Podcasts about submission

In this episode of #amwriting, Jennie introduces this series of “Write Big” episodes in which she vulnerably shares her own process of turning the Write Big concepts into a book, thanking listeners and inviting them to become paid subscribers. In this tough installment, recorded after a Zoom call with her agent while sick, she explains they are ending submission after sending the proposal to 30 publishers; feedback was largely positive, but publishers felt the book would be hard to break out without a large platform, and there was nothing actionable to change. Jennie feels sad about losing the chance for bookstore placement via a traditional deal, but emphasizes she does not feel rejected and believes strongly in the finished manuscript and her marketing plans. She plans to move forward independently, explore formats and special editions, and frames the moment as what “writing big” means: taking ownership, not playing small, and writing like it matters.#AmWriting is a reader-supported publication.

But before I do that, I just want to thank you for being a listener. I inherited this podcast from KJ, Jess, and Serena back in December, and didn't really know how it was going to work with just me at the helm or what I was going to do to make it valuable to writers.And I've been finding my way, and I've just been so grateful that you're continuing to listen. I appreciate it so much. I have a lot of really cool things planned coming up, so I hope you'll keep listening, and I also hope that if you're getting something from it, that you consider becoming a paid subscriber.That helps support me and the producer and assistants who help me put this together, and we would appreciate your support so much. Okay. So the reason that I wanted to introduce this upcoming series is that it's a series of Write Big episodes that are about me and the project that I'm working on, and it feels a little vulnerable to be sharing in this way.I've had some mentors and advisors [00:01:00] suggest that maybe I shouldn't do this because I'm here on the #amwriting podcast as an authority. I'm the book coach who coaches the book coaches and who has coached a lot of writers, and I come at you from that place of expertise. But in these next episodes, I'm coming at you as a writer my own self, and I'm coming with some pretty raw material.I debated whether or not I should share it at all, but I decided to go ahead. I think it's the honest way to show that I'm here working on the Write Big issues right alongside you because every writer is. These are not just theoretical ideas. They're ideas that we all have to wrestle with. It doesn't matter that I've published 12 books or that I've coached hundreds of writers and thousands of book coaches.What matters is that I want the book I'm writing to be great, and I want it to make an impact, and I want it to be authentically me, and that's what writing big is all about. So the [00:02:00] project that you're going to hear me talk about is trying to turn the Write Big concepts into a Write Big book. And this episode that you're gonna hear first is a pretty tough one.I want you to know that it all turns out just fine. I'm fine, and I'll be sharing the journey of my bringing the Write Big book into the world with all of you as we go with some special opportunities to be inside the process with me and to help me make the book as good as it could be. This will all just be a small part of what I have planned for the #amwriting podcast, but I wanted to give you this context before you listen today, just so you know what this episode is all about and the next few ones that follow.Okay, now let's get to it.This is a Write Big session where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters. Today, I have a bad cold, as you can hear, but I just got off the Zoom with my agent, and I wanted to [00:03:00] capture this moment for all of you because I think it's really important to capture it.So even though it was a sad call and I feel bad, I wanted to record this right now. And, um, it was sad because we decided that our submission efforts are over and they didn't work. My agent submitted to 30 publishers, and the overall feedback was amazing, as I shared in some earlier episodes. It was just incredible how many people know me, know my work how well the proposal landed with people, how seriously they considered it.My agent did something that I've actually never seen before, which is that she had a spreadsheet, a Google spreadsheet, and she would share the feedback in the spreadsheet as it came in. So I have all of the feedback in this spreadsheet. I'm looking [00:04:00] at it right now. And so what my agent and I decided is that there was really nothing that we could do.There was nothing that we could control. Nobody was saying, “Go out and get a whole bunch of new followers and come back to us.” Nobody was saying anything about a different content or concept. There was just a general feeling that it would be hard to break this book out. I'm not famous, and I don't have a big following, and I can't get that.I can't snap my fingers and, and make that a thing. There are a lot of books in this category from people that do have that. And so I just am at that disadvantage, and there's, there's nothing that we could do. So we decided that's the end of the road. So what I wanted to capture, the reason I wanted to record this was, this is a book called [00:05:00] Write Big.And writing big in my mind- is not about going for it. That's not what it's about. It might be, and when you write big, you might do that, and what I was doing in trying to get a traditional deal for this book was going for it, and I'm sad I didn't get it. That's the sadness. I'm sad I didn't get it. I really wanted this book to be in bookstores.I feel like it's a book that would do really well in bookstores, and should be in bookstores. That was my primary goal for getting a traditional deal, because I've self-published the Blueprint books, and they sell very well, and they do very well. And the one publisher that we spoke to commented upon that, actually said, “You do so well.What can we... What could we do that's different from what you're already doing?” So that is an [00:06:00] interesting part of the conversation. But I want it to be in bookstores, and it's hard to be in bookstores, really nearly impossible with a book like this from self-publishing. So the sadness is that I won't have that.And but underneath all of that sadness and the disappointment that it didn't work is a belief in what I'm doing. I have a finished manuscript. I have it out with two beta readers, and I'll be talking about why I picked those two and what that process was and how the feedback from them has gone and what I'm doing with that feedback in later episodes.But I know that this material is good. I know that it's useful. I'm excited about this material. My proposal had some killer marketing plan in it that I'm really excited to pursue without a [00:07:00] publishing partner, a traditional publishing partner, and some of the things that I wanna pursue will be easier without a publishing partner because I'll have control over the pricing and special offers and giveaways and things like that.But I... the, this book is not... this, this news is not the end of this book by any stretch of the imagination. It's just the end of this piece of what I wanted, and that's the core belief, is that this, this idea is solid and sound, and I'm excited about it, and I wanna bring it into the world, and actually nothing is gonna stop me from doing that, and I feel a fierce, m- what is it?Desire to do that. So I don't feel like this is a setback. I don't feel like it's a referendum on what I wrote. [00:08:00] I don't feel like it's personal I don't feel rejected. Again, I just feel sad because I had a, a dream or a vision of that, of that bookstore thing. But, you know, what does that represent? It...What it means is that this book would get into writers' hands, and it would get into writers' hands in that way of, you know, someone wanders into a bookstore and they're noodling around, and they are come upon that writer book reference shelf in which actually often several of my clients' books sit. And which is kind of ironic.One of, one of the re- uh, rejection letters actually referenced that they already have a book similar-ish to mine which is somebody that I, that I helped. So, and one of my coaches helped. So, yeah, it's a little bitter- [00:09:00] bittersweet part of that there, for sure. But, you know, the ultimate goal is that writers get this, and writers use this, and writers make something from the content in this book, and that can happen whether they encounter that book in the bookstore or not.So that is what is gonna happen. I will pursue this and move forward with this on my own. And, It, yeah, it feels, I'm just- I'm sort of closing my eyes and sitting here and trying to feel how I feel. I mean, I knew, I knew what was happening on this call. It wasn't a surprise to me. It was, you know, we agreed to add the submission and to have this conversation today.So I wasn't surprised by the news. But, you know, having the call is, is final and the agent that I chose for this project is lovely and loves my work and did it- did all she could do. Um, I have no, I have no, um, [00:10:00] feelings or regrets about her role in this. And yeah, I feel a little, uh... What do I feel?It's, uh, it's hard to know what you feel. Um, I feel a little, I guess vulnerable, uh, sharing, sharing this in what, um, will be a podcast, but I don't know. I just, I'm out here trying to teach and to lead and to coach, and I've coached so many writers through this moment in different ways and different kinds of books over the years, and it's part of the process.I- I've been in the seat of helping someone through it many, many times and it it will be okay. I know it will be okay. And, um, we're so lucky that we live in a time when the publishing decision is not the final decision. I have so much control and agency and choice, and maybe this is w- actually gonna be the best [00:11:00] possible for- thing for this book.And I'm starting to think about, oh, maybe I'll do a, a special kind of cover or a special hardback edition in addition to paper and e-book and audio. There's so many things that I could do and I'm excited to, to do it. So I will take a, a beat and mourn, mourn the thing that I didn't get that I wanted and move on.And that is what I think writing big is all about. Again, it's not going for it and, getting the big prize and that kind of energy. It's, you know what? how can you stop playing small and write like it matters? How can you go big in terms of your ownership of this and taking responsibility of this and doing what you can to bring it to life?And that's always in our control. So that's what I'm [00:12:00] gonna do, and I wanted to share that with you in the moment. So until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters. This is a public episode.

