Message preached at Grace Family Church, Caymanas Estate, Jamaica, by Sheldon Campbell on May 3, 2026.
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?

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.

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.

Ajahn Dhammasiha explains suitable meditation objects for investigation (vipassana/insight/wisdom) that we can direct our attention to, after the mind emerges from Samatha/Samādhi meditation. Samādhi/Concentration imbues the mind with calm, tranquillity, hightened mindfulness, brightness and radiant awareness, as well as wholesome joy, rapture and bliss. At the same time, the five hindrances of sensual desire, aversion, laziness, restlessness and doubt are suppressed (or at least reduced). Of course, all these things are desirable and very pleasant to experience in and by themselves. However, even more important is that they provide the conditions for profound insight to arise. Whenever our mind has developed a certain level of calm/samatha, we should these mental qualities to develop insight/vispassana. We're not merely enjoying the bright and blissful qualities of samādhi, we're using them to do the work of developing wisdom, to see things as they really are (yathā-bhūta-ñāṇadassana), to investigate and analyse. So what are the areas of investigation the Buddha recommended for that purpose? And how are we to investigate them, in which way should we contemplate them? In this reflection, Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about the 5 groups of clinging (pañcupādānakkhandhā) as suitable objects for profound insight contemplation: Rūpa = Form Vedanā = Feeling (pleasant of unpleasant of neutral) Saññā = Perception (Recognizing, labelling) Sankhārā = Mental formations, in particular intention (cetana) & thinking (vitakka)Viññāṇa = ConsciousnessAjahn also mentions the four foundations of mindfulness, which are highly suitable meditation objects for developing insight as well, and which tend to be easier to contemplate than the 5 groups of clinging.

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

Research presented by Dave Sobel and Anurag Agarwal highlights a steep decline in profitability for core MSP services, driven by heightened commoditization and vendor-led automation of basic offerings such as endpoint management and help desk operations. According to Techaisle's 2026 data, the traditional labor-plus-license model is no longer sustainable, as shrinking margins force service providers to reconsider foundational strategies. The central message underscores an urgent need for MSPs to prioritize proprietary intellectual property (IP) and vertical-specific solutions—not for incremental growth, but as a matter of operational survival. Supporting this assessment, the discussion details how market demand has shifted: MSPs can no longer depend on generic solutions but must differentiate with specialized, repeatable offerings that address the financial optimization and liability concerns of business clients. The data indicates that SMBs are increasingly unwilling to invest in pilots or “all-you-can-eat” AI models without visible ROI and demand concrete solutions linked to business outcomes. Vendors and MSPs alike are being tasked with providing smaller, outcome-focused wins and developing skillsets in agentic orchestration, where AI-enabled digital agents and human technicians operate as co-equal components of the workforce. A related trend explored is the shift toward agentic AI and “zero-touch” MSP models, featuring automation of routine IT tasks and focus on workflow engineering rather than manual services. However, the episode notes that most providers are unprepared for the new set of risks and governance liabilities: as clients increasingly utilize AI agents, accountability for errors and regulatory compliance will rest heavily with MSPs, especially in sensitive geographies such as Europe where contractual governance is becoming standard. Conversations on whether to “build or buy” new capabilities reflect a split market, with only the top tier capable of meaningful in-house development, and the majority relying on third-party platforms with limited differentiation. For MSPs, IT service firms, and decision-makers, the core implication is the need to rapidly develop operational and governance maturity around automation, AI orchestration, and packaged offerings. Clinging to traditional models or treating AI as a mere add-on introduces significant risk, including shrinking margins, increased liability, and potential obsolescence. Providers are advised to narrow focus, specialize in vertical solutions, invest in internal competency with AI-enabled platforms, and shift toward packaged IP to avoid falling behind as both client expectations and regulatory requirements escalate.
From Trauma to Triumph: The Three Ingredients for Post-Traumatic GrowthGuest: David Dachinger, Retired Fire Lieutenant, EMT, Peer Coach and Grammy-Nominated Producer Host: Julie RigaWhat if your greatest trauma became your most powerful mission? In this transformational episode, Julie Riga sits down with David Dachinger, a stage four cancer survivor, retired fire lieutenant, Grammy-nominated producer, and resilience advocate, to unpack the three essential ingredients for post-traumatic growth: identity release, meaning making, and mission activation. This is a conversation about courage, clarity, and the power of choosing life.From Trauma to Triumph: The Three Ingredients for Post-Traumatic GrowthAbout This EpisodeIn this deeply moving episode, Julie Riga welcomes David Dachinger, a clear testament to transformation, resilience, and purpose-driven leadership. Together they explore what it means to evolve through adversity and how every leader and entrepreneur can activate their own post-traumatic growth journey. David shares how a stage four cancer diagnosis became the catalyst for a legacy of healing, purpose, and mission activation.Guest BackgroundDavid Dachinger is a retired fire lieutenant and EMT who hosts Responder's Resilience: Igniting the Shift Within, engaging experts on first responder mental health. He serves as a peer coach for 22ZERO, supporting first responders and veterans. A two-time Grammy Award nominee, his life changed in 2014 with a stage four cancer diagnosis that became the foundation of his advocacy for purposeful living and wellness.Fun Fact: David's favorite food is the Holy Shiitake pizza from Mellow Mushroom.The Three Ingredients for Post-Traumatic Growth1. Identity Release A stage four diagnosis instantly shifted David from caregiver to patient. Clinging to a victim identity blocks transformation. Through intentional word choice and daily gratitude, he released the old self and stepped into a healed identity. Like the lobster, we must shed the old shell to grow a stronger one.2. Meaning Making The same event affects people differently because it is the meaning we assign that determines our outcome. David reframed adversity by asking, "What is the gift in this?" Gratitude practice, present-moment awareness, and a shift in self-talk became his most powerful tools. Words, he discovered, are medicine.3. Mission Activation David and his wife created Live Calm with Cancer, a book, app, and calming TV experience for patients. He then joined 22ZERO to help first responders, veterans, and cancer patients heal trauma. His full-circle return to cancer advocacy, equipped with lived experience and proven tools, is a masterclass in turning pain into purpose.Key Quotes"Suffering is optional. We have a choice in every situation.""How do I turn these adversities into my superpower?""We are powerful creators. Positive self-talk is the core of all of it."Key Takeaways for LeadersRelease the old identity. Growth begins when you stop defining yourself by trauma or circumstance.Make meaning intentionally. The meaning you assign to adversity determines whether it becomes a wound or a wisdom.Activate your mission. Pain with purpose becomes power. Your story is meant to serve someone else's transformation.Words are medicine. Language shapes belief, belief shapes biology, and biology shapes your life.Suffering is optional. You always have a choice, and that choice is the foundation of fulfillment and legacy.ConnectDavid Dachinger: www.respondertv.com | 22ZERO: www.22zero.org | LinkedIn, Instagram, FacebookJulie Riga: www.julieriga.com/lead | LinkedIn, Instagram, FacebookSubscribe to Stay On Course wherever you listen to podcasts.#StayOnCourse #PostTraumaticGrowth #Leadership #Transformation #PurposeDriven

