This episode offers encouragement and practical advice for dads who want to lead well—even when they're still learning themselves.You can't raise godly children if you haven't learned to be a godly son.

Erin and Matthew break down Episode 7 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, bringing us closer to the highly anticipated finale. As the series approaches its climactic end at At-Aton, our hosts dive deep into the shocking revelations about Jod's true nature and the mysterious vault planet's secrets.What turned Jod from a potential ally into the show's main antagonist? The hosts explore this dramatic shift as they discuss his brutal actions, including the shocking decapitation of SM33 and his cruel taunting of the children. They examine whether his past and possible connection to the Jedi Order might explain his antagonism toward the "sheltered and spoiled" kids of At-Aton.Why is At-Aton so significant in the Star Wars universe? Matthew and Erin unpack the revelation that this secretive world serves as a Republic vault planet, complete with rare Deerity coins and strict protocols for receiving emissaries. They question the timeline of these diplomatic visits and debate the effectiveness of the planet's security measures.Key topics discussed:The parents' desperate attempt to send a distress beacon and their encounter with the unnervingly polite security droidsThe significance of "claimsies" and the pirate code in the children's escape attemptHow Jod's possession and use of a lightsaber changes our understanding of his characterThe possibility of SM33's survival despite being decapitatedParallels between Skeleton Crew and classic 1980s adventure filmsThe show's accessibility to casual Star Wars fansComparisons to other pirate-themed media like Black SailsNo bonus content this week **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Erin, Alex, and Matthew dive deep into Episode 3 of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, exploring the mysterious planet of At Atan and its connection to an ancient system of legendary treasure worlds. The hosts share their excitement about how the show continues to deliver a great blend of adventure, humor, and mystery.What makes Jod Na Nawood's force abilities so intriguing? The hosts debate whether he's a former Jedi padawan or simply someone with natural force sensitivity using it for his own gain. They discuss how his character brings a fresh perspective to force users in the Star Wars universe without necessarily connecting to Order 66.How does At Atan fit into the larger Star Wars galaxy? The hosts unpack the fascinating revelation that it is one of six legendary planets known for their incredible wealth, and the only one that managed to successfully hide itself from raiders. They explore the implications of a society that knows about the Republic but remains mysteriously isolated from galactic events.What makes the parent-child dynamics in Skeleton Crew so compelling? The hosts analyze the touching scene where parents react to their children's disappearance, highlighting how the show portrays diverse family structures naturally and meaningfully while maintaining focus on the emotional core of the story.Other topics covered:The impressive performance of the child actors, especially Neil's actorThe introduction of Khymm, the mysterious owl-like characterThe significance of the Star Wars Holiday Special easter eggThe functionality of the ancient ship and its possible importanceThe tense chase sequence with New Republic X-wingsSM33's memorable confrontation with JodThe hosts conclude by celebrating how Skeleton Crew manages to tell a unique story within the Star Wars universe while maintaining its own identity, comparing it to Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy in terms of its distinct tone and style. This episode highlights why Skeleton Crew continues to surprise and delight both longtime Star Wars fans and newcomers alike. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, a The Ethical Panda Podcast, and part of the Tru Story Podcast Network.

Episode 139:Last time ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona' gave us a look at second comedy from Shakespeare's early phase as a playwright. As you heard certain elements in the plotting of the play and execution of its denouement make it problematic, but nevertheless it showed early promise. The lyrical nature of much of the language used in that play is quite typical of the earliest comedies and it is probably not coincidental that this was around the time that Shakespeare was writing his long lyrical poem ‘Venus and Adonis', so we might assume that his mindset at the time was that of a lyrical poet, and maybe we see that influence still in his probable next work, the much more accomplished play ‘The Comedy of Errors', which has remained one of the more popular Shakespeare comedies since its first performance. The Source for the play and changes Shakespeare made to itThe original text of the playThe dating and earliest performances of the playFoul PapersThe setting as a Roman street with three housesA Synopsis of the playThe serious and long opening exposition.The importance of a dramatic opening sceneSocial commentary in the playAdriana as a well-developed character for a light-hearted farceAntipholus of Ephesus as an unpleasant character, but toned down from the source materialAntipholus of Syracuse as a more sympathetic characterThe punishment of the Dromio twinsThe view of authority in the playThe problems with the plot (if we take it too seriously)The soliloquies of Antipholus of SyracuseLuciana and the expression of the value of traditionWhat should we read into the very ending of the play?Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

