Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie brings us some good insight from the book of Acts that’ll help us encourage one another in the faith, and reach our world in our time with the love of Christ. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

Have you ever felt threatened and vulnerable, desperate to feel safe?In our Psalms 59-67 Bible study, we open with a Psalm David wrote while men were literally waiting outside his house to kill him. As we travel through the other psalms, David moves from total exhaustion, fear, and desert dry spells into an unquenchable thirst for God's presence. If you've ever felt trapped, targeted by cruel words, or completely isolated at the "ends of the earth," David's prayers will hit you right where you are. But this nine-psalm journey doesn't end in survival mode. As the danger passes, the tone shifts to wild praise, staggering abundance, and a blessing meant to ripple across time and space.In our Psalms 59-67 Bible study, we cover:[4:01] Psalm 59: Escaping the Hitmen – How David survives being trapped in his own home while Saul's men wait outside to kill him, and why his immediate reaction is to run to God as his fortress.[9:34] Psalm 60-61: Reaching the "Ends of the Earth" – What it really means for David to cry out from the edge of exhaustion and exile, and how we can find personal refuge when God feels miles away.[13:00] Psalm 62: The Power of Akh (God Alone) – Why David repeatedly uses one specific word to remind himself that true safety and salvation rest in Christ alone, not in human effort.[16:41] Psalm 63: Thirsting in the Desert – How David's physical thirst in the dry wilderness unlocked a deeper spiritual longing and how Jesus quenches that same soul-dryness with living water.[20:19] Psalm 64: Surviving Cruel Words – How to handle modern-day "tongues like swords" and malicious public attacks when people try to bring you down.[28:06] Psalms 65-67: Shining God's Light, Not Ours – The Aaronic blessing gets flipped on its head, reminding us we pray for God's favor, not for our own comfort, so the entire world can see His goodness.Psalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Prayer ListPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPhil Wickham - Psalm 8 (Hallé) [Official Music Video]ACTS Prayer GuideGroup Discussion Questions for Psalms 59-67[5:24] In Psalm 59, David can't do anything but run and rely on God to be his fortress. Where in your life do you find yourself on the run, unfairly attacked, or trapped? How could you lean more on God to be your fortress and protector?[16:47] David thirsts for God, and his whole being longs to know God, see God, and be in the presence of God. Have you ever felt such a deep longing for God? What prayer could you offer asking God to help you thirst for Him the way David did?[28:44] Psalm 67 asks God to make His face shine on us so that all nations will know His ways and salvation. This is still the purpose of God's favor in our lives today. In all we do, whether in suffering or in prosperity, we should reflect God's glory so others can see the hope of Christ in us.

This week's adventure took me up the historic Merryman Trail on Mount Douglas, one of the mountain's oldest and steepest routes, where every step was a reminder of the early settlers and the Indigenous people who called this place home long before them. The relentless climb quickly turned into a power hike, with heart rate soaring, fallen trees to navigate, and just enough pauses to appreciate the forest and swap a few words with fellow hikers. I reflected on old races, trail history, and how these days I'm just as happy sharing personal thoughts as I am chasing miles, even if the audience is a little smaller. Reaching the summit was hard-earned, but the reward was fresh views, a few photographs, and the satisfaction of conquering one of Mount Doug's toughest ascents. From there, it was all smiles and an easy downhill cruise on Churchill Drive, another memorable Jackal adventure safely in the books.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-running-jackal--500980/support.

