LEITURA BÍBLICA DO DIA: 2 TIMÓTEO 4:1-8 PLANO DE LEITURA ANUAL: 2 CRÔNICAS 34–36; JOÃO 19:1-22  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  O pastor John Harper garantiu um lugar para sua filha de 6 anos em um dos poucos botes salva-vidas quando o Titanic atingiu um iceberg em abril de 1912. A seguir, deu seu colete a outra pessoa e compartilhou o evangelho com todos que aceitaram ouvi-lo. Enquanto o navio afundava e centenas aguar davam um resgate improvável, Harper nadava entre os náufragos dizendo: “Creia no Senhor Jesus e você será salvo” (ATOS 16:31 NAA). Entre os sobreviventes do Titanic, um homem referiu-se a si mesmo como “o último convertido de Harper”. Ele tinha rejeitado o primeiro convite, mas creu em Cristo quando o pastor lhe pediu novamente. Ele viu Harper dedicar seus últimos momentos de vida compartilhando as boas-novas de Jesus antes de sucumbir à hipotermia e afundar na água gelada. O apóstolo Paulo instrui Timóteo e o encoraja a ter a mesma urgência e dedicação ao compartilhar o evangelho. Assegurando-o da presença constante de Deus e do retorno inevitável de Jesus, ele incumbe Timóteo a pregar “com paciência e bom ensino” (2 TIMÓTEO 4:1-2). Relembra o jovem a manter-se sóbrio, embora alguns viessem a rejeitar Jesus (vv.3-5). Nossos dias são limitados, portanto cada momento conta. Podemos estar seguros de que nosso Pai preparou nosso lugar no Céu quando proclamamos: “Jesus salva”!  Por: XOCHITL DIXON  

Finding Love & Yourself in Your 50s with Marchetta Daniels Season 2, Episode 3 | That Part by 45 Lemons We asked the Black women in our lives a simple question: If you could talk about anything on a podcast, what would it be? Marchetta Daniels chose love, reinvention, and finding yourself after 50. What unfolds is a conversation about far more than romance. Verta, Naa, and Marchetta explore aging, identity, confidence, second chapters, and what happens when you stop living by timelines that were never really yours. Together, they unpack the stories society tells women, especially Black women, about desirability, visibility, and what is supposedly “too late.” They talk about self-trust, joy, purpose, softer love, and the freedom that can come with knowing yourself more deeply. Because after 50 is not simply about starting over. Sometimes it is about arriving. Arriving at clearer boundaries, fuller self-knowledge, and the reminder that becoming does not have an expiration date.

Insurance costs are rising faster than almost any other expense in rental housing — and the impact is reshaping operations, underwriting and long‑term strategy. In this episode, National Apartment Association Manager of Industry Research Eri Bajomo breaks down the data behind today's multifamily insurance cost acceleration and what it means for owners, operators and investors.Drawing from her recent analysis for NAA, Bajomo explains why premiums are climbing nationwide, how reinsurance markets are driving volatility and which regions are experiencing the sharpest increases. We also explore how rising insurance costs affect budgeting, deal feasibility, risk management and property performance across the multifamily housing sector.If you work in real estate, property management, asset management or multifamily investment — or you simply want to understand one of the industry's most disruptive trends — this conversation offers clear, actionable insight into the forces reshaping insurance in 2025 and beyond.For more on NAA's Research offerings, visit https://naahq.org/research Please note that as is the case for all The NAA Apartmentcast episodes, nothing contained within this podcast should be treated as legal advice.

Coming Home to Yourself After Grief and Loss with Darnese Daniels Season 2 of That Part continues with another question answered by the Black women in our lives: If you could talk about anything on a podcast, what would it be? This episode is Darnese's answer. Darnese Daniels joins us for a conversation about grief, not just the moment of loss, but what comes after. The part no one really prepares you for. The quiet. The identity shift. The version of you that no longer exists and the one still taking shape. Verta and Naa sit with what it means to come home to yourself after grief and loss. They explore how grief changes the way you move, love, and see the world, and how, for many Black women, that process happens while everything else keeps going. From the pressure to keep holding it all together to the unspoken ways grief reshapes your sense of self, this conversation moves through loss, truth, and the slow work of becoming. Because grief does not just take something from you. It tells the truth about you. And coming home to yourself is not about going back. It is about claiming who you are now. Season 2 continues to bring new voices into the room while staying rooted in what That Part has always been. Real conversation. Cultural truth. And the things we don't always say out loud.

