What if stress didn't have to control how you feel—and you had simple tools to change it, starting today? If you've been enjoying The Health Feast, I'd be so grateful if you left a quick review on Apple Podcasts. It helps others find the show—and keeps this Feast growing. Dr. Robyn Tiger knows this firsthand. Years ago, she was a practicing radiologist with what looked like a perfect life on paper—two kids, a great career, a supportive husband. But behind the scenes, her body was breaking down. Migraines, digestive issues, numbness, anxiety… she went to specialists, ran every test, and took every medication. Nothing helped. The real diagnosis? Chronic stress. In this powerful conversation, we dive into Robyn's journey of healing and how she now helps others reclaim their health through simple, science-backed tools. Robyn is a double board-certified physician, certified yoga therapist, life coach, and the founder of StressFreeMD. I met her through the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, where she is a leading expert on mind body medicine, and leads breathwork, yoga, and mindfulness sessions. In this episode, we discuss: The hidden ways chronic stress shows up in the body (and why 90% of symptoms seen in primary care have stress as a root cause) Emotional buffering—why we numb stress with food, alcohol, or overwork, and how to break the cycle The yoga class that shifted everything for Robyn—and why it worked Why physician burnout is not a personal failing, but a systemic issue Practical, evidence-based tools you can use to feel better now (and yes, she guides us through one of them in the episode!) Robyn's story is a reminder that feeling better isn't just possible—it's a choice. And sometimes, the first step is simply learning how to breathe again. Live Well and RAK ON, Dr. Rak

Most of us have figured out how to hold it all together when things feel heavy, but what about when life feels good? Corinne Morahan opens up about a quiet tension that many high-achieving women experience: the discomfort that comes with ease. She shares how years of stress, pressure, and responsibility can condition us to feel safer in chaos than in calm, and how that pattern can quietly limit the good we allow in whether it's love, rest, success, or connection. If joy feels unfamiliar or fleeting, there's probably a reason.   Corinne talks about her own process of learning to receive and hold more of the good stuff. She breaks down the nervous system's role in this work, offers practical tools like EFT tapping, and challenges the idea that happiness needs to be earned through struggle. Have you ever caught yourself downplaying something great? Do you feel more equipped to survive than to celebrate? This episode invites you to notice those patterns and gently create space for more ease, more peace, and more of what you've always wanted.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Holding More Pain Than Joy 02:48 Building Capacity for Pleasure and Joy 03:54 Why We Normalize Struggle 04:26 Creating Success from Alignment and Ease 05:29 The Nervous System's Role in Receiving Good 07:26 Practical Tools to Expand Your Capacity for Ease 09:45 Making Celebration a Daily Practice 11:35 Learning to Trust the Sustainability of Goodness 12:48 Reflecting on the Good You May Be Brushing Off   Links Feeling stuck in your career, business, or what's next?

Send us a textHere's the Time article I talk about.Join the Lighthouse Priority List here.Listen to this episode for a practical roadmap and Rx for exactly where you're at on the feelings spectrum. Staying engaged is a requirement. It's the assignment. But that doesn't mean we have to ignore our human side and power through. Au contraire, mon ami.Episode Summary:You can feel sad and angry and still be in alignment with your soul's purpose. This radical truth serves as the foundation for navigating our current reality—a pressure cooker of global challenges that astrologers have been anticipating for decades. While the powers that be count on our collective burnout and division, we have tools to resist this manipulation and reclaim our power.The journey begins with breathing. Drawing from military research on "sense-making"—the $3.85 million program exploring intuition and premonition in combat situations—we learn that regulating our nervous system creates the foundation for clear thinking and effective action. Box breathing (four counts in, hold, out, hold) serves as an accessible reset button available anytime, anywhere.From this centered state, we can better assess what we're experiencing: Are we numb and overwhelmed? Drowning in grief? Seeing red? Stuck in mental loops? Each state requires different approaches—gentle self-care for freeze responses, safe expression for anger, focused action for overthinking. The key isn't avoiding these emotions but moving through them without judgment.Remember that you're likely carrying more than your personal feelings—you're also holding energy for the collective. If you resonate with this message, you've probably signed up for a role in holding light during these times. This responsibility may feel particularly heavy for those whose comfort has historically been prioritized over others' safety.Trust that your soul chose this timeline deliberately. The synchronicities and intuitive hits you've experienced were preparation for these higher-stakes moments. There has never been a more powerful, empathetic, technologically literate, and globally connected conscious generation than ours. This is our time to step into our highest timeline and inspire others through our example.What one tangible action can you take today to declare to the universe that you're in charge of your energy? Your voice matters in this soul-level revolution that spre

