She had always kept the dolls perfectly aligned along the shelf across from her bed. Every chin lifted the same way, every glass eye reflecting the room in identical points of light. Order mattered.One night, home alone, she climbed the stairs and saw someone standing quietly in her bedroom near the window. She assumed it was her sister and called out for her to leave.But the house was empty.Moments later, the figure was gone. When she looked across the room again, the dolls she had carefully arranged earlier that day were no longer facing forward.Every porcelain face had turned toward the doorway. Toward the space she had just walked through.#RealGhostStories #HauntedDolls #ParanormalEncounter #ShadowFigure #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouseStories #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedEvents #GhostStory #NightEncounter #CreepyEncounters #HauntedObjects #ParanormalLove real ghost stories?

Matt and Steve dig into one of recovery's most repeated phrases and ask the question nobody wants to answer: are you using it as a doorway into the program, or a loophole out of it?From the opinions of the old-timer who never shuts up to skipping Step 4 because it makes you uncomfortable — there's a real difference between leaving what doesn't belong to the program and leaving what just challenges your ego. The guys also get into why sitting with discomfort is where the real work lives, and why being average might be exactly enough.Honest, a little uncomfortable, and not preachy. Just two sober friends talking about the stuff that actually matters.Support the show
Every believer is called to do the works of Jesus (John 14:12), and at least one-third of Jesus' works involved the release of the nine supernatural gifts. If we are going to do His works, then we must accept the responsibility to release them through our lives as well! As you apply these truths taken from Pastor Greg's television broadcast, Wisdom for Living, you too, will be equipped to live a supernatural life and do the works of Jesus by releasing the gifts of the Spirit through your life!
Ecclesiastes 9:9; 12:1–8 | Pastor Howard
Preacher: Adam Bodlack
When she was little, her grandmother told her she had ESP.She didn't think much of it. Years later—after two battles with cancer and more than one brush with death—she began to wonder if some people simply stand closer to the veil than others.A radio that turned on by itself. A sinister laugh in an empty house. Footsteps when no one was home. A dark mass at the foot of her bed that moved when she commanded it to leave. A brother who never entered the room she saw him in. And finally, a house where something seemed to prefer standing in doorways… watching.She doesn't consider herself overly sensitive. She doesn't jump to conclusions. But after enough moments that refuse to explain themselves, denial starts to feel less logical than possibility.#ESPExperiences #ShadowFigure #ParanormalEncounters #DoorwayApparition #NearDeathConnection #HauntedHome #UnexplainedActivity #SpiritualSensitivity #GhostStories #RealGhostStories Love real ghost stories?

What if Jesus isn't calling you to try harder, but to be made new? In this message from John 3, we explore what it means to be “born from above,” how grace goes first, and why following Christ is less about safety and more about a journey of transformation.Send a text

They arrive quietly—in the shape of a woman standing in a doorway, footsteps with no one to make them, or a figure from another century passing by as if nothing is wrong. These are the kinds of moments that linger long after the lights are back on, when you're left wondering whether what you saw was impossible… or simply unnoticed until now.In this episode, multiple firsthand accounts blur the line between history and the present, sleep and waking, the living and the dead.

Are you tired of treating your faith like a "grind" in an RPG? We often approach spiritual disciplines like we are trying to level up a skill tree: if we just read enough, pray enough, or "do" enough, then we will finally be "good Christians." But what if the point of your faith isn't the destination, but the doorway?In the kickoff of our new series, The Crucible, Pastor Druzi explores the shift from performing spiritual disciplines to experiencing spiritual formation. This is part of our Year of the Forge journey: moving from the "what" of our faith to the "how" of being changed by God's presence.In this video:
Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Melissa Muir, acclaimed jewelry artist and teacher. She highlights how embracing life's unexpected pivot points opens new paths for creativity, personal growth, and transformation. In today's episode, we discuss: Honor your pivot points. Notice the moments whernt feels like a dead end. What would be different if you chose to see it as a time to redesign? Use every closed door or "mistake" as information for your next step. Allow creativity to be learned. Release the belief that you're "not creative" and give yourself permission to practice, experiment, and grow your skills one imperfect attempt at a time. Come home to your own truth. Gently question inherited beliefs, rules, and expectations so you can build a true relationship with yourself, the divine, and others that feels loving, spacious, and genuinely your. Choose communities that help you flourish. Intentionally seek out people who are curious, creative, and kind, knowing that "creativity breeds creativity" and you don't have to do it alone. Talk gently to your younger self. Revisit the bullied, lonely, or hurting version of you and let them know what's coming, so you can release old pain and stand more fully in who you are now.

