If you are experiencing spiritual dryness, it is often because you are treating the Divine Mystery as a biological trigger or a data set to be mastered rather than an infinite reality to be encountered through faith. This episode performs a metaphysical surgery on our need for "understanding," demonstrating why trying to grasp God's essence with our intellect leads to a self-imposed gnosticism. We must actively strip away our limited perceptions and allow the darkness of faith to be our true guide.Clinical Notes:The difference between identifying an object (like a rose) and truly understanding its essence, which remains impossible when it comes to the mystery of God.How faith acts as the necessary darkness that helps us see and understand the formal structure of reality proposed by the Church.The specific danger of reducing your spiritual life to a dopamine hit or a closed biological system rather than a relationship with the Divine.The true nature of mercy (Luke 6:36) as an unpredictable gift that requires us to let go of our affairs and desire for vengeance once justice is acknowledged.

It doesn't matter who you are, we all travel through dark and fearful places in life – and at those times, it can be so hard to remember that God is in the Light business.   The Darkest Nights I am always so excited to be starting a new series of messages and that's what we are doing this week on the programme – and it is a series that I have called "Dark Night, Bright Light." Dark and darkness – I wonder what those words mean to you? There are all sorts of connotations when we apply them to our lives. I remember when I was a young boy - even probably well into my teenage years – I was really afraid of the dark. I remember after dinner in the dining room, it was a long corridor – well it seemed a long corridor – especially in the dark. It was only about, I don't know, only eight or nine meters from the dining room to my bedroom. But I have to tell you, when it was dark, it was a long way for me to go. And I was afraid to walk from the light dining room into that dark corridor to my dark bedroom. Now in the house where we lived, we were blessed because there was a light switch for the lights at either end of the corridor so I could walk out of the dining room, turn on the light and the corridor was in light and then I could go to my bedroom – and I always used that switch. Now, we lived in a safe part of town and the house was secure and there was no logical or rational reason for me to be afraid of the dark – I just was – and it was a deep fear and I think a lot of kids go through that. It seems that darkness and fear, well, they often go together in life – young or old. Now the truth be known we need both – we need light and dark in this world. I love it when the sun goes down and it's time to go to sleep and again when the sun comes up in the morning and it's time to get up and get on with living life. That's a pattern we live by – it's a pattern of life. But imagine if it were only ever dark, how awful that would be. In some countries of course, far north and far south, they have many months of darkness. Now take a look at our own lives. If we look back on those dark times – those periods in life that we would rather forget – whether it was a broken relationship or sickness or the death of a loved one or some real financial difficulties or maybe you have been through a war and has seen people killed or been in prison. Perhaps you have seen everything that you have worked so hard for over so many years just go down the drain. Someone has hurt you incredibly deeply or someone you trusted – perhaps you have been through a time of depression or real loneliness or you are working so hard that you don't feel as though you have a life – that list just goes on and on and on. Life has its dark times, doesn't it? Maybe you are going through one right now or maybe, who knows, there is one just around the next corner or next year or the year after and that's why we are kicking off this series "Dark Night, Bright Light" because light is the opposite of darkness and when we are travelling through those dark times, light is the very thing that we need. The problem is it can be so hard to find; so hard to believe in or hope for and over these coming weeks, we are going to be spending some time with King David in Psalm 34. But before we go there, let's have a little foretaste about darkness and light. If you have got a Bible, I want you grab it; I want you to open it up at page 1 – Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1 – the beginning. Here's what it say: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said "Let there be light" and there was light. And God saw that the light was good and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light 'day' and the darkness He called that 'night'. And there was evening and there was morning – that was the first day." I might hear you say, "Well, Berni, I know that passage and that's all well and good. You're talking about physical light here, that's fine but what about God shining His light into the darkness in my life?" We are going to talk about that shortly but the point that I'm making is this: creation tells us something about the Creator. You and I create different things because we are different. God, the very first thing He creates – the very first thing – is light. That tells us something about God but what a light! We tend to just think of the sun there; one of just an estimated trillion, trillion stars. God is seriously into light and that tells us something about who He is. Let's take a look at just another couple of verses in the Bible. There are so many of them that talk about God and light – Ezekiel chapter 10, verse 4: Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple and the court was full of the radiance and the glory of God. Words from Isaiah chapter 60, verse 19: The sun will no more be your light by day nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you for the Lord will be your everlasting light and your God will be your glory. And perhaps my favourite of all, where Paul seems to bring it all together in Second Corinthians chapter 4 and verse 6: For it is the very same God who said "Let light shine out of the darkness, that made His light to shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." The Bible is full of references about God being our light and our radiance. Can you see why I have called this series "Dark Night, Bright Light"? Over these coming weeks I believed we are going to be transformed by God's Word about darkness and light. If you have just been through a "darkness" or you are going through one right now or you are going to go through one in the future, the Word of God is going to shine a light into that dark place – "Dark Night, Bright Light."   The Wisdom of Hindsight As I said earlier in the programme we are going to spend some time in Psalm 34, this week and over the next three weeks. It's an interesting Psalm because it comes out of King David's life. It's a Psalm of praise for deliverance from trouble. So it is a Psalm written, if you like, with the benefit of hindsight. David has learned something – something about God in a dark time. Now we are not sure what that time was. The introduction to the Psalm says, "A Psalm of David when he feigned madness before Abimelech so that he drove him out and he went away." Now we don't have any other information about that. Abimelech was a judge; he was a leader of Israel; he was Gideon's son. Anyhow the fact of the matter is, even though we don't know the precise historical details it doesn't matter. David had to engage in some deception, it tells us; if was a fearful and scary time and he needed to escape. Now let's have a look at the first part of this Psalm. If you have got a Bible, open it at Psalm 34 – we are going to look at just the first eight verses today. This is what it says: I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord, let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. I sought the Lord and He answered me – He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look at Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called and the Lord heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him It's a beautiful Psalm! You see, it's David looking back on a difficult time. And he starts out be praising God – "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips," because of God's faithfulness. And there's a purpose in him praising; a specific purpose. Look at verse 2. My soul will boast in the Lord, let the afflicted hear and rejoice. See, the purpose