One of the great things about the Psalms (and one of the reasons we do a summer series through the psalms) is because you can drop in on pretty much any psalm and find something immediately helpful.Y'all ever done that before? You ever “dropped in” on the Psalms? Maybe you need a word from God, you need some encouragement from the Scriptures but you're not exactly sure where to go to, so you basically close your eyes and pick a random place in the psalms — a “Psalms drop in.”A lot of us have done that before, and the reason we go to the Psalms is because these are prayers and poems and songs, and they're about God. Over thousands of years, the people of God have come to this book for help and perspective. Most of the time, reading a Psalm is like running down hill — But that's “most” of the time, not all the time. Psalm 82 is different. I spent most of last week perplexed by this psalm, and I'm tempted in the sermon to spend too much time telling you why. There are all kinds of questions here that send us in different directions — and if we were doing a Bible study, we'd walk through each question, we'd weigh the different interpretations, we'd wrestle for the right meaning, but this is a sermon, and we are in worship, and so I want our main question to be: What do we learn here about God? Despite some of the interpretive questions, what truths about God and reality can we be sure this psalm is affirming? I have three:God reigns over everything.God will judge all moral unrighteousness.God will get his global glory.Each of these truths are clear in Psalm 82 and they matter for how we live. So we're gonna walk through each one, but first let's pray:Father in heaven, thank you for the Holy Spirit who illumines your word to our hearts. He gives understanding to the simple, and we confess that we need the power of your Spirit in these moments! Send him, we ask, in Jesus's name, amen. 1. God reigns over everything. Look at verse 1:“God has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst of the gods he holds judgment…”Right away we're asking: What is this “divine council” and who are these “gods”?You don't see this on every page of Scripture, but the reality is always there, and every now and then we see glimpses of it, that in the presence of God, at least at certain times, there is an assembly of supernatural beings who are involved in the affairs of this world. Sometimes these supernatural beings are called little-g gods; sometimes they're called sons of God; categorically, they're angels.They're close to God and privy to his will, and they're active in how his will plays out in the world; but the main thing we should see here is that God is over them. He has a place in their company, and that place is judge. God is judge over all creation, which includes the spiritual realm. And this is where we might need to stretch our imaginations. God Over the Material WorldWe believe, and we say all the time, that God is sovereign. God is in control. “God has decreed in himself, from all eternity, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably, all things whatsoever comes to a pass” (3.1). We believe that, and most of the time when we think about the arena of God's sovereignty — where God's sovereignty plays out — we think about this world and the stuff that we can see. And we should think that. It is a right and wonderful thing to apply the sovereignty of God to this material world. More of that, please.Earlier this week I was coming back from some church planting meetings in Atlanta, driving to the airport at night, and I'm pretty dependent on Google Maps. I need my phone to tell me where to go. Well you know when you get close to an airport, they have way-finder signs that make it pretty much dummy proof. So I see these signs, I've seen them before, but my phone is telling me to do something different than what the signs are telling me. And here's the deal: I've not left myself a lot of time. I have a very thin margin for error, and now I've got to decide to follow the signs or follow my phone. Well, I went with my phone. Bad choice! I was headed to the wrong place. I must have made a glitch when I plugged things in. And by the time I fix that and loop around, it adds half an hour, and now I'm sweating. Then I started to think about how missing my flight would torpedo the rest of my week. So I go from sweating to spiraling, but then the Holy Spirit ministered to me and I remembered the sovereignty of God.Even if I miss this flight because of my human error, God is looking after that. He's looking after me. He reigns over every detail, even over glitches in our material world. Well I ended up making my flight because it was delayed, because there was another glitch somewhere else. God knew the whole time.And the examples like this are endless. And sometimes it goes well for us, sometimes it stays difficult, but we should remember that God is active and in control over the world as we see it. We should apply the fact of God's sovereignty to the material world in its details. But, it doesn't stop there. God Over the Spiritual WorldReality is material and spiritual. There is the seen world and the unseen world — and the unseen world, although it's unseen to us, it's just as vast and just as active as the seen world, and some of it is set against us. Paul says in Ephesians 6,“We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”Now most of the time our senses are aloof to this. It's out of sight, out of mind — and we don't even think about it. But behind everything we see, there are unseen spiritual influences and forces. There's no doubt that as I'm driving to the airport, trying to figure out where to go, the enemy has an agenda to harm me. There was a whole spiritual realm that was doing stuff — and it's like that all the time, and honestly if we could see more of it, I think it'd be too overwhelming for us. We don't have the capacity in our fallen bodies to process it, but look, here's the comfort for us: all of these spiritual beings, good or bad, every supernatural force in existence, reports to God.This is why Yahweh is called the Most High God. He reports to nobody. There is no one above him and no one equal to him. He reigns over everything. Even in the spiritual realm, among all the unseen commotion, God sits in the highest place. Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ — he is the one who ultimately calls all the shots and every created thing answers to him.Psalm 82 tells us this.2. God will judge all moral unrighteousness.We see this in verse 2, and it gets at a major question in the psalm. We know in verse 1 that God is sitting over these spiritual beings and he's holding judgment. God speaks that judgment starting in verse 2, but who is the judgment against? I think this judgment is against Israel, but God is speaking that judgment in the presence of this divine council. And there's a handful of reasons why that's the case. I won't get into them all. But go ahead and look at verse 2 and see what God is saying. Verse 2, God says: How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? SelahGive justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.The Connection to Psalm 80This is all moral behavior that God expects of Israel. We see this in other places in the Bible and we also see that Israel failed here. And the reason these things are brought up in Psalm 82 is because it's meant to be a response to Psalm 80, verses 18–19. (Remember that oftentimes the psalms are put together on purpose. Each of the psalms are connected to the ones around it, and that connection is part of the message.)Back in Psalm 80, verse 18, there's a petition. The psalmist prays, on behalf of Israel: “give us life, and we will call upon your name!” Verse 19, the very last verse of Psalm 80: “Restore us, O Yahweh God of hosts! Let your face shine, that we may be saved!” And then Psalm 81 and 82 come after Psalm 80 as a reply. In Psalm 81, which we saw last week, we see that God is eager to save, but the problem is the people's disobedience. Look back at Psalm 81, verse 10. God says, “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.”Look at verse 13. God says: “Oh, that my people would listen to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!” That's when God says he would subdue their enemies. That's when God says he would feed them “with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you” (verse 16). See the problem?The Jelly Roll DilemmaThe reason Israel has experienced the judgment of exile instead of blessing is because they have disobeyed God (see Deuteronomy 28). They've rebelled against God's will. And they would be absolute fools to ask for God's blessing and deliverance but continue to disobey him. That's the point here. It's what we could call the ‘Jelly Roll dilemma.'Y'all know that country song, “Need a Favor?” It goes: I only talk to God when I need a favorAnd I only pray when I ain't got a prayerSo, who the heck am I, who the heck am ITo expect a Savior, ohIf I only talk to God when I need a favor?But God, I need a favorIsrael needed a favor too, but they weren't living right. They were not listening to God. And that's actually the main thing God wants. God wants our obedience. He wants our hearts. This is a consistent theme in Scripture, and I want to show you this.God Desires ObedienceSo heads up: I'm about to read a lot of verses, but try to hang with me. I want us to track a theme here in Scripture:1 Samuel 15:22, “To obey is better than sacrifice.”Psalm 40:6,“In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear.” Jeremiah 7:22–23,For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'Everybody see that theme? God isn't concerned with the stuff that we might ‘give' him — what we could call our sacrifices, the ways we might go through the motions of devotion. Instead, God wants our hearts: “To obey is better than sacrifice.”Obedience Is Showing MercyOkay, but now how does that obedience look? Well get this: there are other places in Scripture that contrast obedience to sacrifice but the word “obedience” is not used, it's just described. Listen to this:Proverbs 21:3,“To do righteousness and justice is more pleasing to Yahweh than sacrifice.”Isaiah 1:11,“What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says Yahweh; I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of well-fed beasts; I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs, or of goats.But, verse 16: “Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, 17 learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.”Do you hear how obedience is being described? Micah 6, verses 6–8 — we call this the ‘micah-drop' passage — the prophet Micah says:With what shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? 7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”He's talking about sacrifices. Is it those things that please God?Verse 8:“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does Yahweh require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”In short, obedience to God means loving your neighbor. Obedience to God means we show kindness, especially to those in need. Our obedience to God is displayed in moral righteousness.Disobedience DisplayedSo, if that's obedience, then disobedience is the opposite of that.And that's what Psalm 82:2–4 describes. Israel's disobedience to God was displayed in the way they harmed others (or in the ways they simply chose not to help!) — unjust decision-making, favoring the wicked, oppressing endangered children, neglecting the rights of the afflicted and destitute, looking the other way from the weak and needy.Israel had been doing all of this moral unrighteousness in defiance of God's word, and yet they're asking God to bless them! Look, I'll tell you, I would not want to be standing anywhere near Israel in this situation. God does not bless them in response