In “How the Church Moves,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 5 about becoming a healthy church that moves with purity, responsibility, and honor. From caring for people in need and providing for our families to honoring accountable leaders, working hard, staying connected to Christ, and caring for our whole selves, this message challenges us to leave autopilot faith behind and live intentionally through wholehearted surrender to Jesus.

A crisis exposed every weakness in Khamo Law's business. Instead of blaming tort reform, Koro Khamo rebuilt the firm's operations—and came back stronger than ever. Koro Khamo is the founder of Khamo Law, a Michigan personal injury firm that rebounded from a 30% revenue decline to 40% annual growth after overhauling its operations. Today, the firm serves a unique Arabic- and Chaldean-speaking market, has recovered from one of Michigan's biggest legislative shifts, and is pursuing a goal of becoming one of the state's top three PI firms. In this episode, Koro shares why operations—not marketing—were holding his firm back, how stronger relationships with medical providers increased case value after tort reform, and why Arabic SEO has become an untapped competitive advantage. You'll learn: Why law firm operations become the biggest constraint during rapid growth. How provider relationships can increase average case value after tort reform. What makes Arabic and Aramaic SEO a blue-ocean opportunity for PI firms. Why intake speed matters even more when serving multilingual communities.

This week on So Shameless, Tahoe is joined by Paris Danielle, Lola The Divine and Yesssterday for a conversation that goes from hilarious relationship misunderstandings to some much heavier questions about race, safety and what Black Americans should be paying attention to. Paris opens up about realizing bartending simply wasn't for her, before the crew asks why women are so quick to hit their man with “WRONG B*TCH!” when he remembers something she doesn't. Why is the first assumption that he must be confusing her with another woman? Then things get serious. The crew discusses the blackout in Gary, Indiana and questions surrounding the length of the power restoration, reports and concerns involving Black people being found hanging from trees in the South, and what Black communities should realistically be prepared for if racial tensions in America continue to escalate. We also get into a disturbing Google search observation: why does searching “I'm alone with a white man” trigger language asking whether you're scared or in danger, while similar searches involving other races or genders appear to produce different results? Finally, we tackle one of the biggest debates in modern relationships: If men historically became providers partly because women had limited legal and economic opportunities, why are men still expected to financially provide now that women can earn, own, lead and—in many cases—out-earn men? Have the opportunities changed while the relationship expectations stayed the same? Featuring: @ParisDanielleco @lolatheedivine @yesssterday @tahoe_tv Subscribe to our Patreon to hear the full episode (part one and two) AD FREESo Shameless — where the conversations everybody is having privately get said out loud.

What happens when we spend so much time looking at what others have that we lose sight of what Allah has already given us?In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by her teacher, Imam Mohamed Magid, to reflect on verses 131–133 of Surah TaHa.The conversation begins with Allah's warning not to gaze longingly at the beauty and luxuries others have been given in this world. What looks like success may simply be a test, and what Allah provides is ultimately better and more lasting. Imam Magid reflects on the danger of becoming captivated by appearances, wealth, status, and material success, especially when what we admire may have been built through injustice or harm.In this episode, you will learn:

John Quinn, founder and CEO of Wellnecity, joins Stacey Richter for an outtake from their conversation last fall on rethinking how self-insured employers build their provider networks. Rather than treating the network as one big, undifferentiated system, Quinn argues employers should think like a manufacturing supply chain: break healthcare into defined "subassemblies," or pods of care — pediatric care, a cancer journey, a kidney stone episode — and direct-contract for those pods whenever the price beats the fee-for-service average. If the boundaries of the pod are clear and the price comes in lower, Quinn says, the plan and the member both win, quality being equal. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why Stacey Richter says the provider-network debate could fill "a 20-hour show," and why networks still have real upsides — administrative infrastructure, claims coordination, guaranteed provider payment, and broad access — even as critics like Mark Cuban ask on LinkedIn, "Why do we need networks? It is just a way for insurers to play pricing games." ✅ A real example of network rigidity: a self-insured employer identified 40 physicians who cost the plan upwards of $15 million in a single plan year while patient harm was occurring, and their ASO couldn't figure out how to remove those doctors from network under the existing contract structure ✅ How John Quinn defines a "subassembly" or "pod of care" — a bounded, definable episode like pediatric care or a cancer journey — and why purchasing that pod for less than the fee-for-service average is a win for the plan and member, assuming quality stays neutral ✅ Quinn's kidney stone example: a physician who says he can now treat a kidney stone in a 48-hour to five-day episode for roughly $2,000 to $3,000, versus the typical six weeks of pain, overuse of pain medication, and a price north of $10,000 ✅ Why Quinn frames network optimization as a manufacturing supply-chain problem — the same way an automobile gets built from subassemblies sourced from specialized providers around the globe — because it's a mental model CFOs and senior leadership at self-insured employers already trust ✅ Quinn's bottom line: "We have the tech and we've got the tools to do this at this point. We just have to get ourselves out of" the fee-for-service hangover WHY THIS MATTERS Provider networks have real tradeoffs: broad access and guaranteed payment on one side, opaque pricing and rigid contracts on the other. John Quinn's pitch to self-insured employers isn't to blow up the network model, but to layer bounded, directly contracted "pods of care" on top of it wherever a clear price beats the fee-for-service average. Framing that as supply-chain sourcing, rather than a wholesale network overhaul, gives risk-averse finance and HR leaders a model they already understand — and, Quinn argues, the technology to act on it already exists.

