Burnout and exhaustion are terms that most of us have become all too acquainted with, especially after the trials of 2020. We know the signs too well; irritability, sleeplessness, loss of vision - but do we know how to effectively address them? And more importantly, do we know when we need to pause and seek help? 

This episode is a candid exploration of these questions, with insights from our special guest, Wes Butler.  Together, we unpack the importance of self-awareness and holistic evaluation, using the metaphor of an EKG (Evaluate Everything, Kill What's Killing You, and Grow What's Good). We delve into the concept of 'vampire power' - those sneaky energy-drainers that lurk in our daily lives - and how identifying these is the stepping-stone to implementing necessary changes. 

But it's not all about the negatives. Wes shares how to grow what's good in our lives and find time for things that bring us joy and health.  And finally, we shed light on the often-overlooked spiritual dimension of burnout. We explore biblical principles of confession and repentance, illuminating how these can pave the path to healing and freedom.

This week our special guest is Stuart Rothberg, the Interim Sr. Executive Director - Pastoral Care at Sagemont Church in Houston, Texas.  Mr. Rothberg has an extensive amount of knowledge, information, understanding, and love for Israel; this week we delve into the intricate history of Israel, and the complexities and controversies surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 

From the Biblical history of the region to the Zionist movement leading to the United Nations Partition Plan, we work to unravel the threads of history and current events of the region, reflect on the command to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and discuss how Christians should respond to the global narrative. 

This episode is an invitation to an open dialogue on faith, scripture, and global affairs and we look forward to your thoughts, dialogue, and conversation on this one.

Keep moving mountains!

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
          -Robert Frost

​A lot can happen in 1,029 days, and this week we check in with Holly Crowder (E021), which is still, after 134 episodes, the most-listened-to-episode in the entire 17Twenty catalog.  This week we talk about empathy, stories of impact from listeners, and healing from the sharing of her story.  Over the last three years there have been victories and lessons learned through season that followed.  In true 17Twenty-style we talk about all of it.

Astute listeners will recall that around the time of the first recording, Holly recently announced that she was leaving her job to take a season which resulted in, among other things, her entrepreneurial journey of Unbounded Path, where Holly offers HR consulting, team building & facilitation, small group coaching, strategic planning, and one-on-one coaching for executives, leaders, and women.

You're going to love this one, folks.

This week Kevin and Stewart sit down and talk about two really big, fun, and exciting, topics:

• What has Kevin been up to the last year?
• What is Kevin doing now and going forward?

Spoiler Alert: For Kevin, the last year has been filled with joy and thankfulness while doing deep work on himself, others, and the construction industry.  Though Kevin will keep many of the plates spinning in this new season, today's episode announces the launch of Mountain Mover Facades.

Mountain Mover Facades is a glass and glazing specialty contractor headquartered in D/FW that does procurement, fabrication, and installation of  glazing systems on commercial buildings.  But that's not what makes them special; it's what they call their PVC that makes them special (purpose, vision and core values).  This week's episode dives into defining that, introducing the talented individuals on the team, and previews the excitement for an idea that will build an army of Mountain Movers, one person at a time!
