Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon to discuss the Hornets' hot play, a huge shooting night including an MVP level performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to power OKC over the Nuggets. Then, the guys talk about a big night at MSG where the Knicks showed the promise of their roster ahead of the trade deadline continuing their strong play of late. Next we break down why the Cavs may be the most interesting team to watch at the trade deadline before awarding the highly anticipated January Cojones Factor Player of the Month.

I give my thoughts on the headliner fights for UFC 325 as well as Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson at MSG tonight

Evan starts by waving the white flag on winter, then quickly pivots into a debate that takes over the segment: why are Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks tickets at Madison Square Garden suddenly the hottest regular-season get in years? Is it the “last chance” to see LeBron James in the Garden, is it actually about Luka Dončić, or is it just pure MSG hype? The crew argues about whether LeBron even has a real Garden legacy, why Barclays does not command the same prices, and how much of this is New York chasing a moment they do not want to miss. Along the way, callers weigh in on the iconic player plus iconic venue theory, and Evan admits he once paid big to see LeBron and barely remembers the details now, making the whole “last chance” logic even funnier. Then the segment takes a sharp turn into classic New York chaos when a caller tries to pitch a blockbuster New York Mets and New York Yankees trade involving Juan Soto, and Evan shuts it down fast, with plenty of jokes and disbelief before the show rolls on.

Evan finally tapping out on winter, then immediately pivots into the strangest market story in New York sports right now: why Los Angeles Lakers at New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden has turned into a premium ticket that is somehow bigger than recent LeBron visits and even other historic regular-season moments. Evan challenges the idea that this is about a “last chance” to see LeBron James at MSG, arguing there is no real Garden legacy the way Michael Jordan had, and questioning why the cheaper Barclays Center option does not scratch the same itch. Then the twist: a caller insists the real draw is Luka Dončić, not LeBron, which sends the crew into a full LeBron vs Luka demand debate, including the “iconic player, iconic venue” argument and whether paying that kind of money is actually worth it years later. From there the segment veers into pure Nets anxiety. A caller asks for a sanity check on reports and speculation linking Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Brooklyn Nets, and Evan goes off: if the Nets chase Giannis right now while tanking, he wants heads to roll. He breaks down what is real reporting versus dot-connecting, why offseason timing matters, and why Brooklyn should only be involved as a facilitator for assets, not as a desperate buyer. The rant brings back an all-time flashback to Evan's on-air reaction to the James Harden trade, and he warns that a Giannis move would make that meltdown look tame.

It is a packed sports and pop culture run as the Brooklyn Nets hit the road, the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, and New York Islanders all take the ice, and New York Knicks host the Los Angeles Lakers at MSG in what might be the hottest ticket in years. Then the conversation veers into WWE madness with the Royal Rumble airing at a very strange Saturday afternoon time from Saudi Arabia. Viewing habits get debated, streaming platforms get questioned, and bold predictions are made, including a surprise pick involving Braun Breaker, plus talk of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Liv Morgan, and Sami Zayn. And just when things cannot get any more unhinged, the weekly fan favorite returns as “Idiots With Idioms” delivers an all time long, chaotic recap of verbal slip ups across the station. Sports, wrestling, nostalgia, and total nonsense all wrapped into one very busy segment.

The Carton Show goes completely off the rails on WFAN as Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle spiral from a bizarre “suck eggs” insult from a Giants fan into a full-blown LeBron James takedown. Carton unloads on LeBron's legacy, MSG tributes, the Jordan debate, and why LeBron gets NOTHING in New York. Plus: Jets trade arguments, Sauce Gardner debates, Fear Factor and Hollywood Squares nostalgia, Wink Martindale, beef jerky hunting across Jersey, and Carton's all-time bad Halloween candy take.

Daily Study Many Christian entrepreneurs want God to increase their business, but growth does not always stop for financial or strategic reasons. This Daily Word examines a leadership principle from 3 John that reveals how truth must be able to move freely through a business for God to scale and sustain it. Using the examples of Gaius, Diotrephes, and Demetrius, this message shows how hospitality allows truth to flow, ego blocks correction, and integrity sustains long-term growth. It also highlights John's warning not to imitate what is evil, explaining how unguarded success can quietly reshape standards and undermine alignment. Christian entrepreneurs are encouraged to examine whether their leadership posture allows truth, accountability, and goodness to govern their decisions so God can trust their business with increase. __________ 3 John 1 CSB, Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭TPT, Romans 12:13 TPT, ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:18 ERV‬‬, ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT, Proverbs 11:3 MSG, Luke 16:10 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Hour 3 opens with Evan owning his “Nets shocked the world” slip, plus a full recap of the quickest 6–4 hope in sports history as he takes his five-year-old to MSG and watches the Knicks turn it into a crime scene. Then the guys debate whether Tommy is officially a group chat squatter and if the crew should quietly boot him at the perfect time. From there, it's real Giants business: the organization starts clearing out long-time staffers as John Harbaugh puts his stamp on the building, with Tiki explaining how those behind-the-scenes changes actually work and why some “family” staples may not survive this new era. Then the moment of the hour: Andrew Caplan's audio package that proves John Harbaugh and Joe Biden are voice doppelgangers. Once you hear it back-to-back, you cannot unhear it. Plus: Mets fans call in with the perfect word for this offseason, confusion, as the “hope mode” roster debate rages on. And the hour closes with pure Cinco de Lunch chaos as the crew fires off their top five New York starting pitchers lists and immediately starts a civil war over where Peralta, McClain, Rodon, Cole, and the new Yankees arms belong.

