Servants Meeting @ St. George Coptic Orthodox Church - Tampa, FL ~ June 14, 2026

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning. Scott Brown is an attractions marketing leader with a career that spans family entertainment centers, digital solutions for attractions, and nearly a decade leading marketing initiatives for Family Entertainment Group. From working at miniature golf courses as a teenager to becoming a GM and marketing executive, Scott has built his career around creating memorable experiences and helping attractions connect emotionally with guests. Throughout the conversation, he reflects on the intersection of service, operations, and marketing, while sharing lessons learned from both leadership and frontline experience. In this interview, Scott talks about being an ambassador for service, how everything is marketing, and serving your niche. Being an ambassador for service “Excellent service is easy to understand, but it is very difficult to execute.” Scott explains that his passion for guest service was heavily inspired by his admiration for the Disney parks and their ability to create emotional connections with guests. Early in his leadership career, he immersed himself in service training philosophies and focused on teaching teams not only what to do, but why service matters. He emphasizes that excellent service is easy to understand but difficult to execute consistently because it requires leadership commitment, operational alignment, and emotional buy-in from employees. He also discusses how scalable service culture cannot rely solely on slogans or surface-level friendliness. Instead, it must be embedded into leadership behaviors and daily operations. Scott believes that service starts with leaders who genuinely care about their teams, understand employee challenges, and reinforce the broader vision behind the guest experience. By doing so, organizations create teams that continue delivering exceptional experiences even during difficult or stressful moments. Everything is marketing “Everything is marketing and marketing is everything.” Scott describes marketing as far more than advertisements, coupons, or social media campaigns. In his view, every guest touchpoint contributes to the marketing of an attraction, from the condition of the parking lot to the attitude of frontline employees. He explains that marketing and guest service are inseparable because marketing creates expectations while operations and service fulfill them. He shares that the strongest organizations intentionally align their messaging with the actual emotional experience guests will have on-site. When marketing promises one experience but operations fail to deliver it, the organization damages trust. Conversely, even attractions with weak advertising can generate powerful word-of-mouth marketing if the guest experience exceeds expectations. Scott repeatedly returns to the importance of emotion and “feel,” explaining that the best marketing communicates how guests will feel during the experience, not simply what they will buy. Serving your niche “If you want to be something for everybody, you're going to be something for nobody.” Scott believes one of the biggest mistakes attractions make is trying to appeal to everyone instead of identifying a distinct audience and emotional position in the marketplace. He explains that attractions are not simply competing against businesses with similar offerings, but against every experience that competes for guests' discretionary time and money. Using an example from his work with an entertainment center in Massachusetts, Scott describes how his team focused on positioning the venue as the place “where fun families come to compete and play.” He explains that the phrase was intentionally crafted to shape both the attraction's messaging and the emotional identity of the guests they hoped to attract. By clearly defining the type of guest experience they wanted to create, the organization was able to communicate more authentically and differentiate itself from competitors. Scott believes the most successful organizations are the ones that deeply resonate with a specific audience rather than attempting to broadly appeal to everyone.   Scott can be reached on LinkedIn, as well as by email at browngator1@gmail.com.