I'll share faith-based encouragement, simple coping stategies, and tools that can help you process the pain, honor your emotions, and begin to experience peace, one step at a time. You are not alone in this.

What does it mean to design a family legacy with intention? And how do you make sure that legacy is rooted in faith? Today, we're talking about the legacy you'll leave behind—and how to shape it while you still can. Jan Thompson joins us to share how you and your family can ensure your faith is reflected in what you leave behind.Jan Thompson is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and the co-founder of One Degree Advisors with over 30 years of experience in financial planning, where she specializes in purposeful financial planning, investment management, and multi-generational legacy coaching. Legacy Is More Than MoneyWhen people hear the word “legacy,” most think of money or assets passed down after death. But that's only one part. Here are five interconnected aspects of legacy:Financial Legacy – Assets and resources passed on to the next generation.Personal Legacy – Your character, life choices, and how you'll be remembered.Family Legacy – The stories, traditions, and values shared through generations.Business or Ministry Legacy – The mission, culture, and influence of your work.Kingdom Legacy – The eternal impact of your life through faith, generosity, and gospel-centered living.When families neglect the non-financial elements, their wealth is often left without context, and that's when legacies tend to fail. The legacy failure rate is alarmingly high when these pieces are missing.Wisdom Before WealthThe largest wealth transfer in history is currently underway, but statistics indicate that wealth rarely lasts beyond three generations. Why? Here are three reasons:Lack of trust and communication.Unprepared heirs.Absence of shared values or a clear family vision.Wealth is a valuable tool, but without wisdom and unity, it often leads to division. Psalm 78:5–7 provides a beautiful framework for legacy planning across generations:“He established a testimony in Jacob… that they should teach them to their children, that the next generation might know them… so that they should set their hope in God…”These verses highlight three keys to a lasting legacy: remember God's works, share your stories, and live in obedience. Whether through blessings or mistakes, we encourage families to reflect on the ways God has been present in their journey and to discuss it openly.Practical Tools and ResourcesTo help families start this process, you can join a weekly email list at SomewhereOnPurpose.com that will provide you with simple actions to take toward building a meaningful legacy.Remember, legacy doesn't build itself—intentional steps must be taken. And while many families delay because they don't know where to start or feel too busy, procrastination is the “silent killer” of strong legacies.Start today. Expose your family to serving others. Take a mission trip. Engage in a local service project. Let them see the joy of generosity firsthand.Become a FaithFi PartnerRight now, more people than ever are looking for biblical wisdom to navigate their finances.

