Podcasts about Conditional

In this episode we seek to explain the theological position of conditional election based on the foreknowledge of God of the future faith of his people. Is the idea of election biblical?Do all Christians believe in election? If so, what are the different views? (we focus on conditional election, corporate election, and unconditional election)How do we understand God's foreknowledge?These questions and others will be examined to see what the Bible has to say about God's election. Connect With Usprovidenceomaha.org | Instagram | FacebookEmail Usformation@providenceomaha.org

     The spiritual life cannot be fully understood or lived until the believer grasps the distinction between positional truth and experiential truth. Learning God's Word is always the starting point for the Christian way of life (1 Pet 2:2; 2 Tim 3:16–17). Until the believer orients to what God has already accomplished at initial salvation, he cannot discern what God now expects in fellowship (Rom 6:3–11). Confusion or neglect of Scripture inevitably drives the Christian into legalism, emotionalism, ritualism, activism, or frustration (Col 2:8, 20–23; Gal 3:1–3). Bible doctrine learned and applied provides the foundation for executing the spiritual life (Rom 12:2; Jam 1:22). God's riches for the believer include both positional and experiential blessings, and the former establishes the ground on which the latter are enjoyed (Eph 1:3; Col 2:6–7).

I've withheld generosity more than once and called it discernment.After hearing Sean Ryan's episode on megachurch corruption, I started filtering every giving decision through suspicion before conviction ever got a vote. And it wasn't just institutions — I've done the same thing on a street corner, hesitating to give to someone because I didn't know what they'd do with it.Two different fears, same operating question: what will they do with this, and does that determine whether I obey.In this episode I'm breaking down the difference between stewardship and control, using the Good Samaritan to show that the call to give was never contingent on having certainty about the outcome — and naming where I've let someone else's potential bad choice override my own conviction.Scripture referenced: 1 Corinthians 15:58, Luke 10:25-37, Proverbs 19:17, 2 Corinthians 9:7About the host: Whitney Kay is a content & sales strategist in brand partnerships with 15+ years as an entrepreneur and 6+ years leading discipleship and small group ministry.

Loyalty: Biblical, Abusive, Conditional, or Exploitive? Which kind do you practice? Which kind do you want to live by?

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough; it's the message we constantly receive through media and advertisements. It's the message that once you have this thing, or make this much, then you will be happy... all of your dreams will come true! The truth is actually the opposite as this kind of grasping for more is associated with mood problems, anxiety, and stress.  We'll dig into this trap of "having enough" and how we can break free from it and embrace our enoughness.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

