Podcasts about Discernment

Today we reflect on prophetic dreams signaling a season of increased hearing and discernment, and we offer simple, practical keys on how to participate with these words.    

What exactly does an energy coach do?After three different conversations brought me back to essentially the same question, I started thinking about how I describe the work I've been doing for nearly a decade.The simplest answer?I speak languages of the soul.Mediumship. Psychic development. Medical intuition. Intuitive energy healing. Psychic investigations and missing-person work. Ancestral and womb healing. Meditation. Akashic Records. Quantum healing. Belief work. Somatics. Astrology. Potentials and future outcomes.Different modalities. Different languages. But underneath all of them is the same foundation:The modalities are languages.
Intuition is how we receive.
Discernment helps us understand what we're receiving.
Self-trust allows us to work with it.
The foundation holds all of it.In this episode, I'm sharing how I actually work with people, why your energy is your currency, and what happens when we begin paying attention to where we're spending, leaking and investing it.We also explore future potentials, psychic information, quantum energy and why intuitive development isn't about predicting or controlling everything that comes next.It's about building a strong enough foundation to weather the storm — and hold the expansion.In this episode:
• What I mean by “energy coach”
• The many languages of intuitive work
• Energy as currency + your energetic “iCloud”

What if finding our way home has less to do with hurrying toward an address—and more to do with trusting the quiet instincts God has placed within us?In Episode 27, Janell reflects on the box turtle that keeps returning to her Virginia garden and its remarkable homing instinct. As A Birth Season draws toward its close, this little creature becomes a beautiful metaphorical mirror for transition: move slowly, carry home with you, and trust the way forward even when you cannot yet see where you will land.Perhaps home isn't something we have to chase.Perhaps, in its own mysterious way, home is finding us.Connect with Janell & The Heartlifter Way on SubstackWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠janellrardon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@janellrardon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theheartlifterway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: Heartlift WellnessRevisit ⁠⁠⁠"When God Speaks in Metaphors"⁠⁠⁠Revisit ⁠"Unlearning with The Waiting Room"⁠Download the "Principles of Discernment" PDF: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust What is Taking Shape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the "Discernment Prayer" to use during our Birth Season: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Prayer PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"The Three Pots" ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Graphic to use during the meditative exercise.Download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"The G.E.N.T.L.E.

What if you're saying exactly what you mean—but somehow you're still not getting the connection you want? In this insightful coaching session, Christine works with Gaby, a self-described direct communicator who has become increasingly disappointed by the way friends and family respond when she tries to address hurt feelings or problems in their relationships. After becoming a mother, Gaby found herself less willing to tolerate behaviors that didn't feel good to her. She began speaking up more clearly, expecting that honesty would open the door to deeper conversations and stronger relationships. Instead, many of the people closest to her seemed to retreat, become defensive, or avoid the conversation altogether. That leaves Gaby wondering: If I'm the common denominator, am I the problem? Christine offers a different perspective. Gaby's directness isn't necessarily the problem—but the order of her communication may be getting in the way of what she actually wants: connection. Together, they explore emotional validation, vulnerability, defensiveness, motherhood, inner child healing, and the difference between communicating what's true and communicating it in a way another person can actually receive. Christine introduces a simple but powerful framework: connection first. Connect before you correct. Connect before you ask. Connect before you collaborate. If you've ever thought, "But I'm just being honest," only to have someone become defensive or shut down, this conversation will help you understand why—and give you practical language for approaching difficult conversations differently. Press play to learn how adding vulnerability, curiosity, and connection to your directness can help you communicate your needs without abandoning your truth. Consider / Ask Yourself Do you pride yourself on being direct but often find that other people become defensive? When you're hurt, are you communicating because you want connection—or because you want the other person to understand what they did wrong? Did you grow up feeling emotionally validated, seen, and supported when someone hurt you? Are you offering solutions when the person in front of you may simply want to be heard? Are you asking the right people to meet your emotional needs—or going to the proverbial "Chinese restaurant when you want nachos"? Key Insights and A-Ha's Being direct doesn't automatically create connection. Sometimes what we want more than a solution is simply to feel seen. A lifetime of not feeling emotionally validated can make being understood feel especially important in adult relationships. Directness without enough vulnerability or curiosity can unintentionally activate defensiveness. The phrases "The story I'm making up in my head is..." and "What I'm making that mean is..." can help create personal responsibility while lowering another person's defensiveness. Connecting before correcting, asking, or collaborating can completely change the tone of a difficult conversation. Part of inner child healing is learning how to communicate as an adult in ways that make it more likely our needs will be met. Even excellent communication can't guarantee someone will meet you emotionally. Discernment about who is capable of giving you what you need still matters. How to Deepen the Work Before an important conversation, ask yourself: "How can I connect with this person first?" Experiment with replacing accusations or conclusions with curiosity: "The story I'm making up in my head is..." When someone shares a struggle with you, pause before offering a solution and consider whether they may simply need validation. Notice whether anger or hurt is leading your communication. Give those feelings a healthy place to be expressed before entering the conversation. Practice taking responsibility for your side of the communication without taking responsibility for the other person's response. Remember Christine's framework: connection first, connection first, connection first.

