In this episode I am joined by Ani Pema, an American nun in the Tibetan Buddhist religion and former swami in the Siddha Yoga organisation. Ani Pema recalls her childhood in Boise Idaho, her high flying career in fashion working for Vogue magazine, and how dissatisfaction with the American dream set her on a spiritual search. Ani Pema details her sixteen years of close discipleship and ordination under the renowned Siddha Yoga guru Swami Muktananda, her transformative encounters with the 16th Karmapa, and her subsequent discipleship under Tibetan Buddhist teachers such as Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche and Namkhai Nyingpo. Ani Pema also explains the powerful phenomena of shaktipat including the severe karmic consequences for its use, reflects on Western shaktipat gurus such as Rudi and Adi Da Samraj, and gives her heart advice for those who wish to follow the spiritual path. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep314-me-my-gurus-ani-pema Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'.

Navigating family relationships when you disagree with your family's church choice is one of the most challenging situations Christians face. Pastor Heath Lambert provides biblical wisdom for this delicate balance between family loyalty and theological convictions. Using the framework of theological triage, this episode helps believers understand when to compromise, when to stand firm, and how love should guide every decision in church conflicts.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction: The Family Church Dilemma0:39 - The Question: Attending Unbiblical Churches for Family Unity1:49 - Why This Question Matters: Children and Family Dynamics2:51 - Understanding Biblical vs Unbiblical: Not All Errors Are Equal3:06 - Theological Triage: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Issues4:05 - Primary Issues: Salvation-Essential Doctrines4:55 - Secondary Issues: Important but Not Salvation-Critical5:16 - Baptism Example: Baptist vs Presbyterian Practices6:46 - Tertiary Issues: End Times and Christian Disagreements8:17 - The Law of Love: 1 John 4:7 as the Ultimate Guide8:53 - Pride vs Conviction: Testing Our Motivations9:26 - When Love Means Compromise vs When Love Means Standing Firm10:13 - Final Answer: It Depends on Error Type and Love's DirectionKEY POINTSThe Reality of Family Church Conflicts: Christians often find themselves where their theological convictions differ from their family's church choice, creating tension between honoring family and maintaining biblical faithfulness.Theological Triage Framework: Not all biblical errors are equally serious. Churches can be "unbiblical" in different ways requiring different responses - understanding this hierarchy helps believers respond appropriately.Primary Issues - Salvation Essential: Doctrines so central that denying them prevents salvation, like salvation by grace through faith alone. Churches with primary errors should generally be avoided regardless of family pressure.Secondary Issues - Important but Not Salvation-Critical: Matters affecting church practice but not salvation, like baptism methods. Faithful Christians can disagree while remaining in fellowship.Tertiary Issues - Ongoing Christian Disagreements: Matters where good Christians disagree until Christ returns, like millennium details. These shouldn't divide churches or families.The Law of Love as the Ultimate Test: Love for both family and God must guide decisions. Love sometimes requires compromise on preferences, other times demands taking a stand for essential truth.Submit your questions for future episodes to MarkedbyGrace@fbcjax.comSCRIPTURE REFERENCES1 John 4:7 - "Beloved, let us love one another" - The law of love as the guiding principle for all theological and relational decisionsActs 5:29 - "We must obey God rather than men" - Referenced principle for when obedience to God requires standing against family pressure

Episode Summary In this episode, I'm sharing why virtual just isn't enough—and why in-person events have been one of the biggest game changers in my business. As a former middle school teacher turned seven-figure entrepreneur, I didn't have the flexibility to travel and speak at conferences when I first started. So instead of waiting for someone to invite me to the stage, I created my own. Hosting workshops gave me the confidence, content, and connection I needed to build my brand—and it can do the same for you. I'm walking you through the real difference between virtual and in-person experiences, including the live coaching, immersive focus, and powerful networking that only happens when you're in the room. If you're trying to decide whether attending or hosting a live event is worth the investment, this episode breaks it all down. I also give you