Podcasts about job one

Economist Daniel Altman — who publishes the Daniel Altman's High Yield Economics newsletter — says that the Federal Reserve and its chairman Jerome Powell provided more certainty than the market was expecting on Wednesday by effectively confirming that fighting inflation, rather than unemployment, is Job One. That means interest rates will stay higher for longer, with cuts not occurring until late this year or into 2026. Altman worries about the potential for stagflation and says that the job market may be weaker than the numbers are suggesting, but he does believe the worst-case outcomes can be avoided with appropriate policy decisions. Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist at Allianz Investment Management, says that the soft economic data like consumer confidence suggests that the economy is headed into a big slowdown, but the hard data isn't validating the biggest worries yet. Ripley says fundamentals remain strong, and that there are some plusses — like falling energy prices — that have been overlooked amid the dire headlines. Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, makes a brand new fund that is focused on hedge-fund activity his "ETF of the Week," noting the fund's potential for diversifying the average portfolio and for running against market trends.

Nigel Hannaford discusses Trump's seemingly confusing actions with Brian Lee Crowley, Managing director of Macdonald–Laurier Institute

David Waldman counts down the days until our national apocalypse, yet with so many tied down the backstretch, this race is a tough call! For supposed “auditors”, nothing about DOGE adds up. Monday, Elon gave federal workers until three to… Uhm, today Elon gave federal workers until three to… Tomorrow, Elon will give federal workers until three to… Trump could barely get a semi-fired up today, as his EO has ED. Musk was able to cut 20 DOGE staff today who couldn't look themselves in the mirror anymore. Meanwhile, “fired” staffers keep finding themselves “unfired”. Those who did send in responses will have the answers fed into AI and anyone determined to be funnier than Musk will be dismissed immediately… (Those people would also be expected to be more liberal, naturally.) DOGE's dealings are illegal and even unconstitutional, but now the challenge is determining who is DOGE's head douche. Trump is so opposed to leaving a paper trail that he skips on chances to cover his own ass. DOGE was designed to attack liberals, but it terrifies the ever-loving crap out of Democrats, which was “Job One” for Donald K. Trump. Donald can now leave the Lib cleanup operation to Don Bongino and Don Jr.'s “hunting buddy” who will instruct the FDA to move infant formula by the kilo from this point on. With the US out of the way it is now time to Make Axis Great Again for our new conquest over our old allies. With such colossal corruption, who's to notice the little stuff, like a Florida congressman assaulting women at night along the Wharf? At least that's what the U.S. Attorney's Office thought when they tossed his warrant into the trash.

Samantha Hicks has been working as a substitute teacher in this province for ten years. She says that because of NL Schools' hiring practices, she and other part-time teachers have struggled to find permanent employment. So, Hicks has decided to go to the North West Territories, where she'll have a classroom to call her own. She spoke with the CBC's Amy Feehan about her frustrations with the NL school system.

