Planning for retirement can feel overwhelming, especially as you approach the transition from earning a paycheck to relying on your savings. The early phase of retirement brings unique challenges, and it's no surprise that there are plenty of misconceptions that can lead you astray. In this episode, we break down five of the most prevalent retirement myths, share insights from working with clients, and offer practical guidance to help you make confident, personalized decisions for your future.   1. "I'll Spend Less In Retirement Than When I Was Working"   This is one of the most widespread assumptions—and financial media often reinforces it by suggesting you'll only need 70-80% of your pre-retirement income. However, the reality is often quite different. In early retirement, spending typically increases as retirees suddenly have more time for activities, hobbies, and travel that were perhaps squeezed out during their working years. Parental obligations can linger, with adult children sometimes relying on financial assistance well into their late twenties or thirties. Unexpected repairs, long-postponed home improvements, or even a burst of "retirement honeymoon" spending are common. Recognizing these patterns, and planning for them, can help set more realistic expectations for your retirement budget.   2. "I Don't Have Time to Recover from a Market Downturn Anymore"   It's natural to become risk-averse as retirement nears; no one wants to see years of savings diminished by a bear market. Today's retirees are living longer than previous generations—often enjoying 25, 30, or even 35 years in retirement. This expanded timeline means you still have the potential (and perhaps the need) to ride out stock market fluctuations and recover from downturns. Avoiding growth assets altogether in favor of perceived "safety" may actually represent a different kind of risk: the erosion of purchasing power due to inflation.   3. "I'll Only Spend Interest and Never Touch My Principal"   This "live-off-the-interest" approach may have worked in an era of higher interest rates, but it's limiting in today's environment. We advocate for a total-return strategy: you draw from a mix of interest, dividends, and capital gains as appropriate. This helps maximize your spending potential and accounts for variable needs and market fluctuations. Clinging to the old mindset of never spending principal may feel safer, but it can artificially constrain your quality of life and generosity toward loved ones or causes you care about.    4. "I Shouldn't Retire Before 65 Because of Health Insurance"   Many people believe they must keep working until Medicare eligibility at 65 due to concerns about the high cost and complexity of health insurance. While the Affordable Care Act and COBRA have shifted the landscape, these options are often misunderstood or overlooked. Model retirement scenarios and run cost estimators to see if pre-65 retirement is out of reach or if it might be achievable—perhaps with an added planned expense for private insurance or by using available subsidies. Make decisions based on personalized numbers, not generalizations or fear. Sometimes, paying for private health insurance can be a worthwhile trade-off for earlier retirement and the memories made with family and friends.   5. "I Don't Need to Worry About Long-Term Care—I'll Just Stay in My Home"   It's tempting to imagine that aging in place solves long-term care needs, but the reality is that nearly 80% of retirees require some form of long-term care eventually. Whether it's in-home assistance or moving to a residential community, the costs are significant—often $80,000 per year or more, and potentially much higher for round-the-clock or specialized care. Failing to plan for these expenses may burden loved ones and potentially result in less-than-desired care options. Medicaid is not a reliable fallback for most financially secure retirees.   Outline of This Episode   01:53 Why early retirement often brings increased spending  05:26 Rethinking life expectancy reality 06:44 Discussing financial planning strategies 09:25 Misconception about living off interest 13:22 Financial plan modeling: test scenarios to see if earlier retirement is feasible 17:13 Importance of clarifying care intentions before a crisis arises     Resources & People Mentioned   7 Common Misconceptions about Retirement Planning | CCRRBC Inheritocracy by Eliza Filby About the Affordable Care Act | HHS.gov Medicare Finances: A Perspective on the 2026 Trustees Report

When we cling to something, we are declaring there's a threat of great loss should we let go. 

Jacob came out of the womb grabbing his brother's heel—and spent decades grabbing for blessings God had already promised him. Then one night at a river, God dislocated his hip, and the grasping finally became clinging. If you're exhausted from striving—performing, positioning, white-knuckling your way toward a life you can't seem to secure—this message is for you. Learn why Jacob's limp was actually a blessing, why grace meets you while you're on the run, and why the God who renamed Jacob wants to rename your sorrow too.

