The hosts discussed their busy schedules and family activities, with Keith mentioning having multiple grandchildren staying for VBS week. They talked about the good attendance at Monday’s VBS session with about 40 kids present, and Jill suggested encouraging the kids to bring friends to increase attendance. The conversation then shifted to general household challenges, including managing lights and TV settings, with Terry sharing that his wife struggles with their Smart TV. News of the Week Terry discussed a Wisconsin driver who got stuck in freshly poured concrete after moving a road closure barrier, while Keith commented on the importance of following construction signs. Jill shared a story about a parakeet in Scotland damaging cars by pecking at rubber parts, possibly due to boredom or territory protection. Keith then presented a story about a fossil initially thought to be the world’s oldest octopus, but later determined to be a different type of cephalopod relative, found in Illinois. Terry shared about a speed limit sign set at 17.3 to catch drivers’ attention. Jill told a story about a chicken on the loose in Kentucky that was eventually captured by animal control. Keith then described a unique library program in Benesia, California called Lucha Libro, which features professional wrestling matches to promote literacy. Terry concluded by sharing a heartwarming story about a Virginia man whose car’s dashboard warning lights activated to reveal a nest of baby squirrels in the engine compartment, which were successfully reunited with their mother. Jill's Weird Words The group discussed various words and their meanings during what appeared to be a vocabulary session. They examined words including “stentorian” (meaning loud and powerful), “auret” (related to gold), “pervert” (meaning obsolete), “kismet” (meaning destiny or fate), “fandangle” (meaning a useless or ornamental thing), “leonine” (meaning lion-like), “disport” (meaning to enjoy oneself unrestrainedly), “allurophile” (meaning a cat lover), and “tiffin” (meaning a light meal). The conversation was informal and included jokes and playful banter between the participants. Terry's Top 10 List Terry presented a humorous top 10 list of things not to do in swimming pools, including bringing toasters, ducks, practicing shark attacks, filling pools with jello, hosting synchronized swimming alone, using diving boards as catapults, using pools as soup bowls, inviting llamas for swims, fishing in pools, and setting up campfires on pool floats. The group discussed each item with humor, with Keith and Jill’s adding commentary and questions throughout Terry’s presentation. Anchor Topic Keith discussed recent developments in sports accessibility for the blind, including the FIFA app which provides descriptive play-by-play commentary and haptic feedback during games. He also mentioned two opportunities for blind individuals to participate in communications-related initiatives: an online panel about improving Meta glasses and a paid position testing AI through daily activities using a phone app. The discussion highlighted how these technologies help bridge the communication gap for blind sports fans and provide new ways to access and enjoy live events. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared two listener emails featuring humorous family stories. The first email from Joshua Franklin described a situation where his son, hearing his parents discuss leaving town due to financial difficulties, packed his bags and planned to leave as well. The second email from Janet O’Glass told a story about her son telling a bus driver he was five years old, with the boy adding “as soon as I get off the bus.” Keith shared two voicemails during the meeting. The first was about a neighbor whose wife had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, which prompted our anonymous listener to mow the neighbor’s lawn and plant flowers as a gesture of support. The second voicemail, told by “Old Salty Marine,” was a humorous tale about a woman who tried to test a man’s claim that his beer had magical powers. The final word from our AI companion The meeting was a recording session for a comedy podcast where Keith, Terry, and Jill shared jokes and humorous stories. The participants took turns telling jokes covering various topics like relationships, technology, and everyday situations. At the end of the session, Keith provided closing remarks, encouraging listeners to visit their website, share episodes, and submit their own funny stories or questions about blindness. Show notes written by AI, edited as needed by Keith. Sponsored by: Retro Radio Podcast. Bringing you family-friendly entertainment through classic, old-time radio. Episodes are posted daily.

