You don't have to wait for perfect circumstances to move forward.In this message from Mark 10:46–52, we look at the story of Bartimaeus—a man who refused to let his circumstances, the crowd, or his old routine keep him stuck. He called out to Jesus, responded in faith, and chose to follow Him into a new way of living.Some patterns feel unavoidable because we have never recognized what is driving them. But when we invite God to search our hearts, take responsibility for our responses, and reveal what needs healing, real change can begin from the inside out.You may not have chosen the rut, but you can choose your next step. Call on Jesus, trust that He hears you, and be willing to follow where He leads.What pattern are you ready to surrender to God? Share your response in the comments, and send this message to someone who needs encouragement today.Subscribe for more messages and ministry from Dominion Church.#DominionChurch #FollowJesus #ChristianSermon

As Paul begins this important section in Romans, he is speaking the truth in Christ and with great compassion for his people: “I am speaking the truth in Christ–I am not lying; my conscience confirms it by the Holy Spirit–I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart”. These are remarkable words coming from the heart of Paul; he carries a personal burden, but he is also aware that the only one who can relieve him of this burden is God working through the Holy Spirit.  Paul exulted in the thought of God's salvation, but in his joy recognized again that his own people, whom he loved deeply, knew nothing of the joy that was his. A cloud passed over his sun as he contemplated Israel's rejection of his Lord. Calling Christ and the Holy Spirit as witnesses, Paul affirms his love for the Jews. His greatest joy in His position in Christ is contrasted by the sorrow and grief he feels for his unsaved Jewish brothers and sisters.  There is a striking intensity in the apostle's words as he tries to impress on his readers how genuinely he feels about the condition of his own people. He insists he is telling the truth, adds that he is not lying, appeals to his conscience, and adds the testimony of the Holy Spirit as he speaks of heaviness of heart and continual sorrow.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

Send us Fan MailTHE HEART GOD CHOOSESAfter God's Own Heart | Part 1Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 27, 2026 This Sunday, we begin a new series on one of the most fascinating, celebrated—and complicated—people in the Bible: David. He was a shepherd, warrior, poet, king, worshiper and giant-slayer. But he was also deeply flawed. He made terrible decisions, hurt people he loved, failed spectacularly and lived with the consequences. And yet, remarkably, David is the one person Scripture describes as “a man after God's own heart.” How can that be? Maybe we've misunderstood what God is looking for. We tend to evaluate people from the outside in—appearance, accomplishments, credentials, success. But when God chose David, He made something unmistakably clear: “People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” —1 Samuel 16:7If you've ever wondered whether your failures, weaknesses, background or imperfections could keep God from using your life, I hope you'll join us. Because David's story reminds us that God has always done extraordinary things through remarkably ordinary—and imperfect—people.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Read 1 Samuel 16:6–13. Samuel initially assumed Eliab must be God's choice because of what he saw on the outside. What are some of the outward qualities our culture tends to associate with significance, leadership, or success? How can Christians fall into the same trap? 2. David was overlooked even by his own father, yet God saw something in him that others did not. Have there been seasons when you felt overlooked, undervalued, or forgotten? How might knowing that God sees differently change the way we experience those seasons? 3. The message describes David as having “a heart like a shepherd.” Much of his character was developed while doing an ordinary, largely unnoticed job. What might God be developing in us through responsibilities that seem insignificant or unimportant? 4. One of the sermon's statements is, “Character is always built in faithful obscurity.” Why can obscurity actually be valuable? What becomes dangerous when recognition or opportunity arrives before character has been developed? 5. David and Saul both failed seriously, but the message emphasizes a difference in how they responded when confronted. What is the difference between being sorry about consequences, defending ourselves, and genuinely repenting? Why is defensiveness such an obstacle to spiritual growth? 6. The message says, “Being a sinner is not what disqualifies you from leadership. Pretending that you aren't is what dooms you.” What does healthy ownership of our failures look like? How can a community of grace make honesty and repentance easier rather than harder? 7. David also had “a heart that was centered on God.” The sermon suggests that work, busyness, efficiency, schedules, and even ministry can gradually move into the center of our lives. What tends to compete with God for the center of your life? What practices help you continually re-center yourself on God? 8. The message summarizes the heart God chooses as a heart willing to serve when nobody is watching, a heart capable of breaking when confronted with sin, and a heart that continually re-centers itself on God. Which of those three qualities do you most want God to develop in you right now, and why? 9. David's story reminds us that we are both saints and sinners—people genuinely loved and used by God who remain deeply imperfect. How does that truth challenge either perfectionism on one side or complacency about our failures on the other? 10. The message ends by saying that when David's story is told rightly, we see Jesus—and that God wants Jesus to become visible through our imperfect stories as well. What might it look like for someone to see Jesus through your life, including through the places where you are still unfinished? Closing prayer prompt: Ask God to show you where you are concentrating too much on the outside while He wants to work on the inside, and invite Him to form in you a heart that serves faithfully, repents readily, and continually returns to Him.

