This week at Crossroads, Christian comedian and leader Michael Jr. shared his testimony of how he came to know Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Tune in for a good laugh and empowering message of how Jesus transforms!

Michael Jr. is a world class comedian who is not out to just get laughs. He is out to “give people the opportunity to laugh” and help set the stage for meaningful, purposeful content of the heart and soul. His personal mission is to “comedically inspire people to walk in their purpose.” He is accomplishing this in massive numbers while on stage with The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel, Comedy Central, Oprah's Super Soul Sunday and Tedx Talks. He's featured in the movie, “Selfie Dad.” So I connected with Michael Jr while he was on set somewhere and we had our conversation via phone, which I never do. So while the audio is clear, it's via phone. I was also with renowned businessman and author, Mark Timm, who actually introduced me to Michael Jr.. In this conversation you will hear how Michael views that all of us, in living our lives, are preparing and setting the stage. For what? For the punchline of our lives. The deliverable. Without that, it is simply a life of always preparing but never coming to the table with an offering. So listen in to this interview and we believe you will be significantly inspired and empowered to do just that - Deliver.

It's difficult to keep our cool when disagreements and tension crop up in our relationships. Yet, this is the moment when we most need to be calm and curious.

Comedic thought leader, author and actor Michael Jr. sat down with Craig Groeschel at the 2024 Global Leadership Summit and shared what we often get wrong about conflict.  He unpacked how becoming internally curious is a key tool to unlock the true gift that disagreements can bring to our lives. This episode is for anyone who is looking for practical ways to reframe conflict in any area of your life.

In his first solo episode on the Strong by Design podcast, Jared Haley speaks to the reality of how difficult it is for many of us to manage our time well. In our culture, we are consistently being pulled in a thousand directions. So, how do we determine the best way to manage our time? To answer this question, Jared points to the reality that the Bible actually can help us discern what is important, and what is a priority. We can even look into the very life of Jesus himself to teach us how to manage our time, live within boundaries, and develop healthy rhythms.  "We have to understand the why behind what we are doing. If we don't understand the why, then the what becomes confusion. It becomes cloudy."       — Jared Haley Time Stamps00:20 - Welcome to the Strong By Design podcast! 00:44 - Join us today as Jared Haley hosts a special solo episode 01:08 - Jared discusses biblical principles for managing our time 05:45 - Discover five practices to intentionally manage our time 09:18 - 'Know Your Why' with Michael Jr. 13:28 - Understanding the 'Why' behind what we are doing 16:50 - How to develop healthy rhythms 27:40 - The power of reinforcing healthy boundaries in your life 33:04 - How to escape the noise of technology and take back your time 41:40 - Key takeaways from the episode 44:55 - Please share and leave ratings & reviews for the SBD podcast Resources:·       Know Your Why featuring Michael Jr.·       Redeeming Your Time: 7 Biblical Principles for Being Purposeful, Present, and Wildly Productive: Jordan Raynor·       The Bullet Journal Method: Ryder Carroll·       Rhythms of Grace: Life Saving Disciplines for Spiritual Leaders: David O Williams Connect with Jared:·       Instagram·       FacebookSupport the showConnect w/ CriticalBench: Youtube Facebook Instagram CriticalBench.com StrongByDesignPodcast.com

Living Water Series | Life Is A Classroom - Pastor Josh Burfeind In John 16, Jesus sets us up for a lifetime of learning by explaining that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all the truth. But what does that look like on a daily basis? In Part 6 of our summer series, "Living Water," Student Pastor Josh Burfeind outlines some contexts where the Holy Spirit is teaching us as Jesus said He would. Similar to an elementary writing class, the Lord helps us trace the same truths repeatedly through different circumstances to learn about God, ourselves, and the world around us. Scriptures: John 16:12-15 NIV John 8:32 NIV "The Holy Spirit Deepens Our Understanding of Jesus' Example and Applies It to Our Circumstances" "Just Because God is Saying 'Not Yet' Does Not Mean He's Forgotten About You" "Patience Is Waiting Well" "Any Equation That Does Not Add Up Involves Something We Don't See" "Let Go of the Temptation to Explain Why You're Waiting" "God Calls us to Have Faith That He Has For Me When He Has It For Me Is Trustworthy" "Life will bring you people and circumstances to show you where you're not free yet." - Michael Jr. ____ Partner with New Tribe: Give | https://newtribe.church/give/ ____ Connect with New Tribe: Website | https://newtribe.church/comeexperience/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/newtribechurch Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/newtribechurch YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/newtribechurch

