Podcasts about Pride

In this episode we continue our look at what it means to F.E.A.R. God. As we study Scripture, God begins renewing our minds. He starts replacing lies with truth. Fear gives way to faith. Pride gives way to humility. Selfishness begins giving way to love. Little by little, our desires begin looking more like His desires. SHARE HOW GOD IS USING THIS PODCAST!Support the show

If the angels existed in the presence of God and beheld His divine glory, how could Satan—or any angel—possibly choose to turn away from Him?We explore what the Eastern Church Fathers teach about the nature of angels, their free will, the angelic hierarchy, and the fall of Satan. Nathan​ examines five factors that help explain how beings created in communion with God could nevertheless rebel against Him, including pride, envy,​ intellectual passions, and the possibility of God's pedagogical withdrawal.Along the way, Nathan discusses the nine orders of angels, competing patristic explanations for Satan's rebellion, why some Fathers connect his fall to​ the creation of humanity, and what angelic freedom can teach us about our own relationship with God.======================================Timestamps00:00 How Could an Angel Fall?00:47 What Is an Angel?02:09 Angels as Created Beings03:21 Free Will and Self-Determination04:23 Angels as Ministering Spirits05:10 How Angels Mediate God's Energies07:18 How Creatures Participate in God08:39 The Hierarchy of Angels09:06 The Nine Orders of Angels10:23 What Does the Fall of Angels Mean?13:13 How Could Angels Reject God?15:50 Five Factors Behind the Fall16:38 Not All Angels Experience God Equally17:32 The Intellectual Passions18:33 Pride, Envy, and Satan's Rebellion19:38 Did Satan Fall Because of Humanity?21:15 How Satan Led Other Angels into Rebellion22:39 Divine Hiddenness and Free Will24:56 Do Angels Leave God's Presence?25:17 Why God May Withdraw His Presence26:58 How the Angels May Have Been Tested27:26 Final Thoughts======================================Do you like this content?

Low self-esteem and a big ego are two sides of the same coin. Mike Tyson saw it— there was "Iron Mike," the undefeatable persona built for the ring. And then there was the real confused person underneath. The ego can get you to your destination, but it's going to collapse. The teaching of bhakti goes deeper: play your role — boxer, mother, teacher, father — play it as well as it can be played. But never mistake the role for who you are. You have a true spiritual existence beyond it. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that alongside Canto Ten, Chapter Thirty-Seven — where Keśī, the horse demon, beautiful and powerful and prideful, charges into Vrindavan. Pride always meets its match. And as Mike said "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

1 A wise son listens to his father's instruction, but a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke. 2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence. 3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied. 5 A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace. 6 Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth. 8 The ransom of a man's life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats. 9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. 10 Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice. 11 Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow. 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. 13 Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded. 14 The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death. 15 Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. 16 Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly. 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing. 18 Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored. 19 Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil. 20 One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm. 21 Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous. 22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous. 23 An abundance of food is in poor people's fields, but injustice sweeps it away. 24 One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him. 25 The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

