ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most transformational shifts I've made in my business—and life. If you've ever felt successful on the outside but misaligned on the inside, this episode is for you. I'm sharing the truth about what happens when your strategy outpaces your sovereignty, and how I reclaimed my business, message, and leadership by choosing alignment over adrenaline. We'll dive into the identity recalibration that allowed me to stop abandoning myself inside my own success, how I restructured my business to support my nervous system (not just revenue goals), and why letting go—not doing more—is often the missing piece. I'll walk you through how I simplified everything, honored my energy, and began creating content that doesn't just perform, but resonates deeply. If you're ready to stop building from obligation and start leading from embodiment, this episode is your invitation to rise. Liked this episode?

They buy your standard, they buy the version of you that they see and that they spot, and that they think ‘I want, what she has.'” - Julie Solomon  “ This is the distinction. Clients reaching out saying, ‘this post literally felt like it was written for me. Are you in my brain? Are you in my soul? Sales came in from content that didn't even have a call to action on it,' which if you know me, I love a good CTA, but this is where resonance does what tactics can't. This is why the messaging frameworks that I have built, I have created, that I have tested, that I now share with my clients work. Because they don't just teach you what to say. They teach you how to say it in a way that only you can.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.

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. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever."Luke 1:32-33 - "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. 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?

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

Join Fr. Jonathan Meyer for today's Rise Up reflection as we draw closer to the glorious feast of Pentecost. In this video, Fr. Meyer walks us through a powerful Gospel passage and invites us to open our hearts to the perfect, Trinitarian love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 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.

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."

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat happens when high school students throw "Prom-munism" complete with hammers and sickles? Something is deeply wrong when American teenagers celebrate an ideology responsible for over 100 million deaths.Our guide for this horrific tale is the great Paul Kengor and his book the Political Incorrect Guide to Communism.  This eye-opening episode examines the alarming trend of young Americans viewing communism and socialism sympathetically. We dive into shocking examples of schools commemorating the Bolshevik Revolution and other communist milestones, while exploring recent polling data showing 45-51% of Gen Z and millennials viewing socialism favorably - with a significant percentage actually supporting the elimination of capitalism.The historical evidence is damning. We break down the death toll by country: 20 million in the USSR (with some estimates reaching 61 million), 65 million in China, 2 million in Cambodia, 2 million in North Korea, and millions more worldwide. These numbers exceed the combined casualties of both World Wars. For perspective, even Hitler's Holocaust, while unspeakably evil, claimed approximately 10 million lives – a fraction of what communist regimes inflicted on their own populations.What explains this disconnect between historical reality and contemporary perception? We examine how educational materials like Howard Zinn's widely-assigned textbooks present a Marxist interpretation that minimizes communist atrocities while emphasizing capitalism's failings. This selective teaching creates dangerous historical amnesia that dishonors victims and risks repeating tragic mistakes.Listen now to arm yourself with historical facts and help ensure the next generation understands the true legacy of these deadly ideologies.Key Points from the Episode:• 51% of Americans aged 18-29 view socialism positively compared to 45% for capitalism  • 2019 survey showed 70% of millennials would likely vote for a socialist candidate• Communist regimes killed approximately 100 million people (USSR: 20M, China: 65M)• Communist death toll exceeds combined casualties of both World Wars• Howard Zinn's Marxist textbooks have influenced generations of students• Four essential books document communism's true history and atrocitiesKeep fighting the good fight and ensure we have eyes to see and ears to hear the truth about history's deadliest ideology.Other resources: PragerU Hall of Evil Series Want to leave a review?

Part 1 We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Summary"We Should All Be Feminists" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is an essay adapted from her TEDx talk, which provides a personal and passionate perspective on feminism and its relevance in today's world.

She recounts experiences from childhood to adulthood that illustrate societal expectations and pressures on women and girls, including how they are often discouraged from pursuing ambitious goals compared to their male counterparts.

Adichie asserts that true equality would benefit all, leading to a more just society.

Adichie advocates for education and dialogue about feminism and encourages individuals to stand up against sexism in their daily lives. Overall, "We Should All Be Feminists" is a compelling argument for gender equality, providing insights into the ways in which society can work towards creating a more equitable world.Part 2 We Should All Be Feminists AuthorChimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a Nigerian author born on September 15, 1977, in Enugu, Nigeria.

How do you respond when life gets hard? When trials come, do you shut down—or look up?In this sermon from James 1:1–8, we're reminded that trouble isn't random. God uses difficulty to shape, stretch, and strengthen our faith. It's not about escaping the hard things—it's about learning to see them with spiritual clarity.James encourages believers to count it all joy—not because the pain disappears, but because God is at work in the midst of it. This message walks through three key shifts in perspective that help us triumph in trouble:Key Points:1. You see It for what it is...the BEST making you BETTER!2. You see YOURSELF for who you are...not FINISHED and not ABLE!3. You see GOD for who He is...GREAT and GOOD! Always GIVING and COMMITTED to your GROWING!When we begin to see our trials through God's lens, we gain endurance, wisdom, and a deeper dependence on Him.Key Scripture: James 1:1-8

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!

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe American education system is failing our children. With only 33% of fourth graders reading at proficiency—a statistic unchanged since 1992—and international rankings showing the US lagging in math, science, and problem-solving skills, parents are increasingly seeking alternatives. Enter the classical education revival: a powerful counter-revolution growing at 5% annually with projected enrollment reaching 1.4 million students by 2035.Classical education isn't a new innovation but rather a return to what worked for 2,500 years. At its core lies a fundamental understanding of humans as "rational animals" requiring development in both intellectual and moral virtue. When you walk into a classical school, you won't see students glued to screens. Instead, you'll find children in uniforms engaged in genuine conversation, studying primary sources and great works of literature, guided by teachers deeply educated in their subjects. The curriculum builds systematically from kindergarten through high school, focusing on worthy, thought-provoking material rather than educational fads.The results speak volumes. Hillsdale College's Barney Charter School Initiative has established 30 member schools across 17 states with remarkable outcomes: 99% graduation rates versus 86% nationally, 63% college placement versus 44%, and significantly higher standardized test scores. But the most profound difference lies in the emphasis on virtues rather than values. Where traditional schools promote subjective values without clear moral grounding, classical schools explicitly teach objective virtues like honesty, courage, responsibility, respect, and wisdom. They approach American history by having students read founding documents directly, acknowledging both the country's flaws and its progress toward fulfilling worthy ideals. This isn't about political indoctrination but about equipping students with the intellectual tools to think deeply and critically about what matters most in human life and society.Key Points from the Episode:• Classical education sector growing 5% annually with projected enrollment of 1.4 million students by 2035• Only 33% of 4th graders read at proficient levels, virtually unchanged since 1992• Hillsdale College leading the renaissance through their Barney Charter School Initiative with 30 member schools across 17 states• Classical schools emphasize virtues over values, teaching objective standards rather than subjective preferences• Key differences include limited technology, focused curriculum, primary source documents, and teaching both intellectual and moral virtues• Better outcomes include 99% graduation rates and 63% college placement compared to national averages• Classical education emphasizes virtues (honesty, courage, responsibility, respect, wisdom) rather than subjective values• These schools teach American history through primary documents while acknowledging both accomplishments and failures• Focus is on developing critical thinking by engaging with great works rather than indoctrinationOther resources: Liberty #14--the 16,000 hour war part 1Liberty #14--the 16,000 hour war part 2American Classical Education video (worthy of your time)Want to leave a review?