It can be tempting to leave, move, or abruptly change direction when we find ourselves sharing a community, city, workplace or family with people who don't behave the way we think they should. After all, they are "toxic" right? Jesus tells a parable that challenges this way of thinking and implies that, like the wheat in the story, putting down roots and growing amid adversity is often part of how we mature. Join us this Sunday for an exploration of staying present amid temporary pain to cultivate resilience, wisdom, and fruitfulness "...and maybe even discover that we are not nearly as good at telling wheat from weeds as we think we are."

Today we continue ourstudy in Philippians chapter 4. Yesterday in verse 11, Paul told us one of thegreatest secrets of the Christian life: "I have learned, in whatsoeverstate I am, therewith to be content." Today in verse 12 he explainswhere that lesson was learned. "I know how to be abased, and I know howto abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and tobe hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.” Paulis describing a life that has experienced every extreme. He says, "Iknow..." That word is important. He doesn't say, "I've heardabout these things." He doesn't say, "I've read about them." Hesays, "I know." These are lessons learned through personalexperience. Paul had lived on both sides of life's circumstances.  Heknew how to be abased. The word means to be brought low, humbled, or to livewith very little. Paul knew what it was like to be hungry. He knew what it waslike to be cold. He knew what it was like to be beaten, imprisoned,misunderstood, and rejected. He had slept in prison cells and spent sleeplessnights at sea. He had experienced loneliness, pain, and persecution. ButPaul also knew how to abound. There were times when God supplied every needabundantly. There were seasons of fruitful ministry. Churches were planted.People were saved. Friends encouraged him. Believers generously supplied hisneeds, just as the Philippians were doing now. Paul understood something thatmany Christians never learn. It takes as much grace to handle prosperity as itdoes adversity. Some people fall apart when trouble comes. Others becomespiritually careless when blessings come. Adversity can make us bitter.Prosperity can make us proud. Both are dangerous if Christ is not the center ofour lives. NoticePaul says, "Everywhere and in all things..." Literally, inevery place and in every circumstance. Whether traveling across Asia Minor...Standing before governors... Preaching in synagogues... Working as atentmaker... Sitting in a Roman prison... God was teaching him the same lesson.Then he says something fascinating: "I am instructed..." Theexpression literally carries the thought of being initiated into a mystery.Paul is saying, "God has taught me a secret." What is that secret? Itis not that circumstances no longer matter. It is that circumstances no longercontrol him. There is a tremendous difference. Paulwas not living under his circumstances. He was living above them. Someone onceasked an elderly Christian, "How are you doing under yourcircumstances?" He smiled and replied, "What am I doing under them?God never intended me to live there!" That simple answer contains aprofound truth. As believers, we do not deny our circumstances. We do notpretend pain doesn't hurt. We do not ignore disappointments. But neither do weallow those circumstances to dictate our joy, our peace, or our confidence inGod. We live above them because Christ lives within us. Thecircumstances around us may change daily. But the Christ within us neverchanges. Hebrews 13:8 reminds us, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, andtoday, and forever."  Perhapsthat is why the Apostle Paul could write in 2 Corinthians 4:17, "Forour light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far moreexceeding and eternal weight of glory." He wasn't minimizingsuffering. He was comparing it with eternity. When we focus only on today'scircumstances, life can become discouraging. When we remember that God isworking an eternal purpose, our perspective changes. Corrie ten Boom once said,"If you look at the world, you'll be distressed. If you look within,you'll be depressed. If you look at Christ, you'll be at rest." How true! TheChristian life is not about escaping difficult circumstances. It is aboutexperiencing the presence of Christ in the middle of them. And it is not aboutbecoming independent of circumstances. It is about becoming dependent uponChrist.

