerability—even in the heat of conflict. Through practical strategies, thought-provoking questions, and powerful mindset shifts, this conversation is packed with insights to help you break free from old reaction patterns, deepen trust, and turn even your toughest moments into a pathway for a stronger partnership.

Dr. Heiss hails from a small town in upstate NY! She grew up playing basketball and football in the backyard with her sister and neighborhood kids. Basketball stuck with her, and she continues to enjoy playing with friends today while promoting her co-founded non-profit, Gamechanger Basketball.   Episode Highlights 03:40 Discover how personal loss led to a life-changing approach to handling stress. 08:42 Learn why our brains react so strongly in relationships—and how to respond differently. 11:37 Find out how curiosity can replace fear and build a deeper connection during stress. 14:41 Get simple, real-life tools for managing conflict and assessing vulnerability. 19:01 Uncover powerful questions that can turn arguments into understanding. 20:51 Explore a three-step process for navigating stress as a team and how to use this method to resolve everyday relationship challenges. 26:25 Discover why embracing—not avoiding—stress leads to more meaning and growth. 39:40 Quick, physical techniques anyone can use to release tension. 40:58 How community, service, and the right resources can transform your stress.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Pause and Breathe: When feeling stressed or triggered, take a moment to pause with a deep inhale and exhale to help settle your nervous system. Invite the Tiger In: Instead of avoiding stress, consciously sit with the discomfort for three minutes to allow yourself to fully experience and acknowledge it. Get Curious: Ask yourself, "What is this stress here to help me do?" to start shifting out of a blame mindset and into a place of productive inquiry. Connect with Others: Reflect on "Who do I need to connect with?"—be it your partner, a friend, or even a part of yourself—to seek support and reduce isolation. Use Physical Outlet: If you're more nonverbal, move your body (e.g., fast feet, punching a pillow, yelling—in a safe space) to help release stress energy. Name Your Feelings: Verbally recognize and share your emotional state with your partner, such as "I'm feeling defensive," to foster vulnerability and mutual understanding. Set a Break Word: Agree on a lighthearted code word as a couple to pause heated discussions, allowing each person to process and return with more clarity. Direct Your Energy Constructively: After working through the initial stress, focus on what you need—whether it's an apology, to be heard, or a change in behavior—and express this clearly to your partner.   Mentioned Instinct (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Springboard (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Man's Search for Meaning (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free guide) Connect with Dr. Rebecca Heiss Websites: rebeccaheiss.com Facebook: facebook.com/drrebeccaheiss X: https://x.com/DrRebeccaHeiss YouTube: youtube.com/hannel/UCO3XmakQmJX0z0TbSfr3agg Instagram: instagram.com/drrebeccaheiss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/rebeccaheiss/details/experience

Are you choosing enough? Are you choosing what you truly could be choosing?  This is your life. Go for it!  On this 300th episode of Choice, Change and Action, Simone Milasas takes you through some of the tools of Access Consciousness to inspire you to have more and be more. What would it take to truly live? Questions And Tools: "Dear universe, what else is possible?" "How does it get any better than this?" "Everything is the opposite of what appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what appears to be" "How did I create this?" "If I was choosing my financial reality, what would I choose?" "What creationships can I invite into my life today?" "Earth, what do you require of me today?" "Body, what do you desire to change? What action can I take? What can I be with you?" "What would it take to truly live?" Tools to change any area of our life: Use the mantra of Access Consciousness: "All of life comes to me with ease and joy and glory." There is no right or wrong; it's about choosing what works for you. What would you like to create? If you don't choose your reality, this reality will start to dictate what you are choosing. What action can you take to change something? What can you hear? Relax. Use the crazy phrase: "Everything is the opposite of what appears to be, nothing is the opposite of what appears to be." There is nothing wrong with you, there is nothing to fix; but you can change. Stop looking outside of you for the source of creation for your life; you are the source of creation, you create your today and your future. There is no answer; it's about you choosing. Nothing happens to you; you create everything that shows up in your life. Use the clearing statement: Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. Destroy and uncreate all the points of views you think are yours, now what would you choose? It's all about energy. Surround yourself with people who are a contribution to you, and you are a contribution to them What if your life didn't have to be hard and you could just start choosing?  What would it take to embrace everything you are today? Be you, change the world. Dedicate yourself to demanding that you stop judging; judging doesn't create anything greater. Know that you are a walking talking miracle. Invite more chaos into your life; chaos is creation. What is the Earth asking of you? What can you contribute? What can the Earth contribute to you?  What can you receive today that you were not willing to receive yesterday? Allow more to show up rather try to control it. Get your bars run. For 1 hour a day and 1 day a week, choose something that's just for you.    Everything you're not willing to perceive, know, be and receive about how you created this, will you destroy and uncreate it all? Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. Everywhere you've decided the points of views you have around money are yours,  will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. How many of you are trying to prove that you fit somewhere? What if you fit nowhere and fit everywhere? Everything that is, times a godzillion,  will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. How many of you are trying to create relationships rather than creationships? Everything that is, times a godzillion,  will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. Destroy and uncreate everywhere you've been choosing based on this reality rather than choosing your reality. Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds. What can you receive today that would create being totally out of control? Everything that is, times a godzillion,  will you destroy and uncreate it? Right and wrong, good and bad, all 100, shorts, boys, POVADs, creations, bases and beyonds.

