What Are You Fishing For? Men pleasers- Ephesians 6:6 Not with eye service, as men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; Gold/wealth- Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? Treasures-Proverbs 10:2 - Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. Lust of the flesh- Galatians 5:16 - This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Earthly accolades, wealth, something of value, women, men, Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 34For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Ecclesiastes 5:19 Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work--this is a gift of God. Ephesians 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. Luke 12: 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. What's in your tackle box? I love to fish. If I fish in freshwater, I take a smaller rod and lighter line. I use artificial bait that looks like a bug or edible thing to a fish that might find its way by accident into the water. In saltwater, I have to go heavier. Anything is possible but I am not capable of anything so I have to moderate. Jesus mission was misunderstood. Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. Who is He fighting? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. John 18:36 The Sword: For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." Job threw up the phrase that some people have ascribed to. Job 34:4 Let's decide for ourselves what is right and agree among ourselves as to what is good, That is straight up PRIDE and arrogance Charles Haddon Spurgeon said “DEAR FRIENDS, it is never wise to dispute with God. Let a man strive with his fellow, but not with his Maker. If we must discuss any point, let it be with imperfect beings like ourselves, but not with the infallible and infinitely wise God; for, in most of our discussions, these questions wilt come back to us, "Should it be according to thy mind? Art thou master? Is everyone to be subordinate to thee?" I am going to speak, this evening, to those who have a quarrel with God concerning the way of salvation. “ Charles Haddon Spurgeon—Spurgeon's Sermons Volume 46: 1900 What's in your tackle box? “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” Ephesians 4:11-13 Is all you are catching is hell? You might want to change your bait. You might want to change your tackle. You might want to mend your nets. Simon Peter, and Andrew had already joined him, now he was asking the sons of Zebadee. Matthew 4:21 Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them. James and John, quit fishing for the wrong thing. So what are you fishing for? Nets were used back in this time for everything. I am fishing for the people with a mind for God. I am fishing for the hurt and the lost people of God. I am fishing for the one. The mini, not the mega. I am not fishing for attention, recognition, accolades, or compliments. I am fishing to bring families back together. To bring wives back to their husbands, husbands back to Christ. I am fishing to bring parents back to parenting. I am fishing to let young men, be men. I am fishing to make old men wiser, revered and loved again. I am fishing to put you back in right order with God. And I will do it by hook or by crook. Fishing hook or shepherds crook. Only you can bring back your crazy kids. Pastor can't do it. if you kids have strayed, its your fault, own up to it, and minister there first. Oops, just lost some folks. You were with me until I went there. Deuteronomy 32:46 And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. Ephesians 6:4 And, you fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord So what are you fishing for? (4 points) Fishing requires patience. It requires the right equipment. It requires commitment. It requires knowledge. Patience (Rom 5:4) And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation Equipment -That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim 3:17) Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. Ephesians 4:12 Commitment Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Knowledge A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth. (Proverbs 14:6) Wisdom and knowledge are granted unto you; and I will give you riches, and wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had that have been before you, neither shall there any after you have the like. 2 Chron 1:12 Mark 1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. thanks, Kenn that link: https://youtu.be/FHIf0RPv_Rs kenn.blanchard@gmail.com
Years ago, my dad was driving us through the Ozarks while on vacation, looking for "cheap gas." Back in those days, (the mid-1960s), there were often so-called 'gas wars,' where competing gas stations would try to lure in customers from other stations with lower gas prices. So intense was the competition that even a penny or two difference per gallon could make a huge difference! At some point during this search, it became apparent that the 'cheap gas' being pursued was nowhere to be found; in disgust, my father asserted, in an angry tone, "I'll never pay $.25 for a gallon of gas!" We were stunned by his anger and said nothing. He only relaxed when he found what he had been looking for – cheap gas at $.23 a gallon. What a relief! Years later, of course, we teased him mercilessly for getting angry over $.25 a gallon of gas – by the time we were teasing him, gas was well over $1.50 a gallon. Now, my dad was not an ignorant man, but he was 'stuck;' in the situation. What I mean is that he was thinking like everyone else, in ways that were restricted by the shared wisdom of the day. No one else wanted to pay $.25 for a gallon of gas, either. The world had changed! What brought this story to mind is how most people think; the "wisdom of this world" is conditioned and shaped by so many things, including our emotions, the current practices of the day, and more. Also, the "wisdom of this world" is often wrong and will fade away over time, to be replaced by some other 'wisdom' that might be just as far from the truth. In the Bible, there is a story from King Solomon's life that literally 'put him on the map' in the politics of the day. It's a familiar story of God's wisdom bringing peace to a tragic situation. Solomon was king, and there was trouble in the courtyard. Two women were fighting over a child. Both were prostitutes with infants and shared an apartment. One of the infants had died overnight. The mother of the deceased baby recognized the situation and, in the middle of the night, 'switched out' her dead infant with the one who was sleeping. When the other mother woke, she recognized that the infant was dead, and the baby in her bed was the other woman's. She immediately understood the situation – the babies had been switched! There was a loud, screaming fight between the two, of course, and the two ended up in front of the king, whose task was to bring justice and peace to the now buzzing community. Solomon pondered the situation and said, 'Bring me the child.' He then reasoned that the only way to satisfy both women was to cut the child in half, giving each one half. The woman who had switched the babies accepted the ruling; the true mother of the living child, though, immediately acted to save her child, begging the king to give the child to the other. In some way, God's wisdom had helped Solomon to discern that the real mother would instead save the life of her child, even if it meant she would lose him. Solomon gave that woman the child, as he recognized her sincerity and the facts of the situation. So clearly, this act of Solomon from God was something the people immediately recognized as something beyond human understanding. The Bible says, "When all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had handed down, they feared the king; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice." I Kings 3:28 Word spread throughout the land, and soon people from all over the world came to hear Solomon speak the wisdom that was recognized to be from God. People need justice and guidance in messy situations, and they need to be given the understanding that it is better than what the world has to offer! When we read this old story, we are confronted with the understanding that there are two types of wisdom: Earthly wisdom, which often brings suffering, broken relationships, and even wars. Then, in contrast, is godly wisdom, which can get justice, emotional healing, and even peace when applied to a life or event. That wisdom is a gift from God, given through his grace. You may sense a need for wisdom from God to be applied to some situation in your life. Ask God for wisdom, and follow His direction. He can guide us in this life!

