In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Hannah Aline Taylor to explore themes of personal responsibility, freedom, and interdependence through her frameworks like the Village Principles, Distribution Consciousness, and the Empowerment Triangle. Their conversation moves through language and paradox, equanimity, desire and identity, forgiveness, leadership, money and debt, and the ways community and relationship serve as our deepest resources. Hannah shares stories from her life in Nevada City, her perspective on abundance and belonging, and her practice of love and curiosity as tools for living in alignment. You can learn more about her work at loving.university, on her website hannahalinetaylor.com, and in her book The Way of Devotion, available on Amazon.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Hannah Aline Taylor, introducing Loving University, Nevada City, and the Village Principles.05:00 They talk about equanimity versus non-duality, emotional mastery, and curating experience through boundaries and high standards.10:00 The focus shifts to desire as “who do I want to be,” identity as abstraction, and relationships beyond monogamy or labels.15:00 Hannah introduces the Empowerment Triangle of anything, everything, nothing, reflecting on reality as it is and the role of perception.20:00 Discussion of Nevada City's healing energy, community respect, curiosity, and differences between East Coast judgment and West Coast freedom.25:00 Responsibility as true freedom, rebellion under tyranny, delicate ecosystems, and leadership inspired by the Dao De Jing.30:00 Love and entropy, conflict without enmity, curiosity as practice, and attention as the prerequisite for experience.35:00 Forgiveness, discernment, moral debts, economic debt, and reframing wealth consciousness through the “princess card.”40:00 Interdependence, community belonging, relationship as the real resource, and stewarding abundance in a disconnected world.45:00 Building, frontiers, wisdom of indigenous stewardship, the Amazon rainforest, and how knowledge without wisdom creates loss.50:00 Closing reflections on wholeness, abundance, scarcity, relationship technology, and prioritizing humanity in transition.Key InsightsHannah Taylor introduces the Village Principles as a framework for living in “distribution consciousness” rather than “acquisition consciousness.” Instead of chasing community, she emphasizes taking responsibility for one's own energy, time, and attention, which naturally draws people into authentic connection.A central theme is personal responsibility as the true meaning of freedom. For Hannah, freedom is inseparable from responsibility—when it's confused with rebellion against control, it remains tied to tyranny. Real freedom comes from holding high standards for one's life, curating experiences, and owning one's role in every situation.Desire is reframed from the shallow “what do I want” into the deeper question of “who do I want to be.” This shift moves attention away from consumer-driven longing toward identity, integrity, and presence, turning desire into a compass for embodied living rather than a cycle of lack.Language, abstraction, and identity are questioned as both necessary tools and limiting frames. Distinction is what fuels connection—without difference, there can be no relationship. Yet when we cling to abstractions like “monogamy” or “polyamory,” we obscure the uniqueness of each relationship in favor of labels.Hannah contrasts the disempowerment triangle of victim, perpetrator, and rescuer with her empowerment triangle of anything, everything, and nothing. This model shows reality as inherently whole—everything arises from nothing, anything is possible, and suffering begins when we believe something is wrong.The conversation ties money, credit, and debt to spiritual and moral frameworks. Hannah reframes debt not as a burden but as evidence of trust and abundance, describing her credit card as a “princess card” that affirms belonging and access. Wealth consciousness, she says, is about recognizing the resources already present.Interdependence emerges as the heart of her teaching. Relationship is the true resource, and abundance is squandered when lived independently. Stories of Nevada City, the Amazon rainforest, and even a friend's Wi-Fi outage illustrate how scarcity reveals the necessity of belonging, curiosity, and shared stewardship of both community and land.

Send us a textIn this heartfelt conversation, Bible narrator and voice actor Dan Parr shares how an unexpected calling led him to adapt and record the entire Bible in clear, modern language—one book at a time—guided by prayer and the Holy Spirit. Dan opens up about early life moments that shaped his faith, why he chose the World English Bible as a public-domain base, and how he carefully honors traditional scholarship while making scripture accessible to today's listener. Together, we explore what it means to invite Jesus into our everyday lives and lean on the Holy Spirit as helper, counselor, and friend.We also get practical: discerning spirits (1 John 4), the Holy Spirit's role in remembrance and guidance (John 14), and living “sealed” and softened (Ephesians 4). We touch on angels, intention, frequency, and how aligning with love clears the noise. I share my own journey of welcoming Jesus back into my heart and the relief that followed. If you've ever felt curious about scripture but unsure where to begin, this episode meets you with warmth, honesty, and hope. HighlightsDan's origin story: the faith that surrounded his birth and the kindness that drew him back to church as a teen. From voiceover artist to Bible narrator: choosing the World English Bible, adapting phrasing for clarity, and staying faithful to historic interpretation. How the Holy Spirit partners with us—bringing scripture to remembrance, offering counsel, and helping us live with compassion. Discernment 101: testing spirits (1 John 4), Paul in Acts 16, and why “holy” really matters. Angels as ministering spirits—and how intention and alignment with love shift our inner landscape. Julie's personal share: releasing old heaviness, welcoming Jesus back into her heart, and finding lightness again. Where to start: sampling single Bible books (e.g., Luke, Acts) on Audible and letting the journey unfold. Why this episode mattersIf religion has ever felt heavy, this conversation reframes faith as a relationship and daily practice—accessible, loving, and practical. You'll leave with language, references, and a gentle nudge to invite the Holy Spirit into whatever you're facing today. Support the showLink to Support this Channel: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2153284/supporters/newJulie's Book: https://amzn.to/3K2ZS05Julie's Website for more information, comments or requests: https://lifeofloveandjoy.comI receive a small commission when you purchase from these links.

