BB28 Sunday Medieval Ep Recap, Week 8 Also available on YouTube. Big Brother 28 delivers another unpredictable night as the house deals with complicated twists and mounting uncertainty. Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong team up with guests Aman Adwin and Lovina Pavel for a lively Sunday recap, reflecting on the fallout of split competitions, shifting alliances, and confused strategies. This episode covers a jam-packed schedule interrupted by a mid-episode cliffhanger that leaves both TV viewers and live feed watchers in the dark. Dee wins the first round of the competition and must decide between saving Angela or Devens. Strategic conversations swirl about who to protect and who to put at risk, with Barrett, Drew, Melody, Yash, Taylor, and Lala each playing critical roles. Haley finds herself locked into a punishing gauntlet of backyard competitions on a scorching 113-degree night, ultimately becoming the key focus for eviction, though she gets surprisingly little screen time or story. Alliance strategies get shaken as the house navigates new rules, the compressed format, and live feed chaos, while players like Yash make risky moves to protect their allies and control their fate. Rob questions Dee's choice to save Devens over Angela, and wonders why Rick Devens doesn't negotiate harder for his own safety. Taran explains the math and confusion behind the twist-heavy competition structure and points out how the chaotic edits mask shaky production. Aman praises Yash for volunteering for danger to keep Taylor and Lala safe, calling it a high-risk, high-reward play. Lovina highlights Melody and Drew's awkward social dynamics, and notices the lack of compelling Haley content as she exits. Power in the house is shifting as Drew's HoH reign is squeezed from all sides, and the fallout from Haley's eviction leaves new cracks in the remaining alliances. With risky moves, fractured trust, and unfinished business after the cliffhanger, can Drew solidify his spot or is he set up as a target heading into the next round? Tune in to hear the full breakdown of Big Brother 28's latest twists and the gameplay behind the chaos. 00:00 Big Brother 28 Recap Begins 06:40 The Twist Announced: Feeds Down 14:10 Haley's Eviction and BB28 Strategy 23:15 Vets' Plan and Competition Dynamics 30:45 Yash Volunteers, Changing BB28 Game 38:06 Audience Draft and Yash's Move 46:50 Drew's HOH Dilemma in BB28 56:05 Eviction Targets and Veto Plans 01:02:00 Drew's Position With the Vets 01:05:45 Big Brother 28 Comp Guest Hosts 01:10:41 Closing: BB28 Twist Continues Never miss a minute of RHAP's extensive Big Brother coverage!

Labor day is next weekend, what projects will you be tackling? I'm sharing 4 steps to complete projects during these long weekends. Get ready to start planning what you will be doing next weekend.  It's Really Only One Extra Day You are really only getting one extra day, not a long weekend. Because you still have the normal tasks you do each weekend. Once you understand how much actual time you have then you can start to manipulate it. And a plan will help you to maximize your high energy times of the day. If I'm being generous, this long weekend will realistically result in 12 hours of time to complete projects. 4 Steps to Planning Your Long Weekend So the first thing you need to do is make a list. Start at your front door, walk through your house, and write down all the things you would do around your house if you were going to put it on the market next week.  I always encourage painting projects because historically paint is on sale for Labor Day. I'll be doing yard work and garage work as I shared in this episode to see how I am applying these 4 steps in my planning.  Then narrow down that list to what you will actually try to accomplish Labor Day weekend. Two stars next to the thing that you want to complete no matter what and one star next to the next thing you would like to accomplish. Simultaneously as you narrow down your list you will start making decisions. You may realize you need to clear out your car to transport something and you can decide where the things in your car, currently, will go so you can do this project. You will decide the colors you want to paint before you go to the store to buy it. Or maybe you need to ask someone else some questions to complete the project. Because I am looking at yard and garage work I am also considering the time of day and when it will be hot. Now that you have narrowed down the list and mentally prepped for the projects, you need to get the supplies you will need. Don't wait till the long weekend hits to get the supplies. You will use your high energy times at the store and take away time from completing the project. And lastly, eliminate normal weekend tasks. When I think about my yard work and garage work I want to get done Labor Day weekend, I think about my laundry and food related responsibilities.  I will plan pizza for Friday night as I watch Grayson play in the kiddie pool while I pick up sticks and weeds from the yard. We will use paper plates this weekend, what planned neglect can you implore? I will start my laundry Thursday night so I am not trying to switch the laundry on Saturday with my dirty hands from yard work.  I want you to even think about your Sunday Basket time.  This weekend maybe you can do double work to reduce your Sunday Basket time Labor Day weekend.  These four steps help you to realize the time you actually have. Reduce responsibilities eating up this extra day that you want for a project.  And reduce friction on project day. Plan your time and maximize your capacity.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Labor Day Checklist Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Are you paying your company's bills with your own money? If you own an S corporation, your company may be able to pay or reimburse those costs without adding the money to your taxable wages. In this episode, Tiffany explains how an accountable plan works. You'll learn which expenses may qualify, including business mileage, phone service, travel, education, and a home office. You'll also discover what records to keep and why reimbursement deadlines matter. One business owner was personally paying about $24,000 in company expenses each year. A better system helped her company cover those costs correctly and could reduce unnecessary payroll taxes over time. This practical tax strategy can improve cash flow and support tax reduction, but you must follow the rules. Listen now before you pay another business expense from your personal account.

