Most leaders have no clear, single picture of how AI is actually being used inside their organization. In this solo episode, host Susan Diaz walks through a practical, human-first AI audit you can run in weeks (not years) to map tools, workflows, adoption patterns, and risks - so your AI strategy isn't built on vibes and vendor decks. Episode summary This episode tackles a simple but uncomfortable question: "Do you actually know what's happening with AI inside your organisation right now?" Not what vendors say. Not what a slide in a strategy deck says. What people are really doing - with official tools, embedded features, and personal accounts. Susan breaks down a four-part AI literacy audit that gives leaders a coherent baseline: Tools - Which AI-powered tools are already in play, where AI is embedded in existing platforms, and where spend and capabilities overlap. Workflows - Where AI is already changing how work is done, which tasks are automated or accelerated, and which manual processes are obvious candidates for support. Adoption patterns - Who's confident, who's dabbling, who's avoiding AI entirely, and how evenly (or unevenly) AI usage is distributed across teams and levels. Risks and blind spots - Shadow AI, unsanctioned tools, data exposure, governance gaps, and the places where "nothing's gone wrong… yet" is not a strategy. She then walks through a step-by-step approach to running an audit without turning it into a year-long consulting project, and shows how to turn your findings into training, workflow redesign, and a credible AI ROI story. Key takeaways If you skip the audit, you're flying blind. Without a baseline, every AI decision - platforms, pilots, hiring, training - is a shot in the dark based on guesswork and anecdotes. A good AI audit is four-dimensional, not just a tools list. You need to understand tools, workflows, adoption patterns, and risk/gaps together if you want a true picture of AI activity. The hidden costs of "no audit": Duplicate spend on overlapping tools in different departments. Shadow AI and data risk from personal accounts and unsanctioned apps. Wasted efficiency gains because great use cases stay trapped in individual heads and folders. No convincing story of AI ROI for your CFO, board, or leadership. Think of the audit like an MRI, not a court case. The goal is visibility, not blame. If people feel they'll be punished for experimenting, they'll simply stop telling you the truth. You can run a meaningful audit in five practical steps: Listen - Short surveys + focused interviews with department heads, AI champions, and sceptics. Map tools and spend - Inventory official tools, quiet add-ons, free/low-cost apps, and personal subscriptions used for work. Document workflows - Pick priority functions (often marketing, HR, sales, ops) and map how work gets done today, then mark where AI shows up or could. Assess risk and governance - Where does confidential data touch AI? What's policy on paper vs in practice? Where are the biggest gaps? Build an opportunity backlog - Quick wins, experiments, and longer-term projects that emerge from the audit. Your audit output should be short and usable, not a 90-slide graveyard: An executive summary with top risks, opportunities, and 3/6/12-month priorities. A tool + workflow map that shows overlaps, gaps, and shadow usage. A risk and governance section with clear start / stop / continue recommendations. An opportunity backlog that can plug into project management and resourcing. Don't make it an IT-only exercise. AI touches how people think and work across functions. The audit should be leadership-backed and cross-functional, not dropped on a single department. The audit is the bridge, not the endpoint. Once you can see what's happening, you can design training, governance, workflow changes, and ROI tracking that match reality instead of hopes. Episode highlights [00:02] "Do you know exactly what's happening with AI inside your organisation right now?" [01:10] Why an AI audit should come before platforms, hires, or big training programmes. [03:18] Reframing audits: from "innovation killers" to foundations for better decisions. [04:00] The four dimensions of an AI literacy audit: tools, workflows, adoption, risk/blind spots. [05:24] Questions to ask about tools: what's in play, where AI is embedded, where teams overlap. [04:52–05:24] Questions to ask about workflows: where AI is changing work, what's automated, what's still painfully manual. [05:24–06:56] Mapping adoption patterns: power users, dabblers, avoiders, and distribution across departments and levels. [06:56] Shadow AI, unsanctioned tools, and governance gaps as audit essentials. [07:23] Why a single coherent picture of AI activity becomes your baseline for everything that follows. [07:54–10:28] Four costs of skipping the audit: duplicate spend, risk, wasted gains, and weak ROI stories. [10:51–13:03] Step 1 + 2: listening through surveys and interviews, then mapping tools and spend without turning it into a witch hunt. [13:03–14:22] Step 3: documenting workflows in priority functions and spotting patterns. [14:22–15:40] Step 4 + 5: assessing risk/governance and surfacing quick wins + deeper opportunities. [16:15–17:47] What a practical audit output looks like (and why it shouldn't die in a folder). [18:16–18:57] Common traps: making it IT-only, punitive, or overcomplicated. [19:56–21:10] Turning audit insights into training, governance, workflow redesign, and credible ROI tracking. If your current AI strategy rests on vendor promises, scattered pilots, and vibes, this episode is your sign to step back. Share it with: The exec who keeps getting asked for AI ROI. The IT or ops lead worried about shadow AI but unsure where to start. The internal AI champion who's been documenting everything in a lonely Notion doc. Then ask as a leadership team: "What would it take for us to have a clear, one-page picture of AI activity across this organisation in the next 60 days?"

