Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Most of us never actually choose our values. We absorb them from parents, culture, and community, and then wonder why our lives feel like a scratchy sweater we can't take off. That works for a while until something starts to feel off. Nothing is technically wrong, but you have the sense that the life you're living may not actually fit you.Procrastination lives in the same neighborhood. It's not about the task. It's about the feeling the task creates, boredom, confusion, fear, or perfectionism, which is fear in a tailored blazer.The shift comes when you realize you get to choose. You can drop values that feel like an uncomfortable sweater and replace them with ones that actually feel right. In this episode, let's talk about how to identify what you actually value, why motivation follows action and never the other way around, how to shrink the start so small your brain can't resist, and how to hack dopamine so it works for you instead of against you.If you've been waiting to feel ready, motivated, or confident before you start, this episode will flip that. You don't become the person first. Every small action teaches your brain who you are becoming.Resources: Website: tracyotsuka.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/tracyotsuka YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tracyotsuka4796FREE 3-days to Fall in Love With Your ADHD Brain training on Jan 6th:  https://tracyotsuka.com/ilovemybrain Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work?

In today's fast-paced world, finding focus can often feel like an impossible feat. Cody Cook-Parrott shared that when our attention is scattered due to overstimulation and technology addiction, we unintentionally lose a part of ourselves. Addressing this requires us to step away from shame, gently asking what we might be avoiding, and experimenting with practices that reclaim our attention through small, intentional changes. Through Cody's insights, we learn that being present starts with small actions—whether it's logging out of social media, turning off your phone for a few hours, or taking conscious walks. Such practices help center us, improve our health, and revitalize our ability to show up in our lives. As I work towards intentional living, I invite everyone to explore these practices and experience the profound benefits of being fully embodied and present.

