Tonight's guest, Sammy Richardson, has been spending time in the woods for about as long as he can remember. He describes himself as being a true woodsman. On the night of May 14th, 2024, Sammy decided he'd try his hand at night fishing for catfish just 500 yards from his home, in Lewis County, West Virginia. He had been fishing at that spot before, without incident, many times. That night would be different, however. That night, something happened that will forever change the way he looks at the woods. We hope you'll tune into tonight's show and listen to him talk about what happened. Sammy's episode of the My Bigfoot Sighting Podcast hasn't been recorded yet.

Janice Allred was excommunicated just over 30 years ago, but still attends the LDS Church!!! Why? She will talk about why she stays, and offer advice to others on how to stay if they want to. We’ll discuss how it affects her family, her testimony, and we’ll even dive into why current polygamy revisionists are getting into trouble with LDS Church leaders. Check out our conversation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O8H-QXlDPw Why I Stay: Three Decades in the Pews as an Excommunicated Member What does it look like to remain dedicated to a faith community that has formally cast you out? For Janice Allred, a “philosophical theologian” who was excommunicated in 1995, the answer is found in showing up every Sunday for over thirty years. Allred, the sister of fellow scholar Margaret Toscano, was disciplined primarily for her writings on “God the Mother“ and her critiques of church authority, yet she remains a fixture in her local ward. Why Stay? When asked the “Sunstone question” of why she stays, Allred's first response is simple: “Because I want to”. Her deeper motivations are rooted in her identity as a follower of Jesus Christ, noting that He encouraged His followers to meet together often to strengthen one another. Furthermore, she feels a profound connection to the revelations of Joseph Smith, including the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants, and wants to worship where those texts are accepted as scripture. From Pariah to Participant The road has not been easy. For the first five to ten years after her excommunication, Allred describes being treated like a “pariah” and was largely ignored by her ward members. She recalls a poignant moment five years in when a fellow ward member simply said “Hello,” and she nearly broke into tears because so few had spoken to her during that time. The turning point was a house fire. While the community struggled to know how to respond to her theological dissent, they knew exactly how to help a family in a physical crisis. Today, she is a regular participant in Sunday school and Relief Society, though she is denied the sacrament, which she describes as the hardest part of her experience. The “Observer” Strategy Allred offers a unique perspective for those struggling with their faith: be an observer. She navigates the tension of hearing things she disagrees with—such as the “adulation” of church leadership or the Proclamation on the Family—by taking a step back and viewing the meetings through a sociological or theological lens. She does not feel the need to agree with everything said from the pulpit to feel that she belongs to the “invisible church” of true followers of Christ. A Different Kind of Fundamentalism Perhaps most surprising is Allred's stance as a “polygamy revisionist.” Through her theological studies, she became convinced that Joseph Smith neither taught nor practiced polygamy, and she views Section 132 as a later forgery or a text contrary to the gospel. While this view challenges the lineage of authority from Brigham Young, she maintains that her primary goal is seeking what is true according to her own conscience and inspiration. Janice Allred's journey is a testament to self-authorship in faith. She remains a “member of the ward” in spirit, even if not on the records, proving that for some, the community of Christ is worth the discomfort of dissent. What do you think of Janice's persistence for 30+ years?

Monarchs throughout history, and monarchs today are better known for cruelty than they are for mercy. God Himself has historically been portrayed as being cruel, broodingly overseeing obedience or disobedience, delivering reward and punishments. Jesus, however, shows that God is merciful and kind toward us all, especially toward those who once thought of God as cruel. For more please visit https://www.rancho.tv/events #wearerancho

