Welcome to Day 2914 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2914– “Joyful Return, Insightful Response”  based on Luke 10:17-24 Putnam Church Message – 07/19/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Joyful Return, Insightful Response.”   Last time our message was “Practical Talk to Those in Ministry,” where we learned to leave the harvest in the hands of the Lord who is the Lord of the harvest. Today, we continue with our thirtieth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “Joyful Return, Insightful Response.” Our core passage today is Luke 10:17-24, on page 1612 of your pew Bibles. The Seventy-Two Return 17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. 22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” 23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today with joy and humility. Thank You for calling ordinary people into Your Kingdom work. Thank You that the name of Jesus is greater than every power of darkness, every accusation of the enemy, and every fear that troubles our hearts. Lord Jesus, help us rejoice in the right things. Teach us to celebrate Your victories without becoming proud of our usefulness. Remind us that our greatest joy is not what we accomplish for You, but that we belong to You. Open our eyes to see what prophets and kings longed to see. Give us childlike hearts that receive Your truth with faith and obedience. Holy Spirit, guide us now as we listen to Your Word. Amen. Introduction: A Story - Returning From the Battle In the early nineties, a few years after Desert Storm, General Norman Schwarzkopf wrote an autobiography titled It Doesn't Take a Hero. Near the middle of the book, he describes his thoughts as he headed for his first combat command position in Vietnam. He was a West Point graduate, full of energy and idealism. He went to Vietnam, as he said, for “God, country, and Mom's apple pie.” But later, after a second tour of duty, he returned from a battle-scarred landscape where young men under his command had died or had lost parts of their bodies to landmines. He came home to a divided nation, and he wrote with exhausted realism, “I realized then I was really tired of being a commander… I thought, Thank God it's over. I'd saved as many lives as I could… I wanted to get home to my family.” Same geography. Same war. Same mission. But what a difference between the man who went out and the man who returned. In Luke 10, the seventy-two whom Jesus sent out also return from the battlefield. But the seventy-two return with joy. In our last message, “Practical Talk to Those in Ministry,” we watched Jesus send them out two by two. He told them the harvest was great and the workers were few. He sent them like lambs among wolves. He told them to travel light, offer peace, heal the sick, and announce that the Kingdom of God had come near. They went out as messengers of the King. / Now they return. And they come back like children running through the door after seeing something amazing. “Lord,” they say, “even the demons obey us when we use Your name!” They had gone out to announce peace, but they discovered that the name of Jesus also carried authority over the powers of darkness. Jesus rejoices with them. But He also corrects their perspective. He lifts their eyes above the thrill of ministry success and says, in effect, “Yes, rejoice that evil is retreating. But do not build your joy on power. Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” That is our theme today: The greatest joy of a disciple is not what we do for Jesus, but that we belong to Jesus. Which brings us to our four truths today which are found in your bulletin insert on the side that is titled: Joyful Return, Insightful Response Main Point 1: Kingdom Ministry Pushes Back the Powers of Darkness The seventy-two return with joy and say, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use Your name.” That little word “even” carries their surprise. Jesus had told them to heal the sick and announce the Kingdom. But apparently, as they ministered in His name, demons also submitted. They saw firsthand that the mission of Jesus was not merely moral improvement, social kindness, or religious instruction. It was war against the dominion of evil. Luke has been showing us this from the beginning. Jesus confronted demons in the synagogue. He delivered the man in the region of the Gerasenes. He gave the Twelve authority over demons. He healed the boy whom His disciples could not help. And now the seventy-two discover that the authority of Jesus extends through them as well. This is where we need to understand the Bible's bigger supernatural worldview. The late Dr. Michael S. Heiser often reminded readers that the Bible presents a spiritual world populated by heavenly beings. In the Old Testament, we see scenes of God's heavenly council, sometimes called the Divine Council. God is the Most High, the Creator, the supreme King. But Scripture also shows lesser spiritual beings who serve, rebel, accuse, deceive, or oppose God's purposes. In Job 1 and 2, we meet “The Satan,” or “the adversary,” appearing among the heavenly beings. In that setting, the word functions like a title — the accuser, the challenger, the prosecutor. By the time we reach the New Testament, Satan is clearly presented as the great enemy of God's people, the tempter, the accuser, the ruler of a rebellious kingdom of darkness. So, when Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning,” He is not giving the disciples a small compliment. He is interpreting their ministry as part of a cosmic victory. Every sick person healed, every demon rebuked, every message of Kingdom peace proclaimed — all of it was evidence that the usurper's rule was cracking. The adversary was falling. Object Lesson: The Flashlight in a Dark Room Imagine turning off the lights in a room and then switching on a flashlight. The darkness does not negotiate. / It does not hold a committee meeting. / It simply retreats where the light shines. That is what happens when the Kingdom of God advances. When Jesus walks into a synagogue, demons cry out. When Jesus steps into Gentile territory, a legion of demons loses its captive. When Jesus sends out His followers, evil spirits submit to His name. Not because the disciples are impressive, but because the King is present through them. Ancient Israelite Context For a first-century Jewish listener, this would not sound like a mere private spiritual experience. It would sound like the long-awaited victory of God. Genesis 3:15 promised that the seed of the woman would crush the serpent's head. Psalm 91 spoke of trampling lions and serpents underfoot. Daniel 7 envisioned the Son of Man receiving authority, glory, and sovereign power. The prophets looked forward to the day when God would defeat evil and restore creation. Now Jesus says, “You are seeing the beginning of that victory.” The Kingdom has come near. Modern Illustration We may not always see dramatic confrontations with evil spirits, but we still see the Kingdom push back darkness. When an addict finds freedom in Christ, darkness...

