THE CREATIVE POWER OF THE WORD OF GOD
In this episode of Book Club with Michael Smerconish, Michael speaks with psychiatrist and author Dr. Nassir Ghaemi about the surprising connection between mental illness and exceptional leadership. Drawing from Dr. Ghaemi's books "A First-Rate Madness" and the newly published "Soul on Fire", the conversation explores how figures like Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ted Turner may have drawn strength from struggles with depression or bipolar disorder during times of crisis. It's a thought-provoking discussion about stigma, creativity, resilience, and the misunderstood realities of mental health. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Send us Fan MailWhat if one festival could shift how a culture is seen, heard, and experienced?Welcome to a powerful, culture-defining episode of Self Reflection Podcast, where host Lira Ndifon takes you beyond the surface of music and into the heartbeat of something much bigger—AfroFEST Bay Area.This isn't just a conversation.It's an invitation into a movement.A movement where African culture is not filtered or diluted—but celebrated, amplified, and owned.AfroFEST: More Than a Festival — A Cultural AwakeningAfroFEST is quickly becoming one of the Bay Area's most exciting cultural platforms—where music, fashion, identity, and community collide.It's where: African artists take up space unapologetically Creatives across disciplines find connection and collaboration Culture is not just performed—it is lived And in a world where narratives are often shaped externally, AfroFEST is reclaiming the story. YODĖLĖ: The Sound of a New GenerationIn this episode, Afrobeat artist YODĖLĖ—one of AfroFEST's standout performers—shares his journey as a Nigerian artist building his voice in the diaspora.But what makes YODĖLĖ different is not just his sound.It's his perspective.A self-proclaimed “nerd” and creative innovator, he represents a new kind of artist—one who blends music, technology, storytelling, and identity into a multidimensional experience.From developing DigiComics to reimagining storytelling through tech, to commanding the AfroFEST stage with undeniable energy—YODĖLĖ embodies what it means to create without limits.Inside This Episode, We Explore: How AfroFEST is shaping the future of African culture in the diaspora Why representation and cultural ownership matter now more than ever The real creative process behind Afrobeat music Using music as a tool for manifestation, identity, and connection Breaking stereotypes: embracing the “nerdy” side of creativity The business of music: sync deals, ownership, and long-term strategy Mental resilience and navigating uncertainty as an artist Building community over chasing clout If you were given a platform to represent your culture…would you shrink—or would you rise?AfroFEST is more than a moment.It's a reminder that when we create spaces for ourselves, we don't just celebrate culture—we redefine it.And artists like YODĖLĖ remind us that the future of creativity belongs to those bold enough to be fully seen.AfroFEST is calling.Step into the space.

This is message 32 in Gospel Record of John John 10:31-42 Everything rests on recognizing who Jesus truly is, because if He is not God, He cannot save. His words, His works, and the testimony surrounding Him all point to one clear truth that demands a response. Some reject Him despite overwhelming evidence, while others believe and find life. The difference is not in the proof given but in the heart that receives it, because eternal hope is found only in acknowledging Him for who He is and trusting Him fully.

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation reveals that God is not primarily raising up individual spiritual heroes, but a corporate Body of believers functioning together as one living organism under Christ the Head. Through the many-membered Body, Christ receives His voice in the earth as believers speak and live the Word of God. A true word from God is creative, imparting the life and nature of God into those who receive it. As believers become cleansed and yielded vessels, they function as channels of that living Word. The vision presented is of a corporate people—an anointed family, a mighty army—each member placed by God and functioning in their unique role. Some speak the Word, others build, create, govern, serve, or perform practical works. Together they demonstrate the Kingdom of God on the earth. This corporate functioning fulfills Jesus' promise that greater works would be done, not by individuals alone but by a unified Body empowered by the Spirit of God. Show Notes 1. The Body of Christ Is Corporate, Not Individual God does not work through isolated individuals but through a many-membered Body. Believers help prepare and build one another through the living Word.Christ receives His voice through His people.The Holy Spirit speaks through yielded vessels. Key idea: God needs a people, not just a person. 2. God Places Each Member in the Body Every believer has a divinely appointed function. God sets members in the Body according to His will.No one appoints themselves or judges another's role.Each person fills a place designed by God. Realizing this brings humility and unity. 3. A Word From God Is Creative God's Word is not merely information—it creates spiritual reality. It is not aimed at intellect alone.It forms Christ within the believer.It carries the same creative power that formed the world. Receiving the Word requires openness, dedication, and purification. 4. God Is Raising a Body That Knows Him The Holy Spirit is emphasizing a corporate people who know God personally. Each member can hear from the Lord.Each member can speak a living word.Christ is expressed through the whole Body. This represents a new level of corporate awareness of Christ within. 5. Greater Works Through the Corporate Body Jesus' promise of greater works becomes possible through a unified Body. One person can accomplish much.Many functioning together can accomplish far more.The family of God releases multiplied authority. This reveals the potential power of the Body when aligned with Christ. 6. The Kingdom Requires Many Functions The Body includes far more than speakers or preachers. God raises up: CraftsmenBuildersWorkersCreatorsLeadersServants The Kingdom operates through anointed people doing God's work in every sphere of life. 7. The Body of Christ Is a Mighty Army The Body functions like an army with many roles. Not everyone is on the front line.Each function contributes to victory.God's power is revealed through the collective. The strength of the army comes from God working through His people together. Key Quotes Mike “God needs a people, not one person. Through this many-membered body He functions, and we give Christ His voice.” Ken “When you realize you're part of something greater than yourself, you begin to see the greater works Jesus promised.” Ron “When a word comes from God, it is God. It carries the same creative power He used to create the world.” Mike “Our prophecies and prayers will do more than any law passed by man.” Ron “The Kingdom is not just people speaking the Word. It's men and women who do God.” Ken “What we're really talking about is a mighty army.” Scriptural References The Body of Christ 1 Corinthians 12 (12–18)“For as the body is one and has many members…”Romans 12 (4–5)“So we, being many, are one body in Christ.” Members Placed by God 1 Corinthians 12 (18)“God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.” The Creative Power of the Word Genesis 1 (3)“Then God said, ‘Let there be light,' and there was light.”Isaiah 55 (11)“So shall My word be… it shall accomplish what I please.”Hebrews 4 (12)“The word of God is living and powerful.” Greater Works