Many successful men experience a loss of motivation after achieving major goals. Discover why motivation fades and how high performers regain direction and purpose. Table of Contents Toggle When Success Doesn't Feel Like It ShouldThe Hidden Pattern Behind Loss of MotivationWhy Success Can Quietly Change MotivationThe Achievement PlateauWhen Loss of Motivation Signals MisalignmentThe Psychological Shift Many Men ExperienceRegaining Motivation After SuccessThe Next Stage of MotivationA Different Kind of DriveFAQ When Success Doesn't Feel Like It Should Many high-performing men eventually encounter something unexpected after achieving major goals: a quiet but persistent loss of motivation. The career advances, income improves, and discipline has produced the results that once seemed distant. From the outside everything appears stable and successful. Yet internally something begins to change. The energy that once fueled constant progress softens. Tasks that once felt meaningful now feel routine, and the motivation that previously drove relentless action becomes harder to access. This moment often confuses disciplined men because nothing appears to be broken. The structure of life still works. Responsibilities are handled, work gets completed, and results continue to appear. But the emotional drive that once powered progress no longer feels as strong as it once did. The Hidden Pattern Behind Loss of Motivation Early ambition is often powered by pressure. Many men build discipline around proving something—to themselves, to others, or to circumstances that once limited them. That pressure becomes a powerful engine for growth. The long hours, physical training, professional risks, and constant improvement make sense when there is something meaningful pushing them forward. Eventually the goals that once created that pressure are achieved. The promotion arrives, the business stabilizes, the financial security appears, or the physical transformation is complete. When this happens, the psychological engine that produced that motivation begins to change. This is where many successful men begin experiencing a genuine loss of motivation. What once felt urgent now feels optional. The internal pressure that once demanded action becomes quieter, and without realizing it many men begin wondering why their motivation no longer feels the same. Why Success Can Quietly Change Motivation Most people assume success should increase motivation, but the opposite often happens. When the original reason for discipline disappears, the habits remain but the emotional intensity behind them weakens. The structure of success continues. Work continues, responsibilities remain, and productivity does not necessarily collapse. Yet internally something shifts because the original challenge that organized effort has already been conquered. Without a meaningful direction, motivation gradually fades even though discipline remains intact. This creates a strange psychological state where capability remains high but enthusiasm begins to decline. Many men interpret this change as laziness, burnout, or personal failure. In reality it is often a signal that the psychological system driving performance is evolving. The Achievement Plateau Every long-term performer eventually encounters what could be called the achievement plateau. Early in life progress feels exciting because every year produces visible growth and improvement. Income rises. Skills expand. Opportunities increase. The rapid progress creates constant reinforcement that fuels motivation. Each achievement produces momentum that naturally leads to the next goal. Eventually progress stabilizes. Promotions become less frequent, income growth slows, and the challenges that once felt intimidating become routine. This stage often feels like a lack of motivation, but the plateau is actually a natural phase of long-term performance. The mind begins searching for a new reason to invest energy. Without that new reason, the internal drive that once felt automatic begins to weaken. When Loss of Motivation Signals Misalignment Another reason successful individuals experience loss of motivation is misalignment between effort and meaning. A man can remain disciplined for years while gradually drifting away from the deeper values that originally made the work feel worthwhile. Externally everything may still look successful. Career stability remains. Financial responsibilities are handled. Professional competence is still strong. Internally the experience changes because effort is no longer connected to something meaningful. When effort and meaning separate, motivation slowly erodes even though capability remains strong. This explains why many successful men quietly describe a feeling of success without fulfillment. They are still performing well, but the direction of that performance no longer resonates with who they are becoming. The Psychological Shift Many Men Experience Around midlife many high-performing men experience a deeper psychological shift that changes how they relate to ambition and motivation. The early years of adulthood are often defined by proving capability and building stability. That phase creates momentum and discipline. Eventually a different question begins to emerge beneath the surface. Instead of asking how to achieve more, many men begin asking why they are pursuing certain goals in the first place. This shift is not weakness. It is a sign that the internal framework organizing effort is evolving. Motivation no longer responds only to achievement. It begins responding to meaning, alignment, and contribution. When this transition begins, old forms of motivation often lose their power. Regaining Motivation After Success Restoring motivation rarely comes from forcing more discipline. Many