What happens when the systems that helped your business grow become the things holding it back?For Rob Calvert, that question has become a central part of helping businesses navigate the realities of distributed teams.As companies moved from local offices to teams spread across states, countries, and time zones, the technology supporting them became increasingly complex. Devices need to be protected. Data needs to be secured. Employees need access to the tools they depend on. And workflows need to keep functioning even when the people using them may never meet in person.In this episode of Second Life Leader, Rob joins Doug Utberg for a wide-ranging conversation about distributed teams, cybersecurity, Apple-centric IT, software platforms, scalability, and the hidden complexity created when businesses build their operations around rigid systems.At the center of the conversation is a simple question:Are your systems flexible enough to survive the growth and change of your business?TL;DRThe goal isn't to eliminate problems. It's to understand which problems you're going to have and prepare for them before they become emergencies.Rob's perspective includes:* Distributed teams create new challenges around cybersecurity, devices, data, and intellectual property.* Avoid becoming completely dependent on one technology platform or vendor.* Balance user experience with security and scalability.* Moving data between platforms can be easier than recreating the workflows built around that data.* Every additional third-party tool can create another potential failure point.* Technology should support the way your business operates—not force your business into unnecessary rigidity.* Proof-of-concepts can expose problems and assumptions before implementation.* Complicated systems can make it harder for employees to consistently follow business processes.* Onboarding and offboarding become increasingly important as companies scale.* Major technology changes should be planned instead of compressed into an unrealistic timeline.* Sometimes the best immediate solution isn't making a bad situation perfect—it's creating enough room to eventually fix it properly.The goal isn't to build a system that never changes.It's to build a system that can change without breaking the business.Memorable Lines“You have to expect that some of these things are going to happen to you.”“You can't always win the battle. We very much believe you've got to pick the right tool for the job.”“There is no way to expand a business without something being painful.”“The technical decision is almost always the easiest one. Hardest one is the cultural impact and the work impact.”“Every time you have to insert a third-party app into a workflow, that is a place where you are dependent on them staying up to date.”“The worst way to deal with the problem is to ignore it.”“I can make your situation suck less, but I can't make it good in the timeline you're giving me.”Guest: Rob CalvertRob Calvert is the founder of Second Son Consulting, an Apple-centric IT consulting firm. He has been working in outsourced IT for more than two decades, helping businesses manage Apple environments, distributed teams, cybersecurity, devices, and technology systems.His experience includes helping organizations adapt as their teams become increasingly distributed and as businesses scale across states and countries.Rob also participates in the Mac Admins community, a global community of IT professionals focused on sharing knowledge, tools, and experience.Why This MattersFor founders, executives, and growing companies, technology decisions can look deceptively simple.Which platform should we use?Can we eliminate this subscription?Can we move everything into one system?Can we customize this workflow?But underneath those questions are people, processes, security requirements, company culture, and dependencies that can become increasingly difficult to change.A system that works for a small company may not work the same way when that company reaches hundreds of employees.A workflow that seems efficient today can become a bottleneck tomorrow.And a platform that appears cheaper can sometimes introduce additional tools, dependencies, and security gaps that make the overall system more complicated.One of the biggest ideas in this conversation is that the technical decision isn't always the hardest decision.The harder question is what happens to the people and processes around that technology.When businesses change systems, they're not just moving data.They're changing how people work.And the more complicated the system becomes, the more difficult it can be for employees to consistently execute the processes required to keep it working.For growing businesses, the lesson is simple:Don't wait until the system breaks to discover how difficult it is to change.Plan for the problems.Build flexibility into the system.And give your business enough time to make changes properly.You can't eliminate the pain that comes with growth.But you can decide whether that pain becomes a crisis—or simply part of the process of building something that lasts.Listen to the full conversation with Rob Calvert on Second Life Leader.

