Karina Anderson's story–from a violent upbringing in Denmark to finding her true purpose in South Africa–is a testament to resilience, spiritual enlightenment, and the power of trusting one's journey. “More and more I realized that if I can do this, maybe more can do this. And I started writing down the first pieces of my story, which is about how you navigate challenge and how you turn. “That's why I say I am an alchemist. I'm an alchemist in my own journey, turning lead to gold, regardless of how tough it looks. This is the moment you want that challenge. This is where heroes and heroines are born. “Everything I've achieved on this journey has been because I've listened. I have shown up. I've been called to go. And, I've learned to trust the process. I know this because I do it every day and I've done it since I arrived here in South Africa.” Intuitive Depth Coach, Alchemist and Change Specialist, Karina Anderson goes to places where most do not dare venture. Together with her Team of Change Agents, she helps switch on lights in some of the darkest corners of the human experience. Her work has taken her from prisons to boardrooms. As the Founder of SmilingOne and Circles of Change Academy, she has spent 17+ years honing a unique change recipe in the homeland of her heart–South Africa, and turning personal adversity into impactful change.

This is Week 5 of our series Circles, where we're learning how God's Word guides us in strengthening the relational circles in our lives. This series isn't just about building better relationships—it's about divine realignments. God is repositioning some of us for greater impact and deeper joy, helping us step into His chosen connections that will change our life's course.Last week, we explored our inner circle and our relationship with God—the foundation of everything. Today, we dive into the outer circle—the people outside our immediate circle, those who feel different or even uncomfortable to us. These are our neighbors, co-workers, people at the store, even those we might ignore or block on social media. The question is: how do we relate to them?Our key verse is Colossians 4:5-6:"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."Why do outsiders matter?Because they matter to God. They are loved by Him, and many are in our lives for a reason. Just like the early Christians in Colossae—who faced hostility, rejection, and persecution—they refused to retreat or water down their faith. Instead, they made a difference by living intentionally and boldly.In a culture filled with division and deception, they stood firm, refusing to compromise. They knew Christ and carried His presence into the outside world, fulfilling the Great Commission: "Go and preach the Gospel to all nations." Their lives weren't just about getting by—they were about making an impact.Our faith was never meant to be hidden. Remember, light doesn't need permission to shine—darkness cannot overcome it. The resistance you encounter may be a sign that you're on the right track.Loving the outsiders means being wise in our manner, our moment, and our message:Wisdom in our manner:Mind your words — be gracious, kind, and respectful. Jesus said, "Let your words always be full of grace and seasoned with salt." Our words should preserve, heal, and attract others to Christ, not offend or push away. We're called to be witty, engaging, and loving—never abrasive or rude.Wisdom in our moment:Seize divine appointments. Be proactive in noticing opportunities God puts in your path. Whether it's a new neighbor, a co-worker, or a cashier at the store—these moments are orchestrated by God for meaningful connections. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's lead and respond in faith.Wisdom in our message:Always be ready to share the hope you have. Your story, your church, your faith—these can be powerful bridges. Share the Gospel confidently, using words that are honest, compassionate, and truthful. Remember, our goal is to win hearts, not arguments.Love and truth go hand in hand. Grace without truth is meaningless. Truth without grace is harsh. Together, they bring healing and transformation.Ask yourself:Are my actions and words drawing people closer to Jesus, or pushing them away?Be intentional. Be wise. Make the most of every divine opportunity.Because, ultimately, guiding others to Christ is the heartbeat of our faith. Let's step out boldly, shining His light into the outer circle with wisdom, love, and grace. Are you ready?

Welcome back to Fintech Takes. I'm Alex Johnson, joined (as always) by my partner-in-recapping, Jason Mikula.  First up: the uneasy détente in open banking is over. Jason and I haven't had a chance to debrief on Plaid's deal with JPMorgan Chase to pay for API access (so we do). Payments use cases remain the most expensive, Plaid is eating the fees (at least for now), and Chase looks like it's succeeded in hobbling Pay by Bank. We unpack why Plaid did the deal, what it means for other aggregators.  Next up, color us nostalgic; back to BaaS Island we go! The FBI is probing Evolve. The scope reportedly extends to board members (including a16z), and new details suggest international money movement in Southeast Asia (tied to a $15M pig-butchering scheme). As the saying goes, bankers almost never go to jail; will this time be any different? Then, we turn to AI. FICO has announced a new product called a foundation model for financial services. The idea is to build smaller, domain-specific models that are cheaper, faster, and more reliable than generic LLMs, while adding predictive lift on top of existing analytics. The open questions: is this hype dressed up for Wall Street, or a clever way to squeeze extra predictive power out of structured financial datasets? And most of all: who is this really for? Plus, in our Can't Let It Go corner, Jason bristles about being labeled as “partisan” (in response to his response about the “Debanking” Executive Order) while I puzzle over Tether reportedly raising at a $500B valuation (the same as OpenAI, except Tether's core product is…not getting audited and telling everyone to “just trust us.”) Sign up for Alex's Fintech Takes newsletter for the latest insightful analysis on fintech trends, along with a heaping pile of pop culture references and copious footnotes.

