For too long, we've acted like "consecration" and "holiness" are terms reserved for the spiritual elite. We've lowered the bar of what it means to be a Christ-follower so much that we've forgotten what it looks like to be truly set apart. In this episode, we're diving into the "romantic" side of consecration—the idea that God doesn't want you to set yourself apart to earn His love, but as a response to the fact that you already have it. In this conversation, we're pulling back the curtain on: The Big Myth Of Consecration: Why the call to be holy isn't just for people with a title of ‘pastor', and why thinking that way is keeping you from your greatest purpose. The Danger of Your Own Playbook: Who sets the boundaries in your life? If you're the one deciding how far is "too far," you might be setting yourself up for the very attacks you're praying to avoid. Your Secret Identity: We reveal the massive biblical truth that you aren't just a "partaker"—you are a priest. We explore what it actually means to minister to God before you ever try to do anything for Him. Gift vs. Sacrifice: Why God isn't looking for your extravagant gifts, but for the one thing that actually costs you something. If you've felt like you're just going through the motions or that your spiritual lens has gotten "dirty," this episode is a call to come back to the altar. It's time to stop setting your own rules and start living in the power that only comes from a life set apart.

You're closer to a breakthrough than you think. Luke and Josh coach three very different agents through three very real problems. Jean asks how to recruit agents to her small brokerage, Naquata wants to know how to make the most of 20–25 hours a week as a part-time agent, and Stefan calls in after burning through his savings with one month left to survive. Stay Paid hosts breaks down recruiting funnels, sphere-first strategy, activity levels, masterminds, prospecting blocks, and what it actually takes to break through when you feel like quitting. If you're growing, rebuilding, or barely hanging on, this episode will meet you where you are. Key Takeaways: What to do when you're struggling to recruit agents Mentorship is good but not unique — every broker claims it Create a recruiting funnel the same way agents create a sphere funnel The 3 E's of agent content: Education, Entertainment, Endearmeny Your 100-person sphere is the foundation — call all of them 65% of listings and 56% of buyers come from relationships Every hour must go to: Prospecting, Sphere, Open Houses, Conversations You must track actual conversations, not just time spent Schedule 4 hours/day of phone time Ask sphere for referrals TODAY Success = increased intensity + structure + accountability ⁉️ Do YOU have a question you'd like us to answer on air?

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!In this week's epsiode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with C. Vicki Gold, PT, MA. Vicki Gold is a retired physical therapist who is proud to say she turned 80 in September of '24. Her background was rich in both clinical and academic experiences, including serving as Director of a Physical Therapist Assistant Program in NYC. She also has had extensive experience in a large variety of mind-body approaches to physical and mental well-being, including yoga, tai chi, Pilates, Alexander, and Feldenkrais Techniques. Vicki is a perpetual student of personal growth and transformation, and is a graduate of many trainings through Landmark Worldwide. Vicki and her husband, Tom, relocated from Long Island, NY, to the Foothills of NC, where Vicki completed a book meant to educate, empower, and inspire people to “Age Safely, Wisely, and Well,” which just happens to be the book's title! The title goes on to say that it is “A Movement and Mindset Guide for Older Adults,” however is relevant to adults of all ages. The book comprises many of the tips, tricks, strategies, and skills Vicki gathered over her many years as a therapist and as a woman. It also has several collaborators from specialties like fall-prevention, aging in place, nutrition, etc. Vicki's mission now is to encourage listeners to learn their ABCs to look, feel, and function optimally – at every age!In this epsiode we talk about:The "ABCs" of Optimal Function: Vicki breaks down her signature framework for looking, feeling, and functioning at your best,proving that vitality isn't a matter of age, but a matter of alignment.The Evolution of a Healer: From clinical Physical Therapy in NYC to mind-body mastery (Yoga, Tai Chi, and Pilates); a look at how integrating various modalities creates a holistic path to wellness.Movement + Mindset: The Duo for Longevity: Why a book about aging well required more than just physical exercises, and how our internal dialogue dictates our external physical capabilities.Reimagining 80: Breaking the "Fade Out" Mold: Vicki shares the reality of entering her ninth decade with more purpose and energy than ever, challenging the societal expectations of what "getting older" looks like.The Power of One Word: A deep dive into the specific vocabulary that can instantly shift an adult's motivation, helping them move from a "default" life to one of intentional design.Becoming a Perpetual Student: How Vicki's journey through personal transformation trainings (like Landmark) allowed her to pivot in her 70s and write her book in the foothills of North Carolina.Building Your Aging Village: The importance of collaboration—from nutrition to fall prevention—in creating a sustainable, safe, and joyful legacy.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church: Catholic Sunday Homilies
The Wisemen, or Magi, use their freedom and leisure time wisely on things that mattered; to find the ultimately meaning and purpose for life. We are all called to make a similar journey and not to fall into the trap of using our freedom to enslave ourselves, or our leisure to busy ourselves from this important task. Jesus promises that if we embark upon this journey, using our natural Insight, and scripture, he will further miraculously help us to have a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.

