Podcasts about Accept

This episode explores the enduring legacy of a water feature designed and constructed by Eric Triplett for his friend Shad Dixon twenty-five years ago. While many homeowners initially install ponds for aesthetic beauty or relaxation, the conversation reveals how these aquatic ecosystems become integral characters in a family's life story. Over two decades, the pond remained a constant through major life transitions, including raising children, navigating divorce, and eventually caring for an aging parent. Despite years of varying maintenance, the original equipment and koi have survived, proving the long-term value of quality craftsmanship. Key Takeaways: Invest in a permanent backyard focal point to create a lasting environment where your family's history and memories can grow over many years. Dedicate a specific area of your home to quiet reflection and nature, such as a pond or garden, to help manage the stresses of daily life. Accept that meaningful hobbies and property improvements require consistent work and maintenance to provide long-term emotional and aesthetic rewards. Encourage children to engage with the natural world through simple, unstructured play in a safe, outdoor aquatic setting. Prioritize quality craftsmanship and reliable materials in home projects to ensure your investments stand the test of time and remain functional through significant life transitions.

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differently. This one with Ben Uyeda is near the top of that list. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force of nature who left a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design ideas to the masses through media. His designs—widely shared, often free—have reached tens of millions of people and are being built around the world. And his most recent project? A 65-room hotel on 180 acres in the California desert, adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, built with a team but rooted in the same hands-on curiosity that started with a concrete vase on YouTube. When this episode first aired, I called it one of the most shocking conversations of the year—not because Ben tried to shock anyone, but because I didn't expect it to blow me away. It did. It still does. His superpower is orthogonal thinking. Where most of us see the world through the patterns we've been trained into, Ben keeps asking the next question—about scale, purpose, risk, money, mastery, and what creatives actually want when they say they want "more." This conversation changed how I think about career growth. I think it can change yours too. "Forget scaling. What I think is really intriguing is this idea of escalation." — Ben Uyeda Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself Ask Ben how he describes what he does, and he keeps it almost stubbornly simple: he designs things and he makes them. Those things range from a small concrete vase to a dining table to homes—and all the way up to Reset Hotel: 65 rooms on 180 acres near Joshua Tree. The leap sounds impossible until you understand his model. Most creatives, Ben argues, get trapped in a false choice. Either you're the solo maker—writing the book, building the table, running the photo shoot—or you're the manager of something massive, taking in everyone's opinions and slowly losing contact with the craft. He thinks the more interesting path sits between them: escalate. Scaling is repeating one thing at higher volume for better margins. Escalation is using each project as practice for a bigger adventure—vase to furniture to staircase to house to hotel—with new skills, collaborators, and risk at every step. There is no clean line from designing a vase to building a hotel. But there are incremental steps. In Ben's case, roughly five years from vase to house. Another five from house to hotel. Each jump maybe 50x to 100x in scale. The next project isn't the destination. It's skill-building—and an opportunity to meet the people you'll need when the economic risk gets larger. That distinction is the heart of this episode. And if you've ever chased "scale" when what you really wanted was growth, challenge, grit, relationships, and a life that still feels like yours, this one will hit hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Ben describes his work—from concrete vases to a desert hotel, and why he focuses on the doing Why small creative projects feel like Zen practice—and why bigger ones require learning to pass the ball The tension every creator knows: curiosity and economic safety often feel like they're pulling in opposite directions Scaling vs. escalating—and why most creatives think they want scale when they actually want challenge, skill, and connection The paperclip-to-house Craigslist story as a model for adventurous creative careers Why nature is becoming a luxury good—and how that thesis shaped Reset Hotel Ben's multi-year process for building a point of view: observations, post-its, journaling, and knowing when you're secure enough to ask bigger questions How to borrow pattern recognition from outside your field (Ben's favorite: food) What AI changes—and what it doesn't: reputation, responsibility, and embracing creative fear instead of waiting until you feel safe The story of Reset Hotel, Industry Night for creatives, and why physical immersion may be the next horizon Scale vs. Escalate This is the idea I keep coming back to—and the one that originally made this episode unforgettable. Typical entrepreneurial advice says: find a minimum viable product, then scale. For creatives, Ben says, that model often fails. Scaling optimizes for volume, repetition, and efficiency. Escalation optimizes for adventure: trade the paperclip for the lighter, the lighter for something bigger, and keep going—not by doing the same trade forever, but by graduating the game. Chase's own lived experience lines up with Ben's: escalation built the best things in his life—relationships, skills, grit, humanity. Scaling often decoupled him from those same things. That's the trap. People hear "economic upside" and chase repetition. What many of them actually want is escalating challenge—backstory, resources, personal development, network, connection—the exact texture of a project like building a hotel with your hands, your partners, and your reputation on the line. Ben didn't know this as sage wisdom going in. He learned it. Early ambition and big swings "worked," but felt like speedrunning a video game—fast completion with a strange emptiness afterward. Over time he learned something more useful about himself: his long-range visionary chess game is limited, but his commitment and belief once he chooses a path are incredibly strong. That self-knowledge became the architecture for taking on Reset. Nature as Luxury—and How a Hotel Got Built from a Thesis Ben's confidence in the hotel didn't come from a weekend of inspiration. It came from years of noticing. One signal: between roughly 2013 and 2016, monthly active users on Instagram and visits to national parks both exploded. The attention economy was booming—and simultaneously creating unprecedented demand for its opposite: walking through Yosemite or Joshua Tree, somewhere with little or no cell service. His larger thesis: as digital consumption becomes frictionless, we start craving the analog. The more algorithmically efficient our feeds get, the more we want to throw the phone aside, touch grass, hike, watch a real sunset. Because digital experiences got so good at being artificial, nature itself starts to feel like a scarce luxury—not just a pretty view from a coastal city, but immersive emptiness, dark skies, raw land. That thesis, plus an audience built by sharing design ideas, plus collaborators from craftspeople to investors, plus a shipping-container house project that opened new conversations—those pieces compounded into Reset. Ben is blunt that this kind of vision doesn't arrive as effortless brilliance. It's multi-year. Curious. Plodding. Built from obvious observations written on post-it notes until they start to arrange themselves into a next move. His practical advice for creatives trying to think at that altitude: Don't pour all your curiosity into tools and tactics alone. Also ask the scarier questions: What's my place in this discipline? What's my place in the broader economy? Earn enough security to think. For Ben, around $100k of income was the point where economic stress dropped enough for bigger questions to enter the process—not as luxury branding, but as creative fuel. Look outside your industry. Food is his favorite lens because he has emotional distance plus deep daily connection. Farm-to-table, farmers markets becoming aspirational, celebrities posting chickens instead of Bugattis—he's watching a backlash against efficiency and mass production. Then he asks: what's the design-and-craft version of that for me? Talk it out with peers. The work is often solo. The therapy and pattern recognition are better in community—ideally in person, without a competitive chip on your shoulder.