Kouri Richins filed a motion for a new trial. Seven weeks after a judge sentenced her to life without parole for the aggravated murder of her husband Eric Richins. Seven weeks after her own sons begged the court to keep them safe. Her attorneys claim the judge showed bias, that financial crimes evidence unfairly prejudiced the jury, and that she deserves the same kind of do-over that Alex Murdaugh received in South Carolina.Tony Brueski tears apart every claim. The Murdaugh comparison is the centerpiece of the defense strategy and the weakest part of it — the South Carolina ruling turned on proven jury tampering that has no equivalent in the Richins case. The episode walks through both pillars of the Murdaugh reversal and shows why only one of them applies, and even that one doesn't apply the way her lawyers need it to.The judge has stepped aside. A new judge will rule on the motion. The episode covers what that means procedurally and why it's standard practice, not an admission of anything.Inside the episode: the three specific claims in the motion, the financial evidence that the defense calls prejudicial and the prosecution calls motive, the text Kouri sent an admirer after the guilty verdict promising to "expose them all," and the courtroom footage of Kouri making faces while counselors read her children's statements. Her sons no longer call her Mom. One wrote that what she did was "very sick." Another said he wouldn't feel safe if she were free. Eric's father told the court his son was a light taken too soon.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode we answer emails from The Nameless One, Jebenizer, and C.M. We discuss practice drawdown portfolios, an unusual deferred pension cash build-up situation and how to handle it, assets that benefit from inflation, and simple rules for contributions and rebalancing that reduce taxes and stress.  And we share an update about Frank's Mom.Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page (please mention Risk Parity Radio in the comment section with your donation):  Donate - Father McKenna CenterRose Vasquez Memorial:  Rose Vasquez Memorial Service July 15, 2026Bigger Pockets Money Podcast #1:  The Secret to a 5% Safe Withdrawal Rate | Frank VasquezBigger Pockets Money Test Risk Parity Style Portfolio:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio)Afford Anything Podcast #618:  They Ran Out of Money.

We start with a quick personal update, then jump into listener emails that turn risk parity investing into hands-on decision-making you can actually copy and test. Along the way, we talk about the “Top of the T-shirt” charity campaign and why we keep the show sponsor-free, then pivot into the kind of practical portfolio questions that show up right before retirement.One listener builds a $10,000 drawdown portfolio as a practice run while still in the accumulation phase. The rules are clear: rebalance annually, withdraw 5% of the original amount every year, increase that withdrawal by CPI, and do not save it. We dig into why this simple experiment is so effective for building confidence with withdrawals, rebalancing discipline, and the real emotions that come with spending from an investment account. We also connect it to the Golden Ratio portfolio concept and how diversified asset allocation can support higher safe withdrawal rates.Another listener has a rare situation: a deferred pension option that forces pension payments into a tax-deferred account earning a flat 4%, creating a growing cash-like allocation with limited liquidity. We explain how to treat that cash as part of the total portfolio right now, how it can change your stock and bond mix, and what to do when the funds become available. We also tackle inflation hedging for retirement planning, including why Treasury bonds suffer in inflation, how value stocks like property and casualty insurers can help, and why managed futures can be a powerful inflation hedge.If you like clear rules, real portfolios, and honest trade-offs, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more do-it-yourself investors can find us.Start with this DescriptionSupport the show

This is the most personal episode we've ever recorded.  After days of labor, countless prayers, unexpected setbacks, and one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make, we finally met our son. What we thought would be one of the most carefully planned moments of our lives became a journey of surrender, reminding us that God is often doing His greatest work in the moments we never saw coming. For the first time, we're sharing the complete story behind Reign's arrival. From the emotional highs and unexpected twists to the miracle of finally hearing his first cry. We also open up about why we've chosen to keep his face off social media, how becoming parents has reshaped our perspective on faith, purpose, and legacy, and what we're believing God for as we step into this brand-new season together.  This is more than a birth story. It's a conversation about trusting God when nothing goes according to plan, finding peace in the unexpected, and discovering that His greatest miracles are often waiting on the other side of surrender. Whether you're preparing for parenthood, walking through a season of uncertainty, or simply believing God for what's next, this episode is a reminder that His plans are always greater than our own. What You'll Learn: The hardest decision we face during labor, and how we found peace in it What becoming Mom and Dad revealed about trusting God's timing Why surrender is often the beginning of God's greatest work Why we've chosen to keep Reign's face off social media How becoming parents is reshaping our faith, marriage, and calling Timestamps: (02:15) - Our Pregnancy Story (04:39) - When Labor Didn't Go According to Plan (11:29) - The Unexpected Setbacks That Tested Our Faith (13:47) - The Spiritual Preparation Before Giving Birth (24:59) - The Hardest Decision We Made Before Meeting Reign (32:35) - The Moment We Heard His First Cry (34:05) - What Nobody Tells You About the First Hours of Parenthood (40:09) - The God-Given Meaning Behind Reign's Name (43:02) - Designing a Life That Holds Both Motherhood and Purpose (44:43) - Why We're Choosing to Keep Reign's Face Off Social Media (47:24) - The Hidden Danger Parents Need to Think About in the Age of AI (50:00) - Why Prayer Should Be Your First Response, Not Your Last Resort (57:20) - Building a Brand That Creates Freedom, Impact & Legacy Connect with Jake: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/jakehavron     YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxG3bKqLK_M_HZpOgiVrtng  More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website |  https://meetemilyford.com   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily         Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod    YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD  Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/  FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/discover

