Though they speak a dialect of Yunnan Chinese and have access to the complete Bible, Jesus Film, and audio recordings, there are no known Christians among them. Most younger Adu are non-religious, while older generations hold to animistic traditions. Isolated and largely unaware of the gospel, they need workers willing to bring the message already prepared in their language. Pray for a spiritual hunger and a powerful movement to Christ among the Adu.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 05/20 34,393Giving For 05/11 27,440YTD Budget 1,588,372Giving 1,532,340OVER/(UNDER) (56,032) VBS 2025 | June 23-27 | 9:00 am - 12:00 pmJoin us in Ancient Egypt!

Ever found yourself caught in the quicksand of a major decision, where the more you think about it, the deeper you sink? That paralysis isn't what you think it is. Contrary to popular belief, indecision rarely stems from not knowing what you want. The surprising truth is that indecision happens when you actually DO know what your heart desires, but you've been conditioned not to trust that knowing. Through years of education, family influence, and societal pressure, we've all absorbed the message that there are "right" and "wrong" choices – and that the wrong ones lead to failure, rejection, and disappointment. Your decision-making lens was shaped long before you faced today's choices. If your parents struggled financially, you likely absorbed different beliefs about "safe" career paths than someone raised by entrepreneurs. These tribal influences run deep, creating an unconscious filter that overrides your intuition when it points toward something that contradicts your programming. Your brain's protective mechanisms are essentially pulling the emergency brake to keep you from potential harm or rejection from your "tribe."In this illuminating episode, Dr. Reana shares a powerful two-step exercise that cuts through the noise in just five minutes. First, identify what choice you'd make if success, acceptance, and resources were guaranteed. Then, get curious about exactly what your brain fears will happen if you follow that path. This simple process reveals the specific conditioning blocking you from trusting yourself and making aligned decisions.Ready to break free from the exhausting cycle of indecision?

Lighting legend Benoit Richard returns for a long-overdue follow-up to his original appearance on Geezers of Gear, recorded just before the pandemic changed the world. In this episode, Benoit dives into how his career evolved since 2020, shifting further into motion picture and television work while continuing to apply his concert touring experience behind the scenes.From massive Marvel blockbusters like Avengers and Iron Man, to high-profile commercial shoots and reshoots, Benoit reflects on what's changed, what's remained the same, and what still excites him most about the work. He also opens up about the realities of life after 50 in this business (hello, Freedom 71!), and whether it's time for live touring crews to push for better wages, healthcare, and long-term support.With his trademark honesty and humility, Benoit shares practical insights on previs, his love for L8 software, and the enduring motto that's guided his decades-long journey in the lighting world: "Early is on-time. On-time is late."This episode is brought to you by ETC and Artistry In Motion

We often think of caregiving as helping those with physical or medical issues. But there's another form – providing care to those facing emotional challenges.We explore the nuanced role of emotional caregiving in our personal and professional lives. We discuss the concept of an "EQ caregiver," focusing on the importance of providing emotional support to someone going through a trauma or emotional distress. This involves being present, empathetic, and establishing a connection with the person you're supporting. Key insightsEmpathy and Presence: True empathy goes beyond surface-level interactions. It involves actively engaging with others by asking insightful questions and listening without judgment. This approach helps to genuinely connect with others, offering support that extends beyond mere conversation.Setting Boundaries: We highlight the importance of setting personal boundaries. This ensures that caregivers don't overextend themselves emotionally, which can lead to burnout or ineffective support. Being clear about your capabilities and limits is crucial for both the caregiver and the person receiving support.Commitment and Communication: Understanding the level of commitment required is vital. It's okay to express when support needs to transition to professional help, and transparency in communication is essential. The value of honest dialogue about needs and limitations helps maintain relationships and fosters understanding.Awareness and Self-Care: We emphasize the need for self-reflection and self-awareness. Caregivers are encouraged to assess their emotional state and ensure they are in a position to adequately support others without compromising their own well-being.Key Moments00:00 Empathy and Genuine Caregiving12:51 Navigating Caregiver Boundaries16:44 Seeking Understanding Through Vulnerability19:42 "Communicate Honestly, Accept Perceptions"20:39 "Commitment and Emotional Impulse"24:08 "Reflecting on Life Choices"29:27 Curiosity in Long-Term Relationships32:20 Uncertain Conversations36:12 Acknowledging and Overcoming Challenges38:19 Avoiding "Me Too" Responses46:44 "Unwavering Support Commitment"In each episode, Jeff and Eric will talk about what emotional intelligence, or understanding your emotions, can do for you in your daily and work life.

What makes a good life? For decades, psychologists have debated whether true fulfillment comes from happiness—a life of comfort and joy—or meaning—a life of purpose and impact. But what if there's a third way?University of Chicago psychology professor Shigehiro Oishi has spent his career studying happiness, meaning, and what truly brings people deep satisfaction. His new research suggests that some of the most fulfilled people don't prioritize either—they live psychologically rich lives, full of novelty, challenges, and transformative experiences.In this episode, Oishi explains why psychological richness might be the missing piece in our search for fulfillment.

Welcome to another episode where we're getting real about life's most memorable regrets and reflections. We're laughing through some questionable choices—like giving advice on kissing boys (oops) and personality differences that lead to serious introspection. Plus, we've got some leadership insights on humility and the power of saying “sorry,” mixed with hilarious stories like our silver hair bleach disaster and very failed merch launch. But here's the deal—we're embracing the mess and learning from it. Whether we're navigating big life transitions like parenthood or reflecting on how we find quality time with our partners after a baby, we're talking about how to be present and enjoy the season we're in. We also dive into the importance of trusting God's timing in relationships, aligning with spiritual intentions, and creating a supportive community along the way. Before we wrap up, we're chatting about setting boundaries, owning our dating regrets, and even our random regrets (goodbye, beloved camper).  Oh—and get excited for our upcoming love series, starting with a chat on singleness with our girl Jana.