In this powerful panel conversation I sit down with two incredible women from my mastermind community, Lori Pine and Stacey Salyer, for an honest conversation about what it really means to step into your authority as a leader. Both women bring decades of corporate experience (Lori ran a billion-dollar business; Stacey came out of the male-dominated property management industry) and are now navigating what it looks like to build their own brands and become the go-to authorities in their respective fields. We get into the responsibility of authority, why a casual "oh, I love her" can carry more weight than we realize, and how to have the tough conversations when someone isn't who they seem to be. We talk about Stacey's ego-driven belief that she could just make a course and have hundreds of thousands roll in, Lori's expensive coaching investment that felt like burning cash in a bonfire, and the "electric fence" moments that shaped who they are now. We unpack the "Cheesecake Factory of consultants" trap, why niching down is terrifying but necessary, and the bow-and-arrow metaphor that will change how you think about the restriction phase you might currently be in. Make sure to come back for Part 2, where we go even deeper into what it takes to lead at this level. Liked this episode?

NEW AGE WHISTLEBLOWER: Entities & Claiming Our Sovereignty | Tony Sayers | TSP ArchivesEpisode descriptionTake a trip into the TSP Archives as Rob Kalil welcomes back fan-favorite guest and New Age whistleblower Tony Sayers for a raw, uncompromising discussion about spirituality, entities, energetic manipulation, mind control, and reclaiming personal sovereignty.Tony shares his perspective on the hidden dangers within the New Age movement, including deceptive spiritual teachings, outside energetic influences, technological and metaphysical manipulation, and the importance of developing discernment. How can people recognize spiritual deception? Are some supposedly positive practices giving away our power? What does it really mean to claim sovereignty over our minds, bodies, and energy?Tony Sayers is an activist, writer, vlogger, public speaker, and energy-work practitioner. Since beginning his awakening journey in 2013, he has worked relentlessly to expose corruption, psychological manipulation, mind control, and what he views as hidden metaphysical influences affecting humanity. His work has expanded into spiritual laws, technological manipulation, entity interference, and alternative energy-healing practices.This archived conversation remains just as provocative and relevant today. Tony always brings raw truth—and this episode is no exception.

Not everything that carried you through one season is meant to come with you into the next.In Episode 26 of The Heartlifter Way, we continue our Five Gentle Conversations from “A Birth Season” by exploring the sacred practice of release. Like the acorn that nourishes the emerging oak until its work is complete, some patterns, expectations, roles, and burdens may have served a purpose—and now be ready to be released.Today, we gently ask:What has completed its work in your life—and what are you ready to leave behind?Because sometimes letting go isn't loss.It's making room for what is becoming.Connect with Janell & The Heartlifter Way on SubstackWebsite: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠janellrardon.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@janellrardon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@theheartlifterway⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: Heartlift WellnessRevisit ⁠⁠"When God Speaks in Metaphors"⁠⁠Revisit "Unlearning with The Waiting Room"Download the "Principles of Discernment" PDF: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Trust What is Taking Shape⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the "Discernment Prayer" to use during our Birth Season: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Prayer PDF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"The Three Pots" ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Graphic to use during the meditative exercise.Download ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"The G.E.N.T.L.E.

Have you ever said, “I don't know what to do,” and then spent days, weeks, or even years asking everyone else what they think? Sometimes you genuinely don't know. But sometimes you do know something - and what you're actually struggling with is the uncertainty, fear, or other people's reactions that might come with honoring it. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I'm sharing one of my own experiences of knowing what I wanted long before I trusted myself enough to fully choose it. We'll also talk about why this can be especially complicated for empaths, who are often taking in everyone else's feelings, preferences, and reactions alongside their own. You'll learn how to distinguish between “I don't know what to do” and “I know, but taking action feels hard,” why discomfort doesn't automatically mean you're making the wrong decision, and a simple practice for separating what you know from what you're afraid of. Because someone else's feelings can be real without becoming instructions for your life. In this episode: Why “I don't know” can mean several very different things How Brenda's own career change challenged her self-trust Why empaths can confuse other people's reactions with information about what they should do The difference between nervous-system activation and intuition Why the “right” decision doesn't necessarily feel easy How information-seeking can keep us from acting A simple two-column practice for separating knowing from fear Join me for Yes to Me If there's a decision, boundary, relationship, opportunity, change, or desire you've been circling, bring it to Yes to Me on September 15 from 6–8 PM Pacific. You don't need to arrive knowing the answer. Come fully in the wobble.