Comedian and author Michael Jr. talks with Global Leadership Podcast team member Jason Jaggard about how moving from an attitude of “what can I get from an audience” to “what can I give to an audience” changed everything for him.     IN THIS EPISODE: -       When did Michael Jr. realize he was funny?  -       How did “Funny For the Forgotten” get started?  -       How did he get started in his CAREER in comedy?  -       What kept Michael Jr. going when things were really challenging?  -       How did he come to faith?  -       How did his tour with his wife come about and what do they hope to accomplish?   -       What's next for Michael Jr.?     LISTEN Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube   STANDOUTS AND TAKEAWAYS -       Everything changes when you make the shift from asking, “what can I GET from people” to, “what can I GIVE to people.” -       When you have a gift, your job is solely to present the gift. You cannot control with how the gift is received. -       As a leader, your job is to “listen in between the gaps” so you can really know where people are at. -       Whatever you're doing, you need to get your reps in. -       If you quit something, you are practicing quitting. -       The only reason you do anything in life is to either avoid pain or to gain pleasure. -       Without conflict there's no revelation. -       Comedy is NOT the destination; it's only the vehicle; there's a bigger purpose.   -       If you make a wrong turn, God doesn't abandon you and where you're supposed to go. He just recalculates. It may take you longer to get there, but there are still directions to follow.     LINKS MENTIONED  -       Website: Michael Jr.'s Website -       Website: Funny How Marriage Works -       Book: Funny How Life Works -       Website: Selfie Dad -       Website: Funny for the Forgotten -       Added Value: George Wallace -       Podcast: Funny How Life Works -       Website: Jason Jaggard on LinkedIn -       Website: Novus Global -       Website: Meta Performance Institute   -       Website: Global Leadership Network     THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY:  -        Belay Solutions

We all make mistakes in our lives—big and small—and worry about letting people down, or not living up to who we think we should be. But imagine if someone saw our mistakes, no matter how grave, and instead of chastising us, still believed in us and thought we were amazing? That's what God's grace is like. It's a kind of love that forgives us and gives us a fresh start over and over again, without end.  Author and pastor Max Lucado shares his personal journey from soaring to heights of success to rock bottom moments where he questioned why he was doing what he was doing. Max draws parallels between his experiences and the story of Jacob, and how God's grace overflows to us, even in our worst moments. Veteran comedian Jeff Allen opens up about the struggles in his life caused by addiction, and the rock bottom moment that led him to seek help, and how he ultimately found his way through a relationship with Christ and the unfailing grace that comes with it.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Michael Jr. Upcoming interview: Madison Prewett Troutt Samaritan's Purse: https://sampur.se/44HesSt    Max Lucado Oak Hill Church God Never Gives Up On You   Jeff Allen Alcoholics Anonymous  Proverbs 17:22 NIV www.jeffallencomedy.com Are We There Yet?: My Journey From a Messed Up to Meaningful Life   Interview Quotes: “It was a wrestling with God moment, and just like Jacob was brought to his knees, I was brought to mine. And I realized that apart from God, I can't even make it through the day.” - Max Lucado  “God found Jacob in the Badlands and came to him and spoke to him, and God will do the same for us. I believe that God will meet us in those times.” - Max Lucado  “Be obedient. Acknowledge what you've done. Find help, confess it, go to a circle of friends, begin to get your life in order, because the longer you resist Him, the harder it is to accept Him. Make sure you give problems to God before the problems get to you.” - Max Lucado  “We have a huge advantage. We know the pilot. We know what He has guided the church through or people through. We know He's not intimidated. We know we'll be okay. And so the key is not trying to live a life in which we are escaping turbulence or trying to manage the turbulence on our own. The key is making sure we know the pilot.” - Max Lucado “If God is big, then our problems are small. But if our problems are big, then it usually means our perception of God is small. So make a big deal out of God.” - Max Lucado  “As you learn in the Bible, anything apart from God that you think will make you whole usually destroys you.” - Jeff Allen “I loved the whole process of standup comedy, but it really wasn't until I got on my knees and I said to Jesus, ‘I'm yours,' that it all kind of clicked and made sense to me.” - Jeff Allen  “Unless you're doing it for the glory of God, it becomes a chore. But I consider myself blessed that I had the disease of alcoholism because it got me on a journey that ultimately led to Him.” - Jeff Allen  “God knows the world is broken, and He has charged us with repairing a broken world.” - Jeff Allen   “Pray to Jesus and ask Him to show you what He sees in your heart. ‘What do you see in my heart?'” - Jeff Allen _______________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Taylor having inconveniently gone into labor in the middle of a pounding rainstorm, the ambulance can't get to the beach house in time and Michael Jr. is delivered at home, to his two biological parents and the blonde lady so desperate for her chance at motherhood that she's ignoring every instinct a sensible person could possibly have and agreeing to raise him with the unreliable man with whom she first re-initiated contact last week. Taylor took her last moments as a childless person to INSIST that Michael and Jane agree to take custody of the baby...but she sure does seem crestfallen that Jane and Michael Jr. are getting along so well! Michael calls Jennifer to tell her she's an aunt, but she's still in the middle of getting dumped by a guy who doesn't deserve her, and when Jane finds out Michael was involved, she orders him to fix it. On the other side of the country, Sam shows up at the radio station that probably started immediately regretting having hired Jeff, and begs him for another chance. What's up with the kidnapping? Well, everyone is running around the hills getting very muddy (except Kyle, who is stymied by a washed-out road). Eventually, Peter gets Jack to hear sense, and Phase 2 of the plan -- getting Amanda to think well of him again, through acts of physical bravery -- gets underway. And we'd love to summarize what's going on with Coop, Lexi, and Megan, but we actually have no idea. There's a boat, and murder threats, and some very misplaced blame, and...yeah, your guess is as good as ours. Let's close il libro on "Buona Sera, Mr. Campbell" with our podcast on "Part 2"!
