Mid-Year Reset: Strategies to Transform Your Life in Six Months To create your best six months ever, it is essential to start by defining what "best" means for you personally. This involves taking the time to reflect on your desires, aspirations, and what success looks like in your life. Tonya Leigh emphasizes that many people fail to define success clearly, which can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and confusion. By asking yourself, "If I woke up six months from now and said this was my best season yet, what would have made it so?" you can gain clarity on the specific outcomes and experiences you want to achieve. Tonya reflects on the halfway point of 2025 and encourages listeners to evaluate their feelings about the year so far. She shares her personal experience of needing a reset after feeling off track and discusses the importance of shifting one's perspective to create the best next six months.   Tune in for insights on becoming more of your authentic self and setting the stage for an empowered second half of the year.

Pastor JT continues through the one True story from Genesis 12 and 15. Here we see the promise of the Kingdom reestablished through the Abrahamic covenant.

Pastor JT continues through the storyline of Scripture in Genesis 3. The Kingdom is lost when Adam and Eve chose rebellion over trust. The people of God are exiled from His presence, now under depravity and death. We groan as we wait with the promise of the king and his kingdom.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley have a conversation about the meaning, significance, and different views of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.Questions Covered in This Episode:Why have baptism and the Lord's Supper been so contentious historically?What is the best argument for believers' baptism?What is the best argument for infant baptism?What are the dangers of not fully understanding each of these positions?What about churches that acknowledge both positions of baptism?What is baptism?How does the Lord's Supper connect to baptism in a way that is complimentary but distinct?What formative value does the Lord's Supper have in the weekly gathering?What is happening at the Lord's supper? What are the different views?Helpful Definitions: Baptism: "baptizo" (βαπτίζω): to immerse, submerge, or plungeTransubstantiation (Catholicism): The elements convert into the physical body and blood of Christ.Consubstantiation (Lutheranism): The substances both of the body and blood of Christ and of the bread and the wine coexist in union with each other.Spiritual Presence (Reformed): Christ is spiritually present in the elements.Memorial (Anabaptist): The elements are purely symbolic.Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Acts 2, Romans 6, Matthew 5:6, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34“Remember and Rehearse” by JT EnglishRememberandRehearse.com“Formed for Fellowship” by Kyle WorleyFormedforFellowship.com“You are a Theologian” by Jen Wilkin and JT EnglishDeep Discipleship Program Follow Us:Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteOur Sister Podcasts:The Family Discipleship Podcast | Tiny TheologiansSupport Training the Church and Become a Patron:patreon.com/trainingthechurchYou can now receive your first seminary class for FREE from Midwestern Seminary after completing Lifeway's Deep Discipleship curriculum, featuring JT, Jen and Kyle.

Pastor JT begins walking through the true story of Scripture from Genesis 1 and 2. Here we see the King establishing His kingdom. God's presence is with his people, giving them a place to carry out their purpose.

 Reading consists of two phases: consumption and digestion.To retain and use knowledge, you must properly digest what you consume.Memorizing everything you read shouldn't be the goal—understanding should.We remember the essence of a book so we can apply, analyze, evaluate, and even create something new.Not all information is equal.Poor learning methods make remembering:HarderMore time-consumingLess effectiveThe PACER Method: Categorize & Digest InformationWe process information into 5 categories (PACER) to store it in long-term memory.Our memory operates in three layers:Sensory memory (fleeting impressions) → Forgotten quickly.Short-term memory (words, names, numbers) → Limited storage.Long-term memory (concepts, meaning) → Retained through understanding.1. P – Procedural InformationWhat it is: Step-by-step instructions (e.g., coding, languages, photography).How to learn: Practice immediately.Learning without doing is pointless. Example: You can't learn photography just by reading—you must take photos.Key insight:90% of consumed info is forgotten.Digestion > Consumption. Focus on quality (deep processing) over quantity (mindless reading).2. A – Analogous InformationWhat it is: Knowledge connected to prior understanding (e.g., "leading lines" in landscape photography).How to learn: Critique & contextualize.Ask: When does this apply? When doesn't it?Example: "Leading lines" work for paths/streams but not for forests/lakes.Why it sticks: Your brain anchors new info to existing knowledge.3. C – Conceptual InformationWhat it is: Theories, facts, and systems (e.g., engineering principles).How to learn: Mapping (connecting ideas across domains).Example: An automation engineer studies medicine, satellites, and robotics to design an artificial heart.Key mindset:Beginners may feel overwhelmed, but expertise grows through applied learning.Always ask: How can I use this? Useless knowledge fades fast.4. E – Evidence InformationWhat it is: Proof that supports conceptual claims (e.g., accident reports validating traffic rules).How to learn: Store & rehearse.Store: Write it down (e.g., "Didn't stop at red light → collision").Rehearse: Ask:How do I apply this? (Stop at red lights.)What concept does this reinforce? (Traffic safety.)Why does this matter? (Prevent accidents.)5. R – Reference InformationWhat it is: Specific, unchanging details (e.g., mathematical constants, medical terms).How to learn: Store & drill.Store: Take notes.Rehearse: Use flashcards for recall.Key TakeawaysBalance consumption and digestion. Fewer concepts deeply understood > volumes skimmed.Not all knowledge is equal. Prioritize what's actionable.PACER organizes learning:Procedural → PracticeAnalogous → CritiqueConceptual → MapEvidence → Store & RehearseReference → DrillWhat stays in your brain matters more than what goes in.My Video:  How to Remember Everything You Read  https://youtu.be/LimAVySDrfQMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/How-to-Remember-Everything-You-Read.mp3

Annie-Rose Maloney has a simple ethos when it comes to writing a song: it must have a pulse, it must feel nice to sing, and it must bear a truthfulness about our human experiences. We talked about the mixed bag of emotions that come with releasing music, the decisions she's had to make to be uncompromising with her art and the nourishment that comes from growing her own food and sharing meals with her bandmates during rehearsals. The seven songs on Circle Walking are all tethered by being grounded in deep truth, and came out “a bit like an exhale - I almost always cried when I wrote them.” It was written over many years without any set intention, songs often blooming subconsciously from a seed of a lyric, or melody line - “I tended to let things reveal themselves to me. Like an archaeologist uncovering a hidden and delicate treasure.” Annie-Rose's recipe is a garden pie, which is packed full of any veggies you have around, in crispy filo pastry.You can find Annie-Rose Maloney's Garden Pie recipe on our website!Find us @whatartistseat on Instagram and our website www.whatartistseat.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue their discussion on the core doctrines of the Christian faith by having a conversation about union with Christ.Questions Covered in This Episode:What is union with Christ? Why does it matter?Why do we have an unbalanced understanding of this? Why do we think more about Christ in me?How does the story of the prodigal son show us union with Christ?What is the difference between Union with Christ and communion with God?How is the story of union with Christ the story of “home with God”?Where do we find union with Christ in the Bible?When we say that Christ is in us, are we talking about the Holy Spirit?What are some of the benefits of salvation?How does union with Christ help us understand our reception of these benefits?How does being in Christ lead us to sanctification?Helpful Definitions:Union with Christ: Being united to Christ by grace through faith. This means that now our identity is rooted in Christ, we are incorporated into a new people in Christ, and we are participating in God's world in God's ways in Christ.Abide: Verb form of Abode: HomeResources Mentioned in this Episode:Luke 15:11-32, John 15, John 14:23, Genesis 1-3, Jeremiah 31, Romans 8, Romans 5-6, Ephesians 1, Colossians 1:27, John 10, Hebrews 10:14, Philippians 1:6“Home with God” by Kyle Worley“Remember and Rehearse” by JT English“How Salvation Brings Freedom” by Jen Wilkin Follow Us:Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteOur Sister Podcasts:The Family Discipleship Podcast | Tiny TheologiansSupport Training the Church and Become a Patron:patreon.com/trainingthechurchMidwestern Seminary is excited to announce FTC Talks, exclusive conversations with MBTS faculty about ministry related topics.

radiantvisalia.comWord & Deed: We are Witnesses: Forgiveness, Part Iwith Travis AicklenScripture: Matthew 6:9-15, Colossians 3:12-13, Romans 12, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Isaiah, Ephesians 4:31-32, Mark 11:25-26, Ephesians 4:26-27Intro: Jesus, in teaching the Lord's Prayer, emphasizes one key action: forgiveness. This sermon explores the misconceptions and realities of forgiveness, highlighting its importance in our lives and witness.Key Points:One Job: In the Lord's Prayer, forgiveness is the primary action Jesus calls us to. We are to pardon and release those who don't deserve it.Misconceptions of Forgiveness:It's not approving of the offense.It's not excusing the offense.It's not automatic reconciliation.It's not denying the offense.It's not forgetting the offense.It's not neglecting justice.Realities of Forgiveness:It's a release.It's stopping keeping score.It's refusing to punish.It's being merciful.It's from the heart.It's an absence of bitterness.It's an ongoing process.The Spite House: Holding onto unforgiveness traps us in a small, confined space, hindering our freedom and witness.The Cross: Jesus' sacrifice demonstrates the ultimate act of forgiveness, tearing down dividing walls.Conclusion:Forgiveness is a mandate, not an option, for Christians.Bitterness is the alternative to forgiveness.Forgiveness is a release, not a recoding.We must rehearse forgiveness as much as we rehearse the story of the hurt.Call to Action:Reflect on areas of unforgiveness in your life.Practice releasing those who have hurt you.Choose to stop keeping score.Rehearse forgiveness.Receive communion as a reminder of Christ's forgiveness.Participate in the forgiveness prayer offered.