As September closes, forget lukewarm goals because this conversation is about striking the match yourself. Kelly of Western Workouts joins us for a conversation about the kind of fire fueled by self-belief, reckless confidence, and a refusal to waste energy on what doesn't matter.This episode began, as many of our best ones do, with a yap-and-cheer session that turned into a bonfire of ideas. We talk about why spite may get you moving, but it never leaves you satisfied, and why a process you love always beats an outcome that looks shiny but feels empty.Kelly brings her perspective from training horses, bodies, and minds. We add our lens of capacity, discernment, and real-life integration. Together we unravel what it means to build a fire of our own; whether that means claiming your time back from distractions, letting go without fanfare, or saying yes to hard things without fearing how hard they'll be.Listen In For …Why a self-belief bonfire outlasts a spite-fueled spark every time.The practice of reckless confidence: deciding you'll figure it out, then getting to work.How to be unbothered by noise, urgency, and opinions that don't serve you.The case for integration over silos when it comes to motherhood, work, and identity.When to simply step back into the bushes: no drama, no debate, just disengagement.Why discipline is less about willpower and more about respecting your own energy.How patience and slow-burn often set the stage for your boldest moves.The role your people play in elevating your fire instead of draining it.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 September check-in and the fire worth tending.06:15 Spite vs. self-belief: why empty wins don't satisfy.10:00 Process over outcome: act, adjust, repeat.25:30 Practicing being unbothered: disengaging with grace.30:00 Integration > silos: motherhood, work, identity.36:20 Reckless confidence and pouring the gasoline at your feet.42:45 Circles, standards, and raising your own algorithm.48:00 Closing: presence through the holidays, confidence that sustains.Where to Go From HereJoin the conversation: Screenshot this episode and tag @cowgirlsovercoffee and @westernworkouts on Instagram/Threads—tell us where you're pouring your gasoline this season.Grab the free Routine Playbook: Build daily structure that makes acting (and adjusting) easier.Connect with Kelly: Follow Western Workouts for strength, stamina, and no-nonsense confidence.Stay in the loop: Subscribe, review, and share so more women can light fires that actually last.

Post Malone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Post Malone's week exploded with one of the music industry's biggest headlines as he was officially announced as a headliner for the 2026 Stagecoach Festival, scheduled for April 24th to 26th in Indio, California. According to KESQ and American Songwriter, Post joins Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson atop the bill, marking another step in his increasingly country-focused career. Post himself expressed his excitement, saying he “had a hell of a time at Stagecoach in 2024” and can't wait to return next year. This booking places him firmly at the center of the genre-bending movement dominating major festival lineups, where he'll share the stage with legendary acts from Journey and Counting Crows to contemporary hitmakers like Bailey Zimmerman and Riley Green. Stagecoach's organizers are touting this as a powerhouse year, testimony to how Post has cemented his cross-genre star power.Social media is buzzing over the announcement, with the official Stagecoach Instagram and X feeds leading the charge. Clips and memes of Post's signature country collabs—especially “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen—keep circulating, and his own platforms are awash in country music emojis and cowboy hat selfies. The timing is notable, since Post's foray into country continues to draw attention after his successful country chart crossover and heavily streamed duets.Meanwhile, Post was accidentally dragged into more lighthearted news when the Irvine Police Department, in Southern California, put out a social media alert featuring a package theft suspect they dubbed “Postal Malone” because the man's facial tattoos and overall look strongly resembled the rapper. The police leaned into the joke, referencing Post's songs “Circles” and “I Had Some Help” in their posts. The viral comparison became a meme in its own right, quickly trending locally and prompting much banter across X and Instagram, as noted by LAist.Amid the festival noise, tabloids briefly revived online speculation about Post's political leanings in relation to the 2024 U.S. election. While this continues to spawn debate on forums and social media, there is no verified information to confirm any candidate support at this time, and most major outlets treat it as speculation rather than fact.No new major business ventures or product launches have been confirmed this week, though recent months have seen Post's ventures into fashion and beverage brands referenced in podcasts and business coverage, including Impact Wealth Magazine's recent mention of his estimated net worth at fifty million dollars. His visibility is peaking, with broadcast hits and memes ensuring that for Post Malone, the spotlight just keeps getting brighter as he straddles genres, headlines festivals, and—at least for this week—dodges confusion with California's “Postal Malone.”Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This week's live Q&A centered on the core training principles that keep you and your horse progressing, even when things get tricky. We also chatted about the new YouTube series launching next month (behind-the-scenes and real-life training!) and shared updates from 30 Days to Round.What we coveredTiming and proactivity: Don't wait until your horse grabs the bit or throws the head—ride proactively with bend, flexion, and release before the problem starts.Breaking it down: Complex movements like half pass can't be “fixed” inside the half pass. Instead, go back to the components: forward, bend, sideways, alignment—then put it all back together.Consistency: Just like school for kids, horses develop mental focus and physical strength over years. Little-by-little work creates lifelong progress.Rider position and clarity: Your seat and shoulders should match the horse's body in lateral work. Inside seat bone down, shoulders parallel to shoulders, hips with hips. Stay soft, not stiff.Reward and positivity: Never miss an opportunity to praise. Clear, consistent, positive training helps your horse stay motivated and willing.Key takeawaysWork on inside rein to inside hind to improve control and suppleness.Circles and lateral exercises are your go-to when a horse gets heavy, resistant, or pops the head up.Don't measure engagement as “always there.” Even Grand Prix horses warm up in a normal trot before reaching true collection. Engagement comes in moments, not minutes.For younger horses, think “kindergarten attention span.” Keep it short, consistent, and gradually increase both mental focus and physical load.Happy Riding,AmeliaPS.

