Knowing about God is one thing, but knowing God is another. Believing in Him is good, but believing Him is better. The difference between impersonal religion and vibrant faith is in how you experience the presence of God. Every Sunday in July at The Story, we will hear powerful testimonies from people whose lives have been transformed by spiritual encounters, and we'll learn how to make ourselves more available to God.

If you exercise too much but can't stop, if rest days fill you with anxiety, if you've convinced yourself that constant movement equals worthiness—this episode is your permission slip to finally rest. Lindsey shares her personal journey from exercise addiction to freedom, revealing the powerful 4-letter word and method that saved her life: REST. You'll discover why your brain equates rest with laziness, learn the REST acronym that breaks the compulsive exercise cycle, and understand why rest isn't a reward for work—it's part of the recovery work itself. What You'll Learn ✨ Why exercise addiction is common in eating disorders (and how to recognize it) ✨ The false beliefs that keep you trapped in compulsive exercise patterns ✨ How "dedicated" becomes destructive (and when to be concerned) ✨ The REST method: A practical 4-step approach to breaking exercise addiction ✨ Why rest days anxiety is normal in recovery (and how to manage it) ✨ Biblical perspective on rest and recovery (Matthew 11:28) Exercise Addiction Warning Signs Do you recognize yourself in these patterns? Exercising every single day, multiple times per day Eating while standing to "burn more calories" Doing random exercises throughout the day (crunches, etc.) Believing rest makes you lazy or weak Feeling anxious or guilty about missing workouts Exercising even when injured or exhausted Viewing movement solely through a calorie-burning lens Isolating from friends/activities that involve sitting The REST Method Breakdown R - RELAX Surrender and give up control Pause, pray, stop, step away Let go of the bondage to constant movement Practice: Try stopping your workout 1 minute earlier each day E - EVALUATE Get in tune with your feelings and emotions Reframe emotions with facts Challenge thoughts: "Will I really 'blow up' if I don't go to the gym?" Ask: "Am I actually going to heal my disordered relationship with exercise?" S - SET AN INTENTION Define what your best self means to you Plan and pre-decide your actions Ask: "What's one thing I can do to step in her direction?" Focus on who you want to become, not what you want to avoid T - TAKE ACTION Put that step in motion and practice The hardest part: actually doing what you've been thinking about Don't wait for your eating disorder to give permission Remember: The action here IS resting Key Mindset Shifts Rest Isn't Laziness—It's Living "You aren't lazy, you're living. You're allowed rest." Rest Is Part of Recovery Work "Resting isn't a reward for work. It's part of the work. It's part of the recovery work." Your Body Needs Repair "If you don't rest, you can't repair. If you don't rest, you can't restore. If you don't rest, you can't reflect." Cultural Lies vs. Recovery Truth Culture says: Hustle and go, go, go Recovery truth: Two rest days in a row is exactly what you need to heal The Deeper Issue: Fear of Self Why Rest Feels Impossible Fear of sitting with yourself Not knowing who you are without constant motion Anxiety about having more time to think about food Fear of "losing control" around food when home longer The Weekend Challenge Weekends felt harder because more time at home More food available = more food thoughts Fear of "going off the rails" Solution: Learning to sit with discomfort Biblical Foundation for Rest Matthew 11:28: "Come to me, all you who feel weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." God himself rested after creation Rest is divinely designed, not humanly weak Weariness and burden are invitations to rest Rest is both physical and spiritual restoration Practical Steps to Implement This Week Start Small One Minute Method: Stop your workout 1 minute earlier each day Sitting Practice: Sit for 5 minutes without doing anything productive Weekend Rest: Allow yourself one full rest day this weekend Challenge the Thoughts When you think "I'm being lazy": Remind yourself "I'm healing" When you feel guilty: Remember "Rest is part of recovery work" When you fear weight gain: Focus on "My body needs repair" Find Your Rest Activities Rest isn't just napping—it's anything that makes your nervous system feel safe: Yoga or gentle stretching Meditation or prayer Reading for pleasure Warm baths Nature walks (for joy, not calorie burn) Professional Support Recommendations Lindsey emphasizes the importance of working with qualified professionals: Clinicians: For DBT therapy and emotion management Dietitians: For nutrition guidance during recovery Coaches: For lived experience and practical support "The best thing you can do is give yourself permission and work with someone who has lived experience." Recovery Encouragement You're Not Alone Exercise addiction is common in eating disorders Your struggle with rest is valid and normal Recovery is possible, even from severe exercise addiction Permission Granted You have permission to rest You deserve to discover who you are without constant motion Your worth isn't determined by calories burned The Promise "If I can have an addiction with exercise, if I can completely break the chains of that bondage, I know that's God's plan in your life too."

