This episode is one from the archives where I'm joined by homeopaths and Family Constellations facilitators Poppy Altmann and Naphia Reggiani, alongside my friend and colleague Monique Carmen.This conversation was recorded when What Heals was Raw Health Rebel Podcast, shortly after I attended my first Family Constellations workshop and came away completely blown open.We go into one of the most fascinating areas of healing. Family systems and inherited trauma. The patterns we carry without even realising they may not have started with us.Poppy and Naphia explain what Family Constellations are, how the work began, what actually happens in a workshop and why simply seeing what has been hidden can sometimes create a profound shift.This is not about blame or endlessly analysing the past. It is about looking at the wider systems we belong to, and asking whether healing sometimes begins when we give something its rightful place.If you've ever felt stuck in a repeating pattern, sensed there was something deeper moving through your family line, or been curious about Family Constellations, this is a conversation worth listening to.Key takeawaysWhat Family Constellations are and how they workInherited trauma and hidden family dynamicsWhy previous generations may still influence the presentThe role of the ‘knowing field'How healing can happen even as a participantBelonging, order and inclusion within family systemsThe connection between Family Constellations and homeopathyWe also talk aboutBert Hellinger and the origins of the workRepresenting family members in a constellationWhy sceptics can still have powerful experiencesHealth constellations and chronic illnessRelationships, money and work patternsThe Netflix series Another SelfWhy group work can feel surprisingly safeResources mentionedPoppy Altmannhttps://www.poppyaltmann.com/Naphia Reggianihttps://naphiareggiani.co.uk/Barbara Morgan – Coming Home: A First Step into the World of Family ConstellationsNetflix: Another Self Send us Fan MailJoin Lisa's new global homeopathy community, The Atrium, here.

Christians ofevery age have had to contend with the danger of ungodly unbelieversinfiltrating and affecting the Christian community. Jude mixes togetherreassuring theological affirmations of God's love and power with pointedlypoetic attacks on ungodliness and wise practical instructions regarding whatbelievers are to do when they find themselves in such situations. Jim SamraThe Purpose of JudeJude wants his readers to understand who his opponents are, the ecologicaljudgment toward which they are moving, and, by implication, what willhappen to Christians who fall prey to their deceptions. He also gives hisreaders a threefold strategy for coping with the false teachers in the present.• Build yourself up in the most holy faith (v.20a).• Pray in the Holy Spirit (v.20b)• Keep yourself in God's love (v. 21a) Jude builds the strategy on the hope that not only can his readers avoidfalling prey to the false teaching, but that they can rescue other—includingthe false teachers themselves—who are already in its grasp. Frank ThielmanUPG FOCUS: The Yao in Malawi The Yao are a large people group in southeastern Africa, primarily living in Malawi, where most are subsistence farmers and fishermen. Though they identify as Muslim, many blend Islamic practices with traditional spiritual beliefs, creating strong spiritual barriers to the gospel. Despite having Scripture and some outreach efforts, very few follow Christ and the community remains resistant. Pray for those barriers to be broken, for the Word of God to take root, and for a growing movement of believers among the Yao.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 05/24 29,133Giving For 05/31 19,095YTD Budget 1,661,538Giving 1,930,553 OVER/(UNDER) 269,015Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, June 14, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

