Monks and money don't seem to go together—but maybe they should. Early Christian monastics developed a biblical approach to possessions that offered freedom from fear and created space for generosity. Their example continues to resonate with believers navigating modern financial pressures.Dr. Shane Enete, Chair of the Finance Department at Biola University, joins the show today to help us explore what he calls “monk finances,” drawing on early Christian history to uncover insights that remain strikingly relevant today.Why Monks and Finances Feel Like OppositesFor many people, the idea of monks and money in the same sentence feels contradictory. That perception has historical roots.In the early centuries of the church, some believers reacted to growing spiritual complacency by withdrawing from society. These early monks sought lives of radical devotion and discipline. In extreme cases, they rejected material possessions entirely, viewing the physical world—and even the body itself—as spiritually dangerous.But this wasn't the final word on monastic life.Leaders like St. Anthony and St. Benedict helped reshape the movement. They recognized that God created the material world before the fall; therefore, possessions, work, and even money could be used for His glory. Instead of rejecting material things, they began developing thoughtful, disciplined ways to steward them.Out of that shift came a surprisingly rich theology of money.Recovering a Biblical View of PossessionsAs monastic communities formed, they began to rethink how Christians should live with resources.Rather than treating money as evil, they saw it as necessary for life—but not as a source of identity or security. Their approach emphasized moderation, equality, and shared responsibility.Their guiding principle was simple: Meet your needs, then help meet the needs of others.Money became a tool for self-sufficiency that led to hospitality, not a means of achieving independence from God. This perspective echoed the Apostle Paul's teaching to the early church, especially in communities wrestling with wealth and inequality.In many ways, the monks' worldview stands in contrast to modern financial culture. Where today's systems often prioritize accumulation and long-term personal security, the monastic tradition emphasized dependence on God and care for neighbor.Economic Sufficiency vs. Economic SecurityOne of the most striking insights from monastic life is the distinction between economic sufficiency and economic security.The monks worked hard. They cultivated gardens, produced goods, and provided for themselves. But they intentionally stopped short of building wealth for personal protection. Their goal was sufficiency—having enough to live and to share.A well-known story about St. Anthony illustrates this progression. After initially living in isolation, he began growing food to avoid burdening others. Eventually, he expanded his efforts to feed visitors and care for those who came seeking wisdom. His work produced enough for his needs and created margin for generosity. That pattern shaped monastic communities:Work diligentlyMeet basic needsCreate marginPractice hospitalityThey believed the danger came when financial planning shifted from provision to self-protection—when wealth began to replace trust in God.Guarding the Heart from the Love of MoneyMonks viewed wealth with a sober realism. They saw it as useful but spiritually risky.Money, they believed, has a way of whispering false assurances: “You're safe. You're secure. You don't need God.”To guard against this, monastic communities developed “rules of living”—structured rhythms that shaped how they worked, spent, and shared. These practices served as guardrails, protecting their hearts from drifting into consumption and self-reliance.The goal wasn't deprivation. It was clarity. They wanted money to remain a servant, never a master.The Power of an “Economy of Excess”One of the most compelling ideas to emerge from monastic life is what might be called an “economy of excess.”In many monasteries, individuals were trained not to consume everything they were given. Instead, they intentionally left a portion unused—placing it at the center of the table for others.Imagine a community of dozens of people, each holding back a small amount. The result was abundance. Tables overflowed, and anyone in need could be cared for.This practice created margin without requiring wealth.It also mirrors biblical principles found throughout Scripture. In the Old Testament, landowners were instructed not to harvest their fields to the edges so the poor could gather what remained. The design was intentional: leave space for others, and generosity becomes woven into everyday life.When consumption stops short of the limit, community flourishes.Freedom from Financial AnxietyThe monks' approach offers a powerful corrective to modern financial anxiety.Today's culture often promotes endless striving—more income, more savings, more security. Yet the pursuit rarely ends. Wants expand, expectations rise, and contentment slips further away.Monastic wisdom points in another direction: simplify, define “enough,” and trust God with the rest.There is a surprising freedom in that posture. When life is not driven by maximizing consumption, gratitude grows. When security is not tied solely to accounts and assets, dependence on God deepens.Their example reminds us that peace is not found in having everything, but in needing less and sharing more.What We Can Learn TodayThe monks did not reject money. They reoriented it. They used resources to:Depend on GodCare for their communitiesPractice hospitalityServe the poorTheir lives challenge modern assumptions about success, security, and sufficiency. They invite believers to examine not just how money is used, but what role it plays in shaping the heart.Perhaps their most enduring lesson is this: Financial wisdom is not measured by accumulation, but by alignment—with God, with others, and with the purposes of His Kingdom.Ancient as it may seem, that vision speaks directly to our moment.———————————————————————————————————————Dr. Shane Enete's full article, “Monk Finances: The Economic Brilliance of Early Christian Monks,” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

