“People Sharpen People”Sacred Community Series – Part 3aDecember 14, 2025 | Light & Life ChurchThis week leaned right into the heart of Sacred Community: the truth that God uses people to shape people. Pastor Mark walked us through why real growth requires real relationships, even when those relationships feel a little… gritty.1. Generations Need Each OtherWe started with Titus 2 and the reminder that the church is supposed to be multi generational by design. Young and old teach each other. The body thrives when every member is connected and investing in someone else's spiritual life. That's how we leave a legacy that outlives us.And just to make it clear:Nobody is too old to ministerNobody is too young to ministerAnd both groups need to resist judging the other2. Iron Sharpens Iron… and Why That MattersProverbs 27:17 gave us the theme: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”Pastor Mark unpacked the sharpening process in a way that hit home. A knife only becomes sharp when two objects made of the same material rub, grind, and apply pressure. God designed humans to sharpen each other the same way.To become spiritually sharper:You need another personThere will be frictionThat friction has a purposeThe end result is sharpnessWe all have “rough edges,” but it takes different levels of grit to work them out. Grit in the human sense looks like courage, backbone, stamina, and determination. We need people who carry that grit so they can lovingly challenge the parts of us that don't look like Jesus yet.The catch? Being sharpened hurts. But humility lessens the amount of grit required.3. The People We Avoid Are Often the People We NeedSometimes we treat people as the problem when they're actually God's tool for our growth. Pastor Mark poked at that a little. We think we can avoid, mute, cancel, or distance ourselves from the people who rub us the wrong way. But God may have placed those very people in our lives to sharpen our character, our demeanor, and even our spiritual countenance.If you feel spiritually dull, it might be because you're missing the right people in your life.4. The Danger of Staying SilentThen we took a pretty strong turn into Ezekiel 3. When God gives truth and we keep it to ourselves, our silence can actually contribute to someone else's spiritual downfall. Sacred community requires truth telling, even when it's uncomfortable.Why don't we do it?Because many believers today have slipped into people pleasing. We're more worried about others liking us than about their souls finding life.5. Social Media Isn't Real CommunityPastor Mark hit on how social media creates the illusion of tribe while letting us avoid the messy, refining work of real human connection. Online, we can unfollow discomfort. In real community, we have to face personalities, fears, conflict, and growth.Authentic community forces sharpening. Artificial community lets us stay spiritually dull.6. The Narrow RoadJesus said the path to life is narrow. Community that honors God will always call people higher and refuse to compromise truth, morals, or faith. That's not narrow mindedness in the negative sense, but faithfulness to Scripture.2 John reminds us to guard against teachings that drift away from Christ. Giving a platform to things that oppose God doesn't just confuse the church — it makes us partners in the problem.7. The Challenge for UsThe sermon ended with two questions that cut deep:What truth have you avoided telling because you wanted to stay liked?And what have you compromised just to fit in?Sacred community can't exist in a group of people pleasers. It forms when believers call each other higher, speak truth in love, and trust that iron sharpening iron is God's design for our flourishing.

A friendly grudge, a lit tree, and a time slip—few things capture real car culture like club-versus-club drag racing. We sit down to explore the Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge and how it turns raw horsepower into community, safety, and bragging rights across eighth-mile tracks statewide. Even when a guest's signal fades, the story stays clear: organize the adrenaline, race where it's safe, and bring home a slip that proves it.From there, we open the hood on the industry's moving parts. Dealers are quietly finding gold in their service lanes, making real-time offers to maintenance customers to replace shrinking lease returns and tight auction supply. We break down the math, the goals, and what it means for anyone weighing a repair bill against positive equity. Then we zoom out to used-car retail's evolving landscape—Carvana's rebound, why some online car buys feel effortless while others come with surprise steps—and the fine print that separates convenience from frustration.The news cycle adds more heat: potential truck tariffs have Detroit's big names angling for advantage, and the EV conversation keeps running on two parallel roads—ambition and practicality. We talk charging costs that hit $50 for a 20-minute session, the gap between ad promises and road-trip reality, and the local conditions where electric shines. It's all wrapped in the heartbeat of the scene: Tailpipes & Tacos returning to Katy, a full slate of cruise-ins, and the kind of Saturday mornings where chrome, coffee, and community collide.If you love honest racing, straight talk on the car market, and the events that bring people together, this one's for you.

