Elisabeth originally presented this talk at the Moody Bible Institute Founder's Week, on February 6, 2001 This recording is the result of our work digitizing over 600 cassette tapes of Elisabeth's talks. Each tape is decades old and the quality of the recordings varies quite a bit from tape to tape. As we preserve Elisabeth's legacy, we will share as much of her work as possible, even when technical issues affect the quality of the audio. Each talk is unique in content and tone. All are a blessing and encouragement. -- Music by John Hanson
Episode #1090 Most men don't realize they're drifting until it's already been years. Life feels "fine" on the surface, business is steady, the marriage isn't falling apart, the kids are growing up, but deep down, you know something's off. That fire, that drive you once had? It's gone. In this episode, Doug and Tim break down what "the drift" actually is, how it silently pulls high-performing men into a rut, and why so many stay stuck for years. They unpack how good habits and strong traits can eventually trap you, why predictability is a relationship killer, and what it takes to reset your life without blowing everything up. You'll hear real stories of men who looked successful from the outside but were checked out on the inside. We cover how guilt, routine, and the "nice guy" trap keep men playing small. There's also a clear reason why going it alone rarely works. You need challenge, you need truth, and you need it from other men who've already done the work. This isn't about hype or hacks, it's about getting honest with where you are and what you're actually here for. If you're ready to break out of the drift and want a clear plan to get your passion, power, and connection back, check out the free training at fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales. It's a simple first step, but it'll show you exactly what's broken and how to start fixing it.
In this episode, Rebecca Olson shares how balance is not about perfect time management but about presence, clarity, and values. She explains how working moms can stop living in constant mental overload, avoid burnout, and create a version of success that allows for both ambition and family connection. In this episode, they discuss:Why balance feels different for every womanHow motherhood often triggers a deeper identity shiftThe role of vision and values in creating sustainable balanceWhy burnout is usually a slow build, not a sudden crashThe importance of prioritizing presence at work and at homeHow guilt and resignation keep women stuckWhy moms should not feel forced to choose between career and family This conversation is a powerful reminder that balance is not something you achieve perfectly but something you feel when your life aligns with what matters most.

Why do most New Year's resolutions fail by week three? Often because we don't really connect with those resolutions. In this episode, we'll build on our self-connection series to see how that work of connecting with our true self can inform goals that we're more likely to achieve. We'll focus on a two-step framework for goal achievement: fit (goals that match your authentic values) and grit (sustained effort that doesn't lead to burnout).

Préparez-vous à recevoir votre dose quotidienne d'inspiration.L'année dernière, pendant Equita Lyon, nous avons eu l'honneur de nous entretenir avec l'un des plus grands cavaliers de notre génération : Ben Maher. Pendant près d'une heure, nous avons parlé avec lui de sa carrière, de son chemin vers le haut niveau et de tout ce qui a marqué sa trajectoire de cavalier. Je me souviens être repartie de cette conversation profondément inspirée.Nous connaissons tous Ben Maher : le champion olympique, numéro un mondial, le brillant cavalier d'Explosion W. Mais très peu d'entre nous connaissent l'homme derrière les médailles. Le jeune cavalier qui s'est battu pour continuer son sport. Qui a dû trouver des moyens de rester dans le sport, pour pouvoir continuer de participer à des compétitions, pour aller au prochain concours.Quelle leçon puissante que d'entendre quelqu'un au sommet parler si ouvertement des défis, des doutes et des moments où tout semblait incertain.Nous sommes extrêmement reconnaissantes à Ben d'avoir pris le temps de parler avec nous, car il est très rare, on le sait, qu'il accepte des interviews. Mais surtout, nous le remercions pour son honnêteté et pour avoir partagé avec nous, avec vous, ce qu'implique et exige le sport de haut niveau.Hébergé par Ausha.