Risk, scale, and building a hotel with your bare hands 12:51 – Forget scaling: why escalation is the more interesting creative model 14:12 – From YouTube vase to 65-room hotel—and the skill (and people) built along the way 16:27 – Chase on the difference between escalating challenge and chasing scale 18:42 – Did Ben know this going in—or learn it the hard way? 21:09 – Instagram growth, national parks, and the demand for the analog 24:24 – Why nature is becoming a luxury good 27:31 – How to build a creative thesis over years (not a weekend) 39:27 – Cheat codes: borrow pattern recognition from food (and other industries) 49:00 – AI fear, reputation, responsibility, and what still can't be automated 57:30 – Reset Hotel: dark skies, building the right way, and the first new ground-up hotel in the area in 15 years 01:07:36 – Where to follow the project—and Industry Night for creatives Why This Conversation Still Matters If anything, this episode is more urgent now than when we first recorded it. The creator economy still rewards the idea that the goal is to make one thing and multiply it forever. Platforms still optimize for volume. AI is accelerating that pressure—making certain end products cheaper and more abundant, and making a lot of talented people scared. Ben's counsel isn't "don't worry." It's the opposite. Be scared. Talk to friends. Diversify your thinking. Double down on reputation and responsibility—being the person clients call because you fix problems, even when the brief is imperfect. Accept that fear doesn't vanish when you "make it." Often it gets worse, because you feel like you have more to lose. And that's the trap: postponing the wild, scary, purpose-shaped adventure until you feel safe. Safety delayed often becomes safety that never lets you move. Meanwhile, the deeper trend he named—digital ubiquity creating hunger for physical, immersive, scarce experiences—keeps compounding. Reset Hotel is that thesis made concrete. Industry Night—his informal peer-to-peer gathering for creatives—is another version of the same idea: horizontal connection in a culture that keeps selling top-down scale. Whether you escalate toward something as large as a hotel or simply toward a braver version of your next project, the question remains the same: are you chasing repetition, or are you chasing a life? Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Reset Hotel: stayreset.com · @reset.hotel Ben online: benuyeda.com · Instagram · HomeMade Modern on YouTube Earlier conversation: Escalate & Evolve: A Blueprint for Career and Life with Ben Uyeda Follow Ben: Instagram | Website | YouTube Questions to Reflect On Am I optimizing for scale (repeat one thing) or escalation (grow into bigger adventures)? What would my "next size up" project be—not 100x overnight, but one honest step beyond what I've already made? Where am I chasing economic certainty in a way that quietly starves my curiosity? What obvious cultural observation have I been noticing—and what would it mean if I took it seriously for my own work? Am I pouring all my curiosity into tools and tactics while avoiding the harder questions about my place in the economy? Where am I postponing a meaningful risk until I "feel safe"—and what might that delay really cost? In an age of AI and infinite digital content, what physical, scarce, or immersive experience could only come from me? The Core Idea Most creatives don't actually want to become a machine that repeats the same win forever. They want a life that escalates: bigger challenges, deeper skills, richer relationships, and work that still feels like craft even when the coordination gets complex. Ben's path—from free design ideas online to a modernist hotel on the edge of Joshua Tree—isn't a prescription to go build hospitality. It's a reminder that purpose compounds through projects. Each one prepares you for the next. Each one brings in the people you'll need later. And the goal isn't to arrive as fast as possible. It's to grow into someone who can hold more risk without abandoning who they are. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Don't confuse scaling with growing. The creative life you're probably hungry for is escalation—one braver project at a time.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:I want to share a special invitation with you. You may have heard that I will be releasing my first book with IVP on July 28, 2026. It's a big deal and I am so overwhelmed with God' goodness in allowing me to share such an essential message about delighting in Him as the true essential foundation for all our spiritual growth and maturing. Truly, when we delight in the Lord, He promises to give us the desires of our hearts – namely, more of Himself!So, here's the invitation. If you feel this message is indeed important, and you know people – including yourself perhaps – who need to be encouraged to awaken and cultivate their delight in God, would you consider joining my book launch team? It's a great and super easy way to share the good news of God's love for us in Christ, Jesus, our Lord.**If you're interested, please go to gospelspice.com/awakendelight and find the section about joining the launch team, or email me at contact@gospelspice.com **Together, let's encourage everyone we know with the wonderful news that, in Christ, God delights in us and invites us to delight in Him!Stephanie Rousselle welcomes returning guests Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock for a reflective and practical exploration of what it means to delight in God—especially in the ordinary and difficult seasons of life.Delighting in God is a daily discipline rooted in noticing, gratitude, humility, and relational engagement. Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock illustrate that wonder and joy can be found at “the molecular level” of life, as we learn to see reality with the eyes of heaven.Cultivating delight in God starts with intentional attention—slowing down to observe and appreciate even the small gifts in daily life. Andi Ashworth describes how, after a busy season promoting their book, she cultivated a new practice: sitting quietly in her small perennial garden, reading Scripture, praying, and simply noticing the details of creation—birdsong, blooming flowers, the work of bees. Over time, this intentional noticing awakened deeper gratitude and joy in the presence of God, even as life's hardships persisted.Delight is a daily practice, a choice to “step into reality” and seek God's presence even in suffering. This deliberate practice transforms pain into moments of worship and gratitude. Charlie Peacock shares that delight in God is not dependent on favorable circumstances or feelings of happiness. Suffering—including his chronic headache of nearly ten years—taught him to seek and experience God's presence regardless of pain. He emphasizes that true delight must be able to exist within difficulty, or it is not truly delight.Intimacy and delight with God are relational and participatory. God invites us to pursue Him, and as we do, He meets us. Sometimes we wait passively for God to manifest delight, and other times we strive to create it in our own strength. In reality, pursuing delight is a “dance”—God initiates and leads, but we must actively respond and show up, especially when delight seems elusive.Hardships, while unwelcome, often become ministers of grace, rooting us in humility and expanding our capacity for love and presence. Through chronic pain and other challenges, both Andi Ashworth and Charlie Peacock have experienced God's grace and a deepening humility. Charlie Peacock notes how his “thorn” limits self-reliance and ambition, drawing him toward greater dependence on Christ and shaping him into Christ's likeness. Andi Ashworth observes that their limitations have expanded their hearts and increased their compassion for others.Never outgrow asking your good Father for small joys. Delight in God blossoms in those who cultivate grateful, attentive hearts. Both guests encourage maintaining childlike wonder and gratitude—even for small blessings like a hot shower, a well-timed parking space, or serendipitous tickets to an event. These moments, prayed for and received as gifts, reinforce God's goodness and nearness.Practices to Foster DelightStart each day with gratitude for basic abilities and provisions.Notice small joys—in nature, family, daily routines—and thank God specifically.Pray about “matters of mutual concern”: what matters to God, matters to us.Accept and embrace limitations as invitations to deeper dependence and presence.Reflection question: What small gift might God be inviting you to notice—and delight in—today? MORE ABOUT "AWAKEN DELIGHT" BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

