[47:36] What happens when 20 years and hundreds of conversations change the way you communicate, listen, and tell stories? In this special milestone episode, guest host Ryan Levesque turns the microphone around on Greg Gazin to reflect on the journey behind The Toastmasters Podcast, ToastCaster, and the lessons learned along the way.From launching a podcast as a Toastmasters High Performance Leadership project in 2006 to becoming host and producer of The Toastmasters Podcast, Greg shares how podcasting transformed not only his communication skills, but also the way he approaches conversations, uncovers stories, and connects with people.Along the way, the conversation revisits unforgettable moments, including interviews that created vivid “movies in the mind,” emotional discussions that revealed the human side of leadership, and the unexpected lessons that emerged from hundreds of conversations inside and outside Toastmasters.Greg also reflects on how his interviewing style evolved over time. What began as a focus on asking the “right” questions gradually became something else: learning to listen more carefully, follow curiosity, and help stories unfold naturally. The episode also includes a few behind-the-scenes stories, podcasting flubs, and some unexpected moments listeners likely will not see coming.Listeners will also hear…• How podcasting and Toastmasters helped supercharge Greg's communication skills• How Greg evolved from question asker to “story builder”• Why curiosity matters more than asking the “perfect” question• The conversation that literally gave Greg shivers while recording• A few memorable podcasting flubs and behind-the-scenes moments• The origin of Greg's “conversational runway” interviewing approach• Why some of the best podcast moments happen completely off-script• Lessons learned from guest and former co-hostSome of the most meaningful moments did not come from carefully planned questions. They came from unexpected turns, honest reflections, and the willingness to go a little deeper.And after hundreds of conversations, one lesson stands out above all: when people feel heard, remarkable stories often emerge.Greg's article, Reflecting Back: How a Simple Podcasting Project Developed into an Incredible Journey, appears in the June 2026 issue of the Toastmaster magazine. .Some additional episodes and resources mentioned in this conversation include:• #082 Introducing Greg Gazin - Newest Host of The Toastmasters Podcast • #084 Meet the 2014 World Champion of Public Speaking, Dananjaya Hettiarachchi • #100 Meet the 2015 World Champion of Public Speaking, Mohammed Qahtani• #104 Surviving Everest & the Nepali Earthquake with Sara Safari• #169 Vision Beyond Eyesight with Deborah McAlexander• #172 Confessions of a Podcast Host• #179 Finding Healing Through Service and Leadership with David Jones• #208 Don't Let Fear Hold You Back with Robert A.

The Ministry of Education has told schools receiving free lunches to not let children take home leftover meals. The Ministry has cited food safety concerns - and says uneaten meals should be returned to the supplier to avoid extra risks. Hora Hora school principal Pat Newman says his school's seen no incidents of any students getting ill from leftover food. "There's no proof - the only lunches that anyone's gotten ill from is the ones that were supplied from the Ministry in the first place. We actually take better care."

Have you ever stood in the kitchen at 7:14am holding two odd shoes and a half-made sandwich, wondering whether it's Wednesday or Thursday? It’s no secret that I’m a hot mess. And mornings (and the 35,000 micro decisions we need to make by 9am) are always extra messy.

The secret? Stop trying to fix your morning. Fix your night. In this episode I share the six night-before rituals I follow, because morning me cannot be trusted.

Discover why extended midday meals and relaxed dining rhythms in France, Spain, and other Mediterranean societies represent a profound cultural commitment to social connection, well-being, and quality of life rather than mere indulgence. This episode contrasts these flexible mealtime traditions with the rigid, time-bound eating schedules common in faster-paced, clock-watching cultures, examining the role of siestas, communal dining, and the deeper social function of food

