In this solo episode, inspired by a Patreon community member, Victoria reflects on what it means to be a "lazy hard worker"—someone who swings between periods of doing "nothing" and burning the candle at both ends. Through personal reflections, she explores the difference between moving slowly and being truly stuck, the fears that can fuel procrastination and perfectionism, and how understanding our own temperament, rhythms, and needs can help us find a more sustainable middle path.

Girl, if you've ever beaten yourself up for "failing" at a habit, the journaling you couldn't stick with, the boundary you keep caving on, the morning routine that lasted exactly three days, this episode is for you. In part of our High Self-Worth Summer series, Dr. Morgan breaks down why habits don't fail because of willpower or discipline. They fail because your nervous system is still running old survival programming from relational trauma, and no amount of "just try harder" can override that. Dr. Morgan gets vulnerable about her own journey rebuilding her relationship to sleep, food, money, movement, and work, and why the internal work always has to come before the behavior change.Inside the Episode:Why habits aren't a willpower problem - they're a wiring problem, and what that actually means for your body and brainThe five identity shifts that changed Dr. Morgan's life (sleep, food, finances, movement, and work), and the old beliefs she had to release firstWhy belief work has to come before habit change, not alongside it, if you want the change to actually stickReady to go deeper?

Title: “The Christian's Labor and Giving” Part 1 Text: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-10 FCF: We often struggle having a Godly perspective on labor and giving. Prop: Godly leaders teach and demonstrate God's will for His people, so we must follow their example and work to care for ourselves and others. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to 2 Thessalonians 3. In a moment we'll read verses 6 through 15 from the Legacy Standard Bible. You can follow along in the pew bible or in whatever version you prefer. As Paul approaches the end of his letter, he has a few things he wishes for the Thessalonians to do. First, to pray for them that the gospel would continue to make progress in Corinth and that the enemies of the gospel might be held at bay. But today, Paul comes to, what is most assuredly, the main command he wishes to give to the Thessalonian church. It isn't new. In fact, he mentioned it less plainly in the previous letter. But it is quite important that they address the issue immediately. Please stand with me to give honor to and to focus on the Word of God as it is read. Invocation: Holy God, you demonstrated to us what it means to labor. You labored for six days to create your world and rested on the seventh day. And you declared that all you made was very good. Though we are finite and fallen, we have been given Your Spirit within us and Your Son has taught us to work hard to earn what we need. And to earn enough even to be generous and to give to others who are in need. We thank you for the example of Christ and His apostles in this. And we ask that You would reveal from Your word what it means for Christians to labor and to give and protect us from examples we should not follow. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen. Transition: [Slide 2] “Too many Christians worship their work, work at their play, and play at their worship.” Anonymous “One of the greatest blessings of humanity is that divine law which requires men to work for their livelihood.” David Thomas [Slide 3] “No labor is servile when the Lord's approval is the paramount consideration.” Geoffrey B. Wilson “God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into the nest.” Josiah G. Holland Let these words prepare us for the exposition of the text this morning. I.) Godly leaders teach and demonstrate God's will for His people, but we must keep away from disorderly brothers. (6) a. [Slide 4] 6 - Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, i. What is obvious here is that this is the primary application that Paul has in mind for the Thessalonians. ii. After spending a good deal of time comforting them about the persecution they were enduring and correcting them on the teaching of the Day of the Lord, Paul turned his attention to application. iii. However, the first application was, somewhat of a softball. iv. Not in the sense that it is unimportant, but in the sense that it is not corrective. Most likely the Thessalonians were already praying for Paul and his companions and most likely they were already trying to imitate God's love and Christ's steadfastness. v. What we notice here though is that Paul's next application begins with a command. He is not asking… he is telling. vi. The tone of the letter has shifted. vii. I wouldn't say Paul is angry or irritated. But Paul is certainly becoming more forceful on the issue to which he will speak about next. viii. But notice that he doesn't command by his own authority. ix. Instead, he calls on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. x. Once again Paul enters into solidarity with them as brothers and sisters in the Lord. Paul considers Jesus Christ to be OUR Lord. Not just the evangelists' but the Thessalonian church's too. xi. But this command coming in the name of that Lord, is by His authority. xii. This only serves to further amplify the necessity of the Thessalonians following the command which he is about to give. xiii. So, what is the command? b. [Slide 5] that you keep away from every brother who walks in an unruly manner i. There are four REALLY big words in this text that we need to understand if we are going to grasp the importance of what Paul is saying. ii. The first is the verb “keep away”. 1. The word means to avoid, steer clear from, to shun, to have nothing to do with, or to stand aloof. 2. This form of the verbs is in the infinitive which completes the command of Paul. This is what Paul is commanding. To keep away. 3. This is also in the middle voice. In English we don't have middle voice. But Greek does. 4. Middle voice is an action you do that inherently has consequences, results, or benefits to yourself. It is reflexive. 5. The keeping away then, is not just an action being done for the person who is unruly, but it is also an action being done to protect yourself. 6. Keep yourself away from them… 7. Avoid like the plague lest you contract the disease- would be a rather loose paraphrase but it gets the idea across. 8. The Puritan commentator Johnathan Trapp said this, “That ye shun them as studiously as the [sailor] doth a rock or shelf.” 9. In an honor/shame culture such as this, shunning was quite effective to render results. Added to this, the church was already being gravely mistreated by those outside the church. To shun them now, after suffering together for the sake of Christ, would leave them quite alone. iii. The second word we should discuss is the noun “brother”. 1. Even though Paul is not going to discuss the person they should avoid in glowing terms, Paul remains convinced that such a person is still a brother. 2. This will feed into something we will discuss later in this passage concerning church discipline and what it means to treat someone like a tax collector and gentile while at the same time admonishing them like a brother. But we'll get to that next week in Part 2 of this sermon. 3. But it is important for us to recognize that Paul is advising avoiding these folks, but still thnks of them as believers. iv. The third word we should discuss is the participle “walks”. 1. Etymologically the word begins with a prefix which means “around” or “concerning” and ends with the verb form of the Greek word which means to walk. 2. So “to walk around” something. 3. But this isn't giving us the idea of a person who is aimlessly wandering. 4. Instead, this is a person who is circling or hovering over something. 5. In this we get the idea that this is something they live in or have made a practice of. 6. This being a participle, it is describing the character of a brother whom the Thessalonians are to avoid. 7. But what is that character and lifestyle? v. That brings us to the fourth word here which is the adverb “unruly”. 1. No doubt because of this passage and the associations of the people to whom Paul is referring, this word is translated in some versions as idle or lazy. 2. However, as we saw in 1 Thessalonians, we should not conflate these two ideas together. 3. They are certainly unruly because they are idle, but idleness is not the sum total of unruliness. 