Mitch McConnell has been in hospital for three weeks. His office hasn't said why. This has happened before. Many times.From ancient Rome and Churchill's secret stroke in 1953, to Biden's very public deterioration on live television in 2024, this is the complete history of politicians who refused to leave, and the systems that helped them hide it. We also look at Robert Byrd, the West Virginia senator who went from a terrible person to civil rights advocate across a fifty-year career, and whether a very long political career can ever actually be justified. Plus: the case for younger leadership, from Zohran Mamdani freezing rents in New York at 34 to Jacinda Ardern passing gun reform in ten days at 37.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Why do so many Christians cling to a pre-tribulation rapture even after seeing the verses examined in context? In this study, we'll explore why deeply rooted traditions can be hard to break and how we can learn to read prophecy through Scripture itself—not simply through what we've always been taught.

In this episode of the Man Talk Show, I am joined by the legendary author David Deida to explore his profound new book, The Man of Zero. We dive deep into the concept of "zero"—a unique phase of emptiness, purposelessness, and outgrowing standard adulthood that many successful men eventually encounter.Together, we unpack how to view depression as a powerful gateway, navigate relationship dynamics with strong partners, and shift from a life driven by constant doing into the effortless strength of pure presence. Whether you are currently feeling completely unmotivated or are looking to cultivate a deeper devotional polarity in your intimacy, this conversation offers a paradigm-shifting roadmap for the modern man.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00:08 - Introduction to David Deida and The Man of Zero00:02:32 - Defining the "Zero" Phase of Emptiness and Purposelessness00:06:57 - Exploring Depression as a Gateway00:11:12 - The Power of Pure Being and Universal Alignment00:14:40 - The Three Phases of Masculinity: Basic Man, Superior Man, and the Man of Zero00:23:10 - Connecting with Universal Awareness in Ourselves and Others00:30:34 - Shifting From the Experience of Numbness to the Space of the Perceiver00:36:40 - Navigating Relationship Conflict and the Clinging to Peace00:43:56 - Cultivating Sexual Attraction and Devotional Polarity from Zero00:51:38 - Processing Inherited Patterns of Shame and Guilt00:57:00 - Finding Freedom and Deep Presence with Strong Partners01:02:29 - Closing Thoughts and Where to Find Free Resources***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Switching jobs is always a risk, but with high unemployment and iffy economic vibes, right now it feels even riskier. That's why more Canadians are hanging onto their jobs, which is not so great for them — or the economy. Plus, we explore why tinned fish is reeling in a sea of protein-hungry consumers. And, this year's World Cup is expected to be the biggest money-making event in sports history. So, who gets a piece of that pie?