Jack Pearpoint: Canadian publisher, inclusion advocate, and co‑creator of person‑centered planning tools like MAPS, PATH, and Circle of Friends. Jack's work centers on relationships and building local leadership for change so every learner belongs. In this episode, Jack Pearpoint and Tim Villegas talk about “inclusion punk rock”—doing what's right for learners even when systems say no. They dig into the origin of MAPS, PATH, and Circles of Support, how to keep planning deeply personal (not just an app or a checklist), and why change grows from relationships, neighborhoods, and people on the margins.

In this episode of Hypnogeeks, Amanda chats with her friend and colleague Nicola Barragry — clinical hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, and creator of HypnoFlow. Nicola's inspiring story weaves together family life, personal loss, career shifts, and a lifelong commitment to helping others.From supporting her community as a teacher, council worker, and crisis advisor, to stepping fully into holistic healing, Nicola has built a unique toolkit that blends hypnotherapy, Reiki, and the Energy Alignment Method. She now runs two powerful initiatives: HypnoFlow, a year-long programme for clearing resistance and aligning subconscious beliefs, and Circles of Support, safe spaces where carers and community members can connect and be heard.This conversation is full of warmth and wisdom — and especially valuable for hypnotherapists and wellness professionals interested in blending modalities and deepening their work with subconscious communication.Key Highlights & Insights:0:13:21 – From teaching to crisis work: How Nicola recognised the limits of “broken systems” and developed her own approach to support clients holistically.0:26:55 – Discovering the Energy Alignment Method (EAM): Nicola shares her “aha moment”, realising that unresolved trauma and subconscious resistance often block transformation. She explains how EAM uses the body as a pendulum, working with sways, resistance, and reversals to access subconscious communication directly.0:37:41 – The five steps of EAM: A practical walk-through of how to identify resistance, trace beliefs back to their origin, release them with powerful statements, and replace them with aligned states of flow.0:56:40 – Blending Hypnotherapy & EAM: Nicola discusses how she integrates hypnosis with energy work, helping clients bypass resistance and deepen into subconscious communication. She uses metaphor, sanctuary spaces, and hypnotic techniques alongside energy alignment to create HypnoFlow.1:00:46 – The HypnoFlow Programme: A structured year-long journey blending hypnotherapy, energy alignment, and accountability. Participants work through universal laws, subconscious beliefs, physical health, relationships, lifestyle, wealth, and purpose — aligning every area of life. For hypnotherapists, it's an inspiring model of combining subconscious tools with holistic frameworks.1:10:56 – Circles of Support: Nicola's community initiative that offers safe spaces for carers, relatives of those in care homes, foster parents, teaching assistants, and charity workers. Unlike traditional support groups, Circles focus on holding space without agenda — a place for authentic presence, emotional release, and shared humanity. Hypnotherapists may recognise parallels with group hypnotherapy, supervision, and reflective practice.1:18:00 – Supervision & therapist support: Nicola has also trained as a hypnotherapy supervisor, bringing her unique blend of compassion, energy awareness, and subconscious communication to those working in the helping professions.Why listen? If you're a hypnotherapist, you'll find fresh inspiration in how Nicola blends EAM and hypnosis to work more intuitively with the subconscious. You'll also hear how she builds meaningful programmes and groups that address not just individual transformation, but the wider need for community connection.This episode is both a case study in professional reinvention and a reminder of the power of our work: to hold space, to listen beyond words, and to unlock the subconscious mind's capacity for healing.Support the showThis podcast is sponsored by The Northern College of Clinical Hypnotherapywww.thenortherncollegeofclinicalhypnotherapy.com

Fluent Fiction - Spanish: Rowing in Circles: An Autumn Lesson in Love and Laughter Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/es/episode/2025-09-23-22-34-02-es Story Transcript:Es: El aire fresco del otoño soplaba suavemente en el Parque El Retiro, llenando el aire con el crujir de las hojas doradas bajo los pies.En: The fresh autumn air gently blew through Parque El Retiro, filling the air with the crunch of golden leaves underfoot.Es: Era un día perfecto para disfrutar del lago, y Mateo pensó que no había mejor manera de impresionar a Inés que llevándola en un pequeño paseo en barca de remos.En: It was a perfect day to enjoy the lake, and Mateo thought there was no better way to impress Inés than by taking her on a small rowboat ride.Es: Mateo era un músico de espíritu aventurero.En: Mateo was a musician with an adventurous spirit.Es: Sus dedos eran hábiles con la guitarra, pero el remo era un arte que aún no dominaba.En: His fingers were skilled with the guitar, but rowing was an art he had yet to master.Es: Sin embargo, su entusiasmo era contagioso.En: However, his enthusiasm was contagious.Es: Inés, a pesar de ser una diseñadora de interiores estructurada y práctica, aceptó la invitación con una sonrisa.En: Inés, despite being a structured and practical interior designer, accepted the invitation with a smile.Es: Apreciaba la alegría de Mateo, aunque prefería un enfoque más organizado para las aventuras.En: She appreciated Mateo's joy, even though she preferred a more organized approach to adventures.Es: Al llegar al lago, el agua brillaba bajo el sol otoñal, y las barcas de remos surcaban suavemente la superficie.En: Upon arriving at the lake, the water shone under the autumn sun, and the rowboats smoothly cut through the surface.Es: Mateo, embriagado por su propio entusiasmo, tomó los remos con confianza.En: Mateo, intoxicated by his own enthusiasm, took the oars confidently.Es: "¡Vamos, Inés!En: "Let's go, Inés!Es: Esto será pan comido", dijo con una risa jovial mientras se sentaba en el banco de la barca.En: This will be a piece of cake," he said with a jovial laugh as he sat on the boat's bench.Es: Inés, colocando con cuidado su bolso al lado, respondió: "Esperemos que sea más fácil que escoger colores para una sala de estar."En: Inés, carefully placing her bag beside her, replied, "Let's hope it's easier than choosing colors for a living room."Es: Mateo comenzó a remar, pero pronto descubrieron que sus habilidades eran más bien... torpes.En: Mateo began to row, but they soon discovered that his skills were rather... clumsy.Es: La barca giraba en círculos, causando una serie de movimientos vertiginosos.En: The boat spun in circles, causing a series of dizzying movements.Es: Inés sujetó con firmeza los bordes de la barca, intentando contener la risa.En: Inés held onto the sides of the boat tightly, trying to contain her laughter.Es: "Mateo, no estamos avanzando", señaló Inés, con una mezcla de humor e incredulidad.En: "Mateo, we're not moving forward," Inés pointed out, with a mix of humor and disbelief.Es: "Mira, intenta remar al mismo tiempo en ambos lados."En: "Look, try rowing simultaneously on both sides."Es: Mateo, terco y decidido a lograrlo, continuó remando con entusiasmo, pero sin precisión.En: Mateo, stubborn and determined to succeed, continued rowing enthusiastically but without precision.Es: "Confía en mí, Inés.En: "Trust me, Inés.Es: Esto es solo una pequeña curva de aprendizaje."En: This is just a small learning curve."Es: Las olas suaves se encargaban de hacerles girar, mientras los turistas en la orilla miraban la escena con diversión.En: The gentle waves made them spin, while tourists on the shore watched the scene with amusement.Es: Inés, agudizando su ingenio, decidió tomar cartas en el asunto.En: Inés, sharpening her wit, decided to take charge.Es: Empezó a dar instrucciones, simplificando el proceso: "Izquierda, derecha, izquierda.En: She began giving instructions, simplifying the process: "Left, right, left.Es: ¡Muy bien, ahora intenta juntos!"En: Great, now try together!"Es: Justo cuando Mateo y Inés estaban al borde de una pequeña discusión, una ráfaga de viento sopló, enderezando milagrosamente la barca.En: Just when Mateo and Inés were on the verge of a small argument, a gust of wind blew, miraculously straightening the boat.Es: De repente, se encontraron navegando de frente, avanzando por fin.En: Suddenly, they found themselves sailing straight ahead, finally making progress.Es: Ambos estallaron en carcajadas, el viento disipando cualquier tensión.En: They both burst into laughter, the wind dissipating any tension.Es: "Lo hicimos, Mateo.En: "We did it, Mateo.Es: Al menos por un momento", dijo Inés limpiándose una lágrima de risa.En: At least for a moment," Inés said, wiping away a tear of laughter.Es: Mateo, con una sonrisa amplia y libre de cualquier frustración, admitió: "Es cierto.En: Mateo, with a wide smile free of any frustration, admitted, "It's true.Es: Debo reconocer, tu sistema funciona."En: I must admit, your system works."Es: Finalmente, remaron de regreso al muelle, un poco empapados por las salpicaduras, pero contentos.En: Finally, they rowed back to the dock, a little wet from the splashes, but happy.Es: Se dieron cuenta de que su desastrosa excursión en el lago había sido más divertida de lo esperado.En: They realized that their disastrous excursion on the lake had been more fun than expected.Es: Aunque Mateo aprendió a apreciar el método de Inés, también le mostró el valor de reírse de las sorpresas.En: Although Mateo learned to appreciate Inés's method, he also showed her the value of laughing at surprises.Es: En cuanto a Inés, su estructurada perspectiva acogió una chispa de espontaneidad.En: As for Inés, her structured perspective welcomed a spark of spontaneity.Es: Mientras caminaban de la mano por el parque, con las hojas cayendo alrededor de ellos como una lluvia de oro, ambos sabían que ese especial día de otoño se convertiría en una de sus historias favoritas.En: As they walked hand in hand through the park, with the leaves falling around them like a shower of gold, both knew that that special autumn day would become one of their favorite stories.

