“Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.” — Ecclesiastes 4:4Ecclesiastes shows us how even good work can go wrong when driven by envy. What starts as diligence can quickly become a pursuit of status. Today, we'll look at how chasing approval leaves us empty—and how God invites us into something much greater.The Idol of StatusThe Bible Project says Ecclesiastes “targets all the ways we try to build meaning and purpose in life apart from God.” It gives voice to the Preacher, who carefully exposes the emptiness of paths like pleasure, wealth, and status. In recent weeks, we've looked at the idols of pleasure and accumulation. Today, we turn to the idol of status.This one can be harder to spot. The line between excellence and envy is thin. Ecclesiastes 4:4 says, “Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor.” That's a striking thought. Our motivation may not be love of the work or calling—it's often the quiet urge to compete. To keep up. To be seen.That's what status does. It whispers, You're not enough—unless others notice you. And without realizing it, our careers, spending, and even our generosity, can become ways of proving our worth.“Keeping up with the Joneses” isn't just a saying—it's a way of life for many. We compare houses, vacations, schools, and the pressure to match others can lead to debt, burnout, and dissatisfaction with what God has already provided.And in our digital age, the pressure's amplified. Social media showcases only the highlight reel, not the debt, exhaustion, or stress that often accompany it. But we still scroll and wonder, “Why not me?”A Better Way ForwardEcclesiastes answers that longing with honesty. In verse 8, the Preacher describes someone who works tirelessly, builds wealth, but has no one to share it with: “There is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches…” It's a picture of success without joy. Activity without peace. A full schedule, but an empty soul.However, he then offers a better alternative. In verse 6, we read: “Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind.” In other words, it's better to have less with peace than more with anxiety. That's not laziness—it's wisdom. A life lived with margin, grounded in God's provision.Work as Worship, Not PerformanceThis is the invitation Ecclesiastes extends: not to give up on excellence, but to anchor it in the right place. When our work flows from a love for God and a desire to serve others, it becomes a blessing, not a burden. It becomes worship.We don't need applause—we need peace. And in Christ, we already have it. His approval is not based on performance. It's based on grace. That frees us from striving to be seen and lets us rest in being known.Maybe that's where you are—tired, overextended, wondering what you're chasing. Ecclesiastes invites you to step off the treadmill of comparison. You don't have to strive for identity. You already have it in Jesus.We often see examples of this. A professional sacrifices evenings and weekends to climb the corporate ladder, only to feel lonely at the top. A family maxes out their budget to project an image, while tension quietly builds at home. These aren't just stories—they're warnings. And they echo Ecclesiastes' caution about what we're trading in our pursuit of more.Sometimes this isn't just about envy. It's about fear—fear of being unseen, of being left behind. So we push harder, hoping success will quiet that fear. But only God can give the peace we're looking for.Redefining SuccessContentment doesn't mean quitting. It means redefining success. It means anchoring your worth in something that lasts. When you stop striving in vain, your ambition gets reoriented. Your work becomes more joyful. Your giving becomes more meaningful.So ask yourself today: Who am I trying to impress? What am I really chasing?If your hands are full but your heart is empty, Ecclesiastes invites you to trade performance for peace. True success isn't about being noticed or admired—it's about being faithful with what God has given you. And your worth? It's not something you have to earn or achieve. In Christ, you have nothing to prove because in Him, you are deeply loved, fully known, and eternally valued.Want to Go Deeper?If you want to dig deeper into these themes, we've created a new study just for you. It's called Wisdom Over Wealth, and it explores what Scripture—especially the book of Ecclesiastes—has to say about money, work, and living for what really matters.This month, when you give $35 or more to support the ministry, we'll send it to you as our thanks.

