Today, Fellowship President and Global CEO Yael Eckstein shares a teaching from her daily Bible podcast, The Chosen People.

In his book Starved for Affection, Dr. Randy states: Affection is the kind of love that leaves you feeling close, safe, and cared for.  So, today's question is: “When do you feel most loved by your spouse?” But it's also a question you should ask your spouse.

Or how a simple kiss gets treated like you're asking for something much bigger? Well, in this episode I'm going to explain exactly why one partner who craves affection has a partner that avoids it.

Onlangs verscheen het debuutalbum ‘Love and Affection' van het nieuwe project StipsGoulding, een samenwerking tussen Nederpop-icoon Robert Jan Stips en zangeres Jane Goulding. Robert Jan Stips bouwde in de afgelopen decennia een indrukwekkend oeuvre op met legendarische bands als Nits, Supersister, Sweet d'Buster en Golden Earring. Presentatie: Frénk van der Linden

"Dear woman, here is your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." John 19:26-27 Amid the unthinkable anguish of Calvary, the Lord Jesus paused--not to relieve His own suffering, but to care for another. With thorns piercing His brow and breath growing short, He fixed His eyes upon His mother. To Mary, He said, "Dear woman, here is your son." To John, "Here is your mother." In the very act of redemption, He demonstrated tender affection and perfect obedience. This scene is rich in divine beauty. At the height of His suffering, Christ was not absorbed in Himself. Though He was bearing the full wrath of God for the sins of His people, He was not forgetful of the needs of His earthly mother. The law He came to fulfill commanded, "Honor your father and your mother" (Exodus 20:12), and even from the cross, the sinless Son rendered full obedience. Though Mary had no claim upon Him as Savior above any other, yet as her Son, He provided for her with holy compassion. What love is this? He who sustains the universe ensures the earthly care of one widow. He who was forsaken by the Father does not forsake His mother. He Who was giving His life for the Church did not overlook the needs of one aged saint. Here is the heart of Christ--tender, attentive, selfless. Let every believer draw comfort from this: if the Lord showed such affection in His darkest hour, will He not now--glorified and enthroned--care for His own? "Casting all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). Christ is not indifferent to your sorrow, your loneliness, or your need. He who appointed John to care for Mary appoints all your circumstances with wisdom and love. And let this word o

Have you ever asked yourself: "If I could talk to my younger self, what vital lessons would I share about fatherhood?" "Is my 'tough guy' exterior actually holding me back from truly connecting with my kids?" "What does it really mean to lead my family with emotional authenticity?" If these questions resonate, get ready for an unfiltered, insight-packed conversation that hits at the very heart of modern fatherhood: modeling emotional openness, prioritizing genuine connection, and reimagining what leadership truly looks like at home. Today, Larry Hagner sits across the table from his son Ethan Hagner. Their deeply touching exchange is a powerful reminder of how universal the struggles of growing up and parenting really are, driven by Larry's determination to provide a steady, affectionate home—a stark contrast to his own chaotic upbringing. Become the best husband and leader you can: www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this unfiltered, insight-packed conversation, we dig into: Asking for Help as a Strength: Why vulnerability and reaching out for support are ultimate acts of courage, challenging the traditional "tough guy" parenting narrative. Empathy Over Solutions: Ethan shares his journey learning to be a better listener, especially in his relationship with his girlfriend, recognizing that people often want understanding and empathy more than immediate fixes. The Power of Authentic Connection: Larry and Ethan emphasize that genuine presence and open communication are direct drivers of influence in the home, making attempts to motivate or discipline kids far more effective. The "Marriage-First" Household: A candid discussion on the profound difference a strong, loving parental relationship makes in children's development and present-day family life, even if it means "grossing the kids out with love." Don't Hold It In: The crucial message to express pain, stress, and affection openly, allowing your family to see the full, real you for true psychological safety and peace. This episode offers profound wisdom and practical takeaways for any dad looking to build a legacy of emotional health and connection. Here's what research and observation highlight about emotional openness in families: Children raised in homes with high parental emotional openness report a 35% increase in emotional intelligence and resilience. Parental modeling of asking for help is correlated with a 40% higher likelihood of children seeking support when needed, reducing feelings of isolation. Families in which parents prioritize and visibly demonstrate a strong marriage report children with 25% higher levels of emotional security and social adjustment. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

This past Sunday we heard from Bill Hayes. Bill reminded us the truth that we are the object of God's affection. In 1 Kings 19 we are told about how the prophet Elijah fell into deep despair right after he had experienced an incredible victory. There are going to be times in our lives when our emotions are not a solid indicator of our situation, and in those moments we need to cling to the truths of God's word that tells us a truer and better story.