The scoreboard may decide the winner, but it doesn't tell the story of the game. The Stars and Stripes Classic pits America's Green Berets against Navy SEALs, renewing Special Operations' greatest rivalries. But beyond the game, every operator on the field, and family member in the stands, represents an unwavering commitment to something greater than themselves.In this episode, Fran Racioppi sat down with the President and CEO of the Green Beret Foundation Charlie Iacono, and Chief Warrant Officer Nick Lavery, to discuss why the Stars and Stripes Classic is much more than just a game. It is an opportunity to strengthen the Special Operations community, honor the legacy of those who served before us, and introduce the next generation to the values that define Special Operations.Charlie shares how the Green Beret Foundation continues to evolve beyond traditional support programs, placing families at the center of its mission and developing initiatives like Task Force Tatanka to deliver customized solutions for Green Berets, veterans, and their loved ones. Nick reflects on the mindset that carried him from catastrophic injury in Afghanistan back to an Operational Detachment Alpha, redefining resilience not as avoiding adversity, but as the willingness to confront it, adapt, and continue moving forward.Our conversation explores the unique relationship between Green Berets and Navy SEALs - fierce competitors on the field, trusted teammates in combat. From military leadership and entrepreneurship to preserving the legacy of Special Operations, we discuss why sharing these stories remains critical to strengthening the community and inspiring the next generation.The Stars and Stripes Classic is a reminder that while competition builds excellence, it is service, family, and the enduring bonds of the Special Operations community that define the legacy of the Green Berets and Navy SEALs long after the final whistle blows.

The question isn't whether adversity will come. The question is: Who will you become when it does? In this week’s powerful conversation, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with retired Navy SEAL Lieutenant, Jason Redman, to explore what it truly means to overcome adversity. After surviving a devastating ambush in Iraq that left him shot eight times, Jason discovered that his greatest battle wasn't on the battlefield…it was the one that followed during recovery. Together, they discuss the "Overcome Mindset," resilience, leadership, discipline, marriage, faith, and why every person will eventually face a "life ambush." From the lessons of Navy SEAL training and combat to the famous handwritten sign on his hospital door that inspired millions, Jason shares practical wisdom on choosing courage over comfort, discipline over motivation, hope over despair, and faith over fear. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, failure, anxiety, betrayal, or life's unexpected setbacks, this conversation is a powerful reminder that adversity doesn't have to define your story…but your response to it will.

This week on The KORE Women podcast, Dr. Summer Watson welcomes Eliza Young, whose life story is one of profound resilience, courage, and transformation. From surviving severe childhood health challenges and more than 20 surgeries before the age of 18, to navigating parental kidnappings and later developing breast cancer linked to 9/11 exposure, Eliza has faced extraordinary adversity throughout her life. In this conversation, we talk about the power of choosing positivity without denying pain, how trauma can shape both struggle and strength, and why moving from victimhood to survival begins with perspective and intention. Eliza's story is not about pretending hardship did not happen. It's about learning how to reclaim your life, your voice, and your future despite it.

Fr. Joseph Royan, C.Ss.R., provides a comforting reflection on Psalm 3, offering a spiritual guide for finding peace and confidence in God while facing life's overwhelming adversities and trials. He explores how David's prayer during his flight from his son Absalom serves as a timeless source of assurance for anyone struggling against challenging circumstances.

Dr. Alan Castel, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and one of the world's foremost experts on human memory and cognitive aging. We discuss what science actually tells us about how to improve our learning ability and memory at any age. We also discuss how memory works, why all planning and imagination about the future is based on the past, false memories, and how to leverage curiosity, emotion, and self-testing retrieval practice to stamp in memories for the long term. We discuss what "superagers"—people who actually improve their cognitive capacity with age—do differently than everyone else. This episode is for anyone interested in the science of memory and tools to maintain and improve your memory across the lifespan.