Christians ofevery age have had to contend with the danger of ungodly unbelieversinfiltrating and affecting the Christian community. Jude mixes togetherreassuring theological affirmations of God's love and power with pointedlypoetic attacks on ungodliness and wise practical instructions regarding whatbelievers are to do when they find themselves in such situations. Jim SamraThe Purpose of JudeJude wants his readers to understand who his opponents are, the ecologicaljudgment toward which they are moving, and, by implication, what willhappen to Christians who fall prey to their deceptions. He also gives hisreaders a threefold strategy for coping with the false teachers in the present.• Build yourself up in the most holy faith (v.20a).• Pray in the Holy Spirit (v.20b)• Keep yourself in God's love (v. 21a) Jude builds the strategy on the hope that not only can his readers avoidfalling prey to the false teaching, but that they can rescue other—includingthe false teachers themselves—who are already in its grasp. Frank ThielmanUPG FOCUS: The Yao in Malawi The Yao are a large people group in southeastern Africa, primarily living in Malawi, where most are subsistence farmers and fishermen. Though they identify as Muslim, many blend Islamic practices with traditional spiritual beliefs, creating strong spiritual barriers to the gospel. Despite having Scripture and some outreach efforts, very few follow Christ and the community remains resistant. Pray for those barriers to be broken, for the Word of God to take root, and for a growing movement of believers among the Yao.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 05/24 29,133Giving For 05/31 19,095YTD Budget 1,661,538Giving 1,930,553 OVER/(UNDER) 269,015Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, June 14, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

Summer doesn't slow down for kids ministry — and the pressure to keep going can quietly drain even the best leaders. In this episode, Tom, Ben, and Vicki talk honestly about what summer really feels like: the comparison trap, volunteer fatigue, VBS planning stress, and how to protect your mindset when every other ministry around you seems to be taking a break. You'll walk away with a practical framework to shift from survival mode to sustainable leadership — including the "Day One, Week One" mindset, how life-change stories can re-energize your team, and why working for Jesus changes everything about how you show up. Kids ministry burnout is real. But so is the clarity on the other side of it.

Streaming was delayed until after the conclusion of the Children's VBS program.

This coming Monday we will welcome 60-70 four-year-olds to 4th graders. And the word on the street is that we have a lot more boys signed up than girls, so this sounds like an interesting week for VBS.

ASK A QUESTION - TELL A STORY - CONNECT WITH US This week, Evan, Josh, Michael, and Paxton kick things off with plenty of laughs from VBS week, including church staff confessions about thermostat battles, driving preferences, dishwashing rules, and Josh's surprisingly controversial cake-cutting method. The conversation turns into a fun exploration of the little things people try to control and how those tendencies often reveal something deeper about the way we approach relationships and trust. The group then unpacks Paxton's message, Given in Love, from the Altered series. They discuss why healthy love requires open hands, how fear often fuels control, and what it looks like to bless people rather than try to manage them. Along the way, they reflect on parenting, ministry relationships, difficult life transitions, and the challenge of trusting God with the people we care about most.

Have you ever wondered about how convinced well-known Christians are of their faith? We all know they never doubt, right? Wrong. Today, we're continuing our series on doubt, we are in part two of five. We're talking about doubt all week.A well-known preacher, Charles Spurgeon, once said of doubt, “I think when a man says, ‘I never doubt,' it is quite time for us to doubt him.” Doubt is a fact of life for many of us, although most don't like to admit it. In fact, doubt's mentioned often in the Bible. The Bible's full of great faith stories, but it's interesting to notice that there are plenty of doubters, too. Sarah simply didn't believe God's promise that she and Abraham would have a child. Peter's bravado evaporated when he realized it was dangerous to be known as one of Christ's followers. Job's wife told him he should curse God and die because of his misfortune, and Job wished he'd never been born.Humans can be quirky. Imagine seeing Jesus with your own eyes and watching Him perform miracles. In the Book of Matthew, we read about the apostles with Jesus on a mountain in the Galilee after His resurrection. You can't get more miraculous than that, but it says some doubted. Mark 9:24 says, “Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, “I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief.'” This is the story of a father who sought Jesus to heal his son, and he seemed to believe and to struggle with belief at the same time. Amazing, but not so unusual. As we are learning, doubting is not the worst thing. Keeping silent about it is worse. Seeking God and trusting a friend or friends to talk it through is healthy. God doesn't punish you for doubting.Andrea Lucado, who has been around churches and preachers all her life, understands the struggle. She says, “Most of us at some time or another ask the question, ‘Why do I believe what I believe?'” Those of us who identify as lifelong Christians sometimes have the most doubt. We've grown up in church, memorized scripture, and volunteered at VBS, but that thought, “Why do I believe what I believe,” sometimes hits us in a moment we least expect. There are plenty of resources and plenty of believing friends who have gone through the same thing to see you through this. So, when you're in a season of doubt, remember one thing: you are not alone. Let's pray.Father, doubt comes to us all at some point, and it's then that we need each other the most. We need your spirit to bring us comfort and calm. We thank you that you don't leave us in our time of doubt, but you long to help us through the valley. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

