Or that 60% of Americans live with at least one chronic disease, and 40% live with two or more? Shockingly, this is the first generation of children not expected to outlive their parents, largely due to the prevalence of adult diseases in younger populations. These startling statistics demand attention—but what if there's a solution hidden in plain sight? In today's episode, I sit down with former NBC show host Renita Brannan to explore a potentially life-changing technology: LifeWave patches and phototherapy. Could this groundbreaking light therapy solution not only transform our health but also fulfill a prophecy spoken by Kim Clement in the early 2000s? Renita shares: The story of her mother's miraculous recovery from Parkinson's symptoms using the X39 patch. How phototherapy and “The Fountain of Youth” peptide GHK-Cu work to activate your body's natural stem cells. The history of phototherapy technology, initially developed for Navy SEALs and later adopted by athletes for performance enhancement. Eye-opening results from before-and-after photos showcasing transformative health outcomes for people—and even pets! We also discuss why modern medicine often overlooks natural remedies like phototherapy and how this cutting-edge technology is reshaping the future of regenerative medicine. Whether you're skeptical or seeking solutions for yourself or loved ones, this episode will inspire you to consider how light therapy could change lives.

Dave interviews David McCormick from Legacy Lawyers to talk about e-commerce taxation in B.C., Canada, specifically regarding the Online Marketplace Services Act, the Ministry of Finance's choice to start charging Provincial Sales Tax (PST) to every B.C. based seller on each of Amazon's seller fees, and why this choice is ultimately flawed.  Let's be real - email marketing isn't flashy, but that's what makes it great. Who needs chaos when you can have steady, reliable results? That's where Omnisend email and SMS comes in. Check it out today and use code ECOMCREW.  E-commerce taxation is a huge mess in British Columbia right now.    If you're not from the great white north, then you should know that Amazon has been charging sellers PST since 2021 – something that Amazon wasn't exactly required to do.    The worst part? They've been charging this on sellers' global sales—whether those sales occurred in Canada, the United States, or Brunei Darussalam. Because of this, many BC sellers have been paying a minimum of 1% of their sales (and most will be closer to 2% or greater) in provincial sales tax (PST).    The Big Takeaway: Provincial Sales Tax (PST) is being applied to fees paid by sellers, and not just customer orders. While Amazon has taken a conservative approach to PST collection by overcharging, sellers face challenges in obtaining refunds for overpaid PST. The Ministry of Finance have been very difficult to appeal with even when having a legitimate defense.  This leaves sellers with no choice; and they may need to engage legal help for refund applications. Political action is necessary to address unfair tax practices. Sellers should be proactive in communicating with their Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs).

