In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on secondary gains ... .those sneaky little perks your brain weirdly gets from staying stuck in the pain. Attention, avoidance, drama, validation... It's like emotional junk food, and unfortunately, your brain LOVES it.In this episode I walk you through:
The teachings of the Buddha tells us that dukkha, or suffering, comes from clinging; and that, in turn, if we abandon clinging, we'll know a true happiness in life. But what is clinging? As Peter Doobinin explains, if we come to understand what clinging is, then our ability to abandon it will be greatly enhanced. In this talk he discusses what clinging is, and how this understanding enables us to let go. The talk was given in March 2025.
On June 4th, 2019, country music singer Granger Smith was enjoying a final evening with his kids before heading to Nashville for the CMT Music Awards and his next tour. While helping his daughter London with her gymnastics, his youngest son fell into their pool. Granger did everything he could to get to him, but he was too late. River drowned, and Granger's world shattered. The days, weeks, and months that followed River's death sent Granger on a dark and painful journey. Every time he closed his eyes, he replayed the horrific event in his mind, and every time he opened his computer, he was bombarded by the critique and criticism of people who blamed him for the accident. Despite his best effort to get back on stage with a smile and song, it was all a façade. On the inside he was dying. Fortunately, that's not how his story ended. And now he is compelled to help people all around the world find strength, peace, and hope on the other side of tragedy. Tune in today to hear a heartfelt, tear-jerking, and vulnerable conversation as Granger reveals the messy path and process of mourning, yet also the ways in which God has met him in the midst of his mess time and time again.

What stands between you and fully following Jesus? In this profound exploration of Mark 10:23-31, we examine Jesus' challenging teachings about wealth and the kingdom of God, delivered just after his encounter with the rich young ruler.Jesus makes a startling statement that shocks his disciples: it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a wealthy person to enter God's kingdom. But this isn't a condemnation of wealth itself—rather, it's a piercing truth about how our attachments can become barriers between us and God. Whether it's money, possessions, relationships, or reputation, anything we cling to more tightly than Christ becomes our personal stumbling block.When the disciples ask "Who then can be saved?" Jesus offers the liberating truth at the heart of the gospel: "With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God." The message is clear—salvation comes not through our own efforts but through surrender to divine grace.As we witness Jesus courageously leading his amazed and fearful followers toward Jerusalem, knowing exactly what awaited him there, we're challenged to examine our own lives. What are we unwilling to surrender? What "camels" are we still trying to force through the needle's eye? Join us as we reason through this pivotal teaching and discover what true discipleship costs—and what it promises.Support the showThank you for listening!!

This week we honor Organ Donation Awareness month with music industry veteran Lisa Boullt. Lisa decided to start her own business helping artists and songwriters, and ended up working with legendary country artists. Through this process, Lisa reconnected with her sister Andrea's story, who had passed away in a car accident years earlier and was an organ donor. Lisa was touched by Andrea’s live-giving gift, and felt moved to write her sister’s story and educate people about the impact of organ donation. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from author and advocate Judy Henderson, who spent thirty-five years of her life in prison for a crime she didn’t commit. After growing up in a dysfunctional family, dealing with an abusive ex-husband, a stay in a psych ward, and facing a boyfriend who manipulated his crime to pin the blame on her, it seemed like Judy would never find her way out of darkness and despair. But she chose to believe that God would rescue her from the prison walls that surrounded her both physically and emotionally.

