In today's episode of Morning Manna, we explore Proverbs 7:6–10, where Solomon peers through his window and witnesses a young man drifting toward destruction. What begins as innocent curiosity leads to the very doorstep of temptation. We examine the dangers of spiritual naiveté, the seductive pull of compromise, and the need for vigilance in a darkening world. This timeless warning reminds us to guard our steps, our hearts, and the paths we choose to walk.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop talks with Larry Diamond, co-founder of Healing with the Diamonds, about his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health and his work helping others do the same. They explore topics like heart-brain coherence, the alchemical journey, insulin resistance, seed oils, and the deeper spiritual dimensions of healing, weaving in references to David Hawkins, Rupert Sheldrake, and the lost wisdom of the divine feminine. Larry shares insights on metabolic testing, ancestral eating, and the importance of authentic living, while also touching on the role of parasites—his term for the forces keeping humanity in fear and incoherence. You can find more about Larry and his work, as well as access his consulting, at healingwiththediamonds.com, on Instagram and Facebook at Healing with the Diamonds, or listen in iTunes to his upcoming podcast.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop introduces Larry Diamond of Healing with the Diamonds; they discuss his healing journey, health coaching, and the meaning of heart-brain coherence.05:00 Alchemical journey, crystals, the hero's journey, integrating masculine and feminine energies, and the idea of parasites feeding on fear.10:00 Kindness vs niceness, morphic fields, Rupert Sheldrake's theories, and quantum entanglement as evidence of interconnectedness.15:00 Scientism vs true science, metabolic illness, citizen science, Larry's 2013 health transformation.20:00 Metabolic syndrome, C-reactive protein, fasting insulin, insulin resistance, and Larry's weight loss story.25:00 Seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and strategies for restoring metabolic health.30:00 Carb cycling, primal eating, intuitive healing, and ancestral wisdom.35:00 Spirituality beyond religion, Yeshua vs Jesus, divine feminine, and writing your own gospel.40:00 Living authentically, kindness in daily life, and finding healing in sovereignty and connection.Key InsightsLarry Diamond shares how his journey from severe metabolic illness to vibrant health became the foundation for Healing with the Diamonds. He explains how hitting rock bottom in 2013 inspired him to reject mainstream dietary advice and embrace a primal, whole foods approach that reversed his insulin resistance and helped him lose over 100 pounds.A major theme of the conversation is heart-brain coherence, which Larry describes as essential for true wisdom and discernment. He connects this to ancient teachings, referencing Yeshua's “sword of discernment” and suggesting that Western culture intentionally suppressed this knowledge to keep people in fear and mental fragmentation.The episode explores the alchemical journey as a metaphor for inner transformation, likening it to Joseph Campbell's hero's journey. Larry emphasizes integrating masculine and feminine energies and overcoming ego as key steps in remembering our divine nature and embodying authenticity.Larry critiques scientism, which he calls the inversion of true science, and encourages listeners to reclaim citizen science as a path to health sovereignty. He shares practical tools like testing for C-reactive protein, A1C, fasting insulin, and using triglycerides-to-HDL ratios to assess metabolic health.He identifies the “Big Four” dietary culprits—seed oils, refined carbs, ultra-processed foods, and sugar—as drivers of chronic illness and advocates returning to ancestral foods rich in natural fats and nutrients. He stresses that flavor and enjoyment are critical for sustainable healing.On the spiritual side, Larry reframes the Abrahamic religions as distortions of deeper wisdom traditions, contrasting the figure of Yeshua (aligned with love and sovereignty) with the institutionalized Jesus narrative. He highlights the divine feminine, Sophia, as a source of intuition and co-creation with the cosmos.Finally, Larry encourages listeners to “write your own gospel and live your own myth,” seeing authentic, kind, and sovereign living as both a spiritual and practical act of resistance to what he calls the parasite class—forces of fear and manipulation seeking to block human awakening.
How can we keep Christ's commands if we feel so weak? We can't—at least, not in our own strength. But Jesus never asked us to. As we abide in Him, He enables us by His Spirit to walk as He walked. Through simple steps of memorizing, meditating, and setting our minds on His Word, He empowers a life of joyful obedience and deeper communion.In this series, we've seen that true love for Christ is shown by keeping His commandments—not to earn His favor, but because we already have it. As we treasure His Word, He transforms our minds, fills our hearts, and draws us into deeper intimacy. Obedience is not a burden, but a pathway into the joy and presence of the One we love.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Send us a messagefor those who are operating with Holy Spirit discernment, there is no doubt that we have reached the last prophetic minutes of the Last Hour. The dramatic events that mark God's End-time Calendar are unfolding all around us – with the next major event to take place being the Rapture of God's True Church.And while Scripturally proven, not only is the “Catching Up” of God's redeemed ones before the Tribulation Period of God's Wrath which will fall upon an unbelieving world - being challenged or denied by many in the Church – but even the reality that we are in the last prophetic moments leading to the End of the Age - and an eternity spent either with the Father in Heaven – or with the enemy of men's souls in the fires Hell - either being ignored or not believed, as well. It is an echo of the company of doubters Peter referred to in 2 Peter 3:4, where they cried out: “Where is the promise of His Coming? Forever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”However, we have reached the moment in time when things are most certainly not as they were even a few decades ago. Prophecy is dramatically unfolding before our very eyes with confirmation that not only are we the last generation – but the only generation that can truly expect – and are even now witnessing - the final events Lord Jesus warned would take place just prior to His Return in the Second Coming – making the Rapture of His True Church even more imminent.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Wait a minute — that's not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and host of Transformed, Dr. Greg Gifford steps in as guest host to discuss the AI revolution and how it is impacting you. Be sure to check out Dr. Gifford's new book, “Lies My Therapist Told Me”. Details below! Segment 1: • Chatbots now offer therapy, relationship advice, and worldview shaping—are you ready for AI “friends”? • Most people have only 3 close friends; AI companies say they need 15—and they're offering artificial replacements. • Hebrews 5:12—Discernment is a skill Christians must actively develop in an AI-saturated world. Segment 2: • AI “therapists” provide emotional support, but give subjective, humanistic, and often dangerous advice. • Real people need wise pastors and Christian friends, not algorithms affirming their every feeling. • Chatbots reflect the worldview of their programmers—so what belief system is shaping your child? Segment 3: • AI chatbots now advise teens on relationships, mental health, even abortion—without parental oversight. • These algorithms censor biblical views while promoting secular moral narratives. • Christians must recognize: chatbots aren't neutral—they're digital missionaries for a humanistic worldview. Segment 4: • AI should never replace church community for relationships, wisdom, or counsel—it's the wrong tool. • Use AI like Google: for research, not for life decisions or relationships. • Be discerning, not fearful: Christ reigns over algorithms, but your mind and your kids' minds need protection.

