AI is changing sales fast. But is it actually replacing salespeople, or is it exposing the sellers who never developed real strategy skills? That's the question I explore in this conversation with John Stopper.John and I get into the difference between sales tactics and sales strategy, why AI can sometimes give sellers the wrong picture of a buyer, and why getting closer to the people involved in a deal can make the difference between winning and losing. We also talk about how sales teams can use AI to identify deal risks instead of simply using it to write more emails.Why AI Makes Sales Strategy More ImportantAI can teach people sales tactics, but strategy requires a deeper understanding of the situation.Tactics focus on how to sell, while strategy focuses on who, what, when, where, and why.AI can help sellers execute many tactical tasks, but sellers still need to decide which approach fits the buyer and the situation.Strong sales strategy starts with understanding customers and what will actually compel them to buy.The goal is to choose the right strategy based on the conditions of the deal.Tactics vs. Strategy: The Baseball Analogy — 03:38Knowing how to throw every pitch does not mean you know which pitch to throw.A baseball pitcher may have four or five pitches available.The right pitch depends on the batter, pitch count, runners on base, and inning.Sales works the same way. The skill is not just knowing the sales playbook but knowing which strategy to use in the moment.Choosing the right strategy can improve your position, accelerate velocity, and compress time.The Principle of Reality: Don't Trust Every AI Answer AI can give both buyers and sellers information that does not accurately reflect the current situation.Buyers can use AI to research a salesperson or company before the first conversation.Sellers can also build their account research around outdated or incomplete information.A polished AI summary can create false confidence if it does not reflect what is actually happening.Sellers should verify their assumptions instead of treating AI research as unquestionable fact.How to Surface Reality With Better Questions The first sales conversation is an opportunity to check whether both sides are working from the right information.Ask the buyer what their AI research has shown them about your company, product, or you.Share what your research has shown you about their company and ask whether you have it right.Use the conversation to identify what is missing from your research.Verify the situation before choosing your sales strategy.Different Buyers Require Different StrategiesThe right message depends on the person you are selling to.End users often care about doing their jobs faster, better, or cheaper.Managers may care more about how a solution affects their team and the risks involved.Executives are more likely to focus on strategic growth and business outcomes.Sellers need to understand the buyer's role before deciding what value to emphasize.The Principle of Proximity: Get Closer to the Buyer “Proximity sells” because sellers need to understand the buyer's world deeply enough to bring useful insight.Proximity is not about becoming the buyer's friend.It means understanding the buyer's business and seeing things from both inside and outside perspectives.Sellers should get close to the people who can influence the deal, not only the person who can approve it.Outside experience can help sellers bring insights the buyer may not have considered.Find the People Who Can Say No A deal can have strong champions and still fail because someone else inside the organization has the power to stop it.Identify the people who may resist the purchase.Ask your champion who in the organization could have concerns about the solution.Reach out to those people directly instead of waiting for their objections to appear later.Address potential resistance before it becomes a deal-ending problem.Use AI to Identify Deal Risk AI can be useful when it helps sellers think through what could go wrong.Ask AI to research the people and roles that may resist a purchase.Identify possible objections and resistance points before they appear.Continue updating the research as the deal progresses because new risks can emerge.Use AI to help build a deal strategy around what could prevent the deal from closing.Bridging Strategy: Build Relationships Across the Account One salesperson should not have to carry every relationship in a complex B2B deal.Sales managers can connect with the buyer's manager.Product leaders can connect with the buyer's technical leaders.CEOs can connect with other executives when the situation calls for it.Each person can carry a message that matches their role and expertise.Multiple relationships can help both companies become more familiar with each other.Why Executives Still Have a Role in Selling Executive involvement can be part of the sales process, especially when selling complex solutions.Executives have revenue responsibilities too.A salesperson can prepare an executive with the person's profile, the situation, the message to communicate, and the information to bring back.AI can take more operational work off the team's plate.That creates more room for leaders to spend time with customers and support revenue-generating conversations.Salespeople Need to Become Strategists As AI makes more sales information and tactics available, the ability to create useful insight becomes more important.AI has reduced the advantage that once came from simply knowing sales tactics.Sellers need to know how to use information, not just access it.The goal is to tell buyers something they do not already know.Strategy determines what insight to deliver, when to deliver it, and who should deliver it.Human-to-Human Selling Still Matters AI and digital tools should not replace direct conversations with buyers.At minimum, sellers should use video calls when meeting in person is not possible.Direct conversations can help uncover what digital research misses.Meeting a buyer in person can build trust and show a willingness to make an effort.Sales still depends on human relationships, especially when decisions are complex.Key Quote from the Episode“AI has commoditized a lot of that advantage. So now to me, selling and strategy is about how can I tell them something they don't know?” — John StopperResources:John Stopper: johnstopper.comJohn's website also offers a free, no-obligation deal strategy report.