When the topic of generosity comes up in church, reactions can be mixed. Some tune out, assuming the message is about funding a project or filling a financial gap. But generosity is about much more than meeting needs—it's about the heart behind the act. Let's explore not only why we should give but also why we shouldn't and how to cultivate a heart for biblical generosity.Why We Shouldn't Give1. Guilt Shouldn't Be Your MotivationMany Christians have been influenced by guilt-driven messages, from legalism to the prosperity gospel. These teachings suggest that not giving enough equates to stealing from God or forfeiting His blessings. However, the Bible paints a different picture.In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul reminds us, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Faithful giving stems from joy, not guilt or obligation.It's also crucial to distinguish between guilt and conviction. Guilt comes from the enemy and leads us away from Christ, while conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, drawing us closer to God. Hebrews 10:22 reassures us that, through Christ's sacrifice, we are freed from guilt. If guilt drives your giving, pause and prayerfully examine your heart.2. Giving to Control the ChurchSometimes, people give to influence church decisions, designating funds to specific ministries or withholding support to express disagreement with leadership. This approach can sow division and turn generosity into a transaction.Giving with strings attached undermines the act of worship and reflects a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. As stewards of God's resources, we are called to support His work, even when we don't agree with every decision.3. Seeking Self-Righteousness Through GivingGenerosity should not be a means to feel morally superior. In Luke 18:11-12, Jesus shares the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee flaunted his giving to showcase his righteousness, while the tax collector humbly sought God's mercy.Faithful giving is a response to God's grace, not a way to earn recognition or status. If pride motivates your generosity, it's time to reassess your heart.Principles for Generous GivingTo develop a heart of biblical generosity, consider these principles:1. Make Giving a PriorityProverbs 3:9 teaches, “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.” Giving should come first—not as an afterthought or leftover.2. Embrace Sacrificial GivingIn 2 Samuel 24:24, David declares, “I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” True generosity often requires sacrifice, mirroring Christ's sacrificial love for us.3. Give CheerfullyAs Paul emphasizes in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Joyful giving reflects trust in God's provision and a desire to participate in His work.Reflect Before You GiveBefore giving, ask yourself:Am I giving out of gratitude, joy, and a desire to honor God?Or are guilt, control, or pride influencing my decision?God values the heart behind your generosity far more than the size of your gift. By giving with a spirit of gratitude and humility, you participate in advancing His Kingdom and glorifying Him through your stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've lived with a roommate for the past three years, and he has not had a job since March. I haven't been able to set any money aside or anything like that, with me covering those, and I wanted to know if you had any advice on what I should do if I should move out or otherwise.I have a son who's considering bankruptcy. He has more than just credit card debt, and I'm concerned about what filing bankruptcy will do to his credit and how long it would take him to recover. He's hoping to be able to buy a house soon.My friend told me about an IRA manager, and I am about to sign the contract. They charge 1.5%, and I want to know if that is normal. I'm about to sign a check for $8,000, and I just want more information about that. Also, can you tell me about an annuity? I don't know much about it.When my grandmother died, in her will, she left your house to me and my aunt pending her husband's death. Well, before her husband died, he ended up giving the property to somebody else, and because of that, my aunt and I were just left out. Is that legal? Can you confirm whether it's true that you must report interest gained to the federal government if you open a high-yielding savings account?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationBetterment | Schwab Intelligent PortfoliosLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Episode Summary:In this episode, Josh and Bill unpack the controversial question: Is simplifying volunteer roles hurting your ministry? They explore the balance between clear, step-by-step instructions and stifling creativity. Discover how defining roles with clarity can reduce anxiety, prevent burnout, and empower both high-capacity leaders and task-focused volunteers. Key Topics Covered: The Myth of Dumbing Down Roles: Why clarity isn't the same as oversimplification. Avoiding Volunteer Burnout and Boredom: How boredom can be just as damaging as burnout. Tier 1 vs. Tier 2 Volunteers: Identifying task-driven "soldiers" vs. creative "leaders." The Power of Clear Instructions: Using visuals, SOPs, and laminated cards for better volunteer success. Empowering Without Micromanaging: How clarity reduces anxiety and builds confidence. Key Quote:"It's not about dumbing down the role—it's about dialing it in with clarity and care." Takeaway:Clear instructions don't limit creativity—they create freedom and clarity so volunteers can thrive. Ministry leaders can empower volunteers better by eliminating confusion while still allowing room for giftedness to shine. Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Colossians 3:17 – “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” Call to Action:If this episode encouraged you, share it with your ministry team! ✅Remember: Clear roles create stronger teams.

On this edition of the Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, discusses the essential yet often overlooked simplicity of ministry, emphasizing that while ministry is challenging due to human sinfulness and the complexities of leadership, it does not need to be complicated.

Have you ever worked for a company or organization with a toxic workplace culture – the kind that not only made it unpleasant for the employees but also for customers and clients?  On the flipside, have you ever worked for a place where the culture was so positive that employees stayed for years and customers and clients became friends and partners? Dee Ann Turner, an expert on stewarding talent, says that “culture is the soul of the organization.” What does the soul of your current workplace look like and how can you become a force for positive change within it? If you're a manager, CEO, or leader – think of ways to foster a Christ-like culture in your area of impact. If you're an employee – think of one way to be a positive light to your coworkers and clients today.