Judge Alison Nathan handled the controversy surrounding juror Scotty David in a notably transparent way once questions emerged about inaccurate answers on his jury questionnaire. After David publicly disclosed that he had been sexually abused as a child, despite answering “no” to questions asking whether he or someone close to him had experienced sexual abuse, Nathan ordered a public hearing to determine what had happened. David was required to appear in court, testify under oath and explain his answers, while both prosecutors and Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers were allowed to submit proposed questions. Nathan also made the relevant questionnaire and hearing materials part of the court record, subject only to limited redactions intended to protect juror and victim anonymity.Nathan then issued a detailed written ruling explaining exactly why she concluded that David's incorrect answers were mistakes rather than an intentional effort to get onto Maxwell's jury. She found his testimony credible, pointing to his demeanor, his willingness to answer embarrassing questions publicly and the fact that he faced potential perjury consequences if he lied at the hearing. Nathan ultimately determined that David had not been biased against Maxwell and that he would not have been removed for cause even if he had answered the questionnaire correctly. Rather than handling the controversy behind closed doors, the court created a public record of the problem, questioned the juror directly and laid out its reasoning in a lengthy opinion before denying Maxwell's request for a new trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What if the very thing draining your energy every day isn't your circumstances, but the hours you spend rehearsing a future that hasn't happened yet? Dr. JC Doornick is currently navigating a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, and instead of talking around it, he uses it as the live case study for the system his book and coaching are built on: the Interface Response System. He walks through what he calls radical responsibility, introduces a concept from his next book called Carency, the limited currency of care, time, and attention we all spend, and explains why he's stopped bracing for what might happen so he can actually show up for what is happening. Along the way he pulls in Jim Dethmer's above the line and below the line framework, Mel Robbins on why no one is coming to save you, and Steve Jobs on connecting the dots, then leaves listeners with a challenge for the week ahead.

Someone can clone your voice from a short recording, drop it into a phone call, and pressure your family into an “urgent” decision. That is not science fiction anymore, and it is why we sat down with Mark Neneman, Director of IT at Bonita Bay Club, to talk about what modern cybersecurity looks like when real people and real operations are on the line.We start with Mark's path from early communications work into full-time IT and why his CISSP training shapes how he builds secure, reliable systems. Then we get practical: how we decide which new technology is worth investing in, why “it should just work” takes documentation and process, and how backups, redundancies, and clear policies keep service running when things fail. Mark also explains the human side of security, including why awareness training matters and how tools like XDR and SIEM monitoring help us spot issues quickly and respond fast.From there, we cover the three habits that reduce risk for almost everyone: using a password manager (like Bitwarden), enabling multi-factor authentication while moving away from SMS codes, and slowing down when someone tries to trigger fear or urgency. We also unpack AI cybersecurity, including agentic AI risks, privacy concerns with free AI models, and the new wave of voice cloning and deepfake scams, plus a simple defense you can use today: a family code word.If you care about cybersecurity tips, AI safety, phishing prevention, and protecting personal data, listen now, share this with someone who needs it. What security habit are you committing to this week?