Drawing from decades of experience in chemical dependency treatment, Carolyn explains how addiction affects relationships, identity, priorities, and spiritual life.They discuss denial, comparison, isolation, secrecy, withdrawal, and why recovery requires community, humility, honesty, and bringing what is hidden “into the light.” From a Christian perspective, they explore how addiction can become a stronghold that competes with relationships, community, and allegiance to God.The episode also offers practical guidance for anyone concerned about their own substance use or the addiction of someone they love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction01:29 — The Stages of Addiction03:32 — Recreational vs. Problematic Use06:23 — Emotional & Physical Dependence08:20 — Relational Consequences10:06 — How Addiction Changes Your Social Life12:44 — When the Substance Becomes a Relationship14:01 — Addiction as an Idol16:24 — The Double Life of Addiction18:18 — Why Functioning Doesn't Mean Healthy19:12 — Denial & Comparison22:12 — The Absence of Consequences Isn't Permission23:39 — The Later Stages of Addiction26:23 — Isolation & Addiction27:43 — Understanding Withdrawal29:08 — What Early Sobriety Feels Like30:19 — Why Community Matters31:06 — Why Therapy Alone May Not Be Enough32:19 — Secrecy, Shame & Control35:00 — Coming Into the Light35:27 — 1 John 1 & Walking in the Light36:20 — Honesty, Humility & Recovery40:14 — Isolation, Pride & Being Known41:20 — The Brutality of Addiction's End Stages43:11 — The First Step Toward Recovery45:06 — Next Episode: Addiction & the Family47:23 — Humility, Grace & Freedom48:08 — ClosingFor counseling and resources: samaritanswell.comFree Guide: Christian Emotional Health Guidehttps://samaritanswell.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/Christian-Emotional-Health-GuideConnect with Samaritan's Well:Instagram: @samaritanswellFacebook: @samaritanswelldallasLinkedIn: Samaritan's Well CounselingTikTok: @samaritanswellcounseling#SoulSense #AddictionRecovery #ChristianCounseling #Recovery #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Sunday 19 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION From accusations of ‘two-tier' justice to an inability to tackle everyday criminality, the disarray enveloping British institutions is nowhere more evident than with the police. In recent times, intervening to stop widespread crime such as shoplifting, and solving – or even investigating – ‘traditional' crimes such as burglary has seemed less of a priority than sorting out petty disputes, enforcing speech codes, tackling catcalling or donning rainbow flags. When a couple were arrested for using a private parents' WhatsApp group to criticise their daughter's school, it seemed to sum up the petty, censorious nature of policing today. Policing impartiality has been called into question by what is described as a ‘two-tier' approach. Critics identify the perceived leniency towards Leeds Harehills rioters from the Roma community with a tough response to disturbances following the Southport murders as a turning point – not just in the exercise of public order itself, but in public perception of an unfair system. Since then, a report by Hardeep Singh, The Many Tiers of British Justice, has noted that there are ‘many examples of where identity politics and progressivist causes have trumped impartial policing'. Dismay has grown at police failure to tackle – and even alleged complicity in – the grooming gangs scandals; the seeming disparity in treatment of Lucy Connolly and Labour councillor Ricky Jones has added fuel to the fire. When the High Court recently ruled that uniformed officers should no longer take part in Pride events or parades, stressing that supporting a cause can ‘undermine the public's confidence in impartiality', it at least seemed like recognition of the two-tier problem. Police chiefs though reject the two-tier charge, citing limited resources, the need to police by consent, and the danger of judging complex situations through social-media clips. Others say ‘two-tier' has become a cliché, a dog whistle to protestors or a far-right conspiracy theory – each effectively hindering officers and the wider cause of justice. In any event, has policing not always required differential approaches to different groups or sections of society? For example, higher rates of stop and search among minorities are often justified as legitimately reflecting policing needs on the ground. Is there anything wrong with policies that reflect different needs and risks? Whatever the truth, police priorities are increasingly perceived as diverging from public concerns while the service faces significant challenges, simultaneously lacking in authority and public consent while also confronted by a crisis of purpose and identity. Does policing need wholesale reform to restore trust, or is the real challenge persuading the public it remains even-handed? Are accusations of two-tier policing justified, or just a cynical victimhood narrative hyped-up to make partisan political points? In a world where everyone can record and broadcast instantly, can policing survive the court of public opinion?

Cassie, Daurie, and special guest Maddie tackle Disney's live action remake of The Little Mermaid in our final episode of this Little Mermaid revisit. A minor miscommunication leads to slightly different approach for the episode -- can Daurie and Cassie convince Maddie, a lifelong lover of Disney's animated Little Mermaid, to watch the live action and give it a try? You'll also learn what this movie has to do with picture books, the 95 Pride and Prejudice, and Cassie's production of The Lightning Thief; which change from the animated movie causes the most heated debate; and perhaps most importantly, how many times Cassie accidentally calls Triton "Trident."The main discussion starts at the 7:50 mark.You can find Maddie on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/atthehearthwithmaddieJoin our community!