Tiff and Kristy address why the doctor (or the practice lead or the OM) always end up getting sucked back in to answer questions they shouldn't have to. The pair also gives solutions on how to curb this automatic approach, including establishing clarity, providing the right resources, and being patient when things go wrong. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review   Transcript: Tiffanie (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. I am back here with you on the podcast. I love being here. I love what we get to do, and I love more than any of that podcasting with Kristy. And I hope that you guys have taken the time to get to know Kristy, that you've seen her on other podcasts, but also that you maybe have chosen to work with her. She's got some incredible clients. Kristy is full right now in the in the the   recording of this podcast, but she is really awesome at sneaking in some room there too. We do take advantage of that sometimes. So Kristy, thank you for being here. If they don't know you, I hope they go and figure out who you are. They go scope you if you get some more Instagram follow requests or wherever you're at, just know that's my fault. So good morning Kristy. How are you today?   DAT- Kristy (00:49) Good morning. It's a good morning. I love starting my day, actually starting my week and getting our time together because so many times we don't we don't get to work with each other. So yeah.   Tiffanie (00:54) Yeah.   I know. I agree.   I agree. We have like one half hour a month that we pre schedule to make sure that we can connect. but I love that I do get my podcasting time with you guys too. There's more consultants now, so it's spread out a little bit thinner. but when I when I can, I love getting my time with you ladies. So thank you. Thank you for making this easy on me. I'm actually really excited for this   Topic today. And just so you guys, you listeners, know the topics, they come from the marketing does a lot of research. Our marketing company, our marketing team within our company, does a lot of research on what some hot topics might be, what dentistry is going through right now, kind of just different areas and different facets of life. And so they do come up with some incredible, incredible topics that we love to spin off of.   And with that, if there's ever anything that you guys are experiencing in your world, I want you to know Hello@TheDentalATeam.com is the easiest place to reach out to us or on our website, TheDentalATeam.com. There's a little like chat with us. You can reach out to us and let us know what you're experiencing. We are more than happy to help dive into your cases and kind of figure out what it is. But also that leads to some great podcast topics as well. So if there are things that you want to hear more of.   or less of, by all means, please reach out to us, let us know what your thoughts are, because we'd be happy to add some things into the mix as well. So, Kristy, with that said, I'm really excited for today's topic. I think that this is something that no matter what time of year it is, is relevant. And I know that we work with a lot of leaders, a lot of CEO dentists, a lot of owners, a lot of leadership teams, office managers, regional managers.   DSOs, like we work with a slew of ranges within the dental industry. And something that I think consistently comes back for all of us. And I think Kristy, you and I actually experience this with the level and the size of practices that we get. We experience it quite a bit. And we've experienced it in our own company. Kiera, I love you. We've experienced this a lot in our own company of   DAT- Kristy (03:12) Ha ha ha.   Tiffanie (03:16) not knowing where to go for a decision, so you go to the person that you know can make the decision, I guess is the best way to say it. And we've got a lot of doctors that sit in a dental chair, right? They're in their chair and they've got a drill in a hand and a mirror in a hand and their loops on their head and they're drilling. And they've got somebody in the background asking them where they order their paper from, right? Or something, right? Like the the plumber. Well what plumber should I call? Because the   Toilets plugs. Like I there's a ridiculous amount of questions that are going on behind the doctor. and it and Kristy, the conversation today is is that the right person? Right? And why? Because I think we both get this question from our doctors, why are they asking them? Right? I my doctors are constantly like, Why me? Why me? Like, well, you're really special, right? Like they   I trust you so much. You're just so special. And a lot of it's self-created. We can dive into that. But when we're when we're really truly looking at the end all be all, and you've got your dentist and you've got your CEO, you've got your your different positions within the practice, what are the most common reasons or let's go off of one, Kristy, that you see most frequently? Why is the dentist the one that they go to?   DAT- Kristy (04:13) Yeah.   Yeah. I love this topic as well, Tiff. And I think just for clarity, this can even work for your your practice leads or OM, you know, a lot of times, I I I told you earlier in one of our podcasts that we create our own problems. And I believe that a lot of times this is our own creation too. Again, not not by choice, you know what I mean? But we have to paint clarity.   Tiffanie (04:47) Absolutely.   DAT- Kristy (05:08) We have to paint clarity for our team on what things they are free to handle and what things you want coming to you. You know, number one, paint that clarity. And then number two, give them the resources to do it. I'm gonna try to remember the saying, but it it goes something about, you know, our job as leaders is to know how few decisions we have to make truly in a day. And maybe that's scary, right? That's a scary thought, but   Tiffanie (05:16) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (05:37) Truly, as the leader, I think you have to paint that vision for your teams and then just continue to reinforce that. Because a lot of times your team's gonna have better answers than you do, even. So clarity, yeah, one hundred percent. Clarity number one. Clarity number one for sure.   Tiffanie (05:51) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And resources.   Yeah.   And I think within that making sure that you have clarity on what w the directions that you're going for one thing, right? Like what how do I make this decision? Because I'm I'm making this decision based on on the end goal for the practice, but also clarity within every job that's within the practice. Like who who would make this decision if not the dentist? So when or if not for for us it would be if not Kiera, right? And I think that's   One, it's very easy to see. It's easy for us to see. So it's easy for us to speak to that within our own company. And then we get the luxury of seeing it within dental practices to speak to that. But just truly know, like you said, it it works for every leader in the practice office managers or whatever. But you guys, this is transferable to any business structure because, you know, unbeknownst to you, you own a business. And so your business structure is not dentistry.   Your business structure is business. And when we can realize that and take the dentistry out of the business and let the business be a business, I think that's where you guys really truly will thrive. You get so lost in trying to make dentistry the business, but dentistry is what you're doing. You're providing dentistry. The business has to stand outside of the dentistry. They can't   Dentistry can't be the business anymore. Maybe a long time ago it could. And you know, maybe you're in your grandfather's practice and your di your father was there and you've inherited some routines and some systems, but the world is different in 2026 and whatever future year you're listening to this in, the world is different, and you have to be able to separate those things. And Kristy, that's I think where that clarity comes in is the business.   Where is the business going? Because the dentistry is gonna be dentistry and the dentistry is gonna follow the trends of dental. we're gonna, you know, we're gonna get all the tech, we're gonna get all of those things, but where is the business going so that the dentistry can still happen is huge. And having the clarity around that and the clarity around who would make this decision if not the owner is huge. And to your point, that's where the leads come in, the office manager and like if you're   If you need a plumber, right? Dentists, owners, if you're the one who has to make that decision, go back to Kristy's first comment. Like, what dis what decisions do I need to make? Is it the most important decision of your day to figure out which plumber, which AC repair guy, which I don't know, carpet cleaner? Like, is that a decision that you want to make and need to make? And Kristy, I think that's where that space of like, no, actually, this would be my manager.   or this would be our clinical director, that that has to be stated and clear so that an office manager or a dental assistant knows who do I go to.   DAT- Kristy (09:01) One hundred percent and document those things. I mean, maybe you do have a doctor that's like, My brother's the plumber, so we always call my brother. Then have a list of those items with the numbers and who to contact, you know. But yeah, and to your point too, Tiff, I think so many times we don't create the space for our doctors or leaders to have these conversations. Like running down the hall in between patients is never.   the time to do it. I mean doctors say yes to so many things they would not have said yes to just because it's like you know right there and I have to handle it but truly block time to have discussions that are truly the things that need to come to doctor to make the decision. But also as leaders watch how you preface the question. You know I need to call a plumber. This is what I was thinking. You know   Tiffanie (09:35) Mm-hmm.   Yeah. Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (09:58) And and then to that point too, Tiff, painting the clarity. If you have a a go-to that you want, make sure that that's vocalized. But then also going back to leaders, how many times do we just answer the question versus asking our team members, what do you think? And I know I hear this day in and day out. It's faster just to do it myself, right? It's faster to do it myself.   But I think it was you, Tiff, that told me choose your hard. And it's Britt. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Choose your hard. And the time you take in the very beginning to train your team, this is how we do it, will go so much further in the long run. So give your team the opportunity to answer the question because then you're you're making them think for themselves and not rely on you.   Tiffanie (10:31) It's Britt. Britt told everyone, but I love that. I use it all the time.   DAT- Kristy (10:57) Again, going back to us creating our own problems, when we answer for our for them, you're not you're not letting them rise to the occasion and grow to the level that you're looking for.   Tiffanie (11:08) Yeah.   