Who should lead the family—the man, the woman, or whoever makes the most money?Marquett challenges a young woman after she argues that the person who provides more financially can become the leader of the household. What follows is a heated conversation about male leadership, female independence, provider relationships, traditional gender roles, marriage, money, and modern dating expectations.Marquett argues that modern relationships have created a contradiction: some women want the financial benefits associated with a traditional provider while rejecting the expectations and relationship structure that historically came with that arrangement.The conversation also turns to marriage, success, family, independence, and whether women should establish themselves financially before pursuing marriage.Who do you agree with? Does earning more money determine who leads—or are leadership and income two completely different things?⸻

Private equity doesn't have to be the villain of healthcare, but it changes the math. When non-providers start running provider spaces, the metrics shift from patient outcomes to productivity targets, and staff feel that pressure first.In this episode, John Allan, DPT sits down with Dr. Josh Funk, CEO of Rehab 2 Perform, to break down what a provider-led alternative actually looks like in practice. Not a mission statement. An operational framework: an 80/20 rule where 80% of capacity goes to production and 20% is protected on purpose for staff wellness, collaboration, and continuing education.What they cover:Why private equity ownership shifts incentives away from patient careThe 80/20 rule behind a provider-led business modelThe metrics that matter more than revenue: net promoter score, staff retention, patient outcomesBalancing consumer and clinician branding during expansionWhy every clinician needs basic business literacy, and what it unlocksThe importance of asking questionsGrowth means nothing if it costs the people delivering the care. This episode highlights how to build it differently.Social Media:Rehab2PerformR2P AcademyDr. Josh Funk

Provider production reports can reveal far more than which clinician produced the most. When production numbers are viewed without context around capacity, schedule utilization, experience, and procedure mix, they can create inaccurate comparisons and unproductive conversations. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt and practice coach Miranda Beeson explain how to evaluate production by provider as a management and coaching tool rather than a scorecard. You will learn how to connect production with capacity, identify what is influencing each provider's results, and use the data to create clearer expectations and better opportunities for your team to succeed. To learn how to get more useful information from your provider production reports, listen to Episode 1084 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Provider production reports should be used as decision-making and coaching tools rather than simple scorecards.Production comparisons should account for differences in schedule capacity, clinical responsibilities, experience, and procedure mix.Capacity measures how much of a provider's available clinical time is actually being utilized with patients in the chair.Production and schedule utilization should be reviewed together to determine whether each provider has an appropriate opportunity to produce.Practice owners should investigate why providers or specific days perform differently instead of assigning blame based on production totals alone.Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team can reveal scheduling, case acceptance, and service-mix opportunities.Clear expectations and collaborative review of production data can support provider development and associate retention.Episode Chapters:00:00 Intro02:19 Why production reports matter04:00 Evaluating associate production with schedule utilization.06:15 Defining provider capacity.07:58 What practices get wrong with production reports.12:42 What healthy practices do differently.15:57 A practical exercise for reviewing production and capacity.18:00 Reviewing successful and unsuccessful days with the team.19:00 Developing providers and supporting associate retention.20:00 Closing thoughts.Guest Bio:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy. Family time is the best time, and is often spent on a golf course, a volleyball court, or spending the day boating at the beach.More Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:Contact Gina to learn more about ACT: gina@actdental.comThe Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Smile Source Community Hub: https://www.actdental.com/community-hubUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

