This week on the Your Golf Performance Podcast, I sit down with lifelong friend and highly respected golf coach Christian Rainey. Christian's journey in golf has taken him from Australia to the United States to compete in college golf, before returning home to work with some of Australia's best young players as a state coach with Golf Australia. Following college, he also spent time caddying at the iconic Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in New York, one of the most famous venues in world golf and host of this week's U.S. Open. In this episode we discuss:

In this episode, we're joined by Antrell Rainey for a powerful conversation on leadership, mentorship, and the life experiences that shape how we lead. Antrell Rainey is an MBA prepared executive leader, clinical professional, and patient advocate with more than 14 years of experience working with high acuity pediatric and substance use populations. His understanding of healthcare operations goes far beyond the classroom—shaped most profoundly by navigating the healthcare system as the parent of a medically fragile child with a severe heart defect. Antrell brings together his clinical background and executive leadership training to help healthcare organizations improve reliability, strengthen operations, and create systems that better support both patients and frontline staff. We will explore what high-reliability care looks like, the lessons leaders can learn from history, and how both challenges and relationships influence meaningful change. Antrell shares practical insight and a mindset shift for anyone working to lead within complex systems.

In the United States today, you can have your bank account closed, your credit cards cancelled, and your online payments revoked for any number of crimes, like funding terrorism, engaging in money laundering, or violating sanctions.Sensible, right? Well, you can also face financial ruin for teaching poetry.That's what seemingly happened to a Persian poetry teacher from Detroit whose accounts were flagged for “sanctions violations” because his students wrote “Persian classes” in their Venmo memos. There's also the story about the naked yoga practitioners who lost their payment processor for 60 days, forced to rebuild a subscriber list from scratch. And we can't forget the San Diego cannabis journalist cut off from Stripe—and from a paid Substack newsletter—because of the payment platform's rules that prohibit the promotion of the sale of cannabis.This is “financial censorship,” and it often happens when a bank, credit card provider, or payment app decides that a customer is too risky to serve. But “risky” doesn't always mean “illegal,” and when a major financial institution errs towards caution about what a customer is saying, advocating for, representing, or publishing, a lot of innocent people can be hurt in the process.That's what the digital rights activist Rainey Reitman learned in writing “Transaction Denied: Big Finance's Power to Punish Speech.” As Reitman explained about these hugely impactful decisions:“Even if they are well-intentioned, the financial systems can end up pulling in a lot of people that are not the actual target… Sometimes we talk about this as dolphins in the fishing lines.”These decisions are difficult to fight, frustratingly opaque, and nearly impossible to reverse. Compounding the problem is that that there aren't enough alternatives available for the financially censored to easily regain their freedom.The reality for hundreds of millions of people in this country is that about a dozen companies control all their finances. People mostly bank with Chase, or Bank of America, or Citigroup, or Wells Fargo. They mostly use credit cards assigned by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Capital One. And they mostly send money to one another and to small businesses using services like PayPal, Venmo, Cash app, and Square.For most people, these companies are supposed to operate in the background of their lives, providing reliable, secure financing to sustain and manage their livelihoods.In reality, these companies can become quite interested in what you say online, what payments you receive each month, and the locations those payments arrived from.Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Reitman—who is also the president and a co-founder of the Freedom of the Press Foundation—about the real stories of those who have been financially censored, why financial companies cut off customers for legal speech, and how a single company's decision can create cascading consequences that feel impossible to fight.“They'd be locked out of Venmo, then they'd be locked out of PayPal—which is connected to Venmo—and then they'd suddenly lose their Chase Bank account. You could see that in a lot of instances, losing one form of access to the financial system, it could result in a pattern where they would be losing access repeatedly.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit Malwarebytes Labs at malwarebytes.com/blog.Show notes and credits:Intro Music: “Spellbound” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro Music: “Good God” by Wowa (unminus.com)Listen up—Malwarebytes doesn't just talk cybersecurity, we provide it.Protect yourself from online attacks that threaten your identity, your files, your system, and your financial well-being with our exclusive offer for Malwarebytes Premium for Lock and Code listeners.