Why Beating Yourself Up Isn't Making You Better Rewiring the Inner Critic For most of us men, we were raised on self-esteem, (either resourceful input, or non-resourceful input) Be confident. Stand tall. Don't screw up. Win at all costs. That's self-esteem culture. It's about feeling good about yourself when you're doing well — when you're successful, strong, admired, competent, and on your game.  But the second you fall short? That's when self-esteem gets shaky. You feel like less of a man. This is where self-compassion comes in — and most of us weren't taught this growing up. What's the Difference? Self-Esteem Self-esteem says: “I'm valuable because I'm good at something.” But what happens when you're not good? When you fail? When you screw up as a dad, partner, or professional? You beat yourself up. You think you're weak. You try harder, you push down or numb feelings, you obsess, or you isolate. Self-Compassion Self-compassion says: “Even when I mess up, I still matter.” It's not about lowering your standards or letting yourself off the hook. It's about treating yourself like you would treat a friend. You don't rip him to shreds when he's struggling — you encourage him. You support him. You give him a chance to recover and rise. Why This Matters for Men A lot of men stay stuck in silence because they think they have to “man up” through every failure. We're told emotions make us soft. That kindness toward ourselves is weakness. But the truth? Beating ourselves into the ground never made us better — it just made us more disconnected, more numb, and more alone. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's strength with grace. It's resilience over shame. It's authenticity without self-hate. We often refuse to use self-compassion because we think it's lazy or we will lose motivation if we let ourselves off the hook.  So Which One Should You Build? Both. But start with self-compassion. Because when your confidence fails, your self-worth shouldn't. Confidence is built on success. Compassion is built for failing. And you're going to need both.

Is pornography a good teacher? Many teens think so. Nearly half of teens surveyed believe “porn gives helpful information about sex.” This should be a red flag for dads. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster to talk about how to have honest and open conversations about the dangers of pornography.Why This MattersPornography is a problem that is not going away. There is no such thing as casual porn consumption. Key TakeawaysPorn is Everywhere: Over 83% of teen boys and 57% of teen girls in the U.S. have viewed porn.Porn is Largely Taboo: About 62% of teens say nobody has talked to them about the dangers of porn.Porn is Profitable: In the USA, the online porn industry's annual revenue keeps pace with the NCAA, around $1.15 billion. Practical Tools for DadsPorn is bad for everyone, but especially kids. Don't shy away from age-appropriate conversations about it. Here are questions to get you started:1. What are your friends saying about porn?2. What do they watch on YouTube?3. What if everything you watched, clicked, or scrolled through online were public?4.

How to Get Out of Quasi Recovery: https://livlabelfree.com/quasirecoverybookThe Discovery Workbook: https://livlabelfree.com/discoveryworkbookBundle & save on all my books: https://livlabelfreebooks.com/ Are you stuck in quasi recovery? I know how it feels to be trapped in that frustrating middle ground between your eating disorder and true freedom. You're “recovered” to an extent, but you're still constantly thinking about food, exercise, and whether or not you're doing recovery “right.” The relentless self-doubt and mental questioning is f*cking EXHAUSTING…and it's no way to live! This is why I wrote How to Get Out of Quasi Recovery and created the accompanying Discovery Workbook. With chapters exploring existentialism, perfectionism, conformity, and being “good enough,” both books guide you to transform your relationship not just with food and your body, but with your entire existence.

Real Stories & Practical Tools to Choose Love Over Fear: In this special episode of A Call for Love, Linda Orsini gathers the wisdom of five previous guests to explore one pivotal question: How do you follow a call for love in your life? This unique episode weaves together thoughtful answers from wise and open-hearted guests, offering a tapestry of insights, vulnerability, and heart-centred practices for choosing love, peace, and joy, especially in times of fear, stress, or anxiety.Gems you can add to your life:Choosing Love & AuthenticityMaggie Habieda emphasizes living authentically and expressing love, considering authenticity as the new luxury.The role of embracing your truth and letting go of masks, especially in both personal and professional life.The Power of Surrender & StillnessSandra Tadros Guirguis discusses surrendering control, practicing humility, and allowing a higher power to guide the journey.Importance of 'being still' as a spiritual practice.Empowering Presence with Difficult EmotionsSamantha Manchulenko shares how she addresses physical and emotional pain by meeting it with mindful presence, curiosity, and non-resistance rather than avoidance or labelling.Healing with Ritual & NatureLyndsay Jenkinson and Carrie Chilcott discuss the importance of connecting with nature, grounding, meditation, breathwork, and yoga for emotional healing and maintaining a high vibration.Sacred Sound & Sufi PracticesAyeda Husain discourages spiritual bypassing, encouraging listeners to sit with difficult emotions before moving beyond them.Ida Sen shares the healing power of sacred music and Sufi chanting (“zikr”), using sound vibrations to lift the spirit and heal the heart.Don't forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and connect with us for upcoming episodes!From our hearts to yours, and remember: perfection isn't the goal, love is.Linda's Website: https://www.globalwellnesseducation.com Excerpts from the following episodes: #85 Living Unfiltered: The Courage to Show Up as Yourself #84 Making Peace With Your Thoughts#77 Grief and Staying Connected to Loved Ones #79 Feet First: Reflexology for Holistic Healing#71 The Sufi Path of LoveFollow Linda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindaorsiniwellness About Linda:Have you ever battled overwhelming anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, soul fatigue or stress? It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless.

Ever find yourself lying awake at 2 AM, mind racing through endless scenarios about that career change, health decision, or relationship challenge? You're caught in the overthinking trap, and you're definitely not alone. In this solo episode, I dive deep into why we get stuck in our heads, especially during midlife transitions, and share practical strategies to break free from analysis paralysis. This isn't about forcing yourself to make reckless decisions; it's about learning to move forward with intention, even when you don't have all the answers.Key TakeawaysOverthinking Disguises Itself as Being "Responsible"That endless planning, researching, and waiting for the "right time" often masks self-doubt and fear. Overthinking gives us the illusion of control but actually keeps us stuck. When you catch yourself saying "I'm just not ready yet" or "I'll wait until things settle down," recognise these as potential delaying tactics.Clarity Comes Through Action, Not More ThinkingClarity emerges from doing. Even small steps forward shift the fog and give you real-time feedback about what feels right and what doesn't. Progress happens when we allow ourselves to be beginners and aim for a "messy C" instead of waiting for perfection.You Don't Need to Feel Fearless to BeginCourage isn't about eliminating fear; it's about moving with the fear instead of waiting for it to disappear. Willingness creates movement. If something isn't working for you anymore, that's enough reason to explore a new path. You don't need anyone else's permission to choose yourself.Use These 5 Practical Tools to Break the CycleWhen overthinking hits, try these specific strategies as mentioned in this episode:1) The two-minute rule (if it takes less than two minutes, do it now),2) Brain dump journaling for 2-5 minutes without editing,3) Ask yourself "what's the next kind step?"4) Set decision deadlines to create mental boundaries, and5) Use the 5-5-5 rule: will this matter in five days, five months, or five years?Small Steps Create Big ShiftsYou don't need a perfect plan or all the answers. Start with one small, kind, doable step today. Whether it's making that phone call, journaling your thoughts, or finally saying yes to something you've been avoiding, movement in any direction breaks the paralysis and builds trust with yourself.Your Next Chapter Starts NowStop waiting for the perfect moment, the complete plan, or the fearless feeling—they rarely come. The women who transform their midlife stories aren't the ones who have it all figured out; they're the ones who begin anyway. What's one area where you've been circling?

The episode kicks off with some light banter, but quickly shifts to a deep, honest conversation about the struggles that come with following Jesus—and helping others do the same. Facing the Hard Stuff Josh opens by naming the elephant in the room: temptation is part of life, even in ministry. While it's tempting (no pun intended) to focus only on wins and high points, the guys make it clear—ignoring sin doesn't make it go away. In fact, it makes things worse. Confronting it directly is key to personal integrity and faithful disciple-making. Everyone Struggles—Even Jesus Was Tempted Drawing from Hebrews, they remind us that even Jesus faced temptation. That truth doesn't excuse sin—it encourages us. If He faced it and overcame, we can lean on Him in our fight too. Disciple-making isn't about being perfect, but about staying honest and dependent on Jesus. Don't Go It Alone Jason pushes back on the myth of solo Christianity. Isolation is dangerous, especially when struggling with sin. They paint a biblical picture of community—like the body, vine and branches, shepherd and sheep—where honest relationships offer support, accountability, and light in dark places. Confession Brings Healing Confession isn't just a religious duty—it's a path to healing (James 5). The hosts use a striking image: sins are like baby dragons. Small at first, but dangerous if fed and hidden. Naming them early—through confession and accountability—stops them from taking over. Practical Tools for Disciple-Makers Josh and Jason share some simple but powerful practices: Safe Spaces: Create environments where people can share struggles without fear of judgment. Early Confession: Address sin before it grows into something bigger. Regular Reflection: Stay in step with God by confessing quickly and often. Rely on the Holy Spirit and Scripture They caution against white-knuckling your way through temptation. Instead, rely on the Holy Spirit and God's Word. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10, they remind listeners that God always provides a way out. Around the world, disciple-making movements thrive when Scripture is the foundation and the Spirit is the guide. God's Word Transforms They emphasize that lasting change comes from God—not effort alone. When we stay rooted in Scripture and invite the Spirit to search our hearts, He brings conviction and real transformation. The goal isn't behavior management; it's presence-driven change led by Jesus. No Sin Too Small—or Too Big When it comes to cultural issues like sexual sin, they caution against playing favorites with sins. All sin separates. The best approach? Get people into the presence of Jesus and let the Holy Spirit do the heavy lifting. Encouragement to Apply They close by encouraging listeners to keep it simple: read Scripture, listen to the Spirit, confess quickly, and stay connected. Disciple-making happens when people walk in honesty, grace, and dependence on God—together. Takeaway: Sin and temptation are part of the journey—but they don't have to derail it. Through confession, accountability, and the power of the Spirit, disciple-makers can walk in freedom and help others do the same.

We explore the future of inclusive leadership with Kelli Lester, co-founder of Onyx Rising. Zoë opens with reflections on ageing, robotics in aged care, and the value of connection. And introduces Kelli, who shares insight on navigating today's polarised workplace and equipping leaders for diverse, resilient teams. Kelli unpacks the backlash against DEI programs, reframing them as essential business strategies rather than politically charged mandates. She explores how organisations can move beyond performative initiatives by anchoring their diversity efforts in clear objectives—be it talent, innovation, or community alignment. This conversation covers emotional and cultural intelligence, generational divides, psychological safety, and the systemic barriers to inclusion. Practical frameworks like Kelli's seven inclusive leadership traits provide a tangible pathway to fostering a thriving, human-centred workplace.