“How many on the list?”A Slow-Burn Descent into DarknessBen Wheatley's second feature film, Kill List, was released in 2011 to critical acclaim. The film follows Jay, a former soldier turned hitman, as he takes on a new job with his friend Gal after a traumatic event in Kiev leaves him unable to work for eight months. As Jay and Gal begin their new assignment, they quickly realize that there is more to their targets than meets the eye, and they find themselves embroiled in a dark and twisted conspiracy.Unraveling the Mysteries of Kill ListIn this episode of The Next Reel, we dive deep into the many layers of Kill List. We discuss how the film slowly reveals information about Jay's past and his work as a hitman, keeping the audience guessing until the very end. We also explore the film's shift from what's been described as a kitchen sink drama to a hitman story and finally to a cult conspiracy, and how Wheatley ties all of these elements together in a satisfying way – at least for us.Throughout our discussion, we highlight the incredible performance of Neil Maskell as Jay, a man struggling with trauma and rage. We also touch on the film's exploration of masculinity and the ways in which Jay's inability to express his emotions leads to violence and destruction.Other Points of DiscussionThe film's references to Arthurian legend and how they relate to Jay's characterThe twist ending and its impact on the storyThe relationship between Jay and his wife Shel, played by MyAnna BuringThe relationship between Jay and Gal, his best friend and co-worker, played by Michael SmileyThe film's use of violence and how it serves the storyKill List is a film that feels like one that will reward us on multiple viewings, as each watch hopefully will reveal new clues and connections that we may have been missed the first time around. While the ending may be polarizing for some viewers, we found it to be a satisfying conclusion to a story that keeps you guessing until the very last frame.A Must-See for Fans of Slow-Burn ThrillersOverall, we thoroughly enjoyed Kill List and its slow-burn approach to storytelling. Ben Wheatley and his wife/co-writer Amy Jump craft a tense and unsettling atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and the performances from the entire cast are top-notch. If you're a fan of films that take their time to unravel their mysteries and leave you with plenty to think about after the credits roll, then Kill List is definitely worth checking out.

We are looking today at Genesis 3 and the ways that the serpent tempted Eve and Adam...through this lesson we pray you will become better equipped in your understanding of the ways the serpent will tempt you as well.The serpent tempts through a lack of knowledge of what God says. The serpent tempts from humans putting words in God's mouth.The serpent tempts by prompting to think of the immediate instead of the consequenceThe serpent tempts by getting you to focus on facts about God as opposed to his characterThe serpent tempts by convincing you that knowledge and wisdom are synonymousPreached by Jaren Singh on 1/8/23

David has over 20 years of experience as a nationally published columnist. He is also an accomplished keynote speaker, stage presenter, and seasoned marketer. David has spent the last 15 years of his career helping other people come up with story-based marketing strategies that stand out in their respective marketplaces, laying the foundation for future connections. As a certified StoryBrand guide, David and his team employ the StoryBrand framework to create a communication strategy and zero in on the story their clients use to attract and retain customers. David has always been the kind of guy who simply likes taking complex things and making them easy, which contributes significantly to his success. In the field of sales. He believes that everyone is involved in sales in some form. It's amazing how many people find it difficult to do it for commercial success and is not able to explain the complexity to potential customers or clients to help them close deals.He lost his wife around twelve years ago and after rising from the pit, he came to the conclusion that life is so short, and that he will restrict himself to only do the things he likes. He started a full-time marketing company rather than doing marketing on the side as a hobby. After managing the practice for a while, someone recommended Don's book to him. He read it and thought it was fantastic and started using it on himself and other individuals. He has been a StoryBrand-certified guide for almost four years now and has seen a major change in the way he interacts with clients. It changed the method he used to help clients rethink their message. He knows that they are more important now than they have ever been in markets because there is so much noise and so many channels through which people attempt to sell. StoryBrand is a fantastic community to be a part of. Everybody is there to help each other. The psychologist by the name of Daniel Conneman has devoted his professional life to supporting the idea that humans do not make choices using their prefrontal cortex. It's highly unlikely that other how-to manuals begin with this. Studies have revealed that humans make decisions using a very small portion of the pre-frontal cortex, which is known as the amygdala. That region of our brain is responsible for thinking and feeling.Our prefrontal cortex will naturally look for a rational explanation when we hear a story written with emotion and this is what prompts a prospective client or customer to act and start working with you. They encourage people to imagine the story's main character when they take them on the journey as a result. Additionally, the primary character mentions a need or want three times, indicating that they already possess it. The internal level is what you say to yourself in a manner of self-talk, the external level is what you say to your family and friends, and the philosophical level is the most important level of all when it comes to persuading someone to change. You must develop a story that appeals to the audience's emotions and pulls them in.In this episode:[03:52] Being a StoryBrand certified guide changed how David interacts with clientsOvercoming the noise in the marketplaceThe importance of creating the marketing message [05:37] Starting at an interesting place that not a lot of other guides start withCrafting a story with emotion to move prospects or clients to work with youExplanation of the external level, the internal level, and the philosophical level[06:56] Guide and craft their story where they're the main characterThe...