Apparently, Mary Magdalene breaks the rules about holding on too tightly to to the resurrected Jesus. It is a sweet rule to break.She is the first to see Jesus after His rising from the dead. She recognizes Him as He speaks her name. We'll all hear our name spoken by Jesus either in friendship or in judgment. My recommendation is to receive Him kindly as Lord and friend, so He can address you kindly on that day. Subscribe. Like. Share.https://youtu.be/EXJVrukH90o
You can have the right message, the right heart, and the right energy. But if your language triggers resistance instead of resonance, you'll stay overlooked and underpaid. You're done before you even start. In this solo episode, Jacqueline dives into the psychology of communication – the hidden power of language, what it really takes to become a paid, booked, and referable speaker, and why it's not about working harder or yelling louder.This isn't another episode on perfecting your keynote. It's about understanding how unconscious first decisions sabotage your momentum, confuse your audience, and quietly keep you stuck. You'll learn how to shift from surface-level speaking to magnetic, market-ready messaging that opens doors instead of closing them.Whether you're tweaking a title, stuck mid-pitch, or wondering why a wildly successful opt-in still brought in all the wrong people, this episode hands you the thinking tools to fix it for good.WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:Why mastering the deeper psychology of language should be your next move (01:15)Clinging to your original positioning could be killing your momentum (02:22)The paradox of consistency vs. growth, and the courage to evolve (04:28)A costly tagline mistake and the unconscious messages that may be hidden in your own speaker positioning (06:51)How the wrong unconscious first decision, even with the right offer, can quietly derail your sales (10:27)What it takes to pivot with purpose when the environment shifts and your audience pulls back (14:33)How aligning your message with your true audience matters more than blowing up your metrics (17:35)Iterating your message isn't selling out, it's a smart strategy (23:12)How unconscious language patterns in your speech, sales, or messaging could be silently repelling your ideal clients (25:56)This episode is your nudge to slow down and examine what's really going on beneath your words. Because sometimes, it's not the topic, the talk, or the timing. It's how you're unconsciously positioning yourself before anyone even says yes or no. Listen with an open mind. This could be the pivot you didn't know you needed.ResourcesOriginals by Adam GrantThink Again by Adam GrantThe Paid Speaker AcceleratorThe Speak More Collective If you are on a mission to amplify your message to make a more meaningful impact, and you'd love to join a vibrant community of people all harnessing the power of speaking we'd love you to join us in our private Facebook group.

You're killing the f*cking game but you're afraid to go
Is the source of yearning for connection on a human level the same as longing for God on a spiritual level? The urge for connection is pre-thought, pre-psychological. It begins at birth when we first experience separateness. Practice is about patterning the nervous system to let go. When we can sit in the center of the storm of our feelings, we can be with suffering and with "what is" in a way that does not seek fulfillment. To come to acceptance doesn't always happen gracefully. To go fully into yearning—a process that happens over and over—leads to shattering, which is a doorway to reassembling without the same identification. We may yearn for love and project that we'll be satisfied on a human level and find that we long for love on a much deeper level. Acceptance of every part of us, and of the masculine and feminine, brings us to the next level. Suffering doesn't end when we accept suffering, but something shifts. Longing and suffering co-exist. It feels different when we are able to ride the waves of heartbreak. The ability to hold personal and universal suffering is needed in the world. Hate is projection of suffering onto others; realizing this helps us to be compassionate. Clinging is part of life and never disappears, but our work with it can be incorporated into practice. We need a strong matrix to hold longing. In each incarnation we may have one destiny to fulfill, which involves use of the body. We don't read a book to experience the wine; we empty our cup and drink the wine. Longing is satisfied in the longing itself. Letting go of expectations opens us to a commitment to love. We can work with desire and identity, letting go again and again. To honor longing is not a casual choice.

The U.S. is at a crossroads, and the battle is heating up. As China's growing influence threatens national security, from cyberattacks to infiltrating critical infrastructure, the question remains: Why are some still clinging to China's economic grip? Trump's tariffs, while controversial, are a last-ditch effort to reshore American manufacturing and combat the looming debt death cycle that could bankrupt the nation. But with political opponents, both Democrat and Republican, working to undermine his efforts, what's the real plan to save America's economy? From the collapse of 90,000 factories to the debt crisis, the stakes couldn't be higher. It's time for bold solutions before it's too late.
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.

"It's not your fault if you are unhappy. You have been told three lies: You're not good enough; You need to achieve fame, wealth, and power; You need to do it all on your own."These are the words of Stephanie Harrison - author, past Director of Learning at Thrive Global, and expert in the science of happiness.In her new book: New Happy: Getting Happiness Right in a World That's Got it Wrong She calls these three lies that emerged in her research,The Old Happy. Old Happy is a definition of happiness, that our society has bought into.Yet Stephanie argues it's making so many of us miserable.Rather than continue to follow this narrative,Clinging to the hope that it will make us happy someday,Stephanie invites us to consider an alternative path that she uncovered through her research into what makes us happy.It's a path that researchers, theologians, contemplative traditions, and philosophers have all pointed to .A path leading to a more enduring, sustainable form of happiness. The first step on that path is toDiscover who you really are.The second step?Use it to help other people.Today we'll take a deep dive into these two invitations, what Stephanie calls "The New Happy."In the first half this conversation Stephanie and I will unpack not only how we might approach answering the question:Who are we really? But we'll also look at how we might embrace the answers - Integrating all aspects of who we are (our whole self) as we cultivate a healthy sense of self worth in the process.In the second half we'll look at:How we can approach our work from a place of greater authenticity and love - Including the art of aligning our unique strengths, gifts, and what we care about most, with the ways in which we serve.Stephanie offers a beautiful reminder That when we come home to who we truly areAnd then use our unique gifts to serveAn entirely different experience of life opens up. And we just might find the happiness we've been looking for all along. For more on Stephanie, her book, podcast, and other resources please visit thenewhappy.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

