This week on Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, explore a subtle yet powerful source of stress: the habit of constantly defending your perspective. From workplace decisions to personal relationships, many find themselves drained by the need to be understood, validated, or agreed with. But is it worth the cost to your energy, clarity, and peace?

Thought-provoking and deeply relatable, this episode offers practical insights for anyone ready to reclaim their power—and their peace.

This week, we’ll hear from author, certified health coach, and former QVC host Kerstin Lindquist. With a background in journalism and more than a decade in broadcast sales, Kerstin has reached millions through her work in health, wellness, and personal growth. Her journey—marked by infertility, loss, caregiving, and career pivots—inspired her to study the roots of stress and its impact on the body. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from writer, wife, and mother Kara Stout. Having faced significant personal challenges, including the loss of both her parents and a difficult journey through infertility before adopting her daughter, Kara has learned the importance of simplifying life, setting boundaries, and finding peace amid a fast-paced, often overwhelming, culture.

But I will tell you that fear, every step of the way, has been a constant companion.” - Kerstin Lindquist “If you remain in the present and next to [God], you can calm the fear. But as long as you’re remaining future-focused—what’s gonna be next, how am I gonna provide for my family, how am I gonna get over this health hurdle—then there will be fear.” - Kerstin Lindquist “I stand on stages and talk to thousands of people at a time about how to reduce stress and get closer to the Lord, hear the Lord, and combat fear. But it is a practice.” - Kerstin Lindquist “One of the big, huge ingredients to people having stress is not living out their purpose. Our purpose is always connected to the Lord and serving others. And you know without a doubt that you’re in your purpose if you feel the Lord’s presence, participation, and peace.” - Kerstin Lindquist “There really isn’t any way for us to completely rid stress from our life. But the beauty of our bodies—even if we go back and look biblically—it really does give us kind of the rule book on how to deal with things, which is why we talk about God resting. Even in the midst of stress—like at the bottom of a boat in a storm—He was still resting.” - Kerstin Lindquist “I ask myself the same questions [during my devotional time]: How are you feeling? How do I need to humble myself before the Lord? What am I grateful for? What am I praying for? What am I excited about today? What am I stressed out about today? How am I going to react to that stress? What do I have to hand over to the Lord? Who am I gonna serve today?” - Kerstin Lindquist “It was extremely difficult to have to endure the loss of both parents, but at the same time, I saw how real God was in that suffering, in that grief, and it was a gift to be able to draw near to God in that deep suffering.” - Kara Stout “Something that I felt God encouraged me to do in the early days of becoming a mother, that I continue to remind myself of today, is to recognize when I’m striving and then to simplify.” - Kara Stout “Sometimes people can become accustomed to anxiety or worry, but God gives us a different way to live—a life lived safe in His peace, despite trials and circumstances.” - Kara Stout “God does not leave us on our own to deal with life’s worries and hardships. He’s a God of compassion, and He’s there for us, always, to help us. It’s just His love that really gives us so much peace in those moments.” - Kara Stout “Though there are multiple ways our hearts can feel troubled at times, God is our ever-present, always available remedy for the troubles of our hearts.” - Kara Stout ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Life can be full of uncertainty. Whether it's moving to a new city, starting a new job, or walking through a difficult time, we don't always know how things will work out in the end.