to their unrighteousness, he brings judgment. God's answer to the petition of Psalm 80:19 is to call them to account for their evil with Psalm 82:2.God Bless America?And there's a takeaway here for nation-states. When we read the Old Testament and we connect the dots from ancient Israel to our present day, sometimes the connection is straight to the church, the people of God, to us. And sometimes the connection is to nation-states, to countries. And one lesson here for our country is that before people start praying “God Bless America,” they should get America clean with righteousness and humility. What I'm saying is this: we should never expect God to bless this country as the laws of our land promote slaughtering babies and mutilating children and destroying families. God demands moral righteousness in his created world. And of course God expects this from us as a local church and as Christians — God help us! — but beyond us, God demands moral righteousness from every created thing, from people who together call themselves a nation to every single individual to ever exist. God demands moral righteousness and every morally unrighteous act will be accounted for.Verse 8 says, “Arise, O God, judge the earth.” That means whole earth and every part. No unrighteousness gets swept under the rug. None is ignored. God's judgment is coming. God will judge all moral unrighteousness.Psalm 82 tells us this. 3. God will get his global glory.This is the last half of verse 8. I'm not going to go into verses 6–7. I wrote an article about that on Friday. But look at verse 8. The psalmist concludes:“Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!”Judgment and NationsGod's judgment and inheriting the nations — we should ponder here how these two things are related. We know judgment has been the theme of Psalm 82, but now the psalmist says that God will inherit all the nations! Where's that come from?Well, for one, the nations are a big part of the next psalm, Psalm 83, and in Psalm 83 these nations have set themselves against God and his people. The nations are scheming to destroy God's people and subvert God's plans, and here Psalm 82:8 sets us up for that. We're reminded here that actually all these nations, all people groups everywhere, they belong to God too. God will have them. Psalm 82 says that, but there's even more going on. God's judgment and inheriting the nations is a combo we've heard before. This is how the Book of Psalms begins, way back in Psalm 2. I think Psalm 82:8 is meant to send us back to Psalm 2. It's a reminder.The Psalm 2 KeyIn Psalm 2, verse 6, God speaks and says: “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”This King is God's Messiah, and in verse 7 the Messiah himself speaks and says:I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”So God's Messiah — the King appointed by God who is also God's Son — the nations are his heritage. In other words, the Messiah will inherit the nations (just like we read in Psalm 82). All people groups everywhere are his, and he sits over them as judge.So Psalm 2, verse 10 issues a warning:Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son [or honor the Son], lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.Psalm 2 is the key to all the rest of the psalms, and it's really simple. There are only two outcomes in life: God's judgment or God's blessing. And it all has to do with what you do with God's Messiah, Jesus. If you reject Jesus, then you die in your sins and face God's judgment. If you take refuge in Jesus, then you will be blessed — forgiveness of sin and life with God forever. Invitation and EvidenceAnd the invitation is to take refuge. That's the invitation in the Psalms and in the whole Bible, and it's an invitation to all peoples. All peoples everywhere, take refuge in Jesus. Trust him!And get this: they will. In God's providence, for the glory of his Son, he will be worshiped by those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. God will get his global glory. And we're evidence of that. I felt this in a special way a few weeks ago on vacation. My family was at one of our favorite places in the world — Topsail Island, North Carolina. I grew up going to this beach, and I love it. And one of my favorite things to do is just to look out at the vastness of the ocean. You look out and realize that on the other side of that line is Africa. I'm standing on the edge of the continent, a long ways from Jerusalem. And yet here I am, worshiping Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God says, “The coastlands shall hope for me!” (Isaiah 51:5). And that's me. And I feel it. I am such a Gentile. I'm a Philistine, and the son of Philistines. And I'm saved … because in the sovereignty of God, by his grace, I trust in Jesus Christ. God is getting his global glory through us, and he will get his global glory — worshipers from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. Psalm 82 tells us this, and that's what brings us to the Table. The TableHow is it that by faith in Jesus we are freed from God's judgment?It's because Jesus has taken that judgment for us. That's what he did when he died on the cross. When Jesus died, he sacrificed himself for our sin. He took all of our moral unrighteousness and in our place he absorbed the judgment that we deserved — and when we put our faith in him, when we take refuge in him, we're forgiven and free. We are blessed forever. You can receive that blessing right now, you can be saved from the judgment of God, if you trust Jesus. Turn from trusting in yourself, put your faith in Jesus Christ.And for those of you who have trusted in Jesus, we who are part of his global glory, let's come to this Table and give him thanks.The bread represents his broken body, the cup represents his shed blood, and when we eat the bread and drink the cup, we're saying that indeed Jesus is our hope. If Jesus is your hope, we invite you to eat and drink with us.