Detailed Sermon Summary “Standing Where God Made a Way” Pastor Bryan Hudson, D.Min. Part 5 of the “Rooted & Grounded”  Watch the 14 minute video: "The Road to Juneteenth" Pastor Bryan Hudson's sermon, “Standing Where God Made a Way,” connects the biblical account of Israel crossing the Jordan River in Joshua 4 with the historical meaning of Juneteenth. The central message is that believers, families, communities, and nations must remember the places where God brought deliverance, because remembrance preserves gratitude, identity, wisdom, and responsibility. The sermon begins by framing Juneteenth as more than a national holiday. It is presented as a memorial of deliverance and a reminder that God makes a way where there is no way. Dr. Hudson connects Juneteenth to the broader biblical theme of God delivering people from bondage, especially Israel's deliverance from Egypt and later their crossing into the Promised Land. He also references his video, “The Road to Juneteenth,” which traces the journey from emancipation declared to freedom enforced. Joshua 4: Remembering the Crossing The primary Scripture is Joshua 4:1–11, where God commands Joshua to have twelve men, one from each tribe of Israel, take twelve stones from the Jordan River after the people crossed on dry ground. These stones were to be set up as a memorial so that future generations would ask, “What do these stones mean?” The answer would preserve the story of how God cut off the waters of the Jordan and brought His people through. Dr. Hudson explains that this crossing parallels the Red Sea crossing under Moses forty years earlier. In both cases, God removed a barrier that His people could not remove on their own. The Jordan River was not always deep, but it did flood seasonally. God stopped the waters so Israel could cross, then instructed them to take stones from the riverbed—stones that were normally hidden—and make them visible as a testimony. A key insight is that the stones were not objects of worship. They were reminders of the God who acted. The stones pointed beyond themselves to God's power, faithfulness, and deliverance. Juneteenth as a Stone of Remembrance Dr. Hudson then connects Joshua's stones to Juneteenth. Just as Israel needed memorial stones to remember deliverance, African Americans and the nation need Juneteenth as a memorial of freedom delayed, freedom enforced, and freedom remembered. He explains that the Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862 and took effect on January 1, 1863, but freedom was not fully enforced in Texas until June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston and announced General Order No. 3. This shows one of the sermon's major historical lessons: freedom declared is not always freedom practiced. Justice often requires enforcement. Juneteenth, therefore, is not merely a celebration. It is a memorial, an educational moment, and a call to remember both God's deliverance and the human struggle required for justice. Theological Foundation: Human Dignity and the Image of God A major theological point in the sermon is that all people are made in the image and likeness of God. Because of this, no person or group has the right to dominate, dehumanize, enslave, or exploit another. Dr. Hudson emphasizes the importance of saying “enslaved people” rather than simply “slaves.” To call someone a slave can make bondage sound like their identity. But their true identity is that they were human beings made in God's image who were enslaved by others. This point becomes the moral foundation for the sermon's critique of slavery, racism, domination, and exploitation. Slavery was especially evil because it involved humans made in God's image enslaving other humans made in God's image. A Sober View of American History The sermon also calls for honesty about American history. Dr. Hudson says Juneteenth should never have been necessary. If the nation had truly lived up to biblical principles from the beginning, enslaving Africans would never have been tolerated. He notes that the founders debated slavery and compromised in order to form the nation. Some opposed slavery, while others wanted to preserve it because of the economic benefits of free labor. That compromise, he explains, carried a terrible cost and eventually helped lead to the Civil War. Dr. Hudson does not reject love for the nation, but he urges listeners to avoid “rosy narratives” that ignore the blood, suffering, and injustice woven into the nation's history. The proper response is gratitude mixed with sobriety, remembrance, and responsibility. God Still Makes a Way The sermon repeatedly returns to the message that there are always barriers to cross. God parted the Red Sea under Moses. God stopped the Jordan River under Joshua. God made a way for enslaved people through emancipation and enforcement. And God still makes a way for His people today. Dr. Hudson says that today's breakthroughs may not always look as dramatic as the Red Sea or Jordan crossings, but the principle remains the same: when God brings people through obstacles, they should remember, testify, and move forward in faith. Memorials Are Educational Another key theme is that memorials are meant to teach. In Joshua 4, the stones were designed to provoke questions from children. When the children asked what the stones meant, the older generation was responsible to explain God's deliverance. Dr. Hudson applies this to holidays such as Juneteenth, Thanksgiving, Easter, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and others. These are not merely days off or occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to educate, remember sacrifice, and pass meaning to the next generation. He warns that routines, celebrations, and comfort can obscure legacy. People can enjoy the benefits of history without remembering the sacrifice that made those benefits possible. Therefore, remembrance must be intentional. Standing Where God Made a Way The title phrase, “Standing Where God Made a Way,” captures the sermon's central conviction. Dr. Hudson teaches that many of us are living in places of blessing that exist because God worked through previous generations. We are standing on ground made possible by God's intervention, people's prayers, sacrifices, faith, courage, and perseverance. This applies personally, spiritually, historically, and nationally. We stand where parents, grandparents, ancestors, saints, activists, soldiers, and faithful servants endured hardship so future generations could live differently. Twelve Contemporary Stones of Remembrance Near the end, Dr. Hudson gives twelve “stones” that people and families can set up as memorials today. These are practices and places that help preserve memory, identity, and gratitude: Education — learning the truth and teaching it to others. Vicarious living — learning through the lives and experiences of others rather than repeating their mistakes. Identification — seeing oneself connected to faithful and courageous people from the past. Honoring — highly valuing parents, elders, ancestors, and those who made sacrifices. Testimony — telling what God has done personally and collectively. Studying history — learning the real story, not only simplified or sanitized versions. Serving others — turning remembrance into action. Shared experience — building memories and meaning together as families and communities. Museums — places such as Freetown Village that preserve and teach history. Family gatherings — moments that connect generations. Anniversaries — recurring opportunities to remember God's faithfulness. Juneteenth — a national and spiritual stone of remembrance that points to deliverance, justice, and responsibility. These “stones” help people stay rooted. They prevent forgetfulness. They help connect the present generation to legacy and history. Final Exhortation The sermon closes with a call to preserve memories that are worth preserving. Dr. Hudson urges listeners to be intentional with their children, grandchildren, families, and communities. If people do not connect present blessings with past deliverance, they may lose their way in the future. The final prayer thanks God for His goodness, for ancestors and heroes known and unknown, and for the fact that we are standing where God made a way. The prayer also asks God to help His people remember, honor, educate, and never take His blessings—or the people He used—for granted. Core Message The sermon's core message is: God makes a way through impossible barriers, and His people must remember where He brought them from. Memorials—whether stones, holidays, testimonies, museums, family stories, or historical observances like Juneteenth—help us honor God, educate future generations, and move forward without forgetting the sacrifices that made our present blessings possible.

