How can practicing the law be shaped by the Christian faith? And how can we reimagine lawyering? If you're reimagining the legal profession, you don't want to just be a Christian who happens to also be a lawyer. You want the way you practice the law to be shaped by your faith. For this reimagining, we need to understand three things from Christian theology: 1) that every human being is called to be a gardener, 2) that the law is a form of gardening, and 3) that you need to figure out your own idols. This talk and Q&A was given by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 2, 2007. Series: Center for Faith and Work.

The best way to stop focusing and ruminating about narcissists in your life is to close your eyes and fall in love with the self. Ancient Persian Philosopher Rumi is an excellent example of how to break up with, let go of, divorce, and go no contact with narcissists in your life. In this lesson, you will learn what Rumi has to say about releasing narcissists from your life, and why doing so is terrifying yet brings emotional freedom at the same time. Healing from narcissistic abuse, requires that you release resistance to the pain manipulation, gaslighting, triangulation, smear campaigns and discard have created. Through radical self awareness, and acceptance, we discover the power of sacred wisdom as it pertains to choosing nonresistance. A narcissist will never follow you into solitude. When you embrace solitude, narcissists will run away because in solitude their masks fall. And that's why you must travel into the silence within. Codependency is akin to spiritual death. It implies you are living in denial of what is, and running from reality. The answer lies in climbing the ladder of the mind, from the subconscious to the higher conscious realms. But first, we must figure out where you are now and at what level of awareness do you reside. Feel free to take my FREE Codependency Quiz to discover more. ✨ Take my FREE Codependency Quiz

In today's Workday Playdate Snack, we're talking about the kind of trust fall that doesn't involve closing your eyes and hoping Linda from Accounting catches you. Nope—we're talking about the invisible, emotional kind. The one that happens during reorgs, layoffs, and those delightfully vague “strategic shifts” when your team is quietly wondering, “Are we safe? Can we trust you? Or should I start updating my LinkedIn headline to ‘Open to Work'?” If you're leading through change (or just trying to survive it)—this snack is for you. The Problem: Here's the situation: Your company is “reimagining,” “realigning,” or “restructuring”—aka, no one knows what's actually happening. And while the all-hands slides say “exciting opportunities ahead,” your team is refreshing their résumés and watching your every move. Why? Because trust doesn't disappear in a reorg—it falls. And someone's gotta catch it. That someone? You. Trust isn't built through promises—it's built through presence. Through honesty. Through leaders who are willing to say: “Here's what I know. Here's what I don't. And here's what I do know—we'll figure it out together.” The Improv Hack to Try: The “Yes, And… But Also” Technique Here's how to lead when everything's unclear—without pretending to have all the answers.Use this structure when delivering change or uncertainty: “Yes, and…” to validate what's real and open space for what's possible “But also…” to acknowledge fears and bring humanity into the room Try this: “Yes, we're going through changes, and I know that can feel unsettling. But also—I believe in this team's ability to stay connected and support one another.” It's not spin. It's not sugarcoating. It's leadership that's rooted in reality and hope. Try it at your next team meeting. Watch what happens when trust stops falling—and starts rising. Coming up Wednesday: If this snack hit home, don't miss Wednesday's full-length episode: Episode 294 — Layoffs Ahead? Here's How to Stay Human (and Keep Your Team's Trust).