If sales have started to feel heavy, frustrating, or emotionally draining, the problem may not be your strategy—it may be your mindset. In this episode, Ray Higdon explains why sales feels hard and how simple mindset shifts can immediately change your experience and results. Most salespeople unknowingly tie their emotions to outcomes, rejection, and responses. But top performers detach from results and instead anchor themselves in activity, patience, and consistency. You will learn how to stop fearing rejection, why becoming addicted to activity transforms performance, and how shifting from "trying to close" to simply "seeing who's open" reduces pressure and increases conversions. Ray also explains why consistency, courage, and stepping outside your comfort zone are essential for success to become inevitable. —

In 2018, Ghislaine Maxwell—despite years of public allegations connecting her to Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation—was invited to and attended Jeff Bezos's elite and secretive literary retreat known as Campfire. The event, hosted by Bezos annually, brings together top authors, tech moguls, and media power players at a private location for a weekend of discussions, panels, and informal networking. Maxwell's presence at the retreat raised eyebrows, not only because of her reputation by that point, but also because it demonstrated how seamlessly she continued to move through the highest levels of elite society even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Her attendance revealed a stunning level of normalization and acceptance within powerful circles, despite her growing notoriety.Maxwell reportedly arrived at the Campfire event alongside entrepreneur Scott Borgerson, a figure later revealed to be in a close relationship with her, though he denied any romantic involvement at the time. Attendees included influential figures from Silicon Valley, publishing, and entertainment—none of whom publicly objected to her presence. The revelation of her invitation has sparked renewed scrutiny into how the world's wealthiest and most influential people continued to welcome Epstein's known enablers into their inner circles long after the broader public became aware of their roles. It serves as yet another example of how elite spaces often insulate their own, regardless of the crimes that surround them.source:https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/01/jeffrey-epstein-friend-ghislaine-maxwell-was-guest-at-jeff-bezos-event.html

Every leader faces this moment. Someone on the team is not performing. Maybe they are loyal. Maybe they have been with you for years. Maybe they are a great person. But the results are not there, or worse, the standard is slipping. And the fear creeps in. If I remove this person, what happens to morale? Will the team feel unsafe? Will I look disloyal? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, we unpack one of the hardest leadership tensions you will ever navigate: how to protect culture while making performance-based decisions. Episode Breakdown [00:00] The Leadership Tension Replacing underperformers is not just about numbers. It is about people, culture, and standards. [01:00] The Hidden Truth Keeping underperformers also affects morale. Your team is always watching what you tolerate. If the bar lowers for one person, others start questioning whether the standard even matters. [02:00] Five Ways to Replace Without Destabilizing Morale 1. Communicate Standards Long Before a Decision Clarity prevents shock. If expectations are consistently reinforced and openly discussed, transitions feel aligned, not arbitrary. 2. Be Proactive, Not Reactive Spot trends early. Have coaching conversations. Create clear improvement plans. When a transition happens after process and communication, it feels fair and predictable. 3. Frame Transitions Around Vision Do not throw anyone under the bus. Instead reinforce the bigger picture. We are committed to building a team that operates at a high standard and supports each other. Hard decisions made in service of the vision build trust. 4. Recruit Forward, Not Just Away From the Problem Do not hire for relief. Hire to raise the standard. A strong addition energizes the team and restores confidence in leadership. 5. Be Present After the Transition Silence destabilizes morale more than the decision itself. Check in. Invite questions. Be visible. Presence builds trust. Key Takeaways What You Tolerate Defines the Culture – Avoiding hard decisions erodes morale faster than making them Clarity Prevents Chaos – Clear standards reduce fear when change happens Process Protects People – When improvement plans and conversations are consistent, transitions feel fair Hire to Elevate, Not Just Fill – The right addition can boost morale instantly Leadership Presence Matters Most After Change – Silence creates insecurity. Communication builds stability Here is the big idea. Replacing underperformers does not damage culture. Avoiding it does. Strong teams are built by protecting standards, leading with clarity, and making courageous decisions in service of something bigger than comfort. When you do that, transitions do not stall momentum. They create it. Navigating a Transition Right Now? If you are walking through a performance issue, considering a change, or unsure how to protect morale while protecting standards, you do not have to navigate it alone. You can book time directly on Richard's calendar to talk through: How to assess whether it is time for a change How to communicate standards clearly How to build a recruiting plan behind the scenes How to lead the transition without destabilizing the team Go to bookrichardnow.com and schedule a time that works for you. Hard leadership decisions become easier when you have structure, clarity, and someone walking with you. Keep building. Keep protecting the vision. Keep leading with courage.

