When the people heard of this, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he landed, he saw a large crowd, and he felt compassion for them, healing their sick. Pray that we all— you, us, our team here, and the Joshua Fund— would be moved with compassion for hurting people, those who don't know the love, hope, and healing of Jesus. Pray that the hearts of people across the Middle East and other regions are open to Jesus and that they accept Him as Lord.

When he signed up to join the Gray Defense Force's Human Corps of Volunteers, Sandip “Sandy” Dhaliwal thought he'd be fighting to liberate a fellow primate race from the nihilistic cephalopods. It turned out the Jancalli didn't want to be “liberated” as they've been waging an insurrection ever since the Grays unleashed the Human Corps onto the native population. Serving as an interpreter in the 22nd Canadian Battalion, Sandy is tasked with the care of Dr. Larbra, a high-value prisoner responsible for unleashing a virus onto the human warriors. When their hopper is shot down, Sandy and Dr. Larbra must survive in an unforgiving jungle. It is here where his sworn enemy forces Sandy to face his humanity. If you like our work, you can donate at Mixtapestories.net or at Patreon/MixtapeStories. Thank you!

Giving and Serving - Grant McDaniel by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

Worship Director Justin Jackson continues our series focusing on the women found in Jesus's genealogy.Today, we step into Rahab's story… a story that's both surprising and uncomfortably honest because Rahab isn't who you'd expect to find in the family line of Jesus. Her past is messy. Her life is shaped by a broken culture. And yet, God sees her. He pursues her. He welcomes her in.And I think that's why this story hits so close to home.All of us walk in with something we wish we could rewrite: a mistake, a moment, a season. And Rahab reminds us that God isn't waiting for a cleaner version of us. He meets us right where we are and invites us into something better.So as we hear the message, hold this thought: Your past doesn't get the final say. God does.Thank you for listening to this message from Northwest Hills Community Church in Corvallis, Oregon, on November 30, 2025, at 9:30am.

Matthew 20:17-28

= A New Testament Pastor is a Shepherd (points to his task)= A New Testament Pastor is an Overseer (points to his authority)= A New Testament Pastor is an Elder (points to his maturity) = Hebrews 13:7; 17 - congregation to pastor and pastor to congregation. I. Intensity & Intentionality Required - 1. Flee - Run from the wrong things 2. Pursue - Run to the right things 3. Fight the good fight (I Tim 6:11-12) 4. PO/PO - Ephesians 4 5. Flee - James 4:7 • We run away from sin (sanctification), but Satan runs away from you (submission) II. The Shepherds as Bond-Servants: 1. “Must not be” - “quarrelsome.” • I Timothy 2:8; 3:3; 6:4 • Titus 3:2; Titus 3:9 • II Timothy 2:14; 2:23; 2:24 2. “Must be” - Serving & Discerning • Kind to everyone - (leads to repentance - Romans 2:4) • Able to teach - unique word here and I Timothy 3:2. Ezra 7:10, The hand of the Lord is upon him because He SET HIS HEART to (3): Rigorous study; Regular obedience; Robust teaching. • Not resentful - (patient when wronged). Many commentators noted that this is one of the most difficult challenges of a pastor. What is the key to being faithful to this verse? Making sure ministry is about His Name; His Word; His Will. It's not about us. • Correcting opponents w/ gentleness - (correcting carefully) - Look to Joseph of Genesis and Jesus of Nazareth! Genesis 50:20; I Peter 2:21-23 3. Must Trust God when correcting: We must trust God to change people - We follow His commands • God will grant them repentance • God will lead them to the knowledge of the truth • They will come to their senses - • They will escape from the trap of the devil - “who has taken them captive to do his will.”

How do you hold onto faith when life takes a turn you never expected?On this week's episode of Latter-day Lights, early-returned missionary Kenley Broadbent opens up about the day everything changed on her Peru Lima East mission. What started as occasional migraines spiraled into debilitating dizziness, nausea, and unexplained symptoms that eventually sent her home just nine months into her service.Kenley shares the heartbreak of facing the stigma of being an early returnee, living with chronic illness, and her darkest months when depression made her question her purpose in the world. But through it all, she discusses the scripture in Philippians that stopped her spiral, her simple reminder of “but God.”, and how this ongoing trial has drawn her closer to Christ—even while she still doesn't have all the answers.Scott and Alisha relate through their own family health challenges as the conversation explores how physical trials can impact mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Together, they discuss finding purpose in unexpected paths, accepting service from others, and discovering that God can still work through us—even when life doesn't look the way we planned.*** Please SHARE Kenley's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/HqM4OkHphB0-----To READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

