Podcasts about lasts

We're wrapping up the year with your most-downloaded episodes—the ones that helped you grow smarter, simplify faster, and work less without losing momentum.  What if you could make MORE money while posting LESS on social media? Sounds impossible, right? But here's the reality—social media engagement doesn't always equal revenue (and most of the time, it doesn't!). In today's episode, I share:Why posting daily isn't a business strategy (and what actually makes you money!)The biggest myth keeping you stuck in an Instagram-first marketing strategyWhere your dream clients REALLY are in 2025 (hint: they're searching for you, not scrolling past you!)The 3-part framework to marketing smarter, not louder 

In this episode, Abdu Murray and Derek Caldwell address two important questions submitted by viewers—one about the origins of Christian belief, and one about sharing the Christian faith with people from different backgrounds.  1. "Is Jesus just a copy of Zoroaster?" We examine the popular claim that Christianity borrowed its key ideas from ancient Zoroastrianism. Did concepts like judgment, resurrection, or a final savior come from Persian religion? We walk through what the historical evidence actually shows and let the scholars speak.  2. "How should we engage people who are more difficult to reach, such as Jews, Muslims, or others who approach faith differently?" We talk about how to have meaningful conversations with people from various worldviews, and how to help your children prepare for the beliefs they will encounter.    In this episode, we mentioned several resources. Here are a few in order of their mention:  -Derek's blog on the Old and New Testaments and Zoroastrianism: https://embracethetruth.org/blog/was-jesus-just-a-zoroastrian-knockoff/  -Edwin Yamauchi's book, Persia and the Bible (Baker, 1996)  -Abdu's conversation with Jewish convert David Shapiro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzcUHwFu3Dk -Mama Bear Apologetics: https://mamabearapologetics.com/  -Cameron and Stuart McAllister's book, Faith that Lasts (IVP, 2021)  -The Museum of Created Beauty: https://museumofcreatedbeauty.org/   -Xandra Grieme and Ken Boa's Created Beauty series of books (check out Nebulae here: https://a.co/d/2umJIGs).

As this year winds to a close and new year soon begins, many of us will soon be making resolutions to start fresh—but there's one commitment that carries eternal impact: growing deeper in God's Word. In this inspiring episode, host Patti Garibay, American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus, sits down with author and Bible teacher Trillia Newbell to explore how parents can help their daughters develop a faith that endures for a lifetime.  Through her newest resource, 52 Weeks in the Word: Student Edition, Trillia invites kids and families to experience the joy of reading Scripture together—from Matthew to Revelation—discovering that time in God's Word is not a task to complete, but a relationship to cultivate. Patti and Trillia discuss practical ways families can weave Scripture into everyday life, from dinner table conversations to bedtime devotions, and how simple consistency can yield powerful spiritual growth.  Whether your daughter is just beginning to explore the Bible or already loves studying it, this episode will equip you to nurture her curiosity, deepen her understanding, and inspire her to treasure God's Word in her heart. It's a gentle reminder that faith grows not through grand gestures, but through the steady planting of small seeds—one verse, one prayer, one act of trust at a time.  Learn more about Trillia's books—including 52 Weeks in the Word: Student Edition—at trillianewbell.com. Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. Find or start an AHG Troop in your area at americanheritagegirls.org.

Divorce grief can feel like it's breaking you… but what if the grief you're feeling after divorce isn't a setback, but a signal — a call inward, a call back to yourself?In this powerful episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, Erica sits down with grief educator Suzanne Jabour to unpack the truth about grief after divorce — why it lingers, why it surprises you, and why it shows up in the quiet moments when the kids are at their other home or when you're washing a single dish for one.Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and identity-shifting layers of divorce grief: why “doing everything right” never protects you from the waves, why your brain stops working during major loss, and why even the most empowered decision can still knock you flat.

Send us a textWhat if you stopped chasing magnetic north—the shifting pull of trends, approval, and quick wins—and locked onto a true north you can actually describe? That's the pivot David Ask lays out as we unpack the real difference between grit and resilience, and how creators can build a voice that lasts in a noisy podcasting world.We start with David's retail success story and the hard lessons that came with it, then move into a simple, powerful model: grit is the long push toward a worthy outcome; resilience is the speed at which you bounce back to your shape after a hit. The shape matters. Without a defined identity—values, convictions, and the work that gives you goosebumps—every setback feels personal. With it, you rebound faster, choose better, and keep shipping even when guests cancel, interviews fall flat, or formats change.Along the way, we draw a line between starting with who and starting with why. When you start with who, your why stops being borrowed from giants and becomes grounded in your own strengths. That shift powers a virtuous loop: acting as yourself creates a specific dent in the world, and that feedback reinforces your identity. We talk about resisting the urge to copy big shows, using authenticity to guide content and guest choices, and reframing on-air mistakes as human moments that build trust. We also explore how to raise grit at home and in teams by “mining for gold” in others, revealing their strengths instead of performing for applause.If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or creator trying to build a durable show, this conversation gives you practical cues and a deeper compass. Define your true north, bring grit to the climb, and use resilience to return to form quickly when you fall. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs a steadier compass today.Support the showGot a question about something you heard today?