Meetings don't have to drain time or energy. In fact, they can become one of the most effective tools in a well-run practice! In this episode of the Everyday Oral Surgery Podcast, Dr. Grant Stucki welcomes back Dr. Roger Levin, founder and CEO of Levin Group, for a focused discussion on conducting effective daily business meetings, also known as morning huddles. Dr. Levin challenges the idea that meetings are inherently inefficient and explains why, when done well, they're essential for clear communication in busy oral surgery practices. He breaks down ten practical rules for running effective daily meetings, showing how short, structured check-ins help organize the day, reduce interruptions, and keep teams aligned. The conversation also clarifies what belongs in a daily meeting versus a monthly staff meeting and why office managers play a critical role in setting agendas, managing time, and maintaining focus. Tune in for practical guidance on turning daily meetings into a reliable system that supports efficiency, leadership, and teamwork in your practice!Key Points From This Episode:How meetings gained a reputation as inefficient in business.Why oral surgery practices rely on meetings more than most industries.Three essential meetings for practices: daily business, monthly staff, and annual strategy.A breakdown of Dr. Levin's ten rules for daily business meetings.Rule 1: Start with why and a clear agenda for every meeting.Rule 2: Define the objective so everyone knows what the meeting is for.Rule 3: Invite only the people who truly need to be in the meeting.Rule 4: Start on time and end on time to show respect and leadership.Rule 5: Appoint a facilitator to run and control the meeting.Rule 6: Keep updates brief to maintain focus and momentum.Rule 7: Use a “parking lot” to keep discussions on agenda and save off-topic ideas for later.Rule 8: Encourage participation so meetings stay relevant and engaging.Rule 9: Document action items, assign them, and give deadlines.Rule 10: Follow up immediately so meetings lead to real action.Why short, consistent daily meetings outperform long, infrequent ones.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Roger Levin — https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-levin-69ab744/ Levin Group — https://levingroup.com/Office Manager Practice Mastery Program — https://levingroup.com/office-manager-practice-mastery-program/Episode 313 — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10-power-tips-for-multi-office-practice-growth-with-dr/id1535284898?i=1000717140271Episode 343 —Episode 346 —Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

Don't Bury Your Gift: The Silent Drift That Kills Your Calling Episode Description: What if the greatest danger to your faith isn't open rebellion… but quiet drift? In this episode, Rob challenges us to examine something subtle but dangerous — spiritual passivity. We don't renounce our faith. We don't walk away from God. We just slowly sideline our calling. We get busy. We get successful. We get comfortable. And before we know it, the gift God gave us is sitting unused. Drawing from 1 Timothy 4 and Jesus' parables about buried talents, Rob reminds us of Paul's clear warning: "Do not neglect your gift." This isn't just advice for Timothy. It's a wake-up call for every Christian. In This Episode, You'll Discover: Why spiritual drift is more dangerous than obvious failure How busyness and comfort can bury your calling The real meaning behind "Don't neglect your gift" Why faithfulness is about multiplication — not maintenance A powerful story about gifted Christians who slowly disengaged Simple, practical ways to get back on mission today Key Scriptures: 1 Timothy 4:12–14 — "Do not neglect your gift." 1 Timothy 2:4 — God wants all people to be saved. Matthew 25 — The Parable of the Talents Luke 19 — The Parable of the Minas The Hard Question: When was the last time you used your gift to help someone grow spiritually? Are you still reaching? Still teaching? Still encouraging? Still on mission? Or has comfort quietly buried what God meant to be multiplied? Practical Next Steps: Stay in the fellowship — don't rush home. Approach the visitor sitting alone. Study the Bible with someone seeking truth. Pray intentionally for one person. Invite someone this week. Dust off your gift — start small. You don't have to be in full-time ministry to be fully engaged in the mission. Your workplace is your field. Your neighborhood is your ministry. Your relationships are your stewardship. Final Challenge: One day the Master will return. And He will ask: What did you do with what I gave you? Let's make sure we haven't buried our talent. Let's keep the main thing the main thing. That's the 10X Christian life. Support the Podcast: Sign up for Rob's weekly newsletter at RobSkinner.com Read and review The 10X Christian on Amazon Share this episode with someone who needs a wake-up call Because the goal is simple: Live a no regrets life. Make this life count. Multiply disciples, leaders, and churches.

