This week's Dawgs OTL episode brought that rivalry-week edge — Chito and Keegan open up a mix of sharp analysis, inside talk, and a few eyebrow-raising takes about what's really brewing behind the scenes in the SEC. The guys really peeled back the layers on Georgia–Florida in a way that felt more like a chess match than a football game. Tensions, adjustments, and a few surprises are all on deck. Let's just say this episode might change how you see Saturday's kickoff.Thanks for listening and Go Dawgs !

This week I speak with Dr. Jerry L. Woodbridge who is a Christian author and educator specializing in grief support and education. After experiencing the sudden loss of her husband, she guided her own children through grief, inspiring her to write books that offer hope and healing. Her works include Trading My Sorrows: For the Joy of the Lord, which explores widowhood and faith-based healing. Joy Overcame Sorrow, a children's book on grief and resilience and Joy's Journal, which provides guided questions, thoughtful prompts, and space to write, as you explore Joy's story while making sense of your own emotions. As a dedicated 40-year educator, Jerry has impacted countless lives, teaching students from K-9th grade and mentoring doctoral candidates in higher education. She currently serves as an assistant professor in the School of Education at Liberty University, where she is known for her caring, supportive, and inspirational teaching style. We look at her childhood up to the present to find the beautiful thread of Jesus in her life.

Some situations don't change overnight. Jobs take time. Health takes time. Relationships take time. So what can you do now—while you're still under the circumstances? In Part 3, we get practical about agency: the few things you can choose when so much feels chosen for you. No pressure to “fix” everything, just a sane plan for the next right step.

Uflourish Church Elder, Ed Wade, wraps up our series in Philippians with a message from Paul's closing words, encouraging us to trust God as our provider, because it is His power and His promise that will see us through. So, rather than passively letting life just happen to us, we can recognize every situation as a new opportunity to serve God from a foundation of joy.

The phrase that won't leave my head is simple: regardless of circumstance. Not the kind of confidence that shows up when the room is friendly and the clock is kind—but the kind that stays steady when the stakes jump, the rules change, and the finish line disappears. I walk through what that looks like when a kid drains a paper ball until push-ups are on the line, when love pulls in two directions no text can fix, when a savings plan meets a totaled car, and when creative work asks you to keep going long after applause would have helped.We unpack the difference between belief that depends on comfort and belief that survives consequences. I share why some destinations don't change no matter how many detours you take, and how to protect your time by choosing the straighter path. From mapping a real plan to provide for someone you love—even if the numbers are tight—to stacking cash for legal support and still hitting a year-end goal, the throughline is ownership. Not bravado. Not luck. Ownership that plans for friction, presses through setbacks, and keeps promises out loud.If you've ever felt your confidence vanish when the moment mattered, or watched your goals wobble after one bad week, this is the reset. We talk reps under pressure, the “by any means” posture without the theatrics, and the no-finish-line mindset that keeps a podcast alive through changing co-hosts, broken cameras, and quiet months. I'm still here because the standard is the standard, even when nobody's looking. Hit play, then tell me: which promise are you keeping regardless of circumstance?

Navigating Life When It Falls Off The Rails   Sometimes life takes a turn you never saw coming. One moment everything feels steady, predictable, maybe even comfortable — and then suddenly, the tracks shift, and you're left wondering how to move forward. As an amputee, I've had my share of moments where life completely fell off the rails. Moments that tested not just my strength, but my heart. Let's talk about what it really feels like when life doesn't go the way you hoped, and how I've learned to keep a positive heart posture even in the middle of the mess. I'll share the honest truth — that staying positive isn't about pretending everything's fine. It's about choosing, every single day, to look for the light even when the darkness feels closer. It's about deciding to see possibility instead of limitation, hope instead of defeat. I talk about what helped me shift my mindset from frustration to faith, from “why me?” to “what now?” Because life isn't about avoiding the derailments — it's about how we respond when they happen. I've discovered that when we meet life with an open heart, even the hardest seasons can become our greatest teachers. Having a positive heart posture doesn't mean you won't have bad days. It means you show up anyway. You breathe through the pain, you give yourself grace, and you keep moving forward — even if it's just one step at a time. Through tears, laughter, and maybe a few tough lessons, I've learned that our strength isn't built when everything's going right; it's built in the moments when everything feels like it's falling apart. My hope is that this episode reminds you that no matter where you are in your journey, you can start again. You can choose to rebuild, to believe, and to live with a heart that stays open to joy, even when life doesn't go as planned. Because sometimes, when life falls off the rails, it's just leading us to a new and unexpected destination — one that's even more beautiful than before. This week I want you to end your day writing down 3 things you are grateful for. Do this every day and see if it doesn't help you shift your perspective and get you into a more positive mindset and heart posture. Who knows, this may become your new norm and a habit you carry through life! Sometimes you'll find it hard, in the midst of struggle, to see the positive but if you really search I know you can find 3 things that are positives in your life. Dig deep and search your heart. I pray you have a blessed week ahead, and as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!! Much love,

