Peace the World Can't Give: The Promise of the Holy Spirit – John 14:15–31 In Episode 150 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane finish John 14 with one of Jesus' greatest promises: we will never have to walk alone. As Jesus prepares His disciples for His departure, He promises the coming of the Holy Spirit—the Advocate, Helper, and Teacher who will remain with them and remind them of everything Jesus has taught. Then, in the middle of uncertainty about what comes next, Jesus gives them something the world cannot manufacture: His peace. Together, Jamie and Jane explore what it means to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives, how love for Jesus shapes our obedience, and the difference between temporary peace based on circumstances and the lasting peace that comes from Christ. Jesus never promised His followers a life without trouble, questions, or uncertainty. He promised something better: His presence in the middle of it. If your heart has been anxious, overwhelmed, or searching for peace, pull up a chair. John 14 reminds us that we have a Helper, we have His presence, and we have a peace the world cannot give. Reflection Question: Am I looking to my circumstances to give me peace—or am I learning to receive the peace Jesus has already given me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Through strategic volunteering, networking, and workforce development leadership, she became passionate about helping military spouses recognize their value and confidently pursue meaningful opportunities.But she realized military spouses needed more than job resources alone. They needed connection, belonging, and access to opportunities that could grow with them wherever military life led next.​So she built Community Cultivator.​What started as a vision in San Diego is growing into a nationwide movement helping military spouses build stronger careers, deeper connections, and lasting opportunities together.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeCommunity Cultivator WebsiteForeign Born Military Spouse NetworkSugar Bear Foundation WebsitePsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course 15 Reasons to Hire a Military Spouse.

Josh and Emily continue their discussion of the Financial Counseling textbook by Durband, Law, and Mazzolini. This episode focuses on Chapter 5, exploring how self‑awareness shapes the effectiveness of financial counselors, emphasizing the need for professionals to understand their own traits, biases, past experiences, and emotional triggers. The hosts discuss how counselor self‑awareness influences client relationships, goal‑setting, and the ability to adapt plans, while highlighting tools like transference awareness, cognitive bias recognition, and reflective practice.Top takeaways: Self‑confidence can be both a strength and a blind spot, often reducing a counselor's tendency to self‑question. Flexibility is essential—rigid, book‑based systems (e.g., Ramsey‑style plans) fail to meet clients where they are. Emotional bonds require vulnerability with boundaries, balancing empathy with professionalism. Mutual agreement on goals is critical to success; when counselors impose their own priorities or values, the goal will likely not be achieved. Understanding personality theory strengthens counselor self‑awareness, helping professionals recognize how their traits, past experiences, and default reactions shape client interactions. Transference and counter‑transference shape client interactions, especially around emotionally charged topics like debt. Cognitive biases distort judgment, making ongoing self‑reflection critical for accurate decision-making. Past experiences shouldn't become default recommendations; what worked for the counselor may not fit the client's situation. Self‑awareness practices matter: seek feedback, record and review sessions (with client permission), track session participation, work underneath or with other coaches, track recommendation success, and watch yourself for auto‑recommendations. Money history questions can deepen understanding of yourself. Self‑care supports counselor effectiveness, improving emotional presence and reducing reactivity. Chapter 5 of Financial Counseling reinforces that self‑awareness is not optional—it's foundational. Counselors who understand their own biases, triggers, and histories are better equipped to build trust, personalize guidance, and support clients with clarity and compassion.Want help building or growing a successful financial coaching business?

