Faith, Friends, Finesse and the Hidden Power of Shoes Guest: Dorchelle Spence Synopsis: When Dorchelle was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, she wasn't ready. She had a career, a teenage daughter, a husband managing a bustling law practice, three stepsons, and a chronically ill mother. What she needed was for the world to stop and give her a minute to breathe. It didn't. Instead, it sent her onto the battlefield. To win, Dorchelle had to dig deeper than ever before to build a new type of foxhole. In it, she put family and friends, the voice of faith, and beautiful shoes. It was those things, together, that ultimately helped her survive. Bio: Dorchelle Spence is an author, certified writing coach, and motivational speaker, lending her voice to topics ranging from self-advocacy and cancer survival to self-worth and the power of shoes. Her book, Into the Gathering Clouds, is a memoir of survival incorporating faith, friends, and finesse. The novel, No Less Worthy, tells the story of a girl fighting against the cycle of abuse and poverty to become a young woman who finds her worth through strength and perseverance. A seven-year survivor, Spence enjoys writing, international travel, arts festivals, and walks in nature.  Dorchelle's Website: http://www.DorchelleSpence.com Dorchelle's Books: Into the Gathering Clouds and No Less Worthy Video Version: https://youtu.be/w508ICjQ4pM?si=iDG6DYFLzWwp0hl9 Chat with Teresa during Live Show with Video Stream: write a question on YouTube Learn more about Teresa here: https://www.webebookspublishing.com    http://authenticendeavorspublishing.com/

Are you building your workplace culture intentionally, or allowing it to form by default? This question lies at the heart of effective leadership, yet few leaders truly understand how their everyday decisions silently shape what it feels like to work in their organizations.Culture isn't the aspirational language hanging on your office walls. It's the unspoken rules that govern how decisions get made, how people treat each other, and how your team functions when no one's watching. As we explore in this episode, we get the behavior we role model, celebrate, and perhaps most critically—the behavior we tolerate. When leaders say they value transparency but withhold information, or claim to support work-life balance while sending midnight emails, they create environments of mistrust where actions and words don't align.Margaret Graziano, bestselling author of "Ignite Culture," brings powerful insights from decades of experience in organizational leadership. Her observation that "people join companies for the mission but stay or leave based on the culture" captures why intentional culture-building matters more than ever in today's competitive landscape. We dig deep into her concept of conscious leadership—creating environments where people feel seen, safe, valued, and empowered—and why this approach transforms both individual performance and organizational outcomes.One particularly transformative distinction we explore is building "accountability without blame." In toxic workplaces, accountability feels like punishment. In thriving cultures, it's an act of respect—a way of saying, "I believe in you, and I know you're capable of this standard." This shift from fear to empowerment fundamentally changes how people show up, speak up, and step up.If your leadership energy became the blueprint for your culture, would you be proud of the result? Would people feel they truly matter? The culture you create is a direct reflection of the clarity, consistency, and courage you bring each day. It requires continuous attention—not a set-and-forget approach, but an ongoing commitment to embodying the values you wish to see throughout your organization.

On Sunday was our annual COMPASSION SUNDAY gathering where we highlight our partnership with Compassion to release children from poverty in Jesus' name. It was a fantastic morning where Ryan Smith (Our local compassion correspondent) shared about hope in the neighbourhood. "God's not dead, he's bread" - Sister Mary Conita Ryan draws from Matthew 15 and the feeding of the 5000 with 7 loaves of bread and 2 small fish. Like Jesus, we need to recognise the people in need and trust God to provide.

God did not create you in his image in order for you to pray a prayer, duck behind a wall and wait for eternity. You were created by God to go into all the world as an ambassador of God - taking on the spiritual forces of the enemy, pushing back the darkness and calling to any and all who will listen to come to God for life. You were made to make a difference. 

What if the workplace friction you face daily isn't just “how things are” but something you can change? In this eye-opening conversation, Margaret Graziano—bestselling author of Ignite Culture—shares how most dysfunction at work is created, not inevitable. Drawing from decades of experience and research in neuroscience and organizational development, Margie empowers us to stop pointing fingers and start looking within.Science shows that 75% of employees experience high stress, much of it due to interpersonal conflict. When triggered, our brain's executive function shuts down, leading to poor decisions. Margie introduces a powerful formula—Performance = Potential - Interference—revealing that removing emotional and relational blockers is just as important as building skills or talent.This episode delivers practical tools like the SCULPT method to shift from reaction to response and strategies for team alignment. Whether you're a leader or team member, Margie's insights offer a roadmap to building healthy, high-performing cultures—starting with one powerful question: What role am I playing in the problems I see?

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE The topic of the Holy Spirit is arguably the most divisive topic across the church world. But the early disciples knew and experienced the power and presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives. So what does that mean for our faith today? In part 5 of our series, “Simple Faith”, Pastor Jimmy explains what the early disciples knew about the Holy Spirit - before the debates, before the confusion, before the division - and how we can live differently today.

