Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies
Friends, on this Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, our Gospel is the Martha and Mary story, and in my years of preaching, I've found that it tends to bother people a lot. With the first reading about Abraham in mind, we can better understand what this passage means—and doesn't mean. Rather than playing one sister off the other, we should read Martha and Mary together: When we focus on the “unum necessarium,” the one thing necessary, all the many things that preoccupy us find their proper place.
How do we maintain interior peace amidst the pressures of daily life? Dr. Sri explores the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10, highlighting the difference between Martha's anxious state and Mary's centered state. He shares three practical ways to cultivate Mary's interior peace in our lives. Snippet from the Show " We want to live a centered life, a life centered on the one thing necessary: Jesus." _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.

Dr. Leaf shares a 63-day Neurocycle process for rewiring the brain and forming lasting habits.Mental Health Requires Daily WorkJust like physical fitness, mental health is a discipline.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
This is the third in our series of episodes on Jonathan Haidt's book The Anxious Generation. In Part 1, we looked at the evidence for the teen 'mental health crisis.' In Part 2, we reviewed the evidence for whether social media is causing the so-called 'teen mental health crisis. In this episode, we begin looking at what to do about the effects of phones on kids - starting with school cell phone bans. Phone bans are spreading like wildfire across America, with 21 states either studying or already enforcing restrictions, up from none just a few years ago. But before you advocate for - or against - a ban at your child's school, you need to hear what the research actually reveals. This episode examines real studies from Denmark, England, and Hungary, plus the eye-opening results from schools using those tamper-proof Yonder pouches that promise to solve everything. You'll discover why the "golden age" of unsupervised childhood play that experts want us to return to wasn't actually golden for most kids. More importantly, you'll learn what's really driving students to their phones: unmet needs for choice, agency, and genuine connection. Through a fascinating deep-dive into one teacher's blog post about his school's phone ban, you'll see how current approaches may be missing the point entirely, and what students themselves say would actually help them engage more in school. Which states are banning cell phones in schools? 21 states are currently studying or have already enforced cell phone bans, including Florida, Louisiana, Virginia, Indiana, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and New York. Are cell phone bans in schools effective for improving academic performance? Research shows mixed results with only tiny improvements on test scores, and most studies don't control for other factors that could explain the changes. Does banning phones in school improve students' mental health? Studies from multiple countries found no significant improvements in student anxiety, depression, or overall wellbeing from cell phone restrictions. Are cell phone bans in schools a good idea? The evidence suggests that school cell phone bans address symptoms rather than root causes - students turn to phones because their needs for autonomy and connection aren't being met. What happens when schools try to enforce cell phones being banned in schools? Students find creative workarounds: stabbing through security pouches, buying unlock magnets, bringing decoy phones, and creating underground phone-sharing economies. Why do students want their phones during school hours? Research shows students use phones to meet basic psychological needs for choice, agency, and genuine connection that traditional classrooms often fail to provide. What you'll learn in this episode The real data on school cell phone ban effectiveness - examining studies from Denmark, England, Hungary, and the U.S. that reveal surprising results about academic and mental health outcomes Which states are leading the cell phone ban movement - a breakdown of the 21 states implementing or studying restrictions, from Florida's pioneering ban to New York's upcoming policies...
Pastor/Elder Anthony Valentine preaches from Matthew 6:25-34
In Luke 12, Jesus calls us out of worry and anxiety by reminding us who God is: our loving, providing, sovereign Father. Anxiety results from forgetting God's character and looking inward instead of upward. Jesus shows us that worry is unreasonable, exhausting, and sinful, but peace comes when we trust in the provision and care of our loving Father. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.

