Title: The Promise KeeperSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 7:26-8:13Episode Overview:In this message, we journey through the biblical storyline of God's saving work, tracing three great covenants: the Covenant of Works with Adam, the Covenant of Grace fulfilled in Christ, and the Covenant of Redemption established before creation within the Trinity. Where Adam failed and we still fall short, Jesus perfectly obeyed, completed the work, and now sits and serves as our eternal High Priest. This covenant of grace is not earned but secured by Christ, and rooted in a plan made before time began. At the heart of it all is a simple and profound truth: God saves sinners.Key Highlights:• Covenant of Works: Adam's obedience was the condition for life, but he failed—“If I obey, I'll be accepted.”• Covenant of Grace: Through Jesus' obedience and sacrifice, we are now accepted—“Because He obeyed, I am accepted.”• Covenant of Redemption: Before creation, Father, Son, and Spirit covenanted together to redeem a people by grace.• Jesus is Seated: His work is finished—unlike Old Testament priests, He sits, declaring final victory.• Jesus is Serving: Even now, He ministers on our behalf in heaven.• Jesus is Securing: A new covenant written on our hearts, promising mercy and permanent relationship.• Final Takeaway: As J.I. Packer put it, God saves sinners. All of it—from planning to completion—is God's work of grace.Call to Action:Take time this week to slow down and consider what it means that God saves sinners. Let that truth shape your prayers, your repentance, your worship, and your sense of security. Ask yourself:Am I still trying to earn what Christ has already finished?Do I live like Jesus is seated—like the work is done?Do I trust the Spirit is actively applying grace to my heart today?Consider this simple line: God saves sinners. Let it reshape how you see God—and how you walk with Him this week.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org

Episode Summary: This episode features Jon Schwabish, an economist and data visualization expert, who discusses how school administrators can use data visualization to better understand and communicate data to improve their schools. Key Takeaways: Data visualization can help school administrators quickly understand their data and make better decisions. Visualizing data can reveal trends and patterns that might not be apparent from looking at raw data in spreadsheets. School administrators should use a variety of graph types to communicate data effectively. Different graphs are better suited for different types of data and audiences. Qualitative data, such as student stories and experiences, is just as important as quantitative data. Qualitative data can provide context and insights that numbers alone cannot. School administrators should have a clear goal in mind when visualizing data. What do they want their audience to learn or do with the information? Actionable Steps: Start by identifying your audience and what they need from the data. Consider the platform where the data will be presented. Use clear and concise language to explain the data. Walk people through the data step by step, especially if they are not familiar with the graph type. Use visual elements, such as color, size, and position, to highlight important information. Resources: Jon Schwabish's website: policyviz.com Jon Schwabish on social media: @JSchwabish Qualitative data analysis tools: Envivo, Dedoose, Atlas.ti Call to Action: Take the time to create effective data visualizations. Use data to identify problems and solutions in your school. Communicate data clearly and effectively to all stakeholders.

Marriage has the power to bless deeply—and wound deeply. The closer the relationship, the sharper the sting when things go wrong. Words spoken in anger, seasons of silence, broken trust, or unmet expectations can leave scars that don't fade quickly. But here's the good news: God doesn't ignore those wounds—He heals them.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." — Psalm 147:3If you're hurting in your marriage—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally—know this: God sees. He sees the tearful prayers you haven't told anyone about. He sees the aching silence. And He's not asking you to cover it up. He's asking you to bring it to Him.Healing isn't pretending it didn't hurt. It's choosing to bring your heart into the presence of the One who knows how to bind it gently.And yes—healing takes time. Just like a physical wound, emotional wounds need cleansing, care, and patience. Some might require conversation and counseling. Others might start with confession and forgiveness. But every healing journey begins with surrender.You don't heal by demanding your spouse fix you. You heal by letting God restore what's been torn. That might mean laying down bitterness. That might mean inviting accountability. That might mean trusting God again… even before your spouse changes.And if you're the one who caused the wound—don't harden your heart. Own it. Apologize with humility. Then let God shape you into someone who no longer wounds, but builds.God doesn't waste pain. And He never leaves wounds untreated. When you place your brokenness in His hands, He doesn't just patch it—He makes it stronger than before.Question of the Day:What wound have you been carrying in your marriage that God wants to begin healing today?Mini Call to Action:Take a quiet moment and write down what's been hurting. Invite God into it. If it's time, share it gently with your spouse.Let's Pray:Lord, You are the healer of broken hearts. We bring You every wound, every scar, and every pain. Bind us up with Your love. Teach us how to walk in forgiveness, restoration, and grace. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!God doesn't just heal what's broken—He redeems it for His glory.Support MyR2B Ministries:MyR2B Ministries is our full-time ministry.

