What if the people, habits, and voices around you are shaping who you're becoming? In this message, we kick off our fall season as we explore Romans 12:1–2 and discover one powerful truth: what's around you gets in you. As followers of Jesus, we're called to resist the patterns of the world and instead be transformed by God's presence, God's Word, and God's people. This message will challenge you to evaluate what's shaping your life and encourage you to build rhythms that lead you closer to Christ. You'll learn how to: Recognize the influences that are shaping your faith. Guard against the patterns of the world and pursue God's truth. Build a life that is transformed through worship, community, and spiritual discipline. What's around you eventually gets in you. The environments you choose today will shape the person you become tomorrow. As we begin a new season together, let's choose to surround ourselves with the things that point us to Jesus and trust Him to transform us from the inside out.
Fundraising can be uncomfortable—but what if discomfort isn't actually the problem? In this solo coaching episode, Mallory Erickson introduces one of the foundational concepts of executive coaching: understanding the difference between discomfort and stress. While many fundraisers believe that feeling nervous before a donor meeting means they're doing something wrong, Mallory explains why discomfort is actually a natural sign of growth, uncertainty, and courage. Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings, she shares a practical framework for noticing what's happening in your body, acknowledging your emotions without judgment, and preventing negative self-talk from turning temporary discomfort into chronic stress. Through simple practices you can implement immediately, this episode offers a powerful mindset shift that can help you become a more grounded, confident, and effective fundraiser. In a nutshell: Discomfort isn't something to avoid, it's something to understand. When we stop judging our emotions, we create space to show up with more courage, clarity, and confidence. In this episode, you will be able to: Understand the difference between discomfort and stress. Recognize how judgment amplifies difficult emotions. Notice physical signs of discomfort before they affect your actions. Interrupt negative self-talk before it escalates. Practice acknowledging and validating your emotions. Build a healthier relationship with discomfort. Develop greater nervous system regulation. Take fundraising action from courage instead of fear. Get all the resources from today's episode here.

In today's sermon, Burning Daylight, Pastor Mark takes us to Romans 13:11–14, where the Apostle Paul reminds believers that the time is short and the call to live for Christ is urgent. As followers of Jesus, we cannot afford to drift through life spiritually asleep.Pastor Mark challenges us with three simple but powerful commands:Wake up – Recognize the urgency of the times and our need to live with spiritual awareness.Get dressed – Put on the Lord Jesus Christ and live in a way that reflects His holiness and righteousness.Be ready – Live each day prepared to fulfill the mission Christ has given His Church.This message reminds us that our ultimate purpose is found in The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20). Every believer has been called to make disciples, and every church has been commissioned to take the gospel to the world.Pastor Mark also gives a timely reminder that the enemy often distracts the church with internal disagreements. Instead of allowing conflict and personal preferences to divide us, we are called to pursue unity, love one another, and stay focused on the mission Jesus has entrusted to us.

