PLUS… Transcript & Links, Episode 59, June 4, 2021 Hello, Ron Robins here. Welcome to podcast episode 59 published on June 4, titled “Socially Responsible Dividend Stocks. PLUS…” — and presented by Investing for the Soul. investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript, links to content – including stock symbols, quotes, and bonus material – at this episode's podcast page located at investingforthesoul.com/podcasts. Now, just a reminder. I do not evaluate any of the stocks or funds mentioned in this podcast. I only mention what the analysts and writers are saying! However, there might be an odd occasion where I do add a comment. Furthermore, if you're concerned about the ESG and sustainability ratings of any stock or fund included in this podcast, check your broker's online site for such information. If your broker doesn't have this information, signup for free with Morningstar and you can gain access to company and fund ESG-sustainability ratings. Please note, I receive no compensation from Morningstar or anyone else covered in these podcasts. If any terms are unfamiliar to you, simply do a Google search for that term. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Socially Responsible Dividend Stocks Now many ethical and sustainable investors are interested in socially responsible dividend stocks. Fortunately, the staff at the Dividend Channel have identified what they believe are the 25 top socially responsible dividend stocks. But if you view more than 6 pages within 6 hours on their site then you're required to register to view more. Registration is free but do review their privacy policy and terms of use before signing up. So, I'll just mention a few of their selected companies. The link to their site is on this podcast's webpage. The selected companies include: Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) — 4.27% Yield Truist Financial Corp (NYSE: TFC) — 2.91% Yield Eaton Corp plc (NYSE: ETN) — 2.09% Yield, and Gilead Sciences Inc (NASDAQ: GILD) — 4.30% Yield ------------------------------------------------------------- Best Health Care Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 To Know My first article concerns health care stocks. In one way or another, these are in nearly every ethical and sustainable investor's portfolio. Now the article I want to draw your attention to is titled Best Health Care Stocks To Buy This Week? 4 To Know by Jonathan Phillip. It appeared on nasdaq.com. Here are the stocks Mr. Phillip's covers. I'll name them and follow on with brief quotes from him. “1. Reata Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RETA) The company focuses on identifying, developing, and commercializing product candidates for a range of serious or life-threatening diseases… Reata announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has requested the company to submit a request for a pre-NDA meeting for Omaveloxolone for the treatment of Friedreich's Ataxia… Given that there is no known cure at this point for Friedreich's Ataxia, approval of this drug would be monumental for the company. 2. Genetron Holdings (NASDAQ: GTH) Genetron Holdings Limited is a precision oncology company that specializes in cancer molecular profiling. It also harnesses technologies in molecular biology and data science to transform cancer treatment… The company operates its businesses primarily within the China market. Genetron stock has been up by over 60% since the start of the year. 3. I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB) I-Mab is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that commits to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel or highly differentiated biologics. The company aims to treat diseases with significant unmet medical needs, particularly cancers and autoimmune disorders … the health care company stock has been performing extremely well. Impressively, it has risen by more than 220% over the past year with its bullish trend still intact. 4. Merck & Co. (NYSE: MRK) This is a global health care company that offers health solutions through its prescription medicines, vaccines, biologic therapies, and animal health products. It operates through four segments: Pharmaceutical, Animal Health, Healthcare Services, and Alliances. The company's drug Keytruda is one of the best-selling drugs in the world, generating almost $14.4 billion in revenue in 2020.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- These 3 Renewable Energy Companies Are Getting Too Cheap to Ignore Now three regulars to The Motley Fool site have contributed to this article titled These 3 Renewable Energy Companies Are Getting Too Cheap to Ignore. 1. Travis Hoium suggests Canadian Solar (NASDAQ: CSIQ) He says “in the case of Canadian Solar, the value is now too good to pass up… (its) ability to raise prices when costs go up should help Canadian Solar's slow and steady improvement in margin over the last decade. Solar markets can be volatile and profitability is unpredictable, but Canadian Solar's stock is cheap enough to be a value for investors given the company's market-leading position in manufacturing and deploying solar panels.” End quotes. 2. Howard Smith recommends Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) Quote “The market rotation away from growth and alternative energy stocks has brought many down significantly from their highs. Investors can take advantage of that by buying businesses with strong growth opportunities and income from higher dividend yields. Shares of Brookfield Renewable Partners have dropped more than 20% over the past three months. That has brought the current dividend yield to about 3.5%... The recent drop in the share price gives investors a good entry point that will also provide a high level of income from the current dividend.” End quotes. 3. Daniel Foelber likes Hannon Armstrong (NYSE: HASI) Mr. Foelber says that “(Hannon Armstrong) provides the capital needed to make renewable projects possible. As a real estate investment trust (REIT), Hannon Armstrong is in the business of making quality loans and passing its returns along to shareholders through dividends. Its long-term contracts tend to last for a decade or more, making its business relatively stable compared to other renewable energy stocks… With a price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 33 and a dividend yield just shy of 3%, Hannon Armstrong is one of the safer ways to take advantage of the renewable energy stock sell-off.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Green investing: top three green energy stocks to watch in 2021 There's a new alternative energy article on the capital.com site. It's titled Green investing: top three green energy stocks to watch in 2021. Here are the three they recommend followed by some quotes on each one. “1. Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (REGI) … is a biodiesel production company based in Iowa that has been a Fortune 1000 company since 2018, and boasts billions of dollars in annual revenue. It is a global producer and supplier of biodiesel and other renewable fuels… According to MarketBeat, analysts now anticipate that Renewable Energy Group will be worth about $100 a share very shortly… (It's) currently around $60. 2. Plug Power (PLUG) “While PLUG may not boast the kind of EBITDA sales that appeal to some investors, it still boasts a partnership with automaker Renault to integrate its fuel cell technology into European commercial vans. That's not all – a $1.5bn investment from Korea-based SK Group also has made Plug Power an attractive investment option to consider… Notable financial analysts, surveyed by The Wall Street Journal, estimate that Plug Power's stock price will reach $49 by the end of 2021, with others suggesting that it may reach as high as $79. (It's currently around $30.) 3. SunPower (SPWR) There are many leading solar companies in the United States, but few of them are better positioned to grow than SunPower. (It) specialises in both solar power and energy storage. The company's flagship product is ‘Maxeon,' a high-efficiency solar cell that boasts benefits over other traditional solar designs… Sunpower's stock price has a potential to increase as more homes and businesses decide to go solar.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Honorable Mentions 1. Title: Upcoming launch of Solar Energy UCITS ETF on London Stock Exchange offers Europe's first pure-play exposure to the global solar energy industry. Seen on etfexpress.com. 2. Title: Sustainable Impact Investing: 1 Cheap Stock for All Value Investors by Nikhil Kumar on ca.yahoo.finance.com. Quote “Dream Impact Trust (TSX: MPCT.UN)… focuses on investments that generate both strong financial returns and provide positive social and economic impacts in North American communities… The company's goal is to provide attainable and affordable housing.” 3. Title: What are the top renewable energy stocks to watch in 2021? Maxim Manturov on businesleader.co.uk suggests: SunPower Corp which I just covered; First Solar, Inc.; Sunworks, Inc., ReneSola Ltd., and Daqo New Energy Corp (which is controversial for many ethical investors as it's been accused of using forced labour). Mr. Manturov also says the three hottest renewable energy IPOs in 2021 are China Three Gorges Renewables (Group), Acciona Energia, and Infinite Blue Energy. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ending Comment Well, these are my top news stories with their stock and fund tips -- for this podcast: “Socially Responsible Dividend Stocks.

In this episode, we talk with Rosie Nestingen - Tech Transformation Director at Best Buy and one of Twin Cities Business Magazine’s “100 To Know in 2021” (https://tcbmag.com/tcb-100-people/rosie-nestingen/). From getting a high end consignment shop into the digital world through roles in digital marketing to shaping tech talent transformation on a digital and technology team, Rosie sparked her own curiosity and now is helping others to find that spark. We talk with Rosie about networking, about improving accessibility to tech and tech careers, and project managing yourself. We talk about what questions you ask yourself and the people you work with, including challenging folks to think about who is included in the conversation and how to increase connections and open more opportunities for people who might not otherwise have a path into tech. 