We know we are called to parent in the power of the Holy Spirit, but then life comes at us like a train and suddenly we are back to doing everything in our own strength. I know I can easily fall into this trap. I can know all the right things, but knowing the truth and actually relying on the Holy Spirit in the middle of motherhood are two very different things.In this top 10 episode, I talk with Jeannie Cunnion about what it really looks like to parent with the Holy Spirit. We start by taking an honest look at what we actually believe about Him. Do I truly trust that the Holy Spirit lives in me and wants to guide, strengthen, comfort, and help me? Jeannie reminds us that the Holy Spirit is not an "it." He is a person, our Helper, Advocate, Counselor, Comforter, and Champion.We talk about what it means to lean into His presence instead of constantly trying to figure everything out on our own. We are not parenting alone. God has graciously given us the Holy Spirit, and there is no part of the Christian life that is meant to be lived without His supernatural power.As moms, we have an incredible opportunity to be a gift to one another. We can encourage each other, pray for each other, and help carry one another when we feel like we can't keep going. We don't have to manufacture the fruit of the Spirit through our own effort. We can stay connected to God and allow His Spirit to produce His fruit in us.If you have ever felt overwhelmed by motherhood or wondered how you're supposed to keep going, I hope this conversation reminds you that you were never meant to parent alone.In this episode, we talk about: What it means to parent in the power of the Holy Spirit Taking an honest look at what we believe about the Holy Spirit Learning to recognize the Holy Spirit's promptings What it means to be the temple of the Holy Spirit Feeding the Spirit instead of feeding the flesh Why there is no "junior Holy Spirit" when it comes to our kids Connect with Jeannie Cunnion:  Website: Jeannie Cunnion  Instagram: Jeannie Cunnion (@jeanniecunnion) Links Mentioned:  Never Alone By Jeannie Cunnion Forgotten God: By Francis Chan Mom Set Free: By Jeannie Cunnion Don't Miss Out: By  Jeannie Cunnion The Jesus Storybook Bible: By Sally Lloyd-Jones Related Episodes: Cultivating Intimacy with God in Motherhood :: Jeannie Cunnion [Ep 490] Set Free From Shame :: Jeannie Cunnion [Ep 190]  Anchoring Our Kids' Lovability in Christ :: Jeannie Cunnion {Ep 91}  Featured Sponsors: Thrive Causemetics: Amplify your look with Thrive Causemetics.

In this episode Paul Krauss MA LPC explores Mindfulness Based Somatic Emotional Processing  (MBSEP)with the creators Robert Weisz, PhD, and Daniel Blackwood, MA. Together they explore why feeling our emotions in the body is central to psychological health, trauma recovery, and everyday well being. The discussion continues with how emotions are not just "thoughts about feelings" but lived, somatic experiences that shape our nervous systems and sense of self. They discuss why resisting painful emotions often increases suffering, how compassionate, mindful attention can transform states like anxiety, anger, and grief, and why learning to be present with emotional sensations in the body opens a path toward integration, resilience, and more authentic living. The conversation centers on MBSEP as a simple, natural protocol that combines mindfulness and somatic perception to regulate emotions and process unprocessed traumas stored in the body. Weisz and Blackwood describe practical steps-such as breathwork, resourcing, felt-sense awareness, and remaining compassionately present with bodily sensations-that foster neuroplasticity and help create new, healing neural linkages in the brain and nervous system. They also explore how MBSEP can be integrated with other therapeutic modalities, why making room for the "struggle factor" is essential, and how this approach reveals hidden truths within our feelings so that emotions move from overwhelming states into experiences we can process, understand, and use for growth. Robert Weisz, PhD, developer of MBSEP, is a retired clinical psychologist with more than 50 years of experience whose work has been shaped by decades of learning and healing with shamans in Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil; he lives near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Daniel Blackwood, MA, has practiced MBSEP for over 10 years, is founder and director of The Evolution Group, Inc., a behavioral health organization based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is also the author of Integrity Recovery.