Evan isn't screaming, he's just being honest: he did not celebrate the Freddy Peralta trade. Yes, the Mets are better right now and the rotation finally looks legit, but Evan's main fear is simple: this feels like a one-year rental, and they paid two top-100 prospects (Jett Williams and Brandon Sproat) to do it. That sparks the real debate for Mets fans: what result makes a rental worth it, World Series or bust? Plus, Mets fans flood the phones to defend the move, rip the move, and argue whether Stearns and Cohen are building a sustainable plan or living year to year. And Evan delivers a classic story from MSG, including the rough night as a Nets dad and the even tougher conversation explaining to his son why “Jet” is suddenly no longer a Mets prospect.

Hour 2 opens with a bold prediction: if the Knicks lose to the Nets at MSG, Mike Brown might be gone immediately. The guys debate how quick the trigger could be, what a replacement could look like, and whether the Knicks are at the point where you do something drastic or just pray it magically fixes itself. Then the show pivots back to Giants Day with an early Cinco de Luncho: Shaun ranks the five most exciting Giants moments since Super Bowl XLVI, with Jaxson Dart's arrival, draft night hope, and today's John Harbaugh introduction sitting at the top of the list. The building buzz is real at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center as the press conference gets closer. The calls bring heat on both sides: Knicks fans go in on Karl-Anthony Towns and the locker room chemistry, plus a fascinating Carmelo Anthony clip about KAT's “rabbit ears” and how outside noise can wreck a player mid game. The guys also talk about where the Knicks spiral actually began, what's changed in their style and urgency, and why the vibe feels broken. Finally, the Harbaugh optimism gets its first speed bump when a caller brings up late game coaching decisions and blown leads in Baltimore. The guys discuss coaching shelf life, evolution, and why a fresh start can actually sharpen a coach who's already proven he can win big.

The segment opens with a bold declaration that if the Brooklyn Nets beat the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Mike Brown could be fired almost immediately. The guys debate how real that scenario is, why this moment feels different from past Knicks slides, and whether ownership is nearing a breaking point with a team that entered the season with championship expectations. The conversation quickly turns into a deep dive on Karl-Anthony Towns, his trade value, his on court frustrations, and the growing belief that he is not respected around the league or even fully protected internally. Callers weigh in on whether dumping KAT actually improves the roster or simply removes a problem from the locker room. From there, the show widens to New York sports big picture talk, comparing this Knicks chaos to past transformational hires like Pat Riley and Bill Parcells, and why those moments mattered. The segment also detours into Jets talk, including why elite coaches gravitate toward stability and quarterbacks, and why the Giants job clearly beat the Jets in this cycle. All of it plays out with one major backdrop looming over the hour: the anticipation building at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center as Giants fans wait to hear from John Harbaugh, with the optimism around the Giants standing in stark contrast to the dysfunction unfolding at MSG.

The Knicks conversation gets grim. After another ugly loss and boos at MSG, the guys lay out the three options facing New York: ride it out, dump Karl-Anthony Towns, or fire Mike Brown. They discuss whether the locker room has quit, why the KAT relationship feels beyond repair, and how stunning it is that this is even the conversation in January.

