After nearly two years away from the Stoic world, author and researcher Kai Whiting returns to share—candidly—what happened: sudden metabolic illness, becoming a father, career upheaval, a public rift, and rebuilding meaning from first principles. We talk attachment, grief, diet experiments, masculinity, work identity, and how to live the virtues when theory isn't enough.In this episode:Breaking the silence: why Kai disappeared (02:00)Severe health spiral, hospitalizations, and discovering diabetes (03:30)Losing the bodybuilding identity—and the grief that follows (12:35)Food, mood, and mitochondria: one person's n=1 (18:30) (not medical advice)Stoicism vs. “pure abstraction”: why bodies and sports matter (24:30)On Peterson, bricklaying, and zooming out to purpose (53:20)Leaving academia, starting over in sales, and serving the beehive (49:00, 54:40)Rebuilding a professional identity without losing your soul (1:04:50)Key ideas & takeawaysGrief is Stoic: when you lose an identity (athlete, academic, whatever), you grieve first—then choose your next courageous action.Meet yourself where you are: programs (training or life) must fit your current capacity, not your past PRs or future fantasies.Bodies matter: movement can be a pressure-release valve while the “heat source” (deeper causes) is addressed.Serve the beehive: tie daily tasks to a larger vision; energy savings at a school becomes trees planted and kids learning.Change your mind in public: integrity > consistency; update beliefs when evidence (or life) demands it.ConnectGuest: Kai Whiting — best reached via LinkedIn for sustainability/energy efficiency conversations.Host: Brandon Tumblin — Strong Stoic Podcast, Substack, and socials.Disclaimer: This episode includes one person's health and nutrition experiences and is not medical advice.

What do you do when competitors copy your ideas, wording, or services? In this episode, we share a practical mindset shift: ideas are cheap—execution is everything. We explore how delivery, team training, client experience, and reliability become the differentiators copycats can't replicate. We talk through stability as a strategy, resisting reactive changes, and doubling down on strengths. We close with concrete ways to serve deeper, not louder, so you lead for years—not minutes. Main topics: Copying vs. true execution Delivery as differentiation Stability as a strategy Serve deeper, not louder Training and systems moat Main takeaway: "Because people can copy what you offer. They can't copy who you are." People can copy your prices, your services, even your words—but not you. Your standards, training, reliability, and care are built day after day through consistent delivery. That's the moat no one sees on a webpage. When imitation shows up, don't get reactive—get excellent. Keep serving deeper, refining your systems, and showing up for clients. Consistency beats mimicry every time.

A Prior “Independence Day Devotional” as We Prepare to Celebrate Again - We Must Have a Great Spiritual Awakening that Returns America to God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Will you "Stand in the Gap" and participate in a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America? The signers of the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, began a revolution which led to the formation of the United States of America. This Revolution was rooted in the belief that all people are subject to the rule of God, even the King; and leaders are not above man's law or God's Law. Also, everyone is endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Many people have tried to deny that America's founders created a country which wove together the concept of self-governance with Christian principles. Now, it appears the focus, of many political and church leaders, is to eliminate ideas, laws, policies, and objects that relate America to Christianity, the Bible, or anything that smacks of God. Today, this focus away from God is succeeding. We all need to hear what our founders said regarding America's Christian base. Not long after the enactment of the Constitution in the late 1700s, morality and church attendance declined drastically into a Spiritual Depression. The answer to this 1700s turn away from God became the nationwide implementation of "Concerts of Prayer", across all Christian denominations, which led to an American Spiritual Awakening. Today, through our actions, laws, and cultural revisions of our founding Christian principles, we have told God that we do not want Him around. Therefore, we must consider what God said He would do and what He has done in the past when people have turned away from Him, as told in Psalms 2:1-2,5,10-12: “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed . . . Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying . . . Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.". In the past, as indicated in Psalms 2, God has withdrawn His presence, including His protection and divine wisdom, when people have turned away from Him. God's presence has guided America for so many years, and the withdrawal of God's presence in America would leave us to reap the consequences of our focus away from Him. Also, consider what the Lord said, in Ezekiel 22:30-31: "And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. Therefore, I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned their way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”. However, in Zechariah 1:3 and in many other promises throughout the Bible, God says to his people in the past and to us today: “Therefore say to them, Thus declares the LORD of hosts: ‘Return to me', says the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will return to you', says the LORD of hosts.". Will you "Stand in the Gap”, on behalf of your country, to participate in and lead a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America by returning America to God? We must have a Spiritual Awakening to return America to God. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come this day inviting you to cut those deeply entrenched chains that keep me from being faithful to my true self in Christ. In doing so, may my life be a blessing to many. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 44). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Anger. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Forgiveness. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Sermon by elder Billy Dalton
On this All Saints Day, we remember those who have gone before us this past year, all the while wrestling with some of the hardest teachings of Jesus. We hold up our everyday saints, not as those who have lived perfectly, but as reminders that the Kingdom of God is made up of real people living real lives. May we all work together to bring about the upside-down kingdom God desires on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you again for joining us in worship.

