Most men want to raise strong, confident sons but you can't teach what you never learned yourself.The truth? A young man doesn't become disciplined, resilient, or honorable by accident. He becomes that way because his father intentionally gives him the tools, the standards, and the values that shape his character.In this episode of The Bedros Keuilian Show, I break down the nine foundational lessons every dad must pass down the same lessons we teach inside the Squire Program to forge young men into leaders. You'll learn why optimism is power, why a man's word is his contract, why promises matter, and how protecting others (and yourself) builds real confidence.Most importantly, you'll discover how your own behavior, discipline, and reputation become the blueprint your son inherits.If you want to raise a son who's strong, capable, honorable, and grounded in purpose — this episode gives you the exact roadmap to lead him there.THE SQUIRE PROGRAM: A rite of Passage for Your Son as He Becomes a ManA Father and Son Experience That Will Be Remembered FOREVERhttps://squireprogram.com/registerDOMINATION DOWNLOADSTRAIGHT FROM THE DESK OF BEDROS KEUILIANYour weekly no B.S. newsletter to help you dominate in business and in lifehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/MAN UP SCALE BUNDLE: $29 (100% Goes to Charity)Get your Digital Man Up book + Audiobook + 2 Exclusive MASTERCLASSES & Support Shriners Children's Hospital. https://www.manuptribe.com/limited-offerREGISTER FOR THE LEGACY TRIBEGet the Life, Money, Meaning & Impact You Deservehttps://bedroskeuilian.com/legacytribeJOIN MY FREE 6-WEEK CHALLENGE:Transform into a Purpose-Driven Manhttps://bedroskeuilian.com/challengeTruLean Supplements | https://www.trulean.com/pages/bedrosGet 50% Off Trulean Subscribe & Save BundleUse Code: BEDROS Few Will Hunt Apparel | https://fewwillhunt.com/Get 20% Off Your Entire OrderUse Code: BEDROSOPEN A FIT BODY LOCATIONA High-Profit, Scalable Gym Franchise Opportunity Driven By Impacthttps://sales.fbbcfranchise.com/get-started?utm_source=bedrosPODCAST EPISODES:https://bedroskeuilian.com/podcast/STAY CONNECTED:Website | https://bedroskeuilian.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/bedroskeuilian/LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/bedroskeuilianTwitter | https://twitter.com/bedroskeuilian

Have you ever been scared while waiting for answers — and your mind went straight to the worst? Stop scrolling — if you're scared while waiting for answers, you are NOT alone. When you're stuck in the uncertain times — between what you feel and what you hope — the waiting becomes the hardest part. If that's you, don't click away — stay with us for the first 60 seconds. This episode is part of a globally streamed, 5-star Christian show with listeners in 16+ countries, recognized as one of the top Christian women's podcasts for real faith and real-life conversation. In this raw mother-daughter conversation, Chosen By Jesus hosts Kelley and Taylor Tyan talk openly about the emotional and spiritual battle that happens in the waiting — especially when fear, symptoms, tests, or unanswered questions leave you imagining the worst instead of expecting God's best. If your family has faced difficult medical seasons, the waiting hits different. Even when it could be anything, your mind goes back to what you've survived before. Experience shapes fear — even when faith is present. But waiting does not mean God is silent — or absent. Waiting is the place where trust becomes oxygen. ______ Inside This Episode • How to stay grounded when your mind won't stop racing • Why waiting hurts emotionally + spiritually • What to do when fear feels louder than Scripture • Why God develops faith before delivering answers • How to shift from panic → holy expectation ______ Scriptures Referenced Psalm 37:7 • Isaiah 60:22 • Habakkuk 2:3 • Psalm 27:14 • Galatians 6:9 • Romans 8:28 ______ Prayer God, we give You every unknown, every fear, every result, and every outcome. Teach us to wait with peace instead of panic, hope instead of dread, and trust instead of control. Be louder than fear. Be nearer than worry. Be our peace in the waiting.

