The Value of Everyday Examples This episode explores how people around us can influence our mindset, habits, and daily rhythm without ever saying a word. I share stories of neighbors who inspire healthy living, family members who modeled kindness and consistency, and dear friends who offer ongoing support. These examples are everywhere—we just need to notice them. Sometimes, our biggest accomplishments come on the days we least expect it. A spontaneous moment of productivity or reflection can be more meaningful than a tightly packed schedule. It's a gentle reminder that we can live well and move forward without comparing ourselves or rushing to meet someone else's standard. Key Points from Today's Episode How observing others can help us improve without comparison Why spontaneous days can often be the most productive How to create habits using cues like time, place, and emotion The danger of letting performance-based self-worth add to your stress Using “habit stacking” to build new, sustainable routines Recognizing your emotional triggers and boundaries The importance of setting gentle, realistic goals Final Thoughts Everyday life gives us more teachers than we realize. Whether it's a neighbor's discipline, a parent's patience, or your own quiet victory, these small moments help shape us. And remember, your own example might be helping someone else right now.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat happens when a nation faces an existential threat and decides to act alone? The 2007 Israeli strike on Syria's nuclear reactor provides a powerful case study in preemptive action and strategic courage.When Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert received intelligence about a Syrian nuclear reactor being built with North Korean assistance near the Euphrates River, he faced a momentous decision. Despite U.S. President George W. Bush's hesitation following intelligence failures in Iraq, Olmert ordered Operation Soft Melody (also called Operation Orchid) to neutralize the threat. The elite Shaldog unit (Unit 5101) infiltrated the area to laser-designate targets, enabling a precision strike that completely destroyed the Al-Kabar facility before it became operational.Fast forward to today, and Iran's dispersed nuclear infrastructure presents a far more complex challenge than the single-facility targets in Syria and Iraq. With sites buried deep underground in multiple locations, many analysts believe only American bunker-buster bombs can effectively neutralize the threat. But Israel has repeatedly demonstrated innovative capabilities that surpass expectations. As tensions escalate, we're left wondering: will Israel again find a way to act when diplomacy fails? The shadow war continues, with the security of millions hanging in the balance.our book of the day is "Shadow Strike:   Inside Israel's Secret Mission to Eliminate Syrian Nuclear Power"Key Points from the Episode:• Iranian-controlled drone carrying explosives into Israel in 2018 showed Iran's willingness for direct confrontation• Operation Soft Melody destroyed Syria's Al-Kabar nuclear reactor in 2007, which was built with North Korean assistance• Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered the strike despite U.S. President George W. Bush preferring diplomacy• Elite Israeli unit Shaldog (Unit 5101) likely laser-designated the Syrian target for precision airstrikes• Iran presents a more complex challenge with multiple fortified nuclear sites scattered throughout the country• The Begin Doctrine states Israel will not allow nuclear threats capable of reaching its homeland to existKeep fighting the good fight and pray for Israeli success to eliminate the evil in our time.Other resources: Israel's Sept 11thLM#38--Israel's 9-11, part 1LM#39--Israel's 9-11, part 2--Don't look awayLM#54--Black Saturday, October 7th -- One Year LaterWant to leave a review?

In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, hosts Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman interview Patrick McGee, a former Financial Times reporter and author of Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company. The discussion delves into McGee's book, which explores Apple's transformative relationship with China, its massive investments, and the unintended consequences for global tech and geopolitics. The interview covers McGee's research process, Apple's control over its narrative, the scale of its investments in China, and the broader implications for manufacturing, workforce development and U.S.-China relations. Timeline Just give me the main bullet points, without the Key Points and Key Points McGee's Background (00:29–02:08): McGee's Financial Times reporting in Hong Kong, Germany, and on Apple shaped Apple in China, focusing on China's authoritarianism, supply chains, and Apple's operations. Research Process (02:08–05:00): Over 200 interviews and 1,000+ pages of unreported Apple documents reveal novel insights into manufacturing, bypassing Apple's product-focused narrative. Apple's Narrative Control (05:00–08:31): Apple steers media toward product features, obscuring key figures like Isabel Gamahi and critical China operations. Apple's Investment (2013–2016) (08:31–15:16): Beijing's 2013 media attacks led to a $55 billion annual investment by 2015, with Cook's $275 billion pledge in 2016, likened to double the Marshall Plan. China's Workforce (Pre-2016) (15:16–17:08): Apple trained 28 million workers, enabling competitors like Huawei, with China realizing this impact in 2016. Apple vs. Other Tech (Pre-2016) (17:08–20:11): As a hardware company, Apple followed other electronics firms to China, unlike content-focused Google, Amazon, and Facebook. U.S. Oversight (2016–Present) (20:11–24:32): U.S. was unaware of Apple's investments; Apple's training model could inspire U.S. vocational revival. Automation Challenges (Present) (24:32–30:06): China's dominance in materials and robotics makes U.S. onshoring unlikely; tariffs disrupt without solutions. Vocational Training (Present) (30:06–33:58): Apple's China training, akin to Germany's system, empowered Chinese firms; U.S. could adopt similar models. Geopolitical Outlook (Present–2025) (33:58–39:02): India's role is limited; China's manufacturing dominance persists, with Apple's AI lag adding risk. EVs and China's Lead (2019–Present) (39:02–42:46): Tesla's 2019 operations boosted China's EV dominance; West struggles with battery supply chain control. Book Promotion (42:46–43:37): Apple in China available on Amazon, Bookshop.org, Apple Books; appleinchina.com offers more details.

