Is your brain running on fear?If your brain isn't running on its preferred fuel—joy, it will default to fear. Last episode we started looking at the relational infrastructure of our brains.

If your brain is defaulting to fear, there's a fix for that, and we'll walk you through that too. (It's as easy to remember as J.O.B.S.)Join us on the trail! P.S.

Prepare to embark on a transformative exploration of the heart and soul within the realm of faith. The latest episode of the American Reformation Podcast features Doyle Theimer, an associate pastor with a quarter-century of dedicated service, who brings to light the indispensable role of emotional engagement in the church. Our conversation traverses the rich tapestry of Christianity—where intellect meets passion, and where the personal relationship with Jesus as our mediator deeply influences how we live and minister to others.This session promises an insightful intersection between the science of emotional intelligence and the theology of faith. As we unravel the complexities of mirroring emotions and healthy attachments, you'll discover how these elements are reflective of God's design for us and are essential for leaders striving to forge genuine connections within their communities. The Apostle Paul's teachings on suffering, perseverance, and hope are carefully examined, emphasizing the vital tether we must maintain to Jesus to navigate the storms of life.Concluding this deeply enriching dialogue, we scrutinize the intertwined nature of spiritual growth and emotional maturity. Understanding that our development in one is often capped by our capacity in the other, Doyle and I share practical steps church leaders can take to fuse emotional health with spiritual guidance. By utilizing models like Townsend's and the Life Model, we delve into strategies that can reinforce family bonds and revitalize church dynamics. As we close, we inspire church leaders to embrace innovation and adaptability, ensuring that the Spirit's fruit thrives on a foundation that is firmly rooted in the love of Christ.JOIN OUR NEW ONLINE LEARNING PLATFORM!ENTER CODE - 75ULC2023 for 75% off!

Episode 050 Solving the retirement income conundrum. Featuring David Macchia, Tech Entrepreneur David Macchia is an entrepreneur, a thought leader, and a public speaker focused on communication and tech solutions for retirement income distribution planning. David writes frequently on the retirement income for consumers and financial professionals, and is the author of Lucky Retiree, how to keep your retirement income and create it using the Income for Life Model. In 2004, David realized that there were 76 million baby boomers approaching retirement who didn't know how to turn accumulated savings into retirement income. In the US, we don't educate people how to turn a nest egg into retirement income.  David likes to focus on American women through his Women and Income™ program developed for female investors who are approaching retirement or recently retired.  David makes this complicated subject easy to understand. We discuss: The difference between financial planning and retirement income planning. The problem with the commonly used traditional approach called the total return strategy. The three labels of retirees-under-funded, over-funded and the constraint strained. How to mitigate risks. A balanced strategy includes safe investments and paychecks, ongoing exposure to equities and stock market participation. Nobel Prize winner Robert C. Merton's quote, “In retirement, it's your income, not your wealth, that creates a standard of living.” The bucket strategy. How men and women think differently about investing. Enjoy the show!