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” - 2 Corinthians 8:9This powerful verse is often quoted when we talk about generosity, and rightly so. It shows us that generosity isn't just a financial principle—it's rooted in the very heart of the Gospel. Today, Dr. Nathan W. Harris joins us to explore that connection more deeply.Dr. Nathan W. Harris is the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at The University of Mobile in Mobile, Alabama. He is also the author of A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace.What Is Gospel Generosity?Gospel generosity is giving rooted in the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Generosity is not merely a virtue for the Christian life but a cheerful disposition that springs forth from the gospel. This kind of generosity arises from new life in Christ, is empowered by the Holy Spirit, and reflects the Father's model of grace throughout creation.At its core, gospel generosity isn't just about giving—it's about proclaiming and portraying Christ's saving work in our lives. It signifies a radical transformation of a believer's heart and mind, leading to joyful stewardship of resources in service to God's kingdom.Beyond the Tithe: A Higher CallingOne of the most debated topics surrounding generosity is the concept of tithing. Are Christians called to tithe, or is there a greater expectation?While tithing—giving 10%—is not explicitly required for Christians, the gospel calls us to something far greater. We aren't obligated to give; instead, Christians have an incredible gospel opportunity. We are called to live generously, humbly, selflessly, and with the kingdom of God in mind.This perspective reframes giving not as a rule to follow but as an act of grace and worship, rooted in gratitude for what Christ has done.How the Gospel Transforms Our View of MoneyThe gospel transforms our hearts and minds and revolutionizes how we approach money and stewardship. Martin Luther once said:“There are three conversions in one's life—the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the pocketbook.” When we encounter Christ, our hearts are filled with affection for Him, and our minds are set on heavenly things. However, many Christians struggle to surrender their finances to God fully. You can't hold on to Christ while also holding on to your money.A heart transformed by the gospel desires to honor Christ above wealth. A mind renewed by the gospel prioritizes kingdom values over worldly ones. This transformation shapes every aspect of our financial lives, from earning and saving to spending and giving.Living as Stewards of God's ResourcesWhen our hearts and minds are fully surrendered to Christ, our finances naturally follow. Giving becomes not just an obligation but an act of worship and a reflection of the gospel's transforming power.To explore these ideas further, check out Dr. Nathan W. Harris's book, A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace. This concise guide offers biblical wisdom and practical insights into living a life of joyful, gospel-rooted generosity.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a whole life insurance policy for my mom that we've been paying on for about nine years. I'm wondering if I should just cash it in since we're almost at the full policy amount.What is the best educational investment account to use for my 10 and 8-year-olds when they're ready for college? I've just been saving money in savings accounts.I wanted to ask about the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset - are they still in effect? I'm a firefighter and paramedic who worked in the public service and private sector for 30 years.My wife and I don't have a retirement plan yet. I'm 53 and my wife doesn't work. We have a vacant lot worth $45,000, and I'm wondering what we can do with the money from selling it to help prepare for our retirement.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)A Short Guide to Gospel Generosity: Giving as an Act of Grace by Dr. Nathan W.

What does it take to shift from a struggling solo attorney to a CEO leading a thriving full-service law firm? Learn how authentic leadership transformed one law firm from solo practice to thriving law firm. In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve sits down with Ross Albers, CEO of Albers & Associates in Timonium, Maryland. Ross shares his inspiring and raw journey—from getting fired just days before his wedding to building a successful law firm with 13 attorneys spanning multiple practice areas. His story is a powerful reminder that setbacks can become the foundation for future success with the right mindset and strategy. Ross opens up about his early days practicing criminal law and accepting low-fee cases. Instead of staying stuck in survival mode, he adopted a new perspective—one rooted in long-term business growth. That shift led him to evolve from lawyer to leader, transforming his role and his firm in the process. We examine the fundamentals of leadership and team development within the context of a law firm. Ross shares how creating clarity and accountability among team members has been crucial in fostering a high-performing environment. He emphasizes the power of structured feedback and regular communication, drawing inspiration from leadership heavyweights like John Maxwell. With insights on the importance of KPIs and well-defined onboarding processes, Ross illustrates how these elements contribute to cohesive and efficient firm operations. His personal experiences underscore the importance of aligning processes across various practice areas to achieve both cultural and financial success. Ross also shares what it takes to scale a law firm without sacrificing your personal life. He speaks candidly about building trust, leading by example, and staying committed to continuous growth. Whether you're managing a solo practice or leading a growing firm, Ross's journey offers a roadmap for evolving from overwhelmed attorney to purpose-driven CEO. Tune in for actionable strategies to build a firm that reflects your values, supports your life, and fuels your biggest dreams.