00:00 Emily and Edmund kick off the episode by introducing the sixth and seventh petitions: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”. They explore how modern generations oscillate between moral relativism and hyper-vigilance about right and wrong, despite many still praying regularly. This sets the stage for examining how the Catechism helps us discern objective morality amid today's shifting cultural views. 08:08 Edmund and Emily show how over-intellectualizing the Faith led to two extremes, either thinking we can resist temptation on our own (Pelagianism) or feeling powerless without special election (Jansenism). These often show up today as indifference or scrupulosity. They unpack the Greek roots of “lead us not into temptation,” noting it means both “don't let us enter” and “don't let us yield,” and encourage praying for God's help to trust His will and avoid yielding to temptation.15:46 Edmund and Emily emphasize that temptation isn't sinful, only yielding to it is. They encourage humility and reliance on God's grace instead of shame. Using everyday examples like marital frustrations over an unloaded dishwasher, they show how praying for virtues (e.g., patience) can help in the midst of temptation. They highlight the Catechism's wisdom on discernment, distinguishing growth-forming trials from temptations that lead to sin and discuss the importance of avoiding both indifference and scrupulosity.22:15 Edmund and Emily illustrate how charity and community can justly take precedence over strict observance, reminding us that relationship trumps anxious rule-keeping. They stress discernment in distinguishing between trials and temptations. The motto: “rules without relationship lead to rebellion,” highlights the heart's posture in prayer. 28:05 Edmund and Emily wrap up with practical tips for catechists: integrate the Ten Commandments into prayer by guiding an examination of conscience that moves beyond a checklist to a heartfelt dialogue with God. They stress honest, heart-level prayer and bringing specific struggles before Jesus, asking for grace so that doctrine informs our lived encounter, not just intellectual assent.An OSV Podcasts partner.

The goal is to recruit 16,000 new blood donors from Black heritage backgrounds to help meet the urgent demand for better-matched blood for patients living with sickle cell disorder. The first Blood Drive will take place on 25 September 2025, Brixton with a mission to inspire 16,000 new Black heritage donors to register and give blood. Sickle cell is the fastest growing inherited condition in the UK. The best-matched blood for patients often has the RO subtype, 10x more common in people of Black heritage. Demand for Black heritage donors has risen by 50%, but many patients still receive less-than-ideal matches. Patients with sickle cell may need blood from up to 100 donors every year.Register to donate via Sayo's campaign link:https://bit.ly/it-takes-a-village-simply-sayoFollow Sayo for updates:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simplysayo/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@simply_sayo?lang=enYouTube: https://x.com/Simply_SayoFor extra, EXCLUSIVE content every single week subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/THEUNCUTPODCASTSend us your dilemma here: https://uncutpodcast.komi.ioFollow us on our personal Instagram accounts:Beatrice - https://www.instagram.com/beatriceakn/Tammy - https://www.instagram.com/tammymontero/Sharon - https://www.instagram.com/sharonodu/OUR SPOTIFY PLAYLIST: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/40twtNh14y2qomPUPuFlj8?si=4d3340a1c2de4719OUR APPLE MUSIC PLAYLIST: https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/bts-song-of-the-week/pl.u-RRbVY4RueR8gyGConnect with us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theuncutpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theuncutpodcast_X: https://x.com/theuncutpodcastSnapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/theuncutpodcastWhatsapp Channels: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vao6ZsWId7nFFpo3A83X?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaTn0l6nmk6QCRy7hwbPt7ArWIT91nSJw4wgMKEw9RO-QQppHQ1yhTmzq0_aem_mH5QBC-N5WKGzQ54BLrHjA Hosted on Acast.

