This timely story that teaches kids the importance of respecting history, traditions, and each other in an increasingly divided America. But this episode doesn't stop there. Julie and Nick expose the media's complicity in the conspiracy to cover up former President Biden's cognitive decline, as Democrat insiders and legacy journalists rush to publish self-serving books to enrich themselves. This is a powerful conversation about the cultural rot in our society, the collapse of trust in the press, and what it will take to restore honesty and accountability in American life. Episode Highlights: Julie Banderas explains how A Monumental Mistake teaches kids to respect history and warns of the dangers of erasing America's past. A breakdown of how Democrat insiders and media elites conspired to cover up Biden's decline, and why they're scrambling to rewrite the narrative.

In this episode, I explore how tolerating situations we could change is actually a hidden form of clutter — mental and emotional clutter. I share a personal story about a time I was stuck in tolerating: why I stayed, what kept me stuck, and how I finally got out of it. I also touch on the difference between tolerating and accepting — because when a situation can't be changed, it's not about tolerating anymore. That's where we either resist and stay stuck, or we accept our powerlessness, let go, and make space for more peace.From Chaos to Peace Consulting Inc - https://connygraf.com Schedule a FREE Chaos to Peace Jumpstart Consultation Take the >>> Organizing Personality Quiz

Series: 1 John: That You May KnowPreacher: Pastor Anson McMahonThis sermon from 1 John 2:15-17 provides a crucial examination of the Christian's relationship with the world. Anson powerfully unpacks the seemingly paradoxical command to "not love the world," carefully distinguishing this from a hatred of people or creation. Instead, he illuminates "the world" as a Satan-influenced system of values and desires that stand in opposition to God. Through a detailed exploration of the "devil's trinity" – the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life – the sermon reveals the core temptations that lure believers away from a life devoted to God. Ultimately, it contrasts the fleeting nature of worldly satisfaction with the eternal significance of loving and obeying God, urging listeners to choose a path of lasting value.Key Points:The Command Against Worldly Love: An explanation of 1 John 2:15 and the call for believers to resist loving the world and its allurements.Defining "The World" Biblically: Clarification that "the world" in this context refers to a system of values opposed to God, not people or the created order.The "Devil's Trinity" of Worldly Temptations:The Desires of the Flesh (Lust of the Flesh): The pursuit of immediate, sensory gratification that disregards God's will.The Desires of the Eyes (Lust of the Eyes): The temptation towards materialism and coveting based on visual appeal and societal trends.The Pride of Life: The arrogant self-sufficiency that rejects dependence on God and seeks validation through worldly success.The Transitory Nature of Worldly Pleasures: An emphasis on the temporary and ultimately unsatisfying nature of sin and worldly pursuits compared to eternal joy in God.Choosing a Love with Eternal Significance: A strong encouragement to prioritize loving and obeying God, investing in what has lasting value beyond the fleeting nature of the world.Reflect & Discuss:In what specific ways do you see the "desires of the flesh," "desires of the eyes," and "pride of life" manifesting in our culture today?How can believers practically distinguish between enjoying God's creation and loving the world's system?What are some areas in your own life where you might be tempted to love the world or the things in the world more than God?How does understanding the temporary nature of the world impact your priorities and decisions as a Christian?Discuss practical steps you can take to cultivate a greater love for God and resist the allure of the world.Scripture:1 John 2:15-17Genesis 3:62 Samuel 11:2-4Joshua 7:20-21Proverbs 27:201 Timothy 6:9-10John 12:42-432 Timothy 3:2-4John 3:16Psalm 24:1Genesis 2:9James 1:14-15Proverbs 14:12Hebrews 11:25Matthew 16:26John 15:18-191 John 5:19Colossians 3:2Philippians 3:20Keywords:Love, World, Worldliness, Desires of the Flesh, Lust of the Flesh, Desires of the Eyes, Lust of the Eyes, Pride of Life, Temptation, Sin, Eternal Life, Temporary, Values, Culture, God, Obedience, Discipleship.

Send us a textIn this insightful and empowering episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon unveils the transformative power of looking inward, presenting five compelling reasons why self-reflection is not just beneficial, but absolutely essential for navigating life's complexities and cultivating inner peace. Lira gently guides listeners through the profound impact of taking the time to truly connect with themselves, emphasizing that this practice forms the bedrock of self-understanding, emotional well-being, and purposeful living.Lira's first key reason highlights the fundamental act of building a relationship with oneself. She eloquently explains how self-reflection allows us to become our own friend, fostering kindness, gentleness, and love that we often readily extend to others but neglect to offer ourselves. By cultivating this internal connection, we begin to treat ourselves with the same empathy and compassion we offer loved ones, nurturing a stronger and more supportive inner dialogue.The second crucial benefit Lira explores is the ability to understand our core values and principles. Self-reflection acts as a compass, guiding us to recognize what truly aligns with our authentic selves and what creates dissonance. Lira shares a personal insight into how being out of alignment can manifest in mental challenges, underscoring the importance of self-reflection in bringing us back to our center and fostering a deeper connection with our inner truth.Moving further, Lira illuminates the power of self-reflection in fostering awareness, which in turn cultivates clarity. In today's overwhelming world, bombarded by external stimuli, taking the time for introspection allows us to discern what truly resonates with us amidst the noise. This awareness provides the clarity needed to make conscious choices, tweak aspects of our lives, and move forward with intention and purpose.The fourth transformative aspect of self-reflection, as Lira explains, is its ability to align us with our true path or purpose. By looking inward, we can tap into what truly feeds our soul, what ignites our passion, and what makes us eager to embrace each day. Self-reflection creates a space to discover what brings us lasting fulfillment and what we are meant to contribute to the world, even on days when motivation wanes.Finally, Lira beautifully articulates how self-reflection cultivates unconditional self-love. By honestly examining our imperfections and areas for growth, we learn to embrace our whole selves, flaws and all. Self-reflection fosters empathy, compassion, and acceptance, reminding us of our shared humanity and the incredible journey we are navigating. In this moment, Lira encourages listeners to embrace the practice of self-reflection as a powerful pathway to a deeper, more loving relationship with themselves.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

In this episode, have you ever felt that there is too much injustice in the world and you just can't respond to it all? Have you ever found yourself making a compromise with your ethics just to make it through the day? I think we all have. My guest today has written a book looking at these tradeoffs.

Knowing Your Identity Coupled with Strategy Will Leave a Lasting Legacy A New Direction welcomes Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author Alex Brueckmann for a live, game-changing conversation about his latest book, The Legacy Strategy. In a world desperate for direction and authenticity, Brueckmann delivers a powerful message: true leadership isn't about chasing the next goal—it's about defining who you are and what you stand for. Get ready to explore the deep architecture of lasting impact. At the heart of The Legacy Strategy lies Brueckmann's powerful framework: The Nine Elements of Organizational Identity. From Purpose and Values to Brand Promise and Culture, these elements aren't just buzzwords—they're the DNA of enduring organizations. In this interview, we'll break down how these components work together to shape everything from strategic decisions to everyday behavior. If you lead a team, a business, or even your own personal mission, this is the blueprint you've been waiting for. Alex's approach isn't theory—it's battle-tested. He's worked with global leaders to align identity with action, turning abstract ideals into tangible outcomes. This episode will take you beyond surface-level strategy and into the soul of leadership. Learn how to leverage your organization's identity to navigate complexity, inspire trust, and build a legacy that outlives you. Join us live and bring your questions—this is your chance to engage directly with one of today's most thoughtful voices in leadership strategy. Discover how the Nine Elements can redefine your impact, your clarity, and your legacy. The Legacy Blueprint isn't just a conversation. It's a turning point. Alex Brueckmann's Wall Street Journal Best-Selling book, "The Strategy Legacy: How to Future-Proof a Business and Leave Your Mark" is an absolute must read! This book will make you rethink how like most businesses have neglected your business identity for strategy. And it's not going to work like you think. Alex gets us to think in terms of how we need to start with our people, figure out our moral compass, we believe, what we stand for, get to know your people deeper, and create a business that leaves a lasting legacy. Alex's 9 Elements of Organizational Identity are well-thought-out, well organized, and make so much sense. Putting things in the right order, so that you and I can get our businesses and organizations in order. Once we start with the people part, then strategy comes in to play...but only after our shared identity is clear. I found that having a strategy of further foresight was also intriguing. So often we stop after one, two or five years. But Alex encourages going further, what about 15 years from now? What is the impact of your business, then? What will it look like? Are you preparing for it now. The Strategy Legacy is not only a lesson in "future-proofing" your business, but Alex takes us step by step through the process, describing "why" and how long each step will take. Honestly, after reading this section, I have to be honest it will be quite the challenge, but the results are worth it. Nothing that has value is ever easy, and you will have to put in the work. Really a great book! I understand why it was a Wall Street Journal best seller. Get your copy of The Strategy Legacy by clicking here.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Sharon Schneider, founder of Integrated Capital Strategies. She works with families and foundations to align all of their activities with their values, expanding from philanthropy and impact investments to advocacy, operating businesses and property management/household operations. She is the author of "Handbook for an Integrated Life: A Practical Guide to Aligning Your Everyday Choices with Your Internal Compass". Previously Sharon served as Executive Director of the Telluray Foundation and was the founding Director of the Walton Personal Philanthropy Group. She was also co-founder and CEO of the for-profit social enterprise Moxie Jean, a Chicago Innovation Award winner in 2013 and a 2012 portfolio company of renowned tech accelerator Excelerate Labs (now TechStars Chicago). Moxie Jean was acquired by Schoola in 2015. Before starting Moxie Jean, Schneider spent 12 years as a staff member and consultant to private foundations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and dozens of small family foundations, working on issues ranging from strategic planning and outcome management to engaging your family in philanthropy. Sharon wrote a highly regarded book about the concept of an “Integrated Life”, and she shares with our audience the meaning of this term and its key takeaways for UHNW families. In her writings, Sharon posits that these is a “3rd Gen Problem” – that by the time G3 steps into the leadership role, the family office structure begins to strain. She describes this problem, and illustrates how it is manifested across families, why it occurs, and most importantly, what to do about it. Through her work with families, Sharon has formulated 8 principles for a values-aligned family office, and she unpacks her thinking and practical insights related to the 8 principles. She then provides some specific practical applications of the principles, and shares some use cases that can help bring the principles to life for our audience. Enjoy this informative conversation with one of the best recognized philanthropy advisors and practitioners in the family wealth space.
Attributes of Your Best Business Coach/Hiring a Business Coach While there are exceptions, Founders and CEOs of new businesses typically know about the industry-specific area of their business. But most lack knowledge about all of the business areas needed to run a successful enterprise. To make matters worse, “you don't know what you don't know”. Despite having a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Marketing; working for a Fortune 500 company as an account manager for five years, and being a successful private-practice Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist for two decades, I was ill-equipped to pull off everything involved to launch a successful coaching and consulting business. From costly mistakes in selecting a business niche; not understanding the sales process; having no clue how to network; not understanding financials and how to manage the money aspect of my business; making poor hiring decisions; poor time-management skills; challenges delegating; and business model issues; my journey toward having a profitable business was much harder than it needed to be. And it wasn't that I tried to figure this out all alone. I invested a significant amount of cash and time in business coaching, mentors, consultants, and programs with mixed results. While I am a huge advocate for hiring a right-fit business coach, making the wrong choice on what professional to bring into your business can dangerously steer you in the wrong direction and even be the death knell on your business's survival. Let me help you avoid these devastating mistakes and get on the right course with hiring the right business coach for you.

Jeannette examines the essential elements of creating a positive organisational culture, outlining 10 transformative steps to help listeners assess and cultivate the culture they desire. From defining core values and embedding culture into everyday practices to celebrating successes and fostering community, each point emphasises the importance of authenticity, purpose, and open communication Jeannette explains why: Establishing clear core values is essential as they set the foundation for the desired culture within an organisation. Values should reflect what you want to be known for and guide behaviours and decisions. Culture should be integrated into every aspect of the organisation, from recruitment and onboarding to product development and client interactions. Creating an environment where team members feel comfortable expressing themselves and providing feedback is crucial. Openness fosters creativity and ensures that everyone feels heard and valued. Recognising and celebrating both small and large achievements within the team helps to build morale and reinforces a positive culture. Simple acts of gratitude can have a significant impact. Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly. This episode is living proof that no matter where you’re starting from — or what life throws at you — it’s never too late to be brave, bold, and unlock your inner brilliant.

