Unforgiveness disrupts your ability to feel calm and keeps you stuck in a cycle of negative emotions, feelings, and thoughts about yourself or others. Notice, if you are feeling anxious, irritable, or unfulfilled for a period of time, it could be that unforgiveness and anxiety have partnered to disrupt your nervous system regulation. Perhaps you are striving to please people, feeling exhausted by the need to control, or living in a constant drive for perfection. Everyone sins, therefore everyone needs forgiveness. The connection between unforgiveness and anxiety. If we harbor unforgiveness in our hearts, whether toward ourselves or others, fear and shame grow. Anxiety is an abnormal sense of fear. And it is our nervous system's way of keeping us safe. So if anxiety is building, our nervous system is dysregulated, and therefore we are not able to access our pre-frontal cortex to make good, effective, meaningful decisions. In addition, shame results in fear and nervous system dysregulation. Nervous system dysregulation When the nervous system is dysregulated for long periods, it can manifest in your body and reduce overall well-being. First, your brain is operating from the limbic system and relying on fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses. Here's what happens in each state: Fight: You become irritated. Instead of responding to others or situations, you overreact. Overreaction leads to more shame, guilt, and disruption in relationships. Flight: You run, and avoid. Freeze: You feel stuck. Fawn: People-pleasing becomes part of your identity.

In this episode, Jim is joined by Confirmation teachers Jaylen Armstrong and Alfred Alipio-Jocson. They share their reflections for the readings from the First Sunday of Lent

Fr Brendan Quinlivan presents Beyond Belief for this Sunday. The programme tonight includes a reflection on Lent and the inclusion of the Pledge in Confirmation from Bishop Fintan. Peggy McInerney from Tulla Pioneers on the 25th Anniversary of the Matt Talbot Novena in Tulla and an invitation to consider sponsoring a sick/assisted pilgrim on the Killaloe pilgrimage.

L'existence de trous noirs supermassifs fugitifs, résultant de fusions de galaxies, est prédite depuis longtemps. Pour la première fois, en mars 2023, le télescope spatial Hubble avait donné un indice laissant penser qu'on en avait repéré un, avec l'existence d'une sorte de longue trainée de gaz choqué (voir nos épisodes 1469 et 1493). Aujourd'hui, l'équipe à l'origine de cette observation initiale a refait d'autres observations mais cette fois avec le télescope Webb. Les données confirment que cet objet se déplace à une vitesse supersonique dans le milieu intergalactique, perturbant le gaz diffus et créant un arc de choc. Les chercheurs estiment que cet objet est très probablement un trou noir supermassif, éjecté de sa galaxie et traversant le milieu intergalactique à grande vitesse. L'étude est à paraître dans The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Heather and Jonny confront two stories of mass shootings this week, one in Canada with a confirmed transgender assailant and one in Rhode Island with an alleged transgender shooter. They approach this difficult topic with a couple of key reminders: First, an inventory of their local organizations and meeting groups available to help people struggling to know that they have support and a community. Second, they review the crime statistics which have not changed significantly even if these are acts of violence by transgender people.Finally, they examine this phenomenon as something profoundly exacerbated by disconfirmations, interpersonal and institutional. They review an inventory of this week's LGBTQ+ disconfirmations.

In this episode, we sit down with the incredible Christian Bevere to talk all about what it looks like to pray for your future husband — before you even know his name. We dive deep into faith, singleness, and what it really means to contend in prayer for the love story God is writing. Christian shares her whirlwind love story, but more importantly, she walks us through how praying for her husband transformed her heart long before she walked down the aisle. We talk about awkward prayers, husband Bibles, singleness as a gift, and how to navigate dating in today's world without losing your peace or your standards. If you're single and waiting, dating and discerning, or even married and reflecting on how God moved in your story — this conversation will remind you that God hears every prayer, sees every tear, and is wildly intentional with your timeline.

There was a pickleball brawl in Florida with about 20 people involved. Logan Paul's Pokemon Pikachu Illustrator card sold for a record setting $16.49M.