You may think you don't have psychic abilities, but you probably do! If you've ever wondered why your psychic senses feel inconsistent or hard to trust, it's not because you lack the gift. It's because psychic senses don't work like physical senses, and no one teaches you the difference. In this episode of Soul Elevation, Kara Goodwin explores how psychic senses are not black and white, why physical senses vs psychic senses operate on differently, and how learning to tune into what's already there can unlock your natural intuitive abilities. You'll learn: - The crucial difference between physical senses and psychic senses  - Why thinking psychically should be "loud and clear" keeps you blocked - How clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience & claircognizance actually show up subtly - How to develop psychic abilities and recognize what's already present - Why you ARE psychic, you just might not have learned to translate the signal yet This conversation will help you trust your own inner guidance system.

A Question to Carry: What can you see now that you couldn't see at the beginning of our "Birth Season: 90-Days of Discernment?"We begin a Five-Day Closing of a Birth Season in Episode 24. Over the next five days, we will look back over the past 90 days, not to analyze, but to remember. Together, we'll gather the moments, the gentle nudges, the unexpected turns, and the surprising metaphorical mirrors that appeared along the path. We will consider what they might be revealing now. Sometimes we can only recognize what God has been quietly forming in us when we take the time to turn around and look at all that has been on the path behind us.

What if becoming a high-value woman has less to do with being more successful and put together  — and more to do with becoming harder to hijack and be thrown out of center?In this solo episode, I unpack what I believe actually makes a woman high-value: self-mastery, emotional regulation, discernment, feminine embodiment, and the ability to stay deeply connected to herself no matter what is happening around her.Because being successful, desired, disciplined or productive means very little if you can't actually enjoy the life you're creating and stay grounded during chaotic times.I chat about:Why a high-value woman has a high threshold for interruption and protects her attentionHow to feel your emotions without letting every feeling become a command to act onWhy peace can initially feel boring when you're used to chaos and constant stimulationHow to stop consuming endless self-development content and start actually embodying itWhy high value means being deeply ambitious while being satisfied, regulated, contentß´Time Stamps:00:00 - 02:56 - What the term “high-value woman” really means02:57 - 11:14 - Self-respect, boundaries & protecting your attention11:15 - 20:15 - Emotions are information, not instructions20:16 - 25:55 - Why peace can feel boring first & learning to enjoy life25:56 - 30:37 - Consuming less, integrating more & not attaching meaning to everything30:38 - 34:20 - Discernment, self-trust & wanting more without operating from dissatisfaction34:21 - 35:17 - What actually makes a woman difficult to hijackConnect with Laura: Laura's Website: ⁠⁠https://www.lauraherde.com/⁠⁠Laura's Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/laura.herde/⁠⁠Laura's 1-1 Coaching: ⁠⁠https://www.lauraherde.com/application-1-1⁠⁠Laura's Coaching Certification Course: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/embodiedcoachacademy/⁠⁠>> EMAIL ME TO CONNECT/ FOR QUESTIONS: hello@lauraherde.com>> FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM FOR MORE CONTENT: ⁠⁠@laura.herde ⁠⁠Feel free to share this episode with your bestie, and tag us on IG when you listen so we can repost you.If you're a loyal listener and would like to support the show, leave us a rating/ review, it means the world!Make sure to be subscribed to UNFUCK YOUR LIFE, we publish episodes for you every single Tuesday.Thank you so much for tuning in, love xx

Rooted Discernment & The Afro Druid Ethos: Exploring how Christian faith, divine sovereignty, and curiosity coexist with modern tools—from AI and astrology to mindful reflection—when used as mirrors rather than life command centers. The Art of Healthy Escapism: Reflecting on Douglas Adams's Mostly Harmless, Vance Rodriguez, and how stepping away into books and quiet spaces offers a grounded return to clarity rather than life abandonment. Guarding Your Perimeter Against Fraud: Breaking down a Fresno Ponzi scheme, red flags in business, and the necessity of due diligence over false urgency, hype, and unverified promises. Bravo Breakdown & Monday Night Live Recaps: Unpacking the latest drama across The Real Housewives, exploring grief, boundary-setting, and the contentious debate surrounding Porsha Williams, Shamea Morton Mwangi, and Claudia Jordan. Key Takeaways God remains the source; tools remain secondary, and moral agency stays with the individual. Never allow false urgency or hype to replace independent due diligence in business or life. Healthy escapism always includes a conscious return—stepping back helps you see the broader picture clearly.