Father Hudgins' homily: What Lasts and What Doesn't

In this episode of More Than Roommates, Derek, Gabrielle, and Scott share five priorities that shape a faithful life and marriage, drawing insight from Dr. Gary Chapman's long obedience in the same direction. They walk through what it looks like to keep Jesus first, prioritize your spouse and kids, live on mission together, and aim to finish faithful to the very end.Questions to Discuss:1. Who was your favorite teacher when you were growing up? Share with your spouse.2. What does look like to be faithful for you right now in your current season of life?3. When you look at your current rhythms, what (honestly) seems like your true first priority—Jesus, marriage, kids, work, comfort, or something else?4. Which of the five priorities (Jesus, spouse, kids, mission, finishing faithful) do you sense the Lord highlighting most strongly for this season?Scriptures:MT 6:33MT 22:37-40PR 4:23PS 127:32 Corinthians 5:18Hebrews 12:1-22 Cor 4:2ResourcesBook - The 5 Love Languages, by Gary Chapman

A porch write that wouldn't quit, a chorus saved by one repeated word, and a ballad that made Madison Square Garden feel like home—this conversation with Grammy-nominated songwriter Jeff Cohen is a rare look at how hits actually happen. We go deep into the moments that shaped Postcard From Paris, Crazy For This Girl, Holy Water, and In Her Eyes, and trace how small creative choices turn into big career turns.Jeff opens up about starting from the bottom at BMI, spotting talent early, and betting on chemistry over credentials in every room. The Holy Water story shows how three writers locked onto the same truth and built a chorus that breathes; the Crazy For This Girl chapter proves that live reaction often knows before radio does; and the In Her Eyes journey—from a demo crafted for a classical crossover cut to a listener's life-changing email—reveals how songs keep evolving long after they leave the studio. Along the way, we talk practical songwriting craft, verse-to-chorus lift, and the discipline of showing up prepared while staying open to the line that wasn't on the page when you walked in.For creators aiming at sync licensing, Jeff shares a current, tactical playbook: build real relationships with music supervisors, send one or two great tracks at a time, keep rights clean, and accept that trusted catalogs now gatekeep many placements. We also cover why solo writing can reset your voice, how to protect focus in co-writes, and what it means to treat music like a business without losing the spark that started it. The thread through all of this is longevity—balancing Nashville and New York, chasing global opportunities, and choosing collaborators who respect time, craft, and people.If you care about songwriting, sync licensing, A&R instincts, and the mindset that sustains a 25-year career, you'll find tools you can use today and stories you'll remember tomorrow. Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves great songcraft, and leave a review to tell us your biggest takeaway.

What if the real secret to long term leadership is not endurance at all, but learning how not to lose yourself along the way? In this standout episode of Aspire to Lead, Principal Evan Robb returns with a candid and deeply human look at what it truly means to lead for the long game. From becoming a principal at thirty two and opening a school of more than one thousand three hundred students to spending over two decades in the role, Evan shares the honest lessons that titles never teach such as overconfidence, exhaustion, rediscovering balance, and the joy that only comes when you learn to lead yourself first. Joshua and Evan explore what sustainable leadership requires in real, everyday practice. They discuss choosing presence over busyness, building a school where leadership is shared rather than stacked on a single person, and protecting your life outside the building so you can show up grounded and focused inside it. Evan speaks openly about the boundaries that preserved his wellness, the relationships that restored his joy, and the personal belief system that guides every decision he makes. The conversation also highlights how passion projects including writing, speaking, and podcasting can strengthen a leader's growth when they are rooted in service and designed to create real Monday morning impact. Whether you are stepping into leadership for the first time or seeking renewed purpose after many years in the seat, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and actionable guidance to help you build a leadership life that lasts.

