"If we can do it for Whole Foods, which is a very large organization, why can't we do this for other employers?"Is the era of relying on national, opaque "BUCA" networks finally coming to an end?My guests this week are Blake Allison, CEO of Employers Health Network (EHN), and Philip Eaves, from Ascension. Together, they break down the exact blueprint they used to build a direct-to-employer, high-performance network for Whole Foods - and how they are scaling that exact same model for self-funded employers across the country.In this episode, we explore the hospital system's perspective on direct contracting. Phil explains why massive health systems like Ascension are eager to bypass traditional carriers to work directly with employers, citing faster payments, zero collection risk, and the ability to proactively manage patient care. We also discuss how to successfully integrate Direct Primary Care (DPC) into a localized network, the lessons commercial plans must learn from Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), and why the future of healthcare relies on "re-localizing" how we buy medical services.If you are an employer, benefits consultant, or healthcare provider who is fed up with the transactional, nickel-and-dime nature of traditional insurance carriers, this conversation proves that a better, more collaborative model already exists.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. "Regardless of your Sunday attendance numbers, your church can become one of the most influential organizations in your city," writes Kevin Foster. "As culture drifts further from the local church, one of the most powerful ways to become relevant again is to engage with the brokenness in the community around you." In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Foster about his book, Run to the Brokenness. We discuss the relationship between evangelism and compassion, better metrics for measuring ministry effectiveness, how to operationalize compassion in your congregation, and much more. Kevin Foster is the founding pastor of LifeBridge Community Church in Fresno, Calif., and author of Run to the Brokenness: How Your Church Can Be the Center of Your Community, published by Avail.

Show Notes 00:00 — Introduction and Sponsor Ad 01:53 — What does "Run to the brokenness mean," and what was the impetus for this concept in your life and ministry? 09:06 — Why do we need to do redefine success in the local church? And what are better metrics for measuring success? 11:48 — Different communities have different needs, so how does a church identify points of brokenness in its community? 16:19 — How do you address the brokenness within a church? And how do you operationalize your ministry to those points of brokenness? 22:20 — How do you respond to these three objections: (1) My church isn't big enough to do this. (2) As a pastor, I don't have enough capacity. (3) We don't have enough money. 24:31 — How do we create the culture that wants to address the points of pain and need in a community? 30:20 How do you keep evangelism and compassion together? 33:28 — What are you reading right now that is interesting, helpful, and/or personally challenging? 34:43 — Conclusion

While the Berlin Wall no longer divides Germany, the ideas that led to its construction are still actively dividing our country today. Sadly, Marxism is still alive and well and influencing a myriad of cultural divisions, mostly through our nation's colleges and universities. This week and next on the Profile, we'll be examining some of the basics of Marxist ideology and how it has made inroads into our institutions of higher education with author, and president of Ratio Christi, Dr. Corey Miller. Miller will share his experiences and wisdom in engaging what he calls the "Progressive Miseducation of America" on college and university campuses and how we as Christians should be aware of it and how we can respond.

If you've ever felt busy but not fulfilled… this episode is for you. So many women are trying to manage their time better—but still feel scattered, overwhelmed, and pulled in too many directions. In this episode, we're shifting the conversation. Because time management isn't just about getting more done… it's about leading your life with intention and asking "Master, what matters?" Because what matters to Him should matter to us. I'm sharing a simple framework you can come back to again and again: Your Calling. Your Community. Your Cause. When you align your life around these three areas, you gain clarity, build confidence, and begin to create real, Christ-centered influence in the lives of others. This is how you stop reacting… and start leading. In this episode, you'll learn: Why traditional time management isn't working for you The difference between being busy and being aligned How to identify what actually matters in your life and leadership A simple filter to help you make better decisions with your time How to lead with clarity, confidence, and intentional impact Questions to reflect on: What is God doing in me right now? (calling) Who has He placed in my life to influence? (community) What is He asking me to focus on in this season? (cause) Ready to go deeper? If you're ready to step into your calling and become a more intentional, confident leader… The Called to Lead Framework will help you grow in clarity, strengthen your leadership, and learn how to influence others with purpose—at work, in your community, and at home.

With AI continuing to be an ever-growing presence in our lives and our kids' lives, we're revisiting this episode where host, Dr. Delaney Ruston, MD, interviews Natalie Foos, director of VoiceBox and lead author of the eye-opening report, "Coded Companions: Young People's Relationships with AI Chat Bots." The discussion centers on the risks posed by AI chatbots in young people's lives, using examples like Snapchat's My AI and the AI companion app Replika. The report provides concrete examples of deeply troubling things the AIs said to users during testing, conducted with young adults aged 18 to 24. They discuss concerning features, such as how My AI uses location tracking to target young users with ads and emphasize the importance of educating both youth and adults about the potential dangers of AI companions, particularly regarding data privacy, emotional impact, and ethical implications.

Our world is being re-educated. Universities once devoted to truth and reason have become centers for ideology and activism, shaping a generation to believe that truth is relative, morality is subjective, and power is all that matters. But what happens when a culture loses confidence in truth itself? And how can Christians think clearly—and live faithfully—when the classroom becomes the battlefield of ideas? Today we'll be talking about how truth changes the way we think, the way we live, and the way we stand in a culture that's forgotten what truth even is. Our guest today is Corey Miller. Corey grew up in Utah as a seventh-generation Mormon. He came to Christ, and later became a pastor, philosophy professor, campus minister, and now serves as the president/CEO of Ratio Christi (RatioChristi.org). He has authored or edited five books, including his latest book, The Progressive Miseducation of America: Confronting the Cultural Revolution from the Classroom to Your Community. He holds three master's degrees, along with a PhD from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. His thinking centers on the intersection of faith, reason, and culture.