The roots of what has become the Alfa Vedic community were sowed in decades past. The introduction of Mom & Pop health food stores, organic farming, the rebirth of Naturopathic Medicine, and an almost universal disdain for war and government encroachments fanned the hopes for a new era of peace & prosperity on the near horizon. Our own naïveté, however, would render a good portion of that generation vulnerable to an insidious and pervasive agenda already unfolding under the deceptive guise of benevolent social equity and the fog of invisible terrorists. Many unwittingly succumbed to the guile of the predator class, but a vigilant few pierced the veil of deception intended to redirect and cull the herds into a more manageable number. We birthed and schooled our children at home and enjoyed home-grown food, while substituting Nature's own pharmacopeia for the synthesized poisons that would otherwise despoil Natural Design. Some of us jumped head-first into the treacherous waters of “legal land” to rediscover the marvelous blueprint handed to us by the divinely inspired forefathers of this free-republic. We understood the authentic meaning of “rebuilding the Temple” as it pertained to our personal biological & spiritual selves. America, the anatomical heart of this Realm, can only realize its destiny with the stewardship of a populace robust in mind, body & spirit. A new generation of intrepid Souls, undaunted by the machinations that would otherwise distract and impede, are gathering in preparation for a new era that cannot be thwarted by any Earthly attempts to undermine the next evolutionary leap of Mankind. The Alfa Vedic mission is our humble contribution toward this end, and we remain in constant gratitude to the AV community and our many friends leading in independent, but similar efforts, such as the Kin's Domains of Anastasia fame. Dr. Barre Lando and Mike Winner will commence the 2025 Alfacast season this Thursday with an always popular in-house episode for a glimpse of what our audience can expect for the new year. Future podcasts will showcase a diversity of guests with expertise in areas both pertinent & practical for those seeking DIY information, and deep dives into the arena of “real science” to inspire and prepare for the possibilities that lie ahead. Our private AV membership site will continue to enjoy the multiple-topic chat groups ranging from home-schooling, self-care, home garden-to-table food production, equity in law independence, good reads and a general exchange of experience and wisdom from our well-informed members. Deborah and Barre Lando will be offering a live monthly “back to the land” question & answer session to our Executive Membership along with more regular content drops to the AV “Off-grid Elegance” YouTube channel. Mike & Barre will continue live Executive Membership for intimate chats safe from YT censorship and the like. Members will have access to new limited production formulas from the AV farm and Barre's lab, while the AV open-access site will continue to introduce new offerings unique in the entire health-lifestyle industry.

