Cassandra Ditutala's message from Sunday 6 June

What if you got everything you ever wanted and it still wasn't enough? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally kicks off our annual This Is My Story summer series with the fascinating story of King Solomon.Solomon's story is fascinating because most of us expect cautionary tales from the "bad guys" but Solomon isn't a villain. He was a hero - the son of David, builder of the first Temple in Jerusalem. and writer scripture who God appeared to personally. He was the wisest and richest man who ever lived. Yet despite all of that, Solomon drifted from the Lord at the end of his life.Anybody can have a good beginning but your faithfulness is revealed through your ending.Are you spending your life pursuing things that can't satisfy, or are you spending your life pursuing the only One who can?

1 Samuel 15:1-35 • The Disobedience & Rejection of Saul (5/31/26) Jared Thomsen

In this episode of Sunday School Dropouts, host Andrew Kerbs is joined by memoirist and ex-Adventist advocate Melissa Duge Spiers to discuss her book, Holy Disobedience: Sex, Sin, and Secrets in the Biggest Church No One Knows. Melissa shares the incredible twenty-year journey of bringing her story to publication, including a decade where the manuscript sat untouched and the hurdles she faced with major publishers due to legal anxieties surrounding the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The conversation dives into the unique invisibility of the ex-Adventist community compared to groups like ex-Mormons, exploring the deep cultural conditioning that keeps these stories hidden. Through the lens of her memoir, Melissa reflects on the overwhelming reader response from various religious survivors who finally feel seen, while also discussing her appearance on Mormon Stories with John Dehlin.The discussion also digs into the messy, personal realities of writing a memoir and navigating family dynamics after revealing buried secrets. Melissa opens up about the delicate craft of protective storytelling, changing names, and the deeply disappointing conversation she had with her elderly father regarding the book. Looking toward the future, she shares a glimpse into her upcoming projects, including a novel and a true crime memoir tentatively titled Lies Wide Shut. Ultimately, this episode serves as a powerful call for listeners to deconstruct their faith, seek specialized religious trauma therapy, and find peace within life's inherent messiness.Guest Info: Melissa Duge SpiersWebsite: www.melissadugespiers.substack.com Social Media (Instagram) @the.glory.wholeGet Melissa's book, Holy Disobedience here!This podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

Deut. 28:58-68

Disobedience and Sin can leave you in ....

In this episode, Britten begins a new series exploring self-abandonment through the twelve houses of the birth chart, opening with the First House as the realm of arrival, direction, and how we enter the field of life. Returning to themes from her recent reflections on The Matriarchy is Already Here, she traces the relationship between shame, self-trust, and the ways we learn to leave ourselves behind.  Britten's Emergence Astrology sees the language as one of repair, recovery, renewal, and remembering. One that helps reveal where self-abandonment lives and what becomes possible when we choose to stay with ourselves. Britten explores the First House as the helm of the chart: the place connected to action, choice, and the way we steer the boat of our lives. She reflects on self-abandonment as a loss of trust in our own way of moving through the world and asks what it means to remain with ourselves instead. Along the way, she shares why the practice of listening with the Moon has become foundational to the reimagined Emergence Astrology Pathway, her one-to-three year program through the heart of her teachings. Rather than turning away from our own knowing, she invites listeners into a practice of attunement: listening, returning, and learning to trust themselves over time with the reckless freedom they deserve.   Learn More About The Emergence Astrology Pathway: The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a one-to-three year passage to utterly transform your relationship to being alive in your body on planet earth in present time. "The Matriarchy Is Already Here" is a phrase that came to Britten this year in a vision. In this vision, she sees the matriarchy not as a top-down political system that rises up with singular leaders. Rather, the matriarchy is all of us – in all bodies – learning to attune to and take care of the Younger Selves within us, helping us trust that we cannot be abandoned when we have ourselves. Disobedience is the way out. But first: we learn to listen within. We gather in community. We devote ourselves each to our own temples. We resource with the divine within and all around us. And we disrupt as we have the capacity to stay with ourselves through the storm of our true voices. The Emergence Astrology Pathway is a path through Britten's most refined, mature, and powerful curriculum. This experience is designed for those who ever find themselves in a position to support another. Whether you're an established therapeutic practitioner, a leader, a parent, or simply a human being with the sincere desire to show up in your fullest integrity, the Emergence Astrology Pathway will be the remembering and the revelation that you most yearn for.

