In 2 Kings 4, Elisha tells a desperate widow to go collect empty jars from her neighbors — and then adds four words that stop everything: don't ask for just a few. The oil kept flowing as long as there were jars. Her provision was not limited by God's supply. It was limited by what she was willing to ask for. Rachel's invitation to us today is both tender and bracing: stop bringing God the polite, hedged, edited version of your prayers. Bring Him the empty jars — all of them. If you're in a season where answers feel far away, Rachel wrote Desperate Prayers: Embracing the Power of Prayer in Life's Darkest Moments for just those kinds of seasons. Today's Bible Verse "Elisha said, 'Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for just a few.'"— 2 Kings 4:3, NIV Ponder Today A prayer that didn't come the way you hoped is not a signal to ask for less. Unanswered prayer in the way we expected is not evidence that God is done being good to us or that the full-size version of our request is too much to bring Him. Praying small is often fear dressed up as maturity. When we limit our requests to what feels reasonable or safe, we may be protecting our hearts from disappointment rather than exercising genuine faith. God invites the real prayer, not the polished one. Your provision is not limited by God's supply — it can be limited by what you are willing to ask for. The widow's oil stopped when the jars ran out. Elisha's instruction was to gather as many as possible. God is waiting for you to bring more jars. God's past faithfulness is the foundation for present boldness in prayer. The same God who kept a minivan running for fifteen years beyond its prime is the same God who multiplied oil for a widow with almost nothing. His character has not changed. Bring Him the dreams and desires you have been embarrassed to name out loud. The hopes you have been softening, the requests you have been hinting around — those are exactly what God is waiting to hear. He already knows. He wants you to bring them anyway. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I have been praying small. You know the prayer I am talking about — the big one from a while back that didn't come the way I hoped, and the way I have been hinting at it ever since. Forgive me for deciding what You can and cannot do based on one answer I didn't understand. Forgive me for calling my fear faith. Forgive me for bringing You the polite version of my prayers when You have been waiting for the real ones. Lord, I am bringing You the empty jars today — the hopes I have been softening because they feel too big, the dreams I have been embarrassed to name out loud anymore. Fill them however You want to fill them. I will trust You with the outcome the way I am finally trusting You with the ask. In Jesus' name, Amen.

The world is full of “what ifs” that can cause us to fear greatly. When we truly give our lives to God, we can find peace and rest in the fact that He holds our lives and nothing happens to us that He has not allowed and protected us through.

My wife and I were staying in this apartment at the Jersey shore for a weekend. We were going to save some money by cooking for ourselves. But, there was one small problem with the kitchen. We discovered it the first morning. We had this English muffin in the toaster. Suddenly I hear this high-pitched alarm in the kitchen. I went running out there. The smoke detector had gone off. Problem: There was no smoke, just a little English muffin cooking. It was just a little heat coming from across the room from the toaster. Oh, we got to hear that smoke alarm again several times while we were there. It was a very sensitive alarm. And the problem is because it would go off so often, guess what? Pretty soon you don't take it seriously any more. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about “Parents Afraid.” Our word for today from the Word of God is a great verse for anyone, but especially for parents in times like these. 2 Timothy 1:7 - “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and love and a sound mind.” You're not supposed to have a spirit of fear. See, fear-based decisions usually don't take us down the right road. Fear-based parenting usually backfires. If you're a parent today, there are a lot of things you could be afraid of for your children. They could be physically hurt, they could be spiritually hurt, or they can be infected by the moral pollution that's everywhere. They could lose their faith, they could rebel, or they could mess up sexually. Our kids can choose the wrong friends; they can make a romantic mistake. They can believe a sophisticated lie. Raising children in this kind of world, you could find yourself letting fear take over; especially if you see a warning sign in your son or daughter. But God hasn't given us a spirit of fear. He wants you to parent with a spirit of power and love and a sound mind. He wants you to parent positively, not with criticism and nagging and worrying and put downs or being overly possessive or protective. Those approaches usually help produce the very rebellion we were afraid of. When we parent out of fear, our alarm keeps going off all the time. Every incident, every negative comment from our child becomes a battleground. Maybe you see signs that you're becoming like that smoke detector; you're going off on everything. If you do, eventually you won't be taken seriously anymore, probably at just the point in your child's life when you really need to be taken seriously. You just can't afford to have your son or daughter saying, “The alarm, again?” Parents whose fear or negativism or perfectionism makes them sound off all the time tend to create rebels, because we create an immunity to a parental voice. And a child who is immune to mom or dad's voice is like an unguided missile. If you sense that your alarm's been going off too often, it's time to turn that around. It begins with an apology - asking your child to forgive you because of the nagging and the negative. Be honest with them about some of your fears for them. Tell them how much you believe in their potential and in their gifts and that you hate anything that might keep them from becoming all they were created to be. Be willing to be vulnerable with them. Be willing to need forgiving. You might be amazed how many walls that can bring down. Then choose your battlegrounds. Learn to analyze a conflict or a concern, and put them in one of two categories: major battle or minor battle. And then save your ammunition for the battles that really matter. Bite your tongue on the others. Before you talk to your child, talk to God about your child. Bring your fear and your anger and your frustration to God so you don't always have to dump it on your son or daughter. Give God time to work it out, and then jump in only as He prompts you to. Because of Christ in your life, you can parent with confidence, with authority and restraint. And then when your parent alarm goes off, your kids will respond. Just wait until there's real smoke from a real fire.

