Joshua 7:1 But Israel was unfaithful concerning the things set apart for the Lord. A man named Achan had stolen some of these things, so the Lord was very angry with the Israelites. Achan was the son of Carmi, of the family of Zimri, of the clan of Zerah, and of the tribe of Judah.

José Mejuto Bernárdez fue un obrero gallego nacido en 1906 y fusilado por el franquismo en 1937. Su nieta Ana, argentina, quiso conocer la historia de su abuelo y publicó “Cartas de un condenado a muerte”. El libro tiene el prólogo de Eduardo Galeano, que explica mejor que yo la historia de José: “Ana quería conocer al abuelo que no conoció. Él estaba, está, en las cartas que había escrito desde la cárcel. Este obrero gallego fue detenido porque sí, fue encarcelado por las dudas y por las dudas fue fusilado y enterrado sin nombre y con número". Acá va una de esas cartas, un texto precioso lleno de la dignidad de un espíritu sereno que muere con la conciencia tranquila porque no le hizo mal a nadie. Lee el actor Gabriel Fernández.***En la Celda N° 2 de la Cárcel de Pontevedra, a 19 de Mayo de 1937. A mi queridísima esposa y compañera.Mi amada Alejandra: me pongo a escribirte estas últimas letras después de la visita que me has hecho hace un momento. Aún suenan en mis oídos aquellas dulces palabras entrecortadas por la emoción, cuando me decías llena de fe: “tú no puedes morir porque eres inocente” ¡Oh! ¡Alejandra de mi vida! ¡Qué feliz me hacías con aquellas palabras! Yo bien sabía que estaba condenado a morir inocente como uno de tantos otros mártires y que todas cuantas gestiones hicieses resultarían inútiles. Pero no obstante te daba alientos para que vivieses con la esperanza de salvarme la vida, a fin de que sufrieses menos durante el tiempo que durara este preámbulo de la muerte. Y así sufría yo menos no viéndote sufrir a ti. Ahora te pido que no me llores más, ya me has llorado bastante. Muero con la conciencia tranquila que no le he hecho mal a nadie y que no me he manchado jamás las manos en sangre. Ten fe en el porvenir y sabe esperar y verás cómo llegará un día en que mi sangre derramada inocentemente, como la de millares de españoles, servirá para hacer justicia sobre esos cobardes asesinos. Cuando ese momento llegue, esos asesinos no morirán como muero yo, con el espíritu sereno y tranquilo porque tengo la conciencia limpia, sino que morirán con el miedo de los cobardes. Y ante sus ojos despavoridos les parecerá ver el espectro de las víctimas por ellos inmoladas. Y en sus oídos les parecerá también oír la voz de sus víctimas, que les dirán “vuestra hora ha llegado, morid pues cobardes”. Y llegará un día que hasta sus hijos los maldecirán. No así los nuestros, que bendecirán enormemente la memoria de sus padres. Ánimo, pues. Tienes un corazón muy grande y generoso. Tu conciencia es pura y limpia, y confío que tendrás valor para hacer frente a la vida. No te separes nunca de mamá y de Carmiña. En todos los momentos aconséjate con mamá como hasta aquí, pues ella es buena y santa y te aconsejará siempre bien. Protege a Carmiña como si fueses yo, ocupando tú mi puesto de hermano y de padre. Ella es buena, porque es mi hermana. Y te quiere mucho, porque has sido para ella, más que una hermana una madre. Vela por su porvenir y aconséjala en todo momento. Con tu bondad sabrás perdonarla y reprenderla a la vez en esas faltitas que todos cometemos en la vida. Y así muy juntitas todas, honrareis mi memoria. A mis cuatro hijos, a nuestros cuatro hijos, les dejo una carta. Puedes abrirla y leerla, y cuando sean mayores, se las lees muchas veces y las guardas. ¡Oh! Hijos míos, sois pequeñitos y no os dais cuenta de las amarguras por que pasa vuestro padre. Este padre que tanto os quiere. Alejandra: para que mi recuerdo viva siempre en ellos, relátales a menudo cómo jugaba con ellos, cómo les cantaba cogidos en mis brazos. En fin, todos los pormenores de mi vida para con todos y para con ellos. Y así, cuando lleguen a mayores, podrán saber cuánto les quiso este padre que siempre ha inspirado sus actos en el bien con todo el mundo. ¡Adiós, Alejandriña de mi vida! ¡Adiós amor de mi vida! No me llores más. Nuestro amor ha sido grande y vivirá eternamente. Soy tu esposo y compañeroJosé Mejuto

1But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.2Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men went up and spied out Ai. 3And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not have all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not make the whole people toil up there, for they are few.” 4So about three thousand men went up there from the people. And they fled before the men of Ai, 5and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men and chased them before the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became as water.6Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they put dust on their heads. 7And Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord God, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan! 8O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies! 9For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it and will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will you do for your great name?”The Sin of Achan10The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you. 13Get up! Consecrate the people and say, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.” 14In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. And the tribe that the Lord takes by lot shall come near by clans. And the clan that the Lord takes shall come near by households. And the household that the Lord takes shall come near man by man. 15And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done an outrageous thing in Israel.'”16So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17And he brought near the clans of Judah, and the clan of the Zerahites was taken. And he brought near the clan of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken. 18And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel and give praise to him. And tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” 20And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did: 21when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath.

And Moses spoke thus unto the sons of Israel; and they heard not Moses for distress of spirit, and for hard service. And Jehovah spoke unto Moses, saying, Come, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and let him send the sons of Israel out of his land. And Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, Behold the sons of Israel have not heard me; and how shall Pharaoh hear me, and I am uncircumcised in lips? And Jehovah spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a command unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to lead forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt. These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman; these are the families of Simeon. And these are the names of the sons of Leviticus according to their births; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Leviticus were a hundred and thirty and seven years. The sons of Gershon; Libni and Shimei, according to their families. And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred and thirty and three years. And the sons of Merari; Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of Leviticus according to their births. And Amram took Jochebed his father's sister for a woman; and she bare him Aaron and Moses; and the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty and seven years. And the sons of Izhar; Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri. And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri. And Aaron took him Elisheba, the daughter of Aminadab, the sister of Nahshon, for a woman; and she bare him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. And the sons of Korah; Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites. And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel for a woman; and she bare him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. This is the Aaron and Moses to whom Jehovah said, Lead forth the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to lead forth the sons of Israel from Egypt. This is the Moses and Aaron. And it was in the day that Jehovah spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt, And Jehovah spoke unto Moses, saying, I am Jehovah; speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee. And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold I am uncircumcised in lips, and how shall Pharaoh hear me? Exodus 6:9-30 Stammering Arcana Coelestia 7225. [2] From these passages it is evident that “to be uncircumcised” denotes to be impure; and as everything impure is from impure loves, which are the love of the world and the love of self, therefore by “uncircumcised” is signified that which impedes the influx of good and truth. Where these loves are, the inflowing good and truth are extinguished, for they are contraries, like heaven and hell. Hence by the “uncircumcised ear” is signified disobedience, and by the “uncircumcised heart” the rejection of good and truth, which is especially the case when these loves have fortified themselves with falsity as with a wall. [3] That Moses, because he stammered, calls himself “uncircumcised in lips,” is for the sake of the internal sense, that thereby might be signified that they who are in falsities, who are represented by Pharaoh, would not hearken to the things that would be said to them from the law Divine, because they who are in falsities call the truths which are of the law Divine, falsities; and the falsities which are contrary to the truths of the law Divine they call truths, for they are wholly in the opposite. Hence by them the truths of doctrine are not perceived otherwise than as impure; even heavenly loves appear to them impure. Moreover,

Ilaria Bonacossa"Lisetta Carmi. Molto vicino, incredibilmente lontano"Mostra al Palazzo Ducale di Genovawww.palazzoducale.genova.itwww.civita.artLa mostra Lisetta Carmi. Molto vicino, incredibilmente lontano è stata annunciata per il prossimo autunno a Palazzo Ducale. Un viaggio che parte da Genova e dall'Italia per raccontare con il suo sguardo acuto e lucido realtà lontane e mondi in trasformazione, con inedite immagini a colori capaci di trasformare la lettura delle sue fotografie più famose in bianco e nero.Genova emerge nelle sue sfaccettature inaspettate, città in cui Lisetta Carmi per i vent'anni della sua carriera fotografica ha sempre stampato e sviluppato le sue immagini raccontando da questo luogo la sua visione del mondo e delle persone che sceglieva di ritrarre, come le famose fotografie del porto, a cui si affiancheranno immagini inedite dell'anagrafe e della vita politica e sociale della città.In mostra presso Palazzo Ducale anche le immagini della serie dei travestiti degli anni '60, pubblicate nel 1972 suscitando scalpore e segnando le ricerche fotografiche di molti artisti internazionali, non solo in bianco e nero ma anche a colori e la serie inedita erotismo e autoritarismo a Staglieno in cui il famoso cimitero genovese si trasforma sotto l'obbiettivo della fotografa in un ritratto della società borghese ottocentesca e dell'erotismo associato ai monumenti funebri.Genova sceglie di omaggiare questa figura dirompente di fotografa e artista centrale nella storia della fotografia del dopoguerra la cui carriera si è sviluppata per vent'anni nella sua città natale.Lisetta Carmi, molto vicino incredibilmente lontano è curata da Giovanni Battista Martini, esperto di fotografia contemporanea e curatore dell'archivio Lisetta Carmi che ha scritto e concepito numerose mostre dell'artista negli ultimi anni ed Ilaria Bonacossa, curatrice d'arte contemporanea e direttrice di Palazzo Ducale Genova, ed è promossa e organizzata da Palazzo Ducale Fondazione per la Cultura Genova e Civita Mostre e Musei.Lisetta Carmi nasce a Genova il 15 febbraio 1924, in un'agiata famiglia borghese. A causa delle leggi razziali è costretta nel 1938 ad abbandonare la scuola e a rifugiarsi con la famigliain Svizzera. Nel 1945, al termine della guerra, torna in Italia e si diploma al conservatorio di Milano. Negli anni seguenti tiene una serie di concerti in Germania, Svizzera, Italia e Israele. Nel 1960 interrompe la carriera concertistica e si avvicina in modo casuale alla fotografia trasformandola in una vera e propria professione. Per tre anni lavora come fotografa al Teatro Duse di Genova. Accetta diversi incarichi dal Comune di Genova realizzando una serie di reportage in cui descrive le diverse realtà e problematiche sociali della città come, ad esempio, gli ospedali, l'anagrafe, il centro storico e le fogne cittadine.Dopo aver realizzato nel 1964 un'ampia indagine nel porto di Genova, diventata poi una mostra itinerante, continua un reportage sulla Sardegna iniziato nel 1962 e che terminerà negli anni Settanta. Successivamente si reca a Parigi e da questo soggiorno nasce il volume Métropolitain, libro d'artista contenente una serie di scatti realizzati nella metropolitana parigina. Nel 1965 prende corpo il suo progetto più noto, che nel 1972 diventerà un libro, dedicato ai travestiti genovesi. Nel 1969 viaggia per tre mesi in America Latina e l'anno successivo in Afghanistan e Nepal. Nel 1971 compra un trullo in Puglia, a Cisternino. Il 12 marzo 1976 conosce a Jaipur, in India, Babaji Herakhan Baba, il Mahavatar dell'Himalaya, incontro che trasformerà radicalmente la sua vita. Lo stesso anno è in Sicilia per incarico della Dalmine per il volume Acque di Sicilia, dove sono raccolte immagini del paesaggio e della realtà sociale della regione, accompagnate da un testo di Leonardo Sciascia. Negli anni realizza una serie di ritratti di artisti e personalità del mondo della cultura del tempo tra cui Judith Malina, Joris Ivens, Charles Aznavour, Edoardo Sanguineti, Leonardo Sciascia, Lucio Fontana, César, Carmelo Bene, Luigi Nono, Luigi Dallapiccola, Claudio Abbado, Jacques Lacan e Ezra Pound, di cui si ricordano i celebri scatti realizzati nel 1966 presso l'abitazione del poeta sulle alture di Zoagli in Liguria.Negli anni successivi Lisetta Carmi si dedicherà completamente alla costruzione dell'ashram Bhole Baba, a Cisternino, e quindi alla diffusione degli insegnamenti del suo maestro. Nel 1995 incontra, dopo trentacinque anni, il suo ex allievo di pianoforte Paolo Ferrari e inizia con lui una collaborazione di studio filosofico-musicale.Lisetta Carmi muore, o come avrebbe detto lei, abbandona il suo corpo terreno, il 2 luglio 2022 a Cisternino.Lisetta non fotografa per raccontare, fotografa per capire, e la fotografia le serve come una chiave per aprire delle porte, per entrare dove nessuno poteva entrare.Catalogo della mostra pubblicato da Silvana Editorialewww.silvanaeditoriale.itIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Disastrous Encounters with God's HolinessJoshua 7:1“But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.”King James Version (KJV)Message From Emmanuel is a weekly audio ministry of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Irvine, KY.

Big Idea: Why family reunions are always weird. In the Beginning: Joseph Genesis 45:16-46:34 I. Every family has issues. 45:16-28 When the news reached Pharaoh's palace, “Joseph's brothers have come,” Pharaoh and his servants were pleased. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan. Get your father and your families, and come back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can eat from the richness of the land.' You are also commanded to tell them, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your dependents and your wives and bring your father here. Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.' ” The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey. He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes, but he gave Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothes. He sent his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best products of Egypt and ten female donkeys carrying grain, food, and provisions for his father on the journey. So Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Don't argue on the way.” So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. They said, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them. But when they told Jacob all that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. Then Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go to see him before I die.” II. There's no distance too far for family. 46:1-7 Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba, and he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. That night God spoke to Israel in a vision: “Jacob, Jacob!” he said. And Jacob replied, “Here I am.” God said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you back. Joseph will close your eyes when you die.” Jacob left Beer-sheba. The sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their dependents and their wives. They also took their cattle and possessions they had acquired in the land of Canaan. Then Jacob and all his offspring with him came to Egypt. His sons and grandsons, his daughters and granddaughters, indeed all his offspring, he brought with him to Egypt. III. You can't pick your family name. 8-27 These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt—Jacob and his sons: Jacob's firstborn: Reuben. Reuben's sons: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. Simeon's sons: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. Levi's sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Judah's sons: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. Issachar's sons: Tola, Puvah, Jashub, and Shimron. Zebulun's sons: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. These were Leah's sons born to Jacob in Paddan-aram, as well as his daughter Dinah. The total number of persons: thirty-three. Gad's sons: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. Asher's sons: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, and their sister Serah. Beriah's sons were Heber and Malchiel. These were the sons of Zilpah—whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah—that she bore to Jacob: sixteen persons. The sons of Jacob's wife Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph in the land of Egypt. They were born to him by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, a priest at On. Benjamin's sons: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. These were Rachel's sons who were born to Jacob: fourteen persons. Dan's son: Hushim. Naphtali's sons: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Rachel. She bore to Jacob: seven persons. The total number of persons belonging to Jacob—his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob's sons—who came to Egypt: sixty-six. And Joseph's sons who were born to him in Egypt: two persons. All those of Jacob's household who came to Egypt: seventy persons. IV. Only one family that lasts forever. 28-34 Now Jacob had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to prepare for his arrival at Goshen. When they came to the land of Goshen, Joseph hitched the horses to his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel. Joseph presented himself to him, threw his arms around him, and wept for a long time. Then Israel said to Joseph, “I'm ready to die now because I have seen your face and you are still alive!” Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's family, “I will go up and inform Pharaoh, telling him, ‘My brothers and my father's family, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. The men are shepherds; they also raise livestock. They have brought their flocks and herds and all that they have.' When Pharaoh addresses you and asks, ‘What is your occupation?' you are to say, ‘Your servants, both we and our ancestors, have raised livestock from our youth until now.' Then you will be allowed to settle in the land of Goshen, since all shepherds are detestable to Egyptians.” Next Steps:  Believe: I need to be adopted into God's family today.  Become: I will become part of a group this week.  Be Sent: I will invite someone into my life this week. Group Discussion Questions:  When was your last family reunion?  What did the shirts look like? Is your family reunion worth traveling to?  Explain your answer. How do you handle family conflicts during family reunions?  How do you stay positive when dealing with difficult family members How can you pass on family values at a reunion? Explain. Is it easy to involve multiple generations at a reunion?? Pray for Jesus to show you someone who he wants in his family this week. 

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Joshua 7 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few. So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name? And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? ...

6 But the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.” 2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty,[a] but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them. 4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. 5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. I am the Lord.'” 9 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery. 10 So the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.” 12 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” 13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the clans of Reuben. 15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the clans of Simeon. 16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the years of the life of Levi being 137 years. 17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans. 18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years. 19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations. 20 Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years. 21 The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.22 The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23 Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and the sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 24 The sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites.25 Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites by their clans. 26 These are the Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.” 27 It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron. 28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 the Lord said to Moses, “I am the Lord; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” 30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Numbers 26 And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying, Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their father's house, all that are able to go to war in Israel. And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying, Take the sum of the people, from twenty years old and upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt. Reuben, the eldest son of Israel: the children of Reuben; Hanoch, of whom cometh the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites: Of Hezron, the family of the Hezronites: of Carmi, the family of the Carmites. These are the families of the Reubenites: and they that were numbered of them were forty and three thousand and seven hundred and thirty. And the sons of Pallu; Eliab. And the sons of Eliab; Nemuel, and Dathan, and Abiram. This is that Dathan and Abiram, which were famous in the congregation, who strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they strove against the LORD: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign. ...

