Episode Summary: If you think your life is too far gone, or if you’ve made too many mistakes for God to redeem, you’re going to want to listen to today’s conversation: a Sacred Scar Story. Julie knew she could spend the rest of her life in prison if she were caught crossing the border with four pounds of methamphetamine duct-taped to her waist. But life had become so overwhelming, so painful, that she no longer cared if she lived or died. So, she crossed over the border. And with her arrest as a drug smuggler that day, her years of running from responsibility -and from God - came to an end. Through one miraculous event after another, God transformed Julie from drug dealer to Hope Dealer. In her book, All My Hope, Julie wrote “It takes courage to live beyond regrets, but the good news is that God wanted to take my mess and turn it into a miracle.” Join us on the podcast as we talk about Finding Hope After Addiction, Loss, and Imprisonment. Quotables from the episode: I want you to know that nothing you face is impossible with God. NOTHING. The blood of Jesus has never lost its power. God takes our mess and turns it into a message for the world. You see, what looked like a loss was really a game, because when my leg was amputated, it was one thing that did actually send me spiraling further into addiction. In that spiraling, I ended up at the foot of the cross in the arms of Jesus. And it was in that place where I was so done with the pain and the suffering and the dumb decisions and the addiction that I was so desperate, I cried out to God to become the center of my life, or I was going to lose everything. I had lost a leg; you would think that was a lot. But I was on the way to losing my very soul and my very self. You don't realize that you're stepping into a trap of the enemy that is going to consume you and steal your identity and your very soul. Sin is enticing because sin feels good for a moment. My first use of drugs took me on a journey straight to hell on earth. Addiction runs rampant in my family on both sides. And so that first line of meth, it just had me hooked. Addiction took me further than I ever wanted to go and made me someone I never wanted to be because I ended up liking the feeling that I got when I snorted that meth so much that I would do anything. I would tell any lie, I would deceive my parents, I would tiptoe into their bedroom at night and steal $50 bills out of my dad's wallet while he slept, I would do anything for that feeling. And then that feeling doesn't last forever. I would mix it with alcohol and try to get this euphoric feeling and it was like chasing my tail. And meanwhile, I'm slowly like becoming more and more depraved. Addiction made me lose all of any sense of morals that I may have had, even as a non -Christian, even as somebody who wasn't living for Jesus. I felt the presence of God there, and in that moment and I believed in God I knew he was real and I even understood that he could see me and I think it's that little seed of faith right the Bible says that we are all born with a measure of faith and so with that measure of faith I believed in God and he was chasing me and in that moment, I felt like God told me you can't have one foot with me and one foot in the world. Well, I didn't even have one foot with him yet. That voice made me stop and really think, “Okay, I'm living this way, But God is calling me to a life with him.” Nobody ever starts off using a substance thinking, “Oh I want to become an addict.” That's the grip that addiction has. It's like an invisible hand around your throat. There's only one thing that can break the grip of addiction, and that is the love and the power and the blood of Jesus. After I lost my leg to amputation, and I just was getting more and more into a world of darkness and desperation. I took my little boy, and I moved across the country because I thought that if I could get away from the things that or hard and start over in a new place, that everything would change. The only problem was I was still there, and I was my biggest problem, but I didn't know it yet. When you're in addiction, there's all those wrong people and you flock together. I went home from that doctor's appointment in Mexico and I fell on my knees in this home that overlooked the ocean. And it was in that moment of desperation that I see all this time I had thought I was a victim of life and circumstances. I felt sorry for myself and poor me, all this stuff happened to me. And in that moment when I was so broken, it was like the Holy Spirit himself descended into my living room and pulled the blinders off my eyes. I understood in this holy moment that I was not a victim. I was a sinner in need of a savior. I realized in this holy moment that I was not a victim of life, but a sad or addiction. I was a sinner in need of a savior. I fell to my knees after that appointment in my home overlooking the ocean and in my strung-out depraved desperation when I felt the Holy Spirit descend in the living room I cried out to God, and I said “I can't meet you halfway. I can't stop drinking. I can't stop doing drugs. I need you to become the center of my life or I'm going to be lost forever.” Other inmates began to notice that the one-legged lady who passionately loved Jesus was working hard to keep her heart pure. Those inmates came to me and started asking me about this Jesus whom I loved so much. The joy on the inside of me was so infectious that everyone around me wanted some of it. Even the correctional officers started asking me about my experience with Jesus! It takes courage to live beyond regrets, but the good news is that God wanted to take my mess and turn it into a miracle. You will also need to be courageous, because life on earth is hard. You will experience loneliness, loss, temptation, rejection, and attacks. But do not fear, for I will be with you! When we’re determined to not allow our faith and our dreams to be crushed by regret, grief, and sorrow, God will be able to use our grief and sorrow to make us strong and increase our faith in Him. I would leave you listener with the perspective that when you think you are at rock bottom that is the place where Jesus if you cry out to him will come sweeping in because it was in that prison that a prison ministry volunteer walked in and told me that Jesus Christ loved me, died for my sin, and would make me a new creation, and it was in that prison that I put my hope in Jesus and became free on the inside for the very first time in my life. Rock Bottom is the place where Jesus will come rushing in and change everything. Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 “So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” 1 Corinthians 13:33 “Bad company corrupts good character.” Recommended Resources: All My Hope: A Prisoner No More by Julie Seals Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

It's Tunesday! Enjoy, dear friends!

The culinary industry is more than just creating beautiful dishes; it's a world where passion meets vulnerability, where creativity collides with chaos, and where the very people who nourish others often struggle to nourish themselves. What happens when we finally start having the conversations that matter most?Don't you wish you had a place to go where you can drop your apron and just be you? Well now there is: Join The Chef Life Brigade Private Member Community by clicking hereIn this inaugural Chef Life Radio Live event from the Mule in Asheville, North Carolina, we gather as a community to address the elephant in the kitchen: mental health, addiction, and the culture that's been shaping our industry for far too long.From Rock Bottom to Rising UpChef Paul Cressend shares his raw, unfiltered journey through 27 years in the industry—from the dive bars of Nashville to the fine dining establishments of Charlotte, and ultimately to his recovery and rebirth as an entrepreneur in Asheville. His story illuminates the reality many of us face: the functional addiction that seems acceptable until it becomes the very thing holding us back from greatness.Paul's path through rehab, farm work, and eventually building his own private chef business, Pauliboy Enterprises, demonstrates that there's life beyond the destructive patterns we've normalized in our kitchens.The Hurricane That Changed EverythingHurricane Helene didn't just devastate western North Carolina physically—it stripped away the facade and revealed who we really are as a community. In the aftermath, something beautiful emerged: neighbors feeding neighbors, chefs supporting chefs, and a renewed understanding of what hospitality truly means.Breaking the Cycle of SilenceJennifer Hough joins the conversation to offer an outsider's perspective on the intensity that defines our industry. Her observations about the dopamine addiction cycle, the instant gratification nature of kitchen work, and the way we've learned to dismiss genuine appreciation reveal uncomfortable truths about how we operate.The discussion tackles head-on:Why "thank you" becomes meaningless when you hear it constantlyThe connection between kitchen culture and addiction patterns How the brigade system, while effective, can perpetuate unhealthy dynamicsThe importance of having conversations before it's too lateEight Minutes That Could Save a LifeResearch shows that eight minutes of genuine conversation with someone who cares can literally change brain chemistry and pull someone back from the brink of despair. It's a simple concept with profound implications for how we show up for each other."This is our mess, and I consider myself part of the problem, but that's why I want to be part of the solution."Building Something BetterThis isn't just another podcast episode, it's a call to action. Whether you're a seasoned executive chef, a line cook finding your way, or someone who simply cares about the people who feed our communities, this conversation offers hope and practical steps forward.The path to change starts with acknowledging where we are, sharing our stories without shame, and committing to being present for one another in ways that actually...

Book of Jonah, Pt. 2 – Blessedness of Rock BottomJonah 1:17–2:10 | King's Chapel Live StreamSometimes the greatest blessing comes when we hit the bottom.In Jonah 2, we find Jonah swallowed by a great fish and brought face to face with his own weakness, rebellion, and need for mercy. But even there, in the depths, God is at work. He hears Jonah's cry, rescues him from despair, and reminds him that salvation belongs to the Lord.Rock bottom becomes the place where Jonah remembers the grace of God—the same grace that pursues us when we run and meets us when we fall.If you have ever felt trapped by failure or wondered if God still hears you, Jonah 2 will remind you that His mercy meets us at our lowest and lifts us toward life again.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborJonah 2 sermon, Jonah prayer from the fish, God's mercy in rock bottom, King's Chapel Longwood FL, Jonah Bible study, salvation belongs to the Lord, running from God, God's grace and rescue, Jonah and the great fish, gospel in the Old Testament, finding God in failure

Scale Smarter: Use EOS to Add Another Zero with Rick Benton   When business growth starts to feel like chaos, it's time to add structure. EOS (the Entrepreneurial Operating System) gives you a clear roadmap to align people, processes, and profit — but when you combine it with the right financial systems, that's when the real transformation happens.   In this episode, Rick Benton, EOS Implementer and former multi-state business owner, joins Rocky Lalvani to unpack how EOS helps entrepreneurs simplify, scale, and create freedom. Together, they explore how visionaries can step back from the whirlwind, let go of control, and finally build a business that runs on systems — not stress.   5 Key Lessons from the Conversation:  Let Go of the Vine. Growth starts when you release control. EOS helps visionaries trust their team, delegate effectively, and stay focused on the high-value activities that drive impact. Weekly Scorecards > Monthly Panic. Measure what predicts the future, not what reports the past. Weekly scorecards with 5–15 KPIs give you 52 chances a year to course-correct instead of 12. Finance Is the Missing Gear. EOS brings clarity, but without a financial dashboard tied to gross profit and cash flow, you can hit your goals on paper and still miss in the bank account. When EOS and Profit First systems work together, growth becomes predictable and profitable. From Rock Bottom to Rock Foundation. The lessons you've learned — and the systems you've built — become the foundation you can always stand on. You're not starting over; you're building from strength. Stop Hustling, Start Delegating. Hustle culture leads to burnout. Smart owners out-delegate, not out-work. Systems and scorecards let you scale without grinding yourself or your team down.   Key Takeaway: EOS gives you the structure; Profit First systems make sure the structure actually pays. Together, they align your people, vision, and numbers so your business grows with ease — and adds another zero without adding more chaos.   About Rick Benton: Rick's entrepreneurial journey started in high school when he and a friend started an event company. Dedicated to a vision of creating the most exciting and energetic experiences, the business quickly found successes that extended far beyond the local Detroit market. Fast forward a few decades and this multi-state, award winning company provided event planning, coordination, entertainment, and AV production services for national corporate, social and educational clients. After a successful sale and exit of the business in 2018, Rick has been a teacher, a coach, and a business consultant. His superpower is his energy and passion for business, learning and growth, always challenging the existing status quo to find better solutions. He personally understands and experienced the power of EOS and how it offers freedom for entrepreneurs to break through their ceiling, clarify and achieve their vision, while improving the lives of leadership teams, employees and their families. Rick is excited to share that EOS power with you to achieve your VISION, gain TRACTION, and build a HEALTHY, cohesive, and fun-loving leadership team.   Links: EOS: https://www.eosworldwide.com/rick-benton    LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickbenton/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rick.benton/    Conclusion: Scaling isn't about doing more — it's about doing the right things in the right order, backed by clear numbers. EOS brings operational discipline. Profit First adds financial confidence. When those two worlds meet, your business becomes scalable, self-managing, and sustainably profitable.   If you're ready to connect your EOS scorecard to real profit and cash flow, schedule a Profit Assessment Call with Rocky and start turning structure into wealth.   #ProfitFirst #EOS #Entrepreneurship #BusinessGrowth #CashFlow #FractionalCFO #Scorecard #Visionary #Integrator #Delegation #Systems #FinancialFreedom #SmallBusiness #ProfitAnswerMan   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Things couldn't get much worse for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night after a 9-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche — a humiliating result that capped off what's already been a dismal start to the season. The question now is where they go from here.Head coach Kris Knoblauch had some interesting comments post-game, particularly regarding the team's trust in its goaltending. Could that be a hint at what's next for Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard? Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will be joined by David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period to discuss the possibility of a trade so early in the NHL season.Meanwhile, the Oilers are back in action tonight against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Jackets have dropped three straight and could be the ideal opponent for Edmonton to bounce back against.Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/OilersNation/https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnationSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

Mentor Sessions Ep. 037: Michael Morelli on Rock Bottom Addiction Recovery, Building a Bitcoin-Powered Fitness Empire, Parallels to Sound Money & Radical LongevityMichael Morelli's Bitcoin journey mirrors his brutal addiction recovery: from high more than sober for a decade, snorting oxycodone amid bankruptcy and affairs, to a 113-day shred from 25% to 8% body fat—bootstrapping FitScript into a multimillion-dollar data-driven health empire coaching 600+ men with peak biomarkers while stacking BTC as a maxi since 2020. Inspired by Saifedean Ammous' "The Bitcoin Standard," Morelli draws logical parallels between paleo nutrition's ancestral simplicity and Bitcoin's finite, sound money—why it's the only asset that "just seems logical" in a fiat-fueled health and wealth disparity crisis. In this BTC Sessions interview, he busts carnivore myths (labs "fucking wrecked"), unpacks peptides for faster gains, red light therapy hacks, and his no-excuses mantra: if a coke-addicted bankrupt can rebuild to live until 150, stacking sats with low-time preference, Bitcoiners have zero excuses for subpar health.

In this powerful episode Reg Platt sits down in studio with Abby Johnson to tell a life story that's equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful. He recounts his descent into heavy drinking and cocaine use, the guilt and shame after an abortion in 1976, a suicide attempt, experiments with black magic, and ultimately a dramatic spiritual turnaround that led to decades of marriage and pro-life ministry. Along the way Reg reflects on how men are often overlooked in post-abortion healing, why “supporting her choice” can be a cop-out, and how programs like Rachel's Vineyard and Project Joseph helped him find real restoration. Honest, vulnerable, and at times uncomfortable — this episode lifts the lid on topics men rarely discuss in public.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter
