“The geophysicists can't do without the geologists and vice versa. It is critically important to do it on a team basis.” Tako Koning, winner of the Best Oral Paper Award at IMAGE '24, shares clear lessons from a career working on basement reservoir exploration. He explains why seismic and geophysical data, integrated with geology, lead to better decisions, and how teamwork and open data help both companies and host countries. He also offers practical career advice and points to new opportunities in mature basins and areas such as geothermal, carbon capture, helium, hydrogen, and lithium. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Data and integration: Seismic and geophysical data, combined with geological analysis, are essential for finding and developing basement reservoirs. > Learned lessons: Tako shares stories from his career that show the need for careful testing, correct depth, and patient development to avoid commercial failure. > People and future: Teamwork and data sharing improve results for everyone, and broad early career experience transfers well to new areas like geothermal, carbon capture, helium, hydrogen, and lithium. GUEST BIO Tako Koning is Holland-born and Alberta-raised with a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of Alberta and a B.A. in Economics from the University of Calgary. After initially working as a mud logger with Continental Labs, he worked for Texaco Canada Ltd. and soon became a team leader looking after northern Alberta. Tako subsequently became the project geologist for the Blue H-28 deep water drilling project, which was drilled in the Orphan Basin, Newfoundland, in 1979. The exploration well established a deepwater and drilling depth record at the time, and remains as one of the greatest technical successes in the Canadian Frontier. In the last three decades, Tako has been highly involved with professional societies, by way of presenting and publishing papers and volunteering. He is a member of CSPG, CSEG, APEGGA, AAPG, SPE, SEG, Petroleum Exploration Society of Great Britain, Geological Society of London, Houston Geological Society, and an honorary life member of the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists.

SummaryIn this inspiring episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked, Pop, a Thai-born entrepreneur, shares his remarkable journey from arriving in the U.S. in 2005 with only $300 and dreams of becoming the next Bill Gates, to building a 12-restaurant hospitality empire. Initially working in restaurants to pay the bills, he discovered his true calling as a chef during a pivotal moment at a food court. Over two decades, Pop built Farmhouse Kitchen Thai Cuisine through authenticity, teamwork, and an unyielding work ethic, navigating challenges like the 2008 housing crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic threatened his business, Pop innovated with visually appealing Thai food trays sold through DoorDash, turning a near-disaster into a massive success. He emphasizes hospitality from the heart, balancing tradition with innovation, building trust in his team, and creating restaurants that feel like home for both staff and guests. His story is a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and leading with purpose.8–10 Key Takeaways Authenticity is the foundation – Staying true to his Thai heritage and hospitality traditions has kept Pop's brand consistent and memorable. A defining moment can set your path – Cooking a dish unexpectedly for a customer early in his career gave him the confidence to pursue a culinary path. Innovation in crisis – During COVID-19, Pop transformed surplus catering trays into popular takeout sets, ultimately selling 150,000+ trays. Adaptability is essential – Shifting from 90% in-house dining to 100% takeout/delivery during the pandemic saved his business. Balancing tech with soul – Leveraging DoorDash, QR codes, and digital tools while keeping hospitality personal ensures growth without losing authenticity. Teamwork is built on trust – Pop transitioned from a “one-man show” to empowering staff through training, communication, and letting go of ego. Culture starts at clock-in – He insists on starting every shift with positivity, knowing energy flows through the food to the guest experience. Customer relationships go beyond transactions – Many regulars have become lifelong friends and part of the extended “Farmhouse family.” Leadership is by example – Pop's own progression from prep cook to owner shapes how he mentors his team. Resilience is forged over time – Navigating personal, economic, and operational challenges has strengthened his business and leadership philosophy.

