Culture. Webster's defines it in the corporate realm as: the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization. How aware are YOU of YOUR COMPANY'S culture? When's the last time you really stopped and took a look at it?  How does it align with your OWN personal values as a Christ follower? And if you're a leader, what are you doing to ensure your culture aligns with God's word and will?  Romans 12:2, “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” What is ONE ACTION you will take THIS WEEK, to align YOUR CULTURE with God's will?

If you're a content creator in a business niche and you're NOT going to live events, you're missing one of the easiest ways to grow your influence, revenue, and network. But just showing up isn't enough. You need to be strategic about it. Let me walk you through exactly how to make live events your secret growth engine. 1. Pick the Right Events Don't just go to every conference in your industry. Be selective. Ask yourself: Will my ideal audience or customers be there? Will the people I want to partner or collaborate with be there? Will there be speakers who are already where I want to be? Will the people in attendance be critical to my business model of the future? Smaller, niche events are often better than the giant ones because it's easier to have real conversations. 2. Have a Plan Before You Go Treat this like a marketing campaign. Make a hit list of 5–10 people you want to meet. Connect with them on LinkedIn before the event with a simple message: “Hey, I see we're both going to [Event]. Would love to say hi while we're there.” If they respond, you can add, let me know if you want to grab coffee while there. It's an easy ask. Follow the event app so you can see where people are gathering. Most creators go in blind and just “see what happens.” Don't do that. 3. Work the Room (Even if It's Uncomfortable) Yes, some of this will feel awkward. Do it anyway. Sit at a different table each meal. Go to every networking event, even if you're tired. After a speaker session, walk up, introduce yourself, and thank them. 90% of attendees don't bother, so you'll stand out. When you sit in a session, introduce yourself to at least one person sitting by you. They will thank you for it as they are probably uncomfortable sitting by themselves. 4. Buy the Book, Get It Signed Here's a power move: If the speaker has a book, buy it BEFORE the event. Bring it with you, and after their talk say: “I loved your session. Would you mind signing this? I already bought it—it's been really helpful.” Why? Because now you're not just another attendee—you're someone who invested in their work. People remember that. When I first spoke at Hubspot's inbound, Douglas Burdett from the marketing book podcast, was standing in the back with my book Epic Content Marketing. How could I not stop and talk to him? Since then, we became fast friends and I was on his podcast I think seven times. He did that with so many speakers. 5. Follow Up Fast The magic isn't just at the event—it's what you do after. Send a quick LinkedIn or email note the next day: “Great meeting you yesterday at [Event]. Loved our chat about [Topic]. Let's keep in touch.” If you promised to send someone a resource or an intro, do it within 48 hours. Most people don't follow up, which is why this works so well. The Big Picture Look, content creation can feel like sitting alone behind a keyboard. But the fastest way to build authority and trust is face-to-face. People buy from people they know—and live events shortcut years of online grinding if you do them right. So don't just attend. Be strategic. Have a plan. Make yourself known.

