It's an art form, but it's not rocket science. It's courageous, but it's not not cushy or comforting. And it's saying no in meaningful ways, rather than saying yes to everything.Psychological safety is as much about what it's not, as what it is. It's a phenomenon that's nuanced, ephemeral and often misconceived, asking all of us - facilitator and participant - to hold out our arms to discomfort, take risks, make mistakes and dance in our humanness.But to achieve it, and then keep it alive for everyone, takes great self-awareness, emotional regulation - and for us facilitators to feel safe first. Join me for a special solo episode - an hour dedicated entirely to the art of psychological safety!Find out about:My 4 practical tips for leaders to create psychological safety around youAnd 4 ways leaders can build psychological safety for themselvesBeyond the buzzword, what does it really mean to achieve psychological safety?Why small mistakes can evolve into bigger risks when safety is absentMaking every voice count, and feel safe, with the power of using “Yes, and ___”The importance of cultivating your own emotional literacy and setting boundariesDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Connect to Myriam Hadnes:LinkedInWebsiteSupport the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.

The way I think about it:We come into and leave this world accompanied by our souls. While here, one of our tasks is to maintain our connection to that inner wisdom, which guides and nourishes us in a world that otherwise can feel harsh and cold. Our soul doesn't judge us or try to fix us. It doesn't need us to be more or do more. Its unconditional love is akin to an adoring dog who only wants us to stop, be present, and see what it sees.The challenge is the neuronal wiring we develop from cultural inputs that discount this vital relationship with ourselves. We're trained to project onto others our strengths and even our shadow. We find ourselves disappointed when others can't carry that weight of our expectations.If this most vital relationship is neglected, our human connections suffer. Our relationships may feel shallow or intense and dramatic. We'll resent and blame others unconsciously for losing ourselves. Unaddressed, this comes out in the form of hurting others, or it gets repressed and fuels addiction, a range of symptoms, and chronic health conditions.Instead of rom-coms about finding the perfect person and living happily ever after, we need more stories about people falling in love with themselves. “I complete me.” The healthiest relationships are between people who honor this need in themselves and each other.Below is a blessing I print and include in birthday cards to those I love. To me, it speaks to the soul. This week, I share it with myself and with you - in honor of your arrival.Birthday Blessingby John O'Donohue (late Irish poet and, I would say, mystic)If you'd like to hear his lovely voice reading this, listen here at 8:15“Blessed be the mind that dreamed the dayThe blueprint of your lifeWould begin to glow on earth,Illuminating all the faces and voicesThat would arrive to inviteYour soul to growth.Praised be your father and mother,Who loved you before you were,And trusted to call you hereWith no idea who you would be.Blessed be those who have loved youInto becoming who you were meant to be,Blessed be those who have crossed your lifeWith dark gifts of hurt and lossThat have helped to school your mindIn the art of disappointment.When desolation surrounded you,Blessed be those who looked for youAnd found you, their kind handsUrgent to open a blue windowIn the gray wall formed around you.Blessed be the gifts you never notice,Your health, eyes to behold the world,Thoughts to countenance the unknown,Memory to harvest vanished days,Your heart to feel the world's waves,Your breath to breathe the nourishmentOf distance made intimate by earth.On this echoing-day of your birth,May you open the gift of solitudeIn order to receive your soul;Enter the generosity of silenceTo hear your hidden heart;Know the serenity of stillnessTo be enfolded anewBy the miracle of your being.”To learn more about the root causes of brain symptoms and the consultations that I offer, visit courtneysnydermd.comDisclaimer:This podcast is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for yourself or others, including but not limited to patients you are treating (if you are a practitioner).

How does God's unparalleled strength and endless compassion redefine how we see Him and ourselves?Psalm 145I will exalt You, my God the King;I will praise Your name for ever and ever.Every day I will praise Youand extol Your name for ever and ever.Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;His greatness no one can fathom....In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the profound question: 'Who is like the Lord?' We're challenged to meditate on God's wonderful works, both in Scripture and in our own lives, as a pathway to deeper praise and understanding of His nature. Psalm 145 serves as our guide, revealing God's character through His deeds. We're reminded that God's grace and compassion are not just observations, but His very self-revelation. The story of the Prodigal Son is beautifully unpacked, illustrating God's limitless grace and compassion. This message encourages us to replace thoughts of shame and unworthiness with the truth of God's unconditional love, urging us to embrace His grace fully in our daily lives.Reflection Questions:1. Reflect on a time when you experienced God's powerful intervention. How did it impact your faith?2. Why is it important to recount the stories of God's work across different generations?3. How can the knowledge of God's unchanging nature motivate you in your everyday life?Further Reading:Psalm 78:1-7Deuteronomy 6:4-9Exodus 34:6-7"Crazy Love" by Francis ChanThank you for joining us.

You start with little experiments and you observe more than you normally would.Lesley Logan 0:13 Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach.

Lesley Logan 0:54 Be It babe, get ready to be inspired. I know you always are. I'm just gonna say, of course, the episodes are always great, but I have been looking forward to today's interview for a really long time. I watched this woman when she was on stage, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I could not and she was running around the stage, and like most keynote speakers, I always get something out of but like, it was like a cardio it was a show, it was an entertainment, it was all these things. And I learned so much from her, and I wrote her name down, like, I have to have her on the podcast. And then life got a little bit busy. Stuff was going crazy. I had a little bit of like, who might ask her? Like, and then about eight months later, this girlfriend, who I've had on the show, Jessica Papineau, was like, oh, you should know Erin. Like, oh, you know how to get in touch with Erin, because I absolutely I can awe of her, right? And so she put us in contact. We had a phone call that went for like an hour. We felt like it was like a friend that I've always known, but I just met, and two weeks later, we had dinner together, and sure book, The 50% Rule is coming out, and you must pre-order it or order it if it's already out by this comes out, but I'm telling you, it will be a mantra that you use, just like be it till you see it is. And I hope it is. I really, really hope it is. I really am in love with what she's doing, and I do think it's something that can actually help propel you out of stuckness or feeling like there's too much on your plate and you don't know how to take action. Like I really do think this is great. So here's Erin Hatzikostas and I am obsessed. So after this, please follow her, stalk her, get this book. Let us know what your favorite part is. I know Erin would love to hear that. And by the way, if you ever have something to say to any of our guests, I promise you you're not bothering them if you tell them. I promise you. And if you're too afraid to DM them, then comment it on the social posts and tag them. Or you don't have to tag them, because guess what? They're tagged on it and they will see it. So you have no idea when you leave a comment like that, when you share people, it lets people like Erin and myself and our other guests know, like, oh my gosh, they get it. The impact of my intent was there. So here's Erin. Lesley Logan 2:57 All right, Be It babe, this is going to be an amazing conversation. I know already because I've had amazing conversations with our guest today. Erin Hatzikostas is our guest. She is the author of You Do You(ish) and her upcoming book, The 50% Rule. And I'm gonna tell you, in honor of today's interview, I 50% ruled my makeup and getting ready today. It was like, today is not gonna be the day that we do it 100% so. And I was like, It's Erin, though, and she would be honored by me doing that. So Erin, tell everyone who you are and what you rock at.Erin Hatzikostas 3:26 So first of all, I have to make a comment, because so I did do my makeup. Sometimes I have big girl days. I did an, I did an interview before this too, but we had a mattress delivered this morning. After, like, 12 years, we're past our 10th year we got, finally got a new mattress. We did Safa, which is the online one. Anyway, we're super excited about it. So the guys brought it. They got it all up. They get down. Guys going to say goodbye, tipped him, and he looks at me and he goes, by the way, I like your makeups. It was like, first of all, it was random. Second of all, if you know me, first of all, I'm almost 50. I was not born