Daily Dose of Hope August 10, 2026   Scripture: Genesis 4   Prayer:  Abba Father, You are our Creator, Provider, and Sustainer.  Thank you, Lord, for wanting to be in relationship with us. You are a God who sits high and looks low.  You, who are over everything, also care deeply for us.  We are so grateful.  Help us do all we can to glorify you.  We desperately need you, Jesus.  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a deep dive into Genesis and Exodus.  Right now, we are in the beginning of Genesis; today's reading is Genesis 4.   Let's talk a bit about this chapter.  The sons of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, give God a first fruits offering. A first fruit offering is when we give God the first and best of a harvest or flock before we have used any of it.  So, Abel gives God his best, the fat of his firstborn of his animals, the best of the best; Cain gives God some veggies, but obviously not his best. Why did Cain hold back on God? We don't know, but we begin to get a sense of his heart. So, not surprisingly, God is pleased with Abel's offering but not Cain's. What's interesting is that Cain isn't sorry, he doesn't show remorse. Rather, he gets angry.   So, God confronts Cain and gives him a chance to change his offering. Cain must know the right thing but he is refusing to do it. He is refusing to give God his best. His attitude is terrible. And God knows this. God knows exactly what he is thinking, he knows the anger and jealousy that he has allowed to grow in his heart. And God gives him a warning. "Cain, be careful, because sin in crouching at your door. It is right there. If you don't get this in check, then things are only going to get worse. Watch yourself." But Cain doesn't heed God's guidance.  In fact, he ends up killing his brother!   God decides to punish Cain by making him a wanderer.  He will no longer work the land.  We might think of a wonderer in this instance as a nomadic person.  This means Cain will no longer have the protection of his home and village but will be banished from the land and live a nomadic lifestyle, which means being exposed to all kinds of dangers. And while I think Cain is getting off kind of easy here, he is devastated.   The story ends with a token of God's grace. Cain tells God how scared he is of all that is out there. And God, in his compassion, gives Cain a mark. We have no idea what the mark is but it was a mark that meant he would be protected. No wild tribe could kill him as he slept in his tent. He would go with God's protection. Truly God's grace when he totally didn't deserve it. God is good.   Bottom line:  Cain and Abel had a dysfunctional relationship characterized by comparison and jealousy. And my guess is it didn't start with this one story. The kind of anger and jealousy that Cain demonstrated tends to grow over time.    A few reflections:   ·      Friends, sin is always crouching at our door.  But we have a choice. We don't have to give into it. We don't have to choose sin. There are a lot of things in life that we have no control over, but we always, always have a choice how we respond. Maybe Cain didn't like farming.  God chose that for him and he didn't have a lot of choice there.  But Cain did have a choice when it came to his first fruits.  He did have a choice how he responded to his brother.   This is the thing, we don't typically stumble into sin. We make choices to allow sin to seep into our hearts and lives. Maybe we don't think of it as a choice but it is. We open the door to "small" sins by allowing things to seep into our heart. If I am jealous, if I am bitter, if I harbor serious resentment, if I say unkind things about people behind their back, those things affect our heart. Whether you are aware of it or not, these sins create a wedge between us and God. Not only do they keep us from growing in our walk with Jesus, but they make it so much easier for us to allow more sin to seep in.   ·      God knows our hearts. God knew Cain's heart. There is nothing we can hide from God. Cain couldn't hide his jealousy and greed from God. Even before Cain gave his sub-par veggie offering, God knew. God knew his heart wasn't in it, that he was holding back. God knew that Cain was harboring a lot of anger toward his brother, hence his warning that sin was crouching at the door.   ·      Comparison never turns out well.  Scripture doesn't offer us a lot of details about the relationship between Cain and Abel. I can't help but think there was a history there. A history of comparison. A history of ill will. He obviously compared himself to Abel. But regardless, when we compare ourselves to others, it never turns out well. Either it leads to pride (if we think we're better) or sorrow if we think we are not.  Comparison is the death of joy. Comparison of jobs, comparison of salaries, comparisons of children, comparisons of appearance.. You get the point. Comparison never ends well. This has been the hardest thing for me to learn. That I'm good enough the way I am. That God created me and designed me. And that the only thing that matters is the AUDIENCE of ONE   ·      God's grace is always present. Cain killed someone. The typical punishment for murder would have been death, but God doesn't do that. He makes him a nomad. Even then, Cain is highly distressed that he won't be safe out wandering the area alone. He is worried about being attacked or killed out in the world. So God extends more grace by giving him some kind of mark that would protect him for the remainder of his days.   No matter what we've done, no matter what's been done to us, no matter how dire our circumstances may seem, God's grace is always present. God's grace was extended to Cain, God's grace was extended to the complaining Israelites over and over again, God's grace was extended to David, God's grace was offered to the world through Jesus' death on the cross, God's grace is available to us today.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki    

By December she was warm all the way through, and that turned out not to be a good thing. The debts got consolidated, gently, so she wouldn't have to face the collectors. The account got managed, gently, so her money would be protected from her while she was still fragile. Walt's lawyer took the custody case for free, and it started to work — every step back toward her children running straight through him. Her sister called the house once and was told, kindly, that she needed space. Then a woman about sixty stopped her cart in the grocery store and said: count everything he does for you. One day he's going to hand you the bill. She defended him. Part 2 of 4.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

The Los Angeles Times examined the compensation of Carol Adelkoff, CEO of the 1736 Family Crisis Center, a Southern California nonprofit that operates domestic violence shelters, crisis hotlines, and homelessness programs.