Shawna used her best parenting techniques, but her son had dug in his heals and would not budge. He was clinging to what felt safe. God invites us to let go of what we cling to and cling to Him instead. Perry shares, “I’m realizing at this place in my journey that I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to prove to God that I love him. But I’m realizing that it’s not so much about how much I love him but it’s about how much he loves me!” Shawna shares that she can muster up the will power & discipline herself into certain behaviors but if she has a bad day she’s likely to go back to what she did before. But when it comes to her and our finances, we can change our behaviors in spending (behavior modification). But what needs to change at a heart level that would impact our giving decisions moving forward? Rob West, president of Kingdom Advisors and Host of Faith & Finance Live on 89.3 Moody Radio takes on that question. When Jesus was riding in to Jerusalem the people were celebrating what they thought He would do for them. They wanted a warrior King. Jesus came instead as the Prince of Peace. His plans were greater than their expectations. When God doesn’t meet our expectations, maybe He’s up to something better. Perry shares, “Jesus leads me to use the gifts and talents he’s given me to make a difference in my world. But sometimes I wonder, ‘Is any of it making a difference??’ “ Maybe you feel like this?Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wgnbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I'm so excited about the On Victory's Wings series by Jennifer Mistmorgan. We had a blast chatting and you won't want to miss out on the a mini brainstorming session we had. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. World War II had no end of amazing stories of heroism--in battle and on the home front. Sometimes it's a noble heart doing what might have been done at any time and in any situation but is made even more impressive by the difficult circumstances. This series touches them all and more. I think the These Long Shadows may be my favorite, but... I have to read them all to be sure! These Long Shadows by Jennifer Mistmorgan How do they rebuild a marriage that wasn't real in the first place? If you love epic wartime romance with a dash of intrigue, you'll love this second-chance, marriage-of-convenience love story. London, 1945: Two years ago, Jonty Ables married Katie Baines to save her and her unborn baby from shame. But now the war is all but over, the baby is gone and they must work out where their shaky marriage fits into lives irrevocably changed by war. Clinging to the memory of a time before all happiness evaporated, Katie works hard during the day as a seamstress. At night she comes home to a tiny terrace on a bomb-scarred street, crammed with her extended family and their problems. Years of estrangement sit between her and her recently demobilised husband. She's not even sure she loves him. So why is she so crushed that he calls out another woman's name in his sleep? Jonty is determined to honor the vows he made no matter how many ghosts plague him. But with such separate lives, his wife is more of a stranger than ever. When Katie's friend goes missing, Jonty seizes the opportunity to help her find him just so they have reason to talk. But the war casts long shadows over their efforts, and fighting for their future might just be the hardest battle of them all. Book 3 of the On Victory's Wings series, These Long Shadows, is easily read as a standalone novel. Learn more about Jennifer on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

In the days that we're living in now, Jesus said that there would be difficult days and terrible circumstances that we must go through as believers in Him. Fear, anxiety, anger, they're going to try and rise and fill your mind and heart. But as Pastor Ricky teaches today, God uses these hard times for a good purpose. God will use you as a witness, to share His goodness as you trust Him in difficulties. In all things, let the opposition turn into opportunities for the gospel witness. Let your faith and relationship to Christ shine through so the world can know Him.
Pleading with God through desperate prayers and waiting for Him to answer can create havoc in your spiritual journey unless you arm yourself with God's truth. Amber Robinson, from our community group in West Cobb, Georgia, shares her journey of waiting patiently for her marriage partner, then subsequently struggling with infertility and waiting to get pregnant, and then painstakingly waiting to deliver her baby. This is a story that will leave you on the edge of your seat as you hear the Lord reveal His truths to Amber and encourage each of us to know He is always good, always sovereign, and always with us. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: - If you give the enemy a seat at your table, his lies will begin to seem like truth. - God wants you to pray boldly and pray continually. - If you never had moments where you had to trust God, you would never know He is trustworthy.

The things that have been going on in our world in recent years are definitely troubling - wars, death, division, sickness, and poverty amongst many other evil things. It can seem like God has lost control and we're all doomed. But as Pastor Ricky teaches us today, Jesus said that these things would happen as His return draws nearer in order to prepare believers so that we wouldn't fear. We're in what He calls the “last days”. It's important in these turbulent last days to hold on tight to Him and confidently believe that God is still in control.