LESSON 200There Is No Peace Except The Peace Of God.Seek you no further. You will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak despair, and sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek for misery and pain.This is the final point to which each one must come at last, to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there is none; of being saved by what can only hurt; of making peace of chaos, joy of pain, and Heaven out of hell. Attempt no more to win through losing, nor to die to live. You cannot but be asking for defeat.Yet you can ask as easily for love, for happiness, and for eternal life in peace that has no ending. Ask for this, and you can only win. To ask for what you have already must succeed. To ask that what is false be true can only fail. Forgive yourself for vain imaginings, and seek no longer what you cannot find. For what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and seek again for hell, when you have but to look with open eyes to find that Heaven lies before you, through a door that opens easily to welcome you?Come home. You have not found your happiness in foreign places and in alien forms that have no meaning to you, though you sought to make them meaningful. This world is not where you belong. You are a stranger here. But it is given you to find the means whereby the world no longer seems to be a prison house or jail for anyone.Freedom is given you where you beheld but chains and iron doors. But you must change your mind about the purpose of the world, if you would find escape. You will be bound till all the world is seen by you as blessed, and everyone made free of your mistakes and honored as he is. You made him not; no more yourself. And as you free the one, the other is accepted as he is.What does forgiveness do? In truth it has no function, and does nothing. For it is unknown in Heaven. It is only hell where it is needed, and where it must serve a mighty function. Is not the escape of God's beloved Son from evil dreams that he imagines, yet believes are true, a worthy purpose? Who could hope for more, while there appears to be a choice to make between success and failure; love and fear?There is no peace except the peace of God, because He has one Son who cannot make a world in opposition to God's Will and to his own, which is the same as His. What could he hope to find in such a world? It cannot have reality, because it never was created. Is it here that he would seek for peace? Or must he see that, as he looks on it, the world can but deceive? Yet can he learn to look on it another way, and find the peace of God.Peace is the bridge that everyone will cross, to leave this world behind. But peace begins within the world perceived as different, and leading from this fresh perception to the gate of Heaven and the way beyond. Peace is the answer to conflicting goals, to senseless journeys, frantic, vain pursuits, and meaningless endeavors. Now the way is easy, sloping gently toward the bridge where freedom lies within the peace of God.Let us not lose our way again today. We go to Heaven, and the path is straight. Only if we attempt to wander can there be delay, and needless wasted time on thorny byways. God alone is sure, and He will guide our footsteps. He will not desert His Son in need, nor let him stray forever from his home. The Father calls; the Son will hear. And that is all there is to what appears to be a world apart from God, where bodies have reality.Now is there silence. Seek no further. You have come to where the road is carpeted with leaves of false desires, fallen from the trees of hopelessness you sought before. Now are they underfoot. And you look up and on toward Heaven, with the body's eyes but serving for an instant longer now. Peace is already recognized at last, and you can feel its soft embrace surround your heart and mind with comfort and with love.Today we seek no idols. Peace can not be found in them. The peace of God is ours, and only this will we accept and want. Peace be to us today. For we have found a simple, happy way to leave the world of ambiguity, and to replace our shifting goals and solitary dreams with single purpose and companionship. For peace is union, if it be of God. We seek no further. We are close to home, and draw still nearer every time we say:There is no peace except the peace of God,And I am glad and thankful it is so.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 199I Am Not A Body, I Am Free.Freedom must be impossible as long as you perceive a body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for freedom in a body looks for it where it can not be found. The mind can be made free when it no longer sees itself as in a body, firmly tied to it and sheltered by its presence. If this were the truth, the mind were vulnerable indeed!The mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind, because it has been given to the Source of love, and fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to love. It rests in God. And who can be afraid who lives in Innocence, and only loves?It is essential for your progress in this course that you accept today's idea, and hold it very dear. Be not concerned that to the ego it is quite insane. The ego holds the body dear because it dwells in it, and lives united with the home that it has made. It is a part of the illusion that has sheltered it from being found illusory itself.Here does it hide, and here it can be seen as what it is. Declare your innocence and you are free. The body disappears, because you have no need of it except the need the Holy Spirit sees. For this, the body will appear as useful form for what the mind must do. It thus becomes a vehicle which helps forgiveness be extended to the all-inclusive goal that it must reach, according to God's plan.Cherish today's idea, and practice it today and every day. Make it a part of every practice period you take. There is no thought that will not gain thereby in power to help the world, and none which will not gain in added gifts to you as well. We sound the call of freedom round the world with this idea. And would you be exempt from the acceptance of the gifts you give?The Holy Spirit is the home of minds that seek for freedom. In Him they have found what they have sought. The body's purpose now is unambiguous. And it becomes perfect in the ability to serve an undivided goal. In conflict-free and unequivocal response to mind with but the thought of freedom as its goal, the body serves, and serves its purpose well. Without the power to enslave, it is a worthy servant of the freedom which the mind within the Holy Spirit seeks.Be free today. And carry freedom as your gift to those who still believe they are enslaved within a body. Be you free, so that the Holy Spirit can make use of your escape from bondage, to set free the many who perceive themselves as bound and helpless and afraid. Let love replace their fears through you. Accept salvation now, and give your mind to Him Who calls to you to make this gift to Him. For He would give you perfect freedom, perfect joy, and hope that finds its full accomplishment in God.You are God's Son. In immortality you live forever. Would you not return your mind to this? Then practice well the thought the Holy Spirit gives you for today. Your brothers stand released with you in it; the world is blessed along with you, God's Son will weep no more, and Heaven offers thanks for the increase of joy your practice brings even to it. And God Himself extends His Love and happiness each time you say:I am not a body. I am free.I hear the Voice That God has given me,And it is only This my mind obeys.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

