Admit it: if you're a fan of classical music—or even just a regular concertgoer—you might have glanced at the title of this episode and done a double take. The Dvořák Violin Concerto? Not the Cello Concerto? One of the things I love about my job as a conductor—and my side gig as a podcast host—is bringing audiences and listeners like you pieces you may never have heard before, even if they're by extremely well-known composers. Don't get me wrong, I love the blockbusters. But there's a special thrill in introducing someone to something new. Now, some of you might already be big fans of the Dvořák Violin Concerto. But in my experience, it's relatively unknown compared to Dvořák's more famous works. I've never performed it myself, and I've only heard it live once. It's not part of most touring soloists' repertoire, and it's just one of those pieces that rarely comes up—especially compared to the Cello Concerto, which I think I've conducted at least once every season since becoming a conductor. This concerto came about much like the Brahms Violin Concerto, the Brahms Double Concerto we talked about a couple of weeks ago, and so many other great 19th-century works: inspired by the sound of Joseph Joachim's violin. Joachim was the great violinist of the 19th century and had been a friend and supporter of Dvořák for many years. Dvořák ended up dedicating the concerto to Joachim, writing: "I dedicate this work to the great Maestro Jos. Joachim, with the deepest respect, Ant. Dvořák." Sadly—and for reasons that remain somewhat unclear—Joachim never performed the piece. That may be one of the reasons it's never achieved the popularity it deserves. Today, in this Patreon-sponsored episode, we'll dive into the concerto, exploring its unusual form, the myriad challenges it poses for the violinist, and perhaps some reasons why it's not part of the so-called “Big Five” violin concertos—even though it probably deserves to be.

I'm recently back from the 2025 ACDIS national conference, and as usual flush with the latest in CDI trends, education, and breaking news. And right at the top of my takeaways is a seemingly innocuous classification with big ramifications: admit type. What makes this a big deal? Some hospitals appear to be playing a bit fast and loose with  guidance from the National Uniform Billing Committee (NUBC) in order to classify surgical admits as “urgent” rather than the more accurate “elective.” Doing so removes them from certain PSIs that negatively impact quality metrics and indirect revenue. My guest is Penny Jefferson, manager of clinical documentation integrity at UC Davis Health. Penny co-presented the session with Cheryl Ericson at the ACDIS conference. On this show we discuss: What is admit type, why is it important, and common misunderstandings (admit type is very different than admit status--IP/OP/observation) Who is the NUBC, and what are the current rules as they stand around elective, urgent, and emergent? Compelling data—deidentified, but real—presented at ACDIS that shows what appears to be clear gaming by some healthcare organizations of the assignment of admit type, specifically opting for urgent over elective The dramatic impact this seemingly small change can have on quality scores: Reclassifying an elective procedure as urgent effectively circumvents PSI exclusions, allowing the case to be excluded from elective-only quality measures, such as PSI 10, 11, or 13. Possible solutions including Penny's ongoing work with the NUBC and request for additional rigor Optimal way to ensure admit type accuracy in the current climate, from use of coding or CDI staff to additional training for admission staff Why is her boss Tami Gomez so awesome, and Penny's selection for the Off the Record Spotify playlist  For additional reading Inconsistent ‘Admit Type' Reporting May Inflate Hospital Quality Scores, by Nina Youngstrom/Report on Medicare Compliance: https://compliancecosmos.org/inconsistent-admit-type-reporting-may-inflate-hospital-quality-scores

In this raw and powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with Nick Jonsson—executive coach, endurance athlete, and author of Executive Loneliness—to confront one of the most pressing issues facing men today: isolation in the midst of success.   Despite the outward wins—money, titles, status—many high-performing men are silently drowning in loneliness, shame, and emotional suppression. Nick shares his journey from leading global companies to battling addiction, grief, and depression behind closed doors… and how he found his way out through vulnerability, community, and self-discovery.   Together, Frank and Nick unpack the brutal truth about why men stay stuck, what keeps them silent, and how reclaiming brotherhood and emotional honesty can literally save lives.   If you're a man who's crushing it on the outside but crumbling inside—this episode will hit home.

Day 33 - Fear is a False Prophet Isaiah 41:1-10   Fear is a false prophet. Fear will keep you entangled. Admit the fear, but then forget the fear. It is NOT by accident that the words ‘FEAR NOT' are written in the Bible 365 times. I believe God, in His divine sovereignty, allowed the writers to pen ‘FEAR NOT' 365 times because He knew we would face fear every day of the year.   Group Discussion Question : Fear will keep you entangled. What are some ways fear has held you back from pursuing your purpose or making necessary changes in your life?   Personal Reflection Question: What is one fear I need to confront in my life right now? How has it been holding me back?

