The hosts are stunned by this rejection of decency for religious consistency.

The receptor that switches off your appetite on a GLP-1 drug is the same one wired into your reward circuitry, your hormones, and your blood vessels, which means when you turn down hunger, something else may be getting turned down too, and for most people taking these drugs, nobody ever checked.In this solo episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon discusses:Why the same drug class can improve sexual function in men with obesity while potentially dampening it in lean or postmenopausal women — and why the deciding factor isn't the drug, it's the bodyHow rapid weight loss raises SHBG, the protein that soaks up free testosterone, so a "normal" total testosterone result can hide a real deficit your bloodwork won't flagWhy women make up 60–70% of GLP-1 prescriptions yet the entire evidence base for female sexual function is two case reports, with zero validated questionnaires in any pivotal trialThe three-tier action plan for anyone on or about to start a GLP-1 — baseline your sexual function first, get free testosterone tested, and protect muscle with protein and resistance trainingWhether you're on a GLP-1 drug or considering one, you'll walk away knowing exactly what to measure before you start and what to watch for after — so a change in your sexual health gets caught as the vital sign it is, instead of being quietly dismissed.Thank you to our sponsors:Cozy Earth - Go to https://bit.ly/44qcXtu for up to 20% off!

Cross-border financial planning can become stressful when important tasks are delayed. U.S. brokerage accounts, IRA accounts, beneficiary designations, estate documents, and account transfers often take longer than expected, especially for Americans living in Israel. What feels like a routine financial task can quickly become a last-minute scramble when paperwork, firm response times, holidays, and professional coordination all collide. The best time to deal with financial decisions is before pressure builds. Starting early gives you time to review your options, ask questions, gather documents, and make more thoughtful choices. For cross-border investors, acting during calm periods can make the difference between a manageable process and a stressful deadline. Key takeaways and action points: Review any U.S. brokerage, IRA, estate, or beneficiary tasks you have been postponing Start early, especially when cross-border paperwork or financial institutions are involved Build extra time into your planning so delays do not become emergencies Take one concrete step this week instead of waiting for the perfect moment If you would like to review how your U.S. brokerage or IRA accounts fit into your life in Israel, schedule your free introductory call to see if we're a good fit: https://profile-financial.com/call

The conversation around AI often focuses on speed, automation, and productivity. Yet one of the most important lessons emerging from modern software development is that Hero Culture Risks become more visible as technology removes traditional bottlenecks. In Building Better Developers Season 28 Episode 8, Dave Borzillo shared a perspective many experienced developers recognize immediately: being the person who always saves the day feels rewarding, but it often masks deeper organizational problems. As AI accelerates software creation, those hidden weaknesses are becoming harder to ignore.   About David Borzillo David Borzillo is an Agile coach, author, speaker, and organizational improvement advocate with more than three decades of experience spanning software development, leadership, Agile transformation, and product delivery. Through his Better Ways of Working platform, he helps organizations improve collaboration, reduce operational friction, and create sustainable delivery systems.

In Episode 319 of The Block Runner Podcast, hosts William and I-man are joined for a third time by Benny the Dev of Tap and Track. Benny walks through the TAP protocol's largest upgrade since 2023: native time locks, delegations, and HTLC-based cross-chain swaps that work without bridges, all done natively through meta protocols rather than soft L2s. They dig into Tapscope, the new cross-chain DEX, and Benny's take on perpetuals he calls superpositions, isolated collateral arenas that avoid cascading liquidations. He also teases phase two (the full cross-chain trading matrix) and a phase three AI integration. Then a retrospective on routing NAT emissions to Bitcoin miners, now over sixty percent of hashrate with four of the top five pools engaged, why the declining Bitcoin subsidy and security budget is a real long-term problem, and why NAT, built on the bitsfield with a minimal, non-invasive footprint, may be the perfect engineering answer to it. Plus: building ahead of the narrative, the OpenSea lesson, NAT.fun's dual-rail Solana and Bitcoin approach, Tim Sweeney's Team Open and the NFT/gaming revival, and where AI genuinely helps in development versus where human instinct still wins. Disclosure: The hosts are founders of NAT.fun and hold positions in assets discussed. Nothing in this episode is financial advice.