The New York Rangers’ problems deepened with an 8–4 loss to Ottawa, their fifth straight defeat and 30 goals against, with J.T. Miller carefully noting the Sens were “more ready to play.” Injuries to Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox don’t mask bigger issues — the team lacks speed, the defence isn’t good enough, draft capital is thin. Restless fans at MSG are surely being heard by owner James Dolan, with Artemi Panarin’s expiring deal looming large. In New Jersey, Tom Fitzgerald owned the Devils’ struggles before an OT win over Seattle, a small but possible wake-up call as trade speculation around Dougie Hamilton continues. Buffalo stayed scorching hot, winning for the 14th time in 16 games while raising questions about Alex Tuch’s future and highlighting ongoing goaltending issues for the Philadelphia Flyers. Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames appear headed toward a rebuild, with trade chatter surrounding Rasmus Andersson, Nazem Kadri, and Blake Coleman, and a growing need to prioritize future returns.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Dr. Katherine Reid, founder of Unblind My Mind, and author, to talk about glutamate hidden in the food supply wreaking havoc on our health. With a daughter in the autism spectrum, Katherine discovered that removing gluten (including MSG) and casein in her food led to positive changes in her daughter's behavior, language and creativity. She then applied her expertise in biochemistry to study increased glutamate signaling in the body and its connection to chronic inflammations, one of the body's ways of signaling red fire alert. Learn about Katherine's struggles for glutamate awareness: against the quality of food available in schools, manufacturers that are not required to disclose glutamate content, the medical community's shortcomings, and indeed even her daughter who upon her adulthood decided to go back to eating highly processed food (with negative results, as Katherine observed). Find out about the importance of fiber, tips on choosing organic food, and how to quality control your home's food as detailed in her book, Fat, Stressed and Sick: MSG, Processed Foods and America's Health Crisis. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

