Well done, young CJ Stroud!!

Dr. John Sorensen is President & CEO of Evangelism Explosion International, a ministry that trains people how to share their faith in Christ and bring people from unbelief to belief. He's the daily speaker on Share Life Today. He is the author of the books Well Done, Your Story Counts, The Christ of Christmas, and travels around the world for Evangelism Explosion. You've likely read the passage of Scripture commanding believers to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. There's also Christ's instruction on being witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the earth. Finally, there's the Bible's encouragement of not being ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, that it is the power of God unto salvation, and that we are ambassadors for Christ. In spite of all this, some people believe this is only for pastors and missionaries or those in vocational Christian service. The result is that the "Great Commission" has become the "Great Omission." Others may feel convicted to share more, but don't know how to start a conversation, or are concerned they may get something wrong or may not be able to provide an answer for a question that's asked. Some may feel embarrassed, believing that you should never discuss religion or politics because these topics are a private matter and should be kept to ourselves. If you've struggled in areas like these, keep in mind, there are no exceptions. In other words, it doesn't matter if you're a child or adult. As born-again believers, all of us have the same instructions from Christ to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth. You have a story to tell others. Enjoy this Crosstalk!

  https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/May-16th.mp3 Stop Being a Passive Dad There is a silent but devastating epidemic actively destroying the modern family, and it has absolutely nothing to do with external cultural forces. The crisis is happening inside our own living rooms. Far too many men are fundamentally misunderstanding the biblical role of a father, trading their divine calling for a comfortable, laid-back existence. We hear the exact same exhausted sentiment from guys all over the country: “I'm there for the baseball games and the family dinners, but I feel like I am completely missing everything else.” They are physically sitting in the room, but their minds are miles away, leaving their wives and children spiritually completely unguarded. The modern definition of success has tricked men into abandoning the true biblical role of a father. We have been sold a massive lie that our sole, primary duty is to be the ultimate financial provider. For generations, we have mistakenly assumed that the biblical role of a father was strictly limited to clocking in, making a paycheck, keeping the lights on, and occasionally showing up for a school play. While providing for your family is absolutely a biblical command, it is only the baseline requirement. It is the starting line, not the finish line. To fully grasp the biblical role of a father, we must aggressively look past our bank accounts and peer directly into the hearts of our children. You were not placed in your home to be a glorified ATM; you were placed there to be the primary architect of your family's spiritual legacy. Escaping the Provider Trap It is incredibly easy to fall into the "provider trap" because it is highly measurable. You go to work, you earn a specific amount of money, you pay the mortgage, and you check the box. It feels like a tangible victory. But stepping into the biblical role of a father means realizing that your family needs your spiritual presence far more than they need your paycheck. Men often use their demanding careers as an impenetrable shield to avoid the messy, complicated work of leading a family. They proudly wear their sixty-hour work weeks like a twisted masculine badge of honor, claiming they are sacrificing for their kids, while their children are secretly starving for five minutes of their undivided attention. When guys act like passive roommates who just happen to pay the bills, they are aggressively ignoring the clear instructions laid out in Scripture. Defining the biblical role of a father requires us to look directly at Ephesians 6:4, which states: “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Notice that the text does not say, "Fathers, make sure your kids have the newest smartphones and a fully funded college account." The core of the biblical role of a father is fundamentally rooted in active discipleship and intentional instruction. Leaving the spiritual heavy lifting to your wife or your local youth pastor is a complete dereliction of duty. It is time to step up as the spiritual leader of the home and take absolute ownership of the environment you are creating. Presence Versus Engagement: Being in the Moment This brings us to a harsh but necessary truth about the biblical role of a father: mere presence does not equal actual engagement. You can be sitting on the couch right next to your son, completely isolated in your own digital world, and be a thousand miles away from his heart. We see so many men who operate like traveling salesmen in their own homes—their feet never truly touch the ground. They bounce from work to hobbies to the television set, treating their family like a pit stop rather than their primary mission field. Fulfilling the biblical role of a father requires you to put the phone down, turn the television off, and actually look your children in the eyes. When we carefully examine the biblical role of a father, we realize that our children do not want our leftovers. They want the best of us. Authentic Christian fatherhood is not for the faint of heart; it requires