This episode is one from the archives where I'm joined by Ashley Frager — homeopathic practitioner with a deep interest in environmental health, non-toxic living and the role of maintaining causes in chronic illness.This conversation was recorded when What Heals was Raw Health Rebel Podcast, but in many ways it feels even more relevant now.We go into one of the most overlooked pieces in healing. Environment. Toxic load. Fragrance. Household products. Why some symptoms keep returning. And what happens when the body is still being exposed to something it cannot tolerate.Ashley shares her extraordinary health story, from becoming severely unwell in her early twenties to discovering constitutional homeopathy and completely changing the trajectory of her life.We talk about how she moved into homeopathic practice, why she became so interested in the everyday products people were using in their homes and how maintaining causes can quietly block progress.This is not about fear or perfection. It's about asking a deeper question: what conditions are we asking the body to heal in?If you've ever felt stuck in a case, wondered why symptoms keep returning, or been curious about the link between homeopathy and environmental load, this is a conversation worth listening to.Key takeawaysWhy maintaining causes can stop healing from holdingEnvironmental toxins, fragrance and household productsConstitutional homeopathy and Ashley's personal healing storyWhy some symptoms may be warning signs rather than the real problemThe importance of looking beyond diagnosis and into the whole personWhy “clean” or “natural” products are not always as clean as they appearHow everyday exposures may quietly add to the body's burdenWhy laundry detergent and air fresheners are often a good place to startWe also talk aboutPANS, PANDAS and the pressure to chase a diagnosisWhy homeopathy does not prescribe by diagnosis aloneBioenergetic testing and Ashley's clinical observationsThe “fragrance loophole” and why scent can be so pervasiveGreenwashing in non-toxic productsThe difference between sensitivity and the body's warning systemSymptom suppression and why rashes may matterThe frustration of treating while the obstacle remainsWhy healing sometimes requires changing the environment tooSend us Fan MailJoin Lisa's new global homeopathy community, The Atrium, here.

We're back with another Real Brides episode! Alexis and Shannon share the real stories behind their wedding days—from meaningful family moments to letting go of perfection and truly enjoying the experience. With two completely different wedding styles, this episode gives a refreshing look at what actually matters when the big day arrives.Alexis shares her July 2025 waterfront wedding at the Roostertail in Detroit, including how she handled extreme heat, why getting ready at her childhood home made the day more meaningful, and the quiet moment she shared with her dad before walking down the aisle. She talks about planning around a holiday weekend, skipping hotel blocks and shuttles, and how small custom details—like sewing a piece of her mom's dress into her gown—made everything feel all that much more personal!Shannon walks us through her January 2026 winter wedding at St. John's Resort (the Atrium), where snowfall right before the ceremony created a magical atmosphere. She shares why she skipped traditional bridesmaids, how she hosted a relaxed and joyful getting-ready morning with 20+ friends, and what it looked like to release control during planning. Shannon also opens up about decision fatigue, trusting vendors, and the surprising truth about what actually mattered on her wedding day!Shannon's makeup artist: Andrea Fontana Beauty: www.andreafontanabeauty.comWhat you'll walk away with:How to simplify your wedding day logistics (and what you can skip entirely) Creative ways to make your wedding more personal and meaningful A fresh perspective on bridal parties and getting-ready experiences Why letting go of perfection leads to a better wedding day What truly matters once the day finally arrivesIf you have questions for Sarah to answer, send an email to hello@sarahkolis.comConnect with Sarah: Website: https://sarahkolis.com/Instagram: https://instagram.com/sarahkolisdesigns/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbh7HlVmyj9N5VsleuySxcQ

The nonprofit supports displaced people and refugees in the U.S. and across the world.Alight-a-Whirl features a 500-piece art sale with work by local, international and refugee artists, as well as pop-up events, including a Friday happy hour and portrait painting.

