We have this ridiculously big idea in front of us and a tool to make it happen, and I believe that we're going to do this.Locally controlled community investment funds can help communities keep wealth circulating at home rather than watching outside capital extract it.That is the big idea Chris Miller, founding board member and chair of the National Coalition for Community Capital, brought to this episode. Chris and I have been talking about community capital for years. What makes this moment exciting is that NC3 is moving from education and advocacy into replicable, on-the-ground fund creation.Chris described NC3 as “a decade-old overnight success.” The organization grew out of the early investment crowdfunding movement, including the passage of state-level crowdfunding exemptions like the Michigan law Chris helped champion in 2013.For years, NC3 trained communities and entrepreneurs on the promise of community capital. Then Chris had a humbling experience. After working with more than 100 Michigan communities that had used donation crowdfunding for public spaces, he expected to help many of them shift into investment crowdfunding for local businesses and real estate. Instead, only a couple of projects moved forward.That failure became insight. “It's not rocket science, but there's no ecosystem,” Chris said. “There's a very small ecosystem supporting this really radical change in how capital can flow in our communities.”That realization led NC3 to create its Community Capital Accelerator and what it now calls the Diversified Community Investment Fund. The structure uses real estate as a foundation. Once 60 percent of a fund is invested in real estate, the fund can invest in other local priorities, often businesses.NC3 has helped build funds in Rhode Island, Detroit and Petoskey, Michigan. It is working actively in four more communities, with a pipeline of 12 to 18 additional prospects. With support from Kresge, NC3 is also partnering with the International Economic Development Council to work with 21 communities.Chris's vision is rooted in local control. He warned that too many communities now depend on outside businesses whose model is to put in as little as possible and take out as much as possible.“We have to get back to the place where we again decide what happens in our communities and have the opportunity to make investments into those projects and businesses and housing so that we can reap the benefit of it,” Chris said.The goal is not just more capital. It is more democratic capital, more local ownership and more resilient communities.“We have to take a dollar into our community,” Chris said. “We have to pass it around five or six or 10 or 12 times in order to really build wealth.”tl;dr:Chris Miller and NC3 are building community investment funds that let local residents invest locally.Diversified Community Investment Funds use real estate structures to unlock broader community business investment.Chris sees extractive outside capital draining wealth from towns and wants dollars recirculating locally.NC3 has launched or developed funds in Rhode Island, Detroit and Petoskey with more coming.Naivete helps Chris pursue huge goals, move legislation quickly and keep pushing despite obstacles.How to Develop Naivete As a SuperpowerChris named his superpower with a smile: “What I've decided my superpower is now is naivete.” He explained that NC3 is pursuing “this ridiculously big idea” of putting community investment funds everywhere, adding, “I believe that we're going to do this.” To Chris, naivete is not ignorance. It is the willingness to imagine a better system before the current one gives permission. “As long as people don't keep saying this is a bad idea to us, we're going to be naive enough to imagine this happening across the country,” he said.Chris's favorite example came from Michigan in 2013. With no prior experience passing securities legislation, he helped introduce a state investment crowdfunding law in August. By December, he was in the governor's office watching it be signed. The bill passed with just one no vote across both chambers. That early success showed him that big systems could move quickly when passion, relationships and the right idea aligned. Soon after, he helped a neighboring community use the law for a microbrewery raise that filled so fast he missed the chance to invest himself.Hold a dream big enough to pull you through hard work and uncertainty.Start from genuine care for people, communities and shared opportunity.Stand up, say something and do something before you have every answer.Treat difficulty as expected, not disqualifying: say, “So what? Let's do it anyway.”Build relationships with people who share the vision and can bring skills you lack.Use early wins to prove to yourself and others that broken systems can change.Stay naive enough to believe change is possible and prepared enough to execute well.By following Chris's example and advice, you can make naivete a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileChris Miller (he/him):Founding Board Member and Chair, National Coalition for Community CapitalAbout National Coalition for Community Capital: NC3 works to advance the Community Capital movement. This engagement of regular (retail) investors into businesses and projects in their own communities empowers citizens while it builds financial resilience and wealth for individuals and communities.Website: NC3now.orgBiographical Information: Chris Miller is chair and one of the founding board members of the National Coalition for Community Capital, a 501c3. Among NC3's goals are to empower ordinary citizens and strengthen local economies though community investment and ownership, with particular attention to wealth-building by non-accredited investors and to underserved populations and communities. Chris has been working on community, economic, and entrepreneur development in Michigan for nearly 20 years in a variety of roles, including as an appointed and elected city official, as a board member and frequent chair of a variety of community and economic development organizations, as a partner with student teams from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, as an Innovation Fellow at the Michigan State University EDA Center for Regional and Economic Innovation, and as the City of Adrian's economic developer. During that time, in addition to securing millions of grant dollars and matching private investments, he also developed a local investor group, led a community business plan competition, and worked with local schools to implement entrepreneurship education. While working his day job in Adrian, he also introduced and championed Michigan's MILE – an investment crowdfunding exemption that served as a national model, and he currently has introduced legislation that would create a first in the nation investment incentive available to any state resident regardless of wealth. During 2023, Chris worked extensively on a new program the International Economic Development Council developed called the Economic Recovery Corps. Funded with Cares Act dollars from the Economic Development Administration, 65 ERC Fellows were awarded to 65 hosts from across the county. The Fellows will work full time with their hosts for 2.5 years addressing underserved communities in a variety of economic and community development projects. NC3 was awarded a Fellow to work in Michigan in the start-up and incubator space, adding community investors to capital required by new or expanding businesses. Over the past decade Chris has spoken across the country on the promise and future of community capital, while also working on the ground on donation and investment crowdfunding campaigns with communities and entrepreneurs. Chris is the developer and lead for NC3's Community Capital Accelerator which is now piloting NC3's Diversified Community Investment Fund in large projects in Detroit, Michigan and Cincinnati, Ohio, and expects to see the launch of funds in Rhode Island and Petoskey, Michigan in 2024. In addition, the organization is working on projects in nearly a dozen states. Today, Chris and his wife Joyce own and live in a 170-year-old downtown Adrian building where they renovated the commercial floor for The Buzz Café and Marketplace. Joyce and her business partners opened The Buzz during COVID, after an investment crowdfunding campaign which received investment from 45 investors in 7 different states. When not working on their building renovation, Chris led the team that brought PlaneWave Instruments from California to Michigan, and now serves as their Special Projects Consultant. In that role Chris serves as the primary community and education outreach lead, manages campus arts partners, and works with economic development organizations as well as State and Federal governments to secure resources for PlaneWave. From their headquarters in Michigan, PlaneWave leads the world in the design and manufacture of high-tech observatory class research telescopes.LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/nc3nowSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Have you ever considered the true weight of your words? In this sermon from our summer Proverbs series, we examine how speech impacts every area of our lives—from self-talk and family dynamics to the workplace and online community.While we often try to control our speech through willpower, Scripture points to a deeper reality: you don't have a mouth problem, you have a heart problem. Drawing from Proverbs, James 3, and Matthew 12, this message reveals why human effort alone can't tame the tongue, and how letting Jesus transform your heart changes everything that comes out of your mouth.Key Scriptures:Proverbs 12:18Proverbs 16:23-24Proverbs 18:21James 3:3-12Ephesians 4:29Matthew 12:33-35Your words are never neutral—they are either planting seeds or growing weeds. What will you fill your heart with this week?If this message encouraged or challenged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it!