298 – Do you ever feel like your life is full of unsolved problems?Life seems to be racing along and it's hard to deal with everything when it comes up.This can happen on a personal level, but it happens at work, at school, at church. And just think of all the unsolved problems on a national and international level as well.But the solution is more than just finding a way to get all these problems resolved. Believe it or not, it's more about how you see yourself.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven…” – Ecclesiastes 3:1God has designed life to unfold in seasons, and with each one comes new challenges, opportunities, and sometimes, new finish lines. Today, Cody Hobelmann joins us to talk about why it's not only okay to adjust your financial finish line—it's often the wise and faithful thing to do.Cody Hobelmann is a Certified Financial Professional (CFP®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and a Wealth Advisor at Wealth Squared. He and his brother, Kealan, founded the Finish Line Pledge and also co-host the Finish Line Podcast, where they discuss the intersection of faith, generosity, and personal finance.What Is a Financial Finish Line?A financial finish line is simply an answer to the question, How much is enough? It helps us define what we need for our lifestyle so that everything beyond that can be redirected toward building God's Kingdom.There are two kinds of finish lines:Lifestyle (or Spending) Finish Line – The amount needed to fund your personal lifestyle.Accumulation (or Net Worth) Finish Line – The total assets needed to sustain that lifestyle for the rest of your life.These lines aren't rigid—they're tools to help us hold God's money with open hands, growing in both contentment and generosity.However, there's often a lot of pressure to get it exactly right, but what matters more is having a starting point. You'll grow and refine it as your life and faith journey progress.We recommend revisiting your finish line at least annually—or sooner if significant life changes occur, such as a new dependent, a move to a more expensive area, or a shift in health.The Four Buckets of MoneyTo help clients visualize their financial decisions, Cody teaches a simple framework that divides money into four “buckets”:Personal Spending – Covering day-to-day lifestyle costs.Future Planning – Savings and investments for future needs.Taxes – Obligations to the government.Kingdom Giving – Resources designated for generosity.A lifestyle finish line determines what belongs in the first two buckets, freeing the rest for eternal purposes.The Net Worth Finish Line: How Much Is Enough to Save?A net worth finish line is the amount we believe is appropriate to accumulate over a lifetime. The parable deeply informs us of the rich fool in Luke 12—the man who tore down barns to build bigger ones but failed to consider the brevity of life and the weight of eternal priorities.To set a net worth finish line, Cody walks clients through three core considerations:Lifestyle Needs – How much do you need each year?Wealth Transfer Goals – What will you leave to heirs or ministries?Conservative Margin – A buffer for life's unknowns—but not a replacement for trust in God.What Happens When You Cross the Finish Line?If you find yourself exceeding your finish line—accumulating more than necessary—we encourage asking yourself one essential question:“Why am I holding on to these resources in the first place?”God may have given you more not for personal security, but to fund the “good works He prepared in advance for you” (Ephesians 2:10). In that light, generosity becomes more than a response—it becomes a calling.Rather than letting a higher income raise our standard of living, it becomes an opportunity to increase our standard of giving.Not sure where to start? Try setting a finish line for 90 days. Just set a lifestyle finish line for three months and see what you learn.That short-term experiment opens the door to deeper financial freedom, greater contentment, and a stronger sense of purpose.A Finish Line That Leads to WorshipWe also should remember that at the end of the day, it's not just about money—it's about worship. 2 Corinthians 9:8 reminds us:“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work”To set a financial finish line, we must first recognize that everything belongs to God. It's not about figuring out how much of our money to give to Him—it's about learning to steward His money faithfully.Your finish line isn't a limit—it's an invitation to freedom, joy, and a deeper life of generosity.Want to Learn More?Ready to take the next step?

“Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay-Writing Task”.

