In this week's episode of Insurance Town, I had the privilege of sitting down with my good friend Kelly Smith.Kelly is one of those people who has truly lived the insurance industry from every angle. She grew up in a family agency, spent time at the front desk, worked in personal lines, commercial lines, agency operations, underwriting, carrier sales, and now helps independent agencies grow through her work with FirstChoice.What I loved about this conversation is that Kelly's story is not just about insurance. It is about curiosity, hard work, education, family, leadership, and finding your place in an industry that can open a lot of doors if you are willing to keep learning.We talked about what it was like growing up in an independent agency, hiding under desks, messing with paper files, and learning the business from the inside out. Kelly shared how that agency background gave her a completely different perspective when she moved to the carrier side. She understood the urgency agents feel because she had sat in that seat herself.We also talked about her passion for education. Kelly shared a powerful story about being homeschooled, feeling behind academically when she started college, and how that experience fueled her desire to keep learning. Since then, she has earned multiple designations, completed her CPCU, and recently finished her MBA in insurance. The best insurance professionals don't just master one job. They learn the entire ecosystem. Kelly's career took her from an independent agency to the carrier side and now to helping agencies grow through a network. Each step gave her a new perspective that made her more valuable. Whether it's earning a designation, volunteering with an association, mentoring others, or simply staying curious, investing in your education compounds over time. Your next opportunity often comes from something you're willing to learn today. One of my favorite parts of the episode was our conversation about the next generation. Kelly's daughter recently attended risk management camp at App State, and we talked about how important it is to show young people that this industry is bigger than home and auto insurance. There are opportunities in sales, underwriting, claims, marketing, leadership, technology, agency ownership, and so much more.Kelly also shared what it means to be recognized as one of Insurance Business America's Rising Stars. Her humility really came through in this part of the conversation. She talked about being grateful for the opportunities she has had, but also wanting her story to encourage others, especially women and young professionals, to see what is possible in this business.00:00 Welcome 02:35 Born Into Insurance 06:00 Agency vs. Carrier: Seeing Both Sides 09:10 Can We Attract the Next Generation? 12:20 From Homeschool to MBA 17:45 Why Education Creates Opportunity 23:45 Leadership Through Service 26:00 Becoming an Insurance Rising Star 30:15 Helping Independent Agencies Grow 31:45 The Truth About Insurance Networks 35:45 Connect with Kelly 36:50 Sponsors & ClosingIf you're looking for one of the most innovative events in the insurance industry, check out Insurance Fest, hosted by Insurance Business America.

What was the Acts 2 church meant to be? And how far have we drifted from it? Continuing the Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything podcast, Lisa Whittle tackles a topic her own audience asked her to address: cliques, popularity dynamics, and comfortable social circles that quietly take root in the very place designed to be their opposite. Drawing on real messages from listeners, teachings from top theologians, and a challenge rooted in Matthew 28, Lisa makes the case that playing church – surrounding ourselves with people who look, act, and think just like us – is more than a social problem. It's a spiritual one. This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt the gap between what the church is supposed to be and what it sometimes is, and wants to close it. Listen in to learn more: Why Lisa almost didn't make this episode and what changed her mind The listener's message about cliques in women's ministry that started it all What the Acts 2 church was actually designed to be (and what it was never meant to be) How our social patterns have replaced the mission of the church Why cliques have no place in a community called to unity The connection between comfortable Christianity and a lazy faith What is really at risk when we miss the person sitting alone A hard question: Are we living for Jesus or for popularity and comfort?