NO PODCAST (voice production) this week, as John has been sick and has no voice! So, written comments only. Hope to be back in tune next week!*********************************************************************************************************Hey gang — thanks for the comments and encouragement! Please keep them coming along with your requests and suggestions. I am playing around a bit with the format this week — putting a little more “meat” into each scripture section with preaching notes, some pastoral commentary with application, and a possible preaching thread to tie all the passages together. You can tell me if it works or not!RCL TextsExodus 17:1–7Israel is in the wilderness with no water, and panic turns into accusation: “Why did you bring us out here to die?” Their fear shows how quickly hardship can erase memory of God's past faithfulness. Moses cries out, and God tells him to strike the rock at Horeb. Water comes from an impossible place. The site is named Massah (“testing”) and Meribah (“quarreling”) because the people tested the Lord by asking whether God was really with them. The passage holds both human distrust and divine provision side by side. “Moses Strikes the Rock” from reformconfess.com)Preaching note:This is not just a “don't complain” text. It's a story about fear under pressure and God's mercy in the middle of distrust. Israel's panic is real; God's provision is still real.Pastoral caution:Don't shame people for anxiety, grief, or survival-level stress by flattening this into “faithful people never question God.”Application move:Invite people to name one “wilderness fear” honestly in prayer this week, then pair it with one remembered sign of God's faithfulness from their own life.Psalm 95The psalm begins as a joyful call to worship: come singing, kneeling, and remembering that we belong to the God who made and shepherds us. Then it pivots hard into warning: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.” It recalls the wilderness rebellion, where people saw God's works but still resisted trust. That contrast is the point — true worship is not just praise language; it is responsive, obedient listening in the present moment (“today”).Preaching note:The psalm links praise and obedience. It starts in celebration but insists that worship without listening becomes hollow.Pastoral caution:Avoid using “do not harden your hearts” as a weapon against wounded people who need time, safety, and patience.Application move:Give a simple daily practice: before bed, ask, “Where did I resist God today? Where did I respond?”Romans 5:1–11Paul describes what justification by faith produces: peace with God through Jesus Christ, access to grace, and a hope rooted in God's glory. He then deepens it: suffering is not proof God has abandoned us; in Christ, suffering can shape endurance, character, and hope. This hope does not collapse because God's love has already been poured into believers by the Holy Spirit. The center of the passage is God's initiative: Christ died for us “while we were still sinners.” Reconciliation is not earned by moral improvement; it is received as gift and then lived out with confidence and gratitude.Preaching note:Paul is not romanticizing suffering. He is saying suffering is no longer meaningless in Christ because God's love and reconciliation come first, not last.Pastoral caution:Never imply people should be grateful for trauma or that pain automatically produces maturity.Application move:Encourage people to replace self-condemning language with Romans 5 language this week: “I have peace with God,” “I stand in grace,” “I am reconciled in Christ.”John 4:5–42Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well and asks for water, crossing social, ethnic, religious, and gender barriers in one move. The conversation shifts from literal water to “living water,” then to her real life. Jesus names her story truthfully but without shaming her, and she stays in the conversation rather than withdrawing. She recognizes him first as prophet, then in messianic terms, and becomes a witness to her town: “Come and see.” Many Samaritans believe, first through her testimony and then through encountering Jesus themselves. The text shows evangelism as overflow from being truly seen and offered grace.Preaching note:Jesus meets someone at social and spiritual distance, begins with a request, tells truth without humiliation, and turns a marginalized person into a messenger.Pastoral caution:Do not preach this text in a way that reduces the woman to a stereotype of sexual failure; the text's center is revelation, dignity, and mission.Application move:Call the church to one “well-side conversation” this week: listen to someone outside their normal circle with curiosity, not agenda.A Sermon Outline: “When You're Running on Empty”Core claim: God meets thirsty people with mercy, truth, and living water.Opening (Name the thirst)• “Most people aren't living rebellious lives; they're living depleted lives.”• Name common thirsts: peace, clarity, forgiveness, belonging, hope.• Bridge line: “Today's texts are for people running on empty.”Exodus 17 (Fear + Provision)• Israel has no water; fear turns to accusation.• They ask: “Is the Lord among us or not?”• God brings water from a rock — provision in an impossible place.Pastoral sentence: “God is not surprised by panic prayers.”Psalm 95 (Worship + Listening)• Starts with praise, shifts to warning.• Worship is not only singing; it is hearing and responding: “Today… do not harden your hearts.”Key line: “A lifted voice means little with a closed heart.”John 4 (Living Water + Honest Grace)• Jesus crosses boundaries to meet the Samaritan woman.• He asks for water, offers living water, tells truth without humiliation.• She becomes a witness: “Come and see.”Pastoral sentence: “Jesus does not expose people to shame them; he reveals truth to heal them.”Romans 5 (Peace + Hope)• Justified by faith → peace with God.• Access to grace is present reality, not future possibility.• Suffering is real, but not final; hope does not disappoint because God's love is poured out by the Spirit.• Christ died for us while we were still sinners.Key line: “Your standing with God is grounded in Christ's work, not your performance.”An IllustrationA healthy family doesn't erase a child's place at the table because of one bad day.Imagine a kid who has a meltdown, talks back, slams a door, and fails a test all in the same week. There are still consequences. There are still conversations. But at dinner, the plate is still there. The name is still theirs. The address hasn't changed.That's the distinction Romans 5 helps us make: discipline is real, but belonging is deeper.Paul says we are “justified by faith” and therefore “have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” He doesn't say, “We have peace with God because this week we behaved well.” He says our standing with God is through Christ. That means our relationship is not recalculated every morning by our spiritual performance score.So yes, Christians confess sin. Yes, we repent. Yes, we grow.But we do all of that from grace, not for grace.From belonging, not trying to earn belonging.Concrete Application (This Week)Choose one:1. Name your thirst honestly before God (no editing).2. Take one reconciliatory step (call, apology, forgiveness, boundary).3. Have one well-side conversation with someone outside your normal circle.4. Pray nightly: “Lord Jesus, give me living water for tomorrow.”Narrative Lectionary, March 8, 2026 (Lent 3) the text is:Narrative LectionaryJohn 18:12–27 — Jesus before Annas; Peter's denial1) Expanded Text SummaryJesus is arrested and brought first to Annas, the former high priest, in a scene where political power, religious authority, and fear are all in play. Jesus is questioned about his disciples and teaching, but he responds with calm clarity: he has spoken openly, not in secret. He is struck for answering, and the legal process already feels tilted before formal charges are even set. In parallel, Peter stands in the courtyard and is asked if he belongs to Jesus. Three times he denies it, and the rooster crows. The passage intentionally contrasts Jesus' steady public witness with Peter's anxious self-protection, showing both the cost of discipleship and the fragility of even devoted followers.2) Major Themes• Truth under pressure• Public courage vs private fear• The loneliness of faithful witness• Failure is real, but not final (as the larger Peter arc shows)3) Preaching Arc * 1. Name the pressure — fear changes what people say and do.* 2. Watch Jesus — clear, non-defensive, truthful in hostile space.* 3. Watch Peter — close enough to observe Jesus, not steady enough to confess him.* 4. Name ourselves in the text — we're often both: courageous sometimes, evasive sometimes.* 5. Gospel turn — Jesus remains faithful even when his friends fail him.4) Preaching Notes + Caution + ApplicationPreaching note:John places Jesus' hearing and Peter's denial side by side so the congregation feels the contrast: Jesus bears witness at personal cost; Peter avoids cost by distancing himself.Pastoral caution:Don't preach Peter as a cartoon hypocrite. Fear responses are human, especially when people feel exposed or unsafe.An IllustrationThink about how courage usually fails.It's rarely in dramatic, movie-scene moments. It fails in ordinary settings — by a fire, in a hallway, in a break room, in a group chat. No one is threatening prison. No one is holding a weapon. But social risk feels real: embarrassment, exclusion, eye-rolls, being labeled, losing status.A person can be bold in principle and shaky in practice.On Sunday, they say, “I'll stand with Jesus no matter what.”On Tuesday, someone asks a simple question — “You don't really believe that, do you?” — and they pivot, soften, dodge, or joke their way out of clarity.That's Peter in John 18.He's not indifferent to Jesus. He followed Jesus into danger.He's not evil. He's scared.He wants proximity without exposure, closeness without cost.And that is exactly why he is so relatable.The good news is not “real disciples never falter.”The good news is “Jesus remains faithful when disciples falter.”Failure is real, but it is not final.The rooster crow is not just exposure — it's invitation back.Application move:Invite one concrete “truthful confession” this week:• owning faith in a conversation,• admitting a moral compromise, or• choosing honesty where silence is easier.