4. To be unruly is to be out of order. It is to be irregular, different, not conforming to a standard, sticking out, or independent. 5. The church is not a group of individuals it is instead a body or organization that when broken apart is less than what it was together. 6. When we are together – we are stronger, better, more alive. When we are broken apart, we are less, weaker, and more prone to temptation and despair. 7. No one in the church should try to stick out, to not conform, to rebel, or to make their own way. 8. The church should function as ONE in as many areas as possible. And you can't function as one when you are not doing what everyone else in the church is doing. You can't function as one when you are not like the rest. 9. Paul's point is that a person whose lifestyle it is to stick out and not conform, that is a person the Thessalonians should avoid. 10. You can't be a rogue operative; you can't be a maverick. You can't do you own thing. vi. But that brings us to a question… how the same must we be? Is there no room for individuality in the church? vii. Paul answers this by further defining what divides orderly from disorderly. c. [Slide 6] and not according to the tradition which they received from us. i. Although this begins with an “and” we should probably see this not as a second characteristic of the brothers that should be avoided but rather an explanation of the disorderly lifestyles of brothers that should be avoided. ii. Specifically, a person becomes disorderly or unruly when they live in such a way that is out of step with the Christian traditions that have been passed down from Christ, to His apostles in the Scriptures, and now to the church. iii. Failure to conform to what the Scriptures teach whether by explicit statement or good and necessary inference, is what Paul is saying. iv. This divides into two categories. Doctrine and practice. 1. Let me give you an example of Doctrine both explicitly stated and inferred by good and necessary conclusion when considering the whole of scripture. a. The bible explicitly tells us that God created the universe by speaking it into existence. In order to not be disorderly, every Christian MUST confess this as truth. b. The bible teaches several things that if we added them together, we must by good and necessary inference, arrive at the conclusion that God is three persons in one eternal being and essence. In order to not be disordered, you must confess the doctrine of the trinity. 2. How we live also comes down to Christian tradition. It too is stated in explicit and inferred ways. a. The bible explicitly tells us that we must honor our earthly fathers and mothers in the Lord. It even tells us why. For this is right. So much so that a child who is disobedient to their parents is excluded from the Kingdom of God. Any brother who makes a lifestyle of not honoring or obeying their parents is someone we should avoid. b. The bible teaches in several passages that it is right for Christians to submit to governing authorities because their authority has been granted from God to punish the guilty and protect the innocent. Therefore, by good and necessary inference we can conclude that Christians must endeavor to obey the traffic laws of our government. Anyone who makes a lifestyle of disobeying traffic laws should be avoided. v. But rather than just avoiding them or shunning them, shouldn't we say something to them? Shouldn't we warn them of their disorderly conduct? vi. Paul already has actually. 1. In 1 Thessalonians Paul told the Elders to admonish the unruly. He also told the church as a whole to make it their ambition to lead a quiet life and work with their hands to supply for themselves. 2. At the end of the letter Paul implored them by the Lord that they would read the letter to the whole church. 3. And so, Paul has already told the Elders to admonish these brothers. vii. So, what is different here? 1. Paul is approaching the final step of church discipline but hasn't quite gotten there yet. 2. He commands that the church keep away from these people and then he will move on to rebuke them publicly. We'll get to that public rebuke and what should happen if they continue to be unruly next week. viii. But it is instructive that Paul first addresses the danger posed on the other believers in the church concerning these disorderly people. They must be avoided to prevent the disorder from spreading. ix. Paul's priority is on the church as a whole and not on the ones being disorderly. They will be addressed and their actions rebuked – but the first priority is getting those who are still in order to avoid those who are not. x. Some have said that THE goal of church discipline is the restoration of the sinning believer. That is A goal… but it is not THE goal of church discipline. xi. Paul gives us THE goal of church discipline… and it is the purity of the church. A church purely adhering to the Christian tradition which Christ gave to His apostles. d. [Slide 7] Summary of the Point: Paul predicates the command he makes on the authority of Christ. As a godly leader he must teach God's will for His people. And in this, he issues a command directly from the throne of God and the Lord Jesus who sits at His right hand. That command is simply to not be in intimate fellowship with those who are living a lifestyle that is out of step and out of order with the Christian traditions that have been passed down from Christ to His church. The doctrines that Christ taught and the commands Christ demonstrated, should be conformed to by every single member of the church. Therefore, they should not associate themselves with those who are out of order. We too must distance ourselves from brothers and sisters who continue to live a lifestyle that is not conforming to the doctrines and commands Christ and His apostles taught and demonstrated. We must do this primarily so that we are kept safe from their disorder, but also so they may feel the isolation and return and conform. [Slide 8 (blank)] Transition: Of course we have to ask, what kind of disorderly behavior is Paul talking about? Certainly, people aren't conforming to the teaching and commands of Christ – but what specifically is happening there in Thessalonica that needs to be addressed and how should they protect themselves from becoming disorderly in the same way? II.) Godly leaders teach and demonstrate God's will for His people, so we must work hard to provide for ourselves and brothers in need. (7-10) a. [Slide 9] 7 - For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we did not act in an unruly manner among you, i. When we understand that to “keep away” from the disorderly brothers is an action we do with a benefit for ourselves, the “for” connects overtly to the command to keep away. ii. Why must we keep away for ourselves? iii. Because we might start to imitate the unruly ones. We might start to follow their example. Sin tends to spread. Like cancer in the body or worms in a bushel of apples. iv. Therefore, the Thessalonians need to keep away from and avoid these disorderly brothers because they know that they are supposed to be imitating the evangelists instead. v. And Paul, Silas, and Timothy did not give them an unruly example. vi. They not only told them what the Christian traditions were, but they believed and obeyed them also. They taught and demonstrated those traditions to the Thessalonians. vii. But how specifically were the evangelists NOT unruly? b. [Slide 10] 8 - nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, i. Here we start to get to the specifics of the way in which these brothers are being unruly. ii. Up to this point Paul has spoken mostly in generalities. Disorder and lack of conformity to belief and practice. iii. But now Paul outlines how he and his companions acted among them and… how they didn't act. iv. His first example is that they did not eat anyone else's bread without paying for it. v. At this time, there was an expectation to financially support traveling preachers and prophets. vi. This tradition stretched beyond Judaism and across all faiths, even paganism. vii. Of course, this led to traveling preachers and prophets peddling nonsense or strange ideas primarily to fleece people. viii. Because of this, Paul, throughout his ministry, continued to refuse to be supported by the generosity of the city in which he was preaching. ix. His effort was to divorce the idea of paying him money for the gospel message. The gospel was already difficult enough to believe, even without a cover charge. x. And so, Paul is not talking about being rude here… he is merely pointing out that he did not take from people when he could have paid for it himself. xi. Not only