From all of us at Talk About It!, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This week, we are SERVING up a very special episode that will make you want seconds - an incredible story to watch or listen to while you prep your holiday dinner! Greg chats with Peyton DeJardin, a senior at University of California Berkeley and a force on the volleyball court. When she was just a young girl, she developed a self-induced photosensitive epilepsy or "sunflower syndrome" which later turned into Jeavons syndrome which would sometimes cause upwards of 100 small seizures per day. It took years to correctly diagnose her condition as epilepsy, but despite her diagnosis, she has never let it get in her way. Her competitive spirit and positive attitude make her a volleyball star at Cal, and her awareness and resolve help her to inform others about her condition and point out ways in which environments might trigger her or others to have seizures so that changes can be made. They discuss how lighting can be a trigger for photosensitive epilepsy and how she spreads awareness about that in class or on the court, and her epilepsy journey through being a young kid into her adulthood. Greg also revisits a previous interview about Helmets 4 Helmets because of their UC Berkeley connection, and gives many thanks for Thanksgiving along with tips on how to talk about epilepsy at the dinner table this holiday. Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

Are your outreach efforts feeling more like dead ends than real connections? What if the problem isn't what you're doing but how you're approaching people? Hey, it's David Bayliff. If you've dropped off lunches, left notes, and followed up only to hear crickets, you are not alone. In this episode, I break down why those plays miss and the simple shift that opens doors with gatekeepers and ideal clients: make it about them, not you. Here's what we dive into in this episode: The common frustrations clinicians face when trying to engage with gatekeepers Why traditional "drop-by tactics" often fail What it means to "serve first" in real-world scenarios How to nurture leads without feeling salesy Practical ways to provide value and build trust Adjusting expectations of what "success" looks like in outreach   I want you to remember this: relationships take intention. When you stop trying to get something and start aiming to give something, everything changes your results, your conversations, and the energy you bring into each interaction. These small shifts compound over time, and they're what will ultimately help your practice grow.

In this reflective and gratitude-filled episode of Banking on Fraudology, Hailey Windham takes a moment to step back and appreciate the people and themes shaping the fight against fraud, delivering a "giant serving of gratitude" for the community.The conversation dives into the industry's evolution, highlighting how innovation and collaboration are aligning to create a powerful, transformative moment in fraud prevention. Hailey also shares personal highlights from a recent major industry event and spotlights the leaders who are making a significant impact.Key Takeaways: Gratitude, Collaboration, and the Future of Fraud FightingEmpathy is Not Optional: Hailey stresses that empathy must be recognized as a core fraud prevention strategy. Inspired by Kathy Stokes of AARP and the "Words Matter campaign," the episode emphasizes that if we shame victims, we protect fraudsters, and we must talk about victims with dignity.The End of Siloed Intelligence: Collaboration is no longer optional; we fight better when we fight together. Hailey discusses conversations with innovators like Robbie from Sardine, who advocate for collective intelligence, shared signals, and bringing smaller institutions into the fold.Innovation is Working For Us: Drawing on insights from Andrea at Old Glory Bank, Hailey asserts that this is the best time to fight fraud, as technology, data, and awareness are aligning, and tools are evolving quickly. Fraud fighters should start embracing tech and AI resources.Spotlight on Industry Leaders: Hailey expresses gratitude for the impact of numerous leaders, including Jen (America's Credit Unions) for empowering frontline teams with quarterly fraud trainings, Mark Solomon (IAFCI) for his global perspective , and Trisha Stoner (Carolinas Chapter IAFCI) whom Hailey is honored to serve as Second VP under.Honoring Courage and Legacy: The episode shares moving highlights from the Carolinas IAFCI Conference, including the creation of a Community Service Award and the naming of the Gavin Guffey Cyber Investigator of the Year award. This new award honors the legacy of Gavin Guffey and the advocacy of House Representative Brandon Guffey in the fight against online exploitation and sextortion.The State of the Fraud Fighter: The biggest theme resonating with every guest is that fraud fighters are exhausted, but hopeful. That combination of determination and optimism is what is creating movement.Get in the mood of being grateful and be reminded of how strong the fraud-fighting community truly is.

Leaders Who Create Compassion: Join Jason Squires as he sits down with Drew Trowbridge, a high schooler from Santa Cruz, CA, who turned a simple idea into years of steady, meaningful impact in his local community. What started as a lemonade stand grew into a movement of compassion, generosity, and collaboration. In this episode, Jason and Drew talk about where the heart for helping others really begins, how to rally people around a vision, and why age has nothing to do with the size of the difference you can make. Drew shares how his understanding of compassion has matured over the years, what it looks like when kindness becomes a lifestyle, and why small ideas, when acted on, can become something bigger than you ever imagined.Whether you're a student, leader, or someone wondering if your idea matters, this conversation will inspire you to start right where you are and serve the community in front of you.

