What might it look like for you to “take time” to know Jesus in the middle of your busy life? K2 Martha was distracted by many good things. In what ways do we let even good activities pull us away from the better choice of being with Jesus? Grow G1 It's often easier to do for Jesus than to be with Him. How can being part of a group help us learn to pause and listen like Mary? G2. The example of others matters. Share about a time when someone else's example of choosing Jesus encouraged you to do the same. How can we encourage each other in this? G3 Martha was serving—but missing something. How can we make sure our serving flows out of time with Jesus, rather than becoming a substitute for it? Show S1. Jesus calls us to serve from a place of rest. What's one way you can “show up” to serve someone this week—but from a place of spiritual connection, not just busyness? S2. We all have the same 24 hours—often filled with sleeping, working, commuting, scrolling, chores, eating, and relaxing. What's one area where you could intentionally “take time” from something else this week to be with Jesus? What might that look like?

In this engaging episode of Coffee & Tea with CarrieVee, CarrieVee welcomes back author, business leader, and master storyteller Dave Moravec for yet another insightful conversation. Dave shares the journey behind his newest book, Echoes to Remember, a sequel to his successful debut, Echoes Across the Tracks. Together, they explore the power of storytelling, time travel, and timeless principles of customer service that bridge both the past and the present.Dave offers a fascinating look into his fictional character Charlie—a seasoned business consultant who finds himself wrestling with the dilemma of whether to reveal his experiences of time travel. Through Charlie's adventures, Dave weaves powerful parables about business, leadership, and customer service. Notably, he challenges the traditional notion that “the customer is always right,” reframing it as “the customer is always the customer,” and shares real-life examples of how businesses can differentiate themselves through responsiveness and personal connection.Carrie and Dave discuss how customer expectations have evolved post-pandemic, touching on topics like service responsiveness, modern communication tools, and how old-school relationship-building lessons remain just as relevant today. Dave also teases future books in his “Echoes” series, from stories set at sea on cruise ships to tales inspired by the chaos of urban streets.Listeners will walk away reflecting on how personal experiences shape their choices, how to serve others more effectively in business and life, and how to translate the lessons of the past into meaningful action today.Writing Prompt: Dave encourages listeners to look back over significant life events—both triumphs and mistakes—and write about what they learned from those experiences, finding connections that shape who they've become today.Contact Dave Moravec:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davemoravec2018/Email: ddmoravec5@gmail.comWebsite: www.salesmanagerforrent.comPhone: 309.838.1947 Echoes Across the Tracks Book: https://amzn.to/3UAnpcSEchoes to Remember Book: https://amzn.to/40fAKLa Echoes to Remember Coffee and Tea With CarrieVee Podcast Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-and-tea-with-carrievee/id1514671446?i=1000654785238  Radical Empowerment Method Book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3Bdp2BC Book CarrieVee for a Speaking Engagement: https://www.coachcarriev.com/contact-me Join the Confidence and Clarity Membership! https://carrievee.com/confidence-clarity-1 Schedule your Discovery Call with CarrieVee!https://schedulewithcarrievee.as.me/?appointmentType=12343596  Step Into Your Big Life Freebie: https://www.coachcarriev.com/stepintoyourbiglifefreebie The Radical Empowerment Method 2.0 Online Course https://www.coachcarriev.com/radicalempowermentmethod2  Get to an EVENT! www.carrievee.com/events Con

As a product business owner, taking time off can feel like a luxury you simply can't afford. There's always something that needs your attention—customers, orders, stock, marketing. The idea of stepping away can feel more stressful than restful.   In this special 250th episode, I'm sharing a rare behind-the-scenes look at my own business. Last month, I took three separate trips, and it made me reflect on what success really means. Yes, turnover matters. But so does the ability to take a proper break without everything falling apart.   Although I run a service-based business, I've worked with hundreds of indie retailers over the years, and I realize how difficult it is to carve out that space.   If stepping back feels impossible, I want you to know it doesn't have to be.

Navigating the Appeals Process in Divorce CasesContinuing our season-long Your Divorce Case series, Seth Nelson and Pete Wright welcome appellate attorney Ceci Berman to discuss what happens when divorce cases move to the appeals court. As a board-certified appellate practice attorney with extensive experience arguing before state and federal courts, Ceci brings deep expertise in family law appeals and complex commercial litigation.The appeals process works very differently from trial court, with strict timelines and procedures that must be followed. Seth and Pete explore with Ceci how appeals aren't simply "do-overs" of the original case, but rather reviews of whether the trial judge made legal errors in their decision. Through their conversation, they break down the machinery of appeals - from filing deadlines to oral arguments before a panel of judges - and discuss what clients should expect during what can be a lengthy process lasting anywhere from 9 months to 2 years.Questions we answer in this episode:What exactly is an appeal and how does it differ from the original trial?How long does the appeals process typically take?What happens if you win your appeal?Key Takeaways:You have just 30 days from the final judgment to file an appealAppeals are expensive and time-consuming - carefully consider if it's worth pursuingWinning your appeal means starting over - potentially with the same judge who ruled against you initiallyThis episode provides an invaluable look at a complex but crucial part of the divorce process that many people misunderstand. Whether you're considering an appeal or just want to better understand how the system works, Ceci's expert insights combined with Seth and Pete's practical experience make this an essential listen for anyone navigating divorce proceedings.Links & NotesCeci Berman – Brannock Berman & SeiderSchedule a consult with SethGot a question you want to ask on the show?

