My heart sank. My mind started to swirl. A friend who’d been helping set up my new laptop accidentally deleted all the photos and videos I’d transferred to it. Years of precious memories with family and friends were all gone in an instant. Panic set in. I’d never be able to recreate those cherished moments from past holidays, travels, and special occasions. Before sentimental me could have a complete meltdown, my friend said he was hopeful he could recover my files. Thankfully, a few agonizing hours later I was overjoyed to see my special files reappear. I waited anxiously for only a few hours, but the fear was real. Loss can be scary and painful. In chapter two of the book of Joel, the prophet is calling Judah to repentance after it has been devastated by a horde of locusts that destroyed the grain fields, vineyards, gardens, and trees. The prophet had warned the people of the impending consequences of their rebellion against God. But God hadn’t abandoned them. He would help and bring restoration if they placed their trust in God: “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten” (2:25). God restored Judah when they turned to Him. God wants to restore you as well. Whatever circumstances you’re in, you can turn to God and trust Him—knowing that He’s “the Lord your God, and that there is no other” (v. 27). He is faithful to help you recover from what was lost and bring you into a relationship with Him.

This episode I am reading from Lynne McGinnis's book 'Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths: One Woman's Journey to Spiritual Awakening'.Lynne McGinnis grew up feeling defective—bombarded by parental atheism, messages that there was "something wrong" with her, relentless bullying, and a deep-seated panic over death. She sought refuge in compulsive achievements, excelling as a top-ranked law student and later as an attorney. Yet, her prestigious career only masked her chronic anxiety, struggles with body image, and ingrained belief that she was worthless. In the early 1990's, at one particularly low point, spiritual nudges led Lynne to participate in a 12-Step recovery program and study the liberating doctrines of the New Thought movement.This path led her to confront the ultimate fear—death—by discovering the transformative truths of Near Death Experiences and reincarnation, compelling her to seek out the world's foremost authority, Dr. Michael Newton, Ph.D., for a Life Between Lives spiritual regression session.But Lynne learned the hard way that true spiritual awakening requires changing negative thought patterns and embracing not only unconditional love of others but also, unconditional love of oneself. Thus, she continued her relentless attempt to gain self-esteem by overachieving and seeking the approval of others. This ultimately drove her to a mental and emotional collapse - a true dark night of the soul. Only then was she ready to let go of the false messages she had been giving herself for so many years and embrace the Higher Truths.Follow Lynne into the spiritual realm during her life-changing Life Between Lives (LBL) sessions with Dr. Michael Newton (author of Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls) and one of his successors, Scott. Here, her Spirit Guide and Council unlock profound memories and universal insights:   Her Pre-Birth Planning: Confirmation of her soul purpose as a Teacher of Souls and her choice of a challenging family life to master the lesson of unconditional self-love.   Soul Connections: The identity of her own Soul Group.   The Universal View: A deep discourse on the "Watchers of the Planets," revealing why they intervened during the Cuban Missile Crisis and their current dilemma regarding the Earth's environmental crisis.   The Path Forward: The ultimate realization that her fear, rage, and competitive drive were merely distractions from her true lesson: unconditional self-love—a love already bestowed by her Creator.Overcoming Adversity by Embracing the Higher Truths is more than a memoir; it is a roadmap to self-acceptance and a powerful confirmation of the soul's enduring journey. Lynne shares how embracing the timeless truth—"We are Eternal Souls human experiences who our Creator loves unconditionally"—finally dissolved decades of fear, rage, and self-sabotage, leading her to hope, purpose, and Divine alignment.Read this book if you are ready to:   Heal from decades of negative self-talk and feeling "not good enough."   Understand the soul-level purpose behind your deepest struggles.   Find comfort in the existence of an unconditionally loving Higher Power.   Embrace your true, Eternal Self and step into your highest purpose.BioLynne. I was an attorney who was employed by a large organization for over 21 years. Due to self-imposed pressure and the pressure of meeting seemingly never-ending deadlines, over the years, I felt increasingly anxious and depressed.One day, I had a stress-related breakdown. To recover from the breakdown, I followed a three-step process where I focused on all aspects of myself: my body, my mind, and my soul. This process ultimately led to what I can only describe as a spiritual awakening. My life is now filled with joy and wonder.I now feel called to help those of you who are facing work stress challenges similar to my own. I'm not doing this as a paid consultant or to make money, but rather to share my knowledge.https://freeyourselffromburnout.com/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FYRN7CVS https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