When you think about core values in your workplace, what comes to mind? A few words painted on the breakroom wall? A mission statement buried in an onboarding deck? For many organizations, especially in fast-paced, high-pressure industries like the trades, core values become background noise. But if you're leading a team, here's the uncomfortable truth: your culture isn't built by what you say you believe. It's built by what you tolerate. And if those values aren't actively guiding behavior, they're not values—they're decoration. So, how do you make core values actually work? How do you turn them from empty statements into a foundation that builds trust, accountability, and long-term growth? John Knowlton has spent years helping leaders get clear on what drives their teams. With a background as a United Methodist pastor and a business coach for trades and service companies, John understands that values aren't just about inspiration—they're about alignment. According to him, culture is not defined by what's printed on your website. It's defined by behavior. And too often, leaders create unspoken double standards. High performers are rewarded—even when their behavior undermines the team. Values are quoted in meetings but ignored on the jobsite. Over time, this erodes trust and breeds inconsistency. When your team sees misalignment between what's said and what's done, they stop believing. And that's when turnover, burnout, and disengagement start to rise. But when core values are clear, consistent, and practiced daily? They become your most effective leadership tool. In this episode of The People Strategy Podcast, Traci Austin sits down with with leadership coach John Knowlton for a candid, practical conversation about how to bring core values to life, especially in trades-based businesses. Together, they unpack what it really means to operationalize core values in the everyday: from crafting interview questions that reveal alignment, to navigating difficult decisions when two values seem to conflict. They explore how to hold high performers accountable when their behavior clashes with team culture, and how to embed values into performance reviews, peer feedback, and daily communication. This episode offers more than just theory—it provides actionable tools for leaders ready to stop reacting to culture and start shaping it. Because, as John says, “Your culture is happening whether you lead it or not."

Behavior Gap Radio: Exploring human behavior...with a Sharpie
“Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds, for riches do not last forever…” - Proverbs 27:23-24These days, our “flocks and herds” often look like stocks and mutual funds, not sheep and cattle. But the call to wise stewardship remains. One way we do that is through proxy voting. Jerry Bowyer joins us to explain how and why it matters. Jerry Bowyer is the President of Bowyer Research and our Resident Economist here at Faith & Finance. He is the author of The Maker Versus the Takers: What Jesus Really Said About Social Justice and Economics.What Is Proxy Voting?Proxy voting is similar to civic voting. As a citizen, you vote in elections, attend town halls, and even influence legislation. As a shareholder in a company, if you own the stock directly, you have similar rights: to vote on proposals, ask questions, and even submit resolutions.But if you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you hand that vote over to someone else—often a fund manager or institution. And unless you know how they're voting, your values may not be represented at all.Many Christian ministries, nonprofits, and even pro-life organizations are unknowingly voting against their own missions. Why? Because they either don't engage in proxy voting or delegate it without vetting the recipient's values.How Can Investors Reclaim Their Voice?Proxy statements are often long, complex, and written in confusing legal language. For that reason, many advisors default to saying, “Just let the client decide,” rather than helping them engage meaningfully.Of course, that's not a good sign because if it's too complex for the advisor, it's definitely too complex for the client. Instead, we encourage advisors and Christian investors to partner with specialists, like Bowyer Research, who can help decode the process and ensure votes reflect biblical values.They offer audits to show investors how they've been voting—often to their shock. They've never done one where people weren't stunned by what they saw.Mutual Funds, ETFs, and the Challenge of Indirect OwnershipIf you're invested through mutual funds or ETFs, you're likely not voting directly. However, that doesn't mean you're powerless. Here are some things to keep in mind:You can request data on how your funds are voting. Bowyer Research tracks that. You can explore “direct indexing” solutions—an increasingly available strategy that allows you to own shares directly and reclaim your voting rights. You can ask your advisor questions. “How am I voting?” is a simple but powerful question. If your advisor can't answer it, that's a red flag.What You Can Do TodayAsk your advisor how your shares are being voted. If they don't know, press in.Get an audit of your proxy voting records through BowyerResearch.com.Talk to companies, not just about them. Change happens through engagement, not complaint.If you're an investor, advisor, or leader at a Christian ministry or nonprofit, don't let your investments work against your mission. Visit BowyerResearch.com to learn how to align your proxy voting with your values.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 27 and own 20 acres of land.

It's a sobering outlook, but all hope is not lost. Rebuilding marriage starts in the home and in authentic, supportive community.