Living a godly life in an ungodly world can be costly. Scripture makes it clear that believers should not be surprised when obedience to Christ brings rejection, ridicule, or resistance. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Paul's warning in 2 Timothy and Jesus' words in John 15: those who belong to Christ will sometimes face opposition precisely because they no longer belong to the world. When Christians pursue purity, righteousness, and integrity, a culture walking in darkness may resent the light their lives represent. But God does not call His people to stand alone. The Holy Spirit gives believers power to withstand the pressures around them, while God's Word exposes lies and trains us in righteousness. Scripture teaches, corrects, rebukes, and equips us to live faithfully in every circumstance. The more deeply we immerse ourselves in God's Word, the more our hearts and minds become aligned with His will. Obedience becomes clearer. Discernment grows stronger. And standing for Truth becomes less about resisting the world through sheer willpower and more about walking closely with Christ. When pressure comes, stay rooted in Scripture and dependent on the Holy Spirit. God has given you everything you need to stand firm, walk in the light, and remain faithful to Him. Prayer: God, thank You for Your Spirit within me to guide me to respond to worldly thinking with Biblical wisdom. Thank You for Your Word that exposes the lies around me. Help me to stay in Your Word so that my heart and mind will be aligned with Yours. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil” (John 3:19). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

The Demonic Truth About GATE | Gifted & Talented Children's Program or Frequency Warfare Psyop?Welcome to part four of our How to Spot a Demon series, where Rachel Fiori dives into one of her most requested topics: the GATE program. If you were ever pulled out of class for Gifted & Talented Education testing, tested with strange childhood games, or given a mysterious pink drink, then this episode is going to hit different. Rachel shares her personal theory on how these programs may have been used to identify psychically gifted children in an effort to win the frequency war we are in. This episode connects the dots between childhood testing programs, frequency warfare, third eye suppression, and the larger spiritual war between starseeds, lightworkers, and the parasitic forces that have tried to keep humanity asleep for generations. If this episode resonates with you and you are ready to go deeper, heal your trauma, strengthen your discernment, and learn how to actually work with energy and frequency at a mastery level, Masters of Self University is open and waiting for you. The Masters of Self University Podcast is your highest source of Sacred Truth and Universal Wisdom, offered by Rachel Fiori, mystical teacher, psycho-energetic healer, & CEO.

When you're in a season of transition, one question can feel especially pressing: How do I know what my next step is?We often think we need complete clarity before we move forward. But sometimes what we're really looking for is certainty—the assurance that we're making the right decision and won't regret it later.In this episode of Navigate, Tim explores a different approach: instead of trying to figure out the whole path, focus on what you already know and the next faithful step you can take. Sometimes that step isn't a major decision at all. It may be a conversation, an experiment, a question, or simply giving yourself permission to explore.You'll also be invited to consider three coaching questions:What do you already know to be true about this season?What is one step you could take that would help you learn something?What would your next step look like if it didn't have to answer every question about your future?You don't need the whole path illuminated. Sometimes you just need enough light for the next faithful step.Want to go deeper? Join Tim for the live Navigating Transition workshop on September 22. Together, we'll explore a practical framework for understanding what happens during seasons of change and how to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.Learn more and register: https://encompasslifecoaching.podia.com/navigating-transition-live-workshopSupport the showThanks for listening!

Empaths are often incredibly good at understanding everyone else. But how much of that empathy are you giving yourself? In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda sits down with psychiatrist, bestselling author, and empath expert Dr. Judith Orloff for a conversation about empathy, boundaries, intuition, self-trust, and the importance of self-empathy. Because caring deeply about other people doesn't require abandoning yourself. Brenda and Dr. Judith Orloff - known as the Godmother of the Empath Movement, explore what it means to experience the world as an empath, why boundaries matter, how sensitive people can work with their nervous systems, and what changes when you begin extending some of the compassion you so readily offer other people toward yourself. If you're someone who can understand everybody else's needs, feelings, reactions, and reasons—but still struggles to honor your own—this conversation is for you.

Brandon and Lindsy welcome Vicki Joy Anderson back to continue their conversation on spiritual warfare—but once again, the discussion takes an unexpected turn. Rather than focusing on dramatic demonic encounters, they explore the quieter battlefield of confusion, spiritual fatigue, distraction, and false doctrine. The conversation moves through discernment, the dangers of chasing fringe topics for fascination, the responsibility of Christian teachers and podcasters, the gospel of the Kingdom, Gnosticism in modern Christianity, the meaning of ekklesia, and what Scripture actually presents as humanity's ultimate hope. Throughout, they emphasize testing what we believe, keeping Jesus at the center, and recognizing that deceptive doctrine may be one of the most subtle forms of spiritual warfare.They Only Come Out At Night BookFrom Eden to AI Bookhttps://www.vickijoyanderson.com/Her mom's book!

