This sermon focuses on three acts of "laying things down": a woman's extravagant offering of perfume signifying Jesus' worth, Jesus' willing sacrifice of his body for a new covenant during the Passover meal, and his submission to God's will regarding the crucifixion. Jon, encourages us to consider what we value most, to remember Jesus' sacrifice and to reflect on where we are submitting our own will to God's.
Do not lay hands on someone suddenly. Laying on of hands for prayer is important. Yet it must be done in the correct way. And you must use spiritual discernment.

Where does your school stand in terms of designing, implementing and measuring the effectiveness of its whole-school wellness program? Several of our thought-leader guests have told us that wellness is at the top of the to do list for many international schools. Along with Wellness, another recurring topic in our episodes is change management, especially around the development of new programs. We hear stories about initiative fatigue and the dropping of programs when their champions leave the school. With so much talk around wellness and change management we decided to invite Alison Leathwood on the show to share an overview of how to design and implement a schoolwide wellness program that is sustainable. Alison is an international school physical education teacher who is passionate about wellness. She is dedicated to equipping students with the tools they need for both physical and emotional wellbeing. She extends this passion beyond the classroom, having served in various leadership roles including HS Advisory Curriculum Coordinator, EC-12 Personal Development Coordinator, Wellness Committee Chair and currently serving as the Head of Department for PE. Through these leadership roles, Alison strives to create a lasting positive impact on the social-emotional well-being of the entire school community. Our guiding question for this show was, “How might international school leaders approach the development of a school- and community-wide wellness program based on Positive Psychology?”Alison offered such a detailed framework along with so many practical strategies that it is futile to try and summarize them here. So I will share just a handful of the topics to whet your appetite for designing an effective wellness program at your school!Here they are:Using a Positive Psychology approach to wellnessLeveraging Character Strengths and the PERMAH pillarsThe who, what, when, where, why and how of implementing a wellness programOther factors that will affect the success of your wellness programResources mentioned in the episode:Alison's Resource folderDavid's Wellness@ES site for integrating Pos Psych into the elementary schoolAlison's Contact Information: LinkedInX: @peleathwood This episode was recorded on February 24, 2025.Categories: Wellness | Leadership | Change Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

While we usually spend a lot of time talking about property, today I've got a special episode for all the parents out there. And even if you don't have kids yet or you're not planning to, you're still going to learn a lot about money and wealth today from my special guest Loral Langmeir, author of the transformative book, "Make Your Kids Millionaires: The Step-by-Step Guide to Lead Children to Financial Freedom." We discuss how to instill a millionaire mindset from a young age, the significance of early money conversations, and the role of parents in shaping their children's financial futures. Loral shares her personal journey and strategies for teaching kids about money, emphasising the need for practical experiences and the importance of overcoming limiting beliefs. We also touch on the value of delayed gratification and the necessity of investing in one's financial education. Takeaways The journey to financial literacy begins with self-awareness and action. Creating a millionaire mindset in children starts early and requires intentionality. The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and parents are their children's mentors so therefore they must show financial responsibility to instill good habits in their children. It's never too late for adults to change their financial habits. Money conversations should begin early in childhood to shape positive beliefs. Delayed gratification is a crucial lesson for financial success. Teaching children about money should involve practical experiences and games. Understanding taxes and financial strategies is essential for wealth building. Investing in education is the first step towards financial independence. Legacy planning is about what you leave in your children, not just what you leave to them.

