How Proverbs 21, Inchstones, and God-Centered Friendship Build Real Strength, Open Doors, and Transform Your LeadershipIn this episode, we break down Proverbs 21, godly friendship, and the Inchstones approach to daily wisdom, uncovering why the only way “in” is never through friendship itself—but by becoming the kind of friend God can use. These first two sentences are keyword-rich to help listeners searching for Proverbs 21 meaning, biblical leadership, Christian friendship, spiritual growth, and godly wisdom find exactly what they're looking for.I've learned this the hard way: when I tried to enter rooms through friendship, I was denied… but when I focused on becoming the right kind of friend, God opened every door I didn't even know to knock on. Relationships have torn down walls, shattered barriers, and moved mountains in my life—and maybe that's God's not-so-subtle way of keeping me grateful. Or maybe it's Him showing me—demanding of me—that true greatness is found in being the friend I'm so often searching for.Proverbs 21 flips the script:Stop hunting for the friend who will open doors.Become the friend whose motives please God… and watch Him handle the rest.In this episode, we unpack the traits Proverbs 21 tells us are non-negotiables for a great friend and a great leader:Give God your heart — right motives matter more than sacrifice.Let go of envy, pride, and ego — they don't work. Ever.Choose diligence and patience — they build unstoppable momentum.Speak life — it's an unfair advantage in a negative world.Pursue godly gain — it's more valuable than worldly success.Pay attention — awareness brings wisdom.Be generous — it saves you when you need it most.Do what's right — righteousness brings joy.Honor the future — wisdom sees beyond the moment.Love well — prosperity and honor follow those who lead with love.Strength comes from wisdom — not force.Listen fast, speak slow — the wise reverse the natural impulse.Prepare fully — but remember: the victory is always the Lord's.These traits transform friendships, leadership, business, family… your whole life. But Proverbs 21 closes with a warning: none of them work if you don't spend time with God.This episode will challenge you, stretch you, and give you practical Inchstones—small, quiet, daily moves—that build a life God can use and friendships that change the world.If you're ready to become the friend you've been searching for, this conversation will hit home.If this episode encouraged you, subscribe, review, and share the podcast to help spread the message.All links are right here: https://solo.to/kellycardenas

Yet, Aaron Gervais and Stellar Cassidy, the co-founders of Otherwise Brewing, have achieved just that. Their mission is clear: to create craft beer that tastes as good as traditional beer while being accessible to a growing community of people who avoid gluten for health reasons.Stellar explained, “Otherwise Brewing is a passion project that Aaron and I launched in 2021 after years of R&D. The beer is 100% gluten-free and celiac safe. We brew with grains alternative to barley, like rice and millet, which also have a smaller carbon footprint.” This dual focus on inclusivity and sustainability has been central to their journey.The need for gluten-free beer is significant. Aaron, who has family members with gluten sensitivities, highlighted the growing demand, saying, “We've gotten a lot of inbound requests from people across the country to ship gluten-free beer to them because there just aren't that many options out there.” With nearly a third of people reporting they try to avoid gluten, Otherwise Brewing is filling a critical gap in the market.What makes their beer stand out isn't just the absence of gluten—it's the taste. “We wanted to make sure that we were doing something unique,” Aaron said. “We developed a way to make gluten-free beer that tastes just like regular beer. Beer is not health food—we drink it for the enjoyment.”This innovative approach, combined with their dedication to building a loyal community in the Bay Area, has positioned Otherwise Brewing for expansion. The company is currently raising capital on SMBX, a regulated crowdfunding platform, to support statewide distribution and marketing efforts. “We want to make a big splash,” Stellar shared.As they prepare to scale, Aaron and Stellar are inviting supporters to invest in their vision of making craft beer more inclusive. Through passion, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability, they are leading the gluten-free beer revolution.If you're interested in supporting their mission, you can learn more about their campaign at SMBX.tl;dr:Today's episode highlights Otherwise Brewing's mission to create delicious, 100% gluten-free craft beer.Co-founders Aaron and Stellar share their journey to develop a sustainable, celiac-safe brewing process.The company is raising capital on SMBX to expand distribution across California and grow its community.Aaron's superpower, curiosity, drives innovation, including the creation of gluten-free beer recipes.Stellar's superpower, community building, fosters inclusivity at the taproom for gluten-free beer lovers.How to Develop Curiosity and Community Building As a SuperpowerAaron's superpower is his relentless curiosity, which drives him to explore new ideas and solve