And why doesn't it ever work? A: This episode explains the psychology of contingent self-worth and the neuroscience of hedonic adaptation: when you stake your value on external things, the bar always moves, the reward always fades faster than expected, and there is never enough; understanding the mechanism is the first step to stepping off the treadmill.   Q: Someone I love seems to measure their worth entirely by what they have or what they've achieved — how do I understand that, and is there a way out? A: Henry's story of his patient and Aimee's story of her father both illuminate how the having-more strategy develops and why it becomes impervious to reason; this episode also names the false-self as the construction that drives the endless proving, and points to the inner compass that is always there underneath it. The good news is that there is a way out and this series explores those paths to enoughness.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome — Enoughness part 2: having enough [00:30] Having enough isn't really about the amount — it's the belief that acquiring this much will make the bad feelings go away  [01:00] Conditional acceptance and love: growing up having to produce, perform, or prove before being given love — the untended grief that drives the proving [01:30] Francis Weller: what happens when we aren't born into a village with a full, joyous welcome of our gifts  [02:00] Henry's story: a venture capital executive, clearly depressed, sent to therapy against his will  [04:00] CBT couldn't break through — his thinking was so distorted he was impervious to reason; he clung to the belief that he added no value whatsoever  [05:00] The lesson Henry learned viscerally: it is futile to try to fill a hole in self-worth by accumulating money or anything else we value  [05:30] If you believe external achievement proves your worth, there will never, ever be enough — and what a drain on one's energy and vitality  [06:00] Aimee's father: grew up needing to grasp for more, family lived week to week — so grasping for more was genuinely what they needed to survive  [06:30] AImee Prasek "Money can absolutely buy relief from misery, but it doesn't buy happiness or joy with the same predictability."  [07:00] The neuroscience: dopamine tracks more with anticipation of getting the thing than with actually getting it — the reward at arrival is inconsistent and can be short-lived  [07:30] Most things can be taken away — a shaky foundation if you've built your identity or worth on them  [08:00] Aimee's father attached his worth to signs of success — culture pushes this onto us too  [09:00] His business fell apart and everything came crashing down — Aimee believes his contingent self-worth collapsed with it [09:30] Watching strangers take back the repossessed items — cars, boats, pieces of him; everything he'd staked his value on, gone in a day  [10:30] Henry: a prolonged grieving right there — it's the universal human experience [11:30] Hedonic adaptation, or the hedonic treadmill: big life events shift our mood temporarily, then we return to baseline  [12:30] Like Sisyphus: pushing the same rock up the hill, same outcome every time — all that effort does not create lasting change  [13:30] Hedonic wellbeing (drive toward pleasure, avoidance of pain) vs. eudaimonic wellbeing (meaning, authenticity, self-acceptance, personal growth) — it's not one or the other; you don't have to give up pleasure  [14:30] Socially-prescribed perfectionism added to the mix: contingencies of self-worth + hedonic treadmill + belief that others demand your perfection = perfect storm  [15:00] The belief that you can and should live without pain, full of only pleasure, proving it all the time — and it is just not true  [15:30] Henry: where the false-self gets born — when we learn that our worth is conditional on performance, appearance, or achievement, we hide the real self  [16:00] We construct a version of ourselves we believe will be acceptable, lovable, worthy of belonging — and it is exhausting to maintain  [16:30] Constant vigilance: am I saying the right thing, do I look right, am I achieving enough? Always the fear of being exposed as a fraud  [17:00] The paradox: the more we invest in the false-self, the less we're actually being loved for who we are — and deep down, we know this [17:30] Donald Winnicott's work on the false-self — link in show notes; also: the Authenticity series and the episode on feeling enough as a mom  [18:00] The false-self is like holding up a complex lie — cognitively and physically exhausting  [18:30] The inner compass is always there underneath the false-self — that knowing of our worth is never lost; it's never too late to come back to it  [19:00] Head to your Experiment in the Joy Lab Program to work on having enough; head to JoyLab.coach to access the Experiments [19:00] Closing wisdom from Lynne Twist: "Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Eternal security has been made available for the whosoevers but every whosoever has the choice to turn away from it if they choose to do so

This morning we are going to get back to the major theme of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount, which is Jesus identifying and calling out religious hypocrisy. In this message, we will look at His calling out of hypocritical forgiveness and hypocritical fasting.

