In this episode, I talk with Dr. Mark Yarhouse and Dr. Julia Sadusky about the rapidly expanding language of emerging sexual identities and what it means for the young people we care about. We explore why new terms keep appearing, how identity forms in adolescence, and what teens are actually trying to express when they use language many of us have never heard before. Rather than reacting with fear or reducing anyone to a label, Mark and Julia help us rethink our posture, moving toward curiosity, presence, and trust instead of anxiety and quick judgments. We dig into discipleship, belonging, and how to walk with teens in a way that reflects the steady, un-fragile heart of God. If you're a parent, pastor, or leader trying to navigate this moment with wisdom, compassion, and clarity, this conversation offers a hopeful and deeply grounded way forward.Mark A. Yarhouse, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist who specializes in conflicts tied to religious identity and sexual and gender identity.

Most agents “qualify” leads by asking one question:“Are you thinking about buying or selling soon?”That's not qualifying — that's rushing the relationship and disqualifying people who could become some of your biggest advocates.In this episode, I'll show you how top real estate agents qualify conversations based on relationship value, not just lead intent. You'll get a practical framework you can use in every conversation so you know which relationships are worth investing in long-term.You'll learn:✅ Why leads don't build your business — relationships do✅ How to move away from intent-based qualifying (“Are you moving soon?”)✅ The NOW → SOMEDAY → GAP framework to uncover real goals✅ How to spot the hidden value in “not yet” clients: referrals, future deals, and brand equity✅ A 6-step conversation roadmap plus an internal “relationship check” so you know who to actually nurtureWhen you start qualifying the relationship — not just the lead — you give every conversation a real chance to turn into business, whether that's today, next year, or through the people they refer to you.Comment “FRAMEWORK” if you want my full relationship-first conversation scripts and follow-up plan.

Is there a connection between trust and joy? In this first week of our Advent podcast, Stacy, Jacque and guest host Coletta Smith, explore that very question through the story of Elizabeth. By trusting in God's character, Elizabeth found both solace and deep joy, rejoicing in what God was doing not only in her own life but in Mary's as well.Coletta invites us to follow Elizabeth's lead: to reject jealousy and comparison, to celebrate God's work in others, and to trust that He will faithfully complete the work He has begun in each of us. Join us for a conversation that sets the tone for a season of expectancy and joy.

Running a real estate brokerage looks glamorous… until you're the one carrying the overhead, training, liability, and nonstop fires. After 25 years in the industry — including closing 587 homes in a single year and growing a 35-agent brokerage — Bryan Knisley hit a ceiling almost no one talks about.This episode breaks down the real story behind dissolving a brokerage, moving 95% of agents to eXp, and building a scalable business with time freedom, technology leverage, and an actual exit plan.If you're an agent or broker-owner feeling stretched thin or stuck in place, this will hit home.

Ever feel like your calendar is your comfort? A method of controlling your days? In this week's episode of our James Bible Study series, we unpack James 4:13–5:12 and dive into what it means to plan with humility, live with eternal perspective, and steward both time and wealth wisely.

Ever feel like your heart is in a constant tug-of-war between what you want and what God wants? In this week's Bible study, we dive into James 3 and 4 to explore the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Submitting to God and purifying our hearts can feel counter-cultural, but it is by this that the Fruits of the Spirit can grow. Through relatable stories, honest questions, and biblical insight, we're reminded that peace doesn't come from more control—it comes from surrender.

