The obvious conversation this week is around the 76'ers new free agent. We don't spend much time on it, but it does need to be mentioned. Mark and Aaron talk about the Cavaliers but today's biggest discussion is about bitterness and how to deal with it.

Every hair on your head is numbered – Luke 12:7. That's the verse behind the name of Twelve 7 Barbershop. In this episode of First and Focused, we talk with Kevin Zeallear, co-founder and owner of Twelve 7 Barbershop in Worthington, Ohio, about building a business rooted in Scripture, ministering to clients one haircut at a time, and walking through a recent cancer battle that changed his perspective on life, faith, and marriage.

Kevin got his start at Teck's Barbershop — the longest-running business on Ohio State's campus — before founding Classics Barbershop and eventually Twelve 7, inspired by Luke 12:7. Today, Twelve 7 Barbershop is home to nine successful barbers and was named the #1 Barbershop in Worthington for 2026.

In this conversation, we cover:

• The story behind Luke 12:7 and how it shapes Twelve 7's culture
• The "God winks" Kevin discovered while building his business
• Going from zero to nine six-figure barbers in one year
• What makes clients keep coming back — and how Twelve 7 won Worthington's top-rated barbershop award
• Ministering to clients "in the chair" and living out full-time ministry as a barber
• Kevin's cancer journey — the diagnosis, the fight, and ringing the bell
• What cancer taught him about marriage, faith, and what really matters
• Where his faith journey began and how it's matured through trials
• Encouragement for anyone at "step zero" in their faith
• Advice for business owners who want to integrate faith into their work

This is a powerful conversation about resilience, purpose, and building a business — and a life — around your faith.

We are “pinching some salt” on topics that we face as Christians in today’s world. According to Jesus in Matthew 5:13, we are to be the salt of the earth. That means we must Speak, Act, Look and Think like Christ in every area of our lives. In each episode we will dive into a topic and see what scripture says about it, while telling stories from our own lives.

Don't Push Me: What do we do when someone wrongs us? Today we are unpacking Matthew 18:15-17 where Jesus lays out a format for us for how to deal with wrongdoing.

We would like to thank our amazing sponsors: Renewed Strength Church, Cheryl and Dan Crews, and Zach and Taylor Johnson for their support!

The Session: The Importance of Laughter

Proverbs 17:22: A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Joyce Meyer writes in her article, “The Benefits of Laughter!”, “Laughter is so important! It’s the outward evidence of inward joy, and it is proven to make you feel better. The joy of the Lord can ease any emotional and physical pain and bring you a new level of satisfaction in life.”

It has been said that laughter is like internal jogging, and I think that is so true. Laughter improves emotional and mental health, it lifts our spirits, and it dispels worry. It’s almost impossible to be anxious and laugh at the same time. This is why we would be wise to express joy in laughter every chance we get.

Laughter helps in the battle against anxiety, fear and worry. It also helps in the battle against stress, which is the body’s response to what the mind is thinking.

Therapeutic Benefits of Laughter in Mental Health: A Theoretical Review, from the National Library of Medicine 

Laughter is a strategy that has physical, psychological, and social impact in relationships improving health, ultimately improving the quality of life.

Laughter has a positive effect on the mental health and immune system.

Laughter reduces the stress making hormones found in the blood stream. This helps the impact on your health.

Laughter impacts cortisol, epinephrine, and dopamine levels.

Laughter releases endorphins- happy cells.

If laughter isn’t a “normal” part of us, how do we find it?  Watch squirrels act squirrely out our office window?  (no….no, I haven’t done that….)

How do we change a culture of battle or sadness to a culture of laughter in our home?