high performers instinctively respond to motivation loss by trying to push harder, add more routines, or increase productivity. Sometimes the opposite approach is required. Instead of applying more pressure, it becomes necessary to step back and reassess the direction of effort. The important question shifts away from achievement alone and toward alignment and purpose. What kind of work still feels energizing? What type of challenge produces curiosity rather than exhaustion? What direction feels worth investing energy into for the next stage of life? These questions often reopen the psychological pathway that allows motivation to return. The Next Stage of Motivation Early ambition is frequently fueled by urgency and external pressure. Many successful individuals spend years proving themselves and building stability, which creates powerful momentum but also ties motivation to achievement alone. The next stage of motivation operates differently. Instead of chasing validation or external success, many high performers begin aligning their effort with deeper purpose and contribution. When this alignment occurs, motivation begins to return in a different form. Not frantic energy. Clarity. Effort becomes focused again because the direction now feels meaningful rather than obligatory. A Different Kind of Drive Experiencing a loss of motivation after success is not a sign of weakness. It is often a signal that the next phase of life requires a different orientation toward growth, discipline, and purpose. The goals that once created momentum may no longer be the goals that create meaning. Recognizing this shift allows high performers to move beyond the plateau and begin building the next stage of their life with intention. If this tension feels familiar, the next step is to examine where your discipline may still be aimed at an outdated target. The Conscious Warrior Code helps you realign physical strength, mental clarity, emotional mastery, and purpose so motivation once again has a clear direction. FAQ Why do successful people experience loss of motivation? Successful individuals often experience loss of motivation because the goals that originally fueled their discipline have already been achieved. When motivation is built around reaching milestones or proving capability, the psychological pressure that created the drive eventually disappears. Without a new challenge or deeper purpose, energy naturally declines even though competence and discipline remain strong. Is loss of motivation after success normal? Yes, it is extremely common. Many high achievers experience a shift in motivation after reaching long-term goals because the psychological system that once fueled their progress begins to change. Instead of being driven by urgency and achievement, individuals begin seeking deeper meaning and alignment in their work and life direction. How can someone regain motivation? Regaining motivation often begins with clarifying new challenges that feel meaningful and aligned with personal values. When effort reconnects with purpose rather than pressure, motivation tends to return naturally. Many individuals discover renewed motivation when they pursue goals connected to growth, contribution, or personal fulfillment. Can burnout cause loss of motivation? Burnout can contribute to loss of motivation, particularly after long periods of intense effort. Mental fatigue and emotional exhaustion reduce enthusiasm for tasks that once felt meaningful. Addressing stress, improving recovery, and redefining priorities can help restore clarity and motivation. Can coaching help someone regain motivation? Coaching can help individuals examine the deeper patterns behind motivation loss and identify new directions that feel meaningful. Through structured reflection and strategic questioning, coaching often helps high performers reconnect with purpose and regain sustained motivation. .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 30px; } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-container{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ display: flex; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double{ width: 48%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 32%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: calc(25% - 20px); } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item img{ max-width: 100%; height: auto; object-fit: cover; aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item.lwrp-empty-list-item{ background: initial !important; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { .lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{ } .lwrp .lwrp-title{ }.lwrp .lwrp-description{ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container{ flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-multi-container ul.lwrp-list{ margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-double, .lwrp .lwrp-list-triple{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container{ justify-content: initial; flex-direction: column; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-row-container .lwrp-list-item{ width: 100%; } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item:not(.lwrp-no-posts-message-item){ } .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-link .lwrp-list-link-title-text, .lwrp .lwrp-list-item .lwrp-list-no-posts-message{ }; } Related Posts What is Mental Strength – Video5 Ways To Focus on Your Goal – Warrior Mind Podcast #592The 10 Daily Habits Of Successful Happy PeopleWhat The Heck is Metanoia: Warrior Mind Podcast #499 Critical Thinking: Warrior Mind Podcast #450Reinvent Yourself to Increase Self-Image: Warrior Mind Podcast #5425 Tips On Enhancing Your Grit: Warrior Mind Podcast #4555 Ways to Boost Your Willpower – Warrior Mind Podcast #572