Psalm 8 Psalms • Week 2May 16, 2021 • Dave Brown--Psalm 8 NIV Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!To Know our PlaceTo Know our Savior To Know How to Worship31% of Oklahomans report signs of clinical anxiety and depressionThat's 1.25 million people in our state.We are a pride based and a shame based culture.We are constantly doing one of two things:Elevating ourselves as God or Thinking of ourselves as nothingPsalm 8:5 NIVYou have made them a little lower than the angels.ποίημα = masterpiecePsalm 8:2 NIV Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.Matthew 21:14-16 NIV The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them. But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise?”We must praise God with our lips and with our lives.Psalm 8:1,9 NIV “LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”“Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name...”Christ is either our Savior and Lord or He’s nothing to us at all.Both sin and busyness have the exact same effect—they cut off your connection to God, to other people, and even to your own soul.—John Mark Comer

Jeff Crosby, Publisher of InterVarsity Press, has learned the importance of discerning what he calls thresholds—those places and times in a leader's life when it becomes clear that a transition is about to take place. Jeff shares with us the way he has been able to discern how to navigate these leadership thresholds.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Jeff Crosby is the Publisher of InterVarsity Press, and the Chairman of the Board for the ECPA (Evangelical Christian Publishers Association).When Jeff was in high school, he was given a Bible and a book titled, Me Be Like Jesus? by Leslie Flynn. This began his journey of faith.Soon Jeff Crosby discovered authors like John Stott, Francis Schaeffer, James Sire, and Paul Little, all of whom were published by InterVarsity Press, the company for which Jeff has now been working for the past twenty-three years.Jeff Crosby and his wife re-opened a Logos bookstore in 1983 near the Indiana University campus. Though this was a risk for a young couple, it was a calling.Jeff and his wife continued running the bookstore until a competitor that branded itself as “The World’s Biggest Bookstore” came along. That competitor was Amazon.com.Eventually, Jeff Crosby was invited to join InterVarsity Press.In 2015, Jeff Crosby became the publisher of InterVarsity Press.Jeff never aspired to be a chief executive of an organization. Originally, he wanted to be a truck driver!Several people were instrumental in helping Jeff discern next steps:Jeff’s wifeMentorsAn informal “advisory council” of friendsBooks have also provided guidance throughout his life.As a natural peacemaker, one of Jeff’s greatest leadership challenges has been to recognize that the absence of conflict is not always possible or even desirable.Jeff Crosby has grown in his ability to embrace mystery.Jeff has found it is more important for leaders to be attentive listeners than polished presenters.You can follow Jeff on Twitter at @jeffcrosby2.

You’ve heard it time and time again on this podcast: That influencer marketing not only works, but could be the key to unlocking massive business potential for your eComm business. Influencers have the power to take a product – or an entire brand – from unknown to a trending topic product overnight. And sometimes, the community that they build is so valuable, it creates a jumping off point for a business of their own. That’s what Deepica Mutyala did when she launched LIVE TINTED. On this episode of Up Next in Commerce, Deepica takes us through how she progressed as an intrapreneur at BirchBox before she took the plunge and set out on her own journey. And it all started after one beauty video that she made went viral on YouTube. Deepica explains how she went about building a community based on a mission to bring more diversity to the industry, and how she’s been able to tap into that community to create content and launch a successful business with products designed specifically for her community. Plus, Deepica reveals some of the advice she got from her investors and mentors like Bobbi Brown and Andy Dunn. Enjoy this episode!Main Takeaways:Deprioritize the Big Channels: It’s okay to deprioritize big marketing channels such as Facebook in order to explore and engage with users elsewhere. Facebook will always be there, but you might catch lightning in a bottle if you are willing to adapt and explore new platforms. It’s Not a Dirty Word: Influencers tend to get a bad rap, but the truth is that anyone can be an influencer, and that influence can be nurtured for the good of a community and a business. By tapping into the power of a community, growth becomes much more attainable.Start Where You Are: Intrapreneurship is an avenue you hear about less often, but is a strategic way for anyone with bigger dreams to learn the ins and outs of business. By embedding yourself in a business that works, volunteering to help in every department, making connections, and taking all of your learnings to build an initiative internally or on the side, you can advance as a true entrepreneur much faster. More Than A Check: Fundraising isn’t just about filling your bank account, it’s also about adding to your knowledge bank. Deepica tapped into mentors and investors like Bobbi Brown, Andy Dunn, Payal Kadakiam, Hayley Barna and others to learn from their experiences and invite them to be a part of her own growth. Tune in to the episode to hear some of the advice they each gave to Deepica!For an in-depth look at this episode, check out the full transcript below.