Belonging and inner life can feel exhausting when connection depends on holding everything together. This episode explores why that fatigue isn't failure, but a signal to anchor belonging beyond roles, performance, and relational responsibility.There is a quiet exhaustion that doesn't come from conflict, failure, or broken relationships.It comes from believing that belonging depends on your steadiness, your usefulness, or your ability to hold things together.In this Sunday episode of The Recalibration, we move into Vertical Alignment — the place where identity is anchored beyond human roles, nervous system strategies, and relational performance.This conversation is especially for high-capacity humans who have learned early that connection often comes with responsibility. Being the adaptable one. The steady one. The one who carries emotional weight so relationships don't fracture. Over time, that pattern can create subtle burnout, spiritual exhaustion, and a quiet fear: If I stop holding everything together, will I still belong?Through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR), we don't try to solve that question with reassurance or effort. We allow belonging to relocate — from something you manage horizontally to something you receive vertically.This episode weaves together themes of identity shift, attachment, nervous system regulation, and faith, grounded in the words of Jesus of Nazareth, whose invitation — “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” — reframes belonging as presence before performance.ILR is not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy. It is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. When identity rests before it relates, relationships no longer require over-functioning. They become places of presence rather than pressure.This episode closes Week 4 by anchoring what has been noticed, released, reclaimed, reinforced, and integrated — not through momentum, but through rest.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere have I been earning belonging — and what would it feel like to rest instead?Not to fix.Not to explain.Just to notice.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

We walk by faith and not by sight! Faith bucks.com 11 False scales are an abomination to Adonai, but accurate weights please him. 2 First comes pride, then disgrace; but with the humble is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the duplicity of the treacherous destroys them. 4 On the day of wrath, wealth doesn't help; but righteousness rescues from death. 5 The righteousness of the innocent levels their way, but wickedness of the wicked makes them fall. 6 The righteousness of the upright rescues them, but the treacherous are trapped by their own intrigues. 7 When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; what he hopes for from evil comes to nothing. 8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked comes to take his place. 9 With his mouth the hypocrite can ruin his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous are delivered. 10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is joy. 11 By the blessing of the upright, a city is raised up; but the words of the wicked tear it down. 12 He who belittles another lacks good sense, whereas a person of discernment stays silent. 13 A gossip goes around revealing secrets, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence. 14 Without clever tactics an army is defeated, and victory comes from much planning. 15 He who guarantees a loan for a stranger will suffer, but refusing to underwrite is safe. 16 A gracious woman obtains honor; aggressive men obtain wealth. 17 A man who is kind does himself good, but the cruel does harm to himself. 18 The profits of the wicked are illusory; but those who sow righteousness gain a true reward. 19 Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuer of evil goes to his own death. 20 The crooked-hearted are an abomination to Adonai, but those sincere in their ways are his delight. 21 Depend on it: the evil will not go unpunished; but the offspring of the righteous will escape. 22 Like a gold ring in the snout of a pig is a beautiful woman who lacks good sense. 23 The righteous desire only good, but what the wicked hope for brings wrath. 24 Some give freely and still get richer, while others are stingy but grow still poorer. 25 The person who blesses others will prosper; he who satisfies others will be satisfied himself. 26 The people will curse him who withholds grain; but if he sells it, blessings will be on his head. 27 He who strives for good obtains favor, but he who searches for evil — it comes to him! 28 He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will flourish like sprouting leaves. 29 Those who trouble their families inherit the wind, and the fool becomes slave to the wise. 30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls. 31 If the righteous are paid what they deserve here on earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!