In this episode, host Travis Chappell and producer Eric break down missed opportunities, painful losses, and fraud-adjacent stories to show how real-world investors actually think through risk. Using everything from crypto FOMO to Shark Tank misses and Ponzi-style funds, they explore how to build a rational investing framework that can survive both wins and wipeouts. On this episode we talk about: Passing on early opportunities like crypto and what that really cost over time Famous “missed deals” like Ring and other Shark Tank passes that later exploded How to emotionally process investments that go to zero—even when they seemed “safe” Why trying to “beat the market” usually backfires for non-professional investors The blackjack analogy for setting clear investing rules and sticking to them Angel investing math: why most startups fail and what that means for your checks A real story of an investor-turned-felon running a quasi‑Ponzi fund How seemingly smart people slide from aggressive bets into outright fraud Why Travis shifted from big swings to boring, low‑risk, long‑term investments Top 3 Takeaways Losses are inevitable, so you need rules before you need returns. Approaching investing like blackjack—accepting losses as part of the game and sticking to a predetermined strategy—keeps you from going on emotional “tilt” after a bad beat. Most private deals will fail, even with “strong” founders. Angel and alternative investments should be treated as high‑risk, small‑allocation bets—not as the foundation of your net worth. Boring usually wins over time. For long‑term wealth, broad, diversified, low‑chance‑of‑zero investments (like major index funds) are a far more reliable base than chasing the next Uber or crypto rocket ship. Notable Quotes “You have to set rules and then stick to the rules—because losses are part of the game.” “You're not going to beat the market. Ray Dalio can't consistently beat the market, and he's the best in the world.” “There's no truly ‘no‑risk' investment. If someone promises that, they're either lying or they're going to prison.” ✖️✖️✖️✖️
This episode explores listening as a form of courage and clarity—an active practice that shapes how we understand the world and ourselves.From Zeno's simple reminder that we have “two ears and one mouth” to Epictetus's deeper lesson on assent, we learn that true listening isn't passive reception but deliberate attention. It invites empathy, reveals uncomfortable truths, and creates the space in which wisdom can emerge.When we listen with patience and discernment—to others, to nature, to our own inner signals—we reclaim our freedom to choose our responses and, in doing so, walk a wiser path through life.
For the final episode of 2025, Zoë and Brendan share their own year-end reflections, summits, snacks, and slogs, including Zoë's experience hitchhiking to the start line of a 78-mile race in Italy, arriving 90 seconds before the gun went off to stand between Kilian Jornet and Jim Walmsley in a downpour that would last 15 hours. Then they pull their favorite moments from this year's interviews. You'll hear coach Mario Fraoli explain why the marathon is where racing ends and insanity begins. Steve Magness on why running might be the healthiest cult you can join. Alex Hutchinson on the effort paradox, why we value things because they're hard, not in spite of it. Sabrina Little on running as a laboratory for virtue. And Dan Lieberman, who co-authored the original "Born to Run" research, telling Zoë and Brendan to their faces that ultra running is absolutely, completely, and totally bizarre.