Title: Practicing the Way — The Practice of Sabbath & RestMain Texts: Genesis 1:1, 31; Genesis 2:1–3; Mark 2:23–28Big Idea: True rest isn't just about taking time off—it's about transforming both how we work and how we rest by aligning with God's rhythm for life.Key Points:God's Rhythm of CreationGenesis 1:1 — God worked.Genesis 2:1–3 — And then God rested—not because He was tired, but because He was satisfied.Rest is holy. The very first thing God called “holy” was time, not a place or person.If God rests, who are we to think rest is for the weak or lazy? It's a part of the divine pattern.We Live in a Hustle CultureIn today's culture, busy is worn as a badge of honor.But endless busyness produces burnout, anxiety, and disconnection from self, others, and God.A connected soul, a family at peace—these are far more impressive than flashy schedules or name brands.Rest Is More Than Time OffMany think “I just need a vacation”—but no amount of time off will heal you if you don't change how you spend your time on.Sabbath is an intentional rhythm of work and rest:Work like God works.Rest like God rests.Two Modern Enemies of RestBurnoutSome are addicted to hustle and performance.Jobs, money, and accolades become identity. This is a recipe for collapse.Others are addicted to mindless “breaks” that actually exhaust them—social media, screens, shallow entertainment.Constant screen time keeps the body in fight-or-flight, blocking true rest and recovery.How do you get your dopamine? If the answer is screens and noise, you aren't truly resting.The Sabbath Was Made for YouMark 2:27 — “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.”The Pharisees overcomplicated the Sabbath. Our culture ignores it entirely.The solution is neither legalism nor neglect—it's joyful practice.Sabbath should be a gift, not a guilt trip.Practical InvitationSabbath isn't about strict rules—start simple:Shut down the phone.Disconnect from “work” for a full day.Engage in life-giving relationships, hobbies, meals, and worship.Practice what it looks like for your soul to say: God is enough. I can stop.Final Challenge:Fasting trains us to say “no.” Sabbath trains us to say “enough.”Start where you are. You won't master rest overnight—but embracing Sabbath as a rhythm will realign your heart with God's design for your life.

What happens after the founder exits? Too often, regret, confusion, and loss of identity. In this powerful session from the Exit Planning Institute, Jerome Myers delivers a wake-up call: most exit plans ignore the human element. While others focus on finances and operations, Jerome highlights the missing pillar: personal planning. Press play and rethink what it means to exit with excellence. [00:00 – 12:00] Exit is Inevitable, But Fulfillment is Not 100% of founders will exit: “Sell it, give it away, or close it.” Most advisors ignore personal planning, but it's what leads to regret “The stool wobbles without the third leg. We're building incomplete exits.” [12:01 – 25:00] The Founder's Exit Paradox The paradox: rich and free, but lost “They decouple their identity from the business and enter a void.” Common regrets: loss of purpose, isolation, status drop, boredom Why does money only solve 2 of the 5 levels in Maslow's hierarchy [25:01 – 38:00] Six Centers of Doubt: The Hidden Struggles Introducing the Exit Paradox Iceberg Self-image, Relationships, Work, Health, Prosperity, Significance “If you don't know where you're going, you won't like where you end up.” 60% of founders' core relationships disappear post-exit [38:01 – 48:15] From “What's Next?” to N.E.X.T. Nourish, Evaluate, Xplore, Transcend: a framework for life after exit “Most are exiting from, not to. That's why they regret it.” How Jerome helped his father find purpose again, becoming a mayor in his 60s [48:16 – End] Real Tools, Real People, Real Legacy The NEO Assessment: Six archetypes for post-exit personality “Ask your clients: What are you optimizing for, money or fulfillment?” Advisors: why you need to engage the personal side, or risk losing the AUM “The only way your life ever matters is if you are positively impacting other people's lives.” Key Quotes: “Money solves the first two levels of Maslow's hierarchy. Everything after that - purpose, belonging, impact - needs something deeper.” – Jerome Myers “The biggest problem in exit planning is that most founders are exiting from instead of exiting to.” – Jerome Myers Ready for your next chapter?