In this sermon, Pastor Matt explores how to respond to faith-shaking illnesses, accidents, or deaths. He begins by acknowledging that life runs on two rails: celebrating good things and dealing with difficult realities. The pastor shares personal experiences with health issues, accidents, and loss to illustrate his points. The main focus is on four key responses: 1. Turn immediately to God: Pastor Matt emphasizes the importance of talking directly to God rather than about Him. He discusses various names of God that reveal His nature and ability to help, such as Jehovah Shalom (the Lord is peace) and Jehovah Rafa (the Lord who heals). 2. Admit when we need support from others: The pastor reminds us that God created us for relationships and that we sometimes need others to help bear our burdens (Galatians 6). 3. Give ourselves permission to mourn: He acknowledges that grief is a natural response to loss and that it's important to work through it with God and community support. 4. View our circumstances as opportunities to share Jesus: Pastor Matt encourages seeing difficult situations as chances to demonstrate faith and share Christ with others. Throughout the sermon, he reinforces the message that God is close to the brokenhearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed (Psalm 34:18).

SD Worx Ireland, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of its latest survey which reveals one in five (21%) employees in Ireland confess to misusing leave policies and taking absences without a valid reason. However, 40% claim their team is experiencing issues related to employee absenteeism - suggesting employees are not owning up to it, or their colleagues are overly suspicious. The independent study was carried out by iVOX on behalf of SD Worx and surveyed 1,000 employees in Ireland to gain insights into the current job market and the concerns amongst today's workforces. Additionally, it exposes some common grievances among employees in Ireland and found that almost half (49%) feel they are underpaid for the work that they do. It also suggests that employees are feeling overworked, with 46% saying that their team is facing staff shortages and struggling to keep up with their current workload. This increases to nearly half (48%) of employees who expect their team to face worsening talent shortages over the coming years. Compounding these challenges, 43% of employees believe their team's skills gap cannot be easily filled. Despite this, 44% say they are strict with their workloads and schedules, solely focusing on what is necessary and not working overtime. Amidst these rising pressures, the survey found that 44% of employees in Ireland are currently looking for a new job, but 60% of those surveyed admit that it is difficult to find a job within the labour market right now. However, 63% of employees are motivated and passionate about their work, while 62% say that they would recommend their organisation to a friend looking for a job. Eimear Byrne, Country Leader, SD Worx Ireland, said: "This research highlights a growing sense of dissatisfaction among Ireland's workforce. With 39% of respondents saying their manager struggles with effective leadership, it's clear that many employees feel they're lacking valuable guidance and mentorship. As a result, we are now seeing a knock-on effect with more people actively seeking to change jobs and widespread concerns about staff shortages, as well as underpayment. This comes as the EU Pay Transparency Directive is due to be transposed into Irish law in June 2026 - if done right, this could be an opportunity to alleviate employees' pay concerns and help to build trust. "Ireland is at full employment and organisations are facing a critical need to re-evaluate how they engage and support employees. The changing economic landscape is making businesses more conservative and they are under increased pressure to keep operations running smoothly, while trying to retain talent. With skills shortages and rising absenteeism in the mix, it's becoming harder to strike that balance. Now is the time to invest in people strategies and provide employees with the support, development opportunities, and workplace culture they need to thrive. This will allow businesses to secure and retain top tier talent while also building more resilient and engaged workforces for the future." See more stories here.

This episode of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast, hosted by Allison Dunn, explores the power of vulnerability in leadership. Dunn begins by acknowledging the common misconception that vulnerability is a sign of weakness, contrasting this with her emphasis that embracing vulnerability actually strengthens leadership.The episode delves into the definition of vulnerability in leadership, clarifying that it is not about oversharing or excessive emotional displays. Instead, Dunn defines it as having the courage to show up authentically, admit when you don't have all the answers, acknowledge mistakes, and be willing to ask for help. She also references Brené Brown's definition of vulnerability as "uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure," emphasizing the removal of the protective "armor" leaders often wear.To illustrate the impact of a lack of vulnerability, Dunn shares an anecdote about a CEO named Mark, who initially prided himself on appearing perfect and never admitting mistakes. This resulted in a disengaged team, high turnover, and a lack of innovation because his team members were afraid to take risks or share ideas. A turning point occurred when Mark admitted to his team that he was struggling with a market challenge and needed their input, dramatically shifting the team dynamic, leading to increased engagement and better ideas.Dunn then outlines three key reasons why vulnerability is powerful in leadership:•  It builds trust: Showing your human side creates psychological safety, allowing team members to feel comfortable speaking up and taking risks.•  It fosters innovation: By demonstrating that failure is a part of learning, leaders empower their teams to experiment and be creative.•  It builds authentic connections: Relatable leaders who share challenges are more approachable and human, fostering stronger connections with their teams.Dunn clarifies that vulnerability in leadership is not about being weak or indecisive but requires significant courage, introducing the concept of "strategic vulnerability". She provides five practical ways to practice strategic vulnerability:•  Share lessons from failures: Discussing what was learned normalizes failure as a part of growth.•  Ask for help: Phrases like "What are your thoughts?" show that it is acceptable not to have all the answers.•  Acknowledge emotions: Naming feelings humanizes the leader and validates the emotions of others.•  Admit when you're wrong: Simply stating "I was wrong" builds credibility.•  Listen deeply: Being present, asking thoughtful questions, and valuing others' perspectives are crucial.Dunn also shares an example of a leadership team that transformed their culture by implementing a simple weekly meeting practice where each person shared one challenge and one win. This ritual improved collaboration and facilitated earlier problem-solving. The episode references research from the Center for Creative Leadership, which indicates that leaders who demonstrate vulnerability are perceived as more authentic and inspiring, and their teams report higher levels of innovation and engagement.Towards the end of the episode, Dunn challenges listeners to consider how embracing strategic vulnerability might change their leadership and their team's response. She provides an action step for the week: to practice one act of strategic vulnerability with their team, such as admitting a mistake, asking for help, or sharing a learning experience, and to observe the outcomes.The episode concludes by reiterating that vulnerability is not weakness but rather the ultimate form of courage in leadership, and in today's world, it is not just beneficial but a competitive advantage due to the desire for authentic connection. Allison encourages listeners to subscribe to the podcast and leave a review, reminding them that "the most deliberate leaders have the courage to be vulnerable".About the Host:Allison Dunn•  Host of the Deliberate Leaders Podcast•  Business Coach•  Founder of Deliberate DirectionsConnect:•  Website: Deliberate Directions•  Podcast: Deliberate Leaders PodcastReminder: Subscribe and leave a review to support the podcast!

Mike and Stephen dive deeper into what makes a team consistently excel. They explore why humility is such a powerful trait in a leader and how staying curious can unlock new ideas from your team. Stephen shares how genuine listening – not just hearing words – builds trust and uncovers issues leaders might otherwise miss. The discussion shifts to the art of asking great questions. Stephen explains that sometimes posing the right question can lead your team to find the answer themselves, which empowers everyone. They also talk about getting your whole team involved in problem-solving, instead of the leader tackling every challenge alone. Throughout the conversation, Stephen highlights the often underestimated impact of appreciation. He reveals how something as simple as a heartfelt “thank you” can energize your team and motivate people to go the extra mile. It's a down-to-earth, insight-packed conversation that leaves you with practical ideas you can start using with your own team right away. Highlights The surprising way humility makes a team perform better How a leader's genuine curiosity can spark creativity in their team What “listening like a leader” really means in practice Why asking questions often works better than giving your team answers Engaging your team in problem-solving instead of tackling every issue alone A fresh take on showing appreciation – how a sincere thank-you boosts morale Key Takeaways Embrace humility: Admit you don't have all the answers and ask your team for input. Stay curious: Keep asking “why?” and learning from your team members every day. Listen actively: Give your full attention, and ask follow-up questions to truly understand your people. Ask rather than tell: Guide your team with thoughtful questions instead of just issuing orders. Solve problems together: Involve your team in brainstorming solutions to build buy-in and confidence. Show genuine appreciation: Let people know you value their work – small thank-yous go a long way. Connect with Steven on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevengaffneycompany/

"If we don't actively dream our dream, we are being dreamt" - Andean Wisdom, Marcela Lobos Since our lives are micros of the macro, I think it's safe to say that most of us are going through transformations ... being called to elevate in our next expression and evolution ... shedding skins / exoskeletons / phoenix feathers / old parts, roles & constructs ... likely it's already happening ... but are we tuning in and REALLY listening ... and do we have the inquires that lead us to the essence of what we desire to create, and what is on our design to do/live/be? So instead of being trapped, we create with life, from heart and soul. In this episode #1 in the Next Phase, On Purpose series - Ep 267: Becoming Something New - we will make sure you: have space + inquiries to shed light, gain insight and be able to articulate what this next phase (however long that is for you) is about. With this wisdom you gain a compass for clarity to make decisions, even in choppy, shifting waters.    Consider this: You are becoming something new ... it's happening, even if you can't see it, you can feel it ... so ask yourself... How can I actively dream and design my desired now reality and future reality, rather than being passively 'dreamt' by external circumstances? Here's the 3 inquiries we dove into to bring insight to what you are choosing to dream and co-create forward. Admit what I really want. Don't apologize or diminish this!  Choose- Where will I plant my field? Root my tree? Vocation, Relation, Location in this next cycle. Consciously curate- What needs to be released? What's still valuable to Preserve? What new possibilities do I want to Create space for? There is so much power in proactively choosing to release outdated beliefs and habits that we don't need in the next cycle .... to preserve valuable aspects that still have relevancy and life...  and create new opportunities and relationships to support us to evolve. I invite you to use this conversation and the 3 realms of inquiry as a practice of active dreaming and co-creation. Turn off the chatter and tune into your deeper wisdom and intuition to navigate and co-create your next phase in the now.   with heart,  Christine p.s. Share + forward this episode with a friend + share the insights from the inquiries. Reflect what you hear from each other.

