Let's get honest about a lie holding too many of us back. Somewhere along the way, we picked up this false idea that humility means shrinking, that dreaming big somehow makes us prideful. But here's the truth—thinking bigger isn't prideful, it's faithful. Playing small doesn't honor God. Stewarding your gifts—that's what glorifies Him. So today, we're tearing down the lie that safe and small equals holy. We're stepping into the dreams deep in your heart—the ones so bold and beautiful, you almost feel guilty for wanting them. The ones that whisper, “Who do you think you are?”   Here's the answer: You are His. And it's time to trust Him enough to dream bigger.

Despite the fact that so many of them make it look easy, the daily lives of senior U.S. military leaders can be incredibly demanding. Laura Weimer examined how senior leaders manage their well-being (or, at times, struggle to do so) amidst these demanding careers, and she's in the studio with host JP Clark to share her discoveries. Drawing from her research, Weimer highlighted the unique pressures of senior roles, including frequent relocations, intense scrutiny, and the weight of consequential decisions. She also discussed the inevitable challenges of mid-life, such as caring for aging parents and navigating evolving family dynamics, which compound work-related stress. Weimer's key takeaway? Developing a strong sense of identity, meaning, and purpose is essential for fostering resilience and sustaining leadership effectiveness. I don't know if necessarily it's the Army's job to help us figure out our identity. I do think it would be valuable for the Army to acknowledge the value of those conversations and maybe even prompt those conversations.

Ps Ben Dowding brings an important message looking into how the principle of tithing is seen throughout all scripture and for all believers.

In this thought-provoking episode of Shark Theory, hosted by Baylor Barbee, we delve into the profound theme of personal growth through the art of elimination. Baylor uses a simple yet powerful analogy of his Australian shepherd, Bear, to illustrate how shedding excess can lead to renewed confidence and vitality. This Thursday's discussion focuses on the common misconception that growth is solely about addition, and instead, prompts listeners to consider the equally potent power of subtraction in our personal and professional lives. Using Bear's grooming experience as a metaphor for life, Baylor stresses the importance of "trimming the fat" — both literally and figuratively. Effective personal growth, he argues, requires us to let go of habits, relationships, and routines that no longer serve us. By eliminating these aspects, we make room for new opportunities, skills, and confidence to thrive. Baylor also highlights how this theme of removal applies to managing one's schedule, relationships, and mental energy, emphasizing that such clarity is essential for meaningful progress and self-discovery. Key Takeaways: Growth is not just about adding more; it is equally about eliminating the unnecessary to reveal true potential. Regular reflection and elimination of unproductive habits and relationships create room for new opportunities. Time management is crucial — be selective about who has access to your valuable time. Staying too long in comfort zones can cause your skills and attributes to settle and diminish over time. Embracing change, such as trying new experiences, can help reclaim and highlight your intrinsic worth and strengths. Notable Quotes: “It's the removal that gave him the new confidence and the new look.” – Baylor Barbee “You can't grab on to something new if you're holding on to everything that was.” – Baylor Barbee “Be very, very, very, you know, strict about who has access to you, your time.” – Baylor Barbee “You have so much inside of you, you have so much that has been sitting there idle.” – Baylor Barbee “If you'll just take the time to trim the fat…you'll be amazed at what you're capable of.” – Baylor Barbee

Ps Tim Davis brings a powerful message unpacking the power that money can have over our lives if we aren't careful.

Life communicates with us through symbolism and metaphor, showing us through everyday experiences what needs to change in our lives. • Lesson from a full computer: we must delete the old to make room for the new• Our bodies constantly regenerate by letting cells die to make room for new ones• Everyday incidents hold symbolic meaning if we pay attention to them• Finding a bandage exactly when needed demonstrates the universe's perfect timing• Injury to the thumb symbolized the need to stop holding onto things• Relationships naturally change as we evolve to different frequencies• Past relationships serve as mirrors showing us parts of ourselves• Every person in our lives serves a purpose for our specific journey• Letting go involves grief but creates space for greater fulfillment• Express gratitude for what each experience taught you, even painful onesIf you want to learn more about healing and personal growth, check out my book "Seven Laws of Healing Your Inner Child" available on Amazon now.Book Your DG Mindset Experience Retreat Now Join Coaching For Coaches Mentorship

Lisa and I conclude our conversation on praying with and for one another. I gently consider the faux pas of the G3 conferences VIP experience. Jacob and the family make their way to Goshen and the importance of recognizing the context of evangelism doesn't change- it's about sinners being reconciled to the living God.

It's a very long time since bears, wolves and lynx hunted freely across the Scottish landscape - but the reintroduction of these large carnivores has been a topic of noisy debate pretty much since I can remember. Today, we're asking whether Scotland can make room for the lynx. Hugh Webster from Scotland: The Big Picture believes that integration is possible - while Cora Cooper, an Ayrshire sheep farmer, shares the concerns of many in her industry.For more land use stories, please visit https://8point9.com/

 Make Room: "How To Get a Second Chance" By Bobby Wallace, Preaching Minister 4/27/25 Have you ever wanted a second chance? A Do-Over? We all have. And Peter did too. We close out our series with the 21st chapter of John by looking at how you can get a second chance, even when you are not sure you deserve one.