LESSON 198Only My Condemnation Injures Me.Injury is impossible. And yet illusion makes illusion. If you can condemn, you can be injured. For you have believed that you can injure, and the right you have established for yourself can be now used against you, till you lay it down as valueless, unwanted and unreal. Then does illusion cease to have effects, and those it seemed to have will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you can now receive the gift you gave.Condemn and you are made a prisoner. Forgive and you are freed. Such is the law that rules perception. It is not a law that knowledge understands, for freedom is a part of knowledge. To condemn is thus impossible in truth. What seems to be its influence and its effects have not occurred at all. Yet must we deal with them a while as if they had. Illusion makes illusion. Except one. Forgiveness is illusion that is answer to the rest.Forgiveness sweeps all other dreams away, and though it is itself a dream, it breeds no others. All illusions save this one must multiply a thousandfold. But this is where illusions end. Forgiveness is the end of dreams, because it is a dream of waking. It is not itself the truth. Yet does it point to where the truth must be, and gives direction with the certainty of God Himself. It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father, knowing They are one.Forgiveness is the only road that leads out of disaster, past all suffering, and finally away from death. How could there be another way, when this one is the plan of God Himself? And why would you oppose it, quarrel with it, seek to find a thousand ways in which it must be wrong; a thousand other possibilities?Is it not wiser to be glad you hold the answer to your problems in your hand? Is it not more intelligent to thank the One Who gives salvation, and accept His gift with gratitude? And is it not a kindness to yourself to hear His Voice and learn the simple lessons He would teach, instead of trying to dismiss His words, and substitute your own in place of His?His words will work. His words will save. His words contain all hope, all blessing and all joy that ever can be found upon this earth. His words are born in God, and come to you with Heaven's love upon them. Those who hear His words have heard the song of Heaven.For these are the words in which all merge as one at last. And as this one will fade away, the Word of God will come to take its place, for it will be remembered then and loved.This world has many seeming separate haunts where mercy has no meaning, and attack appears as justified. Yet all are one; a place where death is offered to God's Son and to his Father. You may think They have accepted. But if you will look again upon the place where you beheld Their blood, you will perceive a miracle instead. How foolish to believe that They could die! How foolish to believe you can attack! How mad to think that you could be condemned, and that the holy Son of God can die!The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need forgiveness. Dreams of any kind are strange and alien to the truth. And what but truth could have a Thought which builds a bridge to it that brings illusions to the other side?Today we practice letting freedom come to make its home with you. The truth bestows these words upon your mind, that you may find the key to light and let the darkness end:Only my condemnation injures me.Only my own forgiveness sets me free.Do not forget today that there can be no form of suffering that fails to hide an unforgiving thought. Nor can there be a form of pain forgiveness cannot heal.Accept the one illusion which proclaims there is no condemnation in God's Son, and Heaven is remembered instantly; the world forgotten, all its weird beliefs forgotten with it, as the face of Christ appears unveiled at last in this one dream. This is the gift the Holy Spirit holds for you from God your Father. Let today be celebrated both on earth and in your holy home as well. Be kind to both, as you forgive the trespasses you thought them guilty of, and see your innocence shining upon you from the face of Christ.Now is there silence all around the world. Now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense. Now is there tranquil light across the face of earth, made quiet in a dreamless sleep. And now the Word of God alone remains upon it. Only that can be perceived an instant longer. Then are symbols done, and everything you ever thought you made completely vanished from the mind that God forever knows to be His only Son.There is no condemnation in him. He is perfect in his holiness. He needs no thoughts of mercy. Who could give him gifts when everything is his? And who could dream of offering forgiveness to the Son of Sinlessness Itself, so like to Him Whose Son he is, that to behold the Son is to perceive no more, and only know the Father? In this vision of the Son, so brief that not an instant stands between this single sight and timelessness itself, you see the vision of yourself, and then you disappear forever into God.Today we come still nearer to the end of everything that yet would stand between this vision and our sight. And we are glad that we have come this far, and recognize that He Who brought us here will not forsake us now. For He would give to us the gift that God has given us through Him today. Now is the time for your deliverance. The time has come. The time has come today.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Trump just put Iran on notice again. The U.S. military has launched a new wave of strikes today, and Trump is warning that power plants and bridges could be knocked out next week unless the regime makes a deal. Iran has spent years testing American resolve by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz and backing attacks on our allies and shipping lanes. Weakness and endless talks only encouraged more aggression. Now we're seeing real pressure in action — nightly airstrikes, a naval blockade, and a clear ultimatum on critical infrastructure. Trump's strategy is straightforward: degrade Iran's military capabilities first, then hold the country's power grid and bridges at risk to force negotiations from strength. This isn't about regime change or sending in ground troops. It's about protecting the free flow of commerce and showing adversaries that America means business when our core interests are threatened.

With waging wars and Church division, will we accept Heaven's remedy?