The advice to “just trust the system” falls apart fast when you've already been gaslit by doctors, pressured toward induction, and made to feel like your own body can't be trusted. Jasmine shares the full arc from her first hospital birth, and the quiet unease that followed, to the radically different freebirth that changed how she sees motherhood, power, and herself.She opens up about a messy first pregnancy, an OB-led experience that included pressure around size, a threatened induction at 39 weeks, and the claustrophobic feeling of being managed instead of supported. But the deeper story is what happened after birth: postpartum isolation, dark thoughts she was too afraid to say out loud, and the people-pleasing pattern that kept her suffering silently.Then everything shifts. In her next pregnancy, Jasmine finds Free Birth Society, devours hundreds of hours of podcast stories, and starts to imagine something she never thought possible: having her baby at home, without a midwife, on purpose.If you want to connect with Jasmine, follow her on Instagram at @rootedandradiant.motherhood and you can find her website here.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Introducing LEMONADE, my newest training program.Six months, live, with me.

Would you pick a quiet, unproven thirty-something to lead a church in crisis? Paul did. In 1 Timothy 1:1-4, he hands Timothy, a young pastor with no impressive pedigree and a hesitant personality, the task of confronting false teachers in one of the most spiritually chaotic cities in the ancient world. This episode explores why Paul trusted him anyway, and what that choice reveals about the kind of leader God actually looks for.In this week's episode, we explore:What it means that Paul calls himself an "apostle," and why that claim to authority matters for how we read this letterWhy Paul calls God "our Savior" and Jesus "our hope," and what that reveals about how the earliest believers understood rescue and mercyWhat Paul means by "myths and endless genealogies," and how a chain of borrowed authority can make a false teaching sound credibleWhy Jesus taught with a different kind of authority than the scribes, and what that means for how we study Scripture todayThe surprising list of reasons Timothy seemed unqualified to lead, and why none of them disqualified him in Paul's eyesWhat the story of God choosing David over his older, more impressive brothers teaches us about how God evaluates a leaderAfter listening, you'll understand what it means to have authority to teach and lead in the church, and you'll see that credentials, confidence, and charisma were never the real qualification. If you've ever felt too young, too quiet, or too ordinary for what God has put in front of you, this episode will give you a clearer picture of what God actually values in the people he calls. Series: 1 Timothy: Fight the Good Fight

The Democratic primary may be over, but is the party really united?Rep. Jasmine Crockett says she has no plans to campaign for James Talarico, instead choosing to put her energy behind down-ballot Democratic candidates across Texas. That decision is raising an interesting political question: Is Crockett making a smart strategic move by focusing on building Democratic strength from the ground up—or should party unity mean getting behind Talarico?Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we break down Crockett's decision and the bigger picture for Texas Democrats. Does Talarico need Crockett's help to energize some of the voters who supported her? Could lingering divisions from the primary hurt Democrats in November? And should losing primary candidates automatically be expected to campaign for the winner?

Catholicos Karekin II (OC Media) In this episode of Legal Spirits, Center Director Mark Movsesian speaks with Professor Arman Tatoyan of the American University of Armenia about a controversy involving the Armenian Apostolic Church and the government of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The dispute centers on a civil-court order requiring the Church to allow a bishop to continue serving as diocesan Primate while he challenged his removal. After the Church defrocked the bishop, authorities brought criminal charges against Catholicos Karekin II and other senior clerics for allegedly defying the order. We discuss the case under Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and the principle of church autonomy, and ask whether even a temporary court order—and the threat of criminal enforcement—can become a serious burden on religious freedom. We also compare the European approach with U.S. church-autonomy doctrine and consider why the controversy matters well beyond Armenia. Listen in! The post Legal Spirits 081: Who Chooses the Bishops?

Sunday PM

During the long months of the 2020 shutdown, I spent a surprising amount of time watching the History Channel series Ancient Aliens. I began as a skeptic, but the sheer variety of evidence presented gradually challenged my assumptions. Many years earlier I had read Erich von Däniken’s Chariots of the Gods?, so I was already familiar with the basic outline of ancient alien theory. I had also read Whitley Strieber’s Communion when it was first published, giving me a passing familiarity with the subject of alien abductions. But the evidence presented on Ancient Aliens goes far beyond those early books. At this point, only the most dedicated naysayer could remain completely unmoved by the questions the series raises. For those unfamiliar with the theory, the basic claim is that various extraterrestrial civilizations have been visiting Earth for thousands, perhaps even millions, of years. The stories told around the world of gods descending from the sky and living among ancient peoples are interpreted not as myths, but as historical accounts. According to the theory, these visitors shared knowledge with humanity, particularly technological knowledge, helping advance civilization. Some theorists go even further. They propose that extraterrestrials may have altered human DNA, contributing to the emergence of modern humanity, and that they may continue to influence our evolution through the phenomenon of alien abduction. Others suggest that Earth’s entire ecosystem was seeded from elsewhere (panspermia), including the possibility that our moon was deliberately positioned to stabilize Earth’s axis and create the tides necessary for life. I eventually persuaded my brother Bill to watch the series with me. Over the past several years we have viewed and discussed virtually every episode in its fifteen-season run, some more than once. Yes, many of the stories overlap. The same evidence often appears repeatedly, accompanied by familiar commentary. Yet we found the repetition useful. It allowed us to compare claims, identify recurring themes, and test the internal consistency of the arguments being made. Bill and I pride ourselves on being open-minded, but we also anchor that openness in logic and critical thinking. As you know, we are both PhDs, with backgrounds in philosophy and rhetoric, and we have both taught critical thinking at the university level. So don’t come away with the notion that we accepted every claim hook, line, and sinker. One question in particular has occupied much of our attention. Were the gods of antiquity really gods? Were the fallen angels described in the Book of Enoch truly angels sent from God? Or were these figures actually advanced extraterrestrials whose technology was interpreted as divine power? The Book of Enoch tells of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, mingled with humanity, and even took human wives. Their offspring became known as the Nephilim. The biblical flood is said to have been sent to eradicate these hybrids. But what exactly were the Nephilim? What sort of God would destroy nearly all life on Earth to remove them? And why do angelic beings appear throughout the story warning certain humans to prepare for what was coming? As the theorists on Ancient Aliens frequently point out, such stories can be viewed either as myths or as history. If they are history, however, who are the actors involved? Are we truly dealing with God, angels, and the deities of ancient cultures? Or are these accounts describing advanced off-world intelligences engaged in competing visions of humanity’s destiny, sometimes with catastrophic consequences? These questions have fueled countless discussions between Bill and me. Interestingly, they have unfolded alongside our ongoing exploration of Gnostic theology. As we’ve continued untangling the distinctions between Aeons, Archons, angels, fallen angels, the God Above All Gods, and the god of this world, we’ve gradually arrived at a framework that makes surprising sense of many of these ancient mysteries. Today I’d like to share that framework with you. Where Ancient Alien Theory and Gnosticism Agree After spending several years examining the claims of Ancient Aliens through a Gnostic lens, I’ve found that I agree with more of the theory than I ever expected.Ancient alien theorists question the sufficiency of purely random Darwinian evolution. They argue that the extraordinary complexity of life, consciousness, and civilization suggests purposeful intervention. On this point, I find myself in substantial agreement. As I’ve discussed elsewhere in episodes such as Evolution and Conscious Aeonic Design, I regard evolution not as a blind and accidental process but as a directed unfolding of consciousness through time. Where ancient alien theorists