Do you ever feel like your life lacks significance? Like you're just a small note in a grand symphony that no one would notice if it went missing? Today's episode challenges that notion with a powerful story about a piccolo player in Michael Costa's London Philharmonic Orchestra who thought his contribution didn't matter—until the moment he stopped playing and the renowned conductor immediately halted everything, asking "Where's the piccolo?"This compelling story perfectly illustrates the biblical truth found in 1 Corinthians 12, where Paul explains how every part of the body has essential significance, regardless of its size or visibility. Just as a body needs each unique part to function properly, God's plan requires each one of us playing our distinct roles. Your life matters enormously, even when you can't see its impact. God has strategically positioned you to influence others in ways only you can. Whether you're feeling overlooked or questioning your purpose, remember: the Conductor notices when your unique note is missing from the symphony. Join me every weekday morning to start your day with encouragement and perspective that helps you recognize your true significance in God's orchestra.We would love to hear your comments.

In this episode, I'm keeping it real with you — because the truth is, life doesn't just hand us the things we want. Success, impact, freedom… none of it shows up by wishing for it. You've gotta roll up your sleeves, do the work, and earn it. I share some behind-the-scenes stories from building our new business, the lessons I've been learning from some powerhouse entrepreneurs, and why the grind, the persistence, and the uncomfortable growth moments are actually the biggest rewards of all. So if you've ever caught yourself waiting for things to “just happen” — this is your reminder that the reward isn't only in the result, it's in who you become along the way.

In this episode, I dive into the DDD principle—Do, Document, Delegate—and share why it's such a game-changer for business owners, especially in the home service industry. I break down how I've applied this principle in my own businesses, with real examples of where it's worked and how it can take stress off your plate. I also use a chocolate factory analogy to show how scaling and coaching fit into the picture when you're building efficient systems. This one's all about learning how to run your business instead of letting it run you.Free 1-1 Business Coaching Session Signup: https://calendly.com/dripjobs/breakthroughSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2v0D0SNSBofqJJE6zApEE1DripJobs Demo: https://calendly.com/dripjobsteam/dripjobsdemoGusto: https://gusto.com/i/tanner269OpenPhone: https://openph.one/referral/8Kc17aqFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/173750747824373/?ref=shareFollow me on Instagram: http://Instagram.com/officialtannermullen

At the tail end of the summer, a rumor that "Trump is critically ill or dead" suddenly spread on social media, exposing the delicate relationship between the "old emperor" and the "new prince." Meanwhile, a battle for control of Congress has already begun on the electoral map. From the Texas Republican Party's move to the California Democratic Party's ountermeasures, the two parties have engaged in an extreme offense and defense over redistricting. How will this "fighting fire with fire" showdown end? Is California Governor Newsom's tactic of imitating Trump a brilliant move or a risky gamble? This episode was recorded on September 1st.