Children's minister Norma Foley has asked Tusla's national review panel to urgently examine the circumstances around how a 10-year-old girl in the care of Tusla was allegedly sexually assaulted. Cormac spoke to Helen Buckley, National Review Panel Chair.

For many people, contentment feels just out of reach—always tied to the next raise, the next purchase, or the next season of life. Yet Scripture calls us to something deeper and more lasting: a contentment that doesn't depend on circumstances but rests in Christ Himself.Psalm 23 begins with a stunning declaration:“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” — Psalm 23:1 (NLT)David's words remind us that contentment doesn't come from acquiring more but from trusting the One who provides. Just as sheep rest securely under the care of their shepherd, we can rest in God's faithful provision.True contentment isn't about suppressing desire—it's about redirecting it. When we find sufficiency in Christ rather than in money, possessions, or achievements, we're freed from the trap of covetousness and anchored in the truth that in Him, we already have all we truly need.The Ancient Lie of DiscontentmentDiscontentment has plagued humanity from the beginning. In Eden, Adam and Eve had everything they needed, yet the serpent's lie convinced them they lacked something essential. Discontentment still whispers, “God is holding out on you—you'd be better off if you had more.”Today, that same voice is amplified through advertising, social media, and cultural comparison. We scroll through highlight reels and feel our lives don't measure up. But Hebrews 13:5 offers the antidote:“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'”The cure for discontentment isn't having more—it's remembering that God is always with us.The Freedom of “Enough”Contentment is not resignation—it's liberation. It frees us from envy, overspending, and the crushing weight of comparison. Instead of striving endlessly for more, we learn to steward wisely what God has entrusted to us.Proverbs 30:8–9 captures this balanced perspective beautifully:“Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is needful for me…”The wise steward seeks enough—not excess. When we live this way, our financial decisions change. We spend with purpose. We give with joy. We save with peace. Contentment reorients money from being our master to being a tool for God's Kingdom.Think of the widow of Zarephath in 1 Kings 17. With only a handful of flour and a little oil left, she faced famine. Yet when Elijah asked her to make him a cake first, she trusted God's word—and He provided, not with overflowing barns, but with daily sufficiency.Or consider the Macedonian believers in 2 Corinthians 8. Paul wrote,“In a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity.”Despite having little, they gave with glad hearts because their contentment was in Christ, not in their circumstances.These examples remind us that contentment and generosity often go hand in hand. When we are satisfied in Christ, we're free to bless others.Trusting the God Who ProvidesAt the heart of contentment is trust. Jesus said in Matthew 6:25–26,“Do not be anxious about your life… Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”Contentment flows from believing that God knows what we need and delights to provide for His children. As Elisabeth Elliot once wrote, “The secret is Christ in me, not me in a different set of circumstances.”When Christ becomes our treasure, everything else finds its proper place.That's why Paul could say in 1 Timothy 6:6:“Godliness with contentment is great gain.”Contentment isn't a loss—it's true gain. It's the kind of wealth no market downturn can erase and no thief can steal. Choosing contentment doesn't mean settling for less; it means resting in the sufficiency of Christ.When we stop chasing “more” and start trusting God's daily provision, we discover freedom, peace, and joy. That's the essence of faithful stewardship—not just managing money, but aligning our hearts with the One who promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own several rental properties and would like to leave one to each of my children. I still want to collect the rental income, but I'd like to avoid probate and ensure a smooth transition when I pass away. How can I set up a trust to do that, and what's the best way to move forward?I got divorced in my mid-50s and had to start over from scratch. I'm now 66 with a little over $37,000 in my 401(k), which I'm eligible to roll over into an IRA. I'd really like to invest that money through a biblically based firm, but most of the ones I've contacted require a minimum investment of $50,000. Do you have any suggestions? And how can I build my savings over the next four years? $37,000 won't last long.I'm retired, and my husband will be retiring soon. We don't have a lot saved, but he does have a 401(k) through work. We're unsure what to do with it or how to ensure we'll have enough to live on in retirement. Can you help us think through the next steps?I work with students, and I've offered to invest $4,000, allowing them to choose some stocks to learn how investing works. Since I'll keep the money but let them make the decisions, what's the best way to buy individual stocks for this kind of project?My daughter's credit score is around 625, and she's committed to improving it. My score is over 800, and I've heard that adding her as an authorized user on my credit card could help her.