that… but Paul and his companions had a great work ethic too… c. [Slide 11] but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you; i. Paul points out that he and his companions labored not only in the giving of the gospel and the teaching of the Christian tradition, but even in earning a living for themselves while they were in Thessalonica. ii. They did this because they did not want to put financial strain on those to whom they were sharing the gospel. iii. Paul and his companions were not only hard workers but were also loving and compassionate to their brothers and sisters to whom they were ministering. iv. They did not want to strain them or burden them with financial pressure while they taught them the scriptures. v. Well, that is probably because it is ethically wrong to be financially provided for by those to whom they minister, right? d. [Slide 12] 9 - not because we do not have the authority, i. It is not ethically or morally wrong for someone who ministers to a group of people to seek to have their needs met by those to whom they minister. ii. Indeed, as Paul points out in 1 Timothy, it is good and right that an Elder who labors long in preaching and leadership should be provided for. iii. As evangelists and Paul as an apostle, he is well within his rights to ask for compensation for his labor to bring the word to the Thessalonians. iv. So, why didn't Paul do that? e. [Slide 13] but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would imitate us. i. Paul and his companions endeavored to be hard working and compassionate teachers toward this fledgling church so that they could provide an example to follow. ii. The Thessalonians also should be both hard working and seeking to give to other believers and not take from other believers. iii. This is the example the evangelists gave and it is still one they know they should follow instead of the example of the disorderly ones. f. [Slide 14] 10 - For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: i. Paul now reminds the Thessalonians that it was not by mere demonstration that they had received this instruction. ii. It wasn't merely the evangelist's example, although that should have been enough. iii. Instead, it was a command that they had given to them. iv. What was the command? g. [Slide 15] if anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat. i. The word “willing” is a very important word in this command. ii. The word means to wish or be inclined or disposed to do something. iii. It does not speak of ability. iv. Paul is not saying that regardless of whether you are able to work or not, you must work or you should not eat. v. Instead, Paul is aiming at those who are not disposed to work. They aren't inclined to work. They are idle. Lazy. They are averse to hard work and earning a living. vi. Therefore, I think we could say that anyone who is able to work but doesn't would fall into this category of “unwilling”. vii. Such a person should not be allowed to eat. They should not be supported financially by anyone. The government, the church, the family. Paul commands that a person who is able to work but simply unwilling, should starve. That is proper motivation for that person to work hard for their own living. viii. What about those who are able but cannot find work? 1. If you are able to work but truly cannot get hired by someone to take care of your needs, then this command would not apply to you. 2. However, sometimes when people are not being hired it is because they are not wiling to accept a job that pays less than they would like or has them working harder than they'd like. In that case, I believe that this command would apply. At some point if you are able to work, you should take whatever job or jobs you can to provide for your needs. ix. Does this mean that retirement is unbiblical? 1. Retirement that includes the plan to live off of other people's wealth instead of living off your wealth, I would say, would fall into this category. 2. But retirement that is based on living off the wealth that you have accumulated… that fits right in to what Paul is saying here. x. The main disorderly and unruly conduct that Paul is driving at, is the ability to work coupled with the unwillingness to work and the willingness to take provisions from others when you do not truly need it. xi. We see this in 2 Timothy when Paul addresses the support of widows. What did he say there? 1. If a widow is young, she should get married and have her husband support her. 2. If a widow has family, she should get them to support her. 3. Only when a widow is truly destitute, that is when the church puts her on the list for support. xii. In the same vein, a person who is able to work… must work hard to have enough for himself and also enough to help those who are truly in need. h. [Slide 16] Summary of the Point: Again, Paul has taught and Paul has demonstrated all that he is expecting of the Thessalonian church. He has commanded them that they should work hard to provide for themselves and those who are truly in need. He demonstrated it by working hard so he could provide the Christian tradition to the Thessalonians. So not only must the Thessalonians keep away from the influence of the disorderly but they should also follow the example of Paul and his companions and work hard to provide for their needs as well as for others who are unable to care for themselves. We too must work hard and provide for ourselves and others. Conclusion: So CBC, what have we learned today that refines our beliefs and guides our lifestyles? Basics of Faith and Practice: [Slide 17] Godly leaders can say, as Paul says here, imitate me. Why can they say that? Because they are imitating Christ. Certainly, following men can turn into hero worship and lead to many catastrophes. We must be careful of that. But insofar as a man calls you to imitate him in the ways he is imitating Christ, you can go ahead and assume it is safe to imitate him. Paul demonstrated what orderly churchmanship was. He demonstrated what it meant to work hard and provide for yourself while also caring for others. And he commands the Thessalonians to do as he did. We too must obey two commands from this text. We must keep away from those who are living out of step and not setting Christlike examples, and we must instead imitate a Christlike lifestyle regarding labor by working hard and providing for ourselves so that we have enough to give to others who are truly in need. But what does this mean for us today? How can we apply this in the 21st century? 1.) [Slide 18] Mind Transformation: “What truth must we believe from this text?” or “What might we not naturally believe that we must believe because of what this text has said?” We must affirm that discipleship is creating others who imitate us as we imitate Christ. a. This isn't the first time we spoken of this in the study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. b. Paul makes it very clear that his view of discipleship is essentially creating others who are like him. c. He can do this because he is imitating Christ. d. Certainly, the goal is Christlikeness. But we often get a little befuddled when we try to implement that. e. What does it mean to be like Christ? Sometimes that is difficult to answer. f. Not only that, but godless people in our day and others who have no intention of obeying what Jesus said, have often spoken about being like Jesus. Usually, they speak this way to try to pass some kind of legislation or political agenda that relies on a distorted sense of love and compassion over what is legal, wise, or best for the country. g. “Jesus would love them no matter what they choose.” “He gets us.” And other empty and trite ideas of who Jesus was without any intention to obey the other things Jesus said. h. But imitation of your mentor… imitation of a godly leader… imitation of someone whom you know loves Jesus and lives in accordance with His ways… that is much more accessible to us. i. And I think Paul knew this. j. It is highly unlikely that any Thessalonian church member had ever met Jesus. k. Paul was Jesus to them. Not in a heretical way or an idolatrous way – but the way the Thessalonians knew who Jesus was, was by observing Paul and his companions. l. Parents… the first real example of Jesus that your children will observe… is you. i. Now answer truthfully… ii. Do you want them to follow your example? Is your example one that leads them to be like Christ? Are your priorities, your passions, your pursuits… are they what Christ would prioritize, pursue, or be passionate about? m. Elders, we must be blameless and above reproach. We must be in Paul's position as being Christlike. A