and raised in the YouTube video. So, like, I do my makeup the same way I probably did it when I was freaking 16. It's like, totally junior league. And to have a guy like, have the guts to like, and I didn't take it as like a, anyway. So it's funny that you brought up makeup, just like, two hours ago, I had some random mattress delivery dudes on the way out say, I like your your makeup.Lesley Logan 4:26 You're having a great day. And I love it. It's a big girl day. You know what? I have big girl days. And then some days I'm like, we're just not even doing that today. We're just gonna not.Erin Hatzikostas 4:34 No. And then some of them, you know, when I'm like, looking scroungy and I might have to meet with a client or, sort of, you know, not a friend. Here's what I do. I like, oh, you're getting to see author friend. And they think it's so cool, because I'll have the headband, I'll have my glasses, and my hair is clearly, you know, dirty, but I brand it as like author Erin and I think they think it's like a little cooler, even though I haven't written shit in three months, since my last book has been (inaudible). That's another tip. Lesley Logan 5:01 You just gave everyone a tip. You guys just brand the other look like you're getting, you're getting like journal person. You're getting like artists. You're getting, I'm deep in thought.Erin Hatzikostas 5:12 Yeah, just freaking name it. Name it. You know, you know, in this world, naming it is (inaudible).Lesley Logan 5:17 Gardener Lesley. Brad would laugh. He's like Lesley, garden, no way. Okay, so thank you for all those tips already. But back to you. You're amazing. Who are you? Erin Hatzikostas 5:27 So it's funny. I will first tell you what my son calls me. So a couple years ago, he was out in the kitchen making a bagel. So it was just sort of a random moment, and he says to me, I think he was about 11, 10 or 11, and he says, Mommy, do you know what a perfectionist is? And I said, yeah, Mick, I do. He goes, you're an imperfectionist. So in honor of sort of a lot of the people that listen, who I know can get caught in the perfectionism, I am a professional imperfectionist, apparently based on my son. But you know, background, I am a former corporate CEO. I was an executive that somehow swindled my way into a CEO position of 1000-person company, had great, quote-unquote, what I thought was luck, turned it around, and always thought that I was going to be found out, though, even though I'm not like, it wasn't imposter syndrome, not like I'd gotten a memo on that, but I would look around and notice that a lot of my peers and colleagues were sacrificing a lot more than me, right? They were getting on planes more often. They were moving their families for things. They were giving up vacations. They were working nights and weekends. And, you know, I worked hard, but I wasn't doing that, and so I sort of had this super, super great turnaround to the company, but I thought, oh shit, my luck's gonna run out soon. And then I just, I decided it was time to retire. I technically could retire because I'd been there so long. I was only 42 years old, but it was technically a retirement. And I just was itching for something new. I thought I would go run maybe a smaller startup, healthcare, financial services company, because that's the place I was in, and when I went to leave, everybody kept saying, we're going to miss your authenticity. We're going to miss your authentic leadership. And I wasn't surprised they called me that, but it wasn't this thing that people were throwing that badge on me when we were running around in the rat race. And what I realized was that I wasn't actually getting lucky, or that I wasn't going to be found out. I was just playing a different game than everybody else, and I was actually, at the time, subconsciously using authenticity as my strategic advantage, my way to sort of compete in a league of my own, because most executives weren't dancing with their employees celebrating a big IT win. They weren't writing their own emails. They're letting their corporate comms people do it, like I, I didn't realize it until that moment that the things that really I had learned from my father, subconsciously also, were actually my strategic advantage. And so that's when I, I started blogging, writing blogs up in the the hockey bleachers at practice, like in a Word document, like, if I ever actually had something to say on a blog, whatever that is, this is what I would say. And one day, I looked down and I was like, holy shit, there are 53 pages, I have some stuff. I have some stuff to say. And one thing led to another. And that's when I finally realized that, oh my gosh, what helped me have success was also the same thing that helped me enjoy for the most part in my days, being in the corporate world, being an executive, being in a high-pressure thing, and I sort of had like this magic formula and a view of authenticity that everybody else wasn't seeing. I knew it wasn't simply be yourself. That's not the real definition. And so I thought, well, crap. I think I need to go out and talk about, teach this, and that's what I've been doing for five and a half years like a weirdo. Lesley Logan 8:50 That is the best weirdo. And also it's so interesting that you say, I remember your story of like being found out, like not get on these planes. I remember during this time that I was in corporate fitness. Everyone who was in management was like, they're there as soon as the club opened 'til when the club closed, sometimes, especially the last week of every month that I was sneaking off on a plane to go study in Colorado. And I was like, yeah, well, you can access reports online. There's this thing called this internet. And so I remember when someday they're gonna find out that I'm not there, you know, and but also, I was hitting all of these numbers and having amazing success, and I was teaching the people who were underneath me who had studios. I'm like, here's how you do it, here's how you plan your vacations, here's how you plan your life, here, here's how you would teach all these different things. And I was like, I'm gonna get found out one day, and one day it wasn't I was found out. They're just like, oh, you gotta run the reports this way, and you've got to do meetings like this. And I was like, that is not it. And if that's what you want, I'm retiring because, and it's like, I really felt like, you know, and it's this authenticity, it's just like, doesn't have to work. Everyone is doing this thing this way, but there's another way to do it and have fun and be yourself, but like, be yourself at work, you know? Erin Hatzikostas 10:01 Right. Right. I think, yeah, it was just actually on another I was interviewing somebody from my podcast before this, and we were talking about, okay, it's such a no-brainer, right, to be authentic, especially in the corporate workplace, better retention culture, but also externally, it's easier to sell. You know, you stand up and just like, I just don't understand why nobody does it. And what I told her, you know, I think it's helpful to diagnosis, because whenever you have a no-brain solution, and then you walk away, and then you're like, okay, I heard all that stuff. But why the fuck am I just not doing the things that I should? Why am I not changing? I think a big part of it is for so many years in school and college, we're taught that success is the answer is C, the answer is 72, the answer is, you know, here's the rubric, right? And we judge ourselves based on following that rubric, that box. And then we go to the corporate world, and nobody sits us down and says, what we care about most is results and how you get there, unlike what you've been doing for the last 20 years of your life, it really doesn't matter. And so we sort of go into this like, gotta look right, gotta get the rubric right, don't want to look stupid, there's one path that the teacher laid out, and it's totally not the case. That, you know, it screws us up. Lesley Logan 10:01 Yeah it does. It screws us up. It makes us, it almost makes us be pretending to be doing because we gotta make sure we check all the boxes. Erin Hatzikostas 11:28 Yeah, pretend, like you were checking the boxes. Like, oh, if I'm seen, I'm gonna get the rubric right. Like somebody who's judging me is responsible for telling me if I'm a good worker or not, is not going to give me the five points for staying till late on the end of the month. And it's like, wait, no, there isn't a rubric actually, there's just like, we want you to get results. Lesley Logan 11:51 Yeah, we get stuck on like, what people see versus what the results are. And I think that's because no one is really so like you said, you dance with the people like, no one's actually celebrating the results. They're so focused on being seen doing the steps, that when we get results, people are like, okay, next thing. Instead of going, hey, we got, these are the results we got. And like, how did we get there? And like, what worked and what didn't work, celebrating that result part, as opposed to focusing so much on the check marks that could maybe possibly not get you results.Erin Hatzikostas 12:21 I would say yes and no. I would say almost. I think that the results eventually get, quote-unquote, celebrated. Maybe there's not a party, but whether it's you're an entrepreneur and it's your client, or you're in the corporate world and it's your boss promoting you, those results get rewarded, maybe not celebrated, but rewarded. But we're so addicted to the short term it's like, for this hour, I want to look cool on this meeting. I want to look right. Not