Imagine struggling with intrusive thoughts that feel unbearable, unshakable, and all-consuming. You try to fight them, suppress them, or rationalize them away, only to find that they persist, growing stronger with every attempt to resist. But what if the key to managing OCD wasn't in pushing these thoughts away, but rather in changing your relationship with them? In this thought-provoking episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova, LMFT, welcomes Naomi Matlow, a writer, educator, and OCD advocate, to explore how Buddhist psychology offers a fresh perspective on OCD management. Naomi, the author of A Thought is Just a Thought: A Buddhist Guide to OCD, shares how ancient Buddhist teachings on mindfulness, suffering, and attachment can help individuals with OCD develop a new understanding of intrusive thoughts. Together, Kristina and Naomi dive deep into the nature of suffering, the role of acceptance, and practical techniques for navigating intrusive thoughts without letting them define you. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to integrate mindfulness-based approaches into their OCD recovery journey. In This Episode [00:00:00] Introduction to the episode [00:01:04] Naomi's background and inspiration for writing her book [00:02:33] Understanding OCD through a Buddhist lens [00:04:03] How thoughts are like sensory perceptions [00:05:41] The Western tendency to over-identify with thoughts [00:07:12] The challenge of accepting intrusive thoughts [00:09:56] Clinging, aversion, and the roots of suffering in OCD [00:11:20] The Four Noble Truths and how they relate to OCD [00:13:20] The role of desire and resistance in maintaining suffering [00:16:29] Practical steps to cultivate acceptance and detachment [00:18:35] Shifting focus from thoughts to sensory experiences [00:20:45] Meditation techniques for intrusive thoughts [00:22:14] How to connect with Naomi [00:22:54] Closing remarks Notable Quotes [00:13:00] "An OCD thought is a thought you are not willing to have." – Naomi Matlow [00:07:12] "We tend to put so much weight on the content of our thoughts, but thoughts are just another form of perception—like smelling something bad in the fridge. They don't define who we are." – Naomi Matlow [00:11:20] "Clinging to positive experiences or pushing away negative ones only deepens suffering. Acceptance isn't about approval—it's about allowing reality to be what it is." – Naomi Matlow [00:25:00] "The body is always in the present moment, but the mind is often stuck in the past or worried about the future. That's why grounding in the senses can be so powerful." – Naomi Matlow Our Guest Naomi Matlow is a writer, educator, and OCD advocate based in Southern California. In 2024, she published her creative thesis from Lesley University's Mindfulness Studies Master's program, which evolved into A Thought is Just a Thought: A Buddhist Guide to OCD. Naomi's work integrates Buddhist philosophy, mindfulness, and evidence-based OCD treatment approaches to help individuals develop a healthier relationship with their thoughts.

Rigid leadership is failing us—especially now. On this episode of Leadership NOW, Dan Pontefract speaks with bestselling author and leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry about his latest book, "Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence." Eikenberry argues persuasively that leaders trapped in habitual thinking or overly reliant on personality labels miss opportunities to adapt effectively in today's complex world. He introduces the concept of “flexors”—leadership decisions that require intentional flexibility rather than automatic, comfort-driven reactions. In this lively conversation, Eikenberry outlines why flexibility is no longer optional, explains the practical skills and habits leaders must adopt, and offers clear advice to move beyond rigidity into intentional, adaptive leadership.

Text: Genesis 3:7-24 The Destructive Outcome of Sin (Gen. 3:7-13) When we choose to sin, we experience guilt and shame. When we choose to sin, we hide from the consequences. When we choose to sin, we blame others. Gospel implication: Christ died in our place and took our punishment. The Devastating Curse of Sin (Gen. 3:14-19) God pronounces a curse on the snake and the ground because of sin. God pronounces ongoing consequences of sin in child-bearing, relationships, and work. Gospel Implication: God promised that a Redeemer would come to crush our enemy and conquer sin. The Divine Judgment For Sin (Gen. 3:20-24) Clinging to the hope of God's promise, Adam gives his wife the name Eve (“life-giver”). God clothed Adam and Eve in garments of skin to cover their nakedness. God drove out Adam and Eve from the Garden, signifying the breach of fellowship that had taken place. Gospel Implication: In Christ we are given new life, eternally forgiven, clothed in His righteousness, and welcomed into His kingdom.