identify extraterrestrial visitors as the guiding intelligence behind this development, I identify the guiding intelligence as the Aeons of the Fullness. I'm putting the link to one of my evolution episodes here in today's transcript. The difference is significant. For many ancient alien theorists, purposeful design implies advanced extraterrestrial engineers. For Gnosticism, purposeful design originates from the Fullness of God itself. The First Category: Aeons To understand the distinction, we must begin with the Aeons.In Valentinian Gnostic cosmology, the Aeons dwell within the Pleroma, or Fullness of God. They are not physical beings in the ordinary sense. Rather, they are divine intelligences, principles, powers, personalities, and attributes through which the intentions of the Father become manifest. If ancient alien theorists are correct that evolution has been guided, then I would attribute that guidance not to flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials but to Aeonic design.The Aeons represent order, purpose, meaning, and realization. Through them, the material cosmos unfolds toward increasingly complex expressions of consciousness. Merely replacing God with extraterrestrials does not solve the fundamental problem of origins. The question remains: where did the order come from in the first place?Randomness cannot account for persistent increase in complexity and meaning. Throwing the components of life into the air an infinite number of times does not explain why they repeatedly organize themselves into functioning systems. The question of purpose remains. The Aeons of the Fullness dream as one of Paradise. All creation is prefigured in the dreams of the Fullness. We 2nd Order Powers manifest aeonic design. Gnosticism answers that purpose precedes manifestation. The Aeons are that purpose. They are manifesting the will of God the Father. The Transpersonal Field Ancient alien theorists frequently point to the phenomenon of simultaneous invention. Again and again throughout history, important discoveries have emerged independently in multiple locations at nearly the same time. Language, architecture, metallurgy, medicine, radio technology, relativity theory, and numerous other innovations seem to appear almost as if humanity accesses a common reservoir of knowledge. The theorists often describe this reservoir as the Akashic Record or as a form of extraterrestrial guidance. I agree that such a field exists. However, I understand it differently. I regard the transpersonal field as an aspect of the Metaversal Unit of Consciousness itself: a repository of all that was, is, and will be. Human beings access this field continuously, though usually unconsciously. Inventors, artists, philosophers, and visionaries often reach into it through contemplation, dreaming, intuition, and insight. In my view, we do not need extraterrestrial programmers to explain this phenomenon. Consciousness itself provides the explanation. The Second Category: Archons Now we come to a category frequently overlooked in ancient alien discussions.The Archons. According to Gnostic cosmology, Archons are not Aeons, and they are not angels.They are the inverted shadows of divine order. Where the Aeons move toward realization, Archons move toward distortion. Where Aeons foster truth, Archons foster confusion. They are entropic forces generated through the deficiency associated with the Demiurge. Unlike living creatures, Archons possess no souls. They have no consciousness, no personal identity. They are demiurgic puppets. They are not products of the Fullness. They are products of separation from the Fullness. This distinction becomes particularly useful when discussing technology. Many ancient alien theorists interpret technological advancement as evidence of benevolent extraterrestrial influence. Yet technology itself is neutral. It can illuminate or enslave. It can connect humanity or divide it. The internet provides a perfect example. One of humanity’s greatest achievements has simultaneously become one of its greatest engines of distraction, manipulation, and division. When technological innovation amplifies vanity, domination, deception, and dependency, I suspect Archonic influence rather than Aeonic influence. The Archons thrive through confusion, distraction, fragmentation, and conflict.That is their signature. The Third Category: Angels Throughout scripture angels appear as beings capable of moving between dimensions of existence. Sometimes they appear fully physical. Sometimes they appear as luminous forms. They interact directly with humanity while simultaneously transcending ordinary physical limitations. In Gnostic thought, angels appear to function as allies of humanity in our ongoing struggle against Archonic forces. Where the