Pre-Order Pete Scazzero's forthcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success, at www.emotionallyhealthy.org/success and get a free chapter.For years, I measured ministry impact by one word: bigger. I remember walking into one of the largest churches in America, watching thousands of people fill the room, and thinking, this is it, this is critical mass. A staff member who'd been there since it was a thousand people told me something shifted at 7,500. Point people in a direction, he said, and it felt like a tidal wave.Jesus never built his kingdom that way. He picked twelve. Pulled three in closer. Sent seventy out two by two. The crowds came last, if they came at all. He called it yeast, a small amount, buried deep, working quietly until the whole loaf rises.In this episode, I walk through the fourth of four reversals from my new book: the move from critical mass to critical yeast. If you've ever measured your ministry by the size of the room, this episode will show you a slower, harder, far more fruitful way to measure it.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

Pre-Order Pete Scazzero's forthcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success, at www.emotionallyhealthy.org/success and get a free chapter.  For my first seventeen years in ministry, I led for Jesus without listening to him. My prayer life was mostly a list of requests. When a door opened, I walked through it and called it faithfulness, following my best ideas and telling myself it was discernment.In this episode, I walk through the third of four reversals from my new book: the move from our best ideas to discerning God's voice. Even Peter, James, and John struggled here. Peter watched Jesus transfigured on the mountain and responded with a plan: let's build three shelters. God interrupted him mid-sentence. "Listen to him." Not "help him." Not "build for him." Listen.If you've ever assumed your best idea for God was from God, this episode will show you a better way. Discernment isn't a bonus skill for the spiritually elite. It's the difference between leading for Jesus and actually listening to him.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

Captain Benjamin Lyle, Divisional Secretary for Greater Philadelphia Operations discussed the history and programming of the Salvation Army of Greater Philadelphia. Founded in 1865 in England, this was the first American chapter. Today the mission has expanded to further address the needs of the poor and needs of underserved communities throughout the region. They offer programs for youth, families and seniors, from basic emergency resources and shelter, to social activities and after-school programming. In recent years the Salvation Army has become a strong voice in Anti-Human Trafficking, raising awareness and support for its victims. The Salvation Army relies on volunteers and donations to keep their programming running.

In this episode, I sit down with Rev. Dr. Chris Ritter, chair of the Global Methodist Church's Global Episcopacy Committee, to explore the next chapter for bishops in the GMC. For the first time, the church will elect a regular slate of full-time bishops at its 2026 General Conference in Johannesburg, South Africa (August 30–September 5).Ritter walks us through the carefully designed process: annual conference delegations nominate candidates, eight international episcopal areas are formed, Area Committees on Episcopacy interview and rank nominees, and the full General Conference elects one bishop per area by a 60% threshold. These bishops will serve six-year terms as general superintendents—globally focused, term-limited servant leaders charged with guarding, teaching, and proclaiming the apostolic faith from a Wesleyan perspective.We discuss the shift from interim and part-time leadership to a more stable, full-time episcopacy, the theological and practical reasons behind restoring election to General Conference, and what this means for the church's mission to make disciples and spread scriptural holiness across the globe. A clear, hopeful conversation about accountable leadership in a global Methodist movement.Youtube - https://youtu.be/FSijf2TcYU4Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Rhino Records co-founder Richard Foos reveals how a scrappy record shop invented reissue culture, chasing master tapes, getting arrested for selling bootleg records, memories of Frank Zappa, Darby Crash and more. Topics Include: Foos discusses being called originator of reissue culture, credits early employee's phrase. Started as a Los Angeles record shop in 1973. Recalls how scarce and cheap rare records were before collecting culture existed. Describes hunting records at warehouses, swap meets, and Salvation Army stores. Notes punk rock's DIY ethos sparked broader music fandom and collecting. Rhino's shop became a punk hangout; Darby Crash was banned for chaos. Explains how punk bands pressed 45s since albums were too costly. James Brown's out-of-print catalog became Rhino's breakthrough first major reissue. Details licensing process: major labels' passive licensing departments simply approved requests. Rhino insisted on original master tapes, never secondary sources or stampers. Engineer Bill Englott restored recordings purely, never altering original mixes. Some projects stalled without usable masters, like a punk box set. Nuggets compilation missed "96 Tears" for years due to licensing issues. Foos explains Rhino's sequencing philosophy: welcoming newcomers, not strict chronology. Doo-wop box set, initially unpopular internally, became Rhino's best-selling release. Discusses 20-25 year nostalgia cycles driving collectibility of past decades' music. Notes scarce 2000s vinyl pressings now make that era highly collectible. Rhino focused on best listening experience over rarities for rarity's sake. Foos recounts pre-Rhino bootlegging ties and friendship with bootleg artist Bill Stout. Reveals he was arrested for selling bootlegs during a warehouse sale. Discusses how record labels misunderstood fandom, limiting artist output and bootlegs. Reflects on vinyl's spiritual appeal despite many records never being played. Compares cassette-era scarcity to streaming's shifting availability of licensed content. Predicts streaming remains the future, praises YouTube's vast musical accessibility. Doubts catalog values will keep rising, questions which artists endure historically. Criticizes a post-Rhino "L.A. Nuggets" box set for prioritizing rarity over listenability. Recalls Kinky Friedman rejecting a hits compilation over disliking his originals. Explains publishing hurdles licensing music for Freaks and Geeks and WKRP DVDs. Describes working with Frank Zappa on Beat the Boots and elaborate packaging. Shares current work: Shout Factory, wife's Narrative Method, and a new podcast.