Mentoring often sounds like the perfect way to steward your time in retirement—until you try it and realize it's not as intuitive as you'd hoped.For many retirees, mentoring seems like a meaningful way to invest in the next generation—a way to put their life experience to work. But what if we've misunderstood how mentoring fits into God's design for this season of life? Jeff Haanen joins us with practical stories and spiritual insight to help us reframe it.Jeff Haanen is an accomplished entrepreneur and the founder of the Denver Institute for Faith & Work. He is the author of An Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God's Purpose for the Next Season of Life and Working from the Inside Out: A Brief Guide to Inner Work That Transforms Our Outer World.Rethinking MentoringRetirement is often marketed as the reward for decades of hard work—a long-awaited season of leisure and personal fulfillment. But what if there's a deeper, richer invitation waiting for us in this chapter of life? What if retirement isn't just about what we get—but what we give?Retirement isn't the end of our calling. It's a fresh opportunity to steward our lives for God's Kingdom in powerful new ways. One of the most meaningful ways we can do that is through mentoring—especially when we reimagine it as intergenerational friendship.Many of us picture mentoring as a formal, structured relationship: scheduled coffee dates where the older offers wisdom and the younger listens. While these settings can be helpful, we've found that mentoring is most fruitful when it grows from an organic, mutual friendship.Rather than casting ourselves as sages who dispense advice, we're invited to be fellow travelers—learning, laughing, sharing, and growing together. Intergenerational friendships emphasize mutual respect, shared experiences, and spiritual growth over time.This vision of mentoring as a form of friendship has deep roots in Scripture. Jesus said to His disciples, “I no longer call you servants… I have called you friends” (John 15:15). The Apostle Paul invested in Timothy, Elijah mentored Elisha, and Naomi walked with Ruth—but in each of these relationships, we find more than just a teacher and a student. We see companions whose hearts were knit together in love and trust.In God's upside-down Kingdom, wisdom flows both ways. The older bring experience and insight; the younger bring hope, energy, and perspective. Together, we become more like Christ.What Makes Mentoring Thrive?Through our own journey and through observing others, we've seen several elements that make these relationships truly flourish:Delight in the Next Generation. Mentoring starts not with duty but with joy. When we find genuine delight in those younger than us—when we enjoy being with them, listening, and learning—we build the foundation for real connection. Affirm Before Advising. Many younger adults are uncertain about their calling or whether they have what it takes. A word of affirmation can be far more powerful than advice. Encouragement builds trust and opens the door to growth. Lead with Vulnerability. We don't need to have it all together. It's our stories of failure and God's faithfulness that often minister most deeply. Humility makes room for healing and hope. Commit for the Long Haul. There's no shortcut to transformation. Mentoring thrives when we're patient and willing to walk alongside someone over time—through victories, setbacks, and seasons of change. Ask Thoughtful Questions. Jesus often asked His disciples powerful, heart-revealing questions. We can do the same. When we help others discover truth for themselves, they take greater ownership of their journey.The local church is a natural place to start. It's one of the few places left in our culture where generations regularly gather. Maybe it's time to simply show up—to attend a young adult gathering, volunteer in youth ministry, or offer to listen and pray for someone younger.Our workplaces also offer opportunities. Even in retirement, we may still have professional wisdom worth sharing. Informal conversations, apprenticeships, or consulting can all create meaningful space for mentorship.Most importantly, we must pray. We've learned to listen—not only to our mentee but to the Holy Spirit. We ask: Lord, what do You want us to say in this moment? How can we best serve this person? Prayer is the lifeblood of all fruitful mentoring relationships.What If Retirement Looked Like This?Imagine if thousands of believers approaching retirement swapped comfort for Kingdom impact. What if instead of isolating ourselves, we stepped into churches and communities, offering our time, wisdom, and presence?We believe that mentoring may be one of the most significant contributions we can make in our later years—not only for the benefit of others, but also for our own joy and growth. As we give ourselves away, we often find our richest reward.So here's the invitation: Start showing up. Start listening. Start sharing your story. And watch what God does through friendship across generations.Help Us Equip Others to Live with PurposeRight now, more people than ever are seeking biblical wisdom to navigate their finances and their calling.

When's the last time you were UNCOMFORTABLE, OR PUT YOURSELF IN A POSITION TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE in your work? Discomfort = growth, and comfort = stagnation. The people doing the most growing are the ones that submit to spiritual and personal growth, like having a group of fellow Christ followers, who challenge them and hold them accountable, in their professional life, their leadership and business. You know what they say, if you're not growing, you're dying. The wisdom of Proverbs 27:17 says As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. John Maxwell said it best: If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.  What will YOU do this week, in your professional life, to be challenged and GROW?

In this episode of The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III challenges the common misconception that confidence is needed before taking action. He asserts that confidence actually comes after acting courageously. Highlighting the importance of 'stacking wins,' George explains how taking courageous actions builds momentum, which then fosters belief and confidence. He shares personal anecdotes and quotes to illustrate that successful individuals often start uncertain and emphasizes the importance of redefining what constitutes a 'win.' He encourages listeners to set three courage-based goals each week to begin building their confidence through consistent action.00:00 Introduction: The Myth of Confidence00:55 Welcome and Overview01:13 The Truth About Confidence02:14 Courage vs. Confidence03:21 Micro and Macro Courage04:34 Stacking Wins to Build Confidence06:55 The Confidence Cycle08:27 Setting Courage-Based GoalsYou have GREATNESS inside you.

The Old Testament can feel daunting to preach, but it's an essential part of the story we're called to tell. Many pastors avoid preaching texts of violence, trauma, and grief but what if these difficult texts are exactly what our churches need to hear? In this conversation, Old Testament scholar and Anglican priest Dr. Lissa Wray Beal offers a thoughtful and deeply encouraging guide for engaging the harder parts of Scripture. Drawing from her current writing on the book of Jeremiah and her years of pastoral ministry and academic scholarship, Lissa makes the case that these ancient texts are essential for helping congregations find language in time of suffering and struggle.Together Lissa and Jason explore: - Preaching texts of trauma with both theological clarity and pastoral care, especially in communities shaped by grief, abuse, or injustice,- Finding solidarity with Jeremiah as a model for faithful ministry in seasons of exhaustion, obscurity, or rejection,- Navigating denominational shifts with humility, theological conviction, and an openness to the diverse expressions of the Church,- Recovering the Psalms as vital resources for congregational prayer, especially in times of cultural and spiritual disorientation,- Rethinking the future of seminaries: the importance of embodied formation, theological depth, and renewed partnership with the Church.Lissa is thoughtful and pastoral, blending scholarly depth with real-world insight. This is a thoughtful conversation about formation in the word, pastoral faithfulness, and the steady grace of God in the complexity of everyday life.Show NotesLissa Wray Beal's PublicationsThe Pastorate Listener SurveyFall 2025 Pastors Retreat at Barnabas LandingSupport the Work of The PastorateThe work of strengthening pastors across Canada is only possible because of generous partners like you.

