August 25, 2026Today's Reading: Isaiah 29:17-24Daily Lectionary: 1 Kings 7:51-8:21; 2 Corinthians 3:1-18“Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest? In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel. For the ruthless shall come to nothing and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off, who by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right. Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: ‘Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale. For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. And those who go astray in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction.'” (Isaiah 29:17–24)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.We live in the midst of a fruitful Lebanon. The First day of the Lord has come, and the prophet Isaiah spoke the words of God that would come to pass. The Gospel for this week was opening the ears of the deaf man. That man was healed, and he heard the words of Christ; he heard the Word of God speaking to him. We can also look at other places in Jesus' ministry and see him fulfilling this prophecy. Between putting down scoffers to the meek obtaining fresh joy, Jesus does it all. However, all of those miracles pale in comparison to the fulfillment of verses 22-24. This is where the effects of Jesus' mission on earth come to pass.Christ comes and sanctifies Jacob. Jesus' unblemished life, death, and resurrection take the shame of Jacob away. When Jacob sees his children, the work of God's hands, in his midst, they will sanctify God's name. Because of Jesus's work of salvation, not only are we made righteous before God, but God's name is sanctified as well. Yahweh dwells with his people and brings his people back to Himself. The relationship has been restored between God and man. Christ is the fulfillment of the prophets and is the fulfillment of the first prophecy made to Eve in the Garden. Jesus is the one to crush the head of the serpent forever. We live in the victory of Christ until he comes again to bring us to be with him for all eternity.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Anoint them prophets, men who are intent. To be Your witnesses in word and deed, their hearts aflame, their lips made eloquent. Their eyes awake to every human need. (LSB 682:2)Jonah Clausen, seminary student at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne.

John 18:3 “Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.” This verse describes some of the events referred to in Acts 4:27. From a God-centered, faith-informed perspective, God was gathering this crowd against His Son. Judas, the Romans soldiers, and Jewish officials were needed for the love of God to be displayed in its glory. We should understand that God put them in Jesus' path so He could express the love of the Father to this world. We may have this same confidence. God is still expressing His love in this world through His Son in us. He puts people in our paths, some friendly and some antagonists. Knowing that the only reason they are in our lives is for God to love them through us, keeps us from stumbling and being discouraged. Jesus' perspective of this event will sound radical to the natural mind, because it is! He received them as from His Father so He could do the will of His Father for His glory. He knew these things were to occur so God's love could be defined, experienced, and expressed, not only in and through Him, but in and through everyone of His disciples throughout the remaining history of mankind. So it is with us today. God is gathering people all over the world to put them in the path of the Son of His love who lives in millions of His own throughout the world. With this understanding, I invite you to pray what I call a Live to Love prayer with me now. “Father in heaven, thank You for another day of life to live to know and love you and live to love with Jesus. Anoint and fill me with the Holy Spirit, the presence and power of Christ, so that I can love and trust You and love everyone You put in my path today, for Your glory.” I hope you'll make this prayer a part of your daily devotions with the Lord. If you do, you'll have the same attitude that was in Christ Jesus as He walked into the garden of Gethsemane: humble, trusting, expectant, fearless, purposeful, and loving. That light shines like the sun in the darkness. Acknowledgment: Music from “Carried by the Father” by Eric Terlizzi. www.ericterlizzi.com

What does it actually take to stand firm when life gets hard? Not just to survive difficulty, but to move through it with genuine strength, purpose, and joy? We continue our adventure into one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture, Psalm 23, and in verse 5 we encounter an unexpected shift from the image of a shepherd leading sheep to the image of a generous host welcoming a guest to a lavishly prepared table. That shift is intentional and profound. The table God prepares is not a quick, forgettable meal. It is a feast of belonging, set before us even in the presence of our enemies, even when the world around us is hostile or indifferent. In the ancient Near East, sharing a meal carried enormous social and spiritual weight. To be welcomed to someone's table was to be affirmed, dignified, and claimed. And this is precisely what God does for us. He looks us in the eyes and says we belong, that we are deeply loved, that we can draw real and lasting strength from his presence. Jesus embodied this truth throughout his ministry, consistently choosing the table as the place where the kingdom of God broke through most visibly. For us today, the invitation stands. There is a source of inner strength available to us that no circumstance can permanently extinguish, and it is found in returning again and again to the presence of the One who has prepared a place for us.

