n this episode, Nick Bullock, senior pastor of Christ Church (PCA) in New Braunfels, Texas, joins Camden Bucey and Jim Cassidy to discuss an upcoming conference themed "Thy Word is Truth" (February 27–March 1, 2026) and, more importantly, why a sturdy doctrine of Scripture is not a luxury but a necessity for the church. They explore how Scripture's authority undergirds every other theological conversation, shaping how Christians understand God, worship him, and resist the many counterfeit "voices" that compete for allegiance. The conversation also highlights a timely pastoral burden: weak views of Scripture often leave believers vulnerable—whether to "me-and-my-Bible" isolation (confusing sola with solo), or to the perceived stability of traditions that promise rootedness without delivering true unity. By reconnecting the doctrine of Scripture to the doctrine of God—his truthfulness, immutability, and steadfast love—the episode invites listeners to hear again the shepherd's voice in God's word and to respond with reverent, regulated, Christ-centered worship.

Many Christians focus on church attendance and involvement but lack a foundational element: personal devotion with God. True devotion involves spending consistent time with God through Bible reading and prayer, just as any relationship deepens through time invested. The Bereans provide an excellent example by examining Scripture daily with eagerness and scrutiny. Effective Bible reading requires a study Bible, distraction-free environment, and focusing on quality over quantity. Prayer follows a three-part method from Matthew 6: acknowledge God as Father, align with His will, then appeal with your needs. Starting with just 10-15 minutes daily can transform your spiritual foundation and maturity.

Many Christians struggle with church commitment, but being connected to a local church is essential for spiritual growth. The enemy actively fights against church involvement because committed believers become powerful soldiers in God's army. Missing church can easily become a habit that causes you to miss divine appointments and God's movement. To break this pattern, get involved through serving rather than just attending, and build encouraging relationships with other believers. As we approach the end times, church commitment becomes even more critical for spiritual strength and community support.

We conclude our two-week marriage series *“Tighten the Knot”* with a powerful and practical message centered on *Ephesians 5:21* — “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” In this message, *Pastor Di* walks us through the biblical picture of *mutual submission* using the imagery of a **yoke**, showing how God designed marriage to be a partnership rooted in humility, teamwork, and shared direction toward Jesus. Drawing from Scripture, history, and real-life experience, this teaching addresses:God's original design for marriageWhy submission is not about hierarchy or controlHow unity and teamwork lead to growth and purposeWhat mutual commitment looks like in real lifeGrace, healing, and hope for marriages and relationships at every stageWhether you're married, single, engaged, or hoping to be married someday, this message offers biblical wisdom, encouragement, and a clear call to honor Jesus through the way we love and serve one another. --- ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Introduction and series wrap-up 00:54 – Why marriage requires ongoing work 01:15 – Introducing Ephesians 5:21 02:12 – Prayer and setting the foundation 03:37 – Spirit-filled living and relationships 04:57 – Submission as the foundation of marriage 05:33 – Defining submission biblically 06:33 – The yoke illustration explained 07:37 – Why submission is not about power or control 08:34 – Covenant love and faithfulness 09:00 – Two people walking in the same direction 10:14 – The yoke as strength and productivity 11:38 – Biblical symbolism of the yoke 12:42 – Partnership with God and each other 13:28 – Jesus' invitation to take His yoke 14:45 – Marriage as shared direction and unity 15:45 – Encouragement for those discouraged in marriage 17:03 – Grace for past mistakes and healing 18:01 – God's design from Genesis 19:20 – The “help-opposite” illustration 20:44 – How marriage impacts family and children 22:11 – When partners move in different directions 23:12 – Faithfulness to the shared calling 24:41 – Laying down selfishness for the good of the team 26:17 – Personal story and practical application 27:48 – Breaking the “crazy cycle” 29:20 – Honoring Jesus through submission 31:24 – Marriage as a testimony to the world 32:31 – Encouragement for singles 33:43 – Fighting for healthy marriages 35:06 – Closing prayer 37:58 – Marriage conference invitation and next steps 39:08 – Closing and dismissal