Key Themes & Core MessageDivine Presence Within: God resides directly inside the heart. The "soul-bride" suffers from unnecessary longing only because she believes God is distant; purity of heart and intent instantly bridges this separation.Conditional vs. True Love: Religious talk or devotion without genuine love is transactional and superficial—people often appreciate God only when receiving worldly blessings, rather than seeking a deeper, unselfish connection.Sustenance Through the Divine: God inherently protects and sustains all creation. Absorbing God's Name provides true spiritual nourishment, completely satisfying internal desires and worldliness.Universal Presence: The Divine is universally present within everyone, though only a rare few truly realize it and find peace under God's protection.Verse BreakdownShalok 1: Emphasizes that God is not far away. The feeling of separation stems from an unfocused or divided mind; aligning one's intentions with sincerity brings immediate spiritual union.Shalok 2: Exposes superficial piety. Utterances mean little if love is absent, as devotion based purely on receiving material gifts vanishes when the giving stops.Pauree 20: Affirms God as the ultimate Creator and Provider. Feasting on the "Ambrosial Nectar" of the True Name yields absolute spiritual fulfillment, ending all residual inner hunger.ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ਘਰ ਹੀ ਮੁੰਧਿ ਵਿਦੇਸਿ ਪਿਰੁ ਨਿਤ ਝੂਰੇ ਸੰਮ੍ਹਾਲੇ ॥ ਮਿਲਦਿਆ ਢਿਲ ਨ ਹੋਵਈ ਜੇ ਨੀਅਤਿ ਰਾਸਿ ਕਰੇ ॥੧॥ਅਰਥ: ਪਤੀ ਤਾਂ ਘਰ (ਭਾਵ, ਹਿਰਦੇ) ਵਿਚ ਹੀ ਹੈ, (ਪਰ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ) ਪਰਦੇਸ ਵਿਚ (ਸਮਝਦੀ ਹੋਈ) ਕਮਲੀ ਇਸਤ੍ਰੀ ਸਦਾ ਝੂਰਦੀ ਹੈ ਤੇ (ਉਸ ਨੂੰ) ਯਾਦ ਕਰਦੀ ਹੈ; ਜੇ ਨੀਯਤ ਸਾਫ਼ ਕਰੇ ਤਾਂ ਮਿਲਦਿਆਂ ਢਿੱਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਗਦੀ।੧।ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਗਾਲੀ ਕੂੜੀਆ ਬਾਝੁ ਪਰੀਤਿ ਕਰੇਇ ॥ ਤਿਚਰੁ ਜਾਣੈ ਭਲਾ ਕਰਿ ਜਿਚਰੁ ਲੇਵੈ ਦੇਇ ॥੨॥ਅਰਥ: ਹੇ ਨਾਨਕ! ਹਰੀ ਨਾਲ) ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਨ ਤੋਂ ਬਿਨਾ (ਭਾਵ, ਪਿਆਰ ਤੋਂ ਸੱਖਣਾ ਜਦ ਤਾਈਂ ਰਹੇ) ਹੋਰ ਗੱਲਾਂ (ਕਰਨੀਆਂ) ਝੂਠੀਆਂ ਹਨ; (ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਏਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ) ਤਦ ਤਾਈਂ (ਹਰੀ ਨੂੰ ਜੀਵ) ਚੰਗਾ ਸਮਝਦਾ ਹੈ ਜਦ ਤਾਈਂ (ਹਰੀ) ਦੇਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਤੇ (ਜੀਵ) ਲੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ (ਭਾਵ, ਜਦ ਤਕ ਜੀਵ ਨੂੰ ਕੁਝ ਮਿਲਦਾ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ) ।੨।ਪਉੜੀ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਜੀਅ ਤਿਨਿ ਹਰਿ ਰਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤੁ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਉ ਭੋਜਨੁ ਚਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਤਿਪਤਿ ਰਹੇ ਆਘਾਇ ਮਿਟੀ ਭਭਾਖਿਆ ॥ਅਰਥ: ਜਿਸ ਹਰੀ ਨੇ ਜੀਵ ਪੈਦਾ ਕੀਤੇ ਹਨ, ਉਸੇ ਨੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ; ਜੋ ਜੀਵ ਉਸ ਹਰੀ ਦਾ ਆਤਮਕ ਜੀਵਨ ਦੇਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਸੱਚਾ ਨਾਮ (ਰੂਪ) ਭੋਜਨ ਛਕਦੇ ਹਨ ਤੇ (ਇਸ ਭੋਜਨ ਨਾਲ) ਉਹ ਬੜੇ ਰੱਜ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੀ ਹੋਰ ਖਾਣ ਦੀ ਇੱਛਾ ਮਿਟ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ।ਸਭ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਇਕੁ ਵਰਤੈ ਕਿਨੈ ਵਿਰਲੈ ਲਾਖਿਆ ॥ ਜਨ ਨਾਨਕ ਭਏ ਨਿਹਾਲੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਕੀ ਪਾਖਿਆ ॥੨੦॥SHALOK, FIRST MEHL:The soul-bride is at home, while the Husband Lord is away; she cherishes His memory, and mourns His absence. She shall meet Him without delay, if she rids herself of duality. || 1 || FIRST MEHL: O Nanak, false is the speech of one who acts without loving the Lord. He judges things to be good, only as long as the Lord gives and he receives. || 2 || PAUREE: The Lord, who created the creatures, also protects them. I have tasted the food of Ambrosial Nectar, the True Name. I am satisfied and satiated, and my hunger is appeased. The One Lord is pervading in all, but rare are those who realize this. Servant Nanak is enraptured, in the Protection of God. || 20 ||