10 Reasons People Stay Stunted in Their Growth (and Never Step Into Increase) Self Embetterment | The Todd Coconato  Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give 10 Reasons People Stay Stunted in Their Growth (and Never Step Into Increase) 1. They Don't Have Clear Vision “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” (Proverbs 29:18, KJV) Confusion kills momentum. If you don't know what you're called to do, you'll drift… and drifting never leads to increase. 2. They Lack Daily Discipline “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much…” (Luke 16:10, NKJV) Inconsistency keeps people stuck. They wait for motivation instead of building habits… and without discipline, nothing multiplies. 3. Their Mind Is Full of Noise “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7, NKJV) Too much distraction… too much negativity… too many voices. A cluttered mind produces a stagnant life. 4. They Don't Solve Real Problems “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:4, NKJV) People who stay focused only on themselves rarely grow. Increase follows value… and value comes from helping others. ⸻ 5. Poor Stewardship of What They Already Have “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2, NKJV) They want more… but mismanage what they already have. God doesn't multiply chaos… He multiplies stewardship. 6. They Allow Distractions to Control Them “Lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us…” (Hebrews 12:1, NKJV) Not everything is sin… but a lot of it is weight. Constant distraction drains momentum and delays purpose. 7. They Rely on Effort Instead of Systems “The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty…” (Proverbs 21:5, NKJV) They work hard… but without structure. No plan, no systems, no follow-through… and therefore no consistent results. 8. Wrong Relationships and Environment “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.” (Proverbs 13:20, NKJV) Who you're around either sharpens you or stunts you. Many people stay stuck because they refuse to change their circle. 9. Overthinking Instead of Taking Action “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.” (Proverbs 16:3, NKJV) They wait for perfect clarity… and never move. But clarity comes through action, not hesitation. 10. Pride and Lack of Dependence on God “But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…” (Deuteronomy 8:18, NKJV) They rely on their own strength, their own ideas, their own timing. But true increase comes from staying submitted to God. Bottom Line People don't stay stuck by accident… They stay stuck by patterns. No vision No discipline No focus No action But the moment those shift… everything begins to change. This is the difference between potential… and fruit.

We've known for quite some time that the Orlando Pride have not been playing well. Ever since the restart after the World Cup break, the Pride have been nearly unwatchable, and with Barbra Banda first injured and then off with Zambia for the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, there haven't even been many goals to celebrate, let alone wins. Despite knowing that going in, your hosts attended Friday's Pride match against Racing Louisville — the very first time the two of us have been at a game as a fan at the same time. With one of us living in Tallahassee and the other one of us working the equivalent of about three jobs, including being at Orlando City games to cover those for The Mane Land, it just hadn't happened yet. That changed Friday, and although we did not enjoy the game much at all, we did enjoy being at the stadium, hanging out, and commiserating about how badly the team was playing (misery loves company). The food and beer were good. The soccer was not.We look back at the Pride's latest difficult outing, check our oh-so-close score predictions, and I think we picked a Player of the Match, but honestly we should not have.We also discussed the additions of Zoe Matthews and Gabi Nunes to the roster.This week's mailbagbox was incredibly robust, and it takes up a large chunk of the middle of the show. Our listeners wanted to know about goal of the week, long intros/outros in songs, the Pride's most urgent need, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.Finally, we looked ahead to Saturday night's Pride match in Portland. (Please note that we had not known the full extent of Olivia Moultrie's injury at the time of recording.) We're not holding out a lot of hope for a result for Orlando on the road, although the Thorns are in poor form. That's usually immaterial, as the Pride's recent trip to North Carolina showed us. We checked on the history of the series, looked at the teams' relative position in the table, provided our key matchups, and tried to predict the final score.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here's how Episode 133 went down:0:15 – The Pride were bad on Friday, but the company, food, and beverages were great.17:42 - The mailbagbox is bursting at the seams, and it was more fun than watching the game this week.48:08 - Orlando heads to the Pacific Northwest. We think we know what will happen, but we hope we're wrong for all the right reasons.

