Turn meditation from something you do into something you live. Sign up for Michael's 5-week course, "Meditation 2.0: The Evolution of Consciousness," here: https://agapemasterclass.com/meditation-2-0/. Today, Michael sits down with Tannaz Hosseinpour — relationship coach, registered psychotherapist, and host of Minutes on Growth. Tannaz integrates psychology and spirituality to help people build safe, healthy relationships through nervous-system regulation, inner-child and parts work, and practical communication skills. Her approach is deeply somatic and heart-centered, showing how breath, micro-practices, and community restore wholeness and belonging. Conversation Highlights: -What mind–body–soul integration really looks like in daily life—and why healing is less about suppressing pain and more about gently clearing what the body has been carrying   -How a painful back flare-up in the middle of grieving became a wake-up call, revealing that unprocessed emotion can settle into our tissues, and how somatic practices help it move again   -Why connecting with others in person helps regulate the nervous system, allowing us to feel seen, safe, and part of something bigger than our worries -One-minute micro-practices—pause, breathe, stretch, check-in—that make stillness feel safe and keep you steady when life gets loud -A simple 4-in/8-out breath to stimulate the vagus nerve so the body can shift from "on guard" to "I'm okay" in real time   -Why thinking harder doesn't help when we're triggered, and how pausing to feel sensations brings the clear, wise part of the brain back online  -A kinder way to meet big feelings—dropping "good/bad" labels and listening for the message (boundaries, alignment, desire) each emotion is trying to deliver -How to say what you need without drama; using I-language, clear roadmaps, and timing conversations for when both people are regulated -A "same team vs. the problem" approach to conflict so love stays at the center, even when opinions differ Finally, a closing guided meditation that pairs a gentle smile with paced breathing and silence to reset the system and carry gratitude into daily life.

In this message, "The Wise Heart, Kayla explore why the breakthrough we're seeking is rarely a matter of more information, but a matter of deeper alignment.

Agape love is far more demanding than songs, movies, or greeting cards suggest. It calls for self-denial and self-sacrifice — not sentimentality or feelings. Yet when we choose to love in this way, we walk in step with the Holy Spirit, learning to live out the greatest virtue of all.

Romans 12:18 Family of God #3 – Living as a Family Intro: Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. ‘ John Nolland To build a city on a hill is a piece of assertiveness. It expresses a certain confidence and a claim to importance, and flags a desire on the part of the inhabitants to play a wider role in human affairs. People who want to live a quiet and secluded life build their cities tucked out of sight in the hope that they won't be noticed. The Gospel of Matthew: a commentary on the Greek text Homes were lit with small terra-cotta oil-burning lamps. These could be carried around when required, but would normally sit on a stand conveniently located to provide a basic level of illumination for the whole dwelling (this is possible because the homes in mind consisted of single rooms, as was typically the case with Palestinian homes of the period). Lighting a lamp in order to hide it under the something is as senseless as thinking that a city built on a hill can be kept from the sight of those who pass by. In order to fulfill their nature, those who are the light of the world must be prepared to be located in places of clear visibility. This is all about a mission perspective. The outcome is that people are impressed by what God is currently doing. Our city is broken by sin, and the God-designed role of the family has been fractured.Because of this, our church must be a visible, living example of what it means to live as a family the way God intended—so people can find a place to belong that glorifies Jesus and points them to Him. Get ready to be visible! This is not to scare you but to make you realize that with Jesus, you are different from the average person! You do stand out! BUT Luke 8:16-17 ‘ “Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. ‘ If I come into your house and you have most of the lights off in an attempt to hide the mess, it's still visible, even if you don't think so. If our church is hiding sin or not following the commands of Jesus, it will come to light! Perfection is not the goal here but rather, reliance on God and our church family so that others learn to do the same! What fruit do we want evident in our church? Fruit: Love! Agape: selfless, sacrificial love John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Philippians 2:2-4 ‘Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. ‘ Fruit: Unity: Harmony within a community (family) John 13:34′ Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. ‘ Romans 12:18 ‘Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. ‘ Does not mean we have to be everyone's best friend or even like everyone. How do we do this as individuals? (we are family, made up as individuals, what the individual does, affects the whole family) How do we live as a family: Believe the best Currently people are suspicious, always wondering others motives (from a negative view) Family should be in a posture of grace Colossians 3:13 – ‘Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. ‘ DEF: The amount that something is permitted. Sewing definition : a built-in buffer for errors and future alterations, giving you “wiggle room” to make garments bigger or smaller”. Colossians 3:13 says allowances for faults, not sin. But sometimes, when we are hurting, we can equate someone’s faults with sin. Why? ‘“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? ‘Jeremiah 17:9 In contrast 1 Cor. 13:4a – Love is patient, love is kind. (gives allowance) If we do not do this and suspicion settles into our spirit then it's like: 1 Cor. 13.1 – ‘If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. What settles in your heart starts to come out in your conversation! How do we give allowance? Pray for the person! In the moment On your own Ask the Holy Spirit if your heart is deceiving you BONUS: What if it is sin? Matthew 18 – go to them! First!!!!!! I have seen this broken so many times. It is incredibly divisive! It is the opposite of unity! More later Watch our words Watch our language (my bible tiles this section as “living as children of the light” Ephesians 4:29 – 32 – ‘Don't use foul or abusive language. Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander Watch our motives Are we believing the best or trying to comfort our own soul and wrong thinking? Are we believing the lies? From our past, our enemy etc. Luke 6:45 – ‘A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. ‘ Don't gossip Bible “gossip” definition: whispering, tattling, spreading of secrets or rumors for the purpose of slander (which has to do with what I want/need) The Social Issues Research Centre found that 55 percent of men's conversation and 67 percent of women's conversation involve gossip. Research shows that women are more likely to participate in gossip than men Romans 1:29 – gossip is evil Gossip phrases “What do you think about…, did you hear, did you notice…” The gossip prayer request If you hear these phrases this is how we should respond Please stop talking about that. I don't want to gossip. Sounds like you are hurt. Have you prayed about that? Is this about a sin issue in their life? (Matthew 18) How to help with Matthew 18… Why is gossip so serious? It brings pain to the person It is a way for us to feel “better” than someone else” (by pointing out their “flaws”) This is the opposite of Agape, what we want to produce in our church. It brings divisiveness and disunity, the opposite of the unity Christ wants for his Bride! Encourage 1 Thess. 5:11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. Listen! James 1:19 – ‘Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. ‘ Listen to learn Listen to love Listen to serve Agree to disagree Serve one another ‘God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. ‘ 1 Peter 4:10 Honor one another Romans 12:10 – ‘Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. If you are struggling with these things (unity, love, gossip, listening, honoring etc. it is a sign of heart issues. Wrong thoughts Unhealed past Unforgiveness Bitterness 8. Prayer to pray: ‘Holy Spirit, please point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life and may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord , my rock and my redeemer.’ (Psalm 139:24, Psalm 19:14) Why does all this matter? How we treat each other as a family determines if others want to be a part of our church and how people view Jesus! As this church grows, whatever WE are will determine what the church will be in the future! What does the word say? Matthew 5:16 – Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven. John 13:34-35 ‘So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” ‘ Romans 15:5-6 ‘May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ‘