In ‘A Room of One's Own', Virginia Woolf writes about how radical it feels to read the sentences: ‘Chloe liked Olivia. They shared a laboratory together…'. Woolf probably didn't know the work of her contemporary Jean Rhys, but if she had read ‘A Voyage in the Dark' (1934), she might well have marvelled at, and even envied, its radical realism. Rhys' story of a young woman who moves from the Caribbean to England and enters a world of financial and sexual exploitation was drawn from experiences unavailable to Woolf. In this episode, James is joined by the biographer Miranda Seymour to discuss Rhys's virtuosity of technique and detachment, her extraordinary ear for dialogue and the places where her mastery of realist method gave way to modernism.

Today we're talking about FORO, the fear of running out. According to a new sweeping study from Corebridge Financial, Americans are nine times more likely to say they'd regret running out of money while they're alive than dying with a fortune left unspent. Now, you have probably spent years, maybe decades, doing everything right, putting money away. You're contributing to your 401k, maybe even maxing it, and you're watching the balance grow, and somewhere in the back of your mind you're telling yourself, "When I finally get there, I'm gonna enjoy this." But here's what a new study just uncovered, and it's one of the most surprising findings in retirement research in years: getting there may be considered the hard part, but spending the money once you do is actually harder for millions of Americans.These are people who've worked hard, they saved diligently, they made it to retirement, and now they're not spending. They're hoarding. They're restricting. They're eating out less. They're skipping the trip. They're holding back, not because they can't afford it, but because they're afraid. Afraid if they actually use what they saved, it might run out. To unpack what's driving this and what to do about it, we are joined by Brian Pinsky, President of Individual Markets at Corebridge Financial, one of the nation's largest providers of retirement solutions. He's also the executive behind this landmark research. And Jean Chatzky, a New York Times bestselling author, personal finance expert, one of the most trusted voices in America when it comes to helping real people make smart decisions with their money. She has partnered with Corebridge to turn these findings into an actionable playbook for retirement. We're gonna walk through what the data shows, why it matters, and what you can do right now, even if retirement is still years away, to make sure you don't fall into this trap.

You know what you want to say. You can feel it in your body. It doesn't feel good. Something is off. You want something different.And then… you don't say it.Not because you don't know how. Not because you haven't read the books or listened to the podcasts. But because in that moment, it feels risky.What if they get upset? What if they pull away? What if you lose them?In this episode, we're talking about what boundary setting actually looks like in real, everyday life… not the big, obvious, “cut them off” moments, but the small, quiet ones where it's just you, your body, and that split-second decision.We'll walk through:Why setting boundaries feels so hard (especially if you've been punished for it in the past)How your nervous system confuses present moments with past experiencesWhat to do in the moment when you feel yourself freeze or fawnWhy you don't have to get it right the first time (and how to take a “do-over”)How to tell the difference between unsafe people and uncomfortable momentsWhat it actually means to stay connected to yourself when it would be easier to abandon yourselfThis is not about perfect wording or getting it right on the spot.It's about learning to notice, trust, and act on what your body is already telling you… and staying with yourself, even when it's uncomfortable.Because that's the work.Connect + Continue the Work:If you're ready to practice this in real time, inside a space where you don't have to do it alone, you can join us in Mayhem Daughters, our online community for daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers.Or, if you're looking for language to help you say hard things, you can check out my guide: Simple Scripts for Saying Hard Things

What do you do when your faith feels strong one week and distant the next? In the Season 2 finale of Cornerstone Conversations, Pastor Josh Hersey answers honest questions about anxiety, depression, habitual sin, doubt, baptism, and what it means to trust Jesus when your feelings and circumstances are constantly changing. This Christian faith conversation explores how Philippians 4 speaks to anxiety, why confession and biblical community are essential for healing, how believers can bring difficult questions to God, and why doubt does not automatically mean your faith is failing. The conversation also examines baptism as a declaration of allegiance to Jesus, the lordship of Christ, and the question Jesus asked at the Pool of Bethesda: “Do you want to be healed?” Whether you are wrestling with doubt, struggling to break an old pattern, or trying to stay close to Jesus during a difficult season, this episode offers practical biblical encouragement for walking honestly with God.   New here or made a decision to follow Jesus today?

