Pastor Matt starts a mini series on pursuing the presence of God

This week, Jake and Bob begin a two part series on desire and how it relates to sin. They discuss how sin arises from a desire for good and how our woundedness shapes these patterns of sin. Rather than suppressing our desires, Jake and Bob reflect on the goodness of desire and the importance of rightly ordering it through prayer. Through personal stories and movie references, they end by walking you through practical ways to identify the holy desires beneath your struggles.   Key Points: Behind every disordered desire is a holy desire, an unmet need, an unhealed wound, and a hidden pattern of sin. Sin arises from a desire for the good Every time we experiencing longing, we are experiencing a desire for God To stop patterns of sin, we must first recognize the underlying desire Self reliance is the false belief that the satisfaction of our deepest desires is completely up to us. Desire is an essential element of the Christian life.  God desires our wholehearted devotion and places desire on our hearts so we seek and love Him Movies, music, and stories can reveal and awaken our deepest desires. They show us what moves our hearts and what we deeply long for.   Resources: Unwanted: How Our Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing by Jay Stringer One Desire by Hillsong Worship   Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:23 Sin Arises from a Desire for Good 00:11:32 Self-Reliance, Deadly Wounds, and the Anatomy of a Wound 00:16:52 We Cannot Escape Our Desire for God 00:20:29 The Integration of Virtue and Desire 00:22:56 The Battle of Desire 00:32:14 Awakening or Killing Right Desire 00:36:13 Can Movies Reactivate Desire?   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Dr. Glen and Phyllis continue their real-time conflict from last week, diving into the messy reality of what it looks like when one partner is thriving while the other is just beginning to recover from burnout. Recorded just moments after a morning conflict, this episode captures the raw, unscripted reality of navigating relationship pain when one person has no reserves left and the other is wondering when things will feel "normal" again. Glen and Phyllis, along with host Tera Wages, explore the invisible weight of mental and emotional labor in relationships, how partners experience the same events differently and arrive at different emotional places, the fear and uncertainty of not knowing how long a partner's pain will last, identity crisis and what it means to feel completely empty of reserves, the importance of getting curious instead of trying to fix, why processing pain 10,000 times is actually healthy (not a problem), how to support a partner who is in a season of deep transition, and the power of doing the Core Emotion Wheel regularly, especially during hard seasons. You'll learn why one partner can feel like they "sprinted" across the finish line while the other "crawled," how to recognize when mental/emotional labor is just as taxing as physical labor, the difference between desire and capacity in your body, why it's crucial to turn toward your partner and share your emotions in the moment, how to invite your partner back into connection when they miss with you, why identity pain is the greatest pain and requires the most patience, and the importance of slowing down and asking "Ooh, tell me more" instead of problem-solving. Whether you're the partner crawling across the finish line or the one wondering when your spouse will "bounce back," this episode offers permission to feel all of it, process it together, and remember that you're not broken—you're just human.Chapters:00:00:00 - Disclaimer00:02:30 - "I Don't Know If This Is a 5 Year or 25 Year Plan"00:05:50 - Phyllis's Perspective: "I'm Still Discovering Me"00:10:40 - The Identity Crisis: Selling the Company and Losing a Lane00:13:00 - Learning to Feel Emotions for the First Time: "Oh, That's What Burnout Feels Like"00:21:05 - "I Have No Reserves": A New Experience00:22:10 - Desire vs. Capacity: Learning to Listen to Your Body00:24:10 - Different Experiences at the Finish Line: "I Crawled, You Sprinted"00:40:00 - Identity Pain Is the Greatest Pain00:42:00 - "I Just Want You to Turn to Me"00:47:20 - The Lifeline: Using the Core Emotion Wheel in Hard SeasonsLinks and Resources:Connection Codes WebsiteTake the Connection Codes AssessmentConnection Codes CoachingWatch previous episodes on navigating conflictConnect with us on Instagram: @connectioncodes

In this episode of the Medical Sales Podcast, Samuel sits down with medtech strategist and creator Omar M. Khateeb to unpack how startups, reps, and leaders can win attention and turn it into revenue in 2025. Omar shares why LinkedIn is still the #1 starting point, when to expand to X, Meta, and YouTube, and how senior leaders at brands like Intuitive and Zimmer use storytelling to engineer markets. They dig into what actually gets attention (novelty, unpredictability, depth), why “goals” matter less than the systems behind them, and how to think about changing minds through desire, social proof, and early adopters. You'll hear practical content rhythms (start with 3 posts/week), ways to leverage AI without sounding generic, and how founders and reps can build trust with transparency, consistency, and real value. They also hit the creator mindset: stop over planning, start publishing, seek inspiration, and measure what moves the business not just likes. If you're trying to break in, become a top performer, or scale a medtech brand, this conversation gives you the playbook to create, engage, and convert.