of this Psalm is to let the rest of us know when we are afflicted that God is faithful in those darks times so that we can hear that and rejoice. See, this Psalm was written for you and for me. Isn't God good? And David says, "You know why I am writing this Psalm? It's for you, you who are afflicted; you who are travelling through a dark and fearful time." You know why? Come and look at verse 3 again with me. David says: Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. In other words so that you and I can rejoice together even though we might be travelling through dark times. We are getting the benefit of what David discovered in his dark and fearful time. And what he discovered, well, it is as profound as it is simple. Look at verse 4; this is what he says; this is the heart of this first passage for me. David says: I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. You know what happens in the darkness? In the darkness we become afraid and that fear immobilises us – fear stops us dead in our tracks. We just kind of sit there and we ache and fear eats away at our hearts like a quick spreading cancer and in that fear - remember, David was as he had been many times before, in fear of his life; real fear – David had more than his share of dark times – he had real fear. Let me say it this way – he was in deadly fear and in the midst of his deadly fear he did the thing that he had learned to do over all of those times in his life when he had been in danger – when he was on the run from King Saul who was trying to kill him for all those years – he did the one thing he knew to do – Psalm 34, verse 4: I sought the Lord and He answered me. David sought God – he'd cry out to God for help. The one thing that we can forget to do when we are frozen by fear is just to cry out to God – just to pour our hearts out to Him. And what a surprise, "God answered him and delivered him from all his fears." I don't know about you but I can relate to that. In life and in ministry I come against giants of opposition all the time and I can tell you, some days they scare me – seriously. And we have a choice – we can just kind of sit there and tremble in fear and be completely immobilised or we can spend some time with God, crying out to Him in prayer and reading His Word and listening to Him – and He always delivers me from all my fears. David goes on to say this – verses 5 and 6 of Psalm 34: Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered in shame. This poor man called and the Lord heard him and He saved him out of all his troubles. There it is – the light word "radiance". The Hebrew word that sits behind our English translation means literally 'to beam or to burn with light'. It's an "over the top" kind of word – it's not a glow or a flicker or just a shine, but to beam and to burn with light and that's exactly what happens when we look to God; when we put our trust in Him in the middle of our darkness. See, in those dark times we are downcast; ashamed if you like, but David states this simple truth "This poor man called and the Lord heard him and saved out of all his troubles; He delivered him from all his fears." This is such a humble and beautiful picture, isn't it? David, probably the greatest King that Israel ever had, saw himself just as a poor man who cried out to God in his darkness. Don't you love it how the Bible is packed full of this real life stuff – this stuff that's right down where we are? The Word of God meant for us here and now; right where the rubber hits the road - the light and the radiance of God in our darkness and fear - and all this out of a simple step that David took; so simple and yet when we are afraid, so difficult. "I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears."   Taste and See God is very much in the "light" business, isn't He – taking our fear and replacing it with His radiance? Perhaps that's why David writes in Psalm 18, verse 28: It is You O Lord who lights my lamp; the Lord my God lights up my darkness. And again in Psalm 139, verses 11 and 12: If I say surely the darkness will hide me and the light will become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to You. The night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to You. You get the impression that David is a seasoned traveller through darkness and he has learned some stuff that God would have us learn, each in our own way. Now let's head back to Psalm 34, verses 7 and 8, just to finish off our look at what David learned. Let's have a read: The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Now there are two things here we need to get into; the first is the bit about the angel of the Lord. Let's have a look at verse 7 again: The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Angels have a kind of funny symbology these days in our society – fluffy little creatures with wings – but you do just a short study of the angels that God describes in the Bible and you discover they are a fearsome lot. Often God uses them as a messenger and the first thing the angel says is, "Don't be afraid". They deliver a specific message to God's people to protect them from trouble and often they appear as fearsome beings to protect God's people. Look at Second Chronicles chapter 32, verse 20: King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amos cried out in prayer to heaven about this and the Lord sent an angel who annihilated all the fighting men and the leaders and the officers of the camp of the Assyrian King. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace and when he went to the temple of his god, some of his sons cut him down with his own sword. Get it? The angel is serious protection. Presidents or Prime Ministers or Kings or Queens all have their security contingents right around them when they travel. Well those security contingents have got nothing on an angel of the Lord. And you might say to me, "Berni, do you seriously believe in angels?" Absolutely! We can't see them but when we fear God; when we reverence Him – we will talk more about that idea next week – when we belong to Him, He sends His angel to encamp around us; to surround us; literally, to lay siege around us to protect us. How does David know that? Because he has been there; he has experienced it over and over again and that's exactly what he says in the next verse. Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Now, this verse is so often quoted out of context "Taste and see" – suck it and see! When you are in the darkness; when you are afraid, David is saying, "Try this thing that I am talking about 'Taste and see that the Lord is good', you will be blessed when you take refuge in Him." It's like an invitation to you and me today from God. Come on, try it – I can hear the Spirit of God saying through His Word – "Come on, try it because when you take refuge in Me". God is saying, "you will truly be blessed". I don't know about you but God has seriously spoken to me today and encouraged me through His Word; He is in the light business and it's something that David discovered through long, hard experiences in darkness and fear. And he comes out the other side of that singing God's praises specifically for you and for me to hear. I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name. I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called out and the Lord heard him and He saved him from all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and He delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good for blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him. Isn't that an awesome Psalm? People sometimes say to me, "Berni, why do you talk about this stuff? You know, is this Christianity thing for losers?" You don't have to be a loser to go through dark times – we all go through dark times – we all travel through difficult times. You know, a friend or a relative that is close to us dies young of cancer and we are left reeling and we think "God why has that happened?" We get retrenched; we lose someone else we love; we … – all sorts of things happen to us and at those times it feels like God has deserted us. Listen to David again: I sought the Lord and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. In that darkness there is no light so bright as the light of God and His heart is to take a face that has been covered with tears and put His radiance on that face. God is a wonderful God. I want to encourage you to join me over the next three weeks as we further explore the Word of God and what God has to say about His light amidst our darkness. That's what this series "Dark Night, Bright Light" is all about.

