A wealthy man told me that although his business is thriving, he understands that he did absolutely nothing to earn his wealth. He then related just one example of how Hashem orchestrated events to bless him with the wealth that he has. He had an average business here in America and was looking to open a similar business overseas. While he was on the flight to go to this other location and see the opportunities there, he made conversation with the man sitting next to him. He mentioned what line of business he was in and how he was looking to expand. The man told him he knows someone with a similar business in the exact location he was looking to open and this person was looking for someone to buy his company. He said his business was doing great, but because he lost a lot of money in other investments, he needed to sell right away. He made the connection and this man bought the business, and it has been thriving ever since. He told me he sees so clearly how Hashem practically put this opportunity right in his lap. He also mentioned that just a few years before that, he was so poor that he was evicted from his apartment for not paying the rent on time. Look how quickly Hashem can take a person from poverty to riches. We know every dollar that a person earns comes from Hashem. Shulchan Aruch writes, it's a good idea to say the parashat Hamann every day and the Mishna Berura explains, by internalizing what it says there, the person will take to heart that his hishtadlut is not what earns him his money. Just like the mann, those who gathered more didn't gain, so too, those who do too much hishtadlut don't gain from it. We constantly need chizuk in this area. Someone told me he bought a stock and after a few weeks sold it with modest gains. A week later, the stock skyrocketed over 100 points, which would have earned him a huge profit. He continues following this stock every day, watching it go higher and higher, regretting the fact that he sold it. He keeps thinking about the money he should have had and it's eating him up. How can we give this man chizuk to stop regretting his actions? I told this man, we believe be'emunah shelema , what the Gemara says, that a person's income is decided on Rosh Hashana, and he will only get exactly what Hashem said he will get. It does not matter if the money comes from a stock or from a business deal or in the form of a gift. It is all included in the number that Hashem had already decreed. If this person would have made all the money he feels he should have from that stock, it would have just meant that he would get less in other areas or have to lose in other areas. We should imagine that our parnasa is like wine in a barrel that has many spigots. If someone empties a lot of wine from one spigot, then there will just be less wine to come out of the others. The amount of wine does not change based on how often the person opens the spigots or which ones he chooses to open. So too our parnasa does not change if we earn a lot in one source. Therefore, this person should not feel bad that he sold the stock. That will not change what he'll earn this year by even one penny. Any money he is supposed to have will come one way or another. The main hishtadlut is for us to realize that the money comes from Hashem and to pray to Him to send it. If there was any way that a person could possibly get an increase on what was decreed on Rosh Hashana, it would only be through a spiritual zechut. Believing that parnasa comes only from Hashem and internalizing that in his heart is an enormous zechut. The best thing this person can do is stop regretting his decision to sell. Rather he should focus on the fact that Hashem has infinite ways of bringing parnasa and the only determinant of how much money he will make is the will of Hashem.

Promise: Discover how one writer-angler-hunter turned his passion for the outdoors into a lifestyle that spans seasons, continents, and meaningful connections. The old way? Believing the outdoors is just a weekend escape. The new way? Letting it shape your story. Ever felt stuck, dreaming about a life of adventure but weighed down by daily responsibilities and not knowing where to start? You've probably: Struggled to make time for real outdoor experiences. Felt intimidated by the idea of pursuing adventure professionally. Thought it was too late to reconnect with nature the way you did as a kid. What that costs you: You miss out on moments that connect you to the wilderness—and to yourself. You lose opportunities to inspire others or share stories that matter. Worst of all, the longer you wait, the more disconnected you feel from the adventure you crave. I get it—life pulls us in every direction. Between work, family, and modern distractions, it feels impossible to press pause and find your path back to nature. But it's not your fault—society makes adventure seem like something we outgrow.