Defiant Femininity | A Different Kind of Woman | Jonathan Moynihan

We see the growing conflict around Jesus in John 5:16–18 (NLT). After healing on the Sabbath, Jesus is harassed by the Jewish leaders, and He replies, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”

Hear from Sian Williams, Chief Risk Officer at Triodos Bank UK, as we examine how values-led banking can generate positive impact for people, planet and the financial system.   When we think about sustainable finance, the conversation often revolves around targets, disclosures and voluntary alliances. But what happens when sustainability is not an add-on, but the foundation of a bank's entire business model?   If sustainability is the starting point, lending decisions inevitably look different, and more complex. Not everything can be reduced to a model. Challenging trade-offs between risk, return and impact emerge. And judgment, values and governance play a much larger role in determining which activities are financed, and which are not.   In this episode, we explore:   The real-world positive impact that a mission-driven bank can generate for communities, climate and nature;   How balancing risk, return and impact shapes lending decisions in practice, and what that means for the bank's governance and internal decision-making;   And whether the model of values-led banking is truly scalable — or whether its greatest influence lies in demonstrating what is possible for the wider financial system.    ----------------    To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr  For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate  If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com    ------------------    Today's Speaker Sian Williams is Chief Risk Officer at Triodos Bank UK, a mission-driven institution that seeks to balance profit with people and planet.   With more than 30 years' experience in finance, including senior risk and compliance roles at Lloyds Bank, and as a banking supervisor at the Bank of England and Financial Services Authority, she brings deep expertise across traditional banking, mission-driven finance and regulation.

Message by: Scott Treadway The wisdom of Jesus is unlike the wisdom of the world that values power, glory, and wealth. The wisdom of the Kingdom of Heaven is not of this world. It is an invisible, thoughtful, creative, relationship-driven wisdom of humility, self-sacrifice, forgiveness and, above all, love. For more please visit https://www.rancho.tv/events #wearerancho

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;     we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.1.     How much of the time do you assume God's love is like human love? In what ways does that reduce your enjoyment of God's love?2.     Does Paul's “more than conquerors” language empower you, discourage you, or simply unimpress you?3.     Paul says God's love for us is welling up from within us, and working every detail in our lives for our good. Does that strike you as a different kind of love? Can God's love be the fundamental reality of your life? If God's love isn't, what is?4.     How often do you accuse yourself of damnable sin? Do you believe Paul when he says God is the one who justifies us, and Jesus is the one who was condemned in our place? What should you do when you get into a rut of self-accusation?5.     What are the “what ifs” that keep you up at night? Does God's love in Christ help turn those into “even ifs”? Why or why not?

On this episode of Exclusively Van Halen on johnnybeaneTV, we dive into one of the biggest “what-ifs” in hard rock history. “The rest is history. That's how close it got.” That's how Alex Van Halen described the moment he and Eddie Van Halen nearly formed a band with Ozzy Osbourne. At a time when Van Halen was reeling from lineup turmoil — after the Gary Cherone era ended and relationships with David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar were strained — the Van Halen brothers were searching for direction. Rumors swirled about potential singers, even David Coverdale, though that was ultimately dismissed. Around 2000, Alex and Eddie met with Sharon Osbourne to seriously discuss making a record with Ozzy. According to Alex, the conversation went well. Sharon was on board. The idea was real. An album was within reach. There was just one catch. Sharon mentioned she had a meeting the next day about a television show. That show became The Osbournes, which ran from 2002 to 2005 and changed pop culture — but it also derailed what could have been a historic collaboration. Ozzy later admitted the project “would have been phenomenal,” and expressed regret that it never came together. Meanwhile, Alex and Steve Lukather are now developing material Eddie recorded during his lifetime, originally intended as a follow-up to 2012's A Different Kind of Truth. That release marked Van Halen's studio return with Roth — but history might have looked very different if the Ozzy collaboration had happened. We also revisit the brothers' late-era jams with Chris Cornell, another near-miss that ended far too soon. What would a Van Halen–Ozzy album have sounded like? Early 2000s metal? A return to raw riff-driven hard rock? A completely new chapter? Join the discussion. "Exclusively Van Halen" is your ultimate destination for all things Van Halen. From deep dives into the band's legendary history to giveaways and gear showcases, we celebrate one of the greatest rock bands of all time — every week.