Celia was a daughter of the cult leader Ervil LeBaron, who practiced a fundamentalist Mormon teaching called Blood Atonement which meant taking lives in the name of God. Things got even more out of control when he was put in prison for his crimes and a hit list he created was beginning to be carried out by some of his younger followers. Thankfully, the practice of blood atonement, by way of the LeBarons has been disavowed today, but the effects of these tragic teachings still linger in the lives of those who were affected by it. Celia describes what her life was like, growing up as a LeBaron on the run.

In April 2023, Meals on Wheels America made an exciting announcement – a commitment of over $2.5 million from The Home Depot Foundation to support the expansion of the Helping Homebound Heroes program. This remarkable initiative, which The Home Depot Foundation has been actively involved with since 2015, focuses on providing essential home repairs and modifications for aging veterans. With this boost in funding, Helping Homebound Heroes is set to double its impact, expanding from eight to 16 markets nationwide.In today's episode, EFG's Alli Murphy is joined by Kelly Trimyer, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Meals on Wheels America, and Sean Vissar, Manager of National Programs and Strategic Partnerships for The Home Depot Foundation.Now entering its ninth year, the Helping Homebound Heroes program has touched the lives of over 2,000 veterans and the Home Depot Foundation has contributed more than $11 million and countless volunteer hours.

Is your child plagued by negative self-talk? Do they have low self-esteem? In this empowering episode of The Parenting Couch podcast, Rachel and Sarah talk to Lauren Thompson, Author of 'There's a Bully in my Brain' who shares her tips about how kids can develop a more positive self-talk and healthy self-esteem.One of the most significant mental well-being issues facing Australian children is declining self-esteem.With one in 5 students saying they already feel negative about their self-esteem as they enter high school, children need help in developing positive self-talk from a young age.Working as a support teacher (and a mum of three herself), Lauren Thompson saw the impact that negative self-talk has on children firsthand. Lauren began challenging these thoughts with her primary school students, helping them to develop a more positive mind set and healthy self-esteem. In teaching them to stand up to the bullies in their brain, Lauren watched as the children around her began to change into happier, healthier versions of themselves.In this episode, Lauren shares:The power of positive affirmations - and her top 3 affirmations for kidsWhy it's more important to praise your child's effort, not just their successesThe 'GGG' dinner ritual that you can do every night at the tableHow kids have the power to change their negative self-talkHow to help your child take risks, without saying ‘be careful'Why it's okay to use the 'Parent Pause'There's a Bully in My Brain, by Lauren ThompsonAfter seeing the positive impact her work was having and recognising that her own struggle with negative self-talk first came at a young age, Lauren decided to write a picture book to help turn one's inner-dialogue from a bully into a friend, offering practical strategies to counteract negative thoughts.There's a Bully in My Brain takes readers inside the mind of one young girl, struggling with negative self-talk, who begins to stand up against the bully in her brain, fighting away the pessimistic thoughts with uplifting and inspiring words of kindness.There's a Bully in My Brain is for every child that has told themselves they aren't good enough and every adult who wants in inspire their children's ability to fight the voices in their head.About Lauren ThompsonLauren Thompson has a passion for helping children and currently works in primary schools as a support teacher, working with children with additional needs. She has always loved helping children feel their best and spent many years teaching yoga and meditation where she specialised in children's classes.Lauren lives on the South Coast of NSW and is a loving mother of three children. Working with kids as well as having her own has given Lauren deep insight into what challenges children are struggling with the most today. She hopes that her books will be able to reach a wider span of young people to help them overcome any difficulties they might be experiencing.Buy a copy of There's A Bully in my Brain.#theparentingcouch #theparentingcouchpodcast #parenting #northshoremums