Today, we're talking to Deepica Mutyala.Deepica:There you go, you nailed it.Stephanie:The CEO of a beauty brand, LIVE TINTED. Deepica, welcome.Deepica:Thanks for having me.Stephanie:How many times do people pause when they're like, "I'm about to botch your name, I know it, I know it, ah, there it goes?"Deepica:I mean a lot, but I appreciate the pause and effort to get it right, versus just blatant lack of attempt to try and get it right. So, I appreciate you trying. Thank you.Stephanie:Good. Yeah, thanks. Stephanie:So, I was doing a bit of research, as I always do on my guests, and I'm fascinated by LIVE TINTED. I mean, you have such a great story, so much stuff [inaudible] want to dive into, but first, I think it'd be fun to kind of talk through how you got here, your background, What did you do before you founded LIVE TINTED?Deepica:Yeah. So, I actually started my career on the corporate side of the beauty industry. In college, my first internship was at L'Oreal in New York, and post-college I had a brief stint at Limited Brands, which is now L Brands at Victoria's Secret, which is no longer there because they went bankrupt. So, I was there for a brief stint, but the whole goal and end game was to one day create my own beauty brand. I was that 16 year old girl who grew up in Sugar Land, Texas who said that... I was going to change the narrative of what I saw when I was going down the beauty aisles.Deepica:When I was a kid, I shopped at Walmart predominantly, honestly, that's where I shopped for beauty because, going to shop for beauty wasn't really a thing in my family's life, so when we were just getting groceries at Walmart, I would divert to the aisles and go look at makeup. And I would find myself not reflected in the ads, and I would also not see any foundation shades that worked for my skin tone. And I literally, remember telling my family at 16 that I was going to change that narrative one day, and everything I've done for my career since that point was to get me to starting LIVE TINTED.Deepica:So, it's kind of crazy being now back in Texas, like I was telling you earlier, that it's just really full circle being here, and finding doodles of me writing out what I thought my brand name was going to be, and talking to family members who are like, "It's just crazy that you're actually doing it." Because this is what I wanted to do. So then, after nine months at Limited Brands, I quit my job to take a risk on a startup called Birchbox, which at the time was the hottest tech company... Not even just beauty, but I think overarching, they created a whole category of subscription model that really created a whole new category.Deepica:And so, that was really cool, incredible experience working for two bad-ass female founders who, in my parents' eyes, were really okay with me working there, and taking a pay cut, and going for my dream, because the two founders went to HBS.Stephanie:Oh my gosh.Deepica:And so, they were like-Stephanie:I also read the quote from your... You were saying, "Oh, my dad all growing up would hand me a stethoscope," and then you would instead grab lipstick or something, and I thought that was really funny.Deepica:[crosstalk]. Yeah. It's kind of an Indian tradition where... There's this ceremony that happens... I think it's after your first 100 days, and we just did it for my nephew, where they put things in front of you [inaudible] like a book versus different things to see what you would gravitate towards. And instead of me gravitating towards anything that was in front of me, I was grabbing my mom's lipstick in her [crosstalk].Stephanie:In the purse digging over there.Deepica:Yeah, yeah, which is so funny, and crazy, and full circle now, but yeah, this was always the dream, and it's wild for me to look back and reflect. But I worked at Birchbox, and in true startup culture, you can create opportunities for yourself at a startup. And so, I made it very clear to the founders that I wanted to one day create my own beauty brand, and they gave me opportunities in the company to do that. Then, I had to do it a lot of the times, in my free time, it wasn't like... I still had to do my day job, but if there was projects that I could work on in my free time, I did it, because I saw it as Birchbox was my business school.Deepica:And they always said it as founders, right? But I truly felt it. I really felt like working there was an incredible network of really smart people, and I got to... Literally, you have an idea, you can test it, and just go for it. And so, I got to work on product development at Birchbox. I got to work on influencer partnerships at Birchbox. And when I did that, was my first time being like, "What is going on in this influencer world? And how much are these girls getting paid? What is happening?" Some random girl at Iowa getting paid this insane amount of money to do a YouTube video, and I was just like, "This is wild."Deepica:So, as I was doing that, was when I realized there was nobody who looked like me on YouTube creating content, and I kind of just saw it as a fun hobby. I was like, "You know what, Deepica? At the end of the day, you're not quitting your job, just do it on your weekends. And at the end of the day, all the people in your life that text you questions about makeup and things like that, you can just say, 'Go to my channel, stop texting me.'" So, really, I didn't think much of it. And so, January of 2015, I picked up my iPhone... Because again, I didn't know what I was doing video content wise, I had no clue how to... Ad revenue wasn't even activated. I didn't know.Deepica:And I picked up my iPhone and held it vertically instead of horizontally. The production, it was like I knew IGTV was happening before IGTV was happening. I did it in a vertical mode, and I used red lipstick under my eyes to mask dark circles... And people who are hearing this are probably literally so confused, but-Stephanie:I read that too, I was like, "Well, it'd be funny if I showed up with red lipstick under my eyes."Deepica:Oh my God, that would have been awesome. Yeah, no, I used red lipstick under my eyes to hide dark circles, and I guess that was crazy to 10 million people, because that video went viral, and yeah, has millions and millions of views.Stephanie:And it worked. For anyone who's like, "What did that look like?" I looked at the pictures and the video, it actually works.Deepica:Yeah. So, here's the deal, I basically... That was my biggest beauty concern my whole life, how to hide my dark circles? And it wasn't talked about, people didn't talk about it because it's such a specific problem to specific communities of people. And so, I just did the video that I had learned when I was on set one day, where a makeup artist was using a color corrector under my eyes, an actual product made for under your eyes, and I was like, "What are you doing putting red lipstick under my eyes." And she was like, "Oh no, it's a color corrector, it cancels out the darkness, so when you put on your foundation, you really can mask your dark circles, because you have extra pigments that require kind of additional correction." And I was like, "Well, what's the difference?"Deepica:My brain is always thinking about hacks and simplifying things, and so that doesn't change with my beauty routine. I want to always simplify things. And so, she basically, said, "Not much." And so, I filmed this video and it went viral, and when the video was at 4 million views, I got a call from the Today Show to come on to do the segment on air, and I quit my job that day. I kind of just had this moment of, this could be a cool 15 minutes of fame, or I could turn it into my dream career. [crosstalk].Stephanie:That's amazing. What did the founders say? Because I'm guessing, you had a pretty close relationship with them. I mean, they were letting you essentially, be an intrapreneur within their organization, and test things, and learn, and try, how did they feel about that? Because I saw that they were some of your first investors along with Bobbi Brown, which I'm like, "What? How did you get in front of her?" So, what was that process like leaving and getting them to invest afterwards?Deepica:Yeah, it was really tough. There's two co-founders, and they just had different mindsets, right? One of them was more like, "You are all on a Birch tree, and you're all acorns that will fall into the world." I remember she said... And she's the one that's currently an investor in my company, "I want to see you grow and thrive." And the other one, it's not to say that she didn't want the same thing, but she was really excited about me growing within the company. And listen, she had every reason to feel that way. She helped me get so many opportunities within the company to be able to create what I have been able to do today, and she gave me those opportunities, but it was more like... I was really close to her too, I worked more with her directly. So, of course, it was like one of those bittersweet things, but they're both incredible and really supportive.Deepica:But it was really scary to... I remember when I got... The day I got the email from the Today Show was when I pulled her into a room that day at 6:00 PM, towards the end of the day, and I just was like, "I feel like I have to go for it." And she gave me a really big hug and said, "She's really happy for me." But you could tell it was like a bittersweet thing, which I appreciated, because at the end of the day, that means she felt that I made an impact at the company.Stephanie:That's great. So, what was the Today Show like? Did you go on there and do a tutorial? Tell me a bit about that.Deepica:Oh my gosh, it was wild. So, my sister came on and was my model on air. So, she flew in from Texas. My dad was backstage sitting next to Kid Rock, which was hilarious. Picture this immigrant Indian dad who's like, "What is even happening? My daughter is on national television. And who is this guy with a beard and long hair, what's going on?" It was the moment where I realized that I was meant to do exactly what I'm doing in that moment. I was not nervous, I felt like that was... I was just meant to be there, it just felt that way. You know that Eminem song... What is it? Lose Yourself? You get one shot, one opportunity. I was listening to that backstage, and I literally felt like I had four minutes on national television to show people that a brown girl can do this.Stephanie:Mm-hmm (affirmative) Oh, that's great.Deepica:Yeah. I felt like I could be the Indian Hoda, and just be the next news anchor on the Today Show. I still feel like... I love doing live television, I think it's like... There is a beauty in the imperfections that come with it. And it was surreal, is what the word is, and incredible. And I remember after it was over... The hustle and bustle of live television is very real. The second the segment is over, they're like, boom, boom, boom, moving onto the next thing. And I was like, "That was so fun, let's do it again." Most people were just like, "All right, lady, we're moving on." But then, there was this senior producer who came up to me and she was like, "You should do it again."Deepica:And I was [inaudible] around, and it's so cool because my dad is in the background recording it, so I have all this on camera. But she just was like, "We can't believe it was your first time doing national television, we'd love to have you back regularly." And that was really cool for me, because everyone told me that when you go on national television, it's a cool moment in your life and you move on, and I feel like I proved the exact opposite, that if you have what it takes, you can make things happen for yourself. So, I became a regular doing beauty segments on the Today Show, and was a full-time influencer, which is a thing.Stephanie:Yeah, I saw that. That was one of the first things when I was looking into your bio a bit, and it's like, "Oh, Deepica is an influencer, and I think she's just signed a deal with WME." I'm like, "Oh." So, tell me, now you've got the status, and you're super popular, how did you think about capitalizing on that, and to get out of just being an influencer, and then being like, "I'm going to create my own stuff?"Deepica:Yeah. Well, here's the deal [inaudible] I never grew up saying I wanted to be an influencer or even be famous, but I did grow up saying I wanted to be a CEO and run my own business. And so, when you fall into something like this, it's very weird. But I think what got me through the years where I was just an influencer and didn't have the business side of it was, the end goal was the same. I wanted to change the face of representation for people who look like me, period. So whether that's in the media, or through my own beauty brand, the net goal was the same, and it still is the same.Deepica:And so, what I realized was, I had this opportunity to create a brand around myself that was really once in a lifetime, honestly. And I was just like, "I want to focus in on this and really learn everything I can about the beauty industry." Which at this point, I knew a decent amount. I worked at Birchbox, I had a lot of beauty brand contacts. And really, what I did was, after I quit my job, I emailed all my contacts and I was pretending to be my own assistant, and I was like, "Hello, I'm the assistant to Deepica Mutyala, beauty influencer with 10 million views, Today Show beauty expert, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, if you want to work with her, whatever."Deepica:And for every 100 emails I sent, I got one reply, and that one reply led to my first job where they asked me my rate, and I had no idea what to say. And then, when they said, "Okay," I realized, damn it, I could have asked for triple. You just learn as you go, and you're your own assistant, producer, editor, manager, agent, sometimes lawyer, which I don't recommend.Stephanie:Nope.Deepica:I'm like, "Bad idea."Stephanie:Yeah.Deepica:But you just learn as you go. And so, I think for me, what got me through being the girl who was waking up and taking selfies, and posting it for literally a career, I got paid to do that, was that I really saw a narrative in the beauty industry that didn't exist when I was growing up. There was no token brown girl, there was always... And even then, there wasn't really a token black girl growing up, that was still in the... Now, I feel like we're finally... It still has so, so much work to do, but I do think that we now have representation happening more than I ever saw growing up, but there still is this tokenism that happens where... I felt like for three years, as grateful as I am, that I've been able to work with every beauty brand under the sun, like a L'Oreal commercial to a Samsung ad that aired during the Golden Globes, and just any beauty brand I could have dreamt of.Deepica:I also realized there's plenty of people out there that deserve the shot to also do that, and there shouldn't just be one of me. There is not just one white girl on the campaign, why shouldn't there be more brown girls in the campaign, more black girls in the campaign? That experience as an influencer is what led me to launching LIVE TINTED as a community platform prior to launching the actual product itself. I didn't plan for that, again, being a community brand wasn't a thing growing up either, but it was lived in experience that truly inspired the idea that, before this launches with a physical product, let's create this united community where they dictate our future decisions.Deepica:And really, for me, honestly, I was craving a home where people were talking about things in the beauty industry that was not a thing, heavy topics like colorism. But then, other topics like facial hair, and things that you just didn't say. And so, we created this almost like collective