“How to hear God's voice in troubled times“ Pete Greig, Premier Christianity magazine, April 2022 “Each one of us has been born with an extra ordinary superpower: an innate ability to hear the voice of God.” 49  “…it's amazing that God who speaks in such powerful ways would listen to us, but generally he doesn't seem to speak in an audible voice. What does it mean?” 49 Jesus assumes that we will be able to hear him, John 10:27. “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.”” John 10:27-30 “Learning to listen is one of the disciplines of the Christian life. It may be an innate ability, but that doesn't mean it doesn't need to be developed. Part of that is protecting ourselves from the things that get in the way of our ability to listen.” 51 Barriers include: Unworthiness. Not feeling spiritual enough to be heard. Therefore we don't try.  Theological. Some Christian traditions mistakenly give us the impression that the Bible does not allow for us to expect to hear from God. Experiential. If we have certain expectations of how we might experience the guidance of God, and our experiences don't fit into that, we may not notice when God is seeking to us. We must listening with an open mind as well as open “ears“. Busyness. When we allow too much noise and clutter into our lives we find it hard to hear the gentle voice of God Talking too much. God is a patient listener, but we need the discipline to listen.  Five ways to hear God The Bible Prayer Community Creation Most of the literature written about listening to God has been written by introverts who are only 35% of the population, and that they “understandably advocate their own preference for quietness, stillness and solitude.“ And this might cause extroverts to think that they're not very good at or don't need to listen to God because they don't fit in with the introverts' experiences. We can all listen and hear. What can you do to develop your listening capacity? Please add your comments on this week's topic.

She shares how you can identify the season that you are in your life so that you can get rid of the busyness.Because I'll be honest with you, there are many times that I go through different seasons in life and think, Oh, if I just push a little harder, or if I just keep going and just grind it out,  everything will eventually work itself out. And all I do is set myself up for burnout, exhaustion, and just setting myself up to be really crabby and not a nice person to be around.Once you're able to understand what season you're in, you'll be able to adjust and shift. And you'll notice that things will flow a lot easier in your life.So if you are like me are feeling like you just got a lot going on. And you're still just trying to like push through. Make sure that you listened to this episode with Alicia. We talk about what season we're in, as well as how we can begin to shift things when we identify the season that we're in.

When we start to feel worthwhile because of our busyness, we start to believe that if I'm not busy- I'm not worthwhile. However, busyness doesn't create worthiness. Ever. And in that quest, we create more overwhelm and frustration. What is worthiness then? And how do answer the question of "am I worthy?".  Listen in to hear how.

Busyness, productivity, and efficiency are words connected to speed. They can be helpful from time to time, but they should not set the standard for our daily lives. When busyness, productivity, and efficiency run your life, they run you down. It's called burnout. Break down.

Today, I want to focus on the paradigm of superhuman compulsion. This socially esteemed and normalized way of operating that often requires us to neglect our need for rest, sleep, connection, play and self-care in order to sustain our self-image of being competent, valuable, and responsible.These pressures whisk us away on a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows — one day we feel accomplished, successful, and worthy, and a day later, we collapse into depression, unworthiness and feelings of self-doubt and failure. Episode Notes:Anne-Marie MarronArticle: The Superhuman Compulsion by Anne-Marie Marron, click here. If you have a power reclamation story to share or questions, please send them to Ask Anne-Marie.If you want to learn more about my work you can visit my websites:Power reclamation guide and somatic healing: www.anne-mariemarron.comLeadership coach and organizational-culture consultant: www.revealingwisdom.comFind Anne-Marie on InstagramIf you wonder whether Power Reclamation Coaching is for you, book a discovery call here

Banks Benitez joined Uncharted in 2012 as an unpaid intern, and became the CEO in 2017. Since stepping in as CEO, Banks and his leadership have tripled the size of the team and doubled their revenue. Also during the pandemic, Banks moved to a four-day workweek at the same wages. In this episode, Banks shares his insight on the move to a four-day week, and the lessons learned about time management, mental health, and productivity. As a CEO, Banks went  from 52 hours a week to 34 hours a week!   Key Takeaways [1:50] Advice Jim and Jan give to veterans is, “If you hear about really interesting people, just reach out to them.” [2:20] Banks has not only grown his organization to triple its size but shifted to a four-day workweek. [5:20] Banks is currently reading Making Numbers Count, by Chip Heath. [6:20] Banks shares his story on how he got selected for Rotary International. [9:35] Jan believes understanding anthropology will also help you towards being a better leader. [11:00] Banks talks a little bit about his company, Uncharted, and the inspiration behind it. [12:15] It's so easy to be a fixer of problems. As a leader, Banks found himself spending all of his time making things “less bad.” [13:35] Banks and his COO decided to change things up after feeling burned out within the company. They decided to go on the offensive instead of being on the defensive. [17:55] Banks is a few months into his company working on a four-day workweek. He shares his results so far. [20:35] Banks was nervous at first when he had to talk to his investors and clients about this. He was worried they would not see him as a serious company. [23:15] Banks has noticed that his team really hates a three-day week. [24:55] Prior to converting over to a four-day workweek, Banks decided to hire a third party to help evaluate the productivity and measure if it made sense to convert over. [28:34] The book Essentialism, by Greg McKeown was critical in determining what was important work and what was not. [29:55] Jim and Jan hear topics about mental health all the time with their clients. It's important. People are getting burned out. [30:30] You can easily quantify turnover costs and when people burn out, and how much it takes to replace that talent. A four-day workweek makes you competitive. [35:50] Banks explains how Uncharted works and how they've been a successful non-profit company. [37:40] Entrepreneurs who are successful tend to be coachable and follow up/follow through. [39:45] Sell the problem, not the solution. [43:55] Busyness and working “hard” is a cultural value that needs to be questioned. [44:35] When Banks closes his laptop on Thursday night, he still feels incomplete. There's still a lot to get done. [45:35] The more you focus on brute force hard work, the less you are refining your “decisive” muscle. [48:40] Listener challenge: Plant yourself in the richest soil you possibly can.   Quotable Quotes “It's so easy to be a fixer of problems. It's easier to fill holes, but it's harder to build peaks.” “We spent the whole month of May in 2020 to how we might optimize our work week; the ways we could get smarter about how we structure our time.” “Not all hours of the workweek are created equally. They are some hours that are productive. There are some hours that are a complete waste of time.” “My day before, I was working 52 hours a week. Now I am down to 34 hours a week.” “The best entrepreneurs that we work with are those who are really good at handling a lot of loose ties.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Uncharted.org Banks on LinkedIn Banks on Twitter Outsideonline.com Heathbrothers.com Rotary.org Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, by Yuval Noah Harari Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, by Greg Mckeown  

The word “busy” has a heaviness and social definition to it that we used to wear as a badge of honor. Now, however, we are a little more clued into the fact that being busy isn't necessarily a sustainable or good thing. For many people, it is simply a matter of feeling out of control when it comes to how they are spending their time. So, today I will be sharing how I regain control of the “controllables” in my life.

Hi Trish, I had found your podcast via "keep the faith" about 4 years ago. I do believe God led me to you. Growing up I had a wonderful loving family (still do) however I always felt sad. IT made me feel even worse because I didn't have anything to make me feel that way. I 've always had felt left out and struggled with friend issues that made me feel like something is wrong with me. I have been hooked on your podcast and I tell everyone about you because I have feel myself improving!!! Slowly but surely. I not longer thank I'm the only one. And boy, is that a relief! You have BLESSED me for these past 2 years and all for FREE!!!!! I feel the LOVE and "back at cha baby!" So glad I joined the college for the next chapter of Happiness! Love, Deanna   Everyone's life is messy. Your circumstances aren't what make you happy - your thoughts are.   HAPPINESS ISN'T AN ACCIDENT   It's not just for the lucky. It's for the intentional. It's available to everyone. Decide to be happy.Study happy people.Know your happy habits.Practice the art of active appreciation.Ground yourself in gratitude. NBC news poll recently found that only 14% of Americans reports to be very happy. That's down from 31% who said the same in 2018. 45% of Americans reported feeling isolated or lonely.    Two thirds of adults globally  (64%) report being happy: 14% very much so and 50% rather so. Countries with the highest proportion of adults considering themselves as very happy are Canada (29%), Australia, Saudi Arabia and India (28% each), Great Britain and the United States (27% each). (Global Happiness Study 2019)    WHY AREN'T YOU HAPPY?    Most likely because you're looking to your circumstances to make you happy. It's your thoughts that creates happiness, not what happens in your life.  Too focused on the wrong things  -fear -what could go wrong -"being realistic" -avoiding emotions -what other people might think -achievement for fulfillment We're distracted by our own business We stay too busy to be happy.    UNHAPPINESS CONTRIBUTORS   Comparison to others.Lack of gratitudeStuck in comfort zoneYou don't move your bodyYou are always in your past or your futureFlawed beliefs (thinking it's supposed to be easier, or that negative emotions shouldn't exist)Busyness (too busy to think, reflect, notice, self-care, live well)  95% of our 60-80,000 thoughts per day are repeated thoughts.    THE ART OF HAPPINESS   HAPPINESS HABITS Activate appreciation Reframing thoughts Mental maintenance  Physical activity Time to be Other Contributors to Happiness Adventure Falling is learning Openness  Curiosity Happiness doesn't mean that it's a state of permanence. It's an emotion, that ebbs and flows, and when you feel it, you ride it. When is recoils, you know another wave is coming - nothing has gone wrong. "there is taken care of" Intentional and active appreciation What about others who drag you down? "must stink to be in their brain…" "there thoughts are their choices, I'm grateful I know how to not stay in a funk   

Has clutter taken over your mind? Do negative thoughts and busyness overwhelm your thoughts, threatening to drown your with internal noise? Today's guest, Billie Jauss, addresses how we can de-clutter our minds. Billie Jauss s a well-known speaker and author. Her podcast “Start Small BELIEVE BIG” is nearing its 300th episode, and is focused on encouraging listeners to value the significance of small beginnings, finding confidence and peace in the big God who knows, sees, and loves us deeply.  She and her husband are heavily involved in Compassion International's Survival Program in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic and also see Major League Baseball as their mission field, as Dave Jauss, her husband, has been a coach for more than 25 years. Their 3 sons all work professionally in baseball as well. Billie starts with contrasting the external distractions of busyness with the inner noise of shame and insecurity. She notes that bullying ourselves will limit us from fulfilling the purpose for which God created us. After receiving requests to speak more often about internal distractions, Jauss surveyed her audience and discovered the prevalence of loneliness and insecurity. Billie advises listeners to pause, identify toxic thoughts, and replace negative mindsets with truth from scripture. Billie referenced steps from her book, Distraction Detox, to move from overwhelm to peace. We chat about trusting God to do the bulk of the work to renew our minds and reach others. We simply need to show up and walk alongside the Redeemer. Jauss emphasizes the need to develop practices to repeat as negative thoughts recur. With healthy habits, we can respond to internal noise more readily. Billie encourages listeners to write out every negative thought, examine the nature of the thought, and replace each one with truth from scripture. She also recommends journaling how God has shown up in your life. Jauss invites listeners to find positive scriptures by prayerfully searching the Bible or using apps online. She also recommends writing healing verses on sticky notes to post within view.  Billie references Galatians 5 as a model for living in freedom from slavery to self-limiting thoughts. She warns the enemy wants to shut us down so we don't serve God. The Lord rejoices in our small steps. Billie encourages listeners to identify and overcome their "yeah, but..." excuses for not living in freedom.

Retreat to Kenrick seminarians, by Fr Dylan James. Wednesday Week 1, Ordinary Time. January 2022