I Corinthians 12:4-13 Following the summer time of gifts discernment, each September Raleigh Mennonite recognizes the many volunteers who help make the church function. This Sunday Susan provided a brief overview of church history and how Mennonites incorporated the concept of the "priesthood of all believers" as a fundamental tenet of our faith and community life together. The idea is that not only can we communicate with and have direct access to God, but that there are indeed no roles that are the exclusive domain of the clergy. And as we read in I Corinthians 12, all roles are important, and we all have to use our God-given gifts together for the church to thrive. When we use our gifts, or graces, it energizes us. At the same time, we need to check our perceptions of our gifts with others and listen for the affirmation of others in helping us see the gifts that we might have and be called to use. That's where discernment comes in.

Do you ever feel like Bible reading has become routine? Maybe life’s distractions, spiritual fatigue, or lack of inspiration have dulled your passion for God’s Word. But Scripture reminds us that “the word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12)—it’s not just words on a page, but a divine conversation meant to transform our hearts. Joe Navarro, known online as @joechristianguy encourages us in today's prayer and devotional to approach the Bible not as a chore, but as a gift from our loving Father. By asking God to renew our desire for His Word, experimenting with new ways of study, and remembering that Scripture is for transformation, not just information, we can rediscover joy in meeting God daily through His truth. Main Takeaways God’s Word is living and active—it has power to refresh our weary souls. Prayer is the starting point: ask God to rekindle your hunger for Scripture. Changing your approach—like trying a new translation, using audio Bible, or joining a group—can spark renewed excitement. Bible study is not just about knowledge, but about transformation. Delight, not obligation, is what God desires for us as we engage His Word. Bible Verse References Hebrews 4:12 – God’s Word is living and active.

Bible Verse of the Day: "For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." – Hebrews 4:12 How Is the Word of God Living and Active? (Hebrews 4:12) Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that Scripture is not just ink on a page but a living, active force in the lives of believers. Unlike human words or philosophies, God’s Word is constantly at work—penetrating, discerning, and transforming us. The imagery of a “two-edged sword” underscores Scripture’s precision. It cuts deep, revealing hidden motivations and exposing the true state of our hearts. Nothing is beyond its reach—not our thoughts, not our intentions, not even the parts of us we try to keep hidden. This verse also carries both comfort and challenge. Comfort, because God’s Word brings life, direction, and encouragement. Challenge, because it confronts us with truth, reminding us that nothing is hidden from God’s gaze. The call is clear: approach His Word with humility, letting it shape us into people who live in step with His will. Daily Meditation God’s Word is alive, speaking across all times and cultures. It penetrates beyond outward behavior, reaching our deepest thoughts and motives. Scripture is an instrument of both encouragement and correction. Through the Word, we encounter God’s presence and align with His purposes. Let’s Pray Father, I come to You honestly—sometimes my heart feels distant, and my excitement for Your Word fades beneath the weight of life’s distractions. But I know Your Word is living and powerful, and I long for that closeness again. Please rekindle a deep passion within me to seek You through Scripture. Open my eyes to see the beauty, truth, and life in every page. Stir my spirit with fresh hunger to know You more and to treasure Your voice above all else. Lord, forgive me for the times I’ve treated Your Word casually or out of routine. Help me approach it with awe and expectation, knowing that You are ready to speak each time I open my Bible. Let my heart burn with joy and wonder as I encounter You in new ways. Teach me to delight in Your truth and to let it transform me daily.In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reiki awakens intuition and helps you trust your inner guidance in both subtle and profound ways. In this Distance Reiki Share, Colleen and Robyn explore how Reiki opens the clairsenses, expands the heart light, and teaches discernment so you can recognize your unique intuitive style. Reiki shows us that everyone has intuitive ability. Some may see images, others feel sensations, hear words, or simply know. These differences are natural, and Reiki helps you discover and strengthen your own way of receiving guidance. Reiki heals the blocks that may hide the power of your intuition from you. The Reiki energy provides the frequency that allows intuitive impressions to grow stronger, and over time you learn to trust them in daily life. In this video you'll learn: * How Reiki activates intuition through your whole body.  * Reiki entrains your head brain, heart brain and gut brain to your higher consciousness   * Simple ways to notice whether your intuition comes through sight, sound, feeling, or knowing * How to recognize your clair senses without comparison or judgment * Practical discernment tips to observe energy rather than absorb it Robyn and Colleen were recently at that Sedona Reiki retreat and shared their experiences with the extra-ordinary beauty of Sedona, through the red rocks, sage green plant life, Juniper trees and the nature of the land and how Reiki entrains you to higher frequencies wherever you are, whether in nature, at home, or in your everyday routines. Join us for our free online Distance Reiki Share for our month-long focus on intuition, including guided journeys and teaching on the clairsenses, guided meditations, and practical Reiki teachings.