Today, I'm going off-script, but on script, it's weird. I break down the steps of what it truly means to build self-security. I discuss the trap of chasing external validation and how real happiness lies in the uncomfortable journey inward. I unpack how to stop molding yourself for acceptance, why true worthiness isn't based on your achievements, and how taking vulnerably risky action will lead you to the authentic relationships you've always wanted. If you're constantly worried about reactions or if you're scared to show your true self, this episode is your reminder: the peace you're seeking is already within you.Work with me, sign up for the newsletter, or take the dating quiz: https://confidencechris.com/Chapters:6:53 How to Build Self-Security43:07 My Subconscious Agreements Holding Me Back From Love

Christian Brunner joins me to talk about his book Alpine Witchery. Christian has researched the accounts of hundreds of witch trials which took place in his native Austrian Alps. The accounts record the spells men and women were accused of conducting which he has carefully categorized with their elements and ingredients. This is not a grimoire per se, but does allow for those intersted to see how these folk traditions might be adapted and used today. Christian shares his connection to the material as well as his process for translating these for this project. Alpine Witchery is available at Llewellyn, from your local bookshop (ask them to order if not in stock), or online seller. You can find Christian on Facebook, Instagram, and at his website Christianbrunner.com. # # # Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Follow my channels on Substack: https://giftsofthewyrd.substack.com/ Instagram: @wyrdgifts1 Facebook: @GiftsoftheWyrd Email: giftsofthwyrd@gmail.com Order The Christmast Oracle Deck created by me and artist Vinnora at https://feniksshop.etsy.com follow FB/IG: @thechristmasoracle Please leave feedback on Apple and other podcast providers.

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: .Sermon Notes“How can anyone remain interested in a religion which seems to have no concern with nine-tenths of his life?” — Dorothy Sayers1. God Is a Worker – And We Are Made in His ImageThe Bible opens with God working—creating the world (Genesis 1:1–2:2).As God's image bearers, we too are designed for creative, fruitful work.Work is not an afterthought or consequence of sin—it's part of our identity.2. God Made a World That Needs WorkGod created a good, but unfinished world—full of potential.Humans are commissioned to “fill the earth and subdue it” (Genesis 1:28).We are called to develop culture, build communities, and steward creation.3. Work Has Inherent DignityWork existed before the fall—it is not a curse but a gift.All kinds of work (paid, unpaid, creative, routine) matter to God.Meaningful work is vital to human flourishing and reflects God's character.Sermon ApplicationDiscussion Questions:Describe your attitude towards your work (whether paid or unpaid, inside or outside the home). Are you positive? Negative? Motivated? Bored? Delighted? Frustrated?Can a hobby be considered work according to Genesis 1-2? Why or why not?Is it easy for you to connect your faith to your work? In what ways might knowing God's original design for work from Gen 1-2 help strengthen that connection?Why is work important for human dignity?Additional Resources by Timothy Keller by Vern PoythressQuestions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

Send us a textHave you ever been told to “just give them space” but all it did was leave you with more questions, more pain, and zero real answers? If you're at a relationship crossroads, wrestling with daily conflict, growing emotional gaps, or the panic that comes with feeling your partner drift away, you're not alone. Love Shack Live is the podcast for those who want to rebuild real, lasting connection, not with more clichés, but with honest conversation and practical skills.In this episode, we go beyond the tired advice about space and separation and dig into what actually helps when your world feels upside down. What if the pain you're feeling isn't just something to survive, but a wake-up call, or even an opportunity? What should you really do when your partner asks for space? And is it possible to come home to yourself, and maybe, eventually, to each other, even when everything feels broken?Whether you're in the thick of separation, considering a breakup, or desperately hoping to fix what's been lost, you'll discover the hidden traps that keep people stuck, like panic, overgiving, or obsessing over your partner, and the surprising steps that lead to clarity, healing, and growth.Curious what most relationship advice never covers? Ready for a conversation that goes deeper, and helps you shift your focus in a way that could change everything?