challenging problems. “I've always been a naturally curious person,” Aaron said. “When something piques that curiosity, I want to learn more and figure it out.” This mindset led him to develop Otherwise Brewing's gluten-free beer. He explained, “I wondered if I could make gluten-free beer that tastes good… it was a difficult technical challenge, but we figured it out.”Stellar's superpower is her ability to build inclusive, vibrant communities. “If I had to pick my superpower, I think it's honestly building community,” Stellar shared. She explained how creating a welcoming taproom for people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities has been a core part of the brewery's success. “So many people with gluten issues can't hang out at breweries. We're proud to provide a space where they can enjoy a beer with their friends.”Aaron taught himself web programming to address a business challenge. He wanted better insight into Otherwise Brewing's sales data, but existing systems fell short. Driven by curiosity, he learned to write web hooks to connect inventory systems and create real-time dashboards. This innovation streamlined operations and demonstrated his ability to turn curiosity into actionable solutions.Stellar's community-building skills are best illustrated by the Otherwise Brewing taproom. She takes time to connect personally with customers, remembering names and stories while introducing people to one another. This thoughtful, inclusive approach has fostered a grassroots community of gluten-free beer lovers. “At any given time, you'll see people from all walks of life bonding over our beers,” Stellar said.Tips for Developing Aaron's Superpower:Ask “Why not?” when faced with conventional ideas or approaches.Pursue curiosity with action—learn new skills or experiment to find solutions.Embrace challenges as opportunities to innovate.Tips for Developing Stellar's Superpower:Take time to truly listen to people and remember their stories.Create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome.Focus on building relationships by introducing people with shared interests.By following Aaron's and Stellar's example and advice, you can make curiosity and community building a skill. With practice and effort, you could make these superpowers that enable you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Main Theme: The message continues the study of Joshua chapters 10–11, exploring how God led Israel to fully conquer their enemies. Pastor emphasized that these natural battles symbolize our spiritual warfare—the believer's call to finish battles of faith, destroy sin's influence, and walk in victory through obedience. Opening and Global Prayer The service began with intercession for Christians under persecution in Nigeria and Sudan, highlighting that while Western believers face spiritual battles, others face literal physical danger for their faith. Pastor led prayer for God's mercy, protection, and bold witness among the persecuted church. Israel's Battle and Spiritual Parallels (Joshua 10:16–43) Joshua commanded the army to seal the five kings in the cave at Makkedah, pursue the enemy, and finish the battle. After victory, Joshua had his captains place their feet on the necks of the kings—a prophetic act of dominion. This became a picture of spiritual warfare: “Sometimes we don't finish the battle. We let things live that God told us to destroy.” Believers must pursue sin and temptation until they are “dust under our feet.” Partial obedience leads to future bondage. Lesson: Don't leave sin alive. Whatever is not put to death will eventually come back to destroy. Just as Joshua completed every battle, we must close every spiritual door and cut off access to the enemy. God's Ways and the Danger of Presumption Pastor reminded the congregation that God moves in diverse ways: “Sometimes He fights supernaturally; other times He works through natural means or people—but it's always His hand.” He warned against putting God in a box or expecting Him to act the same way every time, which leads to a Pharisaical mindset. True faith trusts His sovereignty regardless of method. The Severity of Sin Joshua's command to destroy the Canaanite nations often troubles modern readers, but Pastor explained: God owns everything; He is perfectly just in judgment. Israel's destruction of wicked nations demonstrates the seriousness of sin, not cruelty. “We don't see how wicked sin really is… we've redefined it as conditions or sickness instead of rebellion against God.” Sin caused death, chaos, and even required the crucifixion of God's Son to be redeemed. God's judgment isn't biased—He later judged Israel the same way when they turned to idolatry. “He's long-suffering, but He's also holy.” God the Redeemer Pastor used the analogy of the pawn shop and Hosea's marriage: Humanity belonged to God but sold itself to sin. Yet God, though rightful owner, paid again with the blood of Christ to buy us back. “He walked into the spiritual pawn shop and paid for the whole store.” This is the picture of grace: redemption at a cost God didn't owe. Spiritual Warfare and Finishing the Fight (Joshua 11) The northern kings united against Israel, but God reassured Joshua: “Do not be afraid. I will deliver them into your hand.” God again fought for Israel, proving that