Really? Overcoming Persecution and the Truth About the Vine and the BranchesEver felt like looking up at heaven during a brutal season of life and saying, "Lord, you just don't understand what they're doing to me"?In this video, Coach Shelby pulls no punches as he takes you inside a hard personal season from his coaching days—a time of intense spiritual warfare, false accusations, and social media slander. While sitting at his desk, the Lord broke through with a single, sobering word: "Really?"Nothing we experience—no betrayal, no persecution, and no human attack—can ever compare to what Jesus carried to the cross. If He could look down at the world and offer forgiveness, we are commanded to do the same.Coach connects this personal lesson directly to a deep dive into John 15. Using insights from the Dake Annotated Reference Bible, he tackles a heavy topic that trips up a lot of "Facebook prophets": The Vine and the Branches. The Word makes it clear that a branch cannot be cut off and thrown into the fire if it was never attached to the tree in the first place. This isn't a game of empty professions; it's a standard of bearing fruit. If you're going through a painful season right now, stop automatically blaming the devil. You might just be on the Master Gardener's pruning table so that you can grow back stronger, sharper, and ready to produce much more fruit.Classroom Highlights:The "Really" Vision: The moment Coach Shelby tried to give God his resume of suffering and got corrected.The Facebook Prophets: Why relying on what "some man told you" instead of reading the Book is real brainwashing.Can a Branch Be Cut Off? Breaking down John 15:2 and 15:6 with strict biblical context.The Reality of Apostasy: Why you cannot physically depart from a place you never actually stood.Pruned for Purpose: Why horrific trials leave true believers with a stronger, functional faith rather than a shattered one.Scriptures Studied:John 15:2 – Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes.John 15:6 – If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered... and they are burned.John 15:8 – By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit.#WordTime #CoachShelby #John15 #VineAndBranches #SpiritualWarfare #PruningSeason #BiblicalTruth #Forgiveness #ExposingFalseDoctrineChapters0:00 - Intro: Welcome to the Closet0:11 - The Coach's Office: A Season of Heavy Persecution & Warfare0:52 - Giving God My Resume: "You Don't Know What They Did to Me"1:15 - The Word from the Lord: "Really?"2:00 - The Two-Fold Message: Why Our Suffering Pales in Comparison to the Cross2:30 - John 15 & The Dake Bible: Breaking Down the Vineyard Parable3:13 - Spiritual Grafting: You Can't Be Cut Off If You Weren't Plugged In4:06 - Confronting the "Once Saved" Debate & The Great Apostasy4:49 - The Absurdity of Mere Profession: Literal Branches vs. Fake Words6:05 - The Only Way to Bear Fruit: Total Dependence on the Vine6:42 - Blaming the Devil vs. Accepting the Pruning Shears of God7:14 - The Guarantee: Why True Believers Come Out of the Fire Stronger7:44 - Outro: Make the Choice to Forgive, Forget, and Move Forward

