ABOUT THIS EPISODE:You ever have one of those mornings where your alarm goes off and before your feet even hit the floor, your brain's already sprinting a marathon? That was me — deep in my wake-up-and-grind era. I thought hustle meant purpose. That the more I did, the more I mattered. But here's the truth: busyness isn't purpose — it's a distraction from alignment.In this episode, we're redefining success from the inside out. You'll learn how to stop running on hustle fumes and start operating on peace fuel. We're getting real about what it means to live and lead from alignment — emotionally, spiritually, and energetically — so your peace isn't sacrificed for your productivity.Friend, this one's a heart check and a blueprint all in one. If you've been feeling stretched thin, restless, or like you're constantly doing but not becoming, this is your permission slip to slow down and sync up. Peace is not a pause in progress — it's the foundation that sustains it.

Rawrr! Prayer is good, right? But what happens when someone makes it against the law to pray?!?! Find out in this great episode!Prayer is talking to GodDaniel would continuously talk to God through prayer. Even when he was threatened to be thrown into the lion's den, Daniel would continue to pray to God.Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.– Colossians 4:2Daniel 2, Daniel 6Daniel and the Lion's DenDaniel was a very good, faithful man, who always obeyed God. He would pray to God consistently, three times a day. Daniel had a very close relationship to God due to how often he would talk to God through prayer and because of his unshakable faith. God also gave Daniel an incredible gift—Daniel was able to interpret dreams. This gift led Daniel to successfully interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The king then gave Daniel a high up position in the kingdom and gave him many gifts. Because Daniel was so smart, other wise men in the kingdom were very jealous. Their jealousy led them to convince King Darius to make a new law—that the people were only allowed to pray to the king. If people chose not to obey this law, they would be thrown in the lion's den. These jealous men knew that Daniel would never obey this law since he would pray to God several times a day.Daniel continued to pray in his room, even when he had heard about this new law. After the jealous men saw him do this, they told King Darius. This made King very upset because he cared for Daniel and tried to get him out of trouble, but knew there was no way around it. Before throwing him in the den, King Darius told Daniel “Your God, to whom you are so loyal, is going to get you out of this.” The next morning, King Darius went to check on Daniel and heard Daniel say “My God sent his angel to shut the lion's mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have wronged you, Your majesty.” Daniel had not been harmed! They both knew that Daniel was protected because he had completely trusted God and had faith in Him. Daniel had a great amount of love for the Lord. Daniel also had a deep and personal connection to God because he would intentionally talk to God all the time through prayer. Regardless of the situation he was facing, he would make time to pray. Sometimes, we can get so caught up in our daily routine, that we neglect to prioritize our quiet time with God. But the truth is, God wants to hear from us—He wants us to talk to Him because of His love for each and every one of us.I can talk to God. Questions to think about:1. Why did Daniel continue to pray, even when he knew his life would be threatened?2. Why did Daniel have such a close relationship with God?3. How can I remember to talk to God on a daily basis?

He was brilliant but arrogant, involved in a cult-like religious group, living with a woman he wasn't married to, and wanted nothing to do with Christianity.For 30 years, Monica prayed for her son. Every single day. Through tears. Through disappointment. When he moved to another city to get away from her nagging, she prayed. When he seemed to get worse instead of better, she prayed. Friends told her to give up. But she wouldn't quit.One day, a bishop saw her weeping and praying again. He said, "Woman, go your way. It is not possible that the son of so many tears should perish."That son's name was Augustine. He became one of the greatest Christian leaders in history—St. Augustine of Hippo. His writings have influenced Christianity for 1,600 years.Application: "Don't you dare give up on your 'one.' Monica prayed for 30 years. How long have you been praying? 30 days? 30 weeks?

Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--October 19, 2025 -- Pr. Kevin Krizer -- "Sent...Send!" -- 2Tim.3:14-4:514 However, continue in what you have learned and found to be true. You know who your teachers were. 15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures. They have the power to give you wisdom so that you can be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 Every Scripture passage is inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors, correcting people, and training them for a life that has God's approval. 17 They equip God's servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things. 4 I solemnly call on you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge those who are living and those who are dead. I do this because Christ Jesus will come to rule the world. 2 Be ready to spread the word whether or not the time is right. Point out errors, warn people, and encourage them. Be very patient when you teach. 3 A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. 4 People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths. 5 But you must keep a clear head in everything. Endure suffering. Do the work of a missionary. Devote yourself completely to your work.http://www.bethanylutheran.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Paul leaves Timothy behind in Ephesus to help a struggling church get back on track. One of the many issues is widows. Who is supposed to be taking care of the widows and what constitutes a widow that can be helped? Are their stipulations? What does Paul have to say about the younger widows? What about the widow who decides she isn't going to be devoted to God and just wants to liver her life the way she sees fit? We dive into all of this and more in this podcast!

Welcome to the Grace Coach Podcast! Mike and Kevin share their insights from the Book of Colossians as they dive into Chapter 4.  Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven. 2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. 7 Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother, a faithful minister and fellow servant[a] in the Lord. 8 I am sending him to you for the express purpose that you may know about our[b] circumstances and that he may encourage your hearts. 9 He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here. 10 My fellow prisoner Aristarchus sends you his greetings, as does Mark, the cousin of Barnabas. (You have received instructions about him; if he comes to you, welcome him.) 11 Jesus, who is called Justus, also sends greetings. These are the only Jews[c] among my co-workers for the kingdom of God, and they have proved a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured. 13 I vouch for him that he is working hard for you and for those at Laodicea and Hierapolis. 14 Our dear friend Luke, the doctor, and Demas send greetings. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers and sisters at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 After this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea. 17 Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.” 18 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

How can we make a lasting impact? We have been called to be lights in a dark world, ambassadors for Christ and now we're called to be salt.Matthew 5:13 tells us, "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."How can we be salt to the world?The apostle Paul gives us a great recipe for this in Colossians 4:2, 5-6:"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful... Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." >>Watch on YouTube

Andrew is joined by his longtime friend and former co-host Eric (Conscious Dominance → now DSRX) for a candid, high-signal conversation about what long-term devotion actually looks like in a D/s relationship. They trace the arc from weekly podcasting accountability to the deeper craft of polarity: owning your desires, simplifying your life so love can lead, and learning to read and steer feminine energy without shrinking it. Eric shares what changed after a serious shoulder injury, why downsizing their home unlocked leadership and focus, and how a Dominant's inner alignment turns a partner's “no” into a clean “not now”—or an eventual full-body yes. If you've ever wondered how to build a relationship that's both peaceful and wildly alive, this one's for you. ⸻ In this episode we cover • Devotion vs. obligation: why gripping to commitments isn't devotion—and how real devotion stays alive over years, not months. • The Dominant's inner work: how reactivity is often avoidance of vulnerability, and why befriending it creates true power. • “Her no mirrors your no to yourself”: reading rejection as a reflection of your own unclean energy, shame, or self-abandonment. • Chaos & order: letting feminine energy get bigger (not smaller) while providing structure, direction, and safety. • Simplify to lead: downsizing, removing mental load, and making the main thing the main thing. • Accountability & craft: weekly creation (100+ episodes), the “compound effect,” and treating relationship like a practiced craft. • Embodied peace: moving from a reactive life to dynamic peace—aliveness with acceptance, not flat-line neutrality. • Eric's updates: healing from injury, becoming ambidextrous (literally and energetically), launching DSRX with Rachel, balancing coaching, construction, and content. ⸻ Memorable lines • “If I'm willing to see what I need to see, I can be better than I am.” • “Most ‘nos' are mirrors—showing you where you haven't said yes to yourself.” • “You don't need hours of meditation to meet your edges. Devote yourself to one woman and let that mirror do its job.” • “Don't make her chaos smaller—make it freer and lead it.” • “Simplify your life so love can lead. Then steer.” ⸻ ABOUT DSRX DSRX is a raw exploration of regenerative relating—where conscious leadership, holistic surrender, and intimate practice live inside our long-term love story. The podcast, hosted by Eric from Aerosha, dives into the lived practice (with his bride, Rachael) of building relationships on unyielding self-trust and shared depth instead of default. Evolving beyond traditional D/s, DSRX names a new terrain: Devotion and Service that honors the Rx cycles of rapture, rupture, and repair. Where recalibration and integration become essential medicine for deepening intimacy, erotic connection, and organic power exchange. Each week, you'll find tactical tools and honest stories about the challenges of leadership, the dynamics of expression, and the necessity of hosting presence—widening the aperture into desire, artistry, and the many paradoxes of polarity.

