Last March, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”It mandated a shift in how American history is portrayed in federal institutions, with a goal of eliminating “improper, divisive or anti-American ideology.”Instead, according to the executive order, the focus should be on a more “patriotic” narrative. And to ensure that happens, funding was cut for anything that “degrades shared American values” or “divides Americans by race.”This order applied largely to federal institutions, like the Smithsonian museums and the National Parks System.But here in Minnesota, the funding restrictions and shifts in ideology were felt immediately. History museum directors and curators — the people who collect and keep Minnesota history — were alarmed at what might be coming their way.So what happened?

Welcome to Financial Revelations with David Szafranski! Check out David's book The Sin of Retirement — available at www.sinofretirement.com and on Amazon (audiobook also available). Today, David talks about managing debt: Don't buy a car you don't need Don't take on unnecessary expenses Limit credit card debt — pay it off monthly or have a plan Create and stick to a budget — know your numbers David also connects what's happening in the markets with politics and inflation. His perspective: inflation isn't driven by consumers or producers alone, but by government overspending and restricted supply—like what we're seeing with Iran. The longer the crisis continues, the longer gas and oil prices may stay elevated. If tensions ease or Iran stabilizes, David believes: Markets could continue to rise Oil and gas prices could come down Stay focused. Stay disciplined.

Ever asked yourself that question? After disappointment, failure, or a season of feeling stuck, it's easy to wonder what comes next. This seriesexplores real moments from Scripture where people encountered Jesus in uncertain times and discovered a new direction for their lives. No matter where you're starting from, Jesus can lead you forward.

At some point, you're going to hit a crossroads.Stay the course or change direction.Keep going or pivot.Hold or fold.And the truth is, there's no quote, no post, no outside advice that can make that decision for you.In this episode, I'm breaking down what it actually looks like to trust yourself in those moments. Because it's easy to share the quotes, “bet on yourself,” “trust your gut,” “just go for it.” But it's a completely different experience when you're the one who has to decide.What I've realized is this, it's not about having perfect confidence or zero doubt. You're going to question yourself. You're going to feel uncertain. That's part of it.The difference is whether you let that stop you.We talk about how so many of us spend time living for other people, making decisions based on expectations, opinions, or fear of judgment. And over time, that adds up.Because when you zoom out and look at your life as a whole, the real question becomes, who have you actually been living for?That's where regret shows up.Not because you made the wrong decision, but because you didn't make your decision.And the goal here isn't perfection. It's putting yourself in a better position, making choices that align with you, and being at peace with when you decide to move.Because if you weren't ready before, you weren't ready. And that's okay.What matters is when you decide now.

Economist Stephen Moore joins Annie Frey to break down the economic fallout from the Iran conflict — skyrocketing gas prices, oil market volatility, and the broader impact on the U.S. economy. Moore analyzes whether the blockade and military pressure are worth the short-term pain, discusses Trump's “winning decisively” claims, and weighs in on whether the administration should accelerate or hold the line on Iran negotiations. Perfect episode for listeners tracking how foreign policy directly affects your wallet and why “winning the peace” matters more than temporary price spikes.

