How to nurture the best in people with consistency and be remembered for what matters. This is going to be a different episode about a cake my nan used to make. But isn't just a story about cake. It's about the difference between control and nurture. My school thought resilience came from forcing kids to clear their plates (even if they ended up vomitting). They were wrong. My Nan knew that real strength comes from consistency. She made me the same pineapple upside-down cake every time I visited for a decade. Even when she went blind, she kept creating. She was an entrepreneur, an artist, and the village baker. She taught me that you don't build character by breaking someone's spirit. You build it by showing up. By paying attention. By finding the one thing they can stomach and giving it to them again and again. Nurture over control: You get more out of people by supporting their quirks than forcing compliance. Consistency is love: Showing up the same way for years builds more trust than grand gestures. Create despite limits: My Nan went blind and kept making things; focus on what you can do. Listen to learn how a simple cake became a masterclass in leadership and love. SPONSORS

Send us a textIn this episode of Leave Your Mark, I'm honoured to welcome one of the most iconic defenders in NHL history — Zdeno Chara.Zdeno, born in Slovakia, played 24 seasons in the National Hockey League with the New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins, and Washington Capitals. Standing at 6'9", “Big Zee” is the tallest player ever to compete in the league — but his impact stretched far beyond physical stature.As Captain of the Boston Bruins for 14 seasons, Zdeno led with humility, discipline, and purpose. He won the Norris Trophy in 2009, appeared in three Stanley Cup Finals, and raised the Cup in 2011 — becoming one of only five European-born captains to ever do so. Over 1,600 NHL games, he built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and a relentless work ethic.Internationally, he represented Slovakia with pride, earning two silver medals at the World Championships. In 2022, he retired as a Boston Bruin and will have his number, 33, raised to the rafters in January 2026. Most recently, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.Beyond the accolades, Zdeno is a devoted husband to Tatiana and a father to three young children — and in this conversation, he opens up about leadership, resilience, growth, family, and what it means to evolve beyond the game.This is a special one.

I speak with with the semi-pseudonymous Johann Kurtz on his terrific new book Leaving a Legacy: Inheritance, Charity, & Thousand-Year Families. Johann lays out the foundation for why it can be moral to leave an inheritance when pared with virtue. We talk how ‘Die with Zero' misses the mark, why true charity is necessarily multi-generational, family business as a conduit for generational continuity, and what J.K. Rowling instinctively understands about the re-enchantment of the world. Intro/Outro: Legends of the Fall Main Theme - James Horner This is a public episode.