Key extensions to Tauranga's wharf have been given the green light after a seven-year battle. A fast-track expert panel's issued a draft decision proposing to grant all approvals sought by Port of Tauranga. The development involves extending the Sulphur Point container berth by 385 metres and the Mount Maunganui wharves by 315 metres. Port Chief Executive Leonard Sampson told Mike Hosking it's been incredibly frustrating getting to this stage. He says in the scheme of things, it's minor upgrades to accommodate more container vessels. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan Mail Getting rejected for your mental health can mess with your identity in ways people rarely talk about. We're joined by author Jeff Dalton, who shares what it felt like to be treated as “defective” after a bipolar disorder diagnosis and why the rejection hurt most inside the faith spaces where he expected belonging. We get honest about the loneliness that follows spiritual gatekeeping and the quiet way conditional approval can rewrite how you see yourself. We also name the damage caused by mental health stigma in church culture, especially when leaders speak like experts without training and reduce complex conditions to sin, weak faith, or something “demonic.” Jeff explains how those messages produce shame, fear, and silence, and why the most meaningful support often looks simple: showing up, staying present, and listening well. If you've ever wanted to help someone but didn't know what to say, this will reframe what real care can be. Then we move into the performance trap: what happens when your worth is tied to results, numbers, followers, or sales. Jeff connects a failed book launch to a deeper belief that he wasn't enough, and he shares how rereading the Gospels, including the Parable of the Talents, helped him redefine success as faithfulness rather than output. If you're navigating bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, or faith deconstruction, you'll hear language for rebuilding self-worth without pretending you're fine. Subscribe for more real conversations, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review with the one takeaway you're choosing to live this week. Note: This episode discusses one guest's personal religious beliefs and experience within a specific faith community, including his views on stigma toward mental illness in some religious spaces. These are his own opinions and experiences, not a general position on faith communities or a clinical perspective on mental health.  Connect With the Guest: Facebook: facebook.com/JMDalton777 TikTok: @JeffDalton777 YouTube: @JeffDalton9906 Book: "Expressions of the Heart: Poems and Devotionals" (available on Amazon, digital and paperback) Our Protector Development Offer: $100 OFF ENROLLMENT | Code: ENROLL100 The Rooted Co-op 50% off the Nervous System Work: Be the Change Course! | Code: POD50 The Kloaked Signal Select for pre-order discount 10% | Code: podfans10 Focal Point Coaching of Oak Park Offer: First session FREE | Code: Mention "HealthyMind" in your email Royalty Coaching and Consulting Offering Coaching to help men go through the workbook and achieve freedom in all areas of life!

Alli Alosa demonstrates how to use the 'Insert as JSON' feature in Airtable automations to reliably handle incoming data from external webhooks, such as Fillout. She explains why this method is more robust than traditional field mapping, especially when dealing with inconsistent data. The discussion covers a practical use case involving event feedback collection. By passing the entire payload as a JSON object, you can prevent automations from failing when certain form fields are left empty or missing from the payload. Finally, the team explores how to use this JSON data within a script action. Instead of manually mapping every individual field as an input, you can pass the entire object into a script, allowing for much more scalable and maintainable automation logic. ⏱ In this cut: 01:03 — Using feedback collection as a use case 12:38 — The benefits of using Insert as JSON 13:37 — Solving errors caused by empty field values 17:00 — Passing JSON data into a script action 25:09 — Conditional filters and advanced integrations

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a struggle that lives in the space where faith and first responder work intersect — the quiet, disorienting experience of watching your belief in God become conditional on outcomes you cannot control and cannot always make sense of. This is not about losing faith. It is about the version of faith that survives the calls where everything went wrong, the deaths that made no sense, the prayers that felt unanswered, and the outcomes that changed you in ways you are still trying to understand. This episode is an honest conversation about what happens to belief when the job keeps providing evidence that is hard to reconcile with the God you thought you knew.

Who Am I Without the Hustle?What happens when you strip away the degrees, promotions, job titles, accomplishments, and constant productivity?Who are you then?In this deeply personal episode of Let Me Fix My Crown, Regina gets honest about achievement addiction, productivity guilt, and what it feels like when your identity becomes more connected to your résumé than to the woman underneath it all.For years, Regina's hustle was fueled by survival, family responsibility, ambition, and the desire to create a life that looked different from the one she grew up seeing. Every degree, promotion, and opportunity represented growth—but somewhere along the way, constantly achieving became the norm, and slowing down started to feel uncomfortable.Now, as she prepares to enter a new decade of life, Regina is asking herself a different question:Am I chasing purpose—or am I trying to prove that I am worthy?In this episode, we're talking about:✨ Achievement addiction and why success can become difficult to stop chasing✨ The pressure to immediately move on to the next goal✨ When your identity becomes tied to your career and accomplishments✨ The emotional side of promotions, degrees, and professional growth✨ Productivity guilt and why doing nothing can feel so uncomfortable✨ How survival mode affects rest, silence, and the nervous system✨ Conditional self-worth and the belief that you must produce to matter✨ Becoming a softer, more intentional version of yourself✨ Learning to separate who you are from what you doConditional self-worth happens when you only feel valuable while you are producing, helping, fixing, achieving, or succeeding.But your worth was never supposed to depend on your productivity.Your accomplishments may change. Your titles may change. Your career may change.Your value does not.Take out your journal and answer this question:Who are you without mentioning your job, degree, income, relationship status, motherhood, or accomplishments?Do not rush the answer. Sit with yourself. Come back to it more than once if you need to.Then ask yourself:What am I unlearning in this season of my life?Maybe this week, instead of asking, “What do I need to accomplish next?” ask:“Who am I becoming?”Because titles change. Careers change. Promotions come and go.But the woman you are becoming?She is the real accomplishment.Listen now, complete the reflection exercise, and share your answer with Regina on Spotify or Instagram.Until next time, protect your peace, honor your healing, and do not forget to take care of the woman behind the crown.