Learning How to Pray When You Don't Know What to SayHave you ever known that you needed to pray, but you could not find the words?Sometimes pain is too deep, pressure is too heavy, and our thoughts are too scattered to form the “perfect” prayer. But prayer does not begin with perfect words. Prayer begins when we turn our hearts toward God.In this message, Pastor Joe Moss II uses the story of King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20 to teach us what prayer really is—and what it is not. When Hezekiah received devastating news, he turned his face toward the wall, cried out to God, and wept bitterly. God responded, “I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears.”This message will help you understand:• Why you do not need impressive language to pray• How God understands your tears, silence, and groaning• Why prayer is relationship, not performance• How to pray without trying to control God• Why prayer should lead to obedience and action• How prayer becomes the first habit in the POWER framework• How to use the simple prayer framework: Recognize, Reveal, Request, and ReleaseYou may not know what to say, but you can always know where to turn.Whether you are an athlete facing pressure, a parent carrying concern, a leader feeling overwhelmed, or someone simply trying to hold life together, this message will encourage you to turn toward God honestly.Before you panic, pray.Before you perform, pray.Before you respond, pray.Before you allow a moment to become your identity, pray.God hears your prayer.God sees your tears.God understands your silence.And God is still present in the process.Join Pastor Joe Moss II and Make God Famous Church for this powerful message on learning how to pray when you do not know what to say.Main Scripture: 2 Kings 20:1–6Supporting Scriptures: Romans 8:26–27, Psalm 62:8, Matthew 6:5–13, Luke 22:39–44, Philippians 4:6–7Make God Famous ChurchFormation, not just information.We train people how to live with God every day.#MakeGodFamous #Prayer #LearningToPray #Faith #ChristianEncouragement #Hezekiah #POWERHabits #BlessBody #PastorJoeMoss #MGFC
A clinical hypnotist told him the problem in one sentence. You don't believe, at a subconscious level, that you were meant to be successful. That was Rob Dyrdek in his twenties, long before the professional skateboarder turned MTV star turned venture studio founder built a portfolio of brands and walked away from a run of exits. He tracks every minute of his day. He rates his life, his work, and his health on a scale of zero to ten, every single night. What the data told him is not what you would expect. The discipline is not the reward. It is the entry fee. He calls what he built the Machine Method, and he applies it to everything. Companies, relationships, health, a hundred-year plan for a family that does not exist yet. The part that will stay with you is what he says about luck. He refuses to pretend he earned all of it, and he is unnervingly clear about what makes it show up more often. You are already designing your life. The only real question is whether you are doing it on purpose. Rob on Instagram In this episode you will: Learn the Machine Method, the discovery to diligence to launch to scale process Rob uses to build and sell companies Discover why he rates his life, work, and health on a zero to ten scale every single day and what the correlation reveals Overcome the stuck stress that quietly drains your capacity long before you sit down to work Recognize the difference between failing with clarity and getting blindsided, and why one is survivable Build a life design where automation comes first, optimization never stops, and the process finally starts giving energy back For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1961 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.
Saying "Great Work" Isn't Recognition "Great work." Two words, zero impact. Your team can tell the difference between recognition and reflex, and so can your turnover numbers. In this episode I sit down with Alex Grande, founder of Recognize, to talk about what actually moves the needle on employee experience. Alex brings a rare combination to this conversation - he's an entrepreneur building HR technology, but he came up through psychology with published research in unconscious bias and social cognition. So this isn't a pep talk about praise. It's a working conversation about how recognition gets designed, why peer-to-peer is the purest form of it, and what happens to a team when the winners start noticing each other without a manager in the room. Practitioner to practitioner. Real tools you can use Monday. In this episode: Why training managers on 1:1s, feedback, and recognition is the highest-leverage employee experience investment you can make Comfort as a prerequisite for engagement - people don't bring their best to a room they're guarded in Why peer-to-peer recognition is the purest and most impactful form there is Winners want to work with winners: how recognition snowballs into a performance culture The specificity rule. Why "great work" fails and what to say instead Gamifying recognition without gimmicks: if the points don't lead somewhere, they don't lead anywhere Think SAPS: status, access, power, and stuff. This motivates people intrinsically The remote team killer nobody names: decision velocity, and why empowerment fixes it Building organic connection at a distance with water cooler channels and open meeting chat Meeting fatigue is real — kill the whole-team status update and make standups goals-based Camera on or camera off? Alex Grande is an entrepreneur and workplace innovation expert who combines gamification with HR technology to help organizations build stronger, more connected cultures. As founder of Recognize, a social employee engagement platform, he helps companies improve communication, recognition, and retention. With a degree in psychology and published research in unconscious bias and social cognition, Alex brings an evidence-based, human-centered approach to creating recognition programs that drive lasting cultural change.
In This Episode The future of online visibility isn't about ranking higher on search engines—it's about becoming the answer AI chooses to recommend. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Dr. Tamara Patzer, media systems architect and AI visibility expert, about how professionals can prepare their knowledge for the rapidly changing world of AI-powered search. Tamara explains how search behavior has shifted from clicking website links to asking conversational questions of AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Bing AI. Adi and Tamara explore the importance of creating a structured "source of truth" that AI systems can understand. Rather than relying exclusively on attractive websites or social media profiles, Tamara explains why businesses should organize their expertise using structured data, schema markup, transcripts, and machine-readable content. These systems help AI platforms verify expertise and confidently surface professionals when users ask industry-specific questions. The conversation also highlights the risks of building an entire digital presence on rented platforms like social media. Tamara emphasizes that businesses should own their digital assets by maintaining authoritative content on their own websites while using podcasts, press releases, articles, and social media to amplify those signals. Adi draws parallels between documenting business processes and documenting professional expertise, noting that both rely on organizing knowledge into repeatable systems. Perhaps the biggest takeaway is that AI visibility is not a one-time project but an ongoing system. Businesses that consistently publish structured content, document their expertise, and adapt to changing AI technologies will be better positioned to become trusted sources in the emerging AI search landscape.