Depending on who you ask, the food and drink scene in London is either in a state of despair or it's never been in better health. As always, when there is this much noise, it's best to get an expert on to cut a path through the metaphorical fog. Who could be better than Leonie Cooper, food and drink editor at Time Out London, and co-host of Messy Lunch with Gizzi Erskine.Where can you meet a man called Otto, wear a viking hat, and grind up a pigeon into a sauce? Where was ground zero for the natural wine movement? Where are the best pubs in our capital? You'll agree, all very important questions, and thankfully Leonie has all the answers. Somehow, we even get into the contents of her fridge, which will no doubt impress plenty of our regular listeners.Subscribe to the Country Life podcast on Apple PodcastsSubscribe to the Country Life podcast on SpotifySubscribe to the Country Life podcast on AudibleWe also talk about messy lunches (should we be having more of them? Are they allowed? Why were they ever allowed?) and her new show Messy Lunch, which she co-hosts with Gizzi Erskine. Messy Lunch sees Leonie and Gizzi take the great and the good from the world of music and interview them over a slap-up meal, greasing the wheels of gossip and drawing out the best stories from some of the nation's most famous musicians. Not only will it make you hungry, it will also make you wonder why you ever took a job in accounting.I don't say this often, but Leonie has been one of the best guests we've ever had on the podcast, so make sure to tune in and listen. And then go and book a decent restaurant afterwards. Or become a rockstar.

Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend and spent some time with family & friends. Enjoyed some ham. Watched ALL the basketball! We recapped our Easter weekends this morning and we talked about what we were watching the last couple of days. In the news, an update on the Artemis II, a toddler is injured at a zoo after getting into a wolf enclosure, an insurance scam targeting Mt. Everest climbers, a Special Forces rescue of an F15 Airman shot down in Iran, and multiple people are injured when a man drives into parade. In sports, recaps of the Brew Crew weekend and the last couple of games for the Bucks, Giannis & the team are definitely headed towards an ugly break-up, the UCLA women handily beat the South Carolina team, and a look at tonight's men's matchup between UCONN & Michigan. We let you know what's on TV today/tonight and could WKRP in Cincinnati actually become a reality? Heart-warming story about an entire school in New Hampshire that learned sign language because one of it's students is deaf. And two stories about heroes who saved people from being burned to death, including a 12 year-old girl. Elsewhere in sports, Geno Auriemma apologizes for his actions after the UCONN/South Carolina game on Friday night, President Trump signs an executive order to limit transfers in the NCAA, the Dallas Stars are investigating a few fans who allegedly made Nazi gestures during a game in December, and the Brewers latest mascot made it's appearance this weekend while the team was in Kansas City. A list of some Boomer opinions we can all agree on. And in today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a Waymo that was driving the wrong way, a #FloridaWoman who is accused of trying to burn down her husband's house, a boutique owner in South Carolina who won't stop swindling her customers, and a former daycare worker in MN who had a liquid lunch & fell on top of a student.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

K-12 IT veteran Chris Thomas joins The PowerShell Podcast to share his 26-year journey in educational technology, from a high school IT internship to becoming an Endpoint Cloud Systems Architect supporting multiple school districts in Michigan. Chris discusses how PowerShell helped him automate identity management, investigate network incidents, and streamline large-scale IT operations across complex school environments. The conversation also dives into mentorship, Don Jones' influence through Be the Master, the value of community involvement, and the mental health challenges IT professionals face. Chris shares practical lessons on automation, presenting at conferences, overcoming imposter syndrome, and how putting yourself out there can open doors throughout your career. Key Takeaways: • PowerShell fundamentals unlock huge opportunities — learning commands like Get-Command, Get-Help, Get-Member, and Get-Module can help you explore and automate almost anything. • Automation is essential in resource-constrained environments like K-12 IT where staff wear many hats and must support large systems with limited manpower. • Community participation accelerates growth — presenting, attending conferences, and contributing scripts can build confidence, connections, and career momentum. Guest Bio: Chris Thomas is an Endpoint Cloud Systems Architect supporting multiple K-12 school districts in Michigan through a regional educational service agency. With more than two decades of experience in educational IT, Chris focuses on automation, endpoint management, and infrastructure architecture. He is an active contributor to the Michigan K-12 technology community, regularly presenting at conferences such as MAEDS and MMS/MOA, and sharing PowerShell scripts and tools through his GitHub projects.