I completely agree. And I think this is something that's so relatable for parents. because in my opinion, I say this a lot, and I think we are people are people and we learn the way we learn, we we hear the way we le we hear and we can grow. We do grow and we physically grow, but at the bottom of it all, we're still people. And when we again like when we treat things so differently, we think, they're adults, they should   They should know why. I have so many dentists, by the way, who have said that to me, or so many office managers that's like, why do I need to spell this out? They're an adult. Why don't they just know? And I'm like, because they're trying to figure out what you want. They're not trying to figure out how to solve this. Because if it were outside of your dental practice and they were at home, or if they were on the side of this side of the street in a broke down car, they would figure it out. They're not, they're not incapable. They don't know what you want.   And so trying to figure out what someone else wants, trying to intuit the right answer when you have not enough direction to know, but you're trying to please, you're trying to do it correct, you're trying to not ruin a business with a plumber decision, you're gonna just ask the person. And when you just answer, just like a parent, if I just answer every single time, am I giving Brody the space to grow and to learn things on his own when he was little? He   used to get frustrated with me, then he kinda he kinda just learned that I was always gonna say it. He would say, Mom mom, how, you know, how did they do this? How did they build that? How did they and he's in the backseat of the car just seeing everything. Mom mom, how did they, how did they, how did they? And I would say, buddy, what do you think? And he'd just come up with these incredible ways that they built the building, that they put the traffic lights in, that they, you know, and I'm like, gosh, that's really smart. Do you also think that   And within that thought process of how do we grow our children to become positive parts of humanity, right? And independent to go live on their own and add value to the world. We're doing the same thing for our team members. So if we want our team members to be a valuable piece of humanity and add positive impact to our business, we have to grow them.   DAT- Kristy (13:14) Indeed. Yeah. And yeah.   Tiffanie (13:34) and allow them the space to grow in the same capacity that we do our own children. Otherwise they're gonna stay with us forever. Right? If I always clean up after the kids, they're gonna have messy houses later, right? And I'm gonna go over to their home and I'm gonna be like, what the heck? What did I did I teach you nothing? No, I taught you that I'll clean it.   DAT- Kristy (13:38) Yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah. Tiff, I love that you talk about that. I know you just have Brody, but you also have some significant others in your life. But I remember even with my son and daughter, I thought my secondborn wasn't gonna talk. And it wasn't that he wasn't gonna talk, it's because my daughter was talking for him. And so many parents can relate to that. And so your analogy is like spot on. But also I you know, I want leaders to hear this loud and clear.   Tiffanie (13:58) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (14:21) They're gonna get it wrong. They're gonna get it wrong and they're gonna do it different than you. But please give them the space to do it because so many times it goes back to your Brody's mind. They can be more brilliant than we are. I'll never forget the story. I had a colleague t talk to me about buying a copier. The dentist was gonna go get this y you you probably remember back in the days the big Pitney bows, like I mean, it was on, it was a cart on wheels thing, you know.   Tiffanie (14:22) Mm-hmm.   They're huge. Yeah. Wheels, yup.   DAT- Kristy (14:50) Yeah, and they were spendy like a lot of money and he was gonna go buy this. And then actually what happened is he did buy it and the team wasn't using it and he was very, very upset. So then it taught him a valuable lesson that the next time that copier went out, he went to them and asked them the features that they wanted, or better yet, just give them a budget to work within and let them go buy it themselves, right? Because   So many times, doctors, we try to make those decisions or as leaders, we try to make those decisions. we're gonna cut back our hours. you're gonna work this time to this time. You know what? Just put it out to your team. This is what we're doing. We need to fill these hours. What what can you guys come up with? And nine times out of ten, they're gonna come up s with something better than we can as leaders.   Tiffanie (15:42) Yeah, and Kristy, to your point, I think the copy machine is is brilliant. That's a brilliant thought process because on the flip side of that, our dentists right now, our owners are going, Yeah, but he was trying to do he was he got the best of the best to do the best thing for the team. He's trying to he's trying to do something. And so many of our our leaders come back to us and they're like, gosh, I'm just not appreciated. They don't care that I put so much time and energy into picking out   the best copying machine that had the best features and was going to save them time and it was going to do all these things for them and they didn't even use it. They don't care. And it's not that they don't care, right? It's not that our kids don't care that we slave over dinner every night and then do the dishes and then make sure that their laundry is done. Like they don't, it's not that they don't care. It's that they don't there's not value and appreciation on it because they don't know what they don't know the value of it. And when they go and they're able to go   Do the research and find the coffee machine that they want, they're like, this is really cool. I'm gonna use it. Thank you so much, Doc, for allowing us to get this. Right. And I think it goes back to like a goes back to compliments, right? It feels so much better to give a compliment than to receive a compliment. And when you receive something, somebody's like, here, use this coffee machine. You're like, cool, thanks. Like, I don't know how to respond to that, right? Like, okay, thank you.   DAT- Kristy (16:47) Yep.   Tiffanie (17:07) But when you're like, my gosh, we found the best copy machine. This is gonna save us so much time. This is gonna be incredible. They're actually gonna use it.   DAT- Kristy (17:15) Yeah, I love that you make that statement because Tiff, we believe in meeting with our teams one-on-one. And I love the feedback loop, like reinforce the things that are good. So when your team does get it right, recognize it. What gets rewarded gets repeated, I like to say. And the things that maybe need guidance or development when they do miss the mark, approach it with curiosity instead of like, what the heck were you thinking? Why did you do that?   Hey, out of curiosity, Tiff, will you share with me how did you come up with that decision? You know, and then use it as an opportunity to guide the outcome. So again, if it was my blood, my brother is the plumber and that's who I wanted you to call, can you share with me how you made the decision to call ABC plumbing? You know, where did you come up with that? And then re guide them to the outcome you're looking for. So that feedback is is critical. Yeah.   Tiffanie (18:11) I agree.   DAT- Kristy (18:12) And I don't   know a team member that walks in the door and says, I wanna make my doctor's life hell today, you know? So   Tiffanie (18:17) Yes, I agree. I agree.   And the way you said the curiosity of like tell me, tell me how we got here. And there's been so many times, Kristy, even just like with Brody, but with team members too, where I've said, tell me more about that. Like help me understand. Because my brain is my brain is focused on what I thought the outcome was going to be and what it should have been. And if I stay stuck there, you're wrong no matter what. But when I go in with curiosity and I say   DAT- Kristy (18:43) Yeah.   Tiffanie (18:46) Tell me more. Like, I want to know that side. Oftentimes, I would say at least 80% of the time, I'm like, cool. Actually, yeah, let's try it. Like, great, that's not what I thought I would have done, but I love that option. Let's explore it. But when we go in so hard with the like, you're wrong, you didn't make the decision I wanted you to, again, back to the beginning, it is nearly impossible to make a spot on decision based on what.   DAT- Kristy (18:54) Okay, yeah. Yeah.   Tiffanie (19:16) some like intuitively knowing what someone wants you to actually do. It's so hard.   DAT- Kristy (19:20) Yeah, too.   I was gonna say to your point with that, going back to that too, is we could actually shut down our team with those remarks because it's like, what were you thinking? Now I'm like fearful to even try to make a decision, you know, so thing.   Tiffanie (19:29) Hands down.   Okay.   And I'm gonna come to you with everything. Ever the pencil   that I order is gonna come to you because I never want to feel like that again. Immediately my brain is gonna say, Well, never gonna feel like that again. So we're gonna do the polar opposite of what I just did. We're gonna overcompensate and now you're going to be making every minor decision possible in this company.   DAT- Kristy (19:56) Yeah, one hundred percent. It seems so easy and I mean I wish it was that easy, but truly slow down and and ask a question and approach from curiosity, it's gonna get you a lot further for sure.   Tiffanie (20:10) Totally agree. Yeah. So actionable pieces. I hope you guys loved this as much as we loved doing it. Kristy, I know I am like I could I could do this one for hours. So I love the psychological pieces of it and communication is I think both of our jam. So I know we can go on forever. Actionable items, I would say job descriptions, clear job descriptions and roles. I think decision trees and and also organizational charts. So who   DAT- Kristy (20:20) Yeah.   Tiffanie (20:40) is responsible for what that goes into your job description as well, but who can I go to? Like who's my next in line that would be able to get me this answer? And then learning how to have that positive feedback and being in the question. Like how how can you ask more questions to understand rather than being in the decision already and judging? Kristy, anything you can think of that I missed there within those actionable pieces?   DAT- Kristy (21:06) No, Tiff, truly not. I just think it's a muscle that we have to work. And I will also say, like, my greatest performing teams have developed this type of hierarchy, if you will say, because it helped and it tethers the team to them. It really does. So if you don't want team turnover, you're allowing your people to grow in a way that that   Tiffanie (21:24) Yeah, I agree.   DAT- Kristy (21:31) They need to grow and they want to grow. And when you master this skill of 'cause it really is a skill set, when you master it, it's a win win all the way around.   Tiffanie (21:43) Totally agree. I completely agree. Thank you, Kristy. And I know you work on this with all of the leaders that you work with because whether you're really great at it or not, there's always room for growth, there's room for better understanding, and there's room for revisiting. We are huge, huge proponents of relearning and going back to the things that work to get you where you are, and then also integrating and implementing and changing new policies and procedures.