obedience keeps God's presence active. Joshua's faithfulness to continue Moses' commands showed continuity—obedience to divine instruction brings sustained victory. Application: Romans 6 and the War Within Pastor connected Joshua's battles to Romans 6, explaining how believers must fight sin with the same intensity: “Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid.” Through baptism, we are united with Christ's death and resurrection. Therefore, sin has no dominion over believers: “Even when you fail, your position in Christ overrides your condition.” Victory comes by renewing the mind with the Word, speaking God's truth over ourselves, and closing every door to sin. Believers must “cut off options” that lead back to bondage—relationships, habits, or influences that tempt the flesh. Becoming a Bondservant Paul called himself a bondslave of Christ—one who chooses to stay out of love, not compulsion. Pastor contrasted this with modern Christians who seek convenience: “Christianity isn't weakness—it's surrender. The greatest opportunity isn't success, it's becoming a man or woman of God.” Closing Exhortation God desires full victory for His people—no compromise, no partial obedience. The Christian walk is discipleship as a journey, not a destination. Every battle is an opportunity to grow stronger in faith and obedience. “Cut off what tempts you. Pursue your enemies until they're dust under your feet. You are dead to sin and alive to God. Finish the fight.” Core Message Don't leave sin alive—finish the battle. God's justice reveals the true horror of sin. You are redeemed at great cost—live as one who's been bought back. Renew your mind, close every door to the enemy, and walk in your position in Christ. The greatest victory is not survival—it's surrender.

Hour 3 of JJ & Alex with Jeremiah Jensen and Alex Kirry. CFP Rankings Outlook NFL Blitz: Bill Belichick says he will not pursue any NFL vacancies Best and Worst of the Day
During Ep. 29 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. replies to the following Question 2: I lead a Trusts & Estates Law Firm that has prepared 500+ estate plans. What are my options? Initially, Poock explains that the owner of a Trusts & Estates firm needs to determine what the firm has in terms of: Its sources of revenues and amount of revenues per source (egs. Drafting, Probate/Trust Admin., Real Estate, etc.). The firm's client list, including updated information about names, addresses, e-mail addresses, and cell phone numbers. Importantly, for T&E firms, updating client information should include updating contact information about fiduciaries named in the firm's estate planning documents (egs. Personal Representatives and Trustees). Inventorying the number of estate plans under management, including ideally, determining how many clients have re-published their estate plans with another law firm, moved out of state, or may have already died. Regarding sale options, Poock shares the following 3 options: (a) Sell to or merge with a Growing Law Firm, and preferably, a Growing Law Firm that focuses on T&E or maintains a T&E department (Preferred) (b) Pursue an internal succession plan (Potential) (c) Maintain the Status Quo, i.e., establish no succession plan (Risky) Poock points out that Growing Law Firms offer the preferred option because they want and need the following resources that Senior Attorney-led T&E law firms offer: (1) New clients; (2) An experienced workforce, comprised of both lawyers and para-staff; and (3) Subject Matter Knowledge to convert to Digital Content to attract the attention of new clients who search online today (and tomorrow) for lawyers and law firms to retain. Poock also observes the following trend that jeopardizes a particular, future value of Senior Attorney-led T&E Law Firms: Digital Marketing Disruption in the legal industry means that, despite T&E law firms including a “blue back” page in their estate planning documents that lists the contact information for the law firms that prepared a given estate plan, surviving family members and fiduciaries have begun by-passing those “blue backs” in favor of asking Google or their AI thought partner to suggest the best T&E attorney near them to administer a Will or Trust. If the families of estate planning clients do not return to the original firm that drafted an estate plan to assist with Probate/Trust Administration, the future value of that firm will become jeopardized because of the expectation that surviving loved ones and fiduciaries will seek Probate/Trust administration services from the same firm that prepared a client's estate plan. Poock concludes with offering the following suggestion to T&E law firms that have prepared 500+ estate plans and may (should) have growing concerns that families will not return to their law firms for Probate/Trust Administration of the plans that the firm has drafted: Maintain contact information for clients' named beneficiaries and fiduciaries for the purposes of: (i) Establishing a relationship with the firm that prepared an estate plan; and (ii) Minimizing the risk that beneficiaries and fiduciaries by-pass the firm that prepared a client's estate plan in favor of asking Uncle Google or an AI thought partner to recommend an alternative law firm for Probate/Trust Administration services.

