The Rebbe explains that the festival of Sukkot emphasizes unity, exemplified by the four species symbolizing different types of Jews, bound together to fulfill the mitzvah. The Sukkah represents completeness and divine protection, reflecting how the Jewish people unite in their service to Hashem under a single canopy. https://www.torahrecordings.com/likutei-sichos/002/022_001

Something happens in your life when you have a personal encounter with God's love.  Something that changes you. I'm sure you know that God loves you.  But do you only know that on a surface level? For some, it's a mere blanket statement of faith – nothing more than a thing you say because it's what everyone else says.  “Jesus loves me this I know – for the Bible tells me so.”  But God wants his love to reach you in a deep, personal way to the core of your identity.  More than just because the Bible tells you so, but because you've personally experienced his love.  What God has for you is this, “Jesus loves me this I know – for he met me in my soul.” Before you are anything else, you are loved by God.  Before you are pretty enough, smart enough, or good enough in any way, you are LOVED BY GOD.  Before the first thing you did right or after the last thing you got wrong, you are loved by God.  Your mere existence proves the fact of his love for you. But because you've had his love every day of your life whether you acknowledged it or not, maybe it's just become ordinary and unimpressive to you.  Sure, I'm loved by God – but what about these bills?  Yeah, I have God's love, but what about all the things I don't seem to have right now?  What about this mess?  What about this problem?  What about next month?  God's love seems irrelevant in my real life of real struggles. Really, what does God's love do for you?  Well, besides the fact that his love for you created you, gives you breath, saves your soul, and gives you a promised eternity in paradise … there's more.  More for your real life right here today. Satan can't take away the fact that God's love gives you life.  He can't cancel your promised destiny in heaven.  But what Satan can actively do is make your world so busy, so loud, and so fussy with absolute nonsense that you forfeit the power of God's love here and now.  And then here you are walking around so totally loved by a God who holds all the power in the world, and totally unaware of how his love can radically change your life TODAY. Yes, today.  God's love can change your experience in this day of life.  God's love can open your eyes to what you've never seen before.  God's love can change your thoughts and fill your entire existence with peace and joy.  God's love can supernaturally strengthen you to do things you've never ever been able to do before. That's what the enemy doesn't want you to know.  Satan wants to keep you stuck in your pit of darkness, your overwhelm of sadness, your little hell of stress and worry.  Why?  Because there you are ineffective to share the light of Jesus.  There you are just another soul trudging through the existence of life waiting for it all to be over. Wait – has the enemy of your soul tricked you into living like that?  If so, recognize at the core of his trickery is the web of lies from the pits of hell telling you that you're not REALLY loved by God.  His lies tell you that you're just one of millions and millions of people and life is just happening to you.  His lies tell you you're not really important to the creator of the Universe and there's no divine power over the details of your days.  His lies tell you your prayers have no power, you don't really hear from the Holy Spirit, and God Almighty is a little too busy to constantly be caring about you. Hmmmm – you've heard those lies, haven’t you?  Have you started to believe them? How do you overcome a lie?  WITH TRUTH!  Here's the truth from God's word. Ephesians 3:19, “May you experience the LOVE OF CHRIST, though it I too great to understand fully.  Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.” This is the scripture directly after yesterday's verse giving us the measurements of God's love through the cross.  Remember, we can look at the cross and know how WIDE God's love is, how LONG God's love is, how HIGH God's love is and how DEEP God's love is.  But it's not enough to just know about these measurements of love through the cross, you must EXPERIENCE THIS LOVE. No you will never fully understand it, but you can still experience it.  You will never have the right words to express his love, but you will feel it deep within your soul when you encounter it.  Jesus loves me this I know, for he met me in my soul. May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ.  The Greek word translated into ‘experience' in this scripture is ginōskō.  This is a word for knowing firsthand after a personal encounter.  It's deeper than knowing because you were taught or told – it's a knowing because you've experienced it.  It's a shift from “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so” – to – “Jesus loves me this I know, for he met me in my soul.”  It's a shift from “I know God loves me”, to “I have BEEN loved by God in a way that changed me.” How does God's love change you?  It completes you.  It fills that hole that absolutely nothing else can.  