In this installment of the Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the practical path to overcoming harmful speech. The Orchot Tzaddikim teaches that someone seeking to repent from gossip, flattery, falsehood, idle chatter, and slander must build a strong protective fence around themselves. The first step is distancing oneself from environments and friendships that normalize negative speech. Just as bad habits are contagious, positive habits are cultivated by surrounding oneself with people who speak words of Torah, wisdom, and fear of Heaven. Lasting change begins with changing one's environment. The episode emphasizes the extraordinary power of silence and intentional speech. Rabbi Wolbe explains that a person who wishes to elevate themselves must reduce unnecessary conversation, increase Torah study, and become mindful of every word they utter. Speech is not merely communication—it is one of the most powerful forces available to a human being. Our words can heal, inspire, encourage, and elevate, or they can destroy relationships, reputations, and even entire communities. The class concludes with a memorable parable about a man who obtained milk from a lioness to heal a king. In a dream, the various organs of the body argued about which was most important, until the tongue demonstrated that it possessed the power to bring either life or death. The lesson echoes King Solomon's famous teaching: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." Rabbi Wolbe leaves listeners with a powerful reminder that mastering one's speech is among the greatest forms of self-mastery and spiritual growth. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 3, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this Mussar Masterclass on the Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores one of Judaism's most transformative principles: judging others favorably. Drawing from Orchot Tzaddikim, he explains that our obligation to judge favorably depends on the character of the individual involved. A righteous person should be given the benefit of the doubt even when circumstances appear questionable. An average person should be judged charitably whenever possible. Most importantly, the way we judge others becomes the standard by which Heaven judges us. When we extend grace to others, Hashem extends grace to us. The episode then shifts to the dangers of revenge, grudges, and public embarrassment. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes a crucial distinction: we may condemn a person's actions, but we should never define the person by their mistakes. This principle is especially relevant in parenting, where criticizing a child's behavior rather than labeling the child preserves dignity and encourages growth. Our words have the power either to elevate people toward greatness or to push them toward failure. A central theme throughout the class is the power of positive expectations. Through stories ranging from Talmudic teachings to NFL MVP Josh Allen's upbringing, Rabbi Wolbe demonstrates how people often rise to the expectations placed upon them. Parents, teachers, spouses, and friends can profoundly influence others by speaking to their potential rather than their shortcomings. The episode concludes with the famous lesson that the true "elixir of life" is guarding one's tongue. Long life, healthy relationships, and spiritual greatness begin with careful, disciplined speech. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 2, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In part two of this conversation, host Emma Sellers, MS, continues her discussion with Lucy Kibe, DrPH, MS, MHS, PA-C, co-founder of AmKeny, a nonprofit organization connecting U.S. physician associates and clinicians with Kenyan clinical officers to support healthcare, education, and community initiatives in Kenya. Joining the conversation are Laye Akinloye, PA-C, Emeritus; Alabi Akinloye, PA; Miriam Ha, PA; and pre-PA students Gaelen Waar and Ajana Williams, who reflect on their experiences participating in AmKeny's medical outreach work in Kitale, Kenya. The group discusses the global role of physician associates and similar professions such as Kenya's clinical officers, highlighting the impact of collaborative, community-centered care. Miriam and the clinicians share lessons learned through service, listening, and cultural exchange, while Gaelen and Ajana describe transformative moments working alongside healthcare teams, including helping connect dozens of patients to free cataract surgeries through an eye clinic initiative. The episode also explores the importance of teamwork, cultural communication, and sustainable support efforts, as Lucy shares AmKeny's plans for future outreach trips and encourages support through local supply purchases and donations. Along the way, the guests reflect on the relationships built through the experience, as well as the opportunity to explore Kenya's culture, communities, and landscapes.