*** This episode contains distressing content, including references to suicide, drug use, and sexual and violent material *** Mick Fleming turned to drugs to numb the trauma of a childhood shaped by violence and fear. What followed was a life of escalating crime - one that pulled him further from himself and those around him. Then, in the midst of committing a serious offence, Mick experienced an overwhelming light that stopped him in his tracks. That moment marked the beginning of a profound turning point. What followed was not an instant transformation, but a long and difficult journey that eventually led him to the priesthood and later to becoming a bishop. Reporter Shiroma Silva travels to Burnley in the north of England to meet a man who draws inspiration from his own lowest point, when the kindness that sustained him did not come from within the church, but from a homeless man sleeping in a shop doorway.
As you enter this new year, reflect upon how clinging to past experiences and resisting reality leads to suffering and prevents you from knowing the true meaning of life. Spiritual growth is about learning to let go of inner disturbances through conscious awareness and relaxation, rather than trying to make the outer world match our inner programming. By releasing your inner blockages, you expand into a being of unconditional love and clarity who uplifts the world around you through genuine presence and service. © Sounds True Inc.

What if the quality of your life is directly connected to the level of honor you walk in? In this powerful episode, we unpack how honor isn’t just good manners—it’s a spiritual principle that unlocks God’s rewards. Drawing from Ephesians 6, Hebrews 11, and the words of Jesus Himself, we why God attaches blessings to honoring parents, leaders, and His order.If you want to step into a fuller measure of God’s blessing, learn how your words shape your world, and position yourself for a full reward, this episode will challenge, inspire, and realign your heart toward a life of honor.(00:00) Honor as the Gateway to the Miraculous(05:16) Defining Honor vs Respect(10:57) God as Rewarder(15:45) Dishonour Blocks Access(29:04) Three Reward Levels(39:05) Rewards by Levels of Honor(43:16) Syrophoenician Woman—Honor Unlocks Deliverance(52:33) Practical Ways to Honor Leaders(1:07:06) Covering vs Exposinghttps://citylightnyc.com/
The Maze of Life: Seeking Success and Finding Spirituality The Maze of Life is a transformative exploration of ambition, identity, power, and purpose—guiding the reader through the complex intersection of external success and inner awakening. Structured as a journey through both the visible and invisible forces that shape a human life, the book challenges conventional definitions of achievement and reveals the hidden costs, disciplines, and spiritual laws behind true greatness. The opening chapters—The Price of Becoming, The Fuel of Impossible Lives, and Designing a Life Worth Living—confront the reader with a central truth: becoming more requires sacrifice. Success is not accidental; it is forged through intention, discomfort, and conscious design. The Only Way Forward and Rewrite Your Script, Rebuild Yourself position personal responsibility as the gateway to change, urging the reader to abandon inherited narratives and step into authorship of their own life. As the journey deepens, chapters such as The Moment Your Life Changes Direction, The War Within, and The Art and Science of Focus expose the internal battles that define destiny. Here, the book reveals that focus, discipline, and self-mastery are not merely productivity tools, but spiritual practices that align action with purpose. Moving into the external world, The Game of Business, The Science of Human Desire, and Mastering the Rules That Most People Never Learn decode the hidden systems governing money, influence, and motivation. Rather than glorifying hustle, these chapters illuminate how understanding human behavior and leverage determines long-term outcomes. At its core, the book is a study of energy and drive. The Anatomy of True Motivation, The Fuel of the Unstoppable, and The Doorway to Your Next Level redefine motivation as identity-driven rather than emotion-based. Progress accelerates when action flows from alignment instead of force. The latter chapters shift toward power, time, and consciousness. The Real Architect of Your Future, The Real Currency of Power, The Only Currency You Can Never Re-Earn, and The Prison You Never See challenge readers to confront how unconscious patterns, time mismanagement, and unexamined beliefs quietly limit potential. The Network That Builds or Breaks Your Life underscores the spiritual and practical importance of environment and relationships. The final act of the book—The Price of the Crown, The Price of Greatness, The Art of Radical Gratitude, The Most Dangerous Power on Earth, and The Awakened Self—brings the journey full circle. Success without awareness is hollow; power without humility is destructive. True fulfillment emerges when ambition is integrated with gratitude, service, and self-awareness. The Maze of Life is not a motivational book in the traditional sense—it is a manual for conscious evolution. It is written for those who refuse to choose between success and spirituality, and instead seek to master both, emerging not just accomplished, but awake.
They weren't looking for a ghost story.It was an ordinary afternoon in a high school classroom—students waiting, half-distracted, killing time before rehearsal. No one was paying close attention. And that's why what happened next felt so wrong.A girl appeared in the doorway. She didn't acknowledge anyone. She didn't speak. She didn't even seem aware she was being seen. As she passed, the room changed—quietly, instantly. The kind of shift you feel in your body before your mind catches up.Someone said it out loud before anyone compared notes: “Did anyone else feel that?”No explanations were offered. No reports were filed. And no one officially talked about what had just happened.#RealGhostStories #TrueParanormal #SchoolHaunting #GhostGirl #SharedExperience #UnexplainedEncounter #HauntedHallway #CreepySchoolStory #ParanormalPodcast #Apparition #ResidualHaunting #WitnessedTogether #ChillsAndColdSpots #SomethingWasThere #CantExplainItAwayLove real ghost stories?