Ephesians 6:1-9 The Family Circle (vv. 1-4) The practice The promise The Workplace Circle (vv. 5-9) The respectful employee The regardful employer More to Consider Paul did not condone slavery when urging both slaves and masters to live as responsible Christians; his concern was to change Christians attitudes toward each other. The gospel is opposed to slavery. Where the gospel permeates lives, the institution of slavery will be undermined and abolished. It is worth noting that the first generation of Christians who had been freed from slavery to sin, gladly called themselves slaves of God or of Christ (see 1 Tm 6:1; Phm 16). Paradoxically, this latter slavery is the highest human freedom. Cabal, T., Brand, C. O., Clendenen, E. R., Copan, P., Moreland, J. P., Powell, D. (2007). The Apologetics Study Bible: Real Questions, Straight Answers, Stronger Faith (p. 1770). Holman Bible Publishers. The New Testament emphasizes a voluntary (James 4:7) rather than a forced (Luke 10:17) submission. Submission is appropriate in social roles (as citizen or servant, see Rom. 13:1; Titus 2:9). It is also appropriate in Christian interpersonal relationships. Here the image is one of responsiveness and willingness to yield to one another out of love. Richards, L. O. (1987). The teachers commentary (p. 927). Victor Books. Start Owne Wister, an old college friend of Theodore Roosevelt, was visiting him at the White House. Roosevelt's daughter Alice kept running in and out of the room until Wister finally asked if there wasn't something Roosevelt could do to control her. "Well," said the President, "I can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both." Bits Pieces, December 9, 1993, p. 16. A manager and a sales rep stood looking at a map on which colored pins indicated the company representative in each area. "I'm not going to fire you, Wilson," the manager said, "but I'm loosening your pin a bit just to emphasize the insecurity of your situation." Bits Pieces, May 26, 1994, Page 9. The work of a Beethoven, and the work of a charwoman, become spiritual on precisely the same condition, that of being offered to God, of being done humbly "as to the Lord." This does not, of course, mean that it is for anyone a mere toss-up whether he should sweep rooms or compose symphonies. A mole must dig to the glory of God and a cock must crow. C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory.

You might be wondering if you belong in a TFMR grief circle. Maybe you're questioning whether your story fits, whether your diagnosis was "severe enough," or whether you'll connect with other parents who made this impossible choice.The truth is, if you're asking these questions, you probably do belong here.The parents who join our TFMR grief circles share something profound - we're all mothers and fathers who chose to end suffering, even when the world doesn't understand that choice. You followed your heart and survival through the most impossible decision love has ever asked of you.Beyond that sacred shared experience, the parents who thrive in our circles tend to be busy but appreciate structure, they are naturally resilient (even when you don't feel it), and deeply kind - both to others and, we hope, eventually to yourselves.Whether you have living children or are trying to conceive again, whether your diagnosis was chromosomal or structural, for you or baby, whether you're weeks or years out from your loss - your story matters here. You matter here.TFMR GRIEF CIRCLE PROGRAM:If you're longing for intimate, ongoing group support, apply now for the Ascend TFMR Grief Circle

Is Your Business Growing or Just Going in Circles?If your business feels like it's on pause even though you're constantly “doing” this episode is for you.I'm diving deep into the real reason you might be stuck right now, and spoiler alert: it's not because you need another strategy or more time.It's because you're in static mode that sneaky space where it feels like you're making progress, but really, you're avoiding the hard decisions that create real momentum.I'm not here to sugarcoat things. I'm here to help you move. Because sitting in indecision is costing you leads, income, and energy.Ready to stop circling the same five thoughts and finally build a business that grows with you?

When TFMR parents find out about Ascend, they don't ask about the curriculum or the healing frameworks. They ask: "Will there be other people like me? Can I finally say everything out loud? Will someone understand when I talk about my baby?"Other parents like you share what they're most looking forward to in our grief circle: They were about connection in this tough abortion baby loss, having permission to speak their baby's name without explaining themselves and being able to SHARE their TFMR stories without judgement.TFMR GRIEF CIRCLE PROGRAM:If you're longing for intimate, ongoing group support, apply now for the Ascend TFMR Grief Circle

In Part 2 of Circles called "Breaking The Cycle," we focus on the power of family. Our families are meant to bring joy and growth, but sometimes, we inherit patterns of pain and dysfunction. These early life imprints can shape how we see ourselves and relate to others.But there's hope. God can transform your life, no matter your past. By recognizing harmful patterns, embracing God's grace, and adopting a new identity in Christ, you can find healing. Let's release the past and build better, healthier relationships that reflect God's love.It's time to break free from old cycles and live out a brighter future rooted in love and faith.