Watching the news recently has been an uneasy experience for investors and retirees. War headlines dominate the airwaves, oil prices have surged to new highs, and portfolio balances may not look as reassuring as they did months ago. For family stewards looking to safeguard their financial futures, the temptation to react to these global shocks is powerful. But it's crucial not to make emotional financial decisions. Understanding the CrisisIn March 2026, military strikes in the Middle East led to severe disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—a global oil supply chokepoint through which 20% of the world's daily oil supply flows. Although the U.S. itself is less directly dependent on Middle Eastern oil, oil's status as a globally priced commodity means any disruption impacts global prices and, by extension, markets everywhere. Brent crude prices quickly soared, spiking 10–15% in a day and peaking at $120 per barrel, amid fears it could rise further.Unsurprisingly, the financial markets responded with a bout of volatility. The VIX index—a gauge of investor fear—jumped from 19 to 25. Though jarring, Speaker A reminds us that these numbers pale compared to the shock during the COVID crisis when the VIX broke 80 (07:02). Recognizing this scale is the first step toward a measured response.Oil Prices and the Stock Market: It's ComplicatedMany assume a direct, simple link: oil prices soar, stocks tumble. While sometimes true in the short term, history tells a more nuanced story. The real variable is the duration of the oil shock, not the shock itself. In the 1973 Arab oil embargo, prices quadrupled, sustained for months, and the S&P 500 lost 37% in real terms, and recovery took six years.In the 1990 Gulf War, oil prices rose 75% in two months, but once the conflict was resolved, markets rebounded in just 28 days. In 2003, fears about Iraq pushed prices up, yet the S&P 500 delivered a 25% return the following year as disruptions were short-lived. In general, short, contained shocks resolve quickly with strong recoveries. Prolonged crises cause lasting damage.Building a Rock Solid PortfolioWithstanding economic storms starts with thoughtful preparation, and ideally, we want to create a “fortress portfolio”—not a flimsy wall, but a robust structure capable of weathering attacks. This involves deep diversification:U.S. small-cap and value stocksInternational and emerging marketsReal estate investment trustsShort-term and inflation-protected bondsDiversification means that even when panic causes correlations to rise temporarily, the portfolio is designed for resilience, not prediction. Selling during a crisis, by contrast, locks in losses and exposes investors to the impossible challenge of timing the market's rebound—a decision research shows most people get wrong.Lasting Wealth Is Built Through Hard TimesWar and oil shocks always ignite fear, but history and evidence are clear that those who stay disciplined, trust a well-built portfolio, and avoid emotional, short-term decisions are the ones who preserve and grow wealth. It isn't easy to hold the line, but it is the surest path to security and freedom for your family's future.Outline of This Episode[00:00] Retirement planning during uncertain times[01:09] Don't make emotional financial decisions[07:02] Understanding the VIX Index[08:57] The nuanced story of oil prices and your portfolio[14:08] Impact of oil on investments[18:13] Why timing the market is hard[23:26] Staying disciplined during volatilityResources MentionedVIX Volatility Products | Cboe Connect With Scott WellensSchedule a discovery call with ScottSend a message to ScottVisit Fortress Planning GroupConnect with Scott on LinkedInFollow Scott on TwitterFortress Planning Group on FacebookSubscribe to Best In WealthAudio Production and Show Notes byPODCAST FAST TRACKhttps://www.podcastfasttrack.comPodcast Disclaimer:The Best In Wealth Podcast is hosted by Scott Wellens.

Persevere, Persist and Stay the course Today we talked about what it really means to persevere, persist, and stay the course. Recovery isn't about doing it perfectly—it's about not quitting. It's about continuing to move forward even when it's hard, even when you don't feel it, even when everything in you wants to stop. This takes courage. Courage to keep showing up. Courage to keep going when nothing seems to be changing. Courage to stay in the fight one more day. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to not give up. That's how this works. Trudging Together. No one trudges alone.

Markets are shaking. Oil is rising. Headlines are loud. But the best investors don't panic. In this episode, Jerry explains why staying the course may be the smartest move you can make right now.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the war against the Iranian regime, though only a few weeks old, is going very well. Voices of despair—some genuine, many contrived—are widespread but do not reflect broad reality. The President's base remains solidly supportive. Opposition comes loudly from Democrats, Woke Reich isolationists and a public heavily influenced by uniformly negative media coverage and social media operations. Premature cessation of this war would be devastating, allowing the regime to rebuild with aid from China, Russia, and North Korea, delivering a major victory to the Axis of Evil. The U.S. needs to stay the course. Meanwhile, the media and anti-Trump, anti-American military elements from both the radical right and left have reduced complex issues to simplistic slogans like "boots on the ground" or "forever wars," rather than engaging intelligently. This sloganeering is Marxist-Leninist propaganda techniques. The goal is preventing enemies from acquiring nuclear weapons through strength, not appeasement like paying billions, lifting sanctions, or begging. Also, where is the outrage over the slaughter of Christians in Syria and Nigeria, and the extreme brutalization of women and girls under Islamist ideology? This is deeply disturbing and shocking.  Afterward, the conservative and constitutional movements, the Republican Party, and the nation were far better off before the rise of podcasters like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and others. They are not true MAGA, populists, nationalists, or constitutionalists, but megalomaniacs and manipulators who are destroying the movement from within. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Strength to Stay the Course-Prayerhttps://lifemotivationdaily.blogspot.com/