Send us a textHow external circumstances can influence inner peace and its importance in personal and global contexts is what this week's episode covers. We reflect on recent events, including political situations, and the dialogue emphasizes the need for balance between intellect and emotion, the role of leadership in fostering peace, and the significance of timing in life's opportunities. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a reminder that true peace begins within oneself and is essential for navigating life's challenges."I was radiating peace (from) inside."  In this conversation, the speakers explore the theme of peace from a spiritual perspective, discussing the importance of balancing intellect and emotion to find and maintain peace, the role of inner and outer leadership in fostering peace, and the necessity of finding inner peace amidst the chaos of life for personal evolution.  "I come in alone, I go out alone."  What does that mean?  They also emphasize the significance of self-awareness and the impact of one's inner state on external circumstances, ultimately advocating for a peaceful approach to life's challenges. TakeawaysThe keyword for this week is peace.Radiating peace internally can influence external situations.Inner peace is essential for navigating external influences.Leaderships' role in fostering peace.Recognizing and acting on ripe opportunities is key.Personal responsibility is vital for raising one's state of awareness.Finding peace within oneself is a prerequisite for being of true service.Life is a game, and maintaining perspective is essential.Season 1 Episode 43 of Spiritual Perspectives: Discerning News...Discover spiritual truths delivered in a practical way in these three e-books created by The Wayshowers College.

Sometimes when a person disappears it make sense. People run away, accidents happen, or there's at least a trail of evidence. But then there are cases that leave you staring at the facts and realizing they don't add up and that's exactly what we're looking at today. Welcome to Scary Mysteries. Here are 5 People Who Vanished Under Impossible Circumstances.

What if the secret to joy isn't more but less? John and Nancy reflect on a lighthouse keeper's sacred task (watcher of the infinite) and draw a striking parallel to our own spiritual calling. Contentment, Nancy says, is elusive. You find it, lose it, and have to find your way back...maybe 76 times a day. But contentment comes not from how much we have, but where we look. The invitation is to scan the horizon not for what we want, but for what God is already doing.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team

Real life friend, 7x podcast guest, and multi-award winning author Eden Royce joins me from England as we get to catch up, talk her latest works, and more! We start things off by talking about her latest book, Psychopomp & Circumstance. It's her first published work geared towards adults. Billed as a historical southern gothic fantasy, we talk about how this book came about. From her writing process for adults vs children, the themes of the books, the characters, and the setting. I won an ARC, so I was able to read it a few months ago and there are certain scenes that still stick with me from this book. We also talk about some of her previously published works. Then, Eden talks about her latest announcement. Eden is co-writing a horror/thriller anime called Webe: Spirit Detective under the production company, N LITE, and being executive producerd by Jaden and Willow Smith. Eden talks about how she was found specifically for this movie, the work and how its different than writing her novels and short stories, and what this may lead to for the future. Eden and I talk about which works of hers may she'd love to see get translated for the visual medium. We wrap things up by talking about what she's working on currently or planning for the future!

Some seasons feel like someone turned the lights down and forgot to tell you where the switch is. In Part 2, we get practical about navigating dark patches—naming what's real, noticing small signals of hope, and taking the next doable step (not all the steps). No clichés, no “just think positive.” Just a grounded conversation to help you breathe, re-orient, and keep moving.

This week, we step into the opening verses of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus begins with the Beatitudes—blessings that completely redefine what it means to live a full and meaningful life. Jesus calls “blessed” those who are humble, merciful, pure in heart, and even those who face persecution for following Him. Pastor Jesse […] The post Matthew 5:1-12 – Blessed Beyond Circumstance: The Character of Kingdom People appeared first on Sierra Bible Church.