President Trump signed an executive order to lead the quantum race, but should the government be getting involved? Glenn says that while he understands President Trump's mission, he warns of what Democrats could do with quantum power should they get back in charge. Glenn reacts to Tucker Carlson's announcement yesterday that he was leaving the Republican Party. Glenn shares five stories that show the dangers of judging people based on race or group. Glenn tells a story from 1776 about American troops standing up to the Royal Navy and emerging victorious, just days before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Millions of barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. Will we finally see some relief at the gas pump? Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders, joins to discuss his book "Lives, Fortunes & Sacred Honor: The Signers of the Declaration," which tells the story of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence. As President Trump is hard at work cleaning the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, Democrats are somehow on the algae's side. Glenn reacts to Joy Reid saying she doesn't know any black people who are excited to celebrate the 4th of July.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What if the reason you don't feel confident when you walk into a room has less to do with what you're wearing—and more to do with the story you're telling yourself about who you are? In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with fashion stylist, entrepreneur, and business owner Jessica Papineau for a powerful conversation about confidence, identity, visibility, body image, and the way we show up in the world. Jessica helps high-performing women use clothing, fit, fabric, and intentional style to feel more confident in their bodies and more aligned with the person they know they're becoming. Her mission is simple but powerful: help women "suit up and show up" without hiding, shrinking, or apologizing for taking up space. But this episode is about so much more than fashion. Jessica shares her story of losing everything in 2011 and rebuilding from the ground up. She talks about working in a boutique for $10 an hour while on food stamps, feeling stuck, and eventually realizing she had a gift that was meant to be used in a bigger way. After hearing a message from Tony Robbins about stepping into your purpose, she decided to bet on herself. That decision changed everything. By December 2018, Jessica had doubled her income and eventually transitioned into her styling business full-time. Today, she serves clients through her curated boutique in Sarasota, virtual style boxes, look books, planning tools, podcasting, and coaching. We also dive into why so many successful women crave visibility but are still afraid to be seen. Jessica explains that often the fear isn't about the clothes—it's about not fully owning your story, your body, your past, or your vulnerability. We talk about comparison culture, self-worth, investing in quality pieces, and the small practices that can help you reconnect with who you are. Jessica also shares a few practical tips for men, including why a great belt and clean shoes can go a long way. Her definition of success today isn't just money or business growth. It's what she calls "the four": family, peace, and health. After experiencing burnout and walking through difficult seasons in her personal life, she has learned the importance of surrender, boundaries, and choosing yourself. In This Episode, We Discuss: How fashion and personal style can help you build confidence Why successful women often struggle with visibility and body shame The real reason people hide behind their clothes Jessica's journey from food stamps to entrepreneurship The Tony Robbins message that pushed her to bet on herself How to stop comparing yourself to everyone else Why quality and fit matter more than following trends Practical style advice for women, entrepreneurs, speakers, and men How voice notes and journaling can unlock creative ideas Redefining success around family, peace, health, and purpose The personal growth lessons Jessica learned through hardship This episode is a reminder that confidence is not something you wait for. It's something you practice. And sometimes, one of the simplest ways to start is by deciding to show up as the person you already know you're becoming.

Being seen means being judged. In this episode, Alissa lays out why that's not a reason to stay small, and what it actually takes to let other people have an opinion of you without losing yourself in it.For HSPs, this isn't just a confidence issue. It's energetic. You feel it when someone misreads you, when a comment lands sideways, when the room shifts after you share something you're proud of. The instinct is to pull back, smooth it over, or shrink to keep the peace. Alissa pulls from her own experience, including a pointed DM from a stranger who made it clear she wasn't a fan, and from a client who just hit a major life milestone and immediately felt the weight of other people's reactions. In this episode, you'll learn:Why being judged is actually a sign you're doing something that mattersThe "zoomed out lens": how to observe someone's reaction without taking it on as your ownWhat it really means to allow someone the dignity of their own experience, including their jealousy or discomfort with your successPractical energy-clearing techniques for releasing what doesn't belong to youWhy dimming yourself to protect other people's feelings costs you more than it saves themUncover your sneaky internal belief that's stopping you from being your most confident self TAKE The FREE Shadow Archetype Quiz NOWLearn my 6-step process for managing & neutralizing your triggers as an HSP in our FREE UN-Botherable Workshop!Join the Not Too Sensitive Club

Sermon for June 21, 2026

Senator Jon Ossoff recently walked into Beulah Missionary Baptist Church in Decatur, Georgia, opened the Book of Amos, and delivered one of the most theologically precise speeches I've heard from any political figure in years. In 8 minutes and 41 seconds, he did what MAGA pastors with massive platforms and full-time theology staffs refuse to do: name the corruption, place it in a 3,000-year-old prophetic tradition, and connect it to the suffering of real people in real zip codes. Ossoff is not pandering. He's not decorating a political speech with Bible verses. He's doing exegesis — and he's doing it in front of a Black Baptist congregation with a 60-year covenant to the civil rights movement. That matters theologically.