So excited to be back with you and our guest today, Megan Hellerer, author of Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life, which came out last September 24. In this book, Megan introduces us to the concept of the underfulfilled overachiever—and I bet there are many of you listening, like myself, who will completely resonate with that term. Underfulfilled overachievers, Megan writes, have been taught the concept of destinational living—but through her book, as the title suggests, Megan is introducing a new way forward, a more fulfilling way forward: directional living. Of course, Megan talks all about what that means in today's episode, and why this is the better way. We talk about how to begin this paradigm shift and the five phases it takes to do so; what a “fulfillment ache” is; the difference between a fear self and a true self; and so much more. Megan is a career coach and the founder of the appropriately named Coaching for Underfulfilled Overachievers. She has worked with hundreds to transform their lives by transforming their careers, and she is a Stanford graduate, a former Google executive, and sees her mission and purpose now to provide others with the support and guidance that she needed when she was struggling. She has been featured everywhere from Vogue to The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, New York, and The Times, and I'm really excited for you to meet her.Directional Living: A Transformational Guide to Fulfillment in Work and Life by Megan Hellerer
2021 was a hell of a year: My wife, Chemayne, passes in December of 2020, during the height of the pandemic; The following year is spent stumbling in a maze of confusion - (to be honest, the smoke is just starting to clear); Some solace is found online with a slavic angel of mercy;Chemayne's cat, Boo, and I (the remaining survivors) learn to tolerate, and even find comfort, in each other; Work, and music continue;Red Dead Redemption 2 becomes an obsession;and, of course.... there are lots of vivid dreams.
A lot of people have an incredibly negative view of marketing and advertising. Not too long ago, I heard somebody say that advertising is the first profession: in the Garden of Eden, the serpent said, “you need that apple.” They were saying that marketing is creating need in somebody else for your profit, whether they really need it or not. On the other hand, you could make a case that marketing is the oldest profession because of when the Bible says, “in the beginning was the Word.” God invented communication. And in many ways, at its best, that's all marketing is: communication. So let's look at 1) what marketing is, 2) what's wrong with marketing, and 3) how you can integrate the Christian faith with work in marketing, advertising, and promotion. This talk and Q&A was given by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 4, 2005. Series: Center for Faith and Work. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

On today's episode, Ali talks to Whitney, a surrogate, and her husband, Geremi, about working with ConceiveAbilities, a leading egg donor and surrogacy agency. When people think about surrogacy, they often focus on the surrogate herself—but what about her partner? The truth is, a strong, supportive partner can make all the difference. Emotional strength, physical support, shared sacrifice—surrogacy is a team effort in every sense. Today, we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at what that partnership really looks like. Whitney, an experienced surrogate with ConceiveAbilities who delivered for her intended parents about a year and a half ago—and her husband, Geremi, who serves in the U.S. Air Force, talk about Whitney's decision to become a surrogate; building their own family (including a devastating miscarriage); what happened when they met the intended parents; surrogacy and military life; and much more. They also talk about how the experience transformed not just Whitney's life, but Geremi's too.Find out more about ConceiveAbilities on IG: https://www.instagram.com/conceiveabilities/For more information on surrogacy or becoming a surrogate click on this link:https://share.conceiveabilities.com/apratorafTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: TTC; miscarriage; surrogacy; IVF; egg retrieval; surrogacy success; military lifeEPISODE SPONSORS: WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