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “People can see themselves in Jane's journey — that everyday person who realizes they can build wealth by investing in entrepreneurs.” In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike welcomes back Karen Rands, leader of the Compassionate Capitalist Movement and author of Inside Secrets to Crowdfund Investing. Karen shares how her decades in angel investing inspired her newest book, a relatable, story‑driven guide that follows “Jane,” a fictional but very real composite of the many people yearning for a smarter, more meaningful way to invest. Karen breaks down the wealth‑building power of equity crowdfunding, why everyday people (not just the ultra‑wealthy) can become investors, and how purpose, passion, and profit can, and should, align in your investment strategy. Key Themes: Angel investing isn't as exclusive as people think. Karen explains that despite being around for 80+ years, most people — even wealthy professionals — have never heard of angel investing or equity crowdfunding. Her newest book teaches through storytelling. Unlike her dense first book, Karen's new one follows “Jane,” a fictional every-person who learns how to invest responsibly and thoughtfully in entrepreneurs. Crowdfund investing is accessible. You don't need $25K checks to get started — many platforms allow investments as small as $100 to $2,000, making it a real option for non‑accredited investors. Diversification is the secret weapon. Karen warns that the “kiss of death” is investing in only a few deals. Building a portfolio across stages, industries, and structures is essential. Emotion kills good decision‑making. Her advice: don't chase excitement. Learn the fundamentals, understand your criteria, and avoid investing purely on impulse. Anyone can start learning — today. From her book to her crowdfunding e‑book, upcoming webinars, and the new Compassionate Capitalist Academy, Karen offers plenty of ways to get educated.

On this week's episode of The Joy of Football, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett begin with a deep dive into one of the games of the season - Arsenal 2–3 Manchester United - a dramatic Premier League clash that delivered late twists, big moments, and plenty to debate. In Explain That, the guys break down the key incidents from the match, including decisions, officiating, and the role of a brand-new referee in one of the toughest fixtures imaginable. Martin reflects on how games like this feel from the gantry, and why momentum, timing, and emotion can shift so quickly at the highest level. Elsewhere in the episode, Three of the Best features players from Manchester United, Austria and Portugal, with discussion spanning clubs including Celtic, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Fulham. Neil's Voice of Passion focuses on exactly that — what passion means in football, how it shows itself, and why it still matters so much to players, supporters and those watching from the stands. And in Letter From The Gantry, Martin delivers one of his most memorable reflections yet — looking back on the final January England fixture, and why certain matches stay with you long after the final whistle. A wide-ranging episode built around a classic Premier League encounter, full of insight, debate and storytelling from the gantry. #Ad Find out more about St James Place here! https://www.sjp.co.uk Join Neil Barnett (former Chelsea touch-liner announcer and football journalist) alongside the voice of the Premier League, Martin Tyler in celebrating the greatest addiction in the World!

Jeremy Wendt sits down with Trey Upchurch, Supervisor of Coordinated Health and Student Services for the Putnam County School System, to talk about the journey that shaped his passion for education. Growing up in Jamestown, Tennessee, Trey followed his family's long line of teachers before studying education at Roane State Community College. He later stepped into the Air Force, where traveling across the world gave him an eye-opening perspective far beyond small-town Tennessee. Trey reflects on how those experiences strengthened his mission to support students' health, well-being, and overall success.