This week, the Pastors' Wives are keeping it real about friendship—especially the kind that forms (and sometimes struggles) in ministry life. They dive into the beauty and the mess: from honest conversations and counseling breakthroughs (true story) to the battle against jealousy and comparison.They talk about how vulnerability builds trust, why your spouse can actually help your friendships, and the importance of carving out time for your people—even when life gets busy. It's a conversation full of laughter, wisdom, and encouragement to fight for the kind of friendships that go the distance— even if you're the pastor's wife.To purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

The term ‘parasocial relationship' was coined in the 1950s by American sociologists Donald Horton and Richard Wohl to describe how people connected with TV personalities at the time. Today, parasocial relationships have expanded to include celebrities, influencers, athletes – even podcast hosts! Social media in particular has taken parasocial relationships to a new level; it blows my mind how much I know about some people I've never met. In this episode, I talk all about the parasocial phenomenon: the positive and negative attributes to parasocial relationships, why we reach for them, and how they're impacting our real (two-sided) connections.Parasocial relationships aren't inherently good or bad. They're just part of modern reality. They're not going anywhere. So instead of judging them, maybe it's time we get intentional about them. How can we use parasocial connections as a bridge to community rather than replacement for it?In this episode you'll hear about:Stats to consider: 51 percent of Americans have parasocial relationships but only 16 percent actually acknowledge they're in oneHow social media changed parasocial relationships, giving us more behind-the-scene access and real-time updates about the people we followThe emotional energy we invest in parasocial relationships and how they can impact real-life friendships, causing relationship distortionHow parasocial relationships can fill emotional needs, reduce stigma, provide behavioral modeling, and form communities in marginalized groupsResources & LinksListen to Episode 104 with Sharon Walters about how to get less passive and more active on podcasts and social media; Episode 91, about how to stop dreading parties and take charge of your guest experience; Episode 38 and Episode 39, about third places; and Episode 127, which is about calling your friends.Like what you hear?

In this episode, CJ shares a recent experience of true connection after being invited to a student's home for an artist playdate. Surrounded by different materials and supplies, they created art, exchanged ideas, and rediscovered the joy of in-person community.But why is this kind of gathering so rare today? CJ explores how social media, the “junk food of social life,” gives the illusion of connection but leaves us feeling empty—much like a fast-food meal that satisfies in the moment but lacks real nourishment. From doom-scrolling to quick-click interactions, we've replaced deep relationships with fleeting digital moments.Where are the bookstores, cafés, and gathering spots where we once met new people? Instead of engaging in real-world community, we isolate behind screens. But there's hope.CJ announces his new Creative Spirit Community program, launching this August at Unity Church of Dallas. Meeting on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, this gathering will include a talk, meditation, and small-group discussions to foster genuine connection.Want to start building community today? CJ is offering five free copies of his book to anyone who hosts a book club at home. Or, if nothing else, just pick up the phone and make lunch plans with one friend. Real relationships start with small steps..

The owner visited us to see our proposed site on Thursday, so our first stop on Friday was to his lot, to finalize details and make a deposit. We'll be getting a larger (8'x10') shed, for at least $700 less than Home Depot's price on an 8'x8' model. Home Depot our next stop. They've got LOTS of batteries; I grabbed an 8-pack of AA lithium which will be for a label printer that won't get used a lot, and would likely be destroyed by alkaline leakage. A 2x4x8 is $3.73. Aldi was last. It was also rather busy. We found everything we wanted. A few prices were actually lower. Staples were: bread (20 oz. white): 1.29; eggs: $2.05; whole milk: $2.83; heavy cream: $5.29; OJ: $3.29; butter: $3.69; bacon: $3.99 (-); potatoes: $3.99; sugar: $2.99 (-); flour: $2.35; and 80% lean ground beef: $4.09. A gallon of untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.599. Operation Independence What is the emergency fund for and what do you do after using it? Main topic of the Show: What is Next for LFTN It happened again. We turned a corner at the LFTN workshop. I kicked off the event with what was supposed to be a talk about using the #my3things method to move forward in life. But guys, I was BEAT. Like more beat that I have ever been. When I stepped in front of everyone to talk I saw much of the same fatigue on so many faces that I stopped focusing on the prepared notes and started a conversation. By then end of our conversation I realized something: You are no good to anyone if you put yourself in the hospital. Period. We have spent years helping people stuck in the throes of analysis paralysis just get started and then refine. We have spent years helping people who are having motivation problems, maybe a little depression or other things that keep them from persevering. We have talked about all the ways you can look at an impossible list, set a really big goal, then go for it and keep going every. Single. Day. We have even talked about adding your personal health, relationships, and other really important things to your daily goals so that you build a happy life. Why? Because the problem most of us face as we begin our walk toward independence is not what other people think about us. It isn;t if a spouse is on board or not. It isnt even about squeezing that last nickel out of your day to finally put aside toward something better. It is the broken promises to ourselves that must change. We tell ourselves stories like: I will eat on plan, or I will do this thing by that time. Or I will by GUM conquer laundry mountain tomorrow. Always tomorrow.Then tomorrow comes and it is so tempting to just not do what we set out to do even if we KNOW we feel better if we prioritize what we already promised ourselves (and sometimes others) we would do. The pressure of the urgent will overpower the prioritization of the urgent if you let it. And that is what you were programmed to do. Programmed by the bell at school. By asking for bathroom breaks. By seeking permission. Yes a corner was turned at the spring workshop, as it usually is. LFTN has grown as a community. In fact, someone told me they wished they had a term for the Greater TSP/LFTN/SOE/DELINQUENTS community because we all overlap and we all share core values. I just call it The Community if that helps. That way when another community of doers appears, we dont have to rebrand. The Community as in the Real Community - not a fake one that has been thrust upon us by outside forces but a group of people we can work with. Who understand the difference between friendly competition and toxic competition. Who DO instead of take. Yes, LFTN has brown beyond the timid little group of women who decided to step outside expectations and start doing what people told us we couldn't or shouldn't do. We've grown as mentors, and leaders, and as supporters. I've come to see that homesteads dont do well without women and that many of the best in this space will never be seen because they think that their “small” work on the homestead is nothing. But they are the heart and sole of the homesteading network. And that is how this homesteading podcast started. It started because I was doing things on my homestead that men are supposed to do and laughing with another friend of mine about how we would have to adjust our approach based on such things as: oversized (for us) tools. Center of gravity differences on big projects. Not having grown up building things and not knowing what we don't know. In the case of my friend, her husband works full time and she takes care of the livestock and simply can't always wait for a helping hand. In my case, I was both earning the income and needing to get infrastructure and processes in place to live what I knew would be in better concert with nature, producing food and peace from this small piece of land. And here I am a decade later, helping to bring more people into our Community. Connecting folks with the skills they need to start their own homesteads. Like processing chickens or canning. But the advice has not changed much. If we want something better, we have to figure out how to make that happen for ourselves. We have to move forward no matter what. We have to stop breaking the most important promises we have made to ourselves and just do it. But because we have grown as a community, we have changed too. No longer is the primary demon inaction. No no no. It turns out that overaction is a bigger problem for us now that we have surrounded ourselves with doers. There is always more we can do and we need a new skill: choosing to do the things that are most important. That move ourselves and our families forward. Whether your family be biological or chosen. Most of you missed my talk at LFTN24. Members, you will get it in the portal in about a month. We talked about having three areas of focus to move me toward my personal vision: Health, Wealth, Community. Three. Wealth is the thing that most of us hesitate to start building. It is the reason my advice is usually to get off your ass and try. But you have all grown beyond that. And so have I. Now it is time to get back on your ass and prioritize your three most important things. For me, my health has suffered as a result of delivering on my q1 and q2 promises. That is why I took last week all the way off. While catching up on home and homestead tasks, it was clear we had turned a very important corner. We have grown to where more action does not build more health, wealth, and community. Focusing more effort on fewer things does. Building back time to keep the promises we make to ourselves (I'm looking at you my “quit smokers” and “more workouts” people) in service of our long-term life vision is important. Becoming more ruthless about what you might catch from investing time in something - like the news or a toxic relationship - is important. In short, when we started 8 years ago, we were like a tomato seedling pushing through the soil and putting on leaves. Our flourishing and future depend on pruning to allow for airflow and so we can focus our resources on the most important vines. What does this mean for LFTN: We are still here and will go back to three shows (and maybe 2 in the future) a week. I will not be speaking at events so much because the cost of being gone from the homestead and from all of you is higher than most speaker fees. In short, we are honing in on the things that bring true prosperity and happiness. I hope you will enjoy this journey with me - how are you honing in on better ways to bring your homesteading journey to what you want it to be? Make it a great week! Song: GUYS!

In this service, Hannah talks about how the people in Acts shared all they had. How maybe, that wasn't exactly true, AND how we can still strive for real community anyway.