Ever had that moment where your reward system just… stops working? The stickers lose their sparkle, the house points barely register, and suddenly every child in your class is asking, “What do I get if I follow the rules?” It's frustrating, it's exhausting, and it leaves you wondering what on earth to try next.In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, we unpack why reward systems lose power over time – and what the science of motivation says we should be doing instead. We'll explore the hedonic treadmill, reward inflation, and the classic study that shows how easy it is to accidentally kill intrinsic motivation in children. And we'll look at why transactional “tit for tat” systems can be especially damaging for pupils with SEMH and SEND needs.Then we'll dig into what actually works long-term. You'll learn how to build behaviour that lasts, how to make motivation stick even when there's a supply teacher in the room, and how to transition away from over-reliance on stickers and points without causing a classroom riot.If you want your pupils to behave well because it's who they are – not because they think they'll earn a token, house point, Dojo and sticker – this episode is for you.Important links:Get your copy of the Classroom Management Scoresheet: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/classroom-management-scoresheetDownload other FREE behaviour resources for use in school: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/resourcesNEW and FREE: Live in-person ADHD training for SENCOs and school leaders in WalsallAre the teachers in your school struggling to meet the needs of your pupils with ADHD?

Starting Something That Lasts What if launching a men's group was less about curriculum and more about culture? In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson, SJ Jennings, and Josh Overton continue their deep-dive into the world of men's ministry. Building on years of experience, they offer practical insights for those looking to start or strengthen a gathering of men rooted in connection, trust, and transformation. The conversation covers everything from establishing a clear culture (hint: "vulnerability" might not be your best word) to navigating existing church dynamics with humility and discernment. They emphasize the importance of starting small, defining clear expectations, and focusing more on friendship than function. Listeners are reminded that success isn't found in numbers or programs—it's in creating a safe space where men can be seen, heard, and known. If you're beginning a group, reimagining one, or mentoring others to lead, this episode offers valuable guardrails and encouragement to build something that lasts.

It's one of the largest transfers of wealth in human history—trillions of dollars moving from one generation to the next. But this moment isn't just about inheritance. It's about passing on faith, values, and a vision for generosity.To explore how younger Christians are reimagining stewardship, we spoke with Christin Fejervary, Vice President for Brand and Experience at the National Christian Foundation (NCF)—a trusted partner helping believers give wisely and joyfully.From Obligation to Joyful GenerosityChristin's passion for generosity began early, though not in the way it's shaped her life today.“As a kid,” she shared, “giving was more of an obligation. I watched my parents tithe every week, and I learned discipline from that—but it wasn't until my 20s and 30s, and especially through working at NCF, that I saw how generosity changes us. It frees us from being tied to the things of this world.”That personal transformation has guided her work—helping others experience the joy that comes when giving is no longer a rule to follow but a relationship with God to live out.What's Driving the Next Generation to GiveWhen it comes to generosity, Millennials and Gen Z are rewriting the playbook.According to NCF's research, millennials—now roughly ages 29 to 44—view philanthropy as part of their identity. For Christian millennials, that identity is deeply spiritual: “My life is a way to give away.”Christin explains:“They believe all resources have equal value—not just money, but time, influence, and relationships. They don't just want to write a check. They want to be part of the change.”This shift from transactional to relational giving marks a profound change from previous generations.Reimagining Traditional ToolsYounger Christians aren't abandoning tools like donor-advised funds, estate plans, or investment portfolios—they're personalizing them.“They want to see impact,” Christin said. “They're asking, ‘How is my giving being used?' and ‘What difference is it making?'”They're also expanding how they define stewardship—using investment portfolios for charitable investing and seeking spiritual returns as much as financial ones.At NCF, this has led to growing interest in community-based giving. Across the country, younger givers are joining together to give collectively, blending faith, friendship, and impact.What Advisors Need to KnowFinancial advisors also play a key role in this transition. But Christin says serving the next generation requires a shift in mindset.“Younger Christians want to co-create their giving plans. They want a seat at the table and a voice in the process. It's not just about managing money—it's about helping them uncover all the ways God's entrusted them to give.”For advisors, that means focusing less on control and more on collaboration, connection, and calling.How Families Can Have Faith-Filled ConversationsGenerosity isn't just a financial transaction—it's a family story. Cristin encourages families to start there.“The data shows that both generations—young and old—see faith as a guiding principle,” she said. “The key is to unpack what faithfulness looks like for each generation. When families share stories of how God has provided and guided them, something powerful happens.”Listening to one another's experiences helps bridge differences and creates a shared vision for stewardship across generations.How NCF Is Helping the Next Generation Live GenerouslyAt the National Christian Foundation (NCF), this generational shift is sparking new ideas and tools for families and advisors alike.New Research & Resources: NCF has published a comprehensive Next Gen Generosity Report—designed to help both older and younger generations navigate these conversations.Experiences & Events: Through community gatherings and local partnerships, NCF helps families explore generosity together—often in creative, organic ways led by next-gen participants.Collaboration with Advisors and Churches: NCF connects givers to trusted partners who can guide them through every stage of stewardship—from first-time donors to business owners planning legacy gifts.You can explore these resources at FaithFi.com/NCF or NCFgiving.com/nextgenresearch.The Power of AgencyOne key insight from NCF's research is the role of agency in healthy stewardship.“We define agency as the ability to act on the free will God gives us,” Cristin explained. “The more we step into that responsibility—making decisions, taking ownership—the more confident and joyful we become.”That means even those who inherit wealth should be encouraged to find their “Gen 1” opportunities—ways to take initiative, make decisions, and live out their calling to give.The Influence of Women in GenerosityAnother striking finding: women—especially mothers—play a major role in shaping generosity.“Seventy-two percent of millennials we surveyed said their mothers were the biggest influence on their giving,” Cristin shared.Yet, the research also revealed that many women feel unheard in family wealth decisions. The next step, Cristin says, is ensuring their voices are part of the conversation.“This is the time to incorporate women's perspectives in giving and wealth transfer. Their influence is profound—and essential.”Passing Faith Along With FinancesAs this great wealth transfer unfolds, Cristin reminds us that what we pass on matters more than what we possess.“It's not just about money moving between generations,” she said. “It's about passing along faith, values, and purpose.”And that's a legacy that truly lasts.

