The Suffering of the Apostle Paul      The apostle Paul's ministry was marked by unrelenting hardship, yet God used these very trials as a means of shaping his character and magnifying His glory. In recounting his experiences to the Corinthians, Paul detailed the many afflictions he endured: imprisonments, countless beatings, stoning, shipwrecks, exposure to danger, hunger, thirst, sleepless nights, and the daily pressure of concern for the churches (2 Cor 11:23–28). Such a catalog of suffering would have crushed many, but Paul recognized that his hardships were not wasted. Rather than viewing his trials as setbacks, he understood them as instruments of God's providence, divinely appointed means through which his faith was refined and his ministry authenticated. His endurance in these circumstances demonstrated that his message was not driven by human strength or ambition but by the power of God working through a frail but faithful servant. These sufferings kept him humble, dependent, and keenly aware that the surpassing greatness of the gospel treasure was carried in “earthen vessels” (2 Cor 4:7).      Even more, Paul interpreted his sufferings as opportunities to display Christ's strength in his own weakness. When he pleaded for relief from his “thorn in the flesh,” the Lord answered, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Cor 12:9). Paul therefore embraced his afflictions, declaring, “Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me” (2 Cor 12:9–10). This paradoxical perspective enabled him to rejoice even in chains, as he assured the Philippians that his imprisonment had actually served to advance the gospel by emboldening others to preach Christ without fear (Phil 1:12–14). For Paul, trials were not obstacles but opportunities, occasions for God's grace to shine through human frailty and for the gospel to reach further than ease and comfort ever could. His life exemplifies the truth that spiritual maturity and that God's power is most clearly displayed when His servants, emptied of self, depend wholly on Him. The Suffering of the Saints Mentioned in Hebrews 11      The writer of Hebrews speaks of a “cloud of witnesses” who testify through their lives that faith can endure under the most severe trials (Heb 11:35–38). These men and women of old faced unimaginable hardships, including mocking, flogging, chains, imprisonment, and even violent death, yet they refused to abandon their trust in God. Some, like Jeremiah, were beaten and confined in stocks (Jer 20:2), while others, such as Daniel and his companions, were threatened with fiery furnaces and lions' dens but held firm to their convictions (Dan 3:16–18; 6:10). Tradition also recalls prophets who were sawn in two or killed with the sword, giving their lives rather than compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. What unites these witnesses is not the uniformity of their circumstances but the constancy of their faith. Though their earthly stories often ended in suffering rather than triumph, their lives bear permanent testimony to the sustaining power of God's promises. They form a great gallery of the faithful whose examples surround and encourage believers to run with endurance the race set before them (Heb 12:1).      Though their faith was tested to its limits, these saints looked beyond their temporal struggles and fixed their gaze on God's eternal reward. They lived as pilgrims and strangers on the earth, confessing that they sought a better country, that is, a heavenly one, prepared by God Himself (Heb 11:13–16). Their perspective was not limited to deliverance in this life but extended to resurrection and future glory. Women, like the widow of Zarephath and the Shunammite woman, received back their dead by resurrection (1 Kgs 17:22–23; 2 Kgs 4:35–37), yet others accepted death rather than deny the hope of “a better resurrection” (Heb 11:35). This eschatological outlook sustained them through unimaginable suffering, for they knew that God's approval and eternal inheritance outweighed every earthly loss. Their faith was not naive optimism but a settled confidence in the character and promises of God, who “is a rewarder of those who seek Him” (Heb 11:6). In this way, their testimony continues to inspire believers today to endure hardship, remembering that the path of faith often winds through suffering, but it ultimately leads to the eternal presence and reward of God. When Believers Fail to Live by Faith      There are examples in the Bible where mature believers struggled to maintain faith during intense trials. In Numbers, Moses became overwhelmed with his leadership and expressed despair, saying, “I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me. So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once” (Num 11:14-15a). Similarly, Elijah, after his triumph on Mount Carmel, fled from Jezebel and asked God to let him die because he felt overwhelmed and alone. Elijah said, “It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers” (1 Ki 19:4).      These instances highlight the very human responses of exhaustion, fear, and despair in some of God's greatest servants. They remind us that enduring trials is difficult and that even the most faithful can struggle to keep perspective in the face of overwhelming circumstances. However, these stories also show God's compassion and provision. God did not condemn Moses or Elijah for their despair; instead, He provided for their needs, reassured them, and continued to work through them. God's response to their struggles illustrates His understanding of human frailty and His willingness to sustain His people even when their faith falters. In a way, these moments of struggle also contribute to their spiritual growth, as God uses these low points to teach them, recalibrate their thinking to focus on His power and promises, and prepare them for the next steps in their journeys.      Lastly, we cannot prevent the difficulties of life that come our way, but we can respond to them in faith, trusting God and His Word to guide and strengthen us. We know that “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8:28). Whatever happens to us, we must fight the urge to complain, for if we start that, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back. Complaining is not a problem solving device, and Scripture tells us to “Do all things without complaining or arguing” (Phil 2:14; cf., 1 Pet 4:9). As difficult as it may be, we must chose a faith response to “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; and in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Th 5:16-18). When emotions rise, faith must rise even higher, for it is only through faith in God and His Word that growth occurs. Accept God's Trials.      Paul wrote, “we exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Rom 5:3-4). James said, “Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing” (Jam 1:2-4 CSB). The Lord uses the fire of trials to burn away the dross of our weak character and to refine those golden qualities consistent with His character. The growing believer learns to praise God in and for the trials, knowing He uses them to strengthen our faith and develop us into spiritually mature Christians. Trials can make us bitter or better, depending on how we respond to them. In the right conditions, time and pressure can shape a Christian much as it shapes carbon into a diamond. Wiersbe states: "The greatest judgment God could bring to a believer would be to let him alone, let him have his own way. Because God loves us, He “prunes” us and encourages us to bear more fruit for His glory. If the branches could speak, they would confess that the pruning process hurts; but they would also rejoice that they will be able to produce more and better fruit."[1]      The Lord wants His child to have strength of character, steel in the soul, and not timidity. He leads the Christian into situations and hardships that resist comfort and develop spiritual muscle. He does not hesitate to place them in situations that lie beyond their natural strength, for only in being stretched to face the humanly impossible does the believer learn to trust in the Lord, gain confidence, and discover that divine power is made perfect in weakness.      God uses trials, suffering, and hardships as His chosen instruments to shape, strengthen, and prepare those He intends to use. Rather than shielding His servants from pain, He hammers, molds, and bends them—never breaking them but transforming them into vessels fit for His highest purposes. For the Christian, then, suffering is not meaningless. It is God's tool of refinement, His instrument for shaping souls into vessels of honor. The fires that seem to consume us are in fact controlled flames in the hand of a wise and loving Father. The Christian who learns to see trial as part of God's gracious purpose can echo Paul's triumphant words: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing… always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body” (2 Cor 4:8–10).      From a biblical perspective, God uses trials as a means to shape us into the people He wants us to be because He loves us and desires what is best for us. He wants us to mature, and life's difficulties are part of the process. We must walk by faith and choose to “count it all joy” (Jam 1:2) because we know that the testing of our faith will lead to spiritual maturity if we yield to the Lord (Jam 1:3–4). This passage encourages believers to view trials as opportunities for growth. Where there is positive volition and a faith response, trials become a means to strengthen faith, leading to perseverance. As perseverance develops, it results in spiritual maturity. Steven R.