Of Monsters and Mushrooms, Ch. 17 (book 1 NEW) ep. 837 Like the Voice of God NOTE: This is a rewrite of book 1. Originally, 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms' was supposed to be a multi-part short story that transformed halfway through into a novel. This left the plot (and the voice acting, to be honest) lacking. We decided to go back and completely rewrite book one to fix any plot holes and bring the quality in line with the rest of the series.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Rebellion is saying "no" to God — and Scripture is clear: rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (1 Samuel 15:23). In this message, Pastor Landon unpacks the story of Israel's twelve spies in Numbers 13-14, showing how a nation focused on giants instead of God missed the Promised Land entirely. He breaks down what rebellion really is, where it started, how it shows up in our homes and culture today, and why submission — not fear, not striving — is the strategy that breaks its back. Rebellion will not enter the promises of God. Submission breaks the back of rebellion.

How do we respond when we don't agree with the people in authority over us? Submission can be difficult—especially when we believe we know a better way. But Scripture teaches us that the way we respond to authority says something about our trust in God.In 1 Peter 2:11–13, Peter challenges believers to live differently from the world around them, maintain honorable conduct, and submit to human authority for the Lord's sake. Biblical submission doesn't mean blindly agreeing with everything—it means allowing our attitudes, words, and actions to reflect Christ even when submission is uncomfortable.This message, “Difficulty with Authority,” challenges us to examine how we respond to leadership, correction, rules, and decisions we don't understand. God can use authority not only to provide order, but also to develop humility, character, and maturity within us.

Does mutual submission mean one spouse loses their voice—or does it invite both spouses to surrender their pride to Christ? Minister Vernon explores Ephesians 5, Christlike leadership, healthy disagreement, and five practical tools for choosing honor over winning. The episode concludes with the seven-day “Who Goes First?” Challenge.Featured Scriptures include Ephesians 5:18–33, Philippians 2:3–8, Galatians 5:22–26, Mark 10:42–45, and Romans 12:10.#ChristianMarriage #ChristCenteredMarriage #MarriagePodcast #BiblicalMarriage #MarriageAdvice #MutualSubmission #ChristianCouples #MarriageCommunication #HealthyMarriage #StrongerTogetherCloserToGodIf you desire to deepen your prayer life, we invite you to access our 52-Week Marriage Prayer Guide. Simply follow the link provided in our show notes to connect with our prayer community and Sign Up Today.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/stronger-together-closer-to-god/donations

In this episode of the 2 Be Better Podcast, Chris answers real relationship questions submitted by listeners and tackles the conversations most people are afraid to have. From marriage, submission, leadership, boundaries, trust, jealousy, financial struggles, social media addiction, and protecting intimacy, to maintaining connection when work keeps couples apart, these emails expose the everyday problems that can quietly destroy relationships when people refuse to communicate. Chris breaks down the difference between submission and control, requests and demands, insecurity and legitimate boundaries, while challenging both men and women to take accountability for the role they play in their relationships.This isn't traditional relationship advice. These are raw, unfiltered answers about marriage, masculine leadership, feminine submission, communication, personal accountability, dating, trust, intimacy, money, and becoming a better partner. You'll hear why your partner can't read your mind, how unspoken expectations create resentment, why boundaries require communication, how social media can distort your perception of relationships, and why being present with your partner matters more than trying to recover time you've already lost. If you're trying to build a stronger marriage, improve communication, understand relationship dynamics, or stop repeating the same destructive patterns, this episode will give you plenty to think about.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