We sat down with Dr. Natalie Houghtby-Haddon, a longtime colleague of both Bonnie and Ina through the George Washington University Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (GW CEPL). Our conversation began with her new role as Executive Director of the Center, stepping in at a time of transition and uncertainty. For more than two decades, the Center has focused largely on federal government leadership training, but as that landscape shifts, so does CEPL's direction. Originally launched to support local government employees, the Center quickly evolved to serve the federal workforce, adding executive coaching to its offerings along the way. Now, with the emergence of “CEPL 4.0,” the Center, led by Dr. Houghtby-Haddon, is looking beyond public service to develop leadership training for corporations and other sectors. It's a moment of challenge, but also opportunity. With Dr. Houghtby-Haddon at the helm, we explored how her lifelong commitment to building healthy, just, and sustainable communities informs this next chapter. That guiding principle first led her to the United Nations, then with a desire to make more of a direct impact in the community, she became a clergywoman and spent two decades pastoring churches in Southern California. Throughout her career, Dr. Houghtby-Haddon has helped people reimagine what's possible in their lives and communities. She shared her powerful framework of the “four worlds”—mythic, communal, social, and cultural—interconnected spheres that help us navigate change and envision new ways of being. Drawing on her experience across leadership, ministry, and public service, she spoke about her personal philosophy and how both failures and successes have shaped her journey. Dr. Houghtby-Haddon also walked us through five key leadership perspectives that have influenced her thinking and continue to do so at the pivotal time for the Center: Scientific Management, Excellence, Values-Based Leadership, Trust and Cultural Leadership, and Whole-Person Leadership. Each contributes to a holistic view of how leaders and the organizations they serve can thrive in times of transformation. Toward the end of the conversation, we returned to Dr. Houghtby-Haddon's model and how it inspires people to move beyond it in pursuit of their fullest potential. She spoke about the importance of letting go of the old and welcoming the new—something she's experiencing first hand at the Center, where the future is uncertain but full of exciting possibilities to rethink leadership and help leaders lean into their full potential. Don't miss our lightning round at the end of the conversation to find out what Dr. Houghtby-Haddon might do if she had all the time in the world, where she might spend it, and what she's currently reading. It's a fascinating conversation that really opens the mind, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Leading with Flexibility in Uncertain Times with Kevin EikenberryIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Kevin Eikenberry, Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group and author of Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence. Kevin shares timely insights on how today's leaders can thrive amid volatility by staying grounded in their values while adapting their strategies. From navigating change to investing in leadership development, this episode offers a practical roadmap for leaders who want to lead with confidence and clarity—even when the future is unclear.How to Lead with Confidence in a Volatile WorldKevin emphasizes that modern leadership isn't about always having the answers—it's about being agile, values-driven, and committed to continuous learning. Drawing on decades of coaching leaders, he shares how embracing flexibility doesn't mean abandoning structure. Instead, it means having deep roots (your values) and being able to bend (your strategy) when the winds of change blow. Leaders must separate their identity from their roles and build adaptive thinking into their teams. He also introduces the metaphor of a tree: stable at the roots, flexible in the branches—a model that resilient leaders should follow.Through candid conversation, Kevin and Josh explore how uncertainty can actually be a catalyst for growth. Leaders who acknowledge unpredictability, model transparency, and focus on what they can control are more likely to build trust and drive results. Kevin also warns against falling into the “leadership trap”—confusing your job title with your personal identity. Real leadership, he explains, comes from consistent values-based action, not positional authority.Finally, Kevin shares actionable strategies for building leadership capacity. He encourages leaders to invest in training, conduct value clarification exercises, and remain open to feedback. With tools like his free masterclass and The Remarkable Leadership Podcast, Kevin equips leaders to become more effective in both mindset and behavior. His ultimate message: Great leadership is less about control and more about creating clarity and consistency in how you show up for your team—even when everything around you is changing.About Kevin EikenberryKevin Eikenberry is the Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group and a globally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author.

To celebrate 300 episodes of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, I'm revisiting one of the most meaningful episodes in the series. Inspired by a passage from the Tao Te Ching, this episode explores how the empty spaces in our lives—moments of uncertainty, loss, or stillness—can become the starting point for growth, creativity, and true fulfillment. We often rush to fill the void, but what if that emptiness is exactly where our next beginning lives? What if the unknown holds the very thing we've been waiting for?

*This episode mentions suicide and depression and may not be suitable for all listeners. This week, we sit down with podcaster Lola Sheen, daughter of actors Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Lola bravely shares her story, detailing the unique challenges of growing up under public scrutiny and its impact on her mental health. She opens up about a pivotal turning point in her life—discovering her faith and the profound difference it has made. Now, Lola is channeling her experiences into her own podcast and online platforms, passionately dedicated to supporting others who may be walking a similar path. Later in the episode, pastor, author, and founder of Fresh Life Church, Levi Lusko, returns to the show to speak about how he hit a wall in midlife, reevaluating his identity, and learning to live within the limits of time. Levi also shares practical tools that helped him move forward—and invites us to consider the hidden gifts that can come from life’s hardest seasons.