How You Respond to Jesus, In Your Earthly Life, Will Determine How You Are Judged By Jesus MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus claimed to be the unique, divine Son of God; therefore, Jesus is on an equal footing with God. Jesus said that He would one day judge the world. How you respond to Jesus, in your life, will determine how you are judged. The Apostle John summarizes, in John 20:27-29, the interchange between Jesus and the Apostle Thomas when Thomas realizes who Jesus, the man that he had been following for years, is: “Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe' Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'”. You, as follower of Jesus, have not seen Jesus or His wounds. Therefore, do you believe through your faith; and are you able, by your faith, to say: “My Lord and my God!”? If not, why not? 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 who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Lust. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Perfect Provision. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. continues the series about the Jubilee Year 2025: Pilgrims of Hope.A pilgrimage is a spiritual journey and travel of a person to a holy place. Pilgrimages are distinct from a vacation or a trip and are an analogy of the pursuit of Heaven on the Earthly journey and are means by which the faithful experience God in a unique way through a departure, travel, a visit to a holy or devotional site, and the return to one's everyday life, having been transformed.The Holy Father has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, something which happens every 25 years. The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,” and it is a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis.The 2025 Jubilee officially opened on December 24, 2024 at 7pm, with the rite of Opening of the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter by the Holy Father, who then presided over the celebration of the Night Mass of the Lord's Birth inside the Basilica.In the Catholic Church, the concept of Jubilee or ‘Holy Year' was used to declare special years for forgiveness and reconciliation. The first Jubilee was declared by Pope Boniface VIII on 22nd February 1300 (Feast of the Chair of St. Peter), to mark the beginning of that century. He later recommended it occurring every 100 yearsNotes:On Mission: PilgrimagesOn Mission: ShrinesYear of Prayer 2024 ResourcesLearn more about Advent hereView Eucharistic Revival ResourcesRead Ad Infinitum blog posts on Advent Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

Earthly adoption is special. More special, though, is the God adopted us! He rescued us from the slavery of sin and made us part of his family. As our Father, he blesses us now and makes us heirs of future blessings.
When's the last time your beliefs about another generation were challenged? Mine were recently, after interviewing a couple, whose life's work is to teach and enable “generational reconciliation” in the workplace. What on earth is generational reconciliation? It's helping us, and each generation to understand the other generation, to know the truth about what they believe and to know the best attributes of each, so they can be appreciated and leveraged. What has it got to do with faith and work? Apparently, a great deal. In the next two years, Millennials will make up 50% of the workplace. Ifyou own a business or manage anyone from this generation, your knowledge of them will be a huge predictor of “meeting with ETERNAL and EARTHLY success”. How will YOU seek generational reconciliation in YOUR OFFICE this week?
The number 9 holds profound significance across many cultures and spirit traditions throughout the centuries. In sacred symbology, the figure of the 9 represents the (heavenly circle) reaching down and answering the prayers of the 6 (the Earthly circle) reaching up. In between these two realms is 8, the Earthly circle, which meets with the Heavenly Soul circle. This coming year is 2+0+2+5=9 and a year of 9 represents prayers all coming together and ultimately coming true. This class will revolve around this completion . . . the end of a cycle and the opening of our conscious awareness into eternal wisdom.
Being liked and accepted by the world has become an idol and obsession to the growing apostate church across America and globally.

Efrat Shokef, Ph.D., is a mother to three spiritually aware teens. A daughter, wife, sister, writer, teacher, cosmic journeyer, a shamanic energy healing practitioner working primarily with children, teens, parents, and families, and the Author of The Promise We Made: Three Universal Soul Promises We Made to Our Children – Near Death Experience and the Parenting Teachings It Invites. Efrat was severely injured in a car crash and experienced a profound near-death experience (NDE) when her three daughters were all still younger than four. Her journey of physical recovery, the integration of her NDE, and, at the same time, her inability to participate in the caretaking of her daughters sent her on a quest to the essence of motherhood. What makes us our child(ren)'s parent beyond the doing? A quest and insights she shared in her book, and on her website. Efrat believes that when parents know/remember that they are more than their physical bodies or their confused, wounded emotions, they can recognize the luminosity of their child(ren). When we all accept that we are on a journey of growth, we can mirror the possibility of this Earthly journey to the children in our lives. When we walk our essence and connect to who we are at our core, we can see that same luminosity in everyone, beyond gender, race, ethnicity, or age. Respecting all others, including our children— dependent humans, yet also powerful, experienced souls—becomes a way of life.

