For author and national Christian speaker Craig Huey, the group "Evangelicals For Harris" is bent on deception. Granted Donald Trump is no angel he says, but at least his policies were pro-life and protected religious freedoms far greater than the Biden/Harris administration. And yet, the left-leaning Evangelicals have launched a major seven-figure ad campaign targeting Evangelicals in swing states through Christian media, Google, TikTok and sites where only Christians will see them. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Huey talks about his book "The Christian Voter: How to Vote For, Not Against Your Values to Transform Culture and Politics", and takes aim at the new campaign and its clever marketing strategy that uses the image and powerhouse preaching of deceased evangelist Billy Graham, to make the point that Trump is unfit to be the leader of the United States. But Huey, who's worked in marketing for decades, says it's a classic misdirect, but one that could have a tremendous impact on the election if you just look at the numbers. According to Huey's research, nearly 7 million Evangelicals in swing states did not vote in 2020. In Michigan, nearly 1.3 million Evangelicals did not vote. Trump lost the state by 154,000. Huey explains that the campaign is not so much about convincing Evangelicals to vote for Harris, as much as it is about convincing enough of them NOT to come out to vote for Trump.

Join Tacey and her special guest, Anthony Coppedge, as they discuss this week's topic of "Fail Often, Be Agile & Transform Culture."  Anthony shares the importance of Business Agility and OKRs to transform cultures. He explains the significance of trends and patterns to drive change forward. To keep us from getting stuck in where you've been and guide you towards creating a path forward. With agile strategies, you mitigate risk and fail often but recover and adapt quickly. Learning from the small risks gets real insight from various outcomes rather than one significant idea. Innovation happens when people think differently. Leadership is a culture where leaders create, facilitate and participate. Culture is not a saying you hang on the wall. It's changing the organization's state for the customer's benefit. "Be more interested in how people are rather than what they can do for you."

In this episode, we react to the recent Jordan Peterson interview of long-time DNA friend Vishal Mangalwadi. Their powerful discussion sheds light on the power of the biblical worldview to transform cultures. The Bible is the source of human dignity, equality, and basic human rights.

Mothers play a huge role in helping their children become leaders. Cultivating values in your children creates individuals with strong beliefs, empowers them to follow their convictions and focuses their eyes on issue-based value systems. My guest Karen Hetzler speaks about shaping children into culture change agents. “There's no higher calling if God has gifted you with children. Seek the Lord about timing when you should be home with them. Life is full of seasons.” Karen shares about her experience of staying home with her children during the early years. God stirred up new dreams in her heart while she prepared for when it would be the appropriate time to allow them to live freely. She envisioned herself transforming the culture by encouraging her children to be difference makers, and to stand firm in their beliefs. “We have an obligation for civil disobedience. Sometimes it's not the right time to stand, sometimes we may need to listen and at other times, we have a moral obligation to stand.”

Friends, we're going there - let's talk about how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy. But first, let's define what the patriarchy is… it's a social system in which men hold primary power and they predominantly hold roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. This affects us all… including men, as well. So surely, there is something better.  My special guest today is Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and they are simplifying how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy. Their work in the world is all about helping folks understand their role in all of this and show us the way to lean into deeper connections, greater understanding, and most importantly, get into relationship with others who are nothing like us.   Here's how.  My special guest today is Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and they are simplifying how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Their take on “cancel culture” - what it is and what it does to shunt productive conversations and true action towards positive change - also, how to create safe spaces for sometimes awkward conversations “Diversity and inclusion” are such buzzwords these days… How can small business owners make positive change in their workplace and company culture that actually will move the needle forward What two questions you need to ask yourself first when considering your own identity and the positive changes you want to see and create in the world next that will transform the culture around you How to get into deeper relationships with people who are different than you and how to move past the fear of getting out of your comfort zone to (actually) do it …and ultimately, learn how the patriarchy is affecting our society in ways that may NOT be seen on the surface… And how to begin to dismantle it, in big or small ways. If you've been listening to The Simplifiers Podcast for awhile now, you know we don't shy away from hard conversations.  And this is not an easy topic to simplify, but one well worth having.  My hope always is to help us all spark new ideas, new questions to ponder around the work table, and to help create positive change in the world. Thank you for tuning in and being open to consider new viewpoints that might be challenging to your current beliefs. We learn together - we grow together… it's time to simplify! Q: Are you ready to transform culture and smash the patriarchy? If yes, this one is for you. It's time to #DoTheThing!

In this episode, David and I dive into the importance of validating your product and business ideas and the best practices on how to do this. We also discuss the role of the Product Leader in building a culture for testing business ideas as the norm, not the exception.   Episode Details: How to Test Business Ideas with David Bland: “What I’ve noticed over time [is that corporations] … get frustrated. They’re like, ‘I’m telling people to experiment and they’re not doing it and I don’t know why.’ … Quite often, it’s [the] actual processes and procedures they hit up against [that] prevent them from doing the thing they want to do.” — David Bland   About David Bland: David J.