In Yevamos 105b, the dramatic encounter between Avdan and רבי ישמעאל ברבי יוסי becomes the basis for a powerful yesod in tochachah, lashon hara, and judging others. Why was Avdan punished only after he himself stepped through the talmidim—the very behavior for which he had just criticized רבי ישמעאל? The Chafetz Chaim connects this to the remarkable case of Yehu, who was commanded by Hashem to destroy the house of Achav, yet was later held accountable after he himself became connected to the same aveirah for which he had punished them. Together with the words of Rabbeinu Yonah, we explore a fundamental question: even when another person truly deserves criticism, can you be the one to expose or condemn him when you share the same failing? And even when speaking negatively is technically permitted for a genuine to'eles, how do we know that our motivation is really לשם שמים and not personal animosity or שמחה לאיד? A fascinating sugya about הפוסל במומו פוסל, the responsibility created when we judge another person, and the much higher standard the Torah demands from the one giving the תוכחה.

A few weeks ago, one of Sarah Persich's clients dropped an AI agent into their Slack workspace. Sarah gave it the criteria her client's intake team is supposed to follow on calls — build rapport, handle objections, gather the right information — and asked it to listen to the recorded calls and grade every person against those criteria. It came back ten minutes later with work that would have taken weeks by hand. The tool is Viktor. We spend a good chunk of this episode on it, because it runs inside Slack or Teams and it's proactive. It doesn't wait to be asked. But the tool isn't the whole story. Sarah calls herself a fractional integrator, and it's a role many small firms need without knowing what to call it. Which means they never go looking for one. We talk about where Zapier still fits, why connecting Claude to your email and calendar matters more than it sounds, and where I'd draw the line on giving AI access to your browser.

The road to Arris One finally comes to an end, but the battle for the Harmonium has only just begun. Within the shielded walls of the military outpost, the crew meets General Libra, one of the few commanders still capable of coordinating the planet’s fractured defenses. The heroes’ destination is Principle, the Harmonium’s ancient center of power, information, and infrastructure. Somewhere beneath its foundations lies a secret buried so deeply that even most of the Harmonium believes it to be little more than a legend. A Titan, known as Statera. As fleets clash across the skies, the crew sets out not for the front lines, but for the quiet place beneath them, where history has been waiting a very long time to be uncovered.

Lured Up Podcast 408: Deflating Balloons Live Streamed on - 9/10/2026 What a week it has been in Pokémon GO! Last weekend we had the GO Fest: Mega Finale, which came up a bit short for some Trainers. While we all play this game differently, the lack of Field Research seemed to impact everyone. The event would have felt a bit more rounded if we had it. We also discuss the increased Shiny rate that was advertised as part of the GO Pass Deluxe, but didn't feel real during the event.  The event train continues to steam on, as we have Mega Squads this week and Gible Community Day Classic this weekend. The calendar is actually stacked for the rest of the month, including the Boston City Safari, that both Adam and I will be attending. Scopely released their map of the Eevee Stamp Rally and it is bonkers! We are ready for the challenge however and will be completing the entire thing on Saturday, 9/26! Stay tuned for details on out adventure if you would like to join us! The big news this week has been about Scopely silently nerfing Rocket Balloons down to just one a day. While you would think this isn't that big a deal, apparently all of X happens to be diehard balloon grinders. Ken mixes it up in the swamp and has some fun, but still managed to put together a nice blog that details his thoughts on why this could have happened. Could there be a silver lining in there somewhere? Finally, our Professor's Principle is about how easy it can be to confuse inconvenience for injustice. We find the parallel between life and Pokémon GO using the balloon situation as a palette. When things become so engrained in our daily routines, having that changed feels like a personal attack. We do our best to make sense of the situation and detail what could be the actual motivation behind the change. Will we ever get an official statement for Scopely about it? Probably not, so let's inappropriately speculate on it instead!

