... a 1 on 1 interview like you have never heard before! #UNFILTERED

The reason we keep coming back to the Gospel, week after week, day after day, is because we never outgrow our need for it. Paul's words in Romans 15 remind us that even mature believers need bold reminders of grace. The Gospel isn't just how we begin our faith...it's how we keep going. It's the power that fuels purpose, passion, and mission. When we forget it, we drift. But when we preach it to ourselves daily, we stay tuned into to what God is doing in and through us. Join us for "A Life Well-Lived" as we rediscover the power of the Gospel, the urgency of our calling, and the deep joy of living for something that will actually last.

Have you ever thought about what you would leave behind if you were to pass away today? For some, it might be a fortune. For others, it could be their family. However, Pastor Ricky invites you to reflect more deeply on that question. When you leave this world, what is the one thing that you can take with you? It's your salvation. Therefore, when you consider what you're leaving on this earth, remember that the most meaningful legacy you can leave isn't your possessions but the impact that you made during your life while walking with God.

What happens to us after we leave this world? Well, some believe that we simply cease to exist, while others think that we're reincarnated. However, the majority of people believe in an afterlife, a place of rest beyond this world, and they're right. Heaven is real. Unfortunately, due to sin, everyone is on a path that leads away from it. But that's why Jesus paid the price for our sins. He gives us the choice to live eternally with Him or away from Him. Today, Pastor Ricky encourages you to pick Jesus.

In this heartfelt and personal episode, Brad reconnects with long-time friend and returning guest Jerry Foster, founder of Foster Group. Jerry opens up about his journey—from early financial and marital struggles to building a thriving business and redefining what it means to live a wealthy life. Together, they explore how meaningful conversations shape families, how true leadership often means letting go, and what it looks like to enter a new season of life with faith, purpose, and generosity. Whether you're leading a business, a family, or facing a major transition, Jerry's story will challenge you to reflect on your mission, your relationships, and your definition of success. Jerry Foster is the founder of Foster Group, a Des Moines-based financial planning and investment firm managing nearly $4 billion in assets. His path into finance was anything but conventional—no business degree, no formal training, and a rocky financial start in his early marriage. But that moment became a turning point, sparking a mission to help others pursue meaningful living and generous giving. Jerry is also the author of Life Focus: Achieving a Life of Purpose and Influence, a sought-after speaker on legacy and generosity, and a cancer survivor who lives what he teaches. “That was the genesis of Foster Group—my wife tossing the checkbook at me in the driveway saying, ‘You need to learn this.'” - Jerry Foster “Wealthy is a person who has great relationships, peace with God, good health. Money was always last on the list.” - Jerry Foster “ It seems crazy that a financial planner would stand in front of his clients and tell them that early in his marriage he nearly went broke and couldn't balance his checkbook. But for me, I'm not ashamed, because that is part of my story." - Jerry Foster This Week on The Wow Factor: Jerry's early money struggles and how it shaped Foster Group How a rare cancer diagnosis led to deeper family conversations and succession planning Building a culture of meaningful conversations—both at home and at work Why every Foster Group employee takes the Kolbe and StrengthsFinder assessments The three seasons of life: Foundation, Framework, Finish—and how to thrive in each Creating legacy through intentional family meetings and giving structures The role of faith, vulnerability, and generational generosity How small one-degree changes (vectors) can radically alter your life's direction Jerry Foster's Word of Wisdom The most influential season of your life might come after you stop chasing titles.

Send us a textIn this episode we sit down and talk with Caterina Vicentini in my hotel room in Trieste.  Caterina is a math and physics teacher at the secondary school level in a town – Monfalcone --  that is about 30 minutes from the city centre of Trieste.She is a service user and takes advantage of opportunities like this to share her story to help destigmatize mental illness and to offer hope that one can have a full life --  education, career and family –-  even while encountering the challenges of a mental illness.  Of course, she lives and works in a region that is known for exemplary care.Her first crisis in her 20's happened when she was a graduate student.  At that time, she had been awarded an Erasmus Fellowship which allowed her to study in Belgium.  Then she was offered an opportunity as a PhD student to be a teaching assistant.She recalls for us her first experience of being taken to the hospital, forcibly injected by someone she did not trust, and then placed in a padded room with four point restraints.  The shock of all that is beyond frightening and you will hear about her Houdini-like liberation that took all night long.In 1991 she and her husband returned to Trieste and she shares the stories over the subsequent decades of a few more incidents that would set her back, and how she emerged stronger each time.  Note:  when she talks about going to the “centro di salute mentale” or staying there in one of their beds, this is not a hospital.  This is the community mental health center, which is an unlocked place with crisis beds for those who might need to stay for a day, a week or longer.

Peter Singer may be, as The New Yorker calls him, the planet's “most influential living philosopher." He has written the classic text Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, The Life You Can Save (which gave rise to the organization of the same name) and Pushing Time Away (an account of the life and fate of his grandfather, a victim of the Holocaust). Carl and Peter discuss  the carefulness around spending instilled by his parents at an early age and reflects on the ethics of giving and altruism. Peter also emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between personal enjoyment and addressing global suffering, advocating for a focus on sufficiency rather than excess. He highlights the significance of having a purpose in life and the evolving nature of needs versus wants in contemporary society. Peter advocates for effective altruism, culminating in his reflection on how future generations might view their relationship with money and its role in doing good in the world.  —----------------------------- Livest Well Lived Podcast  Listen to the Lives Well Lived podcast, hosted by Peter and Kasia de Lazari Radek, wherever you get your podcasts.  Episodes consist of interviews with remarkable guests who have lived well, both in the sense of living an ethical life, but also in that they are fulfilled and happy with what they have achieved in their lives. —----------------------------- Follow 50 Fires on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/50firespod/ Please direct business inquires to: blindnilaudio@magnolia.com Cover Art: Josh Passler - TheFinArtist.com Music Credits:  Alexandra Woodward / Rabbit Reggae / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Cody Francis / Wherever You're Going / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It is, of course, sad to hear of Jimmy Carter's passing. On the other hand, no one can say that he was taken from us too soon. This man got more time on the planet than any other America president, but much more impressively, he did more with his time.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about redefining what it means to create a "well-lived life."I challenge the common advice to "go big or go home," questioning whether that's really the only path to a meaningful existence.I share a personal story about a childhood friend, who passed away recently and whose life left a profound mark on his community.I reflect on how society often looks down on those who choose to live a "small" life, by things like - staying local, putting others first, and avoiding the limelight.I argue that a small life doesn't have to mean a small impact.The key message is that we don't all have to be world-famous or build massive empires to live a life of significance. Sometimes the most impactful legacies are built through quiet acts of kindness, reliability, and dedication to one's local sphere of influence.I encourage my listeners to define success on their own terms - and to focus on making a difference in the lives immediately around them, rather than chasing those external markers of achievement.Ultimately, our worth is not determined by the size of our platform or bank account.What matters most is how we show up and the positive ripple effects we have, even in a "small" life.By living with intention, authenticity​, and a commitment to service, we can all leave the world a little bit better than we found it.KEY POINTS:•​ Small life, ​Big impact •​ Redefine success on your terms•​ Quiet ​service matters immensely•​ Authenticity ​over external ​achievements​•​ Community roots bring deep fulfillment•​ Legacy lives in ​our relationships• The Nest - Group Mentoring Program BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Integrative Change Worker, Coach and Hypnotist.