Episode Summary In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog are joined by guest Chutes as they dive deep into the realities of business coaching success, the psychology behind high-performing coaches, and practical frameworks for filling live events, recruiting talent, and building a business you could sell tomorrow (even if you never want to). The duo address why most business owners regret selling their businesses, how to break free from nervous system roadblocks, and the myths of retirement and "following your passion." Packed with street-level tactics and high-level mindset shifts, the episode is a must-listen for any coach wanting to elevate their impact—and their income. Key Topics Covered What Separates Struggling vs. Dominant Coaches Karl Bryan explains that action (not just planning) is what divides the mediocre from the masters 03:33. Struggling coaches obsess over lead generation; winners obsess over creating value, up-leveling their operating system, and honing a world-class deliverable 04:09. Why Most Exiting Owners Have Regret Karl Bryan shares the sobering stat: 73% of owners regret selling their businesses 07:27. The myth of the "big payday" vs. reality—a deal often means less cash, complicated earn-outs, and a shell of your former company 09:21. The right way to exit is building a sellable business, headhunting successors, and prioritizing tight contracts with expert legal help 12:01. Recruiting Top Talent in Any Industry For hard-to-hire trades, don't just post an ad—sell a vision, recruit from outside your market, and lead like a college football recruiter 16:01. The secret is to approach hiring as outreach, not just intake 13:16. Mastering Your Nervous System for Ultimate Performance The biggest blocks are psychological, not tactical—if you're stuck, look at your environment, self-connection, and relationships, not just your to-do list 18:29. Build meaningful connections, manage stress through self-awareness, and focus on root causes rather than just treating symptoms 19:43. The Real Meaning of Retirement & Passion Karl Bryan breaks down why "retirement" is often an illusion that leads to boredom, divorce, or addiction 28:14. Instead, shoot for "semi-retired for life"—keep a handful of clients you love and never truly stop delivering value 32:05. Don't chase passion blindly—excel at what you do, fall in love with service and progress, and your business will love you back 36:14. Karl's No-Excuses Blueprint to Filling an Event in Five Days Pick up the phone like your life depends on it, research new/local businesses, and genuinely care about the value you bring 43:34. Build high-energy connections, focus on helping vs. selling, and don't be afraid of rejection 46:05. Notable Quotes "Struggling coaches focus on what they earn. The best focus on what they learn." — Karl Bryan 06:52 "The magic is not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." — Karl Bryan 05:01 "High-end buyers buy on identity. Lower-end buyers buy off utility and desire." — Karl Bryan 05:53 "Healing your nervous system isn't about becoming someone new. It's becoming you again." — Karl Bryan 25:05 "'Do what you love' is overrated. It's 'love what you do' and master the process." — Karl Bryan 38:42 "Progress equals happiness." — Rode Dog, show close 58:30 Actionable Takeaways Focus on Value, Not Leads: Obsession with helping and delivering unmatched results outlasts any marketing hack. — Shift your attention to client outcomes and continuously improve your deliverable. Recruit Boldly: Don't wait for great hires to find you. Go out, tell your company's vision, and proactively sell A-players on joining—no matter the industry. Plan for an Exit You May Never Take: Build your business as if you'll sell, but with the strength and systems that let you walk away or stay for life. Address Mindset Before Tactics: If you're "jammed up," investigate your environment, relationships, and sense of self-safety. Connection, not isolation, is the real performance unlock. Ditch the Retirement Myth: Aim for "semi-retirement"—a hands-on, purpose-driven lifestyle with a few high-impact clients, not endless leisure. Love What You Do—Don't Just Chase Passion: Mastery, service, and progress are the foundations of a fulfilling business. Passion follows excellence. Fill Events Fast by Taking Relentless Action: Research every local business. Call with conviction. Focus on getting them in the room to help—not just to sell.

I AM: Seven Signs of the Savior "I Am the Door" (John 10:1-10) In John 10, Jesus makes a claim that both comforts and confronts: "I am the door of the sheep." Pastor Peter Finch teaches through the sheepfold imagery of the ancient Near East to show what Jesus meant, and why the religious leaders who first heard it were so unsettled. Jesus is the one door, and everyone who enters by Him is saved, kept secure, and satisfied, while false shepherds only come to take from the sheep. You walk away with a clear picture of who Jesus is as the door, and three honest questions to sit with: have you come through the door, are you trusting Him to lead you, and do you find your satisfaction in Him?

Daily Boost Podcast Awareness Is A Superpower August 27, 2026 | Episode 5529 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Most people drift through life without ever noticing what's really happening. They set goals, make plans, and then wonder why nothing changes. I found a fix years ago, and it takes about ten minutes a day. It's called the Daily Awareness Diary. Nine questions, asked the same way every morning, until you can't hide from the answers anymore. You're going to hate the name. You might hate the first few days. But by day four or five, you'll see yourself clearly, maybe for the first time in years. Give it a listen, then give it a try. Featured Story Years ago I kept running into the same wall with people I coached. I'd ask about their beliefs, their values, the actions they were taking. And they'd make it up, not on purpose. They couldn't remember. They didn't know. So I started thinking about personal trainers. They tell you to track your diet for a week before they build a plan for you. Nobody argues with that. I could do the same thing with a life. Track it for a week or two, read between the lines, and the answer shows up on its own. I built nine questions and handed them to my Face Your Passion group. What came back surprised even me. Important Points Ask yourself the same questions daily. The questions stay fixed, your life moves, and the real pattern shows up. Look back before you look forward. Yesterday's honest scorecard tells you exactly what you need to fix today. Plan your responses before the day starts. Decide how you will answer, and most of your stress vanishes. Memorable Quotes You can only write things down and make something up for a limited time until you see what is actually happening. If I can point your awareness in the direction it needs to be and then give you a way to make adjustments, we can. I am here to tell you, this silly idea called a Daily Awareness Diary changes everything and puts you in control. Scott's Three-Step Approach Start tomorrow morning by looking back at yesterday and deciding, honestly, how you feel about what you created. Then look forward and name what you will create today, instead of working through a list somebody else handed you. Finish with one affirmation drawn from what you just saw, and then do the same thing for fifteen straight days.