Ever look around and feel like the world is full of more foolishness than ever before? The truth is, we all have a version of that "No Ragrets" tattoo—a past decision, a word spoken in anger, or a habit we wish we could ink backwards.In this kickoff message for our summer series, Learning Curve, we dive deep into Proverbs 4 to discover why so much of our regret comes from a lack of wisdom diagnosed too late. King Solomon isn't just giving us information; he's giving us a roadmap to build a life free of preventable pain.Real wisdom isn't just about what you know—it's about seeing life the way God sees it and having the practical skill to live like it's true.In this video, you'll discover:The "Get" Factor: Why real wisdom requires a dogged, relentless pursuit (like a bird dog on the hunt!).Guard Your Heart: Why the cultural advice to "follow your heart" is dangerous, and how to protect the life-source of your decisions.The Ultimate Guide: How shifting from a proud heart to a "hearing heart" changes your entire trajectory.Ultimately, wisdom has a name, and His name is Jesus. If you are tired of playing dumb games and winning dumb prizes, it's time to pursue the one who can redeem every past regret and heal every foolish wound.

In this message, we dive into one of the most dramatic, publicly charged encounters in all of the Gospels: The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8:1–11).When the self-righteous religious leaders tried to use a woman's shame as a weapon to trap Jesus, He flipped the script. Instead of throwing a stone, He stooped to her level, silenced her accusers, and offered her something completely unexpected: scandalous grace paired with a call to holiness.If you are carrying a label the world gave you—"damaged," "failure," "not good enough"—this video is a reminder that the enemy wants to condemn you, but Jesus wants to consecrate you.Key Takeaways from This Message:The Trap of Self-Righteousness: Why it's so easy to become an expert at spotting other people's brokenness to avoid dealing with our own.Condemnation vs. Consecration: Condemnation says you are what you did and labels you unfit for use. Consecration says you belong to God and you are deeply valuable.Grace First, Freedom Next: Why trying to "white-knuckle" holiness without first experiencing real grace will only turn you into a Pharisee.Scripture References:John 7:53–8:11Philippians 2:6-8Matthew 5:27-291 Corinthians 6:18Romans 8:1-2Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

We get stories about Brightmoor, parenting a kid with a big vocabulary (our own Norris Howard), and what it means to move beyond Motown nostalgia and look to the future... while still holding on to the good memories. This is the beginning of an occasional series on Detroiters, focusing on those not always lifted up in the media.  Feedback as always — dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or leave a voicemail, 313-789-3211.

We live in a world that screams at us to chase status, success, and "stuff"—but none of it stands the test of time. In this message, we look at the final moments of King David's life.As he prepares to take his final breath, he doesn't give Solomon a list of political strategies; he gives him a charge for his soul.What are you passing on to the next generation? Is it something temporary, or something eternal?"Strength isn't about control; it's about surrender, discipline, and the commitment to live according to God's calling."If this message challenged you to rethink what you're building your life on, please Like this message and Subscribe to our channel for more teaching through the Life of David.Scripture References:1 Kings 2:1-4Ecclesiastes 12Psalm 19:7-10Psalm 119:112Proverbs 3:5-6Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

What if the most "lopsided trade" in history wasn't a sports deal or a land grab, but a courtroom exchange 2,000 years ago? We often look at the story of Barabbas as a historical footnote, but the truth is much more personal: We are Barabbas.In this message, we kick off our Easter series by looking at the "Great Exchange." We explore the notorious figure of Barabbas—a rebel, a thief, and a murderer—who walked free while the innocent Son of God took his place on the cross.Whether you are carrying a "scarlet letter" of shame, struggling with a rebellious heart, or feeling defined by your past mistakes, this sermon is a reminder that grace isn't a fair trade—it's a gift. God treated Jesus like Barabbas so that He could treat you like Jesus.[Scripture References]Mark 15:1-151 Peter 2:22Philippians 2:6-82 Corinthians 5:21If this message encouraged you, please Like the video and Subscribe to our channel to follow along with our Easter series.Are you ready to make the "Great Exchange" today?

They could be places that are central to today and tomorrow."To celebrate Women's History Month, we are dedicating this episode to a true titan of the Japanese American community: the late Irene Hirano Inouye. As the longtime CEO of the Japanese American National Museum (JANM) and founder of the U.S.-Japan Council, Irene's vision turned a "mess" of an old temple building into an international landmark and a permanent home for our stories.In this deep dive, we explore Irene's journey from a service-driven childhood in Gardena to leading national foundations like Ford and Kresge.

This powerful exploration of 2 Samuel 11 confronts us with one of Scripture's most sobering warnings about the danger of success and complacency. We journey through David's catastrophic fall from grace, witnessing how a man described as having an IQ of 135-145, a brilliant warrior, poet, and king who represented Christ's kindness in chapter 9, becomes unrecognizable in chapter 11. The message reveals a haunting truth: success can be far more dangerous than failure because it tempts us to shift from 'God will make me great' to 'look at all the greatness I have accomplished.' We see David's moral collapse unfold through what's called the 'lust verb progression'—walked around, saw, sent—each step taking him further from God's calling. The contrast between David on the rooftop and Uriah on the mat becomes a mirror for our own lives. Uriah, the faithful warrior, demonstrates more integrity drunk than David had sober, refusing to enjoy comfort while his brothers suffered in battle. This narrative challenges us to examine our own 'I will nots'—those boundary lines we establish to protect our souls from compromise. The devastating truth emerges that all it takes to drift spiritually is nothing—doing nothing in our marriages, parenting, or walk with God creates the conditions for moral collapse. We're reminded that sexual sin uniquely damages the soul, which is why Scripture commands us to flee rather than fight it. This isn't just ancient history; it's a contemporary warning about power, lust, objectification, and the dehumanizing impact of sin that reduces people from beloved image-bearers to objects for our consumption.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

This weeks message is by guest preacher Mark Kresge.