Have you ever felt a quiet emptiness inside — like something essential is missing — even though your life looks full on the outside?In this Soul Session, I coach Carla Goldberg through a deeply personal exploration of what I call “the hole in the heart.” That tender, unfinished space so many of us try to fill with work, overgiving, productivity, distraction, or numbing — only to feel more exhausted and disconnected over time.Together, we uncover where that sense of emptiness comes from, why it isn't a flaw or a failure, and how it's actually an invitation back to healing, self-love, and the life you came here to live. Through Soul Blueprint guidance, Carla connects with her Soul Client Avatar and receives powerful insight into the emotional and energetic patterns keeping her stuck — and what's ready to shift.This episode is for spiritual women, especially those in a season of transition, who know there's more for them and are ready to stop filling the void with the wrong things and start listening to what their soul has been asking for all along.You'll discover:Why feeling empty doesn't mean something is wrong with youHow we unconsciously try to fill emotional and energetic voids with the wrong thingsWhat it really takes to feel whole, aligned, and at peace againTimestamps:00:21 Introduction01:19 Why filling the void with work, giving, or distraction never lasts02:07 Emptiness as an invitation, not a failure12:04 Meeting the Soul Client Avatar and naming the real pain15:33 What the emptiness looks like in everyday life16:48 The deeper desire to feel whole and step into your true story21:25 Energetic healing and release27:11 Clarity around purpose, direction, and soul-aligned work49:15 InvitationSTAY CONNECTED: Soul Guide Circle: JOIN the Soul Guide Circle closed Facebook Group Facebook: FOLLOW on Facebook Instagram: FOLLOW on Instagram YouTube: Follow in YouTube Ready to grow a prosperous soul-guided business?