Our identity isn't defined by where we've been or what we've done—it's shaped by the grace of Christ. In Luke 7, a woman with a shattered reputation pours out worship at Jesus' feet. Her past was public, but her faith was personal. Others saw her sin; Jesus saw her soul. While some scoffed, He forgave. Redemption sees no status—only surrender. And in that surrender, we find refuge. Romans 8 declares that nothing can separate us from God's love. In Christ, we're not just survivors of our circumstances—we're more than conquerors, positioned in grace and purposed for glory.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm diving into what it really takes to move through the unknown without letting fear or control run the show. As I prepare to lead a retreat in Sedona, I'm exploring why our minds grip so tightly when life feels uncertain—and how that tension in our thoughts, emotions, and nervous system keeps us stuck in old loops of survival. When we learn to regulate our body, release the old identity that fears the unknown, and anchor into the calm trust of our future self, life begins to open in ways we could never have planned. ✨ If you've ever felt on the edge of a new chapter but afraid to let go of control, this conversation will help you step into trust, alignment, and the peace that comes from letting life lead.   Your weekly reflection questions: When you think about the next chapter of your life, do you notice your mind trying to control the unknown—or can you let yourself trust what you can't yet see?   What stories does your Inner Critic tell you when things feel uncertain, and how do those stories show up in your body?   If your future self—calm, grounded, and trusting—were here right now, how would she breathe, respond, or move through this moment?  

In this powerful episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex VanHouten sits down with nurse, fitness instructor, and Revelation Wellness trainer Kim Dobbs to explore how faith and fitness come together in the hardest seasons of life.From raising three boys to walking through the unimaginable grief of losing her son, mother, and mother-in-law, Kim shares how God used movement, worship, and community to sustain her. She offers practical insights for anyone who feels “too old” or “too uncoordinated” to start exercising, reminding us that every step is stewardship and every movement is worship.Together, Alex and Kim dive into biblical themes of embodied discipleship, the role of Christian music in fitness, and how staying active keeps us strong in both body and spirit. Whether you're walking through grief, leading a class, or just trying to stay consistent, this episode will encourage you to train hard, pray harder, and see your body as a temple to steward, not a problem to fix.

In the first of three messages based on the Apostle Paul's view of circumcision, we look at the common problem of defining our value and spirituality based upon our life circumstances. Too often, we think our relationship or vocational status must change in order to truly experience the Christian life. In 1 Corinthians 7, Paul argues strongly that the fullness of the Christian life is available to anyone, anywhere. Therefore, when we think certain circumstances are more sacred or valuable to God, we are missing the gospel and drifting into a dangerous form of idolatry.

Life doesn't always play nice. Plans fall apart, bad news lands, and it can feel like you've been left to figure it out alone. In this kickoff episode, Sue Buchanan talks about what to do under the circumstances—how to be honest about the mess, make room for grief, and still move forward with hope. No churchy jargon, no quick fixes—just a real conversation about carrying heavy things without being crushed by them.

Sudden or even long-term setbacks in our lives can disorient us, impairing our decision-making. Circumstances beyond our control leave us where we can't focus, and we can't see what's behind our difficulties. It's then that we can't make good decisions. If we don't know if our problems are caused by emotional, mental, or physical challenges, we can't see our way out of the forest. Identifying the source helps us settle into God's perfect peace, and He's given us the ability to make good choices when dealing with issues beyond our control. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability. But with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”  You hear that—God will provide, and you can endure. Let's pray. Lord, in our imperfect state, our bodies sometimes fail us. We don't know if up is down or which direction to go. In those moments, bring to our minds the knowledge that we can seek your good solutions, whether it be medical, or psychological. It's then we can find ourselves set on the right path to health and wholeness. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Restoring a kingdom perspective about circumstances and people is about letting God redefine how we see what's around us. Instead of reacting out of emotion or frustration, we begin to respond with faith, grace, and understanding. It's choosing to see both challenges and people through the lens of God's purpose and love.

Worship Leader Taylor Cummings reflects on how trees with deep roots picture a life firmly trusting God—drawing from His life-giving source and bearing fruit in every season. Rooted in His love, unseen depth produces visible, enduring fruit.

In today's devo, John talks about Jerry Hawthorne, a beloved teacher and mentor, and how he described Paul's teaching on joy as more than a mood; it is a worldview. True joy is not about forcing a smile or pretending everything is fine. It is a peace-filled posture toward life that accepts both hardship and blessing with trust in God's presence. This joy stands as “defiant nevertheless,” an attitude that refuses to let sorrow, fear, or loss have the final word.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.TEXT US at 855-888-0444EMAIL US at connect@becomenew.comGET OUR WEEKDAY EMAILS WITH EXTRA GOODIES at becomenew.com/subscribeGET A TEXT REMINDER FOR NEW VIDEOS: text BECOME to 855-888-0444SEND US PRAYER REQUESTS: via text or email; we'll send you a written prayer from our team
