Restoring Lost Values | Week 7: Three Ways To Live a Counter-Culture Life // Ryland Walter // In a world filled with pressure and brokenness, many of us have become desensitized to the erosion of our culture. Yet, there is hope in Christ, our Redeemer, who offers us restoration and a return to true character and godly values. Join us for this series as we explore the crucial task of restoring lost values in our lives and communities. As we navigate the changing landscape around us, let's rediscover the timeless principles that guide us, dust off what's been neglected, and actively participate in bringing back what is essential for a flourishing life in Christ.
As we glide into the second half of 2025, I've been taking this mid year mark as an opportunity to go back through some of my most popular episodes from last year... This one was too good not to share again.It's as relevant today as it was when I first released it. Enjoy!------I am a raging introvert. Yes, I love getting out running business events, meeting new people and being around other humans, but I also need a lot of downtime afterwards.As an introvert, I need a lot of space on my own so that I can recharge.When you run your own business, networking and building relationships is one of the key activities that you need to give attention to. But if you're an introvert, that's often not something you feel particularly enthusiastic about doing. So how do you reach out to other business people as an introvert?I have a few key strategies that have helped me build valuable relationships as an introvert, and my hope is that they help you too.LINKS:WebsiteFor a copy of Emma's book, 'Go-getter: Raise your mojo, shift your mindset and thrive' – https://www.emmamcqueen.com.au/book/
Welcome back, Fashion Besties! This week on Wear This Not That, Holly is turning your everyday wardrobe upside down—in the most fabulous way possible.
Customer success professionals are often thrown into the deep end. They are told to act like trusted advisors, which includes driving adoption, building relationships, or uncovering growth opportunities without being given clear instructions or training on what to do.That's why I wrote The Strategic Customer Success Manager — and why I joined a recent webinar with CS Insider to provide some assistance to CSMs. We mainly focused on how to build more trusted relationships with clients and colleagues, and this post distills the key takeaways from that session. It will help you move from task manager to trusted advisor.You're operating as a task master and not even realizing itLet's get real: If your day is filled with sending “just checking in” emails, logging product bugs, or reacting to renewal reminders, you're operating as a task manager.A trusted advisor, on the other hand, earns a seat at the strategic table. Their customers typically don't ignore their messages or meeting requests. Why? Because they bring insights, not just unstructured agendas.The trusted advisor starts with the customer's business, not just their product usage.Three Ways to Uplevel Your Role1. Start with the Company, Not the ProductTypical CSMs say:“I noticed you haven't used Feature X.”Strategic CSMs ask (a Bob London disruptive question):“If your leadership team were sitting around a table, what's the number one priority they would be discussing?”The difference?By trying to understand your customer's business and internal pressures, you position yourself to tie product capabilities directly to business outcomes. And that's where value lives.2. Focus on Impact, Not Just AdoptionAdoption is typically a vanity metric - it doesn't tell the whole story. Just because users are logging in doesn't mean you're making a difference.Ask yourself:* Are we solving the problem they hired us to solve?* Is our solution affecting their key KPIs?* Can they prove ROI internally?Better yet — help them prove it. At Siena, we created an ROI calculator to show savings and outcomes tied directly to our solution. Customers took it and ran straight to their execs with it. It made renewal a non-issue.3. Be Customer + Company CentricBeing customer-centric is a foundational element of being a customer success professional. But being customer and company-centric takes you to another level to the strategic layer.This means:* Bringing well-framed feature requests to the product team, not just a wishlist.* Saying “no” the right way — with alternatives and rationale.* Understanding your company's priorities so you can balance the two worlds.Your product team, sales team, and execs will trust you more. And your customers? They'll thank you for helping them see the big picture. You just need to communicate this in the right way (I go into this more in chapter 17 of the book).Building Trust: The Real DifferentiatorTrust is the foundation of strategic customer success. And it doesn't just come from solving tickets.Here's what it does come from:* Disruptive questions: Ask questions that make you and your customer a bit uncomfortable. In the webinar, I share a story where I ask the question, “Is there anything you hoped I'd ask but didn't?” This leads to an outpouring of information from the customer that helped us secure a two-year renewal.* Extreme ownership: Take responsibility when SNAFUs occur - don't place blame. The customer doesn't care who caused the issue. They just want it resolved. Focus on that and get away from the blame game. Do you really think someone intended to mess up? Probably not. In addition, don't throw other departments under the bus.* Vulnerability: Saying “I need help” — to your colleagues is OK. Asking for assistance isn't demonstrating weakness. It's showing that you're strong enough to admit that you can't handle everything on your own. Being vulnerable also means letting your clients know more about who you are as a person. When you do this, they will do the same and it will deepen your relationship.* Consistency: Follow through on what you commit to. Words are words until you act. If you fail to follow up or show up consistently, you damage trust.* Candor + Care: Saying no, kindly but firmly, when needed. If you've built a strong relationship with your clients, built on value and trust, you've earned the right to push back from time to time. It's not about your customers liking you - it's about achieving their business outcomes. Sometimes the answer is “I'm sorry, but we just can't do that”.You're not their buddy. You're not their therapist (ok, maybe you are). You're their partner. That's what being strategic means.Your Personal Roadmap to Becoming StrategicYou don't become a trusted advisor overnight. Just like your product has a roadmap, you need one too.Start here:* Pick one challenging question (e.g., “From 1–10, what are the chances you'd renew tomorrow?”).* Practice it. Use it with 3 clients this month.* Review responses with your team. What worked? What didn't?* Layer in more strategic techniques from there.And always bring a “golden nugget” to every call — a story, insight, feature, or piece of data that adds unexpected value.Final Thought: It's Not a Title — It's a MindsetBecoming a strategic CSM isn't about waiting for a promotion or new role. It's about how you show up right now.Ask better questions. Prepare deeper insights. Balance your customer's needs with your company's goals. And never forget: you are the differentiator.Let's make “strategic” the new standard.Here is the full video from CS Insider and feel free to ask me questions here. This is a public episode.

