In this inspiring episode of From Principles to Practice, Apostle Dr. Ivon Valerie returns with a powerful message on making your role in your community truly count. It’s not enough to show up or be a passive member—real impact requires intentional action and a commitment to elevate those around you.
Apostle Valerie explores the dangers of “comfortable membership” and challenges listeners to move from intentions to impact. He shares practical steps for identifying your unique contribution, the power of proactive participation, and the ripple effect your actions can have on those around you. Drawing from biblical principles and real-life stories, he highlights the importance of consistency, relationship investment, and offering solutions rather than complaints.
Whether you’re part of a church, a small group, or any other community, this episode will empower you to step into your God-given role with purpose and passion. Get ready to be challenged, inspired, and equipped to make a lasting difference.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