You can achieve everything you've ever wanted to achieve, and still you need God's love.  You can have purely wonderful relationships all around you, and still you need God's love.  You can have the perfect body to include the hair, the clothes, the eyes, the smile, absolutely all the things, and you will still need God's love.  You can have everyone's approval and applause, and you will still feel a void within – a void that is only filled by God's love.  You can have everything – and everything will never be enough, without God's love. And here's why – Completeness comes from experiencing the love of God through Jesus.  Again, look at our scripture, “May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  THEN you will be made COMPLETE with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”  The answer for your emptiness is the love of Jesus.  The solution for your longing is the love of Jesus.  Yes, that wide, long, high and deep love represented through the cross.  Have you experienced his love for you? Oh how I pray that you would be caught by God and completely swept away in his love.  I can't give you a formula for experiencing that.  I can't tell you, go to this exact place, pray this exact prayer, wait for 5 minutes, then his love will meet you and change everything.  It's simply not like that.  God's love meets us each in different ways at different times. I specifically remember the first time I experienced God's love on this level.  It was at one of my worst moments.  A moment where I was utterly disappointed and broken by the way my steps of faith had been rewarded by more hardship.  I had grown angry and bitter in the hardship, convinced God has messed up.  Sitting on my couch that day, I wrestled with my true feelings and tried to suppress it all.  My husband said, “Pamela, why don’t you just say it – you're mad at God.”  I had never been told I could have that feeling and still be loved.  I never knew God was bigger than my disappointment.  I seriously thought I would be struck by lightning if I told God how I really felt about the crap happening in our life.  But in that moment I just couldn't hold it back any longer.  I screamed out, “God, I can't believe this is how you repay faithfulness.  I can't believe this is your good plan for me.  I'm so angry right now.” And then I held my breath waiting for the withdrawal of his presence.  But instead of being struck by lightening, I was struck by his unfailing love.  I personally experienced the LOVE of CHRIST there in my weakest and most vulnerable moment.  He didn't turn away from me, instead I could feel his peace fill me.  In unspeakable ways, I was loved like I had never been loved before.  In my most unlovable moment, I was fully loved. That was a turning point for me.  I stepped out of being the victim and I harnessed new power.  Yes, power.  Power that comes from God when you experience the love of Christ.  Things didn't instantly change for us, but I can look back and see exactly how God was working for good in every detail.  Our struggles prepared us for the outpouring of blessings to come.  We came out stronger, more grounded, stripped down of all the excess, and our hands were open to receive what God had for us next. Honesty allows us to experience God's life changing love.  You don't have to pretend you're okay.  You don't have to play along like you're happy about the way things turned out.  You don't have to smile your way through the pain.  God can handle your honest emotions – but you have to surrender them to him.  When you do, you'll be met with a love you could never earn.  And that love changes everything. Paul writes that once you experience the true measure of God's love that is wide, long, high and deep, “THEN YOU WILL BE MADE COMPLETE WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF LIFE AND POWER THAT COMES FROM GOD.” To have fullness means you lack nothing that is needed – you are perfectly filled.  Filled with LIFE and POWER. Have you ever met someone that is filled with LIFE and POWER?  They just glow different don't they?  There's something magnetic about them.  That's the power of Jesus' love within them.  If you want it, it's available to you too. You'll never understand this love, but you can live in it.  Faith is required here.  Surrender is your next step.  Go ahead and fall apart and let his loving arms catch you.  Experience his love. This is the flow: • Experience God's love • Be made whole in his love • Live filled with God's life and power The life God has for you and the power to fully live that life only comes AFTER experiencing his love.  You don't get that overflowing life without allowing a close relationship with God.  You don't get to stand on the bank, sis – You are being called into the waterfall of his love.  This is not a spectator sport.  Spectators see others be filled with life and power and walk away wondering why they can't have the same.  This is going to require you to get fully soaked in the flow of God's love! This is my genuine love-filled prayer for every single soul listening today – Oh how I want you to experience God's true love for you personally.  I have, and it changed everything.  It can do the same for you. May you EXPERIENCE the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  THEN you will be made COMPLETE with all the FULLNESS of LIFE and POWER that comes from God.