How does your heart feel? That's the moon. And then who do you think you are? That's the sun, man. That's a lot. That's okay. We do it... every month and for eclipses we do it twice a year.”“We do have the ability to open ourselves up to our full potential. So that feels yummy. And then it doesn't feel yummy. Why? Because it feels like a big deal. And it feels like, I might not know. And it feels like, what if I do it wrong? That's okay, right? That's normal.”How to Engage FurtherEnjoyed this episode?

In this episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood connections in personal development: the relationship between success and sex. This is not a conversation about physical intimacy. It is a deep dive into mindset, discipline, and energy management — the same principles Napoleon Hill introduced in Think and Grow Rich, including sex transmutation.Drawing from Mitch Horowitz's The Power of Sex Transmutation, Jay Onwukwe's Sexual Energy Transmutation, and David Deida's The Way of the Superior Man, I explore how sexual energy can become your greatest creative fuel when it is directed with purpose. You will hear how winners convert desire into focus, how discipline turns temptation into drive, and how controlled energy leads to clarity, confidence, and long-term success.This episode explains why many ambitious people rise or fall based on how well they manage their sexual impulses, and how mastering this inner power strengthens your purpose, relationships, and emotional stability. If you want to elevate your performance, sharpen your ambition, and learn how to channel your deepest energy toward your goals, this is the episode to listen to.Tune in for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about the mental, emotional, and spiritual discipline behind true success.Check us out - Instagram and Twitter: JeroldJax Facebook: Jerold Action Jackson and Zone Of Action JeroldJackson.com Happiness starts with you.

If you're curious about energy or magic, meet Elizabeth Makepeace. She's spent 27 years as a healer and has experienced many moments that feel impossible—like seeing three shooting stars after asking for a sign, building a successful business, and recovering easily from a brain tumor surgery. She even met the love of her life in a fairytale moment on the beach, and his last name really is Makepeace. Drawing from all of this, she created The Ascendance Code, a way to help people connect with their Higher Self wisdom. Elizabeth shows that we're not broken or separate—we're powerful, connected beings who can create more magic in our lives when we let go of the beliefs that hold us back.https://www.elizabethelenor.com/
WelcomeHello, lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I'm joined by the extraordinary Natalie Levin. She is an opera singer, an astrologer, and a woman who lets spirit move through her without shrinking.In this conversation, we speak about permission, expression, and the courage to be fully seen. We touch the link between creative energy and sexual energy, the power of sound and movement, and the moment you stop apologising for your bigness.This is about returning to your body, your voice, and the truth of who you are. Let yourself feel what rises as you listen.Episode Summary In this episode, Natalie and I trace her path into expression, energy, and the permission to be fully herself. From opera houses to astrology to healing work, she reveals that people do not simply need information, they need resonance, safety, and the freedom to take up space. We speak about creative energy as life force, the myth of being too much, and how the body opens when we stop managing and start listening. Natalie shares how she guides others to move, sound, and feel again, releasing pressure and returning to the truth pulsing under the surface. Her work invites us back to authenticity, intuition, and the bigness we were never meant to silence.Key Takeaways A Woman Who Refuses to DimWhen you let yourself be as vast as you are, something settles. You stop performing and start inhabiting your own frequency.Your Voice Is a TransmissionSound carries truth the mind cannot hold. When you let it rise, the body exhales.Permission Changes the Nervous SystemPermission to take up space, to move, to feel. The body opens when you stop asking to be allowed.Too Much Was a StoryYour bigness was never the problem. It is the medicine.Listening Brings You HomeNot listening with your thoughts, but with your skin and your knowing. That is where clarity lives.Resources and Links

Jonathan Schecter is a breathwork specialist, integration coach, and founder of Blue Magic Alchemy, where he helps others explore non-ordinary states of consciousness and reconnect with what he calls the inner healer.

Arts and culture don't thrive in isolation. They thrive when artists, institutions, and policymakers work in concert. Michael J. Bobbitt, Executive Director of Mass Cultural Council, is making that bridge his life's work, showing how government and the arts can partner to create healthier, stronger, more sustainable communities. From his early days as a performer and choreographer to his current role shaping statewide cultural policy, Michael has witnessed both the joys and the shortcomings of the arts sector. In this episode, he argues that the sector's future depends on how boldly we organize, build cross-sector partnerships, and demand our place at the table.

You're invited to join us for a free Zoom seminar on Dreams and Art on Saturday, September 13th, at 10:30am ET. Register here.---Holding the tension of the opposites means that when you're pulled hard in two different directions, you don't rush to choose or shut one side down—you keep both viewpoints in mind and let each be heard with equal rights, as if two people were debating inside you.
