After The War came to Fellowship Baptist Church, Bobby reflects on the joy of watching God use the next generation, especially as his son David recruited teens, helped in the invitation, and personally led several young men to Christ. But the episode moves beyond one exciting week of outreach to a bigger challenge from the Great Commission: every Christian has a next mission. If you have received the gospel, your next step is to grow; and as you grow, God calls you to go help others grow too. Topics Discussed The return of The War under Austin Brownlee's leadership Watching God use young people in evangelism David Bosler recruiting teens and leading several to Christ The follow-up event after The War: “The Next Mission” Matthew 28 and the Great Commission The receiving side of the Great Commission: grow The sending side of the Great Commission: go Baptism as the first step after salvation Surrendering to God's next step in your life Helping others take their next step without pride or condescension Depending on Christ's presence and power to fulfill His mission Key Takeaways Every saved young person has a next step. The first step after salvation is believer's baptism. Christian growth does not stop with one decision; God wants obedience in all things. The Great Commission is not only something you receive, but something you obey. God calls growing Christians to help others grow. You do not have to feel fully prepared before God can use you. Christ's mission requires surrender, but it also comes with His enabling presence. God wants to use you to make a difference in someone else's life.

Listen in as Charlotte welcomes guests Heather Creekmore and Doris Swift.  Heather and Doris are authors, speakers, podcast hosts and more. And they are aging gratefully with us! Heather wrote Aging Gratefully, Compared to Who? and The Comparison Free Life. Doris wrote Surrender the Joy Stealers. All books are available on Amazon. Friends, these books are so helpful, and we need them.  In this podcast episode, we talk about struggles many women face but rarely speak about openly: body image, midlife, how to age gratefully and what comes to steal our joy as we juggle so much in our encore years. Heather shares a bit about her own journey, one that many of us women have struggled with - years of dieting, disordered eating, and the belief that changing our body would finally bring happiness. Marriage and motherhood don't resolve these struggles. For Heather, a message about modern-day idolatry led to a powerful awakening in her heart. Charlotte and Doris have their own body image journeys and share from the heart as well. Cultural messages fuel our obsession with appearance, how comparison robs us of our joy, and why true freedom comes from understanding our God-given identity—not from pursuing the latest health trend or fitting into a certain pair of jeans.  Doris shares about what led her to write her power Bible study, Surrender the Joy Stealers, and how we can stand firm and stand against what threatens our joy. It's a task that requires daily surrender and intentionality.  Whether you've battled body image insecurities, comparison in any area of your life, or the pressures of aging in a looks-obsessed world, this honest and hope-filled conversation will inspire you to pursue joy, purpose, and your fierce calling right where you are. Speaking of Fierce Calling, that is the name of Doris's podcast. Heather's is called Compared to Who? You'll want to tune in to both. Get ready for truths, laughter, encouragement, and the reminder that you are so much more than a number on a scale, a face in the mirror or a person juggling much in the empty nest. Together, and with Christ at the center of it all, we can have a full and joy-filled life.  To reach Heather Creekmore, click here.  To purchase her books, click below:  Aging Gratefully Compared to Who? The Burden of Better  To reach Doris Swift, click here:  To purchase Doris's book, click below:  Surrender the Joy Stealers  To reach Charlotte, click here.  To subscribe to Charlotte's Bible Plan, Living Fully in the Empty Nest, click here.