Always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. [NKJV]
Have you ever wondered why people choose to fast? Throughout the Scriptures, we see many of God's people fasting, yet honestly, fasting for the purpose of pursuing God can sometimes be overlooked in our own walk with Jesus.In this week's passage, Jesus shares with us how to fast and offers a profound motivation: the Father Himself promises to reward us! If our fasting is only to gain applause or approval from others, then that's the only reward we'll receive. But when we fast as Jesus teaches, the eternal God sees us and promises to reward us. Ultimately, fasting is about desiring God and His reward more than anything else.
Have you ever wondered what it means to truly live in peace while standing firm in your faith? Pastor Dave delivers a powerful message on the transformative power of being a peacemaker and persevering through persecution. Drawing from the Beatitudes, he reveals how pursuing peace isn't passive—it requires actively choosing reconciliation even when relationships are strained. Through vivid examples and Scripture, Pastor Dave shows that persecution often comes when we take bold stands for righteousness, but this shouldn't discourage us.

Have you ever wondered what it means to truly live in peace while standing firm in your faith? Pastor Dave delivers a powerful message on the transformative power of being a peacemaker and persevering through persecution. Drawing from the Beatitudes, he reveals how pursuing peace isn't passive—it requires actively choosing reconciliation even when relationships are strained. Through vivid examples and Scripture, Pastor Dave shows that persecution often comes when we take bold stands for righteousness, but this shouldn't discourage us. Instead, we're called to "rejoice and be exceedingly glad," knowing our eternal reward far outweighs temporary struggles.

Rob sits down with a powerhouse panel made up of Spears Group's Founder, Jonathan Spears, and its COO, Maria Coukoulis, both of whom are also co-founders of MyOps AI, and Larry Kendall, the author of Ninja Selling, to discuss a pivotal moment in every successful real estate agent's career. Together, this all-star team tackles the critical crossroads agents face: whether to continue as a solo producer or to build a high-performing real estate team. This conversation goes deep into the nuts and bolts of scaling a real estate business from the ground up. The group explores Jonathan's transition from a driven solo agent doing $70 million in volume to the leader of a billion-dollar team, highlighting the operational challenges and mindset shifts required for success. They discuss the common pitfalls of team building, the necessity of creating documented systems and processes, and how a strong, clearly defined culture is the engine for sustainable growth. This episode provides an enlightening and informative case-study on how to turn a real estate practice into a true business, unlocking not just financial success but personal freedom and fulfillment. Episode Highlights: The critical crossroads every agent faces: staying solo versus building a team. Shifting your mindset from running a practice to owning a true business. The power of documented, repeatable systems for driving consistency and success. Why a strong culture - and getting the right people in the right seats - is non-negotiable for growth. Avoiding the "alligator pond" mistake: teaching agents to hunt versus simply feeding them leads. How mastering operations unlocks massive growth, eliminates waste, and creates personal freedom. Unlocking team potential by trusting each member to operate in their area of genius. Leveraging AI and technology to solve operational bottlenecks and give your team their time back. Key Takeaways: "We are not an anomaly… you can have this for yourself. You just have to be consistent with it, and you have to have those processes to carry you." "If you're an agent out there that's worried about an AI, oh my gosh, it's going to steal everything. Get curious instead of fearful." "A good system will work regardless of the market you're in. It's the documented process that will give you predictable results regardless of the market." "True success is when you're able to come alongside people, and out of that collaboration is birthed a greater product than either of you could create on your own." "People do not refer Jonathan Spears… They refer his process." "Build your goals into your calendar. Build your goals into that system and process. That way your daily executions, those daily movements, allow you to move towards them, not away from them."