In this powerful Mussar Masterclass from Orchot Tzaddikim's Gate of Slander, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the destructive power of Lashon Hara (slander), gossip, and revealing secrets, teaching that words can cause emotional, financial, physical, and spiritual harm. The discussion emphasizes that speech is never neutral—our words either build or destroy. Whether through sharing private information, repeating rumors, or revealing confidential matters, a person who misuses speech can damage relationships, communities, and ultimately themselves. The episode then uncovers a deeper psychological truth taught by the Talmud: people often criticize in others the very flaws they carry within themselves. A person's conversations reveal their true priorities, passions, and character. Someone who constantly discusses Torah demonstrates a love of Torah; someone obsessed with material pleasures reveals what occupies their heart. What we talk about is often the clearest reflection of who we are. Rabbi Wolbe concludes with a profound lesson on finding the good in others. Drawing from the symbolism of the new moon and stories from the sages, he teaches that every person possesses a "sliver of goodness" that deserves recognition and praise. Strong marriages, healthy relationships, successful parenting, and thriving communities are built by focusing on virtues rather than faults. The challenge of life is not finding flaws—they are easy to find—but training ourselves to seek out and magnify the good. _____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 2, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on June 1, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Sermon, 05/31/2026: The Outreach of Our Congregation

The Fast Lane with Ed Lane: Friday, May 29, 2026

Over 100 patients in four days, many of them experiencing a professional dental cleaning for the very first time. On this bonus Laurel Ridge Community College edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael connects via Zoom with a team live from Negril, Jamaica — Brandy Hawkins Boies (Director of Communications and Outreach at Laurel Ridge), longtime Rotarian Kathy Kantor, and three recent graduates of Laurel Ridge's dental hygiene program: Stacey Escobar, Dahye Seo, and Nataly Hernandez. The conversation traces how a casual hallway idea between a Rotarian and a college administrator a decade ago has become a fully-supported, equipment-rich mission program — built on Rotary global grants that converted a shipping container into a working dental clinic. The three graduates share what it's been like to put their fresh credentials to use in real-world conditions, the moments that made it click (one patient asked for a hug), and what's next for each of them. Plus: how community members can volunteer for free cleanings at the Laurel Ridge dental clinic in Middletown, and how churches and groups can join Rotary's ongoing trips to Jamaica. WHO'S ON THIS EPISODE • Brandy Hawkins Boies — Director of Communications and Outreach, Laurel Ridge Community College • Kathy Kantor — Rotarian (Strasburg Rotary Club); co-architect of the Rotary global grants funding the Jamaica dental clinic • Stacey Escobar — Recent graduate, Laurel Ridge Dental Hygiene Program (16 years in the dental field; heading back to practice in Burke, VA) • Dahye Seo — Recent graduate, Laurel Ridge Dental Hygiene Program (joining practices in Fairfax and Loudoun counties) • Nataly Hernandez — Recent graduate, Laurel Ridge Dental Hygiene Program (returning to Jamaica for a second mission trip in just a month) ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Laurel Ridge Community College Dental Hygiene Program admits 18 students every two years — a competitive cohort with a rigorous workload. Since 2018, graduates have had the option to participate in a post-graduation mission trip to Negril, Jamaica, working at a dental clinic established and equipped through Rotary International global grants involving Woodstock, Front Royal, Warren County, Winchester, and Strasburg Rotary Clubs, in partnership with the Negril Rotary Club. The Jamaican clinic is also open to other visiting dental teams and groups year-round. HOW TO GET INVOLVED • Volunteer as a patient — free cleanings at the Laurel Ridge dental clinic in Middletown help students complete their lab hours. Get on the waiting list for the next class (starting August 2026). • Support future mission trips — donations help cover flights, lodging, and supplies for graduating students. • Join a trip — Kathy and Byron (Brill) host teams in Jamaica three times a year. Churches and community groups are welcome. LINKS & RESOURCES • Laurel Ridge Dental Hygiene Program: laurelridge.edu/dental • Strasburg Rotary Club Facebook page  ALSO MENTIONED • Drone Show at Jim Barnett Park — Saturday • free admission • approximately 250 drones • details on Winchester City Parks' Facebook page THE VALLEY TODAY with Janet Michael — A decade of conversations.