Mission, Vision, Values, Culture To know who we are, we need to know where we're going.To know where we're going, we need to know what we're going to do to get there.To know what we're going to do to get there, we need to know who we're going to be doing it with. And to know who we're going to be doing it with, we need to know what we're doing. We need a clear understanding of our mission – given by Jesus Himself.We need a rallying vision – a picture of a preferred future that keeps us rooted in the mission.We need a known set of values – the things that we choose to high-center on that will hold us high-and-tight to our vision.We need a culture – an established code that defines the hills we're willing to die on that will drive our values, help us accomplish our vision, and will keep us on mission. We need a Firm Foundation. Mission >>> We are called to awaken the hearts of the hopeless, the helpless, and spiritually homeless to the reality of Jesus' love for all people and His perfect plan for our lives. Hopelessness, helplessness, and spiritual homelessness present differently depending on where you are looking, but these three realities are the norm of the human condition. We have all been there. Some of us may be there now, experiencing a version of one or all three of these conditions. Regardless of our current situation, Jesus is always the answer. Jesus has sent The Spirit to be a Help. Jesus is the Hope of The World. And The Father sent Jesus to lay the foundation for how He desires a Spiritual Home – His Church – to be built. Bring Hope: Jesus is the Hope of the World and He has chosen His Church to be the vehicle He uses to bring hope to those who are at the end of their rope and don't know their next steps. Sometimes people just need a little hand-up to help them get back on their feet, and we are here to serve. Hope can be restored when real needs are met; and, when real needs are met, doors can open to real spiritual conversations about The Hope that Jesus provides. (Psalm 41:1-2) We exceed the need.  Be a Help: We are called to be a help to those who don't have the resources they need to thrive (James 1). Jesus promised His followers that He would send The Spirit to be a Help for His people (another Helper). When we walk with Jesus, we are guided by The Spirit, gifted by The Spirit, and empowered by The Spirit. And when the Spirit Guides, Gifts (1 Cor 12), and Empowers (Gal 5) it is always for building up and growing The Church and putting Jesus on display. When we step into these Good Works, we honor The Father in the process (Matthew 5).  We value the vulnerable.  Build a Family: We are called to be a safe space - a spiritual home - for those who need Jesus and a Church Family. The Church has been built to honor The Father. He sent Jesus to establish a new covenant with His people and to bring us into His flock. This is not easy work. And for this work to be accomplished in a God-honoring way, we must build families that are not only strong, but resilient. Families who consistently show-up. Families who serve out of an overflow. Families who give sacrificially and generously and radically. Families who bend, but don't break. Families who get back up again. Families with thick skin and soft hearts. Families who learn and grow and shine like Jesus. We build resilient families.  Multiply the Mission: We understand that it can't end with us. God has given each of us a part in this Body, and He desires for His Body to grow and multiply. As we respond to His call for His Church, we believe we will see a multiplication of ministry efforts that look and sound and feel like Venture. Ministry efforts that are born of our DNA and are committed to replicating it here, near, and far. This looks like localized ministry efforts. This looks like new-to-the-world Parachurch Organizations that see the need and meet it, find a hurt and heal it, see a problem and fix it. This looks like new church plants that take this beautiful Gospel far and wide. What we're doing is good, but it will never be enough. We need to take Jesus to more places. This will make Venture a John 14 Greater Works Church. We multiply the Mission.  Vision >>> Vision is aspiration – the picture we paint of a preferred future. The things God allows us to see as we follow Him more closely. In John 14, Jesus promised His disciples (including us!) that we would be equipped with the very presence of The Holy Spirit and, through Him, we would accomplish even Greater Works than what they saw Jesus Himself do. Later in the New Testament, James talks about these ‘works' as being the evidence of our faith and belief in Jesus. These ‘works' that Jesus and James talk about always extend towards and into the segments of our population that find themselves hopeless, helpless, and, very often, spiritually homeless. As we follow Christ more closely and become more aware of how we can work for His Glory, we want to be a Church that displays our love and devotion to Jesus by being a part of these Greater Works that He calls us to and equips us for. We are called to be a Greater Works Church. We have an enemy that prowls around, seeking to devour us – especially the weak and vulnerable. He steals, he kills, and he destroys. As we embrace and step-into the hopelessness, helplessness, and spiritually homelessness that surround us, we seek to create solutions to these problems that can't be stolen, killed, or destroyed.  Bring hope that can't be taken awayBe a help that brings lifeBuild a Family that can't be destroyedMultiply the Mission We will accomplish this by launching multiple interdependent ministry efforts across the metroplex, surrounding areas, and globally – each seeking to partner with and potentially even share space with like-minded and spiritually-aligned organizations that serve the needs of their local community. This presents solutions to multiple problems at once:1.    We serve our partnerships with their biggest need: volunteers and resources!2.    We sharpen our focus on the thing that that The Church is uniquely commissioned to: provide Peace and Hope for the soul!3.    We rally resources to meet the indigenous needs of each ministry effort's community4.    We redeem each community's specific needs, hurts, and problems into Greater Works opportunities Per our Elder Mandate and, as we develop practices for spiritual maturity and create environments for leadership development, we will build pathways to multiply ministry efforts. Develop healthy disciples / Cultivate leaders worth following / Build resilient families / Multiply the Mission We bring Hope / We are here to help / We build resilient families / We multiply the Mission  Values >>> Values are the things an organization hold in high-esteem – they are Values because they are valuable to us. Values are valuable because they drive culture up and down and left and right and in and out and all throughout the organization. Some of these Values and Culture pieces are actual, others are aspirational. And that's ok – we should always be on the path to valuing the things that make us more like Jesus.  We value deep roots … because in a world that doesn't stop changing, we need a firm foundationWe want Venture to be the church you can always call Home We value open hands … because it's how people can see the Jesus in us·      Jesus gave His life to love and serve and so will we We value movement … because we're all on the path to becoming more like Jesus·      It's ok to be where you are, but we believe God wants more for you We value true worship … because it aligns our heart and minds with The Father·      How we love, live, and lead should point people to Jesus We value the vulnerable … because everybody needs somebody to love them·      Jesus trusts the vulnerable to the care of His Church We value leaving a legacy of faith … because the next generation must not be the last generation·      We're here to help you take your next step with Jesus  Culture >>> Culture are the things that we do, say, and put into action that make us unique. Not better, simply unique. There has never been a Church like Venture because, as Jesus taught us, a Church is a Body. A living organism and, although most bodies have the same body parts, each part is unique to that particular body. Never before has this collection of Christ-followers been united to form this Body. And as unique as it is today, we desire it to be unique each day moving forward as The Lord adds new Members to His Body known as Venture Church. These cultural elements are hills worth dying on. When we protect the Culture, we protect our Values. When we protect our Values, we protect our Vision. And when we protect our Vision, we ensure that we stay true to our Mission – To awaken the hearts of the hopeless, helpless, and spiritually homeless to the reality of Jesus' Love for us all and His perfect plan for our lives. 1: We are here to serveWe serve because it prioritizes our lives properlyNo strings attached·      See a need, meet the needIf something catches your attention it deserves your attentionSee a need and meet itFind a hurt and heal itFind a problem and fix it  2: What we do matters, but you matter moreWe don't sacrifice relationships on the altar of ministryPeople > TasksWe can use people to get ministry done, but we'd rather use ministry to get people done 3: We have a Heart for The HouseWe want Venture to be The Church you will always call Home 4: We have a Heart for The CitiesYou live where you live because God wants His Light to shine there 5: We are defiantly joyfulWe choose joy even when we don't feel like itWe are thermostats, not thermometers – we set the temp 6: We are all hands in, all hands openWe are outrageously generousWe give until it hurts and then we give some moreWe serve and we give because what we do together matters 7: We make it feel like homeWe turn an old grocery store into a HomeWe open the door and save you a seatThere's a seat at the table for youWe appreciate the privileges and embrace the responsibilities 8: We have eyes for the sunriseTomorrow > YesterdayUnderstand your part in the bigger pictureEyes for opportunityWe're not there yet 9: We Love the 99, AND go after the 1We seek to serve to hopeless, the helpless, and the spiritual homelessThe room is never full 10: We believe God can do itIf He's in it, He's going to do it – and we want Him to use us

