We discuss the value in partnering with the Supernovas when aligning your business with one of the best franchises in all of women sports.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gina explains how the Supernovas became the premier franchise in the PVF and have carried that same level of excellence into the inaugral year of the MLV.  With first class leadership and outstanding players the Supernovas are positioned to make another run for a championship.  &lt;/p&gt;

Nate shares how God is positioning people into our path that are rising up and not neglecting the responsibility of being salt and light.  He notes the Church shouldn't be political, but should be biblical as they position themselves to influence law, government and culture.  Nate reminds us to ask ourselves what we can do to preserve the freedoms that were given to us and our children.</p>

Anthony discusses how God transformed his performance-based identity into purpose-driven ministry, leading to the development of GPS and Tellura assessments that map gifts, passions, and personal story to reveal divine purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How performance-based identity in sports and corporate life led to spiritual awakening.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The three pillars of purposeful living: clarity, intentionality, and community&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GPS assessment: 15-20 minute tool revealing basic purpose coordinates through gifts, passions, and story&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tellura assessment: comprehensive 60-90 minute life mapping including proficiencies, praises, passions, and pitfalls&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real-world examples of people discovering purpose without leaving their current jobs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The difference between universal, unified, and unique purpose in Christian calling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How AI technology combined with human coaching creates personalized purpose statements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Partnership opportunities with schools, churches, chaplaincies, and veteran organizations&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Farm Bureau&apos;s unique &quot;one deductible per occurrence&quot; policy that can save thousands during multi-property storm damage&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why wood shake roofs are driving premiums sky-high and how replacing them can cut costs by 75%&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The step-by-step process homeowners should follow when filing storm damage claims&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How to choose reputable local contractors versus storm chasers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why filing legitimate weather claims won&apos;t increase your individual rates&lt;/li&gt;

David shares how his faith integrates into every aspect of his business and life, from his hair salon chair to his weekly radio show &quot;Destiny&quot; on KCRO. The conversation explores reinvention, using your gifts to serve others, and building community through authentic media.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How David uses his cosmetology chair as a ministry platform to affirm and counsel clients&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The transition from survival mode to giving yourself away as you mature in business&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why David started his radio show &quot;Destiny&quot; to showcase positive community stories&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The importance of staying ready so you don&apos;t have to get ready when opportunities arise&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How to navigate physical demands of long-term service careers while maintaining excellence&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The power of authentic media versus mainstream sources people no longer trust&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why your gift will make room for you anywhere when the opportunity presents itself&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The balance between using your talents and getting out of God&apos;s way to let Him work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