My heart is grieved for the amount of souls walking around that will go to hell if we don't start speaking up. That's the reality we are facing. It makes me sad and we are running out of time. We need to be more bold than ever. We need community, we need other brothers and sisters in Christ to war with us. We need bold pastors who aren't afraid to preach with clarity, Boldness, and conviction. Be encouraged by this episode and let's get ready to ride the Lion into the scary unknown places that the Lord is taking us.    Freebie- www.simplyjenniferbrown.com

Israel was commanded to affirm God's law, and obedience would bring blessing in their land, families, work, and security. Disobedience would bring judgment, including disease, defeat, famine, and exile among the nations. These chapters show that Israel's life in the land depended on covenant faithfulness and obedience to the Lord's commands.Support the showStay engaged with new and up-to-date content, including newsletters, articles, podcasts, etc. Download the Teach Me the Bible App from any app store or Apple TV/Roku device.

God Blesses You in Your Obedience, but God Leaves You to the Consequences of Your Sin in Your Disobedience MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your relationship with God is only between you and God. God desires relationships with each of us, individually, even though you may have been fortunate enough to have a Godly mother, father, siblings, and/or a spouse. God has given us covenants upon which to build His relationship with you, as Paul tells us in Romans 8:34-35: “Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?". The people of the Old Testament found that living apart from God's covenant relationship brought disaster. God is a covenant God; He will bless you if you obey Him. If you disobey God, God leaves you to the consequences of your sins.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, you know how difficult it is for me to be in silence before you. At times it feels almost impossible, given the demands, distractions, and noise all around me. I invite you to lead me to a quiet, silent place before you — to a place where I can hear you as Elijah did. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 123). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Despair. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Joy. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Discover a sobering and hope-filled message from Judges 1:27–2:5 as Pastor Jim Schultz explores the themes of failure, disobedience, and true repentance. Why do we fail? This sermon unpacks the complex reasons behind failure, focusing on Israel's disobedience to God and the consequences that followed. Through this passage, we are challenged to examine our own hearts and recognize how sin can lead us away from God's best.Yet this message is not without hope. You'll be reminded of God's enduring grace, His faithfulness to His covenant, and the call to respond with genuine, godly repentance. Learn what real repentance looks like—not just regret, but a sincere turning back to God that leads to transformation.If you're seeking biblical wisdom, encouragement, and a deeper understanding of God's mercy, this sermon will point you back to the grace and forgiveness found in Jesus Christ.

Fear or faith—what shapes your life?In this message from Genesis 12:10–13:18, Abram's journey reveals how fear can lead to compromise, but also how God's grace overcomes our failures. Discover how faith produces generosity, how fear leads to disobedience, and why God's promises remain secure despite human weakness.Key Themes:⚖️ Fear vs. Faith⚠️ Disobedience driven by fear

This exploration of 1 Samuel chapters 9-15 presents a sobering comparison between earthly leadership and divine kingship. We encounter Saul, Israel's first king, a man who looked every bit the part with his height, handsomeness, and wealthy background. Yet beneath this impressive exterior lay critical flaws that would ultimately disqualify him from leading God's people. The narrative reveals how Saul's impatience led him to usurp priestly duties, his pride caused him to make rash vows, and his partial obedience resulted in outright disobedience. These aren't just ancient failures but mirrors reflecting our own struggles with control, deception, and selective obedience. The message challenges us to examine what sits on the throne of our lives. Are we grasping for control like Saul, or surrendering to God's timing? Are we offering God partial obedience while holding back in areas of comfort, security, or ambition? The contrast with Jesus is stark and beautiful: where Saul hid in baggage, Jesus stood before accusers; where Saul blamed others, Jesus took our blame; where Saul's kingdom ended, Jesus' kingdom has no end. This study reminds us that God looks at the heart, not outward appearances, and calls us to complete obedience rather than impressive sacrifices.