Luke 13:1-9At that very time there were some present who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. He asked them, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish just as they did.”Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?' He replied, ‘Sir, let it alone for one more year, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.'” Did they deserve it? That's the question Jesus poses to the people reporting a recent tragedy under Pilate's rule. Pilate was known for cruelty and contempt toward the Jewish people. In this case, some Galilean Jews were offering sacrifices when Pilate's soldiers slaughtered them, mixing their blood with that of the animals, desecrating the sacred rite. It was as if Pilate declared: these Jews are no more human than the animals they slaughter.The people came to Jesus to confirm what they already believed: “Did you hear about that horrible death? What did they do to deserve it?” They wanted an explanation. Surely, there had to be a reason. The common explanation was sin: divine punishment.That was the belief of the day: suffering was punishment for sin, your own or your parents'. But Jesus pushes back. It's not their sins that caused this, which feels like good news—until Jesus warns them not to think themselves better. To drive the point home, he tells them about a tower that collapsed and killed 18 Jerusalemites. Did they deserve it? Were they worse sinners than others? No, Jesus says, but unless you repent, you will perish just as they did. Is that a threat? A promise? A prophecy? Jesus doesn't explain, just like he doesn't explain suffering. Isn't that hard for us too? We long for explanations for suffering—ours and others'. We're often gentler on ourselves, but when it comes to others' pain, we're tempted to look for fault.When tragedy strikes—a plane crash, a tornado, a terrible car accident—we don't think those people had it coming. We think: tragedy, bad luck, not divine punishment.But what about poverty? What about homelessness? We see a tent compound, trash scattered around. We might not say they deserve it—but we think: if only they made better decisions, if they avoided addiction, if they took care of their health, maybe they wouldn't be in this situation.This year, we've been learning and talking a lot about homelessness, especially here in Indianapolis. Our high school students and I have spent this semester diving deep into the issue as part of their Sunday School curriculum. The advocacy workshop we hosted focused on two Indiana bills addressing homelessness. So I was eager to attend the Spring Faith and Action conference at Christian Theological Seminary, which focused on that very topic.The keynote speaker was an author and activist I hadn't heard of before: David Ambroz. He started by sharing a bit of his own story. Born into homelessness, he, his mother, and two siblings roamed the streets of New York City, living mainly in Grand Central station. He recounted one particularly cold night, Christmas Eve, when David was just five years old. It's frigid and they are wandering the streets for hours, ice forming on their faces, as his mom flees the people she believes are chasing them. It's only after David has peed himself and pleaded profusely that she relents and they go to a men's shelter, where they are given a single cot for all four of them. Laying on that cot, David remembers his mom, the caring mom now, asking him “do you want this”, gesturing to the lost souls in the shelter. “No!” he cried. “I don't want this. I don't want to sit here in my own urine, surrounded by nameless, homeless shadows.” But in the dark, Mom sparks something: hope. I'm five, but I know this—I want a roof, a bed, blankets. I want to protect my siblings. I want to protect Mom from mom. “Good,” Mom says softly. For a moment, she's the mom I dream of. We pile together on the cot, and I fall asleep, held by hope.The story was as powerful as the rest of his keynote. David talked about his time in foster care, he offered solutions, but he ended by asking, “Do you think I deserved to be homeless, to be grinded up in the foster care system? Do you think the people who live on your streets deserve such suffering? No! But until we change our thinking, until we don't believe these people and children in utter poverty deserve this, nothing will change. We have the capability to end childhood homelessness and poverty—we just don't have the willpower, because in our heart of hearts, we still believe they deserve this.”That's exactly what Jesus is getting at. People living in poverty, living on the streets, are not suffering because of divine judgment. Jesus may not explain why suffering happens, but he makes clear it is not a punishment from God for one's sins. That's not to say sin doesn't have consequences; surely it does. But I would ask: What sin is worse—the ones that contributed to being homeless, or having the means and resources to help but choosing not to? And I don't just mean individually, but as a community, as a society.In greater Indianapolis, we have spent over a billion dollars on sports stadiums and parks in the last 15 years, most of it coming from tax increases. Not even 4% of that has gone toward housing and homelessness. If anything, people are suffering more from our sin: from the slow, unjust systems we have created, from having the means as a society and as individuals to help, but choosing not to. From the self-righteous thought that they must be worse sinners than us, that they deserve this suffering.Yet, thankfully, the trying task of deciding which sins are worse, which deserve punishment and which don't, is an unnecessary and unfruitful task—one Jesus is uninterested in.What I hear Jesus saying is: the people you assume are worse sinners than you are not. And unless we repent, unless we change our thinking, unless we turn to help, we will suffer too. As Bonhoeffer said, “We are bound together by a chain of suffering which unites us with one another and with God.” Because God doesn't explain suffering; God shares it. To redeem all the suffering of the world, God did not command suffering to stop but rather became flesh in Jesus and suffered with us. It is by his suffering that we are redeemed and given the opportunity to lessen the suffering of others.We are the fig tree, given another year, another day, another moment to bear fruit, to lessen the suffering of others. In Jesus' eyes, we are not a waste of soil, of resources, opportunities, or time—and neither are those who live in tents, stay in cars, or sleep on sidewalks.What does bearing fruit look like in our time and place? It's simple, but not easy: It means doing what we can and acknowledging the humanity of those suffering around us. If you're wondering how to begin, here are some ways you can bear fruit in this community. Next Sunday after second service, I am taking our high school students to Horizon House, an organization dedicated to helping our neighbors experiencing homelessness get permanent, safe housing. We'll get a tour and make some sandwiches for their guests. You are welcome to come; just please let me know if you're interested.And if that doesn't work for you, consider reaching out to Lutheran Child and Family Services. They run the only long-term housing program for kids aging out of the foster system, many of whom are at the highest risk for homelessness. I learned just this week that their on-site pantry is running low and could use food donations. If you can help, reach out to me, and I'll connect you with the right person.Lastly, I leave you with the same charge David Ambroz gave at the conference: we may not be able to help every person we see on the streets, and he can't either. But he does acknowledge them. He looks them in the eye and says, “I'm sorry I can't help today, but good luck.” If nothing else, we can do that—acknowledge their humanity with kindness and respect. When that happened to David as a child, it let him know, if even for a moment that he mattered, that there was hope. Our neighbors certainly deserve that. And what about us, do we deserve all that God gives us? The second chances, the boundless love, the endless grace with no strings attached? No. But thank God we don't get what we deserve. Amen.