What happens when early trauma, adoption, religion, and abusive relationships collide with a spiritual awakening that cannot be ignored?In this deeply human and unfiltered Part 1 conversation, Trina shares her life story — not as a spiritual teacher, but as someone who lived through profound loss, shame, and identity confusion, and slowly awakened from the inside out.We talk about growing up adopted and feeling “different,” the painful decision to give a child up for adoption, and the long road toward forgiveness and reconnection with her birth mother. Trina opens up about religious conditioning, the dark night of the soul, and how chasing external success and approval led her further away from herself.As the conversation unfolds, we explore her kundalini awakening — not as an abstract spiritual concept, but as a lived, embodied experience. She describes physical symptoms, intuitive abilities opening naturally, and learning to listen to the body as a source of truth.This episode is not about perfection, enlightenment, or having answers.It's about remembering who you are, redefining abundance as peace, and learning to love yourself after years of survival.This episode is for you if you:Feel there is more to life than what you were taughtHave experienced adoption, trauma, or deep identity shiftsAre going through a spiritual awakening or dark night of the soulAre redefining success, faith, and what abundance truly meansPart 1 lays the foundation — the story, the wounds, and the awakening.Part 2 continues deeper into integration, embodiment, and living from truth.Listen on:Spotify · Apple Podcasts · Amazon Music · YouTubeConnect with the show:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oschirachInstagram: www.instagram.com/oschirachChapters00:00 Welcome & The Intention Behind This Conversation05:52 Growing Up Adopted & Feeling Different11:44 Giving a Child Up for Adoption21:42 Trauma, Shame & Survival Patterns39:06 Religion, Faith & Spiritual Conditioning52:40 Losing Faith & The Dark Night of the Soul01:05:20 Abuse, Identity Loss & Chasing External Success01:17:30 Kundalini Awakening & Physical Spiritual Symptoms01:42:10 Spiritual Gifts, Intuition & Embodied Awakening01:55:30 Redefining Abundance, Purpose & Self-Love

