Are you exhausted from trying to force things to happen in your own strength? Discover how your greatest breakthrough is actually waiting for you to face your fears and start wrestling with God. In this message by Elliott Warren, we explore why we often try to fulfill God's promises through our own works—just like Abraham did with Ishmael—and why that ultimately limits what God wants to do in our lives. You'll learn the profound difference between casual prayer and the persistent, fervent prayer that truly gets results. By looking at the life-changing story of Jacob wrestling with God, this sermon will equip you to stop striving, let go of what isn't meant for you, and cling to God for your true blessing. If you're tired of running and ready for a transformation, this message is for you. 00:00:00 - Introduction: Finding Victory in Daily Struggles 00:08:37 - Why God Transforms Us Through Encounters 00:16:20 - The Breakthrough Hiding Behind Your Fears 00:24:25 - The Power of Fervent, Persistent Prayer 00:27:57 - What It Really Means to Wrestle With God 00:46:00 - Stop Trying to Force It: The Lesson of Ishmael 00:53:30 - The Danger of Attaching Your Heart to the Wrong Thing 00:58:08 - How to Let Go and Trust God's Plan If this message encouraged you, please subscribe to our channel and share it with a friend who needs to hear it! #sermon #church #faith #Jesus #christianity #trustinggod #lettinggo #spiritualbreakthrough #wrestlingwithgod #overcomingfear #stopstriving #faithjourney #findingpurpose #christianmotivation #surrender Welcome to the official channel of Cross Culture Global, the digital-first media ministry of Cross Culture Church, led by Pastor Elliott Warren.

Joe Pine is an internationally recognized author, speaker, and advisor, best known for The Experience Economy and his latest work, The Transformation Economy. In this episode, Joe explains why the market is finally ready—25 years later—for the shift to the transformation economy. He walks through the evolution of economic value, from commodities to goods, services, experiences, and now transformations, and makes the case that businesses must stop charging for inputs and start charging for outcomes. Joe introduces the four spheres of transformation—Health & Wellbeing, Wealth & Prosperity, Knowledge & Wisdom, and Purpose & Meaning—and argues that the true role of business is human flourishing: helping people become who they're meant to be. Profit isn't the goal; it's the scorecard. We also explore "encapsulation"—preparation, reflection, and integration—and why it's the key to turning experiences into lasting change. Joe breaks down why outcomes-based pricing is both the hardest shift and the biggest opportunity for transformation-driven companies. In this conversation, you'll learn how to spot transformation opportunities in your business, move beyond time-based pricing, and align what you charge with what customers actually value.

Watch this Episode on YouTube | Joe Pine on You're Charging for the Wrong Thing with Joe Pine https://bit.ly/TLP-499 Key Takeaways [04:04] Joe explains why the world is finally ready for the transformation economy after 25 years of people asking when he'd write this book. [09:11] The four spheres of transformation: Health & Wellbeing, Wealth & Prosperity, Knowledge & Wisdom, and Purpose & Meaning—and why almost every business can find themselves in at least one. [12:59] The difference between fitness centers (charging for time as an experience) versus personal trainers (instilling discipline for transformation). [17:42] Why companies must eventually align what they charge for with what customers value—and how this drives the shift to outcomes-based pricing. [22:09] Joe introduces "invitational transformations"—experiences that invite people to transform their identity (like the Guinness Storehouse or Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library). [26:38] Human flourishing defined: the extent to which people are who they're meant to be. This is the raison d'être of business. [34:09] The concept of encapsulation: Preparation (before the experience), Reflection (after), and Integration (ongoing)—the framework that turns experiences into transformations. [35:59] How Joe wrote the book on Substack, getting real-time feedback from subscribers that fundamentally changed key frameworks in the book. [44:18] Joe's vision for transformation businesses: charge for demonstrated outcomes, foster human flourishing, and recognize that profits measure how well you help people flourish—not the end goal itself. [46:46] And remember..."The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic. Transformation begins with a change in mindset." — Peter Drucker Quotable Quotes "You are what you charge for. If you charge for undifferentiated stuff, you're in the commodities business. If you charge for demonstrated outcomes that your customers achieve, you're in the transformation business." "Eventually you have to align what you charge for with what your customers value. Let me say it again: Eventually you have to align what you charge for with what your customers value." "Fostering human flourishing is the raison d'être of business, period. That's why business exists—to help people flourish." "Human flourishing is the extent to which people are who they're meant to be." "The irony is of course that you may be offering a transformation guarantee, but that's exactly what you can't actually do. You can't guarantee a transformation. However, the best way to get it to happen is to offer a guarantee." "Profits are never the end. They're always the measurement by which you achieve the ends of human flourishing."