Ao contribuírem para a perda da biodiversidade do planeta, empresas mundo afora estão cavando a própria cova – e não fazem nada, ou muito pouco, para reverter os riscos que pesam sobre elas mesmas. Um relatório publicado nesta segunda-feira (9) apresenta as conclusões de três anos de pesquisas sobre uma relação que é, ao mesmo tempo, de dependência e de destruição. Lúcia Müzell, da RFI em Paris O estudo da respeitada Plataforma Intergovernamental de Ciência e Política para Biodiversidade e Serviços Ecossistêmicos (IPBES), conhecido como “o IPCC da biodiversidade”, alerta que todos os negócios dependem da natureza. Entretanto, as atividades econômicas resultaram na redução de 40% dos estoques do capital natural a partir de 1992, aponta o texto. “O crescimento da economia global ocorreu à custa de uma imensa perda de biodiversidade, que agora representa um risco sistêmico crítico e generalizado para a economia, a estabilidade financeira e o bem-estar humano”, afirma o documento, elaborado por especialistas de 75 países, incluindo consultas a comunidades indígenas e tradicionais. O texto adverte empresas, corporações e o setor financeiro que o modo sobre o qual estruturam as suas atividades – majoritariamente predatórias – impulsiona o declínio da natureza e “nem sempre é compatível com um futuro sustentável”. “O fundamental é que os especialistas detalharam a exposição das empresas à perda de biodiversidade, como elas podem medir o seu impacto e as suas dependências, e assim entender os riscos. É a primeira vez que atingimos esse nível de detalhamento, com esta quantidade de especialistas e com a presença de 150 governos”, resumiu Matt Jones, um dos três copresidentes do trabalho, apresentado na conclusão da 12ª sessão plenária do IPBES, em Manchester (Inglaterra). “Com uma clareza inédita, o relatório ajuda as empresas a entenderem o que elas precisam fazer agora.” Dependência direta ou indireta – mas todas dependem Essa dependência pode ser óbvia, como na agricultura ou na mineração, ou nem tão clara à primeira vista, como nas tecnologias digitais. “Pode ser de uma maneira muito direta, como no caso do agronegócio, que depende diretamente dos solos, de polinização, de água etc., mas também cadeias indiretas. Uma empresa que está desenvolvendo inteligência artificial depende de recursos que estão na nuvem e necessariamente precisa de uma série de componentes primários que vêm da natureza, depende de água para resfriar os seus servidores” explicou à RFI Rafael Loyola, coordenador de um dos capítulos do relatório e diretor da Fundação Brasileira de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. “Quando as empresas começarem a entender que o risco de perda de biodiversidade e de degradação da natureza é um risco material, a mentalidade começa a mudar e as empresas vão começar a internalizar esses custos.” Conforme o estudo, em 2023, os fluxos globais de financiamento público e privado com impactos negativos diretos sobre a natureza chegaram a US$ 7,3 trilhões. Desse valor, um terço foram gastos públicos em subsídios que são prejudiciais ao meio ambiente. No caso do Brasil, Loyola ressalta que os incentivos à agricultura de baixo carbono representam uma minoria do pacote total de recursos disponibilizados para o setor. “A gente está falando em cortar subsídios que geram impacto ou pelo menos reorientá-los, para que não sejam, em sua maioria, atividades impactantes. Estamos falando eventualmente de taxas e benefícios fiscais para as atividades positivas”, exemplificou. “O governo tem um papel estruturante, que é importante para o mercado.” Desconhecimento afeta a proteção A mensuração dos danos é insuficiente, contribuindo para que os danos à natureza sejam minimizados tanto em termos políticas públicas, quanto na alocação de investimentos por bancos e o setor financeiro. Menos de 1% das empresas reporta seus impactos sobre a biodiversidade, nota o estudo. “Elas vão ter que avaliar isso na cadeia de valor que têm e comparar opções entre os seus fornecedores, por exemplo. E obviamente, em um nível mais alto das empresas, olhar para a sua estratégia e ver se ela gera valor porque está alinhada à natureza, e não porque está degradando a natureza. Assim eles poderão redirecionar os seus investimentos”, complementa o especialista brasileiro. Em 2023, apenas US$ 220 bilhões foram direcionados para atividades que contribuem para a conservação e restauração da biodiversidade – ou seja, 3% do valor mobilizado em atividades prejudiciais à natureza. Muitas dos negócios que apostam na conservação de espécies não têm conseguido gerar receitas suficientes para prosperarem, indica o texto. Recomendações O estudo traz uma lista de 100 recomendações para agentes públicos, privados e da sociedade civil promoverem uma “mudança transformadora”, ressaltando que um dos problemas é a falta de informação sobre as oportunidades que o caminho da preservação representa.   Medidas como aumentar a eficiência, reduzir o desperdício e as emissões de CO2 beneficiam a biodiversidade. Um maior engajamento junto às comunidades locais, detentoras de conhecimentos tradicionais sobre a natureza, também está entre as recomendações.    “Com uma relação respeitosa e apropriada com povos indígenas e comunidades locais, as empresas podem tomar decisões melhores. Existem muitos conhecimentos e dados existentes e as empresas não utilizam como poderiam”, apontou Matt Jones. Para Rafael Loyola, o Brasil é um modelo de como é possível adaptar planos de negócios para torná-los sustentáveis e positivos para a natureza, com as cadeias do açaí e da castanha, na Amazônia. Falta, entretanto, dar escala a essas iniciativas. “No centro do problema, existe a necessidade de mudança de mentalidade, de se entender que a natureza é um ativo para as empresas e a sociedade, e não um problema. Só que hoje temos um conjunto de condições que fazem com que seja mais lucrativo e mais fácil desenvolver um negócio que tem impacto sobre a natureza do que um que a restaure, a recupere”, disse Loyola. “Tem um papel central do Banco Central e dos bancos de desenvolvimento de, na hora de alocar o investimento, fazer uma diligência muito bem feita e fazer um monitoramento do que está sendo reportado, para que seja possível verificar que o que está sendo dito de fato acontece.” 