The controversy over Prince Andrew's position as a Counsellor of State came from the gap between what the law still allowed him to do and what the Royal Family said would happen in practice. Counsellors of State are senior royals who can be authorized to carry out certain constitutional duties for the monarch when the King is abroad or temporarily unable to act. Even after Andrew stepped back from public duties, lost the use of his HRH style and later had his remaining titles and honours stripped from official use, he technically remained eligible to serve as a Counsellor of State because that status was tied to his place in the line of succession and the statutory framework governing the role. Parliament addressed concerns about the pool of available counsellors in 2022 by adding Princess Anne and Prince Edward, but it did not formally remove Andrew. The government's position was that only working members of the Royal Family would actually be called upon, meaning Andrew remained on the books but was effectively frozen out.That arrangement became increasingly awkward as scrutiny of Andrew's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein intensified. Critics argued that it made little constitutional sense for someone who had been stripped of royal responsibilities and sidelined from public life to retain, even theoretically, the ability to exercise functions on behalf of the King. The issue became even more pronounced after further action was taken against Andrew's titles and after renewed calls emerged to remove him from the line of succession altogether. Yet formally changing his Counsellor of State status would require legislative action rather than simply a palace announcement, and the government repeatedly resisted reopening the law, relying instead on the assurance that Andrew would never actually be asked to act. The result was an unusually uncomfortable compromise: Andrew retained a constitutional office in theory while being considered completely unusable in practice, a situation that critics saw as another example of the monarchy and government avoiding a clean legal break with him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of Life Lived Better, Joseph and Paula explore one of the most promising and controversial developments in addiction and mental health treatment: psychedelic-assisted therapy. They examine the history and emerging science behind psilocybin, MDMA, ibogaine, and ayahuasca, discussing what researchers are learning about their potential to address addiction, trauma, depression, and other behavioral health concerns. Special attention is given to ibogaine, including its unusual history in addiction treatment, potential effects on withdrawal and cravings, and the serious medical risks that make careful screening and supervision essential.Rather than presenting psychedelics as miracle treatments or dismissing them because of their controversial history the episode focuses on what the evidence actually tells us. Our co-hosts explain the important differences between carefully controlled clinical research and underground treatment settings, who may not be appropriate candidates for these therapies, and why preparation, medical oversight, therapy, and follow-up matter. Ultimately, they consider whether psychedelic-assisted therapies could someday become another evidence-based pathway to recovery while emphasizing a central message: good clinical practice requires curiosity, caution, and a willingness to follow the evidence wherever it leads.Questions?

"It's about knowing your limits, knowing where you are energy-wise, time-wise, resource-wise, and just doing what you can — and knowing that is enough, and that is making a difference." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and Neighborhood Cats TNR Certification Workshop. Jen Blough returns to the podcast after nearly a decade away — she was featured in the show's first fifty episodes — to talk about the work she's built in the years since: helping animal welfare professionals name and navigate the emotional toll of the field. A licensed professional counselor, former shelter worker and animal control officer, and lifelong animal advocate, Jen didn't set out to specialize in compassion fatigue. She backed into it in grad school, when a professor described the symptoms of secondary traumatic stress and she realized he was describing her own life. Much of the conversation is spent untangling terms that get used interchangeably but aren't the same thing. Jen breaks down compassion fatigue as the combination of burnout (which comes from your environment — under-resourced organizations, systemic failures, day-to-day friction) and secondary traumatic stress (which comes from absorbing someone else's trauma, human or animal). She walks through how moral distress and moral injury fit in — the no-good-options decisions that TNR caregivers and shelter workers face constantly — and why none of these, despite how real they feel, show up in the DSM. The back half of the conversation turns to grief, and this is where the discussion gets specific to community cat work. Jen introduces two concepts: disenfranchised grief (loss that society doesn't validate, which often includes animal loss) and ambiguous loss (grief without closure — not knowing what happened to a cat who stops showing up at a colony). Stacy and Jen talk through the real tension caregivers face around outdoor cats aging out of a colony, and how organizations can handle transparency with volunteers about euthanasia and loss without either traumatizing them or leaving them in the dark. Jen closes with practical advice on knowing your limits and recognizing that showing up in smaller ways — a donation, a shared post, a bag of food — still counts as meaningful advocacy. Press Play Now For: The real difference between burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, moral distress, and moral injury Why compassion fatigue isn't a diagnosable condition, and how it can fluctuate day to day Disenfranchised grief and why animal loss so often gets dismissed by people outside the field Ambiguous loss — the particular grief of not knowing what happened to a cat who never returns to the feeding station How organizations can navigate telling (or not telling) volunteers about euthanasia and cat loss Jen's advice for recognizing your capacity and letting "not right now" be an acceptable answer A first look at Jen's forthcoming book and new certification program for animal welfare professionals Resources & Links Jen Blough's website Beyond Compassion Fatigue: Trauma, Resilience, and Recovery in Animal Care and Advocacy — pre-order To Save a Starfish: A Compassion Fatigue Workbook for the Animal Welfare Warrior Beyond Compassion Fatigue podcast