In this episode of the Building Better Developers podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche explore business growth strategies, focusing on when and how to scale effectively. They emphasize the importance of preparation, automation, and strategic delegation, ensuring that growth is sustainable and beneficial rather than chaotic and overwhelming. Understanding the Right Time to Implement Business Growth Strategies Rob starts the discussion by addressing a fundamental question: When is the right time to grow your business? He explains that many entrepreneurs face a dilemma—do they expand first and hope for new customers, or wait until they have more customers before hiring help? He highlights that the best approach is to plan ahead, ensuring that the necessary team, resources, and infrastructure are in place before the influx of new business arrives. This proactive approach prevents burnout and allows businesses to scale without sacrificing quality or efficiency. Rob advises business owners to focus on simplification, automation, and innovation when making decisions about business growth strategies. Laying the Foundation for Business Growth Michael adds another perspective, emphasizing that business growth strategies should start with a mindset shift. He references strategies encouraging owners to work on their business rather than just in it. By treating themselves as owners and employees, business leaders can set up processes that allow for smooth delegation. He encourages entrepreneurs to examine every task they handle and ask, "Should I be doing this, or can it be automated or outsourced?" Business owners can remove themselves from day-to-day operations by identifying bottlenecks and focusing on strategic growth. Delegation and Outsourcing in Business Growth Strategies Both hosts stress the importance of identifying tasks that can be delegated. Whether bookkeeping, administrative tasks, or customer service, delegating non-essential responsibilities can free up time for higher-level decision-making. They suggest business owners start by writing a job description for a potential hire—even before hiring anyone. This exercise helps clarify roles and responsibilities and ensures that when the time comes to hire, there is already a clear understanding of what is needed. Leveraging Automation for Business Growth Michael discusses the value of automation in business growth strategies. Whether setting up automatic bill payments, implementing CRM software, or using virtual assistants for administrative work, automation can significantly reduce the burden on business owners. He shares how businesses can optimize workflow by setting up automatic backups, email notifications for critical issues, and structured reporting systems. These systems ensure that the business runs efficiently without constant hands-on management. Challenges in Scaling Your Business While growth is essential, both hosts acknowledge that it comes with challenges. Rob reflects on his own experience of becoming overwhelmed before realizing he needed to scale. He advises listeners to avoid waiting until they're at a breaking point to hire help or implement new business growth strategies. Instead, preparation should happen in advance. Michael supports this by highlighting common mistakes entrepreneurs make, such as assuming no one else can do their job as well as they can. He suggests adopting a mindset of trust and structured delegation, allowing the business to grow without micromanagement. Actionable Business Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurs To wrap up, the hosts challenge listeners to take actionable steps: Audit your daily tasks – Identify what can be automated, delegated, or eliminated. Create a job description – Outline the tasks and responsibilities of a role you may need to hire for soon. Implement automation where possible – Look for areas in finance, marketing, and operations where automation can save time. Prepare for employee onboarding – Develop documentation and policies in advance to streamline the hiring process when the time comes. Set clear work boundaries – Treat your business like a structured organization, even if you're still a solopreneur. Final Thoughts on Business Growth Strategies Growth is a necessary and exciting part of running a business but requires careful planning. Business owners can ensure that their expansion is sustainable and beneficial by preparing in advance, automating processes, and strategically delegating tasks. Rob and Michael encourage listeners to reflect on their own business growth strategies and share their experiences. They invite audience members to reach out via email, social media, or the Building Better Developers community to continue the conversation.

[REPOST] Back by popular demand... Another clinical course will not help your business. Look, I know that enhancing your clinical skills is very important. Having the discipline to constantly keep growing and learning is super valuable. Learning more techniques and exercises is great and all, but it won't help you grow your business. If I were starting over and had to get to my first $10k month, I wouldn't invest in a clinical course. As I said, clinical skills are always going to be the foundation of running a rehab practice. However, you can't build a house with just a foundation. There are walls, doors, and windows that need to be added. In this context, those features would be business skills like marketing, sales, and operations. So this week I share with you how I'd build my business if I had to start over tomorrow. Laying out the sales, networking, mindset, and marketing tactics I'd implement. There are ten steps I'd take if I wanted to get to my first $10k. So I hope you pay attention because if you copy this template and implement it properly, it will do wonders for your business. … Ready to take action to get unstuck?