Beloved,We live in both our energy world and our physical world. For example, right off the bat, we use the internet right after waking up, not even noticing it's like joining a shared mind that's now a normal in our daily live.In exploring our inner thoughts and outer space, humanities next big steps as we study consciousness - is how powerful each person's mind really is- and how it effects the “all across time and space.” We all experience this.It's a universal human phenomenon that has effected cultures through all of time.Going deeper into the “why” comes from over 20 years of serving clients, as I witness a stone castle around the heart chakra as the basis of all transformation to break open to allow the light in - with self compassion. Our analytical MIND and world's hierarchy make love "scarce." Many times, depending on our programming, genuine love without an agenda registers in our system as boring, weak, deceiving, soft or even be seen as threatening.At the root, it's because it doesn't match the pictures in our mind because our nervous system's set up for “love” to feel like fight or flight and protect.Genuine love can (and often) is actually present already all around us. But we have yet to recognize it because we don't even have a reference point for what that is. Nor do we trust it fully. Our system reads it as “too good to be true” or in some cases we overlook it completelyBut what if you could learn to let go?What if you could quiet the mental chatter and find a sense of inner peace?Understanding the Mind and the subconscious blueprint is critical.Think of your mind as a still lake.It's a vast field of energy, always present, but often disturbed by the waves of our thoughts and emotions.When we cling to these thoughts, we create ripples and turbulence, preventing us from seeing the clear, calm water beneath.The key is to understand that the mind itself is not the problem.It's a powerful tool, capable of great creativity and insight.The issue arises when we become identified with our thoughts, believing them to be our true selves.The Trap of Clinging and grasping will make or break our growth.We create suffering by resisting reality.We resist the things we don't like, cling to the things we do, and worry about things that might happen.This resistance is what fuels our anxiety and keeps us trapped in a cycle of negativity.The Path to Freedom truly is Acceptance.The answer always lies in acceptance.Accepting reality, even the parts we don't like, is crucial.It doesn't mean we condone everything, but it means we stop fighting against it.When we accept things as they are, we open ourselves to a greater sense of peace and clarity.We hold onto the things that bother us the most so we don't forget them.And guess what?They keep bothering us.That's really smart, isn't it?We build a picture album of everything that freaked us out.How do we get rid of worry?Not by controlling the world, but by learning to honor, respect, and accept reality.The problem isn't that it happened; it's that we couldn't handle it happening.If we could handle it, we wouldn't store it."I saw a snake.Thank you, snake.You didn't bite me.I learned something."We become a knower of snakes.We have a choice: make our lives about avoiding snakes, or learn to handle them.Spiritual evolution is the ability to handle reality.Stop resisting.Resistance is what locks the scars, the patterns, in place.Acceptance is the opposite of resistance.Relax, accept, honor, respect, appreciate.Open.Let it go through.You still have to deal with things, but you'll be clearer, less reactive.You'll have more time and energy if you're not busy complaining and resisting.The mind is a great gift.It built rocket ships, flew to the moon.But it wasn't meant to fix the mess you made inside of it.The answer is to stop misusing your mind.Don't store things.Let them pass through.Memory is a natural function; these scars are not.They're suppressed, resisted experiences.Start small.The weather.You can't control it, so accept it."If it rains, we'll do this; if not, we'll do that."Fun is fun.Stop defining success and failure by whether things match what you want.Life is life.Handling Reality with Grace is the goal.Think of it like this: you can't control the weather, but you can control how you react to it.If it rains, you can choose to stay inside and enjoy a good book, or you can put on your raincoat and go for a walk.The same applies to all aspects of life.We can't control everything that happens to us, but we can control our reactions.By choosing acceptance and resilience, we can navigate life's challenges with grace and ease.Here are the Key Takeaways:You are not your mind: Your mind is a tool, not your identity.Clinging creates suffering: Resisting reality only intensifies our problems.Acceptance is key: Accepting things as they are brings peace and clarity.You have the power to choose: You can choose to react to life with grace and resilience.Thank you for joining me on this journey of self-discovery.Remember, the power to create a more peaceful and fulfilling life lies within - you.If this resonates with you, I invite you to explore further.Book a session for a holographic reading.

On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Carol Swain shares that she came to Christ in her late forties as a university professor. Clinging to Jeremiah 1:5 which says, "Before I formed you in your mother's womb, I knew you," her new-found faith put her at odds with the liberal faculty and students. The author of Abduction: How Liberalism Steals Our Children's Hearts And Minds, Dr. Swain sounds an Amber Alert for the souls of America's youth.