In this episode, host Dr. Nick Rainey is joined by Dr. Bremen Abuhl and Dr. Dallas Ehrmantraut to discuss their 2025 Physical Therapy Journal article, “First Contact Physical Therapy Compared to Usual Primary Care for Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of RCTs.”The conversation explores whether physical therapists should serve as the first point of contact for patients with musculoskeletal disorders and how first contact PT compares with usual primary care.Dr. Abuhl and Dr. Ehrmantraut discuss their findings, including reduced imaging utilization, reduced prescription medication utilization, and similar clinical outcomes for pain, disability, and health-related quality of life. They also unpack the terminology around direct access, first contact PT, and primary care PT, and explain why direct triage models may offer a more efficient pathway for patients.The episode also addresses real-world implementation barriers, including reimbursement models, state scope-of-practice variation, imaging privileges, medication prescribing, stakeholder buy-in, and the need for PTs to step confidently into first contact roles.Key TakeawaysFirst contact PT is not the same as direct access. Direct access means patients can choose PT without referral. First contact PT means the PT is the first provider evaluating the patient for that episode of care.The study found lower healthcare utilization. First contact PT was associated with 45% less imaging and 71% less prescription medication utilization compared with usual primary care.Clinical outcomes were similar. Pain, disability, and health-related quality of life outcomes were statistically similar between first contact PT and usual primary care.Less imaging is not automatically the goal. The more important question is appropriate utilization: avoiding both overuse and underuse.Implementation is a system problem. Scope of practice, reimbursement, stakeholder buy-in, state law, and health system workflows all influence whether first contact PT can work.Direct triage may be the stronger model. Compared with warm handoffs, direct triage allows patients with appropriate MSK presentations to start with PT as the first provider.PTs need to be ready for real-world first contact care. That includes identifying red flags, determining urgency, ordering or recommending imaging when appropriate, and referring to the right provider when needed. Chapters: 00:00 — Welcome and guest introductions 01:17 — Dr. Bremen Abuhl's path into first contact PT research 03:13 — Dr. Dallas Ehrmantraut's clinical spark for the topic 06:16 — Overview of the PTJ systematic review and meta-analysis 09:52 — Direct access vs first contact PT vs primary care PT 13:15 — Global evidence and limited U.S.-based RCTs 16:24 — Imaging findings and appropriate utilization 20:37 — Medication utilization findings 23:27 — Clinical outcomes: pain, disability, and quality of life 25:20 — Study limitations and downstream utilization 27:13 — Why longer-term outcomes matter 31:15 — Risk of bias and crossover between groups 33:36 — U.S. system barriers to first contact PT 36:37 — Reimbursement, payer models, and stakeholder concerns 40:45 — Direct triage vs warm handoff models 44:15 — Scope of practice and state-level barriers 46:08 — Real-world safety, red flags, and PT decision-making 48:01 — Call to action for physical therapists 50:06 — Closing thoughts

Many believers know what it means to accept salvation, but few realize the divine fail-safe God built into the spiritual realm when He placed us "in Christ Jesus." In this powerful message, Dr. Edith Davis illuminates how moving from basic faith to a deeper, Spirit-filled authority changes everything about how we walk through daily spiritual battles, sickness, and financial trial. -- Understanding the divine fail-safe of being hidden in Christ Jesus, making your blessing impossible for the enemy to steal. -- The essential difference between the initial experience of salvation and the second baptism of the Holy Spirit with power and authority. -- How to actively appropriate spiritual gifts and promises by faith rather than waiting passively for physical manifestation. -- Shifting your primary focus from seeking blessings (healing, provision) to seeking the Source (the Healer, the Provider). -- Developing a daily, conversational, personal relationship with the Holy Spirit that prioritizes intimacy over mere ministry work. -- Speaking spiritual truth over physical circumstances to align your health, mind, and finances with heaven's reality.

Episode Description: The way that you breathe actually shapes the way that your face grows. And if your child is sleeping with their mouth open, that is not cute. That is a warning sign. Dr. Nora Zaghi is an airway focused biological pediatric dentist and one of the leading practitioners in sleep disordered breathing. This conversation connects dots that most people have never had connected for them. Mouth breathing, tongue ties, crowded jaws, ADHD, anxiety, dark circles under the eyes, restless sleep, and even the way a child walks. It is all coming from the same root. And for adults who have been living with this their entire lives without knowing it, there are still solutions. In this episode, you'll discover:  •   Why where your tongue rests in your mouth determines how your jaw and face develop, and why children who mouth breathe grow downward and backward instead of forward and wide  •   How a tongue tie creates tension through the entire deep front line of the body from the base of the tongue all the way to the toes, and why releasing it has caused patients to cry, stand straighter, speak more confidently, and walk normally for the first time  •   The root cause connection between a restrictive tongue, jaw clenching and grinding, and chronic anxiety, and the simple at home test you can do right now to check your own tongue mobility This episode is for every parent, every adult who was told they had ADHD or anxiety, and everyone who has been mouth breathing their whole life without knowing there was a name for it.