Resilience in business is not just about pushing through hard seasons. It's about knowing when to stay the course and when to change direction.In this episode, we record live from Keller Williams Family Reunion in Atlanta and dive into the real question many entrepreneurs face: when does persistence become stubbornness, and when is it time to pivot? We explore how passion, purpose, and clear metrics help guide those decisions.We talk about the role of KPIs in business strategy, why leading indicators matter more than lagging ones, and how tracking the right numbers can help us pivot faster when something isn't working. We also discuss the difference between making adjustments and making a full pivot, and how sometimes the right move is simply returning to the work that energizes us most.We also highlight the importance of community. The right mentors, advisors, and relationships often provide the clarity and perspective we can't see on our own.At the end of the day, resilience isn't about grinding endlessly. It's about directing our energy toward the work that truly moves us forward.We Talk About:[00:00] Live From Family Reunion in Atlanta[01:28] Purpose, Passion and Pivoting[06:17] When to Stick It Out vs Change Direction[14:32] Embracing Failure and Learning From It[20:42] The Importance of Relationships and Community[28:12] What Advice Helps Someone Decide Whether to Pivot or Stay the Course?Resources:Learn more at The Color of MoneyKeller Williams Family Reunion Become a real estate agent HEREConnect with Our HostsEmerick Peace:Instagram: @theemerickpeaceFacebook: facebook.com/emerickpeaceDaniel Dixon:Instagram: @dixonsolditFacebook: facebook.com/realdanieldixonLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dixonsolditYouTube: @dixongroupcompaniesJulia Lashay:Instagram: @iamjulialashayFacebook: facebook.com/growwithjuliaLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/julialashay/YouTube: @JuliaLashayBo MenkitiInstagram: @bomenkitiFacebook: facebook.com/obiora.menkitiLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/bomenkiti/Produced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Over the past few weeks I have been talking with so many mamas who are teetering on the edge of giving up on homeschooling. They are feeling discouraged and defeated, wondering if their kids would be better off somewhere else. Not necessarily because it's what is best for the kids, but because they are tired.   Tired of fighting with their kids about sitting still or staying focused.  Tired of no one listening, and constantly being interrupted. Tired of making all the decisions, just to have their plans thwarted. Tired of trying all day, day after day, and not seeing the progress they'd hoped for by now.   In today's episode I'm sharing some of the coaching I've been offering these mamas who actually want to keep homeschooling, but don't want to keep dealing with all the hard stuff. We're focusing on progress over perfection. A rule for making decisions when you're feeling down. How to evaluate calmly and fairly so you don't quit on a bad day. And I'm going to share with you my prayer to filter your decisions during this season through the Holy Spirit. If you've been feeling discouraged in your homeschooling journey lately and need a little reset for your heart, some tools to keep on keeping on, and process to know if it's time to end this season of your life, please grab your earbuds and join me for: When to Quit, Make a Change, or Stay the Course.   Grab your free resource here: 30 New Thoughts to Think (to Put a Bad Homeschool Day in Right Order) Come work with me in the Happy, Holy Mama Membership!  

DML's morning insight on a hot topic trending in the United States.

In this episode of Construction Corner, host Dillon delivers a passionate manifesto on the power of making fast decisions and sticking with them. Reflecting on seven years of podcasting and a recent conversation with fellow entrepreneurs, he challenges the paralysis that keeps people from taking action. From Joe Rogan's 500 episodes before anyone cared to Mr. Beast's 15-year grind, Dillon illustrates how consistency and commitment—not perfection—lead to success. He shares practical examples from his own work, including how three days spent refining a simple pole base detail saved clients $50,000, and emphasizes that overthinking kills momentum. Whether it's starting a podcast, creating content, or standardizing construction details, Dillon's message is clear: make a decision, run with it, get better as you go, and stop worrying about looking silly. Be authentic, embrace the learning curve, and remember that the internet trolls probably weren't going to buy from you anyway.Comment your thoughts below and don't forget to like, SHARE, and subscribe!Want an Engineering firm BUILT for Electrical Contractors?

