When You Befriend Your BFF's Frenemy by Maine's Coast 93.1

In today's episode, hosts Joe Yerke and Reese, joined by waffle-slinging guest Pete Hutchinson, revive their "Coupon Kings" shtick, hyping absurd deals like a pitchfork from a satanic ritual to save big bucks. They dive into Chimo, a sketchy Venezuelan tobacco paste that sounds like a health hazard disguised as Jell-O. The trio gripes about younger coworkers ditching work for Tigers games, leaving Joe stuck with 16-hour roofing shifts. Pete's “Bed, Wed, Behead, Befriend” game spirals into Joe plotting to behead him for a robot-body immortality plan, because why not? We hope you hate it.Patreon: www.patreon.com/pickleandbootshop Merch: www.bonfire.com/store/the-pickle-and-boot-shop--shop/ Email: thepickleandbootshop@gmail.com Instagram: joeandreesepabs Diabolical Discussion by Daniel Rock: facebook.com/groups/diabolicaldiscussion Good Eats: beefaro

Friday Night Live 2 May 2025In this episode, I examine internalized parenting and its impact on adult behaviors, starting with a discussion on societal reactions to racial triggers through the lens of a recent incident involving Shiloh Hendricks. I share personal experiences that highlight how parental interactions shape our self-regulation and trigger responses, often leading to self-censorship. The conversation explores the effects of these dynamics on relationships and emphasizes the importance of recognizing our internalized parents as protective forces. I reflect on my journey as a father, balancing guidance with independence, and stress that understanding our internal narratives is crucial for personal growth and authenticity.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

"Let us know what you think about this episode"Postpartum bleeding, or lochia, is your body's natural healing process as your uterus returns to its pre-pregnancy size. We explore the science behind this important recovery phase and what every new mother should know about supporting her body during this time.• Uterus shrinks from watermelon to pear size in about six weeks after delivery• Lochia progresses through three distinct phases: rubra (days 1-4), serosa (days 5-10), and alba (final phase)• Bleeding occurs as the wound where the placenta attached heals• Breastfeeding releases oxytocin that stimulates uterine contractions and speeds healing• Cesarean deliveries may experience lighter bleeding as some uterine lining is removed during surgery• Warning signs include bright red bleeding that returns after lightening, large clots, foul smell, or soaking pads hourly• Postpartum hemorrhage affects 1-5% of births in Canada and requires immediate medical attention• Rest, hydration, nutrition, and self-compassion are essential for supporting recoveryTake time to heal and remember that every body is different. If you have concerns about your postpartum bleeding, always reach out to your healthcare provider.

Text: Prov 22:24-25 ESV24 Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man,25 lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.-Prov 22:24-25 ESVBEFRIEND NOT AN ANGRY MANAn angry man is someone who cannot control their temper. The Bible clearly warns against such unrighteous anger. It should be noted that not all anger is immoral. Paul stated, "Be angry and do not sin" (Eph 4:26). But, Paul commands also, "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice" (Eph 4:31). There is a risk in befriending him. Neither have friendship nor business dealings with such person. There is a boundary to observe. As Paul exhorts, “I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.” (1 Cor 5:9–10). Rather, it means we should seek not to be influenced by such persons. Associating closely with a wrathful person also contradicts the stern warning by Paul, that is, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"[ 2 Cor 6:14]What are the risks in befriending them? Hot headed person can lead to fights and drag others into them. ‘A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.' (Prov 29:22). Those who lose control of their tempers often accumulate enemies. ‘A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.' (Prov 14:17). Further, having an intimate friendship with such a person means accepting a bad influence. In subtle ways, they can corrupt others into acting the same way. ‘Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.' (Prov 13:20). The counsel is “Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” (1 Cor 15:33).Avoiding them is avoiding a snare. A "snare" is a kind of trap used to capture animals. The allusion to becoming entangled in a snare by adopting a hothead's anger and behavior presents an urgent warning to anyone who might consider befriending a "hothead:" a person lacking control of their rage.This warning is quite relevant to teenagers, who are more prone to enter into risky relationships. As Solomon exhorts them in Proverbs 1:10–15, that is, "My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. If they say, 'Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood …' my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths." Choosing the right friends is a mark of maturity.-------------------------Visit and FOLLOW Gospel Light Filipino on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram

What if the key to better health, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling life is actually doing hard things? In this enlightening and often humorous conversation, Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with Jeff Krasno, founder of Commune and Wanderlust, who transformed his health and life by embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it. Five years ago, Jeff was 65-70 pounds heavier and facing a diabetes diagnosis when he discovered the power of "good stress" - the kind that makes you stronger, more resilient, and more connected to others.Jeff shares his remarkable journey from being a "chubby kid" constantly relocating (11-12 times before age seven) to becoming what Scott calls "the fascia of community" - a super connector who brings people together. His childhood struggles to fit in across different countries and languages eventually became his superpower, leading him to create spaces where others could belong. Through his personal health transformation and spiritual awakening, Jeff discovered that chronic dis-ease is often the result of chronic ease - and that leaning into discomfort might be exactly what we need.From cold plunges and fasting to facilitating difficult conversations between Israeli and Palestinian students, Jeff reveals how embracing "good stress" can transform not just our physical health but our relationships and spiritual lives. As he beautifully puts it: "The true wonderful ease that we're looking for requires a degree of inconvenience."Topics We Break Down:How chronic ease leads to chronic diseaseThe concept of "good stress" and hormetic stressors (cold, heat, fasting)Jeff's protocol that helped him lose 65 pounds and reverse diabetesBuilding a "psychological immune system" through difficult conversationsThe spiritual dimensions of practices like fasting and cold exposureFinding the space between stimulus and response as the key to personal freedomWhy true ease comes from meaningful connection, not comfort

"Let us know what you think about this episode"Let's talk about the one childbirth fear that keeps many expectant mothers up at night – pooping during labor. As a doula, massage therapist, and mother of two, I've witnessed firsthand how this perfectly natural bodily function creates unnecessary anxiety for birthing people everywhere.The science is straightforward: when you're pushing your baby out, you're using the exact same muscle groups involved in bowel movements. Your baby's head applies pressure to your rectum as it descends, potentially causing any remaining stool to be expelled. Far from being embarrassing, this is actually evidence that you're pushing effectively! The statistics? It happens to roughly one in three women, but here's the surprising part – most never even know it occurred because birth teams handle it with such practiced discretion.What strikes me most from supporting countless births is how quickly these worries evaporate in the delivery room. The moment active labor begins, concerns about bodily functions fade against the backdrop of the extraordinary work your body is performing. And once that baby is placed in your arms? Trust me, you won't remember or care about anything else that happened in that room.Birth is inherently messy, unpredictable, and beautiful. Your healthcare providers have truly seen it all – amniotic fluid, blood, vernix, and yes, sometimes poop. None of it phases them. They're focused on safely bringing your baby earthside, not judging natural bodily functions. So take a deep breath and release this particular worry. Your body knows exactly what it's doing, even when it's doing things society has taught us to find embarrassing.Share this episode with an expectant friend who might need to hear this message. Remember, the path to motherhood asks us to surrender certain social constructs around control and modesty – and in that surrender, we discover our remarkable strength.

"Let us know what you think about this episode"We dive deep into the evidence behind aspirin use during pregnancy, examining why fertility clinics recommend it and how to weigh the risks and benefits of this common intervention. The podcast explores low-dose aspirin's role in improving blood flow to the placenta, potentially preventing complications for mothers with specific risk factors.• Low-dose aspirin (81mg) works by preventing tiny blood clots and reducing inflammation• Studies show aspirin may reduce preeclampsia risk by 24% in high-risk pregnancies when started before 16 weeks• Particularly beneficial for women with recurrent pregnancy loss, preeclampsia risk, or undergoing fertility treatments• Potential risks include increased bleeding during delivery, rare placenta abruption, and stomach irritation• Decision to use aspirin must be individualized and made with healthcare provider guidance• Important to question routine interventions and understand the specific reasoning behind recommendationsRemember, the best decisions are made with knowledge, care, and your unique circumstances in mind.