Can anyone truly succeed alone? We explore how role models, mentors, and strong social support make upward mobility far more possible than grit alone.Summary: What role do the people around us play in shaping our success? Brothers Danny and Gilbert Murillo share how education, mentorship, and their evolving relationship helped them overcome incarceration and systemic barriers to build lives of purpose. Then, Social Mobility Lab founder Bob McKinnon explains why success is never a solo journey and how recognizing our own "dream team" can expand what's possible for ourselves and others.How To Do This Practice: Reflect on your journey: Think about where you are today and the moments that shaped your path. Consider both the opportunities you had and the challenges you overcame. Identify your dream team: Write down the people who have encouraged, protected, guided, or inspired you throughout your life. They might be family members, teachers, friends, mentors, coaches, or colleagues. Recognize their impact: For each person, note one way they helped you grow or see new possibilities. Notice how your achievements are connected not only to your own efforts, but also to the support you received. Look ahead with intention: Ask yourself what kind of support you need right now. Is there someone you could learn from, ask for advice, or build a stronger relationship with as you work toward your next goal? Move forward with self-compassion: As you pursue your goals, remember that success and setbacks are never yours alone. Focus on what you can control, ask for help when you need it, and offer yourself the same grace you'd extend to someone you care about.

Rejection has a way of feeling bigger than the moment itself. A missed invitation. An unanswered text. A friendship that seems to be slipping away. An opportunity that goes to someone else. Even when we can understand why it happened, something inside us can begin telling a much older story: I'm not enough. I don't belong. This always happens to me. In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Alison shares a recent experience with rejection and explores why present-day disappointments often awaken wounds from the past. Drawing from Psalm 27, attachment psychology, and the healing practice she calls Recognize and Return, she offers a compassionate framework for tending the sting of rejection without letting it define your worth. You'll learn: Why rejection often activates emotional memories far older than the present moment How to recognize when today's hurt has become an old inner narrative Why logic alone can't heal wounded places inside us How self-compassion helps right-size present disappointments The difference between extending grace to others and abandoning yourself A practical practice for moving through rejection with God's loving presence Rejection may still hurt. But it doesn't have to become the story you tell about yourself. Healing begins when today's pain is allowed to be today's pain—instead of carrying every hurt you've ever known.

We've all experienced moments where we feel emotionally disconnected—distant from God, withdrawn from the people we love, or simply "off" without knowing why. But what if those moments aren't meant to be ignored or pushed aside? What if they're invitations to deeper healing?In today's episode we're continuing our Freedom Series by sharing ones of Elliott's recent sermons he gave. Elliott explores why emotional engagement is essential to spiritual maturity and healthy relationships. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and years of counseling experience, he explains how God created us as emotional beings and why suppressing, repressing, or avoiding our emotions often leads to fear, conflict, isolation, and unhealthy patterns.He explores the difference between passive, aggressive, and healthy emotional responses, and why our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are so deeply connected, and gains practical tools for recognizing, processing, and surrendering your emotions to God. Elliott also introduces the "R.A.C." framework—Recognize, Accept, and Consider Change—a simple yet powerful way to move from emotional reactivity toward emotional maturity.Whether you've felt emotionally numb, overwhelmed, reactive, or simply disconnected, this episode offers a biblical vision for living with greater honesty, freedom, and intimacy—with God, with others, and with yourself.Dr. Karin & Pastor Elliott AndersonWebsite: http://loveandlifemedia.com/Empowered Dating Playbook: smarturl.it/EmpoweredDatingBookInstagram: @dr.karin | @pastorelliottanderson

You're manifesting every single day. You're just doing it the wrong way. That's according to Dr. James Doty, a Stanford neurosurgeon and neuroscientist who has spent decades studying what actually happens in your brain when you set an intention. His new book, Mind Magic, breaks down the neuroscience most manifestation advice leaves out completely. Here's the block nobody talks about. It's not a lack of belief. It's fear. It's shame. It's insecurity running your nervous system without your permission, and it's keeping you stuck in survival mode instead of the state where real change actually happens. Doty grew up in poverty with an alcoholic father and a mother who attempted suicide multiple times. A stranger in a magic shop taught him a technique that rewired how his brain worked, and decades later he's the one teaching it to brain surgeons and first responders. This conversation gets into the exact mental shift between wanting something and needing it, why self criticism sabotages your relationships, and the small daily ritual Doty still uses to reset his nervous system every single morning.