Pranidhana is the practice of devotion—shifting from parenting through personal identity to parenting as an instrument of the Divine. This path unfolds through satsang (inspiration), lower seva (service with struggle), sadhana (inner work), and finally, Higher seva (selfless service). Santosha, invites us to smile – arising when our actions are offered with sincerity and trust, leading to a calm, joyful presence in parenting. Together, these practices invite us to parent with less control and more allowance.Interested in registering for our live, virtual course with Vivekji and other guides?

Rawrr! Prayer is good, right? But what happens when someone makes it against the law to pray?!?! Find out in this great episode!Prayer is talking to GodDaniel would continuously talk to God through prayer. Even when he was threatened to be thrown into the lion's den, Daniel would continue to pray to God.Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.– Colossians 4:2Daniel 2, Daniel 6Daniel and the Lion's DenDaniel was a very good, faithful man, who always obeyed God.

Why did Daniel continue to pray, even when he knew his life would be threatened?2. Why did Daniel have such a close relationship with God?3. How can I remember to talk to God on a daily basis?

In the debut episode of their Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonado preview the season for the pivotal wide receiver group. Can transfers Trebor Pena, Devonte Ross and Kyron Hudson make the impact this team sorely lacked from the position last season, in falling short against Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Orange Bowl?

In this episode, Dan and Steve Fouts are joined by Mitchell Conway to explore a quote from Henry David Thoreau: “It's not a man's duty as a matter of course, to devote himself to the eradication of any, even the most enormous wrong, but it is his duty at least to wash his hands of it.” Mitchell shares his diverse experiences in education, emphasizing the importance of philosophy in teaching across various age groups. The discussion explores the role of age in philosophical discourse, the transformative potential of education, and the significance of the Teach Different Method. Together they unpack Thoreau's views on civil disobedience, reflecting on the ethical responsibilities individuals hold in the face of injustice.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 00:10 - Mitch's Background in Philosophy and Education 02:14 - The Role of Philosophy in Education 04:55 - Philosophy for All Ages 07:19 - The Misconception of Youth and Philosophy 10:24 - The Importance of Open-Mindedness 13:18 - The Teach Different Method Explained 16:22 - Thoreau's Quote on Civil Disobedience 18:54 - Interpreting Thoreau's Message 22:02 - Real-World Applications of Thoreau's Ideas 24:45 - The Duty to Act Against Injustice 27:49 - The Complexity of Ethical Obligations 30:57 - Conclusion and Reflections on Responsibility 41:12 - Thoreau's Moral Duty and Civil Disobedience 43:42 - The Complexity of Ethical Obligations 44:43 - Criteria for Opposing Injustice 46:17 - Exploring Civil Disobedience 48:57 - Philosophy Walk on Civil Disobedience 49:44 - The Role of Education in Philosophy 51:07 - Teach Different Outro  Image Source: National Portrait Gallery, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons   

I want to thank everyone all my fans for watching and supporting me throughout these years and want to let them know that they are now officially members of the moonlight, madness family

Integrity is a sought-after virtue. While we want to be known as people of integrity, we must admit that we have things hidden in our hearts that we don't want people to know. King David wanted to be a man of integrity, and in Psalm 101, he wrote about his desire to walk faithfully with God. The psalm gives us practical ideas on how we can both walk in integrity and devote ourselves to the Lord.

What would you say you're devoted to these days? Would it be entertainment or work and money… or maybe you're family? But how many of us would actually say we're devoted to prayer? In chapter four verse two we read, “Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” It's a rather brief statement, but it's packed with helpful instruction for our daily walk.