Being under the microscope during a corporate audit doesn't have to be a source of friction for marketing leaders. Amy Hu, CMO at New York Life, argues that a foundation of curiosity and a commitment to delivering genuine value can transform these evaluations into strategic opportunities. Rather than viewing audits as a threat, she says, top-tier CMOs lean into the process to identify blind spots and refine their programs. "Any other way is going to enhance the doubt," she says. "And you are trying to say, Yeah, that's great. What can we do to satisfy what you need? And maybe there is a better way." Today on Building Better CMOs, Amy and Greg talk about her career journey as the CMO and Senior Vice President of New York Life, one of the nation's largest mutual insurance companies. She discusses how to navigate the complexities of legacy financial institutions, how to turn difficult jobs into growth and wisdom, and why CMOs need to be more adaptable to business needs.

Season 5, Episode 15: Understanding the 10 Buying Consumers in Pest Control SalesIn this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey Lewis breaks down an important sales and marketing lesson for pest control companies: not all consumers buy the same way, and they should not all be sold the same way.This episode explores the classic ATT training concepts of DICEN and FARPS, which identify the 10 major buying consumer types you are likely to encounter. On one side are consumers generally looking for any pest control company, including the Dissatisfied, Infrequent, Competitive, Emergency, and Newcomer buyer. On the other side are those more likely looking for your company specifically, including the Former customer, Advertising influenced, Repeat customer, Passer by, and Solicited buyer.Casey explains how each of these consumer types interacts with a pest control company differently, what motivates them, how they should be handled by your office and sales team, and why it is a mistake to prejudge which leads are best or worst. Some buyers may appear weak on the surface but become outstanding long-term customers, while others that seem easy may still require the right support to close.The episode also introduces RASCIL — Reliability, Authorized products and services, Special services, Completeness of service, Illustrations and slogan, and Locations served — as a framework for understanding what consumers are actually looking for when they compare pest control companies online.This is a strong educational episode for pest control owners, managers, CSR teams, and salespeople who want to improve lead handling, better understand buyer intent, and increase close rates by matching the right communication style to the right customer.For help with pest control marketing, websites, SEO, Google Ads, Local Service Ads, CRM automation, and lead generation, visit www.rhinopestcontrolmarketing.com or email casey@rhinopros.com.Please review us on Rhino Pest Control Marketing and let us know how we can improve in 2026.Casey Lewis⁠casey@rhinopros.com⁠ (925) 464-8383Follow and subscribe at the following links:⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RhinoPestControlMarketing⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/rhinopestcontrolmarketing⁠Leave us a review on Google:⁠https://g.page/r/CT9-E84ypVI0EBM/review

Thursday, 26 March 2026   “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? Matthew 18:12   “What, you, it seems? If it should become, to some man, a hundred sheep, and it should roam – one from them, not he left the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and having gone, he seeks the roaming?” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus noted that the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. He now provides a metaphorical example of this, beginning with, “What, you, it seems?”   Jesus will ponder a question based on His statement to elicit them to think through what it is like from God's perspective. In essence, “Here is a situation. What would you do about this matter?” It should be noted that Luke's gospel provides more surrounding detail. That is found in Luke 15:1-7. The audience is different in both, and so it is likely that this same basic parable was spoken at different times, something that would be expected in any ministry.   As for His question, He next says, “If it should become, to some man, a hundred sheep.” It is a nice round number, which reveals a man with some wealth, but understanding his abilities are best directed to this number. He is attentive to maintain the flock at this set size, maybe selling off anything that goes beyond it.   As for the number itself, it is a multiple of ten. Bullinger notes that the number signifies ordinal perfection. He says of it, “Completeness of order, marking the entire round of anything, is, therefore, the ever-present signification of the number ten. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect; that the whole cycle is complete.”   As for this man with his one hundred sheep, Jesus next says, “and it should roam – one from them.”   As the man is carefully attentive to his flock, having one leave would mean there is a void in what he considers the proper amount of sheep to tend to. Remembering that they are “his sheep,” he determines to protect that which is his. Therefore, Jesus asks the disciples what they would do, but doing so already knowing what their answer will be, saying, “not he left the ninety-nine upon the mountains?”   This is the obvious thing such a meticulous shepherd would do. It should be observed that in Luke, it says he left them in the wilderness. Here, it is the mountains. In the Bible, a mountain represents a large amount of something gathered together. In typology, it is synonymous with a large but centralized group of people.   Jesus doesn't say he left the other sheep alone. To say he did would be an argument from silence. He could have had three sons or five servants with him. As for the number ninety-nine, nine signifies the conclusion of a matter. It is the number of finality or judgment. Eleven is the number that marks “disorder, disorganization, imperfection, and disintegration.”   So there is a finality resulting in disharmony if the one isn't found. Because of this, Jesus continues the question, “and having gone, he seeks the roaming?”   A new word is seen here, planaó, to roam or wander. It is a word cognate to the etymological root of our word planet. The reason for this is that, unlike stars, the planets appear to wander through the night sky, sometimes even going into retrograde. To the people, they were curious anomalies that demanded a different word than star to describe them.   The answer to the question would be obvious to the disciples. Here is a man with his perfectly precise flock. With one wandering off, there is disharmony. Jesus will continue His words to explain what He is referring to.   Life application: As noted, the text says nothing concerning who, if anyone, the ninety-nine were left with. And yet, it is common in teachings and sermons to have some thought not in Scripture added into the account, as if the one was more important than the ninety-nine because the others were left alone.   But that assumes too much. When David was tasked by his father to take supplies to his brothers, he left his flocks with a guarder to tend to them (1 Samuel 17:20). Nabal had many sheep, and he had men tending to them in 1 Samuel 25.   Remember that when you hear sermons, you should not make a new brain squiggle over what you hear unless you check what the pastor is referring to or think the matter through carefully. Once you hear something and assimilate it into your mind, that will normally become a settled matter in your thinking.   But settled matters that are incorrect will inevitably lead to more incorrect thinking. Step by step, your thinking will stray from what is intended. So be sure to check things out!   Lord God, how wonderful it is to search out Your word and find how much Your people really mean to You. For those who are Yours, we can see that You are willing to go to great lengths to bring us back to You. How blessed we are that because of Jesus, we are safely cared for. Thank You for Jesus, who has made this bond possible. Amen.  