Federal agencies lease office and program space through contracts that can run four to ten years, and a bidder does not need to own or manage any property to win one. Eric Coffie coaches a live caller through the exact structure: partner with a commercial real estate broker to source the building, then bid the government a marked-up lease rate and keep the difference as your fee. What you'll learn in this episode: - Why a federal building lease contract does not require you to own or manage property - The difference between a residential broker and a commercial real estate broker, and why it matters for this bid type - How a markup on the lease rate becomes your profit on the deal - Why calling the contracting officer directly can save you from bidding on a recompete that never leaves its current building - The one form most solicitations require to prove you have a relationship with the building owner before you submit Chapters: 0:00 - Why finding contracts beats winning them 0:48 - Caller question, bidding armed forces career center leases 1:37 - Partnering with a commercial real estate broker 3:02 - Where your fee actually comes from 5:04 - Confirming the relationship with the building owner 6:51 - Why action beats research paralysis 7:02 - Reaching out to the contracting officer first 9:02 - Closing, Federal Help Center community Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Working hard, but still not promoted? Getting to your next level is not a reward for performance; it comes down to three shifts, a next-level mindset, a next-level skill set beyond your technical skills, and a next-level opportunity you can identify or create. You are paid for output. The next level pays for outcomes. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What actually gets you promoted to the next level? Advancing to your next level of leadership is not a reward for performance; performance is the minimum expectation for the job you already hold. Reaching the next title depends on three shifts. The first is a next-level mindset, thinking and deciding from the person you need to become rather than the person you are today. The second is a next-level skill set, the non-technical skills like articulating your value and solving bigger problems that matter more the higher you rise. The third is a next-level opportunity, which is sometimes internal, sometimes external, and most often created by your own visionary thinking. Key Concepts Next-Level Mindset: Thinking and deciding from the person you need to become, not from the person you are today. Next-Level Skill Set: The non-technical skills, such as articulating your value and solving bigger problems, that decide advancement once strong performance is already a given. Next-Level Opportunity: The role or platform, often self-created through visionary thinking, where your skills are finally valued at their true level. Performance as the Minimum Expectation: Doing your job well is the baseline that keeps you where you are, not the lever that moves you up. Which of the three shifts, mindset, skills, or opportunity, is the one holding you back from your next title right now?   Show notes and free resources: https://CareerRevisionist.com/episode253 Do you want to move up in executive leadership?

In this episode of The CEP Mindset Show, Cassidy, Nick, and Adam share what happens to your mindset when you actually get everything you worked for. The episode covers why the underdog mentality disappears the moment you reach the top, the inside versus outside the herd framework, and why "I have the lead" is some of the most dangerous language in sport.

What if the safest career path in an era of rapid AI disruption is actually doing something entrepreneurial or mission-driven? In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer is joined by Arun Gupta, CEO of NobleReach Foundation and author of The Mission Generation: Reclaim Your Purpose, Rewrite Success, Rebuild Our Future. Drawing from his background as a venture capitalist, Georgetown and Stanford instructor, and public service advocate, Arun breaks down why traditional stability is becoming the new risk and how emerging generations—and professionals at all career stages—can align personal ambition with civic purpose. They discuss why fewer than 7% of government tech workers are under the age of 30, how to modernize public service pathways beyond outdated hiring portals, and why AI will elevate human-centric strengths like curiosity, judgment, and cross-domain experience. Arun also introduces a framework for rethinking individual net worth around five "hidden capitals"—trust, learning, experiential, mission, and health capital—that compound over a 60-year career horizon. KEY INSIGHTS: Stability as the New Risk: Relying strictly on traditional prestige markers (where you work) over purpose markers (the problems you solve) leaves professionals vulnerable to rapid technological and economic shifts. The Five Hidden Capitals: Career value extends far beyond financial metrics, compounding over time through trust, curiosity, diverse experience, mission impact, and sustained health. Public Service as a Career Accelerator: Short-term civic stints should be framed as resume-enhancing accelerators rather than lifetime commitments, making public service more accessible for tech and business talent. Inverting the Risk Equation: A venture capital mindset shifts the focus from "what if it goes wrong?" to "what if it goes right?"—encouraging transformative, mission-oriented bets over incremental safety. From Independence to Interdependence: Solving large-scale modern challenges requires building cross-sector pathways between public, private, and social institutions.

In this episode, we sit down with Lauren Schulte Wang, founder and CEO of The Flex Co., the brand behind the menstrual disc that has sold over 185 million units, holds 88% market share in its category, and is now carried in over 30,000 retail locations including Target, Walmart, and CVS. Lauren built Flex from scratch in 2016, creating an entirely new product category with zero search volume and a consumer behavior change challenge that she describes as one of the hardest jobs a marketer can have. She opens up about how obsessive customer listening shaped their entire go-to-market strategy, what it took to fight platform by platform to earn the right to advertise a period product on social media, why word of mouth is still their strongest acquisition channel after nearly ten years, and how reaching profitability in year seven gave Flex the agency to put customers above all else. Key Takeaways:// Changing human behavior is the hardest job in marketing. Flex isn't asking someone to switch brands, they're asking them to rethink something deeply personal. That challenge shaped every part of how they educate, nurture, and retain customers.// Retail shelf space is a billboard. Their target customer is in that aisle every single month. Lauren's strategy: build awareness through influencers and streaming TV, then let the shelf close the deal.// Word of mouth is still their number one acquisition channel, after ten years. Building a product people feel compelled to tell their friends about is not a soft metric. It is a growth strategy.// Profitability is about agency. Reaching profitability in year seven gave Flex the ability to make decisions that put customers first without being beholden to investor timelines or the next raise.// 88% market share and 3% awareness is the opportunity, not the problem. Most brands would panic at low awareness. Lauren sees it as the greatest runway ahead.Connect with Lauren: LinkedInLearn More: Website____Join the MHH Collective!