Archons seek bondage, angels seek liberation. Where Archons cultivate deception, angels encourage truth. This distinction becomes particularly interesting when considering reports of mysterious interventions involving advanced technology. Ancient alien researchers often cite accounts of unexplained interference with nuclear weapons systems. Some reports describe luminous objects disabling missiles without causing harm. If such accounts are accurate, I would not automatically classify the intervention as extraterrestrial. Such actions are equally consistent with angelic activity: protective interventions intended to prevent catastrophe. Not every luminous being belongs in the extraterrestrial category. The Fourth Category: Aliens And now we arrive at the category that fascinates most viewers of Ancient Aliens.Actual extraterrestrials. Do they exist? I believe their existence is as likely as not. Yet I do not believe every unusual phenomenon should automatically be attributed to them. Carving on sarcophagus lid of Mayan ruler Pascal, 683 AD, bears striking resemblance to a man piloting a rocketship. Or is it simply a king riding his throne downward into the land of the dead? When all other categories have been properly separated, a remarkable amount of evidence still appears to point toward genuine non-human civilizations. Accounts from around the world describe beings descending from the heavens, sharing knowledge, establishing settlements, constructing monumental architecture, and sometimes interacting intimately with human populations. The Book of Enoch preserves one such tradition. It describes non-human beings who descended to Earth, taught forbidden arts, and produced offspring with human women. Whether one interprets these stories literally or symbolically, they differ significantly from descriptions of angels and differ even more from descriptions of Archons.These beings behave like a civilization. They arrive. They teach. They build. They intervene. They pursue agendas. In other words, they behave much like humans would behave if we possessed interstellar technology. From a Gnostic perspective, extraterrestrials would simply be another form of what the Tripartite Tractate calls Second Order Powers: living creatures participating in creation. They would possess souls just as we do. They would struggle with ego, ambition, cooperation, conflict, wisdom, and folly just as we do. Their civilizations may be older than ours. Their technology may surpass ours. But they remain participants in the same cosmic drama. The Ultimate Extraterrestrial Which finally brings us to the question of God. Who is the ultimate extraterrestrial? The answer depends upon which God we are discussing. The Father described in Gnostic cosmology is not a being among beings. The Father is not an old man seated upon a throne somewhere beyond the stars.The Father is the Infinite Consciousness underlying all reality. The Father does not belong to creation. Creation belongs to the Father. The Demiurge, by contrast, is much closer to the deity portrayed throughout much of the Old Testament. The Demiurge speaks. Commands. Negotiates. Punishes. Rewards. Chooses sides. The Demiurge is the angry god depicted in classical art This distinction remains one of the most controversial teachings within Gnosticism.Yet it provides a powerful framework for interpreting stories that otherwise seem contradictory. The God who sends floods, plagues, and catastrophic judgments appears very different from the Father proclaimed by Jesus. For Gnostics, that difference is not accidental. It is foundational. Conclusion So where have Bill and I landed after years of discussing these questions? We have concluded that ancient alien theorists correctly identify many genuine mysteries. Where I differ is in the tendency to place every non-human intelligence into a single category. Gnosticism offers a richer vocabulary. Some encounters may involve Aeons. Some may involve Archons. Some may involve angels. Some may involve extraterrestrials. And above them all stands the Father, the Infinite Consciousness from which all reality ultimately emerges—what we Gnostics call the God Above All Gods. The challenge is not deciding whether non-human intelligences exist. The challenge is learning how to tell them apart. That, perhaps, is the most important question of all. Where do you stand on these distinctions? What is your opinion? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Until next week, onward and upward. And God Bless Us All. If you’ve ever benefited from an episode of Gnostic Insights, I want to ask for your help. Everything you see here is created by one person. I write, record, edit, publish, transcribe, and promote every episode myself. There is no production team behind the scenes.