At the center is a lawsuit Donald Trump filed against the IRS and the Treasury Department after a contractor leaked his tax information. As Hawk lays out, the suit appears to have been time-barred by a two-year statute of limitations, sought far more than the roughly $10,000 the statute allowed, and pitted Trump against agencies he controls, meaning there was no genuine adversity between the parties. The judge, joined by a brief from 35 former federal judges, described it as a fraud on the court. The collusive settlement reportedly created a large compensation fund and an addendum, signed by Blanche, granting Trump and his associates immunity from IRS investigations. Hawk compares it to the ABC and Disney defamation payout, connects it to Trump v. Slaughter, and argues the DOJ's credibility with judges is collapsing.

The Quiet Roar: Reinvention, Authenticity, and Building a True Soul Personal Brand with Louise BudgenI interview author, storyteller, speaker, and former ICF coach Louise Budgen about reinvention, identity, authenticity, and personal branding rooted in lived experience. Louise shares how a life-changing motorway accident, PTSD treatment (EMDR), and two cancer diagnoses prompted post-traumatic growth, self-compassion, and a return to inner wisdom, leading her to retrain as a coach at 50 and publish her first book at 61, The Quiet Roar: Stop Pretending You Are Fine. She explains her “True Soul” framework (truth, trust, time, tests, transitions), the importance of quieting external noise to reconnect with intuition, and how joy, nature, and presence restore alignment. Louise emphasizes that powerful brands come from owning personal stories, being “boxless,” and creating a ripple of kindness that helps others stop pretending and trust themselves. 00:36 Meet Louise Budgen02:26 Becoming Your True Self03:59 Choosing Yourself05:11 Personal Brand Evolution08:27 Finding Your Quiet Roar11:04 From Scroll to Soul16:38 Adversity as a Gift22:43 A Reader Saved Herself25:54 The Power of Hidden Stories27:09 Stop Pretending Invitation27:56 Unravel Through Story29:03 Reinvention Through Visibility29:52 Freedom To Be Boxless34:02 Inner Wisdom Practice37:33 Trust And Time39:02 Legacy Of The Ripple43:01 Ageless Service Mindset45:15 Quickfire Quiet Roar Get in touch with Louise Budgen:www.louisebudgen.com   Instagram: louise.budgen LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/louisebudgenGet in touch with Brigitte Bojkowszky:Website BridgetBrands: https://www.bridgetbrands.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bojkowszkyb/ Website Retreat “I AM BECOMING”: https://event.i-am-escape.com/i-am-becomingAmazon booksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bridgetbrandsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bridgetbrandsBook a call: https://calendly.com/bridgetbrands/20-min-discoverycall 

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the fight against a spiritual enemy who seeks to cause Christians to quit or become discouraged in the spiritual warfare.  Looking to Jesus as an example, believers should be encouraged when the enemy seeks to stop them or discourage them, because they are doing enough for the kingdom of God to be on his spiritual radar.  May Christians be encouraged in adversity.  Send us Fan MailSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

Something new starts here. This is the very first episode of The Nick Hiter Show, a brand-new show I'm launching outside of The Hitstreak — a different format, a different kind of conversation, and a space to go deeper on the stuff that doesn't always fit the usual mold. Thanks for being here from day one.In this opener, I get into the complexities of navigating legal challenges — specifically the impact of lawsuits on personal and family life. I share the frustration of the legal process, the emotional toll it takes, and the lessons I've learned through adversity. We also get into transparency in business relationships, why trust matters so much, and the personal growth that comes from hardship — with some honest reflection on parenting and raising resilient kids along the way.Key Takeaways:- Legal battles can be a long and frustrating process.- Time is a critical factor in legal disputes, often driving up costs.- The emotional toll of lawsuits can affect family dynamics.- Transparency in business relationships fosters trust and collaboration.- Personal growth often comes from navigating difficult situations.- Parenting involves teaching resilience and handling adversity.- Criticism can be a valuable tool for personal development.- Building trust requires vulnerability and openness.- Life experiences shape our understanding of relationships.- Adversity can lead to significant personal and spiritual growth.Follow and contact:Instagram: @nickhiterSubscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

The Christian life isn't a playground. It's a battlefield. But as believers, we're not fighting for victory; we're fighting from the victory Jesus has already won. In this episode, we explore one of Satan's greatest strategies: causing believers to doubt who they are in Christ and what God can do through them. If you've ever felt disqualified by your past, overwhelmed by your weaknesses, or discouraged by doubt, this episode will remind you that your confidence is found in Christ alone. Learn to recognize the enemy's schemes, stand firm in God's truth, and walk in the victory that is already yours through Jesus.