“The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast.” Zephaniah 1:14 Zephaniah speaks at the precise moment when Judah's long experiment with compromise reaches its breaking point. This is not a story of transferred allegiance, but of accommodation. Judah still carries the Lord's name and maintains His Temple, but they have woven other gods into the fabric of daily life. This is YHWH-plus religion. It presents itself as a sophisticated, tolerant "synthesis," but it is far more dangerous than honest paganism. Judah's elites swore by the LORD and by Milcom in the same breath (Zeph. 1:5), treating God's Word as negotiable opinion rather than final authority. Zephaniah begins with a rare four-generation genealogy, tracing his line back to King Hezekiah. As a royal cousin to King Josiah, he is a "Corrective Branch" of the family tree. While the ruling line under Manasseh and Amon sought power through foreign alliances, Zephaniah's branch had been preserving the "Unbroken Chain." Even his father's name, Cushi ("The Ethiopian"), hints at the persistent "Cushite" thread in the Bible - from the Queen of Sheba's quest for wisdom to the faithful Ebed-Melech in Jeremiah. It is a reminder that while Judah's heart was narrowing, the Word was already reaching for the ends of the earth. The shadow behind this book is Manasseh. His fifty-five-year reign was not a mere slide into sin, but a violent overwriting of the Covenant. He did not just shut the Temple, as did Ahaz; he occupied it with idols, training a generation to live comfortably inside compromise and contradiction. Though his late repentance was real, he had already "filled Jerusalem with innocent blood," silencing the voices that refused to compromise. Zephaniah's own name - meaning “YHWH has hidden” - is a bridge across these dark years. He is the voice of the "hidden seed," the remnant God treasured during the long silence of the Manasseh era. The fact that the Book of the Law had to be "found" in the Temple is the ultimate indictment: the Word was functionally lost in a nation that only claimed to honor it. Zephaniah declares judgment as irreversible because compromise has hardened into identity. Judah's people convinced themselves that “the Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill” (Zeph. 1:12). They believed God had become a silent partner in His own universe, neither acting nor speaking decisively. Indifference had hardened into theology. Zephaniah announces "the day of the Lord" to shatter that illusion. Divine judgment is the public demonstration that history is not self-governing; God will intervene. Yet the call to "seek" remains open to the humble - those who let the Word judge them instead of editing the Word to match their preferences. Zephaniah's message speaks to our present as well as his own. Today's threat isn't atheism. It is Christian indifference in the face of compromise and the relocation of authority outside God's word. A community can retain sacred vocabulary and religious formalism while quietly shifting its trust to cultural approval and the word of man. When God's Word becomes negotiable, it is often not denied in theory, neutralized in practice. Renewal must begin where Josiah began: with the recovery of the Word as authoritative Truth. Zephaniah stands as a compact argument that divided allegiance is unsustainable, that compromise is apostasy, and that hope survives only where God's word is the believer's final Voice. For us, too, the Day of the LORD is imminent. Let us "set our house in order."

On today's pages, Menachot 35 and 36, we encounter a startling image: God showing Moses the knot of the tefillin. Rabbi David Bashevkin joins us to explore this anthropomorphic mystery, explaining that while we can never see God's face—the future unfolding—we can always see God's back by looking retrospectively at our lives and history. The knot at the back of the head symbolizes how we remain tethered to the Divine even when the path ahead is unclear. What does it mean to be wrapped in a divine embrace through history? Listen and find out.