Today I'm joined by Jasmin Thomas, Serial Founder & Angel Investor.After a successful career building the first teams of unicorns like Deliveroo, Algemy, Improbable and Dark Trace, Jasmin turned her hand to her own business.Having been diagnosed with MS, Jasmin had experienced the benefits of CBD oil first hand, from relieving period cramps to flare ups she was having.From this, she was inspired to start her own efficacious skincare company, Ohana Health. However, as she soon found out, having a CBD based product brings even more challenges than your regular startup. And once she realised it wasn't a VC backable business, she made an even bolder move to shut the company down.Now, she uses the valuable insights she gained through that experience, along with a deep passion for supporting women in various capacities, particularly early stage founders and those in the tech industry, to fuel this next phase of her career.Her dedication is channeled through her work with angel community Alexandria Angels, where she focuses on investing in exceptional deal flow at the early stages, aiming to diversify cap tables, as well as acting as a venture partner and scout for VCs and as a consultant, collaborating with pre Series A startups.She's also committed to supporting the development of gender diverse tech teams, bridging the gap for women in tech and STEM fields with tech recruitment agency Xena.In case you couldn't already tell, she's a rather remarkable leader in the community and has even been highlighted by Richard Branson as an entrepreneur to watch for her exceptional drive and vision.In this episode we discuss:Thinking out of the box as a core founder skillAsking VCs the right questions while you raiseThe secret value recruiters bring to the tableHow intention and self-awareness lead to successUnearthing hidden hurdles in your industry, earlyAnd so much more!Links:Check out Alexandria Angels - https://alexandriaangels.persona.co/Learn about Angel Investing from Andy Ayim - https://andyayim.comCheck out We Are Xena - https://wearexena.comListen to our episode with Alexia Baron - spoti.fi/3EhjhXhListen to our episode with Jacqui -Check out our new sponsor shipshape.vc - https://bit.ly/43Kq99N

What does it mean to be vulnerable and put yourself out there? Well, for each and every one of us, the threshold for what it means is different but we can tell you it shows up in a plethora of ways and for almost everyone. Maybe you struggle speaking up in meetings or posting on social media. Maybe the thought of dating again after divorce is terrifying or pitching someone to buy from you makes your skin crawl. What we know is no matter how difficult and painful it may be, the cost of not doing it can be even more painful.You deserve to have what you want be it a career, business, friendship circles, or life partner. Putting yourself out there is the only way to get what you want. In this week's episode, we're going to talk you through how to get comfortable with putting yourself out there. The Worth+Value=Wealth ProgramIf you aren't where you want to be professionally and need to develop your personal narrative, own your worth and articulate your value, you need to apply for Worth, Value, Wealth. The women who have gone through our WVW program, have walked in one way and walked out with confidence, self-assurance, and conviction on what they deliver.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk. You'll recognize yourself in these true-life stories from (mostly) women who are walking their lives while their lives walk them and the lasting difference their journeys have made. I'm your host, Diane Wyzga.Today my guest is Jeffrey Tan: Pathfinder, Transformation Coach and Leadership Mastery Facilitator/Trainer who is joining us from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.Jeffrey helps people explore their paths in their personal and professional growth and development. Years of managing and working with people from all walks of life led him to a deep understanding of human behaviors and attitudes. In 1998 Jeffrey attended a Leadership Program to improve himself, and the rest - as they say - is history. Helping people develop their best selves became his passion. I've invited Jeffrey to talk with us about changing the narrative that no longer works for you, RISE the signature training program, trekking - including Nepal - and, parenting on COVID lock-down. Welcome to the podcast, Jeffrey! Minutes 31:1200 to 3:01 Intro3:01 to 9:20 Start From Where You AreQuestion: I understand that there is some jungle trekking available if I came to visit you. And if so, do you have a favorite jungle to trek?Jeffrey has 3 favorite treks he enjoys every weekend.One is still big jungle and the other two are second generation with rubber treesThe places are much green for him and will make do for nowQuestion: If we got to trek together, what's the first thing I might notice about you? Jeffrey would check in with host's familiarity with trekking, health and ability so he knows the appropriate trails to tackleEither we would go to easier trails or the more exciting parts as he saw fitQuestion: And if we got to one of the more exciting parts of the forest, and had some time to trek along the path what might I get to know about you as my Pathfinder?Jeffrey will check in now and then to see if host is okay, still in good