Serendipity Bookstore, a popular spot in Chelsea, Michigan, needed to expand. The owner found a building twice the size just a block away. She wanted to make the move quickly instead of closing the store for days and boxing up all the books. So she requested help from the community. More than three hundred people showed up! They stood shoulder to shoulder forming a human conveyor belt and passed the books from one person to the next, moving 9,100 books in just under two hours. The owner said, “[The bookstore] is really a part of the community, and [the people] have ownership.” They all enthusiastically worked side by side. When Nehemiah, a Jew who was the trusted cupbearer to the Persian king, learned that the wall surrounding Jerusalem lay in shambles, he cried out for God’s guidance (Nehemiah 1:3-11). The Babylonians had destroyed the walls in 587 bc. After investigating, Nehemiah recruited help from the community. He said to the Jewish leaders, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins . . . . Come, let us rebuild the wall” (2:17). Chapter 3 describes how leaders and citizens alike willingly repaired the section of the wall that was right in front of each one. They worked side by side. We too can impact our community by serving together under God’s direction and in His strength.

Samuel Bateman is incarcerated in a federal facility serving a fifty-year sentence. He maintains regular telephone contact with followers. A meaningful number of the women and girls removed from his FLDS offshoot — including individuals Christine Marie personally helped extract — have reportedly returned to his sphere of influence. Adult wives continue to identify him as their prophet. The conviction and sentence have not disrupted his operational control over the belief system he constructed.The pattern has direct precedent. Warren Jeffs has maintained influence over FLDS members from a Texas prison cell for over a decade. Bateman is replicating the same dynamic with the same psychological infrastructure — what Christine Marie characterizes as an "IV of indoctrination" delivered through regular telephone contact.Christine Marie addresses what she has learned about the content of Bateman's prison communications with followers. She identifies the division between women who have permanently separated from the group and those who have returned — and the social consequences for those who left, including potential reclassification as fallen or as enemies of the faith. She confronts the clinical and moral question she returns to repeatedly: whether some adults who have been conditioned within high-control religious environments from birth can be reached through intervention, or whether some individuals are functionally unable to construct identity outside coercive structures.Short Creek remains structurally intact. The theology, the isolation mechanisms, and the obedience hierarchy that produced both Jeffs and Bateman continue to operate. Robin Dreeke and Shavaun Scott examine why the FLDS persists when comparable organizations — NXIVM, Peoples Temple — collapsed following their leaders' removal. They address Faith Bistline's circumstances — having lost her family to Bateman and now raising the children affected by his conduct. They evaluate what intervention methods demonstrate efficacy with children in high-control religious environments and the competing harms of removal versus continued exposure. Both experts address directly whether the conditions at Short Creek are likely to produce another leader operating on the same model — or whether the community possesses the capacity to interrupt the cycle.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Michèle Hecken, the hardest thing in growing a small business is cash flow. She explains that even when a business appears successful, owners constantly face decisions about where to invest money, whether new initiatives will generate returns, and how to maintain enough cash reserves to navigate uncertainty. Michèle believes that managing consistent cash flow is critical because it gives business owners the flexibility to experiment, survive challenges, and continue growing without putting the company at risk. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Michèle Hecken's favorite business book is Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott. She says the book had a significant impact on how she led her business, particularly in the areas of communication, feedback, and team culture. Michèle values its practical approach to having honest conversations, addressing issues early, and giving constructive feedback effectively. The book influenced her so much that she referenced some of its concepts and tools in her own book about helping entrepreneurs build businesses that can run without them. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Michèle Hecken recommends learning from a variety of sources rather than relying on a single resource. One podcast she particularly enjoys is the The Mel Robbins Podcast, praising Mel Robbins for her practical insights on mindset and personal growth. She also highly recommends John Warrillow and his podcast Built to Sell Radio, which features valuable lessons from business owners who have successfully scaled and exited their companies. Beyond podcasts, Michèle emphasizes continuous learning through books, coaching, entrepreneurial communities, and implementing what you learn, noting that the real value comes not from consuming information but from applying it to your business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Michèle Hecken shares that the number one tool to grow a small business is your mindset. She believes that without the right mindset, even the best tools and strategies will fail you. She also highly recommends Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott for building honest communication and a strong team culture. Above all, she encourages every entrepreneur to trust themselves and filter every resource through the lens of what truly works for their own business. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Michèle Hecken shares that the advice she would give herself on day one of starting out in business is to trust yourself because you already know what the right thing is to do. She reflects that even though everyone told her she was crazy for doing things differently, her instincts always led her in the right direction. She also emphasizes giving yourself permission to be courageous and not spending too much money on consultants who may not always know your business better than you do.