Stay the Course, Being Steady in the Lord in the Mist of a Volatile World • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We are living in a time when everything around us seems to be shaking. Nations are shaking, economies are shaking, families are under pressure, and even within the visible church there is instability and compromise. Headlines change by the hour, but the Word of God has not changed. The Lord is raising up a people who will not be driven by fear, trends, or the latest crisis, but who will stay the course and remain steady in Him even when the world is volatile. God is not surprised by this hour. He has already prepared a path for His people. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His promises so that we can stand firm, endure, and even flourish when others are losing hope. 1. Steadfast when everything is shaking First, God calls us to be steadfast and unmovable. He does not want a fearful, fragile church, but a steadfast people who know whom they have believed. 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 2. Running with patience, eyes on Jesus To stay the course in a volatile world, we must run the race God has set before us with patience and with a clear focus on Jesus Himself. Hebrews 12:1 2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 3. Guarding your heart and mind with peace In a volatile world, anxiety comes knocking each day. But the Lord has given us a way to walk in supernatural peace in the middle of chaos. Philippians 4:6 7 “Be careful for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.” 4. God is our refuge when the earth trembles There are times when the shaking is not just emotional or personal, but global. Even then, God promises to be our refuge and strength. Psalm 46:1 3 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” 5. Trials that refine instead of destroy Some of the volatility we face is not just out there in the world, it is in the form of personal trials. But in the kingdom, trials are not just random attacks. God uses them to refine, mature, and strengthen us. James 1:2 4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” 6. Not troubled by the signs of the times The Lord even spoke about the volatility of the last days. He told us about wars, rumors of wars, and shaking, yet He also told us how to posture our hearts. Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”   7. Planted, not blown around In a volatile world, many people are tossed like leaves in the wind. But the righteous are called to be planted like trees by rivers of water. Psalm 1:1 3 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Colossians 1:23 “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven whereof I Paul am made a minister.” We are living in a volatile world. There are shaking events, confusing voices, and real pressures on every side. Yet in this very hour, God is calling His people to stay the course. To be steadfast and unmovable. To keep our eyes on Jesus. To trade anxiety for prayer and thanksgiving. To let His peace guard our hearts and minds. To refuse to waste our trials and instead allow them to refine us. To endure to the end. To delight in His Word until we are like trees planted by rivers of living water. To stay steady in the Lord in this kind of world is not something we can do in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit. We need the Word of God dwelling richly in us. We need fellowship with other believers who are also set on finishing well. So today, ask yourself, where have I been shaken. Where have I let fear, offense, or weariness push me off course. Where have I been listening more to the world than to the Word. Bring those areas back to the feet of Jesus. Surrender again. Say from your heart, “Lord, I choose to stay the course. Make me steadfast. Guard my mind with Your peace. Plant me deep in Your Word. Help me endure and finish my race well.” As you do, the same God who steadied Joseph in a foreign land, Daniel in a hostile empire, and the early church in a time of persecution will steady you in this generation. The world may be volatile, but your God is not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in Him you can stand firm until the very end.