Have you ever lived in a mindset where you're basically waiting for the other shoe to drop, hope feels impossible or too dangerous? It can feel safer to fly low, embrace pessimism and cynicism and think, “if life turns out half as bad as I imagine, then at least I'll be ready for it.” That's the kind of mindset Stephanie had when she was younger. Stephanie welcomes Nicole Zasowski, author and therapist, who shares wisdom on reclaiming joy and celebration in a world often dominated by worry and pessimism. Nicole's journey and research reveal that joy isn't just an emotional response, but a courageous, spiritual discipline rooted in God's faithfulness. Despite her deep faith, she had concluded that joy and celebration were risky. She was sure that celebration would come with a catch, so she became practiced in praying for the miracle while preparing to mourn and dreaming while rehearsing disaster. And yet she discovered that our methods of self-protection came at a cost. A lot of the loss we experience in our lives is not only the grief and the disappointment itself, but also the joy that we overlook because we are too afraid to embrace it, she tells us. That's the conversation on Gospel Spice today. Understanding the Struggle with Joy Nicole begins by dispelling the myth that celebration and joy come naturally to her—in fact, her books were born from seasons marked by change, loss, and disappointment. Through experiences like moving across the country and enduring infertility and miscarriages, Nicole discovered a heartbreaking truth: much of her loss was not just in what she lacked, but in her refusal to embrace the goodness that God placed in her path out of fear that it would be taken away. This led her into research, both biblical and scientific, to understand why joy can feel so vulnerable and difficult, especially when we've experienced pain. Redefining Celebration: A Spiritual Discipline American and Western cultures, Nicole notes, often see celebration as a reward for good news or accomplishments. However, the Bible—especially the Old Testament—demonstrates celebration as a spiritual rhythm and discipline, not just a reaction. The Israelites practiced regular, scheduled celebrations and feasts, regardless of their current circumstances. These rhythms were not designed to reward themselves for their goodness, but to remember and honor God's consistent faithfulness. Celebration, then, is about choosing remembrance: looking back at God's goodness and letting that fuel hope, courage, and anticipation about the future—even when circumstances are hard. The Vulnerability of Joy Joy is inherently vulnerable because it opens our hearts to the possibility of loss. For those who have experienced pain, pessimism and cynicism can become self-protective mechanisms. However, Nicole's research and experience as a therapist show that numbing ourselves to joy doesn't actually protect us. Rather, it diminishes our ability to savor God's goodness and leaves us empty-handed in difficult times. Practical Tools for Practicing Joy Nicole emphasizes that joy, like any virtue, can and must be intentionally practiced. Two key habits can help rewire our hearts toward joy: 1.      Savoring: Take mental “snapshots” of small moments, deliberately noticing what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This helps your brain store joyful experiences that might otherwise go unnoticed. 2.      Thanksgiving (vs. gratitude): Beyond silently feeling grateful, speak and express thanks out loud—to God or others. Research shows that this actually heightens and solidifies joy inside us. Key Takeaways from our conversation ·         Joy and celebration are not merely emotions; they are spiritual practices and choices that shape us. ·         God invites us into rhythms of celebration even when our feelings or circumstances do not match, because it roots us deeper in remembrance of His faithfulness. ·         Practicing joy often feels counterintuitive—especially in pain—but it is the way God designed us to process life and hope. ·         Tools like savoring and thanksgiving can help transform our hearts and brains to default toward joy instead of worry or cynicism. Nicole encourages us that it's never too late to begin practicing joy, regardless of our life's season. The discipline of joy prepares us for eternity, deepening our delight in God and training our hearts for hope and celebration—no matter what comes our way.

Meet Nicole at https://www.nicolezasowski.com/  MORE ABOUT “DARING JOY” Joy can feel risky. When you've experienced pain of any kind, it can feel easier not to dream than to be disappointed, or not to hope than to be left heartbroken. If you ever feel like it's safer not to embrace joy at all than to hold something that might break, you're not alone. Thankfully, the Bible paints a different picture—one that gives you the courage to hold on to joy regardless of your circumstances. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/daring-joy  MORE ABOUT “WHAT IF IT'S WONDERFUL” What If It's Wonderful? Author and marriage and family therapist Nicole Zasowski knows that it's difficult to trust joy and find the courage to celebrate when you have endured seasons of disappointment and despair. When God has been your faithful anchor in the storm, does joy then leave you unmoored? Nicole reminds us that we can stay tethered to the hope of Christ in seasons of celebration, because even joyful days hold the learning, growth, and intimate encounters with Jesus that our hearts crave. What If It's Wonderful? offers a new perspective. With a compelling psychological and spiritual case for the importance of embracing joy and celebration, even when it feels scary. https://www.nicolezasowski.com/wonderful  We invite you to check out the first episode of each of our series, and decide which one you will want to start with.

Is it possible that your biggest step in faith begins with just saying yes—even before you know where it'll lead? Saying yes to God, even when you don't know all He's asking, is about trusting the One who's asking. It's not about having the plan—it's about knowing He's good. Mary didn't have all the details, but she said yes, and that yes changed everything. Our willingness can open the door for God to do more than we could ever imagine. I sit with Christina Semmens, author of Say Yes: Discovering Purpose, Peace, and Abundance in Daily Life, to talk about how small, daily choices can lead to a life of mission and meaning. We unpack how personal and relational evangelization isn't one-size-fits-all, and how saying yes—internally and externally—can transform your relationship with God and others. Whether you're seeking to live your faith more intentionally or just need a dose of spiritual encouragement, Christina offers practical wisdom and heartfelt insight to help you walk more closely with God and embrace your unique calling.