Study Passage: Genesis 45:25-46:3025 So they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. 26 And they told him, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them. 27 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 And Israel said, “It is enough; Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.” 1 So Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac. 2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.” 3 Then he said, “I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make you into a great nation. 4 I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again, and Joseph's hand shall close your eyes.” 5 Then Jacob set out from Beersheba. The sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons that Pharaoh had sent to carry him. 6 They also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him, 7 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters. All his offspring he brought with him into Egypt. 8 Now these are the names of the descendants of Israel, who came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons. Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, 9 and the sons of Reuben: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. 11 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 12 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan); and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul. 13 The sons of Issachar: Tola, Puvah, Yob, and Shimron. 14 The sons of Zebulun: Sered, Elon, and Jahleel. 15 These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three. 16 The sons of Gad: Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli. 17 The sons of Asher: Imnah, Ishvah, Ishvi, Beriah, with Serah their sister. And the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel. 18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob—sixteen persons. 19 The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 20 And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, bore to him. 21 And the sons of Benjamin: Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard. 22 These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob—fourteen persons in all. 23 The son of Dan: Hushim. 24 The sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem. 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and these she bore to Jacob—seven persons in all. 26 All the persons belonging to Jacob who came into Egypt, who were his own descendants, not including Jacob's sons' wives, were sixty-six persons in all. 27 And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into Egypt were seventy. 28 He had sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to show the way before him in Goshen, and they came into the land of Goshen. 29 Then Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen. He presented himself to him and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while. 30 Israel said to Joseph, “Now let me die, since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.”

They Shall Know that I Am the Lord Exodus 6:14-7:7 June 2, 2024 Pastor Tony Felich  ----more---- Exodus 6:10 So the LORD said to Moses, [11] “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.” [12] But Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?” [13] But the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt. [14] These are the heads of their fathers 'houses: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the clans of Reuben. [15] The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the clans of Simeon. [16] These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the years of the life of Levi being 137 years. [17] The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans. [18] The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years. [19] The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations. [20] Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years. [21] The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. [22] The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. [23] Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and the sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. [24] The sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites. [25] Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers 'houses of the Levites by their clans. [26] These are the Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt by their hosts.” [27] It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron. [28] On the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, [29] the LORD said to Moses, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” [30] But Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?” Exodus 7:1 And the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. [2] You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the people of Israel go out of his land. [3] But I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, [4] Pharaoh will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and bring my hosts, my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great acts of judgment. [5] The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring out the people of Israel from among them.” [6] Moses and Aaron did so; they did just as the LORD commanded them. [7] Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh. 1 Corinthians 4:1 This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. [2] Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.          •  Responsible for obedience, not producing the results. (6:10-13)          •  Sovereignly rooted in history, for future mission and roles.  (6:14-30)          •  Ambassadors for the Glory of God (6:28-7:7)

Josue 8:1 “Jehová dijo a Josué: No temas ni desmayes; toma contigo toda la gente de guerra, y levántate y sube a Hai. Mira, yo he entregado en tu mano al rey de Hai, a su pueblo, a su ciudad y a su tierra”.La historia del pecado de Acán, nos ayuda a entender, que cualquier pecado u obra infructuosa de maldad e iniquidad que esté oculto en nuestra vida, hogar y familia produce muerte, destrucción, basura y escombro.Muchas veces en nuestra vida, hogar y familia hay tanta acumulación de basura y escombro que no han salido a la luz delante de Dios; es necesario que hoy todo lo que hay en el interior de nuestra vida, hogar y familia sean confesadas delante de Dios.Vamos un poco a la historia del pueblo de Israel cuando Josué entra a la tierra prometida y comienzan las batallas con todos los enemigos que se encuentran allí, el primero de ellos la destrucción de Jericó (Destrucción de fortalezas que se levantan contra tu vida, tu hogar y tu familia), Dios da la estrategia para destruir Jericó :Le entrega una promesa: Josué 6:2 "Mas Jehová dijo a Josué: Mira, yo he entregado en tu mano a Jericó y a su rey, con sus varones de guerra”.Le da una estrategia: Rodear la ciudad una vez durante 6 días, siete sacerdotes llevarán siete bocinas y al séptimo día tenían que dar siete vueltas a la ciudad y deberían tocar las bocinas, todo el pueblo tenia que gritar a gran voz, y el muro de la ciudad caerá. Josué 6:3-5 “Rodearéis, pues, la ciudad todos los hombres de guerra, yendo alrededor de la ciudad una vez; y esto haréis durante seis días.Y siete sacerdotes llevarán siete bocinas de cuernos de carnero delante del arca; y al séptimo día daréis siete vueltas a la ciudad, y los sacerdotes tocarán las bocinas. Y cuando toquen prolongadamente el cuerno de carnero, así que oigáis el sonido de la bocina, todo el pueblo gritará a gran voz, y el muro de la ciudad caerá; entonces subirá el pueblo, cada uno derecho hacia adelante”.Dios da una orden adicional: Todos tenían que guardarse del anatema, (Anatema: Ofrendas separadas para Dios, la cual se convierte en maldición cuando la tomamos para nosotros a sabiendas que pertenecen a Dios). En este caso todos los objetos preciosos de Jericó no se podían tocar, ni tomar, eran apartadas para Dios.Jericó fue la primera toma de Israel al entrar en la Tierra Prometida. Jericó era una poderosa ciudad muy bien amurallada, pero maldita; infestada de demonios, de brujería, de satanismo, de baales, de maldad, pero Dios la entregó en las manos de su pueblo Israel, Josué 2:24 “Y dijeron a Josué: Jehová ha entregado toda la tierra en nuestras manos; y también todos los moradores del país desmayan delante de nosotros”. La condición era que no debían quedarse con nada, ni siquiera tocar nada de aquella ciudad, ya que estaba llena de maldición. Solamente el oro y la plata y otros utensilios de metal, una vez consagrados a Dios, deberían entrar en el tesoro de Dios. Y aquí está el pecado oculto:. Josué 7:1. Desobediente, por cuanto hizo todo lo contrario de lo que ordenó Dios directamente.Rebelde, porque menospreció el mandato de Dios.Codicioso e idólatra, por cuanto por el afán de riquezas, las puso por encima del propio Dios.Cobarde y encubridor, por cuanto ocultó su pecado.Mentiroso.Homicida, por cuanto murieron muchos de su familia por causa de su pecado.Ladrón, por cuanto se quedó con plata y oro que debían de haber sido para el tesoro de Jehová.Anatema, Acán y su familia fue maldita, consecuencia de ello fue apedreado y quemado, el y toda su familia (Contaminó y destruyó a toda su familia). Acán cometió PECADO OCULTO. por lo tanto, para Dios todo un pueblo fue el que prevaricó: (Josué 7:1).… Y llegaron las consecuencias por causa de la prevaricación de Acán, y la consiguiente contaminación de Israel: Cuando intentaron conquistar a un pueblo pequeño llamado HAI, subieron como tres mil hombres los cuales huyeron delante de HAI, prácticamente fueron destruidos por algo o alguien pequeño; muchas veces somos destruidos por cosas pequeñas, la basura y el escombro (HAI significa basura y escombro) que están dentro de nuestra vida, hogar y familia, pequeñas zorras que contaminan y arrasan con todo: Nuestra parte física, emocional, sexual, económica y espiritual.Y entonces habló el Señor, y le dio la explicación de todo lo que había pasado:Josué 7:10-13 .Sólo se puede hacer frente al enemigo, cuando hay santidad en el campamento de Dios, y no hay anatema enterrado bajo él, ese anatema, es el pecado oculto, que guardamos y enterramos en el fondo de su corazón, como hizo Acán.En el libro de Josué 7:14-15 “Os acercaréis, pues, mañana por vuestras tribus; y la tribu que Jehová tomare, se acercará por sus familias; y la familia que Jehová tomare, se acercará por sus casas; y la casa que Jehová tomare, se acercará por los varones; y el que fuere sorprendido en el anatema, será quemado, él y todo lo que tiene, por cuanto ha quebrantado el pacto de Jehová, y ha cometido maldad en Israel”. Dios da la orden de ir a cada tribu, de cada tribu a las familias, de cada familia a las casas, de las casa a los varones… Y el que fuere sorprendido en el anatema sería quemado.En el libro de Josué 7:16-18, Josué se levantó de mañana y tomó la tribu de Judá… de la tribu de Judá tomó la familia de los de Zera, de los de Zera tomo a los varones de Zabdi, y fue tomado de los de Zabdi a Acán… Declárame ahora que pecado oculto hay en medio de ti, de tu casa, de tu hogar y de tu familia… (Ministrar, que pecados ocultos hay en la iglesia),Y lo colocaron delante de Jehová. el dinero, el manto, el lingote de oro, sus hijos, sus hijas, sus enseres y lo llevaron al valle de Acor (Turbación = agitación, alteración, apocamiento, asombro, aturdimiento, azoramiento, bochorno, confusión, conmoción

Joshua 7:1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the accursed things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed things; so the anger of the Lord burned against the children of Israel.2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the country.” So the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all the people there, for the people of Ai are few.” 4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shebarim, and struck them down on the descent; therefore the hearts of the people melted and became like water.6 Then Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Lord God, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all—to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan! 8 O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies? 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it, and surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”10 So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.Joshua 7:19 Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I have done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.”

Joshua 7:1-13 But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lordburned against the people of Israel. 2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not have all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not make the whole people toil up there, for they are few.” 4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people. And they fled before the men of Ai, 5 and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men and chased them before the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became as water. 6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they put dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord God, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan! 8 O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it and will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will you do for your great name?” 10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you. 13 Get up! Consecrate the people and say, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.”

Joshua 7:1,6,10-12, 15, 19-21, 24-26But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.  Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they put dust on their heads. The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you. And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done an outrageous thing in Israel.'” Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord God of Israel and give praise to him. And tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did: when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels, then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.” And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent and all that he had. And they brought them up to the Valley of Achor. And Joshua said, “Why did you bring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel stoned him with stones. They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones. And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then the Lord turned from his burning anger. Therefore, to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.Sermon Questions1. What carries the most weight in your heart?1b. What have you given to get that thing?3.

Episode 159: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation BasicsFuture Dr. Ameri explains how transcranial magnetic stimulation can be useful in the treatment of certain mental conditions.  Written by Omeed Ameri, MS-IV, Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression and Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). TMS uses the principles of electromagnetic inductions as described by Faraday's Law. When an electric current passes through the TMS coil, it creates a rapidly charging magnetic field, which passes unimpeded through the scalp and skull, inducing a secondary current in neural tissues of the brain, causing depolarization of neuronal membranes in targeted brain regions, mainly in the superficial layers of the cortex 1.5 to 2.5 cm beneath the coil.How it works.Depending on the frequency and pattern of magnetic pulses, TMS can either increase or decrease cortical excitability. High-frequency TMS (Generally > 1 Hz) is associated with increased cortical excitability and is often used for depression treatment. In contrast, low-frequency TMS (< 1 Hz) is typically used for anxiety and pain.This stimulation alters neurotransmitter release such as dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. The repeated stimulation over sessions promotes synaptic plasticity, leading to more lasting changes in brain activity patterns associated with improved clinical outcomes. This is thought to have cascading effects throughout brain networks, and modulate dysfunctional circuits implicated in depression and restoring normal function. Effectiveness.The effectiveness of TMS can vary widely between individuals due to differences in anatomy, age, and specific conditions being treated. As such, ongoing research into how to personalize and optimize TMS parameters is ongoing. Research supporting the use of TMS in treatment-resistant depression.Research into the effectiveness of TMS and other therapy modalities targeting Treatment-Resistant Depression has been an ongoing effort for many years. In 2009, the American Academy of Family Physicians published Dr. Little's article titled “Treatment-Resistant Depression,” which noted that there was little evidence that TMS could significantly treat patients with treatment-resistant depression. Since that time, the American Journal of Psychiatry published a groundbreaking study in 2020, led by Dr. Cole, which explores the effectiveness of a novel treatment for treatment-resistant depression. This trial, known as Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy or SAINT, which demonstrates promising results in combating depression where traditional methods have failed. It was an open-label study that provides a new perspective on depression treatment, emphasizing rapid and targeted intervention. Twenty-two participants received 50 intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), which is a more recent protocol for TMS treatment, over the course of five days. Each session included 1,800 pulses per session, with a 50-minute intersession interval, ten times a day. As a result of this intensive regimen, one participant withdrew from treatment, and 19 of the remaining 21 met remission criteria, with a score of less than 11 on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale. There were no serious adverse events reported, the participant who withdrew did so due to anxiety. Side effects included fatigue and some discomfort. 70% of participants continued to meet response criteria one-month post-treatment.TMS application for patients with OCD. Studies have shown promising results for the treatment of OCD with TMS. Typically, OCD is difficult to manage and requires the highest doses of SSRIs. In 2019, The American Journal of Psychiatry published Dr. Carmi's Article titled: “Efficacy and Safety of Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial”, which presents a comprehensive study on the effectiveness of dTMS in treating OCD. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involved 99 OCD patients across 11 centers, who were treated with either high-frequency dTMS or sham dTMS, and focused on changes in the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) scores.The treatment phase extended to 6 weeks with a total of 29 treatment sessions, following a 3-week screening phase and a 4-week follow-up phase. Patients were aged 22-68, with YBOCS scores greater than or equal to 20. At the start of the study, patients were already on a maintenance treatment with therapeutic dosages of SSRIs, or previously failed an SSRI and were currently being treated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. The results revealed that dTMS treatment participants showed a significantly greater reduction in YBOCS score compared to sham treatment (6.0 points vs. 3.3 points). The most frequent adverse effect was headaches. There was one incident of severe suicide ideation. On investigation, it was revealed that the suicide ideation preceded the treatment and required hospitalization for the patient. TMS therapy has shown promising results in treating both treatment-resistant depression and OCD. More research is required to assess the long-term viability of the treatment modality, and which treatment regimens have the greatest efficacy for various psychiatric disorders. I hope our listeners will keep TMS in mind when confronted with treatment-resistant depression and OCD.___________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 159, “Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation,” also known as TMS. We learned from future Dr. Ameri that TMS has proven to be an effective option for treatment-resistant depression and Obsessive-compulsive disorder. When medications and therapy are not enough, you may consider this therapy for your patients. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Omeed Ameri.

La capital de las Rías Baixas es el claro ejemplo de que el urbanismo influye mucho en el carácter de las sociedades. Pontevedra es abierta, animada y hospitalaria, rasgos que en parte se deben a la gran abundancia de plazas –en general, pequeñas– unidas por la maraña de calles que componen su núcleo histórico. Las prazas da Leña o da Verdura, das Cinco Rúas, do Teucro o da Ferrería: nombres que en muchos casos aluden a los gremios que en otro tiempo se concentraban en ellas. Hoy son lugares de reunión, una auténtica red neuronal que distribuye vida y animación por todo este centro peatonal. Lo recorremos desde la Alameda hasta la orilla del río Lérez en compañía del escritor José Benito García Iglesias y del pintor Álex Vázquez-Palacios, coautores del libro 'Pontevedra, cuaderno de viaje'. Paradas especiales merecen monumentos como la basílica de Santa María la Mayor o la capilla de la Virgen Peregrina, que nos recuerda el espíritu jacobeo de esta importante parada del Camino Portugués a Compostela. Los guías oficiales Carmiña Valcárcel y Anxo Santomé nos descubren otros rincones más ocultos, como el Santuario de las Apariciones o la Casa das Campás. En el Museo Provincial de Pontevedra su director, José Manuel Rey, nos explica por qué sus seis edificios distribuidos por la ciudad conforman una de las instituciones museísticas más importantes de Galicia. El arte también nos espera en la Illa das Esculturas, un gran proyecto comisariado por el catedrático Antón Castro en una isla del Lérez, el gran río que nutre la ría de Pontevedra y que permite disfrutar de su entorno natural, como hacemos de la mano de la ingeniera de montes María Formoso.Escuchar audio

Corner! Sharp! Behind! For anyone who's ever worked in a restaurant, you know these words mean a lot. It's your language. For marketers, this is more like KPIs, ABM, ICP, Demand Gen. Using the lingo, the jargon, the correct terminology, is a powerful tool when you're trying to reach and resonate with your target audience. You want to speak their language.This means doing some market research to learn industry terms and how they're used. This will also tell you a lot about what your audience cares about. And when you get it right, you'll know. Your engagement will rise and so will your ROI.This is what we're talking about on today's episode with JP Lespinasse, VP of Brand Marketing at Lightcast. JP and the Remarkable team are watching FX's The Bear. Together, we're talking about speaking the language of your audience, serving your audience what they crave, using familiar story recipes, and much, much more. So make yourself a sandwich and tuck in for this episode of Remarkable.About our guest, JP LespinasseJP Lespinasse is VP of Brand Marketing at Lightcast.

