Jesus redefines our worldly norms in order to change our perspective and benefit His kingdom. Today, Matt Kladnik, our Head of School for RSM Christian, walks us through Matthew 19:13-15, when Jesus' disciples rebuked the parents of children that were looking to be with Jesus. You see, Jesus invites us to have a child-like faith. He wants to have a relationship with us because we are His priority. We have been so wounded by the world that we've forgotten how to wonder. What would it be like if we allowed the Holy Spirit to re-center and heal that part in us?

RSM evangelist Tom Weaver preaches from Luke 24:13–35, retelling the Emmaus Road encounter. He emphasizes how Jesus walks with us in disappointment, opens Scripture to our hearts, and is ultimately revealed in the breaking of bread—calling listeners to daily intimacy with Christ and revival in their lives.

Are you a fan of Jesus? That's great! But Jesus didn't call us to be fans. He called us to be followers and he called us to Bring The Kingdom to the world. He called us to proclaim the Good News, demonstrate it, and freely give it away. Pastor Grace Kladnik takes us through what it means to be active participants in the work of declaring the Kingdom of God is at hand to all people, all around the world.

Freddie Bell and Chantel SinGs welcomes Superintendent Lisa Sayles-Adams, who recaps a busy summer including Washburn High School's 100th birthday celebration and Volunteer Day at South High with RSM. She also shares news about the district's new ‘Grow Your Own' program launching this fall to help train the next generation of teachers. Plus, she previews upcoming events like the MPS Farm-to-School BBQ, Community Ed enrollment, and the excitement of welcoming students back on September 2. 

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Ginelle van Tartwijk, Philanthropy Advisor at ABN AMRO MeesPierson and proud alumna of RSM's Full-time MBA Class of 2024. Originally from the US, Ginelle moved to the Netherlands with an efficiency mindset – determined to fully dedicate herself to the MBA journey. During our conversation, she reflected on the role of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in her studies at RSM: “The SDGs are a very big component of what we talk about in class, what we try to focus on, and what we take with us as we graduate.” The SDG that resonates most with her? SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. “I always come back to that one as being most important, because ultimately we have to work together to achieve the other goals. It's difficult to do it alone - and I see that both in my work and in the big philanthropists I follow.” For more insights and to hear her full MBA story, listen to the full interview!

Three of the gospel accounts begin Jesus' ministry with a call to "repent for the Kingdom of God has arrived". Pastor Cami takes us through the dynamic fourth chapter of Luke as Jesus' ministry launches into His earthly ministry having been tested in the wilderness and then proclaiming what the Kingdom is like and demonstrating it's power. He shows a Kingdom that is compassionate and concerned with those that would otherwise be cast aside. He shows a Kingdom that heals the sick, cares for the poor, and restores the oppressed without restraint. But in that simple humility He also shows a Kingdom with unmatched power to conquer the forces of evil, greed, pain, and suffering that plague our world. He shows a Kingdom that will one day make all things new as those who choose Him will enjoy His glorious presence forevermore.

What has the whole Epic Story of Scripture been leading us to? It starts here, with the story of John, an Israelite prophet in the wilderness preparing the people to Receive the King that the Old Testament was pointing to all along. Jesus was coming and while John was baptizing people with water in the Jordan, He would come baptizing with the Holy Spirit and with fire. John led us to repentance, that we might Receive the King, Bear Fruit, and Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Beim Rasen gehen die Meinungen oft weit auseinander. Die einen lieben einen sattgrünen Teppich, bei dem Halm akkurat neben Halm steht. Die anderen schwärmen für eine Wildblumenwiese, auf der sich Insekten tummeln können. Um einen sattgrünen Rasenteppich zu bekommen, ist schon die Auswahl des richtigen Rasensamens entscheidend. Bitte deshalb nicht zur billigsten Samenmischung greifen, sondern eine entsprechende Regelsaatgutmischung (RSM) kaufen, beispielweise die RSM 1.1 (Zierrasen). Die Rasenfläche sollte auch regelmäßig gedüngt werden, damit Halme genügend Nährstoffe bekommen. Empfohlen werden fünf Düngergaben: Im Juli eine Sommerdüngung, Anfang September eine Herbstdüngung, Mitte Oktober eine Winterdüngung, Anfang März eine Startdüngung und Anfang Mai eine Hauptdüngung. Wenn aufmerksam gedüngt wird, wächst der Rasen natürlich und muss regelmäßig gemäht werden. Gerade im Frühjahr bedeutet dies, dass bei optimalen Wachstumsbedingungen bis zu drei Schnitte in der Woche anfallen. Und wichtig: den Rasen im Sommer bei starker Sonneneinstrahlung ruhig etwas höher wachsen lassen, dann beschatten sich die Halme gegenseitig. Wer sich für eine Wildblumenwiese entscheidet, sollte die bestehende Rasenfläche runtermähen und bei schweren Böden ein wenig Sand ausbringen, um den Boden abzumagern. Eine Wildblumenwiese funktioniert übrigens nur auf sonnigen Standorten optimal. Im Handel gibt es verschiedene Saattüten mit Wildblumensamen. Achtet bitte darauf, dass ihr eine Regio-Mischung nehmt, die Samen von Pflanzen enthält, die bei euch auch typischerweise vorkommen. Die Fläche muss während der Keimperiode leicht feucht gehalten werden. Gemäht wird eine Wildblumenwiese am besten mit einer scharfen Sense. Ein normaler Rasenmäher könnte bei der Größe der Blumen auch gar nicht eingesetzt werden. Die Mahd bleibt einige Tage auf der Fläche liegen, damit die Samen herausfallen und dadurch neue Wildblumen wachsen. Und bitte nicht die gesamte Fläche auf einmal mähen, denn dann hätten die Insekten keine Nahrung mehr. Lieber zeitlich etwas versetzt zweimal zur Sense greifen. Welches Thema findet ihr interessant?