Sign-up for my free 20 day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve….[The next day, upon] reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. (Mark 11:11,15)The life of Jesus and his disciples was busy (see Mark 3:20-21 and John 11:5-9). But as my friend John Mark Comer has pointed out, “[Jesus] never came off hurried.” Pastor Kevin DeYoung put it this way: “[Jesus] was busy, but never in a way that made him frantic, anxious, irritable, proud, envious, or distracted by lesser things.” So, what's the difference between busyness and hurry? Busyness is having a lot of meetings on your calendar. Hurry is scheduling those meetings back-to-back forcing you to sprint from one to the next without enough time to think. Busyness is having a lot of errands to run. Hurry is getting mad about choosing the “wrong line” at the grocery store because you have no margin for the thirty seconds you lost by choosing lane 3 instead of 4. Busyness is attending three Bible studies a week. Hurry is not having enough time and stillness to listen to God's voice in between those studies.How can we be busy without being hurried? We must get good at “counting the cost” of our time.Jesus provides an excellent case study of this in today's passage. Mark 11:15 tells us that Jesus's plan all along was to overturn some tables and drive out the vendors who were turning the temple into a “den of robbers” (Mark 11:17). So why not do this the night before? Why wait?Of course, we can't answer those questions definitively, but given Jesus's track record as a busy but unhurried guy, here's my guess: I think Jesus had counted the cost of his time. Look at Mark 11:11: Jesus “went into the temple courts…looked around at everything, but since it was already late” decided not to cram any more activity into what had already been a busy day. You can almost hear him muttering to himself “It can wait.” Could Jesus have squeezed in a little table-flipping before he retired for the night? Sure, but he chose not to. He had counted the cost and knew that adding anything else to his already busy day would have tipped the scales from busy to hurry.Jesus's example brings us to the seventh and final principle we need to redeem our time: Principle #7ELIMINATE ALL HURRYTo redeem our time in the model of our Redeemer, we must embrace productive busyness while ruthlessly eliminating hurry from our lives.How can we eliminate hurry today? In my book, Redeeming Your Time, I share three practical answers to that question, including six questions to ask to help you say “no” more frequently. Want a glimpse at those six questions?

Is that actually dust and cobwebs on my microphone? I can't believe it has been well over a year since the last episode. Why Did The Modern Homesteading Podcast Stop? Covid I was still doing the podcast a few months into all the changes covid was bringing to the world in 2020 but as time went on it started to have a huge impact on my life as well. Work My job went into a shut down for several weeks but this wasn't the thing that had the biggest impact on the podcast. When I got back to work, however, things got a little crazy as we scrambled to make up for lost time. I started working very long days and extra days a week for months which left very little time for anything else. Wedding On top of the heavy work schedule we also found ourselves planning for my youngest daughters wedding in 2020. If anyone has ever married off a daughter you know the stress and preparation that can go into that. Ever see the movie "Father of the Bride" with Steve Martin? I can relate to it. Grandkids We found ourselves spending a lot of time with the grandkids as any grandparents would want to. Camping We bought a used camper parked in a seasonal lot in a nice local campground to have a little get away on a few weekends a year. It's a place where we can take the grandkids fishing and just sit around a campfire with friends to relax from time to time. Funeral In the last year I have lost my brother and my grandmother. Losing my brother was tough for a couple months and I was in charge of handling his memorial service. The hardest message I ever had to deliver. The Busyness of Life! All in All it was just a busy few months and it pulled me away from the podcast and even my homesteading pursuits for a while. The Homestead Continues To Slowly Transform The Food Forest I continued to very slowly work on the food forest I started the year before but didn't make a ton of progress. Started to build a few guilds around some of the trees planted there. Winter Aquaponics and Microgreens I did grow an abundance of food in my kitchen and office through the 2020/2021 winter by growing several trays of microgreens a week and even setting up an indoor aquaponics system which produced very well. A Long Road Ahead But It Will Be Worth It No doubt there were a few setbacks on my homesteading journey last year but we are pressing forward and made a few changes that are setting us in a direction we want to go. A New Website, a New Podcast and a Slightly New Direction Introducing Redemption Permaculture and the Redemption Permaculture Podcast Many of you may have noticed I made a change in websites. I shut down SmallTownHomestead.com and built a brand new website, RedemptionPermaculture.com This signifies the direction I'm taking my homestead and the focus of my journey. Permaculture has made the biggest impact in the way I homestead and I want that to be reflected in the branding of the website. But wait there's more! I Started the new website at the beginning of 2021 and have been busy writing over 100 information packed articles but a couple months ago I launched a brand new podcast that I haven't talked much about until now because I wanted to get a few episodes uploaded first. Introducing the Redemption Permaculture Podcast What I Will Be Talking About On Future Episodes of The New Podcast Modern Homesteading Through The Lens of Permaculture It will be a lot of the same but always with a permaculture twist.