cool, it's probably the wrong word. I want to look right, right? And so we're addicted to, like, short-term results. And if we were just comfortable a little bit like, when I became interim CEO. I was interim first, because that's what us ladies sometimes get to do, you know, the trial period, make sure there isn't anybody better. That's a whole nother story. I know there was a solid month or two where my boss, who was very rant, rant, rant, was a woman probably thought I was nuts and was going to fail, like I was doing some crazy negotiations, etc. But there is that period where, yeah, you might not look like you're going to do right, or people might doubt you. And there were definitely tangible things that happened where I was like, she doubts me, I'm sure. But, Lesley, as soon as I started getting results. Now for me, because I was running a business that was very tangible, like, literally every month we had to do a monthly operating reviews where we went through the frickin financial like, that's right, it was very tangible. It's like, here are the financials, here's our forecast, here's our actuals. But as soon as she started to see that turn around as a leading indicator, and then later, probably started to see, oh, employees really like her, oh, her employee engagement score, she didn't give two hoots about, how I did it and if I did it different, and it's just having the courage in that interim period. And I mean that like small I, not like interim CEO, but in that short term period, to forego that instant gratification of feeling like people think you did it right, so that you can hold out for the bigger reward, and then you can, you know, celebrate it all you want. Lesley Logan 12:25 Okay, you answered the question I was gonna ask, because I was like, how do you do that, though? And you said, having the courage. And I think that's the, think that's the hardest part, like, where do you find your courage? How do you how do people, you know, is that gonna, is there an answer to that? Erin Hatzikostas 14:30 Yeah, it's data. It's data. And I don't mean data in the traditional sense. For me, and I didn't know this till I wrote my first book because sometimes we have to slow the frick down and then, you know, I'm 40, whatever I was, 40 years, 44 years old writing a book and I was like, oh, oh, crap, I didn't know that, for me, it started, I had a lot of data from my father. My father was a teacher for 20 some years, and he took an early retirement package, and then he became a real estate agent, and he was very, very authentic. And he would tell stories every night. He would come home, and instead of bitching and moaning about this person or this student, most of the stories I heard, or at least remember are about how he got the attention of his students differently. He did some wacky game, and it even translated as he went into real estate, which I was just coming out of college when he was making that transition. So I was starting, and I would watch his success in real estate, and he would tell stories about, oh, I met with this client, and I didn't bullshit them about the, you know, the price of their home. I told them, you know, it was like, all these, like, where he was. You could tell he was just doing a little different, because it was easy to know what the normal box was for a real estate agent. And so to me, I got a jump start on data. So I saw again, very subconsciously, oh, when he does this, he has success. And so as I went in to the workplace, I started doing experiments, I call them, it all, I would do a little thing and I would notice, oh, people all of a sudden pay attention on this meeting when normally they're like, on their blackberries back in the day or whatever it is. And so I think for people, you don't wake up tomorrow and go from being nervous about being authentic to being as authentic AF as me. You start with little experiments, and you observe more than you normally would. So you might write an email that's got a little like, the workplace is so easy, the bar is so low, so it's just like, maybe you change a word instead of saying, our results weren't that great. You could say our results were really poopy, you know, or just like, one little word, just like talking a little more flippant, talking a little more human. Actually, my number one thing I have people first experiment, change your out of office. Make it, doesn't even have to be funny, just make it like human. Tell people what you're doing. I'm going to a softball tournament this weekend. I'm taking a three-day weekend. Or, you know, a lot of people make them a lot more fun, and then observe what happens. And I guarantee you people are gonna, oh my gosh, I love those days when we used to go to tournaments. My kids are older now or oh, that's so amazing that you did a trip to Ireland. We went there, back and blah, blah, blah. I love your out of office. So it really is about taking little experiments. That's why I love what I do. Like, I'm not a motivational speaker. I'm a get shit done better speaker. My books aren't about like, first of all, they don't tell you to be yourself, because that's not how I talk about authenticity, but they're really very tangible, because you have to, you have to unlearn and you have to do tangible experiments to start collecting that quote-unquote data. And then once you, you know, once somebody smiles or responds when they normally don't or a client you sell something, or people notice your website that normally they've never said anything about. You're just gonna, you're gonna change your pattern. You're gonna be like, maybe I should do more of that. Lesley Logan 17:32 Yeah, I really, I love that you go on little experiments and reflect and observe, because that is what life is always kind of about, whether it's work or, like, for, you know, I have to do things on social media. And, trust me, I wish I could just, I'm like, when do I don't have to, like, you know? But I, like, recently did a little experiment because my friends are like, you should do this. And I was like, okay, I'm just gonna do, just gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take what you said. I'm gonna do it as easily as possible, because I don't, if it slays and I had to spend two hours, I'm not doing that again, so it has to be so easy. And I did it as and I was like, I was like, Erin's gonna be so proud, because I am 50 percenting all of this. I'm just like, I'm not even careful. I'm just going to do this. And it is one of the best posts we've ever did. So it's a little experiment. And I was like, great. So if I can get that result, not stressing about it, let's we can repeat that experiment and see what happens, and we can kind of see tweak things here and there, but it's got to stay, got to stay, it's got to stay something I can do. That's got to be possible. But I think little experiments with observations are so great because observation is not the same as waiting for feedback. They're waiting for the external feedback, versus with their own meter of what how things are working. Erin Hatzikostas 18:35 Oh, yeah, totally. They're waiting for that party that will never come, that Bar Mitzvah or that surprise party never comes, you got to look inside. Lesley Logan 18:47 Okay, so you wrote a second book. And I'm wondering, like, did you always know you had a second book in you? Because you have You Do You(ish). You guys have to know. When I met Erin, she was speaking at She Who Wins and I feel like you did a talk on like it was either the 50% Rule like thing, but I feel like it's a You Do You(ish) and I was like, I am eating this up. I love all of this. This is so great for the recovering perfectionist that is me. So did you know you had a second book in you, or did it kind of just come about as you were talking about your first one?Erin Hatzikostas 19:15 No, I mean, I did. When I wrote my first book, I was surprised at how much I, I didn't love, I don't have love for writing, but I wasn't a bad writer, I guess. You know, I was a math major on college like writing was not my thing, but I sort of had this epiphany early on in the process, that writing is just talking on paper, and so that's very much my book. Some people always say I can hear you, and I'm like, yeah, because I just talk on paper. I don't overthink it. I say the words like they come out of my mouth. But for both of my books, actually, I really did not get down to writing them until it felt like a gremlin that was trying to crawl out of my stomach. And what I mean by that, even my first book, I remember, had a coach at the time. And I was only about a year into my business and I was like, Elizabeth, I want to do this book. I don't know what it's called, but here's what it's going to be about. And she's like, Erin, you have a lot on your plate. I don't know if you should, you know, be doing that. And I'm like, okay, I'll listen to that. And then I just couldn't stop thinking about it. And then actually, Covid hit. So it was like, no more hockey practices, no more like, why not sit around and write? With the 50% Rule, what happened was it was really an organic, just to kind of tell the story how it came about, so here I was, like, this badass speaking about authenticity on stages, wrote a book, did a TED talk, and meanwhile, I was an entrepreneur, trying to learn how the frick to be an entrepreneur. And I was soaking in all the courses and all the playbooks. And I was part of this group, Brand Builders group, which, literally, will tell you everything you need to do. And I was sitting in Nashville at a two-day session. And I should have been elated, because