Just as God has a work he wants to do in your life, so does the enemy. The devil wants to do a work in your mind. He wants to do his nasty work in your heart. And he wants to bring absolute destruction to your relationships. And here's the really dangerous thing … you may just be doing the devil's work for him. That's right – you might be causing the destruction yourself. Most of us have partnered with the enemy and without even knowing it, we've been doing his nasty work for him. We've made his job easy. Paul warns us of this in Ephesians 4: 26-27, “Don't sin by letting anger control you. Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” Here's what this DOES NOT MEAN – this does not mean you can never be angry. This doesn't mean you have to smile and always be happy. There is righteous anger. There are times when it is right to be angry. Jesus flipped a few tables in his day. You don't have to be a pushover. In fact, God's word even warns us that it's not good to just go along with the crowd. We are to stand up for what is right. We are to be the light in the darkness. We are to cast out demons and evict evil. But, here's what we cannot do – we cannot let anger control us. You can have anger – but don't let anger have you. There's a difference. When anger has you, it takes control of your mind and your mouth. When anger has you, you lash out and you act in a way that is not honoring of God. When anger has you, you sin. Don't sin by letting anger control you. Where has anger taken control of you and left you thinking, saying and doing things you don't even want to? Do you see this anywhere in your life? Do you know how that happened? Plain and simple, you didn't put a time limit on that anger. You can feel what you need to feel, but you can't allow yourself an open ended space to feel those negative feelings because then they take root and they begin growing in you. Whatever grows in you begins to take over you. This week I was sitting in a small village in southern Italy just looking at the old stone buildings and architecture. I noticed a grapevine that had grown up the side of the building. But then the grapevine had began to grow into the building. Attaching itself to the stone, wrapping itself around the railings, and literally growing to become part of the building. The grapevine was creating damage to the stone walls and taking over the walkway. This is the perfect picture of what happens within us with anything we allow to grow. We are taken over. Some of us have angry grapevines growing on every surface, creating damage and destruction. It didn't happen instantly, it happened over time. Time. God works with time, but so does the enemy of your soul. If you give God time, he will radically change your life and set you free. If you give the devil time, he will wreck your heart, corrupt your mind, and destroy your life. And this is why Paul says, “Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” This is about time. If you give the devil time with your anger, he will do his nasty work and eat you up on the inside. All anger, even justified anger, must be managed with a time limit. Anger absolutely cannot take up permanent residence in your heart and mind! How much time will you give anger? Something makes you mad – okay – so how long will you allow yourself to be mad over that? Paul says, NOT EVEN A FULL DAY. That's what it means to not let the sun go down on your anger. Don't let today's anger flow into tomorrow. Don't go to bed mad about this and wake up mad about it again. Set a time limit on that anger. Unlimited anger with the free rein of time gives the devil a foothold. Do you know what a foothold is? Think of it like this – if a bad guy is chasing you and you run into your house, but he sticks his foot in the door before you get it closed, that's a foot hold. With his foot in the door, he can gain access and do damage. It might only be a 3 inch crack, but if he gets his foot in the door, then you are left vulnerable. That's what anger without a time limit does in your life – it lets the devil get his foot in the door to your life. That small opening gives him access to do great damage. It may not feel like it, but even that justified anger that lingers can make you spiritually vulnerable. There comes a point with anger where we almost cherish it. We find delight in replaying the story, retelling the events, and rekindling the anger. The more people we can get to join us in that anger, the better. But that's only better for the enemy. Now he has greater access to more hearts. Footholds are everywhere, and we are creating them! 1 Corinthians 13:6 TPT says, “Love finds no delight in what is wrong.” Really think about that. We are called to love. That is our purpose and our mission. Love finds no delight in what is wrong. That means when we are living according to the way God has called us to live, we don't happily point out and talk about what is wrong. We don't joyfully retell the story about what is wrong or who is wrong. Why are we making our conversations all about what is wrong? We have to stop that! Find something better to talk about. My goodness, there has to be something better to talk about. And here's the thing … someone just has to turn the conversation and redirect it to what is right … I'm pretty sure God has asked YOU to be that person. I often make it a daily goal to “take no delight in what is wrong”. I can fall into the trap of watching something bad unfold and secretly enjoy the show. I caught myself just yesterday watching an angry old man on the train to Rome causing a ruckus for everyone around him. It was delighting to my eyes like entertainment. I wanted to hear the fighting. I wanted others to get involved. I was literally delighting in what was wrong, and that simply IS NOT LOVE. The enemy had a little opening to my heart and actively began working on my dislike of this human who I didn't even know. My facial expressions told everyone else on that train that I was with them in their anger towards an old man who was clearly having a very bad day. That's not right. That's not God's way. In fact, I'm just actively doing the devil's work for him. I'm part of the problem. Paul gives us the solution earlier in Ephesians 4:2, “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love.” Can we just make allowance for each other’s faults? Can we be tolerant with one another? Can we remember that sometimes people have bad days? Can we remember that some people are carrying heavy burdens within that we know nothing about? Can we assume the best instead of the worst and allow space for our differences without anger? This isn't just for strangers on a train, this is for the people we live with. Can we just allow space for rough mornings, overwhelmed minds, and poor choices of words sometimes? Can we give grace where they are wrong without making it all about us? You know what that does – that slams the door on the enemy. If his foot was trying to slip in there, his toes got smashed! The devil gets no foothold because my anger isn't necessary and it's simply not allowed here in the things that ultimately don't even matter. But when it does matter – and sometimes it does – what's important for us to remember is SET A TIME LIMIT on that anger. Don't let the anger grow and fester. If you keep replaying the offense, the resentment will grow and bitterness will take root. And that bitterness is like the angry grapevine that attaches to you and creates destruction. It just won't let go. It will wrap around you and force its way in. The foothold given to the devil becomes his stronghold. And if he has a stronghold on your heart, then you become the angry bitter woman you never wanted to be – and the woman no one wants to be around. Clinging to anger helps the enemy accomplish his work. He is the accuser, the divider, the destroyer, the condemner … and we partner with him in our anger and begin doing his work for him. We accuse instead of restore. We divide instead of reconcile. We wound instead of heal. We rehearse offenses rather than extend grace. This isn't love … this is the enemy's trap and we fall right in and become his slaves in his nasty work. When you feel angry, deal with it quickly. Don't nurture it. Don't let it settle it. Set a time limit and when the time is up, let it go. Your heart NEEDS YOU TO LET IT GO NOW. Before the sun goes down, let it go.