Devocional do dia 05/05/2026 com o Tema: Acusações Você já assistiu a um julgamento na hora em que são feitas as acusações contra o réu? Geralmente, é um momento muito tenso, pois, a partir disso, iniciam-se as argumentações a favor e contra o acusado. Provas são apresentadas, embates acontecem. Leitura Bíblica: Oseias 4.1-3 Meus filhinhos, escrevo-lhes estas coisas para que vocês não pequem. Mas, se alguém pecar, temos advogado junto ao Pai, Jesus Cristo, o Justo (1Jo 2.1, NAA).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Realigning with Self After Motherhood with Jihan J Season 2 of That Part begins with a simple but powerful shift. We asked Black women in our lives one question: If you could talk about anything on a podcast, what would it be? This episode is the first answer. Jihan returns and brings us into a conversation about realigning with self after motherhood. Not as a dramatic reinvention, but as an ongoing reckoning with identity, change, and what it means to come back to yourself after becoming everything to someone else. Verta and Naa explore the tension between devotion and disappearance, the unspoken expectations placed on Black women, and what it looks like to find yourself again after years of holding it all. From the emotional weight of being needed to the subtle ways we drift from ourselves over time, this conversation moves between the personal and the professional with honesty and care. Because motherhood changes you. But it should not erase you. Realignment is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you have always been and who you are becoming. Season 2 brings new voices into the room while staying rooted in what That Part has always been. Real conversation. Cultural truth. And the things we don't always say out loud.

At a time when housing affordability debates are often driven more by perception than data, taking a closer look at what's actually behind a rent payment matters more than ever. The National Apartment Association's Dollar of Rent tool provides a clear, data-driven view of the expenses tied to operating a multifamily property, drawing on tens of thousands of audited, property-level financial statements.In this episode of NAA Insights, host Laura Valean, senior editor at Multi-Housing News, sits down with Leah Cuffy, director of advocacy research at NAA, to explore how the tool can be used in practice.

On this episode of the NAA Apartmentcast, we're joined by Leah Cuffy, NAA's Director of Advocacy Research, for a deep dive into the economics behind the Dollar of Rent—NAA's data‑driven tool that breaks down exactly where each rent dollar goes and why it matters.Cuffy reveals how that dollar is stretched across operating costs, taxes, maintenance, payroll, insurance and more — painting a clear picture of what it truly takes to provide rental housing today.We dig into the pressures shaping the industry, the misconceptions that fuel policy debates and why understanding the cost structure of rental housing is essential for meaningful conversations with lawmakers.For more on the Dollar of Rent Tool, visit Dollar of Rent Tool | National Apartment Association.

In this episode of the Appraisal Update Podcast, I sit down with Malinda Griffin, President of the National Association of Appraisers, to talk about why getting involved in your professional association matters more than ever.We discuss the benefits of engagement, how appraisers can strengthen their voice in the profession, and why you won't want to miss the upcoming Appraiser's Conference & Trade Show (ACTS) in Seattle.From valuable education and industry updates to networking and a lot of fun along the way, ACTS is one of the best opportunities for appraisers to connect, learn, and grow.

Procrastination Is Protecting Something   This episode is for anyone who has ever called themselves lazy while quietly carrying too much. In Episode 8, Verta and Naa reframe procrastination not as a character flaw, but as emotional data. Sometimes we delay because we don't care. Sometimes we delay because we care too much. And sometimes what looks like avoidance is exhaustion, misalignment, fear of being seen, or perfectionism dressed up as productivity. They unpack the shame spiral — the “shoulds,” the urgency culture, the hustle trauma — and explore how delay can function as protection: from visibility, rejection, burnout, or making the wrong decision. But they also name the turning point — when protection becomes pattern, and pattern becomes self-betrayal. Instead of productivity hacks, they offer better questions: Is this delay protecting my alignment — or my fear? If I don't do this, what will it cost me? Because avoidance can feel like safety in the moment. But over time, it becomes self-betrayal. From unfinished conversations sitting heavy in the body to ideas that feel too close to the heart to release, this episode moves beyond productivity and into deeper self-exploration — inviting intentional choices that shape our relationships, creativity, and healing.