they have two straight days of training and an 87-page PowerPoint, like, I don't remember which one this was on, but like, how to do X, and instead, I felt totally overwhelmed, uninspired, felt lazy, I didn't want to do it. And I remember though thinking all of a sudden, like, well, what if you just 50% Rule it? And that doesn't mean half ass it. What it meant was, what if you throw out half of the stuff that they're teaching that just doesn't feel like you, feel stupid, maybe feels outdated, you're like, I don't know if that will really resonate with people. But then you bring in your own ideas. You know, you're very creative. You understand the intent, what you're trying to do. What if you bring in your own which I write about in the book. Part of that is the self-determination theory, which absolutely says that people are way more propelled if we have sort of autonomy, or say in whatt we do. So I just remember how quickly that snapped me out of it. So then as I was going along for the next year, same thing would happen. But it wasn't like, right away. It was like, I'd go through something, I'd get all hung up, and then I was like, don't mess, 50% Rule it, right? And then people, whether it was coaching, clients, friends, whatever, it just seemed like, came up all the time. They would be like, oh, I'm struggling with blah, blah, blah. And I would be like, why don't you just 50% Rule it? And they were like, tell me more.Erin Hatzikostas 22:07 And I would say 50% rule basically, anytime you're doing something new, you're learning from others, listening to a podcast, starting a new product or business, only do about half of what's normal, or what people are telling you to do and then save room for half, what's new and curate that and I just, so then, data, I started to observe people lighting up, coming up with ideas, like, just back to the very beginning, branding, like just part of it is, you know, just putting a name to something and then, but that was not enough to write a book. So I still wasn't like, oh, this is the book. But then what happened is I started kind of seeing it everywhere, meaning I would watch a documentary, or I went, so I, for the first time, I was a little late to the game, but I finally saw Hamilton last year, and I was sitting there. Lesley Logan 22:51 I still haven't finished it. I know, I know it was only HBO or whatever we watched. Erin Hatzikostas 22:56 No, no, no, no. Don't see that.Lesley Logan 22:57 I know. You guys, you have to get there. We have to get to the play in person. I'm hoping it, maybe, it'll come through Vegas. I mean, everything does right, so. Erin Hatzikostas 23:02 How does it not come (inaudible). You have to see it. It's life changing. So, I was like, wait, his success isn't just because he put together a really freaking good musical. He 50% ruled it, right? He's got half, sort of the normal Broadway formula, but half is just totally juxtaposed, right? With the the rap and the people of color playing white dudes from 300 years ago, etc. So I started to see it there. I saw it with John Madden in the documentary. I saw it with the savannah bananas, Whitney Houston, like I just kept seeing all these examples. And what hit me was that the 50% rule isn't just sort of the step ladder to get over your sort of little mini hurdles and moments that it is actually a formula that helps you really, what I say is go from underdog to unmatched. It helps people like Weird Al is a crappy singer. His voice is not good. Lesley Logan 23:56 Yeah, it's pretty bad. Erin Hatzikostas 23:57 He's a phenomenon, like he sold more, some of those songs that he parodied sold more than the actual original, super famous artists, right? All because he 50% ruled it. And so anytime you're trying, you're behind, you're smaller, you're I mean, anytime you do anything, but if you don't want to just work harder, which is just something I don't ever want to do, I don't want to win by being the hardest worker or the best I want to win by standing out and being unique and doing something that's fresh and new and that people want. And so when I finally saw that, I was like, okay, this is, this is a book. This is a gremlin that, and you know, my phone notes when they started being, you know, a mile long. That's when I started the process of, okay, this needs to be book number two.Lesley Logan 24:45 That's so cool. Thank you for sharing that. And also it's like, as you were sharing, like, all these different examples, of course, as a recipe, for a reason, but then really the things that make even your grandmother's lasagna stand out is because it's not the same lasagna recipe that everyone else is using. Grandma took the basics of it and was like, yeah, but I want to add this cheese instead, or I want to add this meat, or I want to put it this many layers like that is what makes things different, and that indifferent is what stands out. I mean, there's singers every single day trying to make it, and they're doing the exact same thing that other people have done, and it doesn't stand out because we already heard that one already.Erin Hatzikostas 25:24 That's exactly right. I love it. Lesley Logan 25:26 So okay, your 50% Rule book as, by the time that this comes out, it will be on shelves or close to it. You guys, we're going to try to time it. But what are you hoping people do with this book?Erin Hatzikostas 25:38 Yeah, I mean, so I'm obsessed with it, to be honest. And I'm, I'm obsessed first and foremost, with the rule, like, when you start, there's, there's something so beautiful. My team does this. I have a book sort of board that's been meeting for a year and a half. There's a total of like 70 people that volunteered to help, sort of collaborate and guide this book. There's about 25-30 that have been meeting and others have been supporting a whole, you know, a little bit further away. And when you start to hear people constantly like, Well, why don't you 50% rule it, even me as the 50% ruler of all rulers who like, forget like, it just, there's like this in your brain. It's kind of like some of these books where I want people to read it, because I think it's super fun. I. Lesley Logan 26:22 It's so funny. youAnd you do sound like you're talking to me and like, you guys don't even have to know her voice as well as I know it. It does sound like a friend is telling you amazing advice. Erin Hatzikostas 26:30 Yeah and it's like amazing advice smacking you upside the head sometimes crazy metaphor, like, because I'm not a disciplined person, I don't want to give people a book that they read because they should, because it's got noble advice in that. I get, I want to give you a book that you're like, just like a fiction book where you're like, I want to read to the end because I'm enjoying it, so that I'm excited about but even if the book's like The One Thing and stuff like that, I gotta be honest, I never read that book, but the concept, I get it. So if there's a whole bunch of people too that are like, oh, my friend told me about the concept or whatever, and you don't read the book, whatever, that would be totally off-brand. If I said, No, you have to read the book. It's like, no, do it your own way. So I just, I really hope that I create sort of this vernacular that has people sort of switch their brain into a different mode on a regular basis and collectively, when you could start doing that, and I'll understand what you're talking about, that's like the real power. Lesley Logan 27:23 I agree. And I also think it is, instead of like a snap out of it, or just do it, or just get started. You know what I mean? Like, there's a bit of advice in the same tone when you say 50% rule it, it's like an action step with also permission to not have to do it exactly like, check all the boxes. Going back to what we talked about in the corporate world, it is really just like, okay, what if I like these three steps, and what if I start there and I do this because that's what I have access to, and I like, as someone who's had started many companies and done many things, people are like, how did you do that? And I'm like, I just did what I knew I could do, and then kind of had to go, okay, well, what's my version of that? Like, how is, you know, and so it's also putting a name to something that people might already be doing, and thinking, maybe I'm cheating. And instead of it's like, no, you're not cheating, and you're not being lazy, you're actually doing it your way, with some advice that from the people before you,Erin Hatzikostas 28:16 That's right, you're innovating. And I even say in the book, like, look it's like three quarters of the way, and I'm like, timeout. I just want to be clear, this is not something new. And people say to me all the time, oh, yeah, I love that concept. Like, when they say, oh, you're writing book. What's it about? Oh, I do that all the time, and I say, you do and you don't. And what I'd say is, look, I don't want to pretend like I created something totally new. It's sort of like if you went out into a field and you're like, I found the first coccyx bone ever of a dinosaur. And people are like, no, it's actually called a tailbone. And other people have found that it's like, oh, well, I call it a coccyx bone because whatever. But you actually know what a coccyx is, some people dont.Lesley Logan 28:30 I do.Erin Hatzikostas 28:31 Because you do Pilates. But the reason I wrote a book, I always say, not a cute little meme and stop there, is that even while I was writing this book, Lesley, I had instances in my life where I was doing shit, and then I finally was like, oh, wait, why don't you 50% rule it like a perfect