One of my favorite passages in the Bible is found in Luke 12:16-21, the Parable of the Rich Fool. While most of us don't have barns today, Jesus' warning about storing up earthly treasures is just as relevant now as it was then. So, what does it mean to be “rich toward God,” and why does it matter? Let's dive into this powerful lesson.The parable begins with a wealthy man who has a problem many might envy—his land has produced so much that his barns aren't big enough to store it all. His solution? Tear down the old barns and build bigger ones. He says to himself, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry” (Luke 12:19).At first glance, this sounds practical, even responsible. But Jesus reveals the man's tragic mistake. God calls him a “fool” because his life will end that very night, and all his possessions will be left behind. Jesus concludes with a warning: “So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:21).What Does It Mean to Be Rich Toward God?“Rich toward God” is a striking phrase, and while Scripture doesn't define it explicitly, we can infer its meaning through contrast. The Rich Fool's mistake wasn't his wealth but his heart. He prioritized his possessions over God, finding his security and satisfaction in material abundance rather than in his Creator.Being rich toward God means:Acknowledge God as Your Source – Recognize that all you have belongs to Him.Treasure God Above All – Count Him as your greatest riches, above money or possessions.Use Wealth for God's Glory – Invest in His Kingdom by giving generously to those in need.Had the Rich Fool done this, his wealth could have been a tool for eternal good instead of a trap for his soul.The story of the Rich Fool reminds me of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Like the Rich Fool, Ebenezer Scrooge was consumed by wealth and self-interest. But Scrooge was given a second chance to change—and so are we.Jesus teaches that the way we use money is evidence of our faith. While works don't save us, they reflect our relationship with God. Holding onto wealth for ourselves reveals a heart that treasures possessions more than the Giver of all good things.Money as a Tool, Not a TreasureIt's important to note that money itself isn't bad. It's a powerful tool that can be used for good or bad, depending on how we handle it.The danger lies in letting money take God's place in our hearts. As Jesus warns in Matthew 6:21, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” The Rich Fool's failure wasn't his wealth but his attitude. Instead of viewing his abundance as a gift from God, he saw it as an opportunity for personal indulgence.Imagine if the Rich Fool had responded differently. What if, instead of building bigger barns, he prayed, “God, this is all Yours. You have made my fields prosper. Show me how to use this blessing to glorify You and help others”?He might have used his wealth to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, or support God's work. He could have shared in the joy of giving and discovered that, as Jesus said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”Lessons for Us TodayThe Parable of the Rich Fool is a sobering reminder to examine our own hearts. Are we building bigger barns, accumulating wealth for our own comfort? Or are we using God's blessings to invest in eternal treasures?Here's how we can strive to be rich toward God:Trust in God's Provision – Avoid placing your security in money.Give Generously – Use your resources to bless others and advance God's Kingdom.Focus on Eternity – Remember that worldly wealth is temporary, but treasures in heaven last forever.The Rich Fool learned his lesson too late, but we don't have to. Let's choose today to prioritize God over possessions and live as wise stewards of His blessings.“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Let's not just hear those words—let's live them.Rich Toward God: FaithFi's Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolIf you'd like to combat pride in your life and grow closer to the Lord, purchase our study guide entitled Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich Fool.

In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. continues the series about the Jubilee Year 2025: Pilgrims of Hope.A pilgrimage is a spiritual journey and travel of a person to a holy place. Pilgrimages are distinct from a vacation or a trip and are an analogy of the pursuit of Heaven on the Earthly journey and are means by which the faithful experience God in a unique way through a departure, travel, a visit to a holy or devotional site, and the return to one's everyday life, having been transformed.The Holy Father has announced that 2025 will be a Jubilee Year, something which happens every 25 years. The theme for Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope,” and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis.The 2025 Jubilee will officially open on December 24, 2024 at 7pm, with the rite of Opening of the Holy Door of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter by the Holy Father, who will then preside over the celebration of the Night Mass of the Lord's Birth inside the Basilica.In the Catholic Church, the concept of Jubilee or ‘Holy Year' was used to declare special years for forgiveness and reconciliation. The first Jubilee was declared by Pope Boniface VIII on 22nd February 1300 (Feast of the Chair of St. Peter), to mark the beginning of that century.

