False teaching is on the rise, which Scripture tells us will occur. There are numerous individuals who have come to be known as "discernment ministries", calling attention to aberrant practices and false teachings that are leading many astray. Though the Bible does not mention discernment ministers, it does instruct us as Christians to use proper discernment, which includes testing the spirit that is bringing a particular doctrine or teaching. However, there is disagreement as to how loving it is to call out false teachings and to name names. Some even believe that doing such things brings division to the body of Christ and is unloving in its intent. Join me as we consider dissenting thoughts on the subject, and we consider what Scripture has to say about the exposure of false teachers and false prophets.

What Japanese Presenters Get Wrong Clients have some common problems with their Japanese leaders.  I know this because the same requests keep coming up.  This is across industries and companies and it is consistent.  Usually Japanese presenters are excellent at assembling lots of data and information.  They can really pack a lot into a few slides.  When they present it is like a waterfall of wonderous content, just flowing forth, without much structure or clarity.  Somehow the bosses have to work out the key points for themselves, because the staff's job focuses on accumulating hoards of data and then putting it all up on screen.  The presenter is almost invisible, has low energy, speaks in a quiet voice you can struggle to hear and blends well into the wall paper. This doesn't work so well in international meetings and Japan looks weak and ineffectual to the rest of the far flung company world. We are battling two giants here.  One is the educational system and the other is Japanese culture.  I earned my Masters Degree here in Tokyo, so I have seen up close and personal what a high school education prepares you for and what universities do with that raw clay.  An argument could have been made, prior to the advent of the internet, that the ability to memorise vast quantities of information and regurgitate it on command was a serious capability.  We can find any thing very quickly today thanks to search engines, so having to memorise gobs of stuff isn't as important as it once may have been. I see it in my son's education when he was at international High School here.  They were required to have laptops and everything was done online.  His generations' issue is there is too much information. How do you find the best and correct data, how do you sort the wheat from the chaff?  Young people are digital natives, but they are all drinking from the firehose of all data every recorded, sitting just a few clicks away. We teach our students to start at the end.  Define in as short a sentence as possible, the most important key message you want to impart.  This is not as easy as it sounds. You have to be brutal with yourself.  You have to eliminate all the nice to have, all the interesting to have and refine it down to the must have.  Just throwing up a lot of data on screen doesn't require as much thinking, as refining the data into the gold nuggets for the audience.  Discerning the key message then allows us to build the structure for the argument and to align the necessary evidence in order to be convincing to our audience. The first words coming out of our mouth have a powerful role.  Everyone seems easily distracted today, have miniscule concentration spans and are quickly bored.  So we need to say something that really breaks through that wall of indifference and grab their attention.  There is no point launching that blockbuster opening in a squeaky, unsure, timid little voice.  People will be flying for their phones to escape you.  No, we need a strong voice, standing or sitting tall if online, when we kick things off.  We have to be oozing confidence. “But Story san, my English is so poor, I have no confidence”.  This is another trope we often hear.  Here we have Japanese perfectionism, no defect, no errors and no mistake culture colliding with the Education Department's failed efforts to teach the population English.  Don't accept that excuse.  No one cares about linguistic perfection in business meetings, except the Japanese staff when they have to speak in English.  Give them the “no grammar needed” escape jail card for the meetings, to give them permission to speak without fear and let the rest of us work out what it is they want to say.  We are used to this and are all pretty good at it. Just being able to isolate the key take away and deliver that in a confident manner will be a revolution to business meetings where Japanese have to present.  Not having to wade through all the dross to understand the key point will be a relief.  Having one idea per slide will be a life saver for everyone – make this the iron rule for Japanese presenters.  This forces the selection of only the most important information to be shown.  The result will be a much clearer messaging effort and greater clarity around what exactly is that message.  Confidence sells the message, so the delivery has to be sold in that manner.  Rehearsal is critical for Japanese speakers and so is coaching.  This applies to whatever language they are presenting in, because you can guarantee the issues will be present in both languages to a great extent.  When giving feedback to anyone, only look at two elements and tell them what they are doing well and then tell them how they can do it even better.  This will build confidence and create a momentum that will maximise capability.  What does all of this cost?  Nothing, so let's get to it.

Ever ignored a warning and instantly regretted it? What if I told you that three groups of people in the Bible made the same mistake - and their stories are meant to warn US today? In this powerful message, we dive deep into Jude 1:5-7 to uncover three sobering examples of what happens when God's warnings go unheeded: - The Israelites who wandered 40 years in the wilderness - The angels who abandoned their heavenly positions - Sodom and Gomorrah's fiery destruction But here's the thing - this isn't just about God's justice (though that's real). It's about His incredible love and the lengths He goes to protect us from ourselves. Scripture List: Jude 1.5–7 Genesis 6.4

She shares strategies for waking up and savoring every moment. The Power of Mortality Awareness: Inspired by her father's passing, Karen reveals how pondering life's finiteness isn't morbid—it's motivating. Knowing our time is limited helps us act with greater urgency and intention.