you to actively sacrifice your own comfort and selfish desires to serve the people under your roof. If you come home from a long day at the office and immediately check out because you feel you have "earned" the right to be lazy, you are entirely missing the mark. The biblical role of a father completely rejects passive observation. It demands that you engage in the friction, the noise, and the chaos of family life, recognizing that these exhausting moments are precisely where deep bonds are permanently forged. Discipleship in the Mundane: The Middle of the Mountain The enemy desperately wants you to believe that the biblical role of a father is too complex, too overwhelming, or requires some kind of advanced seminary degree. We incorrectly assume that spiritual leadership only happens during highly organized, hour-long family devotionals where everyone is perfectly quiet and taking diligent notes. Because we cannot execute that unrealistic standard, we simply give up and do nothing. But in reality, the biblical role of a father is lived out in the messy, incredibly mundane moments of everyday life. You do not need a miraculous, mountaintop spiritual retreat every single week to lead your family. Life is rarely lived on the mountain top, and it is rarely lived in the deepest valleys. The vast majority of our existence is spent right in the middle of the mountain. We often call this the daily grind, and it is exactly where the biblical role of a father is most rigorously tested. Discipleship happens in the dirty, mundane spaces. It happens during a fifteen-minute car ride to baseball practice. It happens while you are working together on a frustrating chore list on a Saturday morning. It happens during messy, unscripted conversations over a chaotic kitchen table. Stepping into the biblical role of a father means actively looking for God in the incredibly normal rhythms of your week and purposefully pointing your children toward Him. If you are actively executing the biblical role of a father, your children will never have to guess what you actually believe. You are constantly setting the yard posts of faith in their lives. Think about how easily men can engage in small talk. We can talk for hours about college football, the stock market, hunting gear, or the weather, but the second we are asked to talk about our faith, we completely freeze up. Embracing the biblical role of a father means breaking through that awkwardness. If you never talk to your kids about Jesus in the middle of the mountain, why would they ever come to you for spiritual guidance when they are facing a massive crisis in the valley? You have to establish the foundation of conversation early and often. The Hypocrisy Trap: Leading by Example You simply cannot fake your way through spiritual leadership. Understanding the biblical role of a father requires acknowledging that the old adage, "Do as I say, not as I do," is a catastrophic failure in parenting. Your children possess an incredibly highly tuned radar for hypocrisy. If you demand that they control their tempers, but you violently explode in traffic or yell at the television every Sunday, your words are completely meaningless. The true essence of Christian fatherhood requires deep sacrifice and a willingness to be continuously sharpened by the very standards you set for your home. You cannot demand that your family pursue a relationship with Christ if your own Bible is covered in a thick layer of dust. The true biblical role of a father demands that you lead by personal example, actively putting on the armor of God before you ever expect your family to do the same. In the book of Ephesians, the command to put on the full armor of God directly follows the instructions regarding household and family relationships. This is not a coincidence. You absolutely need spiritual armor to effectively lead your family because you are stepping onto a battlefield. Passive parenting is the exact opposite of Christian fatherhood. Sitting in the back den, drinking a beer, and isolating yourself while your wife takes the kids to church is a complete surrender to the enemy. Living out the biblical role of a father means you are at the absolute front of the pack, taking the initial hits and charting the course. The Power of the Blessing: Starving for "Well Done" Another critical, often overlooked component of the biblical role of a father is understanding the absolute, earth-shattering power of your blessing. Regardless of their age, your children are desperately starving for your approval. A boy does not inherently know he is a man until his father explicitly tells him he is one. A daughter looks to her father to understand her ultimate worth and value in a world that constantly tries to cheapen her. If you want to master the biblical role of a father, you must become incredibly generous with your encouragement. We are often so quick to discipline, correct, and heavily criticize our children, but we are brutally slow to look them in the eye and say, "I am incredibly proud of you." To ignore this deep psychological need is to completely neglect the biblical role of a father that God has specifically assigned to you. The power of a father's blessing cannot be replicated by a coach, a teacher, or even a pastor. When a father withholds his verbal approval, it creates a massive, gaping wound in a child's soul that they will spend the rest of their lives trying to fill with unhealthy relationships, relentless career achievements, or toxic addictions. Establishing yourself as the spiritual leader of the home requires you to speak life, identity, and truth directly into the core of who your children are. Do not make them guess if they have what it takes; tell them explicitly. Taking Immediate Action Today ...

