Purposeful Redemption (Ephesians 1:7–10) by Jason S. DeRouchie
Summer is the perfect time to slow down, get a little reflective, and have some fun—which is exactly what this Ask Me Anything episode is all about. Whether you're on a walk, running errands, or hiding in the pantry for a moment of peace, this one's for you. I'm answering your thoughtful, curious, and sometimes hilarious questions—from how I remember the little details in people's lives, to navigating social situations when you're feeling anxious or awkward. We'll talk about intentional relationships, what my parents do as grandparents that means so much to my kids, and how I handle body talk with my girls after walking through my own struggles with an eating disorder. And yes, we're also covering the lighter stuff—like why I just can't get into movies, the snacks saving me this summer, and the one sound that drives me absolutely nuts. I even share how therapy and feedback have reshaped my year and why I've learned to embrace being helped, not just helping. This episode is full of honest reflections, tiny tweaks, and a whole lot of heart to help you live a little simpler, more connected, and more intentional—because you don't have to overhaul your life to love it. Sometimes, one tiny tweak is all it takes.

George explores simplicity as a spiritual discipline to deepen our relationship with God and others for a more focused life. Purposeful simplicity is about consciously curating a life that prioritizes what truly matters, creating space for what brings joy and purpose by reducing excess and focusing on what aligns with your heart and values. You life is a work of art in which you and God are making something beautiful!Simplicity is about Freedom—to choose less rather than more. The people I know who are happy always have a simple belief system. It's very concrete, it's personal, and they usually believe one of two things really well, and base their whole life on that. — Richard Rohr

Today, Bob teaches meditation and mindfulness at Elon University, embodying a philosophy shaped by Taoism, Buddhism, and Christianity.Some Key Highlights:The powerful books and fictional characters that shaped Bob's early ideas of justice and heroismHow he ended up working both sides of the courtroom—from prosecuting to defending high-stakes criminal casesThe surprising turning point that led him from law to spiritualityThe unexpected discipline that helped him shift from ego-driven success to inner alignmentWhat it really means to lead a mindful life (hint: it's not about emptying your mind)Bob's story is a living example of reinvention—not just once, but many times over.

Purposeful prayer includes repentance. Forgive us our sins, help us to forgive others, because while we are at odds with creation we can't hope for petitions to be heard or granted.If we want God to hear and provide, we can't make requests with sin-filled hearts.Asking God to help you forgive others is a recognition of our spiritual weakness. Refusing forgiveness is a spiritual weakness.Our sin accrued a debt. Christ paid that debt. And so God is faithful to forgive.Matthew 6:12 is about your relationship with God.You have a debt. Christ paid the debt. God erased and continues to erase the debt while the Spirit tries to keep you out of debt.Forgiveness is free. Fellowship comes at a cross.Proof of your relationship with God is a merciful disposition.Matthew 6, Mark 11:24-25, James 1:13-14, 1 John 1:9, Ephesians 4:32, Romans 5:8, Romans 12:19-20

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis continue the season 5 series on the Mathematics Teaching Practices from NCTM's Principles to Actions, celebrating it's 10th anniversary. This month's practice is “Pose Purposeful Questions.” This is defined as follows:Effective teaching of mathematics uses purposeful questions to assess and advance students' reasoning and sense making about important mathematical ideas and relationships. In unpacking this definition, our hosts key in on the importance of planning for questions during instruction to ensure that they are purposeful. They discuss how purposeful questions can assess student thinking by giving teacher insight to how students are reasoning about the mathematics. This might include asking a follow-up question even when a student provides a correct answer! They also consider advancing questions, that take students' current thinking and move it beyond where they are to deeper understanding of important mathematics. With intentional and careful planning of questions, teachers can provide insight to students about what aspects of the math are most important, and encourage them to use and value their own thinking on the journey of learning math.Additional referenced content includes:· NCTM's Principles to Actions· NCTM's Taking Action series for grades K-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12· MTLT article Planning and Implementing Effective Questioning (membership required)· (additional articles from CCTM book study Chapter 5) Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?