And so while struggling to keep the rowdy staff and messy kitchen running, he's also trying to process and grieve his brother's suicide. A lot of people who have worked in food service have said it's a realistic depiction of what it's actually like running a professional kitchen. At any moment it feels like it's going to all fall apart, and it deals with the health inspections, payroll, dirty floors, plumbing and all of the tiny details that make it seem real. It stars Jeremy Allen White as “Carmy” Berzatto, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the restaurant manager, Ayo Edibiri as the new sous chef, and more. The show was created by Christopher Storer for FX and has two seasons out on Hulu. The first season received 13 Emmy nominations including outstanding comedy series.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Bear: Serve your audience what they crave. Do research to understand their wants and needs. Then aim for continuous improvement. In The Bear, JP says that the main character, Carmi, knows that he can't keep making Michelin star-level food when he takes over his brother's sandwich shop. The customers just want the sandwich they know and love from The Beef. JP says, “For us as marketers and for Carmi and the staff at The Beef, it's so important that in those first few episodes, it wasn't about changing anything. It was just about really focusing and listening and understanding the audience. What do they want? What do they come back for? How do I continue to serve them that?” This is especially true for marketers joining a new company where you see room for improvement. Don't try to change everything at once. But make small changes along the way that will raise the quality of your output without alienating customers.Use familiar story recipes. We know the rags to riches, or in this case, riches to rags storytelling recipe. Because it works. Using these known recipes reels in your audience more easily because it feels familiar. It's something they can immediately relate to. Yet it doesn't mean the rest of the story is formulaic or that the ending is obvious. It's just a place to start and hook your audience. Plus twists and turns in the storyline later will be even more of a surprise. When it comes to The Bear, Ian says, “Everybody and their brother has been to Chicago. And everyone has been to a sandwich shop in Chicago. So this idea that is so familiar, which is like, ‘Person moves back home to Chicago and takes over a sandwich shop, even though they're Michelin star.' We just all immediately are like, ‘Okay, I've been to a sandwich shop in Chicago and I totally know how that feels.'” Make it feel real by showing the good, the bad and the meh. You will speak most effectively to marketers by acknowledging the less glamorous and even mundane parts of their job. JP said it best when he said The Bear “took off because all of these folks who had worked at restaurants were like, ‘Yep, that's exactly how it is.' It's just so important to speak authentically to your audience.” And Ian adds, “If you don't really care, if you want to do the Grey's Anatomy version of it, right? Like, that's fine too, and it probably will be really commercially successful. But you won't get the diehards. And in today's day and age where the diehards are so vocal, it's a much more valuable currency to get the little details right.” So The Bear doesn't shy away from the feeling of losing sense of time when you're in the weeds, swamped with orders, or the payroll, plumbing, and no-shows. That's why it resonates.Quotes*”Marketers sometimes do ourselves a disservice. You've written 17 drafts of this webpage before it goes up. And so by the time it goes up, you're sick of it. And you're ready to change it immediately. The audience has never seen it before, right? The average person who comes to a webpage, they stay for a minute and a half, right? Like, so they're not going deep into all the individual words, the pictures and how you've architected it. So just let it sit. Let it breathe.” - JP Lespinasse*”Back when I worked at IBM, we canceled and reworked a whole campaign because we'd done all this due diligence and were going to put some messaging out to the developer audience. And then at the last minute, we're like, ‘You know what? We should show this to some developers before we put it out into the world.' And so we invited them over for pizza and a chat, and they're like, ‘Yeah, that's not how we talk. That's how the movies show how we talk, but that's not really authentically how we talk.' And so we used all their feedback to rework the campaign.” - JP LespinasseTime Stamps[0:54] Meet JP Lespinasse, VP of Brand Marketing at Lightcast[1:23] What's remarkable about The Bear?[4:26] What does JP do at Lightcast?[7:54] What's The Bear about?[20:11] How was The Bear created?

With family: 1 Chronicles 5–6; Hebrews 10 1 Chronicles 5–6 (Listen) Descendants of Reuben 5 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that he could not be enrolled as the oldest son; 2 though Judah became strong among his brothers and a chief came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph), 3 the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser1 king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was a chief of the Reubenites. 7 And his kinsmen by their clans, when the genealogy of their generations was recorded: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10 And in the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they lived in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead. Descendants of Gad 11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah: 12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 And their kinsmen according to their fathers' houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers' houses, 16 and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits. 17 All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. 18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And when they prevailed2 over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea because they trusted in him. 21 They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive. 22 For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the exile. The Half-Tribe of Manasseh 23 The members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They were very numerous from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher,3 Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty warriors, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses. 25 But they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and whored after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan, to this day. 4 Descendants of Levi 6 The sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 2 The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. 3 The children of Amram: Aaron, Moses, and Miriam.

Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman the singer the son of Joel, son of Samuel, 34 son of Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Eliel, son of Toah, 35 son of Zuph, son of Elkanah, son of Mahath, son of Amasai, 36 son of Elkanah, son of Joel, son of Azariah, son of Zephaniah, 37 son of Tahath, son of Assir, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, 38 son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, son of Israel; 39 and his brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand, namely, Asaph the son of Berechiah, son of Shimea, 40 son of Michael, son of Baaseiah, son of Malchijah, 41 son of Ethni, son of Zerah, son of Adaiah, 42 son of Ethan, son of Zimmah, son of Shimei, 43 son of Jahath, son of Gershom, son of Levi. 44 On the left hand were their brothers, the sons of Merari: Ethan the son of Kishi, son of Abdi, son of Malluch, 45 son of Hashabiah, son of Amaziah, son of Hilkiah, 46 son of Amzi, son of Bani, son of Shemer, 47 son of Mahli, son of Mushi, son of Merari, son of Levi. 48 And their brothers the Levites were appointed for all the service of the tabernacle of the house of God. 49 But Aaron and his sons made offerings on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense for all the work of the Most Holy Place, and to make atonement for Israel, according to all that Moses the servant of God had commanded. 50 These are the sons of Aaron: Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son, Abishua his son, 51 Bukki his son, Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son, 52 Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son, 53 Zadok his son, Ahimaaz his son. 54 These are their dwelling places according to their settlements within their borders: to the sons of Aaron of the clans of Kohathites, for theirs was the first lot, 55 to them they gave Hebron in the land of Judah and its surrounding pasturelands, 56 but the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh. 57 To the sons of Aaron they gave the cities of refuge: Hebron, Libnah with its pasturelands, Jattir, Eshtemoa with its pasturelands, 58 Hilen with its pasturelands, Debir with its pasturelands, 59 Ashan with its pasturelands, and Beth-shemesh with its pasturelands; 60 and from the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon,8 Geba with its pasturelands, Alemeth with its pasturelands, and Anathoth with its pasturelands.

