What if your faith could bring hope to some of the hardest places in the world? In this episode of the Pathway Podcast, we sit down with Elio Constantine from Heart for Lebanon to hear powerful stories of transformation, resilience, and God's work in the Middle East. Lebanon is often in the headlines for war, political unrest, and economic collapse. But behind the news is another story. It's a story of discipleship, hope, and the Gospel changing lives. Elio shares how Heart for Lebanon is reaching people in desperate need, restoring dignity, and raising up leaders who are making a difference in their communities. If you've ever wondered how your faith can impact the world beyond your neighborhood, this conversation will inspire you. You'll discover that God is at work in places many would call hopeless, and that you can be part of the story.

Send us a textThe IAFF Center of Excellence stands as a sanctuary for firefighters navigating the complex terrain of mental health challenges. In this revealing conversation with Hannah Elmore, Clinical Outreach Coordinator, we explore how this specialized treatment facility has become a lifeline for nearly 4,000 firefighters across North America.Hannah takes us behind the scenes of this unique 15-acre campus in Maryland, explaining how every aspect—from the station house-style sleeping quarters to the communal kitchen tables—was designed with firefighters in mind. "The IAFF's fingerprints are all over everything we do," she explains, highlighting the unparalleled cultural competency that makes the Center so effective.What struck me most was the Center's commitment to treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis. While many assume PTSD is the primary concern for firefighters, Hannah reveals they address everything from depression and anxiety to substance use disorders and what she calls "administrative betrayal"—that profound sense of being let down by leadership that can be more devastating than emergency calls. The facility's dual licensure for both mental health and substance use treatment ensures comprehensive care without arbitrary distinctions.Perhaps most powerful was our discussion about the fire pit—that simple gathering place where many firefighters experience their deepest healing through connection with peers from across the country. These relationships often continue long after discharge, creating a nationwide network of behavioral health champions who support each other and bring resources back to their departments.The message Hannah wants every firefighter to hear? "You don't have to wait until you reach crisis before reaching out for help." Whether you're struggling with job-related trauma, family stress, or simply feeling that disconnect between your feet and your mind, the Center offers a path forward with culturally competent care that understands the unique challenges of the fire service.Ready to learn more or connect with resources? Reach Hannah directly at 727-506-9036 or contact the 24/7 admissions team at 855-441-3024.

Episode Summary:Welcome back to Construct Your Life! Today, I'm reminding you that you are never truly alone in whatever you're going through. Life can feel overwhelming, and it's easy to believe that nobody understands or cares. But the truth is, most people are carrying heavy burdens — whether it's addiction, heartbreak, financial struggles, or health issues. Opening up to someone, whether a friend, family member, or therapist, can provide perspective and relief. You don't have to face your pain in isolation — connection and honesty are powerful tools for healing. If you're struggling, reach out — you're not alone, and help is closer than you think.Key Highlights: - You Are Not Alone: No matter what you're facing — addiction, breakup, financial hardship — others have been there before and are navigating the same storm.- The Power of Asking for Help: Opening up to someone can not only lighten your load but also inspire others to share their struggles.- Invisible Burdens: People carry silent pain — from mental health issues to personal crises — and often mask it behind a brave face.- The Importance of Compassion: Judging others without knowing their story damages connection. We have no idea what people are battling behind closed doors.- Reach Out and Connect: Whether you need a friend, a therapist, or just someone to listen, taking the first step can change everything.- Your Mental Health Matters: You don't have to be strong alone; vulnerability and honesty are signs of true strength.Final Tips:If you're feeling isolated or overwhelmed, remember: you don't have to handle everything alone. Reach out to a trusted friend, professional, or support group. Sharing your story can be a catalyst for healing — and it might just save your life. Keep in mind, most people are fighting battles you can't see, and connection is the antidote.If this message resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it and keep building your best life!

