Is ongoing hair loss more than just aging or genetics? More than 35 million men and 21 million women experience hair loss to some degree. Pharmacist and physician liaison, Bryana Gregory, takes a root-cause approach to understanding hair loss and hair regrowth. She explains how factors like hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation, and post-viral immune stress can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle and lead to excessive shedding. Hair loss is often the result of the body prioritizing survival over auxiliary functions like hair growth, especially during periods of prolonged inflammation.

Bryana introduces a proprietary compounded Hair Support Solution designed to address both hair loss and regrowth simultaneously. This topical formulation combines three synergistic ingredients to support circulation, collagen production, and follicle regeneration, and help reactivate dormant hair follicles. Together, these ingredients work locally at the scalp without systemic absorption, supporting healthier follicles and longer growth phases.

The episode also emphasizes the importance of supporting hair health through proper nutrition, adequate protein intake, stress management, and avoiding inflammatory hair products. Bryana explains how consistent topical use, combined with lifestyle awareness, can help restore balance at the follicular level. For those experiencing chronic hair thinning, post-COVID hair loss, or hormone-related shedding, this compounded solution offers a targeted, physician-guided option for addressing hair loss at its source.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that David versus Goliath is our example of how we need to face the intimidating giants in our lives. The battle is the Lord’s, and we don’t fight alone. But, our faith still needs to be active like David stepping into the action.

What makes the gospel both wide open yet extremely narrow?

In today’s message, Pastor Chris highlights Peter’s bold declaration: there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. The way to God is exclusive; only Jesus saves. No one reaches the Father except through Him. Yet it’s wonderfully inclusive because the offer stands for every single person. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. God can and will receive every heart that turns to His Son.

We are all aware that there is good and evil in the world. Most Christians acknowledge God in the good times, but where is He during the bad times? In today's message, find out how you can be secure in the sovereignty of God through every circumstance!

A new year often inspires fresh resolve. We plan more carefully, set ambitious goals, and commit to making this time different. But year after year, many resolutions quietly fade—not because people lack sincerity, but because most change efforts rely on willpower alone.

That’s where a deeper, more biblical approach to change comes in.

Today on Faith & Finance, I sat down with Taylor Standridge, Production Manager at FaithFi and lead writer of Our Ultimate Treasure and Look at the Sparrows, to explore why so many resolutions fail—and what Scripture reveals about change that truly lasts.

Taylor explained that most resolutions fade because they’re built on effort rather than formation.

“Willpower is a limited resource,” Taylor said. “We assume that if we just try harder or become more disciplined, we’ll finally become the person we want to be. But once motivation wears off, or life gets stressful, old patterns take over.”

According to Taylor, the problem isn’t that people set bad goals—it’s that they try to change actions without addressing identity. Without a deeper shift in what we value and who we believe we are, even the best intentions eventually lose momentum.

“We may change what we do for a while,” Taylor said, “but if we don’t change the kind of person we’re becoming, those changes won’t last.”

Taylor drew a helpful distinction between modifying behavior and experiencing true transformation.

“Behavior change is about effort—showing up, pushing through, saying no,” he said. “But identity transformation reshapes our desires and motivations. It changes why we choose what we choose.”

That’s why FaithFi emphasizes the idea that behavior follows belief. When change focuses only on habits, goals often end once they’re achieved. But when change is rooted in identity, it cultivates a way of life that continues beyond any milestone.

“It’s the difference between acting healthy and becoming the kind of person who naturally chooses health,” Taylor explained.

To illustrate, Taylor pointed to health resolutions—one of the most common goals people set each year.

“A behavior-based goal might be, ‘I want to lose 20 pounds,’” Taylor said. “That’s fine—but once the weight is gone, the motivation often disappears.”

An identity-based goal asks a deeper question: What kind of person do I want to become?

“When someone says, ‘I want to honor God by caring for the body He’s given me,’ everything changes,” Taylor said. “Now the goal isn’t just a number—it’s a lifestyle.”

Identity-driven goals last because they’re rooted in purpose, not pressure.

Taylor said this approach is especially powerful when applied to financial goals.

“Let’s say someone wants to pay off $20,000 in debt,” he said. “That’s a great goal—but it becomes far more meaningful when it’s rooted in identity.”

Instead of focusing solely on eliminating debt, Taylor encouraged believers to frame their financial goals around stewardship.

“When someone says, ‘I want to be a wise steward so I can live with freedom and give generously,’ the goal becomes formative,” he explained. “That identity continues shaping decisions long after the debt is gone.”

According to Taylor, identity-based stewardship influences spending, saving, giving, and long-term financial faithfulness—not just one year’s resolution.