Today’s Topics: Father Robert Elias joins Terry 1) Gospel – Matthew 7:1-5 – Jesus said to His disciples: “Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.” Memorial of Saint John Fisher, Bishop, and Saint Thomas More, Martyrs Memorial of Saint Paulinus of Nola, Bishop Saints John, Thomas, and Paulinus, pray for us! 2, 3, 4) In Part One, Terry and Father Robert discuss Saint John of the Cross, his Spirituality and what he teaches us

What if the three most famous Psalms in the Bible are actually one story, and that story was pointing to Jesus all along?In this episode, we dive into a Bible study on Psalms 22, 23, and 24. These psalms were written by King David nearly a thousand years before the New Testament, and biblical scholars refer to them as the "Shepherd's Trilogy." Hidden within these psalms is a stunning prophetic timeline of the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. In our Psalms 22-24 Bible study, you'll learn:[06:26] Psalm 22 Crucifixion Prophecy: How David described Jesus on the cross in vivid detail, down to the pierced hands and divided garments, nearly 1000 years before the crucifixion[08:22] A Lesson from King David: How to feel the full weight of your pain and bring it to God the way David did to experience an unexpected peace and lightness[12:19] The "Bookend" Revelation: The jaw-dropping message Jesus sent to the Jewish crowd from the cross by quoting both the first and last lines of Psalm 22[19:25] The Real Meaning of Psalm 23: Why the rest, restoration, and “quiet waters” of this beloved passage only make sense through the lens of Christ's suffering[27:42] Psalm 24 and Palm Sunday: How this triumphant praise Psalm connects to the Ark of the Covenant, Handel's Messiah, and Jesus' final entry into Jerusalem on Palm SundayPsalms Show Notes:Psalms RoadmapPsalms Playlist on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist on SpotifyPsalm 8 (Hallé) by Phil WickhamACTS Prayer GuidePsalms Prayer List - Coming Soon!Group Discussion Questions for Psalms 22-24:[08:22] David vented his pain to God and then pivoted to praise, not because the suffering stopped, but because he transferred the burden. Is there something you are carrying right now that you haven't fully laid at God's feet?[20:27] God put David through “shepherd school,” Moses through the wilderness, and Esther through the royal court. In your life, what season or "school" has God put you through, and what do you think He was preparing you for?[23:16] People and sheep have a lot in common. What characteristics of a sheep can you most see in yourself: defenseless, needing constant care and to be led to (spiritual) food and water, resisting rest, or fearfulness.Contact Bible Book Club!Social: Instagram or FacebookWebsite: Bible Book ClubReview Us: Apple Podcast or SpotifyJoin the Fun: DONATE or Buy merchThis episode is part of our ongoing Bible Book Club series, starting with Genesis and journeying all the way through the Bible.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Are Islam and Christianity separated brothers, mortal enemies, or something in between? History tells the story.SponsorThis month, we're talking about how Christians engage with Islam, a conversation Southern Seminary has taken seriously for a long time. As President Al Mohler has put it, you can't prepare a minister for today's world without reckoning with Islam. That conviction is why Southern now offers a PhD in Islamic Studies, and why it's home to the Jenkins Center, a team devoted to helping pastors, missionaries, and everyday believers reach their Muslim neighbors with the gospel. To find resources and learn more about degrees, visit sbts.edu/islamicstudies. And be sure to listen to our interview with Dr Ayman Ibrahim, who is the head of the Jenkins Center.Resources to Click“Islam and Christianity: A Brief History” – Tony Costa“Does the Bible Predict the Coming of Muhammad?” – Tony Costa“Jesus in Islam” – Tony Costa“Does the Qur'an Really Deny That Jesus was Crucified an Died on the Cross?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjxN2VF1Fr4 { “article”: “## When You’re Standing at the Edge of Your PromisennThere’s a moment every believer eventually faces — you’ve stepped out in faith, you’ve followed the call of God, and just when fulfillment seems within reach, everything starts pressing against you. The enemy shows up. Doubt creeps in. You begin to wonder if you heard God correctly in the first place.nnBishop Robert Daniels, speaking at Lineage Church on Father’s Day, delivered a timely word for anyone standing at that threshold: the edge between wilderness and inheritance. Drawing from Isaiah 59, Isaiah 60, and the Gospel of John, he unpacked what it truly means to possess what God has promised — and why the standard God raises against the enemy is more powerful than most believers realize.nn## The Wilderness Strikes Hardest Right Before BreakthroughnnOne of the most important observations Bishop Daniels shared was this: the enemy doesn’t attack randomly. He comes in specifically when you are about to enter into fulfillment.nn”God is a God that declares the end from the beginning,” he said, “but he doesn’t give you any indication about that middle part — that wilderness part, that part where you don’t know your own name sometimes.”nnThis is a pattern as old as Scripture itself. When the children of Israel stood at the border of the Promised Land, they weren’t defeated by the giants — they were defeated by their own perception. Numbers 13 records that the spies said, “We saw ourselves as grasshoppers in our own eyes.” The enemy’s most effective weapon isn’t brute force — it’s psychological warfare that