church lead by men who are phoning it in or living to build their own kingdoms or beating their own hobby horses – is a church that is sure to crumble. We must teach all of what Christ taught and demonstrate what it means to be like Jesus. n. Elderly in our congregation – God has preserved you to now. You have not yet been called home. What does that mean? You still have a responsibility to teach and demonstrate Christlikeness to your families, and to those in the church who are younger than you. o. All of us are called to make disciples. Which means all of us are called to imitate Christ and tell others to imitate us. p. If your example isn't worth following… then you are unruly and you need to be avoided. Don't stay there! It is time to conform to the Christian tradition. It is time to be pressed into Christ's mold. 2.) [Slide 19] Mind Transformation: “What truth must we believe from this text?” or “What might we not naturally believe that we must believe because of what this text has said?” We must affirm that although Christ's church is diverse, conformity to Christian tradition is not an option. a. Although Jesus calls and unites all kinds of people in His church, ultimately, He is conforming them to one image. His own. b. While we may have different skin tones, ethnicities, socio-economic positions, views on certain non-moral political issues, interests, hobbies, personalities, and priorities – ultimately, we have the same standard for faith and practice. c. That standard is the standard of the apostles… which is the standard of Christ. d. Our diversity is important. It is what gives God the most glory for this entity known as the church being united though we are so diverse. e. But there is no room for diversity in core doctrine and clear biblical commands. Doctrine and lifestyles must be brought into conformity to the Scriptures which are ultimately an explanation of the teachings and commands of Christ. f. The church won't thrive with diverse opinions on primary doctrinal issues. The church probably won't thrive with diverse opinions on a large number of secondary issues. g. We must be conformed to the Christian tradition. There is no room for novelty in doctrine or revolution in practice. h. We must keep going BACK to what the church has always taught. That will lead us to what the apostles taught. Which will lead us to what Christ taught. And the Scriptures are the road to get us there, with historical church creeds and confessions being that road's guardrails. 3.) [Slide 20] Exhortation: “What actions should we take?” or “What is this passage specifically commanding us to do that we don't naturally do or aren't currently doing?” We must keep away from those who do not conform to Christian tradition. a. So what do we do when we find someone who is unruly? b. What do we do when people believe teachings that are new and different than something we've been taught? c. What do we do when we see people living contrary to what we've been taught to live? We must keep away from them. d. They are still a brother or sister. We aren't declaring them to be unbelievers. We aren't even treating them like unbelievers. Not yet anyway. e. But we are treating them like they are diseased. Sick. Infected. f. When someone in the family contracts a highly contagious disease, we don't disown them or kick them out of the house. But we do distance ourselves from them or take precautions when treating their illness. g. This is what Paul is commanding. We must be very cautious around professing believers who are believing or living in ways that are out of step with what the Scriptures teach. h. We should avoid them to protect ourselves, but also as an isolation exercise. When they see the rest of the church disengage from their teaching and/or lifestyle, and they find themselves on an island all alone – to a true believer, that is a HUGE red flag. i. We know novelty in doctrine is always bad. And we know that most of the time, when our lifestyle is unlike anyone else – that isn't good either. j. Separation from a disordered Christian is a warning to them… its time to get back in line and conform to what everyone else is doing. 4.) [Slide 21] Exhortation: “What actions should we take?” or “What is this passage specifically commanding us to do that we don't naturally do or aren't currently doing?” We must work hard to provide for ourselves and those who are truly in need. a. This is the heart of the message Paul wants to get across not only to the church as a whole but more specifically those believers who are disordered. b. He has already discussed it in his first letter. But here he gets much more to the point. c. He and his companions' example was to work hard, earn what you eat, and keep burdens off of other believers. d. The goal behind this is to ensure that you are at least a neutral draw on church resources, if not a positive giver to it. e. The church in Acts is said to never have had anyone in need because they shared what they had with one another. Not by compulsion as socialism and communism teaches. It isn't forced wealth distribution. It is just as anyone had a need, the church came together to meet it. f. What does this require? g. It requires everyone working hard to earn enough to care for themselves and a little extra to help care for one another. h. If God blesses you with more, He is most likely prompting you to help even more than others. God is faithful to equip His people for what He is calling them to do. i. But when you could work and don't, or when you earn more than enough but never give to the work of the church or to the needs of other believers – you are out of order. You are failing to keep the Christian traditions. j. Some Christians believe that the tithe is a mandate in scripture. i. Since we are not Israelites, and since the New Testament never teaches it, we recognize that the strict 10% temple tax is not something that we need to observe as New Testament believers. ii. But the New Testament does teach us to give cheerfully and sacrificially to the work of the church and the needs of believers. iii. What does that mean? iv. Although the 10% temple tax is not mandated, I'm not sure we can say that the New Testament teaches us to give less. In fact, I think I could make the argument that it implies that, at least at times, we give much more than 10% of our gross income. v. This is a concept that I have found many young believers don't quite grasp. Many young believers think that by giving a few hundred dollars to the church every year, they are giving sacrificially. vi. And they would be doing just that if they only earned $5,000 that year. vii. But in reality, a few hundred dollars a year when God has given you 50 to 100 thousand dollars that year in income – it is hard to say that that giving is sacrificial. k. Let me just say I am very uncomfortable talking about this. I also want to make clear that our family is well-provided for, and I am in no way angling for a raise. l. With those two caveats, we all must understand what the Christian tradition is on labor and giving. m. Christians have been taught by Christ and His apostles, since the beginning of the church, to work hard to provide for yourself, and to give cheerfully and sacrificially to the work of the ministry and to the alleviation of believers in need. n. So how are you doing on that front? o. If you struggle to give sacrificially, or have just realized that you haven't been giving sacrificially at all… p. Perhaps, for you, 10% is a good place to start. Not as a rule or law… but as an easy entry into this concept. q. And the nice thing about 10% is that is scales to what the Lord gives you. Those with less, give less. Those with more, give more. 5.) [Slide 22] Comfort: “What comfort can we find here?” or “What peace does the Lord promise us in light of this passage of scripture?” Jesus has given gifts of godly leaders to teach and demonstrate Christlikeness. a. We live in an era of mistrust. And I don't think we are called to trust leaders unconditionally. b. But I've seen the pendulum swing both ways. c. I've seen godly pastors bullied, abused, ganged up on, belittled, ridiculed, and treated more like a church's slave than its servant leader. d. I've also seen ungodly pastors revered, followed, and obsessively supported to the point that no matter what they do wrong – everyone sees them through rose colored glasses. e. But Christian, Jesus didn't design either of these to be His church. f. He gave gifts to the church. Apostles first to get the church off on a good foundation. He gave prophets to keep the church physically safe and on the correct path in doctrine. He gave the church Shepherds in the office of the Elder to teach and spiritually care for the flock. And He gave the church evangelists to leave their gathered assembly to take the gospel message to people who have never heard. g. The purpose of these gifts was to equip the church for ministry. The church does the ministry and the leaders teach and demonstrate it. h. That should be a great comfort to us but it is also a rebuke to us who may be tempted to see the church or the Elders as something different than I have just described. 