What happens when you stop asking, "What do I want to do?" and start asking, "What is God calling me to do?"

In this episode of First & Focused, Mark Greaves sits down with Trina Ryan, Regional Vice President for Shaw Industries and leader of Women of Good Work, to talk about faith, leadership, motherhood, obedience, and bringing the Gospel into the workplace.

Trina has spent 14 years growing as a business leader at Shaw Industries while also becoming an influential voice in Marketplace Ministry throughout Central Ohio. Her passion has now led her to help build Women of Good Work, a movement focused on helping women live out their God-given calling and experience greater purpose in their work.

Trina shares her faith journey, the moment she began feeling the tug of the Holy Spirit to integrate faith and work, and a powerful story of simply living out her faith in an ordinary business relationship.

Mark and Trina also talk about one of the most important roles in her life: being a mother. They explore the lessons motherhood has taught her about leadership, influence, and herself.

The conversation eventually turns toward Women of Good Work, why the movement was launched specifically for women, the overwhelming response to its first event, and why more business professionals are looking for ways to integrate their faith into every part of their lives.

This is a powerful conversation about obedience, purpose, influence, and having the courage to follow God's leading in the marketplace.

In This Episode

• Trina's faith journey and when Jesus became first in her life
• Recognizing the Holy Spirit's prompting to integrate Faith + Work
• A powerful testimony from the Tithe Foundation event
• What motherhood has taught Trina about leadership and influence
• Why Women of Good Work was created
• The incredible response to the organization's first event
• The future vision for expanding Women of Good Work
• Why professionals are increasingly integrating faith into their work
• Encouragement for believers who are hesitant to let faith lead every area of life

The Session: Help for Bullying

Psalm 138:7, “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.” 

First, let’s define bullying. Tom, how do you feel about this, from www.stopbullying.gov:  Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior by one person or group toward another, involving a real or perceived power imbalance, and repeated over time.

In today’s world, bullying is not just physical, but psychological, and on-line.  Links to some of what we share are included in the notes below.

2019 statistics

Between 1 in 4 and 1 in 3 U.S. students say they have been bullied at school. Many fewer have been cyberbullied. 

• In one large study, about 49% of children in grades 4–12 reported being bullied by other students at school at least once during the past month, whereas 30.8% reported bullying others during that time.
• Defining "frequent" involvement in bullying as occurring two or more times within the past month, 40.6% of students reported some type of frequent involvement in bullying, with 23.2% being the youth frequently bullied, 8.0% being the youth who frequently bullied others, and 9.4% playing both roles frequently.

2024 statistics WHERE ARE THEY?

The Monique Burr Foundation for Children is an organization that offers evidence-based bullying prevention and education programs.  They report:

About 19.2% of students aged 12-18 enrolled in grades 6-12 experienced bullying nationwide during the 2021-2022 school year.

• 13 million students will be bullied in the US this year.  1 in 3 will be victims of cyber bullying.
• 160,000 students miss school daily for fear of being bullied
• 1 out of 4 children are bullied over their lifetime (US Dept. of Justice)
• Every 7 minutes a child is bullied on a playground
• Between 50% and 77% of students report having been bullied
•  Of teachers, 25% see nothing wrong with bullying and consequently intervene in only 4% of bullying incidents
• 85% of bullying is not responded to appropriately or at all

WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF BULLYING?

• Victims often suffer academically and from long-term psychological effects
• Bullies often go on to commit crimes – former bullies have a 4-fold increase in criminal behavior by age 24
• Both victims and bullies may later become depressed or even become suicidal
• After interviewing 41 school shooters in 37 incidents, the Secret Service found that 2/3 had been bullied, and their attacks were motivated by a will to seek revenge.

Core Biblical Principles

• Inherent Worth: Recognizing that every person is made in the image of God and deserves respect.
• Defending Others: Encouraging children to step in safely, as standing up for the vulnerable reflects biblical justice.
• Healthy Boundaries: Balancing grace and forgiveness with clear limits against abusive behavior.  

 Practical Steps for Prevention

• Establish Safe Environments: Teach youth groups and schools to prioritize healthy relationships over mere rule-compliance.
• Empower Bystanders: Train youth to refuse to give a bully an audience, include isolated peers, and notify a trusted adult.
• Use Structured Programs: Implement dedicated frameworks like The Protectors Faith-Based Anti-Bullying Program or explore advice from Christian Bullying Prevention by Jeff Veley.  
• Do you need help address

Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. For episode 201 we catch up on the Cavs offseason, talk a little players and microphones and then focus our attention on James 1:19.
