In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt tackle a common challenge: well-meaning board members whose ideas can derail a campaign. From insisting on fundraising galas to asking for gifts too early—or too small—board members often act with good intentions but without a clear understanding of how campaigns actually work.Amy and Andrea share real-life examples of how campaigns have gone off course due to board members pushing for events, making premature asks, setting unrealistic goals, or resisting professional help. They explain why these situations happen and what staff and leadership teams can do to address them without damaging relationships.You'll hear practical suggestions like:Inviting outside campaign consultants for informal interviews to offer perspectiveBringing in peer leaders from other successful campaignsUsing tools like one-on-one conversations and Capital Campaign Pro's free Board Member's Guide to Capital CampaignsThis episode also explores why compassion and curiosity matter when redirecting board members—and how a calm, strategic approach can keep your campaign focused, your team unified, and your donors confident.If you've got a board member pushing for a golf tournament to raise $10 million, this one's for you.For more board engagement tips, be sure to download our free Board Member's Guide to Capital Campaign Fundraising. It answers the questions board members most frequently ask, or wish they could ask.

Fancy a playdate that's to die for? Join Mumsy, Nanny, and their darling (if slightly overaged) Sonny and Girly! This charmingly unhinged family just adores making new friends and luring them back to their quaint estate for endless games. Just remember: follow the rules, or it's permanent naptime! Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly (1970) Get ready for a rollicking, if rather unnerving, trip to the countryside with Freddie Francis's 1970 cult delight, "Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly"! Forget your typical family get-togethers; this aristocratic British clan, tucked away in their gloriously crumbling Gothic pile, has a very peculiar idea of fun, and it's all part of their never-ending, ever-so-slightly lethal "Game." Meet the players, won't you? There's Mumsy (Ursula Howells), the lady of the manor, whose honeyed tones could charm the birds from the trees – right before she plots their untimely demise. Then we have dear old Nanny (Pat Heywood), ever loyal, ever simmering, and a stickler for the family's rather unique traditions. And who could forget the children? Sonny (Howard Trevor) and Girly (Vanessa Howard) are grown-ups who've hit the pause button on maturing, preferring school uniforms and a particularly sinister brand of playtime. Their favourite pastime? Inviting charming chaps, affectionately dubbed "New Friends," back to their secluded estate for a jolly good… well, let's just say it rarely ends with a polite thank-you note. You see, these "New Friends" quickly discover that their weekend invitation comes with a few rather peculiar house rules. They're expected to join in the family's whimsical, if decidedly menacing, games. Pop a clanger, try to leg it, or generally spoil the fun? Well, that's a one-way ticket to "meeting the angels," a quaint family euphemism for a rather permanent departure, often captured on Sonny's home movie camera for a bit of fireside entertainment. The film wastes no time in showing us how previous guests have fared – it's not pretty, but it's frightfully inventive! Now, the real sport begins when a particularly sharp "New Friend" (the rather dapper Michael Bryant) wanders into their web. Unlike the others, this chap's got his wits about him. He starts to notice the little cracks in this picture of domestic bliss: the glint of jealousy between Mumsy and Nanny, the oddly chummy vibes between Sonny and Girly, and young Girly's rather blossoming, if thoroughly confused, interest in him. Our clever "New Friend" decides it's time to shake things up a bit, playing the family members off against each other like a maestro of mischief. He turns on the charm, especially with the ladies, and watches the sparks fly! Girly's head over heels, Mumsy sees a new star for her manipulative little shows, and Nanny? Well, Nanny's green-eyed monster is having a field day. Sonny, bless his cotton socks, just wants things back to the way they were and gets increasingly tetchy. As our "New Friend" pulls the strings, the once-sacred rules of "The Game" get hilariously, and then dangerously, twisted. It's not the captive causing the chaos anymore; it's the captors themselves, all clamouring for his attention and a slice of the power pie. The previously united, if terrifyingly bonkers, family starts to come apart at the seams, tumbling towards a climax that's as wildly entertaining as it is darkly satisfying. "Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly" is a cheeky poke at the old stiff upper lip and the very idea of a 'proper' family, all wrapped up in a deliciously dark and witty package. It's less about the blood and guts and more about the spine-tingling giggles and the sheer audacity of a household where innocence and insanity go hand-in-hand. So, if you fancy a film that's truly one of a kind, step into their parlour – just be sure you know the rules of "The Game"! "In a happy family, you must always have rules."   Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod    Thanks for listening   Scott and Steven

