This week host Elizabeth Emery is talking to Karen Heintz, a starting point guard, with the Houston Angels of the Women's Basketball League (WBL), which was founded in 1978. In that inaugural year of the league, the Angels won the Championship over the Iowa Cornets.  Before playing with the Angels, Karen walked onto Texas A&M in 1974, then transferred to Baylor as a sophomore. She is still in the record books at both schools in rebounding and scoring. Karen is also one of the early female athletes to receive an athletic college scholarship.  In the episode, Karen tells all those stories and we'll hear what it was like to play in the WBL, Karen's memories from those days, what she was paid, plus her thoughts on the current momentum in women's sports. We also talk about coaching because Karen has been teaching and coaching for 47 years.

4.27.25 | "Your Breaking Point Is God's Starting Point: The Sky Is Always The Limit" | Rev. Judah Williams by The Rock Church of Fort Myers

In this message, Pastor Kenneth Mulkey explores the heart of biblical restoration and how God desires to bring healing and wholeness to every area of our lives. Through the stories of Job and the Shunammite woman, we see how God restores what is lost, broken, or missing—sometimes giving back more than we ever imagined. Be encouraged to trust in God's goodness and believe that restoration is not just possible, but promised.

In this episode of the Starting Point podcast, Jay Seegert welcomes Dr. Chris Rupe to discuss the controversial topic of human evolution, focusing on the famous fossil known as Lucy. Dr. Rupe shares his background in biology and geology, detailing his journey from doubt to confidence in the biblical account of creation. The conversation delves into the evidence surrounding Lucy, challenging traditional views and exploring the implications for understanding human origins from a biblical perspective. In this conversation, Dr. Christopher Rupe discusses the anatomical features of Lucy's hip, the implications of her reconstruction, and presents the Pygmy Human Hypothesis, arguing that Lucy was a small-bodied human rather than an ape. He highlights the significance of the knee joint and other features that align with human anatomy, challenging the traditional views of human evolution and suggesting that both Lucy and the Hobbit represent a population of pygmy humans. The discussion concludes with resources for further exploration of these ideas and the implications for understanding human origins.

Send us a textWayne Turmel, a fellow Canadian and podcast host, an author, and consultant for the Kevin Eikenberry Group, joins Trench Leadership to share hard-earned wisdom about creating high-performing teams across distances in our transformed work landscape. As a remote work pioneer, Wayne offers a refreshingly pragmatic perspective that cuts through the noise surrounding return-to-office debates.The conversation explores Wayne's 3-O Model of Leadership, which balances Outcomes, Others, and Ourselves. This framework helps leaders navigate the complexities of managing remote teams while avoiding burnout. For leaders navigating hybrid work arrangements, Wayne's advice is refreshingly straightforward: focus on the work that needs doing rather than where it happens. By approaching team design with intentionality and listening to employee needs, leaders can create more effective, engaged teams regardless of physical location. The key is pausing to think strategically rather than rushing back to familiar patterns.Wayne's Links:1. www.KevinEikenberry.com2. www.longdistanceteambook.com3. https://www.linkedin.com/in/wayneturmel/4. wayne@kevineikenberry.com5.

Dr. Werner presents evidence of misrepresentation and fraud surrounding key figures and fossils, including Lucy and Homo habilis, ultimately arguing that the theory of evolution has collapsed due to these revelations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of educating the next generation on these issues to prevent the loss of faith and understanding in scientific discourse.

Starting is messy. Starting is scary. Starting is sometimes fuelled by beer and a McDonald's. But starting is also where the good stuff begins.In this solo episode, Michelle serves up a straight-talking reminder that you don't need to feel ready to begin — you just need to begin. Drawing on Brene Brown's infamous “arena” analogy and a knockout story from Muay Thai fighter Christina, this is a bold nudge (ok, shove) for anyone stuck on the sidelines waiting for the perfect moment.Spoiler: the perfect moment doesn't exist. The only thing holding you back is the illusion of readiness and a fear of looking daft. But daft is temporary — regret lasts a hell of a lot longer."Maybe I should wait until I'm more prepared." No. You should stop hiding behind a to-do list and step into your arena — messy, scrappy, and unapologetically unready.Key Takeaways:Judging is easier than doing — but doing is where you grow.Your first step doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to happen.Christina's story is a masterclass in doing it anyway — even if you've got no cornerman and a belly full of Big Mac.The longer you wait, the harder it gets — and the more chances you miss.You don't need confidence to start.

Nancy Pearcey, in her book Total Truth, brought something into focus that I had thought about but hadn't quite got together. She observed that a common weakness of evangelism is that we start with redemption. It's true, especially among evangelicals. When there is an altar call at the end of a sermon, it can't help but control the entire sermon. The object is to bring the sinner home. Evangelism starts with redemption.I have commented before about the signs we used to see on the sides of barns, and in neon lights on top of a temple in downtown Los Angeles: Jesus Saves. Yes, but what does that mean? Saves from what? Saves for what? What do you mean by that? I have heard Billy Graham cry out, Christ is the answer. Does anyone ever ask, Yes, but what was the question?Christian evangelism seemed to me to be all bound up in their own jargon. It is good that, in spite of all that, they found enough people who felt they needed saving from something and came to accept Christ. And some of these people experienced a changed life as a result.Nothing I am going to say here, and nothing Ms. Pearcey says, should diminish the idea of redemption in the least. That said, she advanced a kind of framework for a worldview composed of three elements: Creation, The Fall, Redemption. Her argument is that the place evangelism should start is not with redemption. It should start with creation. For without this truth at the foundation, nothing else means anything.Unless you believe in the creation, the idea of a fall is meaningless, and so is redemption. Man is just a terrible accident that the universe would have been better off without—except, without creation, there is no better or worse.