Retiring as a Single Lesbian in Setúbal, Portugal: Finding Community Beyond LisbonGuest: Jules de Mello | Host: Mark GoldsteinWhen Jules de Mello retired after a 27-year career as a federal criminal investigator, she went looking for a sunny, walkable place near the water where she could build a full life on her own terms. Lisbon was the plan, until the rents priced her out. Then she discovered Setúbal, a working port city on the cusp of its own renaissance, and never looked back.In this conversation, Jules opens up about what it really takes to retire as a single lesbian abroad: finding her people, and often building community from scratch, navigating a country that is warmly accepting but culturally reserved, and weighing the honest trade-offs of starting over solo in a place where you do not yet speak the language. It is a warm, practical, and refreshingly candid look at one of Portugal's most underrated cities.Meet JulesJules spent 27 years as a federal criminal investigator across several U.S. agencies before retiring in 2022. With Azorean roots on her great-grandfather's side, Portugal had always called to her. She first scouted the country in 2018, arrived permanently in Setúbal in April 2023, and soon became a self-described "connector," co-founding the Setúbal Pride meetup to bring locals, women, trans, and non-binary folks together in a community that had mostly orbited Lisbon before.In this episode00:00 Introduction: from federal investigator to Setúbal04:02 The 2018 trip that planted the seed06:48 Priced out of Lisbon09:31 Renting vs. buying in Portugal13:41 What Setúbal is really like17:46 Climate and the seasons24:00 Building queer community and founding Setúbal Pride29:31 LGBTQ+ acceptance and local culture33:53 Cost of living: rent and housing44:55 Utilities, internet, and getting around48:30 Food, markets, and the daily lunch special55:16 Walkability and transportation1:06:06 Healthcare: public, private, and Medicare1:25:39 Dining, wine, and café culture1:31:14 Visas and residency1:39:18 Honest trade-offs and final adviceWhat you'll learnWhy Setúbal, and not Lisbon? A medium-sized port city of roughly 140,000 people, Setúbal sits on an estuary with the Arrábida Nature Reserve rising behind it. Jules compares the feel to standing at the water's edge in Seattle, looking back at the hills. Downtown is flat and walkable, the covered market is considered one of the best in Portugal, and you are a short drive or train ride from Lisbon without paying Lisbon prices.What acceptance actually looks like. Portugal is legally progressive, with marriage equality and legal abortion that both predate the United States, but the culture is reserved and private. As Jules puts it, you can show up exactly as you are and be accepted, without anyone needing to label it or make a fuss. Older generations who lived under the dictatorship tend to be more guarded, while younger people simply do not think twice.The reality of building community. Finding the LGBTQ+ community as a single woman took real effort. Jules and a friend started the Setúbal Pride meetup in early 2024, hosting tea dances, potlucks, film nights, and gatherings designed to be diverse and welcoming. Her honest take: lesbians and gay men often socialize differently, and the language and cultural barriers add another layer, so she had to become the initiator rather than wait for community to find her.Walkability with caveats. Downtown is flat, and you can reach the butcher, the market, the pharmacy, and your doctor on foot, supported by a strong local bus system. But the cobblestone calçadas are uneven and tough on anyone with mobility challenges, so comfortable, flat walking shoes are not optional.Healthcare, honestly explained. Once you live in Portugal, you are covered under the public system, and many residents also carry private insurance. The two systems run in parallel and do not really talk to each other. Trauma and emergencies are routed through the public hospital, while private insurance speeds up elective procedures that would otherwise mean long public waitlists. Almost every physician speaks English, though front-desk staff and nurses often do not, so a translation app becomes part of every appointment.A practical snapshotThese are the figures Jules shared from her own experience around the time of recording. Treat them as a starting point, not a quote: costs shift with the market, and euro amounts convert to dollars at the current exchange rate.Rent (1 to 2 bedrooms): roughly 700 to 1,200 euros per month, rising toward 1,900 for newer units with modern amenities like a garage and air conditioning. Many traditional apartments come without appliances or a dryer (clothes dry on the line).Internet, phone, and TV bundle: around 50 euros per month for high-speed fiber.Electricity: can climb to about 200 euros in the hottest summer month if you run air conditioning heavily. Electricity and gasoline are both expensive; gas runs roughly 2 euros per liter, which Jules estimates at nearly 10 dollars per gallon.The daily lunch special (prato do dia): about 12 to 13 euros for several courses, often including bread, olives, a main, dessert, coffee, and wine.Private health insurance: roughly 100 euros per month under age 60, climbing to around 200 in your sixties. Only one private insurer in Portugal will enroll people over 70, though existing policyholders are generally kept on.Visas and residencyJules came on the D7 visa, sometimes called the retiree or passive-income visa. Her path: initial approval valid for 2 years, followed by a 3-year renewal, with the option to apply for permanent residency after 5 years of legal residence. She applied through the VFS vendor that handles Portuguese consular appointments in the U.S., interviewed in Washington, D.C., and saw approval in about 60 days, though timelines vary widely by consulate and can stretch to many months if documents expire mid-process.Important accuracy note on citizenship. Jules mentions that the path to Portuguese citizenship was extended from 5 to 10 years. We confirmed this: Portugal's Parliament approved a revised Nationality Law on April 1, 2026, and the President signed it on May 3, 2026, raising the residency requirement for naturalization to ten years for most non-EU nationals and seven years for EU and Portuguese-speaking (CPLP) nationals, with the residency clock now counting from the issuance of your first residence permit. Some details, including the exact effective date upon official publication and how the change applies to people already in the pipeline, were still being settled at the time of recording, and a constitutional challenge had been filed. This is a fast-moving and consequential area, so if citizenship is part of your plan, please confirm the current rules with a qualified Portuguese immigration attorney before making decisions. Permanent residency after five years is a separate process from citizenship.Jules on the honest trade-offThe hardest thing she gave up was the ease of finding community. Back home, queer life came with built-in hiking groups, dinner clubs, and shows to attend together. In Setúbal, she had to build that herself, and she has, becoming the bridge-builder her Portuguese choir mates now thank for getting everyone out the door. Her advice for anyone considering the move: visit beyond the vacation version, stay in a real neighborhood, do your own grocery run, and feel what daily life is honestly like before you commit. And, in the spirit of a friend who lives by it, say yes to every invitation.Listen and connectListen to the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts, and explore more LGBTQ+ retirement destinations at wheredogaysretire.com.Have a question about retiring abroad or a destination you'd like us to cover?

