Have you ever thought about how one word from you could shift someone's entire day, maybe even their life? In this episode, I break down what it truly means to become an encourager and why the world desperately needs you to step into that role. This isn't about throwing out empty praise or casual compliments. It's about choosing to infuse courage into others with honesty, specificity, and presence, and in the process, watch your own confidence and self-esteem rise. I share why encouragement is “oxygen for the soul,” how it creates ripple effects far beyond what you see, and how it becomes a seedbed for your relationships, your leadership, and your purpose. We talk about how encouragement isn't tied to someone's results but to their effort and character, and why you need to be the person who notices and speaks into the small moments others overlook. It's not just about making people feel good; it's about transferring belief and equipping people to believe they can take the next step in their climb, even when they can't see the top of the ladder themselves. If you want to stand out in a world full of critics, this episode will call you up to be different. This is your moment to decide to become the kind of person who changes lives, one conversation at a time. Key Takeaways: Why encouragement is about “infusing courage” and not just complimenting others How encouragement builds your own self-esteem while lifting others The difference between flattery and authentic encouragement How to encourage effort and character, not just results The ripple effect of becoming an encourager in your family, friendships, and business Practical examples of encouragement that build others' belief in themselves When you finish this episode, choose one person to encourage today. Watch how it changes them—and how it changes you. Max out.

“Your soul doesn't run on human time. It runs on sacred time.” What if the pressure you feel to “hurry up” and have it all figured out… is based on a lie? In this episode of Soul Talk, I dive into one of the most painful illusions we've been taught: the belief that we're behind in life. Whether it's love, purpose, abundance, or healing, many of us are carrying a quiet grief. Grieving the timeline we thought we should be on. The milestones we expected to hit by now. The version of life our ego mapped out, but our soul never signed off on. We compare ourselves to others. We ask, “Did I miss my moment?” “Am I too late?” But here's the truth: You are not late. You are right on time. In this episode, I get real about what it means to trust your soul's divine timeline, even when things feel delayed, quiet, or unclear. I unpack how societal pressure, ego, and unhealed wounds drive us to rush, to push, to force outcomes. But what if your delay is not denial… but divine preparation? I share personal stories from my journey and powerful spiritual wisdom to help you stop measuring your worth by deadlines or outcomes, and start aligning with the rhythm of your soul, where peace lives, purpose flows, and real miracles unfold. If you've ever felt stuck, anxious, or unworthy because your life doesn't “look” like it's supposed to, this is your reminder: You are becoming. You are preparing. And the timing of your life is sacred Tune in and learn how to trust your path, reframe your waiting season, and finally release the pressure to be anywhere other than exactly where you are. Timestamps: (00:03:13) -Society's manufactured timelines and the myth of “being late” (00:04:32) - Why your delay is not a punishment but a preparation (00:06:24) - You cannot miss your destiny or screw up your divine timing (00:07:15) - The difference between linear time and soul time (00:08:26) - Surrender, patience, and divine trust (00:09:26) - Divine delays as protection and preparation (00:10:18) - A personal story: why Kute wasn't ready for love in his 20s (00:11:32) - Delay as divine grace and soul alignment (00:12:49) - Stop comparing your journey, trust your own soul's curriculum (00:13:35) - Delay forces surrender and identity growth (00:15:15) - Reframing your waiting season as strengthening (00:16:06) - You're not forgotten, your delay is not denial (00:17:18) - Why it will all make sense in time (00:18:11) - Don't settle for “it works”, wait for what's right (00:19:22) - Trust the unfolding; do not compromise Some questions I ask: Is it too late for me to manifest my dream? How can I stay grounded during long periods of waiting? What if I feel like I've missed my moment in life? Why does everyone else seem to be ahead? Can I trust the timing of my life even when nothing makes sense? In this episode, you will learn about: How to break free from the illusion that you're “running out of time” and start aligning with your soul's divine timing. Why delay is not denial, but a sacred part of your soul's preparation for purpose, prosperity, and expansion. The hidden spiritual reasons your dreams may not have manifested yet, and how to shift from frustration to faith and flow. What secure, grounded love actually feels like so you can attract healthy, lasting relationships. How to trust the unfolding of your journey and surrender control so you can receive abundance, love, clarity, and fulfillment in the right season. The difference between ego timelines and soul alignment, and how to know which one you're living by. Practical mindset shifts to help you stay grounded, patient, and purposeful while life prepares you for what you've prayed for.