Pastor John teaches Christians how to use judgment in today's world.

In this episode, I unpack three big themes that show up again and again in spiritual work—judgment, discernment, and projection. We'll sort through what each one really means, why it matters, and how to catch yourself (and others) when old patterns sneak in.I'll talk about the difference between judgment and discernment, the drain of trauma dumping, and how projection shapes our interactions. We'll also look at boundaries—why they're not selfish, and how to hold them without guilt or pressure.Along the way, I share some practical reminders for staying aligned as a healer, and how to choose connection over being “right.” We'll close with a short healing session to bring the insights home and leave you in a place of calm and clarity.Timestamps: ⏰00:00 – Welcome and Introduction00:23 – Brunch Anecdote and Pancake Rant01:22 – Understanding Trauma Dumping02:30 – Judgment vs. Discernment04:59 – Projection and Its Impact07:08 – Setting Boundaries as a Healer08:37 – Prioritizing Self-Care and Alignment15:32 – The Importance of Inner Peace16:08 – Closing Thoughts and Healing Session

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. We are preparing to do an episode on popular YouTuber, Journalist and Podcaster,  ⁨Candace Owens and the reception she receives form the populace.  We think we need to lay some ground work. Are Christians aware of how discipled we've been in a culture of scoffers?  Are Christians aware that we live in a society that has trained us to never be concerned with what is true and to only be concerned with what our "team" thinks? What does the bible have to say about this type of behavior?In this episode, we discuss the heart of a scoffer through a biblical lens and we hopefully lay some foundation for why we should care about the things that Candace Owens and many others talk about, whether or not you agree with their take on the matter. Support the showHosts: Brandon and Daren Smith Learn of Brandon's Church Planting CallPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

Ryan Swanson introduces The Cord 2.0, highlighting two big additions—Check‑In Streaks (consistency‑focused medals) and bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges—and explains why accountability tools are meant to lead us to Jesus, not replace Him as the answer. He also unpacks motivations (relationships, ministry, family) and shows how these secondary motives should funnel us back to Christ as the true source of purity and victory. You'll also hear a refresher on The Cord's core features like daily 1–10 check‑ins, 90‑second video reflections, and the SOS button rooted in Ecclesiastes 4:10 (never alone).Topics DiscussedWhy The Cord exists: daily light and never‑alone accountability (Ecc. 4)How daily 1–10 check‑ins + 90‑sec videos keep it sustainableSOS button: instant “I'm not alone” signaling during temptationThe Cord 2.0 Feature #1 – Check‑In Streaks (consistency over “purity streaks,” with medals at 7/30/100 days and beyond)The Cord 2.0 Feature #2 – Bi‑weekly 3‑minute devotional challenges (trusted preachers; keeps groups Christ‑focused)Motivation vs. the Answer: letting strong motives lead you to Jesus, not replace HimKey TakeawaysAccountability is a means, not the end; Jesus is both the end and the means of purity.The Cord 2.0's Check‑In Streaks reward consistency, closing the “skip‑a‑bad‑day” loophole and keeping daily light on your heart.Short, bi‑weekly devotionals inject life and keep the focus on Christ so groups don't drift into a “dry confessional booth.”The SOS button helps you refuse isolation: you're known, prayed for, and expected to give account—tonight.Ready to download the Cord App?

Sermon Summary:In our exploration of Psalm 23, we discover that being led by our Good Shepherd requires one essential skill: learning to hear his voice. Just as sheep instinctively recognize and follow their shepherd's call, we must develop our ability to discern God's voice in our daily lives.David's declaration that "The LORD is my shepherd" reveals a deeply personal relationship with Yahweh, the covenant God who knows our names and cares for us individually. The psalm's imagery of green pastures and quiet waters points to a Shepherd who actively guides us to places of rest and refreshment, but only if we're listening for his direction.Jesus modeled this perfectly, doing only what he saw the Father doing and speaking only what he heard the Father saying. This divine communication happens in what we might call our imagination - the place where God's Spirit meets our spirit. Our imagination becomes the inner sanctuary where we encounter God's promptings and guidance.The challenge is learning to validate these divine nudges rather than dismissing them as "just our thoughts." When loving, kingdom-minded promptings arise, we need the courage to let them interrupt our plans. This requires walking through life with our spiritual walkie-talkie on, maintaining a listening posture throughout our day.Discernment comes through Scripture, examining the fruit of our actions, and aligning with Jesus' character. We're called to move beyond mere sin management to embrace the abundant life that comes from following the Shepherd's voice step by step along paths of righteousness.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship
