Jesus said in John 13:34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another... By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”One of the clearest signs of true discipleship is love for fellow believers. Jesus used the Greek word agape, describing a self-sacrificial, unconditional love that seeks the good of others regardless of personal cost. This kind of love is demonstrated through actions, not merely words.Sadly, a lack of love has often damaged the witness of the Church. The world notices not only what Christians believe but how they treat one another. Therefore, loving one another is not optional—it is a command from Jesus and a defining mark of genuine discipleship.1. Loving One Another Means Obeying the Command of JesusJesus repeatedly commanded His followers to love one another (John 13:34; John 15:12,17). As Christians, we are under Christ's authority and called to live according to His will. A true disciple cannot live with bitterness, unforgiveness, criticism, or hatred toward fellow believers. Regardless of age, background, culture, or status, we are called to love one another as members of God's family.2. Loving One Another Means Following the Example of JesusJesus is our model of love. The disciples experienced His patience, correction, forgiveness, encouragement, and unwavering commitment. Because they experienced Christ's love, they learned how to love others. He transformed them from a group of self-focused individuals into a united team that would change the world.Healed people heal people. We can only truly love others when we first receive and understand the love of Jesus ourselves. Becoming FriendsJesus said in John 15:15, “I have called you friends.” Christianity was never meant to be lived in isolation. Healthy churches are communities where believers support, encourage, laugh, pray, and walk through life together.Being Open and TransparentAuthentic relationships require honesty and openness. Hidden sin, resentment, jealousy, and judgment hinder fellowship. As 1 John 1:7 teaches, when we walk in the light, we experience true fellowship with one another.Humbly Serving One AnotherJesus demonstrated humility by washing His disciples' feet. Pride creates division, while humility builds unity. Ephesians 4:2-3 encourages believers to be humble, gentle, patient, and committed to maintaining peace.Biblical love always involves sacrifice.It may cost us financially as we help those in need (Acts 4:32; 1 John 3:17-18). It may cost us time as we invest in relationships and fellowship (Acts 2:46-47). Ultimately, Jesus showed the highest form of love by laying down His life for His friends (John 15:13), and we are called to follow His example.3. Loving One Another Means Showing the Love of Jesus to the WorldJesus said, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples.” The world is watching to see whether our lives match our message. The most powerful witness of the Church is not simply our preaching, but the love we demonstrate toward one another. When believers walk in forgiveness, humility, unity, and sacrificial love, the world sees Christ.ApplicationReceive the love of Jesus afresh. Allow Him to soften hard hearts, heal old wounds, and remove bitterness and resentment. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any relationship that needs healing. Be willing to forgive, seek forgiveness, humble yourself, and pursue reconciliation.Love means letting go of grudges, believing the best about others, serving one another, and growing closer together as the family of God. As we love one another, we become a living testimony of Jesus to the world.

How to Know You Found the One: Why You Just KnowHow to know you found the one is the question everyone asks before getting married, and John and Echo break down what that feeling actually means. They tackle why clichés like "when you know, you know" and "it happens when you least expect it" are annoyingly true, and how full acceptance, comfort, and contrast help you recognize your person.From meeting on a dating app 2,000 miles apart with zero expectations to moving in together fast, John and Echo share their messy, real love story. They dig into why you need options to make a real choice, why finding the one is only 10% (the other 90% is building the relationship), how to tell toxicity from chemistry, and why your subconscious "tells" reveal what you actually feel about someone.In This EpisodeThe clichés are true — "when you know, you know" is frustrating but real, and you'll feel it differently than anything beforeYou need options and contrast to make a real choice; one-itis means you never actually choseHave zero expectations on dates — pressure makes you twist someone into being "the one" when they're notFinding the one is only 10% — the other 90% is the relationship you build, and you can absolutely screw up the right personWatch your subconscious tells — if small habits (like contacts left everywhere) actively turn you off, that's misalignment, not nitpickingDon't confuse toxicity for chemistry — anxious-avoidant patterns can feel like a pull, but that's the dysfunction drawing you inYou can't find the one if you're not living up to what you're looking for — work on yourself firstHonesty, full acceptance, and feeling like "one unit" through life's chaos are how you knowTimestamps0:00 — The Subconscious Tells That Reveal the Truth2:46 — Comfort, Familiarity, and the Signs You See in Hindsight5:00 — John's Perspective: Choosing Against All Odds8:36 — Dating With No Expectations12:13 — Full Acceptance and Moving in Together14:30 — Why You Need Options to Make a Real Choice17:55 — If You're Married, Make Them the One22:58 — You Can't Find the One Until You Work on Yourself27:44 — Being Open, Honest, and Becoming One Unit33:38 — Detecting When It's Not the One: Toxicity and Attraction38:37 — Synchronicities and Guideposts on the Right Path41:39 — You Can't Mess It Up: The Spiritual Side of Finding the One46:43 — Unconditional Love and Matching WeirdnessesConnect