Bishop Michael Router, Liaison Bishop with the Irish Bishops' Drugs Initiative

Along with no alcohol and no drugs, young people making their Confirmation pledges will now promise not to vape until they're 18 years old. For more on this Anton spoke to Bishop Michael Router of the Irish Bishop's Drug's.

We're entering Confirmation season! It has us wondering what is your Confirmation name and why did you choose it?

The pledge taken by children at confirmation has been updated to include abstinence from smoking and vaping, alongside drinking and using illicit drugs.The change follows a sharp increase in young people smoking and vaping, which the church described as a “thoughtful and prayerful response to the lived realities of young people today.”Andrea is joined by listeners to discuss.

Dante Lauretta explains how after a 2007 rejection he refined the science objectives, coining the name OSIRIS-REx, then assumed leadership after Mike Drake's passing and guided the team through a critical 2014 confirmation review to secure NASA approval.

Confirmation- Bailey Acts 1:1-8 Matthew 9:35-38

In the first part of this two-episode series on trusting the Church, Greg walks listeners through the solemn Profession of Faith that candidates make when entering full communion with the Catholic Church—usually right before Confirmation at the Easter Vigil or a regular Mass. He explains the exact words spoken (“I believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches, and proclaims to be revealed by God”) and why this public, sacramental vow carries the weight of a marriage promise. Using a four-level hierarchy of Church teaching drawn from the Catechism and magisterial documents, Greg shows what requires full, irrevocable assent and where there is room for honest questions and growth during OCIA formation. This episode is especially for those in OCIA, those considering the step, or anyone wondering how a convert can truthfully say “yes” to the fullness of Catholic doctrine. Perfect for Protestant investigators wrestling with authority and for cradle Catholics wanting to renew their own understanding of the faith they profess.

On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro concludes our study on the Miracles and Teaching of Jesus by exploring the differences between those who belong to the family of God and those who are living in darkness.

We live in a culture where harsh, extreme, unkind rhetoric is common and often applauded. But this shouldn't characterize followers of Jesus Christ. On this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro discusses key attributes that will help us know whether we're living in the light, or contributing to the darkness.

Thirty-eight years ago, Archbishop Lefebvre performed the heroic act of consecrating four bishops without papal mandate. Because of that act:The movement of traditional Catholicism has been able to grow and thrive in the past four decades.Countless souls have been able to receive the traditional and authentic teaching of the Church and worship at the Mass of all time.Other traditional communities, like the FSSP and the ICK, have been allowed to exist.Many, many souls have been saved.This past week, our Superior General, Fr. Davide Pagliarani, announced that the SSPX plans to repeat this act of its founder. New bishops will be consecrated this coming July 1, even though we have not received permission from Rome to do so.This is a huge event in the life of the Church, and will have enormous consequences.In this sermon, I want to explain two things: why this act is necessary, and why it is justified.Why it is necessaryThese consecrations are necessary because first of all because we have a duty to Holy Mother Church, to her spirit and her traditions. We do not want to abandon our Mother in this time of her greatest trial. On the contrary, we want to do all that we can to support her and sustain her.By the Providence of God, the life of Tradition in the Church today lives and dies with the Society of St. Pius X. These consecrations are necessary for the continuation of Tradition.Secondly, we need to do these consecrations for your sake, my dear faithful, for you faithful who have come to us in the midst of this crisis, who have asked the SSPX, “Please, give me the traditional catechism, give me the traditional sacraments, give me a traditional Catholic community.” The SSPX takes care of hundreds of thousands of souls around the world and, if it does not consecrate bishops, it will not be able to continue this work.The SSPX was established for the formation of good Catholic priests. But priests cannot be ordained without bishops. Only bishops can make priests.Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops for the SSPX in 1988. Since then, two of the bishops have died and the other two are in their late 60s. The two bishops who remain are traveling around the world in order to administer the sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Orders. They have been keeping up this insane rate of travel for 38 years.It is clear that, if the SSPX does not provide new bishops for itself soon, its work will not be able to continue.Think about St. Isidore's. We have been having this capital campaign and the faithful have been so generous contributing to it. For what purpose? So that our church can stand the test of time, so that this community can flourish. But without these consecrations, it would not be able to exist one day.Without these consecrations, all of the work of the SSPX around the world would ultimately have to cease. The SSPX currently has about 1500 members, between its priests, brothers, and nuns; it is located in 77 countries and it has almost 800 Mass locations. Between the SSPX and the religious communities associated with it, there are 140 schools in the world. All this would go away without bishops. The hundreds of thousands of faithful would have to find somewhere else to go.