6.) [Slide 23] Evangelism: “What about this text points us to Jesus Christ, the gospel, and how we are restored?” The goal of salvation is for you to conform to the Christian tradition, not getting out of hell. a. Certainly, talking about the lake of fire and the eternal punishment for sin, is a message we need right now. b. Especially because our culture largely views God as a big soft teddy bear that doesn't judge you, and just loves you for who you are. c. God does love His creation – but that won't stop Him from justly judging all who are not made perfect in Christ. d. And that is just it… God never says anywhere that the goal of salvation is to save men from His own judgment. In fact, the Scriptures teach that the goal of salvation is first, to bring Him glory, and He does that by carving out a people who love, honor, worship, and obey Him progressively in this life and perfectly in His Kingdom. e. Christ perfectly loved, honored, worshipped, and obeyed God while He was on earth. f. He died for the sins of His people. g. He was raised to defeat death and He now has the keys to that realm. h. And He sends His Spirit to be with and help those who are His to become more and more like Him until He finally saves them in the end and perfects them for His kingdom. i. My friends, salvation isn't about getting out of hell. It is about making a people who are no longer fit to be there. A people who are holy. A people who reject the lies of sin and Satan and submit to their Lord and King, Jesus. j. Perhaps you've come to Christ to get you out of hell – but not to rule your life. k. Perhaps you've never come to Christ at all. l. Those who turn from their sin and trust in Him alone… will be saved. Which means that they will be conformed to Him. m. What will you do with this Jesus? n. Let me or another Christian know if you would like to start being conformed to Jesus today. [Slide 24 (end)] Let me close with a word of prayer from the reformer John Calvin. Almighty God, you see how your Church today is miserably torn by many conflicts. You see how there are so many traitorous ministers who continue to plague it. Help us to experience what you have promised in Scripture by your prophet: That you will be the perpetual guardian of your chosen people—people you have received and embraced so they can move ahead with courage through any conflict and emerge as conquerors. Would you also now stretch out your hand against the sin you have denounced? Reduce to nothing not only those who oppose you and your servants and your children, but also those serpents who harass and torment your church through intrigue, fraud, and other indecent means. Do this until at last we see a full triumph in your kingdom, together with Christ Jesus, our Lord and head. For it is in His name we pray this… Amen. Benediction: Now may He who is the mystery of godliness, He who appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, and taken up in glory; May He humble you under His mighty hand that He may lift you up in due time. Until we meet again, Grace and Peace to you.

Cabbage is a staple in Ukrainian cuisine, not just for its many outstanding health benefits but for its versatility and economy.The quintessential Ukrainian cabbage dish is of course holubtsi, aka cabbage rolls. The traditional rolls can be quite time consuming to make, so modern cooks often opt for "lazy cabbage rolls" which is basically a layered casserole of cabbage, rice, and other ingredients.In this episode of Ukrainian Food Flair, Sylvia shares her recipe for a hearty dinner variation with ground beef, rice, and cabbage.She also shares some very interesting anecdotes about cabbage folklore and medicinal qualities.

https://teachhoops.com/ If you audit a standard, average basketball practice, you will witness a massive amount of invisible time leaking out of the gym. You will see a coach blow the whistle, call the players over, and lean against a wall for seven minutes lecturing about a new entry action while twelve athletes stand completely still, watching their physical core temperatures drop. Then, they split into a single-file line where one player executes a repetition while eleven others watch passively from the sideline. Time is the ultimate currency for a program builder. If your practice design is slow, loose, and lecture-heavy, you aren't just wasting gym time—you are actively coding sluggish habits, mental passivity, and zero-signal noise into your roster. In this episode, we step directly into the "Truth Room" to break down how to use your practice time with absolute precision. We move past basic time-blocking and dive into the analytics of Activity Density and structural design. Discover how to leverage your staff lenses to eliminate dead time, maximize repetitions, and build a high-transfer learning environment that slides your team out of coach-fed compliance and into a player-led championship standard. To squeeze every ounce of development out of your clock, your script must be treated as a rigid, chronological engine. The Organizer on your staff polices the clock down to the exact second, completely eliminating long huddle transitions or slow water breaks. The Setup: Banish quiet stretching lines from your vocabulary. Players immediately execute high-tempo dynamic activation sequences across the full layout of the hardwood. The Velocity: This block is used to set the environmental tone. Players must continuously shout out defensive alerts through their physical movements, forcing high vocal energy into the rafters before a basketball even bounces. The Setup: High-speed handling, spatial passing, and finishing tracks. The Constraint: Traditional lines are an operational failure. Every drill track must feature a Multi-Ball design. If you have twelve players on the floor, at least 70% of them must be moving, catching, or passing concurrently across multiple baskets. The Return: High rep density completely eliminates boredom leaks and forces your players to communicate through the exhaust to keep the gears turning. The Setup: Instead of running 5-on-0 scripted walkthroughs where players act like robotic pieces on a chessboard, you break the floor into contextual 2-on-2, 3-on-3, or 4-on-4 structural shells. The Constraint: Put tight, socratic constraints on the game play (e.g., maximum 2 dribbles per touch, or the ball must touch the high-low paint seam within 4 seconds). The Goal: This forces your players to read the defender's hips independently. It spikes their independent Decision IQ and Next Play Speed under pressure without a coach using a joystick from the baseline. The Setup: 5-on-5 half-court and full-court system alignment. This is where you implement your primary cutting geometry or your defensive coverages (such as an aggressive match-up zone or a trapping shell). The Rule: You must hold an unyielding Standard of Tolerance. If a defender fails to close out with High Hands or a player displays bad body language after an error, The Antagonist on your staff stops the clock instantly. You address it in the "Truth Room," execute a quick "drive-by" technical correction on the move, and demand an immediate reset. The Setup: Full-court situational scrimmage puzzles (e.g., down 4 with 45 seconds remaining and zero timeouts). The Filter: Never run your critical shooting blocks or execution scripts at the beginning of practice when everyone is perfectly fresh. We intentionally place them at the absolute end when legs are heavy and lungs are burning. This builds authentic Resilience Equity, forcing players to lock into their mechanics and maximize their Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) under extreme fatigue: Coach's Note: "You don't build an elite basketball program by the length of time you spend in the gym; you build it by the focus and intensity you jam into the minutes you have. If your practice script allows for conversational laziness, silent shells, or long blocks of standing around, you are actively training your kids to fade under pressure on Friday night. Clean up your clock management, unleash your staff lenses, maximize your rep density, and demand that your players own the room."