We hear from many readers who set reading goals informed by their to-be-read stacks, whether physical or digital. Today's guest has a specific and relatable goal of making progress through her library of already purchased ebooks. Danielle Petrie lives and works in the Canadian prairies, where she enjoys swing dancing, outdoor activities, and reading. Historically, it's been important to Danielle to keep her ebook library at about 50% read, with the other half ready to enjoy. But lately, Danielle's balance has tipped heavily towards the purchased but not yet read end of the spectrum. When she reached out as a potential guest, she was currently sitting at 36% read, and shared her desire to create a reading challenge to bring that ratio back into balance and focus on reading from her unread library of titles. Today, she and Anne take a look at Danielle's reading life, see what's on her Kindle and how it got there, and make a plan for her to experience reading satisfaction on several different levels. Find the titles discussed today and leave your suggestions for Danielle on our show notes page.

Jason Momoa was the FIRST one to audition for GAME OF THRONES and the LAST one cast a year later. His cousin's impact on his life helped him make a strong choice that ultimately landed him the role. But it took him a few years and a couple of classes to trust his instinctive strong choices and learn how to "audition." BAYWATCH discovered him in his native home of Hawaii among a 1,300-person cattle call. Jason responded to a radio call announcing the audition that would pay him more than the daily rate of folding T-shirts at the family-owned surf shop. Jason's unique look has always made him a different choice, but also made opportunities few and far between. So Jason, with many of his close friends, formed the production company Pride of Gypsies, which has made Jason into an all-around filmmaker — writing, producing, directing and acting. Forever remembered for his unforgettable role as Drogo in Game of Thrones, Jason has since become a global star as Aquaman in the DC universe, Duncan Idaho in Dune, and the lead in Apple TV+'s See. He's also stepped further behind the camera, creating and starring in his passion project Chief of War, and appeared in A Minecraft Movie, The Fall Guy, and his travel/design series On the Roam. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Jason Momoa right here.

According to the NeuroAffective Relational Model, chronic shame isn't an emotion, it's actually a strategy. Stephan K. Niederwieser is the co-author of the new book Healing Shame and Guilt.Shame tells us something is wrong with who we are, while guilt tells us something was wrong with what we did. In this brief episode, Luciana Baicea and Adrian Dinu talk with Stephan Niederwieser about why neither one behaves like an emotion: emotions come, tell us something and pass, while shame settles in and stays. He also explains what shame did FOR us: it helped us disconnect from needs, anger and grief that once felt too dangerous to have.Stephan Niederwieser has been in private practice in Berlin since the late 1980s. He initially trained in Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing before moving to the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), which he now teaches internationally. He is the co-author, alongside Laurence Heller, PhD, of Healing Shame and Guilt, recently published in Romanian by Editura Herald.In this episode we briefly explored:Why "toxic shame" is the wrong term, and what "chronic" points to insteadThe five core developmental needs (connection, attunement, trust, autonomy, love and sexuality) and the survival styles that appear when they are not metShame-based identification and its opposite - pride-based counter-identificationDepression as anger that has been pushed down rather than feltWhether an AI companion can offer connection without rupture and repairThe difference between being loved and being admiredResources mentioned in the conversation:Book: Healing Shame and Guilt by Laurence Heller, PhD & Stephan K.