Vin, Zach, and DCG colleague Mike Mitchell are joined by Dan Yates, CEO and Co-Founder of Endeavor Bank located in Southern California. Dan shares lessons learned from training programs early on in his career and how he parlayed that education into the formation of two de novo banks. He speaks about Endeavor Bank's focus on "Consultative Banking," and how the bank's partnership with small- and medium-sized businesses is mutually beneficial. He also discusses Endeavor Bank's adherence to the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and how that framework permeates through all facets of the organization. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Dan talks about leaving a lasting legacy in his communities and filling the void left by larger bank consolidations.For more insights and ideas, visit DCG at DarlingConsulting.com or follow us on LinkedIn.

Send us a textJesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18We exist to help people become fully engaged followers of Jesus.A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.” Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. Mark 1:40-45Jesus was indignant.

Mark 10:45But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong. When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile believers, who were not circumcised. But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. Galatians 2:11-13 NLT1. Familiarity Breeds Comfort.2. Fear keeps us captive.3.

Send us a textMaria Gallucci is a CODA, which stands for a Child of Deaf Adults. As she chronicles in her new book, Raised in Silence: Lessons on Listening, Love, and Loud Family Dinners from a Child of Deaf Adults, being raised by two deaf parents, learning American Sign Language (ASL) as her primary language, and, while still a child, helping her parents navigate the hearing world was often challenging for Maria. However, as she and I discuss, being a CODA also increased Maria's capacity to empathize and to communicate and truly connect with others, skills she uses as a parent and as a professional and skills she hopes to foster in others through her work and this book.

Lamentations 3:1–33 (Listen) Great Is Your Faithfulness 3:1 I am the man who has seen affliction under the rod of his wrath;2 he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light;3 surely against me he turns his hand again and again the whole day long. 4 He has made my flesh and my skin waste away; he has broken my bones;5 he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation;6 he has made me dwell in darkness like the dead of long ago. 7 He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has made my chains heavy;8 though I call and cry for help, he shuts out my prayer;9 he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones; he has made my paths crooked. 10 He is a bear lying in wait for me, a lion in hiding;11 he turned aside my steps and tore me to pieces; he has made me desolate;12 he bent his bow and set me as a target for his arrow. 13 He drove into my kidneys the arrows of his quiver;14 I have become the laughingstock of all my people,1 the object of their taunts all day long.15 He has filled me with bitterness; he has sated me with wormwood. 16 He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and made me cower in ashes;17 my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness2 is;18 so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the LORD.” 19 Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall!20 My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.21 But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: 22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;3 his mercies never come to an end;23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