"Newsflash, no one is coming to save you. This life of yours is 100% your responsibility." Brett Lavender had no father from age 6, no mother from age 19, and no family left by the time he was 20. What he built from that — over decades of hard experience, deliberate self-work, and thousands of hours performing in front of crowds across every walk of life — is one of the most honest frameworks for masculine presence and communication you're likely to hear on this show. Brett created the Persuasive Lion program, built around what he calls the Lost Languages: eye contact, body language, facial expression, tone of voice — the fundamental communication tools that technology has stripped from a generation of men. From there he goes deeper into nervous system regulation, stoicism, and a single contract he asks every client to make with himself: protect your calm nervous system at all costs. The conversation between Nicky and Brett covers the difference between performance and presence, why aggression is the wrong answer in nearly every situation a man will face, and what it looks like to be the rock in the ocean that the waves crash against — at home, in business, and inside your own head. Brett is also honest about his own floor: suicidal at 22, a bottle of vodka a day, no safety net. His message isn't a pep talk. It's a man who's been there, done the work, and has something real to say about what it takes to come back.

In this episode, we dive into the powerful theme of responding to life's challenges with a measured response rather than a reaction. Inspired by the story of Joseph from the Old Testament, we explore how true inspiration often comes from those who navigate adversity and prosperity with grace and integrity. Join us as we discuss: The importance of making thoughtful choices in the face of difficult circumstances. How our responses can either reflect our surroundings or demonstrate our character. The extraordinary life of Joseph, who, despite being betrayed and sold into slavery, maintained his faith and integrity. The challenge of trusting God when it feels like He is silent or absent. The ultimate test of character: how to respond when you hold the power and influence, especially when those who hurt you come back into your life. This episode is a reminder that while we may not control our circumstances, we have complete control over how we respond to them. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that encourages you to respond in ways that are counter-cultural and transformative. Read along with our chosen scripture: Genesis 39:6–9, 20–21; 40:8, 13–15, 19, 23; 41:14–16, 32–36, 39–40, 49; 42:1–2 Message Idea: One reason you respect the people you respect most is because of their response to one or both of two things --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an alternative to church as usual. Our Sunday worship service is approximately a 75-minute experience designed to introduce people to the message of Jesus and equip believers to live their lives in response to the Gospel while their kids enjoy one of our safe children's environments.

He gave everything for his country, came home without his legs, and then completed 110 miles anyway.Mike Egan is a Marine combat veteran who lost both legs to an IED in Afghanistan. In this conversation, he sits down with Dominic to talk about the G1M Go One More Backyard Ultra in Texas, where he completed 27 loops (110-plus miles in a wheelchair over 27 straight hours) finishing 27th in a field of able-bodied athletes. When heavy rain turned loop 27's course into thick mud and locked his wheels, Egan climbed out of the chair and crawled, dragging it behind him. He barely blinked.But the race is almost a footnote. What Mike actually delivers in this hour is a masterclass in how to think about suffering. He talks about the year he didn't leave his house, the slow crawl back out of isolation, and the realization that endurance sport wasn't about fitness—it was the first thing that forced him to face what he'd been packing down for years. He talks about repurposing pain, the discipline of not breaking promises with yourself, and why he never asks "what if," he just does. He also pushes back hard on one thing: don't compare your hardships to his. Your suffering is your own. How you respond to it is all that matters.This is one of the most direct, no-fluff conversations about identity and resilience TRE has ever produced.Tap into the Mike Egan Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!