[SEGMENT 1-1] Shock and Awe 1 What should we be focused on if we really wanted to change America? We have Democrats on the ropes in all areas of society: Crime; just saw illegals beat down 2 NYPD cops. What better example of Leftism can you find? Defund the Police, take THAT! And how about we revisit building that wall? And what about Affirmative Action: Talk about showcase that monumental fail front and center, look at Fani Willis. Her appearance was a trainwreck. Letitia James will likely get a temporary win, but it will be overturned. Alvin Bragg's case is doomed. The justice system? Forget how Fani Willis is behaving, let's not forget the Bidens. Now we are told that the chief FBI whistleblower is a LIAR? Well we can't have a LIAR in our midst, when the job is to protect the Liar-In-Chief and his family. Super Bowl shooter. Those dang GUNS! All distractions from what? The corrupt Biden family; would you want to investigate fully a business with ties to our enemy, and who is selling influence in our political system. Shouldn't this be JOB ONE? How much scratching around the surface can we do, when we have all the evidence. And now Democrats pretend that our evidence is bogus with this latest farce. More on that in a bit. [SEGMENT 1-2] Shock and Awe 2 [X] SB – Jill Biden blames Trump on border https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1758170556166197692 Joe and Jill Biden walk in front of a big valentine on the WH lawn after having taken a picture in front of it. As they head towards the WH, Joe asks Jill if they want to get a picture in front of it. She responds, we already did. Inflation through the roof. Or is it? Not according to Biden. Just when you start believing the life that you're living, the Biden administration reports new data. Now you can recalibrate. Data emerges about Covid that doesn't support the government experts, yet no apologies. No recompense for those hurt by the allegations of being anti-vaxxers or spreading disinformation. Even to this day, the Left try to act as if their being BLATANTLY wrong is not their fault. They did their DUTY and trusted the experts. [X] SB – Media mashup Covid do your own research Don't let it dominate your life?! Everyone should be afraid of Covid Won't be free until we look at the acknowledged truth Science is truth. Openly questioning science Do what you are told You are a THREAT! A denier Seek out the scientists. Trust the experts. Do my own research. Roots of this phrase Tased over not wearing mask. Want to KILL them. Don't listen to Trump. But listen to Gates Follow science The government lying about a supposedly deadly disease that cost $6T and we are no more safe than we were previously. Who all is involved in that lie? The border invasion that disrupts every area of our lives… Joe Biden IS old and demented [SEGMENT 1-3] Shock and Awe 3 Atlanta Fani Willis had another chance to make her case. Prosecutors are often frustrated actors, and prone to courtroom theatrics. Fani is no exception. Too bad, as one wag put it 'every time she opens her mouth she admits to another felony.' She really has been promoted above her level of competence. Looks like she, and her case, will be tossed out pretty soon. Of course, to Fani, all of this is a lie, and she is not really on trial here. NY This was another grand theatre performance. Judge Arthur Engoron, who has made quite a few courtroom performances, decided that Trump was guilty (without allowing him a defense or to even speak), and fined him $364 million for 'fraud' and ordered him not to conduct business in NY for three years, nor to use any NY bank for that time. PersecutionThis is really blatant political persecution, trying to bankrupt the opposition and keep them off the ballot. Unlikely that this will hold up on appeal. What is likely is that 'as you treat others, so shall you be treated'. Keep an eye on this judge. At some point, things are not going to go well for him. NYC By the way, the average price for a one-topping pizza in NY now is $34 - thanks to the politicians, illegals, criminals and court system. No wonder people are moving out as fast as they can. Gangs The illegals who attacked the cops and beat them were members of the gang "Tran de Aragua". They were released after a local sanctuary church posted bail for them. (The Venezuelan gang is 'teaming' with MS-13, the animals from El Salvador. Ed) 23 & Me This company has tanked. They collected DNA on millions of people, and now all that data is compromised. Big Tech and various government agencies now have access to all that very personal information, and no restrictions on what they do with it. So much to look forward to... Tranny of the Year This person calls his/her self Pattie Gonia. Looks like the makeup is applied with a trowel. [SEGMENT 1-4] Shock and Awe 4 - Backfire Despite shock and awe, we as conservatives are FEASTING! Two things are about to happen that won't be good for Joe Biden or the Democrats. First, America will learn the truth about how the Biden family used Joe Biden for their individual grifts. Second, Joe Biden will be outed for being a corrupt politician, no different from most of his Democrat cronies. Regarding the latter, Biden's days are numbered. So Leftist elites have authorized the leak of information formerly kept under wraps in the media. Case in point, this article in Politico about Jim Biden's health care scam. Politico explains, In 2017, a hospital operator set out to build a rural health care empire with the help of a Philadelphia-area consultant. The consultant, Jim Biden, had no experience running hospitals. But he did understand the federal government and had ties to labor unions. Perhaps more important, he was the younger brother of Joe Biden. Sound familiar? A Biden family member involving himself in business where he has no experience? What could Jim Biden possibly be selling? I suspect if "investigators" follow the money, there will be a circuitous path that ends with "the big guy" getting his part. The article further explains that Joe Biden understood the finality of his tenure as Obama's VP. The final years of the Obama administration had cemented the former vice president's towering stature in the world of health care, where he had made the fight against cancer a top federal priority and, then, a centerpiece of his legacy-building efforts. For then 67-year-old Jim Biden, the third of four Biden siblings, his ties to his older brother made up much of his pitch as he pursued deals that could help Americore make money from drug rehab, lab testing and even cancer treatment. “This would be a perfect platform to expose my Brothers team to [your] protocol,” Jim Biden wrote to the CEO of a Tampa-area company that controlled licensing rights to an experimental cancer treatment the hospital operator wanted to offer. “Could provide a great opportunity for some real exposure.” Recall that Obama put Joe Biden in charge of curing cancer. How did Biden perform? Like a Biden. I documented how Biden's cancer charity was a scam: The charity took in $4,809,619 in contributions in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and spent $3,070,301 on payroll in those two years. The group's president, Gregory Simon, raked in $429,850 in fiscal 2018 (July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019), according to the charity's most recent federal tax filings. Simon, a former Pfizer executive and longtime health care lobbyist who headed up the White House's cancer task force in President Barack Obama's administration, saw his salary nearly double from the $224,539 he made in fiscal 2017, tax filings show. With a scam like this, why not introduce the Biden family racket to the health care industry. They could print money. The article continues, The email, obtained by POLITICO from a person close to the company, documents one of the many ways in which Jim Biden invoked his brother's name and clout in the course of his work with Americore, which has since gone bankrupt, wreaking havoc in rural communities in the process. Unearthed email? Joe Biden was vetted, and Democrats knew every detail of his life. The pathological lies. The philandering and sexual assaults. And of course the grifts. Joe Biden has been for sale for decades. After he was hand-picked from the collection of Leftist losers to get shoe-horned as POTUS in the coup of Trump, Biden was given a license to steal. He could fully entrenched himself in his family's larceny, behind the scenes of course. Duplicate email accounts with fake names, multiple bank accounts, and burner phones is how the family operated. Undoubtedly, no legitimate business in America operates like the Biden family businesses. And you can bet if Trump set his businesses up like this, the entire Trump family would be in prison, including Barron. While Leftists focus on Donald Trump's admitted and sanctioned business bankruptcies, they never discuss those of the Bidens. Almost every deal touched by the Bidens ends up in bankruptcy or insolvency of some sort. The bigger the company, the bigger the fall. Americore. Gone. Burisma. Gone. Even the partnership the Biden family had with a Chinese spy who worked for the Chinese Communist Party. Gone. America. GONE! Why would anybody "invest" with the Bidens? The Bidens bring no market expertise to any businesses they pursue. Worse, they suck millions of dollars from the bottom line; yet companies seem anxious to work with them. Back to the email. Th

Steve Stratton started his military career at the White House Communications Agency supporting the needs of Presidents Ford and Carter, Vice Presidents Rockefeller and Mondale, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. His work took him around the world introducing him to new cultures, ways of thinking, and the various agencies tasked with projecting and protecting American interests abroad. The jump to the US Secret Service was an easy transition but after several years and an election campaign, Steve left for the commercial sector. Steve was awarded his Green Beret in 1986. From the 80's through 2000, he deployed with 20th Special Forces on counter-drug and training missions in the SOUTHCOM region. His civilian contractor time includes support for USCENTCOM, USSOCOM, and several intelligence agencies. Today he is retired but advising cyber security companies that support the warfighter and intelligence community. When he is not writing, you can find him mountain biking, trout fishing, or hunting in Colorado.