Learning to Accept the Lord's Consequences by Autumn Dickson For a few weeks, two of my kids were really struggling. They would fly off the handle at little provocations. I would ask them to do things, and they would throw a fit (or throw other things). It was beyond normal kid misbehavior. I still don't know whether it was a phase or something going on at school. I tried hard to figure it out, but couldn't. After trying to connect with them first, we ended up just spending a lot of time in our rooms. If they made my home miserable, they were going to spend time in their room. My normal philosophy is that as soon as they are truly repentant, they can come out. As soon as their ready to be part of the family, they can come join the family. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be cutting it. So we spent extra time in our rooms for just a couple of days. Some days, they would spend the whole afternoon into the evening in their rooms, and I would bring them dinner. There was one day where Warner tried talking to me through the door. He asked me, “Mom why are you being so mean? I'm sorry. Can I come out?” I had let him out previously, and we ended up exactly where we were within minutes. So he stayed. There are a lot of moments in parenting where you question whether you're getting it right. This was definitely one of those times. I didn't know what my kids needed in order to turn themselves around and choose happiness, but I had exhausted other options so we were trying this one. The spirit was super kind and as I walked away from their doors, a verse was brought to mind. In Mosiah 21, we learn that the Lord was slow to hear the cries of His people because of their iniquities. The Lord is perfectly loving, and He made a perfectly appropriate choice to be slow in responding to their cries. Sometimes we need to sit with the discomfort a little bit longer in order for the lesson to sink in. After a couple days of this torture (for them and for me), we finally started controlling our tempers and choices again. My home isn't perfect, but it's definitely more peaceful than it was for those couple of weeks. This week in the Old Testament, we read about some people who found themselves in similar situations. I want to specifically talk about Zedekiah. I want to tell Zedekiah's story. Many of the details are actually found in the book of Jeremiah who was the prophet at the time of Zedekiah. At this point in our timeline, the southern kingdom of Judah has been conquered by Babylon. Babylon puts Zedekiah in as a puppet king. Zedekiah swears an oath of loyalty to Babylon. Zedekiah reigns for a total period of 11 years. Around year 9, he starts rebelling against Babylon. He stops paying tribute and seeks help from Egypt. Most importantly, he ignores warnings from the prophet, Jeremiah. Over and over and over and over, Jeremiah warns Zedekiah to bow down to Babylon. Zedekiah receives a very clear warning: submit or the city will be destroyed. Egypt will not save you. Unfortunately, Zedekiah believes Jeremiah, but he keeps rebelling against Babylon anyway. He pays the price for it. 2 Kings 25:6-7 6 So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him. 7 And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon. Zedekiah's sons were killed, and he was blinded. The principle I want to teach in this post requires highlighting a very specific fact: Judah's subservience to Babylon was a direct result of breaking their covenants. Judah needed to repent, and the Lord sent Babylon to help them do it. Apparently, their repentance process was not quite over. The Lord was slow to hear their cries. They were not going to be immediately delivered from consequences because the Lord knew what they truly needed. Judah was unimpressed with the Lord's choices, rebelled against their consequences, and found even deeper consequences. Sometimes when we've found ourselves entrenched in the consequences of sin, we bristle against it. We get tired and want to throw it off. We believe that surely, we've repented enough. We can move on. We can do what we want again. We don't want to deal with the pain or humiliation anymore. I think of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies who almost broke their covenant and went back into battle. I think of the consequences of addiction and the continuous maintenance of keeping yourself clean. I think of people who believe it's easier to walk away from the church completely than to try and keep working towards worthiness. We rebel. We find consequences so that the Lord can soften our hearts and reach us. We are annoyed by the consequences, and we find ourselves in deeper trouble than before. We blame the Lord instead of recognizing His desire to help us step in a better direction. The kingdom of Judah hated being a vassal state of Babylon. The leaders and priests found it humiliating and degrading. They did not want their consequences anymore, and it cost them dearly. Consequences are not fun, but they are there for a reason. The Lord doesn't hand out consequences generously to uphold His own control. No, the Lord gives them out as necessary to get us to turn our hearts around. Consequences are a gift and bristling underneath them only drags out the pain further. It doesn't necessarily make the consequence longer, but it does drag out the pain. Let me explain what I mean by that. Think of the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They were about to break their pacifist covenants when they saw the Nephites suffering on their behalf. The consequences of their past violence was that they needed to keep their “swords bright.” They couldn't stain them with blood again. The Anti-Nephi-Lehies had changed hearts. They were hurting for their Nephite brothers. The consequences were too much to bear. And then I can imagine that it only got worse when their young sons volunteered to go in their place. Can you imagine the grief that filled their hearts? Can you imagine the regret they felt over past actions that kept them from defending their sons? The consequences were REAL. But they accepted the consequences and let their sons go. And because this is the gospel of Jesus Christ, we get a happy ending. The sons were all protected. They performed miracles. They made their fathers and mothers proud. And what's more? They probably developed an intense testimony because of their experiences. The fathers submitted to the consequences of their actions and because of the atonement of Jesus Christ, their submission to the ongoing repentance process became a blessing to them and their families. Any pain they might have felt at sending their boys off surely paled in comparison to the joy they felt at watching their sons come home as incredible, powerful, spiritually gigantic men. Zedekiah bucked against his consequences, and in doing so, told the Lord that he still needed his consequences. He hadn't learned anything yet. Consequences are not fun, but I testify that they are signs and reminders of the love of our Father in Heaven. He wants us to be better because that is the only way to be happier. I testify that the sooner we submit to whatever lessons the Lord is trying to teach us, the sooner we find hope and peace (regardless of whether the lesson continues on). I testify that even if we have to carry consequences the rest of our lives, it is not a sign that the Lord has rejected you. Be patient and submit to what the Lord sent.

LESSON 194I Place The Future In The Hands Of God.Today's idea takes another step toward quick salvation, and a giant stride it is indeed! So great the distance is that it encompasses, it sets you down just short of Heaven, with the goal in sight and obstacles behind. Your foot has reached the lawns that welcome you to Heaven's gate; the quiet place of peace, where you await with certainty the final step of God. How far are we progressing now from earth! How close are we approaching to our goal! How short the journey still to be pursued!Accept today's idea, and you have passed all anxiety, all pits of hell, all blackness of depression, thoughts of sin, and devastation brought about by guilt. Accept today's idea, and you have released the world from all imprisonment by loosening the heavy chains that locked the door to freedom on it. You are saved, and your salvation thus becomes the gift you give the world, because you have received.In no one instant is depression felt, or pain experienced or loss perceived. In no one instant sorrow can be set upon a throne, and worshipped faithfully. In no one instant can one even die. And so each instant given unto God in passing, with the next one given Him already, is a time of your release from sadness, pain and even death itself.God holds your future as He holds your past and present. They are one to Him, and so they should be one to you. Yet in this world, the temporal progression still seems real. And so you are not asked to understand the lack of sequence really found in time. You are but asked to let the future go, and place it in God's Hands. And you will see by your experience that you have laid the past and present in His Hands as well, because the past will punish you no more, and future dread will now be meaningless.Release the future. For the past is gone, and what is present, freed from its bequest of grief and misery, of pain and loss, becomes the instant in which time escapes the bondage of illusions where it runs its pitiless, inevitable course. Then is each instant which was slave to time transformed into a holy instant, when the light that was kept hidden in God's Son is freed to bless the world. Now is he free, and all his glory shines upon a world made free with him, to share his holiness.If you can see the lesson for today as the deliverance it really is, you will not hesitate to give as much consistent effort as you can, to make it be a part of you. As it becomes a thought that rules your mind, a habit in your problem-solving repertoire, a way of quick reaction to temptation, you extend your learning to the world. And as you learn to see salvation in all things, so will the world perceive that it is saved.What worry can beset the one who gives his future to the loving Hands of God? What can he suffer? What can cause him pain, or bring experience of loss to him? What can he fear? And what can he regard except with love? For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his way to present peace, and certainty of care the world can never threaten. He is sure that his perception may be faulty, but will never lack correction. He is free to choose again when he has been deceived; to change his mind when he has made mistakes.Place, then, your future in the Hands of God. For thus you call the memory of Him to come again, replacing all your thoughts of sin and evil with the truth of love. Think you the world could fail to gain thereby, and every living creature not respond with healed perception? Who entrusts himself to God has also placed the world within the Hands to which he has himself appealed for comfort and security. He lays aside the sick illusions of the world along with his, and offers peace to both.Now are we saved indeed. For in God's Hands we rest untroubled, sure that only good can come to us. If we forget, we will be gently reassured. If we accept an unforgiving thought, it will be soon replaced by love's reflection. And if we are tempted to attack, we will appeal to Him Who guards our rest to make the choice for us that leaves temptation far behind. No longer is the world our enemy, for we have chosen that we be its Friend.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