When your business depends on appointments, renewals, and repeat clients, dropped follow-ups and scattered notes are expensive problems. Handwritten reminders, sticky notes, and overcomplicated CRMs often create more friction than they solve. Today's guest, Jan Levine, CEO of ClientPulse Ltd, explains how he used Voice First AI to rescue his own rapidly growing financial practice from that chaos and then transformed his solution into a powerful platform that helps other service-based businesses stay organized, responsive, and consistently top-of-mind with their clients. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Jan walks us through how voice-driven client management can replace tedious data entry and outdated workflows. Instead of typing notes or wrestling with bloated software, agents, advisors, salon owners, repair shops, and other professionals can simply talk into their phone as they leave a client meeting. Client Pulse automatically extracts the key details, contact info, assets, preferences, next steps, and appointment times, updates the record, sends a thank-you email, and schedules reminders, all in seconds. Jan dig into one of the biggest fears around automation and AI: that it will feel cold, fake, and impersonal. Jan explains how he intentionally designed Client Pulse to do the opposite, using AI to create more human, personal communication at scale. From birthday and anniversary reminders that prompt you to record a quick, personalized video, to one-click follow-up calls and policy renewal reminders, the system keeps you consistently present in your clients' lives without feeling like yet another generic, system-generated message. You'll also hear how Jan has extended this technology beyond business into family life. He demonstrates a simple visual “family wall” interface built for grandparents, where each grandchild is represented by a photo. With a single click, Grandma or Grandpa can start a video call, send a message, or trigger reminders like “take your medication” or “call Mom,” all powered by the same AI-assisted reminder engine. It's a compelling example of how voice, automation, and smart prompts can make life easier, not more complicated. https://youtu.be/NGymQYnyBdA?si=xL7V0EmTiivDaxE9 If you've ever felt guilty about weak follow-up, missed appointments, or losing client details in notes and memory, this episode will open your eyes to what's now possible. You'll learn how voice-first AI, personalized automation, and smart reminders can help you show up more consistently, deepen relationships, and grow your business, without adding more tech headaches to your day. Stay tuned to discover how Client Pulse can turn everyday conversations into organized, meaningful, high-touch client experiences. Quotes: "The whole idea is to use the concept of AI and the power of a contact management system, melding them so that the contact is very personalized and very much one-on-one." "That's what this is all about, using AI to find a better way for people to care for and about each other." "All of these features are designed not to replace but to augment communication, not to have any negative effect on anything artificial, just the opposite, personalizing everything."