The Full Assurance of Faith 19 Therefore, brothers,3 since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. 26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32 But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For,   “Yet a little while,    and the coming one will come and will not delay;38   but my righteous one shall live by faith,    and if he shrinks back,  my soul has no pleasure in him.” 39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. 6 These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first section, performing their ritual duties, 7 but into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing 9 (which is symbolic for the present age).4 According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper, 10 but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation. Redemption Through the Blood of Christ 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come,5 then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify6 for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our7 conscience from dead works to serve the living God. 15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.8 16 For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. 17 For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” 21 And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tent and all the vessels used in worship. 22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. 23 Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are covering "The Bear" season 2. This season was a standout with food, relationships and understanding the character's histories. We could not have asked for more amazing mental health content to discuss. Richie wins Dr. Furey over (he is a swiftie?) and Jamie Lee Curtis playing their mother, Donna was an unexpected gift. We see depictions of borderline personality disorder, addiction and what can happen when complex families get together over the holidays. We also give you some tips on how to manage stressors that can arise when family gathers. Over all we give this season a "chef's kiss," we hope you enjoy! Instagram TikTok Webiste Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fieri, a psychiatrist. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And your DSM Five and enjoy. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Welcome back. We're so excited to be talking about one of our, like, surprising I don't think anyone else was surprised, but we both found the Bear this year and watched both season one and now two. So if you haven't listened to our episode on the Bear season one, go check it out. It is uploaded to everywhere. You can find all of our other podcasts. But today we are so thrilled to be talking about the Bear season two and all of its intensity and intense emotions. Wow. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I feel nervous, like, even getting started. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah, there's a lot to cover. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Oh, my gosh. I also just want to say, is this the best show ever? I feel like yes. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I like how the episodes are not all, like, hours. One of them was this season, which it was worth it. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Oh, my God. Portia Pendleton LCSW: But I just love the shorter episodes. I love all of the dynamic characters. I like the scenes, the sets. I like food. Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I want to be a chef. I realize it's, like, such a beautiful combination of art and science. Right. Like, the way they're cooking, and it's so creative. It's so beautiful the way everything's shot. The character development, especially this season, was astounding. It's so smartly written, and I just found myself at the end of it being, like, so sad. It was over and wanting more, and I was like, is this the best. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Show of all time? Maybe. I think so. I also just love a good family s show, like, on TV. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I love succession. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Well, not really you, but he doesn't really have any family. I guess that's the point. No. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah. So are you saying you really like the interpersonal dynamics? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes. Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And obviously we would like that. Right? It's two shrinks. Obviously. That's what we're into. But I feel like this is the reason we wanted to start this podcast, is to just shine light when people get it so right. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It's done so well. And I'm just like, how on earth are they tackling such intense topics and dynamics? Like, oh, my God, we'll get into the feast of the seven fishes. But, like, that family dynamic. Grief, suicide, addiction, depression, stress, like, guilt, grief, and then also in this season, resilience and growth. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So much growth. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Like, achieving your dreams and fulfilling your potential that you didn't even know was there. And how being in the right environment with the right leader can really pull that out of people. And how Carmee was so good at that, despite going through so much struggle himself. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Whoa. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: How did they get it was so good. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So good. So I think we're going to get started by talking about some of the supporting characters before we really get into the meat with the Feast of the Seven Fishes and some of the more main characters. But I fell in love with Tina this season. What did you think about Tina and her arc? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I loved how her depiction in season one was just like things hadn't changed. Right. They're all kind of set in their ways. That's how we do things. Like pretty resistant to change. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yes, very resistant. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Which is something, again, I think everyone can relate to. When you're working at a job and initially something comes down the pipe and you're like, oh, I don't know how we could do this. No one wants it, really. Everyone's pushing back. Everyone gets grouchy. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Especially when it's like a younger, new hot show and you have all this experience and you're like, you don't know what you're talking about. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Yeah. So she was pushing back. We didn't really get a lot of her backstory. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: We didn't really get anyone's except for Carmen. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Her singing, it was like she goes and does karaoke. Beautiful voice. Stunning voice. Yeah. So then she goes to school. Yes. It's supposed to be her and Ibrahim. And she seems to really flourish and enjoy and kind of soak up all the information. And then her and Sydney have some beautiful moments when Know asks her several times to step up. And Tina seems really moved by that and appreciated. And she totally rises to the challenge and kicks butt. And in the later episodes, she's just rocking the kitchen. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: She totally rose to the occasion. I feel like her versus Ibrahim was such an interesting depiction. Like, they were both sort know, the old guard, you could say, and both kind of resistant to the change that was coming with Carmee and Sydney. But then you see Carmee's, like, investing in his staff by sending them to school, sending Marcus to Denmark. And she was so thrilled and she really lit up. She hugged him. Ibrahim, on the other hand, was really not into it. He was scared. He didn't go. But then he showed up at the end and I loved that they all welcomed him back with open and there. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Was still a place. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: There's still a place for him. How beautiful is you can always come home. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I liked when he was doing the Serve Safe thing online. I remember doing that. It's like, so boring. And I mean, it's good, notable information. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But it's just like, come on. Yeah, it's one of those certificates. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It's just so funny. They're like, oh, it's served like, we might not be able to open. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It was just so funny. But I just loved how Carme gave Tina his knife and then she tried to give it back to him and he's like, I didn't ask for it back. Just all of that just investment in your staff was so beautiful. He didn't just fire everyone and bring in people who are already trained. He believed in them. Right. And then I thought the scenes with her and Sydney were really beautiful. Especially as we got to understand Sydney's background more with her mom right. And how her mom died when she was four. And I was just like, oh, look at yeah. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Like, I wonder what it was like for Sydney to initially be butting heads with Tina in season one and just kind of Sydney being brought on. And Sydney is very educated right. In Chef culture in Chef land. And Tina, I think is a wonderful chef, but just has been doing right the same thing. They've been making these more like sandwich shop type stuff. Sydney was more like of, I guess, an elevated places or had her own. And I think it was hard to watch like in season one, tina, I felt empathy for her being kind of challenged and struggling to kind of get on the ship and having a young woman kind of telling you that your mashed potatoes aren't good and to do it again. And you see that then in season two, Tina kind of checking, right? Like, do you want me to do it again? And then I think it's the second to last episode. Carmen's like no, it's perfect. Yeah. And that all is so meaningful to her. The knife is meaningful. That feedback is meaningful. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And it all started in season one. Remember when Tina was like falling behind and Sydney picked up the slack and then didn't rub it in her know. Portia Pendleton LCSW: She could trust her. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. It was just really beautiful and just so beautifully written. And to see their dynamic unfold, I thought was really beautiful. And I just am curious about that dynamic. Since Tina is older, maybe unconsciously, some kind of mother figure to her. But then Sydney has more of the authority in that workplace relationship. I just thought it was interesting. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. What did you think of like, reaction? What do you think that was coming. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Feel like I think he was scared. That's the only thing I can think of. He was saying he didn't want to wear a uniform. I also wonder about his background. Does he come from somewhere where uniforms signify something that's. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I think there was a really fast reference in season one to Carmi about him from someone else that he was in the military. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: That's what I was wondering. Portia Pendleton LCSW: A different country. And he had come mean we could only guess then from that what that means or how he is doing from that experience, but maybe yeah, uniform thing for sure. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: The uniform thing was, like, the real sticking point. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I think he totally had a different reaction than Tina. Like, I don't want to go. Why do I have to do this? And it wasn't like, I'm too old. Portia Pendleton LCSW: To learn new things. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And he doesn't look too old to learn new things, by the way. You're never too old to learn new things. But it was something about the uniform and conforming. I'm not sure it'd be really interesting to get more of that. But then we don't see him for a while, and then all of a sudden he shows back up and he's, like, excited to work, takeout window. And again, we already said it, but I just love that there was still a spot for him. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. And I liked how Tina and him had that conversation in the window right, where they were, like, talking about everyone in the third. That was that was sweet. And it was Tina really knowing, I think, how to approach him, knowing that she can't just say things directly, knowing that he needed the space to kind of not be able to talk about himself directly, and then he would come back. That was really just, like, good people. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right, right. And so, again, we're just seeing, like, really rise to the occasion. We also see Marcus rise to the occasion, which I never doubted he would. He was always so into the desserts, and I was like, even in season one, I was like, I had no idea so much went into making food and desserts. And it's like chemistry, really. But season two starts off with him at I believe it's his mother's bedside. Right? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So she's ill. I don't think we really understand or. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Learn what exactly seems serious. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It seems serious. It seems chronic, like it's been going on for a long time, but, like, one of those situations where it's always tenuous. Like it's been going on for a long time, but it could nosedive at any time. So it sounds like she has, like, this round the clock care. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: What did you think about kind of seeing him with his mom, seeing the dynamic between him and Sydney develop in the context of the stuff with Sydney and her mom? There's a lot of moms in season two. A lot of mom stuff. Portia Pendleton LCSW: A lot. I think that Marcus, in a really nice way, has the capacity to be really empathetic and sweet with Sydney if they get there about her mom and then his mom. I think they just both have grief and loss in different ways about the mother figure in their life at different times, of course, and in different ways. But I think that that's really something to connect on if they again go there. I thought it was funny how I think it was between Carme and Sydney when she was like, yeah, my mom's dead, so we don't really have a relationship and it's hard when she's dead. Yeah. It was just such a normal thing. It's been a long time. It happened when she was four. Of course it still impacts her, but it's that using kind of comedy or to make Levity of a really tough situation, because you can see Carmen be like, kind of, I don't know how to handle this. And she's like, yeah, well, then they kind of chuckle. It's just something that I think a lot of people do. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I think, again, like, so beautifully written because it's so normal, like, at Sydney's age or younger, for people to ask you, like, what about your parents? And they're assuming you still have them. Right. And it's really awkward to be on the receiving end when you don't have both of, like, well, how do I share this with the person without making them uncomfortable? Right. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And, like, having that uncomfortable sense. And she's like, don't say I'm sorry. We can just move on. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So I thought it was, like, a. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Really interesting way to bring that up. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And the acting I know we're going to say this over and over again, but I just want to point out, for Sydney, it felt so real, and obviously that's what acting should be. But she just nailed the head on making the awkwardness of, oh, someone's asking me this, and I don't know how to say yeah. It was just so yes. So good. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So good. And when Marcus asks her out at the end, how awkward. I was so happy when he did. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I thought they were totally vibing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Like, when he was in Denmark, and they were FaceTiming and joking, and they kept pretending to like, I thought they were totally vibing. And then it totally threw her off. Yes. Portia Pendleton LCSW: What do you think about that? I don't know, because I would say, based on the show, that she had. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: To have been picking up on, that. Portia Pendleton LCSW: They were, like, silly at least. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So then for her to be like, did she shut it down? Because she was just so uncomfortable, nervous. You know what I mean? Or was it did it come out of left field? And she was just like, oh, I thought we were being friends. I don't know why it threw her. It seems like it, quote unquote, shouldn't have, but obviously it did for a then and then. Right. Kind of having that awkward kind of explosion right at the end where Marcus then yells at her, well, you're mad at me. And it was just you could tell. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: He was uncomfortable because he took his shot. Portia Pendleton LCSW: He felt vulnerable. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah. Do you think she's in love with Carmee? Do you think that's what it is? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I feel like it could go either way. Like, I could argue yes or no. I feel like yes, because she made that thing about Claire or seemed so awkward when she found out that Carmen was seeing someone. But then right I could argue 100% the other way, too. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It's just because it's taking attention away. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. And then it was just like, why didn't you tell me? And then she's helping him, right. Kind of coaching him how to be a boyfriend or being like, don't be a jerk. You are dating, giving him that feedback. So I don't know. I think it could go either way in season three, and I wouldn't be surprised. I would like to know. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Okay. The scene of them fixing the table. Like in the last episode. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I thought they were going to kiss. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: That's what I mean. That's what I mean is I can't tell the vibe. Portia Pendleton LCSW: But then, because they didn't, I was like, oh, I just get it. Totally mean. Again, the writers are phenomenal. So I don't think so. But I think we're supposed to think that. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Exactly. I think we're supposed to feel, like, in limbo and not really be able to peg the Sydney love carme in a way that she idealizes him as a chef up to him, and he's really, again, brought her in, believed in her, got her that at the end. Was it from Tom Brown, the beautiful chef outfit? Is that why she loves, quote unquote, him? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Is it, like, romantic or more like ideal mentorship? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But there's something about it that feels romantic. Like, I did pick up on that jealousy with Claire, and it wasn't clear. Like, is that because she's into Carmen or because Claire's taking his attention away and she's, like, ****** about it and he's know, kind of ******** up. But that was where when Marcus asked her out, I was like, is it because she has feelings for Carmen, or. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Is it because she doesn't want to. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: End up like him by starting to date someone and getting distracted or dating in the workplace? But I would love them together because. Portia Pendleton LCSW: They kind of did have a date, right, in season one when she made him food. I guess. I wouldn't call it a date. They had a dinner or lunch. I'm not sure which one together that seemed like it could go somewhere. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: They seem like they have a really nice connection, whether that's just friends or like, I would like to see it progress. I really like Marcus. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah, me too. He's sweet. And I think Sydney and Marcus are just in our shrink opinions. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Like a good so they're a good fit. Yeah, I think so. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Neither feel toxic. It doesn't feel like it would be an icky relationship. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Their personalities, like, balance each other. I don't know. I really am rooting for them. I was bummed she didn't take them up on it. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And then she's, like, throwing up, and I was like, is she pregnant? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I feel like she doesn't know just because there's no data right. To like she would have to have had sex with someone that we never saw, we didn't know about. I feel like she was just so anxious. So let's talk about right, like, physical manifestation of anxiety. Like nausea. Sometimes we do actually vomit from the nausea. Could sweat. I mean, they're all sweating because they're moving a million miles a minute, but they all, I would assume, are so nervous. There's so much on the line. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, exactly. Other common symptoms of anxiety would be, like your tingling of your fingers or legs. Your heartbeat going fast. Start feeling like it's skipping a beat. Your blood pressure going up. You might have a headache. You might lose your appetite. You might be really restless. Like, walking around a lot. Things like that. Yeah, some diarrhea. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I think we saw that from all of them. And fun little I was just, like, laughing throughout the whole season with Carmen. Just, like, having Tums and then FAK at one point is like also, he's, like, takes a sip, too. And I was like, first of all, TMI, I can relate. I am a pepto girly. I do drink it regularly. You know what if you need it? I was just, like, feeling very connected to Carme in those moments. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I was like, I feel you. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Anxiety really gets to your stomach. It totally does. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: You know why? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I'd love to know. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Nerd, please tell. So there's also serotonin receptors in your gut. And so that's why when you start an SSRI, which works on the serotonin receptors, the early side effects can be, like, some diarrhea, some upset stomach and stuff like that. So there's totally a connection there. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I didn't know that. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, I guess that's why they always say, right? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Like, mind gut connection. Totally. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And I feel like in medicine, we're still uncovering that connection, but it totally makes sense. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Cool. Yeah. Didn't know. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Anyway, so we have a lot of new characters in this season two, so they all kind of come out in the Christmas episode. The fishes. All of the fishes happening. So is there anything else up until then that we want to talk about? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I guess the only other thing I wanted to touch on was the dynamic between Sydney and her dad. I thought that it was just so, again, well written. What's it called a broken record. But just seeing, like so she still lives with her dad. It sounds like she's tried a couple of things, and they haven't really worked. And I'm wondering now, seeing how nervous she was in the finale, if she gets in her own way, if she's going to be successful. But then her anxiety takes over, and she's like, I can't do this, and I quit. Or if she gets in over her head or things like that. But he's still supporting her. But you get the sense at this point, he's like, okay, I want to support you. And it sounds like you're putting a lot on the line. You're working really hard, you're not getting paid. Like, are you sure about this? Kind of thing, but he makes room for her reaction. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And tries to give her fatherly advice in a way that I feel like she hears and doesn't feel rejected by. Portia Pendleton LCSW: No, I don't think she feels rejected. I think she puts so much pressure on herself because it sounds I mean, she's so concerned with what her dad thinks about the food. Right. And rightfully so. Of course, her parents proud, but I think based on their conversations throughout season two, it just seems like she really wants to be good for him, and it's not coming from him, though. It's not this pressure that's like, you have to be or you're out. Right. It's like he says, which I think is so sweet, like, you can stay here forever, but I want you to be happy and doing your thing. And then at the end, he's like, this is the thing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And I was like, so she's throwing up the dumpster, he's leaving, and he's like, Babe, baby, babe. It was so sweet. You could tell that's his little girl like, Are you okay? When he doesn't want to intrude. I thought he did such a good job of toeing that line with an adult child. I kept thinking, like, I could cry saying this. I hope I get to see my kids find their thing someday and get to be there, like, cheering them on. And I'm sure it's just so hard to have those conversations with your adult kid who's kind of floundering for a little bit, and it's like, of course you're going to flounder. Okay. So it's just so beautiful. There were no ultimatums. No, there was no, like, you got to get out. Portia Pendleton LCSW: You get your **** together. And it didn't seem like she was taking advantage of him either. I think he knows that, and that's why he is more giving, I guess, with his resources. It's not like, oh, you're not doing anything, and you're living here. She's working so hard. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, exactly. And I love that he was there to see it and support her, and even in that spot, like, gave her space. No, definitely. Really beautiful. Loved it. Okay, everyone, take a deep breath. Drink your pepto, take your propranolol. We're going to get into maybe the best episode of TV of all time, episode six called Fishes, where we see the family dynamic in our face, and it's like, guest star, guest star, guest star. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Phenomenal acting, phenomenal writing, phenomenal cinematography. It was so good. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Oh, my God. I hope I doubt they did, but I hope they had a therapist on set to debrief with. Oh, my God, they were doing this. If you want one for season three, reach out. We're here. But holy ****. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So how did you feel watching it? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Let's start there. I felt like I was running a marathon. Portia Pendleton LCSW: That's a great talking about it again. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: My heart rate, I can tell, is increasing. It was just chaotic. Yes. Chaotic, nervous, confused, excited because we were finally going to meet his mom. I always want to know about people's mom. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I felt like I was there. I felt like I was sitting at the table or in the kitchen just, like, observing it. And what's funny is, I would assume at least unless you have just really good luck, that most people listening and both of us have experienced chaos, right? So whether it's at work in a professional setting, whether it's with your own family, whether it's watching friend stuff, but being present for really intense and poor interpersonal skills and just that feeling you get. You're so uncomfortable, but you're paralyzed, you can't look away. You're feeling all of those kind of physical symptoms that we talked about before. It's just this feeling that I've had before in my life that I had watching this episode, which, again, the fact that they can elicit that through a screen, it just blows me. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Astounding. Astounding, astounding, astounding. I totally agree. And I feel like as you were saying that, I was thinking initially of all of the guests at the table, like, Frozen, when Mikey and Uncle Lee, played by Bob Odenkirk, were going at it and the tension was rising, and they're all just, like, trying to figure out how do you diffuse the situation? And you see everyone's trauma response kicking in, but then also just the know Carmee and, like, just interact with Donna, played by Jamie Lee Curtis, like, what a surprise. But perfect in the role. Just the way they try to navigate her is also the same thing you're talking about. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So the episode starts off with them outside, right? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And, like, Sugar smoking, real nervous, and. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I'm like, okay, what's going on? I really hadn't had any spoilers for this show, so I'm, like, super blind about it, right? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But I was like, oh, my God, isn't she pregnant? Portia Pendleton LCSW: And then, no, it's actually right. And then you see Mikey, right, kind of talking to her and saying all these things, and I was like, well, who are they talking about? And then it becomes clear that it's their mom. And then Carme comes out, and they're like, don't do anything. Don't ask her if she's don't. And I was like, I wonder what that's going to be about. And then it was like, when you finally see the kitchen, and I can't remember if it's through Carmen's eyes, I want to say it is. It's just, like, chaotic visual representation of their family dynamic. Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: 100%. 100%. Yes. Portia Pendleton LCSW: There's sauce splattered on the walls. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: There's, like, a million timers all going. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Off, all startle response, right? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: She's, like, drinking and smoking up a wazoo. Portia Pendleton LCSW: You're like, Are you going to set. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: The house on fire? It's so chaotic. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Sugar is so anxious, and I thought it was just so again, you saw everyone's family roles. So Mikey seems to be kind of, like, aligned, knows how to work with his mom. He's kind of like, whatever, this is how it is. There's probably a better way to explain it. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Almost like learned helplessness. So that's a concept where back in the day, they did some experiment with mice or rats where they would basically drown them. Do you remember reading about this? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Probably in bachelor's level Psych, right? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Learning about depression. They did something where they would basically put mice in some tank of water and not give them a way out and just see how long till they gave up. What a terrible experiment. But it led to this concept of learned helplessness, where it's like when you're in a situation, an environment where you just lose hope that you're going to get out of it, you just sort of give up or accept, like, this is it. I kind of feel like with Mikey. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Maybe that was his know, which we can circle back to and talk a lot, you know, coping with it with substances. And you see then, like, kind of on the other end, continuing to poke the bear, for lack of a better word. She's asking, Are you okay? Can I do anything? Can I do anything? And you just see from the outside that is not working. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But don't you think don't you think this is my theory as to okay. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So if that didn't work, sugar would. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Have learned in childhood not to do it, but she's doing it as an adult, and she's the girl. There's always something with mother daughter relationships, especially when there's more siblings, and you're the only girl we saw this with. But, like, I would imagine that growing up, there would be times when that would work and that would lead to a connection with Donna, and she would calm down and maybe even express gratitude, like, in a overly familiar or, like, kind of inappropriately, like, parentified. Sugar become parentified and become, like, the caretaker of her mom. And I bet for Sugar, that felt really good. She got her mom's positive attention. She felt good. I bet her mom would say things like, you're such a good girl. I don't know what I'd do without. Like, I'm sure that happened intermittently enough where it would reinforce this behavior. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And I bet it happened when they're alone, right? So, like, Donna has all these guests over. She's making the dinner. No one can help, right? Like, she then wants all this gratitude. She wants to be the center of attention. And so then Sugar challenging that and being in the parent role is like a big no. I'm in the one in charge. Exactly. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Threatening her sense of superiority and competency. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And remember with Sugar partner, who brought, like, a casserole, and everyone's like, she throws it outside, and it's tuna, so it has, like, a distinct smell. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And he's like, It's a fish. He's like, this is the 8th fish. Portia Pendleton LCSW: That was perfect. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But so I think that's what's going on with Sugar and. Then Carmi feels like the one who. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So, you know, I think if I picked one word, I'd say, like like, he kind of checks out. He's gone. And then I think it's interesting, and I would be curious to know because he was in New York for a while, but is that because he went with Cousin Michelle, played by know she asked her then, but he seemed really hesitant to or like, that wouldn't be know. He was immediately sucked back into the trauma right. Of his family, which I feel like happens. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Right. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So it seemed like I got the. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Sense that this was happening when he was in Denmark and he came home for the holiday, but I don't think people expected him to. It seemed like people were kind of surprised. You saw that tension between Mikey and Carmee. I get the sense Mikey's older than Carmel. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I think Carmen's the youngest. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So sugar's in the middle. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Maybe. I don't know why I think that, but I think that I could see that. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But again, you see that sort of competition, that tension. Like, it was nice of you to show up. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Big. Big. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Um, which is always, to me, so sad when there's, like, a sibling or someone who's done so, like, don't you just wish one of them had Sydney's dad to be like, good? Like, none of them get it right from Donna. We don't even know where their dad is. Right. But yeah. So Carmen comes back and it's like. Portia Pendleton LCSW: The guilt tripping that he gets from his mom. To your point about just it was just so icky. Like, you're basically saying that you want him to stay here and live with you. She didn't say this exactly, but she's telling him that she wants him to be here with her and almost like, how dare you go and leave me. I need you. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I can't believe I'm not the son. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Exactly. Instead of, wow, you're so amazing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: God, in Michelin Star, even taking credit. Portia Pendleton LCSW: For it could be, like, another way in that she doesn't take right. Like, you're my son and you did this wonderful thing. It's like no, it's like that other. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Because you left her. Yes. Yeah. So, Portia, if you had to diagnose Donna with something, what would it be? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Sounds like narcissism and maybe some borderline personality traits. Especially with the fear of abandonment. Fear of abandonment? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Substance use. Really? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. And especially I'm curious we can talk about this later, but I'm curious at the end when she shows up, is she sober? Has she gotten treatment? Is this a manipulative tactic to use on Sugar's husband? I don't know. Because it could have go either way. I thought it was really interesting, the insight that she had with I ruin everything, because I hear that a lot in substance use land. I hear that a lot in borderline land. So I don't know. Are you sober now and you have all this guilt, are you not? And you're just kind of, again, like, self sabotaging relationships. Instead of going in there and saying, I'm so proud of you, it's like, no, you don't show up, and you make it about you, but you have so much pain. She's obviously in so much pain. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Well, and I think that speaks to what you've said before, is I feel like she leans more in the borderline personality realm than the narcissism realm. But I think there's narcissistic flavors there. But I think with this fear of abandonment, just with the way everyone's walking on eggshells, her quick light switch flip of a mood at the very end when she drove her car into the house. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I mean, just like the self harming. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: In that way, the manipulative way of just like, screaming at everyone and then, oh, my God. It was just shocking. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I wonder if she expected them to come after her. Right. So if I'm thinking of someone who has Borderline who's incredibly in an intense emotional state this is not like your day to day. You're doing okay. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I think she was at that moment, right. She felt incredibly devalued, put down. So someone with these traits can't tolerate that. So she feels like annihilated. And then I think she was trying to commit suicide or a suicidal gesture. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I feel like gesture, if I'm being really picky. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Because I guess she seemed very intoxicated. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes, exactly. So, like, also, was it a mistake? Did you mean to reverse? Did you mean to hit as far as this rage, we have no idea. But how traumatizing. So I'm wondering, right. Like, if Carme had run after her. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: If he did, Mikey did. He was the one who was like, mom. Mom. I think, if I remember correctly, when the car crashed. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. So I'm saying before that, right? Like, as she leaves the table, I'm wondering if someone had then pursued her. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: She would have been wanting exactly. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And because she didn't get it, she then had made this big gesture to get everyone's attention back. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And that is very much in line with borderline personality disorder behaviors. Right. Just instigating. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. I think my knee jerk reaction with all TV characters is always like, no, they are narcissists traits, for sure. But I don't know why I didn't say that first. She displays many traits of Borderline, especially when someone is in a really intensive emotional state. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yes. And just that all the toxic dynamic, the splitting, the pitting one against the other, the manipulative tactics, the rage, the suicidal gestures, all of it is just. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And it's like you keep digging your own hole. And I think when someone's watching without any knowledge of borderline or I don't know, I guess understanding of it, it can be so frustrating. It's like she keeps making things worse. Right. Like, over and over and over again. It's like she keeps pushing everyone far away. Why can't she just come in and be like, you know what it's like. Because she's not capable of it. In that moment, she's so hurt. She feels so, like you said before, like annihilated. So there's no coming back. She can't see that. She could just dot, dot, dot, right. Come into the restaurant. Sam. Sorry. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: She could just because that would taking accountability. Exactly. Being able to hold on to the fact that she has good and bad within her. And people with borderline personality disorder really struggle to hold on to two opposing feelings, two opposing beliefs or views at the same time, especially about themselves. Right? They can't tolerate feeling bad. That's why they project it out on other people. That's why they act out and become the victim or become the martyr or just leave, abandon situations where there's been something that they regret. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So much self loathing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So much self loathing. But it keeps hurting everyone. And I thought like, that I was shocked. She showed up at the end to the restaurant. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Maybe in an internal right. I could only imagine what was going on in her head. Part curiosity, part wanting to be a part of it, wanting to be included, wanting to not feel abandoned. But at the same time, maybe the fear that they would reject you, the fear that it would be uncomfortable, the fear that someone would make a comment. And then you could just see the hurt when Sugar's husband accidentally said that Sugar is pregnant and she didn't know. Right. And then she's just like, flustered. But again, she's going to internalize that as right, I'm not important enough to know this. I'm an abandoned life. They're abandoning me, I'm sure. Also, the self loathing of like, they don't love me, they don't want me. I'm so bad. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But I think often with people who struggle with Bpd, it's very hard to tolerate that amount of self loathing. Sometimes totally for a little bit of time. I think we see displayed in the finale where she's showing up and thinking about going in. But to actually go in would involve reckoning with all the harm you've caused and sort of accepting it and taking some accountability, which I don't think she's able to do because know her psychological limitations so often. Then you project it onto other people, so it turns into, well, Sugar didn't tell me. Well, Carmi didn't invite me. Like, it's their fault they're leaving me. And this is the classic dance we see with Bpd. There's even a very good book out there called I Hate You. Don't leave me. Is that push and pull, that seeking of love or help or attention, then rejecting it. And so she leaves or rejects them before they can reject her. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And she wants I thought it was really interesting and important that they included it in the writing with her repeatedly asking him to tell her it's okay, right, to leave. She's like, you need to tell me it's okay. You need to tell me it's okay. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Because then she puts it on exactly that he's the one. Portia Pendleton LCSW: He said, it's okay. And she can kind of, like, move past the fact that she chose to leave, right? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: He said, I leave. Can't even hold on to that accountability. Amazing writing. And again, I just feel like the only way you get this so right is if you have lived experience, right? So to the writers, God bless you. I hope you're doing okay. And I just wonder, is it healing to create art like this that resonates with so many people and then other people, I'm sure, watch it and recognize their own family members or their own toxic dynamics. And I got to believe you feel less alone, right. When you're like, oh, my God, I'm not the only one who lives through stuff like this, so maybe it isn't me. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Some of the commentary that this episode received was like, it not sugar coating. And there are some movies that make holidays wildly stressful and ridiculous with crazy family dynamics. Even the movie, I think it's like four Christmases, right? And so there are other ones out there. But some of the commentary on this specific episode was like, this does happen, right? If you have a dysfunctional family, which a lot of people do, the holidays are so intense and stressful and getting everyone together when most of the people have poor communication skills and these intense feelings and they don't know how to handle them, and they're adults and there's no accountability, there's no self awareness. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: There's a lot of substance. Portia Pendleton LCSW: There's drinking. Exactly. It's just like this recipe for disaster. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yes, exactly. And we see the disaster play out, and it's so true. And I feel like in situations like this where everyone comes back to home. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It'S like everyone just fulfills their roles again. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And I thought we saw that really well with the three siblings and all the other supporting characters. And I'm sure something that you talk about with your patients like I do, especially around holidays. It's interesting that this episode is going to come out during the holiday season is like, setting boundaries for yourself and really being thoughtful about like, is it in my best interest to go home? What's it going to be like? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Can I bring someone? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Sometimes in a hotel, it's really important to think about. Oh, my God. But Jamie Lee Curtis. Wow. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I mean, the cast was just like, phenomenal. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And then Sarah Paulson cousin Michelle. Then we have John Mulaney playing Stevie, Michelle's partner. That was just such he's such like a non fit. Right? But he loves going the blessing he gave trying to deescalate Mikey. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: He did such a good job at first, and then it was like Uncle Lee made the comment, I think, about the mom, which again, I felt like was also an attempt to acknowledge what everyone is thinking and feeling and validate it and say okay, well, now that's over. And that just escalated. Like, why do you think that was? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I felt like it was in Mikey's mind, like, a slight to. I mean, you could have taken it either way. I think if you were secure and calm and not traumatized by what happened, not drinking, not high, it could have come across as like, okay, this, like, the healing moment. But I think you could totally look at it the other way because of how he's been acting the rest of the night. He was antagonizing Mikey. Yeah. And just, like, doing unnecessary things. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Is he her brother? Portia Pendleton LCSW: I don't know. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: The uncles and the cousins. It gets very confusing. But also, I think that displayed, like, even though Mikey in a lot of ways is really checked out, that's still his mom, and there's always a tie to your totally. Even when they're really awful parents, that's still your mom. And you can get very defensive, and I'm sure there's more backstory, like, where is their dad? What happened? If she's the parent who stayed? Even if she's so dysfunctional to kids, like, well, you stayed. You at least love me enough. Totally stay. So I could see him just like, that was it. And they'd already been at each other's throats, and he's high, and, like, I also thought it just displayed a really awful way to shame someone struggling with substance use. You're not of your whole freaking family. It made me so upset. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It just felt like, I can empathize with being around someone who is struggling with a substance use disorder. That's one of the hardest things to do. Absolutely. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: 100%. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And some of the things that Uncle. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Lee was doing just felt so unnecessary. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Like, why did you interrupt the story to tell Mikey and everyone, well, we've heard this a million times, and then see the end of it. Why couldn't you have just left the room? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Just leave it alone. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Like, you know, he's using, so what does that mean? People, when they're using, are not making their best choices. They're not really using good communication skills or can sit with things. They're going to react. So it's like, Why were you doing that? I know you've got to have known that that would have happened. So that's where, I'm, like, it felt even with the comment he made after the dinner or after Donna had that explosion, was like, what are you like, just sit there for a moment. It was weird. And just felt like, in that scenario, unhelpful. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah. And I got to feel like or got to think he just has so much anger at my at everyone, that it's like he's just, like, fed up, and it's not really clear why. I wonder if we'll learn why at some point, but then don't go. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes. If he's in therapy with me, it'd be like, okay, this sounds really stressful and really hard for you, so what would it be like to not go? What would it be like to go to someone else's family holiday for that day or do something else? What would it be like to go for an hour? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yes, exactly. And I always will tell my patient, because usually the first thing they say is like, oh, my God, that'll be so hard. I can't do it. And I always say, well, it's going. Portia Pendleton LCSW: To be hard either way. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It's going to be hard to just go and follow the same old routines, same old patterns. Like, that's this version of hard. This other version of hard. Listening to your instincts, respecting your own limits, that'll be hard, too. Which hard do you want to choose? And do you want to try this new version and see how it right? But so hard. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So hard. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I know. Last time I said I hated Richie. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Oh, my gosh. I know. I was thinking about you. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I have totally flipped. Yes, of course love him. Like, I've totally flipped, and I love him. And I was so sad to see him so happy in this episode with Tiffany, that was Anderson. And I'm like, what happened? How did it break down? Portia Pendleton LCSW: He's still so in love with Know, inviting her to the Taylor Swift concert. What's? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: The Taylor Swift song? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Oh, my God. I know. I was like, Is that love story? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It can't be. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And then I was like, oh, my God, it is. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And he's just, like, jamming out. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And I was just like, this is so, like, everything about and I liked Richie season one, because I felt sorry for him. He wasn't doing things that I enjoyed, but I just felt really sorry for him. And this like, I was so proud of him. I got teary, like, a couple times. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: With was when he was at the fancy restaurant and really just stepped up. Was wearing his to be there. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It's like he was finally seen, and not in this icky family dynamic where he's like, you know, they know how to do it. Exactly. He was seen as like, no, you're a person who matters and who has a place here, and you're important. Right. And we like you. Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And he saw himself. He finally saw his own self worth. And I loved when he came back, and he just kept saying, I wear suits now. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I wear suits. Richie, you look like a million bucks. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I know. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So for the third person asks him, right? Like, what are you wearing a suit? What are you wearing a suit for? And then to someone, maybe it was FAK. He was like, Because I feel better about myself. And I was like, wow. Also, you're, like, identifying emotions. You're connecting with yourself. You know that this makes you feel better, and you're doing it. Wow. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And again, back with the uniform, the suit. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Like with Ibrahim, how he was so turned off by it. Now Richie's really embracing Chef coat. Portia Pendleton LCSW: There's so much because wearing it's so funny that you say that. Just thought of it. He has like an orange T shirt on the opening night because know he's doing the but like, everyone else has the know that says or they have the really nice chef coat or they're wearing a really nice suit, which is so adorable. I love when Richie exactly is consoling him because he's scared. Because Richie is handling right. I don't know what that job is called. It seems like the most stressful job I've ever is that like a yes? Yeah. I've never worked in a restaurant where that's a thing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, you make sure all the plates I only know because my husband did this for a while. But you make sure all the plates are right. They look right. They get there. I don't know if that's expo or. Portia Pendleton LCSW: If just like calling out these things. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And that girl, remember he was so impressed by her and everything. But yeah, Richie consoling FAK when he needed him in the front and back. It's just like you see the trickle down of Karmi believing in people trickling down. And it's just like beautiful. It's so beautiful. And I totally flipped on Richie. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah, I'm worried about him. And after we say this, we can kind of segue into Carme throughout the show. But I was like, oh, what's going to happen in season three after Carmen says all of those horrible things to Richie when Carme's in the walk in? Like, Richie seems okay because he keeps saying, well, I love you. Well, I love you. Well, I love you. As Carme is saying, like, you're a leech. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: F you. Portia Pendleton LCSW: F you. I hate you. F you. Like, you have no one, your daughter, all these things. And Richie. Just saying. I love you. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I'm going to cry. But also beautiful because I feel like Richie has probably been in that place and said stuff like that to people when he's in so much pain to push them away. And he knows it's almost like Richie knows what Carmen he's doing. Portia Pendleton LCSW: His head. He now is this like all of a sudden he's gone through a lot. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I feel like he can stand there and tolerate it because he knows that's not what he really means. He's trying to push me away. He needs to know I'm here. And it's like, how do you get there? How do you get there so fast? Portia Pendleton LCSW: It was incredible. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Incredible. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I freaking love Richie. No words. Totally. I loved watching him, his moments. I definitely teared up that whole episode. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yes. Yeah. I just loved seeing him step into his power and believe in it. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It was like a 35 minutes episode that was so incredibly done. Even that one, right? So we've been talking about Fishes forks from the beginning of the episode to the end. Even the imagery of him waking up earlier and earlier and earlier and getting up quicker and doing his hair, it was like those tiny little things was so good. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: This is so good. And it's just like, I want everyone to feel that pride. Right. And it's just like, if Richie can get there, anyone can get right. Like, I just feel like we learned a little bit about his backstory. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I don't know why they separated. That wasn't given. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Sure. I'm hopeful we'll find out. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Because they seem so happy. Again, I have to imagine Richie is kind of like a milder version of Donna, maybe, where you not in like I don't think he meets criteria for Bpd, but I think he self sabotages. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So I could based on low self esteem exactly. And just being like, I wonder if he had Add that went undiagnosed as a kid and developed a lot of anxiety about that and just fell into like, well, I'm not good enough. I'm never going to achieve, so this is all I'm good for. And then when he gets close to having good things, sabotages it. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And some dad was in the army. I'm using a really generalized stereotype, but really maybe really strict, really demanding, dismissive, not loving. And again, maybe he was. But that's a trope. Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: That is a you're moving a you know, attachments to friends and stuff are getting disrupted very often. So again, I think maybe he had security and stability with Tiffany, and then it was like too much. Yeah, he didn't deserve it or something like that. I kind of want them to get back together. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I know. Because you could tell he was over. And then she said, I love you. Right. Getting off the phone when she told him that she was engaged. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And she probably does love him, but. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Knows that she at least that version of Richie isn't good for her, which. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Is like I could see him having had a substance use problem. Maybe she went to Al Anon and started setting boundaries and had to say, can't do this. Oh, but I love him now. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So basically, I totally flipped. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Well, I'm glad you did. I was thinking about you. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Oh, my God. When he's jamming out to Taylor Swift. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I was thinking about you were like, yeah, of course it is. It is the love god, Richie. Yeah. Notable. So Carmee carme has some big, interesting factoids about his past. We see the development with Claire. We see the ultimate breakdown at the just it was fascinating. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It was so good. I'm glad we left him for the end, because there's so much to talk about. I just really want to give him a hug in that freezer. Yeah. Portia Pendleton LCSW: First of all, you're, like, cold. So cold. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: You're so cold. Portia Pendleton LCSW: They never showed that, you know what I mean? They didn't get, like, a shot. Oh, like the cold air coming out of the vent or whatever. So I wasn't even thinking it for a while. It's just like the chaos. He's missing the service. He's doing all this stuff. But imagine they're freezing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: There's, like, ice everywhere. They're very cold. I was like, how long has he been in here? Is he going to get hypothermia? But before we get to him stuck in the freezer, tell me more about your reaction to him over the season and how we see his character developing and him falling in love. Portia Pendleton LCSW: So I thought it was really interesting, even just the little bits that we got. So learning that he had never been to a party ever, I was like, he seems really almost hyper focused, wise, gets into something. Right. He was in chef school. That's it. There was no partying. There was nothing. He became a little obsessive about it. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And it's like, do you think it's because he likes it, or was it his ticket out of dysfunction? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Either or both. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, it's like, that's all he did. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Like, no girlfriends, no history. He's so kind of like one track minded. One track minded. Is that a coping skill? Right. So in order to not let the chaos in, even that clip, which I think was from season one, which we saw again in the freezer scene, when Joe McHale's, joel McHale role or boss chef, is just, like, dehumanizing him and saying these horrible things to him. It's like, how did he get through that? Did Mikey do that to him? Did Donna do that to him? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Oh, I'm sure Donna did that to him. I feel like he is a great example of an avoidant attachment. Like, knocked it on the head. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I think all along, Donna, I'm sure, talked to him the same way Joel McHale's character did, and he's, like, dissociated. He has maintained an emotional distance and avoidance to avoid so getting hurt. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Yes. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And just focusing on your career again. But I think he's just wanting his mom's love and approval by getting the Michelin star. But then he will never get it because it's not about her. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So he's just doomed, like the poor guy. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And he almost can't handle it. Having an emotional relationship with someone else. First of all, this is a wildly stressful time. Right. Like, he's opening a restaurant. There's so much pressure there's, so much. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Early, so much money. Portia Pendleton LCSW: True. But I feel like he internalizes that and to be like, see, I can't do this. I can't see someone. Yes. It's bad things. Like, this is a wildly stressful time. You could have forgotten the fridge guy anyway, right. I think Claire is good for him. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I totally do. And I think of anyone who would understand how much work and commitment and time it's taking. It's a resident physician who's, like, living. Portia Pendleton LCSW: At the hospital for their career. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I think of anyone who could understand it would be someone like her. I don't get the sense she was feeling, like, slighted or jealous or anything like that. Maybe because he had been making time for her, but I feel like she'd understand. I don't think he can imagine someone else, perhaps especially a woman, perhaps especially a romantic partner, could understand that he has his own needs, and that's okay, right? Because his mom has never, ever demonstrated that that was okay. So I don't think he knows how to do, like, even with friends or even with things like that. I don't think he knows how to do that. But I think he's capable of learning. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I think he's capable. I thought it was interesting, the scene with I think it was him and Sydney when she's asking him, like, well, how much do you love her? And he's like, well, I love her a lot. And she's like, okay, then you should be her boyfriend. You love her. Usually I don't know. Sometimes people date before love, right? No, you love her. You've also liked her for years, it seems like. So it seemed like almost one of the I would say more rare cases where it's like the guy is kind of not getting it. I think it's not because he is not that if he wanted to, he would. Right. I think he just has no awareness that you guys are dating and you love her and you should be together. It's like that never even crossed his mind that, oh, I should ask her out. He's like, how do I ask her out? Well, what does that look like? What does that mean? He has no idea. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: No idea. And I think he's so scared of that because even when they bump into each other, he gives her a fake number. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I love that she called him on it, like, multiple times. She was like, why did and finally he tells her, why did you give me a fake number? Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Yeah, that makes me a little nervous, because I think with someone like him, you need to go really slow and respect his boundaries, and that's going to be hard for him to open up. And so I just hope Claire could be patient with that and not intrusive, which I think would feel more like his mom. It broke my heart when she rushed to the freezer and heard everything he said, and then he heard her voicemail. Portia Pendleton LCSW: But I really because the voicemail was. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So like you even see in that scene, he throws the phone down. Portia Pendleton LCSW: He can't take it. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: It's too much for him. That's what I mean, is I feel like you have to tread a little lighter. Like, it's getting really intense really fast, it seems like. Again, I feel like the timeline is. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Like, over several months, so it's not. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Like in a week. But for him, someone who's never had a relationship, never had friends or anything, it's going to feel like a lot. And so I just am really curious to see how that all plays out. But I feel like, yeah, he just doesn't know how to. Have relationships because they've been so hurtful in the past. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And I don't think he would looking maybe to season three. I think he would need a lot of pushing, which could be good or bad, to apologize to her. Richie, they initiated that fight in the cooler because he's like, what did you do? Like, you finally had something good. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And he kept saying to him, like, you can have something like you're you deserve good. You can have good. And I feel like Carme couldn't even hear that. So he rages against him, and hugely. But that's what he has. That was such a good character. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Back to the fishes episode. Or to Donna specifically. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But Richie doesn't leave. I know. Richie stays and keeps saying, I love you. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I know. Oh, my God, I'm going to cry. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I know. Portia Pendleton LCSW: I could cry. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: I know. Portia Pendleton LCSW: It's been a long week. I'm a little overtired, so the emotions are free. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: But it's also so beautiful, though, because he's in so much pain. He's so stressed out. You can tell Carmen is just beating himself up. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Oh, my it's a self loathing. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: So huge. And Richie's just like, dude, we got it. We love you. Portia Pendleton LCSW: And they do. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: They have it because of him. He has instilled this confidence in them that is so beautiful, and I just want him to be able to find that for himself and find some balance, and I just really want that for him. Portia Pendleton LCSW: The little bit lighter moment in that final episode I was just laughing at was when one of the chefs is out there doing math. Oh, my know. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: And Marcus is like, I think I. Portia Pendleton LCSW: Have to fire you. Yeah, I'm going to go ask. And then he's talking, and they kind of repair him. And Sydney, in that moment, he's like, I know things are weird, but this is happening. And she's like, that's wild. He's like, I know. I literally said that's wild. And then she's like, yeah, I think you let him go. And it's just such a funny moment. They're like, yeah, right. Yeah, we should fire him. And then there's like, chef, whatever's, 86. And then they're like, yes, chef. Moving on. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: All the guest chefs. I love that Sydney's dad would say, good job, Chef. It's just so nice. I also love that the one doing the meth was like, what? Portia Pendleton LCSW: Over? Yeah, but maybe not in other restaurants that he's worked in, right? We also saw some talk. I was just kind of, like, thinking that we had mentioned, I think talking about the class of drugs with Ambien included. So when Carmen and Claire are at the party in an earlier episode, and that one guy who ends up getting arrested is like, yeah, I do a lot of ambient and steal self. Dr. Katrina Furey MD: Again, there is documented cases. Like, there's, like, peer reviewed scientific literature about ambient induced parasomnias that means, like, sleepwalking stuff. Like, when you're moving and doing stuff in your sleep so you don't realize you're doing it. Like eating, having sex. I think there