But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14, ESV). What excites you and drives your passion? Being made in the image of God means that we all possess a unique passion. The vital question we must ask ourselves is: Is my passion directed inward, or does it fuel me to pursue Christ and His purposes? Our drive and passion for the Lord and His Kingdom are closely tied to our devotion to Him, revealing our purpose of knowing Christ and serving Him. Most of all, reading and studying the scriptures should fuel our passion because it sets our eyes upon the Lord and helps us take our eyes off of ourselves. What motivates your drive towards Christ? For the Apostle Paul, it was the prize of the upward call of God: “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:12-14, ESV). Intersecting Life & Faith: We can remind our hearts that if we are born again, Christ purchased our lives for a purpose and has made us His own. He did this so that we would bear fruit for His glory. Christ reached down and rescued me, so I should always be reaching for Christ. We press on to know Christ relationally and serve Him faithfully, and we must press on even more when we feel weak. We can look to Christ and ask for strength to keep going, and He will be faithful to give us His abundant grace. We shouldn’t be entangled by our past sins, sorrows, or even successes, as these things will distract us and hold us back from pressing on in our pursuit of Christ and His purpose. If you are lacking in passion regarding the things of God, perhaps you can write down some temptations and convictions regarding distractions that may be draining your zeal for the Lord. It is easy to become entangled by worldly pursuits, but God’s grace is available to us to turn away from anything that would keep us from running hard after Christ. May the Lord give us zeal and an increased pace and an increased engagement in Kingdom pursuits as we press towards the prize. Ultimately, Christlikeness is our prize. Let us seek the Lord and ask Him to increase our passion to become more like Him! He is faithful to give us more zeal, especially if our aim is that He would receive all the glory, not ourselves. Are you reaching for the upward call, longing to become more Christ-like in your pursuits and in the fruit of your life? What worldly pursuits might be hindering you from being conformed to the image of Christ? Let us not resist the call to take up our cross and follow Jesus. Our flesh is weak, but we must trust that we can find strength and grace in Christ to keep pressing forward, straining for the prize. Ask the Lord to ignite a zeal in your soul for God and His Kingdom. In your striving and running, we must trust that God chooses the pace as we move forward, linking arms with other believers. He empowers us with His Spirit and is faithful to complete the work He has started. Run your race for God’s glory, fixing your eyes on heaven.

In Episode 310 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Anders Liu Lindberg, a global thought leader in business partnering and one of the strongest voices shaping the future of finance today. Anders has built a reputation for turning finance teams into strategic powerhouses, helping CFOs and finance leaders move beyond reporting and compliance into real influence, better decision making, and measurable business impact. This conversation is a masterclass in why finance must evolve, and why the professionals who learn to partner with the business will become indispensable.Anders breaks down what business partnering actually is, why most finance teams struggle to earn a seat at the table, and how influence and communication are now just as critical as technical skill, especially as automation and AI accelerate. You will also hear Anders' philosophy on purpose, fulfillment, and building authority through consistency, the same mindset that helped him grow into one of the most trusted educators in the space. If you want to understand where finance is headed and why Anders is leading that change, this episode delivers.Key Takeaways: 1. Finance earns a seat at the table when it shows up to help leaders win, not to police budgets. 2. Business partnering is when functional experts translate their expertise into insights leaders can understand and use for better decisions. 3. Insights alone are not enough, because if you cannot influence decisions, your impact becomes zero. 4. The fastest way to build trust is to lead with empathy and partnership: “How can I help you meet and beat the budget” changes everything. 5. If finance shows up as the cold messenger of bad news, leaders will avoid them, but if finance shares ownership of outcomes, leaders will pull them closer. 6. AI and automation are shrinking the value of pure number crunching, so finance must get better at people skills like communication, relationship building, and influence. 7. You can teach “numbers people” to become stronger with people by giving them structure, tools, and repeatable frameworks they can practice. 8. Leaders should not just tell finance to “be strategic” and figure it out, they need to invest in training and create a clear path for that transformation. 9. Personal branding is not a hack, it is consistency plus authenticity over time, and your voice cannot be “wrong” when you are sharing real experience and perspective. 10. Passion comes and goes, but purpose creates staying power, and purpose plus passion is where fulfillment and long-term momentum come from. About Anders Liu-Lindberg: Anders Liu-Lindberg is a global thought leader in business partnering and finance transformation, helping finance teams evolve from reporting and control into strategic partners who drive real business outcomes. He runs the Business Partnering Institute, a worldwide hub for training, tools, and community built to raise the influence and impact of finance leaders (https://www.bpidk.org/), and he's also the author of Communicating Financials to Executives, a practical guide for turning numbers into clear, decision driving communication at the executive level (https://www.amazon.ca/Communicating-Financials-Executives-Anders-Liu-Lindberg/dp/1394292600).