Show SummaryYou got the title. Now what?You're no longer the one making the work. You're leading the people who do. And suddenly… Everything that made you successful stops being useful.No one teaches you how to lead a creative team. There's no playbook for designing trust.

One of humanity's most persistent theological questions is thoroughly examined in this episode of Marked by Grace. Pastor Heath Lambert tackles the challenging problem of evil and God's goodness, providing three classical Christian responses that have guided believers through centuries of doubt and difficulty. Whether you're wrestling with personal suffering or trying to understand God's character in a broken world, this episode offers biblical clarity on why God can remain perfectly good while allowing evil to exist.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Persistent Question of Evil and God's Goodness1:08 - The Specific Question: Why Doesn't God Intervene Like We Should?2:08 - Granting the Premise: When Human Inaction Becomes Sin3:21 - God's Perfect Nature: Light with No Darkness4:08 - Response 1: Primary vs Secondary Causes Explained5:24 - Genesis 50:20 - Joseph's Brothers and God's Sovereignty7:27 - The Shakespeare and Hamlet Analogy8:34 - Response 2: All Evil as Judgment Against Human Sinfulness10:27 - Luke 13:5 - Jesus on the Tower of Siloam11:04 - Response 3: The Greater Good - God's Ultimate Plan12:10 - Romans 8:28 - All Things Work Together for Good13:19 - The Cross: Ultimate Example of Good from Evil14:16 - Eternal Perspective: Praising God for His Redemptive PowerKEY POINTS- The Question Explored: If humans are morally obligated to intervene when witnessing evil acts like assault or abuse, how can God witness atrocities daily without intervening and still be considered good and just?- Primary vs Secondary Causes: God operates as the sovereign primary cause behind all events, while humans act as secondary causes. Evil is always chargeable to secondary causes (human sin) never to the primary cause (God). This distinction explains how the same event can have both a sinful human motivation and a righteous divine purpose.- Universal Human Sinfulness: All people live in a fallen world where we deserve judgment, not blessing. The real theological question isn't "Why do bad things happen?" but rather "Why do any good things happen to sinners like us?" Every person deserves divine judgment due to their rebellion against God.- The Greater Good Principle: God's omnipotent righteousness enables Him to bring ultimate good out of every evil situation. This doesn't make evil good, but demonstrates God's power to redeem and transform even the worst circumstances for His glory and our benefit.- The Cross as Ultimate Example: Jesus Christ's crucifixion represents the worst act of victimization in human history, yet God transformed this ultimate evil into the means of salvation for countless people. This demonstrates how God can use even the most horrific events to accomplish his perfect purposes.- Eternal Perspective: In eternity, believers will praise God not despite the suffering that occurred, but because of how He used that suffering to accomplish His glorious redemptive plan. The eternal weight of glory will far exceed any temporary affliction.Submit your questions for future episodes to MarkedByGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES1 John 1:5 - "God is light and in him is no darkness at all" - Establishes God's perfect, sinless natureGenesis 50:20 - "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today" - Primary example of primary vs secondary causesLuke 13:5 - Jesus' warning about the tower of Siloam - All people deserve judgment without repentanceRomans 8:28 - "We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose" - The greater good principle2 Corinthians 4:17 - "This light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison" - Eternal perspective on suffering