In a world that rushes us through grief with kitschy platitudes and "get 'er done" culture, David does something shocking: He stops. He stops the nation, stops the coronation, and stops the economy to sit in the heavy, agonizing space of the soul.In this message, we dive into the "never-ness" of loss. From the heartbreak of losing a loyal family protector like Remi to the gut-wrenching grief David felt for Saul and Jonathan, we explore why 60% of the Psalms are songs of lament while 90% of our modern worship is upbeat. Is our faith big enough to hold our sorrow?Join us as we learn how to grieve well, why death feels so "unnatural," and how God meets us in the pit—not with empty explanations, but with hands that are engraved with our names.Key Takeaways:The Necessity of Lament: Why skipping the "bad feelings" short-circuits our healing and our faith.Presence over Platitudes: Why "everything happens for a reason" often hurts more than it helps, and what to do instead.Honoring the Messy: How David honored Saul's life despite the deep wounds Saul caused him.The "Why" of Suffering: Distinguishing between the consequences of a broken world and the refining heart of God.Hope for the Hurting: The powerful imagery of a God who tattoos your name on His palm and promises to personally wipe every tear from your eye."Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy." — Psalm 126:5Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

What if the most uncomfortable moments in our lives are actually divine appointments waiting to unfold?This message from Ryan Kresge challenges us to recognize that God doesn't just call us to gather in sanctuaries on weekends - He sends us on mission every single day into our workplaces, schools, and communities.Through a gripping roadside encounter that began with frustration and ended with life-saving intervention, we're reminded that obedience often requires us to turn around when we've already passed by an opportunity.The vision explored here centers on Colossians 4:5, urging us to 'be wise in the ways we act towards outsiders and make the most of every opportunity.' We learn that vision doesn't live on screens or in buildings - it lives in our daily schedules, our calendars, and the marketplace where we spend most of our waking hours.The radical truth presented is that we cannot follow Jesus and remain comfortable. From supporting affordable housing initiatives to mentoring vulnerable children through Kids Hope, from packing over half a million meals for Eswatini to simply showing up with kindness in our workplaces, we're called to be ambassadors who bring peace, wholeness, and completeness to broken spaces.The message is clear: freed people free people, healed people heal people, and forgiven people forgive people.Our mission field isn't somewhere distant - it's right where we are, waiting for us to look alive and notice the opportunities God places before us.Website: https://impact.churchFacebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHomeInstagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHomeYouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

From her living room in Romulus, 94-year-old Ardena Vaughn takes us from Black Bottom to the “tracks” in Romulus, weaving a lifetime of memories that tell the story of Legacy Black Detroit's past and its unfinished future. Born at Herman Kiefer and raised on Cameron Street, Ardena remembers marching in the alley when “Joe Louis would win” with tin tubs and cans, feeling the whole block erupt when the Brown Bomber put Detroit on the map. She recalls walking past the Chesterfield Lounge, hearing Dinah Washington and the hum of Black nightlife she was “too young to understand, but old enough to feel.” In this conversation she breaks down what it meant to move from the heart of the city to Romulus in the 1940s, where “the tracks” literally divided Black and white neighborhoods. Ardena shares how she became the first Black supervisor at a micro-measurements plant supplying airplanes and automobiles—“I don't even know how I got that job.” She talks about Saturdays riding back into the city for piano lessons, eating hot waffles with ice cream Kresge, and then coming home to build a life rooted in AME church, choir, and family. Still, her wisdom for future generations is simple: “Love everybody… try to be a good example… stay busy.” She still drives her 20-year-old Grand Am, still hosts the holidays, and still plays weekly Scrabble.

This exploration of jealousy by Ryan Kresge takes us deep into 1 Samuel 18, where we witness the devastating contrast between Jonathan's covenant friendship with David and King Saul's descent into bitter jealousy.We discover that jealousy doesn't announce itself with fanfare - it begins subtly, with seeds of insecurity and comparison that quietly take root in our souls.The message reveals how Saul, despite being the honored guest at a victory celebration, became consumed by a single line in a song comparing his thousands to David's tens of thousands.What should have been a shared triumph became poison in his heart. This ancient story mirrors our modern struggles with comparison - whether it's scrolling through social media, measuring our marriages against others, watching our hunting buddy shoot bigger bucks, or even comparing ministry impact through YouTube views.The message exposes how jealousy progresses from internal resentment to external violence, opening doors to spiritual harm and eventually turning our hearts against God Himself!Yet we're not left without hope - we're given four transformative practices: cultivating generosity in our assumptions and actions, practicing gratitude when comparison tempts us, publicly celebrating those we're tempted to envy, and praying genuinely for rather than about them.The challenge is clear: jealousy rots our bones, but a heart at peace with God gives life not only to ourselves but to everyone around us.Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

In this powerful exploration of 1 Samuel 16, we delve into the story of David's anointing as king, uncovering profound truths about God's perspective and our own.We're reminded that while humans often focus on outward appearances, God looks at the heart. This challenges us to examine our own priorities and consider where we're investing our time and resources.Are we more concerned with our external image or the condition of our inner being? The narrative of Samuel seeking God's chosen king among Jesse's sons teaches us about obedience, humility, and the unexpected ways God works.We're encouraged to cultivate hearts that truly desire what God desires, recognizing that it's not our qualifications or appearances that matter most, but our willingness to be used by Him.This message invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journey and consider how we might align our hearts more closely with God's will.

In this exploration of Romans 8:31-34 by Ryan Kresge, we're reminded of God's unwavering support and love for us.The central message is clear: if God is for us, who can be against us?This isn't just a comforting phrase, but a profound truth that should shape our entire worldview. We're challenged to shift our perspective from self-centered thinking to God-centered living.Ryan uses the analogy of a tough, supportive father to illustrate God's strength and protection in our lives. We're encouraged to find freedom in realizing that while God is for us, life isn't about us - it's about Him.This shift in focus can liberate us from the prison of our circumstances and lead us to unshakable peace.The message reminds us of God's ultimate sacrifice - giving His own Son for our salvation - as proof of His commitment to provide for all our needs.As we internalize these truths, we're invited to live with confidence, knowing that we have the ultimate 'legislator' interceding for us in Christ Jesus.Website: https://impact.churchFacebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome

In this powerful message on transformation, we're reminded that change is not just possible, but essential to our Christian walk.The key scripture, 2 Corinthians 3:18, beautifully illustrates how we are 'being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.' This gradual process of becoming more like Christ is compared to an acorn's slow but mighty ability to break through concrete. We're challenged to reframe our thinking, rewire our emotions, and redress our behaviors. The story of Peter's transformation from denial to martyrdom serves as a poignant example of God's patient work in our lives. How encouraging to know that God's divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life! Let's embrace this journey of change, trusting that He who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion.Website: https://impact.church

In this powerful exploration of authenticity, we're challenged to embrace our true selves as God created us. The message from Ryan Kresge centers on Romans 7, where Paul bares his soul, admitting his ongoing struggles with sin.This raw honesty reminds us that even spiritual giants face internal battles, and it's through acknowledging our weaknesses that Christ's power is made perfect. We're encouraged to stop hiding behind facades and instead risk vulnerability, especially in our closest relationships.The sermon draws parallels between physical healing and spiritual growth, emphasizing that just as wounds need exposure to light and air to heal, our souls need exposure to God's light and the support of trusted companions to truly flourish.This message invites us to consider: Are we living authentically in all areas of our lives, or are we still hiding parts of ourselves from God and others?Website: https://www.impact.church

In this powerful message from Ryan Kresge, we're challenged to embrace innovation in our faith journey.The story of the paralytic man in Mark 2 serves as a testament to the transformative power of desperate faith and unwavering friendship. We're reminded that true innovation in the church means being 'chain breakers, not barrier makers.' This calls us to step out of our comfort zones, to risk embarrassment, and to do whatever it takes to bring others to Jesus. The message emphasizes that while miracles are incredible, the forgiveness of sins is the greatest miracle Jesus performs.It challenges us to share our faith boldly, serve in our local church, remove obstacles for others, and live with the expectation that God will change lives. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: Are we living with the kind of faith that brings people to Jesus? Are we willing to 'rip the roof off' to help someone encounter Christ?Website: https://impact.churchInstagram: https://instagram.com/impactchurchhomeFacebook: https://facebook.com/impactchurchhome