What is rest It is not sitting around being lazyWhat is the difference between resting and being lazy  Work is a good thing -  we are called to work It has purpose Mankind is made in the image and likeness of God. When God created humans in his image and likeness, He gave them the task of ruling the world (Genesis 1:26). In chapter 2, he also gives them specific to work the Garden of Eden and to take care of it (Genesis 2:15). As God himself works, so too must they. “He is a cosmic gardener who rules over his world and they are to be cosmic gardeners, working in it and ruling over it.Humans therefore work because God works. Work can have meaning because God gives it meaning. He creates them as workers and he sees what he has made and pronounces it ‘very good' (Genesis 1:31).As with work, rest has meaning because God gives it meaning. He creates people who need rest and who have it in their nature to rest.

“The goal with the collective is to bridge that gap–so then there is a lot more equity and a lot more opportunity. Because these coffees are incredible and most of the time when they're coming from people of marginalized identities, those people are ensuring that they're honoring  the farmers as well–and so the farmers are then getting equitable pay. And so it's creating that throughout the supply chain.”This week on the show we're talking coffee with Korie Griggs about the Color of Coffee Collective. They're working to support equitable access in the world of specialty coffee. She also has a message about slowing down and taking time to smell the coffee. And we have stories from Harvest Public Media about growing a new super fruit in the Midwest, and returning buffalo to Native tribes.

Bior is a pioneer for woman's wrestling. She paved the way for so many girls by being one of the firsts to get on that mat with boys.

If it's meant for you, it will come back. Follow me:Instagram -- https://www.instagram.com/wrestle_her_podcast/Youtube -- https://www.youtube.com/@WrestleHerPodcast/featured

Key Takeaways-Many CEOs and entrepreneurs often operate under extremely high stress levels, which can become unsustainable over time.-Despite efforts to maintain health through exercise and wellness practices, leaders frequently overlook the importance of taking time for themselves.-Taking intentional breaks and allowing oneself moments of stillness is crucial for mental and physical well-being.-Leaders should be proactive in recognizing when their energy is low and take breaks before reaching a point of depletion.

At the start of a new year we may focus on the future by making goals and resolutions. It's easy to forget to take a look back on the work and progress we have already made in the past. Scot and Mitch take a look back on what they learned on the podcast in 2024, sharing clips that changed the way they approach their health and solidifying those lessons before they tackle the goals of the new year.

Where do you get the strength you need to love others and to keep from being burned-out and frayed around the edges all too often? I've examined what you need to deposit into your energy bank account so you are not living an out-of-balance life. A.W. Tozer once say, “Shakespeare said something to the effect that no man could be a philosopher when he had a toothache! While it is possible to be a weary saint, it is scarcely possible to be weary and feel saintly.”[1] When your body is not in the best condition, either from sickness or fatigue, your strength can fail. That's why it's important to be a good steward of your body, doing everything you can to keep it strong and vital. Now, let's talk about the things which drain our energy. First, there are the inescapable drains on our energy, such as getting up in the morning, children, mates, family, housework, jobs. But many times, we expend energy, even in these areas, unnecessarily. Let's identify a few of the foolish things that often drain our strength: Your strength is used up when you try to do more than you can do. God has not called you to be all things to all people. Jesus was careful where he went to minister. He didn't try to go to every city; he didn't heal every sick person; he didn't preach to everyone on the face of the earth. Yet he could say at the end of a very short three-year ministry that he had accomplished what his father sent him to do. Have you got too many irons in the fire? Are you trying to prove something to yourself by taking on too much? Or perhaps, like me, you just have so much you want to do you can't resist. Maybe you have a hard time saying "No.” Whatever causes you to over-commit, you need to get this area under control. Your strength is used up when you have too much stuff. Did you know the more you have, the more energy it takes out of you? Cleaned your closets out lately? Might be a good idea. A home or apartment full of valued "treasures" can be a real drainer of energy. Now I'm not suggesting we can't have things we enjoy, but the question is, do you enjoy them or are they just sapping your time and energy? --- [1] Tozer, A. W. (n.d.). Taking Time to Rest.