“Missions.” What comes to mind when you hear that word? Short-term mission trips? Missionaries who have been in a certain region for decades? Certain countries bringing their “blessings” to other “less fortunate” churches? But when does helping hurt? On this week's show, former dentist and missionary Dr. Charlie Vittitow and founder and president of Life in Abundance (https://lifeinabundance.org) Dr. Florence Muindi discuss their book, Teach a Man to Fish (https://www.amazon.com/Teach-Man-Fish.../dp/1496490061) that talks about what they've seen in decades of serving in missions around the world and how the mindset and methodology has developed from “give them a fish” to “teach them how to fish” mission work. From across the street to around the world, Jesus's model of making fishers is still changing the world, and the Kingdom of God.
Daily Dose of Hope November 17, 2025 Scripture – Acts 1 Prayer: Holy God, Almighty Father, the Great I AM, Throughout all time, You are good. Your ways are perfect. Teach us your ways, Lord. Help us to know you better, to know you more. Lord, on our own, we are powerless. We are desperate for your wisdom, love, and mercy. More of you and less of me, Jesus. Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan. We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are starting the book of Acts, one of my favorite books of the Bible. This is the second volume of the two-part work of Luke-Acts, written by Luke, a co-worker of Paul. The original title of the book was The Acts of the Apostles. Certainly, different apostles appear throughout the stories, but the only single character who unifies the book is Jesus, appearing in the beginning of the book in human form and then acting through the Holy Spirit throughout the book. As we work our way through the text, it's going to be incredible to see how the Holy Spirit transforms, leads, directs, and shapes the new Christians and the young church. Chapter 1 opens with Jesus ready to ascend into heaven. Even though this is post-resurrection, the disciples still didn't understand everything. We find them asking Jesus when he is going to restore the kingdom to Israel. Their understanding of God's Kingdom is still a bit misguided, but Jesus redirects them. He says only God knows the time and place for that. But there is something even better ahead. And Jesus tells them that the Holy Spirit is coming. The Spirit of the living God is coming and when it does, they will receive a power like no other. This is the same truth for us: When God's Spirit comes upon us, we have the ability to witness, to bear testimony, to all the things of Jesus. It really isn't about us but about God's Spirit in us! And then, Jesus ascends into heaven. They don't quite get it yet, but now it's a waiting game. The Holy Spirit is coming and they have no idea what they are in for. Tomorrow, we get to talk about Pentecost and the birthday of the church. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Most people do not like to think about death, especially their own. Death makes us uncomfortable, and the thought of it seems to take the fun out of life. But there is great value in meditating on our death. It reminds us that we don't have forever to do the things that really matter. One day, we will wake up and realize that we don't have as much time as we thought. The sooner we come to that realization, the wiser we will live. “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12Take-Home Message: Remembering my death results in a wiser life.How to Live Like I'm Dying • Find My Anchor (1-3a) • My Anchor: I'm in God's hand • My Kingdom Work is in God's hand (2 Tim. 4:6-8, Heb. 6:10) • My Eternal Life is in God's hand (John 10:28) • Flee From Evil (3b-6) • Finish My Race (7-10)

Parenting is more than a responsibility—it's a sacred calling. God entrusts parents to shape hearts, model faith, and prepare the next generation to follow Jesus. Scripture gives us a clear framework for how to do this well, which is captured in today's message through six words: SHOW, TEACH, LOVE, GUARD, DISCIPLINE, and PREPARE. When we follow biblical principles in our parenting, we help our children build lives rooted in truth, strengthened by love, and guided by purpose. Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Psalm 127:3, Philippians 4:9, Deuteronomy 6:6-7, John 15:12–13, Proverbs 4:23, Proverbs 13:24, Proverbs 29:17, Proverbs 22:6 Series: The Family Of God Thank you for Joining.

www.teachhoops.com Every coach says they want their players to “play harder.” But what does that really mean — and can you actually teach it? In this episode of Coach Unplugged, Hall-of-Fame coach Steve Collins dives into the art of developing aggression the right way — where players compete fiercely without losing control. You'll learn: Why “aggression” isn't about fouling harder — it's about reacting faster. How to use controlled-chaos drills to hard-wire competitive energy. What language, tone, and habits model toughness for your team. The secret to making your quiet players compete with fire. Coach Collins shares proven ways to shift a team's identity mid-season — and stories of how mental aggression, not just physical effort, changed everything.
This Week: We begin with some highlights from members of the AOTA family. One listener responds to last week's discussion about vouchers and reports from the dark side in FL about what it's like for parents who can't trust the education system under Desantis. Then, is the USDOE really trolling us online with their insane social media posts? Yes. Yes, they are. What an utter embarrassment to the office and the profession. Lastly, we celebrate the people of Colorado voting to increase taxes on higher income folks in their state in order to preserve universal free meals in schools. In the face of so much right wing insanity, this is an important proof point that the people will support progressive, justice orientated legislation, even if it means making wealthier folks pay more.