Now imagine receiving a life threatening health diagnosis and not only ignoring it, but speeding up the underlying causes and drivers of what's making you unwell in the first place? Or imagine subsiding a product with public money that everyone everywhere knows contributes to and worsens that life threatening health diagnosis? Can you imagine getting that diagnosis from 97 to 99% of the doctors on earth and hoping it just works itself out? Well you don't need to imagine it, do you? We're doing it - our society - be that the deniers, the stagnant political class, or just all of us as one inter-connected species.202 years after the greenhouse cycle was first discovered, 170 years after its existence was categorically proven, the first warming scenarios presented 130 years ago, the knowledge of and momentum around understanding the science and impacts of a changing climate only increase. But like the addict committed to just one more hit, here we are - next time, next week, next year. Record emissions, 2025 as the third hottest year on record, the seventh of nine planetary boundary passed. The statistics are extensive and grim. On the show is someone who knows more about the scientific process than just about everybody else in this country and understands deeply the effects of a changing climate on our health - Doctor Nicholas Talley.Nick Talley is a gastroenterologist who's published more than 1,000 scientific papers over the course of his remarkable career, being part of the pioneering group of experts globally who have sought to understand the complex yet magical world of the human microbiome - our gut health. Nick's not on the show to chat too much about gut health but is here to speak in his capacity as Chair of Doctors for the Environment Australia - the DEA.For more than 20 years Nick has applied his masterly intellect to better understanding the science of climate change and its effects and risks to the human body and its health systems. Doctors and medical professionals played a critical role in dispelling the many deleterious risks of smoking, many forms of toxic and poisonous chemicals, and products like asbestos, and thousands of doctors here in Australia and around the world have turned their attention to carbon molecules and plastics. Through the medical fraternity - and their individual and collective commitment to doing no harm - a path of potential climate action may be more productive than many others. Taking lessons from other now banned or severely restricted products, perhaps doctors offer a salvation of irrefutable evidence in the battle against the fossil fuel lobby and their commitment to mis and disinformation about their product.What struck me is the commonality between the human health system and our microbiome and that of the world of climate science, climate change and its myriad risks and impacts. A common sense, first principles perspective offers us as individuals and a society a clear path of action - three meals a day with plenty of fresh produce, movement and enough sleep to the act of restricting fossil fuel industry expansion and ultimately hospicing the industry, supporting the transition of affected communities and ending the subsidies they receive ASAP.