Episode Summary:What happens when you stop chasing trends and start trusting conviction? In this episode, Miles Witt Boyer and Jared Mark Fincher sit down with educator and business coach Nathan Chanski for a grounded conversation about building a sustainable creative business without getting dragged around by the industry's panic cycles. This is not a gear talk. It is about belief, leadership, clarity, and learning how to speak what you actually know.What We Talk About:• How Miles and Jared work together as best friends and creative partners• Why Nathan's education feels different because it comes from lived experience, not recycled theory• The tension between hustle culture and healthy urgency, especially around inquiry response time• Why pricing matters, but is rarely the only thing holding someone back• The yearly industry loop of “inquiries are down” and how fear reinforces fear• Trends that come and go: film, editing styles, AI panic, and why none of them fix the fundamentals• Preparing for big stages and fighting the deeper version of imposter syndrome: “Is what I have to say important enough?”• Nathan's mindset shift: stop trying to serve everyone, serve the one person who needs to hear it• Navigating platform pressure, criticism, and why you do not need to speak on what you do not understand• Why in person connection still matters in an online world and how it grounds leadersKey Quotes:“I'm not trying to impress everyone. I'm trying to help someone.”“Scarcity is a loop. Abundance is an arc.”“Not saying something isn't saying something. It's just not saying something.”“Stay your narrow road. Trends come and go.”Aftercast:In the Aftercast, Nathan goes practical and shares a tangible takeaway for photographers inside the PHOTOCO community, including how to think about business muscles beyond pricing and what actually moves the needle when inquiries feel slow.

Stay the Course, Being Steady in the Lord in the Mist of a Volatile World • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give We are living in a time when everything around us seems to be shaking. Nations are shaking, economies are shaking, families are under pressure, and even within the visible church there is instability and compromise. Headlines change by the hour, but the Word of God has not changed. The Lord is raising up a people who will not be driven by fear, trends, or the latest crisis, but who will stay the course and remain steady in Him even when the world is volatile. God is not surprised by this hour. He has already prepared a path for His people. He has given us His Spirit, His Word, and His promises so that we can stand firm, endure, and even flourish when others are losing hope. 1. Steadfast when everything is shaking First, God calls us to be steadfast and unmovable. He does not want a fearful, fragile church, but a steadfast people who know whom they have believed. 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 2. Running with patience, eyes on Jesus To stay the course in a volatile world, we must run the race God has set before us with patience and with a clear focus on Jesus Himself. Hebrews 12:1 2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 3. Guarding your heart and mind with peace In a volatile world, anxiety comes knocking each day. But the Lord has given us a way to walk in supernatural peace in the middle of chaos. Philippians 4:6 7 “Be careful for nothing but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 26:3 “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee because he trusteth in thee.” 4. God is our refuge when the earth trembles There are times when the shaking is not just emotional or personal, but global. Even then, God promises to be our refuge and strength. Psalm 46:1 3 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.” 5. Trials that refine instead of destroy Some of the volatility we face is not just out there in the world, it is in the form of personal trials. But in the kingdom, trials are not just random attacks. God uses them to refine, mature, and strengthen us. James 1:2 4 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” 6. Not troubled by the signs of the times The Lord even spoke about the volatility of the last days. He told us about wars, rumors of wars, and shaking, yet He also told us how to posture our hearts. Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars see that ye be not troubled for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:13 “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” 7. Planted, not blown around In a volatile world, many people are tossed like leaves in the wind. But the righteous are called to be planted like trees by rivers of water. Psalm 1:1 3 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Colossians 1:23 “If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven whereof I Paul am made a minister.” We are living in a volatile world. There are shaking events, confusing voices, and real pressures on every side. Yet in this very hour, God is calling His people to stay the course. To be steadfast and unmovable. To keep our eyes on Jesus. To trade anxiety for prayer and thanksgiving. To let His peace guard our hearts and minds. To refuse to waste our trials and instead allow them to refine us. To endure to the end. To delight in His Word until we are like trees planted by rivers of living water. To stay steady in the Lord in this kind of world is not something we can do in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit. We need the Word of God dwelling richly in us. We need fellowship with other believers who are also set on finishing well. So today, ask yourself, where have I been shaken. Where have I let fear, offense, or weariness push me off course. Where have I been listening more to the world than to the Word. Bring those areas back to the feet of Jesus. Surrender again. Say from your heart, “Lord, I choose to stay the course. Make me steadfast. Guard my mind with Your peace. Plant me deep in Your Word. Help me endure and finish my race well.” As you do, the same God who steadied Joseph in a foreign land, Daniel in a hostile empire, and the early church in a time of persecution will steady you in this generation. The world may be volatile, but your God is not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in Him you can stand firm until the very end.
