Get Your Soul Praising: Call to Worship (Psalm 103) Jack Napier

On a very special episode of the Take-Up podcast, Josh and Andrew peer into the memory palace of Sophy Romvari's semi-auto-biographical debut Blue Heron, giving their own two cents on one of the most acclaimed films of the year. Praising the introspection and heartbreak, they admire the dedication to the late-90s childhood period drama that manages to hold its own against the other semi-biographical late 90s childhood trauma drama they inevitably compare it to.Comparisons aside, prepare for a deep discussion about regret and loss for a movie that provides the most therapeutic Take-Up episode yet. Next, they have One More Thing, bringing up Kate Folk's objectophilic tale of love, sex, death, and plane crashes in her novel Sky Daddy, and Milagros Mumenthaler's hydrophobia-centered psychological drama The Currents.In two weeks, on the Take-Up's 105th episode (or 100th, according to JoshMath), our hosts will do the impossible and look back on their past talks and figure out if any of the films they discussed deserve a spot on the Take-Up Canon. Finally, they will answer the question: Does Gus van Sant's Psycho get to be in the canon? Until then, read on at the thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

What do you do when life is hard and praise feels impossible? Psalm 149 calls believers to raise a hallelujah not just in the good times, but in suffering and spiritual warfare too. Boasting in God is not a passive response. It is one of the most powerful acts of faith you can choose. Which season are you in right now, and what would it look like to praise Him in the middle of it?

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Ezra and Nehemiah, following Israel's return from exile as they begin the long work of rebuilding Jerusalem, the temple, and their covenant relationship with God. These chapters remind us that every story of faith includes moments of starting again, and that the Lord is always ready to welcome His people home. As the people lay the temple's foundation, face opposition, and press forward despite discouragement, they discover that rebuilding rarely happens all at once. Faith grows one step at a time through small, consistent acts of devotion, even when progress feels slow. Again and again, scripture reminds us that the good hand of God is upon His people, strengthening them as they continue the work He has called them to do. This episode also highlights the role of prophets in times of rebuilding. Through the words of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, we see that God's servants encourage, strengthen, and remind His people of who they truly are. Rather than being defined by past mistakes, the Lord invites us to accept His new decree over our lives and move forward with faith, courage, and joy. Above all, Ezra and Nehemiah testify that rebuilding is not a story of shame but of hope. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we remember His goodness, recognize His hand in our lives, and choose once again to walk with Him. No matter where we begin, His gracious hand is always reaching out, inviting us to build something beautiful with Him.

One of the Hebrew words for praise is "todah" which means to offer praise regardless of circumstances. It also means to give thanks for things not yet received. In Life, we will have seasons where it will be hard to praise because all we see is pain and loss. Join me as I look at Hebrews 13:15. I pray this message stirs your passion for the Lord.

These songs of Ascents (120-134) reflect the Israelite's journey to Jerusalem, and form a microcosm of life.  Praising the Creator and asking for His help and protection are themes found in this special group of Psalms.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal.I never tire of seeing God at work in our lives. Too often (like most), I only want to see the ends, but the means are where the details shine. Leah's life is a testimony to this. She grew up in a dysfunctional family, the daughter of father who never saw her worth, treating her as a commodity for his financial future. She spent the early years of her marriage frustrated and alone, praying God would make her husband care and heal the wound of her loveless pain. Leah's life shows us wounds are where the light shines through. As Leah lamented the injustice of her life, the radiance of God's presence shone through her, revealing His loving character to her and a thousand generations (Deuteronomy 7.9). From the very beginning, God gave Leah a voice. We see this in the name of her children. It's through this naming that we see the first ray of light shining through the darkness at Judah's birth. Praising, Leah found her worth rooted in God's love above and beyond all other relationships. What had been withheld in human deficiency was amply offered in the Lord (Issachar), and to whatever end, God honored her (Zebulun) where others failed.It should come as no surprise that the God who uses the weak things of the world to shame the strong would choose Leah, the marginalized matriarch, to bring about His redemptive plan for all humanity (1 Corinthians 1.27)! Through her the Lord gave the Law (through Moses of Levi). Through her descendants Tola (of Issachar) and Elon (of Zebulun) His people lived at peace 33 years during the time of Judges. And through David (of Judah) God built an everlasting throne for His Messiah. And in the fullness of time, in the lands of Zebulun, Jesus would first proclaim the Good News—fulfilling the prophesy of Isaiah—and people who walked in darkness would see a great light! (Isaiah 9.1-2).But back up for a second? That's the ends. Leah never saw any of that. She never saw beyond her days. Her children, the great men and women who shook and shaped the world, came later. All she knew (all we know) was the love of God here and now. And that was enough.