One of the greatest lessons that Hashem taught us was through the forty years that the Jewish people spent in the desert. There they had no homes, no farms, no businesses, and no way to provide for themselves. And that was one of the greatest blessings because they knew with absolute clarity that they were completely dependent upon Hashem for every aspect of their lives. That made it much easier for them to adhere to the Torah and mitzvot. Moshe Rabbenu told the people in Parashat Ekev how their food came in the form of the mann, their water came from a rock, and their clothing never wore out. Every single day they lived with the clear recognition that Hashem alone was sustaining them. And that was a lesson they were going to need for the rest of their lives. Because Moshe warned them that everything was about to change. They were going to enter Eretz Yisrael. There they would build beautiful homes, earn their own living, buy and sell, and accumulate wealth. And at that point there would be a great danger. They were going to think that it was their own strength and ability that brought them their success. They would no longer see as clearly that Hashem was providing everything for them. Therefore, Moshe told them in advance that nothing was really going to change. The mann might stop falling, but Hashem would still be providing every meal. They would build sturdy homes, but it would not be the homes protecting them—it would be Hashem. They would work and earn money, but it would still be Hashem Who was giving them every dollar. The desert was meant to teach them a lesson that they would carry with them for the rest of their lives. Although the miracles would no longer be as open, the One providing for them was not going to change. He would still be the very same Provider. And this lesson was not written only for that generation. It was written for all generations, including us. We may no longer receive mann, but every bit of sustenance we receive comes from Hashem. We may think we're earning our own living, building our own homes, and solving our own problems, but behind every success stands the same Hashem Who sustained His nation in the desert for forty years. A man who passed away this past week, Moshe ben Nizha a"h,, left his family with many great lessons, one of which was shared by his children. Several years ago, he had to spend a month in Italy on business. While he was there, he sent his children a picture and asked them to enlarge it and frame it so he could hang it on his wall. They assumed he was going to send a picture of the beautiful hotel where he was staying. Instead, he sent them a picture of a plain stone staircase with a brick wall beside it. They couldn't understand why he wanted such a picture enlarged. He explained that years earlier he had stayed at that very same hotel. One day, after everyone had left, he was climbing that staircase to his room when he tripped, slammed his head into the stone wall, and then fell backward onto the concrete floor. He was badly injured, bleeding from his head, and unable to move. He had no phone with him, no family, no friends, and nobody knew where he was. It was an isolated area, and no one was expected to come by. Lying there helplessly, he looked up toward Shamayim, and with the little strength he had left, he prayed, "Hashem, please save me." Less than a minute later, someone unexpectedly appeared. The man was not supposed to be there at that time, yet he noticed him lying on the floor and rushed over to help. Amazingly, this man was a doctor. He treated him, bandaged his wounds, and made sure he received the care he needed. Although he had suffered a concussion, he made a complete recovery. That staircase became one of the most meaningful places in his life. He wanted that picture hanging on his wall because he never wanted to forget that moment. Whenever life became difficult or it seemed that there was no solution, he wanted to look at that picture and remember. He wanted to remember lying helplessly on the floor in a foreign country with absolutely no one to turn to for help, and how Hashem sent him his salvation in less than a minute. This is the lesson Moshe Rabbeinu wanted us to take from the desert. We all have moments in our lives when Hashem's hand is obvious and crystal clear. Those moments are not only meant to help us then—they are meant to become our own "desert." We should take a picture of those moments and carry them with us for the rest of our lives. Then, if life ever becomes too comfortable and we begin feeling that we're managing on our own, or when we face a challenge that seems impossible, we can look back and remember that nothing has really changed. The same Hashem Who helped us then is helping us now. The same Hashem Who provided the mann in the desert, and the same Hashem Who sent a doctor to a secluded staircase in Italy, is guiding every detail of our lives today. When we internalize those moments of clarity, they become a source of strength for every situation we will ever face. No matter where we are, and no matter how impossible things appear to be, Hashem is always with us, just as He always has been, and He can help us through every situation.