People are glazing over AI-generated content. They are spending less time online. They want interaction, and they are going to find it in live experiences, intimate offline settings, and live streams from real people who actually show up. In this solo episode, Kelly lays out the big picture strategy she has been sharing with her private clients: the marriage of three signature methodologies that she believes will define who wins in the next era of business. The Miracle Hour for 1:1 high-ticket relationship building. Live launch for bringing hundreds of clients in at a time through one-to-many selling. And single sessions that sell as the consistent trigger event mechanism that keeps conversations alive, funnels full, and teams selling every single day. Kelly also breaks down why the live launch became the villain over the last couple of years (and why blaming the methodology instead of identifying the market shift was the mistake that sent so many business owners chasing funnels, evergreen, and other bright shiny objects that never delivered).  The pendulum is swinging back.

What you are about to hear is a REPLAY of the closing session from the Miracle Hour Live Experience: our highest-attendance event to date, that generated close to a million dollars in wins from participants in the 48 hours that followed. If you have been wondering whether the Miracle Hour actually works in the real world, in real time, for real business owners across every industry, this limited-time episode is your answer. In this session, Kelly and Danielle, President of Kelly Roach International, go deep on the offer and sales strategy questions that came pouring in from attendees. They cover why most business owners do not actually have a sales problem, they have an inconsistency in communication problem. They break down what trust building offers are and are not, what lazy low ticket looks like versus a high caliber client-centric offer that brings 30, 50, and 100K clients out of the woodwork. And they pull back the curtain on exactly how the Virtual Business School is being rebuilt for the activation era, with live weekly Miracle Hour sessions, Closing Mastery with Kelly every month, and a community-led growth model inside Kajabi. This is a raw, real, in-the-room replay of one of the most valuable sessions Kelly has delivered publicly in years. And it is only available on the podcast for a limited time. If you have been sitting on a library of relationships you have not been tapping into, selling something the market is not buying without knowing why, or if you have been chasing top of funnel while all the money is sitting at the bottom: this session will change how you run your business starting today.

Everyone is racing to use more AI... and that is exactly why it will not be your competitive advantage. Within months, every business online will be leveraging AI to the max. The tools will be everywhere. The playing field will be level. And when that bubble bursts, all that will be left is what truly differentiates you: your humanness, your relationships, and your ability to activate real outcomes for real people. In this week's episode, Kelly shares exactly how she is rebuilding the Virtual Business School for the activation era, and why the changes she is making run completely counter to what most business owners are doing right now. While everyone else is bragging online about cutting their teams and replacing them with AI, Kelly is staffing up. While everyone else is adding more modules and more information to their programs, Kelly is stripping it down to live activation, community, and results generated in real time. This episode is a blueprint for any business owner thinking about how to evolve their products, programs, and services for the new era, and a clear look at where the real opportunity is as AI continues to reshape how people buy, spend their time, and decide who to trust.