Send us Fan MailWomen's Power To Heal Mother Earth" (Season 4, The New Earth)Episode 227: Love is the Only Way by Maya Tiwari.This episode explores a profound cosmic opportunity for immediate healing and liberation from a simulated, ego-driven reality. Maya Tiwari guides listeners to disconnect from societal programming and reclaim their true, divine essence—the One Self—through the power of universal love, vigilant boundary-setting, and ritualistic forgiveness.Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Cosmic Juncture for HealingThe Astrological Catalyst: A rare blue moon in Sagittarius (at its apogee) aligns with the Central Sun, stars, and portals. This occurs in the Vedic star of Anuradha (victory through devotion), readying humanity for the "great Solar Flash."Immediate Healing: This unique opening in time offers a rapid opportunity to heal wounds, mend relationships, and align with cosmic energies, provided we cast aside doubt.2. The Illusion of the "Simulation" and the EgoThe Fabricated Reality: The physical world is described as an "algorithm of illusion" and a "strategized simulation" that feeds on negative existence and manipulation.The Invention of Ego: The ego fractures our spirit by defining us through human lack, striving, and suffering ("I am this, I am not enough"), rather than our true nature as pure Being (Atman, or the I Am).3. The "Remote Control" and Galactic InterventionDivine Intervention: For the first time in millennia, beneficent "Galactic Light Beings" are intervening to free Earth using supreme technology connected to the Central Sun.The Remote: Humanity has been handed a metaphorical "remote control" powered by crystalline light. To break free from the simulation's programming, we simply need to press "Stop" and plug into universal love.4. Reclaiming the One Self Through Love and VigilanceThe Unified Self: By turning off the programming, we reconnect with the "One Self"—a universal, unconditional love that connects all human beings.Diligent Authority: When old habits of the simulation (angst, guilt, judgment) creep back in, Tiwari advises shutting them down with fierce authority, refusing to let the simulation feed on our energy.5. Healing Through Ritual ForgivenessEffortless Forgiveness: As the heart opens, forgiveness flows naturally. Tiwari emphasizes forgiving ourselves for our deepest, unshared mistakes, viewing them as vital opportunities for growth and compassion.The Release Ritual: Listeners are encouraged to write down their sorrows, speak them aloud, call upon a divine witness (such as Archangel Michael or Mother Durga), and ceremoniously burn the paper using incense, sage, or camphor.Core Message: Earth is a pristine paradise. By refusing to be manipulated by a false, ego-driven matrix and choosing to activate our divine "remote control," we can effortlessly dissolve old suffering, forgive our pasts, and step into universal love.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

Ever felt like your boss doesn't quite hold you in the highest esteem?Pity then, workers at Standard Chartered Bank. CEO Bill Winters described some of them as 'lower value human capital' during a speech to investors. His words came at a time when the bank is getting rid of thousands of positions and replacing them with AI.David and Farzana look at what happens when you say the quiet thing out loud - and what the repercussions are if you get your PR response all kinds of wrong.On the extended edition on BBC Sounds, are 'dark forces' really trying to tarnish the late Queen's reputation? Recent revelations about how she lobbied for Andrew Mountbatten Windsor to get a trade envoy job could be just the start of an attempt to gradually unpick her legacy.Also, big shout out to the GC. That's Gemma Collins, mega-influencer and former star of The Only Way is Essex. The Department for Education is facing a huge backlash for using her to try and persuade young people to stay in education. David and Farzana explain that the use of influencers in politics is a growing thing - but just chasing their millions of followers doesn't guarantee success. There's an art to getting it right.Producer: Duncan Middleton Editor: Sarah Teasdale Executive Producer: Eve Streeter Music by Eclectic Sounds A Raconteur Studios production for BBC Radio 4

Wall Street still defines a “bear market” as a 20% decline, but does that rule still apply in today's market environment? Lance Roberts & Jon Penn break down why traditional definitions of corrections and bear markets may be obsolete after 17 years of Fed intervention, massive liquidity injections, and historically elevated valuations. We also answer one of the biggest questions investors are asking right now: how do you balance staying invested while also remaining defensive? We discuss risk management, position sizing, portfolio hedging, and how investors can recognize when it may be time to become more cautious without abandoning long-term investment discipline. Lance & Jon also iscuss one of the biggest behavioral mistakes investors make during strong bull markets: allowing the “tax tail” to wag the investment dog. We examine strategies for trimming concentrated positions, managing capital gains, utilizing Donor Advised Funds, exploring option collars for risk management, and remembering that paying taxes usually means you made money in the first place.

Wall Street still defines a "bear market" as a 20% decline, but does that rule still apply in today's market environment? Lance Roberts & Jon Penn break down why traditional definitions of corrections and bear markets may be obsolete after 17 years of Fed intervention, massive liquidity injections, and historically elevated valuations. We also answer one of the biggest questions investors are asking right now: how do you balance staying invested while also remaining defensive? We discuss risk management, position sizing, portfolio hedging, and how investors can recognize when it may be time to become more cautious without abandoning long-term investment discipline. The conversation also covers the appointment of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair, how a change in Federal Reserve leadership could impact markets and longer-duration Treasury bonds, and whether slower economic growth remains the most likely long-term outcome. We revisit concerns about market weakness during a Fed transition period and discuss whether the current rally still faces meaningful downside risks. In this episode, we also explain why bond prices decline even when bonds are considered "fixed income," how rising yields impact individual bond prices, and why investors should avoid emotional reactions to short-term bond volatility. We address growing fears surrounding U.S. debt levels, deficit spending, and debt-to-GDP concerns, while pushing back against the nonstop doom-driven narratives dominating financial media and social platforms. Sometimes the best financial decision is to stop reacting emotionally to headlines and focus on long-term financial planning instead. Finally, we discuss one of the biggest behavioral mistakes investors make during strong bull markets: allowing the "tax tail" to wag the investment dog. We examine strategies for trimming concentrated positions, managing capital gains, utilizing Donor Advised Funds, exploring option collars for risk management, and remembering that paying taxes usually means you made money in the first place.