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2019 conversation with Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson. ABOUT VALERIE SIMPSONSix-time Grammy nominee Valerie Simpson is best known as one half of the songwriting, production and performing duo of Ashford and Simpson, which she formed with musical partner and eventual husband Nick Ashford after they met at a church in Harlem, New York, in the early 1960s.  After early successes with Aretha Franklin's recording of “Cry Like a Baby” and Ray Charles' recordings of “Let's Go Get Stoned” and “I Don't Need No Doctor,” Nick and Valerie signed with Motown Records, first as songwriters, where their early successes included the hit singles “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” and “Your Precious Love,” recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. They soon began both writing and producing for the duo, with hits such as “Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing,” “You're All I Need to Get By,” “Good Lovin' Ain't Easy to Come By,” and “What You Gave Me.” Additional writing and production credits at Motown came with hits by The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Miracles, Gladys Knight, and Diana Ross, who found success with “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)” “Remember Me,” “Surrender,” and a remake of “Ain't No Mountain High Enough” that topped both the pop and R&B charts.   In addition to writing #1 hits such as Quincy Jones's “Stuff Like That” and Chaka Khan's “I'm Every Woman” after their Motown period, Ashford and Simpson began releasing their own recordings as a duo, landing nearly 40 songs on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Their list of Top 10 hits as artists, includes “It Seems to Hang On,” “Found a Cure,” “Love Don't Make it Right,” “Street Corner,” “Outta the World,” “Count Your Blessings,” “I'll Be There For You,” and “Solid.”   Ashford and Simpson were the recipients of the ASCAP Founder's Award, which is the highest honor bestowed by the organization. They were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, named among Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, and provided the inspiration for the establishment of the Soul Train Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award. Following Nick's untimely death in 2011, Valerie has continued to write, record, and even appear on Broadway in the acclaimed musical Chicago.

Episode Summary In this powerful conversation, I sat down with Candace Pendleton, a dynamic force in commodities trading and a passionate advocate for financial empowerment—especially for women. We tackled the persistent underrepresentation of women in leadership roles and financial markets, particularly the trading sector. Candace shared her deeply personal mission: helping women break into commodities trading as a path to wealth-building and independence. We explored critical elements of successful trading—pattern recognition, emotional intelligence, and the role of technology—along with the mindset required to win in a traditionally male-dominated field. From discussing the psychology behind trading to reflecting on real-world leadership examples (including Mary Barra's journey at GM), this episode dives into the real skills that make a difference—not only in trading but in life and leadership. Key Takeaways & Next Steps ✅ Candace's 90-Day Trading System: She's developed a results-driven program where students must achieve 70% accuracy before going live—showcasing the power of discipline and data-backed strategy. ✅ Financial Empowerment for Women: Candace continues to make commodities trading accessible to women, demystifying the field and challenging gender norms. ✅ Robo Trading & AI: With her custom robo trader and Quantum AI exploration, Candace is innovating how people approach futures trading—making it smarter and more intuitive. ✅ Michael's Commitment: I'll be diving deeper into commodities markets, exploring how pattern recognition and strategic discipline apply to investing—and sharing those insights with the Breakfast Leadership community. ✅ Reach Out & Learn More: Want to connect with Candace or explore trading for yourself?

“How are you?” Simple question, right?  If you lead a nonprofit organization, a ministry, or work inside one, this probably feels like a loaded question. A trap, if you will.  What we all know, but what so few are willing to admit, is that burnout is at an all-time high in our sector. As Nathan LaGrange, Executive Director at Oasis Rest International says, leaders don't set out in their careers to flame out. No one wants to burn out, to harm their most precious relationships, or end up on the brink personal and professional failure. But it happens. https://youtube.com/shorts/ksKb5a8B_GI?feature=share In […] Chapters (00:00:00) - Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast: Rest and Recover(00:01:19) - Andrew McMillan on Planting His Soul(00:07:38) - Oasis Rest: A Place for Leaders to Talk(00:09:06) - Burnout in the Church(00:13:47) - The importance of caring for the leader(00:19:34) - A Sacred Controversy About Service Profit Chain(00:25:26) - How to Reset the Relationship Between CEO and Donor Development(00:29:13) - How Do You Retreat Away From Responsibilities?(00:32:57) - How to Encourage Your Pastor(00:35:54) - The Retreat Safety(00:38:04) - Life, Love, Liberty and Legacy(00:41:47) - Oasis of Rest(00:45:50) - How to Slow Down in Leadership(00:50:34) - Oasis REST: Slow Down(00:51:23) - How to Reach Out to Nonprofit Leaders(00:52:32) - The Rainmaker Fundraising Podcast

