How does faith get passed from one generation to the next? In this week’s message, Pastor Ron highlights Eunice and Lois—two often-overlooked women whose sincere faith shaped the life of Timothy and helped advance the Gospel. Through scripture from 2 Timothy and Deuteronomy, we’ll discover that whether you’re a parent, grandparent, mentor, or spiritual sibling, you can help hand off a legacy of faith. Like a relay race, passing the baton of belief isn’t just about what you say, it’s about living a faith that’s real, resilient, and rooted in love for God. Be encouraged and challenged to lead the next generation with humility, grace, and consistency in everyday moments.

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It's hosted by Liv Bolton. In this episode, Liv Bolton is off to Shropshire for a walk — and a bit of a splash — with Fran Pearson. Fran is the founder of Kitsquad, a brilliant outdoors charity that's already helped nearly 5,000 people experiencing poverty to get properly kitted out for adventures in nature. Think waterproofs, sleeping bags, rucksacks, walking boots — all donated, and all making a world of difference. Fran's passion for the outdoors comes from a deeply personal place. And living in social housing and experiencing the realities of life on benefits, Fran knows just how expensive outdoor gear can be — and how that cost can be a major barrier to getting outside safely and confidently. So, in 2020, she set up Kitsquad — turning generosity into access, and tackling gear poverty head-on. Liv joined Fran for a walk near her home in Shropshire. It started off a little soggy— but they dried off inside the Kitsquad warehouse, surrounded by shelves of donated jackets, boots, sleeping bags, and stories. Wanting to hear more about what inspired Fran to start the charity, Liv also asked why she's so passionate about breaking down the cost barriers to the outdoors. We hope you enjoy this episode and a big thank you to Fran and the volunteers of Kitsquad too! Please be aware that there's a discussion around a period of difficult mental health in it, so you can find more information and support on the Mind or Samaritans websites.

Does God really use someone unexpected to do something extraordinary? In week two of our Overlooked series, Pastor Ron shares the powerful and surprising story of Ehud, a left-handed man whom God used to bring deliverance to His people. Through vivid passages from Judges 3 and reflections on Israel’s spiritual cycle, we’re reminded that God chooses the lowly, the different, and even the overlooked to carry out His mission. This message invites us to consider: What if God wants to use the most overlooked parts of you? Discover what it means to live with courage, purpose, and trust in the God who sees what the world overlooks.

Who in your life might feel unseen, or even forgotten? In week one of our Overlooked series, Pastor Ron shares the story of Boaz and Ruth, revealing how one act of compassion can echo through generations. Through scripture from Ruth, 1 Samuel, and 1 Corinthians, we explore how God uses ordinary people like Boaz to lift up the overlooked, the outsider, and the undervalued. You’ll be challenged to ask: Who needs me to stand up for them today? Whether it’s offering friendship, speaking encouragement, or lending a helping hand, you have the power to be a modern-day Boaz.

Karla Merrell was the first in her family to immigrate to the US from Panama to pursue the American dream. After years of success in the corporate world, Karla still struggled with the scarcity mindset that was passed down in her family's culture. But during the beginning of COVID, Karla faced a sequence of events that led her to step deeply into both faith and generosity. One memorable act of generosity set the stage for an exciting and adventurous life of faith in the years that followed.    Now, Karla is passionate about breaking generational cycles of scarcity and fostering a generous culture in her own home. She invites people to express generosity in multi-dimensional ways, and facilitates connection and spiritual growth in unexpected outreach avenues.   Major Topics Include: Karla's faith and cultural background How her generosity journey began with a single email Learning about the nature of God through her generosity awakening Comfort and hope in total dependence on Jesus A walk through the Women Doing Well process that revolutionized Karla's mindset A view of generosity and money in a Hispanic context Growing out of generational scarcity into a culture of generosity Discovering the power of constant prayer through running How starting a faith-based running group became an outreach opportunity  Generosity as more than money Practical ideas for exercising relational generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “I didn't have a generous bone in my body.” “We are absolutely dependent on Jesus.” “There comes a point when you have to make a decision—do I want to return to the person I used to be, or am I courageous enough to change and become the person I didn't know I needed to be?” “You have to decide if you are going to be a consequence of your background or you want to create a new generational story.” “When you give spontaneously in response to the Spirit, you never miss that money.” “When I decided to stop holding on so tightly to all the things I thought I could control and I thought belonged to me, a whole new world opened.” “The dependence on God is what makes the whole thing exciting.” “Generosity is not just money. Money is a great way to express generosity, but there is so much sacrifice in other things too.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Julie Wilson, President of Women Doing Well (see our past interview here) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman) Fellowship of Christian Athletes The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Luke 16:13 | God Or Mammon?   No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