an inside look at the 7-Figure Bestseller Summit—an exclusive, one-day workshop where I'll personally coach you through writing your book and building a monetized brand. If you've been feeling the limitations of Zoom and you're ready for real momentum, this episode is your invitation to get in the room. Key Takeaways: In-person > virtual: You can't replicate live coaching, energy, or connections in a breakout Zoom room. Experience creates transformation: Attending live events collapses your learning curve and increases execution speed. Immersion beats information: Virtual learning often leads to procrastination; in-person environments allow for focused implementation. Strategic networking happens in hallways: Some of the most powerful collaborations and contracts are born during lunch breaks, not during keynotes. Not all events are created equal: Choose experiences with fewer speakers, more access, and a clear framework for action. Jasmine's recommendation: Every entrepreneur should host at least one live event a year, even a small workshop, to build authority and connection. Memorable Quotes: “Virtual gives you information, but in-person gives you implementation—and transformation.” “I got tired of waiting for someone to invite me to the stage… so I built my own.” “You can do more in one day at a focused, in-person event than you can in weeks at home.” “The right room can change your life. Your next opportunity might be one conversation away.” “Live events aren't about performance—they're about strategy, execution, and results.” Secure your ticket for the 7 Figure Bestseller Summit: https://www.jasminewomack.com/summit Connect with Jasmine: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejasminewomack Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/authorjasminewomack YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejasminewomack Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejasminewomack Website: https://www.jasminewomack.com Work with Me: Secure your ticket for the 7 Figure Bestseller Summit: https://www.jasminewomack.com/summit Grab a copy of my book - Published and Paid: Write, Self-Publish, and Launch Nonfiction Book in 90 Days or Less: https://www.jasminewomack.com/published-paid-book Apply to the Published and Paid®️ Mastermind: https://www.jasminewomack.com/mastermindapplication

Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified! Summer Summit may be over, but the value continues. Today, I'm chatting with one of our incredible Summit speakers, Joyce Harduvel, about a topic every school counselor needs—sustainable self-care. If you missed the Summit, it's not too late! All the recordings and PD hours are still available when you join the IMPACT membership. You'll get access to this session and so much more. Joyce is a licensed clinical social worker. She is a passionate advocate for youth and the school counselors and social workers who support them. She worked in Chicago Public Schools for seven years, where she specialized in evidence-based and trauma-informed behavior intervention for students with chronic challenging behaviors. Joyce is an advocate for proactive professional self-care that allows school-based professionals to build the sustainable careers of their dreams so that they can do what is really important: support their students! She now works with school counselors and social workers as a coach and clinical supervisor while pursuing a law degree to further her skills in championing youth. In this episode, we talk about: How to create proactive, sustainable self-care routines Why burnout is a systems issue, not a personal failure Simple ways to make your workspace more peaceful for you and your students The power of building a support system at work and at home What it means to reconnect with your "why"   Joyce shares what a typical day looks like for her now: Seeing 2–3 private practice clients (individuals, couples, kids) Attending clinical supervision sessions with small counselor/social worker groups Reading (a lot!) for law school—she recommends Speechify for educators to save time Intentional self-care moments like unplugged lunch breaks, short naps, and reading for pleasure Her routine emphasizes boundaries, rest, and balance, something we can all learn from.   Joyce's biggest tip: Don't wait to start taking care of yourself. Create a proactive self-care plan now, not once you hit burnout Give yourself grace and go slow; this work is a marathon, not a sprint Set boundaries around your time and energy (especially your lunch break!) Remember: You don't need to do everything all at once Connect with others who “get it” and lean on your community As Joyce puts it, "If you want to stay in schools, I want to help you stay in schools and make it sustainable."   Don't miss out!