Why do stories matter to the innovation process? What values can be instilled in innovators who share stories? How do innovation leaders inspire creators to tell and share their success and failure stories? Steve Rader, deputy director for the Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation at NASA, says storytelling is key to everything he does. He tells us thought-leading organizations will quickly become irrelevant if they don't utilize open innovation tools as the freelance economy grows. Despite the data-backed benefits of open innovation, the idea was not widely embraced when it rolled out. Steve shares with us how storytelling allowed him to gain internal buy-in and create comfort with disruption on an organizational level. Not only did storytelling play a role in motivating individuals to embrace this change, but it inspired a culture of innovative thinking.

But Meeke, welcome back to the podcast. Thanks so much for having me back, Yvette. Yes, I am so thrilled to have you back. We are having a fun discussion about culture and homeschooling and parenting and the word of God and it's I, this is what I love to talk about is so much fun and you are actually going to be part of the homegrown generation family expo tonight, which is when this episode is airing, it will be April 1st at 5:00 PM Pacific time, 8:00 PM Eastern time. Speaker 1: So you guys please join us for that. It's going to be an exciting discussion that we're going to have. It'll be live and it will be available for anyone to watch the live session. So, you can see that at HomegrownGeneration.com you can watch it live on Facebook. If you go to Facebook, find the homegrown generation family expo live event page and you'll be able to take part in that conversation with Meeke and myself. So, so Meeke, welcome back. I'm excited to continue talking about what we've been talking about. At the end of the last podcast we were talking about how God is the final authority and we were talking about parenting and just teaching our kids that it's not our rules that we are enforcing upon our children, but it's really God's authority and just saying, this is what God has for us and we say this on the podcast all the time. Speaker 1: So for those who listen, they know one of the things we tell our girls constantly, and it has been said many times today, today's been one of those days for us. But we tell them all the time that sin causes pain, but obedience brings blessings. And the reason that we want them to obey is because we want them to have a life of blessings and not a life of pain. And, and here's the thing. Life is painful. Oh, obedience doesn't mean you're not going to have any pain in your life at all because we live in a sinful, fallen world, but it's a different kind of pain than the pain that you choose for yourself because of your own disobedience. And so we constantly are trying to just pour God's word over them. And, and, and it's one of the greatest things about having them home with us is because we get to be the ones you and I were talking about the different character traits and our children and you know, the strong world versus the one who is outwardly obedient but not so much inwardly obedient. Speaker 1: And when we have them with us for the majority of the time we get to, to work with them one on one and focus on who God created them to be and what a wonderful and amazing privilege that we have. And not just a privilege but a responsibility that we have as their parents to portraits into their hearts and to, and help them to become who God created them to be. So I would love for you to, I know you've got some scripture that you share with your kids and with your family and I would love for you to share with us some, some scripture that you go back to for conviction and for the encouragement and training of your children. Speaker 2: Yeah. Well one of them we kind of alluded to and the previous broadcast, which was the understanding that, and this is sort of like whenever it's taxing, you know, whenever I feel overwhelmed or whenever I feel like maybe I, I talked to a friend and they're like, Oh, we're studying this and we're doing this. And that temptation kind of rises up to compare yourself and you think, wait a minute, should I also be doing, I don't know if I'm doing, you know, and I think about what's the purpose? Why am I doing what I'm doing? I'm not doing this so that my kids will be competitive in the world. That's not the reason that I'm doing this. I am doing this because I really do believe that when a student is fully trained, he or she will be like their teacher. And so I go back to that whenever I feel discouraged, whenever I feel like you know, man, I'm overwhelmed. Speaker 2: Or even when the enemy tries to condemn me, you know, are these feelings that we battle with as moms? Like am I meeting all of their goals? Like are there going to be gaps? Are there things that we don't know? You know, I remind myself of the reason that I'm doing this and the reason that I'm doing this is so that I can pass the gospel onto them intact. I want them to have the truth of the gospel, not some American version of the gospel. Not some 21st century version of the gospel. What I want them to have the faith as it has been handed down to us and that's why we do what we do. Speaker 1: Yeah. You talked about the American version of the gospel and I know that one of the things that you really focus on in your ministry is the church and where the church is today. Can you talk a little bit about what you're seeing in church culture and, and how we can be part of, of some change that needs to go on? Speaker 2: Yeah, so I feel like there's, there's always been a battle in the church. Like I tell people all the time that the gospel has never existed in safety. We have this idea where we think that, Oh, you know, back in this day or this time period, it was just easy to hold on to the gospel. It's never been easy to hold on to the gospel through persecution, through loss of life, right. Through, you know, insidious methods infiltrating the church. The gospel has always been under attack, but I think in the United States of America, it's been different because we kind of think that that can't happen in the United States of America, that the gospel cannot be under attack because America and my husband says this, often, America and Christianity have grown up alongside