You ever have the feeling what you see on the news and socials is exactly and only what they want you to hear? Yeah, me too. Turns out it's true. Very rarely do you get the full story so you can make your own informed decisions. And, this practice is skewing and distorting the way we view and interact with the world. My guest today, Jeremy Carey – Founder of IRONCLAD, knows exactly what this is about and in his new series (partnered with Shawn Ryan), Target Intelligence: Psyop, they unpack exactly how this is happening in every aspect of life. We talk about what he calls the "Forgotten Audience" and the "Doer Class," the power of telling good stories – accurately, why authenticity is the key to success in an inauthentic world, and understanding the "Education-to-Entertainment" ratio in consuming content.

We are truly honored to speak with Kate Patay today.  Kate is a true leader in our industry who excels professionally and consistently gives back in meaningful ways. She is a media engagement strategist, event design and production expert, international speaker, mentor, connector, and travel enthusiast who serves as the Vice President of Global Engagement at Terramar, a DCM company, and chairwoman of the SEARCH Foundation. She is also a proud Swiftie! Stay tuned to hear about her remarkable journey and the insights she's gained along the way. Kate's Path Into the Events Industry Kate stumbled into the events world expecting to pursue a different career, but quickly realized that the work was in her blood. She began in food and beverage, moved through catering, hotels, and vendor roles, and ultimately launched her own firm, where she specialized in strategy and growth for small businesses and built a trusted global network. After collaborating with Terramar for years, the company invited her to join the team. The role aligned perfectly with her values, and three-and-a-half years later, she still feels deeply fulfilled, energized, and grateful to be part of a team that makes her smile every day. Joining Terramar Kate emphasizes the importance of values alignment, shared commitment to service, and honest conversations about expectations. For her, the biggest hurdle was navigating change management, but she believes that when change is rooted in doing the right thing, people ultimately get on board. Embracing Change  Growth only happens when we step beyond comfort and into uncertainty. Kate describes fear as a signal that something bigger is coming. She explains that transformation lives just beyond the point of discomfort. Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Journey Kate pushed for additional testing after receiving a clear mammogram. Doctors found two cancerous masses, leading to a double mastectomy and multiple follow-up surgeries due to complications, and a third surgery, which required traveling to a specialist with only 96 hours' notice. Thirteen days later, she stepped onto the IMEX stage to present. Her cancer is now clear, and she awaits final confirmation in January to officially begin her cancer-free countdown. Mindset, Support, and Self-Care Kate highlights the importance of putting yourself first. She encourages regular checkups, not dismissing symptoms, and making your health a priority. Support systems mattered a lot to her in her healing process, with colleagues who protected her privacy, stepped in to help, and ensured her work never suffered while she recovered. The SEARCH Foundation The SEARCH Foundation supports meeting and event professionals experiencing catastrophic illness, natural disasters, and other crises. The foundation began in 1997 during the AIDS epidemic and has expanded globally. Kate has served as board chair for six years and has recommitted for a third term because she sees so many lives transformed by this safety net. SEARCH is funded entirely by industry professionals, from monthly donors to students contributing just a few dollars.

Episode 97Let's get super honest about how easy it is to glide through December on autopilot—busy schedules, endless to-dos, and all the “must-have” traditions that sometimes leave little room for Jesus Himself. We like to break it down into two simple, intentional ways to keep Christ at the center this year: ✨ Practical additions at home that help you weave faith into everyday moments, and ✨ Serving outside your home in ways that lift your eyes beyond your own checklist and toward the needs of others. You'll hear tips and real-life examples that help you slow down, check your attitude toward holiday busyness, and take steps to be more present with God and the people you love. If you're craving a Christ-focused Christmas, not just a busy one, this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and easy starting points. Press play and let's make space for Jesus this season… on purpose.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that as true believers, the Holy Spirit was given to us to equip us for ministry, and to edify the church. Serving others should be our passion, no matter if it's digging ditches, mission work, or helping wherever we're called.

On this episode, Lead From Who You Are, Not From What You Do, Benjamin speaks straight to the core of who you are. We're living in a time with more noise, more pressure, and more confusion than ever and at the center of it all is an identity crisis most people don't even realize they're in. You'll learn a simple, but powerful framework that will help you move from confusion to confidence. You'll understand how God forms leaders in the quiet places, not the spotlight. And you'll walk away with practical steps and real assignments to anchor your identity, strengthen your character, and step boldly into your calling. Whether you're a college student figuring out your future or a seasoned leader carrying responsibility - this episode will ground you, guide you, and remind you who you really are.Episode Quote: "When your life stays rooted in Jesus, everything changes. You stop living shaken by circumstances and start living anchored by truth. Your strength doesn't come from what's happening around you, it flows from Who is living within you. And when you choose to serve people every single day, you step into the very heartbeat of God. Serving isn't small - it's kingdom impact in motion. It's how you shine light in dark places, heal broken spaces, and carry hope into rooms that desperately need it. Stay rooted. Stay surrendered. Stay available. God will use a life like that to change the world."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

