In episode 188, we dive into the topic of financial literacy, exploring the lessons we wish we'd learned before our first paycheck. The episode unpacks pervasive money myths, the challenges of discussing finances - especially with those closest to us - and the reality behind so-called “smart financial moves.” We also discuss inherited financial habits, generational money mindset clashes, and what it truly means to prepare the next generation for financial success beyond just opening a savings account. Jamie Shelton, a Senior Wealth Manager at S.E.E.D. Planning Group and board president for SEEDs of Hope, joins us to share insights on promoting financial literacy. Key Themes and Takeaways Financial Literacy Defined: We break down what financial literacy means, emphasizing that it's not just about knowing financial terminology but also understanding how to apply that knowledge to your own life. Many people feel financially illiterate because they don't understand the language of finance, and we discuss how learning the terminology is the first step, followed by learning how to use it. Generational Perspectives: The episode highlights how different generations approach money and investing. Travis shares stories about how market events like the 2008 crash shaped investor perspectives, especially for those just starting out. We discuss how wisdom and experience play a crucial role in financial decision-making, and how younger and older generations can learn from each other. Changing Financial Landscape: We talk about how the financial industry is still rooted in its sales origins, with many advisors focused on asset gathering rather than true planning. The industry is evolving, but the shift toward fiduciary responsibility and fee-only advice is still underway. Travis encourages listeners to advocate for themselves and ask tough questions when working with financial professionals. The Value of Wisdom: Wisdom comes from experience, and Travis shares how working with clients over decades has shown him the importance of perspective. High inflation, interest rates, and market volatility are nothing new, and understanding the bigger picture helps younger investors avoid panic and make better decisions. Information Overload and Technology: We discuss how the internet and social media have changed the way people access financial information. While younger generations are adept at sifting through online data, it's important to discern credible sources from misinformation. The speed and fragmentation of information today make it challenging to make informed decisions, highlighting the need for financial literacy and wisdom. Emotional Benefits and Solutions Throughout the episode, Travis emphasizes the emotional benefits of financial literacy—confidence, empowerment, and the ability to make informed decisions. By understanding both the language and the application of financial concepts, listeners can break free from anxiety and confusion, advocate for themselves, and build a foundation for long-term financial success. Conclusion Episode 188 is all about equipping you with the knowledge and perspective to navigate your financial journey. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, the lessons shared in this episode are designed to help you gain clarity, confidence, and...

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Bishop Thad Barnum reminds us that we don't live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Drawing from Deuteronomy, he shows that Scripture is never meant to be lifeless ink on a page—the Word becomes alive only when the Holy Spirit breathes through it.When the Spirit enlivens the Word, it does more than inform us—it transforms us. God's Word, spoken and alive, feeds our souls, shapes our hearts, and draws us deeper into communion with Him.

https://www.jasonnewland.com/ Let Me Bore You to Sleep (#1453, October 3rd, 2025)  is a long, rambling, intentionally drowsy podcast hosted by Jason Newland. It runs about 1 hour and 31 minutes. Jason wanders between everyday observations, playful tangents, and one central Q&A Friday question: “Have your new neighbors moved in?” Key Themes & Segments Opening (0:00 – 10:00) Jason greets listeners, jokes about doing 1,452 previous episodes, and scratches an itch mid-intro. He thanks listeners but struggles to sound sincere without laughing. Mentions his podcast's modest downloads, giving shoutouts to listeners in Minnesota and Oregon. Explains Q&A Friday tradition—this week with only one submitted question. Meta-Podcast Talk (10:00 – 20:00) Jason discusses how few questions come in, suggests people could email him at his Hotmail address. Talks about drinking water quietly to avoid editing out gulp sounds. Reflects on how his voice and style come across—often rambling, repetitive, and humorous through mundane details. Everyday Tangents (20:00 – 35:00) Discusses rain, clouds, and whether birds can fly in storms. Shares stories about childhood fear of jumping from trees and a friend's odd “your feet are lower than your eyes” explanation. Recounts how his dog Vinny once panicked at the sight of a hot-air balloon. ChatGPT Experiment (35:00 – 55:00) Jason describes feeding his TurboScribe transcripts into ChatGPT and being surprised that AI could mimic his rambling style. Reads back AI-generated responses to the week's question (“Have your new neighbors moved in?”), laughing at its ghost and bus analogies. Reflects on the weirdness of having AI describe his “style” as repetitive, mundane, self-aware, and surreal. Answering the Question – Neighbors (55:00 – 1:07:00) Jason finally answers: yes, two new neighbors have moved in. One downstairs (has deliveries but Jason hasn't met them). One opposite his flat (they've exchanged greetings twice). Shares awkward encounters: offering help with moving furniture, feeling self-conscious about being seen waiting for deliveries, and worrying whether his neighbor believed him. Reflects on how his building used to be very social but may become quieter as long-term residents move away. Reflections on Change & Community (1:07:00 – 1:15:00) Wonders if he'll eventually become like “Uncle Sausages,” the older neighbor who kept to himself. Notes the building feels less lively now compared to when he first moved in. Thinks about how neighbors cycle in and out, and how one day he'll be “the old man upstairs.” Daily Life & Random Observations (1:15:00 – 1:26:00) Talks about deliveries (razor, shampoo, Ready Brek cereal). Complains about rising grocery prices. Explains how Brits tell the time differently (quarter to/past instead of “fifteen after”). Jokes about sundials giving inconsistent times at a garden centre. Closing (1:26:00 – 1:31:00) Plans a future episode about iconic British comedy characters (e.g., Patricia Routledge's Hyacinth “Bouquet,” Alan Partridge, Frank Spencer). Wraps up with a reminder for listeners to be kind to themselves and ends with his trademark gentle sign-off. Overall Tone & Style Conversational, meandering, and self-deprecating. Mixes humor with personal anecdotes about neighbors, pets, childhood memories, and trivial daily life. Frequently acknowledges the “pointlessness” of his rambling but leans into it, reinforcing the podcast's sleepy, hypnotic effect. ✨ In short: This episode blends Jason's classic sleepy rambling style with a surprisingly reflective discussion about neighbors, AI imitation of his voice, and how his living environment is slowly changing.