Have you had an encounter with God that has impacted and changed your life for the better, one or more experiences that have caused spiritual growth in your life? Sharing our personal spiritual experiences with others helps to encourage them that God loves them and is present and interested in our lives, ever willing to help us. - Lynette Kittle In this episode of Your Daily Prayer, Lynette Kittle invites listeners to reflect on how we can actively prepare our hearts for a deeper relationship with God. Using Acts 17:26–27 as a foundation, she offers four biblical ways to pursue spiritual growth: seeking God, reading Scripture, inviting the Holy Spirit’s teaching, and maintaining a life of prayer. If you've ever felt distant from God or longed for more personal connection with Him, this prayerful devotion offers practical encouragement and Scriptural truth to draw near and grow in faith. Topics covered: How to cultivate your heart for spiritual growth God’s desire for personal connection with us The essential role of Scripture and prayer Inviting the Holy Spirit’s guidance Encouragement for those feeling spiritually dry or distant Scripture References Acts 17:26–27 (NIV) “From one man He made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from any one of us.”

Spring Cleaning - Week 3 - "Inviting Jesus Into My Friendships" - Josh Amstutz

Inviting all to come to His church.

Jesus is risen and reigning over the world; he is constantly, relentlessly at work. Bishop Paul continues this series by examining the way that Christ is, every day, inviting us to intimacy with God, despite all of our inadequacies and imperfections. The invitation of communion is incredible, not only because Jesus is present with us, but also because we are welcome to be present with him.

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers! Segment 1 • How do I honor God by not allowing my mom's same-sex partner at our wedding? • Where does Scripture claim to be the sole authority in the Christian life? • Are there any red flags I should watch for when reading Puritan writings? Segment 2 • Can you spend too much time with Jesus—or is more always better? • If a pastor has no seminary training but meets biblical qualifications, is he truly fit to lead? Segment 3 • Did Lazarus go to heaven during the four days he was dead? • As a young woman, how do I biblically prepare for marriage and motherhood? • Is bringing coffee into church irreverent—or are we being too rigid? Segment 4 • Is the “secret rapture” a biblical idea—or a misunderstanding of Scripture? • What did Jesus really write in the sand—and does it matter? • Why does John's Gospel leave out the Transfiguration? • How do I lovingly correct a friend who thinks God audibly speaks to him regularly? – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

Why does your wife still feel distant—even when you're finally getting it right?In this episode, we dive into one of the most frustrating (and overlooked) moments in recovery and reconciliation: the emotional whiplash your wife experiences when you grow in silence and then suddenly announce your progress.In Part 3 of this powerful series, we explore:Why simply “sharing your growth” can still feel painful to your wifeThe secret to communicating progress in a way that actually builds trustA step-by-step phrase to lower her anxiety at the start of any hard conversationHow to share your journey without making her feel left behind or judgedWhy “beginning with the end in mind” and “seeking miracles” changes everythingThe myth that “she's not allowed to talk about my mistakes” — and how that belief damages emotional intimacyIf you've ever thought, “I'm improving… so why does she still feel unsafe?” — this episode is for you.Want to read more about this topic? ⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/letter-to-my-returned-missionary-self/Rather Watch Something? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks65eS6bJIs&t=1sCheck out the Marriage Repair Workshops: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/⁠

You've made a breakthrough. You've figured out what went wrong and you're finally on the right path. So why does your wife still seem disconnected… or even upset?In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, we unpack the often-missed truth behind emotional whiplash: when men share the destination of their growth without taking their wife along for the journey.We discuss:Why your wife may not trust your progress unless she sees how you got thereThe iceberg analogy: why she can't see your internal workHow to bring her into your reflection without being dragged into shameWhy slowing the process down might save the relationship, not sabotage itHow your excitement can unintentionally leave her behindThe power of starting with “I was reflecting…”What it really means to “walk her through” your progress instead of dumping it on herThis episode is for husbands who are trying, but keep hearing:“You still don't get it.”Even when you thought you did.Want to read more about this topic? ⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/the-warrior-code/⁠Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw-KuldXksICheck out the Marriage Repair Workshops: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.lifechangingservices.org/marriage-repair/⁠

Fr. Michael and Molly revisit fear (and a quick intrusion from baby Laney), to see how we can invite Jesus into the midst of the darkness.