Momofuku Ando is the father of Instant Ramen. Feeding Japan after the war. But how do you get Americans to eat it? Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Stephen’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is … well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [AirVantage Heating & Cooling Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. I’m Dave Young. Stephen Semple’s right there standing by, and he just told me what we’re going to be talking about and, man, it took me back to college days. In fact, I was looking at photos over the weekend. I have some photos of when I was in college, and this is way back 20 years before the turn of the century, to tell you how long ago this is. Stephen Semple: I hate how you put it that way. Dave Young: This is 20 years before the turn of the century. That’s a lifetime ago. But there were days in college where it’s like, “Well, gosh, Mom and Dad haven’t sent me any money and I haven’t gotten the job that I told myself I’d get,” so you go to the store, and what do you find? It’s either ramen or, if you want an upgrade, Cup O’ Noodles. And the Cup O’ Noodles, as everyone that’s ever been poor knows, is a noodle soup in a cup, and you take the lid off, put some water in it, throw it in the microwave, voila. Am I right? Is that what we’re talking about, or is this some new form? Stephen Semple: No, no, that’s what we’re talking about. That’s what we’re talking about, not some new Tesla called Cup O’ Noodles. No, no, you’re right, but I want you to hold onto that thought of it as being an upgrade from ramen, because we’re going to revisit that. Dave Young: Not an upgrade? Stephen Semple: We’re going to revisit that whole idea, because that’s brilliant. It was started in the 1950s and it was a new idea then, but today there’s over a hundred billion servings of instant noodles eaten every year. And it’s estimated that Cup O’ Noodles sells between 18 and 25 billion servings a year. It’s inside of a larger organization, so it’s hard to know exactly, but that’s the estimates I’ve come across. Dave Young: Dude, that’s like feeding the planet three times in one day. Stephen Semple: Right? Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: So, empire? Yeah. Dave Young: Yeah. There’s some guy sitting on top of that noodle money somewhere, and I guess we’re going to hear the story. Stephen Semple: So in the 1950s in the United States, food is boring. Eating out was like literally going to diners, and international food really only existed in big cities that had Chinatowns. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: And, following World War II, there was actually a strong anti-Asian feeling in the United States. Meanwhile, back in Osaka, Japan, there’s a food crisis after the war because basically Japan has been decimated, and bread is being distributed by the U.S. and it’s really plentiful, but people wanted more traditional meals. Dave Young: They’re not used to bread. Stephen Semple: Right. It’s not part of what they normally eat. So Momofuku Ando is a 48-year-old businessperson. He’s lost his company. He went to jail for tax evasion. All sorts of bad things went on, but he’s out of jail and he’s looking to start his new business, and he sees people lined up for ramen, so there is a ramen tie in here. Dave Young: There you go, yeah. Just to be fair, I wasn’t talking about ramen from a store or from a vendor. I’m talking about those little bricks of Top Ramen. Stephen Semple: Yeah, yeah. Hold onto that. Hold onto that thought. We are going to come back to that, yes. So, ramen was created when noodles basically came over from China, and 1910 is the earliest record we could find of a ramen shop in Japan, so it looked like it was around 1910. Dave Young: Yep. The Japanese didn’t have noodles till 1910? Stephen Semple: They didn’t have the type of noodles in ramen, yes. Dave Young: Okay. See, I mean, we could go a whole nother direction on this if you wanted to, in the Japanese industrialization of them going around the world and bringing all kinds of new technology back to Japan in the early 1900s. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Turns out, including noodle technology. Stephen Semple: Including noodle technology, and we forget how closed Japan was. Dave Young: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Basically, the only thing that was imported was silk. Right? That was about it. Very, very closed economy, and then yes, lots of … And when things changed in Japan, boy, they changed in a hurry. It went from basically medieval to industrial in like, that. It was crazy. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: I mean, you and I are both whiskey fans, and we know that the story of Japanese whiskey is the same story. The Japanese guy goes to Scotland, falls in love with Scotch whiskey, figures out how to make it, comes back to Japan and builds the Japanese whiskey industry. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Let’s go back to noodles. I’m sorry. I will distract us all day long. Stephen Semple: No, but it is an interesting thing. Now, the main drawback to ramen is it’s hard to make at home. The noodles need to be fresh. They’re hand-cut. They’ve got to come from shops. And so what Momofuku decides is he wants to make a ramen product that is tasty, non-perishable, easy to make, affordable, and ready in five minutes with hot water. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: That’s his goal. Dave Young: That’s a goal. Stephen Semple: On top of that, he has no culinary training. So he invests every last penny into this, because he needs something he can put into a grocery store as well on the non-perishable, because there’s few refrigerators or ovens in Japan at this time. Dave Young: Okay, yeah. Stephen Semple: And the key is the broth, and it can take days to make the broth. So here was his question. If everyone loves ramen, why is it so hard to make? And so he tries drying the noodles, then he gets the broth dried into the noodles, and he spends several years working on this and nothing seems to work. And one day, he notices his wife tempura-frying food and the batter dehydrates immediately the moment it hits the oil, because what does oil do? Removes water. So now what he does is he drops the noodle into this high-heat oil, and it creates a shell. He then takes fresh noodles, cooks them in the broth until it’s saturated, drops it into the oil, and the water is cooked out. It works. Dave Young: Wow. Stephen Semple: It works. He’s now got this dried noodle. Now he needs to get it in the store. So he starts with chicken ramen, and that’s more expensive. It’s about six times the price of regular ramen, but what he finds is people are willing to pay for the convenience. So in 1961, it hits stores in Osaka and it sells like crazy, and it’s called Magic Ramen by customers. Dave Young: Magic Ramen. I like that. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and he gets to the point where he borrows a million yen to open a factory. In the first year they’re doing 13 million packages, and the second year, 50 million packages a year. Now, to put that in perspective, 50 million packages a year, the TV dinners at that time is one half the number of sales of the amount of ramen that they’re selling in Japan, of this instant ramen. Dave Young: Wow. Okay. Stephen Semple: It’s 1962, and this idea is getting very copied. There’s now 70 companies in the space in Japan in a few short years. And some are also cheaper and the economy in Japan is still recovering, so Momofuku decides he’s going to spend a couple of million bucks and he’s going to bring this product to the United States. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Now, the timing is really bad. In 1968, there’s a hoax letter written to the New England Journal of Medicine by Dr. Kwok that MSG is unsafe and The New York Times reports on it, and this becomes a placebo effect on all Chinese food. Dave Young: What year was this? Stephen Semple: ’68. Dave Young: ’68, okay. Stephen Semple: The letter was written on a bet by Dr. Howard Steele, who was a pediatric who was having a hard time getting published, and there was this bet that, “Oh, I bet you if you wrote something this way, it would get published,” so he creates this hoax and it gets published. Dave Young: And people still believe it? Stephen Semple: Yeah. He created this fake research facility with a made-up name, and it’s amazing. Sounds kinda familiar for the world we’re in today, and MSG is declared unsafe for years later. Dave Young: Well, my wife thinks MSG doesn’t agree with her. Stephen Semple: Well, some people, it may not. Dave Young: Maybe it doesn’t, but I don’t know. Stephen Semple: But again, that could be just a food intolerance, right? Dave Young: You don’t know, yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. So Momofuku travels to the United States. Here’s one of the things he figures out. He runs into a bit of a challenge with the U.S. market. He realizes he needs to do sampling, because it became successful in Japan because it was a familiar food that became convenient, right? So it was only one step away, a familiar food that became convenient. It was not a familiar food in the United States, so he decided he needed to do sampling, so he goes over to the U.S., sets up sampling in grocery stores. This anti-Asia movement is so strong, people won’t even try it. It’s too new. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Won’t even try it. Dave Young: And don’t know what ramen is. Stephen Semple: Right. So when he’s done, he’s got all this product left over and he decides, “I’m not going to take this product back to Japan,” so he leaves it for the staff, but what he notices is the staff are eating it, but very differently. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories to Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: So when he’s done, he’s got all this product left over and he decides, “I’m not going to take this product back to Japan,” so he leaves it for the staff, but what he notices is the staff are eating it, but very differently. What he discovers is the staff break up the noodles, and put it in a coffee cup and pour in the hot water, and eat it in the break room. The recipe called for these large noodles to be put in a pot and then you transferred the pot to a bowl. Dave Young: Oh. Okay, yeah. Stephen Semple: So your Cup O’ Noodles, you know when you’re talking about the bricks of ramen? All it is is a brick of ramen, broken up into little bits. Dave Young: Sure. Well, I used to make it. I didn’t like the long noodles, so I would do the same thing just instinctively, because I’m an American from the Midwest. Stephen Semple: Yeah. What he also observed in all of this was that people called it noodles. Yeah. So they took the ramen, broke it up in little bits, put it in a coffee cup, poured in hot water and called it noodles. Dave Young: Noodles. I mean, that’s what Mom made for us when we weren’t feeling so good, right? It was some chicken noodle soup. Stephen Semple: Right. So now we have the familiar, remember? Dave Young: Yes. Stephen Semple: Successful in Japan because it was the familiar made convenient. Now we had the familiar. How do you make it convenient? He goes back to Japan, and he comes up with the idea of a styrofoam cup that you put it in. He added some vegetables, which made it a complete meal. Now, the Asian food scare was still there, but it’s not Asian food any longer, it’s a cup of noodles. Dave Young: Yeah. Brilliant. Stephen Semple: And he stopped calling it ramen. He called it a cup of noodles. And actually, originally it was called Cup Noodle and in 1973 they added the O’, so now it was Cup O’ Noodles. Dave Young: So, I mean, you could start riots in the U.S. There could be millions of idiots, that they’re going to be upset now that they were fooled into eating ramen instead of noodles. Stephen Semple: Well, I’m safely here in Canada. This is your problem to deal with. Dave Young: Yeah? I think you should put some kind of warning label on this episode. Stephen Semple: “Warning, may cause riots.” I like it. We may do that. We may do that. Dave Young: Yeah. “We’re just a victim of Big Ramen.” Stephen Semple: Yeah. Yeah. It’s one more unwanted foreign influence in the United States. Dave Young: Uh-huh. Stephen Semple: Today, the estimate is Cup O’ Noodles is like an $8 billion business, but what I found that was so interesting about this was his innovation all came from observation. Dave Young: Yes. Stephen Semple: He observed that people in Japan were eating ramen but couldn’t eat it at home for a bunch of reasons, so he wanted to make this community thing for home. He observed his wife with the tempura batter, which made for the breakthrough, had this huge success in Japan. But when he came to the United States, it was the whole thing of noticing the people eating it were doing it differently. They’re breaking it up, putting it in a cup, adding hot water. Now, there’s a business innovation lesson here but there’s a marketing lesson as well, because our greatest asset as marketers is observation of people. Dave Young: Exactly. Stephen Semple: It’s observing how people think, observing how people feel, observing how they act, observing how they react to things, and great marketing comes from observation. So does great innovation. Great innovation is seeing something on the right and pulling it over to the left. What I loved was this moment where he suddenly realized, “Wait a minute, ramen was successful in Japan because we took the familiar and made it convenient.” And then once people were looking at it like a soup, he was like, “Ooh, we make this more like a soup. We’re now taking the familiar and making it convenient, rather than making it a new food,” and I thought that was an unbelievably amazing observation. Dave Young: It is. And I think sometimes we get our heads into the books or the business or dealing with the oh, my God, the million little problems that just pop up in front of us every day, and we don’t step back to see the big picture. We don’t step back to observe. Stephen Semple: Well, we lose sight of what’s the customer actually thinking, and really that’s all that matters is what’s the customer thinking, right? What’s in their head? What’s going on in their world? How are they going to react to these things? And the more you understand that, the more you understand the human being on the other side of the … All ideas look great when you’re sitting in a boardroom with four white walls, a dropped ceiling and a spreadsheet. You can make anything work. The real thing is, how about the human being on the other side of that equation? That’s what matters. That’s what matters. Dave Young: I don’t want this to sound … Oh, I don’t care. I don’t care how this sounds. Stephen Semple: We’re already starting a riot, Dave. Go for it. Dave Young: Sometimes I get … I don’t use ChatGPT to write very much, but I will hand it something I’ve written and say, “Dumb it down.” Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: “Make the sentences shorter, make this understandable to a sixth grader,” and it does a pretty decent job of helping me figure that out. Stephen Semple: For sure. Dave Young: It’s not that I’m assuming that people are stupid, but there are some people. Think about this. This is touching on MAGA territory here, but if you think about how smart the average person is, realize that half of the people are less smart than that. When you have a cup of ramen and a word that nobody’s heard, ramen, nobody knew what ramen was in the United States in the 1960s or ’70s. Stephen Semple: No, they didn’t. Dave Young: But they all knew what a noodle is. Stephen Semple: Noodle was. Yes. Dave Young: Grandma’s made us noodles forever. We like noodles. We like them in casseroles. We like them in stroganoff. That’s just beef and noodles, and noodle soup. And so if you change the word ramen, you get over yourself, you get over the fact that, “Well, people need to understand that ramen is not quite the same,” no, no, no, no, no. These are noodles. Stephen Semple: Just call it a noodle. Dave Young: Just call it a noodle. Stephen Semple: And that’s what was brilliant in the name, Cup O’ Noodles. Dave Young: Yeah. I think there are business owners and marketers that feel like the answer is to educate people. Stephen Semple: It never is. Dave Young: Never is. That hardly ever works. You need to associate your product with something they already know and understand. Stephen Semple: Attach the unfamiliar to the familiar, and we’ve talked about that a number of times in this podcast. But one of my favorite business books is Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath, and one of the things that they talk about is there’s six things that make a message sticky, and one of them is simple. Simple, I have a different take. I hate the term, dumbing things down. I like instead, let’s simplify it, because when a message is simple, it’s easier for everyone to absorb. It actually takes less brainpower to figure it out, and let’s face it. I’m in a world today where I’m competing with 5,000 messages a day. If it’s complicated and it takes time, it’s not that a person’s lazy, it’s not that they’re dumb. It’s, look, there’s just too much coming at them. The brain is like, “I don’t have time for that, because I got too much stuff coming at me.” So the more you can simplify it down, connect it, make it concrete, attach the unfamiliar to the familiar, the easier the brain just goes, “I get that. I understand it.” We need to make it easy because we’re competing with so much. Dave Young: No, I agree. Stephen Semple: As soon as you go down this path of I got to educate the consumer, give me a break, because I’m supposed to be educated on the food I eat, the air I breathe, the water I drink, the education, how I teach my kids, my health, my finances, my car, my air conditioning. Dude, I don’t have enough time to get educated, all that stuff. I have a busy life, and what I want to do is watch the hockey game at night. Dave Young: I agree. I agree 100% with you. And I’ll add this. There are still people that are stupid that eat three times a day. Stephen Semple: Yes, there are. There are. Dave Young: And they eat three times a day and want a Cup O’ Noodles. Stephen Semple: Absolutely. Absolutely. Dave Young: The simplification works in both directions, right? Stephen Semple: That’s the key. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: That’s the key. Dave Young: That’s why it works so well. Stephen Semple: Right, because it wins you actually both ends of the spectrum. What it does is wins you everyone. Dave Young: Yeah. Stephen Semple: Everyone. It wins you everyone. That’s the point I want to make. Dave Young: If the sixth grader can understand it, so can the PhD. Stephen Semple: Correct. Well, and not only that. You’ll attract the attention of the PhD because they too only have so much time. Dave Young: Yeah. Simplify, simplify. Cool. Stephen Semple: This was fun. So here’s the interesting thing, Dave, is going back to your early statement of, “Oh, I didn’t eat ramen, I ate a Cup O’ Noodles.” Dude, you eat ramen. Dave Young: Now you know. You know, I never thought that the ramen had enough carbs in it, so I always crumbled a package of crackers in as well, to make it kind of a paste. Sometimes there’s just not enough carbs in it, so you just add some potato flakes. It thickens right up. Yeah, I was a master at that. Stephen Semple: You there were a connoisseur. Dave Young: You can use it as grout. Thank you for bringing us the story of Cup O’ Noodles, Stephen. Stephen Semple: We’re going to start a riot. Thanks, David.