This episode breaks down why hard conversations often go poorly in coaching and how to handle them with clarity, calm, and consistency. Rob and Dustin outline a simple, repeatable framework that works with today's athletes and staff.Key Ideas• The 10–90 Rule: The first 10% of a hard conversation determines 90% of the outcome. How you start matters most.• Why these conversations matter: Most athletes have low reps in real conflict. Avoidance and emotional escalation are common. Coaches who handle conflict well build trust and stability.The Six Steps1. Invite — don't ambush Set a clear time, place, and purpose. Avoid vague “we need to talk” messages.2. Identify the issue Name the problem and stick to it. Don't drift into personal attacks.3. Inform the process Set simple ground rules: listen first, ask clarifying questions, work toward next steps.4. Listen to understand Not to win. Let the other person fully empty the tank.5. Give back Acknowledge the kernel of truth. Take the low seat when appropriate; it strengthens trust.6. Take action Agree on next steps and walk out aligned. Clarity and unity matter.SummaryConsistent structure + emotional regulation = better outcomes. Coaches who embrace hard conversations—not avoid them—lead stronger teams.LinksApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-coaching-an-impactful-coaching-project-podcast/id1711128150 Spotify: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-coaching-an-impactful-coaching-project-podcast/id1711128150 Substack: https://impactfulcoachingproject.substack.com