Main Text: Philippians 4:10-20 (ESV) 10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 14 Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. 15 And you Philippians yourselves know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church entered into partnership with me in giving and receiving, except you only. 16 Even in Thessalonica you sent me help for my needs once and again. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that increases to your credit. 18 I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.Preaching Point: As wonderful as gift-giving and receiving are within a Christian community, we must pursue real contentment by looking beyond our circumstances and seeking the strength of Christ, which enables us to remain genuinely content in every situation.Teaching Points:Seek to Benefit Other Christians with Your Generosity (vv10, 14-16)Affirm the Great Benefits of Christian Generosity (vv. 17-20)Depend on Christ, not Things for Your Contentment (vv. 11-13)Application Questions:Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week's sermon. Why did it stand out to you? Read Galatians 6:9-10 and Romans 12:9-13. How has a lack of contentment with your own circumstances kept you from being generous with others in the past? How can genuine contentment help increase your generosity toward other believers?Read Philippians 4:17-20 and 2 Corinthians 9:11-13. According to these passages, what benefits can you expect your generosity to produce? Based on the passages above, what spiritual and practical consequences can come from a lack of generosity rooted in discontentment?Read Philippians 4:11-13 and 1 Timothy 6:6-10. What are some of the dangers of discontentment?What does leaning on Christ for strength in the area of contentment practically look like for you?

This is a "best of" episode, which I’m calling this episode “The Potential for Joy.” I know that might sound like an unexpected title for a passage about foot washing—but stay with me, because Jesus gives us a picture here that can genuinely reshape the way we think about joy and peace. We’re sitting in the tension of the Last Supper: Jesus knows the cross is coming, He knows Judas will betray Him, and He also knows all authority has been given to Him. And then—this is the shocking part—He gets up, wraps a towel around His waist, and washes His disciples’ feet. Even Judas’. What Jesus is showing us is that true spiritual power doesn’t flex—it serves. And joy isn’t just something we chase through circumstances; it’s something that grows out of love, security in Christ, and humble obedience. I’ll also give you a simple challenge for the week: spend time in Scripture (or worship) daily, and then share one thing you received with someone else. I really believe you’ll feel your joy rise—not because life got easier, but because your mind is being renewed by what’s true. What We Cover: See what real power looks like in the Kingdom of God: Jesus uses His authority to serve, not to elevate Himself. Understand the spiritual meaning behind foot washing: it’s not just hospitality—it’s a living metaphor for Jesus cleansing, loving, and forming His followers. Notice what changed Peter’s response: following Jesus means letting Him love you in the places you’d rather hide or control. Be confronted by Jesus washing Judas’ feet: love and humility aren’t based on what someone “deserves.” Reframe joy as a deeper reality, not a mood: joy grows from security in Christ + humility + obedience, even when life is hard. Learn why renewing your mind matters: transformation happens as we intentionally fill our minds with God’s Word and truth. Get a practical one-week challenge: read Scripture (or listen to worship) daily and share one verse or takeaway with someone—text it, say it, post it, anything. What Does It Mean for Me? If you want to experience life with Jesus, you have to let him love you. You have to let him care for you. You have to let him see you for who you really are, which is a person who does need to be cleansed, right? And Jesus is saying to them, like, hey, you don't need to do this over and over again. It's not like a baptism over and over again. You already know me, you're clean and you're in me, but this is an act of me caring for you. This is an ongoing, this is what ongoing relationship looks like with me. What I'm doing for you, I am asking you do to for others.

