Send us a textThank you, Sabina Nawaz, for helping me find today's guest to finish up Season 6 on the Quarterback DadCast!So, what if the best leadership training happens at your dinner table? We sit down with Dane Groeneveld—dad of four, CEO of LEAD3R, and host of The Future of Teamwork—to explore how raising kids, facing anxiety head‑on, and choosing curiosity over control can transform both families and companies. From eight schools across Australian mining towns to a newborn and teens under one roof, Dane shares the practices that keep his home grounded and his teams energized.We dig into the messy middle: choosing therapy when a high‑achieving teen hits an anxious wall, stepping away from rugby to protect mental health, and having brave conversations about consent and sex without panic or shame. You'll hear why the “car ride home” is the most dangerous coaching moment, how IFS “parts” language reduces shame and opens learning, and why stoic patience beats heat‑of‑the‑moment reactions. Expect tangible tools: the “I love watching you play” reset, TED questions that unlock specifics, and permission‑based coaching that turns advice into collaboration.On the work front, Dane goes on offense against the myth of high performance at all costs. He lays out a model for healthy teams that still deliver results but no longer leave human wreckage behind. The three values guiding both his home and company—be human‑centered, be pioneering, and share in success—show up in simple, repeatable moves: assume positive intent, learn by building, and spread the win. We also trade stories about body language meltdowns on the golf course, 2 a.m. puppy chaos, and the quiet power of leaders who remove fear and instill confidence.If you're a parent, coach, or manager who wants stronger relationships and better outcomes without the burnout, this conversation is your playbook. Listen, share with a friend who needs a reframe on performance and parenting, and leave a quick review so more dads and leaders can find the show.Support the showPlease don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

In this episode, I walk through a practical, five-pour framework to collect and use feedback from peers, stakeholders, SMEs, QA and accessibility reviewers, and—most importantly—learners, so your projects move faster and land stronger. You'll get short scripts, simple prompts, and a clear structure to keep conversations focused on outcomes instead of opinions.If you want feedback to become fuel, not friction, this guide gives you the tools to make it happen. Subscribe for more practical instructional design tactics, share this episode with a teammate who reviews your work, and leave a quick review telling us which script you'll try first.

Join Elevated GP: www.theelevatedgp.com Register for the live meeting: https://www.theelevatedgp.com/ElevationSummit Download the Injection Molding Guide: https://www.theelevatedgp.com/IMpdf  In Part 2 of this powerful series, Dr. Melissa Seibert continues her in-depth conversation with cosmetic dentist and AACD leader Dr. David Eshom, exploring the deeper psychological, business, and interpersonal frameworks that underpin a thriving fee-for-service practice. Together, they unpack the realities of transitioning away from insurance dependence, the emotional traps dentists fall into, and the communication strategies that safeguard both the patient relationship and the dentist's peace of mind. Dr. Eshom offers decades of wisdom on how to recognize patient readiness, how to present comprehensive treatment without triggering defensiveness, and how to gracefully identify patients who may not be ideal candidates for complex care. He shares the subtle behavioral cues that differentiate collaborative patients from those who may become litigious, overly exacting, or misaligned with your practice philosophy—and how to exit these relationships ethically and respectfully when needed. The episode also tackles some of the profession's most pressing realities: Why the insurance model forces dentists into ethical and financial corners How to communicate a fee-for-service structure without alienating patients The psychology behind presenting conditions and consequences—not pressure and sales Why slowing down for deeper exams ultimately accelerates practice growth How to block your schedule, restructure hygiene exams, and build time for meaningful conversations The importance of discernment: knowing when a patient is truly a "yes," when they're a "not now," and when they're a "no" Dr. Eshom also walks through his workflow for large aesthetic cases—from shade decisions to motivational mock-ups and trial smiles—while highlighting how these tools improve clarity, set expectations, and reduce risk for both patient and provider. The conversation concludes with a reflective discussion about building a freedom-based business, attracting aligned patients, and creating a practice model that delivers exceptional dentistry without compromising your wellbeing, your values, or your clinical standards. If you've ever wondered how to elevate your practice beyond the constraints of insurance, identify ideal patients, or cultivate a career defined by autonomy and fulfillment, this episode is a masterclass in sustainable, relationship-driven dentistry.

Courage in the Christian life becomes most evident when faith faces real pressure. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how believers in places like Turkey encounter genuine danger for sharing the gospel, prompting the guys to reflect on nervousness, sacrifice, and obedience in hostile environments. They stress the importance of looking to the cross for strength, responding to opposition with gentleness, and remembering that even Jesus was rejected despite delivering a perfect message. They encourage believers to approach resistant family members with empathy, avoiding arguments rooted in pride rather than witness, and to trust God to work through humility and clarity. The guys also emphasize the significance of cultural awareness, prayerful dependence on the Spirit, and genuine authenticity, reminding Christians that faithfulness may bring resistance instead of applause. In every situation, the call is to remain steady, compassionate, and anchored in the greatness of God.Send us a textThanks for listening!

On today's Perspectives, we're talking about finding our voice in a world where speaking up can feel risky. Eighty-four percent of Americans say they're afraid to express their true opinions. Dr. Chloe Carmichael, clinical psychologist and author of Can I Say That?, joins me to share practical tools for healthier conversations, stronger relationships, and the emotional freedom that comes from using our voice fearlessly.

The Author Events Series presents Keisha N. Blain | Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights In Conversation with Timothy Welbeck Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others' freedom struggles around the world. Without Fear tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women-from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power. By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression-including racism, sexism, and classism-Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice. Keisha N. Blain is professor of Africana studies and history at Brown University. She is a Guggenheim, Carnegie, and New America Fellow, and author-most recently of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Until I Am Free. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island. Timothy Welbeck is the Director for the Center of Anti-Racism at Temple University. A Civil Rights Attorney by training, Timothy is a scholar of law, race, and cultural studies whose work has allowed him to contribute to various media outlets, such as the CNN, CBS, BBC Radio 4, The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, NPR, The New York Times, and REVOLT TV. Timothy lives in the Philadelphia area with his wife and three children.

Alzheimer's often reveals itself around the holiday table, when families see one another more closely than usual. My guest this week, author and longtime caregiver Carol Steinberg, knows that experience well. Her father was diagnosed decades ago, long before the disease was widely understood, and the journey reshaped her life. She eventually helped lead one of the largest Alzheimer's organizations in the country and continues to write for Voices of Alzheimer's, staying close to the families living with this disease every day. We talked about what gives her hope now. More people are being diagnosed earlier. New treatments can slow the progression for some. Communities are offering more practical support, and families are learning how to build what Carol calls "bunkers," healthy habits and safeguards that strengthen the whole household. One of the most meaningful parts of our conversation was how Alzheimer's affects children and grandchildren. Carol regrets that she sometimes pulled her own daughters back from their grandfather. Her new children's book, Come Grandpa Meow, Let's Fly, helps families give kids the language and confidence to stay connected rather than afraid. She offers simple ideas that help children engage in small, steady ways, which can lift the spirits of everyone involved. Caregivers often lose independence, connection, and identity. Children lose clarity when they are pushed to the sidelines. Carol and I both believe the better path is to walk toward one another, even when the road is rough. There is sorrow in Alzheimer's, but there is also purpose, comfort, and moments of unexpected grace when families choose connection instead of retreat. If you have a loved one with Alzheimer's, or if you wonder how to explain the changes to your children or grandchildren, I think this conversation will encourage you. There is life beyond the diagnosis, and there is a way to face it together.

He's also the co-author of Canopy of Titans, a finalist for the Oregon Book Award, which explores the ecological, cultural, and climate importance of the Pacific Northwest's ancient forests. Paul's work sits at the intersection of science, storytelling, and justice, making him the perfect guest to help us unpack today's topic: climate literacy without fear.In this conversation, Paul and I explore questions educators face every day, such as:• How do we explain complex systems—like forests, carbon cycles, and climate change—in ways that build curiosity, wonder, and hope, rather than fear? • What stories from Canopy of Titans can teachers bring into their classrooms to spark conversations about stewardship, ecosystems, and human impact? • What signs of a healthy or stressed ecosystem should students learn to notice during forest walks or schoolyard explorations? • How can we talk about logging, conservation, and land management honestly—especially in communities with strong ties to forestry—while staying respectful and balanced? • How do forests and freshwater systems connect, and how do species like beavers and salmon actually help stabilize the climate? • Why is simple noticing—curiosity, observation, attention—such a powerful foundation for environmental literacy? • What are developmentally appropriate ways to introduce advocacy, decision-making, and environmental responsibility without overwhelming kids? • And finally: What hopeful stories and emerging research keep Paul going, and how can we share that hope with our students?Get in touch with Paul: paul.koberstein@gmail.com Click HERE to buy Canopy of Titans