Has your life gone precisely as you would have chosen? In one way or another, we all would probably answer that question with a resounding “no.” It's no secret that life can be unpredictable. The plans we dream about and make don't always become our realities. When that happens, we can feel let down, disappointed, and lost.My guest, Kristen Clark, understands this better than most people. She believes joy does not come from getting the life you always dreamed of. Instead, it comes from trusting God with the life He has for you and believing that His plans truly are good.Kristen and her sister, Bethany Beal, are the founders of Girl Defined Ministries. They are also the authors of several books, including Girl Defined: God's Radical Design for Beauty, Femininity, and Identity, and their most recent book, Not Part of the Plan: Trusting God with the Twists and Turns of Your Story.In this episode, you'll hear:Kristen's journey walking through several miscarriages, unexplained infertility, and overcoming expectations around adoptionWhy it is important to have a clear understanding of God's characterThe danger and disappointments of expectationsHow we can trust God with the futureAnd more!I loved talking with Kristen, and this conversation is such an important one.

On episode 62 I talk with Charles Phillips, Founder & CEO of Sawa Credit. Sawa Credit is creating a community debt servicing technology platform to help the underserved pay their bills so they don't lose their homes.Keeping people in their homes can have a profound impact, not only on the individual household but also on the community. Sawa ensures people stay in their homes with the help of the community.The concept dates back to Charles's childhood when his father ran the local church. He was able to offer help to his local community through the church. That sense of community is what drives the mission of Sawa. Charles and I discuss the impact of George Floyd's murder on Sawa's founding story, why the community should be the 5th C in accessing credit, paying it forward, credit scoring and the credit systems, raising capital, and a whole lot more.Without further ado, I present Charles Phillips, Founder & CEO of Sawa Credit. I hope you enjoy the episode and be prepared to learn:Charles's journey to Sawa CreditThe meaning behind the word SawaThe impact of his father and how he ran the local churchThe importance of communityThe 5 C's of creditThe credit scoring system and characterThe partnership with Comment Cents LabThe underserved debt market is $140bn annuallyHelping to crowd out predatory lendersHow to get people talking about money with good informationRaising capital"Be quick but don't hurry""Plan B is no plan"Recommended reading: The Once and Future King by T.