David Mcllvaney shares how he turned his outdoor passions into a life of meaning, adventure, and stories worth telling. Think of this episode as your personal roadmap to embracing the outdoors in ways you never thought possible. David's story is proof: you don't need to be a wilderness survival expert to live closer to nature. It's about connection—whether you're fly-fishing in Iceland, writing about Patagonia, or sitting by a campfire in your backyard. It reminded me of that moment as a kid when you'd run wild through the woods, build forts, and poke at “dead stuff” with a stick. Adventure was instinctual. This episode will help you rediscover that feeling—and keep it. Here's what you'll learn: How to turn your passions into meaningful stories. David started by writing about his fly-fishing adventures—and sold every single one of his first stories. How to embrace the outdoors fully. From shedding the "layers" of daily life to truly connecting with your surroundings, David shares tips that make every trip unforgettable. How to create opportunities for yourself. Whether it's freelancing, connecting with editors, or repurposing content, David's journey is full of actionable advice. Benefits Reconnect deeply with nature. Whether it's a weekend escape or a life shift, you'll feel the joy of being part of the wilderness. Build stories worth sharing. Use David's advice to start documenting your adventures—and maybe even see your name in print. Live the life you've dreamed of. Turn your outdoor hobbies into a lifestyle that inspires and sustains you. We'll leave you with this: Life's greatest adventures aren't just about the places you visit—they're about how they change you. Don't wait for permission to live your outdoor story. Start now.

Tuesday, 19 November 2024   “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14   “You, you are the world's light. A city, not it is able to conceal lying atop a hill” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus noted that His disciples were the salt of the earth. Now, He makes another comparison, saying, “You, you are the world's light.”   Elsewhere in the New Testament, Jesus states that He is the light, such as in John 9:5 –   “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”   John says the same thing about Jesus on several occasions in his gospel and epistles. There is no contradiction here. To share the good news of Jesus is to share His light. Upon His departure, those who share it are said to be lights by Paul –   “Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.” Philippians 2:14, 15   Paul says this elsewhere as well. In Ephesians 5, he specifically says the reason for using this metaphor –   “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:8-11   The world is filled with sin. This can be equated to darkness. It casts a spiritual pall over the people of the world. Only in coming to Christ will this change. However, it should be obvious that this is not some type of impartation of light that suddenly changes a person to become a useful light.   One must know what their conversion meant and how to convey that to others. That can only come by knowing the word which gives instruction on such matters. Those following Jesus didn't suddenly get injected with this light. Rather, that is why they are called disciples. They followed Him, learned from Him, and were corrected by Him.   The charismatic approach to theology is simply not found in Scripture. Hard work is necessary to be a Spirit-filled light in the world. Understanding this, Jesus continues, saying, “A city, not it is able to conceal lying atop a hill.”   The word epanó is used. It extends beyond the word “on” usually used here. It is derived from epi, on or upon, and anó, up, above, up to the top, etc. The city sits atop the hill, in the most prominent position. Other than a cloudy day, it is not possible for such a city to be hidden. It sits openly for all to see.   Likewise, if one is outspoken in his ministry of conveying Jesus, it cannot be hidden. The light that is effective is one that has sufficient fuel and oxygen to shine brightly. Jesus is telling us, quite clearly, that to be effective in our lives as Christians, we are to be properly discipled in the word, outspoken in our proclamation, and unashamed of conveying the good news to others.   Life application: The words of Jesus here are a clear and unambiguous declaration that to be effective in one's life as a useful Christian, a person will be properly discipled. Even the disciples that followed Jesus were not like this for much of their time with Him. For example –   “From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.” John 6:66   These people were not willing to stick it out and do the hard work of discovering what Jesus meant. Instead, when things got a little rocky, they just walked away from Him. It is ironic that the verse this happens in is 6:66. They decided that their Messiah was not the Messiah. Also, Peter, even having been with Jesus so long, betrayed Him, denying Him three times. And this, even after he was told he would do so!   Only in the resurrection did he turn back to the Lord. But then! In Galatians 2, he still failed in his stance –   “Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; 12 for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. 13 And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.” Galatians 2:11-13   Believing the gospel is only the very beginning of being a light in the world. The fuel to make that light effective is found in ardently sticking out the tough times and unceasingly searching out the word. If you are unwilling to do these things, you will never be an effective light in this darkened world. Knuckle down! Get to it. Follow Jesus, and be a burning torch as you walk in this sin-filled world.   Lord God, help us to be effective followers of Jesus. The walk can be tiring, filled with sandpits and snares, and one that is fraught with frustration, but with Your Spirit to guide us, we know we can do it. So, Lord, help us each step of our lives to be faithful followers of our true Light, Jesus our Lord. Amen.  