one another, and so now people think that Americanism is Christianity, right? The two are distinct and one is supposed to influence the other. Speaker 2: It's supposed to be Christianity that influences the culture, influences the nation. Unfortunately, what we've seen is we've see, we've seen Americanism influenced Christianity and that was never supposed to be, so we see this represented in our churches where our churches have growth models like their businesses, right? Where how do we grow our church? Well, you do that by conversion. You do that because the gospel bears fruit everywhere that it's preached and then the church grows. If you read through acts, you know, we've been studying through the book of acts with our children because we want them to understand that our faith is real, that it's something that has passed down through generations, that it holds up under scrutiny. And so when you go back to that, you look at the Lord adding daily to the number of believers who are being saved. You look at the gospel bearing fruit. Speaker 2: One of the things that I think that our church got into our churches in America was really just Americanism. You know, how do we create more popular youth groups? And, and I'm not anti-youth groups, but I just feel like if we have gotten to a place, and even I think we have, but if we've gotten to a place where we think that it's the youth pastor's job to train my kid, if I think it's the church's job to equip my kid to stand against the onslaught of the culture, then I'm sorry, and not to be offensive, but we're raising lazy Christians and we ourselves are lazy believers. Like, if we think that, Oh, someone else is supposed to do that, it's a, it's sort of like I'm outsourcing discipleship, you know what I mean? How can I get to do that for me so that I don't have to get my hands dirty? Speaker 2: Well, you're going to get your hands dirty. You know, my husband says all the time, he says, we, you know, we glamorize being fishers of men. And he goes and yeah, he goes, but at some point you catch the fish, you have to clean them. Yeah. You know what I mean? It doesn't stop with cash. And that's the discipleship. That's the dirty work where you have to really get in there and shape character. While I'm doing that, first and foremost with my kids, that's where it starts. And then after that, I'm discipling women because I believe the Lord has called us to that, that older women are to teach younger women, you know? And so that's important to me. But my work is first with my own kids. They're right here. They're closest to me in proximity, so I don't want to skip over them and then go to meet somebody else's need. And you know, my own kids are growing up sort of like these wild weeds, you know? Speaker 1: Yeah, yup, yup. That's right. I love this conversation. I love what we're talking about. I love talking about the church and, and how America has really influenced the church instead of the church influencing America. And that's really what we're seeing happen. All, you know, and it's not just in America actually, it's all over the world. You know, we, we've seen that in European countries and I mean it's everywhere. It's everywhere. And I think that Satan is very clever. I think that he wants people to believe that they're Christians. You know, if they go to church and they say all the right things and then serve in church and they serve the homeless. And I'm not saying any of that stuff is bad by any means. Of course it's not. But we tend to think that just playing the game is, is our ticket to heaven instead of people having a really deep, sincere longing relationship with and for the Lord. Speaker 1: And I, you know, that is one of the things that we desperately work on teaching our girls is we want them to, to thirst for the Lord. We want them to desperately want to know him and have a relationship with him because it's their relationship. It's not ours. You know, they, they don't get to ride on our coattails into heaven and, and it's a hard thing to do but, but you know, all we can do is what God has called us to do and be diligent in doing that. And you know, you have such a passion for Christian parents and so, and I know that you, for women as well, you talked about Titus two three through five and that the older women are to teach the younger women. So, and you've talked about this a little bit already. You did this in the first part of the podcast. But I would love for you to give some very practical maybe just advice on how, how we can very practically teach our children to love Jesus. Speaker 2: So my first piece of advice would be we have to live that out. That has to be true for us. We can't desire something for our kids that isn't first true for us. Right? So that's our first prayer point that we ask the Lord by the power of his Holy spirit to give us a genuine love for him, that we ask the Lord to create in us a clean heart, you know, to renew a right spirit within us. If, if the things of this world have overtaken us, then we need to confess that we need to bring that to the Lord. If we ourselves have been, you know, I dunno, captivated by Americanism and again, we need to confess that and bring that to the Lord. So that's one. Number two, I approach training our kids. Like I approached discipling other people's kids. We were missionaries for a number of years and we trained university kids. Speaker 2: And so I look at my kids like an extension of that work that we did as missionaries. So that means that I start with the word of God as our authority and as our straight edge. And I talk to them like real people made in the image of God. I don't disciple them. And this would be point number three. I don't disciple them for them to make me look good, right? Because our kids are not here to make us look good. In fact, our kids are going to embarrass us. Our kids are going to say things. They're going to have these little road bumps along the way as they grow in their faith. And I'm reminded of my own walk with the Lord where there are things that I didn't know I didn't understand perfectly. And the Lord was patient with me. He didn't cast me away because I embarrassed him. Speaker 2: No, the Lord was Haitian and enduring and long suffering. And so I want to have that as a model with my kids. They say things on a regular basis that I'm going and where is that in scripture? So that's number four when they make claims about Christ, you know, we're going through the book of acts. And so recently we're in acts chapter 17 where the apostle Paul has moved on from vessel a Nikah and he's going to Berea. And the Bible says that the Bereans were more noble than that. That's alone. Ian's, because they actually checked the scriptures to see of what the apostles were saying was true. Right. And so I told her kids, and this is something that holds me my feet to the fire, I tell them, if somebody makes a truth claim about the Lord, about his character, about his nature, your first question should be, where was that in scripture? Speaker 2: Yeah. Where'd you get that? Like, where, where is that? You know, and so, and, and my son doesn't miss a beat. Like, he's like, yeah, that's great. He goes, you know, mom, cause I was wondering, he goes, you said that Barnabas and Luke are John Mark. He said, you said that Barnabas and John Mark were cousins. He goes, where is that in the Bible? You know? And I said, Oh, you know what, JD, man, I read it. I need, I need to get that reference for you. But that's a great catch. Like if I'm going to make a claim that you know, Paul and Barnabas split up because of this dispute with Mark and Mark was Barnabas's cousin. Well that's sensational and so I need to be able to back that up. So I was talking to my husband and I said, I said, I remember reading somewhere about this. Speaker 2: And he's like, where is it? You know, I said to my husband, where is it? And he goes, well, it's in Colossians, you know, and so he's, I go there, and I did read it, but I'm thinking these are the things that I need to subject myself to this as well. Right. I don't pretend, and this would be number five. I don't pretend to have all the answers when I don't know something I say to my kids, I don't know that answer, but I'm going to research it and I'm going to give back to you because that is a question worth digging into. I think it's so important for us to not trip ourselves up and being super parents that our kids see that we have a real faith. We have a, like I let my kids know when I'm wrestling, when I have questions. Speaker 2: Recently my sister, I'm the second of five so my older who was the oldest of the five died suddenly without Mike. There is no reason we don't, we still don't know. And this was February 20th and so I've been walking through this grief process and you know, I've had to say to my kids, listen, you know, this is a really tough time for me. This was my first best friend. Like you know I w she was just a year older than I am and so it's been really tough, but I'm not going to hide that from them. I'm not going to only come out of my room once I've gotten it all together. I mean they've seen me suddenly break down crying and we're okay one minute. And I say to them, listen, the Bible teaches us that we don't grieve as those who have no home. But guys, we do Greaves and I'm gonna miss her, you know? Speaker 2: And so these are opportunities for us to show our kids that our faith is real. We live in a world where there's pain, where there is suffering, but we also serve the true and living God. If I could summarize all of that for you, Yvette, what I would say is I want my kids to know that my faith is real. That it's not something that, well, I just grew up in this and this is just what people do, but that our hope is real. We, you know, everything that we're passing on to them is something that we put our entire what are in that. Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh my goodness. I that, that is amazing. I love, I love that. I love everything you just said. I'm sitting here, I'm, I'm trying to write notes and still look at two at the same time. God's word does not return void. And you know, when, when I was in high school, I think I've probably shared this before, but when I was in high school, we went to a church that that didn't many things that were anti biblical and, and I really struggled with that. And I knew, I mean there was just something in my spirit. I was, I was a Christian at that time and I knew that there was just something wrong with the things that were going on. And so I went to a Christian school and I had a, my Bible theology teacher and his name is Dean Spoelstra. And I would come to him and I would say, so this, this happened at church this weekend and w what do you think? Speaker 1: And he would always say to me, it doesn't matter what I think, let's see what the word of God says about it. And he would always direct me back to scripture. And he was the first one ever, and this was my junior year in high school. I remember specifically, he was the first one ever who just always directed me back to scripture and just say, what does God say about it? It doesn't matter what I say, what does God say about it? And so we've, we really tried to do that with our children as well. Cause it, it doesn't matter what we say and, and teaching them scripture as a whole, you know, cause it's easy to take one verse and take it completely out of context and say, look, this is what the Bible says. Okay, well read everything around it. What's the history behind it? Speaker 1: What does the old Testament say that refers to that part of the new Testament? I mean like it's one big story. And so that's why it's so important to teach God's word as a whole. And, and so yeah, I love that point. And pointing them back to Jesus, there's no better way to disciple the hearts of our children. And we have, again, such an amazing opportunity with having our children home with us to be able to do that on a daily basis. You know, if we're away from us for 35 or 40 hours a week, we would miss so many opportunities to be able to do that. And so what a privilege and a responsibility we have to teach and train up our children to love. That's right. I don't think I would recognize them, Yvette. I don't think I would recognize these kids that God's given to me. Speaker 1: Right. If I were not able to be around them and have these times with them. Right, right. It is such a blessing. So while we are unfortunately out of time, I feel like I could talk all day long with you, but again, you are going to be on the homegrown generation family expo. We're going to do a live session with you. I'm so excited about that and I'm so we will continue to talk about all things culture and discipleship with you during that event.