Most of us do not wake up intending to serve money. Yet financial pressures, ambitions, and fears can quietly begin shaping our choices. Before long, money may influence where we find security, how we measure success, and what we believe will bring us peace. Jesus speaks directly to this danger in Luke 16:13: “You cannot serve God and money.” Money was never meant to be our master. But when it is placed in its proper role, it can become a useful tool for serving God, caring for our families, and blessing others. So, what does a biblical approach to money look like? Money Is a Gift to Receive With Gratitude The Bible speaks frequently about wealth, possessions, generosity, and stewardship. One of its clearest principles is that money is not the goal. It is a resource entrusted to us by God. Ecclesiastes 5:19 says: “Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them…this is the gift of God.” God is not opposed to provision or the appropriate enjoyment of what He provides. His gifts should be received with gratitude rather than guilt. We see a picture of God's abundant provision when Jesus feeds the five thousand in Matthew 14. Christ not only meets the immediate needs of the crowd, but the disciples also collect twelve baskets of leftovers. The point is not indulgence or excess. It is that God is a generous provider who delights in caring for His people. Everything we possess ultimately comes from Him. Recognizing that truth allows us to enjoy His provision without believing we own it independently of Him. Money Reveals What We Trust Although money can be a gift, it also carries spiritual significance because it reveals the condition of our hearts. 1 Timothy 6:10 warns that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.” Paul does not say that money itself is evil. The danger arises when we love money or look to it for something only God can provide. Money cannot give us lasting security, establish our identity, or bring genuine peace. When we expect it to do those things, a useful tool begins to take the place of our faithful Provider. Every financial decision can reveal something about our trust. Our spending may expose what we value. Our saving may show whether we are preparing wisely or attempting to control an uncertain future. Our generosity may reveal whether we believe God will continue to provide. The question is not simply, “What am I doing with my money?” It is also, “What is my money doing to my heart?” Money Is Meant to Serve God's Purposes Ephesians 4:28 gives us a broader vision for our work and resources. Paul instructs believers to work honestly “so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.” We do not earn merely to accumulate. God enables us to work so that we can provide for our responsibilities, prepare wisely for the future, and share with others. That perspective transforms the purpose of our financial lives. Work becomes more than survival or personal advancement. It becomes one way we participate in God's generosity. Saving becomes thoughtful preparation rather than an attempt to eliminate every uncertainty. Investing can become an act of stewardship when it supports future responsibilities and generosity. This purpose often expresses itself through ordinary decisions: choosing to give even when the budget feels limited, avoiding unnecessary debt, setting aside money for future needs, or creating enough margin to respond when someone needs help. Those individual choices may feel small, but over time they shape both our finances and our hearts. Money becomes especially useful when it flows outward in service rather than being gathered inward as a source of identity or control. Money Must Remain a Servant When Jesus said we cannot serve both God and money, He was establishing the proper order of our allegiance. Money must remain a servant rather than becoming our master. In his sermon “The Use of Money,” John Wesley described money as a valuable gift when it is used in the hands of God's people. It can feed the hungry, provide clothing for those in need, and offer shelter to the traveler and stranger. That is a beautiful picture of money placed in its proper role. It is not worshiped, feared, or pursued as an end in itself. It is directed toward purposes that reflect God's love and generosity. Money may help us accomplish many good things, but it is never qualified to lead our lives. Only God deserves our trust, devotion, and obedience. Money Is Temporary, but Its Use Can Matter Eternally 1 Timothy 6:7 reminds us, “We brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.” Every dollar we manage is temporary. Homes, accounts, investments, and possessions will eventually pass from our hands. Yet the way we use those temporary resources can have lasting significance. When we remember that money is temporary, we can begin to hold it more loosely. We can enjoy God's provision without being controlled by it. We can plan wisely without placing our hope in wealth. And we can give generously because we know that God—not our bank account—is our ultimate provider. Before your next decision about spending, saving, investing, or giving, consider asking a different question: Lord, how can this money serve You and others? Money is never the destination. It is simply a tool God places in our hands to accomplish purposes greater than ourselves.

My husband and I are nearing retirement with no emergency savings, about $140,000 in personal-loan debt from his failed business, plus a mortgage and car loan. We spend nearly $10,000 a month. After giving, should we use the money to build savings, pay down debt, or invest some of it? My husband and I are approaching 65, qualify for Social Security, and plan to keep working. I'm also eligible for a teacher pension. Should I claim Social Security now, delay it, or rely on my pension first? Would a Certified Kingdom Advisor® (CKA®) be the right person to help us evaluate our options? My father-in-law recently passed away, and I'm helping my mother-in-law with her finances. She has about $11,000 across six credit cards. Some issuers have offered to freeze the accounts and stop the interest while she repays them. Should she accept those arrangements or consolidate the balances into one loan? Her Social Security benefit is small, and my father-in-law's check has stopped. Could she qualify for a survivor benefit based on his record?

Text: Genesis 45 Providential Forgiveness (Gen. 45:1-15) As Joseph reveals himself to his brothers, he traces God's providence through the evil his brothers had done to him. We must choose to forgive one another and seek to overcome evil with good, not vengeance. (Romans 12:14-21) Providential Provision (Gen. 45:16-24) God sovereignly provides for His people through Pharaoh's decree and Joseph's generosity.  God's grace is put on display as He sovereignly and abundantly provides for all our needs. Providential Renewal (Gen. 45:25-28) Jacob not only discovers that Joseph is alive, but also that he is both ruler and provider. This news brings new life to Jacob as he journeys to see his son one last time. Christ is the ultimate Provider of salvation and reconciliation to all who believe in Him (Romans 5:8-11). Main Idea: God providentially accomplishes His saving purpose by extending forgiveness to those who deserve judgment.

The year she turned forty-one, everything came apart — the marriage, the job, custody of her two kids — and by October she was sleeping in her car. Then Walt found her. Everyone in town knew Walt: the man who paid for the food bank's roof, who cosigned second chances, who crouched by her window in the cold and offered her a warm room like she'd be doing him the favor. So she followed his truck home. The house was warm. There was a fire, and a plate of food, and a quiet woman named Ellen who'd been there eleven years and had to stop and count. And every single thing Walt did was a kindness. That was the problem. Part 1 of 4. Don't decide you'd have seen it coming. You'd have stayed too.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media! Get all our shows on any player you love, hassle free!

Two days on the witness stand. The prosecution's first and most important witness in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. And everything Patrick Clancy said in Plymouth Superior Court made the defense's case stronger.He walked the jury through finding a bedroom covered in blood, his wife beneath an open window, and his three children in the basement. The 911 call played in court left jurors visibly emotional and the judge calling a recess. But during cross-examination, Patrick described a woman who spent months going from provider to provider, getting prescription after prescription, tracking every pill in a journal, checking herself into McLean Hospital voluntarily — and never once being told by any medical professional that she shouldn't be left alone with Cora, Dawson, and Callan. The prosecution tried to undercut the overmedication defense with nine bottles still containing pills. Tony explains why that evidence cuts against the state's own argument. Plus the defense motion over how prosecutors are characterizing Lindsay's internet searches, and the voice Lindsay says she heard on the night of January 24, 2023.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, Justin welcomes back Peggy, a women's health nurse practitioner who first appeared on the podcast nearly two years ago. Since then, her practice has grown into a multi-provider, multi-location business serving hundreds of patients each month, giving her the freedom to step away knowing her team and systems will continue to thrive. The conversation is a powerful reminder of what's possible when you commit to building something bigger than yourself.Together, they discuss what it really means to transition from being self-employed to becoming an entrepreneur.