Identity-Based Habits: How embracing positive self-identity and values leads to powerful, lasting behavioral change. Daily Practices to Cultivate Mindfulness: Accessible tools such as gratitude rituals in the morning, “speed bumps” (moments of awareness during the day), visual meditations, and journaling for self-reflection. Mortality Marble Jar: Karen introduces a visual monthly ritual—removing a marble for each month left in your projected life—which brings heightened appreciation and increased mindfulness to each day. Building Meaningful Relationships: Why time spent intentionally with those you love, and the ripples you leave, matter above all else. Practical Takeaways Simple morning meditations to start your day with gratitude and intention How to use speed bumps and discernment to pause and make more meaningful daily choices Fun, engaging habits like the “fun jar” and monthly self-reflection with marbles Journaling prompts to deepen self-awareness and discover what matters most Memorable Quotes “A spoonful of humor helps the psychological tools go down.” “Mortality awareness isn't morbid—it's motivating.” “The more you ‘you' you are, the happier you'll be.” Resources & Links Karen's Website: notsalmon.com Preorder the Book: yourtodieforlife.com SurfingTheTsunami.com – Wisdom Feed Plus Membership Connect with the Show Love this episode?

Psalm 77:1-2, 11-20; Psalm 16; Luke 9:51-62“The Church is not here exclusively, nor primarily, to transform society. That is notwhy we are here. When the Church sets out to transform society, very little isaccomplished. The uniqueness of the Church is denied as we enter the battle onthe same terms as secular and godless forces. We assume that justice can be wonby force, by technique, by doing. It cannot.” (Howard Snyder) We are here to be‘little Christs,' loving and serving, demonstrating sacrificial love, community, andbeing.

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Undoubtedly, the Middle East is in a state of turmoil.

Soon, an evil axis will begin to take shape against the State of Israel and the United States. Many will lose their way...

If you’ve ever found yourself spiraling after watching a news video, this episode of The Patrick Madrid Show is your spiritual guidance. Be Watchful, Not Paranoid Patrick and Producer Cyrus explore what it means to discern the signs of the times without falling off the deep end into anxiety or conspiracy theories. Yes, we live in crazy times. Yes, there are real threats. Yes, AI can deepfake the Pope now. But that doesn't mean we need to panic. Don’t Believe Everything You See on the Internet Patrick talks about how we're bombarded with fakes and frauds, especially on social media. Be discerning. Check your sources. Here’s how: -Go to Vatican News for real updates from the Church -Stick with trusted Catholic sources like Relevant Radio -Don’t share shocking news until you’ve verified it How to Not Freak Out When the World Is Burning (Spiritually Speaking) Cyrus reminds us: “Go to confession. Get right with God.” That’s the spiritual equivalent of taking out insurance and installing a fire alarm. If you’re in a state of grace, you’ve got nothing to fear. This world isn’t our home. Like St. Teresa of Ávila said: “All things are passing. God never changes.” If you’re still worried? Just remember Padre Pio’s quote: “Pray, hope, and don’t worry.” Don’t believe every headline or deepfake -Stay smart: check sources, especially on Church news -Be ready: Go to Confession, receive the Eucharist, stay rooted in Christ -Remember who wins in the end (Jesus) Pray hard, scroll wisely, and keep your soul squeaky clean. We’ve got work to do, but we’re not doing it alone. Stay faithful, not fearful.

We are, by nature, discriminating beings. We develop taste — for art, food, fashion, architecture. We learn to tell what is real from what is imitation, what is durable from what is fleeting. We become connoisseurs of culture, cuisine, aesthetics.   So what happens when that same discriminating capacity is turned inward?   This is what yogic philosophy demands. It says: if you can be discerning with worldly things, how much more precious — how much more urgent — is it to become a connoisseur of consciousness?   Instead of savoring flavors, we savor states of mind. Instead of curating experiences, we curate clarity. Instead of acquiring possessions, we acquire purity — śuddhi. And instead of merely enjoying the world, we seek to understand the enjoyer — the bhoktā — and realize its unity with the impeller, preritā.   The Yoga Sūtras speak of viveka-khyāti — the dawning of discriminative wisdom — as the final stage before liberation (YS 2.26–2.28). This viveka is not cynicism, nor cold analysis. It is the ability to discern puruṣa from prakṛti, the eternal from the transient, the seer from the seen.   Haṭha Yoga trains the body and prāṇa to become instruments of precision. But the real fruit of yogic effort is the flowering of this inner viveka: the clear, unmistakable knowledge of who we are and what we are not.   And this is where the teachings of the Upaniṣads and the Gītā converge: in showing us how to become refined enjoyers — not those trapped by the senses, but those who, through purification, become capable of tasting the divine in everything.   The yogin becomes, in this light, not a renouncer of life, but its most discerning participant — one who recognizes the unity of all three and acts accordingly, with wisdom, love, and purpose.   So let us ask ourselves: in the vast buffet of worldly things, we often become sophisticated. Can we become as refined, as nuanced, as discerning in the domain of the sacred?   Let us become connoisseurs of the spirit — cultivating taste not only for truth, but for the way it reveals itself subtly, mysteriously, intimately — in the breath, in silence, in scripture, and in selfless action.   To know Brahman, the Upaniṣad says, is to know everything worth knowing. That knowledge is not collected. It is tasted.   And the one who tastes it, becomes — śuddhir bhoktā — the purified enjoyer of the eternal.   Practice LIVE with me exclusively on Omstars!

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Cameron and Nathan wade into the chaos of current global events—from missile strikes in Iran to plane crashes in India—and ask a critical theological question: how should Christians respond to a world that feels like it's unraveling? Rather than offering false certainty or prophetic guesswork, they reflect on the emotional and spiritual toll of nonstop news and the dangers of distraction, drawing from Scripture, C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters, and their own lived experiences. This episode challenges believers to reclaim attention, prioritize the local over the global, and discern the difference between what's simply a problem and what is your problem. For Christians seeking thoughtful, biblically grounded dialogue in a noisy world, this conversation offers clarity, conviction, and grace.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.