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe wildest presidential campaign in modern American history deserves analysis that's as gripping as the events themselves. Today we're diving into two books that attempt to make sense of the chaos: "Fight" by Jonathan Allen and Amy Parnes, and "Uncharted" by Chris Whipple.From Biden's disastrous CNN debate where he appeared "ghostly white" and froze mid-sentence before 51 million viewers, to the frantic 107-day Harris campaign that followed, these accounts promise a behind-the-scenes look at a political earthquake. But which one delivers the goods?While Whipple's "Uncharted" offers valuable insider access through Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain, it ultimately reads like an extended op-ed with a clear liberal tilt. The real revelation comes from "Fight," where Allen and Parnes weave a narrative that's both balanced and brutally honest. They take us inside shocking moments like Kevin McCarthy's White House tour with Biden, where the Republican leader walked away thinking, "This guy has literally lost his mind." We see Harris's team lamenting, "There's no effing future in our message," as they struggled to differentiate from Biden while remaining shackled to his policies. And we witness Trump's strategic mastery, from his McDonald's stunt to his Silicon Valley alliances.Key Points from the Episode:• Comparing two major books on the 2024 election: "Uncharted" by Chris Whipple and "Fight" by Jonathan Allen and Amy Parnes• "Uncharted" provides insider access to Biden's team but suffers from liberal bias and feels like an extended op-ed• "Fight" delivers raw, balanced storytelling that respects readers' intelligence without picking sides• Biden's debate disaster revealed his severe cognitive decline, with his chief of staff thinking "This is a disaster" as Biden froze on stage• Harris's campaign struggled to establish independence from Biden, with advisors lamenting "There's no effing future in our message"• Kevin McCarthy's White House tour with Biden revealed the president's confusion, leading McCarthy to think "This guy has literally lost his mind"• Trump's campaign effectively connected with voters on economic issues while Democrats focused on abstract concepts• "Fight" emerges as the superior book for understanding the 2024 election through its comprehensive and fair-minded analysisOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Heath Lambert addresses a question from a youth minister about how to guide young Christians seeking "closure" after relationships end. Discover how to recognize what people are really asking for beneath this vague term, and respond with biblical wisdom.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 Introduction and this week's topic on relationship closure0:35 Context: Youth minister's question about teenage breakups1:37 The problem with "closure" as a vague, undefined term2:35 How to help someone seeking closure: Ask questions and apply Scripture3:32 Category #1: Closure when mistreatment has occurred4:40 Biblical perspective: Reconciliation, not just "closure"5:50 Category #2: Desiring to recover a relationship or understand rejection6:52 The painful reality of unrequited feelings8:41 Finding security in God's love (Ephesians 1:7-8) rather than human approval10:02 Category #3: Confusion about the relationship seeking clarityKEY POINTS:- "Closure" is an ill-defined term that means different things to different people- When someone seeks closure, ask specific questions to understand what they're really seeking- Three common categories of what people mean by "closure":1. Mistreatment that needs addressing - When sin has occurred in the relationship- Biblical category: Reconciliation through confession and forgiveness- May be complicated by circumstances (especially if dangerous behavior occurred)2.Unreciprocated affection - When one person likes the other more- Reality: We must learn to respond maturely to rejection- No amount of "closure conversations" can change someone's feelings- Growth comes through finding security in God's lavish love (Ephesians 1:7-8)3. Genuine confusion seeking clarity - Understanding what happened- May be legitimate or may mask the desire for reconciliation- Can be appropriate when seeking growth-oriented feedback- Must approach with others-centered love, not selfish motivesSubmit your questions for future episodes to markedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES:Ephesians 1:7-8 - "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight."