We reacted to the best (and worst!) advice you shared about navigating your twenties. From finding faith-filled mentors to practical hacks like travel credit cards, we covered it all—yes, even a slightly controversial convo about giving up a dog. We laughed, we disagreed, and we got real about everything from building community to trusting God's voice in seasons of uncertainty. Whether we're looking back on our twenties or walking through them now, this episode reminded us how important it is to stay rooted in Jesus, go all in with our people, and keep saying yes to what He's doing.

Mismatched sex drives in marriage? You're not alone—and it's not a problem to fix, but an opportunity to grow together. Most couples (up to 90%!) will experience periods where their sexual desires don't line up perfectly. It's completely normal—and it's a chance to build deeper understanding, communication, and compassion in your relationship. Getting honest about differences means you can meet each other where you are, as a team. This conversation is full of encouragement for the couple (or the spouse) who is feeling the disconnect from the different drives. Join Dr. Kim and J. Parker as they talk about normalizing this topic and making your marriage (and sex life) awesome. Episode Highlights: Majority of couples face the struggle of mismatched sex drives. It's important that the lines of communication are open when talking about desire, frequency and expectation. Open, ongoing communication is key to building intimacy.  The way we think about intimacy is often shaped by cultural messages, church teaching, or our upbringing.   Quotes from Today's Episode: Mismatched sex drives aren't the exception—they're the norm. Instead of seeing it as a sign something's wrong, view it as an opportunity to communicate, show compassion, and navigate intimacy as a team. The old script that ‘men want sex and women want romance' sells everyone short. You can crave both romance and intimacy, regardless of who in your marriage has the higher desire. A thriving sex life isn't automatic—it's something you cultivate over time, through learning, honesty, and growth together. Sometimes a gap in desire isn't about your relationship at all, but about real-life pressures. There are times when speaking up isn't nagging—it's partnership. Express what you need, but do it out of love and with respect, seeking to connect and understand, not just correct.   Questions for Reflection: When was the last time you and your spouse had a conversation about frequency?  Do you feel comfortable telling your spouse what you need in regards to physical intimacy?  What's one small step you could take this week to communicate more openly about your needs and create healthier intimacy together?   Mentioned in this Episode: Hot, Holy and Humerous J Parker is on Instagram!

Why is it that talking about desire and intimacy with your partner can feel more intimidating than any other conversation in a relationship, even when you've shared years—or decades—together? So many couples silently struggle with mismatched libido, lost spark, or simply the discomfort of broaching sensitive topics about sex and pleasure. When left unspoken, these issues have the power to erode connection and joy in long-term relationships. If you've ever wondered why desire seems to fade, or why candid discussions about passion feel off-limits, you're not alone. In this episode, listeners are invited to explore how couples can move beyond just talking about desire and actually grow it together. Through stories, scientific insights, and actionable strategies, the conversation unpacks the barriers to open communication about sexuality—from shame and defensiveness to the physical and emotional roots of low libido. Along the way, listeners will learn how to build safety, cultivate presence, and consciously turn toward intimacy, laying the foundation for a relationship that's vibrant, resilient, and full of authentic connection. Whether you're seeking new energy with your partner or looking for tools to nurture your own sexual self-awareness, this episode is packed with practical guidance to help you rediscover your spark—together. Dr. Diane Mueller, ND, DAOM, is a board certified sexologist with dual doctorates in Naturopathic as well as Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She is the founder of the sex education center: MyLibidoDoc.com and hosts 'The Libido Lounge' podcast, where she helps monogamous couples create more passion, desire, hotter sex and better communication.   Episode Highlights 06:23 Dr. Diane Mueller's journey from healing vulvar pain to embracing sexual wellness. 07:48 Navigating relationship styles and lessons learned from open relationships in the pursuit of lasting passion. 10:34 The importance of open sexual communication and overcoming shame in relationships. 16:27 Building a foundation of safety and how positive feedback strengthens sexual communication. 25:24 Presence and pleasure, and the mindfulness connection for enhancing sexual experience. 30:13 Embracing emotions in sexuality, including the role of anger and emotional expression in intimacy. 36:12 Identifying dissociation and cultivating presence to deepen sexual experience. 37:47 Harnessing sex for healing by using altered states and partner practices for growth. 41:36 Personal growth and relationship success with reflections on healing, compatibility, and lasting love.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Start open and honest conversations about sex and desire with your partner to reduce shame and taboo. Give specific, positive feedback after intimacy to build safety and connection. Clearly discuss and define your relationship agreements and boundaries together. Practice being present during intimate moments through mindful breathing or grounding exercises. Try a sensual touch practice, like giving each other foot massages, while focusing on sensation and awareness. Reflect on any personal beliefs or shame around sexuality and seek ways to address or release them. Take time to identify your own turn-ons and communicate these clearly to your partner. Use physical intimacy as an opportunity to process emotions, such as through movement, sound, or affirmations.   Mentioned Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) Revive Your Love Life: 5 Easy Steps for MindBlowing Orgasms and Romance (link) (Free ebook) The Libido Quiz (quiz) YourUnique Sex Language (quiz) Libido Lounge (podcast) ERP 489: Flow State and Sexual Connection: A New Dimension of Intimacy — An Interview with Emily Jamea ERP 362: Understanding & Increasing Sexual Desire — An Interview with Dr. Lori Brotto Evolve in Love (program) Evolve In Love Discovery Session with Dr. Jessica Higgins (Acuity booking link)   Connect with Dr. Diane Mueller Websites: mylibidodoc.com Facebook: facebook.com/groups/1678228482662878 YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCfWNwoCl4f4WMHpagB2KQsw Instagram: instagram.com/mylibidodoc  

