We've known George for nearly a decade, and what stands out most is his ability to connect with people across industries, titles, and generations. This episode is packed with helpful tips on how he's learned to lead by listening, adapting, and meeting people where they are.Our longtime friend George McCaughan is joining us this week to talk about how to lead people across generations from union guys on the factory floor to young lawyers in a Florida firm. He's done it all, and he's still calling BS on outdated thinking (including from his own team).George shared what it was like growing up in Mississippi, chopping cotton and learning early that hard work isn't just a buzzword. He's been in the corporate trenches, led M&A deals in Europe, and now finds himself running a law firm not by plan, but by decision. Along the way, he's figured out how to build trust across age gaps and teach people how to think, not just check boxes.We also get into generational misunderstandings at work, what young professionals actually want, and why curiosity is the trait that separates solid hires from future headaches. Whether you're running a law firm or a machine shop, this one is sure to be helpful. HighlightsWhy Gen Z might remind you more of Boomers than you'd think.What George teaches lawyers about real client communication.The difference between curiosity and compliance.Why handing someone the answer doesn't actually help them.Corporate moments when biting your tongue would've been smart (but didn't happen).Teaching situational awareness without micromanagingDo you like what you heard?

She's smart. She's capable. She's independent. But is she brave enough to ask for help?  In a culture that idolizes self-sufficiency and pushes girls to “be your own hero,” many daughters are quietly drowning under the weight of silent struggles—too afraid to reach out for fear of being seen as weak, too used to hearing that needing others is a flaw. But what if asking for help isn't weakness at all? What if it's wisdom?  This week on the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden dive into one of the most countercultural lessons a parent can teach their daughter: how to embrace Biblical dependence. With honesty, humor, and Scripture, they unpack how girls today are wrestling with anxiety, control, and perfectionism—and how learning to ask for help might just be the freedom they've been praying for.  Drawing from Isaiah 41:10 and Galatians 6:2, this episode encourages moms to model courageous vulnerability and practical interdependence. Through personal stories, faith-based parenting tips, and a powerful RGG Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay on the link between anxiety and control, this conversation will help you identify where your daughter needs support—and how you can help her ask for it with confidence.  In this episode, you'll learn:  How to normalize asking for help in everyday moments with your daughter  Practical ways to teach her to discern what's hers to carry—and what belongs in God's hands  Why modeling your own dependence on God and community is essential in her discipleship  How AHG equips girls to grow through mentorship, community, and Christ-centered leadership  Scriptures Referenced:  Isaiah 41:10 – “I will strengthen you and help you…”  Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other's burdens…”  James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God…”  When your daughter learns that strength isn't found in doing it all alone—but in leaning on Christ and His people—she will walk through life with resilience, grace, and godly wisdom. So let's model that truth boldly. Let's raise girls who are strong enough to admit when they're not okay, wise enough to ask for help, and faithful enough to believe that God will answer.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.

God intends for the church to be a display of his glory, which means the church's holiness, or lack thereof, has a massive effect on its witness. It's no wonder, then, that Scripture commands church discipline. In this message from Matthew 18:15–20 and 1 Corinthians 5:1–13, David Platt urges the church to take seriously its responsibility to address sin in the congregation. As we hold one another accountable, we are aiming for the purity of the church and the eternal good of one another. Explore more content from Radical.

Teaching from Luke 14, Dave reminds us of the true cost of following Jesus, and then challenges us to consider: Are we following Jesus on his terms, or ours?

t’s the conversation most parents hope they never have — but need to. Sexting, short shorts, and the values we bring into how we talk to our kids about consent, respect, and peer pressure. In this episode, Justin & Kylie Coulson unpack the big issues raised on this week’s Parental Guidance, and how you can guide your kids through a digital world where nothing sent is ever truly private. KEY POINTS Sexting is prevalent and often normalised among teens — but there is no such thing as “safe sexting.” Conversations about consent, respect, and peer pressure are vital and should happen early. Girls are under more pressure to share explicit images and often face more shame when they do. Parents’ personal values (e.g., about clothing choices) are valid but must not drift into victim-blaming. Teaching kids respect means emphasising that what someone wears or does never justifies harassment or assault. Encourage kids to consider context and to be mindful of how they live out their own values while respecting others’. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Once you send an image, you lose control of what happens to that image — full stop, end of story." RESOURCES MENTIONED happyfamilies.com.au — Resources and articles on consent, sexting, and raising respectful kids. Justin’s book Miss-Connection: Why Your Teenage Daughter ‘Hates’ You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk (for more on teen girls and digital challenges). Upcoming book on raising boys - join the waitlist. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS 1. Start open, nonjudgmental conversations about sexting, consent, and peer pressure — don’t wait until it’s too late.2. Make it clear: no one “deserves” mistreatment based on what they wear or share.3. Teach kids to think critically about requests for photos and to value their privacy.4. Emphasise that respect and consent are non-negotiable — and model these values yourself.5. Remind kids: even trusted friends can break trust, and once something’s sent, it’s out of their control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She encourages believers to maintain real faith that God will answer prayers meaningfully, underscoring reliance on divine provision rather than passive resignation to circumstances.(22:23) Emily explains the concept of intercessory prayer teams, highlighting the Archdiocese of Detroit's initiatives. She describes these groups as spiritually gifted individuals specifically commissioned to pray for pastoral renewal and evangelization. The discussion underscores the transformative role such dedicated prayer teams have within church communities.(34:52) Edmund illustrates the dynamic of prayer through the relatable metaphor of a child persistently asking a parent for treats. He reflects on the difficulty believers often face applying this familiar parental dynamic to their relationship with God, urging listeners to embrace authentic childlike trust and persistent communication with the Father.(36:03) Emily concludes by encouraging listeners to revisit relevant Catechism sections and reflect deeply on the Lord's Prayer during personal and communal prayer, especially at Mass.

Brendan Leonard is back for his third appearance on the podcast—this time recorded in person at his house in Missoula. Brendan's the creative mind behind Semi-Rad, and over the years, he's become a good friend and one of my most trusted advisors when it comes to creativity and building a life around the things you care about. He's a writer, illustrator, filmmaker, ultrarunner, teacher, and all-around creative machine—someone who's carved out a career by doing things his own way, with a healthy dose of humor and generosity. This episode is pretty much two friends sitting at a kitchen table having a laid-back chat about our long list of shared interests. We talk about everything from teaching writing and designing online courses, to the pros and cons of Substack, to how to market your work without feeling like a sellout. We dig into the practical side of creativity—how to make things, share them, and make a living—without losing the joy and weirdness that made you want to create in the first place. We also get into self-publishing vs. traditional publishing, why Brendan makes funny books like 15-Second Recipes, and why he believes that generosity, self-deprecation, and consistency matter more than flash or perfection. There's a lot here for anyone trying to make meaningful things in the margins of a busy life… or build a creative life from the ground up. If you're new to Brendan's work, be sure to check out his website, newsletter, and his earlier podcast episodes. I'd also specifically encourage you to check out his most recent book "Ultra-Something," his recent film "The Seven Summits of My Neighborhood," and the podcast he co-hosts, which is called "The Trailhead." There are links to everything in the episode notes. Brendan is one of the most thoughtful, practical, and humble voices out there when it comes to creative work, and I'm always better off after talking to him.
