Yeah. How mature of you. Thanks. Well, I mean, I think it helped that I had just come off of, like, the whole swinging scandal and all of that. So you realize that all of that isn't really like what it's cracked up to be and like, what's worth it and what's not. And so I think I was very much like, jaded by the online scrutiny and all of that, that I'm like, I don't know that sacrificing my peace, you know, when I would just fought for my life for a few years and like, I don't know that I'm ready to subject myself to that again.(08:38) - Season three especially showed like real fractures, particularly between Letitia and Kate... But did you and Layla feel like pulled into that? Oh for sure, but there is a there's also so many other like components to that whole situation that it wasn't even necessarily just like, you know, the, the Kate in Latvia of it all… And so I think in order to really protect, like my co-parent relationship and like my own piece, I think like her relationship with Chase, like got to a point where I like, needed to like just set a strict boundary and just be like like, I don't want to hear about either one of you from either one of you, like, figure your stuff out. But like, I'm, I like it's too much for me because it was just hard because I would hear things from Kate, and then I would ask Chase about it and he's like, no, that's not at all what happened. (20:20) - I want to know if we're going to see more of your romantic life, like, is there anything you can tease in that area? Are you dating anyone? Do we get to see it? I'm not dating anyone… Yeah, I think I think that's exactly where I'm like, I feel for sure like the most authentic version of myself that I've been. And so I'm like, I and I feel at peace with like being single right now. So I'm like, I'm open to love, but I'm not really like, I don't really care enough. Right now to go, like out of my way to search for it.(24:24) - And then the swinging storyline, like obviously changed everything. Like, I don't want you to feel like I'm saying this for you to say yes. I'm curious, though, if you regret that chapter or if you're like, that's just how life goes and that's how it had to happen…(29:24) - There must've been like a tiny feeling of betrayal for? I mean, I'm asking you, I guess, were you already emotionally detached? To me, like it had nothing to do with the, like. Any feelings for Chase? Like, I was, like, so far beyond that at this point… Like, y'all can do, like what you want, but I'm, I like, I'm not giving you access to that headspace anymore. Yeah. And that's really what it was about.(30:57) - I want to know how Chase would feel if you were ever to become a Bachelorette. Because now we know we can have a crossover world of Mormon wives and Bachelorette. So. And I think fans are obsessed with the idea of you being the Bachelorette. So would what would he feel and would you ever consider it?... I don't know, I would be open to it for sure. I think it would be very like like I said, I don't have a ton of dating experience, so it would for sure be an intimidating experience for me, but I'd be open to it for sure.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So I feel like it's kind of for reality tv, cuz I'm like okay whatever.(7:37) - Does it ever feel limiting to be perceived as the emotionally mature one? Do you feel like you've always gotta be that? I do. I think last season probably because when it did come out I had just given birth. And so when I think sometimes seeing the criticism online being like, “oh she used to be my favorite but like, she's actually just a mean girl”, I'm like okay. Certain things like that… you try filming 12-hour days while this pregnant.(8:44) - In season four we see - there's always so many dynamics of course - but you wrote a book and it was very important to you. And some people showed up, and some people didn't. Do you see more context and perspective now that you've watched back Whitney missing your book launch? Oh yea. And I can't remember how that was edited.. I wasn't upset at all. I don't know if it was perceived that way, but I wasn't upset at all in that moment, because Whitney called me crying the night before…(10:08) - Do you feel like it healed some wounds for you? I think for sure. I think - yea writing it over time, it was definitely difficult. Because when I was writing it we were filming too… sharing this story to help others is why I wrote this to begin with.(11:11) - I was in an abusive relationship, and then I went from that abusive relationship to another one where I got pregnant, and then my son's father passed away when I was pregnant. And so going through the grief but also recovering from an abusive relationship… (40:08) - There's a lot of coming of age stories, like I'm talking about making out with my boyfriend for the first time and what's going on with my body and things that aren't typically talked about. I think I shared it because yea it's funny, it's silly, but it's also because growing up in a very conservative, religious household, it wasn't talked about. Like I thought I was like dying or something. I was like what's wrong with me? Am I gonna to die?