Lactate threshold is the one pace that impacts everything from your long runs to race day performance, yet 90% of runners train it wrong.If you're somewhere between jogging for fun and grinding it out at VO₂ max, you're likely skipping over the most valuable pace in your training—threshold. In this episode, I break down what threshold running actually is, why it matters way more than you think, and how to train it without needing a coach, a lab, or fancy gear. I'll walk you through what's happening inside your body, how to train this “sweet spot” pace, and how to avoid the biggest mistakes runners make with it. You'll also get a free download to test and train your own threshold pace, so you can finally stop winging it and run smarter.Key TakeawaysLactate threshold isn't bad—it's a fuel source for runners. The burn you feel during hard efforts comes from hydrogen ions, not lactate itself.Threshold training improves endurance by teaching your body to clear lactate faster, process fuel better, and maintain pace without breaking down.Threshold training should be part of a balanced plan — using progressive long runs, tempo intervals, and race-specific workouts helps improve performance without burnout.Timestamps[00:26] What You'll Learn[01:15] What Is Lactate Threshold[01:42] Four Fun Run Science Facts About Lactate[03:11] What Happens When You Train At Threshold[03:45] Use This To Find and Train Your Threshold[04:33] Why Threshold Sits At The Center Of Your Training[05:15] Three Ways to Train Threshold[08:47] Metaphors To Help Understand Threshold[09:28] Use This Free Tool To Improve your ThresholdLinks & Learnings

Grace Bell, facilitator of The Work, assists people to identify and question their stressful ways of looking at life. She offers Year of Inquiry, a vibrant membership community of inquirers Sept-June each year. Learn more about Year of Inquiry at https://workwithgrace.com/year-of-inquiry Grace also has a special love for those suffering from eating issues including disordered eating (disordered thinking) of all kinds--having suffered from this behavior and thought/feeling process herself and finding an unshakable peace within around eating, food, health and behaviors with eating. Grace works with all kinds of compulsions, habits and addictions as they are all the same thing: a pull to some behavior, substance or activity in order to help us with our stressful feelings and thoughts. As Byron Katie offers us (founder of The Work); when we believe what we think, it creates unnecessary suffering. When we question what we think, we feel lighter and less serious about what is. We even begin to laugh. We notice who we really are is peaceful already, a human being living life as best we can--learning, growing, loving. In the public sessions on this youtube channel, we have all-group inquiry sessions called First Friday Inquiry, we have interviews with practitioners of The Work, we have Eating Peace videos (on the eating peace playlist) and we have individual sessions in The Work by courageous people willing to be recorded for Peace Talk podcast and this channel. Thanks to everyone involved in what is shared here on this channel, as it is great service to others in the world who find their way here and who are curious about life without "believing" thought all the time. In all-group sessions and solo sessions, we begin with a judgment...and move into the four questions and turnarounds. Willingness to be real and honest with your thinking is the first powerful step in The Work. No one ever has to share when attending Friday Inquiry, and thank you when you do. For the Work With Grace programs and more information, and to get on the Grace Notes mailing list for updates and sharing of all kinds around The Work, please visit www.workwithgrace.com To receive notice of Eating Peace programs, videos and vlog posts, visit www.workwithgrace.com/eating-peace and join the mailing list.

Mark 1:21-28 21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law. 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an evil spirit cried out, 24 "What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are - the Holy One of God!" 25 "Be quiet!" said Jesus sternly. "Come out of him!" 26 The evil spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. 27 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching - and with authority! He even gives orders to evil spirits and then obey him." 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee. NIV 84 Lesson Notes Capernaum It is a town on the north shore of the Sea of Galilee and is most likely the hometown of Peter, Andrew, James, John, and Matthew. It is fitting then that it becomes kind of their headquarters for ministry to the region of Galilee. Synagogue It is a place where Jews would gather for instruction. They formed during the time of exile after the temple was destroyed. Wherever there were 10 Jewish men above the age of 12 a synagogue could be formed. Good Theology "Even the demons ace their theology exam." The evil spirit recognizes the humanity of Jesus, the mission of Jesus, and the divinity of Jesus. The Calming of the Storm 39 He rebuked the wind said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" 41 They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? That even the wind and waves obey Him." Three Ways to Respond to Instruction 1 To perceive a sound (hearing) 2 To pay attention (listening) 3 To position under (obeying) - obedience literally means to "hear under" Response to the Instruction of Jesus In order to understand the teaching of Jesus Christ, you have to stand under the teaching of Jesus Christ. The only way to over-come the world is to place yourself under the authority of Jesus Christ. Discussion Questions 1 Icebreaker: For fun: If I asked your friends or family to name a subject of which they thought you were an authority, what might they say and why? 2 In verse 22, the people are impressed because Jesus teaches as an authority. In verse 27, the people are unsettled because Jesus teaches with authority. What is the difference between being an authority and having authority? 3 Read Mark 4:35-41 and compare the interaction between Jesus and the storm with our text this morning. What stands out the most to you as you compare them? 4 There are three different ways to respond to instruction listed in the notes. Discuss the differences between the three responses. How have you seen each of these responses in your own life when it comes to following Jesus?
Members of Congress are on their way home as we speak, for basically a month long recess, which is known in Congressional speak as a district work period. I want to make sure you have everything you need to take full advantage of this significant opportunity, while you have them right there, easily accessible to you home in the district. And I know. I hear you. You could be forgiven for thinking that you don't want to see another member of Congress for as long as you live, given how they've been behaving as a body lately. But whoever you've got representing you, they're who you've got right now. Even if we're displeased with them or frustrated with them, we still need to engage them. We still need them doing as much as possible on behalf of the people we serve and the work that we do. The good news is that your chances of highly successful engagement go way up when they're home in the district or state – if you know how to leverage the three best ways to engage them. In this episode, we share:How members of Congress operate differently when they're home, and how that creates exceptional opportunities for engagementThe unique advantages offered by a strategically designed program visitHow to create a powerful engagement experience at your program, that is strategically designed to produce resultsThe boring, but essential action you need to take immediately to ensure your successHow to leverage the unique features of town hall meetings for maximum impactWhat NOT to do with your messaging in a town hall settingHow to create empowering and successful opportunities for your clients, volunteers and supporters to be involved in engaging your members of Congress at homeLink: Episode 31 – How to Get Maximum Results from a Decisionmaker's Visit to Your Program