In 2018, Ghislaine Maxwell—despite years of public allegations connecting her to Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking operation—was invited to and attended Jeff Bezos's elite and secretive literary retreat known as Campfire. The event, hosted by Bezos annually, brings together top authors, tech moguls, and media power players at a private location for a weekend of discussions, panels, and informal networking. Maxwell's presence at the retreat raised eyebrows, not only because of her reputation by that point, but also because it demonstrated how seamlessly she continued to move through the highest levels of elite society even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Her attendance revealed a stunning level of normalization and acceptance within powerful circles, despite her growing notoriety.Maxwell reportedly arrived at the Campfire event alongside entrepreneur Scott Borgerson, a figure later revealed to be in a close relationship with her, though he denied any romantic involvement at the time. Attendees included influential figures from Silicon Valley, publishing, and entertainment—none of whom publicly objected to her presence. The revelation of her invitation has sparked renewed scrutiny into how the world's wealthiest and most influential people continued to welcome Epstein's known enablers into their inner circles long after the broader public became aware of their roles. It serves as yet another example of how elite spaces often insulate their own, regardless of the crimes that surround them.source:https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/01/jeffrey-epstein-friend-ghislaine-maxwell-was-guest-at-jeff-bezos-event.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Is there someone God has on your mind—someone you feel led to tell about Jesus? But how do you start that convo, what do you say...and when do you bring it up?! Deep breath. Sharing your faith doesn't need perfection. Just show up with love, be real, and trust God with the rest.