You did the work. You had the hard conversation. You acknowledged the hurt. You apologized — more than once. And you meant it.But no matter what you do, it is not enough. The wound keeps coming back up. The tension keeps showing up at the table. And the relationship stays frozen in a moment that happened years ago — a moment that has now become the defining story of how this person sees you.In this episode of Just Nona, I am answering one of the most layered heart questions this show has received. A listener is navigating a seven-year relational wound with her family member — a wound that began when her family member came out at 16 and she asked a question that came directly from her own trauma history. The question landed as rejection. She has apologized twice. They have talked three times. And the hurt keeps returning — while her husband absorbs the tension in the middle.This is not a simple conflict. It is a layered wound with multiple origins. And it deserves an honest, careful answer.We talk about:Why a sincere apology cannot always reach the root of a layered wound — and what that means for your responsibilityThe critical difference between guilt and ongoing responsibility — and why staying in indefinite guilt helps no one healHow unresolved relational conflict quietly distorts the identity of everyone involvedWhat Romans 12:18 actually says about the conditions for peace — and the permission it gives you when peace is not being receivedThe difference between a peacemaker and a peacekeeper — and why one sustains you and the other slowly drains youWhat faithfulness looks like in a stalled reconciliation — and what you are and are not responsible for at this pointAnd the conversation that may still need to happen — not another apology, but an honest adult reckoning with the current dynamicYou cannot complete someone else's healing. You can only steward your side of the relationship with honesty, dignity, and grace.Order my books at:https://www.nonajones.com/booksConnect with me:https://www.nonajones.comhttps://www.instagram.com/nonanotnorahttps://www.facebook.com/NonaNotNoraIf you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please reach out.

Welcome to Day 2902 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2902 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 141:1-10 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2902 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2902 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Incense of the Heart – Standing Guard at the Gates of the Soul On our last trek together, as we climbed through the rugged terrain of Psalm One Hundred Forty, we witnessed David standing in the celestial courtroom of the Almighty, pleading for protection against violent adversaries. We felt the stinging spray of their serpentine words, and we saw the hidden nets they spread along his path. Today, we step directly onto a contiguous trail as we enter Psalm One Hundred Forty-One, verses one through ten. This psalm serves as a profound, beautiful companion piece to our previous study. But as we look closely at the landscape of this new passage, we notice a fascinating, highly critical shift in David's focus. In the previous psalm, he was primarily concerned with the external weapons of his enemies, but now, in Psalm One Hundred Forty-One, David turns his vision inward. He recognizes a sobering spiritual truth that every wise trekker must eventually master: the greatest danger we face in times of heavy crisis is not just what our enemies might do to us, but what the crisis itself might cause us to do, or say, in return. David realizes that under the pressure of hostility, his own heart, his own mouth, and his own appetites could easily betray him, causing him to blend into the very wickedness he is fighting against. The first segment is: The Cosmic Incense: Elevating Prayer to the Heavenly Throne Room Let us listen to the opening movements of this beautiful prayer, where David combines his urgent thoughts in verse one and verse two, establishing his focal point in the heavenly realm. O Lord, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen to me when I cry to you for help. Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering. David begins with an intense, breathless plea, crying out, “O Lord, I am calling to you. Please hurry! Listen to me when I cry to you for help.” But then, notice how he frames the spiritual mechanics of his communication, praying, “Accept my prayer as incense offered to you, and my upraised hands as an evening offering.” To fully grasp the magnitude of this imagery, we must look at it through the ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. When David lifts his hands and asks for his prayers to be received as incense, he is not just using pretty, poetic metaphors. He is operating with a deep understanding of the cosmic temple. In ancient Israel, the earthly tabernacle, and later the temple, were designed as physical copies of Yahweh's heavenly palace. In that heavenly throne room, the Sovereign King sits enthroned, surrounded by His holy council of angelic beings. The burning of holy incense on the earthly altar represented the sweet-smelling cloud of praise and intercession that continuously rises before the true, cosmic throne. David, quite possibly cut off from the physical tabernacle while fleeing for his life in the wilderness, realizes something spectacular. Even without an earthly altar, or a physical priesthood, his authentic, desperate cry for help can bypass earthly structures entirely. By the power of faith, his spoken words become spiritual incense, rising directly into the celestial assembly. When he lifts his hands, he is presenting his very body as the evening sacrifice. He is appealing directly to the ultimate Supreme Court of the universe, asking the Great Suzerain to pay immediate attention to his case, because the spiritual pressure around him has reached a critical, breaking point. The second segment is: Guarding the Gates: The Battle for Words and Appetites With his eyes firmly fixed on the heavenly King, David immediately launches into an incredible, defensive prayer for his own soul, grouping together the deep insights found in verse three and verse four. Take control of my mouth, O Lord, and guard my lips. Don't let me drift toward evil or take part in wicked deeds. Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do evil. Here, David prays a prayer of profound humility, saying, “Take control of my mouth, O Lord, and guard my lips. Don't let me drift toward evil or take part in wicked deeds. Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do evil.” This is a stunning moment of vulnerability for a warrior king. David looks at the wicked people who are surrounding him, and he does not just see a political or physical threat; he sees a highly contagious spiritual disease. He knows that when we are constantly surrounded by gaslighting, lying, and malicious slander, our natural, human instinct is to strike back using those exact same low-level tactics. We want to retaliate with bitter, venomous speech. Therefore, David asks Yahweh to place a divine sentinel, a heavenly guard, over his lips. He understands that if he loses control of his tongue, he opens the gates of his soul to the forces of chaos. Furthermore, David pleads, “Don't let me share in the delicacies of those who do evil.” In the ancient Near East, eating at someone's table was a profound act of covenant fellowship and alignment. The “delicacies” of the wicked represent the material wealth, the social status, and the temporary, luxurious benefits that come from participating in corrupt, systemic evil. In the divine-council context, partaking in these wicked feasts was often associated with honoring rival spiritual powers and bowing to the cultural idols of compromise. David is begging God for the spiritual discipline to refuse the attractive, comfortable bribes of the enemy, choosing instead the rugged path of righteousness, even if it means experiencing physical deprivation in the wilderness. The third segment is: The Healing Wound: Choosing Righteous Rebuke Over Wicked Fellowship The narrative of David's internal defense takes an extraordinary turn in verse five, as he contrasts the dangerous flattery of the wicked with the painful, yet life-giving correction of the righteous. Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness. If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don't let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked deeds of evil people. David makes a remarkable declaration, stating, “Let the godly strike me! It will be a kindness. If they correct me, it is soothing medicine. Don't let me refuse it. But I pray constantly against the wicked deeds of evil people.” This verse contains a massive chunk of wisdom for our daily trek of life. David recognizes that if he is going to stay on the path of integrity, he desperately needs accountability. He would much rather receive a harsh, painful, face-to-face correction from a godly person who loves his soul, than to sit at a luxurious table receiving the smooth, deceptive flattery of the wicked. He calls godly rebuke “soothing medicine,” or anointing oil for the head. It might sting at first, but its ultimate purpose is to heal, restore, and protect. The proud adversaries who are trying to destroy David believe they are completely above accountability. They surround themselves only with yes-men who applaud their wickedness. But David, aligning himself with the wisdom of Yahweh's kingdom, opens his heart to correction. Even as he remains completely open to being corrected by the righteous, his stance against cosmic and human evil remains totally uncompromising. He concludes this thought by noting that his life is locked in continuous, unceasing prayer against the destructive, wicked deeds of those who have rejected the ways of the Most High. The fourth segment is: The Overthrow of Tyrants: Justice at the Mouth of Sheol The narrative now shifts outward once again, as David looks ahead to the ultimate, inescapable fate of those corrupt leaders who refuse to repent, blending his thoughts in verse six and verse seven. When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, they will listen to my words and find them true. Like rocks that are split and shattered, the bones of the wicked lie scattered at the mouth of the grave. David looks into the future of cosmic justice, declaring, “When their leaders are thrown down from a cliff, they will listen to my words and find them true. Like rocks that are split and shattered, the bones of the wicked lie scattered at the mouth of the grave.”...