In this episode, the host republished an interview with guest Robbie Holz to highlight an important discussion about the secrets of Aboriginal healing. Robbie delves into her late husband Gary's transformative journey into the Australian Outback, where he sought healing from multiple sclerosis through Aboriginal spiritual practices. She shares how the Aboriginal philosophy intertwines the body, mind, and spirit for holistic healing. Robbie also recounts her own healing experiences and the profound lessons learned from the Aboriginal people she met. Together, they explore emotional and spiritual alignment, highlighting the significance of letting go of negative emotions and embracing higher frequencies of love. The episode also touches on the role of guardian angels, the power of willingness, and the importance of self-love in one's healing journey. About Robbie: Robbie Holz is an internationally respected healer and medium, frequent media guest and an author of the award-winning books read in 43 countries: "Secrets of Aboriginal Healing" and "Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening." Robbie's life was drastically altered in 1985. After a difficult 36-hour delivery, while giving birth to her child, Robbie was given a blood transfusion to "perk her up faster".  Unfortunately the transfusion was tainted with Hepatitis C, a disease often referred to as the silent killer. Like a Trojan horse, the virus hid in her body--until it confidently and openly declared war seven years later. Robbie was in for the fight, and spiritual awakening, of her life. Due to her reaction to the experimental Hepatitis treatment, Robbie developed fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, temporary brain damage, and became bedridden for 7 months. Since Western medicine was no longer able to help her, Robbie set out to find alternative ways to survive and recover. She ultimately healed herself of Hepatitis C, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and treatment-induced temporary brain damage, described in her award-winning memoir Aboriginal Secrets of Awakening. Her latest book is "Angels in Waiting: How to Reach Out to Your Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides." The companion guidebook is "Vibrant Living: Braving the Pandemic with Help from Your Guardian Angel."

In this inspiring episode, host Jed Doherty explores two powerful approaches to child development through reading and connection. First, Michal Berg, CEO of Spirituality for Kids (SFK), shares her heartwarming children's book "LB: Discovering the Inner Light". Berg explains how the book helps children understand their inherent worth and inner potential. She emphasizes that every child has an "inner light" - a core of wisdom, goodness, and resilience that never dims, even when life feels challenging. Berg's approach goes beyond traditional emotional learning, focusing on spiritual intelligence. She encourages parents to ask open-ended questions, validate their children's feelings, and help them understand that emotions are temporary, but their inner essence remains constant. Her organization, SFK, provides curriculum and resources to help children develop self-awareness and emotional resilience. The episode then shifts to Dr. Michelle Schiffman from Reach Out and Read, who discusses the critical importance of early literacy. With alarming statistics showing that only 40% of fourth and eighth graders read at basic levels, her organization is working to change this trajectory by providing books during pediatric wellness visits. Dr. Schiffman highlights the multifaceted benefits of reading physical books with children. Beyond vocabulary development, reading together builds brain connections, enhances fine motor skills, and creates profound emotional bonds between caregivers and children. Both guests share a common message: reading is about much more than words on a page. It's a powerful tool for connection, self-discovery, and personal growth. Key takeaways include: Every child has an inherent inner light Reading together builds crucial developmental skills Physical books offer unique sensory experiences Parents can support children's emotional and intellectual growth through intentional reading Listeners are encouraged to explore resources like SFK.org and ReachOutAndRead.org to support their children's development.

You're showing up. You're publishing every week. So why does it still feel like no one's listening?That's the question Conrad—documentary filmmaker and host of The First Responder Wellness Podcast—was asking when he came to me for help. He's nearly 80 episodes in and reaching first responders across the country… but getting no reviews, no shares, and not enough listener engagement to know if the podcast is actually helping anyone.In this Fix My Pod coaching session, we dig into why this happens and the exact shifts you can make to turn passive listeners into people who reach out, leave reviews without being asked, and start sharing your episodes in group chats saying, “You have to hear this!”So if your show feels more like a weekly conversation with the four walls in your studio rather than a tool for connection and growth with real listeners, this episode will show you how to fix it. Hit play and let's dive in.Want more help creating a podcast that gets attention—and gets results?  Apply for on-air coaching here (spots are limited).4:56 – 80 Episodes In and Still No Listener Engagement?