You’ve heard people say, “Sales is a grind.” And they’re right. Sales requires relentless effort. You’ve got to make the calls, run the process, deal with internal roadblocks, handle piles of rejection, and show up every day with a smile on your face, ready to do it all over again. But the dirty little secret is that plenty of salespeople push through the grind day after day and still don’t seem to get ahead. They put in the effort and work hard, but get nowhere. All grind, but little progress. Here’s the truth they don’t always tell you: You can grind yourself into the ground and still fail if you don’t have the right mindset and belief system underpinning that effort. To keep it real, I’m the person who shouts from the rooftops that you’ve got to “grind to shine.” I say that in my book Fanatical Prospecting. It’s printed on coffee mugs. I love that mantra because it’s about doing the things other people are unwilling to do. But raw grind isn’t always enough. Sometimes, we need to pair grinding it out with tenacity. Tenacity is a Sustainable Sales Trait In sales, tenacity is a more sustainable trait than raw grind or pure persistence because tenacity combines persistent determination with process certainty and strategy. Grind is about doing the daily, repetitive, rejection-dense work required for success, but it can quickly lead to frustration and burnout when it isn't paired with enduring faith that the hard work is going to pay off.  Tenacity, on the other hand, is grinding combined with the absolute certainty that what you expect to happen is eventually going to happen. That’s the difference between the rep who grinds hard for a quarter, feels that they are getting nowhere, and burns out because they’re not seeing results, and the sales professional who consistently runs the sales playbook, without immediate evidence that it’s working, because they have faith that the process will eventually produce their desired outcomes. Uncertainty Causes You to Constantly Change Your Approach One big problem with grinding without certainty is that when results don’t show up on your impatient timeline, you start changing everything. You make 100 calls this week using one approach. Next week, you try a different script. The week after that, you switch your targeting. Then you read an article about social selling and abandon cold calling altogether. You’re working hard, but you’re also second-guessing every move. You change your messaging before you’ve run it long enough to know if it works. You abandon techniques after a handful of attempts. You skip or change steps in your company’s sales process after a couple of deals don't go your way.  When you put in massive effort, but spread that effort across ten different approaches instead of trusting the proven process and playbook long enough to let it produce results, you end up in an exhausting, demoralizing quagmire of chaos and eventually give up.  The True Meaning of Process Certainty When I say “certainty,” I’m not talking about positive thinking or affirmations or manifestation or any of that rah-rah motivational stuff. Certainty in sales means knowing—not hoping, but knowing—that if you do the right things the right way for long enough, the outcomes are inevitable. That you get the Sales Gravy.  That’s what allows tenacious salespeople to keep grinding when others quit. They’re not grinding on blind faith. They’re grinding on proven evidence that the process works.  For example, in Fanatical Prospecting, I explain the 30 Day Rule, which states that the prospecting you do in any given 30 days tends to pay off over the next 90 days.  The 30-day rule is always in play. It is proven. It is truth. But you'll never see it work if your prospecting is sporadic rather than consistently executed every single day.  The Three Types of Certainty that Power the Tenacity Engine If you want to develop real tenacity—the kind that sustains you through tough markets, rough quarters, and slumps—you need to build certainty in three core areas. 1. Certainty in Your Value You need conviction that what you’re selling genuinely improves your customers' businesses in a meaningful way. When you have that certainty, something shifts. You stop feeling like you’re bothering people or being pushy and start feeling like you are helping them. That you belong there.  And buyers can feel this difference. They sense and respond to your confidence, enthusiasm, and passion for helping them. Which gives you even more certainty. 2. Certainty in Your Process You need confidence that your sales process and playbook actually work.  Most sellers have been provided a proven, repeatable approach to building pipeline, qualifying opportunities, running discovery, handling objections, building consensus, negotiating, and closing business.  If you don't have a process, read or listen to my books Fanatical Prospecting, The LinkedIn Edge, Sales EQ, Objections, Virtual Selling, and Inked. Collectively, these books give you a powerful playbook for success.  But regardless of whether you get your playbook from your company or me, believing that it will work for you is a choice and mindset that only you can step into.  If you are constantly second-guessing the process every time things don't work out the way you want them to, you are doomed to frustration and failure. You'll be a slave to flavor-of-the-day thinking and winging it from call to call and situation to situation. But when you trust the process, you'll be steady, consistent, and confident. And you'll relax because you know that you won't win every time, no one does, but over time, because your process is proven, win probability is in your favor.  3. Certainty in Probability This is the big one. You need certainty that the math works in your favor over time. The simple truth is that sales is a numbers game played with human emotions. Not every call will book a meeting. Not every meeting will turn into an opportunity. Not every opportunity will close. But if you control the inputs—activity level, message quality, process execution—the outputs become predictable and win probability bends in your favor.  Ultra-high performers understand this at a bone-deep level. They know their numbers and conversion rates. This gives them certainty that the statistics are working in their favor.  On the other hand, the reps who are winging it are sky high when something goes well and in the dumps when things don't—without knowing what they did in either situation to affect the outcome. And it is on this emotional roller coaster where they eventually burn out and quit.  Top performers never board this emotional roller coaster because they’re anchored to math, not mood. How to Transform Sales Grind into Certainty-Fueled Tenacity Maybe you’re thinking, “Jeb, this all sounds great, but how do I build this certainty that you speak of?” Fair question. Here are four ways:  Track Process Metrics, Not Just Outcomes If you only measure outcomes—meetings set, deals closed, revenue generated—you’re going to struggle with certainty during the lag time between the grind and results. So instead, track the inputs like calls, conversation ratios, meetings, next step advances, or proposals delivered. When you measure the right activities, you can see progress and celebrate small wins even when results aren't there yet. This builds certainty that the process is working, which sustains your effort through the gap. Practice Until You Don’t Have to Think Competence begets certainty. Competence comes from practice and repetition. Role-play your cold calls. Rehearse your discovery questions. Murder-board your presentations. Practice, practice, practice your sales story, messaging, and handling objections. Record yourself doing it and watch it back. When you’ve practiced something until it is pure muscle memory, you don’t get nervous when it matters. You don’t freeze up or get embarrassed when you fumble. You execute with relaxed confidence. Emotionally Detach from Individual Deals The fastest way to lose certainty is to attach your identity to one opportunity. Tenacious sellers want to win every deal, but they don’t need to win every deal to feel okay about themselves. They treat each opportunity like one at-bat in a long season. Emotional detachment isn’t indifference. It’s a form of professionalism. It’s caring about the outcome without being controlled by it. Install a Mental Script for Rejection When you get rejected, it hurts, and your brain immediately tries to explain why. When you are in pain, it is super easy to default to stories that weaken your mindset and belief system. You say things to yourself like, “I’m not good at this or this isn't working.” Tenacious sellers consciously replace that story with self-talk that maintains certainty. “Not now isn’t never.” “This is part of the math.” My inputs are correct, I executed my process, but this just wasn't the right time for this buyer.” This is how top salespeople think because they know that the greatest threat to tenacity isn’t the rejection, it’s the meaning you assign to the rejection. Grinding Without Certainty is Just Another Form of Suffering Sales will always be a grind. The calls don’t make themselves. The pipeline doesn’t fill itself. The deals don’t close themselves. But grinding without certainty is just another form of suffering. It’s unsustainable. Eventually, you get frustrated, burn out, and give up. Certainty doesn’t eliminate the hard work, but it does make the hard work sustainable. So if you’re grinding right now and not seeing the results you want, don’t just grind harder. Build certainty. Get clear on the value you deliver. Trust your process. Know your numbers. Track the inputs. Practice your craft.  Because tenacity isn’t about being tougher than everyone else. It’s about being certain enough to keep going when everyone else quits. And remember, when you are tired, worn down, and feel like you can’t take another objection, when all you want to do is quit and go home, always stop and make one more call. Because that one more call is the ultimate demonstration of your trust in the process. Get your tickets today to OutBound – the world’s biggest, baddest sales and leadership training conference.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Michele Grace Hottel sits down with Enoch Sears, founder of Business of Architecture, for a talk on what practice ownership can quietly take from you—and how it doesn't have to. Enoch shares stories from behind the "awards and accolades" and points to the hidden patterns that keep firm owners stuck, even when they love the work. From a hard truth an accountant once delivered, to why outside coaches can change the game, the conversation moves from money to meaning without turning into a lecture. They also wander through early architectural memories, a few iconic buildings, and a view of how architects could shape the next era of communities. The "one sentence" an accountant said that made a successful architect rethink everything. The unexpected reason Enoch says most firms stay trapped—even when they're busy. A small habit from studio days that reveals a bigger advantage most people miss. To learn more about Michele, visit her website: https://www.mgharchitect.com/