The Republican Fire: Manet, Gambetta, and the War That Declared a French Republic. Sebastian Smee discusses how Édouard Manet's family wanted him to pursue law or the Navy, but he became a passionate, anti-autocratic Republican inspired by the 1848 uprisings. Manet established himself as an activist painter, creating works protesting Napoleon III's policies. Léon Gambetta became Manet's friend and the leading moderate Republican lawyer. The Franco-Prussian War of 1870 began under Napoleon III, but the French were crushed. When Napoleon III surrendered and went into exile, a Republic was declared in Paris. The victory was bittersweet: Paris was immediately surrounded by Prussian troops, and the entire male population joined the National Guard. However, France was defeated, leading to a humiliating surrender in January 1871. The trauma was reflected subtly in the Impressionists' art.

From Radiologist to Global Health Coach Mentor: Dr. Shaunna Menard on Reinventing Purpose Beyond Medicine In this deeply inspiring episode of Life Beyond Clinical Practice, Dr. Diane Van Staden sits down with Dr. Shaunna Menard — a former radiologist turned international best-selling author, speaker, and founder of the Health Professional Academy. After 25 years in medicine, Dr. Shaunna reached a breaking point — torn between her desire to help others and a system that left her exhausted and unfulfilled. What began as a late-night search for meaning led her on a journey of transformation from “the photographer of disease” to a mentor helping health professionals worldwide build soul-aligned, profitable practices as health coaches. This conversation dives into the emotional, spiritual, and practical realities of leaving a successful medical career, rediscovering purpose, and building a new path with freedom and impact at its core.
In today's episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady responds to a deeply honest email from a young Christian man who left the gay lifestyle and is now wrestling with a difficult question:“If most of my past sexual sin involved homosexual desires, can I still pursue marriage to a woman? And how do I know if I'll ever feel enough attraction?”Brady shares his personal journey through same-sex attraction, surrendering his sexuality to Christ, rejecting identity labels, and discovering a biblical vision of marriage—not as a cure, but as a sacred covenant designed by God.Topics discussed:
The Bible portrays sibling rivalry through stories such as Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers, Isaac and Ishmael, and Leah and Rachel. These accounts reveal how jealousy, pride, and favoritism can breed conflict, deceit, and even violence within families. Rivalry is described in Scripture as a “work of the flesh” that causes chaos, dishonors God, and undermines unity among believers (Galatians 5:19–21; James 3:16).Yet, amid these cautionary tales, the Bible also offers hope. Through examples like the reconciliations of Jacob and Esau and Joseph with his brothers, it emphasizes repentance, forgiveness, and divine restoration. Ultimately, Scripture calls believers to reject rivalry and embrace love, humility, and harmony as “brothers and sisters in Christ.”Causes of Sibling RivalryCompetition for attention: Children may vie for parental love and approval, especially when one receives more care or praise.Developmental differences: Conflicts arise as siblings go through different stages with varying needs and goals.Personality clashes: Differences in temperament or closeness in age can intensify rivalry.Identity and comparison: Constant comparison fosters jealousy as siblings seek to define their worth and uniqueness.Parental favoritism and jealousy: As seen in stories like Cain and Abel or Jacob and Esau, favoritism and envy can lead to resentment, conflict, and sin.Remedies for Sibling RivalryRecognize God's purpose: Like Jacob and Joseph, conflicts can become opportunities for growth and divine reconciliation.Pursue harmony: Scripture teaches that peace among brothers and sisters honors God and strengthens families.Embrace spiritual family: The New Testament calls believers to see one another as “brothers and sisters in Christ,” practicing unity and grace.Honor diversity: Celebrate each child's unique gifts and teach that every person has value and purpose in God's design.Cultivate humility and love: Following Philippians 2:3, treat others as more important than yourself, replacing rivalry with kindness and compassion.