The Art of Leaning In… We treat waiting like a spiritual waiting room—stale coffee, old magazines, and a lot of boredom. But in the Kingdom, waiting isn't passive; it's aggressive. It's the process of binding our weakness to God's strength. In the finale of our Beautiful Things series, we're looking at the story of Mary and Martha to discover the "One Thing" that changes everything. If you've been feeling like a "leaky bucket" lately, come learn the difference between the hustle of the world and the rhythm of the Vine.

On this Sunday afternoon, I decided to pass the mic to someone very special—my 84-year-old grandfather, Willie Hubbard Sr..With decades of life experience, faith, perseverance, and lessons learned, my grandfather shared reflections that remind us of the value of listening to our elders and honoring the wisdom that comes with time.This moment isn't just about family—it's about legacy, gratitude, and starting the week grounded in perspective.At Lesson in Everyday, we believe wisdom lives in everyday conversations, and sometimes the greatest teachers are sitting right at our own tables.Blog: https://bluetbutterfly.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/passing-the-mic-to-my-grandfather/[Background Music: All Rights Reserved by DJ D'Vine.

Send a textFruitful“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing… This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. John 15:5,8You will know them by their fruits… Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. Matt 7:16-17Jesus didn't ask us to wear a costume  so we look right, but to crucify our flesh.How pleased do you think Gods with the quality of your fruit?How pleased do you think God is with the quantity of your fruit?“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5Jesus is the vine           I am the branch.

What if the reason we feel stuck isn't a lack of effort, but the wrong target? We take a hard look at moralism—the checklist faith that rushes people through spiritual “levels”—and show why it can't heal the heart. Instead, we trace a slower, deeper path where sin is seen as disordered love and distrust of God, and where union with Christ restores what rules cannot.We start by challenging the fast-track myth and naming pride as the root that feeds so many branches of sin. From there, we reframe three everyday struggles—envy, wrath, and greed—through a practical, pastoral lens. Envy often hides a lie about God's love; we counter it by celebrating others from a place of secure affection in Christ. Wrath thrives on control and vengeance; meekness becomes strength under God's justice, refusing to multiply harm. Greed promises security through possession; generosity, sourced in Jesus rather than habit, trains our trust and loosens our grip. Along the way, we explore how culture normalizes the “religion of self,” why private choices aren't really private in a communal body, and how virtues lose power when detached from the Vine.My hope is that this podcast helps grow your faith and equips you to accomplish your dreams and goals!Follow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookFollow me on TikTok

In this Lenten message from John 15, Pastor Sean reflects on Jesus' image of the vine and branches and the often difficult process of pruning in the Christian life. As a gardener cares for a vine so it can bear more fruit, God sometimes removes things that once felt meaningful or life-giving. Through personal story and reflection, this message invites us to consider what it looks like to remain connected to Christ through seasons of change and letting go. Rather than striving to produce growth on our own, we're reminded that lasting fruit grows from staying rooted in Jesus and learning to love one another well.