Please call Station for a voice check.   Naviere Walkewicz  00:13 Station, this is Lt. Col. Naviere Walkewicz. How do you hear me?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  00:17 Hi, ma'am. I've got you loud and clear. Welcome to the International Space Station.   Naviere Walkewicz  00:20 Welcome to a special presentation of the US, Air Force Academy, Association and Foundation's, Long Blue Line Podcast Network. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. I was honored recently to speak with a true pioneer, United States Air Force Academy graduate, accomplished fighter pilot, 2022 Young Alumni Excellence Award recipient and now NASA astronaut, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole “Vapor” Ayers, Class of 2011, Vapor joined us from the International Space Station orbiting about 250 miles above Earth. Her journey from Cadet to astronaut embodies the pursuit of excellence and the spirit of exploration that distinguishes the Long Blue Line. For this conversation Vapor and I explored what it means to be a human in the vastness of space, how one's perspective shifts when Earth shows up as a distant blue marble, and what her journey can tell us about courage, connection and the Future. Lieutenant Colonel Ayers, this is such an honor. So excited. Seeing Earth from space forever changes your perspective. How was the experience for you? And how has it changed the way you view your role as a leader?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  01:32 Yeah, you know, I think for everybody, the experience is slightly different. For me, seeing the earth from the Dragon window for the first time was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. And then seeing the Earth every day from the cupola and then the lab window that we have here, you know, you don't see country or state lines on the Earth, right? There's not like each state has a different solid color, right? There's just geography and just terrain. And so you get to learn the world all over again in terms of colors and textures and geography and water. You know, there's so much water on this earth, and it's hard to put it into perspective until you're actually looking at the Earth, and it's, it's something that has really hit me, because the Earth is so fragile. You know, we see these beautiful auroras, we see thunderstorms, we see different natural disasters, and it's really kind of made me want to take better care of this earth. And you know, when I get home, I want to just do things a little bit better and just take that extra step, to take my make my part in taking good care of this earth.   Naviere Walkewicz  02:38 That makes amazing sense. And, you know, I think it takes us to kind of your path to becoming an astronaut. Can you walk us through what that was like?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  02:47 Yeah, sure. So, you know, I was, I've been saying that I wanted to be an astronaut since I was little kid. And, you know, I always had an affinity for space and for the sky. And growing up in the Shuttle era, you know, as soon as I learned that you could fly the shuttle be the pilot. I was like, “Ooh, that's what I want to do.” And so, the very serious little Nichole set my goals really high and started working towards that path. And, you know, grew up right there in Colorado Springs, watched the Air Force Academy graduation, you know, and the Thunderbirds fly over every year. And it just kind of seemed like a natural path for me to go to the Air Force Academy, become a pilot and try to pursue the astronaut dream from the pilot's perspective. So you know, I worked really hard, set my goals really high, and never got bumped off that path and was able to apply and actually get selected. And now here I am talking to you from the International Space Station.   Naviere Walkewicz  03:36 And it's pretty incredible being able to see you weightless there, and you're here in its full glory. It's pretty amazing. Can you, talk about your time at the Air Force Academy? Specifically, what foundational experiences would you say have really kind of played a part with your life in space right now?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  03:54 Yeah you know, I think the Air Force Academy, for me, the biggest part was just being on teams. You know, I played volleyball there. And, you know, I would say every Squadron is its own little team. And you know, as a four degree, you're there with all of your classmates, and you're going through training sessions together. And so being on these teams in different environments, and some austere environments and high pressure situations, and learning how to take care of other people in those moments, I think, has been huge in my path to getting here. You know, those, all those words speak truth here on the International Space Station, you know, we're in an austere environment. Sometimes we're under pressure situations, and it's just a few of us up here working together with the ground to make this International Space Station stay in orbit, to execute all of the science and the maintenance and keep it running and continue to learn everything we possibly can, both about space and about Earth in order to inform how we do life on Earth and how we get to the moon and Mars.   Naviere Walkewicz  04:47 Thank you. So maybe, can you share with us what your daily routine aboard the ISS is like...   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  04:53 Yeah, you know, it's not unlike yours. Potentially. You know, our schedule is pretty set to the ground team figures out about, you know, what science and what maintenance needs to be done, and who's going to go do it. We are scheduled from about 7:30 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, and we get, you know, two to two and a half hours of exercise time so that we can maintain our bone and muscle and cardiovascular health up here. And then when we're not working out, we're, like, I said, executing science. You know, I'm surrounded just here in this module, every single rack has some sort of payload or science experiment going on, so we just kind of follow the schedule. We work with the ground team to figure out where the things are that we need, and the procedures and all of that. But it's not unlike life on Earth...   