Does slowing down feel impossible when your calendar is overflowing with school drop-offs, sports practices, work deadlines, and family commitments? You're not alone. For many working Christian moms, the beginning of the school year brings a new level of chaos — and slowing down feels like the last thing you can afford to do. But here's the truth: slowing down isn't about doing less or dropping the ball. It's about learning to walk in God's rhythm instead of the world's hustle. In this episode of the Faith Led Working Moms Podcast, we're unpacking the biblical principle that makes slowing down not only possible but practical — even in the busiest seasons of motherhood. You'll hear: The common lie moms believe about slowing down and what Scripture really says. Why God's pace is different from the world's hustle — and how His presence brings true rest. 2 simple, practical ways to start slowing down in the middle of carpools, practices, and school-year chaos. Slowing down doesn't mean falling behind — it means showing up with more peace, presence, and strength because you're walking in step with Jesus. ✨ Free Resources for You: Want more encouragement and practical tools? Join our community of moms inside the Faith Led Working Moms Facebook group where you'll find free resources, biblical encouragement, and support from other Christian moms walking this same journey.
In this conversation, Joel Evan interviews Jim Murphy, a performance coach and author of 'Inner Excellence.' They discuss the concept of playing the right game in life, emphasizing the importance of inner development over external achievements. Jim shares his personal journey from being a professional athlete to becoming a coach, highlighting the significance of heart-centered performance and overcoming fear. He introduces the idea of mindset as a subconscious thermostat and the necessity of embracing discomfort for growth. The conversation concludes with Jim's insights on facing life's challenges and his upcoming projects.Chapters00:00 The Wrong Game in Life03:47 Journey to Inner Excellence06:48 From Athlete to Coach10:17 Heart First, Performance Second16:00 Breaking Free from Fear and Self-Centeredness18:09 Mindset as a Subconscious Thermostat20:37 Embracing Setbacks as Training23:01 Ryan Dodd's Transformation27:20 The Principle of No Needs31:40 Facing Life's Hardest Challenges33:31 Upcoming Projects and Hope for the Future
Nirodha Saṁskāra: How the Mind Transforms in Deep Yoga One of the most fascinating ideas in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is the subtle inner transformation that happens as the mind becomes still. What Is Nirodha? Patanjali defines yoga as: “Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ” (Yoga Sutra 1.2) Yoga is the cessation (nirodha) of the fluctuations of the mind. But how do we actually reach that state? It doesn't happen all at once — it's a gradual transformation where the restless patterns of thought are replaced by inner stillness. The Two Competing Tendencies In Sutra 3.9, Patanjali describes two forces in the mind: Vyutthāna Saṁskāra: the tendency toward distraction and mental chatter Nirodha Saṁskāra: the tendency toward silence and restraint As we meditate and practice, the nirodha-saṁskāras grow stronger, and the vyutthāna-saṁskāras fade away. This shift is called nirodha-pariṇāma, or the transformation toward inner stillness. The Inner Shift The mind doesn't go silent all at once. It moves through many moments of stillness, where restraint begins to dominate. Over time, these moments string together into a deep, sustained state of peace. Understanding nirodha-saṁskāra helps us see that meditation isn't about forcing the mind, but about training it gently, allowing new patterns of stillness to take root. Every time we sit in awareness, we're imprinting peace into the mind itself. Yoga is about replacing mental noise with inner clarity. Patanjali's wisdom reminds us that transformation comes not from struggle, but from consistent practice and subtle inner change. -

As a listener of TOE you can get a special 20% off discount to The Economist and all it has to offer! Visit https://www.economist.com/toe MIT physicist Max Tegmark argues AI now belongs inside physics—and that consciousness will be next. He separates intelligence (goal-achieving behavior) from consciousness (subjective experience), sketches falsifiable experiments using brain-reading tech and rigorous theories (e.g., IIT/φ), and shows how ideas like Hopfield energy landscapes make memory “feel” like physics. We get into mechanistic interpretability (sparse autoencoders), number representations that snap into clean geometry, why RLHF mostly aligns behavior (not goals), and the stakes as AI progress accelerates from “underhyped” to civilization-shaping. It's a masterclass on where mind, math, and machines collide.

Some things change with the times—but God's financial principles never do. They're not only timeless; they work in every situation, for every person, at every income level.Whether you're barely making ends meet or managing significant wealth, the Bible's wisdom for handling money is always right on target. Today, Ron Blue will unpack five proven principles for managing your money well.Ron Blue is a nationally recognized financial expert, co-founder of Kingdom Advisors, and author of more than 20 books on biblical money management. With decades of experience advising families and leaders, he has dedicated his life to equipping Christians to manage their resources wisely and steward them for God's kingdom purposes.A Lesson From the Senate FloorBack in the early 1990s, Ron Blue was invited to testify before a U.S. Senate subcommittee on family and money matters. When asked what advice he would give American families, his response was simple yet profound:Spend less than you earn.Avoid debt.Build liquidity or margin.Set long-term goals.Give generously.To Ron's surprise, the senator responded, “That would work for every family—at any income level.” Ron smiled and added, “Yes, Senator, including the United States government.”These five principles, he says, are universal. They apply not just to families, but also to businesses, communities, and even nations.Principle 1: Spend Less Than You EarnThis is the foundation of wise financial decision-making.It's the “slow road to wealth,” but it's also the surest way to financial freedom. This principle enables families to establish stability without pursuing risky shortcuts or falling into the trap of trying to become wealthy quickly.Principle 2: Avoid DebtDebt can be both a practical and spiritual burden. From a financial standpoint, debt always mortgages the future. Any borrowed money becomes a priority expense—one that takes precedence over all others until it's repaid.Not all debt is created equal—some can be strategic, like a mortgage—but even “good” debt ties up future income and limits financial flexibility.Principle 3: Build Liquidity (Margin)Margin is what allows families to weather life's inevitable surprises—a medical bill, car repair, or job loss—without spiraling into crisis.People with cash flow margin are always more secure. They know they can meet the unexpected, and that creates peace of mind and security. An emergency fund isn't just about financial stability; it's about emotional and spiritual calm when life throws curveballs.Principle 4: Set Long-Term GoalsShort-term thinking often leads to financial stress and impulsive decisions. By setting long-term goals, families can prioritize spending and align their financial choices with their values.The longer term your perspective, the better your decision today. Goals give direction and help families measure progress—not just in wealth, but in stewardship and Kingdom impact.Principle 5: Give GenerouslyFinally, generosity breaks the power of money. Jesus taught that we cannot serve both God and money (Matthew 6:24). By giving, we release our grip on wealth and keep our hearts anchored in Christ rather than in material security.Generosity is the only way to break money's hold on you.Timeless Wisdom for Every HouseholdWhether you're just starting your financial journey or seeking a reset, these five principles offer a roadmap to freedom and peace. They are not about complicated strategies or quick fixes—they're about faithful, steady stewardship rooted in biblical wisdom. If you do these five things, you'll position yourself for God's best in your finances.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I recently started a new job, but I still have a 401(k) from my previous employer. Since I'm over 55, I was told I can withdraw from it without a penalty. My husband thinks we should withdraw $15,000 to cover some home repairs, but I'm nervous about dipping into my retirement savings.I'm 51 and planning to retire at the end of next year. I have a state pension, along with several 401(k) and 403(b) accounts I've accumulated over the years. What's the best way to handle these accounts once I retire?My husband and I have been married for 12 years, and we have a prenup that keeps our finances separate. I have around $700,000 in savings and a terminal illness. How should I decide how much to leave for my husband and how much to give to the Lord?I've had a reverse mortgage since 2010, and my house has increased significantly in value. I'd like to know how much equity I can access now and whether I need to refinance, or if it's possible to expand my line of credit simply.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)FamilyLife | FamilyLife BlendedWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

There's a type of fabric that looks like leather, feels like leather, but isn't leather (or made from any animal materials). For decades, it was called "Pleather" – a combination of the words "plastic" and "leather" – and it was considered cheap, tacky, and artificial.But today, that same material is a $41 billion market.What changed? The name. Now we call Pleather "Vegan Leather."And that simple reframing transformed not just how people perceive the material, but how they feel when they're wearing it.Join host Jen Clinehens (MS/MBA) to explore the fascinating story of how Pleather became Vegan Leather… How the meaning we attach to a product or experience defines its value…And how you can use this strategy to transform perceptions of your own products and brand.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Please take 12 seconds to rate and review the podcast because it helps us find new listeners ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐COACHING✅ To learn more about working one-on-one with Jen and book your free Connection Call, visit https://www.choicehacking.com/coaching-inviteThis month I have 3 spots available - first come, first serve.

The sermon explores the profound impact of music on the human spirit, asserting that it serves as a powerful reflection of one's spiritual relationship with God. Drawing on Scripture, particularly Ephesians 5, the message emphasizes that music, whether psalms, hymns, or spiritual songs, is an outcome of being filled with the Spirit, revealing who controls one's life. Personal anecdotes illustrate that genuine spiritual transformation, not merely intellectual understanding, leads to a change in musical preferences, and that choosing music that glorifies God and refreshes the spirit is essential for a life aligned with divine purpose.
The sermon explores the biblical significance of music, emphasizing its creation by God as a form of worship and its enduring presence throughout scripture, from the creation narrative to the consummation of time. It examines how music profoundly affects individuals, both positively through spiritual preparation and negatively through the subconscious conveyance of messages, particularly concerning the potential for secular music to promote rebellion, sensuality, and ultimately, a distortion of worship. Ultimately, the message encourages discernment in musical choices, highlighting the temporary nature of worldly music and the eternal promise of praise to God.