Recording live from IDOC Connection in Orlando, I sit down with Dr. Todd Cohan, Sadie Blair, and Polly Stearns from Forsight Vision and Midwest Dry Eye Center to talk about the relationship between vision and execution inside a growing private practice. We go into the dynamic between the owner (visionary) and the operations lead (integrator), and why that chemistry matters more than most doctors realize.   We discuss leadership cadence, how they structure weekly meetings, how goals are set and tracked, and what it looks like to invest in developing internal talent. We also unpack the real risk and reward of moving a top producer into a leadership role, how they think about KPIs and staff engagement, and the systems they use to keep everyone aligned.   If you're thinking about growth, delegation, or strengthening your leadership bench, this episode will give you a practical framework to consider.   Resources: Harnessing the power and momentum from optometry meetings with your operations manager: a conversation with Dr. Todd Cohan & Sadie Blair Ted Lasso: "Be curious, not judgemental" Book a Triage call with Adam Download the Practice Owner's Financial Toolkit 20/20 Money Ultimate Financial Success Masterclass OD Mastermind Interest Form Check out Adam's new book: How to Buy an Optometry Practice Midwest Dry Eye Center Forsight Vision   ————————————————————————————— Please rate and subscribe to 20/20 Money on these platforms Apple Podcasts Spotify ————————————————————————————— For past episodes of 20/20 Money with full companion show notes, please check out our episode archive here!   Check out Adam's other podcast!