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | 2Timothy 2:23-26
We're not just watching history—we're living in the middle of God's unfolding purposes. In this message, Pastor Allen Jackson calls us to wake up, speak up, and stand with bold faith. As he refers to Scripture from throughout the Bible, Pastor Allen teaches if you reject the Truth and you follow evil, you will face a God of wrath and anger. That's not a threat; it's awareness (Romans 2:8). As the nations rage and Israel takes center stage, we must understand our role as God's people in this unique moment. It's time to embrace responsibility, reject passivity, and align with God's eternal promises. He's moving—let's not miss it.

Mini-series Whiteness is Shape-ShiftingPt. 1: When Fascism Rebrands — Elon Musk and the Aesthetics of Whiteness In this episode, Maureen dives into the shape-shifting nature of whiteness—how it survives by mutating into rebellion, reason, and innovation. She takes us into the political spectacle surrounding Elon Musk's “America Party,” his tech-fueled propaganda, and the cultural silence that followed his Nazi salute on a presidential stage.Drawing on the work of W.E.B. Du Bois and Ruha Benjamin, Maureen traces how whiteness adapts—selling domination through calm logic, clean design, and “free speech.” What we're witnessing isn't an outlier. It's a blueprint. And without discernment, we risk becoming part of its performance.This episode is an invitation to slow down, notice what pulls our attention, and ask: Is this charisma—or alignment? Is this disruption—or repackaged dominance?We also draw from the film Sinners as a cultural mirror. In the film's world, vampires can't harm anyone unless they're invited in—a haunting metaphor for how whiteness operates. It doesn't demand domination outright. It seduces us into silence, performance, or comfort—and then feeds on our complicity. Discernment, in this sense, is our refusal to offer that invitation.In this episode we explore:Elon Musk's rebranding of white supremacist logicW.E.B. Du Bois' concept of the psychological wage of whitenessRuha Benjamin's framework of the New Jim CodeHow whiteness sells itself as progress—while reproducing harmWhy discernment is a critical skill in the age of performanceThis week's reflection:Where have I mistaken sleek language, tech-forward branding, or contrarian leadership for actual transformation?Where do I follow charisma over alignment—and how does that shape who I trust, hire, or elevate?What truths might be hiding underneath what looks “logical,” “objective,” or “neutral”?What's working, what's not—and for whom?This is not about shame—it's about sight. Discernment isn't suspicion. It's care, clarity, and choice.For more resources or to join the community, visit: www.eyesonwhiteness.com www.cultivatingintersectionalleadership.comSupport the showThis episode was created with deep love, and deep thanks to the frameworks and tools within Cultivating Intersectional Leadership, a course I co-created with Diedra Barber.