How do you find hope when life unexpectedly thrusts you into the valley of loss? How do you navigate the rugged terrain of pain?For Nothing is Wasted's Podcast Producer and Content Director, Catherine Fitzgerald, the heartbreak and trauma of losing her brother, Zac, plunged her into a valley unlike anything she had ever experienced. In the aftermath came secondary losses of community and identity and a spiritual desolation that felt like a dark night of the soul. She found herself wondering how she would ever find her way back to faith.And yet, God met her there—through the book of Psalms and through the stories of others, like Davey Blackburn—offering a glimmer of light to guide her toward hope.Now, in Nothing is Wasted's latest project, Catherine has gathered and edited a collection of stories from past podcast guests, Nothing is Wasted Coaches, and team members. Each story weaves together personal journeys through pain, loss, and trauma with reflections on the Psalms, forming a powerful new devotional—Hope in the Valley: 42 Days of Healing Through the Psalms After Loss, Grief, and Tragedy.In this episode, Davey and Catherine look back on their own stories and their shared journey through Nothing is Wasted. Together, they explore how loss reshapes every part of our lives, the often messy wrestle for hope, and why stories are such a vital part of nurturing faith in the valley of pain.If you've ever believed that hope simply means “looking on the bright side,” this conversation will remind you that true hope is far more complex—gritty, raw, and worth fighting for. And often, it's the stories of others that become our most powerful weapon in that fight.