What if the secret to exceptional customer experience isn't found in customer-facing strategies at all, but in how you treat your own team? This powerful question frames our exploration with Lynn Daniel, CEO of The Daniel Group, who has achieved something remarkable in an industry known for turnover: a team that not only stays but thrives."If you're not listening to your people, they'll find the exit, just like customers do." Lynn's wisdom cuts straight to the heart of effective leadership. While companies obsess over customer feedback, they often neglect using those same listening skills with their employees. Lynn's managers are trained listeners who approach team members with genuine curiosity and support. When someone faces personal challenges, even something as serious as cancer, they aren't sidelined—they're supported. This creates the foundation of loyalty that translates directly to customer experience.Lynn's approach to hiring illuminates another crucial insight: "You can't just hire for skills; you have to hire for culture fit." He seeks collaborators who align with the mission and bring positive energy to the team. For Lynn, culture isn't an abstract concept or a poster on a wall; it's the lived experience of how people treat each other daily. This extends to his leadership style, captured in his philosophy: "If I have to manage your time, you shouldn't be working here." This trust-based approach fosters ownership, empowerment, and ultimately, results. When employees feel properly enabled and trusted, they take initiative without being asked.What small change could you make today to build a workplace where people choose to stay because they feel seen, supported, and inspired? When you lead with purpose and empathy, people don't just remember—they stay.

If you've ever felt like the problems of the world are too big, and your influence is too small to matter, this conversation with Sharon McMahon will help you realize how powerful even just your small actions can be.   Sharon is a former high school government teacher turned trusted online educator and advocate. In her new book The Small and the Mighty, she highlights 12 lesser-known Americans whose quiet courage changed history. In this episode, she shares the stories of three women whose steady choices and persistence still shape our world today—and shows how small, consistent actions in your own life can create a ripple effect too. Tune in to hear:

The secret to building customer loyalty might be hiding in plain sight—within your own team. In this fascinating conversation with Lynn Daniel, founder and CEO of The Daniel Group, we uncover the powerful connection between remarkable customer experiences and dedicated employees who stay for decades.Lynn's story begins with a resourceful decision in the early 2000s to create a remote work environment long before it became mainstream. What started as a financial necessity evolved into a strategic advantage, revealing that when people are trusted rather than monitored, they respond with loyalty and exceptional performance. Through authentic stories and practical wisdom, Lynn shares how genuine empathy, cultural alignment, and respectful leadership have created an environment where people genuinely want to stay.The conversation explores several game-changing approaches to leadership, including "episodic coaching" that replaces ineffective annual reviews with immediate, context-rich feedback. Lynn's refreshing philosophy—"I'm far more interested in having you beg forgiveness than ask permission"—demonstrates how empowerment and trust become the bedrock of organizational resilience. His three-part mission of having fun, making money, and creating positive impact for clients provides a simple but powerful framework for meaningful work.Whether you're struggling with high turnover or simply want to create a more engaged workplace, Lynn's insights reveal that the fundamental human desires to feel seen, heard, and valued lie at the heart of both employee loyalty and customer satisfaction. The leadership principles shared go beyond theory—they've been tested through economic ups and downs, proving that values-driven leadership isn't just compassionate, it's competitively advantageous.

2 Timothy 2:1-131 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor's crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this. 8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. 11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; 12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; 13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.

Can any woman change the world?  Discover the potential of women to be world changers with this week's inspiring guest, Brooke Kehl! Brooke Kehl, Marketing Director of Eastern European Mission, explores what it really means for women to step into their calling, take faith-driven risks, and create ripple effects of hope across the globe. Brooke shares her personal journey growing up in a missionary family, the powerful influence of other women's testimonies, and moving stories of transformation—like Zara's courageous faith despite its manifold risks to her life. This episode is filled with authentic conversations about overcoming the comfort zone, staying faithful through challenges, and practical encouragement for anyone wondering if they're truly cut out to make a difference. Listen in to learn how ordinary acts and steadfast faith can change lives around the world—and how you, too, are invited to become a world changer right where you are. Catch Up: Highlights from Our Episode with Brooke Kehl Brooke's journey began in East Africa, where she learned firsthand what “risky faith” looks like from her missionary parents. Over the past seven years with EEM, she's devoted her life to spreading hope across cultures, and in our conversation, she opens up about the power of testimony, stepping out of your comfort zone, and why courage starts with experiencing God's love. Stories That Inspire Action Brooke shares the story of Zahra, a refugee from Afghanistan, whose life—and that of her husband—was forever changed by encountering Jesus through a Bible in her own language. Despite facing grave danger, Zahra's courage ignited a ripple effect that started a church among other Afghans and led to an entirely new chapter of hope for many. Another unforgettable story is that of Faena from Kazakhstan, who memorized just one verse of scripture in a prison cell—and discovered transformative love and purpose, now passing on that hope to others in Central Asia. Real Talk: Choosing Calling Over Comfort Brooke doesn't pretend risk-taking is easy. She honestly shares her struggle with comfort and reveals how leaning on God for strength—and surrounding herself with inspiring women—has kept her moving forward, even when it feels easier to quit. How You Can Make A Difference Today You might wonder, “Am I really a world changer?” Brooke says YES! You don't need to travel the globe to live on mission. Opening your heart to people around you—at a coffee shop, in your neighborhood, in daily conversations—can change lives. Every small step, backed by God's love, matters. Connect, Learn, and Get Involved Want more inspiring stories? Visit EEM.org, and follow Eastern European Mission on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