Contact Welcomed HereMOD episodes have no shelf-life or expiration date. Our focus is principled so each episode reflects the immediate peace and stability of our Ever-Present Knowing Awareness that clarifies conflicted impressions manifest by the instability and hyper-reactivity of obsessive thoughts purely induced, “imagined reality”.While the Absolute nature of Life is an unadulterated gift - we earn our human experience. Good or bad, like it or not, it is how and what we think of Life, Reality, and Truth that complicate all the consequential forms of conflicted dysfunctional incapacities incorrectly blamed on life and human nature. It is not Life that is impossible, hard, or a struggle but imagining that our thoughts about it are omnipotent and as a result unchangeable. This addictive mental trend has the world of things and people seem in chronic need of change while we choose to inflict others with our thoughts to pretend we are not capable of causing such conflicts. This induced form of insanity once seen clearly is laughable. The only thoughts induced insanity seemingly overlook are the mistaken beliefs of their perpetrator. Acting like we're in a coma to maintain unnatural conditions does not affect our essence but causes over-dramatic mental and inter-reactive consequences. We choose how and what we think - and this news is good or bad dependent on how accurately, or honestly, our choices are conceded. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order reflecting a reversal of our natural fortune. Anxious, nervous and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Law and order of the universe. Dis-ease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Stress and Anxiety inhibit healing and so contribute to any ailments. Mentality is a bodily function. Mental disease is a physcial ailment leading to others as long as it is improperly diagnosed - any treatment will perpetuate its contagion. Principles affirm our indivisible nature. Sharing principles affirms and confirms our indivisibility as our nature. Inspiration is natural while desperation, depression, degradation and acting oblivious to what is obvious is a choice. Absolute Intelligence, Peace and Silence is Nature's nature since It does not change. The nature of nature is naturally our nature. Ignoring what is happening, acting as though it shouldn't be or isn't happening, produces the unintelligible jibbersh of ignorance - not reality.

About 15% to 50% of perimenopausal women may experience anxiety, often accompanied by depression, insomnia, and forgetfulness. In fact, anxiety is one of the main symptoms women reach out to me about. But unfortunately, a lot of healthcare providers aren't addressing the underlying imbalances associated with anxiety, besides thoughts, mindset, and/or trauma. And of course these things should be addressed, but there's more to the story...

We often think peace comes when life finally calms down—but what if that idea is holding us back? In this episode, I explore why chasing perfect stillness can actually increase our anxiety, and how real peace is something much more courageous. Let's look at how we can build a peace that doesn't crumble, even when life feels chaotic. True peace isn't about control—it's about learning to stay open. If you'd like to go deeper into this work, visit iintendtobehappy.com—it's a wonderful place to begin your journey with me.
If you've been clinging to control because you're convinced it's the only thing keeping you safe and "in check", this episode is for you. Today, we're diving into something that keeps so many women stuck: the exhausting anxiety around food, body image, and needing to control everything.In this episode, you're learning: Why letting go of control around food (or anything else) feels downright terrifying—and what your nervous system has to do with itHow practicing small, doable experiments (instead of trying to overhaul everything overnight) actually re-trains your brain to feel safeWhy knowing isn't the same as doing, and why you'll never feel ready until you start anyway We'll also get into the power of short-term habits, like a 7-day challenge to prove to yourself that you can do the hard and uncomfortable thing you've been pushing off, and the world won't end. If you're ready to finally surrender and let go of behaviours that aren't serving you anymore, let's jump in!✨ Grab your spot for my free workshop: How To Stop Feeling Obsessed With Food to start healing today!