"The mind is like water. When it's turbulent, it's hard to see. When it's calm, everything becomes clear." — Kobe Bryant  Kobe Bryant was definitely onto something when he spoke those words. If you're not in control of your commitments and have no idea what needs to be done next, you're going to be stressed. And stress, like turbulent water, makes it hard to see where you should be spending your time.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Join the Time And Life Mastery Programme here.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  What's the point of learning how to be more productive and to be better at managing our time? Are we not just shuffling work around—work that will need to be done at some point anyway? Well, yes and no.  Historically, people went to work, often in factories, where they performed repetitive manual labour. When their workday finished, they “downed tools”, clocked out and went home. As there were no TVs or smartphones, people often played cards or board games with their families, read books or went to the pub.  It was easy to leave work at work. It was easy to manage our time. There was personal time and work time, and the two did not mix.  Today, it's very different. Most of you listening to this podcast will likely be working in what is commonly called “knowledge work' jobs. You're not hired for your muscles. You're hired for your brain.  And this causes us a problem. Manual labour meant you did a hard day's work, and when you went home, you could forget about work. In knowledge work, it's not so easy to stop your brain from thinking about a work problem.  I remember when I worked in a law firm, I caught the bus home and often spent most of the journey thinking about an issue with a client and trying to figure out the simplest way to solve the problem. In the past, people would have looked forward to getting home to their families. When you're mentally distracted in that way, it's hard for you to switch off and enjoy that time with your family and friends.  Today, it also means there's no barrier—except our own willpower—to sending an email or a Teams message at any time of the day or night.  In the past, the factory gates were locked, or someone else was doing your job on the night shift. It wasn't possible to work beyond your regular working hours. Time management was much easier. Not so today. And that nicely leads us to this week's question. And that means it's time to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice. This week's question comes from Michael. Michael asks, Hi Carl, I've spent years struggling with time management, and it's got to the point where I think there's no point. As hard as I try, there's always something that needs to be done, and I never get a chance to finish anything and end up with everything being urgent. Is there any point to all this time management and productivity stuff?   Hi Michael, thank you for your question.  In many respects, you might be right that managing time, or at least trying to, is a waste of time. (I think there might be a pun there)  As I alluded to, with knowledge work and the explosion of communication tools over the last few years, things that could have waited a day or two now seem to have to be dealt with immediately.  It's not that the task is suddenly urgent; it's a combination of people's expectations and the delivery system.  The problem here is that no matter how fast the delivery system becomes—or other people's expectations— we are human. We can still only do one thing at a time. That is not going to change in our lifetime.  And that's where to start—understanding that you, as an individual, can only work on one thing at a time.  In other words, if you have ten equally urgent messages to reply to, you're going to have to choose which one to respond to first.  Now, you could come up with a complex, convoluted system for deciding which message to respond to first, or you could adopt a more straightforward first-in-first-out approach. Start with the oldest and work your way through your list of messages.  What are we talking about here—perhaps a ten-minute delay for you to get to a particular message? Does ten minutes really matter? You're not trying to save someone's life in an emergency room, are you?  Messages are often more time-sensitive than emails, and I find that responding to them between work sessions works best.  For instance, if you were to protect 9:30 to 11:30 am for focused work. That's two hours where you are technically not available. Once you finish that session, check your messages and respond to any that require a response.  When I set these barriers of doing undisturbed, focused work for two hours a day, I used to panic every time my phone dinged. I felt I had to respond immediately. Of course, that was not true. It never was, and it's still not true for any of us today.  It took a few weeks to wean myself off panicking every time a message came in, but the results were fantastic. My productivity went through the roof, leading to fewer urgent tasks.  Our brains are not good at handling interruptions to the flow of work. I've seen studies showing that even a minor interruption can take you up to 18 minutes to refocus and get back to where you were before.  Think about that for a moment. Even if you were taking ten minutes to refocus and getting an average of six interruptions per day, you've lost an hour. Or to put it into a better perspective, that's 12 ½ per cent of your work day gone. Wasted. By responding to messages between work sessions, you avoid losing focus and get more work done in less time.  And it's there that you will find fewer urgent tasks to do. Because you are getting more done in less time, you will be able to stay on top of projects and other work without getting too close to the deadline.  