A new report from Defense Priorities has a radical proposal: End US alliances with South Korea, Japan, Australia, and the Philippines; drastically cut US military presence in East Asia; declare a non-intervention policy on Taiwan; and shift US military strategy from defending a "first-island chain" defense perimeter to the "second-island chain." Dr. Van Jackson explains the meaning and implications of this proposal and evaluates it from the perspective of anti-militarist anti-imperialism. Based on previous research, he also proposes the standard for "progressive foreign policy," whether progressives and socialists should support this new proposal, and no proposal for changing military strategy has a chance of stabilizing Asia if it does not prioritize the concept of the "Asian Peace."

Is your 100% Vision actually running your school, or just sitting on top of the same plan you had last year? I sat down with a group of principals who had already written their 100% Visions and built their school improvement plans around them. But when I covered their vision with my hand and read the rest of the plan, I couldn't tell what promise they'd made to their students. In this episode, I break down why so many principals believe in 100%, work hard to pursue it, and still end up reproducing the exact same work they were doing before — and I show you how to turn your vision into a filter that decides what stays, what goes, and what you can finally take off your plate without guilt. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a bold new vision can make your staff feel pressure instead of possibility How to tell if your school improvement plan was actually built from your vision — or just labeled with it The difference between reacting to data and responding to it Why "be stubborn on the vision, flexible on the details" changes what belongs on your plan How to find the one obstacle standing between your school and its vision, and remove it in 90 days Timestamps: 0:00 — Why your 100% Vision might be quietly making your job harder 1:15 — The plan that looked right on paper (a principal group's SIP, reviewed) 6:45 — What I'm Seeing: the "Temu version of Buildership" 11:15 — How We Were Trained: vision as slogan, not filter 15:30 — The 100% Principle: turning your vision into a filter 22:45 — What's At Stake: why an unfiltered vision becomes pressure instead of possibility 28:45 — Your 100% Move: the hand-cover test to try this week Resources & Links: Join the 100% Collective: https://buildershipuniversity.com/collective  Learn more about Buildership University: https://buildershipuniversity.com  Subscribe to The 100% Principal Newsletter: https://100percentprincipal.com  Enjoyed this episode?

Most painting contractors don't start a painting business for 90-hour weeks — they start it for time and money freedom. So why do so many end up doing estimates at 9 PM, taking customer calls on weekends, and covering jobs when a painter doesn't show?In this episode of the Elite Business Advice Podcast, host Chris Moore — founder of Elite Business Advisors and owner of a residential painting company — breaks down the Buyback Principle: the framework Elite Business Advisors has used to help hundreds of painting contractors remove themselves from the daily grind and run their painting company like a CEO instead of its hardest-working employee.You'll hear the real story of a painting contractor who went from 4 employees, $500K in revenue, and 80-90 hour weeks — taking home about the same as his own painters — to scaling toward $1.3M by fixing his job costing, pricing, and delegation.What you'll learn in this episode:How to calculate your Buyback Rate (and your ideal Buyback Rate)Why a simple 2-week time audit reveals exactly what to delegate or hire forHow to reinvest freed-up time into the high-value work only you should be doingWhy "I can't afford to hire for this" is the myth keeping painting contractors stuckThe job costing and pricing fixes that unlocked growth for one painting companyThis episode is for painting contractors and painting company owners across the U.S. and Canada who are ready to build a business that runs without them — not one that runs them into the ground.