Who are you in the places where you feel most like yourself—and who do you become in the places where you don't?Recording from Martha's Vineyard, Mo reflects on the hydrangeas covering the island and a lesson she first learned years ago: with certain varieties, the conditions in the soil can influence the color of the blooms.That observation opens a larger conversation about environment, identity, and self-expression.We are often quick to ask, “What is wrong with me?” when we feel guarded, quiet, tense, indecisive, or disconnected. But sometimes a better question is:What are the conditions here?In this episode, Mo explores how different environments can call different parts of us forward or send them underground. Some spaces make it easier to rest, speak honestly, ask for help, be playful, take risks, or receive support. Others can leave us bracing, editing ourselves, overfunctioning, or questioning what we know.Discernment matters, and not every person or environment deserves equal access to you. The invitation is to notice.In this episode:Why your environment matters without defining all of who you areHow contrast can reveal patterns you may not notice in your everyday lifeThe difference between challenge and constrictionWhy guardedness, quiet, or hesitation may sometimes be adaptationHow to notice when you are choosing how you show up versus reacting to the conditions around youWhy changing one condition can matter even when you cannot change the entire environmentHow environmental discernment supports self-discovery, self-trust, and self-expressionReflection question:Who do I become here and what do the conditions around me make easier or harder to express?You don't have to make an immediate decision about what you notice.

Between Earth Changes and Disclosure: A Q&A on Inner Guidance, Ascension, and UFO Contact Preparing for Change Through Inner Guidance James Gilliland opens the Q&A by describing the period as one of rapid and intense change and urges listeners to prepare practically while also developing an internal spiritual connection. He expresses concern for people affected by a reported disaster in Nepal and interprets large numbers of ravens at the ranch as spiritual messengers. Throughout the opening questions, he repeatedly emphasizes going into the heart, spending time in nature, clearing emotional trauma, and relying less on external authorities. A question about angels leads to a broader discussion of discernment, spiritual sensitivity, and what he describes as the need to prepare for major shifts. He also discusses controversial claims involving chemtrails, vaccines, weather manipulation, and controlled narratives, consistently presenting his worldview as one in which competing forces are shaping public perception. Kathy reinforces the theme by encouraging listeners to lean into their own discernment. Earth Changes, Universal Law, and the “Monkey Trap” When asked how future events might unfold, Gilliland says the process is fluid and describes it as two or three steps forward followed by one step back. He discusses earthquakes, volcanoes, solar activity, political power structures, alleged population-control agendas, and environmental manipulation within his broader spiritual interpretation of current events. He argues that Earth is self-healing and that people should listen to nature and to their own internal guidance when deciding where and how to live. He uses the image of a monkey trap—a monkey refusing to release rice inside a tethered coconut—to warn against attachment to possessions or circumstances when change is required. Gilliland describes “loving detachment” as important for navigating uncertain times. He ultimately frames the transition as a movement toward what he calls heaven on Earth, while predicting significant chaos as systems he considers incompatible with universal law collapse. Meditation, Discernment, and Spiritual Self-Mastery Kathy asks how people who struggle with inner guidance can learn to recognize it, and Gilliland responds with simple practices centered on nature, silence, meditation, emotional healing, and self-observation. He recounts a lama's advice to sit quietly in nature and focus on love, joy, and bliss until those qualities become one's state of being. The conversation expands into process-oriented therapy, past trauma, yoga, karma, and the idea that the spiritual “temple” is within the individual. Gilliland warns against surrendering authority to gurus, online personalities, or other external saviors and encourages listeners to develop their own internal “BS meter.” He and Kathy discuss using images of spiritual figures such as Mother Mary or Jesus as a way to observe inner emotional responses. Gilliland then describes personal visionary experiences involving Jesus, Mary, multiple incarnations, the unified field, and the idea that consciousness exists across many planes and dimensions. Kundalini, Ascension, and the Clearing of Emotional Burdens A question about Kundalini and the pineal gland leads Gilliland to caution against forcing spiritual energy before other aspects of the person are prepared. He says he prefers a top-down approach to clearing the chakras and recommends invoking the higher self or trusted spiritual figures as part of the process. The discussion later turns to forgiveness, anger, karma, life review, and whether unresolved emotional material can obstruct ascension. Gilliland describes forgiveness as a powerful release and says people should clear trauma and anger and forgive themselves as well as others. Kathy adds that belief systems themselves can hold people back if they remain uncleared. In a separate question about reincarnation and Archons, Gilliland recounts his own tunnel-and-light experience and discusses the Monad, Pleroma, divine feminine, Archons, and the importance of transcending fear, guilt, and unworthiness. Extraterrestrial Narratives, White Hats, and Ancient Civilizations Several questions focus on reptilians, political leaders, White Hats, Pleiadians, the Galactic Federation, and other extraterrestrial or multidimensional groups. Gilliland rejects blanket statements that every member of a religious, political, or extraterrestrial group is malevolent, even while describing a broader struggle between service-to-self and service-to-others orientations. He connects that struggle to his accounts of ancient Lyra, Atlantis, Lemuria, Enki, Enlil, the Anunnaki, underground civilizations, and Pleiadian involvement with Earth. He describes multiple levels of assistance ranging from terrestrial White Hats to Space Force, galactic federations, councils, and higher spiritual beings. The host also gives extensive political opinions about socialism, communism, capitalism, Vladimir Putin, the deep state, and international alliances. Across these subjects, his central spiritual theme remains that domination, control, and actions against humanity will ultimately collapse under what he calls universal law. Disclosure, Contact, and a Closing Call for Love The final questions address Dolly Parton, the violet flame, shielded spacecraft, and whether greater UFO visibility represents approaching disclosure. A submitted question refers to Dolly Parton's death and asks whether fame requires a dark spiritual contract; Gilliland instead describes her as caring, generous, and spiritually pure while offering his own interpretations of her choices and possible spiritual origins. He says different colors or frequencies of light, including the violet flame, can be used within spiritual practice. On UFO disclosure, he argues that spacecraft are becoming less concealed and that meaningful contact will come through people rather than governments or official secrecy structures. He tells listeners that contact should be approached through love, joy, bliss, personal growth, and discernment, while warning that not every nonhuman or spiritual entity should automatically be assumed benevolent. The episode concludes with a call to keep an open mind, loving heart, and pure intent, followed by UFO-footage commentary and a promotional invitation to watch more shows, Skywatch footage, and workshops.