example. I was dealing with my back, as you know, I talked about, like my back woes, which my back is doing fabulous.Lesley Logan 28:31 Yay!Erin Hatzikostas 28:31 Yay. But had some major issues, and I was ping-ponging. And one of the chapters is Binary Be Bad. It's like this whole lesson of like, we just sometimes we think it's one or another thing, and we don't look at the middle. And I was ping ponging like a cat, watching a match between my chiropractor and my physical therapist, back and forth, back and forth, and didn't say, okay, why don't I 50% rule it, which means curate what works from both like, I would be like, oh, the PT really gets it. She fixed me. And then when she asked me up, I was like, oh, wait, no, the chiropractor's right. And so my point is, I think a lot of people say think they do it, and there's so many opportunities where they're missing the bow. And so that's what I think any book that's the present that it gives you. If you read the whole thing, then it's like cemented in you, right? You will, you will get to that solution faster than if you don't, right? And so the more repetition, the more you read, the more stories, the more you like. There's different lessons, there's 60 some different quotes. The more those are ingrained in you, then it's more likely that you'll suffer for a less amount of time before you head to that solution. Lesley Logan 30:22 I agree. Like, I think a meme is great. And also, like, okay, you're all hearing it here, but there was before the pandemic, you had to see something 17 to 26 times to, like, click on it. And so, like, reading the book and hearing it over and over again, it makes it part of your vernacular in a way that it's sticky and it stays with you in a bit, a bit more. So I think that, I think it's really cool. I'm so excited for it to be out in people's hands, as I know our listeners are going to absolutely love it. They're gonna because being it till you see it, it's so easy for that to be a perfectionist saying, and it's like, what if you just 50% that? Like, what does that mean to you in this moment and in this day, and just acting as if you already know what you're supposed to do. Erin Hatzikostas 31:03 That's totally right. I just had an example of this, because I know you were saying, like, part of your message is, just take baby steps. And I feel like this is such a good example of it. So about three or four years ago, I was like, oh, because we always have ideas when we're entrepreneurs. And I was like, I want to create an authenticity index for companies so kind of like, there's diversity index right, where you can say, okay, I either want to do business with them, I might want to work for this company. Where are they on their diversity? But where are they in their authenticity? Where is their their culture, right? And, and then I was like, oh, well, all these other indexes they work with, like Forbes, or they have some major like institution behind them, and like, how do they get the clout? And, and I could have been like, yeah, that's just, that's just too much work. And instead what we did, and I, you know, I have a great team, and we just started bouncing things off. And I thought, well, what would a baby step be? And we're like, what if we first create national authenticity day? Because you can create days, right? So we did. It's August 16. We created it four years ago, in 2021 three years ago, and created, you know, the website, a mission file there, whatever. And then we said, well, what if we just do authenticity awards, where it's, it's just us, we're, you know, same sort of concept, which is rewarding, highlighting, incentivizing leaders and companies to be more authentic, and we just do awards. And I will tell you, for the first couple years of those awards, Lesley, well, the first year, we were like, we got down to the deadline. We're like, shit, Rachel, who do you want to nominate? I was like, I'll nominate, like, I think we had like, two submissions, and we had to do the nominating. And then the next year we had a little bit more. And then the next this year, we're like, we probably should have some judges instead of basically me being, you know, and so we just took a baby step, and I and as soon as my team suggested, I was like, oh, I know the five leaders, I'm going to ask it just, you know, quickly came to mind. They're super authentic. They're in these great executive roles. And so that's what we're doing this year, and now, and and my team is pushing me for more posts and stuff. And so now we have more nominations that we've ever had, plus we have the judges who are advocates. And I always talk about it, I think the thing I love about it most is it's like, we're at step four of probably a hundred, but I am talking, I've got a friend at Yale. She's like, oh, maybe we could connect you with this person. Like, eventually, maybe we'll have a collaborator, whether it's a Yale or a fortune or whoever. Yeah, but we're just, every year, we're just like, What can we do just a tiny bit better? And that's all it's about. Lesley Logan 33:47 Thank you for sharing that. Because I do. I know a lot of people listening have these amazing ideas, and then they get overwhelmed by the steps around that amazing idea and not like anything you're seeing that caused you to have that amazing idea, you're like, oh, I want to do it like this. They, they actually did start five years prior, doing like a thing. We just don't see that part because it's like, it's the, you know, most people don't see, like, when Adele came on the scene, we didn't see the seven teen years she spent singing in a bar like, you know what I mean, like Lady Gaga was Stephanie for a long time, everyone, and no one knew who she was, like, you know? So we don't see that, and we just see, oh, they did this and they came out, and it's like, it's like, Yeah, but there's those baby steps. And when you take those baby steps, you get more feedback, and you get more confidence, and I think you get more ideas that make the original idea better. You know, we just need to have those patience. Erin Hatzikostas 34:39 Totally and that's why, in the book, I have a whole chapter dedicated to sleep running syndrome. And you know, most people are like, I don't have sleep running syndrome, and I break it down. I'm like, you probably do. And one of the, you know, there's a couple, there's six symptoms, but one of them is comparison cramps. And you know, one of the comparison cramps. Lesley Logan 34:56 Oh my gosh, this is my favorite part of the book so far. Like this, I was like, oh, yeah, I have had comparison cramps, those suck. Erin Hatzikostas 35:02 Those suck, right? And that's like, and part of it is you don't normalize your data, so you compare your singing career to Lady Gaga's, who started 20 years before yours. And then perfection pain is one of the symptoms, too, and pioneer paralysis, which I think is what you're talking about. We have the ideas about how we can like we have the big idea about the authenticity and but we get paralyzed because we think we have to do it all at once. We have to do it like everybody else. And so in the chapter, we end up thinking we should just stay in Kansas like Dorothy does in the Wizard of Oz, and we don't have to. And that's what the 50% rule can help you get out of. Lesley Logan 35:37 Oh my gosh, you guys, you have to wait for this book. We're gonna take a brief break. I keep talking forever, but that's just because I love you. We're gonna find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 35:37 All right, Erin, where can we buy this book? Where can people like stalk you in the best way and be reminded of the 50% tip. What do you got for us? Erin Hatzikostas 35:53 Yeah, so the book you can go to anywhere you buy books. But there's also the50percentrule.com, it's spelled out. You can learn a little bit more. There's some freebies. There's we just shot and finished up a really fun video, quirky video around it. You know, that kind that will give you the vibe of the book. So, the50percentrule.com. Once you're done, soaking in all that is wonderful, Be It Till You See It. If you're a podcast listener, which you obviously are, we also have a podcast you can go to b cause work doesn't have to suck. It's just the letter B and then cause work doesn't have to suck, because we're weirdos, um, and then I'm kind of a nerd. I mostly interact on LinkedIn, although I'm on Instagram as well. So.Lesley Logan 36:34 Your Instagram makes me laugh, like you could be a comedian. Because (inaudible).Erin Hatzikostas 36:38 So I just did once a day, I did a, I did a quick reel about the, we were talking about this offline, about me spilling my freaking chocolate protein shake everywhere. Please go watch it and tell me if you actually get it, because I thought it was pretty freaking funny, but it's very subtle. No, I'm terrible at Instagram, but I'm really cool on LinkedIn, because most people aren't cool, so that's why I'm there. I'm like, oh, it's easier to be cool. So either one of those. Lesley Logan 37:00 Okay, but I just have to shout, like, months ago, you did one of those walking videos, which I've never figured out how to do, and you're like, I'm trying to film this thing where I'm walking and I write something inspirational on the screen that's too small for most people to read. And then you just like, were like, so I'm just gonna walk, and I'm gonna put this thing that's like, make it like your font larger?Erin Hatzikostas 37:20 Yes, yeah, that was, that's a big trend. I think it's still kind of there, like, (inaudible) walking or putting on my makeup, doing