Dr. Melissa Grill-Petersen, DC, MS, BCHH, is the founder and CEO of Human Longevity Global and co-founder of Peptide University, and in this episode she breaks down peptides in plain terms: naturally occurring signaling molecules that instruct the body's existing pathways rather than replace them. She and Freddie dig into why peptide quality of effect depends on foundational health — cell membrane integrity, nutrient status, hormone balance — and why she sees peptides as one input among many, not a shortcut around the basics. The conversation also covers the "exposome," the case for designing environments (cities, workplaces, healthcare systems) around healthspan rather than sick-care, and the emerging economic argument for longevity research reframed around health-adjusted life years. Beyond the science, Dr. Melissa shares the personal story that shaped her mission — watching her mother's cancer go into remission through an intensive lifestyle shift, then return after returning to old patterns — and how that experience shaped her belief that inputs, not just genetics, drive health outcomes. The episode closes with a quick-fire round on her favorite peptide for cell membrane support and where peptide delivery research is headed next. A candid, systems-level look at longevity, personal responsibility, and human flourishing from one of the field's most recognized educators.

Full Transcript Below: Enjoy a Picnic with GodBy: Whitney Hopler Bible Reading:“He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate – bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.” – Psalm 104:14-15, NIV Some of my favorite childhood memories are of simple picnics with my mom in our backyard or at local parks. Mom could turn an ordinary afternoon into an extraordinary experience just by packing sandwiches, grapes, chips, and lemonade for us to eat and drink outside. I remember how I always got a fresh perspective while picnicking in the fresh air. My world seemed to open up in nature, and my senses seemed stronger, too. I noticed the way the sunlight filtered through the trees and how every different type of bird sang a different kind of song. The sandwiches somehow tasted better outside than indoors, as well. Most importantly, on those picnics, I felt connected to something bigger than myself. Later, I learned that something was a Someone – God – who always joined us on our picnics. In our fast-paced world, we often rush through eating and don’t spend enough time outside in nature. But God actually designed them to help us connect to him. Psalm 104:14-15 points out that God provides a creative variety of plants that people and animals alike enjoy. God could have made all food and drinks taste the same and provided them to us just to survive. But instead, God created a wonderful variety for us to truly enjoy. This passage says that God created “wine that gladdens,” “oil to make faces shine,” and “bread that sustains.” In other words, God cares about us actually enjoying our experiences. God wants us to do more than just eat a granola bar in a hurry while driving to work, rush through lunch at our desks, and pick up dinner in a fast-food drive-thru line. God wants us to eat mindfully, so we can really enjoy the experience of eating and reflect on God’s generosity and love for us. God also designed us to enjoy spending time in nature. We can learn a lot about God in nature, because creation reflects the Creator’s qualities. A picnic can help us connect with God by doing both of those activities that God intends for us. Experience that for yourself! Schedule a picnic into your schedule sometime soon. Sit on a blanket on the “grass for the cattle” mentioned in Psalm 104, or at a picnic table on top of the grass. Say a prayer of thanks to God for the food, the “bread that sustains,” and all the other food you brought with you, which God ultimately made possible for you to enjoy. Eat slowly, savoring every bite of your food so you can taste God’s goodness to you. During a picnic, you can let the fresh air inspire you to find a fresh perspective on your life. Let yourself pay full attention to all the wonder around you, and let that remind you of how God cares for you in every detail of your life. Look up at the vast sky and down at tiny wildflowers to see how God designed every part of creation – everything, of all sizes – with loving care. Enjoy a picnic with God whenever you can. Don’t wait for a special occasion. Pack a sandwich, find some grass nearby, and let the simple pleasures of God’s creation lead you back to him. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider enjoying a picnic can help you move closer to God, reflect on these questions: What’s one of your favorite memories of being outdoors as a child? Did you notice God’s presence with you then? How does spending time in nature now help you look beyond your stressful circumstances to God? What’s one simple pleasure in the food you enjoy on picnics (like a certain flavor or texture) that you’re grateful to God for? Psalm 104 mentions blessings that make our hearts glad. What’s one part of God’s creation that always lifts your mood? How can you change your schedule to include picnics with God during good weather on a regular basis?