Hello to you listening in Lanús, Argentina! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. In my mind's eye I see that child on the Jersey Shore  arms spread wide clasping the inflated beach ball to her chest, fingers stretched and gripping, eyes barely peeking over the top. Along comes mom with a triple-decker ice cream cone - 3 scoops - all chocolate. The child wants both: beach ball and ice cream; but can hold only one. Now what? After tears, frustration, stomping around something or someone wins out. Who do you recognize here? Because no matter how old we become some things never change: we want both but have to choose one. The choices we make can become our greatest adventures if we're bold. When we let go of what we're desperately clinging to we might very well end up with the biggest prize of all: the one true life that is meant for us. Story Prompt: Find a memory moment when you were presented with a choice, maybe like the beach ball and ice cream cone. You wanted both; but could have only one. Which did you choose and how come? Write that story and share it out loud!  You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

As Labour MPs abandon the Prime Minister in droves, will they find a candidate willing to mount a challenge?  Could it be Andy Burnham & can he even return to Westminster in time to become eligible? With Aaron Bastani, Michael Walker & Paul Holden.

British prime minister Keir Starmer is clinging to power after scores of Labour MPs – and several ministers – called on him to resign or at least plot a clear path for a change in leadership.The immediate prompt is the collapse of the Labour vote during the local elections which saw more than 1,500 councillors lose their seats.Add the party's losses at the devolved elections in Scotland and Wales and the turnaround in Labour's fortunes since its landslide general election win couldn't be more stark.But do the roots of dissatisfaction with the solid, steady and uncharismatic Starmer, and the party, go much deeper than a few bad days at the polls?And while he says he is going nowhere and that he will stay and fight Reform UK for “the soul of Britain”, is his position really tenable? Is there a contender in the wings, waiting for the chance to oust him from Number 10, someone who would be more popular with Labour voters?Irish Times London correspondent Mark Paul reflects on a dramatic day in Westminster.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

While the sun represents the soul, the moon represents our mind (Manas) and the lens through which we experience reality. We'll explore why your mood changes so quickly, how to "garden" your mind to remove negative thoughts, and the importance of environment in cultivating emotional resilience. Whether you are looking to understand your relationship with your mother or find where you feel most at home, your moon sign offers a clear map to your inner world.