What if the secret to saving your relationship isn't about fixing what's "wrong" with you, but about learning to deeply receive pleasure instead of constantly giving? Rebecca Greene sits down with somatic sex therapist Susan Morgan Taylor to tackle desire discrepancy - one of the most common relationship challenges. Susan shares her revolutionary Pleasure Keys Process and reveals why traditional approaches to "mismatched libido" fail, offering a transformative framework that helps women reclaim their sexuality and couples rekindle passion. Key Takeaways: ➤ Reframe "Low Libido" as Education Gap: Most desire discrepancy stems from lack of sexual education - women need about 21 minutes of warm-up time while men typically need only 2-7 minutes. ➤ Master the Three N's - Notice, Name, Negotiate: Learn to notice sensations in your body, name what you want and need, and negotiate those desires with your partner. ➤ Women Must Learn to Receive: Instead of defaulting to constant giving, women need to practice being receivers in the bedroom until giving becomes a natural overflow. ➤ Shame Starts Early and Shows Up Everywhere: Sexual shame often begins in childhood and manifests as disconnection from pleasure, faking orgasms, or complete avoidance of intimacy. ➤ Expand Your Definition of Sex: Moving beyond penetration to "pleasure, connection and enjoyment" opens up more opportunities for intimacy between partners. Powerful Quotes from Susan: "You are not broken, and it's not all your fault. Most women who are labeled 'low libido' are actually dealing with a lack of education about how their bodies work differently than men's bodies." "If we want to bring the fire back online, we need to learn how to be receivers. Your husband would probably be super thrilled if you knew what you wanted and he could do something to your body that would make you moan with pleasure - that's the hottest thing in the world to just about any man on the planet."

Have you experienced any of the following yourself, or been in a love relationship with a partner who did?You've held beliefs like, "I must be broken," or, "The world is completely dangerous."You constantly tested your partner's loyaltyYou've thought things like, "I'm too much and my needs are too much."You've played out patterns to the effect of: "If I meet your needs perfectly, maybe you won't hurt me or leave me."You've experienced health issues like chronic pain, gastrointestinal issues, or chronic fatigueYou've alternated between pushing others away or clinging tightlyYou feel confused about your relationship issues because when looking back on your childhood you've thought, "No one overly abused me, so why is this happening?"---If so, you may be dealing with complex PTSD, also known as C-PTSD. Here we delve into what C-PTSD is, what it's not, and what to do about it.We also discuss the reality that trauma is intergenerational by nature. If your parents or their parents didn't get what they needed, and if those folks don't do their healing work, they're extremely likely to pass it on. But you don't have to.Whether you're coming with anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, disorganized attachment, fearful avoidant attachment, or somewhere in between, know this: Healing is ALWAYS possible.Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast?

Text Us Your Feedback! (Likes, Dislikes, Guest/Conversation Recommendations). In this powerful episode, Brandon Clift sits down with Dr. Gary Barker, CEO and co-founder of Equimundo, to explore one of the most pressing issues affecting men today: male loneliness. Together, they examine how boys and men are taught to disconnect from their emotions, why isolation is so common across generations, and how care and connection can be reclaimed.Gary brings over 30 years of global research and advocacy to this conversation, offering a clear and compassionate look at what drives emotional isolation in men. From systemic social pressures to intergenerational trauma, he unpacks the roots of male loneliness and offers practical pathways forward. If you are a parent, partner, coach, or simply someone who cares about men's mental and emotional health, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways:Loneliness in men is not just personal. It is the result of deeply rooted social norms that discourage emotional expression and vulnerability.The cycle begins early. Boys often learn at a young age to disconnect from their feelings in order to "be a man."This pain is passed down. When men are raised without emotional connection, they often repeat those patterns as fathers and partners.Men do want connection. Equimundo's research shows that when given the tools and support, men are eager to show up differently.Change is possible. With empathy, accountability and intentional relationships, we can interrupt the patterns of harm and create a more caring future.Resources Mentioned:MenCare Global CampaignMenEngage AllianceConnect with Gary Barker:Website: Equimundo.orgLinkedIn: Gary Barker BetterHelp: Get 10% Off Your First Month Of Therapy The ManKind Podcast has partnered with Betterhelp to make it easier for listeners to access licensed mental health therapists who can aid them in their mental health journey.