June 16, 2025: Corina Clark, COO at Gardner Health Services and one of Becker's "COOs to Know," discusses her transformative journey as a leader in communal, equitable healthcare. Drawing from influential mentors who shaped her leadership philosophy, Corina discusses how equity must serve as "the lens through which we look at clinical decision-making" rather than just a checkbox exercise. She offers practical strategies for balancing operational excellence with personal sustainability, including implementing scheduled "no meeting zones" and leading impromptu zumba classes that reconnect her team to their core purpose. Corina's forward-thinking vision for community health aims to transcend traditional care models, reimagining spaces where prevention, wellness, and trust-building form the foundation of truly patient-centered care.

What happens when America's hospitals reach dangerous occupancy thresholds that could make them unable to function properly? And as workplace violence against healthcare workers spikes, what combination of technology and process can effectively protect staff? The conversation delves into the tension between technology capabilities and practical healthcare applications, questioning whether approaches to new innovations like AI are simply recycling the same discussions we've had about cloud and IoT in previous years.

What if sharing your faith wasn't about pressure, performance, or having all the right answers—but simply living from who you are in Christ? In this message from Acts 17, Pastor Curtis unpacks how Paul shared the gospel in a deeply secular culture, not from obligation but from conviction and identity. Whether you're at work, the gym, or a coffee shop, you don't need a bigger platform—you need a clearer understanding of who you are. This message will challenge and encourage you to live out your faith naturally in the everyday spaces you already occupy.✨ Key Points:1. Your Story Begins with God's Love2. Evangelism Can Feel Uncomfortable3. Evangelism Isn't About Technique4. Evangelism Begins Where You Are5. God Can Expand Your Platform6. Build Bridges Before Sharing the MessageReflection Questions:How does your story reflect the love of God?What makes evangelism feel intimidating or awkward for you?Where are your current "synagogues" and "public squares"?Have you ever missed opportunities to share Jesus because you were looking for a “bigger” moment or platform?Are you focusing more on “what to say” than “who you're saying it to”?What “unknown gods” exist in the culture around you that people turn to for hope?How can you make evangelism a natural part of your life instead of a scheduled event?

. Best workouts to improve at the marathon distanceWhether you're a seasoned runner or just starting your marathon journey, these workouts will enhance your endurance, speed, and overall race strategy. First up, the cornerstone of marathon training: the long run. This workout is crucial for building endurance and mimicking race day conditions.Tips for Effective Long Runs:Frequency: Aim for one long run per week, gradually increasing the distance. Start with distances you're comfortable with and add about 10% each week.Pacing: Keep the pace comfortable—around 30 to 90 seconds slower than your goal marathon pace.Nutrition: Experiment with fueling strategies during your long runs to find out what works for you.Next, we have tempo runs, an essential workout for improving your lactate threshold, which is critical for longer races like the marathon.How to Execute a Tempo Run:Warm-Up: Start with a 10-15 minute easy jog to get your legs warmed up.Tempo Pace: Then, increase to a challenging pace that you can maintain for 20-40 minutes—usually around 10-20 seconds per mile slower than your 10K pace.Cooldown: Finish with a 10-15 minute easy jog to cool down.Now, let's talk about interval training, which is fantastic for building speed and adding variety to your workouts.Recommended Interval Workout:Warm-Up: Begin with a gentle jog for 10-15 minutes.Intervals: Choose a distance around 400m or 800m. Run the interval at a pace you could hold for a 5K, and then rest for an equal amount of time.Reps: Aim for 4 to 8 repeats based on your fitness level.Cooldown: Finish with a light jog or walk for about 10 minutes.Interval training not only improves your speed but also builds mental toughness. While it might seem counterintuitive, recovery runs are just as vital for improving at the marathon distance. These are slower-paced runs aimed at helping you recover while still logging miles.Key Points for Recovery Runs:Pacing: Keep them at a conversational pace, generally 1-2 minutes slower than your marathon pace.Duration: These runs can range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your weekly mileage and how you feel.If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share! Join us next week when we discuss nutrition strategies to fuel your marathon training. Happy running, and remember, every mile counts!

