Ken grew up as a “PGK”—a preacher's grandkid. His grandfather pastored Portland Foursquare Church for nearly 30 years, and Ken made his own decision to follow Jesus at just five years old. After graduating from Bible college in California, he spent nearly a decade in full-time ministry, convinced he knew exactly what God had planned for his life… until life took an unexpected turn.Divorce, family struggles, financial highs and lows, and years of hidden compromise challenged everything Ken thought he knew. Although he never walked away from his faith, he admits he often wrestled with surrender, trying to numb the pain instead of trusting God through it. His story is an honest reminder that even believers can lose their way without losing their faith.God wasn't finished with Ken. Through careers in ministry, mortgages, business development, even a season at Costco, the Lord used every chapter to shape him. Then came an unexpected calling with Convoy of Hope, where serving others helped renew his purpose and reminded him that God often works through the seasons we never would have chosen.Today, Ken is married to his high school sweetheart, is a proud father of four adult children and grandfather of two, and has a deep passion for helping men who are trying to fight life's battles alone. He believes the daily challenge is keeping Jesus at the center, fixing our eyes on Christ—the “Author and Perfecter of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2)—while surrounding ourselves with the right people and choosing surrender over self.In this conversation, Ken shares untold stories about ministry, divorce, restoration, Convoy of Hope, and how God used the storms of life to call him back. If you've ever wondered whether God can redeem broken chapters, or what He's calling you to do with your time, treasure, and talents, this episode will encourage you to take the next faithful step—and simply do the next kind thing.Reach out to Ken at (503) 313-0120 or Kbelden@convoyofhope.orgTo learn more about Convoy of Hope, go to: http://convoyofhope.org/#Jesusfollower #disciple #golflover #convoyofhope #conversationswithbuddy

LIFE HAPPENS, GRIEVE ANYWAY Grief isn't just something we experience after losing a loved one. We grieve broken relationships, lost dreams, health challenges, career changes, empty nests, beloved pets, and seasons of life that don't turn out the way we expected. In this episode, Tracy is joined by special guest and substitute co-host Valerie DeGraaf for an honest conversation about the many faces of grief through two different generations. Together they share personal stories, practical encouragement, and biblical hope for anyone walking through a season of loss. You'll hear: Why grief is bigger than death How different generations experience grief Practical ways to care for yourself using the DEER acronym (Drink, Eat, Exercise, Rest) Why gratitude doesn't erase grief—but can become an anchor in the middle of it Why it's okay to cry, feel deeply, and stop apologizing for your emotions The powerful reminder that Jesus Himself wept Whether you're grieving a recent loss or carrying a hurt that's been with you for years, we hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone and that God meets us right where we are. Key Scriptures: John 11:35 — "Jesus wept." Psalm 34:18 — "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Takeaways: Grief is a normal response to loss. Gratitude can anchor us without minimizing our pain. God doesn't ask us to hide our emotions—He invites us to bring them to Him. This Week's Challenge: If you're grieving, give yourself permission to grieve. Stop apologizing for having emotions. Take care of yourself, lean into God's presence, and remember that healing is a journey, not a race. If this episode encouraged you, would you share it with someone who may need a little hope today? And if you haven't already, we'd love for you to follow the podcast and leave us a review—it helps more people discover the encouragement and laughter we're passionate about sharing. Because life happens... but with God's help, we can keep moving forward—one faithful step at a time.

What do you do when you know you need to let someone go but your heart isn't ready yet? From realizing enough is enough to actually choosing your wellbeing over your comfort and feelings, today we're breaking down how to let go of toxic relationships.In this week's episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we explore the difficulties of ending an unhealthy relationship and a powerful practice we use to break ties when needed. We're sharing why it's so hard to cut someone out, how to overcome these emotional barriers, and how to actually prioritize your mental wellbeing by ending toxic relationships.