shape and able to walk as well as enjoy the walkVery conscious about who he brings and how they enjoy the experienceStory: Jeffrey brought an ex-girlfriend's mom (actually she tagged along). She claimed to be pretty fit so away they went up a slope (45 to 50 degree incline): “Hey! This is first time you met me and you want to kill me already?” Jeffrey is very conscious of his walking partners after that episodeQuestion: What does this Mama Hill area look like? Would you describe it for us.Mama Hill is one of the most challenging climbs in the forestBegins with nice smooth downhill in a valley to a little stream.Path is rooted so you need to watch your footingBirds chirping, breezes, very pleasantCrossing the stream is the moment of awareness: how will we get back up? Only 10 to 15 minutes to trek out but very steep9:20 to 17:50 A Bit of Back Story. Something Happened. Change the Narrative. Reinvent YourselfThis climb is a very good metaphor for what we will be talking about as we go forward. Life going up and down and up again. In all the best books and movies, life is being lived and then something happens. Something in your life called you to reinvent yourself, to change the narrative that was no longer working. Question: Before we get to Trekking and RISE the signature training workshop would you share with us how Life walked you while you were walking your life.Jeffrey got married late in life, age 44Enjoyed good 7 to 10 years with 2 wonderful childrenWhen Jeffrey's daughter was 7 years old Life walked in and said, “Hey! Things are not working out.”The divorce messed things up - Jeffrey wasn't preparedIt was quite a tear down for him and messed him up real badJeffrey was in love with his children as well as his wifeMis-communications got in the way; for which Jeffrey also bears responsibilityThis divorce required Jeffrey to take the hard road out of the experienceHost: friends of Jeffrey's would prove helpful to his recoveryJeffrey's story: was very depressed; going through a lot of pain; work was getting done but a friend commented, “I see you here but I don't feel you.”This friend spurred Jeffrey to return to hikingLeading a hike with 2 buddies, another friend said, “Jeffrey, I see you here but I don't feel you. It's as if there is no soul in that body walking in front of me.”This comment stopped Jeffrey!“I see this smiling face but I don't feel you; you're like soul less.” This moment caused Jeffrey to share what had happened with his 2 buddiesWe don't share our pain until a friend interrupts our situationIf Jeffrey's friend can see him this way, what do others see? Zombie-likeJeffrey sat with his friends and had a chat - no judgment - only support helped him a great dealNo judgment about either party - no choosing sides - but compassion for him and his children, with expressions of supportThis love and support brought him backHis friends were a bridge or the helpers to walk alongside him17:50 to 22:56 RISE - Jeffrey Tan's Signature Training Program Question: Will you help us understand this experience and how it connects to RISE your signature training program RISE. Of all things you could have created, why this?RISE is designed to explore creating possibilities from these uncertain times and create the life you want; a life in which you Take Charge of Your Life and BE in charge. Join us and discover how you can claim victory and stop being a victim of circumstance.RISE was also because of the COVID pandemicJeffrey has always been involved with people developmentAs a result of Jeffrey's life experiences he's more compassionateBefore the divorce Jeffrey was logical and tried to make sense of other people's pain; whereas now he can see situations from both sides and bring empathy to the tableHow did RISE come about? Jeffrey lost job and income with the pandemic; no new projects and no new moneyFor 5 months or so Jeffrey lived on savingsJeffrey hit a slump again because of low funds and bills and having children to provide for He realized that if he woke up feeling blue somehow he felt better by the evening hours; he told himself, “I need to do something about this! Moment over.”The pity party has endedJeffrey realized that his recovery happened pretty quickly; probably because of his coaching/training experience which led to an “Ah Ha! I have the training. Everyone one needs a coach.” Started RISE to help people pick themselves up.When we are down everything looks hopeless - RISE helps people see possibilities againJust like his personal experience with the divorce; Daddy can say he loves you but if he doesn't act, what's the point?Jeffrey's 2 children are his inspiration to Rise Up!22:56 to 29:11 Tips to Help See the PossibilitiesHost: Jeffrey's children are delightful! As well as being a good barometer to the feelings of the Big Humans. If a parent is unable to show how they love, the children pick it up. The children pull us along, like his friends helped him and now he does this for other. Question: of all his years