Devocional do dia 10/02/2026 com o Tema: Mas... Jesus, predizendo sua morte e ressurreição, contou a seus discípulos que seria entregue aos gentios. Quem o entregaria? Os líderes religiosos, indignados porque ele se declarou o Messias, questionou a autoridade espiritual deles e expôs sua religiosidade hipócrita; e o povo, frustrado por ele não ser o libertador político que achava que era. Leitura Bíblica: Lucas 18.31-34 Depois de açoitá-lo, eles o matarão, mas, ao terceiro dia, ressuscitará (Lc 18.33, NAA).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Things We Don't Say Out Loud This episode is for anyone who has learned to read the room before speaking, who knows the truth before it is ever named, and who has carried wisdom quietly to survive. In Episode 7, Verta and Naa explore the power and cost of silence. From workplaces where “professionalism” replaces honesty, to families and communities where certain truths are never spoken, they unpack how silence can function as strategy, safety, resistance, and harm. They reflect on the unspoken knowledge Black women carry, the emotional labor of discernment, and what happens when silence becomes the culture instead of the choice. From being performance reviewed out instead of given real feedback, to ghosting ourselves in order to belong, this episode examines how unaddressed truths shape our bodies, our leadership, and our relationships. They also ask what it looks like to speak with intention rather than fear. To choose silence when it protects us, and to speak when truth is required for healing and accountability. Because not everything sacred has to be said. But some things need air to breathe.

This special edition episode of the NAA Apartmentcast features guest hosts Scott Wilkerson, Chief Investment Officer and Chair of the Investment Committee for Ginkgo Residential, and Chris Carter, Regional Vice President for Carter-Haston, both members of NAA's Operations Committee. They are joined by Brad Dockser, CEO and Co-Founder of GreenGen for an intriguing conversation focused on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), which itself sits at a really interesting crossroads in rental housing: Touching asset management, finance, operations, climate strategy, resident experience, and the future of real estate. There is a case to be made that ESG isn't a cost center for rental housing providers, it's a competitive advantage and a driver of value. Housing providers that integrate ESG into their operations can unlock new revenue opportunities, future-proof their assets and deliver better outcomes for residents and investors. For more information and resources on ESG, sustainability, asset management and NAA's Operations Committee, visit https://naahq.org/Please note that as is the case for all NAA Apartmentcast episodes, nothing contained within this podcast should be treated as legal advice.

Joy Is a KPI This episode is for anyone who knows something is off when the work gets done but the joy is gone. In Episode 6, Verta and Naa make the case for joy as a real metric, not a soft add-on or a vibes-only bonus. They unpack why joy has been squeezed out of so many workplaces and lives, and what it costs us when productivity is the only acceptable emotion. From the difference between happiness and joy, to who actually gets permission to be joyful, they explore how creativity, laughter, and delight are not distractions but essential indicators of wellness. At work and beyond. They also talk honestly about burnout, overfunctioning, and what it takes to build lives where joy is part of the infrastructure, not the reward at the end. Because you can't track joy in Jira. But you can always feel when it's gone.

There are more than 40 million apartments in the United States, of which half are owned and operated by small portfolios, otherwise known as independent rental owners (IRO). On this episode of the NAA Apartmentcast, we're joined by Demetrio Jiminez, President and Owner of Tropicana Properties in El Paso, Texas, and 2026 Chair of the NAA Affordable Housing Committee; and Megan Orser, CEO and Business Strategist for Smart Apartment Solutions and Smart Moves in Howell, Michigan, as well as the 2024 Chair of NAA's Independent Rental Owners Committee, to dive deep into the real stories behind the rental housing market and discussing something that affects millions of Americans: Affordable housing. But we're not just talking policy or theory. We're talking to the people who are in the trenches: IROs, rental owners, small-scale investors and property managers who are shaping the future of housing, one unit at a time. Is affordability a moral obligation, a market failure, or a business opportunity?