Teen boys have become an increasingly important consumer demographic over the past few years thanks, primarily, to their insatiable appetite for fragrance.  This includes the accumulation of "fragrance wardrobes," where users rotate their fragrances daily based on mood and occasion, often selecting from a robust collection of both designer and dupe scents. Teen boys also care about their fragrance atomizers and save for niche fragrances that signal access and knowledge about the category. Much of this stems from TikTok or Reddit, where "fragheads" — short for "fragrance heads" — follow the latest trends and industry news.  “It is very much a collector mentality,” said Glossy senior editor Emily Jensen. “There are actually a lot of parallels with how [teen boys] are discovering and purchasing [fragrances today] with the ‘sneakerhead' community that was big in the 2010s.” But teens are also notoriously fickle, changing their minds with such vigor that it can be considered a curse to attract too much focus from young people. For example, attention from teens and tweens crushed the once skin-care darling Drunk Elephant after young shoppers claimed the brand as their own, then quickly moved on, causing quarterly sales to fall by as much as 65%.  Teen boys today straddle two generations: Gen Alpha boys 16 and younger and Gen Z boys 17 and older. Together, they've been dubbed Gen Zalpha.  So how do brands and retailers reach Gen Zalpha boys hungry for the latest fragrance to add to their wardrobes?  In today's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, we unpack the latest strategy shift from Ulta Beauty reported by Glossy's international fashion reporter Zofia Zwieglinska. Launching this week, the retailer is partnering with fragrance brand Snif to attract young male fragrance enthusiasts with its first dedicated masstige men's fragrance brand, Notewrks. Through this, the brand and retailer hope to target the gap between mass and prestige fragrance.  Host Lexy Lebsack is joined by Jensen and Zwieglinska to unpack the rise of the Gen Zalpha fraghead and how Ulta Beauty is hoping to woo them. 

Episode DescriptionFor 13 years, Craig Siegel measured his life in external wins, the number in the bank account, the apartment in New York City, the next goal. And none of it made him feel like enough. In this episode, the Wall Street Journal bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of CLS (Cultivate Lasting Symphony) tells Bart Berkey how a "dark night of the soul" and a global pandemic forced the pause that changed everything, and why he now trusts "invisible progress" over the visible kind.Craig and Bart who found his own forced pause through a heart attack, dig into a truth most people avoid: we wait until life pauses us instead of pausing on purpose. Craig shares the exact practices that rebuilt his life from the inside out: starting the day with "the most important meeting of your day," flipping the script from consume to create, reframing challenging days as the greatest opportunities for growth, and reinventing yourself before life forces you to. It's a fast, quote-packed conversation about trading the exhausting chase for alignment, where success becomes an expression of who you are instead of something you're constantly chasing.Key TakeawaysPeace creates success — not the reverse. Craig spent years believing success would create peace. The breakthrough was realizing it's the other way around.Trust invisible progress. Track the internal metrics — Am I calmer? more generous? less reactive? more present? Focus on the roots and the fruits follow.Chasing external wins is a losing game. Like a drug, it's a high, then a "bye." It never fills you, because it doesn't measure fulfillment.Most people don't pause voluntarily. They wait until life pauses them — a heart attack, a pandemic, a rock bottom. Don't wait for the crash to reevaluate.Start with the most important meeting of your day. A 10-minute morning check-in sets the tone so you lead the day proactively instead of reacting to everyone else's noise.Before you consume, create. Reaching for the phone first thing asks "World, tell me who I need to be today." Flip it: create before you consume, reflect before you react.Challenging days are the opportunity. Reframed through Kabbalah, the hardest days are where the soul grows, ascends, and transforms.Reinvent before life forces you to. Reinvention isn't becoming someone else — it's becoming more of who you really are. The world needs more aligned people, not more successful ones.

This week on Sexual Assault Survivor Stories, I continue my conversation with Hannah King in Part Two of a three-part series. Episode 200 picks up directly where Part One ended, allowing Hannah to continue telling her story in her own words and at her own pace. In Part One, Hannah began sharing her experience of being drugged and violently sexually assaulted while outside the United States. She also began describing the devastating impact the assault had on her life. In this second installment, I continue my conversation with Hannah as she shares more of an experience that is deeply personal, painful, and difficult to revisit. I'm presenting Hannah's story across three episodes so that it can be heard without being rushed or reduced to a brief account of what happened to her. If you haven't listened to Part One, I encourage you to begin there before continuing with this episode. Part Three and the conclusion of my conversation with Hannah will be released next week. Episode 200 is also an important milestone for the SASS Podcast. Reaching this point has only been possible because of the survivors who have trusted me with their stories and the listeners who continue to hear them, share them, and support the mission of this show.

Are you a senior corporate executive, VP, or elite account executive struggling with the cold reality that no matter how many deals you close, you are ultimately just a number to the machine?   In this powerful solo episode, host Billy Keels shares an essential mindset shift from his 26-year corporate career—recalling his own login ID, I037, which he typed up to a hundred times a day in a company of 150,000 employees. Billy drops a truth bomb for high achievers: being a corporate number isn't a bad thing if you stop resenting it and start using the exchange to your advantage. Learn how to emotionally detach your personal identity from your corporate title, deliver elite outcomes in fewer hours, and leverage your 9-to-5 corporate skills to safely construct 41 streams of income on the side so you can confidently walk into boardrooms strictly by choice, not necessity.  

A revenue goal is more than just a number on a page. To make it a reality, you need to understand what has to happen underneath it. In this episode, Melissa walks through how to reverse engineer your revenue goal by breaking it down into the smaller goals, data points, and strategic priorities that create a clear path forward.         Melissa explains how understanding your average revenue per matter, the percentage each revenue stream contributes, and the numbers behind your firm can transform the way you plan. Instead of relying on assumptions or simply hoping you reach a target, you can use real data to understand what needs to happen to move your firm forward.         If you want to create a more strategic approach to your firm's growth, this episode will help you understand how to work backwards from your goals and identify the actions that make them achievable. You'll learn how to use the right numbers to plan with more clarity, make smarter decisions, and build a roadmap based on what is actually possible for your firm.                                 Let's talk!

Another packed Business Breakthrough Hotline, with four live callers and two anonymous Confessional questions, each one delivering a lesson that applies far beyond the person who asked it. Kelly coaches a Substack coach through launching a brand-new paid tier (and shares the three-part campaign every launch needs), helps a two-year real estate agent build a follow-up system that actually creates top-of-mind awareness, and talks a recovery coach out of the biggest trap new online founders fall into: trying to build the whole program before selling any of it.

A shepherd at the edge of a Rhineland forest counted his flock at dusk and came up two short. What he saw at the treeline was not a wolf. What his descendants would eventually call it was not a man. And what the isotope numbers in a Neanderthal femur are quietly telling us this year is that the folklore may have been keeping records the entire time.

Robby Gallety challenges listeners to put Jesus' disciple-making mandate into practice, arguing believers cannot expect the blessings of Jesus' ministry while ignoring his method. He outlines two core problems—many churchgoers don't know the Great Commission and don't know where to begin—and presents a practical model rooted in Scripture: worship, life groups, D‑groups, and mission. Research on Bible engagement and group discipleship supports the approach. The episode ends with a call to equip everyday believers to make disciples who make disciples, following Jesus' inspired method and empowering lasting spiritual growth.

Reaching Life's Goal | Proverbs 3:1–8 & Philippians 3:4–14 The Christian life isn't a sprint—it's a lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ. In this sermon, Rev. Dr. Lewis Galloway reflects on Paul's image of running a race and reminds us that while following Christ requires intention and discipline, it always begins with grace. Christ has already claimed us; our calling is to keep pressing forward, trusting that God is at work within us. Lewis explores three practices that have shaped Christians for generations: worship, prayer rooted in Scripture, and lives marked by generosity and service. These disciplines don't earn God's love—they create space for God's transforming work within us. Preached by Rev. Dr. Lewis Galloway at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte on July 26, 2026.

Pete Hall joins Jethro Jones live at ISTE 2026 to discuss his new book, Reaching and Teaching Kids Who Don't Fit in the Box. They dig into the five core reasons students disengage from school (not fitting in, academic gaps, boredom, lack of support, and emotional struggles), and share practical strategies teachers can use immediately — including setting self-concordant student goals, using AI to personalize entry tasks around student interests, and asking "cognitive interest cue" questions that spark curiosity instead of just testing recall. The conversation also explores shifting from "who knows the answer" questioning to more inclusive approaches that invite all students to participate, even with wrong answers. Pete closes with details on his book's pre-sale discount.