[20251219] Crónicas de San Borondón ¿Ocultan los militares y los servicios secretos hoy en día información relevante, y espectacular, sobre el fenómeno OVNI? ¿Existen casos investigados por militares y ocurridos en Canarias que no se conocen? ¿Realmente se localizaron cráneos metálicos entre los restos de los aviones siniestrados en Los Rodeos en marzo de 1977? ¿Se encontraron las misiones Apolo ruinas y humanoides en la Luna? De todo esto y de mucho más habla este viernes en Crónicas de San Borondón el investigador Juan José Benítez, el representante más veterano, tras 53 años en activo, del periodismo de misterio en España. Otro invitado de lujo que pasará por CSB esta semana es el escritor Jorge Fonte, autor de uno de los libros de la temporada, Esto no estaba en mi libro de Historia de Disney, editado por Almuzara. Su visita permitirá indagar en algunos de los aspectos más oscuros atribuidos a Disney, profundizar en sus curiosidades y recordar los extraordinarios hitos de un apellido que ha sobrepasado todos los límites. Finalmente, Fernando Hernández tendrá minutos para aportar curiosidades sobre las navidades canarias, y Ricardo Martín, en el Gabinete del Curioseante, diseccionará el uso con fines militares de las lenguas nativas americanas.

Este viernes 28 de noviembre ‘CSB’ (‘Crónicas de San Borondón’) propone en las noches de misterio de la Radio Canaria un crisol temático de lo más sugerente. El espacio que conduce José Gregorio González recibe la visita de Fernando Hernández, para analizar en un mano a mano la presencia de sustancias psicoactiva dentro de la sociedad aborigen canaria. ¿Se pueden identificar plantas y prácticas entre los guanches que buscaban generar estados alterados de conciencia? ¿Lo hacían como parte de ceremonias o de procedimientos médicos? ¿Perduró ese conocimiento? Junto a ese tema, ‘CSB’ dedicará minutos a los mitos y realidades que rodean a una de las producciones cinematográficas más destacadas de la historia, El Mago de Oz. Un proyecto alrededor del cual han florecido los relatos más extravagantes. La película, además de reflejar una suerte de viaje simbólico y de autodescubrimiento, en busca de corazón, inteligencia y valentía, también fue el ecosistema de prácticas que hoy resultarían escandalosas. Manuel Díaz Noda hablará de todo ello en la sección Expediente Mélièr. El programa abordará también la épica historia de la escritura Cherokee. Una ingeniosa invención moderna que surgió en el seno de este pueblo nativo, con el objetivo de preservar su cultura e identidad en medio de un proceso de etnocidio cultural al que estaban siendo sometidos. Ricardo Martín, en su Gabinete del Curioseante, se ocupara de este asunto, completando el menú temático de esta edición la crónica de una noche de investigación OVNI. Semanas atrás, José Gregorio González aceptó el reto de acudir a un punto concreto de la isla de La Palma y convertirse en observador y notario de las apariciones de OVNIs que, según afirmaban varios investigadores locales, se daban de forma recurrente en el lugar. El singular resultado de esa velada OVNI, será compartido en este programa.