By any means necessary. When the resurgent Sinaloa cartel attacks Wolf and his wife, Elle Parker, on the Crow Indian reservation, the safety of his people becomes Job One—until the president of the United States orders Shadow Tier to stop the Taliban's opium trade. The president's underlying message: The drug war is a failure. Fix this now, or your black funding disappears. Torn between saving his people and the president's demands for direct action, Wolf sends Shadow Tier's Bravo Squadron to Afghanistan to infiltrate the Taliban drug organization. He sends Kieran Kennedy, his executive officer, to stand up and train a new international Charlie Squadron in the U.K. While Wolf bends the rules to protect the reservation on the home front, the squadrons track opium with a mysterious United Nations connection out of Afghanistan to a new “French Connection” in Marseilles, France. The teams identify a likely distribution hub and its leadership. But going deeper will take initiative and innovation. Kennedy takes the dangerous decision to operate in the open … as a drug cartel. The operation yields results, but there is a piece missing. Parker and Kennedy believe a government contractor providing logistics flights into and out of the war zones is involved. Plans are made by the fake cartel for a large shipment of heroin to go to the mafia in New York City, where wholesale arrests will be made if all goes as planned. As the data pours in from three continents, the heroin network unfolds and things to do not go as planned. The takedown of a multi-national drug production, shipment, and sales operation is unlike any operation Shadow Tier has attempted. For the president, it's a no-fail mission or his administration is doomed. For Shadow Tier, it's time to bring the war back into the war on drugs.

The Church

Holy Spirit Has a Job One thing that the scriptures make clear is that God has specific jobs.  If you were asked what job, or what function, did Jesus play, you would probably be able to answer that without a problem.  But, what if you were asked what job does the Holy Spirit have? This […] The post Holy Spirit 101 appeared first on Navigation Church.

After going over their Frustrations With The Church in an earlier episode, Beth and Kristofer now explain Solidarity With The Church. What exactly does that mean? How can we know if we are in solidarity with the Church? Beth and Kristofer dive into the relationship we should have with the Church and by extension our relationship to and with Jesus. Unity with the Magisterium is important and Job One at Holy Owned and Operated and in the Cowles Family. So how do we reconcile those frustrations with solidarity? It's all about Family... As a bonus, you get to hear our new washing machine and dryer, and Kristofer sings a thirty year old commercial for a local appliance store. Fun stuff!

Carrying water for the Biden adminstration is Job One by the mainstream corporate media, and they went into overdrive today attempting to defend his hoarding of classified documents upon leaving office as Vice-President back in 2017. This is in sharp contrast to the media's robust condemnation of President Trump for doing the same, which led to a FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago this summer. Dan points out the obvious hypocrisy and why Biden has put the press in a real bind.

Veteran operator Terry Muckenfuss began his education in concept development while planning his own concept in his hometown of New Braunfels, Texas. A graduate of the Hospitality & Tourism Management program at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, he already had significant industry experience. That includes a successful career with Golden Corral, headquartered in the Tarheel State, where he also found inspiration for his startup.   "Hops Burger Bar in Greensboro, North Carolina provided the inspiration for the restaurant I wanted to create," says Terry. He brought that vision to Texas and found a unique location next to a historic boutique hotel to realize it. He hired menu consultant Christina Fuller to help develop the concept's point of difference.   In this episode we learn how Terry took his plan from idea to reality to open Muck N' Fuss Craft Beer & Burger Bar in 2018. Offering fresh, never-frozen ground beef, quality local ingredients, homemade beer-battered onion rings, and 30 craft beer selections on tap, Muck N' Fuss quickly became a local favorite.   A student of Malcolm Baldrige award recipient "Pals Sudden Service" and its total quality management culture, Terry explains why staff development is Job One. "After four years of running a successful operation, I continue to rely on my people because no single person has all the answers," says Terry.   Terry also explains how a commitment to incremental improvement motivates his team to continuously improve the guest experience and earn repeat patronage.   This is how you win in the independent restaurant business. Tune in and take notes.