Key Topics Covered:  1. Starting Point: Mindset and MotivationTom's journey was sparked by personal catalysts: his mother's passing and a desire to be present for his young daughters.The importance of defining your “why” and setting clear financial milestones.Facing the reality of relying solely on a job for income—and using that as motivation for change.2. Laying the Foundations and Building PillarsTom and his wife began by securing wills, powers of attorney, and reviewing their finances to ensure a solid foundation (“the roof”).They chose property as their initial wealth-building pillar, focusing on buy-to-let for simplicity and sustainability.The process took time—over 12–18 months for their first deal—but commitment and clarity paid off.3. Momentum and the Power of RepetitionThe first property was the hardest, but each subsequent deal became easier as confidence and experience grew.Tom now owns 15 properties, primarily in the Bristol area, and has diversified into investments and other wealth pillars.Monthly recurring income from assets reached £6,000+, providing true freedom of choice.4. The Role of Coaching and CommunityTom credits his WealthBuilders coaches (especially Ian Halfpenny) for challenging his assumptions, providing guidance, and keeping him accountable.Support from family, coaches, and the WealthBuilders community was crucial—especially during setbacks like the pandemic.Taking massive action, even when uncomfortable, was key to overcoming obstacles and building momentum.5. Looking Ahead: Diversification and Giving BackWith financial independence achieved, Tom is now exploring more advanced property projects and investment strategies.He's passionate about sharing his experience and encouraging others to take consistent action—one step every month. Actionable Takeaways:Commit to the process and focus on one strategy until you gain traction.Secure your financial “roof” (wills, powers of attorney, expense review) before building assets.Don't underestimate the value of coaching, community, and accountability.Take one small action every month—compound progress leads to big results.Diversify your income streams once you've built a secure base.Don't DIY your wealth journey—get support and don't give up when it gets tough. Resources & Next Steps:Book a Financial GPS Call for a personal financial strategy session.WealthBuilders Membership: Free access to guides, webinars, and communityDownload our FREE Pensions and Inheritance Tax GuideConnect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey:  Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!

True faith in Jesus is transformational and cannot be hidden. It's more than a simple prayer or one-time decision—it's a life built on the solid foundation of Christ. When genuine faith takes root, it shows in how you live, speak, and respond to challenges. Real faith is tested not on Sunday mornings, but when bills pile up, relationships crumble, or health crises hit. You can't build a lasting Christian life on borrowed beliefs or secondhand knowledge. Eventually, you need to know what you believe and why you believe it through personal Bible study, small groups, and learning from mature believers.

For the 250th episode, we're looking a bit further forward to explore what enterprises should be thinking about as they look to put agentic capabilities to work. Melissa Incera, Alex Johnston and Sheryl Kingstone return to discuss the challenges and potential with host Eric Hanselman. As AI agents evolve beyond simple chatbots in customer experience and business operations, enterprises have to adapt both their infrastructure and data management capabilities to benefit from agentic potential. Automation is great, but getting to fully autonomous operations requires building more trust than exists today for most. In fact, 451 Research Voice of the Enterprise study results show that those who show a healthy skepticism about agent capabilities are the most successful in achieving their AI project goals. Agents are making big step forward in establishing continuity in processes by adding memory to AI model interactions. At the same time, concerns about cost are bringing up the need for the same types of visibility and control that's being used with FinOps efforts in cloud. All of this is taking place in an evolving regulatory landscape where the need for a balanced approach between innovation and safety is guiding the best outcomes.

All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #082, part 5 In 18th- and 19th-century Pennsylvania, women played a central role in caring for the dying and the dead, performing tasks that combined practical, emotional, and ritual duties. Over time, the profession of undertaking evolved, becoming male-dominated and more specialized, reducing women's involvement in death care. Early undertakers often apprenticed from trades like cabinetmaking, expanding into funeral services; Samuel Patch Frankenfield was a notable example who developed a family undertaking business.

If you have ever found yourself saying, "next year will be different", then this episode is for you. Today I want to talk about how to make 2026 your best year yet. Not a busy year. Not a year where you tick lots of boxes but still feel unfulfilled. I am talking about a deeply meaningful year. A year where you stop waiting, choose yourself, and finally begin creating the life you have been quietly dreaming about. Over the years, through dreaming, doing, failing, rebuilding and starting again, I've learnt one powerful truth. Your best year does not just happen. You create it. And you create it with clarity, intention and small, consistent steps forward. In this episode, I guide you through the most important foundational work that so many people skip. The work that changes everything. So, if you want 2026 to be the year you stop waiting and start creating, this episode will gently guide you there. Grab a cup of tea, take a breath with me, and let this be the moment everything begins to shift.