Dan shares a Nostalgic Reflection on The Cranberries' 1993 hit “Dreams.”   “Dreams is like a signal and electric shock, awakening the mind, body, and spirit so that we're prepared to receive a new energy that's going to shatter the mundanity of our lives.”  -Dan Dissinger   Dan starts a new series on The Nostalgia Test Podcast called “Nostalgic Reflections.” These will be solo episodes about very personal connections, curiosities, and thoughts about the hosts' pop culture pasts.

Being Open to Change 

EPISODE 647 - Christine Devane - Elephant Beach - A Children's Book That Talks About Being Shy and Being Open to Others About the author Christine grew up in North Andover, MA with her parents Tony and Joyce and brothers Anthony and Eddie. She was very shy when she was young and spent a lot of time reading. Throughout her childhood Christine loved animals, especially elephants. People started to buy them for her as a collection. Her grandparents, Eddie and Ginger, as well as her parents would bring her back lucky elephants from their trips. Throughout her childhood Christine always enjoyed trips to the beach with her family and grandparents. In 2006 Christine graduated from Merrimack College with a bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Elementary Education. In 2008 she received her master's degree in Elementary Education from Merrimack College. Christine would then go on to teach elementary school for the next 13 years. Her favorite part of the day was reading to her students. It was during reading time that she connected with her students through books. They learned, laughed and felt a range of emotions together. Christine decided that she wanted to write her own book for students to engage with, while learning and laughing. Since elephants have always been her favorite animal, she found it fitting to include them in her story. In 2017 Christine traveled to Africa with her mother and husband where she was able to see elephants living in the wild, which was always a lifelong dream. Many of the elephants were playing in the water and seemed to be having fun as they appear to in her book. Christine and her husband John have 3 children- Joey, Nick and Adeline and a dog named Sophie with whom she loves to read with. They laugh at her stories and enjoy trips to the beach together as a family. Book: Elephant Beach - A young girl is expecting a quiet, peaceful beach day of reading—but she's in for some disappointment. It turns out elephants love to play, especially at the beach! At first, the girl is annoyed when the elephants break her beach chair. Then, they block her sun amidst other loud and distracting shenanigans. Soon, though, the girl becomes intrigued by the elephants' playful nature. She still tries to read, but their games continue and can't be ignored. Having a change of heart, the young girl joins in when the elephants play volleyball. She surfs huge waves and even helps the elephants when they are scared. The young girl came to the beach to be alone, but she now finds herself surrounded by new friends. The silliness of these gentle giants amuse her, and what was once a plan to find some peace turns into a feast of fun! Come along to Elephant Beach, where distractions are welcome and adventure arrives with each and every wave.https://www.christine-devane.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're exploring the fascinating world of filmmaking through the experiences of Alan Katz.Alan recalled the immense challenges of working with Tim Curry on a project that pushed everyone involved to their limits. The creative process was daunting, especially when Tim was tasked with playing three different roles in a single story. It terrified him—and, as Alan admitted, it scared the entire team as well.But that fear transformed into a powerful opportunity for collaboration and creativity. Alan remembered how carefully the team worked to ensure that the music, acting, and overall tone of the scenes reflected the gravity of the story rather than slipping into unintended comedy.One surreal highlight was guiding the legendary Michael Kamen on how to score a pivotal moment—an experience Alan described as both intimidating and unforgettable. For him, the key takeaway from the process was simple: always stay open to feedback and collaboration, because the best ideas often come from unexpected places.Alan's behind-the-scenes stories remind us that filmmaking is as much about resilience and adaptability as it is about creativity and vision.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - The Death of Some Salesmen: Concept and Casting00:00:26 - The Challenge of Playing Multiple Parts00:00:55 - Casting Tim Curry00:02:27 - Scoring the Sex Scene00:04:05 - The Importance of Being Open to Criticism00:05:43 - Working with Tim Curry00:07:20 - Casting Against Type00:07:33 - Dead Weight: The First Episode00:08:22 - The Importance of the Script as a Technical Document00:10:45 - What's Cooking: Writing and Casting00:11:38 - Challenges with Special Effects00:14:04 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436⁠⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thedonorpodcast.com/

Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD or autism, especially for someone in their adult years, can lead to a serious existential crisis. On one hand, it's a relief to have a new understanding of the way your brain works. On the other hand, coming to grips with one's neurodiversity often leaves us asking: OK, so who am I as a person? This was the case for Dr. Chelsia Potts, the writer, educator, and founder of the online platform Divergenthood.  In this episode of Being Open, Tami Simon speaks with Chelsia about her empowering "unmasking" process for recognizing and offering the gifts of neurodiversity. Tami and Chelsia discuss the existential whirlwind that can come with a diagnosis of neurodiversity; the overall utility of diagnosis and labeling; being "gifted and talented"—and also on the spectrum; empathy, intuition, deep listening, and other "blessings" of neurodiversity; showing up fully versus self-suppression; letting go of shame and unmasking neurodiversity; resisting the system; self-reflection and taking your power back; why there are no shortcuts to the lifelong process of becoming who you really are; finding the tools to flourish after an official diagnosis; managing the boundless energy of ADHD; pattern recognition and the autistic mind; owning our personal limitations; the big question: How do I use this gift so that how we live together can be better?; the "unconventional intellectual" and the importance of bringing the heart into any learning process; finding equal value in thinking and feeling; ancestral spirituality; "autistic glory"; and more.   Note: This interview originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests.

In part one of this two-part conversation in our Being Open podcast series, Tami Simon speaks with Guy Shahar, the author of Transforming Autism, for his unique perspective on how we can best connect with and support our family and community members in the neurodivergent population. Most of us have a general sense of how difficult it can be to raise an autistic child.

In today's fast-paced digital world, micro SaaS platforms are making waves and for good reason. As our guest describes it, micro SaaS is a streamlined version of Software as a Service that addresses specific problems with targeted solutions.

In this week's edition of our end of summer best-of interview series, Dr. Jay speaks with success expert and coach, Emily Williams.  Emily Williams is a success expert, author, speaker, and CEO of multiple brands. After falling into a quarter-life crisis and struggling through a string of low-paying jobs (including serving up lattes at Starbucks), she finally decided it was time to follow her heart. So she packed her bags, moved to London (where she knew no one), and launched her own coaching business, I Heart My Life (without knowing if she'd ever make a dime). And that's when her whole life changed course. In her first month in business, Emily earned $442. She then went on to hit 6 figures before her 30th birthday, and—after just 18 months—successfully scaled what she'd started to a multi-million dollar empire. Today, she remains the CEO of I Heart My Life, which has evolved into a media, educational and lifestyle brand through which she carries out her mission of helping thousands of women worldwide to create a life better than their dreams. During the conversation Dr. Jay and Emily discuss that quarter life crisis Emily had and how it led her to entrepreneurship, before diving into self belief, limiting beliefs, accountability, taking action, and many more topics with nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout.  Listen to Emily's podcast, I Heart My Life: Apple | Spotify | YouTube Find all things Emily Williams on her website.

They attended the same church, dance class and in high school even had lockers next to each other.

Join us in this episode of the None of Your Business podcast, broadcasting live from the NBA All-Star Weekend! This time, we are incredibly fortunate to share the space with David Meltzer—my best friend and a beacon of positivity and abundance. In this conversation, we delve into a profound conversation about the significance of saying "yes" to life's myriad opportunities and the lessons we can learn from the simple act of picking up a penny from the ground.David Meltzer shares his wisdom on the universe's signs of abundance, emphasizing how often people inadvertently say no to opportunity, thereby denying themselves the wealth of experiences and connections available to them.
