Transcript:Da: Der kom en gryende morgen i sensommeren, og solens stråler sneg sig stille ind gennem vinduet i kollegieværelset.En: There came a dawning morning in late summer, and the sun's rays quietly slipped in through the window of the kollegieværelse.Da: Høje stabler af bøger fyldte hylderne, og trægulvet knirkede let under Lars' fødder, mens han trådte varsomt hen til sit skrivebord.En: Tall stacks of books filled the shelves, and the wooden floor creaked slightly under Lars' feet as he trod carefully to his desk.Da: Der var lugten af friskbrygget kaffe i luften, et tegn på de mange sene nætter, han havde brugt på at forberede sig.En: The scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, a sign of the many late nights he had spent preparing.Da: Lars stod foran spejlet, justerede sine briller og funderede over sit ønske om at organisere rummet og opbygge en produktiv studieplan for det kommende semester.En: Lars stood in front of the mirror, adjusted his glasses, and pondered his desire to organize the room and build a productive study plan for the upcoming semester.Da: Tankerne virvlede omkring inden i ham som efterårets blade udenfor, der allerede var begyndt at skifte farve.En: His thoughts swirled inside him like the autumn leaves outside, which had already begun to change color.Da: Hans værelseskammerat, Johan, sad tilbagelænet i deres fælles lænestol, en bog liggende åbent på skødet, men blikket fast fokuseret på telefonens lysende skærm.En: His roommate, Johan, sat reclined in their shared armchair, a book lying open on his lap, but his eyes were firmly focused on the glowing screen of his phone.Da: Johan havde allerede inviteret Lars til en spontan tur til byen.En: Johan had already invited Lars on a spontaneous trip to the city.Da: Men Lars vidste, at han ikke kunne lade sig distrahere.En: But Lars knew he couldn't allow himself to be distracted.Da: Sofie, deres gode ven, kom på besøg med en varm, opmuntrende smil.En: Sofie, their good friend, visited with a warm, encouraging smile.Da: Selvom hun selv havde egne akademiske udfordringer, var hun altid klar til at lytte.En: Although she had her own academic challenges, she was always ready to listen.Da: Lars gik hen til hende med en bekymret mine.En: Lars approached her with a worried expression.Da: "Hvordan håndterer du alting, Sofie?"En: "How do you manage everything, Sofie?"Da: spurgte han og søgte råd.En: he asked, seeking advice.Da: "Jeg laver en stram tidsplan," svarede Sofie roligt.En: "I make a strict schedule," replied Sofie calmly.Da: "Og jeg tillader mig selv pauser.En: "And I allow myself breaks.Da: Du må finde en balance, Lars."En: You must find a balance, Lars."Da: Da Johan foreslog endnu en udflugt, mærkede Lars beslutningen gro i sig.En: When Johan suggested yet another outing, Lars felt the decision grow within him.Da: "Johan, jeg har brug for at tale med dig," sagde han fast og så sin værelseskammerat i øjnene.En: "Johan, I need to talk to you," he said firmly, looking his roommate in the eyes.Da: Der ventede en stilhed, før Johan brød den med et overrasket smil.En: There was a pause before Johan broke it with a surprised smile.Da: "Selvfølgelig, hvad er der på hjerte?"En: "Of course, what's on your mind?"Da: "Det er vigtigt for mig at fokusere på studierne i dette semester," forklarede Lars.En: "It's important for me to focus on my studies this semester," Lars explained.Da: "Det synes jeg ikke, jeg har været god nok til at kommunikere.En: "I don't think I've been good enough at communicating that.Da: Jeg har brug for lidt plads for at klare det."En: I need some space to manage it."Da: Johan nikkede langsomt.En: Johan nodded slowly.Da: "Jeg forstår det nu.En: "I understand now.Da: Jeg vil ikke stå i vejen for dig.En: I won't stand in your way.Da: Hvad hvis jeg hjælper dig i stedet?"En: How about I help you instead?"Da: Med den anerkendelse, tjente han fra Johan, lettede noget inde i Lars.En: With the acknowledgment he earned from Johan, something lifted inside Lars.Da: Ved middagstid satte de sig alle tre, Sofie hjalp med at skitsere en plan.En: By midday, all three sat down, with Sofie helping to outline a plan.Da: Sammen byggede de en studieplan, der også gav plads til hygge og afslapning.En: Together, they built a study plan that also allowed for leisure and relaxation.Da: Den næste dag var anderledes for Lars.En: The next day was different for Lars.Da: Han opdagede en ny sikkerhed i sig selv, en styrke til at udtrykke sine behov.En: He discovered a new confidence in himself, a strength to express his needs.Da: Det var okay at bede om hjælp, og med Johan og Sofies støtte var han klar til det, der ventede.En: It was okay to ask for help, and with Johan and Sofie's support, he was ready for what awaited.Da: Væggene i kollegieværelset forblev fyldt med posters, bøgerne stod klar til at blive læst, og udenfor knitrede bladene i efterårsvinden.En: The walls of the kollegieværelse remained filled with posters, the books stood ready to be read, and outside, the leaves crackled in the autumn wind.Da: Spændt og med ro i sindet så Lars frem mod et nyt semester fuld af muligheder.En: Excited and with peace of mind, Lars looked forward to a new semester full of possibilities.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen concludes our Ecclesiastes series and ministry year.In this message, we look back on a year of God's work in our church and then walk through the rise and fall of Solomon. How is it that the wisest man who ever lived lost everything because he failed to guard his heart?We'll see how God's repeated warnings, ancient commands, and deep desire for our undivided devotion apply directly to our lives today. Let's identify the subtle "other loves" that threaten to pull our hearts away, and make a clear, intentional plan to keep our hearts wholly His.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 31, 2025, at 10:15am.