We're unpacking the surprising story of Jesus calling a hated tax collector named Matthew to follow Him. Along the way, we see how to read Scripture well, tracing Jesus's quote of Hosea 6:6 back to its Old Testament roots and uncovering a special Hebrew word that describes God's relentless, loving-kindness. We see a picture of a God who pursues us in our mess, even when we've been the ones who walked away. You'll be challenged to stop treating Jesus as just one priority among many and instead surrender every part of your life to Him. Wherever you find yourself today, outcast, reluctant, or somewhere in between, Jesus is still saying the same three words he said to Matthew: "Follow Me." Speaker: Joel Burke and Diego Garcia

In this message Pastor Chris teaches from the book of Job; a remarkable story about cosmic conversations and ramifications, the nature of suffering, the finiteness of our own understanding, and ultimately about the role our Fear of God can play in all of it.GRACE CAPITAL CITY: "Reaching, raising, and releasing disciples for the glory of the King and the coming of His Kingdom."www.gracecapitalcity.com | @gracecapitalcitySunday Gatherings at 10 am | Miracle Theater | 535 8th St SE, Washington, DC  

ELON MUSK PREDICTS UK CIVIL WAR: Is Britain Reaching Breaking Point? #ElonMusk #UKPolitics #CivilWar #IllegalImmigration #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Live ELON MUSK says Britain is heading for a "reckoning." Some hear a warning. Others hear scaremongering. Tonight I'm asking whether we're ignoring the warning signs. In his extraordinary interview with The Economist, Musk doubled down on his fears that mass immigration, cultural division and political failure could push Britain towards civil conflict within the next twenty years. Is he completely wrong? Or is he saying out loud what millions of ordinary Britons are already worried about? Meanwhile, Andy Burnham still refuses to confront the issue of illegal immigration directly, despite mounting public concern over border security and national cohesion. We'll also examine recent warnings from security and political figures about the potential threat posed by hostile Iranian networks and whether Britain's borders are sufficiently secure in the current security climate. What is established fact? What remains allegation? And are politicians being honest about the risks? Today we'll ask: Is Elon Musk exaggerating—or simply recognising a growing problem? Why won't senior Labour figures confront illegal immigration head-on? Has Britain lost control of its borders? Are politicians putting political correctness ahead of public safety? Is the establishment refusing to have the debate millions of voters want? This isn't about fear. It's about asking difficult questions before it is too late. Join me  and tell me what YOU think.

Lorenzo Fiori reports Italy is battling severe wildfires in Sicily and Sardinia amid a prolonged heatwave. Fiato reports that Italians face exorbitant fuel costs, reaching $9.50 per gallon on motorways due to heavy taxation. To avoid over-tourism in cities like Florence, he recommends visiting Ascoli Piceno, the "town of the 100 towers," known for its travertine architecture. He concludes with culinary recommendations, including the traditional Spaghetti Ascolana paired with local Pecorino or Rosso Piceno wines. (6)

Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire is the kind of milestone that says something about making it in America. After all, this is a country that has long celebrated outsized success. But it's impossible to ignore that this moment arrives when many working Americans say simply affording a home feels out of reach. What happens when the promise of opportunity becomes less certain in a country built on the idea of opportunity? Susan Stokes, the distinguished service professor of political science at the University of Chicago and director of the Chicago Center on Democracy, joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt for a look at what happens to faith in democratic institutions as unprecedented wealth becomes more concentrated.

Holle Tubbs, diocesan youth missioner for the Diocese of Atlanta, joins us for our Summer Shorts series to talk about a different path: reaching for God without turning faith into a bargain for control.In this episode, Melissa and Holle explore the relationship between faith, humility, and a kind of grit that isn't defined by winning, but by refusing to give up.

Bryan Johnson says he cloned himself as a newborn. What actually happened is stranger and older than the headline. We break down the real science (Yamanaka factors, induced pluripotent stem cells) then follow the thread back through five hundred years of doppelganger folklore, Paracelsus and the alchemical homunculus, blood magic and the Bathory legend, The Island and Never Let Me Go, the Egyptian ka, the Ship of Theseus, and all the way back to Gilgamesh. He didn't invent this story. He just gave it a petri dish and a following.