If I sliced your heart open, would I find an inclination to LOVE the Lord?Consider your LOVE. If it is poor, then CONSIDER the discipline of the Lord.Seriously, if our AFFECTION is poor, then consider His DISCIPLINES.Then, Let this consideration of His disciplines inform the conduct of our LOVE.Subscribe, for we can only do this when it is today.https://youtu.be/2QLWzxzA_CQ

The Power of a Father's Blessing and Affection - Mike Hudgins 6.15.2025 https://vccgn.org/s/2506Fathers.pdf Continue reading →

In this episode of Encouraging Prayer, James Banks and Robby Dilmore, discuss praying with affection.

“For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.” - 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12With Father's Day approaching, we're asking a deeper question: What kind of legacy are we leaving as men, as dads, and as stewards of what God has entrusted to us? Jonathan Lewis from Fathers for Fathers joins us to talk about fatherhood, faith, and the financial discipleship that shapes generations.Jonathan Lewis is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA®), a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA®), and President of Eastport Financial Group Inc. He is also the founder of Fathers for Fathers, a faith-based organization dedicated to restoring hope, healing, and purpose in the lives of men, especially fathers. A Story RedeemedWhen Jonathan was 15, he experienced a trauma no child should face—dragging his father's lifeless body onto a beach in Nova Scotia after a drowning accident. That moment became a fracture point in his life, leading to years of instability, homelessness, guilt, and emotional isolation.But out of those ashes came clarity: a calling to reach other men who feel lost, alone, and ashamed. His ministry, Fathers for Fathers, is a direct response to the epidemic of fatherlessness and emotional isolation plaguing men today.The Epidemic Few Talk About84% of men say they don't have a single person they can talk to.Guys have been trained to withdraw, but we need each other. If you're listening and feel like you've failed as a father, or you don't even have the strength to keep going, you're not alone. You can do this, but not by yourself.The solution is community and accountability. And for men who do have a support system, pursue others. Don't take the first 12 ‘no's as a brush-off. Broken men want to be pursued. They're just afraid.What Does Faithful Fatherhood Look Like?So, what does it mean to be a successful father?First, if you're still breathing, your story isn't over. You haven't missed your chance.Using a football analogy from Fathers for Fathers' upcoming study, life can be described as a game we're all born into—on the wrong team. But we don't have to stay there. Through Jesus Christ, we're invited to join the winning team. But it requires repentance, humility, and a willingness to fight.And it often starts with small steps.Practical Steps Toward RestorationFor divorced dads and those estranged from their children, you may think there's no way back. But there is. If you're not in your kids' lives, start. If you haven't supported their mom, own it. If you've been battling secret sin—confess it.These are hard words, but they're spoken with deep compassion. God will honor you when you honor Him. This ministry isn't about beating men up. It's about helping them get back in the game.Stewardship Starts at HomeStewardship isn't just about money. If you're generous with your wealth but not your love or your time, you've missed the point.Stewardship begins with the way a man loves and leads his family, especially his wife. When reading Ephesians 5, men might say, ‘I'd take a bullet for my wife.' But Christ calls us to something harder: dying to ourselves daily.Stewardship, then, is about priorities: honoring God with your money, your time, your attention, and your affection.A Prayer for DadsIf you're a father or a man who feels discouraged, who is ready for more, and who is just hanging on. Pray this out loud:“Lord, I pray that Your Spirit would touch the heart of the man listening who thinks he's too far gone. Remind him that nothing can separate us from Your love, not even failure. Let him know Jesus already put on the jersey for him. I pray for courage, for repentance, and for grace. Thank you for the scandalous grace that says You would've sent Jesus for just one man. You sent Him for all of us.”If you're a father who feels broken, or if you know one, visit FathersForFathers.org. You'll find tools, encouragement, and a brotherhood of men committed to healing and hope.This Father's Day, let's not just celebrate the dads who've done it right. Let's rally around the men who are trying to get it right, one step at a time.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm curious about nursing home costs and what happens to my parents' assets. I learned that Medicare covers limited skilled nursing care, and Medicaid restricts asset access, meaning my siblings and I likely won't be able to access their money while they're in a nursing home.I'm currently working and planning to retire soon. How could I invest in ways that align with my faith and ensure I'm not supporting companies that go against my beliefs?I wanted clarification on fixed indexed annuities. I wasn't familiar with them and wanted to understand if they were a good investment option.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Fathers For FathersList of Faith-Based Investment FundsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Let me know your thoughts about the podcast. Thank you for listening!Ever wondered why some marriages flourish while others falter? The answer might be simpler than you think. Discover the transformative power of four fundamental principles that can revolutionize your relationship.Affection goes far beyond physical touch. When you speak affectionately to your spouse – keeping your voice gentle even during disagreements – you create a pattern that they naturally mirror back to you. Those subtle gestures, like a light touch while passing in the kitchen or leaning in slightly when standing together, often strengthen your bond more profoundly than grand romantic gestures. These small moments of connection, nearly invisible to others, build the foundation of intimacy that sustains relationships through challenges.By intentionally practicing these Four A's – Affection, Appreciation, Awareness, and Attention – you create the conditions for a marriage neither partner would dream of leaving. These principles aren't complicated, but their consistent application transforms ordinary relationships into extraordinary ones. Ready to revolutionize your connection? Start with these four simple words and watch your relationship flourish in ways you never imagined possible. Subscribe now to continue learning practical strategies that strengthen your most important relationship.