Some journeys unfold in a straight line. Others drift like smoke, following instinct rather than direction. For his debut appearance on the Magician On Duty Journey Series, Calatrava (@calatravaa) offers a recording that lives somewhere between sunrise and the final moments of the night. It is a patient conversation between pulse and silence, where each transition feels less like a DJ mix and more like the turning of a page. Time stretches, rhythms breathe, and melodies arrive quietly, leaving room for the listener to wander. Calatrava's story begins in Moscow, where intimate underground gatherings became the laboratory for a sound shaped by restraint instead of excess. Drawn to the subtle tension of minimal techno, deep house, and downtempo, he learned to build momentum through detail rather than spectacle, allowing every record to reveal itself slowly. Everything shifted with his move to Tulum in 2022. Surrounded by a community searching for new musical languages, he co-founded EXO, a gathering dedicated to slower frequencies and open-minded selectors. What began as a local event series soon grew into one of the region's most respected platforms, welcoming artists including Magician On Duty, Kyong Sono, DPAZ, NADA, RoMo, MoM, YOU&I, and many others. The vision naturally expanded into EXO Records, a home for music that favors feeling over formula. Today, Calatrava continues to shape his own path through original productions and performances across Mexico, guided by curiosity rather than convention. His sets refuse obvious climaxes, choosing instead to dissolve the boundaries between genres, cultures, and states of mind. That philosophy flows effortlessly through this Journey Series episode. Across eighteen carefully chosen selections, delicate arpeggios dissolve into earthy percussion, forgotten melodies reappear in unexpected forms, and hypnotic grooves give way to moments of quiet reflection before finding their pulse once again. Music from Arutani, Iorie, Madmotormiquel, NADA, Mira & Christopher Schwarzwälder, Juliano Gomez, gázel, O_Y and others becomes part of a single, unbroken narrative—less a collection of tracks than a landscape slowly revealing itself with every step. This is a mix for long roads, hidden beaches, empty dance floors at dawn, and those rare moments when music says more than words ever could. Tracklist: 1. Soble – Some Arps 2.

Your kids are glued to screens all summer and you are running out of ideas to pull them away. But what if 3 items from your kitchen pantry could spark more curiosity than any tablet ever could? Shark Week is the perfect excuse to make it happen.This episode walks you through 3 hands-on shark week activities that bust common shark myths, teach real marine biology, and get your kids off screens without a single worksheet or complicated plan:✅Why hands-on observation builds deeper thinking skills than any screen or textbook✅Discover how Shark Week can spark curiosity beyond marine biology, inspiring kids to ask better questions and pursue learning on their own.✅How following your child's natural interests develops confidence, critical thinking, and the drive to keep learning long after the lesson ends.✅Practical ways to replace passive learning with hands-on exploration that encourages curiosity, resilience, and independent learners.Resources for You:Shark Unit Study Flash Sale — save $10 with code SHARKWEEK (you pay only $5)Show Notes:Your Secret Weapon for Getting Kids Off Screens This SummerIt's a hot summer morning in July. You planned for a peaceful, screen-free summer. Instead, you're exhausted, and that phrase — Mom, I'm bored — is just echoing through your house. There's a magnetic pull between your kids and their tablets, the TV, the video games. And somehow that is winning the battle, especially with high-energy boys. They're zoning out in front of those screens and you feel guilty because you want them to love learning, not consume a bunch of pixels.I've got a secret weapon for you today. You don't need a complicated curriculum or a lecture to fix this. You need a topic that instantly captures their imagination. And with Shark Week coming up next week, we're going to use sharks to get your kids off those tablets and into real learning — right at the kitchen table.Mary Anning and the Power of CuriosityBefore we dive in, I want to give you a little historical background. There was a woman named Mary Anning in the 19th century. She was completely self-taught. She lived in England, gathered fossils, and had no formal science background. Out of 9 kids, only Mary and her older brother Joseph survived to adulthood. Life was hard.But she had a dad with great influence. Her father Richard was a cabinet maker and an avid fossil collector. His five-year-old sidekick Mary would come along and he would show her how to collect fossils at the beaches where they worked. He meticulously taught her how to locate specimens, get them out safely, and clean the delicate finds. Then he would put what they found in the storefront of his cabinet shop.Dads, you have a great impact on your kids.Mary was denied formal education — like most women and girls of her time — but she taught herself to read. And she used curiosity, drive, and perseverance to make contributions to science that are still recognized today. That is what I want for your kids in this episode.Before You Start — Grab Three ThingsGo to your kitchen cabinet right now and get these three things. A bottle of cooking oil. A small empty plastic bottle. And a handful of pennies. Just put them on the counter. Physically setting them out says — today is a hands-on learning day.Myth Buster #1: Sharks Sink Like Stones If They Stop SwimmingThe myth is that sharks sink like stones if they stop swimming. Here's the truth — bony fish have swim bladders filled with gas to float. Sharks don't have swim bladders. Instead, they have a massive, oily liver that acts like a natural flotation device. Oil is lighter than water, so that giant oily liver keeps them buoyant.Here's the activity. Fill your sink with water. Drop in your empty bottle and let your kids watch. It sinks. Now ask them — what do you think happens if I fill the bottle with oil? Don't tell them. Let them observe and be curious. Fill the bottle with cooking oil, close it tightly, and drop it in. It floats. The oil is lighter than the water and rises to the top. Super easy, but so powerful.Myth Buster #2: Sharks Can Smell Blood From Miles Away Through MagicIt's not magic — it's a highly acute olfactory navigation system. Sharks track scent gradients through water currents. God gave them the ability to smell, and that is essentially their steering wheel. Like we drive a car with our eyes, sharks navigate with their smell.Here's the activity. Get a bowl of warm water. Have your kids sit perfectly still. Drop red food coloring on one side and watch what happens. The current in that warm water carries the food coloring across the bowl — just like the way a scent pathway travels to a shark through the ocean. Let them observe, ask questions, and come up with conclusions.This is exactly what Charlotte Mason was talking about when she said kids learn best when they're allowed to interact with the real world — not reading dry textbook summaries. When kids use their own senses to observe nature, they develop deep analytical skills. No prepackaged textbook or screen can duplicate this.Myth Buster #3: Losing a Tooth Is an Emergency for a SharkFor us humans, we get two sets of teeth. Lose one from the second set and it's gone for good. Sharks are completely different. They have a conveyor belt system of teeth and can grow up to 35,000 teeth in a lifetime. Their teeth don't have deep roots, so they fall out easily while hunting — and new ones just move right into place.Here's the activity. You'll need Play-Doh or modeling clay and your pennies — or small pebbles. Roll the clay into a thick strip representing a shark's jaw. Push the pennies in one by one, layered behind each other like shingles on a roof. Have one of your kids pull out the front tooth and watch how the others shift right into place. Simple visual, powerful concept.What to Do From HereThose are your three myth busters — the oily liver, the olfactory steering system, and the conveyor belt tooth system. From here, get your library card and spend no more than five minutes searching sharks online. Pick up two or three books, or a documentary if you have DVDs. Give your kids immediate, high-quality material to dig into right after they make a mess at the kitchen table.Hands-on learning gets kids off the screens. I know for a fact — when I go visit my grandkids, they are not on their screens. They're not even watching TV. But it does take energy to plan, to find the books, to build activities, and to organize a week from scratch.If you want to skip the planning completely and be ready for Shark Week with everything done for you, grab our Shark Unit Study. Today is day one of our flash sale — use the code SHARKWEEK by Friday and save $10, which means you pay only $5. You get shark life cycle activities, a curated list of books and videos with activities to go with each one, these three myth busters, shark-themed snacks, crafts, shark binoculars, and an ocean unit tie-in as well. It's plug-and-play for your summer.If this sparked one little idea, would you share it with one homeschool mom or your co-op? That would mean the world to me.