I didn’t [know] my worth. I believed all these other things that everybody would say about me. I never had someone be like, ‘No, this is the truth. This is who you are.’” - Lola Sheen “I didn’t see Him, but I felt Him. It felt like Jesus came and took my hand, and I can’t even explain it—my room just had this overwhelming sense of peace and safety and I knew I was going to be okay.” - Lola Sheen “I felt such a calling on my life to minister to people who have experienced depression and anxiety and to help them and show them that you are never too far gone for Jesus.” - Lola Sheen “I just want to show that His heart is like a father. He wants to be there for you, help you and to show you what real love looks like.” - Lola Sheen “I would say the habit that has kept me focused on the more positive things is spending so much time alone with God and letting Him fill my mind before anybody else does. When things get hard, I just have to look up and remember that I serve an audience of One.” - Lola Sheen “The last two years, I look back on it as a really important time—a milestone that I smile when I think about—because joy came from digging once again in the field for fresh treasure, which is what Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is like.” - Levi Lusko “It’s really important for us to remember that we are in an upside-down kingdom. So everything is inverted. Want to find your life? Lose it. Want to keep your life? It is not going to be yours anymore. You want to be great? Serve.” - Levi Lusko “That kind of became a rally cry for me, going all in for fresh treasure, because there’s no end to the treasure of knowing Jesus.” - Levi Lusko “If you feel like you’ve hit a wall, it might mean you’ve just gone as far as you can go with the tools you currently possess and the season of life that you’re in. That’s okay to mourn the ending of whatever it is that is making you feel bad. We tend to belittle our grief if it’s not worthy of making us sad.” - Levi Lusko “Maybe I’m feeling so much despair because I’m trying to make permanent what was meant to be a season.” - Levi Lusko “After you’ve mourned what’s behind you, let God build up excitement for what’s in front of you, because with Jesus, the best really is always yet to come.” - Levi Lusko ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Stephanie Rousselle welcomes back author and speaker Katie Reid. They dive into practical faith lessons rooted in Katie's Bible study, God, What Do I Do?, which explores the first five chapters of Judges—a book that surprisingly offers deep insights for navigating life's uncertainties. Transitions—graduations, moves, empty nesting—often prompt us to ask, “God, what do I do?” Katie Reid begins with the importance of remembering God's past faithfulness. Just as God's people in Scripture set up literal memorial stones to help future generations recall His mighty works, we're called to do the same in our own way. When facing the unknown, look back: Has God ever provided when you couldn't see the way forward? Remembering builds faith for the present and the future. Katie offers a practical tip: Share stories of God's provision with your family or community. This strengthens everyone's faith and creates a culture of expectation for God's continued faithfulness. A common misconception is that God's rules are restrictive. However, the Book of Judges and Katie's personal example remind us that God's guidance is meant for our protection and ultimate freedom. Just as parents warn children out of love, God sets boundaries to spare us unnecessary pain and lead us to fuller life. Katie invites us: Consider a time you resisted God's leading, only to discover later that His way was truly for your good. In Judges 1, the Israelites start out strong in obeying God, but falter when they encounter intimidating obstacles (“iron chariots”). Katie shares from her own experience—facing a daunting move to Florida without knowing all the details—that sometimes God asks us to walk forward in faith before providing the full picture. Partial obedience or giving in to intimidation can rob us of experiencing God's best. Katie suggests, Ask yourself: What are your “iron chariots”—those fears or obstacles tempting you to stop short? Where might God be inviting you to complete, not just partial, obedience? Prayer is our lifeline, especially in confusing times. The Israelites often forgot to inquire of the Lord, leading to trouble. Katie urges that “SOS prayers” (“God, help!”) are not only acceptable, but powerful. Lean into God honestly—He delights in our dependence, not our performance. So, in moments of overwhelm, pause and simply pray. No fancy words needed. Dependence is what God desires. Both obedience and disobedience set ripples in motion for generations. Testifying—sharing what God has done—points others to His ongoing goodness. Judges 5 models this with a “testimony song,” celebrating God's victories. Here's an idea: Write down or verbally share a recent “God moment” with a friend or family member. The Book of Judges isn't just a cautionary tale; it's an invitation to deeper trust and practical obedience. Remember what God has done, trust His commands, move forward in faith—even without all the answers—and don't be afraid to cry out honestly in prayer. Celebrate small wins, and share what God is doing. This is how uncertain times become seasons of spiritual growth and fresh clarity. Throughout the study, Katie invites us to apply these lessons in our transitions, decisions, and daily walk, trusting that God leads, remembers, and is always faithful.