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FIFTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.22| THE POWER OF RETREAT|JESUS WALKING ON WATER| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Theme: PRAYER – Think, Meditate, and Muse Prayer is more than spoken words, it begins in the quiet chambers of the mind. In this session, we explore prayer as the act of thinking, meditating, and musing: the unspoken intentions that precede every request. Before words are formed, prayer has already begun. Highlights & Key Notes - Prayer as Thought: Prayer starts with contemplation, quiet focus, and intentional planning in the mind.  - Scriptural Anchors: Philippians 4:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:17 remind us that thinking without ceasing is praying without ceasing.  - Completeness vs. Correctness: As saints, we are called to seek completeness in Christ (Colossians 2:9) rather than doctrinal divides that chase mere correctness.  - God Knows Our Thoughts: Isaiah 65:24 assures us that God hears and answers even before words are spoken.  - Victory in Thoughts: David conquered Goliath first in his thoughts; Jesus discerned hearts before words were uttered (Matthew 9:2–4).  - Transforming the Mind: When our thoughts align with God's will (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:5), prayer becomes powerful, acceptable, and fruitful.  - Guarding Meditation: True prayer requires thoughts that are pure, honest, just, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4:8).  Key Insight Prayer begins with thoughts and culminates in words. If you can settle it in your thoughts, your words will be few yet powerful. God answers the musings of the heart, and when those thoughts are aligned with His Word, they become prayers that prevail. Discover how to reflect on the profound truth that thinking is praying. Every thought is a seed of prayer, so who are you praying to with your thoughts today?  Listen now to the full audio teaching on the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast.

Friday, 16 January 2026   Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. Matthew 15:38   “And those eating, they were four thousand men, besides women and children” (CG).   In the previous verse, the multitudes ate, and yet, after the meal, the disciples took up seven hampers full of leftovers. With that stated, Matthew next reveals the size of the crowd, saying, “And those eating, they were four thousand men.”   It is a new word, tetrakischilioi, four thousand. It is derived from tessares, four, and chilioi, a thousand. Thus, it is four times a thousand, or simply four thousand. The number is derived from four and tens.   In the Bible, four, according to Bullinger, “always has reference to all that is created. It is emphatically the number of Creation; of man in his relation to the world as created; while six is the number of man in his opposition to and independence of God. It is the number of things that have a beginning, of things that are made, of material things, and matter itself. It is the number of material completeness. Hence it is the world number, and especially the ‘city' number.”   Ten “is one of the perfect numbers, and signifies the perfection of Divine order, commencing, as it does, an altogether new series of numbers. The first decade is the representative of the whole numeral system, and originates the system of calculation called ‘decimals,' because the whole system of numeration consists of so many tens, of which the first is a type of the whole. Completeness of order, marking the entire round of anything, is, therefore, the ever-present signification of the number ten. It implies that nothing is wanting; that the number and order are perfect; that the whole cycle is complete.”   Of this number of men, Matthew adds, “besides women and children.” If one were to figure each man had a wife and two children, the crowd would have been about sixteen thousand. It is impossible to know if there were this many, more, or fewer, but it is a good estimation of those who were fed.   Life application: As the chapter is winding down, take time to think about all that has been going on. God is giving us information in the things Jesus does, the places He goes to, etc. There is the surface text, which is given to provide a literal historical account of what occurred. There is normally an underlying pictorial or typological story or truth being conveyed.   At times, there will be a prophetic application. And finally, there is usually a moral application to be considered. These will not always be included in every chapter, but they will be seen throughout the Bible for one who is attentive to what is being said.   And more, these four ways of viewing Scripture will often overlap. The main thing is to be careful not to insert information into the text. Rather, it is to be drawn out based on a reliable reading and understanding of the overall tenor of Scripture.   As an example, within twenty-four hours of having typed this commentary, a pastor was in the news saying that Jesus must have been “super gay” because He was always around twelve men. Not only is this an unfaithful reading of the life of Jesus, inserting a homosexual agenda into Scripture, but it is also a morally perverse statement.   The person teaching this will be held accountable for his blasphemous remarks. He thinks he is scoring points with a congregation, but what he is actually doing is storing up wrath in His day of condemnation.   Be careful to never take your own ideas about what a passage is saying and apply them to the word. The Bible is not about any one of us, what we hope for, or how we can manipulate it for some perceived profit. It is a holy word given to us by God to understand what He has done and is doing in redemptive history. Above all, it is a book pointing to His work in and through Jesus Christ. Be sure to always look at it from this perspective.   Lord God, it is terrible how people treat Your word, shame Your glory, and bring reproach upon themselves as they tear apart Your precious word. We know they will be dealt with, but it is troubling to us at this time. Help us to never bring discredit upon Your glorious name, but rather exalt You at all times. May it be so, to Your glory. Amen.