Do your relationships keep triggering old wounds? In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wife's Club, therapist Melissa Lapides breaks down how anxious and avoidant attachment styles show up after divorce—and how to finally heal them.Whether you're newly divorced, co-parenting, or opening your heart to love again, this conversation will help you stop repeating painful patterns and reclaim your emotional power.

In the latest installment of Discord Notes, I opened up about more than just wrestling. Volume 7 is about building strong foundations — whether in conversations, communities, or creative platforms. It's also about being honest: with myself, with you, and with the content I create.For years, creators have been told to avoid politics and religion. I broke that rule in this episode. Why? Because culture itself is inseparable from both — and avoiding uncomfortable conversations only weakens our foundation.Key Themes from Volume 7Patreon Relaunch: After experimenting with Fourthwall, I relaunched Patreon on September 9th, 2025. Fourthwall stays as my merch home (with fully original designs), but Patreon is now the hub for community, group chats, and deeper conversations.Cancel Culture & Free Speech: From Gail Kim vs. Riho to hateful comments on my Raja Jackson video, I highlight how we've confused opinions with facts — and how online discourse has lost the ability to find common ground.Foundations Matter: I use the metaphor of building blocks to explain why obsessing over “chipped blocks” (small issues) prevents us from building strong structures in culture, wrestling, and community.Wrestling Meets Culture: Saudi Arabia is buying influence — WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and now EA. WWE continues its global growth, while AEW stagnates, and NJPW is suffocating under outdated traditions.Breaking My Own Rules: I reflect on faith, being raised Catholic, and the phrase “walk by faith, not by sight.” I argue that growth requires discomfort — and conversations about religion, politics, and culture can't be ignored anymore.Why This MattersWrestling isn't just about matches — it's a mirror of culture. Discord Notes is my space to unpack those intersections without the algorithm dictating what gets heard. Patreon allows me to have unfiltered conversations with you — free of censorship, rage-bait, and corporate control.As I said in the episode: “Discord Notes Volume 7 is all about trying to find a really firm foundation in the things that we should talk about… not in a way that's preachy, but in a way where we can grow.”Please note: future Discord Notes will be on Patreon. I will keep this as wrestling. Stuff will be moving around.https://patreon.com/marieshadows

This week we dive deep into Romans 11:13–24, where Paul uses powerful imagery, first fruits, roots, and branches, to reveal what it really means to belong to the family of God.Key Themes in This Message: • First fruit & Lump of Dough (Numbers 15) If the first portion is set apart for God, the whole batch is considered holy.➤ If God has made the root holy, everything connected to it shares in that calling.• The Olive Tree Analogy, Some branches were broken off, and we (Gentiles) were grafted in.➤ Don't boast, stay humble. We don't support the root… the ROOT (Jesus) supports us.• What Does “Holy” Really Mean?It's not about being morally perfect, it means being set apart for God's purpose.• Jesus: The Root of Jesse (Isaiah 11) The promised shoot from the stump who brings life not just to Israel but to all nations.• Warning & Encouragement (Romans 11:22)➤ “Consider the goodness and severity of God.”Our place isn't secured by performance, but by persevering faith. Stay rooted. Don't drift.ABIDE | Not AchieveJesus said in John 15:4-5, “Abide in Me… for without Me you can do nothing.”He isn't commanding us to produce fruit, He's inviting us to stay connected.