Scripture: John 6:1-15, 35; Mark 8:5-7Sermon Title Suggestion: Broken for Blessing: The Dynamics of MultiplicationIntro: Deep gratitude for Radiant church – our "you're not crazy cousin"! You embody shared family values: unwavering commitment to Scripture's authority and the Gospel's centrality, a deep hunger for the Holy Spirit, and a wild hope for revival. You believe God isn't done with California, value elder-led teams, local roots with a global heart, and dream of multiplying churches. This message, drawing from "Broken for Blessing," is to fortify you for your next 20 years of fruitfulness. May this be a fresh, specific word from the Lord for Radiant.Key Points: 5 Dynamics of Christ's Multiplication (John 6)Life is in the Message, Not the Model (John 6:35): The Gospel of Jesus Christ, the true Bread of Life, is the multiplying power. Church planting models ("baskets") are secondary and will change; the message of Jesus' brokenness for our wholeness is eternal and what truly nourishes. Don't merely become experts in models; remain passionately in love with Jesus and His message. Remember: "My bad... You're good" – this is the Gospel!No Multiplication Without Subtraction (John 6:11): Just as the boy offered his entire lunch, true multiplication demands sacrifice. Jesus will ask us to put our best resources—our time, finances, and even our best leaders—into His hands, sometimes leaving us feeling hungry or stretched for a season so others might be filled. This is vital for a faith legacy that inspires future generations, fighting conservatism and embracing holy risk.Anointed Administration is a Jesus Thing (John 6:10; Mark 6:40): Jesus didn't just perform a miracle; He organized it, having people sit in groups. Effective administration is a spiritual gift, partnering with the prophetic, not opposing it. Radiant, as you grow, don't resist God-given systems and structures that facilitate further healthy multiplication.God's Abundant Provision AND Disruption (John 6:12-13): God always gives back more than we offer (12 baskets full!), but it often returns as "fragments"—raw potential, not always the finished product. This means a life of continual formation, raising new leaders, and embracing the disruption this brings. This keeps the church healthy and reliant on God, not just a few gifted individuals.Disciples Catch a Culture of Multiplication (Mark 8:5-7): After witnessing the feeding of the 5,000, the disciples offered their own loaves for the 4,000. A culture of multiplication is caught. When we see God move and willingly offer our unique "loaves and fish," we participate in His incredible multiplying mission.Conclusion: Ultimately, multiplying disciples and churches isn't just about growth; it's about Jesus receiving the reward of His suffering. He, the Lamb that was slain, is worthy because He was wounded for our healing and wholeness.Call to Action: Today, consider: what are your "loaves and fish"? Is it your time, talent, home, business, or finances? Jesus invites you to freshly place them in His hands. Respond with, "Count me in, Lord. You can count on me." Let's desire that the Lamb receives the full reward of His suffering through us. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

In this episode of the Grace & Grit podcast, we explore the evolving landscape of wellness strategies, focusing on how pharmaceutical supports can be integrated into a holistic approach to health for midlife wellness. We discuss the importance of maintaining fundamental wellness practices while considering medical interventions as complementary tools rather than replacements. Key Points from this Episode: Understanding the role of pharmaceutical supports, including hormone therapy, weight management medications, and prescribed supplements in modern wellness The critical importance of maintaining fundamental health practices like hydration, sleep, nutrition, mindset, and movement Why taking an integrated approach (combining medical interventions with basic wellness practices) leads to better outcomes This episode emphasizes that while modern medical interventions can be valuable tools in our wellness journey, they work best when built upon a strong foundation of basic health practices. The message is clear: it's not about choosing between medical supports and fundamentals – it's about thoughtfully combining both for optimal results.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and messaging expert Brandon Lucero for a powerful deep-dive into what really makes content convert. We go beyond surface-level strategies and into the psychology of messaging that drives demand—without relying on hype or constant how-to posts. Brandon breaks down his three levels of trust that every business needs to build with its audience, and how to shift from over-teaching to creating true resonance and relevance. We talk about how to stop overwhelming your audience, the difference between encyclopedic content and TED Talk-level impact, and why self-identifying content is one of the most effective ways to generate demand before ever mentioning your offer. Brandon also shares practical examples of how to structure your messaging, content, and even Reels to attract aligned clients who are ready to buy—not just engage. If you're ready to stop chasing attention and start creating true connections and conversions, this episode is a must-listen! Liked this episode?

Intellect is important. Using your expertise to really showcase and break down processes in a logical way that is digestible for someone to understand is important, but that doesn't always lead to a sale. In fact, a lot of times that can kind of put you in the friend zone where people are engaging with your content. Maybe they find you valuable. They find you inspiring, they think that you're really smart, but they're not buying from you.” - Julie Solomon  “   When it comes to information, I always talk about teaching concepts. Don't teach them how to actually do something, but what's the concept they need to learn? And then if you follow it up with like a metaphor or analogy or something like that, now the brain automatically goes, oh, that makes sense.