John 15:18-25,18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin,[a] but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without a cause.'We continue in our journey on this Thursday night, the longest Thursday night in history, and Jesus is preparing his men, and us, for the storm. As the cross approaches, the God-man speaks with new clarity and striking self-focus. Fourteen times in this passages Jesus says I, me, and my. These are not passing, incidental references; it's an emphasis.And the effect of this emphasis is to help us. This is love. We've seen how chapter 15 is like a battlefield speech. Jesus is getting his men ready for hell to break loose. And when the world's hatred shakes Jesus's disciples, the greatest danger isn't death. The greatest danger is falling away from Jesus.So, he gets us ready: stay with me, stay in the Vine, and bear fruit. Love each other, with an expansive love that longs to draw others in. And as you expand outward in love to be Jesus's instrument to bring others to him, and make room for others, be ready to encounter the world's hatred.The world's hate contrasts with Jesus's repeated summons to love (13:34–35; 15:12, 17). His disciples move toward the world in love and find themselves met with hatred. And notably absent is any sense of responding in kind. The implication is, keep loving even as your efforts to love are met with hatred.Why would the world hate Christians?Which raises the question, for Jesus's disciples and for us: Why would the world hate Christians?You might feel this very personally: Why would I be hated? I'm a Minnesotan. I'm nice. I don't want to upset people. I want them to be happy, and I've found in Jesus the great Treasure. I want others to know Jesus. Jesus is love, and teaches love. Why would someone hate me for that?It's an important question. And Jesus wants us to know why, and he wants us to know how to handle it. That's our focus this morning: Why would the world hate Christians, and what are we to do about it?We'll begin with the why, which is both simple, and has some layers to it. And we'll end with Jesus's two directives about how to handle it.The World Hates JesusAt one level, Jesus's answer is simple: the world hates you because the world hates me. Jesus is the focus. The followers of Jesus are hated because they are followers of Jesus. And the world hates Jesus. Listen again how Jesus is the focus of verses 18–21, with it all culminating at “on account of my name”:If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you…. 20 Remember the word that I said to you [in 13:16]: ‘A servant is not greater than his master [that is, Lord].' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But all these things [hate you, persecute you, disregard your word] they will do to you on account of my name…“On account of my name” means because of me and what they think about me. They are mistaken, in some sense, as we'll see. But they know some true things about him, and what they know they don't like. Actually, they hate. It may often come out as dislike or indifference, but deep in the soul, it is hatred. (Their speech may be smooth as butter, yet war is in their heart, Psalm 55:21).So, Jesus says, the world hates you because it hates me. That's his simple answer and focus.Why Does the World Hate Jesus?But there's another layer. You can also ask, Why does the world hate Jesus? Verses 22 and 24:If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin…. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.The world hates Jesus because he, in a new way, exposes the sinfulness of their sin.Now, we need to say more about “world.” What does “world” mean here? This is not the world of Genesis 1–2, the world created by God and untainted by sin. This is the world of Genesis 3 and since, the world under the power of sin (“the created moral order in active rebellion against God,” Carson). This “world in rebellion” is the world in view in John 3:16: “God loved the world” — the world of sinners, set in opposition to God, loving sin, not loving him —God loved this hellbent, rebellious world in this way: “he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” That's love. And God's love in giving his Son is all the more stunning because the world he loved was the world dead set against him.That's the world in our passage: the world in love with sin, the world that hates God. No wonder such a world would hate Jesus. Jesus is God incarnate. He comes as the light, shining in the darkness. And in the light of his words and his works, the true nature of sin is exposed. The sin was there before he came, when the Light himself comes, then sin is exposed like never before, and seen to be what it is: an assault on God himself. There were lights for the exposing of sin before Jesus came: the light of nature, the light of Moses and the prophets. But the coming of Christ, the true light, so surpasses the previous lights, that his coming ushers in a whole new day. Yes, there was some light before, but the light of Christ is so strong, so pure, so bright, it's as if the previous lights hardly shone. Like twinkling stars at night compared the sun when day comes. And when Jesus comes, the sinfulness of sin becomes apparent: sin is rebellion against God. Hatred of God. Preferring of other things to God is cosmic treason. Longing for and loving created things over the Creator himself is treason.And remember, it's Thursday night. There will be no more outrageous display of the sinfulness of sin than when sinners conspire to put God himself to death the next day. The cross is the ultimate exposé of human sin: sin is an attack on God.So, why does the world hate Jesus? Because he exposes the true nature of sin, and takes away excuses for sin. That's one layer.No Longer “of the World”But Jesus gives us another layer in verse 19, for why the world hates Christians:If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.Jesus has talked before about choosing his disciples (John 6:70; 13:18), and as recently as verse 15:“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide…”It's not that the disciples first chose Jesus; he chose them. They were once of the world. They were born in rebellion against God. They loved darkness rather than light. Yet, Jesus took the decisive step to pluck them out from the world, and make them his own.But the sinful world, in rebellion against God, loves its own who love sin, not God, and affirm sin and celebrate sin. But when Jesus plucks his disciples out from the world, the world doesn't like that. The world hates that. And I know many in this room have experienced that hatred very personally.Jesus chose you. He opened your eyes. You came to faith in him and began to follow him — and your old friends or your family didn't like it. Maybe they kept up a veneer of Minnesota nice, and you didn't sense any deep hatred, but Jesus is telling us here what was, what is, going on: the world in its sin, with guilt-ridden conscience, desperately craves the affirmation of its sin, and fears the exposure of the sinfulness of its sin — and it hates when its fellows in darkness see the Light.This hatred can be stirred when we're plucked out, or when we refuse go back in, as 1 Peter 4:3–4 says,the time that is past [now that the Light has come] suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you [speak evil of you, say things that make you look bad].Yet, what's the posture of our hearts to be like in moments like this, when the veneer comes off, and