Geopolitical risks like the crisis in the Red Sea or more protectionist trade policies are increasing inefficiencies in global shipping, which will require more ships to move the same amount of freight. In this Talking Transports podcast, Jan Rindbo, CEO of D/S Norden, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share insights about how its dry-bulk and product-tanker fleets are navigating the uncertainty. A more favorable order book is making the dry-bulk outlook brighter relative to the product tankers. Rindbo also talks about Norden’s focus on biofuels to reduce emissions, entrance into the break-bulk market, returning capital to shareholders and how his desire to see the world led him to a long career in shipping.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, as we celebrate the spirit of independence, we’re spotlighting a uniquely American story. Jared Orton, president of the Savannah Bananas baseball team, joins us to reflect on a journey that started with just a few season tickets, no logo, and a wild idea. From humble beginnings in a historic Savannah stadium to becoming a national sensation, it’s a story about bringing people together, breaking the mold, and accomplishing it all with a deeper meaning. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from marine biologist Rachel G. Jordan. From her inland roots in Idaho to coral reefs around the world, Rachel has followed a lifelong passion for ocean life, earning degrees in ecology and marine biology, and studying biblical theology along the way. Through science and story, Rachel explores the powerful intersections between nature, faith, and the presence of God—even in the deep.

This thing is fun to the max, and that’s been our mission from day one—to make baseball fun.” - Jared Orton “We were created on purpose, by purpose, for purpose, and to do anything less than our best would not be glorifying God and the reason that we were created and placed on this earth.” - Jared Orton “We’re in the human business, and we’ve got to hold that very humbly in our hands because that is a privilege and a huge responsibility that this thing has been entrusted to us to do something incredibly powerful in the world.” - Jared Orton “We’re going to treat every game like it’s someone’s first game, and we’re gonna make it important for them. That’s been our guiding light and guiding principle—we’re going to treat this like someone’s first game.” - Jared Orton “People are legitimately looking for things to celebrate and do with people. And they come to our games and they dance, they laugh, they cry, they cheer and they hug each other. We treat every game like it's someone's first game and we're gonna make it important for them.” - Jared Orton “It blew my mind that these [corals] were not rocks or plants but animals—animals that built these cities underwater that attracted all sorts of other creatures to live there and supported so much of our planet.” - Rachel G.

Jordan “There are times that I look up from what I’m doing and I'll feel or literally be alone. I might be the only person in this ocean right now, but God never leaves or forsakes me.” - Rachel G. Jordan “I’m a firm believer that God speaks to each of us in the way that we will best understand. A lot of learning to be in a relationship with God is finding those meeting places–sort of the holy ground where you can best experience His presence, most clearly hear His voice, and engage in life together.” - Rachel G.

This episode explores the powerful difference between living from softness and reacting from survival. While we may long for peaceful, supportive surroundings, life doesn't always cooperate. So how do we stay grounded and open when the world around us feels loud, rushed, or harsh? Through reflection and practical tools, we'll look at how to generate calm, clarity, and love from within—regardless of our circumstances. Because softness isn't about weakness—it's about strength rooted in presence, gratitude, and trust. When we stop resisting life and start responding with awareness, we create space for more peace, possibility, and joy.