Summer is here—and while kids are counting down the days until school's out, parents and grandparents might be counting something else: the cost.The good news? Some of the best family memories don't require a big budget. In fact, many of them are completely free. With a little creativity and intention, you can enjoy a summer that builds connection and joy without adding financial stress. Here are ten fun, meaningful, and no-cost activities to try this season.1. Visit Your Local LibraryLibraries today are vibrant community hubs, not just quiet places for books. Many offer summer reading programs, puppet shows, craft days, and even LEGO clubs. It's a screen-free space that fosters imagination and learning—and it won't cost a dime.2. Host a Themed Movie NightMovie nights are a classic, but turning them into themed events can make them feel extra special. Dress up like your favorite characters, make popcorn at home, and stream free movies from your library or other no-cost platforms. It's cozy, creative, and fun for all ages.3. Check Out Community EventsMany cities and towns host free concerts, movie nights, festivals, or farmers' markets during the summer. These events offer fun, fellowship, and a chance to connect with your community.4. Camp in Your BackyardYou don't need to travel far to enjoy the great outdoors. Set up a tent in your yard, roast marshmallows, and tell stories under the stars. Take time to reflect on God's handiwork with your kids. Psalm 8:3–4 reminds us how the majesty of creation points us to the Creator who cares for us deeply.5. Host a Yard SaleLet your kids gather items, make signs, and manage a mini storefront. It's not only a great way to declutter—it also teaches stewardship, contentment, and even generosity. If your kids choose to give a portion of the proceeds to someone in need, you're planting seeds of compassion early.6. Try GeocachingIf your family enjoys treasure hunts or geocaching, it's a great way to explore the outdoors. All you need is a smartphone and a free app to search for hidden “caches” in your area. It's adventurous, educational, and completely free.7. Plan a Neighborhood Game DayBring back the joy of simple play. Organize a kickball game, water balloon fight, or capture the flag in your neighborhood. Partner with other families to rotate homes and activities—it's a no-cost way to foster community and make memories that stick.8. Make a Summer Bucket ListSit down as a family and dream up a list of simple activities—things like catching fireflies, building a fort, or learning a new skill. Writing them down and checking them off together adds a sense of excitement and shared accomplishment.9. Explore NatureNature is one of God's most generous gifts. Visit local parks, walk trails, or bike together through a nearby preserve. Psalm 19:1 reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Whether it's birdsong or wildflowers, creation invites us to slow down and worship.10. Serve TogetherServing others is one of the most meaningful things a family can do. Volunteer at a local shelter, visit a nursing home, or make cookies for your neighbors. Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). A summer of service can have an eternal impact.The Riches of a Simple SummerIt's easy to believe that a fun summer must come with a hefty price tag, but God often surprises us with joy in the simplest things. Sunshine, laughter, love, and time together are among His most generous gifts—and they're completely free.So, as you make your summer plans, don't focus on what you can spend. Instead, focus on how you can wisely steward the time and relationships God has given you. After all, the best summer memories are built with presence, not purchases.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking into annuities, and I know nothing about the risks. When they say 6% for three years, is that rate guaranteed to remain locked in? I looked up the rating, and it's a B++ rating by AM Best.I have a long-term insurance policy from Genworth that started in 1999. The premiums have increased dramatically from $1,500 to $11,000 annually. We're in our early 80s and nearing the time to use the policy. The company wants us to sell, but we have a clause that stops premium payments if one of us dies. I'm unsure whether to keep the policy. I'm 60 years old and have worked at the same job for 40 years. I've become chemically sensitive to the product we manufacture and can no longer work with it. I'm basically at retirement, with all bills paid and a house paid off. I have $500,000 saved in CDs, $60,000 in the bank, and I'm thinking of putting half of the $500,000 in a lifetime mutual fund.