Read OnlineWhen Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee… From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:12, 17When John the Baptist was arrested, his followers were likely overcome with fear and grief. The man they revered as a prophet, who fearlessly proclaimed the coming of the Messiah and called for repentance through baptism, had been imprisoned. John was arrested by Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great, infamous for ordering the massacre of infants in Bethlehem. Like his father, Herod Antipas was ambitious and morally corrupt. As tetrarch of Galilee and Perea under Roman authority, Herod's political survival depended on maintaining Roman favor. He often used religion to secure legitimacy among the Jewish people, though his actions routinely violated Jewish law.Though nominally Jewish, the Herodian dynasty was of Idumean descent, tracing its lineage to Esau rather than Jacob. The Idumeans were forcibly converted to Judaism between 135–104 BC. While this history granted the Herods a claim to Jewish identity, their foreign lineage and collaboration with Rome made them unpopular with many Jews. Herod Antipas, like his father, prioritized political cunning and personal ambition over genuine adherence to Jewish law.When John the Baptist emerged on the scene, he proclaimed his message with fearless conviction. His central call was one of repentance and baptism for the forgiveness of sins, urging the people to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. Yet John did not shy away from addressing the moral and spiritual corruption of his time. He famously denounced the Pharisees and Sadducees as a “brood of vipers,” rebuking their hypocrisy and lack of genuine repentance. John also boldly condemned Herod Antipas for violating Jewish law by divorcing his wife and marrying Herodias, the wife of his half-brother, Philip. This marriage not only violated Mosaic Law but also reflected Herod's ambitions to consolidate power and status. John's fearless denunciation of sin, even among the powerful, ultimately led to his arrest and eventual martyrdom.This historical context surrounding John's arrest is crucial because it helps us understand God's providence—how He permits certain evils to occur in order to bring about a greater good. Jesus Himself later affirmed John's greatness, saying, “Among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Baptist” (Matthew 11:11). If the Son of God declared John's greatness shortly after John's arrest, why didn't God miraculously free him from persecution? The answer lies in John's mission. He had fulfilled his primary role: preparing the way for the Lord, the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Once John's mission was complete, God permitted him to seal his testimony with his own blood, offering his life as a martyr for the Lord and for the Truth that sets all people free.Reflect today on John's arrest and consider how you might have reacted if you had been one of his disciples. From an earthly perspective, martyrdom is difficult to comprehend or accept, especially in our own lives or in the lives of those we love. Though John's arrest and subsequent martyrdom likely brought fear and grief to his disciples, shaking their sense of security, from an eternal perspective, John's martyrdom was his greatest act of witness. It fulfilled his mission by pointing his disciples—and all of us—toward the true Prophet and Messiah, Jesus Christ. John is forever glorified in Heaven, and in the end, that is all that truly matters. As we honor John's unwavering faith, seek to embrace God's permissive will in your own life. Even in the face of suffering or evil, trust that God, in His providence, can bring about a greater good if we surrender ourselves fully to Him.My provident and loving God, You permit evil to touch the lives of Your faithful followers, knowing that in Your perfect Wisdom, You can bring forth a greater good. Grant me the heart of a martyr, filled with courage and trust, whenever I face injustice in my life. Help me to unite my every trial to Yours, in imitation of Saint John the Baptist and Your own Passion and Death. Jesus, I trust in You.ImageSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In today's episode, you'll learn how to get motivated, even when you don't feel like it. If you feel unmotivated, scatter brained, or exhausted… If you keep reaching for your phone, wine, or the remote even when you want to stop… If you're frustrated with yourself for lacking discipline…. This conversation will help you stop wasting time and finally understand why it's so hard to do the things you know you should do. Joining Mel today is Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, who is the world's leading expert on dopamine and compulsive behavior.

Dr. Lembke walks you through the science of dopamine, pain, pleasure, and motivation, and shares a practical protocol for rebuilding focus, energy, and self-control in a world designed to hijack your attention. In this episode, you'll learn: -The “pleasure–pain seesaw” that explains why you keep reaching for the thing you swear you're done with -How dopamine really works (and why chasing pleasure backfires) -The hidden reason scrolling, snacking, and multitasking make you feel worse, not better -The simple but powerful way to rebalance pleasure and pain -What to do when you feel stuck in compulsive habits you “can't quit” This is not a conversation about shame, addiction labels, or self-control.