Alternative dispute resolution – including appraisal – is playing an increasingly important role in settling homeowners property insurance claims.  Florida's 2019 Assignment of Benefits (AOB) law requires third party contractors to utilize these alternatives before filing a lawsuit against an insurance company, if required by the policy. Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller talks with a repair contractor and an insurance appraiser who share how today's technology and methods can not only reduce lawsuits, but herald the return of good customer service and improve the insurance claims process for everyone.Show NotesJohn Minor, President of Complete Inc. and Complete General Contractors of Florida said he's seen a lot of changes in his 30 years in the business.  His firm does a lot of work now in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) which includes insurance appraisal and arbitration of claims.  He said he laments the diminished trust and relationship between adjusters and contractors, who used to work together on repair projects from start to finish. “We very much feel like some of that is now being picked up through the appraisal process,” said Minor, whose firm does a majority of appraisals on behalf of insurance companies.  “The appraisal process is a place for reasonableness.  Fully outrageous demands are going to be washed away by the process.  A true umpire is going to be writing things in such a way that they can explain it to any person.”  What it comes down to, he said, is just being fair, looking at the damages, establishing their true value, and then backing it up with an understandable explanation.  “When an insured files a claim, they want to know three things.  That you saw me, that you know what my problem is, and you have a plan to fix it,” said Jason Evans, President of EIG Restoration of Texas and Florida.  The company provides emergency services, repair, and restoration contracting across the Southeast.  “Doing those three things absolutely can take out 40% of the claims that go into litigation,” he said.  EIG has developed an “Option to Repair” program for insurance companies that provides seamless service to policyholders, where the insurance company chooses the contractor to execute repairs. “Many do not want the option to repair and so we take it as a challenge really to wow them with customer service,” said Evans.  “And I say wow them, we just want to be very present and answer all their questions and no detail is left unturned in their repair.  So we do that by taking time and being very attention to detail and providing clear expectations of how the claims process is going to go.”  Evans said the option is in most insurance policies and exercised in Florida and other states.  “I think you'll get to see more and more of that in Florida and around the United States as time goes on,” he added.Both Evans and Minor also talked about the role that technology is playing in improved customer service and claim settlement.  Minor's team works with the Florida Coastal Monitoring Program in staging measurement equipment prior to a hurricane's landfall and afterward dispatches drones to the areas that had the highest winds.  “We document the worst conditions, identify what properties are obvious total losses early on, so that those people can get paid and get on down the road and get it off of our insurance company's books,” said Minor.  Evans' team uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to communicate with policyholders before and after the storm and receive real time updates from them to help quickly triage the response.  “Our intent is to get there within one day to that insured's house and look at it,” said Evans.  “Even if they have evacuated, we're going to go take pictures and provide those pictures to the customer and say ‘hey, your house looks pretty good' or ‘your house is really not in good shape, we've tarped it, we've got the debris out of here, and your claim has been filed,'” he said, adding that it's really a “concierge service, partnering with the insured.”“I think Jason's ahead of it, he's calling them first.  There's no reason this shouldn't be the model for every insurance company,” replied Minor, emphasizing that a more customer-oriented approach is a win-win.  “It's the method of applying old school values in a modern society.  If we can do that, then these armies of AOB roofing contractors and others that are going to triple the value of the claim so that they can somehow end up resolving it at a number that they're comfortable with, or that allows them to pay for their Rolls Royces and their sports cars will be diminished,” said Minor, who is also a certified contractor.   Doing so, Minor said, will also reduce the need for appraisals and alternative dispute resolution.  “I don't think that the contractor should be getting rich off of this job.  They should be making a good margin.  They shouldn't be having to say that a shingle roof is $1,000 a square so that they can end up at $550 or $450, that it's the actual value depending on your market.  And I think technology is absolutely the place to do it because everybody's got a cell phone camera and can help start the claim….before unscrupulous contractors, or on some occasions, public adjusters are going to be canvassing and knocking on doors and making a bunch of false promises,” Minor said. Host Miller also asked Minor and Evans how homeowners can be encouraged to invest in mitigation measures before the next storm hits to help make their homes more resilient.  Evans noted that “most homeowners unfortunately don't know what it takes to keep up a house” and that insurance companies could do a better job educating them in a collaborative way through home inspections.  Minor said underwriting is key.  “It's amazing to me that on some occasions, the experts that show up once it becomes an appraisal or a claim, all of a sudden can give me a list of things that are not sufficient or not correct, associated with that construction.  I don't know where that expert was the year before the storm came.”  Minor also discussed the success of the Rebuild Northwest Florida hazard grant mitigation program in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan in 2004. Both Minor and Evans agreed the insurance industry as a whole can improve claim service and reduce litigation by putting an even greater focus on customer service.  “I think we're in an exciting time,” said Evans.  “It's scary in Florida, we see that with the carriers.  But there's going to be a pivot, I think, to more customer service and more partnership with the clients and the insurance company.”Links and Resources Mentioned in this EpisodeComplete, Inc. EIG RestorationFlorida's 2019 AOB

Job One for the GOP after winning control of both the House and Senate this Fall is to impeach Joe Biden! We cannot afford to keep this President. I know, impeachment is horrible for us all, but it's imperative in this case. Why? We talk about that in detail today. The President illustrates this need for impeachment by telling us he's going to cancel $3 billion of student debt. NOT Congress through legislation. Joe Biden through an executive order!

Pottymouth survived both Red Sox at Yankee Stadium and the Dead at Citifield and tells us all about it. Game day descriptions include boyfriend highlights (fun to celebrate a Jeter homer at Yankee Stadium), and a little too much information theater. Matt Carpenter has found his swing, Whit Merrifield's consecutive game streak ends in a wimper, and rookie Adley Rutschman's pinch hit homer is the first since Trey. Will Soto make Pottymouth regret the City Connect jersey? Is $440million really not enough? We boldly predict Home Run Derby winners. So many draft-eligible players are children of professional ball players – nature or nurture?Eve Rosenbaum joins the Os front office, and Nelson Cruz gets the nod to manage the Dominican Republic's  World Baseball Classic team.

In this episode, I talk about the hottest trend in the labor market over the past six months - people quitting their jobs. The Great Resignation (as it is known in the U.S.) is a phenomenon that sees millions of people leaving their jobs every month. Not all of them leave because they've got better jobs lined up. A large percentage of those quitting are so sick of their jobs that, one fine day, they just QUIT! No other job to go to, and yet, they walk out the door with a sense of relief! What could be the reasons that are driving people to take such risks, opting for uncertainty over a lousy but certain career?

The latest lockdown-impacted unemployment figures are out ...but there are signs the worst is behind us. So it's back to work, but in a whole new way - we explore the strategies to handle that.