It is amazing that God would use our words to do good. But we shouldn't set as our target the standard of "God can even use a donkey" but speaking clearly, fittingly, discerningly, and dependently. Listen to Pastor David's exhortation to speak the truth wisely for more.

In this powerful and practical message, Dr. Charles Stanley reminds us that conflict and criticism are part of everyday life, but our response determines whether they become stumbling blocks or stepping stones. Drawing from Scripture, he explains how God uses difficult interactions to refine our character, deepen our faith, and teach us humility.Listeners are encouraged to pause before reacting, seek God's guidance in prayer, and honestly evaluate their own hearts. Not every criticism is meant to be accepted, but every situation is an opportunity to respond with grace, wisdom, and self-control. Dr. Stanley emphasizes that a gentle spirit and trust in God's justice preserve peace and reflect Christ to others.As always at Cat81 Radio, Jaggy and Tedi were close by in the studio—quietly reminding us that calm presence, patience, and unconditional love often speak louder than words. Their peaceful companionship perfectly echoed the heart of this message: responding wisely begins with a settled spirit.

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm taking a little time to reflect with you on how we show up in our lives—our work, our family, our health, and our purpose. As we roll into 2026, I want to talk about something that's been really close to my heart: how to live in alignment with who we truly are and how that changes everything—from our energy to our opportunities.Whether you're listening on your morning walk, sipping coffee, or just taking a pause in your day, this episode is for you if you've ever wondered if you're doing it all but still feel out of sync with yourself.Key Highlights:How to know if the things you say yes to are truly aligned with your purpose.The difference between doing things out of habit versus conscious choice.Why alignment brings more flow, joy, and opportunities into your life.The power of slowing down and checking in with your inner self before committing.How journaling and reflection can help you identify what really matters.The difference between surface-level positivity and deep, cellular alignment.Why your nervous system's state impacts your ability to manifest and thrive.How to stop context-switching and focus on what truly lights you up.Simple daily practices to tune into your inner being and create alignment for 2026.Key Takeaways:“Your nervous system is that energy transmitter. So if your nervous system is not calm, safe, you're emitting confusion, disorganization, and you're definitely not in alignment.” -Kellie Lupsha“If you start your day with a daily practice of not just gratitude, but consciously feeling into what you want, then that's the root cause. Then you'll realize, 'Oh, it just is me,' and you will become that.” -Kellie Lupsha*TAKE THE FREE ~ DISCOVER YOUR MIDLIFE HEALTH BLUEPRINT*****>>> Click Here
Giving Tuesday has become a global moment to celebrate generosity. But for believers, it can be much more than a once-a-year opportunity to give. It can become a catalyst to cultivate a lifestyle of intentional, joy-filled stewardship all year long.Today, we explore how to give with both heart and wisdom—so that our generosity reflects God's purposes, not merely the moment. Joining the conversation is Al Mueller, founder and CEO of Excellence in Giving and former executive with Morgan Stanley and UBS.Beyond the Moment: What Giving Tuesday Really RepresentsFor Al Mueller, Giving Tuesday is more than a charitable trend—it's an invitation.“Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to begin acting on generosity,” he says, “but it's also a moment to pause and align with God's purposes.” Al reminds us of Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Each one must give as he has decided in his heart… for God loves a cheerful giver.”In other words, generosity is more than an impulse. It is an act of worship. Giving Tuesday can be a spark, but intentional stewardship is the flame that keeps burning throughout the year.Al summarizes biblical giving with a simple idea: “God gave us both a head and a heart—He didn't say pick one.”Wise stewardship holds both together:The heart expresses compassion, joy, and worship.The head evaluates impact, effectiveness, and alignment with God's purposes.Stewardship looks at the Kingdom outcomes we long to see and asks how we can best contribute to them. Some giving is planned, some spontaneous—but all of it can be intentional.Helping Donors Give With ExcellenceAt Excellence in Giving, Al and his team equip high-capacity givers—often those giving $1 million or more annually—to make well-informed, impactful decisions. They offer research, due diligence, and accountability that help donors shift from reactive to proactive giving.But these principles, Al emphasizes, are not reserved for the ultra-wealthy.“Everyone can do their own homework,” he says. “Everyone can ask good questions. Everyone can give intentionally.”Whether you're giving $50 or $50,000, evaluating ministries wisely matters. Al recommends starting with three core questions:What problem is the ministry trying to solve?What do they believe is the root cause of that problem?What measurable results have they seen?Healthy ministries provide clear reporting, measurable outcomes, and transparent leadership. They welcome questions and view accountability as part of discipleship.Key indicators to review include:Leadership stabilityDonor and staff retentionClear communicationTransparent financial practicesEvidence of life changeStrong ministries don't hide their results—they celebrate them.Red Flags: When to Think TwiceJust as there are markers of strong ministries, there are warning signs that should prompt caution:Vague vision without a clear planEmotional pressure or over-spiritualizing resultsLack of reporting or unwillingness to share outcomesOver-dependence on a single donorRepeated urgent appeals for fundsAl calls vague visions “ministry hallucinations”—dreams without blueprints. Just as you wouldn't build a house without plans, you shouldn't fund ministry without clarity.A Growing Trend: Collaborative GivingOne of the most exciting developments in philanthropy today is collaborative giving—donors pooling resources to make a larger, more strategic impact.Pooling resources:Helps ministries secure larger grantsReduces duplicationSaves ministries' valuable timeStrengthens unity within the body of Christ“This model lets donors and ministries accomplish something bigger together,” Al explains.No donor wants to micromanage, and no ministry seeks to be controlled. But accountability doesn't mean control—it means clarity.Al puts it this way: “Accountability is information given, not control taken.”Trust grows when ministries offer clear plans, measurable results, and honest reporting—what Al calls “a form of blessing” to donors.The Next Generation of GiversYounger donors give differently than their parents do. They are:More global in perspectiveMore results-orientedMore experiential—they want site visits and direct engagementMotivated by conviction rather than obligationPassionate about transparency and impactAl believes this next generation will reshape Christian generosity—mainly as significant wealth transfers occur in the coming decades.Al concludes with a powerful insight: there is a meaningful difference between being generous and being a steward.In the first century, a steward managed the household, finances, and fields on behalf of the master. The steward's job was simple: to know the heart of the master and act accordingly.Stewardship today means:Recognizing God owns it allSeeking His desires for His resourcesGiving with discernmentAiming to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”Generosity is beautiful—but stewardship is a calling.Growing in Intentional GenerosityWhether you're giving on Giving Tuesday or cultivating lifelong generosity, the call is the same: give with joy, wisdom, and purpose.If you want to explore tools to help you give more strategically, you can learn more at ExcellenceInGiving.com.