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sat down with Kaylee Chu, and we talked about one of the most powerful personal transformation stories I've heard in a long time. Kaylee started out extremely introverted, struggling with confidence after immigrating from Hong Kong to Australia. For years she stayed in a small bubble, avoiding conversations and feeling like she didn't belong - until one moment of embarrassment in a meeting pushed her to do something radical: schedule 100 lunches with 100 strangers. What started as a simple New Year's resolution turned into a life-changing experiment. Those lunches didn't just help her learn how to talk to people - they opened doors to mentors, business partners, and opportunities she never imagined. One connection led to writing a book, which led to her first speaking opportunity, which quickly turned into a full-time career traveling and inspiring audiences around the world. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes the fastest way to change your life is to step outside your comfort zone and start connecting with people. Key Highlights: ◼️The “100 Lunches with Strangers” experiment that helped Kaylee overcome extreme introversion and build life-changing relationships ◼️How one unexpected connection encouraged her to write a book - which eventually led to her first speaking opportunities ◼️The behind-the-scenes story of how she transitioned from a shy financial planner to a full-time keynote speaker ◼️The difference between keynote presentations, webinars, and TEDx talks - and why a TEDx talk focuses on a single “idea worth spreading” ◼️How Kaylee and her team created the Next Top Speaker competition to give everyday people a platform to craft and share their stories We also talk about why speaking is one of the most valuable skills any entrepreneur can develop, how telling your story can unlock opportunities you never expected, and why the people who succeed are the ones who simply make commitments - and keep them. If you've ever wanted to share your message, step onto a stage, or just become more confident connecting with people, this episode will inspire you to start. ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Security professional Mason Moser joins The PowerShell Podcast to share his journey from discovering PowerShell through Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches to building real-world automation tools in a security environment. Mason talks about how starting slowly, returning to PowerShell after a break, and consistently building small tools helped him gain confidence and deepen his skills. The conversation also explores the value of community involvement, overcoming imposter syndrome, presenting technical topics publicly, and practical workflows for security and scripting. Mason discusses using Git with AI-assisted coding, building internal PowerShell tools for teams, and how small daily automation tasks can steadily build long-term PowerShell expertise. Key Takeaways: • Start small and stay consistent — even simple scripts like cleaning up files or automating routine tasks build real PowerShell confidence over time. • Community involvement accelerates learning — asking thoughtful questions, sharing tools, and participating in discussions can dramatically improve your growth. • Git is essential when working with AI-generated code — committing changes frequently makes it easier to review, rollback, and understand modifications AI tools produce. Guest Bio: Mason Moser is a security professional based in Oklahoma who focuses on automation, governance, and risk within the electric utility industry. With a background in programming and security operations, Mason uses PowerShell to build internal tooling, streamline security workflows, and improve operational efficiency. He is an active participant in the PowerShell community and recently presented a PowerShell Wednesday session on Vim and keyboard-driven development workflows.

Friday. Brad Crowell 0:03 Fuck yeah. Lesley Logan 0:04 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started. Lesley Logan 0:44 Hi, Be It babe. Hello, happy FYF, our first one on March. Are you ready? Are you in it? This year is just it's going by. There's a lot going on, so much I could say, but we're gonna start with some something that was inspiring and cool, that that I found on the internet. So this is from herstory_feminism. Did you know women's athletics entered the Olympics because one woman forced the issue by building her own games. Meet Alice Milliat. In the earliest 20th century, women were largely banned from competitive athletics, yes, we know, but the Olympic Committee claimed running, jumping and throwing were dangerous for women's bodies, too strenuous, too unfeminine, too much. So women were excluded, officially and unapologetically. Alice Milliat was a French sports administrator who refused to accept that answer. She believed women were not fragile. They were restricted, and if institutions wouldn't change, she would go around them. In 1921 Alice Milliat founded the Federation Sportive Feminine Internationale. I didn't say that with a French accent, I am sorry. Then she did something radical. She organized the Women's World Games, international competitions where women ran, jumped through and competed at elite level in front of crowds of tens of thousands, no permission required. The games were a success. They drew athletes, spectators and press attention, and suddenly the Olympics had a problem. Women's Sports was thriving without them. Under pressure, the IOC agreed to include women's athletics in the 1928 Olympic games, but only a limited number of events, and only after years of resistance. Once women were absorbed into the Olympic system. Alice Milliat was quietly pushed out. The Women's World Games were discontinued. Her organization dissolved. Her name faded from official history. The institution kept the change. The woman who forced it disappeared. Of course. Alice Milliat didn't ask for inclusion. She built an alternative so strong it made exclusion impossible. Women didn't enter the Olympics because attitude softened. The injured because a woman proved the ban was unnecessary. History remembers the institution. It forgets a disruption that forced it to change. So I am just obsessed and with like, I just think that's so cool. What a badass. It's so hard to do something scary and new like that. But she didn't ask for permission. Just did it. And I think, like, isn't that being it till we see it? We don't actually need permission from anyone to do what it is that we want to do. Make sure you just get to do it. So I just want to say, if there's something that you're waiting for someone to deem you worthy of doing, I wouldn't. I would just go do it. And it's really scary. I get it. We're working on something right now that may or may not happen when it when I it's for sure happening, I will definitely shout it out and let you know. But part of me is like, oh, my god, is this the right time? Who are we to do this? We don't have, like, like, we could do it, but like, you know, so just know that, like, you need it all from you. The permission comes from you. Lesley Logan 3:29 All right, we're getting, this is my first FYF that I'm recording, I think, this year. And I'm, I'm just definitely, like, getting back into the swing of things. So if you are, you're like, wow, she sounds a little disorganized. I am just a little bit. Okay, so this is the fyfs where, this is where I actually share your wins. And you guys posted a ton of wins when I asked a few weeks back, so I'm going to read a few of them for you. So I do your wins. I do my wins. And really, we're just here to have a short time together where we go, whoa. Look at all the badasses that (inaudible) like women, you guys are so amazing. I know we have a few good men who listen. Thanks so much. But I'm really but I'm really so proud of how we can constantly find wins in all the muck, right? So this is from Yasmin. She said my biggest win is one week without Instagram to focus on other things. Yasmin, the time I'm recording this like I have to tell you right now, I actually haven't posted in days. I've just been kind of reposting from Profitable Pilates and Be It Till You See It, be it till I see it. And I'm like, why don't we call it Be It Till We See It. It's a group effort. And I am loving it because I have to have focus on other things, like it's being the beast is annoying, and so I'm so happy for you. What that is such a huge win, by the way, because it's kind of addictive. All right. Rachel from Seattle, rach.sos.vib, she wrote, I skied, taught fantastic classes and learned how to use earphones to record with Zoom for eLevate. You know what? Huge wins. You went out, took a break when skiing. You know, you had some fantastic classes that you you taught, like, way to pat yourself on the back. I love that. And then you learned how to use some earphones to record it. You know what? We all have to be beginners again. There's always something to be a beginner and like, it's so good for our brains to do that. So, way to go. All right, one more win from you guys. This is from anniecaminpilates. My wins, being present with my kiddos, getting decent sleep, getting outside for movement and fresh air despite crazy winter weather. You know what? Let me just say, huge win. If you can do all of that with kiddos and crazy winter weather, you're you're kicking ass. So you see how wins can be like something like so simple, I just didn't do Instagram for a week. Like, I am on a mission for more women to see that they are winning at things. They're winning at life because the world is trying to tell us that we're not, and they're doing that because if we banded together, we'd kick some ass, we'd run the world. We'd harness the sun's energy. That's what my yoga teacher said this morning, and I couldn't agree more. Lesley Logan 5:38 All right, so let me tell you my win. So here's where, while we're talking, I have actually had my annual visit with my lady doctor. I scheduled my MRI for my breast visits, and I met with a psychiatrist about my ADHD, and I met with a breast doctor about my high risk. So I am just saying, like, just saying, like, wow, it's March 6, and I've done all the important doctor's appointments I need to do this year, and I just, I'm so proud of myself. I call that a win, especially for someone who hates making phone calls, like I really do. And then the MRI was not easy. I actually had to drive there because, like, scheduling over the phone is just a disaster with doctor's offices these days. In the year of our Lord 2026 with all the AI in the world, you got to go in person if you want to get an appointment that actually can be kept, because, if you remember, last year, they rescheduled it multiple times because it kept getting scheduled during someone's lunch. How does that happen? How does it happen? Lunches should be blocked out. So anyways, my win is like we got them all done, and it's only March. I've got a plan for this year. I'm really excited. I'll share more about my ADHD journey as I have information for you, but just freaking stoked. Lesley Logan 6:42 So now let's give you a mantra and send you on your amazing way. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. What a fun mantra to draw on this day. Every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. Yes, every act of self-care is a step toward my best self. I mean, every act of self-care is a step toward being it till you see it, babe. All right, you know what to do. Send this to a friend who needs to hear it. Go, send your wins into the beitpod.com/questions you can send your questions there as well. And then, you know, share this episode with a friend. I already said that. So why don't you share this episode with a friend? Then, you know, go Be It Till You See It. Go, have a good day. Thanks so much. Bye.