Guest speaker Sloan Adams, Senior Engagement Manager of Pastoral Relations for TPUSA Faith and leader on the “Make Heaven Crowded” tour, joined us this Sunday to continue our Joseph series in Genesis 45. Sloan shared briefly about his work equipping pastors and traveling nationwide to see lives transformed by the Gospel, then stepped into the powerful moment when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. After years of betrayal, suffering, and silence, Joseph chooses mercy over revenge. Instead of condemning them, he draws them near, names the wrong without minimizing it, and reframes the entire story through God's sovereignty—what they meant for evil, God used to preserve life. Sloan highlighted how this chapter foreshadows Christ: revelation leads to redemption, redemption leads to restoration, and restoration leads to revival. Joseph not only forgives his brothers, but restores relationship, invites them into closeness, provides abundantly for their future, and sends them back with good news—“Joseph is alive.” Just as Jacob's spirit revived when he heard the words and saw the evidence, we too are revived when we recognize that what seemed dead is not dead at all in God's hands.The message then turned personal, challenging us to examine where unforgiveness may still be lingering in our own hearts. Using the word FORGIVE, Sloan outlined a practical pathway: we must Face the pain, Overcome bitterness, Release justice to God, Give radical mercy, Invite nearness, Voice the good news, and Endure the process. Forgiveness does not deny the pain or erase boundaries, but it releases vengeance to God and frees us from bitterness. Restoration often requires endurance, intentional intimacy with the Lord, and the courage to bridge relational gaps. The service closed with a salvation invitation, prayer for those wrestling with unforgiveness, and a charge from Ephesians 4 to put away bitterness and forgive one another as Christ has forgiven us.Key Themes:Forgiveness and ReconciliationGod's Sovereignty in SufferingThe Gospel Parallels (Joseph as a Type of Christ)The Cost and Process of ForgivenessFaith and Culture EngagementPersonal Intimacy with GodCommunity and MissionEndurance and Spiritual GrowthTimestamps:0:20 — Welcome, announcements & speaker introduction 8:05 — A biblical lens on current events & cultural courage 14:40 — Opening prayer 15:35 — Genesis 45: Revelation releases redemption 17:45 — Joseph reveals himself to his brothers 24:20 — What you meant for evil, God meant for good 29:45 — Restoration, nearness & mission to bring Jacob 33:20 — Abundant provision & revived hope 39:45 — Walking out forgiveness (FORGIVE framework) 48:50 — Salvation invitation 51:40 — Prayer for freedom from bitterness 53:35 — Benediction: Ephesians 4 & final charge

This Lent season, we're inviting you to see and invite others to see Jesus! In this episode, we're unpacking what it means to live more intentionally, with a seeing posture, identifying those God has already placed in our lives and prayerfully discerning WHO He may be inviting us to reach out to and build relationship. We aim to provide both big picture ideas and practical ways you can practice this. Stay tuned for more episodes that explore future steps of inviting, hosting and following-up!

https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Cooke-3-1-26.mp3 When we look at the enemy all around us, we may be tempted to despair. The enemies of Christ control the news media, the entertainment sector, the monetary supply, education, and virtually every elected official in Washington's uni-party. Yes, it’s bad out there. It seems as if there are no quick solutions, but God has turned things around quickly before. We see one such example in 1st Century Thessalonica. Paul, Silvanus, & Timothy  ‘turned the world upside down’ (Acts 17:6). In I Thessalonians 1:5-7 we see the simplicity of their world-flipping method. &, spoiler alert; it's men. Convictional, Holy Spirit filled, unflinching men, who pour into other men, who pour into other men. The transformation of our nation by the power of God depends upon the mobilization of men who have been transformed by the power of the Gospel, Follow such men. Be that kind of man. Invite others to follow you as you follow Christ.

This message came from a deep personal conviction about community and what we've lost.In Acts 2, we see the early Church fully devoted to one another. They shared life, meals, prayer, resources, and responsibility. Community wasn't optional. It was essential.During COVID, we saw people step up in crisis. We checked on each other, helped each other, and stayed connected however we could. But crisis response isn't the same as ongoing devotion. Crisis is always happening, just quieter.Isolation became one of the enemy's greatest tools. Families suffered. Churches suffered. People stopped believing they needed each other. Convenience and technology created a false sense of connection, and many drifted away from community altogether.Scripture reminds us we are one body, not disconnected parts. A body part can't function on its own. God created us uniquely, but our uniqueness was meant to be brought together for something greater.True community doesn't just care for who is present. It pursues those who are missing. That takes sacrifice. Time. Energy. Intentionality.Jesus wasn't calling us to comfortable faith, but useful faith. Hot heals. Cold refreshes. Lukewarm does nothing.The call is simple but costly: stop living isolated lives and start being devoted to one another. Invite people in. Reach out. Serve. Listen. Care. Because when we truly live as one body, the love of Christ becomes visible to the world.