Naviere Walkewicz  05:37 Maybe a little bit different. What's the biggest misconception people have about life on the ISS, you think? And what's something that surprised you while you're being there?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  05:48 Man, you know, I've been asked this question before. I'm not sure if I know the biggest misconception. You know, I think that often people kind of put astronauts up on a pedestal, but, you know, we're just humans who like to do, like the work that we do. We're really passionate about what we do. We're good teammates. So we're just normal humans, and it's not the most glamorous job, you know, we do, you know, often wear diapers, or we're working really hard, or things like that. So, you know, just normal humans up here. I think one of the things that surprised me the most, I'll see if I can do this without bumping the Astrobee off the wall here. But for me, it took my brain a while to, you know, get used to seeing people on the wall, or, you know, our treadmills on the wall, or seeing people upside down, and there's no up and down in space. And so it took a while for me to get used to that, and for my brain to kind of remap what I consider up, down, left and right in space. And you know that people are just floating, and we get a float every day, I can let go the mic and talk to you.   Naviere Walkewicz  06:46 So we have a lot of cadets and young officers that listen to us. What advice would you give them in the dream of following in your footsteps?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  06:56 Yeah, that's a great question. You know, I love to preach hard work and teamwork. You know, find something that you really enjoy doing. You know, NASA needs, I studied math, right? I'm a pilot, but we need doctors. We need scientists, we need engineers. So figure out what you really enjoy doing, work really hard at that thing, and then go find a team you can be on, and figure out how to take care of other people, and figure out how, how you mesh in this world, and how you can and thrive in these small environments or austere environments with other people. So I love to just say, you know, work hard, be a good teammate, and everything will work out in your favor. I think.   Naviere Walkewicz  07:30 Can you share if you've received any valuable insights or advice from other Air Force Academy grads who were astronauts?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  07:37 Oh, yeah, I think tons, is what I would say, you know, Eric Kjell, and specifically Nick and Roger, who just recently flew and came back, you know, I think that there's been a ton of advice just in terms of of how we do life here on the International Space Station and how, you know, we're going to continue to explore on the Moon and Mars, and how we can share our story, and how we can share all of the science that we're doing. But I think one of the most practical things that I got was from Nick during the handover, when we, we had a couple days up here together, and he said, “Don't forget, you're still squishy.” You know, we're surrounded by a bunch of metal up here. Nothing is very soft. And so if you, if you get moving too quick, or you get too confident, it's very easy to stub a toe or hit something. And so we're still just squishy humans. And you know, if you take that one step further metaphorically, I think, you know, we're still just humans, and we make mistakes, and that's okay, as long as you can bounce back, and as long as you're not going too fast when you hit a handrail too hard.   Naviere Walkewicz  08:31 Absolutely. Well, you talked a little bit about the austere environment. What do you hope your mission and your story inspiring the next generation of Academy grads, especially those who feel called to serve in bold and unconventional ways.   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  08:46 Yeah, you know, I think the bold and unconventional part really hits me, because, you know, growing up during the shuttle era, and then I was at the Air Force Academy when the last shuttle flight flew. And you know, as you grow up, you say you want to be an astronaut, people often say like, Wow, that's awesome. And then when you become an adult, sometimes you don't quite get the same response, you know, sometimes you get a laugh. And so, you know, I would say that even if people don't believe you, or they don't necessarily support what you want to do, if you've got a goal or a dream, just continue to, like I said, work hard at it, you know, put your nose to the grinder. Get really good at whatever it is that you want to go do, and don't let the naysayers get you. You know, there will always be someone there who thinks it's silly, but you will always find someone who supports you. My old commander, Robin, again, he was the one who supported me and got me here, and he said, “Are you silly?” Like, why would you ever think that's silly, or hesitate to tell me what you want to do? So, keep talking about your goals, keep working towards it. And yeah, like I said, maybe someday you could be up here with us.   Naviere Walkewicz  09:44 Absolutely bold and unconventional, for sure. And speaking of such space missions demand precision under pressure. Can you share a moment, whether in training or on the ISS where quick thinking and calm leadership made a difference for you?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  09:57 Yeah, definitely. I think that I.... Actually, a great example is our space walk that Anne McClain and I did about a month and a half ago. You know, right in the middle of the space walk, the priorities changed and the game plan changed. And if you were just an onlooker watching, sitting at home watching, you may not have even noticed that. And I think that's a huge testament to our ground team and our flight director, Deanna Trujillo, for the day, you know, her ability to lead that ground team and change the game plan on the fly, and then get those words up to us through some calm loss and some other hardships that we were working through, and then for us, for Anna and I, to work together, both just the two of us out outside the space station and the vacuum of space, but also us with the ground to make that all look very seamless. We're very proud of how that space walk went, and our ability to kind of change the plan on the fly, execute, come up with new ways of doing things, and figuring out how we're going to leave the station in a good state, and also achieve all those objectives. So think that was we're actually really proud of the way that we, you know, manage all of those changes, and hopefully to the onlooker like yourself. It looks seamless.   