Episode: “Guard Your Discernment” Host: Ciera Wilson Welcome back, y'all! Can you believe we're already halfway through 2025? In this heartfelt and timely episode, Ciera Nicole shares powerful insights from her personal journal, unpacking the importance of discernment and standing firm on the word of God.Drawing from the story of Adam and Eve, Ciera reminds listeners how deception begins with doubt—and how the enemy uses subtle questions to shake our spiritual confidence. With scripture from James 4:7 and John 10:10 as our anchors, this episode challenges us to resist confusion and cling to truth.
The same day, two friends and fellow entrenovators (entrepreneurs who innovate) asked two profound questions. The answers prompt an acumen in discernment and feelings of inner strength, or can set in motion a mindset of self-judgment and feelings of anguish and despair. What path will they choose?
In today's episode, we're digging into spiritual discernment. Everyone practices discernment daily—what to wear, what to eat, who to trust—but spiritual discernment is something deeper. It's not just a good habit—it's a biblical command. So what is the gift of discernment, and does that mean only some Christians are expected to use it? Or is spiritual discernment something we're all called to walk in? I'll break down the three areas where every Christian must exercise discernment: Truth vs. error Good vs. evil Sin vs. not sin If you've ever wondered how to sharpen your spiritual radar in a culture full of confusion, this episode is for you!

Segment 1: • The Methodist church (and now PCUSA) shows what happens when you abandon Sola Scriptura. • Liberation Theology and LGBT compromise start with bad hermeneutics. • “Herman Who?” (soon free) will help you see why hermeneutics matters for staying faithful. Segment 2: • Not all modern worship is shallow—some songs (like Matt Papa/Boswell) get it right. • Most contemporary worship, though, remains me-centered and theologically thin. • Discernment in music shapes your view of God and worship. Segment 3: • Young people are leaving church for reasons deeper than they realize: they think faith is shallow, anti-science, and overprotective. • PLAY THE MAN cards equip young men for real spiritual battle. • Culture says “follow your desires,” but God's design offers something far better. Segment 4: • God's laws aren't restrictive; they're good for you and guard your joy. • Many reject Jesus without knowing the real Jesus they're rejecting. • Joe Rogan's conversations hint at the hunger for truth that only Christ satisfies. ___ Thanks for listening!

In today's Morning Manna, we uncover the chilling profile of the one Solomon calls a “perverse man”—a man whose words are twisted, whose actions are subtle, and whose heart is set on sowing division. Proverbs 6:12–15 warns us that not all danger wears a villain's mask—some plot quietly with gestures, whispers, and deceit. But Scripture assures us: their end is certain, sudden, and without remedy. Join us as we explore how to recognize, avoid, and guard against the spirit of discord in our own hearts and in our communities.Join the leading community for Conservative Christians! https://www.FaithandValues.comYou can partner with us by visiting https://www.FaithandValues.com/donate, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.Get high-quality emergency preparedness food today from American Reserves!https://www.AmericanReserves.comIt's the Final Day!

Feeling stuck, trapped, or frustrated with yourself? In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Greg Bottaro unpacks what true interior freedom really means—and why so many of us struggle to experience it. Drawing on Catholic mindfulness, St. John Paul II's rich teaching on human freedom, and years of clinical experience, Dr. Greg breaks open why we do the things we don't want to do, how hidden patterns keep us from the good we desire, and what it actually takes to become who God created us to be. This is an invitation to go deeper than surface-level self-help and begin building the kind of freedom that leads to holiness, health, and real human flourishing. Key Topics: The difference between capacity for freedom and acting in freedom Why we do the things we don't want to do—and can't do the things we want The subconscious patterns that hijack our choices Moving from automatic habits to conscious, virtuous action How our daily choices shape who we become Learn More: CatholicPsych Mentorship Program: Get one-on-one support for the areas where you feel stuck.

As Uranus enters Gemini, we begin an eight-year cycle of collective nervous system disruption, technological evolution, and truth-seeking through paradox. This is a revolution of thought, voice, and perception, where duality is no longer something to split from, but something to integrate.Midweek, the Full Moon in Capricorn trine Mars in Virgo brings clarity, embodied choice, direction and a call to align our actions with our deeper commitments. After the recent waves of spiritual disorientation and energetic rupture, this Moon reminds us of what's real, what's sustainable, and what we're ready to build.In this episode:Uranus enters GeminiFull Moon in Capricorn at 18°, trine Mars in VirgoHow July tones the nervous system for long-term realignmentThemes explored:Nervous system rewiring and multiplicity as medicineEmbodied choice and somatic integrityReleasing false safety to make space for soul aligned actionDuality, discernment, and the integration of paradoxDevotional disciplineTHANK YOU for being here.Private Mentorship Clarity CallInner Compass: A North + South Node CourseA Free Evolutionary Archetype GuideKamana use the code ALIO15 for 15% offPound Jewelry use the code ALI20 for 20% offLUME red light therapy box for $260 offEarth Archive's Rainforest Serum - use the code ALIOFSTEDAL for 11% offUse the code "PODCAST" for 10% off an astrocartography or astrology session with me.Catori Life jewelryThank for you being here.Your presence means the world.