Are your prospects ghosting you after showing interest? If people say they're interested, ask for the video, and then disappear, the problem may not be your leads—it may be your posture. In this episode, Ray Higdon breaks down the real reason prospects stop responding and how subtle shifts in posture and positioning dramatically affect your close rate. Most salespeople assume ghosting is a prospect problem. But in reality, prospects respond to energy, positioning, and how conversations are led. Ray explains why chasing repels prospects, how speaking above a prospect's position creates resistance, and how to follow up without sounding needy or desperate. You will also learn a simple follow-up framework that creates urgency, filters serious prospects, and increases closing percentages. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you stop getting ghosted and start leading conversations with confidence and clarity. Keywords naturally included: why prospects stop responding, sales ghosting, handling unresponsive prospects, sales posture, follow-up strategies, closing more sales, network marketing training, sales positioning, improving response rates, prospecting mistakes —

We talk about healing as though it's inevitable. As though proximity to Scripture, therapy language, or Christian community automatically produces transformation. But God does not force anyone into wholeness. He invites. He confronts. He calls. And too many believers confuse awareness with growth. This week on Win Today, Debra Fileta joins me for a sober conversation about emotional health and spiritual maturity. We examine why so many Christians remain emotionally immature while sounding spiritually fluent, how "trauma-informed" has in some circles become trauma-defined identity, and why you cannot become spiritually mature if your mental and emotional life is neglected. Healing is not passive. It is participatory. If your faith is sincere but your reactions are volatile… if you know the right language but keep repeating the same patterns… or if you've mistaken self-protection for self-awareness, this episode will clarify what real growth actually requires.

She is the author of five books, host of the Love + Relationships Podcast, and founder of TrueLoveDates.com, a widely read relationship advice platform reaching millions worldwide.

In this episode, Jessica speaks with Susan Morgan, Education Practice Leader at CannonDesign, about radically student-centered design in educational spaces. Susan shares her unique journey from participating in school design projects as a 10-year-old Montessori student to becoming an architect dedicated to creating learning environments that inspire curiosity. She discusses innovative projects including the Irman Crest Elementary School—a groundbreaking collaboration with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh—and the ongoing Independence High School project. The conversation explores how buildings can become tools for learning rather than just containers for activities, and how exposing students to diverse opportunities through intentional spatial design can unlock their potential. Takeaways: Buildings as learning tools: Design schools that actively participate in learning, not just house it Start with "what if": Invite all stakeholders to reimagine possibilities before focusing on constraints Remove barriers to curiosity: Create environments that support natural learning instincts rather than limiting them Make opportunities visible: Use spatial connections so students are exposed to disciplines they might not otherwise discover Design for adaptability: Treat schools like museums—plan for environments to evolve with changing pedagogy and technology When learners thrive, communities flourish: This is the heart of radically student-centered design Learn More About Kay-Twelve: Website: https://kay-twelve.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/kay-twelve-com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kay_twelve/ Episode 304 of the Better Learning Podcast Kevin Stoller is the host of the Better Learning Podcast and Co-Founder of Kay-Twelve, a national leader for educational furniture.

If you want to close more sales, you may be focusing on the wrong part of the process. In this episode, Ray Higdon reveals why closing actually starts much earlier than most salespeople think—and shares three practical action steps you can apply immediately to increase conversions. You will learn why talking to more people dramatically improves close rates, how closing begins the moment you start interacting with a prospect, and why expanding the problem (without manipulating it) naturally leads to stronger buying decisions. Ray also explains why waiting for marketing to work is one of the biggest income killers in modern sales. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, coaching, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you close more deals by improving activity, posture, and conversation strategy.   —

Team USA Women's Hockey Declines SOTU Invite Trump joked he'd “have to” invite the women's team or risk impeachment. The women were formally invited. They declined, citing scheduling conflicts. The moment undercut a carefully curated State of the Union optics play. Theme: You can't manufacture unity if respect sounds reluctant.“Have to Invite the Women” Joke Backfires Trump framed inviting the women as political necessity. Delivered during a celebratory moment with the men's team. Comment intensified scrutiny around women's sports recognition. The later decline amplified the original tone problem. Theme: If the punchline boomerangs, it wasn't clever — it was careless. FBI Director Kash Patel Locker-Room Optics Patel appeared in Team USA's celebration footage. Critics questioned neutrality optics. Lands amid broader politicization concerns. Theme: When federal authority looks like VIP access, perception becomes the story.  Supreme Court Limits Emergency Tariff Authority Court ruled emergency powers cannot stretch into unilateral trade control. Reaffirmed Congress's constitutional role. Trump criticized ruling and claimed leverage. Legal confusion around which tariffs remain valid. Theme: Executive improvisation vs. constitutional guardrails. Customs Halts Struck Tariffs — New 15% Global Tariff Imposed Customs deactivated invalidated tariff codes.