In this episode of The PowerShell Podcast, Andrew Pla sits down with Pablo Correchel, an early-career IT professional who is publicly documenting his PowerShell and learning journey. Just one year into his first help desk role while studying cybersecurity, Pablo shares how consistent practice, sharing what you learn, and embracing beginner questions have accelerated his learning. The conversation explores escaping “tutorial hell,” using AI as a learning tool instead of a shortcut, understanding objects and the pipeline, and why putting yourself out there is one of the fastest ways to grow in tech. This episode is a reminder that you don't have to be an expert to contribute... You just have to start. Key Takeaways: • Learning in public accelerates growth – Sharing small wins and exercises builds confidence, invites mentorship, and creates unexpected opportunities. • Understand the fundamentals deeply – Concepts like objects, the pipeline, Get-Help, Get-Member, and Get-Command form the foundation for long-term PowerShell success. • Use AI strategically – Treat AI as a tutor that challenges you, not a script generator that robs you of learning. Guest Bio: Pablo Correchel is an IT support professional based in Florida and a cybersecurity student at St. Petersburg College. With interests spanning cybersecurity, coding, cloud, and Windows environments, Pablo represents the next generation of IT professionals building skills through curiosity, consistency, and community.

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy
The Deep Theology of Sexual Unity (With Some Fun!): Interview with Randy and Rozanne Frazee You're not just trying to survive another week. You're not just trying to get the kids fed, keep the peace, and hold your marriage together with duct tape and prayers. You're living inside a bigger story—whether you realize it or not. When you start seeing your marriage through God's storyline instead of just your stress and circumstances, something shifts. Not overnight. Not magically. But deeply. Steadily. For real. And that's exactly what Randy and Rozanne Frazee unpacked in today's episode. In this episode, you're getting a conversation that is both wildly profound and surprisingly fun. Because yes—you can talk about theology, the Trinity, the image of God, and sexual unity… and still laugh. And that's exactly what happens when you sit down with Randy and Rozanne. They've spent decades helping believers understand the Bible not as scattered verses—but as one cohesive story of God's love and pursuit. Randy has been a pastor for 38 years and had a personal mentoring relationship with Dallas Willard—so much so that Dallas asked him to rewrite Renovation of the Heart for students. And Randy and Rozanne are not just brilliant—they're the real deal. High school sweethearts, married 44 years (going on 45), four kids, and now five grandbabies in the mix. What makes this episode so special is this: They don't just talk about the Bible. They talk about how the Bible transforms marriage, unity, and yes… even your sex life. You Keep Reading the Bible Like a Reference Book… But It's Actually a Love Story You've probably been taught to read the Bible in pieces: a Proverb for wisdom a Psalm for comfort a verse for anxiety a passage when your marriage is hard And those are good. But if you only ever grab the Bible for a quick fix, you can miss the whole point: it's one grand love story—from Genesis to Revelation—about the lengths God will go to get you back. When you start seeing Scripture as one unfolding narrative, you stop reading it like a scattered collection of morals… and you start hearing it like a steady message: God is pursuing you. God is restoring you. God is rewriting what sin tried to destroy. And yes—this includes your marriage. You're Not Just Living a Life… You're Living a Story You live in what Randy and Rozanne call the "lower story": Lunches. Laundry. Bills. Hormones. Conversations you're avoiding. Tension you can't name. The ache of feeling alone, even though you're married. And it's real. But there's also an "upper story" happening at the same time: God's bigger plan, God's spiritual reality, God's redemptive work that you can't always see while you're in the middle of the mess. You see it clearly in Scripture: Job experiences devastating loss in his lower story… while an unseen spiritual battle is happening in the upper story. Joseph is betrayed, enslaved, and forgotten in his lower story… but God is positioning him in the upper story to preserve His people. That's why Joseph can say, "What you meant for evil, God meant for good." It doesn't mean the lower story didn't hurt. It means the pain wasn't the point. So ask yourself: What if the hard thing you're living through right now isn't proof you're failing… but proof God is working? God Created Marriage to Reflect His Image—and Sin Has Been Trying to Ruin It Ever Since You've heard the phrase "two become one." But you might not realize how sacred that actually is. Marriage wasn't just meant to be companionship. It was meant to reflect something divine: unity, love, covenant, oneness. In the beginning, God says, "It is not good for man to be alone." And you can read that like, "Aw, God wanted Adam to have a friend." But it's deeper. God Himself is relationship—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not isolated. Not independent. Not self-focused. Unity. So when God creates marriage, He's not just giving Adam a partner. He's giving humanity a living picture of His image. And that's why the enemy attacks it so relentlessly. Because if your marriage reflects God's love, covenant, and unity… it becomes a threat to darkness. You Can Know Scripture… and Still Not Live It One of the most powerful themes Randy and Rozanne address is something you've probably seen too: You've met people who know the Bible. They can quote verses. They can correct theology. They can debate Greek words. And yet… They aren't gentle. They aren't kind. They aren't tender. And you're left thinking: How can someone love God's Word and still not look like Jesus? Randy explains this through something he learned from Dallas. He describes the difference between: believing something