Send us a textActs 14:8-10Now at Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet. He was crippled from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul speaking. And Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he sprang up and began walking.Support the show

Sermon Scripture: John 5:1-9

The post Sermon: Do You Want To Be Made Well? appeared first on First Baptist Church.

Easter VI (May 25, 2025)"Do you want to be made well?" Jesus asks the man who has been sick for 38 years!The obvious answer should be "yes", but it isn't.  In our lives too, we often fall into cycles and situations in which we are not well, but we aren't quite capable of rising above the situation.Into this situation comes Jesus, willing to offer compassion and challenge beyond anything we've experienced before.The art is by Nathan Greene.  You can purchase it here.  I am sensitive to images of Jesus in which Jesus looks European instead of middle Eastern, but I loved the combination of compassion and power in this artist's rendition.

We witness another of Jesus' miraculous healings in today's reading...but the recipient doesn't seem too grateful to be healed. Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy reveal a removed Bible verse and discuss what it means to be made well and why our response to grace is so important.Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

This Women's History Month, Retail Refined's host joined The DealMakeHers for a series of transformative moments — from opening and closing the Nasdaq to sharing an intimate tea with trailblazer Gloria Steinem.Across several days of meaningful conversations and landmark events, we celebrated women's leadership, innovation, and resilience. Here's a recap:Opening Nasdaq For International Women's DayWomen's groups gathered alongside the Editor-in-Chief of Glamour and the Nasdaq team to ring the Opening Bell, marking the start of Women's History Month on a global stage.

It's a scary job.Creating a job for someone with Down syndrome is more than just good business—it's transformative. Emily Scott, co-founder of Dance Happy, shared her journey of building a thriving business alongside her partner, Julia, a woman with Down syndrome and the brand's lead pattern designer."Julia is so proud of everything that she does here. Dance Happy was her North Star during chemotherapy. She just wanted to get back to work," Emily explained.Founded in 2016, Dance Happy produces artisan-quality accessories like tote bags and pillows, all hand-cut, printed, and sewn, with 90% of production in the U.S. Julia's creativity is at the heart of the operation, with her hand-drawn designs driving the collection. Their dedication to quality has led to impressive partnerships, including Nordstrom, Madewell, and QVC. In fact, Dance Happy became the first Down syndrome founder brand carried by Nordstrom.The company is raising capital via Honeycomb Credit to scale its impact. Emily envisions a future where Dance Happy creates "more purposeful employment for people who have disabilities" in an inclusive setting. She described her dream of a larger facility that fosters integration: "We don't want to just create jobs for people with disabilities; we want an inclusive environment where everyone works together."Dance Happy's mission goes beyond profits. It's about showing the world what's possible when businesses embrace inclusion and creativity. As Emily dreams of making Dance Happy a household name, she remains committed to growing the team and maintaining the quality that has defined their success.Check out this remarkable business and investment opportunity at Honeycomb Credit.tl;dr:* Dance Happy's co-founders, Emily and Julia, create artisan-quality handcrafted products with purpose-driven employment.* Julia, a woman with Down syndrome, leads pattern design and inspires inclusivity through her work.* Dance Happy collaborates with major retailers like Nordstrom and QVC while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship.* Emily's fearlessness drives bold actions, from cold-pitching influencers to securing impactful partnerships.* The company is raising funds on Honeycomb Credit to expand opportunities for people with disabilities.How to Develop Fearlessness As a SuperpowerEmily embodies fearlessness, a critical trait for entrepreneurial success. Her willingness to step into the unknown without a safety net allows her to take bold actions, push boundaries, and seize opportunities, even in the face of rejection or uncertainty. This mindset has propelled her and her co-founder, Julia, to scale Dance Happy into a thriving business with a mission of inclusivity and purpose.Emily shared how fearlessness fueled Dance Happy's breakthrough moments. For instance, she cold-pitched Adam Glassman of Oprah Daily at a trade show despite knowing the odds were slim. Her fearless approach paid off, as Dance Happy has since achieved notable recognition, including becoming the first Down syndrome founder brand carried by Nordstrom. These leaps of faith exemplify Emily's commitment to her vision and her belief in the mission of creating meaningful opportunities for people with disabilities.Tips for Developing Fearlessness:* Practice Facing Rejection: Embrace each "no" as a step toward a "yes" and an opportunity to grow resilience.* Pursue Meaningful Goals: Focus on missions and dreams that ignite your passion and drive.* Take Bold Actions: Put yourself in situations that push your boundaries, like cold-pitching or applying for ambitious opportunities.* Reframe Failure: See setbacks as learning experiences rather than deterrents.* Adopt a Growth Mindset: Remember that persistence and practice can lead to success over time.By following Emily Scott's example and advice, you can make fearlessness a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Alyssa is joined by Casey Lewis, founder of the After School newsletter and Gen Z consumer trends expert, to discuss the rebranding and reinvigoration of the stores they grew up shopping at their local suburban malls, including J.Crew, Abercrombie, Hollister, Gap, Old Navy, Limited Too, Claire's, Victoria's Secret, and more.

Susan and Hans provided a sermon dialogue based on the passage from Mark 5:21-43 of the woman with the hemorrhage and Jairus, a chief rabbi in the synagogue, whose daughter was deathly ill. They portrayed these two characters who met Jesus, allowing us to picture ourselves in the story. Through this imaginative retelling, we can be touched by the story and hear what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us through the passage.

Have you ever wondered about the real impact of therapy on mental health? Or mental health on leadership capacity? This week, our hosts open up about the profound and often challenging journey of mental health and the transformative power of therapy. Bri and Adrian share their personal experiences, providing a raw and authentic look at their paths to mental wellness and their thoughts on the struggles and benefits of therapy. We tackle finding the right therapist. It's not just about getting support; it's about ensuring that your therapist holds you accountable and helps you make real, tangible progress, rather than allowing you to stay stuck in unproductive patterns. We also explore the concept of being truly made well. Have you ever considered that some of your unresolved issues might be intertwined with your identity? Are you actively working towards healing, or are you holding on to familiar pain because it's become a part of who you are? Whether you are a corporate leader, parent, or any individual who finds themselves in a position of leadership - we hope this podcast brings you one step closer on the journey to becoming authentically yourself.    More of a visual person?  You can WATCH today's episode on our Youtube Channel:  Youtube: youtube.com/cadriancrawford   To stay connected, visit us at the following places to help as a guide for you on your journey to becoming an authentic leader!   LinkedIn: Adrian Crawford Instagram: @writenewrules TikTok: @writenewrules

In the Bible, God is often revealed as a healer. When Jesus asks a sick man “Do you want to be made well?”, it becomes an invitation for us to embrace the wholeness and new life that comes through him in faith. God is calling us to examine our own hearts, desires, and readiness for the transformation that the power of Jesus offers. In this week's message, Pastor Josh Kelsey shows Jesus' method of internal and external healing by asking us to “rise, take up your mat, and walk”.