What if the world hurt you a little more than it hurts others? We start from that sensitivity to explain autism as a valid way of being—one with real challenges and deep strengths. From early signs to adulthood, we share a practical roadmap for understanding what's happening inside the nervous system and how to adjust the environment so the person feels safe, seen, and capable.We talk about early signs, about masking—what many girls and highly observant people learn in order to fit in—and the cost it can take in anxiety, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. We define a meltdown as an overload response, not an act of manipulation, and we detail what to do in the moment: lower stimulation, talk less, offer a calm space, and stay present. Then we show how to identify triggers like hunger, fatigue, noise, or unexpected changes—and why the question “What is this trying to communicate?” opens more doors than “Why are they doing this?”At school, we suggest supports that can transform the day: visual schedules, step-by-step instructions, advance warnings, breaks, headphones, sensory tools, and a safe place to regulate. At home, we replace guilt with information and perfection with presence: when the family understands, the home becomes a base of calm. We describe intervention goals centered on functional communication, emotional regulation, flexibility, authentic social skills, and self-esteem—along with coordinating with the school and addressing sensory needs. We also cover common co-occurring experiences such as ADHD, anxiety, sleep issues, and selective eating, with realistic plans that include sleep hygiene, movement, and clear language for asking for help or a break.If you're an adult and you suspect you may be on the spectrum, we explore how an evaluation can bring relief and a new script: it wasn't laziness—it was neurodiversity. We close by remembering that a person's worth doesn't depend on camouflage, but on what can bloom when they feel safe.

Caleb Froedge discusses Psalm 85:9-10—“Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.”

Isaiah 26:3-4.You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.Wow … perfect peace. Who doesn't want that? But the promise of perfect of peace only comes how? Placing full trust and fixing our thoughts on God. Another way to communicate this would be to always have a bigger focus on God than any problem.With this in mind listen again to the passageListen to this passage in The Message Bible: People with their minds set on you,  you keep completely whole, Steady on their feet,  because they keep at it and don't quit. Depend on God and keep at it because in the Lord God you have a sure thing.To work toward complete wholeness, we must set our minds on God. Depend on Him.What would it look like if next time we have an insurmountable problem… instead of thinking, fixing our eyes on the problem, we fix our eyes on God. Think about Him and His power. How might that change our experience?Listen to our original verse once more: You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!Let's pray together: “Heavenly Father, I long for peace. I want balance, to be steady. To have my feet on a rock. Help me to fix my thoughts on You, to keep my eyes on You and not the problems and challenges of my life…not to deny them but to defer them to You. Where they belong. As above, so below.”

THE COLLAPSE OF THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Fitton-Brown explains how the fall of the Iranian regime would devastate its regional proxies, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias, which depend on IRGC funding and training. Without Tehran's "big brother" support, these groups would likely be forced to make accommodations with local governments. He also notes Hezbollah's role as an international drug cartel.