This is message 45 in Gospel Record of John John 13:36-14:6 Jesus alone could accomplish the work of redemption, for only the sinless Son of God could bear weight of mankind's sin and open the way to the Father. Though His followers would fail in their own strength, He offered comfort, assurance, and hope by promising a prepared place for all who trust in Him. In a world filled with uncertainty and false paths, Christ stands as the only way of salvation, the unchanging truth that can be trust completely, and the source of eternal life that fully satisfies the soul.

Are you climbing the right mountain, or just getting really good at the wrong one? Bradley sits down with Judah Taub — Israeli intelligence veteran, cybersecurity investor, and author of How to Move Up When the Only Way is Down — who borrows a concept from machine learning called the "local maximum" to explain why smart people and successful companies so often underperform their potential.

In the insurance industry, we often celebrate the "Hero”, the lone-wolf producer who closes the big deal and saves the day. But if you want to build a truly scalable agency, you have to stop being the hero and start being the Hero Maker.My guest, Dan Wellik, Vice President at TRICOR, joins me to discuss his journey from pitching on the mound and coaching in the Cape Cod League to leading sales teams in the insurance world. Dan shares a unique perspective on the industry, having navigated the trajectory from a boutique independent agency to global powerhouses like AssuredPartners and Gallagher, before choosing to return to a large regional independent.

Greg answers questions about whether God has always been Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, his thoughts on women in ministry, how a layperson who isn't into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way, and how to approach loved ones who are following a false prophet.   Topics: Has God always consisted of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, was Jesus always intended to come in the same form of those created in his image, and does it necessarily follow that if God were to create anything, it would have to include beings made in his image? (02:00) What are your thoughts on women in ministry? (16:00) Do you have any ideas on how a layperson who is not into apologetics can defend the idea that Jesus is the only way? (38:00) How should I approach loved ones who are in a house church that follows a “prophet” who teaches things that are contrary to classical Christianity and even the gospel?

The final moments of Vivian Silver’s life were a “pivotal turning point” for her son Yonatan Zeigen, who now dedicates his life to Israeli-Palestinian reconciliation, following in the footsteps of his peace activist mother, who was slain in her home in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7. Speaking on the eve of Israel’s Remembrance Day for fallen soldiers and terror victims, Zeigen recalled his final goodbyes with his mother with the gunshots of Hamas terrorists at her doorstep in the background, and the loss that he described as jolting him out of what he calls a “political coma” and moved him into full-time activism. Zeigen is a board member of The Parents Circle-Families Forum that co-sponsors the annual alternative joint Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony. He attended the ceremony in his youth together with his mother and immediately after her death, he knew that this would be the appropriate place to mourn her and continue her mission. He said on the podcast that the alternative ceremony represented “how two peoples share a land: They don't share a land by creating artificial divisions and dehumanizing each other. They do it by looking each other in the eye by celebrating together and also crying together, mourning together.” Zeigen said he was not comfortable being part of the government-sponsored ceremonies memorializing terror victims like his mother. “Bereavement is framed in a political manner in Israel. It is utilized to boost morale by diving into our narrative of victimhood and rallying around and making heroes of those who die in the conflict. It’s not the way that I feel comfortable commemorating my mother.” Read more: 'Swimming Against the Tide, but Swimming': More Israelis and Palestinians Now Choose to Grieve Together Op-ed by Yonatan Zeigen: Most Israelis Are Willfully Ignorant, Opting to Deny or Justify.

In a world that thinks there are many ways to God, truth is subjective and life is what you make it, hear Jesus's awesome claims to be the Only Way to the Father, the One who perfectly reveals God's True character to us, and He who gives Life by Dwelling in us by His Spirit.

Run To Win - Humility is your Only Way to Heaven by Anchor Church Palos

Easter isn't about a fresh start. It's about a brand new life.In this Easter message from Pastor George Sawyer, we confront a question that still echoes from the empty tomb in Luke 24: “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?”So many people today are searching for life in places that can't give it. Success, relationships, habits, even religion. We try to reset our lives by changing circumstances, but deep down, nothing really changes. This message makes it clear: God didn't come to reset you. He came to resurrect you.The resurrection of Jesus is not just a moment we celebrate. It is the foundation of our faith. It proves the cross worked. It declares victory over sin, death, and hell. And it offers every person the opportunity to be completely transformed through forgiveness, freedom, and the power of the Holy Spirit.Through biblical truth and real-life stories, Pastor Sawyer challenges us to stop looking for life in dead places and respond to Jesus' invitation to come alive. This is more than behavior modification. This is total transformation.You don't need another reset. You need resurrection.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

No Wiggle Room 46 Who among you can convict me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47 The one who is from God listens to God's words. This is why you don't listen, because you are not from God.” 48 The Jews responded to him, “Aren't we right in saying that you're a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus answered. “On the contrary, I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and judges. 51 Truly I tell you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” 52 Then the Jews said, “Now we know you have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do you claim to be?” 54 “If I glorify myself,” Jesus answered, “my glory is nothing. My Father—about whom you say, ‘He is our God'—he is the one who glorifies me. 55 You do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say I don't know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; he saw it and was glad.” 57 The Jews replied, “You aren't fifty years old yet, and you've seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple.John 8:46–59 So many think that Jesus is this gentle, mild-mannered man that never raised His voice, was always politically correct, was interested in only helping minorities and... …was just plain nice... Really? Yes, and there are all sorts of other versions of Jesus... like this one... running around... out there.... in people's minds... And… when you hear the words, "Now what would Jesus do?" What does… come to mind? What are people getting at? It is usually not the Jesus of the Bible, that they are asking we emulate. What does Jesus do? He Judges. He condemns. He is a surgeon with a very precise hand, cutting away with a very sharp knife... … the many things we hold dear... the many things we would like to keep... But He never compromises...He never gives one inch to sin coddlers...or their sin...of any kind. Yes, He comes for sinners...and yes...to forgive sinners... But that is not the same thing as people think. First...He judges...and this all the time... ...and when He says not to judge...it is not what people are quoting Him for. No, Jesus gives no one... any wiggle room!  None! In fact, He presses the Law more than anyone else. That Law, that Jesus preached...and taught...and insisted upon... … was not just about what we did... with our hands... outwardly... No, it was about what we conceive inwardly...in our minds and hearts. What did you dream of? What did you want and desire? What secrets were we harboring? Jesus tells us that even if we don't actually do any of that...what we wanted to do...what we thought about...fantasized about... According to God, we have, in fact already had done it. So... no... there is no wiggle room...to slink away with...then. No... there is no wiggle room to escape justice… then. None! We are what we are...what He says we are... And we know it...even if we are not sure of the details of our case...but...be sure...He does. So, when we encounter this Jesus, understand that this IS the real one...our Jesus...the same Jesus...as He always was...is and will be. This is the Jesus who preaches the unfiltered...non-watered down Law. Who passes judgment on our...and all sin. And we CAN say...as so many do...all manner of things about Him. We can call Him insane...a megalomaniac who thinks He is God, a magician...in league with the devil...a fake...or just another would-be religion maker. Or we can ignore the Bible and come up with our on own version of Jesus as so many also do. But when we meet Him in the Bible, we meet Him as the Word of God who uses His Word as a mirror to show us who we are and how we measure up to God's...His... Jesus' standards. And we either face these standards...and our lack of measuring up to them, or we do what most people do... ...remain unconverted and head right into hell. But make no mistake about it,  when He points the finger...He is pointing it at me...at you...and at everyone. So...stop then...stop trying to justify yourself. Stop trying to find legal loopholes. Stop trying to re-interpret what He is condemning us for...as something other than just what it is: Sin...wrong...and destructive. Accept it. There is no way out of His verdict of our guilt. What is the best thing to be done, then? Plead guilty. Let His Word turn us around. Let Him cut you...let Him cut as deep as needed to bring His healing process. Well...but that would kill me! Well...yeah! That it will. That is how bad we are. We need to be killed. He needs to kill us...and that is exactly what He is doing to us... ...all so that He can resurrect us without that which He is condemning us for...what He is condemning us to death for. All so that we will end up without our disease. That is the purpose of the Law. To Kill us. In the end it will kill us all. It must. There is no way to rise again healed unless we let Him do this...kill us. He will not compromise. There is no other way. We cannot do better...ever! We cannot make up for any of it, no matter how hard we try. Humankind cannot be rehabilitated. We have to put down. Each and every one. So go ahead. Pharisee. Go ahead follower of the devil...and you are if you hold to any of his lies. And we do... Go ahead, adulterer...fornicator...sodomite...pornographer... Go ahead, murderer, gossip...thief... ...coveter...idolater... You who are stingy and inhospitable... You who are despisers of God's House...preaching and His Word. Go ahead and plead guilty. Let Him stop and kill all of that in you...as He must do...same as in me. Yes...let Him change your mind. Accept His declaration of all of it...as being as evil, damnable sin. What is left then...? … dead and dying ground that He plants saving faith in... Because He has already been condemned, punished and killed for all of those sins listed...and for any that were not. He has stepped in and took your place at the executioner's head-chopping block...firing range...lethal injection table. He has already been blamed for all that you are and all that you do...and… in eternity He did the time in the dark black cell. What is left then? What do you do now? Contrary … yes we are to be contrary… to all that is listed above... Yet this can only be done IN HIM...within His walls...under and by His Grace and Mercy...and only because of the Freedom He gives through the Gospel...in the Gospel...by the Gospel.... That is, only by and in... because of...and in the midst of Him... with His things… Where He gives them… by His Word... Which is the same thing...for us...right now. Only a person forgiven of a crime can know what forgiveness is...can walk away free.  Only a person who is forgiven a life-time of evil, guilt and shame...can know true forgiveness...and really be free. If in our condition, we think we are already free...free to do what we please because we have decided what is good and right for us to do... We are bound up tight in a very dark place. And we will remain there if we refuse His sentence...His Judgment... The Son must set you free. Then and only then are you in fact. But it is only again ever so in Him...in Christ...with Him... You in Him and He in you forever. That is the true human condition. We are only what we were meant to be...what we were created to be...in that state. We were made to be companions of God...together. We cannot even be true companions to each other unless it is with Him too. As one pastor said once, plead guilty so that you can be acquitted and go and live forever with the judge. That is the only way out of all of this. He is the ONLY Way...the ONLY Truth...and the ONLY Life...no one gets to the Father...the Judge...the King...but in this way. And He is offering. It is a limited time offer. It only lasts as long as your life...or as long as the world lasts...whatever comes...or I should say, goes first. So yes, you are guilty. Yes, you are facing a death and an eternal life sentence. But Jesus is offering you complete forgiveness without any strings. To make you truly human...like He is...the way you were created to be: Living, breathing, running, singing...laughing... Forever... Forever to live in His House and...out into the wide open fields...at play...as a child of God. It is yours right now. Amen.

Jesus Is The Way; The Only Way! John 14:6 6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Dennis Doomen has been a hands-on coding architect for 30 years, and his take is blunt: if you're not in the code, you can't make good architectural decisions.

Jesus Is the Way | John 14:1–7 | Pastor Steve Rahter Trusting Christ as the Only Way to the Father Pastor Steve Rahter Getting Grounded Series  