Life is what it is brothers and sisters, and if you're in a situation where as you think you have gone too far from Christ, I am here to tell you now that is absolutely not true. You can always come back to our Lord and savior life happens, and it can bring storms or situations into our lives and for whatever reason, we develop the mindset that we can handle this or take care of that on our own. And at times it seems like we can, but that is a trick from satan, because the minute that we lose focus from Gods word, the minute we stop praying and reading the Bible. Little do we know we allow things to slip into our lives and then it throws us all off track. Now, we're saying, we might as well continue to go on the road that we're on. Not understanding the further we get away from Christ. The harder it seems to come back, but that's an illusion. After you pray, after you ask for forgiveness, you brush yourself off and continue on your journey. Because God have things for you to do, that's why we're still here , amen?

There are conversations every parent knows they should have — and most of them never do. In this episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, mother and daughter go deep on the exact things they wish someone had said to them before life had to teach them the hard way.From family alcoholism surfacing after a 15-year-old's first drunken night, to growing up with two alcoholic parents and never once hearing 'I love you' — Barb and Michelle trace how silence passes down through generations, and what it actually takes to break that chain. This one is for every parent afraid to say the hard thing, and every adult child who's still waiting to hear it.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why 'protecting' your kids from hard truths usually means protecting yourself from discomfort- How to create a safe space so your child actually comes to you — without fishing or manipulating- The HALT tool (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and how to make it a natural part of family life- What to do when you've already said something that closed your child off — and how to repair it- Why you don't need the perfect moment — and how to let hard conversations unfold naturallyFrom psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck's famous opening line in The Road Less Traveled: "Life is difficult." Rather than seeing this as pessimistic, Barb taught Michelle that accepting life's challenges is one of the greatest pathways to peace, resilience, and emotional freedom.“Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult ―once we truly understand and accept it― then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.” - M. Scott PeckDon't wait for the sit-down talk.

What do you do first when life gets hard? Worry, control, complain, shut down, or pray? In this message from James 5, we share how real faith keeps trusting God in seasons we cannot rush, suffering we did not choose, and moments when nothing seems to be changing. When life happens, don't just wait it out. Pray it through.

How Much Does Life Insurance Really Cost? Episode 381 – A recent survey by LIMRA presented a jarring statistic: young adults believe that the cost of a life insurance policy is 10 to 12 times higher than it really is. The truth is that, for young people, the security and peace of mind a life insurance policy may provide may be a lot more affordable than you think. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 381 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: how much does life insurance really cost? According to a survey by LIMRA, a life insurance trade organization, and Life Happens, an industry nonprofit, younger Americans tend to overestimate the cost of life insurance to a startling extent. Surveyors asked people aged 18 to 30 how much they thought a 20-year term life insurance policy would cost. The estimates were off-base. They averaged between 10 and 12 times the actual cost.[1] This is a common misconception. A surprising number of people, particularly younger Americans, believe that life insurance is more expensive than it actually is. The perceived cost was cited as a reason why many Gen Z and Millennial adults, who generally recognize the need for life insurance, do not have it.[2] Why do people get the numbers so wrong? According to author Dan Kraft at Life Insurance News, the answer might be found by studying behavioral economics and the concept of “anchoring.” “When consumers think of life insurance, they anchor the idea to big, long-term expenses—mortgages, car payments or medical bills. The assumption becomes: If it's long-term, it must be expensive.”[3] According to NerdWallet, if you're a 30-year-old in good health, the average cost for a $500,000 20-year term life insurance policy is $215 per year for males, and $194 per year for females.[4] In other words, less than $20 per month. Keep in mind that these are average rates for non-smokers. If you smoke, the rates are likely going to be considerably higher. Compare that to the cost of a cup of coffee, which averages $3 to $4 at Starbucks, depending on the location, size and type.[5] So if you're getting coffee more than 6 or 7 times a month, a life insurance policy could be cheaper. Streaming services are another example of something that can be more expensive than life insurance. The average cost is $70 per month, per household.[6] What this means is that even though many don't realize it, a small adjustment in your discretionary spending could help provide you with peace of mind and a more secure future for you and your family. But of course, we're talking here about a term life insurance policy, and term policies expire. How much does a permanent life insurance policy cost? When it comes to whole life insurance, the average annual cost is $3,662 for men age 30, and $3,292 for women.[7] That's considerably more, but not as much as some might expect. And in the long run, buying life insurance younger may, in fact, be less expensive. By the time your first term life insurance policy expires, the next one is going to cost more, simply because you're older. And that assumes you can even qualify medically for a new policy. Any adverse health development over that initial 20-year period could make it much more expensive—or even impossible—to buy a new policy. Also, whole life insurance policies can accrue a cash value, which a term life insurance policy doesn't. In certain circumstances, you may be able to access the cash value in the policy if you need to, by taking withdrawals or policy loans. The net cost, or difference between premiums paid and cash value, could be considered as the true out of pocket cost of the policy. In some cases that is less than a term policy, and for permanent coverage. But remember that with all types of life insurance—whether term or permanent—the rates go up as you get older. Your second term life insurance policy is very likely to cost a lot more than the first one, even if your health stays the same. But whole life insurance gives you the chance to lock in those lower rates for life. It may cost more now, but with most policies the premium stays the same for life. If you choose a whole life insurance policy, someday you may be glad you did. These are broad guidelines and policy contracts can have different characteristics, even if they're the same basic type of policy. So be sure to compare your options carefully. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can augment or assemble your team and coordinate with your attorney and tax professional to review your situation and to determine the insurance plan that will best suit your needs and objectives. Regardless of which type of policy you choose, perhaps the most important decision you can make is to simply get started. As with so many other things, the longer you wait, the more it could end up costing you.