In this episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE, host Chris Galeski and Financial Planning Associate Ian Rennick dig into a shiny subject—gold. Is it a smart investment today? Should you own it in your portfolio, and if so, how much? Tune in if you're interested in:Why central banks around the world are buying record amounts of goldHow gold can help protect your portfolio from inflation and market volatilityWhat percentage of your portfolio should be in gold—and where to keep itThe historical power of gold as a long-term store of valueHow today's economic and geopolitical climate could impact the value of the U.S. dollar
What happens to your wealth when traditional investment models no longer work? Ken Grewal, Co-founder and CEO of Forthlane, joins Scott to reveal what institutional investors are secretly worried about—and how they're positioning their portfolios in response.The conversation takes a fascinating historical turn as Ken explains why we may be experiencing a modern version of 1970s economics, where bonds delivered negative real returns while real assets thrived. "If your equity is up 7% and you give half back to the government, you have 3.5%. If inflation is 5%, you actually lost purchasing power," Ken warns, highlighting why conventional investment wisdom might be failing today's investors.Ken breaks down the concept of "The Fourth Turning"—a cyclical view of history where debt-fueled economic expansion eventually requires painful correction. We're potentially in the early stages of this correction now, and Ken offers concrete strategies for navigating it successfully, from reevaluating bond allocations to incorporating real assets as portfolio insurance.The discussion challenges the traditional 60/40 portfolio model, suggesting alternatives like private credit, infrastructure investments, and global diversification as potential paths forward. Ken shares a particularly illuminating perspective on gold and other hard assets: "We don't own gold because we're trying to make money. It's called insurance." This framing helps investors understand why certain allocations matter beyond simple return calculations.Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or retiree concerned about preserving capital, this episode offers invaluable insights into how institutional investors are thinking about wealth preservation in uncertain times.

When life feels unbearable—when you're anxious, heartbroken, or overwhelmed—it's natural to push against the moment. You replay the past, resist what you're feeling now, and fear what's next.

In this episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, we explore how to stay grounded in difficult moments—not by approving of what's happening, but by loosening the grip of resistance, so you can find clarity, calm, and your next step forward.

*This episode contains mature content. This week, we’ll hear from war correspondent Benjamin Hall, who has spent much of his career reporting from some of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones. In 2022, while covering the war in Ukraine, he was gravely injured in an attack that killed two of his colleagues. Today, he shares how that harrowing experience challenged his limits and instilled in him the unshakeable belief that we all have the strength to overcome—no matter what we face. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from author and life coach Chris Janssen as she shares her firsthand experience with alcoholism and the path to recovery. Now, through her journey of sobriety, Chris uses the lessons learned from her lowest moments to help others rise to new heights.

You’ve got to address it, but also not run from it. I think that the worst thing you can do is hide from them, run from them, pretend they didn’t happen.” - Benjamin Hall “We are survival machines—humans. If you can channel your feelings, if you can talk to God, if you can find the strength you need, you can get through absolutely anything.” - Benjamin Hall “Everyone has resilience. I suppose what’s difficult is learning how to really use it. I always managed to find the beauty in every day while acknowledging loss. I think that’s something that is so important for people to learn—how to balance those two things in your life and not let the loss overwhelm you, but how to let the positive really guide you.” - Benjamin Hall “I just think anybody, regardless of how you grew up, can get caught in the snare of addiction.” - Chris Janssen “When the shame and guilt flew off my shoulders, my belief changed from I’m a monster to I’m deserving of recovery and community and sobriety because I’m addicted to alcohol.” - Chris Janssen “To me, physical wellness leads to emotional wellness.” - Chris Janssen “The way I describe sobriety is more than abstinence—it’s a lifestyle, not an event. I don’t believe I’m giving something up by sobriety, I’m gaining something. And what’s gained is my life, my memories, my presence with people, my ability to have fun.” - Chris Janssen “I felt like everything I did, I had to earn it, and that’s the opposite of grace. When we live in a mindset of control, we’re unable to accept grace. We’re taking control of our own worthiness, and we don’t get to do that. God has said we’re worthy and valuable no matter what.” - Chris Janssen ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