If your life feels uncomfortable, uncertain, or like you don't even recognize yourself right now, you are not alone. In this episode, we are diving deep into eclipse season, current planetary transitions, and the powerful identity shifts happening beneath the surface. So many women are being told to “manifest” during these cosmic seasons, but the truth is that eclipses are not about forcing outcomes. They are about realignment. They reveal what is no longer sustainable and invite you into a new version of yourself. And that process can feel confusing, emotional, and even destabilizing. In this conversation, we explore why you may feel stuck even though you know you've outgrown your old life, business, or identity. We talk about the subconscious patterns that keep you clinging to familiar timelines, the nervous system responses behind control and overworking, and why high-achieving women often struggle to let go of the very strategies that once made them successful. You'll learn how trauma responses like hyper-independence, perfectionism, and constant productivity can block alignment, and why these patterns tend to surface during major astrology transits. This episode also unpacks the grief that comes with transformation, the emotional process of releasing old identities, and the uncomfortable “in-between” phase where you no longer fit your past but your future hasn't fully formed yet. We also discuss practical tools to help you regulate your nervous system during periods of change, trust your intuition, and move through uncertainty without burning out. This is not about bypassing your emotions or rushing clarity. It's about learning to build internal safety so you can expand into the life and leadership you are truly meant for. Whether you are navigating a career pivot, relationship shift, spiritual awakening, or business evolution, this episode will help you understand what is happening on a deeper level. You'll walk away with insight, validation, and grounded guidance to support your next season of growth. If you've been feeling restless, disconnected, or called toward something new but don't know what that looks like yet, this conversation will remind you that you are not broken. You are evolving. Topics covered include: Eclipse season and identity transformation Astrology and subconscious reprogramming Nervous system regulation during change Trauma patterns and hyper-independence Spiritual growth and emotional healing How to let go of old versions of yourself Intuition, alignment, and feminine leadership Navigating uncertainty in life and business If this episode resonates, share it with a friend who is also in a season of change and growth.

What does it look like to cling to God after the death of a child, when the pain feels suffocating, forgiveness feels impossible, and trust feels fragile? In this powerful continuation of Laura's conversation with Linda Dillow, they explore the remaining heart skills that help grieving parents hold on to God and not give up. They talk honestly about lament as worship in a minor key, choosing trust over fear, the ongoing act of forgiveness (even when it must be repeated again and again), finding encouragement in God's presence, and allowing praise to slowly become the language of a surrendered heart. If you are walking through child loss and wondering how to keep going, this episode will gently remind you that you are not expected to “get over” your grief. This is a journey taken one step, one breath at a time. God meets you in the mess, in the anger, in the questions, and invites you to experience His love in a deeper way than head knowledge alone. You may not know what tomorrow holds. But you can learn, even in grief, to trust the One who holds tomorrow. Linda's new book is Hope for my Hurting Heart. She is also the author of several bestselling books, including Calm My Anxious Heart, Satisfy My Thirsty Soul and Intimate Issues. Linda and her husband, Jody, ministered in the former East European Communist countries and in Asia for eighteen years, training the leadership of the church. They have four grown children (one in heaven) and ten amazing grandchildren. Linda loves to encourage women to hope in God and trust in His faithfulness!