home where every day we were just posting about faces that I felt like you didn't traditionally see being shown in campaigns. And it just started to organically grow into this very, very engaged community, which then at a point, I was like, "Let's create products for them, it's time." And that's kind of what led to our first product launch in may of 2019.Stephanie:Yeah. We had a really cool company on... Food52, same thing, they build up a huge community first, and then, afterwards, she was like, "Oh, it was only right to then start creating products to service that community." But my biggest question is always like, how did you build that community? How did you transfer the audience from TV to then go into your community? Or from Instagram, or YouTube, or wherever you were, how did you pull them in and get them engaging in a way where you're like, "They're here for the long haul and now I can move on to phase two of a product?"Deepica:Yeah, no, it's a good question. I think for me, I feel very grateful that those three years as an influencer, I created a community of people who felt very connected to me, because again, there wasn't a lot of brown girls doing this. And so, I felt like they would be ride or die for anything I put out into the world. But that is, to me, a huge responsibility, and it was like, "Okay, so now, if I create this brand, I don't want it to be about me, I want it to be about something so much bigger than myself."Deepica:So, if I had just launched it, which a lot of investors in the beginning were saying to me like, "Why do you have to create this community first and spend money on creating content as a community platform and things? You already have a following, create a product, show proof of concept, and build it out." I just didn't listen, and I felt really strongly that LIVE TINTED was bigger than my own identity, it was about a larger multicultural group of individuals coming together and finding common ground in industry where I felt like people were so divisive.Deepica:And so, I really wanted to kind of bridge that gap and create a really powerful, I think, warm home for people. Which, I think, a lot of brands are saying they're doing now, and it's awesome, right? I'm not hating, I think it's all for the greater good. But people are smart, and they can understand when some people are being performative versus not. And I feel very grateful that since day one, we've had values and core beliefs that we've... Of course, they evolve, but the core belief around diversity and inclusion is the pillar that has stood strong since the beginning.Deepica:And so, for me, on an actual tactical level, the first 20,000 followers, I would say, came directly from my following, from... I remember before we even launched it, I was trying to find photos of deeper skin brown women online, and it was virtually impossible. I was just searching and the team was searching, and I was like, "You know what? Let's use the power of social media." And I just posted on my Instagram, "I'm working on a project on stories, if you see any deeper skin melanated brown women, use #livetinted." I'm not even kidding, within minutes, the #livetinted was flooded with just tags. It was just like this community of women who have been thriving to be seen. They are just craving for this industry, who has neglected them, to pay attention to them.Deepica:So, when you ask, how I did it, sure, my following definitely helped do it, but what really did it was that there was just a natural need. These people didn't have another home, and they were excited to finally have it. And so, I also think that it grew from just being a South Asian Brown collective to being much larger. Because again, I talked about topics that were very specific to me and my life. I didn't force it and try to speak to something that I didn't know personally. And with that, I recognized colorism is not an issue in just the South Asian community. To be honest, I'm learning so much as we build this brand that... I had no idea, this is something that so many different cultural backgrounds face around the world.Deepica:And that actually, excited me, because I realized that there is an opportunity to create a brand with pillars that, like I said, unite people from all different cultural backgrounds rather than divide. And so, it just organically grew from there, just by talking about things that I lived in and experienced in my life.Stephanie:Yeah. That's very cool. So, how many people are in your community now?Deepica:Well, it's a tricky number, because I say 600,000 because I include my community as well. Because quite honestly, my whole brand has shifted to just LIVE TINTED stuff, Which I love. Yeah, we're a little over 600,000.Stephanie:Cool. And how do you think about keeping them engaged on the different channels? What are you doing now that's maybe different than when you started out in what? 2015, 2017?Deepica:I mean, yeah, because my brand started in 2015, and then LIVE TINTED started in 2018. But you have to evolve with the times. Perfect example is, hello, TikTok.Stephanie:Yeah. Actually, my favorite influencer is an Indian girl on there with her dad.Deepica:Oh yeah, she's amazing. I love her.Stephanie:What's her name?Deepica:Sheena? Is it Sheena? It's starts with an S.Stephanie:Yeah. She's so funny. But you never see her dad, it's always just his responses to things that she's doing. I've never seen her dad anyways in any of her videos. But she's my favorite. She's hilarious.Deepica:I'm obsessed with her. And yeah, I feel like there's this understood brown community bond where you're rooting for each other, because it's like, so many of us were told to be doctors and go down this traditional path. Yeah. One of my goals for the brand is to spotlight not your traditional beauty influencers, but people like her who are just creative creators. I think there's this incredible creative community that I've come across just from building LIVE TINTED that deserves so much spotlight. We have big plans to only continue to spotlight them in a bigger way as the brand continues to grow, Which I'm excited about. What was your question, again?Stephanie:[inaudible] Yeah. Okay. So, [inaudible] I like to derail things every once in a while, but back to saying... You said you had to change with the times, from what you used to do to what you do now, and you said, of course, TikTok, what are you doing today to keep your audience engaged? And how do you think about treating the different platforms different, [crosstalk] people right now are connecting with them best?Deepica:Well, I think, first and foremost, I don't try to pretend like I know something that I don't know. And so, luckily, at this stage in the business, bringing in an intern that's in college that can do TikTok for us, because I'm like, "Wait, what is this dance move? What's going on?" So, I think hiring subject matter experts is something that I feel like, finally, oh my gosh, because I've been just doing everything for the longest time that now, it's like, let's hire for people to do what they're good at.Deepica:But of course, you have to have a pulse and know what to even hire for, right? It's like, am I looking for an email expert? You have an X amount of budget, if you're going to focus in on email versus... Social versus paid versus all these other marketing levers, you know what makes sense? For example, for us, influencer is such a critical part of the business, because a lot of them are my personal relationships, but we need to continue to grow that network to the people... Just like the girl you just mentioned, there's a whole community of people that are continuing to create and build every year, and so, for me, it's about staying on the pulse and making sure you feel comfortable evolving with the times.Deepica:Facebook is still a powerful, powerful sales channel, for sure. And so, we do need to be relevant on there. But if you're a small team, and you have to pick and choose your efforts, for us, it's been deprioritized, and eventually, we'll get back there. But I'm way excited about LIVE TINTED impacting the next generation and helping them be a more tinted future, where everyone sees beyond the hues of their skin.Deepica:And so, I get really excited about tapping into a younger audience because they are the future of this entire industry, than going towards maybe an older audience. So, these to me, are just the little things you have to keep your mind on, what is your goals? What is the audience you think that you can really tap into? And what are they doing? And then, you decide your marketing leverage based on that.Stephanie:Yup. So, how are you thinking about tapping into TikTok then? I mean, you're mentioning partnering with an influencer who isn't a beauty influencer, but could still probably drive results. And I know earlier you said influencers, and you kind of cringed too in thinking about that. So, tell me a bit about, how do you partner with them? Does it work? How do you make sure that it works? All the details behind them.Deepica:Yeah. I cringed because I feel like the word influencer has been so like... It's been created into this like comedic relief for people, and I think that's what makes me cringe. But one thing that I feel really, really strongly about, is the value of these creators. I think of them as creatives that are just really changing the landscape of marketing. And I think that it's just the word influencer used to really make me cringe because I felt like it wasn't respected. And as somebody who went through being an influencer, and I still am an influencer, at the end of the day, [inaudible]... By the way, something people forget is influencers have always existed, they were just called celebrities before.Deepica:The definition is evolving and changing, and it's going to continue to evolve and change. If you have a platform and an audience, you are an influencer, you have an influence of some sort. And I think it's actually a really powerful thing, if you think about it, because it makes you realize, anyone can be an influencer, and it makes people empowered to use their voice. But the part that I get really excited about, like I said earlier, was this creative community, and how we can work with them. The same way I told you, these girls were just wanting to be seen. These creatives are just wanting to be seen, and they've never been given the opportunity to be seen. So, how is it that LIVE TINTED as a brand can tap into these people, and really invest time and effort as an internal team to search for these people, and work with them, and not go against the grain, and go against who everyone else is wanting to work with?Deepica:Listen, we're still a small company, so paid partnerships is something that I can't wait to be able to do. It's like, are you kidding? I went through it, I want to be able to do it for other people. So, we're working on trying to grow those relationships now. So, when we have a full budget in place, we support these, I would say, underdogs, versus going towards the people that everyone else was going to, because that's no fun.Stephanie:Yeah. And I mean, that's a big theme that I'm hearing too, is finding more of the micro-influencers who have a very engaged following, but they might only have a few thousand followers, versus a million, but those few thousand are ready to convert and really buy the products, and do the things that you're doing. How do you go about finding those people? I mean, it seems hard to have to go through TikTok and Instagram, and find people that might not show up on your feed right away, if you are kind of searching through all that.Deepica:Well, there's a lot of cool tools now that we've actually just invested in, which... Honestly, for me, my plan was to do it the old school way, of just investing the time, finding people, and I think, that to me, was the way to go, but there's supplemental tools, like there's this new platform... I sure don't know if it's new, it's new for us, called GRIN. And it's a way to manage your influencer partnerships and relationships, so you can actually have data and analytics to back up why you're doing certain decisions. And it's like, traditionally, in PR, you send products out, you hope somebody posts about it, who knows if they do? Tracking that is really... It's just a lot, so you need to have the manpower to be able to do it.Deepica:And now there's these tools in place that make it a little bit more scalable, which is really great. But I don't think anything can beat the just human aspect of finding a gem of a person and saying, "This is who I want to grow with." And I now, luckily, now that there's a team in place, I can spend my time doing those things, because, first of all, I truly believe that is the special sauce that comes from a brand, is those little efforts you put in that take time, that really set you apart from the others out there. I don't want to be the person who partners with the biggest TikToker, and not just because of the financial reason, which I think... I don't want to speak for other people, but I think a lot of times, the theme is to go to micro or nano influencers because of budget reasons. And to me, it's really exciting that they're untapped, and have a voice, that they're... You just want to continue to empower that voice, I guess.Stephanie:Yep. Yeah. I love that. So, how do you think about strategic partnerships, or when it comes to when you're getting investors? I mean, I'm thinking, okay, you have Bobbi Brown who is very big in the makeup space, what did that look like? Did you have that in mind when you partnered with her, like, "Oh, maybe you can kind of showcase my line along with your brand?" How does that work? And how did you think about picking strategic investors instead of just going with the first person who might give you money?Deepica:Yeah. That's actually exactly what happened too. So, I learned so much through my fundraising process, so it was my first time doing it, and what I came out of it realizing was, nothing is more valuable than experience, and that includes a cheque. I think I was taking people's cheque, but really, what I was taking was their experience, that's what I wanted to learn from.Deepica:And so, I had a couple term sheets where it was like one large cheque from one VC... Which, by the way, that whole process is a whole thing in itself. But I feel grateful to say that... I actually don't feel like I had as much trouble being a woman of color getting investors on board as much as I think I've heard a lot of my other girlfriends who are women of color, specifically, black women, which is just all sorts of messed up in its own, that... I feel very, honestly, grateful that I didn't go through that, but I also think it's really messed up that I didn't go through that as much. But that process has taught me so much in what I want to do in my future of... There's so much I want LIVE TINTED to do to help other women who want to create their own brands. But when I went through that process, I was like, "Wow, I really don't want one person this early in my business to dictate my decision-making."Stephanie:Yup.Deepica:You're learning so much in the beginning, and the last thing you want is for someone who knows nothing about your business, who just gave you a cheque, to say, "You need to go into this retailer, or you need to do this partnership, or grow this, or hire this person." So, instead, what I did was tap into a network of people who I worked my off to build my entire career, and tell them, "I'm launching my own brand, and you've been somebody who has been a mentor in my life in some capacity." And really positioned it as an opportunity to be a part of the growth of what I'm building. And I feel very confident about