something, but the freaking text, I'm like, dude, if you're over 45 nobody's reading your shit. I can't read it. I can't read a freaking thing you just said. So yeah, thank you for thank you for getting it. The one today about my spilled protein shake, you'll have to let me know if you get it, because I think it's kind of subtle. But it's, it's actually, there's a joke in there. Lesley Logan 37:45 I think we have similar humor, so I will, but I like that humor. It's like, yeah, what am, what are we all doing here? What's happening? Okay, before I let you go, Bold, Executable, Intrinsic, Targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it.Erin Hatzikostas 37:58 I love it. So I think the first thing is you have to understand that nothing you're going to do is like anybody else, right? So the 50% Rule, I break it down so you could just think it and do it. But I also have this innovation framework for like companies who are like, no, I have to wrangle like 32 people to use a 50% rule. I need some steps. And the first step, and it's called the innovation framework. There's six I steps, and the first one is intent, and I think it's the most powerful. So when you're trying to do something, strip away the how, strip away the what. And just think about intent. What are you trying to do? So social media, it's so easy to be like, I gotta do this thing. It's like, well, what are you trying to do? You're trying to build trust. You're trying to grab attention. And when you really think about the intent, it helps you shed the layers of the normal formula that you don't need. Because you're like, that's great. But I can get to the intent a different way. So it's almost like the intent is the underwear skivvies of what you're trying to do, right? It's like, okay, now that I can see the underwear skivvies, I can figure out the best way to dress that up. So yeah, I would say, pause and really think, what am I trying to do? Like, so often, like the authenticity index. I could be like, oh, we want it to be like the diversity. What's the intent? The intent is to make it A. easier for people to decide if they want to work for that company or do business. But B. the intent is to incentivize. It's a little bit of a stick, because if there's an index, then people will, you know, I want to, I want to coerce people to start being more authentic. So if my intent is to coerce them, what's the first things? What? What else can I do on the path there to coerce them, incentivize them, beat them on a, with a stick, to be more authentic? So understand the intent and then just experiment the shit out of it. Lesley Logan 39:54 I love that because there are multiple ways to often get to the thing you're wanting. And if you strip the how and the what, and you just get to intent, you can almost brainstorm all the different ways you can do that. Erin, I love you. You're so great. I learned so much today.Erin Hatzikostas 40:14 I love you too. I mean, I'm sure your listeners know that, but this chick is such a kind and generous like, I was out in Vegas. It's funny, when we met, you're like, if you're ever out in Vegas, and I was like, I'm gonna be there in two weeks for a talk. And you, like, arranged dinner. You like, came out. She had the busiest freaking week. I was exhausted just hearing she had, like, a retreat going on, andLesley Logan 40:35 There were two retreats in one week.Erin Hatzikostas 40:38 And the one night, like, she didn't have it. She had people out on their own. She came in and came into this, you know, strip, and had dinner with me. And I'm just forever grateful. Lesley Logan 40:47 Oh, it meant the world to me. So thank you for letting me have dinner also, like I let the restaurant entertain you, really, that's (inaudible). Erin Hatzikostas 40:55 I broke out those videos the other day. I'm like, look at the bunny with the butt dancing in my face.Lesley Logan 41:00 You guys, you have to go to Superfriko. They don't sponsor the show, but they have a bunny with a BBL. That'll just, really, the best way to describe what's happening in Vegas. It's so Vegas. Erin, thank you so much for being you. Thank you for your amazing book. You guys, let Erin know if you got the book, what your takeaways were. Share this episode with a friend who happens to be getting in their own way. Because here's the coolest thing, if your friends around you start to do a 50% rule, it makes it easier for you to do a 50% rule, and it actually makes it life more fun, because your friends are not trying to be perfect all the time, and they're actually being their unique selves, taking action on their intent. So thank you, Erin. Everyone, share this podcast with a friend and until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 41:00 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Ever find yourself trying to figure out how your faith fits with your human logic? Same. We live in a world where logic and reason are king, but when it comes to faith, things get… well, a little wild.Here's the thing: Faith and reason are NOT the same things.Faith is trusting in something way bigger than yourself……something that doesn't always "make sense" by our earthly, sinful, human rules. But what if faith actually puts reason in its place? Like, who's smarter—us or God, the Creator of literally EVERTHING? If we're smarter, maybe we need a better God (spoiler: we're not).Faith isn't about winning a logic battle.It's about trusting God even when things seem impossible—like…The whole "God becoming human" thing.
We got married when we were pretty young after we met at Bible college. Needless to say, we had a lot of lofty ideas about what our Christian marriage would look like. We thought we would never argue, never lose our temper, keep the romance alive all the time, and always put each other first.While we meant every word of our vows and we have stayed committed for over 30 years, we did not anticipate that we both entered our marriage with a sinful nature and would fail to love well at times. We've said words that have hurt each other deeply and haven't always been there when we needed each other the most.Looking back, we wish we had started with a more solid foundation of what God's design for marriage truly looks like. That's why we are glad to welcome Chad and Emily Van Dixhoorn. They are authors of Gospel-Shaped Marriage: Grace for Sinners to Love Like Saints. If you need fresh hope and vision for your relationship today, this is the place to be!In this episode, Chad & Emily share with us:How God uses marriage to grow usThe source of true happiness in marriageHow your spouse has been uniquely designed to love youAnd much more!We hope this episode strengthens your relationship!Show Notes: growinghometogether.com/chad-emily-vandixhoorn-97

As a coach, I have heard every single one of my clients tell me that they don't feel good enough at least once. But did you know that you don't not "feel" good enough? You THINK you are not good enough. And that is a distinction that matters if you want to stop feeling this way.Thinking you are not good enough comes from many places: Society, your parents, school, tv, social media, trauma, and just plain old life. Everybody thinks this way sometimes, but that doesn't mean you can't change it. But I am going to teach you a way to change it that you might not have thought about. Because rest assured, this line of thinking is fucking with your life.Today's episode is a nuanced look at how you can finally start loosening your grip on "not feeling good enough". It's not what you might think. Take a listen and send me an email to let me know what you think to coach@amandahess.ca.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 30th of May, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of Luke 9:25: "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?"Oh, my dear friend, we have to stop working so hard. We have to stop trying to please God. The Lord loves us as we are. We don't have to do anything to earn His love. We just have to love Him, that's all. So many of us are trying to earn our way to Heaven. You can't earn your way to Heaven, it is for gratis, it is free. You don't have to pay for it, you just have to receive it. The Lord just wants you and I for fellowship. He created us so that He could speak with us, love us, and we love Him. That's all.The other night, Jill and I were sitting, listening to the most beautiful song. It's called "Broken Ladders". The song was written by Samuel and Becca Mizell. I think that's how you pronounce their name. I want to read this to you. It is the most beautiful song: You never asked me to be kingBuild my tower up to the skySo why do I tryYou never asked me to be richAnd buy the things that gold can buySo why do I tryAll You ever wanted was my heartMy heart, my simple heartTo You that's all that really mattersWhy do I feel I have to reachBelieve I have to riseWhen You never said I had to climbThese broken laddersYou never asked me to be completeBy myself, find all I needSo why do I tryOh, You never asked me to stand aloneFace the struggles on my ownSo why do I tryWhen all You ever wanted was my heartMy heart, my simple heartTo you that's all that really mattersWhy do I feel I have to reachBelieve I have to riseWhen You never said I had to climbThese broken laddersCause all they do is take my eyes off YouAnd make me forget the truthAll You ever wanted was my heartMy heart, my simple heartTo You that's all that really mattersWhy do I feel I have to reachBelieve I have to riseWhen You never said I had to climbOh You never said I had to climbThese broken laddersOh these broken laddersWhat beautiful words!