Our pilgrim must move beyond the mystical tree on the sixth terrace of Mount Purgatory. So he sets off behind Virgil and Statius, only to overtaken by a group of cadaverous, skeletal penitents, whose hollow eyes watch the pilgrim's slower journey.This passage is an interesting set of problems: low stylists which end up with Ovidian references, all tied up in the very real medieval problem of starvation.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through this passage of camaraderie, mentorship, and growing affection on the terrace of gluttony.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[01:13] My English translation of the passage: PURGATORIO, Canto XXIII, lines 1 - 27.

The affections and passions are frequently spoken of as the same; and yet, in the more common use of speech, there is in some respect a difference. Affection is a word, that, in its ordinary signification, seems to be something more extensive than passion, being used for all vigorous lively actings of the will or inclination; but passion is used for those that are more sudden, and whose effects on the animal spirits are more violent, the mind being more overpowered, and less in its own command.

1Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. 2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. 4For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.5Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

Part of why Coming & Going feels like a quiet revolution of a film is the manner that Andy presents vulnerability, loneliness, and tenderness on screen. 'Baby, you are gonna miss that plane' is what Julie Delpy said to Ethan Hawke as she danced in the climax of Before Sunset, creating one of cinemas finest romantic moments. Andy pulls from the echo of that scene, creating the pivotal moment within Coming & Going with a scene that has Harry taking a guitar off the wall and playing a song for Julian, gifting his momentary boyfriend lyrics and a tune that will exist only in that moment and only for him. Moments. They're what memories are made out of. They're anchor points in time which we stare endlessly at as we walk backwards into the future, its impact having forever changed how we form new memories in our present.Part of why Coming & Going feels like a quiet revolution of a film is the manner that Andy presents vulnerability, loneliness, and tenderness on screen.

'Baby, you are gonna miss that plane' is what Julie Delpy said to Ethan Hawke as she danced in the climax of Before Sunset, creating one of cinemas finest romantic moments. Andy pulls from the echo of that scene, creating the pivotal moment within Coming & Going with a scene that has Harry taking a guitar off the wall and playing a song for Julian, gifting his momentary boyfriend lyrics and a tune that will exist only in that moment and only for him. Moments. They're what memories are made out of. They're anchor points in time which we stare endlessly at as we walk backwards into the future, its impact having forever changed how we form new memories in our present.This is a beautiful conversation, one that's fuelled with tenderness, love for the craft, and love for love. I'm grateful for Andy's time with this discussion, and I look forward to seeing his creative positivity flourish throughout his filmmaking career.Coming & Going screens in the 'I Know Who You Did Last Summer' shorts package on 29 May 2025 at the Inside Out Festival in Canada.