In Part 1 of Mike Lejeune's interview with Stephen Gaffney on Strategies for Tomorrow's Leaders, they delve into what it takes to build a consistently high-achieving team. Stephen emphasizes that trust and honest communication are essential for great teamwork.  He and Mike discuss how leaders can create an environment where team members feel comfortable sharing concerns and real feedback—without fear. Stephen explains that when people feel emotionally safe, they're more likely to speak up about problems and contribute ideas, which ultimately drives better results. In fact, he shares a story of a struggling team that turned their performance around once they made open, honest conversations a daily habit. Another key theme of this episode is the importance of focusing on outcomes instead of just effort. Stephen challenges leaders to rethink how they define success: it's not about how hard people try, but what they actually accomplish. He offers practical tips for shifting a team's mindset toward results, like setting clear goals and rewarding achievements. Throughout the conversation, you'll hear real-world examples and simple strategies that any leader can use to boost trust, encourage open dialogue, and keep their team focused on what really matters. Highlights Why people don't tell the truth at work: Stephen shares the top reason and how to fix it A team transformed: How a struggling team turned around once honest feedback became the norm Results vs. effort: The culture shift that happens when you reward outcomes instead of hours worked Inviting tough feedback: Stephen's tips for making it safe for your team to speak up (even with bad news) No more “shooting the messenger”: What to do as a leader when you hear uncomfortable truths Consistency in performance: Why high-achieving teams focus on repeated wins, not one-off successes Key Takeaways Create psychological safety for honesty. Teams perform best when people feel safe to speak up with the truth. Measure success by results, not effort. Emphasize outcomes achieved instead of hours spent or “trying hard.” Invite candid feedback often. Regularly ask your team for honest input and listen without getting defensive. Lead by example. Admit your own mistakes and share your honest thoughts respectfully – it sets the tone for everyone else. Make accountability a team effort. Encourage team members to hold each other responsible for results, not just rely on the boss. Focus on solutions, not blame. When things go wrong, discuss how to improve and reach the goal next time rather than pointing fingers.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Turn your Bibles to Matthew chapter 5 verses 21 through 26.Matthew chapter 5 verses 21 through 26.We live in a culture that is absolutely obsessed with murder.There are dozens and dozens of true crime podcasts that delve into the nitty-gritty detailsof the worst crimes imaginable.Who has ever listened to a true crime podcast?No shame.Just asking.There are seemingly thousands and thousands of TV shows that are centered around murderinvestigations.Let me just list a few.Blue Bloods, Only Murders in the Building, Criminal Minds, Chicago PD, Sherlock, Bones,Castle, The Rookie, Longmire, Colombo, Psych, Monk, Murder She Wrote, Diagnosis Murder.Then there are the franchises that have spun out an endless amount of added-on shows, right?Law and Order, Law and Order Special Victims Unit, Law and Order Criminal Intent, Law andOrder LA, Law and Order Trial by Jerry, Law and Order True Crime, Law and Order OrganizedCrime, NCIS, NCIS Origins, NCIS Los Angeles, NCIS Hawaii, NCIS New Orleans, NCIS Sydney,CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, CSI Los Angeles, CSI Vegas, CSI Cyber, CSI Sheboygan, CSI Wexford.Okay, wait.Those last two don't actually exist, but at the rate they're pumping out these spin-offs,you never really know.But millions of people tune into these kind of shows every single week to watch fictionalmurderers face justice.On top of these podcasts and TV shows, we even play a board game with children thatis all about murder.That board game is?Who has ever played Clue at some point in their lives?I don't want to explain the basic premise, right?Okay, three to six players, you're all trapped in a mansion and one of you murdered Mr. Bodie,who owned the mansion.Was it Ms. Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, or ProfessorPlum?The whole purpose of the game is to figure out who is the murderer, what is the murderweapon, and what is the location of the killing?Again, this is a game for children.If the game can end with an accusation like this, Colonel Mustard in the conservatorywith a candlestick.Maybe you love playing this game growing up because you like to solve the mystery, assignthe blame for murder, and point the finger at made-up characters.But what if I were to tell you that every single person in this room is guilty of murder?This is in my opinion, it's not a suspicion, a hunt or an unfounded accusation.This is a clear and simple fact from the mouth of our Lord.According to Jesus Christ, we are all Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with a candlestick.And you may be thinking, "Taylor, I don't know about the person next to me, but I havecertainly never murdered anyone in cold blood."Well, you may be innocent of physically murdering, but there is no wiggling out of the realitythat you are guilty of spiritually murdering in your heart by hating others.And again, I know that some of you may be resisting what I'm saying already.You think to yourself, "I don't hate anyone.I am pleasant with everyone."I mean, sure, there are some people I intensely dislike.There are some people I vent about constantly.There are some people I avoid at all costs, and if I saw them in the grocery store, Iwould run in the opposite direction.But hey, that's different.Is it different?Maybe you are dressing up your hatred to make it look nice and acceptable when it is actuallycruel and dishonoring to the Lord.No matter who you are, how nice you may appear, you are not exempt from hatred.Because you have to understand that murder is not just an action.It is a