The devotional explores the concept of delegated spiritual authority granted to believers through Jesus Christ, drawing primarily from Acts 7 and Matthew 28. It emphasizes that Christians do not operate in their own strength but rely on the total power of God to resist demonic influence and oppression. The speaker illustrates this truth with a personal account of delivering a young man from severe spiritual bondage, highlighting the necessity of submitting to God before resisting the devil. Key theological themes include the victory of the cross, the protection provided by angels, and the practical application of Scripture such as James 4:7 and Ephesians 6. The message encourages believers to exercise their authority in Christ's name to bring freedom and peace to themselves and others.

In Matthew 22:15–22, Jesus' answer about paying taxes reveals a much deeper truth: we bear God's image and belong entirely to Him. Though our allegiance is often divided, Jesus perfectly surrendered Himself to the Father and accomplished what we could not. Because Christ rendered Himself for us, we can render our whole lives to God.Mission Church — www.missionlasvegas.com

Pastor Austin Gilliland   Mark 1:9-27

Jesus defines repentance.

In the Gospel according to Luke, we're shown how Jesus, the man filled with God's Spirit is the Way. In this fourth section of our series on this Gospel, we see him as the King who reorders our loves, heals our hearts, and sends us into the world as a countercultural people of resurrection hope.

“When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.” (Proverbs 29:2 NLT) I’ve had opportunities to interact with leaders at the highest levels of the United States government, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. When I met with those men individually, we had a great time talking about our nation, discussing the needs and challenges facing us. I should mention that when I’m around such people, I’m not there as a political pundit. Neither am I there to give any kind of political advice. I’m there as a pastor to help them, to pray for them, and to perhaps remind them of what Scripture says. In both instances we had wonderful discussions about the Word of God. Both men spoke of their dependence on God to do the job He had called them to do. Those interactions served as valuable reminders that revival in our nation, if and when it comes, will be aided immeasurably by believers in positions of authority. The Bible certainly makes a compelling case for godly leadership. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan” (NLT). Proverbs 10:9 says, “People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed” (NLT). James 1:5 says, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking” (NLT). And in Mark 10:43–44, Jesus says, “But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else” (NLT). Our nation is blessed to have an electoral process by which we can vote for our leaders. As believers, we must make the most of that opportunity by getting to know candidates and supporting those who stand for God-honoring principles. But there’s another responsibility believers must not shirk. We must pray for our leaders. Look at the apostle Paul’s words in 1 Timothy 2:1–2: “I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity” (NLT). We’ve talked a lot this month about what needs to take place for us to have a spiritual awakening, a revival in America. R. G. Lee put it this way: If all the sleeping folk will wake up,If all the lukewarm folk will fire up,If all the dishonest folk will confess up,If all the disgruntled folk will cheer up,If all the depressed folk will look up,If all the estranged folk will make up,If all the gossipers will shut up,If all true soldiers will stand up,If all the dry bones will shake up,If all the church members will pray up . . .Then we can have a revival! We might also add, “If all the believers will wise up in choosing leaders who yearn for revival.” Reflection question: How can you show wisdom and discernment in selecting and supporting our nation’s leaders?

Learning your Human Design isn't what creates abundance. Living it does. In Part 2 of the Wealth Code Essentials Series, Danielle breaks down why so many people stay stuck studying Human Design without ever seeing it translate into real income, confidence, or momentum. She explains why the five essential Wealth Codes are designed to simplify your focus, strengthen your self-trust, and help you make aligned decisions that naturally create prosperity. This episode is an invitation to stop using your chart as a reason to play small and start using it as the energetic operating system it was always meant to be. In this episode, you'll learn: Why clarity is the first Wealth Code that unlocks your next level of abundance How entrepreneurs unintentionally use Human Design to justify staying stuck Why learning more won't eliminate self-doubt, but embodiment will The difference between understanding your chart and actually living your design How the 30-Day Decision Making Protocol helps you build unshakable self-trust Why aligned entrepreneurship requires both feminine intuition and masculine structure How your Energy Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile, and Sun Gate work together to create sustainable momentum The hidden patterns that quietly block visibility, sales, and financial growth Why every new level of success requires another level of deconditioning How predictable patterns become your greatest advantage once you learn to recognize them Your Human Design chart isn't meant to become another thing you study. It's meant to become the lens through which you lead your business, make decisions, and create wealth. When you stop looking for more information and begin trusting the wisdom already inside you, your business becomes less about forcing results and more about allowing your natural gifts to do what they were designed to do. That's when your Human Design stops being interesting... ...and starts becoming profitable.   Links & Resources Join the How to Turn Your Human Design Chart into an ATM Live Workshop Download your Wealth Codes Chart  Get the Email Series That Pays  

