"Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matt. 16:25). This week we're joined by Fr. Carter Griffin, rector of the St. John Paul II Seminary in the Archdiocese of Washington, and Alvaro de Vicente, headmaster of The Heights School, to examine "discernment." It's become a Catholic buzzword, applied (or sometimes, perhaps, misapplied) to a number of life situations. Here, Fr. Carter and Alvaro discuss the methods and limits of vocational discernment—and the moral courage of commitment.

In a time when organizations are navigating generational change, evolving leadership expectations, and shifting workforce dynamics, cooperative boards have a unique opportunity to lead differently, anchored in values, purpose, and shared ownership. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton, Vice President of Organizational Development for FCCS Jay Lux, and Angie Coleman, Organizational Development Consultant with FCCS. Their conversation centers around director strategies for connecting with the spirit of cooperative identity so that every choice made in the boardroom strengthens both the organization and the people it serves. Episode Insights Include: What makes cooperative governance distinct? The cooperative structure is made up of the members, for the members. Decisions made by the board directly impact those whom it serves. Boards include member-owners of the organization. Cooperative governance starts with member benefits, not shareholder return. Decisions are made with and for the people that the board serves. Cooperatives exist to create value with their people. The future of cooperative boards As businesses grow in complexity, cooperative boards offer insights into how to best serve their members. Shifting workforce and generational shifts are aligned with what cooperatives value. Board focus is shifting toward what really matters to employees today. The collaborative nature of how organizations are structured and governed is revealing. Key differentiators between corporate and collaborative structures benefit the patrons of the cooperative, rather than the owners. Cooperatives exist to create value with their people. These principles matter in today's current landscape more than ever before. Three leadership challenges that cooperatives address Employees are distrustful of organizations that value profit over people. The triple bottom line affects consumer and employee decision making. Workforce expectations have shifted toward what the cooperative structure offers. The cooperative model is uniquely positioned toward employee expectations. Performance and purpose are effectively addressed by the cooperative model. Board decision-making principles in the cooperative model All seven cooperative model principles may show up in the boardroom at any given time Cooperative boards are focused on long-term viability of the business, and ultimately, the member-owner. Annual returns are positively impacted by the cooperative model. These principles are the foundation for the structure and purpose of the institution. Employee engagement and good governance Employees today expect transparency, participation, and purpose. Employees want to know the why behind decision making. High-performing teams have clear expectations, visibility, and effective feedback loops. When people understand the why, the don't just buy-in, they believe-in. Board decisions need to reflect employee needs. Respectful dissent in the boardroom is addressing conflict done well. Healthy conflict requires getting curious and asking clarifying questions. Shifting governance expectations in the face of leadership transitions and increased complexity Demographic changes for management transitions with the new generation. Growing organization size creates new complexities. Technology advancements are regular conversations in today's boardroom Businesses are run of people, by people. Regulatory landscape requirements have made business operations increasingly challenging. Individual expertise must be balanced with collective decision making at the board level. Effective board and management collaboration and education Preliminary preparation is essential for effective conversations. Engage in robust debate about ideas, not individuals. The executive session is a powerful tool for meaningful board discussions. When in doubt, bring in a subject matter expert. Directors have a responsibility to build regular learning into the boardroom. Annual board performance reviews are essential. Succession planning should be embedded throughout the boardroom culture.