For nearly 150 years, Pillsbury United Communities has worked across Minneapolis to provide everything from youth programs and employment services to food assistance and a world class theater. Its work is rooted in a simple idea: The people who live in the neighborhood are the ones who know how to make their lives there better. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with the new president and CEO of Pillsbury United Communities about taking the helm at a time when local communities are facing so many challenges, and how the arts and connection can help people heal. Guests: Signe Harriday is the new president and CEO of Pillsbury United Communities, one of the Twin Cities' oldest and largest nonprofits. The organization runs several community centers in Minneapolis and programs aimed at uplifting communities. She previously acted, directed and taught with Pillsbury House + Theatre before becoming the organization's artistic producing director in 2021. Antonio Cardona is director of advancement at Pillsbury United Communities. He was previously the vice president of career readiness at Project for Pride in Living. Before that, he worked at Pillsbury for 15 years, primarily overseeing workforce development and charter schools.

What if following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey? In Acts 2, the early church didn't simply gather for a service—they created a community centered on Jesus. They shared life, worshiped together, prayed together, served one another, met practical needs, and helped each other grow. In this message, Pastor Ken Senchal explores why biblical community is essential to abiding in Jesus. Because the people God places around us can help us become more like Christ. But authentic community requires more than simply showing up at church. It requires us to move from attendance to belonging. Pastor Ken explores three obstacles that can keep us from experiencing the kind of community God designed: Pride and self-sufficiency — believing, "I've got this," when God created us to need one another. Busyness and misplaced priorities — allowing our schedules to make spiritual community optional. Past hurts and unresolved offenses — allowing what happened in unhealthy relationships to keep us from the healthy relationships God wants to bring into our lives. The answer isn't isolation. The answer to unhealthy community is healthy biblical community. Ecclesiastes 4 reminds us that when one person falls, another can help them back up—and Scripture assumes that eventually, we all need someone. So the question isn't whether you'll need community. The question is: Will you allow yourself to be part of one?

Welcome back to another episode of The Pride Pod! ⚽

Episode 4: The Danger of Pride - Daniel 4Pride has a way of convincing us that we are stronger, wiser, and more important than we really are.In Daniel 4, King Nebuchadnezzar stood at the height of his power and looked over Babylon as though everything he had accomplished was because of him. But God was about to teach the king a lesson he would never forget.In this episode of Lessons from the Life of Daniel, we look at The Danger of Pride and the devastating effects pride can have on our lives.We'll see that pride affects more than just ourselves. It causes us to take credit for what God has done, pushes us toward isolation, and ultimately brings us low. Scripture warns us that pride goes before destruction.But there is an answer.Humility begins when we humble ourselves before God, recognize our complete dependence upon Him, put others before ourselves, stop living for our own glory, and remember that everything we have ultimately comes from God.And above all, we look to Jesus Christ, the ultimate example of humility.Pride says, “I've got this.”Humility says, “Without Christ, I can do nothing.”Join us for Episode 4 as we study Daniel 4 and learn why the answer to pride is not thinking less of God's blessings, but remembering where every blessing came from.Episode 4: The Danger of PrideText: Daniel 4Series: Lessons from the Life of DanielHave a question or want to connect with the podcast?

