Mary's annointing of the feet of Jesus is one of the most profound moments of tender-hearted devotion seen throughout the Bible. She models the unashamed, total, and costly price we should place as we come before the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

In this message, Pastor Emmanuel Akognon explores how the early church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, lived in unity, devotion, and divine purpose. Drawing from Acts 2:41–47, he highlights the marks of a Spirit-filled community devotion to God’s Word, fellowship, prayer, generosity, and the daily growth that comes when believers live under the Spirit’s power.

Freedom is a precious gift...
Do not follow from afar. When distance creeps in, comfort matters more than obedience., prayer turns into a task, and adoration into observation.Peter once did this, but we see how Jesus restored him. Distances creates fear and invites in denial. But grace calls you back.Draw near to God and close the gap today.

In this potent conversation, I sit down with Yarrow Kae—a mentor, spiritual guide, healer, and clinically trained therapist who bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychology—to explore what it really means to embody the truth of who you are. Yarrow's story is nothing short of extraordinary: at 19, she downloaded enlightenment on the dance floor of a rave, setting her on a decades-long journey of integration, nervous system healing, and self-mastery. Her work now blends somatics, depth psychology, energetics, and spirituality to help others shift at a cellular level and live from their unique magnetic vibration.Together, we dive deep into the subtle ways our attachment patterns, shame stories, and identity constructs keep us bound—often in ways that feel “productive” or “good.” From perfectionism and people-pleasing to the spiritual bypassing that hides beneath our self-development work, this conversation unveils the unconscious habits that keep us safe but small. Yarrow shares how nervous system regulation and secure attachment create the foundation for true embodiment—and how the willingness to be radically honest with ourselves is the real portal to freedom.If you've been craving deeper self-trust, or if you're ready to stop performing the “healed” version of yourself and start living as the embodied one—this episode will speak straight to your soul. You'll walk away feeling both challenged and seen, with new language for your own evolution and practical wisdom to anchor your healing in your body.In this episode, we explore:How attachment wounds subtly shape your nervous system, identity, and relationshipsThe link between shame, anxiety, and perfectionism—and how these patterns keep us stuck in controlWhy even “productive” habits like personal growth or cleaning can become addictions rooted in shame or avoidanceThe importance of nervous system safety in receiving love, abundance, and regulationHow to identify the hidden ways you sacrifice authenticity for attachmentWhat it really means to worship at the altar of you—and how self-devotion becomes the ultimate act of sovereigntyThe power of radical honesty and self-compassion in releasing control and embodying freedomHow to alchemize rage, grief, and shame into embodied truthWhat happens when you finally allow yourself to be seen, safe, and free—on your own termsBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Yarrow Kae:Instagram: @yarrowkaeYouTube: Yarrow Kae AcademyThe Composer: heal-with-yarrow.teachable.com/p/the-composerThe Portal: heal-with-yarrow.teachable.com/p/the-portalConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List:

What if your voice was a living prayer, and the Earth herself was listening?Holy, holy. This conversation is one of my all-time favorites. I'm joined by my dear sister Reya Manna, an Earth Song Guide, healer, and founder of the SongKeeper School, whose life is devoted to restoring our sacred relationship with the land and the Divine.From our very first meeting, it felt like an ancient remembering: two women who had walked the same Topanga trails, shared the same love for Jesus beyond dogma, and answered the same call to leave Los Angeles when spirit whispered, it's time.Together, we explore what it really means to wake down into the body, commune with nature as a living teacher, and live as instruments of the holy. Reya shares how listening to the Earth led her to create the SongKeeper School, how this summer's eclipse portal became a profound feminine initiation, and why devotion, song, and ceremony are medicine for these times.You'll hear about:Following the soul's call even when it makes no senseLearning to wake down: embodying divinity through the human formThe voice as sacred medicine and prayerHealing through song, Earth-honoring, and feminine initiationLiving devotion in everyday lifeWe also talk about her brand-new seven-week offering, The Journey of the Song Keeper, now open for enrollment: a live, experiential program through The Shift Network that helps you reconnect with your voice as a sacred conduit of the Divine and sing Heaven onto Earth.

This week's episode focuses on Christopher “Chris” Schuler—his journey as a son, father, and most notably, a devoted caregiver. Chris, adopted from Colombia and raised in a loving, close-knit family in New York, reflects deeply on identity, belonging, and the power of chosen family. His parents' move to Rhode Island marked a period of even stronger family bonds, which would later prove invaluable when his father was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. The diagnosis and subsequent caregiving experience were transformative for Chris: he describes the initial shock, the emotional toll of shifting immediately into crisis mode, and the unwavering determination to care for his father, drawing strength from childhood lessons of love, attachment, and resilience.Throughout his father's illness, Chris balanced being a parent himself, maintaining his job, and providing near-round-the-clock care. He candidly shares the physical and mental challenges of caregiving, including the toll on his own health and the burnout that caregivers often experience. Yet, amidst the difficulty, he found meaning by staying present, bringing humor to dark moments, and cherishing precious time with loved ones. The experience has forever changed Chris—today, he proudly claims his identity as “Dad,” guided by his father's legacy of love and laughter, and is committed to using his voice to support and advocate for other caregivers navigating similar journeys.About Chris:Chris is a staunch brain cancer awareness advocate. He was the primary caregiver to his late Dad, Donald Schuler, who was diagnosed with GBM in July 2021. He works closely with biotech's and patient advocacy organizations across the globe, amplifying their critical work and building key relationships to further improve outcomes for patients. He spent eighteen years as a successful philanthropic facilitator, having raised millions for a variety of causes. He's currently a Venture Partner with Varia Ventures, working to raise awareness for emerging venture funds dedicated to uncovering and funding innovative discoveries to improve brain health. Chris continues as his Dad's caregiver — caregiver to his life, legacy and memory.