state of heart in mind.We have been studying the Sermon on the Mount since February, and we are in the second sectionof our study, "The Heart of the Law."Last week, Pastor Jeff taught that Jesus Christ didn't come to abolish the law, but to perfectlyfulfill it through His life, death, and resurrection.And throughout the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus demonstrates that the law is not skin deep.It actually drills down deep within you to your heart.Jesus cares about who you are on the inside.He is far more interested in the internal than the external.In Matthew 5, verses 21-26, Jesus exposes your greatest desires, fears, and innermostfeelings which you try to keep hidden away from others.Jesus pulls your anger into the light to show you how truly ugly, subtle, and destructiveit actually is.Jesus doesn't do this to humiliate you.He does this to help you.Jesus doesn't do this to condemn you, but to change you from the inside out.Because hatred cannot be allowed to fester.It will hollow you out on the inside, and it will hurt everyone around you.So how do you stop hatred from growing in your heart?Well, our passage for this morning offers four methods of extermination that will keepthe infection from spreading.Before we cover those, let's go to the Lord and ask for His help.Please pray for me that I will faithfully proclaim God's Word, and I will pray for youthat you will joyfully receive God's Word.Father, we thank you for this most important appointment of the week.We gather together as your people to worship you, to encourage one another, and to situnder the proclamation of your Word.Lord, I thank you that you watch over your Word to perform it, and that your Word accomplishesevery purpose for which you send it out.I pray this morning that you would do your work in our hearts and lives.We ask all this in Jesus' name.Amen.So how do you stop hatred from growing in your heart?The first method of extermination by putting it to death when it first appears.By putting it to death when it first appears.Let's read verses 21 through 22.Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to those of old, you shall not murder, andwhoever murders will be liable to judgment.But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment."So Jesus kicks off a pattern that we see six times in Matthew chapter five.You have heard that it was said, but I say to you.And at first glance, it may look like Jesus is changing one of the six commandments.It may look like he is erasing the original meaning and coming up with something brandnew.But as Pastor Jeff said last week, Jesus came not to lessen the law, but to elevate it.Jesus is not changing the sixth commandment.He is simply revealing something that has always been within it, but has been ignored.He is not contradicting God's word.He is contradicting the Pharisee and scribes incomplete interpretation of God's word.The religious leaders of Jesus' day thought and taught that the sixth commandment of,"You shall not murder," only applied to the physical acts of homicide in manslaughter.They put this commandment into a box and ignored its deeper meaning.And here is the heart of the sixth commandment.Do not give yourself over to unrighteous anger, which leads to the act of unjustly endingsomeone's life.Anger is the first domino in that chain reaction.The religious leaders limited the scope of God's command and the process they limitedits impact.By viewing the sixth commandment in this way, a religious leader could look at himself andsay, "Hey, I am perfectly keeping this commandment.I have never clubbed someone over the head.I've never pushed my neighbor off a tall building in a fit of rage.God must be so proud of me, but internally they are killing people by despising them,despising tax collectors, sinners, and Gentiles."In this passage, Jesus corrects the massive oversight of the men who should know the lawbetter than anyone else, but have missed the entire point.They have missed the heart.Jesus is saying, "Don't think you're safe and sound because you have no bodies buriedin your backyard.You were on the hook for a serious crime and heading for serious consequences if you havehatred and anger and bitterness buried in your heart."It's especially egregious to be angry with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.Why is that?You know, as a dad, it pains me to watch or read news stories about kids being bullied.But do you know what would be worse than watching strangers be mistreated, finding out thatone of my own kids is being bullied?Do you know what would be the worst of all?Discovering that one of my kids hates and actively tries to hurt his or her sibling.It grieves the heart of God to watch his children despise and attack one another.And John talks about this in his first epistle.He says, "Everyone who hates his brother is a what?A murderer.And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."At this point, you may be frustrated thinking, "Wait, so you're saying I can never be angrywith anybody, especially if he or she is a Christian.How is that possible?"To be clear, Jesus isn't saying that anger is always sinful.God gets angry.God hates sin and what it causes.Jesus got angry throughout the Gospels.As a human, it is impossible for you to not feel feelings of betrayal, of annoyance, andfrustration.Jesus isn't condemning anger in general.He is condemning a very specific kind of anger.In this passage, the word for anger in the Greek is orgizō.And this is a fuming, a boiling anger that is nurtured and intensified like a pot of wateron a stove.You keep dialing up the temperature, keep dialing up the intensity until it overflowsand scalds people.This kind of anger twists your heart.It distorts how you view other people.You may even danger about bad things happening to this person.You may want this person to get what's coming, to get what they deserve, to be publicly humiliatedand to feel the same exact pain that you feel.When you hate someone, you are communicating this message to the Lord.Lord, I don't care if that person dies and I want them out of my life for good.Now, you would never say that out loud, but