Being re-devoted with good works

Rawrr! Prayer is good, right? But what happens when someone makes it against the law to pray?!?! Find out in this great episode!Prayer is talking to GodDaniel would continuously talk to God through prayer. Even when he was threatened to be thrown into the lion's den, Daniel would continue to pray to God.Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.– Colossians 4:2Daniel 2, Daniel 6Daniel and the Lion's DenDaniel was a very good, faithful man, who always obeyed God. He would pray to God consistently, three times a day. Daniel had a very close relationship to God due to how often he would talk to God through prayer and because of his unshakable faith. God also gave Daniel an incredible gift—Daniel was able to interpret dreams. This gift led Daniel to successfully interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The king then gave Daniel a high up position in the kingdom and gave him many gifts. Because Daniel was so smart, other wise men in the kingdom were very jealous. Their jealousy led them to convince King Darius to make a new law—that the people were only allowed to pray to the king. If people chose not to obey this law, they would be thrown in the lion's den. These jealous men knew that Daniel would never obey this law since he would pray to God several times a day.Daniel continued to pray in his room, even when he had heard about this new law. After the jealous men saw him do this, they told King Darius. This made King very upset because he cared for Daniel and tried to get him out of trouble, but knew there was no way around it. Before throwing him in the den, King Darius told Daniel “Your God, to whom you are so loyal, is going to get you out of this.” The next morning, King Darius went to check on Daniel and heard Daniel say “My God sent his angel to shut the lion's mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have wronged you, Your majesty.” Daniel had not been harmed! They both knew that Daniel was protected because he had completely trusted God and had faith in Him. Daniel had a great amount of love for the Lord. Daniel also had a deep and personal connection to God because he would intentionally talk to God all the time through prayer. Regardless of the situation he was facing, he would make time to pray. Sometimes, we can get so caught up in our daily routine, that we neglect to prioritize our quiet time with God. But the truth is, God wants to hear from us—He wants us to talk to Him because of His love for each and every one of us.I can talk to God. Questions to think about:1. Why did Daniel continue to pray, even when he knew his life would be threatened?2. Why did Daniel have such a close relationship with God?3. How can I remember to talk to God on a daily basis?

A submissive wife must always prioritize protecting her marriage. This means avoiding any friendship or interaction with another man that could threaten the trust in your relationship.Infidelity isn't only physical—it's deleting messages, hiding conversations, or entertaining emotional intimacy with someone other than your husband. If you're keeping secrets, you're already being unfaithful.Loyalty means not just staying out of trouble but not walking toward it.Avoid situations where temptation can grow. Avoid secrecy. Devote yourself fully to your husband. Your marriage is sacred; treat it that way.

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart.- Col. 4:2 (NLT) In this episode you'll find three simple ideas for praying with an aleart mind and thankful heart. harvestministryteams.com/friday

Colossians 4:2, "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." A missionary some years ago, returning from Southern Africa, gave a description of the work which had been accomplished there through the preaching of the gospel. Among other things, he pictured a little incident of which he had been an eye-witness. He said that one morning he saw a converted African chieftain sitting under a palm tree with his Bible open before him. Every now and then he cast his eyes on his book and read a passage, and then he paused and looked up a little while, and his lips were seen to be in motion. Thus he continued alternately to look down on the Scriptures, and then to turn his eyes upward towards Heaven. The missionary passed by without disturbing the chieftain; but a little while afterwards he mentioned to him what he had seen, and asked him why it was that sometimes he read, and sometimes he looked up? The chieftain replied, "I look down to the Book, and God speaks to me; and then I look up in prayer, and I speak to the Lord--and in this way we keep up a holy talk with each other." I would set this picture before you, as being the best pattern of fellowship with God--the heart hearkening to the voice of God, and then replying in prayer and praise. "Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need!" Hebrews 4:16

However, surfing the internet can become an addictive tidal wave.Do you start and end your day online? Are you constantly checking your emails and texts and feeling the need to respond immediately? If so, it might be time to try something radical and life-changing.Unplug. Consider an internet fast. Go online only for work purposes for the next five days.