Today is day 319 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 319. What did Jesus teach about adultery? Jesus taught that even to look at another person with lust violates this commandment. Adultery begins with a lustful heart, but the Lord calls us to be chaste. (Matthew 5:27–28) We will conclude today by praying Proper 1 found on page 615 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

“Predictions are hard,” Yogi Berra once quipped, “especially about the future”. Yes they are. But in today's AI boom/bubble, how exactly can we predict the future? According to Silicon Valley venture capitalist Aman Verjee, access to the future lies in the past. In his new book, A Brief History of Financial Bubbles, Verjee looks at history - particularly the 17th century Dutch tulip mania and the railway mania of 19th century England - to make sense of today's tech economics. So what does history teach us about the current AI exuberance: boom or bubble? The Stanford and Harvard-educated Verjee, a member of the PayPal Mafia who wrote the company's first business plan with Peter Thiel, and who now runs his own venture fund, brings both historical perspective and insider experience to this multi-trillion-dollar question. Today's market is overheated, the VC warns, but it's more nuanced than 1999. The MAG-7 companies are genuinely profitable, unlike the dotcom darlings. Nvidia isn't Cisco. Yet “lazy circularity” in AI deal-making and pre-seed valuations hitting $50 million suggests traditional symptoms of irrational exuberance are returning. Even Yogi Berra might predict that. * Every bubble has believers who insist “this time is different” - and sometimes they're right. Verjee argues that the 1999 dotcom bubble actually created lasting value through companies like Amazon, PayPal, and the infrastructure that powered the next two decades of growth. But the concurrent telecom bubble destroyed far more wealth through outright fraud at companies like Enron and WorldCom.* Bubbles always occur in the world's richest country during periods of unchallenged hegemony. Britain dominated globally during its 1840s railway mania. America was the sole superpower during the dotcom boom. Today's AI frenzy coincides with American technological dominance - but also with a genuine rival in China, making this bubble fundamentally different from its predecessors.* The current market shows dangerous signs but isn't 1999. Unlike the dotcom era when 99% of fiber optic cable laid was “dark” (unused), Nvidia could double GPU production and still sell every chip. The MAG-7 trade at 27-29 times earnings versus the S&P 500's 70x multiple in 2000. Real profitability matters - but $50 million pre-seed valuations and circular revenue deals between AI companies echo familiar patterns of excess.* Government intervention in markets rarely ends well. Verjee warns against America adopting an industrial policy of “picking winners” - pointing to Japan's 1980s bubble as a cautionary tale. Thirty-five years after its collapse, Japan's GDP per capita remains unchanged. OpenAI is not too big to fail, and shouldn't be treated as such.* Immigration fuels American innovation - full stop. When anti-H1B voices argue for restricting skilled immigration, Verjee points to the counter-evidence: Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella, Max Levchin, and himself - all H1B visa holders who created millions of American jobs and trillions in shareholder value.