Have you ever wondered if Chirch is only for those who have it all together? Have you avoided talking about God's holiness because you feel unsure if you can live up to it or worry about what God might expect from you?Pastor Jonathan leans in, reminding us that it can be humbling and even a bit scary to see how far we are from God's expectations. But he doesn't stop at the discomfort.From Isaiah to Peter to Moses, he gives a hopeful message: God doesn't bring you near to hurt you, but to heal you. What feels like being cut down could actually be God clearing space for something new and whole to grow. Even our seasons of pride or running away from God or running on borrowed faith aren't the end. The are invitations to see God, surrender, and be transformed.Scriptures ReferencedExodus 3:1-6; 2 Chronicles 26:1-23; Isaiah 6:1-13; Ezekiel 1:26-28; Luke 5:7-8; Galatians 5:19-26; Philippians 3:8; 1 Peter 1:14-15Key InsightsGod's holiness is present in His mercy and grace.When we see God's holiness, we are undone, but there is life in surrender and transformation.Approaching faith casually can lead to spiritual drift or pride.The path to renewal begins with humility and letting God “cut away” what doesn't belong.Key Sections00:00:00 - The Vision of HolinessIsaiah's experience shows how foreign and overpowering God's holiness is. It makes people feel small, but it also drives us to want to understand more and to change for the better.00:04:29 - Wrestling with HolinessIt seems like we seldom talk about holiness. There's a shared discomfort and inability to articulate something so awe-inspiring as God's holiness. Yet knowing His holiness is vital to knowing Him.00:08:21 - Responding with HumilityWhen we compare ourselves to others, we can feel pretty good about ourselves. But when we see the true standard of God's holiness, we are led away from pride and into deep humility.00:14:27 - God Closes the GapEven though we want to avoid what reveals our flaws, God shows us a path to closeness through sacrifice. This proves that He wants to restore us, not judge us, and that His holiness highlights His love and mercy.00:17:14 - Lessons from UzziahUzziah's life is both a warning and an encouragement. Trusting in someone else's faith or being too proud can lead to failure. However, knowing God personally and staying humble helps us stay close to Him and fulfill His purpose.00:24:57 - The Gift and Danger of Repeated ExposureComing close to sacred things without respect creates spiritual callousness. Real healing happens when we surrender and let God show us and take away our pain instead of hiding it or arguing with Him.00:28:46 - Surrendering for RestorationHumility and surrender—not performing or pretending—are the only ways to step forward into God's healing and restoration, moving us from brokenness to belonging.00:33:29 - Letting God Heal What HurtsWe should let God heal our deep wounds. It ends by encouraging us that getting rid of unhealthy things helps us get ready for new life. It concludes with hope and invites us to respond through worship.https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/arise-in-holinessSubscribe & Follow the PodcastDownload our appOur WebsiteOnline Tithes & OfferingsJoin our LivestreamGathering TimesSundays, 9:00 AMSundays, 11:00 AMThursdays, 6:00 PMContact InfoSpringhouse Church14119 Old Nashville HighwaySmyrna TN 37167615-459-3421CCLI License 2070006

It's been a hot minute since George and Mike last recorded an episode!  Surrendering to the inevitable aging process and time itself, George and Mike talk about what life is like in their 50's and how things have changed over the years.   Chugging Pepto, taking Cialis, prostate issues... there's nothing the two don't talk about in his hilarious comeback Season 8 episode.

We heard a great word today from Pastor Luc Lombardi on Romans 12. Surrendering to God's work of transformation, recognizing our role in the body, and really loving each other, is a dream worth hitching ourselves to.

What if the exhaustion you feel isn't burnout at all?What if the endless pursuit of success, recognition, optimization, achievement, health protocols, retreats, supplements, and peak experiences is actually masking a deeper hunger?In this powerful solo episode, Kellan challenges one of the biggest misconceptions of modern personal development. Many people spend their lives trying to solve spiritual problems with physical solutions. They chase more success, more validation, more performance, more experiences, and more self-improvement—yet still feel empty.Kellan shares personal stories about health challenges, including recent heart issues, and explains why none of those circumstances have diminished his daily experience of joy. He reveals the distinction between feeding the body and nourishing the spirit, why optimization has become a respectable hiding place, and what it actually takes to experience lasting purpose, prosperity, and joy.If you've ever felt like you've achieved more but somehow feel less fulfilled, this conversation may expose the real source of the hunger you've been trying to satisfy.Key Takeaways:• Why success, recognition, and possessions fail to satisfy deeper longing• The difference between happiness and joy• How Kellan maintains joy despite significant health challenges• The epidemic of seeking fulfillment in the wrong places• Social media validation and the addiction to recognition• Why optimization cannot answer spiritual questions• Physical nourishment versus spiritual nourishment• The dangers of performance theater and image management• Why peak experiences don't replace daily transformation• Silence, prayer, reverence, and spiritual practice• The role of humility, confession, and repentance• Surrendering ego and listening for truth• Creating a daily practice that nourishes the spirit• Living with purpose, prosperity, and joy