Today we have Jenny. She is 38 years old from Hudson, WI and she took her last drink on February 16, 2020.   Sponsors for this episode include: Better Help – 10% off of your first month   Recovery Elevator has a nonprofit called Café RE which is our alcohol-free community. For all of our happenings and what we offer, click on Recovery Elevator Events.   [02:35] Thoughts from Paul:   It doesn't really matter what word or label we attach to our relationship with alcohol. It doesn't matter what we call it; we still need to do something about it. Paul says that his own pursuits of solving the “why” behind his drinking and how his addiction took hold has been a revealing journey of self-discovery even he won't be able to pin down exactly why he crashed and burned so hard.   When we relentlessly scour the past for reasons why we drink, we take our energies away from the only moment where true healing and peace reside, which is this very moment right now.   Addiction does everything it can to pull us from the present moment. Ruminating on what happened, what you have tends to be fruitless. Befriend and make peace the part of you that seeks oblivion and self-destruction. An addiction path may be what our souls choose in hopes of teaching us what really matters in life.   [09:03] Paul introduces Jenny:   Jenny is a previous guest and was featured in Episode 417 back in 2023 after celebrating three years alcohol-free.   Jenny is married and they have a seven-year-old son. She enjoys exercise, adventure and being outside. She does professional development for the construction industry.   Jenny drinking when she was 11 years old with the goal of being a rebel. She says she had a goal of being a tough, naughty girl and says it let her down the road to 22 years of binging and going on benders with alcohol and drugs.   In her late twenties, Jenny had a miscarriage and says that it was at that point that she knew she had a problem, and she didn't think she'd be able to stop. She and her husband had their son in 2017 and decided a life change was needed so they moved back home after living out west for a while. She was 31 years old, unemployed, had a newborn son and was deeply in debt. The move to her in-law's basement and being back in her hometown opening old wounds drove Jenny to use alcohol more and more to escape.   Rock bottom came for Jenny after Super Bowl Sunday 202. She got very sick while driving and called out of work. For the next few days, she was hungover and thinking about ways to end things. A spiritual awakening and vision of an uncle that had passed away before she was born, led Jenny to get up and decide enough was enough.   Jenny says the first week was hard like ripping a bandage off and bleed profusely. All aspects of her life needed to be explored. She wanted to live a life of integrity and knew she needed to do the right things for herself. She feels like every day is a victory for all of us on the journey.   After a year without alcohol, her husband encouraged her to find connection and she tried AA. That group helped her define her higher power and she loves AA and the 12 steps. She finds that friendships in recovery are so much deeper.   In the last few years since she was on the podcast, Jenny says not much has changed but life is more stable now. When she quit drinking, she was able to address other issues that she wasn't aware she had. She is capable of just being and seeking peace in her life.   Jenny knows that relapse is a non-negotiable for her. She says she hasn't come this far to only come this far. Being able to tell the whole story about things that happen is important to her.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down. You got to take the stairs back up.