This week on The Necessary Conversation, Chad, Haley, and Mary Lou enter a brave new world in which Mary Lou said she wants to abolish ICE. Let that sink in.

What if the thing exhausting you isn't only what's happening with your big kid, but the constant fight inside you against the fact that it's happening at all? Today, I'm continuing the Mindset Traps of Parenting Teens and the Empty Nest series with a focus on resisting reality... the habit of fighting what is because it isn't what you hoped, expected, or wanted. In this episode, I unpack why this reaction feels so natural for moms navigating motherhood, letting go, and a changing relationship with their child. You'll begin to recognize how resistance can keep you trapped in anxiety, power struggles, resentment, and overthinking. More importantly, I'll show you how to stop fighting reality without giving up or condoning behavior you disagree with. When you face what is, you gain the clarity to set boundaries, trust yourself, and choose how you want to respond... with greater peace, confidence, compassion, and connection.

Have you ever noticed how a movie quote or scene can stay in your mind for years? Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's powerful. And sometimes God uses those unexpected moments to remind us of deep spiritual truths. In this episode of Masculine Journey After Hours, the guys share some of their favorite movie clips that have lived "rent free" in their minds—and explore how God has used them to reveal identity, freedom, courage, healing, purpose, and hope. From Gladiator, Braveheart, Open Range, Back to the Future III, The Butterfly Circus, Christmas Vacation, Caddyshack, Mr. Mom, and more, each clip sparks a meaningful conversation about what it means to live as the men God created us to be. Join us for an episode filled with laughter, memorable movie moments, and practical spiritual insights that remind us God can use almost anything—even Hollywood—to speak to our hearts. There's no advertising or commercials, just men of God, talking and getting to the truth of the matter. The conversation and Journey continues. If today's conversation encouraged you, we'd love for you to take the next step. Visit masculinejourney.org to learn more about our boot camps, podcasts, and ministries. Whether you're just beginning your journey or looking to go deeper, there's a place for you. We'd love to have you join us.

He Collapsed My Lungs & Ended Up WANTED w/ Kristin Swan (TW abuse) | The Hopeaholics Podcast #345Kristin grew up in Lakeville, Massachusetts, an hour south of Boston, in a house where disease was already present before she arrived at it. Her mother drank and went to meetings and died the day right after Mother's Day. Both her cousins are gone from fentanyl poisoning. By 15 she was cycling in and out of psychiatric hospitals, diagnosed bipolar, put on lithium, hearing voices. She hadn't touched a drug yet.By 20 she was in a relationship with a man dealing crack out of their apartment. She saw the red flags early. She stayed anyway. It all ended in a snowstorm when he body-slammed her, collapsed both lungs, and stomped her head with Timberlands on while she was in the bathtub. She created a diversion, kicked the wall, and ran out barefoot into the snow while he searched for her. She hid in the bushes behind a neighbor's house and a man who barely spoke English called an ambulance. When she did find sobriety, it looked like what the promises are supposed to look like. A good sponsor. An interior design job. Things starting to make sense. Then a relapse. Now she's coming back. She's working the program again, going to bonfire meetings on the beach, building something small and clean, trying to put God first and figure out the rest from there. TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

It's been another steamy few days that have fully exhausted me. Miles have become harder due to my tiredness, not the terrain. I'm hoping a change in the weather will revive me once more.

What if rigor isn't about children sitting still, pushing through tedium, and finishing every worksheet without complaint?In this episode, we reimagine rigor as a meaningful challenge: the kind children willingly embrace when the goal matters to them. From math games and secret codes to bird lists, comics, Pokémon tea time, and writing that reaches an interested audience, we explore how hard work becomes inviting when it is rooted in play, connection, and curiosity.We share practical ways to build reading, writing, handwriting, spelling, math, and science skills without draining the joy from learning.Join us as we rethink what rigorous learning can look like at home.Resources:Learn a new language with Talkbox!

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel. Andrew Santino sits down with rising comedian Zac Townsend for a hilarious conversation about stand-up, touring, life on the road, internet fame, writing jokes, and all the ridiculous moments that come with trying to make people laugh for a living. Zac shares stories from his rapid rise through the comedy world, what it's like building an audience online while sharpening his act on stage, and why the best comedians never stop chasing the next laugh. From awkward gigs to wild road stories, Santino and Zac bounce between honest comedy talk and complete nonsense in the best possible way.