Another area that can make us feel that managing our time is a waste of time is focusing on the number of tasks rather than the time we have available. Again, this is linked to the fragility of being human. We are affected by how much sleep we get, our mood, and our diet.  Have a bad night's sleep, then a fight with your kids over the breakfast table and a sugary doughnut as a midmorning snack, and you're not going to get a lot of work done.  You have a sleep debt, you're worked up by the argument, and that doughnut is going to give you a massive energy crash.  This is why estimating how long a task will take is challenging.  I've been writing a 1,000-word blog post every week for around ten years now. You'd think I would be able to estimate reasonably accurately how long writing 1,000 words would take after writing over 500 blog posts. Ha! No chance. Some days I can write the first draft in forty-five minutes, other days it can take me two hours.  The biggest effect on how long it will take me is sleep. If I get my seven hours, I know it'll take me less than an hour. Less than six hours, and I'm struggling to do it in two hours.  A better approach is to allocate time for doing groups of linked tasks. For example, group all your actionable emails and set aside 40 to 60 minutes at the end of the day to deal with them.  This way, it doesn't matter how many emails you have to act on; you do as many as you can in the time you have.  If you're doing this every day, you'll soon find you have no email backlogs. What amazes me is the people who try this for a few days and give up because their huge backlog of actionable emails is not getting significantly smaller. Well, of course not. If you're starting with six hundred actionable emails, it's going to take you a long time to get that under control.  What you could do is set aside a one-off period to get that backlog under control first. Then set a time each day to keep it under control.  Or make sure you have a “net-gain” with your responses. For instance, if you get 20 actionable emails in a day, respond to at least 21. That's a net gain. If you do that consistently over a few weeks, your backlog of actionable emails will reduce significantly.  You're not going to lose the holiday weight you gained in a few days. It might have only taken you a few days to gain that weight, but it's going to take you a few weeks, if not months, to lose it. (Life's tough, isn't it?)  Most of the reasons why so many people quit making necessary changes, whether in their work or personal life, are linked to the initial difficulty of change.  All change is difficult at first. You're changing. But soon that change becomes your norm, and then it becomes easy. It becomes “just what you do”.  There's a time and place for the things you want to or must do. This is where your calendar comes into play.  Scheduling time for play, rest and exercise is just as important as scheduling meetings with your clients or boss. Trouble is, we don't do that. We prioritise work over other essential things in our lives.  As Jim Rohn said, “When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two” Ask yourself, where's your boundary? If you don't have one, you're not managing time; you're allowing time to manage you.  There are many ways you can take control of your calendar.  You could, for example, limit the number of hours you spend in meetings each week. If you work a typical 40-hour week, you could set the maximum time you spend in meetings at 15 hours. That will leave you with 25 hours dedicated to doing your work tasks.  Most people I talk with have no idea how much time they are spending in meetings each week. They say “yes” to every meeting request. WOW! If you don't have control of that, you're “up the creek without a paddle”.  Managing time is about managing your calendar and doing the hard things, like saying no to additional meetings that won't help you do your work.  This is one reason why the old-fashioned paper planners were so good. Because you had to handwrite your appointments into your diary, there was no way you could double-book yourself. Sadly, that one simple feature does not exist in digital calendars.  I've seen people with four appointments all scheduled at the same time. Come on, you cannot be in two meetings at once, let alone four! You can also protect blocks of time for doing your most important work each day. It's not difficult, and with shared calendars, doing so indicates to other people that you are not available at that time.  And most important of all, you can do a short daily planning session where you look at your calendar to see where your commitments are, then curate your to-do list so that the number of tasks you have for today is realistic, given how much non-meeting time you have.  Yet none of these are tool issues. These are human decisions we need to make, and we need to be strong enough to follow through with them. Blaming our boss, colleagues, customers, or tools won't improve the situation.  Only by being strong enough to say “no, not then, how about this time”, can you ever regain control of your time and see a corresponding increase in your productivity.  So there you go, Michael. Time management and productivity systems can and do work, but they only work if you are willing to make the difficult choices that come with them.  Be consistent in trusting your calendar. Allow it to structure your day between your work and home life.  Don't allow someone else's “urgent” to become your urgent. Respond to messages appropriately, but within your time frames.  I hope that has helped, and thank you for your question. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