Victor Frankl recalls an experience he had in a concentration camp. He was serving as a kind of medical assistant, caring for fellow prisoners who were sick or elderly.

We all hope that our lives make a difference to the world around us. Some of us strive to make that difference in the lives of others and others just talk about it. For those who know Jesus Christ, our goal shouldn't just be to live a good life, but to share Jesus with the world and then one day to hear the words of God our master when He says, "Well done good and faithful servant" On today's program, we will hear about the life of a friend that gave most of his life to point others to Christ through the Outdoors and especially through archery.

It's 1,021 days until the legally defined end of the 47th Presidency, but the merit of upcoming elections remains suspect. In the meantime, the US fired a general for the first time ever during wartime. We also are waiting to see if an unconstitutional executive order has any legal merit (it doesn't).

Once every 1,435 days , a 780 foot diameter space rock that my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Carson Fuls discovered makes an annihilation defying close approach to our star. At it's nearest point to the Sun, Carson's well done space rock is traveling at an amazing 93 miles per second and receives 26 times the amount of solar radiation that heats the surface of the planet Mercury to 800F. After Carson first discovered his heat resistant space rock traveling towards it's next hot date with the Sun, it was observed by telescopes in New Mexico, Arizona, Hawaii, and England. These data allowed scientists at the Minor Planet Center to calculate it's orbit around the Sun, estimate it's size, and give it the name 2017 TC1. 2017 TC1 crosses the orbits of Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury and can come relatively close to Jupiter on it's extremely elliptical orbit about the Sun. It is possible that in the very distant past the giant planet Jupiter's pull on 2017 TC1 sent it on it's current path around the Sun. In September of 2021, 2017 TC1 will once again be bright enough for asteroid hunters to track as it makes another close approach to our Sun. At this time astronomers with be able to measure the pattern of colors that 2017 TC1 reflects which will reveal it's surface chemical composition. Until then we are left to wonder how it is possible for a space rock to survive on such a harrowing path.