In this week's mastermind, Ed Lane shared his proven systems for building long-term success through client referrals and engagement. With 80–90% of business coming from referrals, Ed emphasized that the key to growth isn't chasing leads—it's staying top of mind with your sphere and past clients. Key highlights included:Referral Power – How trust transfers from one client to another and why consistent touchpoints drive results (Ed generated 3 new listings in a week from referrals).Engagement Strategies – The impact of handwritten notes, a 70/30 personal-to-business social media mix, and client events with a charitable twist.Relationship Framework – Categorizing clients into A, B, and C groups, rewarding referrers as VIPs, and using the “Mayor Campaign” script to generate loyalty.Smart Automation with a Personal Touch – Combining CRMs, AI-driven market updates, and thoughtful seasonal gifts to make lasting impressions.Standing Out as a Broker – Crafting a unique, compelling response to “What do you do?” that sets you apart from every other agent.Irresistible Value Propositions – Why your offer should feel like presenting a $600,000 gold brick—so good clients can't say no.Ed wrapped the session by encouraging agents to refine 3–4 consistent activities to stay connected, underscoring that referrals come from connection, not just transactions.

Associate Pastor Ron King concludes our Ecclesiastes series.It's been said that our modern age has been diagnosed with the word disenchanted; our focus on the material has often robbed us of what is sacred. But after all of the wisdom Solomon has imparted in this book, his final words are actually a call to be re-enchanted with a childlike wonder and awe of God.This call is summarized with two final commands: to remember your Creator, and to fear God and keep his commandments. These words are Solomon's remedy for cynicism and his secret for human wholeness.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 24, 2025, at 10:15am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Picture Solomon like a wise grandpa on a final drive, sharing his best advice before you step into life on your own. He reminds us that much in life is unknown — storms come, plans shift, and God's work is often hidden — but our call is to be generous, keep moving, and trust Him.And in the end, his parting words are simple and powerful: rejoice. Enjoy life as the sweet gift it is, thank God for every moment, and don't let anxiety steal the joy He intends for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 17, 2025, at 10:15am.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 10 feels like Solomon's unloading all the wisdom he forgot to mention. They're short, sharp one-liners about life, risk, relationships, and work.But even the best advice has limits. Life under the sun can still fall apart, no matter how wisely we live. That's why the real hope isn't in flawless wisdom, but in the good news that God's love meets both the wise and the fool right where we are.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 10, 2025, at 10:15am.