In this episode, I share lessons from top business and marketing minds — and how we can apply them in the education space.It's easy to stay in our niche, but doing so can limit our growth. I explore what happens when we step outside and learn from others.We cover pricing, client experience, creative thinking, and standing out in a busy market.TakeawaysLoud voices don't always reflect the majority. Value justifies pricing — not what others are charging. Client experience leaves a lasting impression. Creative thinking and logic go hand in hand. We don't need to be everywhere to stand out. Plan for dips in motivation to stay consistent. Looking outside our niche keeps us fresh and relevant.Sound bites"Are we listening to the loudest voices or the right ones?" "People remember how we made them feel." "Emotions aren't the opposite of logic."Enjoy :-)Sumantha____________________

God at Work: When Justice Demands More – Amos 5 - Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard  Summary: In this final sermon of the God at Work in an Unstable World series, Pastor Donnell Wyche unpacks the powerful words of the prophet Amos, challenging listeners to reimagine justice not as courtroom judgment but as the flourishing of God's creation. Drawing from Amos 5 and other prophetic voices, Pastor Donnell explains that God rejects worship when it is divorced from justice. Instead, true devotion flows from our participation in God's passion for the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor. Justice, in this vision, is not a religious add-on—it is the very heart of covenant faithfulness. Pastor Donnell urges the congregation to replace inherited notions of justice as punishment with a biblical view of justice as gardening—tending creation so that life can flourish. He reminds us that justice is about proximity, mutual care, and restoration. Whether it's standing with someone in pain, cultivating dignity in our relationships, or transforming public systems with wisdom and love, we are called to be co-laborers in God's garden. The sermon closes with a practical framework: immediate justice in our families and workplaces, proximate justice with our neighbors, and civic justice in the broader world. Rather than something reserved for the heroic few, justice is shown to be a daily, Spirit-led act of tending God's creation—an essential, life-giving calling for every follower of Jesus.

This week on the Labor Radio Podcast Weekly: From trash pick-up to the Vietnam War, from Inland Empire housing justice to Wisconsin healthcare strikes—this episode is full of grit, struggle, and solidarity. We begin with Power at Work, where Victor Mineros of the Teamsters and Kathy Torres from Local 179 break down the nationwide strike against Republic Services. These essential sanitation workers aren't just cleaning up your waste—they're cleaning up corporate greed, one picket line at a time. Then we head to Madison Labor Radio, where UAW Local 95's Enrique Castano is fighting for a fair contract at Mercy Health East Clinic. The stakes? Wages, safety, and keeping the only unionized unit in a sprawling non-profit hospital chain alive. On Teamsters 1932's Worker Power Hour, Randy Corgan speaks with Shayla Bernard from the UCR Labor Center about worker organizing and vanishing middle-class opportunity in California's vast Inland Empire. It's a call for regional labor power and research that centers real workers' voices. Finally, on the Labor Heritage Power Hour, longtime activist Michael Ansara reflects on a life of organizing—from SDS and the Civil Rights movement to community empowerment and poetry—with a moving message on The Hard Work of Hope, also the title of his new memoir.

"...We must not consider how great presents are, but in what spirit they are given..."This week, I am reading a story and quote from On Benefits by Seneca the Younger, published in 59 AD.Reflection questions:Consider the volunteers you interact with, how are you going beyond thanking them for their time and instead honoring the gift of their own self?How are we giving them an opportunity to grow and restore themselves into better versions of themselves?Reflection on quote:In the nonprofit world, we frequently use some form of the saying, Work, Wisdom, and Wealth, to refer to the various forms of generosity. With that first gift, work, we are seeing a decline in volunteerism.  So, let's consider how to care for the generosity of time.  From Seneca's perspective, time is a gift of one's self and of great price. In fundraising, we discuss the donor's journey and how we are stewarding them. What is the donor journey for volunteers?  We have an opportunity to recognize these volunteers as some of our greatest donors.  We give them the circumstances to expand their sense of belonging, their community, and their knowledge. The circumstances for self growth.