The word “desperate” has two meanings in English: the etymological meaning of the hopelessness and the more modern meaning of strongly desiring. Both of these senses occur in several spiritual vignettes in the Bible of people desperate for healing from God. Christians can become hopeless, but with God all things are possible. Our strength comes from Him, and our focus should be on Him, in praise. There is no problem that God cannot fix.  VF-2073 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!Today, we explore the book of Song of Solomon. This letter describes young people in love. Their passion and desire, combined with wisdom and self-control, make them a great example for young people today. For the unmarried, this will help you know if you have met the right person. For young married couples, this will help you develop the type of relationship that will flourish for decades to come. For the rest of us, there is still time! But like investing late in life, we'll need to give more each day to make a significant difference.

Today's first reading gives us the last part of the great story of the healing of Naaman the Syrian. The important military commander, seeking a cure for his leprosy, consistently humbles himself ... and finally receives that for which he had been searching. May we who also need healing imitate him in his humility!

This episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, hosted by Etienne Nichols with guest Shannon Decker, CEO of VBC1 and an expert in healthcare transformation, dives deep into the science of how adults learn, contrasting pedagogy (child-centered learning) with andragogy (adult-centered learning). The discussion reveals why traditional training methods, like handing new hires 40 SOPs to read, are often ineffective for experienced professionals in the MedTech industry.Shannon explains the core principles of andragogy: adults are self-directed, problem-centered, and bring a vast reservoir of experience to the table (schema theory). They are less motivated by sequential, externally guided learning and more by what is relevant, timely, and what is in it for them. This self-directed approach means successful training in MedTech requires catering to intrinsic motivation and providing tactile, real-world practice rather than just videos or documentation.The conversation pivots to practical applications across the medical device lifecycle. Shannon shares compelling examples, like improving physician adoption of a medical device by shifting the focus from extrinsic financial rewards and regulatory compliance to the intrinsic motivation of improving patient health outcomes. By making users part of the development process and using performance feedback to tap into a professional's competitive spirit, organizations can achieve significantly higher engagement and successful adoption of new technologies.Key Timestamps[03:20] What is Andragogy? How adults learn differently than children.[04:45] The role of schema theory and existing experience in adult learning.[05:40] Why the traditional "drop 40 SOPs" on a new hire's desk fails adults.[07:15] Case Study: The challenge of low medical device adoption and the missing education piece.[08:50] The power of tactile practice and addressing user confidence (e.g., misusing the device).[11:00] Contrasting Andragogy (self-directed) vs. Pedagogy (directed/sequential).[14:10] Applying adult learning to device development: solving the user's problem.[16:45] How to boost adoption: Intrinsic motivation and making users part of the process.[18:20] The key physician motivator: Desire to help people over money or administrative requirements.[21:10] Behavior science: Focusing on influential champions and mid/top performers for diffusion.[22:45] The "Gold Star" effect: Using competitive spirit and relevant KPIs for motivation.Quotes"The way we come to learning with adults is different... The best way that they learn is coming up with things that are relevant to them, things that are timely, things that they need. They want to be interested." - Shannon Decker"I don't talk about the money that they're going to make... What I talk to them about is by paying attention and doing these screening exams, you're going to have an impact on the overall health of your patient." - Shannon DeckerTakeawaysStop Relying on Documentation for Training: Adult learners need tactile input and practice. Replace or supplement large volumes of SOP reading with project team involvement, practical exercises, and hands-on use to build confidence and retention.Focus on the "What's In It For Me" (WIIFM): When designing a medical device or a training program, identify the user's intrinsic motivations. For clinicians, this is often the desire to improve patient outcomes—lead with this message rather than revenue or regulatory burden.Build Champions, Not Just Compliance: Instead of solely focusing energy on low performers or the loudest voices, identify respected, influential leaders (champions) to pilot and advocate for new technology. Their positive experience drives the Law of Respect and encourages wider...