Guest speaker Caleb Hunt continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever had a friend who cuts through the noise to say exactly what you need to hear — not just what you want to hear? Today, Ecclesiastes plays that role, challenging us to face the one thing we'd rather ignore: death itself.Death is the great equalizer, reminding us that everything under the sun — our careers, legacies, and even wisdom — has limits. Yet, instead of despair, Ecclesiastes helps us see how confronting death head-on points us to genuine hope and purpose, found only when we invest in what lasts beyond the sun: God, His Word, and each other.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on August 3, 2025, at 10:15am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.Chapter 8 wrestles with why wicked people seem to thrive, how we're supposed to live under flawed authority, and what to do when life just doesn't make sense.But through it all, Solomon shows us something surprisingly hopeful: it will be well with those who fear God — not because we'll have the answers, but because we're trusting the One who does.It's an honest look at why submission — real, deep, often uncomfortable submission — isn't weakness, but the path to peace.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 27, 2025, at 8:30am.

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our Ecclesiastes series.What if the letdowns in life are actually beautiful invitations? Ecclesiastes 7 flips our expectations upside down, showing that mourning shapes us more than laughter, and legacy matters more than luxury.We chase control, comfort, and clarity, but every human scheme eventually fails. And that's the gift. Because in surrendering our plans, we begin to trust the One who made us for more than life under the sun. This message is an honest, poetic, and deeply hopeful reminder that the best things for us may not be the easiest, but they're always eternal.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 20, 2025, at 10:15am.

Have you ever poured hours into a YouTube video that racked up views but barely moved the needle on sales? Or maybe you've wondered why some marketers keep generating leads and revenue from videos they made years ago, while yours fade into the digital void? The difference isn't luck or timing—it's structure. Strategic scripting, built on psychological triggers, transforms YouTube videos from passive content into active sales engines. To learn how to apply the YouTube Sales Scripting Framework, I interview Salma Jafri.Guest: Salma Jafri | Show Notes: socialmediaexaminer.com/675Review our show on Apple Podcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.Have you ever found yourself chasing "just a little bit more" yet always feeling empty? Today, we're diving into wisdom from Solomon, the wealthiest man in history, who still struggled profoundly with satisfaction. In Ecclesiastes 5 and 6, Solomon exposes the truth that money itself never satisfies, we can't take our earthly treasures with us, and failing to find joy in God's gifts isn't just sad — it's spiritually corrosive.But there's hope. God offers a different path where we express deep gratitude for what we have and invest our lives in what truly lasts.

Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues our Ecclesiastes series.How we walk into God's presence matters. Too often, we rush in, distracted, busy, or burdened, offering words without weight and worship without reverence. But Ecclesiastes 5 calls us back: Guard your steps. Let your words be few. Fear God.It's not about silence or perfection — it's about listening and posture. What if your Sunday started not with making noises but with awe? What if hearing from God became your deepest expectation?Today, we're learning to show up differently and approach God with hearts ready to listen, vows we intend to keep, and reverence that shapes our worship.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on July 7, 2025, at 10:15am.

Have you ever heard of SCRIPTING? Scripting is a powerful manifestation technique rooted in the Law of Attraction. It's essentially writing a story about your life as if your desires have already come true. Think of it like journaling, but with a twist: you're writing from the future you, not the present you. The energy behind it is all about alignment- Feeling the emotions of your desired reality now, so you can attract it more easily. Why scripting works: It reprograms your subconscious mind, helping you believe that your goals are possible. When your beliefs shift, your actions and energy naturally align with the version of you who already has what you want. Quick Tips: *Start with “I'm so happy and grateful now that…” *Don't worry about “how” it'll happen focus on the feeling and vision. *Use a special notebook just for scripting to make it sacred and intentional. _________________________________________________________ Follow us on IG: @straightupsistersthepodcast @raqcsworld @lasusie Follow us on YOUTUBE: Straight Up Sisters Podcast For full episodes in AUDIO and VIDEO subscribe to Patreon.com/straightupsisters Email us: hello@straightupsisters.com