Ephesians 5:20-33 1. The Submission of Wives (vv. 22-24) Christ is Head of the Body Christ is Savior of the Body Submit to husbands as the Church submits to Christ 2. The Submission of Husbands (vv. 25-32) Love your wives as Christ loves the Church Christ has died for the Church Christ now lives for the Church Christ will cherish the Church Love your wives as you love yourself You are both made one flesh You are both members of One Body 3. A Mutual Submission (v. 33) Sacrificial love Spiritual respect More to Consider Driving down a country road, I came to a very narrow bridge. In front of the bridge, a sign was posted: "YIELD." Seeing no oncoming cars, I continued across the bridge and to my destination. On my way back, I came to the same one-lane bridge, now from the other direction. To my surprise, I saw another YIELD sign posted. Curious, I thought, "I'm sure there was one posted on the other side." When I reached the other side of the bridge I looked back. Sure enough, yield signs had been placed at both ends of the bridge. Drivers from both directions were requested to give right of way. It was a reasonable and gracious way of preventing a head-on collision. When the Bible commands Christians to "be subject to one another" (Ephesians 5:21) it is simply a reasonable and gracious command to let the other have the right of way and avoid interpersonal head-on collisions. Stephen P. Beck Pauls command for wives to submit follows the all-encompassing command to submit to one another in the fear of Christ (v. 21)the last outcome or result of the filling of the Spirit (vv. 1821). While a submissive wife is counter-cultural today, she was not so in Pauls time. Moreover, while a self-sacrificing and loving husband sounds quite appropriate in our culture, he was radically counter-cultural in Pauls time. Cabal, T., Brand, C. O., Clendenen, E. R., Copan, P., Moreland, J. P., Powell, D. (2007). The Apologetics Study Bible: Real Questions, Straight Answers, Stronger Faith (p. 1769). Holman Bible Publishers. Paul had much more to say to the Christian husbands than to the wives. He set for them a very high standard: Love your wives even as Christ also loved the church. Paul was lifting married love to the highest level possible, for he saw in the Christian home an illustration of the relationship between Christ and the church. Wiersbe, W. W. (1996).

Bernie Maloney: From Permission-Seeking to Forgiveness-Begging—Agile Team Evolution in Self-Management Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Bernie defines success for Scrum Masters as creating teams that can thrive and do their best work independently. His ultimate goal is to make himself unnecessary - developing self-directing teams that step out of waiting for direction and instead seek permission or even beg forgiveness when needed. Using the "Circles and Soup" framework, Bernie helps teams stretch their circles of influence and control. He recognizes that every manager wants teams to succeed but may lack the necessary tools, making it crucial for Scrum Masters to coach managers as well. Bernie recommends building a backlog of organizational impediments and focusing on the top priority that will move the ball forward most effectively. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Bernie champions the Sailboat retrospective format for its simplicity and adaptability. While the basic format is straightforward, he appreciates that you can add layers of complexity as needed. Bernie tends to keep retrospectives simple and also mentions the "What the Duck?" technique as another valuable retrospective tool. He suggests incorporating creative elements like having people build LEGO representations of what they're discussing, which helps teams visualize and engage with concepts more effectively. To know more about LEGO Serious Play, check out the Serious Play book.  In this segment, we also refer to Dissociation in Psychology, which helps with "third position" coaching/thinking, and Bernie's video on creative retrospective formats.  Self-reflection Question: How are you measuring whether your teams are becoming more self-directing, and what specific behaviors indicate they're ready to operate with less guidance?

In this final episode of the mindful leadership series, Tracy Cherpeski explores how internal work creates expanding ripples of success. Following up with Dr. Sarah and Dr. Marcus years after their initial work, we see how their practices have become magnetic centers that naturally attract resources, talent, and opportunities. This episode reveals the five ripple zones that create sustainable competitive advantage and shows how mindful leadership becomes a powerful business strategy.  Key Highlights  How Dr. Sarah now takes three-week unplugged vacations while her team runs seamlessly  Marcus's referral systems that are "crushing it" while he focuses on strategic growth  The five ripple zones that create magnetic pull in healthcare practices  Why pushing for success creates resistance while magnetic leadership creates flow  How internal work compounds into external competitive advantages over time  Memorable Quotes  "The most profitable practices aren't just well-run businesses – they're energy centers that attract everything they need to thrive."  "When you're pushing, you're working against resistance. When you're magnetic, resources flow toward you effortlessly."  "Your mindful leadership isn't just personal development; it's business strategy."  "The question isn't whether you're capable of this level of success – the question is whether you're ready to begin."  This episode demonstrates that sustainable practice success flows from the inside out, showing how two different practitioners used the same framework to create practices that continue thriving and expanding their influence years later.  Tracy's Bio:  Tracy Cherpeski, MBA, MA, CPSC (she/her/hers) is the Founder of Tracy Cherpeski International and Thriving Practice Community.

In this conversation, Marcus Du Sautoy explores the intricate relationship between mathematics and various forms of art, including music, literature, and visual arts. He discusses how mathematical concepts such as prime numbers, symmetry, and randomness influence creative processes and artistic expressions. Through examples from renowned artists like Shakespeare and Dali, Du Sautoy illustrates how mathematics serves as a blueprint for understanding and creating art, while also emphasizing the emotional and aesthetic dimensions of both fields.Takeaways Mathematics and art are deeply interconnected. The circle is fundamental to both mathematics and nature. Prime numbers are essential building blocks in mathematics. Music often employs mathematical structures for creativity. Shakespeare used prime numbers to disrupt rhythm. Symmetry plays a crucial role in both art and mathematics. Dali's work reflects his fascination with scientific ideas. Theatre allows for abstract exploration of mathematical concepts. Ambiguity is embraced in art but avoided in mathematics. Randomness can lead to unexpected creative outcomes.Chapters 00:00 Blueprints of Mathematics and Art 02:35 Defining Creativity and Its Interplay 04:24 Mathematicians as Collaborators with Artists 07:17 The Fractal Nature of Jackson Pollock's Art 12:54 The Significance of Circles in Mathematics 16:31 Exploring the Mystery of Prime Numbers 19:52 The Role of Primes in Music Composition 28:01 Mathematics and the Structure of Music 29:00 The Mathematical Foundations of Music 31:50 Art and Mathematics: Dali's Exploration 38:56 Theatrical Structures and Mathematical Concepts 43:46 The Distinct Narratives of Numbers and Art 48:07 Symmetry and Randomness: Blueprints of Creativity 58:49 Exploring Creativity Through MathematicsFollow Professor du Sautoy on Twitter, BlueSky, and find his new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