In day 139 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe concludes the Gate of Slander in Orchos Tzaddikim by discussing the sixth and final dimension: speaking Lashon Hara about honest charity collectors and distributors. He explains how such slander is especially devastating because it discourages donations, harms the poor, drives away righteous fundraisers, and ultimately interferes with the holy work of tzedakah.Rabbi Wolbe shares inspiring personal examples of meticulous financial accountability from his grandfather during the Holocaust and his own work with TORCH. He emphasizes that Lashon Hara “kills three people” (speaker, listener, and subject), warns against associating with habitual speakers of slander, and teaches the dangers of even seemingly positive speech when said in the wrong context (such as praising someone to their competitor). The class closes with a powerful reminder about the tremendous value of every human being and the need for extreme caution with our words._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 28, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

The Los Angeles Astronomical Society (LAAS) is one of the oldest and largest amateur astronomy clubs in the United States, and this year, it’s turning 100. To mark the occasion, the LAAS threw a centennial star party on the lawn of Griffith Observatory, featuring 100 telescopes, a dedication ceremony, and a community of passionate skywatchers who showed up rain and all. In this episode, we sit down with Laura-May Abron, vice president of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society and chair of its Centennial Committee, to discuss what it took to put together the event. We drop into the centennial dedication ceremony to hear from LAAS President Keith Armstrong and Griffith Observatory Director Ed Krupp. We also spend time with some of the remarkable members who make this community what it is, including LAAS historian Louis Chilton, who has been a member for over 60 years, research scientist and LAAS member Bryce Bolin, self-taught optician and telescope builder Jeff Schroeder, and Geo Somoza, volunteer at The Planetary Society and one of the people who has dedicated his life to showing others the sky.

In day 138 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues exploring the Gate of Slander in Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the fifth dimension: speaking negatively about a Ba'al Teshuvah (penitent). He explains the profound spiritual transformation that occurs through genuine repentance — past sins are not merely forgiven but actually converted into merits. Therefore, reminding a penitent of their former wrongdoings is especially grave, as it mocks what have now become mitzvahs.Rabbi Wolbe stresses the importance of giving others the benefit of the doubt, not publicizing private sins, and judging favorably. He shares a powerful personal story of his own momentary lapse and immediate teshuvah, as well as a story about a rabbi who assumed a diabetic had eaten non-kosher food out of medical necessity. The class highlights how destructive it is to rob someone of their dignity and honor, and notes that true Lashon Hara (factually accurate negative speech) is often more damaging than false slander because it is more readily believed._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 27, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Most people quit their podcast right before it starts working. Not because the content was bad… because they couldn't see the compounding happening under the surface. Today we break down the one thing that has shaped everything BIZBROS has built... endurance. From three seasons of the 45 Live challenge to 700+ episodes of Content Is Profit, to $1M+ in services sold through relationships that started with a single conversation. But here's what took too long to learn: patience alone isn't the strategy. Content builds trust. Outreach closes deals. Run both engines at the same time… and your content becomes a real business tool, not just a brand builder. You'll hear real stories from this week: a studio referral that became a meeting, a cold Google call that became a closed deal, and a doctor on X who attracted the attention of Mark Cuban just by staying authentic and consistent. Don't quit at episode 50. The door opens! you just have to still be standing when it does.

What is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states' rights and protect the votes of American citizens? Some media pundits and activists are calling for "national popular vote" reforms. What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? Harry Roth, Director of Outreach at Save Our States, joined Linda to discuss this important topic. Harry shared historically grounded and constitutionally sound insights into how the Electoral College protects minority rights, prevents regional domination, and ensures that small and large states have a voice in presidential elections. The Electoral College provides a stabilizing force to ensure states' rights and citizen voices are protected. A clear understanding of the importance of this process is essential for every American who cares about the impact of their vote on the future of our country. Don't get swayed by headlines or emotional pleas. Learn the facts and protect your freedom.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

In this new series we explore the history of the Transmission of Torah from Moshe to our generation today. We explore different aspects of how the Torah Sh'bal Peh has been given over and begin to answer some heavy questions. Some accents and attempts at humor with to many references to Monty Python along the way. Enjoy

Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe of TORCH in Houston explores Day 137 from the "Gate of Slander" in The Treasure for Life (Orchos Tzaddikim), detailing six dimensions of those who speak Lashon Hara. He begins with the severe spiritual danger of slander, noting that the Talmud lists speakers of falsehood, Lashon Hara, and flattery among groups from which Hashem distances Himself. The first dimension involves speaking negatively about others — sometimes fabricating stories or slandering innocent people — and the Torah's prohibition against both speaking and accepting such reports. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes that accepting Lashon Hara makes the listener complicit, as silence signals agreement and gives the speaker credibility to spread it further. He shares a powerful story about a man who received charity for his daughter's wedding, only for the community to later discover the lavish event was funded by the caterer's personal gratitude for a life-saving favor from the bride's grandfather — a reminder not to rush to judgment without the full story.The episode continues with additional dimensions: speaking truthful but damaging information that causes pain (especially about someone's family or ancestors), publicly shaming others (which can cost one their share in the World to Come), and mentioning a person's family flaws behind their back to humiliate them in the eyes of others. Rabbi Wolbe stresses that every human being has immense value as God's creation, and lowering someone's “human value credits” through slander deeply displeases Hashem.