Our guest in this episode is Jon Bassford, a curiosity-driven leader, consultant, and author who helps organizations unlock innovation by asking better questions. Jon's journey is a story of challenging the status quo, rediscovering the power of curiosity, and empowering others to do the same. In his conversation with Jürgen, Jon shares practical tools, candid stories, and a contagious enthusiasm for making curiosity a daily habit.Key points discussed include:* Curiosity is a superpower that drives innovation, growth, and operational excellence in both individuals and organizations.* Building a culture of psychological safety and open questioning empowers teams to experiment, learn, and contribute their best ideas.* Practical tools—like improv exercises and breaking daily routines—can help anyone reignite their curiosity and creative thinking.Listen to the podcast to find out more.Show Notes from this episode with Jon Bassford, Lateral SolutionsUnleashing Your Inner Innovator: How Curiosity Can Transform Your LeadershipIn a recent episode of the InnovaBuzz podcast, host Jürgen engaged in a thought-provoking conversation with Jon Bassford, the founder and CEO of Lateral Solutions, and the author of "The Curious Leader." Jon specializes in helping organizations innovate, change, and grow by adopting a curiosity-driven leadership. The discussion revealed how cultivating curiosity can unlock transformative potential in both personal and professional spheres.The Power of Curiosity: Jon's JourneyJon's journey is a testament to the power of innate curiosity. He realized that his life has always been driven by a desire to challenge the status quo and improve existing systems. This internal drive has shaped his career, leading him to assist organizations in achieving operational excellence and driving intended results efficiently and effectively. It's not merely about making minor adjustments; it's about fundamentally questioning the rationale behind established practices.Reclaiming Your Inner Child: Rediscovering CuriosityJürgen and Jon explored how the innate curiosity of childhood often diminishes as individuals mature. Jon noted that by the age of 35, a significant portion of our habits and thoughts are programmed. However, he emphasized that it's never too late to reignite that inner child. He suggests implementing mechanisms within our lives and teams to consistently question the validity of our actions and explore potential improvements. It involves consciously challenging ingrained habits and embracing a mindset of continuous inquiry.The Art of Asking Questions: Solving Problems with CuriosityJon shared a key insight: effective problem-solving hinges not on possessing all the answers, but on posing the right questions. He referenced an exercise from his "Curious Leader" workshop, where teams tackle challenges solely through inquiry. The transformative moment occurs when a well-formulated question sparks a breakthrough. This underscores the notion that expertise isn't a prerequisite for progress; rather, it's the willingness to explore through questioning.Building a Curious Culture: Fostering Innovation in Your OrganizationThe conversation shifted to creating environments where questions are encouraged and experimentation is embraced. Jon stressed the importance of psychological safety, which begins with leaders understanding their team members on a personal level. Instead of dictating opinions, leaders should prioritize valuing the perspectives of their team. This fosters a culture of open communication and collaborative innovation.The Three Shifts: Mindset, Operations, and CultureJon outlined three essential shifts for leaders aiming to cultivate curiosity: mindset, operational excellence, and culture. The initial step involves transitioning from a fixed mindset to a growth-oriented one, encouraging individuals to envision possibilities beyond current limitations. Next, it entails regularly questioning existing processes and seeking opportunities for improvement. Ultimately, it's about fostering an environment where every member is empowered to drive innovation and positive change.Curiosity as Kryptonite: When Curiosity Goes WrongEven the most potent strengths have their limitations. Jon recounted an instance where his eagerness to instigate change met with resistance. This serves as a reminder that curiosity, like any virtue, requires judicious management. Self-awareness is paramount. Individuals must reflect on their actions and assess their contribution to the overall dynamic. Sometimes, the most insightful question is, "How am I impeding progress?"Practical Tools for Cultivating CuriosityJon offered practical tools for nurturing curiosity in everyday life. These included improv exercises, which encourage building upon ideas without dismissing them, and the 80/20 rule, where companies like Google and 3M allow employees to dedicate a portion of their time to passion projects. Even simple actions, such as brushing teeth with the non-dominant hand, can stimulate the brain and foster creativity. The key is to disrupt routines and explore new avenues of thought.ConclusionThe discussion between Jürgen and Jon illuminated the transformative potential of curiosity. By embracing childlike wonder, posing insightful questions, and nurturing a culture of inquiry, individuals and organizations can unlock innovation and drive meaningful progress. As Jon aptly demonstrated, curiosity isn't just a trait; it's a superpower waiting to be unleashed.The Buzz - Our Innovation RoundHere are Jon's answers to the questions of our innovation round.