C'est une marque ingrédient.Marque ingrédient : le branding de l'ombreOn parle de « marque ingrédient » quand une marque B2B se glisse dans un produit sans en être la tête d'affiche.Comme Gore-Tex pour les vestes. Comme Intel pour les ordis. Vibram, c'est ça : un composant ultra technique, devenu un standard dans son industrie. Un vrai label de qualité.Vibram, c'est un cas fascinant de ce qu'on appelle une marque ingrédient.Dans le marketing classique, une marque, c'est un logo, une promesse, une voix forte.C'est de l'awareness. C'est du bruit.Mais dans l'univers des marques ingrédient, c'est tout l'inverse.On parle de « marque ingrédient » quand une marque B2B se glisse dans un produit sans en être la tête d'affiche.Comme Gore-Tex pour les vestes. Comme Intel pour les ordis. Le paradoxe Vibram : ultra technique, ultra hypeCe qui est fou avec Vibram, c'est son positionnement. On est sur du B2B pur. Ils ne vendent pas aux particuliers. Et pourtant, toutes les marques cool veulent bosser avec eux.Voici Quelques exemples : Salomon ACS Pro Advanced : une paire à 220€, semelle Vibram.Hoka x Bodega : collab stylée, semelle Vibram.New Balance Tokyo Design Studio : encore du Vibram.Our Legacy, Asics, Moncler, Merrell... toutes utilisent Vibram.Vibram, c'est le Graal.Une stratégie de branding par capillaritéCe qui rend Vibram culte, c'est son approche : aucune communication directe ou presque.Ils ne font pas de pubs. Vibram n'a pas besoin de créer sa propre hype. Ce sont les marques qui viennent chercher du prestige en bossant avec eux.Sur Instagram, Vibram compte 250k abonnés. Un carton. Parce que ce sont les marques partenaires qui font le boulot de visibilité.Vibram capitalise à fond sur le contenu généré par d'autres.C'est du branding par capillarité.

For episode 75, I recorded an adventure banger of a show with fan favorite, Victor Martinez, at Kenneth Hahn State Park in Los Angeles. Victor is a SoCal based trekker, trail runner, backpacker, solo world traveler, Highlander Adventure ambassador, Merrell ambassador, community leader, and is the founder of the LA Trail Killers. Victor was also our EP 37 and EP 55 guest on the show! I caught up with Victor and we chatted about all his unforgettable adventures from trail running Rim to Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon, summiting Half Dome in Yosemite on his birthday, the LA Trail Killers Philippines group trip, Highlander Adventure Costa Rica & France, and running 350 miles through the Atacama Desert in Chile for the notorious race entitled "The Speed Project." This episode is part of the Trek Talks series where I record on trail conversations with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. It is more raw and candid perspective of our guest's outdoor adventures as these conversations are more unscripted and in the moment. You can even hear the sounds of nature in the background as we are recording out on the trails. **VIDEO VERSION ONLY AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY APP + YOUTUBE CHANNEL , all other streaming platforms are audio versions** Follow Victor Martinez on https://www.instagram.com/vic_of_earth/ Follow LA Trail Killers on https://www.instagram.com/latrailkillers Follow Just Trek on https://www.instagram.com/just.trek/ Support Just Trek on Patreon ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/justtrek⁠⁠ Shop Just Trek merch on ⁠⁠https://www.justtrek.net/shop⁠⁠ Listen to more podcast episodes on ⁠⁠https://www.justtrek.net⁠⁠ Want to send me a message?