She might be recognizable because she developed the artwork with NEMAA for the Art-a-Whirl branding this year, and she's got a really cool new series called The People's Pantry, which is using really familiar objects like foods and pantry staples to explore some of her lived experience and then reflect on migration and cultural access.— Molly ReopelleGender Joy Art ShowJenn Watters in Duluth recommends seeing the annual Gender Joy Art Show, whose creative works are expressions of joy made by female and gender expansive people of all ages. The exhibit is put on this year by the YWCA of Duluth and the Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault (PAVSA), and the show will include work created by PAVSA's weekly art group. New this year is an interactive art exhibit entitled “The Elephant in the Room,” hosted by Rachel Gilbertson of Art of Presence. Visitors to the exhibit are encouraged to write words or phrases they've received that were harmful to their gender identity, which Gilbertson will transform into a brightly colored work with an elephant's face emerging from the chaos. The exhibition runs until June 27 in the Atrium of Zeitgeist in Duluth.Watters who particularly enjoys seeing the work created by children.Jenn says: This is one of my favorite art shows each year.— Jenn WattersOne Subject PressDeborah Keenan, a Twin Cities poet and former longtime teacher at Hamline's MFA program, is trumpeting the work of former student Zach Czaia, who runs One Subject Press. A year ago, Czaia bought a Chicago-based press and moved it to Minneapolis, through which he publishes a wide range of work from poetry to fiction to theology. On Friday, May 15, the press will celebrate its one-year anniversary with an evening of literary readings and food. Czaia will read, along with poets Greg Watson and Suzanne Swanson, and attendees are invited to bring a poem to share. The event runs from 6-8 p.m. at Inkwell Booksellers in northeast Minneapolis. It is open to the public, though registration is requested through the press.Deborah says: It's called One Subject Press after a Richard Rodriguez quote: “There is only one subject: what it feels like to be alive. Nothing is irrelevant. Nothing is typical.” That's the flag Zach carries into battle, and it's a great flag.I think lots of people who love poetry and essays should absolutely show up [to this event.]— Deborah Keenan

Die wahren Podstocks sind die Podstocks, die wir verloren haben. Nicht verloren wie einen Autoschlüssel oder einen Waschlappen, den man nach zwei Übernachtungen über dem Handtuchhalter hängen lässt, sondern verloren in dieser besonderen Weise, in der etwas wundervoll Schönes, kurz nachdem es in einem Zimmer unseres Lebens geschehen ist, schon in ein anderes Zimmer hinübergeht. Einen Moment lang steht die Türe noch einen Spalt offen, dann schließt sie sich. Dort sitzt es dann neben dem Geschmack eines asiatischen Gemüsecurrys, dem metallischen Geruch einer Wunderkerze, dem warmen Klang einer Gitarre und dem Atem einer Küche um zwei Uhr nachts, und wartet, bis ein Geruch, ein Lied oder ein Schluck Mate es wieder aufweckt. Ich glaubte, Podstock sei ein Wochenende gewesen. Zwei Nächte, ein Programm, ein quietschendes, unebenes Bett, ein Frühstück, zu dem man zu spät oder zu früh oder gar nicht kam, eine Bühne, Lieder, ein Heimweg im beheizten Autositz. Mais non. Erst später, zurück im gewohnten Zimmer des Lebens, wenn der Kalender wieder seine bunten Blöcke zeigt, die den Tag ordnen und zumauern, bis man dahinter nichts mehr erkennen kann und niemand mehr im Treppenhaus „Heute kann es regnen“ singt, verstehe ich, dass Podstock nicht dort war, wo ich es damals vermutete. Nicht in Damme, nicht im Zelthaus, nicht im Atrium. Es war in diesem kurzen Blick, den jemand mir zuwarf, getragen von einer Ahnung, dass gleich etwas sehr Schönes passieren würde. Und so wird die Erinnerung nicht grau, nicht traurig oder nostalgisch, solange man sie nicht presst, trocknet und einheftet. Man muss sie atmen lassen. Man darf von ihr zehren wie von einem kleinen Vorrat Licht: nicht, um die Gegenwart zu verdunkeln, sondern um sie besser auszuleuchten. Denn was vergangen ist, ist nicht fort. Es hat nur die Form gewechselt. Aus Blicken wurden Feuer, aus Gesprächen Wärme, aus Umarmungen Zuhause, aus Applaus Dankbarkeit, aus Udos Podcastpreis auf Papier eine kindliche Freude und aus einem Wochenende Flügel. Vielleicht ist das die eigentliche Kunst: nicht zurückzuwollen, sondern zu wissen, dass etwas so schön war, dass es in einem weiterarbeitet. Ohne Eintrittsbändchen. Aber mit einer liebevollen Gewissheit: Es war wirklich da. Und gerade weil es vorbei ist, gehört es uns auf eine Weise, die uns die Zeit niemals nehmen kann. Und vielleicht ist das Schönste an einer Erinnerung, die nicht versucht, festzuhalten, sondern trägt: dass sie uns nicht zurückzieht, sondern nach vorn. Zum nächsten Podstock.