4. HEADLINE: Resistance Behind Bars: Evin Prison Trials and the Victory of Daily Disobedience GUEST AUTHOR: Nilo Tabrizy SUMMARY: Nilo Tabrizy highlights the enduring defiance of the Iranian uprising. She describes a symbolic "trial" staged by female political prisoners in Evin Prison, including Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi, against judges who sentence protesters to death. Despite 19,000 arrests and numerous executions, the spirit of resistance persists. While street demonstrations have shifted, the movement continues through daily civil disobedience, such as women appearing in public without mandatory hijabs. Artists like Parasu also perform in defiance of state bans. Tabrizy argues this visible rejection of state-mandated dress signals a permanent shift in Iranian society. 41721 PERSIA

Perhaps you are discouraged. If so, turn with me to the beatitudes to look for a beautiful way of living.The road to encouragement often starts with grief. Disobedience towards the ways of God often leads to relational disaster.           “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."Mourning is Godly grief that goes somewhere. Mourning is a key to right relationship with God. The route towards encouragement often leads thru mourning.  Join me for 7minutes and let's see if Jesus is right.https://youtu.be/Syg6x3jQl4I

When you look in Scripture, you can find some very stunning examples of people who had pockets of fear—and I'm talking about some great saints of old. For example, Abraham had a pocket of fear about being killed. Here is a man described in Hebrews 11 as a man of great faith. God called him from a prosperous and comfortable life and said, Go to a land I will show you, and Abraham simply obeyed. He packed up and went to a place he had never been before, leaving his family and familiar surroundings behind. Even though he did not know where he was going, he went. That took great faith. Would you be able to do what he did? He also was able to believe God could give him a son even though his wife was barren and they both were past the age of childbearing. That took tremendous faith. What really marks Abraham as a great man of faith was his willingness to offer that miracle son as a sacrifice because he believed God could raise the dead if necessary. Every time I read that story, I shake my head at this man of incredible faith. Yet, when he was traveling in Egypt, on his journey to the Promised Land, he revealed a pocket of fear. Abraham was afraid the Egyptians would kill him because of his beautiful wife, Sarah, whom they would want for their own. In fear, he told Sarah to tell less than the truth—to say she was his sister—to keep them from killing him. You’ll find this story in Genesis 12, and as I read it recently, I thought, “Abraham, what in the world was your problem? You believed God in all these huge areas, but you didn’t believe God could keep you and Sarah alive in Egypt? Where was your great faith?” Abraham had a pocket of fear, and it led him into sin. It began to dawn on me we all have these pockets of fear. We can have great faith in some areas, at some times, and then our faith falls apart the next day or the next hour or when we round the next corner. Paul wrote to the Romans: For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry. ‘Abba, Father' (Romans 8:15). Whatever you are fearful about, it’s not coming from the Lord. Of course, we have an enemy who loves to scare us to death about anything he can, because when we are fearful, it means we’re not trusting God. What is your pocket of fear? Let’s look at some of the more common ones. Is money your pocket of fear? Are you fearful of not having enough money, of losing your job, of losing your house, of going bankrupt, or of not being able to afford what you need or want? Frankly, this was a pocket of fear for me. Satan would try to get me thinking, “What if something happens? How will you pay your bills? You could lose your house, all your assets, your retirement money, and everything you own. You could go through all that in no time flat. What in the world will you do then?” That was a pocket of fear for me. Here's what I learned to do with this pocket of fear, when it started to possess me. I would say to myself, “Okay, suppose all those things happen. Imagine the worst: No money, no income, no house, no savings, no retirement. You’d survive; somebody in the family or some close friend would take you in until you could get on your feet again. It would not destroy you.” Then I would make myself claim a promise from the Bible. This was an act of my will, not my emotions. Pretty soon I began to laugh at myself for allowing my thoughts to go to this pocket of fear. It was a stronghold that held me for far too long. I'm so glad by God's grace I emptied that pocket of fear. Some good promises to claim for this pocket of fear are: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink: or about your body, what you will wear… Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they (Matthew 6:25-26)? And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). By exposing that pocket of fear to the light, by bringing it out in the open and forcing yourself to face the fear, it loses its teeth. It can’t bite you, because you’ve accepted the worst may and could happen, and if it does, God’s Word is still steadfast. He will deliver you. A good first principle in dealing with pockets of fear is to bring them out in the open and talk to God