On this episode “Better Than Fine,” host Darlene Marshall dives deep into what it takes to thrive when life gets tough, sharing her evidence-based "three keys to resilience." As so many of us navigate a world full of uncertainty, Darlene unpacks the leading research on resilience—including insights on connection, purpose, and mindset—and guides listeners on how to practically apply these powerful concepts to their own lives. Kicking things off, Darlene invites you to reflect on your own moments of struggle and introduces the foundational habits that buoy resilience: sleep, nutrition, and movement. From there, she explores why humans are truly pack animals, emphasizing the profound impact of connection—from co-regulation with others to literal sharing of resources and community. She encourages simple, actionable ways to deepen community ties and give/receive help when you need it most. Next, Darlene explores the role of purpose, prompting big questions: Why are we doing what we do? What really matters to us? She shares strategies for finding meaning day-to-day and reframing even life's chaos in more hopeful, purpose-driven ways. Finally, she highlights the essential "mindset" skills that foster solution orientation—like realistic optimism, growth mindset, and process goals—especially when we can't control the outcome. Whether you're feeling uncertain or simply want more tools to build a better, more resilient life, this episode is a practical, compassionate guide.

Today, Eric tackles the truth about uncertainty. Many business owners and entrepreneurs find uncertainty unbearable. Eric points out that if you, as a business owner, do not learn the art of navigating uncertain times, you may need to reconsider whether it is genuinely the right industry for you. Uncertainty Feels Tougher Without a Plan A friend of Eric, living in Israel, recently made the striking observation that he finds frequent missile alerts easier to handle than the uncertainty of running a business. That is because he has prepared himself for those situations. So, when an alarm sounds, he knows exactly what to do. However, navigating uncertainty in business is much harder because there is no clear structure or step-by-step plan to follow. The truth is that uncertainty becomes far more manageable when you have a plan. Nothing Ever Goes According to Plan With decades of experience running meetings and events worldwide, the constant that always stands out to Eric is that things never go exactly as planned, and disruptions are the norm. So, even though we cannot control everything, we can always control how we respond to it. When we learn to adapt and prepare ourselves with alternative plans, it makes all the difference! Focus on What You Can Control Control is not about fixing every problem. It is about identifying the next best step you can take. When unexpected challenges arise, the solution lies in focusing on controllable factors. Proactive problem-solving, negotiation, and networking help us create viable paths forward. Keep Perspective During Chaos When stress builds, especially in uncertain times, return to your values, your purpose, and the progress you have made. Uncertainty will always exist, but so will your capacity to adapt, find solutions, and do what truly matters. That is often the only certainty you will need.

This week, we’ll hear from pastor, speaker, and author DawnCheré Wilkerson. After walking through an eight-year journey of infertility, DawnCheré began to have a new understanding of what it means to trust God even when the answer is “not yet.” Now a mother of four, she encourages others to look for God’s presence not just in fulfilled promises, but in the slow, sacred work of waiting. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Erin Hicks Moon. Erin is a writer, podcaster, and the resident Bible scholar on the Faith Adjacent podcast. Known for creating thoughtful space for spiritual questions, Erin invites listeners to engage their faith with open hands and open hearts, believing that questions aren’t roadblocks but profound invitations.

I think that we feel the tension between hope and despair, but I found that a relationship with God and faith in Jesus, make all the difference.” - DawnCheré Wilkerson “It’s in the waiting that I discovered who God is. The intimacy that you feel when you’re desperate for God, knowing that He’s close, knowing that He’s involved in every second, knowing that He’s orchestrating your life; there’s a confidence that we can hold on to. And when we find it in seasons of desperation, we don’t just find it for that moment, we get to carry it for the rest of our life. ” - DawnCheré Wilkerson “In those eight years of infertility, I came to a place where I discovered there is work in this wait. There’s soil for me to dig deep into. There are areas for me to grow, areas for me to prune, areas for me to be outstretched and generous with my life.” - DawnCheré Wilkerson “Hebrews is very clear. Abraham, Sarah, Rahab, Moses… Scripture tells us in Hebrews that they all died still believing in what they had not seen. So if these heroes of the faith, the matriarchs, the patriarchs of our faith, didn’t see all of the promise in this life, why do I think that I will? This is where we get to trust God, but know that this is not the end of the story.” - DawnCheré Wilkerson “I think what life is really about is this long burning fuse attached not to a seasonal outcome of the explosion of God’s faithfulness, but rather to the promise of eternity.” - DawnCheré Wilkerson “We say we’re waiting, but we’re filling the time with a million different things that are really turning down the volume on the voice of God. A lot of my focus in life is how to prune out distractions because I’m prone to pick up so many different things to fill the time while I’m waiting on God.” - DawnCheré Wilkerson “There’s a really heavy leaning on preaching and crafting sermons and getting people in line with exact ‘correct’ theological beliefs, but I think there’s a disconnect between that and actually being pastored. Do people believe what we say because of what we do? I think a lot of younger generations are seeing a disconnect between that, and they want to follow the fruit.” - Erin Hicks Moon “I think we often tend to over complicate things at times. The disciples—we don’t have any record of them arguing about atonement theory or transubstantiation—what we’re mostly left with is just ‘go do the thing. Take care of the people. Tell them about Jesus. Let the Holy Spirit do the Holy Spirit’s work.’” - Erin Hicks Moon “I think if we lean in with a posture of curiosity, it’s one of the avenues through which we love our neighbor as ourselves. I think we want our kids and the people who come after us to have better tools and be more informed to have a fuller faith.” - Erin Hicks Moon “I see prayer as life with God, and I think there are so many ways to be with God. You don’t have to have everything perfectly figured out with God to talk to God, to be with God, and to look for God everywhere.” - Erin Hicks Moon “The goal is being with Jesus and letting Jesus transform you. I would tell you not to be afraid or to try to push past the fear of burning something down, like your faith, because ash is fertilizer and good things will grow again.” - Erin Hicks Moon ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