Send me a Text Message!This episode is going to spend a few more moments with the sight-sign of Jesus. It's the sixth sign of seven and remember one amazing thing it reveals to us about Jesus; it points to the Jesus who has this amazing ability to see. Jesus sees the people we miss.  But there is something more in this sign...Jesus gives us the ability to see Him and see others with greater clarity. One thing I love about this story is our chance to see this once blind man come to see, truly see Jesus. In this episode, we'll see how the stories, the narratives we rehearse shape how we see; how we see others and how we see Jesus. What stories do you tell and what stories do you hear? What narratives do you rehearse about your life, about God, about Jesus? The narratives we rehearse shape how we see!

Do Nothing! If you are struggling with sleep and had a bad night of sleep, do not sleep in later, do not go to bed earlier, do not increase caffeine intake, do not compensate with a nap* 2. Time rescheduling/sleep restriction therapy: if you are spending too much time in bed, your brain is not efficient; it's like being in the gym for hours a day but spending most of the time scrolling on your phone – you're not really getting a good workout like if you know you only have 45 minutes to workout* 3. Don't underestimate the importance of a winddown routine: whatever you enjoy for relaxation, build it into your regimen to help you decelerate* 4. Do NOT count sheep, instead take yourself on a mental walk: counting sheep actually makes you stay awake longer; instead, get your mind off itself by going through a rudimentary walk with hyper-detail – imagine putting your shoes on, opening the door, crossing the street, imagine the signs you see, look at the flowers, etc.* 5.

Have you ever struggled with thoughts that cross your mind? It's not that you want to think bad things; however, your mind keeps trailing to places it shouldn't go. The scriptures teach us that there is always a battle for our minds. In order for us to guard our thoughts, we need to be vigilant and ready instead of passively allowing every thought to capture our attention. Our thoughts are powerful because our sin begins in our mind. (Romans 7:23) Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can control our thoughts so that we don't become captivated by sin. It's not just a one stop intervention; rather, it's a daily discipline of being aware of our thoughts. How do we control our thoughts? Step #1) Stay sober minded towards Satan's attacks on our minds. (1 Peter 5:8)The devil can't read our minds; however, he can plant thoughts in our head. We need to keep aware of this so that we don't embrace his thoughts as our own. Step #2) Cast down any thought that goes against God's word. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)Once we recognize a unholy or unrighteous thought, we have the opportunity to use our spiritual weapons to drive it away from our minds. Step #3) Rehearse what God's word teaches in contrast to unholy thoughts. (Psalm 119:15)God's word is powerful and it can help us overcome the influence of evil thoughts. We have the choice to submit to the Holy Spirit's leading or submit to our own desires. Step #4) Seek God's peace to guard our minds. (Philippians 4:7)It's the peace of God which guards our hearts and minds from worry and anxiousness. Our role is to lay our petitions before the Lord and trust in Him. Step #5) Keep our minds stayed on Christ. (Isaiah 26:3)We keep our minds on Christ's love and sacrifice for us instead of allowing our minds to wander aimlessly. God sees our thoughts and knows our weakness—He can help us control them. Prayer Dear Lord, I want my thoughts to honor You. Help me to remain diligent to protect my mind from evil influences from within and without. In Jesus' name, amen.

Don't Rehearse The Curse #RTTBROS #Nightlight "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old." - Isaiah 43:18 (KJV) "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." - Psalm 55:22 (KJV) In life's journey, we often encounter trials and tribulations that weigh heavily upon our hearts. These burdens can consume our thoughts, leading us to dwell on our problems rather than seeking solace in the Lord. Yet, the Scripture reminds us of a profound truth: we need not bear these burdens alone. When faced with adversity, it is human nature to nurse our wounds, to curse our circumstances, or to rehearse our troubles repeatedly in our minds. However, the Lord calls us to a different path - one of faith and surrender. Instead of nursing our problems, let us turn to the Great Physician, who heals not just our bodies, but our souls. Rather than cursing our situations, let us bless the name of the Lord, for His ways are higher than our ways. And in place of rehearsing our troubles, let us rehearse the promises of God, which are yea and amen in Christ Jesus. The Psalmist exhorts us to cast our burdens upon the Lord. This act of casting requires a deliberate choice on our part - to release our grip on our troubles and place them into the capable hands of our Heavenly Father. When we do so, He promises to sustain us, to uphold us with His righteous right hand. Moreover, the Lord does not merely maintain our current state; He has the power to reverse our circumstances. As we read in the book of Job, "He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise" (Job 5:12, KJV). What seems impossible to us is but a small thing to our omnipotent God. Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, bringing our cares before the Lord. In faith, let us give our problems to God, trusting in His wisdom, His timing, and His power to work all things together for good to them that love Him. Remember, child of God, no matter the magnitude of your problem, it is not too great for your Heavenly Father. Give it to Him, and watch in awe as He works in ways beyond your imagination.

Jim Bryson is one of the most in-demand side musicians in Canada. He joins Tom to share a great story about briefly joining The Tragically Hip and sets up a new song for us, titled “Who's There.”

Recently, my social media has been full of short videos of various politicians and supporters giving talks at the Democratic National Convention.  It always begs the question for me about what are we doing as leaders in business?  We have the same goals.  We want our message to be heard and to be convincing.  The difference is, I am sure, all of these speakers have been well coached and have been practicing hard for their moment in the spotlight, given a global audience of massive proportions.  In business, we have our own team at our Town Hall or perhaps an audience at a business conference or maybe a small Chamber of Commerce gathering.  Actually, it doesn't matter about the venue, because skill is skill, image is image and credibility is credibility. I was reminded of this when one of my son's friends complained about the organisation's leader, when he has just joined the firm after graduating from varsity.  Being at the very bottom of the pile, young people are there to stay quiet and listen to their elders and betters.  The issue though is, they are not stupid. In this case, the top person was a poor speaker and so the new entrants first thought is, “have I made a mistake?”.  They worry that this company isn't as good as they imagined it was.  If the top dog, the “face” of the organisation is a dud, then maybe the whole artifice is a problem too. As business leaders, it would be rare that there is a lot of effort put into the talk preparation beforehand.  Smart, successful, assured people are confident about winging it.  The problem is we can become excessively confident over time and neglect the basics.  Here are seven points to reflect on when giving your next business talk to ensure you do a much better and more credible job. 1.         Rehearse.  This step is always the victim of tight schedules, but the downside of neglecting it serious because our personal and professional brands suffer.  Even if it is a minimalist approach on the prep front, at least do a run through before you launch forth in front of your listeners.  Remember they are judging you and your firm, on what they see you do. 2.        Eyes.  Make eye contact with your audience.  I don't mean the usual fake eye contact, where the speaker dramatically scans the crowd but in fact doesn't look at any one person.  I mean hard core, full on, six seconds of riveting eye contact, with as many people as possible, but delivered one by one,  maintained over the entire course of the talk.  Our listeners need to feel we are speaking directly to them and that we want their 100% attention.  Six seconds is enough to engage them without pulverising the audience into submission and coming across as being too intrusive.  3.        Face.  We make the mistake of thinking that our slides are the most powerful visual tool in our armoury.  Not true.  Our face shines through much more brilliantly and powerfully.  Our facial expressions are absolute commanders of nuance, meaning and impression.  Many business speakers remind me of Noh masks, which are frozen in carved wood with only a single countenance.  Don't be like that.  We need to use our face to amplify the emotions – belief, sincerity,  empathy, care, humanity - behind our message. 4.        Voice.  I noticed that many speakers at the Convention were loud, loud, loud  all the way through in their speech.  They were trying to speak powerfully, to inspire, to motivate.  That is all very well but modulation is a critical piece for really being heard. It allows us to amplify certain words and phrases, such that they stand above the other words placed around them.  Dropping to a whisper, after bellowing away in your talk, is the ultra power play in messaging.  That contrast pinpoints everyone's attention to what we say next during the whisper and that is what we want to have happen for the key points in our talk. 5.        Gestures.  They are another amplifier.  Fifteen seconds is the maximum length for holding any gesture, before it becomes stale, dull and lifeless.  Eye power combined with voice power, combined with a powerful gesture is an unbeatable combo when speaking.  I see so many CEOs speaking with a vice like grip on the podium and thereby denying themselves the opportunity to use gestures to strengthen their key points.  It is a big mistake.  When I have a podium, I purposely stand back from it, so that my hands are not tempted to touch it.  Be careful with podiums, because there seems to be a magnetic facility drawing our hands to grab it and hold on to it, so it won't escape. 6.        Pause.  We saw many good examples at the Convention of the better speakers employing pauses. These allow us to differentiate between what we have just said and what we are about to say. We create a small break, before we say the next thing.  That small gap allows the words to be heard clearly and gives the audience enough time to digest the previous content.  Pauses also create anticipation of what we are about to say, which is a great way of drawing the audience into us and our message.  7.        Posture.  Stand up straight, don't slouch, don't kick one hip out and don't look casual. A tall, straight back emanates authority and credibility.  It shows confidence and commitment to what we are saying.  These are subtle physical signals. We are all finely tuned into these signals, because that is how we have learnt to survive dangers over the centuries.  Our eyes spot some physical action in front of us, we then anticipate what comes next, as well as making a judgement about what we are seeing.  Slouching signals “unprofessional”, “casual”, “not serious”, “lazy”.  By going in the other direction and thinking to carefully control our posture, we can determine the signal the audience receives and make it a winner for us. These seven elements are not difficult or beyond mastery. By the way, the bar for public speakers in Japan is super low.  Just by mastering these simple elements, we can catapult ourselves into the top 5% of speakers.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines

Read our book, The Score That Matters - https://amzn.to/4ggpYdW Full shownotes at www.LearningLeader.com The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk We are celebrating episode #600 with Keith Hawk and AJ Hawk Tell a story about an awesome leader you worked with... Ron Ullery – I'm a firm believer that people either live up to or down to your expectations. And most people set their expectations for themselves too low. So it's on you as a leader to raise those expectations for them. Demand more because you know they can do more. Tyler Cowen – The high return activity of raising others' aspirations. Encouraged someone who was going for an MBA to get a Phd. At critical moments in time, you can raise the aspirations of other people significantly, especially when they are relatively young, simply by suggesting they do something better or more ambitious than what they might have in mind.  It costs you relatively little to do this, but the benefit to them, and to the broader world, may be enormous. What helps you give a great speech? How do you prepare? Ask, "What do I want my audience to do after seeing my speech?" Interview members of their team. Learn their terminology, challenges, what's going well, what's not, what are their goals, etc... Practice, practice, practice. Say it out loud. Rehearse so that once you're on stage, you can let it rip. What did the best teams you've been on do differently than the average teams?  The best players on the best teams always practiced the hardest. They set the tone for the work ethic of the team. They chose extra work. They set high standards and they demanded others raise their level of performance. The best teams hung out together outside of work. AJ was a Captain of the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl-winning team in 2010-2011... That team regularly hung out together outside of working hours, shared lots of meals, and knew each other extremely well. They trusted each other. Tell a story about how you've shown resilience… Failed and what did you do next? The Miami/Ben Roethlisberger story - The world doesn't care what you think you deserve. The primary goal is focused on adding value to others' lives. AJ shared a story from his sophomore year at Ohio State. His defensive coordinator, Coach Mark Dantonio sat with him 1 on 1 watching each play of the Michigan game. A day he'll never forget for how hard it was, how upset he was, and how determined he was to respond. AJ never lost to Michigan again in his career after that. Pistol shared a story about the time when the new CEO wanted to bring in his own head of sales (which was Pistol's job). Instead of complaining and leaving the company, he got creative and offered a new idea and a great way to leverage all the skills and knowledge he developed from being at the company for so long. It is amazingly rare for the head of sales to stay at a company after he's been replaced. But he thrived in the role and made the company better. Front line obsession – Pistol's story of the legendary Mert McGill going to the Supreme Court to demo LexisNexis and earning the most important sale in the company's history. I love stories about leaders proactively taking action and not being afraid to do the work. Update since Episode #500: Built the Learning Leader Team -- Officially working full-time with Sherri Coale, Brook Cupps, Geron Stokes, and Eli Leiker. We are working with leaders from a wide variety of companies throughout the U.S. The magic of the Pat McAfee Show -- They are unafraid. They say what others are thinking but are too afraid to say. They are authentic and fully themselves. They have great role clarity. Everyone knows and embraces their roles and excels at them. The End of the Podcast Draft – You're stranded on a deserted island. You have one iPad. On that iPad has 5 TV shows (and nothing else). Which shows do you choose? This is a competition with a clear winner and losers. The object is to win the draft.