Just as deceptive weeds can creep into a healthy garden, pride often sneaks into our hearts, growing unnoticed among our accomplishments and even our service to God. Annie Yorty uses a vivid gardening metaphor to help us recognize how pride takes root and how we can humbly invite God to weed it out. Through reflection, Scripture, and prayer, we’re reminded to give glory to the true source of all our gifts: God alone. Themes Explored: The subtle danger of pride Recognizing the difference between self-glory and God-glory Daily humility as spiritual “weed control” Confession and dependence on God for heart inspection Living for God’s glory over our own Scripture Reference Jeremiah 9:23 (NLT) “This is what the Lord says: ‘Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches.’”

On this Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the true meaning of this solemn holiday—not just a day of rest and recreation, but a time to remember and honor the men and women who laid down their lives in service to our country. Lynette Kittle takes us back to the origins of Memorial Day, offering historical perspective and spiritual comfort for those grieving their loss. Through Scripture and prayer, we are reminded that while their sacrifice brings sorrow, it also points to the ultimate hope we have in Christ. Themes Explored: The history and purpose of Memorial Day Honoring military sacrifice with reverence and gratitude The eternal hope for those who die in Christ Comfort for grieving families The call to remember freedom's cost Scripture Reference John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Episode Description:Some things you were never meant to carry forever. In this episode, we'll talk about how "falling down the stairs" reminded me of the emotional, spiritual, and physical toll of holding on too long. We'll explore why it's important for you to release, and the real cost of refusing to release what God has already called you to let go. From anxiety and identity distortion to stress-related health issues, this is your reminder that peace is not passive—it's powerful. And sometimes, letting it be is the most loving thing you can do for yourself.In This Episode:• What holding on too long really costs you• How unprocessed pain shows up in your body• What “letting it be” looks like spiritually and practically• Reflective questions to help you release and restScriptures Referenced:• Proverbs 14:30• Philippians 4:7Call to Action:Take a moment to journal or voice-note your answer to this: What is my body, spirit, or mind asking me to release? Then tag me or DM me what you're choosing to let be. Your release is part of your healing.The Well Done Life Podcast Information:The Reset Experience Recap Video: https://youtu.be/4ynD3AEuz2I?si=okF38OJIH4vLoVmJPrevious Episode: https://www.buzzsprout.com/851650/episodes/17092873-unapologetic-no-honoring-what-feels-right.mp3?download=trueInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pamelaldavis/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewelldonelifepodcastEmail: hello@thewelldonelife.com and thewelldonelife@gmail.com Thank you for listening.

From the very beginning, God designed marriage with purpose. It wasn't man's idea—it was God's. He created it not just for companionship, but to reflect His unity, His covenant, and His love. To become one flesh is not a metaphor. It's a holy reality, spiritually and physically. And when we align with God's design, our marriages reflect His glory.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." — Genesis 2:24Marriage is not simply the joining of two people. It is the uniting of two lives into one. Two hearts, two minds, two stories—now woven together under God's authority. This oneness is sacred. And it must be protected.But unity doesn't happen by accident. It requires intention. It requires humility. And it requires both spouses to pursue God as their first love—because only in Him can true unity be found.One flesh means no longer living as two individuals with separate visions, but as a unified team with a shared mission. It means prioritizing each other above all other relationships. It means letting go of selfishness and walking together with patience, grace, and mutual submission.If your marriage feels divided—God can restore unity. If your hearts feel distant—God can draw them together again. But it begins by returning to His design. His blueprint is not flawed. It still works. And it still blesses.Question of the Day:Where in your marriage is God inviting you to walk more deeply in unity?Mini Call to Action:Take time today to pray together—or individually—for unity. Ask God to align your hearts and minds to His divine purpose for your marriage.Let's Pray:Father, we ask You to bring our hearts together under Your design. Break down any wall that divides us, and build within us a deep and lasting unity. Make us one, just as You are One.