Adoption: Neither Rejection Nor Abandonment Could Stop God’s Adoption Plan Introduction The Lies We've Let Ourselves Believe The Phrases of Abandonment and Rejection i.      “I’m not good enough and I need to be perfect or successful to be worthy of love.” ii.      “Everyone secretly hates me and no one wants me around.” iii.      “My emotions are too big to control, so I’m consumed by my anger and rage.” iv.      “I should feel shame and fear [about my life or life experiences].” v.      “I need to medicate the deep internal isolation/rejection I feel with [a physical stimulus].” vi.      “I have no worth beyond what I can provide.” vii.      “I’m a victim to circumstances I can’t escape.” viii.      “I cannot find rest in this world.” ix.      “No one else will ever understand me or what I’m going through.” x.      “I’m in competition with other people; there’s not ‘enough’ for all of us.” What We Say About Ourselves Matters i.      Key Scripture: Proverbs 18:21 [MSG] ii.      There's an enemy on the prowl 1.      1 Peter 5:8 2.      John 10:10 iii.      There’s an enemy on the prowl; he is looking to steal, kill, and destroy, but he has no real power over you. His time and power are limited and he’s looking for you to let him in. Your words can be his way in. iv.      Book Recommendation: Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left out, and Lonely by Lysa Terkeurst v.      We have to confront the lies we have allowed ourselves to believe. Jesus did not redeem you so that you can still be stuck believing that your temporary circumstances still define who you are. BUT GOD! Key Scripture: Ephesians 1:5 The Details of Adoption i.      Greek word transliterated into “huiothesia.” ii.      Huiothesia is derived from two Greek words: “huios” meaning “son” and “tithemi” meaning “to place, put, or set.” iii.      Huiothesia literally translates to “placing as a son.” iv.      Additional Scriptures where huiothesia is used: Romans             8:15, Romans 8:23, Romans 9:4, Galatians 4:5 New Testament View on Adoption i.      Roman adoption was almost always something that happened to an adult, not a child Key point: You belonging, your adoption into a new family, was always the plan. Scripture vs. The Lies We Believe Lie: “I’m not good enough and I need to be perfect or successful to be worthy of love” i.      Scripture: Ephesians 2:10 ii.      Key point: You've already been called a masterpiece; the worth is already there. Lie: “Everyone secretly hates me and no one wants me around.” i.      Scripture: Psalm 139:14 ii.      Key point: How can someone shaped by God Himself not be wanted? This is a voice that’s meant to draw you into isolation, don’t follow it… Lie: “My emotions are too big to control, so I’m consumed by my anger and rage.” i.      Scriptures: Romans 12:21; Galatians 5:16, 19-21 ii.      Key point: Hey, all emotions are valid, all behavior is not. The Spirit of the LORD can and will help you not be consumed by your emotions. Lie: “I should feel shame and fear [about my life or life experiences]” i.      Scriptures: Romans 8:33-34; 2 Timothy 1:7 ii.      Key point: It’s okay to leave behind fear and shame. Lie: “I need to medicate the deep internal isolation/rejection I feel with [a physical stimulus].” i.      Scripture: Colossians 2:10 ii.      Key point: You can't find the healing and fulfillment you're craving anywhere else. Every “solution” will be temporary (yes, even healthy ones) when they’re not paired with Christ. When we draw near to God, He draws near to us and this is where healing actually begins. Lie: “I have no worth beyond what I can provide.” i.      Scripture: Romans 5:6-8(MSG) ii.      Key point: We, you and I both, had nothing to offer God. No skill, no talent, no resource, no activity He was interested in, no nothing. He thought and thinks you’re valuable in spite of that detail. We don’t need to beg for “scraps of His love” by presenting Him with our accomplishments, you already are loved and therefore have worth. Additionally, in relationships sometimes you will be the one giving help and other times you'll be the one receiving it, but both times you still have the same worth! Lie: “I’m a victim of circumstances I can’t escape.” i.      Scriptures: Psalm 71:20; 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 ii.      Key point: Your suffering hasn’t gone unnoticed and while it can fool you into believing there is no escape, you are not destroyed. Turn your eyes towards God who has created an escape for you, so that with Him you may be able to bear. Lie: “I cannot find rest in this world.” i.      Scriptures: Isaiah 40:30-31(NKJV); Matthew 11:28 ii.      Key point: I want to point out that to grow weary is not a fault of yours; it’s not some defect exclusive to you…it’s okay to be tired. Even the youths get tired, but here’s the Good News: the wait is over. There’s a lighter burden available, but we need to see it in the spiritual. However, there is a choice to be made: we must choose to come. Lie: “No one else will ever understand me or what I’m going through.” i.      Scriptures: Psalm 139:1-2; John 15:18; Hebrews 12:3 ii.      Key point: Please excuse my sense of humor, but you’re not that special…There’s nothing new under the sun (Ecc 1:9); suffering is not unique to you, it's the human condition. The LORD knows everything about you AND our suffering Savior knows exactly how you feel. You’re not crying out to someone who isn’t empathetic. His innocence met hostility and mistreatment, it’s not an experience unique to you…let Him comfort you. Lie: “I’m in competition with other people; there’s not ‘enough’ for all of us.” i.      Key point: Maybe this isn’t one you’ve said out loud or even admitted to yourself, but I wonder if it has shown up in your behavior. Desperate for acceptance and successful relationships we begin to act out of scarcity. Seeing the success of others begins to make you feel like there’s now somehow less success available for you. The success of their relationship means there is now less opportunity for you. Now suddenly you’re in secret competition with the people you should be praying for. A scarcity mindset is unbelief and comparison kills joy. Be the best YOU because that's who God made you! ii.      Scripture: 1st the admonishment — James 3:14-15 iii.      Scripture: 2nd the truth – 2 Corinthians 9:8 iv.      Scripture: 3rd the requirement – Philippians 2:4 v.      There is a God who is big enough to see and provide for all of us and any statement otherwise is a lie from the pit of hell. Still Room for Improvement Key Scripture: Romans 8:1 Am I Part of the Problem? i.      Understanding your identity as a child of God doesn't mean you just become a perfect person. Wearing a Kingdom identity well requires us to do some work. ii.      An Illustration from King David 1.      Innocent David a.       Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18:28-29; 19:1-5, 9 2.      Not so innocent David a.       Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:1-9 3.      Two things can be true at once: 1) we can be innocent and be mistreated and 2) we can behave in ways that produce negative outcomes. We need to be aware of both. 4.      Trauma shaped identities can cause turmoil in our relationships and result in people not wanting to be around us. This is not persecution; it’s the direct consequence of our undesirable behavior. Fooled By Our Sin Nature i.      “God made me like this.” With love, He didn't. ii.      Scripture: Psalm 139:23-24 1.      God can (and will) reveal to us the parts of our identities that we have taken on that are not from Him. Sin has distorted our standard of right and wrong; this means it’s not safe for us to rely solely on our own thoughts. iii.      Scripture: 2 Corinthians 13:5 1.      Genuine faith should produce obedience and faith and obedience produces Christ-like behavior. 2.      We must repent, turn away from, and make amends when our behaviors cause harm or else we will never maintain and experience the fullness of relationship with others and this is a detriment to our spiritual family and our Kingdom assignment. Conclusion: Taking on a New Identity Key scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 i.      There is no need to identify ourselves by our hurts, struggles, or failures. There is a more important title for you: An heir to the Kingdom of God. Here’s another one: Beloved Child of God. ii.      It has always been God’s pIan to welcome you home to Him. Please put on and live out your proper identity, the Kingdom needs its workers. Closing Scripture: John 1:12-13

"Home for Christmas" Series 12/03/2025 Isaiah 11:1-5 (MSG)

Recorded LIVE at our 2026 Beginning of the Year Fasting & Prayers (Day 2) our Senior Pastor, Rev Dr Femi Paul, led the church in powerful prayers focused on addressing enemy action and resistance to destiny opportunities. The prophetic charge for the day was unmistakable: No enemy action will truncate my opportunities in 2026. No way. Anchored on 1 Corinthians 16:9, we were reminded that the presence of opposition does not negate opportunity. In fact, Scripture reveals that great and productive doors often open in the midst of many opponents. The teaching highlighted two major categories of resistance: Enemies Within & Enemies Without. Scripture Readings: MARK 10:46-49 1 COR 16:9 (CEV) 1 SAM 17:28 (NKJV) 1 SAM 17:28 (MSG) 1 SAM 18:2 (NKJV) 1 SAM 18:1-2 (MSG) 2 KINGS 2:3 (NKJV) 2 KINGS 2:5 (NKJV) 2 KINGS 2:15 (NKJV) NEH 4:7-9A (NKJV) NEH 4:9A (MSG) Prayers: Father, I declare that no enemy action will truncate my opportunities in 2026. I overcome internal and external resistance by Your power. I move forward boldly into every door You have opened for me, in Jesus name. Amen.