Blizzard warnings outside, sonic weather systems inside. Matt and Sam pulled together twelve new tracks that cut through the February haze, from Bruce Springsteen's lightning-fast protest release to Charli XCX's orchestral, slow-burn elegance. The throughline is momentum—how artists old and new push ideas forward, whether by turning up the amps, sharpening the story, or stripping a feeling down to its essential parts.We start with the tradition of the protest song and how the modern pipeline lets Bruce write Friday, record Saturday, and shake feeds by Sunday. That urgency echoes across the mix: Moby and Jacob Lusk descend into winter stillness with a haunting piano rework, while Metric flips the phrase “victim of luck” into a catchy meditation on fortune's fallout. Foo Fighters slam back to a vintage roar, asking heavy questions with a grin, and Joe Jackson proves legacy doesn't mean nostalgic—his bright, narrative pop still lands clean.Midway, the energy pivots. Andrew Bird and Gavin Brivick give us a short, tender plea that lingers, then Young the Giant wrestle with belonging and the quiet art of not letting go. The Black Keys deliver a bluesy reminder that losses make the wins sweeter, and J. Cole sets 'Two Six' ablaze with tight imagery and shape-shifting flow. Charli XCX steps into cinematic mode for Wuthering Heights, weaving strings and restraint to let the emotion breathe.We close with memory and maintenance: Joyce Manor's snapshot of the bar that shaped a moment, and The New Pornographers' vow to keep the small flame alive—“my hands are cupped around a match.” If you're here for thoughtful lyrics, rock that punches, indie hooks, and a few gut-punch lines you'll carry all week, queue this one up and ride the arc with us.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-february-2026-new-music/pl.u-0KJxH4oxbV1.

Text: Esther 2:1-18Esther is perhaps the most unique and controversial books in all of the Bible. It's one of only two books named after women. It is full of moral failure, ambiguity, and less-than-savory heroes. And it never mentions the name of God once. Yet it is an important book that tells an important piece of God's redemptive history. Join us for this series as we dive into this popular and provocative book and learn about God' work in our lives (and Esther's) – even when it's not always evident on the surface.Come visit us in person!

Strength doesn't always come from comfort or full stomachs. Sometimes God meets us in the quiet spaces and reminds us where real strength comes from.

Message by: Scott Treadway Jesus is the King of Kings, but he is unlike any king before him. Instead of wielding authority through glory, power, wealth, threats, and violence, Jesus came as a peasant, serving peasants, and equipping peasants to change the world through love.

Feb 20th, 2026 - Pastor Tim Westermeyer - #372 – A Different Kind of Lenten Fast

This week on The Horrorcraft PodcastWe're diving into a powerful and emotionally heavy discussion centered on Pieces of Amy, the deeply unsettling film from Tim Shea that confronts trauma, abuse, and survival through a raw and unflinching horror lens.

In 1978 there was Cancel Culture, Of a Different Kind. In this wide-ranging conversation, Paul Kupperberg kicks things off by revisiting the chaos and opportunity of DC's infamous Implosion, detailing how he helped salvage lost work through the two landmark volumes of Canceled Comic Cavalcade, a rare behind-the-curtain look at comics that almost vanished into history. From there, we dig into his run on Vigilante, where street-level justice met moral complexity, and his offbeat, character-driven take on Doom Patrol. Paul also shares sharp, funny stories from his time writing for Crazy Magazine and the gloriously absurd headlines of Weekly World News, revealing how satire sharpened his storytelling instincts. Along the way, he reflects on the industry's evolution, the hustle of staying versatile, and even teases a few new projects that prove he's still very much in the game.

We talk about the debut of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO and how this show is really different in a lot of ways from the previous Game of Thrones installments.