Pastor Kurt takes a deep dive into Luke 7:36–50, where a woman known publicly as a sinner enters the home of Simon the Pharisee and honors Jesus with her tears, kisses, and costly ointment. Simon judges her by her reputation, but Jesus interprets her actions as reverence flowing from a heart that understands forgiveness.

Curtis gives his lead for the morning and pours one out for Alex Cora. Was he was right all along about Marcelo Mayer and was it a mistake to anoint Anthony, Mayer and Campbell as the big three?

Lord, Anoint My Hands to Build! I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So, they began this good work. Nehemiah 2:18 Have you ever felt like you were standing amidst rubble, unsure of where to start rebuilding your life? Like Nehemiah, who surveyed the desolate walls of Jerusalem, we sometimes find ourselves in broken places, overwhelmed by what seems impossible. Yet, God whispers to our hearts, inviting us to rise, to act, to build anew. This journey is not ours alone; it requires divine anointing and powerful hands. In Nehemiah 2:18, the call resounds: “Let us arise and build!” This is more than a mere invitation; it's a divine command. Just as God filled Bezalel with the Spirit to craft beauty in Exodus 31:3-5, He grants us favor and skill to transform our personal landscapes. When we partner with Him, our hands become instruments of His divine purpose. Let us remember: “Favor opens; skill sustains.” Exodus 31:3-5 says, "I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts." Reflect on your own life — perhaps there are dreams stalled amidst the ruins. How can you invite God into your planning? Each small step, prayerful and intentional, is a building block. Proverbs reminds us that “Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings.” Ask the Spirit of wisdom to fill your hands with skill and your heart with courage, enabling you to craft what He has shown you. As we move forward, let us embody the spirit to pray and ask boldly for the anointing that rebuild. May the Lord, bless our efforts; May our hands be tools for reconciliation, restoration, and love. Remember, each brick laid in faith is a testament to His glory. Imagine the walls that rise around us, strong and fortified, as we build stone by stone, guided by divine blueprints. Amen. Proverbs 18:16 says, "A man's gift opens doors for him, and brings him before great men." Amen. Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, thank You for Your vision in the midst of chaos. Spirit of wisdom, fill my hands with skill and my heart with courage to build what You've shown me. Spirit of wisdom, fill my hands with skill, my mind with clarity, and my heart with courage as I build according to Your plans. May each project and prayer become a reflection of Your grace. In Jesus' name, Amen. https://maglife.org

Little Faithful Becomes Much Fruitful! "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son." Proverbs 10:4-5 In the grand tapestry of God's creation, even the smallest threads can weave the most beautiful patterns. Consider the story of Bezalel in Exodus 31:1-6, called by God to fill the tabernacle with extraordinary artistry. His work — crafted with passion and divine inspiration — reveals that it is not the size of our efforts but the heart behind them that counts. “Little faithful becomes much fruitful!” serves as a powerful reminder that even the quietest acts of excellence resonate profoundly in the Kingdom. Proverbs 10:4-5 teaches us that diligence leads to abundance, echoing the heart of our Creator who breathes life into our daily endeavors. With each task we undertake, however mundane, we have the opportunity to serve God. As we commit to doing small things with great love, we channel our inner Bezalel, allowing God's Spirit to shine brightly through us. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 says, "And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." In our daily lives, we can blend the sacred and the ordinary. Whether we are parenting, working, or serving, let us approach each moment with excellence, making it our humble worship. Remember, "A quiet yes, repeated daily, grows into a harvest no shout could summon. Little faith becomes much more fruitful when no one is watching." Excellence, as one wise soul remarked, is indeed worship. When we pour our hearts into our work, we cultivate a garden of fruits — patience, kindness, and love. This beautiful, aromatic harvest draws others closer to the heart of God. Let's remember that the quiet excellence in our daily engagements can serve as a beacon of hope in a world desperately in need of light. Amen. Titus 2:7 says, "In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness." Amen. Prayer for the Day!Heavenly Father, I thank You for the unique gifts You have bestowed upon me. Anoint my hands for excellent, humble work, Lord. May my faithfulness in the small moments bloom into great fruitfulness. Let Your Spirit guide my every effort, so that through my work, Your glory may shine forth. In Jesus' name, Amen. https://maglife.org

In a biblical context, to be anointed is to be blessed, set apart for God's service, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Throughout Scripture, prophets, priests, and kings were literally anointed with oil as a visible sign that God had chosen and commissioned them for His purposes. Today, however, the biblical understanding of the anointing is in danger of being diminished or misunderstood. What Scripture presents as God's empowering presence and divine calling is sometimes reduced to a mere emotional experience, a title, or a religious expression. The anointing is far more than symbolism—it is God's enabling power to accomplish His will. Some key biblical examples include: Kings: Saul and David were anointed by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 10:1; 16:13). Priests: Aaron and his sons were anointed for priestly service (Exodus 28:41; 30:30). Prophets: Elijah was instructed to anoint Elisha as his successor (1 Kings 19:16). Jesus: Jesus is called the Messiah (Hebrew) and the Christ (Greek), both of which mean "the Anointed One." He was anointed by the Holy Spirit for His ministry (Luke 4:18; Acts 10:38). Extra scriptures: Exodus 30:22-23, 40:9-16 Leviticus 8:1-2, 6-9, 12, 30, 10:8-10 Is. 61:1, Luke 4:18, 21 Ez. 36:25-37 John 14:12 Romans 15:19 Gal. 3:5 II Cor. 1:21-22 I Cor. 12:4-7 I Peter 2:9 I John 2:27 Interested in a Bible study?  We would love to hear from you!  Contact us at:  lifeinspiredproductions@gmail.com Find us on Apple iTunes, Spotify, Pandora Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/EnrichedP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/enriched_perspectives/

July 6, 2026Today's Reading: 1 Kings 19:11-21Daily Lectionary: Joshua 24:1-31; Judges 1:1-36; Acts 13:1-12“I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life” (1 Kings 19:10, 14) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Elijah, wearied from forty days and forty nights of wandering toward Mount Horeb, waits in the cave for “the word of the Lord.” He waits alone, afraid for his life. If it were only Jezebel who sought to kill him, perhaps he could endure it—but it is not just the queen. It is the “people of Israel” themselves who seek his life, to take it away. If he had even one faithful prophet besides him, perhaps he could bear it—but no, he alone remains. All the rest have bowed their knees to Baal. They have forsaken God's covenant, thrown down his altars, and slain his prophets. Twice, the Lord asks Elijah a question he may already be asking himself: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” Perhaps Elijah restrains himself from asking the same in return: “What are you doing here, Lord?” And the Lord answers that unspoken cry—not in the wind, nor the earthquake, nor the fire—but in a still, small voice. A prophet in solitude, prophets in death, a covenant broken, and altars overthrown—Elijah cries into the silence and believes alone.Yet how does God answer Elijah's zealous lament? Elijah, who fears Jezebel's injustice, is given the power to anoint leaders in both church and state who will bring justice to the land. The Lord of heaven and earth, who commands wind and land and fire, commands the weary prophet to anoint two kings and one prophet. From Hazael to Jehu to Elisha, none will escape the sword. Elijah, who shrank back because of Israel's faithlessness, is welcomed into the company of seven thousand men who have not bowed their knees to Baal. God shows His love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His Commandments. Finally, Elijah, who mourned in lonely exile, departs and finds a faithful companion near. Elisha receives the prophet's cloak, call, and commission, and commits himself to the Lord's work. Strengthened by the presence of his God on Mount Horeb, Elijah descends to the plain to proclaim—together with Elisha—“the word of the Lord.” In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.God of the prophets, bless the prophets' sons; Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast. Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one nobler, stronger than the last. Anoint them prophets, men who are intent To be Your witnesses in word and deed, Their hearts aflame, their lips made eloquent, Their eyes awake to ev'ry human need. (LSB 682:1-2)Rev. David Woelmer, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, Smithville, Texas. 