In this teaching, Pastor JD unpacks one of our core values as a community: Jesus leads us to the table.Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is constantly eating with others—at a meal, going to a meal, or coming from a meal. These table gatherings weren't just social moments; they were places of healing, forgiveness, teaching, and belonging. Jesus took what people expected to experience in the temple and brought it to ordinary tables, transforming them into sacred spaces.At North City, we believe the same is true today. Around tables—whether at Brunch Church, Dinner Church, microchurches, or in our homes—we experience God's presence, welcome the stranger, and live out the priesthood of all believers.✨ Key Themes in This Teaching: • Why meals were central to Jesus' ministry • How the early church carried this forward in homes and community tables • What it means for us to be a “table church” today • The call to hospitality—turning strangers into neighbors and friends • Living as co-creators with Jesus in everyday spaces

Who is God—really? Not just who He is to you, but who He declares Himself to be in His Word. In this message from 2 Peter 3:18, Pastor Andrew calls us to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Too many believers stop at “Jesus is my Savior” and never go deeper. But Scripture urges us to study, to know His character, and to let Him reveal Himself—not to create our own definition.

Welcome to Wellspring Church!What heals the world? Pastor Billy Waters led us into Deuteronomy 6 with this question, reminding us that true healing doesn't come from political programs, policies, or human achievement—it comes from God's kingdom. When heaven meets earth through Jesus' reign, all that is broken will be restored.In this message, we were called to consider our role as God's covenant people. Israel didn't conquer the nations with armies or influence, but by living as a people who listen to God and love Him wholeheartedly. That same call is ours today: listening and loving are inseparable. Love comes first, and from love flows obedience.

In this episode I dive into three themes that are helpful to understand when thinking about men and women (in no particular order). These themes focus on listening, taking things personally, and telling the truth.I touch on how important the systems of the world are to men and why sometimes women disregard that. I get into why men and women alike take things personally when they really shouldn't. Finally I get into why men are inspired by sincerity from women and why truth telling is one of the most important attributes of a truly awakened feminine woman.Listen into learn what being “full” for a woman means, the mantra ‘listen to learn,' and how men always ‘have a plan.'TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - 00:39 Episode Trailer and Intro00:39 - 01:14 Today's overview01:14 - 01:33 Today's 3 topics01:33 - 02:53 Men love systems02:53 - 05:14 Men are extremely sensitive to sincerity05:14 - 07:18 More on men loving systems07:18 - 09:00 Listening to learn09:00 - 11:29 Women's fear centers are larger and twice as active as men's11:29 - 13:18 If a woman starts sharing, she wants a listener, not a solution13:18 - 15:22 The issue with assuming everyone functions like you15:22 - 18:19 Women take personal offense to men's singular focus18:19 - 21:06 Men always have a plan21:06 - 23:00 This is very disempowering for women23:00 - 25:48 This is why feminine truth is so hard25:48 - 28:31 Being overly nice makes people suspicious of your character28:31 - 29:10 Outro___________________________If you found some value today then help me spread the word!

The world is moving faster than ever. Technology is advancing at lightning speed, industries are being disrupted, and skills that worked yesterday are already becoming outdated.In this episode, Denis Gianoutsos highlights a powerful truth: “If you're not learning faster than the pace of change, then you're falling behind.” Change is no longer a one-off event; it's the environment leaders must now operate in.Through real-world examples from Microsoft, PepsiCo, and New Zealand's legendary All Blacks, Denis shows how leaders who embrace continuous learning create lasting impact.You'll discover why skills have an expiry date, how curiosity fuels adaptability, and the seven practical steps leaders can take to embed learning into their culture and thrive in disruption.Step into this conversation and learn what it really takes to lead in a world where change never stops.Why Learning is the New Leadership EdgeChange is constant: no more “business as usual”Skills now expire within years, sometimes monthsLeaders must adapt faster than disruptionLessons from Business and SportSatya Nadella (Microsoft): From know-it-all to learn-it-all cultureIndra Nooyi (PepsiCo): Curiosity as a driver of global growth and sustainabilityThe All Blacks: A “no excuses” debrief culture that sustains excellencePractical Steps for LeadersModel the way Build curiosity into your culture Invest in future skillsCreate a reflection space Encourage peer-to-peer learning Stay close to your customersCoach and mentor Key Quotes:“If you're not learning faster than the pace of change, then you're falling behind.” - Denis Gianoutsos“Leadership today is not about having all the answers.