Does the Bible teach male headship? Yes. I examine Genesis 3:16 where God told Eve "your desire will be to your husband, and he will rule over you." I argue that it refers to the woman's desire to exercise authority over her husband rather than submit to his authority. I also make the case that female submission to male headship was not introduced in Gen 3:16, but part of creation order in Genesis 2. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

Are you serving the purposes God has for you in your generation? Every generation has a judgment, and past generations will judge us. Jesus thinks in terms of generations and groups and the responsibility of each. Do we? We are meant to make a generational impact like William Tyndale, C.S. Lewis, Smith Wigglesworth, and the ones who have gone before us. But the crowd rarely gets it right. It takes those who are willing to stand and serve the purposes of God who have the power to turn a generation to the right path. 

Managing a family property trust becomes increasingly complex when multiple beneficiaries inherit valuable real estate.

In this insightful episode of Quietly Visible, host Carol Stewart is joined by Oge Okosieme, leadership advisor and executive coach, to explore what happens when our authority disappears in high-pressure moments—and, more importantly, how to stop it happening.Many introverted leaders don't struggle with knowing what to say. The real challenge often comes when they're questioned, challenged, or unexpectedly placed under the spotlight. Oge introduces the concept of an "authority leak"—those moments when our nervous system takes over, we lose our grounding, and we begin to over-explain, apologise, or pull back from our own expertise.Drawing on both her own experiences and years of working with senior leaders, Oge explains why these reactions aren't a confidence problem—they're a biological response to perceived threat. Together, she and Carol unpack practical ways to recognise your triggers, interrupt unhelpful patterns, and remain calm, clear, and credible when it matters most. In this episode, you'll hear about:- What an "authority leak" is and why it happens- How your nervous system responds before you're even aware of it- Why over-explaining, apologising, and second-guessing yourself are common leadership responses- Recognising your personal triggers and body cues- How to stay grounded when your ideas or expertise are challenged- Practical techniques to interrupt automatic reactions and strengthen your executive presence- Why authentic authority comes from staying connected to yourself under pressureIf you've ever left a meeting wishing you'd handled it differently, or found yourself shrinking just when you needed to stand tall, this episode offers practical insights that will help you stay present, composed, and confidently in your authority.Connect with Oge OkosiemeWebsite: https://iamoge.comLeadership Diagnostic: https://iamoge.com/diagnosticLinkedIn: Oge Okosieme https://www.linkedin.com/in/oge-okosieme/Carol Stewart & Free Confidence, Influence & Impact Assessment:https://aboundingsolutions.com/taketheimpactassessment/