Naviere Walkewicz  11:04 Absolutely and it kind of talks a little bit to what you said earlier about, you know, seeing Earth from a different vantage point and wanting to protect it. I'd like to actually ask you more about that. So can you share, from your vantage point what you've observed about humanity and the resilience as you, as you look on it, from us, from our perspective here on Earth, and you being up there,   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  11:24 Yeah, you know, I think that one of the biggest things that, you know, I mentioned the natural disasters that we see and, you know, and I feel a sense of duty to photograph and to try to document the things that just humans endure on a daily basis. You know, I talked about thunderstorms or landslides, forest fires, all sorts of things. You know, we see it from such a different vantage point up here. And, you know, knowing that there are people down there who are trying to survive, and knowing that those people will survive, and that we have an entire community that's going to rally around those people in those instances. And you know, just trying to do our part from up here and give, you know, that unique vantage point and give as much data and as much help as we possibly can. I think that's one of the biggest things that our world does well, is, you know, helping each other when we're in need.   Naviere Walkewicz  12:09 And Lieutenant Colonel Ayres, maybe you can share what's been the impact of this mission on your sense of purpose, and how do you think it will shape your next chapter when you come back on Earth?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  12:22 This is a great question. I've done a lot of thinking about this, you know, you know, finally achieving your childhood dream. What's next? You know, what do you do next? And I think for me, the biggest thing that I want to continue to do is just inspire the next generation. You know, all those little kids who say they want to be astronauts, and then they get laughed at as adults. You know, I think that's it's so important to just foster that curiosity and foster that sense of exploration. And really, you know, encourage the next generation to go do what they're passionate about, because we will always need someone in that niche thing that you're passionate about. And so helping people get there is, is really what I want to do next. And, you know, helping the next youth get to their dreams and their goals and continue to just build this society that continues to explore and as you know, especially as we go to the moon and onto Mars and we commercialize low earth orbit, I think there's so much that we can do. And it's I feel, again, a sense of duty to help the next generation do that?   Naviere Walkewicz  13:21 Well, we talk about the next generation and the long blue line being enduring. Is there anything else you'd want to share with Air Force Academy grads in general?   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  13:30 Yeah, you know, I think it might be a dead horse that I'm beating at this point, but the teamwork is so important. You know, just, just take care of the people around you. Make sure that you're always looking out for each other. You know, the long blue line is a very special thing to be a part of. And, you know, like yourself, you know, I met you a couple years ago, and it feels like I could just go, you know, hang out with you, have dinner, and we could pick up like old friends. And that's what the long blue line is all about. You know, having friends all over the world who can help you. You know, I got to hang out with Nick Hague in space, another member of the long blue line who told me I was going to be squishy. You know, things like that are just the unique moments that we have as Academy grads. You know, there's always going to be someone there who supports you and who loves you and who wants to see you be successful,   Naviere Walkewicz  14:15 Wonderful. Thank you so much for this time. There's probably so many more questions we could ask you, but I think the biggest one is just, you know, we would leave you with it's such an honor and a privilege to see you out there. We're proud of everything that you're doing, and we can't wait to see more of what you're able to accomplish while you're in space and when you come back.   Lt. Col. Nichole Ayers  14:34 Thank you so much. Like I said, so excited to talk to you today and to just share the experience and also, you know, have a have an influence on the AOG. I'm excited that the AOG is interested in space and interested in all of us who are out here. You know, again, the Long Blue Line is a really cherished and unique group to be a part of. So honored and proud to be a part of that group, and excited that I got to share a little bit of what we do up here with you guys today.   Naviere Walkewicz  15:02 Thank you so much for the time. Naviere Walkewicz  Well, before I close, I'd like to share what happened after the podcast. My cell phone rang, and I had a call from government, and I said, “Who could be calling me?” Well, I answered, and wouldn't you know 250 miles above the Earth, Vapor Ayers was calling me on my cell phone just to say what an amazing conversation we had. What technology we have, that she sounded like she was next door. It was an incredible opportunity for us to talk a little bit more about the podcast and highlight what you might hear in an upcoming Checkpoints article. So for now, I'll sign off. I'm Naviere Walkewicz, Class of '99. Thank you for listening. This has been a special presentation of the US, Air Force Academy, Association and Foundation's Long Blue Line Podcast Network.