Associate Pastor Ron King continues our Ecclesiastes series.Solomon had it all: wealth, wisdom, wine, women, and work. Yet he called it all hevel: vapor, mist, a striving after the wind. In Ecclesiastes 2, we meet a man who tried everything under the sun and still found himself empty.But this isn't just ancient pessimism; it's a timeless invitation to stop grasping for satisfaction in things that can't fulfill you, and to start pursuing God, the only pursuit that lasts, the only One who gives true joy.If you've ever asked, "What's the point?" — this is for you.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on June 15, 2025, at 10:15am.

Will the life you're building truly stand the test of life's inevitable storms? As we conclude our journey through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, we're confronted with a powerful image: two houses, two builders, two outcomes.Both people heard the same teaching and faced similar challenges, yet one stood firm while the other tragically collapsed.The crucial difference is not merely hearing Jesus' words but choosing to build your life on them slowly, intentionally, and obediently.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Woolner is a widely-recognized expert in the functional medicine community, known for helping functional medicine practitioners optimize their practice. With a deep commitment to aiding practitioners across various disciplines—chiropractors, nurse practitioners, medical doctors, and more—he focuses on improving both their clinical outcomes and business success. Dr. Wells is an accomplished figure in the functional medicine industry, committed to revolutionizing how practitioners convert potential clients into patients with effective communication and business strategies. He is renowned for his expertise in patient communication, sales strategies, and developing heart-centered approaches to healthcare. Episode Summary: In this pivotal episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine Podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells dive deep into the often challenging aspect of sales within the healthcare sector, especially focusing on high-ticket program conversions. They propose a paradigm shift for practitioners who are averse to traditional sales approaches by presenting a framework that makes enrollment as natural and ethical as possible, without the off-putting pressure of conventional sales techniques. The episode explores key strategies for transforming how practitioners approach patient interaction to achieve higher conversion rates for their high-ticket health programs. Highlighting the importance of understanding patients' goals and the role of tension rather than pressure in the sales process, Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells share invaluable insights on building trust and developing authentic patient-practitioner relationships. Additionally, they discuss the significance of scripting and preparation to turn the potentially intimidating sales conversation into a reassuring and collaborative dialogue. They draw parallels with real estate agents to illustrate effective selling techniques and emphasize creating an alignment between practitioners' offerings and patients' desires. Key Takeaways: Understand the Patient: Take the time to ask open-ended questions to fully understand what the patient wants, beyond mere symptom relief. Scripting is Essential: Properly practiced scripting guides the conversation effectively, sounding natural and confident rather than robotic. Build Trust Early: Making a strong first impression in the initial five minutes with the patient is crucial for building a lasting relationship. Differentiate Pressure from Tension: Pressure seeks escape while tension seeks resolution; operate in a way that establishes natural tension to help patients reach their goals. Align Solutions with Goals: Present solutions that align directly with patients' articulated goals for more successful conversions.

Worship director Justin Jackson continues our Sermon on the Mount series."A wolf in sheep's clothing" is someone who appears harmless but is inwardly destructive. Jesus warns us about false teachers who will come like this, and tells us to be on guard because the ways deception can creep into the truth are subtle.This isn't just about identifying those who might lead us astray; it's a call to examine our own understanding of truth and the path we're choosing to walk.

Lead Pastor Josh Carstensen continues our Sermon on the Mount series.There are moments in life when thinking about decisions isn't enough—when you have to choose. In Matthew 7, Jesus brings us to exactly that crossroads.He presents us with two clear paths: a narrow gate opening to a hard road, leading to real life, or a wide gate leading down an easy road, ultimately ending in ruin. Faith in Jesus isn't just a one-time moment—it's also a continuous journey of choosing to follow Him, even when it's difficult.