DESCRIPTION Biblical leadership and spiritual warfare were never meant to be separated. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture repeatedly connects godly authority with the responsibility to guard, protect, preserve, and advance what God has established. In this powerful Biblical Life teaching, Dr. Michael Lake examines a truth the modern Church desperately needs to recover: Every legitimate biblical leader is called to stand under God's authority—and biblical authority carries with it the responsibility to resist darkness. The shepherd's staff provides a powerful picture of this principle. It steadies the leader's walk, guides those who follow, and can become a weapon when the flock is threatened. That pattern begins in Genesis. Adam was commissioned to exercise dominion, guard what God entrusted to him, and extend God's order throughout the earth. Yet the spiritual conflict was already underway. Leadership was necessary precisely because there was something that needed to be guarded. This principle continues throughout Scripture. ·      Noah protected humanity through obedience. ·      Abraham defended the covenant family. ·      Moses confronted Pharaoh. ·      Joshua led Israel against the corruption of Canaan. ·      David defended Israel from its enemies. ·      Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem while preparing the people to fight. And Jesus Christ—the perfect Shepherd, Leader, and Warrior—came "doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil" (Acts 10:38). The modern Church has often separated leadership from spiritual warfare. The result has been weakened families, passive believers, exhausted pastors, confused authority structures, and Christians who have never been taught how to stand their ground spiritually. That must change. Dr. Lake examines how biblical leadership establishes God's order, while spiritual warfare protects it. You will discover why: ·      Leadership begins with submission to God's authority. ·      The home is one of the first places biblical leadership must operate. ·      Husbands and wives were designed to function together under God's order. ·      Spiritual warfare did not begin in Genesis 3—the conflict was already present in Genesis 1. ·      Adam was commissioned to rule, guard, and preserve what God entrusted to him. ·      The shepherd's staff symbolizes both leadership and warfare. ·      Satan consistently targets leaders because destroying leadership scatters those under its protection. ·      The fivefold ministry carries specific responsibilities in the spiritual conflict. ·      Truth, holiness, prayer, obedience, discernment, and forgiveness are powerful weapons of biblical leadership. ·      Spiritual authority grows as believers themselves submit to the authority of Christ. ·      The name of Jesus must govern us before we presume to exercise His authority against the enemy. One of the most important principles in this teaching is simple: ·      Because I am under authority, I can move in authority. ·      Spiritual authority is not bravado. ·      It is not yelling at demons. ·      It is not religious theatrics. It flows from submission to Jesus Christ, obedience to the Word of God, holiness, covenant faithfulness, and a life increasingly governed by the character of Christ. The days ahead will require believers who know how to lead themselves, protect their households, discern deception, stand on biblical truth, and resist the kingdom of darkness. It is time to take up the shepherd's staff again.  It is time to LEAD.  It is time to GUARD.  It is time to STAND.  And when necessary, it is time to FIGHT. The Bible is not merely a devotional book.  It is also a war book. And God is preparing His remnant to understand how biblical leadership and spiritual warfare function together. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HELP US REACH AND EQUIP THE REMNANT If this teaching strengthens you, please: ✓ LIKE this video—it helps YouTube recommend this teaching to others. ✓ SUBSCRIBE to Biblical Life TV and turn on notifications so you don't miss future teachings. ✓ SHARE this message with pastors, fathers, husbands, ministry leaders, intercessors, and believers who understand that the Church must recover biblical leadership. ✓ COMMENT BELOW: What area of biblical leadership do you believe the Church most urgently needs to recover?

Send us Fan MailShe never missed a Monday. Twelve months of weekly billing meetings, every number reviewed, every question answered. And by the end of that year her net collection rate had dropped four points, her ninety-plus AR was up forty percent, and her denial rate had climbed from six percent to eleven. The numbers were there every week. The report was accurate. Nothing changed, because the meeting was structured around reporting instead of around deciding. System 1: the financial snapshot. Three numbers, charges, payments posted, and unlocked encounters, each compared to last week and month to date. Payments lag charges by 30 to 45 days, so a strong week reflects submissions from a month ago. And unlocked encounters, the number most owners skip, is the most controllable revenue lever on the report. On a practice doing $350,000 a month, each day of unsigned encounters at scale represents roughly $12,000 to $18,000 in claims that are not in the pipeline. System 2: AR aging, denials, and stuck claims. AR aging by date of service is the patient-facing view. AR aging by claim date is the payer-facing view. The comparison between them is its own diagnostic: if date-of-service aging is older, you had a submission delay. If claim-date aging is drifting past 90 while date-of-service aging sits at 30 to 60, the payer is holding claims that went out promptly. Denials and rejections are also not the same problem: a rejection happens before adjudication and is a front-end fix, a denial happens after and carries appeal deadlines. System 3: the accountability layer. Patient statements, four trackers, the rolling action item tracker, and the onshore manager review. The rolling tracker is the section that makes the meeting matter: eight fields, every item with one named owner and one due date, no item closed without a resolution note. Without it, the same problems get identified week after week and the meeting becomes a theater of accountability rather than a mechanism for it. THE WEEKLY MEETING AGENDA Financial Snapshot, 5 min. Charges, payments posted, unlocked encounters vs last week and MTD. Ask: did we move in the right direction and do we know why? AR Aging by DOS, 5 min. Ask: is the 90-plus bucket growing or shrinking week over week? AR Aging by Claim Date, 3 min. Ask: where are claims stalling after submission and which payer is holding them? Denial Analysis, 7 min. Ask: what is the root cause of the top denial and what closes it? Rejection Analysis, 5 min. Ask: what front-end information gap is generating these and who fixes it? PM System Status, 3 min. Ask: what is sitting in a status that should have moved by now? Patient Statements, 3 min. Ask: are we sending on schedule and is patient AR moving? Tracker Updates, 5 min. Ask: what is still open from last week and does it have a new owner or date? Rolling Action Items, 5 min. Ask: does every open item have one owner and one due date? Manager Review, 4 min. Ask: what is the team seeing that is not captured in the numbers?READING YOUR AR 90-plus growing week over week. Claims aging without resolution. Ask which payer and what status, and whether this is a follow-up gap or a payer dispute. 0 to 30 growing faster than payments. Strong submission, lagging cash. Ask whether this is normal lag or a specific payer slowing down. 120-plus unchanged for 3 or more weeks. Approaching or past timely filing. Ask which claims, what the appeal status is, and whether any need to be written off. Claim date aging older than DOS aging. Submission delay. Ask what caused it and whether it is still happening on current claims. Unlocked encounters climbing. Charts are not being signed. Ask which providers, how many days open, and who is following up today. THREE ACTIONS THIS WEEK 1. Pull your unlocked encounter count today and bring it to Monday. If it is growing, that is the first conversation before any other section gets opened. 2. Ask your billing manager for the rolling action item tracker from the last four meetings. If it does not exist, that is the answer. 3. Write one specific question for each of the three main sections before your next meeting, and notice what changes when the meeting has a questioner in it. EPISODE BREAKDOWN She never missed a Monday | Reporting versus deciding | The financial snapshot | Unlocked encounters | AR aging, two views | Denials versus rejections | Claims status | Trackers and patient statements | The rolling action item tracker | The manager review | Three things to do this weekResources block 1.