hatred begins to seep out? We don't hate them in return. But we remember we were there, but for the grace of God. We were “of the world,” but Jesus drew us out. So, we have the spirit of Titus 3, which calls us…to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us… (Titus 3:1–5)The World Does Not Know the FatherWhich brings us to one last layer, the bottom layer, for why the world hates Jesus. Now, we pick up the final pieces:The end of verse 21: “because they do not know him who sent me.”Verse 23: “Whoever hates me hates my Father also.”End of verse 24: “now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.”The world's love for sin, and hatred of Jesus, shows that they do not know the Father.This is true of all who do not know Jesus: they do not know God. There are no “good people” who are honestly mistaken about God and not culpable in their sin. They may hide their hatred of the Father well (with speech smooth as butter), but if they are not in Jesus, they do not know God; and they will be “gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned” (John 15:6).This is an exclusivist bottom layer. You know that term “exclusivist”? It means, as Jesus says here, he is the exclusive way to God. There aren't other ways around him or apart from him. Jesus is the Word, the revelation, of the one God who made this world, and over and against whom the world stands in its sin. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Jews who reject Jesus as Messiah do not find other paths to God. Jesus is the one way, the one God provided, and all who reject Jesus reject the only God. So, in Jesus's words in verse 23 is a condemnation of all world religions, including secularism, except for the one Jesus brings.Which lands on the world as profoundly offensive. And lands on Jesus's people, who know themselves sinners and undeserving, as the best news in the world: you mean there's a way! In my sin, in my guilt, in my weakness, there's a way!So, we have the focus of the world's hate and the layers. The world of darkness hates Christians because it hates Jesus, the light. And it hates Jesus because he exposes the sinfulness of sin. And it hates his people because Jesus chose them out of the world. And at bottom, the world hates Jesus, and his people, because the world does not know the Father.So, what do we do about it? Jesus clearly means for verses 18–25 to have an emotional effect on us. There are six ifs in this section, which makes it read almost like poetry, with a rhetorical effect. Jesus wants us to be ready for the world's hate, and stay with him and love one another — and keep endeavoring to expand the circle of our love.In these verses are two imperatives, two commands, that lead us to what Jesus wants us to do about the world's hate. So, he's told us the why, with its focus and layers. Now what to do: he wants us to know in verse 18, and to remember in verse 20. So, know what? Remember what?1. Know this: the world hated Jesus first.What's that do? It helps us get ready. The world hated Jesus, so much so it put him to death; and we're his, we're with him. We should expect the world's hate, know it's coming, and not be surprised by it.The effect of the if in verse 18 is far more like a when: When the world hates you, and it does. The end of verse 19 says, “the world hates you.” Verse 20: they will persecute you. So, 1 John 3:13 says, “Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you.” That's what Jesus is doing here: keeping us from getting caught off guard. Like 1 Peter 4:12:Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you…And to help us in John 15, verse 25, Jesus draws in a line from Psalm 69: “they hated me without cause.” Psalm 69 is King David, “a righteous sufferer who is zealous for God but is persecuted by God's enemies for no good reason” (ESVSB). This is true of Jesus. And it will be true of us who are his.And critical to the pattern of Psalm 69 being true about Jesus, and being true about us, is that we don't give the haters any good reason.Twin dangers face us once we learn that the world, at bottom, hates Jesus, and hates us: we could try to avoid their hate or provoke it. As thoughtful members of a society, it's easy to figure out the fault lines between Jesus and the world — and we can easily avoid them or easily provoke them. Knowing that the world's hate is coming doesn't mean we seek to dodge it, nor that we try to prompt it. It's there, and it's coming; don't let the world's hatred steal the agenda one way or another.There's a vast difference between expecting it and trying to excite it. I expect the government to want more of my money, but I don't try to excite it. And there's a world of difference between the holy, Christlike expectation of the world's hate, and unholy, un-Christian attempts to excite the world's hate. Cities Church, we wanna be the right kinda hated. We are hated, and will be hated, and we want it to be for the reasons they hate Jesus, not because we're fools on Jesus's terms just as much as the world's.Contagious zeal for Jesus that accumulates detractors on account of him is one thing. Learning how to enrage people and garnish it with Jesus's name is another. And worse yet is falling away from Jesus because of his haters.So, know this: the world hated him first. We expect the world to hate us too. And we're pleasantly surprised and don't try to sabotage it, when the hatred ebbs at times.2. Remember this: Jesus is great.I love verse 20: Jesus says, “Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.'” Which is not mainly about the lowliness of the servant, but about the greatness of Jesus.Don't miss this: Jesus is great. Remember this, he says: your Lord is great. Which may sound simple but is powerful.In 1856, Charles Spurgeon was preaching to more than 10,000 people in a packed-out hall when agitators interrupted the service by yelling fire. A stampede ensued, and seven were trampled to death; thirty were seriously injured. In the horror of it all, Spurgeon suffered a severe emotional breakdown, and the event left a mark on him the rest of his life. He faced critics, (haters) and went into depression over it. Years later he testified,I was pressed beyond measure and out of bounds with an enormous weight of misery. The tumult, the panic, the deaths, were day and night before me, and made life a burden.How did God rescue him? He says, From that [nightmare] I was awakened in a moment by the gracious application to my soul of the text, “Him hath God the Father exalted” (“God has highly exalted him,” Philippians 2:9). The fact that Jesus is still great, let his servants suffer as they may, piloted me back to calm reason and peace. (Lectures to My Students, 162 [1954])There it is: “Jesus is still great.” Seven are dead, thirty seriously injured. But Jesus is still great. When the storm comes, look for the greatness of Jesus.When for his sake, you sense their hate,Remember that your Lord is great.And part of that greatness is that you get to be with him. What holds John 15 together is that you're with him, on his side. Hated with him means loved by him! And united to him! You're with Jesus! Enjoy him.Cross of Hate and LoveIt's heavy to spend a whole sermon dwelling on the world's hate for Jesus, and for us. But then we come to this Table. The cross is a demonstration of the world's hate. Sinners conspired together to put God to death. And the cross is the ultimate demonstration of love. “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