Keith Santangelo joins Wil in-studio to trace his journey from growing up in a Cajun-Italian butcher/grocery family in Baton Rouge to owning New York City restaurants, leading major restaurant groups, and now serving independents through AccessWave. They reminisce about Keith being one of Schedulefly's earliest customers, talk about the magic of independent restaurants as “third places” (with Seinfeld's diner as a touchstone), and unpack how the industry's resilience showed up during COVID. Keith walks through selling his Hell's Kitchen spots before the pandemic, stewarding scratch-kitchen concept Jose Tejas/Border Café through the shutdowns, then running operations and finance for Serafina's global group and navigating licensing vs franchising abroad. From there, he explains why he pivoted from opening more restaurants to building an insurance and benefits solution specifically for hospitality, bringing a “unreasonable hospitality” mindset to a traditionally cold, transactional world. Throughout, they dig into tech overload, the adoption gap between shiny features and what teams actually use, the power of real implementation support, and why everyone should work in a restaurant at least once. The episode lands on family, balance, and why serving independent restaurants still sits at the center of Keith's life and work. 10 Takeaways Hospitality in the DNA – Keith's love for small, family businesses started in his grandfather's meat market and grocery stores, where he quickly gravitated to the front-of-house and guests. Independent restaurants as “home base” – From Seinfeld's diner to neighborhood spots like Pie's Eye, they're the community living rooms where people gather, talk, and feel known. Early Schedulefly believer – Keith adopted Schedulefly around 2008 at Planet Hollywood, brought it to his own restaurants, and has stayed connected to Wil and the brand ever since. Owning and selling in NYC – He co-owned Bourbon Street Bar & Grill and Brazen Tavern in Hell's Kitchen, later selling—partly to be more present with family—and, unknowingly, just ahead of COVID. How deals actually get done – Restaurant valuations often center on a multiple of EBITDA plus lease/liquor-license realities, but in practice many sales hinge on relationships and trusted partners. COVID as a resilience test – At Jose Tejas/Border Café, a 100% dine-in scratch concept with zero to-go, the team reimagined operations from the ground up and came out stronger. Scaling with Serafina – Running ops and finance for a 22-unit, $100M+ Italian group taught Keith the complexity of global growth, including why international licensing can beat franchising. The tech adoption gap – Many operators pay for enterprise tools but use a fraction of the features; if you're only using 20% of the value, you shouldn't be paying 100% of the bill. Hospitality belongs in “boring” sectors – With AccessWave, Keith is importing restaurant-style hospitality into insurance and benefits, aiming to be a true partner, not just a broker. Family as the why – Behind all the big roles and decisions is Keith's desire to provide for and be present with his wife and four kids—while still serving an industry that “saved” so many lives.

There are seasons in life when we feel full—full of gratitude, strength, purpose, and blessing—and seasons when we feel painfully empty. In our daily prayer and devotional, Keri Eichberger reflects honestly on times when life seemed to drain every ounce of energy, joy, and margin she had. In moments like these, even thinking about blessing others can feel impossible. Yet God’s Word calls us to a beautiful truth: sharing is not about abundance—it’s about obedience.Scripture reminds us that even the smallest act of kindness is precious in God’s sight. Luke 21:1–4 records Jesus watching a poor widow give two tiny coins in the temple treasury. Though her gift was the smallest, Jesus declared it the greatest because she gave out of her need, trusting God with everything she had. This story reminds us that we never give “too little” when we offer what we have to God. Even if all we feel we can give is a gentle smile, a kind word, a short prayer, or a helping hand, God can take small offerings and multiply them into abundance. And as we share—even from places of weakness—we often find unexpected strength returning to our souls. When we bless others, God restores us.When we pour out, He fills us again.When we give a little, He turns it into more than enough. Whether you feel full or empty today, God invites you to share His blessings—especially the simple ones. Every act of generosity reflects His heart and brings Him great pleasure. Today's Bible Reading:“And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” – Hebrews 13:16 Takeaway Truths God desires that we share His blessings—even when we feel we have little. The smallest acts of kindness can be the greatest offerings in God’s eyes. Giving refreshes the giver; God pours back what we pour out. True generosity flows not from abundance, but from trust. Let’s Pray Lord God, You are the one from whom all blessings flow. I confess that at times I can’t see all Your goodness under the shadow of life’s heaviness, and I struggle to share from what little I feel I have. But just as You delight in blessing me, You also desire that I bless others, even in small ways. Help me to become more aware of Your blessings. Give me courage to share what You’ve given—whether much or little. Thank You for the way You multiply every offering and for the fullness You return to my heart when I obey You. Turn my little into a lot, for Your glory and for the good of others. In Your praiseworthy name, Amen.