Frank Miller is regarded as one of the most influential and awarded creators. He began his career in comics in the late 1970s, first gaining notoriety as the artist, and later writer, of Daredevil for Marvel Comics. Next, came the science-fiction samurai drama Ronin, followed by the groundbreaking Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One with artist David Mazzuchelli. Following these seminal works, Miller fulfilled a lifelong dream by doing an all-out crime series, Sin City, which spawned two blockbuster films that he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez. Miller's multi-award-winning graphic novel 300 was also adapted into a highly successful film by Zack Snyder. His upcoming memoir, Push the Wall: My Life, Writing, Drawing, and the Art of Storytelling, is now available for pre-order.This episode is brought to you by: Eight Sleep Pod Cover 5 sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating: EightSleep.com/Tim (use code TIM to get $350 off your very own Pod 5 Ultra.)Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim (one-dollar-per-month trial period)AG1 all-in-one nutritional supplement: DrinkAG1.com/Tim (1-year supply of Vitamin D (and 5 free AG1 travel packs) with your first subscription purchase.)Timestamps:[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:14] Aristotle's definition of happiness: Devotion to excellence.[00:03:02] Tools of the trade: Blackwing pencils, India ink, liquid frisket.[00:04:45] Sin City‘s physical creation at “twice up” size.[00:08:06] The toothbrush spatter technique.[00:09:24] Channeling impatience, anger, and violence into dramatic creative work.[00:10:33] What Jack Kirby knew about making comics competitive with cinema's spectacle.[00:11:56] Will Eisner and The Spirit‘s influence on the US market where writer-artist duality is rare.[00:13:33] How Jack Kirby blasted apart the panel grid (and a young Frank's mind).[00:15:49] Push the wall and defy the code.[00:19:54] The ruthless mentorship of Neal Adams.[00:24:57] The genesis of the Elektra amd Daredevil “soap opera.”[00:27:56] Story structure: Start late, end early.[00:29:10] Trusting the muse over rigid methodology.[00:31:15] European invasion: Moebius and Forbidden Planet.[00:32:52] Japanese influence: Lone Wolf and Cub‘s impact.[00:34:30] Cultural differences in depicting violence and motion.[00:36:38] Ronin: Shameless imitation and rebirth.[00:37:28] How does Frank know if something is working (or not working)?[00:39:27] The critical reception of Ronin as a “broken nose.”[00:42:37] The ruthless structure of The Dark Knight Returns.[00:43:40] Mutual elevation with “smartest fan” Alan Moore.[00:48:26] Robert Rodriguez: Angel of goodwill and generosity.[00:49:28] Sin City film: Co-directing and the Director's Guild sacrifice.[00:50:31] Working as a “two-headed beast” with Rodriguez.[00:55:27] Favorite films.[00:58:19] Books and ancient history inspiring 300.[00:59:00] Hollywood lessons: The importance of working with the right people.[01:01:13] The partnership and guidance of Silenn Thomas.[01:02:01] The clarity and creative rejuvenation of getting sober from alcohol.[01:04:48] Advice for aspiring comic artists: Story, story, story.[01:06:20] Learning to draw: Bridgman and Loomis books.[01:08:07] Perspective as a mathematical trick and lie.[01:11:00] Dick Giordano's advice: Lay in blacks first.[01:13:52] Sin City workflow innovation: Batch processing stages.[01:15:48] Dark Horse Comics and creative freedom.[01:17:29] Economy of line work and elegant minimalism.[01:20:46] On collaborating with Bill Sienkiewicz on Elektra.[01:25:20] Billboard wisdom: “Ask every question,” and “Why?”[01:27:08] Challenging pathological conformity.[01:27:39] Parting thoughts and where to find Frank's work.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever wrestled with someone stronger than you?...
Devotion : What Did You Go To See? / Luke 7:24-35 by Community Lutheran Church
Have you ever wrestled with someone stronger than you?...
Matthew 6:1-4,16-18; Charles Johnson, Senior Pastor at RMC; the tenth sermon in the series on the Sermon on the Mount, "He Sat and Taught."
God doesn't always give us what we want...
In this sermon, we explored the metaphor of marriage as a garden, focusing on the "weeds" that can choke out the health and fruitfulness of our relationships. Drawing from Ephesians 5:25-33, we examined both humorous and serious examples of marital "weeds"—habits, attitudes, and priorities that undermine intimacy and unity. We discussed the importance of giving marriage its own space, maintaining proper priorities (God, spouse, then children), and the dangers of boredom, hidden agendas, and selfishness. Through personal stories and biblical wisdom, we were challenged to examine our own hearts, seek God's guidance, and intentionally invest in our marriages with honesty, humility, and selfless love.