What if the biggest productivity problem on your team isn't effort, but attention? In this episode of the GrowLeader Podcast, Pastor Chris Hodges and Matt Minor unpack the Productivity Principle and share a practical framework Church of the Highlands is using to help its team reclaim focus, eliminate distractions, and spend more time on the work that actually moves the mission forward. In a world of constant notifications, unnecessary meetings, emails, and digital distractions, leaders can stay busy all day without accomplishing what matters most. Pastor Chris explains why winning back your team's attention isn't simply a productivity issue, it's a leadership and stewardship issue. If your team is working hard but still feels distracted, overwhelmed, or unclear about what winning looks like, this episode provides a practical tool you can implement immediately. Because when leaders create clarity around what matters most, teams can stop simply being busy and start making meaningful progress toward the mission.   All Things GrowLeader: Learn More and Join the Waitlist for GrowLeader Conference 2027: https://www.growleader.com/conference Join Monthly Mentoring with Pastor Chris: https://www.growleader.com/monthlymentoring Access FREE church resources: https://www.churchofthehighlands.com/resources Develop a Kingdom Builders or Legacy Team: https://www.growleader.com/kbvirtualintensive Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyCNQpi3YxaOeQAIdSpbeVw   Follow along on Socials:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/growleader/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/growleader

The Clinical Depth Principle: Why Therapy Cannot Be Reduced to Tools, Hacks, and Sound Bites Curt and Katie on the clinical depth principle: case conceptualization, pacing, and the limits of coping skills. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT take on this month's modern therapist principle, clinical depth over simplification, and the two extremes the profession keeps swinging between. On one side is a therapy culture shaped by medicalization, medical necessity documentation, productivity pressure, and pop psychology trends that flatten complicated people into one size fits all narratives. On the other is the overcorrection, where clinical ambition outpaces the client and depth work turns into chasing catharsis before the relationship can hold it. Curt and Katie talk about why reaching for a worksheet is usually a reaction to real systemic pressure rather than a lack of care, how tools can quietly become the therapist's own defense mechanism, and why premature depth without pacing or consent can push a client outside their window of tolerance. They also describe what clinical depth looks like in their own sessions, from process versus content and case conceptualization to helping clients track their capacity, not just their story. A useful conversation for therapists, supervisors, and clinicians in community mental health or private practice who want deeper clinical reasoning without flooding their clients. In this episode, we discuss: - Why the pull toward tools, hacks, and protocols is a response to systemic pressure - How medicalization and medical necessity documentation shape what happens in session - Why social media has become the cheapest available substitute for clinical consultation - The difference between content and process in ongoing clinical work - Why premature depth, without pacing or consent, is not clinical depth - How to track a client's capacity rather than only their story - What it takes to build your own capacity for deep clinical work Timestamps: 01:53 - The principle: clinical depth over simplification 04:19 - Medicalization and the trade therapists made for legitimacy 09:47 - Content versus process in ongoing clinical work 11:46 - Tools as the therapist's defense mechanism 14:51 - Social media as the cheapest available consultation 19:03 - Premature depth, consent, and common factors 22:47 - What the research says about symptom control versus depth 24:44 - Everything is process, everything is pattern 27:12 - Tracking capacity, not just story 30:23 - Building the capacity to do deep work Full show notes and transcript: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Lured Up Podcast 407 - You Can't Be Everywhere Live Streamed on - 9/2/2026 The Mega Ascension is here which means it's time for the Mega Finale! In typical Pokémon GO style, there is a massive lead in towards a big gameplay event. This means that you should have some awareness about the levels of your item inventory. Nothing will be worse than going into an event without the necessary supplies or bag space. Planning out and pacing your gameplay will be the way to go since we will have 16 hours of event gameplay this weekend! San Francisco was jumping this weekend with the PokémonXP event and the World Championships! We had tons of updates including new Mega Levels, third attacks for Megas, and details on Mewtwo's Adventure Effects. The announcement that really flipped the community on its head is the return of Armored Mewtwo, which will not be Shiny or Mega eligible! This obviously shocked the Community, and hilarity ensued online. We also have a ton of September event details including Gible Community Day Classic, Phantump Catch Mastery, Mega Squads, Staraptor Super Mega Raid Day and the Pokémon Horizon's Celebration! Re run through it all but make sure to keep the focus on the Ascension and Finale. Charge your devices! Our Professor's Principle this week covers how you can't be everywhere at once. It was easy to get bummed out if you couldn't make it to San Francisco. The flexibility of this game however, makes it possible to make the most of it wherever you are. Shifting mindsets from “What am I missing” to “What can I do” makes your action and motion part of the solution.