There is a lot of advice about how to outline a story on the internet, and almost all of it was it was useless, so I stopped trying to wade through it. Like it's just bad content marketing run amok. So I'm going to give you the most useful ways I know to understand stories. The keys to the kingdom as I understand them. And trust me, not a single one of them is "Use mind mapping software."Let's say you want to understand a story. A book, a movie, graphic novel, TV show, play, series of tweets, radio drama... could be anything? How do you do it? You read it, of course, but that's not enough. Because stories have a kind of magic. They transport us to another place. And, if they are well constructed, we get swept along by them in a way that makes it difficult to analyze how they work while they are working on us. In fact, if you're watching a movie and you notice something like the beginning of the third act, chances are it's not a very good movie. Because when it's good, you're so engaged, you don't even think about that kind of stuff.So, I think, to really understand a story, you have to outline it. And that means, reading or watching it again, and writing down the bare bones of what happens. There is simply no wrong way to do this. Should you use a spreadsheet, or a notepad or index cards or mindmapping software? The answer is yes. Whatever makes it easy for you, because, whatever tool you use, you will learn something. And that's the point.So everything I have to say from this point forward is just to make it more profitable for you to do. See there are two reasons to do this. You want to write something of your own.You want to enjoy every story you encounter more. And, for me, #2 is by far the better reason. You're increasing the value of every story you're going to encounter for the rest of your life. That's what I call leverage.Stories can be tricky and the process can be confusing -- especially if you've had one too many English classes recently -- So I'm going to arm you with some of the conceptual tools I use to make things clear.Principle #1 -- Any story is a system of systems.So think of the elements of a novel. Dialog, character, symbolism, description, narration, plot, chaptering, paragraphing, setting -- it could go on and on and on. There are many, many ways to combine those elements to create a good novel. And no two authors do it the same way and no two authors should.So, in your outline, only pay attention to the systems that are interesting to you. If you don't see any great symbols, don't go looking for them. It's not a box you have to check off. What you want to understand is one level up from that. How all these systems work together.PlotOutlining a plot is as simple as writing down what happens in the beats of the story.Luke wants to join the rebellionThe droids run offLuke chases the droidsLuke is attacked by Sandmen and rescued by Obi-Wan KenobiAnd from that list, you can begin to understand the story.If you get stuck on what's important in a scene or why it matters, you can always ask, what happens if you don't have that scene in the story? There's a lot of other ways you can [[analyze a scene]], that's going to have to be a video of its own, but most of the time if you just get the basic beats of the story down, many new things about the story will become clear and that's what you want.Here are the questions to start asking of the plot?What started the story rolling? How did the character get into this mess?What does the character want?What happens if the character doesn't get it?From this list of beats, you want to get THREE things. External Story, Internal Story, and Theme.First, what's the external story. For Star Wars, the external story is blowing up the Death Star/defeating the Empire.The second thing you want to understand is the internal story. What does the character need psychologically, inside themselves, to be whole? Luke has to learn to trust himself and his abilities to reach his full potential. To use the Force Luke.And the third thing is the theme? What's the value that every scene or almost every scene turns on? That ties the whole thing together. The theme of Star Wars, loosely, is believing in something bigger than yourself. And while Luke's story resolves powerfully on this theme when uses the Force to blow up the Death Star, so too does Han Solo's story. He doesn't believe in the Force, or the Rebellion or anything. He bails out of the fight with the Death Star because he has a price on his head. He's looking out for himself. But he changes and we see this in action when he comes back in the end to save Luke so he can blow up the Death Star. So you might say, the theme is "Only when we believe in something bigger than ourselves can evil be defeated."GenreI think the most important thing you can know about any story is what genre it is in. People interested in literary fiction have looked down on genre fiction, but that prejudice certainly doesn't stop literary fiction from being its own genre. And what a genre does is set the reader's expectation of how things should be in the story. It's a set of conventions that the writer must deal with.Genre conventions are conventions about the way the systems of story interlock. Some of these conventions are obligatory scenes. Every thriller needs a daring escape scene. And a hero at the mercy of the villain scene. But these conventions extend to everything. Certain symbols or lines. A Bond movie isn't a Bond movie without spy gadgets, and a cool car, a scene with tuxedoes and evening gowns and the lines, "Shaken not Stirred" and "Bond, James Bond."Genre even extends to permissible themes. A romance novel cannot have a theme that denies that love is possible and still be a romance novel.FormClosely related to Genre is the form a story takes.Stories only have a limited number of forms. You could say there are five or seven or ten basic plots, and still be right. It's all in how you slice them. But if you think there are 50 basic plots, you are wrong. It may be an indefinable number, but it's finite and it's small.So it's also very useful to try to fit the story you outline to one of these structures.Dostoyevsky said there are only two plotsPerson goes on a journeyStranger comes to townChristopher Booker worked on his book Seven Basic Plots for 34 years and came up with these.Overcoming the MonsterRags to RichesThe Quest Voyage and ReturnComedyTragedyRebirthBlake Snyder, in his book, Save the Cat identified these 10 plots for film.Monster in the HouseGolden FleeceOut of the BottleDude with a ProblemRites of PassageBuddy LoveWhydunitThe Fool TriumphantInstitutionalizedSuperheroSo Cowboy Movie is a genre that includes many forms of story Unforgiven is a Voyage and Return story. And you could say it was a kind of Buddy Love. The Searchers is a Quest or Golden Fleece. Sci-Fi Movie is a genre that also includes a wide range of story forms. Alien is Overcoming the Monster or Monster in the House. You don't have to use either of these schemas for story form. Just have a good sense of what other stories the story you want to understand is like. If you say it's unlike any other story -- you haven't understood the form. CharacterThe last very easy thing to do when outlining is to make a list of major characters and look at how they stack up against each other. What's their function in the story and what would happen if they weren't there? What stance do they take on the theme? In Star Wars, Han Solo rejects the theme, then comes around in the end, enabling Luke to blow up the Death Star. He's the skeptic. And that kind of character is very powerful in fantasy novels. Because that character grants us permission to enter the reality. If it's all zealots and true believers in a fantasy world, it's harder for us to suspend disbelief. So Han Solo isn't just there to be cool, and he isn't just transportation for Luke, you lose a lot of meaning if you take his character out. And that's it. Well, I mean it's not everything. Outlining a story certainly can be more complicated than that, but it doesn't have to be. Just write down the beats and ask a few questions and a whole new world will open up to you. Even if you never write anything of your own, outlining a story will help you to enjoy and appreciate every other story more. And that's worth something.