What motivates people to give their best effort without financial incentives? This was the central theme of a compelling conversation with Dan Johnson, a nonprofit coach who has galvanized over 10,000 volunteers. Dan's story begins with a moment of disillusionment during political meetings, where he recognized a lack of genuine problem-solving. Realizing he was "in the wrong room," he made the bold decision to redirect his organization toward meaningful impact, even at the cost of losing most of its funding. Surprisingly, his core team remained, proving that shared purpose can outweigh financial security.Dan attributes this loyalty and growth to what he calls the "volunteer paycheck"—a trio of intrinsic motivators: purpose, ownership, and mastery. Purpose keeps people grounded during tough times, ownership fosters empowerment and initiative, and mastery ensures personal growth and skill development. By moving away from top-down leadership and embracing a model of “radical ownership,” Dan saw his volunteer numbers surge from 60 to over 10,000 in just two years, underscoring the power of mission-driven leadership.These principles extend far beyond the nonprofit world. Whether in corporate settings or community projects, people stay committed when they believe in the mission, feel a sense of agency, and see themselves growing. Dan's insight—that “clarity of purpose attracts the right people and repels the wrong ones”—is a guiding truth for any leader. Authenticity and distributed leadership, it turns out, can drive extraordinary commitment—no paycheck required.

Have you ever wondered why brilliant strategies often fail to deliver results? The answer might lie not in the strategy itself, but in how it's created and communicated throughout your organization.When frontline employees don't understand why they're doing their daily tasks or how those tasks connect to the bigger picture, even the most brilliant strategic plan will falter. This reflective episode explores the concept of "humanized strategy" – a transformative approach championed by Britt Hogue, founder of The Collective Good.Strategy with a soul isn't about replacing logic with emotion; it's about integrating human experience into how we craft, communicate, and live our strategic direction. Rather than a static blueprint delivered from the boardroom, truly effective strategy emerges as a co-created dialogue that resonates throughout the organization. As Mick explains, "When people are part of creating something, they own it, they connect with it, they find their place in it, and they align their own purpose with the broader mission."The episode unpacks three powerful insights: First, strategy should be something you invite people into rather than something you merely present. Second, strategic listening goes beyond words to understand body language, energy, and what's being said in silence. Third, organizational healing is often a necessary precursor to strategic clarity, as unresolved wounds and broken trust create barriers to alignment.What makes a strategy truly great? It includes clear impact on the world, articulates what you will and won't do, remains dynamic yet resilient, aligns macro and micro purpose, and most importantly – resonates on a human level. When strategy speaks to both head and heart, it becomes something everyone can believe in and work toward with genuine commitment.Ready to transform how your organization approaches strategy? Listen now to discover how bringing more listening, trust, and humanity into your strategic process can create alignment that powers breakthrough results.

Research shows that spirituality can benefit mental health and improve overall well-being. And it can play a meaningful role in helping people cope with life's challenges, like living with MS. This week, Dr. Mana Ali Carter, a rehabilitation psychologist at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington D.C., joins me to discuss the positive effects that spirituality can have on the mind and body, and how it's been shown to make a difference for people living with MS.   We're also sharing encouraging initial reports from a Phase 1 clinical trial for KYV-101, Kyverna's investigational CAR-T therapy for MS. We'll tell you about a positive report on two years of data from a Phase 2 clinical trial extension study for Frexalimab, a novel investigational disease-modifying therapy from Sanofi. We'll explain how the decision to discontinue federal matching funds for designated state health programs will have a direct impact on some people living with MS. And we'll tell you how you can register for the National MS Society's webinar in support of restoring federal funding for the MS Research Program. We have a lot to talk about!

Imagine strategy as something felt, not just written—that's the core of Britt Hogue's approach to leadership. After years in corporate roles immersed in data and KPIs, Britt realized that behind every metric were real people making decisions. As the founder of The Collective Good, she now champions "humanized strategy" for mission-driven organizations, focusing on inclusion and collaboration in strategic planning.Britt believes strategy isn't just about decisions—it's about who gets to make them. By involving diverse voices, organizations create strategies that are not only more effective but also embraced by the people who implement them. Her three-phase framework—listen deeply, prioritize transparently, and communicate clearly—helps leaders foster ownership and alignment, whether in a global enterprise or a small nonprofit.In our conversation, Britt shares a powerful truth: inclusion isn't just a moral imperative—it's a business one. When people feel seen and heard, they contribute more, innovate boldly, and own outcomes. As she says, “Do it for the humans, do it for the business”—because in the end, both benefit.