that's what you're feeling in your heart whenyou harbor bitterness.Because that person is dead to you when you never ever want to see him or her ever again.In your book, it's like they've been wiped out of existence.It's like they've fallen off the face of this earth.That kind of anger is a spark that can be snuffed out or fanned into flame.It's challenging to put to death in its infancy, but it's way harder to kill once it's fullygrown and is out of control.And this principle holds true in every other area of life.If you had gone to the dentist, when you first noticed that tooth pain, you could have avoidedthe unpleasant and very expensive root canal.That small leak in your attic would have been much more manageable whenever it was a smalldrip, but now every single time that it rained, it's like a waterfall in your attic.Even care of your yard would have been much easier when you pulled weeds as they poppedup, but after months and months and years of neglect, there are weeds everywhere.In those moments, you noticed a problem, but you did nothing about it.You stuffed it down instead of honestly addressing the issue.Never turn a blind eye to your sin.Only when it comes to unrighteous anger and hatred, when you see that root of bitternesspop up, be relentless and pulling it out and throwing it away instead of giving it roomto breathe and to grow.When that urge to mentally curse someone out in your mind pops up, don't entertain it.Don't go down that ungodly route.Instead, choke out those thoughts with the word of God.If that person is a believer, pray for their sanctification.If that person is not a Christian, pray for their salvation.When a family member or friend fails you, trust me, they will fail you.Don't stew on the offense and tally up all the ways that person has let you down in thepast.Instead, run to the only one who has never and will never let you down.Go to God the Father so that you can choose patience and gentleness instead of pettinessand retaliation.When the desire to believe the worst about someone in this church enters your mind, willinglydecide to believe the best until proven wrong.Run down the stove of your anger before it hurts you and everyone around you.How do you stop hatred from growing in your heart?Second method of extermination by refusing to kill others with destructive words.By refusing to kill others with destructive words.So Jesus moves on from what's in your heart to what comes out of your mouth at the endof verse 22.He says this, "Whoever insults his brother will be liable to the counsel and whoeversays you fool will be liable to the hell of fire."Maybe this seems over the top to you.You may be thinking, "Really Jesus going before the Supreme Court and being thrown into hellfor insulting and slander?"Isn't that a bit severe?Well, maybe you won't think that if you understand what these insults actually mean.That word for insult in the Greek is "rokka" which means empty-headed or worthless.And that word for fool is "moros" from which we get which English word do you think?Moron.That's not just a cute, funny word.The New Testament uses that word to describe those who were outside the kingdom of God.So by labeling someone as "rokka" and "moros" you are saying you are a worthless and stupidwaste of space with nothing of value to offer anyone so you can go straight to hell forall I care.True Christians cannot lose their salvation by using their mouths for evil.But a person whose life is marked by this kind of vile speech should question the genuinenessof his or her faith and status in the family of God.How can you flip people off in traffic throughout the week and then passionately raise your armsand worship on Sunday?How can you unapologetically scream at your wife and your kids and then use that samemouth to pray to a heavenly Father who you were nothing like?How can you day after day at work belittle your colleagues, your coworkers, your employees,and then go to a small group and claim that you are a bold witness for Christ?How can you ruin the reputation of others with slander and then describe your reputationas above reproach in God-honoring?You cannot habitually kill others with your words and claim to love Jesus with your wholeheart.Your words say way more about you than the person you are speaking against.Please do not underestimate the impact and influence of your words.You can use your mouth to point someone to Christ or away from Christ.To smash them into a million pieces or to help put them back together again.You can use your mouth to give someone hope or to take away the little hope that someonehas.Listen to what the apostle Paul has to say about how you should and shouldn't speak inEphesians 4-29.Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouth, but only such is good for building up as fitsthe occasion that it may give grace to those who hear.No corrupting talk.Corrupting brings the mental picture of something that is rotten and moldy.Imagine every single time you use your words in a negative way that this gross odor eaksout of your mouth and grosses out everyone around you.My wife and I were first married.We lived in a garage apartment above the house with a very nice Christian couple and theirson.We have almost no complaints about them.Great family, very kind to us.We had one small complaint.Once or twice a week they would make a meal that smelled horrible.The smell would go from the kitchen into the vents and finally into our apartment.I can't tell you how many candles we lit, how many balls of Febreze we sprayed to tryto fight off this odor.Somehow those defenses make it worse, doesn't it?The smell is kind of mixed together to create a horrible uber smell.It's been 11 years.I swear to you, I can still smell this meal in my house sometimes.I know that's not possible.My wife tells me I'm imagining it, but that smells so offended in my nose that it hauntsme in every season of life.You may be thinking, "Okay, what's the point of this random gross story?"Your corrupting words have the power to linger and haunt people for the rest of their lives.If I passed around a mic this morning and asked everyone to share the most