Mark Zandi calls tariffs “baffling, disconcerting, and hard to fathom.” He says it's unclear what we're trying to achieve, saying that tariffs won't fix the trade deficit, only lower economic activity. The odds of a recession are “60% and rising” in his view, and Mark expects the “next thing to go” will be the job market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

As Jesus taught, "No one puts new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skin, and both the wine and the skins will be ruined" (Mark 2:22). This parable highlights the need for new containers – or in this context, new mindsets – to receive and preserve the fresh, transformative work of God.Our mindset, thought system, and outlook on life serve as the containers where we process and respond to God's guidance. It's the framework that informs our decisions and actions. As followers of Christ, it's crucial that we continually examine and renew our minds to align with God's plans and purposes.Before Jesus' ascension, His disciples asked Him if He would restore the kingdom to Israel at that time (Acts 1:6). Jesus' response might have seemed disappointing to their expectations, but it revealed God's next step for His people: "You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). This exchange illustrates how our limited understanding can lead us to focus on outdated or misguided ideas.When we fail to grasp what God wants to do next, we risk becoming stagnant and ineffective. We might "tabernacle" around an idea that was once relevant but is no longer applicable to our current season. This can lead to spiritual complacency and a disconnection from God's ongoing work.To avoid stagnation and stay aligned with God's purposes, we must cultivate a clear understanding of His plans and desires. This requires a willingness to adapt, learn, and grow, ensuring that our mindset and actions remain relevant to the current season. As the apostle Paul wrote, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will" (Romans 12:2).

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by all the talk of New Year's resolutions, words of the year, annual goal setting, and more as we turn another page on our calendar. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it brings a heaviness and guilt instead of motivation. It's okay to just stay focused on doing the next thing. Obedience to God's commandments leads to blessings, peace, and a deeper relationship with Him. Let's talk about the challenges of obedience, the cost of disobedience, and the role prayer plays in our walk with the Lord. Join me to learn how to trust in God's timing and to cultivate a life of long obedience as you enter the new year. Not Consumed: Helping your family grow in faith so you are Not Consumed by life.

Ever wondered how you'll make it through your day of work or homeschooling after a night of fractured sleep? Ever felt completely stuck in a hard situation, without a clear path to a solution?  Ever wished someone wise would just write you a step-by-step solution to a sticky situation so you can love forward? The truth is, we rarely receive enlightenment or next steps in the way we hope we will. Instead, the Lord asks us to simply keep taking steps forward, doing the next needful thing.  A truth God is teaching me very clearly in the season in which I find myself is one many of you need to hear as well, I believe: Sometimes, you don't wonder how you'll do it, “You just do” it.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Double-Sided WisdomDevotional: 5 of 5Be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5)Today concludes our series exploring couplets of biblical truths that God calls us to hold in tension. Here's our final piece of double-sided wisdom: Desire Good Things AND Be Content in All Things.Many Christians don't feel permission to desire. But Scripture gives it to us repeatedly! In Matthew 7:7-11, Jesus encouraged his followers to “ask” for “good gifts.” And Psalm 37:4 urges us to "take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." So, while Scripture condemns fleshly desires (see Galatians 5:16-17), it clearly commends good and God-honoring desires like landing a promotion so you can serve more people or earning more income so you can give more generously.But the flip side of this double-sided wisdom is to “be content with what you have” (see Hebrews 13:5). So, God delights in his children's good desires and he also calls us to be content. The question I'm often asking is this: How can you and I cultivate contentment while simultaneously desiring the next thing? Here are three ideas.#1: Measure progress backward rather than forward. When I'm chasing after a big goal, I default to measuring progress forward—between where I am now and where I desire to be. But I'm learning the wisdom of measuring progress backward—between where I am now and where I was before as a means of cultivating gratitude and contentment as I strive for what's next. I have actually done this physically in my office, by putting the books God has already allowed me to publish on the bookshelf behind where I sit as I look forward onto my laptop and whatever I'm striving for next.#2: Praise God for anything he has given you beyond food and clothing. In 1 Timothy 6:6-8 Paul says that “if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.” Why? Because that's all Jesus promised his followers materially (see Matthew 6:28-33)! And that perspective should lead us to awe and contentment that God has given us anything else in addition to what he promised.#3: Refuse to strive one day a week. One thing that makes biblical Sabbath distinct from the other six days of the week is the intentional cessation of striving. My family loves the life-giving discipline of simply enjoying what God has already given us while refusing to discuss or work on what's next. If holding the tension between desiring good things and being content with what you have is a challenge for you, give Sabbath a shot.