The Joy Dealer #RTTBROS #Nightlight"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." — Proverbs 17:22You know, I got an email the other day that hit me right between the eyes. It said something I needed to hear: "Your wife doesn't need another burden to manage. She needs a joy dealer." And friend, I sat there staring at that line because it convicted me in the best possible way.See, somewhere along the journey, a lot of us Christian men got this idea that maturity means being serious all the time. Heavy. Intense. Always grinding, always stressed, always carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. We think if we're not worried, we're not responsible. If we're not intense, we're not spiritual.But that's not leadership, and it's not biblical manhood. That's just exhaustion with a spiritual veneer on it.Think about Jesus for a minute. He was the strongest leader who ever walked this earth, yet people were drawn to Him. Children ran to Him. His disciples followed Him for years, and they didn't just endure His presence, they enjoyed it. He didn't repel people with heaviness. He attracted them with life.I love what Nehemiah said: "The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10). Did you catch that? Joy isn't some optional add-on to the Christian life. Joy IS strength. When God is first in your life, when your order is right, joy flows naturally because your peace doesn't depend on circumstances.Here's what I'm learning, and I'm too soon old and too late smart on this one: rigid men repel, but joyful men attract. If your wife isn't drawn to you, if your kids seem to avoid you, maybe it's time to check your energy. Are you fun to be around? Do you bring life into the room, or do you suck it out with stress and intensity?Paul tells us in Galatians 5:22 that joy is a fruit of the Spirit. It's not something we manufacture, it's something that flows when we're walking with God. A man filled with the Spirit doesn't need substances to relax or entertainment to unwind. He's enjoyable because God's joy lives in him.Your family doesn't need another manager. They need a joy dealer. Someone who brings life, not drains it. Someone who's strong AND joyful. That's not weakness, friend. That's what it looks like when a man is anchored in the presence of God.Let's pray: Father, forgive us for being exhausting instead of life-giving. Help us to find our joy in You so we can be joy dealers in our homes. Teach us that maturity isn't misery, and that following You should make us more enjoyable, not less. In Jesus' name, Amen.#Faith #ChristianLiving #BiblicalManhood #Joy #Marriage #Family #DailyDevotion #SpiritualGrowth #RTTBROS #NightlightBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Darren talks about TTLCs and how they can be used to embed teacher-centric wellbeing into your CPD provision.
Religion says, “Do better.”Grace says, “It's done.”We live in a culture addicted to performance — grades, promotions, followers, results. The world teaches us that our worth depends on what we produce. When that mentality seeps into faith, it strangles grace.Since Eden, humanity has tried to earn what only Heaven can give. Every false religion repeats the same lie: “If I can climb high enough or behave well enough, God will finally accept me.”But the Gospel obliterates that lie.Grace doesn't climb to God — grace comes down to man.OUR SPRINGBOARD FOR TODAY'S DISCUSSION IS:
My best friend James Cordiner returns to Wake the Dead to discuss Voluntaryist Parenting in the New World Order. This is part 1 of a series of conversations we plan to record. Today the main focus is on public school, the mass drugging of our children and the domination of their minds. Modern parenting is often times at odds with statism. The medical industry, public school, & law enforcement all require our compliance with evil. How do we, as parents stay true to our principals and raise our kids to be healthy in this unhealthy society? It's our chance to make a change. Teach your kids what you wish you had been taught. Fortify their minds and hearts for their inevitable future clash with this satanic civilization we live in.Find James Cordiner here:https://voluntaryistacademy.comhttps://voluntaryistacademy.com/donatehttps://www.youtube.com/@voluntaryistacademyhttps://x.com/Voluntaryist_Ahttps://www.facebook.com/people/Voluntaryist-Academy/61556959016316/https://onegreatworknetwork.com/james-cordinerhttps://voluntaryistacademy.creator-spring.comemail: voluntaryistacademy@proton.mePlease donate to Sean McCannhttps://onegreatworknetwork.com/sean-mccann/donate/BTC (bitcoin) address: 3Ptmi463Pu6HH1duop7rCKaxBriQkb4inahttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/wakethedeadhttps://www.paypal.com/paypalme/seanmccannabisVisit Wake the Dead's store!https://wakethedead.creator-spring.com/Find Sean McCann on X:https://twitter.com/SeanWakeTheDeadJoin the Wake the Dead telegram:https://t.me/wakethedeadpodcastJoin the Wake the Dead guilded server:https://www.guilded.gg/i/kJWaQzmp