hurtful thingsthat have been said to or about you, there wouldn't be a dry eye in this room.Now I want you to think about some of the most hurtful things you've ever said to orabout someone.Was it worth it?Do you stand by what you said or do you regret it?Just given a do over, would you say it all again or would you keep your mouth shut?Remember your answers to those questions when you were tempted to lash out at others withyour words.Recognize that you can never take your words back no matter how much you wish that you could.How do you stop hatred from growing in your heart?Third method of extermination by seeking after immediate reconciliation.By seeking after immediate reconciliation.So verses 23 through 24, Jesus switches gears to focus on how you should address the angerof others when you are at fault.Let's see what he has to say about next steps.Verse 23, "So if you were offering your gift at the altar and there, remember that yourbrother has something against you.Leave your gift there before the altar and go.First be reconciled to your brother and then come and offer your gift."Jesus places a high premium on resolving relational issues quickly and pursuing after reconciliationas soon as possible.He even puts it above sacrifice, which to Jews in the first century would have beenunthinkable.Being sacrificed is expected and commanded by God, but Jesus says it's more importantto be at peace with others around you.He's saying if you're making your sacrifice, leave it there, leave, go put this issue tobed and then come back to finish your sacrifice.This would be similar to us hearing, "Listen, if you're shopping at giant eagle, leave yourcart at the register and get out of there.If you're pumping gas, jump into your car and speed away and don't worry if the gasnozzle is dragging on the road behind you.If you're worshiping a church on Sunday, stop singing and track that person down.Resolve that unfinished business."Do you have unfinished business right now?Do you need to ask for forgiveness?Maybe you need to step out, make that call, send that text or even speed out of the parkinglot.If that's you, do it right now.Maybe you don't want to.Sadly so many of us demand apologies from others, but we're so bad at apologizing whenwe're wrong.Why is that?Because apologizing requires humility.You have to make yourself small and put yourself at the mercy of someone else.Do we naturally want to do that?None of us do, but it's commanded by our God and it is expected.It's way easier to cut ties and run than it is to admit your faults.That's why there are so many marriages that end in divorce.That's why there are so many friendships that are broken.That's why so many professing Christians leave their current church to go to anotherchurch down the street.Well, time for a fresh start.No one at this new church knows my dirty laundry or my history yet not yet.Give it a few weeks or months and you'll be looking for a new church yet again.It is far more appealing to the flesh to be totally unknown and completely unconfirmedthan it is to be fully known and lovingly confronted.Please stop pretending because Jesus is not fooled.Stop running away from those you've hurt because your problems will just follow you whereveryou end up.Do not be lazy and passive about reconciliation.Just like, yeah, yeah, I'll put that on my to-do list and get to it at some point.No, Jesus is saying, rip up your to-do list because nothing else matters.Do whatever is necessary to attempt to stifle that anger that is between you and the otherperson.How do you stop hatred from growing in your heart?Final method of extermination by remembering what's at stake.By remembering what's at stake.Maybe you're still unmoved by Jesus called a crush hatred and pursue after restoration.You know what God is calling you to do, but you just don't want to do it.You don't have any plans to make any changes or say sorry anytime soon.Well, thankfully, Jesus knows how stubborn you are.And he knows how stubborn I am.So he follows up his command with a very stern warning in verses 25 to 26.He says this, "Come the terms quickly with your accuser while you were going with himto court lest your accuser hands you over to the judge and the judge to the guard andyou be put in prison.Truly I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny."Let me bring this first century illustration into the 21st century.Imagine that you and your neighbor are fighting over a property line dispute.And during one argument, you get so angry that you viciously attack him.You were 100% guilty and there are witnesses to back up your neighbor's testimony.Your neighbor threatens to call the cops, to press charges and sue you if you do not apologize.But in that moment, you don't want to apologize.You want to defend yourself.You want to fight against your neighbor.You don't want him or her to have the satisfaction of beating you.But let's follow that to its logical conclusion.The cops come, you're arrested, you're put on trial and you have to go to prison andstay there until you are let out.And even then, you still have a lot of legal fees and you still have to pay out the lostsuit.Let me ask you, is there any upside to that option, option A?What do we think?No, it's all horrible.But thankfully, there's an option B. Throw yourself at the mercy of your neighbor.Ask for their forgiveness and seek after an agreeable solution.If you do that, your future is no longer filled with orange jumpsuits and public showers.Maybe thinking, well, thanks for the random legal advice, I guess.But what does this have to do with me?Well, here's the point.Hatred is a prison that you willingly lock yourself into.Hatred is a prison that you willingly lock yourself into.If you give yourself over to it, if you refuse to repent, there will be consequences in thislife.You will become very lonely and unpleasant to be around.You'll be known as the cranky guy or lady at church that everyone wants to love butdoesn't know how to.You'll be viewed as the human cactus.Everyone tries to hug you and bring you closer, but you just push them away and hurt themwith jabs.You will be trapped in a loveless marriage.Your