Michael Blue serves as Director of Discipleship and former President of the Ron Blue Institute, and his life reflects a steady journey of learning to trust God with open hands. Raised in a home shaped by biblical financial stewardship, Michael developed strong habits around money early on. Yet it was in his thirties, amid professional success and financial security, that God exposed a deeper restlessness. What appeared stable on the surface revealed an inner hollowness, leading Michael and his family into a season of prayer, surrender, and renewed reflection on what faithful obedience truly means. In his current role, Michael focuses on forming biblical and practical financial wisdom in the next generation, particularly among high school and college students. He has also helped pioneer the 9:23 Fellowship, a discipleship journey that invites believers to take up their cross daily and follow Jesus in every area of life, including how they steward money, grow in community, and trust God's provision. Michael's calling is to help believers align their finances with wholehearted discipleship, viewing stewardship as worship and generosity as freedom rooted in trust. This episode creates space to rethink money, faith, and obedience in ways that feel both convicting and hopeful.   Major Topics Include: Learning to live openhandedly Thinking through savings as a giver Relying on God for provision Engaging younger generations through the Ron Blue Institute Helping the Church recognize and overcome greed and covetousness  Four H's of biblical stewardship for college students The difference between “bread” and “seed” Flourishing together in community Learning to be a good receiver Stretching your faith through steps of generosity QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Giving ought to be joyful and saving ought to be purposeful, but if it's just rote obedience, you can lose the heart behind it.” “God delights in inviting us to participate in His story.” “Stewardship is managing our money for the glory of God.” “Our capacity to meet people in their time of need all comes down to our margin of time and money.” “Whenever we feel like God gives us more, more often than not, it's seed for sowing.” “The most generous people are the least fearful people I know. They're not wracked with anxiety about providing for them in the future.” “We were made to flourish together in community.” “We're all created to be both givers and receivers, so a healthy church is one where I can both give and receive.” “The thing that drives us to a life of continued generosity is hungering after who God is, what he's done in our lives, and how we can grow nearer to HIm.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Ron Blue Institute (see our interview with founder, Ron Blue) The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns International Justice Mission (IJM) Journey to Generosity (JoG) with Generous Giving (see our interviews with cofounder, Todd Harper and CEO, April Chapman) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW 2 Corinthians 8-9 | The Macedonian Church   Matthew 6:33 | Seek First the Kingdom   But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.   Luke 9:23 | Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.

What if the thing you've been calling selfish is actually the very desire God placed in your heart on purpose?So many faith-driven women feel stuck not because they lack discipline or strategy, but because they feel guilty wanting more. More impact. More freedom. More income. More joy. Somewhere along the way, we learned that dreaming bigger meant we weren't trusting God. That planning meant control. That desire meant ego.In this episode, I'm breaking that belief wide open.I share my own story of wrestling with vision, disappointment, and the fear of hoping again, and how avoiding vision kept me stuck longer than any failure ever did. We talk about why God uses desire as guidance, how scripture actually supports vision and action, and why clarity doesn't pressure God, it prepares us to partner with Him.If you've ever felt afraid to dream again, unsure if you're hearing God correctly, or hesitant to admit what you really want, this conversation will meet you right where you are and invite you to something more honest, grounded, and faith-led.☑️ Why guilt around wanting more is not humility, it's conditioning☑️ How God uses desire as a lamp for your next step☑️ What “this or something better” really means when you trust HimIf this stirred something in you, subscribe and listen now. This might be the permission you've been waiting for.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Michele Henry, founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ, to explore how the facial industry is being quietly—but fundamentally—rewritten. What began as a personal frustration became a scalable solution: professional skincare that's consistent, accessible, and designed for real life, not just special occasions.After her third child, Michele found herself stuck between facials that were either overly luxurious, prohibitively expensive, or wildly inconsistent. She wanted results, education, and efficiency—without the intimidation. When that middle ground didn't exist, she built it. FACE FOUNDRIÉ's facial-bar model challenged long-standing spa norms by focusing exclusively on high-quality facial services delivered quickly, clearly, and consistently.A central theme of the conversation is accessibility. Michele rejects the idea that skincare should feel exclusive or confusing. Transparent pricing and monthly memberships make frequency possible—and frequency, she explains, is what actually drives results. Prestige may impress, but approachability scales.Behind the scenes, FACE FOUNDRIÉ's real innovation is operational. Standardized protocols ensure clients receive the same experience across locations, while personalization comes through targeted enhancements layered on top—not improvisation. Technology tracks treatments and progress, reinforcing consistency as a clinical standard.The episode also tackles a common misconception: that advanced at-home products can replace professional care. Michele makes the case that treatments and products work best together—services like dermaplaning, peels, and extractions create the conditions for skincare to truly perform.At its core, FACE FOUNDRIÉ is about emotional safety as much as skin health. Clients choose how they want to experience their facial—quiet or educational—in spaces designed to feel welcoming, not intimidating.Listen to the full episode to hear how Michele Henry is redefining professional skincare—making results-driven facials scalable, sustainable, and built for everyday life.Learn more about Face Foundarié on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Face Foundrie Overview(0:59) - Michele's Personal Journey & The Origin Story(2:16) - Reimagining the Facial Bar Model(3:23) - Early Trial, Error & Rapid Pivot(5:26) - Accessibility, Memberships & Breaking Prestige Barriers(7:16) - Results-Driven Protocols vs Luxury Spa Experiences(8:23) - Consistency, Personalization & Scalable Systems(10:26) - Franchising Face Foundrie & National Growth(13:35) - Technology, AI & The Future of Skin Care ExperiencesPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we sit down with Efrat Fenigson—independent journalist, public speaker, and host of You're the Voice—for a courageous conversation about sovereignty, power, and the systems that shape human behavior. Drawing from her lived experience growing up in Israel, Efrat speaks openly about identity, collective trauma, propaganda, and the psychological cost of questioning state narratives from within. From there, the conversation quickly widens to examine how control operates at a deeper structural level—through money. Efrat breaks down how the modern fiat monetary system erodes human agency and why Bitcoin represents a radically different model rooted in decentralization and personal sovereignty. This is a nuanced, unsanitized dialogue connecting geopolitics, psychology, sound money and a sober yet inspiring look at what it means to reclaim authority over your life in an age of control.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser (00:22) Opening Conversation (04:29) Guest Introduction & Personal Journey (09:02) Growing Up in Israel (16:51) Peace Activism and Political Realizations (21:06) Complexities of Israeli-Palestinian Relations (38:52) Understanding Sovereignty (47:51) Fraudulent Fiat Economic System (55:03) Fractional Reserve Banking Explained (01:01:08) Bitcoin…The Solution to Fiat's Failures (01:18:56) Bitcoin's Origins and Global Impact (01:23:50) El Salvador's Bitcoin AdoptionGuest Linkshttps://linktr.ee/efenigson Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

In this episode, I delve into the misconceptions about single women in the swinger lifestyle. Inspired by my friend DTF Tanya, I realized that not all single women are unicorns looking to hook up with couples.

I discuss the diversity within the lifestyle, such as people who enjoy parallel play or soft swapping, and emphasize the importance of educating oneself. I invite you to explore my free podcasts filled with interviews and insights from various perspectives in the lifestyle.