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Good morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Peter 3 Peter encourages wives to submit to their husbands through respectful and pure behavior, focusing on inner beauty rather than outward appearance. He urges husbands to treat their wives with understanding and honor, recognizing them as partners in God's gift of life. Together, believers are called to live in unity, showing compassion, humility, and love. Instead of returning evil for evil, they are to bless others, reflecting the character of Christ. Peter reminds them to guard their speech, turn away from evil, and pursue peace. Even when they suffer for doing good, they are blessed. In those moments, they must be ready to explain their hope with gentleness and respect. Just as Christ suffered to bring us to God, believers must submit in baptism and take up His cause with courage. We are challenged to live with honor in every aspect of life, starting with our closest relationships. As husbands and wives, we must treat each other with respect, humility, and understanding, knowing that our prayers are heard when we walk in unity and love properly. We are called to be like-minded, compassionate, and gentle, refusing to repay evil for evil. Instead, we bless others, understanding that we were called to inherit a blessing. When we suffer for doing good, we need not fear. We set apart Christ as Lord in our hearts and prepare to provide an answer for our hope. We look to Jesus, who suffered once for sins. We are baptized for salvation, and are committed to following Him. Loving Father, thank You for teaching us to live with compassion and peace. Help us treat others gracefully, especially in our marriages and closest relationships. Teach us to respond to insults with kindness and to turn away from evil in both word and deed. Fill our hearts with courage so we may share the hope we have in Christ with gentleness and respect. When we face suffering for doing what is right, remind us of Jesus, who gave Himself to bring us near to You. May we follow our conversion with a life full of service to You in good conscience. Thought Questions: How should wives behave to lead their husbands closer to Christ? And why should husbands strive to treat their wives with honor? What qualities and choices can you bring to all relationships to strengthen them? What if the other person does something unkind to you? Why does making a defense concerning Christ include both His death for sins once for all, and the need for a person to be baptized?

It's one of the most valuable things we have—and one of the easiest to waste. We've all heard the saying, “Time is money.” But if that's true, why do we spend it so carelessly? The truth is, time is worth far more than dollars and cents—it's the most limited resource God has given us. Learning to steward it well isn't just good productivity advice—it's an act of worship.If you've ever said, “I just need a little more time,” you're not alone. Many of us feel the pressure of time slipping through our fingers. Ironically, we often spend our days chasing money, status, or success—only to run out of the very thing we were trying to “buy back.”We treat time like a renewable resource when it's really more like a savings account that's constantly being drawn down. Every hour that passes is one you'll never get back. Yet our culture tempts us to equate our worth with how much we earn or produce.A Biblical View of TimeScripture offers a radically different view. In Psalm 90:12, Moses prays, “Teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” He's not talking about counting hours on a clock but realizing that our time is limited—and therefore deeply valuable.From a biblical perspective, time isn't ours to manage however we wish. It's a gift from God, entrusted to us for His purposes. Just as money and talents belong to Him, so does our time.In Ephesians 5:15–16, Paul writes, “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” The original Greek phrase for “making the best use” literally means “redeeming the time”—buying it back for God's glory. It's the same word Paul uses elsewhere to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross.Christ redeemed us from sin and emptiness, giving our lives eternal meaning. In the same way, we're called to redeem our time—to invest every moment, conversation, and decision in what will last forever.Here's the catch: if you don't decide what your time is worth, someone else will. Your job, your phone, your inbox, even social media—all have plans for your time. Unless you set boundaries, your days will fill up with things that seem urgent but aren't truly important.Jesus modeled something completely different. Even with the most important mission in history, He took time to rest, pray, eat with friends, and be fully present with people. He had the margin to be interrupted—to stop for the sick, listen to the hurting, and teach those who were searching. He never rushed, yet He always fulfilled the Father's will.How to Steward Your Time WellSo how can we live as if our time truly belongs to God?1. Reevaluate Your PrioritiesEvery decision is a trade. When you say yes to one thing, you say no to something else. Ask yourself, “What matters most in God's eyes—and am I giving that my best time?”2. Measure Time by Meaning, Not MoneyOur culture values time by dollars per hour, but God's economy works differently. A quiet afternoon encouraging a friend may not pay in cash—but it yields eternal dividends. As Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”3. Build Margin into Your LifeJust as financial margin creates freedom to give, time margin allows you to live generously. When you're not overscheduled, you can pause to listen, serve, or rest. Sabbath isn't wasted time—it's holy time that reminds us that God is in control.4. Steward Small MomentsEternal impact isn't found only in big events. It's in the five minutes you pray for someone, the ten minutes you spend in Scripture, or the conversation that points someone to Jesus. As Colossians 3:17 reminds us, “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus.”Making Your Hours Count for EternityWhen you see your time through an eternal lens, every moment takes on new meaning. You stop chasing the clock and start cherishing what truly matters. Missionary C.T. Studd once wrote, “Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.”So what's your time really worth? It's worth exactly what you invest in eternity.Don't just count your hours—make your hours count. Live intentionally. Rest purposefully. Serve generously. And let every day remind you of the One who holds all time in His hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have two kids—a 14-year-old and a newborn—and just opened brokerage accounts for them.