The post Leaving Comfort to Pursue Your Calling appeared first on Point Harbor Church.
In today's conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Shiloh Werkmeister — a psychotherapist, author, and speaker who blends the science of psychology with real-life strategies to help women protect their energy, set unapologetic boundaries, and live with unshakable confidence. Together, we talk about what it really means to protect your peace while pursuing your purpose. From learning when to say “no” without guilt, to recognizing the early signs of burnout, to navigating feedback and expectations as a faith-centered leader, this episode will help you create space for what God's truly called you to carry. Dr. Shiloh also shares wisdom from her powerful book, The Unbothered Button, including what it means to “press” it in everyday life and how to emotionally regulate when boundaries get tested. If you've been feeling stretched thin or spiritually drained, this conversation will remind you: boundaries don't limit your calling, they protect it.

How do we pursue God on His terms?
In Pursue Righteousness and Kindness, Whitney Hopler reflects on Proverbs 21:21 and reveals how righteousness and kindness are designed to work hand in hand in the life of a believer. Too often, we separate the two—valuing truth over grace or compassion over conviction—but Scripture reminds us that real holiness comes from their balance. True righteousness isn’t rigid, and true kindness isn’t weak; together, they mirror the heart of Jesus, who perfectly embodied both truth and love in every word and action. Highlights Proverbs 21:21 connects righteousness and kindness as virtues meant to be pursued together. Righteousness without kindness can lead to self-righteousness and harshness. Kindness without righteousness can turn into people-pleasing and compromise. Jesus modeled perfect balance—He stood firmly for truth while showing compassion to sinners. Pursuing both virtues leads to spiritual growth, deeper relationships, and the fullness of life God promises. Living with both conviction and compassion points others toward God’s truth and love. Join the Conversation Do you find it easier to stand for truth or to lead with kindness? How can you bring more balance between the two in your life this week? Share your reflections and examples of living out Proverbs 21:21. Tag @LifeAudioNetwork and use #PursueRighteousness #LiveKindly #FaithInAction to join the conversation.
Discussion QuestionsSermon Overview Pursue a God-pleasing righteousness from the heart, including in your marriageI. The righteousness God seeks is from the heart (vv. 14-15)II. The kingdom Jesus brings fulfills the law but does not relax righteousness (vv. 16-17)III. God's enduring desire for righteousness is shown in his enduring instruction about marriage (v. 18)Digging Deeper Read Luke 16:14-181. In the sermon, righteousness is “being right, doing right, before God.” The righteousness God is seeking is righteousness from the heart. What's the difference between being righteous just on the outside (like the Pharisees) and being righteous from the heart?2. Have you ever found yourself resisting a teaching in the Bible, only to later realize (or experience a sense of conviction from the Holy Spirit) that it is a truth that was pressing on something you were loving as a rival to God? Please share.3. If you were to be honest, is there an area of your life where you are settling for outward conformity (a merely external righteousness)? What might be a good step toward pursuing change in this area of your life?4. After hearing this sermon, how might you respond to someone who thinks they can live however they want because Jesus counts us as righteous through trust in him?5. Jesus didn't come to make righteousness unnecessary, but rather to make it possible. What does that mean? Do you find this truth encouraging? How so? MARRIAGEIn our culture, the starting point for thinking about marriage is often self-fulfillment: my wants, my needs, my goals. It's easy to miss God's design for marriage, which is a covenant to which we must be faithful, a union that is only broken with great trauma, and a picture of God's love and faithfulness. It is, therefore, not surprising that so many fail to see the grievousness of divorce as God does. 6. How can we speak and act about marriage so that those around us are pointed toward God's good design of marriage?7. This passage urges us to “Pursue a God-pleasing righteousness from the heart, including in (our) marriages.” If you're married, what would this practically look like?8. Given your marital situation and background, what was one takeaway from this sermon God might want you to remember in the days ahead? Prayer