In this message from the Onward series, “Wisdom From the Wilderness”, Pastor Joel explores how seasons of transition and uncertainty can feel like being “stuck in the ice” — unsure how to move forward and tempted to go backward. Drawing from Israel's wilderness journey, he reminds us that God often uses difficult seasons not to punish us, but to teach, shape, and prepare us for what's next. The message challenges both individuals and the church to move forward in faith, trust God's direction, and embrace the future He is preparing. Let's listen in.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Ernest Shackleton• John Kotter book "A Sense of Urgency"• Download the free study guide, complete transcript, and show notes here.• Scripture References: Numbers chapters 13-14; Deuteronomy 8, verses 1-5• Find out more about Covenant Church at ⁠covenantchurchwv.com

Rainey's message centered on the biblical call to forgiveness, respect, and seeing people the way Jesus sees them. Using 1 Samuel 16:7 as her foundation — “People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” — she challenged listeners to rethink how they view difficult people, enemies, and those who have caused pain. She began with a story about her son being stung by a jellyfish at the beach. Even after being hurt, he was willing to go back into the ocean once the warning flag was removed. Rainey used this image to illustrate an important spiritual truth: believers are called to remain humble enough to “look again” at people and situations, even after experiencing hurt. She connected this to the word “respect,” explaining its roots mean “to look again.” Respect, therefore, is not merely politeness, but the willingness to believe someone's story or future may be more than we first assumed. Throughout the message, Rainey emphasized that Jesus modeled this perfectly. While others saw Zacchaeus as a corrupt traitor or the woman at the well as immoral and shameful, Jesus saw dignity, value, and possibility. His compassion and willingness to engage people respectfully became transformational. Rainey pointed out that for the woman at the well, “the respect was the miracle.” Jesus did not simply tolerate people — He restored them through compassion. The core of the message focused on forgiveness. Rainey argued that modern Christianity often reduces faith to “going to heaven,” while the New Testament emphasizes becoming transformed into people who love enemies, forgive deeply, and reflect the character of Christ. She explained that forgiveness is not optional for Christians because forgiveness is part of the culture of God's kingdom. She carefully addressed several “falsehoods” about forgiveness. First, she challenged the idea that unforgiveness is simply “protecting your peace.” While boundaries are sometimes necessary, bitterness disguised as self-care is still bitterness. Jesus Himself did not “protect His peace” when He entered human suffering, served difficult people, and continued loving others despite pain. Second, Rainey clarified that forgiveness does not mean remaining in abusive situations. Jesus taught confrontation, accountability, and involving community when someone is harmful. Forgiveness does not excuse evil or deny wounds, but it does refuse hatred and keeps the heart open to the possibility of healing and reconciliation. Another major point was that Christians forgive because they themselves have been forgiven. Using Jesus' parable of the unforgiving servant, she explained that believers cannot receive God's mercy while refusing to extend mercy to others. Forgiveness is evidence of belonging to God's kingdom and becoming like Christ. Rainey also stressed that forgiveness is often an act of obedience before it becomes a feeling. Like Ananias reluctantly welcoming Saul, believers sometimes must “do as they are told” even when emotions lag behind. Christian maturity means choosing love and mercy even when it feels unnatural. She concluded by reminding listeners that forgiveness does not minimize suffering. God fully sees injustice and pain. Yet unforgiveness ultimately poisons the heart and prevents spiritual transformation. Followers of Jesus are called to participate in the life of heaven now by becoming people marked by mercy, humility, and hope. Rainey challenged the church to become a place where respect and forgiveness are normal, and where even small acts of compassion might become miracles in someone's life. Discussion Questions Who in your life do you struggle to “look at again” with dignity or hope? What is the difference between healthy boundaries and unforgiveness? Why do you think forgiveness is so difficult, even for Christians? How does remembering God's forgiveness toward you affect your ability to forgive others? Are there relationships in your life where God may be calling you to take a step toward reconciliation? What does it practically look like to “love your enemies” in everyday life? Rainey said, “Respect was the miracle.” When has someone's compassion or respect changed your life?