In this episode of The Danette May Show, I sit down with psychic medium, author, and spiritual teacher Theresa Watson to explore intuition, mediumship, spirit communication, and the wisdom already living within your body. Theresa shares how she discovered her abilities, why so many of us stop trusting ourselves, and how physical sensations, energetic signals, and inner knowing can help guide our choices.We also talk about soul contracts, setting boundaries with spirit, the difference between a psychic and a medium, trusting yourself after difficult decisions, and helping sensitive or intuitive children understand what they are experiencing. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your intuition is not something you need to earn. It is something you can begin listening to, strengthening, and trusting more deeply every day.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Meet psychic medium Theresa Watson(0:53) Welcome and guest introduction(3:50) Why Theresa said yes(4:28) Choosing guests through intuition(5:47) Real intuition vs. social media trends(8:02) Why we stop trusting ourselves(9:36) Soul contracts and relationship lessons(10:18) Embracing life as a medium(13:17) The hot tub awakening(15:58) Opening the door to spirit(20:19) Losing a friend over religious beliefs(21:20) How mediumship feels in the body(21:43) Clearing energy before a reading(22:27) Practicing trust in your intuition(23:24) Magnetic energy and family gifts(24:28) Setting boundaries with spirit(26:25) Psychic vs. medium(27:03) Women trusting their inner knowing(29:21) How to stay empowered(30:31) When spirit cannot come through(32:45) Recognizing intuition through body signals(35:24) Supporting intuitive children(36:26) Finding your why(38:28) Owning your truth in relationships(39:09) Final message and closing thoughtsCONNECT WITH THERESAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingheartsmedium Website: https://www.healingheartsmedium.com/ Programs: https://www.skool.com/awakening-your-spiritual-gifts/about Book: https://a.co/d/0cQsKVMc

I was working with a beloved client recently, a powerhouse entrepreneur and mama of three. She's already built a successful career as a PR strategist for authors, and now she's feeling the pull to bring that same gift to more heart-led non-profits. At the end of our session, I pulled a card like I often do. A woman on her hands and knees, birds circling around her. Faith in the Process, from Alana Fairchild's Sacred Rebels Oracle deck. That night, I shuffled again, just to check. Same card. The next morning, before we recorded this episode, I shuffled a third time. I pulled two cards, just in case, because apparently I still don't fully trust my own inner knowing (working on it).
Behind every successful fundraiser is someone who has learned to face fear, embrace discomfort, and build the confidence to keep moving forward. In this conversation, we explore why mindset, not just strategy, is often the biggest factor in fundraising success. Michael Mitchell, Co-Founder and CEO of The Fundraising Academy, shares insights drawn from years of coaching fundraisers and nonprofit leaders. Rather than focusing solely on scripts, templates, or techniques, he explains why lasting success begins with understanding the beliefs, emotions, and internal barriers that influence how people approach fundraising. His coaching philosophy emphasizes self-awareness, courage, and personal growth as essential ingredients for becoming a more effective fundraiser. Throughout the conversation, Michael discusses the emotional realities of fundraising, including fear, rejection, and overwhelm, and why these feelings should be normalized instead of ignored. He explores the powerful coaching principle of "naming it to tame it," showing how identifying underlying emotions can reduce their influence. The discussion also highlights the value of safe yet challenging coaching relationships, constructive feedback, emotional regulation, and the importance of leaning into discomfort rather than avoiding it. In a nutshell, fundraising isn't just about making the ask. It's about mastering the emotions that come with it! In this episode, you will be able to: - Understand the emotional side of fundraising. - Recognize fear and discomfort as normal. - Shift from tactics to mindset. - Identify limiting beliefs around fundraising. - Apply the "name it to tame it" approach. - Build emotional regulation skills. - Develop courage to make the ask. - Build a resilient fundraising mindset.

On this episode of the Vet Blast Podcast presented by dvm360, host Adam Christman, DVM, MBA sits down with Ori Stollar, M.Sc., DVM, DACVB, to break down the top five stress behaviors every clinician and technician should be able to spot in dogs and cats — including one that's often mistaken for a calm pet.
We dig into Acts 9:15-16: "But the Lord said to Ananias, 'Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. I will show him how much he must suffer for my name." This isn't about Saul being punished for who he used to be, but rather there is a cost to following Christ, but we see Saul understanding it is worth every penny of the cost. We see persecution taking place right after his conversion. As Saul went from synagogue to synagogue preaching of Jesus, people didn't trust him and wanted to kill him because they felt he was guilty of blasphemy against God by claiming Jesus to be God's son. They saw him as a religious traitor. Acts 9:23-30 ⁃ Conspiracy to kill him in Damascus ⁃ Shunned in Jerusalem ⁃ Befriended by Barnabas ⁃ Received by the Apostles ⁃ Conspiracy to kill him by the Hellenistic Jews ⁃ Returned to hometown of Tarsus In 2 Corinthians 11:23b-27 we read of his imprisonments, exposure to death, beatings, stonings, whippings, shipwrecks, and being in constant danger, facing daily his concern for the body of believers. This news of Saul's persecution causes us to: 1. Admire him for his courage in sharing the Good News of Jesus. 2. Recognize that he was saved from hell by direct intervention of Jesus. Jesus' intervention resulted in Saul knowing everything he has is a gift from God. We too have sinned and are saved by Jesus resulting in the free gift of salvation - and so we live for Him. We may suffer like Saul/Paul - under the enemy's attack. But our courage is found in God and in Saul's encouraging last written words. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord will award on that day!" God is good, and He brings His people through each and every day, including the darkest ones. Now What? Learn about God at https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

There's one childhood question that's secretly running your whole adult life. Aaron Doughty asks it straight: who did you have to be as a kid to receive Mom or Dad's love? Whoever that was became the role you're still performing, the pattern you keep mistaking for your identity. Aaron built a YouTube following of over a million people teaching exactly this kind of subconscious pattern work, and in this conversation he walks through his SHIFT framework for breaking free of people pleasing, self reliance, and the need to be liked. You'll hear why the dark side of people pleasing is buried anger, why setting a boundary can make you look like the bad guy before it makes you free, and why someone else's tension was never actually your job to manage. Aaron also opens up about losing his mom, the message she sent him two hours before she died, and what he now believes real freedom actually feels like. Aaron's Instagram Aaron's YouTube Aaron's Facebook Join The Shift Academy In this episode you will: Learn the SHIFT framework for breaking the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck Discover why people pleasing is a childhood survival strategy, not a personality trait Recognize the difference between healing someone and enabling them Overcome the fear of being disliked or misunderstood Build a new relationship to boundaries, tension, and authentic expression For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1959 More SOG episodes we think you'll love!

Or find yourself feeling guilty the moment you slow down, convinced you haven't earned a break yet?Many of us understand that rest is important, but knowing we need it and actually making space for it are two very different things.

In the 997th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by FanDuel Poker, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Ben Ludlow are at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas and joined by Nacho Cuesta of Master Poker Tells. Cuesta's greatest strength has always been the observation of patterns and details under pressure. For more than five years, he has systematically studied how decisions are physically executed in live poker. While much of modern poker study focused on solvers, ranges, and theoretical optimization, he has focused on a far less structured dimension: the physical execution of actions. In live poker, the mind decides. The body executes. And when cognitive load increases, repeatable patterns appear. That is where micro tells and macro tells are born. Not since Mike Caro, the "Mad Genius of Poker," has there been someone so devoted to live tells in poker. In this episode, he offers a trio of hands that really drives the point home. Master Poker Tells highlights "74 Unique Poker Tells Most Elite Players Still Don't Recognize."

Your body can't tell the difference between anxiety and excitement. The only difference is the story you tell yourself. Kelly McGonigal has spent her career at Stanford studying that story, and how the way you think about stress can quite literally change your biology, your relationships, and how long you live. She will show you why the fear of stress may be more dangerous than stress itself, and why one built in instinct can stop you from burning out completely once you know how to trigger it. You will learn why depression lies to you, why receiving support feels harder than giving it, why your body has a built in brake pedal for temptation, and what a rescue animal can teach you about earning real connection. There is a reason movement changes your brain chemistry more than almost anything else you could choose, and this conversation will make you rethink every hard moment you have ever tried to avoid.

Something has to die for us to see God clearly. In this intimate panel discussion, Pastor Venshard Dobbins, Pastor Cora Jakes, Dexter Jakes, Pastor Don Johnson, and Dr. Val walk us through Isaiah 6:1-8, unpacking what it means to recognize God high and lifted up. When King Uzziah's reign endswith his death, Isaiah sees the Lord — rightly. It becomes the mile marker that signals the start of his public ministry. This panel challenges us to examine what's obstructing our view of God's glory: insecurities, fear, disobedience, outsourced faith. They expose how we struggle to say no to everyone but God and how being broken is what makes us usable for His kingdom. You'll discover that your imperfections are exactly why God can use you and get the glory.

Let Jesus guide your steps and fill your life with purpose and peace.