EMS workers are mourning the loss of one of their own. Longtime paramedic and inventory technician Chuck Brady died by suicide earlier this month. He worked with Allina Health EMS for 17 years. Paramedics are one of the many professions that experience unique mental health challenges. EMS providers are 1.39 times more likely to die by suicide than the public according to the CDC. Joining Minnesota Now to remember Chuck and talk about the mental health challenges EMS providers face is Brett Hopper. He is a paramedic and union president for the International Association of EMTs and Paramedics Local 167.

Medical aesthetics is one of the few areas of healthcare where practice owners have real control over pricing. Because most services are cash pay, med spas are not waiting on insurance reimbursements or negotiating with carriers. Yet many practices give away that advantage by running constant promotions and training patients to shop for the lowest Botox price.  In this solo episode, I explain how deep discounts create margin erosion, weaken patient loyalty, and push the industry toward commoditization. I also share how stronger consultations, treatment plans, and value-based pricing can improve retention, patient experience, and clinic profitability without turning every appointment into a sales pitch. Discounts Train Patients to Wait for the Next Offer  Discounts can fill the schedule for a weekend, but they also change how patients see the practice. When every holiday comes with a coupon, patients learn that the listed price is temporary and the service is interchangeable. That is how Botox pricing and injectables start to feel like retail products instead of medical treatments.  Patients who choose a practice based only on price are also difficult to retain. They may come in for the promotion and leave as soon as another clinic advertises a better deal. You pay to acquire them, give up margin on the treatment, and still have no lasting customer relationship to show for it. Run the Numbers Before You Run the Promotion  A discount should never be approved simply because the calendar is slow or a competitor launched one. Before lowering the price, look at what the offer does to gross profit, cash flow, future capacity, and patient behavior. Promotional revenue can look impressive while the economics underneath it tell a very different story.  Calculate treatment margin after product cost, provider compensation, payment fees, and promotional spending  Measure how many discounted patients return and rebook at full price  Compare customer acquisition cost with patient lifetime value  Account for prepaid packages as future treatment obligations rather than immediate profit  Review inventory levels before promoting injectables or retail products  Determine whether the offer supports a broader treatment plan or only creates a one-time visit  Give the team clear language to explain value, outcomes, and next steps without relying on aggressive sales techniques  If the numbers only work when patients purchase more later, be honest about how often that actually happens. Upselling cannot carry the strategy when your intake, follow-up, and rebooking systems are not built to support it.  (00:05:43) Building lasting patient relationships (00:09:01) Setting confident pricing for services (00:10:40) Understanding value versus effort (00:15:21) Shifting from retail to patient focus (00:16:31) Improving client intake and planning (00:19:37) Identifying growth barriers for practices  Lead the Consultation With Medical Authority  A patient consultation should feel like clinical guidance, not a review of services and prices. Patients come to you because they want a result and need help understanding which treatments will get them there. When providers lead with patient education, set realistic expectations, and recommend a clear treatment plan, price becomes one part of the decision rather than the entire conversation.  This also creates a better patient experience. People are more likely to follow through, rebook, and trust future recommendations when they understand why the plan was created. Value-based pricing works when the practice can clearly connect its expertise, care, and treatment strategy to the outcome the patient wants. Patient Loyalty Creates More Predictable Growth  Practices that depend on promotions often see the same pattern: a rush of cash, a crowded schedule, and then another dip. That volatility makes financial management harder because staffing, inventory management, and marketing decisions are being made around short-term spikes instead of reliable demand.  A medicine-first approach creates cleaner practice growth. Strong treatment plans, consistent rebooking, and better customer retention increase patient lifetime value and make cash flow easier to forecast. Over time, that stability gives you room to improve margins, invest in your team, and expand without constantly discounting the work that built your reputation. A med spa with medical authority and loyal patients has far more control over its pricing, profitability, and future.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon: Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