Send us a textOur emotional wounds dictate our lives whether we are aware of it or not. It is the emotional wounds that are holding all the pain and fear-based beliefs. We think that by running away from our feelings via compulsions, Rumination, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and distraction we will get relief however we increase these fear based feelings. This is a natural survival response but we can start shining a light on these feelings from a new perspective which is life-changing.These feelings are not scary monsters, they are in fact very scared vulnerable aspects of ourselves which is crying out for our attention, love and compassion.I invite you to start befriending your emotions and listen daily to self soothe and when triggered.Whether you deal with OCD, Generalised Anxiety, Daily Stress, this is a practise for you!Enjoy,LindaSupport the show

Happy Satiated Saturday! Body shame is body communication. If body shame could speak, it might say, “It doesn't feel safe to be as you are. I'm trying to protect you from the pain you've already endured.”Body shame often acts as a shield, guarding against judgment and rejection. No one could be as cruel to you as you are to yourself. This can feel like a defense, ensuring that no one else's words can hurt you more than your own.Body shame can create a thick impenetrable wall around you that no one can get in but neither can you. It can lead to feeling disconnected from yourself where your body becomes a tool rather than a living being that allows you to experience sights, sounds, smells, textures, and tastes. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Marla Mervis-Hartmann, coach, speaker, and author about: The journey toward self love takesNavigating diet cultureEntering this new year with an intention toward self compassion and self care rather than weight lossThe role of pleasure and emotional expression in healingYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/befriend-your-body-and-rediscover-pleasureAlways here for you.With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Marla: Befriend Yourself Book: https://amzn.to/42jDGrOWebsite: www.LoveYourBodyLoveYourself.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loveyourbodyloveyourselfalways Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/loveyourbodyloveyourself Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportMy favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. ...

Have you ever felt invisible? Maybe you walked into a room, and no one noticed you because you didn't fit the mold. Imagine walking into a church to seek hope only to find rejection. How you treat others could be the difference between them being drawn to Jesus or driven away from him. And this is what James is concerned about in today's text in James 2:1-4. Welcome to the Daily Devo. If you are new here, it is not too late to get your James Scripture Journal. If you missed a few devotionals you can go back and listen and catch up on our study through James. There are hundreds of us studying the book of James right now, and you can join the community. Let's read the text for today: My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? — James 2:1-4 James does not pull punches here. He directly tackles a widespread issue in the church: favoritism. I think we can all imagine this situation: two people walk into the same church. One is decked out in designer threads, radiating success. The other looks like they just crawled out of bed from a hard week. What do you think? What's your judgment? Will you disregard the disheveled and favor the decked-out? Will you ignore the one to seek the benefit and approval of the other? If you do, even within your mind, James defines this as “judging with evil thoughts.” We all have been the target of favoritism and the instigator of it. However, favoritism in the church is a deadly disease to the gospel and the glory of God. When we come to a gathering of believers in "judgment mode," judging the people around us we objectify the wrong thing—ourselves. God's church was not designed to be a place to build our network or net worth. It is a place where together we focus our hearts and minds on God, glorifying and worshiping him, not ourselves. This is one of the things I appreciate about the church and the gospel. We are all sinners through and through, redeemed only by his grace, not by factors determined by the government, education, pop culture, net worth, or genetics. Why would we rely on such factors, unless we've become judges with evil thoughts? Favoritism reveals our faithlessness. Check your heart this week. Notice how you judge those within your Christian community. Who do you gravitate toward? Who do you ignore? Then ask yourself the hard and reflective question: why do I ignore one and gravitate to the other? Then, make it a point to intentionally greet or sit with someone you'd normally overlook at church. When you do this, you are glorifying God and sharing the gospel of God's great grace. The same grace he extended to you. If our favoritism reveals our faithlessness, then the gospel reveals God's boundless grace and perfect judgment. None of us can stand before him based on what we wear, what we've done, or who we know. We're all sinners in desperate need of a Savior, and the good news is this: Jesus judges perfectly and welcomes us just as we are even though he demands a change. While we often judge by appearances or selfish motives, Jesus looks beyond the surface. He sees your heart and offers grace—not because of what you bring, but because of what he has done. He lived the perfect life we couldn't, died the death we deserved, and rose again to offer us forgiveness and eternal life. So today, if you feel overlooked, unworthy, or even guilty of favoritism, know that Jesus offers a better way. His perfect judgment leads to perfect grace. You don't have to earn his favor. You can accept his gift of forgiveness and trust him to transform your life. Confess your sin, believe that he is Lord, and trust in his sacrifice for your salvation. He will judge you not by your failures, but by the righteousness he gives freely to all who believe. “Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. Thank You for dying for me and offering me forgiveness. I trust You as my Savior and submit to Your perfect judgment. Change me, and help me live for Your glory. Amen.” If you prayed this prayer write the words, "I choose Jesus" below. We want to celebrate with you and help you take the next step in your faith journey! #NoFavoritism, #GodsGrace, #FaithInAction Ask This: Who have you overlooked or judged based on appearances this week? How does favoritism reflect a lack of faith in God? What steps can you take to value others as God does? How has Jesus' perfect judgment changed the way you see yourself and others? Do This: Don't be faithless and play favorites. Befriend a brother or sister in Christ. Pray This: Lord, help me to see others as You see them, with love and grace, free of favoritism or judgment. Transform my heart to reflect Your perfect mercy and draw others to You through my actions. Amen. Play This: Great Is.