Andrew Vontz has been an endurance athlete for 38 years. In March doctors found a tumor running from his the cavity between his lungs up across his neck that had displaced his carotid artery and was crushing his trachea. — This is the cancer episode. Andrew is five months into treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. He has been through six rounds of chemo, a cytokine release storm, multiple hospitalizations, and in September will go to Dana Farber Cancer Institute for three weeks to get CAR T genetic therapy. He talks about how he discovered he had cancer, living with uncertainty, going through chemo, what thirty-eight years of endurance sport did and did not prepare him for, and how listening to his body has guided his cancer experience. — Guiding the conversation is the titan of entrepreneurship, leadership development, and finance Shannon Jones, who teaches Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition at the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business, writes the TranscendenCEO newsletter, and was a two-sport Division I athlete. Shannon joined Andrew on a previous episode to talk about building and winding down The Better Lab. — Thank you to everyone in this community who has reached out to provide positivity, prayers, encouragement, and support during this experience. — Recorded August 21, 2026, three days after Andrew's sixth round of chemo. — The media landscape has changed.

It's Tuesday, August 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Indonesian pastor sentenced for citing Mohammed's polygamy An Indonesian pastor has been sentenced to two years in prison for pointing out Mohammad's polygamy. At the time of his death, the founder of Islam had nine wives. Dedi Saputra was falsely accused of “hostility, hatred or incitement” with a “potential of causing unrest.”  Like Dedi, the Apostle Paul ran into troubles along the way as well.  In Acts 17:4-5, Luke writes, “And some of them [in Thessalonica] were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas. “But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar.”     Surrogate mother speaks up for choosing life Baby Gabriel, the child in the middle of a massive rent-a-womb controversy, has survived his first heart surgery since being born two weeks ago. The child's surrogate mother, McKenna West, refused to abort him despite being sued by his biological parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed. However, Baby Gabriel is now in the custody of the very parents who sought to have him killed!  In the New York Post, Miss West wrote, “No woman should be forced to kill the baby inside her. Most importantly, every child deserves a chance to live. As a cardiac nurse, I knew this little one had a great shot at survival if given the opportunity to receive the necessary treatment. “After I communicated to the contracting couple that I could not end this baby's life, their lawyer, and my own former lawyer, sent me letters threatening six-figure penalties if I didn't comply with their demand to terminate. The contracting couple cut off my payments, and I covered the rest of the pregnancy expenses myself.” Here's what Miss West told Lila Rose in the Live Action podcast.  WEST: “A diagnosis does not automatically mean that there is no hope or that somebody cannot live. But I knew that this baby boy that I was carrying, that I was feeling move, that he deserved that chance.” Listen to this word for our day from Exodus 22:22-24. “You shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child.  If you afflict them in any way, and they cry at all to Me, I will surely hear their cry; and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.” America and Canada at a stalemate in trade war The United States and Canada are in another trade war. The White House has announced that the U.S. will impose 50% tariffs on certain Canadian products like vehicles and steel imports. And now, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will “hit back.”  Here's what Carney said in a press conference on Saturday: “You're at war when you're attacked, and we got attacked.” He added this. CARNEY: “We cannot accept what they've offered and we will not give what they've asked.”  (Read the transcript of Carney's remarks) Trump added this on Truth Social on Sunday: “Canada wants the benefits of being a State, without being one!!! They have also charged our great farmers, for many years, massive amounts of tariffs. No more!!!” United States to buy back its own bonds to lower inflation U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the federal government will be buying back its own bonds in an effort to rein in inflation and reduce the interest on the bonds, reports CNBC. That means that the government will use its $1 trillion checking account -- which happens to be borrowed money to begin with -- to buy its long-term bonds, in an artificial attempt to reduce interest rates. U.S. debt topped $40 trillion The United States federal debt topped $40 trillion last week, reports CBS News. (Check out the eye-opening website www.USDebtClock.org) The market responded. According to Fortune Magazine, gold is back up to $4,650 an ounce and silver is scraping $70 an ounce. Condo prices sinking Condo prices are sinking like a rock in 33 major city markets including in Florida, California, Texas, Colorado, and Washington state.  Wolf Street estimates a 29% average drop since the 2022 peak. Add inflation into that and that's a 38% drop in condominium prices. Condo prices can signal housing stress before the rest of the market collapses.  Divorce rate up for those over 55 U.S. divorce rates are way up for people older than 55 years of age. In fact, they've doubled since 1990. And,  among those over 65, the divorce rate has increase five-fold since 1990.   A recent Bowling Green University study found that the 50+ crowd now accounts for nearly 40% of all people getting divorced. That was only 8% in 1990. 2032 is Social security depletion date The Social Security depletion date has moved up another three months, now targeted for 2032. The ratio of workers paying into Social Security per retiree has plummeted from more than 5-to-1 in 1960 to 2.9-to-1 today. Mel Gibson to release Resurrection movies in 2027 Film producer and director Mel Gibson is wrapping up a 10-year project — a production of the sequel for The Passion of the Christ. The project is slated to be released as a two-part series on the Resurrection sometime in March and May next year — Good Friday and Ascension Day on the Christian calendar. The films were shot in Rome. Spiderman: Brand New Day misuses God's name 16 times And finally, the blockbuster film, Spiderman: Brand New Day, is #1 at the box office for its fourth week -- now at $2.2 billion worldwide. That's a record for the franchise. But Focus on the Family's PluggedIn.com and Ted Baehr's MovieGuide.org both warn of foul language, the single most concerning drawback for families. God's name and Jesus' name are misused a total of 16 times in the movie.  Exodus 20:7 says, “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, August 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

According to officials, no drinking water has been directly affected. Water hackers have been linked to Iran and China.