Questions about Greg placing his faith in his personal assessment of which truth claims best match reality rather than in the revelation of God in Jesus and a personal encounter with the Spirit, and how to fight thoughts that God isn't real when you know he is real. Please respond to this critique of Greg Koukl: “Those who place their faith in their personal assessment of which truth claims best correspond to reality are placing their faith in something other than the revelation of God in Jesus Christ and a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit.” I struggle with thoughts that God isn't real even though I know he's real. How do I fight this?
How to Support Your LGBTQ Child Without Saying the Wrong Thing with Heather Hester Supporting your LGBTQ child can feel terrifying—not because you don't love them, but because you do, and you're afraid of messing it up. So many moms tell me the same thing: they want to be supportive, but they feel frozen. What if they say the wrong thing? What if they accidentally hurt their child? What if their child thinks they don't truly accept them? If that's you, this episode is here to help. In today's conversation, I'm joined by Heather Hester, host of the podcast More Human, More Kind and author of Parenting with Pride. Heather helps parents move from fear into informed love—with clarity, compassion, and courage. Together, we talk about how to show up for your child even when you're scared, without needing perfect words or performative allyship. What You'll Learn in This Episode The biggest fear that keeps supportive parents silent and why worrying about “saying the wrong thing” doesn't mean you're failing your child. The difference between being a supportive ally and a performative one, and how to show up in ways that actually feel authentic to you. Three mindset shifts that help you support your LGBTQ child with confidence: Embracing being messy and imperfect Understanding that it's not your child's job to teach you—it's your responsibility to learn Believing your child when they tell you who they are What to say when you don't know what to say, including simple language you can return to when fear takes over. How fear shows up in your body and why recognizing your stress response helps you choose connection instead of panic. Why This Episode Matters Your child doesn't need you to be perfect. They need you to be present. They need you to be willing. And they need you to keep coming back—even when you stumble. This episode is about letting go of the pressure to “get it right” and replacing it with something more powerful: connection, repair, and courage.

In today's episode, I share a hard lesson about identity, money, and the people we choose. From negotiating a billion dollar deal on day one to losing everything in 2008, I explain how tying self worth to money distorted my decisions and my circle. I talk about frequency, awareness, and why teams and positions matter more than chasing status. I break down how knowing what you want, reframing the meaning of your past, and aligning daily behaviors turns possibilities into probabilities. This episode connects faith, discipline, and attention to building a life that feels full, grounded, and honest, without shortcuts or empty promises.
"I'm still stuck."You know what God made you for. You might even be starting to see momentum. But there's something blocking you from actually stepping into it.Barry discovered why—and it's not what you think.It's not about trying harder. It's not about more faith. And it's definitely not about holding on tighter.In this conversation, Barry unpacks what he learned from Jacob's wrestling match that completely changed how he understood breakthrough. Because sometimes the very thing we think will get us there is actually what's keeping us grounded.He explains:▪️Why Jacob's wrestling match wasn't about fighting God▪️The "finisher mentality" that prolongs your wilderness season▪️Why you can't receive breakthrough while holding on to your own strength▪️The GPS vs Compass problem (and why clarity isn't the answer)▪️The 3 reasons people never experience breakthrough▪️How community unlocks your identity in ways isolation never can00:00 Intro03:44 "I Know I Was Born for This—So Why Do I Feel Stuck?"05:46 What Jacob Was Really Wrestling (It Wasn't God)09:00 How We Try to Step Into God's Promises With Our Own Power10:23 Why the Limp Wasn't Punishment—It Was the Goodness of God22:35 The "Finisher Mentality" That Keeps You in the Wilderness Longer25:07 The Shocking Truth: You Can't Receive Until You Stop Holding On28:09 What Happens When You Finally Let Go of Your Own Strength30:11 The One Thing to Pass On to Your Kids: God Is Good (Not Just Powerful)43:05 Why Trying to Find Your Identity Alone Always Fails46:21 The Truth About Community: It's Where Identity Gets Validated49:32 The 3 Reasons You'll Never Experience Breakthrough52:52 Identity Unlocks Meaning—And Meaning Unlocks Everything Else55:30 The GPS vs Compass Problem (And Why You're Asking for the Wrong Thing)56:34 Why We Made Desperation the High Watermark of Faith (And Why That's Tragic)57:53 How Hearing God Opens the Door to Identity1:00:00 "Give Me My Life Plan So I Don't Need You"—The Scary Truth We Won't Say1:02:22 Do You Actually Trust That God Is Good?