State lawmakers, the Raleigh mayor, a group that represents state employees and the state’s elected attorney general, auditor and treasurer are among those weighing in on a takeover deal between two state hospital systems. Atrium Health is in position to take control of WakeMed. WRAL state government editor Jack Hagel looks at what the deal would mean, why some officials are sounding the alarm and what the future looks like as the deal is put on pause.

Think about a time in your life when you experienced significant spiritual growth. What were some of the key elements that led to your growth?Our Passive Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:1-4)2. What does it mean that God “has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness” (1:3)? Does this mean we don't need any outside resources like books or other people? How would you explain this?3. One way we grow and become “partakers of the divine nature” is by hearing and believing His “precious and very great promises” (1:4). What promises has God made that encourage you most? 4. What are some practical ways we can make sure we continue believing and trusting so we keep growing in Christ? Our Active Role in Spiritual Growth (2 Peter 1:5-11)5. Peter mentions eight characteristics in vv. 5-7. We are supposed to “make every effort” to grow in these areas. In which of these areas do you need to grow?6. In v.8 we learn we should be “increasing” in these eight areas and in our spiritual growth. Are you in a season of spiritual growth right now? If not, what next steps can you take?7. Do you tend to emphasize the active role or the passive role in your spiritual growth? Which aspect needs some extra attention right now?

Grace and Gloryfor Suffering Sojourners(1 Peter 5:10-14)For the bulletin in PDF form, click here.

CarsonThe Secret to Preparing for Suffering - Kristin Wetherrell4 Reasons to be of Good Courage in Suffering - Kristin WetherrellDon't Peter Out - Swindoll6 Pillars of a Christian View on Suffering - D.A. CarsonStott on Suffering and Glory in the Cross - John StottINTRODUCTION: All Scripture is ProfitableA Final Perspective on SufferingChristian suffering is temporary and purposeful.• Temporary: Your suffering will not last forever. (5:10a).• Sovereign: Our gracious God has a long term plan for our glory (5:10b).• Purposeful: God uses suffering to restore, establish, strengthen, & ground us (5:10c).• Praise - God's sovereign purpose and grace prompt our praise (5:11).A Final Perspective on Partners and PeaceGod's grace is where we stand when times are tough.• The Letter: A message about the true grace of God (5:12a).• The Exhortation: Stand firm on the foundation of God's grace in suffering (5:12b).• The Greetings: Partners in ministry care for one another (5:13).• The Benediction: Be affectionate and rest in the peace of God (5:14).In the final analysis, when Christians sufferthey can trust that God is sovereign, suffering grows us,and God' grace is sufficient for everything we experience.Suffering SpeaksBut pain insists upon being attended to.God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience,but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. C.S. Lewis (The Problem of Pain)Home Church Questions1. Temporary SufferingPeter says that we “suffer for a little while.” Share a story or two of people whose suffering puts your own suffering in perspective as “for a little while.” Think about missionaries in persecuted areas who live theirwhole lives under threat, or someone like Joni Eareckson Tada, who has walked faithfully with the Lord for 76 years now, almost 60 of those years as a quadriplegic.2. Restored, Established, Strengthened and GroundedGod has a purpose for our suffering, and it is not always to alleviate it. How has God used suffering in your life to accomplish the purposes set forth in this passage? How have you been equipped, solidified, bolstered,and grounded?3. To Him be the “power” forever, Amen.Usually, we would expect the word “glory” where we read “power” or “dominion.” Why is “power” appropriate? Karen Jobes claims that God's eternal might “makes Roman glory look like a withered flower.”When have you experienced this?4. Stand Fast in the True Grace of God.Peter says his purpose was to encourage his readers. Have you been encouraged by this book? How? How do we “Stand fast in the true grace of God?”5. A Final Look Back:As we finish the book of 1 Peter, think back over the messages and flip through the passages. What encouragements have you taken with you? In what way does 1 Peter provide a unique message that you need?UPG FOCUS: The Amma Kenanga in India The Amma Kodaga are a small Hindu people group living in the hilly regions of southern India, where they farm crops like coffee and spices and live in close-knit, tradition-rich communities. Though the New Testament is available in their language, there are no known believers among them. Pray that they would be drawn to Jesus, that disciples would be raised up among them, and that workers would go to share the gospel.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/12 22,618Giving For 04/19 40,027YTD Budget 1,453,846Giving 1,776,190 OVER/(UNDER) 322,344 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong.