Pre-Order Pete Scazzero's forthcoming book, Emotionally Healthy Success at www.emotionallyhealthy.org/successFor most of my early ministry, I led from my gifts. Teaching, vision-casting, faith, I had those in abundance, and little else. So I built my leadership on them, hid my weaknesses, and made sure no one saw me struggle. Then a painful church split exposed the whole thing. I spiraled into a two-year depression before I hit rock bottom, and found Jesus waiting for me there.In this episode, I walk through the second of four reversals from my new book: the move from charisma to weakness and limits. Jesus was born to a peasant girl, lived thirty ordinary years, and refused the power offered him in the desert. Paul, facing leaders with every credential he lacked, chose to boast in his weakness instead. "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness."If you've been measuring your ministry by the world's scorecard- gifts, platform, impact- this episode will show you a better one. Weakness isn't a hindrance to what God wants to do through you. It's the doorway.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: http://www.emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

Rob Scheer was thrown out at 18 with a trash bag. He was the youngest of 10 children. His mother was married six times. His father beat him and his siblings, punching him in the bladder so repeatedly that by the time Rob joined the Navy, it ruptured. He had spent his senior year of high school homeless — sleeping in the bathroom of the taco restaurant where he worked, on beanbag chairs in the public library after closing, and on the floors of friends' homes. He barely graduated. He had no family to go back to. He had no picture to put on his bunk in boot camp except one of Tina Turner. Then he became one of the most successful mortgage bankers in the country. On Episode 237 of Fine is a 4-Letter Word, Rob Scheer sits down with Lori Saitz to share the full arc: the teachers who believed in him when no one else did, the Navy discharge that sent him hitchhiking down Route 7 with a Salvation Army suit and a fabricated resume, the mortgage industry boss who ripped that resume in half and told him he was the most honest person he had ever met, the 28-year banking career, and the moment he looked at his four children in designer clothes and realized he had raised entitled kids who had never learned empathy. That realization led to Comfort Cases — a nonprofit that packs backpacks filled with brand-new essentials for children entering foster care on their first night. No more trash bags. Over 320,000 cases delivered to all 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the United Kingdom. Three-month waiting list for volunteers. Published by Derek Jeter. Featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Rob also shares what it means to be a foster and adoptive father to five sons, including one adopted at 18 in an adult adoption. He talks about why empathy is not in our DNA and must be taught, what leadership actually looks like outside of a job title, and why a five-year-old named Grayson was the one who understood from the very beginning that every backpack needs a blanket.

As San Franciscans raise issues of safety, over the last 5 years the city has lost more than 4,500 people to fatal overdoses. Although San Francisco has poured billions of dollars into proposed solutions, our public health systems continue to fail the community. Many people continue to deny the link between addiction, homelessness, and crime, while others with lived experience are calling for balanced, common-sense strategies. The Way Out is a recovery-focused homeless initiative of the Salvation Army at the intersection of drug addiction and homelessness, grounded in the belief that people recover when given the right support, structure and opportunity. Built on an abstinence-based model (including medication-assisted treatment, or MAT), The Way Out provides real-time access to services and a clear pathway from the streets to stability and independence. Delivered through a comprehensive Recovery System of Care, services include a recovery-focused shelter, stabilization, and withdrawal management; residential drug treatment; recovery housing and independent living; workforce development and life skills, and an alumni support network.  A Health & Medicine Member-led Forum program. Forums and Chapters at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics. Learn more about our Forums.

