Holiday chaos is closing in, but we're not letting the “dark time” steal the bench. We ride the high of the Cincinnati show: open hangar doors, perfect weather, strong models, and vendors who priced to move. That momentum rolls into plans for Murfreesboro, with friends heading in and schedules to wrangle. Live shows do more than fill a weekend—they sharpen your build list, set deadlines, and remind you why the hobby's community matters. We also pull back the curtain on production: episode 151 is juggling a guest schedule, so we're prepping a plan B, while episode 152 locks in a shop talk with Seattle-area multi-genre standout Tim Nelson. Tim's approach to ships, cars, and aircraft is a masterclass in transferable craft—paint discipline, sub-assembly planning, surface prep—that levels up any subject.The dojo is surging past 5,500 members, and the feed is buzzing with show reports, flyers, and WIP updates from across genres. We share a practical tip to keep your posts visible: avoid cross-posting from other groups to dodge Facebook's spam filter—rewrite natively and your updates won't get stalled. As days get shorter, we lean into small sessions, visible progress, and accountability through community. We're also looking ahead: HeritageCon, Fort Wayne Nationals, and AMP South Bend are already penciled for 2026, giving everyone milestones to build toward.Thanks to everyone who reached out about episode 150; the conversation around retirement and modeling clearly resonated. Keep the messages coming, keep inviting friends to the dojo, and keep the bench warm.

This Halloween marks 10 years of stories from Rod and Steve; to mark the holiday and our tenth anniversary, we're going to take you deep into the dark side of Appalachia with two chilling tales from southwest Virginia. First, Steve tells the story of three strange sisters who ran girls' schools in Murfreesboro and Christiansburg—women whispered to be linked to evil spirits and who eventually faced justice for a terrible crime. Some say their spirits still haunt the ground where their school stood in Christiansburg over a hundred years ago. Then, Rod shares the legend of two cunning sisters from Scott County, whose greed and cruelty led to a savage end. Their ghosts are said to still haunt the cemetery where they were denied burial.Be sure to subscribe for more Stories of Appalachia.Happy Halloween, y'all!

Ready to turn November into a nationwide model show tour? We line up four standout events—ModelZona in Phoenix, the Cleveland Model Show, Charlotte's Region 12 contest, and Middle Tennessee's ModelCon in Murfreesboro—and dig into the details that actually affect your day: judging style, registration windows, vendor-room depth, food, parking, and how fast awards wrap so you're not stuck in your chair at dusk.We start in Phoenix with ModelZona's clean one-room layout near Sky Harbor, a clear first/second/third judging approach, and thoughtful specials like Best 1945 Subject and the Raleigh Williams Craftsmanship Award. Cleveland follows with a Sunday show that truly works: two gyms split contest and vendors, elevated tables for easier viewing and photos, and an eclectic slate of special awards—from Scandinavian subjects to pop-up headlight cars to a people's choice Gundam/Mecha Pose. Charlotte adds a strong theme—From War to Peace—plus a non-sweeps policy, sold-out vendors, custom-designed Best Of awards, and a legendary Atomic Model Smasher for anyone needing a dramatic reset. Murfreesboro's ModelCon caps it with smooth flow, full IPMS categories, sold-out vendors across every genre, and Smokin' Butts BBQ parked out front; last year's 542 models set the tone for an even bigger turnout.Along the way we compare what each organizer gets right: editable PDF forms that speed check-in, early registration cutoffs that keep judging on track, separate halls that reduce crowding, and smart awards that celebrate more than just the top category winners. Most of all, we celebrate the real win—camaraderie. These shows are where online friends become real-world collaborators, techniques get traded, and inspiration sends you home itching to build.Map your route, print your forms, charge your camera, and bring cash for that rare kit you didn't know you needed.

Empty Religion Leads to Empty Lives | September 7, 2025Kingdom Come Week 5Message by Kyle Goen [Riverdale Campus Pastor]

On this episode Justin and Devon talk about Justin's decision to leave the podcast.We started this podcast as The Nashville Dads in 2022 after both having new kids in 2021.  We started doing in person interviews in 2023 and went from 2 dads hanging out, to us learning about dad's stories and sharing them. In 2024 Devon moved to Denver and Justin moved to Murfreesboro and had his second child.  This podcast went from an in person podcast to remote.Back in May of 2025 Justin decided to take a break from recording episodes because the combination of work, being a dad, being a husband and trying to hold it all together left him spread too thin.  We decided we'd check back in August and see what we should do moving forward.  Justin informed me that at this point in time he needs to prioritize his family and job and he doesn't have the mental space to do a podcast anymore.  Also with switching to remote interviews, it feels different compared to meeting up in person to record.I plan to keep this podcast going, keeping the name and the focus on curiosity and giving dads a space to talk about their lives.  I don't plan on finding a new co-host because that wouldn't feel right to me. Dad Walks are still happening in Nashville and our friend Evan is doing a great job finding ways to get dads to connect in the Nashville area. This podcast wouldn't exist without Justin.  We wouldn't have known something like this could be possible when we started it.  We wanted to start this because we wanted dads to know they aren't alone and they're worth listening to.  That has always been the goal of this podcast, and Justin leaving the podcast means now I have to call Justin to get a pep talk to keep on doing the episode instead of you guys hearing him say it in the middle of the episode.Justin.  I have no idea if you ever look at the show notes, because I'm pretty sure you don't listen to any of the episodes because you always hated the sound of your own voice.  Thanks for encouraging me to start this journey of a podcast and encouraging me to keep it going.  Best of luck man. I'll keep your seat warm for ya.Send us a textFollow us on Facebook and Instagram @theimperfectdadspodcast . Look for new episodes of The Imperfect Dads Podcast every Monday.

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Graham Honeycutt, Executive Director of Tucker's House, who highlights the Middle Tennessee-based nonprofit organization and their efforts to provide home modifications for families of children and young adults with disabilities. The organization provides financial assistance, construction management, and functional home modifications, which include making bathrooms accessible, adding adaptive equipment, adding solid flooring, adding ramps and widening entry doors.During the interview, Graham shares some of the history for the organization and how he and his family were introduced to Tucker's House and were blessed by the organization's efforts; and how he now has that same opportunity to help other families, after assuming the role of Executive Director five years ago, after Founder, Sunny Rosanbalm's retirement. Graham describes their process and discusses the importance of pairing licensed therapists with architectural designers who understand inclusive design to ensure that the modifications made to a home will serve the children and families throughout their lifetime and assist them every day. They start with an assessment to create an individualized plan that accounts for a child's current and future needs, considering factors like prognosis and long-term accessibility. The pre-construction phase can take 3-6 months to coordinate all necessary parties, and the process involves details like installing solid flooring, widening doorways, and adding accessibility equipment like stair lifts.Graham discusses bathroom modifications for disabled individuals, including accessible showers, sinks, and towel racks, emphasizing independence and dignity. He explains that these projects involve collaboration with various community partners, and talks about their House to Home video series on their website and YouTube channel, which showcases transformations of selected families' homes. Graham describes some of their current projects, highlighting a ramp installation for a Spanish-speaking family in Murfreesboro and another project in Spring Hill, with filming underway for the next House to Home episode.Graham explains the organization's funding needs, including their "Thrive in 25" campaign to serve 25% more families, and emphasizes the importance of financial contributions and partnerships with construction professionals. Graham shares heartwarming feedback from families about the life-changing transformations their homes undergo, and provides various ways for the community to support their efforts, including visiting tuckershouse.org, watching their award-winning video series, and contacting them via phone or social media.Visit https://tuckershouse.org to learn more and get involved.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Hardison from Murfreesboro, TN. Thank you for standing with us in Project23. You're helping lead people into the Word, one day at a time. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:1-11: Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.'” And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!” And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.  — Mark 11:1-11 If Jesus wanted to signal war, he would've come on a stallion. But he chose a donkey. Why? Because the King had come, but not to conquer Rome. He came to conquer sin. This wasn't weakness. It was fulfillment. Zechariah 9:9 had prophesied it: “Behold, your king is coming… humble and mounted on a donkey.” Everything Jesus did was intentional. A war horse meant judgment. A donkey meant peace. That's the kind of King he is. Powerful enough to destroy, but humble enough to save. The people were shouting “Hosanna!”—but most of them missed what Jesus was really doing. They wanted political rescue. He came for spiritual rescue. Presently, they cheered him in as a hero. Days later, many would cry, “Crucify him.” Why? Because he didn't meet their expectations. He didn't take their side. He took over. But most still want "war horse" Jesus. We want him to charge in and fix our culture, correct our problems, defend our comfort, and affirm our plans. But he comes on a donkey—lowly, interrupting our assumptions and calling us to die to ourselves. He's not interested in sharing the throne of your heart with your politics, your preferences, or your personal agenda. Jesus doesn't just want a place in your life—he demands preeminence over it. So here's the call to action today: Are you cheering Jesus on Sunday but living for yourself by Monday? Are you praising the King with your lips but resisting his rule in your habits, finances, relationships, or priorities? Don't settle for a “safe” Savior who never challenges your comfort. That's not the real Jesus. Submit to the Lord of Lords, and bow to the King of Kings. #HumbleKing, #JesusIsKing, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why is Jesus' choice of a donkey so surprising? What kind of King were the people expecting? Where are you tempted to treat Jesus like a helper, not a ruler? What would it look like to welcome him on his terms? DO THIS: Where am I expecting Jesus to ride in and fix something—when he's actually calling me to surrender something? PRAY THIS: Jesus, you came in humility when I expected force. Forgive me for trying to use you instead of following you. I welcome you as my King. Amen. PLAY THIS: “King of Kings.”