When it comes to the Earthly experience, I find that people usually fall into one of two camps. The first camp is: The physical world is all there is. I'm obsessed with it. I'm attached to it. I seek my sense of self in my creations, accomplishments and achievements — and therefore, never fully live.And the second camp is: I'm not this human form — I'm a spiritual being. None of this is real. And because none of this is real, none of this matters — so I detach from the dimension I'm in and dishonor the journey I'm here to have.I want to bring about a new conversation. A new paradigm. A world where we know who we are on the deepest level (consciousness) and where we implement this higher-self embodiment into our human experience to help us become fully self-actualized beings — and unlock our potential in what we're able to create at the same time.Which is exactly what we're talking about inside of this episode.If you love what you hear inside of this conversation and you want to go deeper, you can reach out to my team on Instagram to learn more about The Evolution of You!Follow me on InstagramStay up to date on all events and offersIf you found this episode helpful, it would mean the world to me if you could take a moment to rate and review this podcast and share it with a friend.

In Matthew 6, Jesus tells us how we should pray and how not to… “…do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.”Of course, Jesus then gives us the Lord's Prayer as an example of how we should bring our needs to God. But are we skimming over part of it?A Prayer of DependenceIn our world of abundance, it's easy to forget that everything we have comes from God. From food and water to shelter and income, every provision is a gift from Him. Yet, we often assume that our efforts alone secure these blessings.Jesus teaches us to approach God with a heart of dependence, recognizing that even our ability to work and earn is from Him. This mindset shifts us away from self-sufficiency, reminding us to humbly rely on God for all our needs—physical, emotional, and spiritual.Lessons from a World of ScarcityIn Jesus' time, food security was uncertain, and people truly depended on God for their daily sustenance. Today, in a world of convenience and plenty, it's easy to overlook the relevance of this prayer.But the essence of “daily bread” is timeless:It guards us against the pride of self-sufficiency.It combats the illusion that wealth or possessions can provide ultimate security.It redirects our trust from material abundance to God's provision.In a culture that prizes wealth and possessions, praying for daily bread helps us resist the pull of materialism. Jesus warns against relying on earthly treasures and calls us to place our trust in Him instead.This prayer serves as a safeguard, reminding us that:God is our true provider.Our security lies in Him, not in material goods.God's Promise to ProvideJesus doesn't just teach us to ask for daily provision; He reassures us of God's care. In Matthew 6:33, He says:“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”Our deepest need isn't for bread, money, or possessions—it's for God Himself. When we prioritize Him, He promises to meet our needs according to His perfect wisdom.Living the PrayerHow can we make “give us this day our daily bread” more than just words?Pray with Gratitude: Start each day by thanking God for His provision. Gratitude keeps us grounded and aware of His hand in every blessing.Acknowledge Your Dependence: Bring your needs to God, trusting Him to provide. Recognize that He alone sustains you, regardless of your circumstances.Seek God First: Focus on your relationship with God, placing Him above material pursuits. Trust that He will provide all you need.A Transformative PerspectiveThis line of the Lord's Prayer is more than a request for sustenance—it's a call to humility, gratitude, and faith. By praying earnestly for our daily bread, we affirm our dependence on God and realign our priorities with His kingdom.As you reflect on this prayer, consider your needs today. Bring them to God with trust, knowing that He cares for you and will meet your needs in His perfect timing. Whatever you're facing—financial challenges, relational struggles, or uncertainty—God is your ultimate provider.Let's approach Him daily with hearts full of gratitude and faith, thanking Him for His unwavering provision and grace.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I recently learned that since I'm 55 or older, I can withdraw money from my 401(k) without penalty. My husband suggested using $15,000 from that to cover the home repairs we need. I'm hesitant to take money from my retirement, but we need to replace the furnace and AC. Should I withdraw the $15,000 or look at other options, like a home equity loan?I have about $70,000 invested in a CD, earning around 5.5% interest. My broker tells me that's not a good option anymore since interest rates have fallen. He's offered me a 3-year fixed annuity option that would give me a 5.4% return. What are your thoughts on making that switch to the fixed annuity?My husband and I have a $15,000 credit card balance with 11% interest. We've been paying $2,000 per month, but the balance keeps going back up because we've been putting some of our daughter's expenses in London on the card. How can we effectively pay off this debt?Resources Mentioned:Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Possibly the greatest heartbreak I see happen.. Watching a woman struggle to bring the child she feels on a soul level into Earthly existence with her. Possibly the greatest disservice to human conception I see happening.. IVF clinics disheartening a woman's ability to conceive when they don't even run the proper lab work. Mommas I know the sea of misinformation and confusion you might be swimming in when in reality you just want to bring your baby into this world no matter the method. In this week's episode I've compiled the information I've given to mommas who have conceived after failed IVF journeys they simply said they wish they knew sooner. Some of the information is for your physical body, and some is for your spiritual body. With all the voices telling you what to do to get pregnant, I am confident this one voice will help you find your inner truth & peace in your decision making process.