Exodus 23:20-33

Episode Summary Evan shares his story as a third-generation Jehovah's Witness whose family joined the organization during a period of marital vulnerability. After his father died of HIV-related complications when Evan was just three years old, the family faced intense judgment and stigma within the congregation, leading them to relocate to a rural "compound" in North Carolina for a fresh start. Growing up, Evan was fueled by the "resurrection hope"—the promise that if he remained obedient and "did more" for the organization, he would eventually be reunited with his father. The episode explores the heavy psychological toll of this upbringing, including the "bloodguilt" placed on children to convert their peers and the "reverse parenting" Evan performed while his mother struggled with severe mental health issues. Evan details his transition from a socially unprepared "clip-on tie" child to a rebellious teenager leading a double life, which eventually culminated in a judicial committee and his expulsion at age 20. Now 40, Evan reflects on his journey of rebuilding his own identity, the "superpower" of personal autonomy, and how he created a "chosen family" outside the walls of the Kingdom Hall. Key Takeaways Resurrection Hope as Leverage: The organization uses the grief of losing a parent to "double down" on a child's commitment, making their future reunion dependent on constant religious performance. The "Cage" of Protection: Evan deconstructs the common JW illustration that the organization is a protective "cage" in a shark-infested ocean, arguing that a cage is still a restricting cage regardless of the perceived safety it provides. Autonomy as a Superpower: Leaving the organization provides a "clean slate" where an individual can finally choose their own morals, circle of friends, and identity without institutional permission. Institutional Gaslighting: The organization's culture is designed to make members doubt themselves and their own perceptions, effectively teaching obedience over identity. Financial and Emotional Retaliation: Even after leaving, members may face continued attempts at control, such as Evan's mother attempting to commit tax fraud involving him or demanding rent from her "checking out" teenage son. Direct Quotes "Autonomy is the coolest thing in the world. And once you have it, it never stops." "You learn obedience, not identity." "Conditional love is not love. Everything in the organization is conditional."

Right now, thousands of Australian property investors are being drawn to off-the-plan properties like moths to a flame. And I understand why.   After the 2026 Federal Budget changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax, new properties are suddenly looking very attractive. The marketing is glossy, the tax benefits sound compelling, and the salespeople are convincing.   But here's what those salespeople won't tell you. Signing that contract is the easy part. What happens over the next two years - and at settlement - can financially ruin you.   Today, I'm chatting with Dorian Traill, Senior Wealth Strategist at Metropole, who walks us through exactly how the finance side of these deals works, and more importantly, all the ways it can go catastrophically wrong.   If you or someone you know is being tempted by an off-the-plan purchase right now, you need to hear this episode before you sign anything. And even if you're not interested in buying off the plan at present, there's going to be some great tips from Dorian to help you as a property investor.   In this episode, we discuss the hidden risks of buying off the plan in today's changing market.   We unpack why glossy marketing, tax incentives, and pre-sales can make these projects look safer than they really are.   We discuss how long settlement timelines expose buyers to finance changes, income shocks, and valuation gaps.   We explore why lender caution, oversupply, and shrinking loan ratios can derail a deal at settlement.   We also look at how contract clauses, design changes, and delayed builds can leave investors trapped in risky commitments.   Takeaways   • Off-the-plan sales help developers secure bank funding by proving enough pre-sales. • Buyers often commit years before completion, increasing exposure to changing circumstances. • Conditional finance approvals usually expire long before settlement arrives. • Lenders may reject loans in oversupplied postcodes or high-rise buildings. • A lower valuation at settlement can force buyers to find extra cash. • Oversupply can push rents down after temporary rental guarantees end. • Small apartments often attract fewer buyers and weaker resale competition. • Contract variation clauses can reduce apartment size or alter finishes materially. • If a developer fails, buyers may remain trapped in limbo. • Tax benefits cannot rescue a poorly chosen property or weak location.   Links and Resources:   Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ •        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time. •        Every entry receives a copy of a fully updated Michael Yardney Property Report.   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan.