Cetshwayo had sought refuge in Nkandla as his arch enemy, Zibhebhu, turned his attention to the royalists living along the Zululand Coastal plain. Soon Somkhele of the Mphukunyoni and the emaNgweni people were hiding in the swamps and reed-beds of the sub-tropical bush along the Indian Ocean. Melmoth Osborne was the resident commissioner of Zululand and a committed foe of Cetshwayo's royal line, a supporter of Zibhebhu. As Cetshwayo waited for the civil war to die down, he came to the conclusion that it was imperative to convince Melmoth of his right to rule. It was time to come out of hiding and to seek shelter from the commissioner — which he did under Henry Francis Fynn's junior's escort in October 1883. Cetshwayo was placed in a small house alongside his father's old kwaGqikazi homestead where he could contemplate how far he'd fallen. There he remained until 8th February 1884. Had he lived longer, he would have heard that his old Nduna and councillor, Mnyamana, had escaped with his life after being poisoned. The Zulu king was another going to be so fortunate. Shortly after he ate, at 2.30 pm on 8th February, he was overtaken by convulsions, then he collapsed and died a short while later. His family members refused permission for a post-morten, surgeon Scott declared the death had been caused by heart disease. However, historians know the truth - Cetshwayo had most likely been poisoned - placed either in his beer, or his snuff. While it's not known what poison was used, my research into the symptoms and passage of death points to Erythrophleum lasianthum, commonly known as the Swazi ordeal tree, is a medium to large leguminous tree native to southern Africa. It is notable for its exceptionally toxic bark and seeds, traditional cultural significance, and ecological value as a component of woodlands and forests across parts of South Africa, Eswatini and Mozambique. All parts of the tree—especially the bark, seeds, and roots—contain powerful alkaloids and cardiac toxins. Historically, extracts from the bark were used in ordeal poison practices in parts of southern Africa, giving rise to the common name "ordeal tree." The tree has also been used in traditional medicine, but these practices carry substantial risk because the difference between a toxic and potentially therapeutic dose is extremely small. Symptoms of poisoning can include vomiting, tremors, irregular heartbeat, seizures, respiratory failure, and death. The second option is Boophone disticha — a bulb known across southern Africa for centuries and Zulu herbalists were fully aware of its toxicity. Every part of the plant—especially the bulb—contains powerful Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and is highly poisonous to people, livestock, and pets. Traditional healers have employed carefully prepared doses for medicinal and ceremonial purposes but like the Swazi Ordeal Tree, there is a tight margin between a traditional dose and a dangerous one. Exposure to flowers in confined spaces alone causes eye irritation or headaches, giving rise to the common name sore-eye flower. Still, this bulb is highly sought after by modern collectors because of the bulb's beauty. Just wash your hands after fiddling with it, folks. A third possibility is the Acokanthera which causes death through cerebral hypoxia, and a fourth, poison beans, the species of Abrus precatorius in particular — but those can take days to kill you and Cetshwayo perished in an hour or two. Zibhebhu was immediately blamed and he would pay eventually for his actions. But first, the king had to be buried. First he was placed in a sitting position and tied to his hut's central post. The building was sealed with clay and mud so that no smell could emerge and Cetshwayo's body was left there for a few weeks to putrefy. The royal attendants asked Melmoth Osborne for permission to take the body to the emaKhosini valley so he could be buried with his ancestors, but the commissioner refused.

Is your house clean - not just physically, but spiritually? In this powerful Bible teaching, we uncover what it truly means to consecrate your home and keep it set apart for God's glory. Using the stories of Moses and John the Baptist, we see what happens when discouragement causes us to strike at our Deliverer - and how God still moves in the midst of our mess. Jesus' message to John in prison and to us remains the same: He may not be removing you from your situation, but He is working IN it. Today's message will teach you how to: 1. Anoint your home and pray angel protection over every door and window 2. Walk in sanctification and discernment: you are chosen by God 3. Make your home a house of prayer, joy, and life-giving conversation 4. Develop christian habits that honour God in your household 5. Live in gratitude: you are not a foreigner, not an orphan “As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:15 Your home is not just a building. It is a sanctuary. It's time to live like it! #gebhardtberndt #empowerchurch #bible #holyspirit #protection #discernment #christian #habits #family #chosenones #bibleteaching #household

The post You Anoint My Head with Oil appeared first on Providence Church.

John 12:12-13 On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel." This was a worthy praise and adoration of Jesus. He was and is the King of Israel who came in the name of the Lord. Apparently the crowd got word that Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem, and they met Him before He entered the city with these praises. We can join them in giving Jesus glory today. “Hosanna! Blessed are You, Jesus, who has come into my heart for the glory of Your name, even my King, Savior, and Lord. Thank you for another day of life to know and love You and to live to love with You. Anoint and fill us with the Holy Spirit, Your presence and power, so we can love and trust You and love all those You put in our paths today for Your glory. Amen.