Stuck in the Silence? The old maps—standard devotionals and "trying harder"—won't work here. You need new coordinates. I wrote a comprehensive guide on the metaphysics of the Dark Night and how to navigate it without losing your mind.Start Here: Read the Field Guide https://midnightcarmelite.com/darknight/In this episode, Dr. Larry Chapp and Andrew analyze the "Law of Proportionate Polarization" and the modern crisis of the "Bureaucratic Register". We discuss why the contemporary institution often fails to address the spiritual crisis because it ignores the "Sanctified Register of the Saint". By attempting to manage the Holy Spirit through programs and synods, the modern church risks losing its "Epistemic Humility" and the essential mystery of the faith. This conversation serves as a triage for the soul caught between a world of "sticks and stuff" and the call to a sacrificial, contemplative life.

Stuck in the Silence?The old maps—standard devotionals and "trying harder"—won't work here. You need new coordinates.I wrote a comprehensive guide on the metaphysics of the Dark Night and how to navigate it without losing your mind.Start Here: Read the Field Guide https://midnightcarmelite.com/darknight/We often mistake spiritual activity for spiritual progress. When the sensible consolations of prayer vanish, our natural human instinct is to "panic-buy" our way back into God's presence through more rosaries, more retreats, and more mental strain. However, this is not a lack of effort; it is a misunderstanding of the metaphysics of the Light. By virtue of your Baptism, you are already in the Light—but an "Excess of Light" can feel like total darkness. The resentment you feel toward a "broken contract" with God is the signal that you are trying to navigate a new landscape with an old, broken map.The Myth of Spiritual Volume: Why adding more vocal prayers during a period of dryness is often a defense mechanism against the actual surgery God is performing.The Metaphysics of Baptism: Understanding your permanent mark as an adopted child of God and why you cannot "fall out" of His light, even when it feels blinding or absent.Productive vs. Unproductive Mortification: How to stop "spiritual thrashing" and pivot toward disciplined detachment from specific habits (like doom-scrolling) rather than mental exhaustion in prayer.The Unique Dialogue: Why universal prescriptions often fail and the necessity of returning to the life of Christ in the Gospels as the "Final Word" of your direction.

Today we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Valentine (2001), the stylish horror thriller from director Jamie Blanks. Join us as we break down the film's blend of romance and fear and shine a spotlight on the ensemble—David Boreanaz, Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, Jessica Capshaw, Katherine Heigl, and Jessica Cauffiel. We discuss what made Valentine stand out in the early-2000s horror scene and why it still resonates with fans today. Joining in on this discussion is Roger Conners of Dark Night of the Podcast as he helps us dive into how Valentine was ahead of its time in its depiction of its core female cast and with its takes on toxic masculinity that has gone a long way to turn into a cult favorite that continues to entertain today. Love Hurts but this listen certainly won't!Links For Guests: Roger Conners (TheScreamQueer)Where To Watch Valentine

