THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-34| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Rest Beyond the Wedding Ring. In this stirring episode of the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast, we explore the sacred wisdom tucked within the Book of Ruth 1:9 and 3:1–7, it is a message that speaks directly to the heart of every woman preparing for marriage and every home longing for peace. Ruth's story isn't just about finding a husband; it's about finding rest in the house of her husband. And that distinction changes everything. Key Episode Highlights: - Rest Is the Real Home: A cubicle filled with rest is more of a home than a mansion filled with strife. Discover why rest—not real estate—is the true foundation of a godly marriage. - The Battle Within the Walls: Trouble in a home isn't random—it's a sign of spiritual interference. Learn how to stop describing the enemy and start confronting him with authority. - Flesh vs. Weakness: Many issues in homes aren't just emotional—they're spiritual. Recognize the difference between weakness and the works of the flesh, and take action. - Cultural Awareness & Prayer Strategy: Before you say “I do,” understand the cultural forces at play. Strategic prayer begins with spiritual intelligence—especially when praying for rest in marriage. - Marriage Is More Than a Ceremony: Entering a husband's house is one thing. Entering and finding rest is another. This episode reveals why rest is the true reward of covenant love. Key Notes to Remember: - Rest is not automatic—it must be cultivated, protected, and prayed into existence. - A restless house is no better than no marriage at all. - The devil thrives on attention. Don't describe him—deal with him. - Gratitude, spiritual authority, and intentional prayer are tools for building a restful home. - Cultural practices can influence spiritual climates—know them, and pray wisely. Beloved, whether you're single, engaged, newly married, or standing in the gap for someone else, this episode offers clarity, courage, and spiritual insight. Ruth's journey reminds us that rest is not a luxury—it's a necessity. And it's worth fighting for. Tune in now to the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast and be inspired to build homes that host peace, honor God, and reflect His design for lasting love. Jesus is Lord.
THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD'S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-33| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA In this empowering episode of the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast, we journey through the timeless beauty of the Book of Ruth 1:8—a verse that opens the door to a powerful revelation that, true humility births unshakable security. When your identity is anchored in Christ, insecurity loses its grip, and love flows freely from a heart that knows it is held. Key Episode Highlights: - Security in Christ: Discover why humility isn't weakness—it's the gateway to spiritual confidence. You'll see how being secure in Christ transforms how you value and relate to others. - The Overflow of Love: If you long for love, give it. If you want more, pour more. Love is not transactional—it's transformational. And it begins with you. - Gratitude as Strength: Gratitude isn't just a virtue—it's a spiritual force. It reveals wisdom, character, and the ability to see beyond yourself. It turns fleeting moments into lasting impressions. - Authority Redefined: True kingship isn't found in robes or titles—it's found in the posture of a grateful heart. Gratitude elevates relationships from surface-level encounters to enduring bonds. - Kindness & Legacy: Kindness is the seed, but gratitude is the tool that gathers the harvest. Learn how gratitude builds bridges across generations, just as David honored Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9. Key Notes to Remember: - Gratitude is the graciousness of the heart expressed through the mouth. - Love overwhelms a grateful soul—it asks not what someone has done, but who they are. - Gratitude cements relationships—it's the difference between a good impression and a lasting legacy. - Transgenerational relationships are built by good men who remember, honor, and give thanks. - Be intentional. Be selfless. Let gratitude be your legacy. Beloved, whether you are seeking spiritual clarity, relational wisdom, or a renewed sense of purpose, this episode offers a rich truth woven with grace. Ruth's story isn't just ancient—it's alive in every act of humility, every word of thanks, and every seed of kindness sown today. Tune in, reflect, and let your heart be stirred toward a life of love, gratitude, and generational impact. Jesus is Lord