“All his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.” — Ecclesiastes 2:23That verse from Ecclesiastes reveals a painful truth: even a productive life can feel empty when the wrong purpose drives our work. Wealth on its own doesn't bring peace—often, it brings more pressure. But Scripture offers a better way.What's Driving All That Effort?It's easy to admire someone who plans wisely, saves consistently, and builds steadily over time. Our culture praises that kind of discipline as responsible and virtuous—and often, it is. But Ecclesiastes challenges us to ask: What's driving all that effort?In Ecclesiastes 2:18, the Preacher writes, “I hated all my toil... seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me.” He isn't condemning hard work—he's grieving that all he's built will one day be handed off, possibly to someone who won't value or steward it well.That's where sorrow begins—not in failure, but in success without peace. “All his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest” (Ecclesiastes 2:23). The more we accumulate, the more we fear losing it. What promised security only multiplies anxiety.What a striking image—someone lying awake at night, not from failure, but from success. The more he possesses, the more he worries. This is the irony of accumulation: it convinces us that security is just one more achievement away, while quietly making us more anxious the more we gain.Jesus' Warning About Bigger BarnsJesus echoes this same warning in Luke 12. He tells the parable of a rich man who reaped such a bountiful harvest that he decided to build bigger barns to store it all. His conclusion? “Take life easy—eat, drink, and be merry.” To the world, that sounds like winning. But Jesus calls him a fool. Why? Because that very night, his life would be demanded of him. Then comes the haunting question: “The things you have prepared, whose will they be?”What's even more interesting is the context of that parable. Jesus tells it in response to a man asking Him to settle an inheritance dispute. This wasn't someone who earned the wealth—he simply wanted his share, and maybe more. Jesus' warning is clear: a greedy heart isn't the only danger. An entitled heart is just as spiritually destructive. And that's exactly what the Preacher feared in Ecclesiastes—wealth falling into the hands of someone who didn't labor for it and may not know how to handle it wisely.We see this all the time in real life. Many financial advisors and estate planners will tell you that inherited wealth, especially when passed down without spiritual or emotional maturity, can do more harm than good. It can fracture families, distort priorities, and erode purpose. The problem isn't money itself, it's the absence of wisdom alongside it.A Better Definition of SuccessThat's why this lesson matters. You can save well, build wealth, and still feel anxious and unsatisfied—not because you failed, but because you expected your efforts to give you what only God can: peace, joy, and purpose.But here's the good news—Ecclesiastes doesn't leave us in despair. In verse 26, we read, “To the one who pleases Him, God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy.” The solution isn't to stop working or saving. The solution is to stop worshiping our work. Stop defining success by the size of your bank account and start defining it by your faithfulness to the One who owns it all.When we live as stewards instead of owners, the pressure lifts. We begin to see wealth not as a prize to secure our future, but as a tool to serve God's Kingdom. Accumulation loses its grip, and generosity takes root. That's when real joy begins.So, ask yourself today: Am I building bigger barns, or am I faithfully stewarding what God has already entrusted to me? Am I chasing peace through my possessions, or receiving it from the Prince of Peace Himself?Because in the end, peace doesn't come from what we've earned. It comes from who we trust.A Resource to Go Deeper: Wisdom Over WealthNow, if you're wrestling with these questions, we'd love to help. That's why we're excited to offer our brand-new Bible study based on Ecclesiastes called Wisdom Over Wealth. It dives deeper into this theme of dethroning the idol of accumulation and learning to live with contentment and purpose.This month, when you support the ministry of FaithFi with a gift of $35 or more, we'll send you Wisdom Over Wealth as our way of saying thank you.