Episode OverviewIn this Casting Angles episode of The Articulate Fly, Master Casting Instructor Mac Brown of Mac Brown Fly Fish joins host Marvin Cash for a focused deep-dive into the reach mend — one of fly fishing's most foundational presentation tools, and one Mac argues has been quietly undervalued since Doug Swisher introduced it to American fly fishing in 1971. The conversation serves as both a how-to for beginners and a useful recalibration for intermediate anglers who have been fishing without it.Mac traces the technique to Swisher's landmark book Selective Trout, which he first read at age eight from his grandfather's copy and considers among the most significant contributions to the sport in the last hundred years. He breaks the reach mend down from first principles, distinguishing it clearly from the more complex reach cast: after the casting stroke is complete and the line is still in the air, the angler simply reaches the rod tip to the side, positioning the fly line upstream or downstream of the fly — a movement accessible to complete beginners that can transform a fleeting drift into a long, uninterrupted float with the fly line entirely out of the fish's window.Mac covers the reach mend across multiple real-world scenarios: cross-current presentations through mixed seams, straight upstream casts where the line would otherwise land across holding fish, and long downstream drifts on technical tailwaters. The episode also covers slipping line during a reach mend to extend presentation distance, and the drag-and-drop technique — casting well upstream and beyond a riser, lifting the rod tip to position the fly laterally, then tracking the rod downstream to drop the fly cleanly into the feeding lane. Marvin adds an important tactical counterpoint: a downstream mend can also be used to intentionally accelerate a streamer across a seam to trigger a reaction strike.Key TakeawaysHow a post-cast reach mend positions your fly line upstream and away from rising trout, turning a brief drift into a long, drag-free float that beginners can execute immediately after learning the conceptWhy the reach mend is fundamentally different from the reach cast — and why mastering the mend first removes the biggest barrier to consistent presentation for anglers at any levelWhen to slip line during a reach mend to extend presentation distance, without sacrificing accuracy or drag controlHow to execute the drag-and-drop technique — casting upstream and beyond a riser, lifting into position, then tracking the rod downstream — to drop a fly into a feeding lane without lining the fish or precision accuracyWhy a downstream mend can intentionally induce drag to accelerate a streamer across a current seam when you want to trigger a reaction strike rather than a drag-free driftTechniques & Gear CoveredThe episode is devoted entirely to the reach mend and its related techniques, with Mac Brown providing a conceptual framework grounded in Swisher's Selective Trout and decades of guide school instruction. The core technique is the post-cast reach mend: after stopping the cast, and while the line is still unrolling, the angler reaches the rod tip to the upstream side to buy a drag-free window of time before the current grabs the fly line. This applies across presentation types — cross-stream casts through mixed currents, straight upstream casts where the line would otherwise fall on the fish, and long downstream presentations where only the fly should appear in the fish's window. Mac also covers the drag-and-drop approach, in which the angler lifts the fly line into position from an upstream-and-beyond cast, then tracks the rod downstream to lower the fly softly into the target lane without a direct presentation over the fish. Slipping line during the mend is discussed as a tool to extend reach. Marvin adds that the downstream mend inverts this logic for streamer fishing, using intentional drag to accelerate the fly across seams and trigger reaction strikes.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhat is a reach mend and how does it differ from a reach cast?A reach mend is a post-cast rod movement: after the casting stroke stops and the line is still unrolling in the air, the angler reaches the rod tip to the side — upstream or downstream — to position the fly line away from the target zone. The result is that only the fly (and not the line) enters the fish's window. In the case of an upstream reach mend, this technique also buys several seconds of drag-free drift before current tension catches up. A reach cast, by contrast, incorporates that lateral rod movement during the casting stroke itself, making it significantly more complex. Mac recommends learning the reach mend first because anyone — including complete beginners — can execute it immediately, and it delivers most of the same drag-control benefits.How do you execute a reach mend when fishing across mixed currents?In a cross-stream scenario with fast water between you and a slower holding lie, reach the rod tip upstream immediately after the cast stops — before the faster current grabs the fly line and creates drag. This buys enough time for the fly to drift naturally through the slow water without the line bellying downstream and pulling the fly across current.What is the drag-and-drop technique and when does it help for rising trout?The drag-and-drop lets you place a fly in a precise feeding lane without casting directly over the fish or precisely on target. You cast upstream and beyond the target, lift the fly line into lateral position, then track the rod downstream to lower the fly smoothly into the lane — all without the line or fly landing on top of the fish. This is especially useful during Sulphur and BWO hatches on tailwaters like the Watauga and South Holston, where fish are locked into tight feeding lanes and a fly dropped directly on the snout or with line overhead typically produces refusals or spooks. Mac notes that even a beginner can execute this with basic skills, and that you don't need the precision of an elite competition caster to make this technique work consistently.How does slipping line change the outcome of a reach mend?When you pinch the line during a reach mend, the fly lands closer than the initial cast would have carried it. When you slip line — releasing extra line during the mend — the fly travels further from you, extending presentation distance. Mac describes slipping line as the right tool when the holding lie or rising fish is farther out, allowing you to cover more water with the same mend without sacrificing drift quality.When should you mend downstream to induce drag rather than upstream to prevent it?A downstream mend is the right choice when you want to accelerate the fly, not slow it. Marvin notes that when fishing streamers across a current seam — particularly when you want the fly to zip past a rock, undercut bank, or holding spot — mending downstream puts intentional drag on the line, pulling the fly faster across the seam and triggering a reaction strike. This is the same basic principle as the upstream mend, just applied in reverse: instead of buying drift time, you're borrowing speed from the current.Related ContentS7, Ep 60 - Mastering the Drift: Technical Trout Tactics for Summer Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 93 - Terrestrials, Drift and Teaching the Next Generation with Mac BrownS7, Ep 20 - Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS7, Ep 16 - Simplifying Complexity: Effective Teaching Strategies in Fly Fishing with Mac BrownS8, Ep 21 - Casting into Spring: Mac Brown Discusses Wild Trout Fishing and Upcoming ClassesConnect with Our GuestFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our

