Hometown Radio 11/30/23 5p: April Dury and Louise Browne talk about being adopted

There's something cool about the way our stories unfold when we offer what we have openly to be used however God sees fit. Whether it's a gift or a calling, perhaps it's a talent or a treasure. It's like God has such a unique way of calling us into what he knows we've been designed to do and then taking us along the journey and process to get there we never knew we needed. Dustin Tavella is a world-class performer. He is the winner of the hit competition show America's Got Talent. Dustin was crowned champion for his magic performances alongside his ability to inspire audiences through storytelling. The platform gave him the ability to show the world how personal connection is something we, as humans, long for. Dustin does not just share ideologies, but he shares experience. For 20 years, Dustin has devoted himself to serving the world around him. He has worked with youth, those struggling with drug addiction, and also with the homeless. Dustin's angle on how to make an impact is incredibly unique and his approach to finding magic in everything that life throws our way is both simple and transformational. I'm so thrilled to have had the opportunity to connect with Dustin, hear more of his story and perspective on how he and his wife do life beyond the stage. The way they seek to love people, love God and show up for what he's inviting them into is beautiful and I just believe you will also be encouraged today! Looking back on your own journey, you'll be encouraged that God is entirely faithful and like Dustin, he will use even the unexpected ways ultimately for your good.

BETSY BRANTNER SMITH JOINS DAWN LIVE - BETSY RESPONDS TO THE THIN BLUE LINE RULING IN PA - AS WELL AS THE CRIME TRENDS AND HOPE IN PHILADELPHIA FOLLOWING A NEW MAYOR IN OFFICE (The Philadelphia Inquirer)A Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) township cannot bar police and municipal employees from displaying the “thin blue line” flag, a federal judge ruled this week.The ruling comes after Pennsylvania's largest police union filed a lawsuit in January, alleging that leaders in Springfield Township had violated the Constitution by banning the flag. Adopted by some police departments and their supporters after 2020′s mass protests over police brutality, the flag depicts a black-and-white American flag with one blue stripe, and has been tied to the “Blue Lives Matter” slogan used by supporters of law enforcement... Springfield Township officials banned its employees from displaying the flag on township property in January, saying that the flag had become central to tensions between marginalized communities and law enforcement, and adding that it had been adopted by white nationalists since its introduction. Read more. The National Police Association, a non profit that supports law enforcement officers across the U.S., has supported efforts in Florida and Colorado that keep Homeowners Associations from banning Thin Blue Line flags.

Paul Mann continues on our Identity preach series looking at am I orphaned or adopted?

There is no greater evidence that we are children of God than our living together as family. We can not say that we have received and experienced the love of the Father until we've given ourselves to love one another. If we've been adopted by the Father, we've been called to adopt one another as family — The Family of God.Scripture(s):

The sermon text is Romans 8:17-18.

If we are born-again, we're joint-heirs with Christ — we've been made one with Him. We now live, move and we have our being in Him. No longer do we look to the fallen world as our source of love, peace, fulfillment and joy. We have found that in Christ — although we are in the world it is no longer our source. This life of “in but not of” brings with it suffering. But the suffering it brings isn't worthy to be compared to the glory that is and shall be revealed. 

We celebrate vulnerable children's day this Sunday by learning about a new mission partnership and diving into scripture. We learn that God has a special place in His heart for kids, especially vulnerable kids. Rescuing hurting kids is not just a charity for us to support, it's a rescue mission for all the church. Our compassion is what leads us to action, and because we are no longer slaves, we are adopted sons and daughters, we should be rescuing the hurting and vulnerable around us. Our prayer today is for God to point out the places in our personal purity that we need to offer up to Him, to give us a personal sense of responsibility to serve and show us how we are to be used in the process of rescuing a child. We ask that God push our church to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves and rise up on behalf of the fatherless.

The Tanakh, the Bible is first and foremost a family story. It starts with the man Abraham, and continues throughout his promised lineage, the people of Israel. This sermon entitled "Adopted Not Co-opted: The Right End of the Funnel" encouraged us to look at the word of God from that perspective in order to truly understand God's heart and God's plan. Only through this lens, can we properly understand our place in the family story and what we must do.

Tune in: Podcast Links – Psychopath In Your Life Adrenochrome is a chemical compound produced by the oxidation of adrenaline (epinephrine). It was the subject of limited research from the 1950s through to the 1970s as a potential cause of schizophrenia. While it has no current medical application, the related derivative compound, carbazochrome, is a hemostatic medication. Despite this compound’s name, it is unrelated to the element chromium; […] The post Do they drink Childrens BLOOD? What is Adrenochrome. Where do missing children end up? Did all the children get adopted? appeared first on Psychopath In Your Life.

There is no greater distinction or identity that a human being can have than to be a child of God. We can make no greater contribution to humanity, to this world or to our families than to live as a child of God. But we can not make ourselves His, only Christ can do that — we've been given the work of agreeing with, what He says about us.

St. Paul teaches that through the Holy Spirit we become adopted children of God as we configure our lives to the suffering and glory of Jesus Christ. October 30, 2023 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Tash Walker is the founder of a firm and spends her Fridays making marmalade.Before instituting a four-day workweek at her firm, The Mix, she barely had time for her relationships. She decided to start doing research about different ways of working. There had to be a better way than the default options of "Summer Fridays" and "flexible work," that never seem to make less anxiety or stress-ridden.In her research, she discovered many examples of Swedish companies embracing 4-day workweeks and also found that when they instituted it, they often helped improve productivity. After bringing the option to her team at The Mix, they decided to do a three-month trial. They didn't even tell their clients.The funny thing? The clients didn't even notice. Even better, when they shared it with their clients - they weren't offended. They were curious to learn more and impressed that they had prioritized their people. While many quickly reflex to "well that can't work here," Tash and her team went forward anyway and have shown that a 4-day work week can work and it can work in professional services - an industry where many take for granted the fact that you should always be available for your clients.Beyond improving the lives of the people at the firm, they achieved some incredible results: Revenues up 57% Absenteeism down 75% Productivity stayed the same Doubled the number of clients Client referrals up 50% Want to learn how to make this happen at your company? You can download their "4-day week" report which is one of the best reports I've seen on the future of work.

We all have practices and values which come from our family of origin. But now that we are resurrected to life in the family of Jesus Christ, it is essential that we discover and practice these seven values of our heavenly family. Without them, we will be ineffective and unproductive in our earthly assignments.

Does it feel like your child is sabotaging the holidays? Are there more tantrums, sullenness, and anxiety during the holiday season? We explore why and what to do about it with Rebecca Robotham, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Beehive Counseling & Wellness in Connecticut. She is also an adoptee and former foster child.In this episode, we cover:There are many sources of trauma for children, and many adopted and foster children have experienced trauma before they come to our homes. We're talking neglect, prenatal exposure, abuse, domestic violence, and the actual act of being removed from your parents.How can trauma impact children? Both physically and emotionally?What is it about the holidays that makes it hard for kids with trauma? (change in routine, lots of people, bringing up memories, over-stimulation, change in diet, distracted parents, build-up of anticipation, let down after the fact…)What type of behaviors might you see? (more tantrums, dysregulation, “sabotaging” the holidays, sibling bickering, depression, sullenness, anxiety, …)How can families do the holidays differently to help kids who have experienced trauma?This podcast is produced by www.CreatingaFamily.org.