Everyone at some point has had to interview for a job. Do they all suck? Of course they do. Some of us have had to conduct interviews with prospective candidates. Which side of that coin sucks the worst? Aren't job interviews tedious? Don't expect any answers from us. Matt and Gerry ponder why this process is still such an awkward experience, and ultimately wonder why we should give any phuxx at all. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gerry-dempsey/support

Before we examine the blind spot, let's stare into the face of the truth for a moment: People don't bond with a company. People bond with a personality. Apple didn't wait until they were category-dominant to develop a personality. They had personality in 1984 when they aired their famous SuperBowl ad. They had personality in 1997 when cultural icons in black-and-white photos encouraged us to “Think Different.” They had personality in 2003 when they sold iPods using only dancing silhouettes. And they had personality in 2006 when Justin Long and John Hodgman said, “I'm a Mac,” “And I'm a PC.” Steve Jobs died in 2011. The blind spot in most B2B companies is that they think it isn't “corporate-ish” to have a personality. This is why B2B marketing is tedious, predictable, and boring.When amateur presenters are onstage, they look polished, professional, poised and plastic, don't they? Experienced presenters feel spontaneous, extemporaneous, unfiltered and unguarded. Anyone who says, “But B2B is different,” is an amateur presenter. B2B marketers know that people are required to use different criteria when making choices at work than the criteria they use when making choices at home. At work, they're not free to follow their instincts and “go with their gut.” I do not dispute this. B2B marketers know that when a business sells to a business, the buyer must gather information and make comparisons to defend their decision. I do not dispute this. But that doesn't mean your advertising has to be plastic, pretentious, and predictable. The purpose of a photograph, illustration, or video thumbnail is to get the customer to read the subject line, headline, or listen to the opening line. The purpose of the opening line is to entice the customer to read the first line of body copy. The job of the first line of body copy is to cause the reader to keep reading, the listener to keep listening, and the viewer to keep viewing. The details the buyer will need to defend their purchase are contained in the body copy.Please don't tell me you are required to use boring and predictable photographs, illustrations, and video thumbnails simply because your category is B2B. Please don't tell me you are required to write plastic and pretentious headlines, subject lines and opening lines simply because your category is B2B. The details the buyer will need to defend their purchase are contained in the body copy. Job One is to gain attention and win the heart. This requires personality. Job Two is to deliver the details so that your customer can defend their decision to purchase from you. Job Three is to deposit your profits before they pile so high that you need a tractor to shift them. Now please, for the sake of your future, go write some B2B headlines, subject lines, and opening lines that have some personality. And once you have selected a personality, stick with it. Because this will become the defining characteristic that distinguishes you from your competitors. I've been needing to get that off my chest for 25 years. Thanks for listening. Roy H. Williams