In the first episode of 2025, Mikah and Abrar discuss Meta's plans to add AI bots to their social media platforms, the rise of AI-generated phishing scams, the trend of parents giving their kids retro tech devices to reduce screen time, and the current state and future potential of passkeys for secure logins. Meta plans to populate Facebook and Instagram with AI-generated bot accounts that can create content, share posts, and interact with users, in an effort to drive engagement as user growth stagnates. Abrar and Mikah debate the pros and cons of AI bots on social media. Cybersecurity experts have seen a significant increase in sophisticated phishing scams using AI to generate hyper-personalized messages mimicking people's communication styles, with over 90% of successful cyberattacks now beginning with phishing emails. Abrar and Mikah discuss cybersecurity training and email filtering used by companies to combat this. There's a growing trend of parents gifting their kids retro tech like Walkmans, portable CD players, and MP3 players in an effort to reduce screen time. Mikah and Abrar reflect on the appeal of single-purpose devices and bonding over music. Passkeys, a new login technology aiming to replace passwords, have seen increasing adoption but face usability challenges and inconsistent implementation across sites and devices. Mikah explains how passkeys work and recommends using password managers for now, as both hosts agree passkeys aren't quite ready for mainstream adoption yet.

“Where there is love, miracles occur naturally. Miracles are your inheritance in any given moment. A miracle is available to you when your heart is open. A Course in Miracles says you have a grievance or you can have a miracle – you cannot have both.” ~ Marianne Williamson  Welcome to Exploring the Seasons of Life: Travel Edition! I'm Cindy MacMillan, your host and the founder of Pangea World Travel Agency. This December, I'm beyond excited to take you on a little trip down memory lane! We're unlocking the vault to bring you some of our earliest episodes—stories that dive into beginnings, endings, and all those beautiful, messy, life-changing moments in between. Every Friday, we'll revisit these gems, reflecting on the journeys that teach us, transform us, and connect us to something bigger. So, grab your coffee (or your favorite travel mug), settle into your coziest chair, and let's embark on this adventure together.  5 Tangible Steps Someone Can Take to Finally Befriend Their Grief with Helen Fernald was originally released on May 3, 2023  Guest Introduction:  Welcome to another episode of Exploring the Seasons of Life, a podcast for women with a big heart on a spiritual journey. I'm your host Cindy MacMillan and I'm joined today by Helen Fernald. Each week I interview spiritual explorers, amazing coaches, and authors from all walks of life about beginnings, endings and the messy bits in between because I believe every season is a beautiful opportunity for transformation. In this episode of the podcast, we are chatting with Helen Fernald about 5 tangible steps someone can take to finally befriend their grief and her book LOVE, HELEN--Letters to My Mother: Creating a Loving Connection After Loss. I am delighted to introduce my guest. Helen Fernald is a grief recovery expert and author of the forthcoming book LOVE, HELEN--Letters to My Mother: Creating a Loving Connection After Loss. She specializes in teaching therapeutic letter writing. All right, Helen, thank you very much for being with us. Here's a glimpse of our conversation: 3:21  But then when I really started to think about was how my book is actually about exploring the seasons of life. And I think unlike a linear timeline, my book is about exploring the seasons of the heart. So, it's how all those emotions, the joy, the sadness, everything gets all mixed together. And I think that's the beauty of life. And that's the beauty of the seasons of life. 7:13 I've reflected on this question a lot over my life, because I've had so many sudden losses in my life of the people that I really loved and I come from a family where we didn't deal with grief, we didn't deal with emotions. And I don't think I'm the only family from the only family that did that. 7:55 The first thing that I would recommend to people is that you just acknowledge your grief. I think that's the first step, acknowledging it. And then also giving yourself permission to feel it to actually grieve. I know that that can be so hard because I realized, after a number of years of not dealing with the grief around my mother, there was a part of me that was so afraid, I would never be able to stop crying that I didn't want to start cry. 8:37  The second step is absolutely to find someone to talk with. I personally would suggest a therapist, someone who really specializes in this, it could be a therapist, a doctor, a coach, there are grief groups I know. And even in our small town, we have a grief group. It could be a pastor, I first turned to my pastor, and then he connected with me with a therapist, and it was just so extraordinarily helpful. 9:24 Step number three is to find some sort of practice, some sort of practice where we can just learn to take a breath and be still. I think that we can't really turn into our grief until we can slow down enough to acknowledge it and to be able to talk about it. 14:38 The first thing I think for writing letters, is that it needs to be something that you want to do. It shouldn't be something that you feel oh my god, I have to sit down and write a letter, I have to do all this other stuff and I've got to have a letter, it should be something that you want to do. 16:57 This was the first letter that I wrote to my mother, my mother just to give you a little timeframe my mother died in July of 1992. And I did not start writing letters until 2008. So, this was my first letter and I entitled it Letters Through the Veil because I feel like for me from a spiritual sense our loved ones are always around us, but we just simply can't see them. 23:12 I also just wanted to mention that I never knew when, when this book would end, I had no idea I just kept writing and writing and the letters all sort of ended the same way. They all ended in with perhaps the exception of this one. They all were about Mom, please stay by my side, I still need you. 31:27 I think that it's when we actually stop and explore the seasons of our life. I think that there are miraculous things that can happen. Amazing things. And, and it's okay to be vulnerable. It's okay to be honest. We are who we are. And we are all gifts to the world. We are all lights to the world. And I think that those are, I know that's a little more than what you asked. But that's what that's that would be for me the biggest takeaway.

Thank you Helen for joining us and as always, thanks for listening to Exploring the Seasons of Life podcast.

Change, although not effortless, is easier than you may realize, even for the most deeply ingrained patterns and habits. It starts with self-awareness and, in the case of Internal Family Systems (IFS), noticing and naming the many parts of yourself. But then what?   Listen to learn how to see your many parts as allies, not enemies, and the questions you should ask your parts when they pop up in your life. The key is to let your curiosity take over so you can better understand these parts—and befriend them for your benefit.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/146

Question: First Corinthians 5:11 says, “But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.” Since Catholics are idolaters, where should a line be drawn in our social, familial, and work relationships with them? I frankly believe (and I used to be a strong Catholic) that we have become far too “chummy” with Catholics. Or am I just going overboard in my new zeal?Response: The many Roman Catholics who become Christians find it necessary for conscience' sake to leave that church very shortly thereafter, as you apparently did. Catholics thus encountered as neighbors or at work are in the same category as Mormons, Buddhists, or atheists as far as your relationship with them goes. No more with a Catholic than with an atheist should you join in a business partnership or marry or otherwise enter into any relationship that could be categorized as being “unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” Such alliances are forbidden (2 Corinthians 6:1-18)...