Friendship: Built, Broken, Restored 1 Samuel 18:1-4 Message SlidesFor the bulletin in PDF, click here. 1. Friendship Built (1 Sam 18:1-4)-True friendship is built on shared values.-True friendship is built on selflessness.2. Friendship Broken (1 Sam 18:8-15)-True friendship breaks apart because of selfishness.-True friendship breaks apart because of deep anger.3. Friendship Restored (John 15:12-15)-Jesus provides the way for my relationship with God to be restored. -Jesus provides the way for relationships to be restored in His community.Home Church Questions1. Jonathan and David are united around common values (1 Sam 18:1-4). What are some of the common interests that have been at the center of your friendships over the years? Talk about some of your key friendships throughout your life. 2. Why is it difficult to have friendships where we are truly concerned with the well-being of the other person and not driven by “what's in it for me?” What are some practical steps we can take to ensure we focus on the other person and don't focus solely on ourselves? 3. What are some of the common sins that negatively impact relationships? How have you experienced this in your life? What are some of the patterns of sin in your life that have prevented you from having healthy relationships?4. Is there an area in your life where you need to trust God's sovereignty and deal with anger and past hurt? Explain. How might addressing anger and past hurt help you in your relationships? 5. What are some ways Jesus has been a better friend to us than any other person could be (see John 15:12-15)? Why should my friendship/relationship with God make me a better friend to others?6. Have you experienced healthy Christian friendship where there was forgiveness, grace, truth, and accountability? Share about those relationships and how they formed. 7. What are some practical steps you can take to experience good, healthy friendships? Pray for the Unreached: The Samaritans in West Bank/GazaThe Samaritans are a very small, ancient community living primarily near Mount Gerizim in the West Bank and in Holon, Israel. Descended from a long and complex history, they maintain distinct religious traditions centered on the Pentateuch and worship on Mount Gerizim. Though they share historical roots with Judaism, they remain a separate and tightly knit ethnic faith community. Pray that, just as in the New Testament, many Samaritans would encounter Jesus personally and embrace Him as the promised Messiah, and begin multiplying house churches.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 04/05 30,714Giving For 04/12 22,618YTD Budget 1,419,231Giving 1,736,163 OVER/(UNDER) 316,932 Easter OfferingAt Fellowship, we've seen firsthand how something as simple as a van can open doors for ministry—serving students, supporting outreach, and making it easier for people to connect and belong.

While the other girls drink expensive gin, Eris conducts business. Only... Maybe these new business relationships are more complicated than they first appeared. Who will be the first to ruin the party?Cast:  Collateral – MaddieBinary – DotEris – ShannonJet - CydContinuity Editor- DotEditor/Producer- CydGamemaster/Executive Producer – EricIntro Music by SynthezxOutro Music by Austin MillerBackground Music by Machinima SoundSupport us on Patreon at patreon.com/restingglitchface for behind the scenes clips and early episode releases!