You've read the books. You've tried the meditation. You've done the journaling, the breathwork, the therapy. So why do you still feel stuck?In this episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, master well-being educator Devi Brown joins the conversation for one of the most honest discussions about healing we've ever had. Devi spent years teaching wellness to athletes, executives, and thousands of students through her Deeply Well podcast and her work at Chopra Global. Then her own life fell apart... and she discovered that everything she'd been teaching wasn't enough to save her.What she built from that breaking point became her book Living in Wisdom... a completely different approach to healing that doesn't start with fixing yourself. It starts with being brave enough to actually meet yourself. This conversation goes beyond surface-level wellness and into the real, messy, uncomfortable process of becoming whole.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why "doing the work" can still leave you stuck... and what's actually missing- The difference between surface-level wellness and true well-being- What "Complex Lived Experience" means and why it changes how you think about your pain- Why Devi's 8-step healing process starts with grief, not gratitude- What it looks like to live in wisdom on an ordinary Tuesday... not just during a retreatIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not feeling better... this episode is going to change how you think about the entire journey. Devi's book Living in Wisdom is available now in paperback (as of TODAY).

If you're running a business that only survives when you're hustling every single day, this episode is for you. I'm Raquel Quinet, and on today's Play Bigger podcast, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about how life threw me off course and the leadership lessons it taught me about building a business that truly works for you, not the other way around.Last week, my world got shaken. My family and I made the difficult decision to move my mom back into her own home and reorganize her care. She has dementia and diabetes, and navigating this process brought intense emotions, unexpected logistics, and hard medical decisions. It reminded me very clearly that life doesn't wait for business plans. And if your business collapses the moment life demands your attention, you're not building freedom; you're running another demanding job disguised as a business.In this episode, I break down the leadership and business lessons I learned while managing this personal challenge:

Hello sister! Real Life Decluttering Week is a 7-day decluttering reset designed for busy Christian women who want a calmer home without spending hours organizing. Each day includes: • a short Scripture reflection • one simple decluttering step (10–15 minutes or less) • guidance to help your home support your real life If you're a midlife Christian mom balancing family, work, marriage, and serving others, this series will help you clear the physical clutter that quietly drains your energy and clouds your focus. Instead of tackling everything at once, we take small, faithful steps toward a home that functions well and supports the life God has called you to live. Because God is not the author of confusion — and peace often begins with clearing what no longer belongs. Today in Day 6, we focus on one everyday friction point — an entryway, purse, junk drawer, bathroom cabinet, or kitchen hot spot — and make it function more smoothly for your real daily rhythm. New to the series? Start with Day 1: God Is Not the Author of Confusion — Start Clearing the Clutter Today and move through the week with us. As a professional home organizer and Christian mom myself, I know how quickly clutter can build during full seasons of life — and how powerful small, faithful steps can be in restoring peace at home.