From the office to the job sites, AI is rapidly changing the construction industry just as any other. The newly developed AI tools currently available can help you to process data from variety of sources, providing you with insights to make smart decisions. One crucial piece of information everyone should remember is that AI is not magic; it needs to be provided with clean, accurate information and skilled prompting to deliver a decent output. Leaders can't just adopt AI; they must experiment, learn, and lead by example. Whether you're planning on using generative AI to think through problems and gather information or agentic AI to automate tasks, having a deep understanding of tools like these will be of immense help to the future of construction. In this week's solo episode, Eric discusses how leading multi-billion-dollar companies like Amazon are way ahead of the game by using AI. He reads us the message from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy to their employees about Amazon's extensive use of AI. Eric dives into the following topics regarding the AI adoption in construction throughout the discussion: the importance of understanding the right kind of tool for the right kind of task, the distinction between generative AI and agentic AI, challenges in AI implementation, the importance of leading by example, practical steps for AI adoption, working with the right people with the right mindset, and more. HIGHLIGHTS [02:50] Understanding the right kind of tool for the right kind of task. [07:04] The distinction between multimodal AI and agentic AI. [09:22] Build, outsource, or a combination of AI models and agents. [10:20] Challenges in AI implementation. [11:43] Leading by example. [13:41] Practical steps for AI adoption. [18:10] Find and work with the people who want to be open about adopting AI. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understand what your tools can and cannot provide. Know the difference between a multimodal AI and an agentic AI. Go ahead by getting curious. Learn how to use or build the right AI agent now. Regularly check the quality of the data you're generating. Take small steps, learn what works, and grow from there. Get hands-on with AI tools and learn how to give them clear, focused instructions.

In this in-depth episode of Thyroid Shorts, Dr. Eric Balcavage addresses one of the most misunderstood aspects of thyroid physiology: T4 to T3 conversion problems. What You'll Learn: Why conventional medicine ignores conversion issues and focuses only on TSH The critical difference between "broken" physiology vs. adaptive responses How deiodinase enzymes (D1, D2, D3) actually control thyroid hormone conversion Why your body might be intentionally reducing T4 to T3 conversion The real reasons behind elevated reverse T3 levels Why T3 medication often backfires and creates more problems Practical steps to naturally improve conversion through addressing root causes Dr. Balcavage explains how reduced T4 to T3 conversion isn't a malfunction—it's often your body's intelligent response to cellular stress, inflammation, or danger signals. Instead of forcing conversion with medication, he advocates for identifying and addressing the underlying stressors through his Strategic Thyroid Solution approach. Key Topics: Thyroid conversion, T4 to T3, functional medicine, reverse T3, deiodinase enzymes, cellular physiology, stress response, inflammation, homeostasis vs allostasis Resources Mentioned: The Thyroid Debacle book Free discovery calls at DrEricBalcavage.com Thyroid Recovery Blueprint Perfect for anyone struggling with hypothyroid symptoms despite "normal" labs or those on T3 medication without lasting results.