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are analyzing "The Bear" season 1. We meet the chefs and other restaurant staff this season and WOW, was anyone else's heart racing? We root for Carmy and the restaurant to be successful but see poor interpersonal skills, trauma, grief and trust issues impact everyone. Mikey's story line is tragic and unfortunately a common reality when mental health issues combine with substance abuse and financial troubles. Be sure to watch this show with some snacks, we hope you enjoy! Instagram TikTok Website Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hi, I'm Dr. Katrina Fieri, a psychiatrist. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I'm Portia Pendleton, a licensed clinical social worker. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And this is Analyze Scripts, a podcast where two shrinks analyze the depiction of mental health in movies and TV shows. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Our hope is that you learn some legit info about mental health while feeling like you're chatting with your girlfriends. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: There is so much misinformation out there, and it drives us nuts. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And if someday we pay off our student loans or land a sponsorship, like. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: With a lay flat airline or a major beauty brand, even better. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And your DSM Five and enjoy. We get started. We just wanted to include a trigger warning for this episode. This episode could include discussion about some themes and topics that might be upsetting, including, but not limited to things like substance abuse, suicide, self harm, disordered, eating, and harassment and assault. So if any of those topics are too upsetting, we totally get it. Please feel free to skip this episode and join us next week. Otherwise, we hope you enjoyed. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Hi. So we are back again with another episode, and we are going to refer to each other today as, like, yes. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Drink, yes shrink, yes, chef, cousin, cousin. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Whatever kind of comes to mind. We're not going to be swearing and putting each other down. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Hopefully not kind of abusive, which we. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: See a lot in the show. The Bear, which you're coming today. Season one, kind of blew up recently over the summer. I definitely had not heard about it last year. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I hadn't really either. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was all over, like, TikTok. A couple months ago, Jeremy Allen White. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Is all in the news because he got a divorce. And I don't know all the details about it, but it seems to be, like a hot. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, yeah. People really like. So what how do you want to start talking about this? First, I would like to say that my blood pressure was so high, I'm making this up. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Okay. You weren't, like, checking it? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: No. Watching some of these episodes, this level of stress that I was feeling, and my heart was racing, I was like, I feel like I'm back in a restaurant, and I'm not. Okay. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, you worked in a restaurant too at some point, right? Yeah, I did too. Only for, like, six months. Like, in between college and med school, I took a year off to apply, and it was really stressful. I worked in a Mexican restaurant. It's closed now, unfortunately, one of the owners embezzled money and went to federal prison. Fortunately. But I was trying to get out of this other job, and so when I applied, I said I was available for all shifts. So I got all the lunch shifts and made, like, no money, and I would have to come in early and clean, like, literally move the heavy tables, clean the windows. It was, like, a lot of hard work. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's like, labor, labor, physical labor. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I lost a lot of weight because you're, like, running around all day. And I'll never forget my last day was Cinco de Mayo. I was like, I have to work Cinco de Mayo. Right? I'll never forget. The floor was, like, so sticky with tequila. It was a good restaurant. The food was really good. But at the pre shift meeting, one of my coworkers was like, hey, guys, I got Adderalls. Does anyone want one? And all these people took Adderall. And I was like, I'm good. I'll be okay. I don't know. It really shocked me. But then I guess in watching this show, and I don't know if in your training, you learned that there's a lot of mental health issues in the restaurant industry. Because I learned that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. I mean, I think it seems like and of course, we're generalizing here, but in my experience, and even hearing from clients who work in the restaurant industry, there is so much substance use. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And with that often comes mental health issues. I'm just curious about who ends up in the restaurant industry. Right. I think you have to be really personable. You're really friendly, energetic. Energetic, I would say. And I think this is like, a little bit of just like anecdotal information. I feel like it's often kind of you have a little bit of ADHD. You're good, right? You can BOP brunch the 100% environment for you because it's so stimulating and. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It'S so quick, fast moving. I totally agree. And I think a lot of young people, I think, work in restaurants or bars or things like that when you're younger. But then I think you're right that there is a lot of substance use. I think there's, like, erratic hours does. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Not help mental health, sleep. And then I think people often might, in that example that you provided, will take something to help stay up. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And then oftentimes, once the restaurant closes, shifts over, I think people go out for drinks. Or then there's, like, substance use with downers, kind of. I think, like we said, it is really hard work. Like, physically demanding. I think the pay can be good, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Depends. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Depends. It fluctuates, and you don't really get benefits, so there's a lot of stress. It's certainly like, when we think about what are, like, risk factors, I guess, for mental health conditions, there's a lot of environmental risk factors just right there. And then you're also dealing with people who are hard to deal with. Right? Like, you have demanding customers, people complaining you're not doing it fast enough. There's a mistake. I can't imagine, right? Like, just all the complaints you have to deal with in a personable, happy way. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And now I always think about everyone having sensitivities or allergies right to foods and how many requests we're making. I do make one request, but I'm just thinking about how complicated things are now. Everyone at a table could be like, okay. And I've been at a table before where it's like, every single person has a something, and I'm just like, oh, man, it's just so much more work. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Than just accommodating like, a regular taco salad. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's like, no cheese on this one, no meat on this one. We have to leave out the taco because it's corn based so much. It's a lot, and I think the pressure for certain people gets to them, and I think that's why we see. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Also just, like, a lot of abuse yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: With the hierarchy within the kitchen, and it can get really ugly. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. So when I started watching the Bear preparing for this, unfortunately, Hulu just, like, auto played the last episode of season two. I didn't get through the whole thing. We got through maybe the, like, ten or 15. No, I know. And then we're watching it, and I'm like, am I supposed to understand who these characters are and how they relate? And then all of a sudden, my husband noticed, and I was like it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Was like, s two, like, episode ten or something. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I was like, oh. So I felt like I had, like, a preview. Not in a great way, but then it's like, I don't think it's going to spoil all that much. So then we restarted it. But even in season one, we sort of see these flashbacks of Carme right. Played by Jeremy Allen White, the main character who worked in a really fancy like, they kept saying, the best restaurant in the world, and we saw Joel McHale. I was surprised to see in, like, a dramatic role. Do you know who Joel McHale is? Did you ever watch The Soup? No. Okay. Again, I'm older than you, but I. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Know I didn't like. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't love him. No offense. That's okay to him. If you're listening, that's okay. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Does he have any weird outcomes? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I just don't think he's funny. No. To me. And maybe he is now, but I remembering watching The Soup and being like, not your thing. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's fine, but yeah, dark, like, abusive. And it was very hierarchical, like, almost like the military. It kind of reminded me of and you have to go up the chain and sort of that kind of thing. In prepping for this episode, I did some quick research, and it does seem like the restaurant industry hospitality has very high rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and harassment, which I think makes sense, like, if you've ever worked in one. And then I think this show really accurately portrays that. Like, you were saying in watching it, your heart rate is high, your blood pressure is high, you feel stressed, and you're like, God, it is a lot. It's a lot. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I mean, when they had finally implemented the to go, oh, my gosh, and they didn't notice that they had done, like, preorder selection, and it was just, like, coming out of the machine. I was just I felt like, I mean, a good acting, good storyline sucked me in. I don't know if it's because I can, like, I have some restaurant experience, but I was just like it's like a trauma response. So some people freeze, some people flee, and other people freak out and fight. Whoa. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Interesting to see everyone's individual response. And carmi just freaked. Like, it was almost I felt like his explosion of pent up emotion. Right. I feel like his sister Sugar had been saying, you're not expressing things. And he wasn't really he was really holding it in, and then it just all exploded. Like, he couldn't take it anymore. I was really proud of Sydney and Marcus for walking away and being like, we don't tolerate know I didn't see that coming, but I was really proud of them for doing that. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I think what I thought was interesting was when we see Carme working at that Michelin star restaurant, and he's being right, like, verbally berated saying all these horrible things to him. I thought it was so interesting because Sydney and, like, have a similar experience with working at higher end places. They know, yes, chef. Behind you, chef, all that stuff. So Sydney, in one of the later episodes when she is accidentally a stabs richie in the behind. But also, you see her absolutely berating him. Right. She's like, you're a loser, your kid, your partner. And I think for her, that almost felt like she was so horrified, almost, that that's how she had become in this place. Right. Because her and Carmen talked about how horrible that was, and then she did it, and it's like, place brought it out of her. Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's like the abuse becomes the abuser, which we see. I'm thinking more along the lines of children who grew up in abusive environments and then sort of take on those behaviors in adulthood. It's reminding me of that. Yeah. And I feel like she couldn't it was really sad. And when she was sitting there at the lockers, and he was like, are you okay, chef? And she's just like, no. And it's like, no, you're not. You're right. And she has to walk away. And I think you're right. I think it was a combo of Carmen berating her, but then her doing that too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. And losing it, and right. They are these experts, and she's holding the knife right out. No intention right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Of like yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: First she's waving around, but then she's pointing it out, and he just, like, turns like, you don't ever walk with a knife pointing out. That stuff can happen. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Exactly. Right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And you can stab someone in the a fatty tissue place where it's, like, less right, right. Whoa. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And so, again, it's just like, how did all that come to be? Was it, like, stress? Was it trauma? Probably a mix of everything. Also, like, Richie I don't like him. There have been very few characters so far in all the shows and movies we've watched, which is quite a bit by now, where I really don't like them. Like, the whole time I'm watching it, I'm trying to find something redeeming. And since I did see the first. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Ten minutes of the final episode of. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Season two, and I see what role he assumes and he's behaving a little differently, spoiler alert. It's not much of a spoiler, but still, I kept trying to find something redeeming about him, and I had a really hard time. What about you? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think that I really did not like him until the last episode, and I wouldn't even say I like him. I feel like I just have empathy for him. I feel sorry for him. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Why? That's where I struggled. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I feel like he is so broken. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I want to know nothing story. Maybe we learn it because they said in season two read an article that was like, season two gets right with the only thing that season one got wrong, which is like, there was no backstories for anyone. We didn't know anything about anyone. And so I'm wondering if we get his because I'd be so curious. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It just seems like he's. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And why he was really hearing what Sydney was saying when she's calling him a loser. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I feel like he feels like he's. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: A loser, and he's a loser in every way. And then he talks about his daughter saying to his ex or her mom, right. Like, he's bad news, Richie or something. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I just feel like that's more. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I feel bad. I don't like him. I don't want to be his friend by any means. I don't want him to be around him. But I just feel sorry for yeah. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I kept wanting to feel sorry for him and trying to access that empathy, but I had a really hard time. And again, I hear what you're like. It seems like before Mikey died by suicide, richie was, like, the head guy, like, maybe the manager, or like, he was, like, running the show. And then I think to have Carme and Sydney come in, like, out of Sydney, a younger girl, a younger black girl, which, again, maybe that's not intentionally getting under Richie's skin, but maybe it is. We don't really know yet. But again, I could see how that would threaten his ego, because this is. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: All that he has. And then he kind of says that at the end, right when Carmen picks him up from the jail, which I thought was really interesting. And this is a little bit of a sidebar, but I think it's so risky, little PSA, to ever be in a fight with someone that's physical, because we all talk. Oh, someone says something to you. Everyone's drunk in a bar. A bar fight, right? Someone gets punched in the face. It doesn't seem crazy, but it's like the wrong hit you could fall. You hit your head, you can die. And it's like now it's literally manslaughter. And it's like things can escalate so quickly where it's like it's not just like right, a punch in the schnaws or getting pushed. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's like hitting your head wrong on the curb. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yes. I'll never forget and I'm going to talk very loose circumstances here, but witnessing someone hit someone and they fell and they hit their head on the curb, that's scary. They got up. But I know another instance that I did not witness but happened at my college. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Even like if you're super intoxicated and you fall the wrong way right. You could die. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, it's really know. And I don't know if it's just like I respected and this is such a stretch. I respected Richie for completely owning that he was the one that did he there was, you know, because it was messy. Right. Everyone's pushing, pushing. And there was no question he was going to take the and I think that's also when he comes out, he's like, no, this is all I have. I would do anything for you. It seems like they connect. I'm curious to see in season two how that plays out. I'm hoping that that's like a change then for Richie. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But up until that episode, I was so irritated with him. He just kept messing everything over and over. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's what I mean. And I do think that's like the perfect depiction. And I'm like I am really curious. And I hope we do learn more about his backstory because I wouldn't be surprised if he had, like if I'm making it up. Really critical parents, like one parent who's really critical, one who's absent, whether it's because of substance abuse or like a father left or something like that, that's setting him up to never feel good enough. So he's going to keep trying, keep trying. And then he just gets to the point where it's still never good enough and he starts getting in his own way. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like he just kept messing up. Yes. Like when they did the kid's birthday party and he doesn't bring the ketchup. Right. His Xanax. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Oh my God. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And the drink and all the kids pass out and no one calls the ambulance. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I was like, waiting for your take on that. I was just like, dying. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: When they just show, all the kids. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Pass and the guy right? They're like mobster uncle is like, well, this is preferable, to be honest. Because he's like annoyed, right? Kids suck. Kids are annoyed. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Kids are annoyed. At least they're quiet. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I was like, are they breathing? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Has anyone put their fingers under their nose to see? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Is their breath? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Oh my God, I can't believe no one called the police or the is. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Such a bare minimum, and you're going to be like, you're crazy. But I was kind of pleasantly surprised that Carmen told him. Right? I feel like, it could have been like, oh, because you could literally go to jail for that. Again, not intentionally, but you could go to jail. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Maybe you should. Right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So the fact that he told him. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I was like, okay, at least have. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: A moral compass in there. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Get somewhere in there, I guess. Yeah, but then no one does anything. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: But I was thinking would have been in there, right? Let's talk about that. Because it looks like it was one bottle. So were they like, bars? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's how Xanax comes, right? I don't remember what the dose was. So Xanax is the trade name for Elprazolam, which is a very short acting benzodiazepine. Incredibly addictive, right? That's why most people don't prescribe it, hopefully, except in very specific circumstances, like flight phobia or something like that, where you only need a little relief for a little bit of time. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You're not getting prescriptions every month for it. It's like you're getting ideally, right? Like, once a year should be enough. I think providers feel comfortable with that. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Depending on the situation. I think, unfortunately, it is really abusable. And the reason it's so abusable is because it is so short acting. So it hits your system really quickly, like, within 30 minutes or so, you feel so good, you feel a lot calmer, but then it's out of your system really quickly, too. So then you're like, oh, I need more, I need more. And thus starts the cycle of dependency and addiction. And again, I specifically use those words because there's a difference, right? You can become physically dependent on a medication like this. Like, your brain gets used to it. If you don't have it, you develop withdrawal symptoms. You need more. You can have that without perhaps being addicted. But again, they kind of go hand in hand, I guess. But with addiction, you also think of it as like, okay, then you start doing riskier things to obtain it, right? Like, you might start stealing, or you might start obtaining it illicitly, like, on the street, or you might be spending a whole lot of time trying to find it at the expense of work or spending time with your family. There's a lot of criteria that go into addiction, but you can also be physically dependent on I mean, that is like, one of the main criteria, too. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And I believe right. You can die from the withdrawals from. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: A benzo 100% class. Yes. Benzos act on the GABA receptors in the brain, very similar to alcohol. So it's also incredibly dangerous to mix benzos with alcohol. When you're intoxicated with both, what can be fatal is the respiratory depression. Basically, you start breathing so slowly that you could stop breathing. And that's what I was worried about with these kids, just, like, sleeping. I was like, is anyone making sure they're breathing and they're getting enough oxygen to their brains? Like, these little kids getting whatever the adult dose is. I mean, it looks like the whole bottle got in there somehow. Who knows how much is in there was so dangerous. And then if you are addicted or physically dependent on alcohol or benzos and you just try to quit cold turkey, that's also potentially fatal because you can develop seizures and cardiac instability. So, like, really high blood pressure, really high heart rates, you could have a stroke, you could die. So it's really dangerous. I was very uncomfortable with that whole. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Like, you need a medical detox, right, versus, like opiates. It's a horrible detox, but you can stop. You won't be very sick, you won't die. But a couple of kids, and I say kids because they were under 18, who I worked with in a residential program, if they were abusing benzos, they would still be on them, right? So they would come in and they'd receive a lower and a lower dose versus some of the kids who were on opiates, they would be very sick or they would have been in a very fast detox like in the hospital. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I did a lot of detoxing when I worked at the VA in residency, and I did a lot of time in the emergency room there. So that was like one of the main things we saw. And you're totally right that alcohol or benzodiazepine detox is medically necessary. Like you could die. And that was like one of the hardest conversations to have with patients when they would get to day two. And of course they're waiting for a bed because we don't have enough access to treatment in the whole country. We've already talked about this. But by day two, they're starting to feel cravings. They want to get out of there and we have to have the discussion like you're just starting the detox. We still don't know which way it's going to go. There's like risk factors and algorithms we can keep in mind to help predict it, but we just don't really know. You could get delirium tremons, which is potentially fatal. I mean, it's really scary and a lot of times they would leave against medical advice and probably start drinking again, which is very sad. But then in other ways you're like, well, I guess it mitigates the risk of death from an unsupervised detox, but it's really risky. But you're right. With opiate withdrawal, that's where the phrase cold turkey comes from. It feels like the worst flu of your life. It's incredibly painful to go through, but it's not medically dangerous. So in either way, like with benzo or alcohol withdrawal, we do taper using the benzos. And then you can also give other medications to help with other symptoms to help make people more comfortable. And then with opiate withdrawal, some places will start, like Suboxone once you're a couple of days out to make sure there's enough out of your system where it doesn't plunge you into a worse type of withdrawal. But then you also give other agents to help make people feel more comfortable. So that too, it's like ideal if you can do a medical detox, but not medically dangerous if you're just trying to quit, like, on your own. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Circling back now to restaurant employees right. Often not having insurance. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And being or I think, too, what's interesting now is with a lot of credit card tips right. That is on the books versus cash tips. So it's like they pay taxes on right. So you could be, I think, right on the line with, like, you don't make a ton, but you also don't qualify for Medicaid or full Medicaid. So I just think there's a lot of people that are underinsured or not insured who specifically work in this field of know with with sometimes raging substance use issues and mental health issues. It's just like a perfect storm. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. And I mean, most detoxes would be at least five days. So when you're imagining, like, in restaurants, you often do, I think, live day to day in terms of your income. It's not predictable. You're not going to have short term leave or things like that. It's really hard to think, like, I'm going to take five days away and somehow pay for this treatment and make up for not and then come back. The same environment. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's really tough. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. I was just thinking about Mikey in that and just like, it seemed like he was struggling for a while with opiate abuse, and some people knew, some people didn't. And that was kind of really eating at Carme for not knowing. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. So what did you think about Mikey's story and then this show's depiction of addiction and grief and people reacting to someone's suicide. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I thought it was good. I thought it did a good job of showing multiple reactions and responses, which I think hits the nail on the head with everyone will respond differently. I think if we look at it in kind of a black and white way, like, some people shut down, other people have really big reactions immediately. So it's like right. Someone if you're picturing at a funeral, which is kind of morbid, there's people who are, like, wailing and visibly upset for weeks. Tanya from Lettuce. Yes. And then there's people who are just totally shut down right. Haven't cried at all. And that doesn't mean that they're not processing it or grieving, but I'd say because they might be doing it at home. But if you're not doing it at all, I think then sometimes there's a bigger reaction that comes out later, which we see with Carmen kind of starting to lose it or some of his other symptoms, which I was curious to get your take on with some of the nightmare being sleepwalking. Right. And in his apartment earlier on, it seems like he's having a horrible time sleeping, which isn't helping any of his symptoms. And then at the end, we see, right. Him kind of what appears to be maybe he's, like, dissociating when he tries to light a cigarette and then the whole stove catches on fire. Two different things, I feel, like, all around fire, too. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, I mean, I think you're totally right. Portia this show, I thought, again, another expert portrayal of grief, and I think the complicated grief that comes from losing someone to suicide, of all things. Like, just how many questions are know Carmen? No one saw a note until the very end, and it's still in my mind. It's like, Was that a suicide note? I think so. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it was meant to be, but it wasn't, like, by the know, maybe not by Mikey, but it just. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Wasn'T it wasn't clear. And I think in the know, it sounds like Mikey and Carmee, they were brothers, right? They sort of bonded over cooking. And then Mikey goes on to open the Bear, but then won't let him. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Eat the beef store. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Sorry, the beef, but then won't let Carmen work in it. And that created a really big rift in them. And I think we still don't really understand why he wouldn't let him in. I started wondering, was there some connection to organized crime? It seemed like Richie maybe had a connection. And those feuding groups on the corner that Sydney placated with the sandwiches and even, like, the Uncle Jimmy, I was like, Is he a like, is that why Carmen wasn't he was trying to keep him away? Or was there something like, is that how Mikey got introduced to Opiates? There were a lot of questions for me, but then that was, like, a real wedge in their relationship. And it sounds like in the very last episode with Carmen's Monologue at Al Anon, first of all, how moving was. But then we finally start learning some of this backstory, and it sounds like that almost, like, fueled Carmen's desire to show, like, just achieve know, really escalate to the best of the best, to be like, you're lost, dude, and then gosh, how complicated and confusing for carme to lose your brother in that way. And then learn that he left the restaurant, that he'd never let you work into you, and you have to leave your position at this best restaurant in the world to come here. Like, Whoa. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And also was and maybe it didn't feel like a choice, but that was his choice, that a lot of people were like, what are you like, you didn't need to come back. I think Richie was upset that he was coming back and taking over. I think the staff initially were all. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Upset that he was, because it seemed like the like, Tina Ibrahim, like, all the staff, it seems like, had been there for that. They forever, right? And then all of a sudden, you have Carme coming in out of nowhere again, this white guy. A lot of the staff. Were people of color. And then he hires Sydney, this young girl, and they're like cleaning everything up, operationalizing things. And I could imagine and we see how the old crew reacted and we're like about it. Yeah, exactly. But then eventually they do warm up to it. And I did think at the beginning, Carme was really respectful in terms of saying, we call each other chef. We have high standards. This is what you need to do well. And at first, they weren't really believing it. Like the family dinners I thought were so I never had that at the. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Restaurant I worked at. Right. I was like, Where did this come from? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: This is really nice. We all have dinner before it's. Like, that's really nice. I think eventually it did help them sort of get on board. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: But it took a while, especially with Tina. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And know, it seemed like Tina kind of bought know after a little bit with Carmee, but then it was really like an interesting dynamic watching her and Sydney, and then Tina pretending not to speak English, like, here and there. And Sydney's like, I know you can you just were doing it and calling. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Carme Jeff instead of Chef. Just all these slight jabs. I can't remember what it was that finally got her to come around, but eventually she did with Sydney. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It was something with the potatoes, right? So, like, Tina didn't burned something or something and then Sydney already had it going, but didn't criticize. Tina was like, just get it over with, do it. And Sydney was like, no, it's fine. And then she complimented her later. And then I think Tina was like, okay, we're good. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. Sydney kind of like, helped her out instead of rubbing her nose in it. But getting back to, I think what you originally asked me about grief, I also thought it was interesting that I was like, is there a gender dynamic here? Because his sister seems to be more openly grieving or at least talking about the death. She's like, trying to get him to go to Al Anon, which to me suggests she's going to Al Anon and then Carmi is really closed. And I I think you could say that might be a more stereotypical man reaction. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I'm sure it depends on generalizing, super. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Generalizing, like, depends on different families structures and dynamics and stuff like that. But I think what is that old phrase? What is it we talk about a lot with trauma? Like what you won't remember eventually comes out or something. What you try to avoid thinking about eventually comes out, whether you like it or not. Death of anyone can be very traumatic, but I think a suicide in particular is very traumatic for all the people involved. And it sounds like in Mikey's case, it's like, was it planned or was it impulsive? Right? Like, was he intoxicated and had a mean it's not really clear until we find the note, right? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't know. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: What did you think? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it was unclear. I mean, I think I could go on the one hand with him stashing the money for so long. Was he planning on ending his life for that time, or was that just like a side project of him? Just like, stashing all this money away to avoid taxes? To avoid taxes or in the end to give to Carme? I don't know. Was his plan like, okay, Carme is going to be this amazing chef, and then we're ready for him, we're going to have all this money? Or was it like, I know I'm going to die? I don't know. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's a weird spot to leave a suicide note, right? Usually I feel like if someone does leave a note, it's with the body, like it's nearby. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Do you think it was maybe, though, supposed to be in a locker and fell out? Like, maybe, like, Carmen's locker from years ago? Because that was my question. Why was it behind lockers, the lockers on the floor? Had it fallen somewhere? Was it supposed to not be there? I don't know. Did he mean to bring it with? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's what I mean. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: How could anyone find that? Someone could have easily thrown it away, could have easily gotten damaged by water or something. It just was so risky. And also right. If you're leaving someone, like, $300,000, you want that to get to them. So that was just strange. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It was strange. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Why do you think Richie put it back? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I think at that time, when he first found it, he was still really mad at Carmen for coming in. In this season, we really see how the landscape of Chicago, the landscape of their neighborhood, the landscape of the restaurant itself is changing. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Gentrified. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yes, exactly. And I think Richie's like having an identity cris and not on board, and I think he was just at that time, really mad at Carmen, didn't want to help him along. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I guess this is where my little thread of empathy comes out. It's like he could have thrown it out. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's very true. Why did he put it back? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Put it back. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: That's actually a nice point, Portia. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I don't and there's million different reasons why, but I'm thinking maybe it was because not right for Carmen. But he couldn't do that to not. He's he wasn't just being this huge. Ahole. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There was just something in there. I don't think it was he was looking out for Carmen. He didn't think Carmen was ready. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I don't know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Maybe. But there was something. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: You're so right. He could have thrown it. Oh, okay. Now I'm feeling something for him. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: You're right. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Like, he definitely could have, and he didn't. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Just interesting. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah. That's really making me think. Really making me think. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: So we know from past episodes how important sleep is, right. And how the lack of sleep can literally bring someone right to have some psychosis. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Yeah, and mania like sleep is the biggest trigger of a manic episode. Psychotic episodes, for sure. I've seen a lot of first breaks in college. Students who were flying internationally didn't sleep on the plane. That's what brought it out, finally, which. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Is what you said, that I am good because I went to Europe and I was up for like 48 hours and I'm fine. I was like, that's a really good sign. You don't bipolar disorder in Portia winning in some ways here, but also in. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: The restaurant industry, like other industries, too, like if you're working third shift or other things like that, it is so disruptive to your sleep. And I think the high energy, fast paced environment of restaurants makes it really hard, even when you get home to fall asleep. I think that is why so many have a drink after work or take another substance like Xanax to try to calm their brain down. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's also so bright in the kitchen. You know what I mean? It has to be, but the lights are so fluorescent. It's so bright and shiny in a cleaner restaurant. I was impressed at how much they were cleaning. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I was very happy. I think, again, that's, like, where Carme comes in and is like, this is unacceptable, even if we're like a sandwich, like, let's have high standards for ourself. And I thought, that's a nice way to live as long as the standards aren't impossibly high. But I think it does. And we saw that it did lead to feelings of self efficacy and pride in your work. But yeah, certainly you hope all the restaurants are that clean. I sort of doubt they all are. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think it's so funny, like, being kind of near New York and going and right. And seeing the know, just kind of how they showed in Chicago, because they don't do that in the like I'm sure there's, like, a public health infected, but they don't have that in the. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Window, which I just think is so, like and it was interesting, like, when they didn't get a good grade, and he's, like, blaming Richie, but then it turns out it was his fault. That's like another time where he was sort of like kind of I did, I think at least in the initial time where he was setting his apartment on fire, they both felt dissociative to me. And I think that's part of his trauma response. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Just like trying to keep putting 1ft in front of the other, but you're not processing what you're feeling, and it will inevitably come out and sort of that's how it was coming out at the end with the fire in the kitchen. At first I thought, is he going to intentionally let the restaurant burn down and be like, okay, now it takes care of it. But then everyone sort of grabbed the fire extinguisher and took care of it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, that was an intense scene. So, like with Mikey's suicide, I think we kind of talked a little bit around the edges here. But suicide, I would consider is like a complicated loss, right? So there's some losses that are really uncomplicated. Like losing a grandparent in a natural way, right? It's like it's sad and can be really life shattering, but it's expected. It's like the natural way of life. And those losses are typically more easy to process, just like as a human. But then these complicated losses, like losing a child as a parent or losing a parent when you really suicide exactly. Or really unexpected deaths are complicated. And it doesn't mean that this is way harder or it's a much bigger loss, but it's just a different loss. And I think it can make it harder to process. And I would really say specifically with suicide, because there are so many times that people somebody does die by suicide, the people who are left right, are often like, what did we miss? How did I not see this? How could I have stopped it? And there's so many of those lingering questions that we don't ask ourselves when again, it's like a grandparent has an attribute loss. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And sometimes you ask yourself those questions right. In the grieving. Like, when we think about grief, that is a common, universal human experience right. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: There'S the what stage would that be like? Bargaining. Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So there's Elizabeth Kubler Roth has her five stages of grief theory shock, denial, bargaining, anger, acceptance. We don't think of people as moving through those stages linearly. Like, you can feel things at the same time. You can go back and forth. But those are like, the universal emotions all humans feel. When you're grieving in the field of mental health, then we sort of think about, okay, what's like a typical grief reaction versus, like, a complicated grief reaction? And again, it's not because we're trying to have grief Olympics where one person is worse than the other. It's just grieving. A suicide is very complicated, and I think it is traumatic. I think a lot of people develop trauma reactions or even post traumatic stress disorder when these things happen. And I think you hit the nail on the head portia that it leaves so many questions and people when you're faced with an unimaginable trauma, you try to make sense of it. And a lot of times that leads you to blaming yourself. And that's where really good therapy is important. And sometimes you can find that, like in Alanon, which is the sort of what would you call it? Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's for people who have been impacted by people with substance use. So someone who is struggling themselves currently or in the past, who goes to know that's typically for them, and then maybe their brother, their sister, their parents would go to Al Anon, right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: Exactly. And it can be a really healing, helpful place. And finally carme started. I was I remember, like, midway through the season when things were really stressful. He's like, I have to go. I have to go to a meeting. And then Sydney was like, you just left us here. And they finally sort of connected over it, remember? And then she was like, Chef, that's too much. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And he's like she's like, I'm just kidding. But yeah. I think to lose anyone by suicide has got to be devastating and traumatizing and so hard to cope with. So there are resources out there. I mean, in terms, of course, your own individual therapy, but Nami, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, certainly has a lot of resources available to people who have lost loved ones by suicide. I would imagine that feels lonely, right. Hard for someone to talk to their friends about, or their family about, if they haven't gone through it. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think there's a lot of perceived and it might not be real or not, but like, perceived judgment from others. I know that a lot of parents who have lost teens to suicide really feel like there's a lot of judgment on them for they should have known, they should have stopped it. So I think it's really hard to reach talk to people who haven't experienced it, and what a wonderful way for a very horrible thing to occur. But if you can find a group with other shared experience, it can be so helpful and such a safe space. Right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And I think it's really scary to start attending a group. Whether it's group therapy or a support group, I think it can be really scary. And that's totally normal if you're feeling like that. I always try to encourage my patients, just go sit in the back and just see, test it out. You don't have to say anything, just see what it's like. And I always say not everything's going to stick. Especially things like AA. There's a lot of resistance to it from different people. And some people don't identify with the religious aspect. There are non religious AA groups out there these days. But I always try to tell people, like, go take what works and leave the rest. You don't have to accept everything to find some healing or benefit from some of the things. But there are, I think, nami, and I'm sure, other groups out there with support groups or people who've lost loved ones to suicide. I think that's a uniquely terrible way to lose someone you love. And especially when there's substance abuse, too. It's just even murkier, right? And you could see these characters really be like, how did we not see it? Should I have done more? And it's just I think a lot of the healing and therapy comes from just exploring that with people and trying to help people not blame themselves. But it's really it is really hard. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It's heartbreaking and it's hard. And not to deter anyone from going to see a therapist, but it's hard as a therapist to sit in that. I think grief is hard because there's no really clear treatment plan based on time, right? It's like, okay, well, we should be processing this better now. Sometimes it's shorter and other times it's so long and grief is challenging. And I know even additionally to that, a lot of clients who are a support for someone who is going through grief, it's so hard just to sit and be there because we want to make people feel better, right? We want to get people okay and feeling happy and positive and sometimes it's just not we can't do that yet and we just have to wait. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And that's hard. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: It is hard as a provider and it's hard as obviously a person who's not a provider. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: And sometimes when people do die in very tragic ways, it is hard to bear witness and sit with someone in that suffering. But it's so important. And again, I think that's where it's really important for therapists to also know their own limits or have their own support system, right? We're all supporting each other. But you're right, it is really hard to bear witness to grief, I think, as we wrap up. Isn't it interesting that thus far in our podcasting journey, there have been some common themes of shows that are big hits in society and a lot of them are about like, we talked about shrinking, we talked about succession season four with Logan's death. Now we have the like I think, again, that just speaks to how grief is such a universal experience and we all can connect to that. Yeah, that's a good know. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: I think a lot of people resonate with tough topics and whether it's we're seeing it done in a comedic way or really dramatic and intense way, it's like everyone knows someone who knows someone or themselves who struggled with substance use. Everyone knows someone is someone who struggled with grief. And it's just like, again, these universal experiences that I think it can be really helpful to have a media or write some content out there that helps you cope, whether you're crying through a show or laughing through a show 100%, right? Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: It's like a way of connecting and experiencing it or feeling less alone, right. I think we're all wanting to feel like someone out there understands what we're going through. And even if it's not, or most of the time it's not the exact same experience, but these shows really let you know, like, okay, the writers, the creators, the actors, they're all doing such a good job because they know in some intimate way and then whoever's watching it can also feel understood. Even like the whale, everything, everywhere, all at once. Like everything. These themes are coming up again and again and I think these expert portrayals of it are just so great to have. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: And that's why they're nominated, right? That's why also these are successful. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: So it's really interesting. I'm excited to see where season two. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Leads now that you have maybe a little window into some things. I'm excited to watch it too. I'm looking forward to it. I was laughing because I started episode one, season one, and I was like, trying to get my husband to come watch it. And he was like, oh my gosh. And he has restaurant experience too. And he was just like, I don't know if I can watch this. And I was like, it's really intense. I don't know. Anyway, but thanks for listening to our episode today on The Bear, season one. We will be covering season two at some point, so stay tuned. Dr. Katrina Furey, MD: I think next month. Portia Pendleton, LCSW: Yeah, so we're excited.