When Jenna Mazzillo started sharing parenting content online, she wasn't trying to build a business. She simply wanted to help parents.Fast forward a few years, and she's built an audience of more than half a million followers, launched a successful parenting course, and recently left her career in education to pursue her business full time.In this week's episode, we talk about parenting, boundaries, business building, content creation, and why serving people at the highest level is often the best marketing strategy there is. We discuss the mindset shift that helped Jenna become comfortable selling her course, why providing massive value for free has become a core part of her business philosophy, and why showing up consistently matters more than waiting until you feel ready. Whether you're a parent, sleep consultant, entrepreneur, or any combination of the three, this conversation is packed with practical advice and a refreshing reminder that the only way to succeed is to be humble enough to be new at something again. Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abanaturallyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@abanaturallyStan Store: https://stan.store/abanaturallyIf you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

According to the National Literacy Institute, nearly 40% of American students are not reading at a basic proficiency level, while more than one in four adults possess literacy skills at or below a basic level. Combined with post-pandemic learning loss, these statistics highlight the urgent need for innovative, evidence-based approaches to education. Recent results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as The Nation's Report Card, show that reading achievement continues to decline nationwide, with average reading scores for both 4th and 8th-grade students falling between 2022 and 2024. These trends have educators, families, and policymakers searching for solutions that can help students succeed in an increasingly complex world. My guest today is Justin Hassan, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for Uplift Education, the largest free public charter school network in North Texas. Serving more than 23,000 students across 20 campuses in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, Uplift Education has built a reputation for academic excellence, with 100% of its graduates earning acceptance to college. Justin is passionate about improving student outcomes and ensuring access to high-quality education for all learners. Throughout his career, he has helped increase the percentage of students performing at grade level by 18% and improved student performance on nationally normed literacy assessments by 9% year over year. His work is grounded in research-based instructional practices and a commitment to educational equity. In this conversation, Justin and I discuss the state of literacy in America, the challenges facing today's students and educators, the role of curriculum and instruction in improving outcomes, and what it truly means to provide every child with a modern, meaningful, and equitable education. We also explore how schools can foster a lifelong love of learning while preparing students for success in college, careers, and an ever-changing global marketplace.   For more information: https://uplifteducation.org/ Email: juhassan@uplifteducation.org LinkedIn: @JustinHassan   Learn more about your ad choices.

The Beauty and the Beast of Serving explores both the blessing and burden of serving God.At the wedding in Cana, the governor didn't know where the miraculous wine came from, but the servants did. Serving gives us access to moments and revelations others may never see. Yet that privilege comes with pressure and the challenge of keeping our motives pure.Servants may not receive the recognition, but they have the privilege of witnessing God's work firsthand. The beauty of serving is seeing God's glory; the danger is forgetting who it belongs to.

Serving others, not judging- Jesus had to refocus the attention of the disciples, who were spending a little too much time comparing themselves to others. We need to remain humble, daily examining our own hearts, and let God be the judge of others.

Generosity sounds great in theory, but when it comes down to practicing it, there can be tension. Vacations, home projects, dinners out…all SO tempting. But James reminds us of what’s important—helping people in need. On our own, we may not be able to do much, but together, we can do a lot.
