In this episode, Cami Eakins and Lisa Grund explore the power of gratitude—how it shapes leadership, strengthens community, and helps us stay grounded in an abundance mindset even during challenging times. Through the lens of Career Path Services' 25 Days of Gratitude campaign, they reflect on the partners, staff, and supporters who make hope tangible every day, and why gratitude is far more than a seasonal theme. It's a year-round practice that keeps us connected to our purpose, open to possibility, and mindful of the people who walk alongside us in this work. Tune in for a conversation about appreciation, resilience, and the generosity that fuels meaningful impact.   

Sometimes our doubts feel like a monster hiding in the dark - awkward, intimidating, and bigger than it really is. We try to ignore it or hide it, afraid that admitting our questions might make us seem faithless. But the real danger isn't doubt itself; it's keeping it in the dark. In The Shadow of Doubt, we'll bring that “monster” into the light and discover that it's not so scary after all. We will see, biblically, that God isn't threatened by our questions - He meets us in them. Through this series, we'll give practical tools for wrestling with doubt and strengthening faith. -At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:45am, either in person or online!

In an age where selfies, filters, and outward perfection seem to matter most, Jesus calls us to rise above the noise by the way we live. 1 Timothy 4:12 reminds us that our lives should speak louder than our looks.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that not everything we pick up in life is ours to carry. Many of us hold on to stress, guilt, and responsibility that was never meant for us. This segment encourages listeners to recognize what they can control, release what they can't, and protect their peace by letting go of burdens that don't belong on their shoulders.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that progress comes from focusing on what you can control, not on what others choose not to do. It's easy to get distracted by the lack of effort, support, or responsibility around us, but real growth happens when we stay committed to our own work, our own integrity, and our own consistency. This segment encourages listeners to redirect their attention from frustration to purpose and keep moving forward with clarity and strength. Sponsor: Bankston Motor Homes BankstonMotorHomes.com

On Summer Grandstand - former Australian player and coach Jo Broadbent joined Lehmo and Sam to talk about how she got into refereeing international cricket fixtures. 

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that just because we can't find something doesn't mean it's gone. Sometimes what we're searching for, clarity, peace, or purpose, hasn't disappeared at all. Maybe we got distracted, maybe we stopped trying as hard, or maybe we've just been looking in the wrong place. This segment encourages listeners to slow down, refocus, and look again, because what feels lost is often still right where it's always been, waiting to be noticed.

On this Make A Difference Minute, Texas mom Kaci Alvarado shares how a routine oil change turned into a life-changing moment. While sitting at her friend's Quick Lube in Pampa, she was asked to proofread a letter for a man in desperate need of a kidney. Halfway through reading it, she looked up and said, “I'm O positive. How do I get tested?” That single decision set everything in motion. Six months later, she became his living kidney donor, giving a single father twelve more years with his children. Kaci's story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the biggest differences begin in the most ordinary moments. Sponsor: Hydration Lounge HydrationL.com

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that you were never meant to stay in places that only tolerate you. Life is too short to keep proving your worth to people who can't see it.

True peace and purpose are found where you're celebrated, not where you're merely accepted. Sponsor: Singing River Dentistry SingingRiverDentistry.com

Doc Walker opens the show reacting to Dan Quinn's decision to demote Joe Whitt Jr. and take over defensive play-calling himself. Doc and Anthony debate whether this move will spark real improvement for the Commanders' struggling defense. Plus, Anthony shares a bold take — he wouldn't mind if Washington lost out the rest of the way, arguing that being stuck in the middle of the pack does nothing for the team's future. A top-5 draft pick, he says, could land them the defensive game-changer they desperately need.

Can I really make a difference? That's the question we're asking this week in our Asking for a Friend series — and the answer is YES. In this message, Pastor Shannon shares the heart behind what it means to be the church — not just attend it. Drawing from Acts 3, where Peter and John encounter a man outside the temple gates, we're reminded that miracles, transformation, and real faith often happen outside the walls — on “the porch.” At The Porch Community Church, we believe life change happens where Jesus meets real life — in the grocery store, at the ball field, in your workplace, and around your neighborhood. You were made to make a difference.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm reminding listeners that sometimes you can give everything you have, work as hard as you can, and still not get the outcome you hoped for. But that doesn't mean your effort was wasted. Every bit of energy, focus, and perseverance builds strength and wisdom. This segment encourages listeners to see effort not just as a means to success, but as a form of growth, because what we learn through the process matters just as much as the result.

When someone is struggling, it's easy to draw from our own story and try to relate, but we can never truly know all the unseen details behind another person's pain.

On this Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk podcast, Mary Kay Cabot and Dan Labbe dive into the biggest Browns news from the day: Kevin Stefanski handing over play-calling duties to Tommy Rees. They break down what Rees can do differently to ignite the struggling Browns offense, from sticking with the run game to finding ways to make quarterback Dillon Gabriel more comfortable and confident. With wide receiver Cedric Tillman returning from injury, how will his presence impact the receiving corps and take pressure off a pressing Jerry Jeudy? The quarterback discussion doesn't stop there. Mary Kay offers her insight on the “real story” behind Shedeur Sanders' back injury and whether the team is truly ready to hand him the reins. They also tackle the elephant in the room: the possibility of Deshaun Watson returning this season and what that could mean for his trade value. Finally, as the NFL trade deadline approaches, Mary Kay and Dan speculate on potential moves the Browns could make to bolster their roster, focusing on the offensive line and wide receiver positions.

In an exciting episode of Reading with Your Kids, filmmaker Morgan Stevenson Cooper shares a powerful message about children's creativity and empowerment through his debut picture book, "I Can Make a Movie". This inspiring conversation explores how modern technology and storytelling can transform young minds. Cooper's book follows Nora Rose, a young girl making her first film with her brother and cousins, highlighting the incredible opportunity children now have to create movies using devices in their pockets. Beyond just filmmaking, the book teaches critical life skills like decision-making, problem-solving, and creative thinking. In a world where children are constantly bombarded with advertisements and influencer content, Cooper emphasizes the importance of encouraging kids to think independently. His book serves as a gentle reminder that children can be active creators, not just consumers. By showing young Nora making deliberate choices about shots, wardrobe, and storytelling, the book inspires children to trust their instincts and believe in themselves. The conversation also tackles timely topics like artificial intelligence's impact on creativity. Cooper believes that human-made art will always have a unique texture and spirit that AI cannot replicate. He's passionate about directing creative output towards inspiring the next generation, hoping that artists will increasingly focus on creating meaningful content for children. Parents and educators will find Cooper's approach refreshing. He sees storytelling as more than entertainment—it's a tool for empowerment. By giving children the confidence to tell their own stories, we're helping them develop critical life skills and autonomy.    We also sit down with Blair Williamson who shares her passion for ocean conservation through two delightful children's books: "Birthday Bash" and "The Ocean Protectors". Drawing from her background as a scuba diving instructor and boat captain, Williamson crafts stories that not only entertain but also educate children about environmental challenges. "Birthday Bash" follows Kiko, a mouse on a houseboat dealing with a chaotic bug, while "The Ocean Protectors" introduces young readers to the critical issue of coral reef bleaching through the eyes of two sisters determined to make a difference. Williamson's approach to environmental storytelling is both gentle and empowering, focusing on hope and actionable steps children can take to protect our planet. From discussing the dangers of plastic bags to highlighting the importance of reef-safe sunscreen, her books encourage young readers to become environmental advocates. With upcoming projects including a marine archaeology book and a young adult novel about life as a yachty, Williamson continues to use her unique experiences and storytelling skills to inspire the next generation of ocean protectors and creative thinkers.
