In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers sits down with Warren Cleveland to discuss why captives should be part of every middle market producer's long-term strategy. David challenges producers to stop thinking transactionally and start thinking about the end game for their clients, helping them reduce total cost of risk, improve profitability, and eventually become candidates for captive insurance programs. The conversation focuses on the importance of introducing captive concepts early, educating clients before competitors do, and positioning yourself as a strategic advisor rather than a policy salesperson. Warren shares real-world examples of producers losing long-term accounts because they failed to have the captive conversation, while David explains how producers can use risk management, claims control, and operational improvements to prepare clients for eventual captive participation.

The Agents #007: Our AI Agent Negotiated a Vendor Renewal, Became a CFO and a Better SDR .. But Does He Have Too Many Guardrails? Episode 7 of The Agents, SaaStr's weekly show on the trials and tribulations of running a company with 21 AI agents, 3 humans, and a dog. This week Jason and Amelia debrief life after SaaStr AI Annual and discover that the agents didn't slow down just because the event ended. 10K is already planning SaaStr 2027, negotiating vendor renewals on his own terms, and somehow became a CFO while nobody was looking. Meanwhile, a guardrail problem quietly broke one of SaaStr's most-used apps for weeks, and the website agent is now outperforming every AISDR in the stack. This week: 14 guardrails pushed the VC pitch deck analyzer into rejecting everything, and the lesson is that over-guardrailing is just as dangerous as under-guardrailing. 10K got hooked up to Bill.com and found 8 years of collections automation that nobody had turned on. The AI VP of Marketing is now also running finance because convergence is real and agents do not care about org charts. And 10K sent a vendor a list of API demands before agreeing to renew, which the vendor did not love. Also: why losing your FDE might make you churn the vendor entirely, why Annie the website agent is writing better outbound than the actual outbound tools, and how 442,000 chats turned into 614 meetings with zero humans in the loop.

When life feels overwhelming, sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step away from the noise and create space to reconnect with yourself. In this episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Ellen Whiteside, owner of Sacred Grove Retreat Center and host of Mindset and Miracles, to explore the transformative power of retreats and why they can be especially valuable during times of change, loss, divorce, grief, or personal transition. Ellen shares her journey from massage therapist to retreat center owner and discusses how a series of unexpected life events led her to create a sanctuary dedicated to healing, reflection, and personal growth.

They also discuss the difference between group retreats and private retreats, the role of intentional practices such as journaling and meditation, and how rituals can help support personal transformation. Ellen explains how creating space for reflection can help people process major life changes and begin to envision what comes next. The conversation also explores the power of mindset, personal responsibility, intuition, and the importance of choosing thoughts that support growth rather than limitation.

Could Sabbath be one of God's greatest gifts for your spiritual, emotional, and relational health? In this episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, host Diana Romero explores the true meaning of Sabbath. It is not just a day of rest, but a sacred invitation to cease striving, reconnect with God, serve others, and experience renewal. Through biblical insights, teachings from Jesus, and a fresh perspective on what it means for Christ to be "Lord of the Sabbath," Diana unpacks how Sabbath was never meant to be a burden, but a gift. Discover how Sunday can become more than another busy day; it can become a day of worship, celebration, restoration, and deeper connection with God. If you've ever struggled to understand what Sabbath really means or how to honor it in today's busy world, this conversation will encourage and inspire you.

In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it's ugly, it's chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway.

Every human being has troubles. And sometimes our troubles overwhelm us. We live in a culture that encourages us to turn inward and endlessly process our troubles, yet this self-focused rumination often distorts our theology and leaves us doubting God's goodness. In this sermon, we look at how Psalm 77 calls God's people to shift their gaze from their own internal pain to God's steady faithfulness.

Kaleb dives into what the Bible teaches about deliverance, whether Christians can experience demonic oppression, and how the church can approach spiritual warfare with both biblical conviction and compassionate wisdom.

What can a $35 million settlement teach companies about subscription billing, auto-renewals, and cancellation practices? In this episode, we unpack the FTC's case against Shutterstock, which resulted in one of the agency's largest recent settlements over alleged negative option marketing violations. The complaint alleges that Shutterstock failed to clearly disclose automatic renewals and cancellation fees, did not obtain consumers' express informed consent for recurring charges, and made it unnecessarily difficult to cancel subscriptions. As regulators continue to focus on auto-renewal programs, recurring billing, and “click-to-cancel” principles, the case serves as a powerful reminder that businesses must ensure material terms are clear, consent is meaningful, and cancellation is as straightforward as enrollment. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Gonzalo E. Mon.

Do you struggle with fear or anxiety? In this episode, Fr Columba shares the simplest solution he's ever come across, and it took him years to find it. List the fear, ask God to take it away, ask God to direct you toward what He'd have you do. It sounds too easy. But it works. Wherever you are, whatever you're afraid of, try it.

Fr Mike Delaney reflects on how two books—*Dear Unity* (ed. Philip Ryall) and *Road to Renewal* (ed. Ron Huntley)—have inspired deeper thinking about Christian unity. Simple, prayerful awareness of one another across denominations is both a path toward genuine Christian unity and a catalyst for community renewal and strengthening the Body of Christ

Can a gritty, rain-slicked 1930s superhero story teach us about spiritual renewal? In this episode, we are diving deep into the monochrome world of the highly anticipated series, Spider-Noir. Do you like interesting cinematography? Are you weary of heroes in bright spandex? Do you love grounded characters and stories? Throw on a trench coat, pop in a candy cigarette and turn on Spier-Noir!  On this episode, we like to go beyond the fun stuff and dive into something that will help our spiritual lives. We read from Isaiah 53 and briefly explore the idea of renewal in Christ. Jesus faced pain, rejection and sorow, yet he rose from the grave. We can similarly experience resurrection in Christ. 

Will God completely destroy the earth at the end of history?Many Christians picture the end times as God wiping creation away and replacing it with an entirely different world. But is that actually what Scripture teaches?In Episode #10 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Josh Howard examines Revelation 21:1 and one of the biggest questions in biblical prophecy: when Scripture speaks of a “new heaven and new earth,” does it mean annihilation—or renewal? Looking at Revelation 21 alongside 2 Peter 3, Noah's flood, Isaiah's prophecies, and the Bible's larger theme of restoration, this episode explores whether God abandons creation… or redeems it.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Why Looking Back Keeps Us Stuck  Isaiah 43:18-19 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” I chose this verse because it made me think of the Chosen and also of what we talked about a lot in Encounter Ministries: a Renewal of the mind.  In the Chosen, people are always saying Jesus is doing things in a new way.  It's like He is teaching them things they already know, but He is saying them in a completely new way.  There are shirts with sayings on them from the Chosen, and two of them are “We are not what we were,” and “Get used to different.” These shirts show us that after you have truly encountered Jesus, you are not the same, and that is a good thing.   I wanted to look up the meaning of this verse so my thoughts on it wouldn't override what it was actually saying.  I am glad I did because I was focusing mostly on the words, “I am doing a new thing!”  This was what made me choose this verse: Jesus was doing something new during his 3 years of ministry.  He was doing and saying things that people hadn't done or said before.  He was not afraid to speak the truth, the harsh realities to everyone, and yet he spoke them with love.  He spoke to them in a way they could actually hear and be changed by them.  Do we let the words we read in the Bible change us?  I was thinking this type of renewal of mind is what God was talking about in this verse.  However, after reading more about this verse, I think it is about a renewal, but maybe not exactly what I was thinking. The first part of the verse says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.”  God does not want His people to focus on their past.  Sometimes we can get stuck focusing on our past and where we have been instead of looking ahead to where we are going.  I don't think it was just about the problems they had in the past; I don't think God wanted them to think about how He had helped them either.  The next verse says, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” God is telling them He will help them in a different way than He has in the past.  Do you know why it is important to tell them this? Have you ever been expecting things to look a certain way, and when they don't, you dismiss them?  What if you were so sure God would save you the same way He did last time that you missed the help He sent this time?  There is a parable of a drowning man that I think illustrates this idea.  A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help. Soon, a man in a rowboat came by, and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it's OK, I'm praying to God, and he is going to save me.” So the rowboat went on. Then a motorboat came by. “The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.” To this, the stranded man said, “No thanks, I'm praying to God, and he is going to save me. I have faith.” So the motorboat went on. Then a helicopter came by, and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope, and I will lift you to safety.” To this, the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I'm praying to God, and he is going to save me. I have faith.” So the helicopter reluctantly flew away. Soon, the water rose above the rooftop, and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you, but you didn't save me; you let me drown. I don't understand why!” To this, God replied, “I sent you a rowboat, a motorboat, and a helicopter. What more did you expect?” This might be a silly parable, and yet I think there is some truth to how we think or behave at times. Sometimes we think we know how God will save us or how He will help us.  Sometimes we are so sure we are right that we might miss out on what He really wants to do for us.  On one of the Witness Wednesday episodes, I talked about how Tony had been wanting to get out of the military for a while, and yet nothing was panning out for him.  Then, out of the blue, he needed to leave the Air Force, and the perfect civilian job opened up for him.  It didn't look like the answer he was looking for, and actually, he had stopped looking for any answer.  He had decided to stay in and was okay with it.  However, God knew his heart, and although the method God used was not ideal in Tony's eyes, the outcome was greater than we could have imagined.   This verse is for each one of us.  “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing something new! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” God does not want us dwelling in the past.  It is ok to briefly look back to see how far you have come and to make sure you don't repeat the same mistakes, yet we aren't meant to stay there.  Our focus should be on where we are going.  How will we ever get there if we are always looking back and never looking forward?  Also, hear God when He says, “I am doing a new thing!”  He is speaking this to you and to me.  He wants to do something new in your life; let Him.  Be on the lookout for this new thing.  If you are looking, you will find it.   The last sentence in the verse is for some of you in particular today.  You need to hear this today, and although I thought I chose this verse for all the reasons I already listed, the Holy Spirit is telling me He chose it so you could hear it today.  “I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” God wants you to know that He is making a way in the wilderness for you.  He is making streams in the wasteland.  I know it feels like there is no way forward. I have been there.  I know it feels impossible to see how you will get out of this situation.  I have been there too.  The answer is that God is making a way.  It is okay that we can't see the way, because God doesn't have to follow a path; He can make one.  He can do miraculous things to get us out of the completely ordinary and normal trouble we find ourselves in.  He loves us that much!! He loves you that much!  If you are in the middle of the wastelands right now, if you feel like you are in the wilderness, know that the Holy Spirit picked this verse just for you, and He wants you to know God is making a way through it all! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today.  Lord, we want to see you in our everyday.  We thank you for doing something new, and we ask you to open our hearts and minds to see the new thing you are doing. Lord, we thank you for making a way where there isn't one.  We ask you to help us to keep believing that this is possible and that you will get us through this.  Also, Lord, please take away this worry and this stress.  Help us to focus on you instead of our problems. Lord, we love you, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen. Thank you all for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

People acquire houses but they live in and come from neighbourhoods. In this timely conversation Andrew talks with Grimshaw's Head of Cities, Tim, about the state of British neighbourhoods and the interventions his Commission, chaired by the well-respected former minister Hillary Armstrong, recommends renewing them. Although the Commission has been focussed on neighbourhoods in the UK, the interventions it recommends are relevant well beyond the UK. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

What if the labels you've been carrying are not the labels God uses for you? Too many people build their identity around: • failures • mistakes • trauma • rejection • shame • other people's opinions But what happened to you is not who you are. In this powerful episode of the MADE NEW series, Jeanith Padilla explores how our identity is often shaped by our past experiences instead of God's truth—and how freedom begins when we start seeing ourselves through God's eyes. ✨ Your wounds may explain you, but they do not define you. Key Scriptures: • Ephesians 1 • Romans 8:1 • Galatians 2:20 If you've ever struggled with self-worth, shame, comparison, or feeling "not enough," this episode is for you.

Whether we admit it or not, every human being is prone to fear. We often let the fear of what others think or of what we might lose shape our decisions and responses. In this sermon, we explore Psalm 76 and how cultivating a right fear of God is the only way to stop fearing everything else.

"Psalm 88 is one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture. There is no neat resolution, no quick victory, and no easy answer to the pain. In this message, we explore how God invites us to bring our darkest fears, deepest grief, and hardest questions directly to Him. When life feels overwhelming and God seems silent, Psalm 88 reminds us that faith is not the absence of struggle—it is the willingness to keep turning toward God in the middle of it. Whether you are walking through suffering, wrestling with doubt, or standing alongside someone in a season of darkness, this sermon points us to the God who hears every cry. Together, we'll see that even when hope feels distant, God's presence remains near. Join us as we discover how honest lament can deepen our trust in Jesus and shape us into people who hold fast to God's promises, even in the longest night."

Edge God In Podcast 322 The Book of Judges: Self-Rule vs God's Leadership EdgeGodIn.com | Host: Estella Chavous Championing Human Potential in Christ Download Bible Study Template Learning Objective: By the end of this lesson, You will explore how the Book of Judges reveals the cycle of compromise, self-rule, and spiritual drift, and how believers can use self-examination through an EIC lens to return to God's guidance and truth. Scriptures: Judges 17:6 | Judges 2:11-12 | Proverbs 3:5-6 | 1 John 1:9 The book helped them understand five key areas: Honest self-examination Recognition of compromise Repentance Realignment with God’s truth Submission to God’s leadership Prayer: Heavenly Father, We come before You with humble hearts, acknowledging that without Your guidance, we are prone to wander and rely on our own understanding. As we enter this reflection on the Book of Judges, we ask that You open our eyes to see the subtle ways compromise can enter our thoughts, choices, and desires. Search our hearts and reveal anything that has drawn us away from Your truth. Teach us to recognize where we have been doing what is right in our own eyes rather than seeking Your wisdom and leadership. Give us the courage to face ourselves honestly, without shame, and the grace to respond with repentance and willingness to change. Through this time, form in us a deeper awareness of Your presence. Strengthen our emotional and spiritual discernment so that we may respond with wisdom rather than impulse, and with obedience rather than resistance. Help us to walk in alignment with You, surrendering self-rule and embracing Your righteous leadership over every area of our lives. May this reflection bring clarity, conviction, and transformation—not through condemnation, but through Your loving correction and truth. We dedicate this time to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Pastor Kaleb walks us through a prayer rhythm drawn from Martin Luther, a simple, grounded way of praying that moves beyond routine and into real communion with God. It's practical, formative, and meant to be lived out daily, shaping not just how we pray, but how we walk with Him. 

Episode 300 - Words and the Word ft. Fr. Gregory Pine, OP Have you ever thought about how much power your words actually carry? In this special 300th episode, the friars are joined by Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, to talk about words, speech, and the deeper invitation behind how we communicate. Drawing from his book Training the Tongue, Fr. Gregory reflects on how our words are not just sounds or information; they can build communion, reveal the heart, wound, heal, bless, and bring us closer to one another. Together, they explore how speech opens the door to real encounter: with God, with others, and even with ourselves. From the voice of the Good Shepherd to the Word made flesh, this conversation invites us to see language as something sacred, a gift meant not only to avoid sin, but to grow in love, truth, and deeper relationship. Join us as we learn to listen more deeply, speak more faithfully, and let our words become places where the Word can be known and loved.

Temptation is a problem. Sin is a problem. People can be a problem. So how does God expect us to overcome the daily attractions and struggles that come from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Part of the answer, the apostle Paul says, is found in being continuously renewed. Dr. Kinley explains from Colossians 3 in this week's episode. 

A few weeks ago I had the honor of speaking at Rededicate 250 in Washington, D.C. it was a national call to prayer on the National Mall as our country approaches the 250th anniversary of its founding. And though the event reiterated our deep need for God as a nation, what I left Washington asking myself was this: How do we rededicate not just our country, but our homes, our marriages, our children, our own hearts? Because while, yes, we're living in a time of deep political division and cultural upheaval, true revival doesn't start in the halls of government—it begins in our own homes. Renewal starts with us. In addition to the remarks I gave at Rededicate, I also share my dad, Franklin Graham's message. During his time on stage, my dad called our nation to repentance and back to true dependence on God, the principles we were founded on 250 years ago. As we approach this milestone anniversary for our country, let's once again examine our own role in building a nation rooted in the message of the Gospel. What would it look like for me—what would it look like for you—to truly rededicate ourselves and our families to the Lord? Our answer to that question has the power to change the course of our country, and our world. 

Episode 299 - Winning Summer What does it actually look like to rest well? As summer begins, the friars talk about how to enter a season of more space, flexibility, and rest without drifting into idleness. Whether it's summer break, vacation, weekends, or simply a change of rhythm, these moments can become a real gift, but only if we bring Jesus into them. In this episode, they reflect on the difference between true Sabbath rest and just checking out. Rest isn't a break from prayer, charity, or our relationship with God. It's an invitation to receive life with Him in a new way with intentionality, joy, good recreation, and space to be renewed. They also offer practical encouragement for staying grounded: keep prayer at the center, stay connected to others, choose wholesome fun, and look for small ways to love each day. Join us as we learn how to win summer, not by doing more, but by resting with Jesus and letting Him renew what matters most.