Ever wondered about the visible signs of God's covenants? This episode explores one of the most profound questions in biblical theology: What is the visible representation of God's covenant with King David?Pastor Heath Lambert dives deep into covenant theology, explaining how God uses visible signs to represent invisible relationships. Discover why Jesus sitting on His heavenly throne is the ultimate fulfillment and visible sign of the Davidic covenant, and what this means for believers today.KEY TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The visible sign of the Davidic Covenant1:04 - What is a covenant? Biblical relationships explained1:46 - Why covenants have visible signs2:40 - Examples of covenant signs: Rainbow (Noah), Circumcision (Abraham)3:46 - Sabbath as sign of the Old Covenant at Sinai4:46 - New Covenant signs: Baptism and Lord's Supper5:29 - The Davidic Covenant explained (2 Samuel 7:12-13)6:41 - Jesus as fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant7:52 - Two ways to fulfill an eternal covenant8:24 - The visible sign revealed: Jesus on His throne9:00 - Why you don't have to see it for it to be "visible"10:03 - Eternal perspective: We will see Him reignKEY POINTS- Covenants Are Biblical Relationships: God uses covenants as the organizing structure for His relationship with humanity and the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation.- Visible Signs Make Invisible Relationships Real: Since we can't see spiritual relationships, God provides tangible signs we can observe - rainbows, circumcision, Sabbath, baptism, and communion.- The Davidic Covenant Promises an Eternal King: God promised David that someone from his family line would sit on the throne forever (2 Samuel 7:12-13).- Jesus Fulfills the Covenant Perfectly: Rather than an endless succession of mortal kings, Jesus - as David's descendant - reigns eternally, never needing replacement.- Christ's Heavenly Throne is the Visible Sign: Jesus currently sits at the right hand of God's majesty in heaven, fulfilling the Davidic covenant as the eternal King.- "Visible" Doesn't Mean Everyone Sees It: Just as circumcision or baptism aren't seen by everyone but are still "visible signs," Christ's throne is visible to those in heaven, making it a legitimate covenant sign.Submit your questions for future episodes to MarkedByGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES2 Samuel 7:12-13 - "When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."Hebrews 1:3 - "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high."

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageHave you ever wondered why all that positive visualization hasn't transformed your life? Despite your vivid daydreams of success, you find yourself still sitting on the couch, no closer to your goals? Motivation science has the answer, and it's not what you might expect.This eye-opening episode dives deep into Gabrielle Oettingen's revolutionary research on motivation as explored in her 2014 book "Rethinking Positive Thinking." We uncover the counterintuitive truth that simply dreaming about your desired future can actually make you less likely to achieve it. When we engage in pleasant fantasies about our goals, our brains experience a false sense of fulfillment that drains our motivation to tackle real-world challenges. As Oettingen explains, "By fooling our brains into thinking we're already successful, we lose motivation and energy to do what it actually takes to become successful."But don't despair! We explore Oettingen's powerful alternative technique called "mental contrasting" - a method that transforms wishful thinking into actionable energy. Rather than abandoning your dreams, mental contrasting teaches you to pair your positive vision with a clear-eyed assessment of the obstacles in your path. This balanced approach has been scientifically proven to significantly increase motivation across numerous domains, from weight loss to academic performance to business negotiations. Through mental contrasting, you can become both a dreamer AND a doer - someone who not only imagines a better future but takes concrete steps to create it.Ready to stop daydreaming and start achieving?

This podcast came about after being hit over the head with a fantastic meme from the Buddhist Facebook page. How does this quote resonate with you? Key Points in this Podcast 1. Practice Conscious Language Action: Pay close attention to the words you use when talking to yourself and others. Replace negative self-talk like “I'm tired” or “I'm depressed” with more empowering alternatives such as “I'm recharging” or “I'm working through challenges.” 2. Speak Gratitude Daily Action: Begin and end each day by saying out loud at least three things you're grateful for. This simple ritual rewires the brain for positivity and appreciation. 3. Affirm Positive Identity Action: Use daily affirmations that align with your goals and well-being (e.g., “I am thriving,” “I am strong,” “I am full of purpose”). Speak them with belief and emotion to shape your mindset. 4. Interrupt Negative Thought Loops Action: When you catch yourself speaking or thinking in a way that drains your energy, pause and reframe it immediately. For example, change “I can't do this” to “I'm learning how to do this.” 5. Influence Others with Uplifting Words Action: Make it a habit to uplift others with your speech. Positive words not only shape your own reality—they ripple out and influence the energy of those around you.