Send a textA crowded house. A blocked door. Four determined friends hauling a paralyzed man onto a roof, tearing through clay and tile, and lowering him right in front of Jesus. Moments earlier, a man “full of leprosy” knelt in the dust and whispered the boldest prayer he could muster: “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Two scenes, one thread—Jesus moves toward pain with power and compassion, and he doesn't stop at symptoms. He goes straight for the heart.We walk verse by verse through Luke 5:12–26 to trace how cleansing, forgiveness, and authority collide. The leper doesn't just want relief; he wants to be clean, able to enter God's presence again. Jesus reaches out and touches him—defying expectations that uncleanness spreads—showing that true holiness restores rather than recoils. Then Jesus sends him to the priest, honoring Levitical law while revealing a greater authority. And just when the crowds swell, Jesus withdraws to pray, choosing dependence over platform and reminding us where lasting power is found.Inside the packed house, persistence takes center stage. The friends' faith looks like action, and Jesus responds with a shocking first move: “Your sins are forgiven.” The scribes bristle—only God can forgive sins—and Jesus meets their thoughts with the title Son of Man, echoing Daniel 7. To prove his authority on earth to forgive, he commands the man to rise, and he does, immediately. Awe, fear, and praise flood the room as a community watches forgiveness turn into footsteps.Along the way, we press into three anchors—purpose, persistence, and practice. Purpose asks what Jesus is really after: not just comfort, but communion with God. Persistence asks how far we'll go to bring ourselves and our friends to grace. Practice asks whether we'll obey quickly and return to prayer like Jesus did. We end with three questions to carry into your week: What condition are you hiding that Jesus is willing to touch? Are you the paralytic, the Pharisee, or the roof friend today? If you've been forgiven, why are you still on the mat?If this journey through Luke 5 stirred something in you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, we sit down with Rob Gray, one of the leading voices in ecological dynamics and modern skill acquisition. Rob is a professor at Arizona State University, author of How We Learn to Move, How to Be an Ecological Coach, and Learning to Optimize Movement, and host of the Perception & Action Podcast. Together, we unpack the difference between skill acquisition and skill adaptation, why variability is a feature, not a bug, of elite performance, and how coaches can rethink what it actually means to “teach” a movement.We dive deep into representative learning design, task simplification vs. task decomposition, internal vs. external focus, and how to educate attention and intention inside practice environments. From Steph Curry's functional variability to small-sided games, donor sports, and manipulating constraints, this conversation challenges traditional drill-based coaching and offers practical ways to design environments that allow skill to emerge.00:00 Introduction and Rob's current projects 06:31 Defining skill: Skill as a functional relationship with the environment 07:25 Skill acquisition vs. skill adaptation 08:28 Steph Curry and functional movement variability 12:34 Moving beyond surface-level representative learning design 15:41 Task decomposition vs. task simplification 18:25 Why more variability if variability is already inherent? 20:10 Blocked shooting vs. nonlinear learning approaches 22:29 Emergence of technique and why coaches shouldn't prescribe everything 24:18 The power of demonstration and observational learning 27:33 Explicit vs. implicit instruction and educating attention 31:21 Internal vs. external focus and performance differences 33:17 Practical ways to educate attention in practice 35:09 Educating intention and shifting athlete goals 38:31 Ecological dynamics applied to American football 40:50 Invasion sports and spatial manipulation 41:45 Donor sports and transfer between domains 45:51 Visual behavior, pattern recognition, and perception-action couplingCoaching Resources: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/BAM Blueprint Book: https://byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprint-bookIf you enjoyed this episode, share it with a coach who's rethinking how they design practice—and leave a review to help more coaches discover the show.

As a young parent I heard the phrase "relationship over rules." As a young parent I heard the phrase “relationship over rules” as it pertained to parenting.This idea encouraged me that the whole reason for having a rule or boundary was to protect and love my child. Authoritarian parenting was about me feeling in control, showing up from fear, and/or avoiding doing my own emotional regulation work.We can also think of ‘relationship over rules' in terms of our relationship and friendship with ourselves. No matter what, safety and compassion need to come first. Without safety we cannot grow, heal, or learn. And we deserve kindness always, no matter what.We are always simply practicing – always in progress. And life is always changing. No matter how hard we work or how wonderful our life plans, we'll go through days or seasons when we need to flex and adapt due to illness, lower energetic capacity, or other unexpected circumstances.This idea of relationship over rules reminds us that our self-imposed rules and boundaries are there to serve us. Not the other way around. So when life doesn't go according to plan, don't tip into judging and criticizing. Be adaptable. Take good care of yourself. Be on your own side, always, no matter what.Join me for the free Befriend Yourself Workshop, March 24 or 25: https://www.alifeinprogress.ca/befriend-yourself-workshop/

In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Sandy and Dana discuss one of the most overlooked leadership systems in dental practices: documentation. Many practice owners believe conversations alone are enough to manage team performance, only to find themselves in difficult situations when there is no written record of expectations, warnings, or accountability. This conversation breaks down what should be in a personnel file, why documentation protects both the practice and the employee, and how proper record keeping makes leadership clearer and more consistent. If you have ever thought, "We've talked about this before," but nothing was written down, this episode will help you understand why documentation matters and how to implement it properly in your practice. Topics We Discuss Why documentation protects both the practice and the employee The most common documentation mistakes practices make What should be included in a personnel file Why verbal conversations are not enough The difference between coaching, counseling, and written warnings When documentation should begin What should be included in a termination letter State separation notices and employment documentation requirements How documentation strengthens leadership and accountability Special thanks to our sponsors:

Caleb and Brittany are podcasting from Las Vegas during the ConExpo construction trade show. They discusses their business operations, including the launch of a new coaching group and Brittany's upcoming presentation on business growth. A significant portion of the conversation focuses on financial maturity, where they credit budgeting software and CFO services for transforming their company from a struggling venture into a profitable seven-figure business. They reflect on the necessity of professionalizing operations and moving away from "management by chaos" to achieve long-term stability. The episode serves as both a travel log of their time in Nevada and an educational resource for contractors seeking to improve their administrative systems.   Key Takeaways: Avoid the temptation to fill your schedule with "junk work" during slow periods and instead remain selective to ensure you are available for high-quality projects that fit your ideal business profile. Utilize professional budgeting and management software to clearly see your numbers and ensure that every job you take is generating a real profit. Shift from reactive to proactive financial management by working with a CFO who can help you plan for future growth rather than just looking at past performance. Develop the confidence to charge higher prices by respecting the value of your work and understanding the actual overhead costs required to run a sustainable business. Practice long-term financial foresight by incrementally budgeting for future major expenses, such as new equipment or facilities, well before you actually need to make the purchase.

Matt continues our four-part series about the practice of sabbath, which Jesus called, “rest for your souls.” What does it mean to stop, rest, delight, and worship? "The Practice of Sabbath" is part of "Practicing the Way."

Pastor Steve teaches that fasting trains us to walk in freedom from our flesh while also forming in us the holiness of Christ.

What does Communion really mean, and why did Jesus institute it? In Luke 22, during the Passover meal with His disciples, Jesus revealed that the ancient story of Israel's deliverance was ultimately pointing to Him. Through the bread and the cup, He showed that His body would be given and His blood shed for our redemption. In this message we explore how Communion reinterprets Passover, reveals our redemption, reminds us of our Savior, and continues to shape the life of the church today.

Topical Sermons / Speaker:Berry Kercheville “And He Gave Evangelists…” (3) Introduction: Purpose of these lessons: Understanding the need of and the work of an evangelist is critical whether you stay at this church or must relocate. It is disturbing to often see both evangelists and shepherds who do not know or practice what God called them to do. Ephesians 4:11-16 reminds us of the importance of evangelists and shepherds in a local church as gifts God has given to equip Christians so that every part of the body can do its share, which causes the growth of the body and the edifying of itself in love. My primary purpose in these lessons has been to call attention to the great need we have throughout the brotherhood to raise up evangelists and shepherds who truly reflect God's purposes in Ephesians 4:11-16. The work of evangelists has especially been an enigma to Christians everywhere partially because we evangelists tend not to say much about our work and also because there are considerable differences in how preachers do their work. Thus it is easy for Christians to be confused about what the word is supposed to be and what we should look for in a preacher.  In this final lesson of our series we will consider the challenges & expectations of a prospective preacher and the challenges of a church in their relationship with him and his work. The Preacher and the Local Church Woodland Hills is not a typical church, especially when it comes to preaching and teaching. Not many churches have the number of men and women who possess the drive and desire to know God's word and the talent to teach/preach the word. Because of you, such desire and talent becomes contagious, causing others to want to join in the effort.  Ephesians 4:15-16 “…Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love. That's God's goal and purpose for us and the elders and I love the work and progress in that regard. The church is learning to build itself up in love. Beautiful. Therefore, training other men to teach and preach (who have no plans of full-time preaching) is vital to the future and health of a church. We need future shepherds who have been trained and practiced in preaching and teaching. That has been a major failure in many congregations. Ephesians 4:11-16 includes the shepherds in equipping the saints.  Preaching and teaching creates a maturing of the church as a whole. Ephesians 4:15— Maturity is indicated by the ability to speak the truth in love.  Remember, we have a responsibility to the kingdom, not just to this church. Preparing and training men and women to teach (2 Timothy 2:2) is important for the kingdom as a whole when some of our members have the need to move to others areas (Julie is teaching a woman in Florence, AL that may never have heard the gospel if she did not move there).  However, as mentioned previously, there is more to the work of an evangelist than just a sermon. It is not uncommon for a men to get good at preaching a sermon, and then decide that qualifies them to be an evangelist. Or, the church decides we do not need a preacher because the men can just do the preaching. This has led to the increasing problem for churches who have a man who never trained and therefore does not understand the work. He can give a sermon, but does not know how to lead and equip the church in evangelism and spiritual growth. A topical sermon once a week is not going to do that.  The last two churches Teresa and I visited were clearly floundering. The goal of the church was to just to have a worship service and have someone preach a sermon. The sermons were “okay” but were not with purpose or direction to equip the church for the goal of Ephesians 4.  Two problems typically exist: Visitors will never come back for that kind of preaching, nor will members do any inviting. Evangelism is simply not on the radar. In fact, the only “evangelism” done is “church-building evangelism”—if the lost want to be saved, they know where we are!  It may surprise you, but the most important part of a good preacher training program is the amount of time the one being trained spends with the preacher! (Many preachers do not do this because it is so time-consuming) When we see training in the NT, it is on the job; it is a mentorship. When I train, the man goes with me to all studies so he can see and learn. He is with me in the “office next door” so that I'm available to him every time he has a question. Many hours are spent with me preparing him with my years of experience so that he is ready to face the work by himself.  [Recent young man was told he was “ready” after preaching a few sermons]. I know what it is like to start preaching without a mentor who can give me his experience. (1) Years of trial and error and bad mistakes. (2) Unimaginable stress. (3) A church that has to deal with my inexperience. The above also brings up the importance of a good church who is patient with an evangelist (young, but also the older!). Doctors speak of their work as a “practice,” and so it is with a preacher, there is always growth and learning that must continue. What a Church (and Preacher) Need to Know about Preaching (Seven General Abilities and Traits Needed to Preach) A passion and ability to study the scriptures—“But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:14-17).   A willingness and ability to teach the word both to Christians and to the lost—“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control…what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also…do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 1:6-7; 2:2; 4:5). An evangelist should always be looking for an opportunity. This is not about just teaching at the building. A passion and skill to preach—“…devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching…Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching” (1 Timothy 4:13; 2 Timothy 4:2). There are two extremes: (1) “I just like to preach,” and (2) “I would prefer to just teach the lost.” Disciplined work habits—“Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress” (1 Timothy 4:14-15). A person who loves people, is good with people; friendly, loving, and caring—“And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness…” (2 Timothy 2:24-25). True also of shepherds! Some preachers are loners. Some spend too much time with members, they do not study enough. A person who has an exemplary lifestyle—“an example to the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity…Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1 Timothy 4:12, 16). You are a Christian first, then a Christian who preaches.  A person who is able to handle the pressure and stress of the job—“As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 4:5). Preacher Challenges a Church Needs to Know Every preacher will occasionally fall into a “rut” that he is not aware of, whether in sermon delivery or sermon topics. Examples: Filler words: um, uh, like, “right” (at the end of a sentence), just, etc.  Length of sermon (which is usually just trying to cover more material that can be comfortably assimilated for the time period given). Over-estimating the audience given the “brief” setting of our worship. An FC lecture is 50 minutes given to people who are expecting it. Further, there is not an 90 minute worship lead up to the lecture. Wanting to tell you everything we have studied and thus, adding points into a sermon, that though interesting, are not necessary to the message of the sermon, and therefore detract from the message. Especially in this regard, a sermon must be different than a Bible class. More details can be given in a class setting than in a sermon. The above is where members can come to the rescue! “Did you realize that you have been doing “thus and so” in your preaching?  The challenge of preaching to the new Christian and the mature Christian.  Preparing a sermon is not like “making a widget” or baking an apple pie for the one hundredth time. Each week starts from scratch. Each week is a brand new creative challenge. There is no doubt sermons would be better and possibly avoid some pitfalls if we could spend 40 hours to prepare a sermon instead of 15. But that would neglect teaching the lost and other parts of the work.  Many times members are amazed with how great a “meeting preacher” is with his sermons. And I completely agree. But I can tell you that if you go online and listen to this same preacher every week at his home church, it will be good, but usually not as great as the meeting sermons. Why? If he does a lot of meetings, he will have preached and refined the meeting sermons many times. That isn't possible with the first time he preaches it at the home church. Question: Is it acceptable to have a preacher who does not in some way lead the church in and participate in sharing the gospel with the lost? To be sure, all preachers have different talents. Some of us are not very good at setting up Bible studies with the lost (we often do not have many opportunities). But, there is no excuse for not doing “your share” with the abilities you do have.  Paul tells Timothy, “If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed…Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” (1 Timothy 4:6, 12) I have known preachers to say, “I'm just not good at evangelism.” I'm sorry, you must be misunderstanding what God is requiring here: If you know enough about the Bible to preach a sermon, you surely known enough to teach Mark and Acts to someone who is lost. And you certainly should be working on your knowledge & skills of teaching and answering commonly asked questions. [my beginning was without any knowledge of how to reach the lost] You may feel inadequate in a conversation with a person you do not know well, but (1) you can practice just getting to know a person, and (2) you can rely on other Christians and their talents to bring you opportunities. It is one things to feel inadequate (Moses certainly did, as many of the prophets), but it is another to take on the role of an evangelist and decide not to do evangelism Conclusion: I hope these lessons have helped you better understand the need of evangelists and the challenges of both churches and evangelists. All of us need to be a part of encouraging and promoting the preparation needed to produce evangelists an shepherds in a local church. It starts at a young age!