Completeness sits at the center of why collectors stay engaged. That final card slotted into a binder or case delivers a feeling that pushes the hobby forward. In this episode Brett explores why the pursuit of complete holds so much power. He breaks down the psychology behind the chase, including data from a University of Arizona study that shows motivation increases as collectors move closer to finishing a project.He explains how completeness brings structure to a chaotic hobby, why it raises the value of certain cards, and how it shapes long term decision making for every type of collector. Brett shares real stories from collectors who chase sets, player runs, rainbows, and team projects.He highlights how each collector defines complete on their own terms and why that freedom is the true foundation of meaningful collecting.If you want to bring intention, focus, and purpose to your collecting, this conversation gives you clarity on what completeness means and why it matters.Check out the awesome software that InfernoRed Technology can build for you.Get your free copy of Collecting For Keeps: Finding Meaning In A Hobby Built On HypeStart your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Turning 40 isn't just about getting older—it's about waking up to what truly matters.

Have you ever wondered what it really looks like to live under the reign of Jesus? Through the Sermon on the Mount, He gives us more than ancient wisdom. It's His Kingdom manifesto—a revolutionary vision for a new humanity. Not a list of impossible rules, but an invitation to a new way of being human. A way that leads to freedom, blessing, and fullness of life. Each week, we'll expose the broken systems that shape us—anger, greed, judgment, misplaced identity—and discover how Jesus flips them upside down, calling us into His narrow path that satisfies the soul. And you don't have to walk that path alone. Join a Life Group and explore the Sermon on the Mount in community—where questions, encouragement, and shared stories will help you live what Jesus is teaching.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 10/24/25 - From Master Dogen's Genjokoan, our environment is not separate from our basic nature, and all creatures move within their element. When we feel separate or create schisms, we are going to suffer until we can bring ourselves to practice in accord with reality as it is. In this talk given during a Renewal of Vows ceremony, Shugen Roshi teaches that when we have a sense of completeness with what is, what is real, there is joy and ease. And then we are free to be unhindered in bringing good into our world. (Dharma Talk during the Harvest Sesshin Fusatsu Ceremony. And from the Fall 2025 Ango - Genjokoan Series of Talks - Part 9)

Experience peace through the Chant for Completeness—a Vedic mantra that nurtures inner harmony, mindfulness, and holistic well-being.

In last week's episode, I talked about when following through with the plans we've made with ourselves can be an act of self-care - particularly when you have anything going on in your life that's making operating at your normal capacity a challenge. Today's episode continues that conversation and I talk about when you determine that productivity is *not* an act of self-care and how you can create a sense of completeness even when everything isn't done. Tune in to hear what that can look like for you. By the end of this episode, you'll learn how you can feel like you can switch off from work (whether that's the end of a workday or right before a longer break) - even when the plans you had set for yourself weren't complete. You'll learn about developing the ability to say when enough is enough - and how to make that decision in an empowering way.   How to get more help with your perfectionism: Take The Perfectionism Quiz - samlaurabrown.com/quiz Sign up for daily Perfectionist Power-Ups - samlaurabrown.com/power Join the waitlist: Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD) - samlaurabrown.com/pgsd Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Sam - samlaurabrown.com/coaching Follow me on instagram: @perfectionismproject

The thOTs are not here for your messy spreadsheets or half-baked interview guides. They're diving into data evaluation and communication.

Whether you're a seasoned researcher, a grad student in the trenches, or just nosy, this convo will get your epistemo-ontological life together. Spoiler, this one's for the nerds. Highlights include: Ryan being the queen of codes, Khalilah calling out raggedy methods, and the thOTs deciding when to gate keep.