In this podcast episode, Shannon reflects on a principle her father shared with her: that everything in life is preparation for the next thing. She discusses how God uses both the good and the bad experiences to shape and refine us for what's to come. Shannon shares her personal experience of leaving a successful ministry job to prioritize her children, and how that seemingly detour led to significant growth and preparation for her future. She emphasizes that God is always at work, even in the difficult and confusing moments, and that everything is part of His preparation process.Keywordspreparation, God's sovereignty, challenges, growth, refinementTakeawaysEverything in life is preparation for the next thing, and God uses both the good and the bad experiences to shape and refine us.Even in the difficult and confusing moments, God is always at work and nothing is wasted.Sometimes we can only see the purpose and preparation in hindsight.Challenges and trials are crucial parts of God's preparation process, molding and refining us for what's to come.God's preparation often involves growth, maturity, and learning important lessons.Ministry can happen anywhere, not just in a church building.God is a God of details and order, and there is no plan B or second best in His sovereign plan.Trust that God is always preparing you for the next thing, and look for the ways He has prepared you in the past.Chapters00:00 | Introduction: Everything is Preparation for the Next Thing02:19 | God's Work in the Good and the Bad07:56 | Growth and Maturity in God's Preparation09:33 | Ministry Beyond the Church Building14:02 | No Plan B in God's Sovereign Plan17:18 | Trusting God's Preparation for the Future

When life is turned upside down, the righteous respond with unwavering faith, trusting in God's promises and doing the next thing in front of them.

Making a school lunch, meeting a friend for coffee, or praying for your neighbors may not seem eternity-altering, but God can use the smallest acts of obedience to make a lasting impact. Sometimes it's not the grand gestures that make the biggest difference; sometimes it's the seemingly insignificant acts that transform people's lives. In Act 9, we can all learn from the example of Tabitha, a devoted disciple of Jesus - her character, impact, and obedience to follow God's plan. Join us as we celebrate mothers who disciple their families, friends, and neighbors as they go. 

“Phound is a little play on words,” says David Erickson. “It's a mixture of being carrier found and phone, obviously. And the idea behind it is that we used to have phone books. We used to have directories, and now everybody kind of would rather hide their phone number and I think the idea with found is that we're a permission-based carrier meaning you have to ask for permission to call people and so people are more likely to want to get found right and then allow for contact on their terms with the people that find them and so we're going back to the idea of having a directory of phone book you know but the ability to kind of lock down my communications and only allow through the people that I want to allow through.” You might have encountered David before, as the founder of freeconferencecall.com (www.freeconferencecall.com ). Now David is back, solving he next big problem: the need to update a communication system invented in an era of printed directories and rotary dials. Now a permission based system, familiar to the era of social media, can be achieved for the first means of reaching people, in real time. Visit https://www.phound.app/

The Bible uses a lot of running analogies, and the half-marathon I completed over the weekend really helped drive them home.  Show Notes VERSES CITED: - “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize. Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable. Therefore I do not run aimlessly; I do not fight like I am beating the air. No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.” (1 Corinthians 9:24-27) - “The first shall be last and the last shall be first.” (Matthew 20:16) - “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” (Hebrews 12:1-2) - “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:23-25) - “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.  For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) - “But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.  Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made the good confession before many witnesses.” (1Timothy 6:12) - “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22-23) - “If we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the spirit.” (Galatians 5:25) - “Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:12-14) - “Well done, my good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of thy master.” (Matthew 25:21) - “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.” (2Timothy 4:7-8) Related Links: - Cowtown Half Marathon Photos - a few of the shots I shared on Instagram - "May All Who Come Behind Us Find Us Faithful" - touching song by Steve Green - "Do the Next Thing" - poem written by Mrs. George A.