(1 Cor 14:33b-35) 1 Timothy 2:12-14 - I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

(1 Cor 14:36-40) Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Questions and Answers: What Should a Worship Service Look Like? Jeff Miller Download Audio Transcript 00:36You know, just a few days ago, in this very room, it was complete chaos. It was so good. I mean, VBS, it was complete chaos, right? You're going to hear more about it later. We're going to show you a video. But just kids on top of kids, people screaming and throwing. There was slime dripping from the ceiling. Wasn't supposed to, but there was.01:06And it was just, it was chaos and it was beautiful. Which is fine for vacation Bible school, but chaos is not something that should describe Sunday morning. And that takes us to the passage we're looking at today. So I'm going to ask you to please pray for me.01:36Faithfully represent God's Word. That's all we try to do here at Harvest Bible Chapel. We're not preaching our opinion or scratching itchy ears. We just want to represent the Word of God. And I'm asking you to please pray for me to do that faithfully, and I will pray for you to receive what it is that the Lord has said in His Word. All right? Let's just take a moment and pray.02:09Father, when we open the Bible, the question is, is this from God?02:21Father, we have solidly come to that conclusion.02:25We believe that this is your word.02:28When it says things that we like, and when it says things that we maybe struggle to believe, It's your word. And I pray today, Father, for all of us. You eliminate any distractions or preconceived notions and allow us to receive what it is that your word actually says. We pray in Jesus' name. And all of God's people said, Amen. 1 Corinthians chapter 14. Chapters 11 through 14.03:04in 1 Corinthians is all about corporate worship. Right? And we've been talking through this series. We had a little break from Pastor Taylor's excellent message taking us back to the Old Testament. But in this section in particular where we find ourselves, we're talking about speaking in tongues. And you can go back and review those. But tongues, there was a legit miracle gift. And if you study your Bibles, Speaking in tongues was speaking a known language. All right. It was an existing language, but the speaker, they didn't know that language. They didn't study, but they would. It'd be like if I got up and started speaking Mandarin. I don't know Mandarin, but I started speaking Mandarin because there were Mandarin speaking people in the congregation. That's what the gift of tongues was about. We saw. Previously, the tongues was a sign of judgment.04:04Israel had rejected the Messiah. And tongues was God's way of saying, okay, you're going to hear a language you don't understand because you've rejected me. I'm moving on to other people. And it was for the season of transition from the old covenant to the new covenant. We saw in chapter 13, verse eight, he said, tongues will cease. It's going to come to an end. It was only for a season.04:34The Pagan Practice of Tongues. In many pagan religions, there would be this ecstatic screaming of sounds. They weren't real languages. It's just screaming this gibberish. And the Corinthians brought that into church. It's chaos. There's chaos. Look at verse 26, where we left off last time. Verse 26. Paul says, What then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Stop right there. That's not a command, by the way. He's describing the chaos. He's like, here's what your church service is. Everybody shows up, and everybody is like, ooh, ooh, me, I want to teach. I want to speak in tongues. I'm going to sing. And everybody was doing it.05:33And it was just this circus. He says your worship services are just chaos. You have the gibberish. You have misusing the real gift of speaking in tongues. You have the debacle that you've made the Lord's Supper. You have women preaching. You have people showing off. Your services are a complete mess. And it'd be real easy for us to look.06:03and say, wow, yeah, glad we've matured from that. But sadly, many things that are called church services are still a real mess. What have we turned worshiping our Savior God, what have we turned that into? For some churches, it's putting on a concert and giving a pep talk.06:33heresy, screaming gibberish, holy laughter, holy barking, craziness, chaos. So much being done in the name of worshiping the Lord that is anything but actually worshiping the Lord. And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a second, hang on.07:01Who says what should happen in a church service anyways? Well, I would suggest to you God. The God that we worship has told us how we should worship. So very simply, in this passage we're looking at today, Paul is outlining here's what a worship service should be. That's what this passage is. What should happen in a church service? Paul's like, this is what should happen right here.07:31So, on your outline, how to have a church service God's way. Number one, first thing has to happen, absolutely has to happen. He says it first because this has to be the primary drive. Number one is build up believers. Build up believers. Look at the end of verse 26. He says, let all things be done.08:01For building up.08:07Here's a philosophical slash theological question for you.08:11Who is church service for?08:13Is it for believers or for unbelievers?08:19Biblically, church service is for believers.08:23Now listen, if you're here today and you're not a believer and somebody invited you, we're so glad that you're here.08:29But we're going to tell you to receive Christ. We're going to tell you to believe what the believers here believe. That we are, by nature and by birth, we are alienated sinners from God. And God reconciled us to himself through the death of his son, Jesus Christ. And he commands us. He commands us to turn from our sin and to believe in Jesus Christ. And when you do, you are saved. You are a child of God. That's the gospel.08:59The goal biblically in our worship service should be building up believers. Like, what parts of the service? Well, your Bible says the same thing that mine does. Let all things, all things be done for building up. It's teaching God's truth and teaching believers how to apply God's truth. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this because we have talked so much about this through 1 Corinthians chapter 14.09:29Church is where you go to give, not go to get. Over and over and over and over and over. Paul says edify, build up, edify, build up. It's just been the theme of this whole chapter. Paul says when you go to church, you should go to church ready to serve other people. That should be your mindset. I'm not here to get, I'm here to give. You're like, well, what about evangelism?10:01I'll study the book of Acts. When believers are built up, they are prepared to reach the lost in their lives. There's lost people in your life, in your sphere of friends, influence. You need to be built up here so you can go to them and share the gospel of Christ. The church is not what's in it for me, but.10:29Everything we do here has to have the mindset of what can we do to build up believers. That's what he says. So number one, how to have a church service God's way, build up believers. Number two, he says, eliminate the chaos. You've got to eliminate the chaos. Here he talks about two gifts. Just for that day that were not used appropriately in Corinth. Tongues, even the legit, They weren't doing that right. And prophesying. And understand again, the New Testament was being written during this day. So prophets were getting new revelation from God. We don't get that now that the Bible is complete. Right? Those blank pages in the back of your Bible aren't for you adding to Scripture. That's not what that's for.11:32But there were two gifts in that day that were being wildly misused, and it was contributing to the chaos. Tongues and prophecy. First, he addresses tongues. Okay? Legit gift of speaking in tongues. How do we do it? How do we do it? Look at verse 27. He says, and let someone interpret.12:02But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in church and speak to himself and to God.12:10First of all, speaking in tongues.12:12They're assuming here, Paul's assuming, that someone is present in church who speaks a foreign language.12:19And you see his guidelines.12:20He goes, okay, two or three of you, not everyone, and take turns and you have to have an interpreter for the sake of the people there that don't speak that language. Right? If somebody's here that speaks Mandarin and I got up and spoke Mandarin, like the rest of you are like, what's going on? You need an interpreter to say, here is what is being said. That's how the gift works. Again, we studied all that several weeks ago. But then he says, if you don't have an interpreter, just sit there and pray silently.12:59So let me ask you.13:01If you've been to or seen a Pentecostal or Charismatic church service, is that how it's done?13:07Is that typically how speaking in tongues happens?13:12You're afraid to say, aren't you?13:15All right.13:16No, that's not how people do it.13:20It's chaos.13:22And that's what Paul's saying.13:23Are you going to knock that chaos off?13:25Right? Then he talks about prophesying. Look at verses 29 through 31. Prophesying. He goes, let two or three prophets speak. Let the others weigh what is said. If a revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent. For you can all prophesy one by one so that all may learn and all be encouraged.13:55Stop there. Again, prophesying. Prophesying. He's like, just again, two or three. Right? And let the others discern if what is being said is actually from God. Weigh it. Right? And again, some people were preaching already revealed information. Maybe preaching something from the Old Testament. And in this day, as the New Testament was being written and God was giving revelation, There'd be somebody sitting there in church that God would give a revelation to. And Paul says, if that guy has a revelation, the guy that's speaking the old information, have him sit down. Let new revelation guys speak. Right? Then look at verse 32. He says, and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.14:55What in the world does that mean? It means this. The church was chaos, right? So you pull a guy aside that is a... He just can't help it. He comes to church and he's belting it out. I'm going to prophesy. And he's contributing to the chaos. And it's like, you're not supposed to do that. Remember, two or three...15:25What's he gonna say? Here's what he's gonna say. He's gonna say, I can't help it. I can't help it. Oh, and the spirit comes on me. I just can't help it. I just it just comes out. I can't control myself. And and that's why, you know, you want me to be quiet, but I can't be quiet. Because when the spirit's on me, I just can't be quiet. And verse 32, Paul's like wrong. The spirit of prophets are subject to the prophets, meaning this.15:55He's saying, every spiritual gift is used under the complete control of the one who has the gift.16:03The Holy Spirit does not come upon a person and make that person lose control of themselves.16:10That does not happen.16:12Okay?16:13That does not happen.16:15Paul says, your gifts are under your control.16:20Right?16:21So the exact ways these two gifts were used were Corinth specific, but there's a principle that certainly holds for us today. And it's look at verse 33. The first part, he says, for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. Paul says a service to worship God should represent God's care.16:52God is a God of peace. He's not a God of confusion. He said, listen, church cannot be a free for all. So you have to eliminate any chaos. Worship has to be orderly because otherwise people will not get built up. And that is why we're here is to build each other up. So that's what he's saying here. Eliminate the chaos. You've got to eliminate the chaos.17:20So how to have a church service God's way, build up believers, eliminate the chaos. Number three, he says, women don't preach. Women don't preach. Look at what he says. Now, the second half of verse 33, it actually goes with this section, not the previous section, right? In my Bible, it's actually indented as a new paragraph, and that's appropriate.17:51He says, As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the law also says.18:08All the churches.18:10All the churches.18:11Do you notice that?18:13All the churches.18:14Was it just a problem in Corinth?18:17Apparently not.18:19All the churches.18:21Was it just a problem in the first century?18:25All the churches.18:26Today.18:27Today.18:29Look, I never.18:31I can't remember a period of my life.18:39Where we as a culture have been so messed up about gender issues.18:43I just don't understand that.18:46One of the first things little kids learn.18:50We're so confused about gender stuff, right? Look at our culture. Gender is fluid. I was born one way, but now I can be another way, right? We have people in prominent positions that can't define what a woman is. And some of the same people saying that men can get pregnant. We have trans men or trans women. I can't ever remember.19:18The man who's dressed like a woman playing woman's sports, whatever that is. We're just so mixed up over gender things. And we in the church are like, well, we're not mixed up over gender issues. We have a big one. Let's talk about it. You know, the big gender issue in the church, can women be pastors?19:49It's a hot