⛵️ Thanksgiving week is here, friend — and today's episode takes you back to a night in 1620 when the Mayflower almost turned back. A cracked beam… a raging storm… sickness… fear… and a group of believers choosing gratitude anyway.

[20251107] Crónicas de San Borondón Esta semana la tecnología, tanto sus luces como sus sombras, estará muy presente en Crónicas de San Borondón, en La Radio Canaria, gracias a los enfoques que de ella ofrecerán los expertos Manuel Díaz Noda y Miguel Ángel Cabral. En su sección Expediente Méliêr, Díaz Noda analizará la manera en la que el cine ha descrito los riesgos de sometimiento y rebeldía asociados al desarrollo de tecnologías como la robótica o la impactante IA, con el clásico del cine, Metrópolis, como eje vertebral de su análisis. Por su parte, en Crónicas de Prometeo, Cabral presenta un informe sobre el meteórico despegue de las tecnologías electrónicas, desde el transistor a los potentes microchips de la industria actual. Como contrapunto temático la afamada conferenciante motivacional, experta en inteligencia emocional y escritora Elsa Punset, atiende a la llamada de José Gregorio González para desgranar algunos de los contenidos de su más reciente éxito literario, Alas para Volar, su libro más íntimo, en el que reflexiona sobre la necesidad de crecer, de soltar lastre, de trabajar por la paz y la preservación del planeta, así como de recuperar el potencial de la imaginación. El espacio también contará con la participación del periodista y escritor Javier Pérez Campos, uno de los rostros más reconocibles de Cuarto Milenio, quién visita CSB para hablar de los rincones más oscuros de la condición humana, aquellos que afloran al abrigo de la noche y que delatan nuestra faceta más monstruosa. Campos acaba de publicar Nocturnos, una obra que analiza esos aspectos. Finalmente, junto con la sección vintage El Archivo del Misterio que rescata sonidos del pasado del programa, el espacio contará con la participación de Ricardo Martín, quién como buen curioseante aportará todas la claves de uno de los libros más míticos de la historia, el tratado de magia e invocaciones Las Clavículas de Salomón.

Show Notes

​​In today's episode, I am sitting down with Darshana Avila for a truly fascinating and important conversation about the intersection of sexuality, somatic work, and trauma healing. As therapists, we often talk about the mind and body connection, but many of us shy away from exploring how that connection relates to our clients' sexuality, intimacy, and sense of pleasure. Darshana brings a deeply trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach to this work, helping clients reconnect with their bodies, navigate consent, and move beyond shame into embodied wholeness. In our discussion, we explore what sexological bodywork actually looks like, how it differs from traditional sex therapy, and why somatic awareness is essential for both healing trauma and deepening intimacy. We also touch on how therapists can hold space for these conversations within private practice and why it is so important to bring curiosity, consent, and compassion to this part of the human experience. This is one of those episodes that might stretch your perspective a bit, and that is a good thing. I am so grateful to Darshana for sharing her wisdom, and I think you will walk away with a richer understanding of how to support your clients and yourself in a more embodied and holistic way. In This Episode, We Cover: How Darshana's personal journey led her to somatic and erotic healing work The difference between sexological bodywork and traditional sex therapy Why somatic awareness is essential for trauma healing and intimacy What it means to truly "come home to your body" How consent goes beyond just saying yes or no The role of the nervous system in safety, pleasure, and connection How therapists can introduce somatic principles in private practice Understanding erotic wholeness and how it expands our idea of healing The impact of shame and cultural conditioning around sexuality Why pleasure and safety are part of the same healing process Resources Mentioned In This Episode  Watch on YouTube  Use the promo code "GORDON" to get 2 months of Therapy Notes free Consulting with Gordon The PsychCraft Network Profit First for Therapists Workbook Meet Darshana Avila Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic sex & intimacy practitioner (SEP, CSB) who guides people through embodied journeys of erotic wholeness.

Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you. Jeremiah 1:5 MSG You are divinely designed to know and walk with God and to live a life of meaning not misery. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! Psalm 139:15-18 NLT God's plans for you are intentional, not accidental, and they're good!For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