* This episode contains mature content. This week, we get to hear from Becky Murray, the founder and CEO of One By One, an organization committed to ending exploitation and bringing freedom to vulnerable children around the world. Becky’s journey began with a simple desire to fight injustice—a passion that eventually led her from her dreams of a law career to the front lines of global humanitarian work. Becky shares how a pair of pink flip-flops sparked a lifelong mission and why she believes that even small acts of kindness can change the world—one life at a time. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Andrea Kazindra, co-founder and co-CEO of Musana, a Ugandan-led organization transforming communities through schools, hospitals, and businesses. What began as a college internship turned into a lifelong commitment to creating sustainable, locally-driven change. Nearly two decades later, Andrea continues to lead with humility, vision, and a deep belief in the power of community. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Lori Allen Upcoming interview: DawnCheré Wilkerson Becky Murray One By One Luke 10:25-37 NIV Embrace The Journey Andrea Kazindra Musana Mohammed Yunus Interview Quotes: “The temptation is because I can’t fix it all, I’ll shrink back and do nothing at all. It sometimes feels like when I look out at the ocean of need before us, it feels like I’ve got a teaspoon in my hand, and I’m attempting to empty an ocean. God doesn’t ask us to go and feed the 5,000, but what is in our hands that we can make an impact with today.” - Becky Murray “If we would just have eyes to see the needs of the ones that God brings across our path day in and day out, and if we just constantly have this heart of, Who today can I reach, who’s my neighbor today? Every day, we can see a big impact in and through our lives.” - Becky Murray “We’ve got incredible staff around the world that are running our centers. I see the kids who were supposed to not make it even past elementary education because they were so ill. And yet, after encountering the love of Christ and being given the help and the medical care that they needed, they’re now graduating around the world. To see the difference that God has made in their lives is what helps keep us motivated to keep reaching that next one.” - Becky Murray “Live with our hands open, saying, ‘Okay, God, I’m not perfect and maybe I’m still needing healing in certain parts of my own life, but despite all that, you can still flow through me if I just say yes.’” - Becky Murray “I think as long as our eyes are constantly fixed on Him, that makes all the difference, because it takes your eyes off the mountain and puts them on the One who can move those mountains.” - Becky Murray “The kids became more than just kids that were abandoned or vulnerable, living in poverty, they became names and faces and personality.” - Andrea Kazindra “If a woman delivers a baby in one of Musana’s hospitals, it is four times more likely that the baby will survive than if the baby is born at another facility in Uganda.” - Andrea Kazindra “One thing that I’ve learned being in Uganda is that prayer can be a part of every day, throughout the day. I think when you don’t have much and you don’t know what you’re going to feed your family next week, your reliance and trust has to be in God.” - Andrea Kazindra “The only reason Musana is what it is today and has grown into what it is today is because it has had God’s hand in it.” - Andrea Kazindra ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
