Send us your feedback — we're listeningPsalm 3:5 (NIV) — Close Your Eyes Tonight Knowing God Is Watching Over You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Today's Nations: Zimbabwe • Botswana • Russia • Rwanda • Bahrain • Italy Theme: Rest • Security • Peace The day has come to its gentle close. The conversations are quieter now, the work has been left behind and the night is beginning to settle around us. Even so, our minds can still be busy, revisiting today's moments or looking ahead to tomorrow. Before you close your eyes tonight, let's spend these few moments together, placing ourselves into the faithful care of the God who never stops watching over His children. Scripture (NIV) “I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.” — Psalm 3:5 Heavenly Father, thank You for carrying us through this day and for remaining faithful in every moment, whether we noticed Your hand or not. Tonight we place into Your care every unfinished task, every quiet concern and every hope we have for tomorrow. Let Your peace settle gently over our hearts, our homes and those we love. Grant us restful sleep, renew our strength through the night and help us to wake with thankful hearts, confident that the same faithful God who watched over us today will welcome us into a new morning. Fear will not win, because the Lord lovingly sustains those who place their lives into His hands. May the Lord watch over you tonight, fill your home with His peace and grant you deep, refreshing rest until the morning light. Que el Señor vele por ti durante toda la noche, llene tu hogar de Su paz y te conceda un descanso profundo bajo Su fiel cuidado. Que o Senhor cuide de você durante toda esta noite, renove as suas forças enquanto descansa e desperte o seu coração com nova esperança. Nawa'y bantayan ka ng Panginoon buong gabi, punuin ang iyong tahanan ng Kanyang kapayapaan at bigyan ka ng mahimbing na pahinga hanggang sa pagsikat ng araw.

I share why nobody cares about your excuses, why your need of things is killing you, and how to recalibrate your perspective. I also discuss why time is your asset in your 20s, and why the 99% that achieves are willing to sacrifice and think in 50 year terms, not 50 day terms.You'll learn about:• Why Excuses Don't Matter• Your Need of Things• How to Recalibrate Your Perspective

Come along as I take you on a journey through Ireland. But there's no passport required for this trip because in this special BONUS episode, we're going there with our ears. Instead of sharing photos, I'm sharing "audio pictures"—the recordings I make to capture the moments around me. As someone who is blind, these little audio snapshots help me revisit memories without being able to see them, and today, you'll get to experience them with me. From the lively streets of Dublin and Belfast to the breathtaking Giant's Causeway and places connected with C.S. Lewis and the world of Narnia, you'll hear the sounds, conversations, and little moments that invite us to delight in the beauty of God's creation. So settle in, listen closely, and let your imagination carry you to Ireland—one audio picture at a time.

Hi, Sleepy.Tonight we begin in the benigning, which is not a word, but it might be a place. A small Swedish-English place where I stand with my pockets full of half-working words, wondering if I have enough of them to carry us through the night.From there we somehow move toward a forest, an axe, my dad, and that old strange fear that maybe there is something wrong with me in a way no one has noticed yet. But before that gets too serious, there is also a terrible podcast called Grunts from the Gym, some thoughts about heavy-breathing strangers, and me sneaking into a Pilates class, standing in the back, trying to love myself even though I'm not very good at it.This is an episode about doing things badly. About going to classes just to be close to your teenager. About watching your parents' world become smaller and fearing that your own might one day do the same. And then, near the end, it becomes just you and me, Sleepy. Awake while everyone else is busy building strange dream-treehouses with their ex-bosses.A small room in the middle of the night. You're allowed to be human here. You're allowed to fall asleep.Sleep Tight!More about Henrik, click here: https://linktr.ee/HenrikstahlCause of summer leave, this episode is a rerun from one of the older favourite episodes. Brand new episode coming next week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Seeing color instead of darkness when you close your eyes is one of the clearest third eye awakening symptoms, and if you've ever wondered what it means to see color when your eyes are closed, this episode is your answer. It's not your imagination. It's not random. It's something in you that's been waking up for a long time.Somewhere along the way, you learned to override it. You felt the flicker, the color, the pressure between your eyebrows, and you called it nothing. You waited for proof instead of trusting the knowing. That's not because the gland went quiet on its own; it's because everything around you, the stress, the screens, the noise, taught you to talk yourself out of it before you even finished noticing.Episode Takeaways:Recognize color, light, and shapes behind your eyelids as your pineal gland waking up, not your imaginationTrust the feeling before you have the facts instead of waiting for proofNotice the pressure or tingling between your eyebrows as a signal, not a distractionUnderstand why fluoride, screens, and chronic stress calcify the gland that ancient civilizations built entire symbols aroundThe version of you who trusts that flicker of color instead of explaining it away moves differently. She doesn't wait for the proof anymore. She feels it first and lets that be enough. That's the woman on the other side of this, the one who stops living from the neck up and starts trusting what her whole body already knows.Take the third eye activation audio class inside Manifesting Miracles Academy and Community.

Drivey note: this week's episode has been untouched by the loving hands of producer Jordan Mallory. John is much worse at Jordan's job than Jordan is, so please forgive this week for any audio issues or snafus.This week, John bravely asks the question "what if we gave just a few minutes to acknowledge the straights" to Merritt and Niki on this, the first day of Pride (at least when we recorded it).

A journey through the deeper side of soulful house, where timeless voices, uplifting melodies, and warm grooves come together under one roof. This selection brings together some of the finest names in the genre, from the unmistakable soul of Black Coffee, Miguel Migs, Mousse T., DJ Spen, Sean McCabe, Brian Tappert, Cafe 432, The Shapeshifters, and Sam Ruffillo, alongside legendary vocalists including Evelyn “Champagne” King, Kim English, Monique Bingham, Angela Johnson, Terry Dexter, and Rona Ray. Expect moments of pure musical sunshine as classics are reimagined, dancefloor anthems are given new life, and soulful vocals float effortlessly across deep, uplifting rhythms. From the emotional pull of “Open My Heart” and “Love Come Down” to the uplifting energy of “Supernatural,” “Close Your Eyes,” and “Solid Ground,” every record has been chosen to create a feeling rather than simply fill a dancefloor. Threaded throughout the mix are a collection of original productions from The Funk Assassin — “Blue Moon Beach,” “Blue Moonlit River,” “Blue Moonlight In My Soul,” “Balearic Blue Moon,” and the closing track “Carry You Home.” These original pieces serve as the heart of the journey, inspired by sunset coastlines, moonlit reflections, Balearic escapism, and the soulful house records that have shaped dancefloors for decades. This is music for open-air terraces, late-night conversations, sunrise moments, and anyone who still believes house music should move both your feet and your soul. TRACK LIST: 1.

On episode one hundred and sixty nine of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim kick it "old-school" after three consecutive guest episodes. Tim shares an excerpt from Atomic Habits by James Clear to tee up their drum topic about how identifying factors that you claim in your life can make or break your ability to improve in certain areas of drumming. Matt argues an alternative, parallel approach that has been working for him. Finally, in attempt to avoid being too controversial, Tim struggles through the discomfort of touching on political subjects to illustrate a concern around the weaponized usage of vague scripture in this day in age. Matt disagrees slightly, but shares a strong point of view.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, and honestly it's a little frightening, but somehow John, merritt and Niki spent an entire episode discussing a single topic.