Join Fr. Jonathan Meyer on our second-to-last day of prayer as we draw near the great feast of Pentecost. In this Rise Up reflection, Fr. Meyer asks, “Where do you go to rest?” He points us to the Gospel image of John, the “beloved disciple,” leaning his head on Jesus' chest—and shares the story of young Francesco of Fatima, who spent entire days resting at the tabernacle. In a hectic world, we're invited to slow down, find a chapel (or a quiet corner at home), and experience the peace that only Christ can give.

Join Fr. Jonathan Meyer for today's Rise Up reflection as we journey toward Pentecost. In this video, Fr. Meyer unpacks John 21—where Jesus asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?”—and shows how Peter's willing “Yes” leads him to lay down his life for Christ. As we approach the coming of the Holy Spirit, Fr. Meyer challenges us: Are you willing to die to self, take up your cross daily, and serve God in the ordinary moments of life?

June 5, 2025: Bill Russell sits down with Erica Olenski, VP at Finn Partners and Founder of August's Artists, Ironman athlete, and board-certified patient advocate, who brings a unique perspective from navigating the healthcare system through hundreds of overnight hospital stays with her son August, a four-time brain cancer survivor. Why does a family with an extensive hospital history still get treated like first-time visitors at check-in, and how might HIPAA compliance be unintentionally creating barriers to human connection in care? The conversation explores whether patients should control their complete medical records to share with AI assistants, the reality of managing a 60,000-page medical record delivered on CD-ROM, and practical solutions like reimagining emergency department processes for complex care families.  Key Points: 02:02 Erica's Son's Health Journey 09:08 The Role of Patient Advocates 13:41 Using AI as a Patient 21:54 August Artists: A Nonprofit Initiative 27:43 Rapid Fire Questions and Closing Remarks X: This Week Health LinkedIn: This Week Health Donate: Alex's Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Learn why silent prayer and radical availability are essential if we truly want Christ's love—and the Holy Spirit—to dwell within us.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageEver find yourself stuck in the cycle of trying to make massive life changes overnight, only to fail and feel frustrated? You're not alone. Today's episode explores a powerful alternative approach to personal transformation that's been hiding in plain sight for centuries.We begin with the remarkable story of Harriet, a 176-year-old tortoise collected by Charles Darwin himself, whose species adapted gradually over millions of years to thrive in specific environments. This natural example of incremental change serves as our gateway to understanding how real, lasting transformation works in human lives.Drawing wisdom from both Eastern and Western traditions, we dive into the Japanese concept of "kaizen"—the philosophy of continuous improvement through small, consistent changes. We examine how this approach aligns perfectly with insights from modern personal development experts like Darren Hardy and Jeff Olson, who emphasize that success comes not through dramatic gestures but through "mundane, unsexy, unexcited, sometimes difficult daily disciplines, compounded over time."Ready to break free from the cycle of dramatic starts and disappointing finishes? This episode offers a refreshing alternative that aligns with how lasting change actually happens. What small improvement will you commit to today? Listen now and discover how tiny steps can lead to your flourishing life.Key Points from the Episode:• Harriet the tortoise lived to 176 years old and was one of the tortoises Charles Darwin collected from the Galapagos• Different tortoise species evolved gradually over millions of years to adapt to their environments• The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy emphasizes "mundane, unsexy, unexcited, sometimes difficult, daily disciplines, compounded over time"• The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson focuses on "simple productive actions, repeatedly, consistently, over time"• Kaizen is the Japanese concept for small, consistent improvements that lead to significant change• Small virtues or daily disciplines may seem insignificant but yield powerful results when practiced consistentlyWhat small step will you take today to improve? One small, insignificant step at a time will put you on the road to a flourishing life.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