https://teachhoops.com/https://coachingyouthhoops.com/https://heysami.com/ SHOW NOTES Coaching Youth Hoops with Coach Steve Collins and Coach Bill Flitter Another one straight from the Coaching Youth Hoops Facebook group: what is the biggest character lesson you are trying to teach your players this season? The guys take it seriously, because as Coach Collins puts it, the life lessons taught through sports matter more than the sport itself. That only works if somebody connects the dots out loud. This episode is about how to do that on purpose instead of hoping it happens. IN THIS EPISODE 01:34 Sponsor love for Coaching Youth Hoops. If we do not have it, you do not need it, or we will build it. 01:51 The Facebook group is where the topics come from. Search Coaching Youth Hoops under Groups and drop your question in. 02:23 Hey Sami is coming this fall. One tool that pulls all your youth sports into one place and texts you the updates, with nothing to install. Waitlist is open, and there is a version for parents and a version for coaches. 03:25 Today's question from the group, and the first answer that made the guys laugh: ignore the refs and play the game. 03:57 Why Coach Collins coached as long as he did. The life lessons outlast the wins. 04:15 Connect the dots or it does not count. Growth mindset, and learning more from failure than from acceptance. 04:30 The son who did not make the college team, and why that was probably the better outcome. 05:02 The first business that failed, and what came out of it. 05:50 Where sports came from. Learning to win, learning to lose, learning adversity. 06:00 The uncomfortable one: a mediocre coach is a life lesson too. Kids will have difficult teachers and difficult bosses. Walk them through it rather than yanking them out. Abuse is a different conversation entirely. 06:36 Be a family. Win and lose as one. Why the kid who missed the last shot did not lose the game by himself. 06:57 Being on time was never about the clock. It was about responsibility. 07:12 What Japan's teams do to their locker room after a match, and why that image sticks. 07:44 Leave it better than you found it. Pick up the Gatorade bottles, even the ones that were there before you. 08:14 Getting along with people you do not like. Player to player, not just player to coach. You will work with them someday, so learn it now. 09:13 Plan your character lessons the way you plan your drills. Pick three or four you will absolutely pass on this season. 09:58 Then be ready for the ones that show up uninvited, because something always does. 10:26 We skip these because we think there is no time, or we think it is not our place. It is your place. It takes a village. 10:41 Tell the parents up front what you believe in. Nobody has ever pushed back on being kind or leaving a place better than you found it. 11:06 Life lessons are built into the Coaching Youth Hoops practice plans. KEY TAKEAWAYS The lesson does not land unless you name it. Connect the dots for them out loud. Failure teaches more than the outcome they wanted. Say that while it is still fresh. Pick three or four character lessons before the season and coach them on purpose. A hard coach, a tough teammate, or a bad break is training for the rest of their life. Leave it better than you found it. Small habit, enormous carryover. Share your beliefs with parents at the start. Almost nobody argues with kindness and responsibility.

On todays episode we have Grace Reiter on! We talk about the sucsess of her hunger games remake, remaking twilight, and we try to do some improv together. ENJOY!