For this week's edition of Overdrive Radio we're picking up with longtime trucker-songwriter and performer #TonyJustice after getting the opportunity last week to share news of the Large Cars & Guitars truck show's big $14K haul for the Susan G. Komen foundation. That makes $200K-plus given by the show's participating truckers and sponsors to the breast cancer awareness, support, and research advocacy group over Large Cars' brief five-year history: https://overdriveonline.com/15831558 Everybody loves a big novelty check presentation, right? In case you missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y-t6j0YfA8 Tune in for history of the long road toward launching the Large Cars show, consistently bringing upward of 100 trucks participating, thelast two years at the iconic Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee. Charitable donations aren't the only reason Justice has been in the news at OverdriveOnline.com in recent weeks, though. He's now the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit independent recording artists like himself are bringing against the Suno AI-generated-music platform. The Justice v. Suno case alleges copyright infringement, essentially, in the process of scraping recordings to store and train the company's AI models on. Approached by attorneys, Tony Justice didn't immediately come to the decision to get out front in the fight, but he's clearly dedicated now, watching his trucking-music income from streaming dwindle with the proliferation of AI-generated songs flooding listening platforms. "We have tech and corporate America coming in and trampling on the little guy," he said. "Anytime I'm in a position to use my voice to fight for the little guy, I feel like I need to do that." Listen here further to Justice's reasoning, it's not hard to let your mind wander to something closer to the center of the trucking -- just how good so-called AI is or can or will get at driving the trucks themselves. Companies like Kodiak and Aurora and so many others have trained self-driving models on the roads today, with drivers' help, in hopes to bring full automation to the task -- "AI" to your seat at the wheel. "This is how we live. This is how we support our families," he said. "We've gotta fight for it. There's too many times you hear" people complaining about this or that, but "when it comes time to do something about it, everybody goes quiet. ... People need to put in an effort doing something about it, and standing up." Justice speaks to his own motivation in the suit here, but it dovetails with trucking, too. How long before significant numbers of drivers are displaced is anybody's guess. We've seen recent cases of pro drivers voicing concerns on those and other, safety grounds directly to the U.S. Department of Transportation and Congress, too. In short, the effort to raise the alarm is getting hotter: https://overdriveonline.com/15828271 Justice is clearly motivated to take up the cause of fellow independent artists like himself, on the road to protecting that talent he's got. As his comments suggest, though, more truckers might soon be motivated to do the same with theirs.

Join the "STEAM Punks" from the ACN summer program for an exciting, behind-the-scenes conversation with animator, storyboard artist, and Lesley University professor Brandon Strathmann. In this episode, Brandon pulls back the curtain on what it is really like to work in professional animation studios, sharing stories from his time doing fast-paced "floater" storyboard retakes for Family Guy, character acting for DreamWorks' CG comedy Father of the Pride, and concept design for the medieval world of Neopets.Brandon explains the mechanics of storyboarding, describing it as a visual comic strip where you act as both a director of photography and a camera inside the environment, and shares the techniques he used to visually time comedic beats. He also discusses co-creating a Japan travel-study class, teaching students about classical Japanese aesthetics like Wabi-sabi and Notan, and exploring the legendary Ghibli Museum and Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum.For young creators staring at a blank page, Brandon delivers crucial industry advice on overcoming perfectionism, remaining adaptable to rapid technological changes, and why "failure is the first step to success".#SteamboxPodcast #Storyboarding #AnimationCareers #FamilyGuy #AnimeAesthetics #StudioGhibli #LesleyArtAndDesign #YouthInMedia #CharacterDesign #KeepDrawing

We start a new series of quotes today. This series is on Humility. It is a great follow-up to last month's series on Pride, as the two are a great balance to one another. As I said last month, pride can be a good thing if not taken too far. When we go too far with it, though, it becomes arrogance, and arrogance is ugly on everyone. Humility on the other hand is always welcome and appreciated by anyone who encounters someone else displaying it. And it is an absolutely essential quality for leaders to possess. You will hear 5 quotes in today's episode.As always, I am so grateful to all of you who support the podcast! I do this show because of you. While I enjoy the quotes myself, I do this podcast because many of you who are looking for inspiration and impact from these quotes come back and listen to it on a consistent basis.