Seeing is believing. Or is it? Well, to hear the Apostle John tell it, it's the other way around. Believing is seeing. This truth is echoed throughout the Bible, but the Gospel of John places special emphasis on belief, as well as the Person in whom we should believe. John ultimately takes us to the deep end of theology and philosophy, and we dive into those waters next, as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible.”
We all have financial responsibilities…but what do you do for your heart? This week’s episode is a meeting of the mentors with Valerie Khoo, CEO of the Australian Writers’ Centre, sitting down to unpack creativity with our very own Pamela Cook. Through her work at the AWC, Val has had a hand in shaping the careers of some of Australia’s bestselling authors and writers—showing people you can make a living with your words and how to get started doing it. In recent years, Val’s own creativity has bloomed (pardon the pun ) when she began exploring painting during COVID. She now has a thriving artistic practise, allowing her to create joyful, beautiful pieces. Believing it’s okay to be multi-passionate, Val’s chat with Pam will be inspiring to those of us who have trouble ‘staying in their lane’.

Believing in something is powerful—but when does belief become a burden? In this episode, we examine the difference between passion and obsession. Whether it's a Jedi driven by the Code or a zealot chasing their own truth, conviction can lead heroes... or villains. Organizations across the galaxy are being pushed to their limits, clinging to their values while reality pulls them apart. The line between right and wrong is razor-thin. And some are about to fall right off the edge. Tune in as we navigate the collision of ideals and ego.We hope you enjoy today's show.

Send us a textAbout This EpisodeBill Burke, founder of the Optimism Institute and former Turner Broadcasting executive, shares his bold journey from high-profile media roles to purpose-driven work centered on optimism and alignment. Drawing on experiences ranging from co-authoring Ted Turner's autobiography to leading a minor league baseball team, Bill explores how true optimism is not blind positivity, but the active belief in a better future paired with a willingness to act. He outlines four pillars of optimism, action, perspective, hope, and resilience, and explains why pessimism fuels apathy while optimism drives meaningful change. Whether navigating personal transitions or global challenges, Bill's message is clear: each of us has the power to make tomorrow better than today. About Bill BurkeBill Burke founded The Optimism Institute in 2022 after an extensive media and sports career as an executive, writer, and producer. Bill served as CEO of The Weather Channel Companies after several years at Time Warner/Turner Broadcasting System, where he was the founding general manager of Turner Classic Movies before going on to become president of TBS Superstation. Additionally, for fifteen years he was the co-owner and chairman of the Portland Sea Dogs, the double-A Minor League Baseball affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. As a writer, Bill co-authored Ted Turner's top-10 New York Times Best-Selling autobiography Call Me Ted and later co-wrote/produced/directed “Live Another Day,” an award-winning feature-length documentary on the bailout of the U.S. auto industry.Bill is a lifelong optimist (he has to be - he's a Detroit Lions fan) and launched The Optimism Institute with a mission to inspire people with an optimistic, hopeful vision of the world and its future.

Mimic Cryptids and Creatures This week we discuss mimics - creatures that disguise themselves by imitating the voices and appearances of our loved ones. We explore the umbrella term of "mimic" and break down the various cryptids that fall under this category, from the familiar doppelgangers and skinwalkers to the lesser-known but equally disturbing Fleshgait and False Humans. These entities are said to lurk in forests, particularly around the Appalachian Mountains, using their supernatural abilities to lure unsuspecting victims by perfectly replicating the voices of family members and friends calling out from the darkness. We also share five creepy encounters from Reddit users who've experienced these deceptive creatures firsthand, including stories from Tennessee cabins, Minneapolis parks, and remote Montana wilderness. From hearing a sister's voice calling from outside while she sits right next to you, to a boyfriend's doppelganger appearing bedside with unnaturally wide eyes, these accounts are sure to give you some chills!

Jess's name may sound familiar to some of you who've been long-time listeners to SASS…she was my guest on Episode 44, in August, 2023. The reason I'm featuring Sirona Healing Center this week is two-fold: first, it's a pleasure to have Jessica Pride back as a guest this week. Secondly, I am always pleased to present avenues of support and healing that my audience may be able to access to help them on their healing journey. And, after talking with Jessica about her plan to open this type of facility, even 2 years aga when I met up with Jess at the End Violence Against Women-International annual conference in San Diego, I was excited to hear that she had accomplished this dream of hers. So, I wanted to make you aware of this avenue of potential support and healing.

Click here for the DRB Daily Sign Up form! TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 19-21; Hebrews 11 Click HERE to give! Get Free App Here! One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 14th episode, host Hunter guides us through another step on our year-long journey through Scripture. Today, we reflect on the powerful prophecies found in Isaiah chapters 19-21, where nations rise and fall but God's grace and restoration shine through. We also turn to Hebrews 11—the famous “Hall of Faith”—where we're reminded that, from Abel to Abraham to Moses, it is trust in God that marks those who belong to Him. Hunter offers gentle encouragement that living by faith has always been the way, even when circumstances seem uncertain. You'll be invited to meditate on what it means to walk with God, hope in His promises, and find peace in the journey, with heartfelt prayers and a blessing to carry you through the day. Settle in, open your heart, and remember: you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: How much more needs to be said? The writer of Hebrews asks us this question, and it echoes through the story of God's people from the very beginning until now. From righteous Abel to Zechariah, and all the saints in between, it's always been the same story: the righteous live by faith. That's always been at the heart of God's invitation, and it still is today. There's no secret initiation or hidden knowledge required; it's a simple, trusting faith that acknowledges there is a God—and now, as we see in Christ, that God has shown up in person. He has come into our brokenness to mend what is shattered, to make all things new. This is the “something better” that God had always planned—his presence with us, his saving work for us, and his continual companionship as we walk through life. Believing in Christ doesn't mean everything will work out the way we want. Faith is not a formula for an easy road—but it is a promise that, in the end, it will work out, because God is with us every step of the way. It means that whatever comes, he is there to give hope and peace and real love. Through faith, we can experience change; we can, by his Spirit, begin to live the life he calls us to. What more do we need to hear? God is with us, and he is working all things together for our good, for those who love him and are called according to his purpose. So today, as the weak and the battered, the shattered and the broken, and yet the blessed, we go forward in faith—a faith in the God who has something better in mind, something that is so good it surpasses even our best hopes. May our focus today be set on that hope—looking to the horizon, setting our course on the goodness of God's promise, and taking each step with him at our side. That's my prayer for my own heart. It's my prayer for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And it is my prayer for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today, let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.

Faith doesn't ignore reality, it speaks to it. Layla Nahavandi unpacks the charge of Mark 11:22–24, where Jesus calls us to mountain-moving faith not rooted in hype, but in His Word. Believing isn't passive. It's active trust. Speaking what God said, standing when nothing looks like it's shifting. Faith is obedience. It seeks the Word, speaks the Word, and prays like it's already done. This is the way of the Kingdom. The way Jesus taught. The way mountains move.
Knowing about God is one thing, but knowing God is another. Believing in Him is good, but believing Him is better. The difference between impersonal religion and vibrant faith is in how you experience the presence of God. Every Sunday in July at The Story, we will hear powerful testimonies from people whose lives have been transformed by spiritual encounters, and we'll learn how to make ourselves more available to God.

Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.
We remembered how Pentecost wasn't just an event… it was a turning point. It was the birth of the Church, the coming of the Spirit, and the unleashing of power into everyday believers.
At the end of the day, when it comes to People being are our Purpose, I can't overstate how important our attitude is. Without the right attitude, it'll be very easy to look past the one God's wanting us to influence.

Question: Will the people you are partnered with help you get past your limitations? In this sermon, Pastor Rick teaches that you can’t fulfill your calling alone—you must form intentional partnerships that help you rise above your limitations. Using the story of the two blind men and examples like Paul and other biblical figures, he shows how faith-filled collaboration and entrepreneurial courage can unlock God’s purpose for your life.

Religion in the US has been on the decline for many years, but does atheism make us unhappier?

The Demonic Possession of David Glatzel and Arne Johnson This week we dive into one of the most terrifying possession cases in American history - the haunting of the Glatzel family in 1980s Connecticut. When the family moved into what seemed like an innocent rental home in Brookfield, they had no idea they were stepping into a nightmare that would tear their lives apart. It all began when 11-year-old David was violently pushed by an unseen force while cleaning his new bedroom, coming face-to-face with a grotesque demonic entity with coal-black eyes and melting skin. What followed were months of escalating supernatural terror - mysterious whispers, vanishing medicine bottles, unexplained scratches appearing on David's body, and the boy speaking in foreign tongues while contorting his body in impossible ways. The situation reached a breaking point when renowned paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were called in, bringing multiple priests to perform what would become a series of harrowing exorcisms. But during the final ritual, David's sister's boyfriend Arne Johnson made a fateful decision that would change everything - he challenged the demon to take him instead of the boy. Months later, this act of apparent heroism would lead to the first recorded homicide in Brookfield's history and result in the first-ever legal defense of "demonic possession" in an American courtroom - infamously becoming "the devil made me do it."

In the Old Testament, God promised to pour out his Spirit on all believers… young and old, men and women, rich and poor. Pastor Colin talks about what that would look like.
Knowing about God is one thing, but knowing God is another. Believing in Him is good, but believing Him is better. The difference between impersonal religion and vibrant faith is in how you experience the presence of God. Every Sunday in July at The Story, we will hear powerful testimonies from people whose lives have been transformed by spiritual encounters, and we'll learn how to make ourselves more available to God.