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21That powerful truth from Jesus captures the heart of FaithFi's mission and vision.If money issues are ultimately heart issues, then we need more than financial tips—we need a heart change that helps us see God as our ultimate treasure. Today, Taylor Standridge joins us to explore the deeper purpose behind FaithFi and how you can partner in that mission.Taylor Standridge is the Production Director of FaithFi: Faith & Finance and the co-author of Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and Anxiety.When Your Peace Rises and Falls with the MarketIt's pretty ironic that the stock market graph sometimes looks like a heart rate monitor. The point? Many people's emotions—and even their sense of hope—are tied to their financial situation. When the market dips, so does their peace.But Scripture offers a better way: “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God” (Psalm 20:7).If your peace mirrors the market, it may be a spiritual warning light. Scripture calls us to set our minds on things above, not on the volatility of our savings accounts.Why Our Mission at FaithFi MattersAt the core of FaithFi is a calling to help people glorify God through wise financial decisions. But our vision shapes how we do it: to see every Christian view God as their ultimate treasure.In Jesus's words during the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 6:21 tells us, "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Christian finance is about more than avoiding debt or giving to good causes. Those are great goals, but Jesus is calling us to something deeper: to reexamine what we treasure in the first place.It's not about giving more, it's about loving God more. That's why even the Pharisees, who gave plenty, were still rebuked—because their hearts weren't surrendered. When Christ becomes our greatest joy, giving becomes cheerful, not dutiful.The Daily Struggle: Trusting God or Trusting in WealthOne of the biggest struggles we see on the show frequently is the tension between trusting God and trusting in financial security.The culture says to get more and upgrade everything. But the gospel calls us to steward our resources for God's Kingdom. Ultimately, money can never define our worth—it can only serve as a tool when our identity is rooted in Christ.Wisdom Over Wealth: What Ecclesiastes Teaches UsThis book reminds us that wealth, possessions, and even success are fleeting. Apart from God, they're meaningless—just vapor, or ‘hevel' as Ecclesiastes puts it.But when we view money as a gift from God, not the goal, its purpose becomes clear. Ecclesiastes invites us to stop chasing what won't last and start investing in what will.That's why we're excited about the release of our latest study, Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money, authored by John Cortines. Ecclesiastes speaks so much to our modern struggles with wealth, showing us both the futility of placing our hopes in riches and the true path to a life grounded in God's wisdom. You'll find that this study will challenge you to rethink your relationship with money and inspire deeper trust in God's provision and sovereignty.To get your copy, you can either pre-order it at FaithFi.com/Shop or request a copy to be sent to you when you make a gift of $35 or more to the ministry of FaithFi at FaithFi.com/Give. Practical Tools for a Biblical Approach to FinancesFaithFi isn't just about biblical theory—it's about real-life application. There are several ways we equip people to live out God-honoring stewardship:The FaithFi App—A budgeting tool built on biblical values like generosity, margin, and contentment.
