Breakthrough feels powerful, but what if it becomes a weekly loop that never turns into lasting change? We sit down with Prophet Bobby Wade for a prophetic, faith-filled word that challenges the church to stop living from the floor of yesterday's trauma and start living from the base of victory. He unpacks why God can meet you in brokenness without ever intending you to stay broken, and why repeated “altar moments” must produce real advancement in your mind, your habits, and your spiritual authority.We talk honestly about trauma, disappointment, and the way wounds can become enthroned until they shape identity, confession, and expectation. Bobby lays out a clear path forward through what he calls word replacement therapy: replacing the script of fear, anxiety, and defeat with the Word of God spoken daily. Along the way we pull lessons from Luke 13 and Psalm 77, showing how infirmity can bend posture, perception, and hope until a person can only look down, and how God recalibrates a forward-facing gift so you can see ahead again.The conversation also calls for a deeper level of deliverance ministry in our churches. Comfort cannot be the goal when people are living in functional bondage, because function is not freedom. We close with practical declarations you can start using today, plus a preview of Bobby's upcoming book, Why Breakthrough Is Not Enough, which we believe will reshape how many people think about healing, faith, and spiritual growth.

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn: Finding God's Comfort on Father's DayOn Father's Day, Jeremy honors dads, grandfathers, mentors, coaches, and teachers who show up, while acknowledging the day can be painful for those grieving absent, distant, or deceased fathers. Teaching from Matthew 5:4 (“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted”), he contrasts a culture of distraction with Jesus' invitation to face pain honestly, noting that unprocessed grief resurfaces in anger, bitterness, isolation, and strained relationships. He explains the Greek word “pentheo” as deep lament over loss and the world's brokenness, and points to Jesus weeping at Lazarus' tomb as proof faith and tears coexist. Using Ecclesiastes 3 and Nehemiah's tears before rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, he urges lament, especially among men, as courageous honesty that leads to healing, comfort, and purposeful leadership, ending with Psalm 34:18 and a prayer for comfort and restoration.00:00 Fathers Day Welcome00:55 When Celebration Hurts02:08 Blessed Are Those Who Mourn05:19 What Mourning Really Means08:28 Jesus Wept With Us14:10 Redefining Strength For Men17:54 Seasons Of Grief19:31 Nehemiah Tears To Purpose23:07 Lament Over Distraction27:22 Comfort And A Way Forward30:36 Prayer And Closing

Chantelle Little followed her dream at age 19 in founding a thriving agency, Tiller Digital, that is built to last. Embracing the unknown was the difference. "Comfort kills more dreams than failure ever will." Hear how the healthy culture she has developed is a living operating system of values, standards, rituals and people who breathe it into existence every day. For her, exceptional leadership is about not just knowing what you need to do, it's actually doing it. "...go beyond intent into action."

What does it really cost to follow Jesus?In the final installment of our four-part series examining distraction, exhaustion, comfort, and spiritual depth, we tackle one of the most challenging questions modern Christians face: Have we become too comfortable to fully embrace biblical discipleship? In a culture built around convenience, self-preservation, and instant gratification, the call of Jesus often sounds radically different. Following Christ involves sacrifice, surrender, obedience, and a willingness to trust God even when the path is difficult.Throughout this conversation, we explore the relationship between suffering and spiritual growth, the reality of persecution around the world, the dangers of burnout and busyness, and the importance of Christian community. We discuss how comfort, control, and self-focus can quietly become idols that pull us away from God's purposes and why genuine discipleship requires dying to self and living for Christ.Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world. Join us as we conclude this series with a powerful challenge to examine whether we're pursuing comfort—or faithfully following Jesus wherever He leads.patreon.com/TheTruthResponsehttps://linktr.ee/thetruthresponsehttps://www.instagram.com/thetruthresponse/https://www.facebook.com/thetruthresponsehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-response/id1504362531https://open.spotify.com/show/6Kpkgsy7I7zVuv5UyiRACu?si=BqwQH988RW2DpLbYg5BnSA

Comfort can feel safe. But it can also become the ceiling that keeps you stuck. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down the trap of the middle class mindset and why survival is not a strong enough business plan. Let's be real… If your only goal is to cover your bills… Take one decent vacation… And stay comfortable… You are not building an empire. You are recreating a paycheck. In this episode, you'll learn: Why survival is not a real business strategy How comfort can quietly destroy growth Why entrepreneurs must normalize bigger numbers and bigger goals How true wealth creates leverage, security, and impact The truth is simple: Stagnation is not safety. Inflation does not care about your comfort zone. Market shifts do not care that your bills are paid. Competitors do not stop moving because you feel stable. If your business stops growing, your security starts shrinking. High-level operators do not build just to survive. They build to dominate. They raise the standard. They think in bigger numbers. They push past the mental ceiling that once felt normal. Because true wealth is not just about luxury. It is about leverage. It is about options. It is about protecting your family, expanding your impact, and creating a future that cannot be taken from you. Shatter the ceiling. Think bigger. Execute harder. And keep leveling up.