This episode continues a special series featuring stories and reflections from those who traveled to Egypt with Nichole Bigley. In this candid and heartfelt conversation, Nichole reconnects with her dear friend Christine Schiefer to reflect on the profound energetic, emotional, and spiritual experiences that unfolded throughout their journey. Although Egypt had been on Christine's bucket list since childhood, the pilgrimage became far more than a trip to ancient sites. It evolved into an unexpected journey of surrender, healing, and deep personal transformation. Together, Nichole and Christine explore the powerful emotions that surfaced in sacred spaces, moments of intuitive knowing and soul remembrance, and how learning to let experiences unfold without expectation became one of the journey's greatest lessons. Tune in to hear Nichole and Christine talk about: Surrendering and trusting the journey Emotional healing at sacred sites in Egypt Intuition, soul remembrance, and spiritual awakening The transformative energy of the Isis Temple Letting go of expectations and embracing the unknown Returning home with greater clarity and trust Perhaps the greatest takeaway from Christine's experience is that healing doesn't always come through seeking — it often arrives through surrender. By releasing expectations and trusting the unfolding journey, she found clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to herself. And that invitation is available to all of us — any time and wherever we are.

The hosts amplify intense conservative panic and backlash surrounding the newly unsealed U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Pointing to blisters of criticism from *The New York Post* and *National Review*, the segment dissects leaked terms indicating the U.S. will prematurely lift its naval blockade, hand control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, and permit un-sanctioned oil sales—all just to secure a 60-day window of technical talks. Citing a warning from General Jack Keane, the show disputes Trump and JD Vance's assertions that the arrangement protects against nuclear expansion, arguing instead that the absolute capitulation strips the U.S. and Israel of all geopolitical leverage.

In Week 3 of our Summer at Bethlehem series, our good friend Pastor Mike Linch joins us to share a life-changing word on what it truly means to discover our identity and calling in Christ. Continuing our summer journey through the scriptures that have fundamentally shaped our lives, Pastor Mike takes us to the shores of Galilee in Luke 5:1–11.   Too many of us spend our lives chasing worldly definitions of success, building our own plans, and exhausting ourselves in our own strength—only to end up with empty nets. Through the story of Simon Peter's miraculous catch of fish, this message confronts our need for control and serves as a powerful guide on how to shift from our personal ambitions to a life of true, kingdom-altering impact.

First Things Wk 3: “First Trust: Surrendering Control to God” What we trust determines what we fear, how we plan, and how freely we give. Stewardship is not about managing scarcity but trusting God's sufficiency, not just with our finances but with our whole lives.

What if the biggest obstacle to what God wants to do in your life is not opposition, but control? Pastor Bailey takes us into the story of Jacob and a family that spent years striving, manipulating, and forcing outcomes. This message challenges us to consider what happens when we stop trying to make everything work on our own and finally place our trust in God's hands. Sometimes the breakthrough comes not through striving harder, but through surrendering deeper.