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the right things but nothing is really changing? In this episode, we talk about how easy it is to focus on the latest trend — a new workout, a new diet, or a new “fix” — and miss the bigger picture of what actually needs to change. None of these things are bad, but when we use them to avoid the real work, we stay stuck. After you listen, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message on Facebook or email me and tell me what you thought you needed to do before this episode — and what you realized you actually need to focus on now. Reflection questions: What do I want my life and health to look like one year from now? Does what I'm doing right now actually support that? What got in my way last week? Be specific. Where do I tend to go off the rails — weekends, stress, social events, boredom? Am I looking for a shortcut instead of a habit? What feels uncomfortable that I keep avoiding? If I stopped chasing new plans, what's one boring thing I know would help? Mentioned in this episode:

Let's just say it: some of you are losing time, sleep, and opportunities because you're afraid to speak up. Not because you don't know what you want to say — but because you're scared of saying it wrong. So you sit on it. You rehearse the conversation 20 times in your head. You rework the email draft. You “wait for the right time.” But the truth is, you're not waiting for the right time — you're avoiding the discomfort of being misunderstood, disagreed with, or making things awkward. This episode is for the person who's tired of overthinking every sentence. Tired of holding it in, sugarcoating things, or walking away thinking, I should've said something. We're not going to “boost your confidence.” We're going to dismantle the lie that if you just say it the right way, conflict will magically disappear. I'll walk you through where this fear actually comes from, what it costs you over time, and how to build real reps in communication that actually works — even if it's messy, uncomfortable, or imperfect. ____________________ Here's what you'll learn in this episode: •The real reason you're scared to say the wrong thing •What to say when someone gets frustrated so you don't shut down or spiral •How to stop overthinking every email, post, or tough conversation ____________________ Follow Us: Website: ArtofCoaching.com Instagram: @coach_brettb X: @coach_brettb

In this episode, Larry breaks down what it actually takes to build and protect a premium brand at the top end of the market, how he orchestrates massive productions with a small team, and why learning to say no early was essential to attracting the right clients and scaling without lowering the bar.

Eric argues that true failure often results from working hard on the wrong tasks, rather than a lack of effort. He emphasizes the "nobility of quitting the wrong thing," stressing that stopping ineffective tactics or habits is a strategic move, not a sign of weakness. To illustrate this, Eric provides examples from business, such as contractors focusing on marketing before improving their sales skills, and personal growth, highlighting how clinging to an "old identity" or avoiding the "uncomfortable learning curve" can impede progress. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the importance of self-awareness—especially concerning one's personality type—to recognize when to pivot, evolve, and employ better strategies for achieving ultimate goals. Key Takeaways: Focus on quitting the wrong tactics and habits so the right ones have room to breathe. If your consistent hard work is not leading to progress, evaluate whether you are focused on the wrong activities. Prioritize getting necessary feedback and making adjustments quickly rather than waiting for initial perfection. Build a strong structure and culture within your team to avoid the costly cycle of hiring and firing. Use the 1-3-1 method to train your team members to think critically and recommend their own solutions to problems.
Hey, humans! Last week we excavated our "why", and this week, we're talking about how to make it actionable. I'm sharing the most powerful lesson I've learned: your "why" isn't just a statement; it's your decision-making filter. It defines where you say yes and, more importantly, where you finally say no. I'll walk you through how my why helped me walk away from a financially great opportunity because it demanded sacrificing the boundaries I teach you to protect. I'm also sharing the biggest professional decision I've made in years. I'll show you why this opportunity was an absolute yes and how it allows me to live my purpose of elevating the human experience on an even greater scale. Ready for your challenge? We're auditing your calendar to find out where you're currently living (or not living) your "why" at work. Get your green and red markers ready. This is how individual transformation creates true alignment! Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.
Are you spending hours "fixing" things in a PDF that your screen reader users will never notice? In this episode Chad Chelius and Dax Castro ask a hard question: Are you fixing the wrong thing? We pop open the tags tree and talk about what really affects user experience and what is just busywork. From span tags and container tags that never get voiced, to lists that read like run-on paragraphs, to title tags vs H1s, role maps, and tables without proper scope, we walk through where your time actually matters. If you have ever deleted 200 span tags by hand, fought with a list that "looks fine," or wrestled with complex tables in Acrobat, CommonLook, or axesPDF, this episode will help you rethink your workflow and prioritize the fixes that make a real difference for assistive technology users.