Pastor Travis discusses the starting point for prayer, and how if you can learn to be still it will help you develop a more formative prayer life.

Starting Point Pt.5 by

Grace always exceeds law, and yet for too long, many of us have ignored the law's starting point. Those who embrace this starting point and strive to exceed it tap into a level of faith and freedom few find.

Las nuevas medidas contra la inmigración de la segunda administración Trump han puesto en alerta a la comunidad latinoamericana en Estados Unidos. En muchos lugares se organizan para compartir información sobre sus derechos y ayudarse, como ocurre en Chicago, donde una iglesia y su pastor se han convertido en ejemplo.  El pastor Marvin del Ríos, de la iglesia comunitaria Starting Point de Chicago, es claro. Cumplirá con la ley, pero no facilitará el trabajo del Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE, sigla en inglés), es decir la policía de inmigración, si se plantan en la puerta de su congregación.“Una fuente de ayuda”“Con las órdenes de deportación, sí, sabemos que hay reglas y hay leyes. Si ellos vienen a tocar a las puertas de la iglesia, podemos tener una conversación. Pero si ellos no tienen un orden judicial firmado por un juez, específicamente con nombres de personas, no pueden entrar en la propiedad para ver o hablar con la gente”, explica el pastor a RFI. En sus instalaciones acoge como huéspedes actualmente a 17 inmigrantes latinoamericanos. Su iglesia se ha convertido en un primer punto de apoyo tras su llegada a Estados Unidos, mientras se instalan y completan su papeleo ante las autoridades. “Aquí estamos dando esa oportunidad de hospedaje, de prepararse, de guardar un poquito de dinero para hacer una transición de aquí hacia su propio apartamento, su propio hogar. Y queremos ser por lo menos una fuente de ayuda para aquellos que lo necesitan”, subraya Marvin del Ríos. “Mucho temor”Precisa además que “la mayoría de nosotros tiene sus documentos y permisos de trabajo de Estados Unidos; los otros están esperando sus documentos, ya pusieron su solicitud y están en espera para recibir esos documentos”. No obstante, a pesar de la ayuda entre sus miembros, las recientes medidas de la administración Trump, así como ciertas noticias publicadas como las relativas a cuotas obligatorias de detenciones impuestas a la policía de inmigración, mantienen en constante tensión a la comunidad latinoamericana de la ciudad, sobre todo a “aquellos que no tienen sus documentos en orden o están todavía en trámite”. “Ha habido mucho temor. Algunos no están mandando sus hijos a la escuela, otros están quedándose en su casa y no están yendo al trabajo. Lamentablemente hemos visto y hemos escuchado de la vida siendo un poquito difícil en este momento para salir”, señala el pastor.

When building scenarios - It certainly does!  Think about how the 2008 financial crisis reshaped economic forecasts. Those who clung to pre-crisis assumptions faced severe consequences. Acknowledging a new starting point means more resilient strategies. By Max Rudolph

Starting Point - Operating in God's Love. A message by Patrick Sawyer

Let's talk about setting the stage for greatness, because if you're not planning for success, you're basically setting yourself up to fall flat. I'm breaking down the importance of goal setting—but not in that boring, surface-level way. We're getting real about evaluating your goals through the lens of your actual time and energy. Because let's face it: not every goal deserves your full attention, and some need to wait their turn. Before you dive headfirst into your next big ambition, we're reflecting on last year—the wins, the losses, and everything in between. What did you crush? Where did you miss the mark? Spoiler alert: those missed opportunities and failures are pure gold when it comes to learning and growing. This isn't just a “rah-rah, set goals” pep talk; it's about building a roadmap that's rooted in your unique journey. We're also diving into one of the most powerful tools for personal and professional growth: feedback. Yep, we're embracing it, not dodging it, because feedback is your secret weapon to leveling up. I'm sharing how to use feedback as a launchpad for even more success, transforming critiques into actionable insights that help you adjust your course and crush it in the future. Whether it's about refining your goals or tweaking your approach, feedback gives you the clarity you need to make smarter, bolder moves. If you're ready to reflect, reassess, and set a future so solid it makes your past self jealous, this episode is for you. You're capable of more than you think, and I'm here to help you own it!

Stephen M. R. Covey: Trust & Inspire Stephen M. R. Covey is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author and former CEO of Covey Leadership Center. He led the strategy that propelled his father's book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to become one of the two most influential business books of the 20th Century, according to CEO Magazine. He's the author The Speed of Trust and more recently Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others*. Despite everything we know about good leadership, a lot of places still operate in a command and control mindset. In this conversation, Stephen and I explore the key ways to shift from command and control to trust and inspire. Key Points In spite of all progress, most leaders today are still operating from a command and control mindset. The carrot and stick approach still dominates most organizational cultures and tactics. The biggest barrier to becoming a Trust & Inspire leader is when we think we already are one. People are whole people. The best leaders care for the body, heart, mind, and spirit. There is enough for everyone. Trust & Inspire leaders elevate caring above competition. Enduring influence is created from the inside out. The job of the leader is to go first. All people have greatness inside them. Trust & Inspire leaders work to unleash potential, not control it.