In this episode, I sit down with Shaylin Fuller, a Muay Thai fighter and Risely 2025 coaching graduate, to talk about what it's really like when the thing you love most starts to feel dangerous because of type 1 diabetes. After experiencing a terrifying low during training, exercise stopped feeling empowering and started feeling like a constant risk she had to manage. We talk about how that fear followed her far beyond the gym and quietly began running her life. Shaylin opens up about the moment she realized she couldn't keep choosing between her sport and her health — and how coaching helped her rebuild trust in her body. You'll hear what it took to move from 47% to 88% time in range, and why real change happened slowly, imperfectly, and in the “messy middle.” This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about control — it's about reclaiming your confidence, your freedom, and your rise.

We fear being seen as weird, subversive, or too “out there.” We stress about not showing up “the right way” or being “too much.” We're afraid the messages we share will be misunderstood - or even ridiculed.Fear of being too visible kept my soul client Katja Junnila from establishing an online presence for her business.

November 23, 2025: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard.  Amen. For some, this is a day called Christ the King Sunday, but as I say every year, that is not a title he would have ever claimed.  As we heard in the Gospel, it was a title given to him by the oppressors who crucified him.  No, Jesus would not be happy with this King business I believe, Jesus is Lord is enough, and was for centuries for his followers, as Christ the King wasn't even a thing until 1925.  So, not Christ the King…but it is Advent. And we have practiced the original seven week Advent here at Christ Church since 2016, and as then, it seems so appropriate now, because Advent is about a people walking in darkness, but not a people without hope. The people are in crisis.  Many live in fear.  The country is divided against itself.  People don't know which way to turn, how to take the next step, what to do, because the leaders have failed them.  Certainly, this sounds like it is a time of darkness, and even very familiar – but I am not talking about the events in this country, at least not yet. I am talking about the passage in Jeremiah we heard this morning.  If you were in doubt about whether Advent, from a lectionary point of view, is seven weeks long, just look again at our reading today from Jeremiah and the Canticle. Jeremiah begins with a stern warning from God for those in power that because they have abused their people, because they have not care for their flock, they will meet with God's wrath.  Jeremiah had been speaking about the failure of leaders in the time of the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 587 bce.  And the passage ends with a very Advent-y verse “The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch…” God clearly was not happy with the shepherds who failed their sheep. One of the things that our faith, our scriptures, make abundantly clear, is the importance of shepherds.  And being a shepherd is about never forgetting that the focus of your work must always be on the welfare of the sheep. This is true, not only for those who watch over flocks, but for all kinds of leadership positions – from President to parent, from CEOs to church leaders.  We don't have to have lived in the Ancient Near East to understand what can happen when shepherds fail in their work.   We have borne witness to this in our lifetimes. Today, we can certainly understand what it must have felt like back in the days of Jeremiah to be a people divided, scattered, fearful of our leaders, and not sure what tomorrow will bring.  Our own nation's leaders have not only failed to be good shepherds, it is far worse than that.  They have actually turned on the sheep.  Our country – once a beacon of freedom and democracy to the world – has entered into the dark shadows of oligarchy and systemic oppression. The President has put masked troops in the street shooting tear gas and pepper balls into crowds of citizens, and callously throwing people, including clergy, onto the pavement – arresting them for the crime of free speech.  He is responsible for the execution of over 80 people without due process of law through drone strikes on boats in international waters.  He has had thousands detained, including zip tying children (let that sink in), again without due process of law, and even deported many of them to foreign prisons notorious for their human rights abuses.  He has dismissed the concern of over a thousand female victims of a child sex predator to protect his own hide, calling their abuse a hoax.  And his government has stolen affordable access to healthcare for the poor to give money in tax breaks to the rich and powerful. And while some may feel this is less important – it goes to his misogyny and eroding of the freedom of the press – the silencing of those who courageously try to protect the flock from predators.  He told one woman reporter who dared ask him a question, “Quiet Piggy!”  Then he held a meeting at the White House with Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, known for his brutality, including the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a US citizen, by having him chopped up while still alive.  When the President was asked about meeting with him by another reporter (also a woman) he called her “insubordinate.”  Insubordinate – as though he is a king who cannot be questioned.  And to another who asked directly about the murder of Khashoggi, he said “A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.”  Things happen?  Sure, a guy walks into a bathroom and things like a bone saw just kinda happen to him. Seriously.  You can't make this stuff up.  These are dark days we find ourselves walking in, to be sure. And it could make anyone feel like just pulling the covers over their heads and praying that things will change.  That perhaps new leaders will emerge and make everything better in some distant future.  But, that would be like reading only parts of this passage from Jeremiah – the beginning condemnation of the current leaders in the first two verses, and the promise of a new leader in the final verses, when what we need most to pay attention to today is everything in between. Because if we focus only on the current predicament, and the hope of new leadership, we miss what God intends for us, and it is something so very needed now. After condemning the current leaders, God then says “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock, and…I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing.”  God declares “I will raise up shepherds…”  Well, guess where God gets those new shepherds?  From right within the flock!  God intends to call from among the sheep new shepherds. As one commentator noted, “While [Jeremiah] opens with judgment and closes with a promise of a future leader who will save and protect the people, the larger book of Jeremiah does not let us — the people — off the hook as we wait.” So, both sheep and shepherds have responsibilities to the full flock.  Everyone has a role to play, especially when we talk about our lives in Christ.  Some are called to a dedicated shepherd role.  Bishops are the shepherds for a diocese and Deacons assist in that work.  Priests are the shepherds for a parish or other type of faith community.  But what about the laity, the sheep?  Well, that's what we hear about in the Song of Zachariah, the canticle, or for Latin nerds, the Benedictus, chanted so beautifully this morning by our choir.  Zachariah, after the miraculous birth of his son John by his wife Elizabeth, had a lot to say.  Now, you can understand why when we remember what the angel Gabriel did to him before this.  See, back about nine months earlier, Zach was a priest, and it was his turn to serve in the temple.  This was not an every week thing.  There were a lot of them, and so maybe this was his one shot a year.  So, he's back there doing his priestly work, burning some incense, as you do, when the angel Gabe pops in to tell him “Hey Zach!  You and Liz are gonna have a baby!  You will call him John, and he will be a great prophet, who will proclaim the coming of the Lord.” Now, Zach was a bit skeptical, after all, he and Liz were getting on in years.  So, he says “Seriously?  How is that gonna happen?  My wife and I are already on Medicare for crying out loud.”  Gabe was not pleased.  “I am Gabriel – the best messenger God has!  I came all this way to give you this awesome news and you doubt me?”  Knowing priests love to talk, he made Zach mute until the baby was born.  Which tells you that if an angel appears, even in flames like the movie Dogma, keep your doubts to yourself. So, as we know now, Liz did get pregnant.  Her cousin Mary, the mother of Jesus, came to visit her, etc.  Fast forward to today's passage, and that baby was just born.  Zach's mouth was opened, and he wasn't holding back.  He told all that had gathered to celebrate this birth what this miracle child would do.  He told them that salvation was coming for all of them, and that John would be called a prophet, and prepare the way for the coming of Christ.  That's a lot right there for this newborn.  But there's more.  John's prophetic witness would shine light “…on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.” This prophet John, through his witness in the world, would give light where there is darkness, and guide others toward peace.  John would be a great prophet of God in a time of deep darkness.  He was also an example to us all, most especially now. John, a sheep of God's flock, was made for such a time as he lived.  And you know what? So are you.  So is every single one of you. It is in times such as when John was born, such as what we are experiencing now, that light is needed most within the shadows of despair, longing, fear, and hate.  And that is when God raises up prophets to carry the light of hope and love into a world of darkness and discord.  While it is true that some will do this in particular calls to ordained life – all of us are called to be John – to be the prophets that guide others to the way of peace.  And if you think about it, there is a shepherding quality to prophet work, right? If you are guiding others, you are a shepherd.  And in the church, as all are part of the priesthood of all believers, so each of you is called to be both sheep and shepherd.  That is our life as a part of the flock of God, most especially when the flock – the people of God, and the creation in which we dwell – are in danger, are being hurt, are living in fear.  Folks, is it clear that we are in Advent – both in the church and in the world.  And God is looking for prophets, for shepherds, to listen, to lead, and to love.  Forget looking to someone else to do it – look in the mirror instead. Because God is calling you – here, now. In Advent most of all, we know that in the darkest of times, the light will always come.  But it is up to each of us, following where the Holy Spirit leads, to be that light too – to be Christ's light shining in the world.  And one way we do that is by what we will do here today.  Later in this service, each of you will bring forward food for the those in need and your pledge cards – a commitment to stewardship of this place, out of which we bring the gospel message of hope to a world in need, and in which we are given restoration for our souls as we do this prophetic work of being shepherds in the world.  The food, for both humans and animals, is our commitment to caring for the folk of God. The pledges are a commitment to be the prophet our Creator needs today, and proclaim from the highest hills, and the lowest valleys, that God loves everyone – no exceptions.  They are a pledge to be the shepherd of a people who are lost, alone, or living in fear. They are a step in the longer journey of our life, and in the long history of shepherds and prophets of God. Long ago, God, through the prophet Jeremiah, lamented those called to be shepherds who failed their flock, who failed in God's mission and call for them, and declared that other shepherds would be raised up instead.  And they were to the hope of all creation. Long ago, John was born with a call to prepare the way for the One who would bring light into the world.  Today, we are the ones that God has raised up – born in baptism – not to prepare the way, but to be the way – to guide others, by the light of Christ shining in us and through us, into the path of peace. To be both the sheep of God's pasture, and the shepherd of others.  These are dark and dangerous times, and this will not be easy work.  And, so I want to leave you with these words of a 13th century woman who heard her own call to be a shepherd.  She cast aside all she knew and left the wealthy life of her noble birth to follow Christ.  She was Clare of Assisi, who started the monastic order known as the Poor Clares.  On her deathbed, St. Clare offered this blessing – words that still ring out through the centuries, serving as a reminder that we never do this work alone.  Christ is always our partner in our call.  And so I offer them now to you to take into your heart as you leave here today to be the shepherds, the prophets, who light the way and guide others into the path of peace, the ones God calls for the sake of the world: “Live without fear: your Creator has made you whole, always walks with you, and loves you as a mother. So, follow the good road in peace, and may God's blessing remain with you always.” Amen.