His Blessing for A Thousand Generations!Exodus 20:4-6 "You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.”I really liked this verse for today because it reminded me of one of my favorite songs. Originally I was just going to start with verse 5 as that is what was given at prayer group. However, it started with You shall not bow down before them or worship them and in my mind, I wondered who we were talking about. This is why I included verse 4 as well.If we look at verse four, we see that God is telling us not to make idols. He is saying it doesn't matter what we make the form/idol to look like. We just shouldn't make them. Now, I remember hearing this and wondering about all the statues, pictures, and medals we have of Mary and Jesus nowadays. I mean, it says, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.I remember Father Mike talked about this during the Bible in a Year podcast. I couldn't remember exactly what he said, and I didn't want to give you misinformation, so I looked it up online this morning. I found an article called Do Catholic's Worship Statues? It was found on the website Catholic.com. The author states, “People who oppose religious statuary forget about the many passages where the Lord commands the making of statues. For example: “And you shall make two cherubim of gold [i.e., two gold statues of angels]; of hammered work shall you make them, on the two ends of the mercy seat. Make one cherub on the one end and one cherub on the other end; of one piece of the mercy seat, shall you make the cherubim on its two ends. The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings, their faces one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim be” (Ex. 25:18–20).” He gave a few other examples.He goes on to talk about the religious use of Images. He said, “During a plague of serpents sent to punish the Israelites during the exodus, God told Moses to “make [a statue of] a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten when he sees it shall live. So Moses made a bronze serpent, and set it on a pole; and if a serpent bit any man, he would look at the bronze serpent and live” (Num. 21:8–9). One had to look at the bronze statue of the serpent to be healed, which shows that statues could be used ritually, not merely as religious decorations.”Catholics use statues, paintings, and other artistic devices to recall the person or thing depicted. Just as it helps to remember one's mother by looking at her photograph, so it helps to recall the example of the saints by looking at pictures of them. Catholics also use statues as teaching tools. In the early Church, they were especially useful for the instruction of the illiterate. Many Protestants have pictures of Jesus and other Bible pictures in Sunday school for teaching children. Catholics also use statues to commemorate certain people and events, much as Protestant churches have three-dimensional nativity scenes at Christmas. I had no idea I was going to mention that today, but that is where the Holy Spirit led me. It is important to stop and explain things when they come up. If I had a question, I am probably not the only one who had the question. If you want more info on this topic or more detail, I will place a link for the article in the show notes. It was really interesting to read.Moving on to verse 5, it says, “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me.” When I first read this, I was thinking how it didn't seem fair that God would punish children for the iniquity of their parents. I looked up the meaning of this verse to see if someone else had the same thought that I had, and it turns out others thought the same thing.Here is what BK Shiroma had to say in the article DNA of Sin. “Now, at first glance, this seems unfair. It seems as though God is saying he punishes children for their father's (or mother's) sins. But God makes it very clear later that this is not the case. In Deuteronomy 24:16, God commanded the people, “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.” In Ezekiel 18, God rebukes the people who quoted a proverb that seemed to imply that God would punish children for their parent's sins. So if God doesn't punish people for their parents' sins, what does he mean by punishing the children for the sins of their fathers to the third and fourth generations?The author goes on to explain that sin and its effects tend to be passed on from person to person, especially in families. For instance, if we grow up in a broken family, then that is all we know. We tend to act the way our parents act. If our parents are divorced, we may end up divorced because that is all we know. If a child is abused by their parents, they may grow up and find they are doing the same thing to their children. A lot of children who have parents who are addicted to drugs or alcohol also become addicted to drugs and alcohol. The author states, “Each person is punished for their own sins which they commit, suffering the pain and heartache that comes from sin, and yet passing on their sins to the next generation for which they themselves will be punished.”Hearing this may cause us to feel hopeless. We may feel like we are doomed to repeat our parent's mistakes, and that can feel overwhelming for us. However, the answer to this overwhelm, and hopelessness is found in verse 6, “But showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments.” If we love God, and we keep His commandments, then he will show us, steadfast love, not only to us but to the thousandth generation. The author states, “If the cycle of sin is to be broken in our lives, we need a relationship with the living God. We need his transforming power in our lives. We need to say, “God, I need you. I need your healing. I don't want to be a slave to sin in my life anymore. I can't do this on my own. Help me.” And if we repent of our sins, reach out to Him, and let him take the throne of our lives, he will give us victory over the sin that is destroying us, and that cycle of sin will be broken. Instead of passing on sin to your children, you will pass on the love of God, which he shows to a “thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”This brings me to one of my favorite songs. If you have not heard it, I invite you to look it up on YouTube today, or Spotify probably has it as well. It is called The Blessing. I am not sure who originally sang it as I found it online from Elevation Worship and from Bethel Music with We The Kingdom. If you search for The Blessing, I am sure you will find it. All of these Lyrics are repeated several times. Just listing the lyrics loses so much of what makes the song great. However, I wanted you to hear them in case you don't take me up on the invitation to hear the song. At least this way, you hear the words. I pray you listen to them and you take them in. God is talking to you right here. This is His blessing for you. I will pray these lyrics over each one of you today as our final prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, I pray these lyrics are a blessing to each person listening to this episode.The Lord bless you and keep youMake His face shine upon you and be gracious to youThe Lord turn His face toward youAnd give you peace Amen, amen, amenAmen, amen, amen May His favor be upon youAnd a thousand generationsAnd your family and your childrenAnd their children, and their children May His presence go before youAnd behind you, and beside youAll around you, and within you He is with you, he is with youIn the morning, in the eveningIn your coming, and your goingIn your weeping, and rejoicing He is for you, he is for youHe is for you, he is for youHe is for you, he is for youHe is for you, he is for you Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again on Monday. Remember, Jesus loves you, and so do I! Have a blessed weekend! Today's Word from the Lord was received in November 2023 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group. If you have any questions about the prayer group or about these words, please email CatholicCharismaticPrayerGroup@gmail.com. Today's Word from the Lord is, “My children, when I tell you I want you to use you, do not tell me I am too small for you to use. Do not tell me to call someone else. It is you who I am calling, and I tell you I can enable you to do whatever task I ask. Take a step of faith. Take a step of trust. I am your God. I know what is best. If I tell you I want to use you, say yes, Lord, and do what I tell you, and you will marvel at all you can do. It is I who am God. It is I who enables anyone that I wish. Move forward in faith today, today, and every day. I am your God, and I love you.”