There's a way to live that squanders pain while your heart hardens and your trust thins. Things like numbing, retelling the wound, and calling it wisdom. This week on Win Today, Shawn Johnson, lead pastor of Red Rocks Church and author of Attacking Anxiety, joins me to explore how people waste pain and how to steward the middle seasons when nothing seems to be moving, but everything inside you is being formed. We draw the line between rest and peace, why bitterness and distrust grow in the same soil, and how to turn waiting into worship without pretending the ache away. If you're stuck in the middle, angry at the delay, or exhausted from managing outcomes, this conversation will help you regain your presence and cultivate a hard-won hope that lasts. Guest Bio Shawn Johnson is the lead pastor and co-founder of Red Rocks Church (Denver, multi-site), and the author of Attacking Anxiety, where he chronicles his own fight with anxiety and depression and the practices that helped him rebuild. His ministry blends candor about suffering with a relentless call to faith and formation. Today isn't about his résumé; it's about your next faithful step in the middle.

A Thanksgiving devotional for Christian women in a slow season—faith, timing, and hope when the waiting feels long. If you're walking through a slow or quiet season—building new habits, strengthening your faith, healing, or trying to create order in your home—this Thanksgiving devotional is for you. In today's episode, Kristina shares the story of David and Solomon and the seven-year building of the first temple as a reminder that God works powerfully in the long road, not just the quick breakthroughs. This short but heartfelt devotional will encourage you to trust God's timing, release the pressure to rush ahead, and recognize that obedience in your “not yet” season still matters deeply. Your progress may feel hidden, but your purpose isn't. God is shaping you just as much as the work you're building. You'll hear biblical encouragement, practical reflection, and a closing prayer for the Christian woman navigating a slow build, a waiting season, or a time where the fruit hasn't yet shown up. This Thanksgiving, may you find comfort in knowing that God wastes nothing—especially not your waiting. Scriptures Mentioned: 1 Chronicles 23 1 Chronicles 22:9–10 1 Kings 6:38 If this devotional encouraged you, please take a moment to leave a 5-star review. Your reviews help this show reach more Christian women who need truth, hope, and encouragement in their daily rhythms.

 Today Evie and Lindsay are spilling the tea on the real, raw, and slightly chaotic lessons they have learned across a decade of entrepreneurship. From the early days of nonstop hustle, to the intense journey of building a swimsuit brand, to hiring people without enough oversight and even ignoring their own finances for far too long, the girls take you behind the scenes of what actually happens when growth moves faster than strategy. You will laugh, cringe, and nod along as they reflect on the moments that stretched them, stressed them, taught them, and ultimately grew them into stronger and wiser entrepreneurs. If you are building a business, dreaming of one, or simply wanting to feel less alone in the messy middle, this episode gives you a clear reminder that every setback is a setup for future strength. --------------------------------- Manual Mode Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/manual --------------------------------- Heart Shop: https://theheartuniversity.com/shop  --------------------------------- Primally Pure: https://primallypure.com/?rfsn=5649435.725fd3 Use HEARTANDHUSTLE for 10% OFF. --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- "PODCAST10" for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity  

As the Passover approaches, the plot to kill Jesus solidifies. A woman anoints Him with expensive ointment, an act the disciples see as waste, but Jesus commends as a proper preparation for his upcoming death and burial. This contrasts with Judas, who has agreed to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. At the Last Supper, Jesus institutes the Sacrament of the Altar which gives us His body and blood for the forgiveness of sins.  The Rev. Dr. Richard Davenport, pastor of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Fort Smith, AR, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 26:1-30.  To learn more about Our Redeemer, visit OurRedeemerFortSmith.360unite.com. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

A food waste researcher would like to see mandatory kerbside composting put back on the table, after researchers discovered just how much food is wasted in New Zealand every year. Their report, commissioned by the Ministry for the Environment, has found more than 1.2 million tonnes of food is thrown away, equivalent to 237 kilograms for every person in the country. Climate change correspondent Kate Newton spoke to Lisa Owen. 

A food rescue group believes more research is needed to understand why so much edible food is thrown out before it reaches our homes. Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance's executive director Iain Lees-Galloway spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Romans 8:28-30 contains a promise that there is No Wasted Pain for those who follow Jesus. But what does that mean when we encounter suffering and evil in a broken world? And how do we exchange the great, assuring promise of this passage with false comforts and human platitudes?

What do you do when you find yourself reacting as a leader? How can the wounds of your past impact who you are becoming?Former pastor turned leadership coach and podcaster Tony Miltenberger began noticing a powerful pattern in his conversations with leaders: the emotional reactions that were surfacing and influencing their leadership were often rooted in unresolved wounds from the past. As he dug deeper, Tony discovered something even more profound—those very wounds often pointed to the unique gifts a person was meant to offer the world.Drawing from his own personal journey and the experiences of those he has coached, Tony came to see the redemptive potential in our pain. That insight became the foundation of his book,Wisdom in the Wound: How God Uses Your Past to Shape Who You're Becoming. In this episode, Davey and Tony explore the significant impact of "little 't'" traumas in our lives and leadership, why it's crucial to trace our emotional responses back to their origins, and practical steps to begin healing the wounds that shape us.If you lead in any capacity—whether in business, ministry, your workplace, or your home—this conversation will challenge and encourage you to look beneath the surface, confront your story, and discover the wisdom God wants to draw from your wounds so you can fully step into your calling.