After twelve chapters of action, miracles, and conquest, our journey through the book of Joshua enters a long stretch of mind-numbingly boring descriptions of towns and boundaries. What in the world could the division of the land into tribal territories have to do with us today?In trying to answer that, I began to ask myself some questions: Why did God assign certain people to live in certain places? Was it simply to demonstrate His authority? Or could it be that He had bigger, Kingdom reasons for wanting them there?In my pondering, I came to this conclusion: When it came to occupying ground for the Kingdom, the Lord assigned His people the territory where they could uniquely make an impact.This idea of the Lord sovereignly placing people is carried over to the N.T. where we read that “God began by making one person, and from him came all the different people who live everywhere in the world. God decided exactly when and where they must live.” (Acts 17:26 NCV)I want to suggest that the Lord might well do the same with you and me. Could it be that, of all the places you could be living, you are in the exact place God wants you to be to make a Kingdom impact? What would it be like if, as surely as the tribes of Israel possessed their land, you and your tribe—your family— would possess your land? Your city, your zip code, your neighborhood, your street? How might you make a Kingdom impact in your land?1. Recognize that you have been given a land.God has put you there as His representative. You have been given a land in which you are to represent the Kingdom of God. And, for good or for bad, you do. It's not a matter of if you will represent your King, but how you represent your King. That leads to the next point.2. Honor the Lord in your land.From the words we say to the attitudes we display to the actions we take, we are to glorify the One we represent.3. Pray for your land. Pray for the peace, prosperity, and people of your neighborhood. Take a prayer walk and intercede for individual homes. If there's a nearby school, pray for it. Pray over the fire station. Pray over the parks. Pray over governmental buildings.4. Engage with other believers in your land.While you have been placed in a specific part of the land, you are likely not the only Christ-follower who has been placed there. God has given others that territory as well. Ask the Lord to show you who those people are, then look for ways to engage them in the mission. 5. Seek to impact the unbelievers in your land.Jesus said, “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others so they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Mt. 5:14-15) Be the kind of people your neighbors are glad to live beside. Serve with kindness and sacrifice, and pray for opportunities to have spiritual conversations with those in your land. Text: Joshua 13-21Originally recorded on November 6, 2016, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Title: LowlinessScripture Reading: Philippians 2:3-11Series: The “L” Fruits of JesusHave you ever had a social situation where you had to deal with a one-upper? One-upping, or pride, is the way of the world, but the way of Jesus is the exact opposite: lowliness or humility. Disciples of Jesus are instructed to have the same attitude as Christ. This message explores the "L" fruit of lowliness through three questions:1. What is Humility? Humility is not thinking more of yourself (overt pride/vain conceit) or thinking less of yourself (covert pride/selfish ambition). Rather, humility is thinking accurately and truthfully about yourself.2. How to Practice Humility? We practice humility by having the same attitude as Christ Jesus and making ourselves of no reputation. Jesus made Himself of no reputation by serving, obeying, and dying. We are called to serve others (taking the position of a slave), obey God's plan, and die to ourselves—to our name, reputation, plans, preferences, and desires.3. Why Value Humility? Disciples of Jesus value humility because it is the fruit of life. Pride is the fruit of death, as seen in Adam and Eve's rebellion to spread their own reputation. In contrast, Jesus's perfect humility is our life and our salvation.
Serve with Humility and Love With Brother Denton
As Joshua's life and leadership come to a close, he draws a line in the sand and calls Israel to make a decision: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” In this message, Pastor Derek unpacks Joshua 24 and challenges us to examine what (or who) truly sits on the throne of our hearts. From the faithfulness of God through generations to the idols that quietly capture our devotion, this final chapter in Joshua reminds us that every heart serves a master, and only one can truly satisfy.
We wrap up our series on 2 Timothy this week with the final 4th chapter. Here we learn about Paul's deep faith in God, even in the reality that he will die soon. We learn that God is God no matter what, and that truly is our source of hope as we face things in our lives. This week, please read 2 Timothy 4 every day and see what God is telling you through this powerful, pastoral chapter. Thank you again for joining us in worship.

