Tune in and discover how to bring awareness to your limiting stories, question them, and choose to own them.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/460omiQ

Gaelin Elmore is back for Part 2! Gaelin shares more about his current life, the work he's doing being a father, and the state of his family relationships now. He teaches how your specific journey can give you the license to be empathetic towards what others are going through and to not diminish or de-qualify what you've been through. We are all a product of the support that we have and when you find the time to heal and be whole, you can help other people. Gaelin helps shift your thinking from what is wrong with you, to what happened to you, finding your true sense of belonging.

The Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, has recently warned of a loneliness epidemic in the United States and has cited research suggesting that loneliness can be as toxic to our health as 15 cigarettes per day. Unfortunately, societal trends do not support people getting together in real life. Attendance at virtually all community gatherings is on the decline, whether we are referring to social groups, religious organizations, or even picnics.Sadly, our 35,000-year-old brains are not wired for the isolation we are experiencing these days. Our social brains crave community and togetherness, and even the most introverted of us need some communal connection, but we rarely know how to do it or where to even look.And that is why I'm so happy to speak with Charles Vogl (https://www.charlesvogl.com/). Charles has spent time in diverse communities such as the Peace Corps in Zambia, Yale University where he did his master's degree in spiritual traditions, philosophy, and business., and here in Silicon Valley where he has served at Google's Vitality Lab. He is the author of a book I loved called The Art of Community: Seven Principles for Belonging. Charles speaks about the principles that help communities thrive and why we need them. I agree with bestselling author Richard Leider, who said of the book, "At last, here is an insightful guide to create the community you have envisioned for yourself and others." Amen, brother.   So, listen in as Charles and I talk about the art of community.

At The Loft, there are four fundamental values that we draw from the teachings of Jesus that inform how we practice Christianity: Compassion, Decolonization, Belonging, and Conversation. We have spent the summer exploring belonging and in our current series, The Loft 101, we will explore how the remaining three values inform who we are and who we aim to be as a faith community. This Sunday's gathering will focus on decolonization. Jesus was a Jew who was born and died in subjugation to the Roman Empire. His body was and remains marked by gender, culture, and religion. Given this, we must ask ourselves how Jesus' cultural context as a colonial subject shaped his religious and social practices. A decolonial analysis is one of the four key values that inform the theology of The Loft community. We invite you to join us this Sunday as we examine the importance of decolonial thinking and practicing Jesus' spiritual path of radical compassion. Question to consider before we gather – How would you respond in a situation where your supervisor (or someone who is your superior) asks you to do something that goes against your moral standards? www.TheLoftLA.org

Ezekiel 44, “You shall be ministers in My sanctuary, gatekeepers of My house and you shall stand before the people and minister to them.” Remember, in the Hebrew Gatekeeper simply means servant.

In this deeply introspective episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, we address a topic that resonates with many – the feeling of displacement and the internal struggles of belonging. We understand that there are times when it feels as though you're merely floating through life, questioning if you truly belong or if you're living out your destined purpose.   But, did you know that your very existence is not by accident? Recent scientific discoveries highlight the remarkable process of conception. An article from Stockholm University reveals that out of 80 to 300 million possible sperm, a woman's egg sends out unique signals, selecting just one. Think about that for a moment. Out of hundreds of millions, you were the one chosen. You can find the full insights in the article linked here.   With this profound realization, it's essential to recognize that you are here for a reason. Every individual has a purpose woven into their existence, and even during the challenging times, remember that you were deliberately chosen. Your journey, your experiences, and your unique contributions to this world were destined.   For those feeling unanchored, remember this: life might be unpredictable, and at times, overwhelmingly difficult. Yet, there's an inherent strength in each of us, born from the fact that we were selected from millions.   In this episode, we'll delve deeper into embracing this truth, understanding our inherent worth, and ways to navigate feelings of doubt. Your sense of purpose and belonging is waiting to be uncovered. Let's journey together to find it.   ⩥ PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL ⩤ https://bi3xbvVont.ly/   CLICK HERE for our best-selling products: https://amzn.to/3xaG3xw and https://rdbl.co/3DIQVUC   CLICK HERE to join our free Police, Fire, Military and Families Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/38w2e7r   Check out our website and learn more about how you can work with LEO Warriors by going to: https://www.leowarriors.com/   Like what you hear?

Gaelin Elmore helps professionals and adults who serve youth with adverse backgrounds understand belonging, identify the gaps in belonging, and erase them so their youth can heal and reach their full potential. In Part 1, Gaelin takes us back to his first memory as a 4 year-old child, being taken from his family as he was thrust into a long journey through the foster care system, the abuse he faced from a young age, trauma and triumph as a young adult, to signing as a D-1 athlete and eventually to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Sermon: Why Belonging Breeds Joy Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Speaker: Amanda Stallard Description: We were created for belonging. From Genesis to Jesus (and beyond!), the Bible shows us time and again the ways that God has formed us for relationship- with God and with each other. In a time when we see increasing trends in autonomy and isolation, connection feels harder than ever. How do we unlock the joy of belonging? Paul just might have the key.

We hope this episode supports you in your inquiries into interconnectedness and the wisdom of understanding ourselves as part of a whole system, a wider web of relating.

Belonging to Life: The Journey of Awakening with Mary O'Malley acknowledged Leader in the Field of Awakening “Belonging to Life” offers an invitation into the rapture of being alive — the joy of belonging to a greater process and the deep healing of being present in our own lives. Mary O'Malley explores ways to cultivate this by sharing stories, ideas and techniques that invite us into this wondrous place that we knew when we were very young. For most of our existence we have lived in afterthoughts and projections, a dream laid over the magic, wonder and mystery of the living moment. What we truly desire is direct, intimate contact with life the moment that it appears out of Mystery, for this is the only place that is totally real, truly vibrant and completely alive. It holds all the love we dream of and is where we can again engage creatively with the awesome unfolding that is our lives. To know moments of opening out of fear and separateness into the fullness of life transforms our whole experience. We discover safety, joy, creativity, compassion for ourselves and others, and we rediscover the wholeness that we truly are and the greater process that we are part of. Mary O'Malley is an author, counselor, speaker and awakening mentor whose work awakens others to the joy of being fully alive.  Her inspired and transformative approach to working with the challenges of Life offers a way to replace fear, hopelessness and struggle with ease, well-being and joy. As a result of a traumatic childhood, Mary was lost in a labyrinth of self-hatred, confusion, compulsions and despair, when one spring morning she walked into a yoga seminar. As soon as the teacher began to speak, Mary became intensely alert and deeply fascinated. As she listened to what he had to say, it felt like her life had been lived inside of a B grade, black and white horror movie, and all of a sudden it became a full color, four-star movie. She felt vibrant and alive, curious rather than reactive, compassionate rather than judgmental, and trusting rather than fearing. Although she returned to ordinary consciousness when she left the room, this awakening continued to work in the depths of Mary's being, setting her on the path to changing her whole relationship with Life.  She was freed from a lifelong addiction to struggle and opened into the joy and the wonder of being fully awake to Life.  Since then, she has dedicated her life to helping others heal themselves by seeing and releasing what blocks them from Life's joy.  Through her individual counseling, books, classes, retreats, ongoing groups and radio show, Mary invites people to discover the joy and the safety of being truly here for Life. https://maryomalley.com/ She is acknowledged as a leader in the field of Awakening by many, including Neale Donald Walsch, Jeff Foster, Tara Brach, Jack Kornfield, Stephen Levine, and Christiana Northrup. Eckhart Tolle says, “Thank you, Mary, for your contribution to the evolution of human consciousness.”  Mary clearly sees both the big picture and the details of human patterns and conditioning.  Not only possessing an extraordinary ability to understand and connect with people, she also is skilled in empowering them around the challenges of Life in a way that results in greater inner awareness and a fuller capacity for joy.  She is deeply committed to helping people heal their inner wars, so that they can become a part of the healing of our planet.

Latino USA continues to mark its 30th anniversary and look back on its reporting throughout the decades. One topic the show has heavily reported on is Latinos serving in the military and today we take a new look at that subject. In this episode, producer Reynaldo Leaños Jr. travels to Laredo, Texas on the U.S.-Mexico border. He brings us the story of Lance Corporal David Lee Espinoza, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2021 during the U.S. withdrawal from the country. Reynaldo meets with those closest to David to help tell the story of who David was, as well as explore how the military has historically —and continues— to seek Latinos and Latinas to fill its ranks.

In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, I interview Roslyn Taylor O'Neill, a highly regarded diversity and inclusion thought leader. Roslyn shares her experiences as the former Chief Diversity Officer at Campbell's Soup Company and Executive VP of Diversity Initiatives for MTV Network. She has received numerous accolades and awards for her work, including being named one of the top 100 most influential Blacks in corporate America and one of the top executives in diversity, and one of most influential LGBTQ people that year. With 47 years of experience, and never backing down, no matter who challenged her, Rosalyn has a lot to say and share. You want to hear this conversation on race. In this episode of Everyday Conversations on Race, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion pioneer Rosalyn Taylor O'Neale emphasizes the importance of learning how to discuss race and navigate through discomfort in order to address racial disparities in every area.   Rosalyn acknowledges that talking about race can be uncomfortable and may cause anxiety, as people may fear making mistakes or offending others, but they are necessary in order to learn and grow. One example is the significance of discussing race with healthcare professionals. Rosalyn explains that if a doctor is not comfortable talking about race, it can create issues for patients, particularly those from racial minority groups. She mentions that rashes may appear differently on the skin of different races. Therefore, it is crucial for doctors to be aware of these differences and for patients to be able to communicate their specific needs and concerns related to race.   Rosalyn highlights the importance of discussing race in society as a whole if we want to survive. She says that in her town, seeing a Black person is still a rarity, indicating the lack of racial diversity. This lack of exposure and understanding can perpetuate stereotypes and biases. By engaging in conversations about race, individuals can challenge these stereotypes and learn from one another's experiences.   She emphasizes that it is not enough to simply listen and sympathize with someone's experiences. You must take action and support them in practical ways if you are anti-racist. Merely expressing sympathy or feeling bad for someone does not bring about any real change or alleviate their situation.   Rosalyn shares personal examples. She often felt left out in her mostly all white school, and when she was having a hard time solving a problem, no one would offer to help. However, they always helped each other and acted like they didn't see her.   If you want to be an ally in action and not just words, then ask someone  directly what they need and take steps to fulfill those needs.   Simma, mentioned a friend who noticed an older Asian woman in their building who rarely went out due to fear of attacks during the pandemic. Instead of just expressing concern, the friend offered to accompany her to the grocery store, providing practical support and reassurance.   There is power in collective action. Walking together with someone can make them feel safer and more empowered. By offering to accompany someone who feels unsafe, we can show solidarity and create a stronger sense of support. It is not enough to simply acknowledge someone's experiences; we must actively work to mitigate the situation and make them feel supported.     Time stamps: [00:02:41] Fearlessness and Belonging.

Join us as we follow Willie on his journey to find his voice and discover that speaking up for what you love can inspire others.  It's a story that proves even the most timid voices can have a big impact!Bible Text:After that Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh. They said, “God, the God of Israel, says, ‘Free my people so that they can hold a festival for me in the wilderness.'” Pharaoh said, “And who is God that I should listen to him and send Israel off? I know nothing of this so-called ‘God' and I'm certainly not going to send Israel off.” They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness so we can worship our God lest he strike us with either disease or death.” But the king of Egypt said, “Why on earth, Moses and Aaron, would you suggest the people be given a holiday? Back to work!” Pharaoh went on, “Look, I've got all these people freeloading, and now you want to reward them with time off?”Exodus 5 (MSG)If you're interested in any other books published by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, please visit adventistbookcenter.com or call 1-800-765-6955.Visit our website: www.kathyskidsstorytime.org We'd love to hear from you.

The most frustrating part of public education is people stop you from fear and being uncomfortable.  “In public education, this is one of the most frustrating parts. People stop you from fear and being uncomfortable. And I'm not gonna sit here and talk about the idea of people being uncomfortable with any kind of change, because everybody knows that. But it comes down to people wanting to know where they fit into that change.  They can become much more comfortable when they realize that it's not disrupting them so much that they're gonna have to just adjust slightly. And it's a smaller ask. And before they know it, they're pulled into it.” -Dr Chris Jones  Get the episode transcript here!