All Call Sunday A Sermon by Judy Mensch, missionary to the children  of Europe. For more information about Judy here.   Ouline Introduction Introduction of the speaker: Judy Mensch, a missionary, children's pastor, evangelist, and Bible school instructor. Personal anecdotes regarding support and shared history with the church community. Humorous and personal stories to establish rapport (e.g., pantyhose story behind the pulpit). Emphasis on the church as a community of people, not just a building. Reflections on Aging and Experience Positive perspective on aging: increased wisdom and social skills. Physical challenges of aging contrasted with personal vitality and ongoing activity. Encouragement to embrace age and continue serving. Purpose and Structure of the Service Explanation of the focus: The Body of Christ and individual roles within it. Outline of how the service will conclude: Invitation for newcomers to learn about Jesus. Instructions for congregation members to visit ministry tables and sign up for service opportunities. Emphasis that everyone should find a place to serve. The Body of Christ: Diversity and Function Analogy of the body: Each part has a unique and necessary function. Encouragement for all members to participate in ministry, not to remain spectators. Assurance that everyone has something to contribute. The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) Reference to the parable as a basis for the message. Clarification of terminology: preference for “skills and gifts” over “talents.” Emphasis that all have received gifts/skills from God. Key Points of the Message A. Variety of Gifts Everyone has received something; no one is left out. Gifts differ in type and measure, reflecting God's sovereignty and purpose. Biblical references: 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, Ephesians. B. Responsibility of Having Gifts Each person is called to use their gifts in service. Serving fills personal gaps and brings fulfillment. God's will is for everyone to be active, not passive. C. Rewards of Using Gifts Joy is the reward for serving and using one's gifts. Serving others leads to personal growth and spiritual satisfaction. Diversity and Equality in the Body God gives different gifts to different people, but loves all equally. No gift is more honorable; all are necessary for the body to function. Reference to the “upside down kingdom”: God's values often differ from worldly values. Practical Application and Encouragement Encouragement to sign up for ministries, including less glamorous roles (e.g., nursery). Recognition that some ministries are less visible but equally important. Everyone's contribution matters, regardless of recognition or praise. Conclusion Restatement of the call to serve and be active in the body of Christ. Assurance that serving is serving Jesus himself. Final instructions for the congregation on next steps after the service.  

The Ache Beneath the Noise Summary: We live in a loud world—and we carry that noise inside of us. In this episode, we talk about how distraction becomes a coping mechanism and how stillness can feel threatening when we're used to numbing. But God's invitation is always the same: Be still and know. Key Points: How cultural noise shapes our view of ourselves and God The ways we numb instead of heal (scrolling, bingeing, shopping) A moment of quiet that exposed a deeper ache Psalm 46:10 as an invitation, not a command A prayer to face what's under the noise with God's help Stay Connected: Instagram Facebook Email

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageEver notice how starting is always the hardest part of any task? There's deep scientific wisdom behind this struggle, and it traces back to one of history's greatest minds. Newton's First Law of Physics doesn't just explain how objects move through space—it perfectly captures the psychology of human action and inaction.This Mojo Minute explores how tiny actions generate powerful momentum at surprisingly low cost. Drawing wisdom from Greg Krech's "The Art of Taking Action" and Japanese psychology, we discover that flourishing lives aren't built through occasional heroic efforts but through consistent small steps that generate unstoppable momentum. The question isn't "Have you gone very far?" but rather "Do you now have momentum?" Once that momentum exists, continued progress becomes your natural state. Visit teammojoacademy.com for additional resources and join us in putting theory into action, one small step at a time.Key Points from the Episode:• Small actions create valuable momentum at a low effort cost• Examples include one push-up, one dish washed, or one paragraph written• Greg Krech's book "The Art of Taking Action" draws from Japanese psychology• Initial actions haven't taken you far, but they've created crucial momentum• Building a flourishing life happens one small step at a time• When stuck, try this simple prayer: "Lord, you know all things. You know that I love you. Teach me and lead me today on what you want from me today"Before ending this episode, resolve to do one thing you know you need to do to pursue your dreams.

Sunday Morning Message - "The Tabernacle - Meeting with God"In this message from June 1, Teaching Pastor, David Jett continues our series in Exodus in chapters 24 through 31 where we're invited to explore the profound concept of meeting with God. The central theme revolves around Exodus 24-31, where God instructs Moses about the tabernacle. But this isn't just about ancient history - it's a vivid picture of God's desire to dwell among us. We learn that meeting God isn't about our religious efforts, but about embracing the privilege He offers. Bro. David challenges our innate tendency to think we can earn our way to God, reminding us that it's God who pursues us. This message encourages us to shift our perspective from trying to climb the mountain to God, to recognizing that Jesus has already come down the mountain to us. It's a call to embrace the reality of God's love and presence in our lives, not through religious rituals, but through a genuine relationship made possible by Christ's sacrifice and the indwelling Holy Spirit.Key Points:God pursues us; we don't pursue HimThe tabernacle and sacrificial system in Exodus were pictures of God's planJesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial systemThe Holy Spirit enables our relationship with GodMeeting with God is a privilege to embrace, not a religious duty to perform