Many people on a spiritual path are feeling the heaviness and confusion of the times. There is a sense that something deeper is unfolding beneath the chaos of the world. In this livestream, Kara Goodwin speaks candidly about the dark night of the soul as it relates to the current global climate, prophetic cycles, and the spiritual pressure many sensitive, conscious people are experiencing right now. Rather than a fear-based conversation, this is an honest exploration of discernment, spiritual sovereignty, and what it means to stay aligned with truth, clarity, and inner authority during times of manipulation, division, and energetic overload. Topics explored in this livestream include: Why these times were prophesied across ancient and modern lineages The difference between awakening and spiritual overwhelm How fear narratives and information overload impact the nervous system Recognizing spiritual and psychological manipulation without giving it power The temptation to compromise authenticity for visibility or growth Why intuition must lead over algorithms, trends, or external influence Navigating the dark night without losing your light Spiritual protection, invocation, and energetic alchemy Transmuting fear, despair, and heaviness into wisdom and strength Kara also shares a deeply personal experience of confronting spiritual darkness, how she recognized it in real time, and the tools she used to reclaim clarity and power without denial or bypassing. If you have felt overwhelmed by world events, discouraged by what you are seeing, or pressured to give up your inner knowing, this livestream is an invitation to remember who you are and why you are here. You are not powerless. Your consciousness matters. And even reaching one soul is enough.  

What if your life isn't happening to you — but for you? In this New Year's Eve conversation, Kristin sits down again with evolutionary astrologer Robin Jillian, revisiting a dialogue that first took place years ago during a shared Dark Night of the Soul. This time, the lens is wider, deeper, and more precise. Together, they explore evolutionary astrology as a map of the soul's long arc — not predictive, not hierarchical, and not about “what's coming next,” but about why your soul chose this life, these patterns, and these turning points. This conversation moves through Pluto as the great initiator, shame as a form of amnesia, surrender as courage (not collapse), and the profound difference between spiritual bypassing and true embodiment. They speak candidly about trauma, relationships as mirrors, soul contracts, neurodivergent sensitivity, and what happens when your inner scaffolding can no longer hold who you're becoming. This episode is for anyone who has outgrown surface answers, quick fixes, and performance-based healing — and is ready to sit inside the deeper truth of transformation.About Robin JillianRobin Jillian is an evolutionary astrologer, author, and guide whose work focuses on soul evolution, Pluto dynamics, and embodied transformation. Her memoir, Hugging Trees in the Dark: Finding Courage to Free the Heart, chronicles her own Dark Night of the Soul and the rebirth that followed.

He cautions that relationship tensions can peak during periods when business consumes all attention and urges mindfulness of time spent with loved ones. 00:02:38 - 00:04:33 — The Personal Toll: Real-Life Stories Through candid personal stories, Keith Kalfas describes heartbreaking episodes of marital conflict stemming from his workaholic habits, culminating in threats of divorce.

He narrates a recent business mishap that caused anxiety and how connection, presence, and solutions are the antidotes to suffering.   Key Takeaways Balancing Business and Home Life - Being self-employed, especially in a seasonal business like landscaping or window cleaning, blurs the lines between work and personal life, often leading to stress in relationships. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5, business owners frequently bring work home, resulting in continuous pressure and less quality time with loved ones. Impact on Relationships - Intense work periods can strain marriages or partnerships due to lack of attention, leading to feelings of neglect and frequent arguments. Communication and reassurance are critical; your partner wants to feel prioritized and secure, knowing that they come first even as you pursue business goals. Self-Work & Leadership Lasting change starts with inner work: healing past wounds, forgiving yourself and others, and evolving toward conscious leadership.  Leading yourself well is foundational before you can successfully lead a family, business, or community.   Connect with Keith Kalfas: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resource Links Jobber CRM Free Trial:  getjobber.com/kalfas.

When we suffer, we suffer because we try to find happiness in something that will never give it to us," Fr Daniel Chowning said. Yes... and that wasn't even the "quote to remember from this episode", according to Bishop Frank! Fr Daniel Chowning OCD is a Discalced Carmelite priest and author of Healed by Love: Contemplation as a Path of Healing according to St John of the Cross. Fr Daniel joined Bishop Caggiano to talk about: ...who are the Carmelites, and who was John of the Cross? ...what exactly is the Dark Night of the Soul? ...what is contemplation? ...how can we find true healing? This is a fantastic conversation. Enjoy!