ALPHA HOUR EXHORTATION – EPISODE 1387

In this August series wrap-up, Dave Jenkins examines the common thread behind counterfeit spirituality, prophetic culture, prosperity theology, emotionalism, and other deceptive movements: a shift away from the authority and sufficiency of God's Word. Christians do not need new revelations, spiritual trends, or captivating personalities. In Christ, believers have everything necessary for life and godliness. This episode calls listeners to test every teaching by Scripture, grow in biblical literacy, and stand firm in the truth as the church ministers in a post-truth culture.

How might your Working Genius influence the way you naturally pray?In episode 121 of the Working Genius Podcast, Patrick Lencioni and Cody explore the idea that Working Genius may shape not only how people work, but also how they naturally approach prayer. They discuss how different forms of prayer, including spontaneous prayer, journaling, contemplation, structured prayers, silence, and group prayer, may appeal to different kinds of wiring. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to understand their natural preferences without becoming limited by them, because some of the most meaningful spiritual growth may come from praying outside their genius.Topics explored in this episode:(00:00) How Your Wiring Shapes PrayerPat introduces the idea that people may have natural prayer preferences connected to their Working Genius, just as they have preferences in the way they approach work.He explains that understanding those tendencies can reduce guilt or self-judgment when someone does not naturally enjoy praying the same way another person does.(02:19) Finding Your Natural Prayer StyleCody connects his Discernment and Galvanizing combination to spontaneous, in-the-moment prayer and considers how disruptive versus responsive tendencies might also affect prayer.Pat gives examples of how different Working Genius combinations might lend themselves to group prayer, contemplative prayer, journaling, or more structured practices.(04:46) Why You Should Pray Outside Your GeniusPat explains that people should not limit themselves to doing only the work, or prayer, that comes naturally to them.He describes how structured prayer such as the rosary can become especially meaningful when he intentionally embraces it despite it not being his natural preference.(07:12) Stretching Beyond What Feels ComfortableCody reflects on his difficulty maintaining practices such as journaling and silence and considers how those challenges may relate to his natural Working Genius wiring.Pat explains that accepting a natural preference can actually make it easier to engage other forms of prayer without resentment, guilt, or the feeling that prayer has become work.(09:37) Prayer, Sacrifice, and Spiritual GrowthCody compares praying outside one's natural wiring to fasting, suggesting that choosing something other than the path of least resistance can shape who a person becomes.Pat distinguishes joyful sacrifice from reluctant obligation and closes by encouraging listeners to spend a few minutes praying either in their natural way or in a way that stretches them.This episode of The Working Genius Podcast with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: www.tablegroup.com.

We get into how to build a signal, BECOME the invitation, and not miss out on life's biggest opportunities by sitting in the passenger seat. We talk about:Reframing "waiting for the invitation" and how to move beyond the LITERAL interpretation to actively create conditions (podcasting, writing, showing up) that invite opportunities.Making outreach and pitching feel warm and not annoying AF. Building genuine rapport, finding connections, and doing research before reaching out vs. cold-pitching someone "hey girl haven't talked since we were 16 but would love for you to join my course! Link in bio!"Reframing labels (Projector, HSP, ADHD, rejection-sensitive) as data points to design a personalized, sustainable approach to visibility and business.Discernment over volume. How to say no to opportunities that don't fit, and trusting what's meant to work out, will! Making pitching fun and creative again.