In day 136 of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues his study of the Gate of Slander from Orchos Tzaddikim (Ways of the Righteous). He explains why the Sages consider Lashon Hara worse than the three cardinal sins: unlike those sins, which stem from momentary temptation and allow for Teshuvah, habitual slander becomes normalized, minimized in the speaker's eyes (“It's just words”), and extremely difficult to fully repent because of the hidden, far-reaching damage it causes.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the practical devastation caused by negative speech — lost jobs, ruined marriages, damaged family relationships, and even generational harm — and the challenge of seeking forgiveness when one cannot remember everyone affected. He strongly criticizes modern media and comedy that casually destroy reputations under the guise of “journalism” or “just joking.” The class ends on an inspiring note about the tremendous positive power of speech: the same tongue that can destroy can also build, encourage, teach Torah, and bring people closer to God, as “life and death are in the hands of the tongue.”_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 25, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe begins a new chapter from Orchos Tzaddikim (Ways of the Righteous) on the Gate of Slander (Lashon Hara). He explains that Lashon Hara refers to true but negative speech about another person, distinguishing it from Motzi Shem Ra (spreading false rumors). The rabbi emphasizes how destructive such speech is — it harms the subject's reputation, damages relationships and business opportunities, and offers the speaker no real benefit, only a fleeting sense of superiority.Rabbi Wolbe highlights the extreme severity of this sin according to our Sages: speaking Lashon Hara is compared to denying God and is equated with the three cardinal sins (idolatry, illicit relations, and murder). He stresses that one must never bring up a person's past once they have done Teshuvah. A personal anecdote illustrates how easily Lashon Hara becomes the default topic in social gatherings, underscoring the need for conscious effort to avoid it. The class concludes with a powerful reminder from the Chafetz Chaim on guarding one's tongue to truly desire life and see good in others._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 26, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 24, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Pentecost and the Language of God Pastor Mark Havel Download John 7:37-39On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me; and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water.'” Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive, for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Christa and I spent a few days in Michigan and Northwest Ohio this week and laughed more than once about the colloquialisms, language, and accents of our people and of the places where we were raised: places and people who think mayonnaise and Miracle Whip are synonyms, I mean; people who say things like “Italian dressing;” and people who buy “pop” – not soda – at “Krogers” or at “Meijers.” I have disabused myself of a lot of that, although “pop” is and will always be “pop,” in my world.All of this is to say, I have language on the brain this Pentecost Sunday, and I wish I could speak more of them. My four years of high school and undergraduate minor in Spanish haven't lasted as long as they woulda, coulda, should have. I never did the much-needed “full-immersion” thing where I spent enough time living in and engaging with the culture of a people so that I could practice, speak, and learn that language, which is still more foreign to me than not.And I have traveled enough to regret my ignorance of and inability to speak other languages in very tangible, up close and personal ways. Of course, it would be nice to order the best food at restaurants and ask about and follow directions in a new city, but it would be most meaningful to communicate conversationally with people more deeply and more meaningfully, to worship, even, when traveling in other countries and cultures.Of course, I've noticed this most, over the years, in Haiti. There was a spell of about 18 months once, where I was in Fondwa three separate times, for a week at a clip, and, while I was nowhere near speaking Haitian Creole with any fluency, I did find that I could almost eavesdrop on conversations between my Haitian friends and just about make sense of, and anticipate discussions with, our translators as we lived and worked and spent time with our people there.And the hardest thing about this longing for language – the most convicting part of it all – is how so much of the rest of the world is at least bi-lingual; how, when I have traveled to places like Haiti, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Germany, and more, average bears in all of those places are able to speak my language – to engage me with patience and kindness and wisdom and generosity; how they're able – and so graciously willing – to meet me where I am and where I need them to be.Which is how I'm receiving the good news and invitation of Pentecost this time around: with that story from Acts and those tongues of fire and all of those languages, cultures, and nationalities ringing in my ears – along with Jesus' invitation to come to – and to become – living water for the sake of the world.See, I think our invitation as God's people – among so many other things – is to always be listening for and opening ourselves to the needs