Forgiveness is not just something we offer when it feels convenient—it is a command rooted in the character of Christ. In marriage, where two flawed people walk intimately and closely together, forgiveness is not optional—it's vital. It is the lifeblood of lasting covenant love.Our springboard for today's discussion is:"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." — Ephesians 4:32Marriage reveals both the beauty and brokenness in each of us. And because of that, there will be moments—sometimes many—when you will hurt one another. Sometimes it will be unintentional. Sometimes it won't.But forgiveness is not about justifying the hurt. It's about releasing it.When Christ forgave you, He didn't wait until you deserved it. He didn't require you to fix yourself first. He extended grace freely, fully, and without condition. That same grace is what you've been called to offer within your marriage.Forgiveness doesn't erase the wound—but it removes the weight. It's not a denial of pain—it's a decision to surrender the right to hold it against your spouse.This doesn't mean we avoid hard conversations or overlook repeated patterns that need healing. But it does mean we refuse to become prisoners of resentment. Because unforgiveness doesn't only distance us from our spouse—it distances us from God.The world says hold on to offenses. God says release them. And when we choose His way, we make room for healing, reconciliation, and restored trust.Question of the Day:What offense have you been holding on to that God is asking you to release?Mini Call to Action:Take a moment today in prayer. Name the offense. Then release it to God, even if you need to do it in tears. If appropriate, speak words of forgiveness to your spouse—or start by writing them down.Let's Pray:Lord, teach us how to forgive as You forgave us. Break the grip of bitterness, and heal what has been broken. Fill our hearts with grace, and help us walk in the freedom of forgiveness. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Forgiveness isn't weakness—it's the strength to choose love over offense.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Send us a textSuccess. It's a word we hear all the time, but what does it really mean, and more importantly, who gets to define it? In this introspective and empowering episode, I'm breaking down how we often measure success by external markers, like praise, promotions, and popularity, and how that can lead to burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome. Together, we'll explore what it means to move beyond external validation and redefine success on your own terms. Let's shift from chasing approval to cultivating purpose, joy, and self-trust.What You'll Learn:Why traditional markers of success often lead to burnout or self-doubtHow to identify your personal definition of successThe importance of internal validation, and how to cultivate itHow values, boundaries, and self-compassion create authentic successKey Takeaways:External validation fades, internal peace lasts – Relying on others' approval is fleeting. Learn to build success from within.Your values should lead the way – Aligning your goals with what matters most to you creates lasting fulfillment.Self-compassion is a success skill – Growth isn't linear. Be gentle with yourself when things don't go as planned.Comparison steals your joy – Your journey is your own. Real success means honoring your pace and progress.Call to Action:Take a few moments today to reflect: What does success mean to me, outside of other people's opinions?

radiantvisalia.comWord & Deed: We are Witnesses: Marriagewith Danny CantelmiSermon Notes: We Are Witnesses - MarriageScripture: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21, Matthew 12, Philippians 2:12-13, Psalm 77:7-15Intro: This sermon is part of the "We Are Witnesses" series, focusing on how our lives testify to Jesus. Today's message explores how our marriages can bear witness to Christ. Even singles can benefit from the principles shared, but marriage uniquely reveals how we respond to challenges and conflict.Text: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21Exposition:The Stages of Marriage: Marriage is a journey with various stages, each with unique challenges and opportunities for growth. It's easy to focus on our spouse as the source of challenges, but our greatest challenge often lies within ourselves.Dying to Self: Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians that we are no longer to live for ourselves, but for Christ. This involves letting go of our rights and preferences. Sin makes us self-focused and self-important, but marriage calls us to die to those tendencies.Three Ways Marriages Can Witness to Christ:Develop a Kingdom Perspective: We need to reorient our marriages around a kingdom perspective, sowing small seeds of kindness, prayer, gratitude, and humility.Practice Reconciliation: We must first be reconciled to Christ, then extend that reconciliation to our spouses. This involves confession, repentance, and forgiveness.See Marriage as a Partnership for the Gospel: Our spouses are our partners in ministry, and together we can advance the Gospel through raising our children, serving others, and demonstrating Christ's love in our daily lives.Conclusion:The Lord's Table: We respond by coming to the Lord's Table, remembering Christ's sacrifice that reconciles us to God and empowers us to live in a way that reflects His love.A Word of Encouragement: Even in the midst of trials and suffering, we can remember God's faithfulness and the hope of His return.Call to Action:Take the "Confession, Repentance, and Forgiveness" handout from the Connect Table.Consider how you can partner with your spouse to advance the Gospel.If you need prayer, don't hesitate to come forward.*Summaries are generated using AI.

Whether you dream of luxury cruises, guided tours, or experiencing life as a full-time traveler, this episode of Inspired Money opens up endless possibilities. Discover how retirees are embracing adventurous travel while sticking to budget-friendly strategies.

Phil and Jeannie Titus: Retired educators turned full-time travelers, the Tituses have embraced a nomadic lifestyle since 2023. Traveling across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, they live comfortably on their teacher pensions, demonstrating how to stretch dollars while living life on the road. Key Highlights 1. The Power of Slow Travel Doug Nordman emphasizes the joy and depth that slow travel brings: “For us, the two biggest expenses of slow travel are the airfare…and lodging.” By staying in one place longer, retirees can delve deeper into local cultures and communities while reducing costs significantly. 2. Currency Advantage in Travel Tim Leffel advises leveraging favorable currency rates to make the most of travel budgets: “The dollar is not always strong, so when it is, take advantage of it.” Planning travel around strong currency can provide a luxury experience at a fraction of the cost. 3. Building Social Connections on the Move Phil and Jeannie Titus highlight how removing ties to a permanent home fosters unexpected friendships: “One encouraging word…travel reinstills faith in humanity. There are so many good-hearted people.” Their journey illustrates the profound social benefits of embracing a nomadic lifestyle.