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
In Part 1 of this mini-series looking at Jonathan Haidt's book The Anxious Generation, we discovered that the teen mental health crisis might not be as dramatic as The Anxious Generation claims - and that changes in diagnosis and coding could be inflating the numbers. But even if we accept that teens' struggles have increased somewhat, the next crucial question is: what's actually causing the change?Jonathan Haidt is adamant that social media causes depression and anxiety in teenagers. He claims that "dozens of experiments" prove social media use is a CAUSE, not just a correlate, of mental health problems. But when you dig into the studies, as we do in this episode, we'll see that the 'causal' data is nowhere near as strong as Haidt claims.We'll examine the experimental evidence behind social media and teen mental health claims, reveal why leading researchers compare social media effects on teens to eating potatoes, and uncover what factors actually explain 99% of youth mental health outcomes. Because if we're going to spend time and energy helping our kids, we want to make sure we're spending it doing things that will actually help.Questions This Episode Will AnswerDoes social media really cause teen depression and anxiety? Research shows correlation, not proven causation, with social media effects on teens explaining less than 1% of wellbeing, similar to the effect of eating potatoes. (Some researchers argue that this is still important enough to pay attention to - the episode explores why.)Why do I keep hearing that social media is harmful if the research is weak? Many (but not all) social media studies find some evidence of harm, but when you look at the methodology this isn't surprising - researchers do things like sending participants daily reminders that "limiting social media is good for you," and then asking them how much social media they've consumed and how they feel. It's hard to draw strong conclusions from this data!How can different studies on social media show opposite results? Researchers studying teen social media use can get completely different results from the same data depending on how they choose to analyze it. The episode looks at those choices and what they mean for understanding whether social media causes kids' depression and anxiety.Is limiting my teen's social media use actually going to help them? Current evidence suggests that some kids who use social media a lot are vulnerable to experiencing depression and anxiety, and limiting their use specifically may be protective. There is little evidence to support the idea that blanket bans on kids' social media/smart phone usage will result in dramatic improvements in youth mental health, and focusing on issues that are more clearly connected to mental health would likely have a greater positive impact.What You'll Learn in This Episode How most social media research creates results that don't tell us what we want to know (but then reports the results as if they do) How the same teen mental health data can be analyzed to support opposite conclusions about social media effects on teens What family relationships, academic pressure, and economic stress reveal about the real drivers of youth mental health issues How social media and teen mental health correlations explain the same amount of variance as seemingly irrelevant factors like potato consumption How researcher bias and study...

this episode, we sat down with Adam Lane Smith to discuss attachment theory. Adam shares how to identify your attachment style, how to foster a secure attachment with your own children, and how to apply those learnings to all of your relationships. TakeawaysAttachment theory focuses on the formation of healthy, loving, and collaborative relationships.There are three main attachment styles: secure, avoidant, and anxious.Attachment issues can be formed in childhood due to various factors, such as lack of bonding with parents or traumatic experiences.Birth experiences may impact attachment formation, but it is possible to improve attachment styles through explicit love and nurturing.Bonding hormones, such as oxytocin, GABA, vasopressin, and serotonin, play a crucial role in attachment and can be influenced by positive experiences.Collaboration and asking questions are essential tools for parents to create secure attachment with their children.Divorce can have a significant impact on attachment styles, and it is crucial to provide context and foster oxytocin bonding with adopted children.Couples with different attachment styles can improve their relationship by being explicit about their needs, fostering collaboration, and building a marriage agreement.The breakdown of the family structure over the past century has led to challenges in attachment and relationship dynamics.Providing a safe and nurturing environment is key to developing secure attachment in both parent-child and couple relationships. Solving problems together in a relationship opens up oxytocin receptors and fosters intimacy and connection.Avoidant attachment style is characterized by a wall up, lack of trust, and an emphasis on survival. Anxious attachment style is characterized by a fear of abandonment and a focus on pleasing others.Enmeshment is a form of insecure attachment where boundaries are poor and caretaking becomes the responsibility of the child.Secure attachment involves open and explicit communication, clear boundaries, and a focus on generosity and adjusting for reality.Attachment styles can vary in different relationships and situations, but fostering secure attachment at home is crucial for healthy relationships outside the home.Nature and genetics may play a role in attachment, but it is the parent's job to nurture and guide their child towards secure attachment.Building a self-correcting family system where open communication and resolution of issues is encouraged is more important than striving for perfection as a parent.Find Adam Lane Smith HERE.