Do you really need to warm up before a strength training workout? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher kick off a brand-new series titled Principles of Exercise Design. In this series, they'll break down the key components that make every workout safer, more effective, and better aligned with your goals. In today's episode, they explore one of the most debated topics in fitness: the warm-up. You'll learn what science says about warming up, when it's truly necessary, and why strength training might already include everything your body needs to prepare. Tune in to hear how understanding the purpose behind warm-ups can help you train smarter, reduce wasted time, and focus on what actually drives results. Dr. Fisher starts by asking whether a warm-up is really necessary before strength training. He explains that extensive research shows no real need for a separate warm-up before lifting. The very nature of strength training includes a built-in progression that prepares the muscles safely and effectively. Dr. Fisher explains that most people don't begin their first repetition at maximum effort. Instead, the gradual increase in resistance and intensity throughout the set gently primes the muscles for heavier loads. Dr. Fisher highlights how progressive recruitment within a set serves as a warm-up. As you perform each repetition, your body gradually activates more muscle fibers. This process raises muscle temperature, enhances coordination, and makes an additional warm-up unnecessary. Amy and Dr. Fisher explain why some exercises, like sprints, need a warm-up. Sprinting is an all-out movement that demands maximum force right from the start. To avoid injury, the body must be prepared through light activation that prepares the muscles and joints. Dr. Fisher highlights that strength training is controlled, not explosive. Exercises like leg presses or chest presses never begin with maximal effort or range of motion. The gradual increase in load throughout the session replaces the need for stretching or separate warm-ups. Amy explores the logic behind warming up. She points out that it's sensible before activities demanding sudden force or unpredictable motion. But in strength training, your first repetitions are never your hardest, so the warm-up happens organically within the session. Dr. Fisher explains why good personal trainers skip long warm-ups. The goal isn't to fill time; it's to let your muscles warm naturally as resistance and effort increase. Amy and Dr. Fisher break down the two types of warm-up: general and specific. A general warm-up involves light activity, like cycling for a few minutes, to increase circulation and muscle temperature. It feels good, but it isn't essential before resistance training. Dr. Fisher describes a specific warm-up as targeted preparation for a heavy lift. This means gradually increasing load with lighter sets before attempting a maximal effort. It's useful when working toward top performance in compound lifts like deadlifts. Learn how personal training keeps you from overdoing your workouts. Dr. Fisher explains that a good session should be structured so your body adjusts safely, reducing fatigue and building strength without unnecessary strain. Dr. Fisher discusses whether wearing warm clothes affects muscle readiness. He clarifies that feeling warm doesn't mean the muscles are functionally prepared. True readiness comes from gradually increasing effort, not from external temperature. Amy concludes by summarizing the key insight from today's episode. In strength training, the warm-up is already built into the structure of the exercise itself. The progressive loading and fiber recruitment at the start of each set make a separate warm-up unnecessary. Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

In today's episode, we sit down with former U.S. Senator Joe Manchin for a powerful conversation about his book Dead Center — a book he describes as both a memoir and a manifesto for bringing common sense back to American politics. Manchin shares his concerns about where the Democratic Party is headed. We also talk about why he believes the “center” is where solutions are born, what it means to put people before party, and how respect, responsibility, and compassion can break through the bitterness and tribalism dividing our nation. This episode suggests that there is hope that still exists for a healthier, more unified political future. You may not agree with all of his politics – but there is much to be said about puttingaside “sound bites” and having real conversations.

Surveys show there are more people in therapy than ever. On one hand I feel there is more benefit in talking with someone than not. And on the other hand I'm concerned whether all the therapy is paying off. Statistically, mental health continues on a decline. So when I heard about SFBT therapy, I intrigued myself. SFBT is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, defined as a goal-oriented, short-term approach that focuses on identifying a client's strengths and resources to find solutions to their problems, rather than dwelling on the problems themselves. My guest today is one of the foremost experts on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Elliott Connie is a respected author, top psychotherapist, and thought leader in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), takes a fresh approach. He has a book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Future: Overcome Challenges and Create a New Vision for Your Life Using the Principles of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. In his book, Elliott challenges readers to rethink their questions and the thinking behind them, and I resonate with the concepts very much. The idea is using powerful, forward-focused questions that are designed to help you shift your mindset and create meaningful change. The highlights for me were the realization of how much more powerful it is when we think for ourselves and ask questions, rather than be told something. When we are told something by someone else, we can often push back against it. When we consider and come up with an answer to a question ourselves, we listen. We also got deep into the power of knowing and living in accordance with our core values. But not the “big picture core values,” as Elliott points out. We tend to think of beliefs and morality, but where he finds it most powerful is in the day to day values that actually support who we are and want to be. Elliott's book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Future, is available now, and you can connect with him and SFBT at elliottconnie.com Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.

When we gather, it's not just about what we say—it's about building others up in love and clarity. In this message from 1 Corinthians 14, we're reminded that worship should strengthen, not confuse—and that God's design for the Church is peace, not chaos.
In this episode, I share lessons from a powerful C‑Suite for Christ event that reminded me how vital it is for leaders to stay spiritually fueled. Inspired by Paul Neuberger's message, we'll explore three principles of stewardship — Appreciate, Activate, and Authenticate — and how they can transform both your leadership and your faith. From cultivating gratitude, to boldly using your God‑given gifts, to living with authentic integrity, these truths challenge us to lead with purpose and courage. I'll also reflect on Moses' journey and what it teaches us about trusting God fully. Tune in to be encouraged, equipped, and reminded that when we put faith first, God moves in amazing ways through our leadership and our lives.