You've got to run the numbers, and you've got to do the business case.”[15:18] Leah Wolf: "I would go into work every day thinking I've seen it all. And then, I'd go to work the next day, and something else that I'd never even dreamed would've happened would've happened. "[24:47] Leah Wolf: "Everything you just mentioned, I've done manually, and it's very difficult, and sometimes you can't get all the answers, and maybe until it's too late. But with AI, it's going to change all that. It's just gonna be amazing."Follow the Auto Supply Chain Champions Podcast for real conversations with leaders who are making hard choices, focusing their bets, and leading with intent.

In this sermon, we will see three keys to passing the faith to the next generation.
Many people wonder if they're making a lasting impact on the people they love. In a world full of distractions, it's easy to assume someone else will teach the next generation what really matters. But Scripture paints a different picture.Drawing from Psalm 145 and Deuteronomy 6, this message explores how faith is passed from one generation to the next—not through perfection, but through intentional conversations, everyday moments, and a life that points to Jesus. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, or simply someone who wants your life to matter, this message offers a hopeful vision for building a legacy that lasts.
In this Father's Day message, Pastor Mike Berry shares practical wisdom for parents, grandparents, mentors, and anyone who wants to impact the next generation. From creating a peaceful home and showing up consistently to leading with humility, forgiveness, and spiritual purpose, this message reminds us that it's never too late to grow, lead, and build a family foundation centered on Jesus.
As chips speed up and get more capable, they must also fetch more data and get it faster. Most of the time, that means going off-chip to some external memory module. It slows things down and uses energy. One alternative is to “embed” some memory right alongside the logic circuits on the chip: Embedded memories. For years, two types of embedded memories dominated. But things are changing. In today's video, we take a look at those, plus some of the next-generation memories coming down the pike.

"RAISING KINGDOM WORKERS: INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP" Week 3 of "Faith to the Next Generation: Passing the Torch" (Father's Day) Ephesians 6:1-4; Psalm 78:4-8 You want to raise kids who love God. Not just kids who go to church or believe the right things, but kids who actually follow Jesus. Kids who serve Him. Kids whose lives point to God. But how do you actually DO that? In the first two weeks of "Faith to the Next Generation," we explored the foundation: You have to love God with all your heart, and your kids have to choose faith for themselves. But this week, Matthew tackles the practical part: How do you intentionally disciple your children? Drawing from Ephesians 6:4, where Paul specifically addresses fathers about bringing their children up "in the discipline and instruction of the Lord," this sermon explores: - What it actually means to disciple your kids (hint: it's more than Sunday school) - Five practices for intentional faith-passing: Model it, Teach it, Correct it (with love), Invite them into it, Stay consistent - Why kids "catch" faith more than they're taught it - What fathers specifically model for their sons and daughters - Why being faithful matters way more than being perfect - How it's never too late to start being intentional about discipleship This is a sermon for parents trying their best—whether you're raising young children, guiding teenagers, or wondering if you've already messed it up. Matthew acknowledges the real struggle of passing faith while also offering practical, hope-filled direction. Special emphasis on fathers and their unique role in spiritual formation, but the content applies to all parents and grandparents invested in the next generation. If you're wrestling with how to raise kids who actually follow Jesus, this sermon is for you. Listen in.

Chris Mauro is a surfer, journalist, editor, storyteller, and one of surfing's most respected voices. I've known of Chris for nearly 40 years because he's always seemed to be right in the middle of surfing's story; documenting it, sharing it, and helping preserve it for future generations. Raised in South Laguna Beach, Chris grew up as a beach kid. Once he found surfing, he immersed himself in it and eventually found himself traveling the world alongside many of the sport's greatest athletes, innovators, and personalities. What started as a passion for surfing evolved into a professional career as a pro surfer, industry guy, journalist, commentator and a remarkable career behind the scenes telling the stories that matter. Many know Chris from his years at SURFER Magazine, where he served as editor during a defining era for the sport. Through his connections, his writing, interviews, and editorial leadership, he helped capture the people, places, and moments that shaped modern surfing. More than anything, Chris has a genuine curiosity about people and their path. Whether as a writer, interviewer, podcaster, or historian, he has a rare ability to connect with others and uncover the stories beneath the surface. In this conversation, we talk about his journey through surfing, media, travel, and storytelling, along with the lessons learned from a lifetime spent around the people who have shaped the culture he has been in the middle of for most of his life. It's a great conversation with a guy who has seen, documented and helped share a big part of surfing's history.. and its allure. 0:00 – “Introducing Chris Mauro & His Journey” 3:20 – Early Influences & Finding His Passion 8:15 – Building a Career Through Persistence 14:05 – Key Turning Points & Lessons Learned 20:10 – Challenges, Setbacks & Growth Opportunities 26:30 – Developing Skills & Staying Consistent 32:45 – Mindset, Discipline & Long-Term Success 39:00 – Navigating Pressure & High-Stakes Decisions 45:20 – Leadership, Mentorship & Giving Back 51:35 – Advice for the Next Generation 57:50 – What's Next & Future Goals 1:04:15 – Final Reflections & Closing Thoughts