There are a number of different church leadership structures that exist today. For instance, you have top-down authoritative models similar to how a business is run where you have a CEO doing the wishes of the board and stockholders. Churches with this structure keep a distinction between the “clergy” (who basically run the church) and “laity” (those who are told what to do in the church). If you know anything about Jesus' teaching about the first being last, and the greatest becoming the servant of all, you'll catch pretty quickly how UN-biblical this particular model is.When we study scripture to learn about church leadership, you'll see there is a consistent model Jesus established for us. And since the church has been called the Body of Christ, and the Bride of Christ, and since we belong to Christ, it's probably a good idea to begin with HIS example…

In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into powerful mindsets, flywheel business models, and unconventional strategies for signing and retaining high-end coaching clients. With Road Dog absent, Karl answers key audience questions and shares proven tactics from his own journey building a multimillion-dollar coaching company. Expect candid insights on how to think like billionaire founders, radically improve event conversions, leverage networks, and help clients start simple, profitable businesses that resist disruption—even in the age of AI. Key Topics Covered Thinking Like Billionaire Founders Karl explores how leaders like Jensen Huang (Nvidia) and Jeff Bezos structure their approach to business with an urgent, "always 30 days from going out of business" mindset. He discusses the concept of moving fast, staying ferocious, and viewing every opportunity as a potential river to divert, rather than dam. Flywheel Business Models Karl breaks down why thinking in circles and building business flywheels is crucial. He maps out the flywheel for running live events as a coach: events → attendees → authority → conversions → referrals → (back to) events. The secret isn't just in hosting events—it's filling them, and leveraging every attendee for ongoing referrals and networking. Networking for High-End Clients The episode highlights how to "level up" networking by moving from BNI groups to chambers of commerce, golf clubs, yacht clubs, and exclusive industry organizations. Knowing where your ideal clients spend their time is key. Creation vs. Elevation in Coaching Karl shares why helping ordinary people start simple, franchisable businesses (rather than just elevating existing owners) yields massive rewards. He explains how to choose business types resistant to major competitors and even AI disruption. Buying Ideal Clients If starting over, Karl would buy ideal clients by offering irresistible deals, knowing that repeat business drives profit. He recommends a scaled pricing approach for new clients and gives examples ranging from free first-time services to $0.01 Big Mac campaigns that explode customer acquisition. Lifestyle Flywheel and Planning He discusses the flywheel for lifestyle and success: thoughts → actions → behaviors → lifestyle. Emphasizing that planning and foundational habits—like reading and continuous learning—drive outsized business results. The Power of Learning over Knowing Karl makes the case that continual learning, voracious reading, and careful book selection lead to compounding insights, better instincts, and faster business growth—far more than just the facts you can recite. Notable Quotes "We're always 30 days from going out of business." (Jensen Huang via Karl Bryan) "You don't want to collect stamps—you want to collect crowds." "Funny equals money. You don't have to be a stand-up comedian, just authentically yourself and get a little bit better each time." "You've got to train in private to perform in public. That's Tom Brady 101." "It's more important to learn than to know. Learning is the discipline that reshapes the patterns of your thinking." Actionable Takeaways Think in Flywheels, Not Straight Lines: Map out every client acquisition strategy as a repeatable cycle for compounding results—especially with events. Level Up Your Networking: Graduating from standard business groups to industry clubs and networks where your target clients really spend time boosts your odds of finding high-end prospects. Buy Ideal Clients: Don't be afraid to make offers that lose money up front if you have confidence in your recurring model and results. Scaled pricing creates authority and long-term wins. Serve before You Sell: Lead with value—whether through events, free problem-solving calls, or helpful resources. Authority and referrals flow from helping first. Help Clients Start Simple Businesses: Guide ordinary people to launch "franchisable" businesses they can master quickly—and which large competitors or AI are unlikely to disrupt. Keep Learning and Reading: Choose biographies and "letters to shareholders" from the greats. Focus on reshaping your thinking, not just memorizing facts. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software 2.0 (by Karl Bryan): Tools for coaches to help business owners boost profits without more marketing.