In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, host Etienne Nichols sits down with John Schindler, CEO of Liquet Medical, for a "MedTech Founder 101" masterclass. With over 25 years of experience at industry giants like Atrium and Merit Medical, Schindler shares the "painful reality checks" that come when transitioning from the structured umbrella of a large corporation to the high-stakes, resource-dependent world of a startup.The conversation dives deep into the philosophy of "novel but simple" technology. Schindler explains why simplicity is often harder to fund but essential for physician adoption and long-term market success. He challenges the current industry obsession with over-engineered solutions, arguing that the pendulum is swinging back toward intuitive, easy-to-use devices that don't "break the system" of healthcare delivery.Finally, the discussion covers the tactical realities of commercialization, including the nuances of the "Valley of Death." Schindler outlines why a limited market release is often superior to broad distribution and emphasizes the importance of building strategic enterprise value through intentional clinical data that speaks to both regulatory bodies and hospital value analysis committees.Key Timestamps00:45 – Introduction to John Schindler and Liquet Medical's mission.02:15 – The Corporate vs. Startup Reality: Losing the safety net of big-company resources.04:30 – Simplicity vs. Complexity: Why investors favor "shiny" tech but physicians crave simplicity.07:50 – The MedTech Innovator Experience: Leveraging human capital and "pressure testing" your company.10:15 – Unlearning Corporate Silos: The necessity of radical collaboration in early-stage teams.12:40 – Clinical Data Strategies: Moving beyond "clinical wins" to hospital value analysis.15:30 – Establishing "Soft Endpoints" for payers and rural healthcare settings.18:20 – Negotiating as a Cash-Strapped Startup: Approaching vendors and regulatory services with humility.21:10 – The Regulatory Chess Game: Why early engagement with the FDA prevents timeline resets.24:35 – Commercialization and the 510(k) vs. IDE strategy.27:15 – The Risks of Distribution Agreements: Why products "fall to the bottom of the bag."Quotes"The complexity can actually break the system in some ways. Physicians always gravitate back towards simplicity—things that are easy for them to wrap their heads around." - John SchindlerTakeawaysMaster the Holistic Approach: Founders should seek exposure to every facet of the business—sales, management, and business development—to understand how their innovation responds "in the trenches."Everything is Negotiable: Especially for cash-strapped startups, approaching regulatory and quality service providers with humility can lead to flexible contract structures that help build a strong foundation early.Clinical Data is for Post-Submission too: Don't just collect data to satisfy the FDA; identify "soft endpoints" that prove economic value to hospital value analysis committees and payers.Control Your Launch: A Limited Market Release (LMR) allows a startup to "get their nose bloodied" on a small scale, refining the sales methodology before attempting to scale nationally.Avoid the "Bottom of the Bag" Syndrome: Be cautious with large distribution agreements early on. If the sales force isn't properly incentivized or trained, your product may be ignored in favor of higher-margin legacy items.ReferencesMedTech Innovator: The world's largest accelerator for medical device companies.Hal Stowe (Eurofins): Referenced for his recent article on the strategic value of a purposeful regulatory strategy.Etienne Nichols: Connect with the host on LinkedIn.MedTech 101: The 510(k) vs. IDEIn this episode, John mentions having a 510(k) clearance but needing an IDE trial.510(k): Think of this as the "Me Too" pathway. You are telling the FDA your device is "substantially equivalent" to one already on the market. It gets you through the door, but often with limited claims (a "tool claim").IDE (Investigational Device Exemption): This allows your device to be used in a clinical study to collect safety and effectiveness data. It's like a "permit" to do the deep research needed to prove your device can treat a specific, high-stakes condition like a pulmonary embolism.SponsorsThis episode is brought to you by Greenlight Guru.

Lead by Example:Who is watching your example? What do they see in your life that would point them to Christ or strengthen their faith? What needs to change to make you more effective as an example to others?2. Follow the Leader:It takes humility to follow leadership. How are you doing with this? Are you working hard to be supportive even if it is hard?3. Humility, Prayer, and Spiritual Warfare:Why do you think these three things are grouped together? What might be the sequence for this in your life? This is the second reference to humility. Why is it so important in the Christian Life?4.