Sign up for Michael's 5-week course, "Meditation 2.0: The Evolution of Consciousness," starting January 20th: https://agapemasterclass.com/meditation-2-0/.  Today, our first letter comes from Shah: After years of healing from a painful breakup, Shah finally felt whole again—only to enter a new "meant to be" relationship that ended in betrayal. She wants to know how can she break the pattern, release the pain, and call in a love that's loyal, secure, and committed? Our next letter comes from Aneesah: Aneesah has been devoted to her spiritual practice for years, yet keeps cycling through job loss, depression, and financial uncertainty—and she feels like God is silent. She asks how to embody abundance and purpose when she's never truly felt them, and why she keeps ending up back in heartbreak and lack.  Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation on becoming deeply aligned with our True Nature. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind?

As a new year dawns, Michael invites you to move beyond resolutions into intentional living—shifting from force to frequency, cultivating curiosity over willpower, and aligning with the field of infinite possibilities already within you! Today's show blends clear practices—reviewing the year, decluttering to create space, redefining prosperity, and the powerful tools of Life VisioningTM—culminating in a guided meditation to "wake up to your glorious nature" and carry peace, gratitude, and luminosity into 2026. Highlights Include: Framing intention as alignment with your next great vision and version (not self-fixing resolutions) Setting assumptions that your good is already within and let alignment, not pressure, unfold it  Life shifts by frequency, not through force—willingness raises vibration and opens the way Asking yourself: "What's emerging?" "What does self-love/prosperity/health feel like?" Then act from that feeling Avoiding the vision-less "leaf on the wind;" community with intention lifts your frequency Stop sourcing your identity from consumer culture; align with infinite possibilities within  True Prosperity = all needs met and contribution; begin with the qualities of love, peace, creativity, etc. first  Review the year and release draining habits and stuff. Decluttering = liberation, not loss Catch your true vision and re-author old narratives; the miracle is the inner shift  Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on establishing intentions, feeling your wholeness now, and radiating luminosity into your day. ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind?

In this Christmas special, Alyson and Breht reinterpret Jesus through Jewish mysticism, Christian contemplative traditions, and Buddhist conceptions of Enlightenment, offering an understanding of his teachings and words as attempts to articulate the ineffable and non-dual, rather than metaphysical propositions to be believed. Drawing heavily on the Gospels, the Gospel of Thomas, the Christian concept of Agape, and early Christian scholarship, they explore the possibility of a Christianity beyond fear, hell, and conceptual belief -- one rooted in a radical transformation of consciousness, a revolutionary confrontation with injustice everywhere, and an embodied love for all creation. Merry Christmas.  ---------------------------------------------------- Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio https://revleftradio.com/

Advent E4 — We're ending our short Advent series with a reflection on love. In the Hebrew Bible, the word “ahavah” involves faithfulness to God and living by his wisdom, but it also means showing practical care to others—especially the vulnerable. Jesus views this love for God and neighbor as the greatest command, and he expands it to be indiscriminate, radical kindness and generosity even toward our enemies. The New Testament authors were so blown away by this kind of love that they adopted an obscure Greek word for love, “agape,” and redefined it to be a self-giving, sacrificial love that Jesus demonstrates in his life, teaching, death, and resurrection. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the main biblical words for love, showing how the story of Advent characterizes agape as God's own essence and our calling. FULL SHOW NOTESFor chapter-by-chapter notes including summaries, referenced Scriptures, biblical words, and reflection questions, check out the full show notes for this episode.CHAPTERSThe Hebrew Bible's Understanding of Love (0:00–13:17)Agape and Jesus' Redefinition of Love (13:17–21:25)God Is Love (21:25–31:10)Reflections on Love With JoDee (31:10-36:12)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology by Nijay GuptaAhavah / Love: Though not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word ahavah.Agape / Love: Also not referenced directly in the episode, this 2017 video explores the same biblical word, agape.Check out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.SHOW MUSIC“Clouds ft. ahmo” by Lofi Sunday“Warm Hugs” by Lofi Sunday & Cassidy Godwin“Snowflakes” by AvesBibleProject theme song by TENTS SHOW CREDITSProduction of today's episode is by Lindsey Ponder, producer, and Cooper Peltz, managing producer.