Welcome to Day 2913 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2913 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 145:14-21 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2913 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2913 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Open Hand of the Sovereign King – Satisfying the Soul and Guarding the Faithful On our previous trek together—on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Twelve—we stood on the breathtaking mountain pass of Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five, exploring verses eight through thirteen. We contemplated the magnificent, self-revealed character of Yahweh; a King who is merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing, covenant-keeping love. We celebrated His everlasting kingdom that spans every physical and spiritual generation across the entire cosmos. Today, as we step onto the final ridge of this magnificent psalm, advancing into Psalm One Hundred Forty-Five, verses fourteen through twenty-one, David brings this grand, acrostic masterpiece to its ultimate, soaring climax. What makes this passage so extraordinary is how it seamlessly bridges the infinite with the intimate. David takes our eyes—which were previously gazing at the eternal throne of the universe—and gently directs them down to the everyday realities of human suffering, physical hunger, and heartfelt prayer. As we close out the very last psalm directly attributed to King David in the Book of Psalms, we will discover how the supreme Ruler of the celestial council personally bends down to lift the weary, open His generous hand to feed all creation, and draw near to everyone who calls upon His name in truth. The first segment is” The Divine Provider: Lifting the Burdened and Opening the Heavenly Hand Let us open our hearts to the tender, sustaining care of our Creator, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical, contiguous thoughts found in verse fourteen, verse fifteen, and verse sixteen. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. In these three beautiful verses, David unveils a radical, breathtaking vision of divine care that would have thoroughly shocked the ancient Near Eastern world. In the pagan nations surrounding Israel, earthly kings and their territorial deities operated with cold, imperious detachment. The pagan gods were believed to be needy, demanding entities who created human beings solely as slaves to build their temples and feed them with ritual sacrifices. Furthermore, human kings in antiquity rarely cared for the weak, the poor, or the crippled; they valued only the strong, the wealthy, and the warrior class. But look at how Yahweh, the true Lord of the divine council, reveals Himself! He is the Sovereign God who actively bends down to help the fallen and lifts up those who are bowed low beneath crushing burdens. David paints a magnificent picture of universal cosmic dependence, declaring that the eyes of all creatures—from the smallest bird in the forest to the highest angelic host in the heavens—look to Yahweh in expectant hope. And how does the King of the universe respond? He does not send a cold bureaucrat, nor does He demand an impossible tribute. Instead, with astonishing simplicity and fatherly warmth, He simply opens His hand! In Hebrew thought, the open hand of Yahweh is the ultimate symbol of effortless, boundless generosity. By a mere gesture of His sovereign hand, He satisfies the deep hunger and thirst of every living thing on earth. Whether it is physical food for the wilderness beast or spiritual sustenance for a weary traveler on life's trek, our God is the generous Provider whose open hand keeps the entire cosmos alive and thriving. The second segment is: The Righteous Refuge: Drawing Near to the Sincere Soul The narrative now deepens, moving from physical provision to moral perfection and intimate spiritual fellowship, as David combines his logical thoughts in verse seventeen, verse eighteen, and verse nineteen. The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. Consider the staggering moral contrast David highlights in verse seventeen! Yahweh is “righteous in everything he does” and “filled with kindness.” In the original language, that word for kindness is chasid—meaning He acts out of absolute, holy loyalty and steadfast covenant love. In the unseen heavenly assembly, where principalities and powers observe the unfolding of human history, Yahweh's reign stands completely unblemished. There is no corruption in His courtroom, no partiality in His judgments, and no cruelty in His decrees. Every single act of His providence is saturated with flawless righteousness and gentle kindness. Then, look at the profound promise in verse eighteen and verse nineteen: “The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth.” In ancient royal courts, approaching a human monarch was a terrifying, life-threatening ordeal; you needed official clearance, elevated status, or lavish gifts just to stand in the outer courtyard. Yet, the supreme Ruler of heaven and earth makes Himself immediately accessible to anyone who cries out to Him with a sincere, honest heart! He does not require slick religious jargon or ritual performance; He demands only truth—an authentic, unmasked soul. When those who reverently fear Him cry out from the depths of distress, the Almighty does not turn a deaf ear. He hears their cries, grants their deepest spiritual desires, and personally steps into their circumstances to execute a glorious rescue. The third segment is: The Dual Verdict and the Universal Song of Eternity As we approach the final movement of this extraordinary psalm, David brings his narrative to a powerful, dual-sided climax, weaving together the contiguous thoughts in verse twenty and verse twenty-one. The Lord protects all who love him, but he destroys the wicked. I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. In verse twenty, David presents the ultimate, inescapable crossroads of cosmic history: "The Lord protects all who love him, but he destroys the wicked." In the ancient Israelite worldview, the world is locked in a real spiritual conflict between the kingdom of Yahweh and the forces of chaos, idolatry, and darkness. God's protective guard—His divine shield—encamps continuously around those who align their hearts with Him in love. But those who persistently choose wickedness, oppression, and rebellion against the Creator are choosing their own ultimate undoing. The judgment of Yahweh is not petty vengeance; it is the necessary, holy purging of evil from His creation, ensuring that chaos will never have the final word in His universe. And then, look at how David concludes verse twenty-one! This is an historic moment in the Psalter. David utters his very last recorded words in the Book of Psalms: "I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever." What a magnificent way for the warrior king to sign his final psalm! David begins with his individual vow—"I will praise the Lord"—and then immediately expands his voice to encompass the entire globe, praying that "everyone on earth"—all flesh, all nations, and all generations—would join in blessing Yahweh's holy name for all eternity. David hands off the baton of praise to us, inviting the whole world to join the heavenly council in endless, joyful adoration of our King!
