1. The Erosion of the Sacred Narrative and Economic Collapse In 92 AD, Gaius and Germanicus observe the 21st-century "Iranwar," a conflict they find deeply unsettling due to its lack of a clear *casus belli*. Labeled "Trump's war," it is presented as a preemptive strike born of fear rather than a defensive reaction, leaving the public and allies in a state of strategic confusion. This lack of clarity is mirrored by a global economic shock, with oil prices surging toward $150 per barrel and domestic gasoline prices jumping unpredictably, damaging consumer confidence. Germanicus argues that the U.S. has failed to invoke its "sacred narrative"—the national canon that defines the U.S. as a "redeemer nation" on a divine mission to liberate humanity and punish the wicked. Instead, the administration has offered only "code words and sound bites" rather than a coherent story, leaving the "why we fight" entirely missing. The rationale for the war has shifted inconsistently between liberating the Iranian people, stopping nuclear weapons, and simply labeling the enemy as "evil". This failure to lay the proper groundwork or establish a fixed war aim means the U.S. is embroiled in a conflict it cannot explain, while rivals like Russia exploit the chaos to achieve their own objectives in Ukraine.

In this episode, we break down the five types of unhealthy hunger. We discuss why so many women struggle with their weight in perimenopause and menopause, and look at what actually works. Why you should pause before eating: It helps you become aware of why you're eating (true hunger vs. stress, boredom, fatigue, thirst) It allows you to reconnect with physiological hunger cues instead of eating by the clock It can reduce cravings  It can prevent impulsive eating Bio: Dr. Allana Polo, N.D Dr. Allana Polo, N.D., is a licensed Naturopathic Physician and passionate wellness advocate whose signature weight loss programs have helped transform the lives of thousands of patients.

Loneliness is quietly becoming one of the most serious struggles of our time, affecting even believers who are surrounded by people each week. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore how social media, comparison, and fear of rejection have eroded meaningful fellowship, leaving many isolated despite constant digital connection. They explain that biblical community is not optional but part of God's design, rooted in shared purpose and labor in the gospel. Isolation creates space for lies to grow, while vulnerability and honest confession build trust and strength. The solution is not just busyness, but intentional, Christ-centered relationships formed through church involvement, service, and discipleship. When believers lift their eyes from themselves and unite with others, loneliness turns into joy, endurance, and lasting hope.Send a textThanks for listening!

In this week's podcast episode in the Nutrition After Breast Cancer: Just the Facts series, I bring up the study that sparked that concern. I don't ignore things like this. I don't pretend they don't exist. If there's research being talked about, I want you to know about it. But here are the actual facts. The study was done in mice. The mice were made to consume about 40% of their diet in olive oil. And the rest of their diet was an obesogenic, high-carbohydrate diet designed to promote weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. That is not a Mediterranean diet. That is not olive oil drizzled over vegetables and salmon. That is not real life. It was a laboratory model designed to stress metabolism. Context matters.

Owen was on holiday abroad when he received a disturbing message from a colleague: “The boss is looking to replace you.” Deeply upset, he prayed one morning at dawn and asked God: “Where are you?” Then, he went to the window to open the curtains—and spotted a huge, beautiful rainbow suspended above the lake outside. Immediately, a comforting warmth gushed over him. “It was as if God was simply telling me, ‘It’s okay, I’m here,’” he recounted later. In Genesis 9, God promised not to destroy the earth through a flood again. He promised, “Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth” (v. 16). This covenant was everlasting and unconditional. It depended totally on God’s protection and provision, not on humanity’s performance. And it was just the first of many promises God would make to His people. Jesus, too, said: “Surely I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20). God doesn’t promise that we won’t suffer. But He does promise His ever-present comfort and personal presence. We may not get “rainbow answers,” but we have His assurance that no matter what happens to us in life, He’s always there for us, and we can draw on His strength, comfort, and presence.