Sometimes God asks us to leave behind everything familiar so He can lead us into the purpose we were truly created for.Comfort.Security.Plans.Even the life we thought we wanted.In this powerful and inspiring conversation, John Martin sits down with Felix Amwayi to share a testimony of radical surrender, bold faith, and living fully for the Kingdom of God.Originally from Kenya, Felix had what many people would consider a dream life. He held a respected government job, had financial stability, and was building a secure future. But in the middle of that success, God began speaking to his heart with an unexpected call:“Go to America.”At first, Felix resisted. In fact, he didn't even want to come to America. The culture felt unfamiliar, distant, and uncomfortable to him. But God continued to pursue his heart and eventually gave him a powerful dream that changed everything.In the dream, Felix saw a woman preparing to take her own life. As he pleaded with her not to do it, he suddenly heard himself say:“I'm going to resign my job tomorrow.”The moment he surrendered, the woman lowered the gun.When Felix woke up, he knew God was calling him to obey.Leaving behind security, career stability, finances, and everything familiar, Felix stepped out in faith and moved to Florida to attend Bible school—even though he knew almost no one there.What followed became a testimony of God's faithfulness.Felix shares how the Lord provided for him step by step: from housing, friendships, financial provision, and divine connections, to completely transforming his perspective on purpose and evangelism.While attending Bible school, Felix realized something that changed his life forever:We were not created to live for ourselves—we were created to make Jesus known.Since then, he has devoted his life to boldly sharing the Gospel everywhere he goes:On airplanes.In airports.On beaches.In businesses.On the streets.With strangers.With anyone willing to listen.Felix passionately explains that many people are simply waiting for someone to notice them, pray for them, and remind them that God loves them. He believes too many believers stay silent because of fear, insecurity, or distraction—while countless people around them are desperate for hope.One of the most powerful themes in this conversation is surrender.Felix reminds listeners that true purpose begins when we stop living only for ourselves and start living for what matters eternally. He challenges believers to stop allowing distractions, comfort, and fear to keep them from fulfilling the purpose God created them for.This conversation is filled with encouragement for anyone wrestling with obedience, fear, uncertainty, or purpose:God can be trusted.Obedience opens doors.And surrender leads to transformation.Felix encourages listeners to:Spend daily time with God in His Word.Get connected to a Christ-centered church.Surround themselves with healthy Christian community.And boldly share the love of Jesus wherever they go.You were created for more than survival.You were created for purpose.And your obedience may change someone else's eternity.What's one thing God may be asking you to surrender so you can fully walk in His purpose for your life?For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Title of this lecture (speech): "SURRENDERING TO LIFE'S FLOW & PURPOSE". Speaker:

What if the reason you keep attracting the wrong people has less to do with them... and more to do with the version of yourself you're presenting to the world? In this solo episode of Harder Than Life, Kelly explores authenticity, attraction, validation, and the relationship patterns that many people unknowingly repeat. Drawing from his own dating experiences, healing journey, and recent therapy work, Kelly shares how chasing external validation created chaos in his relationships — and how learning to be authentic changed what he was drawn to and what he was attracted to. This conversation challenges cultural messages around beauty, status, success, and attention, while encouraging listeners to focus on the deeper work of becoming comfortable in their own skin. If you've ever wondered why the same relationship patterns keep showing up, this episode offers a different perspective. Key Takeaways

Gene Zannetti talks with Tennessee state champion Reed Loeffel about winning his first state title as a senior after joining Wrestling Mindset just two to three months before the tournament, how staying present and surrendering the outcome were the two biggest tools that kept him from choking on the biggest stage, pinning a two-time state champion in the finals who had beaten him twice during the season, and why even wrestlers who don't think they have a mindset problem can benefit from just having someone to talk to.Timestamps:2:30 - Joining Wrestling Mindset two to three months before states3:02 - Staying present and not thinking ahead 3:43 - Surrendering the outcome, learning how to actually apply it4:02 - Even without a big problem, just talking to someone about mindset makes a huge difference6:44 - Wrestling completely free after the comeback7:27 - Finals day: staying present through eight to ten hours of waiting8:17 - State finals: pinned a kid who had beaten him twice during the season11:18 - Training five to six times a week with club, headed to Stevens Institute of Technology

In the midst of Preston "Surrendering" to his current medical treatments and illness, we thought what better time to have an episode about the many variations of surrender in life and in art. These variations are taken from three different episodes from seasons 2, 4, and 6 of the podcast, and cover surrendering to the present moment and flow, surrendering wanted outcomes and refocusing on process, and finally surrendering in is most pure form; using it as a tool to adapt, refocus and grow as artists and human beings. We hope you will find this useful and inspiring, and that you find many different nuggets of wisdom that you can apply to your own life and art. Enjoy!For more information on Preston M.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme, “Discipleship.” Jim Daly joined us to talk about the spiritual landscape facing families today and how parents can live an authentic faith that draws their children toward Christ rather than pushing them away. Jim is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Focus on the Family and the host of the podcast. We then had Dr. Ronald Sauer join us to explain why the Holy Spirit is essential to the Christian life, guiding believers into truth, empowering daily obedience, and giving parents hope as they pray for their children. Dr. Sauer is the host of the podcast “Quiet Time” and has served as a Professor of Bible and Greek at Moody Bible Institute for 35 years. We also had Dr. Crawford Loritts join us to explain why discipleship cannot happen apart from the Holy Spirit, who glorifies Christ, illuminates God’s Word, and transforms believers from the inside out.