Welcome to episode 208 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we conclude our series on Christian citizenship. Today, we tackle the topic of gospel peacemaking. Key takeaways: While we never compromise truth for unity, we also recognize that many of our divisions stem not from essential doctrinal differences but from cultural preferences, political allegiances, or personal animosities that have become inflated beyond their proper importance. Principles for gospel peacemaking: We must recognize our primary identity in Christ. When our identity in Christ becomes primary, we can navigate differences from a foundation of unity. We must practice gospel humility. We must cultivate listening love. We must distinguish between biblical absolutes and areas of Christian freedom. We must practice faith-filled conflict resolution. We must commit to speaking truth in love. Quotable: Our peacemaking is most powerful when it flows from personal experience of God's peace. We forgive because we've been forgiven. We pursue reconciliation because we've been reconciled to God. We cross social barriers because Christ crossed the ultimate barrier for us. Application: Regarding political divisions, we must resist the polarization that dominates our public discourse. Regarding racial reconciliation, we must acknowledge both the progress made and the work still needed. Regarding socioeconomic divisions, we must build communities where "there were no needy persons among them" (Acts 4:34) while respecting the dignity of all members regardless of economic status. Regarding generational differences, we must honor the wisdom of older believers while embracing the fresh perspectives of younger ones. Practical steps for becoming gospel peacemakers: Examine your own heart. Build relationships across dividing lines. Practice biblical conflict resolution when tensions arise. Support reconciliation efforts in your community. Model unity around the essentials of faith.

Have you ever wondered if coaching actually works—or if it would work for you in your unique season of life? In this powerful and honest conversation, I sit down with my former coaching client Elle, a vibrant wife, mom of three, and hairstylist who once felt stuck in cycles of overthinking, inconsistency, and self-doubt.

We talk about ADHD, all-or-nothing thinking, goal setting, identity work, and what it really looks like to renew your mind and take action from a place of belief. If you've read the books, taken the courses, and still feel like something's missing—this conversation will help you see what's possible when you stop doing it alone and start working with your brain and your faith. ✨ Ready to stop starting over and finally step into your purpose?

The first days, weeks, and months after a baby is born are filled with so many emotions—joy, exhaustion, love, and sometimes, even uncertainty. I've been right there, too, and felt all of them. But in those early moments, something incredibly powerful is happening beneath the surface: your baby is learning how to trust the world through you. It's pretty incredible when you think about it. So we had to learn more about this and the significance of developing a strong bond with our babies. In this episode of Chick Chat, I had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie, a neonatologist, pediatrician, and AAP spokesperson, all about the science and soul of bonding with your baby and why it's critical for our babies' development. Who is Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie? Dr. Joanna Parga-Belinkie is an associate professor of pediatrics and a practicing clinical neonatologist at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She's a trusted voice for parents as a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics and co-host of their flagship podcast, "Pediatrics On Call." With three kids of her own and years of expertise in newborn medicine, Dr. Joanna bridges the worlds of evidence-based research and real-life parenting in a way that's truly empowering. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, Dr. Joanna and I cover: Dr. Joanna's background and how she became passionate about the emotional bond between parent and baby What bonding really means and why it matters so much What happens when bonding is delayed or doesn't come easily How birth choices (like C-sections, skin-to-skin, or delayed cord clamping) affect bonding Practical ways to build an emotional connection even if it doesn't feel instant Small steps parents can take every day to strengthen attachment Common mistakes that unknowingly interfere with bonding How routines like feeding, sleeping, and responding to cries shape emotional security What the latest science tells us about attachment and long-term child development Sleep training, co-sleeping, and how to decide what works for your family Dr. Joanna's biggest takeaway for new and expecting parents Final Thoughts Whether bonding feels natural or takes more time, the good news that we heard from Dr. Joanna is that attachment isn't a one-time moment. It's a relationship that grows with daily care, presence, and love. Dr. Joanna reminds us that small acts of responsiveness and warmth go a long way in shaping your baby's sense of safety and confidence. It's also reassuring hearing from an experienced baby doctor that you don't have to be perfect as a parent; you just have to keep showing up. We're so grateful to Dr. Joanna for joining us and sharing her expertise and heart with our listeners. You can follow her work through the American Academy of Pediatrics, tune in to her podcast, Pediatrics On Call, and get her book The Baby Bonding Book to learn more. Until next time, remember—your presence and love matter more than anything. You are exactly what your baby needs.