In this episode we answer emails from I Have No Name, Deep and Joel.  We discuss the extraordinary generosity of our listeners and how it uplifts the workers in the FMC trenches, rebalancing in accumulation, tax considerations for an intermediate term portfolio, saving for college, and what to do with new money just a few years from retirement.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.To donate to the Top of the T-Shirt campaign and double your fun, please visit the Father McKenna Center donation page and note "Risk Parity Radio Match" when making your contribution.Additional Links:Father McKenna Center Donation Page:  Donate - Father McKenna CenterFMC Instagram Page:  The Father McKenna Center (@thefathermckennacenter) • Instagram photos and videosFMC Facebook Page:  The Father McKenna Center | Washington D.C. DC | FacebookBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:Charitable giving and strategic investing merge powerfully in this week's episode as we celebrate remarkable fundraising success and tackle sophisticated portfolio questions. What began as a modest matching campaign for the Father McKenna Center has exploded into something extraordinary—over $22,000 raised in just two weeks, including a single $15,000 anonymous donation that left me nearly speechless. The genuine impact of this community's generosity on homeless and hungry individuals in DC cannot be overstated.Diving into listener questions, we explore the nuances of portfolio construction across different life stages. For physicians in their accumulation phase, we distinguish between large cap growth and large cap value when paired with small cap value, revealing how Shannon's Demon effect operates during dollar-cost averaging. The discussion expands into tax-efficient risk parity strategies for high-income earners, offering practical guidance on minimizing taxable events while maximizing returns.Parents of newborns will appreciate our deep dive into college savings strategies, including the optimal 50-50 large cap growth and small cap value approach that investment educator Paul Merriman and I both recommend. I share tactical insights on 529 plans versus brokerage accounts, suggesting that funding 529 plans earlier in a child's life maximizes tax advantages before transitioning to additional savings vehicles.For those approaching retirement, we address the critical transition from accumulation to decumulation portfolios, emphasizing that your financial independence number—not market predictions—should drive allocation decisions. The episode concludes with our weekly review of eight sample portfolios, highlighting performance across conservative, balanced, and experimental approaches.Follow the Father McKenna Center on social media to witness the direct impact of your donations, and consider contributing to our ongoing "Top of the T-shirt" campaign through July.

Welcome to episode 100! Today, we will be discussing Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria—its prevalence among neurodivergent individuals and how it has manifested in my own experience as an autistic person. Often, it is the accumulation of seemingly minor rejections that leads to burnout, particularly when navigating ambiguous social norms and the challenge of belonging. If you can relate to this experience, know that you are not alone. In this episode, we will explore the importance of self-compassion, emotional safety, and strategies for cultivating a more fulfilling and joyful life. Let's dive in.  In this episode: What is Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). Accumulation over time – how small, seemingly insignificant experiences of rejection can build, eventually leading to overwhelm or even burnout. The struggle to belong – how navigating unclear social rules and fear of making mistakes can intensify RSD, making participation in diverse communities particularly challenging.

With rigorous attention to history and empire, Maïa Pal's Jurisdictional Accumulation: An Early Modern History of Law, Empires, and Capital (Cambridge UP, 2020) is a unique analysis of imperial expansion. Through an analysis of ambassadors and consuls in the Mediterranean—and attention to Castilian, French, Dutch, and British empires—Pal's multifaceted conceptualization of jurisdictional analysis gathers together law and capital in the early modern period. A compelling application of political Marxist frameworks, Jurisdictional Accumulation is a multidisciplinary approach to thinking through extraterritoriality and its implications. Through archival work, theorization, and legal analyses, Pal offers us a novel way to better understand the links between capital, law, and imperial authority. Dr. Maïa Pal is a Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Oxford Brookes University. Her research brings together international relations theory, international political economy, and histories of international law, and focuses on early modern overseas consuls, imperialism, and empire.Rine Vieth is an FRQSC Postdoctoral Fellow at Université Laval.

