  • The Reconnect with Carmen LaBerge - How to handle it when your family dismisses your faith in Christ - Bill English | Hope in a dad-deprived culture - Anthony Bradley

    Along with more post-election thoughts, Carmen talks with Bill English of On Path Counseling.  With the holidays on the way, what do you do when you have family members who are cold, maybe even bulligerent, to your Christian faith.  Anthony Bradley, author of "The Fatherhood Effect," talks about the struggle our youth, especially boys, are having with a lack of positive manhood and fatherhood, looking at its effects on them.  How do we cultivate cross-generational relations for the benefit of the youth.

     key  topics

    Season reads 2 Samuel 17, where Hushai counters Ahithophel’s plan to capture David and persuades Absalom to delay pursuit.

    The chapter notes that the Lord turned Ahithophel’s strategically stronger advice aside, though the people in the story could not see the larger purpose.
    Hushai sends a warning through messengers Jonathan and Ahimaaz, who escape detection with help from a woman who hides them in a well.
    David crosses the Jordan before dawn after receiving the warning, while Absalom mobilizes Israel’s army.
    Shobai, Maker, and Barzillai provide David and his followers with food and practical supplies in Mahanaim.
    Season highlights God’s use of seemingly insignificant people, unexpected circumstances, and timely information as forms of provision.
    The episode encourages listeners not to lose sight of small signs of care while waiting for a larger outcome.
    Season closes with a blessing to trust God’s faithfulness and timing, prepare for what comes next, and find joy in the process.


     takeaways

    we don't always recognize God's help while it's happening.

    God had this plan all along. This is something that the characters in the story can't see.
    Scripture uses seemingly insignificant people. To do courageous acts.
    God uses all kinds of people, not just kings and and generals, big prophets, and people with fancy titles.
    God's provision looks like a a wise friend, an unexpected delay, a stranger, or information arriving just at the perfect moment.
    We forget that God is at work, that He hasn't forgotten us, that He hasn't gone to sleep on the job.
    We can stop paying attention to the little things. And drowned in the big picture.
    He's using all manner of people and places and things to accomplish his great plan.
    Begin to celebrate now. Begin to thank him for what he is doing.
    trust in his faithfulness, in his perfect plan and his perfect timing, and rest and be filled with joy.

     action  items

    Notice small, ordinary forms of help instead of focusing only on the big picture.

    In seasons of waiting, remember that God may be working through people, timing, information, and practical provision.
    Prepare for the next step, thank God for what is happening, and practice celebrating before the outcome is fully visible.

  • The Joy Bringer Podcast with Season Bowers - The Joy Bringer Podcast - 2 Samuel Ch 16 (The Lord Will Fight For You)

    The Joy Bringer Podcast - 2 Samuel Ch 16 (The Lord Will Fight For You)

     summary

    Season reflects on 2 Samuel 16 and the challenge of responding when people criticize, misrepresent, or accuse us. Through David’s restraint, her own college experience, and practical cautions about gossip and rushed decisions, she encourages listeners to trust God as defender while speaking truth when needed.


     keywords

    2 Samuel 16, David, faith, criticism, trusting God, gossip, biblical reflection, Christian podcast, Season Bowers, Joy Bringer


     key  topics

    Season introduces 2 Samuel 16 through the reminder from Exodus 14:14: God will fight for you, and you need only be still.

    Ziba brings David supplies and claims Mephibosheth has stayed behind to reclaim Saul’s kingdom; David gives Ziba his master’s property without hearing Mephibosheth’s side.
    Season warns against making permanent decisions based on incomplete information, especially when hurt, isolated, or under pressure.
    Shimei curses and throws stones at David, while Abishai offers to kill him; David refuses retaliation and leaves room for God to defend him.
    David acknowledges that his own sin may have consequences without accepting Shimei’s accusations as true.
    Season connects David’s restraint to Proverbs 12:16 and shares a college theater confrontation where she responded assertively, kindly, and truthfully.
    Listeners are urged to consider how gossip spreads, whether a story is theirs to tell, and how they would feel if the same claim were made about them.
    Season notes that public attention moves on and encourages handing criticism to God rather than reacting to every insult.
    The chapter’s account of Ziba prompts a second lesson: pause, seek God’s guidance, and avoid rewarding flattery or deception with rushed decisions.


     takeaways

    the more faith we place in God as our defender, as our righteousness, and as our peace, the easier it is for us to move about the world even when things seem unfair.

    This really is a warning about making permanent decisions based on incomplete information.
    He recognizes that there is consequence to his actions.
    A fool is quick tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted.
    I was assertive, I was kind, and I spoke truth.
    what I've had to learn is just to allow the truth to speak for itself
    To think before we speak, to recognize who it is we're talking about. Is it our story to tell?
    Let's involve the Lord in our decision making, so that we don't jump to conclusions
    We can be still in his presence. We can be surrounded in his peace, confident in what we know to be true
    trust him to lead us and guide us and fight our battles.


     key  frameworks

    God as defender: trust the Lord to fight battles while discerning when it is appropriate to speak up.

    Pause before permanent decisions: seek God’s guidance and get the full story before acting on claims.


     action  items

    Before repeating a claim, ask whether it is true, whether it is yours to tell, and how you would feel if it were said about you.

    When criticism comes, pause and seek God’s guidance before responding; choose calm, truthful, and kind words when a response is needed.
    Avoid major decisions based on one person’s account, flattery, or pressure. Hear other perspectives first.

  • WiLD Conversation - What Are You Hiding From Yourself? Imperfect Leadership with Jim Brown

    What if the biggest obstacle standing in the way of your team’s performance isn’t your strategy or capital plan, but the pressure you feel to have all the answers?

    In this episode of The WiLD Conversation Podcast, hosts Dr. Rob McKenna and Sabeth Kapahu sit down with Jim Brown, author of The Imperfect CEO and The Imperfect Board Member, and founder of Org Health. Together, they peel back the curtain on the exhausting myth of executive perfection and confront the hidden fears leaders rarely admit out loud: What if someone else in the room has a better answer than me?

    Drawing from decades of work with C-suite executives and boards, Jim and Rob unpack why pretending to have it all together fractures team trust, fuels turnover, and breeds quiet disengagement. 

    They explore how real leadership shifts the focus away from being the "hero- doer" to building systems that embrace imperfection because extraordinary things happen when imperfect people are put together well.

    In this episode, they dive into:

    • The Cost of Perfectionism: Why western corporate expectations force leaders to pretend, and how acknowledging personal brokenness creates room for others to thrive.
    • What Leaders Hide: Examining the subconscious need to be the "answer person" and how leaders unintentionally train their teams to stay silent.
    • The Trust-Health Dilemma: Does trust create organizational health, or does health create trust?
    • The IKEA vs. Layoff Paradigm: The real bottom-line difference between cutting headcount for quick savings and multiplying human value.
    • The First 20 Minutes in the Room: What Jim and Rob look for immediately when evaluating leadership dynamics without using an assessment.

      • Stop carrying the weight alone. Tune in to discover why healthy, high-trust leadership doesn't demand flawless answers, it demands the courage to stop pretending and lead with candor.