January 11, 2026 [Speaker: Pastor John Sitcler] – When was the last time that you returned a gift? Sometimes birthday gifts, Mother's/Father's Day gifts, and even Christmas gifts are not exactly what we wanted, so we simply return them and find something else we like. If we aren't careful, we can try to return or reject the gifts that God has for us.  Throughout this series, we will explore some of the things that God would love to do for us, if we would just let Him. Hopefully, you will discover that everything God wants to do in your life is good, even if it was quite what you expected. ‘Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” (2Chron 7:14) Bible app sermon notes:   http://bible.com/events/49547037

TODAY'S LESSONEvery man wants to conquer something — but the real test of a man's strength is not in what he builds outside his home, but in what he nurtures inside it.It's easy to show courage in the public arena — to take a stand online, to debate, to argue, to act tough when the lights are on. But leadership at home? That's the proving ground of godly manhood.God didn't call men to be kings of the couch — He called us to be priests of the home. To pray with our wives, bless our children, and guard our doors from anything that corrupts. A real leader doesn't just talk about faith — he lives it in front of his family.Your home is your first ministry. If you lose that battlefield, every other victory becomes hollow.A man who can command a company but can't lead his own household in prayer hasn't yet learned true strength. Spiritual leadership isn't about control — it's about responsibility.When Adam failed, it wasn't because he was weak. It was because he was silent. He let the serpent speak unchecked in his home. That's what happens when men abdicate their post. The enemy doesn't need permission to attack; he just needs absence.Brother, your presence — your spiritual authority — makes a difference. When you pray over your family, hell trembles. When you speak Scripture in your home, darkness loses ground. When you love your wife and children sacrificially, you model Christ Himself.You're not just a husband or a father — you're a watchman, protector, intercessor, and shepherd. Your home is your outpost in enemy territory. And every prayer, every word, every act of faith fortifies its walls.

You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. – Psalm 23:5

In this powerful message from the Brave Co. Conference, I dive into the life of David, exploring the incredible journey from being an unseen shepherd to a king chosen by God. If you've ever felt overlooked or underappreciated, this message is for you. We'll examine the life lessons David teaches us about faithfulness when no one is watching, trusting God's perfect timing, and how God chooses the least likely to succeed.I share a raw, personal reflection of my own high school days, feeling overlooked and not fitting into the mold of success others expected of me. Just like David, I didn't look the part, but I've learned that it's not about how we appear to others—it's about being faithful in the moments that matter, even when no one is watching. God sees the heart, and that's what He's looking for in you.As we journey through David's life, we also confront the lessons of insecurity, fear, and pride. Saul's story of anointing with the flask contrasts sharply with David's anointing with the horn, symbolizing a process of perseverance and obedience. God isn't after instant success or popularity; He's after a heart that's been tested, shaped, and ready to carry His anointing into the kingdom. This episode will encourage you to trust God's timing, remain faithful through the seasons of life, and believe that God sees you, even when you feel unseen.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction: The Power of Being Chosen Before Recognition00:06 - The Privilege of Sharing Time with Best Friends00:22 - David's Life: From Shepherd to King00:37 - The "Least Likely to Succeed" Archetype: My High School Experience04:30 - David's Humble Beginnings: Overlooked by His Own Family06:52 - Saul's Disobedience and the Consequences09:51 - Saul's Failed Attempt to Please God: A Key Turning Point13:09 - Samuel's Journey to Anoint the Next King: God's Unexpected Choice16:12 - David: The One Chosen by God, Despite His Family's Rejection22:50 - The Flask vs. The Horn: Understanding the Process of Anointing36:00 - The Anointing of David: A Surrendered Heart Ready for God's TimingABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

Matthew Coller of Purple Insider joins Chad with great stuff on the JJ McCarthy and the Vikings at the start of training camp.