This sermon was preached at Covenant Bible Church on the Lord's Day, July 9th, 2023 by lay-elder Connor Hensley “But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.” ‭‭Joshua‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

With family: Joshua 7; Psalms 137–138 Joshua 7 (Listen) Israel Defeated at Ai 7 But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the LORD burned against the people of Israel. 2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men went up and spied out Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not have all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not make the whole people toil up there, for they are few.” 4 So about three thousand men went up there from the people. And they fled before the men of Ai, 5 and the men of Ai killed about thirty-six of their men and chased them before the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them at the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became as water. 6 Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they put dust on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord GOD, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? Would that we had been content to dwell beyond the Jordan! 8 O Lord, what can I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it and will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will you do for your great name?” The Sin of Achan 10 The LORD said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction.1 I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you. 13 Get up! Consecrate the people and say, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the LORD, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.” 14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. And the tribe that the LORD takes by lot shall come near by clans. And the clan that the LORD takes shall come near by households. And the household that the LORD takes shall come near man by man. 15 And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he has done an outrageous thing in Israel.'” 16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17 And he brought near the clans of Judah, and the clan of the Zerahites was taken. And he brought near the clan of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken. 18 And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel and give praise2 to him. And tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” 20 And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels,3 then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.” 22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath. 23 And they took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. And they laid them down before the LORD. 24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent and all that he had. And they brought them up to the Valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, “Why did you bring trouble on us? The LORD brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel stoned him with stones. They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones. 26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then the LORD turned from his burning anger. Therefore, to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.4 Footnotes [1] 7:12 That is, set apart (devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction) [2] 7:19 Or and make confession [3] 7:21 A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams [4] 7:26 Achor means trouble (ESV) Psalms 137–138 (Listen) How Shall We Sing the Lord's Song? 137   By the waters of Babylon,    there we sat down and wept,    when we remembered Zion.2   On the willows1 there    we hung up our lyres.3   For there our captors    required of us songs,  and our tormentors, mirth, saying,    “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!” 4   How shall we sing the LORD's song    in a foreign land?5   If I forget you, O Jerusalem,    let my right hand forget its skill!6   Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth,    if I do not remember you,  if I do not set Jerusalem    above my highest joy! 7   Remember, O LORD, against the Edomites    the day of Jerusalem,  how they said, “Lay it bare, lay it bare,    down to its foundations!”8   O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed,    blessed shall he be who repays you    with what you have done to us!9   Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones    and dashes them against the rock!

Footnotes [1] 137:2 Or poplars [2] 138:2 Or you have exalted your word above all your name [3] 138:3 Hebrew you made me bold in my soul with strength (ESV) In private: Jeremiah 1; Matthew 15 Jeremiah 1 (Listen) 1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, and until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month. The Call of Jeremiah 4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5   “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,  and before you were born I consecrated you;  I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” 7 But the LORD said to me,   “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth';  for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,  and whatever I command you, you shall speak.8   Do not be afraid of them,  for I am with you to deliver you,      declares the LORD.” 9 Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me,   “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.10   See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,  to pluck up and to break down,  to destroy and to overthrow,  to build and to plant.” 11 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond1 branch.” 12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” 13 The word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.” 14 Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north disaster2 shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold, I am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the LORD, and they shall come, and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah. 16 And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17 But you, dress yourself for work;3 arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. 18 And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you.” Footnotes [1] 1:11 Almond sounds like the Hebrew for watching (compare verse 12) [2] 1:14 The Hebrew word can mean evil, harm, or disaster, depending on the context; so throughout Jeremiah [3] 1:17 Hebrew gird up your loins (ESV) Matthew 15 (Listen) Traditions and Commandments 15 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,' and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.' 5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”1 6 he need not honor his father.' So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word2 of God. 7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: 8   “‘This people honors me with their lips,    but their heart is far from me;9   in vain do they worship me,    teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'” What Defiles a Person 10 And he called the people to him and said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” 12 Then the disciples came and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” 13 He answered, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up. 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides.3 And if the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.” 15 But Peter said to him, “Explain the parable to us.” 16 And he said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled?4 18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20 These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone.” The Faith of a Canaanite Woman 21 And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.5 Jesus Heals Many 29 Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there. 30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, 31 so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel. Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand 32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33 And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?” 34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

Old Testament: 1 Chronicles 5 1 Chronicles 5 (Listen) Descendants of Reuben 5 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn, but because he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel, so that he could not be enrolled as the oldest son; 2 though Judah became strong among his brothers and a chief came from him, yet the birthright belonged to Joseph), 3 the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. 4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son, 5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son, 6 Beerah his son, whom Tiglath-pileser1 king of Assyria carried away into exile; he was a chief of the Reubenites. 7 And his kinsmen by their clans, when the genealogy of their generations was recorded: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah, 8 and Bela the son of Azaz, son of Shema, son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, as far as Nebo and Baal-meon. 9 He also lived to the east as far as the entrance of the desert this side of the Euphrates, because their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead. 10 And in the days of Saul they waged war against the Hagrites, who fell into their hand. And they lived in their tents throughout all the region east of Gilead. Descendants of Gad 11 The sons of Gad lived over against them in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah: 12 Joel the chief, Shapham the second, Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan. 13 And their kinsmen according to their fathers' houses: Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jacan, Zia and Eber, seven. 14 These were the sons of Abihail the son of Huri, son of Jaroah, son of Gilead, son of Michael, son of Jeshishai, son of Jahdo, son of Buz. 15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, son of Guni, was chief in their fathers' houses, 16 and they lived in Gilead, in Bashan and in its towns, and in all the pasturelands of Sharon to their limits. 17 All of these were recorded in genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel. 18 The Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh had valiant men who carried shield and sword, and drew the bow, expert in war, 44,760, able to go to war. 19 They waged war against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. 20 And when they prevailed2 over them, the Hagrites and all who were with them were given into their hands, for they cried out to God in the battle, and he granted their urgent plea because they trusted in him. 21 They carried off their livestock: 50,000 of their camels, 250,000 sheep, 2,000 donkeys, and 100,000 men alive. 22 For many fell, because the war was of God. And they lived in their place until the exile. The Half-Tribe of Manasseh 23 The members of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land. They were very numerous from Bashan to Baal-hermon, Senir, and Mount Hermon. 24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher,3 Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty warriors, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses. 25 But they broke faith with the God of their fathers, and whored after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God had destroyed before them. 26 So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, the spirit of Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and he took them into exile, namely, the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the river Gozan, to this day.

Selah Footnotes [1] 3:2 The meaning of the Hebrew word Selah, used frequently in the Psalms, is uncertain. It may be a musical or liturgical direction (ESV) New Testament: Matthew 5 Matthew 5 (Listen) The Sermon on the Mount 5 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. The Beatitudes 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons1 of God. 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that2 they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Christ Came to Fulfill the Law 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Anger 21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.' 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother3 will be liable to judgment; whoever insults4 his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!' will be liable to the hell5 of fire. 23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. 26 Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny.6 Lust 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. Divorce 31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.' 32 But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Oaths 33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.' 34 But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes' or ‘No'; anything more than this comes from evil.7 Retaliation 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' 39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic,8 let him have your cloak as well. 41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. Love Your Enemies 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers,9 what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

These are the men of Recah. 13 The sons of Kenaz: Othniel and Seraiah; and the sons of Othniel: Hathath and Meonothai.6 14 Meonothai fathered Ophrah; and Seraiah fathered Joab, the father of Ge-harashim,7 so-called because they were craftsmen. 15 The sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam; and the son8 of Elah: Kenaz. 16 The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel. 17 The sons of Ezrah: Jether, Mered, Epher, and Jalon. These are the sons of Bithiah, the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered married;9 and she conceived and bore10 Miriam, Shammai, and Ishbah, the father of Eshtemoa. 18 And his Judahite wife bore Jered the father of Gedor, Heber the father of Soco, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. 19 The sons of the wife of Hodiah, the sister of Naham, were the fathers of Keilah the Garmite and Eshtemoa the Maacathite. 20 The sons of Shimon: Amnon, Rinnah, Ben-hanan, and Tilon. The sons of Ishi: Zoheth and Ben-zoheth. 21 The sons of Shelah the son of Judah: Er the father of Lecah, Laadah the father of Mareshah, and the clans of the house of linen workers at Beth-ashbea; 22 and Jokim, and the men of Cozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and returned to Lehem11 (now the records12 are ancient). 23 These were the potters who were inhabitants of Netaim and Gederah. They lived there in the king's service. Descendants of Simeon 24 The sons of Simeon: Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul; 25 Shallum was his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son. 26 The sons of Mishma: Hammuel his son, Zaccur his son, Shimei his son. 27 Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brothers did not have many children, nor did all their clan multiply like the men of Judah. 28 They lived in Beersheba, Moladah, Hazar-shual, 29 Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30 Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag, 31 Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susim, Beth-biri, and Shaaraim. These were their cities until David reigned. 32 And their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan, five cities, 33 along with all their villages that were around these cities as far as Baal. These were their settlements, and they kept a genealogical record. 34 Meshobab, Jamlech, Joshah the son of Amaziah, 35 Joel, Jehu the son of Joshibiah, son of Seraiah, son of Asiel, 36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah, 37 Ziza the son of Shiphi, son of Allon, son of Jedaiah, son of Shimri, son of Shemaiah—38 these mentioned by name were princes in their clans, and their fathers' houses increased greatly. 39 They journeyed to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks, 40 where they found rich, good pasture, and the land was very broad, quiet, and peaceful, for the former inhabitants there belonged to Ham. 41 These, registered by name, came in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and destroyed their tents and the Meunites who were found there, and marked them for destruction to this day, and settled in their place, because there was pasture there for their flocks. 42 And some of them, five hundred men of the Simeonites, went to Mount Seir, having as their leaders Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi. 43 And they defeated the remnant of the Amalekites who had escaped, and they have lived there to this day.

Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 “I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” The Baptism of Jesus 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him,3 and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son,4 with whom I am well pleased.” The Temptation of Jesus 4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written,   “‘Man shall not live by bread alone,    but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,   “‘He will command his angels concerning you,' and   “‘On their hands they will bear you up,    lest you strike your foot against a stone.'” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,   “‘You shall worship the Lord your God    and him only shall you serve.'” 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. Jesus Begins His Ministry 12 Now when he heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: 15   “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,    the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—16   the people dwelling in darkness    have seen a great light,  and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death,    on them a light has dawned.” 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”5 Jesus Calls the First Disciples 18 While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”6 20 Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22 Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. Jesus Ministers to Great Crowds 23 And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction among the people. 24 So his fame spread throughout all Syria, and they brought him all the sick, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

With family: Numbers 26; Psalm 69 Numbers 26 (Listen) Census of the New Generation 26 After the plague, the LORD said to Moses and to Eleazar the son of Aaron, the priest, 2 “Take a census of all the congregation of the people of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, by their fathers' houses, all in Israel who are able to go to war.” 3 And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho, saying, 4 “Take a census of the people,1 from twenty years old and upward,” as the LORD commanded Moses. The people of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt were: 5 Reuben, the firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben: of Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochites; of Pallu, the clan of the Palluites; 6 of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites; of Carmi, the clan of the Carmites. 7 These are the clans of the Reubenites, and those listed were 43,730. 8 And the sons of Pallu: Eliab. 9 The sons of Eliab: Nemuel, Dathan, and Abiram. These are the Dathan and Abiram, chosen from the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah, when they contended against the LORD 10 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up together with Korah, when that company died, when the fire devoured 250 men, and they became a warning. 11 But the sons of Korah did not die. 12 The sons of Simeon according to their clans: of Nemuel, the clan of the Nemuelites; of Jamin, the clan of the Jaminites; of Jachin, the clan of the Jachinites; 13 of Zerah, the clan of the Zerahites; of Shaul, the clan of the Shaulites. 14 These are the clans of the Simeonites, 22,200. 15 The sons of Gad according to their clans: of Zephon, the clan of the Zephonites; of Haggi, the clan of the Haggites; of Shuni, the clan of the Shunites; 16 of Ozni, the clan of the Oznites; of Eri, the clan of the Erites; 17 of Arod, the clan of the Arodites; of Areli, the clan of the Arelites. 18 These are the clans of the sons of Gad as they were listed, 40,500. 19 The sons of Judah were Er and Onan; and Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. 20 And the sons of Judah according to their clans were: of Shelah, the clan of the Shelanites; of Perez, the clan of the Perezites; of Zerah, the clan of the Zerahites. 21 And the sons of Perez were: of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites; of Hamul, the clan of the Hamulites. 22 These are the clans of Judah as they were listed, 76,500. 23 The sons of Issachar according to their clans: of Tola, the clan of the Tolaites; of Puvah, the clan of the Punites; 24 of Jashub, the clan of the Jashubites; of Shimron, the clan of the Shimronites. 25 These are the clans of Issachar as they were listed, 64,300. 26 The sons of Zebulun, according to their clans: of Sered, the clan of the Seredites; of Elon, the clan of the Elonites; of Jahleel, the clan of the Jahleelites. 27 These are the clans of the Zebulunites as they were listed, 60,500. 28 The sons of Joseph according to their clans: Manasseh and Ephraim. 29 The sons of Manasseh: of Machir, the clan of the Machirites; and Machir was the father of Gilead; of Gilead, the clan of the Gileadites. 30 These are the sons of Gilead: of Iezer, the clan of the Iezerites; of Helek, the clan of the Helekites; 31 and of Asriel, the clan of the Asrielites; and of Shechem, the clan of the Shechemites; 32 and of Shemida, the clan of the Shemidaites; and of Hepher, the clan of the Hepherites. 33 Now Zelophehad the son of Hepher had no sons, but daughters. And the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 34 These are the clans of Manasseh, and those listed were 52,700. 35 These are the sons of Ephraim according to their clans: of Shuthelah, the clan of the Shuthelahites; of Becher, the clan of the Becherites; of Tahan, the clan of the Tahanites. 36 And these are the sons of Shuthelah: of Eran, the clan of the Eranites. 37 These are the clans of the sons of Ephraim as they were listed, 32,500. These are the sons of Joseph according to their clans. 38 The sons of Benjamin according to their clans: of Bela, the clan of the Belaites; of Ashbel, the clan of the Ashbelites; of Ahiram, the clan of the Ahiramites; 39 of Shephupham, the clan of the Shuphamites; of Hupham, the clan of the Huphamites. 40 And the sons of Bela were Ard and Naaman: of Ard, the clan of the Ardites; of Naaman, the clan of the Naamites. 41 These are the sons of Benjamin according to their clans, and those listed were 45,600. 42 These are the sons of Dan according to their clans: of Shuham, the clan of the Shuhamites. These are the clans of Dan according to their clans. 43 All the clans of the Shuhamites, as they were listed, were 64,400. 44 The sons of Asher according to their clans: of Imnah, the clan of the Imnites; of Ishvi, the clan of the Ishvites; of Beriah, the clan of the Beriites. 45 Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the clan of the Heberites; of Malchiel, the clan of the Malchielites. 46 And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah. 47 These are the clans of the sons of Asher as they were listed, 53,400. 48 The sons of Naphtali according to their clans: of Jahzeel, the clan of the Jahzeelites; of Guni, the clan of the Gunites; 49 of Jezer, the clan of the Jezerites; of Shillem, the clan of the Shillemites. 50 These are the clans of Naphtali according to their clans, and those listed were 45,400. 51 This was the list of the people of Israel, 601,730. 52 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 53 “Among these the land shall be divided for inheritance according to the number of names. 54 To a large tribe you shall give a large inheritance, and to a small tribe you shall give a small inheritance; every tribe shall be given its inheritance in proportion to its list. 55 But the land shall be divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. 56 Their inheritance shall be divided according to lot between the larger and the smaller.” 57 This was the list of the Levites according to their clans: of Gershon, the clan of the Gershonites; of Kohath, the clan of the Kohathites; of Merari, the clan of the Merarites. 58 These are the clans of Levi: the clan of the Libnites, the clan of the Hebronites, the clan of the Mahlites, the clan of the Mushites, the clan of the Korahites. And Kohath was the father of Amram. 59 The name of Amram's wife was Jochebed the daughter of Levi, who was born to Levi in Egypt. And she bore to Amram Aaron and Moses and Miriam their sister. 60 And to Aaron were born Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 61 But Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD. 62 And those listed were 23,000, every male from a month old and upward. For they were not listed among the people of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the people of Israel. 63 These were those listed by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who listed the people of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. 64 But among these there was not one of those listed by Moses and Aaron the priest, who had listed the people of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai. 65 For the LORD had said of them, “They shall die in the wilderness.” Not one of them was left, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

Of David. 69   Save me, O God!    For the waters have come up to my neck.12   I sink in deep mire,    where there is no foothold;  I have come into deep waters,    and the flood sweeps over me.3   I am weary with my crying out;    my throat is parched.  My eyes grow dim    with waiting for my God. 4   More in number than the hairs of my head    are those who hate me without cause;  mighty are those who would destroy me,    those who attack me with lies.  What I did not steal    must I now restore?5   O God, you know my folly;    the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you. 6   Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me,    O Lord GOD of hosts;  let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,    O God of Israel.7   For it is for your sake that I have borne reproach,    that dishonor has covered my face.8   I have become a stranger to my brothers,    an alien to my mother's sons. 9   For zeal for your house has consumed me,    and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.10   When I wept and humbled2 my soul with fasting,    it became my reproach.11   When I made sackcloth my clothing,    I became a byword to them.12   I am the talk of those who sit in the gate,    and the drunkards make songs about me. 13   But as for me, my prayer is to you, O LORD.    At an acceptable time, O God,    in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.14   Deliver me    from sinking in the mire;  let me be delivered from my enemies    and from the deep waters.15   Let not the flood sweep over me,    or the deep swallow me up,    or the pit close its mouth over me. 16   Answer me, O LORD, for your steadfast love is good;    according to your abundant mercy, turn to me.17   Hide not your face from your servant,    for I am in distress; make haste to answer me.18   Draw near to my soul, redeem me;    ransom me because of my enemies! 19   You know my reproach,    and my shame and my dishonor;    my foes are all known to you.20   Reproaches have broken my heart,    so that I am in despair.  I looked for pity, but there was none,    and for comforters, but I found none.21   They gave me poison for food,    and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink. 22   Let their own table before them become a snare;    and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.323   Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,    and make their loins tremble continually.24   Pour out your indignation upon them,    and let your burning anger overtake them.25   May their camp be a desolation;    let no one dwell in their tents.26   For they persecute him whom you have struck down,    and they recount the pain of those you have wounded.27   Add to them punishment upon punishment;    may they have no acquittal from you.428   Let them be blotted out of the book of the living;    let them not be enrolled among the righteous. 29   But I am afflicted and in pain;    let your salvation, O God, set me on high! 30   I will praise the name of God with a song;    I will magnify him with thanksgiving.31   This will please the LORD more than an ox    or a bull with horns and hoofs.32   When the humble see it they will be glad;    you who seek God, let your hearts revive.33   For the LORD hears the needy    and does not despise his own people who are prisoners. 34   Let heaven and earth praise him,    the seas and everything that moves in them.35   For God will save Zion    and build up the cities of Judah,  and people shall dwell there and possess it;36     the offspring of his servants shall inherit it,    and those who love his name shall dwell in it.

To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Suffering as a Christian 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory2 and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And   “If the righteous is scarcely saved,    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”3 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.