In this message, Pastor Joel Rainey challenges us to let go of the comfort of the familiar and trust God with the future He is calling us into. Looking at Israel's journey through the Red Sea in Exodus 14, reminds us that real freedom requires courage, faith, and a willingness to move forward instead of looking back. Whether in our personal lives or as a church, God often calls us beyond what feels safe so we can fully experience His purpose and power.

Hallowed Be Your Name Learning to Pray with Wonder, Confidence, and Peace Jesus does something deeply intentional in the Lord's Prayer. Before He teaches His followers to ask God for anything, He teaches them to remember who God is. Prayer is not meant to begin with panic, requests, or anxiety—it begins with worship. Coleton explains that when Jesus says, “Hallowed be Your name,” He is teaching us to fill our minds and hearts with the greatness, faithfulness, and power of God before we ever bring Him our needs. This message is an invitation to become people who truly pray—not mechanically, not cautiously, but with boldness, awe, confidence, and trust. “Our Father in Heaven” — Remember Who You're Talking To Matthew 6:9–13 “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name…'” Coleton begins by reminding the church why this prayer series matters so much to him personally. About ten years ago, he began pursuing a deeper prayer life because he wanted prayer to become more than a religious duty—he wanted to love it. During that journey, one quote changed the way he viewed prayer forever. Quote “Satan dreads nothing but prayer. His one concern is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” — Samuel Chadwick That quote helped Coleton realize why prayer often feels difficult. The enemy is not intimidated by human strength, intelligence, or activity. He trembles at the power of God accessed through prayer. Prayer matters because God moves through it. Last week's focus in the series was the phrase “Our Father in heaven.” Jesus first teaches us that prayer begins by remembering who we are talking to: not a distant force, but a loving Father who welcomes His children. Now Jesus takes us one step further. “Hallowed Be Your Name” — Prayer Begins with Worship Coleton explains that “hallowed” means to treat God's name as holy, weighty, glorious, and worthy of worship. Quote “‘Hallowed be your name' means ‘let [your name] be regarded as holy.' It is not so much a petition as an act of worship; the speaker, by his words, exalts the holiness of God.” — Tremper Longman III Quote “Hallowing is an active kind of praying—honoring, adoring, and naming the greatness of God. While ‘Our Father' is a reminder of God's intimacy; ‘hallowed' is a reminder of His incomprehensible greatness.” — Tyler Staton Coleton explains that hallowing God's name looks like: Saying what is true about God Remembering what He has done Repeating what He has promised Declaring what is possible with Him This kind of prayer fills the heart with worship before requests are ever made. The Psalms Show Us What Hallowing Looks Like Psalm 44 — Remembering God's Power Scripture “With your hand you drove out the nations and planted our ancestors… it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face…” — Psalm 44:2–3 The psalmist spends enormous time recounting God's past faithfulness. He talks about victories God gave, enemies God defeated, and promises God fulfilled. Coleton points out something fascinating: much of this prayer is telling God things He already knows. Why? Not because God needs reminding—but because we do. We forget who He is. We forget what He has done. We forget His power, His promises, and His faithfulness. Hallowing God's name recenters the soul. 1. Hallowing His Name Expands Our Vision of What Is Possible One of the main effects of worshipful prayer is that it stretches our faith. Quote “The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something and enter into God's realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible.” — Corrie ten Boom Coleton says many Christians pray extremely safe prayers: “Keep them safe.” “Help them have a good day.” “Bless this meal.” Those prayers are not wrong—but if we truly believe we are speaking to the God of the impossible, why do we so rarely ask Him for impossible things? Hallowing His name enlarges our imagination for what God can do. Hezekiah's Prayer — Worship Before Deliverance Scripture 2 Kings 19:14–19 King Hezekiah is surrounded by an enormous Assyrian army. Humanly speaking, defeat seems certain. But notice how he prays: “Lord, the God of Israel… you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth…” Before asking for rescue, Hezekiah hallows God's name. He reminds himself that Assyria may be powerful, but God rules every kingdom on earth. Only after worship does he ask for deliverance. Coleton explains that worship gave Hezekiah courage to pray boldly in an impossible situation. The Apostles in Acts 4 — Worship Produces Boldness Scripture Acts 4:24–30 After Peter and John are arrested and threatened, the disciples gather to pray. What is shocking is what they don't pray for. They do not pray for safety. They do not pray for persecution to stop. Instead they pray: “Enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders…” Why? Because they began by hallowing God's name. They remembered that God is sovereign, powerful, and able to use evil for good. Worship gave them courage. Even Jesus Prayed This Way Scripture Mark 14:36 “Abba, Father… everything is possible for you.” In Gethsemane, Jesus Himself begins by declaring what is true about the Father: everything is