In November of 2024 a practitioner living in Switzerland began experiencing pain and stiffness in her joints. Initially she viewed it as a disease to be treated, but with help from other practitioners she began to look for shortcomings in her cultivation and found deep seated resentments towards her husband, as well as an attachment to erotic desire she had not yet given up. Through focused Fa study and persistent self reflection her symptoms improved and she came to see the tribulation as a gift in helping her improve. This and other experience-sharing on the Minghui website. Original Articles:1. [Fahui] My Realizations While Overcoming Illness Karma2.

We're back with one of the most loved formats on Passionate & Prosperous: a real coaching session you get to listen in on and apply to your own business.In this episode, I'm coaching Caryn Bothman, a midlife coach and founder of Midlife Mama Co., who supports women navigating the transitions of midlife, empty nests, aging parents, and the “where did I go?” feeling that so many women have at this stage. Caryn is passionate about women's empowerment, personal development, and creating community through workshops, retreats, and in-person connection, but like many newer entrepreneurs, she's feeling the tension between all the things she could do and what will actually build a sustainable coaching business.We dig into where to focus first, how to think strategically about one-on-one coaching vs. group programs and workshops, and what it really takes to attract clients when you don't have a big audience yet. We talk about audience growth, list-building, lead magnets, email marketing, social media, and personal outreach, and why repetition in your messaging is not only allowed, it's required.If you've ever wondered, “Should I be doing more on social? A group program? A workshop? Where do clients even come from?” this conversation is going to feel like sitting in on a private business and marketing strategy session for your own coaching practice.In this coaching session, we dive into:How to reverse engineer your business by starting with what you actually want (income, lifestyle, and how you like to work) and building your offer strategy from thereWhy it's usually smarter to focus on one-on-one coaching first before launching group programs, memberships, and paid workshopsThe real role of workshops, talks, and live events in a profitable coaching business (and why they often work best as visibility + client attraction tools more than primary revenue streams)How to think about audience growth, lead magnets, and email list growth so you have people to invite into your offersWhy only a small percentage of your social media followers ever see your posts—and what that means about being “redundant” with your content, invitations, and calls to actionThe power of personal outreach, DM voice notes, and actual conversations in signing clients (instead of hoping a post, funnel, or sales page does all the work)How to structure discovery calls, follow-ups, and intentional communication so you're not accidentally coaching for free and then leaving people to talk themselves out of getting supportIf you're a coach or service-based entrepreneur in the earlier stages of your business—especially if you love the idea of in-person workshops, retreats, and community experiences—this episode will help you see the order of operations that actually creates a steady, prosperous coaching business.You'll also hear us talk about what it looks like to build your “yellow brick road” of offers and touchpoints over time, so that everything you do—social media, email, workshops, personal outreach, and discovery calls—works together to attract, nurture, and convert the right clients in a grounded, human way.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

“Can you clarify the Fall of Man?” This episode delves into the complexities of humanity’s original sin, exploring how Lucifer’s fall relates to Christ’s incarnation. Additionally, we tackle intriguing questions about the identity of the woman mentioned in 2 John, the credibility of the Targum Neofiti, and the implications of Old Testament commands. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:57 – Guadalupe Radio… The fall of man sounds circular to me. Can you help clarify it? Lucifer falls because he knew God would become man. Then he causes man to fall thus Christ becomes man. 15:06 – A BYU scholar claims he knows who the name is in 2 John 1. He said it’s a woman named Eclecta and his conclusion came from reading the letter of St. Clement. What are your thoughts on this and What is the Catholic position on who she is? 22:49 – What is Q? What is the evidence behind it? 36:05 – In the OT the Israelites were told to kill all men women and children in the promised land. Is it too far a stretch to connect this with Christ wanting us to kill off all sin within us? 46:10 – How credible is the Targum Neofiti? What do we as Catholics know about it? 52:10 – What is ‘this' in Matthew 16:18 that Jesus built his Church on?

This week, Susy kicks things off with a rant about a major change in Google's search algorithm. Due to new AI involvement , the podcast's 462 previous episodes are no longer easily searchable, as the new system requires full transcripts to mine data. Susy explains her new process for posting transcripts and asks listeners who can't find an old episode to private message her directly for a link.The hosts also field a listener question about the Penelo comb brush. They describe it as a "hybrid brush" with cone-shaped tines and share their favorite ways to use it, such as for detangling and helping to shed double-coated dogs during drying.Next, Susy and Bbird dive into the November 2025 issue of Groomer to Groomer magazine. Highlights include: A discussion (sparked by the October cat issue ) on the benefits of having owners assist during cat grooming. Reviewing an article on "Pet Owners an Underutilized Resource" , leading to a debate on the pros and cons of owners brushing at home. Their pick for the best article: "The Theory Behind the Fluff" by Dylan Gonzalez, which details Asian Fusion styling. Other favorites: an article on exercises at the grooming table , the "flippy dryer" pet peeve article by Jennifer Bishop Jenkins , and Daryl Connor's piece on dryer maintenance. A look at the All American competition winners , including the Day of the Dead-themed People's Choice winner and explanations of the "Compassionate Groomer" and "Clipper Challenge" categories. Finally, the episode provides an in-depth breakdown of Results Rinse , a product Barbara helped Show Season develop. Barbara explains it is an acidifier with detangling ability designed for use when traditional conditioning is too heavy. They cover its many uses:Restoring springiness to coats (like Bichons) without adding weight. Clarifying the coat and removing product buildup or smoke odors. Controlling odor by lowering the skin's pH. Speeding up drying time. Locking in creative color by closing the hair cuticle.They also share application tips, including using it in a recirculating system or as a pour-through rinse , and Suzy's favorite "magic bullet" combo: mixing it with Best Shot The Max.