Did Christians really try to amend the U.S. Constitution to formally recognize Jesus Christ? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird uncover the forgotten story of the National Reform Association and its 19th-century effort to acknowledge God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible within the Constitution. They explore how leading Presbyterians, Old Princeton theologians, and the Presbyterian General Assembly of 1864 understood civil government, religious liberty, and Christ's authority over the nations. Whether you agree or disagree with their conclusions, this remarkable chapter of American history raises important questions about Christianity's role in public life and what has been lost in our national memory.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Authority building has become one of the most valuable competitive advantages available to business owners, consultants, speakers, franchise leaders, and subject matter experts. In an era where artificial intelligence can generate endless content and consumers are overwhelmed with information, credibility remains a powerful differentiator. One of the most effective ways to establish that credibility is through a business book. While many professionals still view publishing as a vanity project, the most successful authors approach books differently. They see a book as intellectual property, a business asset, and a tool that can create opportunities long after publication. Rather than focusing solely on book sales, they focus on how a book supports larger business objectives such as attracting clients, securing speaking engagements, building trust, and expanding influence. The distinction is important. A business card provides contact information. A well-written book demonstrates expertise. When a prospect, client, event organizer, investor, or strategic partner receives a book, they immediately gain insight into the author's thinking, experience, and perspective. Even before reading every page, the existence of the book often creates a perception of authority that can open doors to conversations and opportunities that might not otherwise occur. This is one reason authority building through business books continues to thrive despite dramatic changes in technology and media. Digital platforms have made it easier than ever to publish content. Social media allows anyone to share opinions. Podcasts provide a platform for countless voices. AI tools can generate articles, summaries, and marketing materials in seconds. Yet books continue to carry unique weight. Writing a book requires commitment, structure, expertise, and a willingness to organize knowledge into a format that delivers value to readers. The process itself signals a level of dedication that shorter forms of content often cannot match. For many business leaders, a book becomes the foundation for an entire authority-building strategy. The ideas within the book can be repurposed into keynote presentations, workshops, articles, podcast appearances, training programs, consulting frameworks, videos, and educational resources. Rather than creating content from scratch every week, professionals can build from a central body of intellectual property that reinforces a consistent message across multiple channels. This approach creates leverage. Instead of constantly chasing attention, authors position themselves as experts whose ideas can be shared repeatedly through multiple formats. The book becomes a centerpiece that supports broader business development efforts. Another common misconception is that publishing success is measured solely by the number of books sold. While sales matter, many authors generate far greater value from the opportunities created by the book than from royalty income. Speaking engagements, consulting contracts, coaching relationships, strategic partnerships, and media exposure often provide a significantly larger return on investment than book sales alone. This shift in perspective changes how a book is developed. Rather than asking, "How many copies can I sell?" successful authors often ask, "What business outcome do I want this book to support?" The answer may vary depending on the author's goals. A consultant may use a book to attract ideal clients. A speaker may use a book to establish credibility with meeting planners. An entrepreneur may use a book to increase visibility within a specific industry. A founder may use a book to strengthen personal brand recognition and position the company as an industry leader. Regardless of the objective, clarity about the intended audience remains critical. The strongest business books are not written for everyone. They are written for a specific reader facing a specific challenge. Authors who clearly understand their audience can create content that resonates, provides practical value, and builds trust more effectively than those who attempt to appeal to a broad market. This audience-first approach also influences how a book is marketed. Many professionals spend months writing a manuscript only to realize later that they have not clearly defined who the book serves or what outcome it delivers. By identifying the target audience and desired result early in the process, authors can create stronger positioning, more compelling messaging, and a more effective authority-building strategy. The rise of self-publishing has further expanded opportunities for experts to share their knowledge. In the past, authors often depended on traditional publishing houses to determine which ideas reached the marketplace. Today, professionals have more options than ever before. High-quality self-publishing allows experts to maintain control of their intellectual property while bringing valuable ideas directly to readers. However, increased accessibility has also created new challenges. As barriers to publication have decreased, the number of books entering the marketplace has increased dramatically. This makes quality more important than ever. Readers have countless options competing for their attention. Poorly written, poorly edited, or poorly positioned books can damage credibility rather than enhance it. Successful authority building requires thoughtful planning, professional execution, and a commitment to delivering meaningful value. This challenge has become even more pronounced with the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence. AI tools can assist authors with brainstorming, research, outlining, editing, and content development. Used appropriately, these technologies can improve efficiency and help professionals organize their ideas more effectively. But authority building still depends on authenticity. Readers connect with personal experiences, unique perspectives, original insights, and real-world expertise. A book that relies entirely on AI-generated content may communicate information, but it often lacks the human perspective that creates trust and connection. The most successful authors understand that technology should support expertise, not replace it. AI can help accelerate the process. It cannot replace the experiences, lessons, stories, and insights that make an author's perspective valuable. This human element is what transforms a book from a collection of information into a powerful authority-building tool. Another often-overlooked aspect of authority building is what happens after publication. Many authors focus intensely on writing the book and relatively little on leveraging it. Yet publication is often the beginning rather than the end of the journey. Strategic promotion, podcast appearances, speaking opportunities, media outreach, email marketing, and content repurposing all help maximize the impact of a book. Authors who actively share their ideas and engage with audiences typically generate significantly greater results than those who simply publish and wait for readers to discover them. In many ways, a book serves as a platform rather than a destination. It provides a vehicle for sharing expertise, demonstrating credibility, and creating opportunities that extend well beyond the pages themselves. Authority building has always been important in business. What has changed is the number of channels available for communicating expertise and the speed at which information travels. Despite those changes, one principle remains consistent. People want to learn from individuals they trust. A well-crafted business book remains one of the most effective ways to establish that trust, communicate expertise, and create lasting influence. For professionals looking to expand their visibility, strengthen their reputation, and create new opportunities, authority building through business books continues to be one of the smartest investments they can make.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  Building high-performance teams, especially in dynamic industries, can be one of the biggest challenges a leader faces.  Sometimes passionate founders or senior leaders can go from passionate advocate to authoritarian autocrat.  Left unchecked, this can lead to organizations underperforming in the long term and missed opportunities.  So where is the balance?   In this episode, Kim speaks with Liz Wiseman, the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers.  Liz and Kim explore the pitfalls of authoritarian leadership, the power of multipliers, and how leaders can foster environments where everyone does the best work of their lives and builds the best relationships of their careers. Liz does point out that there are certain, limited instances where a top down, “command and control” approach is the right choice (for example, during an acute crisis), but these instances should be rare and targeted.  They also discuss practical strategies for managing diminishing leaders and creating impact regardless of leadership style. They also talk about the importance of understanding power dynamics in leadership.   Guest Background: Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to top organizations worldwide. She wrote the New York Times bestsellers Multipliers, The Multiplier Effect, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Rookie Smarts and Impact Players.