of leadership training, what 3 skills or traits or qualities are most helpful to Jeffrey working with people today?If you have a problem, be aware and acknowledge you have it. Denial keeps us from recoveryKnow that you are the only one who can deal with the problem. Our friends can be there for us; but we have to do the hard work to get out of the depressive Zombi-like mode and back on trackWe also need to have the courage and strength to take action. It's not easy but it can be done if we are brave enoughHost: having a friend who can help show us the way out can help guide us with courage, determination and resilienceJeffrey's story about his trip in Annapurna. The sherpa can bring you from one point to another point along the trail; but the sherpa will not walk your walk; you must carry your own backpack and walk your walkJeffrey cannot tell a client what to do or not but looking in from outside as 3rd party looking in can suggest X, Y or Z, or, ask: what if? We have within us to do what it takes; but we often don't see if for ourselvesJust like the sherpas who say: Come along! Not very high! You struggle to walk - I know you can do it!Jeffrey will champion you on - take the time you need to do it your wayQuestion: Is that where the name Pathfinder came from? Because I understand that's what you call yourself. 29:11 to 31:12 OutroHere we are, at the end of the road but not the journey.

I help people explore their paths in their personal and professional growth and development.A fisherman and cook on a kelong, a site supervisor for a construction company, a Cleaning Operations Executive handling jobsites covering Kajang to Klang, a housekeeping supervisor in Holiday Villa for 3 months that led into a 25 year sales career as KL Branch Manager in one of Malaysia's premium cleaning supplies company.Those years of managing and handling peoples from all walks of life led me to an understanding of their behaviors and attitude.These experience gave me insights into the pains and pleasures of:1. Managing and understanding expectations of owners as well as the people I was leading.2. Leading project, sales and operations teams.3. Training operations and sales teams.My experiences allowed me insights into the thoughts and behaviors of owners, managers, leaders, admin and operations personnel.In 1998 I attended a Leadership Program to improve myself, and since then people development became a passion of mine.I love the outdoors and mountain trekking which began with a trek in FRIM (Forest Research Institute of Malaysia) that led me to Gunung Angsi, Gunung Nuang and finally peaked on Mount Kinabalu. I began craving more adventures and ended trekking Gunung Tahan, ascending from Merapoh in Kelantan and descending in Kuala Tahan 10 days later. As adventures go, it never ends, as i targeted Annapurna Circuit in 2013 after coming down from Mount Kinabalu for the 3rd time.In April 2014, my team of 8 trekked the Annapurna Circuit, Nepal.My adventures thought me leadership, team engagement and the practice of self mastery, all of which enriches my training designs.If you want to UNLEASH YOUR LEADERS in your TEAM...Explore possibilities with me:NAKED a Coaching Conversationhttps://forms.gle/XtisxNjf5L7rH2CZ8If you are troubled and feel that you are not in charge of your life anymore join me inRISE in 90 minutes: https://forms.gle/K5J2FXevot6pTzDb6How to follow and stay in touch with Jeffrey Tan on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-tan-pathfinder/ Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga: Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Entering Erdenheim from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicSound Editing: Darwin Carlisle & First Class ReelsAll content and image © 2019 - Present: for credit and attribution Quarter Moon Story Arts

Schools are swimming in data — but there's a difference between having data and using it to make better decisions. Since early 2020, most people have seen more charts and graphs than perhaps ever before, but using analytics in schools correctly is a developed skill.How do you take all those numbers in a spreadsheet and turn them into something useful for driving decision-making? How can schools avoid being data-rich but information-poor?Dr. Adam Cibulka has spent 15 years in public education, and today works to help school districts get more out of their data with Forecast5 Analytics, now part of Frontline Education. He discusses:What analytics bring to the tableHow school and district leaders can use analytics to inform decisionsHow the right tools can help – or hinder – districts in making the most of analyticsThe steps leaders need to take to effectively use (and not just have) dataCommon questions districts seek to answer with dataThe biggest barriers schools face in trying to get the most out of their dataRelated Resources:[Blog] Using Analytics to Support Students in the Middle of a Pandemic[Blog] 5 Principles for Decision-making Using K-12 Talent Data