button issue. But I want you to hear me. The Bible is clear and it has not changed. Women are not to preach in church. And listen, I want you to hear me out, okay? You put your church clothes on and you showed up. So can you just stay and hear me out? I am not anti-woman. I'm married to one.20:19Without a doubt, my absolute most favorite human on the planet is a woman. And there's not even a close second. Okay, I'm not anti-woman. I'm not anti-woman. My mother, rest her soul, my mother was a woman. My sister, also a woman. We have so many faithful servants of Christ here in this church.20:48at this church.20:49I am not anti-woman.20:51I am not anti-woman.20:55But I'm also very much pro-Bible.21:00And the Bible straightforwardly says that the role of pastor, elder, preacher, shepherd, all the same thing.21:10The Bible clearly says that role is for men.21:17It's not my opinion.21:19That wasn't the consensus of the elder think tank. That's what the Bible says. Now you said you'd hear me out. There are so many arguments for pro-women pastors. So many arguments. I'm just going to share a few of them. Some people argue pro-woman pastor. Some people say, hey, hey, hey, look, Women are equal.21:49All right.21:50That's awfully sexist of you.21:52Women are equal.21:53Yes.21:54Yes.21:56Women aren't equal, but equal does not mean the same.22:02Equal does not mean we all have the same roles.22:04Where you work, I'm sure that you're equal with your boss.22:09But you have different roles.22:11Okay.22:13So yes, equal.22:15Not same.22:18Here's another pro-woman-pastor argument I've heard several times. Like, I know this woman pastor and she's fantastic. I went to this church and they had this woman pastor. She's fantastic. It just doesn't matter how good of a speaker you thought she was. A woman pastor is not a thing. Study your Bibles. There is no teaching in the Old Testament.22:45for installing a woman as a priest. And there's no teaching in the New Testament on how to install a woman as a pastor. In fact, all of the instructions for priests in the Old Testament, for pastors, shepherds, elders in the New Testament, it's directed towards men. Titus 1.6 says that elders, pastors should be the husband of one wife. Assuming, Paul was assuming that this was a, role for men.23:18But as soon as you say that, as soon as you say, well, there's no example of women pastors in the Bible.23:25As soon as you say that, some of you might already be thinking it.23:31Somebody thinks they got the trump card on that.23:33They're like, ah, what about Deborah?23:39You heard that one?23:39What about Deborah?23:43Deborah?23:43If you're unfamiliar with the story, I'll paraphrase it for you. Judges chapters 4 and 5. God called a man named Barak to serve him in leading Israel, and he wussed out. And Deborah had to step up and lead, because the man that God called was a chicken.24:16Oh, by the way, this is in the book of Judges. Deborah wasn't a pastor. All right. She wasn't even a priest. She was a military leader. That's what a judge was. Oh, and by the way, if you're looking in your Bible for examples on how to faithfully love and serve and obey and follow the Lord, I would not suggest going to the book of Judges for examples of that. Have you read the book of Judges? It is the craziest book of the Bible. Everyone did what was right in their own eyes. The stuff that happens is just crazy. But somebody comes along and says, well, Deborah. Deborah wasn't a pastor. Deborah wasn't a pastor. But then our more New Testament minded people, say, oh, I know who, you say no woman pastors, but what about, what about, what about Tequila and Priscilla? And I'm like, well, it's Akila and Priscilla, but I know who you're talking about. Acts chapter 18. These two together taught Apollos the way of the Lord more excellently, but it doesn't say anything in that passage about Priscilla being a pastor. It just doesn't say that. It'd be like if a newer believer came to church today, all fired up, all fired up, and their theology is a little off. And I'm like, hey, why don't you go to lunch with the calls? And Matt and Lexi take this person to lunch and teach them the Word of God. That doesn't make Lexi a pastor, all right?26:13A disciple maker, yes, but not a pastor. Neither was Priscilla. But here by far is the biggest objection that you hear. You know it's coming. When you say, well, you shouldn't have women pastors. The Bible says you shouldn't have women pastors. You know what the number one objection is to that. Well, that was just cultural. You hear that one? That was just cultural.26:43back then. What you have to understand in the first century Corinth culture, the first century Ephesian culture, what you've got to understand about the first century culture is they really hated women back then. Look at what Paul told Timothy, 1 Timothy 2. We're not going to unpack all this, but I just want you to see one thing here. Paul says, I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man. Rather, she is to remain quiet. Exactly what he says here. 1 Corinthians 14. Look, for Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Now, we're not going to unpack all that, but just one thing I want you to note. Paul's reasoning. Paul's reasoning that the woman is not to teach, or preach in church? His reasoning, is it cultural or is it theological? What's his reason? It's theological. And I've had people come at me hard wanting to argue this, and I show them this passage, and their answer is, well, it looks theological, but, but, no, no, no, Corinthian culture. Like, no, no, no, but, look, his reasoning is theological. You can study that yourself. Look at verse 34 again.28:11Back in 1 Corinthians 14. Look at the last phrase here. He says, they are not permitted to speak, but look at this, but should be in submission as the law also says. As the law also says. Again, is his reasoning culture or theological? Like, well, what law? Authority was established at creation. Genesis 3, verse 16.28:43Women are not to be in authority over men, but in submission. And as soon as you say submission, people ready to throw down. Cash me outside, right? You're ready to fight. Because people think that when we say submission, what we mean is weakness. And we've preached this, we've taught this so many times, submission is not weakness.29:11Jesus Christ was in perfect submission to his father for every single thing that he did. You would not dare call him weak. Submission is strength. It takes strength to trust God by submitting to God's established authority. That takes strength. So we talk about women pastors, women not being pastors. We're not talking about issues of equality or talent or ability. We're just we're talking about roles. It's just roles.29:41God says, here's things that I want men to do, and here's things I want women to do. It's just that. And I got to tell you, church, I agree with the late, great John MacArthur, who many times I've heard him teach. The most obvious evidence that a church has abandoned the Word of God is when they have a woman pastor. He goes on. Look at verse 35.30:13He says, if there's anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home.30:19For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.30:26It's shameful for a woman to speak in church.30:28The word shameful means it's a blemish on the church.30:32Not what it says.30:33Speak in church.30:34Speak.30:36Look at the context of the passage.30:37That's why we study the Bible in its context.30:40When it says speak, It's not like a woman walks in the door here. Hi, hi, where's your bathroom? It's like, keep your mouth shut, woman! Take your pagan ways out of here! You are not to speak. Look at the context. What's he talking about? He's talking about teaching and preaching in the church service, right? That's the obvious context. Yes, women can teach women. The Bible says, Titus chapter 2. Children.31:11He's talking here that a woman should not be up here preaching to the whole congregation. You have questions? He says, don't just shout them out in church. Men, don't do that either, all right? If you have questions, ask them in small group, ask them in Bible study, ask them in precepts, ask them whatever. Just not during church service, right? He says, ask your husbands. So husbands, You may be ready to answer some questions, especially after this sermon. If you don't have a husband, if you don't have a husband, a brother, a parent, a small group leader, an elder, yeah, if you're not married, I'm sure any of our elders would be glad to take a phone call from you and answer a question. See, God has a plan for order.32:10roles in the church. Faith means I trust God by doing things His way. And I know, look, I know. I know I'm going to get some texts and I'm going to get some emails because people are going to want to argue this. Right? And in Paul's day, as he wrote this letter and sent it off, He knew that people were going to want to argue this. Which is why I can honestly say I'm so thankful for this last section. Number four, Paul says none of this is up for debate. He knows as soon as you say, look, women should not be pastors. Women should not be preaching in church. People want to fight. And Paul says it's not up for debate.33:09liberal, church-minded, charismatic, feminist objections. And he goes pretty hard in the paint in the end of this. All right? So brace yourself. Look at verse 36. He says, or was it from you that the Word of God came? Or are you the only ones that has reached? See, Paul knew there were people going to read this, and they're like, I really think we should all speak in tongues. And I really think women should be pastors. And Paul's like, oh, oh, are you the authority? Oh, I'm sorry. Did somebody die and make you the expert? That's what Paul's saying. No. Look at verse 37. He says, if anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a commandment.34:09of the Lord. Listen, if you're spiritual, if you're really mature in your faith, you're going to acknowledge that this is from God. It's not cultural. It's not man's opinion. It's not something to be argued. Paul says God is commanding all of this. Verse 38. Pretty straightforward verse. Look at verse 38. He says, if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.34:41Paul says, if you refuse to accept this, we refuse to accept you.34:50That's pretty straightforward.34:53Paul's saying, listen, a woman pastor is not a pastor.34:58And you're like, well, I think she is.34:59Paul's like, well, we don't recognize you.35:05Paul says, a church without order is not a church.35:08You can call yourself what you want.35:10But if you're calling yourself a church, but you're not having a worship service that follows an order and follows these biblical guidelines for teaching and for roles, because you're just not a church.35:27If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.35:30So, verse 39, so my brothers, Earnestly desire to prophesy and do not forbid speaking in tongues. That's the call back to everything that we've talked about in this section. Prophecy, tongues, they were legit gifts in those days. The way that God used them. And that's what Paul's saying here. He goes, yeah, there's legit gifts here. Do them appropriately. Do it right. Do it right. And verse 40.36:04All of this was the introduction. Here's the sermon. Verse 40 is really the thesis of the whole passage. Paul says, but all things should be done decently and in order. Decently. The word decently means beautifully. It means in order. You're like, well, how are, What does that mean? You know, it would be like a man looking at his wife. Say, you know, you're put together perfectly. Everything is just in the right place. And you, everything is just, you're beautiful because there's just such an order and structure to you. Man, don't say that.37:05Everything just fits together on you. Maybe not, but you see the point. Everything fits together. Like, it's all working. It's all in harmony. It's so beautiful. That's what he's saying your worship service needs to be. Everything should fit together. Everything should be harmonious, beautiful. Your Bible might translate it decent.37:34It says, in order, in order, sequence, not chaos. Sequence, not chaos. God is beautiful. God has perfect harmony. And God rules the universe with clear order. So a worship service absolutely must reflect the God that we worship.38:04So our worship team makes their way up. I'd like you to bow your heads with me please. Father in heaven, sometimes your ways are hard to explain. But you haven't commanded us to explain you. You've commanded us to obey you. And your word is very clear.38:35that when we come together to worship, there are things that must happen, there are some things that must not happen.38:46And I'm sure as we go through this, I'm sure some point of this message, for every single one of us, probably each of us have experienced some point of tension.39:01Father help us to be like the Bereans look closely at your word are these things true and resolve that we're all called to submission ultimately Father we're called to submission to you and your word so I pray Father for Harvest Bible Chapel that as we gather for worship I pray Father that there is building up I pray that people are encouraged and edified.39:35And I pray, Father, that you look at all of this and you would regard it as beautiful.39:45You deserve everything we can give you.39:50You deserve so much more than that.39:53But let our hearts, Father, worship you in spirit and in truth.39:59We pray in Jesus' name.40:01Amen.