Kiera shares the three most common pieces of bad advice out there when it comes to growing a practice. She encourages doctors not to keep applying new pieces of information to growth, but to understand how to filter the best pieces for your practice — and shares three truths to making this happen. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent- Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today we're gonna talk about a couple of lies feel so harsh, but I think these are maybe some misnomers, some beliefs that a lot of dentists are told about growing a practice that aren't true. Or they could be true, but they don't have to be true. So again, like I don't want to say it's lies. I just think it might be a possibly wrong way to look at things if you want. And so I want to talk about some of those like what are the   like three biggest lies, if you will, with air codes around lies. Because I think about a lot of advice is given to you about how to grow a practice, but I don't think it's all true. I think that there's ways that we can look at it differently and get different outcomes. And I don't think people are trying to mislead. ⁓ but I just I feel like it's incomplete. And so I want you guys to recognize that growing your practice and evolving your practice isn't about following more advice or doing more things. I think it's actually about filtering like what is the best way to do it. And for me,   Lazy or efficient, take your pick. I prefer the term efficient. ⁓ let's just get you the most efficient way to grow your practice that keeps you sane, that doesn't burn you out. Because again, I'm about the yes success model. It's all about you, making sure you're living your absolute best life, followed by earnings and profitability and then systems, structure, and scale for you. We've got to have those in place for you. And so I'm really, really big on growing, not for growing sake, but to grow in the way that's best for you, which is why vision and you are the most number one important thing. So when you go through this, I just   I want you to realize like we don't have to stay stuck, we don't have to say overwhelmed, and we don't have to plateau. But there's ways that we can walk through the most common lies, if you will, that are talked about with growth. And then three truths that actually will drive real sustainable growth for you. So number one that I hear a lot is like you just need more new patients. Now, this can be true. Like I said, lies are with an air quote, and you don't always have to be doing marketing spend and you don't have to constantly be attracting people. And like to me, it's constant marketing spend.   Attracting instead of retaining and full hygiene with low case acceptance. Like that can be some of the things. And what's wrong with that is a lot of offices, like when they're telling me, Kiera, we're at like 90 new patients a month. I'm like, cool, you got a backdoor open problem. Like, if we just close that back door, you probably wouldn't need as many new patients, but your ego is screaming, I need more new patients. Or I've got just all these patients coming through, and that's again, we're not retaining them. Or our hygiene schedule is full, but like our doctor schedule is wide open. Well, we don't have great case acceptance. So to me,   Gotta have like great patients coming in, retaining them, and follow through. So growth actually comes better from conversion, not volume. You do need both, which is where I don't think it's a lie. Like you do need patients. We gotta have at least 30 new patients per doctor per month in a like a GP practice. Pediatrics usually run in like 75 to 90, depending upon the the location and what we're looking for. So, like more patients aren't gonna fix leaky systems. So another   Another one, like I said, I'm gonna go through them and they'll tell you like some solutions to fix it. Work harder and produce more, like outproduce your problems, add more days, work longer hours, do more dentistry personally. But like that's burnout. I just had a doctor and she's like, Kiera, we talked about production and I just can't do it. And I was like, Yes, because you're not supposed to do it. We're supposed to have goals. We're supposed to have the whole team. Like I I was with an office and their goal is like twenty-five thousand a day.   But the dentist isn't doing all that and they're out by like four o'clock and we're just scheduling better and we're making sure all the hygienists are up to goal and each doctor's up to goal. Like profit doesn't always follow production. I don't care what your top line is, I care what your bottom line is. So you have to like there is a zone where a lot of doctors work more, but they don't actually make more or they like take home the same. And to me, that's nonsense. Like I'd rather you scale it back and have a small practice than having this high, I don't know, ginormous one and not taking home profit. So   You've got to have, we've got to have efficiency, we gotta have systems, and we gotta make sure it's not all on hue. And then like let's talk about what growth and profit are that we actually wanna hit, not just a top line number. So I I'm really big on like you don't have to work harder and produce more. There's actually a way of how like what do we really need to produce? How do we actually build a schedule? How do we use the entire schedule? How do we use our morning huddles to win rather than just produce, produce, produce? Okay.   Another myth is hire more people and we'll fix it. Like just throw money at your problems through hiring people, through doing this, like this thing will help us. Like, let's add team members. I have an office and I think they've got like 10 people in the front office. I'm like, my gosh, that's psychotic. Like, but everyone feels overwhelmed and overworked. And I'm like, yeah, because no one has clear job descriptions. No one has an end-of-day checklist. No one has like ownership of it. We just keep piling more and more people on rather than like, all right, what's broken? What's a true system? Because I typically say,   Per doctor, I want one for an office team member, except for if there's only one, then I want two. But that's usually a pretty good ratio. Office managers are like debatable if they're there or not. So if you look at that, this is where, but like we overstaff, but we don't have clarity. We got payroll, but like our payroll sky high, but we saw the same issues. Payroll should be sitting at 30%. Like that should be where we're at. Even if you're like here, it's so expensive. I'm like, I know, but we also can't overpay. We can't have so many team members. There are ways that we could like.   You can outsource. There's so many things that we can do. And that's not for me to say we can't hire people. It is for me to say, like, we got to be smart business owners too. So a lot of times people don't fix broken systems. Confusion scales with headcount. Trust me, I used to have a team of five. Now I got a team of 25. It's crazy. It's very thrilling. So, like, you can add more and more people, but if we don't have systems and processes and like,   clear job descriptions, you're just gonna create more chaos and you think you're gonna fix it, but you just add more, then you're stressed because your cash flow is less. It doesn't fix. You got have structure before you have growth. So people don't fix systems, systems support people. So a couple of now like truths. Okay. So we had like lies. All right. Number one, like I said, you just need more new patients. Number two is work harder and produce more. And number three was hire more people. It'll fix it. Now like I said, hiring people might fix it. Producing more could fix it.   having more patients could fix it. But things that are really going to help are like set systems. Like I was in a practice and I'm like, okay, we just need to get a set schedule. Like I said, they're like, I'm exhausted. I was like, perfect. What is each provider's daily goal? What's their hourly goal? What's our hygiene goal? We need to make sure those are in place. So that way it's not just reliant on one doctor. Now we got to look at our case acceptance. Let's look at our patient flow and let's look at billing. Like to me, a lot of these things like if I just fix case acceptance, I don't actually need a ton more patients. If I just fix case acceptance, it's like why don't we actually   clothes the patients that are in our chair. Can we do same-day dentistry for them? Can we get referrals from them? So I'm having quality patients come through. We're diagnosing and we're accepting. Like, what if I just have those? Like those things in place will actually grow your practice. Having 30 new patients a month per doctor is going to grow your practice. Having reviews that tie to that, making sure our collections are at 98%. So many offices actually are profitable, but they're not collecting the money. So they feel broke.   But I'm like, that's actually a system that's going to grow you. So like let's just go after a few systems that are gonna truly grab scheduling, block scheduling. What are the provider goals? Let's hit that. Let's talk about that at Morning Huddle every single day. Let's look at our case acceptance. Our case acceptance, if you're at GP, like we're not doing huge cases, you should be at like a 70% acceptance. If we are at all on X, I'm usually at like 35 to 40. What's our case acceptance? What are we closing? Are we doing single dentistry? Like what are we diagnosing? Are we diagnosing three tens of what we're trying to produce? If not, I need to go fix my case acceptance.   