children will wither away under your harshness and constant criticism.And you'll wonder one day why they don't visit anymore or call you to check in.Your friends will drop away like flies one by one by one because they're tired of youpicking fights and refusing to apologize.Let me ask you, is that the direction you want your life to take?Is that where you want to end up?And these final two verses, Jesus is focusing on the penalties you will face right now ifyou wrong others and never seek forgiveness.But over this past week, I couldn't help but consider the eternal penalty for unrepentanthatred and a continual refusal to seek after the forgiveness of Christ.Paul is crystal clear in 1 Corinthians 6 10 that revilers slanderers will not inheritthe kingdom of God.As I said earlier, some of you need to do some serious self examination.If you relentlessly feed this anger in your heart and it pours out from your mouth andthrough your actions, you may need to answer this really difficult question.Am I truly saved?Because true Christians choose to love instead of hate.A true follower of Christ wants to repent of sin, not wallow in sin.Someone who has experienced the forgiveness of Christ wants to extend that to others insteadof withhold it.Those who have been changed from the inside out say, "I'm sorry, will you forgive me?"Not "I'm sorry, but" or "I didn't do anything wrong."Because none of us are perfect in any of these areas.But you should be making progress day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year.Are you kinder, more loving, more forgiving now than when you first came to Christ?And if the answer is no, maybe you never truly came to Christ in the first place.If your honest answer to the question of "Am I truly saved?" is no, then your future isfar more terrifying than any earthly jail or prison.You are looking down the barrel of an eternity of being sentenced to a prison that is inescapableonce you are there.In hell, no one is released early or given visitation rights.But I have great news this morning.You don't have to be sentenced to that kind of eternity.There is still time to trust in Christ today.You don't need to carry that hatred or bitterness any longer.Those burdens will sink you both now and forever if you let them.Give those burdens over to Christ who was hated by the crowds that you could be lovedby His Father, who was rejected on the cross that you could be accepted, who bore the angrywrath that you deserve so you could be declared innocent.Jesus Christ has open arms this morning.He is calling you to run to Him.He is ready and willing.Are you ready and willing to run to Him and accept all that He has to offer?Let nothing hold you back from Christ because He will withhold nothing from you once youcome to Him with a sincere faith in genuine repentance.If your honest answer to the question of "Am I saved?" is yes, but you still wrestle withholding on to resentment and burning with anger, I have a few final words of encouragementfor you.You may have dug yourself into a pit of your own making.You keep digging and digging and digging with obsessive thoughts, unkind words, and stubbornness.But please listen to me.You only need to stay in that hole as long as you want to.Nothing and no one is keeping you there besides yourself.If you want to get to a better place, get over yourself and admit your neediness.Admit that you need God's help.Find yourself the truth instead of buying into your own lies.You should hold no grudges because God holds no grudges against you.You have nothing to prove to anyone because Jesus Christ already approves of you.You have no reason to repay evil for evil because the Bible says that vengeance belongsto the Lord.You have no defense for your hatred because you have received the greatest love imaginable.Let's spend some time with the Lord in prayer.Please close your eyes and bow your heads.Use this time to confess your sin to the Lord.To acknowledge how much you need Him to change.Stop putting on a show and be honest with your Father because He already knows whatyou're struggling with.The first step in finding a solution to your problem is admitting that you even have aproblem.Don't worry about what's for lunch.Don't worry about your busy day tomorrow, how your kids are doing in the back.Do business with God.Father, we come before you to confess our sin.Lord, all of us struggle with this in some way at some level, whether we want to admitit or not.And Lord, if there is someone in this room who doesn't know you, Lord, I pray that todaywould be the day of salvation.Today would be the day where they run to you and ask for forgiveness for the very firsttime.For the rest of us, Lord, would help us to recognize that we are already forgiven ofour hatred, that the eternal penalty for our sin has been taken away.But Lord, we are called to love you so much that we must hate our sin.Lord, help us to hate how we sin against you rather than hate others.Where we ask for your power, we ask for your strength to grow, to mature.I pray that we'd walk out of this room as lighter people after giving you the burdenof our hatred and anger.I ask all this in Jesus' name.Amen.

Think you're ready for a healthy relationship? Think again. In this raw solo episode, Sabrina breaks down the four uncomfortable but necessary truths about dating and relationships that most people avoid. From why you might not actually be ready for the love you say you want, to how your nervous system may be confusing chaos with chemistry, this episode is a call-out and a wake-up. With research-backed insights (yes, we're talking the salience network and the Dunning-Kruger effect), you'll learn why timing, emotional maturity, and attraction blindness play a bigger role than you think—and why doing “everything right” still won't guarantee you don't get hurt. Whether you're stuck in situationships, questioning your dating patterns, or struggling to let go of potential, this one's for you. Sabrina gives you the science, the tools, and the truth—with zero sugarcoating. Get ready to rewrite the narrative, rewire your brain, and reclaim your standards. MERCH IS NOW AVAILABLE!
