This is your Friday refresh brought to you by my St Jude Marathon Weekend Fundraiser. Go to Benandtravis.com to clink the link and give. I got a long way to go to $4000. So go to benandtravis.com and donate to help kids in need and help fund research for cancer. One of my favorite past times is bowfishing. I consider myself somewhat of an outdoorsman. I like to hike. I love to hunt. I have always loved outdoor sports—from baseball to football to ultimate frisbee and golf. But one of my favorites is bowfishing. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it combines the sport and art of archery with fishing. You have a bow, rigged with a reel and line attached to an arrow. You shoot the fish — where we live it is mostly gar, carp, catfish and buffalo — anything other than game fish like bass and brim. I've bowfished at the gulf and in florida wetlands for stingray, crabs, mullet, and tilapia. It is incredibly fun and challenging at the same time. And for me, the fellowship is even better. It is always with some combination of some of my closest friends, mentors, family, and brothers in Christ. One of the coolest things about bowfishing is 95% of the time it is at night on a boat set up with lights able to penetrate the surface of the water and allow us to see things that most people will never see.

Welcome in to the Friday Refresh, brought to you by Team Ben and Travis for St. Jude Marathon Weekend. We are all raising money to help with cancer research at St. Jude and we would love for you to help us out. And by the way, send up an extra prayer of thanksgiving for Travis receiving the good news of “cured” from leukemia! All those folks who donated for years and years to cancer research at St. Jude might just have helped make that possible. Go to http://Benandtravis.com and follow the links to give to St. Jude and support our run. The school year is winding down. We are at that point in the year when many of the days are filled with fun activities or tying up the loose ends of the school year and praying every day that the break will hurry up and arrive. There are picnics, awards days, and outdoor fun days — basically “let's get through the end of the year without a complete meltdown days.” Links mentioned in this episode: http://www.benandtravis.com http://www.facebook.com/groups/benandtravis http://www.patreon.com/benandtravis Reframing Hope Book https://www.benandtravis.com/books Helping.

“Fitness can coexist with frailty. Function can not.” — Prof. Scott B. Fulton KEY LINKS Scott's book: FUNCTION: Turn Your Blind Spots into Strengths Scott's website: WHEALTHSPAN Scott's YouTube channel: WHEALTHSPAN: Functional Healthspan LIFTMOR study: High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training Improves Bone Mineral Density and Physical Function in Postmenopausal Women With Osteopenia and Osteoporosis Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation: bonehealthandosteoporosis.org How do you know if you're really aging well? In this episode of AGE BETTER, I'm joined by Prof. Scott B. Fulton, author of FUNCTION: Turn Your Blind Spots into Strengths, for an important conversation about why function may matter even more than fitness when it comes to aging better. Scott explains why how well you move, balance, think, react, and handle everyday life may be one of the clearest indicators of your future healthspan and independence. We talk about the difference between being fit and being functional, the hidden blind spots that can put you at risk, and the simple at-home self-assessments that can help you identify weak links before they become bigger problems. We also discuss the five domains of function, functional age versus chronological age, falls, cognition, and why improving the areas where you are weakest may be one of the smartest things you can do for your long-term health. In this episode, you'll learn: Why function and fitness are not the same thing What the five domains of function are How to identify your personal blind spots Why walking speed, balance, mobility, power, and cognition matter so much The difference between functional age and chronological age How simple self-assessments can help you age better This is a practical, eye-opening conversation for anyone who wants to stay mobile, capable, independent, and fully engaged in life for as long as possible. If this episode helps you, please share it with a friend or family member who needs to hear it. And as always, I'd love to hear from you—send me your ideas for future episodes at agebetterpodcast@gmail.com and connect with me on social media. Watch all episodes on YouTube!

And they needed another band member for their world tour. It was the perfect opportunity. Both parties mutually getting what they needed. And who knows how that could have turned out for both of them. The world will never know. Because he turned the band down. It was around the year 1989 and this up and coming star wanted nothing more than to make his mark on the country music world. He called them back and regretfully declined because he felt he could do something great in the country world. And so a man with financial difficulties chose to stay there and the band would have to find someone else.

Welcome in the Friday Refresh brought to you by the Adventures of Ben and Travis and the Divided Kingdom - PREORDER TIME! We have gotten amazing reviews on our first two books - The WorryCoaster and the Joy Rider and if you don't have those you can order your copy today...but while you are at it, preorder the Divided Kingdom to help us get those out. In this installment Ben and Travis will be facing off against some dragons of loneliness, self-doubt, and jealousy that some kids have to face when they go through big changes like their parents going through divorce. You guys have been so kind already in purchasing the book and giving us kind comments...we can't wait to see what else is in store. Go to BenandTravis.com today. It immediately changes the mood of the room. It is really amazing how our senses work. All year I have struggled with a few of my classes at school with them getting loud while they are supposed to be having quiet time working on their iPads doing work in reading and math. But they get to cutting up and playing rather than working. But that changed a little this week. I decided to turn on a YouTube kids channel that plays relaxing music and shows calming images of animals and sea creatures.

Passover was always a reminder of both the bad things of the world and the wonderful ways of God. On one hand the Passover was dark. Sacrifices. Blood on the door frame. A death angel. Darkness that sticks with you for generations. A reminder of the human condition. But at the same time the Passover was a bright light for a people enslaved. It was hope. It was freedom. It was a people getting their life back after years of hurt and pain. And that is the reason it was memorialized. Stories that would be repeated for generations. A memorial meal to help the people reflect on the powerful moment that God delivered them from Egyptian captivity. Songs and scriptures that would be memorized and repeated year after year. God's love on full display for His people.

This is your Friday Refresh brought to you by The Adventures of Ben and Travis and the JoyRider. The books are here. We think they have a great message that helps kids and adults alike to think about including others, handling difficult situations, and navigating strong emotions. Thanks to Jacob's excellent artwork they are also a lot of fun to look at. Go to BenandTravis.com/books and get yours today. Have you ever wondered if what you say or do even matters? I work at a school all day with kids whose ages from 4 year old to Seniors. I mostly see kids up through 5th grade but occasionally have the chance to visit with the older ones. And regardless of what age you teach or what age kids you might be parenting, there are usually times when you feel like your words fall on deaf ears and your actions go unnoticed. However, you may have a difficult time convincing Andrew Kearney of that.

Welcome in the Friday refresh brought to you by Team Ben and Travis for St Jude Marathon weekend. We have several people who have signed up to run on our team and many more who have given to this great cause. You can donate here https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Heroes/SJMMW?team_id=315929&pg=team&fr_id=158671. Josh Thorne and I are still trying to reach our $4000 commitment each and we could use your help. That's BenandTravis.com and the St Jude tab. What does your pyramid look like? Is it fully constructed? Or is it stuck in the middle of construction somewhere? I guess I should explain before I ask questions like that. I'm sure at some point in your high school or collegiate career you have come across Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Abraham Maslow proposed that these five needs are the motivators behind human behavior. They start at the bottom of the pyramid with the most basic of needs and work up to the more complicated and self-realized toward the top. Initially it was believed the lower goals always had to be completed first with a linear view of how they are accomplished, it is accepted now that different individuals and cultures may achieve various levels at different times.