Chala Dincoy explains how individuals and businesses can differentiate and position themselves on the market and what mistakes they make when they are getting their message out. Also, you will learn how to pitch your ideas or your business.In the podcast she says:I help people do b2b these service based companies find a differentiator through a process called super niching, I started to niche down even further into becoming a niching coachNow I build myself as an elevator pitch coach, because three out of four business owners, when they do their elevator pitch, never get asked for a card or a meeting or their informationThere are three ways really to differentiate yourselfOne is by Super nichingThe second way is through a brand characterThe third way is to simply position yourself as an authority by getting out there and doing a lot of TV interviews and a lot of booksWe collaborate together to put together a hypothesis of what the possible pain points are for that industryIt boggles my mind when small businesses are just throwing spaghetti at the wall to figure out what they should say on their website, what they should say in their elevator pitchEven when people hire teams and teams of sales reps, if they can't sell themselves, no sales rep is going to be able to sell them as well as they sell themselvesOne of the main mistakes is that people are either refusing to pivot or they don't know what to pivot into

WEEK 4 - King of the UniverseApril 30th - May 6th, 2020 Day 28 - King of the NationsTherefore I will give thanks to You, O LORD, among the nations, And I will sing praises to Your name. (2 Samuel 22:50)Names of God: A Way to Understand His Nature and CharacterThe names of God are more than a distinguishing title, they represent the divine nature of God and His relationship with His people. God deserves reverence, awe and respect. The Psalmist says “holy and reverend is his name (Ps. 111:19). God has chosen to make himself known to us through the use of His names. All that God is and all that Elohim does can be understood in His many names.All this week we will be exploring the Kingship of our God and our Lord Christ Jesus. Kingship is the state or condition of being a king. a person or thing regarded as the finest or most important in its sphere or group. KEY SCRIPTURE: Numbers 6:22-27 (CEB)The Lord spoke to Moses: 23 Tell Aaron and his sons: You will bless the Israelites as follows. Say to them: 24 The Lord bless you and protect you. 25 The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you. 26 The Lord lift up his face to you and grant you peace 27 They will place my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them. Place: deposit, invest, put in a particular position, a distinct condition, or state of mind.I will Bless you with…Visitation - Glory - Fire!I will Keep you… watch over, guard, preserve or protect you!I will Make My Face Shine Upon You…We shall meet ‘face to face’ My Presence will be with you! My favor and grace will be upon you!I will be Gracious to you…show kindness, be merciful, and give you favor. Gracious: properly to bend or stoop in kindness to an inferior; to favor, bestow; causatively to implore (that is, move to favor by petition); (be) merciful.O people in Zion, inhabitant in Jerusalem, you will weep no longer. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. (Isaiah 30:19) vs. 18 says, Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; How blessed are all those who long for Him. The Tribe of SimeonSimeon was fifth tribe moving out – he was just plain mean; he often took revenge and become violent with people. He did whatever he thought was right in his own eyes. Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, "Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon. Genesis 29:33Simeon = “heard” The 2nd son of Jacob by his wife Leah and father of the tribe of Simeon. From Ancient Hebrew: To hear as well as to respond to what is heard.Simeon is associated with the Biblical month of Av (July/August).Jacob’s Blessing - A Disavowing of ActionsGenesis 49:5- 7 5 "Simeon and Levi are brothers; Their swords are implements of violence. 6 "Let my soul not enter into their council; Let not my glory be united with their assembly; Because in their anger they slew men, And in their self-will they lamed oxen. 7 "Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce; And their wrath, for it is cruel. I will disperse them in Jacob, And scatter them in Israel.Interesting Notes: It was Zimri, a member of one of the leading families of this tribe, who was slain by Phinehas in the situation at Baal-peor (Num 25:14). This tribe was not mentioned in Moses' blessing of the nation of Israel (Deut. 33). 1 Chr. 4:28-33 makes it appear that the tribe of Simeon had been assimilated into the tribe of Judah, thus fulfilling Jacob's prophecy (Gen. 49:5-7). No Blessing from Moses but Ezekiel gives a Redemptive ProphesyAlthough the descendants of Simeon disappeared as a tribe, Ezekiel mentions it in his prophecies about a future land of Canaan (Ezek. 48:24-25,33). The Book of Revelation also mentions 12,000 of the tribe of Simeon who were sealed (Rev. 7:7). The tribes of Rueben, Simeon and Gad were unruly and violent but God did not cut them off. Instead in His wisdom, He aligned them in a way that He could use their strengths and control their weaknesses. This group of tribes could easily be called God’s battle-axe brigade.I Will Bless THEM!NAME OF GOD / King of the Nations God was called King of Israel or King of Jacob and Jesus (Yeshua‘) was called King of the Jews. King of the nations is a name of God that indicates that His authority extends beyond a particular people throughout the entire world. https://namesforgod.net/king-of-the-nations/ Scriptures: Jeremiah 10:7; Revelation 15:3King of the nations in Hebrew: Melekh haggoyimJeremiah 10:6-7 6 There is none like You, O LORD; You are great, and great is Your name in might. 7 Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? Indeed it is Your due! For among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, There is none like You.King of the nations in Greek: Ho basileus tōn ethnōnRevelation 15:3 AMP 3And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, Mighty and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God the Omnipotent! Righteous (just) and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the ages (King of the nations)! [Exo 15:1; Psa 145:17]Revelation 15:3-4 3And they (victorious saints) sang the song of Moses, the bond-servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are Your works, O Lord God, the Almighty; Righteous and true are Your ways, King of the nations! 4 "Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED.” Desire of All NationsHaggai 2:6-9 (NKJV) 6 For thus says the LORD of hosts: 'Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,' says the LORD of hosts. 8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts. 9 'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."Blessing / Declaration of the Name:I put, pronounce, invoke and place the name of King of the Nations upon you! Yahweh, we give thanks to You, among the nations. O LORD we sing praises to Your name - You alone are worthy of our admiration!I say, Visitation - Glory - and Fire are coming to your house. I say, Yahweh is preserving and protecting the things that concern you. He is aware of all your concerns, so lay them at His feet…Yahweh’s favor, graciousness, kindness and mercy are being extended to you and yours. Yahweh is calling you! Come, He says, meet Me face to face - My presence will envelop you in these days.Yahweh, desires to hone your character so it will exemplify Jesus to the nations. So, if you are like Simeon prone be mean, take revenge or become violent with people, Repent! If you are like Simeon ‘one who does whatever he thinks is right in his own eyes’, KNOW it will cost you the greater portion of your inheritance. REPENT, beloved!Align yourself with My character and attributes for I desire for you to walk in ‘all’ of your promised land. I say, stand in awe of the King of the nations for there is none like Him. He alone is great, and great is His name. Hear of Nations: Wise men will fear and give Him homage to the King of the nations for there is none like Him. He is the sovereign of the nations; marvelous are His mighty works and righteous and true are His ways.I say, Beloved, the shaking you have seen throughout the earth is meant to bring My People, and the nations of the earth to the Desire of ALL Nations. The King of the nations is shaking the earth to prepare her for the latter glory. Fear not your financial standing says the King of the Nations for the silver and gold are Mine. I am repositioning it for My end-time harvest - I am well able to care for you and to release kingdom wealth into your hands. I say, shaking is producing the latter glory in My People (temple) who yield to Me. I will fill you, I will fill My temple, I will fill the nations with a greater portion of glory in these days. Says, the King of the Nations!