#925. Carl Radke has lived much of his life in front of the world.

2016，十年前的我們真的比較快樂嗎？那時候社群還沒被演算法綁架，戀愛文化也很不一樣；現在27歲，面對的壓力與焦慮卻完全不同。 是我們真的長大了，還是只是現在想太多？ Was 2016 actually better — or were we just younger? Ten years ago, social media wasn't fully taken over by algorithms, dating culture felt different, and the pressure of being 27 today hits in a completely new way. Are we actually more mature now — or just overthinking everything?

A Frank Sinatra hit song, a COVID-era mask callback, and a brutally smelly airplane converge into one uncomfortable truth: spiritual independence sounds great…until it doesn't. The guys center on John 15 and the difference between staying connected to the source of life and slowly drifting into spiritual decay. Along the way, they land on two words they argue may be the most important in all of Scripture and figure out how to become best friends with Jesus.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon taught from John 15 and offered a different diagnosis for burnout. While our instinct is often to assume we've simply given too much, he challenged us with another possibility: the problem isn't output but source. We haven't been drawing from the right one. When Jesus calls himself the True Vine, it's one of the most sweeping claims He ever makes. From that foundation, Pastor Jon walked through what abiding actually looks like. It's not about a longer quiet time or more spiritual disciplines, it's about a relationship. Using his own early days dating his now-wife, Christy, as an illustration, he reminded us that abiding is less about effort and more about the security and overflow of a relationship you're already in. That's the kind of intimacy Jesus is inviting us into, and for those who remain in His love and rely on the Spirit's power, the promise is fruit that lasts.