Summary“An Unsurpassed Opportunity” is a reminder of the incredible privilege we have as believers to communicate directly with God through prayer. Prayer is more than asking God to fix our problems. It is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Him, seek His wisdom, find peace, and learn to trust His direction.Submitting to God means surrendering our plans, worries, expectations, and future to Him, even when His answer doesn't look like what we expected. We may not always understand what God is doing, but we can trust that He sees what we cannot see. Through prayer, surrender, and faith, God can restore, establish, strengthen, and settle us as we continue growing spiritually.TakeawaysMake prayer your first response, not your last resort.Submission to God requires trust, especially when His answer differs from what you wanted.Prayer may not immediately change your circumstances, but it can change your heart, perspective, and response.God can use difficult seasons to strengthen your faith and deepen your dependence on Him.Prayer includes both talking to God and taking time to listen for His direction.You don't need perfect words to pray. Come to God just as you are.Surrender isn't giving up; it's giving your situation over to God.God's timing may not match yours, but you can trust that He knows what you need and when you need it.Key Points1. Prayer is a privilege.Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us that God invites us to call upon Him. We have access to God in every season of life.2. Submission means releasing control.True surrender says, “God, this is what I want, but I trust what You know.”3. Prayer produces peace.Sometimes the situation doesn't immediately change after we pray, but God gives us the strength and peace to walk through it differently.4. Difficult seasons can develop us.Challenges can teach patience, wisdom, discernment, endurance, and greater dependence on God.5. Listen as well as speak.Make room in your prayer life to ask, “Lord, what are You trying to teach me?”6. Trust God with the outcome.We don't have to understand everything to trust God. He sees the entire picture while we can only see what's in front of us.Final ReminderPray before you panic. Pray before you react. Pray while you wait. Pray when you're struggling, and pray when you're blessed.Prayer is an unsurpassed opportunity to remain connected to God. You may not know what tomorrow holds, but you can trust the One who does.