In Indonesian society, ‘gotong royong' is typically defined as a collective activity undertaken for the common good. The fundamental question now is whether this holds true—that is, is the value of Gotong Royong still held in high regard across all parts of Indonesia? Or has there been a shift in its meaning? If such a shift has occurred, can Gotong Royong still guarantee social cohesion? - Dalam Masyarakat Indonesia, Gotong Royong biasanya diartikan sebagai suatu kegiatan yang dilakukan bersama untuk kebaikan Bersama. Sekarang pertanyaannya yang mendasar adalah apakah demikian halnya, artinya apakah nilai Gotong Royong ini masih tetap dijunjung tingi di bagian mana pun di negara Indonesia itu? Atau, apakah ada pergeseran pengertian. Jika ada, masihkah Gotong Royong itu dapat menjamin kohesi social?

Principle 54, Matthew – Carnal Influence  Matthew 26:1-16  We must now allow critical and carnal people to impact our thinking in negative ways.Support the show

This sermon explores the radical transformation required of believers through an exegesis of Ephesians 4:17-24. The speaker contrasts the emptiness and spiritual darkness of the unregenerate life with the purpose and light found in Christ. Central to the message is the call to actively put off the corrupt old nature, renew the mind through God's Word, and put on the new man created in righteousness. The preacher emphasizes that true faith necessitates a visible change in behavior and thinking, rejecting cultural influences in favor of biblical truth. Ultimately, the text urges listeners to embrace their new identity in Christ by consistently replacing sinful habits with godly conduct.

Carolyn Elefant has been practicing law for thirty-five years and writing about solo practice for almost as long. In this episode she and Ernie get into how AI is changing litigation — not in theory, but in the cases she's handling right now. Carolyn walks through experiments she's run and posted publicly, including having AI draft the judge's opinion from both briefs before she wrote her reply, and hiding instructions inside a brief to see which AI tools would follow them. One tool refused. One followed them. The third declined the part it considered unethical and went along with the part it considered harmless — which is the interesting one, because it looks a lot like judgment. They also cover which tools she reaches for and when, why she pays for the business version instead of the free one, where a lawyer should start if all of this feels overwhelming, and her upcoming 'Bellwether AI Litigator' conference on September 17 and 18.