about them. Then find a verse of scripture to counteract them. Are you afraid of being alone? This fear can really take you down the wrong path, and some people are so possessed by it they’ve come to believe nothing is worse than being alone. I know; l used to be that way. I know many single people who are intelligent, have good jobs, and are very successful in many areas of their lives. But they are so fearful of being single forever that very often this pocket of fear causes them to stay in relationships far too long or allow relationships to develop which were obviously wrong from the beginning. Are you struggling with that pocket of fear—the fear of being alone or being single or not having someone to live your life with? If you allow this fear to continue, it will grow stronger and start to control your life. It could cause you to make very bad choices, and that could lead to misery. Will you bring this pocket of fear into the light? Think about it: What is so terrible about being by yourself? You can do what you want to do, spend your money the way you want to, eat when you want and what you want. Imagine what it would be like to be with the wrong person; aloneness is highly preferable to being with someone who is not right for you. Face the fact that you might be alone or single for the rest of your life. Get it out in the open and expose it to the light. Does it mean you cannot have a meaningful life? Of course not! This fear of being alone is an unreasonable fear. And here's the thing, the more you reach out to others and start helping others, the more your life will become so full of love and meaningful relationships, you’ll covet some time alone. Then, find some Scripture to remind you of God’s eternal presence in your life. Jesus promised he will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Nothing you can name will ever separate you from the love of God that you have in Christ (Romans 8:38-39). Concentrate on God’s promises to you, and defeat that pocket of fear of being, alone. It’s a monkey on your back, and you don’t need it. Are you fearful of rejection? For some people, being accepted, liked, and having the approval of others is more important than anything else, so that can easily lead to this fear of rejection. When we are fearful of being rejected, we allow that person or group who might reject us to have a lot of control over us. If I live in fear that you may reject me, you have a great deal of leverage in my life. I will do and say things to try to please you, to avoid upsetting you, and to gain your approval. Usually, the fear of rejection looks anemic when we bring it into the light. Are you willing to do that? Just expose it—admit you are fearful of being rejected and then ask yourself, “Why? Why is it so important for me to have the approval of this person? Why am I allowing them to have such power over me?” Probably the truthful answers to those questions will surprise you and you’ll see how foolish it is to live with that pocket of fear. Are you afraid of failing? When failing is fearful to you, it keeps you from doing very much because the road to success is filled with failures. Anything worth doing is worth doing wrong until you get it right! Fear of failure will rob you of many achievements. Or it will drive you to perfectionism and workaholism. Are you afraid of facing the reality that you can and will fail, just like everybody else? Is it difficult for you to believe you’re not as good as you think you are? Fear of failure may have a lot of pride wrapped up in it. It will be a great help if you’ll bring this fear into the open and expose it. Ask yourself, “So, what will happen if I fail? If I try and it doesn’t work out, will the world stop revolving?” The sooner you expose that fear to the light, the sooner you can find victory over it through God’s Word and prayer. Why is it important for us to deal with these pockets of fear? Because any area of fear is an area we are not trusting God, and without faith it is impossible to please God. When I have a pocket of fear, I know God is very displeased since it shows I don’t have faith in that area. You’ll remember Abraham had a pocket of fear that led to a very disgraceful episode in his life. How could such a man of faith have such a pocket of fear? Abraham found himself in this predicament because he was not totally obedient. God never intended for him to go to Egypt: that was Abraham’s idea to avoid a famine. Again, Abraham couldn’t trust God to feed them in a famine, so he came up with his own plan and did it his way by going to Egypt. One fear led to another, and that caused Abraham to sin. Disobedience will get us into these places of fear, and fear will cause us to disobey. John wrote there is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear… The one who fears is not made perfect in love (1 John 4:18). Back to Jesus—loving him supremely, making him Lord in every area of our lives, focusing our thoughts on him, spending time in his presence, knowing his Word better and better. This will drive out those pockets of fear. What is your pocket of fear today? Will you bring it out in the open, confess it, find Scripture to counteract it, and then focus on loving Jesus more perfectly in that area? If so, that fear will have to go, and you’ll be free from the control it has over you now. Truth sets you free, and Jesus is Truth. I urge you to pursue his victory over the pockets of fear in your life. You will please him when you do.