Beloved,Happy Valentines Day. I have a LOVE STORY that you will SEE YOUR OWN STORY within. We all feel it.A vigilance for justice and new resurging freedom in the coming year as the Fire Horse takes the lead.The blaze ignites suppressed collective forces and pushes survival systems past their breaking points. We are entering a new era where authority shifts from systems and structures to the visceral intelligence of the spirit intelligence. So as we mark the end of survival as the organizing principle and the beginning of heart opening aliveness…….ultimately we are:Choosing Love Out LoudRight now, more than ever, we are collectively craving one thing—safety.Not just physical safety, but the kind that lets us exhale fully. The kind that allows our shoulders to drop, our hearts to soften, and our nervous systems to rest.We are living in a world that feels uncertain. The division, the pace, the pressure— all rising. And in the midst of it, many of us are quietly asking: Where can I feel safe? Where can I return to myself?For me, this question has shaped everything.My life's work has been about nurturing this very feeling—-creating spaces, -rituals, and deep connections that help others remember ….in what it feels like to truly rest inside the light within ourselves.And recently, something sacred arrived in my life, a presence I call Love—and I want to honor her arrival with the reverence she deserves.But before I introduce you to her, I want to share a bit about the journey that brought us together. I believe it holds a mirror to so many of our own paths.The Power of the PathTwo years ago, I put my name on a waitlist for a litter of puppies.At the time, I didn't realize what I was actually signing up for.It would take two full years to finally be granted first pick.Two years of waiting.Two years of wondering if it would ever happen.Looking back, I see that those two years were not a delay—they were a divine invitation.My angels and guides used that time to do deep, quiet work within me.To clear out old stories.To help me soften into the truth of who I am.I wasn't just waiting for a puppy.I was being prepared to receive Love.Choosing a Different Kind of LifeDuring that time, I was also navigating a life that doesn't follow the traditional script.No marriage.No children.Just me, my work, and the sacred space I hold for others.It's a path that has asked me to shed layers of perfectionism and comparison.To stop apologizing for what my life doesn't look like.And instead, to honor what it is: creative, spiritual, intentional.I've learned that we often shrink what we love in order to stay safe.But that shrinking is an illusion.Real safety comes from expansion.From saying, This is what I love. This is what I'm building - the Kingdom of God in a stolen world - offering us a opportunity of lifetimes.Meeting LoveAnd now, she's about here.Five more weeks.A small, grounded being with soft eyes and a quiet strength.She's not here to selfishly fill a emptiness - She's here to be.To embody what I've been learning.I've had many visions of us channeling together.To walk with me through the streets, into my salon, into the hearts of those we meet.She is Love, made visible.And she is a reminder that one regulated nervous system—just one—can shift the energy of a room.Of a day.Of a life.Anchors for the JourneyAre you working through uncertainty right now?If so, I want to offer you a few anchors that have helped me:Keep Your Vision Bright.Your imagination is sacred. It's not a distraction—it's a direction. Follow it.Serve with Boundaries.You can love people deeply without abandoning yourself.Evolve at Your Own Pace.The world will try to rush you. Don't let it. Go slow. Go deep.Stay Cheerful Inside.Not toxic positivity—but a quiet cheerfulness. A kind of spiritual defiance that says, I still believe in beauty.There Is No Finish Line.There is only today. Only the practice. Only the breath.Love as a FrequencyLove is a resonance that needs no words.It's not weakness.It's alignment.It's power.When we choose to become love—not just give it, but become it—it meets us back in ways we could never have planned.That's what's happening for all of us - now.❤️ I love you. May you find the safety to soften.May you choose Love, out loud.And may you FEEL the Love choosing you right back.❤️ Love, KassandraOOOH! PS: On Christmas Eve, I surprised my parents by putting money down for their own little puppy to enter their lives. To my delight, they said yes! This week, they welcomed little Albert. I'm SO in love with my parents, and now I have another love in my life as we welcome this new addition to their home, filling it with even more joy. He's just so adorable.PPS: If you have a dog or also in the pursuit…….please hit reply, as I am creating a epic journey to support the sacred naming process.Yup. I've already started a SACRED DOG naming journey (or meaning to a current dog's name). Here's a sneak peek of how it curates the energy and spiritual connection with “LOVE.” Origin & EtymologyDerived from Old English lufu, and rooted in the Proto-Germanic lubō, “Love” is a word that has transcended language to become a universal vibration. It is not bound by culture, creed, or species—it is the essence that binds all.Core MeaningUnconditional affection, divine union, and the highest vibrational field available to sentient beings. Love is the frequency that dissolves fear, heals wounds, and magnetizes abundance.How “Love” Filters the Energy of the Heart and HomeThe name “Love” acts as a harmonic tuning fork. Each time it is spoken, it initiates a subtle recalibration of the home's energetic field—transmuting conflict, anchoring presence, and inviting softness. Your dog becomes a walking reminder of your soul's true north.This name is especially potent in spaces where healing, forgiveness, or heart-centered leadership are needed. It is not passive—it is powerful.The Seed Sound: Why “Love” ResonatesPhonetically, “Love” is a single-syllable seed sound. The soft “L” opens the heart chakra gently, while the “V” vibrates through the throat and solar plexus, encouraging expression and emotional courage.Spoken slowly—“Luhv”—it becomes both a mantra and a medicine.The Name Decree (The Scroll)✦ ✦ ✦By the power of presence, and in honor of the sacred bond between human and guardian soul,I hereby decree the name of this Spiritual Ambassador to be:✦ LOVE ✦May this name be spoken with reverence,May its frequency ripple through every corner of our home,And may its essence awaken truth, tenderness, and transformation.This name is not given lightly—it is offered as a gift, a vibration, a vow.So it is spoken. So it shall be.✦ ✦ ✦The Light Between is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.