If you're willing, go ahead and sign up! The song I am sharing on this week's episode is called “Warrior”, a song I wrote for the book “Captured (Book 1 in the The Chronicles of Bren Trilogy). “Captured” is my life story written in allegory as a legacy to my children and grandchildren. As I wrote the books, I envisioned what it might sound like if Disney ever made a movie about them. I completed the songs or the first two books but never got around to writing songs for book three. That book is about my vision for my 9 children…and their real-life stories are still being written. They will need to write their own songs. On that matter, before I go on, I have some great news. You can listen to the entire album for book one. It is called “Captured - Songs For the Journey” and it can be found on the website www.thechroniclesofbren.com. I encourage you to read the book “Captured” and then listen to the songs inspired by each of the main characters. For some reason, the song list is in reverse order, which means you need to listen from bottom to top. Try not to listen to each song until you are reading the chapter it goes with. You can simply click on the play button and hear the entire song. This album is meant to encourage young men to look past their shortcomings and failures and the lies of the enemy and see and be who God says they are. Today's song is called “Warrior” and it came to me sometime in 2015 or 2016. It is a massively hard-charging rock song meant to stir up the man that resides in every little boy. It was inspired by my childhood am my own lack of belief that I could ever be a man…that I was something less than a man…that other men considered me a sissy and a failure…and that I was certainly not a warrior. But God had other plans for me. When I had given up on seeing myself as a real man, the Lord met me in that place of defeat and began to defend me against the lies of the enemy. He gave me a brand new identity and then he taught me how to be the warrior he calls every man to be. He called me to battle and to wage war against the lies of the enemy and he equipped me with the weapons of spiritual warfare and with the armor of God. In the book “Captured”, Prince Leonolis finds himself taking part in the traditional rite of passage from boyhood into manhood but finds himself suddenly faced with the loss of his best friend and leads to him ultimately being captured by the deceiver, Lucian. Leonolis was held captive by the Liar, just as I was held captive by the liar in my real life as a boy. This song came about as a clarion call from the prince's father and from his mentor to believe and receive who he was truly called to be. As I listen to it now after all these years, it gets my blood flowing and charges my spiritual batteries. Are you ready? Hold on to your seats! SONG 2 Corinthians 2:14 NIV says 14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. 2 Corinthians 2:14 NASB says 14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us reveals the fragrance of the knowledge of Him in every place. As believers in Christ and as his followers, we have been given the heart of a triumphant warrior. Let us never pull away from the truth, but rather let us walk in the reality of what it means to be an Overcomer. yes, we were all once captured in sin and captured by the lies of the enemy, but when we were born again, that all changed. We were changed. Let's walk in victory today. I encourage you to read the book “Captured: the Chronicles of Bren Trilogy, Book 1” and then listen to each song as its character is introduced in the storyline. It is my belief that God can and will use imaginative storytelling to encourage us to stand on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ and his word. The writing of these books proved to be cathartic and freeing to my heart and mind and helped me see my life and its many twists and turns, heartaches and failures, from a different point of view. My hope is the they would serve to do the same for you.

One more time, that's www.thechroniclesofbren.com As a bonus, I will include the lyrics from today's song in the podcast notes below. Warrior Verse He's a warrior in the kingdom That's what they've told him Since he was a boy He's a warrior in the kingdom And that to lay down his life Would be his honor and joy His honor and joy He's a warrior in the kingdom And now the darkness has come But will he know what to do? Oh, he's warrior in the kingdom Though he may be just a boy The man inside's coming through Heart of a man breaking through And now the fight has come to him It's up to him to sink or swim And now the fight has come to him But does he know that deep inside That he is destined to win Chorus Oh, ride, boy!

Ride with the heart of a warrior! Ride, boy! Ride for what is right! Ride, boy! Laying down your life! Ride, boy! Ride with the heart of a warrior! The heart of a warrior!
Deeply embedded in the heart of every society is a carefully designed system of control. It was perfected here using an international ally. Some real facts about Israel. AIPAC is not just a lobbying firm. How to keep billions of people from seeing the truth. Take, build, conquer and profit. How do we fix a mess that we didn't create? The pick-a-team people are the most annoying. None of this information is new. What DOGE is doing is incredible. The cycle of divide and rule is ancient. Refuse to be pawns and reject the illusion of choice. We the people were never intended to win. Our real enemies do not fly different flags. Dual citizenship of our political representatives is a useful tool for them. Some listener opinions on Israel. It's a forward base of operations. Weaponized by the US, and used to pursue Mid East chaos. Laying a deep foundation for terrorist states. Israeli Secret Intel Service (ISIS). Radical Islam to thwart communism. Don't even bring up 911. Our human assets are always expendable. How we wrecked Afghanistan. Destabilization is what we do. Religion as a shield. The real conversation is about who's getting paid. Tell me again about the evil Hitler and his independent currency. Facing reality means understanding this. We are the empire, because we fund everything.