that. I still feel that way. I know and I feel very competent about what I'm building, and what the impact it's going to have on the world.Deepica:And so, I went to all of these mentors or just advisors in my life, and they put in more angel cheques, strategic angel cheques, really, just to get their advice. I'm learning from their mistakes. Andy Dunn from Bonobos, the other day, I sent my annual investor update, and he was like, "Just continue to focus on profitability, don't overspend on marketing, learn from my mistakes." I'm learning from all of their mistakes. Payal Kadakia from ClassPass, she would say, "Focus on your why, don't ever get distracted from the why." And Bobbi Brown, she was the first to tell me, "Go on a motherfucking date." That's what she told me to do. She literally, told me to go on it, and she used that word. So, that's why I said that, I apologize [crosstalk].Stephanie:That's okay.Deepica:But that's Bobbi for you. She is such a dope woman. She is no BS. She told me, she was like, "At the end of the day, you will succeed because that's who you are, but you don't want to look back and wonder, what was it all for if you don't have someone to share it with?" And so, maybe that's a part of the reason I came back to Texas, and I'm kind of taking a step back and zooming in on things. But they all give me different advice for their own nuggets of what they went through. And Hayley Barna from Birchbox, is now a partner at First Round Capital, she put in a personal cheque, and I feel like I could always call her to ask her about fundraising advice, because they've obviously raised so much money.Deepica:It's just truly invaluable to be able to talk to people who've gone through the mistakes and the wringer to say, "I'm thinking about [inaudible]..." I'll give you an example right now. Food52, I love what they're doing. You mentioned them earlier, I love what they're doing. I love the idea of a collective ecommerce shop where you're creating content to commerce. I think it's really smart. And I've gotten distracted in the past of wanting LIVE TINTED to also be that as a collective home for inclusive beauty. I wanted to create the next sephora.com that truly zoomed in and focused in on, you won't be on our site unless you are caring about inclusivity. That doesn't mean you have to be a POC owned brand, we will absolutely prioritize it more than most people do, but I had this vision.Deepica:And at the end of the day, I think the biggest, hardest thing for founders to remember is to stay focused, eye on the prize, and I think... That doesn't mean I don't want to still do it one day, but we have way too much momentum happening as a singular brand that I think I just have to stay focused. And these kinds of founders in my life, if I called them, and I'm like, "But what if we, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah." They will all pull me back and say, "All in good time, young grasshopper." [crosstalk].Stephanie:That's awesome. And I mean, that is the time when a lot of founders do kind of want to start seeing profit, want to go big, want to experiment a bunch of different areas, and I think that's really smart. And I also love Bobbi Brown's advice too. I mean, I love the personal aspect when you find people like that. Deepica:Another thing, on the Bobbi Brown thing, her specifically, we met through the DM.Stephanie:That's great.Deepica:Yeah. You can connect with anyone in the world, you have no clue what the power of social media... There's so much negative that comes with it, but there's so much positive. And I remember on my launch day, I was in New York City doing a ton of press, and I went to Jersey to meet with Bobbi Brown in person, and she was like, "Wait, your launch day is today, and you're here?" And I was like, "Yeah, you're Bobbi Brown." [crosstalk].Stephanie:I'm here.Deepica:Yes, of course, I'm here. Because to me, she was doing inclusive beauty before inclusive beauty was inclusive beauty. And as a Jewish woman who grew up in New York, I just find it to be so impressive that she recognized that... She sees it as like... Obviously, I care about making sure that everyone feels represented, that's how she sees it, and I feel like I wanted to learn from that person. I want to create my own Bobbi Brown cosmetics one day, and I feel like with her guidance, I'm well on my way.Stephanie:Yeah. That's cool. So, I mean, you have a lot of good mentors and investors. I mean, Andy Dunn is another good one. He actually was our first investor in our company too-Deepica:Oh, wow.Stephanie:[inaudible]. So, good people you got there. What is something that they're guiding you on right now for 2021? How are they kind of... I mean, Andy has Walmart, but he got to look at... He has a lot of things that he can see around ecommerce at Walmart. What are people like that saying right now? Like, "Hey, Deepica, you need to start preparing for this. Or we're seeing this shift at our company, so maybe you need to kind of pivot, or adjust, or do something different to be ready for this new world." Anything high level like that?Deepica:I think the biggest theme and general advice, is slow and steady growth for the win. And that's very different from what I was told when I was first fundraising in 2018, it was all about the next billion dollar unicorn company. And I have a couple of people who were unicorn companies, Payal Kadakia as an investor, and it's like, they are all also advising me like, "Just don't get caught up in the noise, don't get caught up in the quick turnaround story." And the more I'm seeing what's happening in this bubble, that's kind of bursting, it's like, "I'm so happy that we didn't take on a ton of funding, we're growing slow." And I'm going through the fundraising process right now for our Series A, and the reality is that we don't need to fundraise right now. It's this back and forth of like, we're doing really well and we can go really slow.Deepica:But at the same time, like you said, Andy is with Walmart, and one thing we're exploring right now is retail partnerships. And so, one thing that I think is very apparent now is, it's a very different ecommerce and D2C climate than it was five years ago, as we know. And I think the idea of being omni-channel, it's not an option. We have to be omni-channel to also beyond just like the business and the metrics, because myself being, again, that 16 year old girl who dreamt of having her own beauty brand, it's about impact too. And I want my physical products to be able to be touched and held by people who are in store. And again, go down those beauty aisles and actually see yourself represented. And I feel like we're the brand that needs to do that in a big way.Stephanie:Yes. Beauty feels hard to me though from ecommerce. I mean, I'm just thinking about... I went to Tarte, which is of course, a beauty website, and I was ordering things on there, and it still feels so hard to figure out what you need to buy based on your skin tone. And it's asking me all these crazy questions, which you're probably like, "Yeah, those are obvious ones." Like, do you have a pink with a yellow undertone there?Deepica:Undertone.Stephanie:I'm like, "I..." And it literally has 50 options, and I'm like, "I don't know, am I pink? Am I yellow? Am I green? I'm not really sure." So, beauty feels hard. I mean, I know obviously, being in retail, being in person is important, but during this time right now, where that's been a little bit harder, how did you think about adapting your ecommerce experience in a way that people could know what they wanted, or what was meant for their skin? It just feels so hard.Deepica:And it is really hard. That's totally true. We're actually going through a site revamp right now, and it's all going to focus on community, which I know is such a buzz word. But the best thing we can do is tap into all these people who, again, have been just dying to be seen and be featured. And they're not like the person with all this following, whatever, this massive following. And to me, what we can do is... The best marketing tool we have is them, and see them, the product, have them create the content, have them be the things we feature on our website, so people like you can go directly to the site and see themselves and say, "Oh, well, I look like her." It just helps.Deepica:I think Rent the Runway is the first example I saw of a company that... I remember shopping it and picking a dress, because I saw girls who had my body type, and I was like, "Oh, well, she..." All the reviews, I think it was [inaudible] that they used on their website that is really great customer review experience. And I remember when we created livetinted.com, I wanted to use [inaudible]. So, we do for our review system, because I wanted it to feel really real, a yelp kind of situation where you're truly feeling like you trust that person telling you which product works for you.Deepica:So, it's tough, but there's tools and ways to make it better. And I think just leaning into people and humans, and having them be a part of the experience, and creating a really strong customer service experience so they want to meet that review, is all important.Stephanie:Yeah, that's great. I also think that technology is evolving to a place now where... You should be able to have your face in front of your camera, and take a picture, and then be like, "Here's exactly what would go best with your skin tone or something."Deepica:It's getting there, and there's apps and stuff too where you can do that, but lighting is such a factor. We're getting there, but with beauty, it is tricky. And I think all the tools I've seen this far, none of them have worked for me. That was one of the business ideas I wanted to do in college, I was like, "It's just too hard to shop for beauty online." We'll get there though.Stephanie:Yep, I think so, too. All right. So, let's shift over to the lightning round. The lightning round is brought to you by Salesforce Commerce Cloud. This is where I'm going to ask you a question, and you have a minute or less to answer. Are you ready?Deepica:Yeah, sure. Okay.Stephanie:All right. What one thing will have the biggest impact on ecommerce in the next year?Deepica:I would say new ways of leaning into people and community. Yeah. I just said that, but we're currently revamping our ecommerce site, and the biggest thing we're focusing it on is people and experience, and tapping into the human aspect of what people are looking for when they're buying something, which is as emotional as a color corrector to solve their dark circle issues. And so, I think if you continue to focus in on people, community, how they can drive purchase decisions, you'll thrive in the ecommerce world, especially in beauty where things are very... You want to see yourself reflected.Stephanie:Yep. I love that. What's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?Deepica:Wow. Is this personal or business? I mean-Stephanie:Whatever comes to mind, whatever you want.Deepica:This is the first thing that comes to mind, because we just talked about it. You should always value every person you meet in life, because you never know where it's going to lead, and come back, and connect, and help you in the future because... I didn't work directly with Hayley at Birchbox, but when I quit my job for her to... She introduced me to XFactor Ventures, which is our first VC that came on board, that gave us our first cheque, which then created a ripple effect that made other people think we were legit, that created another ripple effect. And I think that confidence in somebody who only... I worked with her but at a very bird's eye view and stuff, and so it's kind of like... I'm so grateful for that. And not just her, just generally, I think, when I think about the people who have taken the bet on me, I think it really makes me feel like I'm here for a reason, and I have shit to get done.Stephanie:Yep. That's great. What ecommerce tool are you most excited about right now?Deepica:Right now, it's GRIN, that's the one that we're literally doing trainings on right now. We're really trying to optimize. I think the influencer partnership space is something everyone's trying to figure out and find a way to scale, and I'm hoping and hopeful that GRIN can help us do that.Stephanie:Yeah. Wow, that's awesome. We will check that out also. If you were to have a podcast, what would it be about? And who would your first guest be?Deepica:Well, I'm working on getting this started, but it's going to be... It will be called Hue To Know, which was... Instead of [inaudible] To Know, Hue To Know.Stephanie:Yeah. I like that. That's cute.Deepica:And we had a whole video series for LIVE TINTED when we were just a community platform, where we interviewed people, they came on, and they talked about their identity and culture, and it was all these... To me, they were dope creatives, again, people that you should know about that you may not, like a black Muslim rapper, or a gender nonconforming South Asian artist. And these people who were like, "I'm going against the grain and creating a path for myself, and living tinted." That's really, to me, what that means, and what LIVE TINTED stands for. So, I want to bring them on as a guest, and create it into a podcast form. And my first dream guest would be Meghan Markle, because I think she's incredible.Stephanie:That sounds great. Well, if you need help getting off the ground, you know who to call.Deepica:Great. Okay. Cool. Yeah.Stephanie:All right. And then, the last one, what is your favorite business book where you often go back and think about it, or read quotes from it, or whatever it may be?Deepica:Man, I wish I had it so I could show it to you right now. This was a pile recommendation. It's called Financial-something, Financial Terms... Financial... I'm going to have to find it and send it to you.Stephanie:[crosstalk].Deepica:Yeah. But she told me... Before you go into fundraising process, as a person who's never done it before, there's a lot of terms that get thrown around, like convertible notes, and cap tables, and all this stuff. I didn't know what I was doing, so she was like, "It's going to feel like you're reading a dictionary, and it's going to be dense, but you want to be able to walk into those meetings with full confidence, and I highly recommend that you read it." And so, I have to look for the book and find the name. There's a lot of different terms in there, so I'm blanking on the title itself.Stephanie:Yeah. I think there's a good book that it reminds me of called Venture Deals by... I think it's Brad Feld-Deepica:That's what it was.Stephanie:Oh, is that what it is?Deepica:Damn it, it was Venture Deals. You're right. Yes. Yes.Stephanie:Okay. Well, [inaudible] because I'm like, "That's a good one too." Where I remember-Deepica:That was it.Stephanie:... when we were thinking about raising money, I'm like, "All these terms, I don't know what they are. Pre-money, post money, cap table. Oh my God, what are we talking about?" So, that's a good book for anyone raising money right now.Deepica:That was it. Mm-hmm (affirmative).Stephanie:Awesome. Well, thanks so much-Deepica:[crosstalk] But it's a good book, but yeah.Stephanie:Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a good book. And then, after you read it, you're like, "Okay, I'm done with that for a while." Awesome. Well, thank you so much for joining the show. It was so fun having you on. Where can people find out more about you and your work?Deepica:Well, I'm obviously, going to plug LIVE TINTED first. LIVE TINTED is L-I-V-E T-I-N-T-E-D, livetinted.com. @livetinted all on social. And then, you can also follow me at @deepica, D-E-E-P-I-C-A on all social outlets.Stephanie:Amazing. Thanks so much.Deepica:Thank you for having me.

To Know the Hope, the Riches, and the Power - Ephesians 1:15-19 Preached to Galveston Bible Church on January 10, 2021 by Teaching Pastor Jason Dohring. https://www.galvestonbible.org https://www.facebook.com/galvestonbible

I will share with you my personal path. The six months spent in the hospital with my kid made me very hungry TO KNOW the solution. I didn't take FOREVER as an answer. https://selfdiscoverymedia.com/?p=92951

In the Parable of the Prodigal Son, we find three major players, each with a different orientation toward life: The younger brother who seeks to ESCAPE and INDULGE The older brother who seeks to PERFORM and CONTROL The father who seeks TO KNOW and TO LOVE A true education must promote knowing and loving, not performing or indulging.

Christoffel Golden Jr. with "To Know Thee, the Only True God." | Mary Williams with "To Know and to Be Known of God."

Teacher: Pastor Larry Ecton The post 1 John 2:7-11 – To Know is to Love appeared first on Calvary Denver Downtown.

Pledge and consent are crucial in the experience of knowing. In this episode, Esther Lightcap Meek and I talk about chapter 2 of her book, A Little Manual for Knowing. In that chapter—and in this episode—Esther shows us that if we are to truly know someone or something, then we need to pledge ourselves to that which is yet-to-be-known. We need to pledge ourselves to the “knowing venture” and we need to pledge to be open to—to consent to—the reality of that which we are coming to know.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Esther Lightcap Meek is the Professor of Philosophy at Geneva College and the author of A Little Manual for Knowing.To truly know something or someone, one must “pledge” oneself to that thing or person. Pledge to live life on the terms of the yet-to-be-known. Pledge to do what it takes to know it. Pledge to be ok with it once it reveals itself.In Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard describes what it takes to stalk a muskrat. One must hold still, give up one’s dignity, and wait. Esther says this is covenantal language.Knowing something or someone requires consent. We have to say yes to what or who it truly is. Knowing requires pledge and consent.“All of reality is the consent of God. Everywhere your eye lands, your eye is landing on God’s ‘Yes!’”The opposite of pledge and consent is acedia, commonly known at sloth.Dallas Willard says that if we’re going to love God, we have to consent and say “yes” to ourselves. Saying “yes” to who you are as you are.In the movie, Avatar, one of the characters says to the other, “I see you.” It was an act of ultimate consent.Markus refers to a poem by Madeleine L’Engle, cited in Visions of Vocation by Steve Garber. The poem shows that in marriage we must pledge and consent to who our spouse truly is if we are to truly know them.Esther discusses confirmation bias.In the story of the Road to Emmaus, the disciples were able to let go of a preconception that allowed them then to know Jesus.“Reality, by definition, is God and His stuff.”“All knowing is transformative.”Esther connects the knowing venture to the experience of worship.Esther is beginning a book series called Doorways, in which each volume will connect the knowing venture to a different discipline.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Books:A Little Manual for Knowing, by Esther Lightcap MeekPilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie DillardVisions of Vocation, by Steve GarberThe Hobbit, by J.R.R.

To Know the Love of Christ. In Ephesians 3:19, Paul's prays that we should "know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge". Can you think of anything else that you and I need to know, that would transcend this? Our knowledge of Christ's love should be shared. It should be no secret. "I know the love of Christ, mate, what about you?" and in the knowledge of his cross we find love We consider it an act of supreme love when someone lays down their life for a friend (Romans 5:7). Jesus laid down his life for those who were not his friends, that they might become his friends.

Do Catholics really worship Mary and the saints? This week on "To Know and To Love," I discuss how Catholics approach devotion to the saints, how it is different than the worship we give to God, and throw out some smart sounding theology terms.

In this episode of "To Know and to Love", I discuss how to live a fruitful spiritual life in the current world of social distancing. I'll be answering the questions: "How can I fruitfully participate in Mass virtually?", "What should I be doing during this time of quaratine?" and more!

Pastor Chris teaches a message via Facebook Live titled "To Know or Not to Know"

This is the first installment of a podcast segment called "To Know and To Love". It will be a series of short reflections on different truths of the faith. This week, after a weekend of no public celebrations of Mass, there are many emotions and questions that fill our minds. In this episode of "To Know and To Love", I consider the most pressing question this reality brings up: What does it mean for me that I can't go to Mass on Sunday? Is there something God still has for me?

Too often class discussions follow a call-and-response format rather than producing true dialogue. From chalk talks (where students respond to the ideas they wrote on the board) to designated facilitators (where students practice the art of crafting a conversation), this episode offers eight practical ways to help turn discussions into conversations where students not only talk but also reflect, listen, and respond.

Pastor Tyler 9-29-19 (To Know is to Be)

Whatever we may be experiencing, the Knowing of our experience is always present.  To Know is to Be, and to Be is to Know.  The Knowing that is present right here and now is the same Knowing present in every moment of life.  This Knowing is our true and real Being.

To Know and Be Known! (Matthew 16:13-17) 1. How did we come to know God? 2. How do we know God knows us? Scriptures used: [1Co 13:12 NASB] God's relational knowledge: [Gen 18:19 NASB] [Exo 33:12-13 NASB] 12 Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up this people!' But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.' 13 "Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people." [2Sa 7:20 NASB] [Psa 139:1-7 NASB] [Jeremiah 1:5 NASB] [Amos 3:2 NASB] Eternal Implications: [Mat 7:22-23 NASB] 22 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ [Jhn 5:39-42 NASB] This week… To Know God: [Mat 16:13-17 NASB] 13 Now, when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14 And they said, "Some [say] John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." 15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona because flesh and blood did not reveal [this] to you, but My Father who is in heaven. We came to know God through the revelation of the Gospel… Order of Salvation: [Eph 1:13-14 NASB] 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of [God's own] possession, to the praise of His glory. [Rom 1:16 NASB] [Eph 2:8-9 NASB] [Rom 4:5, 16 NASB] [Rom 10:17 NASB] Conclusion: We came to know God through the revelation of the Gospel. Although proclaimed through flesh and blood, this revelation was from the Father. This is why the great commission is so important. This is why Romans 10:4 speaks of the blessedness of the person who brings this good news. This is also why the Scriptures teach us that we’ve been given the ministry of reconciliation. [2Co 5:17-21 NASB]

So as Karisma Kapoor turns 44 years old, we bring to you her exclusive interview where she talks about coming into Bollywood and how her grand father Raj Kapoor played a huge inspiration in her life. To Know more check out the interview.