Surrendering our plans to the Lord is rarely easy. Every step can be met with questions, doubts, and fears that press in on our decisions. And yet, as today's storyteller reminds us, it is in surrender that we discover true freedom.   On today's podcast, Ashley Stockard, who shared at our Vestavia, Alabama live gathering, reflects on her faith journey and the ways the Lord faithfully pursued her heart—drawing her in, capturing her attention, and ultimately leading her to live with open hands.   Through her story, Ashley gently reminds us that surrendering to the Lord, following His lead, and loving Him above all else is where our true identity is revealed and our purpose is found.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

One of the greatest privileges we have as spouses is coming before the Father and lifting up our marriage—leaning on Him for protection, provision, and strength. Today, special guests Brad and Heidi Mitchell join Dr. Kim to talk about how foundational prayer is for intimacy and the overall climate of your marriage. Many couples struggle to develop this rhythm—not because they don't want to, but because they simply don't know where to start. Be encouraged today as Brad and Heidi share from their newest book, Build Your Marriage With Prayer, and talk about how guided prayers, daily readings, and reflection questions can help couples grow a consistent and meaningful prayer life together.   Episode Highlights: Husbands don't have to know it all to lead- they can be simply willing to initiate. Wives can come alongside and encourage their husbands to step into the role God created them for.  Don't weaponize prayer against your spouse. Quotes from this Episode: Kim Kimberling Quotes: "The first time Nancy and I really started praying for something together and saw God show up, it was like, 'This is awesome.'" "Prayer bonds us together in a way nothing else really can." "Most guys feel inadequate spiritually, but prayer was never about performing." "You don't have to know more than your spouse to lead spiritually—you just have to initiate." "When couples begin praying together, they stop fighting against each other and start fighting for each other." "Inviting God into conflict changes conflict from something destructive into something that can grow your marriage." "The more we pray, the more prayer becomes part of the fabric of who we are." "God wants to be involved in the middle of our everyday lives—not just the big emergencies." "When you pray over your spouse, it creates empathy, connection, and unity." "Prayer gives God a chance to show up in your marriage over and over again." Brad Mitchell Quotes: "A lot of men don't pray with their wives because they're afraid of looking inadequate." "Men don't need to be spiritual experts—they just need to become spiritual initiators." "The things you most want to lean away from are often the very places God wants you to lean in." "When you pray about the issue instead of against each other, nobody wins or loses—God wins." "The enemy whispers, 'You're not good at this,' because he knows how powerful prayer is in marriage." "Every wife would love for her husband to stop and pray over her before the day begins." "Surrendering your schedule to God changes interruptions from frustrations into opportunities." "Prayer protects your marriage because it keeps both of you surrendered to God instead of fighting each other." Heidi Mitchell Quotes: "Make prayer a positive experience for your spouse, not a performance." "There's really no wrong way to come before God together." "Encouragement from a wife can completely change a husband's confidence in leading spiritually." "If prayer becomes weaponized, couples will stop wanting to pray together." "Not every thought deserves a place to stay in your mind." "Ask yourself: Does this thought line up with who God says my spouse is?" "Praying together helped us move from surface-level faith into authentic dependence on God." "When my husband prays for me, I feel protected, cared for, and truly seen." "The spiritual connection we share through prayer has become one of the greatest strengths in our marriage." Time to Talk About it: What would it look like for us to make prayer feel more natural and encouraging in our relationship instead of pressured or performative? Is there an area of our marriage right now where we've been "fighting each other" instead of "fighting for each other," and how could prayer help shift that?