Laurence Endersen is an investment professional with over 30 years of experience and author of three books, including The Compounder's Element, who champions patient wealth building through understanding one's natural investing temperament and staying disciplined within it.Episode Sponsor: Fiscal AI is a modern data terminal—use my link for a two-week free trial plus 15% off: https://fiscal.ai/talkingbillions/EPISODE NOTES3:00 - Laurence shares formative experiences: working in his father's TV repair shop taught him the real difficulty of earning money, while losing his mother at 13 accelerated his maturity and independence. His father's entrepreneurial spirit and inventor grandfather sparked curiosity about how money works beyond academic theory.8:00 - Introduction to markets came through Australian state privatizations in Sydney—experiencing “day one pops” felt like magic compared to traditional work, though he admits being “curious and clueless” initially. The addiction to stock market gains revealed the difference between “power by the hour” versus “share of value” business models.13:00 - Evolution of investing philosophy: “Most of my learning has been in the last five years of those 30.” Key revelation: understanding what game you're actually playing matters more than technical prowess. Patient compounding over long horizons (the “n” in the formula) reduces pressure on achieving exceptional returns.22:00 - The “elements” framework: investors have natural temperaments—Lar identifies as a “Compounder” focused on long-term wealth building. Mismatch between element and strategy causes problems. “If you're always improving, your best days are always ahead.”38:00 - On competitive advantages: companies with pricing power, network effects, and multi-decade runways compound extraordinary value. “The delta between a good business and a great business is seismic over time.”52:00 - AI's impact on investing: tools democratize analysis but won't eliminate competitive advantages. “With these tools you're more likely to go up to the third or fourth question—but so will everybody else.” The real edge remains knowing when you have enough information to act.68:00 - Definition of success from Stephen Covey: “Live, love, learn, and leave a legacy.” Acknowledges having “a billion heartbeats” behind him with an “indeterminable number” ahead—emphasizes time as ultimate constraint.Podcast Program – Disclosure StatementBlue Infinitas Capital, LLC is a registered investment adviser and the opinions expressed by the Firm's employees and podcast guests on this show are their own and do not reflect the opinions of Blue Infinitas Capital, LLC.

The year was 1986, and, perhaps unbeknownst to them at the time, Robert Ellis Orrall and his band recorded their final album together. Nearly 40 years later, the boys are back with “Wrong Thing,” a heartfelt collection of music that involves some powerful connections. In this episode, Robert shares what it was like to reunite with the band and be back in the studio after all these years. We go into the different songs and the stories behind them, including “Crazier,” which Robert co-wrote with the legend Taylor Swift back when she was just starting out. Robert and the band haven't just been recording new music. They've been on stage as well and he talks about that experience and their plan for some new releases in the future. Around 20 years ago, Robert started Infinity Cat Recordings, and talks about the industry and its many changes over the years. Closing out this interview is “When I Need To Feel You,” a song that really connected with me.

What moves the needle on your business? What actually brings in the money? Is it your marketing? Is it the ability to close? When you are evaluating what is bringing in the revenue - you've got to ensure you've got your finger on the pulse. If you're thinking of outsourcing your marketing - I'm going to encourage you to pause on that.

What happens when you say the wrong thing online - or at work - and suddenly feel the world closing in? Clare Stephens knows this all too well. After publishing an article that completely missed the mark, she was hit with a wave of outrage that forced her to rethink how she apologised, how she listened, and how she led. In this episode, I sit down with Clare Stephens, writer, podcaster, and former editor-in-chief at Mamamia. We talk about the lessons she’s learnt from being on the receiving end of online criticism, what makes an apology actually land, and how leaders can foster a culture where mistakes don’t spell disaster. Clare also shares how she walked away from what she thought was her dream role to pursue a more creative and values-aligned path. By the end of our conversation, you’ll have a new lens on handling criticism, leading with empathy, and making decisions that keep you true to yourself. Clare and I discuss: Why Clare avoids the term “cancel culture” and what she sees instead The psychological toll of public shaming and internet outrage How constructive feedback – not angry comments – changed her perspective The key difference between apologising online and at work Why leaders fear saying the wrong thing, and how to navigate this Clare’s decision-making hack for choosing what to say yes and no to How comparison with her twin sister shaped her career – and what motherhood taught her about self-worth Key Quotes “The less you do, the quicker the fire ends.” “Sometimes saying yes is just procrastination.” Connect with Clare Stephens on Instagram, LinkedIn and pre-order her latest book The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Done here.