This week on Mike'D Up!, Russ Hedge returns with a story of resilience, faith, and redemption. After facing stage four melanoma and the brutal realities of treatment, Russ shares how his strong faith helped him navigate through uncertainty and battle fear. He recently received the incredible news that he is cancer-free. But this is not only a story about surviving cancer. It's about choosing perspective when everything feels out of control. Rooted in the message of his book Life Happens…Then You Choose, Russ reveals how adversity can become fuel, how mindset shapes meaning, and why hope is a decision we make daily. When we are weak, God is our strength. Beyond the diagnosis, this conversation dives into leadership, business, and relationships. It pinpoints why community always supercedes audience. An audience tunes in…a real community participates. It unpacks how service builds trust, and how authentic connections always outlast forced transactional selling. Life will happen. The question is: what will you choose to do next? If you're facing a battle, building something meaningful, or searching for clarity in the middle of uncertainty, this episode will remind you that your perspective, along with strong faith, is your ultimate power.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Life Happens…Then You Choose The Experience with Russ & Scott Podcast The Go-Giver How to Win Friends and Influence People The Divine Equation My first interview with Russ   Connect with Russ:  Website Book Podcasts LinkedIn Facebook  YouTube    Connect with Mike: Linktree   SPONSORS: Social Chameleon | Transform Your Podcast   AFFILIATES: Libsyn: First Month FREE with Promo Code BEGREAT Riverside | This interview was recorded on Riverside   Want to become a show sponsor or affiliate?

Sunday Morning Service at Nazareth Community Church with Pastor Jason Fink

Life doesn't slow down just because we feel overwhelmed — and yet so many of us are quietly waiting for the next milestone to finally feel happy.In round two with Dr. Rachel Goldman, we talk about her upcoming book When Life Happens (out April 7) and what it actually means to reclaim your joy in the middle of uncertainty — not after you move cities, land the job, find the partner, or “figure it all out.”We unpack decision fatigue, the pressure to have life mapped out by a certain age, and the trap of “I'll be happy when…” Dr. Rachel shares the CBT tools she uses with clients to help them get unstuck — starting with acceptance, coming back to your why, and making small, intentional tweaks that build momentum. Because becoming happier isn't about a dramatic life overhaul — it's about learning how to work with your thoughts instead of against them.We also dive into one of my favorite questions: how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition — and how slowing down might be the most radical act of self-trust.If you've been craving clarity, feeling restless, or wondering whether you need to change everything to feel better — this conversation is your reminder that joy is something you can practice, not just achieve.You can also check out our previous episode here

To make this statement, which is subjective, we need to clarify what we mean by self-worth. I have nine kids. Did they have any worth as infants? Or no, because they hadn't earned their self worth  yet? How about as toddlers? Kindergartners? My belief is they were born with self worth. They deserve to have value in the world just because they exist. I think of the Rocky Mountains I live in. I don't perceive that anything I observe has to earn its worth. They have worth because they are. Now us as humans, we may want to do some things. Grow and test ourselves. I get that and still look to behave in ways I respect as good choices and efforts. But like Viktor Frankl in a Nazi concentration camp, I want my self-worth not to rely on anything. I wish I'd understood this earlier in my life, as I've spent most of it working to earn my errant concept of, or ignorance toward, my self-worth. So in this episode I bring on a wonderful guide for this topic. Michelle Maros  is the cofounder of Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life, a non-profit that has inspired a global community dedicated to mental health, mindfulness, and emotional well-being, and she co-hosts the popular podcast Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, alongside her mom, Barb, where they have heartfelt conversations blending personal stories, spiritual insights, and practical tools for navigating life's ups and downs. Michelle has devoted herself to extensive training in meditation and mindfulness and has a deep passion for helping people cultivate happiness, fulfillment, and inner peace. She has become a leading voice of her generation— reminding people that inner peace isn't found in perfection, but in showing up each day with intention, compassion, and authenticity. She just came out with a book, Dear Friend: Daily Notes for Contemplation, Connection, and Clarity. I relate it to a daily devotional, and have been inspiring and reminding myself with her daily insights. As you'll hear, I'm gifting some people in my life with this book for Christmas.