Free Resource: Craft a Rule of Life for Emotionally Healthy Leaders → emotionallyhealthy.org/ruleIn 2004, I stood in front of a building we couldn't afford to renovate, a staff team with the wrong people in the wrong seats, and a list of problems that all traced back to my own failures as a leader. I thought about resigning. I thought I'd taken the church as far as I could.Most of us know that feeling. Not enough hours. Not enough margin. Not enough emotional or spiritual energy for one more thing. And under that kind of pressure, we get reactive, anxious, driven.This week, I go back to 701 BC and a king named Hezekiah, surrounded by the most powerful army in the world, with no way out.

Did John Wesley believe the Bible is without error? Some argue that calling Wesley a supporter of biblical inerrancy is anachronistic because the term developed after his lifetime. In this episode of More to the Story, Dr. Mark Olson joins me to tackle this important historical and theological question.Together, we explore how historians approach questions about historical figures and ideas, examining the difference between imposing modern categories on the past and identifying continuity in theological convictions. Olson argues that while Wesley did not use the language of contemporary inerrancy debates, the substance of his view of Scripture clearly reflects a belief that the Bible is free from error. The conversation highlights Wesley's writings, his understanding of divine inspiration, and the methods historians use to assess theological claims across centuries.Whether you are interested in Wesley studies, biblical authority, or historical theology, this episode offers a thoughtful and engaging discussion.Youtube - https://youtu.be/h9lFjurIl9YAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

In this episode, I am joined by Revs. Samuel Padgett and Jonathan Bynum for a timely conversation on covenant and polity in the life of the Global Methodist Church. Drawing from the work of the Board of Ministry Cohort, Samuel shares how a request from the bishops to address clergy status concerns led to a deeper realization: the issue is not merely structural, but theological.Rather than simply adjusting categories like supply, inactive, or senior status, this group argues that our polity must be grounded in covenant. When theology leads, structures serve the mission of unity and faithfulness; when it doesn't, pragmatism can quietly reshape the church's identity.Together, they explore why covenant must remain central, how proposed legislation seeks to reflect that conviction, and why this conversation matters as the church looks ahead. This episode invites leaders and laity alike to think deeply about what holds us together.Youtube - https://youtu.be/T4OoCHTH7MoAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

John Paul DeJoria epitomizes the American dream, rising from adversity to become a renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is best known for co-founding iconic brands John Paul Mitchell Systems and The Patrón Spirits Company. John Paul has made philanthropy his core mission, establishing JP's Peace, Love & Happiness Family Foundation in 2011 to contribute to a sustainable planet by investing in people, animals, and the environment. This year, he was recognized as #24 on Forbes' list of the 250 Greatest Self-Made Americans. His motto, "Success Unshared is Failure," which is also the title of his new book, reflects a lifelong commitment to sharing success and fostering positive change. Summary John Paul DeJoria's life story has the shape of the American dream, but in this conversation he keeps pulling it back from myth into practice. He begins with a lesson from his mother, who had very little after his father left but still taught him and his brother to give a dime to the Salvation Army because someone else always needed more. That early ethic becomes the foundation of his book, motto, and operating philosophy: success only matters if it is shared. The discussion then moves through the formative hardships that could have made him bitter: foster care, homelessness, odd jobs, and door-to-door sales. John Paul does not romanticize those moments, but he does turn them into practical leadership lessons. When you are down, don't relive what got you there; look for the next constructive step. When you are rejected, be prepared for it, refuse to personalize it, and knock on the next door with the same enthusiasm. From there, the episode turns to entrepreneurship. John Paul explains why Paul Mitchell was built for the "reorder business," not the selling business: make the product so good that customers come back again and again. Scarcity forced the company to become lean, direct, and deeply customer-centered, teaching hairdressers how to use and sell the products instead of relying on advertising. The same playbook carried into Patrón, where education, quality, and grassroots selling helped create a premium tequila category that many distributors initially said was too expensive to scale. Finally, the conversation becomes a meditation on values, leadership, and legacy. John Paul talks about refusing to test on animals, stripping out unnecessary middle management, learning to let go as a leader, and building a culture where people know the mission without constant supervision. His philanthropy follows the same logic as his companies: not just giving money away, but investing in dignity, self-sufficiency, and a chance for people to move one notch higher. His definition of excellence closes the loop beautifully: excellence is what you do when no one is looking and the desire to keep finding something you can do a little bit better. Takeaways ·       "Success Unshared is Failure" was not a slogan for John Paul; it started as a childhood lesson in generosity when his family had almost nothing. ·       Adversity only becomes useful when it teaches you to look forward. You cannot change "yesterday's newspapers," but you can decide the next step. ·       Rejection is survivable when you expect it. The trick is not to avoid the closed doors, but to keep your energy intact for the next one. ·       Great businesses are built for reorder, not just first purchase. Quality has to be strong enough that customers come back without being chased. ·       Scarcity can sharpen a company. With no advertising budget, Paul Mitchell had to win by educating hairdressers and helping salons create retail revenue. ·       The real product was the system: the bottle, the stylist education, the salon relationship, and the customer experience all worked together. ·       Values become real when they cost something. Refusing to test on animals was not positioned as a marketing tactic but as a line John Paul would not cross. ·       The best partnerships have clear lanes. Paul Mitchell brought the hairdressing and creative credibility; John Paul brought the business building and go-to-market engine. ·       Scaling as a leader requires letting go. John Paul had to learn that having time to think was as important as personally overseeing every detail. ·       The best philanthropy is a hand up, not a handout. John Paul frames giving as an investment in someone's ability to become self-sufficient. ·       Excellence is not status or achievement. It is the standard you hold when no one else is watching and the commitment to keep growing.

In this episode of Unashamed, Unafraid, Mason and Sam welcome Mike Farr, a rock photographer, Spartan racer, husband to Jenny, and father to Wesley. Mike shares how his father leaving early, conflict with a stepfather, and feeling unlovable fueled a “character” that chased acceptance through music, drugs, escalating sexual behavior, and crime. He describes immersion in the late '60s–'80s music scene, cocaine dealing, and eventual heroin addiction, repeated arrests, rehab attempts, and a Salvation Army program that helped him rebuild sobriety and career. After a six-year relapse, an overdose coma, and another arrest, he surrendered, returned to meetings, and found sustained recovery and service, including coaching sobriety on the Vans Warped Tour, framing God as his Father and a source of healing.Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

National Donut Day is celebrated on the first Friday in June. But did you know that its origins trace back more than a century to the Salvation Army's "Donut Lassies," who served donuts and comfort to American soldiers during World War I? Buddy Valastro, owner of Carlo's Bakery, and Merle Heatwole, National Commander of the Salvation Army, join Kennedy to discuss how they're honoring that legacy by delivering donuts to veterans across the country. They share the story behind the holiday, the impact of the Salvation Army's mission, and why the tradition continues to resonate today.

Most of us were trained to read the Bible the way we were trained to lead — move fast, cover ground, extract what's useful, and get back to work. But what if that approach, by itself, is keeping you from the very transformation you're trying to produce in others?In this episode, I want to share a practice that has shaped my life for almost thirty years. A practice I cannot live without. It's called Lectio Divina — holy reading — and I believe it may be the single most important shift a Christian leader can make in their relationship with Scripture and with God.I'll take you through the history of this practice, the ancient monastic stream of reading that treated the Bible not as a text to be mastered but as a sacrament — a place of encounter with the living God. I'll share the four movements that structure it, and exactly what it looked like in my own devotional life this past week.This isn't theory. I'll be honest with you about the years I spent reading the Bible the way I approached leadership: achieve, produce, get it done. What that approach cost me — in my prayer life, my preaching, my soul — is something I wish someone had told me at 30.Lectio Divina interrupts the cycle of leading from information rather than formation. It doesn't just inform your sermons — it transforms the person preaching them. And it begins with something shockingly simple: slowing down long enough to let the Word read you.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

Most of us were trained to look for God in the big moments — the breakthrough, the open door, the dramatic call. But what if God is most consistently present in the ordinary moments we rush past every day?In this episode, I want to share a 500-year-old practice that has quietly transformed my leadership, my marriage, and my relationship with God. It's called the Examen — and I believe it may be the single most underused tool in the modern pastor's spiritual formation toolkit.I'll take you through the history of this practice, born out of the life of Ignatius of Loyola — a soldier brought low by a cannonball who discovered that God speaks through our interior movements. I'll share the 2-question version you can start today, and the fuller 4-movement practice the Jesuits have done twice a day for five centuries.This isn't theory. I'll be honest with you about the years I spent pushing past the heaviness in my chest — misreading desolation as something to overcome rather than something to hear. What I missed cost me. You don't have to miss it too.The Examen interrupts the cycle of leading from wounds and repeating old patterns. It teaches discernment, not just decision-making. And it begins with just two questions.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: emotionallyhealthy.org/conference