I'm sharing what pulled me out of isolation, what grief actually taught me about loving myself, and the one question I need you to sit with if you're the one everybody calls strong.IN THIS EPISODE:➡️ Why building enough success can become proof you're trying to hand someone else, instead of proof for you➡️ What it really looks like when the "strong friend" is quietly falling apart, and why she chooses isolation nine times out of ten➡️ The invitation you keep turning down, and who's still waiting for you to accept it➡️ Why grief is a shedding process, and what it stripped away so the truest version of me could show up➡️ Redefining success: what you build out of survival versus what you build out of self-loveSELF LOVE 2-STEP REMIX:Stop performing fine for people who only want the version of you that doesn't need anything. No shade, no shame, no judgment for however long you mastered that performance. Get honest about who you're actually safe with.Accept the invitation you keep turning down. Let someone carry something for once. That's not weakness, that's how the world finally gets to love you back.The YOU Step: get still, get quiet, and ask your heart what it's telling you to do next.

Most traders spend years searching for the "perfect" strategy. But what happens when two consistently profitable traders—each with completely different beliefs about how markets move—sit down for a face-to-face debate? In this fascinating conversation, Humble Trader defends the ICT philosophy that markets move according to an algorithm targeting liquidity, while Paul Scott, a former institutional trader, argues that markets are driven by real order flow, human decision-making, and institutional value—not a hidden algorithm. Together, they challenge each other's assumptions on market structure, liquidity, sniper entries, risk management, psychology, patience, and what it really takes to become consistently profitable. Whether you trade ICT, price action, or institutional concepts, this discussion offers valuable insights into how elite traders think, manage losses, and build unwavering confidence in their edge. Humble Trader's LinkTikTok Paul Scott's LinkWebsite Podcast Interview Paul Scott's and Humble Trader's Trading Strategies Key Lessons [03:11] "News events don't mean the market algorithm stops working. They're simply part of how price is delivered to liquidity targets." - Humble Trader [04:17] "Execution algorithms used by banks are different from the idea that one giant algorithm controls the market. Banks turn execution algorithms off during major news because they can't think for themselves and can amplify volatility." - Paul Scott [06:06] "The market itself is what follows an algorithm. Even if banks stop their execution algorithms, price continues to move. That's why it's possible to anticipate liquidity targets and where price may reverse." - Humble Trader [08:16] "You can never know whether the market will go up or down. Let the market show its hand before entering a trade." - Paul Scott [09:39] "Backtest your approach as far back as your charts allow. Confidence comes from seeing that your strategy has worked over many years of historical data." - Humble Trader [12:34] "Trade from price, not from timeframes. Price is the same whether you're looking at a monthly chart or a one-minute chart." - Paul Scott [14:46] "Finish your trading early if possible. Make your money, manage your trade, and spend the rest of your day enjoying life with your family." - Humble Trader [16:11] "Patience is essential. Mark your levels beforehand, set alerts, and only trade when price reaches your predetermined area." - Paul Scott [17:17] "Prepare before the market opens. Know where price is likely to go, follow your checklist, remain patient, stay disciplined, and wait for your setup." - Humble Trader [18:40] "Wait for confirmation. Let the market reveal its intention before joining the move." - Humble Trader [20:33] "Stop strategy hopping. Find a method that fits you and master it instead of constantly searching for a better strategy." - Humble Trader [23:39] "Accept that losses are inevitable. Reduce your position size after a loss, wait patiently for the next quality setup, and avoid emotional trading." - Humble Trader [25:32] "Don't take losses personally. Trading is a business. Sometimes the market gives you money, and sometimes it takes some back." - Paul Scott [25:48] "If you get stopped out at the same level multiple times, stop trading that level and wait for the next opportunity." - Paul Scott [30:29] "After every trade, study why price reacted where it did. Ask yourself what you missed, whether it was liquidity, imbalance, or another market structure clue, so your execution improves over time." - Humble Trader