There is a profound difference between believing in God and truly belonging to Him. One is a starting point. The other is a way of life. Leviticus 26 lays out an extraordinary promise: if God's people walk with Him and honor His commands, the blessings will be overwhelming. Food, security, peace, and fruitfulness are all on the table. But after thirteen verses of blessing after blessing, the greatest gift God offers is not any of those things. It is His own presence. He says, 'I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.' The ultimate blessing has always been God Himself.This truth carries into the New Testament, where believers are described as temples of the Holy Spirit. We are not our own. We were bought with a price. That reality calls us to a posture of stewardship rather than ownership over our own lives. Obedience is not how we earn redemption, which comes by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone, but it is how we enjoy fellowship with God. Leviticus 26 also gives a sobering warning: pride and hostility toward God lead to real consequences. Every sin is rooted in pride, and God identifies the breaking of that pride as central to restoration. There are only two postures before Him: humility or hostility.The good news is that Jesus, through His atonement, makes a way back. Sin separates us from God, but Christ makes us at one with Him again. From Genesis to Revelation, the thread running through all of Scripture is God pursuing closeness with the people He created and loves. That same invitation stands today. Not just on Sunday mornings, but across every area of life, including our time, our relationships, our finances, and our futures. When we live with the awareness that everything belongs to Him, we move from simply believing in God to genuinely belonging to God, and in that belonging, we walk in the greatest blessing available to any human being: the presence of God Himself.

Pride promises freedom, but it leaves us bound to ego, comparison, anxiety, and the opinions of others. In this message, we'll discover that true freedom isn't found in independence from God, but in humble dependence on Him, and that surrender to God is the path to rest, grace, and real freedom.

Join us as Mike Bongo continues our sermon series, The Way of Wisdom, with a sermon entitled "Pride and Humility" from Proverbs 29:23.

In this episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator Cruz and Ben Ferguson discuss a Senate hearing focused on the Muslim Brotherhood, allegations of ties between certain advocacy organizations and Islamist movements, the Democratic primary victory of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, cultural controversies surrounding James Talarico's Texas Senate campaign, and reports that Democratic attorneys general coordinated legal strategies against Donald Trump before the 2024 election was decided. They examine the political implications of these developments and argue that each reflects larger battles over national security, cultural values, and the future direction of American politics. A Senate hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood and its alleged influence in the United States sparks controversy after Democratic members of the subcommittee decline to attend. The discussion raises questions about national security, political alliances, and how terrorism-related concerns are being debated in Washington. The episode also examines newly surfaced campaign footage involving James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Texas, and a broader debate over cultural issues, LGBTQ events, and the role of identity politics in modern campaigns. Finally, attention turns to documents reported to show coordination among Democratic state attorneys general to prepare legal challenges against Donald Trump prior to his return to office, raising questions about lawfare, federal authority, and the political use of litigation. Topics Covered: Senate hearing on the Muslim Brotherhood and Democratic boycott of the proceeding Testimony regarding CARE, the Holy Land Foundation, and terrorism-related allegations discussed at the hearing Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and concerns raised by hearing witnesses about organizational ties James Talarico's Texas Senate campaign and controversy surrounding participation in a Pride event Reports of coordinated litigation planning by Democratic attorneys general against Donald Trump Debate over national security, political coalitions, and the use of legal challenges in partisan conflicts Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Most Enneagram teaching is very good at describing what's wrong with you. This episode is about what's right. Every Enneagram type has a Passion — the chief emotional distortion the ego runs when it's disconnected from its truest self. Anger for the One. Pride for the Two. Deceit for the Three. Each of the nine types has one, and most of us have spent a lot of energy trying to manage ours without quite knowing what it is. But every type also has a Virtue. Not a moral achievement you add on top — a quality that naturally arises in the heart when the Passion loosens its grip. Serenity. Humility. Authenticity. Equanimity. Non-Attachment. Courage. Sobriety. Innocence. Right Action. These aren't things you build. They're things that emerge when you stop being in the way of yourself. In this final episode of the Enneagram Essentials series, Anthony and I walk through all nine Passions and their corresponding Virtues. I share what Equanimity feels like in my own life as a Four — when I manage to access it — and we close with two honest answers to the question of how any of this actually becomes real: contemplative practice, and a particular kind of willingness to stop running from pain. This is a hopeful episode. Everything in the series has been building toward this. The Enneagram has always been pointing here.   This is Episode 5 of 5 in the Enneagram Essentials series. All five episodes are available now wherever you listen to Typology.   RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:  The Road Back to You by Ian Morgan Cron  The Story of You by Ian Morgan Cron Enneagram Assessment | Find Your Type Ian's speaking and organizational work   Follow Ian on Instagram | Facebook | TikTok | YouTube