Welcome back to the schoolhouse rock to podcast. I have such a great guest on today with me today and I'm so excited for you to get to meet her. Her name is Meeke Addison and she was actually introduced to me by Israel Wayne. I know that many of you know Israel. He's been on the podcast several times and he said, you need to meet this lady, Meeke Addison. And I said, okay. So we started checking into her and cause this is what we do. You know, we, we use the internet to spy on people. And, and so Garrett actually started listening to your radio show and just following you on Facebook. He's been for months and he said, we have got to get this lady on the podcast and she has such an encouragement. So, I'm really, really excited Meeke, to have you on today. I would love it if you would introduce yourself to our audience. Speaker 2: Well, thank you. I'm so excited to be with you guys. And that means so much to know because we have so many different outlets. People can listen to whatever they want. So it's an honor to me and for me that anybody would listen to anything that I have to say. I'm will Addison's wife and we've been married for 15 years and I'm the mother of his five children and we homeschool. And I also, that's my full time job. My part time job is as a spokesperson for the American family association. And I picked that up from my good friend Abraham Hamilton. He says that what we do out in the culture that is part time work, but that our full time is with our families. And so anyway, I do that and I host a national radio show for an hour Monday through Friday where we talk about cultural issues. We talk about marriage, the family. Certainly we look at what's going on with the church and how we can hold the line. That's what we're constantly encouraging people to do. Hold the line in 21st century America. Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. Well you are doing amazing work and you know I, I love what you just said about a Abraham Hamilton the third, right? That's correct. He's your pastor. I learned and I'm just another great advocate for Jesus and, and homeschooling and culture and just this, this desperate revival that we are in need of. And you said, you know that fulltime being a, a mom, his full time job and the other stuff is your part time job. And we just actually did a podcast about motherhood, the ministry of motherhood. And I kind of gave my, my testimony of what the Lord has been doing in my heart and kind of going from working full time with school house rock and pouring my whole self into that and realizing that my first priority really needed to be my children. And so the Lord has really been working in our family and kind of allowing me to let go of some schoolhouse rock stuff except for the podcast and allowing me to be more present with my family. Speaker 1: And so I love that that is your primary ministry as well. And you know, in that podcast it wasn't at all to say we shouldn't ever work, you know, as wives, as moms, we should never ever, ever work outside of taking care of our families. But there has to be balanced and doing that. We need to know what our priorities are. And so I really appreciate you saying that. You know, I know that the Lord has done many great things through you and you and I got to talk on the phone the other day and you got to share with me kind of your story about how you started homeschooling. And so I would love for you to tell that story and then I want to talk about culture and how homeschooling kind of ties into this whole culture war that we have going on. So, so share with us your homeschool story. Speaker 2: So we kind of found ourselves in a situation where we were just, we were sort of at this impasse where we, you know, realize that our kids were sort of being discipled away from us because you know, whenever there is influence, whenever there is training, whenever there is teaching, there is discipleship. You are making people who are followers. And so, you know, we had our kids, the two oldest of the five were educated traditionally so outside of our home. And one of the things that we noticed was that just, you know, the slow changes happening in them where the things that they cared about and the things that grabbed their attention seemed to be more of the things of the world. And they had wonderful godly teachers. I mean, you know, we live in a small community and so they went down to first Baptist, you know, in our, in our area and the teachers are, you know, active in the community. Speaker 2: But at the same time I started to notice that those became my girls influence, that their teachers and that their peers were their influence. And so add to that, I felt like I was spending two to three hours after they got home every day. Just kind of reteaching them and Yvette, I just felt like, why? Why am I doing this? Like, you know, why am I, I'm frustrated and, and then also I'm adding time to my day to teach them the way I wanted them to be taught and I'm after prayer and just willing, I'm putting our heads together. We felt like the Lord was really directing us to homeschool them. And I guess that was 2015 and we haven't looked back like, so when I was, I was expecting baby number four, I kind of keep track of life by the babies that I'm expecting, but I was expecting baby number four and, and that's when we made the decision that, you know, when the school year came to a close we would homeschool. Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. And in your show and your radio show that you host, you talk a lot about culture and just the this culture war that we are in. And I would love for you to talk about it from the perspective of a Christian homeschool mom. What do you see going on in the culture right now and how can we as homeschool moms help this, this a revival that is really to take place? Speaker 2: I think one of the big mistakes that we make, Yvette, is that we think the culture is neutral. We think that, Oh no, the culture does not have a goal or an aim or that it is not aggressive with that goal or that aim. And that's one of the things that we tried to sort of awaken and stir the Christian community to seeing that the culture is making grabs all the time. And actually it's predominant, right? So our country has undergone a shift where it's no longer the Christian culture that is predominant, you know? So we've heard people describe this as post-Christian America and, and what does this look like? You know? But the reality is that it's not the type of America that I think even you and I grew up in, I think it's rapidly changing. And what we have to recognize is that it's not a neutral change. It is a very aggressive change that pulls toward darkness. So you can't just expect your kid to sort of be out in this culture and be unaffected. Like your kid doesn't just go out into the world and arrive at a neutral position. Right. Your kid going out into the world is going to arrive at the position that's already established by the culture and it is antithetical to the faith. Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah. It truly is. And we're trusting that because we have them at home with us, you know, when we have them at home with us, if we have them out in the public, we're teaching them Bible verses and maybe they go to a one and they go to church on Sunday morning. And so we think oftentimes as Christian parents will, that's enough. They know we love Jesus, but then for 35 or 40 hours a week, we're putting them under the influence of someone else and someone else's ideas in someone else's religion. Really, because everybody believes in something, you know? And there is religion being taught in public schools and oftentimes even in private schools, there is false religion being taught in those schools as well. And, and so, yes, I think it's a very difficult thing to expect our kids to spend all of that time away from us and then still come back with our own values and beliefs and morals and it's a war. It's a battle that we've got going on. What can we as parents who, you know, some listening to this are homeschool parents, some are not. Some are trying to figure out this homeschool thing and wondering, is this for us? Is this something that we want to pursue? How can we have a greater influence on our kids? And therefore in our culture, Speaker 2: the first thing I think we have to realize is that there is the need for greater influence. I think sometimes, you know, we start talking about, Hey, here's the solution is what you have to do. But I don't know that Christian parents or even nominal Christian parents have even bought into the idea that there's really a war that they, that they really need to be aggressive this, you know, and so one of the things that we try to do with our kids is we try to parent them for the America that they live in now. Not the America that we knew, not the America that our grandparents knew, but we try to parent our kids based on the America that we live in now and the unchanging message of the gospel. So we still teach our kids that they are peculiar. We teach them that they will have by default a different approach to life. Speaker 2: And we believe that we have to prepare them now so that when they go out into the world, they're not shocked to discover that they're not well-liked. They're not shocked to discover that people don't love their message. Because you know what, there was a time when we were all just pretty good. You know, Christians, you know, where everywhere and everybody kind of had the same values and the same morals. But for those of us who are adhering to the word of God, we're waking up to the reality that you know where the rubber meets the road is that a Bible believing Christian will be called hateful, will be called a bigot. We'll be called narrow minded. And you can believe in a Jesus who accepts everyone as they are and doesn't require anything of us. And it's just one path among many. But if you say what the Bible says about Jesus Christ, that he is the only way, he is the only way to God and he is the only one who forgives of sin. Speaker 2: Well then you're narrow minded and we don't want that type of Christian to be in our circles. So we prepare our kids, and this is going to sound weird, I know, but we prepare our kids to not be popular in the current culture. That will never be. How do you do that? Practically speaking. Okay, so this is gonna sound really weird, right? But one of the verses, and we may get to this a little bit later, but I really believe that a kid or a student who is fully trained as the Bible teaches us is going to be like their teacher, right? Right, exactly right. So I try to ensure that will and I are the number one influences in our kids' lives. And so we model for them that we as your parents are not chasing after the latest fad. We're not into everything that's cool and popular. Speaker 2: There are things that we filter even as adults, like we constantly tell our kids the things that we say, no, you're not going to participate in that. Or we don't watch that. We call it consumption. We're not consuming those things. You know what I mean? We tell them, Hey, guess what? We subject ourselves to these same rules because these rules aren't arbitrary. It's not what we gotta to do it cause we're adults and you can't cause your kids. We say, no, this is what we do as people who follow the Lord Jesus Christ. So practically what we try to do is make sure that we ourselves are not in the world to be loved by the world. That we're not in the world to be liked. So that means that we're not ripping and running all the time. Like we're not trying to keep up on the latest things. Like I cannot stress enough how much parents influence their kids with their actions more than what they say. Right? So it means that the things that we value, we want to make sure that it's biblical and then we want to communicate that to our kids so that these are also the things that they value and it's as natural to them as breathing. It's the way that we live our lives, you know? Speaker 1: Yes, yes. I love that so much. And it's a hard thing to do, especially because we have grown up in a culture where we, we want to, we want to be liked, we want to be popular. You know, I, I definitely thinking back to my high school years, it's so funny, I was just talking to my daughter about this the other day and I said, I remember high school and junior high like it was yesterday. I graduated in 1993 and that was long time ago. But I remember it like it was yesterday. And I remember that deep desire to be popular, you know, I wanted to be liked by everybody and I wanted to be the cool girl. And, and that's something that even as an adult, I find myself going into, you know, I, I want people to like me. I don't want people to dislike me and, and it's hard to not conform to the culture around us. But I, I mentioned this on last week's podcast where we talked about when, when my oldest daughter was born, I had a very wise mom come alongside me and she said, you become the wife and mom that you want her to grow up to be. Speaker 2: Yes. That's it. I mean, that's a wonderful, who do I want her to become? Speaker 1: And so and, and I'm going to fail a million times because I'm a sinful human, but at least I can attempt and do my very best to be who God made me to be and then we get to teach our kids. I was, I went on a walk with her this morning actually. We were talking about identity and about how yet her identity is found in Christ and being Christ and like it's not found in the culture. It's not found in what magazines say