is the "right answer" versus believing it as a "way of life" And this matters for your marriage, because it's the difference between: knowing what love is supposed to look like and actually becoming the kind of person who naturally loves well The "12-Inch Journey" That Changes Everything Randy talks about the journey from: Head knowledge → Heart transformation And he explains it in a way that lands: When Jesus says, "Turn the other cheek," He isn't just commanding you to grit your teeth and try harder. He's describing what becomes natural when your heart has been reshaped. And that is what every marriage needs. Not just more information, but more transformation. Sexual Unity Isn't Just Physical… It's Theological If you've ever wondered why marriage feels so sacred—and so fiercely contested—this is why. Lean in, because this is where things get breathtaking. Randy explains the concept that: God is three Persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) who share one Being And marriage—two becoming one—is meant to reflect that kind of unity. Not perfectly. Not as God. But as an earthly image. And Rozanne brings it back to the practical: Sexual intimacy bonds you in a way nothing else does. It is not "just physical." It is a sacred expression of covenant oneness. And when you treat your spouse like an "other" instead of part of your own being… You start wounding your marriage from the inside. You Don't Need Your Husband to Be a Seminary Graduate to Be a Spiritual Leader If you're a wife reading this, you may be carrying a burden you were never meant to carry: "I'm the one who prays." "I'm the one who gets us to church." "I'm the one trying to get him to lead." "I'm exhausted." And if you're a husband reading this, you may feel stuck too: "She knows more than I do." "I don't even know where to start." "I work hard, but I still feel like I'm failing." Here's something freeing: Spiritual leadership isn't about being the most impressive. It's about being the one who initiates. The leader is the starter. The one who creates space where spiritual thriving can happen. That might look like: "Hey, let's read something together for 15 minutes." "Let's pray before dinner." "We're going to church as a family." "I want God in our home, and I want to learn." That's leadership. And yes—your wife might know more Scripture right now. But what she's been longing for isn't your performance. It's your presence. Your courage. Your initiation. If You Want Him to Rise, Stop Coaching His Weakness and Start Naming His Strength This is where it gets tender. Because if you're honest, you've probably tried to motivate him with disappointment. You've tried to push him into leadership by pointing out everything he's not doing. You want to feel safe. You want to feel supported. You want to be led. But here's something you need to understand about men: Men move toward competency, not incompetency. If you highlight his failure, he retreats. If you honor his effort, he leans in. So if he makes even a small move—don't critique it. Celebrate it. If he picks up a Bible, don't correct how he reads it. If he prays, don't edit his words afterward. If he initiates church, don't mention that it's "about time." Instead, try this: "Thank you. That meant a lot." "I feel cared for when you do that." "I'm grateful you're leading our family." This isn't fake flattery. It's faith. It's calling out the man you want him to become—while giving him a reason to keep going. Your Intimacy Will Not Heal If You Keep Avoiding the Scariest Conversations One of the enemy's favorite strategies is fear—specifically fear that keeps you from talking honestly about intimacy. You live with this person. You share a bed. You share a home. So why does it feel terrifying to say what you want? What you need? What hurts? What you're longing for? Because intimacy is powerful. And the enemy knows if he can keep you silent, he can keep you disconnected. But if you can learn to speak with tenderness, honesty, and safety… You can rebuild something beautiful. And here's the truth: Sex isn't dirty. It's sacred. It's a physical expression of covenant oneness. And when joy rises in your relationship, romance often rises too. Not because you force it. But because safety creates desire. And desire grows where connection is nurtured. You Don't Need Two Hours a Day. You Need One Small Step of Obedience. You might be thinking, "Okay… but I'm tired. Our life is chaotic. Where do we even begin?" Begin small. Set a timer. Fifteen minutes. That's it. Obedience comes before blessing. And when you take one small step toward God together, it does something inside you. It starts moving belief from your head to your heart—where real transformation happens. Little by little, fruit grows. And fruit isn't for the tree. Fruit is for the person who tastes it. Which means: your spiritual growth is meant to bless your spouse. Your Next Step: See the Bible as One Story (Not a Scavenger Hunt) Randy and Rozanne recently released a book called Encountering God's Love: From Genesis to Revelation. And their heart behind it is simple: Most believers don't struggle because they don't love God. They struggle because they don't understand the storyline. They know verses… but not the narrative. So this book is designed as 52 weeks of bite-sized pieces, walking you through Scripture chronologically, helping you see: God's story your story and how your marriage fits into redemption And yes—this is something you can do as a couple. Even if you're exhausted. Even if you're busy. Even if you feel behind. Final Encouragement Your marriage isn't just a relationship you manage. It's a covenant you steward. And if you've been living like the lower story is all there is—God is inviting you to look up. He's writing something. Even here. Even now. Even in your marriage. So take a breath. Ask Him what He's doing in the upper story. And take the next step. Because your story isn't over. And God is very, very good at bringing dead things back to life. Including you. Including your spouse. Including your intimacy. Including your marriage. Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - Want to check out Encountering God's Love for yourself?

PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "The atmosphere in our home was very toxic with lots of hollering and hurtful things said. There was no fun or joy. We were just existing. This affected my thought life as I was very disappointed in myself and felt like I was a hypocrite as I am a leader in our local church and lots of people look up to me. I felt like God was even disappointed in me. I felt shame for not being a good wife...[Now,] I have become more aware of my actions and reactions to my husband, and realized I have the power, with God's help, to make our marriage good and to love my husband well. The tools I have learned in DW will forever be in and on my mind as I focus on becoming the wife God desires me to be. I have learned that sex is good and holy and also meant to be pleasurable for me! The atmosphere in our home is changing and playfulness is back!"

Recently retired PowerShell icon Don Jones joins The PowerShell Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation on career ownership, community leadership, and building a life that aligns with what you actually value. Don reflects on the difference between your job and your career, why investing in yourself pays off, and how asking better questions can change the way you influence decisions at work. The episode also dives into Don's journey as a fiction author, his role in shaping the PowerShell community and Summit culture, and why real success comes from clarity, kindness, and helping others win. Key Takeaways: • Your employer owns your job, but you own your career—define your destination and build the skills to get there. • Strong careers are built on outcomes, not tools—focus on saving time, reducing errors, and delivering measurable business value. • Community scales when you empower others—create space for people to contribute, own wins, and multiply the impact beyond yourself. Guest Bio: Don Jones is a foundational figure in the PowerShell community, known for his decades of teaching, writing, and advocacy for automation and professional growth. A former Microsoft MVP, Don co-authored the widely influential Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches series and helped shape community culture through conferences, mentorship, and leadership.

Today's a special treat. I'm sitting down with Jessica Nelson & Stephanie Lindsey, co-founders of AI for Interiors and principals of Etch Design Group, a nationally recognized design firm based in Austin, TX. When I first met them at a design retreat last year, I assumed we'd just be swapping project stories, not talking AI strategy. Then I realize these two are leading the conversation on how interior designers can use AI in a way that's practical, creative, and actually makes sense for real studios. Jessica and Stephanie bring more than 30 years of combined experience, both as working designers and as tech-minded educators who know the ins and outs of this business. Their company, AI for Interiors, helps designers use tech to streamline workflow and automate the messy stuff without losing creativity, connection, or design vision.