Fireside Chat Ep. 190 — Afraid to Debate? originally aired on June 10th, 2021 In a recent Fireside Chat, Dennis reacted to John Oliver’s Middle East commentary and invited him to debate at a time and place of his choosing. Predictably, he has not accepted. Why? Because the left would rather mock and smear than have an honest debate.

Anna Kepner's ex-boyfriend says she was scared of her stepbrother. She slept at friends' houses to avoid being around him. Hudson's own step-grandmother went on national television and called the family cruise “a recipe for disaster” — and said the parents should be held accountable. Three teenagers who weren't raised together were put in a single cabin on a ship in international waters.The question everyone is asking is the one the Crumbley case made possible: can parents be held criminally responsible for what their child allegedly did? The Crumbley parents were convicted for ignoring documented warning signs. The evidence emerging in the Kepner case suggests the warning signs may have been just as clear.But there's a wall. The Carnival Horizon flies a Panamanian flag. This happened outside any state's jurisdiction. There is no federal contributing-to-delinquency statute. If there's no law on the books that covers the parents' alleged decisions, the comparison to the Crumbleys stops at the courthouse door.Meanwhile, the judge who released Hudson in February just reversed himself. Sealed evidence filed June 8 moved Magistrate Judge Torres to order detention, writing that Hudson could “snap at any time” and that his alleged conduct suggests “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse.”Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and Robin Dreeke examine what moved the judge, whether proving Anna was afraid of Hudson changes the legal picture for parental charges, and what the road to trial looks like now that Hudson is behind bars.Timothy Hudson, sixteen, is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

June 21, 2026. 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time homily by Fr. Matt Lowry about how Jesus implores us not to be afraid because we know the Father's care for us.

Matthew 10: 24-39Thank You for listening!Follow us onFacebookInstagramYouTubeWebsiteYou can contact us at office@newcovenantaz.orgMaking Jesus Christ the Heart of Every Home.

What Are You Really Afraid Of? | Matthew 10:26-33 | Pastor Nick ScheskeFear rarely shows up looking like fear. It shows up as stress, frustration, the need for everyone to like you, the need for everything to go according to plan. In this message from Matthew 10, Jesus addresses the disciples before sending them out and he tells them three times: Don't be afraid. Not because fear isn't real. Because fear has more of a hold on us than we think.We look at three layers Jesus exposes: the fear of what people think, the fear of what we might lose, and what it actually looks like to live from a different foundation. The question isn't whether you have fear. The question is what fear has a hold of you.

When my back is against the wall and I'm out of options, what I really believe about God gets exposed. The Israelites found that out fast, pinned between the Red Sea and an army with nowhere to run. But notice what God told them in Exodus 14:15: quit crying out, quit circling the problem, and move. He didn't take them around the thing they feared. He took them through it. And that's usually where the miracle is, on the other side of the one step we keep refusing to take. So what's the thing you've been too afraid to step toward, and what would it look like to expect God's help and move today?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

"I didn't expect you to call me out on that." Zas and Jeremy are apoplectic with the National media as they try to will Giannis Antetokounmpo to Boston and bash not only the Heat's offer to Milwaukee, but also how good the Heat would be with a pairing of Antetokounmpo and Ade-debayo. Plus, it's time to reflect on the magisterial play of Lionel Messi. Today's cast: Dan, Greg, Zaslow, Roy, Chris, Jeremy, and Tony. Learn more about your ad choices.

The truth is, there are very few resources to help parents in this situation. Journalist Julie Brenner Davich spoke to some parents struggling with this issue for her New York Magazine piece "The Quiet Shame of Fearing Your Own Child." She explains her reporting, and listeners share their own experiences.  Stock image from SolStock/iStock via Getty Creative Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Juli sits down with bestselling author Gary Thomas for a conversation about some of the subtle lies Christians often believe without even realizing it. They're tackling tough questions , like: Can family become an idol? Why do we still struggle with sin after coming to Christ? And what happens when loneliness and isolation become our normal? While this conversation isn't specifically about sexuality, how we answer these questions shapes the way we approach our relationships.