In this final part of my conversation with Susan Merrell (author of Shirley: A Novel, teacher in the MFA in Creative Writing & Literature at the Lichtenstein Center of Stony Brook Southampton, and co-creator, with the novelist Meg Wolitzer, of the BookEnds Fellowship novel revision program) we talk about where her personal throughline is leading her next and she shares how she's been writing two different books for the last eight years (OMG). We covered: • Her two current book projects: one about a man haunted by a story he's read and another about living full-time in a “vacation town” thought to be abandoned in winter • Real estate privilege • The books she includes on her writing syllabus and why • Finding inspiration in everything, including cereal boxes • Giving up the plum nature of her current life vs chasing the dream. • Her friend's philosophy—whatever move you make tends to be the one your feet took you to • Why silence is her pick-me-up of choice • Her friend's magnificent roasted chicken Connect with Susan at susanscarfmerrell.com.

In this second part of my interview with Susan Merrell, author of Shirley: A Novel, teacher in the MFA in Creative Writing & Literature at the Lichtenstein Center of Stony Brook Southampton, and co-creator, with the novelist Meg Wolitzer, of the BookEnds Fellowship novel revision program, we talk about what I call inner stuff–the thoughts, ideas, and attitudes that affect your work, even if you're not fully conscious of it. We covered: • Really cool, serendipitous story about how she came to write a novel about the iconic American writer, Shirley Jackson • How she deals with her inner Achilles heel: shame • Meditation as the answer to everything • How the need for validation drives many writers to produce more (this was truly fascination and made me think, hmm, maybe I just don't have a drive for validation, and maybe that's not a good thing?) • How teaching students makes her feel ‘'ridiculously happy'' • How the publishing industry doesn't necessarily support the right books Connect with Susan at susanscarfmerrell.com.

This week my guest is Susan Scarf Merrell, author of Shirley: A Novel, which became a major motion picture. She's also the author of A Member of the Family, and The Accidental Bond: How Sibling Connections Influence Adult Relationships. Susan teaches in the MFA in Creative Writing & Literature at the Lichtenstein Center of Stony Brook Southampton, and she is the co-creator, with the novelist Meg Wolitzer, of the BookEnds Fellowship novel revision program. Susan's essays, book reviews and short fiction have appeared in The New York Times, Newsday, The Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Washington Post. Fun fact: she brushed her hair and changed out of her sweatshirt for this interview, which inspired me to do the same! We covered: • How she first became a published author as a child • Her mother (Maggie Scarf), a psychology journalist who worked on books about Antarctica and Jane Goodall • Her alternative fantasies to writing, like being a swimmer or opening a bakery • How she was a copy editor in the right place at the right time and talked her way into a job as a research professor which eventually earned her a tenured position • The value of a what she calls a vomit draft • How a lot of the times she's working on her writing, she's not actually sitting at a desk and writing—she's baking, or walking, or swimming Connect with Susan at susanscarfmerrell.com.

It's September 2024 and a group of American thalidomide survivors arrive in Washington D.C. to lobby the government for support. More than 60 years have gone by since Frances Kelsey first stalled the New Drug Approval application from pharma company Merrell for thalidomide. Although she stopped the drug from going on the market in the U.S., hundreds of pregnant women still took thalidomide in Merrell's so-called clinical trials, and many had babies with shortened limbs and serious medical conditions. Others had miscarriages or stillborn babies. Here we look at the legacy of thalidomide, the changes in drug regulations in the wake of the scandal, and what happened to our hero, Frances Kelsey.