A confession of faith continues as a commitment of faith. Believing in God embraces all and everything in our obedience to God. “Without faith it is impossible to please him…” (Heb. 11:6).

With profits falling and first party game releases scarce, it seemed like PlayStation's positive commercial situation may have been softening. But Sony's newest financial report illustrates a rosy picture, with ballooning sales, impressive margins, and a brighter software-driven future that promises more of the brand's bread-and-butter: First party, single-player AAA fare. With a temporary PS5 price cut now instituted, rumors of Guerrilla's Horizon Online targeting a 2025 release date, and so on, it appears PlayStation may be back-on-track and off to the races. Other news this week includes even more confirmation that Xbox games will continue to migrate to PlayStation in greater numbers, a potential tease of a Sony event commemorating PSone's 30th anniversary, Amazon finally getting a Mass Effect TV show off the ground, and more. Then, we wrap up with listener inquiries. Have we started thinking about what our respective "Game of the Year" might be? How come Game of Thrones never got an adequate (or even great) video game rendition? Is it possible to play the "biggest" and "best" games on a budget? Can we all agree that Christmas trees shouldn't be put out until November at the earliest?

Fr. Bryan Kassa - "What Version of Yourself are you Believing?" 3rd Sunday of The Church 2024 by Chaldean Diocese

Coffee brings people together for all sorts of reasons. One of the beautiful ways coffee is used is as a vehicle for change in areas of our world that desperately need it. Nowhere is change more needed than in the realm of human trafficking and exploitation.  I am thrilled to talk with a couple of professionals on the front lines of this fight. We are talking with Jenny Barber and Jake Jiron of Talitha Coffee Roasters! Jenny Barber, Cofounder of Talitha Coffee Roaster has spent the past 14 years becoming an expert on the topic of Human Trafficking. Determined to make a positive difference after witnessing the devastating, intergenerational impact of the issue from a young age Jenny founded Talitha Coffee Roasters.  Their mission is to end Human trafficking and support survivors, one sip at a time. They do this By creating job opportunities, providing support for survivors of human trafficking, and partnering with experts as well as individuals and organizations seeking to benefit others.  Jenny herself is a survivor of childhood exploitation.

Achieve a brighter life by effectively operating from the heart. The heart connects everything at a cellular level and generates intention with motivation; ideas with inspiration, hope, will, and courage. Authenticity arises from this giving us faith and trust to believe strongly in it all. Believing creates the power for life to become true.

Detailed question: I have explained the gospel to them but they don't care and refuse to believe. They are waiting for a divine experience where hell is opened to them and where they have a deep sense of their sin and misery. They think they have to pray for a new heart, use the means, wait, and maybe one day God will convert them. They say they are dead and can't believe, but they also don't care that they are headed to hell. It has caused me a lot of grief and I don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to strain relationships but I also deeply care about their souls.--------With Pastor Jim Butler, Pastor Mike Kirkpatrick, and Wim Kerkhoff.