Navigating the new rules of search in SEO, building credibility and authority as a food blogger, and prioritizing clarity in your writing with Casey Markee from Media Wyse. ----- Welcome to episode 579 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Casey Markee from Media Wyse. How Search Is Changing and What Food Bloggers Need to Do About It If you've been feeling like search and traffic have gotten harder to figure out lately — you're not imagining it. The rules are genuinely changing, and they're changing fast. In this episode, Casey breaks down the biggest shift happening in search right now — the move away from the traditional "10 blue links" model toward a semantic, AI-powered model where Google constructs answers from multiple sources and tries to keep users on Google rather than sending them elsewhere. For food bloggers, this means that publishing a well-optimized recipe is no longer enough, and Casey explains exactly what it takes to thrive in the search landscape that's replacing it. Bjork and Casey cover the technical fundamentals that still matter (core web vitals, internal linking, structured data), the growing importance of building a content ecosystem and genuine topical authority, and — perhaps most importantly — how to make yourself and your brand visible beyond your website. Casey also walks through what knowledge panels are, how PR mentions and media appearances feed into Google's knowledge graph, and how a new feature called the "preferred source" button could be a real competitive advantage for food bloggers who move quickly. Three episode takeaways: Search is shifting from lexical to semantic — and that changes everything — Google is no longer just matching keywords. It's building answers from multiple sources and increasingly keeping users on its own platform. Casey explains what this "semantic model" of search means in practice for food bloggers and why traffic patterns are changing. Authority and ecosystem matter more than ever — The technical best practices haven't disappeared, but Casey makes the case that food bloggers now also need to build credibility off their site: through local media features, PR mentions, cookbooks, and other signals that feed into Google's knowledge graph and help establish a knowledge panel for you or your brand. Clarity and formatting are your new competitive edge — As LLMs and AI-powered search tools become a bigger part of how people find content, the way you structure your posts matters more than ever. Casey shares practical advice on formatting blog posts so they're easy for both humans and AI to navigate.