God calls us to think beyond today, and to build a faith that outlives us. Today, we look through Psalm 145:4 and Psalm 22:30-31 to see how Scripture calls every generation to praise God's mighty works and pass on spiritual wealth.Through the story of King David's vision for the temple, the intentionality of Susanna Wesley, and even the legacy of families like the Rothschilds, we see a timeless truth: small, faithful acts can echo for generations.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

Pasha Palanker is a decorated U.S. Army veteran, speaker, and passionate advocate for mental health in the veteran community. Honored with the Bronze Star for Valor, Pasha's extraordinary journey includes surviving a suicide bomber attack during combat and overcoming the invisible wounds that followed.

Now, he shares his story nationwide, impacting thousands by speaking authentically about resilience, mental wellness, and living a life of meaning beyond military service.  Takeaways: Healing Begins with Presence and Support: Sometimes the greatest help for someone struggling is not advice, but simply being there with love and understanding. It Takes Strength to Seek Help: Reaching out for support, whether through a psych ward visit or therapy, is a true display of courage—not weakness. Rewriting Purpose After Service: Transitioning from military life often means finding new purpose and challenges—embracing new missions, new hobbies, and a fresh sense of identity is crucial for a successful and fulfilling post-service life.  Sound Bites: “You don't have to be Superman, Superwoman 24/7. It's okay to not be okay and to seek help for that.” “I had to go so deep inside of myself and learn about myself in order to come out, and now I'm genuinely curious about other people and how to connect.” “You can't hold onto the life that's behind you—find something new and meaningful to challenge yourself with after the uniform comes off.