On October 6th, 2020 in a school outside Paris, teacher Samuel Paty gave a lesson on freedom of speech – the same lesson he had given several times before which involved showing drawings of the prophet Muhammad – to a class of teenagers.He was later beheaded outside the school in a savage attack that shocked France. The assailant Abdoullakh Anzorov, the young man of Chechen origin who wielded the knife, is dead – shot by police in the minutes after his attack.The next day one of his pupils – the 13-year-old girl – was asked by her father why she was not going to school. She told him she had been disciplined because she dared to stand up to Paty when he told Muslims to leave the class so he could show a naked picture of the prophet. It was all a lie; she was not even in school that day.Believing her, her father took to social media to condemn Paty and the story grew online.On trial are two men accused of identifying Paty as a “blasphemer” over the Internet, two friends of Anzorov who allegedly gave him logistical help, and four others who offered support on chatlines.As BBC correspondent in Paris, Hugh Schofield explains to In the News that the trial is less about the murder itself, and more about the circumstances that led to it.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Election Implications and Presidential Term. National Sales Tax (consumption tax) and Tariffs. Alternative Investments and Inflation Concerns. Comparing Politics and Market Flaws. Guest: Kerry Lutz  NEW! DOWNLOAD THE SHOW NOTES Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school‘s library. After graduating from The New York Law School, he became an attorney and lifelong serial entrepreneur. His diverse career has included: running a legal printing company, practicing commercial law and litigation and founding a successful distressed asset investment company. After the 2008 financial collapse and the continued global economic deterioration, Kerry realized people needed a reliable source for accurate information. Believing that inflation would eventually run rampant, he dedicated himself to helping people protect and preserve their wealth. He urged investors to re-balance their investment portfolios and to implement precious metals based strategies to adapt to the new economic order. The ability to perceive economic reality, as well as to separate truth from governmental inspired economic fantasy will be essential for economic survival and prosperity in the years ahead. In 2010, Kerry gave up most of his other interests to pursue his long held desire of becoming a radio show host. Thus the Financial Survival Network was born. Its mission is helping you to survive and thrive in the New Economy. He has done hundreds of interviews with such financial luminaries as Peter Schiff, Harry S. Dent, Martin Armstrong and Peter Grandich. Kerry now appears on 1490 WGCH, in Greenwich, CT, every Tuesday from 11am-12pm EST. In addition, he is continually releasing new segments and interviews on iTunes, Libsyn podcasters and YouTube. His new Triple Lutz Report was an instant hit and continues to increase audience share.

It is so vital that we perceive the depth and weight of the amazing gift of prayer. It's the starting point, the beginning of everything! When we pray, the answer begins immediately, because it is impossible to pray and nothing happen. Believing this truth shifts our perspective away from being defined by the world's culture, and enables us to be complete in who we were created to be, absolutely convinced that no matter what, Abba is weaving together every detail of our lives for good. 

Here is our interview with the awesome and super talented Kaydra Brannan of the Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast.Kedra created Perplexity: A Mystery Podcast as a creative outlet during pandemic burnout from her healthcare career, drawing inspiration from her childhood love of mysteries and true crime.