Isaías 40:31 Esta semana celebro 20 años como sobreviviente de cáncer. ¡Difícilmente parece posible! ¡Mis hijos pequeños han crecido y soy abuela de tres hermosos nietos! La promesa de Dios a través de Isaías en nuestro versículo anterior fue que cuando estemos cansados, volaremos como las águilas. ¿Cómo es eso posible? La promesa subyacente es que nuestras alas se levantarán y el viento atrapará debajo. No es nuestra fuerza lo que hace que nos elevemos, sino que Él nos levanta a ti ya mí y nos saca de nuestros lugares cansados, con Su poder. Después de dos cirugías mayores, quimioterapia y radiación, no estaba lo suficientemente fuerte físicamente para hacer nada por mi cuenta, pero encontré fortaleza espiritual en las páginas de las promesas de Dios. Escribí mis pensamientos. Dependía de Dios para que me diera energía cuando me sentía débil. Y celebré la más pequeña de las victorias incluso cuando no parecía gran cosa. Cuando miro hacia atrás en las páginas de ese diario, no veo a una madre joven con cáncer, sino a una mujer de fe que pone su confianza en Dios durante un momento difícil. ¿Estás agotada hoy? ¿Te sientes mareada? No estás sola. Puedes confiar en Él para levantar tus alas, para darte nuevas fuerzas y poder, a medida que dependes de Él cada día. 

The UN has a new refugee chief: Barham Salih is the former president of Iraq. He takes over as high commissioner for refugees in January 2026. Salih may be a surprise pick. The head of UNHCR, the UN's refugee agency, has almost always been a European. Just as rare: The new refugee chief has actually been a refugee. But does a change at the top really address the power imbalances refugees face in the aid sector? Revisit our series, Power Shift, which puts decision-makers – and those affected by their choices – at the same table.  In this episode, Hafsar Tameesuddin, a Rohingya activist and refugee, speaks to Raouf Mazou, a senior UNHCR official. They talk about passports and privilege, and try to find common ground. ––– Power Shift is an experiment in dialogue that puts decision-makers in aid and philanthropy and those affected by their decisions in honest, one-on-one conversations about the aid sector's inequalities. ___ Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube, or search "The New Humanitarian" in your favourite podcast app.   You can find transcripts of all podcasts on our website.

If your confidence rises and falls with praise, paychecks, or likes, you're outsourcing your worth. In this Hard Reset episode, Kelly Siegel calls out one of the most dangerous traps in modern life: letting jobs, bosses, numbers, relationships, and social media decide how valuable you feel. Kelly gets personal about growing up chasing approval, tying self-worth to performance, and riding the emotional rollercoaster of external validation. Then he breaks down the truth: Your worth is not rented. It's owned. When your value comes from discipline, integrity, and promises you keep to yourself, no one can take it from you. The job can change. The numbers can dip. The applause can disappear. But internal worth makes you untouchable. Key Takeaways

Mark 4:35–41; Mark 5:1–2035 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” 5 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!” 9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. 11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. 14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region. 18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. INTRODUCTION: A "JESUS" Series JESUS HAS POWER OVER NATURE (Mark 4:35–41)JESUS HAS POWER OVER DARKNESS (Mark 5:1–20) JESUS HAS THE POWER TO REDEEM AND SEND (Mark 5:18–20) Conclusion

What if joy isn't the result of a better season—but the fuel that carries you through the wilderness? In Advent Part 3: Joy, we explore a deeper, biblical understanding of joy that goes far beyond fleeting happiness or emotional highs. Drawing from Isaiah 35, this message reveals that joy often arrives before circumstances change—because joy is anchored in who God is, not what we see. This sermon reminds us that: Joy is not fragile or circumstantial Joy is not something we manufacture Joy is formed by the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer Joy is an act of rebellion against despair Jesus did not wait for the world to be fixed before entering it. He came into the wilderness—and joy came with Him. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for life to improve before you could breathe again… this message is for you.