In today's episode we talk with a pioneer of modern asset management, Dimensional Fund Advisors founder David Booth. David founded Dimensional in 1981 and it has since grown to over $1 trillion in assets, making it one of the most successful quantitative investment firms in history. We talk with him about his new book, Stay Calm: Learn to Embrace Uncertainty in Investing and Life. We discuss his early career working on both the world's first index fund and the first active quant strategy developed by finance legends Fischer Black and Myron Scholes. David explains why successful investing involves embracing uncertainty - because it is that uncertainty that generates long-run returns. He explains why we should abandon predicting markets and focus instead on planning. We end by discussing why he is both a realist and optimist and how each of us can cultivate the same mindset.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow David on LinkedIn and Read his Book.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why uncertainty creates opportunity for long term investors01:01 - David Booth's journey from Kansas to pioneering modern investing06:13 - The birth of index investing and the origins of Dimensional10:21 - Why investing is about managing uncertainty not predicting markets13:00 - Why everyone should own part of the market14:00 - Human ingenuity, market resilience and the lessons of history18:02 - Updating research without abandoning first principles23:38 - Has the rise of index investing changed the market?28:45 - Diversification beyond the Magnificent Seven29:52 - Tuning out market noise and focusing on what matters32:23 - Why life events should shape your portfolio more than headlines34:53 - Plan don't predict and learning to stay calm39:02 - Optimism, realism and why markets continue to work42:33 - Why investors have never had it betterCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to reinvent herself as an environmental philanthropist through the TerraMar Project, a nonprofit she founded in 2012 that promoted ocean conservation and protection of the high seas. TerraMar gave Maxwell access to respectable institutions and influential audiences, including appearances connected to the Council on Foreign Relations and the United Nations, while allowing her to cultivate a public image as an advocate for the oceans. But despite the ambitious rhetoric surrounding the project, questions lingered about how much tangible conservation work TerraMar actually accomplished. Its website promoted ideas such as treating the high seas as a kind of shared global territory and encouraged supporters to become symbolic “citizens” of the ocean, but the organization remained relatively opaque and its accomplishments were difficult to measure against the grand vision Maxwell presented publicly.The project became even more controversial because of Maxwell's longstanding relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, whose 2008 conviction and later 2019 federal sex-trafficking charges cast a much darker light on her philanthropic persona. TerraMar abruptly announced that it was shutting down on July 12, 2019, less than a week after Epstein's arrest became public, effectively ending Maxwell's attempt to establish herself as a prominent environmental advocate. By then, Maxwell herself was facing renewed scrutiny over allegations concerning her role in Epstein's world, including litigation brought by one of his victims. The collapse of TerraMar ultimately became another example of the respectable public identity Maxwell constructed around elite institutions and philanthropy while serious allegations about her conduct alongside Epstein were closing in around her.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Whatever Happened to Ghislaine Maxwell's Plan to Save the Oceans? - The New York Times

What if putting your family first all the time is actually making your life harder?   In this week's episode, Megan Sumrell and I are having the conversation more women need to hear.   Because "family first" sounds great in theory.   But what happens when it means your business gets the leftovers?   You work around everyone else's schedules.   You squeeze your business into the cracks.   You stay reactive because you're afraid to commit to anything too far in advance.   And eventually, you're exhausted.   We're talking about why you don't have to choose between being a great mom and building a business you love.   You get to prioritize yourself, too.   And sometimes that means your business comes first.   Sometimes your family comes first.   Sometimes YOU come first.   That's not selfish.   That's intentional.   In this episode, we talk about: Why "family first" can create more pressure instead of more freedom Why reactive businesses create exhausted business owners How to build a business around the season of life you're actually in Why women need to stop trying to do everything themselves The importance of having an identity outside of being a mom   If you've been giving your business the crumbs and wondering why it isn't growing the way you want…   This conversation is for you.   About Megan: Megan Sumrell is a Time Management Expert and creator of the TOP Program who helps overwhelmed women create harmony through planning systems built specifically for how women's brains work.

Reverse mortgages have carried a negative reputation for years, especially among Christians who are cautious about debt. But as with any financial tool, faithful stewardship calls us to understand how it works before deciding whether it belongs in a financial plan. Harlan Accola leads the reverse mortgage team at Movement Mortgage, a FaithFi underwriter. He joined the show today to explain why reverse mortgages remain controversial, how today's Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) differs from older products, and when it might play a useful role in retirement planning. Why Are Christians Hesitant About Reverse Mortgages? For many believers, the hesitation begins with debt itself. Scripture repeatedly encourages wisdom, contentment, and caution in financial matters, so borrowing against a home's equity can feel contrary to good stewardship. There is also the lingering reputation of earlier reverse mortgage products. Many people remember stories involving high costs, confusing terms, or homeowners facing difficult circumstances later in life. Accola says those concerns are understandable. “I felt the same way in the past before I understood them,” he said. But he argues that many people are evaluating today's federally insured reverse mortgages based on older versions of the product—or confusing them with other home-equity arrangements that work very differently. That makes it important to understand exactly which product is being considered and how its protections, costs, and obligations work. What Is a HECM? The most common type of reverse mortgage is the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM, which is insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Unlike a traditional mortgage, a HECM generally does not require the borrower to make monthly principal and interest payments. Instead, the loan balance typically grows over time and becomes due when the borrower no longer occupies the home as a principal residence, sells the property, or dies. The homeowner still retains ownership of the home and remains responsible for obligations such as property taxes, homeowners insurance, and property maintenance. HECMs also include protections designed specifically for older homeowners. Borrowers must complete independent counseling before obtaining the loan, and the loans are non-recourse, meaning the borrower or heirs generally will not owe more than the home's value when the loan is repaid. Certain eligible non-borrowing spouses may also be able to remain in the home after the borrowing spouse dies, provided they meet program requirements. Those features make today's HECM significantly different from some of the products that contributed to reverse mortgages' poor reputation in earlier decades. Turning Home Equity Into Retirement Flexibility For many retirees, a home represents one of their largest assets. Yet that wealth is often difficult to use without selling the property or taking on more debt. A reverse mortgage can potentially convert a portion of that equity into accessible funds. One possible benefit is improved monthly cash flow. Eliminating a required mortgage payment could help a retiree living on reduced income balance a budget without turning to credit cards or other higher-cost borrowing. Reverse mortgage proceeds may also provide additional resources for expenses such as home repairs, healthcare, or long-term care. A HECM line of credit can offer another form of flexibility. For example, retirees may be able to draw from home equity during a market downturn rather than selling investments after they have declined in value. Used carefully, that could give an investment portfolio more time to recover. Home equity might also help preserve other retirement assets for later years, a surviving spouse, or heirs. The goal isn't simply to access more money. It's to consider all the resources God has entrusted to us and ask how they can work together wisely. As Luke 16:10 reminds us, “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much.” Faithfulness includes not only how we accumulate resources but also how thoughtfully we use what God has already provided. Could a Reverse Mortgage Support Generosity? Accola has also seen situations where accessing home equity allowed retirees to give more generously during their lifetime rather than waiting for assets to transfer after death. That won't be the right choice for everyone. Giving should never come at the expense of maintaining appropriate provision for yourself or a spouse. But the example highlights an important stewardship principle: a home is not necessarily separate from the rest of a financial plan simply because its value is tied up in real estate. For some families, home equity may be another resource to consider prayerfully alongside savings, investments, retirement income, and other assets. Start With the Plan, Not the Product A reverse mortgage is not appropriate for every homeowner. Before pursuing one, Accola recommends beginning with the bigger financial picture. Ask questions such as: How long do we expect to remain in this home? How would a reverse mortgage affect our monthly cash flow? What costs are associated with the loan? How will we continue paying property taxes, insurance, and maintenance? How could the loan affect what we eventually leave to our heirs? Are there other resources available that might accomplish the same goal? How does this decision fit within our overall retirement, estate, and generosity plans? That last question may be the most important. A reverse mortgage should not be viewed simply as a financial product to purchase. It should be evaluated within the context of a thoughtful retirement plan. Working with professionals who understand both the technical details of the loan and the homeowner's broader financial goals can help families consider the tradeoffs carefully. Is a Reverse Mortgage Right for You? A reverse mortgage isn't for every household, and using home equity should never be an excuse for careless spending. But you shouldn't reject the product simply because of its reputation. For the right homeowner, a modern HECM may turn otherwise inaccessible home equity into a flexible resource for cash flow, retirement planning, long-term care, or even greater generosity. Faithful stewardship means looking carefully at every resource God has entrusted to us, understanding our options, and making decisions that serve the larger financial plan.

Now that she's found a home, the lender says she has to choose when to lock, with rates ranging from about 5.6% to 6.75%. How should she decide when to lock in her rate? I'm 78 and considering buying a $300,000 home in a 55+ community. I also own a rental property with about $88,000 left on a 4% mortgage, and I don't need the rental income to cover my expenses. Should I keep the rental or move into it? And if I buy in the 55+ community, how should I balance paying cash versus taking a traditional or reverse mortgage?

We are taught to forgive. But what happens when we forgive and reconciliation still feels impossible? In this Beyond the Notes conversation, Pastor Omar Edwards returns to Sunday's teaching on childlike forgiveness and opens Romans 12:16-21, what many Bibles call the marks of a true Christian. He draws a careful line between forgiveness, a one-way choice to release anger and the desire for payback, and reconciliation, a two-way road that needs both people to change, rebuild trust, and come back to the table. He walks through what it means to pursue peace, check our pride, and keep loving someone even when the relationship cannot return to what it once was. If you are carrying a broken friendship, a strained family tie, or a wound you have released but cannot yet see healed, this teaching offers a biblical way to think clearly and hold onto hope in a God who still changes hearts.