Read OnlineThe Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.” Luke 18:6–8It's interesting that Jesus uses the example of a dishonest judge to illustrate the importance of praying to God, calling out to Him day and night for justice. As the parable goes, this judge cared little about a widow in his town who continually came to him asking for a just decision. He felt as though she was continually bothering him. Because she was so persistent, the judge thought to himself, “...because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.” Jesus' conclusion from this parable is quoted above.The simple lesson we ought to learn from this parable is that we must be persistent in prayer. God will always answer our prayers, seeing to it that “justice is done” speedily. But many people have prayed and prayed and prayed for some situation, prayed even for justice, and it appeared that God did not answer their prayer. Thus, some may question the promise of Jesus that persistent prayer will always be answered and justice always be rendered.If this is your experience, it is essential that you remind yourself of two things. First, Jesus' words are true. When we persevere in prayer and trust in God, He hears us and answers. This is our Lord's unwavering promise. But secondly, the “justice” that God delivers may often be different than the justice we expect. It may be that we want someone to pay for a wrong they did to us, but after praying fervently, our expectation is not met by our Lord. For this reason, it is essential that we know that God answers every prayer we pray, but in accord with His perfect will and wisdom. Therefore, God's view of justice at times may be very different than ours. At times, His justice is satisfied by His invitation to us to show mercy in abundance. True mercy always satisfies justice.Take, for example, the case of someone speaking in a rude manner to you. If you offer that situation to our Lord, He will enter in and provide His grace for you to deal with it in accord with His will. Perhaps He will soften the other person's heart so that they apologize, or perhaps, if they don't apologize and their heart is not softened, then God's answer to your prayer will be to give you the grace of humility so that you can love that person despite their unrepentance. Regardless of the way our Lord intervenes, the fact remains that He will intervene and enable you to fulfill His perfect will. If, however, your prayer is that the person be held accountable and condemned, then you are trying to tell God what to do, and He will not accede to your request. All of our prayer must ultimately be for the fulfillment of God's perfect will in accord with His wisdom.Reflect, today, upon how completely you trust in God. Do you know, with certainty, that He will answer every prayer that you fervently pray with faith in accord with His divine will? Believing this is freeing and enables you to live more fully in union with Him. If there is some issue with which you struggle right now, even some apparent injustice, then entrust it to our Lord, day and night without ceasing, and know that His grace will guide you as He answers you in accord with His will. My all-wise Lord, Your will is perfect in all things, and You always bestow Your grace upon me when I pray without ceasing. Please give me a trusting Heart, dear Lord, so that I will never waver in my hope that You will always answer my prayers in accord with Your will. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

In Part 1 of this series, Miyanovich and Yamane discuss: the Gun Curious book tour, frustration and disappointment with the broader reaction to the book, wanting to quit, closed-minded liberals and Big Publishing, and the casual alliance between David and Randy starting to created some impact. Hitler's nuts are also discussed.

Jeannette tackles the often daunting topic of public speaking, exploring the common fears and blockers that many individuals face when it comes to sharing their message with the world, and emphasising the importance of mindset and preparation. KEY TAKEAWAYS Your mindset is crucial when it comes to public speaking. Believing in your ability to deliver a message can significantly impact your performance. Remember the quote: "Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right." Being organised and well-prepared is essential. This includes knowing your topic, practicing your speech, and ensuring all technical aspects (like audio and slides) are in order before you take the stage. Consistent practice helps build confidence. It's important to rehearse your speech multiple times, ideally in front of a mirror or with a trusted friend, to become comfortable with the material and delivery. Perfection is not the goal; being authentic and human can resonate more with your audience. Accept that nerves are normal and can be channeled positively to enhance your delivery. BEST MOMENTS "When you actually do put yourself out to the world and you have a message to share, you can do so much good." "Those who think they can and those who think they can't are both usually right." "If you have a message to share with the world, then there is no better way to do that than to actually put yourself out there." "Recognise the fact you stood up there on a stage, you delivered a message, that in itself is a huge achievement." "Feedback is the breakfast of champions. That's how we improve. It's how we grow."   This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life.