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
Ten men combine to form a Minyan only if they are together in the same room. The Rishonim debate the question of whether a person can count toward a Minyan if he is standing in the doorway. If nine men are inside the room, and the tenth is in the doorway, do they form a Minyan, or must the tenth man come out of the doorway inside the room? The Bet Yosef brings the view of Rashi, that the area underneath the lintel is considered part of the room, such that a person standing there counts toward the Minyan formed inside the room. By contrast, Rabbenu Yeruham (1290-1350) maintained that the area of the doorway is considered outside the room. The Bet Yosef shows that the Rambam follows Rabbenu Yeruham's view, noting the Rambam's ruling that if someone brought the meat of the Pesach sacrifice to the doorway of the home on the night of Pesach, he transgresses the Torah prohibition against bringing the meat of the sacrifice outside the home. The Rambam clearly considered the area of the doorway outside the home, and this would, presumably, apply also to the formation of a Minyan. The Shulhan Aruch accepts this view, and writes that the area of the doorway is not considered part of the room, and thus a person who stands there cannot be counted toward the Minyan. By contrast, the Magen Abraham (Rav Avraham Gombiner, Poland, 1635-1682) cites the work Tanya Rabbati as ruling leniently, that a person in the doorway may, in fact, be counted. This is the view also of the Mishna Berura, citing the Eben Ha'ozer. In light of these different opinions, several Poskim, including the Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939), maintained that we must be stringent in both directions. This means that a person standing in the doorway of a room cannot combine with nine men in the room to form a Minyan, and also cannot combine with nine men assembled outside in the hallway, as it is uncertain whether he is considered inside the room or in the hallway. Rav Meir Mazuz (1945-2025), in Ish Masliah, writes that although it is proper to be stringent in both directions, the Halacha follows the Shulhan Aruch's ruling, and so, strictly speaking, a person standing in the doorway may combine with nine men in the hallway to form a Minyan. Within the Shulhan Aruch's view, there is a difference of opinion regarding the status of a person standing in the area of the doorway closer to the room, such that he would be inside if the door closed. The Mishna Berura writes that according to some understandings of the Shulhan Aruch, even a person standing in this spot is considered outside, and cannot be counted toward a Minyan. This was the position also of the Kaf Ha'haim. Rav Mazuz, however, disagreed, and maintained that the person may be counted in such a case. The Mishna Berura, too, concluded that one may be lenient in this situation, even according to the Shulhan Aruch, given that many Poskim do not accept Rabbenu Yeruham's stringent view to begin with. Rav David Yosef, in Halacha Berura, likewise rules leniently, and this is the Halacha. The Poskim debate the status of a doorway that has no door. Some argue that the only reason why the doorway would not be considered part of the room is that part of the doorway is left outside when the door is closed; therefore, if there is no door, the area of the doorway is viewed as part of the room. Others contend that to the contrary, the possibility of viewing the doorway as part of the room is based on the fact that part of the doorway is inside when the door closes. In practice, then, if there is no door, we must be stringent, and a person standing in the doorway cannot combine with people inside the room or outside the room, regardless of where in the doorway he stands. Summary: If a person is standing in the doorway of a room, then he cannot combine with nine men inside the room to form a Minyan. Strictly speaking, he can join with nine men in the hallway outside the room to form a Minyan, though he should preferably move outside the doorway into the hallway. If he stands in the inner portion of the doorway, such that he would be inside the room if the door would close, then he can combine with nine men standing inside the room, unless there is no door, in which case he cannot combine with either those inside the room or those outside in the hall.
Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
Ten men combine to form a Minyan only if they are together in the same room. The Rishonim debate the question of whether a person can count toward a Minyan if he is standing in the doorway. If nine men are inside the room, and the tenth is in the doorway, do they form a Minyan, or must the tenth man come out of the doorway inside the room? The Bet Yosef brings the view of Rashi, that the area underneath the lintel is considered part of the room, such that a person standing there counts toward the Minyan formed inside the room. By contrast, Rabbenu Yeruham (1290-1350) maintained that the area of the doorway is considered outside the room. The Bet Yosef shows that the Rambam follows Rabbenu Yeruham's view, noting the Rambam's ruling that if someone brought the meat of the Pesach sacrifice to the doorway of the home on the night of Pesach, he transgresses the Torah prohibition against bringing the meat of the sacrifice outside the home. The Rambam clearly considered the area of the doorway outside the home, and this would, presumably, apply also to the formation of a Minyan. The Shulhan Aruch accepts this view, and writes that the area of the doorway is not considered part of the room, and thus a person who stands there cannot be counted toward the Minyan. By contrast, the Magen Abraham (Rav Avraham Gombiner, Poland, 1635-1682) cites the work Tanya Rabbati as ruling leniently, that a person in the doorway may, in fact, be counted. This is the view also of the Mishna Berura, citing the Eben Ha'ozer. In light of these different opinions, several Poskim, including the Kaf Ha'haim (Rav Yaakob Haim Sofer, Baghdad-Jerusalem, 1870-1939), maintained that we must be stringent in both directions. This means that a person standing in the doorway of a room cannot combine with nine men in the room to form a Minyan, and also cannot combine with nine men assembled outside in the hallway, as it is uncertain whether he is considered inside the room or in the hallway. Rav Meir Mazuz (1945-2025), in Ish Masliah, writes that although it is proper to be stringent in both directions, the Halacha follows the Shulhan Aruch's ruling, and so, strictly speaking, a person standing in the doorway may combine with nine men in the hallway to form a Minyan. Within the Shulhan Aruch's view, there is a difference of opinion regarding the status of a person standing in the area of the doorway closer to the room, such that he would be inside if the door closed. The Mishna Berura writes that according to some understandings of the Shulhan Aruch, even a person standing in this spot is considered outside, and cannot be counted toward a Minyan. This was the position also of the Kaf Ha'haim. Rav Mazuz, however, disagreed, and maintained that the person may be counted in such a case. The Mishna Berura, too, concluded that one may be lenient in this situation, even according to the Shulhan Aruch, given that many Poskim do not accept Rabbenu Yeruham's stringent view to begin with. Rav David Yosef, in Halacha Berura, likewise rules leniently, and this is the Halacha. The Poskim debate the status of a doorway that has no door. Some argue that the only reason why the doorway would not be considered part of the room is that part of the doorway is left outside when the door is closed; therefore, if there is no door, the area of the doorway is viewed as part of the room. Others contend that to the contrary, the possibility of viewing the doorway as part of the room is based on the fact that part of the doorway is inside when the door closes. In practice, then, if there is no door, we must be stringent, and a person standing in the doorway cannot combine with people inside the room or outside the room, regardless of where in the doorway he stands. Summary: If a person is standing in the doorway of a room, then he cannot combine with nine men inside the room to form a Minyan. Strictly speaking, he can join with nine men in the hallway outside the room to form a Minyan, though he should preferably move outside the doorway into the hallway. If he stands in the inner portion of the doorway, such that he would be inside the room if the door would close, then he can combine with nine men standing inside the room, unless there is no door, in which case he cannot combine with either those inside the room or those outside in the hall.

The Maze of Life: Seeking Success and Finding Spirituality The Maze of Life is a transformative exploration of ambition, identity, power, and purpose—guiding the reader through the complex intersection of external success and inner awakening. Structured as a journey through both the visible and invisible forces that shape a human life, the book challenges conventional definitions of achievement and reveals the hidden costs, disciplines, and spiritual laws behind true greatness. The opening chapters—The Price of Becoming, The Fuel of Impossible Lives, and Designing a Life Worth Living—confront the reader with a central truth: becoming more requires sacrifice. Success is not accidental; it is forged through intention, discomfort, and conscious design. The Only Way Forward and Rewrite Your Script, Rebuild Yourself position personal responsibility as the gateway to change, urging the reader to abandon inherited narratives and step into authorship of their own life. As the journey deepens, chapters such as The Moment Your Life Changes Direction, The War Within, and The Art and Science of Focus expose the internal battles that define destiny. Here, the book reveals that focus, discipline, and self-mastery are not merely productivity tools, but spiritual practices that align action with purpose. Moving into the external world, The Game of Business, The Science of Human Desire, and Mastering the Rules That Most People Never Learn decode the hidden systems governing money, influence, and motivation. Rather than glorifying hustle, these chapters illuminate how understanding human behavior and leverage determines long-term outcomes. At its core, the book is a study of energy and drive. The Anatomy of True Motivation, The Fuel of the Unstoppable, and The Doorway to Your Next Level redefine motivation as identity-driven rather than emotion-based. Progress accelerates when action flows from alignment instead of force. The latter chapters shift toward power, time, and consciousness. The Real Architect of Your Future, The Real Currency of Power, The Only Currency You Can Never Re-Earn, and The Prison You Never See challenge readers to confront how unconscious patterns, time mismanagement, and unexamined beliefs quietly limit potential. The Network That Builds or Breaks Your Life underscores the spiritual and practical importance of environment and relationships. The final act of the book—The Price of the Crown, The Price of Greatness, The Art of Radical Gratitude, The Most Dangerous Power on Earth, and The Awakened Self—brings the journey full circle. Success without awareness is hollow; power without humility is destructive. True fulfillment emerges when ambition is integrated with gratitude, service, and self-awareness. The Maze of Life is not a motivational book in the traditional sense—it is a manual for conscious evolution. It is written for those who refuse to choose between success and spirituality, and instead seek to master both, emerging not just accomplished, but awake.

What if you didn't have to think your way into songwriting — but could play your way in? In this episode, I explore how vocal play can become a gentle doorway into songwriting, whether your songs begin with words, melody, or something in between. Instead of focusing on performance or “getting it right,” we look at how letting the voice explore can lower pressure, reconnect you to emotion, and help songs begin to take shape naturally. You'll learn: why singing doesn't have to mean performing how vocal play supports the songwriting process a simple practice for turning journal lines into song ideas how singing, songwriting, and creativity are deeply connected This episode is for singer-songwriters who feel stuck, overthink their songs, or want a more embodied, intuitive way to write music. If you're longing to reconnect with your voice — and let songwriting feel more alive and possible again — this episode is for you.
The Doorway, Not Doom Why This Surreal Moment Is Actually SacredBeloved, If the world feels loud, shaky, even a little surreal right now, you're not alone. I've been feeling it too—this almost magnetic pull into a quieter, inner sanctuary where the only voices are Presence, Hope, and that long, relieved exhale we all need.Here's why the pull is so strong: we're closing out a roughly four-hundred-year cycle—part of an even larger cosmic rhythm—that officially completes in 2027. That end date isn't about doom; it's about doorway. We're transitioning into an era that prizes personal and collective freedom, and the bridge that carries us there is contemplation. Our rich future evolves from individual and collective contemplation.Contemplation is the central path, represented by the Tao. It utilises elements of both Concentration (effort) and Meditation (no effort) to bring about a heightening of your frequency. Contemplation takes place on all three of the lower human planes; there is the: - physical contemplation, - emotional contemplation and - mental contemplation. And….over time, contemplation transforms the physical, astral and mental bodies into their higher frequency counterparts — the oversoul.With practice, contemplation balances action and inaction. Over time, you act with ease and clarity, without anxiety or hesitation — letting life move through you.Three Stages of ContemplationContemplation means entering your inner “temple” — pausing long enough to sense deeper connection and clarity in the small gaps of daily life.1. Pausing (Mind)Slow down and notice the natural breaks in your day. These brief pauses bring self-awareness, calm, and clarity. Walking, transitioning between tasks, or simply breathing can all become pauses when done consciously.2. Pivoting (Emotions)Once stillness appears, use it to shift direction. Pivoting is the moment you choose a higher response instead of a habitual pattern — transforming shadows or negativity into insight. Not every pause becomes a pivot, but more pauses create more opportunities.3. Merging (Body/Life)Flowing from pivoting, merging is applying that transformation outward.You move toward life with openness, trust, and wholeheartedness. It is the mature expression of contemplation — meeting whatever arises with presence.The greatest transfer of wealth and revitalized health is shifting into the next phase of evolution in which all systems in our universe make a quantum leap into a higher dimensions.Our awareness shifts from being self-centered to the collective. Some practical tips? Focus on the new energy—intimacy, freedom, and responsibility. As the old world changes, trust yourself, go inward, and see ambiguity as opportunity. Embrace new energies: intimacy, freedom, and responsibility.Aligning with the future makes this transition easier. I'm grateful we're navigating this together. As old doors close and new visions emerge, continue practicing self-agency, deepen your sense of responsibility, and remain observant.To support you during uncertain times, join an Oracle Experience with Personalized Answers - on your time.