Good morning! On today’s show, Matt Swaim and Anna Mitchell welcome Paul Schrimption, author of “The Most Dangerous Man in England,” to discuss St. John Henry Newman ahead of him being declared a Doctor of the Church and a Patron Saint of Catholic Education this weekend. Other guests include pastoral counselor Kevin Prendergast to discuss a report on the mental health of priests, and Gary Michuta on how St. Paul evangelized. Plus news, weather, sports, and more… ***** Prayer to St. Joseph for the Unemployed Silent and well-known carpenter in Nazareth, model of workers, by the work of your hands you gave your contribution to the work of the Creator, you earned your living, and you provided for the needs of the Holy Family.

Shepherd Community Center Director of Volunteer Engagement Donna Alexander explains how volunteers can serve their neighbors as Thanksgiving and Christmas draw near.
The most generous people give something money can't buy—their time, their presence, and their love.Generosity reaches far beyond finances. It shapes hearts, strengthens families, and builds communities of grace. Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about the long-term impact of generous living.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.A Simple Question That Changes EverythingIf you've ever wondered what true generosity looks like, it's often simpler—and closer to home—than we think. Generosity isn't measured by dollar amounts or estate plans; it's written on the faces and in the actions of people who live with open hearts.In fact, if you ask someone a simple question like this, you will move their hearts more than you know:“Think about the most generous person you know. What do they look like? What's their countenance? Their posture?”Take a moment to picture them. Chances are, their face lights up your mind's eye. They're probably joyful, peaceful, genuine—and not necessarily wealthy. That's because generosity is about heart, not income. It's about presence, not possessions.When we make generosity personal, it changes us. We stop thinking in abstract ideas and start remembering real people who gave freely of themselves—and in doing so, reflected the heart of Christ.When this question is asked, the answers are often the same: a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle—someone who gave of themselves through love, laughter, and listening. These aren't people who built foundations or donated millions. They modeled generosity through steady love and consistency.That's what long-term generosity looks like. It starts at home and grows outward.Redefining Long-Term ImpactWhen we hear “long-term impact,” our minds often jump to wills, trusts, or endowments. Those are important tools, but they're not the whole story. True long-term impact happens when we invest our lives, not just our assets.Every day, we have the chance to sow generosity through acts of service, hospitality, and encouragement. These simple seeds—when planted faithfully—bear fruit that outlasts any financial gift because they grow in people's hearts.If you long to leave a legacy of generosity, start small.Serve one person this week. Ask God to show you where you can listen, encourage, or help.Be steady and intentional. Generosity grows through daily habits, not grand gestures.Practice generosity with time and words. The way you invest relationally today can change someone's tomorrow.Over time, those small acts of faithfulness will shape the kind of life others remember as generous.Generosity is most powerful when it's shared. Families that give together cultivate hearts that reflect God's heart. Take your children with you when you serve at a food pantry. Let them see generosity in action. Talk about giving not as an obligation but as a joyful response to God's grace.A Practical Tool for GivingOne practical way to make giving intentional is through a donor-advised fund—or what our friends at the National Christian Foundation call a Giving Fund. It's like a charitable checking account where you can deposit money now and prayerfully decide later how to distribute it.Opening one is quick and easy, and it's a great way to involve your children or grandchildren in deciding where to give. You can learn more or start one in under five minutes at FaithFi.com/NCF.Generosity Flows Toward PeopleIn the end, generosity isn't about how much we give—it's about who we're becoming. It's not just an act; it's a lifestyle. When our generosity flows toward people instead of possessions, we participate in God's ongoing story of redemption.That's the kind of impact that lasts far beyond our lifetime.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I really want to honor God with my giving. I've been thinking about donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to my local church. Should I split my giving between the two, or focus everything on my church?I called about Qualified Charitable Distributions before, and your explanation helped—but I'm still not sure I understand them. At age 70, it seems like you lose out on any interest or growth from that money, and you can't take a tax deduction. So why would anyone do a QCD at that age? Would it ever make sense to take money from a Roth IRA instead? And are there income levels where a QCD just doesn't make sense?How can I strike the right balance between managing my money wisely and living with radical generosity?I have about $100,000 invested across the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow, but I'm wondering if that's too risky. Would it be safer to put everything into the S&P 500, or is there a better approach? At 76, should I shift more into bonds—and if so, what kind would you recommend?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)National Christian Foundation (NCF)Redeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts by Paul David TrippWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