In this episode, Fr. John Dear joins me to explore his latest book, Universal Love: Surrendering to the God of Peace and one of the core convictions at the center of it: genuine peacemaking begins not with better strategy or more effort, but with total surrender to the God of peace, to the will of God. We talk about what it looks like to take the Sermon on the Mount seriously, why following the non-violent Jesus is the way, and how the daily practice of "not my will, but yours" carries not only inner transformation, but political implications that go all the way to the streets.Fr. John Dear is an American peace activist, lecturer, author and Catholic priest residing in the Diocese of Monterey in California. Dear has written 40 books on Jesus, peace and nonviolence, and has been arrested 85 times in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience against war, injustice, poverty, racism, executions, nuclear weapons, and environmental destruction. He is the founder and director of the Beatitudes Center, where he offers the "Nonviolent Jesus Podcast". Fr.

Most people think surrendering to God is weakness.But what if surrender is actually the fastest path to breakthrough?In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, when someone locks in a submission hold, you have two choices:fight and suffer longer… or tap and reset.The interesting thing is this:The outcome doesn't change.What changes is how much pain you go through before you surrender.Faith often works the same way.Many people wrestle with God's direction for years when the breakthrough could begin the moment they surrender.In this episode, we explore the powerful parallel between jiu-jitsu and spiritual growth—and why learning to surrender may be the key to walking in the life God is calling you to.In this episode you'll discover:• Why resisting God often prolongs the struggle• The powerful lesson jiu-jitsu teaches about humility• How surrender positions you for growth and clarity• Why discipline and faith often grow togetherScripture ReflectionJames 4:7“Submit yourselves therefore to God…”If you enjoy conversations about faith, discipline, leadership, and purpose, subscribe for more episodes like this.

Is it officially time to rage drop Tanner Bibee after another blowout, or do the metrics suggest a major bounce-back is coming? Episode Summary Joe Bond and AJ Applegarth break down the top waiver wire adds, brutal drops, and key rankings movers for Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season. The crew details why pitchers like Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean are sliding down the rankings, and explains why struggling stars like Bo Bichette represent key buy-low opportunities rather than panic drops. Week 10 Fantasy Baseball Advanced Analytics & Strategic Breakdown The fantasy baseball landscape is shifting rapidly as we head into Week 10, requiring managers to separate raw surface statistics from true predictive indicators. The focal point of this week's analysis centers on Cleveland Guardians right-hander Tanner Bibee, whose disastrous outing against the Washington Nationals exposed massive vulnerabilities. Surrendering seven earned runs and an astounding five home runs over just three innings of work on Memorial Day sent shockwaves through fantasy rosters. Looking into his broader trajectory, a disturbing multi-year pattern emerges. Bibee's surface ERA has progressively climbed from 2.98 to 3.47, then to 4.24, and now sits at 4.57 for the season. Coupled with a 4.16 SIERA and a strikeout rate dropping below one punchout per inning, Bibee can no longer be viewed as an un-droppable asset. His underlying numbers indicate he has transitioned into a volatile, matchup-dependent option rather than a reliable rotation anchor. Pitching volatility dominates the landscape this week, highlighted by prominent rankings fallers Shota Imanaga and Nolan McLean. While some fantasy managers might react with panic to their downward slide in the rankings, it is crucial to analyze the shift structurally rather than assuming true skill regression. Shota Imanaga's dip reflects an expected correction after an incredibly hot stretch, making it an adjustment based on stabilizing underlying metrics. Meanwhile, Nolan McLean's slide serves as a reminder of how quickly pitching depth charts and small-sample performance can fluctuate in standard rankings models. Separating these structural rankings adjustments from complete profile collapses is what allows sharp managers to maximize their pitching rotations while others panic-drop viable assets. Conversely, the advanced data reveals lucrative buy-low windows for targets experiencing acute misfortune. Oakland Athletics slugger Brent Rooker stands out as a prime trade target despite a freezing cold spell that dragged his batting average down to .189 with a 52:17 strikeout-to-walk ratio. While his standard Savant page flashes concerning blue metrics, Rooker boasts a consistent multi-year track record of crossing the 30-home-run threshold. In an era where league-wide batting averages are depressed, maintaining a true 30-homer profile provides massive utility, making him an ideal target while his market value is rock bottom. Similarly, managers must remain disciplined with elite foundational bats like Freddie Freeman and Bo Bichette. Freeman's minor dip in the rankings represents a normal structural variation rather than a fundamental degradation of his elite plate discipline. Bo Bichette is another prime example of why surface-level struggles should not trigger a panic drop. While he appears as a "Homer Pick Drop" focus on the show due to recent visual adjustments and shifting team dynamics, his long-term track record remains undeniable. Bichette is not a true skills-based rankings faller to cut loose; instead, the underlying metrics suggest he remains an elite bounce-back candidate. Treating his depressed batting average as a structural buying window rather than a permanent anchor allows you to secure an elite infielder before his inevitable positive statistical correction occurs. On the waiver wire front, uncovering values requires a sharp focus on expected metrics and situational deployment. Washington Nationals starter Cade Cavalli has emerged as a high-priority addition, exhibiting elite command over his last three starts spanning 19.3 innings. Cavalli has posted a stellar 2.79 ERA, a 1.03 WHIP, and a spectacular 2.44 SIERA alongside 24 strikeouts—highlighted by consecutive 10-strikeout performances against Atlanta and the Mets. Backed by a highly potent Nationals offense, his run support floor remains high. Meanwhile, deep-league infielder options like Chase Meidroth of the Chicago White Sox and Blaze Alexander of the Baltimore Orioles offer flexible, multi-position eligibility. Meidroth benefits from hitting near the top of a White Sox lineup that unexpectedly ranks as the eighth-best offense by wRC+. Alexander provides elite short-term streaming upside, slashing .344 with a .913 OPS since mid-May, offering short-term category boosts while navigating structural gaps in the fantasy infield.