In this episode of ⁠The Tarot Diagnosis⁠, I explore a concept called “poisoning the well” and how it can inconspicuously shape the way we interpret tarot, often before we've even given the cards a fair chance to speak, or ourselves an opportunity to be curious about the card. Poisoning the well can happen when we learn to fear a card before encountering it in its specific context, which makes anything that follows feel threatening, prophetic, or untrustworthy.In tarot, this shows up when cards like The Tower, Death, The Devil, or the Three of Swords are immediately labeled as “bad” or “painful,” which shuts down curiosity, nuance, and the ability to experience deeper reflection.I walk through the three psychological patterns that tend to fuel this kind of tarot bias:First impressions: Where early fear-based meanings stick even when a card's position or context suggests something more layered, or not so literal (e.g. Death).Confirmation bias:  Where we unconsciously look for evidence that supports our fear while ignoring nuance or other contextual factors in a spread.Emotional reasoning: Where anxiety or discomfort becomes “proof” that something bad is going to happen, rather than just useful data about what the card is activating in us. From there, I explore how poisoning the tarot well reduces a card's meaning, turns tarot into rigid labels instead of reflective tools, and leads to avoidance behaviors like reshuffling, pulling endless clarifiers, or abandoning readings altogether. While these reactions may feel protective in the moment, they ultimately reinforce fear and limit growth. Many of the cards we fear most are the ones pointing directly toward the work we need to do: attachment patterns, boundaries, grief, shame, power dynamics, necessary endings, etc.I also share a personal story (aka I talk about reading for my very religious sister) about how religious and cultural conditioning can shape tarot fears - poisoning the tarot well, and how rigid narratives around certain cards can feel genuinely destabilizing if they're never questioned. From there, I offer concrete ways to un-poison your tarot well, including identifying where your card meanings came from, working with somatic reactions instead of avoiding them, asking more specific and grounded questions, and expanding your language around difficult cards through techniques like free association.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to let tarot challenge you. When we stop deciding what a card means before we pull it and get curious about it instead, tarot becomes what it's meant to be: a mirror, an opportunity for philosophical dialogue, and a tool for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. I love when you all leave comments on Spotify or YouTube about your own thoughts on the topic discussed - so let me know your thoughts!