In Ephesians 6, Paul describes the armor of God and tells believers to take up “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” When Jesus faces off with the devil in the wilderness, he uses Scripture as his main defense. Each temptation from the devil was met with a specific truth from God's Word. In the same way, we too are called to apply Scripture specifically to our lives in order to combat the deceptions, accusations, resistance, and temptations from the enemy. The more we saturate our minds with Scripture, the more the Holy Spirit brings specific verses, promises, or truths to our minds in the moments we need them most.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Mar08.pdf * Approximately one month ago, we began considering the Pursuit and Practice of our Lives as a result of the Perfect Propitiatory Sacrifice of Christ on our behalf. We should be committed to running the race which has been set before us and to pursue our conformance to the image of Christ - both in thought and deed. In doing so, we must keep Christ as the focus of our faith. * During the last two weeks, we saw that we have been freed from a bondage to works in order to merit salvation; through Christ, the just shall live by faith. That faith is grounded in the grace of God. God, by His grace, has afforded us this privilege of knowing Him and serving Him through faith. As a result we ought to desire to reflect the holiness and love of God in our lives in our actions. However, we were reminded that though God extends His grace, He is still a "consuming fire." Jesus Christ - God incarnate - is the same yesterday, today and forever! * Today, we come to the final portion of the letter to the Hebrews. In this portion, which we will take two weeks to cover, we see a listing of final exhortations. These are important "final" thoughts, providing us commands and exhortations regarding our relationship with God and with others. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on March 8, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Your practice probably isn't collapsing. But it might be losing its separation from the one down the street.In this episode, Dr. Dave introduces Focus Freefall — what happens when preventable switching becomes the default operating environment inside a dental practice. Here's what you'll discover: The Hidden Cost of Constant Switching: Why the small interruptions everyone accepts as “just dentistry” are aggressively draining attention across your entire team. The Moment Patients Stop Feeling the Difference: Why presence — not clinical perfection — is what actually drives loyalty, treatment acceptance, and referrals. How Disengagement Quietly Spreads: Why distracted environments flatten decision quality, erode ownership, and slowly weaken culture. ▶️ Listen now to understand Focus Freefall—and why seeing it is the first step to building an Irreplaceable Practice.

  The Art of Ubuntu—your layered practice day, designed to help everything you've learned this week become simple, usable, and real. In today's meditation, you'll gently combine the core techniques from earlier sessions—breath, mudra, grounding, and an Ubuntu affirmation—so you can settle your nervous system and return to connection in just a few minutes. This is a supportive practice for busy days or emotionally heavy moments, reminding you that belonging isn't something you have to chase—it's something you can return to, breath by breath, right where you are. ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Art of Ubuntu—a meditation series inspired by the African philosophy that reminds us: "I am because we are." Ubuntu is the practice of remembering our shared humanity—especially in moments when life feels isolating, tense, or divided. It's not about being perfect or "nice." It's about choosing presence, dignity, and compassion—so you can feel more grounded in yourself while also feeling more connected to others. In this series, each meditation will help you strengthen the inner skills that make Ubuntu real in daily life: steadiness in your nervous system, warmth in your heart, and a clear sense of belonging. You'll explore what it means to offer kindness without self-abandonment, to set boundaries without losing your humanity, and to live with the quiet strength of community-minded love. Let this be your daily reminder that healing isn't only personal—it's relational—and your peace becomes even more powerful when it's shared. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Ubuntu Mindfulness: A Gentle Practice to Feel Less Alone" episodes 2572-2578. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE - CO-CREATOR QUEST Every day connect with the world around you in a meaningful way. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY  Day 1:  VISUALIZATION: Compassion Day 2:  AFFIRMATION: "I am a part of everything around me."