This week on Influencer Marketing Talks, we're joined by Louise Lundberg - a creator and digital strategist who brings a rare dual perspective to the industry. She works with global brands daily, while building her own audience across Instagram and Substack, giving her a front-row view of how the creator economy is evolving in real time.   In this episode, we dive into:  How to build a creator brand with longevity, from niche vs. core to content that actually sticks. What separates great creator–brand partnerships from transactional ones, and why creators need to be included earlier in the process. The shifts shaping the creator landscape - from AI to new expectations on authenticity and expertise.  Whether you're a marketer or a creator, this episode is packed with insights you can apply right away. 

Patti Smith, “the Godmother of Punk,” has lived a wild life and accumulated so much wisdom in the process. In the 1960s and '70s, Smith was a fixture of the New York City creative scene — hanging out with the likes of Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Allen Ginsberg and Robert Mapplethorpe. Merging her own poetry with an ace backing band, she became a global rock star. Then she gave it up, moved to Michigan, raised a family, and remade herself into a best-selling author. Her stunning memoir “Just Kids” won the National Book Award and is one of the books that I've kept returning to, again and again.There is clearly something unusual about Smith. People who know her have described her as “shamanistic.” But even for those of us who will never become rock stars, there's something inspiring — and oddly relatable — in how she thinks about life. So I was excited to have the opportunity to sit down with her and learn more.Smith is out with a new memoir, “Bread of Angels,” and is on tour for the 50th anniversary of her breakthrough album, “Horses.” We talk about that book and that album and so much more: the boundless curiosity that drives her; the books that shaped her; her childhood communion with a snapping turtle; what Andy Warhol was like; what color she thinks the soul is; and a lot more that's hard even to describe.This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“Pan's Labyrinth” by Guillermo del ToroGrimm's Complete Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm GrimmBread of Angels by Patti SmithJust Kids by Patti Smith“The Dark Blot” by Gérard de Nerval“Genie” by Arthur Rimbaud“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso“The Last Supper” by Andy WarholBook Recommendations:The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo CollodiFrankenstein by Mary ShelleyThe Poetry of Sylvia Plath Edited by Claire Brennan2666 by Roberto BolañoThoughts?

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Kelli LeClair, founder of Heritage Style, ranch wife, mom, and the queen of building a loyal community through business. Kelli has grown her jewelry brand with grit, heart, and zero shortcuts, turning Instagram lives into real relationships and consistent connections into lasting success. We talk about how she started Heritage Style as a side hobby (while selling farm equipment by day), what the move from Texas to Wyoming taught her, and how she's grown a loyal customer base without chasing trends or playing the influencer game. Kelli shares how she balances trade shows, mom life, and ranch life, plus the mindset shifts that helped her stay positive through hard seasons. This one's full of wisdom for business owners, boutique brands, and anyone looking to build something of their own, without selling out.

In Built to Last, the final message in the Nehemiah series, we're reminded that God's work in us and through us is far from finished. Just as Nehemiah led God's people to dedicate the wall with gratitude, worship, and generosity, we are called to do the same, thanking God for what He's done, trusting Him with what's ahead, and investing in what truly lasts. Gratitude fuels our faith, generosity keeps us aligned with God's mission, and together we build not just walls, but lives that reflect Jesus and reach the world for Him.

In today's episode, I share the ten secrets that have shaped my journey as an entrepreneur—from mastering cash flow to building a culture rooted in character, coachability, and consistency.

I explore how humility, gratitude, and faith can transform setbacks into setups and help you create a business and a life that endures beyond profit.