The episode everyone has been waiting for is finally here.In this conversation, I sit down with Addison Andrix, Bethany's newly hired Coordinator of Confirmation, High School, and Young Adult Ministry.Addison shares his story and what brings him to Bethany Lutheran Church. Addison grew up Lutheran in Minnesota and stayed connected to church through high school. And as most college kids he drifted a bit before finding his way back and rediscovering a deeper relationship with God through prayer, rest, Scripture, and community. During this conversation we talk about:Growing up with faith as routine and stabilityHow ministry can quietly turn into a jobThe difference between religious participation and a relationship with GodWhy pray isn't magic, but it does reorient usGrace vs. performance (and why God isn't keeping score)What Sabbath can teach us about the freedom to stop pretending we're in controlWhy unconditional love is both central to faith and incredibly hard to live outThis conversation is more than meeting Addison, it's about grace, burnout, trust and learning to navigate faith in real life.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian activists call for self-defense measures for Christians In the middle of the night, Islamic Fulani militias brutally killed seven Nigerian Christian men in a coordinated attack on a mining site in the Plateau State, reports International Christian Concern. The incident has reignited long-standing fears of targeted violence against Christian communities and intensified calls for lawful self-defense amid persistent insecurity. Military sources confirmed that the attack occurred at about 1 a.m. last Thursday when Islamic Fulani militias stormed the site, opening fire on miners who had remained overnight. At the graveside, grief gave way to anger, frustration, and an unmistakable sense of abandonment. Weeping relatives and neighbors spoke of fathers and sons lost — not in open combat, but while struggling to survive in an economy that has pushed many into mining at night which has been banned. Human rights advocate Alex Barbir said, “This is no longer just about illegal mining. It is about our people being hunted in the night, killed without mercy, and buried without justice. How long do we continue to die quietly?” He argued that communities must be empowered to defend themselves where the state has repeatedly failed to provide adequate security. Rev. Dachomo agreed, saying, “We preach peace, but peace must not mean surrender to slaughter.  The right to life is sacred, and protecting that life is not a crime.” Anglican pastor protests confirmation of woke female Archbishop of Canterbury The formal confirmation of Sarah Mullally as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury was interrupted when a bold pastor publicly objected and was forcibly removed from the service, reports LifeSiteNews.com. On Wednesday, during the Confirmation of Election service for Sarah Mullally at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, Anglican pastor Paul Williamson stood up and shouted his objection after the officiant falsely declared that no opposition had been presented, leading to his restraint and removal from the cathedral by security personnel. Listen. OFFICIANT: “Endorsed on this mandate is a certificate which verifies that public notice was duly given as required and that no person has appeared in opposition to the confirmation.” WILLIAMSON: “I did!” (rest of audio undiscernible) Williamson claimed he was "nearly pushed down the stairs" outside by "four heavies" during his removal from the cathedral on Wednesday. Williamson's protest highlighted ongoing divisions over Mullally's appointment within the Anglican Communion, which has been fracturing for years over sexuality and gender.  1 Corinthians 14:24 says, “Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.” On January 26, 2015, during the consecration service at York Minster for Libby Lane, who was to become the Church of England's first female bishop, Williamson was the lone dissenting voice when the gathered clergy were asked whether she should be ordained. And, in 2005, Williamson protested against the legality of the marriage of Charles, Prince of Wales to Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, reported The Guardian. Trump warns Iran 'time is running out' as US military builds up in Gulf President Donald Trump has warned Iran that "time is running out" to negotiate a deal on its nuclear program following the steady build-up of US military forces in the Gulf, reports the British Broadcasting Corporation. The US president said a "massive Armada" was "moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose" towards Iran, referring to a large US naval fleet. In response, Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said the country's armed forces were ready "with their fingers on the trigger" to "immediately and powerfully respond" to any aggression by land or sea. Trump's latest warning follows his promise that Washington will intervene to help those involved in the brutal and unprecedented crackdown on protests in the country earlier this month. Demonstrations began after a sharp fall in the value of the Iranian currency, but swiftly evolved into a crisis of legitimacy for the country's clerical leadership of the Islamic regime. Apple cider vinegar was sprayed on Rep. Ilhan Omar A man accused of attacking Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a Somali-American, during a town hall event on Tuesday reportedly sprayed apple cider vinegar on her, reports Fox News. Anthony James Kazmierczak, age 55, was seen on video lunging at Congresswoman Omar while spraying an unknown substance on her shirt out of a syringe. Right before the attack, Omar called for the resignation or impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, following two fatal shootings involving federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis. Listen to the lead up to the attack. OMAR: “DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign or face impeachment.” (audio of attack) At the time of the attack, Kazmierczak said, “She's not resigning. You're splitting Minnesotans apart,” according to The Western Journal. Man paints over heretical billboard to read 'Jesus is God' A viral video shows a man painting over a heretical billboard campaign in California, altering the message to read, “The Bible says … Jesus is ___ God,” reports The Christian Post. The undated video shows an unidentified man atop a billboard platform with the Los Angeles skyline behind it as he paints over the word “Not” in the ad which had initially stated “Jesus is Not God”, transforming the billboard into a proclamation of faith.  World's Last Chance, the group behind the billboard, claims the message is part of “four billboard themes that dare to shatter the chains of long-held misconceptions.” In addition to the Jesus billboard, which adds the text, “Jesus did not pre-exist in Heaven,” the group's website lists three others, including one that attacks Trinitarian theology and another promoting the so-called “flat earth” theory. In addition to the billboard campaign, the World's Last Chance website features several videos purportedly “debunking” the deity of Jesus and the Trinity.  The billboard campaign has been reportedly spotted in California, Georgia, and other states. In a January 21st video, author and Living Waters founder and CEO Ray Comfort responded to the billboard remodeling job with a stark warning about the impact of false teaching in the public square. Listen. COMFORT: “These signs have been erected by a strange sect that claims to believe the Scriptures, yet openly denies the deity of Christ -- a contradiction the Bible doesn't permit. “Scripture plainly teaches that God was manifest in the flesh [1 Timothy 3:16] and that Jesus Christ is ‘the image of the invisible God' [Colossians 1:15] and ‘the express image of His person.' [Hebrews 1:3] Jesus Himself said, ‘I came down from Heaven,' [John 6:38] and ‘Before Abraham was, I am' [John 8:58], a direct claim to deity that His hearers understood clearly. “He is not merely a moral teacher or a created being, but the Creator Himself. ‘For all things were made through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made.' [John 1:3] The Bible warns that any teaching that denies the Son is not from God.  ‘Who is a liar? He that denies that Jesus is the Christ, he is the Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.' [1 John 2:22]. This is the spirit of antichrist, which John says was already active in his day and continues now.” [1 John 4:2-3] Updated link to children's book on Martin Luther's wife And finally, yesterday, as we noted the 427th anniversary of the birthday of Martin Luther's wife, Katherine von Bora, I referenced a beautifully illustrated children's book entitled Katharine von Bora: The Morning Star of Wittenberg. Written by twins Jenna and Shanna Strackbein, I initially linked to Amazon if you wanted to purchase it.  However, because they have not restocked the book, you can get a copy through Generations. Scott Brown, Director of Church and Family Life, wrote, “When I read it to my grandchildren, I choked up a few times encountering the beauty of marriage and the wonderful way Katy served the Lord in her generation. Now she was inspiring the rising generation of my own family. What a blessing!"