That is my system to fix. That's going to actually grow my practice. That's gonna put money on my books. Billing, just collect the dang money. Like fix that. That's actually gonna grow your practice. That's gonna grow your profit. That's what's actually gonna grow you. Now, another thing that's actually gonna grow you is having strong, strong, strong profit. You've got to have profit. Like that's gonna grow you. I don't care what your top line is, you gotta know your profit.   So, what how do we figure that out? We're gonna look at our BAM. We're gonna figure out exactly what our practice needs to make, including paying you. And then we're gonna make sure that we have enough patients, we have enough case acceptance, we have enough providers, we can block schedule this to actually produce it. Then we gotta make sure we're collecting it. Because if not, we're not going to get it. You have to be profitable. We gotta look at efficiency. How many team members do we actually need to have? What are their job descriptions? Have clear job descriptions, a KPI per person of a number that's gonna drive the business forward. That's going to fix our practice.   You don't need more people. You don't need more production. You don't need more overhead. We need to make sure our overhead is correct, that we're adequately staffed, that we have the correct amount of production and procedure mixes. Some people just don't do enough dentistry. Like you don't diagnose enough. I need you not to diagnose a single crown filling. I need it to be a crown if it's really a crown. If we can't do this, like we might not need as many team members. Can we outsource and use a biller that's not an in-house? I don't know, but there's ways to get creative. You've got to look at it.   For me, it's non-negotiable. Your overhead needs to be at 50% or less. Doctor pay needs to be at 30%. Our profit margin needs to be at 20%. You've got to go look at it. We either need to cut costs, increase production, or increase collections. One of those three things is gonna make you there. You've got to get profitable. It's not like that's really going to grow you. And sometimes growth comes from contracting. Businesses are like breathing. It's gonna expand and it's gonna contract. Sometimes we're gonna be a bigger team.   Sometimes we're gonna be a smaller team. I've done this myself. I've grown too much and I've had to cut. And then we grow again and then we have to cut. It's not because I'm trying to be irresponsible. It's because I genuinely need to like the business didn't grow as much as we thought it would. We now have to contract. You have to be able to make those decisions. Now I hope that you are not like grow, contract, go contract. Like let's not be like adding and cutting team members on a consistent basis all the time. Like more stability. But really look, what are the job descriptions? What is the KPI? If I hire this other person.   How much more revenue are they going to put in? What are they going to do? I get it. We want to help our team. But I was in a team the other day and they had an outsource builder and this builder was asking for more hours. And they were like, no, this is what you agree to. This is how many hours we want. Let's see if we can actually like what needs to get done. They're under staff. They have a front office team member that's out on maternity leave. But for that team to recognize like more hours doesn't fix our problems. Like we need to be more efficient. How can we be more efficient? A lot of team members, when I go into offices, are not being fully utilized.   So before you go and say, like, we need more team, maybe we should look at their job descriptions, maybe look at our org chart. Let's look at what people are doing and what they should be doing and what they're capable of doing. And then let's see how we can like simplify things. What things can we like delegate out? What things can we hire out? What does that look like? Because if we can get those things put into place, do you realize how much happier every single person is? These are the things that actually grow a practice. Looking at your numbers, knowing your profit margins, having the systems in place that actually put money on your books, hygiene.   Let's talk about hygiene. Making your hygienists are doing three times their pay. That's going to grow your business. It's not like just pump new patients in. It's not pump production on the books. It's not these things like work harder. It's not that. It's genuinely right, people. Let's look at our numbers. Let's see. Now it's like okay, if I know the payroll should be at thirty percent, I now have the dollars allotted for that amount. How I spend those dollars is your decision. It's your discretion. I don't really care.   But you know the metric. So if you know the metric, you know most offices are able to accommodate this. You've got to figure out how for you you can accommodate this. Do I need to increase my production? Then can I look at my block schedule? Can I look at different ways? Can I look at my case acceptance? Can I look at my diagnosis? Do we have better handoffs amongst all of us? What little things are gonna be able to grow you and your practice? That's going to be like those things actually put money on your books. Those things actually move you forward. Like I said, they're not necessarily lies because you do need patience, you do need production, and you do need people.   But making sure that we're not pumping money into those areas or we're forcing those things to grow our business. There's a lot of ways that we'll actually grow your business with a lot of less effort. So look at your practice. And I want you just to say, like, okay, what is my payroll? What is my overhead? What is what is my bam, the barriers minimum of my business? What do I need to produce and collect in my practice? Let's start there. And if I'm like   Someone told me the other day that their payroll was 40%. I was like, okay, great. We have two choices. We can either produce more and collect more, or we can find where we're inefficient and what things we need to change. I don't care. You know the metric, you know it. And then you have a choice. You can either do it or not. But this is what's going to grow your practices and grow your bottom line. And these are not as being cutthroat. These are industry standards across the board. If your hygiene team's not producing three times the pain, you're like, but I'm in California. I know I hear you. Practices are able to do it.   It's just like the four-minute mile. If someone else is able to do it, let's get creative and see how you can do it. I would recommend cutting the excuses and starting to look for truth, starting to look for how, what are the solutions. Kiera Dent is well known for a famous line of there's always a solution, let's find it. So I want you to really truly, what is the solution? What's really going to grow your practice? And if you're stuck, if you don't know, I'd love to cut through the noise for you. I feel like I play Mario. Like I see all the little, like, I don't know, glitterally.   Like, here's your gold star. Here's this thing. It's above your head. Like, my gosh, if they just increase their case acceptance and they fix their blocks and they knew their number, all the practice will grow. In my own business, I struggle with that. In your own business, it's hard to see it. So sometimes you need somebody who's got a bird's eye view, someone who's sitting above the noise, someone who's able to cut through that, someone who's able to say, these are the three systems we're going to put in place first. This is going to grow you exponentially. Let's get the business fundamentals for you. Let's actually grow your business for what you want, not just   So like playing like whack-a-mole and trying all these things that don't actually move you forward. So hopefully that was able to give you three lies and three truths, things that will actually move you forward. And like I said, they're not lies. They're just things that I feel a lot of people put effort and energy in trying to solve their problem rather than doing the work. It's like I want a six pack, but until I get on that freaking floor, I can do a lot of things. There's even things to help me lose weight now. But until I want that six pack, I gotta do the work to get there. So for you.   We gotta do the work that's actually gonna grow your practice, not just like create noise and make it feel like we're moving. ⁓ I love this quote. I don't remember who said it, but they said, Don't confuse progress with motion. A rocking horse has motion, but there's no progress. And I love thinking about that because when we think about it, that can be that can be something I think we feel. Like you are having   motion but it you're not progressing. And like they say, I think it says Alfred A Montagu. I think sorry if I said that wrong. I'm really sorry, but it says don't do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress. So for you, are the things that you're doing actually making progress or do they just feel like motion? Because we've got to make sure we're making progress. We're actually growing. We're not just doing motion. So reach out. I'd love to help you.