True spirituality is about aligning with reality—what is actually happening—rather than resisting or clinging to what the mind likes or dislikes. By storing emotionally charged impressions of past experiences (samskaras), we create inner resistance, which becomes the root of suffering and distraction from our divine nature. The path to liberation lies in relaxing instead of resisting, allowing all of life to pass through without suppression, thereby purifying the inner being and becoming a force for peace in the world. © Sounds True Inc.

Pastor Greg taught that making room for the anointing opens the presence of God and creates a doorway to a greater season, bringing spiritual understanding, healing, deliverance, and restoration. Using biblical examples (the widow and Shunammite in 2 Kings and Lazarus in John 11, plus Paul and Silas in Acts), he emphasized that God prepares and times breakthroughs—one faithful step or 'one doorknob twist' can lead to favor, healing, and new opportunities. The congregation was encouraged to not lose hope, to trust God's timing, to walk through doors He opens, and to praise God in every season.
How Do We Shape Future Generations Well? Nancy French returns to The Good Faith Podcast with host Curtis Chang for a heartfelt, funny, and surprisingly practical conversation about how grandparenting reshapes your view of hope, kids and screens, grief, and what's worth doing with the time you have—even is that just means "robbing a bank with a Barbie." This conversation isn't just for grandparents: it's for anyone mentoring, parenting, teaching, or influencing the next generation, with practical wisdom on choosing connection, naming loss honestly, and creating space for kids to grow "analog" and resilient. Nancy also explains why legacy and being remembered aren't the point—what matters is faithfully loving the people in front of you and passing on stability, courage, and hope that outlasts you. 02:05 - Why Did Nancy Choose a Year as Primary Caregiver To Her Grandpkids? 07:44 - No screens and the value of analog, imaginative play. 13:15 - Preserving Children's Natural Hope 14:26 - Navigating Difficult Topics with Children 17:14 - The Value of Letting Children Experience Loss 23:09 - Creativity and Storytelling with Grandchildren 25:51 - Introducing Real-World Conflicts in Play 29:19 - Grandparents as Links to Family Legacy 34:53 - George Eliot: The Value of Unremembered Acts 36:18 - Living with Cancer and Embracing the Present 42:30 - Grandparenting from a Distance 45:27 - Encouragement to Focus on fun, connection, and Presence Rather Than Legacy Episode Companion: A Guide for Grandparents & All Those Influencing The Next Generation Mentioned In This Episode: Demographic research: Grandchildren's spatial proximity to grandparents and intergenerational support in the United States Jennifer F.

