You are the light of Christ to the world. Don't hide your light. 

It's hard to keep a Stoic down or hold them back. They push through. They see obstacles as opportunities. They are not deterred by difficulties or criticism or friction. Like the old motto of the Royal Air Force, the Stoics believed that perseverance and determination were key. Per ardua ad astra–it reads–Through adversity to the stars.This way of thinking makes someone a winner, it makes them a great leader. It can also make them dangerous. To themselves and others.The author SC Gwynne, recently discussed this on the Daily Stoic podcast (a must listen/watch episode) as well as in his fascinating new book His Majesty's Airship. He explained how when it came to experimental aircraft, the attitude of “press on regardless,” was courageous, it was also responsible for countless crashes…and countless deaths.-And with today's meditation on the day's Daily Journal excerpt, Ryan reminds us that processing our feelings and pushing forward, sitting with our pain and accepting the grief, and finding help if and when needed helps us conquer. ✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail

Don't Hide Your Scars | Pastor Jonathan Miller | 10/29/2023 by Bethesda Church

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards.  In today's episode, Dom welcomes famed actor and now children's book author Kirk Cameron back onto the podcast to hear about his newest book for Brave Books titled The Fox, The Fair, and the Invention Scare. In the new book, Cameron hopes to teach children to offer olive branches to their enemies, finding common ground and offering love to those who may disagree. Cameron tells us about the flack he's received after becoming a conservative author, explains the book, and tells where listeners can find both him and the book. Then, Dom speaks with Cherry Hill, NJ father Rick Short and his attorney Thomas Stavola after the filing of a federal lawsuit that questions New Jersey's requirement that teachers hide student gender pronouns from their parents.

Not choosing the way of the Zealots or the Essences; Benedict of Nursia; William Wilberforce: Zack talks about what Nehemiah 6 teaches us about enemies.

FreeWay was blessed to experience a tangible manifestation of God's presence as Pastor Jeff was preaching last Sunday. Therefore, he did not finish his message. God led Pastor Jeff to deliver the rest of the message this past Sunday. The story of Adam and Eve in the garden remained the primary reference to inappropriate behavior when we fall into sin. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve did not take time to reflect upon what they had done and the consequences. Rather they chose to make excuses, blame others and not immediately confess to God. The first step in learning is reflection. I did not make a mistake, I willfully disobeyed God. Even in this dysfunction, God can use our sin to cause us to be more like Him, IF we don't hide. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for the good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. Selah

Pastor Jeff blessed us with another profound word on this past Sunday. He used the story of Adam and Eve in the garden as a reference to inappropriate behavior when we fall into sin. Most of us, just like Adam and Eve, attempt to hide from God. Proverbs 28:13 reminds us, "Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy." We are admonished to reflect on how we have transgressed God and remember the provisions He has made to restore us to holiness and right standing with Him. The answer is always honest, transparent responses to God's questions for us. Besides, ALL of God's questions are rhetorical. He already knows our shortcomings, yet still loves us with an everlasting love.1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness ... SelahDON'T HIDE FROM GOD ...RIDE WITH GOD

Today is our sixth message and a message connected to 3 Sundays ago. We looked at Adam and Eve fall into sin. It is kind of stunning that a serpent is talking, but very purposeful, because temptation is always talking to us from wherever we perceive the voice to be coming from. We learned how important it is to trust God, His word, His goodness. In verses 8-24 today we are going to see the fall out of not trusting God and His word, of believing there is a goodness apart from Him. Let’s read 3:8-24.

What are "knee-jerk processes?" When do you step over the line from good policies into being over-processed and damaging your culture and business? Our guest in this episode answers these questions. Matt Hahne, a Certified EOS Implementer (www.EOSWorldwide.com/Matt-Hahne), is a former U.S. Navy Officer and a Merchant Mariner who created and owned three successful businesses. Matt teaches using numerous examples from businesses he's worked with who hid behind processes and clung to calcified ways of doing things that hurt their culture, violated their own closely-held values, and damaged their business. Here are three great resources we talked about in the interview: -Matt's newly released Launching Leaders workshop for supervisors (www.LaunchingLeaders.com) -Patrick Lencioni's The Table Group podcast episdoe called "Principle over Policy:" https://www.tablegroup.com/161-principle-over-policy/ -The famous Netflix culture deck: https://www.peterfisk.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/netflix-culture-deck.pdf Matt also shares how to turn things around if you've focused more on rules and processes and not enough on hiring and inspiring the right people in your organization by leading with "context and not control."

19.02.2023 Don't Hide In Your Own Bottle [Alin] by Maretul Har UK

Ivy Sole - "Don't Hide (feat. Kingsley Ibeneche)" a 2023 single on Ivy Sole LLC / Venice Music Candid, the latest album from Philly-based Pan-Africanist artist Ivy Sole, is presented as triptych, inspired by her parents' love story and how it shaped her own views on relationships.  As she told Metal Magazine, "How the story unfolds in this album is not identical to how it transpired in the lives of my parents, or even in my life, but this much is true – Candid helped me love myself and love my family in ways I could never have imagined and confirmed that our enemy is not each other but the world we live in. How could I not talk about that when the world has only gotten more deadly for all of us?" Today's Song of the Day finds Sole reuniting with previous collaborator Kingsley Ibeneche, a singer/songwriter/dancer in his own right. Watch them perform in the music video below, directed by Sole and filmed by Wren Rene.  Read the full story at KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode of To The Core, Gina talks about embracing fear, and the act of labeling ourselves! Giving ourselves a diminishing label can lead to bad habits and keep us from doing hard things, and getting out of our comfort zone! Gina reminds listeners: Labeling is a shield To embrace fear and discomfort Fear has a place in our lives (1:20) Gina revisits the topic of facing fear.    (4:00) Labeling ourselves as something can create an identity entirely based upon that label.   (6:20) Gina shares her “ninja” analogy.    (9:30) Labels diminish ourselves and create a shield to prevent us from doing hard things.    (11:30) Labels help us to avoid discomfort.    (13:00) Gina reminds listeners that our anxieties are typically the worst case scenario, and is not what usually occurs.    (15:00) There is a place for fear.   (15:25) Gina tells a story about a community of chimps, and how the anxious chimps were pivotal for society.    (20:00) Embrace discomfort.    (24:55) Gina talks about her upcoming trip to Costa Rica.