Holly Swenson's presence instantly softens a room. An award-winning author, registered nurse, wellness advocate, and mother of four boys, she carries a rare blend of grounded wisdom, calm authority, and deep maternal devotion. Her life and work are rooted in presence, intentionality, and the belief that how we live and parent today shapes generations to come. Welcoming Holly to this episode of Intimate Conversations, opening Season 14, Dark Night to Divine Light, there was a felt sense of steadiness, elegance, and emotional safety as we explored what it truly means to parent and live from a regulated nervous system, a full heart, and a conscious yes to life. In this nourishing and deeply practical conversation we explored: How Holly cultivated her calm not because life was easy, but because adversity taught her how to become the calm in the storm, supported by daily rituals of quiet, meditation, and intentional presence. What it actually looks like to create non-negotiable space for oneself as a parent, including waking before the household, lighting a candle, making tea, and tending her inner world before tending to everyone else. Why boundaries are acts of love, not control, and how consistency, kindness, and clarity help children feel safe, respected, and empowered to develop their own sense of self. The importance of co-regulation in partnership and parenting, and how choosing to remain grounded instead of reactive can de-escalate emotional storms and restore connection in moments of overwhelm. How Holly and her husband stay aligned as parents through open communication, mutual respect, and shared values, creating a stable emotional foundation for their family. Why screen boundaries matter deeply for mental health, including no phones at the dinner table, no phones in bedrooms, and intentional unplugging during family time and vacations to restore true connection. Holly's powerful STOP, DROP, GROW & GLOW framework, beginning with slowing down and self-reflection, releasing old patterns and trauma, cultivating supportive habits, and finally embodying a life of aligned self-care and presence. Her reflections on motherhood as a sacred initiation, including releasing guilt around staying home, honoring caregiving as meaningful work, and trusting the seasons of life as they unfold. The truth that children are some of our greatest teachers, offering wisdom, presence, and reminders to slow down, notice, and live with wonder. Why softness is not weakness, and how strong, loving leadership in families comes from being both firm and tender, embodied and emotionally available. This conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember what truly nourishes a family and a soul. It reminds us that presence is medicine, that boundaries create safety, and that when parents tend their own inner world, they give their children a lifelong gift of emotional resilience and love.

What if feeling like you only had a stick on the battlefield was the moment God showed you the sword? In this episode, Francis Piché shares his declaration: to create the best men's group in the world for conscious men who want to establish something beyond their own life. The Knight Club isn't just about mission, it's about working on that mission together with brothers who share the heroic code (humility, excellence, respect, optimism, integrity, and courage). His vision? Chapters around the world where men can travel to Paris, London, Barcelona, or Sydney and know they'll connect with people like them who they can do life and business with. Francis was inspired by a recent trip to Scotland where he felt deeply connected to the knighthood and brotherhood, realizing this is his next chapter. He reveals the dark night in Orange County when he felt so powerless that ending it all seemed like the only option. Financial debt, feeling worthless in a place full of luxury cars, unable to even talk to a woman because his self-esteem was on the floor. After rejecting his friend's money in anger, he told his brother Jason he felt like all he had on the battlefield was a stick, not even a sword. That conversation saved his life. Later, Francis asked for the photo of the bright star he'd seen that night. The star's name? Sisaph, which means "the sword of the giant." God had the story for him all along. Francis also shares how his sales mentor Bob Smith told him after selling his entire year's quota in six months: "What do you mean 150%? Your goal is 200%. That's how successful people think."   [00:07:06] The Knight Club Declaration Declaration: Create the best men's group in the world for conscious men, men of faith Men who want to establish something beyond their own life, creating a legacy Rising together in ups and downs, working on mission together Differentiator: Not only thinking about mission, working on it with Thinking Into Results program [00:08:40] The Vision: Chapters Around the World Vision inspired by recent Scotland trip, felt connected to knighthood and brotherhood Imagine chapters everywhere: Paris, London, Barcelona, Sydney, South America Connect with people like you who share the heroic code Can do life and business with them, have great time traveling [00:09:20] The Heroic Code Humility, excellence, respect, optimism, integrity, and courage All guys in group embody these attributes, you can rely on this Creating retreats for men, sometimes incorporating women together Traveling, connecting great people, business owners, dreamers who want to make difference [00:11:40] Am I Alive While I'm Alive? Best friend died last year out of nowhere at 47 Asked himself: "Am I alive while I'm alive? Am I having a bold life?" Bold means: Brave, Original, Loving, and having Dedication to a cause/mission Purpose of life: be fully alive, being free, helping others, making a difference [00:17:00] The Dark Night in Orange County Two-three years ago, perfect storm: waiting for clients not responsive, deeply in debt Felt not good for own clients, business not showing up, felt powerless and meaningless Saw beautiful woman at hookah bar but too scared to talk, she left in McLaren Friend Simon teased "Be a man, why don't you talk to her?" hitting self-esteem to floor [00:19:20] The Stick on the Battlefield Rejected friend's money with gesture he felt, was rejecting own friend and self "What's the point? Why am I here? I'm not even a man" Only reason didn't consider ending it: didn't want burden of bringing body back to parents Friend Jason had long conversation, wouldn't let him give up [00:21:00] The Sword of the Giant Told Jason: "If I was on battlefield right now, all I have is a stick, not even a sword" After conversation felt reignited, asked for photo of bright star from that night Looked up name of star: Sisaph, which means "the sword of the giant" "God had that story for you. You're the giant, you're the star. Remember this." [00:22:20] The Power of Brotherhood Moment of reawakening the giant within Not just support in bad times, also celebrating good times All have ceilings, all have pressure (next exit, firing employees, etc.) Requires new identity to go to next level [00:24:40] The Godfather's Wisdom At 16, godfather gave birthday card: "Don't choose job for paycheck" "Do what makes your heart come alive, otherwise you'll be poor all your life" Chose multinational job for $55K over $30K small organization that offered travel Was miserable for four years, flames diminished every day [00:26:20] Found the Card 20 Years Later At 36, found the card and realized: "He was right" Associated being successful with getting all that, which is a lie If you have enough of your why and excitement, you'll go through challenges Purpose of living: to be fully enlivened [00:27:20] Bob Smith: The Sales Mentor Week before starting new job at Xerox, fiancée said "I want to cancel the wedding" Three months before wedding, she left next day, "house of cards collapsed" Sales coach Bob Smith at bootcamp helped him recreate himself Bob's lesson: "Seven things to be a successful salesperson... #7 most important: Have fun" [00:29:00] "You Can Do Anything You Want" After bootcamp, thanked Bob for the week Bob put hand on shoulder, piercing eyes: "I've watched you this week" "You can do anything you want in your life.