How do you go from giving short, tip-focused talks to inspiring audiences with a full keynote? That's exactly the journey our guest has taken and it's one so many of us can learn from. Our lead speaking coach Diane Diaz talks with Elaine Schomburg-LaFleur, a senior project engineer who has spent over 20 years in the theme park industry, including at Disney. Elaine thought of herself as “the tip girl” - packing her presentations with lots of helpful advice. But when she was invited to give her first keynote, she realized she needed a new approach. With the help of a VIP Day and our in-person Speaking Accelerator workshop, Elaine discovered how to weave stories into her talks, connect emotionally with her audience, and step into her authentic speaking style. The result? Not only did she deliver a powerful keynote to a room of young women engineers, she also caught the “speaking bug” and has continued landing and delivering talks that inspire. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Elaine's transition from sharing only tips to becoming an inspiring keynote speaker How storytelling makes even technical topics more engaging and memorable The role of authenticity in building confidence and audience connection What Elaine gained from practicing in community and receiving real-time feedback How she continues to grow her visibility and speaking career through LinkedIn and pitching opportunities Elaine's story is proof that you don't have to change who you are to be a great speaker - you just need to unlock the authentic voice that's already within you. About Our Guest: Elaine Schomburg-LaFleur is a Senior Project Engineer at AOA and has over 22 years of experience in the entertainment industry, leading projects in engineering, design, and technical management for major theme parks. She balances big-picture strategy with technical detail to bring projects to life. Outside of work, she's a certified sommelier, teaches wine classes, and mentors with the Society of Women Engineers.

The journey from circus performer to respected software developer isn't a common career path, but Aji Slater navigates it with the same thoughtful precision he applies to code. As a former Ringling Brothers clown who now leads development teams at ThoughtBot, Aji brings a refreshingly unique perspective to technical challenges and community contribution.Diving into his current work with a 12-13 year old Rails codebase, Aji shares his struggles with an Angular frontend implemented in non-standard ways. Despite his graphic design background and comfort with frontend development, the architectural decisions in this Angular implementation present significant challenges. His approach to overcoming these obstacles reveals a thoughtful balance between leveraging AI tools for understanding code while preserving the creative problem-solving aspects that make development enjoyable.The conversation shifts to Aji's crowning achievement—his "Keynote of Keynotes" presentation at RailsConf that earned him the title of "RailsConf World Champion" from Aaron Patterson. This monumental project required watching 94 hours of past keynotes, tracking down information about 16 presentations that weren't recorded, and synthesizing two decades of Rails community wisdom. Through this archaeological deep-dive, Aji uncovered a powerful throughline in Rails history: the focus on shared solutions that make developers "stronger together than if we were working alone."Aji's reflections on public speaking reveal surprising insights about performance anxiety. Despite having performed for crowds of 24,000 during his circus days, he still experiences nervousness before technical presentations—though of a different quality than most speakers face. His upcoming move to Scotland adds another fascinating dimension to his story, as he discovers the limitations of UK-focused resources that often neglect Scottish cultural specifics.Whether discussing his frustrations with Keynote (the presentation software), sharing his thoughts on ADHD in technical work, or explaining why he named his dog after Jim Henson, Aji demonstrates the warmth, humor, and thoughtful perspective that have made him a beloved figure in the Ruby community. His story reminds us that the most interesting developers often bring their whole, multifaceted selves to their work.Connect with Aji on Bluesky at doodlingdev and watch for his upcoming short technical talks on YouTube!Send us some love.

Episode 100: What started as a passion project has turned into a full career pivot!Four years ago, I hit record on the first episode of my podcast.I had no big plans. Just one question I couldn't stop thinking about:How do we live a good life?So I started How to Live.Shared what I'd learned.Stayed curious.Kept listening.Then something magical happened.I got a message from my old BCG boss, Dean Tong.We hadn't spoken in 15 years.He'd stumbled upon the podcast. We met.Talked about Stoicism, Buddhism, and Purpose.Then he invited me to speak at UOB Bank, where he was the Chief HR Officer.I was nervous. It was a corporate setting.I had a meditation exercise planned. Would it land?Dean said:“Don't worry. I'll take the risk. Just do your best.”That support changed everything.The talk worked.It led to more sessions. More companies.And one day I realised - this wasn't a side project anymore.It was a new path.Keynotes. Workshops. Leadership Programs.Helping leaders reconnect with purpose, reach their next peak, and navigate uncertainty with resilience.It felt meaningful.And it could pay the bills.So I took the leap.Sold my digital agency. Went all in.Today, I've led over 75 workshops across four continents with companies like Google, Unilever, HSBC, and Mastercard.And I've seen how powerful ancient wisdom can be in modern leadership.The podcast has grown beyond my wildest dreams too. Ranked in the top 3% globally and listened to in 150 countries.The lesson?When you do what you love with honesty and passion, it's infectious.People are watching. People are listening, even if they never like or comment.(Dean didn't either.)But sometimes, just one of them can change the trajectory of your entire life.