This study challenges long-held assumptions and uses seismic wave data to illustrate how these large low velocity provinces differ in density and material, impacting the planet's heat extraction from the core and potentially affecting the stability of Earth's magnetic field.Confirmation of Mars as a Blue PlanetNew evidence from ancient Martian river deltas suggests that Mars was once covered by a vast ocean. High-resolution images reveal delta-like structures, indicating that water once flowed into an ocean approximately 3 billion years ago. This discovery supports the notion of a once habitable environment on Mars, offering insights into its geological history and the potential for life.Galaxies Growing Through Cool Gas FilamentsA fascinating new study has demonstrated how galaxies can rapidly grow by drawing in filaments of cool gas. Observations from the Keck Telescope's Cosmic Webb Imager provide direct evidence of these gas streams spiraling into galaxies, fueling star formation at unprecedented rates. This research offers significant insights into the processes of galaxy formation and the role of the cosmic web in shaping the universe.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesScientific ReportsMPJ Space ExplorationNature AstronomyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.(00:00:00) Distinct histories of Earth's mantle provinces(00:12:15) Mars confirmed as a blue planet with ancient ocean(00:25:30) Galaxies grow rapidly through cool gas filaments(00:35:00) Discovery of the oldest known rock art in the world.

Lucille Butterworth went missing in Tasmania in 1969, and Australians were shocked to learn decades later that someone confessed to her murder just 7 years after her disappearance. Confirmation bias, tunnel vision, and poor police procedures so damaged this case that even a confession was not enough to close it. This case is *unsolved*If you know anything about the disappearance of Lucille Butterworth, you can contact the Tasmania Police at 131 444 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 333 000.Support the show!Get the exclusive show Beyond the Files plus Crimelines episodes ad free onSupercast: https://crimelines.supercast.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/crimelinesApple Subscriptions: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crimelines-true-crime/id1112004494 For one time support:https://www.basementfortproductions.com/supportLinks to all my socials and more:https://linktr.ee/crimelinesSources:2026 Crimelines Podcast Source ListTranscript: https://app.podscribe.ai/series/3790If an exact transcript is needed, please request at crimelinespodcast@gmail.com Licensing and credits:Theme music by Scott Buckley https://www.scottbuckley.com.au/Cover Art by Lars Hacking from Rusty HingesCrimelines is a registered trademark of Crimelines LLC.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