In the first week of our Circles series, we dive deep into the essential role relationships play in shaping our lives. Just as circles represent closeness and intentional design, our relationships define our boundaries and influence our journeys. This series unveils the divine order God designed for our relational lives.Discover how your inner circle, consisting of family, friends, church, and community, impacts your future. Relationships are tricky and complex, but they hold the power to forge our greatest victories or deepest regrets. Through biblical principles and passages from Genesis, Corinthians, Proverbs, and more, we uncover the foundational and spiritual nature of our connections.

[Joshua 5:13-14] When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded, "Are you friend or foe?" [14] "Neither one," he replied. "I am the commander of the LORD's army." At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. "I am at your command," Joshua said. "What do you want your servant to do?"Sometimes we need to be ___________________ before we can be ___________________.[Isaiah 55:8-9] "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. [9] For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.God doesn't join our ___________________, He invites us to join ___________________.[Joshua 6:3-5] You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days. [4] Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram's horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. [5] When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams' horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town."The path to the ___________________ always begins with ___________________.[Hebrews 10:36] Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God's will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.Faith means marching even when ___________________ is moving.[Joshua 6:20] When the people heard the sound of the rams' horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.The God who calls you to ___________________ is the God who brings the walls ___________________.[Joshua 1:9] This is my command--be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."Just because you don't see ___________________ doesn't mean God isn't ___________________.

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Bonnie Garmus, spoke to me about the evolution of her craft, how her protagonist changed her life, getting blurbed by Stephen King, and the never-ending book tour for her lauded debut LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY. Bonnie Garmus is a copywriter, creative director, and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel, Lessons in Chemistry, named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Oprah Daily, Entertainment Weekly, and Newsweek. The book introduced the main character, “Elizabeth Zott, a headstrong, gifted chemist in 1960s California whose career takes a detour when she becomes the unlikely star of a beloved TV cooking show.” BuzzFeed wrote of the book, “A kicky debut, this book tackles feminism, resilience, and rationalism in a fun and refreshing way.” And Stephen King called it, “witty, sometimes hilarious…the Catch-22 of early feminism.” [Discover ⁠The Writer Files Extra⁠: Get 'The Writer Files' Podcast Delivered Straight to Your Inbox at ⁠writerfiles.fm⁠] [If you're a fan of The Writer Files, please ⁠click FOLLOW to automatically see new interviews⁠.

In honor of the recent passing of the eco-philosopher, Buddhist scholar, and dear friend Joanna Macy, we return to our interview with her from 2018. In this conversation, she traces the ways a life-long heart connection with the living world cultivated a resounding ecological awareness within her work and spirituality; and explores how we might return to an “ecological self” as a way to be of service amid the climate catastrophe. Joanna was also a seminal translator of Rainer Maria Rilke's poetry, finding his contemplations on the entwinement of grief, beauty, and spiritual life deeply resonant. You can hear Joanna recite, alongside Anita Burrows, a selection of their translations in our audio story Be Earth Now.  Read the interview transcript. Photo by Adam Loften.