It would be wonderful if the Stoics promised you some sort of breakthrough. One that solved for the messy divorce or the unfortunate bankruptcy. One that helped you rehab from the car accident or magically deal with a pandemic that drags on for years (as Marcus knew well). One that soothes you as you sit up sleep-deprived with an infant. The Stoics do, actually, offer solutions for these kinds of struggles. They just don't come as the kind of breakthrough or insight that you're necessarily looking for.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail

Today's Scripture: PROVERBS 28:13-14 VS 13 - Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Can We Get to “Yes” on Better UX?What does WordPress need to do to appeal more to do-it-yourself website builders and creators who are trying to take a business, hobby, or side project online? This week in an article he shared in Post Status Slack, Eric Karkovack suggested some ways to improve the WordPress user experience, especially for DIY users setting up a website for the first time.We also have lists of plugins we disrecommend — to the point that it's a dealbreaker if a client insists on using them. And of course, these lists change a lot over time. We all know these things — but it's a kind of “open secret” within professional WordPress circles. That's understandable! Comparison is the thief of joy — and possibly revenue.Some of the things Eric wants to see happen, like a standard interface for plugins and a curated view of the plugin ecosystem, are similar to views commonly expressed by designers, developers, and people in other professional roles at WordPress agencies serving enterprise clients. And why not? In the WordPress enterprise space, are the end users really that much different than mass-market WordPress users in what they don't need to know or see — and what they do need to perform routine content creation and management tasks as easily as possible? That's where my thinking has been lately, so I had a conversation with Eric to see if we might identify areas where nearly everyone thinks WordPress offers a poor experience and how they might align themselves toward solutions. Can we get everyone to “yes” on a better UX?Don't Play Favorites — Recognize ExcellenceStandardizing admin interfaces and notifications might be easier than figuring out how to curate best-of-breed themes and plugins. But imagine, as Eric and I do in this conversation, some kind of “plugin quality score” at wordpress.org based on neutral, objective data. It might be “gamed” — in a positive way. It would encourage developers to do better, deeper, ever-maturing work.Personally, I'd like to see the maximum and the average number of queries a plugin adds to a page. That, along with PHP and WordPress versions that have been tested for compatibility (existing features of the plugin repository) would be key code quality indicators. Frequency of updates, reviews, and support responses would indicate a capacity for long-term sustainability. Raising standards for testing aimed mainly at security would be great too. All of this could be done or encouraged by key players in the WordPress ecosystem coming together to set standards for their industry. It would impact how all users of the plugin directory understand quality.Don't Hide it from the Noobs: Too Many Open Secrets About Quality are Bad for EveryoneAs of today, there are 60,153 un-curated free plugins at wordpress.org that can only be explored via external search and a limited (arguably broken) site search tool. WordPress professionals with high-end client services would never expose their customers to this chaos — so why does the WordPress community expose its newcomers to it? Anyone who has developed WordPress sites for very long has a list of plugins they prefer, particularly in combination with each other, for common feature sets and use cases. We also have lists of plugins we dis-recommend — to the point that it's a deal breaker if a client insists on using them. And of course, these lists change a lot over time. We all know these things — but it's a kind of “open secret” from professional WordPress circles. That's understandable! Comparison is the thief of joy — and possibly revenue. But we need to be more open and better at communicating these things in a problem-solving, always-learning way within appropriate channels. Open source security is a different issue, but performance and code quality standards — and the products/people who follow them in exemplary ways — should be much more visible and celebrated.(What if someone did a tutorial series walking through current WordPress code standards and the history of their evolution?)Information that maturing developers and product owners can learn from to improve their work doesn't trickle down as openly or as easily as it should. It's inside baseball, and it shouldn't be quite so insider-y. It's not out there alongside independent plugin performance reviews or clear standards and guidance for anyone who wants them.Why not?What are the barriers?Who can lift them?Industry peers and WordPress community members working together on common interests?As we end up saying in our conversation, we hope so.✨ Sponsor: GoDaddy ProManage your clients, websites, and tasks from a single dashboard with GoDaddy Pro.

Welcome to pod party #14! This is a very special pod party because we're going to do hot seats. I'll be answering some questions about building a business from the inside out, and important questions that might transform your life. This is an invitation-only episode. The invitation extended solely to individuals whose work I have personally observed and been exposed to. Some of them are participants in my program, and the rest have bought some of the programs that I offer. And I requested them to participate in this specific call today. We'll be having an interesting conversation about making a spiritual identity out of business, owning your life, and the consequences of your choices no matter the outcome. The pressure of knowing you have to meet the requirements of every customer could be beneficial to the success of your business or product, but it could also make you feel miserable. One of the goals that you should work toward in your business is to find a course of action that allows you to maintain your confidence in both yourself and the worth of the things you sell. How are you supposed to find your way if the route ahead of you is not entirely clear? How do you run when you don't know where you're going? How do you own your heart and soul when you run a business? Tune in to this episode to get your answers, learn insightful lessons, and hear relatable stories that might help you in your journey in life and in your business.
