Are you leaning too much on advice and not enough on action?In this episode, I break down the five essential roles every business owner needs to supercharge their growth—and why relying on friends or familiar faces may be holding you back.Discover how a coach, mentor, advisor, trainer, and consultant each play a pivotal part in your entrepreneurial journey, and get practical strategies to start filling these gaps today.Here are 3 Key Takeaways:1. Know the Difference: Understanding the unique value each role brings—advisor, trainer, consultant, mentor, and coach—can prevent you from missing out on critical support or wasting time with the wrong type of help. Most entrepreneurs over-rely on advice and under-invest in hands-on coaching and actionable training.2. Fill Every Role—Strategically: You might not have all five roles filled at once, but identifying and approaching the right people (outside your close circle) for these positions is key to real progress. Your growth is limited when you expect friends or insiders to give the objective feedback and expertise you need.3. Take Action, Not Just Advice: Too often, we get stuck collecting ideas but never move forward. Chart out your support team, ask the right questions, and take steps to bring in advisors, trainers, consultants, mentors, and coaches who challenge you, nurture your growth, and help you execute, not just plan.

“Am I in trouble?” “Am I secretly bad?” These are questions Meg Josephson, a therapist and author, grew up asking herself. She was constantly trying to anticipate other people's needs, worried that she was letting other people down. And it wasn't until she found herself standing in the aisle of a Bed Bath & Beyond, trying to remember her favorite color, that she realized her desire to please everyone was eroding her sense of self.On this episode of Modern Love, Josephson talks about how that realization led her to confront her tumultuous childhood, and what it took to stop “people pleasing.” She then reads the Modern Love essay “My Three Years as a Beloved Daughter” by Erin Brown, about a woman who found a type of love in her best friend's parents that she had never experienced before, and what that taught her about her own parents.Josephson's book, “Are You Mad At Me?,” is available Aug. 5, 2025.Find new episodes of Modern Love every Wednesday.

Most men obsess over attraction tactics: what to say, how to act, how to keep her interested. But here's the truth — attraction isn't something you perform. It's something you become when you learn to respect yourself. In this video, I explain why constantly trying to attract her actually pushes her away. You're putting her on a pedestal — while ignoring the one person who can truly change your results: you. If she's not chasing you, it's not because you're not good enough — it's because you've been chasing her approval instead of your own growth. You'll learn: Why self-respect is more magnetic than any “line” How performance-based attraction kills polarity The mindset shift that flips the dynamic permanently This isn't about tricks. It's about becoming the man women naturally want to follow.

Does your partner feel more like a roommate than a lover lately? You're definitely not alone—and you're not wrong for wanting more. In this Language of Love Session, I help Shauna, who's been with her partner for three years. She misses the early days—the surprise love notes, spontaneous date nights, the simple act of hand-holding. Now? It feels like they're stuck in a routine, more like roommates navigating a to-do list than lovers sharing a life. She's tried dropping hints, even having honest conversations, but nothing seems to shift. Her question: How do I ask for more romance without making him feel like he's failing? Together, we dig into why passion so often fades in long-term relationships—and how to revive that spark with intention, not pressure. You'll learn: Why the “infatuation phase” ends—and what comes next in a healthy love story The sex-romance stalemate: what it is and how it silently sabotages connection How to give your partner a roadmap to romance (without it feeling like a chore) Why men and women often feel loved in very different ways—and how to bridge the gap How emotional and physical intimacy feed each other in a lasting relationship What role sexual availability plays in inspiring affection—and how to talk about it The subtle ways your own behavior might be discouraging romance (and how to shift it) When to seek couples therapy—and why it's not just for marriages in crisis Plus, I share a simple, powerful communication strategy that invites your partner into deeper connection—without shame, blame, or ultimatums. If you feel stuck in a routine that no longer feels like love, this episode is your invitation to begin again. Have a question about your own love life?

You only get one life—so what will you do with it? In this episode, Daron wraps up the story of Ruth with a challenge to stop coasting and start stepping into redemptive purpose. Boaz didn't have to act—but he did. And his legacy still echoes today. Key Takeaways: • You get one life—don't waste it. • “I can't” is often just fear in disguise. • Saying yes to God creates a legacy of redemption. • “Have to” thinking leads to half-hearted living. • You were made to join God's mission of love and reconciliation. Quotes: “You don't have to… but you get to.” “Half-to thinking leads to half-living.” “You get one life. Stop wasting it on stuff that doesn't matter.” “Boaz didn't have to—he chose to, because redemption ran in his bloodline.” “Jesus is the Redeemer who wanted to… and did.”

Welcome back T&J fam! This week we have a great discussion that covers several different areas. We take a look at the story of Jonah from a new lens recently presented to Marty. Turns out, many people think Jonah died. Do you? We then take a look at God's will for our lives and how to navigate decision making and figuring out what God has for us. Does He have a specific will? Can we find it out? Do we just need to live and stop asking for God to make it clear? We discuss all these questions and more. As always, we hope you enjoy!