causes you to disqualify yourself from what God has already declared belongs to you.nnWhen you say “I can’t possess this,” Bishop Daniels reminded the congregation, it is essentially the same as saying “God can’t.” That posture grieves the Spirit and cuts you off from the very power that was meant to carry you through.nn## Isaiah 59:19 — Understanding the StandardnnThe anchor scripture for this message comes from Isaiah 59:19:nn”So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.”nnMost believers are more familiar with what the enemy is doing than with what the Spirit of God is doing. We can easily list the attacks, the setbacks, the pressures. But Isaiah tells us something critical: when the flood comes, the Holy Spirit doesn’t stand idle. He raises a standard.nnBishop Daniels spent years studying this passage — consulting Hebrew concordances, examining alternate translations — and arrived at a profound revelation through prayer: the standard the Holy Spirit raises is Jesus Christ himself, lifted up in his crucifixion.nnThis connects directly to Jesus’ words in John 12:31-32: “Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” The cross is not just a historical event. It is the active, ongoing standard raised against every flood the enemy sends.nn## The Power You Don’t See Because You’re Focused on the EnemynnOne of the most convicting threads throughout this message is the challenge Bishop Daniels places before every believer: do you know what Jesus has done better than you know what the devil is doing?nnMany believers operate from a sin-consciousness rather than a righteousness-consciousness. They measure themselves by their failures or their successes and find their identity in what they do rather than in what Christ has accomplished. This is precisely why spiritual fathers matter — the bishop pointed out that fathers in the faith help circumcise that sin-consciousness from their spiritual children, freeing them to walk in the righteousness that comes not from performance, but from the finished work of Jesus.nn”It’s not what you do or what you’ve done, good or bad,” he declared. “It’s what Jesus did.”nnThis is the foundation of possessing your inheritance. You cannot step into what God has for you if your faith is anchored in your own track record. The moment your eyes shift from the standard — from the lifted-up Christ — to your own capabilities or failures, you begin to shrink back just like the ten spies who saw themselves as grasshoppers.nn## John 3:14 — The Pattern of the Serpent in the WildernessnnBishop Daniels brought in a powerful parallel from John 3:14, where Jesus himself draws a comparison: “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”nnIn Numbers 21, the Israelites were being bitten by serpents because they had spoken against God and Moses during a difficult stretch of the journey — a detour that felt unnecessary to them. God’s instruction for healing was simple and strange: look at the bronze serpent Moses lifted up, and live. No striving. No earning. Just look.nnJesus says he is that standard lifted up. The healing, the freedom, the possession of inheritance — it all flows from looking to him. From believing what has already been accomplished.nnThis is not passive Christianity. It is the deepest kind of faith — the faith that says “it is finished” and acts accordingly, even when the circumstances look like a flood.nn## Entering Your Isaiah 60 MomentnnBishop Daniels spoke of a season he believes the church is entering — what he called an Isaiah 60 moment. Isaiah 60:1 commands, “Arise, shine, for your light has come.” It is a declaration that what belongs to you will come to you. Not because you are striving in need, but because God wants to move his people out of a needy, striving posture and into the fullness of what he has already deposited within them.nnThe Holy Spirit, dwelling inside every believer, reveals what the Father has hidden within you. But you will never access it if you are consumed with what the enemy is doing rather than what the Spirit is revealing.nn## What the Wilderness Is Teaching YounnBefore closing, Bishop Daniels offered a question every believer in a hard season should sit with: “What have you learned about the Father in this season?”nnWilderness seasons are not accidents. They are not signs that God has abandoned you or that you missed his voice. They are the very crucible in which faith becomes real — not just recited, but lived. “You won’t know what faith really is,” he said plainly, “until you come to the end of yourself.”nnGod brings his people to the end of themselves not to humiliate them, but to show them how strong they really are in him. The same God who called you out is the same God who will bring you in.nnIf you find yourself in a season of pressure, discouragement, or confusion today, Bishop Daniels’ word is a timely reminder: the standard has already been raised. The flood the enemy sent against your house does not have the final word. The Holy Spirit has lifted up Jesus — and that changes everything.nnLook up. Your inheritance is closer than you think.”, “keywords”: [“Spiritual Inheritance”, “Faith”, “Identity in Christ”, “Spiritual Warfare”, “The Cross”, “Isaiah 59”, “Breakthrough”, “Spiritual Fatherhood”], “meta_description”: “Discover how to possess your God-given inheritance by understanding the standard God raises against the enemy — the lifted-up Christ of Isaiah 59 and John 12.”, “slug”: “possessing-your-inheritance-through-the-standard”, “summary”: “Bishop Robert Daniels unpacks Isaiah 59:19 and the power of Christ as God’s standard raised against the enemy when you’re on the verge of your inheritance.” }