#423 In this podcast episode, Guy talked with Rob Wergin about current global instability as the end of a major human evolutionary cycle and a shift from years of healing into stabilizing, going within, and building coherence. Rob described fear as a powerful, useful energy that should be redirected into presence rather than fed through overwhelm, and he offered listeners a three-part "Overwhelm" video series via a link to his contact form. He shared his Egypt trip to the tomb of Master Zoser, who he said taught him a soul-to-soul transmission through the eyes using a soft, unfocused gaze to bypass the analytical mind and rapidly calm the nervous system. Rob led Guy and listeners through a brief eye-gazing exercise, after which Guy reported heat in his hands and feet and seeing "static" in the field. They also discussed how guides are perceived through the mind's "screen," the importance of boundaries, accelerated transformation, and Rob's view that many ailments stem from unexpressed or inherited emotions, especially fear.

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gillmore talks with Brother Fletcher about God's call on his life toward Bible translation, unreached people groups, and practical involvement in the Great Commission. Fletcher shares how God moved him from living for himself to surrendering to help reach the unreached, and how the Lord gave both direction and desire as he yielded to God's plan. The conversation also introduces Go Steps, a practical stream of ideas, testimonies, and encouragement designed to help young people take meaningful steps in missions right now. Whether through prayer, encouragement, adopting a people group, sharing testimonies, or simply refusing to get distracted from God's call, every young person can take a step forward in the Great Commission. Topics Discussed Fletcher's upbringing as a missionary kid Surrendering personal dreams to reach the unreached God's direction toward Bible translation and Southeast Asia How God gives joy and desire when we yield to His will The need for Bible translation among unreached people groups Serving churches during deputation instead of merely “getting support” Practical ways young people can be involved in missions now The purpose and launch of Go Steps Encouragement through WhatsApp testimonies and email updates Adopting an unreached people group for prayer Staying focused on God's calling instead of getting distracted Key Takeaways God's will is not a miserable backup plan. When a young person yields to the Lord, God can give joy, desire, and fulfillment in the very calling that once seemed intimidating. You do not have to wait until you are on a foreign field to be involved in the Great Commission. God has placed you in a mission field right now, with friends, family, church, and opportunities already in front of you. Many young people care about missions, but they do not always know what to do next. Go Steps exists to help turn burden into obedience by giving practical ideas and encouragement for taking the next step. Prayer is not a small part of missions. When you pray for unreached people, God can move in ways you may not fully see until eternity. Satan wants young people to get burdened about the lost and then get distracted by the rest of life. The answer is to keep remembering your calling, take the next step, and stay on mission with Jesus. Resources Ready to take the next step in the Great Commission?