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dru Johnson sits down with theologians Daniel Bannoura and Bruce Fisk, contributors to Being Christian After the Desolation of Gaza, to explore the Israel-Palestine conflict through the lens of Palestinian Christian experience. Drawing on history, theology, and personal experience, Bannoura and Fisk argue that the crisis in Gaza cannot be understood apart from the broader history of Zionism, Palestinian displacement, and the ongoing struggle for justice and human dignity in the region. The discussion examines the relationship between Christianity, Christian Zionism, and modern Israeli politics, while also addressing questions of antisemitism, Palestinian identity, settler violence, military occupation, and competing historical narratives. Dru pushes back on several claims, creating a thoughtful exchange that highlights both areas of agreement and disagreement. The episode also explores how biblical interpretation shapes political views, why many Western Christians know little about Palestinian Christians, and how younger generations are rethinking the Israel-Palestine debate. Throughout the conversation, the guests challenge listeners to consider what Christian faithfulness, neighbor love, and justice look like in the aftermath of Gaza's devastation. This is the first installment of a deeper discussion on theology, politics, Israel, Palestine, Gaza, and the future of Christian engagement with one of the world's most contested conflicts.

Continuing our Summer Reset series on the Jesus Over Everything show, this conversation between Lisa Whittle and renowned researcher and author Dr. George Barna focuses on a foundational question: What does it mean to have a biblical worldview, and what's at stake if we fail to pass one on to the next generation? The data Dr. George Barna brings to this episode is the kind that should wake every believer up. A biblical worldview isn't formed by accident: it's built in homes, modeled in churches, and lived out in the daily rhythms of faithful adults. The next generation is watching. The question is: what are they seeing? Listen in to learn more: (00:24) Dr. Barna gets honest about nerves, aging, and why he still says yes to interviews (04:24) Why millions of Christ followers have walked away from Sunday mornings (08:04) How a 40-year researcher processes hope and despair in the data (13:54) Only 4% of American adults and just 1% of teens have a biblical worldview (14:36) Why a child's worldview is substantially formed by age 13 (16:42) Barna's simple definition of a biblical worldview (20:58) Is skipping church a sign of lost faith, or just doing faith differently?

Episode Summary: Revival is not enough to heal this civilizational moment.Many Christians long for spiritual renewal, but what happens after revival? How do transformed hearts lead to transformed families, institutions, communities, and nations?In this episode, Naomi Smith joins us to discuss her new book, Occupy Till I Come, co-authored with Darrow Miller. Together, they explore why understanding our cultural moment is only the beginning. Diagnosing our culture's problems is relatively easy; cultivating renewal is where the real work begins. The Church must recover a biblical vision for cultural engagement, break the sacred-secular divide, and learn how to faithfully steward every area of life for God's kingdom.Join us as we discuss worldview, discipleship, cultural renewal, the Church's role in society, hospitality, family, vocation, and what it means to "occupy till He comes" in a rapidly changing world. If you've ever wondered how your faith connects to your work, community, and culture, this conversation offers both a challenge and a roadmap.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)?

America Out Loud PULSE with Dr. Angelina Farella – America's founding was not casual. It was rooted in hard-won ideas about liberty, natural rights, and the dignity of the individual. Those ideas still matter. They matter when we read the Declaration of Independence. They matter when we remember the women and men who built this country, defended it, and kept faith with it through hardship...

TJ opens up about growing up in a broken home, living on the streets at 13, and how God used the outdoors to shape his faith and calling. Together, Terry and TJ unpack the epidemic of fatherlessness sweeping our nation, why so many men raise their hand for Jesus but never get in the fight, and how a simple Saturday in the woods with a fatherless boy can change the trajectory of a family for generations. If you've been waiting for a sign to roll up your sleeves and invest in the next generation — this is it. Find out more at kidsoutdoorzone.com.Main Quote:"I don't want our men in the church to raise their hand and say, 'Yes, I'm for Jesus,' and then come to the end of their life realizing they just rang the bell. They never got in the fight. They never got to the front lines."