What if your spiritual life is struggling… not because you don't love God—but because you lack discipline?In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim get brutally honest about something most Christians avoid: spiritual and physical discipline. From gym habits to prayer habits, they unpack how consistency—not motivation—is what actually transforms your life. If you've ever made excuses, struggled with routine, or felt stuck spiritually, this conversation will hit close to home. As they say, “there's a thin line between excuse and disobedience.”This episode challenges the way we think about fitness, faith, and everyday habits. Are we treating our bodies like temples—or ignoring them? Are we feeding our spirit—or just scrolling and consuming? From practical routines like prayer rhythms and Scripture habits to deeper conviction about what we watch, listen to, and prioritize, this is a wake-up call for believers who want more than surface-level Christianity.

In this episode, Ashley Campbell discusses the binding nature of God's word, comparing it to the authority of a king's decree. Using the book of Daniel as a reference, she explores themes of obedience, the power of prayer, and the importance of seeking God's wisdom in leadership.

There always seems to be so much to do—fix the loose drawer, answer that email, mow the lawn, organize the closet. It's easy to procrastinate and push it all to next week. The to-do list grows, and eventually neglect catches up with you. Today, Pastor Ken warns you that the same is true spiritually. When you ignore what God has clearly called you to do, the effects don't simply disappear. Disobedience and a lack of follow-through carry consequences—sometimes lasting for years, even generations.

Send us Fan MailI recently had an onboarding call with a new wife to HLW (her husband was already in HLH for many months). She was very clear that her heart was checked out of her marriage. She wanted to pursue separation and eventually divorce. After listening to her story and knowing the current situation, I spoke the Truth that it would be unbiblical to leave her husband. She pushed for divorce the following week through manipulation of her husband for it to be "cheaper". This is direct disobedience to the Lord.In this episode, Chelsey shares a real life story of a wife with a heart of stone who God wants to give a heart of flesh. And the miracle that she has seen God do firsthand in her own marriage- that is waiting for this wife's surrender. Let this be a warning and a call to repentance for the wayward wife.

If this episode stirred something deeper and you're ready to move from insight into surrender, I created a short guided experience called From Awareness to Surrender.This mini course includes three short teachings, a guided exercise, and a prayer recorded over you to help you stop cycling and start responding differently—rooted in surrender, not striving.

In this episode of Fed by the Fruit, host KB takes a deep dive into the life of King Saul — Israel's first king, chosen by God yet ultimately rejected for his disobedience. From his humble beginnings in the tribe of Benjamin to his anointing by the prophet Samuel, Saul had every opportunity to honor God and lead well, but pride, fear, and repeated disobedience led to his tragic downfall. KB walks through the key moments of Saul's reign — his military victories, his failure to obey God's command against the Amalekites, his jealous pursuit of David, and his devastating final battle against the Philistines — and draws out three powerful lessons for believers today: obey the Lord and seek His will, don't misuse the power entrusted to you, and lead with humility as God calls you to lead. This month's memory verse is John 15:5 — "Apart from me, you can do nothing."Reach out to KB on Instagram and share your thoughts.