What happens when you're addicted to violence itself? John Graham shipped out on a freighter at 16, made the first ascent of Denali's North Wall at 20 (never repeated), and faced death dozens times—loving every minute. By 28, nothing mattered except his next dangerous adventure. Then came Vietnam. Setting up a firing squad during the 1971 Easter Offensive in Hue, ordering deaths of teenagers, John broke down weeping.

Host Robert Sikes sits down with Nate Lewis, a former Hollywood insider turned child trafficking abolitionist, to uncover the dark digital world where predators hunt.

Send us a textWith Halloween right around the corner, in this episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger and Dee Smith from NatureZone, a family-owned and operated pest control company, peek into the spookier corners of community association life: the creepy crawlies that make residents shiver and board members squirm. Together, they take a peek into what really moves through condos and HOAs: bed bugs that hitchhike on luggage, roof rats that turn trees into launch pads, and subterranean termites—now including a Formosan–Asian hybrid—capable of eating your equity faster than you'd ever expect. You'll learn how bed bugs actually spread in multifamily buildings, why foggers make them worse, and a simple hotel routine that uses a hairdryer and a bathtub to stop hitchhikers. Donna and Dee break down drywood termite myths, explain why subterranean baiting like Sentricon changes the game after heavy rains and floods, and map the entry points rats love most—soffit gaps where gables meet hips, open AC chases, and lush landscaping pressed against stucco. They also talk compassion and safety: handling hoarding cases without letting infestations jump through chases, relocating honeybees while decisively removing aggressive wasps, and using greener, microencapsulated products and inert dusts for residents with chemical sensitivities.If you live in a condo, townhome, or HOA, this is your resident's guide and board playbook in one. Expect field-tested tips, from shaving “boots” on cabbage palms and keeping bird feeders off structures, to recognizing termite pellets and swarmer wings before repairs get ruinous. Conversation Highlights:The ultimate Halloween pest — which creepy crawler gives even the pros chills?The most common pests found in South Florida condominiums and HOAsWhy pests spread so rapidly in multifamily buildings compared to single-family homesWhen a small issue becomes a nightmare: how one infested unit can impact an entire buildingThe most unusual or memorable pest situations from real community casesSafe and eco-friendly pest control options for residents concerned about toxicityTenting vs. spot treatment: how effective are different approaches for drywood and subterranean termites?Preventative policies boards can adopt—from hygiene to landscaping—to stop infestations before they startPlants and trees to avoid: what attracts rodents to community landscapesDee's journey into pest control and what keeps her passionate about the fieldHow modern pest control has evolved with greener, less toxic technologiesPractical advice for boards developing or updating their community pest control plans Related Links and Resources:Article: Pest Control Company finds success through focusing on client retention, not revenuePest Control Resources: Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer ServicesPodcast: Pesky Critters in Your Community?

John Graham shipped out on a freighter when he was 16, hitchhiked through the Algerian Revolution at 19 and was on the team that made the first ascent of Denali's North Wall at 20, a climb so dangerous it's never been repeated. He hitchhiked around the world at 22, working as a correspondent in every war he came across. A US Foreign Service Officer for 15 years, he was in the middle of the 1969 revolution in Libya and the war in Vietnam. To the young Graham, adventure was everything, and each brush with death only pushed him to up the ante—and to bury ever deeper the emotional life needed to make him whole.Then it began to change, prompted by agonizing reflections at the height of a battle in Vietnam. At the United Nations he risked his career, crossing his own government to support initiatives for peace and justice in Asia, Africa and Cuba. His secret efforts against the UN infuriated racists in the US Congress by engineering a UN plan that helped end apartheid in South Africa. Then came the all-or-nothing bet he was forced to make, fighting for his life in a lifeboat in the middle of a typhoon when his ship caught fire and sank in the Gulf of Alaska. As a global peace builder, post Foreign Service, he negotiated with the Khmer Rouge for a cease-fire in Cambodia and helped avert a major strike in Canada, save what's left of the Everglades and find long-term environmental solutions in the Pacific Northwest. For years he contributed to peace efforts in Israel/Palestine (efforts that got him put on George Bush's No Fly List as a threat to national security.) For the last 40 years he's been a leader of the Giraffe Heroes Project, a global movement inspiring people to stick their necks out to solve public problems and giving them tools to succeed (giraffe.org). His speeches, blogs, podcasts and interviews have a global audience. His books include Outdoor Leadership; Stick Your Neck Out–A Street-smart Guide to Creating Change in Your Community and Beyond; a memoir, QUEST: Risk, Adventure, and the Search for Meaning; and Denali Diary, a first-person account of one of the most daring first ascents in North American mountaineering. He has degrees from Harvard and Stanford, neither of which he will ever use.Contact John Graham:www.john graham.orgMy memoir, which is Quest – Risk, Adventure, and Search for Meaning.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnagraham1/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnAGraham344/Dr. Kimberley LinertSpeaker, Author, Broadcaster, Mentor, Trainer, Behavioral OptometristEvent Planners- I am available to speak at your event.

Mary welcomes new guest Dr. Corey Miller of Ratio Christi ministry. Corey Miller grew up in Utah as a 7th generation Mormon.

Today we discuss higher education's devolution into an echo chamber for leftist ideologies. Far from an actual education, today's ultra-liberal universities are really the gatekeepers for revolutionary ideas. We saw for ourselves how the curtain was pulled back to reveal rabid antisemitism from coast to coast. Is there any way to reclaim our once great educational institutions?
