The Friday ReFresh: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Ben and Travis
Hello and welcome to the Friday ReFresh, a Ben and Travis podcast. I’m Ben from Ben and Travis and I have been working as a minister for 23 years and as a counselor for the last 10 years. I recognize that there are a lot of things in our world that impact different people in different ways. Working in counseling I’ve learned that there are a lot more things that can rock our world that I never knew existed. Many of those things are hidden struggles that others may never know about — or at least they don’t know about until something comes along and quite literally “opens up a can” of past trauma or hidden struggles.So I invite you to come along with me on this journey of exploration and understanding through this podcast which offers short episodes and hopefully informational and motivational material to help you as you prepare for the last day of the week. Not every episode will be about a mental health struggle but there will certainly be weeks that are. Sometimes we will just hope t

ABC's of Accountability
Welcome in to the Friday Refresh brought to you by Team Ben and Travis for St. Jude Marathon Weekend. We still need sponsors. Help us reach our goal here: https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR?px=5816464&fr_id=164588&pg=personal ABC…easy as 1…2…3 Have you ever tried to start something new? Turn over a new leaf? Get into a different routine? Maybe it is a new study plan. Could be a new workout regiment. Or simply a different diet. In that case, “Easy” might be a little over stated. Generally change isn’t so simple. But today, let’s think about my ABCs of change.

Are You An Edwin or a John?
Welcome in to the Friday Refresh…brought to you by Team Ben and Travis for St Jude Marathon Weekend. Go to https://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Heroes/SJMMW?pg=personal&px=5816464&fr_id=164588 to donate toward our team and help battle childhood cancer. Are you an Edwin or a John? Edwin was one of the most famous actors of his time— having played in many Shakespearean plays and others in the Washington DC area. He was a face almost everyone would recognize. As he was waiting for a train he noticed that a young man fell into the space between the train and the walkway they were standing on—just as the train began to move. It would have surely crushed the young man, whose name was Robert.

What Does Your Footprint Look Like?
Welcome in to the Friday Refresh brought to you by our St. Jude Marathon Weekend Run. I’ve almost reached my goal of $4000 but still have a few hundred to raise. I would love your help. Go to Benandtravis.com for more details. If you have every been into hiking or camping you have probably heard the phrase “leaving your footprint” — and its generally not about what the sole of your boot or tennis shoe looks like. In that context it is usually in reference to what you leave behind when you have gone through a place. Leaving your footprint is not always considered to be a positive thing in the camping and hiking world. A common phrase might be “take only pictures, leave only footprints” but more modern ethics encourage leaving as few footprints as possible. Pack out what you bring in and avoid altering the landscape through your travel and stay.