In Ephesians 5:21–33, Bo Noonan explores God's design for marriage through the call to mutual service, submission, and sacrificial love. Paul challenges husbands and wives to reflect Christ's relationship with the church through their marriage. Wives are called to respect and submit to their husbands, while husbands are called to love their wives selflessly and sacrificially. Together, these instructions point to a marriage shaped not by self-interest, but by the love and service of Christ.

Romans 13 is one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture. It is often reduced to a simple command to obey the government, but Paul is making a much deeper point. God created governing authority for a specific purpose: to establish order, promote good, and punish evil. That means government is accountable to God, not the other way around. When the state oversteps its God-given role and begins to replace God as the definer of truth and morality, Christians are not called to silent compliance. Submission to authority is the starting point, not the whole story. God has placed His people in every sphere of life, from the home to the workplace to the public square, to be salt and light. Christians are not passive observers. They are His representatives wherever He has placed them.

We are exploring 1 Peter 2 and 3. In these passages, Peter discusses how, as believers, we are required to submit to the government, our employers, and our spouses. The revelation we are processing is the importance of submission in the life of the believer. Submission is not just about wives submitting to their husbands—all believers are under a requirement of submission. __________ 1 Peter 2:13-25 KJV, 1 Peter 3:1-7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

David Perez teaches on August 2, 2026.

David says, "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures"; emphasizing the word "maketh" = causes, forces, leads, teaches, trains. For many believers, the problem lies in their thinking that green pastures are a destination they arrive at by choice or chance, instead of it being a result of submission to and the following of the great shepherd of their soul.

Studie in 1 Peter: 10 Submission to the State - 1 Peter 2:13-17

In this episode, Exy uncovers a massive historical lie. Before colonial borders were drawn, African women were female kings, market queens, political co-rulers, and military commanders. The rigid, quiet, domestic roles peddled as African tradition today aren't ancestral at all, they're the leftover, dusty laws of 19th-century Victorian Europe.We're stripping away the colonial paint to find the real queens underneath. It's time to stop polishing the colonizer's chains and calling them our heritage.

Does the Bible teach male headship? Yes. I examine Genesis 3:16 where God told Eve "your desire will be to your husband, and he will rule over you." I argue that it refers to the woman's desire to exercise authority over her husband rather than submit to his authority. I also make the case that female submission to male headship was not introduced in Gen 3:16, but part of creation order in Genesis 2. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

In this message, Pastor Mark looks at the themes of submission, sacrifice, and honor in relationships, focusing on marriage, family dynamics, parenting, and work.