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Mark Blumenthal from Charlotte, NC. Mark, your partnership with us through Project 23 is a testament to your faith and a blessing to us. This study is for you. Our text today is Mark 8:11-13: The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.— Mark 8:11-13 The Pharisees show up again—not to listen, but to argue. They demand a sign. Not because they're curious—but because they're testing Jesus. And Jesus responds with a deep sigh—not the frustrated kind, but the disappointed kind. The sigh you make when someone just doesn't get it. He says: “Why does this generation seek a sign?” The irony is Jesus has given them plenty of signs. Healing. Exorcism. Bread. Fish. Hearing. Sight. Storms calmed. But these religious elite are not looking for evidence—they're looking for control over a situation that is scaling beyond their control. And Jesus doesn't play their game. He doesn't cave to pressure. He doesn't bend to cynicism. He walks away. This is a sobering moment. Jesus doesn't chase them. He doesn't argue back. He gets in the boat and moves on. Some people don't want to believe and surrender—they want to control and stay in charge. And that's the Pharisees. They have not come to inquire of Jesus or have any desire to follow him. They merely want Jesus to play by their rules. And we can all fall into the same trap. We think: “God, show me something and then I'll believe.” “Fix this first, and then I'll trust you.” “Give me a sign, and then I'll surrender.” But that's not how belief and faith work. Faith moves before the sign. It steps out without a guarantee. It trusts in Jesus—without forcing his hand. There's a huge difference between asking by faith and demanding with pride. One walks toward Jesus. The other makes Jesus sigh and walk away. Jesus, I don't want to test you—I want to trust You. Help my faith walk ahead of the sign I think I need. Amen. #FaithNotSigns, #TrustJesus, #Mark8 ASK THIS: Have you ever asked God for a sign to prove Himself? How do you respond when God seems silent? What's the difference between testing God and trusting Him? How does pride keep us from surrender? DO THIS: Choose to trust Jesus today in one area where you've been waiting for proof. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to test you—I want to trust You. Help my faith walk ahead of the sign I think I need. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Trust in You” by Lauren Daigle.

Have you ever been lost and needed to stop for directions?  We've all been there—seeking guidance, advice, or a roadmap...

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: God's Will for Your WorkDevotional: 4 of 4The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. (Psalm 37:23-24)We've been in a series exploring biblical truths for discerning God's will for your work. Here's the fourth and final I'll share:Truth #4: Some Christians need to spend less time discerning God's will and more time doing God's will.Now, notice that I didn't say “spend no time discerning God's will.” That would be unbiblical and foolish as the wisdom of seeking wisdom from the Lord is everywhere in Scripture (see Proverbs 3:5-6, James 1:5, etc.).The problem is that many of us spend so much time worrying about God's will for the future that we never get around to doing his will in the present. This stands in stark contrast to the example of Christ's followers in Scripture. Take Paul as an example. Yes there were times when Paul waited on the Lord in prayer (see Acts 13:1-2, Acts 16:6-10, etc.). But as pastor Jerry Sittser explains, the New Testament offers no hint that Paul agonized about the will of God as it pertained to the future…If we sense any agony in the heroes of Scripture, it is not in discovering the will of God but in doing it.”Now I hear what you're thinking: OK Jordan, so long as I am seeking to obey God, I have lots of freedom in the decisions I make at work. I get it. But I still have a decision to make! So how do I choose? Let me suggest 3 practices that put the truths we've learned in this series into practice.#1: Pray and ask God for wisdom. But as I mentioned before, don't be surprised if his answer is, “you choose.” #2: Seek wisdom from Christians who understand your work. This could be a small group in your church, a Christian Employee Resource Group at your company, or my own Mere Christians Community (which is open for enrollment this week).#3: Flip a coin. Absent an exceptionally clear answer from God or others, choose whichever option you want. Still can't decide? Flip a coin. As music producer Rick Rubin explains, “When the coin is spinning in the air, you'll likely notice a quiet preference or wish for one of the two to come up. Which are you rooting for? This is the option to go with.”God's will for your work is that you would work with him and be obedient to his commands. That gives you tonsof freedom to make decisions today. Maybe you need to stop asking God about his will and start doing his will. Because as Saint Francis de Sales once said, “Deeds give God far more glory than any amount of time wasted in trying to discriminate between good and better.”

How many years (decades?) have you been struggling with these questions? Am I doing a good enough job? What that a good enough response? Did I do well enough today? Am I good enough?

A better approach that gets them to open up is using "assumptive problem quesitons.  These get them to relive their challenges, and create urgency for a solution.

Learn how to turn conversations into results and position yourself as the trusted expert every prospect needs.

Drawing inspiration from telemarketer calls and Chris Voss's book "Never Split the Difference," I explain how this question usually lacks genuine care and serves no purpose. Instead, I suggest more meaningful alternatives like asking, "What's new and exciting for you?" or "What do you love about what you do?"