In this episode we answer emails from El Yama, Graham, and James.  We discuss using risk parity-style portfolios for intermediate term needs, the short-term bond allocation in the Golden Butterfly, accounting for child credit, rising equity glidepaths, the fundamental differences between 100% stock portfolios and diversified portfolios and why you want the latter for retirement unless your goal is to die with the most money, and a CAPE ratio critique from Meb Faber's podcast.And THEN we our go through our weekly portfolio reviews of the eight sample portfolios you can find at Portfolios | Risk Parity Radio.Additional links:Kitces Article re Rising Glidepaths:  The Benefits Of A Rising Equity Glidepath In RetirementKitces/Pfau Paper re Rising Glidepaths:  Reducing Retirement Risk with a Rising Equity Glide-Path by Wade D. Pfau, Michael Kitces :: SSRNMeb Faber Podcast with Brian Jacobs discussing problems with CAPE ratio predictions:  A Century of No Return! The Truth About The Beloved Bonds (Brian Jacobs of Aptus Reveals)Breathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds," begins this thought-provoking exploration of why most investors are trapped in accumulation-phase thinking even as they approach or enter retirement. The question at the heart of this episode strikes at a surprising disconnect in personal finance: Why do so many investors intellectually understand they're investing to enjoy retirement, yet construct portfolios clearly designed to maximize wealth at death? Through a series of illuminating listener emails, Frank unpacks how portfolios optimized for accumulation often fail spectacularly during the decumulation phase. One listener confesses he "always wondered why anyone would buy bonds when clearly stocks give a far greater return," before discovering through portfolio testing that a 100% equity portfolio would have "failed catastrophically" for someone retiring around 2000-2003.This recognition—that diversification isn't about maximizing returns but enabling sustainable withdrawals—represents the fundamental insight many investors miss until too late. As Frank colorfully puts it, if your goal is to "die with the most money possible" in your "golden coffin," then by all means stick with 90-100% equities. But if you actually intend to enjoy your retirement by spending more than 3% of your portfolio annually, a properly diversified approach becomes essential.The episode also addresses why attempts to use valuation metrics like CAPE ratios to predict market movements have largely failed, and why separating your portfolio into growth and value components offers a more reliable approach to capturing rebalancing bonuses without attempting market timing.Make sure your investment behavior actually matches your stated goals. If you're planning to spend in retirement, construct a portfolio that optimizes for sustainable withdrawals, not maximum theoretical returns.Support the show

He has worked extensively with elite athletes, particularly in racket sports. Tendon issues like jumpers knee and Achilles tendinopathy are common in athletes. Eccentric training was a breakthrough in tendon rehabilitation. Heavy slow resistance training may be more effective than eccentric training. Tendons require regular loading to maintain health and prevent degradation. Aging begins around the age of 17, affecting tendon structure and function. Immobility can lead to rapid deterioration of tendon health. Tendon stiffness is crucial for performance and injury prevention. There is potential for improving tendon health even in older individuals.  The Achilles tendon may require different loading than the patellar tendon. Cross-links in tendons can affect stiffness and brittleness. Exercise is crucial for maintaining tendon health and properties. Dietary choices can influence tendon integrity and health. Metabolic syndrome is linked to tendon issues and injuries. Advanced glycation end products accumulate in low turnover tissues like tendons. Tendon size can increase due to vascularization in tendinopathy. Inflammation may be present in early stages of tendon pain. Circadian rhythms could play a role in tendon recovery processes. Future research should focus on the metabolic aspects of tendon health.   Christian's research (Researchgate): https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Christian-Couppe Christian's profile: https://researchprofiles.ku.dk/en/persons/christian-couppé Christian on Twitter: https://x.com/ccouppe

Mt. Iliamna is an active cone-shaped volcano located one hundred and forty miles (225 km) southwest of Anchorage and seventy miles (113 km) northwest of Homer. It is part of the Chigmit Mountains and rises from its base near Cook Inlet to 10,016 feet (3052.9 m), one of the highest peaks in the volcanically active area of the Alaska Peninsula. Ten glaciers radiate from the volcano's slopes. Iliamna last erupted in 1867, and observers have occasionally seen smoke wafting from the summit since then. However, it is the weather surrounding the mountain, not the volcanic activity, that makes Iliamna dangerous. Clouds frequently cloak the mountain's peak, and turbulent winds buffet this mountainous region, creating some of the most hazardous weather on the planet. Coastal fog and rain often create restricted visibility and a low ceiling. For aviators, flying in this area of the state can be challenging, dangerous, and sometimes deadly. Between 1958 and 1977, four mid-sized planes either crashed into Mt. Iliamna or were destroyed by the turbulence near the mountain, killing a total of seventy-nine people.