Not every haunting begins with blood-soaked walls, whispered curses, or tragic deaths. Some of the most unsettling hauntings begin in the places we least expect—the ones that should be safe, new, untouched by history. For one family, their brand-new townhome should have been just that: a fresh start, a clean slate. Instead, from the very first night, the walls seemed to watch. It began with a child's instinctive fear. That sense of being observed, even in the comfort of home. Soon it escalated into footsteps echoing through empty hallways, shadows swaying in bedroom doorways, and moments no one could explain. The father's most chilling experience came in the dead of night, when he opened his eyes to find a face hovering above him—distorted, wrong, like clay pulled into the vague shape of a human being but never finished. This was not a house steeped in legends or tied to tragic history. It was a house that should have been ordinary, untouched, unremarkable. But sometimes, hauntings don't need a reason. Sometimes, the walls themselves become a vessel, clinging to something unseen and inviting it to stay. Was it a remnant from the nursing home just down the street? A restless spirit in search of a place to dwell? Or proof that some entities don't need history to anchor themselves—they only need walls to hold them? #RealGhostStoriesOnline #FacelessFigure #HauntedTownhome #HoveringFace #ParanormalActivity #DarkPresence #CreepyEncounters #GhostlyNeighbors #UnexplainedHaunting #FreshPaintFear Love real ghost stories?

Joe is looking for guest for an upcoming series. *** For decades, the Ouija board has been one of the most controversial objects in the paranormal world. Sold as a simple parlor game in toy stores, yet whispered about in haunted houses and horror stories, the Ouija board sits at the crossroads between curiosity and fear. In this episode of *222 Paranormal Podcast*, we dive deep into the history, myths, and real-world experiences surrounding this infamous spirit communication tool. Often referred to as a "talking board," the Ouija board dates back to the late 1800s, emerging during the height of the Spiritualist movement. At a time when séances and spirit communication were becoming popular, the board promised a way for everyday people to communicate with the other side. But was it ever meant to be harmless entertainment—or something far more dangerous? Throughout the episode, we explore how Ouija boards are believed to work, including theories involving subconscious movement (the ideomotor effect) and spiritual explanations involving spirit attachment, portals, and entities masquerading as the dead. Many paranormal investigators and religious leaders warn that Ouija boards act as open invitations, allowing anything—or anyone—to come through. Others argue the board is only as dangerous as the intent of the users. We also discuss chilling real-life encounters shared by investigators, listeners, and witnesses—stories of unexplained activity, shadow figures, sudden personality changes, and long-term hauntings that began with a single Ouija session. Are these coincidences, psychological reactions, or something darker? The line between belief and experience becomes blurred as patterns begin to emerge. The episode also breaks down common Ouija rules and warnings often passed down in paranormal circles: never play alone, never play in a graveyard, always close the session properly, and never ask certain questions. But do these rules actually offer protection, or are they folklore meant to give users a false sense of control? As always, *222 Paranormal Podcast* approaches the topic with open minds and grounded discussion—respecting both skeptics and believers alike. Whether you see the Ouija board as a harmless game, a psychological tool, or a genuine gateway to the unknown, this episode will make you think twice before placing your hands on the planchette. So the question remains: are Ouija boards simply reflecting our subconscious minds… or are we inviting something unseen to step into our world? Listen now and decide for yourself.

Send us a textWhat if “the last judgment” isn't a cosmic trial but a daily practice that restores your peace? We dive into the end of ACIM Chapter 2, Section 13, and flip an old fear on its head: judgment becomes discernment, the simple act of keeping what is loving and letting go of what isn't. When “last” means the end of illusion—not the end of life—you stop bracing for punishment and start walking through a doorway to real aliveness.We explore how fear shrinks awareness and makes survival thinking feel like reality. The shift is practical and immediate: notice the thought that contracts your energy, recognize it hurts, and release it. You can't judge your Self—because you didn't create your Self—but you can apply perfect judgment to what you made: stories, identities, and interpretations. Real memory keeps only what is good; it heals without erasing, so even painful scenes can be remembered without blame or victimhood. This is forgiveness that actually works.Time takes on a single purpose: a safe buffer for correction, moment by moment. Every minute is an invitation to choose again—love over fear, innocence over guilt, clarity over confusion. Perfect judgment isn't moral superiority; it's clean seeing that recognizes illusion as illusion. As you retain only the lovable, fear loses its foothold. Relationships soften, defensiveness drops, and you feel bigger than the problem—free to embrace whatever appears. That's your part in the atonement: keep what is loving, release what is not, and let perception be corrected now.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a thoughtful review. Tell us: what fearful story are you ready to stop keeping today?Support the show
What if the thing you've been running from your entire life is the exact doorway to your freedom?Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician who spent 17 years in academic medicine—running ICUs, bone marrow transplant units, and managing end-stage disease—before discovering that the root of nearly all illness traces back to one thing: stuck emotions. His work now bridges ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science, revealing how we've turned natural feelings into toxic emotional constructs that can't metabolize through our systems.In this episode, you'll discover:→ The profound difference between feelings and emotions—and why one heals while the other gets stuck→ Why emotions are the "high fructose corn syrup" of feelings and what that means for your body→ What unconditional love actually feels like (hint: it's not the warm fuzzy sensation you think)→ How the victim-perpetrator cycle keeps you trapped—and the one shift that breaks you free→ Why nature has no purpose—and what that means for your obsession with finding yours→ The reason your grief, heartbreak, and pain aren't problems to solve but waves to ride→ How to move from "life is happening to me" to "life is happening as me"→ The one regenerative act that opens the floodgates for nature to restore everythingYou are not broken for feeling everything so deeply. You are an infinite soul in a finite body, which means you signed up for constant loss—and constant falling in love. The sunsets. The people. The moments. To be alive is to grieve and marvel in equal measure. And the courage to feel—fully, without resistance—is the medicine this world needs most. Listen now and remember what it means to truly feel your way through this one precious life.Connect with Dr. Bush:Website: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Join Dr Bush's Community: https://journeyofintrinsichealth.com/Instagram: @zachbushmdConnect with Raj:Website: http://www.rajjana.com/Instagram: @raj_janaiTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/rs/podcast/stay-grounded-with-raj-jana/id1318038490Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/22Hrw6VWfnUSI45lw8LJBPYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@raj_janaLegal Disclaimer: The information and opinions discussed in this podcast are for educational and entertainment purposes only.