“Cos my sorrows did not drown my friend, they always learned to swim…” I’ve been taking a lot of early baths – in the middle of the night when the electricity is cheaper, and I created a playlist for that – over 300 tracks. As I was lying there I thought ‘this would make a good podcast’ and here we are – recorded in my bathroom! Paradoxically that’s where I used to record my podcasts not to disturb John, annoyed by the ever-present echo – now it’s a stylistic choice. Talking of John – he’s famous! He’s featured in a book about Switchboard (formerly Lesbian and Gay Switchboard) as he was one of the co-founders. One of the many things he did…and I am so proud. Halfway through reading it, and the book is great – but also you can also hear his voice on famous The Log Books podcast – Series 4, episode 1. Hearing his voice again was wonderful but also bittersweet. Ugly-cried when it came on. So I’ve done readings across the podcast from a few bits of the book around him. It has nothing to do with baths, but given it’s his bath in a weird olive/grey shade (which made recently fixing a hole in it with Milliput easy actually, it’s that sort of weird grey/green!) and we used to have baths together when I was lot thinner. I talk about that, the music, the state of the world (Iran So Far Away) and how I am glad that John doesn’t get to see the rise of the Fourth Reich, Icy Dumb and Dumber edition.

Has physical intimacy in your relationship started to feel like a source of anxiety rather than connection? You are not alone. In this episode of the Communicate and Connect Podcast, I'm joined by physical therapist Eve Hall to discuss a topic that many couples struggle with in silence: Erectile Dysfunction (ED). We often see a pattern where a physical struggle leads to emotional withdrawal. One partner feels shame, the other feels rejected, and suddenly, a "blockage" in the body becomes a blockage in the relationship cycle. Today, we're slowing down and getting curious about the physical, emotional, and relational sides of sexual health. What You'll Learn in This Episode: [00:00] - Why Men Hide Erectile Dysfunction [00:31] - Introducing Eve Hall: Physical Therapy for Sexual Health [2:24] - How Common is ED?

Why California Independence is the Only Way to Avoid Civil War 2.0?Is the American experiment at an end? In this eye-opening episode, Rachel Fiori sits down with Marcus Ruiz Evans (Founder of the CalExit Project) and JJ Ames (Political Science Professor and former Washington DC Consultant) to discuss the sovereign future of California.From artillery shells over the I-5 freeway to the "Big Sort" of American ideologies, Marcus and JJ argue that California's separation from the United States isn't a radical act—it's a life-saving maneuver. We dive deep into the statistics of "Majority-Minority" demographic shifts, the reality of political violence, and why the current federal system is no longer built to protect its citizens. If you are tired of the "insanity" of doing the same thing and expecting different results, this conversation on Oneness Consciousness and political sovereignty is a must-watch.Visit: https://calexitnow.org/ to learn more about Marcus and JJ's work to separate from the US. Visit: www.coalitionofoneness.org to learn more about this new movement to reclaim our personal sovereignty. The Masters of Self University PODCAST is your highest source of Sacred Truth and Universal Wisdom, offered by Rachel Fiori, mystical teacher, psycho-energetic healer, & CEO.

Sure, design might be going through a tough period...But as the saying goes, "never waste a good crisis."So this moment of uncertainty, where everyone is wondering if (or rather when) AI will take over their job, might actually be our biggest opportunity to rise up.It is a unique chance to reclaim our core focus of designing services that genuinely improve people's lives, rather than just extracting value to maximize shareholder returns.Of course to discuss an existential topic like this we had to find someone who's been around the block for some time. And boy did we find someone!For this episode we sit down with the legendary Dan Saffer to chat about what we can learn from the last two decades of design evolution.We try to wrap our heads around what caused the erosion of strategic design from its heyday, which, frankly, wasn't even that long ago.We look into how we somehow got identified with the outputs, like running workshops or creating interfaces in Figma, rather than the outcomes. And more importantly, what we can do to prevent that from happening again, whether that's with journey management or crafting smart prompts.And finally we also tackle the big question of why design isn't having a greater influence on the current wave of AI, and how we can change that.So bring your cassette player for this one, because we're going back in time for some nostalgia and a healthy dose of hope.Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