possible for Him. Coleton emphasizes that hallowing God's name even led Jesus to pray honestly and boldly. Hallowing Changes the Way We Pray Coleton gives vivid examples of what this can look like in everyday life. Instead of praying weak, hopeless prayers, we pray with remembrance: “You are the God who split the Red Sea—make a way for me.” “You heard Hannah's prayer after years of waiting—hear mine too.” “You turned Saul into Paul—change this person's heart.” “You used evil for Joseph's good—redeem this painful situation.” Hallowing God's name teaches us to pray according to God's character and history. Asking Big Things Honors God Quote “Our God is so good, gracious, and powerful that we can never ask or assume too much of him. We don't offend Him with large requests; we offend Him with small ones!” — J.D. Greear Coleton shares the story of Alexander the Great generously granting a soldier's extravagant request because the request honored both his wealth and generosity. In the same way, bold prayer honors God because it assumes He is both powerful and good. 2. Hallowing His Name Produces Peace, Rest, and Confidence Hallowing God's name does not only increase boldness—it also calms fear. Psalm 46 — Worship Leads to Fearlessness Scripture “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1 Then comes the result: “Therefore we will not fear…” — Psalm 46:2 The psalmist's peace flows from remembering who God is. Coleton explains that worship anchors the soul in unstable moments. Psalm 23 — David's Confidence Came from God's Character Scripture “The Lord is my shepherd…” Outcome: “I lack nothing.” Scripture “You are with me…” Outcome: “I will fear no evil.” David's peace was connected to his remembrance of God's presence and care. Coleton and Rainey's Story of Fear and Faith Coleton shares a deeply personal moment when someone falsely accused him and tried to get him fired. Sitting in the car devastated, he and Rainey began hallowing God's name together. They remembered: God sustaining their long-distance relationship God healing their relationship during difficult seasons God opening ministry doors unexpectedly God never once failing them As they remembered God's faithfulness, peace slowly replaced fear. Their conclusion became: “If God has been faithful before, He will be faithful again.” And God ultimately took care of them. Hallowing God's Name in Real Life Coleton gives practical examples of how worship reshapes fear: When Facing Enemies God used Saul's attacks to prepare David for kingship. No enemy can stop God's plan. When Struggling with Sin God promises grace greater than our failures. Scripture “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” When Worried About Provision Jesus said the Father cares for birds and flowers—and values His children far more. When Life Feels Chaotic God still reigns over nations and history. When Facing Death Jesus transformed death from ultimate loss into the doorway to eternal life. Hallowing His name teaches believers to trust God in every circumstance. Jesus Prepares Us Before We Ask Coleton points out something powerful in the Lord's Prayer: Jesus has not told us to ask for anything yet. Before requests come: We remember He is Father. We remember He is holy. We remember His power. We remember His faithfulness. Only then are we prepared to pray boldly and trustingly. Practical Ways to Practice Hallowing His Name 1. Begin Prayer with Worship Coleton encourages using worship music to shape the heart before praying. Songs mentioned: “Good Plans” — Red Rocks Worship “Same God” — Elevation Worship “Won't Stop Now” — Elevation Worship “Do It Again” — Elevation Worship “I Believe” — Charity Gayle “The Truth” — Megan Woods “Don't Fight Alone” — Jon Reddick 2. Remember God's Promises in Scripture The Bible teaches us what God has done before so we can trust what He will do again. Coleton emphasizes that Scripture fuels confident prayer. 3. Remember God's Faithfulness in Your Own Life Reflect on: Ways God provided Times He protected Seasons He healed Moments He restored Remembering past faithfulness strengthens present trust. 4. Practice Gratitude Coleton references One Thousand Gifts and how gratitude journals helped cultivate trust in God's faithfulness. The more we notice God's goodness, the easier it becomes to trust Him for impossible things. Closing Challenge Quote “Powerful prayer begins with adoration.” — Tyler Staton The heart of this sermon is simple but transformative: Jesus wants His people to pray with power. And powerful prayer begins by hallowing the name of God—remembering who He is, what He has done, and what is still possible with Him. Discipleship Group Questions Why do you think Jesus teaches us to worship before asking for things in prayer? How could that reshape your prayer life? What are some “safe prayers” you tend to pray? What impossible or faith-filled prayers might God be inviting you to begin praying? Which story or example from this sermon encouraged you the most personally, and why? Where have you seen God's faithfulness in your own past? How can remembering those moments strengthen your trust in your current season? What practical step can you take this week to begin “hallowing His name” more intentionally in prayer? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus Christianity is not about pretending to be strong—it's about discovering that there is a God so loving, powerful, and faithful that you can bring Him your impossible situations and your deepest fears. Jesus teaches us that prayer is not talking into the dark, but speaking to a Father who hears, cares, and still changes lives today.