For her, the paranormal wasn't a passing moment — it was a presence. A watcher. Something that clung to her across state lines, across homes, across every desperate attempt to escape it. What began as whispers, light touches, and unexplained anger soon grew into something far more intelligent… and far more dangerous. It started the night she saw a man walk through a locked front door — a man dead for over a decade. It escalated when her infant daughter began laughing in her sleep at something no one else could see. But the moment everything changed was the night a faceless boy appeared in her bedroom doorway… staring straight at her as her daughter screamed. This is not just a haunting. Not just an attachment. This is a story about a spirit that learned her name… followed her… and refused to let go. #paranormal #ghoststories #haunted #attachment #facelessentity #haunting #creepyencounters #realghoststory #supernatural #poltergeist #scarybuttrue #horrorstories Love real ghost stories?

Authenticity has become a buzz word. It's trendy and used everywhere — but what does it actually mean? In today's episode, Ashley is explores this, beyond language, aesthetic, performance and identity. It begins with the power of feeling - something that so many people have forgotten how to do. Ashley teaches that feeling is the doorway to authenticity. It is how we return to who we are beneath conditioning, patterns, survival strategies, and the identities we built to stay safe. She also speaks about how, through the awakening process, it can feel like we are dying and being reborn again and again as these layers fall away. She shares stories from her own life about the places she has softened and how we are all truly just doing our best. Ashley invites all of you to join her on December 31 for a powerful ceremony to close out the past few years and enter 2026 with clarity, presence, and peace. It would be an honour for her to guide you through this transition. May this episode support you as you rise and come home to yourself. * * * * * * * * * * * * The GUIDED Membership: Everyday Support for Your Awakening — workshops, live satsang, tools and community all in one place.

210: ART & KEFI: A Doorway To Peace and Everyday Wellness A unexpected doodling art class opened my eyes to possibilities of being well through art. Artist Christina Angelos joins to reveal ways to heal through art. Kiki & Christina Today's Lexi: Συνεργείο – Synergeio – Workshop In Today's Episode: Christina Angelos is a Fine Artist, Curator, and Modern-Day Philosopher capturing the soul's mystical experience of Greece, its water, cliffs, and divine energy. Rooted in her Greek Orthodox faith, Christina creates visual narratives that explore how the nous, our spiritual mind, encounters God through nature. Her flowing abstract lines mirror the fingerprint of each wave and the invisible energy of creation itself. A former high school art teacher, Christina now teaches online courses that guide students to draw and paint their own memories of travel and emotion. She's passionate about helping others develop their own artistic voice and style while connecting to something deeper within. Through her work and teachings, Christina invites others to feel the eternal pull of home, the same longing Odysseus carried in his heart, and to remember that divine beauty lives within us all. Listen in and learn ways to be well and possibly begin to heal your spirit with doodling, art and painting.

In the early hours of Thursday, February 21st, 2008, a six-year-old girl woke to a creaking noise down the hallway outside her bedroom door. It was a blustery night in rural Nevada, so she figured it was just the wind bending frozen tree branches in the yard. But then another creaking noise filled the house, this time even closer to her bedroom. She pulled her covers tight around her and stared out through the crack in the door. An uneasy feeling settled over her as the light in the hallway shifted. She could almost see the outline of a person standing outside her room. She squinted, trying to make out a face, wondering if it was one of her parents checking in on her. But as quick as the shadow appeared, it vanished into thin air.
