On The Rise: Have therapists replaced parents? Olde English and time-saving hacks.
Published 7 days ago • 3 min read
Welcome to the On The Rise newsletter, where I feature fascinating, helpful, and sometimes curious content that caught my attention this week.
Today, why your therapist is not your parent, David Allen with some time hacks that work, and a YouTube video that traces the history of English back to its incomprehensible roots.
Therapists Are Not Parents
Freya India with some devastating insights.
If you care about family (which I’m guessing you do), you’ll love this piece by Freya India on how therapists are displacing parents in young adults, and why that’s a bad idea.
I discovered Freya last year, and she’s quickly become one of my favorite reads. So insightful and a great writer.
Is Your Church Financially Ready for the Future?
Learn from Craig Groeschel, Chris Hodges, Ashley Wooldridge, and more.
Too many churches are quietly stuck in survival mode—giving is flat, budgets are tight, and leaders feel pressure they rarely talk about.
In this on-demand training, I’m joined by Craig Groeschel, Chris Hodges, and Ashley Wooldridge to share proven, practical ways top churches are funding ministry without gimmicks or sounding like a late-night infomercial.
You don’t just get theory, you get exactly what’s working right now for healthy, growing churches.
It isn’t too late to make 2026 your best year yet. Start today and build a funding model that your future mission can thrive on.
If you’re like me when I was a young pastor, I was trying to figure out how to break the 1000 barrier long before we got there. Advance planning never hurts.
Your Sermon Can Power Your Whole Week
Repurpose your content with Gloo Content Studio.
Pastors, your time is precious—and Gloo Content Studio is built to give it back to you.
Imagine uploading your sermon once and instantly generating everything you need for the week ahead: social media reels, quotes, discussion guides, devotionals, and posts—without touching an editing tool.
Gloo Content Studio automates transcription, summarization, clipping, and content creation, saving you 6–10 hours every week. That’s time you can reinvest in prayer, people, and preparation.
Spend less time behind a screen and more time shepherding your church. Let your sermons work harder, so you don’t have to.
Languages evolve (more on that in a future issue of this newsletter). This 10-minute YouTube video traces the English language back 1600 years, where it almost sounds Norwegian or Finnish (and incomprehensible to me).
I start to understand what’s being said around 1500, just before Shakespeare. How about you? Fascinating video.
Cheering for you,