Are you waiting for the perfect moment to finally start living the life you were created for? In this episode of Mornings with Monette, I'm diving into what I call the “someday when” trap—the mindset that keeps us settling, stuck, and spiritually stalled.I've lived it. I used to think someday when my kids were grown, someday when I had more time, someday when life slowed down… then I'd focus on my marriage, my health, my joy. But one quiet morning on my porch, I realized: someday isn't coming unless I choose to change something today.In this episode, I'm sharing three powerful steps to help you break free from the “good enough” rut:Identify where you're settling.Take one small action that moves you forward.Celebrate progress over perfection.You'll also hear a personal story of transformation in my marriage that proves it's never too late to stop waiting and start living. If you're tired of feeling stuck, if your heart is longing for purpose, connection, and joy—this conversation is for you.Don't wait for someday. Your life is happening now. Let's step into it—together.

In this candid conversation, we'll dive into the real emotions, questions, and choices shoppers face when confronted with checkout charity requests.

The Third Growth Option with Benno Duenkelsbuehler and Guests
Are you looking for a Third Growth Option ℠ ? The growth strategy you've trusted for years might be the very thing keeping your business stuck.Most companies default to a binary choice:Organic growth (get better, faster, cheaper with what you've got), orAcquisition (buy your way to scale, and hope the integration sticks).But both come with real headaches—breaking down internal silos, aligning teams, post-merger chaos... Sound familiar?There's a Third Growth Option—and it's driving results that traditional methods miss. I've seen it add $26M in revenue by expanding a lighting company into furniture, and double a factory's revenue just by fixing how they go to market.This approach focuses on three high-impact levers:Expanding into adjacent product categoriesTapping new distribution channelsSharpening your go-to-market executionThe beauty? You can build this engine without burning out your core team—because it runs alongside your day-to-day ops, not instead of them.If your business is plateauing—or if growth feels like pushing a boulder uphill—this might be the framework you've been missing. Let's talk about what's getting in your way and how this Third Growth Option could unlock your next leap.Always growing.Benno Duenkelsbuehler CEO & Chief Sherpa of (re)ALIGN reALIGNforResults.com benno@realignforresults.com

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Mark 12:28-34, Col 3:23-25, Rom 12:1, 1 Pet 2:9.Sermon NotesI. Introduction: Restoring What's BrokenIllustration: Restoring furniture — sometimes better than new.Recap of the series:Week 1 – Creation: Work is good. (Listen here)Week 2 – Fall: Work is broken by sin. (Listen here)Week 3 – Redemption: Jesus is making all things new — including our work.II. Big Biblical Truth – Revelation 21:5“Behold, I am making all things new.”Not “all new things” — but “all things new.”Present tense: Jesus is doing this now.Redemption includes more than souls — it includes work.III. Three Ways to Integrate Faith and Work1. Do Good WorkChristian work should be excellent, honest, dependable.Colossians 3:23–24 — Work for the Lord, not just for people.Keep growing in skill, creativity, and integrity.Guardrail: Excellence ≠ perfectionism or workaholism.2. Serve Others Through Your WorkWork connects us to others; we meet real needs.Luther: God provides through everyday vocations (farmers, bakers…).Purpose matters: Chick-fil-A example — work as a positive influence.You can serve others through your work, even if your workplace doesn't.3. Worship Through Your WorkWe are a priesthood of believers (1 Peter 2:9).Romans 12:1 — Offer your bodies (and work) as a living sacrifice.Visual: Imagine lifting your work up to God each day in worship.“Lord, I offer my work to You…”Sermon ApplicationDiscussion Questions:Do you feel "called" to your job?