  Do you ever feel like there is this invisible force keeping you from accomplishing the things you desire to accomplish?  Do you start to doubt yourself when a new idea comes to mind?  What about freezing up when you get ready to step out of your comfort zone?  limiting beliefs. These are the subconscious stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we're capable of—and they often hold us back more than any external obstacle could. So, if you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or convinced that ‘this is just the way things are,' stick around. We're going to uncover where these beliefs come from, common ones that might be affecting you, and powerful strategies to break free from them and start embracing a growth-focused mindset.   What Are Limiting Beliefs? Limiting beliefs are assumptions or ideas we hold about ourselves and our potential. These beliefs shape our perception of what's possible, and they often aren't even based on actual experiences. Instead, they come from what we've internalized from society, family, or past experiences. According to a study by the National Science Foundation, about 80% of our thoughts are negative. So, it's not surprising that many of us have self-limiting beliefs that keep us from achieving our true potential. Quote: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't—you're right.” - Henry Ford Examples of Limiting Beliefs: “I'm not good enough.” “People like me don't succeed.” “I can't handle rejection.” “I'll never be able to make a lasting change.”   Where Do Limiting Beliefs Come From? These beliefs often start early. A parent's well-meaning advice, a teacher's casual criticism, or a moment of failure can all plant seeds of self-doubt. Limiting beliefs can also be reinforced by social norms or cultural expectations. For example, if society constantly tells women that they have to ‘choose' between a career and a family, it's easy to internalize the belief that they can't successfully have both. These subtle messages create a mental framework that can be very hard to escape. Stat: According to a survey by Dove, only 4% of women globally consider themselves beautiful. Imagine the impact of such a limiting belief on self-worth and confidence.   Common Limiting Beliefs and Their Impact Let's take a look at some of the most common limiting beliefs. See if any of these resonate with you: “I'm not talented/smart/experienced enough.” This belief creates a fixed mindset, which makes it harder to take on new challenges. Studies show that people with a fixed mindset are more likely to give up in the face of obstacles. “I don't have enough time/money/resources.” This belief keeps us from even trying. We assume that success requires the ‘perfect conditions,' which often aren't realistic. “I've always been this way.” This belief can be incredibly disempowering. Believing that change is impossible keeps you from ever stepping out of your comfort zone. “I'll fail, so why even try?” Fear of failure is one of the most paralyzing limiting beliefs. However, research shows that failure is an essential part of growth—people who fail frequently tend to develop more resilience and achieve long-term success.   Shifting from Limiting Beliefs to a Growth-Focused Mindset Now that we know what limiting beliefs are, let's talk about how to overcome them. Here are some steps that can help you shift from a limiting mindset to a growth-focused one. Awareness and Recognition Start by identifying your limiting beliefs. Try journaling to pinpoint recurring negative thoughts. Ask yourself: ‘What stories do I tell myself about my abilities and potential?' Recognizing these thoughts is half the battle. Once you're aware, you can challenge them instead of accepting them as facts. Question Your Beliefs Take one limiting belief and ask yourself: ‘Is this really true?' For example, if you believe “I'm not good at speaking in public,” ask if there's any evidence supporting that belief. Think of counterexamples where you succeeded or improved over time. This process of ‘debunking' helps you see your beliefs in a new light. Quote: “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” - Vincent Van Gogh Replace Negative Beliefs with Positive Ones After challenging a limiting belief, replace it with an empowering one. Instead of “I'm not good enough,” try, “I'm a work in progress, and I'm improving every day.” Psychologists call this “cognitive restructuring,” and it's a proven way to rewire the brain for a growth mindset. Visualization and Affirmations Studies have shown that visualization can improve motivation, coordination, and even actual performance. Visualize yourself succeeding and embodying the growth-focused mindset you want. Affirmations can also help. For instance, saying “I am capable of change, and I welcome challenges” daily can reshape how you think about yourself over time. Surround Yourself with Positivity Surrounding yourself with supportive people can significantly impact your mindset. If possible, seek out friends, mentors, or a coach who can encourage you to stay on the growth-focused path. According to research by social psychologist Dr. David McClelland, the people you spend the most time with can significantly influence your mindset and behaviors. Take Small, Consistent Action The best way to break a limiting belief is through action. Start with small, manageable steps that challenge your belief. If you think you're “not athletic,” start with a short workout every day, and gradually increase your activity. Small wins will reinforce the belief that change is possible.    Real-Life Examples and Success Stories Let me share a quick story. One of my clients came to me believing she could never stick to a workout routine because she ‘never had before.' She'd tried everything, but her belief that she was ‘inconsistent' kept sabotaging her. We worked together to reframe that belief, focusing on small, achievable wins. Today, she's not only consistent with her fitness routine, but she's also taken that new sense of resilience into other areas of her life.   The Power of Breaking Free So, here's the takeaway: Limiting beliefs might feel like facts, but they're simply stories we've told ourselves for too long. By identifying, questioning, and reframing them, we open ourselves up to a world of possibility. Imagine what your life could look like if you truly believed that you were capable of anything you set your mind to.