#199 - Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: Toxins, Steroid Withdrawal & the Identity Shift That Changes Everything with Kat Vong If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt betrayed by your own skin… If you've been told “it's just genetic” or “here's another prescription”… If you're quietly wondering whether something deeper is going on— Stop scrolling. This episode is the one you've been waiting for. Today I'm joined by my friend Kat Vong—host of the Well Done podcast and founder-in-the-making of a clean beauty brand for women with chronic skin struggles. Kat's story is raw, emotional, and wildly empowering. After years of battling off-and-on eczema that left her in physical pain and emotional exhaustion, Kat's body erupted in severe eczema just three weeks before her wedding. We're talking weeping wounds. Steroid injections. Oral steroids. Topicals on repeat. And that was just the beginning. What unfolded over the next several years included topical steroid withdrawal, toxic overload, leaky gut, postpartum depression, a NICU stay with twins at UCLA—and ultimately, a complete identity shift that changed everything. This conversation is about more than eczema. It's about the skin–gut–toxin connection. It's about stress, identity, and the nervous system. It's about what happens when you decide to heal—and cut off every other option. The best news - whether it's your skin or something else, healing.is.possible. In This Episode, We Cover: Heavy metals, phthalates, parabens—and how toxic burden shows up in your skin Leaky gut and why “everything” can suddenly become a trigger Why detox can initially make flares worse The missing piece in chronic healing: identity and mindset The hidden dangers of long-term topical steroid use What topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) actually looks like The beauty industry's blind spots—and what needs to change Practical skin barrier repair from the inside out How meditation rewires your biology (yes, really) Timestamps 00:00 – Meet Kat: severe eczema, beauty industry insider, and the wedding-week flare from hell 02:00 – Three types of steroids in three weeks (and why that mattered later) 03:30 – When the flares came back worse than before 05:00 – Discovering topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and sleeping on towels 08:00 – The functional testing that changed everything: toxins, gut, inflammation 09:30 – Heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, mold—and why her practitioner was shocked 11:00 – Leaky gut, gluten markers, and the “everything is a trigger” phase 12:00 – Detox + TSW: when healing looks worse before it gets better 13:30 – Pregnancy, temporary glowing skin, and the devastating steroid shot before delivery 15:00 – NICU, postpartum depression, and the emotional toll of skin disease 18:30 – The surprising non-food trigger most people ignore: toxic burden 20:00 – Stress as gasoline on the inflammatory fire 21:30 – “You can't drain the bathtub if the faucet's still running.” 22:30 – Identity work: “I am someone who has eczema” vs. “I am someone who heals.” 26:00 – The meditations that changed her brain (inspired by Joe Dispenza and his books Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and You Are the Placebo) 29:00 – The desperation loop that keeps people stuck 30:00 – Decide vs. choose: cutting off every other option 31:30 – Skin barrier repair explained simply (bricks + mortar analogy) 34:00 – Makeup, shame, leadership, and not feeling “enough” in the beauty industry 37:00 – Beauty, identity, and self-worth beyond appearance 39:00 – If you feel stuck, here's what you need to hear 41:00 – Turning pain into purpose 42:00 – Kat's upcoming clean beauty brand for chronic skin conditions Let's Talk Root Causes What struck me most in this conversation? It wasn't just the heavy metals or the leaky gut (although yes, those matter). It was this: You cannot heal in the same identity that created the illness. I've seen this over and over in clinical practice. We can remove inflammatory foods. We can support detox pathways. We can rebuild the gut lining. But if someone still believes, deep down, “This is just who I am”… the body listens. Kat didn't just detox her liver. She detoxed her identity. And that's where the shift happened. If You're Struggling with Chronic Condition Right Now… Here's your gentle but firm nudge: Get proper testing. Guessing is exhausting. Reduce inflammation first (you can't drain a bathtub with the faucet running). Support detox pathways before aggressive detox. Repair the gut lining. Regulate the nervous system daily. Decide that healing is happening—even if your eyes haven't caught up yet. Your body is not broken. It's communicating. And as someone who has walked countless women through chronic conditions, autoimmunity, skin flares—I can tell you: when we address toxins, gut integrity, stress, and identity together… things change.

And honestly? It's about time. If this episode resonated, send it to the friend who keeps saying, “It's just my hormones,” or “I guess I just have sensitive skin.” Sometimes it's not just sensitive skin. Sometimes it's your body asking for a new story. And that story? It can end very differently than it began.   ✨Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

Living From "Well Done" | Tullian Tchividjian | "The Undoing", Part 04 Matthew 25:14-27 NLT

There are six words every Christian longs to hear from Jesus. This Sunday, we come to the parable that says it repeatedly. But why? Some rich man invests in three different people. The first two guys double their resources, so they get affirmed and rewarded with even more. But the guy who doesn't... weeping and gnashing... outer darkness. It's hard not to project American capitalism onto the Parable of the Talents, especially since we swim in a culture of 'you-are-what-you-produce.' But that would be an anachronistic, soul-eroding mistake. Just last week, Elon Musk said "whoever said 'money cannot buy happiness' really knew what they were talking about." So why does Jesus tell a story about making sure we get a good return on his investments? How would that lead to 'entering the joy of our Master'? Let's talk about "Well Done, Good & Faithful Servant" Matthew 25:14-30

Love is one of the most talked-about words in our culture — but we don't always agree on what it actually means. During this message, we're going to explore what Jesus says real love looks like and how it can completely reshape the way we treat the people closest to us.

Sometimes it's easy to admire Jesus without allowing Him to truly change us. But there's a difference between simply liking what He says and living the kind of love He modeled. This week, we'll look at a powerful moment from Jesus' final night with His disciples and wrestle with what it really means to follow Him.