190 Comfort Measures in the Hospital: What They Mean and How They Help Host Marie Betcher, a registered nurse and former hospice nurse, explains what "comfort measures" mean when offered during a hospital stay. Comfort measures begin when curative care stops and the focus shifts to relieving discomfort, pain, and distress for patients nearing end of life through appropriate medications and bedside care. She notes that comfort measures are not a full care program and lack the added support hospice can provide, but they are still valuable, especially when hospice is not offered or available due to insurance or location. Marie encourages families to participate at the bedside, report symptoms such as anxiety or shortness of breath, and expect fewer disruptions, limited transports and procedures, and a calmer environment. She also mentions hospice or palliative care as options depending on eligibility and time. 00:00 Welcome and Disclaimer 00:29 Meet Your Host 00:42 What Comfort Measures Mean 01:12 Comfort Measures vs Hospice 01:51 How Families Can Help 02:20 Creating a Calm Hospital Room 03:01 When to Choose Hospice 03:43 Palliative Care Option 04:15 Closing and Subscribe If you want to help, you can donate to help support Hospice Explained at the Buy me a Coffee link   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Hospice  Hospice Explained Affiliates & Contact Information Buying from these Affilite links will help support this Podcast.  Maire introduces a partnership with Suzanne Mayer RN inventor of the  cloud9caresystem.com,  When patients remain in the same position for extended periods, they are at high risk of developing pressure injuries, commonly known as bedsores.

Triggered and True is an emotional health podcast where Laura Duncan teaches The Compassion Method — a process for understanding emotional triggers, healing from shame, and reconnecting with your true self. In this special series episode, Laura and client-turned-co-host Brian Freise unpack the performance trap: the exhausting belief that acceptance has to be earned through behavior — and why the missing link for so many devoted believers isn't more devotion, but the unhealed wiring beneath their shame, anger, and unforgiveness.In this episode, you'll learn:

There’s a certain type of person who can’t half-ass anything. The kind of guy who decides to climb the Grand Teton on a whim, rappels off a sheer face having never rappelled before, canyoneers into some of the most remote slot canyons in the American Southwest, and packs mules solo through the dark at midnight to make the opener. Justin Helvik is that guy — and somehow, impossibly, he’s also a 20-year educator who coached high school football and showed up Monday morning with a collapsed lung and six broken ribs, insisting everything was fine. Justin and I go way back. He was with me on one of my early bear hunts. I helped him build the pole barn that would eventually house the mules he didn’t own yet. Life moves fast when you’re the kind of person who’s always got the next adventure already on the calendar. In this episode, Justin breaks down his unconventional path from desk jockey to legitimate mountain mule skinner — and I mean that in the best possible way. We talk about what drove a guy with zero ranch background to go all in on mule packing, the gnarly wreck on a Montana mountain goat hunt that left him with a punctured lung and broken ribs (and how his mule, Bella, somehow knew he was hurt and carried him out of the backcountry gently), and what it actually feels like to go from being intimidated by stock animals to packing 80 miles through the Yellowstone Thoroughfare. But this conversation goes deeper than mules. We get into the philosophy of adventure — what it means to chase that feeling of uncomfortable, why comfort might actually be the most dangerous thing you can do to yourself, and how stacking experiences over a lifetime is the only real way to build confidence that transfers everywhere. Justin talks about identity, ego, legacy, and what Lonesome Dove’s Augustus McCrae got right about living versus dying. He’s also got a Substack — From Desk Jockey to Mule Skinner — that I’d encourage every one of you to go read. He’s a great writer, and the stories are even better on the page. If you’ve ever thought about getting into pack stock, or you’re someone who’s wired to always be pushing the next limit, this one’s for you. Episode Sponsors Bridger Watch This episode is brought to you by Bridger Watch — the smartwatch built specifically for hunters, by a hunter. Cody set out to build something better after getting tired of pulling his phone out 100 times a day just to check his OnX map in the field. The solution? Put the maps on the watch. Bridger Watch is the best smartwatch for hunters, period. If you’re a watch guy and a hunter, this is built for you. Website: https://www.bridgerwatch.com?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss Coupon Code: TRO onX Hunt onX Hunt is the gold standard for hunting maps, and they just dropped a feature that’s going to change how you hunt with a buddy. The new Share Location feature inside the Go Track section lets you and your hunting partner see each other’s real-time position right on the map — like a modern-day Garmin Rino, but actually good. Fair warning: this only works in cell service, so it won’t help you in the deep dark. But for those in-service hunts? This is seriously cool tech that a lot of hunters have been asking for for years.

Comfort is the real killer — not the mountains. Justin makes the point that denying yourself the adventures you’re wired for is a slow death from the inside. It’s not just a mindset cliché — he’s seen it play out in his own life. When he’s not planning something that makes him a little nervous, he loses motivation everywhere else: at work, at home, as a father. The takeaway for listeners isn’t to go do something reckless. It’s to identify your version of “uncomfortable” and book it. Put it in the calendar. Then don’t cancel. 2. Stack experiences, not just kills. One of the most practical threads in this whole conversation is the concept of experience stacking — the idea that every micro-adventure you complete is compounding interest on your confidence. Justin didn’t go from zero to packing 80 miles through the Yellowstone Thoroughfare overnight. He stacked years of backcountry hunting, mule rides with friends, short overnighters, and hard lessons (including that ER visit) until the big trips felt like a natural next step. If you’re waiting until you’re “ready” to do the hunt of a lifetime, you’ll wait forever. Start smaller, go often, and let the experiences compound. 3. The anticipation is half the experience — book the trip. Justin and Cody dig into something that doesn’t get talked about enough in the hunting world: the happiness that comes from having something on the calendar to look forward to. Science backs this up — humans are wired to find joy in anticipation. The planning, the e-scouting, the gear lists, the late-night what-ifs with your buddy — that’s not just prep, that’s part of the experience itself. Don’t wait for the perfect conditions or the perfect budget. Book it now, figure it out along the way, and let yourself enjoy the countdown.

I'll tell you exactly why solving problems — not avoiding them — is the cure for depression, anxiety, and that victim mentality killing so many men today.