is, is the new fashion and what things on TV say and how you should talk and what music you should listen to. And it's hard to keep them from that. You know, we were very intentional about what our girls see. We're not TV Watchers, we're not really big movie Watchers, which is kind of ironic since my husband is a filmmaker. But oftentimes, you know, we sit down and we're like, well, let's see if we can watch a movie. And it seems almost impossible to find even a decent movie for us to watch as a family. And so it's, but that's okay. Then we ended up playing a game, which is what we do all the time anyway. But, but it is difficult. It's difficult to be completely set apart. How do your children react to that? Has that just been something that they just know? I mean that's just because that's how your family is or do they, do they push against you on that ever? No, I have say Speaker 2: now each of our kids has their own unique personality. Like, so I noticed that it, there, there are objections, but those objections are raised differently. So with our oldest, she tends to be like, she was very strong willed. So from the age of three to like seven, it was consistent and constant discipline and character shaping. It was, Oh my goodness, it was exhausting for me. But man, the spirit of God just really gave me the, I guess the endurance to know that if I can get to this point and not just leave her on autopilot, it's gonna produce a reward. And I've seen it, she's 13 years old now and she is my, she is my second year and can be, he's always had that ability, but it needed to be channeled. And I remember having a conversation with her, you know, she was maybe about seven or eight and it was almost like the height of the rebellion, challenging everything. Speaker 2: And I said to her, I said, listen, without consequence. I said, let's have a conversation. What is it that, what do you want? Like what is going on? And I said, you're not going to be in trouble. I just need to know what it is that what's, you know, and my daughter said to me, she said, I want to be your boss. I want to be your boss. Right. She knew this was a breakthrough for me because I understood that what we're doing here is now we're battling for leadership, right. And so I had an opportunity to teach her that the time is going to come where she's going to be able to be in her own family and she will be the mom in the family. She will be in that position of leadership. And it was a wonderful moment and it changed the course of our relationship. Speaker 2: So now she is actually very honest with me when she attempted to rebel, when she feels like things are not going her way, you know she we built the kind of relationship where she would tell me then I have my second daughter who is compliant outwardly. But inwardly, no, I disagree. I don't, I don't understand the reasoning. I don't understand why we have to do it that way. You know? And I've noticed that in her. And so I've tried to encourage honesty and transparency. You sometimes think that my rules are arbitrary. Yes. Do you sometimes think we don't need to do it that way? Yes. Let me explain to you why we're doing it this way. And let me explain to you that again, when you're married or if that's not the Lord's will for you, but when you're on your own or however this all works out, you know, after you leave this house, which that's a whole other topic. Speaker 2: We're not pushing our kids out, you know? But you know, so I have to deal with them each differently. And then, you know, I have another son who he doesn't understand why the world is so wicked, really just doesn't understand why people are not better. He's 10 he's very philosophical in his thinking. He's, he's very scholarly, so he reads a lot and he reads the Bible a lot on his own. Like he just loves the word of God and you know, he says, he goes, there's, there's nothing that the Bible doesn't speak to is what he says all the time. Like, you know, when he has an issue. And to go back to another question that you asked about, one of the things that we have tried to do, so as homeschooling parents, we still try to make sure that our kids do not see us as the final authority. Speaker 2: So we position the word of God as the final authority. When they ask us questions, we take them to the scriptures. We say to them all the time, this is the straight edge. This is the straight edge, you know? And so we try to take them back to the word of God. And I feel like that's helped them to process a lot of what our objections are because they see them as biblical objections and not just parental like user or patient. I don't know. I guess these little people, you know, they want to be independent. Speaker 1: Yes, yes. Oh, I love that so much. And, and it's true, you know, we've, our girls are kind of flip flopped from yours in that my oldest is the more outwardly compliant and my youngest is the very strong, well then it's so neat to hear her cause we've really been working on her strong will and it's strong. I, I didn't, I never really understood what a temper tantrum was until she came along and I was like, Oh that's, that's actually a thing. It's different than a tantrum. A temper tantrum is something completely different. She prays. Now she like yours. She has such a soft heart and she often, I mean almost daily she praise, you know, Lord help me to use my strong will in a way that honors you because God gave her that strong. Well and so I want her to use it in a way that honors him. Speaker 1: I don't want to take it away from her. She just needs to sit in the right direction. That's right. Yeah. And, and you know, she can do big things for his kingdom if she will learn to honor and obey him. And what a beautiful thing, you know, that God is the final authority. Like you said, I want to talk more about this. We are out of time for part one of this. So I definitely want to come back. Let's do part two on Wednesday and let's talk more about God being the final authority about what God's word says about discipleship. And I want to talk a little bit about the church and what you see going on in church culture today. So thank you so much for those. Just listening to this one. Where can people find out more about you, Meeke? Speaker 2: I'd love for people to go to afa.net you can learn about the organization and also find links to check out the podcast for Airing the Addison's. Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yes, we'll definitely put those in the show notes. And I'm so excited to announce that you are going to be part of the homegrown generation family expo. So next Wednesday, April 1st no wait, hold on. I'm gonna read you that cause it's going to be that week and I'm so excited to announce that you are going to be part of the homegrown generation family expo.