Today, you’ll learn what time it is to Know and have more knowledge than ever before! To Know is to grow!

We’re talking about the 340B Program with Karen White, the CEO of Missouri Highlands Healthcare, Dennis Shelby, the CEO of Wilson Medical Center, and Austin Gillard, CEO of Clay County Medical Center.  Karen, Dennis and Austin were 2018-2019 Rural Health Fellows with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA), where they focused on rural preparedness, culminating in a Policy Paper presented to and adapted by the NRHA Rural Health Congress.   “In our study, it was determined that 55% of rural hospitals would close if it were not for the 340B Program.”   Dennis Shelby has worked in healthcare for 40 years.  He began his career as a medical social worker and for the last 26 years, has held various hospital CEO positions.  His journey involved stents in top leadership positions in psychiatric, rehabilitation and rural hospitals.  He believes healthcare is a calling and ministry.  He received the 2014 Custom Learning System “Inspiring Administrator” Award and was the 2016 Founders Award recipient for that same organization for over 30 years of committed leadership in the healthcare field.  He is the 2015, 2016 and 2017 Becker’s “50 Rural Hospital CEO’s To Know.”  In 2018 he received the Distinguished Alumni Award for his leadership in healthcare from Hope International University.  He and his wife of 44 years, Judy, have two amazing daughters and 4 grandchildren.  “We have to be strong proponents for each other. We cannot be silos.”  Karen R. White joined Missouri Highlands Health Care, a Federally Qualified Health Center, in March 2009 as the Chief Financial Officer.  Through her drive, integrity and work ethic, she provided financial leadership, growing the organization into a sustainable & viable health care provider while overcoming significant financial challenges. In October 2014, she furthered her passion for community health by stepping into the CEO position for Missouri Highlands.  Since that time, she has led the organization through transformation & growth, embracing the challenges of providing primary care in seven rural counties in the southern Missouri Ozarks region. Ms. White has continually sought unique care delivery options to better serve the rural population and while focusing on breaking down existing silos in providing care across the continuum of care community.    White, a certified public accountant (CPA), obtained her Bachelors of Applied Science in Administration with concentration in Marketing and Management from Southwest Baptist University in 1994 and her Masters in Accountancy from Missouri State University in 2007. During and after college she worked in healthcare, banking, retail, management and Social Services prior to obtaining her CPA license and working in public accounting.   Away from work she enjoys time with her 6-year-old daughter, Maive, floating the crystal clear waters of the Current River and roaming the hills of the Ozarks on her Harley-Davidson motorcycle. White’s parents are credited with instilling in her a strong work ethic, drive to succeed and commitment to serving others. “Growing up, my parents served as strong role models of integrity and faith. They never compromised their message of service, hard work and education as the path to success. This coupled with my desire to not have to feed 250 head of cattle for the rest of my life drove me to succeed.”  “340B is vital for our rural to stay viable…”   Austin Gillard was raised in Overland Park, Kansas. He received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Kansas and received a master’s degree in Healthcare Administration from the University of Missouri.  Austin’s background in healthcare started in 2008 as a physician recruiter. In 2011, Austin moved into a management role and was responsible for six hospital emergency departments in Kansas and Missouri. In early 2013, Austin developed a ‘rural track administrative fellowship’ and moved to Pratt, Kansas, to work under the CEO of Pratt Regional Medical Center as an Administrative Fellow. In late 2013, Austin was given to opportunity to become the CEO of Genoa Medical Facilities (GMF), located in Genoa, Nebraska. In 2015, Austin became the CEO of Clay County Medical Center (CCMC), located in Clay Center, Kansas. CCMC is a 25 bed CAH with three RHC’s and 300 employees.   FREE BOOK if you write a review!  I'd love to hear from you! If you would take the time to write a review, I'd appreciate it so much that I will give you a free book in return.  To leave a review, visit RHLR on iTunes, click “Listen in iTunes,” then click “Ratings and Reviews,” then “Write a Review.”  If you want to write a review from your iPhone, simply open your podcast app, search for Rural Health Leadership Radio, then tap on “Subscribe.”  If you’re already a subscriber, you’ve already done this.  Next, tap on the “Library” icon at the bottom of your screen, select “Rural Health Leadership Radio,” and once that opens, scroll to the bottom where you will see where you can complete a rating and write a review.  Once you’ve done that, send me an email to bill@billauxier.com, and we’ll coordinate sending you a free copy of What Rural Health Leaders Are Saying.  What Rural Health Leaders Are Saying is a summary of the inaugural year of Rural Health Leadership Radio, filled with a collection of ideas and best practices from exceptional rural health leaders for rural health leaders.  And it’s yours for free, just for writing a review on Rural Health Leadership Radio.  Thank you!

  Summary In this episode of the Dream Achievers Podcast, I will talk about the reason why everyone faces challenges and why we suffer. I will talk about strength as a key factor for overcoming challenges and how you can develop yourself to become spiritually strong which is the ultimate level of strength. Hellen Keller said: "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." So my answer to the question "Why are most people suffering?" is that because they are not strong enough! What does come to your mind when I say strong? Physical strength, emotional strength, mental strength, or spiritual strength? If we want to overcome the challenges and transform suffering to blessing, we need to shift our focus from physical strength to spiritual strength. Being spiritually strong is key to ultimate success. Spiritual strength helps us overcome all challenges. As Thomas Paine said: "The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection." When you develop spiritual strength, you go beyond emotional and mental strengths. You connect with the higher power, God. You believe that everything is there for a reason. Here is my ultimate recipe: Become detached, let go of your expectations especially in tough times. Know yourself as a soul and connect with God. When faced with challenges, do your best and leave the rest to God. This is called to be in God’s grace. To have full faith. To KNOW that everything will be all right.

This is a series of weekly half-hour Bible studies on the book of Leviticus that Disciple Dojo founder, JM Smith leads at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Charlotte, NC (where the owner is gracious enough to provide both the space and the lunch!). The purpose of the study is to walk through books of the Bible chapter-by-chapter in order to build a solid Biblical foundational worldview and to be challenged by the ancient text in our modern lives. Each week is recorded and video of each session is available at www.youtube.com/user/discipledojo/videos Copy for "To Know and Be Known" DVD - When it comes to sexual ethics discussions there often seems to be either a "Separation of Church and Sex" where one's sexual behavior has little bearing on one's spirituality, or a culture of asceticism based more on concepts of Greco-Roman Dualism than on the Gospel of Jesus. In this DVD study, we seek to recapture the beautiful balance found in Scripture between legalistic and libertine approaches to human sexuality and sexual ethics. Rather than focusing on WHAT Christians should think about sex, this course focuses on equipping Christians in HOW to think about sex. Challenging myths and urban legends found within both Church and Culture, "To Know and Be Known" is an honest, candid, and unflinching overview of how our sexuality relations to our spirituality as men and women created in the Image of God.

Psalm 139 "To Know and Be Known" [08.28.2016] by Christ Central Durham

Proverbs is more than just a bunch of one-liners to be thrown nonchalantly around our lives. God has a specific purpose, audience, and foundation in mind for the book and in reading it we should ask ourselves where our wise beginnings are.

To Know and To Go, Part II by Emmanuel English Church

To Know and To Go, Part 1 || Hannah Lau by Emmanuel English Church

To Know & Be Known Part 4: Sex in the (Ancient) City When it comes to sexual ethics, the people of God (in both testaments) have always been called to be peculiar. To be different. To be Holy. So what does that look like for a follower of Jesus living in a post-Christendom, secular, sex-saturated society? How should Christians approach topics like premarital sex or same-sex marriage? How do we form our ethic in ways that engage with our surrounding culture rather than withdraw from it and circle the wagons in our protected Christian bubbles? These topics and more are discussed in this final session. The workbook for this course is available as a PDF download at http://jmsmith.org/store/free-downloads

To Know and Be Known Part 3: Love, Lust & Sexual Fantasy Last session we learned that Scripture doesn't REJECT sexual fantasy, it REDEEMS it. So what does that mean for us today? In a world soaked in sexuality, where lust is little more than another marketing tool, how can God's people reclaim and redeem sexuality...without giving in to sinful "lust"? And what about things like fantasy and masturbation?? Yep! We talk about all that as well in this session!

To Know and Be Known - Forming a Thoughtful Christian Sexual Ethic Part 2: Hot Bible Sex! Did you know there is an entire book of the Bible dedicated to celebrating steamy, passionate, overwhelming sexual intimacy?! Most people don't. But there totally is. And it's AMAZING!!