Proverbs 18:2 describes the next form of pride we're tackling–know-it-all pride. It says, “A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own mind.” You don't have to know everything to be a know-it-all—you just have to believe you have all the answers. This pride is easy to spot in others, but could we be displaying it without realizing it? We'll explore why know-it-all pride is so appealing, whether anything good can come from it, and how it can become entangled with sexual sin.   Resources we mentioned: How to Minister to Christians in Sexual Sin (Seminar for Pastors and Counselors) i: The Root of Sin Exposed (Book) By Steve Gallagher   Have Any Questions for Us?

Today's show confronts hard-hitting allegations surrounding government transparency, electronic voting security, and suspicious high-profile deaths. We dive headfirst into newly referenced FOIA documents, Dominion system log files, and public commentary asserting that critical voting infrastructure across the nation remains dangerously vulnerable—demonstrated by everything from viral online claims to mock election breaches. Host Joe cuts through the establishment's deflection, connecting these systemic security flaws directly to a broader narrative of institutional gaslighting and total public distrust. We also examine the sudden passing of 36-year-old actress Hayden Panettiere in South Carolina, revisiting her past harrowing accounts of Hollywood exploitation and the lingering, uncomfortable questions that law enforcement investigations frequently leave behind.Pastor, Counselor, and BOND president Jesse Lee Peterson joins the program to break down the roots of modern cultural decay, victimhood culture, and spiritual leadership. Growing up in Jim Crow-era Alabama before moving to Los Angeles, Peterson shares his personal awakening at age 38 that led him to confront internal anger and establish his core mission: "Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man." We examine the catastrophic collapse of public order in American cities—highlighted by unpunished lawlessness, street takeovers, and ideological extremism—and discuss how a steadfast commitment to personal responsibility, spiritual maturity, and uncompromising truth remains the only real antidote to a collapsing society.Finally, Joe tracks the escalating online war within political and alternative media circles, centered around Candace Owens, Andrew Wilson, and the ongoing fallout from Charlie Kirk's inner circle. From dramatic debate claims involving alleged private messages to Alex Jones entering the fray, we unpack the infighting, corporate control, and high-stakes narratives tearing through conservative media infrastructure. Joe breaks down the underlying motives, the weaponization of allegations, and why the establishment thrives when the public remains perpetually distracted.

Every relationship faces rupture — but the skill of repair is getting lost. Counselor and author Debra Fileta joins Dave and Ashley to talk about her new book People Skills and why loving difficult people well is one of the most important things we can do. She unpacks the rise of "cut-off culture," why we're too quick to label people narcissists, how to set boundaries that actually invite health, and the four levels of conversation that determine whether you feel truly connected in your marriage. Whether it's a spouse, a family member, or a coworker, this episode will help you love the difficult people in your life the way God loves us. Listener question: I feel like a roommate with my wife! Married 20 years with a 16, 14 and 9 year old and feeling emotionally, spiritually and physically disconnected. I've been patient since having kids spending years alone in the bedroom while she nursed, hoping our relationship would strengthen as the kids got older but it hasn't. We've talked a few times and I've shared books, podcasts, date night lists but can't get her to prioritize us. I'm slowly giving up and finding peace in solitude but am worried we're headed to a place where we can't come back from, and shared that worry. Any ideas on next steps?