of the world around us. To not pretend that ours is the only way or the best way to do all the things. To remember – and to celebrate – that Jesus showed up for the sake of the world; that he very literally didn't speak our language; and that most of us here should approach him with deference and humility because we are utterly unfamiliar with the kind of life he lived – its poverty and low position in the grand scheme of the empire and power he so bravely, faithfully resisted, I mean.So, on this Pentecost Sunday, as we celebrate what many refer to as the birthday of Christ's Church in the world, and as we wonder about our call as wannabe followers of Jesus in that regard – and as a congregation of Partners in Mission, more specifically – I find myself wondering about the way we find ourselves looking beyond our own walls, into the hearts and minds, into the lives and longings of others, and speaking their language – if not literally, than spiritually … faithfully … lovingly … graciously – like Jesus did and like Jesus calls us to do, as believers from whom rivers of living water are supposed to flow.If you haven't seen the Greenfield Reporter article from yesterday yet, please check it out. They ran a lovely piece about the many places our most recent round of Building and Outreach grants will go. In addition to our continued support of Project Rouj, to build homes in Haiti, $45,000 are in the mail to places and people who live and speak very differently than we do in so many ways: impoverished communities of color in Louisiana, shelters and transitional housing ministries on the west side of Indy, recovery houses, rehab centers, and therapy for children with disabilities as far away as Guatemala.And you should know, if you haven't heard, that it appears our Summer Reading Program – with special invitation and encouragement for kids learning English – seems to really be happening. With a week and a half to go there are 11 kids signed up so far. And with last names like Perez, Garcia, Montalvan, and Mercano, we are all going to be speaking and learning and sharing grace in more ways and languages than just one around here. And I think it's going to be beautiful.And don't get me wrong. Let's not break our arms patting ourselves and each other on the back. We have plenty of work to do until there are at least as many Black and brown people joining us for worship on Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. and 10:45 a.m., as there are those who show up to the food pantry on Wednesdays between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.Which, again, for me, is at least part of the call of this Pentecost celebration and of the Pentecost season to come for us. It's about recognizing the scope of the Church's mission – our mission here at Cross of Grace and the mission of God's Church in the world, just the same. Our building project is about making room in a very literal way for more of God's children to join us here, to receive and to share the living water of grace so many of us have found in this place, with so many who don't know it exists. And the money our Building Fund's tithe will allow us to share to build homes in Fondwa, Haiti – each of which now includes a water cistern, by the way – will continue to share living water, literally – and so much more – with God's children in the poorest country in the western hemisphere.In addition to that, the General Fund commitments and the Time and Talent offerings I hope you're praying about increasing and adding to the mix next Sunday, will be continue to be used – not just for our own sake – but because we exist to love and serve our neighbor; and because the grace we proclaim, promise, and pour out in the waters of Holy Baptism around here, are for all people – ANYONE who is thirsty; and because when we do that in the spirit of Pentecost – when we get it right – we do it more faithfully than a lot of people feel comfortable and more graciously than enough churches feel called.My friend Jamalyn – who many of you know, too, as the founder of Project Rouj, the organization we support that builds all those houses in Haiti – she is fluent in Haitian Creole, having lived there for a couple of years, just out of seminary. I remember her saying once, on one of our trips to Fondwa, that it takes her a couple of days of being back in the country to feel like she's speaking fluently and communicating, in Creole, as fully as she likes; that it takes her a minute to get her bearings and back into the swing of it, but that she knows when that has happened, because she starts to dream in Creole.And I think that's just about the most beautiful, holy way to wonder about today's Pentecost good news: that we will know we're in the swing of it … that the Holy Spirit has hold of us … that we are speaking God's language … whether it's Haitian Creole, Spanish, German, Italian, or midwestern English … if and when we start dreaming in ways that inspire our capacity to understand, love, and serve all of God's children, wherever they may be and for whatever it is that they thirst.When we start dreaming about our longing to meet the needs of others before our own…When we start dreaming about ways God's kingdom can come alive among us and flow through us – not just for us – like so much living water…So that our generosity of time, talent, and treasure; our desire to worship, learn, and serve turns God's Church – and Cross of Grace as part of it – into nothing more and nothing less than a vessel for the very Holy Spirit of God's love, for the sake of the world, in Jesus' name.Amen