Episode 289 – What to Say to A Lazy ManThis episode of Mavericks & Misfits confronts a challenging truth that many of us need to hear: the biblical mandate for men to work is not optional - it's foundational to Christian manhood. Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 3 and 1 Timothy 5, we're reminded that Scripture connects a man's faith to his work ethic in surprisingly direct terms. Paul didn't mince words when he wrote that if a man won't work, he shouldn't eat, and that a man who doesn't provide for his family has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. These aren't cultural suggestions, but timeless truths rooted in God's design from Genesis, where Adam was given work before the fall ever happened. The curse wasn't work itself- it was the toil and difficulty that came with it. This teaching challenges us to examine whether we've allowed cultural passivity to replace biblical masculinity, whether we're waiting for dream jobs instead of faithfully stewarding whatever employment God provides, and whether we understand that material provision is also a valid form of ministry. For single women, there's wisdom here too: a man's work ethic reveals his character and readiness for covenant. For those already in difficult situations, prayer becomes the pathway to transformation. Ultimately, this message calls us back to a counter-cultural standard where faithfulness in the mundane becomes the foundation for God's greater purposes in our lives.

Let's talk about Trump's team saying Gen Z should be sent to Iran because they're lazy....

You have to navigate an almost endless list of uncertainties when raising a child, and it's hard to figure out the best approach to parenting. At one end of the spectrum, you've got so-called helicopter parents, who micromanage every aspect of their children's lives, and at the other end parents who are so hands-off that some label them as lazy. Maybe sometimes they are lazy. But in other cases, letting kids learn from their mistakes is an intentional choice rather than pure laziness. You might think that stepping back means kisd are more likely to get into trouble. But that's not necessarily the case. The idea is to scale back constant parental involvement to help kids develop their own skills, problem-solving abilities, and independence. After all, if parents swoop in to solve every issue, how can children ever figure out how to manage on their own? Couldn't such an approach be seen as negligent? How does one become a “lazy” parent? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

But sleep isn't the reward for a productive day. It's the foundation that makes one possible. And one of the more uncomfortable truths about it is that you can't outwork it, out-exercise it, or optimize your way around it.My guest this week is Shimin Ooi, who leads Sleep Reset, a sleep clinic built around CBT-I — the gold-standard approach to insomnia. Shimin's interest in this isn't academic. She spent her childhood with undiagnosed pediatric sleep apnea, sleeping ten hours a night and still exhausted, until her late teens. Fixing it was, in her words, night and day, and that experience shapes how she helps people find genuinely restorative sleep. What surfaced again and again in our conversation is how often the effort to sleep is the very thing keeping us awake.Six Discussion PointsExercise can't stand in for sleep. They do biologically different jobs, and the brain maintenance, tissue repair, immune function, and metabolic regulation that happen while you sleep have no real substitute — a single rough night can knock down immune function dramatically.The pressure to sleep well is often what keeps you awake. Telling yourself "I have to sleep tonight" reads to your brain as a threat, raises cortisol, and makes rest harder. Giving yourself permission to sleep badly is paradoxically what lets it come.Your bed is teaching your brain a lesson. Every hour spent working or worrying under the covers trains your mind to treat that space as a place for alertness rather than rest, and over time that's how the association breaks.Sleep trackers can quietly become the problem. For an anxious sleeper, a "10-hour sleep deficit" reading can trigger the exact spiral that worsens sleep — the data isn't always on your side.CBT-I isn't trying to turn an owl into a lark. It addresses insomnia, not your chronotype. Fighting your natural wiring is a different and usually losing battle from fixing a genuine sleep problem.Naps are contextual, not categorical. A short, early nap can sharpen a well-rested person, but for someone already struggling at night it drains the sleep pressure they need to fall asleep later.Three Connection PointsSleep Reset — Shimin's sleep clinic and CBT-I programCasey Neistat's "Fat and Lazy" — the video I mentioned, where he talks about replacing sleep with exercise (a theory Shimin gently dismantles)Dr. Michael Breus on A Productive Conversation — for more on chronotypes and the "wolf" wiring I referencedIf you've ever lain awake running the math on how little sleep you're about to get, this conversation reframes the whole problem. The fix isn't more discipline or a smarter device — it's loosening your grip. Sleep, like so much of what we cover here, responds better to being allowed than to being forced. Give it a listen, and notice where you might be trying too hard at the one thing that asks you to stop trying.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

I get asked this all the time. How do you actually make it to the second shift? How do you work at night and not just collapse?And honestly? It's not that hard for me. Not because I have more energy than you. Because I stopped bleeding mine out all day.Here's what's actually happening when night hits and you're done. You've spent the whole day trying to be mom, business owner, wife, housekeeper, and gym-goer all at the same time. Nothing got your full attention. Not the business. Not your kid. Not yourself. And that's not a time problem. That's a nervous system problem.Every time you switch tasks, your nervous system takes a hit. You've been doing that on repeat since 6am. By the time the second shift comes, you're not tired from doing too much. You're tired from switching too much.This episode is about what actually regulates that — and why making it to the second shift isn't about pushing through exhaustion. It's about arriving with something left.IN THIS EPISODE— Why you're exhausted by the time the second shift starts and it has nothing to do with how much you did— The difference between physical exhaustion and nervous system depletion — and why most moms are experiencing the second one and calling it laziness— What overstimulation actually is and why it's not just noise, it's too many open loops— Why I took a nap with Luka today and what that has to do with making it through my own second shift tonight— The real structure that makes the second shift possible: containing each part of your day instead of splitting yourself across all of them— How AI protects the container so nothing bleeds into mom time — and why that's the actual reason I have something left at nightYou can do all of it. But not all at once. Stop splitting. Start containing.

But what happens when your body has been sounding the alarm for years?In this episode of The Lo Life, Lo sits down with author, certified health coach, and patient advocate Amy Kurtz to talk about her 15-year journey to finally receiving a Lyme disease diagnosis and the emotional toll chronic illness leaves behind.

Allie covers big news from Bethany Christian Services, the nation's largest Protestant adoption and foster care agency, which has announced it will only place children with families who fully align with its biblical statement of faith beginning in June 2027. This decision reaffirms the organization's Christian convictions on marriage and the sanctity of life after years of internal identity struggles, drawing strong praise from believers while prioritizing minimal disruption for the thousands of children they serve. Professor Robert George joins to explain his reason for creating Fidelity Month, a counter to Pride Month, that prioritizes nuclear family and faith over brokenness. Finally, Allie reacts to the Supernanny, Jo Frost, who has declared that we have taught our children to be incapable. For more about Fidelity Month, go to https://fidelitymonth.com/.