The Father Wound are insecurities that come from the shortcomings of our primary role model. Many myths show slaying a father figure (i.e. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader) because it represents a man being able to separate from his paternal shadow.

In this episode I talk about m o n e y and our relationship to abundance - specifically addressing feelings of guilt and how we potentially use 'spirituality' to bypass our relationship to money. I also address some of your questions about abundance+ capitalism, and interacting with resources, and I share some of my personal struggles and insights around money. Head's up: there is some explicit language in this episode, if you are sensitive to it.I discuss:Money is a resource that we all need to operateOur individual relationship to money and how we think about itSeparating how much money you have from your worth and your characterThe false dichotomy between being profitable and being of serviceHow I grew up feeling guilty about moneyMaking up for lack of money by being overly helpfulAbundance as the natural state of the earth's orderThe other things that make up Abundance besides moneyIs participating in Abundance causing harm?How it's not enough to resist a harmful systemThe problem of relegating “doing good” to non-profitUnconscious thinking holding us backThe 2 things I hear a lot in spiritual communities that I totally disagree withRedefining profitabilitySubconscious fears around impact + responsibilityAbundance is not something we manifest.ShowNotesSupport the PodcastLearn more about my new workshopsSubscribe to the homebody newsletterOnline yoga classesMary Grace's IGMary Grace's websiteSubmit a question for next solo episode --> hi@mgallerdice.comRha GoddessJoin us for a free class on Taking Care : Pillars for Creation, Circularity + Support — tools to help you design your life with more support and care built in, especially during difficult times.

CTH, Episode 58, D&D Old School/ New SchoolWarning: There is a special guest on todays show who may or not exact an inhuman amount of hilarity! Hint: We are at our quota for dwarves now! Welcome to the DDO Cocktail Hour where we discuss the social aspects of Dungeons and Dragons Online, Eberron Unlimited. This week we are joined by CTHs own Adan Maskery as well as the head of the CTH art department, Clankenbeard! We needed their help to dig into tabletop gaming! There is also quite a deep explanation of what completionist is, as well as the further planning of Samius Gurobos End of The World Comprehensive Power Point Presentation! Listen to find out why Samius wants to order alligator meat online and learn the life skill of making moonshine! Thanks so much for listening! (I swear I am NOT the crazy one!)Intro: PregameHow much does alligator cost online anyway?Captain America! (Go see it, if you havent already! Its GREAT!)Completionist, How much XP does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? What is completionist anyway? (Life 7!)Lessah is being interviewed this week for the DDO Cast! (We are #9 on Cyberears!)Adan Maskerys Alcoholic Apothecary D&D talk! Warning: This discussion is looooooong! (Information from the DDO Wiki, and submitted by the members of Guild ROTT, Thelanis)o Dark vision and Low-Light Vision have no place in DDO, so the advantage of dwarves and elves does not transfer over from PnP. Also, the disadvantage of slower movement rates for dwarves and Halflings do not exist, hence removing a racial penalty.o When planning your character, it becomes difficult to wrap your mind around the easy way to renew your HP, SP, and change your spells by using rest shrines. In PnP you have to conserve your resources because you only get spells back, and change them, after 8 hours of rest the next day, and you get your level in HP back each night. o There is an increased spell power that is in correlation with the increased number of monsters you face, and they are on a SP system. When you play PnP you have limited spell slots that you must use wisely.o When you die in DDO, and not doing PD, it is a negligible penalty of a level loss that comes back eventually. In PnP you lose a level or 2 points of Constitution. And the higher level spells are significantly expensive.o The rate of advancement is significantly lower. According to the DDOWiki, in PnP you advance a level after every 13-14 encounters, in DDO you will probably have way more than that many per quest, and each quest might only give you about 5-15% of the experience necessary to advance a level.o In DDO, except for PVP, your area effect spells do not damage your allies. While there is a way to do so in PnP, it takes precious feats to get the same effect.o In PnP you have the ability to manipulate anything in your environment to help you. In DDO it is not a technology that exists yet. We have all had that event when we wish we could just throw up a grappling hook and climb a wall.o In DDO when you charm a monster it is unable to be affected by you until the effect is dismissed, dispelled, or wears off. In PnP when you are ready to dispatch the evil monster you just do so.Lessah tries to get Clankenbeard to break characterThe quirkiest character you ever made