In this heartfelt episode of Fatherhood Field Notes, host Ned Schaut sits down with Daniel Lehmann — pastor, father of four, and leader at Living Stones Church — to unpack what it really means to raise kids with stability, authenticity, and truth. From defining the role of the father as one who “trains kids in the way of the Lord” to navigating teenage years with firmness and love, Daniel shares candid stories from 25 years of marriage and parenting. Together, Ned and Daniel discuss when to extend mercy, when to stand firm, and why your home should never be a place of performance. Daniel also opens up about a traumatic brain injury and how embracing weakness has reshaped his view of fatherhood, faith, and family. This episode will leave you encouraged, challenged, and equipped with real tools for leading your home with love, integrity, and courage.Chapters:00:00:00 - Welcome to the Fatherhood Field Notes Podcast00:01:34 - Meet Daniel Lehmann00:02:40 - Daniel's Family Snapshot00:03:33 - Parenting Grown Children00:05:46 - Defining the Father's Role00:06:50 - How to Pass on Faith00:10:01 - Authenticity Over Performance00:11:45 - Three Pillars of Training Kids in the Lord00:18:20 - The Cell Phone Struggle00:20:30 - Learning from His Own Father00:22:25 - Connecting with Each Child Uniquely00:24:48 - Pivoting from Career to Family00:28:10 - Grace, Mercy, and Fatherhood00:29:45 - A Story of Misplaced Mercy00:34:00 - The Principle of Mercy vs. Enabling00:38:35 - A Life-Changing Health Scare00:40:55 - Embracing the Power of Weakness00:43:50 - Motivation Through Adversity00:46:40 - The Secret to 25 Years of Marriage00:48:40 - A Blessing for FathersGuest Link:Daniel Lehmann on InstagramLinks and Resources:Transform Your Body with Ned & RUK Fitness: RUK FitnessThis episode is sponsored by The Adventure of FatherhoodOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?https://www.adventureoffatherhood.com/https://www.rebelandcreate.com/Each week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

Will disciplining children for tantrums and outbursts damage their willingness to share feelings and communicate openly? Discover four biblical principles that show how proper discipline actually strengthens rather than harms parent-child relationships.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Heart of a Torn Parent1:09 - The Core Question About Discipline and Relationship1:33 - Principle 1: Spankings Are Not the Only Thing We Do2:57 - Principle 2: Spankings Are for Sin, Not Feelings3:31 - Clarifying What We Punish vs. What We Discuss4:21 - Teaching Children to Identify Their Sin5:15 - Principle 3: Discipline Is Parental Obedience to God5:39 - Proverbs 13:24 - Love Disciplines Diligently6:31 - Building Character Through Parental Integrity6:57 - Principle 4: Spanking Is Not the Last Step7:45 - The Lambert House Rule: Don't Leave Angry8:22 - Ending Discipline with Prayer, Grace, and Restoration8:44 - When Discipline Goes Wrong vs. RightMAIN POINTS- Spankings Are Not the Only Thing We DoPhysical correction should be a very small percentage of overall parenting time. Parents who discipline have earned that right through much larger investments of positive relationship building. - Discipline is placed within a broader context of love and care throughout daily life.- Spankings Are for Sin, Not Feelings or PreferencesChildren should never be punished for having feelings, needing to talk, or making mistakes. - Discipline is specifically for sin - violations of God's law. Parents must clearly communicate the difference between emotions that need discussion and sinful behaviors that require correction.- Discipline Is Parental Obedience That Models IntegrityFollowing Proverbs 13:24, parents demonstrate love through diligent discipline. This shows children that parents have integrity and follow God's commands, building rather than undermining confidence in the parent-child relationship over a lifetime.- Discipline Should End with Restoration, Not AngerThe Lambert house rule was to never leave discipline sessions angry. After confession, forgiveness, and correction, the process should end with prayer, grace, and often laughter and affection. The goal is restoring the relationship broken by sin through faithfulness to God's Word.SCRIPTURE REFERENCESPrimary Passages:Proverbs 13:24 - Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline himSupporting Context:Proverbs 22:15 - Folly is bound up in the heart of a childProverbs 23:13-14 - Do not withhold discipline from a childHebrews 12:5-11 - God disciplines those he lovesEphesians 6:1-4 - Children obey parents; fathers don't provoke to angerDeuteronomy 6:6-7 - Teaching children diligentlyColossians 3:21 - Fathers, do not embitter your childrenHave a question you'd like answered?

In this episode, I continue with Doctrine & Covenants 88 and move into sections 89–92, “A Principle with a Promise.” I share the wrestle I had over releasing this episode that talks about the vaccine, why I ultimately felt impressed to publish it, and how it ties into following the prophet and learning by faith. We'll look at what it means to submit our will to God, seek answers in the scriptures, and embrace the Word of Wisdom as both temporal counsel and spiritual promise. “… the submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar. The many other things we “give,” brothers and sisters, are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in God's will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!” “Swallowed Up in the Will of the Father” Swallowed up in the Will of the Father Alan Jackson - Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus "Seek Learning By Faith," Elder David A.
