Are you building a business but still feeling unsure about taxes and money moves? In this conversation, I sat down with Laura Zarrate, CPA, to break down what every small business owner needs to know. We talked about the truth behind LLCs, write-offs, and quarterly taxes—plus the mindset shift it takes to go from employee to entrepreneur. Laura also shared her powerful perspective on defining wealth beyond just money—because for many of us, it's about freedom, time, and familia.Chapters:00:00 – Meet Laura Zarrate, CPA: Latina Entrepreneur & Tax Expert06:25 – LLCs and Taxes: What Small Business Owners Need to Know11:52 – How Quarterly Taxes Work (and How to Stay Ready)16:17 – Small Business Write-Offs: What You Can (and Can't) Deduct22:47 – Shifting Your Sales Mindset: Charge Your Worth with Confidence26:09 – Redefining Wealth: Freedom, Family, and Time Over Money

This week Samantha Thomas shares the good news of great joy brought by an angel to the lowly shepherds who were keeping watch over their flock by night. Like those shepherds, we are assigned to a certain field, a certain flock - whether that's our family, friends, or colleagues - and God has placed us there intentionally. Follow the rhythm of the shepherds: first, encounter God and then 'go' and make known what you have heard and seen, building the rhythm of 'coming' to Him and 'going' to tell others. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. - Luke 2:18-20 (ESV)

When we wait with hope, it transforms how we use our resources, how we plan, and how we spend our time. The disposition of a follower of Christ is one that turns toward hope even in the midst of despair, and it can be seen in the way they live their lives. Hope leaves seeds sown in its wake because it believes in tomorrow. It trusts in divinely inspired dreams of peace that are planted, nurtured, and cultivated. Hope is anchored in the history, mystery, and majesty of the coming Christ. Join us for the first week of Advent as we learn what it means to stay ready for hope.

Our friend Pastor Jamaal Watson was in the house again sharing a message titled "Stay Ready." The scripture for this week is Isaiah 43:16-19 and Mark 2:1-22. Make Way || Make Room || Made New.
In this sermon on Joel 1, we confront the urgent call to repentance, awakening, and readiness for the Day of the Lord. Joel's vision of the locust plague reveals how sin slowly destroys joy, identity, and intimacy with God. In an age of spiritual complacency, this message reminds us: God's judgment is real, but His grace is near. Jesus is not a tame figure—He is the righteous King who calls us to mourn, fast, and return to Him. This series challenges us to look up, stay ready, and seek true joy in Christ alone as we await His return

In this powerful and sobering episode, we reflect on the recent deaths of Charlie Kirk and Pastor Voddie Baucham — two bold men who shaped our generation and challenged Christian men to stand firm in truth. Their sudden passing reminds us of life's fragility and the urgent call to live faithfully, boldly, and ready. What does it mean to be “ready” in our time? Spiritually, morally, practically, and missionally? This episode challenges Christian men to confront their mortality, examine their legacy, and rise to the calling God has placed on their lives.

These moments help you slow down, listen closer, and lean into what God may already be stirring—whether it's a whisper you've brushed off, a drift you've slipped into, or a nudge you've been delaying.

You can get ready. Or you can stay ready. Life's challenges have a funny way of not sending you a calendar invite beforehand. Instead, they usually come along to blow your calendar up. A layoff, diagnosis, or Bengals loss can throw all your outer peace out the window. So what do you do? You can either get ready. Or you can STAY ready. Kyle Ranson shows us how your life isn't won on the big stage—it's in the small, unseen decisions you make every day. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In this episode, we unpack the recent No Kings protests and the underlying civil unrest that's sparking debate across the country. Beyond the headlines and hashtags, we explore how a foundational understanding of preparedness and basic survival skills can help keep you and your family safe during unpredictable, high-tension situations. We dive into the real-world applications of situational awareness, go-bag readiness, and community intel—because when the streets heat up, reaction time matters. But it's not just about gear and grit. We also take a hard look at local and state self-defense laws, including what you can and can't do legally when faced with potential violence. Understanding your rights—and your responsibilities—when it comes to the use of deadly force is just as important as carrying the right tool. Whether you're new to preparedness or a seasoned survivalist, this episode bridges the gap between civil unrest and smart, legal self-protection.

Betty is ready. She began following Jesus as a teenager and has taken opportunities her whole life to serve and please Him. She attends Bible studies, worship services, and prayer meetings. She’s taught studies, visited mission fields, worked in the nursery, served alongside her pastor-husband, and she loves being with God’s people every chance she gets. And remarkably she’s 102 years old and is still ready to do whatever pleases God. She’s an inspiration to many who might not feel like gathering with other believers some days. Then they remember, Betty will be there. I certainly can get there! Betty now says she’s anxious to get to heaven to be with her Savior. She says, “I am ready to see Jesus; I love Him so.” The apostle Paul said he “would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8). But he knew God had work for him in encouraging believers in many churches (Philippians 1:23-24). So he kept serving and living “by faith” and “not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Paul remained ready and kept serving under God’s direction. Whatever our age and stage in life, let’s ask God to help us make it our heart’s goal “to please [Christ]” (v. 9) and stay ready. Betty is ready. And if someday she isn’t ready, it’s because she’s already seeing Jesus face-to-face.