Puritan poet Anne Bradstreet once wrote, “Wisdom without an inheritance is better than an inheritance without wisdom.” Every parent hopes the resources they leave behind will bless their children. But a financial inheritance can have very different effects depending on the person receiving it. That is why wise wealth transfer requires more than simply deciding how much to leave—it requires careful thought, prayer, and an understanding of each child's unique circumstances. Ron Blue, co-founder of Kingdom Advisors and longtime teacher on biblical stewardship, calls this the uniqueness principle. Equal Love Doesn't Always Require Equal Treatment Studies show that many parents divide their estates equally among their children. There is certainly nothing wrong with that approach, but Ron encourages parents not to make equality the automatic default. As he explains, God loves each of His children equally, but He often treats them uniquely. The same can be true within a family. Children may grow up in the same home and sit around the same dinner table, yet adulthood can take them in very different directions. They may marry differently, parent differently, pursue different careers, experience job losses, accumulate different levels of wealth, or develop very different approaches to money. Those differences can matter when determining how an inheritance should be passed down. The question is not simply, “How can I divide everything evenly?” A better question may be, “How can I steward these resources in a way that truly benefits each child?” Three Questions to Ask Before Leaving an Inheritance When Ron and his wife, Judy, began thinking seriously about their own estate plan, they used three questions to evaluate what an inheritance might mean for each of their five children. 1. What is the worst thing that could happen? Imagine giving a particular amount of money to a particular child. How could that money negatively affect his or her life? For one child, the concern may be minimal. The money might simply be given away. For another, however, a large inheritance could create tension within a marriage, reinforce unhealthy financial habits, reduce motivation to work, or create other unintended consequences. 2. How serious would that outcome be? Not every negative possibility carries the same weight. Some may be inconvenient but manageable. Others could damage relationships, character, or financial stability. Parents should carefully consider the seriousness of each potential consequence. 3. How likely is it to happen? Finally, consider probability. A possible problem is different from a probable one. Together, these questions provide a framework for thinking beyond percentages and dollar amounts to the actual impact an inheritance could have. Your Estate Plan Should Change as Life Changes Another important part of the uniqueness principle is recognizing that circumstances rarely remain the same. When Ron and Judy first began asking these questions decades ago, their children were at very different stages of life than they are today. Careers changed. Marriages developed. Families grew. Financial circumstances shifted. As a result, Ron says the answers they would give today are very different from the answers they would have given 25 years ago. That is an important reminder: An estate plan should not necessarily be a one-time decision. As circumstances change, parents may need to revisit both their assumptions and their plans. Don't Pass Wealth Without Passing Wisdom Underlying Ron's approach is one of his most important principles: Don't pass wealth unless you pass wisdom. Wealth does not automatically produce wisdom. In fact, money can magnify whatever attitudes and habits already exist. Wisdom, however, can help someone steward wealth faithfully—and even create additional resources through diligence, generosity, patience, and wise decision-making. That means preparing the next generation involves far more than preparing legal documents. Parents can begin transferring wisdom long before they transfer wealth by talking openly about stewardship, generosity, work, contentment, financial decision-making, and God's ownership of everything. The greatest inheritance may not be the money children eventually receive, but the biblical principles they learned while their parents were still living. Faithfulness Matters More Than Fairness The uniqueness principle does not mean every estate should be divided differently. After thoughtful consideration, parents may still conclude that an equal distribution is the wisest choice. The point is not that equal is wrong or unequal is better. The point is to avoid allowing cultural expectations, guilt, fear of conflict, or simple habit to make the decision for you. Instead, approach wealth transfer prayerfully and deliberately. Ask what each child's circumstances are. Consider what opportunities or challenges an inheritance might create. Think carefully about the consequences. Revisit those decisions as life changes. Ultimately, wealth transfer is an act of stewardship. The resources we leave behind still belong to God, and our responsibility is to manage them according to His wisdom rather than merely following human expectations. Before asking, “How can I make everything equal?” consider asking a deeper question: “What would faithfulness look like for each person God has entrusted to my care?” On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: I'm 60, own two rental properties outright, rent an apartment in Chicago for $2,100 a month, and have about $1.4 million in savings and investments. My rental income is seasonal, but I haven't had to draw from my portfolio yet. Is continuing to rent in Chicago financially reasonable, and is $1.4 million likely enough to support me long term? My wife and I are buying a new home and have about 60% of the purchase price in cash. We need the remaining 40% for only 60 to 90 days until our current paid-off home sells. Would a HELOC, bridge loan, or another short-term financing option make the most sense? Our 22-year-old daughter lives at home and has very few expenses or responsibilities. Would it be biblical and wise to start charging her rent, and how should we determine a fair amount?

Sunday Morning, August 30, 2026, Series: Stewardship, Malachi 3:7-12, Pastor Carlos Navarrete

What Bruce has called the “put up or shut up principle” is the idea we should want our theories to take on the burden of explanation as must as we can. We need to "put up" an at least equally content filled theory as a competitor to another content filled theory. He argues that this may be central idea behind critical rationalism. We strengthen our theories by increasing the potential set of falsifiers. This is how knowledge grows.Bruce is pointing out that we all like to change the goal post when we look at our own pet theories. But shouldn't we strive to not have double standards if we care about moving towards truth?