Your best friend used to be your first call. Now you have to schedule weeks in advance just to see her, and her new boyfriend keeps calling your friendship "codependent." A listener named Sarah shares: "My best friend and I have been inseparable for six years. We talk every day, we're each other's emergency contacts, and honestly she feels more like family than my actual family. But lately her new boyfriend has been making comments about how 'codependent' we are and how she needs to 'prioritize him now.' She's starting to pull back and it's breaking my heart. Am I wrong to feel like she's my person? How do I communicate to her that what we have matters just as much without sounding jealous or clingy?" In this episode, we unpack the invisible hierarchy of love that puts romance at the top and pushes friendships aside. You'll hear why speaking up for the relationships that matter isn't selfish, it's necessary, and how to advocate for your connections without being dismissed as jealous or needy. What You'll Hear In This Episode: Why romantic love doesn't automatically rank higher than friendship love How the "codependent" label gets weaponized against close friendships What it means when a partner asks someone to "prioritize him now" The real reason you're afraid of sounding jealous or clingy How to start the conversation without triggering defensiveness When to recognize someone is making you smaller in their life Want to track what's working (and what's not) in your dating life?

War Fighting vs. Law Enforcement: Clarifying US Operations Against Venezuelan Drug Trafficking Mary Kissel John Batchelor speaks with Mary Kissel about the confusion regarding the US stance on Venezuela and Maduro. Kissel questions if the large offshore fleet suggests war fighting—making it acceptable to bomb boats and kill people—or if drug trafficking should be handled as a criminal enterprise requiring apprehension and justice processes. She notes that figures like Marco Rubio and Chris Landau would likely support a stronger, deterrent policy. 1917
For those who want an even more accurate assesment of what we discussed today, our friends at Shinesparkers released an article professionally translating the Nintendo Dream article from Japanese to English. This was released the day after we recorded, so it's not brought up in the episode. Most of what we discussed still stands, but there are a couple areas that their translation addresses which we did not accurately speculate on. Last week, a new Metroid Prime 4: Beyond article published by Nintendo Dream, a Japanese based magazine, was released and quickly spread throughout the Metroid community like wildfire. This led to all sorts of discussions on the possbilities that these new revelations could be hinting at. While doing some research for this episode however, we noticed that a lot of the juicer info being talked about in the community stemmed not from the Nintendo Dream article, but from a piece by Universo Nintendo written by 'Necro' Felipe Lima attempting to translate the article from Japanese to Portuguese which has since been deleted. Being that a lot of this information is translated between 2 different languages, we realized that some of the stuff being talked about in the community might not be entirely accurate. Today, Doominal Crossing is joined by Dakota Latsky making his grand return as the two attempt to dissect this info once and for all. The duo goes over both the original Nintendo Dream article (with the help of Google Translate) as well as the Universo Nintendo follow-up to get an answer on what's fact, what's fiction and where the mistranslation happened. All of this, plus a short follow-up discussion on new details from both of the 16 second Metroid Prime 4: Beyond spots discovered on YouTube, which we also covered on OmegaMetroid.com!

Open Forum: Pastor Amos led the Open Forum meeting by reflecting on the completion of the Bible Basics series and outlining the upcoming conclusion of the Revelation series by November, with December services likely focused on Christmas and New Year. He raised a critical question about CFE's identity—whether it is a church, ministry. Discussions with Derrick emphasized repositioning ministry school to focus more on deep biblical study than pastoral roles, while Pastor Amos highlighted the rising relevance of AI in ministry and encouraged participation in Sonja's AI community. Sonja shared details of her upcoming AI workshop for cancer support, and Pastor Amos commented on the recent Middle East peace agreement. The group also explored interpreting visions through Scripture, the relevance of Revelation, and the nature of prophetic imagery, with Pastor Amos emphasizing spiritual grounding and the practical message of Revelation. Additional discussions included dispensational theology, the influence of digital information on faith, and a call for unity and simplicity in spiritual guidance. The session closed with a focus on personal responsibility in witnessing, God-centered ministry, and continued engagement with Scripture as the foundation for spiritual growth.

The story of God has always been about faith. The covenant is permanent, the law gave perspective, and Jesus fulfilled the promise so we could be made right with God by faith alone. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
