When Grapevine's elected leaders set out to build something special at the South end of Main Street, they had most of the components lined up: a parcel of land to shape as needed, voter-approved passenger rail access, and a vision for the final piece of the puzzle. For decades, they had dreamed about a downtown hotel. Now, they finally got to search for a partner who could build something to match their vision... while conforming to a few intense code requirements.This is Part Three of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:00:00-02:02...

Jesus didn't wait for us to be focused, quiet, and full of devotion. He came while we were still anxious, distracted, and fuming over someone else's behavior. It was when we were furthest from where we should've been – that he drew near…

Scale-ups kampen vaak met een overvloed aan ideeën, FOMO en de verleiding om alles tegelijk op te pakken. Het resultaat? Vijf projecten afgevinkt, maar het échte nummer 1 blijft liggen.Veel leiders weten wel dat focus groei versnelt, maar in de praktijk blijken prioriteiten vaak een blur. Victor en Bart leggen uit hoe één kristalheldere “main thing” je organisatie richting, snelheid én energie geeft. Ook delen ze hun eigen successen en flaters.

The Main Thing by Kendall FoxLuke 19:1010 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

For all the thought and effort that went into creating a one-of-a-kind development at Grapevine Main, only one component is the undeniable catalyst behind the entire project: passenger rail. Without the TEXRail commuter line operated by Trinity Metro, this defining piece of architecture wouldn't be nearly as functional. It might not even exist. But City leaders planned to be a stop along the route from Fort Worth the DFW International Airport for decades... and even chipped in a little extra to make it happen.This is Part Two of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:00:00-02:22... building for the future02:23-05:00... putting a once-in-a-lifetime project on rails05:01-07:13... the Trinity Metro board weighs in on the importance of Grapevine07:14-09:56... what impact does public transportation really have on development?09:57-12:18... historic precedent for the transformative power of trains12:19-14:40...

There is a famous saying that states, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." It is important in life to keep the most important things in the place of utmost importance in our priorities. But how do we determine what is most important and, if we can make that determination, how do we keep that thing our highest priority? This sermon looks at Luke 10:25 - 11:13. In this passage we see Jesus interacting with an expert on the Old Testament Law, a pair of sisters, and his disciples. In each of these three encounters there is an emphasis on what is most important. I pray that this passage challenges us to make sure that we keep God as the main thing in our lives.

What if your life could become a masterpiece of intentional creativity? Join us as we explore this possibility with Pia Leichter, an author, founder, creative director and guide in this special 30-minute episode.   Celebrating the Creative Potential Within Us All In our conversation with Pia, we dive into the essence of creativity as a vital force beyond the arts, challenging the common misconception that it exists solely in artistic endeavors. She shares insights on how creativity is akin to teaching and coaching, requiring courage and the willingness to embrace uncertainty. We also explore creativity in unexpected domains, from science to law, and highlight its universality, encouraging everyone to recognize their inherent creative potential, irrespective of their field or background.   Shared wisdom and stories, like Pia's rather spontaneous decision to take a four-week journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway, illustrate how we hold the power to rewrite our narratives. We also delve into practical steps for nurturing creativity in everyday life, from morning routines to visualizing desired outcomes, empowering listeners to take control of their own creative destinies.   A Bit More About Our Wise Guest Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur. Influenced by her mother's boldness and her father's artistic background, creativity for Pia Leichter is not limited to traditional art forms. Instead it is a way of life that permeates every decision and every moment.   Pia's journey from Canada to New York and eventually Copenhagen has been nothing short of transformative. A recovering nomad, she's reported as a journalist in Sri Lanka, graduated summa cum laude from NYU, and worked as an award-winning creative director for some of the biggest brands in the world. Now, as the founder of Kollektiv Studio, she's uniquely positioned to co-create ventures and wild visions.    Pia recently published a book titled, “Welcome to the Creative Club.” Her book is part memoir and part guidebook, and it will challenge everything you thought you knew about creativity.   She joins us from her home in Copenhagen, Denmark. Over the next hour, you will discover why Pia Leichter is one of the wisest people I know.   Resources Pia's website Kollektiv Studio Get Pia's book “Welcome to the Creative Club” via our Bookshop or via Amazon   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

For over a century, Grapevine Main Street has been synonymous with small-town charm. The very mention of our authentic historic district conjures images of brick buildings, festival crowds, and a single broad street surrounded by humble structures. Now, visitors are more likely to have a different view in mind: the combination rail station, hotel, and public gathering space known as Grapevine Main.This is Part One of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:00:00-03:35... what Places mean to us03:36...06:35... from ugly lot to landmark status06:36-08:34... drawing the line between Public and Private08:35-09:56... casting vision for a once-in-a-lifetime project09:57-11:39... why do we build new things that look old?11:40-14:05... how a built environment can shape your subconscious14:06-16:07... drawing boundaries and shaping design standards16:08-19:47... transitioning from old to new with the Transit District Overlay19:48-22:59... little details you felt at Grapevine Main, even if you barely noticed them23:00-25:42... a vision comes to life, thanks to two important partnerships