Welcome to The Circle of Hope Podcast! I'm Valerie Hope, and in this episode, I sit down with the creative dynamo Jeanne Lambin—facilitator, coach, storyteller, and connector. Together, we explore the art (and the heart) of building real community, showing up for each other without judgment, and crafting spaces where creativity, kindness, and meaningful connection can thrive.We talk about everything from tackling inner criticism, to “The Something” (a unique community writing group!), to what it means to truly repair relationships and nurture your inner and outer circle. Whether your “circle” is one trusted friend or a roomful of collaborators, this episode will inspire you to approach connection with more intention, gentleness, and maybe even a little improv.Watch This If:You're over surface-level small talk, and crave spaces where you can truly show upYou want practical tips for facilitating genuine group experiencesYou're battling inner judgment and need new models for self-kindness and supportYou dream of leading creative circles, workshops, or storytelling groupsYou want to UPLEVEL your “circle of hope” for more satisfying, reciprocal relationshipsKey Moments:00:00 – Jeanne and Valerie's origin story & why names matter! 02:30 – Building safe, creative spaces: What is “The Something?” 04:54 – Bypassing inner judgment: How groups normalize our challenges 09:46 – Coaching that's kind vs. coaching that's firm—finding the balance 13:33 – Friendships, feedback, and learning to be a “collaborative challenger” 21:16 – What does it mean to “repair” a conversation or relationship? 29:30 – Presence over agenda: The power of pausing, improv, and reading the room 37:38 – Curating your circle: Who feeds your spirit vs. who drains you? 49:06 – What's working and not working in connecting with others today 54:55 – Permission, time, and the challenge of asking for what you really need 59:25 – Understanding status — supporting each other without “lording” over 1:12:26 – Why the REAL work of connection always starts with self-awarenessQuotes to Remember:“One of the first rules of engagement is showing up.”“The idea is just to create a safe, supported space. There's no sharing of the work. There's no critique. It's just: Write whatever you're going to write.”“To meet your process without judgment, and be there for others to do the same.”“Listening trumps schedule or agenda.”“When you know what you need, you're more apt to find the person who can fulfill that need.”“How do you want me to listen?”“If we can sit with our thoughts, you can't change or transform what you don't notice.”“Self-absorbed isn't the same as self-aware. Circles of connection also exist inside ourselves.”What You'll Learn:How to build creative, judgment-free spaces that foster real connection (and productivity!)Strategies to manage your inner critic—through facilitation, coaching, and peer supportThe art of balancing kindness and directness when guiding othersTechniques from improv and storytelling for better group engagementWhy pausing and adapting are the facilitator's secret strengthsHow to nurture (and prune) your circle with reciprocity, honesty, and careFresh ways to ask for what you need and support others in your communityThe role of “status” in group dynamics—and how to build truly collaborative teamsContact Info:Guest: Jeanne LambinWebsite: https://www.thehumanimaginationproject.com/Website: http://jeannelambin.medium.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeannelambin/LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanne-m-lambin/Host: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #MeaningfulConnections #Community

Send us a textIn this episode, I dive into several explosive stories starting with Ghislaine Maxwell's recent DOJ interview about Jeffrey Epstein's death in prison and why I think her response keeps everyone safe while deflecting from the real client list - which leads me to break down every single person circled in Epstein's black book and what their connections might mean. Then I shift to a massive tea dump on RHOA Real Housewives of Atlanta season 17 (filming now), covering NeNe Leakes setting the record straight about comeback rumors, Kim Zolciak-Biermann's custody battle with Kroy and how she's affording her new rental, the cast shakeups including new addition K. Michelle and her scandalous backstory, plus Drew Sidora's upcoming sci-fi thriller premiere being filmed for the show. I also expose the messy financial reality behind Porsha Williams' divorce settlement with Simon Guobadia and that strategic attorney's lien, then break down Kelli Ferrell's ex-husband Chuvalo Mark Ferrell's explosive interview with Tasha K where he tells his side of their business dispute that paints a very different picture of who really built and lost Nana's Chicken and Waffles. I take you through the receipts. Finally, I investigate the bombshell $50 million lawsuit filed in 2025 against Priscilla Presley with horrific allegations about Lisa Marie Presley's death, but after digging deep into the accusers' Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko's backgrounds, I uncover why this might be the ultimate elder abuse shakedown scheme.Link to Black book with circles: https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/1508273-jeffrey-epsteins-little-black-book-redacted/TIME CODES:0:00 - Intro/Opening0:32 - Ghislaine Maxwell DOJ Interview About Epstein's Death6:38 - Epstein Black Book Deep Dive - Every Circled Name Revealed13:18 - RHOA Season 17 Tea Dump Begins14:45 - Drew Sidora vs Shamea Morton Purse Drama Aftermath16:13 - NeNe Leakes Sets Record Straight on Comeback Rumors17:44 - Kim Zolciak-Biermann Custody Battle with Kroy22:07 - Drew Sidora's Sci-Fi Movie Premiere Filming23:44 - K.

A one year course for students of the occult in their quest for wisdom, revelation and enlightenment.In the third volume of his popular series of textbooks for students of the Western mystery tradition, John Michael Greer conducts training for a self-taught course for students to advance to the third degree of the Golden Section Fellowship.Building on the lessons and meditations of The Way of the Golden Section and The Way of the Four Elements, Greer presents an accessible guide for students to comprehend and access more of their own inner capabilities, bringing them closer to – and allowing them to experience for themselves – the transcendent spiritual realities at the heart of things.Drawing on teachings from the Universal Gnostic Church, American occult teachings, and temple tradition, The Way of the Secret Temple is divided into seven circles of studies and practices, each taking at least a month to complete. Students embarking on this course will become proficient in working with sacred geometry in temple design, using palm centres to heal and bless, fulfilling the duties of each of the five minor orders of the Universal Gnostic Church, and will develop their skills of communing with the spirits of the elements – as well as much more!The Way of the Secret Temple is the third step for students of the occult to continue developing and honing the skills essential for a magical education.John Michael Greer is the award-winning author of more than fifty books, including The New Encyclopedia of the Occult, The Druidry Handbook, The Celtic Golden Dawn and Circles of Power: An Introduction to Hermetic Magic. An initiate in Freemasonry, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, the Martinist Order, and three Druid traditions, Greer served as the Grand Archdruid of the Ancient Order of Druids in America (AODA) for twelve years. He is also the author of seventeen fantasy and science fiction novels and ten nonfiction books on peak oil and the future of industrial society.