In this Sunday homily, Fr. Hollowell reflects on Jesus' teaching: “You cannot serve both God and mammon.” Drawing from Scripture and Catholic social teaching, he reminds us that wealth itself is not sinful — but the love of wealth can enslave the heart. Through practical examples and wisdom from the saints, Father challenges us to live with gospel simplicity, to support what's local, and to find peace in generosity and detachment.
Even the smallest acts of love, service, or prayer can have eternal impact. God can multiply a single day into a thousand years' worth of influence! -------- Thank you for listening!

In this week's Riff, Gino asks a question that has been stirring in him lately: are we all meant to serve? What began as a simple conversation opened into a deeper look at purpose, ego, and what truly fulfills us. He shares how the word “serve” has taken on new meaning in his life and challenges listeners to consider what service means to them.Gino explores how service connects to the 10 Disciplines, especially Discipline 3 (Know Thyself) and Discipline 5 (Know Your 100%). Through eight key questions, including “How do you serve?” and “What has life prepared you for?”, he encourages listeners to reconnect with what drives them. Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or sweeping hospital floors, the invitation is the same. Service is not about status; it is about alignment. When we know how we are meant to serve, the noise falls away and our True Self is free to rise.

What do you do when life doesn't make sense, when the answers don't come, and the waiting seems endless? In this week's message, Pastor Ken Senchal challenges us to build staying power—the kind of faith that stands firm when the storm doesn't pass. Through the powerful story of Joseph, we uncover the four anchors that create real consistency: ⚓ Trust God when life doesn't make sense. Even when Joseph was betrayed, sold, and forgotten, he trusted that God was working behind the scenes. What feels like a detour is often divine direction. ⚓ Guard your integrity when no one's watching. Joseph could have compromised, but instead he honored God in private moments that defined his public destiny. Character under pressure reveals who we truly are. ⚓ Serve faithfully wherever God places you. Whether in Potiphar's house, in prison, or in the palace, Joseph worked with excellence as unto the Lord. God promotes those who stay faithful in the unseen places. ⚓ Choose forgiveness over bitterness. Joseph had every right to get even—but instead, he chose to forgive. Forgiveness freed his heart and positioned him for God's greater purpose. This episode will remind you that consistency isn't built in comfort—it's built in the struggle. When you remain faithful through difficulty, God is shaping the strength you'll need for destiny.