Read OnlineChosen and SentJesus summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness. The names of the Twelve Apostles are these… Matthew 10:1–2Imagine being one of the Twelve. When each of them first encountered our Lord, he could never have imagined what would unfold. Eleven of them would become the foundation upon which the Messiah built His Church. Their words and actions have been recorded and proclaimed throughout the world and will continue to be until the end of time. By God's will, they preached far and wide with divine authority. They celebrated the Holy Eucharist, transforming mere bread and wine into the Most Holy Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of the Lamb of God. Through the laying on of hands, they imparted the Holy Spirit in fullness. They worked miracles in Jesus' name, and most of them bore final witness to Christ by the shedding of their blood.The reason their lives were so fruitful for God's Kingdom is because they were chosen and sent by the Son of God. It was not their idea. They didn't construct their own plan for eternal salvation. They did not map out their futures and execute a vision according to their own will. Instead, they felt the gravity of the mission for which they were chosen and acted when sent by the Savior. Their obedience to the divine will opened the floodgates of Divine Mercy, and grace poured forth upon the world.When you consider your own life, what are your goals and ambitions? What plans have you made for the future? If we want to imitate the fruitfulness of the Apostles, then we are invited to discern for what God has chosen us and to be prepared to respond with generous obedience when He sends us.It's easy to come up with our own plans in life. We might want to save up money, succeed at work, have a family, form friendships, retire at a certain age, and enjoy many good things. Though all these can be good and might well be part of God's plan, we must not presume upon His will. With humility, we must continually seek His guidance, remain open to His promptings, and surrender our plans to the providence of the One who knows what will truly bear fruit for eternity.Reflecting on the radical change of life to which Jesus called the Twelve invites us to consider whether Jesus also desires a radical change in our own lives. Certainly, some aspects of our lives are good and holy. If married with children, God's will surely includes loving and caring for one's family. Within every vocation, however, there are ways in which we might be called to a new depth of conversion—a radical life of loving, serving, and building the Kingdom of God in ways we never imagined possible.By analogy, consider a person living in poverty who suddenly wins the largest lottery in history. Imagine, further, that the person is quite worldly. Such a fortune would radically change the direction of that person's life—likely not for the better.Though God does not promise us a material fortune, He desires to bestow upon us supernatural treasure of infinitely greater value. His Mercy is abundant—described by the saints as an ocean, vast and unfathomable, waiting to be poured out in its fullness upon all of creation. Through prayer and conversion, we open the floodgates, and God begins lavishing upon us the priceless treasure of grace. When this happens, our lives change—because God chooses us and then sends us on ever new and glorious missions.Reflect today on the spiritual truth that God has chosen you for some holy and sacred mission. It might not be glorious in the eyes of the world, but it will be glorious in Heaven. Be open. Beg for His grace. Accept your mission. Go wherever He sends you, knowing that you cannot, now, fathom all that God has in store for you. Most glorious God, You have chosen me for some definite purpose. You have called me by name and desire to send me forth to build up Your Kingdom on earth. I accept my calling and open myself to the abundance of grace You wish to bestow so that I may fulfill Your perfect will, doing unfathomable good for Your Kingdom to come. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Twelve apostles in church Chiesa di San Dalmazzo, by Enrico ReffoSource: Free RSS feed from divinemercy.life — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Ken and Anthony debate a wild scenario floated on Kevin O'Connor's show: that Draymond Green could follow LeBron wherever he signs, forcing Cavs fans to decide whether they'd welcome a longtime villain who they believe cost Cleveland a championship. Despite Draymond being a shell of his offensive self, the hosts argue his toughness, edge, and willingness to get in teammates' faces could be exactly what a Cavs team widely viewed as "soft" needs, with rapid-fire caller polling confirming most fans agree. They weigh whether Jarrett Allen, not Draymond, would actually be the odd man out given his defensive limitations, and whether adding Draymond could ironically improve floor spacing for Harden, Mitchell, Mobley and LeBron. The segment closes with Ken and Lima agreeing they'd have never predicted Draymond as a real Cavaliers possibility but are now open to it if it means bringing LeBron home.

LESSON 187I Bless The World Because I Bless Myself.No one can give unless he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this point before. What seems to make it hard to credit is not this. No one can doubt that you must first possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess.How is this possible? For it is sure that if you give a finite thing away, your body's eyes will not perceive it yours. Yet we have learned that things but represent the thoughts that make them. And you do not lack for proof that when you give ideas away, you strengthen them in your own mind. Perhaps the form in which the thought seems to appear is changed in giving. Yet it must return to him who gives. Nor can the form it takes be less acceptable. It must be more.Ideas must first belong to you, before you give them. If you are to save the world, you first accept salvation for yourself. But you will not believe that this is done until you see the miracles it brings to everyone you look upon. Herein is the idea of giving clarified and given meaning. Now you can perceive that by your giving is your store increased.Protect all things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. What you thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. Yet value not its form. For this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to keep it safe. No form endures. It is the thought behind the form of things that lives unchangeable.Give gladly. You can only gain thereby. The thought remains, and grows in strength as it is reinforced by giving. Thoughts extend as they are shared, for they can not be lost. There is no giver and receiver in the sense the world conceives of them. There is a giver who retains; another who will give as well. And both must gain in this exchange, for each will have the thought in form most helpful to him. What he seems to lose is always something he will value less than what will surely be returned to him.Never forget you give but to yourself. Who understands what giving means must laugh at the idea of sacrifice. Nor can he fail to recognize the many forms which sacrifice may take. He laughs as well at pain and loss, at sickness and at grief, at poverty, starvation and at death. He recognizes sacrifice remains the one idea that stands behind them all, and in his gentle laughter are they healed.Illusion recognized must disappear. Accept not suffering, and you remove the thought of suffering. Your blessing lies on everyone who suffers, when you choose to see all suffering as what it is. The thought of sacrifice gives rise to all the forms that suffering appears to take. And sacrifice is an idea so mad that sanity dismisses it at once.Never believe that you can sacrifice. There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value. If the thought occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen and correction must be made. Your blessing will correct it. Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.The lilies that your brother offers you are laid upon your altar, with the ones you offer him beside them. Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness? The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here. Be not afraid to look. The blessedness you will behold will take away all thought of form, and leave instead the perfect gift forever there, forever to increase, forever yours, forever given away.Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone. And here, before the altar to one God, one Father, one Creator and one Thought, we stand together as one Son of God. Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our one Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in blessedness, and give as we receive. The Name of God is on our lips. And as we look within, we see the purity of Heaven shine in our reflection of our Father's Love.Now are we blessed, and now we bless the world. What we have looked upon we would extend, for we would see it everywhere. We would behold it shining with the grace of God in everyone. We would not have it be withheld from anything we look upon. And to ensure this holy sight is ours, we offer it to everything we see. For where we see it, it will be returned to us in form of lilies we can lay upon our altar, making it a home for Innocence Itself, Who dwells in us and offers us His Holiness as ours.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

One of the harder truths of estrangement is coming to terms with the fact that your parent was not who you needed them to be and in many cases is not going to become that person. In this episode's Q&A, two questions circle that theme. First, a couple with two young children trying to integrate not one, but two sets of critical and unsupportive grandparents into their family. Second, a woman asks how to ever reach true acceptance when you're stuck between anger and still wanting them to be different.Whitney Goodman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and the founder of Calling Home, a membership community that helps people navigate complex family dynamics and break harmful cycles.Have a question for Whitney?