Transitions are a part of every season of life—and even good transitions often begin with loss. In Joshua 1, verses 1–9, God speaks to Joshua and reminds His people that while one season may be ending, God's purpose is still moving forward.Some of life's hardest changes are not detours or distractions, but a divine strategy God uses to move us toward the next level of growth, faith, and purpose. God never ends a season for His people without beginning something new and meaningful ahead.This message explores how God prepares us to move faithfully through seasons of change by developing three important dispositions:Versatility — adapting when God shifts our seasonTrust — believing God is faithful even when the future feels uncertainCourage — stepping forward confidently because God goes with usNo matter what season you may be leaving behind, God is still present, purposeful, and leading you onward.

All sin separates us from God. Some sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, gluttony—can destroy us. Today we're going to conclude by talking about living in the power of virtue. We want to avoid the assumption that the answer to vice is simply to exhibit virtue… to “just be good.” Living in victory over your brokenness does not come from a better you, it comes from a new you who is transformed by Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Three commitments to help us learn how to live in that power are found in the book of Colossians: live in your new identity, put vice to death, and be faithful in renewal.

This Easter message centers on the global and transformative significance of the resurrection of Jesus, emphasizing that Christianity is not built merely on moral teachings but on a historical event that defines everything—if the resurrection is not true, then faith, preaching, truth, and hope are all meaningless; but if it is true, it changes everything for every person. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 15, the message underscores that the resurrection validates Jesus' identity, secures forgiveness of sins, guarantees eternal life, and establishes Christ's present and future reign. It challenges listeners to wrestle honestly with the reality of the resurrection, recognize its life-altering implications, and respond personally—either by surrendering to Christ or rejecting Him—while encouraging believers to live with unwavering faith, purpose, and confidence, knowing their lives and labor are not in vain because Jesus is alive!

On this 40th anniversary of Covenant Church, this message highlights the importance of recognizing that where we are today is the result of the faithfulness of those who came before us—people who said “yes” to God, stepped out in faith, and built a foundation for future generations. As we reflect on its past and looks toward an uncertain future, it emphasizes unchanging truths that anchor believers in every season: God is faithful, humanity is imperfect, and the mission of the church remains the same—to faithfully live out the gospel in a changing world. Rather than clinging only to the past or focusing solely on what's ahead, believers are called to hold both in tension, learning from past faithfulness while stepping forward in obedience today. Ultimately, it is a call for this generation to trust God, engage the world around them, and live faithfully so that those who come after will be able to stand on their legacy and continue the work.