Attending a New York Mets game at Citi Field is a phenomenal experience for locals and tourists alike. With its proximity to some excellent Asian food in Flushing, cheap ticket prices (generally), and a fun atmosphere, it's an activity we highly recommend!Brief History of Citi Field and the MetsFounded in 1962, they're based in Queens, New York, and have won two World Series championships (1969 and 1986). The team colors are blue and orange.Citi Field has been the Mets' home stadium since 2009, replacing the iconic Shea Stadium. Located in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, the ballpark was designed as a tribute to Brooklyn's old Ebbets Field, featuring classic brick architecture. The stadium has a capacity of about 41,900 and is known for its distinctive exterior rotunda, excellent sight lines, and the Home Run Apple that rises when a Met hits a home run.It's genuinely a beautiful stadium that feels both updated and modern, yet retains its charm. I love watching planes take off and land at nearby LaGuardia Airport as the game progresses.Best Seats at Citi FieldThere are NO bad seats at Citi Field. We often scour various ticket sites for last-minute cheap tickets, then float around the stadium throughout the game.We often have the best luck on ticket prices on Vivid Seats (plus you earn rewards for free tickets).Where to Eat/Drink Before a Mets GameThere is little to nothing right next to Citi Field, so most people either eat or drink wherever they're coming from, or go to Flushing or Corona.Corona is known for Latin food, Flushing (Main St. stop on the 7) is one of the best spots in the world for Asian, and specifically Chinese food (besides China, of course).Spots in Flushing (one stop on the subway or a 20-minute walk):Nan Xiang Soup DumplingsFood court in the basement of the New World MallPeking Duck Sandwich StallChung Moo, try the homemade kimchiWhite BearThis Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - White BearCash-only and very little seating (maybe none at all post-COVID..

Today on Black Dragon Biker TV: No Biker Clubs in Australia?A dozen men — accused of being members or associates of the notorious Nomads MC — were cuffed and forced to the ground during a police raid in Australia. Their alleged crime? Attending a backyard barbecue. Police claimed it was a biker club gathering; the men say it was just a social get-together.This is just the latest in a series of aggressive anti-bikie crackdowns happening across the country.Australia has taken some of the harshest legal and policing measures in the world against motorcycle clubs — and the results are raising serious questions about freedom, profiling, and government overreach. From anti-association laws to nationwide club bans, authorities are pushing a clear message: “There will be no biker clubs here.”In this episode, we break down:How these raids are affecting club culture and personal rightsWhat anti-association laws look like in actionWhether this could set a global precedent for MC crackdownsJoin Black Dragon, Lavish T. Williams, and Logic as we discuss how Australia's extreme approach is reshaping the biker landscape — and whether this is justice or a step too far.Watch live on: Black Dragon Biker TV: /blackdragonbikertvLavish T.

Listener Request - Re-Release GHIT 0180:  Racing 101 – Easy Entry Paths to Performance Driving and Racing aka So You Wanna Racecar - Part 3   This is part 3 of the series (of ~10) we go over several of the easiest and most popular paths to get your start performance driving and/or racing journey.  This should be considered a starting point to work from and not an exhaustive, detailed list as there are many other potential paths and organizations available across the globe.  We have already talked through several of these areas in prior episodes and will continue to cover each of these areas in future episodes.  As always, each if us if forever “In Training” no matter what our current level of performance. The outline for the series is: Part 1:  Building Your First Racecar (and options to not) Part 2:  Safety and Safety Related Equipment Needed Part 3:  Best Entry Points To Start Performance Driving Part 4:  Buying and Selling Cars (With Special Guest Lara Vernon) Part 5:  Expectations between Going To and From The Event/Track  Part 6:  Paddock and Pit – Best Practices Part 7:  Perspective of a New Driver (With Guest Adam Owens) Part 8:  Tools, Spares, Supplies Needed for a Race Weekend Part 9:  Common Issues All Drivers Will/May Experience in When On Track For the First Time Part 10:  Miscellaneous Topics (& Things We Forget to Mention Earlier)   Continuing with our racing 101 Series within our Dominating with Dawson segment, we go over a condition that is to be avoided.  It is commonly referred to as the “red mist” when racing or driving.  This is somewhat like road rage and not only negatively impacts your performance but also increases the risk of damage to you, your car, and your fellow drivers on the track.  Being cognizant of the red mist is often the biggest step to avoiding it by early recognition before becoming fully “mystified” You can subscribe to our podcast on the podcast provider of your choice, including the Apple podcast app, Google music, Amazon, and YouTube etc.   Also, if you could give our podcast a (5-star?) rating or even better, a podcast review, we would greatly appreciate it and it would help us to grow the passion and sport of performance driving. For instance, leaving an Apple Podcast rating is very easy.  