Smoke in your lungs, fire at your back, and a decision you can't postpone: run or turn around and help. That's where our conversation goes when a Marine walks us through an Osprey crash in Australia—alarms, hard banks, treetops, impact, then blackness split by orange flame. He unstraps, bolts, then sprints back to push guys farther from the heat, watching crew pull a barely conscious crew chief from the wreck. The pilots didn't make it. The adrenaline masked pain for hours; the paperwork later masked responsibility.To watch the full episode in studio, visit: https://youtu.be/Z03jag9JUtcBefore that day, he'd already been recalibrated by the world. MSG duty stationed him at embassies where suits, diplomacy, and three‑letter agencies share space and secrets. Tokyo set a new high bar for food quality, cleanliness, and civic discipline—Ikigai made visible in daily work. In Riyadh, he discovered how rules and reality diverge, where expats and elites create an underground nightlife, and how scarcity turns access into currency. Those scenes weren't about flexing; they were about understanding how networks, incentives, and culture really move people.Back in the fleet, Australia's ranges delivered heat, snakes, crocs, and the kind of miles that make you question why the range is always twenty clicks away. Then came the flight he couldn't shake. Afterward, flying became a ritual of white‑knuckled prayer. The VA process added its own turbulence. Meanwhile, travel kept tugging. Ancient stones in Egypt and temple quiet in Kyoto didn't just awe—they argued. Over time, he found his way back to faith, this time owned and practiced: Orthodox prayer morning and night and a willingness to speak plainly online about politics, war, and conscience because he's stood close to the consequences.If you're here for action, you'll get it.

Marriage should come with a warning label. The divorce rate is almost 50%, and the younger you get married, the higher the likelihood of divorce. The reason for such statistics is that most of us don't understand what marriage is and the maturity required to live a married life.  __________ Matthew 19:10–12 MSG, Genesis 2:18 KJV, 1 Corinthians 7:32–34 NLT __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