Color: Purple Old Testament: Genesis 22:1–14 Psalm: Psalm 43; antiphon: v. 5 Epistle: Hebrews 9:11–15 Gospel: John 8:42–59 Gospel: John 8:46–59 Introit: Psalm 43:3–5; antiphon: vv. 1–2a Gradual: Psalm 143:9a, 10a; 18:48a, c Tract: Psalm 129:1–4 Jesus Is Our Redemption   In the temple Jesus said, “If anyone keeps my word, he will never see death” (John 8:51). For Jesus came to taste death for us—to drink the cup of suffering to the dregs in order that we might be released from its power. Clinging to His life-giving words, we are delivered from death's sting and its eternal judgment. Christ is our High Priest, who entered the Most Holy Place and with His own blood obtained everlasting redemption for His people (Heb. 9:11–15). He is the One who was before Abraham was, and yet is his descendant. He is the promised Son who carries the wood up the mountain for the sacrifice, who is bound and laid upon the altar of the cross. He is the ram who is offered in our place, who is willingly caught in the thicket of our sin, and who wears the crown of thorns upon His head (Gen. 22:1–14). Though Jesus is dishonored by the sons of the devil, He is vindicated by the Father through the cross. Lectionary summary © 2021 The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

During this talk, Peter reviews another way mindfulness practice supports Awakening, contemplating the Five Aggregates of Clinging, part of the Fourth Foundation of Mindfulness.  The Five Aggregates represent a conceptual structure that helps understanding of Anatta, the absence of an enduring, autonomous self.  Concrete, a crucial structural component in almost any building or road, is composed of cement, gravel, sand and water, which aggregate and solidify into a form–the human personality is also aggregated from file elements, and they can be investigated with sufficient training in mindfulness.  When we are mindful of these elements as aggregates, the ability to “deconstruct” the self is nurtured. Here are the notes prepared for this talk:  REVIEWING THE FIVE AGGREGATES OF CLINGING

What if the very thing that broke your heart… became the place where God revealed your calling? In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, Drs. Zach and Tim Clinton sit down with rising Christian music artist, Anne Wilson, to talk about faith, grief, identity, and purpose. Anne’s journey began in the midst of unimaginable loss. After the unexpected death of her brother in 2017, she found herself navigating deep sorrow, but also encountering God in a profound way. What started as a way to process her pain through worship became a calling that has now impacted millions around the world. From her breakout song My Jesus to her latest music and tours, Anne has continued to point people to hope in Christ, even in life’s darkest moments. In this conversation, Anne opens up about what it looked like to worship through grief, how her faith was tested and strengthened in the valley, and how she has stayed grounded in her identity despite rapid success and growing influence. We also dive into the challenges of comparison and identity in today’s culture, the importance of discerning God’s voice in the midst of opportunity, and what it means to be a light for Christ in both faith-based and secular spaces. Anne’s story is a powerful reminder that God often does His deepest work in our hardest seasons, and that He can turn our pain into purpose for His glory. If you’re walking through loss, wrestling with your identity, or wondering how God might use your story, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Stoppage Time Stunner NYCFC returned to action after the international break and dropped two points from a winning position at home. The second time they dropped points in as many games. Clinging onto a one goal lead late into second half stoppage time, tire legs and tired minds would fail the boys in blue as St Louis City would score the equalizer in the 96th minute. In this episode, Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. diBart talk about the good parts and the bad parts of the match. There is also audio from Pascal Jansen and NYCFC goal-scorer, Hannes Wolf.

If you're trying to step into something new while holding onto old patterns, this message is for you. Jesus taught in Matthew 9 that new wine requires new wineskins — because you cannot carry what God is doing next with the structures that supported yesterday. And many of us feel stretched not because God is absent, but because He is inviting us to release what was in order to receive what is. In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks why seasons of transition feel uncomfortable, why old systems eventually crack, and what it truly means to surrender familiar patterns so you can walk fully into God's purposes. If you're navigating: • A season of spiritual growth • Leadership in a shifting culture • Personal transition or life change • Faith when the old ways no longer work This biblical teaching will help you discern what God is doing — and give you the courage to let go of what cannot carry you forward. ✨ What you'll learn: • Why old structures cannot sustain a fresh move of God • The difference between chasing the “next” thing and discerning the “new” thing • How to build spiritual resilience in seasons of change • Why surrender is the key to stepping into the future God has prepared