Disobedience isn't neutral. It costs more than we think.In this episode, we're talking about the real cost of disobedience in our walk with God. Not just obvious rebellion, but the small delays, the hesitation, the moments where we know what God has said but choose something else. Over time, that distance adds up and begins to affect our faith, our clarity, and our intimacy with Him.Obedience isn't about perfection. It's about surrender. It's about trusting God enough to say yes, even when it's uncomfortable, inconvenient, or doesn't make sense yet.If you've been feeling stuck, distant, or unsure in your faith, this might be the area to look at. Sometimes the breakthrough we're praying for is on the other side of obedience.tagsobedience to God, disobedience, Christian podcast, Christian faith, spiritual growth, following Jesus, surrender to God, delayed obedience, obedience vs disobedience, walking with God, hearing God's voice, Christian discipline, faith and obedience, trusting God, growing in faith, Christian encouragement, spiritual maturity, intimacy with God, Christian lifestyle, how to obey God, Bible based teaching, faith over feelings, obedience sermon, Christian motivation

Melissa Duge Spiers was raised as a several generations Seventh-day Adventist. It wasn't until years later, when she discovered information about her father, who had been both a youth pastor within the Adventist church and a Loma Linda-educated doctor, that Melissa would be called to deconstruct her entire relationship with the organization. “In my early middle age, I found out that my father, during his youth Co-founded by Ellen G. White, who claimed to possess the power of prophecy, the Seventh-day Adventist Church often emphasizes annihilationism (a belief in the Judgment Day) and the second coming of Christ. “Basically, it is at heart an end times cult still,” Melissa said, “It is severely high control in so many ways. And a lot of what they think makes them special, the true remnant, etc., is based on Ellen White, and it's not biblical.” Melissa noted the strict focus on a “great fear of sex” in the Seventh-day Adventist Church's founding. “That was one of the biggest control things, and purity culture, of course, is a control thing. But some of Ellen White's first writings were admonitions for mothers on preventing masturbation in children, in babies, and I know that was sort of a Victorian obsession, you know, very puritanical,” she said. Melissa also noted the association with John Harvey Kellogg and the Battle Creek Sanitarium, which was founded by the Adventists. Of Kellogg, she related, “He was big into the health message, which, of course, Ellen White carried on. But his huge obsession was preventing sex and lust … He himself never had sex his entire life. He was married, but never had children, never consummated the marriage. He was even obsessed with preventing masturbation, or anything like lust itself was the big sin, and so you just had to shut that down no matter what.” She also noted his theories that a high fiber diet, like that found in Kellogg's Corn Flakes, would supposedly help prevent sexual impulses. To this day, many Adventists choose vegetarian diets largely based on White's visions of the proper way to eat. Once Melissa was able to reconcile some of her own trauma around finding out about her father's past, she noted the patterns of abuse cover-ups within the church. “This is an organization that does this. They are practiced at this. This is what they do. And so, I started speaking out on social media,” she said. It's at this point that more abuse victims began to contact her. “At first, I just started saying I was raised in this really weird religion, and people started talking to me, and my DMs would fill up every day. I was abused. I was abused. I was abused. And so, I started interviewing survivors, and I started telling their stories,” she said. After accumulating lists of survivors, she had helped start a mass tort lawsuit through the law group Pintas & Mullins. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Send us Fan Maila senior rates trader with the closest seat to the federal reserve looks you in the eye and says the quiet part out loud: rates are impossible to predict. that single line detonates the whole religion of macro commentary, expert priesthood, and the endless chase for “signal” in GDP tweaks, inflation prints, and breathless basis point narratives. we follow that thread to a blunt standard for intellectual hygiene: if price did not move materially, the story is mostly theatre. from there, we go somewhere stranger and more honest. a photograph arrives from my friend ryk, an artist, launching a dirt bike over a 12-foot gap with zero hesitation and real consequences. it becomes the episode's central metaphor for disobedience, for stepping outside the soft prison of explanation, and for remembering what direct contact with reality feels like. I bring in adorno's critique of modern systems to describe how metrics and dopamine loops train us to copy certainty instead of thinking, turning us into spectators who consult, process, and react to official captions rather than deciding. the takeaway is practical for trading and investing, and broader than markets: watch behaviour not commentary, watch price not narrative, and stop handing your sense of reality to people who risk nothing beyond temporary embarrassment. if you're tired of financial television certainty, central bank fairy tales, and analysis that exists to justify fees, this is a reset. subscribe, share it with a friend who lives on headlines, and leave a review with your take: what's one narrative you stopped believing once you looked at price?Support the show⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes  ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