Tevis Trower is the founder and CEO of Balance Integration, a consulting firm dedicated to humanizing the work experience. Trower is a pioneer in the realm of cultural transformation, leveraging her expertise in mindfulness, leadership development and employee engagement to create an environment where people feel valued and in turn, develop a commitment to the organization's goals. Balance Integration boasts a client list that includes heavy-hitters like Disney and Morgan Stanley, and Trower's work has been featured in Forbes, Fortune and Business Week, among many other media outlets. Today, Trower explains why we cannot change work culture with policy statements, describing how leaders must move beyond proclamations around bringing the whole self to work and truly embody the authenticity they value. She also explores the idea of employee engagement, discussing the mistake leaders make in driving performance rather than engagement and outsourcing it as a problem to solve rather than a behavior to model. Listen in for Trower's insight on the significance of leadership alignment and learn how you can foster a new sense of possibility in an organization at large. Key Interview Takeaways We cannot change work culture with policy statements. To truly shift the environment in an organization, we must go beyond proclamations and take our powerful mission and values statements to heart. Code switching implies a fear of being authentic at work. Trower points out that bringing our whole selves to work serves as an elixir, while the fear of being ourselves creates an environment where we must conform in order to feel safe. Leaders must role model authenticity in the workplace. If there's a satisfaction gap in what you get out of work, then there is a contribution gap in what you're bringing to work, and Trower suggests that the authenticity in organizations begins with the leaders' willingness to show up as ‘more human.' Engagement is not a problem to solve. Corporate leadership tends to focus on driving performance, while they outsource engagement to someone else in the organization. Trower argues that to engage employees, leaders need to see engagement as a behavior to model. Leadership alignment enables cultural empowerment. When the C-suite works to close the gap between what they want to create and what they are manifesting now, such a shift creates a new sense of possibility in the organization at large.

--Vi vet sikkert helt sikkert at vi må finne opp nye ideer, så hva er planen? Planen kan ikke være å finne opp ideene i forkant. Fordi vi vet ikke hvordan denne nye verden vil se ut. Derfor må vi bygge systemer som er fleksible, hvor vi kan eksperimentere med nye ideer for å finne den beste, sier NY Times- bestseller-forfatter Eric Ries i denne episoden av Shifters podcast.Shifter møtte ham under konferansen «Nordic Business Forum» i Oslo i januar,Dersom et lokalt taxiselskap tilfeldigvis hadde funnet opp Uber, hva ville de gjort med det, spør Ries.--Mest sannsynlig ville ikke organisasjonen vært i stand til å utvikle ideen, som nå er et selskap som er verdt flere titalls milliarder dollar, sier Ries.Ries, som tidligere har tidligere skrevet boken «The Lean Startup», lanserte i høst boken “The Startup Way: How Modern Companies Use Entrepreneurial Management to Transform Culture and Drive Long-Term Growth”, som handler nettopp om hvordan etablerte selskaper skal klare overgangen til en digital innovasjonsøkonomi.Det krever en total transformasjon av måten bedrifter er organisert på og blir drevet på i dag.Noen av temaene vi er innom i podcasten: - Hvordan skape en organisasjon som leverer «continuous innovation»? - Hvordan skape en organisasjon som klarer å utvikle, men også la nye forretningsområder vokse? - På hvilket tidspunkt innovatører bør vurdere å slutte i jobben sinFor deg som er interessert i dette temaet, sjekk også ut episoden med Alexander Osterwalder. Disse to episodene vil gi deg en god innføring i hvordan etablerte selskaper bør drive innovasjon i 21. århundre.PS: Beklager dårlig lyd (!)

The Lean Startup founder Eric Ries talks about his new book The Startup Way.  Eric recalls his first crash-course in entrepreneurship, what went wrong with his very first tech venture, and why having failed startup under your belt is something of a right of passage in Silicon Valley.  He discusses the strikingly similar issues faced by both large corporations and new ventures, and why the biggest problem with many startups is that they simply never plan for success.  He discusses how he helped form the innovative Fastworks Program at the granddaddy of legacy companies General Electric, and how a more entrepreneurial system can improve the bottom line for all kinds of organizations from large multinational corporations to government bureaucracies.