In this episode of Next in Media, Mike Shields sits down with Leanne Perice, founder and CEO of Made by All, one of the creator economy's most distinctive talent management firms. Leanne shares how she built the company from the ground up over nine years, starting with a single $1,000 deal in 2014 and growing it into a global powerhouse that doubles revenue year over year. She explains how her early career at a celebrity endorsement agency gave her the blueprint for what great talent management looks like, and how she applied those lessons to an entirely new generation of digital creators. From signing Vine stars before the term 'creator economy' even existed, to opening a new office in Dubai, Leanne has built Made by All on the belief that creators deserve the same strategic investment as Hollywood's biggest names. Leanne also introduces her framework DASI (Distribution, Attention, Storytelling, and Impact) to explain what creators truly offer brands, and why so many marketers are still only tapping into the first letter. She opens up about the CMO turnover crisis slowing momentum in the creator space, why she launched Made by Us as a social storytelling studio, and why she believes YouTube's long-form monetization is the best opportunity in the market right now. She also gives her take on platforms like YouTube and TikTok brokering brand deals directly, the collision of Hollywood and Silicon Valley financial models, and what brands still get wrong about building a presence on social media. This episode is a must-listen for anyone at the intersection of media, marketing, and the creator economy.   Key Highlights

This week, Jason is joined by the hilarious Corporate Bro, Ross Pomerantz!He is someone who has lived in the high pressure, high performance world of corporate fiance and selling at Oracle and actually has the scars and stories to prove it. Ross brings a real unfiltered hilarious perspective in what enterprise sales really looks like behind the scenes. From ambition and burnout to the funny trade-offs nobody talks about unless you're deep in it, he is covering it all. He is a speaker, investor, entrepreneur, and massive creator. Ross breaks down everything from playing two seasons of Single-A pro baseball to selling luxury apartments in Oakland during Occupy Wall Street, and the identity shift from athlete to enterprise sales at Oracle. He shares what it was like training to cold call, navigating an identity crisis, and clarifying that “Corporate Bro” was always meant to satirize the industry — not glorify it — after getting his start on Vine in 2013. We dive into spending a decade in sales before business school, negotiating lessons, trusting timing, and earning admission to Stanford, along with the fear of fully committing to content creation and how he scripts and produces highly shareable videos with his team. He also talks about appearing in a Super Bowl commercial alongside Matthew McConaughey for Salesforce, leveraging opportunities on LinkedIn, his speaking business, co-hosting a podcast with Corporate Natalie, angel investing, building alongside his wife, and what's next.Ross reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Host: Jason TartickCo-Host: David ArduinAudio: John GurneyGuest: Corporate Bro Ross PomerantzStay connected with the Trading Secrets Podcast! Instagram: @tradingsecretspodcast Youtube: Trading SecretsFacebook: Join the GroupTrading Secrets Steals & Deals!Momentous:Momentous Fiber+ addresses one of the most overlooked foundations of long-term performance: gut health.

In this episode, Josiah and Micah sit down with Pastor Josh Dillon from New Life Church, Colorado, to talk about calling, hidden seasons, and building a healthy, intergenerational young adult ministry. Josh shares his story of walking away from God, encountering Jesus again in late high school, and the 7–8 year journey from sensing a call to finally stepping into pastoral ministry. Together they unpack how to engage 18–29-year-olds, raise the bar for leadership without losing people, and invite older generations into the discipleship story.

If you've ever felt the tension of following Jesus in a world that keeps pulling you to conform, this message is for you. In Week 3 of Misfit Mindset, we unpack what it really means to live different on purpose. Rooted in Psalm 143:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17–21, and John 15, this teaching explores the powerful truth that identity comes before activity and that in order to do the will of God, we must first learn to abide in Him. We are not working for acceptance but from it. We are ambassadors of Christ, called to represent Him in a culture that often moves the opposite direction. This message will challenge you to rethink your relationship with God, stir your affection for Him, and discover how to stay connected to the Vine so real spiritual fruit can grow. If you want to understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, walk in your new identity in Christ, and live a life that truly reflects the gospel, lean in and watch to the end.   Did you accept Christ today?