We're not just a church. We're a Family. Our Vision is clear, simple, and unique. Our vision is Jesus in you. Our vision is for the people of God to have a faith that holds them. The kind of faith that vanquishes doubt, verifies identity, and voraciously contends for inner peace. A faith that removes the past, clarifies the present, and breathes life into the future. Our vision is the Kingdom of God built within the people of this obscure, yet mighty generation. A kingdom so great that its purpose destroys the common lack of self worth. A kingdom that sharpens the eyes, tenses the muscles, and readies itself for the battle against darkness. A Kingdom that brings purpose and healing to those who have failed more than succeeded, who are sinners more than saints, and who have known more pain than pleasure. Our vision is to challenge the weak and unproductive church of our day. To step beyond those who are religiously immature and search out those who for their love for Christ cannot be offended. Our hope is to raise warriors instead of those who think God only exists to keep bad things from happening. To raise those who know that following Christ means suffering loss yet gaining all things. Our vision is clear, simple, and unique…. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Patrick Maguire Patrick Maguire was the youngest member of the "Maguire Seven," a group wrongfully convicted in the 1970s for involvement in IRA bombings in Guildford and Woolwich. At just 13 years old, he was arrested alongside his family in December 1974. The Maguire Seven were accused of operating a bomb-making factory from their London home, based on dubious forensic evidence. Patrick was sentenced to four years in prison, during which he endured solitary confinement and significant psychological trauma. The convictions of the Maguire Seven were eventually quashed in 1991, acknowledging the miscarriage of justice they had suffered. In the years following his release, Patrick Maguire turned to art as a means of coping with his experiences. His work often reflects the darkness and confinement he endured during his imprisonment. In 2017, he held an exhibition titled "Out from the Darkness," marking a transition from his earlier, darker pieces to works embracing more colour and light.

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture consistently draws a line between good—embodied by God's character and commands—and evil—rooted in rebellion against His will. Believers discern and practice good by submitting to God's Word, relying on the Holy Spirit, and abiding in Christ, thus bearing fruit that aligns with God's righteous standard.List of Urgent Needs:- F350 Truck and accessories: $50,000- Fuel for mission distribution: $80 per daily mission- Aid supplies family support kits: $150- Ministry emergency fund goal: $30,000To give, use this link http://member.bulldozerfaith.com/givePayPal.me/bulldozerfaith https://cash.app/$bulldozerfaith Daily Devotional and teaching with Kenny Russell - Get connected with our Podcast Channelshttps://feeds.captivate.fm/what-then-shall-we-sayEmail kenny@bulldozerfaith.com

Anticipation! If after reading that word, an old ketchup jingle started playing in your head, you're probably not one of the younger listeners to Project Zion Podcast.  If a jingle didn't start playing in your head, you'll just have to Google it. This episode of Coffee to Go is about anticipation, but there is no ketchup involved. Listen in as hosts, Karin Peter and Blake Smith, take a close look at the passage from Luke 3 about the Baptism of Jesus. Allow yourself, like the heavens, to be opened to something new. Start each day with a sense of anticipation of that which God might want to make you aware... something that will help you mirror God's light in the world.Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Project Zion Podcast!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Today's podcast challenges us, individually and as a church, to reject a bystander mindset. Ephesians 4:12 reminds us that we are equipped to do the work of ministry. Every member is called to serve, and together, we live out our faith in action. Scriptures:  Ephesians 4:12, 2 Corinthians 2:14-15, Acts 2:42-47, Jeremiah 29:7, James 1:27

Nagy and Hope grew up in the Middle East in families that followed Christ and encouraged them to serve God and be people of His Word. They were serving the Lord doing good work in their home country when they felt God's call to go to another county in the region: Libya. The transition was difficult and discouraging. They were forced to navigate a different community and expectations, and to learn a different Arabic dialect. With no fruit to be seen, Nagy and Hope were at times discouraged and disappointed. Yet God was working. After months of gospel work, one lady came to Hope asking questions about the gospel. Nagy and Hope were excited! They felt it was worth it to be in Libya if only one person came to Christ! Then their new friend was detained and interrogated. She cut off all contact with Hope. “It was hard,” Hope says, “but at the same time there was hope. Maybe the Lord would give us more opportunities.” The Lord did bring about more opportunities, but they didn't come without disappoints and hardship. Nagy and Hope will share more opportunities they had to disciple new believers and the obstacles they faced. When war broke out across Libya, the Lord still called them to stay, promising protection for their family and even their neighbors. God opened the hearts of many as they saw the Lord provide in their time of need. Listen as Nagy and Hope share when the Lord clearly told them their time in Libya was over and they had to leave. Please pray for Libya and for the continued ministry of gospel workers in that country.