Let's kick off INSPIRATION by re-sharing my conversation with Sr. Marilyn Lacey, RSM, Founder of Mercy Beyond Borders. Get ready to be challenged, inspired and moved to tears! Mercy Beyond Borders is a global organization that is forging ways for women and girls in extreme poverty to learn, connect and lead. Sr. Marilyn shares incredible stories of courage, determination and divinity in this conversation. It was a priviledge to provide a platform for Sr. Marilyn to share her story and the stories of so many women who are changing their lives through education and advocacy. Sr. MARILYN LACEY, a Sister of Mercy, is passionate about making the world a more welcoming place. She's been working with displaced peoples since 1981. Although she holds a Master's Degree in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley and 4 honorary doctorates, she insists that the poor have been her best teachers. In 2001 Marilyn was personally honored by the Dalai Lama as an “unsung hero of compassion.” For two decades Marilyn directed the refugee and immigration programs for Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County, CA. She has also worked in refugee camps overseas. (1:28) Sr. Marilyn shares her story with us and why she has chosen this work.(8:40) We learn about actionable tools that Sr. Marilyn shares to educate people on the impact they can have in the world.(12:00) Sr. Marilyn shares with us the experience(s) of little girls, from South Sudan, that illustrates the positive impact her organization is having on people.(21:56) How did the system get set up that put her organization, Mercy Beyond Borders, on a path to make a difference in other countries?(30:01) We learn more details about the infrastructure, and the relationship with local government(s), that allows MBB to be impactful.(33:34) What is the importance of understanding that there is no “over there”? Helping others has an impact on us locally since we are so interconnected around the world.(38:54) A discussion about the “wrap around services” that MBB offers to ensure the girls are safe and can continue to get the education in their local countries.(50:13) Who in Sr. Marilyn's life are sources of support and motivation as she continues her work?(52:37).

God's Royal Story isn't like other stories. There are no castle walls keeping out the rabble. There is only a benevolent King who goes into broken places, brings real change to hearts and circumstances, and calls us into ambassadorship right where we are. We don't have to get fixed up and knighted before we're ready to participate in God's Royal Story. We can always begin to proclaim this story far and wide.

In this episode of the RSM podcast, Elder Daniel Richardson delivers the final evening chapel message from the 2025 Enduring Light Preaching Camp at Mid-South Christian College. Drawing from Matthew 9, Richardson explores the theme of "The Harvest is Plentiful, but the Workers are Few," calling on young men to rise up as evangelists and spread the Good News. Through anecdotes of healing and personal reflections, he emphasizes the importance of compassion and faith in ministry. Richardson challenges listeners to make a meaningful commitment to serve in God's harvest field, underscoring the urgent need for dedicated workers in spreading the message of salvation.

There are two ways of living: living in darkness or in daytime. God promises to restore us to life in Him again, and as we wait for that time, how do we chose to use it? Do you live in the darkness of the world, with anticipation of morning coming? Or do you live in the expectation of the dawn, in constant preparation for the wonders that He has in store? What time of day are you living in?

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how broken down the world around us seems to be? We can't fix these things on our own, but with God all things are possible. God is looking for people to partner with Him in bringing restoration to the broken areas of life. So how are you partnering with God today to bring restoration in your family, workplace, or community?

Living in a world filled with sin isn't just a time of condemnation. It's an opportunity to be a blessing and to share hope with a world that is so desperate for a savior. Today, Pastor Ryan opens with our third volume in our year long Epic Story series, titled Restore. Living as exiles, we are given an opportunity to press into God's will for His people, as builders to make the world better, blessings for those who need it, and as intercessors for each other in every walk of life. Living in the hope of God, and the future that He has promised, leads to good, only, always. How badly do you need to live in the hope of God today?

Would you say you have an 'eternal perspective'? When you think about Jesus, does the fact that He is coming back to rule and reign on this earth come to mind. Pastor Ryan closes out Volume 2 of our look at the Epic Story of Scripture with a look at the idea of the Day of the Lord. In the Old Testament, we see God outline the consequences of Israel choosing their own way over divine wisdom and then ultimately the fulfillment of that consequence. What can we learn from this? It is a signpost for us that God will likewise grant us the result of our choices. But Peter encourages us in his second letter that, while it's been a long time, God has a different perspective on time, He wants to see all come to repentance, and The Day Will Come.

What is it that derails our destiny? So often, and for so many, it's pride. Pride makes us self reliant, defensive, and stubborn. It insists that we know what's best for our own lives and that we do what seems right to us. But the way of Jesus is different. It seeks the wisdom of God, always! King Asa is an example of how pride can lead us astray. Asa had an opportunity to repent too. He had a golden moment to turn back to trust. And we have a tool to help us to do just that. When you're being derailed by pride, the antidote is to simply turn back to God in praise. To remind yourself that He alone is God and the creator of all and to lift high the name of Jesus.

You are not defined by your history, but you are affected by it. King Josiah came from a history and lineage of predecessors who had become irreverent toward God. And yet, as a young man, barely more than a teenager, he made a choice to bring his life and kingdom back under the scripture instead of standing over it and looking down upon it. God's word is fresh every day; it's about what he's saying to you through hat He's already said. What is God speaking to you today?

We all have influence. We all have people we're around who hear from us, maybe learn from us, respect us. So how do you wield your influence? Who do you let influence you? This week, Pastor Ryan looks at the life of Jeroboam, a king of Israel who got it wrong. He took advice from the wrong people and led the people down destructive paths. What can we learn from a life like this? Where can you identify with Jeroboam's folly and, importantly, how can you turn from that and use the influence you have to lead people closer to Jesus?

Can you imagine living in a world of perfect peace? Pastor Mike Foell walks us through the promises that God made to King David in 2 Samuel 7. God promised David that He would cut off his enemies from him. Can you imagine being in a place like that? Even though David sinned countless times against God, He was still faithful. Destiny can be derailed by disobedience, but resurrected through repentance. As broken as we are, God still loves us. What promises has God made to you, and how has He continued to show His faithfulness toward you?

Substituting expedience for obedience always yields the "fast food" result. Trying to substitute what we want instead of what God has for us never satisfies our needs. It only ever brings something temporary. The truth of the matter is that there is nothing we can hide from God, and yet He still chooses to love us, care for us, and fulfill His promises towards us. Today, Pastor Cami walks us through how King Saul failed time and time again to listen to God's calling, and how God still loved him and his people through the process.

Our guest on this week's episode is Hamilton Galloway, head of U.S. consultancy at Oxford Economics. Many of our listeners use forklifts in their supply chain operations every day. They really are the workhorses for moving products within facilities. But you might be surprised at the impact that the forklift industry makes on the overall U.S. economy. Recently the Industrial Truck Association, the industry organization that represents the forklift industry, partnered with Oxford Economics to evaluate those economic impacts. We share the remarkable numbers of the industry's contributions to GDP, jobs, taxes, and more.Logistics companies are taking a hard look at how artificial intelligence can help their operations. This week you saw how AI is having an effect on overworked logistics employees. Are those effects good or bad? A new survey of more than 300 supply chain decision makers found that companies are prioritizing technology investments, compliance, and outsourced services to optimize their supply chains and adapt to changing regulations—specifically as they navigate today's evolving trade and tariffs landscape. We share some of the interesting findings.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, returns to Money Life today as the firm introduces the RSM US Recession Monitor — a comprehensive scorecard relying on more than 20 indicators to track the health of the economy — which is showing a 55 percent chance of recession, a danger level that Brusuelas says will go higher if current tariff and trade policies continue as announced. While he is optimistic about potential rollbacks in those policies, Brusuelas says the current conditions would be considered recessionary regardless of the party in power in Washington, but are exacerbated more by policy than they have been during times of recession triggers like an oil price shock.Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, brings a Pimco actively managed multi-sector bond fund back as the ETF of the Week, noting that the fund is a strong diversifier and can goose yields now, at a time when investors are looking for safe havens but might want bond managers to manage into the rapidly changing market conditions. Plus, more from the archives with investment legend Jack Bogle — who founded Vanguard 50 years ago today and who appeared on the show a decade ago talking about the firm's 40th anniversary; today's excerpts, culled from three different appearances on the show, include comments from 2016 on the first Trump Administration that stand up particularly well against the test of time.

Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, says that unless an off-ramp to current government policies can be found, he expects a recession that is starting now and likely to last nine months. He has raised his likelihood of recession to 55 percent, but said you can see already a pullback in orders, which in turn will lead to a price shock, and then pullbacks in spending and ultimately labor that will complete the slowdown process. Brusuelas expects a 1 to 1.5 percent spike in inflation in the next two to three months, which would push inflation above 4 percent, yet he does not foresee the Federal Reserve acting quickly to mitigate the downturn. "They're going to be a bit late," Brusuelas says, in forecasting the first rate cuts no sooner than June. Also on the show, Roger Conrad, editor of Conrad's Utility Investor and The REIT Sheet talks dividend investing and how it is being impacted by the market moving away from all-time highs and staring down bear-market conditions.