The Book Review - The Cardinal Principles of Islam by Radio Islam
Romans 8:28-30 — Interpretive principles are not only necessary for proper handling of sacred Scripture, but all who engage the biblical text operate with principles of interpretation. The question is whether they are good interpretive principles or bad ones. In this sermon on Romans 8:28–30 titled “Applying the Principles,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones has provided Christians with principles of interpretation that have proven the test of time within the church. In a previous sermon, he faithfully outlined principles such as looking at Scripture alone, interpreting Scripture with Scripture, and interpreting the more difficult text in light of the unambiguous passages on doctrine. While he has applied these principles throughout his preaching ministry, he pointedly draws upon them in this sermon in order to model an appropriate handling of Scripture for Christians. Moreover, Dr. Lloyd-Jones applies these interpretive principles in the context of one of the most contested doctrines in the Christian church: the perseverance of the saints. There are those who teach that a true believer – one born again by the Holy Spirit – can genuinely commit apostasy, meaning that they fall away from their faith. This position has established itself though considerable “proof texts” which Dr. Lloyd-Jones faithfully engages as he continues his number of sermons on Romans 8:28–30. Listen as he models and demonstrates charitable engagement with those with whom he disagrees and how he applies interpretive principles in his reading of Scripture.

Corregan Brown joins us to explore the art of disagreement in an age of outrage. He breaks down the difference between arguing policy and clarifying principles, showing how many of our public fights aren't about facts but about unspoken values. Brown also explains why recognizing power differentials matters in civic discourse and how “unbundling” political coalitions allows for more authentic and constructive engagement across divides.We dig into the practical side of argument—what it means to enter a tense conversation without triggering defensiveness, how to recover when debates go sideways, and why empathy doesn't mean compromise. Brown brings insight from both his engineering and faith-based backgrounds, offering a model for conversation rooted in curiosity, integrity, and shared purpose. His message is clear: productive disagreement isn't about winning—it's about understanding enough to build something better together.Guest Bio:Corrigan Brown leads in-store technology teams at Chick-fil-A—covering point-of-sale, kitchen operations, and digital fulfillment—and serves as an educator with Be the Bridge, facilitating historically grounded conversations around race, faith, and civic life. He blends a background in engineering, leadership, and reconciliation work to help communities navigate complex social and political divides with empathy and clarity. Brown appeared on Faithful Politics in a personal capacity and not as a representative or employee of Chick-fil-A.Support the show
In the last ten years, 'diagnostic stewardship' has emerged as a core principle of good clinical practice whose implementation impacts both the individual patient and public health at large. In this episode of Communicable, hosts Angela Huttner and Annie Joseph invite two experts in the field, Daniel Morgan (Maryland, USA) and Valerie Vaughn (Utah, USA), to discuss diagnostic stewardship in the context of infectious diseases, hospital medicine, and healthcare in general. Other topics covered include practical interventions for better testing practices and the role of artificial intelligence in the future of diagnostics. The episode highlights how thoughtful, intentional diagnostic practices can enhance clinician workflows and improve patient outcomes.This episode is a follow-up from Morgan's recently published commentary in CMI Communications on diagnostic testing, and the need for evaluating its clinical impact [1].

We build the systems that make it possible, book a call with us: https://app.iclosed.io/e/woo/quick-fi... In this episode, I walk you through the three principles of slow productivity. The exact framework that took me from drowning in my own business to running a powerhouse team that scales without me. Here's what I've learned after working with thousands of business owners: The founders scaling fastest aren't doing more. They're doing strategically less. You'll discover why doing fewer, higher-impact tasks, working at a natural pace, and obsessing over quality instead of busyness creates sustainable growth. By the end, you'll understand why slowing down isn't falling behind; it's actually the only way to get ahead. If you're a 7 or 8-figure founder working 60+ hour weeks despite your "success," this framework changes everything. Your pace is unsustainable. This is how you reclaim time, restore calm, and scale without sacrificing your life. Already doing $150K in revenue?

Raising children to navigate money wisely is about far more than dollars and cents. It begins with shaping their hearts, grounding their identity in Christ, and helping them understand the true source of their worth. As parents and mentors, we all want the next generation to develop a biblical foundation for both money and identity—because the two are more connected than we often realize.Today, Brian Holtz, CEO of Compass Financial Ministry, joins us to share insights from a new resource designed to help families do exactly that. Right From the Start targets a key age group—kids 11 to 15—who are forming lifelong beliefs about God, themselves, and the world.Why Middle School Matters So MuchAccording to Brian, this project was born out of recognizing a real discipleship gap. Plenty of resources exist for young children and high schoolers, but middle schoolers often fall between the cracks. Yet this is the stage when they're actively forming their worldview—including their beliefs about money, success, and identity.Right From the Start helps students discover that their value is rooted in being made in the image of God—not in what they own, how popular they are, or how well they perform. This biblical truth becomes the foundation for every financial principle they learn.Six Themes to Form Faith and FinancesThe study covers six core chapters:IdentityGivingSavingSpendingBuilding on Your FoundationFinishing WellEach topic is presented through a biblical lens and paired with hands-on activities, daily lessons, memory verses, and “life hacks”—simple, practical challenges that help students put truth into action.The goal, Brian shared, is to make faith and finances personal, relevant, and fun.Helping Students Understand Their Identity in ChristThe very first chapter lays the theological foundation. Students read passages like Genesis 1 and Psalm 139 to understand that they are created intentionally, lovingly, and wonderfully by God. Their worth does not rise or fall with their circumstances.Once children grasp this truth, giving, saving, and spending stop being merely financial tasks. They become acts of worship—ways to honor the God who made them.Turning Principles Into Habits: A Look at the “Life Hacks”One of the most beloved activities is the simple “three jars” method. Students divide the money they earn or receive into:GivingSavingSpendingThis visual, tactile tool transforms abstract concepts into daily habits. Parents particularly love it because it creates space for conversations about generosity, gratitude, and wise choices.How Families and Churches Can Use This ResourceRight From the Start is designed for flexibility. It works well:At homeIn youth groupsIn Christian schoolsA student book and a leader's guide make it accessible for parents, teachers, and ministry leaders alike. And while it fits naturally around the holiday season—when spending pressure ramps up—it can be used any time of year.Why Modeling Matters MostHoward Dayton often said parents should seek to be “MVP parents”—Modeling, Verbalizing, and Practical Application. Brian agreed that “more is caught than taught.” Kids need to see generosity lived out, hear why we handle money the way we do, and have opportunities to practice it themselves.Brian shared one practice from his own home: allowing kids to make real financial decisions with real consequences. If they choose to buy a treat today, they may not have money for something they want tomorrow. That gentle exposure to cause and effect builds wisdom, gratitude, and maturity.The Greatest Financial Lesson You Can TeachHelping your children understand who they are in Christ may be the most valuable financial lesson they will ever learn. A secure identity shapes how they give, save, spend, and steward their resources for the rest of their lives.To learn more about Right From the Start and how to bring it into your home or ministry, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 64, planning to wait until 67 to take Social Security, and our only debt is the house. We're torn about whether to pay off the mortgage. Our income is tight enough that we couldn't easily replace a vehicle if one broke down.

They said they don't have to. My wife and I already paid taxes on that income last year. Do I still need to report the money I earned from that client?I recently left full-time nursing and now work part-time to keep my license.

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek. Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn't I change? What stands the test of time and hasn't lost any potency? This episode features three of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek. The audiobook, produced and copyrighted by Blackstone Publishing, is available wherever audiobooks are sold. You can find it on Audible, Apple, Google, Spotify, Downpour.com, or wherever you get your favorite audiobooks.This episode is brought to you by:Gusto simple and easy payroll, HR, and benefits platform used by 400,000+ businesses: https://gusto.com/timMomentous high-quality creatine for cognitive and muscular support: https://livemomentous.com/Tim Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim Coyote the card game, which I co-created with Exploding Kittens: https://coyotegame.comTIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:31] Mini-retirements: embracing the mobile lifestyle.[00:09:22] The birth of mini-retirements and the death of vacations.[00:11:03] The alternative to binge traveling.[00:16:14] Purging the demons: emotional freedom.[00:18:43] The financial realities: it just gets better.[00:24:24] Fear factors: overcoming excuses not to travel.[00:30:08] When more is less: cutting the clutter.[00:39:29] The Bora-Bora dealmaker.[00:43:11] Questions and actions.[00:44:22] Take an asset and cash-flow snapshot.[00:45:02] Fear-set a one-year mini-retirement in a dream location in Europe.[00:48:38] Prepare for your trip.[00:59:42] Adding life after subtracting work.[01:01:51] Depression and boredom: it's normal.[01:05:31] Frustrations and doubts: you're not alone.[01:12:01] The point of it all.[01:13:37] Learning unlimited: sharpening the saw.[01:17:24] Service for the right reasons.[01:20:05] Questions and actions.[01:22:46] Make an anonymous donation to the service organization of your choice.[01:24:05] Take a learning mini-retirement in combination with local volunteering.[01:28:42] The top 13 new rich mistakes.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