An established military axiom amongst the rank & file is to "never volunteer". Similar to the enlisted, the larger collective is taught to keep their heads down, and do the time. Fact is, we all volunteer to do someone else's bidding, even if it comes at a horrific expense. The American experiment was founded on "Voluntarism", that is, the Birth Right of every individual to Self-Determine. In other words, the concept of an Earthly authority above our Divine Rights is absurd, even through a more base mechanical lens. This timely Alfacast welcomes back, Voluntarist & author, Etienne de la Boetie 2, to examine the trajectory of the good ship U.S. INC in light of present post-election euphoria. Etienne de la Boetie2 is the founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation, the author of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! and the editor of the Art of Liberty Daily News on Substack and Five Meme Friday, which delivers hard-hitting voluntaryist memes and the best of the alternative media. He just produced Liberty on the Rocks – Sedona – The Voluntaryism Conference which brought together world class legal scholars, economists, and political philosophers to make the case that all the legitimate, non-redistributive services provided by “government” would be done better, faster and cheaper by the free market and REAL Freedom without the waste, fraud, abuse and extortion of “government.” He is currently working on his 2nd book, Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All!, which is available for pre-order at Voluntaryism-Book.org Show links: https://artofliberty.org/ Learn The True Nature Of Dis-Ease & How Our Bodies Actually Work: https://alfavedic.com/themyth/ Join Our Private Community And Join In The Discussion: https://alfavedic.com/join-us/ Follow our new YT channel: / @offgridelegance Get our favorite blue blocker glasses! https://alfavedic.com/raoptics Learn how to express your law and uphold your rights as one of mankind. https://alfavedic.com/lawformankind Alfa Vedic is an off-grid agriculture & health co-op focused on developing products, media & educational platforms for the betterment of our world.

"Sometimes we need to check ourselves so we don't fall into the black hole or oblivion. We can let love and light in." In today's episode of Better Call Daddy, Reena Friedman Watts welcomes Jonathan Guerrero from the Fatherhood Challenge to discuss the profound journey of fatherhood, spirituality, and personal growth. Why are we here? Who are we meant to serve? Jonathan shares his transformative experiences, emphasizing the importance of a father's role in a child's life and the spiritual connection that guides him. "An unstable dad is a perfect storm seeking fulfillment everywhere because he doesn't know who he is or his purpose." "You are created intentionally, deliberately, and you are created for a purpose." "Every man needs to have that need filled. That's normal." "It's like that check engine light in your car. It just won't turn off." "Family is the biggest blessing, but what about family that you have a hard time communicating with or understanding?" We dive into Jonathan's journey of self-discovery, his struggles with identity and purpose, and the pivotal moments that led him back to his faith. He candidly shares his challenges with spiritual deception and the powerful encounter with God that reshaped his life. Jonathan's story is a testament to the strength of faith, the importance of forgiveness, and the enduring impact of a father's love. Join Reena and Jonathan for a heartfelt discussion on the significance of spiritual and paternal connections, the challenges of fatherhood, and the legacy we leave for future generations.

Better Call Daddy is sponsored by Caroline Bass Health Caroline Bass, founder of Queen Tulsi, developed this scientifically-backed herbal supplement to provide natural stress relief and mood balance. As a mom of three balancing a full-time job, Caroline struggled with anxiety, fatigue and feeling overwhelmed. She began formulating herbal blends to calm her nerves and soon shared them with friends and family, who loved the results and she realized she had something special on her hands. College students, friends, and family members all started asking for her supplement after noticing how well it helped with everything from managing anxiety to unwinding after a long day. To make her remedy accessible, she partnered with herbal experts to create Queen Tulsi, a carefully crafted unique blend that targets emotional stress, brain fog, hormonal mood swings, and inflammation in the body. She has since sold thousands of bottles of Queen Tulsi driven by word of mouth and her mission to bring this natural stress relief to the greater public so everyone can benefit from the power of these ancient herbs.