If You're a FAN leave me a message :-) But more importantly, let us know what you think, suggestions, topics, constructive criticism... ALL WELCOME!!In this episode of The Executive Five, I tackle a problem many executive teams miss until it is too late: strong managers quietly compensating for weak systems. When your best leaders are constantly fixing unclear ownership, poor sequencing, broken handoffs, and leadership ambiguity, the business can look more stable than it really is. This five-minute executive brief shows how structural debt gets hidden inside high performance, why your strongest managers are often subsidising the system, and what senior leaders need to see before burnout, disengagement, or resignation exposes the real cost.Key TakeawaysStrong managers often make broken systems look functional.Calm on the surface can hide heavy structural strain underneath.Hidden work like re-explaining, rescuing, and smoothing conflict is often a sign of design failure.Praising heroic managers is not enough if the structure that exhausts them stays in place.Executives need to trace repeated friction upward and remove the cause, not just admire the people carrying it.Support the showContact me:Daniel@the-success-blueprint.co.zawww.mindworx.bizdaniel@mindsworx.comInstagram: @Mindworx_Coaching

A Note from James:Today on the show, I have a very special guest and a good friend of mine, Brandon Webb.Brandon has been on the show many times before. He's a former Navy SEAL, and he also ran the Navy SEAL sniper school that trained some of the best snipers in the world, including the sniper the movie American Sniper was based on. He's written a ton of books about the military, leadership, confidence, mental toughness, and even military thrillers. A few weeks ago, we talked about what was going on in Iran, and I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode too.His new book is Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident & Joyful Kids. This is not your typical parenting book. It's not filled with abstract academic theory. I hate those books. This is written by a dad who has been through war, divorce, rebuilding businesses, and raising three kids as a committed co-parent after he and his ex-wife split.And I know his kids. From my perspective, he's done a great job.As a father myself, I was really interested in this book. And even beyond parenting, it was useful for thinking about the kind of discipline I need to apply to myself. I've been divorced. I've had failed businesses. It's hard navigating those life traumas while also trying to be a good father. Brandon has lived that, and he writes about it honestly.So let's get into it. My friend, the one and only Brandon Webb. Welcome back to the show.Episode Description:James talks with former Navy SEAL, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and father of three Brandon Webb about parenting, co-parenting, discipline, confidence, failure, and what it actually takes to raise resilient kids.Brandon's new book, Puddle Jumpers, is not a parenting book written from an ivory tower. It comes from lived experience: war, divorce, rebuilding after business failure, co-parenting across households, and trying to raise kids who can handle real life. His central point is simple but difficult: kids need love, support, boundaries, and enough ordinary stress to develop confidence.The conversation is practical and personal. Brandon explains why successful co-parenting requires putting the kids ahead of old resentments, why parents should ask better questions, why punishment without understanding the “why” can backfire, and why kids need to experience failure instead of being protected from every hard moment.What makes this episode useful is that the advice works beyond parenting. The same ideas—take responsibility, ask better questions, tolerate discomfort, celebrate small wins, and learn from failure—apply to adults too.What You'll Learn:Why Brandon wrote a parenting book after years of writing about the military, leadership, and mental toughness.How he and his ex-wife built a healthy co-parenting relationship after divorce.Why “happy mom, happy kids” became one of his guiding principles.How everyday stressors—ordering food, asking for an autograph, taking the subway—build real confidence in kids.Why parents should praise effort, risk-taking, and resilience rather than simply telling kids they are smart.How to discipline with love by getting to the “why” behind bad behavior.Why sometimes the best parenting move is not advocating for your kid.How to help kids find purpose by exposing them to lots of people, places, skills, and experiences.