Have you ever had one of those days where the house feels like chaos—kids yelling, spaghetti boiling over, the dog barking, and your patience just… gone? You're not alone, friend. We all desire a peaceful home, but it doesn't come from a perfect routine or a magical parenting hack. It comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, I'm inviting you to actually get up with me—yes, right now—and walk through an anointing prayer for your home. Together, we'll reclaim peace, break agreement with chaos, and declare God's design over every room of your house. I'll guide you through powerful declarations, spiritual clean-up, and what it means to raise our families in a truly Spirit-filled home. Whether your kids have had too much screen time, or you've just felt disconnected and overwhelmed lately, this is your moment to pause and reset. Not with shame—but with grace and authority. You don't need fancy oil or a perfect track record—you just need to invite God in. So let's do this together. (If you do want to make your own anointing oil then go back and listen to episodes 41 and 42 to learn how to do that.) Ready to go deeper? Download your free copy of Powerful Prayers & Declarations to Ignite Revival in Your Home at RevivalMomPrays.com Or email me at alyssa@alyssarahn.com and put “Coaching” in the subject and let's see if 1:1 coaching or the Revival Mom Academy is a good fit for you.  

Did you know there are tactical frameworks for manifesting? I'm back with another Living Room Session podcast with one of my best friends, Lori Harder as we share the patterns behind our biggest breakthroughs and the gritty, unglamorous work that happens behind the scenes before things “click.” We're getting real about the moments we realized we were in our own way and the next steps anyone can take NOW to write a new future for themselves. We talk about how to stay in the game when it feels impossible, keys to personal transformation, and how to stop waiting to be chosen and anoint yourself now. We're talking the literal frameworks Lori used to push past rejection to go on to land over 10 magazine covers, and she's still using those same frameworks to create success in other areas today! You already have everything you need to manifest your biggest desires, now it's your move.    HIGHLIGHTS 02:00 When was the last time you took a bold move and showed up differently? 04:45 Early decisions that led Lori to break records and land magazine covers. 07:00 How your network will help (or hurt) your ability to rise to your next level. 09:45 The power of understanding why you actually want the things you're manifesting. 14:00 What is stopping you from anointing yourself? 18:30 Where are you avoiding doing the work that is required for your next level? 23:15 Why it's important to recognize YOUR favorite flavor (aka pattern) of self sabotage. 27:00 Why you NEED a community that won't let you quit.  35:00 How jealousy became a catalyst for Lori to finish her book. 44:45 How rejection and challenges prepare us for the person who can hold the dream. 47:00 Tactical tips for manifesting (and what it actually FEELS like when you're manifesting). 50:00 The question to ask people you trust to get clear on what's in your way.  55:15 How to keep showing up for your dream when you're faced with challenges.   RESOURCES + LINKS Click HERE for tickets to the 2025 Powerhouse Women Event August 15-17th in Scottsdale, Arizona!

Megyn Kelly is joined by Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri to discuss the Secret Service director finally resigning after her terrible appearance before Congress, the failure of law enforcement at the Trump rally causing the attempted assassination, the blame game we're seeing now, the lack of accountability and transparency, the contemptible actions of Sec. Mayorkas and the FBI in the wake of the assassination attempt, the attempted rebrand of VP Kamala Harris, the Democratic elite installing Harris as their new "party puppet," whether Harris could end up as president over the next few weeks and months, and more. Then Charlie Spiering, author of "Amateur Hour," joins to discuss how the elite on the left are attempting to rebrand Harris and appoint her as the nominee, calling her a "wine aunt," her history of rocky workplace relationships, why it's fair game to question how Harris got her start in politics involving her relationship with Willie Brown, her early work in San Francisco, the talking point about her being a tough prosecutor, Harris' terrible run as the "border czar," her far left believes on social issues, Kamala having a "brat summer," and more. Then Mike Baker, host of "The President's Daily Brief," joins to discuss how Secret Service should have handled the Trump rally, the timeline of events during the assassination attempt, all the areas where law enforcement went wrong, the breakdown of leadership and communication, the lies about "sloped roof" and more, and more.Hawley- https://x.com/HawleyMOSpiering- https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Amateur-Hour/Charlie-Spiering/9781668046074Baker- https://www.youtube.com/@presidentsdailybriefMagic Spoon: https://Magicspoon.com/MK or use promo code MK Prager U: Make a 100% tax-deductible donation at https://PragerU.com/Socks & get your socks todayNative Path: Visit https://nativepath.sale/MK now to claim your exclusive up to 45% OFF discount.  Follow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow