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it’s fitting to reflect on the biblical perspective of leadership. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Every president, past and present, serves under God’s sovereign hand. Recognizing their achievements, especially those guided by faith, is a way to honor God’s provision for our nation. Intersecting Faith & Life How can we honor God by recognizing the positive impact of leaders He places in office? In what ways can you personally pray for national leaders and their decisions?

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” - Daniel 2:21 What does it take to be President of the United States of America? As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we probably have a wide variety of thoughts and answers to this question. Still, throughout history, many men of various backgrounds, political leanings, religious beliefs, and stature have served as the President of the United States. Although we hold elections in the United States, we don’t want to ignore what Daniel explains: that God has a hand in who comes into leadership in our nation and that we really are not the ones in control. As we commemorate yet another President’s Day, it’s biblical to set time aside to honor the many men who have held the office, regardless of our political leanings. Being the President of the United States of America takes bravery and fortitude, as it comes with serious caution and risks to both the sitting president’s life and career. In Prayers and Presidents, author and historian William J. Federer presents statistics on the danger that being President holds: “Not every United States President left the White House on his own accord, with some dying in office and others murdered while serving. Four Presidents left office due to assassination, with the most famous and well-known account being that of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, and the 35th President, John F. Kennedy. Along with them, lesser-recognized presidents were murdered while in office, including 20th President, James A. Garfield, and 25th President, William McKinley. As well, 40th President Ronald Reagan and soon-to-be re-elected Donald J. Trump survived assassination attempts on their lives. Reagan, while in office, and Trum,p while on the presidential campaign trail before taking office in his second nonconsecutive term as our 47th President at 78 years old.” Regardless of the risks, from the very beginning of our nation’s birth, prayer has been recognized and encouraged by many of our Presidents, including our very first President, George Washington, who carried a well-worn pocket-sized edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Providence Forum executive director Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes how General Washington, during the Revolutionary War, felt the odds of winning were too great against us, so on July 4th, 1775—a year before independence—he sent the following order to his troops: “He requires and expects of all officers and soldiers, not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance on Divine service, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense.’" Some doubt God’s hand in America’s history and on America’s leaders. But Proverbs 21:1 reveals that, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.” As well, Proverbs 8:15 reassures us that God has a hand in who reigns and rules on earth: “By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just.” God receives glory for directing ways presidents have honored Him, such as the 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, who initiated the National Day of Prayer as an annual observance in 1952, stating: “In times of national crisis when we are striving to strengthen the foundations of peace… we stand in special need of Divine support.” In April 1970, President Richard M. Nixon urged Americans to pray for the Apollo 13 astronauts who were in crisis. As well, after their safe return, he set aside Sunday, April 19, 1970, as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving. President Ronald Reagan established the National Day of Prayer on May 5, 1988, to be commemorated each year on the first Thursday in May, saying: “Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer… We have acknowledged… our dependence on Almighty God.”Following the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina, our 43rd President, George W. Bush, declared Days of Prayer. Intersecting Faith & Life: We are honoring God when we honor His accomplishments achieved through the leaders He places into office as our presidents. By recognizing their godly accomplishments, we are expressing gratitude and glorifying God for His just decrees.

Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics: Adar Why do we increase in joy during this month? What unique opportunity does this month offer us? Can you begin your program about Adar with a piece of humor? Is this entire month filled with joy? What is the difference between the good mazal of Shevat and that of Adar? Is this a month when Iran will be held accountable just as it was with Persia of old? How do we reconcile the fact that ancient Persia allowed us to rebuild the second Temple and Rome destroyed it, with the tables being turned today with Iran being our enemy and the Western empires being our allies? Should we be praying for the innocent people of Iran? Which events during the 1991 Persian Gulf War did the Rebbe cite as signs that the world is ready for Moshiach — and that all we need to do is open our eyes? What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week's Torah parsha? How do we create a sanctuary for G-d today?  What is the significance of the holy ark?Can we compare G-d to energy?  If physical existence is really Divine energy, what are we actually accomplishing when we perform mitzvos with material objects and make blessings on actual foods? What is the difference between chapters 11 and 12 at the end of the Rambam? What positive lesson do we learn about breaking down walls to spread Chassidus? What are we to make of the uprisings in Iran? Terumah Understanding G-d Siyum HaRambam What do we learn from the President announcing a "National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving" on May 17th, which is Rosh Chodesh Sivan?  Ramming into 770 – Follow-up 

The dead aren't finished with them yet.At the edge of the ruined chapel, steel finally meets bone. Ghouls charge from the darkness, skeletons scatter across the grounds, and the party is forced into a brutal, chaotic fight where every second matters. Stakes fly. Blades bite. Eldritch energy tears through rotting bodies as the rain slicks the battlefield beneath their feet.

Adam's search for a solution to being alone gives rise to a primary spiritual practice - dveikut, cleaving to the Divine.

In this powerful episode of Divine Visibility, Pastor Willie Diggs unpacks one of the most challenging yet transformative parts of the Christian journey: the hidden season—those moments when God is working behind the scenes, shaping us when no one is watching.Pastor Diggs brings deep biblical insight, transparency, and practical wisdom as he explains why hidden seasons are not punishments but divine preparations. Through relatable stories and Scripture, he explores how God uses obscurity to build character, strengthen endurance, and cultivate the spiritual maturity required for future purpose.Listeners will learn:How to discern when they are in a hidden seasonWhat God is developing internally when external results seem delayedThe dangers of rushing visibility before preparation is completeWhat to do in waiting periods-develp patienceWhy divine timing always protects, positions, and ultimately elevatesThis episode encourages anyone who feels overlooked, forgotten, or impatient with their journey. Pastor Diggs reminds us that God hides what He values, and when the time is right, He reveals what He has refined.

In this soul-centered episode, we explore the difference between perfection and Divine excellence. Inspired by moments of clarity — on a return flight from Milan, in business conversations about customer service, in resisting FOMO, in honoring boundaries for family — this episode invites you into a higher standard rooted in spiritual alignment rather than external pressure.God is Excellence.And when we pursue excellence, we pursue alignment with Divine Intelligence.This is about living outstanding — not for applause — but for alignment.Stay Connected with VivaLife SPF ME If this episode resonated with you, please like, share, and follow the VivaLife SPF ME Podcast on Spotify, Amazon, and Google Podcasts to help us spread the message of healing, empowerment, and intentional living.Subscribe to our YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@vivalifespfmeJoin our communityGet access to our mailing list, upcoming events, and transformational experiences:https://www.vivalifespfme.com/dr-kelly-o-md-linktreeBook Dr. Kelly O., MD for your next event or speaking engagement:https://drkellyomd.com/book-for-an-eventPurchase your VivaLife SPF ME Journalhttps://vivalifespfme.com/vivalife-spfme-product-details/product/67ef31d160ab281de2e01b05Shop “We Can't Be Erased” MerchandiseT-shirts & hats that speak truth and strength:https://vivalifespfme.com/vivalife-spfme-product-details/product/67da338b44eafa3985031064/#Affirmation #365DaysofAffirmation #VivaLifeSPFMEPodcast #VivaLifeSPFME #VivaLifeHealthHUB #DrKellyOMD

Today we honor the journey of Jeremy Johnson, host of the Slutty Grace podcast, as we explore our parallel journeys of religious deconstruction. Both of us were raised in evangelical fundamentalist Christianity, and we discuss how we moved from rigid theological certainty to a more expansive, grace-centered faith. Jeremy shares his path from youth pastor to questioning core doctrines like total depravity, hell, and exclusionary salvation, catalyzed by reading Brian McLaren and experiencing diverse Christian traditions. Jeremy chats about how his childhood religious teachings shaped his self-worth, his eventual separation of faith from institutional paychecks, and his discovery that God's love might be far more generous and inclusive than he was ever taught. The conversation touches on the nature of sin, human connectedness, and the freedom found in embracing mystery and curiosity rather than doctrinal certainty.Find Jeromy at Slutty Grace Podcast!