What if thriving wasn't about having more, but about choosing differently? Rand Selig has spent a lifetime studying growth, leadership, relationships, and what it truly means to live well. With decades of global experience in business, service, and personal development, Rand believes thriving is not accidental. It's the result of intentional choices made over time. This episode explores how self-reflection, forgiveness, resilience, and personal responsibility shape the quality of our lives. Through thoughtful dialogue, Rand Selig and Chuck Thuss unpack why thriving starts with the relationship you have with yourself, how setbacks can become turning points, and what it takes to stop living on autopilot and start authoring your own story. Guest Bio Rand Selig holds an MBA from Stanford and dual undergraduate degrees in mathematics and psychology. For over 35 years, he has led his own financial services firm while living and working across Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Does your anxiety or depression symptoms keep you from sleeping? Or maybe you are looking for the drowsy professor type voice that knocks you out.  The Deeply Unimportant podcast might be what you are looking for. Sometimes you need a specific type of voice to put you into the sleep zone.   Once upon a time there was a guy named Terrance McKenna. Very deep into psychoactive plants, mushrooms and alternative waves of being.   I didn't really understand what he was talking about. Not a clue. This was a good thing because within 15 minutes of listening to him I was asleep. Again, I didn't not understand anything. I just knew that if he was on the radio, I was going to be able to go to sleep. These days, I need something more "boring" than Mr. McKenna. No disrespect to Terrance. For those on his wave length he was the man. Now days, we have a lot of options from ASMR to stories but for me, Deeply Uniportant cuts through the mind yapping and slides me into sleepy town.  Resources Mentioned:  The main website is https://deeplyunimportant.com.

This episode is brought to you by B2B Better. We turned down SaaS clients and e-commerce brands to become the only video-first podcast agency for service-based B2B businesses. Specificity is the strategy.  If you've ever said "we can do that" to every client who walks in, this episode is your wake-up call. Host Jason Bradwell breaks down why niching down is the fastest path to becoming the obvious choice, and why being a bit of everything for everyone means you're actually nothing for nobody. Jason's core point is clear: when he set out to build B2B Better, he committed to being specific on two levels - who they serve and what they do. Not just B2B, because B2B is a hemisphere. They went one layer deeper: service-based businesses. Consulting firms, agencies, system integrators, compliance specialists. Companies that sell expertise, not products. People, not software. Trust and relationships, not features and pricing. That's what lends itself to their service: video-first podcasts that turn your point of view into pipeline. Nothing else. The same principle applies to podcasts. When a client says they want to launch a show, Jason's first question is: what's your superpower? Here's the formula. "This is a podcast about X, and unlike other podcasts about X, only we do Y." Most B2B podcasts fail this test. They say "we're a podcast about technology" or "leadership" or "AI." So are thousands of others. There's no "and." There's no reason to choose you. Add the "and" and everything changes. One show in the B2B Better portfolio is Data and Biotech: "a podcast about data science, and unlike other data science podcasts, only we explore it through the lens of biotech manufacturing." Suddenly if you're a data scientist in biotech, there's only one show for you. That specificity drives 75% to 80% episode completion rates, nearly double the industry average because every listener is exactly the right person. The fear of niching down is real. Every founder worries about leaving money on the table. But saying yes to everyone dilutes your positioning, creates operational inefficiency, and kills pricing power. What actually happens when you niche properly: the funnel gets narrower at first, but the people who raise their hand are perfect fits. They convert faster, pay more, stay longer, and refer others in the same niche. Year one it feels limiting. Year three it feels like leverage. Year five it feels like a moat. The framework to choose your niche: look at your best clients, not biggest. Validate the economics. Test your thesis before announcing publicly. Then commit hard and communicate clearly—change the website, the LinkedIn, the pitch deck. Say who you serve and who you don't. Resonance over reach. Always.

7:00 pm in the Sanctuary & online Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season, a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual growth leading up to Easter. We will begin the Lenten season with scripture, prayers, Communion, and for those who desire the imposition of ashes as a sign of our unity with Christ and with one another. We hope that you will join us as we begin this journey together, and that this season of Lent will be a time of deeper spiritual growth and closer relationship with God. May God bless you on this Ash Wednesday and throughout the Lenten season. If you cannot attend in person, please visit our Watch page to worship online.