Protein Isn't Optional… It's Required“The Most Important Nutrient You're Probably Undereating (And Why It's Holding You Back)”Protein, protein, protein…You hear it everywhere.But here's the problem…Most people have no idea why it matters on a metabolic level.They just know they're “supposed” to eat more of it.And when you don't understand the why…You don't follow through consistently.That changes today.This episode breaks down what protein actually does inside your body…And why not getting enough is quietly sabotaging your energy, your metabolism, your recovery, and your results.This isn't about eating more chicken.This is about understanding how your body works… so you can finally start working with it instead of against it.Protein is not just another macronutrient.It's the raw material your body uses to build and repair:Muscle tissueHormonesEnzymesNeurotransmittersImmune functionNo protein… no optimal function.When protein intake is where it needs to be:You preserve and build lean muscleYour metabolism stays higherBlood sugar stabilizesCravings decreaseYou stay fuller longerRecovery improvesBrain function and mood improveThis is why people who prioritize protein tend to feel better, look better, and perform better.When protein is low:You lose muscle instead of preserving itYour metabolism slows downHunger and cravings increaseEnergy becomes inconsistentFat loss stallsRecovery suffersYour body becomes under-suppliedYou can be “eating less” and still getting worse results.That's the trap.Protein tells your body:Hold onto muscle. Burn fat. Stay strong.Low protein tells your body:Break down muscle. Conserve energy. Slow things down.That's not opinion.That's physiology.A simple, effective starting point:Aim for about your body weight in grams of protein per day.If that feels like a big jump…Start where you are and build up.Progress over perfection.This is where most people fail.Not knowledge… execution.Simple rules:Build every meal around proteinDon't wait until dinner to “catch up”Plan your protein ahead of timeUse shakes or supplements if neededIf you don't plan it… you won't hit it.The person who gets results…Doesn't guess with protein.They prioritize it.They don't “try” to hit their number.They make it non-negotiable.Protein isn't a trend.It's a requirement.If you want energy, fat loss, strength, recovery, and a metabolism that works for you…This is one of the simplest and most powerful shifts you can make.Set your daily protein target.Start building your meals around it.And prove to yourself that you're not the person who leaves results up to chance anymore.If this episode helped you…Share it with someone who's been “trying everything” but still not seeing results.Because this might be the piece they're missing.And remember:You don't get healthy because you lost weight.You lose weight because you got healthy.

Why would a loving church ever put someone out of its fellowship? On this Beyond the Notes episode, Pastor Russell Howard takes us past his Sunday notes on church discipline and into a real case history from the New Testament. Walking through 1 Corinthians 5 and 2 Corinthians 2, he traces how the church at Corinth confronted a man in serious, public, unrepentant sin, and how, about a year later, that same man repented and was restored. He connects it all to the steps Jesus laid out in Matthew 18. You will walk away seeing that church discipline is not about driving people away but about calling them home, for their good and the health of the whole church. For anyone who has wondered how grace and accountability fit together, this one brings clarity. Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com New to McGregor?

Matthew - The King has Come "Childlike Forgiveness" (Matthew 18:21-35) When Peter asked Jesus how many times he had to forgive, he thought seven was already generous. Jesus answered with a number meant to stop the counting for good, then told a story about a servant forgiven an unpayable debt who refused to forgive a small one. In this sermon closing out Matthew 18, Elder Omar Edwards traces the command to forgive continually, the parable of the merciful king, and the hardness of a heart that forgets its own rescue. Forgiveness at Christ's standard is beyond us on our own strength, which is exactly why it drives us back to the cross and the Holy Spirit's work in us. You walk away seeing your own blind spots more honestly, and freer to extend the same grace you have already been given.

Tiffany Vulcain grew up neglected by her parents, cycled through group homes and juvenile detention, spent her teenage years around gang life, and hit the streets on her own after turning 18 before a credit card scheme and the wrong group of people produced a five year federal prison sentence — and had to give birth in one of the most isolating and most institutionally indifferent environments available. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, she shares what a childhood defined by neglect, group homes, and juvenile detention really produced before the streets found her, what the federal prison sentence that followed the credit card scheme actually looked like from the inside, and what being pregnant in federal prison and giving birth behind bars actually required of a woman who had spent her entire life fighting to survive systems that were never built to help her. _____________________________________________ #pregnancy #prison #truecrimestories #pregnant _____________________________________________ Connect with Tiffany Vulcain: https://www.instagram.com/tjvulcain/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction and Tiffany's Story 00:22 Early Life and Foster Care 01:18 Life in Jamaica vs. New York 02:10 Dysfunctional Home and Abuse 04:19 Running Away and Finding the Streets 06:11 Entering the Group Home 07:19 Freedom and Life of Crime Begins 09:40 Gang Involvement and Acceptance 10:46 Teenage Arrest and Juvenile Detention 13:13 Inside the Juvenile Facility 14:14 Returning Home and Foster Care Again 16:03 Aging Out and Exploitation 17:16 Escalating Crime and Credit Card Fraud 20:08 How the Fraud Worked 21:45 Facing the Victims 23:42 Self-Perception and Morality 24:42 Getting Caught in Virginia 27:59 The Federal Investigation 29:13 Turning Yourself In 31:28 The Plea Deal and Decision to Not Snitch 33:47 Estrangement from Family 34:15 Arrested Again While Pregnant 35:43 Experiencing Rikers Island 38:00 Sentencing and Lost Self-Surrender 40:08 Transport to MDC Brooklyn 41:40 The MINT Program and Women in MDC 43:57 Husband and Baby Plans 45:08 Giving Birth in Prison 53:16 Compassion vs. Desensitization 54:20 After Birth: Hospital and Advocacy 56:20 Baby in ICU and Special Permission 57:42 Leaving the Hospital Without Baby 01:00:42 Returning to Prison in Depression 01:02:02 Danbury Prison and Transition to Male Facility 01:04:12 Fight and Transfer to Philadelphia 01:07:23 The Shoe and Diesel Therapy 01:10:01 Flight with Chris Brown 01:11:42 Visits and Regret 01:12:24 Life in Philadelphia and Self-Discovery 01:14:00 Another Fight and Return to Brooklyn 01:15:20 Coming Home Without a Plan 01:16:00 Post-Prison Struggles and Betrayal 01:17:20 The Turning Point 01:19:20 Healing and Rebranding 01:20:14 Finding Purpose in Re-entry Work 01:22:51 Current Success and Roles 01:24:10 Message to Younger Self _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