In this special episode of First Light, we flip the script once again as Amanda steps back behind the mic to host a candid conversation about life, training, and the rhythm of family through seasons of change. From navigating the chaos of summer to gearing up for a full Ironman, this episode offers a raw look at what it takes to chase a massive goal while keeping life (somewhat) balanced. Expect real talk, heartfelt encouragement, and a behind-the-scenes look into the support, sacrifice, and structure that drive transformation—from the person who sees it all up close. ✅ 7 Key Takeaways: Discipline Over Motivation:Training for an Ironman isn't about feeling inspired every day—it's about showing up, especially when you don't feel like it.Training Is Harder Than the Event:The long hours, early mornings, and multi-session days push the body and mind far beyond race day itself.Family Support Is a Game-Changer:Having a partner who understands the goal and actively supports the process makes the journey sustainable—and meaningful.Nutrition Can Make or Break Progress:Fueling properly isn't just helpful—it's critical, especially when burning thousands of calories before noon.Summer Was Strategic:Vacation came early this year to clear space for serious training. Timing matters when building a disciplined routine.Balance Is a Moving Target:Between school prep, family life, and training blocks, staying organized and adaptable is the only way through.Recovery Is Non-Negotiable:Proper rest, nutrition, and recovery tools (like cold plunges) are vital in handling the physical demands of intense training.

In this episode of Learning Through Technology, we sit down with Dr. John Morgan—CTO, former chemistry teacher, and unofficial Lord (yes, really)—to explore what it truly means to lead through chaos. Dr. Morgan shares his journey of transitioning between two school districts during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, each presenting its own challenges and opportunities for innovation.He unpacks the ingenuity behind the "Level 0" tech ticket, a system that empowered school staff to handle basic tech issues without IT intervention—a small shift with massive impact. We dive into how his team grew through creative problem-solving, how he deliberately fosters a culture of psychological safety and experimentation, and why disagreement is not only welcome but essential.From automation strategies to intentional talent turnover, from cyber threats to scope creep, John brings clarity, honesty, and humor to the ever-expanding role of tech in education. And yes, we cap things off with the story behind his royal title, bestowed by none other than Groupon.Key Moments04:28 Streamlined Tech Support Strategy07:01 Menifee Team Growth Reflections11:49 Encouraging Constructive Disagreement in Leadership15:15 Funding and Data Security Challenges16:28 Technology Challenges and Budget Uncertainty20:09 Automating Tech with Fresh Talent23:36 "Rapid Growth in Edutech Innovation"26:08 Automating Tasks to Level Zero30:02 "Final Interview Question Ritual"33:40 "Level Zero Tech Ticket Concept"Why You'll Love This Episode:You'll love this episode if you're a tech leader navigating change, a school administrator trying to stretch limited resources, or just someone curious about how real leadership looks in the face of uncertainty.

