Ashley Thomas didn't wait for permission to take her next step—she made the decision to invest in herself. In this episode, she shares how she went from high school chemistry teacher to doctoral candidate, all while balancing work, life, and the emotional weight of the dissertation process. We talk about what it really means to bet on your future, why group coaching changed everything, and how she learned to ask for help without shame. If you've ever wondered whether it's worth it to invest in support—Ashley's story will show you what's possible when you do.

I have been a teacher for 19 years in the DeKalb County School District, with nine years in the middle school setting, teaching all sciences and ten years at the high school level, teaching general and accelerated chemistry, AP chemistry, and forensic science. I earned my B.S. in chemistry from Xavier University of Louisiana, master's from Keller Graduate School in information systems, and an M.Ed. and Ed.S. in instructional technology from Kennesaw State University. I am a firm believer in leveraging my technology expertise to support my fellow peers while developing my students' skills. I have facilitated various professional development initiatives over the past decade. I have also presented at multiple levels, including both instructional technology and educational research conferences, at the local, state, national, and international levels.   During my tenure in my local school district, I was named Star Teacher in 2019, Stephenson High School's Teacher of the Year 2023- 2024, and the DeKalb County School District's High School Teacher of the Year 2023-2024. I have been granted the Explore Learning Leadership Award for Implementation in 2015 and 2016. I also earned the KSU's Bagwell Scholar Award in Spring 2022 while earning my specialist degree. I was also honored in the Georgia Senate with a Resolution for Stephenson's Teacher of the Year in 2024. I am currently a doctoral candidate at Kennesaw State University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA throughout my studies.   In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to an eclectic array of music, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling whenever possible.   I was affected by Hurricane Katrina and had to take my last semester classes at Spelman College and Georgia State University. I must give credit where it's due. I successfully completed my BS while navigating that bump in the road, and I also pursued a doctoral degree while experiencing the loss of my sister and, subsequently, my father within 18 months.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Stage 02:50 Meet Ashley Thomas: A Journey in Education 05:42 The Decision to Join the Program 10:28 The Value of Community and Support 15:04 Navigating Personal Challenges 19:01 Experiencing the Writing Retreat 24:02 Investing in Your Future 24:31 Investing in Yourself 25:22 The Power of Community and Support 27:28 Planning for Success 30:31 The Importance of Outcome-Driven Goals 32:03 The Value of Group Coaching 35:19 Embracing Support and Vulnerability 39:08 Commitment to the Process 42:55 Taking the Leap: Just Do It

Every single man listening to this is familiar with discipline and has applied it (to varying degrees) in his life. We generally think of discipline as an overall good thing (and, I think it is) but it can often lead to bouts of frustration and unnecessary suffering if utilized incorrectly. My guest today, Craig Ballantyne, makes the case that discipline, although, a powerful force for productivity comes with strings attached, and isn't the end-all, save-all it's often made out to be. Today, we talk about what true discipline is not, why chasing the wrong target is so common and what to do about it, what I call the “self-help hangover” and how to avoid it, why you should know the distinction between standards and expectations, and how to avoid what Craig calls, “The Doom Loop” in your life.

What if forgiveness didn't mean forgetting, reconciling, or letting people off the hook — but reclaiming your future? Learning how to forgive — even when it feels like the hardest thing in the world to do — is transformative. It's a complex process, and there's a real art to balancing boundaries and letting go. It's an art Rachael Coopes is obsessed with. She's the author of The Art of Forgiveness.

During a conference, we once asked everyone how many people had same-sex attraction as some part of their history, either from childhood, the porn they watched or a relationship they pursued. Over half the people raised their hand.Today, 22% of Gen Z identify as LGBTQ. Even with this level of cultural prevalence, many Christians struggle with how they view people with same-sex attraction, and what should they say to them.On this podcast, we have Part 2 of our conversation with Niki Speed, and how God pursued her life to not only save and heal her, but to bless her. You'll be encouraged by her story as we bring her husband Paul into the conversation. Together, they paint a beautiful picture of how God took a hopeless, helpless, hot mess (Niki's words), and turned her into something only God could create - beautiful, whole and redeemed.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

When we first heard Niki Speed's story, it was instrumental in helping us believe nothing was too big for God, including same-sex attraction and the trauma of our past. Today, we're so pleased to introduce Niki Speed, who is married to Paul Speed, the Founder of Whatever it Takes Ministries. We've served with them for many years at weekend intensives with Whatever it Takes Ministries, and Niki is real, raw and shares transparently about how she not only embraced a lesbian lifestyle for 20 years, but also how she got there, and how God rescued her life.So, if you need a fresh touch from God in believing Him for what seems to be impossible, listen to Niki (and Paul) as they share how God brought Niki from a life that most would think could never recover, to a ministry that's helping people overcome the trauma and wounds of their past.Phil and PriscillaP.S. - Do you need help in your marriage?

Healing Our Hurts What if your past pain is still shaping your future? This message is about healing—not just the obvious hurts, but the hidden wounds we carry through life. Betrayal, grief, disappointment, shame—these don't fade with time. But the cross and the empty tomb tell a better story. Jesus showed us the way: He acknowledged the hurt, let go of the right to retaliate, prayed for His enemies, made room for reconciliation, and trusted God with the outcome. If He carried our wounds to the cross and walked out of the grave—scars and all—maybe your pain has a purpose too. And maybe healing will start today.  Luke 23:26-56 Discussion topics Icebreaker - When you hear the word hurt, what's the first story, memory, or feeling that comes to mind?  Luke 22:44 – Jesus in the Garden - What does this moment teach us about acknowledging our pain instead of suppressing it?  Is there a hurt in your life that you've avoided naming or dealing with?  5 Steps to Healing - Of the 5 Steps to Healing shared in the sermon (Acknowledge the Hurt, Forfeit the Right to Punish, Pray for Them, Be Open to Reconciliation, Trust God with Your Future), Which step is hardest for you right now? Why?  Which one do you feel God is inviting you to take next?  From Pain to Purpose - Jesus rose with scars, not open wounds. What would it look like for your hurt to become a scar—no longer painful, but still purposeful?  Is there anyone in your Community Group that needs to take their next step by being water baptized?   Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what's next