Vitality & Performance Optimization PodcastVitality Course WaitlistFive Primary Points of this Week's Podcast* Preparation as a Key to Success: The podcast emphasizes the transformative power of preparation, citing quotes from Louis Pasteur and Seneca to underline that "chance favors the prepared mind" and "luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity." Examples like the Beatles, Muhammad Ali, and Steve Martin demonstrate how relentless preparation and honing one's craft lead to extraordinary success.* The Importance of Muscle Mass, Strength, and Power: Dr. Mishra highlights the distinction between these three aspects of muscular function:* Muscle Mass: The total volume of muscle tissue.* Muscle Strength: The ability to exert maximum force.* Muscle Power: The speed at which force is generated. Decline in muscle power is particularly significant with age and is linked to risks such as falls and frailty, making it essential to optimize all three for healthy aging.* Grip Strength and Longevity: Grip strength emerges as a critical biomarker, associated with reduced risks of conditions like diabetes, cognitive decline, and depression. Enhancing grip strength and overall muscular fitness supports vitality and longevity.* Balance as a Predictor of Aging: The ability to balance on one leg is identified as a powerful and reliable indicator of aging and musculoskeletal health. Simple practices, such as one-leg balance exercises during daily routines, can help maintain balance and reduce the risk of falls and associated injuries.* Call to Action – Take a Chance and Be Prepared: The podcast encourages listeners to "take a chance" in pursuing their dreams but to do so with thorough preparation. Practical steps, such as incorporating resistance training, focusing on balance, and sharpening observational skills, are essential for building resilience and achieving long-term vitality and performance.Vitality & Performance Optimization PodcastVitality Course Waitlist This is a public episode.

Angela welcomes Dr. Peter Martone, an expert in sleep biomechanics, to discuss the critical impact of sleep positioning on overall health and well-being. Dr. Martone shares insights on how proper spinal alignment during sleep can enhance restorative sleep, improve heart rate variability (HRV), and regulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essential for reducing stress and promoting recovery. The conversation delves into the concept of the "triune of sleep," emphasising the importance of alignment, subconscious safety, and conscious relaxation techniques   MAIN TAKEAWAYS The Sleep Triune: Alignment, Safety, and Subconscious Control: Dr Martone presents the Sleep Triune, explaining that true sleep quality starts with proper alignment. If the body is misaligned during sleep, it leads to subconscious pain, causing tossing and turning throughout the night. Corrective Sleep Positioning for Spinal Health:  The ideal sleep position is lying on the back with arms at the side, legs straight, and a pillow under the neck (not the head). This position supports the natural cervical curve and prevents long-term structural problems. Sleep Avatars: Personalising Sleep Based on Subconscious Patterns:  Dr Martone categorises sleepers into three avatars—Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich—based on their subconscious sleep habits. Understanding your sleep type can help tailor strategies to improve both sleep quality and overall health. Optimising the Vagus Nerve for Better Health: Misalignment in the cervical spine can compress the vagus nerve, leading to a range of issues, from poor digestion and immune system dysfunction to anxiety and depression. Aligning the neck properly during sleep can enhance vagus nerve function and improve parasympathetic tone. Breathing Techniques to Calm the Mind: Focusing on long exhalations rather than inhalations helps calm the mind and body. Dr Martone recommends a simple technique: breathe in slowly, let the breath out even more slowly, and pause before inhaling again.   TIMESTAMPS & KEY TOPICS 00:01 – Introduction to Dr Peter Martone and the role of sleep positioning in health. 01:41 – The Sleep Triune: Why proper alignment is crucial for sleep and health. 06:51 – Corrective sleeping position: Back sleep with pillow under the neck, not the head. 13:15 – Understanding the three sleep avatars: Armadillo, Gorilla, and Ostrich. 21:07 – Impact of vagus nerve compression on parasympathetic function. 33:49 – Strategies to calm the subconscious: Pressure points and breathing techniques. 37:42 – Importance of exhaling for falling asleep: A simple breathing exercise. 41:28 – Customising sleep strategies based on sleep avatars. 42:42 – How sleep posture impacts your ability to create the reality you want. 45:15 – Call to Action: Take the Animal Sleep Avatar Quiz at DoctorSleepRight.com.