In this special episode, Gresh details the personal and professional hurdles he's confronting: a newborn son disrupting sleep, a demanding late‑night schedule, and a digital‑marketing strategy that fell short of expectations. Faced with the need to rebuild his marketing funnel while simultaneously overhauling the brokerage operation, he acknowledges feeling overwhelmed but sees the situation as an opportunity to refocus. He's scaling back to a part‑time model for now, leaning on his strengths in networking (through BNI) and content creation—especially his existing podcast, which already boasts over 1,600 interviews—to generate leads without spreading himself too thinresh reflects on his target market: individuals who are new to entrepreneurship and often unaware of franchising as a viable path.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Brian Murray from Mesquite, NV. Your commitment through Project23 helps deliver God's Word daily with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 12:8-13 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. He had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he gave in marriage outside his clan, and thirty daughters he brought in from outside for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years. Then Ibzan died and was buried at Bethlehem. After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years. Then Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried at Aijalon in the land of Zebulun. — Judges 12:8-13 After Jephthah's short and turbulent reign, two quieter judges followed: Ibzan and Elon. Their stories don't include major battles or dramatic miracles. Instead, their legacies were marked by stability, family growth, and years of peaceful leadership. Sometimes the greatest gift God gives His people is not a warrior or a spectacle—but a steady, faithful presence. In a world addicted to drama, it's easy to overlook the beauty of quiet faithfulness. We chase excitement, headlines, and "big moments," but God often works most powerfully through ordinary obedience lived out day after day. Ibzan and Elon may not be household names, but for seventeen years, Israel enjoyed stability under their leadership. Families flourished, communities grew, and peace prevailed. That's not flashy—but it's priceless. Your life doesn't need to be loud to be significant. Faithfulness at home, consistency at work, serving in your church, investing in your children, showing up for friends—these are the building blocks of a godly legacy. Don't despise quiet seasons. Embrace them. Drama fades, but faithfulness endures. God honors steady obedience more than fleeting excitement. ASK THIS: Do I overlook the value of quiet, steady faithfulness in my own life? Am I chasing excitement instead of embracing ordinary obedience? How can my consistency build peace and stability for those around me? DO THIS: Commit to one act of steady faithfulness today—pray with your kids, encourage a friend, serve in your church, or follow through on a promise. Ordinary obedience makes an extraordinary impact over time. PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for the gift of steady faithfulness. Teach me not to chase drama but to embrace obedience. Let my consistency be a blessing to my family, my church, and my community. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Peter 2Peter urges believers to eliminate all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander. Like newborn infants, they should crave pure spiritual milk so they may grow in their salvation. He describes believers as living stones being constructed into a spiritual house, with Jesus as the chosen and precious cornerstone. Those who believe in Him will never be put to shame, while those who reject Him will stumble. Peter reminds believers that they are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and God's special possession. They are called to declare His praises and live honorable lives among nonbelievers. He encourages submission to authority and urges servants to endure suffering for doing good. Christ is presented as the ultimate example of patient endurance and sacrificial love. By His wounds, we are healed. We are taught to live differently because we belong to God. As His chosen people, we must rid our lives of harmful attitudes and actions and yearn for the truth of His Word. We are being built together as a spiritual house, with Jesus as our cornerstone. When we trust in Him, we stand firm. Even when the world rejects us, we know we are valuable to God. We are called to reflect His light through our choices so that others may see His goodness. We must live honorably, respect those in authority, and show patience even when treated unfairly. Christ suffered for doing good, and we are to follow His example of love, humility, and trust in God's justice. Almighty God, thank You for challenging us to grow in respect to salvation. Help us live as Your chosen people, holy and set apart for Your purpose. Teach us to lay aside all sin and to hunger for the truth of Your Word. Thank You for establishing us as Your own, grounded in Jesus Christ, our cornerstone. Give us strength to live honorably and bring Your glory in every situation. When we face injustice, help us respond with patience and trust in Your perfect justice. May we follow the example of Christ, who suffered for us and showed boundless love. Thought Questions: Why is it crucial to put away malice and envy in order to be nourished by the word and to taste of the kindness of the Lord? As part of the temple of God, a member of His chosen people, what are your responsibilities in that special role and family? Why must you keep your behavior excellent among non-believers? When that is hard, how does Jesus's life and choices inspire you?

