In this week's message from the "Make Room" series, we explore what it means to welcome Jesus into the most intimate areas of our lives—specifically, the bedroom. Centered on John 8:1–11, the story of the woman caught in adultery, we're reminded of Jesus' radical grace and His invitation to transformation over condemnation. This sermon challenges us to move beyond shame, legalism, and cultural distortion, and instead embrace the healing, redemptive intimacy that Christ offers.

Do you crave a relationship that's fast-paced, full of possibilities, and built on action, ambition, and mutual hustle? If so, you may be the Wheeler Dealer LoveType (ESTJ on the Myers-Briggs personality test)—the bold, pragmatic go-getter who turns dreams into deals and wants a partner who's just as driven. On our Love University podcast, we explored the romantic firepower of the Wheeler Dealer—one of the most dynamic and forward-moving LoveTypes from my book LoveTypes (lovetype.com). Here's what we uncovered: As a Wheeler Dealer, you love to lead, organize, and execute. You thrive on results—whether it's launching a business, planning a major trip, or crushing your goals side-by-side with a partner-in-action. You're the type who thinks love should be useful and exciting—about building something real and lasting together. You believe in fun, excitement, smart risks, and doing what works—especially if it gets you both further, faster. At the same time, your strong personality and focus on achievement can sometimes overshadow emotional nuance. You may struggle with vulnerability or grow impatient with partners who aren't as efficient or goal-oriented as you are. You want passion—but also progress. And if you feel that your time or effort isn't respected, you won't stick around for very long. The good news? When you match with someone who shares your appetite for adventure and appreciates your powerhouse drive, love becomes not just satisfying—it becomes an empire. To help you find and keep your ideal co-creator in life and love, consider these power moves: Pick a Partner Who Plays to Win With You: You don't want a bystander—you want a collaborator. Look for someone who supports your vision, shares your energy, and isn't afraid to dream big and move fast. Make Room for Heart, Not Just Hustle: Your natural strength is action—but don't forget the power of emotional connection. A little softness, presence, and listening can deepen your bond beyond strategy and plans. Celebrate Your Inner CEO of Love: You run things well—whether in business or romance. Just be sure your partner feels like a true equal, not just a team member on your mission. Remember: Shared leadership equals shared joy. Ultimately, your love story will thrive when it's fueled by passion, purpose, and mutual respect. With the right partner by your side, you won't just build a relationship—you'll build a legacy—one thrilling, laughter-filled deal at a time.

You're standing in front of a mess…clothes, memories, identities…scattered on the floor. A rod gives out, a shelf falls, or maybe your inner structure does. It looks like chaos, but it might just be intuition telling you: it's time to release the weight, it's time to let go. Whether it's a closet full of old identities, a childhood belief you've outgrown, or a lingering fear that you're still “too much,” life finds ways to show us what no longer fits. But what if that collapse isn't a failure but an invitation to release, integrate, and reclaim ourselves? It's a shift trigger - another opportunity for curiosity, attention, circulation, and appreciation. How do we use the “falling rod” to grow further? What happens when we treat a shift trigger with curiosity? In this episode, we explore how closet collapses and pickleball revelations can support intuition and gently guide us toward more freedom, more play, and presence.   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  When the rod breaks What does a fallen closet rod have to do with personal transformation, and why do breakdowns often come before breakthroughs?

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with actress/artist Angela Cartwright! Born in England, Angela is the younger sister of actress Veronica Cartwright. As a child she was cast as the cute little stepdaughter, Linda Williams, on The Danny Thomas Show. She was on the show from 1957 to 1964. After that, she was cast as Brigitta in the popular Julie Andrews movie The Sound of Music. Soon after, she returned to series TV as Penny Robinson, young teenage space traveler, in Lost in Space, which ran from 1965-1968. Even with cheap special effects and a hokey story line, the show is still popular today. In 1970 Angela had a part in Make Room for Granddaddy, a sequel to the original series, but the show was soon canceled. Since that time, she has made a life outside of films.

God is a speaking God. From the beginning, creation itself is a result of God speaking.When God speaks, there is always a response.

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.

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