If you go to your podcast library, under shows and click on the podcast you can leave a (5?) star rating and enter your review.  We hope you enjoy this episode!   PS  Please don't forget that if you are looking to add an Apex Pro to your driving telemetry system, don't forget to use our discount code for all Apex Pro systems you will receive a free Windshield Suction Cup Mount for the system, a savings of $40.  Just enter the code “ghitlikesapex!” when you order.  We have two systems for our team and Bill is looking to add a third for this season, pending CFO approval from Vicki.  They are a great system and truly invaluable in safely increasing your speed on track and/or autocross etc. Best regards,   Vicki, Jennifer, Alan, and Bill Hosts of the Garage Heroes In Training Podcast and Garage Heroes In Training racing team drivers   Highlights from this episode include: 1)  After some initial recording issues, ……. 2)  Attending an amateur driving event is a great way to start learning a bit and feeling comfortable with going to a track or racing event etc.  3)  We often joke about autocross being the “gateway drug” for performance driving and racing.  It is easy, requires very little equipment and preparation for your car, and is one of the most inexpensive ways to start performance driving.  Budget requirements are usually well under $100 or so for the day. 4)  If autocross isn't appealing to you because you always had the dream or desire to drive on a track, then perhaps SCCA's Track Night In America is the best choice for you.  You take your daily driver or your fun road car to a local track during the week and race it at the local track.  This costs a bit more but is still usually less than $200 for the evening. 5)  If you are looking for a bit more hands on coaching and structure, we always recommend attending an HPDE event.  These can be at a track or even focused on autocross, depending on the event organizer and location.  It is usually a blend of in class instruction and track time, often approximately 50/50 split, but the class time is very helpful and valuable.  Budget around $500 or so for a two-day event.  If you are looking of an HPDE targeting autocross, we enjoy going to the EVO School that costs about ½ as much for each day. 6)  If you want a bit more track time and a bit less instruction, there are several track days at local tracks with a bit less structure and instruction, but usually a bit more time on track.  We would recommend starting with an HPDE event, especially as a first time. 7)  Road Rally events aren't really racing but a great way to get started and meeting your newest bunch of friends to be.  Rally events are not a speed event but can be timed or can be based on finding checkpoints or completing challenges.  These can be a single day or multiple days; costs vary greatly from $40 to much more and are often used as a charity fundraising activity or to help the local community in some way.  These are usually on public roads and are often relaxed.  Not every rally is like the Burt Reynolds movie Cannonball Run, lol. 8)  We started by entering a race as our first event.  It is a potential path.  We would recommend at least one HPDE, but several series cater to first time race drivers and are set up to help you achieve this goal.  The cost of entry can be low for an autocross event or over $1,500 for an endurance event to enter.  There is also a higher level of car preparation and safety equipment involved.  The shortest races would be an autocross where the races are usually under 1 minute each.  Then there are sprint races where the race can be for a single stint searching for your one best lap (usually called Time Attack) or for some short wheel to wheel races the race can be 20-40 minutes or so.  Endurance races usually start at 4 hours and can be single 24+ hour events or multiple days of multi hour races.  Costs can vary from a less than $100 for an autocross race to over $1,000 and up for endurance races.  Budgets can also grow dramatically depending on the event and the cars being used.  9)  An alternative to racing your own prepped car in a race is to either rent a car or a seat in a car to try your hand at racing.  The costs again can vary depending on the car and the race, but with this option, you do not have to purchase and prepare the car.  This reduces the start up costs and effort required to get out on the track and that is the most importance thing to getting started.  You will still need a helmet and the required safety equipment, but he car and associated supplies, tools, etc. are usually covered.  Pricing can vary dramatically from a few hundred dollars minimum to several tens of thousands of dollars for high level events in semi-pro and professional events.  NOT recommended for your first time, lol 10)  At many events you will need to either bring a racing helmet or rent one on site.  Always make sure to contact the organizer for their specific requirements and if there are rentals available ahead of time. 11)  We did neglect to mention going on track with an “experience” type of event where you can drive on a real track in some very fancy car or race cars.  These are usually lead follow and you get to go up to the speed that you are comfortable with a pacing guide ahead of you.   A link to the episode is: https://tinyurl.com/SYWRC03 We hope you enjoy this episode!