What if the relationship that changed your life also uncovered the business opportunity you were meant to pursue? In this episode, Moshe Edri, Founder of Spa Sphere, shares how an unexpected relationship led him to discover a massive gap in the aesthetics industry and inspired him to build an AI-powered platform designed specifically for aestheticians. After spending more than 20 years building technology for some of the world's largest companies, Moshe never imagined he'd become an entrepreneur serving the skincare industry. But through one meaningful relationship, he saw firsthand the daily challenges independent aestheticians faced and realized no one was building software around the way they actually worked. Moshe explains how listening to customers, creating genuine partnerships, and staying close to the people you serve has fueled Spa Sphere's rapid growth. He also shares why relationships, are the true competitive advantage for any business, and how meaningful connections continue to shape both his company and his life.   [00:03:28] What He Does and Who He Serves Founder of Spa Sphere, an AI-powered platform built specifically for aestheticians Helps skincare professionals simplify operations and grow their businesses Creates technology around the unique workflows of estheticians Enables practitioners to spend more time serving clients and less time managing software [00:05:19] Solving a Problem No One Else Was Addressing Existing software wasn't designed for the way aestheticians work Many professionals relied on disconnected tools and manual processes Fragmented systems created unnecessary stress and burnout Spa Sphere brings everything together into one purpose-built platform [00:06:41] Helping Clients Create Better Outcomes Supports personalized treatment plans instead of one-time appointments Gives aestheticians tools to guide clients through long-term skincare journeys Helps practitioners increase revenue while improving client care Aligns technology with how estheticians naturally serve their clients [00:11:04] How One Relationship Changed Everything The idea for Spa Sphere began while dating an esthetician Saw firsthand the frustrations of running an independent practice Realized an entire industry had been overlooked by technology companies Combined his background in software with a real-world business challenge [00:12:45] Growing Through Strategic Relationships Focuses on partnerships with educators, coaches, and industry leaders Chooses collaboration over chasing individual customers Creates win-win opportunities throughout the industry Builds momentum through trusted relationships and referrals [00:14:31] The Relationship That Sparked His Mission Credits a personal relationship with introducing him to the aesthetics industry Was inspired by how deeply aestheticians care for their clients Built technology that removes friction so practitioners can focus on people Turned a personal experience into a purpose-driven company [00:17:08] Growing Beyond His Comfort Zone Learned business development as a technical founder Built meaningful partnerships despite being naturally introverted Embraced new challenges to grow both personally and professionally Continues refining the customer experience as the company expands [00:18:59] Why Customer Relationships Matter Gives every client direct access to him Values personal conversations over transactional support Makes time to meet customers whenever possible Believes authentic relationships are the foundation of lasting success [00:20:54] Scaling Without Losing the Human Touch Confident the technology can scale to support future growth More concerned about maintaining exceptional customer support Wants every customer to continue feeling personally valued Committed to growing without sacrificing relationships [00:21:35] Giving Back to the Industry Inspired by the generosity and passion of aestheticians Finds purpose in helping professionals better serve their clients Provides free resources, education, and tools alongside the platform Measures success by the impact he creates for others   KEY QUOTES "The challenge for me was to create the best platform for aestheticians so they need to forget about technology. Technology becomes the easy part, not the hard part, so they can focus on building relationships with their clients." "I'm looking back where I started and where I am today, and it makes me proud that I was capable of creating those meaningful connections and always creating win-win-win situations." "All my clients have my cellphone number. They know about our hamsters, they know about my dog. We've developed those kinds of relationships." "Personal time is what helps build those relationships. That digital persona you show on camera isn't enough." "I'm happy that in a way we are now giving back to them with their time, with their revenue, and with the free content and tools we provide for them."

Send us Fan MailSaul was brave and led Israel into battle, but he struggled to obey God completely. First, he offered a sacrifice that only the priest was supposed to offer. Later, when God gave him another chance to obey, Saul only followed part of God's command and tried to make excuses. Samuel reminded him that obeying God is better than offering sacrifices.Because Saul would not fully obey, God sent Samuel to Bethlehem to find a new king among Jesse's sons. Samuel thought the tallest, strongest son looked like a king, but God said He looks at the heart. Finally, young David was called in from watching the sheep. God chose him, and Samuel anointed David with oil. David returned to the fields, waiting for God's timing to become king.Talk about it:Why was Saul's “halfway obedience” a problem?What did Samuel mean when he said obeying God is better than sacrifice?Why didn't God choose Jesse's oldest son?What does it mean that God looks at the heart?How can you obey God completely this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043