To Know and Be Known - Forming a Thoughtful Christian Sexual Ethic Part 1: The Unfortunate Separation of Church & Sex We begin this 4 week study by looking at how there came to be such a lack of honest and frank discussion of sex and sexuality, particularly as being a positive thing, among Christians over the centuries. Where did this 'separation of church and sex' come from and how does it affect the way churches today approach the topic of sexuality? Taking our cue from Jesus himself, we begin where God begins when it comes to sexual relationships: in the Garden. How were man and woman created in terms of their sexuality? How do the events of Genesis 3 play into that calling? How do those who follow Jesus today approach sexuality, which is at the very core of who we are as humankind created in the Image of God? What do we do with the idea of divorce in light of Jesus' teachings? These are just a few of the points we discuss in this first week of To Know and Be Known. Stay tuned for part 2! ***To download the free PDF workbook from this course, head to JMSmith.org/store/free-downloads

Welcome to Freedom Church! Welcome to the last installment of this wonderful series: Be Rich.  This series really has little to do with money and more to do with our mind set as a steward of all of God's resources He has given to us. Money is just part of those resources.   The gifts He's given to us… like our children… our spouse… jobs…friendships… the talents… are you living for yourself or others? Title: Rich Towards God Our theme passage and series comes from this incredible instruction from Paul to Timothy here in… (1 Timothy 6:17-19)(NIV) Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. -Present Word…   why would he say that?  It's because there is another world we live in.  Another mind-set that says: I want it all!  NOW!  Earthly mindset.. when there is another world to live by.  -In this way…. Meaning… when you have an eternal mindset- being rich toward others while you're here knowing you are going to a better place… you'll unlock life that is truly life.  Pastor Ryan did a great job helping us understand that rich doesn't mean just financial.  Rich means….More than you need. That's a different mindset.   This world says… get more for yourself…. Eternal mindset says…. God has blessed me with more than I need…. so I will live my life doing my best to make an eternal difference
in the life of others. So…. I want to challenge you to not just leave here today and say…. Yea… I'm rich, I want to be able to make an eternal difference.   No… all great things that happen, happen when we have a plan… a strategy if you will.  So here's a question for you to ask yourself. What is my giving strategy? Pastor Ryan shared his with us last week.   Here's the thing…. We aren't saying you have to have OUR strategy, we are simply saying….just have one.  Because here's what I know to be true.   If you don't have a strategy for your resources, I promise you, this present world will.  IOW- Your strategy to manage the resources God gives you is your filter. TIME- We want you to work 70 hours a week and be on call during the weekend and you have 3 kids in sports.   That's the job offer…  You have to process that through your FILTER…your strategy of managing the resources God has given you… (your marriage, kids) and make the decision. People who live by this world just jump in and say…YEP!  I'll do it and their family suffers and their marriage falls apart and they get upset at God over it.  Same is true for your money and other resources…. What is your giving strategy? A mindset that is about eternity would have this type of giving strategy: Eternal Giving Strategy: 1. I will intentionally share my stuff. Remember…it's not just money…that's part of it, but your car….your truck to help people move.. your ability to fix things for people like me who know hardly anything about fixing things….. Your house for example…  would you intentionally share your home to have a small group in so that others can grow to become more like Jesus? -The question is… Am I leveraging what I have for eternal purposes? Again…we are talking about an eternal giving strategy….    2. I will intentionally share my time. One of the major problems we have in our PRESENT WORLD is that we do not live with margin. With our money, our stuff…and certainly with our time.  I think more people would give more time to eternal things if they could, but they are stretched too thin as it is.  No margin.   Just like money.  We didn't have a strategy and overcommitted our money, our time in this point… and instead of taking hold of life that is truly life….guess what's happening…. We are letting LIFE take hold of us and we are trying to hold on for the ride.  And it's not fun. So…. Make the decision today friend.  Call time out on the field and say… I will be intentional with my time.   I'm going to reorder my life and be intentional with my time.  (Ephesians 5:11-16)(MSG) Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ. Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! How?  Get on a serving team here… go through growth track and we will help you with your strategy to make the most of your time.  The 3rd part of my strategy is…   3. I will intentionally share Christ.   Here's the thing….   Let's say by some crazy amazing super-hero ability, you knew that your friend had cancer and no one else did.  Would you tell them?  Sure… else, what kind of a friend are you?    Of course….you'd tell them….why?  Because you would want them to know and to do everything they can to try to live.  Please listen to me church.   Every single day….right here in our own community…people are taking their last breath and facing either Heaven or Hell.  You have an ability to know whether or not someone will live forever with Jesus in Heaven or in Hell.   To KNOW this and not share it with your friend would be a crime.  I know…I know the biggest reason is fear.  What will they say? Listen…let the fear of them spending eternity in Hell be greater than the fear of them hurting your feelings for a moment.  To help you in your strategy to share Christ, we make this a place where you can invite your friends.  We aren't going to do anything spooky, kooky or weird but we will give them an invitation to know Jesus every service.  We have invite cards for you today to help you have that discussion with them. It's why we planted this church….. we decided as a family that we would intentionally share Christ and the best way we knew how to do that was to plant a church…. And get this… since we opened the doors… 1, 839 people made a decision to commit or recommit their lives to Jesus.  Why have a strategy?  Because eternity matters.  One of the things I love about scripture is how something written so long ago applies to our lives right here and now.  Jesus knew we would have a tendency to store up for ourselves the resources we are given.  He knew we'd think it was “normal” to save things for later…. So, in Luke, He tells this Parable….this story….and example..which is exactly how we are living now…. (Luke 12:16-19)(NIV) And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' “Then he said, ‘This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I'll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” IOW- he thought he had plenty of time to enjoy it all…if you don't live with eternity in mind…this sounds great.   But look at what God says to him… (Luke 12:20-21)(NIV) “But God said to him, ‘You fool! Not because he was rich, but because he didn't know what to do with his richness.  This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' And look at what Jesus says….this is the point of the story…. Check it out…. “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.” So, because we love you… because we want you to live with eternity in mind, we want you to be rich toward God.  How do I do that?  Being rich towards God means I value: Stewardship over ownership. I'm going to realize that nothing is mine anyway, I'm a steward…a manager of God's.  EVERYTHING I have..not just the 10%, the whole thing… all my “stuff” I manage not based on what I like, but I find out what He likes and try my best to manage it that way.  People over possessions. Why?  Because possessions burn….people last forever.  This is why a portion of what you give today goes to Stella's voice.  What's Stella's voice?  A place that rescues people stuck in sex trafficking and finds a new home for them and help them rehabilitate.  People matter. Here's what I know…this may sting a little but it's true.   We will live one of two ways.  We'll love people and use money or we'll love money and use people. I say we love people and use our money…our resources to invest in what lasts forever. Eternity over temporary. Paul speaks to this again… (Philippians 3:18-20)(NIV) …many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.   Listen…one day He's coming back… it's true…and it will be wonderful to stand before Him and say…. I did my best with what I had to be rich toward God.  How about you?

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of To Know and Acknowledge Jesus the Crucified Messiah in his series entitled Rev The Book. This is lesson number 297 and it focuses on the following verses: I Cor 2:1-6 among others.

Saber, Conocer and Decir in Preterite Past. These three verbs are surely some of the more interesting Spanish verbs because of the additional complications they pose to English speaking students. The fact that Saber and Conocer both mean To Know and yet those ‘knowings’ are most often very different makes...

To Know the Love of Christ Sept 11 - Jason Ashley - Sun Sep 11, 2011 by Balfour Covenant Church

We're dealing with a logical progression here. First, there was "To Dare". Without that, there wouldn't even be any effort. And now, we have "To Know". And the progression from daring to knowing should be readily apparent to one and all. After all, one someone has decided to dare, then it's necessary to know. What is necessary to know? Much! Begin with knowing what you are doing, but there is much more than that which you will want to know. Go into any Wiccan's home (or the home of anyone else whose spiritual path is really alive, for that matter, and you'll probably see a whole lot of books. If you get a chance to meet a well-published author or a major spiritual leader, the thing that such a person is probably most excited to talk about is what they are learning! It's a never-ending process. There's a reason why I say that if anyone tells you that they know "all about" any of the subjects I discuss here, walk away very quickly. There simply is no end to learning - especially here! And here is where you make sure that you stand on firm ground. You'll see what I mean. Blessed Be!

This will be the first of five (at least), subject to interruption by Mass For The Shut Out. And that's fine, we need that too. But this is a good topic to look at betwixt Samhain and Yule. Did you ever wonder why some do so well spiritually, but for others it seems as if Jesus/The Goddess/Whoever just isn't picking up the voicemail messages? Let's take a look at a reason why this might be. So many people complain that, where books are concerned there are so many primers and so few advanced texts, but what is an advanced text but a re-hashing of the primers. And here we go to some of the most basic of basics. Know what's here, and you will be more advanced than most. It is called the "Witches' Pyramid," yet it can be found in any spiritual path where people expect the divine to actually do something in the here and now. Four basic principles: To Dare, To Know, To Will, and To be Silent. We need to explore each one, and we will. Blessed Be!

Reading:  John 14:8-17 (25-27)This is Pentecost Sunday, the birthday of the church. The book of Acts describes this day as a time when the Holy Spirit descended as tongues of fire. What started as a small spark has turned into a roaring fire. Two thousand years later this church lives on because this fire was passed from person to person, generation to generation.  In the Gospel reading from John, Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit will come to his disciples. Because of the Spirit, they will be able to do even greater works than had yet been seen among them.  This is a "Spirited Life" in which God, through His Spirit, is at work to move each of us to go deeper in our love of Jesus, our trust of Jesus and our obedience to Jesus.Basic Focus: The work of the Holy Spirit. To Know:     The Spirit is at work in our lives to unite us to the work of Christ and the will of God.  To Feel:      We are empowered to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ in our world.To Do:      Give our lives in service to people of our generation.