Most episodes of Father and Joe assume that we are either in a good spiritual place or at least trying to move toward one. But what happens when we are not? What happens when prayer feels empty, hope feels thin, God feels distant, and the temptation is to quit, change everything, or decide that we have failed?Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks use the wisdom of **Saint Ignatius of Loyola** to explore spiritual desolation: the heaviness of spirit that can bring darkness, sadness, tepidity, lack of faith, lack of hope, lack of love, and the feeling of being separated from God. Father is careful to distinguish spiritual desolation from an ordinary low mood. Desolation is spiritual in character, and it affects how we interpret God, ourselves, and the decisions in front of us.The central warning is practical: do not make major spiritual changes while in desolation. Just as it is unwise to hire or fire someone from a place of panic or heaviness, it is dangerous to make permanent spiritual decisions when our interior state is clouded. In consolation, we see more clearly. In desolation, the enemy can distort our thoughts and make discouragement feel like truth.But desolation is not proof that we are failing. It may reveal a bad choice or a neglected habit, but it is also a normal part of the spiritual life. God can allow it to purify us, humble us, increase our dependence on Him, and teach us that we cannot manufacture grace by ourselves. The response is not shame. The response is awareness, perseverance, prayer, examination, and small acts of resistance: stay in prayer a little longer, return to the habits you know are good, take care of the body, and remember that consolation is often closer than it feels.**Key Ideas*** Spiritual desolation is a real part of the spiritual life; it is not automatically a sign that you are failing.* Do not make major spiritual changes or permanent decisions while in darkness, discouragement, or heaviness.* Desolation can include lack of faith, hope, love, joy, energy, or a false feeling of separation from God.* God may allow desolation to increase humility, dependence, perseverance, and deeper trust.* Practical resistance matters: pray, examine what happened, care for your body, and hold on with sufficient grace.**Links & References**None explicitly referenced with a clear official/source link in this episode.**CTA:** If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

What does it take to become the person others trust when the decision is difficult, the numbers do not tell the story everyone wants to hear, and someone has to bring the conversation back to reality?In this episode of the Culture Matters Podcast, Jay Doran sits down with Dan Bartemus, Director of Finance at MP Parts, for a conversation about leadership, preparation, self-belief, financial discipline, customer relationships, and the power of becoming a steady voice inside an organization.Jay and Dan begin by reflecting on the immersive leadership experience they shared at Hope Farm, where Dan was pushed far outside his comfort zone through acting, improvisation, vulnerability, and public performance. For someone who openly discusses his struggles with self-esteem, the experience became proof of what can happen when you stop allowing discomfort to determine what you are capable of doing.From there, the conversation moves into Dan's role in finance and why financial leadership is about much more than numbers.Dan describes himself as the "voice of reason" inside an entrepreneurial organization. Entrepreneurs generate ideas, possibilities, and momentum. Finance has the responsibility to bring discernment to that energy by asking what is realistic, what the business can support, what the numbers actually say, and how today's decisions affect where the organization will be twelve months from now.Sometimes leadership means encouraging the big idea. Other times, it means being willing to walk into the room and explain why the exciting idea simply does not make sense right now.That requires conviction.Dan explains why leaders should never enter important conversations unprepared. When presenting an uncomfortable truth, challenging an idea, or recommending a major decision, credibility comes from doing the work beforehand. Know the numbers. Anticipate the questions. Understand the evidence. Develop expertise. Then have enough conviction to stand behind what you believe while remaining open to being proven wrong.The conversation also explores the culture of MP Parts and its commitment to giving customers a sense of belonging and peace of mind. When a customer's truck is down, the transaction is about much more than selling a replacement part. It is about understanding the pressure that customer is experiencing and doing everything possible to help solve the problem.Ultimately, Dan's own career is an example of the principle behind Theodore Roosevelt's quote that opens the episode: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."With a journalism degree and no traditional accounting background, Dan took opportunities as they appeared, learned the systems around him, found mentors willing to invest in him, prepared himself for greater responsibility, and eventually became a Director of Finance.In this episode, Jay and Dan discuss:Why growth often begins outside your comfort zoneThe leadership lessons of vulnerability and improvisationOvercoming low self-esteem through action and experienceWhy finance can become the stabilizing force inside an entrepreneurial companyThe importance of forecasting where a business is goingBalancing entrepreneurial optimism with financial realityWhy discernment is one of Dan's greatest leadership strengthsCreating customer loyalty by showing up when customers need you mostWhat "a sense of belonging and peace of mind" looks like in practiceWhy trust is built through consistency and steadinessHow to present difficult facts without losing convictionWhy preparation creates confidenceThe importance of mentors throughout a careerSeeing potential in people and helping them develop itWhy opportunity matters most when you have prepared yourself to receive itDan's journey is a reminder that careers rarely unfold according to a perfect plan. Sometimes the next opportunity is something you never imagined yourself doing.The question is whether you have done enough work on yourself to be ready when it arrives.