Living missionally as a family starts with recognizing where God has placed you and being intentional in those everyday spaces. Whether it is running errands, attending playdates, sitting at sports practices, or connecting with neighbors, each moment becomes an opportunity to reflect the love of Christ to others. What if we began each day asking God for divine appointments and open hearts to the people around us?How can we model integrating our values and faith by demonstrating practical ways to serve, give, and engage in the needs in our community? As we live this way, we're also modeling faith for our children. They're watching us learn what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just on Sundays, but in the everyday rhythms of life. Living missionally doesn't require grand gestures; it simply takes hearts that are willing to be intentional, obedient, and led by the Holy Spirit right where God has placed us.Resources Mentioned in Today's Podcast-The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson-The Hidding Place by Corrie Ten Boom-God's Smuggler by Brother Andrew-Gifted Hands by Ben Carson-George Meuller the Guardian of Bristol's Orphans

Ever been on the receiving end of a terrible sales pitch? Dave and Regan have — and in this episode, they're calling all of it out.As buyers who get sold to constantly, they rate the sales tactics that give them the ick, break down exactly why each one doesn't work, and give the remedy for every single one.The icks they cover:→ "Just following up" — the laziest email in sales and what to send instead→ The pitch slap — accepting a LinkedIn connection and getting sold to 3 seconds later→ Automated email cadences with zero personalization — and why they're killing your domain reputation→ Outreach without insight — product flogging with no relevance, no value, no reason to reply→ Jumping straight to demo without understanding who you're selling to→ End of quarter pressure tactics — "sign by Monday for a discount" and why it backfires every time→ The post-sale drop-off — why the best sellers never stop selling after the closePlus the outreach that actually worked on them — and won the job.Whether you're a founder, sales leader, or account executive — if any of these tactics sound familiar, this episode is your wake-up call.