There are moments when you already know what the next step is—you've thought about it, prayed about it, and come back to it more than once. And yet, you still feel stuck. Not because you need more information, but because you don't know what will happen if you actually follow through. In this episode, we're talking about what it looks like to be obedient—even when the outcome is unclear—and how that connects to your health, your habits, and your daily decisions. This is for the Christian woman who wants to live with more clarity and peace, but feels caught in that cycle of overthinking, second-guessing, and waiting for things to make sense before taking action. If that's where you are, this will help you step back, think clearly, and move forward in a way that aligns with your faith and how God designed your body to function. When You Already Know What to Do Many times, the issue isn't a lack of information. It's not that you don't know what to do—it's that you're unsure what will happen if you do it. You might already feel a nudge to: Improve your sleep or nutrition Cut back on sugar or processed foods Address emotional or past wounds Step away from something that's draining your health Take a step that feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar The challenge isn't clarity. The challenge is trusting God with the outcome. As shared in the episode, “You already know what God is asking you to do. The question is, do you trust Him enough to do it without knowing how it's going to turn out?” Obedience Isn't Always Comfortable Obedience can feel small… or it can feel life-altering. Sometimes it's: Cooking a meal for someone when you don't feel like it Saying something kind when it's hard Changing a daily habit that's become comfortable Other times, it's: Making a major life or health decision Letting go of something familiar Taking a step that disrupts your routine Obedience often requires: Discomfort Sacrifice A willingness to step outside your normal patterns And yet, this is where growth happens—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Cost of Disobedience (and Why It Matters) In today's culture, we often focus on God's grace—and rightly so. But it's also important to remember: God calls us to obedience Our choices have consequences Avoiding what we know we should do keeps us stuck Whether it's your health, your habits, or your calling… Staying in the same cycle of: Overthinking Delaying Avoiding …can quietly impact your energy, your peace, and your overall well-being. A Biblical Example of Obedience: Naaman In 2 Kings 5, Naaman was instructed to wash in the Jordan River seven times to be healed. At first, he resisted. It didn't make sense It wasn't what he expected It felt inconvenient But when he finally obeyed, he was restored. This story is a powerful reminder: Obedience doesn't always align with what feels logical or comfortable—but it still matters. Trusting God Without Knowing the Outcome One of the hardest parts of obedience is this:

Welcome to the book of Judges! Fr. Mike foreshadows the events of Judges, and the cycle of disobedience we'll continue to see Israel go through. He also gives some context on the book of Ruth, and how we can find grace within the frustrating moments of Scripture. Today's readings are Judges 1-3, Ruth 1, and Psalm 133.

Syon Abbey was founded in 1415 and dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. The community refused to scatter. They waited, came back under Mary, went into exile again under Elizabeth, survived a Calvinist mob in Flanders, 200 years in Lisbon, a 9.0 earthquake, and Napoleon. They finally closed in 2011 -- not because anyone shut them down, but because there were three elderly nuns left and they couldn't maintain the building. This is their story, including the nun who grabbed the abbey seal to stop Henry's officers, the abbess who confronted a mob and died six weeks later, and a community that carried the keys to their original home for 366 years.

Fr. Mike explores the fall of the angels, and how their fall leads to our own “fall into death out of envy.” Together, we examine what caused some of the angels to fall, whether it be pride or envy, and how it affects humanity's reality within creation. Fr. Mike concludes with a commentary on the mystery of why Divine Providence permits evil and the actions of the fallen angels. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 391-395.