As we head to retreat from the busy heart of Hong Kong this weekend, we are reminded of how easy it is to rush past those in need—just like the priest and Levite in Jesus' story. But the Good Samaritan reminds us what it truly means to love our neighbor: to notice, to stop, and to care, even when it's inconvenient or unexpected. Making room for others means more than giving up a seat on the MTR; it's about opening our hearts, our schedules, and our communities to those who need support. Let's be the ones who cross the road, who reach out, who make space. Whether it's volunteering during Serve-a-thon, joining a community initiative, or simply checking in on someone nearby, every act of kindness helps restore and uplift our city.

Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!”

Being too collaborative can actually hold you back at work, argues leadership coach Rebecca Shambaugh. Instead of showing how well you build consensus and work with others, it can look like indecision or failure to prioritize. She explains what to do if you over-collaborate, how to manage someone who does, and offers some advice for women—whose bosses are more likely to see them as overly consensus-driven.

Sermon Series: "Mature Me"

Make Room: "What Does the Resurrection Mean for You?" By Bobby Wallace, Preaching Minister 4/20/25 This week we take a look at the power of the resurrection of Jesus. What does it mean for you? What does it mean for everyone?

April 13th, 2025David Comstock This week, we're wrapping up our Make Room series by talking about something that's often messy, sometimes beautiful, and deeply close to God's heart: the Church. Whether your experience with church has brought healing or hurt—or maybe a bit of both—this is a space to rediscover the beauty of what Jesus is building and the kind of community He's calling us to become.

What did you think of this episode? Send me a text message and let me know!Why are we SO drained in midlife? Dr. Sarah Vandeboncoeur returns to unpack the exhaustion so many women feel—not just from perimenopause, but from decades of overgiving.Most of us enter this phase already running on empty, juggling work, family, and endless to-dos. Add hormonal shifts, and let's be honest- something has to give. That irritability and bone-deep fatigue? They're signals, not flaws.We break down the "energy budget"—because just like money, energy isn't unlimited. Sarah shares practical ways to escape the exhaustion trap: setting one true priority, doing daily "capacity checks," and sprinkling joy into your day before burnout hits.If you're caught in the cycle of perfectionism and depletion, this episode offers both relief and a way forward. It's time to reclaim your energy for what truly matters.Connect with SarahThe Website: www.drsarahv.ca/Instagram: @sarahvadeboncoeur Podcast: The Fatigue FixerLinks Mentioned: EP 62: How to 'Do Less' and 'Be More' in Midlife with Wendy McCallumEP 96: Why You're So Tired in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Sarah Vadeboncoeur, NDEP 99: How to Make Room for Connection in Your Relationship in Midlife with Carrie CohenEP 112: How to Stop the Burnout Train in Midlife with Dr. Leigha Saunders, NDEP 132: Why You Need to Put Capacity, Self-Compassion, & Self-Care on the MenuClick here to hang out with me on YouTube!Looking for more about midlife, menopause nutrition, and intuitive eating?

You've been praying. You've been waiting. And still—nothing's happening. So what now?This message is for every person tired of the silence, the slow progress, or the internal tug-of-war between faith and doubt. Just like the Israelites who hesitated to take the Promised Land, we don't always want to do the hard work of belief. But what if your complaining is crowding out your calling?

 Make Room: "What To Do When the World Doesn't Make Sense" By Bobby Wallace, Preaching Minister 4/13/25   Due to technical difficulties during the start of our service, we did not have a livestream or recording of our message. Here is an abbreviated version of the message from John 18. How do deal with life when it doesn't go according to plan; when life is difficult?

Ever panic-clean before company comes over? We've all done it, we hide the mess, throwing comforters over piles of junk and just calling it creative planning in hopes no one opens a closet. But what if the guest is Jesus… and He's not coming to inspect your house, He's coming to take over your heart? This Palm Sunday, we're diving into Matthew 21 and asking a big question: are we making room for the moment, or making room for the King? Spoiler alert, Jesus doesn't need your perfection. He just wants your invitation.

You might think that the bible teaches that money is unimportant (certainly in comparison to more “spiritual” subjects like prayer, forgiveness and fasting). Yet, Jesus taught that money is more important than we realize, but for very different reasons than we think! In today's message, pastor Dan explains why wealth may be God's chief rival in your life. -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada.

April 6th, 2025 David ComstockRomance is a God-given desire that, when rightly understood, points us to something deeper—His love for us. Yet, the world's view of romance often leads to insecurity, disappointment, and compromise. Join us this week as we explore how true intimacy is cultivated, not consumed, and how God's design for love and commitment brings the freedom and fulfillment our hearts long for. Whether single, dating, or married, let's talk about where God fits into our romantic desires and disappointments.

Make Room: "What Jesus Prayed For" By Bobby Wallace, Preaching Minister 4/6/25 Jesus Prayed for You!! That's crazy to think about. What did he pray for and why is so vitally important?  

In today's message, pastor Dan continues the story of the construction of Solomon's temple in 1 Chronicles 29 and reveals how integrity and transparency in every area of your life invites God's blessing! -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada.

March 30th, 2025Paul ChurchFamilies thrive when we make room for grace, understanding, and differences instead of control. Today we're taking an honest, personal look at what it means to make room within our families. We're letting go of perfection, distraction, comparison, and the illusion of control, opening ourselves to deeper relationships - and to more of God. 

When the Israelites set out to build the first temple for the Lord (1 Chronicles 28), King David reminded them that building something great isn't easy, but it also isn't complicated. In today's message, pastor Dan explains how each of us can build a life of significance in God's sight. -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada.