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this special Summer Flip Series episode, I'm so excited to share a powerful and honest conversation I had on the Online Business for Christian Women podcast with my dear friend Stefanie Gass. We're diving deep into the truth behind what really creates long-term success in online business—refining your messaging, trusting your path, and giving yourself permission to fully own your genius. I open up about my journey from PR and blogging to building a multi-million dollar brand, and how messaging clarity + visibility became the foundation of it all. We also talk about the difference between content and messaging, how to make your message move people (and create sales), and why the real transformation begins when you stop trying to be someone else and start fully owning what's already inside you. Plus, I share my favorite visibility tips for landing opportunities before you feel "ready."

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: If you've ever felt like your content is thoughtful, your offers are solid, and you're showing up consistently—but your best-fit clients still aren't buying—this episode is for you. Today, I'm diving deep into the real reason your dream clients aren't converting: you're likely speaking to the wrong part of them. I break down why pain-point and results-based messaging no longer create the demand you need—and what does. In this episode, I walk you through the concept of identity-based messaging and how to shift from chasing attention to creating emotional resonance. You'll learn how to mirror your clients' next-level identity, create content that triggers demand, and refine your message in a way that makes the right clients say “yes” before you ever pitch. If you're ready to move beyond likes and engagement and finally craft messaging that converts with ease, this episode will change everything. Liked this episode?

I get it. I learned it in college, in my marketing classes. It does work, but it takes so much flipping longer to work. Why? Because pain point marketing attracts people who need convincing.” - Julie Solomon  “  You do not need more volume. This is not a lead problem because if I dropped a thousand more leads on your lap with you having the same challenge that you currently have, it's just gonna create more problems. So it's not more volume.

In this edition of What Went Wrong, I got a chance to explore mistakes, missteps, and the humbling reality that even seasoned pros can land flat on their face with repeat guest Robin Waite. This time, he didn't come with a polished pitch or a shiny success story. He brought a cautionary tale about Facebook ads, cold leads, and a £9,000 lesson in what happens when you trust the algorithm more than your instincts. Key Points from the Conversation with Robin Waite Even Experts Trip Up Robin isn't new to marketing—he ran an agency for 12 years. But when it came to Facebook ads for his own coaching business, he got caught in the allure of automation and scale. What started strong eventually crashed, all because the warm audience he'd been nurturing for years dried up. Your Audience Isn't Infinite Facebook ads worked—until they didn't. The moment his familiar, friendly audience was exhausted, the leads stopped flowing. Robin kept the campaign running for three more months, hoping it would fix itself. It didn't. Turns out, if you don't refill your marketing funnel, it doesn't matter how clever your copy or shiny your creative. Know Enough to Stay Dangerous Robin outsourced the nitty-gritty to so-called ad experts, trusting they'd fix the problem. But no one could explain what was going wrong. That blind spot cost him. The lesson? You don't need to be the expert, but you need to know enough to ask the right questions. When in Doubt, Go Back to What Works With his budget blown and confidence shaken, Robin went back to basics—his podcast, speaking gigs, and book. Instead of chasing cold leads, he rebuilt slowly by focusing on brand-building and trust, knowing that meaningful connections take time. Marketing is Just One Big Science Fair Like any good experiment, sometimes things blow up. And that's okay. Robin reminded us that failure is part of the formula—especially in marketing. The trick is not to avoid mistakes, but to make better ones next time. Takeaways for Business Owners Warm audiences are wonderful—but they won't last forever. Always be adding new people to the top of your funnel. Facebook ads can be powerful—but only if you understand the mechanics. Don't hand over your entire budget without oversight. Track what's working, and don't be afraid to pivot. If your gut says something's off, it probably is. When the fancy stuff fails, go back to your roots. Relationships, conversations, and trust still matter most. And maybe most important of all: Marketing isn't magic. It's messy, imperfect, and beautifully human—just like us. About Robin Waite Robin is the founder of Fearless Business, a Business Accelerator for Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers. Having spent 12 year's running a digital marketing business, Robin pivoted in 2016 to focus on the part of his business he liked the best; training business owners how to be better in business. In 2016 Robin founded Fearless Business, a unique Business Growth Accelerator for Coaches, Consultants and Freelancers so help free them from the sales cycle of doom!