In Part 1 of Mike Lejeune's interview with Stephen Gaffney on Strategies for Tomorrow's Leaders, they delve into what it takes to build a consistently high-achieving team. Stephen emphasizes that trust and honest communication are essential for great teamwork.  He and Mike discuss how leaders can create an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing concerns and real feedback—without fear. Stephen explains that when people feel emotionally safe, they're more likely to speak up about problems and contribute ideas, which ultimately drives better results. In fact, he shares a story of a struggling team that turned their performance around once they made open, honest conversations a daily habit. Another key theme of this episode is the importance of focusing on outcomes instead of just effort. Stephen challenges leaders to rethink how they define success: it's not about how hard people try, but what they actually accomplish. He offers practical tips for shifting a team's mindset toward results, like setting clear goals and rewarding achievements. Throughout the conversation, you'll hear real-world examples and simple strategies that any leader can use to boost trust, encourage open dialogue, and keep their team focused on what really matters. Highlights Why people don't tell the truth at work: Stephen shares the top reason and how to fix it A team transformed: How a struggling team turned around once honest feedback became the norm Results vs. effort: The culture shift that happens when you reward outcomes instead of hours worked Inviting tough feedback: Stephen's tips for making it safe for your team to speak up (even with bad news) No more “shooting the messenger”: What to do as a leader when you hear uncomfortable truths Consistency in performance: Why high-achieving teams focus on repeated wins, not one-off successes Key Takeaways Create psychological safety for honesty. Teams perform best when people feel safe to speak up with the truth. Measure success by results, not effort. Emphasize outcomes achieved instead of hours spent or “trying hard.” Invite candid feedback often. Regularly ask your team for honest input and listen without getting defensive. Lead by example. Admit your own mistakes and share your honest thoughts respectfully – it sets the tone for everyone else. Make accountability a team effort. Encourage team members to hold each other responsible for results, not just rely on the boss. Focus on solutions, not blame. When things go wrong, discuss how to improve and reach the goal next time rather than pointing fingers.

What if doubt isn't the enemy of faith but the beginning of deeper belief? On this episode of Being Human, Steve Cuss explores spiritual deconstruction and the way writers like Frederick Buechner and Madeleine L'Engle paved the way for honest, Christ-centered wrestling with belief. Sharing personal stories and biblical insight, Steve unpacks how anxiety, reactivity, and certainty can block spiritual growth—and how curiosity and vulnerability open the door to true connection with Jesus and others. If your faith is shifting, this episode offers clarity, hope, and a path toward deeper belief and renewal. Resources mentioned in this episode include: A conversation with Philip Yancey on faith and doubt Excerpts from the works of Frederick Buechner on faith despite doubt Madeleine L'Engle on those without doubt (video clip) Madeleine L'Engle on faith (video clip) The meaning of the disciples' doubt in Matthew 28:17 Jude 1:22 and what it means to have mercy on those who doubt  John 8 and lessons of the woman caught in adultery “Have Mercy on Those Who Doubt” by Jon Bloom Learn more about your ad choices.

In this special 200th episode of Podtastic Audio, I'm taking off the headphones and getting real with you. Over the last 15 years, I've worked as a gasoline tanker truck driver—and for the past several years, I've also been behind the mic as an indie podcaster, podcast editor, and podcast coach. But this episode isn't about audio tips or gear recommendations. It's about why I podcast in the first place. This is my most personal episode yet. I'm sharing the full story of how I went from being a long-haul listener to launching The Kris and Kristine Show with my wife, how that podcast helped build a relationship—and how the end of both the show and the marriage left me rebuilding everything from scratch. Through heartbreak, divorce, and the chaos of starting over, podcasting became more than just a creative outlet—it became my lifeline. I talk openly about navigating the collapse of a relationship, the decline of our podcast, and what it's like to lose your co-host and your best friend all at once. But I didn't stop. I kept creating. In this episode, I also introduce my new podcast project, Everyone's a Bot, a short-form social media comedy podcast that helps me laugh through the absurdity of online life. Whether you're new to podcasting, deep into your own indie podcast journey, or just need to hear a real story about resilience and rediscovery, this one's for you.