In this fast-paced, raw, and incredibly actionable LashCon 2025 coaching session, Sheila Bella sits down with a beauty entrepreneur who's struggling to grow her trainer kit business — and in under 20 minutes, Sheila completely restructures her visibility and sales strategy. If you've ever wondered why your product, kit, or training isn't taking off even though it's great, this episode will be a wake-up call. Sheila breaks down the exact reason most beauty businesses stay stuck: they're relying solely on word of mouth and not building a digital ecosystem that works on autopilot. You'll hear Sheila walk this business owner through a clear, simple two-part formula: 1. Get seen — visibility through content & ads 2. Get chosen — conversion through trust-building systems This episode is a must-listen for lash trainers, PMU educators, product creators, or anyone wanting consistent sales without burning out. ⭐ 5 Key Points From the Episode 1. Visibility Can't Rely on Word of Mouth Alone Sheila explains that if you want consistent, predictable growth, word of mouth is not enough. You need digital visibility that runs 24/7. 2. There Are Only Two Content Types: Organic & Paid Organic content builds trust. Paid content (ads) builds reach. Both are needed if you want trainers to see your kit as an option. 3. Trainers Only Choose Brands They See Repeatedly Visibility → familiarity → trust → sales. Your kits won't sell if trainers never see them online. 4. Automation Is the Only Way to Scale Without Burnout Sheila walks her through creating automated sales funnels, email sequences, DMs, and follow-up systems so she can grow her brand while raising her kids. 5. Being Seen Gets You Considered — But Being Chosen Requires Conversations Once people see your ads and content, what converts them is the messaging, follow-up, and nurturing process behind the scenes.

Our son was falling in love. I mean like the big one - like the girl he ended up marrying. Our beautiful Navajo daughter now. Our son lived on the Hopi Indian Reservation in Arizona, and the girl of his dreams lived in a remote area of the Navajo Reservation. It was about an hour drive to get out to her house to see her, but he managed - frequently. And the road? Oh, boy! It's one of those reservation roads that kills your shock absorbers, covers you with dust, and even opens up a crater or two for you to dodge. It's not that there weren't better roads around in that area; there are some nicely paved highways with some beautiful views. They even had some nice girls living on them probably. But my son didn't take any of those, for one very good reason. There was only one road that led to the destination he wanted. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I'd like to have A Word With You today about "The Only Way to Choose Your Road." What is that? It's the same way our son chose the road he took - does it get me to the destination I want? That's especially important when the destination is eternal; the place you'll be forever. God deeply wants you and me to be with Him forever in heaven. So He makes the road very clear. Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Isaiah 43:11. "I, even I, am the Lord, and apart from Me there is no Savior." How many roads? According to the One who decides, there is one. Now notice, God doesn't say "apart from Me there is no religion." There are many religions. God doesn't say, "Apart from Me there is no teacher." Again, there have been many spiritual teachers. And God doesn't tell us, "Apart from Me there is no spirituality." There's a whole buffet of inspiring spiritual experiences. If what will get us to heaven is a religion or a religious leader or spirituality, take your pick. There are many roads. But God says what we need is a Savior, someone who can rescue us from a dying situation. Later in the same chapter in the Bible, God explains what it takes to have a relationship with Him and to make it to heaven. "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions, for My own sake, and remembers your sins no more." God says, "You've got to have your sins totally erased." No amount of doing good can erase my doing bad. No amount of sincere spirituality can pay the death penalty that sin requires. Only one person even claimed to do that. In the Bible's words, speaking of Jesus, "He carried our sins in His own body on the tree." So that's why Jesus says, "I am the way. No man comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6). Apart from Him there is no Savior. And apart from a Savior, you and I don't stand a chance with God. There are many beautiful roads with many beautiful people on them. But only the Savior road gets you to the eternal destination you want, which is heaven. The only issue that will really matter forever is whether or not you took the road God provided at the cost of His only Son's life. You've thought about it, maybe even argued about it, but maybe today your heart is saying, "I do need a Savior. It's time." If you want Jesus, the Savior, to finally be your Savior, would you tell Him that right now? "Jesus, you're the One who died for me for what I've done against God, I am yours beginning today. I'm grabbing You like a drowning person would grab a rescuer." I'd love to help you be sure you belong to Him; to nail down this relationship and get it settled. That's why our website exists, and I want to invite you to go there. It's ANewStory.com. Would you check it out as soon as you can today? One day, maybe unexpectedly, your earth-journey will come to an abrupt end. And then it's eternity. From then on and forever, all that matters is what road you chose to get to heaven...because the only one that goes there is the one that runs by Jesus' cross. {module Open a chat window - needhim}