Senior Pastor Tony Foreman from First Baptist Church Williamstown continues the sermon series “The Daring Direction of the Church”. This week’s message “The Main Things” comes from Acts 3:17 , 1 Corinthians 2:2 and Romans 15:5-7 and talks about how we prioritize the elements of our faith.

Acts 7 tells the account of Stephen, the first Christian martyr of the early church. In Acts, Stephen preaches that Jesus is the main thing. This Sunday, we looked at the 4 realities that are true about us when we live in light of that truth.

A few weeks ago, in February of this year, a Representative by the name of Laurel Libby, who serves in the House of Representative for the state of Maine, was censured by that body for what they termed, a reprehensible social media post. As it turns out, Libby had posted about a young, high school, male athlete who won first place in pole vaulting in the women's category of competition in the state of Maine. We need to talk about where we are right now in America on the topic of transgender athletes, as well as the topic of censorship of those who wade into the public square and dare to speak their minds.Liz Lykins, “Maine madness: Lawmaker still banned from House floor over social media post,” March 18, 2025.Nathanael Blake, “Sex and the post-Christian right,” March 11, 2025.R.

Our special, wise guest, Anita Stubenrauch, is one of the most creative people I've ever met. She's a writer, speaker, podcaster and entrepreneur. Our paths crossed when she delivered the keynote speech at a conference I attended last November in Austin, TX. Immediately after her presentation, I knew we had to have her on the show.   Anita is a former Apple creative professional who spent a significant chunk of her career at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. While working at Apple, Anita was tapped to write the Apple Credo. She also created  presentations seen by Steve Jobs and other members of his executive leadership team.   After leaving Apple, Anita founded a retreat space nestled in the mountains of California. It's called the Land of Make and Believe. She publishes a high-voltage podcast called "Hyperactive Imagination." Anita also runs a creative consultancy known as Cause Effect Creative, where she provides guidance to brands and brand builders, executives and entrepreneurs.   In this enriching episode, you'll discover the main thing Anita has learned in her lifetime. Plus, you'll learn about: the power of storytelling; what it's like to work for one of the world's most storied and admired technology companies; and how a creative powerhouse finds her spark and navigates through the wilderness when that spark eludes her.   Anita Stubenrauch joins us today from her home in the hills of Murphys, California. Now buckle up and get ready for a high energy whirlwind experience. Over the next 25 minutes, you will discover why Anita Stubenrauch is one of the wisest people I know.   Resources Link to Anita's website Cause:Effect Creative Link to website for The Land of Make and Believe Link to podcast site for Hyperactive Imagination   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

Kevin Franke Seems To Think The 'Internet' Is The Main Thing To Blame For His Wife's Behavior What kind of person looks at their own children suffering and blames… YouTube? Kevin Franke seems to think the real villain here is family vlogging, not the alleged abuse that unfolded right under his nose. Sure, exploiting kids for clicks is bad, but is it really the root of the problem, or just a convenient scapegoat? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the tangled mess of belief systems, cult-like influences, and straight-up denial that kept Franke blind to what was happening in his own home. As he now seeks custody of his children—and still professes love for Ruby Franke—can he truly separate himself from the toxic dynamics that led to this nightmare? Or is he just one bad influence away from repeating history? #KevinFranke #RubyFranke #TrueCrime #FamilyVlogging #ChildAbuse #HiddenKillers #Psychology Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Over the past decade, leaving the church has been a trend - and the leavers have been mostly left-leaning. But Jake Meador identifies a more recent trend of "right-wing exvangelicals." Whereas the left-wing exvangelicals liked Jesus but weren't sure about the church, right-wing exvangelicals want to keep civic religion but aren't as interested in the way of Jesus. In this episode, we talk about these trends, how we're seeing them in our churches, and how the gospel speaks to them.(0:00) Introductions & Snack Shout-outs(2:49) What is an Ex-vangelical?

In anything we do, we're tempted to get distracted and derailed off the tracks we're on. I keep talking about serving customers as being the main idea - the entire point - in business. Serving the customer is the point of everything else you're trying to do. Everything else depends on it. You want your employees, vendors, and yourself to win. But that happens in connection with your customers winning. You need to keep that focus on the customer. You need the keep the main thing, the main thing.