There are some moments when my life gently asks me to sit down, soften, feel and tell the truth. This solo episode of Season 14 marks a moment, recorded at sunset in Santa Fe, opening under the theme Dark Night to Divine Light.  This episode is a quiet, powerful homecoming and nourishing personal reflection of why I have returned to solo episodes and why I coach. Not from theory. Not from branding. But from lived experience, grief, integration, and devotion to Truth. In this tender and revealing episode, I explore what happens when we stop suppressing our feelings and stop performing to keep others happy. I speak about how every time we abandon a part of ourselves, that separation echoes outward into our relationships. And how, when we bring those parts home, something in us finally rests. Our nervous system softens. Our presence deepens. Our intimacy becomes real. This is what it means to meet ourselves, so we can be truly met by another.  I share about moving into my new home in Santa Fe after seven years of living nomadically, and the grief that arose when I let go of a dream that did not unfold the way I once imagined. The grief associated with accepting life as it is, rather than how I hoped it would be, made me melancholy. And yet that acceptance became a doorway to peace, power and deeper alignment. This episode explores why living in the "why?" keeps us stuck in our heads, spinning in analysis, while avoiding the feelings that actually want our presence. I speak about the alchemy that happens when we allow ourselves to feel fully. Pain does not just pass. It transforms. Shame becomes wisdom. Betrayal becomes clarity. Fear becomes embodied knowing. We are MORE from feeling.  I share client stories that illustrate this truth, from individuals learning to come home to their bodies after years of over-intellectualizing, to couples transforming their relationships through radical honesty, presence, and community witnessing. From a young man whose nervous system finally found safety, to couples renewing vows not from obligation but from Soul Truth. Throughout the episode, I return again and again to the heart of my work. Coaching is not about fixing or saving. It is about walking with someone into the places they thought were unfeelable, staying present, and bowing to their courage as they reclaim themselves. It is about integrity, ownership and humility. I cannot ask someone to do what I am unwilling to do myself. This solo is also a meditation on the mystery and the beauty of NOT knowing. I reflect on how the question "What if?" does not have to lead to worse case scenario fear. It can lead to wonder. What if it turns out better than you ever imagined? What if love finds you? What if your presence becomes the answer to someone else's prayer?  This episode is an invitation to live with your heart splayed wide open. To welcome your darkness and your light, to be with it all. To remember that intimacy begins within, and that when we come home to ourselves, we discover we were never separate from the Divine at all. Thank you for being here.