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Brandon on parent-to-parent advice versus academic theory[03:02] A Note from James: Brandon Webb returns[04:42] From Navy SEAL books to a parenting book[05:27] Why Brandon never expected to write about parenting[06:14] Friends asking Brandon for parenting advice[07:25] Why he saw a gap in parenting books[08:12] Applying SEAL mental management tools to parenting[09:01] Co-parenting after divorce[09:29] Brandon's ex-wife and kids joining the audiobook[09:47] Publishing with Authors Equity[11:07] Why co-parenting often breaks down[11:48] How the family court system can create conflict[13:22] The therapist who helped Brandon and Gretchen divorce well[15:29] “Happy mom, happy kids”[16:31] Responding when plans change after divorce[17:35] What the kids remember about healthy co-parenting[18:24] Why each chapter could be its own book[19:41] Building confidence and celebrating small wins[21:00] The power of ordinary stress[21:53] Asking for an autograph and building courage[23:33] Why kids need “wind” to grow stronger roots[24:47] The New York subway story and trusting kids[25:31] Failure, responsibility, and protecting kids too much[26:35] Praising effort versus praising intelligence[28:26] Brandon's daughter failing her belt test[30:19] Why painful moments can become gifts[30:53] What Brandon wishes he had done better as a father[31:51] Three questions Brandon asked his kids[32:36] Why parents need to ask better questions[33:22] One-on-one trips with each child[34:00] Questions that led to a four-hour dinner conversation[38:25] Discipline, emotional reactions, and over-punishment[39:43] Getting to the “why” behind behavior[42:00] The pizza delivery suspension story[43:25] Changing the environment when a kid is struggling[44:26] Discipline checklist and making kids feel heard[44:49] When parents over-advocate[45:10] Getting kicked off the basketball team[46:00] The talented jerk problem[46:38] What changed when Brandon took the coach's feedback seriously[48:24] Accountability, consequences, and adult life[49:00] Helping kids find purpose[49:39] Travel, culture, and exposing kids to new experiences[50:14] Supporting a child's talent when it shows up[51:17] What to do when your kid chooses a path you don't love[52:33] Becoming an advisor as kids grow up[53:14] Why mentors matter[53:32] Purpose changes over time[56:23] Creating a “forever family”[57:26] Brandon reads a letter from his daughter[59:23] Why the lessons apply to adults too[01:00:07] Closing thoughts on Puddle JumpersAdditional ResourcesPuddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident & Joyful KidsBrandon Webb's official websiteSOFREP, the military and foreign policy news site Brandon runsPuddle Jumpers Parenting, Brandon's Substack on raising joyful, resilient kidsWall Street Journal interview with Brandon Webb about Puddle JumpersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today our guest is Devon Wible, Vice President of Teaching and Learning at Catapult Learning. Devon works directly with schools and districts to design high-impact tutoring programs that fit inside existing MTSS systems — helping the students most likely to fall through the cracks actually get the support they need. She also explains how relationship-building sits at the center of this work, not as an add-on, but as the core driver of academic and behavioral outcomes. When students feel seen and supported in small-group settings, attendance goes up, behavior challenges go down, and learning accelerates. In this conversation, Devon offers important reminders for educators and leaders: Praising the process over the product builds resilience and strengthens relationships with both students and staff. High-impact tutoring done well produces four to six additional months of learning in just 10 to 12 weeks, and those gains tend to stick. Relationship is not something you add to the work when there's time, relationship is the work. Learn More About CharacterStrong:  Access FREE MTSS Curriculum Samples Request a Quote Today!
