In the wake of tragic headlines, political tension, global instability, and economic stress, people are once again being confronted with the angst of chronic stress, personal pressure, relational strain, and the weight of what feels like nonstop chaos in our world.   For many men... that weight is often carried silently. They are emotionally drained, discouraged, powerless, or overwhelmed by what is happening around them, in their families, and in their communities.    ⁠Dr. Ronn Hale⁠,  Senior Pastor/Apostle of ⁠The Carpenter’s House of Worship⁠ in Avondale, Arizona, brings a faith-based perspective and a voice and message that reach far beyond church walls. He is well-positioned to encourage people seeking tools to maintain a healthy mindset, process life with clarity, and stay grounded in difficult times.   Dr. Hale offers practical, encouraging insight drawn from the principles of his new book, ⁠The Power of a Kingdom Mindset⁠. His message is especially relevant for those trying to remain steady when silent pressures become too loud to process alone.   Follow Dr. Ronn Website: www.drronnhale.org IG: @drronnhale (IG) Follow B.

Dr. Chantrise Sims Holliman is an award-winning educator, author, and speaker in the areas of resilience, creativity, and flexible thinking.  Three months after her 45th birthday, Dr. Chantrise survived a widow-maker heart attack, which left her partially paralyzed and a bilateral lower limb amputee. This event marked a shift in how she saw her life’s plan and purpose. Today, she’s on a mission to empower Gen X Women to thrive again after facing life’s setbacks as she also raises her voice on the challenges and triumphs disabled individuals, including herself, encounter daily. Dr. Chantrise reminds us that disability isn’t a negative word, and disabled people are just that—people. She wants to ensure that “justice for all” truly means justice for ALL.  Her latest book, “Shoes Without Feet: A Journey of Strength, Hope, Obstacles, Encouragement, Success”, offers inspiration that emboldens us to keep moving forward, counsels us to stand strong amid challenges, and reminds us to dispel the notion that our situations and consequences define our ability to be successful at reaching our goals while facing adversity.  Listen...and B Lifted Up!