Spring Cleaning - Week 2 - "Inviting Jesus Into My Wants" - Josh Amstutz

Wakame sea salt chocolate, anyone? Or how about oyster chocolate?

Imagine the incredible work God could accomplish when we open our hearts wide—making Room for More of Him in our lives—and extend that same welcome to even more people at Black Rock Church. Over this past year, we've witnessed God move in extraordinary ways through our church family, and now we're thrilled to unveil our bold vision for creating even greater space—Room for More of God—in the days ahead.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Against all odds, young men across the country are awakening to the sacred residing in their hearts. Jack delivers the Friday Claymore Miletus Christi update on Holy Thursday! Inviting listeners to step back into the most profound story of all time during the holiest weekend of the year.The battlefield between love and lust, truth and lies, is first fought within each individual human heart. This spiritual warfare represents the fundamental choice we all face: Will we embrace the City of Man, where humans make themselves gods deciding good and evil, or the City of God, where we acknowledge divine truth and seek how we should live? Drawing powerful parallels between ancient Exodus readings and Christ's sacrifice, Jack demonstrates how the unblemished Passover lamb whose bones remained unbroken prefigured Jesus himself.What makes this cultural moment so perilous is the widespread embrace of moral relativism—essentially modern paganism—that leads inevitably to violence, irrationality, and destruction. When Jesus said "the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the work of the devil," he identified the true nature of our struggle. This isn't merely political division between left and right, but a cosmic battle between Christ and Satan playing out in real time across Western civilization.Download our Claymore battle plan today and discover how to walk this path with others who share your search for authentic faith and purpose. Remember, "If you seek, you will find. If you knock, it will be opened to you." What forgotten dreams might God be waiting to fulfill in your life?Visit jp2renew.org, go to resources, and download the Claymore Battle Plan to begin your journey toward freedom, purpose, and authentic manhood today.Read Jacks article in his SubstackContact Jack: info@jp2renew.orgFollow us and watch on X: John Paul II Renewal @JP2RenewalOn Rumble: JohnPaulIIRCSupport the show

Breaking Down the Old Rules

In this episode, I am speaking with Elisa Kim, an award-winning design professor, and founder of Studio EGGI which is a functional designed mini kitchen for kids. She specializes in using play and design to help kids develop a positive relationship with food making mealtimes less of a battle and more of an opportunity for exploration and connection. Many parents believe food play is messy, wasteful, or unproductive, but research has shown that kids who engage with food touching, smelling, and even playing with it are likelier to try and enjoy new foods. And that is exactly what we talk about in today's show, how a play-based approach to food helps with picky eating, fosters independence, and helps make meal times fun again! You will love this conversation with Elisa, learning about Studio EGGI and how it can bring a magical transformational experience to meal times in your kitchen as it has in mine.   Highlights from this episode: How embracing food play tackles picky eating Inviting kids into the kitchen to explore new foods Using real kitchen tools builds confidence The concept of Studio EGGI + non-mealtime ideas Creating a Montessori/real life approach in your home Practical tips for mealtime Raising confident eaters Show sponsors: Ultimate Baby Nutrition Consulting - Send me an email at marniwasserman.com/contact with the title “I want to work with you” if you're interested in working with me to support your baby starting solids Paleovalley - Save 15% off your 1st order of Paleovalley products, discount applied at checkout Related links: Follow @marniwasserman and @ultimatehealthpodcast on Instagram for Sarelle and Hayden updates Studio EGGI - Save $100 off when you use the code Marni100 at checkout Follow Studio EGGI on Facebook and Instagram Subscribe to TUBP in Apple Podcasts and Spotify Note: Some of the links above are affiliate links.