Let me start with a number. 400. That's approximately how many cold emails I used to send per month at one point in my career. 400 a month. Roughly 13 emails a day, every day, to production companies, creative agencies, brand managers, you name it. Want to guess what my booking rate was? Zero. For months it was actual zero. And here's the thing. My list was good. I did my research. These were real companies, real decision-makers, real email addresses. My audio was solid. My website wasn't embarrassing. On paper I was doing everything right. And I had nothing to show for it. So today we're going to talk about what was actually wrong. Because I promise you, it wasn't my list. What Most Voice Actors Do When Outreach Isn't Working They diagnose the problem as one of three things. The list. I need more contacts, better contacts, contacts in a different vertical. So they buy a bigger list, scrape LinkedIn harder, join another directory, and then do the same thing to a different set of people. The email. My subject line isn't catchy enough. I'm too formal. I'm not formal enough. So they A/B test subject lines, rewrite the opener 12 different times, and maybe get a slightly better open rate but still no bookings. The demo. Maybe my demo isn't good enough yet. And then they disappear into a six-month loop of demo anxiety and never send another email. None of these things are the root cause. The root cause is a model mismatch. What Model Mismatch Actually Means The tool most voice actors are using for cold outreach, the email sequence, the automated drip, the I'll contact 500 people and some percentage will respond approach, that tool was built for a completely different kind of business. It was built for SaaS sales, for B2B software, for industries where you are selling a product that can be evaluated on a spec sheet. Voiceover is not that. When a creative director or a producer opens an email from a voice actor they're not evaluating a feature set. They're forming an impression of a human being. They're deciding, consciously or not, is this someone I want to work with? Is this someone I can trust with my project? Is this someone whose voice I want attached to my brand? That is a relationship decision. And you cannot automate a relationship. The sequence blast approach treats everyone on your list the exact same way. Same email, same order, same timing, regardless of who the person is or whether they've interacted with you before. That is the definition of treating people like they're interchangeable. And creative buyers are not interchangeable. They know when they're being mass emailed. They can feel it in the first sentence. And the moment they feel it, you've lost them. Here's the kind of opener these tools generate. Something like: "Hi first name. My name is name and I'm a professional voice actor with experience in commercials, corporate narration, and e-learning. I'd love to discuss how I can support your audio needs. Please find my demo at here." Nothing is inherently wrong with that. But that email could have been sent by literally any voice actor. There is nothing in it that is about the person receiving it. Nothing specific. Nothing curious. Nothing human. It's a form letter with your name in the subject line. And producers get hundreds of those and can spot them three words in. What Actually Works Here are three things I changed when I finally started getting traction from direct outreach. The first thing is I stopped treating the first email as the pitch and started treating it as the introduction with no strings attached. The goal of a cold email to a creative buyer is not to get a booking. I know that sounds counterintuitive but stick with me. It's not a realistic ask on first contact. The goal is to get a second interaction. You want them to click your link. You want them to hit reply. You want them to think, huh, I'll keep this person in mind. When you reorient toward that goal your entire email changes. You're no longer trying to close. You're trying to open the door. The second thing is I started doing exactly one piece of research per email. Not a deep dive, not a 30-minute rabbit hole. One thing. Maybe I noticed they just released a new product line and I mentioned it. Or I listened to the most recent audio content on their site and referenced it specifically. Whatever. It doesn't matter. One thing. That's all it takes to make an email feel like a letter instead of a flyer. The third thing, and this is the one most people skip, is I built my follow-up sequence before I sent the first email. Not after. Before. Because most bookings from direct marketing do not come from the first contact. They come from the third or the fourth. The person who opens your email on a Tuesday when their current voice actor just raised their rates and suddenly you're top of mind. That's the booking. But it only happens if you've been consistently, non-annoyingly showing up in their inbox over the previous few months. Follow-up is not pestering. Follow-up done right is just staying in the conversation. And the last thing, I include a custom piece of content with no strings attached. An MP3, a video, a PDF. Something that is actually useful to them. The Follow-Up Framework Here's the simplest follow-up framework I use and you can steal this directly. Email one is the intro. Short, specific, one ask, a link, custom content. Email two is when you have something new to say. A value add. A recent relevant credit, a class you took, an update you have. No ask. Just here's something that might be interesting to you. Email three is another value add but with a light ask. Hey, what do you have going on right now that I can help you with? I'm happy to send over a custom sample if that would be helpful. Light touch, no pressure. After that you move them to a low frequency long-term nurture, maybe once a quarter, and you keep going. Because the booking you get nine months from now from someone who barely noticed your first email is still a booking. The Bottom Line The problem wasn't my effort. I had plenty of effort. The problem was I was doing the right thing with the wrong model. I was treating a creative business like a volume game when it's actually a relationship game. The compounding effect of real outreach, specific, human, followed up, is completely different from the compounding effect of mass blasting. One builds a list. The other builds a client base. And that's the difference worth working for. The humanity in this industry is our biggest superpower. Capitalize on it wherever you possibly can. Want to Keep the Conversation Going?

In this inspiring episode for Shavuot, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe presents a complete overview and deep dive into the Book of Ruth (Megillat Ruth). Written by the Prophet Samuel, it tells the story of Ruth the Moabite princess who converts to Judaism out of genuine love for Naomi and the Jewish people, ultimately becoming the great-grandmother of King David and an ancestor of Moshiach. The book emphasizes themes of kindness (Chesed), loyalty, modesty, second chances, and personal commitment to Torah.Rabbi Wolbe highlights why Ruth is read on Shavuot: it shows the Torah is acquired through difficulty and dedication (not luxury), Ruth's conversion mirrors our acceptance of the Torah at Sinai (“Na'aseh v'nishma”), the story occurs during the harvest season (Chag HaKatzir), and it underscores the centrality of Chesed — the very foundation of the Torah. He also explains key halachic concepts from the book (Leket, Pe'ah, Shikcha, Yibum, Chalitzah) and powerful lessons about not running from challenges, embracing one's unique journey, and understanding that apparent setbacks often pave the way for redemption and greatness.To Download the Book of Ruth Outline: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z6J6Zcvl8EJ0R8s_nSGhzGxLV5uM81eb_____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on May 19, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on May 20, 2026_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

My apologies. I get emotional I get fired up and I get very raw. This is Shavuot like you have never heard, because we are living with anti semitism like we have never heard. Its time we fight fire with Torah fire! Also Reb Aron Kutler makes a deal with Joe Bananas the Mobster, Enjoy and Chag Sameach.