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today's former participant is Bryan Fikes. His start to life was what most would consider an American “ideal” upbringing. Attending a private school and having healthy relationships with family and friends, as well as being a strong athlete, Bryan appreciated his early experiences. But by 6th grade, a major transition took place in his life. It wasn't long after that when Bryan found himself becoming a 180 version of who he was before. Addiction set in as he wound up on a dangerous road of uncertainty. Byan shares with listeners how he ended up in such a dark place, and the work he had to commit to in order to find sobriety and stability. He also leaves listeners with a hopeful message about how his transformed life has made it possible for him to support others on their own journeys, and offers advice specifically for parents. NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.**Listener discretion is advised** Bryan's Resources:Stonewater Adolescent Recovery CenterConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #YoungAdults #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #StudentMentalHealth #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #PainRelief #Addiction #AddictionRecovery #SobrietyJourney

It's Thursday, May 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistani Muslim man abducted, forcibly converted, and “married” Christian teen A Christian 15-year-old girl in Pakistan reunited with her parents yesterday after being abducted five months ago. A 29-year-old Muslim man, Muhammad Anees, kidnapped her with four other men from her aunt's home, forcibly converted her to Islam, and married her. The girl suffered abuse for months and is now pregnant.  Attorney Hanif Hameed told Morning Star News, “This is a clear case of false conversion and fake marriage to cover the crime of abduction and rape.” Sadly, such cases are increasing in the South Asian country. Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Billy Graham Association to host evangelism meeting in Germany The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is hosting the largest meeting on evangelism in 25 years in Berlin, Germany later this month. It's the same location that Rev. Billy Graham held the first World Congress on Evangelism in 1966. Evangelist Franklin Graham is focusing the upcoming event on the church in Europe. Listen to his comments to CBN News. GRAHAM: “We want to ignite a fire in Europe to where there's an excitement for evangelism and the churches are willing to be bold and not ashamed of the Gospel. “We've got Ukrainian churches coming. We have churches coming from Russia. You know, some say, ‘These countries are at war.'  Yes, they are, but the Gospel is more powerful than any of that stuff.” In Romans 1:16, the Apostle Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes.” Trump announces “Golden Dome” missile defense system U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for a $175 billion missile defense system on Tuesday. U.S. Space Force General Michael Guetlein is leading the project, known as the “Golden Dome.”  Trump said the system should be completed in about three years. Defunding Planned Parenthood remains in Trump's budget bill A handful of conservative Republicans, who hesitated to support Trump's “big, beautiful bill,” appear ready to support the massive package after a furious pressure campaign from President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson, reports The Hill. After meeting with Trump at the White House on Wednesday afternoon, and then huddling together afterward on Capitol Hill, the members of the conservative Freedom Caucus emerged to say they're on the cusp of supporting the package — if a laundry list of changes promised by the White House is reflected in the final proposal. Their newfound enthusiasm appears to stem from assurances Trump and Johnson made during the White House meeting, including a promise from the president to issue more executive orders addressing some of the spending concerns the conservatives couldn't secure in the legislation, and expanding the rollback of green energy tax credits enacted in the Democrats' 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.  The bill seeks to deliver on Trump's key campaign promises, including making permanent Trump's 2017 tax cuts and eliminating taxes on tips.  And, thanks in part to the calls of Worldview listeners, the defunding of Planned Parenthood remains in the bill. Court: Florida should require parental consent for a minor's abortion Last Friday, a federal appeals court ruled against a Florida law that allows minors to get abortions without parental consent. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that the law was unconstitutional and violated parental rights. The decision stated, “Whatever asserted constitutional abortion rights may have justified Florida's [law] in the past unequivocally have been repudiated by both the U.S. Supreme Court and the Florida Supreme Court.” Married, employed, church-attending people happier Harvard University recently published their Global Flourishing Study which surveyed 200,000 people across 22 countries over the past five years. The study found people experienced higher levels of wellbeing when married, employed, and attending religious services. Professor Tyler VanderWeele led the research. He noted, “Religious service attendance was one of the factors most consistently associated with present or subsequent wellbeing, across countries and across outcomes.” Anniversary of First Council of Nicaea And finally, this month marks the anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, 1,700 years ago. In May A.D. 325, about 300 Christian leaders convened in the city of Nicaea, located in modern-day Turkey.  The council dealt with the doctrine of the Trinity. In particular, the church at the time had to refute the heresy of Arianism, which denied that Jesus is fully and eternally divine.  The council went on to affirm the Trinity and Christ as fully God in the Nicene Creed. It is recited by churches worldwide to this day.  The creed affirms there is “one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made.” John 1:1 and 4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