Pick Up the Phone: Relearning Connection at Work (and Beyond) This one's for anyone tired of being left on read—in the group chat, in the meeting, or in real life. In Episode 5, Verta and Naa explore how “not my problem” energy became the norm and what it's costing us. From unread emails to sitting next to someone who won't name the issue they have with you, they unpack how burnout, fear, and digital convenience have quietly made us worse teammates—and sometimes worse humans. They also ask: What would it look like to bring care back to work, not as a performance, but as a practice? Their answer lives in third spaces, intergenerational grace, and the ten seconds of courage it takes to simply check in. Because liberation isn't about doing everything alone. It's about building systems that remind us we never had to. Learn more about Naa & Verta here: Email: thatpart@45Lemons.com  Website: www.45lemons.com/thatpart Instagram: @fortyfivelemons

Liberation Is a Strategy In Episode 4, Verta and Naa unpack what liberation looks like when it is not just a dream or a destination, but a strategy. A lived practice. A choice. From global shifts in leadership to the quiet decisions in your daily calendar, this conversation traces the ways Black women around the world are modeling new ways of living, working, and leading. They explore liberation as rest, rhythm, refusal, and redesign. From saying no without guilt to trusting ease as strategic, this episode is about softening the grind and reclaiming the moments that make life feel more whole. Verta and Naa reflect on their own practices of liberation, from travel and rest to family legacies, and offer questions for you to consider as you design your own freedom. Whether you are working, resting, caregiving, or creating something new, this episode is a reminder that you do not have to wait for permission. Liberation is not just a vibe. It is a viable way to move through the world. And it starts with how you live your life, right now.

Black Women Been Told Y'all: The Canaries in the Coal Mine Guest: Jihan Johnston-McGlotten: Strategist, Researcher, Cultural Technologist, and Mother In this episode, Verta and Naa sit down with the brilliant Jihan Johnston-McGlotten, a Black woman navigating nine months of unemployment after a layoff. Together, they unpack what it means to be pushed out of the workforce while still holding on to creativity, clarity, and community. They explore the deeper truths behind layoffs, the pressure to produce, and the silence that often follows when Black women speak up. From systems that gaslight to the gut instincts that guide us, this is an honest conversation about being the early warning signal — and the brilliance that comes when we choose ourselves anyway.

This Job Is Not Your Whole Story In this episode of That Part, Verta and Naa unpack the ways work can swallow our sense of self — especially for Black women. They talk about detaching worth from output, grieving professional betrayal, and reclaiming identity beyond our job titles. From stats to side-eyes, from layoffs to liberation, this episode reminds us that rest is not quitting and your story is bigger than your resume.

Welcome to That Part In this first full episode, Verta and Naa introduce That Part — a podcast rooted in truth-telling, tenderness, and cultural clarity. They share how they met, why they launched 45 Lemons, and what inspired the name That Part. You'll hear a mini version of every segment, from What We're Holding to The Fix — including a personal moment where Naa shares some thangs and Verta responds with care, candor, and (let's be honest) likely some hilarity. This episode is a welcome mat, a mic drop, and an invitation.
Come through! Together on That Part Verta and Naa are your guides through the mess and the magic of being—at work, in the world, and within ourselves. Come for the cultural clarity. Stay for the cackles, the community, and the truth that just might set you free. Why the Name That Part? In today's culture — especially in Black communities and online spaces — that part is what people say when someone speaks a truth that hits deep. Instead of saying yes, exactly or I feel that, we say: That part. Imagine someone says: I'm tired of jobs saying we're a family — but cutting people without warning. And someone else replies: That part. It's like saying: That's the truth that needed to be said — and I feel it. It's the moment in a conversation when someone names what everyone else was thinking. It's a head nod. A pause. A shared knowing. You might hear it in a meeting, a group chat, a meme, or at the dinner table.  We chose this name because we're not here to sugarcoat or skip the real stuff. We're here to say what's true — not just what's trending. The hard parts. The holy parts. The parts we whisper about after the meeting or talk about off the record. This podcast is where we speak from the gut and name what needs naming. Because that part is where the real conversation lives — where the shift begins Email: thatpart@45Lemons.com  Website: www.45lemons.com/thatpart Instagram: @fortyfivelemons

Forget everything you thought you knew about SEO.The game has changed—and it's called AEO: Answer Engine Optimization.In this episode of the Multi-PM Collective, I break down something I spotted at NAA's Apartmentalize Conference that's about to reshape Multifamily marketing. AEO isn't just a new acronym—it's a new mindset. One where AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Anthropic are replacing traditional search.Prospects aren't Googling “apartments in Atlanta” anymore.They're asking for one inside an AI.And the smart players? They're optimizing their content—every property page, every piece of metadata, every image schema—to show up as the answer in that prompt.The kicker? You don't need to pay overpriced ILSs to win this game.You just need the right strategy and a website that's built for the prompt-driven future.I'm not knocking the ILS model. I'm just saying the future belongs to those who don't have to rely on it.