What if the fear driving our exhaustion, anxiety, and self-protection is actually pointing us toward a false view of ourselves or God? We continue our conversation with Jamie Winship about discovering our true and specific identity, learning to tell the truth about our fears, and allowing confession to lead us toward repentance and transformation. We explore why living from a false identity keeps us self-focused and self-protective, while knowing who God created us to be frees us to become more other-focused and loving. Jamie also shares a practical daily discipline of releasing burdens to God, receiving what He has for us today, and remembering that today is enough. Together, we unpack how fear can serve as a directional signal, how community helps us discern what God is inviting us into, and why God's presence—not our performance—is the foundation of transformation.What We LearnedThe false self is driven by fear, self-protection, and self-promotion, while the true self is able to live with other-focused, self-emptying, unconditional love.Identity is described as the organizing principle of every living system; when we live from our true identity, we become reciprocal and connected rather than isolated and self-focused.Knowing our identity goes beyond being a child of God or being filled with the Holy Spirit; we can also discover the specific ways God has uniquely designed us to contribute and serve.Confession is more than saying "I'm sorry"—it is telling the truth about what we actually believe, including our fears, our view of God, and our sense of separation from Him.Truth telling can lead to repentance, mind change, and ultimately transformation because we cannot change what we refuse to acknowledge.Fear is a directional signal, not a decision maker. When fear surfaces, we can ask God, "What am I afraid of?" and examine what the fear reveals about what we believe about God, ourselves, or others.A daily practice of releasing burdens and lies to God, then receiving what He has for us that day, helps us live in the truth that today is enough.Discernment becomes clearer when we stop assuming every opportunity is an assignment from God, identify what makes our hearts come alive, and remain open to the changing seasons of what He invites us into.Resources MentionedLiving Fearless — Jamie WinshipIdentity ExchangeTrueface1 John 1:9Romans 12:1-2Produced by Sound of a Rose — https://soundofarose.comSupport the show

ROOTED | Rooted in DiscernmentIn a world filled with competing voices, shifting values, and growing instability, how do followers of Jesus remain grounded?

Plus, we're tackling whether Christians should stay and fight in states moving away from biblical values, “Christian manifestation,” having babies in your 40s, family phone habits, and honoring your parents when reconciliation feels impossible.Chapter – Get free, unbiased help finding the Medicare plan that fits your needs at http://askchapter.org/realhelp .Angel Studios – Stream Seeking Persephone on Angel at http://angel.com/heidi .My Freedom Cart – Shop everyday essentials with more intention at http://myfreedomcart.com .Shop MyFreedomCart for trusted, American-made products that support your values.http://myfreedomcart.com/heidiShow mentions: http://heidistjohn.com/mentionsWebsite | http://heidistjohn.comSupport the show! | http://donorbox.org/donation-827Rumble | rumble.com/user/HeidiStJohnYoutube |    / @‌heidistjohnpodcast  Instagram | @‌heidistjohnFacebook | Heidi St. JohnX | @‌heidistjohnFaith That Speaks Online CommunitySubmit your questions for Fan Mail Friday | http://heidistjohn.com/fanmailfriday

Discernment in dating is not about spotting every red flag, it's about not creating green ones that were never there. Sabrina opens with the story of the emotionally unavailable man she spent years making excuses for, then breaks down the difference between anxiety and intuition, why your gut is quiet and your anxiety comes with a story, and how the halo effect keeps you ignoring obvious incompatibility. She covers boundaries versus walls, whether "high standards" are self-trust or self-protection, how to trust yourself again after being lied to, and why limerence and fantasy keep you stuck in situationships that were never going anywhere. If you're tired of overthinking texts, playing detective with attachment styles, and hoping someone becomes who you need them to be, this one is for you. See it for what it is, not for what you want it to be.

How do you know if it is God's voice or just your own thoughts? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach tackle one of the most common questions Christian men ask when they are trying to follow Jesus with purpose and faith. Hearing God is not a formula, a magic trick, or a way to get divine permission for what you already want. It is a relationship that must be developed, trained, and protected.This conversation explores what helps and hinders a man's ability to hear from the Lord. Scripture is the primary way God speaks, and the more His Word gets in you, the easier it becomes to recognize His voice. The Holy Spirit also teaches, guides, reminds, and prompts, but He is not something to control. He is a person to honor. Prayer becomes the place where a man exchanges his wishes for God's will, and other believers can become part of how God corrects, confirms, and protects His people.For men who want real discernment, this episode is a call to stop chasing answers and start pursuing God. Sin, anxiety, coveting, wrong inputs, and isolation dull spiritual senses, while Scripture, prayer, purity, a neutral heart, and brotherhood sharpen them. Biblical masculinity is not just making bold decisions; it is learning to submit your desires, listen with humility, and obey what God has already made clear. If you want to hear God more clearly, the way forward is deeper relationship with Him.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Today's episode is a special re-release about one of our most powerful tools; discernment. You don't have to attend every argument you're invited to.

Fr. Mike reviews one of the most powerful verses in Proverbs, dealing with personal discernment and wanting to follow our own will instead of God's. He also goes into a deeper explanation of the prophet, Jeremiah, and how we ourselves can reflect the actions of Israel in the Old Testament. Today's readings are Jeremiah 2, Ezekiel 28, and Proverbs 14:9-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