Gone Fishing With Hank Parker (Part 1) - Hank ParkerGone Fishing With Hank Parker (Part 2) - Hank ParkerGone Fishing With Hank Parker (Part 3) - Hank Parker FamilyLife Today® Radio Transcript  References to conferences, resources, or other special promotions may be obsolete. A Legacy of Faith Guest:                        Hank Parker                                      From the series:       Gone Fishing with Hank Parker (Day 2 of 3)              Bob: Hank Parker is an award-winning, world champion fisherman. In the process of chasing that dream, Hank looks back and realizes he neglected something even more important. Hank: I was not the husband that God called me to be and the result was total devastation. The Bible says you love your wife as Christ loved the church and died for it. It is not contingent—God tells the wife what to do, and God tells the husband what to do. So my behavior is not contingent on how well she does her job, and God showed me that clearly. Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Thursday, June 8th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. It is easy in the pursuit of our dreams to neglect what's really important in our lives. Hank Parker talks about that with us today. Stay tuned. 1:00 And welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us. I have been inspired this week. I think I can do it—I think I can become a world class bass fisherman. [Laughter] I mean— Dennis: Bob—  Bob: Yes? Dennis: Bob, I've seen you fish.  Bob: Well— Dennis: Bob, tell the audience what kind of fishing pole I gave you. Bob: We have been fishing together up on the—what was it? Dennis: The White River. Bob: It's in Arkansas. They're—what are the fish called? They're trout? Dennis: That's what they are called. They have fins.  Bob: Right Dennis: They live in water. Bob: Right. Dennis: That is correct. Bob: And there was a nice man in the boat who took those fish off that hook for me—I appreciated him a lot! Dennis: But tell them about the pole I gave you. It was a kiddie pole— Bob: It was a Zebco®. Dennis: —a little pink kiddie pole, that was about two feet long and— Bob: We're going to post on our website, at FamilyLifeToday.com, a picture of the fish I caught with that big fishing pole— Dennis: I was—that was where I was going. Bob: —because I caught a pretty good-sized fish. Dennis: I wanted to tell— 2:00 Bob: It was the big fish of the day. Dennis: It was the big fish of the trip! I got to introduce Hank Parker. Welcome back to Bob Lepine's Outdoor Program. [Laughter] Hank: The big-fish man caught it on a kid's rod and reel, and it was two feet long!I've never done that—that's pretty special. [Laughter] Dennis: Hank is a world champion bass fisherman. He has a TV program called Hank Parker's Outdoors—also has a hunting program with your sons. Share with our listeners about that broadcast. Hank: Okay. My fishing show is Hank Parker's Outdoor Magazine, been running for 34 years. Then, for 10 years now, I've been doing a show with my two older sons called Hank Parker's Flesh and Blood. It's a hunting show over on the Outdoor Channel. We've had a lot of fun with that. Bob: So, I can look at myself in the mirror and know that I can't make it in the NBA—[Laughter]—okay? I'm not tall enough / I can't jump that high. I can look at myself in the mirror and know the NFL is out for me. Can anybody be a world class fisherman? 3:00 Hank: Absolutely! And that is what is so cool about our sport. I was talking earlier with some folks about the growth of high school fishing. These kids that are not athletic / these kids that don't necessarily qualify for any type of team sport—the water is level. Whether you're a little girl, a little boy, whether you're tall—it doesn't make any difference. You know, the water's level; and fish are not partial to anybody—they're non-discriminate. Bob: Well, the guy that we went fishing with that day, who was in the boat—who took the fish off the hook for me? [Laughter] I saw what Dennis paid him at the end of the day. He's making a good living doing that. He's doing alright; you know? Dennis: There are a lot of days when you don't go to work though, Bob. Bob: Okay! Dennis: Alright. I want you to talk to our listeners—we've got other stories that I want you to tell—but I just—for a moment, talk to moms and dads about doing something like fishing or hunting with your son / with your daughter; because it really is a great way— 4:00 Bob is kind of kidding about this—but it really is a great way to bond and build relationships with your kids. Hank: I have the opportunity—when I do fishing seminars, people will ask questions from time to time. I take every opportunity that I can to spread the word that fishing will break down a lot of barriers. In my life, it was everything. But almost every kid that you will ever see catch a fish—whether they are 2 years old or 80 years old / old kids— everybody catches a fish smiles / it's fun. But you know, we all are guilty—I'm guilty of driving the kids to school—the bell is going to ring at 8:15, and we've got to hurry and hurry. You kind of force feed a conversation when the mood's wrong. Man, you can take your kid out on a riverbank—or in the boat and sit on the pond—just let him or her just open up. Let the conversation flow.  5:00 The quality of the conversation you can have in the right atmosphere breaks so many barriers that we try to force on our kids. Communicating is not just talking. To be able to really reach your children, you've got to work to create an environment. Fishing will help you do that. I promise you—it will help you get that. Bob: Have you thought about why that is? What is it about fishing that causes people to just to relax and have conversations that they might not otherwise have? Hank: I just think it calms your nerves. It is very soothing / it is no pressure—you don't have to make a hoop / you don't have to be physically gifted to get it done. Man, you just throw a bobber out there.  Fishing can be really sophisticated and complicated—a lot of electronic equipment we use and some of the stuff in techniques and methods. But that's really not what fishing is all about. That's just a specialized technique for a very limited number of the people that participate in the sport.  6:00 Fishing is about families / fishing is about good times. Fishing is about sharing—fishing is about being with someone / interacting—you want to be with. And that's really what fishing is all about—to take your kid and be able to put your arm around him or her—just breaks those barriers. They're under no pressure.  You know, our kids today—the academic demands are so hard on them. If you don't fit in to play team sports you get made fun of. So they're under pressure—they're constantly being critiqued because they can't do this. I know how that feels. All of a sudden, you put them in an environment where there is none of that—no pressure at all. Here we are, just having a good time. I think it just breaks down those barriers that allow them to open up. Boy, if you can ever get them to open up, then you can really start to communicate. 7:00 Dennis: One of my favorite moments, here, on FamilyLifeToday—Bob will know when it was before I finish saying the name—but it was a tribute given by RV Brown. R V Brown gave his father, who was—lived to be in his nineties,  I think—didn't he, Bob? Bob: Yes. Dennis: And R V was one of 18 kids? Bob: Right. Dennis: He gave his dad a tribute. You know what he reflected on as he spoke to his dad in that tribute? Hank: No. Dennis: He said, “You took me fishing,”—Willy Fish? Bob: He called his dad Willy Fish Brown. Hank: How ‘bout that!  Bob: Yes! Dennis: Did you go fishing with your dad? Hank: I did! Early on, before my dad got so consumed, we fished. It was so special—it was incredible. If I can, I'll tell a really quick story. I've had all these goals in my life. I was the first angler to ever win the Bassmaster Classic and the B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year—I was the first guy to ever win the Grand Slam. I've had some pretty good achievements.  8:00  A lot of times, people ask me a question about: “What is your greatest moment in the outdoors?” The greatest moment for me in the outdoors—my youngest son, Timmy, who loves the turkey hunt. I'm a big-time turkey hunter; so I've got all these rules: “We do not talk in the turkey woods. You can break a limb and maybe you're an animal; but if you talk, you are a dead give-away.”  We were sitting on the riverbank on the Broad River in South Carolina. This big gobbler was gobbling. Every time a bird—if you are not familiar with turkey hunting—in the morning, when they wake up, in the spring of the year, they gobble. He's up in the tree and he's gobbling. Every breath / every little tweety bird that makes a sound—he is trying to out-gobble. Timmy pulls up on my shirt—he just tugs my shirt. God had painted one of those incredible sunrises, and there was steam coming off the water. He was so overwhelmed with that—he had to tell me. He pulled on my shirt. I looked down; and he said, “Daddy, I love you.”   9:00 I was about to cry and the turkey was. It was just so special. But his little heart was so full of gratitude and just overwhelmed with being in that environment. That was my greatest moment in the outdoors Dennis: When you do go fishing or hunting with your kids—well, it requires that you be all there. There is no competition with a screen or with the phone. It's just a relationship between a father and a son, or father and a daughter, or for that matter, a mother and her son. Bob: Now wait, are you telling me you have to leave your phone in the car?—or you can't take it into the woods? Dennis: I promise you, you wouldn't go turkey hunting with Hank Parker if you brought your cell phone on you. Bob: I was thinking about the similarities between the two of you, because you're both turkey hunters. I think one of the differences is you've actually shot a turkey; haven't you, Hank? [Laughter] Hank: Self defense. Bob: Because, Dennis goes out every year; and every year, the turkeys have been safe. [Laughter] Have you ever shot a turkey? Dennis: I have, Bob. But in recent years, they've not been in danger. [Laughter] No; there's no doubt about it.  10:00 You've had quite a career—winning all these accolades / inducted into the Bass Fishing Hall of Fame and so many things that have come your way. You indicated that there was a bit of a drift in your life—even after you came to faith in Christ—that began to change at some point. Would you kind of bring us up to date on what took place in those years that led you up to that? And then, how did that change occur? Hank: There was a tremendous revival when my dad got saved. Then, I got saved; and I became very legalistic. I went through the motions and I did what I felt was expected of me. I worked bus routes to go seek kids to bring them to Sunday school, out of duty, not out of my heart. I was pretty tough on my family. I was so legalistic, at some points in time, in my life—I was just bogged down in it.  11:00 I was married to a wonderful lady, and we had five children. I had gone to California on a little fishing trip; and I met her in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where we were buying a house. She tells me she wanted a divorce. It rocked my world beyond—I didn't see it coming—should have. I was a part-time husband, at best. I, of course, blamed it all on her. It was completely her fault, in my mind; until one day, when I was shaving, God said: “Look in the mirror, and you'll see whose fault it is.” Dennis: Had you let career so dominate your life? I mean, because—to be really good at something, whether it's basketball, golf, or fishing—you've got to be all there / to be focused. Hank: I didn't even know—to be totally honest, I did not know how consumed I was with competitive bass fishing—I had no idea.  I promised my kids—my kids were growing up—and their mom was an awesome mom. She was just great to those kids, and she worked hard at it.  12:00 But those kids had gotten to be 12 years old / 10 years old. They wanted to go race golf carts and go-carts, and they wanted to go climb trees, and deer hunt and squirrel hunt—do things that moms are not normally willing to do. Some moms are good at that, but their mom—that didn't interest her—so they needed their dad. So I promised them—I said, “If I ever win the World Championship again, I'll retire”; and I did.  In 1989, I won the World Championship the second time; and I retired. I was 36 years old. But it wasn't until I retired that I realized how consumed I was. My every waking thought was about the next lake / my next strategies—what I am going to do. All of a sudden, the thing that hit me the hardest when I retired is: “Man, my mind's cleared; because I'm not thinking about the next tournament.”  It wasn't until then that I realized how consumed I was; but as far as my marriage was concerned, it was pretty much too late.  13:00 I came home to try to fix things—in which I didn't know there was a problem in the marriage—I knew there was a problem in my parenting / that I wasn't there enough. My kids would stand at the door every time I'd leave and cry. You know: “I've got to quit doing this.” So, when I retired, I did realize how consumed I was with the sport. Dennis: Would people in your church, where you attended, would they have said: “Yes; Hank and his wife are doing fine. He's very successful.” Hank: Absolutely! No one in the entire world would have thought—my children didn't see anything—no one knew anything. My wife had just grown so frustrated with my being gone constantly and had no confidence that I would ever change. She had just resolved in her heart that I would never be there for her—so she was moving on. She had got to that point and wasn't any changing her mind. For four years, we tried—for four years, we tried. 14:00 Dennis: —tried to push back against divorce.  Hank: Tried to fight it. But I look back—you know, I would blame her in my heart, but God showed me clearly it wasn't her—it was me. Had my priorities—you know, people—I hear it all the time—when the Bible says you love your wife as Christ loved the church and died for it; and then wives submit to your husbands. It's not contingent—God told the wife what to do, and God tells the husband what to do. My behavior is not contingent on how well she does her job. God showed me that clearly. So I can't blame anything on her. I have to take the blame, because I was not the husband that God called me to be; and the result was total devastation. Bob: I want to ask you a really hard question: “If I could take you back ten years before your wife said, ‘I want a divorce,' and I could put a path in front of you, and I could say: ‘This one leads to bass championships and world recognition—the Hall of Fame.  15:00 “'This one—you'll make a living for your family, doing what you enjoy doing. You won't get the endorsements / you won't be in the Hall of Fame, but you'll live it out and things will stay intact.'” Could you pick? Hank: I could pick in a heartbeat. There's no doubt I would have chose to take the job to make a living and keep my family intact—no doubt. Dennis: It was devastating to you. Hank: You know, I don't tell this very often—I don't know that I've ever really told it—but I walked away / I didn't take anything. I didn't take part of the home—I walked away—I didn't have a place to live. I lived with my son in an apartment for a year, because I wasn't capable of making payments. I left everything. I had about two million dollars worth of debt—that's all I left with—I didn't have anything.  But I wasn't able—people: “Why didn't you fight for what your fair share was?” I wasn't able to fight—I was devastated / I didn't want to live.  16:00 I had gotten to the point where the papers—when I got those papers, I cannot tell you what that did to me. But they're on my desk—and the first time in my whole life I was afraid of my own self. I wasn't thinking clear. I went to shut the door of my office. I have a trophy shelf there with all my trophies. I looked down at the bottom, and I saw all my kids in a picture. I fell on my face in my office and I said: “God, You've got to give me something I don't have. I'm at the lowest point I've ever been of my life.”  Now, through this whole four years of fighting and trying to save my marriage, I was so angry with God. I didn't pray—so I'm the Prodigal Son now—I've been gone / I've been in the hog pen. I fell down on that floor and the Father came. The Holy Spirit put His arm around me and said: “I'm here. I've been waiting on you.” It was a revelation that I had never experienced before or since.  17:00 God loved on me and gave me something inside, and this suicidal idea that I had left me. I don't say I didn't ever have struggles after that; but I never, ever got to that low, low point ever again.  I realized how much He loved me and all those legalistic years were now behind me. I served God because I thought this is what I needed to do for a lot of years. But the last 16 years, I have served Him out of pure love. I realize how much God loves me and that it all changed in just a second. Bob: Hank, if there's a guy listening and he's thinking: “If we can just gut this out for five years / if I can just stay focused on the business and get this thing, I can be at the top of the game. And then I'll turn back around; and we can have it all, as a family”—what would you say to him? 18:00 Hank: “It doesn't work!” This is what I did wrong, and I know this. My wife did not know how much I loved her—I never conveyed—I never put my arms around her and said: “Baby, let's work this together. Here's my schedule; is this okay? Can we do this? I love you. I want to make this for you.”  I never did those things—“I'm the big tough guy / I'm the world champ—I'm the man. You're going to do it my way.” You can't say: “I'm going go off and fish these next five years and, then, I'm going to come home and fix it,”—I thought that—it didn't work. Dennis: And what did work—was finally emptying yourself. It's the only way a marriage can work—is with a husband and a wife who decide to surrender to Jesus Christ and to what He has for them to do. And there are some duties we have to do that mean we can't outrun our wives and our children at home to accomplish something out in the world.  19:00 Early in our ministry, I had to decide: “Was I going to outrun my wife, Barbara?” I don't know, Hank, why I could see something at that point that you couldn't see in bass fishing; because I could have made the very same decision, because the ministry can be intoxicating—people telling you how you've encouraged them / you've ministered to them. But something spoke to me and said: “If you attempt to go do those things, and leave your wife and your children in the dust, it's not going to be good—the outcome was going to be bad.” I've made a lot of wrong decisions in my marriage / in raising our family. But in that one situation, I saw clearly that: “If you are going to make whatever it is an idol, in place of Jesus Christ—not surrendered to Him—and take care of Job One, which begins at home, you're headed for big time trouble.” 20:00 Hank: You know, I think, with me, I never really thought about anything. I just went at it so hard that I did not stop and think about the partnership of marriage. I didn't ever think I was doing anything wrong. I thought: “Man, I'm being a great provider—I'm giving them all these things.” I never really felt that I was doing anything wrong.  That's part of my problem—was not reading the Bible / staying in the Bible and allowing God to talk to me. You know: “I'm going to help God. I'm going to show Him how I can do things,”—it did not work for me. I'm not an authority, but I can just tell you—in my life, I messed it up because it was about me. Had I been in the Scriptures and had I been getting daily lessons—and treated my marriage as a partnership, where I die to self and take half of her and she half of me—we wouldn't have a divorce.  21:00 I want to tell you—I would rather die than I had to go through a divorce. It was the most devastating, painful failure that I'd ever been through in my life. Dennis: So to that person, who is listening right now, who is maybe on the precipice of jumping, you'd say, “Don't do it!” Hank: Absolutely! “Do not do it! At all costs / at all costs, save your marriage.” Bob: If we can help, that's what we're here for. Our goal, here, at FamilyLife is to provide help and hope for marriages and families. I'm thinking, Dennis, of our Weekend to Remember ® getaways—and the couples who have come, who have lost hope; but who hear a message at the Weekend to Remember  that God uses to turn their marriage around. It doesn't always happen—there are some couples who come and the breakthrough doesn't happen.  22:00 But for a lot of couples, the Weekend to Remember getaway is the turning point for a marriage that has been headed in the wrong direction for a long time. They get rerouted and they find themselves in a new place on a new path. They have a fresh hope for their marriage.  I just encourage our listeners—if you've not attended a Weekend to Remember marriage getaway, go to our website at FamilyLifeToday.com to get more information. We still have a handful of these getaways happening this summer. Tomorrow in Texas—in Austin and in Houston—we've got getaways kicking off; and then continuing through the summer—in Arizona / Las Vegas—other getaways taking place. You can find out more about the Weekend to Remember, online, at FamilyLifeToday.com; or you can call if you have any questions at 1-800-358-6329—that's 1-800-“F” as in family, “L” as in life, and the word, “TODAY.” 23:00 And if for some reason you can't get to a getaway, and you're in a desperate spot in your marriage, give us a call. We can recommend resources—we can recommend articles you can read / programs you can listen to—things that will hopefully give you a fresh perspective on God's design for your marriage and how it can, not just survive, but how it can actually thrive. And by the way, we should say, “Thank you,” to the listeners who support this ministry, financially; because you guys are a big part of all that God is doing through the ministry of FamilyLife.

THE BIG IDEA: Unity empowers us and division destroys us.Psalm 133:1-3 • Unity is JOB ONE for followers of JesusProverbs 6:16-19 • Unity is like God's ANOINTINGExodus 30:22-33 • It makes us HOLY• It gives us HEALING• Unity is the WATER that gives LIFE in every season• Unity is our most powerful WITNESSJohn 13:35.• It is not our job to be right - it's our job to make the RELATIONSHIP right.

As followers of Christ we must be mindful of our responsibility to be a godly example in our culture. This starts with understanding how to pursue godliness. The passage, 1 Timothy 4: 7-16, identifies seven distinct principles to help us reach this goal.“Where Qualities are Job One”1. Have nothing to do with ungodliness (v. 6) 2. Godliness requires training (v. 7b)3. Command and teach these things (v. 11) 4. Identify and overcome your weakness (v. 12a)5. Display your godliness (v. 12b)6. Specialize (v. 14)7.