I meet a lot of people who want to accomplish major goals next year. Then the year comes and goes and most people are still waiting to get started.It's almost December. Rather than wait until the New Year to get going, use December to plan how you'll execute on "that thing" you're itching to accomplish. Time waits for nobody, so get going.
In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick unpack what it really means to “choose your challenge wisely” in your health, family, and business. They share a real-life story of a family navigating a child's “incurable” diagnosis and contrast the challenge of doing deep, integrative work with the hidden challenge of staying in the conventional, band-aid model. They call out how distraction culture, social media, and living by everyone else's “shoulds” pull you away from your true values, your family, and your unique mission—and how reflection, aligned challenge, and inspiration (not desperation) are the real path to a life you actually love. #ChooseYourChallengeWisely #IntegrativeYou #IntegrativeMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #ConsciousParenting #GenerationalHealth #ValuesDrivenLife #MindBodySpirit #HolisticHealing #HealingJourney #QuantumHealing #NeuroscienceAndHealing #HealthIsWealth #LegacyLiving #IntentionalLiving #InspirationOverDesperation #DistractionDetox #FamilyFirstLeadership #HighPerformanceMoms #EntrepreneurHealth 3 Key Takeaways: You can't escape challenge—only choose which one you're willing to live with. Medication and band-aids come with their own set of challenges: behavior issues, neurological inflammation, family disruption, more diagnoses down the line. Doing the deeper integrative work is also a challenge—but it's the one that actually moves you toward a healthy child, a healthy body, and a healthy family dynamic. Life expands when your challenge is connected to your highest values. When the pain and effort are tied to what matters most—your kids, your health, your mission, your freedom—the challenge becomes inspiring instead of draining. If you're constantly complaining, procrastinating, and feeling “over it,” you're probably working on the wrong challenge or you haven't connected it to what's truly important to you. Distraction is stealing your clarity, your presence, and your legacy. Living on social media, comparing your life, your business, or your family to everyone else keeps you out of touch with your own values. Reflection time, stillness, and honest self-inquiry are non-negotiable if you want to stop living by “I should / I have to / I need to” and start curating a life rooted in inspiration instead of desperation. Quotes: “You don't get to opt out of challenge—you only get to choose the one that leads you closer to the life you actually want.” “Life isn't happening to you; every challenge is a feedback mechanism redirecting you from desperation to a life rooted in inspiration and your true values.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