This Christmas, I thought it would be fun to analyze six popular Christmas songs referencing animals-other-than-humans (mostly mammals who are forced to pull people around the snow in sleds, and then some birds, mainly fowl who are killed and eaten by humans but sometimes avians humans admire for their beauty). The songs are  Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Run Run Rudolph, Sleigh Ride, Jingle Bells, The 12 Days of Christmas, and Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song.  In this 24-minute podcast (originally recorded Christmas 2024), I deconstruct these Christmas songs from a Critical Animal Studies perspective. In other words, as an animal rights activist who is sympathetic to the more-than-human-world and the perspectives and interests of other animal individuals and our shared habitats, I analyze these classic songs and what lessons they teach us about fellow animal species and how we could be more respectful, kind of like those Politically Correct Bedtime Story series that gives you a critical yet humorous perspective on classic tales in Western society. My Radio Free Georgia version of this episode has the license to broadcast these popular songs, but for my podcast friends, I don't have copyright permission to play the songs, so I linked to the youtube versions of the songs in the podcast notes here below. For the recording, I'll put a jingle bell sound in there when you can cue up the songs to play yourself if you want to. But I'll speak the key lyrics dealing with animals that I discuss.

Clark Griswold had a noble goal—to provide the perfect Christmas for his family. But, what ensues is a hot mess that shows all the faults in Clark and the imperfection of every person in the family. We can laugh at it because it’s someone else, yet the truth is that we also long for a sort of perfection and many of us get deeply stuck in the traps of performance and appearances. Since Adam and Eve messed everything up in the Garden of Eden, two things are true. We long for things to be perfect, whole, and right, and at the same time, no person or situation is ever perfect. The Bible uses the term “righteousness” to refer to things being right and perfect. It is a good thing to long for righteousness. Yet, we are unrighteous people living in a broken world. Furthermore, our desire for perfection in life and things is often driven by pride or guilt and shame as we seek to make our own identity known or strive to make up for past failures. These truths are on display in the Griswold house and they are incredibly evident in the manger scene—with one exception. Laying in the manger is the One whom Jeremiah calls “the divine righteous branch from David” who is named “The LORD is our righteousness.” The glorious meaning revealed in this name for Jesus is the remedy for our pursuit of perfection, and brings a promise that deals with our failures in the past, our longings for things to be right now and the declaration that all will be made totally right in the future.

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week.

Rockefeller about releasing 'comfortable' in order to create something truly meaningful: “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” Three key takeaways you can expect: How to recognise the areas of your life where you may be settling for good instead of what truly lights you up How to reconnect with your own definition of great without pressure or comparison How small, courageous steps can gently move you toward your dream life Listen in and reconnect with the part of you that knows you are meant for a life that feels aligned, fulfilling and deeply yours.

Today I’m sharing one of my favourite end-of-year practices - choosing a word of the year for next year. It sounds so simple, but truly… one word can become your anchor. It can guide the way you plan, the habits you build, and the decisions you say yes (or no) to in 2026. And because life gets busy (and sometimes a little noisy), I love having something I can come back to - a word that gently brings me home to what matters. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to choose your own word, how to use it, and why it’s such a supportive gift you can give yourself as you step into a new year. Here are three takeaways you can expect: Why your word matters (and how it becomes your “lens” for the year ahead). The simple questions that make your word rise up clearly - without pressure. How to use your word as a filter for planning, prioritising, and decision-making. And if you want extra support, here's a link to a free printable PDF with 100 words you can choose from. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. …and remember, it all starts with a dream

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week... Today, we explore Jonathan Lockwood Huie’s reminder to celebrate endings as the doorway to your next chapter : 'Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings.' Three key takeaways you can expect: How to finish your year with reflection -> so you can carry the wisdom forward (not just the to-do list). How to release what no longer serves you -> to create real space for what you want next. How to take one tiny, encouraging step -> that builds momentum into your dream life. Take this opportunity to learn how to slow down, reset, and step into your new beginning with intention. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. …and remember, it all starts with a dream