Resurrection and Return:Life in the Already . . . Not Yet1 Peter Message SlidesFor the bulletin in PDF form, click here. Message SlidesMessage Slides Resurrection 1:3 “through the resurrection of Jesus Christ” 3:21-22 “Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven” Return 1:5 “a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time” 1:13 “the grace that will be brought to you” 5:4 “when the chief Shepherd appears” Life in the Already 1:3 “he has caused us to be born again” 2:9-10 “you are a holy nation . . . God's people” 2:24 “By his wounds you have been healed” Life in the Not Yet 1:4 “an inheritance . . . kept in heaven for you” 2:11 “sojourners and exiles” 4:12 “do not be surprised at the fiery trial” 5:8 “the devil prowls around like a roaring lion” 5:10 “after you have suffered a little while”Home Church Questions1. Peter appeals to Jesus' resurrection at the beginning of the letter (1:3). How confident are you that Jesus rose from the grave? What are some reasons you believe this?2. For Peter, the resurrection means He will return and finish what He started (1:5). Why does the resurrection prove He will return? How confident are you that Jesus will return? What are some reasons you believe this?3. We live between these two key events (resurrection and return) in what many have called the “already/not yet.” Is this a new concept for you? How would you summarize what the already/not yet means?4. What are some of the benefits of Christ's resurrection that we can experience now (for example, see 1:3, 2:9-10, and 2:24)? What benefit stands out to you in your life right now? Explain.5. What are some of the benefits of Christ's resurrection that we won't fully experience until His return? Why is “life in the not yet” often challenging for us? What challenges are you currently experiencing because of the not yet?6. Do you tend to emphasize the already or the not yet? Explain.7. We discussed how the already/not yet mindset can change how we view everything: politics, marriage, church, blessings, and salvation. Which of these areas do you need to develop more of the already/not yet perspective? Explain. Pray for the Unreached: The Saek in Thailand The Saek are a small Tai-speaking people living in northeastern Thailand and parts of Laos. Though officially Buddhist, daily life is strongly shaped by animistic beliefs and fear of spirits. Most live in rural villages, farming rice and maintaining close-knit family communities. Scripture translation has begun, but there are no known believers among them. Pray for the Saek to be freed from fear, to encounter the hope of Christ, and for a vibrant local church to take root among them.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 03/22 37,881Giving For 03/29 28,356YTD Budget 1,350,000Giving 1,682,831 OVER/(UNDER) 332,831 Fellowship 101 - April 12 | 9:00 a.m Whether you've been visiting Fellowship Conway for a few weeks or a few months, we'd love to invite you to take the next step in getting connected.

Read Philippians 2:1-11. This parallel passage to Peter's teaching in 1 Peter 4:1-2 expands on the truth found there. Both passages encourage us to follow the example of Christ. How does Philippians 2:1-11 give you additional hope, confidence, and courage for your own suffering?2. In the Bible Belt, how do you resist the pull of the American Dream while still accepting that suffering is often part of God's will for us? How do you pursue faithfulness to Christ when the surrounding culture constantly pressures you to seek comfort, success, and security—especially when Scripture teaches that hardship and self-denial are frequently God's will for believers?3. In the most practical way you can, articulate what it means to “arm yourself” with the same attitude Christ had when He suffered? Can you give any examples of when you have done this?4. Jesus, far beyond any of us, suffered when He did not deserve it. How does this frame our response when we recognize that our suffering is also undeserved? Are we entitled to a life of blessing?5. Have you ever experienced rejection by a past community because you chose to live according to your Christian convictions? Have you ever remained quiet about your Christian practices in order to avoid this?6. What about your current way of living as a believer and faithful follower of Christ is seen by unbelievers as, in the words of Nijay Gupta's book, “Strange Religion?”UPG FOCUS: Pray for the Tai Do in LaosThe Tai Do are a small ethnic group living primarily in central Laos, with a few communities in Vietnam. They follow traditional animistic beliefs, seeking to appease spirits for protection and blessing. Only a small number of believers are known among them, and Scripture translation has just begun. Pray that the growing number of Tai Do Christians would remain strong in faith, that the gospel would spread to every village, and that many would come to know Jesus as Lord.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 03/01 22,132Giving For 03/08 48,141 YTD Budget 1,246,154Giving 1,588,461 OVER/(UNDER) 342,307Fellowship Men's MusterMen's Muster is April 17-19, 2026.