The Seahawks had a masterful performance on defense to keep the game within reach in the final seconds of the game. Ultimately, the loss to the Los Angeles Rams comes down to critical mistakes and costly turnovers by Sam Darnold. However, he did bounce back from his four interceptions to give Jason Meyers a shot even after the offense was pinned at the 1-yard line by the Rams special teams unit. The offense also suffered a major injury in the final moments of the game that is likely going to test the depth of the offensive line and put further stress on Darnold down the stretch. Tune in to our live reaction as we talk about what we'll need to see moving forward from our Seahawks to make a playoff run.

When life feels heavy, it’s easy to wonder if anything good could come from the pain. But 2 Corinthians 1:4 reminds us that God never wastes what we walk through. The comfort He gives us becomes the comfort we offer others. That truth reframes suffering—not as something pointless, but as something God can shape into purpose, compassion, and strength. Our stories, even the hardest chapters, can become lifelines for someone else who needs hope. Highlights God uses our struggles to equip us to comfort others with the same grace we received (2 Corinthians 1:4). Wise mentors and spiritual leaders can help us see purpose in seasons that feel confusing or overwhelming. Suffering often becomes a refining tool—shaping character, deepening faith, and anchoring us more firmly in Christ. Real-life examples remind us that even in pain, God can shine through our attitudes, words, and perseverance. Faith is strengthened through community; we grow by learning from those who have battled before us (2 Timothy 1:5; Hebrews 12:1). God often heals deep wounds in the midst of present struggles, using past hurt to bring present comfort. No season of difficulty is wasted—God works through it, in it, and beyond it.

Full Transcript Below: Our Suffering Is Not Wasted By Lauren Fletcher Bible Reading: “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” - 2 Corinthians 1:4 Early on in a season of struggles with mental health, I reached out to my uncle, a pastor in California, for guidance—I needed someone to help walk me through this tough time. I vividly recall the anxiety and confusion that were a part of my everyday life. I remember both my uncle and I asking the question of why I was going through this situation. In one of our video calls, he compassionately shared that as Christians, our suffering is not wasted. This was a game-changer. In 2 Corinthians 1:4, Paul says that when we suffer, our suffering can be used to help someone else in a future challenge. This verse gave purpose to my suffering. It changed my attitude and made my situation bearable. If God could use this, it was worth it. One of my favorite conversations I’ve had with my uncle is when he shared about his own health issues. He recalled a time when a friend offered to pray for him for healing. He shared how he didn’t necessarily want the health issue to go away until God had finished the work He was doing through it. What he meant was that sometimes, God uses situations to refine us, to work on our character, and sometimes, God also uses situations to reach others. A great example of this is a woman I got to know as I was growing up in the church. Through a mission trip, she had become a close friend. She ended up getting cancer, and one day, I visited her in the hospital. Smiling, she talked to her nurse and told her who her best friend was—Jesus. I was amazed at her attitude during such a hard time. I think of the scripture that says to always be ready to give an account of the hope we have (1 Peter 3:15). My friend continued to hold onto her close relationship with Jesus as she walked through cancer and openly shared with those around her. I learned so much from her. Intersecting Faith & Life: Can you recall a time when something someone else has walked through has helped you? How has it impacted your life? How has it given you a heart of gratitude? As believers, we truly need each other. Our growth depends on others’ help. In 2 Timothy 1:5, Paul writes to Timothy, “I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.” The author of Hebrews also says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us” (Hebrews 12:1). Sometimes, God is working something important in us, in our character, or through us, to others. Is there a time when you walked through suffering and it refined you, changed something in you? Can you see the purpose and personal growth, even healing in it? In my own life, I have walked through seasons of suffering where God touched a wound from the past when I was going through something in the present. He brought healing to that place and was present to comfort me. Finally, have you ever faced a challenging situation, whether it was a personal health struggle or a family circumstance? Perhaps it was job-related or a personal relationship issue. Is there something that God used to reach someone else? How did that change your perspective and grow your faith? Be sensitive to who the Lord may bring into your path. Who may He want to reach in their troubles? He may want to comfort them through you. What I have learned from my own suffering is that God will use it. He doesn’t waste it, and He has a plan.