Over the course of this conversation, we dive into the journey and leadership philosophy of Pieter Van Ry, who leads both South Platte Renew and the City of Englewood's water utility. Pieter shares how he transitioned from a consultant in stormwater management to a dual-role leader overseeing drinking water and wastewater services for over 300,000 people. His story is one of transformation—both personal and organizational.We explore how he manages the two distinct utilities, which are legally and operationally separate. South Platte Renew serves a regional area through a joint venture between Englewood and Littleton, while the Englewood utility is more localized. Pieter splits his time equally between the two, relying on strong deputy leadership to maintain continuity and operational excellence.One of the main challenges both entities faced was decades of underinvestment. Pieter focused early on building long-term financial models and sustainable funding mechanisms. He emphasizes transparency with policymakers, using clear data to show the long-term consequences of decisions. His team successfully leveraged federal funding like WIFIA and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund to modernize infrastructure while raising rates carefully and with community backing—even during COVID.On the drinking water side, the transformation has been more severe. The utility was decades behind in staffing, technology, and systems. Simple operations like backwashes were still being done with stopwatches. Today, that same utility is removing all 3,000 of its lead service lines and has increased staff by 40%.Leadership is a central theme. Pieter believes in fostering an environment where people love coming to work. That mindset ties directly into performance, innovation, and long-term success. He embraces delegation, transparency, and accountability as leadership cornerstones and promotes a culture that allows for calculated risks and learning through failure.A key outcome of this leadership approach is the development of PARC (Pilot and Research Center), an open innovation platform designed to plug researchers, universities, and technology companies directly into the treatment process. The idea is to invest early in flexible infrastructure—across liquid, solids, and gas systems—so external innovators can rapidly pilot their solutions. PARC enables Pieter's team to stay ahead of looming regulations and drive customer value through smarter, cheaper, and more sustainable treatment technologies.As we wrap up, Pieter reflects on his legacy. He wants his departure to be a “blip”—a sign that he's built resilient systems, not just personal authority. And on public trust, he's clear: acknowledge mistakes, transparently share progress, and always circle back to communicate results. Trust, like infrastructure, is built over time—and it's earned through action.City of Englewood Utilities: https://www.englewoodco.gov/government/city-departments/utilitiesSouth Platte Renew: https://southplatterenewco.gov/ Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

Real estate income often feels like a roller coaster — huge peaks followed by painful valleys. Even top agents struggle with the fear of not knowing where the next check is coming from.The truth is, markets don't move in sync. Some crash first, others lag by 12–24 months. If your income is tied only to production in your local market, you're exposed to every swing.In this episode, I'll share:✅Why agent income is so unstable right now✅How markets move differently and why that matters✅Why production-only income keeps you on the roller coaster✅How revenue share creates stability across multiple markets✅A preview of my Wolfpack Way interview with Joshua Smith — who went from skeptic to #1 personal attractor at eXp in just 8 months

A big fight over housing density has been brewing in Littleton for years, and with voters set to decide the fate of Mayor Kyle Schlachter's “missing middle” housing reforms early next month, the debate is getting nasty! A rival mayoral candidate, Patrick Driscoll, was recently caught on a Ring camera swiping Schlachter's campaign materials. So, what's got Littleton so heated? We're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had with Mayor Schlachter earlier this year about where this push for density in Denver's south suburbs came from and why some of his constituents are so upset.  Housing density is certainly a major issue in Littleton's mayoral election, but it's specifically at issue in Ballot Question 3A. If that passes, the city charter would lock in historic zoning rules. That question was placed on the ballot by a citizen-led group called Rooted in Littleton, which Mayor Schlachter discusses in this episode at length.  This episode originally aired on June 25, 2025.  What do you think about the housing fight in Littleton?

Sometimes God's plan doesn't look like the route we expected. In this episode, Craig and Colin dive into the Apostle Paul's harrowing journey through a shipwreck in Acts 27—and what it teaches us about surrender, trust, and faith in life's storms. They explore the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility, how to “let go of the ship,” and why managing your margin isn't just a self-care trend—it's biblical. Get ready for an honest conversation about exhaustion, obedience, theology, and walking the middle road with wisdom. This is an episode for anyone who's facing uncertainty and wants to grow deeper in faith—not just survive the storm, but walk through it with strength.

Littleton, Colorado, wants to ban everything other than single-family homes. The neighboring town of Lakewood wants to allow more housing variety. Norm and Abby dive into what's driving these radically different responses to the housing crisis and what happens when cities try to exempt themselves from change.