Wrecked. YET. Renewed. - "Wrecked by Desire" - 2 Samuel 11 The story of David and Bathsheba is a story of saying “yes” when God says “no.” David's unchecked desire led to heartbreak, betrayal, and lasting family pain. But even in the wreckage, God's grace breaks through. Jesus—called the Son of David—redeems what's been ruined and invites us to do the same: to break the cycle and grow by learning the power of “no.”

A historical, halachic and cultural exploration of women's celebration of Simchas Torah. Through a poll of women's experiences, a deep dive into relevant halachic and historical sources, and an analysis of Rabbi Shlomo Riskin's visit to the Lubavitcher Rebbe asking if the women of his community could dance with the Torah, we explore questions like: Is Simchas Torah a “men's holiday”? Is there an essential difference between men and women's relationship to this day? How did the custom to dance with the Torah develop? Can women dance with the Torah? Should women dance at all?Join us in exploring women's relationship to this joyful, celebratory holiday.

Is sexuality a path to higher consciousness or a distraction dressed up as spirituality? In this episode, Thom explores the Vedic view on sexual energy, why so-called “harnessing” may be the opposite of what you think, and the hidden cost of “chasing the active ingredient.“Thom also flips manifestation on its head, revealing why desire follows what is already unfolding and how transcendence twice daily changes the game.Episode Highlights[00:45] Harnessing[05:47] Active-Ingredient Mentality[10:04] A Lack of Fundamental Fulfillment[12:45] A Very Clever Marketing Idea[15:05] Perpetually Orgasmic[17:58] Transcendence is Everything[19:32] The Universe is Your Sugar Daddy[21:24] Desire is Secondary to Manifestation[26:03] Q - What's the relationship between creation energy and sexuality?[26:09] A - Enhanced Repertoire[30:21] What Does Sexuality Mean?Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

For the Sake of His Name Midpoint Series (Part 2)Faith believes God's promises and reveals itself through ongoing obedience—the “obedience of faith.” But at its core, faith's desire is for something better; it longs for what God has promised more than the comforts of this world, trusting and obeying Him as it seeks a better country and a lasting home with Him.Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on October 12, 2025Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.churchLearn about our For the Sake of His Name 2-Year Discipleship Journey:https://foothill.church/FTSOHN

"Send me a text"If you're running a supplement brand doing $2-5 million per year and feel stuck at your current level, I'm going to share something with you that most agencies will never tell you.Because they don't know how people really buy supplements.At Creative Thirst, we've spent years analyzing what separates supplement brands that break through revenue ceilings from those that plateau. After optimizing pages, tracking millions in conversion data, and interviewing thousands of buyers, we discovered something critical:There are four distinct psychological forces that influence how people by supplements: Trust, Belief, Desire, and Hope.Most supplement marketers and founders stumble through these accidentally, optimizing the wrong things at the wrong time.Have you heard of the supplement company called Ritual? When we reverse-engineered their entire growth strategy, we discovered that they They masterfully implemented TWO of these forces—Trust and Hope. That execution alone built a $250M company.But they left Desire and Belief completely unoptimized.

Inspired by Mandy Patinkin's famous Princes Bride quote, this episode explores what it means to live after the struggle, after the heartache, after healing. “I've been in the revenge business so long, now that it is over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life.” What happens when the struggle is over, when the story you have lived by for so long, no longer fits? Amy Logan, certified coach and creator of The Wildflower Sessions, invites you into an honest conversation about identity, release and the power of choosing peace after pain. This is an episode for anyone who has ever wondered, “What now?" https://www.amyloganlife.com/store/p/wildflowersessions

WelcomeHello, Lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I am joined by the extraordinary Sevda Hussain. Sevda's story is one of resilience, rebellion, and deep embodiment. From a childhood marked by abandonment to three decades in the adult industry, she discovered confidence, self-love, and the truth of living as art itself. In this conversation, we move through Persephone's underworld, into the light of dark luxury, embodiment, plus-size confidence, and the power of daring to stand fully in your truth.Episode Summary In this episode, Sevda and I walk through her extraordinary journey, a life she describes as much like Persephone, the queen of the underworld. From being left in hospital at birth and moving through over a hundred foster homes by the age of three, to three decades in the adult industry, Sevda shares how her path into the shadows taught her self-love, embodiment, and confidence as a plus-size woman. We speak about sex work as a form of therapy, the myths around desirability, and how women can dare to believe their truth. Sevda also opens up about her work in dark luxury branding, helping women not just look like art but become it, and how she continues to channel her rebel spirit into creativity, poetry, and embodiment.Key Takeaways Life Like PersephoneSevda describes her journey through abandonment, foster care, and the adult industry as a path much like Persephone, moving through the underworld to find power, beauty, and truth.Embodiment Over ImageConfidence is not about how a photo looks. It is about whether you can keep showing up in your embodiment, again and again.Curves Are DesiredThe myth that only thin women are wanted is conditioning. Desire lives in curves, softness, and truth. BBW sex work revealed what women have been taught to deny.Dark Luxury BrandingSevda creates intuitive branding that turns women into art itself. Not performance, not façade, but embodiment made visible.Rebellion as TruthBeing called a rebel is not defiance for its own sake. It is daring to challenge systems, conditioning, and shame. The real rebellion is standing in your truth.Resources and Links

Having made sure that what you are praying for is according to God's revealed will, then plead His promises, such as Matthew 7:7, Philippians 4:19, etc. Plead them in the name of Christ, asking God to give you the "desires of thine heart" (Ps. 37:4) for Christ's sake, That He may be honored in and by a Godly walk from you, and that His people may be helped and encouraged by your example. Those are pleas which God cannot deny.

When we think about financial threats, inflation, taxes, and debt are often the first that come to mind. But Scripture tells us there's a deeper, more dangerous threat—covetousness. Left unchecked, it poisons our joy, drives us to make poor financial choices, and blinds us to God's generosity.Covetousness is more than wanting what we don't have. It's a disordered desire that whispers: “I must have that to be happy, safe, or fulfilled.” Paul warns in Colossians 3:5, calling covetousness “idolatry.” Why? Because it dethrones God and places possessions on the throne of our hearts.In our finances, covetousness often manifests subtly—comparing our homes to those of our neighbors, upgrading cars that are still running well, or chasing investments out of envy. These patterns reveal misplaced worship.The Antidote: Contentment in ChristThe opposite of covetousness isn't deprivation—it's contentment. In Philippians 4:11–13, Paul testifies that he has learned contentment in every circumstance through Christ's strength.Contentment doesn't come naturally—it's cultivated. And when we trust in God's abundance, we no longer grasp at what others have. Instead, we rest in His provision. Think of Jesus feeding the 5,000: what looked like scarcity became abundance in His hands.Social media magnifies our envy, turning vacations, houses, and life stages into comparison traps. The tenth commandment—“You shall not covet”—goes straight to the heart, reminding us that God cares not just about our actions but about our desires.If you feel this struggle, take heart—you're not alone. The Spirit empowers us to shift from envy to gratitude, from restless striving to restful trust.Practical Steps to Combat CovetousnessFighting covetousness is not about self-shame—it's about redirecting our worship. Here are three practices rooted in Scripture:Practice Gratitude—1 Thessalonians 5:18 calls us to give thanks in all circumstances. Keeping a daily gratitude list shifts focus from what's missing to what God has given. Budget as Worship—A budget isn't just restrictive—it's a discipleship tool. By directing money toward giving, saving, and wise spending, we declare, “Lord, I want You to guide my resources.” Give Generously—Paul urges believers to “be rich in good works, generous and ready to share” (1 Tim. 6:18). Every gift declares that our identity is not in what we own but in who owns us.Redirecting Desire Toward ChristJesus warns in Luke 12:15: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” The rich fool who built bigger barns illustrates the danger of letting wealth replace intimacy with God.Covetousness dies when Christ becomes enough. Hebrews 13:5 reminds us: “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.'”At its root, covetousness is a worship issue. We long for what others have because our hearts are restless for the only One who satisfies. St. Augustine put it well: “You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in You.”The cure isn't less desire but rightly directed desire—desire fulfilled in Christ. When we practice gratitude, budget as worship, and live generously, we shift our gaze from possessions that perish to a Savior who is more than enough.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:We sold our house after some delays, but in the meantime, I withdrew funds from my IRA, intending to pay them back within 60 days.