Introduction What happens when the personal lines book that carried an agency for years stops feeling safe? Rising home and auto rates, constant remarketing, and carriers pulling back have pushed a lot of independent agencies to look at commercial lines as the way to build a more resilient book. The appetite for the business has always been there. The submission process is what gets in the way. On this episode of the Insurtech Leadership Podcast, host Joshua Hollander sits down with Michael Rabinowitz, who leads commercial lines product for EZLynx at Applied Systems. Rabinowitz started on the agency side when commercial rating meant loading a floppy disk of carrier rates every month, and he has spent nearly three decades trying to make the work simpler. They get specific about why commercial has stayed hard, what changes when real-time carrier quoting moves inside the submission, and where AI actually helps an agent who is new to commercial. Guest Bio Michael Rabinowitz leads product management for the commercial lines business at EZLynx, part of Applied Systems, the largest provider of cloud software for insurance agencies in North America. His career in insurance spans nearly 30 years. He started on the agency side handling commercial submissions, then moved to the technology side around 2000 to work on some of the industry's early multi-carrier commercial rating. At EZLynx, he led the rearchitecture behind Instant Commercial Quoting, which brings real-time carrier rates into the EZLynx submission workflow. His focus has stayed consistent across all of it: build the tools he would have used as an agent, and make commercial simple enough that more agencies take it on. Key Topics -The resilient book - Why the personal lines hard market, with higher rates and heavier remarketing, is pushing agencies to diversify into commercial to stabilize the business. -The four-times problem - How one small commercial submission can mean entering the same data into three or four carrier portals, often eating the entire commission on the account. -Commercial by accommodation - Almost every personal lines agency already writes a few commercial policies for long-time customers, which makes commercial an extension of existing relationships rather than a cold start. -Real-time appetite - Why carrier appetite now shifts day to day, and how live rating inside the submission changes which carriers get seen first. -AI as an accelerant - How AI helps with class-code and NAICS lookups and catches misclassification, like the ice cream shop that is really a manufacturer, so newer commercial agents build confidence. -Get out of the way - Rabinowitz's product philosophy that technology should cut context switching and re-keying, not add one more interface to learn. -Carriers and friction - Why carriers that make real-time connectivity easy will earn the first look, and the ones that do not may get left off the submission. Notable Quotes "For me to be doing my job correctly required me to enter in the data four times. That is a tremendous amount of time wasted for maybe a two thousand dollar premium. I've probably eaten up my commission, if not more, just on that activity alone." "I can't afford to have technology get in my way. Technology either helps me be more productive, or it causes me to lose opportunities." "They're not an ice cream store, they're actually an ice cream manufacturer. If you misclassify a business and bind the policy and there's a claim, that's a headache down the road waiting to happen." "If they have to go to five markets and only three are on real-time rating, they may go to those three first. As a carrier, you might get left off of a submission."

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Marriage works best when both sides bend toward each other the way Christ bent toward us.

We were made by a Maker to be makers. Bruce Herman joins Evan Rosa to diagnose the quiet illness of a passive consumer culture that trains us to sit in front of screens and scroll and take, rather than make. “When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy.“ His cure is stubbornly ordinary: go make a loaf of bread, grab a stick and start carving, make a good meal or a good cocktail for the person visiting you—anything is resistance to this hypnotic, passive culture. From episode 216 of the podcast, in this segment, Herman traces what it means to receive art not as a consumer but through submission—not master and slave, but subject to subject, that vulnerable openness that lets a poem or a painting change your life. He reflects on making as human wholeness, the difference between art and info-tainment, why suffering can rip us open to beauty (from Walker Percy's writing to Christian Wiman's poetry), Rilke's charge that “you must change your life,“ hospitality as the ultimate act of art, and Herman's closing counsel to make out of love, not fear. Episode Highlights We are in relationship, and we were made by a Maker to be makers. If we let that go somehow and we become mere consumers, I think we begin to enter into some kind of illness of one sort or another. When we're not making something, we're not whole. We're not healthy. And I don't want to make an idol out of health either, but I do think our culture is unhealthy right now. We think of it as, we're discerning buyers. But the fact is we're being turned into very passive creatures. One of the best things you can do is go make a loaf of bread. Go out and grab a stick and start carving it. Anything is resistance to this sort of hypnotic passive culture. If you want to really receive what a poem is communicating, you have to submit to it. You have to let yourself go and enter into what might feel like a bad risk of being changed. Not submit in a sense that I'm a master and you're my slave. It's more like you're a subject and I'm a subject. Mutual submission. We're so guarded so much of the time that it takes something catastrophic to open us up again. Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist. You can't help it. You were made by a Maker to be a maker. End of story. The ultimate act of art is hospitality, where you're welcoming someone in, to make something beautiful for them. Challenge the bad news with a recognition that daily kindnesses are being poured out everywhere, on every street. Don't give in to fear, because it's not a basis for anything good.

The illusion of control while being trained to take Screens and scrolling Political theater and infotainment—very little real journalism left, mostly consumer entertainment Neil Postman and amusing ourselves to death as the frame for the diagnosis Making as resistance—bake bread, carve a stick, do anything against the hypnotic pull Reception as submission—a word out of fashion, reclaimed away from enslavement Mutual submission—the erotic analogy, and desire's corruption in the sexual sins To receive a poem you must risk being changed Rilke's Grecian torso and the charge, you must change your life Subject to subject, not master and slave Walker Percy's museum story—a painting that blazed into life, then went quiet Bringing a friend to re-enter the original encounter vicariously The workman through the skylight—catastrophe reopens what habit had closed Guardedness—why it can take suffering to break us open Christian Wiman—cancer, poetry, and being ripped open toward receptivity You might be changed, and it might not be what you wanted; the risk of real encounter Make from love, not fear Do away with the nonsense that you're not an artist Everyday making—a loaf, a meal, a good cocktail, hospitality Hospitality as the ultimate art; George Steiner's Real Presences and courtesia Beauty can be complex, not merely pretty Fear-mongers left and right—and why not to listen Daily kindnesses—the neighbor, the shoveled driveway, the half-decent casserole Welcome to the festival; let the festival begin #BruceHerman #MakersByNature #ForTheLifeOfTheWorld #FaithAndArt #TheologyOfMaking #ArtAndFaith #Creativity #Hospitality #MakeNotConsume #YaleFaithAndCulture

When you hear the word submission, what comes to mind? For a lot of people, it's control. Silence. Inequality. A woman losing her voice. But what if that's not what the Bible is describing at all? In this episode, we sit down with three Christian women who have lived out biblical submission in marriage and ask the questions people are actually wrestling with.No clichés or stereotypes, just an honest conversation about what Scripture teaches and what it looks like in real life.We talk about why submission has become one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christianity and why God's design is far more beautiful than most people realize.We'll talk about:- What biblical submission actually is and what it isn't- Why Ephesians 5 begins with “submit to one another”- Whether submission means a woman loses her voice or identity- What submission looks like during real disagreements- How to respond when your husband isn't leading well- Where the line is between honoring your husband and saying “no”- Whether the trad wife movement is biblical or just an aesthetic- What submission looks like when the wife earns more, leads more, or is more spiritually mature- How to know if a man is actually worthy of your trust before marriage- Whether submission has any place in dating and engagement- Why God's design for marriage is meant to help both husband and wife flourishThis isn't a conversation about making women smaller. It's about understanding God's design well enough to discover the freedom that's actually inside it.Whether you're married, dating, engaged, or simply trying to understand what the Bible teaches, we hope this conversation brings clarity to one of the most debated topics in Christian relationships.Let's talk about it