Even his father's name, Cushi ("The Ethiopian"), hints at the persistent "Cushite" thread in the Bible - from the Queen of Sheba's quest for wisdom to the faithful Ebed-Melech in Jeremiah. It is a reminder that while Judah's heart was narrowing, the Word was already reaching for the ends of the earth. The shadow behind this book is Manasseh. His fifty-five-year reign was not a mere slide into sin, but a violent overwriting of the Covenant. He did not just shut the Temple, as did Ahaz; he occupied it with idols, training a generation to live comfortably inside compromise and contradiction. Though his late repentance was real, he had already "filled Jerusalem with innocent blood," silencing the voices that refused to compromise. Zephaniah's own name - meaning “YHWH has hidden” - is a bridge across these dark years. He is the voice of the "hidden seed," the remnant God treasured during the long silence of the Manasseh era. The fact that the Book of the Law had to be "found" in the Temple is the ultimate indictment: the Word was functionally lost in a nation that only claimed to honor it. Zephaniah declares judgment as irreversible because compromise has hardened into identity. Judah's people convinced themselves that “the Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill” (Zeph. 1:12). They believed God had become a silent partner in His own universe, neither acting nor speaking decisively. Indifference had hardened into theology. Zephaniah announces "the day of the Lord" to shatter that illusion. Divine judgment is the public demonstration that history is not self-governing; God will intervene. Yet the call to "seek" remains open to the humble - those who let the Word judge them instead of editing the Word to match their preferences. Zephaniah's message speaks to our present as well as his own. Today's threat isn't atheism. It is Christian indifference in the face of compromise and the relocation of authority outside God's word. A community can retain sacred vocabulary and religious formalism while quietly shifting its trust to cultural approval and the word of man. When God's Word becomes negotiable, it is often not denied in theory, neutralized in practice. Renewal must begin where Josiah began: with the recovery of the Word as authoritative Truth. Zephaniah stands as a compact argument that divided allegiance is unsustainable, that compromise is apostasy, and that hope survives only where God's word is the believer's final Voice. For us, too, the Day of the LORD is imminent. Let us "set our house in order."

In this special bonus episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan and McKay Farner share the talks they delivered in sacrament meeting on the greatest commandment: to "love thy neighbor as thyself." Meghan explores the often-overlooked doctrine of self-love through the lens of agape—the unconditional love that God is. She unpacks false beliefs (“unbelief”) that keep us stuck in shame and natural-man identity, reframing repentance as healing rather than punishment. Drawing from Mosiah 3:19, Doctrine & Covenants 93, Moroni 7, and the teachings of President David O. McKay, she invites listeners to see themselves as the “pearl of great price”—already worthy of divine love.McKay then shares a powerful mission story that forever changed his understanding of loving your neighbor. Through personal experience—including stepping away from church activity—he reflects on charity without ulterior motive and what it truly means to love as Christ loves.Together, these talks offer a message of hope, grace, and spiritual maturity:You cannot hate yourself into holiness.You cannot give a gift you have not received.And love is not kindness with a destination attached.00:00 Introduction & purpose of the message00:33 The Great Commandment (Matthew 22)01:19 Agape: the unconditional love God is02:35 False beliefs (“unbelief”) about self-love04:24 Natural man vs. true eternal identity07:23 Repentance as healing, not punishment09:26 Shame, fear, and perfect love10:16 Rest, worthiness, and grace11:50 Meditation as communion with God12:42 The pearl of great price13:52 McKay's mission story begins15:47 What love is not17:13 “Love is not kindness with a destination attached”20:10 Charity defined (Moroni 7)22:27 Princess & sacrificial love23:40 “Greater love hath no man…”24:16 Stepping away from church activity24:48 “It's what Jesus would do.”25:02 Final testimony & invitation Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

Our sense of identity determines how we interact. In this teaching I break this down and talk about how shame is a program running in the background for most people that prevents them from living their best life. If we understand what is happening we can work with and change it. If you appreciate my work please consider a donation at, "paypal.me/newdayglobal". Thank you!