Learn how to replace stress and distraction with rest, rhythm, and intentional living—because life is better with less rush and more presence.In this message, Pastor Rick Long of Grace Church addresses the pervasive problem of the "hurry trap"—a state of constant busyness that he identifies not just as a scheduling issue, but as a deep-seated spiritual problem (7:01). Drawing from the biblical story of Mary and Martha (9:51), he explains that while both sisters had good intentions, Martha became overwhelmed by her attempts to serve, while Mary chose the "one thing" that mattered most: sitting at the feet of Jesus (10:36, 18:27).Pastor Rick offers five practical principles to help believers escape the cycle of hurry and find rest for their souls:Abide before attempting to achieve: Prioritize your relationship with God through worship and prayer before checking your phone or starting your to-do list (17:27, 23:18).Stop obsessing over every detail: Do not let the pursuit of perfection or urgent tasks distract you from being present and connected with people (25:55, 30:51).Focus on the one thing that matters most: Continually evaluate your priorities, eliminate distractions, and elevate God and your relationships to the top of your list (32:29, 37:05).Be fully present: Practice single-tasking, give others your full attention, and remember that life is short—be wise with your time (41:51, 46:07).Create margin for connection: Build quiet moments into your day, observe a weekly Sabbath, and leave space for God to interrupt your plans (47:39, 52:10).The message concludes with an invitation to find rest in Jesus, emphasizing his promise in Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest" (54:43).0:00 Welcome and Announcements2:03 Escaping the Hurry Trap7:06 Hurry is a Spiritual Problem9:51 The Story of Mary and Martha12:13 Five Ways Hurry Becomes a Problem17:26 Principle 1: Abide Before Attempting to Achieve25:56 Principle 2: Stop Obsessing Over Every Detail32:29 Principle 3: Focus on the One Thing That Matters Most41:51 Principle 4: Be Fully Present47:38 Principle 5: Create Margin for Connection54:43 Matthew 11;28-30 and Conclusion

The Bible not only describes foolish behavior for us, but it also gives clear guidance on how we should respond to foolish people. Here's another principle for dealing with foolish people: Principle #3 – Don't argue with foolish people. 2 Timothy 2:23-24: Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. You will be tempted to argue with a foolish person. All your emotions will lead you in that direction. They bring out the worst in us, so you need to pray for patience and self-control. If you allow them to drag you into an argument, they have brought you down to their level, and you will never win that argument. You will just end up in great frustration. Someone has said: “Never tell a fool that he is a fool. All you’ll have is an angry fool.”  Principle #4 – Protect yourself from the resentment and anger caused by foolish people. Proverbs 27:3 (NLT): A stone is heavy and sand is weighty, but the resentment caused by a fool is heavier than both. In her book, Foolproofing Your Life, my friend, Jan Silvious gives good advice about setting boundaries for the foolish people in your life. She says to think of living in a castle, with a moat around it and a drawbridge over that moat. When you see that foolish person coming at you, think of pulling up that drawbridge. It may be a mental or emotional drawbridge, or actually putting some space between you and that person, but learn to set those boundaries.[1] Yes, you have responsibilities toward some foolish people. Yes, you must interact with some foolish people. Yes, you can't avoid all foolish people. But it is your responsibility to protect yourself from their words, their actions, their accusations, and their behavior. As Jan puts it, if you have to feed them, use a long-handle spoon. Well, there is a lot we can learn from Scripture on how to deal with foolish people. [1] Jan Silvious, Foolproofing Your Life: Wisdom for Untangling Your Most Difficult Relationships (Colorado Springs: WaterBrook Press, 1998).

While we had the wrap up of the Water Festival, the kickoff of the Worlds event and Mega Starmie over the weekend, we still know that the road to the finale is upon us. We will be swimming in events and activity over the next few weeks, so it's time to prepare both on and off screen. The news cycle never cares about how exhausted we are with the announcement of the next season in Pokémon GO, Twilight Trails! While we have the key art and a few bits of information, it will likely be a few weeks before we can really start to get the vibe of things. It brings up the discussion of the importance of seasons, and if they are necessary to the game anymore. We don't really see any narrative, and the events just flow into each other. We would love to hear what you think about seasons and what you want out of them. Wayfarer is having a major update that moves it further to being an independent tool outside of Pokémon GO. Beginning on September 1st, you will be taken to the Wayfarer Website to manage nominations and all of Wayfarer, rather than remaining inside of Pokémon GO. The reaction is mixed, with more casual Wayfinders being reluctant to want to move, and the experienced map-makers loving the decision.  We wrap up with a Professor's Principle about “Protecting your peace”. There are plenty of things within the game and community that can have an impact on your mental state. We see tons of anger and negativity online every day. That has a negative impact on your peace, as it drains some energy out of you that could have been used for something positive. We discuss how finding things that being you joy while letting go of things that drain you is a fantastic approach to shifting your energy. Rather than needing to find more energy (we are already exhausted), we talk about releasing energy that we are spending in a negative way, and reallocating it to something that supports your joy and peace.