Olga Sunden, curator and publisher of the groundbreaking project Through Her Eyes, joins us to discuss a powerful new photography exhibition and album created by Ukrainian women who are both soldiers and photographers—capturing the war from inside it. The exhibition is currently on view in New York (May 13 – June 6), making this an especially timely conversation. Olga shares the stories behind these intimate, unflinching images, the courage of the women who continue to fight and document simultaneously, and the vital role of art as both advocacy and historical record. A Ukrainian-born American communications strategist and Director of Strategic Communications and Outreach at the American Ukraine Committee, Olga founded Through Her Eyes after training in tactical medicine in Kyiv and meeting one of the photographer-soldiers. She speaks with depth and passion about:Women documenting conflict from within war zonesResilience, identity, and purpose during wartimeThe challenge of keeping global attention on a war that continues every dayUsing lived experience to build cultural projects that preserve Ukrainian stories for international audiencesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

Send us Fan MailLeadership in healthcare simulation doesn't always come with a title or a roadmap. One day you're an educator or clinician, and the next day you're responsible for staffing, budgets, accreditation prep, outcomes, and the long list of “Can you also…?” requests that land on a simulation program. We sit down with two leaders who have lived that reality and built thriving programs anyway: Dawn Swiderski, Associate Vice President of Simulation Services at the Carolina Simulation Center at Atrium Health (now Advocate Health), and Cheryl Camacho, Director of Simulation and Outreach at Nationwide Children's Hospital.We dig into the shift from the SSH Directors Section to the Simulation Program Leadership Section and why that change is more than a rebrand. It's a move toward inclusion for people leading without the “director” label, whether you're new to simulation, stepping into management unexpectedly, or guiding a program through influence instead of authority. Dawn and Cheryl share how they listen to member feedback and turn it into practical support that actually matches what leaders need in the moment.You'll also get a clear tour of what's available through SimConnect: quarterly webinars, section meetings, and the highly popular couch conversations where members bring burning questions like simulation ROI, accreditation, costing models, policies, staffing allocation, and how to prove value with metrics and KPIs (including examples like Power BI). We talk about the underused SimConnect library filled with templates, forms, job descriptions, and recorded sessions that help you move faster, especially if you're tired of reinventing the wheel.If you lead any part of clinical simulation education, patient safety simulation, or simulation operations, this one is built for you. Subscribe, share it with a simulation colleague, and leave a review with the leadership topic you want tackled next.Innovative SimSolutions.Your turnkey solution provider for medical simulation programs, sim centers & faculty design.

We live in challenging and difficult times. There's a growing secularism in which there are many who have turned their back on God saying we don't need Him. As a result, there's an escalation of every man doing that which is right in his own eyes. Immorality is rampant, there has been horrendous crime, the level of fraud is completely off the charts, marriages and families are fractured, children have been turning against their parents, and parents against their children. The Apostle Paul told Timothy as recorded in II Timothy 3:13, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." Instead, he reminded Timothy of his having learned the holy Scriptures to make him, "...wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." He reminded Timothy that the Scriptures are inspired by God and they tell us what is right, what is not right, how to get right and how to stay right. He told Timothy to preach the Word, to proclaim God's Word. This past January we introduced you to an organized plan to blanket our nation's capital with the Gospel this summer as tourists flood into the city marking our 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. So much has transpired in the last 4 months since our guest was last with us and we've invited him back for an update. Dr. Alton Beal is the executive Director of DC Gospel Outreach. He is also an evangelist and is President of Ambassador Baptist College. Join Jim as he has Dr. Beal describe his efforts to blanket Washington, D.C., with this Gospel outreach as part of our nation's 250th birthday.

In this special message, we hear from three of Highland's Outreach Partners who are bringing hope and the love of Jesus to people locally and around the world. David Jordan shares about the work of Agape in Memphis, serving vulnerable and overlooked communities with compassion and care. Ron Wade talks about the ministry of HopeWorks and their new initiative, The Next Story, helping men leaving prison find housing, purpose, and hope in Christ. Nathan Luther gives an update from Bacolod, Philippines, where he and Karen continue decades of ministry through Shiloh Christian School, serving children and families in Jesus' name. Take time to listen and be encouraged by the many ways God is moving through these ministries.

What if people experienced belonging before belief—and community before commitment? Could a relational, Christ-centered shift in evangelism transform how the church reaches hearts today?