On this date in 1896, the Jamestown paper reported Mrs. Swain had been taken home to New Rockford for burial. She and her lover were found dead in a Valley City hotel room. A note left at the scene said, "You will find sufficient funds in my pocketbook to bury us. Our last request is to bury us together without any fuss, and do not try to find out who we are. Parted in life but joined in death."
Are we seeing a rise of the most dangerous personality type among the Gen Z generation? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we started off the week with our expert on narcissism addressing this very issue along with more of your questions. Once again using both her professional training and her personal experiences, continued to show us to how to biblically address the many challenges that come with having a narcissist in your life and family. A joyful biking adventure around the world turned into a horrible tragedy of violence and death at the hands of ISIS terrorists. We were once again joined by a prolific author who tackled their amazingly tragic story. His meticulous research and gifted ability to tell a story takes us right into their experiences, the transformative encounters along the way and how and why one member’s hopeful but naïve view of the world became a doorway to their demise. The idea of “spiritual stupidity” may seem at first blush offensive but as our guest, a highly respected evangelist and author pointed out, the bible is filled with stories of people who were spiritually stupid who did not take the warnings from God seriously and lived to regret that choice sometimes with eternal consequences. Through the stories of Adam & Eve, their sons, King Saul and others our guest reminded us that God is both a merciful and a serious God and that His warning are real and not to be ignored. The incarnation of Christ, God becoming man and dwelling among us has been a rock of offense for many people throughout history. Many Jewish scholars has stumbled over it and tripping has created a wide chasm between Christians and Jews who share the same Messiah. But we were reminded that the incarnation is grounded in the Hebrew scriptures as prophecy and promise in the Old Testament and our guest used history, science to once again compelling show that the impossible did happen and that the acceptance or rejection of this amazing truth has wide ranging and eternal consequences for us all. From antisemitism to A.I. From Gaza tensions to government shutdowns. There has been no lack of news fighting for our attention this week. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by the constant onslaught. And that is why we invite you once again to join us for more lessons on the practical, real-time applications of God’s unbending truth as the measuring rod against the crooked, confused and sometimes completely deceptive goods that inform and influence the world around us through the news and social media that we consume daily.

It is time once more to enter the gates of VAL-halla, our retrospective series on the late Hollywood icon Val Kilmer. Paul, Arlo, and Eric set their sights on what are possibly Kilmer's two best performances. First, in Oliver Stone's psychedelic biopic The Doors, Val embodies the Lizard King himself, Mr. Mojo Rising, Jim Morrison; and then, in George P. Cosmatos'--or is that Kurt Russell's?--glossy Western Tombstone, Kilmer brings new life to Doc Holliday. The gang discusses Val's generational run in the '90s; why The Doors works when most rock biopics don't; and debate the merits of '90s Westerns. Plus, a brief sojourn into the world of Alien: Earth. NEXT: because journalism matters, we're doing an episode all about AMC's Interview with the Vampire. Molloy hive rise up.