Lawyers have always relied on tools—but AI is different. It doesn't just assist with tasks; it makes decisions, applies judgment, and shapes outcomes. In episode #602 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Damien Riehl about what ethical responsibility looks like when AI starts doing legal work on its own.  Their conversation examines how AI systems embed values, why verification matters more than transparency, and how lawyers can responsibly use tools they don't fully understand. They also explore what legal expertise looks like in an AI-powered future—and why intuition, trust, and integrity may matter more than ever as machines take over the “widgets” of legal work.  Listen to our other episodes on Ethics and Responsibility in AI.  EP. 582 Deepfakes, Data, and Duty: Navigating AI Ethics in Law, with Merisa Bowers Apple | Spotify | LTN  EP. 543 What Lawyers Need to Know About the Ethics of Using AI, with Hilary Gerzhoy Apple | Spotify | LTN    Have thoughts about today's episode?

As Valentine's Day approaches, this episode offers a reminder that love doesn't only live in romance — it also lives in friendship, shared purpose, and meaningful connection. In this conversation, Yvonne sits down with Gail Zelitsky and Catherine Marienau, co-hosts of the podcast, Women Over 70: Aging Reimagined, to talk about how a friendship formed later in life grew into a powerful creative partnership. Gail and Catherine share their individual paths — from unexpected reinvention and advocacy work to mentoring women returning to school later in life — and how their shared values eventually led them to build a platform amplifying the voices of women in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. Together, they explore what it means to form deep friendships later in life, why collaboration looks different as we age, and how purpose and possibility don't disappear with time — they often deepen. This episode is part 2 of a series highlighting women who found friendship later in life and turned it into something meaningful. Gail and Catherine aren't just talking about what's possible after 70 — they're living it.

New York Times cooking writer and columnist Yewande Komolafe has long loved the solitary, meditative act of crafting intricate meals and comfort foods in the kitchen. But after multiple amputations profoundly altered her body, Komolafe had to learn to cook in a new way: with adaptive tools, learning “how to whisk a bowl of cream to milky soft peaks with prosthetic hands,” and with other chefs' assistance. That collaboration helped Komolafe better understand the curative effects of a good meal, both “physiologically and psychologically.” We talk with Komolafe about the restorative powers of cooking a hot dish of fried calamari or shrimp scampi and her journey of self-rediscovery. Her new article for the Times is “How Losing My Limbs Turned Me Into a Different Kind of Cook.” Guests: Yewande Komolafe, cooking writer and columnist, The New York Times Learn more about your ad choices.