We see the battle between good and evil throughout the Bible and in the world around us. But do angels and demons influence our lives today and if they do, how do they interact with us?Joining Frank on the program this week is Pastor Allen Jackson from World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN. Under his humble yet confident leadership, the church has grown from fewer than 30 people to over 15,000 since 1989. His new book, 'Angels, Demons & You: Unseen Spiritual Influences in Our Lives', provides a biblical perspective on the reality of spiritual forces and how they impact our daily lives. Together, Frank and Allen answer questions like:What happened to Allen's mom that led to his whole family being born again?How did World Outreach Church go from a small Bible study in Allen's parents' home to a megachurch?Is leadership just a secular word?Is Islam compatible with the U.S. Constitution?Why does our American culture seem to dismiss the existence of angels and demons?What was it like studying at a secular school like Vanderbilt University?What roles did angels have in the Bible and what is their role today?Should pastors be "political"?Is there a way to detect the presence of angels and demons acting in our lives?You'll also learn the importance of making disciples instead of people who just sit in pews, and why the greatest inheritance we can leave our family isn't fortune or fame--but living a life that honors God. From his humble beginnings as the son of an equine veterinarian, to a ministry that now reaches and encourages 3,000,000+ people per week around the globe, you'll see why Allen says, "The One we serve is great and we serve at His pleasure!"Resources mentioned during the episode:World Outreach Church - https://wochurch.org/Allen Jack Ministries - https://allenjackson.com/Allen's podcast - https://cultureandchristianity.org/podcast/Angels, Demons, and You - https://bit.ly/3TYYC1SGod Bless America Again - https://bit.ly/3IcTlRL

Think about the last time you dealt with someone you were trying really hard to be professional with. Despite multiple miscommunications on their part — and what was clearly laziness, apathy, and them mailing it in — you kept trying to be the adult. You kept overcompensating for their lack of effort. You kept telling yourself, “Hold yourself to a higher standard.”   But it's still getting you nowhere.   You want to lose it. You want to let them have it. But you hesitate — because everything in leadership and communication says “keep your cool.”   So the question becomes: At what point does that restraint stop helping and start hurting? At what point are you completely justified in going old-school — 1950s dad style — and giving someone a full-on ass-chewing?   What You'll Learn:   •How to recognize when it's time to stop playing nice and start holding the line •A real-world filter to help you decide when to confront someone directly •Why giving someone the business doesn't mean losing your professionalism •How to hit someone with hard truth — without losing your message or your control   Why It Matters:   If you lead, coach, manage, or parent — this will give you a concrete decision-making lens for high-friction moments. You'll stop second-guessing yourself when someone needs to be checked, and you'll know how to do it in a way that's firm, clear, and productive.   Come see us in:

“Is there anything I can do to help?” It's interesting and unique how we've all been asked this question by a spouse, friend, co-worker, or boss—but it never feels like that question leads to you getting actual help. It often feels like answering that question will cause you even more issues.  But, people are asking it with good intentions, so how can we actually seize this moment and get some relief from the overload? We're always told as leaders that we need to delegate, delegate, delegate—so how can we respond to this request without adding to our overwhelm? In today's episode, Brett is going to give us all the answers—and much more—to this age-old question we all somewhat cringe when we hear. Lean in as he covers: The psychology and first principles behind why we often decline help—even when we need it Cognitive overwhelm—how to reduce it, cut through the fog, and get the help you need Practical strategies to truly show up for someone and show you care Default requests you can use to get quick results based on their competence and ability How to respond with honesty that eases the emotional friction you might feel Iron Sharpens Iron You say you want to be the best—then stop avoiding the conversations that actually test you. This isn't another feel-good workshop or conference where you can sit back, take notes, and disappear into the crowd. The Apprenticeship is fully interactive. We throw you into live, role-play scenarios and teach you how to navigate real conflict, difficult personalities, and power dynamics with clarity and control. No fluff. No theory overload. Just gritty, practical reps that expose your blind spots and sharpen your communication under pressure. Everyone could use some help—and if you're part of the audience we focused on in last week's episode, you'll even earn 1.6 CEUs!  Come see us in:

This isn't personal, but it's been a long time coming. This episode is aimed directly at the legacy industries of Art of Coaching, Strength and Conditioning, and let's throw overall fitness in there too. If you work in high performance, physical therapy included, you're included.  We know everyone deals with some version of this, but we're speaking to the world we know best. The message? Most of you say you want to be the best. Most of you say you're “in it for the right reasons.” But you're not. You're full of shit. You've built a self-serving feedback loop—one that props up your ego and avoids any real discomfort. You'll do anything but face your actual weaknesses. You whistle past the graveyard, pretending it's all about the best exercises, protocols, or the next certification.  You could have the greatest program in the history of the world, but if you can't work with the humans executing, it means nothing.  Today's episode will hit each listener differently. Some will take it as a wake-up call. Others will feel like they're getting roasted. And a few of you might even hear it as a love letter—meant for a group of talented people who are in desperate need of a gut check. Turn it up, as Brett pulls no punches covering: The massive divide between what people say they want—and what they actually do CEUs and continuing education: how they keep you feeding the machine Are you really a lifelong learner, or just another body fogging a mirror in the weight room? Why real progress looks more like a boxing gym and less like a resort Let us know what you thought of this episode. Whether you loved it or hated it, we welcome the discourse. Send your feedback to info@artofcoaching.com—we genuinely want to help those in our legacy audience who are ready to get honest and do the work. The Apprenticeship You say you want to be the best—then stop avoiding the conversations that actually test you. This isn't another feel-good workshop or conference that lets you hide in the crowd. At The Apprenticeship, we throw you into live, high-stress role-play scenarios and teach you how to navigate real conflict, difficult personalities, and power dynamics with clarity and control. No fluff. No theory overload. Just gritty, practical reps that expose your blind spots and sharpen your communication under pressure. Because if you can't lead a conversation, you're not leading anything.

Ever feel like you're coaching on repeat?  You've handed a client every tool they need, yet they keep circling back with the same issue.  Or maybe you're working with an athlete who hears everything you say, but nothing seems to land. It's as if they're outsourcing ownership of the entire process. It can start to feel like a rehearsed dance. You say your part, they nod along, and both of you move forward on autopilot. But this doesn't have to be just frustrating—it can be an inflection point for us.  In today's episode, Brett breaks down how to navigate this all-too-common dynamic and use it as a way to better understand what we bring to the table. Because when we hone in on and embrace our unique intangibles—those strong qualities that might even turn some people off—we create opportunities to lead more effectively, grow our business, and stand out in a noisy, boring world where everyone just wants to fit in. In this episode, we cover: No matter what they say, clients come back for more than just results Questions to ask a non-responsive client to encourage ownership—without assigning blame How to get feedback and gain insight into what sets you apart (hint: it's not your experience or certifications) Determine if there's a “psychological nutrient” you're providing—or withholding Bonus: An excerpt from Brett's Observed Absurdity file about department stores, including some hilarious, can't-miss euphemisms and analogies The Apprenticeship If you're tired of struggling through hard conversations or avoiding them altogether, this is your chance to train for them. We'll put you in realistic role-play scenarios and teach you the frameworks that help you navigate conflict, power dynamics, and tough personalities. No fluff. No gurus. Just pressure-tested strategies you can actually use—because the best coaching skills don't perish. Everyone has a coach in their life, and the ability to communicate clearly under pressure pays off in every area—not just work.

Coaching youth sports can be one of the most rewarding things you can do, whether you're a parent, a former athlete, or someone who just wants to make a difference. It's an incredible opportunity to connect with people in a way that can genuinely shape who they become. Youth sports span the full range—from high-priced, high-stakes travel leagues to your local rec department. From paid coaches with professional experience, to the dad who just answered the 7,000th email asking for help. You won't find a show that cares more about coaches than this one, so this isn't one of those episodes that's here to bash the people who've stepped up when no one else would. What this episode will be is a look from multiple angles, through the lens of someone who's coached at a high level and is now a parent on the sidelines.  What does real coaching actually look like? What should a good practice feel like? And how do we make sure we're giving kids our best—not just for them, but for the people who care the most and invest the most in their development: their parents. In this episode, we dig into those questions and more, including: A no-nonsense breakdown of what good coaching actually looks like—and what it absolutely isn't Quick-hit checklist to help overworked coaches stay focused and run practices with fewer vague corrections, clearer demonstrations, and a whole lot more fun Common habits that hijack practice—like overtalking and underengaging—and what to do instead A simple, realistic framework for structuring practice time so the most important lessons actually stick Creative ways to split the room or field into stations that maximize engagement for every kid, no matter their skill level