Rewriting D-Day After Infidelity: Winter Solstice Ritual to Heal Betrayal Trauma & Stop Obsessive Thoughts What if you could go back and prepare for D-Day? Not to stop the betrayal from happening, but to soften the blow, steady your nervous system, and walk yourself through the darkest night of your soul with reverence, support, and a plan. In this deeply soulful Solstice episode, Lora guides you through a powerful re-imagining of D-Day using the energy of the winter solstice — the longest, darkest night of the year. Instead of bracing against the pain of betrayal, you'll learn how to “pack your bag” for the dark night of the soul: tending your body, nervous system, and subconscious so you can move through the darkness with preparation, not panic. Drawing on childbirth metaphors, subconscious re-patterning, and the natural arc from winter solstice to summer solstice, Lora walks you step-by-step into the memory of D-Day and back out again — this time as the woman you are now: wiser, more resourced, and no longer alone. You'll leave with a six-month roadmap for healing, micro-boundaries to support your body and soul, and a new understanding of why you're not broken… you're just ready for a different map. Top 3 Takeaways Why D-Day still hijacks your body (and how to change it) How betrayal trauma locks into the subconscious mind and nervous system, and why you can't just “decide to stop ruminating” or think your way out of it. The Winter Solstice Betrayal Ritual: Preparing for the Dark Night of the Soul How to “pretend” solstice is your D-Day, pack your metaphoric bag, and consciously walk yourself into the darkness with support, tools, and reverence — so your body learns that you can bear it and you will come out the other side. From Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice: A Six-Month Healing Map How to set micro-boundaries, tiny daily practices, and structures of accountability that quietly rewire your life over six months — so one day you look up and realize, “It's lighter now. I'm actually okay… and I'm not obsessing anymore.” Favorite Quote “The real tragedy of betrayal isn't the betrayal itself. It's failing to rise up afterward and reclaim your heart, your soul, your identity.” Apply or learn more: https://loracheadle.com/rise-and-reign Book your $97 Introductory Session: https://introductorysession.com Your healing is not about managing them.

What does it mean to choose wisely? Which kinds of values support this? To what extent are they related to ethics? How similar are Indian traditions to modern ideas about what to prioritise? Might teachings need reframing to speak to us clearly?Simon Haas presents ancient wisdom for everyday life. He is the author of The Book of Dharma – subtitled “Making Enlightened Choices” – and Yoga and the Dark Night of the Soul, which draws on ideas from the Bhagavad Gītā. He's also spoken on these topics at the United Nations, and offers a wide range of workshops and seminars.Together, we discuss what he calls the Dharma Code, a framework of principles informing wise conduct. These overlap with ethical precepts, and help people fulfil their potential. We nonetheless reflect on drawbacks to expecting any system to have all the answers, since it's helpful to find one's own way.Although Simon is adept at making subjects accessible, he is also a scholar with an Oxford PhD – you can find out more about his research here.

In this episode, Jason explores one of the most important texts in world spirituality: The Dark Night of the Soul by St. John of the Cross. St. John was a 16th-century Carmelite monk who helped St. Teresa of Ávila reform the Carmelite order—and was kidnapped and imprisoned by rival monks for nine months, during which he composed this classic text on spiritual transformation. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why the "dark night" is not depression, but a necessary stage of spiritual development - The three signs that distinguish true spiritual purgation from mere lukewarmness - How God "weans" the soul like a mother teaching a child to walk - Why divine light appears as darkness to the unprepared soul ("a ray of darkness") - The ten steps of the ladder of love leading to union with God - How suffering is more secure than pleasure on the spiritual path Key quote: "He who shines with the greatest light shall cast the darkest shadow." If you've ever felt spiritually dry, disconnected, or like God has withdrawn His presence—this episode reveals why that experience is not only normal, but essential. ---

Every one of us will experience a dark night of the soul at some point. And it could even happen when those around you are telling you how many things you have to be grateful for. But pushing those feelings down or pretending they don't exist doesn't help you in that internal battle, it actually deepens your shame and struggle. Whatever our situation is, we need to recognize our feelings as valid, and move through them to get to the other side. Dr. Edith Eger is a holocaust survivor, a psychologist, and an incredibly wise and resilient human. In today's clip, she explains why rage is necessary for forgiveness, why suffering can uncover hidden strengths, and how even in the darkest places, there is always a gift to be found.    Show links: Learn more at dreditheger.com Read Dr. Eger's books:  The Choice: Escaping the Past and Embracing the Possible  The Gift: 14 Lessons to Save Your Life   As always, I'd love to hear from you!

Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love.

To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