How can you keep trusting God when you experience the most unimaginable trauma? Where can you find the goodness of God when the pain feels unrelenting?Erin Ketchen grew up in a family deeply rooted in faith. That foundation became essential when her family was thrust into a season of profound suffering. First, her husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer, a journey they had to navigate together. But nothing could have prepared Erin for the tragedy that followed: the brutal murder of her sister—her best friend—and her young niece at the hands of a deranged neighbor.Rather than allowing the pain to consume her, Erin discovered a renewed purpose through her suffering. Today, she serves as a Nothing is Wasted coach, using her own story to walk alongside others in their darkest seasons.In this raw and powerful conversation, Davey and Erin connect over their shared experiences of loss. They explore why moving toward our pain is vital, how Jesus transforms our perspective in suffering, and how God often uses our deepest wounds as the very platform for ministry.If you've ever wondered how to trust God when life feels hard, this episode will remind you that even in the struggle, His goodness can still be found.

Here we go again—'violence prevention activists' who can't stop committing violent crimes themselves. Is anyone shocked that these so-called peacekeepers are racking up murder and assault charges across liberal cities? We're diving into the absolute circus of anti-cop activists who are literally doing the opposite of what they preach, plus the latest Black Lives Matter fraud investigation that has them scrambling for excuses.From Chicago to DC to Philadelphia, these taxpayer-funded 'community heroes' are shooting girlfriends, planning murders, and beating up cops—all while posing with Democrat governors and cashing those government checks. Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk can't even hold a peaceful event without unhinged leftists turning it into a brawl.What did they expect when they put convicted felons in charge of violence prevention? When will these blue cities learn that hiring criminals to fight crime might not be the brilliant strategy they thought it was? The wheels are coming off, folks, and we're here for every ridiculous moment of it.

She wrote in heartbroken: six months in, different faith practices, sex after planning to wait, and an “I love you” he stopped saying.

How do you navigate the inevitable storms of life? What does it truly look like to grieve the life you once envisioned?Josh Turner is no stranger to life's storms. From parenting a daughter with special needs—whose diagnosis didn't come until she was 12 years old—to enduring a painful betrayal at the church where he served as a pastor, Josh has weathered more than his fair share of hardship. Through these experiences, he began to recognize a critical need: a pathway to help pastors and leaders endure their own storms without reaching the point of burnout or moral failure.This realization led to the founding of the 10 Ten Project, a ministry dedicated to equipping pastors and leaders with the tools they need to lead well through adversity. Josh also shares his powerful personal journey in his latest book, Into the Storm: How to Face Down Any Crisis with Deep, Unshakable Faith.In this episode, Davey and Josh explore how suffering can deepen our faith, the unique challenges of raising a child with special needs and how it can effect a marriage, and what leaders need to sustain their calling in the face of crisis.If you're walking through a storm right now, this conversation is a timely reminder: no matter what you're facing, it's possible to enter the storm with a deep, unshakable faith.

Tempers flare as PBD, Tom, Brandon, and Bill Pulte dive into the government shutdown chaos.

How do you hold onto hope when the answers just aren't coming? What does it look like to keep the faith when it feels like your prayers are going unheard?Olivia (Feller) Gerber's journey with chronic pain began in high school, when unexplained symptoms started to disrupt her daily life. Despite countless medical tests and doctor visits, she was left without a clear diagnosis—only more questions and mounting discouragement. In the midst of the unknown, Olivia discovered she couldn't interpret God's promises through the lens of her pain. Instead, she had to learn to see her circumstances through the truth of Scripture. That shift not only sustained her but inspired her to begin writing letters of encouragement to others walking a similar road, eventually leading to her book, Hold Hope: Encouragement for Christians with Chronic Pain.In this episode, Davey sits down with Olivia to explore the power of praying with specificity, the importance of community in seasons of suffering, and how to cling to hope when your situation seems stuck.If you or someone you love is walking through chronic pain and struggling to hold on to hope, this conversation will remind you that even in the absence of answers or change, God is present in your pain and will give you the strength to keep going.