Send us Fan MailConcern is one of the most socially approved forms of anxiety, and that's exactly why it can be so hard to see. We talk about the moment “I'm just worried about you” stops being love and starts becoming pressure, projection, and control. When concern turns into rumination, diagnosing, or mentally rehearsing what someone should do, it doesn't deepen connection. It quietly wedges the ego into the relationship and steals the ease that makes love feel safe. We also get concrete about how this shows up in real life: snapping a correction that carries irritation, spiralling about money and logistics, judging health choices, or building rigid protocols that create inner battles. Using an A Course in Miracles frame, we explore a simple practice: treat any upset or disturbance as a signal that the mind needs correction, not proof that the world is dangerous. That shift is not bypassing feelings. It is learning what feelings are actually for. From there we zoom out to bigger fear narratives including politics, rent, media programming, and the urge to “save the world.” The invitation is direct: you are sustained by the love of God, not by circumstances, and nothing outside you has power unless you give it power. We end with a way to live this without perfectionism by choosing “happy games” over fixing and letting everything you perceive become useful for returning to peace. If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who over-cares, and leave a review with the biggest place you're ready to drop concern.Support the show

Episode 47 — You Don't Have to Be Perfect to Be Loved A gentle reminder that the people who truly love you aren't looking for perfection — they're looking for you. In this episode, we explore where the myth of earning love through being "good enough" comes from, and how to start letting yourself be seen as you really are. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SHOW NOTES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS [00:00] Opening — You don't have to be perfect to be loved [01:10] Settling In — When was the last time you messed up and felt shame?

This episode gently dismantles that myth and explores how our perfectionism was actually a survival strategy that kept us safe but also kept us from being truly known. Through breathwork, affirmations, and honest reflection, we learn that real love doesn't require performance — it requires presence. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOST Your Quiet Moment — A gentle space for your heart to rest. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TOPICS • Perfectionism and self-worth • Conditional vs unconditional love • Vulnerability and authentic connection • Letting go of performance • Self-compassion and grace • Breathing through shame • Being seen as you truly are ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If this episode spoke to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

What does it truly mean to make a promise that cannot be broken? In the opening broadcast of this powerful weekly series, hosts Shelley and June Volk dive deep into a word that is often missing from our modern vocabulary but remains central to the heart of Scripture: Covenant. While our 21st-century world treats agreements as disposable contracts easily dissolved by civil courts, June breaks down the ancient, biblical definition of a covenant. Unlike human contracts, God’s covenants are deeply personal, historically sealed with sacrifice, and carry no expiration date. Together, Shelley and June challenge a widespread modern doctrine, reaffirming that God has never turned His back on Israel, and outline how both Jewish and Gentile believers participate in His grand redemption plan. Key Takeaways from this Episode: Contract vs. Covenant: A look at the 6 distinct differences between a legal contract and a spiritual covenant that binds two parties together personally. The Conditional vs. Unconditional: Why ancient biblical covenants rely entirely on the unwavering faithfulness of God rather than human performance. A Covenant-Keeping God: Addressing the false doctrine of replacement theology, confirming that God's promises are uniquely tied to Israel and fulfilled through the Messiah. The Sons and Daughters of Issachar: A call for modern believers to gain spiritual discernment, understand the prophetic times we live in, and know what to do. One New Man: How entering into God's covenant structure breaks down walls and brings a true spirit of unity between Jew and Gentile under the Messiah, Yeshua. Scripture References & Study Links: Prophetic Insight: 1 Chronicles 12:32 (KJV) — The sons of Issachar, who had understanding of the times.

What if the voice urging you to binge isn't really you — and you could learn to talk back to it? This week, Dr. Vera Tarman sits down with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston, whose unconventional path from Fortune 500 food industry consultant to food compulsion researcher led him to develop one of the most distinctive frameworks in recovery: Never Binge Again. Glenn shares how his own 80-pound weight loss journey — and nearly 2,000 clients later — shaped a method built on structured food rules, cognitive refutation, and understanding the neuroscience of cravings extinction. In This Episode: Why Glenn left lucrative food industry work and what he saw from the inside about how hyperpalatable foods are engineered The "inner pig" framework — and why separating from the voice that drives bingeing is the foundation of his approach How his self-funded study of 40,000 people shaped his thinking (and why the results surprised him) The four food rule categories: Never, Always, Conditional, and Unrestricted Why 1 in 3 people genuinely need abstinence — and how to tell if you're one of them The extinction burst: why cravings often get worse before they disappear (and why this is actually good news) The "screw it, just do it" response — what causes it and how to address it with self-regulation Commit with perfection, forgive with dignity — how to handle slips without derailing recovery Abstinence vs. moderation: where Glenn agrees with food addiction models, and where his philosophy diverges His take on GLP-1 medications and how they fit into the bigger picture The difference between his original Never Binge Again and his newer book Defeat Your Cravings Resources Mentioned:

Within traditional educational and parenting paradigms, behaviorist strategies such as token economies, behavior color charts, and positive reinforcement models are frequently treated as standard mechanisms for human development. However, these compliance-driven metrics often collapse under long-term evaluation, obscuring the critical psychological friction they introduce. Alfie Kohn, a prominent educational theorist and author of Punished by Rewards, joins the program to systematically critique the reliance on traditional behavioral modification systems, including school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). Emily and Alfie break down the critical neurodivergent intersections of these models, explore the hidden psychological cost of praise, and discuss ways of shifting focus away from surface-level behavior modification and toward the collaborative cultivation of student-led problem-solving. TAKEAWAYS Behaviorist interventions like rewards and punishments function as temporary methods of external control rather than sustainable catalysts for authentic development. Extrinsic rewards actively diminish intrinsic motivation by shifting focus away from the task itself and toward the acquisition of the reward. Conditional rewards and continuous verbal praise implicitly communicates that fundamental human worth is tethered to performance and utility. Applied behavioral modification techniques often target observable surface actions while systematically ignoring the underlying physical, emotional, and sensory needs driving those behaviors. Cultivating a child's authentic self-regulation requires shifting from unilateral adult control to active, collaborative decision-making processes.

James Brierton and Greg Fishel sat down for a fascinating chat with Evan Bentley, the Warning Coordination Meteorologist at NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC). If you've looked at the SPC severe weather maps recently, you might have noticed some big visual updates.The SPC has officially rolled out its new Conditional Intensity Groups (CIGs)—often referred to as "Intensity Levels"—to Day 1, 2, and 3 convective outlooks.Here is a quick look behind the scenes at what this change means and what James, Greg, and Evan discussed to keep you ahead of the storm:

Richard Epstein examines the 14th Amendment's opening clause, distinguishing the robust rights of citizens from the conditional privileges of aliens. He argues that naturalization was historically a federal prerogative, noting that early statutes, influenced by Thomas Jefferson, included explicit racial exclusions for persons of African or Asian descent.18751

(00:00) — Pre-k graduation and "I want to be a baby doctor": Where the idea of medicine first appeared for Riya.(01:07) — Seventh-grade biology and Hashimoto's thyroiditis: The classroom moment that made medicine feel like a real possibility.(02:24) — Hospital volunteering in high school: First clinical exposure, patient interaction, and what sparked genuine interest.(04:57) — Discovering combined BSMD and BSDO programs: How Riya and her mom researched programs in eleventh grade and decided to pursue them.(06:45) — Reflecting on the accelerated path: Whether finishing undergrad in three years meant missing out.(07:15) — The MCAT decision: Why avoiding the MCAT was a meaningful factor in choosing a program.(09:12) — Applying to 23 schools: The breakdown of combined versus traditional applications and getting into four programs.(10:05) — Choosing between programs: Family proximity, location, and the DO philosophy as deciding factors.(10:54) — Why DO over MD: What the osteopathic mind-body-spirit philosophy and hands-on technique meant to her personally.(12:22) — Conditional acceptance pressure in undergrad: Carrying valedictorian stress into a three-year sprint.(13:42) — The hardest semester: o-chem, biochem, and anatomy simultaneously with three concurrent labs.(14:45) — Physical planners and time management: How Riya stayed on top of classes, tutoring, and two research projects.(15:33) — Finding The Premed Years on a two-hour drive: How the podcast became part of her routine.(17:10) — Medical school versus premed undergrad: Why the schedule now feels more manageable.(19:14) — Finding your own study method: Why copying what works for others often backfires.(24:19) — Menstrual health app, a thousand-dollar prize, and a TikTok research project: How curiosity led to unexpected opportunities.(26:54) — Words for the stressed premed: Gratitude journals, getting back up, and holding on to small happy moments.Riya knew she wanted to be a doctor before she could fully explain what that meant. By eleventh grade she was researching combined BSDO and BSMD programs with her mom, and she eventually applied to around fifteen of them alongside traditional schools. She got into four combined programs and chose a three-plus-four DO pathway that let her stay near family during undergrad before moving states for medical school. The cost was real: she finished prerequisites in three years, took organic chemistry, biochemistry, and anatomy in the same semester with three concurrent labs, tutored classmates, and ran two research projects simultaneously. She also drove two hours home most weekends and, on those drives, found this podcast. Now in medical school and studying for Step, Riya reflects on choosing DO over MD, what the osteopathic philosophy genuinely gave her, and why she has no regrets about any of it. She talks honestly about the stress of a conditional acceptance, the trial and error of finding a study method that actually works, and how keeping a gratitude journal got her through a brutal first semester away from family.What You'll Learn:- How combined BSMD and BSDO programs work and what it actually takes to stay in one through undergrad.- Why one student chose a DO program over MD programs she was also accepted to, and what that decision has meant in practice.- How to manage an overwhelming premed course load using intentional time planning rather than sheer willpower.- Why finding your own study method matters more than copying the approaches that work for classmates.- How following genuine curiosity across research, hackathons, and extracurriculars can open doors that a straight-line approach would miss.