This Episode Will Rewire How You Think About Healing (& Why Your Gut, Hormones, and Stress Are Never Separate) What if your symptoms aren't random—and your body isn't failing you at all? Healing doesn't fail. Strategies do. What if exhaustion, gut issues, hormone chaos, and skin flares are actually intelligent signals you've been taught to ignore? In this episode, I'm stepping into the guest seat on Well Done with Kat Vong—and we go deep. Not surface-level wellness tips. Not another “eat clean and sleep more” conversation. We're talking about what actually drives chronic symptoms like gut issues, hormone chaos, exhaustion, skin flares, and that quiet sense that your body just isn't cooperating anymore. We unpack why stress is often the root driver, how gut health quietly controls your hormones, why perimenopause deserves way more proactive attention, and the wildly underrated role your identity and subconscious play in healing. If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” and still not getting better—this one will stop you mid-scroll. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02:00] — Why stress isn't just a factor… it's often the driver Chronic stress doesn't just make you tired—it literally creates inflammation, raises cortisol, and pokes holes in your gut lining. This is where a lot of healing conversations need to start. [00:03:30] — My personal health journey (and why it changed everything) From growing up inspired by a surgeon grandfather to developing Hashimoto's myself—why lived experience matters as much as credentials. [00:06:30] — The real root cause of autoimmune conditions We break down the “three-legged stool” of autoimmunity: genetics, leaky gut, and a trigger—and why stress often pulls the trigger. [00:10:30] — Why conventional medicine often stops short The problem with “a pill for an ill,” and what happens when we treat symptoms without asking why the body adapted that way in the first place. [00:16:30] — Gut symptoms you should never ignore Bloating, migraines, fatigue that sleep doesn't fix, brain fog, bowel changes—what's normal vs. what's a check-engine light. [00:19:30] — How stress physically damages the gut This is where everything connects: cortisol, inflammation, leaky gut, blood sugar, hormones—and why I've completely changed how I prioritize stress in healing. [00:22:30] — Deep stress vs. trauma (and how the body stores both) Why you don't have to feel stressed for your body to still be carrying it—and how emotions live in tissues. [00:25:30] — How we actually heal leaky gut (the practical framework) Lifestyle + nutrition + targeted supplements—and why no single supplement will fix what lifestyle is still breaking. [00:27:30] — The key nutrients that rebuild the gut lining Collagen, glutamine, zinc, soothing herbs—and how food and supplements work together. [00:28:30] — Perimenopause signs most women are taught to ignore Mood changes, cycle shifts, irritability, fatigue, heavy periods—why these aren't “just aging” and what to look at now, not later. [00:31:00] — Bioidentical hormone replacement explained (without the fear-mongering) What it is, why it's different, and how balanced hormones protect your brain, bones, and heart. [00:34:30] — The gut–hormone connection no one talks about Meet the estrobolome: how gut bacteria regulate estrogen—and why dysbiosis fuels estrogen dominance. [00:37:00] — Simple gut upgrades that support hormone balance Probiotics, prebiotics, food sensitivities, and why whole foods matter more than perfection. [00:41:30] — Identity, subconscious programming, and healing Why healing stalls when we identify as our diagnosis—and how shifting identity changes biology. [00:44:30] — Visualization + emotion: the missing link Why mindset isn't about positive thinking—it's about retraining the subconscious during the most programmable moments of the day. [00:50:30] — Letting go of the ‘how' and ‘when' Why detachment accelerates healing and obsession slows it down. [00:54:30] — My top daily lifestyle priorities for better health Stress awareness, gut cleanup, whole foods, reducing ultra-processed foods, and tuning into your body's signals. [00:58:30] — Artificial sweeteners, gut damage, and smarter swaps What to avoid, what's okay, and why your sneezing, bloating, or fatigue after meals isn't random. Big Takeaways You'll Still Be Thinking About Tomorrow • Stress is not a side character—it's often the lead villain • Healing the gut often unlocks hormone balance • Perimenopause is a window for prevention, not something to suffer through • The subconscious doesn't argue—it executes • What you repeatedly tell your body, it believes Where to Find Me