When will we actually be back in the worship center?   Mark, Tamar, and Christian give the honest two part answer. A certificate of occupancy is one milestone. A room ready for a thousand people on a Sunday is another, and the audio, video, and lighting install is the biggest piece left. Best case is sometime in November.   From there the conversation turns to the fall calendar. GriefShare starts Sunday at 12:30 PM in Faith Building room 174. DivorceCare meets Tuesdays at 6:00 PM, and it is not too late to join. Parent and Child Dedication is Friday, September 11, and registration closes August 26. The Know The Word Conference is September 18 and 19 with Dr. Greg Lanier. Prayer and Praise night is Wednesday, September 30.   If you have been wondering what is next at McGregor, or you know someone carrying a loss, this one is worth twelve minutes.   Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com New to McGregor?

A love of words, stories, and cloth led Karen Elting Brock around the world and back to PieceWork. ”All This by Hand” appeared on the first covers of PieceWork magazine, intended to capture the scope of material between the covers. Stitching, lacemaking, and other needlework, certainly, but other handwork, fashion, and the artisans who created the work all found their way into the pages of the magazine. The scope of the project—worldwide, from historical to contemporary, from anonymous to celebrated—has made it beloved by its readers and also difficult to explain. All this by hand, indeed. Karen Elting Brock first joined the staff of PieceWork in 2010, working with authors who were artisans or had stories to tell. From her desk, she pored through the collections of international museums and chased down photographers for just the image that would tell the story of a textile. After several years on the editorial staff, she moved on to experience global stories for herself, living in (and sending dispatches from) Nepal, Morocco, and other international locations. Even (or especially) in remote villages, textiles and makers continued to find her. In 2025, Karen was ready to return to Colorado, and PieceWork welcomed her to the editor's seat. As of recording time, Karen has brought some of her ambitions for the publication to fruition—she's especially excited about the Fall 2026 Museum Issue and the new reader-fed international museum directory—but she has a list of other ideas she's eager to explore. In this episode, we explore some of her favorite textile stories and some of her plans for the future.

What did Jesus mean when He told a crowd to eat His flesh, or told a crowd of would-be followers to hate their own father and mother?   Recorded at a Hot Topic night hosted by McGregor's Journey Together ministry, this teaching opens a short series on the hard sayings of Jesus. Pastor Russell Howard lays out three ground rules for reading them well, then works through the bread of life discourse in John 6, the call to discipleship in Luke 14, and Jesus' words about a sword and a divided household in Matthew 10.   The takeaway is straightforward. Jesus meant to be understood, and when a saying is hard, the difficulty usually sits with us rather than with Him. If you have ever read past a verse because it unsettled you, this teaching is worth your time.   Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com New to McGregor?

Live August 21, 2026  | Yaron Brook Show(Season 12, Episode 141)Stanford Lets a Socialist Define Capitalism -- Answering Chiara Cordelli | Yaron Brook ShowWatch Now: https://youtube.com/live/RdW7wmHwW6wA political philosopher stood in front of Stanford students and told them capitalism's real sin isn't exploitation — it's that free people get to decide their own future without asking permission first. Nobody in that room challenged her. Yaron Brook does.Chiara Cordelli says the "wrong" of capitalism isn't profit, isn't inequality, isn't even exploitation — it's that private investors, not the collective, get to decide what the future looks like. Her fix? Democratize investment. Plan it. Take that decision out of your hands and put it in the state's.Yaron Brook takes her argument apart at the root: capitalism was never an "investment system," it's a rights system — the first social order in human history built on the principle that force has no place between people. Cordelli isn't describing a flaw in capitalism. She's describing the thing that makes it moral, and she wants it gone.If you've ever wondered how elite universities keep producing "sophisticated" cases for socialism dressed up in academic language, this is the episode that shows you the trick — and the answer.Timestamps 00:00 — Cold open: Why a Stanford philosopher's "critique" of capitalism is really an argument for central planning 06:30 — What capitalism actually is — and why markets and competition aren't it 14:15 — Cordelli's real claim: capitalism "alienates" you from control over the future 23:40 — The switch — "alienation" is just exploitation with a Ph.D. 32:10 — Why "democratizing investment" means putting a gun behind every business decision 41:00 — Individual rights vs. collective control: the actual fight nobody at Stanford will name 50:25 — How elite academia launders socialism as "normative political theory"
