It is the darkest period of World War II...

Bring it to God! (1 Minute Devotion) - Are you carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders today? That heavy feeling in your chest?#toughquestionsforgod #questionsforgod #faith #dailydevotions #faithingodalways #godisalwaysthereWebsite: www.toughquestionsforgod.orgyoutube @ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC769G9moIYN53BNHlGNf-hA

On today's page, Zevachim 67, we learn that a woman who vows to bring a pair of birds if she gives birth to a son must actually bring two pairs—one for her vow and one for her standing obligation. This layered requirement invites us to reflect on how faith is shaped not only by what we hope for but also by what we owe, grounding gratitude in something steadier than circumstance. How might our spiritual lives change when thankfulness is not transactional? Listen and find out.

Ever ignored your gut and paid the price? Cari sits down with beloved teacher and mindfulness pioneer Trudy Goodman for a soul-stirring conversation about intuition, trust, and healing the parts of ourselves we've hidden away. Trudy vulnerably shares the ways denying her intuition led to deep personal pain, and how reclaiming it helped her rebuild a life of wisdom, creativity, and self-love.

Pastor Corbett continues our Defining Worship series by reminding us that true worship isn't just a song—it's a lifestyle marked by obedience. Using Abraham's costly obedience in Genesis 22 and the priests' empty sacrifices in Malachi 1, he shows the difference between worship rooted in surrender and worship offered with a divided heart. Drawing from Colossians 1, he calls us to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,” letting our love, service, generosity, and witness overflow as acts of worship. The challenge: identify where God is calling you to obey and let your whole life reflect the worth of Jesus. Join us every Tuesday in the LSM Buidling at 7 p.m. & follow us on instagram @lyahampton for updates!

When Australian writer Hannah Kent first travelled to Iceland at the age of 17, she had never seen snow before, and didn't speak a word of Icelandic. Living in a remote part of Iceland during the dark winter, she fell in love with the country, its landscape and its people. This experience inspired her bestselling novel, Burial Rites. She has now returned to the country that formed her identity as a writer, with a new memoir, Always Home, Always Homesick. For this episode, she spoke to host Danielle Sands about her deep love of Iceland's landscape, its traditions and its people, how you can understand the history and culture of a country through its language, and how learning a new language can alter and enrich a writer's own identity.  Hannah Kent is the author of Burial Rites, Good People and Devotion. Her memoir about her lifelong connection to Iceland, Always Home, Always Homesick, is out now.  If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

Even when life feels scattered, disappointing, or confusing, God is weaving every thread into something purposeful. Nothing is wasted. Not the pain, not the delay, not the setback. Today, your heart is going to rest in the truth that God is working all things together for your good — even the things you never would have chosen.Support Warfare Prayers Here

Devotion : Coming Down the Mountain / Luke 9:37-45 by Community Lutheran Church

Do you ever get stuck in loops of overthinking, rumination, or obsessive thoughts that drain your joy and hijack your peace?This episode is for you.In today's solo teaching, Johanna breaks down a simple yet profoundly transformative tool: the Four Questions of Inquiry, inspired by Byron Katie's book, Loving What Is. This approach helps you untangle painful thoughts, soften emotional resistance, and free your nervous system from constant tension.This practice doesn't bypass your faith or your leadership. Instead, it creates mental clarity, emotional spaciousness, and spiritual receptivity, so you can hear God more clearly and move through life with softness, trust, and inner freedom.Johanna explains how inquiry works step-by-step using real examples, including the thought “I'm doing this wrong” and the everyday frustration of “my husband should pick up his socks.” You'll learn how to recognize the hidden thoughts that keep you tense, reactive, and disconnected, and how to release them so you can return to peace, presence, and feminine receptivity.She also shares how this process ties beautifully into the Heroine's Journey (the path of feminine wholeness), helping you move out of resistance, back into embodiment, and deeper into your divine assignment.Why certain thoughts feel “true” even when they're just mental noiseThe 4 Questions of Inquiry and how to use them with any painful thoughtHow to stop fighting reality, and why acceptance is not passivityThe difference between mental resistance and aligned actionHow rumination disconnects you from your feminine flow and presenceWhy inquiry creates emotional space for God's guidanceHow to use turnarounds to expand perspective and relieve sufferingHow inquiry can be used in relationships, marriage, business, and daily lifeHow inquiry supports the Heroine's Journey: wholeness, embodiment, and inner peace“You can be right or you can be at peace. Which one will you choose?”“Our thoughts are not truth — they're stories. Some lead to freedom, some lead to suffering.”“You can't rush inquiry. It's a softening into truth, not a performance.”“The moment you stop fighting reality, you free up enormous energy to receive what God is giving you.”FREE GIFTS

In a world obsessed with being seen, liked, and followed, we're invited to rediscover the transformative power of the secret place.Drawing from Matthew 6, this exploration of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount challenges us to examine our deepest motives: Are we performing our faith for applause, or are we pursuing genuine intimacy with God? The message unveils three essential spiritual practices: giving, praying, and fasting, not as religious obligations to showcase, but as sacred rhythms that reshape us from the inside out.

The Art of Being: Embracing Mindfulness and Compassion During Challenging Times with Cortland Dahl In this enlightening episode, we delve into the transformative journey and work of Dr Cortland Dahl, a meditation expert, scientist, translator and researcher at the Center for Healthy Minds. Cort's true passion is using ancient wisdom and modern science to help people flourish. Cort shares his personal experiences from battling anxiety as a young adult to finding solace and purpose through extensive work with meditation and compassion practices during eight years living in Tibetan refugee settlements in India and Nepal. He discusses the critical role of contemplative traditions in navigating the modern world's overwhelming pace and information overload. The conversation covers the importance of shifting from a state of doing to being, the mental health epidemic, and practical techniques for cultivating inner calm and compassion. Cort offers profound insights into how we can harness our innate capacities for wisdom and compassion. The episode concludes with a beautiful guided practice led by Cort, providing listeners with a practical experience of simply being that we can take into our daily life.   Cort's work can be found here: https://cortlanddahl.com/ https://centerhealthyminds.org   00:00 Introduction to Contemplative Traditions 00:33 Struggles with Anxiety and Early Discoveries 03:21 The Impact of Modern Life on Mental Health 04:39 The Mismatch Between Evolution and Modern Society 07:10 Simple Practices for Mental Well-being 13:12 The Power of Perspective and Micro Practices 22:31 The Role of Compassion and Service 25:49 Understanding Devotion and Social Learning 28:41 The Power of Respect and Inspiration 29:32 Personal Reflections on Prince and Devotion 32:15 A Meditator's Guide to Buddhism 32:56 The Four Noble Truths and the Path to Awakening 34:37 Writing the Book: Motivation and Process 36:33 Exploring Buddhist Philosophy and Practice 39:29 Advice for Those in Pain 40:23 The Importance of Being Over Doing 50:26 A Short Guided Meditation Practice 57:59 Final Thoughts and Appreciation