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 23rd of February, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Isaiah 44:2: “Thus says the Lord who made youAnd formed you from the womb, who will help you…” I just want to say to you today, God never makes mistakes and God is the only one who can create anything. He never makes mistakes. He says to us here clearly this morning that He formed you and me from the womb. Remember Sarah, Abraham's wife, she couldn't have a baby. She was almost a hundred years old. It is physically impossible for a woman of nearly a hundred years old to conceive and bear a child. Ask any gynaecologist or any child specialist and they will tell you it's impossible. Hannah could not have a baby; she was the laughingstock of the congregation, and yet God gave her Samuel, who some say was the greatest of all the prophets. What about Elizabeth? She was also old, she couldn't have a child either and yet she had a beautiful baby by the name of John, The Baptist. Then, of course, what about Mary, the young handmaiden of the Lord? She conceived and bore a child. His name was Jesus, the Son of God. She never knew a man.What are we saying here? We are saying that it is God who forms you and me in the womb of a woman. I have got a serious word here for lots of moms and dads. Don't tell your child, especially the last born, ”Oh, you were a mistake.” That can be extremely hurtful and it can be very devastating to some people even when they grow up. They keep on feeling that they were not meant to be, they just happened one night. That is not the truth. Only God can put that seed into the womb of a woman. I want to say to you that the Lord created you in His own image, He loves you very much and He has a wonderful plan for you in your life, and I would like to pray for you.Father, I want to pray for that person listening to his message who has got a complex, right from when they were small. Their mom and dad probably never meant it jokingly, ”Oh, you were a mistake. We thought our family was complete until you came along." Lord, we cut that thing off in that person's mind and we remind them today, Lord Jesus, that our Heavenly Father is the Creator, and not man. So we thank You for giving us this life and we pray, Lord, that we will use that life you have given us in the furtherance of the Kingdom of God here on Earth. We ask these things in Jesus' precious name, Amen.God bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

Pastor Duane Brooks emphasizes the significance of worship as more than just singing, focusing on presenting oneself as a living sacrifice to God. We give ourselves to God in worship. The pastor contrasts the attitudes toward Jesus, highlighting Herod's pretentiousness and manipulation, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus as the central figure. He reads from Matthew 2:1-12, outlining the story of the Magi seeking Jesus and their recognition of him, drawing parallels with prophecies about the long-expected Jesus and the expectations of the people of Israel.Throughout this message, Pastor Duane Brooks challenges the audience to consider their response to encountering Jesus as a king, emphasizing the joy and significance of seeking and beholding their king, drawing parallels with the Magi and the importance of worshiping in the presence of God.Quotes:George MacDonald: They were all looking for a King to lift them high; thou cam'st a little baby thing that made a woman cry.T. S. Eliot: For the Joy of finding Christ we would go a long way.Michael Card: There is a joy in the journeyThere's a light we can love on the wayThere is a wonder and wildness to lifeAnd freedom for those who obeyAnd all those who seek it shall find itA pardon for all who believeHope for the hopeless and sight for the blindTo all who've been born of the SpiritAnd who share incarnation with HimWho belong to eternity stranded in timeAnd weary of struggling with sinForget not the hope that's before youAnd never stop counting the costRemember the hopelessness when you were lostThere is a joy in the journeyThere's a light we can love on the wayThere is a wonder and wildness to lifeAnd freedom for those who obeyAnd freedom for those who obeyC. S. Lewis: In a kingdom the king is the law. In a kingdom people do what they are told without quibbling, questioning, or asking if the monarch might take less than he ordered. In a kingdom the king expects obedience instant and full.In the Bleak MidwinterChristina RosettiIn the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,In the bleak midwinter, long ago.Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficedThe Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day,Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;Enough for Him, whom angels fall before,The ox and ass and camel which adore.Angels and archangels may have gathered there,Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.What can I give Him, poor as I am?If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

When Yaakov Avinu set out to find a wife,Hashem tested him in the mida of bitachon . Yaakov knew thatLavan(his prospective father-in-law) was only interested in money and thereforehe made the necessary hishtadlut , taking with him his family fortune.But Hashem brought it about that Yaakov was robbed of his money and, in thenatural way of the world, seemingly would not be able to marry into the familyhe wanted. Yaakov then thought about it and said, I don't have any jewelry,I don't have a ring, I don't have a bracelet, but I have Hashem and that's allI need. This was the test of Yaakov, to either despair or to put his trustin Hashem. And he succeeded in passing it. It was at that time that Hashemappeared to him and told him He would be with him in everything that hedoes. The Chovot HaLevavot writes, itis the way of a baal bitachon to speak to Hashem in a personalway. Whenever anyone is confronted with a situation in which his means of helphave seemingly failed him, his response should be, Hashem, I don't have thisone to help, I don't have that one to help, but it's okay, because I have Youand when I have You, I don't need anybody else . We try to make hishtadlut because that's what Hashem told us to do. When the hishtadlut fails,that is when our bitachon is being put to the test. Of course, wheneverwe make hishtadlut we have to realize it is really Hashem, but when the hishtadlut fails the test is great. At that point, a person has a choice to make. He caneither say, all of my options have been exhausted, I have nothing left todo. It looks like I'm doomed to failure. Or the person could say, Hashem,I now see that people can't help me. I got the message – it's not people orefforts that bring about results, it's only You. And I know my best option isstill available. If the person really believes what he issaying, then he will merit to what the Gemara teaches in the Masechet Menachot (29), " כל התולה בטחונו בהקב"ה, הרי לו מחסה לעולם הזהולעולם הבא – Hashem will take that person under His wing in this world andthe Next. If someone has been trying to make money, butall his efforts have been failing, he should know, he has a great opportunityin front of him to exercise his bitachon and come to the conclusion thathe has Hashem, the only One who really matters. The same applies to all areasof life, whether the person is looking for a shidduch or for a cure toan illness and all his efforts have been failing. That is the moment he canpractice his bitachon and catapult himself into a different sphere,alone with Hashem above the natural way of the world. The work is to honestlybelieve and feel at ease with the knowledge that we do have Hashem. We once gave a mashal to put it intoperspective. Imagine a man was told by his doctor that he has a terminalillness, lo alenu, and has just six months left to live. He then adds,"There is one doctor in the world that can cure your illness, but the wait timeto get into him is three years." With no hope, the man decides to go to adistant island and live out his final days in peace. While there, he goes witha family member to an empty beach to take his mind off his sorrows and theynotice there is one other person on that beach. The family member takes a closerlook and tells the man, "That's the doctor who has the cure! He's lying there,all alone, with no line. Now's your chance!" Filled withhope, the man runs over to the doctor and tells him his plight. The doctorsays, "Don't worry, I'm going to help you." The feeling that man had when herealized the only doctor who could help him was right there, so easilyaccessible to him, that's at least the feeling we are supposed to have when werealize we have Hashem, the only One who could help and is so easily accessibleto us. If we can work to get that feeling, we will have true bitachon and b'ezrat Hashem be zocheh to all the blessings that come alongwith it.