God views sex in marriage as something sacred. Not only is sex in marriage sacred, but it's something that should sizzle. The foundation for sacred sex that sizzles is friendship and trust. Four things every man wishes his wife knew: 1) My sex drive is powerful, persistent, and normal. 2) Sex is how I bond with my wife emotionally and feel intimacy. 3) Sizzling sex reassures me of my masculinity and gives me confidence in every area of life. 4) Real sexual fulfillment for me is impossible unless I can sexually fulfill you! Four things every woman wishes her husband knew: 1) The most powerful sexual organ in my body is my mind. Sex for a woman is 90% mental. 2) For you to satisfy me as my lover begins long before we get in bed. Being a great lover is a lifestyle! 3) I need time to warm up. 4) Affection is to me what sex is to you—and the one empowers the other. How to improve your sexual intimacy and experience sacred and sizzling sex in marriage… 1) Process - Talk openly, honestly, and compassionately as a couple. 2) Practice - Get lots of practice and have patience with each other. 3) Pray - Pray together for God to give you a satisfying sex life! Intimacy is born out of trust and transparency. When you foster these things with your spouse, you will experience sacred and sizzling sex! Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares lessons from the Song of Solomon on love and intimacy in marriage.

In today's world, where social isolation and disconnection are on the rise, the importance of human touch cannot be overstated. When we're deprived of nurturing touch, it can have a profound impact on our physical and emotional well-being, leading to what's commonly known as "touch starvation." This somatic crisis can manifest in a range of ways, from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and fatigue. In this video, we'll explore the somatic impact of not being held and the role that therapeutic touch can play in our emotional healing. We'll delve into the science behind social touch and its effects on our mental health, and discuss nurturing practices that can help us reconnect with ourselves and others. By examining the connection crisis and its effects on our bodies and minds, we can begin to heal and cultivate deeper, more meaningful relationships. Join us as we explore the power of touch and its potential to transform our lives. Key takeaways: - Touch is a biological need, not a luxury. - Safe touch is essential for emotional well-being. - Affection deprivation can lead to depression and anxiety. - Recognising signs of touch deprivation is crucial. - Self-soothing practices can help meet the need for touch. - Quality of touch is more important than quantity. - It's okay to want to be held and connected. - Cultural conditioning often leads to touch deprivation. - Touch is vital for co-regulation and safety. - You are not alone in your need for connection.

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. Have you ever found yourself wondering how you spent an entire day feeling completely exhausted yet somehow accomplished "nothing"? The mental load you're carrying might be the answer, and you're not alone in feeling its weight.In this candid exploration of mental load, I dive into Dr. Morgan Cutlip's illuminating book "A Better Share" and unpack the hidden burden that many of us—especially mothers—carry silently every day. This isn't just about completing tasks; it's about the constant cognitive, physical, and emotional labor that goes into managing a household and caring for everyone within it.What exactly makes mental load so exhausting? It's the "triple threat" combination of cognitive tasks (the endless to-do lists), physical responsibilities (housework and errands), and emotional labor (managing everyone's feelings and needs) that creates an overwhelming burden. Research shows women typically shoulder all three simultaneously, while men primarily carry cognitive load concentrated in their work environment.The most revealing insight might be understanding what each partner truly needs. Women generally desire to be Pursued, Appreciated, and have a Reliable partner (PAR), while men typically seek Peace, Affection, and Respect (PAR). When mental load isn't shared effectively, both partners end up with unmet needs, creating cycles of resentment and disconnection.This conversation isn't about assigning blame—it's about recognizing a scientifically documented imbalance affecting countless relationships. By understanding mental load and learning to communicate about it honestly, we can create partnerships where both people feel seen, valued, and properly supported. Join me next week for practical strategies on managing mental load as a team and involving children appropriately in household responsibilities.A Better Share by Dr. Morgan Cutlip:https://amzn.to/4itJm6YJOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/