Sports betting is exploding across the country. With online platforms, mobile apps, and aggressive marketing, it's never been easier to gamble — or easier to hide it. What many view as harmless entertainment may actually be reshaping how we think about money, community, and even discipleship.Pastor and author Kyle Worley—Lead Pastor of Mosaic Church in Richardson, Texas, co-host of the Knowing Faith podcast, and author of Home with God: Our Union with Christ—recently wrote on this growing trend for Faithful Steward magazine. Today, he joins the show to explain why the rise of sports gambling deserves more careful thought from believers.A Different Kind of GamblingSports gambling carries a unique appeal. Unlike casinos or the lottery, it taps into nostalgia, play, and community.“Sports connect to childhood memories and communal experiences,” Worley notes. “That nostalgia makes sports betting feel natural, even harmless.”The danger lies in how subtly wagering attaches itself to something already meaningful—games shared with friends, family, or childhood heroes—making it easier to dismiss spiritual risks.What Does Scripture Actually Say?The Bible does not explicitly outlaw gambling. But it repeatedly warns against the desire for quick, hasty gain. Worley points to 1 Timothy 6:9–10, noting that it speaks directly to the temptations and destruction tied to wealth pursued rapidly and without wisdom. Gambling fits that pattern.Scripture's concern is not merely financial but formational. Gambling trains us to view wealth through the lens of chance, speed, and self-interest—the opposite of stewardship, patience, and contentment.The spiritual stakes aren't just internal. They are profoundly communal. Worley cites Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke:“The righteous disadvantage themselves for the sake of the community; the unrighteous advantage themselves at the expense of the community.”Modern betting apps are built on asymmetric outcomes—they profit only because others lose. And statistically, those losses fall disproportionately on the vulnerable.Many platforms use predatory models:Winners face worse odds or even shuttered accountsConsistent losers are enticed with better odds and larger limitsWorley compares it to handing a chainsaw to a child—unjust simply because not everyone absorbs the harm equally.Normalization and Cultural FormationSports gambling has moved from taboo to mainstream with startling speed. Betting lines now appear on ESPN, broadcasts, and social media—even during youth-oriented sports programming.The result: a generation being formed to see gambling as normal and morally neutral.Worley warns that where gambling proliferates, other forms of exploitation follow — including human trafficking during major sporting events. While the Bible may speak indirectly about gambling, it speaks directly about exploitation.Some point to the biblical practice of casting lots as justification for gambling. Worley draws a sharp distinction:Casting lots was a religious act of trust—not a wager. It carried no profit motive and served no entertainment purpose. Reframing it as support for modern gambling misunderstands its role entirely.How Churches Can Disciple BetterFor pastors and ministry leaders, Worley offers three recommendations:Talk More About Money - Many Christians lack a positive theology of wealth. That vacuum leaves them vulnerable to cultural narratives.Address “Respectable” Vices - Gambling isn't the only fun, socially accepted vice that harms stewardship. Churches must disciple beyond obvious sins.Create Healthy Avenues for Play and Connection - Sports betting offers counterfeit community, especially for men. Churches should provide better alternatives.The Wisdom Required TodayIn the end, debates about whether gambling is technically permissible miss the deeper biblical question: Does this help me love God and neighbor well?Worley's counsel is simple: navigate these decisions in community, under Scripture, with wisdom. Quick profit is never neutral—it forms us. And it shapes the people around us.As sports betting continues to surge, Christians will need more than opinions. They will need conviction, clarity, and a vision of stewardship that honors God and protects the vulnerable.———————————————————————————————————————Kyle Worley's full article, “The Real Stakes of Sports Betting,” appears in the latest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.

January is chaos. February is clarity. And this year, the Gather Moms team is doing something different. In this season-opening episode, Kate and Rebecca kick off a brand-new year (and a brand-new season!) by proposing something radical for moms: What if your New Year didn't start until February? After the sugar crashes, the school reset, the burnout, and the abandoned resolutions, February is when moms can finally breathe—and actually decide who they want to become. That conversation opens the door to the heart of this episode: the launch of the “Bible Moms” season. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the Bible, unsure where to start, inconsistent, distracted, or even skeptical—this season was created with you in mind. Kate and Rebecca unpack why the Bible isn't just a book of stories, but one unified, miraculous narrative—and why knowing the whole story changes how we see God, ourselves, and our motherhood. Through humor, personal stories, and practical insight, they make the case that there is one habit that will shape every other area of a mom's life this year. You'll hear: Why January expectations crush moms—and why February is the reset we actually need Honest confessions about Bible guilt, inconsistency, and dry seasons A fresh, accessible way to understand the Bible's big picture (without feeling dumb or behind) Why moms are overwhelmed by voices—and how God's voice cuts through the noise What it really means to be a “Bible Mom” (hint: not perfection) How this season will walk you through Scripture using moms of the Bible as anchors An invitation to start right where you are—even if you don't own a Bible Whether you've walked with God for years, feel stuck in a spiritual rut, or aren't sure what you believe at all, you are welcome here. Don't have a Bible? Message Gather Moms on Instagram or Facebook, or comment “Bible” on YouTube—we would love to send you one. Want to go deeper?