We move into the eighth episode of a series on quotes that coaches should NOT use in their own personal development or with their teams. Today, we cover a concept that ALL of us, not just coaches, need to be aware of and try not to do when it comes to communicating: sending mixed messages.I have two different scenarios that I discuss in here where I have seen coaches make this mistake. I'm sure there are probably more, but you will get the gist of the matter by hearing about these two situations where mixed messages are sent.Also, you will hear me talk about "Team Building Through Positive Conditioning" in this episode. If you are interested in diving into that concept a bit more, I suggest you pick up the eBook or video of that presentation or have me out to your school to talk to your coaches about it. Click here or go to proactivecoaching.info to find out more.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Valami nincs rendben."En: "Help! Something is wrong."Hu: Hangja alig hallatszott a fürdő zajában.En: Her voice barely rose above the noise of the baths.Hu: Az emberek izgatottan néztek körül, miközben Zoltán azonnal észrevette a bajt, és Eszterhez sietett.En: People looked around anxiously while Zoltán immediately noticed the trouble and hurried to Eszter's side.Hu: Árpád rögtön reagált a hívásra.En: Árpád responded promptly to the call.Hu: Szerepe volt, hogy segíteni tudjon, de valami bujkáló bizonytalanság ott lapult a szívében.En: It was his role to help, but a lurking uncertainty lay in his heart.Hu: A helyzet komplikált volt; a tömeg és az eszközök hiánya nehézzé tették a dolgát.En: The situation was complicated; the crowd and lack of tools made things difficult.Hu: „Doctor úr, mi a baj?" kérdezte idegesen Árpád, miután megérkezett Zoltán mellé.En: "Doctor sir, what's the matter?" Árpád asked nervously after arriving beside Zoltán.Hu: Az orvos azt javasolta, hogy a régi módszerei szerint járjanak el.En: The doctor suggested they proceed using his old methods.Hu: Az elején Árpád habozott, mivel a saját modern eszközeit szerette volna alkalmazni.En: Initially, Árpád hesitated because he preferred to use his own modern tools.Hu: A boruló felhők egyre sötétebbé tették az eget feszültséggel együtt.En: The overcast clouds made the sky darker and increased the tension.Hu: Árpád belátta, hogy együtt kell dolgozniuk.En: Árpád realized they needed to work together.Hu: Először ezt nehéz volt megemészteni, de a mentőautóhoz hívta Esztert, míg Zoltán tanácsokkal látta el a közös munkát.En: At first, this was hard to digest, but he called for an ambulance for Eszter, while Zoltán provided advice on their joint effort.Hu: Az idő lassan telt, de végül a közös munka eredménye meglátszott.En: Time passed slowly, but eventually, the results of their teamwork were visible.Hu: Eszter állapota stabilizálódott.En: Eszter's condition stabilized.Hu: Ahogy elvitték a kórházba, hálás mosolyt küldött megmentői felé.En: As she was taken to the hospital, she sent a grateful smile to her rescuers.Hu: Árpád kollégái elégedettségüket fejezték ki; elismerték az erőfeszítéseit és bátorságát.En: Árpád's colleagues expressed their satisfaction, acknowledging his efforts and courage.Hu: Zoltán mosollyal tapsolt Árpád hátára.En: Zoltán patted Árpád on the back with a smile.Hu: „Jól dolgoztál, fiam. Lassan megérted, hogy az orvoslás nemcsak a technológiában rejlik, hanem a tapasztalat és az együttműködés is számít."En: "You did well, son. You're slowly understanding that medicine isn't just about technology, but experience and collaboration also count."Hu: Árpád megérezte a hálát a fogyó nap sugarai alatt.En: Árpád felt gratitude under the setting sun's rays.Hu: Megtanulta, hogy a sikeres beavatkozás nemcsak a saját tudására épít.En: He learned that a successful intervention isn't built solely on his own knowledge.Hu: Az igazi bátorság abban rejlik, ha elfogadjuk a segítséget és tanácsot másoktól.En: True courage lies in accepting help and advice from others.Hu: Azóta biztosabbá vált magában, és kapcsolata régi és új módszerekkel egyaránt erős alapot nyert.En: Since then, he became more confident in himself, and his connection with both old and new methods gained a strong foundation.

There’s a good chance you’ve seen a two-man saw. With handles on both sides, it’s an excellent example of teamwork. One man pushes, the other man pulls – and then vice versa. Some of those saws were 12 feet long. The Christian life has many examples of teamwork, and today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us focus on discipleship. It addresses the push n’ pull of daily life as a believer – where a new believer and a veteran believer each have something to offer the other.