Amaziah's Reign in Judah (vv.1–7): Amaziah, son of Joash, becomes king of Judah and rules for 29 years. He does what is right in God's eyes, though not fully like David, since high places remain. He executes the officials who killed his father but spares their children, obeying the Law of Moses. Amaziah defeats the Edomites in battle, striking down 10,000 in the Valley of Salt and capturing Sela, renaming it Joktheel.Conflict with Israel (vv.8–14): Amaziah challenges Jehoash, king of Israel, to battle. Jehoash warns him with a parable about a thistle and a cedar, advising him not to be prideful after his victory over Edom. Amaziah refuses, and they fight at Beth Shemesh. Judah is defeated, Amaziah is captured, and Jerusalem's wall is broken down. Jehoash takes treasures from the temple and palace along with hostages back to Samaria.Later Years of Amaziah (vv.15–22): Jehoash dies, and his son Jeroboam II becomes king of Israel. Amaziah outlives Jehoash by 15 years, but later a conspiracy arises against him in Jerusalem, and he flees to Lachish, where he is killed. His body is brought back and buried in Jerusalem. His son Azariah (Uzziah) becomes king and rebuilds Elath for Judah.Jeroboam II in Israel (vv.23–29): Jeroboam II, son of Jehoash, reigns in Samaria for 41 years. He continues in the sins of Jeroboam I. However, under God's mercy, Israel regains lost territories, from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, fulfilling the word spoken through Jonah son of Amittai. Jeroboam II's reign strengthens Israel, though spiritually the nation remains corrupt.Key Themes in 2 Kings 14:Partial obedience – Amaziah follows God's law in some ways but not fully.Pride leads to downfall – Amaziah's arrogance after victory over Edom causes Judah's defeat.God's mercy to Israel – Despite their sin, God shows compassion by restoring their land under Jeroboam II.The cycle of kings – Success and failure alternate, showing the fragility of earthly leadership compared to God's enduring rule.

Pastor Andy Cass What if the tension you feel at the table isn't a problem to solve, but an opportunity to grow? This week in At the Movies, we explore the tension at the table. In Luke 22, Jesus shares a final meal with His disciples, but arguments rise about greatness, expectations, and who deserves the best seat. Communion was never meant to be exclusive—it was always meant to be expansive. At the Lord's Table, tension is not the enemy—it's the opportunity. Communion isn't just a meal we consume; it's a mission we live. When we embrace the tension instead of avoiding it, the table becomes a place of service, sacrifice, and sending. Moral of the Story: Invite the tension. Make room at the table. Go get one more. Supporting Scriptures: Luke 22:14, 24–27, James 2, Luke 14, 1 Corinthians 11:20–22 Big Idea: The table isn't for the polished; it's for the hungry. Tension at the table is the chance to look more like Jesus—shifting from selfishness to service, and from comfort to open-handed generosity. Key Themes & Takeaways: From “What's in it for me?” → “What's here for others?” Encouragement, hope, healing, and life change. From “Expecting etiquette” → “Embrace the awkward.” Who's your “Bob” you need to welcome? From “Comfort is king” → “Give up your seat.” Make space for someone new. From “Hoarding” → “Give with open hands.” Share meals, resources, and love. Call and Response- The table isn't the end… It's the send! We don't just gather to eat… We scatter to invite! We leave full… So others can come hungry! We carry the bread… Until the world is fed!

Welcome to Wellspring Church!This Celebration Sunday—also known as Vision Sunday—Pastor Billy Waters preached from Matthew 28 on the Great Commission. He reminded us that Jesus' command to “make disciples of all nations” is not optional but the central calling of the Church. Programs, praise, and property are good gifts, but without true discipleship, we miss the heart of our mission.Looking to Psalm 1 and Jesus' parables, Pastor Billy emphasized that deep roots in God's Word and presence always lead to greater fruit. Over the past year, we've seen this lived out in powerful ways: 40 baptisms, growing youth and children's ministries, more than 50 discipleship groups, and God's abundant provision through generosity.As a church, we are entering a new season with a refreshed vision statement: “Here as it is in heaven.” This captures our call to live out deeper roots in Jesus and greater fruit for Jesus—so that our homes, neighborhoods, and city reflect the reality of heaven.