Before the cross, Jesus gathered His closest friends in an upstairs room. What He shared there would change everything; words of love, unity, and the promise of His Spirit. In this series we step into that room to experience the heart of Jesus and what it means to walk closely with Him today.

Send us a textIt this episode, we talk about the role of fear in our lives. This is something that I am always considering and plays a part in so many of the other themes and topics discussed. The more I explore it, the more I realize it's its own beast, and a big one to conquer at that. Fear is such a sneaky thing. So often, we don't even realize what we are experiencing is actually fear. Truth be told, this episode is one of my more vulnerable moments lately. My hope is that you might hear it and feel something in a way that makes you want to think about things differently so that you, too, can live a life without so much fear.

Send us a textEver wonder why some shops can charge premium prices without flinching while others apologize their way through every estimate? We unpack the playbook for home service pros who want to price with confidence, execute with precision, and market with integrity so customers feel great about saying yes.We start by reframing growth through three levers—smart pricing, operational excellence, and marketing that actually matches delivery. You'll learn why customers happily pay more when the 3 C's are present: clarity about what they're buying, confident communication from your team, and consistent options that respect budgets and priorities. From speed to lead and tidy installs to how you answer the phone, we map the touchpoints that quietly pre-sell your price long before a tech opens the price book.Then we get tactical. We walk through building prices from real numbers—labor, materials, overhead, and target margins—plus how to review and update as costs change. We share a clean, tiered options strategy (good, better, best), why you should always present a repair pathway when appropriate, and how a quick third-party verification call protects elderly homeowners and your reputation. You'll also get language shifts that move teams from apologizing to advocating for value, outcome-based selling that beats model-number jargon, and ethical incentives that nudge buyers toward higher-tier solutions without cheapening your brand.If your quotes are triggering sticker shock, the fix isn't to slash price—it's to elevate the experience. Align brand visuals, uniforms, vehicles, and communication with the level you want to command, and let marketing tell the story of comfort, safety, efficiency, and peace of mind. Stop selling parts. Start selling outcomes.

The first sprint after birth can feel like your body forgot the map. We get honest about that moment, then build a smarter route back to running, lifting, and sport with real tools you can use today.We start with the emotional shock of early returns: missing your old speed, feeling awkward under a bar, and wondering where your core strength went. From there, we lay down clear buoys—simple checkpoints that guide when to push, when to hold, and how to pivot without fear. For CrossFit athletes, we map a practical path from 2–3 weeks of breath, bracing, and light circuits to 4–6 week barbell reintros, low-impact metcons, and gradual intensity in just one or two domains. Expect specific weights, movement options, and what “normal” feels like when grip and shoulders wake back up.Strength timelines get real too. Many dedicated lifters hit 85–95% of pre-pregnancy numbers by nine to ten months, with sleep, fueling, and nursing shaping the curve. Then we tackle running head-on, cutting through scary anecdotes with what the evidence actually supports: a personalized, symptom-led return. You'll get a time-based interval template (not mileage), how to check for leakage, heaviness, or rebound soreness, and the three strength staples every runner needs—staggered-stance deadlifts, loaded lunges, and resisted lateral work—to improve impact tolerance and reduce shin and knee issues.Throughout, we tie in pelvic floor nuance, delivery factors, and why stories of prolapse don't prove running “too early” caused it. We talk fueling, community, and mindset, because performance after birth isn't just physical—it's logistical and emotional. If you've been waiting for permission to move on your terms, with data and compassion, this is your map.If this helped you build your plan, follow the show, share it with a friend who's returning to sport, and leave a quick review so more moms find evidence without the fear.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

AI is powerful—but it's not a person. In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks cut through hype and fear to frame AI as a tool in service of human creativity and relationship, not a replacement for them. We explore how parents and educators can guide kids wisely, why presence beats perfection, and how prudent governance and virtuous use turn technology into a channel for love. Throughout, we hold the three lenses: honesty with self, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasPersonhood vs. tools: AI can assist; it cannot love, intend, or take responsibility—only persons do.Formation first: families, schools, and parishes can coach attention, boundaries, and creative habits so tech serves growth.Create, then edit: let AI help with drafts or analysis, but keep the human voice, judgment, and accountability.Presence > polish: prefer relational availability over endless “optimization”; use tech to free time for people.Prudence and trust: welcome governance and guardrails; cultivate virtue so our choices—online and offline—reflect the Gospel.Links & ReferencesHoly See, Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith & Dicastery for Culture and Education, Antiqua et nova.

“Today, we're talking about the number one reason why money is hard to come by. It's not your job, your income, or the economy — it's your energy. Money is energy. It responds to how you feel when you think about it, talk about it, and especially when you spend it. Most people spend money with tension, guilt, or fear — and that fear creates resistance that blocks abundance from flowing back. But here's the truth: when you spend with trust, joy, and gratitude, you send a powerful signal to your subconscious — one that says, I live in a world of more than enough._____Learn more: Habits that Attract Money https://www.tinyurl.com/MagneticHabits

Our kids are undoubtedly growing up in a turbulent time. From the war in Israel to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they're seeing and hearing about death, chaos, and violence everywhere they turn. It's tempting as parents to try to shield them, to protect them from the evils of the world, but is that actually biblical? Today on Fearless we're talking about the importance of teaching our children to face the world without fear—equipping them to walk in confidence and courage in the times God has placed them. Our kids see what's going on in the world, even if we do our best to limit screen time or not talk about current events at the dinner table.