Most of the world believes that mankind is unconditionally immortal, persisting after death in the spirit realm in some way. But the bible tells us very differently, that immortality is conditional and dependent upon faith in Christ. Today we will see yet another important, biblical reason why this is the case. * 00:00 - Introduction* 05:48 - What is Conditional Immortality?* 41:01 - Refuting the Objection of Physicalism* 54:09 - The Spirit as the Source of Eternal Life* 1:15:09 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt delves into the hidden payoffs of caring about what others think of us. Drawing from her extensive experience in recovery, Brianne candidly explores the intricate relationship between our self-worth and external validation, revealing how this dynamic can lead to a cycle of anxiety and self-abandonment.Throughout the episode, Brianne breaks down the psychological mechanisms at play when we seek approval from others, highlighting the false sense of control it provides and the temporary safety it creates. She discusses how this behavior can distract us from our own internal work, ultimately leading to a loss of identity and clarity. Listeners will gain insight into the costs associated with this pattern, including the erosion of their true selves and the energy spent on managing perceptions.Brianne encourages listeners to loosen their grip on external validation and to start prioritizing their own thoughts and feelings. By learning to embrace discomfort and allowing themselves to be misunderstood, individuals can reclaim their voice and authenticity. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that true freedom comes from within, and that the opinions of others are often reflections of their own fears rather than accurate assessments of our worth.

What happens in the room when a therapist with Type 1 diabetes hears the same fear over and over, that everyone else has their numbers under control, and you're the only one who doesn't? Rob sits down with Christine Keown, a registered psychotherapist and T1D since age four, to have the conversation that doesn't get nearly enough airtime. Recorded right in the middle of the Diabetes and Mental Health Conference, this one covers a lot of ground and goes places most diabetes content never does. Christine shares what she calls her “meta-analysis” of her clients: the common threads she sees across every person with diabetes who walks through her door. The fear of judgment around numbers. A fractured sense of identity after diagnosis. The compounding spiral of healthcare avoidance. And high-functioning burnout, the kind that looks completely fine at work and only shows up at home. Rob opens up, sharing what a recent diabetes meditation retreat revealed to him about conditional joy, self-compassion, and why he's been sitting with the uncomfortable truth that he's not nearly as in control as he'd like to be. One of the standout moments is Christine's live demonstration of an ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) exercise using a literal piece of paper. The idea: we exhaust ourselves pushing our fears away. What if we just put them down instead? Rob couldn't stop laughing, and neither could we. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like they're failing at diabetes, quietly avoided the endocrinologist, or thought everyone else has it figured out except them. You're not alone. Not even a little bit. As Christine and Rob both land on: we're all just doing our best, every single day.

There are many times the Bible informs us of conditional blessings. These are places in Scripture where God says, “If you will, then I will.”  We need to pay attention to the conditional blessings listed in Scripture because there are quite a few of them.Main Points:1. Sometimes, as a father, I bless my children simply because I love them. I do things for them, I surprise them, and I'm generous with them for no reason at all but that it gives me joy. I'm confident God does this, too.2. We should also pay attention to the conditional blessings of God. Be watching for where the Word of God says, “If you will, then I will.”3. Meditate on this truth today: The obedient life is a blessed life.Today's Scripture Verses:Proverbs 16:20 - “Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.”Deuteronomy 28:1-2 - “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”Psalm 1:1-3 - “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