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Johnny Lynum.
When life feels mundane or unfulfilling, it’s easy to seek joy and satisfaction in circumstances, possessions, or people. But as our daily prayer and reflection on Psalm 37:4 reminds us, true joy is found not in what we have, but in who we have — the Lord Himself. In this reflective devotional, Emily Rose Massey explores what it really means to “delight” in the Lord. The original Hebrew conveys the idea of being soft, pliable, and dependent — a heart that takes pleasure in God alone and trusts His ways above all else. To delight in the Lord is not a suggestion, but a command — one that calls us to find our ultimate satisfaction in Him. As we do, something beautiful happens: our desires begin to change. The more we enjoy and depend on God, the more our hearts align with His. Our ambitions, affections, and prayers begin to reflect His will instead of our own. When we take joy in God for who He is — not just what He can do for us — He fills our lives with peace, contentment, and purpose. Even in seasons of waiting or monotony, delighting in the Lord draws us into deeper intimacy with Him and reshapes our hearts to desire what truly matters. Today's Bible Reading:“Delight yourself also in the Lord,and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” – Psalm 37:4, NKJV

Episode 3350: Ramit Sethi breaks down dollar-cost averaging as a smart way to invest consistently over time without trying to time the market. He explains how this strategy can protect against volatility, while also comparing it to lump-sum investing, which often yields higher returns, but not without emotional trade-offs. Sethi also provides a practical guide for building an index fund portfolio from scratch, even on a limited budget.

He praises God for granting an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and reserved in heaven. Trials and suffering are depicted as means to refine faith, which is more precious than gold. Peter emphasizes that salvation has been foretold by the prophets and revealed through Christ. He urges believers to live holy lives, fully setting their hope on the grace to come. As obedient children, they are called to be distinct from the world and to live in reverent fear, knowing they were redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. Peter reminds them that the will of God endures forever and that they have been born again through the living Word. We are reminded in this passage that our hope is not rooted in anything temporary but in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of this, we can face trials with confidence, knowing that God uses them to strengthen and refine our faith. We are called to live holy and obedient lives, setting ourselves apart from the world and keeping our eyes on the eternal inheritance that awaits us. As we reflect on the cost of our redemption, we are inspired to live in reverent awe of God. We have been born again through His living and enduring Word, and we now have a purpose to live differently. Each day, we strive to reflect His holiness in our thoughts and actions. Gracious Lord, thank You for a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We praise You for the inheritance that is kept in heaven for us, pure and everlasting. Help us remain strong through trials, knowing that our faith is being refined and made more precious than gold. Teach us to live holy lives, set apart for Your glory. May we walk in reverent fear, always remembering the great price You paid for our redemption. Let Your Word grow in our hearts and guide our steps daily. Strengthen us to live in obedience and to love one another sincerely. Thought Questions: What has God's mercy and power accomplished for you? Specifically, what is the promised “inheritance”, and how does it guide your life? How do you “prepare your mind for action, keep sober in spirit, and fix your hope completely” on Christ's return on a daily basis? Why is the love of brethren such a central part of living the Word and honoring the sacrifice of Jesus? How do you do this when it is difficult?
